Shinobu

It looked like the younger vampire calmed down, ah so she did learn how to compose herself, that's good. The tounge cliding over her lip hinted at something else however, that was certainly interesting. But she would wait to see how that would play out.

"I suppose you are correct about that. We have stayed in this place long enough, I doubt you would want to have the people come and complain. So where would you like to eat.?"

Neptune

She catched a glimpse of this incredibly tall man checking her out when she made her proud anouncement. It wasn't something she really minded after how nice he'd been, so she pretended not to notice. There was something far more important coming up, and that was pizza!

"Ahhhh...."

With a loud gulp she dug in on the delicous treat that was offered to her. It was unbelievable, gone was the cute innocent girl who had fallen from the sky. In her place was a demon. A demon intent on devouring all....of the pizza. So great was her frenzy that the slice of pizza seemed to magically disappear, not that she would let that stop her. Her mouth continued ever onwards, engulfing the man's fingers as she begun sucking away the faint traces of pizza sauce on them.

Gadreel

His fingers soon left her lips, and went down to retrieve another slice of pizza for her. "You must have missed lunch before falling through that stray portal, young Neptune. Perhaps that is why you fell onto me, of all people and places you could have ended up?"

It was a tremendous coincidence otherwise. Then again, his own arrival here had seemed to be pure chance, or else the Creator had a strange sense of humor. The latter wouldn't surprise him at this point.

Medaka Kurokami

Medaka pulled away from Shinobu, walking away in order to guide them to their new destination.  Her hips swayed with a strange confidence as she strutted forward and she couldn't stop smiling, even if the intensity of the smile dimmed considerably. "Hmm.  I think any place will fit my preferences, so long as there is plenty of food to eat," she commented casually.

Neptune 

Mhm...you see....I was...playing games so long.....I kinda forgot to...but I was totally about to win, if Histy hadn't chased me out. Then I flew and ended up here" The purple head responded in between each bite of the pizza obviously enjoying it considering her absolutely satisfied expression.

"Hey Mr. Gadreel, why do you keep calling me young Neptune. Just because I'm overflowing with youthful awesomeness doesn't mean I'm that  young ." The question broke the cheerful mood she had been in for the past while as she now seemed almost uncharacteristically serious if you could say that.

Gadreel

Well, it couldn't hurt to be honest with her. She was clearly familiar with the supernatural if this did not bother her. "Games, you say? What sort of games would take up so much of your attention?" Gadreel was genuinely curious; the humans kept coming up with such interesting diversions for their attention.

Had he offended her in some way? It was not implausible. "Well, I am rather older than I appear. But please forgive me for assuming, Neptune."

Rider

Rider smiled and nodded at Ron's story as she continued to savour her food, knowing from personal experience that it was entirely possible for multiple versions of the same person to appear in the Nexus. However, before she could follow up on that thread of conversation, she noticed her master suddenly twitch at the way Ron had talked about his girlfriend. Rider could tell that she was suspicious as she followed-up on that point, clearly wary of the hesitant way he'd described her. Was something wrong with her, perhaps?

However, when Rider heard his description, any worry she might have had disappeared, to be replaced with slight amusement. From the way he had described it, it sounded like she was taking their relationship far more seriously than he was. And, most likely, given the place they were living in, she was strong enough to make his life a misery if he just dumped her, so he felt stuck.

Given that, whilst Sakura's advice seemed reasonable, Rider felt caution was necessary.

I wonder if he's frightened of upsetting her if he does that, she said over their mental link. Perhaps she's stronger than he is.

However, she felt no need to speak up to Ron just yet, instead waiting for him to respond.

Michael

The immortal allowed a frown at the emptiness of the broadcast room, taking a moment to look the room over. Aside from the broadcast equipment and a couple desks, the room was quite empty.

Wait, were those guys upstairs the leaders? Pantheon's sake, that was a disappointment.

The sound of gunfire echoed in faintly, a chaingun of some sort from the sound. Before Michael could wonder just what kind of hardware these gangers had at their disposal, footsteps sounded in from above and a familiar shape fell down right front of him, inches from his face as it passed by, striking the floor beneath with a metallic thunk.

Huh.

The immortal barely enough time to turn away and start to cover his head when the flashbang went off with a blinding flash and deafening bang. While Michael had avoided the worst of it, hearing and sight would definitely not be senses he could rely on for the moment. Touch, however, was as reliable as ever, Michael quickly moving back, knocking over one of the desks and taking cover behind it, enhancing it in preparation for the follow-up. As expected, the vibrations from the impact of another few grenades registered soon after.

Though the sound of the grenades going off seemed distant, the shrapnel bouncing against the enhanced desk was perfectly clear. Judging by what he could feel at this point, it seemed that they were coming in to finish the job. Sight would be slow to recover, but hearing would be adequate soon enough.

Well, not that I need it.

To their credit, coming in from above would have been the right move under normal circumstances. Even if their target had survived the grenades, they'd be blind, deaf, disoriented, and heavily injured, so having to go in one at a time through hole in the floor wouldn't have been a problem. Under normal circumstances.

Of course, a reward was in order for their more measured approach, and Michael was all too happy to oblige. Allowing a smirk, the immortal waited a moment longer before exploding from his cover, sending the table flying into him with enough to slam him back against the wall, leaving a trail of blood as he slid down to the ground. Deciding that this pace was a bit too slow for him, Michael leapt back up through the hole he'd made with an almost feral grin on his face as he looked down at them, his momentum carrying him to the ceiling before he turned and kicked off it, launching himself into the nearest of them.

