Anne kept crawling and rummaging around for the shard but was still empty handed. She groaned wiping the blood and leftover dust off her. She found her way out of the trapped room only to discover there were infinite more to search. She rolled her eyes and pressed her back against the hallway trying to give herself time to recover. Meanwhile her shadow was impatiently tapping her foot with her arms folded as if to say if you were too busy taking blood samples perhaps you'd be able to understand. Her shadow seemed to take a deep breath. Once she'd calmed she started the charade again. She was waking then her shadow expanded conveying a bomb had gone off. Then it returned to resembling Anne. It clutched the back of her head then removed it shadow droplets left to reflect she was bleeding. Then all returned back to normal. OOC: Ok. Slow and steady.
After following Anne's footsteps for a few minutes, Valentine stopped in front of a door. The footprints seemed to go inside. He could smell smoke from inside here... and slight gunpowder. Maybe this was what Anne and Demetrius were talking about earlier. He opened the door and looked around, noticing some blood on the floor. It was all over, meaning that she had searched the room. It was leading back to an exit... Valve walked over and pushed open the door, seeing Anne resting in the hallway, the back of her neck bleeding. "Anne... you're bleeding." He said, ripping some cloth from the inside of his jacket. He used it to dab at the blood a bit, cleaning it up for her.
"What happened in there. Why are you bleeding?" He asked, managing to get most of the blood off of her neck. It would probably come back eventually, but for now it was fine. 'Maybe have Demetrius deal with this. He'd like that.' He thought jokingly to himself. While he thought about it in a joking manner, Valve wasn't actually convinced Demetrius wouldn't do it... He set the cloth on the ground. Not like there was anywhere to throw it away, and what did he care. Madame Vandel never said they had to be clean about it.
The shadow Anne sent to Val returned to her. Anne said nothing for a moment neither did her shadow. She was tired of charades. So she told him how she entered the room triggered a bomb and cage trap and got hit in the head with the debris. She was thankful he'd wiped most the blood away, but she doubted that would be enough to deceive Demetrius' nose. So that sucked. "So...how were things on your end." OOC: I never noticed that.
Valentine listened to her little story, shaking his head every now and then. "...We probably shouldn't have split up, if there was a bomb in here..." He said with a sigh. "Are you sure you're okay? Like... no concussion or anything?" What are you saying. She was caught in the explosion from a bomb. Her neck is bleeding. Of course she's not okay. When Anne asked about how he did, he shook his head. "No progress. Well, other than narrowing down that the door I went through contained no shard." He said, standing up. "I wonder if any of these doors lead to where Demetrius and Dakota are... would be kind of convenient, huh?"
Dakota was a little more than surprised, needless to say, from Demetrius putting his arm around his shoulder. He grinned at his suggestion, followed by an even wider grin when Demetrius pet his hair. Oh, now he liked that. The ruffling was something he did not like. But the petting? Petting was good. Petting was great. But it wasn't a few seconds too late did he hear what Demetrius had said and process it fully. "Hey! Who said I was trying t--" He was stopped mid-sentence by the sensation of teeth digging into his skin. It made him want to moan... But he suppressed the urge. It hurt... But it also felt kind of... Wait a minute, wasn't this the same person he abhorred roughly an hour ago or less? Was this not the same Demetrius whom he loathed in every possible way? And now suddenly he had arrangements and was letting him pet his hair and bite his neck? ... Well, whatever. It was going to be what it was going to be. Dakota didn't give two f***s about it at this point. It was going to be whatever it was going to be: That's the way Dakota swings.
His mind was taken away from the previous subject since it had both confused him, frustrated him, and distracted from the reason why they were down here in this basement in the first place. He paid attention to the shadow playing charades. Something about a bomb... Pain... and blood? "Anne-Drew's hurt? She must've triggered a trap... You can send your shadows back now, if you need to, Anne-Drew. You need all of the strength you can get. We'll be fine--we've got a good nose with us." He told the shadow. Could it even hear him? Probably, it heard Demetrius. "Do you, want to go to her or shall we keep moving? It's possible she is at a trap room or a dead end... But it's also possible that she is near the shard..." Dakota offered, he would be fine with either one. It may end up taking longer to find the shard but he cared about his clanmates. Chloe's impatience be darned. Besides, it would give the wicked witch and her flying monkeys some more time to torture Dorothy and friends.
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆ This sounds like some kind of erotic fanfiction. Dear god, I need to go write some Johnlock or Jeanmarco or CecilxCarlos or something. What is wrong with me. (Lol, I'm sure that even if we didn't slow down, Dakota and Demetrius would wind up in a bedroom faster than they'd wind up with the shard so, I mean, I think we're good. xD rofl But yeah, just so they can catch up, that's probably wise)

Oh dear god, Demetrius' and Dakota's interaction is turning into some kind of yaoi thing. I feel like I've helped in the creation of an inevitable monster. wheerofl

