In Character Game Thread (Depricated)

[Elf]

Forest

Forest blinked as Ezekiel took her hand.  His thoughts were disjointed and throbbing, painful to behold.  His mind was like static, white noise that grated across her mind.  So she tuned him out, blocking the jumbled broadcast.

His hand was cool to the touch, curiously so.  Forest met his eerily empty black eyes and thought, So what are you?  He twirled her with all of the grace of an expert dancer.  Yet his smile was real as he asked her to dance.

She smiled as well, her indigo eyes twinkling and answered, "Ezekiel, I like it. So, yes, let's dance."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Ezekiel

Four wings slashed throough the air like razors before slamming the earth with intense force. On that moment, the duo was propelled upwards, soon overtaking buildings in their stride. "I suggest you hold on, lass. Erm, I mean, Forest." He looked down on her with a pleasant grin, if a little cheeky with his eyes shut.

They both spun around the night sky, shining under the stars and avoiding the many households and obstacles gracefully. They were starting to pick up speed, and soon altitude.

[Elf]

Forest

Forest felt her stomach rush up as they were lifted off the ground at staggering speed.  She tilted her face to the night air, feeling it whip her hair free of its braid.  She felt her smile grow as she held on Ezekiel with one arm and stretching her free arm out.

As they spun through the sky, going faster and faster, Forest could hear her laughter around them.  "Faster," she said with a smile, "Faster."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Ezekiel

"Hehe. This isn't so bad..." He mused to himself aloud, laughing along with his acquaintance. The city was lit up like a christmas tree, hundreds over hundreds of different lights illuminating it as they soared above.

He remembered flying like this, free...

Disgusting.

"You know, normal people would never understand something like this." He might just be talking to himself, yet as they flew and dashed across a skyscraper's tall frame vertically, he smiled. "They would rather everyone walk, even if it meant plucking a bird's wings." The wind and the cool breeze became nearly frigid, toa normal human this would be far from comfortable.

But this was his normal. The feeling of the wind made him feel alive. They accelerated further and further, to the point he had to hold her closer to keep her from falling or getting hurt.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Lugh

"I just did that." He didn't rip off her hand with a bite, she healed, and she tasted good. "Your... suitability got tested. With my teeth. So we had a date?" This seemed needlessly confusing. Although he supposed it wasn't so bad.

[Elf]

Forest

"You know, normal people would never understand something like this," Ezekiel said as they flew higher and faster.  His arms tightened around Forest and she felt herself freeze for a moment.  Ice coiled up in her guts as she moved to push him away.

"They would rather everyone walk, even if it meant plucking a bird's wings." His words brought her back into the moment as did the feeling of getting farther and farther from earth as cold air whipped at her hair and face.

She replied, "People might surprise you.  Humans have wanted to fly since pretty much the beginning.  Icarus.  da Vinci. Countless others apparently had the need for speed until the Wright brothers did something amazing.  Not as freeing as this, but I'm pretty sure there are scads of others who would get a thrill at this."

[Bern]

Valerie

"Your voice need not be lowered so Lord Yusho. It is true that I have not dealt with this company directly, my tenure ended well before they were founded. If you are curious about more in depth details of themn You would have to ask my successor.

He was probably feeling unformfortable goign by his posture. With that in mind she pulled him aside, and led him down again. There wasn't really much to take in off the city from that heigth, and he looked like he had his fill. Once outside, the fresh air hit them with the caring embrace of nature, she'd never like modern building too much.

She had felt it building ever since they left the castle, a craving. A craving for blood, but not just any blood, his blood in particular. Which is why she turned to him, the vampire king turned to him in order to make a request.

"May I be so bold as to ask for your services at a later date...... It.... It was unlike anything I have experienced in a long time." She asked him hopefully. Feeding hadn't been thrilling experience for decades, perhaps centuries, and part of that hope, that desperation and longing seeped through the cracks.

[SINIB]

Liseth

The voice that came from the device was rather raspy. Like a chain smoker who was just a few steps away from getting a hole punched in his throat to let him breath. "My apologies, your Majesty. Normally I would not be so rude but there is vital information that has come to my attention that only you have the strength to pursue. The parasite within Yodth has grown beyond any hope of stopping it at this point. Its ruler has been left with the choice of expansion or death, and it will choose expansion."

"You are the only one amongst the Chiefs with the righteousness to cut to its heart."

Ivanna

"Hm hm." She mumbled softly, not responding any other way for quite some time as she pondered the person's voice. "Most people would choose to seek an audience with me in person to discuss such a delacate task." She crossed her legs.

