Basket Case Insanity I thought that was obvious from the first moment he fell unconscious in the park? LOLOL Huhuhu. Also, now she can choose a scary movie!  Artie Hopper
Artie didn't notice at all that Korosu would sneakily move closer and closer to him as they watched the movie. It was to the point when the movie ended, their shoulders were almost touching. 'It was definitely a good movie.' He thought to himself as his hands were on his lap. It was at that moment when he felt a cool sensation on the top of his hand causing his face to stiffen a bit as he slowly looked down. What he saw was Korosu's hand on his and he looked at her from the corner of his eyes and saw how close she suddenly was. 'Oh no... I was so hoping that this wouldn't have been the case. But, it looks like I was right.' He thought quickly, his expression unchanging, though he did become a bit pale. "A-Anyway, m-maybe we should put in another movie?" He said nervously as he got up and got the DVD out of the DVD player. One could easily mistake his action as him playing hard to get or being shy. "W-Would you like to choose the next movie, Korosu?" He asked with a light cramped smile.

 (( Aw yis. )) Korosu saw his face go pale and realized he wasn't having it. She sighed mentally before nodding to his first question. "Another movie would be wonderful." Let's see if he has anything scary with a bunch of jumpscares. She thought before getting up and walking over to his movies. She looked up and down for the perfect movie. In the process Korosu would see some of her favorite movies and it would take every muscle in her body not to choose it, she needed the perfect one with what she was looking for. "How about a classic ?" She asked, holding up the old movie Carrie. Korosu remembered some parts of the film, it was perfect. Korosu stood up and handed him the film. "You wouldn't mind, right ?" She smiled brightly, sitting back at the other side of the couch. Xo was catching on to her little plan and chuckled to himself. Ha, she isn't as stupid as I thought. Maybe I can help. Xo would now pay close attention and jump in where he seemed needed.

Artie Hopper
Artie was a bit relieved that the matter about her moving her hand onto his wasn't discussed, so he felt it was best not to mention it. He watched as she looked through the movies he had on his shelf, he had actually quite the collection, a lot of them that he hadn't had the chance to watch yet. He tilted his head a bit at her request for a classic before holding up the movie Carrie. He took it and looked at it, "A scary a movie huh..?" He muttered as he looked at it as he thought for a moment. Surprisingly, despite his fear of women, he never felt any fear from women on TV, though it could be because he knew that they couldn't jump out of the TV so he could watch shows and movies without a problem. But, also because of his fear of women, or possibly another reason, he doesn't get scared by anything else, even jump scares don't even startle him, something that he never really understood. "Hmm, alright then." He replied with a light smile as he watched her sit on the far side of the couch as he went and put in the movie and started it. He went back to the couch and sat in the spot he sat in and started to watch the movie, though he occasionally looked over at Korosu from the corner of his eyes since he was a bit wary. As evidenced by his earlier thoughts, the scary parts of the movie didn't affect him in anyway, not even a light startle.

(( Aw yis. )) During the movie, it was difficult for Korosu to act scared, she's seen the movie a thousand times and horror movies were always her favorite. The blood and gore, even torture excited her, it would just bring a giant smile to her face, but she held back everything and waited for the perfect moments, only to sadly miss them every time. She began to grow angry with herself, she just wanted to grow close to the boy. Why was this so difficult ? Korosu noticed he wasn't scaring as well. Probably doesn't phase him either. I have such brilliant ideas, she thought sarcastically, Hm, maybe I'm not out yet. Korosu leaned over and lightly tapped his shoulder, "A-Artie ? D-Do you mind if I cling to you a bit ? I-I'm getting kinda scared..." Korosu lied, faking her little stutter as well.

