A popular attraction, and leisure spot, for the denizens of vale is the Remnant park. Here, it boats flora from Vale and those that were recovered/ could be grown from other nations. A small, iron link fence, lines much of the flora on display to keep the plants protected but within view. Some sections do lack that, however, as nature is as much next to as it is on the paths; the designated areas for those to enjoy picnics and other such things in safety. The pathways through the park are outlined with a brick-like design; going all around and through the park. Every ten feet lies a lamp post to help illuminate the park paths in the eve, though very few people go through it then. Due to the unevenness of the ground, and for spacing, there are some bridges and higher-up paths that will occasionally cross over the lower paths. In the very center of the park lies a beautiful fountain, hedge, and colorful flowers; to show off a bit more beauty for those who travel so far into it. The park is rather expansive, so if a person were to enter from one end and want to come out the other, it would be a decent trek. Park bridge Park fountain Park pathway
tab◞ SEMBLANCE❜The Assassin tab◞ COOLDOWN❜N/A tab◞ POST COUNT❜76 The duo that formed Murder of Crows had been in Vale on business when they got the contract on their scrolls. A million lien bounty for whoever killed the most, and a decent chunk of change for the runner ups in the competition. While Ghost normally focused on one target for a kill, this was a chance even he could not pass up. With it settled that they would be participating, they set off for the most likely place to find some people; the park. While it was night out, there was always a few park dwellers for the beauty of it after dark. Which also provided the best cover for the two to do their killings without catching too much public attention immediately; both as a place to kill and to hide the bodies so others wouldn't suspect too much. Making sure to grab what they needed to prepare for the night by grabbing dust and the tools they would need. Going into the park, the two would set up shop for the night hopefully; prepared to move to another location if need be, but hoping it wouldn't come to that.
Ghost equipment: Vambrace, Crossbow (10 bolts), 3 smoke bombs, dual swords (From his profile). Small dust: 3 Yellow, 3 White, and 2 green. Large dust: 1 Black and 2 Blue. tabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtab As the evening progressed, the duo did not have to wait long to find two victims in the park. One Ghost recognized immediately on sight, the other he knew not who they were. 'Seems we got ourselves a councilwoman.' He thought to himself silently. While not one of his original targets from the council...it would certainly not be a bad idea to get another. Even if she were only the shadow, as they were called. Ghost also noted all the extra spidery limbs...that would make things more complicated, but they should be able to take the pair of them down. He was certain in that much at least. Coming up with a plan, Ghost whispered to Akuryo. "You have the first move. Keep their attention on you; I'll see about flanking them from behind and strike when they least expect it." He would say as a rough plan for the two. While he could try something fancy to knock the two out in one blow, he doubted something that elaborate could be pulled off or if they would even have the opportunity. Simple was better just cause it was harder to mess up. He would keep to the shadows of the shrubbery in the park, relying on it and darkness to help keep his presence undetected. As Akuryo moved away, Ghost was already preparing himself. Taking out his crossbow and attaching a bolt with green dust to have ready. He would also pre-emptively have a small yellow dust ready for use with his vambrace; a sinister follow up coming to mind. Out Of Chances: Let the hunt begin
'One, two, Becky's coming for you. Three, four, your luck is so poor. Five, six, we sail the river styx. Seven, eight, the vultures haven't ate. Nine, ten, you'll never see again.'
Akuryo looked to his Scroll as he felt the vibrations while he looked to the spectre when he saw the Million Lien bounty. He smirked at his companion and walked with him quietly as he popped his neck once on each side, they made their way for the park to set up a nice area to kill, he made sure to pack his weapons while the spectre was preparing himself. Once they made sure they were ready, he followed him in to hunt for the perfect targets to start with the killing.
When they managed to find a duo in the dark, Akuryo knelt down with Ghost, hiding for the moment as he noticed the man's determined eyes. Akuryo smirked before he heard the order, pulling out a crimson knife, and one of his Black Durian blades, he strides off to the side, getting some distance as he got onto the stone walkway the two ladies were walking upon. He stood before them, on a split path, with one heading to the nearby beautiful Water Fountain of the Park and it's glorious delight of roses upon the bushes. He didn't seem to pay attention to them his eyes up at the glow of the moon, the hood of his jacket up before he brought up the red dagger. "Oh beautiful moon.... whose light is not their own..... whose body is torn asunder like mine. Please, let me share your grace, with that of ANOTHER!" With a flick of a wrist, his eyes widened and the glow of red trailed as he swung the dagger down, aiming it directly at Violet as his thoughts were that if this older female were to be a proper adult, to save a child would be the right action.