Demetrius Donavan
Demetrius chuckled at the shadow "it shall be our little secret, we well make hast tell my dear Anne-Drew than I well be by her side as soon as I can" his gave Dakota a prideful look "what did I tell you" she started following the shadow soon passing it when he smelt her blood "they are closer than I would have guessed" but knew they were getting further away from the shard, he stopped for a second and petted Dakota's hair whispering in his ear with the same seductive tone as before "not a word" and continued on his way.
OOC: Just make the other guild and make it more lenient lol or I'm up for pming lol, Demetrius has more restraint than that, your post is priceless, though I thing Demetrius might have got on his bad side again with post.
Her shadow simply stared at Demetrius for a moment as if to say that's not very funny. Charades were to draining but it remained. Anne wouldn't accept it back. Though it was tough for her shadow to convey emotions if Demetrius or Dakota didn't know any better it would seem her shadow was a little jealous. But she quickly led them to Anne.
"Yeah too convenient. They are coming to us Val. Demetrius has caught the scent of my blood. I don't think there is any swelling. I'm fine honest. Just a little shaken. At least I'm sure the shard isn't there." Anne said to Val still taking a couple of deep breaths and hoped the blood would stop pouring out her wound. Bleeding out in a basement wasn't exactly how she imagined death. "This shard better be worth it." OOC:
Valentine nodded, as she said they were coming to them. "Great. Well, seeing as we know what door to find, it's just a matter of getting there... and the more people we have to look the better." He said. When Anne said she was fine, he nodded again. That was good. As long as she could walk, they'd be fine. Though, they'd still split into their groups of two once they got this mess cleared up. "Yeah, no kidding. This is a becoming a real pain in the a**." He said, looking at all the doors around them. Really, how many doors did this place need? Val shot a ball of light back through the door. It went all the way through to where Anne and Valentine first split up. It would hover by their door, and when Demetrius and Dakota got to the door, it would take them to where Anne and Valentine were. "...You can take your shadow back from them. You're going to need your strength. That light will guide them when they get to the door. They might loose your... scent, after they get close to the where the bomb exploded." He explained to Anne. She probably wouldn't want to, but she needed the strength right now.
Dakota scoffed at Demetrius' display pride. "Fine, fine. You were right, I was wrong. Are you satisfied?" He said with a roll of his eyes while crossing his arms. He followed the "good nose" to where he was headed. Dakota couldn't help but giggle at the feeling of Demetrius' breath against his ear. It tickled! Why did he have to be so ticklish? The tickling feeling was mixed with a feeling of pleasure as Demetrius petted his hair. It nearly made him feel like a pet like a dog or a cat. But it was a sensation he enjoyed nonetheless. "Don't worry, my lips are sealed." He whispered back, unable to hold back a grin.
Dakota continued to follow until he saw a light down the hall. He ran to it, look at it for a moment with joy. "This is Valentine's! He was here! He's probably with Anne... So they're probably both okay! C'mon! Let's go, let's go!" He exclaimed happily. The ball of light began to move and he followed it quickly, not caring how far ahead he was in front of Demetrius was at this point. He just wanted to see Val--he needed to make sure he was okay. Dakota dashed to where the ball of light was taking him, eventually finding a bleeding Anne, a bunch of debris, and--"Val!" He exclaimed, glomping him upon first sight. "I was hoping you were okay~" He added. Looking down at Anne, he let go of the perfect Valentine and knelt by her side to look at her wound. Demetrius was not going to like the sight of this...

Lol, yeah they are. Hoodies are the best. They're so comfy~

It's the best way to describe it though. xD

Actually, I was thinking it was gonna be a Barton Town thing. Guilds are hard to maintain, man. They're a lot of work and they also make you pay 30,000 gold. (And I'm pretty broke on this site so I don't have all that much to spend)
But I am making the rules just a teeny more lenient for that one just because I know it's probably gonna be a small RP.

Anne sighed as she called her shadow back. Though she tried to never vocally express she was in pain, her shadow was not very dark and she was cursing the shard under her breath. Then Dakota arrived and practically squeezed away the energy Val had left. Attempting to make things light again she said to him, "Well ******** you too Dakota. I know I'm not your precious hug buddy, but a simple greeting would suffice. It's not that bad. Well I wouldn't know. I can't really see the back of my head. That and apparently trip wire traps." OOC:
Demetrius held back a grin remembering he had won yet another round of his bickering with Dakota, secretly relieved that Dakota would not say anything; he didn't want to ruin Anything he had with Anne-Drew
"Go on ahead" Demetrius was hit hard when they got close to the smell of the bomb explosion, he took a few deep breaths and followed, when he got them in view (which is twice as far as most would be able to see them) at first he only noticed Dakota fawning over Valentine "you change you mine fast" he said speaking to himself and chuckled but when Dakota kneel he ran, see why he had smelt her blood he glared at Valentine but did not waist his breath on him. Pushing Dakota out of the way he held her in his arms "My dearest Anne-Drew I am here" he moved her hair out of the way of the wound "this well sting a bit" he slowly licked the wound removing extra blood and excess gun power off the wound, he then ripped of his sleeve and tied it around her neck like a handkerchief "that should keep in from getting infected and help close the wound" put he hair back in place whispering "if you get any closer to death I'd be happy to turn you" he let her go knowing she didn't like being the damsel in distress and returned his vile look to Valentine "explain."
OOC: Sounds good but the guild I can help maintain and pay for if that's your only reason. He didn't heal her but can taste that the gunpowder residue is gone from the wound.