Basket Case Insanity I literally just woke up at 4:30 am and in my sleepy stupor, hand washed all the dirty dishes. Artie Hopper
Artie felt rather relieved when he saw that she hadn't started to move towards him again, though he did see her make a lot of weird expressions on her face during the scary parts of the movie. He had started to relax a fair bit as he watched the movie as soon as he felt that she didn't seem like she would do anything. But, lady luck seems to enjoy watching him squirm like the sadist she is because he soon felt a tap on his shoulder and turned his head to the now close Korosu, causing the boy to tense up a bit as she spoke with a light stutter. He became even more tense at her words as she spoke about being scared and wanting to cling to him. For him, the inner conflict he was going through was one side of him wanted to run away and hide and the other side felt that he should oblige since she helped him so much. "A-Alright... g-g-go a-ahead.." He replied with a stutter of his own as the grateful side won out. He only needed to survive through the rest of the movie, but unfortunately, they were not even halfway through it yet.

(( o n o Damn dude, )) Korosu cheered internally, she didn't expect that to go smoothly. Though she could see she made him tense with her request. Hesitant, she slowly wrapped her arms around his torso and rested her head on his chest. Korosu felt bad for making the boy uncomfortable, she could feel his heart beating a bit quickly. As bad as she felt, Korosu wasn't giving up this moment. If things worsened in him, she'd consider letting go. Occasionally she'd give his torso a little squeeze to help convince him she was honestly scared. This is working perfectly, now to just fake your way through the movie. She thought. Xo chuckled to himself as he slowly slithered around Artie's neck. He wanted a better view, of the movie of course. "Enjoying the movie, Artie ?" Xo asked him, nuzzling his neck.

Amos finally reached the apartment complex that Kat had told him about. Getting to the apartment was a bit of a challenge, if Amos did say so himself. He had had the authorities called on him several times, was almost never served his meal at the pizza takeout restaurant. It all on the account of the hunter being visibly armed. It probably didn't help to be one of the most densely populated cities of fey and supernatural folk and carrying a sword that emitted a powerful demonic aura. That wasn't to say Amos was the evil one. Many of the people around him simply shied away or parted the waves of the Red Sea.
After dealing with police and the like, the hunter reached the metro style apartment. Figuring it would be rude to enter with food, the aging man munched on the last slice of his pepperoni pizza. Apartment number three, floor one. Easy enough to find. The hunter wiped his mouth clean of any pizza grease before giving a few rasping knocks on the door. Arthur Hopper. The aging hunter began to wonder what exactly this person would look like. Perhaps strong capable person, or maybe smart young fellow who had a tinge of wizardry in his blood. After all, who else could command a pack of shadowy wolves?

Leprechaun_Sean Amos is gonna be so disappointed. Basket Case Insanity Yep, also lololcockblocked Artie Hopper Artie tensed up a fair bit more as she slowly wrapped her arms around his torso and rested her head on his chest. At this point, the poor boy's face was rather pale from fear, he wanted nothing better than just to run or at least something to get him out of this situation. His heartbeat was rather rapid as he remained still, unable to watch the movie as she held him, sometimes squeezing a bit. 'Please, please something happen so that I can get out of this situation!' He begged in his mind, already on the verge of tears as the scarf slithered around his neck. "Xo, I will throw you in a dryer if you had something to do with this." Artie whispered silently and tensely so only the scarf could hear. It was at this point there was knocking on the door to his apartment, 'OH THANK GOD. I'M SORRY IF I HAVE EVER DOUBTED YOU!' He thought happily in his mind after hearing the knock. "L-Let me go see who that is!" He said to Korosu quickly as he paused the movie and manoeuvred out of Korosu's grip and quickly went to the door after carefully pulling Xo off and giving him to Korosu. He breathed a bit to calm himself before opening the door, "Yes? Hello?" He said as he looked at the male with a sword on his back. "Ah. It's Amos. Come on in." He said with a light smile, remembering the man from when he saw him through his wolves' eyes and let the man in. "Why are you here?" He asked the man curiously with a tilt of his head, it was also clear that this boy wasn't even intimidated by the menacing sword that Amos had. He then remembered Korosu and started to introduce them, "Ah, also this is Korosu, a friend of mine. Korosu, this is Amos. He's an acquaintance." He said with a light smile, the boy didn't introduce Xo because he wasn't sure if the scarf wanted to be known.

