Age: 19
Height: 6' 2''
Weight: ~200 lbs

-
(lets start guys)
-
Ray sat in the basement of his ground-level apartment, a few fold-out tables strewn about. He was planning on something big, something to help him pay his debts.
-
(Well, I'll join in too. Also, anyone else unfamiliar with this who's reading this post, please check out the "Acention City" thread for further details.)
Name: Zanthe Kalonike (Real name is Nicole A. Hendrix
)
Age: Never tells, but appears to be under 25
Height: 5 feet, 10 inches
Weight: 149 lbs.
Species: Catfox
Clothing: Varies; she uses a lot of disguises. At home, she normally just wears a tank top of varying length and a pair of pajama pants or something of the like, and in public she dresses in a way that keeps her lower back covered, no matter what.
Personality: Despite her job, she's actually rather kind, once someone gets to know her. She'd rather have a normal life, but due to certain circumstances, she is unable to for at least a few more years.
Other: Her main, and also rather secret, job is that of a partially freelance assassin, a job she had to take as part of the aforementioned circumstances. She also does tech support under an alias, and takes a few odd jobs here and there. She has a tattoo of a winged skull on her lower back with the letters DIE tattooed just underneath it, but the letters are actually initials...
In addition, Zanthe is a moderate supernatural being known as a coyote, and has the following abilities:
Heightened strength
Heightened resistance to magic (mind and body control spells don't work on her)
Heightened senses
Slightly accelerated healing capabilities
Can shapeshift into a feral coyote
Has the ability to detect magic
She's not overly powerful, but is stronger than the average anthro. Stronger, heavier people can still give her trouble though.
(And that's who I'll start with, I suppose. :P)

-
*Seth was in his house*
-
Flicking an ear, Zanthe opened her eyes as she awoke her from her catnap, the lights of the nearby city visible from her position on the couch. "Hmm... That rain should help the plants grow," she said, stretching gently so as to avoid reopening the wound in her upper side. The night before had been tough even for someone of her talents, but she was alive, nonetheless. Standing up, the catfox walked into the small kitchen of her safehouse, smoothing her fur out as she went to get a glass of water.
-
Name: Drago Destiny Draklight,
Age:18
Height: 7ft 4
Weight: 160kg
Species: Angelic Dragon
Clothing: He is currently wearing black boots and camo cargo pants, he wears a plain navy blue t-shirt and always has a pair of his favorite (secretly indestructible) sunglasses.
Personality: Witty, Warm-hearted and friendly, tidy, thoughtful and sympathetic, social, cool headed, hard-working and honset, but sometimes likes to joke around, intelligent and curious, brave and open minded, diplomatic and slightly emotional.
Other-
Currently studying a double degree in Mechanical and Mechatronic engineering, has a scholarship at the best university at Ascension, he is very bright and a well respected and popular individual, who loves to exercise and is always looking to learn.
His family is one of the richest in the Ascension and highly influential but are quite mad that Drago is going into engineering rather than Medicine or Political
Weapons- ..he has a pen and some kitchen knives
Appearance- Drago is a golden Dragon with white angel wings. He is has a muscular build with very warming and calm eyes. He however has a tattoo on his chest of a red dragon spewing black flames.
Drago's house-
From the outside this house looks posh and extravagant, it has been built with tan bricks and has poplar wooden decorations. Tall, squared windows add to the overall style of the house and have been added to the house in a mostly symmetric way.
The house is equipped with an average kitchen and one average bathroom, it also has a large living room, four bedrooms, a snug dining area and a small garage.
The building is fairly rounded in shape. The house is half surrounded by overgrown wooden overhanging panels.
The second floor is the same size as the first, but part of it hangs over the edge of the floor below, creating an overhang on one side and a balcony on the other. This floor has a very different style than the floor below.
The roof is low and square shaped and is covered with seagrass. One large chimney sits at the side of the house. Many smaller windows let in plenty of light to the rooms below the roof.
The house itself is surrounded by a well kept garden, with a grass field and flower patches at the edges of the garden.
(note any of you touch my house and your dead (; )

Drago walked outside his home and locked the door, he gave himself a quick pat for his wallet, phone, and his earphones/ musical device. With a happy nod he threw his keys in the air and walked over to his vechile and stopped.
' I think a stroll today, i have no school today so i think i might see whats happening today' Drago though happily.
Drago began strolling down the pavement towards the unknown that was toady.

Using Fluffy (link in signature, too long to copy-paste)
Replaced:
-Job to Nightclub security officer.
-Attire to sports sunglasses, knee long jacket, cargo pants and high boots + job uniform.
-He keeps his powersuit folded nearby.
-
(I've given it some thought, and I believe that, this time around, Zanthe might have a few supernatural abilities. Nothing huge, but definitely a few good ones. Should I PM you about this, Red, or would you prefer I added it to her profile?)
Zanthe got the water container out of the refrigerator, then searched around for a glass.
-
Fluffy was taking a walk in city center... playing Ingress.
-
Acon strutted down the street as if she owned the place. Her confidence was clear for all to see as her six inch heels clacked against the sidewalk. As she moved, Acon pushed past several furs in her way, the rest just stepped to the side and glared at the back of her head.
-
*Seth was getting ready for a case in the nearby court*
-
Ray, satisfied with his plans, stepped out of the basement. "Gonna need a few extra paws, though. Hmm...can't get the Don's boys, he'd want a cut on top of what I owe him." He sat down on an old beaten futon, and sighed, his brow creased in thought.
-
Drago walked down the pavement towards the CBD with a smile on his face, he couldn't be more happier. He gave kind nods and warm smiles to passerby's.
-
Fluffy changed direction to head to the nightclub he's working at.
-
Zanthe unwrapped the bandages and looked at herself. The injury, thankfully, had not been that bad, and was looking better already. Sighing, the catfox applied new bandages to herself and decided to take some time to clean her weapons off. (Red, did you see my message? Also, if it's way too long, I can shorten it.)
-
Ray stepped out of his apartment in simple attire; black t-shirt, khaki cargo pants. He wandered about, looking for anyone willing to work with him.
-
Locking the door behind her, Zanthe stepped into the light, dressed in fairly casual clothes. She had disguised herself a little, her fur colored a light tan today, and she had made her eyes a chocolate brown color using fake contacts. As the catfox walked down the sidewalk, she touched the handgun tucked into her waistband beneath her long-sleeved button-down shirt. While she hoped that she wouldn't have to use it, it was better to be safe than sorry. The same went for the other weapons she had concealed on her person.
-
Zanthe gently sniffed the air and glanced around, getting the oddest feeling that someone might be nearby.
-
Ray spotted Zanthe, and smiled slightly as she adjusted the gun in her waistband. He then approached her, slowly. "Excuse me, miss?"
-
Hearing Ray's approach, Zanthe turned her head slightly to observe Ray. "... Hello," she said, her facial expression remaining somewhat neutral. "Did you need something?"
-
Ray smiled. "I'm looking for a particular set of paws for a particular line of work, and you fit the bill."
-
Zanthe sized Ray up, body language and all, before looking into his eyes. He must've seen her touching her gun; he needed an extra hand, alright. "... Is there somewhere quiet we can talk?" she asked, hooking her thumbs in her pockets.
-
Ray nodded. "My place, if you want. We can also head to your place, if you wish to have the 'home field advantage'."
-
Zanthe nodded slowly, glad that she had thought to acquire a fake safehouse just in case. "We can go to my place, I suppose," she said, thinking of her injuries from the previous night and taking into consideration Ray's height compared to hers. The catfox motioned for Ray to walk beside her. "Do you have a name?"
-
Ray nodded, and walked beside Zanthe. "Many. Though 'Ray' works just fine."
-
The catfox looked over at Ray and extended a hand. "Zanthe," she said, giving away no sign of how she felt.
-
Ray smiled, and gripped Zanthe's paw. "Charmed." He looked about a moment, before he spoke. "Have you ever shot anyone, miss Zanthe?"
-
Despite herself, Zanthe's shoulders tensed a little as Ray asked that question. "That depends on why you're asking, Mr. Ray," she said quietly, glancing around herself.
-
Ray smiled. "I'm no fed, miss Zanthe. It's just a question, fitting for one who carries a firearm with them."
-
Ray smiled. "I'm no fed, miss Zanthe. It's just a question, fitting for one who carries a firearm with them."
Zanthe looked up at Ray; so he had seen her gun. "... A couple of times, I suppose," she said with a shrug. "When it was necessary."
-
Ray smiled. "Good. How far away is your place?"
-
"Not that far," Zanthe said, heading towards the fake safehouse. "... While we're on the topic, have you shot anyone, Ray?"
-
Ray nodded. "Yes. Too many to count, and I remember each one."

-
"Don't we all?" the catfox said, only slightly catching Zaida's scent as she passed the factory and passing it off as someone else who had walked by, her mind preoccupied with the job at hand. After walking up the stairs of an abandoned condominium to the second floor house, Zanthe pulled out a set of keys and worked at finding the one for the door. "It's somewhat difficult the first time, isn't it?" she said, glancing over at Ray as she slid the key into the lock.
-
Ray shook his head. "No, it's not. I've never had a problem, not after...nevermind." He smiled. "Anyway, this is your home?"
-
Zanthe glanced back at Ray as the door opened. "Perhaps," she said, not giving him a straight answer as she held the door. "Head on in."
-
Ray furrowed his brow slightly, before he stepped inside. He kept close to the door, waiting for Zanthe to enter.
-
Stepping inside, Zanthe closed the door behind her and walked into the main area, pulling a chair out for Ray. "Water?" she asked.
-
Ray nodded, and sat. "Thank you, miss Zanthe."
-
Fetching two glasses, Zanthe filled them both with water and returned to the table, taking the seat opposite Ray. "So," she said, after taking a sip of her water. "I don't suppose you came here for a glass of water."
-
Geoff lounged on a bus stop bench, his drooping eyes watching a couple of civilians board the bus and head out to whatever business they had. He wasn't there to be picked up, for he was just resting. Only recently did the wandering bear set foot in this city with no goal in mind aside from exploring a new location. Maybe it will be easier for him to survive here, or maybe even harder. He really didn't care either way. Whatever happens happens.
-
Ray nodded. "Of course, now onto business. You are a capable person, one I could use in an upcoming project." He smiled. "A nightclub holding paper bills and illicit drugs is in need of a 'cleaning'."
-
Ray nodded. "Of course, now onto business. You are a capable person, one I could use in an upcoming project." He smiled. "A nightclub holding paper bills and illicit drugs is in need of a 'cleaning'."
Zanthe cocked an eyebrow. "How many people would be there?" she asked.
-
Ray shrugged. "Daylight raid, weekend...possibly five hundred, maybe more."
-
Zanthe nodded thoughtfully. "... Five hundred," she said with a slight whistle. "Will there be others helping? Five hundred is a pretty big number."
-
Ray shook his head. "Not at the moment, no."
-
"I see," Zanthe said. "Well... how soon were you planning on cleaning this place up? I might be able to handle it, but, well..."
-
Geoff began to lightly drift off as he lay curled up on the bench with the strap of his backpack twisted around his arm. It wasn't the most comfortable position to sleep in, but he preferred it over some thief easily snatching what little possessions he owned.
-
*seth walked to the courthouse,having a umbrella*
-
Ray smiled. "Tomorrow."
-
Zanthe kept a cool expression, but in her head she let out a small explative. "...I see," she said, sighing. "Did you still need the building?"
-
Ray nodded. "Terrorists we are not, miss Zanthe. The building will still stand."
-
Zanthe closed her eyes and thought for a second. "... Do any civilians come to this place? Also, after the place is closed, do the five hundred people hang around?"
-
Ray nodded. "It will be in business while we do this, miss Zanthe. You will keep the civilians in check, as I raid the back rooms."
-
Zanthe closed her eyes and thought. "So what you're saying is... you need a distraction?" she said.
-
"Rather someone who can control the front. I cannot be in two places." Ray smiled. "Are you going through with it? Because I really don't want to clean up my tracks."
-
Zanthe hesitated for a brief second, then nodded. "I'll help you," she said. "What exactly do you need me to do? What do I specifically need to worry about here?" The catfox met Ray's eyes. "I apologize if this is annoying, but with larger jobs like this, precision can save time and lives." She decided not to mention how she had been shot at and wounded the day before.
-
Ray smiled. "You'll have to worry about civilians, any private guards, and possibly the police."
-
Zanthe closed her eyes and nodded. "I don't particularly like to tangle with the police," she said. "But I suppose that can't be helped sometimes." The catfox gingerly rubbed her side. "... I'll make sure there's no one in the back."
-
Ray raised an eyebrow. "Injured yourself?"
-
Zanthe shrugged. "I wasn't being as careful as I should have been," she said. "I should be more or less fine by tomorrow. The bullet only grazed me."
-
Ray smiled slightly. "You want me to take a look? I understand if you don't, but I'd rather you be one-hundred percent before tomorrow, so you may adjust."
-
The catfox gave Ray a questioning look, hesitating once again. "...If it'll make you feel better, I suppose you could take a look," she said, standing up. "I'll get my medical supplies."
-
Ray nodded, and pulled a matchbook from his pocket, along with a small roll of tape.
-
After a minute, Zanthe returned with a medical kit and set it on the table. "Have you done this kind of thing before?" she said, unbuttoning her shirt.
-
Ray nodded. "Several times, to myself and others." He pulled the matches from the matchbook, and taped them together. He pulled the medical kit close, and opened it. "When you've removed your shirt, lay down, with your injury facing up."
-
Zanthe cocked an eyebrow, slipping her shirt off and setting it on her chair beside the medical kit. "One moment," she said, clearing the glasses from the table before climbing onto it. She tried her best to keep the tattoos on her lower back hidden as she unwrapped her bandages and laid down, her face towards Ray. The injury was on her left side, close to her ribcage. It looked surprisingly far along for a bullet graze. "Like this?" she said.
-
"Perfect." Ray inspected the wound, or what was left, and nodded. "Seems like everything's fine. But..." He took a few tongue depressors, taped them together, and then held it in front of Zanthe. "Bite this, tightly." As he held it, Ray pulled the matchbook in front of Zanthe, and placed the match-bundle beside it.
-
Zanthe looked at Ray for a moment, then bit down on the tongue-depressor bundle. As she did, she relaxed her body, prepared for whatever might happen.
-
Ray lit the matches, and pressed them against Zanthe's wound, closing the rest of it with the smell of burning fur and flesh.
-
Zanthe bit down hard on the tongue depressor bundle, willing herself to keep still as Ray closed the injury. This man must be very tough if he's done this before... I can hardly handle it myself.
-
Fluffy arrived at the nightclub, half hour before beginning of his shift. He needed to deactivate motion sensors and prepare everything for arrival of staff members. His shift begins 2 hours before opening.
-
Drago walks by a Nightclub and makes a mental note to 'relax' in a couple of hours, but Drago just kept walking down the street
-
Fluffy's coworkers began arriving. They were about to let in nightclub staff.
-
Acon sat on a bench along the street and watched the people walk past her as they made their way home and to the clubs that started opening up. She sat back and crossed her legs as she lit a cigar, admiring the city lights and the people under them.
-
Geoff opened his eyes briefly before stretching his body out on the bench (different from Acon's). No one had woken him up, surprisingly. He untangled the backpack strap and worked the aching muscles in his arm, repeatedly bending it toward and away from himself. Now somewhat refreshed, it was time to explore the city more.
The bear searched through his backpack, checking if he had left any snacks inside. To his disappointment, there was none. All the objects he owned were clothes, a pocket knife, a wooden khopesh sword, an out-of-service cellphone, an electronic tablet, some notebooks, and various odds things he collected that may or may not be of use. Despite being generally detached from material objects, he enjoyed collecting discarded non-valuables that his eyes happened to fall upon. He especially liked spherical shapes, so much of his collection consisted of marbles, bouncy balls, and unstrung beads found lying about on the streets and the nooks and crannies of abandoned buildings.
One of his favorite findings was the orange crystal necklace which hung around his neck. He wasn't sure if it was a real crystal, but that didn't matter to him. It was still beautiful and still made him happy. That's pretty much all he really wanted. That was why he tried to travel as much as he could; the thrill kept him content.
-
*Seth sigh's getting to the courthouse,he opens the doors and closes his umbrella looking at the front desk*"Hey,Shia"
-
*he sits in the court room*
-
(Would you like me to play some NPCs to get the court case going?)
-
Fluffy was sitting near the staff enterance next to bar. Club was about to get opened in one and half hour.
-
Geoff began exploring the city. He thought about finding a place to take shelter in instead of laying around on the street.
-
Ray pulled the matches away, and shook them out. "There, you should be all set. Don't move, though, let that burn set. You might tear it open again if you move." He smiled, and sat. "Anything else I need to know about, miss Zanthe?"
-
(Would you like me to play some NPCs to get the court case going?)
(fine with me)
-
Geoff leaned against the wall not far from Zaida, looking through his wallet. Maybe he still had some money left to buy some food.
-
Geoff glanced at the fur before trying to neatly stuff the money back in his wallet. A quarter dropped to the ground and rolled a short distance away, but he didn't notice.
-
Ray pulled the matches away, and shook them out. "There, you should be all set. Don't move, though, let that burn set. You might tear it open again if you move." He smiled, and sat. "Anything else I need to know about, miss Zanthe?"
Zanthe looked up at Ray, staying on the table as he had told her to. "Yes," she said. "Since this isn't exactly a private operation, I will have to come in disguise. There are discerning things about me that would get me picked up by the police, so I'll be coming as a black cat." The catfox gave Ray a small, closed-mouth, business-like smile. "The burn should be gone by then. Thank you for the help with that, by the way. In addition, you may want to bring some extra clothes."
The people filed into the court room, taking up the seats behind Seth as the opposing lawyers took their place behind the other bench. (Just let me know how you want the case to go! ^w^)
-
1 hour left. Janitors and three bartenders were walking by him most of the time.
-
Ray smiled. "Everything is set on my end, miss Zanthe. I have everything set at my apartment."
-
Zanthe made a small noise of understanding, nodding once. "If you're willing to wait about an hour, I can disguise myself and we can head over there to discuss the remaining details," she said, twitching her tail tip a little and glancing down her body at her side, which was already at a point in healing that should've taken at least twelve hours. "Is it alright to move now?"
-
Geoff stuffed the wallet back in his pocket and continued walking down the street, leaving the quarter behind.
-
Ray nodded. "Yes, it's fine to move now."
-
Sitting up, Zanthe got off of the table and picked up her shirt, quickly slipping it on. For a few moments, her tattoos were visible. "This will take only a moment," she said, closing her medical kit. "Thank you, Ray." With those words, she slipped into the bedroom/bathroom of the condo and closed the door.
-
Ray pulled the matches away, and shook them out. "There, you should be all set. Don't move, though, let that burn set. You might tear it open again if you move." He smiled, and sat. "Anything else I need to know about, miss Zanthe?"
Zanthe looked up at Ray, staying on the table as he had told her to. "Yes," she said. "Since this isn't exactly a private operation, I will have to come in disguise. There are discerning things about me that would get me picked up by the police, so I'll be coming as a black cat." The catfox gave Ray a small, closed-mouth, business-like smile. "The burn should be gone by then. Thank you for the help with that, by the way. In addition, you may want to bring some extra clothes."
The people filed into the court room, taking up the seats behind Seth as the opposing lawyers took their place behind the other bench. (Just let me know how you want the case to go! ^w^)
*he looks at his watch before looking at the witness stand*
-
With everyone finally here, the judge entered. "All rise," the bailiff said, a cue for everyone to stand up.
-
With everyone finally here, the judge entered. "All rise," the bailiff said, a cue for everyone to stand up.
*seth stands up looking at the baliff*
-
The judge sits. "Please be seated," said the bailiff.
As soon as the bedroom door was closed, Zanthe quickly got to work, getting her disguise kit out and readying the bathroom.
-
*he sits with a brow raised*
-
(.... So what kind of case should this be? o-o)
-
(Murder,my dear Watson)
-
"Today," the judge said, "We are here to try Mr./Miss _______ ______ for the murder of _______ ______." (Are you the prosecution or the defendant?)
-
Ray smiled, and waited patiently for Zanthe. He went over the plan in his head, along with the cuts. Most likely fifty/fifty, but perhaps fifty-five/forty-five? I did pull this together, after all. He shrugged. Oh well.
-
About an hour after Zanthe entered the bedroom, the door clicked and a blue eyed black cat wearing jeans and a cut-off tank top entered the room, carrying the button-down shirt Zanthe had been wearing earlier. "I'm sorry if it took a while," she said, slipping on the shirt and starting to button it up. "I had to make sure that certain markings on my body were concealed, and it's hard to look at one's own back."
-
"Today," the judge said, "We are here to try Mr./Miss _______ ______ for the murder of _______ ______." (Are you the prosecution or the defendant?)
(defendent...and the names are Mr.Abdul Sahwit and Cecilia Sahwit)
-
Ray shrugged. "I understand. Now, we've got to get to my place. I've got everything we need."
-
Zanthe nodded and tucked her gun into her waistband. "Of course," she said, cleaning up and heading back to the front door. "Where is your place?"
The judge checked the papers. "On June 5th of this year, Mrs. Cecilia Sawhit was found dead due to ___________________________________________. It is believed that her husband, Mr. Abdul Sawhit, is the culprit due to the folowing information: _______________. Furthermore...."
Mr. Sawhit sat beside Red, doing his best to remain calm. He had told Red many times that he was not the culprit. In truth, he did not really seem like the murdering type.
-
Geoff uncomfortably wandered a store to buy some food. It took him a long time to make a decision, for he had to be very careful with his money.
-
Nightclub should be open soon.
There were people already waiting at the entrance.
-
Acon, before the streets became too crowded with the night life, slunk away into an all night cafe by the name of Scarlet and waited by the windows to watch any action that may unfold.
-
Ray started out of Zanthe's apartment. "Follow me, miss Zanthe."
-
After leaving the store, Geoff searched for decent shelter.
-
Zanthe nodded and tucked her gun into her waistband. "Of course," she said, cleaning up and heading back to the front door. "Where is your place?"
The judge checked the papers. "On June 5th of this year, Mrs. Cecilia Sawhit was found dead due to ___________________________________________. It is believed that her husband, Mr. Abdul Sawhit, is the culprit due to the folowing information: _______________. Furthermore...."
Mr. Sawhit sat beside Red, doing his best to remain calm. He had told Red many times that he was not the culprit. In truth, he did not really seem like the murdering type.
(Cyanide poisoning and because he was possibly the only person with her at the time)
*seth calmly grabbed his papers*
-
Grabbing a case full of supplementary disguise equipment, Zanthe followed Ray out of the condo, locking the door behind her. "How far will we be walking?" she said, walking a little behind Ray to make it look like they weren't exactly together.
"... So, based on these facts," the accusing lawyer said, "it must have been Mr. Sawhit. He had access to the cyanide and to Mrs. Sawhit, and as far as we know, he had a solid motive." The lawyer looked at the judge. "That will be all, your honor," they said before sitting down.
The judge banged the gavel twice. "The defense will now present their side of the case."
-
Ray smiled. "Not far. It's just down the street."
-
"Hmm... That's convenient," Zanthe said, scanning the street for any signs of trouble. "Ray, I have to ask you something... What kind of nightclub is this? What's the normal style of dress? What kinds of people go there?"
-
Nightclub was full of people. DJ was doing his job, as the EDM music could be heard outside. Bartender was all busy. Most of the people were this kind of persons, you'd see on a party or concert. This club is all about partying.
The interior is colourful, due to dynamic, flashing lighting and lasers. There is a separated area for drinking, smoker's sector, dancefloor, VIP sector.
It's also known among criminals as Russian mafia ambit, but only selected could meet them. They had a separated area of VIP sector, rid of any surveillance. Most of the time they were trading illegal goods, like weapons or drugs. Fluffy is aware of that. But it doesn't matter. He's corrupted.
Even several of the trades - done in the backyard - were secured by him.
He will also let everyone, who knows the secret password, into the backyard.
-
(... Oh. o-o Well... okay then.)
-
Ray smiled. "It doesn't matter. We'll be going in with tactical gear, assault rifles, the works."
-
Geoff's ears rotated toward the nightclub. It was not his type of place, but he did enjoy the music. He sat down nearby and listened while munching on a granola bar.
-
Ray smiled. "It doesn't matter. We'll be going in with tactical gear, assault rifles, the works."
Zanthe looked over at Ray, raising her eyebrows. "We're just going to go in there and blaze everyone down?" she said. "Even if they aren't related to this?"
-
Grabbing a case full of supplementary disguise equipment, Zanthe followed Ray out of the condo, locking the door behind her. "How far will we be walking?" she said, walking a little behind Ray to make it look like they weren't exactly together.
"... So, based on these facts," the accusing lawyer said, "it must have been Mr. Sawhit. He had access to the cyanide and to Mrs. Sawhit, and as far as we know, he had a solid motive." The lawyer looked at the judge. "That will be all, your honor," they said before sitting down.
The judge banged the gavel twice. "The defense will now present their side of the case."
*he stands up*"You fail to notice that nearby neighbours have said that Mr.Sahwit left at near the time of the murder...if this is true Mr.Sahwit couldn't have killed Cecilia...Some other questionable facts have got my attention too...why would Mr.Sahwit muder his own wife? they both had a steady income and where on good terms"
-
Zaida looked across the street her ears leaned back as she heard the loud music blasting from the club. She wasn't a big fan of clubs but it all just depended what type, although she wasn't planning to go to the club, she waited for someone. Sitting on the stairs her glowing eyes stared at the bear just across from her on the other side eating the granola bar.
-
"Do you have any witnesses, Mr. ____?" the judge said.
-
(Martinez)
*he thinks for a bit*"Hmph"
-
"Well, Mr. Martinez?" the judge said. "If you need some time, we could give you 48 hours."
-
Ray shook his head. "Not unless they pose a problem." He smiled as he approached his apartment. "Here we are."
-
Zanthe looked at the apartment's entrance. "... Why not use smaller weapons?" she said. "Alternately, I could create a distraction while you sneak in and take their stuff. Is this your place?"
-
"Well, Mr. Martinez?" the judge said. "If you need some time, we could give you 48 hours."
"I...shall see if i can track down witnesses your honor"
-
Ray sighed. "I need to send a message. It's very important to me." He nodded. "And yes, this is my home." Ray smiled. "So, let's get suited up, and get going."
-
Geoff noticed the glowing eyes and tried to ignore them. Light-reflecting eyes were not unusual, but these were different. Haunting, even. As if they had a light source of their own. He stayed still and nibbled on his granola bar. If this creature was up to anything, hopefully being inconspicuous as possible will keep him out of danger.
-
Ray sighed. "I need to send a message. It's very important to me." He nodded. "And yes, this is my home." Ray smiled. "So, let's get suited up, and get going."
Zanthe nodded slowly. "Alright... Shall we go inside?" she said, looking at Ray with anticipation.
The judge nodded and banged his gavel. "It's decided, then," they said. "The court will be adjourned until 48 hours from now while Mr. Martinez finds a witness."
Mr. Sawhit exhaled a bit and looked at Seth. "Can you find one?" he asked quietly.
-
Ray nodded. "Yes." He led Zanthe inside, and down into his basement. After a few hidden switches were pressed, the room moved and altered, until a few assault rifles, bullet-proof vests, and ballistic helmets lined the walls. A picture of another raccoon, a female, was framed on the far wall, standing beside Ray. Both of the raccoons were smiling, in happiness. Ray quickly hit a switch, and the picture folded back into it's compartment. He then spoke. "Alright, suit up."

"Hopefully"*he sighs*"I will see if i can find the muderer.."

Ray nodded. "Yes." He led Zanthe inside, and down into his basement. After a few hidden switches were pressed, the room moved and altered, until a few assault rifles, bullet-proof vests, and ballistic helmets lined the walls. A picture of another raccoon, a female, was framed on the far wall, standing beside Ray. Both of the raccoons were smiling, in happiness. Ray quickly hit a switch, and the picture folded back into it's compartment. He then spoke. "Alright, suit up."
As she watched the picture disappear, Zanthe got a better idea of why Ray was going through with this. "...Got it," she said, taking a rifle, a vest, and a ballistic helmet, leaving no fingerprints since she had put on a pair of gloves. "I thought you said we were doing this tomorrow?" the catfox asked, taking her button-down shirt off and setting it on a table before starting to put on the vest. She liked that shirt and didn't want to get it damaged.
Mr. Sawhit nodded. "Maybe you could check around the apartment," he said. "The police may have missed something."

