MSN RP with JAY: Part One

Getting Luthor into his warm, winter clothing was one thing... sure he hated them and would rather walk around in just pants if he could get away with it but he knew that going outside meant getting bundled up. Pepper on the other hand... was far different, he was... less understanding when it came to trying to get him into warm items... It was a bit of a struggle to even get him into pants most days let along a coat, gloves, a hand... and on top of that things that went around his chest had to be several sizes big so that they could fit over those bone structures of his, "Come on now, we just need to get you into your coat and hat and then we can go and play outside... a lot of room for you two to run." And nobody for them to run across that might cause problems...

Techs were annoying, they got under Almas's skin and he felt the overwhelming and very unangelic desire to give them a swift beating... While it seemed it was a nice thing for him to have these two littles to look after, it seemed to bring out a bad side in him as he felt willing to do most anything to protect them. More so now that that damned woman had to whisper vemomous words to them about how they weren't meant to even have been born.
Luthor was leaning against the wall, watching the other to and was doing his best to keep from giggling... Pepper all bundled up in his winter clothing looked... funny.

Pepper was growling and he snapped at Almas's hand every time it came close. He hated clothes...hated them more than anything in the world. He had watched in mild amusment Luthor doning on allt he ridiculous gear...and then when it came to his turn it was like a cat trying to escape a bath. The claws came out, he hissed he scratched and he even attempted to rip the stuff off of him. Which... worked until the gloves came on...and now he felt all awkward. So he resorted to teeth. Sharp pointy teeth he was currently gnawing on a part that covered his shoudler bones awkwardly.

"No clothes...clothes bad!" He growled the phrase over and over as if expecting Almas to take the things off of him that instant.

Almas gave him a smile, ever patient as he tried to avoid the teeth and claws best that he could so that he could zip up the coat, "I know, Luthor seems to dislike them too but... it won't be fun at all for either of you to freeze off any of your important bits you know." He said this as he pulled Pepper's hat on him, "You will appreciate the clothing when your out playing in the snow."

Luthor pushed away from the wall when it seemed that Pepper was all ready... though he was still trying to bite at his coat which looked a bit amusing to the white haired spawn, "Come on Pepper, we will never get to play if you argue with him."

Pepper glared at Luthor and he shifted o the spot. "Not com...comfertable." He managed to say, his vocabularly was getting better..though his sentances still seeemed choppy.
"Not like. Why go outside? LIke playing inside." he grumbeled folding his mittened hands across his chest. He gave a heavy sigh and finally trudged towards Luthor waddling like a penguin.

"Fine...get over with." He muttered looking very cross.

Amas gave a smile, "Good boys." He said, walking forward to take the lead, opening up the door for them, "Playing outside will give you a lot of room to run without the worry of running into anyone that we would rather not deal with." He told Pepper.

Luthor gave a smile as he watched Pepper walk toward him and a to funny gait. He did his best to keep from grinning to much, "Yes, lets go." He said more then happy to follow along at Pepper's side, just behind their mother as they made their way from the room, down the long hallways that would lead them to the door that went outside. He gave a huge smile when he saw that the snow had fallen again... and that some poor fool had been forced to shovel the white stuff up into big piles on either side of the walk way. He felt the overwhelming urge to knock the piles back into the freshly shoveled path...

It would be Pepper's first adventure outside. In fact he had looked out windows...but never really ared much for the large expanses of white. In fact he normally found it boring. Now...being forced to go out there he found himself a bit overwhelmed by the expanse of space. Yes...so much space to run around in. But...these clothes were just...in the way! Looking to Luthor in a dubious manner he sighed and noticed a cloud form in front of him. Tilting his head to tried to catch it but failed. He then looked back over to Luthor and then the shoveled walk way. He wondered why the whitestuff didn't go there...trundling along he moved down th steps awkwardly before finally stopping in front of a snow drift. He kicked at it with a foot before looking back to Luthor and Almas. "Now ?"

