The feral look on his face began to crawl back, his eyes softening from pure black to red. When he spoke, the two voices that sounded like incoherent chanting in two different unknown languages had stopped. Now it was only Krii'Ouse and Esou speaking. Kerrigan's presence had done some good.
'Is this man a hunter?' they asked. 'Is he registered, on the roster, or one of your lackeys. We will not have anyone not on our roster in this Haven. We do not approve of that sort of thing. However, if he is representing some group to ask of us our permission, then what is it you are planning on doing? Make this quick, we need to try to find someway to calm ourselves even further.'

"It is true they are outsiders, but only he and his elite come to you this day."
He clicks his fingers, and the men who had followed Lamont to here removed their hoods, revealing a group of heavily tattooed men, all but the leader bald, the others having masses of scripture jotted on their bald scalps.
They bowed graciously, and Lamont beckoned them to rise.
"They swore an oath of silence many years ago, the tattoos on their bodies symbolise their thoughts and feelings, their past, and their secrets."
He beckoned the leader to walk forward, his flowing silver hair covering much of his face, leaving only a mess of inked flesh and an eye of pure black revealed.
"The men wish to assist you in any way possible to kill the threat this city is under. I came here seeking revenge, but allas it seems I have found myself into a web of terror. The enemy grow strong, and rumors have leaked to the outside world of our retreating and cowardly behavious. These men led me here just under 2 months ago, and scared for my safety, as they owe me for my sacrifice to them, came seeking me."
The men raised their hoods over their faces, and walked slowly to the door, exiting, only the leader remaining.
"I beg of you, these men will give their lives for this battle. Let them seek shelter here until our force is ready. They are fast, and powerful, and they are shadows when the time comes. They already have a team of men working on finding a potential weapon to defeat the vampires, while leaving all else unharmed. But first..." He paused, his eyes flashing red for a second, and he clasped his head, falling onto his knees.
The leader of the men walked to assist Lamont, and helping him stand, Lamont continued "...We need as much information on these vampires, and how they are. They are different to the normal breed, they live in light and dark, they seem weaker then the more bat like creatures of the west. I ask, tell us all you know."

As the two men began a conversation, Kerrigan retreated a bit as the conversation turned to the daywalkers. Her eyes flashed a crimson as they were mentioned, her fangs extending of their own will, to which she turned her face from the new comer. The last thing she wanted was for him to start asking questions. Especially since she was not in the mood to answer questions on a topic she was not supposed to talk about. Not that she was afraid of Rogue. She was only instructed not to aid in any military action against the Hunters...she never said anything about information.
Giving the two of them a quick glance, she moved towards the infirmary for some blood packets. Her thirst was worsening...to the point where she could hardly go two hours without having some form of nourishment. Any longer than that was just painful. Without a word she slipped into the infirmary, leaving the two of them to talk business.

'They are not weaker, fool. They are stronger. They thirst more than they used to, and wreak more havoc, twice as often. Their strength has exponentiated, and we haven't any idea what they did to become daywalkers. As for your friends, I cannot authorise them to make use of our Haven. If they need somewhere to stay, have them go to the HISSS building, they will be able to find shelter there. We haven't much room left here in the Haven.'
Krii'Ouse shook his head. 'I cannot allow your men to interfere, either. There is a plan that we are going to enact in due time, and we will not allow any room for failure. One wrong move on anyone's part, and the plan is destroyed. Keep your men away from the daywalkers. This is why we've enacted Code Red, but you felt the need to disobey my direct orders. You're lucky that we will not punish you now, but by God after this ordeal with the daywalkers is over, we will deal with your disobedience. Is that understood?' His voices were raising in volume, obviously getting angry, again.

Lamont sighed and nodded, the leader of the group leaving, his hood firmly pulled back up.
"So, it seems we have an agreement, I keep the men at bay, and you don't kick up a fuss, fair 'nuff," He sighed, clearly bored, "I will get some of their researchers on the hunt for clues to how the vampires may have come to live like this, and until action is ready, I will focus my time on searching out a good tech shop. Can I have permission to go Civilian for a few days Sir? I mean, go out and survey from the streets. I am new, my face is not one that will be easily recognised by any, all I have met so far has died. However I will not get into any unnecessary trouble. I have a few simple tasks to finish, so maybe three days."

