~* Emerald Alcazar *~ Bar and Inn. <A place for Literate Rp>

[ConstantSnow]

Love sighed when Sevren left, knowing his 'work' wasn't pretty. She licked her lips and turned to her daughter. "Acrista, its time for school." She said, needing some form of distraction. The five year old sighed, and patted one of the wolves on the snout, then walking over to her mother.

"I don't wanna do school work." Acrista said, folding her arms across her chest with a pout. Love smiled and picked the girl up.

"I know you don't, however, you know the first rule of survival. Right Acrista?" Love asked heading down to Sevren and her room to grab her daughter's bag.

"Yes mommy." Acrista said.

"And what is that?" Love asked, heading towards the library.

"The best way to kill your enemy is to outsmart them." Acrista said and Love nodded with a hum of approval. "Or I can just call daddy."

Love chuckled. "Normally, yes. Calling your father would help you. But baby, he's not always going to be able to get to you. Neither will I, so you need to be able to defend yourself." Love replied when they reached the library. She set Acrista down. "Pick a spot." She said, wanting to see where her daughter chose.

Acrista instantly went to the area near the back of the large room. From that spot, all the windows were clear, as were the doors. However, the set of chairs was hard to see from the doors, and several of the windows. All in all, a perfect spot to see without being out in the open. Acrista climbed in to a chair and looked towards her mother with large glowing eyes.

Love smiled and headed towards her daughter, taking her spot in the seat across from her. She opened the small purple and light blue bag and dug around before pulling out a large old leather book and set it on her lap.

"Alright Acrista, what was the last creature we talked about?" Love asked, flipping through the book. She remembered, but wanted to see if her daughter remembered.

[Sevren Jacovi]

Sevren walked in to the Alcazar ashes still falling off his boots, the stink of smoke wafting off of him. He walked through the bar, not seeing Love or Acrista and made his way toward his room.

He stepped inside and undressed, stepping into the shower and washing the smog off of him. The black liquid seeping down the drain, the smoky atmosphere around him fading and finally washing clean. He stepped out of the shower and brushed his hair as he made his way to his wardrobe.

He grabbed a "Motel Hell" movie t-shirt and a pair of grey cargo's. He pulled a studded belt around his waist laced a pair of Dr. Martin boots tightly, grabbing a cloth trench coat and throwing it over his torso, strapping twin 25in Khyber knives one to each leg.

He looked around and stepped from the room, walking into the library and hearing his daughter's voice. Walking over to the table and seeing her studying, "Hey girls, what have you been up to" he said as he sat down, looking at Love and saying

"Saw this at the church i went to, thought you should have it" he said as he pulled a diamond necklace from his pocket and handed it to her, smiling and giving her a small peck on the cheek. "What are we learning about".

[Vengeful Rippner]

Rippner stood before the Alcazar, his nose flaring up due to Sevren's scent in the air. He grunted and pushed open the doors to the castle like building, he stopped at the bar and looked around, not really caring if anyone saw him. He quickly made his way to the upper levels and stopped outside the library doors.

He softly yelled "Little Pigs, Little Pigs let me come in....not by the hair of my chinny chin chin...then i'll huff...and i'll puff and i'll blow your house in" as he placed his hand to the door and watched them fly open, the lights in the library flickering and sparking. Half the room going dark as he entered.

"I smell you have a little one now brother, your slut gave birth to the whore of babylon" he said as he pulled out a desert eagle, the barrel of the gun etched in old ruins. "I got some toys while i was in hell, it's really interesting what tools they have down there" he continued as he walked further into the library.

"Now you can make this easy and come out, let me shoot you and i'll leave....or you can hide, or fight and only further piss me off" he said as he rocked the gun in his hand, ready to fire when ever needed.

[ConstantSnow]

Love had just put the necklace on when Rippner came in to the library. Her heart stopped in her chest for a few brief moments before she jumped from her seat to Acrista.

"Go find your friend." She said quietly, running her fingers briefly through her daughter's dirty blond hair. The girl looked at her mother skeptically, then vanished in a swirl of black smoke.