Almas gave a smile, "Now you two run off some of that energy that you seemed to have in bulk." He said, sitting down on the front steps glad to see that they had been shoveled off as well. He leaned back against the door and watched as the two ventured forward and felt so... very relaxed. There was nothing better then that contented feeling he got when he was watching over them. It had been a feeling he had been missing when he was a true angel, one he'd had when doing little tasks for Vampy like preparing his tea and treats.
Luthor gave a smile as he trotted forward to the pile of snow, looking over, walking back and forth in front of it... then leaned against it and set to trying to push it over.

Pepper watched as Luthor was trying to push the snow bank over. He tilted his head...confused. What was the point of this? He himself desired to see the toehr side. Moving he started to clamber up the snow bank only to slide back down. Annoying to continued on his merry way until he tottered on the top only to tumble down the other side. An explosion of snow from where he hit, he looked a bit dazed before he finally shook his head and then began to plow through the snow on his knees and hands.

Luthor paused in his attempts to ruin the newly shoveled walkway when Pepper went climbing up the pile... he didn't exactly want to bury his friend after all. So instead he climbed up after hm, curious as to what he was planning on doing... then gave a squeak when he first slid down and then ended up falling over the otherside. Luthor looked over the side, "You okay?" He asked... though figured he had to be alright since he was back up a moment later. Peppered seemed really tough he thought to himself, able to bounce back from most anything... well aside from maybe that epic battle against the chair.

Pepper didn't respond as the answer was quite clear. Yeah he was fun..took more than a tumble to knock him over. Bored with plowing the snow he looked back at the 'road' he had made with his body and smiled. he then sat down and examined the white stuff.. please to find that for whatever reason you could form balls with it. He made one...and bit into it....his face looking most umpleasant at how cold it was. And it tasted like ...nothing. Actually it reminded him of water...how boring. Looking at the snow ball in his mittened hand he then tossed it in Luthor's direction for fun.

The white haired spawn gave a sound of surprise when a snow ball came his way, attempting to dodge which only ended up with him flailing and falling off the side of the hill to roll down to where he had started from. The boy blinked a couple times, shook off, then set to crawling back up the hill again. When he made it to the top he decided that he needed to retaliate in turn... as such once he had a good seat that he was sure he wouldn't fall from he set to making a snow ball of his own to throw Pepper's way.

Pepper was already making another snow ball...taking a bite out of it and then throwing it behind him. as if he expected the snow to taste different, suddenly he was pelted with a lump of snow. Blinking he shook his head the ice clinging to the side of his face wher ethe weird rock shapes were forming . Growling he hurridely picked up a lump of snow and chucked it back. But because it wasn't pack it just flew in every direction and didn't go far. Annoyed he picked up one of his discarded bitten snow balls and threw it back.

There was the unmistakeable sound of Luthor's laughter as he saw the snow had not only hit its mark but it was stuck to Pepper as well... he couldn't help it, hsi giggles getting worse when his companion tried to throw back snow that didn't get all that far, snow that sort of... floated back to the ground because ti was so light. His giggles were ceased when he took a half eaten snow ball to the chest...

He then set to making an even bigger snow ball, setting it in front of himself to pack lots of snow onto it before giving it a shove that sent it rolling down the small hill toward the other spawn.

Pepper didn't move as he spotted the ball coming towards him. Instead he shifted as if to shoulder the snowball. His bones could take the weight. Of course..it...didn't really go far enough to gather momentum and stopped a few feet away from him. Dissapointed he moved over to the snwo ball and picked i tup and tried to awkwardly throw it. he failed as it ended up exploding a few feet away from himself. Grumblnig he then went to charge back up the hill as if to tackle Luthor.

Luthor looked... disapointed as well when the ball came up rather short. He starred at it, as if willing it forward... that didn't seem to work either. Instead the ball was lifted up and thrown... somewhat in his direction only to get destroyed when ti hit the hill. He lifted his hands up to smother a giggle fit... then squeak and scrambled up to his feet to try to run away from Pepper who seemed to be done with throwing and snow and wanting to get into a wrestling match instead.

Pepper loved physical contact and he was encouraged to chase after Luthor with leaps and bounds. If he was able to with all that snow gear on. But all this wrestling with the snow and the layers of clothes were making him warm. Huffing he shook his head and removed his hat. It was annoying anyway. Tossing it aside he continued after the boy.