"What can you offer me, and why should I listen to you?" She was trying to figure out which chief was trying to use her. She knew Yodth had many enemies, and was ripe for invasion, but such a task would be delecate.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Liseth

"That would usually be the case. Normally we are very respectful for the usage of protocol, but urgency dictated a quick response and my superior... is currently lacking a body that she can communicate with. We are making do as is." The raspy voice was calm and clinical as well, every syllable carefully sounded out as if a mistake could cost him his life. "We understand your suspicion, so we promise you this. All that we desire is to be a notable voice to your ears. Within the shadow of your rule our people have been allowed to flourish. For it to spread would only help us."

"And even if you believe we hold ulterior motives the threat is to great to ignore. In every district there are laws against beings who propagate uncontrollably. The ruler of Yodth has hidden this by growing downwards, carving out a new kingdom beneath its lands. This will not last forever."

[YOLF]

Yusho

"Perhaps I will," he remarked, allowing himself to be led out. A breath of fresh air - though it was more rancid than the wind that whipped at his face in villages like his hometown - cleared his ideas to some degree. The application of power and justice here were no less his business than anywhere else, fabled Prince of the Earth or not.

To that end, he'd likely have to count on others, and to lend an ear to them. Yusho leaned over, carefully listening and looking over Valerie as she turned to his attention.

Something in her demeanor, high-handed and sharpened so far, seemed to vacilate slightly with the request. It felt like a wary choice of words coming from one the former monk should have been wary of, and the weight of those things equalled out in his mind. It's not that it was endearing, but it brought some tranquility to know that perhaps his first ally in this place so far could falter relatably.

"I don't mind offering, scandalous moods aside," Yusho retorted, with a passing smile. "With the condition you'll look out for me in turn, your highness."

[SINIB]

Tsumiko

Tsumiko beamed at Thea and sat down onto the floor. "Yes, exactly! I hope you'll help me protect the Nexus. It's a very dear place to me."

Thea

Well, since this was no subject to lord her authority over all Thea could do to be polite was to join her down there on the floor. It was clean enough anyway for that. "Of course I will. Power is meant to be used, not selfishly hoarded." It was also meant to stay in the hands of the worthy so they could use it properly, but Tsumiko was obviously qualified so far. "And you know this place better than I do."

Tsumiko

She didn't really get what Thea was saying about power not being meant to hoarded, simply taking a sip of tea and nodding repeatedly at her. "Mmm, I could show you around. I don't think anyone knows the area better than me. Maybe that masked man that I hear about." She scratched her arm, which suddenly began to itch a bit.

[SINIB]

Liseth

Normally we are very respectful for the usage of protocol, but urgency dictated a quick response and my superior... is currently lacking a body that she can communicate with. We are making do as is."

Ivanna

"Hmm..." she muttered as she scratched her chin. "Perhaps, but you must know that there's no way I'd agree to that without solid proof you're a valuable ally."

[Aiden]

Lugh

"I just did that." He didn't rip off her hand with a bite, she healed, and she tasted good. "Your... suitability got tested. With my teeth. So we had a date?" This seemed needlessly confusing. Although he supposed it wasn't so bad.

Dahlia

"Maybe on your end," She conceded with a bit of a smirk on her face now. "I'm still deciding. Keep it up though - you're getting warmer."

The bounty hunter on the other hand... well okay that wasn't quite fair. She was just a little frustrated with losing that fight in the alley earlier, that's all. Dahlia would get over that, she knew enough about herself to think that. It would help if she could just get those boots though.

Speaking of which... "How about these ones?" They looked a little more sturdy, but importantly they had the heels she wanted still.

[Panda]

Charlotte

"Well that was pretty fast, wolfy," the gunslinger chuckled, "Usually this sorta thing takes a bit longer."

"As for the heels, those would look good on ya," Charlotte noted, crossing her arms under her chest, "Assumin' they survive the stress test."

Well, things were certainly getting interesting if she was considering the werewolf. Not that she had any room to judge, anyway.

[Aiden]

Tsumiko

She didn't really get what Thea was saying about power not being meant to hoarded, simply taking a sip of tea and nodding repeatedly at her. "Mmm, I could show you around. I don't think anyone knows the area better than me. Maybe that masked man that I hear about." She scratched her arm, which suddenly began to itch a bit.

Thea

"Masked man...? No, I suppose that is irrelevant," she dismissed the thought with a wave of her hand. The other brought the cup to her mouth so she could sip more of the tea. So good. "I would appreciate spending that time with you."

Did that come out right? Hmm. Well, Thea wasn't bothered by the possible implications of her words either way.
