Seras
Seras was suddenly very glad she'd stayed up on the rooftop as a massive explosion ravaged the group. Now there were only two survivors, both of them likely heavily injured.
Leaping off the building, Seras let herself drop, wings forming on her back as she went into a steep dive towards the group, a red streak zipping chaotically towards them. More tendrils of shadow reached out for the two survivors, arranged so that the sudden jerk wouldn't kill them.
Adjutor
Golden light...hmm...Could it be?
"Thank you for the warning," Adjutor says, "But I've got a few things to attend to before I can even think about investigating that. Thank you, Urzara, and goodbye."
With that, the teen looks around for a rooftop access of some sort for a moment before finding one and making his way towards it.
Do the others remember where that screaming was from? I've got an approximate location on that flash, but it'll help to have something else to go off of.
Wow we've got a lot of stuff we need to get to. There's that albino chick who ran us over and then tried to take us back to her place, we've got Creation itself screaming at us from that place over there, we still don't have clothes...did I miss anything?
...No, not really. I suppose we can drop by Forest's place again and get a new set of clothes...
Or take some from a clothing shop...
Unnecessary.
We also don't have time to waste right now, and I highly doubt we'll be harming their profit margins by any significant amount.
...I hate you right now, you know that?
That's what you always say.
...
Fine, we'll go back.
Making this way into the the stairwell that would lead him back downstairs from the roof, Adjutor made sure he was out of sight before slipping into the shadows. Calling Tyrfing to himself, what arrived was not the Elemental itself but rather its shadow, yet another platform for Adjutor to use within the Shadow. Stepping onto it, Tyrfing sped off towards Forest's compound once more. Then an idea struck Adjutor.
"Hang on, I need a moment to talk to the others."
Actually talking to the Elemental was unnecessary, but the words were gone from his mouth before he remembered this. With that, Tyrfing made its way near the shadows on an empty roof top, Adjutor stepping off and slipping out soon afterwards.
Rahab, Laivatain. Gather more of yourselves, if you would.
Eh, don't see why not.
Unlike you, I've been doing so for the past while.
Hey, I've been busy!
If you insist.
Shaking his head with a bemused smile, Adjutor slips back into Tyrfing's shadow once again, making his way to the Compound, where some careful navigation brings the teen right where he wants to be. Slipping out of the shadows in front of that closet Forest brought him to last night, Adjutor opens it up and quickly picks out another copy of the simple hoodie and pants set from earlier.
Realizing now just how much he'd taken clothing for granted, Adjutor takes a moment to revel in the light warmth of the fabric against his skin. The moment soon passes, however, and the teen makes his way to the room he was allotted. Looking around for a moment, Adjutor picks up his journal and opens it up to find that apparently some new pages have appeared in the spell/equipment section and in the actual journal itself.
Ignoring this for now, Adjutor flips to a map of what he's explored of the Nexus thus far. The enchantments soon go into effect, new desings showing up to reflect new areas he's explored and any changes in areas he's already been to. He didn't even need to turn the pages to the spell book to know that the magic he learned from Ur and those glyphs he got from Elyssa are already being stored there. Finally, the last thing to show up was the approximate location of that flash, relative to his vantage point when he saw it. As the Elementals' own approximations showed up, the circle representing the general area where the flash had been seen grew smaller until Adjutor was left with a three block-radius zone to explore.
"Not bad," the teen remarked, "Not bad at all..."
