The Greatest Adventure [ SEX ]

[BaronBukkake]

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++
This thread is a mixture of Sci-Fi and Fantasy so ALMOST anything goes. Sex is allowed but try not to get carried away with it. Characters can have any REASONABLE equipment/powers/skills you want. Characters must be your own creation so Naruto, Gandalf etcetera are off limits. However phazers, lightsabres and such are allowed.

The full moon was directly overhead as a shadowy figure skulked through the alleys. Coming to a large gate the figure spoke "Gu Cyllu Al Moddabm Alpza, A Dzabf A Lzeyst Kypf Dzo Teml Ibt Dzo Zevlo Jzob A Mod Zebo." The mighty gate creaked open and the figure entered the cemetary and placed a strangely sculpted stone in its center. an eerie green fog filled the area and soon the graveyard looked like a scene from hell as nearly a dozen zombies and thrice as many skeletons clawed their way to the surface and began to wonder aimlessly around the cemetary. The entity that awoke them was nowhere in sight and the gates were shut once more.

[cross_grave]

Name: Grave
Nickname: The Dark Templar
Race: Human
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Preferences: Straight
Interests: Chess, Books, Cooking, dark Forces

Descrition: Grave is not very tall and quite slim. He has blonde, somewhat spiky hair and blue eyes. Wears black clothes, usually made of leather: boots, trousers and a jacket. He also has a black cloak which he always wears when he's going somewhere, and even when he's fighting.

Weapon: Grave carries a zweihander on his back. The sword is almost completely black, except for the hilt (which is golden and black) and the edge of the blade (which is silver). He doesn't use any armor.

Abilities: Grave can move faster than a regular human. Only strong warriors, who specialise in combat at high speed, can keep up to him. Grave also has the ability to manipulate darkness, hence his nickname - The Dark Templar. Usually he creates blades of pure darkness that serve as his primary weapons, but he is also capable of creating various other kinds of weapons, such as chains, spears or even a bow, which can fire powerful arrows that explode when they hit their target (this is most likely one of his strongest attacks). Grave can also create projectiles or beams of dark power to attack his opponents directly. His zweihander is enchanted, and is used mainly to enchance Grave's attacks. It can also withstand much more damage than a normal sword, and even regenerate. However, it usually takes a lot of time to repair all the damage.

Character: Little is known about Grave's childhood. He grew up in the north, and is a son of a warrior and a priestess. His parents died when he was still young. No one really knows what happened except for Grave, however he never told anyone what happened. His peers considered him to be weird, mainly because of his behaviour. Grave usually avoided company, and rarely spoke. He left his hometown when he was 15, and wandered across the world since then. Because the times were dangerous, Grave quickly learned how to fight. No one knows when or where he learned to command dark forces, but everyone agreed he had exceptional talent. He usually works as a mercenary, but he doesn't always accept the job. Grave has some kind of a code of honor, and has never gone back on his word.

************************************************** ************************************

The incident at the local graveyard frightened many of the citizens. People discussed the issue almost all the time. Grave learned about it by listening to the conversation of two workers that were having a break after a few hours of hard work. He had found a copy of the Council's announcement and now was slowly walking towards "The One-Eyed Cat". When he entered the tavern, people turned their heads for a brief moment, then returned to their conversations. Grave walked towards the bar, sat down and ordered a mug of ale. He drank slowly, thinking about the incident. Whoever raised the dead, certainly had knowledge of necromancy, and Grave was interested in this subject for a very long time. He finished his mug and paid the bartender. Then he leaned towards the man and asked him a question. The man paused to look at Grave, clearly suprised, then pointed towards a woman with red hair and yellow clothes. Grave stood up and walked towards her.

So this is that Rulina person. Well, time to get serious.

************************************************** ******************************************
Risa had been helping out around the town and had heard every thing about the graveyard incident she immediatly had been givin a copy of the councils announcement and had set off for The One-Eyed Cat as she found it and walked in ignoring the stares she got as she looked around she had never been in here before and now she felt lost as she walked up to the bartender and asked him who Rulina was after he pointed her out she thanked him and carefuly made her way over to the woman. "Wonder how much she knows about this anyway" she muttered to herself.

[UFF139821HC]

Name: Freedom
Nickname: White face
Race: Sa-u-Ka Sorn
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Interests: Chess, Fencing, Rifle (bolt action) shooting, strategy, wrestling and running

Description: Freedom is typical of the race of Sorns, standing at two meters tall with icy blue eyes, he has six fingers and one thumb on each hand, his arms, legs and body in general, whilst appearing spindly and weak are incredibly tough, the only odd feature that Freedom has is his Ginger hair.
He wears black leather armour, as his job with the army is as a ranger and ambush leader, striking from the trees and dissapearing without trace, his black armour has been painted into camouflage colours similar to DPM

Weapons: Freedom is well armed, at all times carrying a long sword with a blade that reaches about a meter in length from the crossguard to the tip, at the same time he carries, when on horseback three javelins in the saddle, and when on foot, a hunting crossbow, as well as a brace of throwing knives, two small daggers and a slingshot

Character: the best way to describe Freedom is cold, cold and hard, built like a mountain of ice and just as dangerous, Freedom is implacable and unrelenting, however he has a slow fuse, it takes a lot to wind him up, but once annoyed, he will keep on going, however usually he is polite and courteous.

Note: The Sorn Empire, a large empire, stretching from the Ladayn lowlands in the south to the Dur-Kalsn mountain ranges in the north, its capital is at the city of Ludais, the Sorn Empire is principally home to the race known as Sorns, and three breeds, the Lasaia, the most common breed of Sorn, the Madraly, the aristocracy, and the Sa-U-Ka, or progenitors, the Sa-U-Ka are known for being ageless, for living for eternity, it's rumoured they are capable of magic, but no one knows for sure since they're so rare...
but the upper echelons of Sorn society, the army, the royalty and the church are all almost exclusively Sa-U-Ka Sorns.
******

Freedom walks down the street, heading for the inn...
he needs a cup of mead to wet his throat before returning to the Empire.
As he walks, he hears people talking about an incident in a graveyard, and after having a look at a poster put up by the council, he decides to have an investigate...
after all, the Empire never pays him too well and a little extra coin could never hurt a soul too much...
He then heads towards the one eyed cat, internally wondering how drunk the inkeeper was when they thought of that name...
He enters the bar, ducking into the place and looking around...
it's hardly what you'd call nice, but he's been in worse places.
Several people stare at the tall white skinned soldier of the empire as he walks towards the barman and asks for the contact, when the barman points her out, he starts to wander towards her, giving the barman a silver septim for his trouble
He knows better than to ask for a glass of wine though.
'These savages probably don't even know what wine is' he thinks

[cross_grave]

Grave noticed the white-skinned stranger. His eyebrows raised as he observed the soldier. Grave has heard of Sorns before, but he has never met one before, mainly because he has never crossed the border of the Sorn empire. The young man shrugged. Noticing that the Sorn was approaching, Grave realised that he must have heard about the incident, and apparently wanted to earn some extra money. Well, this might get interesting. Grave had already reached the table behind which Rulina was sitting. He smiled and sat down on the other end. "Excuse me, your name is Rulina, right? I would like to talk with you about that incident in the graveyard."

[UFF139821HC]

the Sorn shrugs and sits down at the table, next to the big man with the two handed sword, but he leans back, relaxing
he's in no hurry.
He looks at the other, taking in his lack of armour and the big sword he carries
he decides the other is brave... or very very stupid
'probably a mix of both' the Sorn decides at last, deciding that this contract isn't worth fighting someone off for, and fighting zombies, while fun, isn't really much of a challenge, just hack, hack and keep hacking.
He decides that should the lady have to pick one of them, he will let the other have it.
But that doesn't mean he's not interested.
He then says
"should it please thee to know, lady Rulina I am also interested in this function thou wouldst have us perform, should thee wish it, I would provide assistance as is needed"

[cross_grave]

(Ugh, my character isn't really a big man. Not very tall, and very slim.)

When Grave heard the stranger speak, his eyebrows went up a little. It was rare to meet someone who talked like that nowadays. Well, perhaps this is how all of the Sorn talk... Or this is just one of his habits.

[foxyhime]

*she took note of the two men who were talking to the woman who had the info she shifted her armor so the metal plates would stop diging into her hip as she taped the contact on the shoulder to get her attention* Im sorry to interupt but im here to help like they are*she said pointing to the two men next to her*So um how can we help?

[BaronBukkake]

Rulina examined the three strangers and thought "Well now this looks promising these three could be quite helpful, they look fairly experienced. I just hope they are up to the task at hand."
After several seconds passed Rulina said "As you probably heard from the talk on the street somebody animated several corpses in the graveyard. The patrol were able to subdue them and imprision them in one of the tombs. The last heir to the family the tomb belonged to died over a century ago. They also discovered this."
She reached into her purse and pulled out a rock. It was about the size of a fist and was carved to resemble a crouching monster it had an octopoid head and a humanoid body. Rulina spoke "The council had the local wizards analyze it and their divinations determined that it is not native to this world, they also dicovered that the one who placed it in the cemetary lives three days travel to the west. Your job is to go capture this individual and bring him or her back here. Take this statue with you, it wil let you know when you find the person in question."
She then placed the statue on the table and sat upright in her chair watching the adventurers.

[cross_grave]

Grave watched the stone with interest. He had never seen something like that before. The fact that the stone was not from this world worried him a little. Altough he was interested in dark forces, he never wanted to meet a demon or a similiar creature. He never met one, but he knew enough about what power they offered and the price they demanded, and decided that it's not a good bargain. However, Grave has never heard about a demon like the one that was the model for this sculpture. For a moment, Grave wondered whether he should accept the job or not, then shrugged. "It doesn't seem to be a complicated task. But I would like to know more about the person we're supposed to find. Were you unable to identify said person?"