Luthor looked over his shoulder to check where his friend was at, wanting to try to keep a couple steps ahead of him since he had many sharp claws and teeth that weren't that fun to get tangled up in... of course his watching after Pepper instead of watching where he was going didn't seem like the best of ideas a moment later he'd landed face first in the snow after tripping over his own feet.

Pepper gave a cheer of war as he toppeled on top of Luthor in a heap. Yes he hated these damn clothes. They made him slow and awkward. But he was laughing as he bit onto Luthor's hat and tugged on it.

Luthor gave a squeak, looking over his shoulder as the other boy not only was able to tackle him but was also able to catch hold of his hat as well... he gave a silent prayer for the soon to be dead hat as it got tugged on and chewed on. Then gave a grin, glad that it was just the hat and not his head...

Pepper grinned as he tore the hat off his head and then headbutted the kid in the back. Pain seemed...to be short lived in the boy, and he love to rough house. He tried to wrap his arms around Luthor and pin him tot he ground.

The other spawn set to trying to struggle out of his hold when eh got a headbutt to the back, glad for the bit of protection offered to him from heavy clothing then gave a little, grumpy sound... given their position he couldn't seem to get any traction at all... flailed a bit... and then gave a huffing sound, "Come on Pepper... not fair!" He complained, giving another little flail but seemed to be stuck.

The Deer Woman

The hound...it smelled something...tasty. It sniffed the air knowing it wasn't sent back because its master wasn't sure if he would still be needed...it cost his master a lot to summon him...and he knew the children were off limits...an annoyed growl rumbled from its chest, but he could not dis-obey. He couldn't figure out why the demon wouldn't allow it...he didn't seem to like them in the least. Still he smelled something...different while he patrolled the perimeter and the creature paused and it soon figured out the scent. He barreled forward into the trees around the perimeter ad dear like creature suddenly exploded from its hiding spot, silent, erringly like a ghost its hooves moved across the ground and bolted towards the seven of seven compound.

She sent out a doleful wail which changed to a scream as she felt the hot breath o her flanks the claws reaching out for her. She bucked in fear before finally managing to avoid death by lightly jumping the fence and disappearing into the bushes. He paused her scent suddenly gone..but the blood...he could smell it. Soon..he would find it again.

Luthor had scrambled out of Pepper's grasp and was dashing along, his feet kicking up mud in all directions as he ran along giggling. The game was rough but he was starting to get used to Pepper's way of playing, was even getting good at it. He slid to a stop, turning to look over his shoulder to see how far behind him Pepper was at the moment.

Pepper hissed as Luthor managed to escape hie clutches again, though he couldn't deny he was having fun more fun than he had for a while. He didn't care that he was covered in mud as he mock roared and chased after Luthor with little hesitation.
"Gon get you!" He shouted happily.

The once white haired boy gave a squeak and started to run again, giggling as he went. He couldn't help but enjoy the game, it was funny to stay just a step ahead of his friend, it seemed to both aggravate Pepper when he did so but he seemed to be quite enthusiastic about it none the less.

"Haha! You won't catch me this time!" He called back as he ran.

Pepper only scowled and then lept forward in a sprint. He had energy to spare being cooped up inside he reached out his hands to catch onto Luthor's shirt.

"haH!" He shouted triumph when suddenly he stopped dead. Yanking his friend with his sudden stop with him. He recognized that smell.....Blood?

"Smell like closet.." He pointed out remembering the vaguely obscured bloody scene of the closet they were not allowed to look at early that day.

Luthor slid to a halt and turned around to face Pepper trying to figure out if he were trying a new tactic in trying to trick him to catch him... then realized that he wasn't exactly that smart. He wouldn't figure out how trick another person he was more the hands on sort, "Smells like the closet? What? Blood?" He asked, not as sensitive to such things as Pepper was. He set to looking around in the area to see if there was any signs of blood that could be seen.

Pepper looked confused, "Smell...same but..not." He explained as best he could with his limiting speech. Crouching he made himself lover to the ground and sniffed about his pupils were huge like a cat trying to see in the dark.