"yes?"*he looks at her*
-
As she waited for a reply from Ray, Zanthe carefully disassembled the assault rifle, cleaned it, and put it back together.
-
"Fine with me..."* "What a psycho" he thinks*
-
*he follows her(
-
While everyone else had fun, Russians were doing business, which involved meth
-
Geoff relaxed after seeing the creature left and began getting sleepy.
-
Ray pulled on a vest, as he spoke. "Change of plans. I want it done as soon as possible."
-
Xander stretched and sat up on the floor he had just been sleeping on. He sighed as he slowly picked himself of the floor and stretched, his back clicking loudly, the sound of it echoing in the empty room. He grabbed his baseball bat and carried it with him on his way to a nearby store, on the way he spotted an quarter and picked it up. "Nice."
-
Geoff munched on another granola bar thoughtfully. He wondered if there were any decent abandoned buildings he could stay in for a while.
-
Xander pocketed the quarter then continued on his way. He quickly approached an off license, he pushed his way past the doors, baseball bat still in hand. He had every intention to rob this store for every penny that they had. He hid the bat by his side, smiling sweetly at the cashier.
-
Geoff stood up and began walking down the street, looking for shelter.
-
Angder was out exploring his new city home, looking down the high street.
-
A badger approached Fluffy. He looked confident. He seemed like he wanted to enter backdoor.
-
Name: setcho
Age: around 20
Height: 5'10
weight: light
species: lion
Clothing: hoodie and jeans
Personality: friendly, kind, forgiving, easily scared, easily mislead
other: none
-
Ray pulled on a vest, as he spoke. "Change of plans. I want it done as soon as possible."
"When did you make that decision?" Zanthe said, checking her ammunition supplies and loading a clip into the gun.
-
Xander approached the cashier, raising the baseball bat and pointing it at him. "Look, you look like a nice person, you don't deserve to be hurt. So here's a deal that I'm willing to make, give me all you've got to the last penny, and I'll go without harming a single hair on your head. That's what we both want isn't it? To see neither of us to get hurt."[size=78%] [/size]
-
Geoff glanced at the window of a shop and saw a wolf pointing a bat at the cashier. Weird.
He stood by the door and looked in, preparing to enter in case his suspicions were true.
-
Badger spoke.
"Revenge is best served cold."
Fluffy whistled and replied "This password was valid yesterday. What now?"
-
The cashier slowly reached for the till, opening it with one hand as he pressed the silent alarm with the other, his gaze shifted to Geoff. Xander followed his gaze and scowled at Geoff, gesturing for him to move on. "Hurry up with the money, I need this desperately."
-
Geoff huffed and entered the shop.
"The hell are you doing?"
-
-setcho
*walked down the street minding his own business, carelessly bumping into anyone that walked in his way*
-
Xander stared at Geoff as he entered the store. He lowered the bat and turned his back to the cashier. "Get that money ready." He smirked at Geoff. "What does it look like I'm doing? What's necessary, of course. In my position I don't really have many options. I choose this over the alternative. Back off." He growled those last words.
The cashier was fumbling with the money, purposely stalling until the police arrive.
-
-setcho
*as he was walking turned his head towards the shop, seeing the event unfold, and peered through the window*
-
"How is this necessary?" Geoff asked.
-
"Because I have no other hope of getting along in life. No mind your own business." Xander whirled back around to the cashier and slammed the bat onto the counter. "Hurry up already!"
-
The badger was about to take out his Colt, hidden under his coat.
Fluffy knew that and already placed his paw on his Glock.
-
-setcho
*stood at the door way unsure whether to help or not*
-
Geoff frowned, taking a close look at the wolf. The guy was most likely homeless, just like him. And the bear never stole in a fashion such as this. This was way too far.
"A-Are you really sure about that?"
-
"Yes I am quite sure. Now back off, last warning." He leaned over the counter and scowled at the cashier. "Stop stalling." The cashier couldn't stall any longer if he wanted to, he had put all the money into a plastic bag, he handed it to Xander who snatched it from him quickly.
-
-setcho
*saw him grab the money, and firmly help the door closed stopping an escape*
-
Geoff growled and grabbed Xander's arm. "You're not going anywhere with that."
-
Xander grinned, slowly turning to face Geoff. "Now you see, that right there, is where you are wrong." He swung the baseball bat at Geoff's hip with as much force as he could muster one handed, whilst simultaneously kicking out with one leg.
-
Geoff was prepared for the thief to attack him and winced as he took the blow. The kick, however, took him off-guard. But instead of letting go of the thief's arm, he gripped tighter as he tripped onto the floor.
-
-setcho
*winced at the fight as it broke out, still unsure whether to step in. so he remained stood at the door keeping it shut*
-
Xander yelped as he was dragged down, his head connecting with Geoff's stomach, essentially headbutting him completely by accident. He shook his head and tried to sit up, dropping the bat so he could grip Geoff's wrist. "Let go you sonovabitch!" He glanced outside as he heard sirens approaching. "Oh, come on!"
-
"Oof!"
Geoff grimaced but ignored the pain in his gut, more concerned with keeping the thief under control. He gritted his teeth as he refused to loosen his grip. He ripped the plastic bag out of Xander's hand and tossed it on the floor toward the cashier.
-
-setcho
*saw the police arriving so entered the shop*
-
Ray's ear twitched, as the scanner in his living room started to chatter. He sighed, and started removing his vest. "Nevermind, we'll move tomorrow, miss Zanthe."
-
Xander punched Geoff's arm repeatedly as he gripped his wrist with his now empty hand, growling loudly. He looked over at Setcho as he entered the store, eyes widening as he saw the police pulled up outside. Getting desperate he tried to stand up. He was getting out of here even if he had to drag Geoff with him.
-
-setcho
*stepped forward refusing to let him leave the shop*
-
Geoff growled in pain, his grip loosening. The heavy bear refused to budge and attempted to grab the thief's arm with his other hand.
-
Xander saw his opportunity and leapt for it, he got up to his feet and jumped over the bear. He made a beeline straight for the back door, barging through it and into a back alley, slamming the door shut behind him. He looked around the alleyway. He spotted a dumpster just under a fire escape. Block the door, or jump up, or lastly run down the alley and hope they don't cut me o- yeah no that's a terrible idea.
-
-setcho
*ran after him, almost being hit by the door, and rushed to get it open again*
-
Geoff watched the lion chase after the thief, wanting to follow, but since he was a terrible runner he knew he wouldn't be able to catch up.
-
Xander clambered up onto the dumpster and jumped for the ladder to the fire escape. He quickly climbed up the ladder, making it to the fire escape quickly and starting to sprint up it.
-
-setcho
*opened the door, and saw him climbing up*
oi stop!
-
Angder had heard the commotion, and rushes over to the shop, too late to see Xander. He rushes to the front of the store, he notices Geoff. "What just happened?!" Angder asks.
-
"A robber... just ran off," he grunted as he stood up.
-
"Which way, and how long ago?" Angder asks, preparing to run.
-
Xander kept sprinting up the fire escape quickly getting to the top of the roof. "Bit late for that now isn't it?" He yelled down to Setcho.
The police push past Setcho and look up at the fire escape as Xander disappeared from their view. A few took chase after him while others stayed down on the ground.
-
Geoff pointed toward the back door. He decided to follow Angder, although he likely won't be able to keep up.
-
Angder dashes out the back, and down the alleyway.
-
Xander turned to see the police climb up the ladder leading to the roof. He turned and jumped down to the roof of a connecting apartment block. He was silently thankful that it was there. He started running across that roof, knowing that he was eventuaolly going to run out of roof to run across.
The officers that followed him chased after him, yelling for him to stop running or he will get hurt.
-
Angder ran around the apartment block, he was used to running ffast, and hoped to stay on the streets, the thief had to come down eventually.
-
Geoff tried his best to follow Angder.
-
Xander stopped short of the edge of the roof. "**censor** **censor** nope nope no." He looked behind him at the officers chasing him. He quickly moved to a ladder and started to climb down from the apartment block. Spotting Geoff and Angder as he did. "WHY!?"
-
Angder runs to the bottom of the ladder. "Hey... that the guy?"
-
"Yeah," Geoff replied, keeping his eyes on Xander
-
Xander continued to climb down the ladder, dropping off of it towards the end and landing in a crouch. He let out a long sigh. "Oh **censor** it..."
-
Angder jumps forward and tries to grab Xander.
-
Xander jumped back and stumbled. He fell backwards then rolled and stood back on his feet a good distance from Angder and Geoff. "Well that was unintended. Ended well for me though."
-
Angder growls with rage and chases after Xander, and tries to trip him
-
Xander assumed his fighting stance which was loose and not tensed up, he fought like this because he felt it suited the way he thinks during a fight and plans his moves, quickly and mostly by impulse, allowing one move to flow into another. He quickly took a step to the right as Angder approached him then spun on his heel with one leg outstretched to trip up Angder.
-
Angder falls, but tries to grab Xander's arm as he falls, hoping to force them both to the ground.
-
Xander yelped out loudly, having not expected Angder to grab him. They both slammed into the ground. "Ow. Can't I get a break today?"
-
"You got a break IN it seems. I mean robbing that store and all"
Angder tries to grab Xander's neck, and get him in a headlock.
-
Xander sighed and rolled away from Angder then kicked him hard in the shin. "How do I break into somewhere that isn't locked? That doesn't make sense!"
-
Angder yelps, and tries to put a knee in Xander's stomach, while also throwing a punch at Xander's face.
-
Xander doubled over as he was kneed in the stomach, the blow winding him. This caused him to headbutt Angder's fist probably breaking one or two of his knuckles but also really hurting Xander's face.
-
-setcho
*caught up with geoff, panting heavily*
so uh what happened?
-
Geoff went behind Xander and tossed him to the wall, pinning him against it.
-
Angder yelps,as his hand is partually broken, he climbs to his feet, and limps over, he then presses his unbroken paw over Xander's throat. "OK. THAT'S. IT."
-
more and more police started swarming around the allyway, blocking all the exits. the police helicopter had been scrambled and shone its high powered light beam onto the fight.
-
"See. The police are here... looking at us two... acting as vigilanties and beating up someone who is probably a homeless guy judging by the smell..."
...
"We **censor** up, didn't we."
-
"I didn't beat him up," Geoff growled. "You did..."
-
Xander let out a really long sigh and flopped on the floor. "Yup..." He then grinned, crying out loudly as if in immense pain. "Officers! Help! This man is assaulting me because I asked him for change! He just punched me straight away!"
-
Zaida chose a empty booth in the very back. The cafe a bit empty since it was late at night. The hybrid huffed. "So what do you do, Seth?"
"I am a lawyer"*he looks at her with a brow raised*
-
the helicopter, with a mega phone yelled out "everyone drop down and face the floor, with you hands behind your back" still shining the light down at them
-setcho
ahhh god damnit
*dropping down*
-
Geoff did as he was told.
-
Angder sighs. "Guys a robber." Angder states. "They know that. They were called to the off-license. which you tried to rob. They are not going to believe you."
Angder hears the command, and drops down, placing his hands behind his back, this is not the first time this had happened to him.
-
the police rushed in restraining everyone, making sure to tighten the cuffs. each one was carried off into a van which drove to the police station a few blocks down. The helicopter shut of the light and flew off.
-
Xander glared at Geoff and Angder once inside the van. "You guys proud of yourselves?" You got a man just trying to keep himself from starving one for one more day arrested. Hope you feel good."
-
Angder winces as his hands are cuffed.
He looks at the other 3 in the van. "Well I hear prison has plenty of food." Angder says with a smirk. "Being poor does not justify stealing from others."
-
"Consider the fact that I'm in the same position as you," Geoff grumbled to Xander, "and I don't pull that crap."
-
the van drove off with everyone inside at speed
-setcho
what the hell did i do?!
*kicking the side of the van*
-
"Uh huh, ok lawyer..." She huffed thinking. Before Zaida asking an odd question "And what does a lawyer do?" She asked resting her head on her paw
*He facepalm's before huffing and looking at his watch*"Look,I'm on a tight schedule...I need to get home and feed my Cat...I don't really have time to talk to some lady who will possibly steal my wallet...or my kidney"
-
"Relax, We head to the station, explain our bit in this, get a minor warning, he goes to prison" Angder gestures at Xander "And we go free"
-
Xander shrugged. "Well that's so good of you. We're all very proud. I'll probably die if I go to prison, hell, it's possible I'll die in holding. So thank you. You really did me a huge solid. I'll enjoy eating through a tube."
-
the van pulled up and everyone was dragged harshly inside
-
Angder glares at the officer pushing him. "Hey. I know the procedure, no need to be a dick."
-
"Oh well you can wait" her tail tightly wraps on his leg under the table. "Now can you explain I have nothing planned, we can stay here all night Mr.Seth" she spoke calmly.
"What is the hope of giving you knowledge you dont even know yet?"*he responds*
-
Xader just kept quiet and went where he was made to go without a fuss.
-
the police took them all to a interrogation room, without saying a word to them
-setcho
*squirmed and wriggled*
-
Angder tries to sit down in a seat.
-
Geoff was nervous, but stayed with a blank expression, still and silent. He knew he did nothing wrong, but he couldn't help but think they would find some reason to keep him. He managed to keep a clean record, and he wanted to keep it that way.
-
Xander sat down and sighed. "**censor** my life."
-
"No."*he looks at her*
-
one police officer walked into the room and stared at each one of them
-
Angder sat, impatiently waiting.
-
Zaida huffed holding the bridge of her snout. Until noticing the waiter behind the counter his paw placed on the phone
Zaida sighs. "Fine, thank you for your time" she said softly and stood up. The hybrid walking past the horse and out the door of the cafe.
*he huffs before looking at the waiter*
-
the officer spoke in a calm quite tone, leaning against the wall "i have some bad news, you're all being charged"
-
Angder blinks. "on what charges?"
-
Xander flips the table in front of them over. "These charges are nothing more then disingenuous assertions! I demand a lawyer!"
-
"theres many charges against you all, failure to stop, intent to steal, interfering with police duties, disorderly conduct.....its not looking good for you"
-
Geoff shook his head. "That's not fair. I was trying to help..."
-
"I chased after a crook, and stopped him. He attacked me, and I fought back in self defence. Without me you would not have caught him. I have acted as a detective in London, and new York. My name is Angder if you want to charge me I have some advice first. LOOK. ME. UP." Angder stands up for that last bit. Livid. He had dealt with issues the police had no way to deal with. Yes it was technically illegal at times. but he got RESULTS.
-
"its not up to me, its already been decided.....im sorry" turns around walks out the door
-setcho
*slumps the floor*
thats it my lifes over......
-
Angder's mouth twitches, but he stays silent. They would come around... or they were corrupt and Angder could reveal that. either way he was not going to prison, or getting any serious fines. He knew his way around the legal world well enough.
-
Geoff stared at the floor and sighed. The one time he felt he was doing something good with his life, it resulted in him being viewed as a criminal.
-
Xander sighed loudly and slumped. "Look what being a 'good person' **censor** got you. You're being treated as if you did something as bad as I did. Good job. Welcome to justice ladies and gentlemen."
-
The waiter sighed getting back to work.
Zaida hissed and had her paws in her pants. Walking down the sidewalk.
*he rests his head on the table "what was with that lady?"*
-
"Better than being a bad person and being in the same situation" Angder states. "Though this is **censor** stupid."
-
-setcho
*walked over to xander*
this is your fault entirely....with out you none of us would be here
*clenches his fist*
-
"Hey erm... can someone remove our handcuffs?" Angder asks. "One of my hands is kinda broken"
-
"I didn't make you follow me. You guys tried to be heroes in a society which doesn't like that. It's your bad." Xander then stuck out his tongue like he was some sort of two year old.
-
there was no response from the guards outside
-setcho
*thought if he was already in trouble then he might as well do something wrong, so swung at xander with his head*
-
Xander merely stepped to the side and watched as Setcho nearly headbutted a wall.
-
"YOU TWO stop. HE is going down, he has punishment enough. Lets deal with the legal side of this... AND CAN SOMEONE REMOVE THESE DAMN HANDCUFFS."
-
-setcho
*angrily swung a few kicks towards xander, wondering if the guards would come and stop him*
the guards started to unlock the door
-
Xander jumped back again, hitting his head against the wall. "Ow son of a bitch. Guys this asshole is trying to hurt me!"
-
Angder moves closer to the door. hoping to be uncuffed.
-
the door swung open and the guards rushed in, pushing angder out the way. they restrained setcho and xander and took them out side
-setcho
*still wriggling trying to get at xander*
one guard un-cuffed angder and geoff
-
The hybrid thought. "I hate this place" she spoke quietly to herself as she wandered around ascension."well guess I'll follow that... That er horse? I think that's what he is" she said a bit confused. "This planet is so god damn annoying." She growled walking in a alley Zaida disappeared in the darkness
*Seth walks down the sidewalk after exiting the cafe*
-
Angder looks down at his paws. "Thank you."
-
Xander sighed and stepped close to Setcho and then headbutted him. "Please stop."
-
"Thank you," Geoff croaked softly.
He continued to stay quiet, staring at the floor as he tuned everything out. Internally, he was panicking, but he did his best to keep that hidden.
-
the guard pinned xander to the floor, while another took setcho to a cell
-setcho
*whimpered at the headbutt, feeling dizzy*
-
Angder looks at the police officer in the room with him. "Seriously, you have never heard the name Angder around here?"
-
the guard stares blankly at him "uh uh nope" he closed the door but stayed inside just in case another fight broke out
-
Xander grunted as he hit the floor. He rolled his eyes. "**censor** finally now he can stop trying to hit me."
-
Angder sits down. "OK... so erm... what now?"
-
the guard picked him up and lead him to another cell
-setcho
*yelled out the cell, insisting that he did nothing wrong*
the guard stayed quiet
-
Ray's ear twitched, as the scanner in his living room started to chatter. He sighed, and started removing his vest. "Nevermind, we'll move tomorrow, miss Zanthe."
(... Why are people in prison? o-o)
Zanthe blinked, then nodded and put the helmet, rifle, and vest back, grabbing her button-down shirt. "You're rather fickle," she said, tugging the shirt on but not bothering to button it up. "So what do you suggest we do for now?"
-
((Xander robbed a store. Geoff, Angder, and Setcho tried to stop him, and they all got in trouble for it.))
Geoff was sure it was about jail time for him, and he knew whatever he'd say to argue against it wouldn't change a thing, and more likely give him a harsher punishment if anything.
-
"And here he is~" she said in a soothing tone before Zaida's eyes shot open seeing Seth walk by the alley. The hybrid began to follow quietly though she stayed hidden In the dark.
-
Ray spoke up, as he put his rifle away. "Did you hear me, Zanthe?"
-
Zanthe blinked, then nodded. "Yes... We're doing this tomorrow," she said,walking over to him. "Did you want me to just stay here tonight?"
-
Ray shrugged. "You can if you want. I don't mind, the guest room hasn't been touched in years."
-
"Okay then," Zanthe said, glancing around the basement for a moment. "... Who is she?"
-
Ray raised an eyebrow. "Who?"
-
"The girl in that picture," Zanthe said, leaning against the wall. The grip of her gun stuck out of her waistband, about an inch below her navel. "The other raccoon. I saw it before you pulled this section out."
-
Ray sighed, and hung his head. "So...you saw that, huh?" He leaned against the table, and sighed again. "My sister."
-
Zanthe walked over and leaned beside him. "... Is she part of the reason that you're pulling off this smash and grab?" she asked, glancing at the raccoon.
-
Ray looked at his shoes. "She's why I do everything. Why I took those murder jobs, why I rob all of these stores...They took her....some guy who calls himself the Zambian."
-
"And here he is~" she said in a soothing tone before Zaida's eyes shot open seeing Seth walk by the alley. The hybrid began to follow quietly though she stayed hidden In the dark.
*Seth keeps walking down the alley stopping at a door right,above it was a dull neon sign,in japanese..he proceeds to open the door to the shady apartments front desk...he looks at the panda at he front*
-
Ray looked at his shoes. "She's why I do everything. Why I took those murder jobs, why I rob all of these stores...They took her....some guy who calls himself the Zambian."
"'The Zambian'?" Zanthe said, glancing over at Ray. "I can't say I'm familiar with that name."
-
Ray shook his head, and sat on the floor, pulling his knees to his chest. "I wasn't either."
-
Zanthe lowered her ears, sat down beside Ray, and, surprisingly, hugged him. ".... Would you like to talk about it?" she said, gently patting his back.
-
Ray shook his head. "N-Not really."
-
*he walks past the panda to a dark hallway,passing some police tape to Mrs.Sahwit's murder scene*
-
Zanthe nodded, but remained with her arms around him, trying to comfort him a little. "Whatever is comfortable to you," she said. "Do you know where this 'Zambian' is?"
-
Ray shook his head. "No...They want me to wire forty-five thousand dollars to an electronic account, and they'll bring my sister back to Acension." He curled up a little more. "I-I'm scared...I-I don't want to lose her....she's my only family now."
-
Zanthe looked at Ray. "...That's why you're hitting the club up?" she said, cocking her head.
-
Ray nodded. "I've robbed three stores, murdered two people, and now they want me to get them their money, from this place."
-
*he walks into the murder scene*"Damn tape"*he avoids most of it before walking into the room*"Evidence....Hmmm.."*he grabs Mrs.Sahwits Autospy*"Cyanide...Cyanide"
-
Zanthe sighed. "They don't sound like very kind people," she said, stretching a bit. "You know... we could always try to sneak the money out. No need for violence." She sighed. "Alternately, I'm pretty sure I could find a job that cost that much and give the money to you."
-
Ray shook his head. "They want me to do it in a specific way. They're always watching."
-
Zanthe tensed a bit at Ray's last comment. "... A lot of organizations are like that, aren't they?" she said, rubbing her lower back. "... Are you prepared to cover your tracks?"
-
Ray blinked. "W-What do you mean?"
-
Zanthe looked at Ray. "After the robbery. Do you have a way to keep yourself from being found?"
-
Ray sighed. "I don't know...i-if everything goes right."
-
Ray sighed. "I don't know...i-if everything goes right."
Zanthe glanced at Ray. "... Have you ever been shot, Ray?"
-
Ray nodded. "Yes. Multiple times, and I fixed it myself."
-
Zanthe glanced at him. "I see," she said. "Well, if all else fails, why don't we hide the money and weapons, then shoot each other near the water... with blanks." She smiled. "The bodies will never be found..."
-
Ray shook his head. "I can't disappear like that, Zanthe. They ALWAYS find me."
-
"You won't be killing yourself," she said. "You'll simply be pretending to die..." Zanthe thought a bit more. "... If not that, then at least let me make you look a little different."
-
"I'm NOT abandoning my sister, Zanthe. They will KILL her if I don't do what they say." Ray buried his face in his arms. "I-If you d-don't want t-to help, I-I understand."
-
Zanthe cocked an eyebrow. "These guys want you to do it... as you," she said. "No disguises or concealment of identity?"
-
Ray nodded. "Exactly."
-
Zanthe sighed. "Well then," she said, staring at the ceiling. "I'll just have to be more distracting." She glanced at Ray and gave him a small, closed-mouth smile.
-
Ray furrowed his brow. "I can still wear a mask. They just want ME to rob the place."
-
Zanthe nodded. "Exactly," the catfox said, swishing her tail. "Do you have to use the assault rifle?"
-
Ray closed his eyes, and rested against the wall. "I just need to get the money."
-
Zanthe nodded. "Got a handgun?"
-
Ray nodded. "Several, why?"
-
Ray nodded. "Several, why?"
Zanthe looked at Ray. "Bring your best, easiest to conceal, legal one," she said. "I'll distract the majority of people with the assault rifle and whatever other tricks I can figure out, and you deal with robbing the place. Okay?"
-
Ray nodded. "Sounds good, but we'll do it tomorrow. The police are dealing with a robbery nearby."
-
Zanthe nodded pensively. "With any luck, they'll be on the other side of town tomorrow," she said, looking over at Ray. "... Should we get some food?"
-
Ray nodded. "S-Sure. I-I'll give you my card, and you can order, if you want."
-
"You're the leader of this mission," Zanthe said. "Sure, I can use your card if you'd like me to... but what would you like to eat?"
-
Ray sighed. "I don't care, really. I don't eat much anymore, anyway."
-
The badger moved away.
Everything looked clear.
-
The catfox gently took Ray's chin in her hand and looked at her. "You're not going to want to rob a place on an empty stomach," she said. "It'll distract you, and you could get caught. For your sister's sake, eat something."
-
Ray sighed. "Right...you're right."
-
the guard came, carrying breakfast for geoff and angder, while setcho and axander were brought back into the room
-
Geoff's nervousness killed his appetite, but he would be an idiot to refuse to eat.
-
Ray sighed. "Right...you're right."
Zanthe got up gently. "Now... what would you like to eat?" she said. "I could make some sort of wild edible plant dish."
-
Ray shrugged. "I've been eating bread and drinking water for the past week. So, I'm game for whatever."
-
Angder was quite happy to eat. "Thanks again."
-
Ray shrugged. "I've been eating bread and drinking water for the past week. So, I'm game for whatever."
Zanthe nodded, buttoning her shirt up. "Alright... Give me about an hour, and I'll be ready," she said, picking up her bag. "Where's your kitchen?"
-
"It's just up the stairs, it's connected to the living room." Ray stood. "Here, I'll show you." He started up the stairs.
-
The catfox fell into line behind Ray, glancing around as he led her to the kitchen. "Nice place," she said.
-
Ray shrugged. "I try not to think about it. It's too good to last."
-
"the court hearing should start soon"
-setcho
*curled up in the corner*
-
Zanthe cocked an eyebrow gently. "... Perhaps you should think a little more positively?" she said.
-
Ray smiled sadly. "When I have my sister back, I will."
-
"Fantastic..."
Geoff ate his breakfast somewhat quickly.
-
Angder sighs. "I would not worry to much. I have been in this boat before, not gone to prison yet."
-
Zanthe looked at Ray for a moment, looking into his eyes. "... Let's make sure tomorrow goes well, then," she said, gently walking towards where she assumed the kitchen would be.
-
*Seth walks into the court house*
-
Mr. Sawhit is waiting there. "Did you find any witnesses?" he asked.
-
Ray nodded. "Yeah...sounds like a good idea."
-
Zanthe walked into the kitchen and set her bag down, then washed her hands. "Do you have any allergies?" she asked, starting to unpack various foods from a cooler in her bag.
-
-setcho
*paced in the room up and down, waiting for news on the court hearing*
-
Ray shook his head. "No. I don't."
-
Zanthe nodded. "Good... Do you have any bowtie pasta?"
-
Ray nodded. "In the cupboard by the stove."
-
Zanthe set up a couple of pots and pans, then got out the pasta, looking over at Ray. "It's fine for me to use this, right?"
-
Ray nodded. "Use whatever you need."
-
"Thank you," Zanthe said, starting to prepare the meal. "Everything should be ready in half an hour."
-
Ray nodded. "I'm gonna...go in the basement and...make sure everything's there..." He started down the basement steps, closing the door behind him.
-
Xander hits his head repeatedly against the wall as he waits.
-
a lawyer came in, sharply dressed holding a brief case "okay i think were ready to go"
-setcho
*took no notice still slumped in the corner*
-
"Oh hey... so how does this work exactly?"
-
Geoff stood up from his chair. "Time to get this over with..."
-
Zanthe watched Ray leave, then focused on making dinner.
About half an hour later, a knock came at the basement door. "Everything's set up here," Zanthe called down, standing back and waiting for Ray to appear.
-
Ray started up the stairs, his eyes were red. He smiled at Zanthe, and started towards the kitchen.
-
Xander sighed, rubbing his head which was throbbing due to the pain of headbutting the wall. This only served to make him more irritable. "Let's just get this done..."
-
the police constable rushed through the doors, with a bright red angry expression on his face " all charges have been dropped, you're free to go......"
-
Ray started up the stairs, his eyes were red. He smiled at Zanthe, and started towards the kitchen.
Zanthe decided not to talk to Ray about his eyes, but patted him gently on the back. "We're going to get her back," she said, walking just behind him. "Now, let's eat for now..." On the table in the kitchen were two plates of bowtie pasta topped with a generous blend of a wild edible plant/chopped up and cooked fresh vegetable/meat sauce mixture thing; for a side, there was a simply cooked root medley and a salad made of wild edible plant greens with a Russian Autumn Olive jelly. "It's all natural, if you're concerned about the things beside the bowtie pasta," the catfox said, washing her hands and taking a seat. "There's some comfrey, some burdock root, sunchoke, yellow and curly dock, dandelion roots and leaves, some woodsorrel for a lemon flavor... lots of stuff." Zanthe gave Ray a very small, hardly noticeable smile. "I find this sort of stuff rather interesting... it's certainly helped in the wild." The catfox said a quick, quiet prayer, then ate a bite of food to show Ray that it was safe. "It's all edible... You've got to watch your comfrey intake when working with wild edible plants, though... it has pretty strong medicinal properties, and eating too much of it can make you sick or even kill you. I only put in a couple leaves, so everything should be fine."
-
"Really...?"
Geoff dropped back down in his seat and sighed with relief.
-
Mr. Sawhit is waiting there. "Did you find any witnesses?" he asked.
*he nods*"yes...i found the hidden cyanide,and found out whose paw prints are on here"
-
Mr. Sawhit gave Seth a small smile. "Thank you so much," he said gently. "Do you think we'll be able to catch the killer?"
-
Xander grinned widely, strolling out of the police station. He turned to face the others and gave himself a high five. "All's well that ends well, right?" He then proceeded to stroll away, whistling to himself.
-
Angder grins, and strolls out the station, but he puts a hand on Xander's shoulder. still smiling, he whispers to him. "Just remember what got you into this mess. avoid the crime next time OK?"
-
-setcho
*shoved passed xander and strolled outside*
-
Xander smiled widely and lifted up his hands. "Of course of course. I wouldn't want you guys to nearly get me killed again would I? No, you've shown me the light."
-
Geoff stepped out of the station along with the rest of the people, quite relieved.
"Now what..." he mumbled. Suddenly he realized and motioned toward Xander.
"Wait, why is he going free?"
-
Angder shakes his head. "Don't question it... It saved us some bother, and I reckon he got scared enough to learn his lesson..." Angder states"if not I can always scare him more I guess" Angder mumbles
-
Geoff frowned. So he wasted all that effort for nothing but the eyes of the police.
"You have a point," he replied. "Well, uh... what will you guys be, uh, up to now?"
-
"I... am not quite sure... hanging around my apartment is getting boring."
-
-setcho
ermmmm i havent a clue
-
"Begging for money for me now I guess. I'ma get myself a marker pen and a nice cardboard sign, maybe a cup. Yup it's the straight and narrow to going nowhere with my life for me." Xander turned to walk away. "Really guys, thank you."
-
-setcho
*pulled out his phone and started reading his messages*
oh crap now im fired
-
"Maybe yyou should try ya know, getting a job, helping society, as opposed to actively hurting it mr.Letsspreadmymisery
-
Geoff frowned. "There are better ways to survive the streets than robbing money from stores like that. You can just ta--uh..."
The bear shut his mouth as he realized continuing would be a stupid idea.
-
"I could just ta. I have no idea what ta is. Maybe you could explain to me what 'ta' means?" Every time Xander said ta he did little finger quotes. This wasn't how he usually acted, these people had just annoyed him. He was usually less of a douche whilst still being sarcastic.
-
"look, Xander, its not too late for me to punch your skull in and get us both arrested again. Crime ain't a good business decison, last guy I knew who did crime is a nervous wreck, thinks the police, and government, are all coming to murder him. Crazy little Koala."
-
Ray sat at the table, and ate slowly. He trusted Zanthe wouldn't poison him.
-
Zanthe ate quietly, not quite sure what to talk about with Ray. The food she had prepared was very tasty. "... Would you like some bread?" she asked him.
(No, seriously. It really is very tasty.)
-
Geoff ducked his head sheepishly.
"Well, uh, I, uh, I guess I'll get going, then... G-Good luck to you guys."
He showed a genuine, yet awkward smile before turning to walk away.
-
-setcho
*decided to follow geoff, he was the most sensible out of all of them. after all he now had no job and nothing else to do*
-
Mr. Sawhit gave Seth a small smile. "Thank you so much," he said gently. "Do you think we'll be able to catch the killer?"
"Pfft! of couse"*he laughs nervously*
-
Angder heads back to his apartment. glad to not have any more trouble from the police.
-
Ray shook his head. "No...I'm fine."
-
Geoff noticed the lion following him, and while he had no issues with him, he was hoping to be alone for a little while. He didn't want to shoo him away, though.
"S-So... Uh, I guess you have no plans?"
-
-setcho
i can go....if you want........
-
Geoff's ears lowered. "... N-no, it's okay... uh, is there, uh... anything you'd like to do?"
-
-setcho
*thought*
well i have no job so im free to do anything now i guess
-
Ray shook his head. "No...I'm fine."
Mr. Sawhit looked at Seth uneasily. "You don't sound too sure..."
Zanthe nodded gently and went back to eating. "How long have you lived in this city?" she asked between bites.
-
Ray stopped eating, and thought a moment. He swallowed what food was in his mouth, before answering. "Almost three years now."
-
"I mean, wh-what do you want to do?" Geoff asked, shrugging awkwardly. "I normally don't do much, just... explore... around... here..."
-
-setcho
um sure....s-sounds good to me
*pulling the hood up over him*
-
Ray stopped eating, and thought a moment. He swallowed what food was in his mouth, before answering. "Almost three years now."
Zanthe set her utensils down, having eaten most everything on her plate, and looked at Ray, leaning on her elbows. "How long have you been doing... criminal acts such as the one we are to do tomorrow?" she asked.
-
Ray set his silverware down, and sighed. "Almost five years."
-
Zanthe lowered her ears a little. "Has your sister... Has she ever seen this apartment?"
-
Ray shook his head. "N-No...she's never seen this city."
-
Zanthe looked down at the table, starting to see why Ray wanted the job tomorrow to go so well. "Five years... and now this job," she said. "Do you get her back after this?"
-
Ray nodded. "T-That's what they said."
-
Xander watched as the others left. He looked up towards the sky, sighing as he realises that he left his baseball bat at that store he tried to rob. He shoved his hands inside his pockets. "Damn...well that sucks..."
-
(Zaida, out of curiosity, have you reached college yet?)
Zanthe looked down at the floor of the kitchen for a good minute, her hands folded and her thumbs pressed to her mouth. "... They'd better," she said, looking strangely malevolent despite her currently emotionless expression. "Now... have you finished eating?"
-
Ray nodded. "Yes, I've finished."
-
(Muddle through it. College can be easier.)
Zanthe stood and gently put the remaining food in a couple of bags, then stowed them in Ray's freezer. "We'd best get some rest, then," she said, getting a quick drink of water from the faucet. "It's a big day tomorrow. Do you have a bed?"
-
Ray nodded. "Next room over. I'll be on the couch." He stood, and started into the living room.
-
Zanthe followed Ray. "Don't you need the bed more?" she said. "You need to do the major work."
-
Ray shook his head, slowly. "I'll be fine. I don't sleep in my room much, anyway." He smiled slightly, before he sat down on the couch.
-
Zanthe lowered her ears a little. "... As long as you're comfortable," she said, walking over and hugging Ray since she felt bad for him. "Sleep deeply."
-
Ray nodded. "I'll try. I don't often sleep well."
-
Geoff found an abandoned office building and decided to take a look around.
-
Angder is on the top floor, looking through employee records from a broken filing cabinet. The whole building seems badly burnt.
-
Geoff examined the place with curiosity. Old buildings had stories to tell, and this one was far from an exception. He wondered what caused the fire that consumed it. Faulty wiring? Arson?
-
Angder hears movement downstairs, he moves over to the stairs, he then waits standing just around a corner
-
Geoff began cautiously walking up the stairs, hoping they were sturdy enough to handle his weight.
-
Angder appears behind Geoff... "Hey you. Geoff? what the hell are you doing here?"
-
Geoff jolted at the sudden voice, but relaxed somewhat when he realized who it was.
"Uh, I'm just l-looking around."
-
Angder tries to subtly drop the pipe he was holding... not an easy thing to do. "Well... do you mind giving me a hand with something? I am looking for the records on a guy named Taldron. Used to work here..."
-
"Uh, alright. Some... investigation thing, or...?"
-
"Yea..." Angder shows Geoff to the filing cabinet. "Should be in here somewhere..."
-
Geoff began looking through the cabinet, mumbling to himself.
"Tan-Tal--...How do you spell it? T-a-l--mmm..."
He pulled out a folder. "This it?"
-
Angder looks at the file. "thanks... Now I know the arsonist was definitely here... time to find out where you might have gone. Thanks for the help Geoff." Angder stands up, and heads for the door.
-
"No problem," Geoff replied.
He didn't trust the building enough for shelter, so left as well.
-
-setcho
*dashed to a sheltered bus stop as the rain started to come down*
ughh
-
Zaida closed the dumpster with force and hissed quietly. "I won't stop, not now, not ever" she said in a soothing voice but gave cold chills.
-
"Aw..."
Geoff gazed up at the sky as the water dotted his shirt. He liked rain, but he needed a dry place to rest for the night. He continued looking around for decent shelter.
-
-setcho
*sneezed and shivered*
no job, no home, no family........stupid, you had to get arrested...
-
Ray nodded. "I'll try. I don't often sleep well."
Zanthe gently released Ray, nodding softly. "I wish you luck with that," she said, gently standing. "... Counting slowly sometimes works. Where is your bedroom, by the way?"
-
*Seth was in his house,drinking his coffee and running his hand through his hair,a large supply of crumbled papers on his table*
-
Zaida moved items about covering up the mess and patting her paws. "Shelter that's what I need, I shouldn't be sleeping in the streets..." She said to herself. "Maybe I should walk for a bit, know this city a bit more." Walking out of the dark ally she hummed her eyes slowly studying each building she past.
-
*he huffs resting his head on the table*"there are no other witnesses...hmmmm..."
-
-setcho
*as the rain continued, setcho decided to keep walking, moving past the ally zadia was in. he turned his head and spotted her*
huh?
-
Fixing her leather gloves and vest she then asked. "why am I walking these furries have vehicles? Why can't I?" She asked herself quietly her eyes darting to cars parked on the sides of streets. 'Why wait?' her ears laid back 'someone will see it's too much attention, you need to find a-' she stopped looking at a cheap motel curiously with a raised brow before entering.
-
-setcho
*decided to follow her, trying to stay hidden, pulling his hood up*
-
Zaida was talking to the male winged husky behind the counter. "Thats it ma'am"
Her claws rapping the desk before nodding. "Fine it'll do, I'll take 11" instead of pulling a wallet out it was neatly folded monney it looked as if it was crumbled before and had a few stains giving an unusual look. Grabbing the keys to her room she sighed walking to where the room was located and unlocking before entering.
-
Geoff found an abandoned inn and explored inside. This building's story was short, for it clearly never opened. While quite pretty on the outside, the inside was unfinished. The project was likely underfunded and construction had to cancel. Luckily, most of the rooms were complete enough for living. In his opinion, the place was perfect; If he could find some decent furniture, this would make a good home--that is, if the authority wouldn't mind him moving in.
He settled in a room and had a meal of granola bars before curling up for a nap.
-
Ray smiled slightly. "Just beyond the kitchen, second door on the right."
-
((This is the wrong thread, the forum was down... Well for me and had the wrong title or maybe I'm imagining things either way. Oops)
-
*Seth was sleeping on the desk for awkening and falling out his chair*
-
((Another reason why I stay away from Tapatalk, if that was part of the issue. :P ))
Geoff woke up occasionally for no apparent reason. This wasn't too unusual for him, and it didn't bother him much. It was better to wake up every couple hours instead of sleeping through something serious, like someone stealing his things or trying to stab him in his sleep. Not that he ever got on someone's bad side enough for the latter; from his experience with fellow homeless so far, one could easily have dabbled in serious drugs or lost his marbles. Or both.
-
*seth sighs getting up,before sighing*"I....need some stress relief"
-
Ray smiled slightly. "Just beyond the kitchen, second door on the right."
Zanthe nodded. "Alright... Oyasuminasai," the catfox said before padding out of the room. I hope he speaks Japanese... Oh well. Sighing, she walked into the bedroom and unbuttoned her outer shirt before carefully curling up on the bed.
-
((What did she say?))
-
(Goodnight. In Japanese. I'm taking a course in it, so I thought I might as well practice.)
-
-setcho
*studied the motel, watching the light come on in the sergals room*
hmmm
-
Ray nodded, and curled up. He stared at the clock for a few hours, before falling asleep.
-
Geoff woke up again and decided to doodle in one of his notebooks.
-
Ray nodded, and curled up. He stared at the clock for a few hours, before falling asleep.
(Who should wake up first?)
-
*Seth was on the lake,on his boat*
-
Zaida sat on the bed studying the old dirty room she had. Finally falling back and laying done on the bed and have a long sigh. "finally some rest" she said cuddling her tail and giving light Murs.
-
Angder woke up at his apartment. He had traced his mark to a nearby set of apartments. He would have to catch him red handed though... today was going to be a long day.
-
-setcho
*crossed the street to the motel, sneaking into an empty room below the sergal*
-
Zaida's ears flicked from noises she did feel a bit off but brushed it off. She then shot up and stood pacing around the room. She had both paws resting on her head while thinking.
-
-setcho
*leaned against a wall, peaking out the curtain*
-
She stopped in place her paws closed together in front of her snout. "Something isn't right, I can feel it..." She spoke in a whisper. Zaida stared at the wall before her head quickly turning around to face the slightly opened curtains.
-
-setcho
*darkened his fur, unsure if he he did it in time*
-
As it was cold out it made the glass slightly foggy, Walking to the window she wrote backwards so the feline could read from his perspective. "Curiosity kills the cat" Zaida wrote before closing her curtains. she hissed walking out of her room
-
Geoff opened his eyes, having fallen asleep with his open journal by his side.
He yawned and grunted as he stretched out on the floor, his back crackling. Soon he'll be comfortable enough in his new "home" to sleep better, if he still keeps it, at least. He expected someone was going to kick him out at some point.
-
-setcho
*narrowed his eyes, scowling*
yeah what ever.....
-
"Really?" The voice was heard behind him. Zaida stood behind him her ears laid back and one brow raised as she gave a slight snarl
-
-setcho
*picked his ears up and turned around*
yeah....
-
"Yes whatever~" she grabbed the cupboard slamming it too the floor and approaching him and hissed coldly. "I don't enjoy furries like you sniffing about do you understand, lion" she hissed.
-
-setcho
furries like me? you dont even know me
-
"No I don't which makes it a threat" she grabbed his neck slamming him to the wall. "Now why are you stalking me?" She hissed looking in his eyes showing dominance.
-
-setcho
*grinned*
or what you gonna kill me? i have nothing to loose and do you know what that means, im very dangerous
*his eyes flickered red*
-
*Seth was fast asleep on his boat*
-
"Really, dangerous? No it means your a nobody~" she laughed. "Funny you say that to an alien, you probably don't know anything about danger, your a joke and not worth my time." She spat then gave a blood curdling smile. "But I would enjoy watching you try, leave me be lion or I will end you in the worst possible way~" she said in a gurgle growl and letting go of his neck
-
-setcho
your words mean nothing, like dust in the wind
*he grinned even more*
go ahead do it, 'alien' watch me squirm
-
"Like I said you aren't worth my time~" she huffed. "Have a good day" she opened the door and closed it behind her.
-
-setcho
not worth your time eh? if you really are an alien what will the government have to say about that
*as he chuckled walking away, picking up his phone*
-
Zaida continued to walk away her ears flicked from what he said making her chuckle before speaking. "Go ahead, they wouldn't know I'm real, they'd think it's some idiotic prank or some psycho" she laughed walking out of the motel
-
-setcho
thats if you dont have friends in the government
*he mumbled, dialling a number*
-
'Why leave? You look weak!' Her mind yelled at her before her head twitched coming back to the room and slamming the door open and walking to the lion. "Fine you want to **censor** with me, fine~" grabbed his phone she threw it to the wall. "Show me how dangerous you are" she snarled showing her razor teeth.