[BaronBukkake]

Rulina responded to Grave's question "The person who put the statue in the cemetary is a minor hedge-wizard leaving in a small village west of here. We are interested in finding out who gave him the statue. We are not sure what gender this mage is but we shall assume he is male for the sake of this conversation. Other than his location our wizards could not find out much more of any significance. One of the wizards was able to place a minor enchantment on the statue, it will emit an audible hum when you find the one who placed it in the cemetary."
Rulina then sat back and took a drink from her glass then said "Any further questions?"

[cross_grave]

"I don't have any. I shall accept this job." Having said that, Grave stopped paying attention to the conversation. He started to think about his own past. During his journey, he did pull off a few stunts like that mysterious mage, but only accidentally and on a much smaller scale. Plus he managed to avoid serious property damage and never really endangered anyone, so those were minor incidents. That guy is just an average spellcaster... This'll be easy. But he is just a pawn. Who's the mastermind behind this? And why did he want to raise the dead?

[UFF139821HC]

the Sorn answers, slipping into a more colloquial form of speech
"what're we supposed to do if he has guards or anyone with orders to impede our progress..."
he looks around, suddenly cautious
"I mean, I've got no problems with wasting anyone who offers me violence, but I'd like to know if that'll put you in hot water over here"
he however is thinking about the future...
will he need any kind of exemption for certain acts and can he get some support from a certain Eraysr (Spellcaster within the Sorn Army) he knows...
little things like that

[foxyhime]

*she looked at the two men who had already accepted the assignment* I guess ill tag along to just in case these two get into trouble and need help*she said with a playful smile before she picked up the statue to examin it*

[BaronBukkake]

Rulina looked at the sorn and replied "We shall leave it up to you to decide what to do with any flunkies the wizard may employ. We merely want the wizard so we can punish him for the cemetary incident, and for your part you will each be paid handsomely."

[UFF139821HC]

the Sorn nods, a cold smile landing on his features
"full discretion it is" he says calmly "then if you're not minding, I'll get you the wizard's information as well, saves you a job or so" he says, trying to sound airy about how he's going to get the information they want.
he doesn't really want them knowing what he plans to do to the wizard once he catches him...

[foxyhime]

*she looked at the person who had a cold smile on his face and she shivered slightly she didnt like him she looked at the other person and easily read him he was a kind soul yet could put up quite a fight if need be she liked him* So since we are working together what are your names?*she asked the two men out of curioisity*

[BaronBukkake]

Rulina looked at the three of them saying "We would have preferred for there to be more people to assist but we will take what we can get. You can use this tavern as a base your rooms and meals will be paid by the council. The wizard you are going after could well be a small part of a greater evil, if that should be the case then his capture will only be start of your mission." Removing a watch from her pocket and checking the time she said "It is getting late, please have dinner and get some sleep, your mission starts at dawn."

[UFF139821HC]

the Sorn nods calmly
"as it please thee" he says, rising and starting to walk outside "by the way, my name is strange, you won't be able to pronounce it, not unless you're linguistically gifted or Bhadran Suni! he cuts off with a sudden curse, his hand dropping quickly to his knife

****

"ha-nnelya M'kalsa" (I wouldn't, Big brother) the mocking voice drifts out of thin air, a female voice, airy, but at the same time, cold and hard.
Then the owner of the voice suddenly appears, shifting into the visible spectrum.
A Sorn, dressed in a gauzy robe that seems to almost float on the air, whilst not exactly transparent, it leaves very little to the imagination.
She, like her brother is very tall and very thin, skinny limbs and six fingered.
But her eyes are a bright glowing red, and there are four of them.
She has a dagger at her elder brother's throat as well.
She suddenly pulls away from her brother, looking at the gathering
"Forgive me" she says, bowing before them "where are my manners, I am Zsaryn Kor-Sylna, my brother, who has not given you his name is at this time called Freedom, though I have no doubt he will change it before much longer, now, big brother, do tell... why have you summoned me here?"

[cross_grave]

Grave sighed. He expected that sooner or later something weird would happen, but he didn't expect it to happen before the mission. He looked at the man called Freedom, then at the strange woman that called herself his sister, then back at Freedom. "You know, if I were in your shoes I'd avoid popping up like that, especially in those clothes. It draws a lot of unwanted attention."

[Chat Noir]

Name: Cari
Race: Human
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bi-curious
Interests: Men, mechanics, and beating men at things they'd never expect a girl to be able to do

Description: She has a chin length haircut and her hair is brown with paler streaks in the front. Her eyes are green and almond shaped but she also has goggles that she wears on top of her head to protect her eyes when working. She wears blue overalls that have been cutoff into shorts and has C-cup breasts that fill out the overalls and torn black t-shirt underneath. She has a developed figure but is slightly on the thin side. Normally she's covered in black smudges from working. She stands about 5'5". Her shoes are black steel-toed boots and she carries a large brown shoulder bag that holds her supplies and weapons.

Weapons: Her primary weapon is a sonic screwdriver which has various uses, some of which include the ability to operate virtually any lock (mechanical or electronic) and repairing or destroying equipment. She also carries generic tools such as regular screwdrivers, a wrench, a hammer, and spare parts.

********

"You've got to be kidding me," Cari muttered under her breath, "melodramatic females from the get go..."

She stood and walked calmly over to Rulina, ignoring the scene the sorn seemed to be causing. "Pardon me for listening in, but it seems you could use a little more help. I'm not much of a fighter, but I'm damn good back-up to have. Y'see, I'm a mechanic and general fix-it girl. Plus a first-rate lock-pick." Winking, she passed a slight smile on to Rulina.

[UFF139821HC]

Freedom answers
"I've been trying to tell her that for the past three hundred years, trust me, it's not one of those battles you can win" he says in a downcast way, then he turns away and wanders away to get something to drink, cursing in his own language as he remembers certain facets of his sister that contributed to thier long separation

****

His sister sits down, calmly brushing her white hair out of her eyes
"these clothes are only apparent to you" she says at last "other people in this restraunt are seeing me wearing a black cloak and blue trousers "if it makes you feel any better, I'll alter your perception so that's how you see me too, I would have done that when I came in but you look competent enough to be able to detect what I'd have been doing, and covering myself in illusion wouldn't be the best way to make an offer of assistance"
she leans back in her chair, snapping her fingers and conjuring up a glass of some strange golden fluid, of which she drinks deeply.

[BaronBukkake]

Rulina examined the two women and thought "Well now,this is getting interesting. These two seem to be fairly competant, and they want to help."
Something streaked across the floor and leapt into her lap, it was a small cat. It was white with a single black spot over its left eye that made it look like it was wearing an eyepatch.She stroked its ears and said "Hey, Captain Kissyfur how have you been?" The cat curled up and purred.
To the newcomers she said "If you wish to help then you are quite welcome to assist in any way you can."

[UFF139821HC]

Zsaryn smiles
"I would be honoured to assist" she says calmly, snapping her fingers once more and changing instantly into pink trousers and robe, with a blue shirt
she blushes, and snaps her fingers again, turning her pink clothes blue
"sorry about that" she apologizes, a slight smile still on her face

[foxyhime]

*she started at freedoms sister and turned away with a slight blush before decideing she needed fresh air as she stepped outside*So what do you think?*she muttered to herself as though she was haveig a conversation with someone* Thats what i figured as well do you think it would be wise to show my true form?*she continued to seemingly talk to herself as she leaned against the wall of the taveren not careing at the moment who heard her*

[cross_grave]

Grave sighed and rubbed his forehead. She's going to go with us? How nice. Fortunatelly, that young one seems to be quite helpful. He stood up and walked away from the table, but he stopped after a couple of steps. He turned his head to face the others. "I'll go and get myself something to eat, then I'm going to go to my room. Good night, everyone." He made his way towards the bar and ordered one of the local dishes. Grave ate the meal quickly and went to his room.

[foxyhime]

*she walked back in and walked past the group continuing to coverse with thin air as she headed towrds the room* So it is alright if i show my true form to help these people?*she muttered as she waited for a moment then smiled as though she had gotten an anwser befor entering one of the rooms as she sat down on the bed in a meditative position and shut her eyes as she closed herself off from the rest of the world as she felt her energy flow through her she just hoped no one bothered her as a cacoon made of blue energy compleatly enveloped her*

[BaronBukkake]

Rulina continued to pet the cat and thought "I hope these people are up to the task. If my suspicions about the wizard being only a pawn are correct we may need more help."
She carefully stood and carried the cat into the back room and placed it in its bed, then she returned to the main room where she ordered some ramen and sat down to eat wondering if any more people were going to sign-up.

************************************************** ************************************************** *******************

Many miles away was a crumbling castle with a single intact tower. Atop the tower a door opened and a figure emerged. The figure muttered "Vexqoms Gsu Ymonyph Nywu Nu Ufum Sijmouj. A Syfu Zuum Vexqomt Fojgeyppa Mimhgil Vij Vofu Wyah. Wynm Rehg Hgomqomt Izieg Og Oh Nyqemt Nu Sijma Ytyom. A Silu Gsu Sijhu Og El Vij Ymigsuj Jinl."
Dark energy swirled around the tower and clouds gathered, lightning flashed and soon rain began to pour. The figure entred the tower and closed the door.

[Chat Noir]

Cari brushed her hair out of her eyes, staring at the odd troupe she'd gotten herself in with and cursed slightly. She knew she should have been paying more attention to everyone who was signed on. Only the blond guy seemed to have some composure about him. The silver haired woman seemed to have something strange about her, but she couldn't tell what. And the sorn siblings... that was a soap opera she would have rather stayed out of. She sighed and leaned back in her chair, praying that this wouldn't be a disaster.