'So long as you steer away from any trouble, then we will permit this. After three days, you'd better be back in Haven. I already have Uncle, our best magi, researching it as we speak. His library has information long lost through time, and books that no one even knows exist.' Krii-Esou's voices start to calm a little his red eyes lessening their intense glow.
'Keep yourself hidden, and make sure no one sees that arm of yours.'

"They won't, I have a few charms in my room. One of those babies makes nobody care about the thing that wears it. In other words, I become ignored, they can see me, but the charm makes them lose intrest. They see me, and instantly don't want to, its genius." He chuckled, "But yeah, I will be careful, I wont take off my coat."
Unclipping his prized sword, he sighed "Take care of this, My smaller weapons will be decent protection in the worst of circumstances. I will keep low, investigate a little bit if I can, and ultimately report back anything I find. Oh we already have one lead. It seems there is a price for these daywalkers to pay. Their rate of healing seems slower then that of a normal vampire, almost three times slower. I don't know if its fully true, but our three test subjects clearly have all shown this. I will keep you posted."
Walking towards the exit, in a sort of dancing-esque manor, he stopped, and spun on his foot, turning for one last comment
"I dont suppose you know of any.... Mechanical dealers...?"

'What sort of mechanics do you seek?' Krii-Esou asked, shaking his head at the newcomer's confidence in finding daywalkers' weaknesses. The traditional stake to the heart would probably still work, as would blessed arrows, but with their reaction time and strength being more powerful, it would be harder now than ever to do.
Krii-Esou took the blade, and put it to the side, for now. He would put it somewhere later.

Edith wasnt' quite sure what to make of Kiriyama's silence and failure to respond to her question. She hoped that he was alright since he'd just clashed with Tokeru in his state of mind where everyone was an enemy and got the worst of Sethe's anger. Yeah, being on the receiving end of punishment seemed to be exactly where Kiriyama was today. It still kind of bothered Edith that her brother refused to even so much as consider that maybe this had possibly been her fault. She appreciated his faith in her, but she had a part in this all, whether or not Sethe was going to listen. After all, she'd been the one who'd brought Tokeru to haven in the first place.
The vampiric woman decided to move on from Kiriyama and instead assist those that were wounded. Well, those that'd been wounded were actually dead now, all of the people that'd attempted to thwart Tokeru had been humans who unfortunately hadn't survived. She decided that she was going to help them, even though their blood running this particular part of haven and their bodies didn't help much to subdue her vampiric counterpart. For now she'd be able to manage, but she'd have to grab one of those gross blood packets from Gail pretty soon, well, possibly not Gail since she'd been badly wounded. All she knew was that she was going to get these bodies out of here and then she was going to get a blood packet. Edith had only ever once fed off an actual human and that day still haunted her and filled her with immense guilt and remorse. Never again would she allow herself to become feral like that, never again in her life which wasn't a life any longer ...
She would have used her teleportation abilities to make this task a little easier, but she was frightened of using any of her inherited vampiric abilities at the moment since her thirst was beginning to get to her. Yes, Edith still parched herself, refusing to drink blood unless she absolutely had to. Her body maybe required it and was dependent upon it, but she'd never allow herself to personally become dependent or addicted to it as so many other vampires had. Then again, she'd only been a vampire for six months and she was certain that her body's craving would only grow and grow as it had these past few months. Edith was frightened of herself, what she'd become and she wasn't sure if she was going to be able to deal with herself for much longer.
Even though she hadn't known any of these hunters, she had decided that she was going to ask father Michaels if he would consider having a mass for them. Well, he'd, of course, agreed to it, since almost every dead hunter was mourned. It was at that moment that Edith realized that Reno had never really gotten a proper funeral or farewell from anyone. She was going to make sure that father Michaels included Reno in his ceremony and then perhaps it would be easier for her to let go. She'd never been good at letting go and at times she wished that her vampiric half of her would help her out a little with her issue of being too attached to other people or things.
Well, right now, she had been planning to head on over to the infirmary, but she wanted a few seconds to just sit there in the hall and think to herself for a few moments. It'd been what she was attempting to do by going for a walk through the park, but that'd been a mistake so now she was just going to sit here for a few moments. She'd check up on Tokeru right away, but she was kind of scared to go near Kerrigan because she could sense that Kerrigan was having even bigger issues with keeping her vampiric half under control. She was a daywalker, she required probably ten times more blood than Edith needed. Edith knew that her vampiric counterpart would only be drawn out by Kerrigan's, therefore, it wasn't a very smart idea to go near her at the moment, which meant that she was going to stay away from the infirmary. Yeah, she wanted to check up on Tokeru and she wanted to get some blood before she got herself some manually, but she didn't want anything to happen so she stayed put for now.
Anyone who happened to pass by and pay Edith so much as a glance would see her huddled against a wall, sort of in the fedal postition, clutching her knees to her chest and whatnot. She wasn't sure why, but right now she felt alone in the world, like she had no purpose here or anything. Yeah, maybe she was still suffering from slight depression and now she was going to have to come to terms with her altered fiance. Obviously he still loved her but he definitely wasn't the same and it scared her to think that her Angel had changed on her. She was kind of afraid to try to talk to him, but she knew that it wouldn't be fair to Tokeru to not talk to him after he'd been looking for her. All Edith prayed was that Tokeru would be able to see her from now on and would relax since he'd seen her.