why?
*still smirking as he got close to her face*
-
She hissed before snapping and grabbed his mane and pushing him her tail yanking his ankle having him fall back onto the floor. "Because I hate liars"
-
-setcho
*picked him self up and brushed himself down*
im not a liar
*he still had a smirk on his face*
-
"Seem like it" her tail was wrapping around his body gradually adding more pressure like a snake would do to prey. "Now tell me, why are you bothering me you worthless lion" she said her claws retracting.
-
-setcho
well i have self worth, and for someone who continues to question others worthiness would seem they have none
*as the tail seemed to stop tightening*
-
Her tail still tightened before throwing him to the body mirror making it shatter in impact. "Worthless absolutely worthless. This planet is pathetic" Zaida huffed before the lights flickered off and she disappeared.
-
-setcho
Weak....weak....no self worth I pity her
*stumbling to his feet*
-
Ray woke up, sat up, and rubbed his face. "Mm...today's the day."
-
Ray woke up, sat up, and rubbed his face. "Mm...today's the day."
As Ray woke up, the sound of running water registered in his ears. It appeared to be coming from the bathroom.
-
Ray blinked, and stood. He moved to the bathroom, and knocked on the door. "Ms. Zanthe?"
-
"Just a minute!" Zanthe called out from behind the door.
-
Ray nodded, and stood beside the door, arms crossed in front of himself.
-
A few minutes later, the door opened and Zanthe, freshly showered and dressed in the same clothes she had worn the day before, stepped out of the bathroom. "Sorry about that," she said. "I was showering and renewing my disguise. Don't worry, I cleaned up." The catfox pricked her ears up. "Oh, before I forget, I should let you know that I'm no longer damaged."
-
Ray nodded. "Very good. We'll move on the casino later today." He smiled. "I hope you slept well."
-
Zanthe nodded once. "I did... What about you?"
-
Ray shrugged. "I don't sleep well anymore. I mean, I slept better than I have, but not much better."
-
Zanthe put a hand on Ray's shoulder. "That will change soon," she said. "Should we eat breakfast?"
-
Ray nodded. "Y-Yeah, and then we can hit the casino."
-
Zanthe raised her eyebrows slightly, buttoning up her shirt. "Hmm... you know, this will be sort of like that one movie, won't it?" she said. "Only with two instead of some number in the teens..."
-
Ray furrowed his brow. "I'm sorry? I don't know the movie."
-
The catfox patted Ray's shoulder. "Well, how about we watch it after this job?" she said. "It'll give us something to look forward to."
-
Ray nodded. "Sure, sounds good." He smiled. "Let's eat, and get going."
-
Ray nodded. "Sure, sounds good." He smiled. "Let's eat, and get going."
Zanthe nodded. "Is there a safe place to put this shirt before we leave?" she asked, motioning to the button-up shirt she was wearing. "It has sentimental value."
-
Angder staggers from a business building, he reaches for his phone and calls the police, behind him he is dragging a fox who matches the guy Geoff had identified.
"Yea... Found the arsonist" Angder himself had bad burns on his left arm, there is a small amount of smoke coming out the building. "Bring a fire truck."
((Once again, college, expect slow responses.))
-
Ray nodded. "Under the couch, there's a small lockbox."
-
Nodding, Zanthe unbuttoned her shirt again and took it off, leaving her dressed in a cut-off white tank top and a pair of (either pants or men's jean shorts. Whichever would work better.) "Okay... I'll just put it there now," she said, looking over at Ray. Her side was no longer bandaged, and as she had said, she was healed. In fact, there was no trace of any sort of injury there.
-
Ray nodded. "Impressive."
-
Ray nodded. "Impressive."
Zanthe closed her eyes and nodded once. "Thank you," she said. "Would you like to handle breakfast this morning? I could tell you about what I had in mind either way."
-
Ray smiled. "I can cook breakfast."
-
The catfox, for what seemed to be the first time, flashed Ray a small, calm smile. "Alright, then," she said, patting his back. "Let's get through it quick... we've got that job to do."
-
Ray nodded, and moved quickly into the kitchen. A few minutes later, and he had a decent breakfast set. Scrambled eggs, bacon, two pancakes per person, and two tall glasses of orange juice. Ray smiled, as he pulled Zanthe's chair out, and motioned for her to sit.
-
*Seth finally figured out the witness causing him to fall out of his chair...again*
-
Zanthe, sans button down shirt and with freshly washed hands, appeared in the kitchen while Ray was making breakfast, and sat down when he motioned. "Impressive," she said, taking a minute to nonchalantly observe Ray's cooking. She let another small smile flash on her face, this one slightly bittersweet as her eyes got a misty quality to them. "I... It's really been quite a while since I've had anything this complex for breakfast..."
(I'm actually writing a story in a class, and I'm considering secretly making Zanthe the narrator/protagonist. It's told in second person, which means that the main character is telling the story.)
Mr. Sawhit looks on.
-
((You mean first person, where a character in the story is also the narrator and using "I" and whatnot when referring to their roles in the story. Second person is using "you" and is a bit awkward and rare for stories. Third person is describing the events as an outsider looking in, or whatever. Just typical story telling. :3 ))
Geoff sat down on a bench and counted the change he had so far. He probably wasn't going to buy anything today. It was best to save up.
(Apparently, the two are somehow interchangeable...? Well, I do use "you" in the story, but I also use "I". Not sure what to call that.)
-
((That's not what I meant. Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-person_narrative ))
Geoff sighed and lay down on the bench for a while.
-
((That's not what I meant. Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-person_narrative (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-person_narrative) ))
Geoff sighed and lay down on the bench for a while.
(Well, yes, that is what I thought second-person was... Maybe my teacher messed up. o-o)
-
((Seem so. :P ))
Geoff didn't feel very well, but he had to keep moving...
-
(I suppose I'll find out tomorrow....)
Zanthe sat there for a moment, still looking reminiscent and a little happy and sad.
-
Zanthe, sans button down shirt and with freshly washed hands, appeared in the kitchen while Ray was making breakfast, and sat down when he motioned. "Impressive," she said, taking a minute to nonchalantly observe Ray's cooking. She let another small smile flash on her face, this one slightly bittersweet as her eyes got a misty quality to them. "I... It's really been quite a while since I've had anything this complex for breakfast..."
(I'm actually writing a story in a class, and I'm considering secretly making Zanthe the narrator/protagonist. It's told in second person, which means that the main character is telling the story.)
Mr. Sawhit looks on.
"Sahwit,i think i know who did it"
-
Mr. Sawhit leans over to Seth so they can whisper confidentially. "You do?" he asked, sounding hopeful.
-
Mr. Sawhit leans over to Seth so they can whisper confidentially. "You do?" he asked, sounding hopeful.
"You're lady cleaner,i have,some firm suspicions"*he whispers*
-
Mr. Sawhit stared at Seth for a moment. "You're certain?" he whispered. (.... It would make things very complicated if Zanthe was behind it because of something else. But that might be a bit much.)
-
After breakfast, Ray got the equipment together, and put them in the van. He returned to the living room, and smiled. "Ready, miss Zanthe?"
-
After breakfast, Ray got the equipment together, and put them in the van. He returned to the living room, and smiled. "Ready, miss Zanthe?"
(Well... okay, then. You did miss something, but it can come up later.)
Zanthe walked out of the bathroom, her handgun tucked into her waistband and her knives hidden on her person. "Yeah... I just had to take care of one last thing," she said, turning to face him. There was now a small, strangely-shaped piercing stuck through the bottom of her ear. "If I get caught, I wouldn't want to give them any information... Do you mind if I borrow a shirt?"
-
Avon walked along the sidewalk with her paws in her coat pockets and her nose held high. She didn't much care for the other residents of the city, but she had to get out some time.
-
Ray nodded. "Of course, but hurry. Time is of the essence, miss Zanthe."
-
Zanthe quickly ran into the bedroom, grabbed one of Ray's old shirts, and ran back out, slipping it on. "I'll do the buttons in the car," she said, quickly buttoning the first few and then picking some of the equipment up.
-
Ray brought the rest of his equipment together, and started towards the van. After loading the vehicle, he opened the garage door, and climbed into the driver's seat, throwing the passenger door open. "Are you ready, Miss Zanthe?"
-
Zanthe, moving with surprising swiftness, climbed into the passenger's seat and buckled up, then looked over at Ray and gave him a thumbs-up. "Let's move," she said.
-
((I accidentally removed a post of mine I didn't want to remove. Well, crap. :I ))
Geoff continued walking on. He didn't want to go too far from his shelter. Since he was new to the city, he wanted to get the feel of the surrounding area first, so he wouldn't get lost.
-
Ray nodded, and began to drive. After a few beats of silence, he spoke. "Why did you begin to tear up at breakfast, miss Zanthe?"
-
Ray nodded, and began to drive. After a few beats of silence, he spoke. "Why did you begin to tear up at breakfast, miss Zanthe?"
Zanthe got a slightly depressed look on her face as Ray said that. She looked out the window. "... Did I ever tell you that I have a family, Ray?" she said, her eyes not really focused on anything.
-
Ray shook his head. "You did not, miss Zanthe." He sighed. "But we're all in this game for someone else."
-
The catfox nodded. "Your sister," she said, glancing over at him. "You'd apparently do anything for her."
-
Acon walked along a narrow sidewalk with her head held high and her nose to the air like a woman in charge.
-
(We should all probably meet up at some point soon...)
-
Ray nodded, and looked down the street. He spotted a fur looking like they owned the city, and did his best to hide inside the car, knowing full well who it was. "I forgot she owned this place..."
-
Ray nodded, and looked down the street. He spotted a fur looking like they owned the city, and did his best to hide inside the car, knowing full well who it was. "I forgot she owned this place..."
Zanthe, about to continue her explanation of why she had gotten super-determined to help him after he mentioned his sister, looked over at the fur with caution, slumping down in her seat to look asleep. "Will this be a problem?" she asked. "Alternately, if you know her, you could ask her to let you stick the place up."
-
Acon's ears twitched and she turned her head to look around briefly. She spotted Ray and Zanthe as she turned on her heel to head in their direction.
-
Zanthe tensed suddenly. "... She's spotted us," she said, not moving and not really looking at Acon. "Any plans on what to do? I'd rather not shoot her."
-
Acon impatiently knocked on one of the van windows as she waited for Ray and Zanthe to acknowledge her. It was clear she wasn't pleased.
-
Ray groaned internally, and rolled the van window down. He spoke cheerily, but it seemed slightly forced. "M-Miss Lovien! I didn't know you were i-in town."
-
Acon narrowed her eyes at Ray as she sneered. "Cut the foreplay, Rayleonarde. What are you doing here?" She hissed.
-
Ray smiled, internally panicking. "J-Just out for a drive, miss Lovien."
-
Acon narrowed her eyes a bit more intensely. Any more and her eyes would have been closed. "You smell like you're up to something." She leaned into the window, closer to Ray and sniffed his fur.
-
Ray blinked. "N-No ma'am. T-There's nothing going on." He looked slightly distressed, worried that he couldn't keep Acon from the truth for much longer.
-
Acon eyed Rayleonarde a moment longer before she sighed, defeated, and shrugged. "Fine. You better not let me catch you doing anything you shouldn't, Rayleonarde."
-
Ray nodded. "N-Nothing I don't normally do, m-miss Lovien."
-
Acon looked up then to see Zanthe and raised an eyebrow. "Who's this? Your girlfriend?" She teased, but without a smile.
-
Ray shook his head. "N-No ma'am. Just a friend."
-
Acon nodded. "I see. And you two are just... On a drive, you said? In this van? This... Isn't the beginning of a heist about to unfold?"
-
Ray shook his head. "N-No. Just a drive, miss Lovien."
-
Acon gave Ray a sideways glance. "Where's your sister been, Rayleonarde? I haven't seen her in a long long while."
-
Ray bit the inside of his lip, before speaking. "S-She's t-traveling, m-miss Lovien."
-
Acon offered a light smirk. "That so? Where'd she travel to? What's it for?"
-
Zanthe, who had remained silent, regarded Acon curiously. There's something about her that I just can't place... It's like I've encountered her before. Sighing gently, Zanthe sat up and looked over at Acon. "You know, it's not very polite to pry into people's private lives," she said, her face expressionless.
-
Acon turned her smirk towards Zanthe as something in her eyes grew cold. "Aww, too bad I'm not exactly polite. But, Rayleonarde knows that. Don't you, Rayleonarde?"
-
Zanthe blinked for a moment, regarding Acon's cold stare. ... I swear, this seems damned familiar to me. "... Nice double entendre," she asked, scratching the back of her head. "So... You two have something of a history, then?"
-
Acon leaned further into the van window just over Ray's lap. "Have we met?" She asked, poking Zanthe's nose. "I know I'm not the only one that thinks that
-
Zanthe looked back at Acon, maintaining her composure, if barely. "Perhaps we met on the street once," she said, flicking an ear.
-
Acon sneered in disgust. "Impossible. I don't speak with the scum I encounter on the streets. Well... Aside from this one here." She tossed her head in Ray's direction.
-
Ray sighed, and looked up towards the ceiling.
-
Zanthe gave Acon a puzzled look, resting a hand on her chin. "Seriously, are you sure we haven't met?"
-
Acon pursed her lips in thought. "No, I know we know each other, I just can't imagine it was on the streets. Have we met through... Do you know anything about the Loviens? Maybe we met at a party."
-
Ray checked the van's clock, and blanched. "M-Miss Lovien? Can we continue this conversation at a later date?"
-
Acon waved a paw nonchalantly in the air. "What's the hurry? You're only on a drive, yes? What's a few more minutes?"
-
Ray bit the inside of his lip, hard, before speaking. "W-Well, t-there's a few things we n-need to do. P-Please, i-it's..." He paused a few moments, wracking his brain for a good excuse. "I-I need to get money into my sister's checking account. S-She had asked a few days ago, and I don't want to keep her waiting. Please, can we continue this later?" For a brief moment, Ray looked anxious, as (for what he knew) his sister's life was on the line.
-
Acon shot Ray a look that suggested she would do terrible, unspeakable things to him if he didn't shut his trap. "Rayleonarde..." She hissed.
-
Ray blinked. "N-Nevermind." He said quietly, hoping Acon would forgive him.
-
Acon smiled and nodded then. "That's better. Now, how much money do you need to save her, or is robbing me blind a mandatory step to getting her back?"
-
Ray blinked. "W-What? I-I'm not t-trying to rob a-anyone, m-miss Lovien. A-And my s-sister is fine, she just w-wants a little m-more money f-for her travels." He bit the inside of his lip, hard enough to draw blood.
-
Acon sighed and shook her head. "Ray, you're not as slick as you think you are. I haven't seen your sister in a long ass time, you're hanging out on the street with some woman I may or may not know in this van... I mean..." She sighed again as she climbed back out of the window. "Okay. Okay. I'll play along. Listen, tell your sister that i need to see her when she comes back from her 'travels'."
-
Ray nodded, and spoke quietly. "R-Right. I-I'll let her know."
-
Zanthe felt a dull memory start to come to light when Ray ended the conversation more or less. It was for the best that she didn't reveal her identity here... she'd been using a disguised voice, anyway. "Yes... By the way, do you have any enemies?"
-
Acon began walking away from the van and back down the street like she originally was going to do.
-
Ray breathed a sigh of relief, and continued towards the casino. "O-Okay...s-so that happened."
-
Zanthe nodded and looked at Ray. "Yep... So," she said. "Let's ask her for assistance."
-
Ray shook his head. "I can't. She's...kinda on a blacklist. If I get caught working with her, they'll kill my sister." He pulled into the casino's parking lot, and sighed. "Welp...no turning back now."
-
((Aww~ I just remembered Acon and Ray met at a casino the first time. He shot her right in the knee. -3- )) Acon walked into a nearby cafe and sat close its picture window, watching the people outside.
-
Ray shook his head. "I can't. She's...kinda on a blacklist. If I get caught working with her, they'll kill my sister." He pulled into the casino's parking lot, and sighed. "Welp...no turning back now."
Zanthe blinked... then smiled. "Well... What if I worked with her?" she asked, glancing at Ray.
-
((You got it backwards, dear Acon. Acon shot Ray's knee.))
Ray shook his head. "She's...got a few other qualifiers, too."
-
((Really? Acon got shot though, right? I'm going to look it up.))
-
((Mkay, Jacob shot Acon and she DID shoot that **censor** boy, Rayleonarde in his knee.))
-
(... In this version of Ascention or the other one?)
Zanthe cocked an eyebrow. "Right... I really don't know what you mean by that," she said. "Either way, whether I tell her or not, I think I could probably get her to help..." The catfox grinned. "If she asks, you don't know me that well, okay? You were just giving me a ride." With that, Zanthe opened the door and went to get out.
-
(The other one, cif. Before you joined. Way before.)
-
Ray nodded, and got ready. Small C-4 charges would punch through any locked doors, automatic weapons would provide enough threat to keep civvies on the ground. Masks would keep his identity secret. He sighed, and climbed out of the van. He kept his stuff hidden, for the most part. Ray looked like a normal gambler, upon first glance. But a keen eye would spot Ray out after a few moments of inspection.
-
((Boop. Where is the cif))
-
((It's unclear.))
-
Zanthe quickly checked her weapons, then turned to Ray. "Remember... just a handgun," she said. "There's no need for you to make a big fuss." Moving quickly, the catfox finished buttoning her borrowed shirt up, then looked over at Ray. "In case I die... Thank you," she said.
(Sorry about the wait. ^w^)
-
Ray smiled. "You're welcome, miss Zanthe," he whispered "and I always make a big fuss." He winked, and stepped inside the building.
-
Zanthe nodded to Ray, then quickly looked around for cameras. Seeing none, the catfox went to the place that Acon had gone to, steeling herself for what was to come.
(Acon, should we let Ray know what's going to happen?)
-
((He'll figure it out on his own.))
Acon sat inside a near by cafe with a thick book in her paws and her reading glasses perched on the end of her nose.
-
Zanthe quickly did a few stomach vacuums to ready herself, then walked into the cafe and took a seat near Acon. "... Hey," she murmured, raising a hand.
(Yes... Yes he will. X3)
-
Acon turned to look up at Zanthe with narrowed eyes, setting down her book. "What?"
-
Zanthe chuckled and put her hands behind her head. "Nothing, nothing," she said. "I was just wondering... You and Ray. Have you done it?"
-
Acon raised a brow. "Uh... No. I would never something so disgusting with a rodent like him."
-
"Are you sure?" Zanthe said, sitting up and smiling. "I think you'd make a cute couple... though I have no idea who would be on top."
-
Acon furrowed her brow. "What's it to you anyways?"
-
Zanthe shrugged. "I don't know... I suppose that I thought you'd want to find a suitable partner so that you could quit being a sex worker." Sighing, Zanthe sat up. "I'm sorry if I intruded. Have a nice day!" The catfox smiled and waved airily at Acon in a way that gave the impression of being extremely rude.
-
Acon bared her teeth at Zanthe. "Excuse me? Sex worker? Listen you, mangy piece of trash!" She barked, getting to her feet.
-
Ray started towards the back of the casino, and waited for the employee door to open. Once someone walked out, Ray slipped inside. He immediately set to work, getting everything ready. Ray reached for the radio set in seam with his suit, and spoke quietly. "Get everyone controlled, miss Zanthe, things are going to get loud."
-
Zanthe, hearing the radio signal, silently cursed inside her head. "Hey, it takes one to know one," she said, slowly walking out while whispering into the radio. "I'm keeping Acon busy at the moment. Want me to try to get her to the place so that I can pull the distraction?"
(Be back in a bit.... )
-
Ray sighed quietly. "If you must, we need to get moving fast."
-
"Got it," Zanthe whispered. Looking over at Acon, she smiled in a bitchy way. "You might want to calm down... wouldn't want to ruin your pretty face, now would we?"
-
Acon stood up and charged towards Zanthe. "You're fixin to get your face smashed in, you know that?" She growled, balling up her fists.
-
((No? I don't know where the hell you even got that. Acon didn't know Zanthe in that one and Ray and I have our own thing going. Plus Ray didn't have a sister in the old one.))
-
((That sounded bitchier than intended.))
-
(I am unsure what you were replying to... Did I ask something? I can't remember. :? )
Seeing that she had finally gotten Acon's attention, Zanthe dashed outside. "Maybe I am!" the catfox shouted, flipping Acon a backwards peace sign before running towards the nightclub/casino.
-
Ray found the counting room, and began to set the C-4 charge. "Miss Zanthe, get everyone controlled. We're doing it live." He set the timers on the charge, and drew his gun, as he waited for the charge to detonate.
-
Zanthe quickly ran into the casino, then pulled a small smoke bomb out of her pocket, pulled the pin, and pretended to stumble, taking the time to "drop" it so that it rolled behind one of the bars before getting up and looking around for Acon.
-
The charges detonated, with a resounding bang. The doors of the room flew back, and revealed the several stacks of cash waiting for sorting. Ray smiled, and began to pack. "Keep the civilians down, miss Zanthe. That wasn't quiet."
-
Just as the charges detonated, the smoke bomb went off below a rack of drinks, covering the noise and ggiving off the impression that there was a fire behind the bar. Seeing this, someone screamed "FIRE!" and people began to flee.
Zanthe smiled. "I hope that's enough cover," she murmured to herself, looking around to see if Acon had caught up to her.
-
Ray had at least $25,000 in his bag, and showed no signs of stopping. He called Zanthe on the radio. "Miss Zanteh? Is everything going well?"
-
Zanthe smiled, watching as everyone, including the guards, started to evacuate the club. "Perfectly," she said quietly. "Though I'm not sure where..." Smelling actual smoke, the catfox glanced toward the bar and saw that it had actually caught fire. "... Oh dear."
-
"Everything okay, miss Zanthe?" Ray finished with the last stack, amounting up to $125,000 in tow. He smiled, and started to leave the counting room.
-
Zanthe glanced around, surprised that Acon hadn't set up yet, then sighed into the microphone. "Well... You know how when people rush out of places, they get clumsy?" she whispered, slowly gravitating towards the door, her eyes on the flaming bar.
-
Ray shrugged. "I guess? Why? Something's wrong?"
-
Out of no where, Acon tackled Zanthe.
-
Zanthe grunted loudly as Acon tackled her, just barely managing to go with the hit so that the full impact was slightly lessened. On the floor, the catfox tried to wrestle with Acon, knowing that the fire was still a danger. "Took you long enough," she said, looking at Acon while masking her true emotions. "Shall we take this outside?"
-
Acon narrowed her eyes at Zanthe. "What the hell did you do?"
-
Zanthe tensed up as she realized what Acon was insinuating. "Wh... I didn't set the fire!" she said, kicking the acontium jackal in the stomach and trying to scramble away.
-
Ray stepped out of the back, and tried to slip outside unnoticed.
-
((After this, I'm gonna retire Acon for a little bit and introduce a different character.))
Acon coughed as Zenthe's foot hit her gut and rolled off of her.
-
Zaida sat in a booth at the club as music blasted furries dancing taking a sip of her wine "this city so pathetic, there needs to be changes"
-
Name: Henry Young
Age: 27
Height: 6' 2
Weight: meh
Species: Some kind of long haired breed of cat
Clothing: Usually black dress pants, dress shoes, and a thin tie. He also wears a white button down with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows as well as a thin black dress jacket worn the same way.
Personality: Extremely kind, vulgar, knows no boundaries, extremely polite towards the ladies, smooth/sly, goofy at times
Extra stuff:
Jobs: Bartender, photographer, part time gas station employee
Appearance: Henry is a tall, averagely built guy with a kind smile and bright amber colored eyes that glow in the dark. His fur is long and very soft, made up of a black top coat and a white underbelly that extends up his chest and over his chin and mouth. His paws and feet are also white and his tail is very long. His shoulder length hair is done into a smooth white pompadour that curls slightly at his collar.
Abilities: He's excellent at boxing, and other hand to hand who's er what's it's.
I guess he's just one cool cat. Hurhurhur
-
Her glass empty she set it down on the counter as the bartenders served other furs some doing tricks to impress. "I hate this planet" she mumbled. Turning her head fully around as she watched people dance as she thought. 'I need a job... It's what other do and if I kill it's eventually get me caught not like it will effect me in any way but I don't want all the attention...' She thought to herself her tail swaying side to side.
-
((After this, I'm gonna retire Acon for a little bit and introduce a different character.))
Acon coughed as Zenthe's foot hit her gut and rolled off of her.
Suddenly going into rescue mode, Zanthe grabbed Acon and rushed her out the door. "Sorry about being such a jerk," she whispered. "I hope your stomach feels better... We'll hopefully see each other again someday." With that, Zanthe carefully walked off into the night.
-
Ray slipped into the van, and threw the money in the back. He then called out to Zanthe. "Miss Zanthe, we must leave."
-
Henry Young, the coolest guy you know, strode the street with a skip in his step and a wide grin on his handsome face. It was clear the cat was in a good mood, as usual, but today was just... Better somehow. For Henry at least.
-
Zanthe cringed and hoped to God that no one was near Ray. "Please never say my name out loud like that," she whispered into the microphone... she was nowhere in eyesight of Ray. "Look, I'll... I'll meet you back at your place, okay? Get out of here." Stepping quickly into an alley, the catfox began to unbutton her shirt. "It's for the best that nobody sees us together. I'm going to be out of contact shortly, but when you hear something at your door, open it."
-
Ray nodded, and sped off towards home.
-
Ducking behind a Dumpster, Zanthe looked around quickly and, once she was sure there was no one watching, took her earring off and stripped to her underwear. With a quick twist of one end of her earring, it grew until she was holding a fairly large container. It was a strange device that a close friend of hers had made; she didn't exactly know how it worked, but it was sure useful. Popping it open, the catfox stuffed her clothes and weapons in there before closing and shrinking it once more. At last prepared, Zanthe glanced around once more to make sure that no one was looking, then closed her eyes and began to transform...
-
Ray parked the van, and unloaded the money, weapons, and whatever else was in the van. When he entered his home, a few well dressed furs were seated comfortably around his home, their weapons sitting nearby. One in particular, wearing a blank mask, stood, and smiled. "Ray, my child! You've returned, with my money I assume."
Ray sighed, and nodded, handing over the bulging duffle-bag. "Here, sir. One-hundred and fifty thousand unmarked bills."
The figure nodded, and sighed. "Good, but you're short. Tell you what, hand over everything you own, and we'll be square. Should amount up to the twenty-five thousand you're short."
Ray blinked, and took a step back. "Y-You'll just...t-take everything, i-in exchange for my sister?" He thought, very briefly, before nodding. "Fine. Take everything." Ray even took the ring from his finger, and the clothes off his back.
The figure, the secret mobster known as the Zambian, smiled behind the white porcelain. "Good, she's outside. Might wanna get her some help, though. She's not doing too well."
Ray ran outside, and searched around. When he spotted his sister, he picked her up. "D-Don't worry, s-sis. I've got you now." He started towards the hospital, as a large white limousine sped away, and Ray's apartment, with everything inside, erupted into a fireball. Ray continued towards the hospital, foregoing his decency for his sister's safety. "W-Wen you get well, y-you're goin' back to mom's."
-
Zaida was now as her motel it was cheap and nothing special she murred on the bed holding her pillow tight as she did.
-
As Ray walked to the hospital, a coyote walked up carrying, strangely enough, the clothing that Ray had taken off mere moments ago. It set the clothes down in front of the raccoons and crooned softly.
-
Ray blinked, and pulled on a pair of pants, before continuing towards the hospital, nodding in thanks to the coyote. As he reached the hospital, he left Valentine with the doctors. Ray sat in the lobby, rubbing his head. "What am I gonna do?"
-
As Ray sat in the waiting area, a familiar face passed through the doors of the hospital, walked over to Ray, and plopped down beside him. "... You've got her?" Zanthe said, glancing over at Ray. Her shirt was unbuttoned, revealing the cut-off tank top underneath, but the catfox began to change this as she talked. It also appeared that there were bandages wrapped around her upper belly, but she was too quick with her movements for anyone to get a good look.
-
Ray nodded. "And just her. They took everything." He sighed. "I'll have to send her back to our parents."
-
Zanthe shook her head. "Not everything," she said. "Do you have a safe way of getting her to your parents?"
-
Ray sighed. "No..."
-
(I remember this, it took me a while to realize it was the same rp. I'm joining.)
Name: Clover Varsine
Species: Cat (with pugwampi heritage)
Gender: female
Age: 22
Height: 5.6
Weight: 124
Powers: luck thief
Weapons: hammer of catastrophes (a luck stealing earthbreaker)
Appearance: when in normal form, she looks like a black cat with medium length black hair. She wears a ratty black leather jacket, red shirt, blue jeans with the knees torn, and combat boots.
Occupation: none, mugs people though.
Home: no real address as she is homeless, but she has fashioned a warehouse into semblance of a house and lives there.
-
Ray sighed. "No..."
The catfox lowered her ears slightly and looked up at the ceiling. "... Ray, do you trust me?" she asked, glancing over at the raccoon with a slight, closed-mouth smile on her face.
-
Sirens could be heard not to far away as a police were in hot pursuit of a hooded person riding a hijacked motorcyle.
"Pull over now, you can't escape!" A police intercom rang out. The person riding the bike ignored the officer and pullout what at first looked like a rusted pipe. However, after swinging it around for a couple seconds it grew larger and larger till it became a very large, menacing looking earthbreaker which the hijacker wielded no problem in one hand. She slammed the hammer on the street and a nearby fire hydrant blasted open and sprayed the cops car, which sent it spinning out of control into a lamp post. The hijacker than spend off down an alley way, headed for a hideout at the edge of the city.
-
Ray shrugged. "Kinda. Look, I don't want to get into any more trouble. If I know how the Zambian works, I'll be arrested in the hour."
-
Ray shrugged. "Kinda. Look, I don't want to get into any more trouble. If I know how the Zambian works, I'll be arrested in the hour."
Zanthe cocked an eyebrow. "While that's interesting and all, it wasn't what I was suggesting," she whispered. "The place I stay at... it's got room for more than one person. If you guys really need a place to stay, I wouldn't mind housing you for a while until you got back on your feet or could get your sister to safety."
-
Clover came out of her warehouse, her stomach grumbling.
"God i'm so hungry...I need money." She pulled out her infamous hammer of catastrophes and went down some alleys looking for prey.
-
Zanthe sat back and waited for Ray's reply, her face slightly tense as though she was in pain.
-
Clover stumbled her way towards the hospital and waited from someone to come out, ready to mug the first person to come out.
-
Zanthe sensed a slight magical reading outside the hospital, but ignored it for now.
-
((Sorta abandoned this, but I'm back!))
Geoff had done his best to get settled in the city, and today turned out unexpectedly fantastic.
The bear was by the hospital, on his way to his humble home--the abandoned unfinished hotel--pushing a cart filled with various foodstuffs. They were all donations, and he was very nearly in tears.
-
Clover began to stalk Geoff, letting her true self show. Her eyes turned a from a bright blue, to a dark black, her fur became tattered and smelly, her teeth long and sharp. Finally a pair of black insect like wings sprouted from her back and she her back was now hunched.
"Hey bear, what are you doing out this late at night?" Clover said
-
Geoff clenched his teeth. From all his time wandering the streets of many cities, he learned the meaning of that tone of voice. Of course someone was going to mug him...
He continued to push the cart along as if he didn't hear, not bothering to look back at the frightening creature.
-
"Hey don't ignore me!" Clover came up and spun Geoff around so he was looking right in her face.
"Hand over that food or my hammer meets your face."
-
A tall male cat walked along the streets with his paws in his pockets and a smile on his face.
-
Not waiting for an answer Clover quickly grabbed some food out of the cart and started running.
-
Henry was in good spirits for another night. He lifted his nose to the air and took in a deep breath
-
(I think I'll add one more character. One that is more friendly than Clover.)
Name: Rose Mariland
Age: 23
Height: 7.2
Weight: 545 ibs
Species: Thri-kreen queen
Clothing: when on working, weara a royal dress and crown. When she is casually strolling she wears a long blue dress that covers a third of her lower end. (Which is pretty big)
Personality: excitable, curious and generally has positive outlook on life. However she can be authoritative and imposing when she needs to be.
Other: One of daughters of Queen Maylien Mariland the third of Anthroinsectia, a country in Africa that has survived many centuries since the golden age of europe, she is the ambassdor representing her country in this nation. She lives in the embassy but will occasionally leave to see the city, but never without her body guard Vladimir Marquise, a trained spell sword.
-
Geoff growled and reached to grab Clover's wing as she ran.
((Sorry, my internet is awful atm))
-
"Ow! Let go!" As Geoff made contact with Clover she started to drain his luck.
-
Geoff kept hold of her wing. "All you had to do was ask nicely..."
-
"I never ask nicely, just like no one ever helps me." Clover was to weak to fight and even her ability to drain luck was not working properly.
-
"I would have," Geoff replied. He let her go.
-
"..." Clover paused for moment her true form slipping and revealing her normal face. Realizing this she covered her face fluttered her wings and flew off into the sky.
-
Geoff watched Clover leave, irritated and sympathetic at the same time. He seemed unfazed by her true appearance, as if it wasn't an unusual sight for him. He really didn't care how she looked, he just didn't like her attitude. But her actions did make him think, and that thought dug deeper and deeper as he continued to push his food cart home...
-
Clover sat on a roof and thought. For the first time in a while she felt wrong for stealing. Sure she need to eat and had no money, but maybe being nice would have gotten her more. She shook her head.
"No this is wrong I can't keep this stuff. That guy is probably in the same boat as me." She put all the stolen stuff in bag, turned invisible and flew back.
Rose was crawling along on the streets with her body guard Vladimir.
"Oh I love the city at night, so many sights, so many things to do."
"So many miscreants ready to take advantage of a woman like you." Vlad commented.
"Oh don't be that way. I want to have some fun and your attitude is ruining it."
"My apologies, my lady."
-
Geoff seemed to be in autopilot as he was buried in his own head, avoiding obstacles and making turns toward the small, abandoned hotel without conscious thought.
-
Out of no where a bag appeared in the cart with a thud and foot steps could be heard running into the hotel. A note was on the bag saying "I'm sorry."
-
While the building looked complete on the outside, the interior wasn't entirely finished, for the construction had been cancelled. In one of the rooms sat a small ripped-up mattress, a blanket, and a backpack.
Geoff peer at the note, then quickly pushed the cart into the hotel, leaving it against a wall in the lobby for a moment.
"I-It's alright," he called. "Wh-where are you?'"
-
There was a small thud in one of the empty rooms. At first nothing could be seen but than Clover popped out of invisibility lying on the floor. A closer look at her would show the fact that her stomach was gaunt and her features were thin and bony like she hadn't eaten in a while.
-
Geoff ran up to where he heard the thud, and upon seeing the emaciated Clover, rushed to her side.
"M-miss, A-are you okay?"
-
"I'm...fine, I can handle myself." She tried to get up but flopped back to the ground. Her disguise started to slip and her true form was revealed again. She moved her hands to her face.
"Don't look at me."
-
"I-it's okay," Geoff told her, but he did as she requested. "I... let me g-g... I'll get some food p-prepared. Relax, alright?"
He ran out to get the cart.
-
Clover had no chose but to wait.
"I'm a freak." She whispered to herself.
-
Zaida had her hands in her pocket leaving the scene not wanting to stay long and watch. She walked to the curb, so far lost in the city. "I hate acension" she huffed. "Perhaps ask to stay somewhere..." She mumbled but shook her head not enjoying the fact.
-
Rose was crawling her way down the street and saw Zaida who looked lost.
"Excuse but do you need directions."
"My lady is it really such a good idea to..." Vlad shut his mandibles as Rose clicked hers at him.
-
Geoff brought in the cart, rushed back out to his bedroom, returning with something in his palm.
He stepped over to Clover and placed it in her hand. A peppermint candy.
"If you're feeling nauseated, that should help," he said, smiling softly.
-
"...your helping me...after I robbed you?" Clover asked accepting the candy and uncovering her face.
Post Merge: October 25, 2015, 12:30:34 AM
(I'll be back, just have to head home after my brother's birthday.)
-
((Alright. And awesome! :3))
"I-It was in desperation," Geoff replied, "and I know how that feels..."
He stood up and grabbed a can of soup from the cart. "I know it doesn't look like it at first glance, though. I used to be way fatter, heh..."
-
(I am still waiting for Ray to reply. :P)
-
((Alright. And awesome! :3))
"I-It was in desperation," Geoff replied, "and I know how that feels..."
He stood up and grabbed a can of soup from the cart. "I know it doesn't look like it at first glance, though. I used to be way fatter, heh..."
"Heh I'm sure...not that I'm saying your fat." Clover blushed slightly.
-
Geoff chuckled and looked at the can for a moment. "Uh... psh, wait..."
He jogged back out of the room again, this time bringing his backpack in. He dug into one of the pockets, fishing out a can opener. After opening the can, he peered at it again.
"M-Might be better warm. Give me a minute."
He set the can down in front of himself and closed his eyes, hovering his hands over the can as he focused. The can began to heat up, warming the soup.
-
"Thank you...I owe you one." Clover said fluttering her wings.
-
Geoff smiled. "It's no problem."
He grabbed a towel from his bag to pick up the can and poured the soup into a bowl. He stirred it up and set it next to Clover.
"All done. Might've made it too hot, though..."
-
Clover didn't care. She dug right in, ignoring the fact that she was burning herself.
-
Geoff winced a little as he watched her eat. "Heh... So, uh... what's your name?"
-
Finishing her soup and feeling a bit better she looked up at Geoff.
"...Clover, my name is clover.
-
Geoff smiled and nodded. "I'm Geoffrey. Just moved into town, uh... recently."
((I have no idea how many roleplay days passed since I last did stuff. :P ))
-
Ray shook his head. "I don't...I don't want Valentine in the city anymore. I want her home."
-
Acon was walking along the street when she came across Ray and Zanthe. "Oh look who it is.@
-
Ray blinked, and stood, still shirtless. "O-Oh! M-Miss L-Lovien!" He was obviously worried. "I-It's..I-It's nice to see you."
-
Acon walked up to Ray, standing dangerously close to him. "Give me one good reason I shouldn't gut you like a fish right here."
-
Ray shook his head. "I don't...I don't want Valentine in the city anymore. I want her home."
"... I can help with that as well," Zanthe whispered, winking gently at Ray. "Do you think you might still be under observa..." Zanthe tensed up and looked over at Acon. "... Why are you in the hospital?" The catfox tensed a little, wincing and holding her upper belly a bit, but then stood up and got between them. "Because, if you do, his sister might see," she hissed.
-
Ray seemed to shake a little more. "B-Because...b-because I-I helped y-your family a-a lot?"
-
Acon effortlessly scooped Zanthe up into her arms and tossed her out of the way. "I've had enough of you!" She barked.
-
Geoff smiled and nodded. "I'm Geoffrey. Just moved into town, uh... recently."
((I have no idea how many roleplay days passed since I last did stuff. :P ))
"I have lived here all my life...I have a hide out down by the warehouses."
-
Zanthe hit the wall and stood back up, but kept her distance for now. "Please, just listen to him," she said. "Also, I did kind of save your life back at that nightclub. Just saying."
-
"Ah... I'm an explorer, I guess. I just go place to place."
Geoff shrugged slightly as he peered at the floor. "Traveling makes me feel better for some reason..."
-
"You sound like your trying to forget something...I can understand that." Clover sighed and looked at her reflection in a puddle. Disgusted with what she saw she slammed her fist into it.
-
Geoff frowned as Clover punched the puddle. "... Yeah, that might be part of it..."
-
Clover curled up and holding her rusted pipe.
"I didn't ask to be born this way. I don't even know what I am, just that I take people's luck and look like the monster children think is under their bed."
-
"Mm... then we have even more in common," Geoff chuckled. "Eh, well, my best guess is that you're some type of fey."
-
"...of what?" Clover asked her ears perking up.
-
"Uh, fey. Like, fairies."
-
"How can you tell? I could be just some run of the mill monster."
-
Geoff shrugged, "Well, I could be wrong. But the wings and powers are the main traits I'm thinking."
-
"Maybe...do mind if I stay here? Maybe move some of my stuff later when I feel better. I'm tired of being alone."
-
"I don't see why not," Geoff grinned. "There's plenty of room here. And that food should last for a while... I just hope we don't get evicted from the place. I'm surprised I've been able to stay here this long."
-
"Heh, if they evict us we can move back to my warehouse. I have been there a while and no one has dared t evict me."
Outside the building on top of a nearby skyscraper, was a man wearing a black and gold jesters outfit and white comedy mask.
"This city is starting to get dreadfully dull for my tastes...I think its time to spread a little chaos. So decrees the Will 'o wisp King.
-
Angder wakes up in his apartment, work had been slow for him, so he had headed to another town. He heads downstairs to head into the town for the first time in ages. He wondered if anything had changed.
-
((Guess we'll do a time skip, since it was late at night before--Though it might mess with Cif's and Ray's thing. I suppose it doesn't matter at this point. The timeline is goofy. XD ))
Geoff had gone into his bedroom to sleep.
-
(Ok I'm restarting because I haven't done shit and when I joined I wasn't certain what to do... so yea haha, my character sheet is fixed up as well. Won't happen again guys my apologies!)
-
(I did the same thing)
-
Ray grit his teeth, and looked at his feet. "J-Just...p-please, m-miss L-Lovien...I-I just n-need to get my s-sister to m-my p-p-parents." He shuddered, and looked almost on the verge of tears.
-
(So is there a time skip?)
-
((I'm gonna go ahead and update Acon's ref so that it's not confusing when I start referring to with a different appearance and shit. Her character won't change, just her appearance really.))
-
(**censor** copy cat, ugh~ *stomps off*)
-
((Oh hush! XD Acension is the only rp on here that I actually care about enough to keep Acon as cannon as possible.))
-
(Liar! *cries, runs to my room and slams the door*)
-
(I change...nothing. :P)
-
((Zaida wait! *dramatic slow motion run*))
-
(*jumps out window goes to slow mo a single tear escapes, sad music plays credits roll*)
-
(And they all learned some thing that summer. The value of friendship.)
-
(And potatoes.)
-
(You stole my line! *jumps out window*)
-
((I'm sorry....WHAT?!))
-
((You were always a good boy Ray. *throws Ray out the window*
-
(This is what happens when you have three crazy girls like us in the same thread. XP)
-
(Looks out the window as Ray falls "oh shit...")
-
(Yeah that looks bad. *I say standing next to zaida*)
-
(It had to happen. He stole my Cheerios.)
-
(Such a crime.)
-
(He deserved it... We'll see you in hell Ray... You monster....)
-
(*is ded*)
-
(He'll never hurt anyone again with his terrible ways.)
-
(We really should have done this in the fourth wall thread.)
-
(It would have been funny XD )
-
(True but this may have gone to far.)
-
(Oh nonsense, he's fine. Right Ray-gun?))
-
((Somewhat! I broked my watch.))
-
(Ok but shouldn't we get back to the rp?)
-
((Isn't there gonna be a time skip?))
-
(Boom timeskip, you ungrateful children)
-
Clover wakes up in a room next to Geoffs. She felt stronger than yesterday and grabbed food out of the cart.
-
Zanthe nodded gently. "That was all," she said. "By the way, I'm sorry about all that stuff I said earlier, I was menstr.... unavailable." The catfox blushed a bit, knowing it was a lame excuse but hoping it would work.
-
Geoff emerged from his room to pluck out some food from the cart. As he was more concerned with Clover, he hadn't eaten at all yesterday.
-
((Cif, I think we timeskipped. I'm just gonna role with that.))
Ray had slept outside the hospital, underneath a bench. He had nothing to keep him warm during the night, especially because he had no shirt, and frost clung to his fur. Ray tried to warm himself, and stepped into the hospital, surprised that the police hadn't come for him.
-
(... Oh. That was for everyone. :I Sorry about that, I must've missed that while I was reading the previous posts.)
Zanthe had slept inside the hospital in the waiting room, and was just waking up as Ray walked in. Standing, the catfox quickly unbuttoned her borrowed shirt and removed it, draping it over Ray's shoulders. "How are you doing?" she said, rubbing the back of her head. Her upper abdomen was bandaged.
-
Ray sighed. "I'm poor, cold, and wanted for grand theft." He looked a Zanthe with a tight smile that bared the tips of his teeth. "I'm peachy."
-
Zanthe nodded gently and touched Ray's shoulder. "We'll get this guy," she whispered in his ear. "You know, if you need a place to stay, I don't mind sleeping on the couch."
-
Ray shook his head. "Don't. Just forget it happened. Forget I even exist."
-
Zanthe touched her side. "Kind of hard to forget someone who seared a wound shut with a bundle of matches," she said, smiling sheepishly.
-
Ray shook his head. "Try hard."
-
Zanthe rubbed her arm for a moment, looking at Ray. "... I don't want to."
-
Ray sighed, and spoke. "What's your offer?"
-
The catfox rubbed the back of her head. "...There's a safe house I have further into the country," she whispered. "We could lay low around there for a while, if you'd like..."
-
Ray shook his head. "I don't want to move my sister until the doctors clear her...even then, I don't know how I'll pay."
-
Geoff emerged from his room to pluck out some food from the cart. As he was more concerned with Clover, he hadn't eaten at all yesterday.
(Sorry was very busy yesterday)
Clover saw Geoff and hid a smile.
"Good morning. Hungry?"
-
Geoff nodded absentmindedly as he sifted through the food.
-
"Something on your mind?"
-
"Food," he stated simply as he chomped on a chocolate cupcake.
-
"Heh...anyway I'll go get my stuff from the warehouse. I have a few things that might make our life easier."
-
"Really?" Geoff asked.
-
"I have stolen quite a few things...I don't feel proud but they help me survive." Clover used her magic to make herself look normal.
"I'll be back."
-
"Alright," Geoff replied. "I should still be here when you get back."
He shuffled through his backpack full of random junk, looking for something to occupy his time.
-
Clover was gone for a little than later the roar of a motorcycle could be heard outside.
-
Geoff was tossing a bouncy ball against the wall when the motorcycle came near. It spooked him, letting the ball thunk against his forehead.
-
It stopped all of the sudden and clover came in wheeling a motorcycle with several bags of stuff.
-
Geoff plucked up the ball and peeked out into the lobby.
"Oh hey," he greeted. "Uh, nice ride, heh."
-
Ray shook his head. "I don't want to move my sister until the doctors clear her...even then, I don't know how I'll pay."
"Leave the payment to me," Zanthe whispered, still looking fairly emotionless; however, a touch of a smile courted her face for a moment. "We're in this together, even if I'm technically not involved. Besides... You're the closest thing to a friend I've got right now."
-
Ray shook his head. "Helluva friend." His ear twitched, and he looked at Zanthe. "Do you have a gun?" He whispered quietly.
-
Clover smiled and dropped her disguise.
"Thanks, it's mostly just a bunch of clothes and cheap entertainment. But I also got this." She opened a side box on the motorcycle and got out a mini tv with an old Xbox.
"There's a portable generator in the other side box."
-
Was walking along the city streets with her head held higher than ever before. She was feeling extra arrogant this particular day.
-
Rose was walking as well with her bodyguard, just looking for something fun to do.
-
Geoff gaped at the xbox and grinned. "Oh, nice! I have a 3DS, from before I got, uh, homeless. Almost sold it off."
-
"I would never sell this thing. It may be the old one but I still got a few good games. Just be careful, the generator is hard to power for since its electric."
-
Acon was passing by the hospital when she saw Ray and Zanthe. She glared for a moment before she turned up her nose again and walked towards them. "What's with the pity part gathered outside the hospital?"
-
Ray sighed, and suddenly drew a pistol. He made it seem like he took Zanthe hostage, just as the police rolled in. He looked at Zanthe apologetically, as taser prongs dug into his flesh, and shocked him into submission. Two officers began to cuff Ray, as the others approached Zanthe and Acon. "You two alright?"
-
Rose walked by the hospital as well but saw the police.
"Excuse but what is going on here."
-
One officer turned. "We got information that one of the casino robbers was here. And sure enough, he was."
-
"Alright, a-and the..." Geoff motioned a hand toward the motorcycle. "H-how'd you get away with that?"
-
"Best stay back my lady. This is a dangerous scene." Vlad said and made Rose back up.
-
Acon's ears perked and she offered the police officers a wide smile. "Oh? That's interesting."
-
(... What the ****.)
Zanthe clenched her fists and walked up to the policeman. "Excuse me, what the hell do you think you're doing?" she said, acting miffed.
-
An officer spoke up. "Arresting a known criminal, miss."
Another officer looked at Acon. "Yes, he's wanted for grand theft."
-
Acon nodded. "Oh I know, but I think you have the wrong guy."
-
"Well, you've got the wrong guy," Zanthe said at the same time that Acon did. She looked at Acon in surprise.
-
The officer spoke again. "He matches the description. We've got to take him in and run paw prints." Ray was led into a squad-car, and the car started up.
-
"May i step in." Rose said pulling out her embassy pass to show her authority.
Clover shrugged. "Hijacked it recently."
-
Acon snarled at Zanthe, half tempted to rat on her in Ray's place before she looked at the officer again. "I know you have the wrong guy cause I'm the one that called y'all when it happened."
-
The officer spoke again. "He matches the description. We've got to take him in and run paw prints." Ray was led into a squad-car, and the car started up.
Zanthe walked over and sat on the hood, staring into the car. "Not today."
-
The officer shook his head. "Other witness descriptions, at least three, point this guy out, driving away in a large van."
An officer nodded at Rose. "Sure, but there's not much to be stepped in on."
Another officer approached Zanthe. "Ma'am, please."
-
Acon sighed and pulled a picture out of her pocket of a young raccoon that looked a lot like Ray, but with slightly different features. "Are you sure it wasn't this fur here they were describing?"
-
Rose looked at the picture seeing the difference.
"This raccoon is being wrongfully arrested and I have to step in."
-
Zanthe shrugged and got off the car, then looked at the officer. "You heard the lady," she said, motioning towards Rose with her head. It was taking all of her willpower not to lose her emotions.
-
The officer shook his head. "I'm sorry, but with a stunt like that, we can't take any chances." He looked at Rose. "Diplomatic immunity may effect you, miss, but not him. We've got to take him in. If we find another purple raccoon in the city, we'll take them in too." He sighed. "We can't take chances."
The squad car started to pull away.
-
Rose shook her.
"This is not how a legal system should be run."
"It is what it is, my lady."
-
Zanthe, a strange look in her eyes, quickly ran over and seemed to smack the squad car's front end. "Tell your boss hi for me!" she said, acting entirely out of character.
-
Acon walked around to the back of the car and opened the door before she reached in and yanked Ray out. "Yoink!" She yelled as she ran away with Ray under her arm.
-
Zanthe blinked. "... Well, you could still get doughnuts," she said, walking away from the squad car with her hands in her pockets. She was still disguised as a black cat. After a few moments, she simply took off running. "Thanks for saving me!" she said. The catfox quickly caught up to Acon. "So what's the plan?"
-
Clover shrugged. "Hijacked it recently."
"Huh. You've got more guts than me," Geoff remarked. "I've only stolen food... Well, unless you count taking abandoned stuff as stealing."
-
Acon thought a moment before she shrugged. "Take him to my place and let him lay low there?"
-
Zanthe nodded gently. "Alright," she said. "Hey, I'm sorry about saying all those mean things to you. A young girl's life was at stake."
-
Slowly stopping in reserved parking spot she stepped out looking around. "Finally out of the house~" she stretched cracking her body in odd ways such as twisting her back in a 360 angle and snapping her tail.
-
Acon raised a brow. "Take your apology and shove it up your ass. Now, when's his sister getting out of the hospital and where'd he say he wanted her?"
-
((Wow. Acon's so god damn mean, that kind hurt MY feelings XD
-
Zanthe lowered her ears. "Look, we'll probably be seeing a lot more of each other, so could we please be nice? Also, he said he wanted her with his parents..."
-
(I'm crying I don't even wanna roleplay ;~; it hurt mah heart but I'll be strong)
Zaida looked around. "let's see~" she hissed lightly, beginning to walk down the cement, her tail swaying back and forth, in a smooth but somewhat zig zag motion.
-
((It's like she gargled with salt water and spit it in my eye ,_,))
Acon pat the top of Ray's head before she looked up at Zanthe. "I'll try, but sometimes I slip up." She spat with a grin. "Maybe I'll have someone escort her there. That way we won't have to worry too much about it."
-
Clover shrugged. "Hijacked it recently."
"Huh. You've got more guts than me," Geoff remarked. "I've only stolen food... Well, unless you count taking abandoned stuff as stealing."
"Nah that is not stealing if it's abandoned. It has to be own by someone." Clover began to set up the tv and Xbox.
Rose walked nearby Zaida.
"I wish I could have helped more..."
"There is nothing you could do my lady."
-
Zaida wearing her casual clothes kept her glowing eyes forward as she walked down the street, deep in thought. Her paws in her jacket's pockets.
-
Zanthe shrugged and kept running, ignoring the throbbing pain in her midsection. "Okay," she said. "What was your name again?"
-
Rose was walking down the opposite way of Zaida, he lower end blocking most of the sidewalk.
-
Zaida stopped as she saw rose walking down the insect's body taking some space. The vexū didnt do much but stand there unsure what to say to the mantis. (Am I right she's a mantis?)
-
(Sort of, her race looks like a mantis. Let me give you the images, she has the upper body of the first picture and the lower body of the second.)
Rose saw Zaida and got a little flustered.
"Oh i am sorry, was i in your way." Rose said
"My lady she should get out of your way." Vlad said coldly but rose clicked her mandibles angrily at him.