(( I'm crying on the inside, I really am. ; - ; I really did get cockblocked. Wow.)) Korosu let go of him as he rushed over to the door. She sighed, sitting up right on the couch and crossed her arms. Hn. Why did someone have to visit now ? How annoying. Korosu thought, staring straight ahead at the paused screen. The girl listen to Artie's introduction, not caring who visited. She was a bit angered by the interruption. Korosu never looked back to see who was here nor greeted them. It was another life form, she hated people. Korosu's attitude was back from when Artie first met her. The girl was quiet and looked angry at the world. Interrupting my Artie time, that's the closest I've gotten to him since our little incident. Korosu adjusted Xo as the little ball snickered. Artie was smart not to mention Xo, Korosu only showed him when in certain situations or she's comfortable around the person. She failed to notice Artie wasn't stuttering anymore, and Xo was surprised he introduced this Amos character with ease since he was now talking to her.

Amos braced himself as he heard footsteps. They seemed light. The hunter wondered if this Arthur was a father. Then the door opened and all of Amos' expectations crumbled. It was a young boy. Just barely into college from the looks of it. Innocent eyed and simple. Most of all, absolutely ordinary looking. Irony had struck yet again. I need to stop having high expectations. The hunter thought. "I presume you are Mr. Hopper?" Amos inquired rhetorically before being introduced to Arthur's other house guest. It was girl with long white white and peculiar eyes. These weren't what really caught Amos' attention though. It was the moving scarf and the glowing marks on the girl's body.
There definitely something strange about this girl. Maybe dangerous. Amos looked to Arthur, who appeared to be innocently oblivious to everything around him. Or perhaps he was just relieved. Upon closer inspection, the hunter could see that the boy looked a little relieved. Did something happen? "Charmed, I'm sure. Do you mind if I take a seat, Mr. Hopper? I've been on my feet since this morning and I would really like to take a rest before discussing something quite urgent with you."

Artie Hopper Artie sighed lightly when Korosu didn't even greet Amos. But, one thing he did notice about Amos was that he seemed quite disappointed about something. As he was wondering why Amos could be disappointed, the boy felt a shiver go down his spine. "Yeah, I'm Arthur, or Artie Hopper.." He replied with a nod as he looked to Amos. "Yes, please, have a seat." He added with a smile as he led Amos and Korosu to the kitchen table and once Amos had sat down, the boy sat across from him and waited till Korosu was seated before he started to speak. "So, I'm guessing this discussion will be about Lily?" Artie asked the man as his face turned into a scowl as he thought of that woman who tried to kidnap him, chased him around, and threatened to hurt innocent people. It was obvious by the look on the boy's face that he didn't like her very much.

(( CRIES. AMOS IS MY BAE, DANTE. )) Korosu wasn't sure what exactly was going on, she took a seat at the table and stayed silent. A little frown upon her face as she examined Amos. The girl hid Xo in her lap. making sure he never moved, and covered her hands in her cardigan. Korosu didn't like anyone seeing her markings, especially a stranger. Korosu looked a bit confused, trying to hide it, when the name Lily was mentioned. "Who's Lily ?" She blurted. Korosu wanted to keep quiet during the conversation to hopefully get an understand of the event taking place. Korosu moved her glance over to Artie, expecting him to explain, lightly tapping her fingers on the table. Korosu used her free hand to rest her head in her palm, her mood appearing to be apathetic. On the inside, she became a little annoyed before remembering she does barely know the lad. Maybe she was barking up a tree that was already reserved ? She didn't want to think of that possibility, not yet.