Love grabbed her daughter's back and began digging around in it, while she watched Rippner walk slowly in to the library, gun in hand. Her eyes narrowed on the runes etched in to it, quickly storing it in her memory for later. She was going to find the b*****d in hell who decided to help Rippner, and kill him or her very very slowly, with her own two hands.

Love dropped Acrista's bag when her hand wrapped around the handle of her own weapon. Twelve feet of white leather braided in to a cord nearly an inch thick with scalpel blades in them. Each blade was coated in a different toxic substance, personally made by Love to cause the most damage to any supernatural being. Rippner included. The handle was made out of the same metal as her father's mighty sword, as were the scalpel blades.

"Your slut gave birth to the Whore of Babylon!" Rippner roared.

Love's eyes went wide, and she glanced at Sevren, wanting to see his expression, to gauge his reaction.

[Sevren Jacovi]

Sevren cracked his neck as the familiar stench of Rippner caught his attention, when the lights dimmed Sevren quickly drew his two Khyber knives and rolled behind a shelving of books, seeing Acrista vanish Sevren looked at Love, hatred and hunger in his eyes.

As Rippner roared his taunt Sevren leapt from the shadows driving one of the knives deep into Rippner's chest, landing and driving the knife through Rippner's leg severing his two major arteries. Sevren having done this in seconds used the rest of the kentic energy of his landing to preform a backwards flip kick, sending Rippner stumbling back.

Sevren found his footing and quickly flipped the blades clean of blood, Rippner's thick, black blood. He looked at the man before him, gun heavy in his hand.

"Silly, silly boy...have you learned nothing from being in hell, have you learned to respect your ELDERS" Sevren screamed as he ran forward and kicked Rippner dead center in the chest knocking him to the ground and sending the pistol flying from his hand.

Sevren backed to Love and glanced at her, his attention on Rippner. Fore should he try and strike, Sevren would be ready, both knives shining in the moonlight.

[ConstantSnow]

When Rippner stood, Love swung her whip out with a crack, then wrapped it tightly around Rippner's neck, pulling it tight, then stepping on it, forcing the man in her whip's hold hard to the floor.

She clenched her jaw and stepped around Sevren and towards Rippner, but leaving enough space between them, where she knew she was still safe. "Who gave you that gun?" She asked, she pulled the whip again as he started to stand again. She growled, slightly amused at the black blood dripping heavily on the ground. "Don't lie to me either. I'll know for one, and it'll only piss me off."

[Vengeful Rippner]

Rippner laughed as he hit the floor, twin blades sticking into him. As the assault on him continued only more laughter sounded from his lungs. As his attackers ceased he got to his feet, the shadows covering his body and the wounds closing.

"It's going to take a lot more then that to get rid of me" he said as he threw open his hand and a solidified beam of darkness shot out and struck Sevren in the chest, sending him crashing back into a wall.

Rippner looked over at the pistol and back to Love, licking his lips and saying "Oh that old thing, i grabbed it on my way out; i've got plenty in store for you trust me" he said harshly as he brushed off his coat, "Well i just wanted to say hi to the wife and kids, we'll be in touch" he said as he fell into the shadows and disappeared, only his laughter lingering in the distance.

[KILLEDbyaNiNjA]

Walking into the bar, Her body still mangled but slowly healing. Kaiya looks around as she's being starred down, the atemp to shadow her alien form from others is futile seeing how her cloaking device got shattered.

Kaiya keeps her head down in shame as she is walking up to the bar. She sitts down on a stool and wipes the dried light green blood off her face Kaiya asks for a Bourbon on ice. The need to get wasted is overwhelming even for a being like her.

A light beeping sound goes off for a couple of minutes, she opens her pouch and pulls out a silver device thats glowing bright baby blue. "hmm....a strong being is here." she goes to look around her then it stops. "It's fading away." She quickly puts her energy reader away, pulls the cloak that was covering her face and runs to the library.