-
Zaida didn't mind vlad however simply ignored him her attention to Rose. "I assure you it's fine, it's not like I'm in a rush anywhere, and it isn't as if your intentionally doing it." The alien said soothingly.
-
"I know but my butt always seems to get in the way. *sigh* you probably won't believe me when I say this is very attractive from where I come from." Rose said as she tried to wiggle to the side.
-
"Well everyone has their types, it's hard not to believe" Zaida replied moving to the side as she moved not wanting to get in the way.
-
"Yes, but I have been given many odd looks from people. I know the culture here has...a more idealized sense of beauty that I don't seem to fit." Rose finishes moving and motions to Zaida.
"You may pass if you wish."
-
((I've done that twice now. Posting in a different RP...And I've done a whoopsie-doodle.))
((Addendum: Change of plans))
-
((Ray?))
-
((Yeah, I made a whoopsie-doodle. Fixed it though.))
-
((Babe, you might wanna go back and read a little.))
-
((Oh, wow...I missed a lot.))
-
((It's okay. You don't have to change anything. I like the way this is going actually. A lot better than what Zanthe and Acon were doing.))
-
((Wait...now I'm lost. Which way is this going?))
-
((It doesn't matter, anymore babe XD we're going your way now. Cif, forget everything we did cause the cops took Ray away.))
-
Ray woke up in police custody, and was immediately charged with the casino heist. After a preliminary paw-print check, Ray was also charged with several extortion charges, and a few homicide charges. He was given two life sentences, on a several million dollar bail. Ray now sat in the corner of his cell, his face resting on his arms.
-
(I have another character I want to brush some dust off of.)
Name: Kammy Rose
Gender: Female.
Species: kitsune vampire
Powers: is a vampire Lord
Personality: excitable, short attention span, and overall just happy. However she will not tolerate anyone harming her flock.
Weapon: The bastard sword of the eclipse.
-
Zaida moves past rose the smell of light perfume. The Serynx twisting her head fully snapping her neck. "Goodbye" the word slithered from her mouth soothingly, before cracking her neck to Aline back properly with her body.
-
"...she is a strange one I can tell." Rose said and she and Vlad kept moving.
-
((It doesn't matter, anymore babe XD we're going your way now. Cif, forget everything we did cause the cops took Ray away.))
(... Well shoot. What do we do now?)
Zanthe sighed and watched the car speed away. "It wasn't even really his fault," she said, kicking at the dust and walking over to Acon. "He's probably going to be set up majorly and thrown in jail..." The catfox sighed, looking mad. "Is this city really that corrupt?!"
-
Acon looked at Zanthe with a raised brow. "Well obviously if you have to ask that question." She laughed then and flexed her gloved paws. "Let's break him out."
-
Zanthe nodded slowly, looking at Acon. "We'll have to go back to my house first," she said. "I'll need to change things up a bit... Also, we have to get his sister out of here before we do anything. If this place is that bad, they'll use her as leverage..." The catfox looked left and right. "... We should talk of this in private."
-
Valentine groaned, as she regained consciousness in the hospital bed. She was given a rundown of what happened to her, what happened to Ray, and the overall bill as of now. Valentine told the doctors over and over that she didn't have the money, but they insisted on treating her.
-
"I'll take care of the money." A voice said to the doctors. It was a red haired kitsune with two tails and wearing a black long sleeve shirt, mid length skirt, boots.
-
Valentine blinked. "T-Thank you." She sighed, and seemed to relax.
Ray hadn't moved from the corner of his cell, vainly hoping he'd be released.
-
"Your welcome...now maybe you can help me. My name is Kammy." She came to valentine's bedside and leaned against the wall.
-
(... Does this new kitsune have a character sheet? Also, was there another time skip?)
Zanthe waited for Acon's reply. "We're in broad daylight right now... we should go somewhere safer."
-
Acon straightened her suit jacket and began walking home. "I don't know about you, but I'm gonna take a nap cause I'm exhausted as hell. Ray will survive a couple hours. Then, we can meet back up at... Let's say the old Landry mat down on South Allen street."
-
(I have another character I want to brush some dust off of.)
Name: Kammy Rose
Gender: Female.
Species: kitsune vampire
Powers: is a vampire Lord
Personality: excitable, short attention span, and overall just happy. However she will not tolerate anyone harming her flock.

(Yes right here.)
-
Acon straightened her suit jacket and began walking home. "I don't know about you, but I'm gonna take a nap cause I'm exhausted as hell. Ray will survive a couple hours. Then, we can meet back up at... Let's say the old Landry mat down on South Allen street."
(Alright. I must've missed it. Connectivity issues stink. I've had to retype this three times now. -_-)
Zanthe looked at Acon, unsure where that was but certain she could get there with a quick search. "Alright," she said. "Then maybe we can get things more under control... I'll rest up too." The catfox looked into Acon's eyes. "I should let you know... I will not look like this the next time we meet. Also, do you need any equipment?"
-
Acon scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Don't you worry about me."
-
(Its fine but I have to wait for Ray now to use her.)
Rose went back to where the police had captured Ray and saw you two still there.
"Excuse me...I want to apologize for not being able to help your friend."
-
Zanthe looked over her shoulder. "You did a lot," she said. "I'm grateful for that. Don't let this city corrupt you."
-
"Sadly, it wasn't enough." Acon called over her shoulder. "Sadly, nothing is ever enough."
-
"If there is anything I can do to help..."
"My lady these women are clearly criminals surely..."
"Vlad you need to stop putting everyone I meet below me, we are all equals in this country." Rose said angrily.
"...of course my lady." Vlad looked down.
-
Acon smirked. "Yeah, Vlad. Cram it." She turned to look at Rose and sighed. "If you wanna help, your voluptuous ass could be our distraction."
-
"My what?" Rose held her rear end and blushed heavily.
"Don't you dare speak to the princess like that." Vlad said his main arms reaching for his swords.
-
Acon held up a paw at Vlad indicating she would pay him no more mind. "I'm just sayin. You're smokin', so you could totally help by shakin some tail, or by seeing what you can get away with. You ARE a princess after all. While it may not be lady like, it'd be fun. And maybe your little lap dog- I'm sorry, faithful subject, can help out."
-
"You really think I could pull that off..." Rose said and turned around.
"My lady you can't be serious..." Vlad says not believing this.
"Shut up Vlad I'm having fun! Like this?" She began wiggling her massive butt for acon.
-
Acon gave Rose the thumbs up and put on an approving smile. "Yeah, perfect! Come on, Vlad. You gotta admit, that was pretty hot."
-
"...Uh." Vlad couldn't help but be mesmerized by Rose's big butty.
"Vlad, your staring..." Rose said putting her two right hands on her hip.
"N-no I'm not!" Vlad said snapping out of his trance. Rose put a hand to mouth and giggles.
"Ok I can be a distraction, and if things go wrong Vlad can save me. He may be a perv but he is the best spell sword in my kingdom."
-
Zanthe just stayed silent, unsure what to say. "... Right," she murmured at last. "So who's going with who?"
-
"I can create a distraction at the front gate with my massive posterior, and you two can sneak in and get your friend. That is the plan right?"
-
Acon thought a moment. "Good! Then we're all set and perfectly able components to Ray's prison break. Also... I have no idea."
-
Zanthe smoothed out her fur and sighed, looking up at the sky. "... Acon, how big are your doorways?" she asked.
-
"It depends on the doorway." She said with a shrug.
-
Rose looked at her dress feeling it was too plain and boring.
"Should I get something more...attractive to help distract the guards."
-
Acon tapped her chin a moment before she shrugged. "You could, but I doubt you'll need to."
-
"You can borrow my shirt, if you'd like," Zanthe said, tugging at the edge of her cut-off tank top. "... Out of curiosity, does anyone do piercings well?"
-
Acon raised a brow. "Why~?"
-
"Hmm...yes that will work, thank you. I don't, they would hurt my exoskeleton." Rose said starting to get excited.
-
Nodding, Zanthe quickly tugged the shirt off and handed it to Rose, leaving her dressed in only a sports bra and the wrappings around her upper belly, along with what she was wearing on the bottom. "If you'd be willing, I may need your services for... disguise purposes," the catfox said, glancing at Acon.
-
Rose took off her dress and put on the shirt. Vlad stood the dress and folded it into a bag.
"Alright I'm ready."
-
Acon sighed and shrugged. "I suppose. You know piercings are permanent right? It'll make disguising yourself so much harder."
-
Rose began to practice her style.
"Vlad how would you rate my style out of 10?" She asked wagging her butt right in face. Vlad was blushing really hard right now, as this was something he had only dreamed about.
"...11."
-
Zanthe looked at Acon and suddenly gave her a small, sly grin. "Not always."
(If you have questions, please message me.)
-
Acon rolled her eyes. "Mhm." She said turning around to head back towards home. "Tired of these damn sparkle dogs poppin up."
-
"Her is my phone number. Call me and we can I be where ever you need me as fast as I can." Rose handed zanthe a scrap of paper with her number.
-
(... Sparkle dogs?)
Zanthe nodded and pocketed the piece of paper. "Thanks... Keep yourselves safe, alright?" she said, swishing her tail.
-
((Basically animals, more so canines, with all these special abilities and powers and stuff XD That's what Acon is and almost every other fur with powers here.))
-
(My legs! Ugh I've been working for four hours on my knees on concrete ugggh!~ I'm going to die now, goodbye BLEHEHNAWKSNEKZKND! I'm dead~ X~X)
-
((Rest in peace, Zaida XD ))
-
(Rose has no powers actually, she fights...with science!)
-
(Science my ass! Only bill bye can do that shit you filthy lil' liar!)
-
(Na you remember rose is an alchemist. Well...technically that rose is dead, like a thousand years dead. This is her distant grand daughter.)
-
(Eh... Zanthe's more cat than fox, but okay. XD )
-
"Come vlad. We should train for tonight." Rose turned and started heading towards the embassy, with a little wiggle in her...crawl?
"...oh yes my lady." Vlad said thinking thoughts that will not be repeated or even mentioned.
(I think Vlad and Rose are in love, just because I keep making them argue like a married couple.)
-
Zanthe stuck her hands in her pockets, the chill air cutting through her fur as she walked home, not seeming to mind the cold all that much but shivering all the same.
-
Valentine smiled. "Thank you...Kammy."
After the first 'free period' in his prison-based life, Ray had been beaten, cut, berated, and a few other unspeakable things all within the first few hours. He again sat in his cell, the meager sheets from his bed wrapped around him. Ray had wept briefly, and the trails of his tears were still present.
-
Reaching her fake safe house, Zanthe took a quick nap on the couch before grabbing some dark clothes, some disguise materials, and a surgical/medical kit and heading into the bathroom to change. Closing the door, the catfox took off her clothes and carefully began to unwrap the bandages from around her midsection, wincing a little. The wound there was not gone yet, but it was looking better. "...Brown will work," she murmured, starting to run the bath.
-
Valentine smiled. "Thank you...Kammy."