Yet, not letting up, and making sure to create a false sense, he grabbed another dagger from his bandolier and threw it, one faster than the other as the first Red Dagger would be redirected up from the ground at Violet's feet, and be shot towards her abdomen, changing the trajectory with ease as was his accurate nature. "Come.... join me in our dance under a moonlit night~" He coaxed them, keeping his distance of 30ft while his eyes eyes gazed upon them from under the moon. His aura visible and it could be seen slowly dripping off of him, like the visions of being covered in blood, he was making them knowledgeable as to who he was, this man who had been corrupted since Atlas.... this was the demon that they knew that slaughtered hundreds, the Bloody Knife himself.

•°o.O Arachne Webb O.o°• •°o.O Shadow Council Member to Ministry of Culture // Dressmaker O.o°• The night was lit by the full moon and the city seemed quiet this night. And walking through the park, the tall spider lady walked through the park as a shortcut. The shield at her back kept the wind from her legs as well as veiling the sais sheathed at either hip."Soon..."She thought to herself in a good mood since she was on a call with her family. Currently unaware of dangers for now. "Yes my spiderling, after two months away, mommy shall be home in a bit," The mature woman said into the scroll at her left ear. Though due to the quiet, it was not hard to miss the little voice on the other end saying 'Yay~! Love you, mommy' Arachne could not help but smile warmly."Soon, my darlings."The councilwoman thought. Still finding it hard to imagine it had been so long since she'd been home. And then the voice changed from the little girl to an older man; which could be guessed was her husband. A purring voice, "We look forward to your return, my love." The tall woman blushed softly at the sound of her love's voice. "Trust me, I look forward to it as well," Arachne said before looking around carefully.
Something felt like it had changed for some reason, but she didn't let her tone or walking speed change for now."You bitches are making me late,"The mature woman thought, slightly annoyed. "Be safe, Arachne," He told her, as he always did when she was walking home rather than driving. A small smile played his wife's lips. "I shall be, and please remember to hang the red ribbon on the door before I get home," She told her husband before saying goodbye and hanging up. It would be around this time that she would meet two people on her path; a dark-haired male...and a clearly intoxicated female that was on the same path as herself. Upon closer approach, Councilwoman Webb would note the girl was no older than her own twins...and intoxicated.
Frowning slightly, she was about to address this while the man by the fountain speaking seemed ready to produce a weapon; at least she thought so, it was hard to tell with blurry far-vision. Producing her shield before her, she would move swiftly to move the young woman out of the blade's path; the metal clanging to the ground when it hit Arachne's shield."Damn it! Of all nights to run into this slimeball."The spider faunus thought, annoyed as her own black aura surrounded her. "Lay down your Weapons, or I will make you." She warned him, Shield still up in one hand, her vision allowed her to see the blurry attacker while she reached out her left hand to help the girl up. If attacked, she will attempt to block again. "Get your wits about you girl, or you could get injured." She told the girl, basically telling her to prepare for battle.

Violet. Was intoxicated. It was obvious just by the way she was moving. She had a weird wobble in her walk and she was very happy. Too happy for the type of night she was in. She wasn't extremely intoxicated like a Brittany spears but she definitely had a few too many. Walking through the park, she did catch a glimpse of the councilwoman that was on a call but didn't try to pry into the conversation. It was obvious she was a faunus and deep down the feelings she usually kept within wanted to burst out. Just an angry glare and look away was given. No nasty faunus was going to bring her down. She had to get home. Her friends were waiting on her and they said that Brad was going to be coming over two for round 2 of partying! Was her outfit good enough? She usually wore this. Maybe she needed something else? These thoughts made her worry and become frantic which could be confused that the cause was by the assassin. It wasn't. Before she could come up with an outfit idea, she was knocked to her a** and looking at the Councilwoman from the ground. “Wha?!? “ She asked before grabbing her head.