She bursts through the library doors and looks around. "Damn it!! I was too late." She looks and see's Love and Sevren standing by the area the energy faded away. "ah ha!! sorry I didnt see you two standing there" She smiles greatly like nothing is happening but it only increased the awkwardness of the moment She moves forward pulling out another one of her devices that scans the area. Kaiya punches in a few codes and it starts scanning the library with bright neon green lights. It beeps and a picture of Rippner shows up, all of his records shows up going from his basic to the tip top of the iceberg.

Kaiya presses something else on the scanner and the picture disappears. "So im gonna take a wild guess and say you two know this being?" She looks at the two hoping one will come out with the answers she needs.

[Sevren Jacovi]

Sevren sprinted as Rippner faded into the shadows, reaching through his portal and grabbing a hold of Rippner, "You won't live next time" he warned as the portal closed, leaving his hand pressed against the floor. Sevren got to his feet and turned to Love, "Your mother has some explaining to do, i know she was one of the people in charge of holding him" he said as he ran a hand through his hair.

He turned as the doors busted open the alien frantically running in, a strange device in her hands. As she spoke Sevren cleaned his knife, "Yes, in a short version we do know him" he said in an annoyed voice.

"I need a ******** drink, Love where's Acrista" he asked as he slid his knife into it's holster.

[ConstantSnow]

Love clenched her jaw as Rippner vanished. As the alien rushed in, she forced herself to relax her shoulders, to appear calm and collected despite the rage burning within her. She let Sevren answer Kaiya's questions, let him keep it simple.

"You should be careful with the tone of your voice Sevren, a person might think you're accusing my mother of something and not everyone is as understanding as I am." Love said stiffly, putting her weapon away. She'd clean the blades later.

"Acrista's fine. She's with 'Bob' and she can stay with him for now." Love said. "She doesn't need to be around you when you're angry Sevren. Or when Rippner's stench is still in the air." Love headed towards the bar before the other two, swallowing the bile that stung the back of her throat at seeing Rippner again.

Sevren had the right idea about booze. Love thought

[Sevren Jacovi]

Sevren turned to Love, "I'm not accusing her, but she would know the names of all people involved in holding Rippner, i know she wouldn't have helped him; she's your mother but we need to talk to her" he said as he followed her toward the bar, stopping near the alien.

"Rippner is a psychopath who has an axe to grind with me and my family, if you want to help us to kill this ******** then your more then welcome; in fact having an Alien on our side might help us, i know Rippner has never encountered an Alien before. Could be an interesting specimen for you to capture and bring home". he said as he walked toward the doors.

"Please, join us for a drink" he said as he made his way through the doors and into the hall, walking down the stairs and stepping into the bar.

He made himself a gravedigger and sat next to Love, softly rubbing her back as he took a drink. He took one of his knives out and saw a small blood drop left over from Rippner, Sevren simply licked the blade and arched his back.

"I can feel him, he's not close" he said taking another drink looking at the large knife, "I swear i will kill this ********" he said once more before taking a drink and putting the knife away. He then lit a menthol cigarette and inhaled, blowing the smoke out, watching it dance in the air.

[KILLEDbyaNiNjA]

Kaiya finishes her scanning in the library. then turns towards sevren and childly smiles at him. "Having him as a "subject" would be quite pleasant, but I fear someone else other then this trio is awaiting his arrival somewhere beyond here." Her smile fades alittle. "his powers are mostly great, and put that into the wrong hands of this universe, I believe these humans have no chance of survival." She all of a sudden becomes devious and plants a wicked smile upon her face "and we wouldnt want that would we?" she giggles slightly at the idea and turns to Love. "He has the right to be angry not at you persay nor your mother but at the fact that SOMEONE as humans say ******** up.' she puts her hand on Love's shoulder as a kind gesture. "I'd advise to see this from Sevren's eyes before making some assumptions, or else it would not be fair to Him."