He again sat in his cell, the meager sheets from his bed wrapped around him. Ray had wept briefly, and the trails of his tears were still present.
"So, your Valnetine correct? I came here to find out more about your brother who shot me in the chest, during a casino robbery." Kammy said pulling out a bullet out of her chest skin. Oddly there was no blood.
"I left that in there just to show you."
-
Valentine blinked. "W-What? H-He shot you? H-He never...n-not unless..." She looked fearfully at Kammy. "W-What do you want?"
-
"I want to kick his head in. He killed a lot of good people in that casino and though this bullet didn't do more than a pin prick to me, it's still shot to the chest. He meant to kill me." Kammy said examining the bullet
-
Acon sat awake on her couch, pricking her finger with a needle shed taken out of a pin cushion.
-
"Ray wouldn't shoot anyone who didn't deserve it!" Valentine tried to sit up, but fell back to the pillow. "H-He's not a murderer."
-
Zanthe got out of the bath, having gone from black to a dark brown in color. Drying off, she put on a pair of black undergarments, black pants, a black cut-off tank top, and a black t-shirt, then quickly looked up Acon's phone number and dialed it.
-
"Ray wouldn't shoot anyone who didn't deserve it!" Valentine tried to sit up, but fell back to the pillow. "H-He's not a murderer."
"...the reports say otherwise." Kammy pulls out a picture of the shooter that has been named Ray
-
The gold and marble vintage style phone chimed loudly beside Acon before she finally answered. "Lovien residence."
-
((Wait... What story are we going with? Did we say the casino was owned by the Loviens?))
-
((I...I dunno. I was gonna leave that up to you.))
-
Rose was in embassy suite dancing for Vlad as he sat on the coach and watched.
"If I had a nose it would be bloody right now..." Vlad muttered with a red face as Rose was starting to really get really good at this sort of dancing.
"I think I'm a natural, I may do this even when this is over." Rose said.
(Kammy was just a bystanders that happened to be partying at the casino.)
-
((Okay? I guess it doesn't really matter.))
-
(So are we gonna start the break out scene soon? Rose is ready to be distracting...which makes me think Acon can be a bad influence.)
-
((Psh~ well duh, talia! She's a crim lord for Christ sake XD))
-
( XD but rose is very easily influenced, I shouldn't have let you near her. Oh well woulda shoulda coulda.)
-
((It's corruption for a good cause! Save the manatees!!))
-
(Yes the manatees!!! D: Now should we start the prison raid soon?)
-
((Yeah, hold on a min. I wanna wait until Cif and Ray get back.))
-
(Ok, I can wait impatiently.)
-
((Just readin' along, dear.))
-
"Acon, it's me," Zanthe said. "How are you doing?"
(I thought this had gone through twice. XD)
-
"Cut the foreplay. Are you ready?" Acon asked as she stood and walked to window with the phone in her arms
-
Valentine again shook her head. "R-Ray d-d-doesn't...h-he wouldn't...w-was he a-alone?" She couldn't believe what she heard, nor could she believe her brother would shoot someone who didn't deserve it.
Ray tapped his head against the wall of his cell, repeatedly.
-
"I didn't see, there was too much confusion but I doubt he was alone." Kammy gave her the picture which was taken at the scene o f the crime. It was a racoon that looked a lot like Ray but of course with some minor differences.
-
"Cut the foreplay. Are you ready?" Acon asked as she stood and walked to window with the phone in her arms
(Sorry. I had a very busy afternoon and night because it's Halloween.)
Zanthe let out a small noise of amusement. "Yeah, I just have to grab a mask and some weapons," she said, swishing her tail. "Are we doing this quietly, loudly, or right under their noses?"
-
Valentine shook her head. "T-That doesn't l-look like Ray."
-
(There's another raccoon.... Wow, this really is a setup. o-o)
-
((Y'all can continue without me. I'm kinda done with this and don't want anything more to do with it.))
-
Valentine shook her head. "T-That doesn't l-look like Ray."
"It doesn't...well than they got the wrong guy cause i heard they caught him." Kammy said
-
(... Acon, I'm on the phone with you. @-@ We're supposed to break Ray out of jail. What happens, someone suddenly assassinates Acon?)
-
(I don't know but you could work with Kammy. She was going to break Ray out of jail pretty soon also.)
-
(Alright... And Rose too. But I may have to wait for Acon to find out what happens. Perhaps I could just have the call suddenly drop?)
-
((Sorry. You and Kammy could do whatever. Just say Acon got bored of Whatever she was doing and abandoned the plan XD))
-
((Sorry to do this to you, Cif XD Everything just kinda seemed stale to me. I'm unable to get into rp like I used to @-@))
-
(It a fine that happens to me sometimes.)
-
(I sort of understand the feeling. I'll have the call drop now.)
"Alright... take care, then," Zanthe growled through clenched teeth as Acon hung up. Setting the phone down, the catfox picked up a small foam stress ball she kept for situations like this and hurled it at the wall. "'I got bored'?!" she said to herself. "Some people..." Sighing loudly, Zanthe walked back into the bathroom and fetched Rose's number, dialing it as she walked back into the main room and waiting for it to ring. Who the hell is going to help me break Ray out now?
-
Rose was currently being fed royal jelly to help lay her eggs when she gets a call. She raises her hand to stop and picks up.
"Hello rose speaking."
-
"Hello, Rose," Zanthe said. "It's me... we met earlier? Listen, that business we have to do may have to be delayed slightly... The other lady has respectfully buggered off, so I need to find someone else. Is that alright with you?"
-
"It's fine I will still be the distraction. Just tell when your ready and I will be there."
-
"Alright... Take care, Rose," Zanthe said, hanging up and pocketing the phone. Running a hand through her hair, the cat quickly took another bath to dye herself back to black, put on another white cut-off tank top and a pair of jeans, wrapped some bandages around her upper belly, grabbed a jacket with a hood and went to visit Valentine in the hospital. She couldn't let anyone see her as a brown cat.
-
Valentine again shook her head and hoped this 'Kammy' would leave at least her alone. Valentine's condition hadn't improved, and she knew being moved could cause her pain.
Ray sat in his cell, tapping his head against the wall.
-
Walking into the hospital, Zanthe quickly found out Valentine's room number and headed up to see her, wanting to know how the young raccoon was doing... and if she was well enough to move.
-
Zaida stopped sitting down at her table with a single plate with food, she stared off to the wall in front of her. The voices in her head echoing, this was normal for her, but she sat in silence looking down at the glass of water gently tapping her claw inside it turned black. Giving a long deep sigh she wiped the black blood on her nose she turned her attention to the window watching the sun setting and in the distance cars passing back and forth in the street.
-
*Red slept in his apartment,before the sunlight hits his face*"Uhgmn~"*He yawns,sitting up and looking around*
-
(Is this rp still going?)
-
((Sure is. It'll keep goin' till it gets locked.))
-
(I'm just asking cause I still see my post from when I left and not much in between. :/)
-
(Well I would have posted more but lately I'm not involved much in here. I don't know why the others weren't though.)
-
Walking into the hospital, Zanthe quickly found out Valentine's room number and headed up to see her, wanting to know how the young raccoon was doing... and if she was well enough to move.
(Might as well continue.)
Kammy heard someone coming and held up a hand for Valentine to be quite.
-
As the people walking by went past the room, Zanthe, who had been much quieter, took a few steps inside and stopped, noticing Kammy. "... Who are you?" she said, not taking her hood down yet. At the current time, she appeared as a black cat with blue eyes.
(I was waiting for you.)
-
(Aww now i feel really bad. :()
"My name is Kammy, I looking for Ray. He shot me while I was having fun at a casino." Kammy said showing the bullet.
-
(It's okay, you were grounded and all. :S )
Zanthe cocked an eyebrow lightly, then sighed. "Well, it definitely wasn't him," she said, stepping forward a little. "... He wasn't in that area that I know of. But come to think of it, there was someone shooting." The catfox unzipped her sweatshirt, revealing the bandages wrapped around her stomach an inch or two above her belly button. "I didn't notice until later, but I guess someone shot me in the abdomen."
-
(For part of it I was, the other part I just broke my kindle and had no way on.)
"Ow that looks like it hurt, makes me feel lucky. Normal bullet don't really hurt me, but it's the message it sends does." Kammy said.
-
Zanthe shrugged, then cocked an eyebrow gently. "I see," she said, murmuring for a moment before finally removing her sweatshirt. "... To answer your question, once the pain kicked in, it hurt like something else. Plus, the hospital was out of anesthetic, so I was awake when they cut into me to get the damned thing out." The catfox calmly extended a hand to Kammy, the other leaning on the gun tucked into her waistband. "... The name's Zanthe. What's yours?"
-
"Kammy, Kammy Rosarian." Kammy shook her hand.
"So its seems we have target?"
-
Zanthe nodded. "Yes... but first, we have other things to attend to... Excuse us, Valentine." The catfox quickly dragged Kammy into the bathroom.
-
(Last post for tonight.)
Kammy let herself be dragged.
"So I'm guess there's something you don't Valentine to hear."
-
(Okay. Happy Thanksgiving.)
Zanthe pushed the door closed with her foot and nodded. "Yes," she said, holding her hands behind her back. "You see, Ray didn't shoot those people, but he did hold up the casino... so that he could pay for Valentine's freedom." The catfox cocked an eyebrow and stood before Kammy, leaning back a little. "If you're going to betray me, then go ahead and do it. If not, then I implore you to listen to me."
-
"I'm not the betraying type and so long as he didn't kill anyone I can understand his situation...though holding up a casino is pretty stupid idea." Kammy said crossing her arms.
-
"I'm not the betraying type and so long as he didn't kill anyone I can understand his situation...though holding up a casino is pretty stupid idea." Kammy said crossing her arms.
Zanthe nodded once and rubbed the back of her head. "He didn't have a choice. There was a group manipulating him into doing these things, and they had been holding onto Valentine as leverage. He recruited me to create a distraction. Normally, I would've said no." Suddenly, the catfox's eyes lit up with a steely look. "However, when I heard that someone was holding his family hostage... Well, let's just say it became my business."
-
"...say no more. I'm guessing since I know Ray has been arrested, you plan on breaking him out. I can be great help in this especially since...I am a vampire. Don't worry though, I am much nicer than most of my kin."
-
Zanthe tensed for a moment when Kammy mentioned vampires. I hope she isn't the kind that holds a grudge against the walkers... "...I'm glad to hear that we're on the same page in that," she said, hooking her thumbs in the belt loops of her shorts. "Before we can do that, though, we have to get Valentine out of danger. The man who did this to Ray... he's some sort of crime boss. While I can assure you that, when we're done here, he'll most likely be dead..." The steely look returned to her eyes for a brief moment. "...for now, he's a big problem. I managed to steal some of Ray's things out of the gang's trucks while they weren't looking, and I've got some stuff of my own, so we won't be going in with just your sword, my assortment of weapons, and a distracting butt." The catfox blushed a little. "I'll... I'll explain later."
-
"...I am not sure i want to know. However i do know someplace safe, though the person who owns it may need some convincing."
(I don't know if Geoff still in this rp so I'm going to have Clover move.)
Clover had moved back to her warehouse and was currently playing Xbox with the generator and small tv.
-
(Okay...)
Zanthe nodded gently. "Alright... How is her condition?"
-
(The reason I say this is because clover might end up having to help with Valentine.)
"I'm not sure but I will carry her if I have to. By the way, don't insult the person we are asking for help or make any comments about her looks. She is especially self conscious about how she looks."
(We should also wait for Ray.)

Zanthe nodded. "Don't worry... I'm not one to judge," she said, scratching her bare side. "Should I cover up a bit more, though?"
-
The door to Valentine's room could be heard closing, and locking itself tight. A curtain was pulled over the window, and several items, most likely metal chairs, could be heard being pulled about for a moment. Inside, the Zambian, the same crime boss that had kidnapped Valentine in the first place, sat with his paws crossed in front of his mask, about where his lips were. He moved his paws against his mask, tapping it briefly before speaking. "So...Vali-Val...it seems young Rayleonarde got himself caught...that's a shame, a real shame. I was hoping to get more from him." He sighed audibly. "I just wanted you to know, nothing personal. There's more players in this game, you and your brother know this. Anyway, I wish you a speedy recovery. Seeing you like this...it hurts."
-
Zanthe froze and quickly held up a hand for Kammy to be silent as the other man talked.
-
Kammy knew someone bad was here saw a vent just above them. Kammy pointed it out to Zanthe and gave her a wink as she turned into a cloud of fog and went inside ventilation to get a look into the other room.
(Kammy currently has a birds eye view into the room, if you didn't get that.)
-
(I got it.)
Zanthe cocked an eyebrow, but remained silent so that she could listen.
-
Name: Cassandra "Cassy" Windtail
Age: Youngish (15 or older)
Height: 5 ft. 10 in.
Weight: 150 lbs.
Species: Crat
Clothing: Black cut-off tank top, black cut-off t-shirt, cargo shorts or jean shorts with lots of pockets, a belt with a knife sheath; most of her wardrobe leaves her midriff exposed. She also wears a necklace with a pink heart-shaped crystal pendant.
Personality: Kind, quirky, friendly to most people. She can kick butt if she wants to, though.
Other: She is a lower-level physical adept; this means that she can activate an aura that increases her speed, strength, and agility to much higher levels than a normal person. However, she can only do this for about ten minutes safely. After those ten minutes are up, she risks the chance of causing damage to herself, usually internal bleeding and a noticeably sore belly button. In one bad case, she accidentally herniated something. In addition, Cassy also has the ability to control light magic (for about an hour and ten minutes) and has a magic, unbreakable knife that she can never be parted from (This does not wear on her at all. Most members of her species have this last trait.) She may have other powers, but only time will tell what those are...
-
The Zambian stood, and adjusted his suit. "It's been fun, Val. But we really must be off." He chuckled, and turned to open the door. He blinked, and drew his pistol, a suppressed .45 handgun, and opened the door slowly.
-
(Which door? o-o)
Zanthe widened her eyes a bit, shaking with barely contained anger. This man is going to get it. So badly. Being quiet, she carefully found a place to hide in the bathroom and pulled her own gun out. I just hope he doesn't die first...
-
"Surprise!" Kammy said as she became solid again right behind Zanthe and punching him in the back of the head really hard.
-
(... Talia, check your post please. o-o Unless you meant to knock Zanthe out...)
-
(Yes it was...is there a problem?)

(.... ZANTHE. You were trying to knock ZANTHE out, correct? Not the ZAMBIAN? Just to be clear.)
-
(Umm....that is what it says doesn't it. Or are you seeing something else.)
-
(... Okay, so Kammy was evil the whole time. Got it.)
Zanthe cocked an eyebrow as she heard Kammy do that. A trap?! she thought. This should be interesting...
-
(I am confused...I thought he had was evil.)

(Oh crap I just realized how badly I ****ed up.)
-
(.... Zanthe is on your side. The Zambian is the evil dude.)
-
(Ya done goofed, Talia!)
-
(Why are they both Z's! That really screws with my mind, sorry. Just reckon it to where I hit Zambian. Acon I know I goofed but I'm tired!)
-
Zanthe waited quietly to see what happened; if the Zambian wasn't unconscious, she would have to do some quick thinking to get herself and Valentine out alive, not to mention Kammy. She wasn't sure how powerful this man was...

-
( thanks :P )
I sit quietly on a bench in the park with my eyes closed
-
(Maybe I'll add Daisy after I'm done with school for the year.)
-
Clover was behind the bench in her fairy form. She was planning on mugging Ben as she needed money and raised a rusted pipe to knock him out.
-
Cassy exited the cafe she worked at and headed home to get changed out of her work clothes. I wonder if Rose will call me...?
-
My ears twitch slightly and I open my eyes looking about quickly. I catch a glimpse of the pipe and I quickly jump to my feet, "what do you want"
-
Clover swung and missed losing her balance.
"Crap!" She said.
(Clovers fairy form is kind of weird. She has a hunched back, black shiny eyes, sharp gnarled teeth, finger nails, toenails and a set of black pixie wings.)
-
(Thanks for clearing that up haha)
I lift my shirt and draw a knife. I get into my stance and with authority I say, "To your feet!"
-
Clover got up, dropping the pipe.
"You wouldn't stab a girl would you?" Despite her appearance, she sounded fairly young.
(She also a cat.)
-
I begin to growl deeply "What do you want?" My stance doesn't waiver
-
The Zambian stumbled forward, turned slightly, and brandished his pistol at his attacker. "Bad show, friend."
Ray sighed, as he laid down on the rock-hard mattress that provided him meager warmth in the stone cell.
-
"Hey pal, I just wanted your money...but good luck catching me."
Clover disappeared as she cast an invisibility spell and the sound of running could be heard.
(Sorry I gotta go to bed.)
-
I snarl and replace my blade at my side.
I bury my hands in my pockets and begin walking the opposite direction slowly.
-
(.... I posted for Cassy. o-o I know it's too late, but I posted for Cassy, like, a page back.)
Zanthe tensed up and kept listening, using her foot to open the door just a crack very silently.
Cassy got changed quickly and decided to try meeting Rose at the Embassy. Grabbing her dancing clothes, she began to head over.
-
Cassy exited the cafe she worked at and headed home to get changed out of her work clothes. I wonder if Rose will call me...?
Rose did in fact call as Casey's phone rang.
Kammy stuck her tongue out at Zambian.
"Go ahead shoot. See what happens." Kammy said figuring it was just a normal pistol.
-
The Zambian smirked behind the porcelain mask, and drew another pistol, this time aiming at Valentine. "Move, please." He knew that he had loaded silver-plated rounds in his guns, as he was VERY superstitious.
-
Zanthe watched, waiting for the right moment to strike. He's got two guns... and the way he's acting suggests that he would be able to hurt Kammy, so he must have special bullets... The catfox looked at her own gun, a plan starting to formulate in her head. ... I'll have to be quick when I do this, she thought, preparing to aim anyways. At the same time, she considered pulling the fire alarm to cause chaos.
Cassy reached into her pocket and flipped her phone open, holding it up to her ear. "Hello?" she said.
-
I continue down the sidewalk of the city after almost being mugged, "this place is falling apart", I say to myself sighing a little
-

Kammy could actually smell the sliver in his gun and while she would gladly take the risk of her life...She couldn't risk Valentine's.
"You heartless *******..." Kammy stepped aside to let him go.

Cassy reached into her pocket and flipped her phone open, holding it up to her ear. "Hello?" she said.
"Hey it's Rose, just wondering if you were on your way?" Rose asked. She was currently in the process of getting dressed.
-
Zanthe observed the Zambian's movements, taking the time to familiarize herself with his scent. ... Yep, silver, she thought, a small grin coming to her face. I wonder how he would feel... if he saw someone transform?
-
I continue down the sidewalk of the city after almost being mugged, "this place is falling apart", I say to myself sighing a little
Clover had run flown back to her warehouse using her wings. This was certainly not her best mugging, which normally went so well. She just didn't feel as into it anymore.
"...*sigh* dang you Geoff. Now I can't pull off a simple mugging because of you...maybe I should apologize." She turned around and flew back.
-
"Yeah... I'm on my way as we speak," Cassy replied, walking through the streets. "You're at the embassy, right?"
-
"No I'm in the hotel next to it on the right. I am just getting ready...by the way what should I wear? In fact what kind of dancing are we doing tonight."
-
A tall, white and silver furred female walked down the sidewalk. She was headed Ben's way with her face in a thick book.
-
My mind in other places distracts me from who's approaching me head on. I run into the female and stagger back a bit, I snap back to reality. "Shit, I'm sorry about that"
-
Kath's head snapped up as she looked at Ben. "Oh! Hey. Uh... Yeah, sorry." She huffed, her long arrow like tail swaying behind her in irritation. "Damn it."
-
"No I'm in the hotel next to it on the right. I am just getting ready...by the way what should I wear? In fact what kind of dancing are we doing tonight."
Cassy blushed. "Well... Nothing too elaborate," she said. "We're going to need to be able to move about and all..."
-
"I didn't mean to interrupt your study's, I'll let you get back to it then", I step to the side to allow the girl to pass me
-
"So...something light." Rose said and got out Zanthe shirt from before.
Clover was flying around and saw Ben on the ground but also saw Kath and waited on rooftop for her to leave.
-
Kath looked at Ben a moment before she smiled widely. "You look like you need to have a good time."
-
I look at Kath and smile not being able to help a little chuckle, "Not gonna lie, it'd be nice."
-
Kath beamed up at Ben before her ears twitched and looked up to see clover on a rooftop. "Okay, well, it seems someone wants to talk to you first."
-
Kath beamed up at Ben before her ears twitched and looked up to see clover on a rooftop. "Okay, well, it seems someone wants to talk to you first."
-
I look around confused for a moment, "what do you mean?"
-
Kath pointed up to Clover sitting the roof of a building.
-
Clover fluttered down and landed gracefully.
"Hey uh...I wanted to apologize for earlier..." Clover said feeling extremely awkward.
-
"So...something light." Rose said and got out Zanthe shirt from before.
Clover was flying around and saw Ben on the ground but also saw Kath and waited on rooftop for her to leave.
"Yeah," Cassy said, turning a corner. "If you have one, a cut-off tank top would work... something that leaves your midsection exposed."
-
Rose looked at the Zanthe's shirt and it did fit the bill.
"Yes I have a shirt like that."
-
"Uh... Yeah don't sweat it", I reach into my back pocket and pull out my wallet fishing a twenty out of it, "Here, you clearly need it more then I do" I hand the twenty to clover
-
Cassy smiled, getting closer to the embassy. "That works out," she said. "Do you have a scarf or something like it?"
-
"Uh... Yeah don't sweat it", I reach into my back pocket and pull out my wallet fishing a twenty out of it, "Here, you clearly need it more then I do" I hand the twenty to clover
Clover looked down at the twenty quite surprised.
"W-wha? Even after I tried to knock you out with my lead pipe?"
-
"Just take it before I change my mind"
-
"Yes I do. I will meet you outside." Rose put her hand over the speaker.
"Vlad you ready?" Sierra opens the door and Vlad was right outside. The next few lines could be heard through the phone.
"...you were watching me change your perv!" Rose yelled at Vlad her face red.
"No I wasn't I was...making sure you were safe!" Vlad knew that was a terrible lie and he got slapped because of it.
"Never! Ever watch me change again!"
"...ok." Clover took the money and flew off blushing really hard.
-
"Yes I do. I will meet you outside." Rose put her hand over the speaker.
"Vlad you ready?" Sierra opens the door and Vlad was right outside. The next few lines could be heard through the phone.
"...you were watching me change your perv!" Rose yelled at Vlad her face red.
"No I wasn't I was...making sure you were safe!" Vlad knew that was a terrible lie and he got slapped because of it.
"Never! Ever watch me change again!"
"...ok." Clover took the money and flew off blushing really hard.
Cassy blushed a little. "Um... is everything alright there, Rose?" she asked, cocking an eyebrow.
-
Rose paused as she realized Cassy just heard all that.
"Uh...nothing anyway I will meet you outside bye." Rose hung up and went to the elevator, glaring at her "bodyguard".
-
Cassy closed her phone and slipped it into her pocket, then continued to head towards the embassy.
-
Rose waited outside with a scarf on and Vlad standing awkwardly next to her.
-
Cassy walked up with a grin on her face, hands in her jacket pockets and a bag on her arm. "Hi, Rose!" she said, raising a hand.
-
I look back to Kath "so, you were saying?"
-
Kath smiled at Ben before she held out her paw. "I was just about to head to this HUGE party on south Allen street, then... Just kinda cruse around the city for a little mischief."
-
I take Kath's law and smile, "sounds good to me, let's go."
-
Kath flashed Ben a large smile before she pulled him down the street towards a club by the name of Crazy Horse.
-
I laugh as I get pulled down the sidewalk by a complete stranger
-
(Kay so I'm like... Really tired XD Imma head to bed, but I'll be back on tomorrow!)
-
Cassy walked up with a grin on her face, hands in her jacket pockets and a bag on her arm. "Hi, Rose!" she said, raising a hand.
"Hey cassy!" Rose said waving back than turning to Vlad.
"Vlad be on your best behavior." Vlad looked up in surprise.
"What did I..." Vlad was silenced by Rose clacking her mandibles angrily.
-
Cassy looked between the two, then focused her eyes on the smaller one. "... Vlad, I presume?" she said, smiling gently and extending a hand.
-
"Yes...I'm her body guard." Vlad said and shook clare's hand.
"...also a my little perv." Rose muttered to herself.
"What?" Vlad blushed.
"Nothing! So where are we going?" Rose asked. The way they bickered was like an old married couple.
-
(Kay so I'm like... Really tired XD Imma head to bed, but I'll be back on tomorrow!)
(You and me alike XD I passed out right after I posted)
-
The Zambian smiled, but didn't move. "You first, missie. I'm not gettin' anywhere near you."
-
"Fine...but if you hurt her don't expect any mercy fom me." Kammy said before leaving the room.
-
(switching character using the one on the right now, his name is james and he is 15 years of, he has telekinises and electokinesis. he is a prankster and really smart when it comes to engeneering and building things.)
I come down looking at the apartment, "So, this is where chains has been all this time." I say when I land and walk into the building.
-
(You should still make a character sheet chains. The details are on the front of the rp.)
-
Zanthe gritted her teeth, weighing her options. He's got two guns... If I rush him, there's a good chance he'll shoot Valentine. On the other hand, he might shoot her anyway if I pull the fire alarm... unless... The catfox tensed a bit, ready to spring into action. She was still hidden from view.
Clare, who had been walking through, blushed. "Er... Hi there," she said, waving and walking out of the thread.
Cassy chuckled. "There's this hall over near the bay," she said. "They hold... er... assorted lessons there. And there's a really big door."
-
"Good I would hate to break their doors, anyway let's go." Rose says and starts goingt towards the bay.
(Wait what is Clare doing? Also, timeskip to the dancing place?)
-
(Having her hand shaken by Vlad, like you said... And sure.)
Cassy led the way, bopping her hips from side to side as she walked.
*LATER*
"Well, here we are!" Cassy said, walking up to a large warehouse-looking place.
-
(...I hate life. T_T)
"Ok let see what it's like." Rose wiggles through the front door and is greeted by a female white cat dressed like this woman.
"Oh hello." She says.

(Okay... We can pick this up tomorrow.)
Cassy smiled sheepishly and bowed at the waist. "H... Hello," she said, blushing a little. "Are... are you the dance instructor? I believe I called you before..." She looks professional, that's for sure...
-
The Zambian stepped out of the door, and started down the hall. After a few moments, he took off down the hall, and out of the hospital.
Valentine, who's heart was racing (as evidenced by the heartrate monitor going crazy), was crying silently.
-
Kammy came back in and sat next to Valentine.
"I screwed up...didn't I?" She said
May bowed slightly back "Yes and we have been happily awaiting for you miss...*checks a paper*...Cassy. My name is May and i own this studio as well teach here." May turned to Rose. "You must be her friend, Rose was it? We have been expecting you as well."
Rose nodded and bowed like everyone else was.
"So what do you teach exactly?" She asked.
"We teach belly dancing of course." May responded
-
Valentine tried to curl up as best she could, and continued to cry silently. She was obviously in shock.
-
Zanthe put her gun away and stepped out of the bathroom, walking over to the bed. Without saying a word, she gently took a seat beside Valentine and gently stroked her head. "It's alright... he's gone now," she said in a soft, kind voice.
Cassy blushed a little as May spoke, and rubbed the back of her head. "It's a very nice studio," she said to May, smiling sheepishly. "Is there anything that you need us to do before we... um... you know...." The crat gently wiggled her hips, still wearing her jacket (which, unlike a lot of her clothing, was not cut-off.)
-
"Actually yes, there is." May lead the trio into a back room that had a whole bunch of dancers clothes on racks.
"Before we start your lesson I recommend you dress the part. Pick out what ever you like and meet I be back in about 10 minutes." May says before leaving us in there.
"Oh so many choses..." Rose said looking at all the clothes. Than an idea popped into her head.
"Oh Vlad? How about you join us?"
"I beg your pardon my lady!" Vlad said backing up.

"I beg your pardon my lady!" Vlad said backing up.
Cassy grinned. "Come on, Vlad," she said, walking over to the rack and unzipping her jacket. "We won't be naked at any point... at least, I won't be. Besides, we need a male opinion."
-
"Uh..." Vlad blushed extremely hard as rose dragged him.
"Oh I see the perfect outfit for you." Rose said.
In a few minutes rose was dressed in this. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/28/9a/02/289a029cb80b0ebd8cea707a4bcce7fe.jpg
Vlad was dressed in this.

(The pictures did not show up.)
Cassy, too, found an outfit that suited her. "Hmm... How's this one, Rose?" she said, striking a flustered pose.
(The outfit is attached.)

"You look great!" Rose says doing a little clap. Vlad is breathless adn extremely embarrassed as he tries to hide.
-
"You look great!" Rose says doing a little clap. Vlad is breathless adn extremely embarrassed as he tries to hide.
Cassy blushed and rubbed her arm, carefully making her way over to Rose. "T... Thanks," she said, fluttering her wings. "You and Vlad look great too... Though it's a little weird being the only one with a belly button other than May." (I think....? I'll change this if I'm wrong.)
-
Valentine calmed down after a while, and looked around, sniffling. "I-I want...I wanna go home."
Ray got himself in solitary, after tearing the eyeball from another prisoner, and tapped his head against the wall.
-
Zanthe nodded gently. "You will go home," she said. "I promise... But I need you to answer a few things for me first. Is... Is it alright for me to ask you questions? You don't have to answer any of them, if you are not comfortable." The catfox, going against her usual, almost unreadable demeanor, seemed to soften up a bit while talking to Valentine, as though she was used to speaking to younger people.
-
Valentine nodded, shakily. "Y-You c-can."
-
Zanthe kept stroking Valentine's head. "Alright... if you're okay with it," she said. "... The man who was here... how did he capture you?"
-
Valentine bit her lip in thought, before speaking. "H-He showed up a-at my p-parent's place. S-Said we o-owed a ton of money, and w-was taking me as collateral."
-
Zanthe tensed a bit, suddenly worried. "...Your parents let him take you?" she asked, looking a little shocked... and angry.
-
Valentine shook her head. "H-He had guns! Lots of guns! I-I didn't w-want my p-parents to d-die!"
-
Valentine shook her head. "H-He had guns! Lots of guns! I-I didn't w-want my p-parents to d-die!"
Zanthe's shock dissipated, but the anger was still subtly there. "... I see," she said, looking up at the ceiling. "So it's like that..." The catfox looked back at Valentine. "...This question... this one is definitely one you don't have to answer if you do not wish to, but... were you unharmed while in captivity?"
-
Valentine shuddered, and curled up slightly. "N-No...I-I don't w-wanna t-talk about it."
-
Zanthe bit her lip slightly. If he wasn't dead before... he is dead now. "... Okay," she said, nodding slowly. "That's perfectly alright. Here's a different question... while you were there, did you hear anything hinting to how he goes about this collection business? Again, if it's an uncomfortable question, you don't have to answer."
-
Valentine shook her head. "T-They o-only e-ever said the Lake C-Cottage, n-nothing more." She stopped, and looked at Zanthe, slightly worried. "Y-You d-don't...y-you're not a c-cop, are y-you?"
-
Zanthe shook her head. "No... and I can prove it, I think," she said, gently rolling up her shirt on one side to reveal the faded burn mark where Ray had patched her up.
-
Valentine shook her head. "T-That doesn't prove anything."
-
Zanthe nodded and thought hard. "... I know your brother didn't kill those people for a fact," she said.
-
Valentine tilted her head. "Prove it. I-I don't w-wanna incriminate m-my brother."
-
Valentine tilted her head. "Prove it. I-I don't w-wanna incriminate m-my brother."
Zanthe thought hard. "... Okay, I'm assuming that you aren't a police or criminal informant, correct?" she asked.
-
Valentine nodded. "I-I've...w-well, let's just say yes."
-
Valentine nodded. "I-I've...w-well, let's just say yes."
Zanthe cocked an eyebrow slowly. "... So you promise not to tell anyone?" she asked.
-
Valentine nodded. "I-I'm n-not g-gonna t-tell anyone a-anything. N-Not anymore."
-
Zanthe lowered her ears a little at that, but took a deep breath. Here goes nothing... "Well... You know how your brother was said to have killed people while robbing that casino to get you back?" she said, looking over at Kammy with a "Don't you tell anyone either" look.
-
Valentine nodded. "H-He w-wouldn't s-shoot a-anyone. U-Unless i-it was necessary."
-
Valentine nodded. "H-He w-wouldn't s-shoot a-anyone. U-Unless i-it was necessary."
Zanthe nodded. "I know... but that's not why I know he didn't shoot anyone in the casino," she whispered to Valentine, glancing around and trying to determine if there were any cameras or wire taps.
-
"You look great!" Rose says doing a little clap. Vlad is breathless adn extremely embarrassed as he tries to hide.
Cassy blushed and rubbed her arm, carefully making her way over to Rose. "T... Thanks," she said, fluttering her wings. "You and Vlad look great too... Though it's a little weird being the only one with a belly button other than May." (I think....? I'll change this if I'm wrong.)
(They don't since they are bugs and came from eggs. Out of curiosity I even went looking for what a baby thri-kreen look like and can show it if you want?)
"Well I heard other dancers when we walked in so you might not be the only one. Besides, not having a belly button isn't my weirdest trait." Rose states. Vlad slowly comes out of his hiding spot.
"Y-yes...like how our skeletons are on the outside of our bodies." Vlad comments.
(What has happened with Kammy, Zanthe, and Valentine by the way?)
-

(What has happened with Kammy, Zanthe, and Valentine by the way?)
Cassy shrugged. "It's normal for you guys," she said, playing with her one earring. "...You both look fantastic, by the way." The crat smiled and wiggled her hips a little to make sure her costume didn't slip any. (Sure, I'd like to see that. Also, Kammy, Zanthe, and Valentine are still in the hospital room. Zanthe is asking Valentine questions, and Valentine wants proof that Zanthe isn't a cop.)
-
Valentine nodded. "Go o-on..."
-
Zanthe took a deep breath as she thought of a safe way to say this. "Valentine," she began, leaning in close and whispering in the raccoon's ear. "A few days previous to that event, your brother sort of... found me while I was injured and let me stay with him for a while." The catfox chose her words carefully as she spoke. "He told me about how you had been kidnapped, and... Let's just say, when it comes to family, I have a bit of a soft spot, so I agreed to help him out slightly. I actually got into a fight with the casino's owner while he was getting the money to free you. However, he was never in that main room. He couldn't have been. There was a fire behind one of the bars, and everyone evacuated. I was the last one to leave because I had to carry someone out. No one got shot that I saw." Zanthe glanced around. "And if anyone else is hearing or recording this, I have one more thing to add. Leave us be, for your own safety."
-
Valentine listened intently, and felt Zanthe's words were true. She smiled, and spoke. "I-I believe you."
-
Valentine listened intently, and felt Zanthe's words were true. She smiled, and spoke. "I-I believe you."
Zanthe leaned back and gave Valentine a very faint smile. "... Alright," she said. "How are you feeling?"
-
Valentine sighed. "L-Like I wanna go home."
-
Valentine sighed. "L-Like I wanna go home."
Zanthe nodded gently, rubbing her arm. "... Valentine, is it safe for you there right now? Also... how are you physically? Can you be moved?"
-
Valentine nodded. "I-I think I can walk."
-
Valentine nodded. "I-I think I can walk."
Zanthe nodded and zipped her jacket back up. "Alright... Let's get you out of here," she said, brushing her fur a bit and standing up. "Do you have clothes?"
-
Valentine shook her head. "N-No, j-just the hospital gown."
-
Valentine shook her head. "N-No, j-just the hospital gown."
Zanthe nodded gently, then removed her jacket, socks, and shoes. "You can wear these," she said. "It's big enough to suit you like a dress. Besides, I'm used to the cold weather..." The catfox brushed some hair from her eyes, standing beside Valentine in a cropped tank top and a pair of longer jean shorts. She still looked like a dark brown cat with blue eyes, though. "We can stop at my house to get you some proper clothes, alright?"
-
Kammy came in after having been on the phone.
"My friend clover said she could keep Valentine safe for a little while."
"Are you all dressed and ready?" May asked opening the door a crack.
(The picture was to large unfortunately.)
-
Kammy came in after having been on the phone.
"My friend clover said she could keep Valentine safe for a little while."
"Are you all dressed and ready?" May asked opening the door a crack.