Emerging from the infirmary, she grinned over at Eden, ever so slightly, before making her way over to Krii once more. Not giving him much chance to say anything, she placed her hand on the back of his head, pulling him in for a deep, slightly rougher kiss. After a moment, she released him, nipping his lip with one of her fangs. Still grinning as she stepped back from him, she turned, walking off towards their room. Her eyes still glinting mischievously as she walked, she turned the corner, and disappeared from sight.
[exit to Krii and Kerrigan's Room]

Skiaska gagged a bit at the smell, but assumed everything was... okay. After all, Sethe and Kerri were making out. Her eyes turned a bit and she saw somethng that made her bristle. Kiriyama. She moved towards him quickly, eyes taking in everything else as well. "Why the HELL is this place a ********' battleground?" She bent down to Kiriyama and whimpered. "Kiri... Kiriyama... Are you alright? Hun?" He didn't respond and Skiaska worried a bit. She tunred to Sethe, who hadn't moved yet. "Why is there so much death, in a place of protection? What happened? Sethe... OMEGA. Do you know why my family and friend are dead, dying, are in pain... What did my mate do to make yo angry? I, as your subordinate,am asking for an answer..." Skiaska bit her lip and then let out a breathy sigh.

((Sorry for my delay, had a reeeeeaaal busy week.))
Tokeru returned to the room, to see Skiaska asking.
"My fault I fear, anger caused by death, such a sorrowful sight. Revenge is powerful, anger more so. Pain and suffering eased by the sight of a dead enemy, or a dead annoyance. The life of all, held in the hands of one, and strength to all."
Walking among the dead hunters he killed, he shed a tear. "death without life, wasted for my sins. The sorrow will be felt, who will take the blame?"
For reasons he could not understand, he felt the urge to kill and kill and kill, he assumed it had something to do with the experiments performed on him. Little did he know that during those experiments, they were all designed to do two things, bring out his own latent abilities, and free his alter-ego. Free Nergal, they succeeded in both, but the results were not something anyone could have expected. Tokeru was still fighting Nergal, although he did it unknowingly, which is why his mind was so broken, and his latent abilities were manifesting, but again, they were results of Nergal, and since he was being caged, so were the abilities.
Tokeru could still think clearly, but for some reason, whenever he wanted to put those thoughts into words, they came out like that. Rhymes and phrases of gibberish that made some sense, but not enough. His emotions as well were being toyed with, Negal ruling one side, and making him want to kill everything, Tokeru ruling the other and although he still wanted to kill everything, he wanted to find out what happened to him, and find his fiance. Speaking of his fiance, she had been there just a few minutes ago.
"Has dove flown the coop. Where has she gone? Run away to be free? or caged by the evil ones. Latter will die, and former will be missed."

((Sorry for my absense, work has been hell latly.))
Kiryama shook his head and slowly sat up. He had been knocked out ofr a while.He saw his love right next to him.He slowly got to his feet and heard what she was saying."Calm down. It wasnt the Omega that did this. I invited Eden and Tokeru to come here. Tokeru freaked out and killed five hunters and injured Gale. Myself and Eden tryed to stop him. We probly would have died had it not been for Krii'Ouse coming in and stopping him himself."

Tokeru laughed at Kiriyama. "Beasts do not kill those who fight back. Mind frozen by grief, is a mind which is weak. It is easy to kill the weak, and even easer to be destroyed by it."
What he meant to say was 'I'm not gonna fight him, i found my love' but for his fragile and shaken mind, it had come out like that.

"What I menat, love, was that you have an energy residue on you still. Thank you for clarifying... But... What the hell is Tokeru saying?" Skiaska blinked wearily. Riddles were too much fo rher mind a that moment.