By the time he was finished, his hearing had mostly come back to him and sight was passable at least, though he was sure he'd be hearing that annoying ringing for a while longer. It was at this point, however, that he noticed another sound, this one far less morbid than the sound of someone trying to draw breath through a collapsed windpipe.

Music?

Glancing back down the hole, Michael saw that the grenades had done horrible things to the broadcast equipment, but it seemed to be functioning nonetheless, and apparently broadcasting something from the nearest radio station. The cracked and flickering display indicated that the song was apparently called 'Shoot to Thrill'.

...Not the weirdest, but definitely up there.

Allowing a shrug, the immortal decided to wait for the moment as the music echoed throughout the prison, blaring on every functioning speaker.

Retro-Active Forest

Forest followed Liam down the hall.  Something about this felt off with her; she didn't like it and it wasn't the apathy she'd been feeling of late.  She watched the . . . Morally ambiguous wasn't the word.  Hawk was morally ambiguous, but he would have grimaced at the display her little Jedi Mind Trick caused.

Liam shrugged it off and used it as an opportunity. 

So morally opportunistic was probably a better term, and one that Fore wasn't comfortable with. 

She grimaced at the body in the gutter, and the not-so-pleasant smell that it was emitting.  "Now that's sanitary," she whispered as Liam "opened" the door with some supernatural force.   She cracked her knuckles as she let Liam take the lead.


Gabriel

Gabriel blinked as Annabeth patted him.  Then he smiled and leaned into the caress, closing his eyes.  He leaned into the contact like an affectionate cat.


Rin

The magus nodded and said, "Yeah!  He almost set our boat on fire.  We tried to help him at first, I mean, just because he's undead it doesn't mean he's a bad guy but . . ."

Rin gestured to the pile of bones and blinked when the kid said, "Aye, aye!"

Za choppah

Bullets hailed on the prison like it was swiss cheese. Somehow, as if he could see its target behind the walls, the shot kept following her through windows and gaps, even making the walls crumble under their relentless assault. The war machine would never stop until its targets were annihilated.

After a while, flames flickered and a salvo of rockets shot down the prison. Explosions boomed one after the other, and in an instant the Apache helicopter unleashed its incendiary calamity, leaving nothing but waves of inferno in the bombs wake.

Almost miraculously, the communication room seemed untouched by the missile bombing.




Vanguard

The battle raged on, miraculously the beastly warrior parted the waves of metal with his weapon, ripping through the rain of bullets and striking each of his enemies down with swift dance-like motions. Air, stone and the bodies of the soldiers shattered and flung away into the walls, leaving nothing but cracks of electricity in their wake.

He could feel the trembling from above, and a shaking boom suddenly made his eyes narrow. Damn fools, if this carried on any further, there would be nothing to take but a pile of rubble. Suddenly, the earthquake came rumbling from below. Wary, his eyes darted to the fires surging from the end of the underground passage. His hand weaved in a swift motion like lightning, and a brilliant light intercepted and gripped at the massive projectile.

The earth gave in and sundered under the concussive force, but the pillar of war did not as much as flinch as he cleaved the tank's pellet in half with his weapon, leaving an explosion behind him. The pole arm danced within the flames and pointed at its enemy, bearing no mercy for it.

Was it speed and reflex? Nay, such things would not have helped against such a powerful attack. It was something more, it was skill and experienced engraved in a body of might. He did not merely catch it, he predicted it.

The Panzer's guns flared, trying to mince through the single foe, but he catapulted the bodies of the fallen foes in the bullets wake with his axe and vanished. With a single boom, the hallway was torn to pieces while racing steps carved it beyond recognition, and in an instant the vanguard was above the massive weapon. It was his skill that enabled him to choose the correct path, the only path leading to sure victory.

In an instant, as if time itself stopped, his body was overflowing with power, and a well placed blow of his weapon cleaved the tank as cleanly as if it was butter. Thunder coursed through the entire vehicle, and he leapt out once again, leaving the tank behind as it fell apart under the flames and rubble. What a shame.

With calm, quiet steps he walked towards the elevator door. It was most likely nonoperational, but he didn't care. He calmly opened the gates as if it was a dull chore and ripped the elevator's hull, taking note of the surrounding flames before climbing up the rope.

Annabeth

Annabeth cocked an eyebrow as Gabriel leaned into her touch, unable to help a chuckle in spite of herself.

"Seems like you take care of yourself, at least," the Hunter remarked, her words drifting together as her surroundings floated with that pleasant buzz. Oddly, she wasn't sure if she couldn't remove her hand or if she didn't want to, but it remained.

Gabriel

Gabriel smiled at Annabeth's words and the signals he was clearly reading from her.  He smiled and said, "I'm decent at taking care of myself, but I can be very attentive of others too."

Sakura Matou

"Mhmm, I see." Sakura said, putting her fork down on her empty plate. "That sounds rough. If you're not comfortable living together, it might be good for one of you to move out, couples need their space." Sakura suggested. She could tell there was more to it, but he hadn't lied. He was just telling only part of the truth, she guessed.

Ron

"Or at least a bigger place." Ron said in agreement, still wincing at the thought. Actually suggesting separating in that sense, he didn't know how Anne would take it. She could just as easily shrug and be happy for the closet and cabinet space all to herself, or start wondering if he was gonna break up with her and start itching to her gun. "Studio apartments are not great for couples."

Definitely not a conversation to have while she's drinking, either.

Annabeth

The cowgirl's face was already flushed from her inebriation, but his response certainly didn't help matters.

"Sounds nice for dealing with your clients," the Hunter noted, trying to regain at least a little bit of the momentum, "Don't suppose you're just talking about them, though."

"Not just my clients.  It makes me quite nice to deal with in other aspects," Gabriel said before toying with a lock of her fair hair.