Zanthe nodded. "Can you trust this Clover?"
Cassy blushed and stopped moving mid-wiggle, turning to smile at May. "Well... I am, I think," she said, combing her hair with her hand. Dear god, I hope this doesn't make me look too chubby... The crat girl folded her hands on her stomach.
-
Kammy nods. "Yes, clover has kept me safe before and hates the cops with a passion."
"Oh is something wrong with your stomach?" May asks Cifero.
-
Cifero looks through the fourth wall, directly at Stephen. "Please leave me out of this thread until I decide that I want to join in," he said, eating a bowl of cereal.
Cassy flushed a little. "I'm... I'm not sure," she said.
-
Stephen, my evil twin looks Cifero in the eyes.
"His name is Stephan!" Shoves him back through the fourth wall.
"Well if your not feeling well maybe we could reschedule?" May said.
"Come on Cassy, you were fine just a minute ago." Rose said. Vlad crossed his fingers that they could go.
-
Cassy took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself. "Miss May... Are we allowed to wear fake jewelry?" she asked, blushing lightly and smiling.
-
"So long as it doesn't get in the way. Why do you ask?"
-
Blushing, the crat let her hands drop. "Well... I have this fake navel ring I've been meaning to try out," she asked. "Is it okay to wear it during practice?" What she didn't say was that it was a gift from her sister and would comfort her a little.
-
"Yes that is absolutely fine, a couple of my regulars have actual belly rings so i see no problem with a fake one. So shall we move into the dance room."
(Could you take control of May? I have no idea how a belly dancing class would go.)
-
"Yes that is absolutely fine, a couple of my regulars have actual belly rings so i see no problem with a fake one. So shall we move into the dance room."
(Could you take control of May? I have no idea how a belly dancing class would go.)
Cassy smiled. "Yes... just let me grab my ring," she said, running over to her jacket and returning with a small ruby piercing in her navel.
May nodded and turned. "Right this way, please," she said, heading into the other room.
(Sure... though I am not sure either. o-o Perhaps we should be some of the other people there as well?)
-
(I am already having trouble with Vlad and Rose, we could mention that they are their and what they are all doing as a group. Also maybe google how to belly dance.)
-
(... okay. But perhaps have Vlad and Rose enter first.)
Just as May had said, there were a few other students in the room, dressed in different costumes and of all different species. The white cat clapped her hands a few times. "Alright, everyone," she said. "Please gather in the middle of the room..."
Cassy blushed and looked around at all the other dancers. "Wow," she murmured, fluttering her wings a bit. I didn't think it would be this crowded...
-
Valentine got dressed, as quickly as she could, before getting out of bed. She stood shakily, and braced herself against the bed.
-
(I am going to bed. Goodnight.)
-
Zanthe gently knelt down beside Valentine. "... Do you need someone to support you?" she asked.
-
Valentine nodded. "A-A little."
-
Valentine nodded. "A-A little."
Nodding, Zanthe considered pulling out her special abilities, but thought again. "... You can lean against my side," she said, offering Valentine a hand.
-
Valentine nodded, and took Zanthe's paw. "T-Thank you."
-
The catfox nodded and held Valentine's paw with a careful but firm grasp. "Okay... I'm not sure if the building is being watched or not, so we may have to sneak out of here."
-
Valentine nodded. "I don't t-think we're being watched, but...i-if you insist."
-
Zanthe looked at Kammy. "We're going to walk out of here, but if you could possibly fix their records to say that she left with a legal guardian, that would be great."
-
"I can do that, so long as the nurse is susceptible to my hypnotism." Kammy says ands heads off towards the front desk.
-
Nodding to Kammy, Zanthe guided Valentine in the opposite direction. "Come on... we can take the back entrance..."
May glanced into the other room as the students gathered in the middle of the room, waiting for Rose and Vlad.
Cassy looked around at a few of the other girls, adjusting her fake navel ring a little.
-
Rose entered the room...well sort of. She got stuck in the door...again.
"Push vlad!" Rose said, blushing really hard.
"I am trying but you butt is massive!" Vlad replied. Eventually Rose got through and took their places.
Kammy was currently hypnotizing the check out lady.
"Valentine has been check out by a guardian, she has played her bills...*takes bowl of candy that is for the kids* and you will let me have all this candy." The nurse nods in her trance and Kammy goes to meet up with Zanthe and Valentine.
Clover drove her motorcycle into the back alley of the hospital, waiting to give an extraction.
-
Cassy blushed and stood close to Rose, feeling rather awkward. Why am I so nervous? I dress like this all the time... well, not like this, but my midriff's almost always showing... The girl glanced down at the ruby in her navel. I wish my sister were here...
Zanthe pushed open the door to the outside, pulling Valentine close. "Kind of chilly tonight," she murmured, looking up at the sky.
May clapped her hands a few times. "Settle down, everyone," she said, waiting until everyone was calm until she continued to speak. "Well... Hello, class. My name is May Deveraux, and I will be educating you in the art of belly dancing." The white cat smiled and took a sheaf of papers from a nearby table. "Now, before we get started, I'd like to give you all this packet for reading at home," she said, handing the sheaf to the person in front. "Please take the time to read it at home; it will help you out greatly."
-
Rose waited till she got her packet and passed one to the person. She didn't what a "sheaf" was but it a apparently very informative.
Vlad felt very out of place here, but couldn't help but stare at some of the girls.
-
Some of the girls were quite attractive. The number of species that were present varied quite a bit, and people were in all shapes and sizes.
Cassy got her packet and quickly tucked it away in her bag before returning.
May looked around. "Everyone has one, correct?" she said. "Good... we can get started." The cat walked over to the table. "Now, tonight's class will be about getting to know each other, but first, I'd like to fill you in a little on the history of belly dancing..."
*A LITTLE LATER*
May smiled widely as the giggling stopped. "Well then, now that that's been said, I thought we could start with a little contest..." Walking over to a nearby cabinet, the white cat rolled out a number of hula hoops.
Zanthe glanced around. "We seem to be in the clear..."
-
(I'm waiting on Ray to respond, don't want to hall his character around like a statue.)
"...oh no." Rose muttered to herself. She had never hula hooped before, which was the downside of being royalty. You rarely got to do fun stuff.
Vlad however had and was starting to relax, trying to make the best of the situation.
-
(Alright.)
May swiftly passed the hoops out, keeping one for herself, and returned to the front of the class. "Now, while I explain this, please feel free to stretch out a little," she said. "Stretching is a key element to performing well as a belly dancer. If you don't stretch, you'll have a higher chance of pulling something." The cat quickly demonstrated a few exercise poses for her students.
Cassy watched May and carefully tried to copy her, wiggling her hips a little.
*LATER*
"Alright... get your hoops ready, class!" May said, picking hers up.
-
(I gotta get ready for bed, Goodnight.)
-
(Okay... Goodnight, Talia. ^_^ )
-
Valentine nodded, and wrapped her tail around her legs. "Y-Yeah...i-it's kinda c-cold." She huddled closer to Zanthe. "B-But, I-I've been through worse, believe me."
-
Valentine nodded, and wrapped her tail around her legs. "Y-Yeah...i-it's kinda c-cold." She huddled closer to Zanthe. "B-But, I-I've been through worse, believe me."
Zanthe nodded once, letting Valentine huddle close to her. "I do," she said, looking around. "... Where's Kammy?"
-
Kammy came out the bacl door finishing off the bowl of candy she stole.
"I am here, clover should be here any..." Kammy shielded her eyes as a bright light shined on all them and the roar of an engine could be heard. It was clover on her motorcycle, who slowed down to stop right before them and took off her helmet.
Clover was in her disguise so she looked like a normal, white, anthro cat.
"Hey Kammy, I came just like you asked." She said.
"Great. Zanthe and Valnetine, this is clover." Kammy said.
-
Cassy put her hoop over her head and held it around her waist.
Zanthe cocked an eyebrow as she looked at Clover. "... Nice to meet you," she said, deciding to not mention that Clover was wearing a disguise. She's definitely not normal... I can smell something supernatural about her...
-
Rose put her hoop around her waist and so did Vlad, waiting for instructions.
"Good to see you too...now get on Valentine. We are headed to my warehouse." Clover said.
(Can Zanthe see illusions, the disguise is an illusion to make her look normal.)
-
Valentine climbed onto the back of Clover's motorcycle, and wrapped her arms around Clover's stomach. "R-Ready."
-
(... I'm not sure.)
Zanthe peered a little closer at Clover. "... You're not what you seem, are you?" she said, suddenly starting to take her tank top off.
"Now, I want you all to go for as long as you can," May said, smiling widely. "Remember the exercises and do whatever you can to keep the hoop spinning around your waist... but do not use your hands. Allow me to demonstrate..." The white cat started to hula hoop, keeping her hands in the air while letting her hips do all the work.
Cassy blushed and watched, entranced.
-
(Sorry I had to go do stuff.)
"Of course, how do you think I have survived the streets this long by myself." Clover says.
Rose tried to copy the teachers movement, but was having difficulty.
Vlad was doing just fine as he actually used to live hulla hooping.
-
(It's okay.)
Zanthe, for a moment, allowed herself a very brief smile. "You and I might get along well," she said, taking off her shorts next. "Anyway, we should probably head over there... but I need you to take these things with you." The catfox held out her outer clothes and her pistol; she was now standing outside in her underpants.
The other students began to follow suit, hula hooping with varying levels of ease.
Seeing that Rose was having some trouble, May walked over, maintaining the hula hooping. "... Do you need some assistance, my dear?" she asked.
Cassy slowly began to hula hoop herself, remembering May's instructions.
-
"Yes please, I have never done this before." Rose said and held the hula hoop for a second to listen.
"Ok...and your giving me these why?" Clover asks.
-
"Yes please, I have never done this before." Rose said and held the hula hoop for a second to listen.
"Ok...and your giving me these why?" Clover asks.
May stroked her chin for a moment. "Well, your hoop suits you... so that's alright," she said. "Now... watch me." The cat let her hula hoop return to the ground, then picked it up and held it at her waist level, holding it firmly in both hands with part of the hoop resting against her side. "Hold it like this, for starters..."
Cassy kept hula hooping; she was actually doing a rather good job of keeping it up.
(... Um... what about the other girl?)
Zanthe stood back for a moment. "... I didn't want to leave them behind," she said, looking from side to side to make sure no one was watching. "Also, it'll help me to follow you after you're gone so that we can meet up."
-
(Do you mean the peacock lady...who I forgot the name for or Kammy?)
"...ok than. My warehouse is on the edge of town by the old abandoned steel factory, I'll meet you there." Clover starts the engine and drives off with Valentine.
"So...do you turn invisible?" Kammy asks Zanthe.
-
(Do you mean the peacock lady...who I forgot the name for or Kammy?)
"...ok than. My warehouse is on the edge of town by the old abandoned steel factory, I'll meet you there." Clover starts the engine and drives off with Valentine.
"So...do you turn invisible?" Kammy asks Zanthe.
(That would be the one. Ruby Callahan, I think it was?)
Zanthe looked over at Kammy for a moment. "Not quite," she said, quickly dashing behind a dumpster. Almost as soon as she does, a strange magical feeling comes from behind the dumpster and, moments later, a coyote padded out from behind the receptacle. It stopped by Kammy and looked up at her for a moment, seeming to grin. The animal then sniffed the air and ran in the same direction as Clover.
-
"...ok." Kammy went up in a puff of smoke, turning into a tiny bat and follows Zanthe.
Rose held the hula hoop like she was instructed.
However, one of the dancers was giving Rose sort of a glare, a peacock woman (who looks like the picture). When Vlad looked over at her she turned her head in a huff.
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
The coyote ran along the roads, heading towards the warehouse.
*LATER...*
Finally, the warehouse was in sight.
"Now, are you right or left handed, dear?" May asked, not noticing the glare.
Cassy noticed the glaring, and chose to keep an eye on her while still hula hooping.
-
(We should wait for Ray again. Also you forgot about May.)
-
(Okay... Also, I didn't. I posted for her.)
-
(I know and I responded. Rose is holding the hula hoop as instructed and waiting.)
-
The coyote ran along the roads, heading towards the warehouse.
*LATER...*
Finally, the warehouse was in sight.
"Now, are you right or left handed, dear?" May asked, not noticing the glare.
Cassy noticed the glaring, and chose to keep an eye on her while still hula hooping.
(This may have been hard to notice before due to the weird spacing.)
-
Valentine motioned up ahead, and shouted over the motorcycle's engine. "Is that the place!?"
-
"Yeah...home sweet home." Clove said as she slowed down to halt in front of the building.
"Uh...I am ambidextrous, but i guess right?" Rose said. She never really favored one side or the other and has used all four of her arms equally.
-
Valentine dismounted when the motorcycle stopped. She pulled the jacket closer to her body, and shuddered.
-
May nodded and smiled. "Now, to do this properly, you're going to want to spin the hoop towards your left side and let go of it, then start moving your waist in a circular motion in accordance with the hoop," she said, demonstrating the actions and starting to hula hoop again with her hands in the air. "If it starts to fall, just spin it back up your body to your waist, like so..." The cat spun the hoop, which had descended towards her thighs, back up around her waist.
Cassy's hoop was level with her belly button.
A few of the other students had gotten tired, but many were still doing it.
About ten feet away from the warehouse, the coyote quickly ducked inside a convenient open shipping container and, moments later, Zanthe walked out, readjusting her undergarments. "Well, looks like these went with me this time," she said. "You have no idea how many sets of underwear I've lost because they weren't properly attuned to my body..."
-
"That's...more information than I needed." Clovers said. Kammy flapped her way over and proofed back to anthro.
"So now that we're somewhere private, Clover you want to drop your disguise?" Kammy asked. Clover crossed her arms and looked a little peeved, but she nodded.
"Fine..." Clover dropped the illusion revealing her dirty grey fur, snarled teeth and finger nails, black shiny eyes, hunch back and pixie wings.
Rose copied May and was starting to the hula hooping correctly.
"Is this right?"
Vlad was doing just fine as he loved the exercise, he just wished he was dressed differently.
The peacock lady was actually keeping up with Cassy, if not doing better.
-

Vlad was doing just fine as he loved the exercise, he just wished he was dressed differently.
The peacock lady was actually keeping up with Cassy, if not doing better.
May smiled widely. "Yes, that's perfect!" she said, continuing to hula hoop. "Try to do that for as long as you can, alright?"
Cassy noticed this, but continued to hula hoop, not being the competitive sort. I clearly have a bit more work to do... It could be the navel ring that's throwing me off too, though... Keeping her movements up, the crat glanced down at herself. While she couldn't get a clear view, she could still feel the fake piercing nestled firmly into her belly button. It was a rather unusual feeling. ...I'm sure glad I didn't get it pierced for real. Well, once I'm comfortable being here, I'll take it out... I think it's messing with my chakra flow. Cassy carefully began hula hooping a little more skillfully, glancing over at the peacock to get a better look at her.
Zanthe raised her eyebrows almost unnoticeably. "I thought something smelled a bit off about you," she said, putting her clothes back on and tucking her pistol into her waistband.
(Hula hooping is more complicated than you'd think, huh? @.@ [size=78%])[/size]
-
(Cifero...what is it with you and belly buttons. You seem to reference that a lot.)
"Whatever, let just get inside." Clover huffed and went to the door of the warehouse starting to fiddle with several different locks. Kammy leaned into Zanthe ear.
"Remeber no comments on her appearance, she really hates that." She whispered.
"Just because my back is turned doesn't mean i can't hear you!" Clover said.
"...and she will almost always hear it." Kammy said.
The peacock lady gave sharp glare at cassy as she noticed her glancing at her.
-
(You know.... I don't really know. :? I guess that a lot of my characters seem to focus on core magic, which is sort of around that area. But seriously? I don't know. Maybe subconsciously I think that word is funny or something. But in all seriousness, I really have no clue. At least I'm not talking about nipples or something weird like that.)
Zanthe shrugged. "I meant that I smelled a form of magic, but I understand," she said.
Cassy blinked and cocked her head, still hula hooping. Seeing as the woman was glaring at her, she took a good look at her face.
-
Her face was beautiful like a lot of peacocks, but she also had that aura of "I am better than you" all around her. The longer you looked at her, the more annoyed seemed to get.
(It's still slightly odd, but i guess there are weirder things to focus on. :/. Waiting on Ray again by the way.)
-
Cassy decided to stop looking, but maintained her hula hooping. I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about her...
(Yes. Yes we are. :/ )
-
Rose kept hula hooping but was getting tired, she rarely exercised.
-
May, seeing that most everyone was getting tired, clapped her hands. "Alright... I believe that's enough for now," she said, letting her hula hoop slowly descend to the floor.
-
Rose let the hula hoop drop which just sort of rested on worm lower half.
Vlad let his drop as well having worked up a good sweat and so did the peacock lady.
-
Cassy let hers drop as well, wiping her brow and stretching out her wings a bit.
Surprisingly, May had kept her cool, mostly. The cat returned to the front of the class. "Now that you've all had some time with the hoops, I want you to think about the muscles involved," she said, swishing her tail. "Did you notice how important your hips were in keeping the hoop up?"
-
((I apologize, friends. Third shift sleeping schedules...))
Valentine looked between the two, confused. She was slightly taken aback, and didn't know how to respond.
Through the middle of the city strolled an amazing specimen of a male raccoon. He stood around six and a half feet tall, and looked like a chiseled statue. This was Ronnie Duvaal, a good friend to Ray and a few of the crime-bosses that trounced about. Ronnie, however, wasn't into crime, moreso body-building and male modeling. As Ronnie walked the streets, women seemed to turn from what they were doing, and watched the purple raccoon walk. Single or otherwise, they couldn't look away.
-
Rose had noticed that but it was really hard to do with her body. All this exercise made her feel fat.
Clover finally got the last lock open and opened the door.
"Come on in." She said walking inside. The inside was dark at first until Clover flipped a switch, than the whole place lit up. The sound of multiple heaters could be heard and the looked rather homely as there was furniture, a bed and whole bunch of stuff that you wouldn't expect a homeless person to have.
-
Zanthe looked around with her eyes. "You keep a nice home," she said.
The other students watched as May explained some things.
"Now, before we part ways for the evening," May said. "I have prepared something to show you all."
-
"Most of this stuff I took from the Steel factory. They left a lot of stuff behind and I am currently using a few generators I found over there as well. I was awful lucky." Clover said setting up her xbox.
"Luck is your power isn't it?" Kammy commented.
Rose and Vlad watched and waited with eagerness.
-

Rose and Vlad watched and waited with eagerness.
Zanthe carefully stood with Valentine.
"It is often tradition, in my practice, to allow new dancers to see what they will one day be able to accomplish through hard work and perseverance," May said, carefully putting her hoop away and pulling out a ghetto blaster and a veil. "In keeping with that practice, if you do not mind... I will now dance for you."
Cassy watched May set up, fluttering her wings a little.
-
Valentine stepped inside the warehouse, cautiously. She realized on the motorcycle that she had blindly trusted these new players. Valentine took a seat on the floor, and pulled the jacket closer around her.
-
(I am off to bed, it's getting late where i am.)
-
(Same... after comforting Valentine.)
Zanthe, seeing that Valentine was uncomfortable, gently knelt down beside her and gave her a hug. "It's okay... It'll all be okay," she murmured, stroking Valentine's head gently.
-
Rose got excited and Vlad even more so...the little pervert.
-
The entire class sat down.
Picking up a long veil, May turned the portable music player on and took a position with her back to the class. Music started to play, an exotic rhythm that sounded to be from the Mediterranean area. Slowly, the cat began to gesticulate, lifting her hips one at a time with the veil behind her. As the music picked up a bit, the white-furred feline began to twist and shimmy around, taking steps to the left and steps to the right, turning to face the class and then turning away and so on and so forth. About halfway through the song, May tossed the veil away and danced with extreme passion and grace, her abdomen seeming fluid as she danced about.
Cassy, who was seated in the front row, watched with her mouth agape. Wow... She's amazing. It's almost like she's an entirely different person...
-
Rose was watching in awe and so was Vlad.
The peacock lady seemed to be studying every move the teacher made, as if looking for flaws or weaknesses but was having trouble finding any.
-
Cassy didn't notice this; she was too busy watching May dance.
After a few minutes of dancing, May ended with a flourish and bowed at the waist. The entire class applauded, Cassy included.
Straightening up, May smiled at the class. "Now, next week, we'll be starting with some shoulder exercises, but I fully encourage you to look up some examples of belly dancing online," she said. "Pick some famous ones, such as Samia Gamal, or you could even look at Shakira for an example..." The cat continued to speak for a bit; she was definitely persperating from the performance she had just put on.
-
Rose listen carefully as she got the informative sheets they had to together.
The peacock whispered in the ears of a Blue Jay and Crow and was gesturing to Rose.
-
Zaida leaving her house a few hours earlier, Drove to Ascension. the Vexū doing nothing more than a stroll, perhaps something to eat...
Devin eyes squinted as the sun's beam fell through the broken window in the old factory he's been camping in. having his hand up to block the light from his eyes, unable to speak but he didn't mind as he was mute for most of his life.
(Fixed Zaida's sheet a little, and added Devin. Read them if you need to and ask questions)
-
Rose listen carefully as she got the informative sheets they had to together.
The peacock whispered in the ears of a Blue Jay and Crow and was gesturing to Rose.
"Now, if you go out into the other room and look behind the racks, there's a locker room you can all change in," May said, smiling gently. "If this makes anyone uncomfortable, please let me know. You have each been provided with a locker; hang up your costume there and get it from there every class. I will wash them, don't worry. Again, keep practicing moving your hips around! If there is anyone who I haven't received an e-mail and phone number from, please come see me before you change." The cat smiled widely. "Happy holidays, everyone!"
Cassy noticed the peacock whispering as she listened to May, her hands fingering her knife hilt, which was on her leg for the lesson. What is she up to...?
Zanthe, who had been preoccupied, realized that she had never learned the identity of the person who had shot her. Either time.
-
Rose went to the locker room and Vlad was going to follow when Rose clacked her mandibles angrily.
"No you can't see all the girls change. Now go see May." She said and Vlad looked visibly disappointed and went to May.
"Is there anywhere I can changed in?" He asked.
Rose continued to the changing room and the avian girls were not far behind her.
-
"The boy's locker room is right over there," Cassy said, quickly pointing to the room that the male students were going into before grabbing her bag and heading into the locker room, which was very, very clean.
(... Sorry, my OCD went a bit wild.)
-
In the girls locker room, Rose had just gotten out of her outfit when the peacock pushed her into her locker.
"Ow what was that for!" Rose complained, but the peacock held her against the locker.
"Shut up and listen, you fat worm. Your just taking up valuable time the teacher could be using to teach us." The peacock said.
"No I am..." Rose was cut off as she got her head slammed again, her exoskeleton cracking a little.
"What did I say? You don't belong here, you belong on the street wiggling your fat butt." The peacock started to press harder on rose while the other two avians watched.

"What did I say? You don't belong here, you belong on the street wiggling your fat butt." The peacock started to press harder on rose while the other two avians watched.
Cassy, who had just gotten her top off, heard the noises and quickly went to investigate, leaving top in the top part of her locker and clad in nothing but her underwear. She put her bra on as she hid behind a locker to listen, getting more than a little angry but trying to control herself. Those absolute bitches!
-
Rose had started to hiss I'm pain as her the crack on her head was slowly growing and green blood started to leak out.
"Please...stop." Rose pleaded.
"As you wish." The peacock let go of rose and punched her to the ground.
-
Cassy suddenly ran out from behind the corner and tackled the peacock, spreading her wings to cause confusion. "LEAVE HER ALONE!" she screamed, trying to pin the bird.
-
Valentine looked at Zanthe, and smiled, tears in her eyes. "T-Thank you." She leaned into the hug, like a child.
-
Zanthe, her usually emotionless exterior cracking for a moment, smiled back, continuing to comfort Valentine. Her eyes started to get a little wet too as she remembered the last time she did this... she wasn't sure how long ago it was. I hope they're doing okay... The catfox looked down at Valentine gently and carefully wiped the tears from the raccoon's cheeks with a thumb. "Are you hungry, Valentine?"
-
(Sorry me and my family are having early christmas dinner.)
The sounds of guns came from the tv as Clover was playing Halo Combat evolved.
"Foods in the crate over there." She pointed to an open crate that had a whole bunch of canned foods.
Kammy was also getting hungry.
"Any of you ok with me feeding off you?"
The peacock was caught completely off guard and was easily pinned.
"You've made a big mistake attacking me!" The peacock eyes were literally on fire as it turns out she is a fire Kinetisis.
-

(... She's Pyrokinetic?! o-o)
"What's going on here?!" May suddenly appeared out of nowhere, still in her dancing uniform. As she noticed Rose, she covered her mouth. "Wh...!" Running over, the cat pulled Cassy off of the peacock, then placed the crat behind her as she checked on Rose's condition.
Cassy still looked enraged, but backed off when May pulled her off and looked over at Rose.
Zanthe blinked, her expression reverting to normal. "... Oh, right. You're a vampire," she said. "How would you be feeding off of a person, exactly? I'd be fine with it, but I'd like to know if it's safe, first."
-
(Yeah because if she was normal she would get her butt handed to her by you and Vlad. Plus fire suits her perfectly. :))
"I...I am alright." Her head was starting to get pretty bloody. Vlad was dressed already and had smelled Rose's blood.
"Princess Rose!" He rushed in and rested a hand on May.
"I am her bodyguard, I will handle this." He said as he was using his second set of arms to dial 911 into his phone.
The peacock got up and had a ball of fire in her hand still wanting to fight.
"I won't turn you into a vampire as I don't carry the disease. I can only turn someone if I suck them dry, but I promise I won't do that. In fact if you let me hypnotize you, it won't hurt at all." Kammy explained.
-
Cassy glared at the peacock. "... Jerk," she muttered, walking away to put her clothes on. I'm not fighting her yet. Especially in my underwear.
May, surprisingly, was unaware of why the peacock was mad. "Calm down, Ruby," she said. "We'll find whoever did this... Though really, I thought you were straight."
Zanthe nodded slowly. "... I'm afraid you'll just have to feed," she said. "Try to hypnotize me, and you'll understand... but could we please get Valentine squared away first?"
-
Valentine nodded. "I-I haven't eaten normal food in weeks." She looked at Kammy, after she had spoken. "W-Wait, what?"
-
Cassy glared at the peacock. "... Jerk," she muttered, walking away to put her clothes on. I'm not fighting her yet. Especially in my underwear.
May, surprisingly, was unaware of why the peacock was mad. "Calm down, Ruby," she said. "We'll find whoever did this... Though really, I thought you were straight."
Zanthe nodded slowly. "... I'm afraid you'll just have to feed," she said. "Try to hypnotize me, and you'll understand... but could we please get Valentine squared away first?"
Ruby blushed heavily which put out her fire. Not even saying a word she stalked off to get dressed.
The sound of an ambulance could be heard outside as Vlad called the paramedics.
-
May stayed with Rose, trying to comfort her with words. "It'll be alright, dear... just hold on," she said, her face full of empathy.
Cassy, back at her locker, hung her dance top up properly and got her clothes on. Why are people so full of themselves?! she thought, taking the fake piercing out of her belly button and placing it in her bag. Rose deserves to be here just as much as anyone else... and frankly, they seemed to be doing just fine without May's instruction. The crat clenched her fists and pulled her jacket on, sighing helplessly. ... I'll want to be in the ambulance when they take her. She'll need comfort.
Zanthe gently stroked Valentine's head. "It's okay, she won't hurt you," the catfox said. "She's just a bit... unique."
-
The paramedics came in with a fairly large stretcher built to hold Roses weight. With quite a bit of effort they lifted her up and took outside to ambulance. Vlad was followed.
"Your going to be fine Rose." He said.
"Vlad...my head feels like it's on fire." Rose said, she was crying at this point.
Kammy nodded. "Yeah and I only take what I need to survive."
-
(We're going to have to wait for Ray to get Valentine' answer...)
Cassy followed the stretcher out, her bag over her shoulder. "Don't worry, Rose... I'll stay with you," she said, looking at the thrii-kreen princess's eyes.
-
"Thank you..." Rose said taking your hand and squeezing it. A paramedic put mask over Roses face and started to put her under as she was loaded into the back. Vlad jumped in and held a hand out to help you up.
"Thank you for helping her." Vlad said.
-
Zaida leaving her house a few hours earlier, Drove to Ascension. the Vexū doing nothing more than a stroll, perhaps something to eat...
Devin eyes squinted as the sun's beam fell through the broken window in the old factory he's been camping in. having his hand up to block the light from his eyes, unable to speak but he didn't mind as he was mute for most of his life.
(Fixed Zaida's sheet a little, and added Devin. Read them if you need to and ask questions)
*Red was prepaing some food in his cheap apartment, some sun beams hitting his futon and TV*
-
"Thank you..." Rose said taking your hand and squeezing it. A paramedic put mask over Roses face and started to put her under as she was loaded into the back. Vlad jumped in and held a hand out to help you up.
"Thank you for helping her." Vlad said.
Cassy hopped in, nodding to Vlad. "That's what friends do," she said. "Besides... no one deserves to be subjected to something like that." The crat remembered the fire in Ruby's eyes. She must be skilled... I'll have to find someone to help me increase my magical capabilities.
-
"Later you will have to tell me who did this. So I can kill them myself." Vlad clenching his fists.
(Cif just so you know, Vlad is a master Spellsword. Which means he uses both magic and sword fighting to fight his enemies. He just hasn't been able to show off yet.)
-

(Cif just so you know, Vlad is a master Spellsword. Which means he uses both magic and sword fighting to fight his enemies. He just has been able to show off yet.)
Cassy looked around, then whispered to Vlad. "You don't really want to say that sort of thing out loud," she said quietly. "We'll talk later. Though it's going to be tough... I'm pretty sure they have magic that's a lot more powerful than what I've got up my sleeves right now."
-
"You underestimate my magic...but yes we will talk later." Vlad said.
-
"You underestimate my magic...but yes we will talk later." Vlad said.
Cassy nodded and went back to holding Rose's hand as the ambulance made its way to the hospital.
-
They got to the hospital quickly and the doctors took over from there. The doctors took rose into an operating room and Vlad and Cassy were lead into a guest room.
"Alright now that we're alone...tell me everything." Vlad said sitting and at a table.
-
Cassy clasped her hands together and looked up at Vlad. "After practice, I thought I heard some noises, so I went to check on Rose," she said. "Remember that peacock?"
-
"Yes...wait a minute, she did this?!" Vlad said
-
"Yes...wait a minute, she did this?!" Vlad said
Cassy, who had moved her hands to her knees, visibly dug her fingers into the flesh of her legs and nodded. "She insulted her," the crat said. "She and her cronies were mad because May took the time to teach her how to hula hoop, even though they're at the top of the class. Then..." She clenched her teeth, trying to stay calm. "... she told that she belonged on the street wiggling her fat butt. While she was doing this, she kept slamming Rose's head against her locker, and then, when Rose told her to stop, she just..." The crat mimicked Ruby punching Rose to the ground. "I would've stopped her, but... I was frozen with shock up until that point. Seeing her do that to Rose, though... It broke me out of my stupor. Remember when May pulled me off of her, thinking that we were doing naughty stuff? I was just pinning her to the ground... but then her eyes started flaming." Cassy rubbed her arm and sighed. "I would've been toast if you and May hadn't shown up. I know some magic, but... no blocking spells. And I can only use my serious offensive magic for ten minutes until I start getting physical side effects."
-
"...I will teach you than...and than we will put an end to her." Vlad pulled a book off his belt and showed it to her.
"This is my book of spells, it's not as big or impressive as a wizards but it still has stuff that might be of use to you."
-
Zaida got a few stares after buying a coffee at some café. as she wasn't really seen in Ascension much. A stranger to every anthro it seemed.
Devin walked outside onto a black street bike, Before driving off towards the warehouse not too far away. Only a few blocks as he thought he saw her with others he needed her alone...
-
Cassy nodded gently. "... Do you think you could train me?" she asked. "My master disappeared a couple years ago, but I'm still an able student. Besides, in the state I'm in right now, I'm more likely to get another hernia before Rose is avenged." The crat winced at the memory, her fingers rubbing a spot below her navel.
-
Kammy was feeding on Zanthe, taking only a few quarts of blood.
"Alright all done, thank you." Kammy said.
-
Zanthe relaxed, feeling a little fatigued from Kammy's feeding. "That surprisingly didn't hurt all that much," she said, touching Kammy's toothmarks. "Perhaps we could..." The catfox's ears suddenly flicked up. "...Valentine, I need you to stay with Kammy for a bit," she said, gently removing herself from the girl's grasp. Her facial expression looked serious.
Cassy looked at Vlad. "... Will you train me? Please?"
-
"Yes...I will." Vlad held out his hand to shake on the agreement.
-
Devin was just outside the warehouse as he had set a metal bar next to a dumpster giving the appearance of the metal object falling over. The German Shepard, Saber mix then walked off. To keep himself hidden from whoever would walked outside most likely his target.
-
Cassy gently clasped Vlad's hand with her own, giving it a firm shake. "We can't just kill her, though... That's semi-illegal," she said.
Zanthe looked back at Kammy. "If I'm not back in four hours, go to this address," she said, pulling a piece of paper out of her pocket and handing it to Kammy. "I'll meet you there as soon as I can, and we can come back here. Do not follow me out... For your own safety." Turning to Valentine, she gave the raccoon one last hug and kissed her forehead. "I will return... I promise," she said before walking out of the warehouse. The night was windy, and Zanthe, having a bit less blood than usual, was having trouble with her senses. However, as she took a few steps away from the warehouse, she couldn't help but get a feeling that someone was watching her. As she passed the dumpster, she noticed the metal bar and nearly passed it by. However, she stopped short as realization hit home. They're already here...
-
The Shebard (shay-bard) watched Zanthe exit, waiting... But just enough to see if anyone else would follow her. As no one did he then began to slowly approach the cat fox. Seeing her stop, it was now obvious to him she knew something was wrong. His hand reaching the blade before he quickly but carefully stood up behind her cupping over her snout and drove it into her abdomen quickly to where he knew, or at least thought, it could take her out for good.
(Sorry for delay)

As she passed the dumpster, she noticed the metal bar and nearly passed it by. However, she stopped short as realization hit home. They're already here...
"Alright i will just beat her until she begs for mercy." Vlad said.
Kammy sat and waited, watching lover's game.
-

(Sorry for delay)
Zanthe widened her eyes, her body tensing hugely as the knife pierced her stomach. Seconds later, the catfox went limp, seemingly dead as blood trickled from the wound.
-
Devin looked over no sight of anyone. Quickly taking the knife out and putting it back on the small holster. Quickly getting on the bike he easily say her on the back to look like a passenger. Wearing his helmet, her paws tied to look as if they were around his chest, and legs on the side so she wouldn't fall off. He quickly but carefully drove off until arriving to her house parking in the garage. He walked inside setting the body on the couch. He stared down at her giving a huff from his nose before walking to the restroom to wash his gloves and knife before setting the crime scene up. (Again sorry for delay I was eating a sandwich... :T )

As Devin washed up, Zanthe's eyes slowly opened, her chest beginning to rise and fall. The catfox tensed a little as the pain from her wound set in, but managed to get a good look at it. It looks like he just missed my spinal cord, she thought, resisting the urge to touch the wound as she went back to her position on the couch. Whoever they are, though.. they must think that I'm dead. Zanthe relaxed her body with some effort and closed her eyes again. Let's allow them to think that... for now.
Cassy smiled grimly. "Vlad, that's not very chivalrous of you," she said. "Boys aren't really supposed to hit girls... so teach me to do it, and I'll kick her ass for you, okay?"
-
"...I am not a knight, but alright. Let's start with a shield spell." Vlad said.
(Should Kammy try to follow you. She as would smell the blood.)
-
Valentine was worried, and confused. She scooted slightly away from Kammy, and hoped Zanthe would return soon.
-
He got some blood of his paws and gloves as well as the knife. Setting a duffle bag on the floor as it showed he's been here before. He huffed walking over looking at the body lifting her shirt slightly to study the wound.
-
(... I suppose she could smell it. After a while. But... er... the scent would have to find its way to her.)
While Devin's eyes were focused on her wound, Zanthe's eyes were secretly focused on Devin. So... that's what you look like.

-
Zaida down the street in a old bus bench had watched everything unfold. The shaberd stabbing the cat fox. She then waited sipping her coffee patiently.
He pull her shirt back down standing back up and walked back to the table. The hybrid thinking what he could pull off. Sitting down at the table with a small note pad he held a pen writing down some ideas leaving the cat fox on the couch.
-
Zanthe, having recovered some strength, remembered the safety protocol she had installed in this fake house... one of several she had in the city. It's a good thing I moved everything that I really own to my next house preemptively, she thought, still fighting the urge to press one hand to her wound. His back's turned... now's my chance.
(I have a plan, guys. o-o)

-
(To me a vampire could easily smell the blood, especially when you got stabbed just outside. Plus Kammy has already tasted your blood, which would probably make it even easier to track you.)
"...I smell blood...Zanthe's blood." Kammy said and got up.
"Valentine stay here with Clover, I think there could be trouble." Kammy exits the warehouse and sees a small splatter of blood on the ground. She kneels down and dips her finger in it to have a taste.
"Yep that's Zanthe...*sigh* she's going to get herself killed isn't she." Kammy stood back up and sniffed the air, getting an idea of where they went.
-
(... Okay, but she can't show up until after Zanthe is really, truly unconscious. Okay?)
Zanthe waited patiently until there was a convenient loud noise as well.
-
(Alright that fine.)
-
Devin huffed the diamond shaped chip on his neck giving a quick small buzz ringing like noise. Setting the pen down he went to the restroom to check what was wrong with it now. Before starting to make zanthe's 'death' look like a incident.

As soon as Devin was out of the room, Zanthe got up, grabbed Devin's bag, and ran outside and down the street to the nearby building project, holding a small remote in her other hand.
-
Getting annoyed he tapped the chip to make it stopped flickering and making noise. He gruffed walking back. Devin then paused seeing his bag gone, his stomach twisted, He ran to the couch see the anthro gone. Looking around the house he then ran out the door swinging it open to run outside looking around before looking at Zanthe across the street with his bag and object in her hand.
-
As she passed through the gate, Zanthe stopped and looked back, coming eye-to-eye with her attacker. Is he still armed...?
"A shield spell, huh?" Cassy asked.
-
The shaberd looked back with his blood red eyes, he didn't hesitate before he began to quickly run after Zanthe. His knife left in the restroom of her house along with its holster.
-

Zanthe quickly ran into the construction site and pressed the first button on the remote. The side walk in front of the complex suddenly burst into flame as tiny fuses ignited, creating a temporary wall of fire.... just enough time for her to take the lift up one floor.
-
"Yes you said you don't know any protection magic, so it's a good one to start with. The spell will create an instant barrier to protect you from almost any attack." Vlad said.
-
He slid to a stop looking at the fire and looked up as she ran. Devin jogged back before sprinting forward and jumping through the fire, seeing she was ahead one floor. The Shebard continued up as fast as he could.

Zanthe ran onto the second floor, wincing as more blood started to leak from her wound, staining her shirt red and starting to wash off the fur dye underneath. She pressed another button, which created a sudden flash bang attack on the first floor.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to either of them, far beneath Zanthe's fake house, a faulty gas line was plotting to finally reveal itself...
Cassy nodded. "... Okay," she said, taking off her jacket. "We'll be learning right here, then?"
-
Devin fell to his knees but quickly got up. The loud ringing in his ear made him flinch and cringe as he looked around, everything around him bright. He stood still panting and waiting, he then opened his eyes ignoring the ring. The Shebard continuing after her, not giving up anytime soon.

