[PRP] Jinxes for the Jinxed (Seras/Pantaleon)

[Nasaiki]

Seras watched as Leon’s attention turned towards the door and she suddenly felt a small pang of sympathy towards the creature whether it be something normal or supernatural. Daeva glares where definitely something you didn’t want aimed towards you, you also didn’t want to aim their ire at you, maybe the poor unfortunate creature didn’t know about daeva tempers? Sure Leon wasn’t as grouchy and pissy as all the other daevas but he could give off a pretty mean scare.

She watched as Leon tried to determine who had opened the door and gave a weak smile as pretty much the door answered back. She turned towards the side expecting to hear crickets and instead looked up to see rather big and metal drums of something sitting in a stacked manner.

Why did she even get out of bed today, there was no way her jinx was going to pass that up.

Sure enough the rope or what ever silly thing was holding it back broke and all the drums of course went rolling towards Seras, who rolled into the room to avoid them. She watched with an amused horror as they all piled up right in front of the entrance to the factory. Well there had to be another exit. “You didn’t want to leave any time soon right?” Alucard so had to be doing better than this.

At the first crash of metal Leon whipped around, jumping a little in surprise. He winced more at the volume of sound as the barrels crashed over the opening they'd come in through than the fact that the opening was now no longer....well, open.

"It's alright, we'll figure a way out of here," he said when the last barrel settled with a particularly harshing, squeaking metal grate. "If nothing else I might be able to shift those aside, but to avoid getting crushed let's leave that as a last resort."

Leon looked around the giant, gloomy room. The busted windows might have been promising, but the frames were too small to fit through. Perhaps he could push the frames out? No telling. He glanced over his shoulder into the dark room behind him. He couldn't see very far inside, but from when he'd shouted earlier the echo indicated it was fairly large.

"Should we try poking around," he asked Seras.  

[Nasaiki]

Seras took a deep sigh and shook her head. It was times like these that she wasn’t completely sure her curse just wanted to cause her misfortune it was like it built up every once in a while in an attempt to kill her off. Alucard so had the better jinx some time, at least he could have a normal life as long as he stayed as a hermit.

Seras glared at the barrel and shook her head. “Yeah its probably best if we leave that as the last resort.” She agreed after all her curse had used it once, and it wasn’t above using it again. Suddenly she stopped her way of thinking and mentally hit herself. This sounded way too much like whining and feeling sorry for herself. She was going to go and have a ‘good time’ with her friend and no curse trying to kill her was going to stop her.

“Well we should probably stick with the original plan, spooky coincidences aside. I’m sure the humans had more than one entrance” She agreed and stood up dusting herself off. “Besides I still have to convince you that I have a jinx and its not just pessimistic thinking” She teased.
 

[jinxgirl5]

Leon nodded in agreement with Seras' assertion of multiple exits, but had to snort when she brought up her curse again. "What, you think those barrels fell cause of your curse?" He shook his head. "Those things are giant rust pots. All these years of neglect and nature pounding on them? Plus I'm betting the humans might have stacked them precariously."

He shrugged. "Just a bit of bad luck that we came in and caused the disturbance that sent them over. If anything I bet it was the backdraft from my wings, so those are probably my fault." He raised an eyebrow, daring Seras to find fault with his arguement.  

[Nasaiki]

Seras shook her head and stayed quiet she had actually been staring very intently at the rope and knew it wasn’t that frail. However she wouldn’t put it past the humans to do something stupid like placing them precariously. Then again the barrels looked like they where in pretty good condition as well. Maybe it was a combination of both and not her curse deciding it wanted to off her.

“oh I am sure it was the back draft” she said shaking her head and with an amused tone, but left the argument at that. She turned towards him to look at the rest of the room that the weird door had opened to. “So what do we want to do next?” Seras asked changing the subject.
 

[jinxgirl5]

Leon's eyebrow inched higher, but he didn't comment either.

"Now, I guess we have to go into that room over there, unless you want to try to open up a different door," he said, nodding towards the dark opening that seemed to be staring at them. "The dark's not too big a problem, we've got my flames and you glow a bit."

Leon cast his gaze around the rest of the room they were stuck in. The second search turned up the same results as the first. Nothing but the windows and the blocked door. They were going to have to go through one of those doors set in the wall, and hope one led to outside.

((1. A sudden, loud banging sound comes from behind one of the doors closest to the wall; they go to check it out.))
((2. Same as 1, but instead they're spooked by the noise and pick a door further away.))
((3. They go into the door Leon opened.))
((4. They hear a sound coming from the room with the open door.))
((5. Something comes rolling out of the open door.))  

[Nasaiki]

Seras chuckled at Leon’s comment about how she glowed a bit, there wasn’t anything on the poor girl that didn’t give off some sort of glow. Her eyes glowed, her jewelry glowed, her mouth glowed,... she glowed. However he was right in the fact they wouldn’t be hard on for light. The only problem was what ever kept messing with them was in here as well. Did they want to put them selves in a completely dark place?

As Seras looked around for other doors, the one closest to the wall caught her attention. It sounded like some creepy banging was coming from something behind it. It gave Seras a less than happy spooked feeling and she unconsciously looked for another door…. Farther away. “Maybe that one instead?”
 

[jinxgirl5]

((1. The door Seras picks slowly creeps open, squeaking horror-movie style.))
((2. The door from which the noises come from suddenly flies open with enough force that it bangs against the wall and bounces back, nearly shutting again with its own momentum.))
((3. They go to the door Seras picked, but it's locked.))
((4. They go to the door Seras picked and it opens, revealing a large room, though slightly smaller and low-ceilinged than the one they're in now, but with windows for some light.))

