Tioszaea

Darkness was at its peak here. It was the dead of midnight, and not a soul to be seen. All other sounds were drowned out by the torrential rain, save for the thunder that boomed in the distance. To some, it was almost poetic, in a sad sort of way. Then, like a wayward traveler, a lone man walked slowly down the street; he was in no rush to be out of the rain. He tugged down at the brim of his hat as he passed the quiet bar. His garments were sodden, ripped, and torn in many places, but there had been no effort to mend them. His hands in his pockets, he turned down an alleyway with an unexpected increase in speed. A door lay at the end of the dark alley, that led into an apartment building.The man tried the doorknob, with no luck. Quickly glancing around him, he drew a crowbar that he had concealed in his jacket, and proceeded to wrench the door open.
Once he had accomplished this, he took one more glance around him, then trodded calmly into the apartment. The door was left open. Approximately ten minutes later, a scream penetrated the monotonous, continuous pitter-patter of the rain on the rooftops, a shriek of pure fear. None came to investigate; the neighbors were all quite asleep at this hour. Then, the figure emerged from the inside, wielding a dagger in his hand. It was dripping with blood.
He quickly closed the door behind him, and hastily ran out into the street before darting underneath a manhole cover, disappearing from view.
Many more attacks such as this one continue to plague the downtown cities of Tioszaea. They all seem to be unrelated, except every single one of them had the word "SCREAM" painted on the wall in blood. This has been seen as an act of terrorism, and the Tioszaean government has publicly stated that they will not stand for it. All members of the government have unanimously voted for any and all personnel trained in counter-terrorism be alerted. Help is direly needed.
(OOC: Note that this is meant to be ROLEPLAYED, nothing else. I don't want to see "I send my army and kill all these people," as I'm trying to make this interesting. Please, ROLEPLAY!) The thread is open for any and all who can ROLEPLAY.
