[Mesume the Blood Ninja]

((just waiting on meridon then I will post))

[Meridon Amaranth]

Amaranth looked at the man with the feather. She quirked an eyebrow and felt her lips curve upwards in a half smile. She turned her eyes back on the man who had splattered acid on the wall. Neat, she thought as she tried to figure out what kind of artifact that was. She ran her tongue over lips and looked to the place where the book used to be sitting. She had come illprepared for a battle. Nothing but a hunting knife and pepper spray.

Of course, that was because she had no true intention of fighting. If push came to shove, there was a enough mice and rats around to cause some damage if her knife didn't do the work. She ran her index finger of the pendant again. There were several cats and stray dogs too.

"I was curious, can't blame me for that. I mean, there was just this massive hole in the wall and I couldn't resist," she was good at lying. Not the best, but better then most. She wasn't going to let either of them that yes, she was infact stalking the guy with the acid artifact. "I heard voices and well, here I am." She looked at the case again. "And I stumbled across a robbery. How interesting!" She clapped her hands together in mock delight and the four mice that sat on her shoulder flinched at the noise.

She glanced at them, and frowned. "I forgot about you," she drawled and told them to go and wait else where's. Of course they obeyed. She watched the little figures scurry out of the hole in the wall.

[Euripides The Exalted]

Julian let out a small grunt; there was something not right abou tthe small girl that stood there. He feared for her safety, both from the strange man, and from him. Just get a good swing in. If she flies, she flies. the Roc said, trying not to chuckle. Stop it Roc! You know we cant let her get hurt because of us! Julian snapped back at the Roc. Julian paused for a moment, then instead of swinging the feather, he instead punched through one of the steel doors behind him, and pulled his fist back out, ripping a rather large chunk of the steel with it. He grabbed the steel chunk with his good hand, drew back, and threw it with amazing strength and speed towards the robber, the steel flying like a deadly frisbee.

[Mesume the Blood Ninja]

Yokai pulled his cloak over his arms and put both arms up to block the steel. The steel frisbee hit his arms, leaving a bruise, but did not even cut the cloak. "Hmmm, Lets see this one can speak to Animals, but I don't see any Artifact, A minor ability, get them my pets." With this Yokai raised his muffin to the air, and spiders began flowing into the room from every crack and corner. There was not enough acid on the wall behind him to make a hole, but it was weakened. Amongst the spiders there was a large combination of spiders, poisonous, big, small, colorful. If you bit by any it would be near impossible to know if you were poisoned of not. ((These are not normal spiders, they are spiders summoned by the power of the Muffin, they have no real minds. they are like summoned creatures from games, when killed they would die and then fade away)) As the spiders attacked Yokai began writing in the book again.

[Meridon Amaranth]

Of all the things that could be summoned, his artifact had to be spiders. She squeezed her eyes shut and bite her bottom lip. She hated spiders. She shivered and grabbed hold of the pendant. Her panic was enough. Mice, rats, pigeons, anything that was close enough to feel her fear came running. They spiders were deadly and she knew it. She didn't want her animals to die, God know, but what else was she going to do. She didn't watch as the floor around burst into a battle field of spiders and rodents. She knew well enough when one animal died.

"Not one for talking," she muttered trying her best to keep her fear out of her voice. She slipped her hunting out of the hidden hilt on her thigh and grasped the handle loosely. She took a deep breath and glanced at the floor. The rodents were doing their job and keeping them away, however there were no bodies. She watched a rat bite a fair sized black spider and was shocked that the thing faded away leaving nothing behind.

"My poor little ones," she cooed as she noted the bodies of the dead. The cats and dogs had arrived by then, but before they could join the battle she forced them away. They wouldn't be as effective as rodents or birds. When she finally looked back up, her eyes were cold and fairly empty. Little emotion showed in their violet depths. She tossed the knife for a moment and caught it again in her other hand. Could she whip it at him? Or would he just dodge? It was her only weapon, but she could get a pigeon to retrieve it if it missed. No, she decided. Throwing the weapon wouldn't be smart. Then, she felt something tickle her leg and she knew, almost instantly that she was about to get bitten. The pain nearly made her double over, but she squashed the spider. It had been a brown one. She had no idea if it was poisonous.

She glared at the remanents on her leg, but the pain was only dull now. She could only hope...