Leon turned to follow Seras' gaze. He hadn't had more than stare at the chipped paint on the metal door, when it moved.

It creeped open slowly open, the rusted hinges giving off a high pitch squeal that sent a shiver up Leon's spine and caused his hair to stand up a little. It looked like someone was pushing it open from the inside; Leon couldn't imagine how something that sounded like that could be opening on its own.

The door got about halfway open. They couldn't see in the room but a watery shaft of light spilled out from the gap. Leon turned to look at Seras, raising an eyebrow. "Well, shall we?"  

[Nasaiki]

Well the modeities had to hate her. In her last life she had been a brutal murder and gone massacring a small little tribe. It explained everything, expect for the fact she hadn’t really heard anything that pointed to the fact Modifoxes reincarnated.

Seras sighed as the door she picked made an ominous sound as it creaked open. She really hoped that some one was doing this and not a ghost because she was so going to… Seras sighed losing her temper in this life time wasn’t going to help her and leon get out of this factory. At least it might finally convince her friend there where more supernatural elements in the world.

“Might as well, show it that we cant be scared what ever may be causing this” Seras stated. If she could survive into adult hood being next to Alucard she could definitely get through this abandoned factory curse and ghosts be warned.  

[jinxgirl5]

Leon sighed. "Maybe it opened on it's own," he suggested, but without conviction. Judging from the noise the door had made the thing hadn't been opened, willingly or with assistance, on its own for a long, long time.

He padded over to the door, eyeballing it with distrust as he approached, until he got to the entrance. "Huh. At least it's not as dark as we were fearing it would be," he said, daring into the dimly illuminated room.  

[Nasaiki]

Seras resisted the urge to snort in a disbelieving tone; by the way Leon had spoken it sounded like he didn’t really believe what he said either. However in cases like this some times it was just easier to try and disbelieve there was something in a building with you.

“Surprisingly” Seras agreed. If she had gone in alone no doubt it would have been absolutely pitch dark. Then again the dark really didn’t faze her too much as she was basically her own flashlight. Seeing as Leon had entered the room, seras followed behind him hoping that nothing else weird was going to happen today. Some how she didn’t think that was going to happen.
 

[jinxgirl5]

Leon slowly paced into the room, looking around as he went. The outside had seemed pretty empty, just the catwalk, a few barrels, and the odd piece of equiptment here or there. By comparison this room was crowded!

There was a lot more machinery in varying sizes, benches pushed up against walls with objects littering the tops or hanging on the walls above them. Random stuff littering the floor that had probably been put away when this place was inhabited. There did seem to be a lot of windows set in one of the walls, though because of all the stuff in the room the light was poorly distrubted.

"What a mess," he grunted, kicking a small metal object at his feet. "Looks like they just up and left without bothering to clean."  

[Nasaiki]

Seras sighed as they walked further and further in to the room. As she looked at all the equipment and machinery she tried to think positively however she was also unconsciously preparing her self for the worst. Her and human machinery was almost always a no, it had the precarious notion of always malfunctioning when ever she was near it.

Plus on top of all the machinery there where objects all over the place just waiting to cause trouble. However Seras kept on walking, crushing the urge to suddenly walk next to leon. She had agreed to go into the building so she would face the evil room and not take the coward’s way out. “It does look pretty messy. However that sounds like humans alright, they are always leaving their stuff around”

She also looked out for what ever was playing tricks with them, however with the poor lighting and Seras’s glow it gave plenty of shadows for anything to still be watching them, although Seras hadn’t really felt the tingling feeling that normally associated being watched.
 

[jinxgirl5]

Leon snorted again. It was about the most accurate way to sum up his opinion on the hairless two-leggers. He debated adding his flames to the light in the room, but decided against it. No telling what was and was not flammable in here, and considering they were trapped in the building for the moment he’d rather it didn’t catch on fire.

His eyes flashed gold from the light reflecting in him as he slowly walked further into the room, able to make out the general shape of things even if the light was dim. The floor was thickly covered in dust, muffling all sounds from their paws as they walked. Leon eyed the ground critically. “It’s just our footsteps,” he said in a preoccupied voice, looking around again in case he’d missed something.

He’d been sure that door was pushed open, but if it had there would have been scuffs around the dust or paw prints in the room. Even if it was a flying creature, it would have made a lot of noise and they’d have seen them by now…  

[Nasaiki]

Seras smiled almost wanting to shake her head in amusement at what could only be leon’s opinion on the two legged creatures. She found them to be okay for the most part only they often made things her curse tended to use against her. Plus for as far as they had come to try ruling the world they often did very stupid things like the setup of those barrels that had almost crushed her.

She eyed the stuff that wasn’t attached to the floor or wall and wondered if it would be coming down to try and meet her only. Only her curse wouldn’t try again so soon after the barrel attempt right? Ugh her parents had to have been mass murders and had harmed some irate powerful shaman in some way. Suddenly Leon’s voice distracted her from her thoughts and she turned to look at him with a questioned look. Then again judging from his face he was also thinking about the things in the factory in some way.
Seras opened her mouth to try to say something when some of the machines suddenly turned on startling her a tad. With all the sound the stuff placed on them started jumping up and vibrating horribly. Okay so either ghost/creature really wanted to mess with them or her curse wasn’t being nice today… either one just brought so much joy to her
