Nexxus would bow, skillfully again.
"If It does not displease you, I think I shall go... annoy your... Queen, is she?" A pause as he rose from the bow with a straightening of his clothes. He would turn and walk away, vanishing in a catch of wind that would carry his mist away, but taking him with it.
His body would remanifest in the shadows behind Rachelle, and he would speak.
"I feel I must talk with you about the situation arising." He would walk forward, calm and slow, arms behind his back, one hand holding the other as he stood before her.

Rachelle stood up and turned to face the man. The smile she displayed was strangely similar to Amelie's, sweet and frank, full of warmth. From this close, the lady looked nothing of a woman of power. In fact, she looked barely older than 16, and had to raise her chin to look Nexxus in the eyes. Her pale face was surrounded by pure, golden locks, covered by a beret and tied in a ponytail. Her figure had nothing extraordinary, covered by the coat of the crusader, a beautiful scarlet jacket embroidered with gold, sporting shoulder guards and armguards, open at the front over her simple leather tunic.
"I was not expecting such a visit, I must admit. Do you wish to warn me about the vessel darkening our sky?"

Nexxus would shake his head.
"I know nothing more than what you know. That it is there. I would, however, like to warn you of something beneath you, as well. I don't know what it is, but that it is there. Four, maybe Five."
His fingers would motion to a nearby chair. "May I?"

Out of the Battle cruiser dropped a small human sized pod, but it didn't fell human.
A big Bulbous black creature waited in another pod for the order to go in if he should be needed. While anouther creature was being being held back as it seemed very hostile. Next to them were standing several other shadowy beings,

Akira, everyone is currently being passive and waiting for you to make a move. Don't be afraid to write more and move until you interact with someone else, since it seems you're planning to do so. =o
Random Stranger #36 Nexxus would shake his head. "I know nothing more than what you know. That it is there. I would, however, like to warn you of something beneath you, as well. I don't know what it is, but that it is there. Four, maybe Five." His fingers would motion to a nearby chair. "May I?" "Be at ease." She pointed to a seat in particular. While Nexxus would probably sit down, Rachelle preferred to stay standing, her index following the lines in the wood of her desk. Her eyes, though didn't move from Nexxus', examining him as if he was naked. "In what way do they concern us, sir? If you'd go to the trouble of meeting me here, must I assume there is something of great importance afoot?"

The man would nigh collapse in the chair, making himself quite comfortable... Limbs akimbo, Arms dangling, head back and eyes ceiling-ward. He'd yawn, and exhale upward smoothly, skillfully controlling his diaphragm.
"I don't see motives and moves before they happen, madame, but merely see what happens with the eyes of what make me what I am."
"I am not the Game Master, but the Organizer, Seeing the players before they come. You arrived first. The others have come in your wake... In some sick sense, you are the Game Master. You have set the board, my lady. Are you to be victor? Choose your moves wisely, for you fight against equals..."
He'd give another deep yawn, blinking at her lazily.
"I am merely a piece in your arsenal, you could say. Offering what I can, A spectator come to be more."

"You seem so tired ..."
The concern in her voice was genuine, almost tinted with sadness for seeing a man exhausted before her eyes. Rachelle's heeled feet brought her around her desk to her left, the tip of her fingers floating along the edges of her desk, slowly, until she stopped by him. The other hand, her left, raised almost shily until her fingers passed through Nexxus' mist without touching him.
"What is your name?"

"Nexxus."
He'd murmur quietly, looking at her lazily, like a cat enjoying a mistress' pets.
"I've been busy, since I've left the Void. Couldn't have been more than three, maybe four hours ago. Just... stretched wide is all." He'd glance at her hand, as the Mist halted a mere centimeter or less before her flesh and floated around it, as if it knew that she was there.
"I can fight, if it comes to it."

"Why would you?" Her voice had lowered to match his, almost a whisper. Rachelle's room was completely soundproof, from in and out. It was as if Gaia did not exist outside these walls, and they were part of something else. Something less, yet more. The room was so naked, three wooden chair, the desk, chandeliers hanging from the walls ... it felt otherwordly.
"What is it you wish to fight for, sir Nexxus?"

"The Darkness. The True Darkness... Not this... Twisted version that you squash. The silent observer, the shadows. I am an Agent of the Dark, you could say. I'm not evil, as they are, but I possess their.... abilities, along with my own will."
He would move nimbly, ensnaring her arm gently his flesh touching her own as the mist is offered no exit, and thus explores elsewhere, exceeding in profusion where his touch ended. He would pull her close, if she allowed it, sitting her in his lap, to place his head upon her shoulder.
"Our... powers may differ, but our ends are the same. Thus we are bound, by our contrast, and by our equal ends. For that, I will fight for you. For that, I will be the one who walks where you cannot, will not."

The girl was yanked into his lap. He'd feel her shiver under his hand, yet she resisted in no way. For the position she held, Rachelle seemed so fragile, so helpless. Easily forced down by the first stranger, and within Nexxus' grasp, she did nothing but gaze at the mist floating along his and her skin, her hand pressed against her chest in a fist, the candles upon the wall.
"You give yourself much credit, but there is no telling if it is lie or truth. Am I to groundlessly trust you? Or maybe, by your sudden brutality, do you wish to force your will open me?"
Her voice had lowered and lowered until her words were nothing but a wind finding its way to Nexxus' ear, eager for an answer.

To call his actions brutal was to call a bunny rabbit a vicious beast. His touch was light, but coaxing. He did not hold her to his lap, but drapsed himself upon her, with his fatigue.
"Trust breeds Trust. I trust you. I shall trust you, regardless of what happens. It's.... Mindless devotion, I guess you could say. Blind commitment. You could stab me in the back, and I would still protect yours."
He would remain draped over her, almost feather-light, but with a snuggliness to him... He was, for a simple title to give him, much like a automatronic teddybear. Soft, warm, and gentle.

"How tempting it is ..." A sigh escaped her lips, and her body relaxed further. He hand left her chest to wrap around Nexxus' arm, the one he had left hanging to his side, cradling it softly. She pulled it up into the chair and around her waist before taking the back of his hand into her palm. She enjoyed the sight of the mist for another second, before mouthing two words:
"bloody fist."
It was a curse, meant to inflict pain upon a resilient enemy. Nexxus' skin would gain the appearance of a dried wasteland, fissures covering its surface from fingertips to wrist, and spreading further, up his forearm, reaching as deep as the flesh. Natural regeneration was rendered useless by this spell, which had in the end nothing but a single goal: make one's blood river to the earth.

As skin ripped, and life force was exposed, it would not be mist, as it eminated from his skin... No, this was a flood, of fluid, yet.. not fluid. Darkness. And it wasn't happy, it seemed. It would arc out in spiraling tendrils, wrapping around the woman's bubble of personal space, squeezing it without touching her, as it had been before... It stirred, with dark shades of Blue and Black.
The Tide of Darkness. What made Nexxus able to vanish, and see, and emulate the beasts of shadows. He was a window, to the Void, a physical embodiment.
"A curious feeling... Is it pain?"
His eyes turned to her face, enquiring, curious. There was a slight wince to his eyelids, a tenseness to his body as he endured the effects of her spell.

SU-001 Scanning Site..Location Identified as Barton. Waiting for orders...
Said a skinny black android with black wires coming out of it's hands, it then prepared to create a machine that would allow him to remotely shut down the cities power if needed. Mean while a man with long wild green hair and a green suit was walking through out barton and he had never been there before so he was quite lost.