"hmmm...t..this way.." He mused a moment as be sniffed out the blood and banked to the right sharply. He kept on going until he suddenly stopped up short his face furrowing in distaste.

"Nother smell..not..blood..smell bad...like..burning." He murmured wondering where that came from he looked to Luthor wondering if he had any idea.

Luthor fell into step next to his friend and left the blood hound job to Pepper who seemed to be more suited to it, "Burning?" He murmured, looking back and forth. He didn't know a scent like that but if it were something that Pepper would label as 'bad' it worried the small boy greatly, "Maybe... we should go find Daddy, have him help us." He didn't want to face scary things alone.

Pepper scowled and turned his head to look at Luthor with an incredulous look. "Scared?" He asked bluntly and a bit teasingly. "Other scent still here...this way...other scent that way." He pointed to the right where the sweeter blood smell was and then left to where the burning scent was. Though..that scent just seemed to fill the area rather than made a trail..

He shook his head rapidly, "No! I am not scared." He said before looking in the way his friend pointed, "Want to look?" They weren't allowed to look earlier, had been chased off by Techs telling them that despite the scent of blood in the air so strong that even Luthor could smell it that there was nothing to see, nothing going on. Nobody was there to stop them from looking first this time...

Pepper nodded his head quickly. Yes he did want to investigate. It smelt like blood..but different. He stalked forward eager to show how brave he was. Foolish but brave. They had only gone a few feet when suddenly She flitted out of the bush so fast it was like she was a ghost. She was limping, blood on her flank showed the reason for the limp....she was ghostly and beautiful...her lower half was of a deer a young one with white spots fading against her purple like fur. She had antlers, small ones her hair was...pale blond her eyes looked like they were glazed over she paused mid stop her gaze flickering towards the two small figures before her and then froze still....like a statue.

Luthor gave a jolt as the creature came jumping out at them, stumbling back a step and reached out to catch hold of Pepper, "W-What is that?!" She was... far different then anything he'd ever seen, something pretty but... animal like... he blinked a couple times then gave a gasp, "OH! Pepper! Its a She-Enki!"

Pepper stiffened as he looked at the creature before them. His first instinct was to pounce the creature, as it was so...very...scared. But she was big,,,and that held him off.

She stared at them both her still form then trembling and she collapsed onto the ground her hands up to her face wondering if this was going to be the time she was going to die.

"p..please....d..don't hurt me." she murmured through her fingers.

Luthor blinked a couple times before he released his hold on Pepper and walked forward toward the creature, "This things is... so strange looking." He murmured, reaching a hand out to poke at one of her horns. She reminded him of Enki but seemed a lot... nicer. Kind of like one of the angels... did angels come in weird forms like the demons did? He started to circle around her as though inspecting her, "We need to catch her! Just in case she is an angel or something." They seemed to keep a lot of angels and demons here so it was his and Pepper's job to catch this one! Maybe they would be allowed to see the next bloody mess if they were useful to the Labs.

Pepper tilted his head watching Luthor pull away and encircle the creature. He growled lightly watching Luthor not really understanding the point of his babble.
"Capture? Can pounce then?" He tensed looking ready to try and tackle her.

The creatures gaze looked startled at the sudden interest in Luthor's gaze and the rather intent on in Pepper's gaze. "W..what? P...please...I..don't want to ..get eaten..." She professed with a terrified look.

If Luthor had a tail it would probably have been wagging in that moment, "Ok... then you should come with us." He said, giving her his best smile, "If you cooperate then Pepper here won't eat you." He could only hope that the other boy went along with it, "If not I will let him have his way with pouncing." His Daddy would be so proud of him! He could capture angels! Well... him and Pepper that was

The creature trembled and then look a bit unconvinced, "C...can you...stop...t..that?" She breathed pointing a delicate finger in the direction her wide eyed gaze appeared to be looking.

Pepper leapt forward skittering past the strange new being as that burning smell became rather powerful...and he went to stand in front of Luthor his back raised a low growl deep in his throat.

It was answered by a louder and much more menacing growl. The hell hound had found his prey...and was annoyed to find those brats he wasn't suppose to kill were also there.