[Euripides The Exalted]

Julian was very suprised when the man seemingly deflected the disk, but it did not phase Julian. When spideres started to pour out of everywhere though, Julian was slightly taken back. Shall we? the Roc said. Julian gripped the feather with both hands, raising it above his head. "We shall." Julian said outlous, then brought the feather towrds the ground as hard as he could. Suddenly, the room was full of wind. The gale started flinging everything in every direction, except at Julian. countless spiders were either smashed against the wall, or smashed by flying debree. Julian raised the great feather above his head one again, preparing to unleash another gale is he needed to.

[Mesume the Blood Ninja]

"Just as I hoped..." Yokai held onto his cloak and used it like a sail as he flew through the weakened wall and used the wind to fly him away from the scene. Yokai got the book and had escaped. However once he left the museum, all the spiders disappeared. Using the cloak as a parachute he landed on a rooftop a block away and escaped into the darkness. "I got my prize, this part of my plan is complete..." ((gtg, I will write up the update tommarrow))

[Euripides The Exalted]

((Alright, I am getting ready to pass out too. Night.))

When Julian watched the man fly out through the back wall because of the wind that he had made, Julian slammed his fist against the wall next to him, almost completely obliterating it. "Damn it!" he cursed, the feather beginning to shrink. When the feather was to its hiding size; the size of a dove feather, Julian slowly walked over to the other girl. "Are you alright?" Julian said to the girl, noticing the large bite marks on the girl's leg.

((I hate to freeze you like this, but I must sleep.))

[Meridon Amaranth]

Amaranth hit the wall, hard. She slid to the ground and rodent bodies tumbled around her. She knew most of them were dead. She stayed where she had fallen, her head ringing and the spider bite burning. She coughed a little, blood dribbling out of her mouth. "That's probably bad," she murmured and whiped her mouth on her arm, leaving a red smear. Very carefully she touched the back of her head. Of course there was a bump there already, and blood. Artifacts come before friends. She told herself, blaming this pain on her lateness.

Of course, the physical pain had nothing on the pain she felt inside now that so many animals had fallen because of her. She was surronded by fur and feathers... And little limp bodies. She turned her teary eyes on the body of the mouse who had lead her there. Sure, the mice looked the same to everyone else but..

The mouses leg twitched and Amaranth gasped. She picked up the mouse and touched her pendant. He was still alive! She pressed the little body to her cheek and looked at the man with the feather. "I'm fine," she nearly hissed. He had seen her bite mark. She couldn't help, she opened her mouth and growled; "You did more damage then those spiders." And helped him get away. She immediatly felt bad, but she glanced at the dead animals and her anger heated up again. "What's your name?" Her voice still held the menacing tone.

[[Okey, Night to both of you. ]]

[Mesume the Blood Ninja]

((ok actually before I go I need to make this clear, Julian your character is a normal human being, he doesn't have a bloodline, and what 16 year old can punch a wall down? I let the metal one go because it was weakened by the acid, but seriously dude, tone that down. You may have the feather of Roc, but it never said anything about uping your strength man. ))

/ Rizer Crude / & *~Waver Velvet~*

Two souls

One Body

Kickin’ yer a**

He didn’t want to do this, he HATED doing stuff like this. Yet all the time he found himself dragged into more and more dangerous situations, as if fate itself had taken a grudge against him living and decided that the world and all of existence had seen enough of Rizer Crude. This was all so scary too, the fighting the artifacts, the people, all of it was freaky and unreal. Granted he himself was freaky and unreal but at least he had a sense of normality about him! Right from the clean cut suit he wore to the inexpensive glasses framed on his nose, normal! What did he want in life? To become a salaryman, marry an ordinary looking woman, have ordinary looking kids, live in the natural family structure and die in boring old peace. So why!? Why did this have to happen to him? Did the mere fact of his birth mean that he would never attain the happiness he seeked? Really this was impossible! This was nigh impossible! They were monsters, scary demons released from hell! Each and every one of them, where was his sanity? His normality?! ”Why am I doomed to this life of misery and decay!?” Rizer screamed, holding his head while sinking to his knees in sorrow. Where was he? The Smithsonian museum, having watched the entire happenings as he was too afraid to encounter the thief, at most he had determined that some sort of artifact was being used and that was it. The exact artifact and the nature still unknown, maybe he had more than one, but hiding behind exhibits and shivering underneath fake rocks and dinosaur bones didn’t help one bit in his search. In fact his findings had basically been something they assumed from the start, so naturally his older brother and partner in crime was pissed, and pissed all the same because they didn’t fight. Rizer glanced towards his shadow with a look that bordered on tears, and what he saw was his shadow, yet not. The form was all wrong, it didn’t look like Rizer at all with the spikey hair, and athletic frame visible even beneath that murky darkness.

