Charlotte

It didn't take long for them to find a shop in the shadow of the excessive opulence higher up in Pine Garden, both figuratively and literally. The streets they roamed reminded the gunslinger of those more modern cities, namely the districts that straddled the line between visible squalor and relative well-being. Sure, the place looked nice enough as it was, but there was a crew of scruffy kids taking apart a car off in an alleyway, at least three purses snatched on their way to the store, and the sounds of a drive-by further down the road. Maybe a bit of distraction in other circumstances, but Charlotte had more important things to attend to. Tucking the phone back into her cleavage once it had served her purpose, Charlotte looked up at the place she'd brought them.

"What kind of designer shoe store calls themselves Boots and Scoots?" the blonde muttered, half to herself, "Well, the inside at least looks like it might be the right sort of place."

Turns out, it was indeed terribly misnamed, the stock turning out to be of notably better quality than what one would expect from the name, featuring things from mundane fashion to more seasonal offerings to selections for more supernaturally inclined customers, not to mention the exceptionally comfy line-up of socks.

"Welp, guess this'll do after all," the gunslinger noted, "Got anywhere you wanna start, darling?"

[YOLF]

Yusho

His crooked brows formed into a frown as he realized the cue he missed and thought of the lesson therein. Living without being able to taste anything, or get anything out of regular food? Even if you depended on something esoteric, or hungered for it (dispositions he was more familiar with than sometimes he wished to be), if you could enjoy worldly simplicities, then at least there was something in common with people to understand. Unable to have even that sounded depressing, and it made Yusho wonder. To what extents would the drive of such creatures be stretched, when even those that humans related to one way or another could be anathema to their lives.

Yusho withheld his words pensively. When even the Chosen of Sun and Moon labored under their own 'curse', you could indeed call that deprivation one.

"Actually," he began to respond, awkwardly seeking where to place the offered slice before deciding to stack it on top of the first. "Air, Earth, Fire, Water, and Wood. The elements that make up Creation. At least, the creation I know of."

The exalt bit down another chunk of pizza, surprised at how substantial the stacking made it, and glanced into Valerie's eyes. "Where is this city?"

[SINIB]

Nero

As she had been scanning the area for a free plot, the empress felt a delicate hand land on her shoulder, a beautiful elven girl was speaking to her, one she did'nt recall ever having met, but she would not be caught dead letting such a lovable subject notice she had forgotten about her. Indeed, how could she ever have forgotten about one such as her! Indeed, now she remembers, how silly of her to having forgotten her for but a moment there!

"Ohh! Indeed it feels like it has been eons, my dear! And yet you are more beautiful than the day we met!"

Turning around, the smaller blonde heartily embraced the stranger lost friend.

"Welcome to... Neo Roma!"

Eruraviel

The girl smirked internally, maintaining her charming facade on the outside. Easy. Eru thought to herself. So easy, she just might be useful.

"It's been so long, empress!" She exclaimed, returning the hug with glee. "Too long."

The girl kissed Nero on each cheek before disengaging from the hug and tilting her head and adopting a befuddled expression. "But huh? This isn't Neo Roma. This is Pine Gardens, you know?"

Nero

"Hm? Well, We just started..."

The empress turned around, choosing not to tell the elf what had covered her alabaster cheeks before Apollo's sun had dried it.

"But a first step is this, and as they say all roads lead to Rome!"

Posing her arms as to cusp the slum's excuse for a skyline, the followers pouring out of the small, dingy bar with it's signboard crudely overpainted 'Neo Roma I' suddenly saw the small woman in a different light, the warm stove flame drinking and enjoying herself with them mere hours prior suddenly seemed like a torchlight leading an army, a light bright as the sun whose ambitions they would follow to the depths of the abyss to fulfill.