Luthor gave a jump at the growling sound and he turned around slowly toward where the creature was pointing and his eyes went quite huge, "W-What... is that?" He murmured, turning to look over at where Pepper was standing. He took a step back away from it. He didn't want to admit that he was afraid in front of his friend, he wanted to seem tough so he pointed at the creature, "Y-You... go away she is ours now." He told it doing his best not to flee despite feeling that urge building up in him.

The demon gave a sound that sounded halfway between a growl and a laugh. This brat was giving him orders? Revealing its rows of sharp canines a snarl ripped through both its mouths. NO it couldn't hurt the boys. Vampy had ordered him to leave them alone. But...that tasty treat between them....It looked so mouthwatering that large globs of acidic drool hissed as it hit the blades of grass.

"Luthor..." Pepper hissed not liking where this was going. "I can't fight THAT. too big." For once Pepper wasn't stupid enough to think he stood a chance.

The white haired boy looked over at Pepper before giving a nod, his knees quaking a little, "Need to... get inside." He whispered to his friend and the creature if she was listening, he turned to look over toward the building trying to find the closest door to where they were... then started to inch toward it slowly.

The large dog like animal snapped and snarled again taking a large step forward, Pepper responded with a hiss of his own, it was much like cat versus canine. Though he was...usually the brick wall between Luthor and anything else this time...it was...just crazy. The small boy edged forward growling in his throat his eyes nearly slits as he watched the canine.
Faun scurried to her legs looking at the children knowing she couldn't let that beast at them! Bending over she hesitated before scooping Luthor up into her arms, she was strong apparently...despite her smallish frame. She looked to Pepper a moment before she raised a free hand pin points of light appeared and then she hurled them at the beast scooped the Pepper and ran for it.

Luthor gave a squealing sound of surprise when he got swept up in the arms of the weird looking deer woman... she was rather strong wasn't she? He reached his hands out toward Pepper but she was quick to grab him as well after making an attack on the demon hound... that had been unexpected. Here he had thought she was just a pretty face and nothing more given the way she had been whimpering.

"Door isn't far from here." He said to her, pointing at it... he could only hope she were fast enough to get inside.

A cornered deer was a dangerous deer, but she was young and inexperienced with demons. The red skinned one looked like a demon himself....the white like an angel. She hadn't time to think on it as she only nodded her head briskly knowing the blinding lights would only last so long....

And in the background a howling sound of rage sounded.

"Door? Where?" she asked her heart beating like a butterfly against her ribs. Pepper was...peeved...he didn't want to runaway...he had just gotten the nerve to face that thing.

Luthor pointed again, "There, there! Run! you have lots of legs!" He cried at the deer woman, looking over to where the hound was. If she didn't move all of those legs of hers they were all going to end up being eaten alive...

She did as told fleeing in the direction he spoke agile and silent despite everything as she moved. Her long deer like ears plastered to her skull as she raced for safety. And then suddenly the door was there, looming in front of them she skidded to a halt clutching the children to her chest her eyes wild as she spotted the mighty beast rounding the corner obviously in no rush.

Luthor's hands reached over to catch hold of the door knob and turned it, yanking on it and it swung open, "Hurry up... hurry its coming!" He ordered the deer, "Now, come on!" The hound wasn't moving fast but it was still following after them, stalking them... it had chills going up his spine.

Pepper flung himself from the creatures grasp and skittered into the hall and then hurried back to yank Luthor out of her grasp. Too slow! She was too slow! it annoyed him and with a snarling bite sound he herded her through the door and slammed it closed. He closed his eyes wondering just when those large teeth would come crashing through the door. Nothing happened...Pepper cocked his head and then looked surprised.

"It gone..burning smell. Gone. Now ?" He implied impatiently what they were suppose to do with deer girl.

Luthor was a little surprised when Pepper pulled him free of the deer woman's grasp and then they were inside. It was a bit of a blur but when he heard the door slam shut he felt a wave of relief crash over him, "Oh... man... that was scary." He murmured, looking over at Pepper first and then over to the deer. He shook his head, "It should be stuck out there." He hurried to the door and locked it so that it didn't risk coming inside... if it could figure out how to open the door.