The catfox continued to climb, her breathing becoming more and more labored from the blood loss. There was a crane that could be jumped to from the top of the building; she could use it to escape. Glancing down, she saw Devin pursuing her and continued on to the next floor, ready to press another button on the remote.
-
He sometimes glanced over at the catfox as he chased, spotting the remote in her paws. Devin panted the ringing still in his ear and his eyesight still a little fuzzy as he pushed forward, continuing up.
-
There were numerous pieces of debris on the next level Devin was on, easily throwable ones. Zanthe pressed another button and holograms of ghosts filled the area. She kept continuing up, but it would be easy for someone or something to knock the remote from her hand since she was too busy trying to escape.
-
Devin stopped for a split second confused before realizing it was another trick. He wasn't affected by the holograms much, running past or through them quickly and grabbing a brick. The Shebard looked up carefully taking his aim towards her hands as she ran and threw the brick.
-
Zanthe was about to press another button when the brick struck her hand. Shocked and injured, the catfox dropped the remote, but didn't stop to see how bad the damage was. She just kept running up, knowing that to slow down was probably to die. The remote reached Devin's level. (I've been messaging you. Also, should Devin catch up to Zanthe?)
-
(Was planning to) Devin grabbed the remote pressing the button to the floor she was on having smoke spray about to confused any anthro's up there. He then tossed the remote down smashing it under his boot. The Shebard quickly climbed.
-
Zanthe quickly covered her mouth and nose with her shirt and screwed her eyes shut, trying to feel her way to the next area. Darn it... where are the stairs...? she thought, carefully switching the bag to her left arm as she felt near her waistband for her pistol.
-
As he arrived at the floor he looked about scanning his eyes for the catfox the smoke giving a bit of trouble, luckily it began to fade. He huffed until seeing her figure down and started his way towards her.
-
Zanthe, hearing Devin's footsteps behind her, quickly took off towards the next flight of stairs shortly after discovering that her pistol was missing. Of course he took it, she thought to herself, carefully unzipping the bag and reaching inside it as she ran in an attempt to find some sort of weapon.
-
Devin gruffed with a slight snarl, watching her run up the stairs. The Shebard then began to walk up hearing his bag unzip, making him grow more cautious.
-
After a bit of searching, Zanthe managed to recover her pistol. However, at the same time, she could feel her body becoming more and more tired. I won't be able to outrun him, she thought, hiding behind something for a moment to take a better look at her wound. He may have missed killing me, but he still stuck me good... I'm pretty sure there's an exit wound in my back, as well. Looking around, Zanthe quickly shot out the lights, then used a claw to cut off the bottom half of her shirt. Working quickly, she used the blood-saturated fabric to staunch and somewhat bandage the wound. Well... If I'm going down, I'm going down good.
-
As he was walking up he saw the lights go out. Noe on the top floor he looked around, squinting in the dark room as his eyes were quickly adjusting to the dark. He looked around keeping himself low and quiet, going behind objects as he wanted to avoid any attacks, while searching for Zanthe.
-
Zanthe, still in possession of Devin's bag, heard him coming and readied her gun, then quickly and quietly crept behind a different pillar.
-
He heard a few noises sometimes snapping his head back and forth, while trying to spot the catfox in the dark room. Beginning to grow closer to her.

Zanthe slowly edged her way closer to the crane, her eyes adjusting to the dark. Devin was getting close; she would have to strike soon.
-
He began to search recklessly, knocking items over. The Shebard giving a snarl with aggravation, panting with a bit of exhaustion.
-
Suddenly, Zanthe leapt on Devin's back from behind, whacking him between the shoulders with the butt of the pistol and leaping over him, pointing the gun at him as she got between him and the lift. "I do not wish to harm you," she said, disguising her voice. "Do not follow me." With that, she feinted a dash for the lift, planning to run back around and use the crane to escape.
-
Devin barked with pain as the butt of the pistol hit against his head. Growing angry, he snarled as he heard her warning before she ran. Looking to the catfox run, he saw her movements. He began to pretend to run after Zanthe hoping to get her at the right moment.
-
Zanthe, too tired to see Devin's trick, went through with her plan, trying to weave back to the crane.
-
Devin studied this, seeing she had knew, before he had hurried about the floor. Between Zanthe and the crane. The Shebard snarled, giving a hard hit to her wound
-
The catfox grunted in pain as Devin's fist slammed into her abdomen, knocking her onto her back and causing her to drop her pistol. Sitting up, Zanthe could only watch as Devin started to close in on her.
Just then, Zanthe's fake house exploded.
-
The explosion shook the complex slightly, startling him a bit. Devin then tripped over the fallen pistol, stumbling, he tried to balance himself before falling two stories. The Shebard trying to catch himself in mid air. he hit the side of his ribs, breaking two. His head slammed against a pole, Until he landed beside a pillar. Laying there... His ears rang, as everything moved around him, pain all over mostly his chest and left arm. everything went black and his body limp, he quickly went unconscious...

His ears rang, as everything moved around him, pain all over mostly his chest and left arm. everything went black and his body limp, he quickly went unconscious...
Breathing heavily, Zanthe slowly gained her feet, feeling a bit woozy as more blood flowed from her abdomen. Her pistol was gone; it had fallen off the edge with Devin. Picking the bag up, the catfox made her way down to the main floor as quickly as she could, then slowly approached Devin's prone form, scooping up her fallen pistol as she did so.
-
Devin laid there still his body limp... The Shebard breathing heavily. His clothes dirtied, tank top a bit torn on the side. A cut on the side of his chest and a large bruise beginning to form where his ribs were hit, on his head had a bruise as well... along with cut on his eyebrow having blood drizzle down.
-
Zanthe looked around and spied a knife in a sheath nearby, slightly singed. That must be his, she thought, touching her abdomen lightly. I suppose I'd best leave now... Sighing, the catfox turned to leave. However, after taking a few steps, she stopped and looked back at Devin, lowering her ears. ...I can't leave him to die, she thought, running back and setting his bag down before rummaging through it, praying that she'd find a first-aid kit.
-
The Shebard moved his head a bit his face showing pain as he huffed while he was still unconscious. As she dug In devin's black duffle bag it held a good amount of items. Such as some clothes, a few weapons, and more. Eventually digging through his stuff there was a medium health kit.

Zanthe opened the first aid kit and looked over the things within. There... there should be enough, she thought with some difficulty, quickly getting Devin's ruined shirt off so that she could treat his wounds. Being very careful, the catfox set Devin's ribs and stitched up the cut on his chest, then checked out the injury on his head after she bandaged his chest properly.
-
Zaida down by the warehouse outside, but not close enough to be seen nor sensed, as she was quiet and stealthy. She watch a few anthro's exit the building. She raised a brow her tail swaying up and down, hidden in the dark.
When the cat fox was working on his ribs he winced a bit with pain, until she was finally done. His other injury was a bruise on his head with a few scratches as well as a cut over his eyebrow having little blood drip down the side of his face staining some of his brown fur.
-
Valentine had fallen asleep, and slept more soundly than she had before.

Being very gentle, Zanthe dabbed away the blood with the ruined shirt and patched up the cut, then started to rub some soothing pain-relief cream into his bruise. However, as she did so, she felt herself slowly losing consciousness until she finally passed out on top of Devin, her fingers still on his bruise.
-
*Red walked out of his apartment,the weather was rainy and bleak as he huffed out steam, the sidewalks were somewhat empty as it was early morning*
-
~Wonder what happened to the two...~ Zaida thought leaving the warehouse area. The Vexū disappeared in the dark, appearing a few blocks down dripping some black blood from her nose, her tongue escaping her mouth and licking the blood off before her arm wiped the rest away.
Devin woke up and huffed tiredly before looking at the catfox laying down unconscious. Grabbing her scruff her before stopping to see his wound patched up and Zanthe holding the health kit. He looked at her confused beginning to feel a bit awful making it hard to do his job.
-
In her unconscious state, Zanthe seemed absolutely harmless. Even before, when she had been pointing a gun at Devin, she really didn't seem like she wanted to hurt him. Her breath came slowly; she was badly hurt still, and while she wouldn't die unless forced over the edge, she was nearing there. There was just something about her that seemed... decent. Furthermore, if she was as bad as Devin had been told she was... why was he still breathing?
Devin's knife lay nearby.
-
Zaida spotting the ragnos walking alone. The Vexū began to stalk the dragon, however kept her distance to avoid being caught.
Devin grunted as he got up looking at his knife his eyes darting to the catfox. He huffed growing confused, his head still in pain from the fall. The Shebard sighed and finally walked over and picking his duffle bag, knife then Zanthe. He walked to the crane going down trying to keep himself up. Eventually starting towards the old factory he was staying at. He sat her down on the mattress on the floor and his duffle bag. He leaned down and started to examine her wounds carefully.

(Her gun's in her waistband, then.)
Besides a few places where her fur was a little singed by debris from her own exploding home, most of Zanthe's injuries had been inflicted by Devin. Her hand was hurt where the brick had hit it, and she had a few scrapes on her arms; however, the catfox's abdomen was heavily damaged, with a bullet wound near her solar plexus and a stab wound a few inches below her navel. Devin had caused both of those wounds. However, surprisingly enough, the bullet wound was farther along than it should've been. What's more, the fur on her belly seemed to contrast the color of her fur a little now.
-
*Red kept walking, eventually meeting some shady furrs in a alley*
-
(Hey sorry I disappeared...again. I got into an argument with my parents which ended with me getting in trouble. T_T
Anything happen that I should know about.)
-
Nope
-
(SANS, STOP TRYING TO CONFUSE THE HUMAN!)
(Zanthe's house blew up, Devin took unconscious Zanthe back to his place and he's trying to patch her up, and Cassy and Vlad are still in the waiting room.)
Zanthe bled profusely.
Cassy cocked an eyebrow. "So... am I going to learn the magic right here in the waiting room?"
-
He sighed grabbing a few materials from the kit, First casting tape which he wrapped partially on her arm, wrist and hand. Looking over to the abdomen damage. The Shebard put rubber gloves on as he didn't want to give some kind of an affection nor make a mess...he began to work rubbing alcohol around the area cleaning off some blood, along with injecting beard the wound. with a scalpel, 3/8 circle surgical needle, and thread beginning to work carefully. Before long he stopped finishing up by stitching up the abdomen wound, taking off his stained rubber gloves and materials set on a piece of cloth soon to be cleaned.

The Shebard put rubber gloves on as he didn't want to give some kind of an affection nor make a mess...he began to work rubbing alcohol around the area cleaning off some blood, along with injecting beard the wound. with a scalpel, 3/8 circle surgical needle, and thread beginning to work carefully. Before long he stopped finishing up by stitching up the abdomen wound, taking off his stained rubber gloves and materials set on a piece of cloth soon to be cleaned.
As Devin worked, Zanthe slowly began to breath a little more easily, remaining unconscious throughout the whole procedure. As Devin cleaned off her stomach, though, it became clear that her fur was actually a stark shade of white. When everything was done, the catfox's breathing was soft and easy, and if it weren't for the stitches in her abdomen, one would have thought her to be merely asleep.
-
(SANS, STOP TRYING TO CONFUSE THE HUMAN!)
(Zanthe's house blew up, Devin took unconscious Zanthe back to his place and he's trying to patch her up, and Cassy and Vlad are still in the waiting room.)
Zanthe bled profusely.
Cassy cocked an eyebrow. "So... am I going to learn the magic right here in the waiting room?"
"...I guess this isn't the best place to practice magic." Vlad said as he saw a bunch of stuff that could get in the way. There was a knock at the door and a nurse's voice could be heard.
"May I come in?"
-
Cassy glanced at Vlad, then looked at the door. "Please do," she said, hoping for the best.
-
He looked at the pad of alcohol seeing the color had came off showing her original fur color with a bit of blood. Devin wasn't surprised as it seemed this was to hide her identity. He however let the dye stay knowing she'd probably feel safer. Devin listen to her heart before putting the blanket over her and walking over to the restroom to wash the materials.
-
The nurse came in and with a clip board.
"I just wanted to let you know your friend Rose is going to be fine. She receiver only a minor conclusion and the crack in her head will just need seed some stiches. She is extremely lucky though as her injuries could have been a lot worse."
-

After a few minutes, Zanthe started to stir a little bit, wincing as the pain set in. *Wh... Where am I?* she thought, looking around from where she lay.
Cassy sighed in relief. "Thank you, sir," she said, smiling at the man.
-
The old factory was silent, walls old and beaten up. Leaving the catfox alone in the room just laying on the bed which was fairly comfortable. Devin had the sink lightly on, rinsing the tools under it then washing his hands.

Zanthe tried to move, but was immediately greeted with pain as soon as she tried to get up. Unable to help herself, she let out a small, pained noise.
-
His ears flicked as he turned off the sink leaving the surgical tools wrapped in a towel on the sink. He walked over seeing the catfox was awake the Shebard slowly made his way over.
-
(Where are you guys exactly, I forgot Kammy was tracking you two.)
-
Zanthe regarded Devin tentatively. "... It's, er... good to see you're alright," she said, unsure of what else to say. (In Devin's warehouse.)
-
He didn't answer the chip wasn't working properly, he gave a simple nod his face expressionless. He walked past the cat fox to the small desk writing before he held a paper with large but neat writing so she could read. 'Yes I'm fine, thank you. how are you?'
-
He didn't answer the chip wasn't working properly, he gave a simple nod his face expressionless. He walked past the cat fox to the small desk writing before he held a paper with large but neat writing so she could read. 'Yes I'm fine, thank you. how are you?'
Zanthe looked at the piece of paper, slightly raising one eyebrow as she read it. There must be some reason for him to communicate like this... "I'm mostly fine," the catfox said, looking at her bandaged hand. "However, my stomach hurts whenever I try to get up..."
-
He looks at her stomach and sighed lightly. Grabbing the notebook off the the desk, Devin began to write down. He walked towards her now a few feet away. His writing in regular size. 'It's because I just finished patching you up, I suggest you relax'
-
Zanthe blinked and looked under the blanket. "Oh... Thank you," she said, letting go of the blanket and lying back. "... You saw my fur then, huh?"
-
'Yes, I did. Was going to wash it off but thought it was better to leave the washing to you..." He huffed awkwardly before writing more. 'As well as I'm sure you want to keep your identity hidden.' he wrote back to the catfox before sitting down beside the bed she laid on.
-
'Yes, I did. Was going to wash it off but thought it was better to leave the washing to you..." He huffed awkwardly before writing more. 'As well as I'm sure you want to keep your identity hidden.' he wrote back to the catfox before sitting down beside the bed she laid on.
Zanthe nodded gently, flushing a bit around her cheeks. "... That was very considerate of you," she said, looking at him. "... Sorry about the traps and all. I just wanted to escape.... though I'm not sure how the house blew up."
-
He nods seeing the catfox flushed. 'No problem' he wrote down. 'And it's fine...I'm pretty sure anyone would do the same if being chased and attacked.'
-
He nods seeing the catfox flushed. 'No problem' he wrote down. 'And it's fine...I'm pretty sure anyone would do the same if being chased and attacked.'
Zanthe nodded once. "... Do you have a name, sir?" she asked.
-
He nods. 'Yes, my name is Devin... Mind me asking yours?' The Shebard wrote back.
-
He nods. 'Yes, my name is Devin... Mind me asking yours?' The Shebard wrote back.
Zanthe cocked her head. "... No one told you yet?" she asked.
-
'Well Zanthe... But once I saw your real fur color, I'm not sure that's your real name. However I could be wrong' he wrote back to the catfox with a raised brow.
-
Zanthe, still weakened from the surgery and the stress on her body lately, did not answer at first. How could he have known? she thought, staring at the warehouse ceiling. "... Let's just say that Zanthe is my name right now by choice," she said, rubbing her arm. "Maybe... much, much later... we will be on a name basis in which knowing each other's true identity would not be a bad thing."
-
He nods writing down 'I understand, perhaps we will...' He held it up long enough so she could read, then sat the notebook down on the floor grunting as he got to his feet. The Shebard walked over to his desk his paw on his side, placed on the bandage. Devin grabbed a bottle and drinking the ice cold water before looking over at Zanthe. He then pointed to the bottle, Gesturing if she wanted one.
-
Zanthe nodded gently, sensing no malevolence from the shebard. "Yes, please," she said, still a little flushed.
-
Devin grabbed the other bottle in the small cooler, walking over. He then sat back down with the notebook, setting the bottle on her bed.
-
Zanthe carefully picked up the bottle and held it for a moment, looking Devin over. She finally noticed the chip in his neck, and decided that now was the time to ask. "... Devin, is it okay if I ask you something?" she asked.
-
He drank more of his water. Devin's eyes looking over to the catfox as she asked. The Shebard broke away from the bottle, swallowing. He sat the water bottle by his side before giving a nod to Zanthe.
-

Zanthe looked up at the ceiling and bit her lip slightly, unsure how to phrase this. "... Why... Why are you using a notepad to speak to me?" she said, looking into his eyes.
-
He grabbed the notebooks and pencil writing down. 'I'm mute, and this thing on my throat allows me to talk however isn't working very well.' He tapped the diamond chip in the middle of his throat.
-
He looked at the pad of alcohol seeing the color had came off showing her original fur color with a bit of blood. Devin wasn't surprised as it seemed this was to hide her identity. He however let the dye stay knowing she'd probably feel safer. Devin listen to her heart before putting the blanket over her and walking over to the restroom to wash the materials.
After a few minutes, Zanthe started to stir a little bit, wincing as the pain set in. *Wh... Where am I?* she thought, looking around from where she lay.
Cassy sighed in relief. "Thank you, sir," she said, smiling at the man.
"You wouldn't happen to know what happened to her, would you?" The nurse asked. Vlad gave Cassy a questioning glance, wondering what they should tell him.
-
Cassy squeezed her hands together, sighed, and looked at the nurse. "... What do you believe happened?" she said, deciding to play it safe. She glanced at Vlad as well.
Zanthe lowered her ears a bit. "... I'm sorry," she said. "Is there anything I could do to help with that?"
-
'It's fine, it's not a bad thing. I was born mute so I'm fairly use to it.' He wrote assuring there was no reason to be sorry. 'However I'm not sure, it rarely glitches... usually I just have to mess with it for a couple minutes until it turns back on.' He finished on the paper showing Zanthe.
-
"Well judging by how it looks, she must have been hit in the head multiple times. Since "belly dancing" isn't a contact sport, this suggests that she was assaulted. I am not an expert on law but I am prettu assaulting an ambassador of another country is a serious offense." The nurse turned his head to Vlad.
"Your her body guard, did you see what happened?" Vlad shook his head.
"No I was in a different room when it happened." Vlad admitted.
"What about you miss..." the nurse asked cassy.
-
'It's fine, it's not a bad thing. I was born mute so I'm fairly use to it.' He wrote assuring there was no reason to be sorry. 'However I'm not sure, it rarely glitches... usually I just have to mess with it for a couple minutes until it turns back on.' He finished on the paper showing Zanthe.
Zanthe nodded gently. "I hope I didn't cause it by accident," she said, lowering her ears. "Has anything happened that could have caused it to malfunction?"
Cassy tensed a little. Even though Ruby was a massive bitch, sending her to jail probably wouldn't do much. Judging from the way she acted and carried herself, she was in good with the town somehow, and the police were corrupt. I'll give them bare bones... This might have to be my own fight. Besides... if it seems like I know too much, who knows what will happen. "...Well, I was changing in the room," she said. "I had just gotten my bra on when I heard some sort of commotion. When I got there, I..." The crat pressed her hand to her forehead. "... It's hard for me to talk about. I saw her lying on the ground like that, and there were some people over her... I wasn't sure exactly what to think. It all happened so fast." She looked up at the nurse. "... I think it might've been the people standing over her, but I'm not entirely sure. There could have been a silent assailant."
-
He shook his head 'It was before I was running after you.. It was no incident like I said, once in awhile it malfunctions. I can probably fix it now since I'm not busy.' He wrote back to the catfox.
-
"Well I am sure police will give a full investigation and will find whoever did this." The nurse said, clearly not knowing how this city works. He exits the room and Vlad let's out a sigh of relief.
-

Cassy sighed as well. "Should we go visit Rose?" she asked, looking over at Vlad. "Alternately... perhaps there's a place where you can teach me magic?"
-
"We should visit her just to check in on her, than we can go train." Vlad said getting up from his seat.
-
"We should visit her just to check in on her, than we can go train." Vlad said getting up from his seat.
Cassy stood and walked toward the doors. "He told us which room she was in, right?"
-
As he drank water, Devin thought before standing. looking down at Zanthe, He put a paw up with an extended finger to wait a moment. Walking off to the restroom to see if he was able to fix the chip.

Unable to follow the shebard, Zanthe remained in the bed, gently sipping at her water from time to time.
-
He leaned his head back messing with the chip as his mouth opened. It sounded like a broken record and radio combined making a buzzing like noise, sometimes his voice cracked inside. After a few minutes devin's voice was heard "Ahhh... There." he said in a husky but rather smooth voice. The Shebard walked out of the restroom back towards Zanthe grabbing and tossing the notebook onto his desk. "See, it just does it once in a while..."
-
"Oh no he didn't...we should go ask." Vlad goes and asks and they find the room.
Rose is awake with several stiches in her forehead and crying softly to herself. Her bed was fairly large as rose did way over 600 pounds.
-
Ronnie wandered about the city, until he found himself in a park. He sat down on a nearby bench, and sighed. "Where are those two?"
-
(I forgot about clover and Valentine. What happened with them.)
-
"Oh no he didn't...we should go ask." Vlad goes and asks and they find the room.
Rose is awake with several stiches in her forehead and crying softly to herself. Her bed was fairly large as rose did way over 600 pounds.
(Still fine. Still in a warehouse. What's Kammy up to?)
Cassy carefully padded over to the bed. "... Rose?" she said, approaching slowly.
Zanthe nodded. "That's very interesting," she said. "Did you make it yourself?"
-
"No, I just remember waking up with it. Lost a bit of blood and felt terrible." he spoke bringing a chair over and sitting down, he picked up his water drinking some.
-
(I keep forgetting about her. D:)
After a long, perilous and exciting adventure that will never be mentioned again, Kammy finds her way to Devin's warehouse with a feral turtle on her head and holding a bag of spicy cheetos. She finishes the last cheeeto, tosses the bag aside and sets the turtle down.
"Be free Mr. Shell." Kammy says and when she turns her back a feral cat picks up Mr. Shell and runs off to make him dinner.
"I hope zanthe is fine."
"Go away...I'm fat and ugly." Rose says and curls up.

Mr. Shell retreats within his shell, waits until the cat's back is turned, and escapes. (... I like turtles.)
Zanthe nodded, giving Devin a half-hearted smile. "You have a nice voice," she said, sipping at her water; as she did, though, she thought that she smelled something familiar.
-
The Shebard closed and set the bottle down beside his chair "You think?...It's still a bit odd to me. Since I've been mute for most of my life" he replied "even with this device, I've never really talked to other anthro's. Except you." Devin finished.
-
Zanthe, surprised, gave Devin a slight smile. "I do think so," she said. "I don't even mind that I can't get up."
-
A mist slowly entered from under under the front door and quietly drifted into the rafters.
(Rose responded.)
-
Cassy lowered her ears. "No you're not," she said. "Don't let them get to you. They're just a bunch of jerks."
Zanthe cocked her ears. "Do you feel that?" she murmured.
-
"They beat my face into a locker!" Rose cried.

(Its late, i'm off to bed.)
-
He Shebard huffed "Yea..." he said his ears lightly flicking and his pupils going sharp.
-
Cassy gently took Rose's hand. "... They won't get away with it," she said. "Not again. I promise."
Zanthe checked the ceiling. "... I have an idea of who it might be," she said. "... Get in the bed with me. Quickly."

Zanthe checked the ceiling. "... I have an idea of who it might be," she said. "... Get in the bed with me. Quickly."
-
As he studied the area before hearing the catfox. He then looked over at Zanthe with a raised brow "What?" He asked confused his ears slightly back.
-
Zanthe flushed slightly. "... Not like that," she said. "For safety. Your safety."
-
"I'm positive I can defend myself you don't know what I'm capable of. Besides I think that's a bit too close for comfort." Devin said walking over "I'll stay close but not in the bed with you, not that I don't want to because of you or I do... It's just a little too close." he said respectfully.
-
Zanthe nodded, a little relieved that Devin was so considerate. "Alright... do you have my handgun, or do I still have it?" she asked.
-
"Yes, here" he said pulling it out of his waist holster and carefully handing it over to her, the handle facing Zanthe. "It's Still loaded."
-
Zanthe nodded and gently cocked the hammer back, holding the weapon like it was a part of her. "Alright... Stay close to me, okay?" she said, watching the ceiling. "Literally. Put your hand on my shoulder."
-
Kammy dropped from the rafters with her bastard sword ready swing at devin as she had not heard the conversation.
-
The Shebard quickly saw the stranger drop down, his pupils going sharp. He held a serious expression while looking over at kammy saying no words.
-
"Kidnapping my friend will be your last mistake!" Kammy said as she lunged at Devin, her sword glowing with unholy energy.
Rose hugged cassy tightly as she cried and cried.
-
He rolled back dodging her and her sword and jumped to his feet. Devin's arm quickly extending using telekinesis to push her back against the wall but not enough to hurt her as his goal wasn't to harm this stranger, Zanthe's friend.
-
Kammy was pushed back but not all the way to the wall as she managed to resist some of push.
-
Zanthe quickly tried to get to her feet and was rewarded with pain. The catfox fell to the ground on her knees, one hand on her side. "Dammit... Kammy, stop that!" she said, looking over at the vampire. "He didn't kidnap me!"
-
Devin saw the catfox struggle to get up. He Carefully helped her up to her feet, keeping her up so she wouldn't fall and hurt herself in any way. The Shebard looked over at Kammy as Zanthe spoke to her, staying silent.
-
Cassy let Rose hug her, knowing that she needed a friend right now.
Zanthe was grateful for Devin's assistance. "I swear on my blood that he didn't kidnap me," she said, staring right at Kammy. "We patched each other up... I fixed him first, then I guess he carried my unconscious body here to dress my injuries." The catfox looked at Devin. "... Is that about right?"
-
He looked at her "Yes, that's about it. Devin said nodding to Zanthe with agreement. "However I caused the injuries... " He finished quietly with a tint of guilt while looking at her abdomen his paw placed gently on it as he helped her stay up.
-
Zanthe flushed a little as Devin touched her, looking up at him. "However, we've come to an understanding and all," she said to Kammy.
-
Devin held up Zanthe still keeping her steady applying a little pressure to the abdomen softly. The Shebard didn't mind Kammy as she wasn't a big threat to him. However he waited for her response to the catfox.

"So wait...why did hurt Zanthe?" Kammy asked really confused by all this. She still sheathed her sword.
(Also Kammy is pretty strong Zaida, she was just holding back. ^_^)
-
"Not really your concern. This is between me and her and I'd like to keep it that way..." He said in a respectful tone not enjoying the fact of describing how his job. "Besides it's already done and we've moved past that." he thought a bit uneasy. Concerned if any of the claw mafia would search for him soon.
(Yea I know, So is Devin.)
-
"Alright fine, but we should really get back clover's warehouse. Valentine is probably pretty worried about what happened to you." Kammy says leaning against a wall.
-
Zanthe nodded, smiling a little; she was still blushing like crazy. "Right... Devin, could I please borrow a shirt?" she said. "I don't want Valentine to freak out over me..."
(Now, now, girls, you're both pretty, let's just get the pageant started! X3)
-
(No... I'm fabulous. get it right dammit.)
"Yes." he said "...uhm However are you able to stand on your own?" Devin asked with a raised brow. "I don't want to let go if your going to fall... " He said.
-
Zanthe gritted her teeth and straightened up. "... Give me a couple of minutes, and I should be able to walk on my own," she said. "I won't be too much help in melee combat, though."
-
"Well. just..." He looked around before His left leg slid over his foot between two legs of the chair, pulling it over. "Sit.." the Shebard said sitting her down gently. Devin let her go walking over to his black duffle back and digging in it before grabbing a white shirt. "Here you can wear this" Devin said approaching her and handing over the shirt.
-
Kammy was simply waiting, as she could easily sense that there was some tenderness between the two.
-

Devin let her go walking over to his black duffle back and digging in it before grabbing a white shirt. "Here you can wear this" Devin said approaching her and handing over the shirt.
Zanthe looked into Devin's eyes as she gently took the shirt from him, her face flushed. "Th... Thank you," she said, slipping the t-shirt on over her now cut-off tank top.
-
"No problem." He said walking back to his duffle bag. Devin zipped it up and putting it over his shoulder as he walked back. Helping Zanthe to her feet. "Where are we going?" The Shebard asked his head slightly tilt as he asked the question.
-
"No problem." He said walking back to his duffle bag. Devin zipped it up and putting it over his shoulder as he walked back. Helping Zanthe to her feet. "Where are we going?" The Shebard asked his head slightly tilt as he asked the question.
"To another warehouse," Zanthe said, taking a few tentative steps forward. She was a little shaky, but otherwise stable. "There's someone important there that we're protecting."
-
"Oh I see..." He said however didn't want to ask more questions until they got there. "Are you sure your able to walk Zanthe, I can help if you like?" Devin asked fixing the black duffle bag.
-
Kammy was on the phone with Clover letting her know what as going on.
After a long hug, Rose had cried her self to sleep in Cassy's arms.
-
"Oh I see..." He said however didn't want to ask more questions until they got there. "Are you sure your able to walk Zanthe, I can help if you like?" Devin asked fixing the black duffle bag.
Zanthe looked over at Devin, tucking her gun into her waistband. "...Please," she said, smiling sheepishly. "I'm still not quite there."
Cassy gently patted Rose's hand and stood up.
-
Devin gave a simple nod to the catfox "that's fine." He swung the duffle bag to have it hang behind his back. Before the Shebard scooped up Zanthe in his arms walking to the exit where Kammy was near. "Correct me if I am wrong...But Kammy? you lead the way." he said to the fox anthro.
-
Vlad walked out of the room and gestured for cassy to follow.
(Kammy's a Fox, more specifically a kitsune with tails.)
"See you soon. Bye" Kammy hung up the phone and turned to Devin.
"Right, let's be on our way." She said and exited the warehouse.
-
Devin nods at the kitsune, holding the catfox firmly but in a gent way in his arms. Leaving the old factory building he followed Kammy carefully.
-
Valentine had, at some point, woken up, and was wandering the warehouse, looking for anything to do. She didn't play many video games, and didn't want to walk outside.
-
Clover was trying to play video games, but Valentine wandering sort distracted her.
"Uh...need something?" She asked.
Kammy was leading the group through alley ways and empty streets, trying to avoid running into people.
"Ugh it's morning, if someone jumps us in the daylight I will be pretty weak. Just letting you know that." Kammy said as she walked.
-
Zanthe blushed darkly as Devin scooped her up, and remained silent for the longest time. "Uh... I could still help a bit," she said finally. "Just... not up close and personal."
Cassy followed Vlad out of the room.
-
"Alright, now that she is asleep we can go train. I know a place where casters can go to practice magic." Vlad said as he continued towards the exit.
-
"I'm positive we won't, and if it does I won't let it happen..." he assured them as he continued to follow the kitsune carefully.
-
Eventually Kammy got them to the warehouse unlocked the door with her key.
"Clover we're back." She called inside.
Clover looked up from her game. The fairy cat currently had a tank top on but no pants.
"About time."
-
The Shebard walked inside the warehouse after the vamp kitsune. Zanthe still in his arms as he looked about. He rolled his left shoulder, fixing the duffle bag on his back again.
-
Cassy looked at Vlad as the two left the hospital. "What if Ruby trains there as well?" she whispered.
Zanthe squirmed a bit, testing her belly muscles out. "... I'm all good, Devin," she said, looking up at the shebard and blushing against her will. "You can put me down now..."
-
"Alright, here you go..." he said gently setting the Zanthe to her feet, noticing she had been blushing a bit. He then swung the duffle bag, hanging on his right shoulder.
-
(I am off to bed, goodnight.)
-
(Goodnight, Talia.)
Zanthe wobbled a bit as Devin set her down, but she ultimately kept her footing. "... Well, it'll hurt for a while, but I think I can walk on my own now," she said, looking back at the shebard with a gentle smile.
-
"That's good to hear." Devin said for once giving a soft smile before it faded. "However your blushing. Is something wrong?" He said with a raised brow, crossing his arms. Devin didn't really see any anthro's blush at work or his daily life...
-
"That's good to hear." Devin said for once giving a soft smile before it faded. "However your blushing. Is something wrong?" He said with a raised brow, crossing his arms. Devin didn't really see any anthro's blush at work or his daily life...
Zanthe flushed even more darkly, rubbing the back of her head. "W-Well... it's just..." The catfox took a deep breath, looking extrememly embarrassed. "No one's... I haven't..." The catfox hid her face in her hands as she remembered how Devin had supported her and brought her a bottle of water and risked his life for her. "... I'd forgotten what it's like to have someone watching out for you." That sounded so lame....
-
"Oh? well it was nothing to blush about. It just felt wrong so I decided to stop and help." He then gave a small smile again... But thought to himself ~have to keep myself low now, mafia might look for me soon..~ he paused before asking "So how long will we be here for?"
-

Zanthe shrugged. "That's the thing... I'm not sure," she whispered. "At least as long as it takes for my wounds to heal... I probably should have mentioned this before. We're doing all this to aid an acquaintance of mine."
-
"Well I don't mind staying here and helping out. Besides I was staying in an abandoned factory... Less room with all the old machines." Devin said as he had gotten his bottled water out, he the drank what's was left.
-
"Well I don't mind staying here and helping out. Besides I was staying in an abandoned factory... Less room with all the old machines." Devin said as he had gotten his bottled water out, he the drank what's was left.
Zanthe pulled hers out and finished it as well. "Alright then... to life," she said, drinking the last few drops. "It'll be good to have you around..." She smiled sheepishly.
-
He nods "Thank you, that means a lot." Devin said softly still smiling, placing his paw on her shoulder. "I need some rest.. A small nap, I suggest you nap as well" He said patting her shoulder before walking to the back of the warehouse setting his duffle bag on the floor, laying down and using it like a pillow.
-
Valentine shook her head. "I'm kinda bored, but I'm scared to go outside."
-
Zanthe made her way over to Valentine and carefully sat down beside her, wincing a little. "... Well, don't worry," she said, smiling gently. "It will be safe soon enough."
-
Valentine shook her head. "I want my brother, and I wanna go home."
-
Zanthe scootched over a bit and gently hugged Valentine. "We'll have your brother in a matter of days," she said. "I promise."
(...Who's going to distract the guards with Rose in the hospital?)
-
(Clover could, though hers would be a more aggressive approach.)

Devin rested. He had been sleeping for a bit, waking up he laid down still while looking up at the ceiling of the warehouse. The Shebard stayed silent as he was deep in thought, uneasy about the mafia.
-
Clover was already awake and was doing some exercises. Currently she was doing push ups while also flexing her wings at the same time.
-
Zanthe slept beside Valentine.
Cassy waited for Vlad's answer. "Well?" she asked. "What kind of place is it?"
(... Cassy could. o-o)
-
(They both could technically, clover may be ugly in her normal form but she is pretty good looking in her disguise.)
"It's a place of pretty high standards as a lot of professional casters go there. Even If this peacock wanted to start a fight there, she would have more to deal with than just us as security would step in." Vlad said.

Cassy nodded. "Alright... and it's fine to bring my knife, right?" she asked. "I literally can't be parted from it."
(... That too. o-o They could. Maybe Zaida as well.)
-
"Of course, some casters have weapons as a magic focuses, like myself. However they will ask to put a temporary enchantment on it so that it can't be used for killing." Vlad said. The place was coming into view and the building looked very fancy for a gym. A sign hung from above the do way that said "Warden Freeman's Magic gym"

Cassy looked at the building. "Man... how come all the schools in this city look so elaborate?" she asked, cocking an eyebrow. "... And I can do that anyhow. Make it so the knife can't hurt, I mean."

