"Oh, them? I ran into such, they sounded like a bunch of weirdos to me. Guys obsessed about vampires, okamas and what not. Don't you ever copy them, get it?" Her face frowned as she remembered about any abnormal werewolf she ran into. Especially some those so flamboyant that she wouldn't be surprised if they were guys into touching little boys. Ew.

"See, there are bunch of guys like you from the place I come from. Though they ain't gaijin like you. Ya sure yer Ma or Pa ain't from Ezo?" She didn't buy completely his words that he was a native to place like here. Maybe a werewolf fucked someone of his ancestors.

"Eh, whatever, let's get to it. I heard that you guys are born to hunt spirits and stuff like that. Ya know, it's like the prey breed like rabbits if there ain't other critters to hunt them. So, have you been hunting anything? It's no good if a werewolf doesn't hunt anything, it's like pretending to be something you're not if you don't do."

Kuro

Her plan worked and blondie was distracted by her blades just as she predicted, the second part of it was getting to blondie's side with the blonde's back to her side, it was time to perform part three. Kuro hadn't forgotten that this wasn't that the blonde's true form and that she had the tail hidden somewhere, invisible but most likely not immaterial. The white haired girl smirked as she was about to succeed. Blondie was most likely going to try and hit her with the tail and she was counting on that. 

She dropped one of the blades, the one in the hand that was facing the blonde's back. She then raised said arm as a wall of swords appeared in a flash in front of it, in the direction that the tail had to be in. She didn't count on it holding, these blades weren't the most durable after all, but she only needed a second. In that second she'd strike the blondie with the the blade she still held in her other hand.

"I see the beast's ears have not yet lost their luster."  He said, maintaining his pretentious grin.  "And you are not too far off.  I have not yet acquired the tools to capture you yet.  However, I am very curious about that new face of yours.  There was something residing within your soul when we fought before.  I wonder if this is its manifestation?"  He wondered aloud.  His voice carried a half serious, half joking tone.

[Aiden]

Ron

"You didn't meet any pink ones, did you?" he asked with some trepidation, the memory of the thing that he and Annabeth had to fight back when they first met intruding on his thoughts. "And I'm not sure what this 'Ezo' place is." Some kind of world where his particular kind of werewolf comes from? Could be.

Hunting things. Like spirits? Well, he had seen something that looked like ghosts a few times before, but he wasn't particularly interested in going after them. Hunting other things...

"Just some miscreants, ya know? People who like to cause trouble. The occasional rabid dog."

[Kat]

Rikuyo

"Nah, I haven't meet a pink one, but there was even a purple one. Was unsure if it wasn't poisonous, but it didn't taste bad. And ya already figured it out. Your spirit shouldn't starve if you keep eating people, but have you eaten a werewolf? That's the real stuff, it's like a good beef when compared to a cheap pork." Rikuyo grinned, describing how werewolves tasted to her. "There are plenty people going around, but anyone can pick off one of them and eat. You've got to work hard to catch a werewolf, ya know!"

[Aiden]

Ron

The werewolf wasn't sure if he should relax because this girl had admitted she ate werewolves like he did, or attack her because she ate werewolves like he did. Because he was a werewolf, after all, so he was on the menu. Still, it left him with a question: "Did they taste like grape at all?"

Because pink was one thing and as far as he could remember that maniac hadn't tasted like pink lemonade. He was still delicious, mind you, but it was disappointing in a way. Ron nodded, slowly, to answer his challenger's question. "He was pink."

His stomach growled, and he couldn't help but duck his head a bit.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Sakagami Kenzo

"It's just a mask..." He replied in confusion, kinda weirded out by that masked jerk. He did not like him and all, and  he honestly felt an itch to tear his liver out and rip it to shreds, but he just did not have it in him. After all, did he really have the room to judge now?

Of course, that didn't mean he liked him, but he figured that he had more important things to take care of. Besides...

"I don't think you are aware of what you are playing with. It would be in your best interest to tread lightly, sir." He warned him, not in the room for any jokes, especially made by him.

[Panda]

Seras

The vampire cocked an eyebrow before remembering that she'd dressed rather lightly for winter. Granted, it was something that didn't particularly matter, but it would seem odd to the average human. At least, he smelled human enough, albeit a little...baked?

"I suppose so," Seras admitted, "Perhaps we ought to head somewhere warmer, then. If you need a drink, there ought to be a decent bar a bit down the road. I've got nothing better to do."

[yinsukin]

Relius Clover

His soul.  It is colored by doubt.