The woman offered a hand up but she refused, getting up from her power, even though she stumbled getting to her feet. If she didn't have a talent in agility and a balance skill she probably would of fallen from her own movements. Hearing her cry for readiness, the girl looked at the woman rather....cautiously. Battle? What was she even talking about? Was she attacked? Why was this faunus and why should she listen to her? “Who said you make the rules?” She asked in a matter-of-fact way. She still got her suit ready, but she wanted answers. Squinting, she couldn't make out what Arachne was looking at. Was it a person? A tree? A shadow? “Come on Violet...get your...mmmm” she started before feeling like she was about to barf but smacked a fist against her chest to keep it down. 'You a big girl. You ain't no b***h. Handle your liquor girl' she thought before she couldn't handle it and started upchucking on the ground. The smell of throw up and alcohol strong. Now she felt horrible and had a taste in her mouth. YUCK!!!

Large dust: 1 Black and 2 Blue. tabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtab The plan to use Akuryo as bait was working well; his attack had the councilwoman protecting the other, shield towards Akuryo in a defensive manner. While it regrettably got her aura up, it at least meant her focus was solely on him for the moment. Leaving Ghost with a perfect shot from behind; assuming the other would not notice. Part of him was tempted to use his semblance, start learning about her, but he didn't want to risk giving away his position. He needed the element of surprise to kick things off. Still, as he raised his crossbow, he would take a moment to think as he lined up the shot to be dead center on Arachne's back. The other girl with her was not doing too well. She seemed drunk; unsteady on her feet, slow to react. If it hadn't been for the councilwoman she may've already been down for the count as an easy kill. Even as she was helped up and being defended, she didn't seem too much better. Then she decided to throw up whatever she had for dinner. Seeing this as a perfect moment to act, believing it would distract the spider more, Ghost would fire the green dust-infused bolt straight at Arachne's back.
If it hit, Arachne would feel vines entangling her from behind; trying to restrain her in a manner akin to a straight jacket. Regardless of if it hit or not, Ghost was going to press the offensive now since it would doubtless reveal someone else was there. Adding the yellow dust to his vambrace, a little extra kick, he would rush forward from his cover behind them as he simultaneously drew one of his swords. Akuryo hopefully getting a similar idea to time their attacks so they would have to defend from both sides at once; even if Akuryo would be at a distance. As Ghost ran in the dimly lit area, his attire would be much like his current image; black, as was his hair for the time being. Arms wrapped in bandages hid his vambrace, for the time being, and another sword (red in color) lay on his hip. A few circular devices were at his hip as well; seemingly attached to a belt, of sorts. His crossbow had been momentarily left behind in the brush, him noting where it was, since it would not help him too much for the moment. His choice of target would depend on whether or not his crossbow bolt was effective. If it had restrained the councilwoman, he would go after Violet. If it had failed to restrain her, he would go after Arachne. His attack would be a quick downward slash of his blue sword towards the person. If they went to block it, he would use it as a feint; continuing with the strike till contact, but letting go of his own sword once it hit and releasing his vambrace dagger. In the hope to give them a strong shock and get past their defense that way; the shield seemed like metal, so it would hopefully conduct the electricity.
Ghost equipment: Vambrace, Crossbow (9 bolts), 3 smoke bombs, dual swords (From his profile). Small dust: 2 Yellow, 3 White, and 1 green. Large dust: 1 Black and 2 Blue. Out Of Chances: Trying something new. Before time skip just small wrap up of what was important from last post. Also shows what's been used and all in a given post.
'One, two, Becky's coming for you. Three, four, your luck is so poor. Five, six, we sail the river styx. Seven, eight, the vultures haven't ate. Nine, ten, you'll never see again.'