((I have limited Internet for the next 3 days, so just bear with me))

[cross_grave]

Grave sat on his bed. He was thinking about his companions. The youngest one certainly didn't look like a good fighter, but if she really was a mechanic, she could be a valuable addition to the group. Grave never really trusted machines, considering them accident-prone objects, but he knew that they could be useful sometimes. However, he had no idea how they worked. Well, if she really knows how machines work and how to repair them, she might be useful. And even if we didn't encounter one, her lock-picking skills could still be useful. The silver haired woman, on the other hand, seemed to be quite weird. Grave had no idea what was so strange in her, but when she was near him, he felt something for a brief moment. That strange aura suggested that there's more to her than one would think. Grave sighed. No matter what it was, he was sure that the group shouldn't rely on that in case of an emergency. And something in her behaviour told Grave that she had little experience. The Sorn siblings, on the other hand, seemed to be competent, even if the sorceress was a little weird. Well, it seems that we have a decent party here. Anyway, it could have been worse.

[UFF139821HC]

Freedom is sat in his room, he is also thinking hard about his comrades
that man with the two handed sword he decides will be useful, he appears to be reasonably well trained and he looks like he knows what he's doing... that engineer girl, I don't think she likes us... but oh well, that's her buisness... the only unknown I guess is that silver haired lady, she doesn't strike me as the sort I'd want at my back in a fight, and I don't know enough about her, she's odd though, I'll give her that.

****

Zsaryn listens to her brother's thoughts, whilst not agreeing with him on many things, she agrees with him in this, that the party as it stands are mostly unknown to each other and so, no one has an accurate idea of their capabilities
as such, she decides that if they think her a little wierd, that's fine
you'd be more than a little wierd too if you've done what I've done..

[foxyhime]

*the aura faded as her energy spiked for a moment as she smiled as soft white feathered wings spread open from her back befor she laid down and stared at the ceiling out of bordem*What an odd group im with*she muttered as she thought about the others in the group she joined the enginer girl seemed nice enough but the question was could she fight? As for the brother and sister well she didnt like the brother at all he seemed to radiate murder as for his sister well his sister was cute plain and simple. The only other person she felt she could trust was the man with the two handed sword he seemed to be nice and willing to protect people she also felt she could trust him.Now the only question was could any of them be trusted with the knowledge that she was an angel was a whole diffrent problem.*

[BaronBukkake]

Rulina finished her meal left the waitress a tip. As she stood a tall man dressed in dark brown clothes rushed in, glanced around , then hailed her "Lady Rulina, I am glad I caught you. The patrol has finished their investigation, the news is very grave."
With this the man handed her a letter,Rulina read the message and grew pale.
She turned to Cari and said "Go get some sleep, you will be needing all the energy you can muster according to this. Please excuse me but I am going to bed now."

**************************

After everyone had eaten the next morning Rulina told the others "Last night I got some terrible news, all of the corpses that animated were either pirates, bandits, or serial killers. We have no idea why these muderers were animated but it does not look good."

[cross_grave]

Grave wasn't really suprised by the news. At least, one would think something like that when looking at him. "We have three theories to consider. First option: that mage wanted to reanimate those people. This'd mean that he tries to create an army of walking corpses, or something like that. However, if I tried to achieve this, I'd choose to reanimate soldiers, so I don't think that this is the case. Second option: it's just a coincidence. It isn't very propable, but still possible. Third option..." Grave paused for a while. "Well, I don't believe in those kind of things, but let's assume that some evil force was summoned in order to raise the dead. That force chose to animate the corpses of evil people who killed others for fun or any other reason. If this is true, then we're in big trouble."

[UFF139821HC]

Freedom nods, digesting the information he's given as he eats...
he decides not to make an input, just to gather information
because, while he's fought whole armies composed mainly of corpses, he has a feeling that this time, his input may not be welcome...
****

Zsaryn has no such qualms
"would anyone have a problem with me suggesting something?" she asks quietly, looking at her food rather than everyone's faces

[foxyhime]

*she sat down freedoms next sister she had made sure to hide her wings from sight from everyone as she listened to what was said as she heard freeedoms sister speak up with an idea but not seeming to sure of herself*Whats your idea? You dont have to bee so shy im sure your brother will like it as well as the rest of us so lets hear it*she said to freedoms sister placeing a hand on her shoulder as she smiled softly at her*

[UFF139821HC]

Zsaryn looks at her, those quad eyes blinking, then she says at last
"well, for dealing with Zombies in the Empire, we tend to use fire, if we concentrated all of them in one place, then couldn't we use fire to kill them all?" she asks, her eyes still locked on the table
she doesn't want to use fire...
she's used it so many times in so many places
the smell of burning flesh hangs in her head, the sounds of the screaming never fading from her mind, the shape of burning buildings appearing before her and countless victims of flames she made...
Zsaryn's skin is cold, cold as ice

[cross_grave]

"Fire? Nice idea. Not very aesthetic, I imagine, but certainly effective." Grave turned his head to face the sorceress. "However, our mission is to capture the wizard who raised the dead. If I remember correctly, Rulina said yesterday that the guards managed to trap the dead in a crypt. I take that this affair has been taken care of, since the guards had already investigated and identified the corpses. Am I right?"

[UFF139821HC]

Freedom shrugs
"but I'd rather not have a whole load of corpses at my back" he says "and I know ashes are a lot harder to resurrect than corpses, so I suggest we let my little sister do her thing on those corpses so that this or that warlock can't call on them again, hence, warlock has no army"
****

Zsaryn shivers
she doesn't like the idea of blowing anything up, even dead people and she screws up her face slightly, withdrawing into herself
****

"that is... if she wants to" Freedom finishes lamely

[foxyhime]

*she surrounded her hand with another soft blue aura as a feeling of warmth spread throughout Zsaryn's body it felt loveing almost motherly as she looked at freedom* You realize shes proablly done this so many times its mentally scared her right?*she said glareing at freedom and the illusion she was useing to hide her wings wavered for a moment before staying foucused*

[UFF139821HC]

Freedom raises an eyebrow as he looks at her
"yes...I suppose" he says calmly "she's done it enough times, but surely what you define as mental scarring should have appeared sooner... bear in mind she's over three thousand years old" he states calmly

****

Zsaryn shakes her head
"it is fine big brother... I will perform what task you have me do as ordered" she says, looking down at her knees, her four eyes glinting "and... your illusion... it could use some work, it faded a bit..."
her skin is still icy cold

[cross_grave]

"Tsk."

Grave wasn't too happy with Risa. That brief moment wasn't enough for him to completely identify her, but seeing her power in action, he was able to ascertain that she was a creature of Light. He, on the other hand, was half-dark - few people knew about this, altough it was the reason why he could command darkness so easily. Unfortunately, this also meant that he didn't get along with people like Risa - creatures of Light and Darkness were mortal enemies, and Grave was susceptible to the calling of Darkness to a certain extent. He controled himself, but his instincts urged him to act. Oh, bugger. This is going to be lovely. I do hope she's intelligent enough to keep her distance.

[BaronBukkake]

Rulina spoke "Grave's theory the an unknown entity may have a reason to bring back murderers is a good one, and burning the corpses may or may not be effective if that should be the case."
She loked at Risa then at Grave and thought "There is more to these two than is obvious. I wiill have to keep an eye on them, at least until I know more about them."

[cross_grave]

Grave pulled out a notebook and a pencil. He had a habit of drawing when he was getting bored, and the conversation they were currently having wasn't very enjoyable in his opinion. Half of the notebook was already filled with pictures and sketches depicting strange creatures and places, old ruins, imps and devils, winged creatures and a repetitive motif of a black figure standing in a middle of a wasteland. There were also a few pages that were carefully removed and put at the end of the notebook. They didn't contain any of the pictures mentioned above: they were portaits.

[foxyhime]

*she also got bored and began to balance things on the tips of her fingers before she streched and looked at grave wondering what he was muttering about*So when do we leave? Im kinda bored and wanna see why everyone is so worried about some old wizard.*she said wile looking at grave and freedom wondering why they werent the one who were eager to go fight something*

[BaronBukkake]

Rulina said "You can leave as soon as you like. There are several stores in town if you need any supplies. Make sure you have everything you might need on your journey. I have several people looking for more leads so I must remain here for now. Good luck."
With that Rulina stood and left the tavern, leaving the group alone.

[Chat Noir]

"Well that was enlightening." Cari had remained attentive and silent throughout the entire debriefing. "The undead have been raised from their eternal slumber. I'd be pretty cranky if someone woke me up from my nap, I'm guessing they're not going to be the happiest of campers - not that they seemed like they were particularly friendly in life either."

Taking mental stock of her supplies she figured she could use a few more supplies, namely an extra energy supply but also some cookies. Nothing was more difficult than hard work on an empty stomach. "I don't know about you guys, but I definitely have to pick up some supplies before we leave. And maybe let the shop know that one of their star mechanics is leaving for an indefinite amount of time. I'm guessing they won't be too happy about it, but whatever. I'm skilled enough that they'll still want me back." Gosh that sounded cocky... even if it is true

Her expression was a bright grin as she adjusted her goggles and stood to her full, unassuming height. "Alright then, unless anyone needs my services immediately I'm off." Turning for the door she hardly expected to be stopped as no one had really seemed to take much interest in her as of yet, they were all distracted with each other's stranger traits - after all, four-eyes was a bit of a drama queen and the silver-haired one seemed not much better. Though she couldn't help being astonished at the sleight figure of the silver-haired woman. Even though she was only 17 she could swear that she weighed more than the other woman, though she reminded herself that at least she probably just had more curves and that most of her extra weight showed in her toned arms from working in a shop for so long - after all, she was in incredible shape for her size.