Pepper wouldn't admit he had been afraid. He only grunted and pointed a clawed finger back at the girl accusingly. "Now?" He asked a bit on edge from the encounter.

The faun's ears drooped as she was now locked inside. She shifted her bouncy curls shifting around her developing chest, she looked..eerie under the false lights. Grey skin, purple fur, antlers...3 fingers total and...strange tattooing on her forehead. Her murky eyes were perhaps the most disturbing part. It was like she was looking through you..instead of at you.

Luthor turned around and took a couple steps forward, "Ummm... not sure..." He said, they had gotten away from the hound and had 'caught' the deer woman but now what were they supposed to do? They had to find Daddy that was what... he would know what to do with her, "Find somewhere to put her then find Daddy." He told Pepper.

Pepper sighed sounding a bit annoyed but nodded his head. "Yea...no bite though?" he asked a bit hopefully he could gnaw on the strange woman.

Faun didn't like being indoors..it made her nervous and flighty the fact she could heard her hooves click against the tile didn't help.

"W...where are you taking me?" She asked her voice low but it was obvious she was scared.

"Depends what you are. Angels live one place and demons live in a different place." Luthor told her then looked over at Pepper, "You can bite her if she doesn't come with us."

Pepper brightened looking very happy at that he gave a growl to the woman.

"Hear that?I bite if you no listen." He threatened, the doe flinched at his words and then looked longingly back to the door and then them. She really didn't have any choice did she?

"O..okay...b.but I...am..not ...either..of those c..creatures." She mumbled.

Luthor's eyes got a little wide, "Neither?" What were they supposed to do with her then... if she weren't either of them... wait what did that make her then, "What are you?" He finally asked, starting down toward more into the Labs. He should bring her to the angels, she was to scared to be among the demons.

The faun trembled and jumped when she heard the growl behind her, Pepper was obviously making food on his claim if she didn't listen. She moved along with the other one...the less scary one.

"I'm a faun." She replied quietly. She didn't like the sound of her hooves on the tile...it was unnatural.

"Faun..." Luthor gave a little shake of his head, having no idea what one of those was. He thought the sound of her hooves on tile was funny though, familiar even as the tapping sound was like the sound Enki's feet made on the tile.

She didn't bother to nod her head, but she stiffened and paused.

"...T..there are humans here.." she gasped looking more afraid her ears back against her skull again. She took a step backwards and gave a startled yelp as something bit her ankle. Instinctively she bucked, and sent poor Pepper flying in the air.

The small boy was tougher then he looked..and it was lucky that the stone like armor managed to protect him from most of the damage dealt. He landed with a crash and woosh of air from his lungs. he started coughing and gasping trying to regain his breath.

"Ah!? Pepper? Are you alright?" He squeak, looking over to where he had landed then turned to give the faun a glare, "Look deer woman you need to not kick people!" He told her, despite the fact that Pepper had bit first.... He didn't take that into account.

The faun took another couple of frightened steps around she looked ready to bolt, humans or no humans she was spooked now. All rational was fleeing her gaze.

Pepper stood up and basically crawled his way back to Luthor's side.

"She hit hard.." he gasped a bit wondering if she cracked anything. He glared at the woman thing and snarled at her. And she was gone.

Running down the corridor as fast as her legs could carry her.

Luthor watched as the girl went dashing off down the hallway, the sound of her hooves rather loud in the area around him and Pepper. He looked over at his friend, "Yeah... she did give you a toss." He murmured, taking a couple steps toward him and then reached a hand out out to his friend, "You alright?"

Pepper looked like he wanted to chase after her, that longing was in his gaze as he watched the thing flee down the hallway. He shook his head to clear it as Luthor asked him a question. Looking to him he butted his head against Luthor in a brotherly way.

"Take more to hurt me." He claimed though he winced a bit. Yeah..something definitely felt cracked.

The white haired boy relaxed a bit, giving a smile, "Good... I don't want to see you get hurt." He murmured then took his hand, "Come on, lets go find her before she goes the wrong way and gets eaten."
