Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cypher chuckled "i see the redhead still has quite the tongue on her, cant wait to cut it out. and if you so badly wish to know, ofcoarse not a single person believed that, but contrary to your belief i have a great many friends, especially in the order, this was all they needed to prove my death by human law, and once i was officially declared dead by human society, my existence on the roaster of the order was no more."

Halco turned around, meaning so did Dusk, seeing as he was holding her upright. seeing his face just made things worse, he thought as much. then he spoke, forcefully, every word seemed so different from who he normally was "so you have no backing, no support, noone to help you, and whatever simple vampire hunting tools you can manage to fit on your person, yet you come to my home to kill my friends, and my loved ones. even if you could kill me, there are many others here that could stop your heart with almost something as simple as a thought. you are nothing but a fragile, weak, human, however you dont even qualify as human, your worthless, your a coward, i suggest you leave right now, for your own safety."

Cypher once more only stood and laughed, a sadistic smirk on his face. "human i may be, but fragile and weak i am not, not on a human standard, and not even compared to a vampire, well not anymore anyway." he blinked and his right eye turned black, and slowly a red pentagram faded in taking up the center of the eye. "i made a deal, your friend alex knows about these deals, though he was stupid enough to ask to become a demon, i just wanted the power of one."

Halco sighed "i warned you, dont say i didnt when your begging for your life...though this deal you made will prove as an annoyance."

Dusk rolled her eyes slightly at the notion of cutting her tongue out "Now we all know your getting ahead of yourself there" she sighed only to arch a brow a moment later at the mention of him having friends "At least you can admit it..." she hummed referring to his 'contrary to popular belief' segment "Or just a bunch of people who want to see you torn limb from limb" she offered. Finding herself turning with the help of Halco she was reminded of the lack of control she had in her limbs once more. However before she could chime in with anymore witty banter she took note of the pentigram forming in the others eye. Well that may make things a little harder than previously thought.

Dani smiled slightly against Adrian's lips as she found herself laying across him comfortably. Releasing a soft contented sigh at the sensation of his fingers combing through her hair Dani closed her eyes letting out a soft hum of thought "I don't think you've ever explicitly said so" she answered, unable to fight the glinting smile which crossed her features as she opened her eyes

Damian arched a brow when Le suddenly shot that, only to chuckle slightly as she stuck her tongue out at him and slid closer. Draping his arms around her he pulled her close, placing a light kiss atop her head "I'll be sure to remember that for next time" he said, that deamonic glow flashing in his eyes for a brief moment.


Zander shook his head slightly, finding himself unable to much of deny that matter since it was, to a point, a true statement since that was just how john was and after all he l-.... he paused at the thought as it almost caught him off guard for some unknown reason. He knew so well he cared for John very very much, he knew he loved the other, but in that moment Zander seemed to realize he may have almost avoided the word, after his previous relationship, but the sudden realization sent him almost awkwardly following along side John, unsure how to continue after that epiphany.

Dusk arched a brow as she suddenly found herself passed off to Alex as he showed up, rolling her eyes slightly when her arm was pulled over the others shoulder "I hope you realize it wasn't the slightest bit awkward until you said that" she said before offering a smile to Halco "For that a*****e? You won't need luck" she said, though she still found herself reaching out with her now free hand as he moved, letting it fall back to her side a moment later. "Now, now, not on the first date... and hun you're not my type, i don't find anything that spews more s**t than an a** attractive" she chirped simply as Halco took to work before shifting to look back at Alex when he spoke. "That.... or maybe that's just how you get someone who kicked in the unlocked door ou-.... oh s**t" she groaned as she suddenly felt that oh so familiar presence coming down, pissed off. "Sure, Don't want to miss a minute of that spit ******** getting his a** kicked in" she said as her mother stormed out


Charlotte had just put her sons to bed when she felt the disturbance downstairs and it was then she took her time to listen in and figure out who was down there. Her daughter, her soon to be son in law, and someone she didn't like the feel of at all. So with that she left her room, heading down stairs only to hear that comment about a redhead her anger suddenly sparked up. Heading down to see her daughter in someone elses grasp she arched a brow "Who said it?" she asked, only getting a point towards the door before heading out, momma was pissed, no one talked about her daughter like that, no one.

Dani let out a light laugh "I guess you're right" she chirped in agreement, only to find herself interrupted by a soft groan when she felt the initial tug to her hair, letting out a soft sigh as Adrian continued to toy with her hair, allowing her head to come to rest upon his shoulder.

Damian arched a brow when Le laughed at his comment, but he let it slide after a moment, making a mental note to be absolutely sure next time to take it up a step as well, but for now he would let her recover. Tucking her head under his chin he sighed softly, content now in just having her close "So, what do you want to do today, hmn?"