"Sir?  Can you really address me so formally after we met last time?"  He said in a pompous teasing voice.  "You would be surprised how much a man and beast can get to know each other from sharing the thrill of battle.  However, I must say, we have more in common then either of us would like to admit.  Perhaps I should compare you more to a newborn child. "

He paused for a moment and put his hand to his chin.  After thinking to himself, he spoke once more.  "Although, perhaps you are more comparable to a parrot.  Your not human are you?" He asked slowly, his voice weighted with seriousness.  He spoke as if the answer means reaching an ultimatum.

[Kat]

Mordred

Damnit, she needed to get out somehow out of this mess. Her tail would be trapped by those blades, leaving her stuck and open to Kuro's attack. But she only had that one blade and even if she could materialize more, that Contract could still provide enough distraction, hopefully, to get out her of the messy situation. The Contract would heat the blade and made it unbearable for her to hold, giving precious seconds for the changeling to free up herself. Focusing her power, she used her power and the air around the blade became scorching hot, hopefully enough to burn the white head's hand and interrupt the attack.

[Kat]

Rikuyo

"Why, they're meat, not a fruit." What a silly question, but after all he was a foreigner. They all wielded magic or were weirdoes in one way or another. "Ah, so ya ate one of them as well. Good, ya look like new to this, but you're picking up things quickly on your own. But ya know, there is more to yer people than shapeshifting, werewolves can pick up spiritual powers from spirits or learn them in another way. I can't teach you any, but it would be great if you knew something. It would be fun to spar with ya."

Riku then noticed that Ron's stomach was growling audibly. "What, you're hungry? That's no good, you can't fight well on empty stomach." She shook her head. "Ya need a fix or somethin'?"

[Aiden]

Ron

"Not on power. I can make more of that myself now," he said, with no intention of explaining how. "But... I haven't eaten since breakfast."

He scratched the back of his head sheepishly, shrugging his shoulders. This girl was pretty strange; she didn't seem to understand a lot of basic social cues and notions. But hey, there'd been weirder things to come through Nexus before. Not a big deal really. "So, yeah, if it's a fight you want we might want to wait on that."

[Thedoctor]

Jin=Kisaragi

The hero grimaced as the maniac stepped on the girl's head intending to crush her, the situation was urgent but he honestly felt there was a misunderstanding he had to clear up first, yes, this took precedence even over JUSTICE. Such a travesty couldn't be allowed happen, not even to a mortal foe.

"You are mistaken, I wasn't trying to use such an underhanded tactic. No. I was trying to help you, to allow a mouth to be marred by something so hideous is something I cannot allow. How could this have happened? How can one fall so low? I truly need to cleanse your sins."

With that the Hero pointed his hand at the lowly scum, and then....and then..... An icicle started slowly making it's way lazily across the room towards the man with the fake fangs. It almost looked like it was made by Koreans.


Kuro

Yes. Her plan worked flawlessly...except it didn't. The white haired girl hissed as the blade in her hand got hot, really hot, hot enough to burn her flesh. The girl clenched her teeth, she refused, she refused to let go now, not when she was so close.

Through an immense effort she maintained her grip and the hand moved again, with teary eyes she kept moving inteding to strike blondie down once and for all.

[Panda]

Dante

The half-demon continued with his sundae, cocking an eyebrow as the cute raven-haired girl ordered one as well. While the company was welcome, that left her friend drinking by herself, waiting for him. It was a difficult decision for the demon hunter, but one can only savor a Strawberry Sundae for so long. Or perhaps he was feeling a pick peckish. Either way, the sundae was soon finished, Dante's spoon clinking against the empty glass as he slid it forward.

Sliding out of his seat at the bar with one last glance at the two ladies enjoying their sundaes, the half-demon moved over next to Petra, taking look at the bottle curiously.

"Hm, looks pretty strong for wine," Dante noted with a grin, "This should be fun. So what are the stakes?"

[Kat]

Rikuyo

"Oh, is that so? Why don't ya go huntin'? It shouldn't be problem for ya to find yer prey. There should be a lot of people looking for trouble, ya know. So, how do ya feel about doing together? Wolves don't hunt alone, and we can just share. I mean, I'm not a wolf now, but I can become a half wolf like you folks, and half-almost-anything. The moon goddess blessed ya many forms, but I have even more, it's just I can't go all through like you folks into that bigass warforms of yours." She shrugged. She didn't envy werewolves, but kept asking herself why she was such an unusual shapeshifter. Being a werewolf wouldn't change anything about her way of life.

"So, interested? It's been a while since I had fun hunting together with someone." She grinned at Ron, trying to rope him into doing clearly reckless stuff.