Akuryo had managed to hit Arachne's shield as it fell to the ground, but that was where the fun had began. The very ground at her feet began to light up with heat and flame, his eyes focused on the two as they seemed not as co-ordinated of a team as he initially thought. The Female spider was close to the flames, and could easily be caught on fire as she was demanding he'd put his weapons down or she'd use force. "Bravo My dear..... but unfortunately, your force will be necessary. Otherwise this will not be as fun as I want it to be~" He teased her while the other female began to get herself ready by activating her suit. He noted the lack of weaponry she had and was wondering what she would do for combat before she blurted out about who made the rules. He grinned and stood straight, his hands to the side as he spoke. "She doesn't get to make the rules.... I do~! And for this game you two must dance in the moonlit night with me!" He was doing his part for the Spectre of course, being the bait to keep them distracted while he did his evil deeds, it only justified that he carried a sense of pride. He flicked his hands and pulled out two scalpels for each hand as he watched the line of green come for Arachne.
He needed to keep her still and with another flick, he threw a scalpel at her as he dashed towards his own target depending as to what happened with the green arrow. If Arachne was entangled, Akuryo would try and slam into her to try and knock her down and go for a throat stab, the most effective way to kill someone, but knowing her aura would be up, he'd more of make it a throat slash with his temporary twin claws of scapels. If she evaded her entanglement, he'd chose to go after Violet, aiming a swift thrust kick against her inebriated head to try and put her down back on her a** once more, switching a scalpel for a dark orange bowie knife to swipe at her if the attack put her off balance or down on her a**.

•°o.O Arachne Webb O.o°• •°o.O Shadow Council Member to Ministry of Culture // Dressmaker O.o°• The councilwoman had been hoping to get home to her family early, but it seemed Fate had other plans. Now with a difficult and unwilling (not to mention incompetent) partner, the spider faunus felt she had less chance of getting out of this easily."Come on Arachne, you've been stuck in worse situations..."She reminded herself of the missions her and her team went on. Seeing the girl clearly without having to look at her she glared slightly from behind her shield. "Not rules...Advice you stupid girl," The mature woman said harshly, not minding that Violet didn't take her hand. She would see movement behind her but if she wanted to protect the drunk child, she would need to stay put. No more could be processed as the fire would distract her. Pushing the girl away from the flames and hissing in anger, she would jump back to try and avoid as much as possible. Growling in anger as she saw something green coming at her, she would turn to the side in time to avoid it, catching sight of a black blur coming at her swiftly."Damn it!"The councilwoman thought, visibly pissed off. "You, girl, get out of here...While you can!" Arachne commanded; clearly thinking the girl incapable. But in truth...she would rather the girl not get hurt any further...Drunk as she was, Violet was still a child in the woman's eyes.
Despite her blurred vision, she would hold up her shield while drawing one of sais, while standing in their way of the girl."Alright, so they are coming at us from both sides,"The mature woman thought bracing for impact from whichever enemy decided to go after her; which turned out to be the crossbow attacker; trusting Violet's back against hers while the dagger-psycho went after the girl. She would lift her shield to try and defend her neck while striking with her sai to stab at the assassin."I'm sorry, my loves...Seems I shall be late."The spider faunus thought solemnly as she thought of her family before thoughts quickly returned to the battle at hand, hissing as she felt the jolts from the dagger that hit the shield passing from it, down through her body. "You ******** p***k." She growled as she moved in such a way that would dislodge the sword from her shield, trying to regain sensation in her limbs; sai still tight in her grip. four pairs of eyes glowered at the assassin. Shield up, she would see Violet in her vision before giving Ghost a "come and get me" look before moving away from Akuryo and Violet. Her thoughts of making space enough that she could safely activate her semblance.

Why was this happening now? Why couldn't she chosen another way home. This was ridiculous, but it was nothing like the fight or flight system in ones body to get you into at least a semi okay state. She never imagined her death be like this. She imagined other more pleasurable ways for death. Like, you know, of old age! This faunus lady was being a pain in the a** and as much as she wanted to reject the lady, she was at least being helpful and seemed to be in the same position. She had dealt with her teammates. This shouldn't be too much of an issue even if she wanted to just cringe at the thought. The green line was dodged and with Violet half dying, she at least would miss the attack by it going past her while she was bent over and half dying from alcohol. She wanted to run. Well, the lady wanted her to run and while that seem like a perfect idea to let them deal with her and be one less faunus in the world, Violets inner moral compass decided just this once to not think for herself. Besides, creepy as these people are who knows what they try do to her.