Eruraviel

Eru nodded in complete agreement. "Yes! All roads lead to rome. But does that mean you're planning on taking over, empress?" Eru asked her, grabbing her hands in excitement. They were trembling in anticipation. "Will you lead us to triumph and victory!" She cried out. Tears of joy seemed to be welling up in her eyes.

The elf hadn't even the foggiest idea of who or what Rome was. She's need to do some research in the future. Helping this girl gain power had potential as an idea, though. There were all sorts of perks to being the puppet-master of a king. She smiled fondly as she thought back to her times in the Kingdom of Elvarion...

A genuine smile came to her face as she reminisced about her past, slipping through her facade.

Nero

"U..umu, i suppose you could call it that.."

Bewildered by the elf's sudden enthusiasm, the empress wobbled in her arms for a moment, before regaining her composure, letting the elf's enthusiam infect her as she whitnessed the expression she'd managed to bring to her face.

"It should rightfully be ours after all, umu! Should we meet resistance, i shall lead you all to victory! Ohhh!"

Giving a glance to her mob to affirm they were adressed as well, Nero could not help but think of a certain friend from life when the devious yet woundrous elf let her anticipation show. This would be fun, she could tell!

Eruraviel

Umu...? What does that mean... It seemed to express a positive feeling, at least.

Eru glanced at the crowd that Nero had created before bowing to Nero, taking a respectful knee. She couldn't help but notice the girl's proportions were perfect. "Please, allow me to serve you, My Empress. I know a thing or two about conquering realms. Plus you'll surely need a court wizard to help you out." She looked up hopefully, putting on an adorable heart rending facade. Ears and lower lip trembling as she prayed the girl would say yes.

[Bern]

Valerie

"Ah I see." Valerie nodded in understanding, it wasn't condescending but rather like she genuinely appreciated the knowledge she'd obtained. His choice to stack one slice a top another was... interesting. But not out of line with his previous behaviour, a bit of an excentric. She met his gaze steadily, still not blinking.

"The city, no this place itself. It is a world between worlds. A world with a will, an unfathomable will to attract things, be it people or objects from other places, other worlds. It is commonly known as the Nexus, the city itself shares that name as it is the largest settlement in this world."

She paused, not becuase she needed to breathe, a vampire like her had no such needs, but to make sure he would grasp it all. "Most of the beings inhabiting this world are mere humans, this does not mean the supernatural does not come in plenty, they come in all shapes and forms, from valiant heroes to deceitful vampires who ensnare people with fast food."

[Break]

Nero

"Umu, umu, of course! You are welcome! Together we shall bring the glory of Roma to this realm!"

Before the newly appointed court wizard could get up again, her liege arched forward, forming a perfect 90° angle with her bodacious buttocks, to bring her luscious, still slightly semen-crusted lips to the girl's long ear and whisper:

"I daresay you are cuter when you're honest, my lass. I look forward to seeing that expression again soon."

[SINIB]

Magnificent Tower

The only door is the one you entered by. It did in fact sound really confused for an automated guardian for a set of doors. Now it is time for you to leave. Final warning.

Sakura

"Come on, Please let us in! We're not going to steal anything or disturb anyone! We promise!"

[Kotomine_Rin]

Suerte

As the clone revealed itself to be Zeke, Suerte's eyes widened once more, though this time not as wide.  It was not that it was surprising.  No, it was more that she realized she had already completed her plan.  As darkness wrapped around his arm, several shots were fired from her gun right at the ground.   The bullets bounced off of the water and pierced his claw.  She continued her barrage, sending bullets all around the corridor.  Shot after shot would be fired, bouncing across the hall.  If nothing was done, a net of bullets would be created, endlessly pounding Zeke's body with those powerful shots.

BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM

Holes opened into Ezekiel's body, one after the other. His liver, loins, lungs, eye, brain, eardrums, throat. stomach, fingers, bones. The cage of death bounced with a dull echo, wasting no time to pound his body. The flames were the only thing propelling his corpse-like body, his grin a ghost of the once pleasant friendliness and now something more akin to a beast.

He did not stop.

He could not stop.


"Now... I'm getting MOTIVATED!" He wanted more, needed more. More of this, more of her, more of everything. This experience would nourish him more than any meal, and grant him the ability to grow even more. So much more. These metal projectiles would not stop him, the pan that burned his body could not keep him away. The bullets kept bouncing, preparing for a final assault, the most potent wave of ricochet that would end this. His flames intensified, the lightning arced into his mangled arm  as he readied a swing that would end this. Both were in each-other's range...

BOOM!!

And with a final swing, lightning danced and burst all around the sewer. The final boom of the bullets and the burst of heat and electricity signaled the beginning of the end, with such power that the walls around them cracked open and the water turned to steam, veiling the finale of this act like a curtain.

[yinsukin]

Suerte

Suerte found her head tilting back and her back arching as electricity surged through her body.  Even as she slowly fell to the floor, she continued to fire her gun, the hail of bullets intercepting his final strike.  Around her, a cloud of steam blasted the two, covering her body in a layer of sweat.  Air came in and out of her lunges, her chest expanding and deflating in tune with the passing seconds.

One of the bullets bouncing around the walls of the sewers intercepted his claw, piercing it.  Another few went through his arm, severing it.  The bullets and her luck prevented him from attacking her, but the electricity brought her to her knees.  If she didn't act soon, the bullet storm would end.  Well, not that it mattered.  This was a friendly bout, not a fight to the death.

"I... think we should call it even," she said, panting in the middle of her sentience.  Her cowboy hat fell into the water, the top partially soaked in the dirty stream. "At least for now.  If we keep going like this, one of us will die."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Ezekiel

A voice cut through the stream, barely drowned out by the explosive bullet shots. It was strange, whether it was a cry of anguish, agony or ecstasy was impossible to discern. Perhaps it was neither. Perhaps it was all of them. "Ahhh, the corporeal world really is fun~" More blood splattered on the ground, along with pieces of his organs. He was nothing but a shadow inside the steam, but soon the darkness bagan to swallow his wounds again, along with the steam. The blue vapors turned into a pitch black miasma, and the bullets began to rot along with the sewage and the walls. And limping out of the darkness with a bloodied smile, Ezekiel's naked mess of a body reformed right before her eyes.

"Not bad! I had been imprisoned for so long, I forgot just how good the sharpening of my claws could feel." He raised his arm and looked at the now perfectly recovered body with surprise. "Oh wow, this vessel really his something huh? I didn't think it'd be so durable."

Just what was the mystery behind this body? Amidst the remains of his dark magic, the seared floors and the dark vapors, his body looked mysteriously enchanting...

"So basically you are admitting defeat." He finally realized what she meant with an innocent expression, contrasting the prior carnage.

[yinsukin]

Suerte

"Admitting defeat?  No way in hell!" she said, rising to her feet.  "I just don't want to kill you over a stupid sparring match.  Besides..."

She pointed her hands to her top, which had become see through after dipping into the sewer water.  Not to mention her hat.  "You owe me some new clothes now.  How about you take me out for some shopping?"

[Kotomine_Rin]

Ezekiel

"Heh, you really are a nice girl." He grinned and closed his eyes, reforming some darkness clothes for himself. "And why would I do that? You look much better this way."

[yinsukin]

Suerte Martinez

Suerte gave him a stern frown, folding her arms over her generous chest, blocking it from view just to spite him.  "Well than you can forget a rematch!" she pouted, shooting his magic clothes a contemptuous glare.  It was as if the clothes themselves were making her jealous.  "Next time you see me, i'll just let you kill me and I won't fight back!"

[Kotomine_Rin]

Ezekiel

"Right. You're not a very good liar you know that?" He told her flatly, absolutely not enjoying teasing her like that. Suddenly, he noted what she was glaring at and glanced at his clothes. "I could make you some if you're interested. And don't mind helping a fellow friend."