Amos followed Arthur inside what should have been called his house instead of apartment. As Amos learned from reading a newspaper, the people of Janhall had the option of upgrading their homes with a spell that manipulated the spatial features of the inside rooms. It reminded the hunter of an old item he used to carry. Amos was lead into the kitchen of Arthur's home where he then took a seat, setting his sword against the edge of the table. The ominous sword's sharp spined back even stuck out when in its specially made sheathed. Perhaps the hunter would think of a name for the blade one day.
Once seat, Arthur spoke of Lily right off the bat. Amos hadn't even mentioned why he was here. Despite being attack by the self-proclaimed death god, he smiled. "Yes. Lily Aides. I was recently attacked by her. Judging from your disdainful expression, I can assume be both share a mutual enemy." The aging man breathed sigh, darting eyes back and forth between the boy sitting across from him and the white haired girl. It was when Korosu spoke up, did he turn his attention to the girl. "Lily is a very dangerous individual with the power to control the dead. She was long thought to be dead." Amos said folding his hands on the table. "According to an old Greek legend, Lily sold her soul to Hades, the Greek god of the dead. Hades lent her the power to control the dead in order to fight and win a war and save her homeland. Lily did save her homeland, but then Hades came to collect and took her soul. But, you and I both know that isn't true, right, Mr. Hopper?" The hunter turned his head to the young man with serious look.
"And that is why I'm here. I'm here to ask if you know anything else of Miss Aides that could help me. A sociopath such as herself is extremely dangerous and she seems to be seeking destructive power to further whatever goal she might have. Arthur, I need you to tell me anything you might know about her. Anything at all. From what I know, you've been in contact with and yet you're still alive. She may also be targeting you. I can't very well let you come into harm's way on account of that." The old mercenary leaned back in his chair, relaxing ever so slightly, but keeping his hands on the table. He knew little of Mr. Hopper. Amos hoped he would be cooperative this time, unlike in previous instances when was asked to meet in Old Acres.

Artie Hopper Artie looked over at Korosu after she had sat down and questioned who Lily was. Before he could answer that question, he felt a light shiver down his spine for some reason again making him have a slightly confused look for a moment as Amos answered the question instead. "A mutual enemy..? Hmm, I can't say that is wrong. For me, it's more like I want to have nothing to do with her." He replied with a light sigh. He blinked a bit at Amos's request of receiving any information the boy had on the woman and that she may be targeting him. "Yeah, I'm still alive because I keep running away from her. I'm only in Janhall because I was running from her. As for information, sure. Let's see... If I were to best describe her... She's a perverted stalker. That person started to follow me around for some reason or another just because I picked up her dropped wallet and gave it to her. The stalking part wasn't really much of a problem, it's when it really started to escalate is when it became a problem. Even recently, she was threatening people in the hospital I was at getting my prescription medication. The threat being that I had to join her and find you. Obviously I tricked her after warning you through my wolves, though she wasn't happy, she did leave the hospital focused on finding you, so sorry for essentially throwing you under the bus for that. As for whether she's targeting me or not, the answer is yes, she is targeting me. It was at first for a romance, but now she wants to kill me all because I made her true character and abilities known on the internet and getting the attention of Janhall's authorities, so that they'd be prepared. But, I know she won't try to attack me because even I've noticed that she has a slight fear of my wolves for some reason. As to the Greek Legend, there is an old story about a girl who was given power from Hades, but in turn laid a trap with Persephone for him when he came to collect the debt of her soul and they pushed him into the river of souls, but I think he'll get out at some point, just not any time soon. That's all I really know." Artie explained what he knew and his own speculations on Lily as he looked at Amos. "She is a person I am not going to try to find, but if she comes to me, I won't hold back." He added with a smile as he made his intentions clear.

Korosu sat in silence, paying close attention to the conversation both men were having. She gave a little nod when Amos answered her question. A perverted stalker that now wants him dead ? Oh fun. She stopped tapping her fingers and let out a little sigh. This girl isn't coming near my Artie. He's mine, now it'll give me a reason to stick by him even more. The story they told of the woman interested Korosu, she realized it wouldn't be easy. So she could control the dead, Korosu was an unstable demon. It'd probably be a decent match up, not to mention she wouldn't give in so easily. Nothing could stop her if it meant keeping the boy she likes safe. Korosu rubbed her temples, letting out another sigh. It relieved her to know Artie could take care of himself, but she did fear when he'd fall ill. The girl put in no comment and stayed silent, letting the two continue their conversion. Korosu was surprised she was even included in the conversation, it seemed important. Her expression still remained apathetic.