Kaiya walks behind Sevren heading towards the bar. She pulls out her own Flask thats filled will the green grasshopper. She takes several swiggs of it and sitt's down next to sevren, she also pulls out her own data maker and turns towards Sevren and Love. "I need data or as you say information about this Rippner being, How dangerous is he?" She starts typing and pulls out the entire Galaxy and points to the screen "where is he from? whats he made of? do you know his blood type?" She stops a second and realizes she started to jump the gun a bit and started asking random questions. "im sorry but coming across a being like this is just way too amazing to pass up!!! I could really use his powers for some "good" if you want to call it that."

She sips some more of her drink and looks at the two half sober her breathe reeking of alcohol "now before we actually get started and catching this mother ********, is there anything i need to know about you two or anything you want to know about me? its only in precaution. For my sake anyways."

[Vengeful Rippner]

Rippner faded into the light, his body tingling from the open portal. He dusted off his jacket and walked forward. He approached Sven who was standing in the doorway to a large skyscraper in downtown Chicago.

As the two walked in shadows overtook the building, the lights exploded. Rippner looked around as people fled the building, laughing as he entered a freight elevator and took it to the top floor, he exited the lift and turned into a marble lined hallway.

He kicked open two onyx doors and held his hand out, telekinticly tossing the man from his chair out the window, listening to him fall 80 floors. Rippner turned on his heal to face Sven, "We have our base set up, contact Frank and get us our guns" he said as he sat down behind the large desk, kicking his feet up and lighting a cigar.

"This might be a bit harder then i thought" he said as he crushed a old picture of him and Sevren.

[ConstantSnow]

Love sighed, settling on to the bar stool. She tossed a few ice cubes in to a cup, and topped that off with Damiana. The alcohol was slightly sweet on her tongue and reminded her of Heaven. She chewed her cheek before speaking.

"I'm not blaming you Sevren, and normally my emotions never get the best of me, you know that." She paused watching a whisp of smoke from Sevren's cigarette float across the bar counter. "Its just that Rippner was in the same room with Acrista and that is my worst nightmare come to life." She shivered. "I know we need to speak to my mother, and I know she'll be outraged that Rippner got out on her watch."

Love took another drink. "You never did really tell me what happened between you and him, Sevren. All I know is that the fact that I'm even around you is reason enough for him to torture me the way he did, and for him to enjoy it, because it hurt you. That's a lot of rage. My father doesn't even hate Lucifer that much, and he's sleeping with the only woman my father ever cared for. The only woman, my father, Michael the oldest arch angel, defied GOD for." Love looked at Sevren. " Do you see where I'm coming from? I want to know why this sick son of a b***h hates you so much. I deserve to know the real reason Rippner hates you. Not the bullshit you told me before."

[Sevren Jacovi]

Sevren turned in his seat as Love spoke, the smoke dancing around him as it lingered softly in the air. He sipped his gravedigger and chewed on a mint leaf, taking in each word Love spoke. As she demanded answers from him, he couldn't help but feel attacked.

Sevren sighed and said "I've never lied to you and, I've never fed you any bullshit. Rippner and me go way back yes, but it's almost all him. He's power drunk, before everything happened between you and him, he honestly just wanted to be me; he was envious of what i had become; he felt weak and when he saw was becoming death had done for me he craved that power".

Sevren took a drink and put out his cigarette before continuing.

Sevren had a dazed look on his face as he continued to speak, "Rippner, gets his power from me however. Before i was death i was a serial killer, probably the best serial killer because i did nothing but kill for decades. All the pain and suffering i caused for the people who's lives i destroyed by killing their loved ones. That energy doesn't just disappear, it manifests and it comes for you. In a very real sense i created Rippner by throwing off the balance, the energy i put out into the world, came back to haunt me three fold".

Sevren finished his drink, "So yeah, he hates me because he is the embodiment of decades of murder, sorrow and pain. The same energy that helped bring me back, that pain is fueling Rippner, his only purpose in life is to make me pay, the same way i was suppose to kill the bloodlines of those who murdered me. All the pain of my victims flows through Rippner, their sorrow is his heart beat".

Sevren finished speaking and got to his feet, "I'm going for a walk" he said as he turned and exited the bar.