”Rizer, you suck! You coward! How dare you be my flesh and blood! Let me strangle you already! LET ME KILL YOU!” The shadow made grand gestures and mimed strangling something with its hands, only making Rizer shrink back in fear before trying to run from his own shadow despite knowing full well the futility of the matter. That shadow was the other soul inside of him, the second owner of this body and the original owner. His older twin brother Waver Velvet. The two had different names to assume some sort of individuality from each other and they certainly didn’t look alike. Fraternal twins were what they were, not identical, if they were identical perhaps it would’ve been easier to get along with his overbearing brother. ”You do it, you do it! I quit! They’re monsters, freaks of nature! I don’t wanna die! Bro, you take care of it!” Rizer’s shadow stopped moving about and crossed its arms, a smoking stick in one of its hands which it put towards its head before blowing out a small cloud. ”Nah. Seeing you run around screaming is funny as hell. I’ll come out when the situation calls for it. Besides, even if I didn’t want to admit it, your stronger than I am when it comes to close quarters, and a place like this is bad for my guns. Which I hope you’re takin’ care off. Drop that case and I’ll crush your skull.” Rizer glanced towards the giant case around his back, huffing a tired sigh at the unfairness of it all. Waver treated that trunk like trash when he was in control, but expected him to take care of it like the most important thing on the earth. Jerk. Rizer set the case down and sat on top of it, placing a hand over his face as he thought of what to do next. ”I want a break.”

Ysa had watched the whole ordeal, from the outside of the last door. But hadn't seen it at the same time. Her mind had been somewhere else the moment she saw the criminal. She had hidden herself behind the door- some innate sense demanded that she had stayed put. Even as all had taken place she could not take her eyes off of the man. The thief. The one with the book. She was surprised that she remained still and silent, almost statuesque, when all the different animals came pouring into the museum. Rats, Cats, Dogs, and spiders. She knew what they were, but her mind was telling her that they were monsters. She was frozen as she watched.

When the turmoil was done she looked through her peeping place at the dead bodies, the absence of the man brought back her ability to actually soak in everything else. She looked on the small rodents, and the two standing in the room. She hadn't been able to do anything. Sure she could have, but she hadn't. Her mind had been frozen and now it wandered, even still, to the man. He had looked so.... familiar to her. And yet not. The more she tried to remember where she may have seen him, the more her head hurt. Finally a sharp pain made her clutched her head and actually make a sound. It took a few moments to regain herself.

She didn't know him. How could she? If she knew him, he would have a name to his face. And he was a criminal, she didn't associate with criminals!
After she told herself this, her hands dropped to her sides calmly as if nothing had happened. She looked in the room once again and stood to walk back out. There was nothing more she could even try to do here. She had seen the thief's face, and perhaps with research a name would soon go with it.

((okay I'm back.... and man, I missed all the fun T^T ))

[Here Lie We]

A slight groan tore from Fridae's throat as he shook away the shroud's of unconsciousness. Slowly, he opened his jade eyes and staggered to his feet. His head ached, and when he raised a hand to touch the side of his head, just about an inch from his left temple, pain nearly made him pass out.Blood had dribbled down the side of his face, the dry, marroon streak ending just above his jaw-line. With his fingernails, he scratched away the dried blood, flakes coming off. Most of it got underneath his fingernails and when he looked at the dark remains he wondered how he had let himself get knocked out. No, there was no time. The killer-thief and the girl could still be here.He leaned down and picked up his sword, this time not sheathing it before moving. Breaking into a run, he zig-zagged his way through the remains. It was pretty easy to find out where the people had been, destruction followed in it's path. Finally, he slowed as he made it into the room where dead carcass's littered the floor.

Ysa heard someone coming. She froze in her place and looked up to the door. 'More people? No the police! They're coming. If they find us here they'll arrest us all, and what are we supposed to say? What am I supposed to say?! Even if I tell them the truth they won't believe me. They'll just send me back-... ' But her thoughts cut off as her mind went blank. She still looked to the door, waiting. 'Where? Where will they send me?'

But it wasn't the police, at least not yet. It was the guy from before. The one who had been fighting in the foyer area when she had first come in. At least he wasn't dead. It would have been horrible if that girl had killed him. She said nothing but watched. Remaining alert for any sirens. Which would, she knew, eventually come.

((Actually Mesume, if you look at the description I sent you, it says that whoever posses the feather gains the strength of the Roc, along with the mental instability. And since a Roc can pick up an african elephent like it is nothing, I kinda assumed that it would be able to pierce a weaken steel door...))