[foxyhime]

*she watched the engineer girl go and kept stareing at her and thought to her self she was also kind of cute before she shakeing her head again and standing up realizing she was very stiff from sitting so long*im going to go grab some medical supplies meet up at the town gate?*without waiting for an answer she also left but instead decided to see just what cari was up to as she made sure her wings were still hidden by her illusion as she trailed cari wondering just how in the world she planned to defend herself during this mission*

[Chat Noir]

Cari had the distinct feeling she was being trailed but she didn't know who it was. Used to walking around alone she quickly dodged into a large group of people and tucked herself behind a corner. All she had to do was make it to the mechanic's to gather up her supplies, and it was just down the road from here. She entered an alleyway that seemed like a dead end but hopped onto a few wastebins and over the wall at the end before finding herself in front of the store. "Marty's Repair Shop" really was not the best of names but she felt like it was home. She slipped in the back door soundlessly, which she had unlocked by pointing her sonic screwdriver at it and watched it swing open. Nicking a few odds and ends she ducked out of the shop before she was caught, leaving a note that she was gone and wouldn't be back for a little while. She left out the back as quietly as she had come in, turning back to the door only to lock it again with her handy screwdriver.

[foxyhime]

*she looked around for cari but couldnt find her anywhere she shruged and went to the nearby supply shop makeing sure to stock up on bandages and other supplies they might need if someone got hurt as she paid for them and left trying to find cari again when she walked past "Marty's Repair Shop" she heard the sound of a door locking and went around back only to find cari*Finally found you i lost you after you walked into the crowd of people.

[cross_grave]

Grave sighed. He stood up and looked at the Sorn siblings, who still were in the tavern. "I'll go and buy some stuff. Afterwards, I'll be waiting at the city gate." Clearly not expecting an answer, he left the tavern and went to the market. Grave didn't need to buy anything special: only food and a new knife. He lost his knife during a fight with some beasts in a forest once, and hadn't found a suitable replacement yet. After buying food, Grave visited almost all shops that sold knives, carefully testing every single knife that was in stock. Finally, after an hour of searching, he bought a new knife: a long, serrated edge with a nice black handle. The shopkeeper was quite relieved when Grave finally decided to buy it - Grave was a very difficult customer sometimes. Having finished his business, Grave made his way towards the western gate of the city.

[UFF139821HC]

Zsaryn and Freedom are standing at the west gate, both deep in conversation, Freedom is checking his horse out, making sure there are no stones in the hooves or anything like that, Zsaryn meanwhile is giving her horse an apple
"What do you mean, we may have to?" Zsaryn asks, sounding annoyed
"we will need to burn that building down" Freedom states emotionlessly "as a foolproof way of ensuring that those corpses don't come back again... we'll also need to torch the graveyard to ensure we have no other unexpected armies forming behind us... you know these humans, they're erratic at best and I'd like to be sure the job's done well"
"but... those were people's sons, mothers, wives, daughters or fathers, they're..." she says, pleadingly
"they WERE, dear sister, now they're just corpses, you didn't have a problem with flattening Zutarno or Zambely-dahn and those were real people"
"don't remind me brother, I still can't sleep"
Freedom shrugs
"fine... let one of the others do it and someday we'll have an army of corpses at our backs, we need to wipe this nest of the infection out, lest it spreads and we have to send in the army to cleanse it" he says pointedly
"FINE" Zsaryn says at last, sounding distressed "if that's what needs to be done..."
"Good girl" Freedom says, turning back to his horse, then he sees Grave

"hey, umm, Grave is it... do you know if we'll be using horses for this?" he calls as he finishes making checks on the tackle of his own horse

[foxyhime]

*she sighs realizing cari wasnt gonna answer anytime soon and knew they were late as it was she grabed kari and use one of her abilites to teleport them to the west gate* Sorry were late I had to find her*she said tilting her head at cari* So whats the plan and if it involves fire in anyway shape or form freedom you can forget haveing your sister do it I can tell from here that things shes had to do in the past still haunt her mind so ill do it since my mission is to help those brave enough to take on this fight.

[cross_grave]

Grave didn't show any emotions, despite the fact that he was standing at the gate long enough to hear the siblings's conversation. "Unfortunatelly, I do not have a horse... And I am not sure whether others have them or not." He took a few steps towards Freedom's horse, who wasn't very pleased with the Dark Templar's presence. An ironic half-smile appeared on Grave's face. "Most animals don't like me very much. Cats are the only exception." Grave turned his head to face Zsaryn. "You might want to keep your voice down a little. After all, we don't want too many people to know that you're going to torch the graveyard... Besides, don't you have an impression that you're overdoing it? Anyway, there is a lot of wizards and mages in this town and together they have enough firepower to level the whole graveyard and completely incinerate everything within it, along with all nearby buildings." Grave looked at Freedom, his smile widening a little. "You could trust the local people a little more. We're not some barbarians." Suddenly, Grave felt something. He turned around to face Risa and Cari. "Idiot. You shouldn't overuse your power like that, especially inside of a large city. Do I have to remind you that not everyone trusts nor likes those of your kind?"

[foxyhime]

*she had a sour look on her face as through grave had just slaped her* My kind?! How dare you!*she grabed grave and leaned close to his ear and whispered to him* If we werent in a city full of people id show you just what i am oh and keep that darkness of yours in check id rather not have to step in*with that said she relased grave and glared at him before looking at the sorn twins wondering what they had planned*

[Drager]

inc large intro.
Name: Allen formerly called Ace
Nickname: Ichi
Race: Human Chimera
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Likes: Any strategy game, gambling, technology, helping people
Dislikes: most people, military, unnessary fighting

Description:
Physical: Allen is 5'5" and weighs between 130-135 lbs. His hair is normally two-three inches past his shoulders and is worn in a pony-tail and is a deep brown color. Allen is fairly slim and not very physically strong however his chimera blood allows him to keep working for a long time. His left eye is a crimson red and right eye is normally completely colorless. Allen is also normally blind in his right eye.
Clothing: Jeans, T-shirt, and jika-tabi all laced with an unknown blue material that is unseen and keep the clothes clean.
Equipment/Power/Skills:
Skills:
Telepathy Shield: The melding of 21 different species has created a fairly strong anti-telepathy ability which Allen has honed and tampered with to be controllable to the degree of telepathy that works or doesnt work on him and created a telepathy-reverb that will send the telepathy back at the user in a manner that may just seem like the telepathy failed, or cause them pain, or cause them to enter a mental loop reading there own mind including memories locked away.
Telekinetic Sight: The crimson red of his eye allows him sight of telekinetic and other energy.
Phase shift: Allen is able to pull himself out of reality for a short amount of time, roughly one second. However when out of reality his movement is less restricted allowing him to move up to 300 feet away with a single phase shift. This ability puts a fair amount of stress on his body.
Shape Shifting: Allen is able to adapt his body to that of any of the 21 different species that his body is made up of by using a DNA injection in one of the six points on his body: neck, chest, left forearm, right forearm, left upperleg, right upperleg. Each point is circular in shape and made up of six smaller points that are the shape of stars.
Equipment: Because at one time Allen had access to high level technology his range of equipment is wide and unknown, however it is known he doesn't carry more than 1% of his available equipment.
Power gloves: A pair of gloves Allen created that when worn increase the users strength ten fold. They were created with no blue print so an exact copy doesn't exist.
Six DNA injectors: 6 different species DNA used for shape shifting
Two energy boomerangs: Another weapon created by Allen. The boomerangs that are thrown are created of pure energy from the main pieces which are made of a hardened metal. Which allows the boomerangs to be used defensively and offensively at the same time. And because the energy is linked to the metal boomerangs the energy will allows come back. The only flaw is only one energy boomerang can be created from each metal boomerang at a time.
Background: Created as an Anti-Telepathy / Anti-Telekinetic weapon Ace, at the time, was a failure in his physical abilities were far below the scientists expectations. Ace's intelligence was far above predicted so far above that it would result in a problem for the scientists and military later on. The military didn't kill Ace because his anti-telepathy / anti-telekinetic abilities coupled with his intelligence made him a near perfect strategist, which the military took advantage of when Ace turned 12. The military won every battle that Ace had been given full control over. During this time however the military also gave Ace complete access to all technology the military had to offer and with it Ace created all his current equipment and arsenal. At sixteen Ace used his equipment to escape the military base, destroy the base, and delete 99.9% of the information about his own existence. The .1% information was enough for the military to put decent bounty on him dead or alive preferable alive. Upon his escape Ace gave up his name and choose the name Allen to live on with. Since then he has become an exceptionally bounty hunter under the name Ichi but always accepts jobs under the name Allen.

[Chat Noir]

((Hime, if I don't say my character is back at the tavern, please don't decide that she is - even if I'm taking long to reply, my character wasn't done collecting supplies and teleporting her is kind of borderline god-modding. Besides my Internet is back so I can post more frequently.))

Cari just stood dumbly, looking at her stalker as she vanished. "It was you who was following me?"

Of course her reply was too late, but she just dismissed it and went around to grab her bike. Made from loose parts around the shop it was just a simple wheel-based motorised cycle. It really looked not much different than a dirtbike made from a scap-heap - and it wasn't particularly different either, aside from a few minor modifications, only it held together a lot better than it looked like it should have.

Starting the bike, she kicked off and drove to the west gate through tiny backstreets in just a few short minutes. She turned on her theft protection device using the sonic screwdriver once again and dismounted her bike. Seeing what looked like a brawl about to break out, Cari rolled her eyes and blasted the sonic screwdriver at an ear-piercing pitch to hopefully draw their attention - though how it would affect the sorn was beyond her. "There's no use killing each other before we even get anywhere. Now simmer down."