Dakota Faux ☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Dakota gave an apologetic grin as Anne-Drew spoke to him. "Sorry.. I was just really excited to see him," he laughed nervously, "... It is pretty bad, I hate to say it. It just took me by surprise to see you so hurt, that's a-- H-hey!!" His apology was cut short by Demetrius shoving him out of his way. Dakota fell over but then quickly stood and brushed himself off to get rid of the dust that was on his jacket now. Tsk... I'll get you back later. He thought to himself, grinning wide at the thoughts that followed.
Dakota watched as Demetrius disinfected her wound. It struck him as strange for him to be licking her wound like a canine would but they didn't really have much else they could do for it, did they? Dakota noticed the nasty look he gave Valentine and was half tempted to glare at Demetrius for doing so but he did not want to fight a fight that was not his own. He would step in if need be but for now, he would stay out. He knelt back down to Anne-Drew. "So this happened from a tripwire bomb?"

Nah, I also feel like it's harder for RPs to be noticed in guilds than in Barton Town. Or, at least, it's harder to get people. Idk, but thank you for offering! ^^
Valentine fell over as Dakota jumped on him and hugged him. He was kind of exhausted from using so much of his power, otherwise he probably would have been able to handle him. But for right now, he'd just wait until he got up. He stood up slowly as Dakota got off, noticing that Demetrius was glaring at him and asking for an explanation. "Jeez, cut me a break, would you..." He mumbled to himself, standing up at his usual height.
"So I'm going to assume you noticed the other doors when you came in?" Val started to explain. "Anne and I decided it would be best to split up and search the doors, after discovering that only two were likely to have the shard in them. Apparently, Anne's was closest to the shard, seeing as they put a bomb in there." He said, crossing his arms. Yeah, the story didn't sound too good from his perspective, and he really wasn't in the mood to be in a fight with Demetrius. "I did all I could to help her though. I'm kind of exhausted from using so much energy in these balls of light, I sent at least three to her. Her injuries could've been worse, possibly even fatal. So, as I see it, my only fault here was leaving her, which I will accept full responsibility for." He said, looking from Demetrius to Anne. He did feel a bit guilty that she'd gotten hurt when he was supposed to protect her. But what else could he have done? Stay with her? That would've wasted their precious time, or rather, Madame Vandel's precious time. And she did get kind of impatient, at times.
Lol, I wear my hoodie(s) all day. Also, "the perfect Valentine", lol.

Demetrius Donavan
Demetrius sighed "you should have been more wise" he smirked "her wound is starting to heal, the smell is getting slightly less potent" her got up and patted Valentines shoulder "trying to do things quickly has now set us back future in time than if you had suck together, your both weak and if we go to the shard right away we'll only be putting ourselves in danger" he sighed "this was a trick in case you had someone with sensory type ability's, the shard is down from the way me and Dakota were headed until this happened or at lest it is what I believe." He would have done worse but he was beating himself up worse than he could have done "it would seem Dakota and myself make the better team" he chuckled, he liked proving others wrong.
OOC: Ah okay, lol, ah, lol wondering how Anne-Drew well react is exciting. Lol Dakota is so much like a little child.
A half-smile slowly came to Anne's face as she rested in Demetrius arms. She was getting cold from loosing blood. If asked to verbally describe the feeling she couldn't. Except he was being less annoying than usual. Slowly she could feel her hair shifting then suddenly a sharp pain. She let out a hiss and could help but glare at him a little. Then he bandaged up her up. Soon his embrace ended but not before a teasing whisper. Anne's smile slightly widened and she didn't miss a beat, "Well it's about time you showed up. I was getting worried. But really? Eternity with moi? You'd really be happy to turn me? If that's true then you like being called Demetri. Yeah right. Thanks for the cloth and cleaning my wound. I think I prefer good old fashioned soap and water over the spit." Her shadow on the other hand seemed to be doing an I know something you don't dance. Anne turned to Demetrius seriously doubting his statement about him and Dakota making a better team.
Once she'd gotten herself together she said, "Look, Val has nothing to apologize for. I'm still alive and kicking. Too stubborn to die remember. Just a little shaken. Yeah this is what happened after I hit the tripwire. As to who makes the better team I believe Val and I came closest to the shard. So woop-de-do. I think we should get moving before we get caught in a hard place and this room starts spinning." OOC:
