Kane walked through the crowd of humans, careful to make sure he didn't cut anyone with the spikes on his arms. As he walked he heard insults and slurs about Underlings but when he looked at the human saying them he would mutter and turn away. Kane lifted a clawed hand to the nob on his goggles and turned it slightly, letting a little more light in. As he walked he kept his tail curled around his waist so it wouldn't hit any of the humans. A familiar smell drifted through the crowds and he stopped suddenly, causing a human to walk into his back. He turned and said "My appoligies, sir." Looking up at him the human muttered a few choice insults and then walked around Kane. Shaking his head he then easily looked over the heads of the humans around him, trying to find the origins of the scent.

Lianna helped up Fin and glared at the man. She hissed at him and the man continued walking. "Nice to meet you Fin. I'm Lianna." She smiled. The humans continued to make insults under their breath. Lianna hissed at them and they back up but continued with the muttering of insults. She looked back at Fin. "Are you alright?"

Fin gratefully took Lianna's help and gave her a surprised look. "Me? Oh, yeah, I'm fine," She said , "I'm used to it now. I guess it happens to me more often 'cause I don't wear a cloak." Fin paused and looked at her surroundings carefully, a habit that she got into when she had first came to the city. More angry humans were gathering around them. Fin looked back to the other two girls. "Do you guys have somewhere safe to go to? It looks like the humans are getting a little rowdy, we might have to leave." Fin said with a slight smile.

((Russian? Is that what it is? I just heard it in passing on one of my shows... sweatdrop Wait a kentucky-fried second. If I'm not worldly, what does that make me? Otherworldly? *creepy background music*))
Julie smiled at Fin, but didn't have time to reply, as Fin fell at her feet. She jumped back, startled by the unexpected contact with her claws. Lianna, the furry-smelling girl that had protected her, helped the other one, who she gathered was Fin, to her feet and Julie smiled apologetically, wishing she had the courage to take off her blindfold. But the sunlight would hurt. She kept it on. Fin's mention or "rowdy human" brought to her attention the extraordinary insults being thrown their way. "I agree." She said softly, then flashed a smile at her companions. "My name is Artemis, by the way." We can work on nicknames later. Someone, most likely human, shoved her again, and Julie staggered, her claws scraping across the cobblestones as she struggled to keep her footing.

Lianna was furious with the humans. "I just got here. But I should have stayed home." A little boy was about to throw fruit but when Lianna glared at him, he dropped it. "Wherever we go we need to leave fast. I don't trust these humans. One moment they're throwing insults the next, who knows. Maybe weapons. We better leave now. Anyone know where we could go?" Lianna asked.

Kane spotted three Underlings starting to get surrounded by humans. That doesn't look healthy.. he thought to himself as he made his way toward the Underlings. Trying to avoid pushing or shoving to get through the crowd he tried to make his way to them. Kane sighed and realized a poliet excuse me would go unheard, so he looked at the human infront of him and put his hands on his shoulders and picked him up gently, putting him down beside him. Kane ignored the look of pure hatred he was given and then continued to make his way, this time pushing through the crowd. Once he arrived he heard Lianna ask if anyone knew where they could go. Kane then said "If you three need a place to stay, I know of a place." He heard a sound like something being thrown through the air and turned to catch it. He realized it was a rock and dropped it on the ground. "I would suggest following me before they start attacking us." he added after he dropped the rock.

Ken caught up with Fin and the other Underlings. "I didn't know that there were other Underlings here." he said. "Small world, huh Fin?"

Kouri watched from his perch above the massive mass. The old balcony wouldn't be able to hold his weight for much longer. He slipped down onto the actual floor, startling a few human watchers, witnessing the disturbance below.
"Pardon me." He said, giving a gentle smile. The onlookers were simply a pair of children, a brother and sister, no more than seven each. His intrusion certainly startled them. They backed away, and kept their eyes on him. He couldn't imagine what was wrong, except maybe for the six foot long clothed weapon on his back. One of the blades had become unwrapped, the metal glimmering in the sun. "Oh, is it scaring you?" He gave a smile, careful not to scare them, he didn't need problems. His attention was on the disturbance, below but if the children screamed... oh. He didn't even want to think of it.
He looked over the intricate guard railing. It wan't much higher than his waist. Then again, he only stood at a height of five foot seven. So it was a little over his stomach. He watched the few try to get out of the crowd. It was getting dangerous. He turned to the children. He stood up, not noticing how his weapon was now revealed. The wrappings had fallen off completely in his distraction. "Now, I wasn't here ok?" He stood up, now noticing the wrappings laying about him. "s**t..." He bent down, collecting the clothe.
The childrens eyes bulged in terror. Not everyday they saw a long poled weapon... with one of the ends covered in blood. They let out a scream...

((Holy crap. eek This is going to get messy...))
Julie opened her mouth to answer the newcomer's offer, wondering where all these Underlings were coming from, when a child screamed. That set the whole crowd around them into motion, and it seemed to Julie as though the world had just exploded. People yelling and screaming, throwing things and hitting out at the bodies around them. Julie's staff was in her hands in seconds, and she swatted out at the humans, pushing them away and trying to clear a space for her companions and careful not to strike anything that smelled like Under. She soon found herself back-to-back with the other two Underling girls, Lianna and Fin. Both had tails, and she wrapped her own dextile fifth limb around theirs. "Does anyone have a plan?" She yelled to the others over the noise, knocking a human away with the butt of her staff. She dared not bring the blades into play, lest she injure someone unintentionally. A rock stung her temple as she swung around to crack another human over the head. We need to think of something fast!

Lianna stood still and swatted at the rocks. Each one was pushed aside. She closed her eyes and concentrated. The wind began to pick up speed. Lianna could feel the wind swirl around her. Her eyes shot open again and the wind blew toward the crowd blowing everyone back. She looked at Kane. "I suggest you show to this place of yours before they get back up."

Ken faced the crowed and gripped his sword. "Fin, you and the others get out of here, I will hold them off." he said as he fully drew his sword.

Kane looked at Ken's sword, "Put that thing away and follow me." he said with disgust. He then looked around and then started walking toward the crowd of humans. He looked at them with a flat stare and cracked his knuckles. The humans looked at him startled and then looked at the spikes on his arms. They started backing up and he started forward, "Follow me." he said shortly to the underlings and walked forward, through the humans. Kane made sure they were following and then turned into a near ally way, he followed it for a little before turning right. At the end of the ally was a door. He opened it and said "This is an empty building, I use it as shelter."

Lianna followed Kane and glared at every human. Each one stepped back. Mothers grabbed their children for protection. The walked down an alley way. "Let's just hope no humans follow us in there."

Ken sheathed his sword and let out a weak smile. "We are not bad people, we just need to defend ourselves." He said to the humans.

Fin ran after Lianna and Kane, looking more than a little nervous to be surrounded by so many angry humans. One man glared at her and tossed a rock at her head and Fin ducked in order to avoid it. "Would you mind?!" She snarled angrily, making the man back away. With a satisfied huff, Fin marched off and walked down the alley to where Lianna and Kane were standing. "So what are we going to do now?" She said.