Zander really didn't know how to proceed after that thought, though he did find it assuring to see that John didn't seem to notice initially, It was at least one less thing to worry about as he tried to sort out the things in his head. Where did this all come from? When? Why now? His head was spinning with the realization. Feeling the others hand on his back he felt reassured... that is until the other spoke up. His heart sank in that instant, and it was in that exact moment he realized something.Pausing for a moment when John held the door open for him Zander found himself biting his lip before he acted. Taking hold of Johns hand Zander pulled him in after himself, paying little attention to the clerk as he pulled the other off towards the secluded section of the store, only to stop and face the other when they were alone. "You're right.... I don't have to say it. And i will never have to say it" he said, keeping his gaze down as he spoke, obviously nervous, but after a moment he looked up and kissed John. "I will never have to say it... but I really want to" he said, feeling his cheeks flare up in embarrassment as he finally managed to look John in the eyes, nervous because he feared he may get his heart broken once more, but honest as he finally said "John, I... I lo-..." he looked down needing a moment to assure himself that this wouldnt be like last time before he finally stuttered out "I-I love you" he said once more looking up at him, feeling his cheeks flush, unsure of how those words would be recieved, and honestly a little worried

In his crypt Shadow sat, as he was known to do from time to time. This time he had locked himself away in the back room with a sword case in front of him. the last great dark secret of his family lay within, something he never wanted to see again but the need might have arisen for it now. One last dirty little secret that would need to be destroyed when all was done and dusted if the wielder survived the conflict. What to do, what to do, the thought echoed in his mind, had been for some time. Sajuuk knew of his fathers plans but had to take his leave to tend to his lands out in Cathay for a while. Both were willing, both knew what had to be done but it was still a difficult choice when one was as stubborn as the other. In the back of his mind he could hear the blade inside whisper to him, the blade Marcus posses was not the first to talk to its master but one in a series and the last to remain before everything was perfected. The secrets would die with the last of his line that knew, Shadow and Sajuuk and there it should remain. "Soon... so very soon." muttered Shadow as he replaced the case for now and entered the main chamber of the crypt to think and ponder some more.

Raven and Dorian had been staying in the town for now, keeping their distance form the manor after everything that had happened. raven still conducted her duties for the manor and now she had Dorians help. With the absence of John the two were paired up but they did have other things going on as well. Dorian would pass certain information onto Raven and she would act accordingly while he slept. Sometimes when he had enough time free he would help her during these side jobs they were doing. It was all kept hushed up for now, no one was going to figure out on their own what they were up to. After the whole incident at the manor the two had grown quite close but none knew quite how close they had become. What contact they kept outside of their business was very limited and they intended to keep it that way for a little while longer.

Dusk didn't know how to feel this time about what was going on, her emotional reactions were defiantly thrown askew after the days previous events, and it always put her to some level of discomfort when she Knew Halco was fighting, but this time it felt different, a higher level which made her stomach twist. "Old body" she corrected on reflex "Newly revived, but its still the old one" she said with one of those unreadable expressions of hers, too many things were going through her mind to keep it all in order, but one couldn't blame her. Cypher was a pain in the a** as a normal human, she knew that, so how would this skew things now. "I still say Cypher likely just needs to get laid... seems like the kind of guys whose anger is directly tied to that frustration"

Dani blinked slightly as she found herself scooped up, something she likely would have been a little surprised of had it not been for the emotional high she was still riding. "Where we going?" she asked, ignoring the mental quip that it was more him taking her somewhere since it didn't really matter.

Damian smiled, slightly tightening his hold around Le as she snuggled up closer to him. Letting the suggestion dance through his mind her gave a slight nod "Sounds like a plan" he agreed

In the silent moments after Zander had spoke those three words which had always seemed taboo his mood had gone from confident to completely unsure as each painfully silent second ticked by, making him wonder if he looked a fool for saying such a thing. It was almost the heart break of years passed, almost, until he noticed the cocky smile of John's cross his face. His embarrassment swelled as he found himself pulled into the dressing room and pushed against the mirror only to fall a moment later as those tree words were echoed back. After that his head was a bit of a swirl, unsure of which was stronger, his embarrassment and relief or his want for John, the later only growing as those naughty words met his ears. Biting his lip and looking up at the other through his fringe of his hair he hezitated only a moment before pulling the other into a kiss

((Rainick is not present at the manner as stated in a previous post, he had to deal with an internal matter, he will be gone for a little while longer.))

Cypher noticed the needles and his sword made a flash with the light reflecting from it as it moved, both needles fell to the ground both cut in half from one swing stopping them in mid air. "it seems im drawing quiet the crowd, the more the bloodier." he smirked and laughed.

Halco gained his balance and stance back once more and sighed as marcus came out asking questions. "little bit busy here Marcus, theres enough people involved in this as it is, so how about you sit back and enjoy the scene, just let me do the job you gave me."

Cypher grew impatient. "enough talk,time for action." he lunged forward with his sword slashing at halco only for the sword to be batted sideways with one hand as a fist came for his face. ducking down and shooting his free hand upward under halco's shoulder he launched him upward high enough to point the sword straight up for him to fall on.

Halco kept thinking about the next move as each moment passed, and actions unraveled, he realized this would be the kind of fight that takes many moves for even one hit to land on either of them, but for now he was in the air ready to fall on cyphers sword, he ajusted as best he could and at the last moment he clapped his hands on either side of the end of the sword, then forcing it to one side and himself to the other he sent himself into a spin to the side so as not to get impaled as he spun he flung out his foot, his heel slammed soundly into the side of Cypher's head. hal then landed and swiftly backed out of swords reach. "told you, im not getting run through with that sword again."

Cypher, in anger and a slight daze from the hard kick to the head, pulled out his gun, attached to his jacket by a chain. he fired off several rounds in both halco's and Luna's direction, seeing as so far they were the only ones truly involving themselves in the fight, unless the others got involved he could respect the wish to spectate.