Looking up, she would see that the male was closing in on them. Her suit would immediately activate, going to try and ensnare the male with her wires. Wires would go for each of his limbs hoping to dig and slice into the body. If he dodged, it would at least give them time since he would have to change his path of advancement. While she had no weapons, her suit was more than capable enough to take care of these guys. Kind of ironic given her partner at the moment was a spider. “I going to need for you to....back........off” she stated as she struggled to breathe just because she was hating the taste in her mouth. Couldn't they take a time out so she could wash out her mouth. Maybe some listorine? She didn't think it would be possible though. She knew better. She just hated this position.

Large dust: 1 Black and 2 Blue. tabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtabtab It seemed Ghost's shot was foiled by quick reflexes from the councilwoman; how she saw the shot in time to dodge was, for the moment, out of his knowledge. But it mattered little; element of surprise gone he had to use this surprise attack to his own advantage. Akuryo's own attacks seemed to be keeping them backpedaling rather than launching an offensive of their own, which would be good if they could continue that. 'Don't give them time to think,' he thought silently as he continued his run to her with his plan in mind. As he got closer, he would see she had armed herself with a sai as well in one hand. From an assassin point of view, it was regrettable this was not a clean kill. From Ghost's point of view though...this would just make this more fun. Keeping in mind all her armaments he could currently see, being the sai and shield, he would continue with his plan but with one small alteration. As her sai would come from one side and he swung his sword towards her shield, he would use his other arm to block the stab; a slate grey aura flashing from the hit as it stopped the momentum and absorbed the blow for him. That danger temporarily receded, he would continue with his feint by letting go of his sword that was now wedged in the shield to stab at the shield's front; a surge of electricity going from his vambrace dagger, through the shield, to his target. Smiling as he heard her curse and call him a p***k, he would step back as she moved and dislodged his sword; the weapon hitting the ground with a thud and falling to its side. His eyes were now glowing a violet color as he looked to the councilwoman; seemingly amused by a slight smile playing his lips as he thought of what to do next.
He would see her eyes travel to Akuryo and the girl, who now seemed to have cables coming from her suit, before looking back to him; glower still in her eyes as she was beginning to move away from the two. Ghost had a feeling he knew what she was doing; she was trying to get him away from the girl with Akuryo. 'Noble till the end, huh,' he thought silently. He had little choice but to follow her...he couldn't risk her running away on the hope she would attack if he went to help Akuryo. Ghost would pick up his fallen sword and move to follow her...but he would do one thing first. As he followed quickly after the councilwoman, he would take out his large black dust crystal and throw it at the ground towards the girl's (Violet) feet. "Black!" was all Ghost would say towards the two; signaling to Akuryo that it was heavy gravity dust coming their way so he could prepare. It mean the girl could potentially do so as well, but he felt Akuryo would benefit most from it. If it worked, her wires would be severely weighed down. So would Akuryo's knives, and perhaps himself, but it would neuter what seemed to be the girls main defense/ offense. Without skipping a beat he would continue after the councilwoman with his eyes on her as his semblance worked on picking up her secrets. "You won't be able to get very far, Shadow," he would call out to the councilwoman, letting her know he knew who she was. He was unsure how to proceed with her guard up; he still had two uses of his lightning dust with his dagger but not much for range as he didn't feel he had enough time to get his crossbow. Learning, as he pursued her, what her primary talent was; natural intimidation. It only made him smile to think on as it would not stop him. His plan for now was just to close the distance and keep up the offense; this time, once close, he would throw his sword towards her head once he was within five feet of her as a distraction; trying to get her to raise her shield high enough he could tackle her lower body and knock her over. If she did not raise it high enough, or merely dodged to the side, he would go continue his run to a nearby tree and go partway up it before kicking off of it. This would have him coming at her from above with his dagger ready to unleash an electric stab; and his body weight to hopefully bring her to the ground as well even if she blocked.

'One, two, Becky's coming for you. Three, four, your luck is so poor. Five, six, we sail the river styx. Seven, eight, the vultures haven't ate. Nine, ten, you'll never see again.'
Akuryo was satisfied that the fire put the Spider Faunus slightly off-guard as he charged in on Violet while the spectre intercepted the Councilwoman. He still retained the orange dagger as he was going for the hard kick till he noticed something strange move. He was on one leg and her suit was coming to life before him. He pivoted his left foot as he was more than caught off guard as he panic kicked away with his left leg, landing on his a** to avoid the initial attack and rolling backwards to avoid her wires. He looked to see the Ghost fighting the Councilwoman and following her as she was leading him away, making this into two 1-on-1 battles. But he was given a gift as he saw a glint making it's way towards them as he looked back to her, pulling out another Black Gravity dust and throwing it up and over like a lob ball to aim for behind her. He kept his distance while he backed up as the dust exploded into an area of increased gravity. He couldn't hit her immediately with throwing daggers so he'd have to plan as he kept one orange dagger at the ready. He moved around and began to run towards her left to try and keep her still in one area incase she evaded the first black dust she would be stuck for the second one falling.

•°o.O Arachne Webb O.o°• •°o.O Shadow Council Member to Ministry of Culture // Dressmaker O.o°• The councilwoman had moved her shield to her guard her back after goading the assassin into chasing her. Hearing the male shout out "Black", she had a feeling that was not meant for her; she knew he wasn't That stupid. With her vision of the girl and the blade-thrower out of her clear sight, she kept putting distance between them and herself. Was it enough, she honestly wasn't sure, but she knew she had to do it."The sooner, the better,"She told herself calmly. She would have to risk it. "You know me...but, I don't get the pleasure of knowing you," The councilwoman retorted, though a part of her wondered how much bragging this infant would do."I will not make it easy for you!"The councilwoman vowed to herself.
Once it felt far enough would be when she stopped, turned to face him at the same time her shield would be held in front of her person. Coincidentally, she would duck behind her shield, bending her knees as his sword struck with a loud GONG!"Ugh! You a**,"The mature woman didn't get much more thoughts as she would see him clear in her sights coming out of her shield as he was bounding off the tree. Holding her stance as he came at her, the giantess would hold up her shield but parry with her sai. Her black aura would activate her semblance on the shadowed ground, beginning her sticky web around her. His weight and impact did put her to bending her knees after bracing."Damn. Needs to be now."The spider faunus would grit her teeth as she would feel the shocking effects. In pain, she would refuse to cry out, denying him the satisfaction. The first two rings of the web already in place, she would push him off, hopefully having him step on them. "Situation's more sticky than I expected. Bravo," She told him, though her voice was a little shaky due to the jitters of the lightning despite the strength of her aura. Little did she knew she was only little more than half her needed distance (at 38 feet rather than 60) as the web continued to form.

¨YEAH. Scared now huh...eghh"Violet shouted as the attacker fell on his a** and was retreating like a scared pup. They chose the wrong one to be attacking. Especially when all she wanted to do was just lay down. The suit was her weapon but that didn´t mean it was useless. She always wondered how people underestimated what it could actually do? Amazing sometimes. She was about to follow up, another launching of her wires would go but instead of going out they would be heavily weighted and pushed to the ground along with an increase in gravity around. While, that was nifty, it wasn´t like Violet cared to do that much movement anyhow. She had good balance though so that would help when and if the enemy came while the dust was still in effect. The dust of Ghost was the one that hit while Akuryo would simply end up being thrown over her head. The anticipation that she was going to step backwards being wrong. Maybe the word black should of meant something to her so she could avoid them both. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Even with the weighted difference, Violet continued to let out her wires! The wires laying on the ground and moving outward would make a little web pattern around her body almost. With wires outward around her almost like a star (imagine violet the center of the star and the points of the start the wires) she would then activate her electricity dust to make the wires become electrified. It was a defensive move. Her idea, to keep Akuryo at bay while the gravity dust runs it course. If he wanted to meet her, he would have to navigate through her electricity wire field that was on the ground that kind of reminded the woman of a broken powerline.
OOC: Lemme know if need fixing. it made sense in my head.

'One, two, Becky's coming for you. Three, four, your luck is so poor. Five, six, we sail the river styx. Seven, eight, the vultures haven't ate. Nine, ten, you'll never see again.'