[BaronBukkake]

In the middle of town, only a quarter-mile from the cemetary, stood a large grove of Cyprus trees that most visitors commented looked out of place. The majority of townfolk avoided it but, after looking around to make sure nobody was following, Rulina entered the grove. She soon reached a tower that looked as if it had been shaped from a single piece of ivory. She strolled up to the door and knocked. Several minutes later a large person opened the door and said "Lady Rulina, please come in. The magus will see you shortly."

Rulina entered and took a seat in the study and waited. After a short time someone entered and said "Rulina, I am pleased to see you again." Rulina turned to see look at the speaker.The speaker continued "Unfortunately, I have been unable to ascertain any more useful information at the present time other than that the one who cursed the graveyard has cloaked his location with elemental energy making it nearly impossible to scry him."


((Please do not take control of other player's characters, it is impolite))

[UFF139821HC]

(Chat Noir, we're at the west gate, just to let you know)

Freedom blinks slightly, massaging his ears slightly
"thank you" he says to Cari "finally, a little bit of calm... ah, I need to speak to you about something... how good are you at repairing rifles?" he asks, gesturing at a weapon that looks similar to a No3 Lee Enfield hanging in the saddle.

***

Zsaryn looks at Cari with something between respect and horror...
she doesn't even want to think about the powers Grave and Riza represent, but she knows they're powerful and while doing that was useful for avoiding a fight, she hopes that niether of the two decide to obliterate them in revenge...

[Drager]

Allen sits on top of the building in the middle of the city with multiple screens projected in front of him. The screens show many places around the city. He seems to keep looking at the screen showing the west gate.
"So they've concluded that weakling was a pawn, at least they seem competent. Quite an interesting group an Angel, a darkness user, a mechanic, a Sorn warrior, and a Sorn sorceress. They sure have enough power to deal with that pawn, but they still have not come to the conclusion that a pawn rarely acts alone,"
Allen turns off all the screens displaying the city and looks towards the west gate.
"The pawn's guardian should still be nearby waiting to track those who go after the pawn. I just have to capture him and get my information. And to do that I must track those the tracker is tracking and find the tracker,"
With that Allen phases to the top of a building near the west gate. Upon phasing in he coughs a couple times, after the first cough he starts coughing up blood. Allen wipes away the blood with the sleeve of his T-shirt. The blood disappears into the cloth.
"At least no internal bleeding or muscle damage this time," Allen says spitting out the blood still in his mouth. Allen looks down at the group waiting at the west gate.
"Now to just to follow them,"

[Chat Noir]

((Last post has been fiksed for consistency))

"What's the problem with the rifle?" As Cari finished the question she could have sworn that she heard something and had the uncanny feeling she was being watched, but as she looked around there was nothing of note. "I can probably fix it if it's jamming, depending on the cause. If something else is wrong you'll have to fill me in as best you can and I'll see what I can do."

[cross_grave]

Grave looked at Risa, his face a mask of pure hatred and anger. "I'll never forgive those of your kind, brat. And I assure you, this journey will be your last one." Having said that, Grave turned around and walked away, passing through the gate. Before he left, he stopped for a moment and spoke once more. "I'll be waiting outside."

[foxyhime]

*she had to bite down on her tounge to keep herself from yelling at grave as it took every ounce of self control she had not to run up behinde him and hit him in the head how dare that thing who shuned the light say that to her.Decideing that calming herself down would be better for her sake she watched cari and freedom with intrest to see how cari fixed freedoms rifle as she moved her wings around makeing caertin that her illusion was still up* Arrogent people like grave need to learn some manners*she muttered still quite upset with him*

[UFF139821HC]

Freedom looks at the two of them, then he says to Cari
"the firing pin's broken" he says, exposing the bolt face for her to see, and yes indeed, where the firing pin should be is an empty hole
"sorry to trouble you with this but there isn't an armourer within a thousand miles and I need my rifle to be working"
he hands her the rifle
"it's a fairly straightforward job, I've got a whole box of spare parts for this thing and I'm sure I've got a replacement firing pin, I just havent got the tools to do it, and you're the expert..."
he hands her a black box from his bandolier
"the firing pin is the little thin thing, it's L shaped with one end filed to a point"

****

Zsaryn rolls her eyes as she listens to the confrontation, annoyed at the both of them, then she decides to see Grave
"hey" she says, walking up to Grave "don't kick me for asking... I'm not very bright, but can you tell me why you and... whatsername are fighting?" she asks, knowing it sounds stupid

[cross_grave]

Grave sighed and looked at Zsaryn. He was in a bad mood, but he didn't want to vent his anger on someone else. "There is a number of reasons. She is an angel, and a very childish one. She's impatient and hot-headed, and she knows who I am. You see, I'm called "The Dark Templar" for a reason. We're natural enemies. On top of that, I hate angels more than anything else." Grave looked up in the sky. "Don't ask why. I would like not to talk about this."

[UFF139821HC]

she nods sadly, putting her hand on his shoulder in a vain attempt to make him feel a little better
"I know what you mean... but can I ask you a favour?" she asks quietly
"can you travel at the front of the convoy with my brother when we move, and I'll stay at the back with her... just to keep confrontations to a minimum?"
she looks at her shoes
"I know it's not much of a solution but it's the best I could think of..."

[cross_grave]

"I understand." Grave started to watch a nearby bush. Suddenly, he crouched and put his right hand in front of him. "Come on, don't be afraid." A small, black cat walked out of the bush, and after a brief moment of hesitation it walked towards Grave. The swordsman smiled. "Cats really like me. I don't know why." He started to pet the cat, which purred in response. "I think I'll keep it."

[UFF139821HC]

she smiles as she watches him interact with the cat
"I'm not really an animal person... I don't think they like my smell" she says, idly tugging on her clothes
there is a strange smell about her
the smell of burning.

[cross_grave]

"Anyway, I wonder how fast we're going to move?" Grave stood up. The cat meowed and climbed on his shoulder. "You and your brother have horses. Cari has a motorbike, which is most likely faster than horses. The animals will get tired very quickly if we force them to run. Also, that angel girl most likely doesn't have anything." Grave paused for a moment, then continued. "I have found something for myself, so I won't slow you down."

[UFF139821HC]

she shrugs
"I will get hold of a horse for the Angel girl, or she can fly... and I will persuade our engineering friend that keeping time with us would be a good idea, so we don't have to tire the horses"
she stretches out suddenly
"but the two horses me and Freedom use are special horses, they're faster than average, I'm sure they can keep up with a motorbike"
she stands up
"well..."

[cross_grave]

"Guess I should prepare myself, then."

The cat jumped down on the ground and looked at Grave, as if it waited for something. "Cats are the only animals that can store elemental energy, altough no one knows what they use it for. I wonder, maybe that's why they like me?" Grave crouched and pointed his hand towards the pet. A black aura surrounded it, forming a ball of pure darkness. It expanded and changed shape until it became a large, cat shaped creature made of darkness. "Too bad it can't fight, but it's form is too delicate for this. Fortunatelly, it's a very good mount."

[foxyhime]

*took note that grave and Zsaryn are talking she still hates grave for what he said and considered annoying the hell out of him but decided not to as she closed her eyes for a moment as her outfit changed to a strange dress like armor* Thats better so when are we leaveing? Cause in all honesty just standing here is boring.*she atched what grave did to the cat and immeditatly steped forward to yell at him for what he did but stopped if he wanted to get himself killed that was fine she just glared at him again befroe looking at freedom wondering what he was waiting for other than his wepon surly he had more than just that one?*

[Drager]

The bugs pick up every last word of the conversations.
"As usual people bore and annoy me to no end. Though they might provide some entertainment,"
Allen digs through the hidden pocket in his pants and pulls out a medical syringe with a small needle and the word Fenrir written on it.
"This will work,"
Allen pulls his shirt up to reveal the circle of stars on his chest in the general area where his heart would be. He proceeds to inject about half the vials contents into one of the stars making up the circle. Weakly placing the vial back into the secret pocket Allen falls to his knees.
"It has been to long since I assumed another form,"
An extraordinarily large wolf with blue and white fur is left where Allen stood seconds ago.
"With only a fifty percent dose I should still be able speak in human if need be,"
Allen jumps into the forest and lets out a deep howl.
"This feels great,"
Allen stretches out getting used to the body.
"I suppose," Allen starts to say but pauses to clears his throat.
"it's time to see how trusting these people are," Allen says in the language spoken by wolves.
Allen proceeds to walk out of the forest in the middle of the path twenty feet in front of Grave and Zsaryn. He casually lays down staring at them.

[cross_grave]

Grave noticed the big wolf laying in front of him. "Oh, bugger. I don't have time to deal with things like that." He took two steps forward, charging dark energy in his fists. "I'll let him know that I can bite quite hard. I do hope, for it's sake, that it's intelligent enough to run after taking a hit." He said to Zsaryn.

[Drager]

So Grave underestimates me. What will the others do. I would rather them act before I must.
Allen continues to just lay in front of Grave as if nothing will happen.

[foxyhime]

*walks up behinde grave and flicks him in the back of the head* idiot ever consider not everything is out to hurt you! *kneels down and smiles at the wolf*Hi dont mind him hes just dumb so is there anything we can help you with are you hurt?

[cross_grave]

Fortunatelly, Grave cancelled the spell before he made a facepalm. Gee, she's dumber than I thought. Talking like that to a possibly dangerous beast... There's something strange in that wolf, though. Most animals run away when I summon darkness, they're too afraid to face it... This ain't no ordinary wolf...

[Drager]

This should hopefully go as expected
As he had thought Grave came to the conclusion he wasn't a normal wolf already and would need to tread carefully. Allen stands up slowly and licks Risa in an attempt to show that he is fine and not dangerous.

