Welcome to Gaia! ::

Edmond quickly threw his mask back on before Asura could see his face. Edmond continued working on the quiver knowing exactly who Asura was. The voice was to much like the wolf's had been and no random man entered a building. Dantes lifted up his v-neck to show the bite had become simple scars. "What did you attempt to do to me?" The count asked as he motioned to the bowl with the green ooze he had cleaned off the floor. Most of it was out but a small amount lingered causing the healing factor. His bow was a few inches from his hand but he did not reach for it. Instead he began putting arrows in the quiver, lots of them. Then he let it sit and turned to face Asura. His mask was still on and his identity safe. This temporary base had been as useful as it could, not he would have to move on. He had all his arrows packed into the suitcase beside him as well as his suits. His bow and quiver were behind him. clearly he was ready to move.

Asura had not surprised the Count. He was always aware of his surroundings, and his enemies. He was willing to bet that in this form Asura would be much easier to beat but he did not take the chance. He simply sat looking at the werewolf and waiting.

"Good choices. But I think I will settle with your death. I just couldn't trust you in my fave five." The Count said as he put on his quiver, picked up his bow and then his suitcase. During the transformation he made his way to the door. "Besides, I think your little gift was lost in translation, I feel the effects, the new strength, speed, and energy, but I don't feel that. The wolf you think I am. Now had most of it stayed in my body believe me, I would be on your side, but as long as I have the choice. Kiss my-" The Count was cut off by a loud beeping noise. He turned and began running. A few seconds later poison gas filled the room. Then several charges went off detonating the warehouse. He had picked a location separated from other things so the explosion would not harm civilians. but it would hurt Asura if he was still inside.

The Count Ran to an alley and hid his briefcase before changing back into his suit. Now, back in his costume, he attached his quiver to the clips on the jacket made for it. Then he locked the case, hid it, and took off getting away from the ally. He notched an arrow and prepared for a fight. When he got most of the toxin out he had spared himself the curse of turning into a werewolf. But the amount that remained in him gave him a few gifts of a lesser one. That had been Asura's mistake. He now had his normal skill and the werewolf strength. Not to mention he now knew what kind of arrows to use.

"Because I am what I choose to be, you can not stop or change that." the Count said "?Now leave, I am not going to join you and you will not be able to kill me. This is a stale mate." Dantes reasoned as he notched an arrow and took aim. "Or we can keep fighting. A fight which nether of us will win."

"Research says it is all about how you filter your rage. I am a vigilante. Boom, found a filter." The Count said as he put the arrow back and walked away. He returned to the alley and grabbed his suitcase before taking off his mask. He put the bow and quiver in the case and carried it to a hotel. Once there he got a rather large room and plopped down on the bed. Dantes took his laptop out off the suitcase and opened up a live feed of the house his base had formerly been in. Firefighters had just finished cleaning up the mess. He would need to keep watching the feed to see when emily showed up. With no way to contact her he would need to intercept her it he saw her. Then he set the laptop and the computer and laid on the bed to rest a bit.

After a few minutes of resting the Count discovered just how bored he was. So he chose to explore the hotel a little. So he rolled out of bed and walked over to the Tv turning it off. Then he heard a few loud thumps. "Great, it's that kind of hotel..." Edmond mumbled to himself as he grabbed his mask and folded it. Then he put it in his pocket and walked out to the hallway. After walking around he found a couple who looked like something had just broke into their room and the door frame showed something had. He cursed under his breath and put his mask on before walking into the room. They did not wait for him to ask before pointing down the hall.

Edmond nodded and approached a door with caution. He put his hand on the nod and slowly tried to turn it however it stopped half way. Locked. Unlike some people Edmond knew what to do. He pulled out his lockpicking kit and went to work. A few moments later the door was opened. Inside was just a man sleeping, who clearly had a lot of weapons. The one that stuck out most was the bow. "Just great..." He mumbled to himself.

"Your a laughable lad you know that. Breaking into my mate's room then expecting no consequence?" Edmond said putting on a rather good british accent. Best not to use his normal voice. He didn't have the scrambler on him and so many people could run vocal recognition nowadays. He had no bow, not knife, he had no weapons but Mikhail did. So Edmond would need to use the room if they engaged. However, he did possess a particularly useful skill.

With his thoughts coming together The Count took a step towards mikhail expecting him to shoot the arrow.

The Count smiled under his mask and shook the man's hand. "I am The Count." Edmond said before letting go of the man's hand. "I must admit it is a nice collection of arrows you have here. A lot like mine, just, more magical seeming. Still, not bad."

The Count looked at the bottle. "I have a poison much like that. Mine paralyzes the body then causes it to decay from the inside. I only carry one arrow with it at a time to lower the odds i accidently pull out the wrong arrow." Dantes said. His arrows were mostly special because of chemical compounds. He even had one that exploded in liquid nitrogen. all of this was fascinating to him. Then he heard a noise and looked towards the door. "I did hear something..." He mumbled. IT had not been clear but ti had been a noise.