Akuryo wasn't at all scared, but he wasn't prepared for the fact a suit could've been made a weapon. She was caught in the first sphere of increased gravity as he was backing away. He was slowly walking around with her as his dust detonated a small distance away, with no one there unfortunately. He looked down as he noticed her wires were still growing with the slight movements of grass all around her. He slowly backed away, trying to plan an attack before he noticed the movement of all the wires were stopping, slowly bunching up as his own feet got stuck in place. He looked down, wondering what the hell happened before she began to light up the place with live electricity. Akuryo was just out of range before he soon had an idea. "I'll show you true fear alright." He told her with a grin before he brought out a large-bladed knife and with a quick swipe, a pedestal appeared within the gravity increased area before darkness consumed the entire area around her and Akuryo. The Pedestal was between the two, but all sight was gone. He threw a few daggers high up as he could see her clearly, even though the lightning was going on, there was no indicator they were still active in the darkness.
With movements hidden, he could do anything, expect walk or jump due to some sticky residue that prevented him from moving, but what she couldn't see was that there were three daggers going high and were arcing down to descend upon her, with the gravity increasing the speed the moment the daggers entered the field. Just to ensure he wasn't JUST playing Lawn Darts with sharp knives, he grabbed a Butcher's Knife and threw it hard in a arc to compensate for the boosted gravity as it's trajectory would have it aimed at her abdomen.

Her comment of him knowing her, but her not getting the pleasure of knowing him. He had been almost tempted to respond and give his alias; after all, it would not be traced to him. But, rather than fall for the trap so many "villains" had in media, he was content to remain silent on it. 'She will either know it in death, or have it looming over her trying to figure out who is working with the bloody knife,' was his simple thought process on it. Even if it was the more boring way of doing things. He had debated trying to restrain her legs with his grapple line as she retreated, but he also saw the benefit in separating; Akuryo could handle himself, and his semblance was not exactly ally friendly. Nor did he need the girl with the plethora of wires trying to support the councilwoman; 'Divide and conquer,' he thought to himself as he chased her through the park. Not too far, lest she perhaps get overrun he imagined was her thought process, but far enough to make intervening in one another's battles more difficult. As she stopped and turned, allowing Ghost to rapidly close the gap, he would throw his sword and find it deflected; the woman ducking behind her shield rather than raising it. It did not give him pause though. He always had a plan b, a way to adapt to new circumstances. The council woman, to her credit, would hold her ground and parry his vambrace dagger; shield held to block his body. Thankfully, his weapon only needed to connect as electricity was sent coursing through their weapons contact, but she did not fall from his assault. She went down a little but still stood as her black aura became visible; and a lay of web shot out over the ground to cover the terrain. 'Clever girl,' he thought to himself as he felt her go for a counter push with her shield. Being knocked back, Ghost was fortunate enough to land on a patch of ground between the webs and dodged backwards for a moment. Mostly lucks, but partially skill, he would not be restrained by the webs.
'Judging by the aura she had the webs must be from her semblance,' he thought to himself as it was expanding. It would make him have to be very careful with his footing. He would hear her comment the situation was more sticky than expected, and give a bravo...though it was equal parts genuine and sarcastic. Ghost would smile and give a shrug to her 'This one does have a tongue,' he thought amusedly. At the same time, he would learn a weakness of hers; after fifteen feet, everything was blurry with her only being able to identify shapes and colors. A very useful bit of information, if he kept it in mind for future. "The same can be said for you. It is rare I have a competent opponent,' he would say, glowing violet eyes locked on Arachne, before springing into action. Time was certainly not his ally in this situation, unlike normal assassination missions. The competition cared about number of heads more so than quality, and they had to make sure these two did not escape either. Eyes to the ground to study it briefly, he would charge Arachne while timing his strides to avoid touching the webs; not sure what they would do but not wanting to risk contact. As he charged, he would draw his other blade and add some white dust to it; imbuing it with some wind. Given all his other attacks had been feints, he would change it up with this one slightly; instead of using the blade as distraction, he would go for a slash towards her sai as he expected her to either parry, block, our counter attack. If she did none of that though he would merely attack her shield with it; the wind dust would add significant pushing force to the blow to hopefully break her guard or perhaps disarm her. Her shield was proving to be more and more a nuisance as time went on, but he figured if he could remove one of her main weapons with this attack it should make thing easier. He was prepared to use his vambrace dagger as well, if opportunity arose, but for now it was a backup.
