Welcome to Gaia! ::

:: The waning light of cheshire moon became vieled and mottled from the rise of smoke from the far earth below. The acrid wind that rose on thermal she currenly rode would cause a slight curl to upper lip, heading soon angled out of the general area. Of course, the fiery beacons that seemed to throw heat even from this far up were hardly ignorable, and deserving of some measure of investigation.::

::Wind was spilled from the ebony shine of spread sails, spiraling ever lower as jem cut gaze considered the activities below. A passable altitude attained that would allow for observance that, being that the creatures seemed abit distracted... would probably not be noticing her anytime soon. Serpentine tail would thrash in her wake as the soft chiming links of chain also teased about the drawn point of ears, still adrift on the warm air that pushed ever upwards. ::

Delve was caught a little off-guard by the shout. He just looked at Crim with a questioning face - that was until the ground desintigrated under him. The upheaval of the earth below his feet was not a pleasent feeling.
His scarf, seeming to agree, came to life. The entity of shadow lashed out at the nearest vertical poll, wrapped around it, tightened, and then flung him upward and out of the upheaval.

Delv would land some distance behind Crim' in a low crouch. "That's a neat trick, Crim'...when did you get that." At the same time as he spoke, his scarf had already unraveled from his neck and disappeared into the darkness. Even Delv didn't know what it was up to.

"I'm looking forward to it, old friend." Delve watched Crim carefully - not just the hand. He stood his ground, spinning his knife in his hand before he began to walk forward to close the distance. He had no idea of the capabilities of this hand - he had never encountered it until now.

Reaching into his coat with his free hand, Delven took a small black book from an inside pocket. He opened it and looked at a page for a moment before closing the book and looking back at Crim with a slight smirk. "Lets see what this shiney hand of yours can do."

Kat watched the scarf disappear, and started watching her surroundings all the more closely. One hand went into her bra, searching for a different weapon. As much as she loved her magnum, she doubted it would help much if the scarf snuck up on her. She found both shotguns readily enough, and a mingun she couldn't remember picking up, but none of it sounded useful. Her hand closed on something small, and she pulled it out. Wasn't the best, but it might work in a pinch. MiniKitty would have been her best weapon, but demonic hats were so unreliable, and never there when needed.

Crim` would come down with crushing momentum, the energy eminating from his glowing fist causing a crater in the ground. His eyes would shift to the direction Delve solidified at. He knew this technique.

"Blur..." he'd mutter.

Pushing off of the ground away from Delve with his legs, he'd spring left, feeling the scrape of the knife's blade, penetrating his red jacket and cutting from the top of his shoulder to his bicep. He would land a few feet away.

"Ahh, first blood." he said, removing his jacket slowly, reaching into it with his left hnd and unclasping his sheathed knife and tossing it to the ground where it landed with a thud. Underneath he wore a sleeveless white t-shirt, the sleeves cut off crudely. This time would also reveal that the cybernetic arm consisted of his entire forearm. Crim` would then remove the black bandana from his forehead, his ragged hair falling over his face, pink strands strewn about his forehead at various lengths. He tied the bandana around his arm o stop the bleeding a bit, securing it with his teeth, his eyes locked on Delve.

"Alright then." he said, slipping the knive's sheath into his belt at his left side. He'd grip the handle of it with his right hand, drawing it and holding it out toward's Delve, turning his body a bit so that he was standing sideways, facing Delve, his right side turned to him. He held the knife's blade squared on Delve, flat, the gleaming lights of the lamps cutting through the darkness and illuminating the edge of the curved blade which continued up half of the large combat knife's spine. Blood dripped downhis arm a bit as he stood there, droplets hitting the dirt at his feet.

"Have at you, blurry... Guy."

An annoying flash of light lit the area for a few seconds, and Kat quickly scanned for any hidden elements in the environment. Obviously the scarf was still out there, but she failed to spot it. She did spot what seemed to be a bird in the sky, but as for who or what had caused the flash she didn't know. It was obviously not the two combatants below her, as intent as they were on each other. It occurred to her that she didn't need to watch the stranger too closely anymore, since his scarf was the one with her gun, but caution never hurt and the stranger was unlikely to view her as a friendly anyways. She wondered where CV had gone, then realized that both the bird and the flash may have been her. The idea reassured her a bit and while keeping both in mind, paid them no more attention.

::Bird bird a very large bird. Of fairly irregular and sinister plumage at that. Bank and turn, gliding with seemingly effortless movements through the shift of a webbed finger, the flick of her tail. At the moment, not doing much but spiraling above. Four figures below had attracted the attention of the avian; the two fighting, of course; the floating one, dressed in such colors that attracted the eye easily; and then there was the source of the damned light::

::As the brightness flashed pupils dialated to mere slits before flaring again, partial acuteness lost now as her vision would take a moment to focus. For a moment distracted, she forgot which way she was currently headed, drawing closer to Celeste, a little too close. She kicked herself mentally as she'd surely be noticed noticed now, coming at the floating bunny thing as if baring down on her from above... and the size quite apparent to be larger than said bird...::

::Her direction changed suddenly then, leathery wings outstretched and banked, turning perfectly on wingtip before folding in on themselves. Altitude lost for the gain of acceleration before coaxing open to catch the wind as distance increased, a metallic whisper passing through iron links rushing by... ::

::Shadow would skim along the tops of yet mostly undesturbed cars before boots would impact heavily to the top, light shifting on the surface as the sudden blow of body had dented in the metal sheet. Taloned fingers remained spread where they had fallen as the woman remained crouched a moment, dark wings mantled over her form. As such she would then remain still, watching the other airborne for a moment, though she did pick a place with a view of the current fight::