[foxyhime]

*she smiled at the wolf and said in a tone only he would hear* I know you arnt normal your aura isnt that of a wolf*she smiled at the wolf again before she stood up and glared at grave*most animals are acctualy quite nice grave you just have to know how to act!

[cross_grave]

"Well, most animals don't like me despite my best efforts." Grave shrugged. "Cats are the only ones that trust me. They really like to stay around me. Sometimes, they even let me create a darkling based on them. I don't know why, but they don't seem to be bothered by the fact that their bodies are inside of a huge mass of darkness. But nevermind that. Do you have any idea what that wolf is?"

[foxyhime]

*she looked at grave like he was stupid* yes i have a clue as to what the wolf is im not stupid.

[cross_grave]

The fires of rage appeared in Grave's eyes. "Listen, you little brat. Don't use that tone when you're talking to me, unless you want to end impaled on your own spine. I just asked you a question, so don't behave like a smartass."

[foxyhime]

*she just rolled her eyes and waved his threat off* yeah yeah sure whats next gonna threaten to smack me? slap my wrists? Im not afraid of you and you know why so quit trying to scare me.

[Drager]

I'll have to be sure to take my feline form next time. Now lets see how they react to this.
Allen looks directly at Risa with his two crimson red eyes and begins to speak in wolf.
"Both of you seem to noticed I'm no normal wolf, actually I'm not a wolf at all but an animal of many forms. Also you two might want to cool off or some real trouble may show itself,"

[cross_grave]

Grave's eyebrows went up a little. He wasn't expecting something like this to happen. He decided to ignore Risa for now. "Oh, lovely. It can speak. Altough I'd prefer it to speak in a normal language."

[foxyhime]

*smacks grave again* you truly are clueless you know that?*she looked at the wolf and smiled again* forgive him hes a slow learner and if it means that much to you he and I could try to get along but it porbablly wont last very long thats grave the guy whos full of himself*she pointed to grave* and im risa who are you?

[cross_grave]

"Risa, listen carefully. If you smack me again like that, I swear on my life that I'll stab you. And I've never gone back on my word so far. Please remember about this."

[foxyhime]

*she ignored grave* so what brings one as unique as you here?*she asked looking at the wolf truly curious as she smiled at the wolf* Also a name would be helpful.

[Drager]

Allen reverts his speech to human.
"My name is Allen, and I'm here on a whim you could say,"
Their bickering is getting on my last nerve

[cross_grave]

"My name is Grave. May I ask, why did you decide to come here and talk with us? And why in that form?" Grave responded, this time not bothering himself with a sarcastic response.

[foxyhime]

*she smiled* nice to meet you allen care to join us? we were just about to head out to go find som wizard who caused the graveyard problem care to help us out?

[cross_grave]

Grave walked towards Risa. When he was close to her, he whispered a few words into her ear. "You're far too trusting. This creature could be that wizard's servant. Why are you so sure that he would like to help us?"

[foxyhime]

*she glanced at grave out of the corner of her eye and whsipered back* Cause unlike you i feel trust is something important in a team with out it the team simply falls apart i trust you and yet your a creture of darkness wile i am an angel yet i still trust you so quit being mr.tough guy and learn to trust people once in a wile.

[cross_grave]

"One begins to trust another person only when one begins to feel sympathy towards the other person. I trust Zsaryn, because she's a nice, even if somewhat eccentric, person. I trust Freedom, because as a soldier he knows what honor is. I trust Cari, because she's a good person and a competent mechanic. But I do not trust you, because you're immature and you're an angel. There is a reason why I hate your kind, and honestly, I don't think that you should trust me either."

[Drager]

Underestimating the ears of a wolf especially at this small distance. And here is the part I'm going to dislike greatly, putting up with people to catch my prey.
"I would gladly join to help a lady such as yourself,"
I'm not sure how long I can keep up this charade, just hope the tracker slips up sooner rather than later.
Allen turns his sight to Grave.
"And it's funny how you speak of angels, though I understand where you are coming from seeing how the light and the shadows are both familiar to me,"
Getting too carried away, I need to withhold information not give it out.

[foxyhime]

*she shruged* fine be that way but i was taught trust and freindship are two of the most important things to have so you dont have to trust me that fine but i trust you as well as th sorn twins despite freedom being a little odd i also trus cari and allen even though weve just met i feel i could trust allen to have my back in a fight.Wether you wish to trust others or not is something i cant change but know this im not childish it is simply my nature to act this way when nothing serious is going on also i trust you enough that i hope your not dumb enough to attack me our kind may hate each other but i dont care.*she looked at allen and smiled* great now we just need to wait for car and the sorn twins to finish prepareing and were all set.

[cross_grave]

"Tsk. Looks like we've forgotten about the sensitive ears of our friend..." Grave smiled and turned to face Allen. "Well, if you really want to help, I have nothing against that. But don't make remarks like that one you've just made." His smile disappeared. "You know nothing about me yet."

[Drager]

A toothy grin appears on Allen's face.
"If you don't want people to make remarks don't make remarks yourself when you don't know anything about them,"
Does he think he is the only one with a troubled past

[cross_grave]

"Fine." Grave walked towards his dark mount. "And by the way, I do remember asking a question but I don't remember recieving an answer. Why are you helping us?"

[Drager]

"I'm helping because I like to, though to tell the truth I hate people. That is pretty much my reason,"
Nothing of interest yet. Though conversations where everyone is hiding at least one big secret always bored me.

[cross_grave]

Grave laughed when he heard the answer. "Well, looks like we're not very different. Anyway, what's with Cari and Freedom? Repairing one rifle shouldn't take this much time."

[UFF139821HC]

Zsaryn shakes her head.
"the bit he's getting replaced takes about five minutes with a standard bolt, with a DM bolt could take up to an hour"
she shrugs
"the firing pin is quite fiddly, even with Cari's hands on it, I'm not expecting Freedom to be done for another half hour at minimum, if he's putting in a Dedicated Marksman firing pin that is"

she yawns
"by the way, you do know that these petty little arguments are starting to grate on my nerves, just thought I'd let you know"

[cross_grave]

Grave was ready to say something like "Do I look like I care?" but decided not to start a war with the sorceress. He sighed, wondering how he should reply. Aw, screw it. I'm not anyone's babysitter. "So, so you think that instead of arguing, I should wait silently until I snap and finally impale Risa on my sword?"

[UFF139821HC]

the sorceress doesn't answer
Zsaryn is deep in thought about something else
at last she says, emotionlessly
"men of shadow and men of light should both think before they speak, that way we may avoid these petty squabbles... for we run the risk of placing the noose around our necks and building the gallows ourselves, saving our enemies the bother, we must all hang together or we will all hang seperately"

[UFF139821HC]

the sorceress doesn't answer

"men of shadow and men of light should both think before they speak, that way we may avoid these petty squabbles... for we run the risk of placing the noose around our necks and building the gallows ourselves, saving our hangman the bother, we must all hang together or we will all hang seperately"

[cross_grave]

Grave's eyebrows went up. Zsaryn's sudden speech was very suprising, but Grave decided not to interrupt. Just what the hell was that?

[Redemptor]

Name:Hayg'Oth
Nickname: Fury Demon
Race: Non material being/evil spirit
Age: ??
Gender: ??
Sexuality: ??
Interests: Anger,hatred,will of revenge,blood lust

Description: Hayg doesn't have body on its own,it moves within dimension equal to earthly one,that could be called spirit realm.
He is rather simple consciousness that is attracted to every negative feeling,that one live being can have,towards another one.
Once he will sense such burst of emotions around him,he will immediately infest the creature.
In earth realm,this can be noticed by reaction of possessed.
Being becomes very violent,fierce and nervous.To put it simple,resembles something of berserk state and will think most likely about killing.
Because of this,humans who are associated with knowledge over spirit realm,are calling Hayg'Oth a Fury Demon.

Weapons: He doesn't have any weapons,he's using other creatures in parasite-like symbiosis,on metaphysical level.
When he manages to possess being,his attributes are making it stronger..infested creature is under influence of solid adrenaline wave,sharpening all senses,making it way more resistant to pain,as well as more agile and brutally strong.(side effects varies,depending on what was possessed)
Also,evil spirits influence makes organism a bit more resistant on magic.
However,this comes at price.Creature can't last long in such frenzy.
After couple of minutes,it becomes exhausted.Hayg is responsible for it,as he feeds on energy during blood lust time.He doesn't kill the host,after possessed organism gets exhausted/or killed,he will simply leave it.

[Chat Noir]

((Sorry, I was busy today and am just getting onto the computer now))

Cari's hands flashed over the rifle, the firing pin's finicky nature causing it to dance around in her hands a bit. Finally it was in place and she took a few more moments to seal it with her sonic screwdriver, pointing it at the rifle for a good thirty seconds. "It should give you less trouble now, sonic screwdrivers are handy little devices. They can do just about anything," she said as she handed the rifle back to Freedom.

She looked around at her surroundings for the first time since she started and was startled at the appearance of a wolf. Cari focused on her work and tended to block out the world, so she wasn't too surprised that something new had happened while she was busy. She also noticed more squabbling. Zsaryn had seemed to quell the argument a little with her comment. "Anyway, I'm done. That's a very odd looking wolf... is it safe?" She just said that it was odd-looking moreso because it gave her a strange feeling than because it looked strange, but she couldn't place the strangeness so she assumed it was in the way it looked.

[foxyhime]

*she perked up when she heard cari speak fianlly someone elsse other than grave to talk to she thought as she smiled at cari* yeah the wolf is safe hes quite nice.*she glanced at grave with a disgusted look before she leaned against a tree to meditate and try to relax her mind*

[Chat Noir]

"Nice? How can you tell?" Cari was rather confused by the thought of an animal being considered "nice." Generally "tame" was the word one applied to animals. She stared perplexed at it, wondering how they came to that conclusion.

[cross_grave]

"Well, apparently this is not a regular wolf." Grave turned his head to face Cari. "It's a very intelligent wolf. It can talk, and it just offered to help us."

[BaronBukkake]

Rulina said "It looks like you will have to do some field work, Leilami. I think the people we hired are still in town, they will most likely be heading for the west gate. You can probably catch them there. I have to get back to work."
She stood and left the tower heading back the way she entered.

[Drager]

Allen walks over to Cari, his real motive being seeing the rifle. He stops a few feet in front of Cari.
"Not half bad, even though the tech is fairly basic," Allen says looking down at Cari.

[UFF139821HC]

(arent we in an age with sort of medival technology?)
Freedom blinks slowly
"figures" he says calmly "the rifle itself is over two hundred years old"
he picks it up
"it still performs its functions very well, and I see no reason why to change to more modern weaponry"

[cross_grave]

"Sometimes old methods work best." Grave agreed with Freedom on this point. "New weapons aren't necessarily better." Grave sat on the back of his darkling. "So, can we leave now? I'd like to get over with this soon."

(Not really. Hi-tech is included as well.)

[foxyhime]

*she opend her eyes slightly*Yes lets go im bored and sitting her chating or in some cases arguing isnt going to help us find that wizard and capture him now is it?*she streched as she bent backwards into a handstand and looked at grave and freedom forgetting she was wearing dress like armor the skirt barely covering her lower body now*By the way grave i meant to ask what do you fight with if your sword breaks?I dont think ive seen you with any spare wepons.

[cross_grave]

"Actually, that sword is my last resort." Grave controlled his face well. He didn't even blush when Risa bent like that. "It's enchanted and it enhances all darkness-based attacks. Usually, I create weapons from pure darkness and fight using them. Besides, my sword can regenerate. It takes time, but on the other hand, you have to use insane amount of force to break my sword."

[UFF139821HC]

Freedom nods, summoning his horse and mounting easily
"right, first stop, that wretched graveyard... I want to deal with it, just so we dont have an army of corpses to deal with" he says, pulling his hood up
"and while you may consider my appearance slightly melodramatic, I have found it effective for dealing with villagers who may otherwise challenge me"
he pulls a white mask that only shows two eyes and the smooth curves of a nasal passage out of his bag and puts it on.

***

Zsaryn looks at her brother as she watches him put his mask on and she shivers, drawing up the hood of her own pale whiteriding cloak and she nods
"now we ride" she states, snapping her fingers and turning her travelling clothes into white robes of plain cotton...

[cross_grave]

Grave and his mount moved towards Freedom. "I'll ride with you in front. Risa will ride with Zsaryn in the back. Cari will stay in the middle." He said that as if it was something self-evident.

[foxyhime]

*she looked at him for a moment* oh well that clears up alot mind if i ask how you got your sword so strong that it would take an insane amount of strength to break?*she looked at cari the skirt on her armor falling lower reavling more of her lower body* Hey cari mind if ask how you plan to defend yourself if something gets past us?I mean the only thing i can tell you have is your screwdriver i dont think that would help you much in a fight unless it can double as a dagger or something?*she saw everyone was getting ready to go and quickly stood up right and heard what grave said*Ok works for me* she walked over to Zsaryn and smiled*ready to go?

[UFF139821HC]

Freedom smiles, grateful for the fact that his sister has the presence of mind to separate the two before they become troublesome with thier petty squabbling and foolish disputes...
"then let us ride" he says, spurring his horse into a gentle trot.

Freedom slides a clip into his rifle as they march, two strip clips of five rounds, giving him total capacity of ten rounds, plus one in the chamber
"by the way... if my sister starts acting a little wierd... bear with her" he says

[cross_grave]

Grave smiled. "No problem." Upon hearing Risa's question, he turns his head. "As I've said, my sword is enchanted. The spell permamently increased the durability and resistance of my sword."

[foxyhime]

*she looked at freedom and wondered what he meant*ok ill keep an eye on her then anything in particular i should watch for?Any certain signs or something?Or will she just go really quiet?*she stopped asking questions after realizing she proablly asked to many at once* Sorry about that i start asking and get a little carried away sometimes.

[UFF139821HC]

(Hime, would you mind my female character having a crush on yours?)
Freedom answers
"she'll probably reach out to you, try and hug you as many times as she can or something like that... just let her hug you or hug her back or something like that"
he sighs
"she's not feeling well at the moment... before she came here with me she was doing something in a war that never should have happened, yes she probably is scarred from the war, and I wouldn't blame her in the slightest"

he looks away into the middle distance

[foxyhime]

(no i wouldnt mind my char has a crush on her as well so no worrys ^-^)

*she nodded in understanding*ok i can do that ill make sure to do whatever i can to help out oh before i forget though do you have any healing supplies?Im worried i might run out quickly if we keep getting hurt.

[cross_grave]

(That'll only make things funnier.)

Grave, who was riding right next to Freedom, looked at him carefully. The man cared for his sister, despite the fact that they weren't the best family. "Do you think that she'll manage to overcome this? And Risa, unfortunatelly I don't have much."

[UFF139821HC]

(thx)
Freedom relaxes noticeably, sliding back in his saddle
"I've got a field first aid kit in my kitbag and a goodly supply of travel medicines and other little bits and bobs that should fix up most injuries, I don't have any plasters though, hope no one minds" he says "but as for my sister... she won't ever work through it... it's not the sort of thing you really recover from, ever, only time can do that, time and affection, which is something she's not been getting from me unfortunately" he says, stiffening again
****
Zsaryn sighs, looking out at the world around her, at the steadily undulating terrain all around her, and her mind starts to wander
back to the smell of burning flesh and the sound of explosions
back to the screaming and death, and one gloved hand reaches out for the closest hand she can find

[cross_grave]

Grave was silent. He was thinking about his own past. He recalled the memory of that fatal day that put him on the path he still followed, seeking both revenge and redemption. He recalled how he had learned the art of combat, how he unlocked the incredible power that was staying dormant in him for over 15 years. Finally, his thoughts drifted towards the few people that were his only friends. The only people he had ever portayed in his sketchbook.

[foxyhime]

*she noticed Zsaryn was reaching out for someone and smiled as she took her hand and gently squeezed it*Dont worry im here to help in anway i can*she whispered to her as she smiled at her showing she meant what she said*

[UFF139821HC]

Zsaryn looks at the other, holding her hand tighter
her skin is still remarkably cold
"thank you" she says, sounding as if she's about to cry...

[foxyhime]

*she smiled again and hugged her* your welcome i promised id help out anyway i could and i mean it so if you ever need a shoulder to cry on or just someone to talk to im here just let me know ok?*she smiled at Zsaryn again*

[UFF139821HC]

Zsaryn nods quietly, her eyes turning forwards
"how long till we get to the graveyard?" she asks at last, putting the pain away
she knows she has work to do
she can cry later...

***

Freedom answers
"about an hour I think" he answers "you know what you plan to do?"
she nods, but doesn't answer and Freedom drops it

[foxyhime]

*she felt sympatheic towrds Zsaryn for what she had been put through as she went deep in thought would it kill freedom to show a little compassion towrds her? she heard him say how long and became slightly anxious but remained calm as she thought of several ways to help her secret crush but also get freedom to show sympathy for his sister when she spoke up*Hey Grave Your awfully quite arnt you bored or even anxious or worried?

[UFF139821HC]

Zsaryn sighs, looking at the other girl
she's so sweet she thinks sadly as she ponders feelings she didn't even know she could feel, let alone towards othe girls...

she sighs sadly and says at last
"Freedom cares for me.. he just doesn't show it too well in peacetime" she says, reading the other's face

[foxyhime]

*she looked at Zsaryn and spoke softly to her*I can tell he cares for you I just wish he would express the fact he cares for you better wether during peace of a fight it shouldnt matter it just bothers me he dosent show it as well as he should*she hugged Zsaryn gently*Since he dosent show it well ill make up for it*she said smileing at her*

[UFF139821HC]

Zsaryn feels the other hugging her and she feels her heart beat faster as the other hugs her
"thank you" she says quietly "I'd like that" she says, reaching out to hug the other
her mind briefly taken off the dying for just a moment as she thinks about this girl...

[foxyhime]

*she smiled and just hugged her more*your welcome anything i can do to help you in anyway makes me glad im able to help you.*she said with another soft smile*

[UFF139821HC]

Zsaryn nods
"and I you" she says at last "if I can help you in any way, I swear I will" she says, breaking away at last as Freedom casts a funny look in thier direction
half happy, half sad...
she nods to Freedom, as if to say "don't worry" and Freedom returns to looking forward
"you do know Freedom's not his real name" she whispers

[foxyhime]

*she smiled and whispered back*I kinda figured that but its probally easier toremember than his real name right?

[UFF139821HC]

she nods
"true, and easier to spell in your language" she says as she produces an apple from her pack and starts to munch on it "I have a similar name, I just don't use it often, it's Faith, or Hope, depending on where I'm going"
she stretches out
"how old are you, may I ask?"

[foxyhime]

*she smiled she liked those names she had* well human age id be 18 also if its ok may i call you hope? I really like that name*she said with a smile*

[UFF139821HC]

Hope nods slowly
"yeah" she says at last "you can call me hope if you like... Angel wings" she says, smiling happily, her quad eyes sparkling, all thoughts of war and death forgotten as she munches on her apple, thinking about this lovely girl she's met

Freedom watches them talking happily, thinking hard
he knows that it would be really mean to split them up, but knows that's what's going to happen eventually

[foxyhime]

*she blushed slightly at the nickname* thank you hope i like that nick name*she smiled and hugged hope again before she let go and allowed her mind to wander thoughts of hope filled her mind as she smiled slightly*

[UFF139821HC]

Hope looks out at the world around her, beginning to slowly feel better about herself as she thinks about her future and what may lay in store for her, in the arms of another
she knows it will never work, she knows that it shouldn't work and that it won't last long...
but she doesn't want it to end

Freedom opens his mouth
"Hope... Al Lyna vadnis-larsa kunis kalten yaslai" (enjoy it while it lasts) he says in the flowing, musical language that is Sorn, his eyes cold, hard and sad.
He doesn't want to have to do this to her, but he knows he has no choice

[foxyhime]

*she heard freedom say something she didnt understand but she didnt like the tone of it as she looked past hope and at freedom*Hey now freedom I may not understand a word you just said but it didnt sound good or nice and if thats the case then i suggest you leave her alone you may be her brother but that gives you no right what so ever to say something mean!*she hugged hope again and glared at freedom as her eyes changed to nothing but pure white*Also freedom if your going to try and ruin whats going on between hope and i all i can say is dont bother.*with that said he hugged hope again and refused to let go as she droped the illusion around her wings*

[UFF139821HC]

Freedom pauses, then he says calmly
"I was merely reminding Hope that she has responsibilities as a member of the imperial army, and unfortunately those responsibilities take higher priority than love, while I don't mind you two together as a couple, it is my duty to inform you that as Hope's commander, I may require Hope in the field of battle and she is legally obliged to come, if you're still resolved in loving her, then so be it"
he shrugs, his tone becoming more casual
"other than that, I have no problem with your relationship... as long as you Badsanye (F***/shag/have sex) a suitable distance from camp so as not to disturb my sleep..."

Hope blushes furiously, looking at her shoes
"I wasn't thinking of that!" she says, going crimson
"yes you were!" Freedom laughs "don't lie"
as he continues the light banter, he continues looking around, continues staying vigilant against any possible threat...
however he doesnt see invisible eyes watching him
eyes with hate in thier hearts...

[foxyhime]

*she just look at freedom as she also blushed when an idea came to her* Fine then if your her commander then im joining your command as a personal medic for you two and i dont care who says what im not leaveing her side so consider me a combat meidc for you two*she smiled at hope as she still blushed slightly at what freedom had said but still smiled cause come hell or high water there was no way she was going to leave hopes side as her wings twitched slightly and she became very alert something was not right here*

[Drager]

(I hate missing large amounts of posts. Guess I can blame my friends and the fire nearby. lol)

Allen keeps pace with the horses not wanting to outrun them. Allen also listens to every conversation around him, even the whispers and that spoken in the Sorn. The Sorn language is among the many languages Allen can understand but not speak himself.
Parts of this are going exactly as planned but others I couldn't have even guessed. So many negative unknowns: Going off the main task right at start, the mission not at the forefront of some of their thoughts, members of the Sorn Imperial Army, and having to hold this form for longer than expected. The only positive thing I didn't expect is my presence being much smaller than it should be. Going to the graveyard first is a diversion I would have rather not have to go through, but I knew it was a fifty fifty
"Perhaps I should just incinerate the graveyard now to save time," Allen mutters under his breath.
Allen realizes that he just said that out loud.
Shit, this habit needs to stay away when I'm around people.

[cross_grave]

Grave had a lot of problems with keeping his face straight while he was listening to the conversation between Risa and the siblings. He didn't speak though, until he heard Allen's remark about the graveyard. He turned to face the creature. "You could do that? I don't think it's really that necessary, but I guess that I've been outvoted."

[UFF139821HC]

Freedom shakes his head
"no disrespect, but I doubt ANYONE could blow it, with precision from this sort of distance... that graveyard's at least a mile away and I want to make sure we don't kill anyone we shouldn't..." he suggests "just that I doubt killing innocents, or the guards around the crypt would make us popular among the villagers"
he looks away, thinking hard

[cross_grave]

Grave sighed. "In my opinion, the city has more than enough resources to take care of this problem itself. Do we really need to take this detour only to torch a simple graveyard? I'm telling you, if anything gets out of the ground, the local mages will blast everything into dust."

[UFF139821HC]

Freedom answers calmly
"yet why haven't they done so, if there's someone there with hostile intent, standard procedure is to deal with them, rather than to leave them alone to do who knows what... no, I think we need to do this, also, I think it might be a good idea to have a look round where this event started, see if we can see anything that's been missed"
he shrugs
"of course, if everyone else wants to do something else I'm happy to do something else as well, I just think like a military man"

[cross_grave]

"I do not think that this visit is necessary. We have the statue, we know enough to deal with that wizard. Besides, a necromancer rarely uses the same source of bodies more than once, since it is quite easy to dispose of those that were raised and secure the other bodies. And I do not like the idea of destroying a place where many people buried the bodies of their friends, relatives and loved ones. Whatever you are going to do, I shall not participate in this. And I will not allow you to destroy the graveyard. There are things in this world that are sacred, and I am not going to be the one that defiles them."

[UFF139821HC]

Freedom nods slowly
"as you wish" he says at last "we will not destroy the graveyard then... "
he communicates the message to Hope in thier own language and a smile returns to her face, then she whispers to Grave
"Ehlyat syrnasla Sa-u nak lasrdna" (May God smile upon you)

[cross_grave]

Grave smiled back to Hope. He didn't have many friends, but they were the most important thing in this world for him. He witnessed a few of them die, and he was the one that buried them afterwards. He didn't want to disturb the peaceful sleep of those that have left this world, and he knew how painful it'd be to see the grave of a friend being destroyed by someone.

[BaronBukkake]

As Rulina walked back through the grove Leilami caught up with her saying "I am sorry I could not find out more about the wizard's motives or weaknesses."
*************
Rulina looked at her and said " It is fine, you did your best and that is all anybody could expect." She gave Leilami a smile and receieved one in return.

[foxyhime]

*she titlted her head to the side wondering what freedom had said as she agreed destroying the grave yard was a bad idea and she hugged hope again* Any idea how much longer? We should at least look around the areas by the grave yard to see if any thing of use was missed what do you think hope?*she asked her crush as she glanced around something still didnt feel right she felt like they were being followed*

[UFF139821HC]

Freedom shrugs
"well, we have enough to find the wizard who did it, and after I've made him spill his guts we'll know everything he knows"
he shrugs
"of course, he may be damaged goods by the end of it, but that's all good" he shrugs

Hope shivers slightly
she doesn't want to think about what her brother has planned for that wizard...

[foxyhime]

*she felt hope shiver and hugged her closer gently wraping her wings around her which sent a calm yet warm feeling through her letting her know she wasnt going to allow her to be hurt*Dont worry i promise ill do my best to keep you safe hope*she whispered to her as she quickly kissed her cheek and blushed slightly at what she had just done*

[UFF139821HC]

Hope feels the girl kiss her and her mind temporarily goes numb, her skin tingles and her heart skips a beat, but then she shakes her head
"please... that makes it difficult to think... you do know what my brother will probably do to that wizard right?" she asks

[foxyhime]

*she nodded as her smile vanished*I know but that dosent mean we have to think about it right?*she smiled again*Besides why should i stop when kissing you is so much fun.*she said as she kissed hope on the cheek again*

[UFF139821HC]

Hope smiles
"good question... you want an answer?"
she leans in as if to kiss the other and whispers
"because we could be walking into an ambush and if you're kissing me, I can't think straight enough to acutate a spell, besides, that means there's nothing to do when we hit the sack tonight"

Freedom listens to them and wonders if they're not taking it a little fast

[Drager]

Good they don't believe I could destroy it accurately even when I already have the coordinates programmed.
"I agree that if we have enough info we should go directly after the wizard," Allen says trying to ignore the affection between Risa and Hope.
my outburst may of just fixed one of my problems. and whatever Freedom has planned for that wizard is nothing compared to what I have prepared.

[foxyhime]

*she blushed slightly when she heard what hope said and smiled again as she whispered back*if your sure you can wait until tonight then ill do my best as well to wait*she winked and just to be a tease kissed her on the lips and smirked*just so you dont forget.

[cross_grave]

Grave looked at Hope and Risa, then turns around. Oh, how lovely. Only Freedom and Cari seem to be normal... He closed his eyes and concentrated. Grave usually meditated at least once per day. This way, he cleared his mind of unnecessary thoughts and was able to stay sharp in critical situations, giving him an edge when he needed one.

[foxyhime]

*she poked her head around to look at freedom*so we are going right after the wizard?*she asked wile gently working her hands up and down hopes back trying to loosen up some of her muscels in her back so she wouldnt put to much of a strain on it during a fight as she gently sucked on her neck wile staying alert to give any potentiol attackers a false front and make them belive she and hope were to distracted by each other to be much opposistion*

[UFF139821HC]

Freedom nods
"pretty much" he answers, checking his rifle "Hope, make sure you're ready to lay down fire should we need to"

Hope nods
"I'm eyes on" she answers, closing her eyes and breathing in deep as the other rubs her back

"no you're not, your eyes are closed" Freedom says calmly

[foxyhime]

*she glanced around at freedom and got his atention with a soft whistle as she winked hoeping he would understand she was doing this to fool and potentional attackers but also cause she truly loved hope alot as she sucked on her neck again trying to make it convincing in case they were being watched as she whispered to hope*dont fall alseep now im doig this to lull any attackers into false security but also cause i love you*she quickly began to beat herself up in her mind for letting that slip as she really begain to beg hope returned her feelings otherwise this would get quite akward*

[UFF139821HC]

Hope whispers
"I'm not falling asleep, that's a hot spot you're sucking on... stop sucking please, it will get embarassing otherwise" she says "and I know you