-
"Ok...and it's not really a school, it's more like a gym. Also it's own by a powerful wizard so of course it's extravagant." Vlad walked up to the front door and flashed a membership card.
"Don't worry so long as one us has a card we can both get in." Vlad said as the doors opened and he went inside.
-
Cassy followed Vlad inside, nodding slowly and glancing around to get a better feel of the place's vibe.
-
(I am going to bed.)
-
Devin was outside the warehouse resting against the wall. The Shebard huffed gently looking about, as the sun began to set.
Zaida moved around Ascension giving a yawn, giving a sign she hasn't been sleeping for a few weeks. The Vexū stopped for a second thinking to herself

Zanthe kept sleeping; she was a little bit better than before.
-
Devin had his arms crossed as he breathed from his nose, the fog visible. He tapped his boot against the floor his eyes closed. The Shebard seemed to add a small bandaid on the top right of his head where he had hit during the fall.
Zaida felt something odd, facing the hospital she raised a brow. ~Magic was there?~ the Vexū thought before heading to the building.
-
Valentine, who had been sleeping soundly, stood up suddenly, and started to wander about. Although rarely, Valentine would sleepwalk, but she was usually in no danger.
-
Zanthe, feeling Valentine moving, woke up and followed her, having trained herself to fall asleep and wake up on command.
-
Cassy followed Vlad inside, nodding slowly and glancing around to get a better feel of the place's vibe.
(Sorry I haven't been responding, I haven't been in the best mood lately.)
The inside looked like a cross between your adverage gym and something out of Harry potter. There were work out machines, weights and other implements of training for the more physical magic users who worked out their body as well as their magic skills. Than there were also practice dummies, magic circles, and other strange things that were used in the practice of magic. The most notable thing though were the people in grey robes, carrying white staffs and standing on floating platforms. They seemed to be scanning the fairly large group people as if they were looking for any disturbances, but it was kind f hard to tell because nothing showed from underneath the robes, not even a tail.
As Vlad and Cassy enter they are greeted by two of these robed figures. They said nothing and just held out one of their hands, which were gloved. Vlad presented his twin scimitars and the two figures cast a little magic on them before turning to cassy, offering their hands again.
Vlad whispered I Cassy's ear.
"Your knife, present it to them."

Vlad whispered I Cassy's ear.
"Your knife, present it to them."
Cassy blushed. ".... I can try," she said, unsheathing her knife and handing it to one of them handle-first. Seconds after she handed it over, it returned to her sheath. The crat sighed. "Um... sirs, can you still do the spell if I'm touching the knife?" she said, drawing it again and handing it back to the man while keeping her hand on part of the blade.
-
Valentine turned, suddenly, and stepped outside. She wandered down the street, back towards the city.
-
Zanthe, worried now, followed her quietly and silently, wondering if she should wake the raccoon up.
-
Da the stood, grunting as he did as his ribs still hurt a bit. The Shebard walked back into the warehouse quietly.
Zaida was now in the hospital, looking around curiously but not too much to look suspicious to those around her. Finally the Vexū stopped at Rose's room.
-
Rose was asleep, but was stirring a little bit as she appeared to be having a nightmare.
The figures in grey cloaks nodded and put a hand over your knife and enchanting it before returning to their posts.
-
(... Typos. Typos everywhere.)
Cassy looked at her knife, then spun it once and returned it to its sheath. "They seem nice," she said to Vlad. "So... Where do we start?"
-
(sorry but my kindle is lagging really hard. D:)
-
(Technology issues plague the best of us.)
-
"We are going to practice defense spells today so a good place to start would be over by the launchers." Vlad pointed to series of glass rooms where some mages were blocking shots from a ball launcher with whatever magic they had.

Cassy nodded. "Alright... you're the master," she said, heading in that direction.
-
Zaida walked into the thri-Queen's room. Familar with this face as she had a good memory however the magic... it was gone. The Vexū sensed the nightmares as this was a treat being a God of darkness, however Zaida sat. her hand placed on her head as the nightmares began to escape.
-
Rose began to relax as the nightmares were relieved. The nightmare she was having if zaida could tell was of Ruby the peacock. Rose was squirming through an empty verison of the city while being chased by ruby, who set everything she touched on fire. It would have ended with Ruby setting Rose on fire, but Zaida had stopped the dream before that point.

(Forgot about Vlad.)
Vlad went into an empty room and started prepping the machine to a low setting.
-
Cassy took off her jacket and set it aside, straightening her tank top out and smoothing out her belly fur. "... So... just block the balls with the spell?" she said, drawing her knife.
-
Zaida eyes were pitch black before quickly disappearing. Her eyes an aqua teal once more. Her hand broke away before folding her paws and leaning back in the seat.
Devin looked out the warehouse seeing the coon and catfox wander off into the city, their backs facing him. He raised a brow showing confusion but it was probably best to leave them be, whatever they were doing... The Shebard walked into the back of the warehouse beginning to workout as it was probably the only thing to keep him occupied for awhile.
-
Rose slowly opened hers eyes as she woke and saw Zaida.
"You...you look familiar."
"Yes that is the idea, the spell i am going to teach you is based on reaction and timing. It is meant to create a shield of force to block an attack but it only lasts for a few seconds. Let me give a demonstration." Vlad leads cassy to the machine and goes to stand in front of the launcher fair distance away.
"Push the button on the back."
-
She nods to the the insect type anthro "Yes, we walked past eachother one day." Zaida said to Rose in a quiet voice.
-
"Why did you come to visit?" Rose asked sitting up in her bed.
-
"Sensed magic but seems it's gone now, besides you were having a nightmare." Zaida replied to the queen.
-
"I was? Well...thanks for being here for me I guess." Rose said. Another thri-keen in servants clothes and holding a bowl of royal jelly came in but froze as he saw Zaida. Rose's face we burned bright red as she frantically gestured him to go which he did.
"Sorry uh...I still have to do certain duties while in the hospital." Rose said really embarrassed.
-
"That's fine, I don't mind especially being a queen's duty along with your culture I'm sure it's important... However you are in a hospital for a reason, resting is what you should do." The Vexū said snapping her neck to one side before doing the other and gave a huff through her nose, Zaida faced rose again with her glowing eyes.
-
"Baring the children of my countries future is still important. If it weren't for the actions of my ancestor, Queen Rose Mariland the first, I would actually be pumping eggs 24-7 and be locked in a room. She made it so queens have more freedom to do as they please and go where they want." Rose said
-
Zaida listens a her head resting on her hand " I've heard a lot of things when it come to being a royal. Not surprised, I'm sure it can be a pain..." The Vexū said understanding completely.
-
Rose slowly opened hers eyes as she woke and saw Zaida.
"You...you look familiar."
"Yes that is the idea, the spell i am going to teach you is based on reaction and timing. It is meant to create a shield of force to block an attack but it only lasts for a few seconds. Let me give a demonstration." Vlad leads cassy to the machine and goes to stand in front of the launcher fair distance away.
"Push the button on the back."
Cassy nodded and, watching Vlad at the same time, pressed the button.
-
Valentine woke up in the middle of the street, and stumbled slightly, as a truck driver veered off to not strike her.
-
The launcher chucked a ball at Vlad and Vlad quickly threw a see through force field with one hand. The ball bounced harmlessly off the shield.
"Yes it can be, but as an ambassador I do enjoy traveling. I have met a lot of nice people because of it...and some not so nice people." Rose said lightly touching where she was injured.
-
Zanthe quickly dashed out into the middle of the street, looking both ways as she did. When she reached Valentine, she quickly scooped the raccoon up and ran to the other sidewalk. "Are you okay, Valentine?" she whispered.
Cassy raised her eyebrows and whistled appreciatively. "Nice," she said. "What goes into that? How do you summon it?"
-
Valentine looked groggily at Zanthe. "H-Huh?"
-
"Well I t's good you met nice anthro's at least, more bad anthro's in the world. Or at least in my opinion" the Vexū said soothingly with a light shrug.
Devin stayed in the room exercising. Already done with pull ups on a rusty pole that stuck out of the wall now he was Currently doing simple push-ups. his snout touching the floor lightly, staying down for a few seconds before lifting up, then repeating.
-
Valentine looked groggily at Zanthe. "H-Huh?"
"You were sleepwalking," the catfox said, starting to head back to the warehouse carefully.
-
Valentine blinked, and then nodded slightly. "R-Right. I forgot I do it."
-
Zanthe smiled kindly at Valentine. "Well, now we know," she said, finally reaching the warehouse. "It's a good thing we didn't get too far... Are you hungry?"
-
"Well I t's good you met nice anthro's at least, more bad anthro's in the world. Or at least in my opinion" the Vexū said soothingly with a light shrug.
Devin stayed in the room exercising. Already done with pull ups on a rusty pole that stuck out of the wall now he was Currently doing simple push-ups. his snout touching the floor lightly, staying down for a few seconds before lifting up, then repeating.
"Yes that is true, I have just never had anyone be so agrressive with me before, or even try to hurt me." Rose said.
-
"Well that's just how things are, especially in a city like Ascension." Zaida said with a huff.
-
Valentine nodded. "Yes! I'm famished!" She looked elated, happy to get something to eat.
-
Zanthe quickly dashed out into the middle of the street, looking both ways as she did. When she reached Valentine, she quickly scooped the raccoon up and ran to the other sidewalk. "Are you okay, Valentine?" she whispered.
Cassy raised her eyebrows and whistled appreciatively. "Nice," she said. "What goes into that? How do you summon it?"
"Right before the ball is about to hit you, try to picture a shield in between you and what is about to hit you. Now I am going to put the machine at its lowest settings and fire it at you. Don't worry, it will be a light tap at this setting." Vlad went to take his position at the machine and gestured for cassy to get in for the of the machine.
"Yes...well thank you for stopping by. I really should get my..."duties" over with, but you may visit any time you like." Rose said.
Clover and Kammy were actually preparing breakfast back at the ware house using Clover's supplies.
-
"Well I'll get out of the room but I'm not leaving the hospital. Bad things happen when someone is so vulnerable even if some of those things are simple nightmares, I'm doing you a little favor by staying" she pat roses shoulders getting up from the chair and exiting her room.
-
"Ok..." Rose actually hadn't really though about how vulnerable she was but she didn't really have time to thing about that as her servant came back into the room.
-
Zanthe chuckled a bit. "Well, come on," she said. "It smells like something's being prepared."
Nodding, Cassy switched places with Vlad and drew her knife and got into a ready stance. "Picture a shield.. got it," she mumbled to herself.
(Goodnight.)
-
Zaida sat on a chair outside the room her head down. She had her tail wrapped around her waist and ears laid back. The Vexū was taking a light nap as she murred, peacefully. Still outside Rose's hospital room.
Devin stopped working out, thinking to himself. The Shebard took his shirt off setting it beside his duffle bag, planning to fully change after a small nap. He laid on the old beaten up couch in the back room he's been staying in this warehouse. Closing his eyes he began to drift off.
(Just posting since I'm bored, Night.)
-
Walking into the warehouse, Zanthe glanced around. "...Huh," she murmured, not seeing Devin at first.
-
Valentine rubbed her stomach gently. "I hope it's ready soon. I'm starved."
-
Zaida still sat outside rose's hospital room. A few doctors, nurses, visitors and sometimes patients passing by the Vexū.
The Sabard had fallen asleep fast on the old couch. His ears flicked from Zanthe and Valentine who walked in, the hybrid smelt the food being prepared as well.
-
"I can imagine... you've had a rough couple of days," Zanthe replied, peeking into the back room. Seeing Devin, she flushed a little. "...Why don't you see how Kammy and Clover are doing, Valentine? They might need some help."
-
Valentine nodded, and walked off to find Kammy and Clover.
-
Zamthe nodded and slowly padded into Devin's room. (Goodnight, everyone!)
-
The Sabard continued to sleep on the couch, peacefully using one of the couch arms as a pillow. His arm hung off the edge almost touching the floor the other on his chest. His feet resting up the other arm. He slept like a Cub, Devin didn't have many opportunities to sleep like this. (Night.)
-
Zanthe took a seat in a chair opposite the couch and watched Devin sleep, not wanting to disturb him.
-
He didn't take naps often. So his body wasn't very use to it, nor did he want to sleep long. The Sabard opened his eyes a bit and gave a sigh through his nose. He raised his arms over his head stretching before he glanced over to see Zanthe.
-
Zanthe flushed a little and rubbed her arm. "... Hey there," she said, smiling gently.
-
Devin sat up giving a light grunt as he did "We're you watching me?" The Sabard said with a raised brow.
-
The catfox looked to the side. "A bit," she said. "I was going to check on your injuries..."
-
"Oh, isn't that's sweet of you." he stopped giving a big yawn and stretched again with a grunt before speaking "they seem to be fine, little pain but fine." Devin said with his eyes making it down to her abdomen "How's yours?..."
-
Zanthe lifted her shirt a little and looked at herself. "... I think the upper one has healed," she said. "Maybe another day for the stab wound..." The catfox looked at Devin and smiled a bit. "I'll be honest... that was a very effective attack. It probably would've killed someone else."
-
His ears leaned back slightly "Yea.." He huffed his smile faded still staring at her abdomen. "I'm sure it would." Devin said not very proud. As that wasn't the first time using an attack like that... And it probably wasn't his last. ~I have to leave soon or I'll put all of them in danger~ he thought concerned.
-
Zanthe let her shirt drop and looked up at Devin, catching the worry on his face. "... Is something the matter?" she said. "I'm sorry if that's not something you wanted to hear..."
-
Devin huffed "I don't like hurting anthro's... I really don't" he said in a quiet voice, maybe even a whimper. He crossed his arms over his chest, the left breast having some symbol. It looked like a burnt scar... Like a cattle brand. A circle with three lines through it.
-
Valentine wasn't sure where Clover and Kammy were, and called out for them. "Kammy? Clover? Where are you guys?"
Ronnie wandered about, until he found himself near the warehouse Valentine was. He heard her calling out for Kammy and Clover, and decided to investigate. "That sounded a lot like..." Ronnie drew his pistol, which was a massive, silver-plated revolver, and snuck up to the warehouse. "You're not gettin' away this time." Ronnie had a few bones to pick with the Zambian, and figured he would be close to Valentine.
-
Devin huffed "I don't like hurting anthro's... I really don't" he said in a quiet voice, maybe even a whimper. He crossed his arms over his chest, the left breast having some symbol. It looked like a burnt scar... Like a cattle brand. A circle with three lines through it.
Zanthe lowered her ears further. "... I don't like hurting people either," the catfox replied. "Did... where did you get that..." Zanthe's ears suddenly pricked up, her eye getting wide as she honed in on something. "... Did you hear that?" she asked, looking over her shoulder.
-
Devin looked at his chest, tracing the symbol with his claw lightly. however didn't answer as he heard something as well. "Yea... It sounds like it's coming from outside" he replied quietly before standing up.
-
Zanthe nodded slowly and got to her feet. "... Stay behind me," she said, pulling her gun out of her waistband.
-
He blinked a bit surprised by the sudden command, blushing slightly. "How about we stay by each others sides..." Devin said pulling a 45 handgun From his duffle bag, cocking it.
-
*Red was at a cabaret club preparing a act*
-
Zanthe paused for a moment, then nodded briefly. "Alright... together, then," she said.
-
(My post deleted ~_~ ugh)
Devin looked around carefully, His knees slightly bent. His arms were down, and paws having a firm grip on the pistol. "Any idea who it could be?..." He whispered to Zanthe.
-
Zanthe closed her eyes and opened her mouth slightly, sniffing the air. "... A raccoon," she murmured. "Probably armed. Possibly male." The catfox opened her eyes and looked at Devin, blushing gently. "You'll be glad to hear this- please be careful not to hurt him. It's possible that he might be on our side, even if he doesn't know it yet."
-
He nods "Alright, I'll try not to" the Sabard said in a gently quiet voice. "But if he shoots or hits me I can lose my patients..." He sighed. "Just a warning if I happen to attack him... It's a nasty reaction I get."
-
Zanthe nodded and touched Devin's shoulder. "I'll do what I can to make sure that you both stay safe," she said.
-
He gives a small nod. "Alright" he loosens up stopping by the side of the door. "I think you should open it, Since I'm sure seeing a complete stranger there's a higher chance of him shooting." The Sabard said.
-
Ronnie pushed the warehouse door open gently, and peered around, his pistol in paw.
-
(Zaida.... which door was Devin standing by? Before we make any more replies.)
-
(The front)
-
Before Ronnie could see her, Zanthe got to the other side of the door and watched Ronnie enter. He looks like he might be related to Valentine...
-
(Anything interesting happen in my absence?)
-
(Not particularly... Anyway, Cassy is in front of the ball machine and Valentine just called out to Clover and Kammy.)
-
Ronnie pushed the warehouse door open gently, and peered around, his pistol in paw.
Clover stepped out into the open where Ronnie could easily see her.
"Who the hell do you think you are coming into my warehouse!" Clover hissed and was wielding her rusty lead pipe.
Vlad pushed a button the machine and a ball was launched slowly through the air at cassy.
-
Cassy focused on putting up a shield like Vlad asked... and got smacked in the face with a ball, falling over backwards. (I thought it would be funny. XD)
Zanthe tensed, thinking a very inappropriate word.
-
Ronnie pointed his pistol at Clover. "Where's Valentine?"
-
Acting quickly, Zanthe stepped from the shadows and forced Ronnie gun arm down from behind. "Safe here," she said. "Now please just calm down, and let us explain the situation before you and she start beating each other up... but firstly. Are you here of your own..."
-
"Volition? Yes. I thought I recognized Valentine's voice." Ronnie quickly holstered his pistol. "She was in bad, last I heard."
-
"She's out now," Zanthe said. "But there are new issues.... Come on. I'll explain everything to you in private." The catfox motioned to the back room.
-
Devin watched this, as he wasn't notice but the others. Luckily when Ronnie was forced to lower his gun, the Sabard lowered his. He watched as they went to the back room, sitting on a chair to rest himself a bit, however stayed cautious. He began to write onto a note in a blood red ballpoint pen, giving a small sigh.
-
Cassy focused on putting up a shield like Vlad asked... and got smacked in the face with a ball, falling over backwards. (I thought it would be funny. XD)
Zanthe tensed, thinking a very inappropriate word.
Vlad face palmed as cassy outright failed.
"Ugh, not like that." Vlad came over and helped cassy up.
Clover growled in annoyance.
"Sure just let everyone into my warehouse. I could have dealt with him myself." She stalked over to her where she had left her food and continued eating in anger. Kammy sighed as she was in the rafters above everyone. Her plan was to kick Ronnie in the head from above if clover some how failed to deal with him.
-
Zanthe shrugged. "Come on," she said again to Ronnie.
Cassy rubbed her forehead and accepted the help up. "Sorry," she said. "My focus sort of dropped away for a moment... I'm supposed to picture a shield, right?"
-
"Yes and use a little bit of magic as well which assumed you knew how to do. Be glad this just a low level spell because the bigger stuff will literally blow up in your face." Vlad
-
"Yes and use a little bit of magic as well which assumed you knew how to do. Be glad this just a low level spell because the bigger stuff will literally blow up in your face." Vlad
Cassy gave Vlad a look. "Hey, I know how," she spat. "I just... I got it up too late."
-
"Well getting it up too late can mean the difference between life and death. Maybe it would help if you imagined that the ball wasn't just a ball, but one of ruby's fireballs coming right at you. You said she was a Pryo kinetic so I imagine she could do that easily." Vlad went back behind the machine and hovered us finger over the button.
"Ready?"
-
Cassy blinked a couple of times, then drew her dagger and nodded, getting into a defensive stance. "Go ahead," she said, focusing.
-
Ronnie followed Zanthe, looking around slowly. It's a potential trap, but no risk, no reward right? He sighed internally, and placed his paws in his pockets.
-
Zanthe led Ronnie into the back room, walking in first. "Please shut the door," she said, taking a seat with both of her hands visible.
-
Ronnie shut the door behind him, gently, and then turned. "So...what's the deal?"
Valentine sat in a corner of the warehouse, reading a small book she found.
-
(Just so you know Ray...Clover only keeps one kind of book in her ware house.)
The small book turned out to be clover's diary. It was hidden for a reason but the firs entry Valentine would read went something like this.
"Dear diary, I don't how to explain it but I feel...different. Miss Lumbar says every girl goes through this sort of processes but somehow I think mine might be a little different. Mostly because I don't think sprouting insect wings is natural. Luckily none of the other orphans have noticed but what if more changes keep happening. I don't know why this is happening to me or how I can stop it but no one must know about them. I am currently wearing a dress so I can hide my wings under them but you know how much I "love" dresses. Fricken embarrassing but anyway I was wondering if this had something to do my father. Before my she passed away, mom told me I was destined to follow in his footsteps. Is this what she meant, who was my father? What exactly did he do? I hope someday I will have answers to all these questions but for now I just have to deal with these stupid wings.
P.S
My back is starting to really kill me."
-
Valentine furrowed her brow. She didn't know who's diary this was, or what was going on. Valentine was very confused.
-
Clover was looking through one of the boxes.
"Where is my diary..." She muttered to herself looked up and saw Valentine holding her diary.
"What do think your doing?"
(Just to clear things up if that was confusing, clover is an orphan and when that diary entry was when she was effectively going through puberty. However it is also when she started showing her heritage and started looking like an ugly fairy lady)
-
Ronnie shut the door behind him, gently, and then turned. "So...what's the deal?"
Valentine sat in a corner of the warehouse, reading a small book she found.
Zanthe sighed and crossed her legs, trying to seem a bit more professional than she already was and succeeding. "To get right to the point, the Zambian framed Valentine's brother for a number of murders that he did not commit," she said. "He was at the casino, forced to steal money for the Zambian in order to get Valentine back. He succeeded, but then the Zambian took everything he owned as well and framed him for a number of murders." The catfox met Ronnie's eyes with an honest, steady gaze. "I know he was framed because I know he never entered the casino. I was in there that night. There was a fire. I saw no one get shot." She shrugged. "I can tell you more, but first I'd like to know a bit more about you."
"... Vlad, I'm ready," Cassy said again.
-
(Sorry I forgot.)
Vlad hit the button and another ball flew out of the machine.
-
Devin had looked at the note, everyone seemed busy it would probably be best to do this at night or now... However he took whatever was available. Setting the note down in the chair he sat a small stone on it to keep it from flying away. The Sabard grabbed his black duffle bag swigging it over his shoulder and exits the warehouse, quietly. It was the only thing that would keep them safe, to stay away.
-
Valentine blinked, and looked at the book. "O-Oh. I-I didn't know."
Ronnie nodded. "Sounds like the Zambian. So, what's the plan?"
-
Clover grabbed the book out of Valentines hands and saw what page she was on. Clover was blushing furiously.
"Don't ever touch my stuff again without my permission." She said.
-
Valentine blinked, and looked at the book. "O-Oh. I-I didn't know."
Ronnie nodded. "Sounds like the Zambian. So, what's the plan?"
Zanthe cocked an eyebrow seriously. "... Before we proceed, sir, I would like to know a bit more about you," she said. "Particularly your relation to Valentine and so on and so forth... You are related, correct? You share similar facial structures."
Cassy imagined Ruby throwing a fireball at her and, at the right moment, projected her energy in front of her, forming a shield.
-
Ronnie nodded. "Yeah, she's my sister. Been many a year since I've seen her, though." He sighed. "Was out doin' things I shouldn't have been, when this happened." Ronnie smiled slightly. "So, what 'chu wanna know?"
Valentine, petrified, nodded slightly. "Y-Y-Yes m-ma'am."
-
Valentine blinked, and looked at the book. "O-Oh. I-I didn't know."
Ronnie nodded. "Sounds like the Zambian. So, what's the plan?"
Zanthe cocked an eyebrow seriously. "... Before we proceed, sir, I would like to know a bit more about you," she said. "Particularly your relation to Valentine and so on and so forth... You are related, correct? You share similar facial structures."
Cassy imagined Ruby throwing a fireball at her and, at the right moment, projected her energy in front of her, forming a shield.
Zanthe folded her hands and continued to regard Ronnie seriously. "Tell me... do you keep secrets well? Also, what is your preferred profession and your relationship with your brother?"
-
Kath was pacing around on the roof of the prison dressed in an all black ensemble. "How the hell am I supposed to do this?" She asked herself. As the hellhound paced, she thought of quick and easy ways she could execute her plan. The boss told her to break out this dippy wang real quick like, so that was exactly what Kath planned to do.
-
Devin parked his black street bike. downtown Acension, he looked at the skyscraper before giving a sigh. The Sabard welcomed himself inside, the first floor, a night club which Boss owned... Beginning to grow busy like always. The Sabard made his way through the club, Heading up the elevator until it opened to the top floor. Devin started down the hall, entering the office carefully.
A great bear a mix of polar and grizzly, Grolar, about fifty about Devins height 6'7, he was a thick anthro, his fur milky white with a light brown muzzle and his forearms, silver blue eyes, his hair black with some grey hairs and five o clock shadow, dressed in a black suit. "Ah, Devin... Welcome back." He said in a deep voice.
-
Ray, released from solitary, was seated in his cell, tapping his head against the concrete wall.
Ronnie nodded. "I keep secrets to the grave, and I'm usually working for sculptors. As for Ray, I've taken bullets for him."
-
Kath sighed when she finally settled on a plan of action and got to work. She planned to get the raccoon out with a bang.
-
Ray, released from solitary, was seated in his cell, tapping his head against the concrete wall.
Ronnie nodded. "I keep secrets to the grave, and I'm usually working for sculptors. As for Ray, I've taken bullets for him."
Zanthe nodded and stood carefully. "Well, there's something," she said, still using a somewhat disguised voice. "I had to wrestle someone for him and Valentine." The catfox shrugged. "About a week ago, your brother recruited me to help create a distraction for the heist. He fixed a bullet wound I had, as well. I wasn't really into it at first until I knew about his sister." She shrugged. "I suppose you could say I've got a bit of a soft spot when it comes to kids... and I don't mean my stomach, though I've taken a few hits to that soft spot while working for your brother. On the night, I wrestled with the casino owner and tried to plant a smoke canister, but then all hell broke loose in there and there was a fire.... Still not sure how that happened. Anyhow, he got away scot-free... or so we thought. I could only watch as the Zambian took everything Ray had... mostly. I snuck a few items away with the intention of returning them later on, once Valentine was out of danger. However, as I was coming from the place I stored it, I got shot in the stomach. Thankfully, it was just a graze, and on the other hand it put me in the same place that he was in. However, there wasn't anything I could do to keep the police from taking him away. Not even Mrs. Lovien could. Later on, I grouped up with Kammy out there and we had a bit of a run-in with the Zambian that he escaped from.... the bastard carries two silver-loaded pistols. Anyway, we agreed that Valentine should be somewhere safe, so we took her here." Zanthe shrugged. "And then, after some non-Valentine related stuff happened, you showed up."
-
Straight forward he answer "Not exactly Boss" Devin held a a serious, his hands folding in front of him, the Sabard standing tall.
"Now, what is that suppose to mean..." He growled his voice deep, the Bear's silver blue eyes staring coldly at him. "I gave you orders and I expect it to be done properly." He took the cigar from his mouth smoke escaping his nose.
"I assure you, she will no longer be a bother. I gave her a good beating, I'm sure she got the message through her small head. Next time she won't be lucky. Just something new I thought i'd try Boss." Devin said.
"Hmph. Well I suppose that's fine... It's ashame I couldn't come and watch, always have my paws full." he chuckled. "Your free to go, i might have some work tonight... I'll call you until then." His index finger patted the cigar over the tray, allowing the ash to fall in.
He gave a small nod "Sounds good Boss." devin turned grabbing his duffle bag and walking out of the office.
-
Ronnie nodded, as Zanthe spoke. "Yeah...that fits his MO." He sighed. "Well, we either wait for Ray's sentence to expire, or we break him out. Before the Zambian decides to torture him further."
Ray curled up beneath his bed, waiting for the next free period.
-
In a moment, a loud, very loud explosion rocked the city from where the prison was located. Inmates and guards were scattered around what used to be cell doors and concrete walls. Many were blasted into the air and came back down like charred rag dolls. Kath had to act fast before anyone else came poking around. She leapt into the smoke and debris to search for Ray.
-
Ray, shaken by the blast, staggered out of his cell holding his head.
Ronnie blinked, and looked around. "Did you hear that?"
-
"Rayleonarde!" She called. Kath climber over several large pieces of concrete before she discovered what was left of the prison. It wasn't much, but it was enough to lose Ray if he decided to hide from her.
-
Ray stumbled around for a few moments more, before coming to. He looked over towards the voice that called him out, and shouted. "I-I'm here!"
-
Kath's ears stood straight up as she heard Ray answer her call. "There you are." She huffed, running in his direction. In the distance, she could already hear sirens coming their way. "Come on! We need to get out of here!"
-
Ray moved towards Kath, ecstatic that he was getting out. In a few minutes, he'd be free.
-
Once close enough, Katheti grabbed Ray's paw and began leading him in whatever direction she felt would get them far enough away from the scene of the explosion.
-
Ray followed silently, biting his lip in excitement.
-
After a while of running, Kath slowed her pace and looked back at Ray. "Uh... Hi. I don't usually do this on a first date, I swear."
-
Ray shrugged. "Just get me outta here, and all will be forgiven."
-
Kath gave Ray a thumbs up as the taller buildings of the city appeared in the distance ahead. "Don't worry. I got ya."
-
Zanthe had a tense look on her face. "... That sounded like it came from the prison," she said.
-
*Red wallked down the sidewalk, listening to MC hammer*"Can't touch this, do do dooo"*Red accidently bumped into devin while walking*
-
Ray nodded, and looked towards the city.
Ronnie blinked. "Well, let's get going!" He stood, and started towards the city.
-
Devin looked at the red dragon that ran into him, about the same height as him. "Sorry about that" the Sabard said in his. Husky voice, fixing the duffle bag over his shoulder and hiding the pistol quickly. He gave a small smile and nod before walking off.
-
Finally, Kath and Ray made it into town. She sighed, relived everything was going so smoothly. "Ugh! Finally!"
-
*He looked at him*"Its fine"
Post Merge: January 24, 2016, 04:20:18 AM
*He looked at him*"Its fine"
-
Ray sighed, and smiled. "Thank you, miss."
-
Zanthe sighed and stood, then followed Ronnie stealthily. "We can't be seen with him, you know," she whispered. "Otherwise, they'll suspect us and all. Which would be bad."
-
Ronnie nodded. "I know. It'll just...we'll have to help without being noticed."
Ray looked at Kath, and smiled. "I thank you, mysterious woman. You've saved my life."
-
Kath dropped Ray's paw and scoffed. "Yeah, whatever. I'm just doing what the boss told me to do. Now... Where do you want to go? You need a place to stay. You could stay at the boss's, but only if you want. You could also stay at my place. But... only if you want.
-
Ray shrugged. "I suppose...your place? I mean, unless your employer is expecting me."
-
Kath sighed, shoving her paws into her pants pockets. "Let's just go to my place then. Its cooler there anyways." She began walking in the direction of a dark alleyway. "We'll go through the alleys so that you won't be seen."
-
Zanthe nodded. "Agreed," she said, wincing a bit. "I can't say I'll be as much help as I could be if we get into a fight... I'm still recovering from a stab wound."
-
Ray nodded. "Sounds good, miss...erm...I don't know your name."
Ronnie smiled. "Don't worry, I can hold my own."
-
"Just call me Kath." She called over her shoulder.
-
Ray nodded. "Sounds good, miss...erm...I don't know your name."
Ronnie smiled. "Don't worry, I can hold my own."
"Good," Zanthe said, sniffing the air. "... We're getting close. Hang back when we can see it, maybe we'll learn what's going on."
-
Ray nodded. "Kath it is, then. How far away is your place?"
-
Kath shrugged. "Not too far. We'll be there in no time."
-
Ray sighed in relief. "Good. I haven't had a proper meal or bed in a good while."
-
Ray nodded. "Sounds good, miss...erm...I don't know your name."
Ronnie smiled. "Don't worry, I can hold my own."
(You probably missed this. Our posts went through at similar times.)
"Good," Zanthe said, sniffing the air. "... We're getting close. Hang back when we can see it, maybe we'll learn what's going on."
-
Ronnie nodded. "On your lead, miss."
-
Ronnie nodded. "On your lead, miss."
Zanthe nodded and took the lead, finding a good spot to survey the prison from without being spotted.
-
*Red sighed lighting a cigarette with his tail,he sighed before leaning on a alleyway wall*
-
Ronnie spoke after a few minutes of silence. "And explosive entrance. Someone wanted Ray out worse than we do."
-
Zanthe thought in silence for a moment. "It most likely wasn't the Zambian... unless he's a maniac, he wouldn't free a man who could, in theory, put him away. So who could have sprung him?"
-
Ronnie shrugged. "I don't know. Not sure if Ray had contact with any other gangs, or if someone had kept an eye on him."
-
"Is there any way for us to find out?" the catfox whispered.
-
Ronnie shrugged. "I don't know."
-
Red's shadow began to move as it was almost invisible in the dark alley. Zaida then appeared. "Red long time no see, sensed you were near"
-
"Hello, zaida"*He said, looking forward as he kept smoking*
-
"Egh didn't know you started smoking... Nasty but then again dragons aren't effected of course" she sighed leaning next to him.
-
"Never really was my thing, right?"*he threw the cigarette*"So...."*he looked at her*"What do you want?"
-
"Nothing, why does everyone think I want something... I have no where to go, nothing to do, sensed you were around and came here"
-
You can follow me to my house"
-
"Im so bored...I'm willing to follow you anywhere, even if it were to the gates of hell" she sighed "besides it would be nice to rest, I don't feel like going all the way to my abandon home" the Vexū huffed.
-
Ronnie shrugged. "I don't know."
Zanthe looked over at the explosion area. "... How long do you think it'll take people to clear away?" she asked, getting an idea.
-
Ronnie thought a moment. "Well, the victims will be cleared in a while, but the police will most likely stick around for a few days."
-
Zanthe rubbed her chin. "... Would they care about a random wild animal?" she asked.
-
Ronnie shrugged. "Don't know. Maybe not."
-
Zanthe took a moment to check her wounds. "... How long until the victims are moved out?" she said, checking the sky to see how late it was.
-
Kath and Ray finally made it the front entrance of her apartment building. It was a dingy little place and didn't look like anything anyone would even live in.
-
*He grabbed her arm*"Lets go, follow me"
-
Zaida gave a light growl as he grabbed her arm. Following the ragnos she asked. "Any reason why you wanted me to follow you?" She asked with a huff.
-
"I dont trust you not to stab me"*he looked back at her*'im taking you to my house"
-
The Vexū gave a light sigh through her mouth "Ok, Alright fine..." She gave a gurgle growl looking around Ascension, the full moon out and stars scattered in the sky.
Meanwhile, Devin was in his house as he cleaned up. Stepping out of the shower and drying off and putting his boxers on. He looked in the mirror a few scars throughout his body, the newest when trying to attack who he now called friend. His coat just like a German shepards some visible red saber stripes down his back and short tail. He put on his suit pants, bullet proof vest, white undershirt, and his suit jacket and silky blood red tie. He sighed through his nose before heading out.
-
Ray, after a time, cleared his throat, and looked at Kath. "Y-Your place?"
-
(... Ray, did you reply to Zanthe? o-o I've been waiting like two weeks.)
-
((I think so. Sorry, lots of stuff's been goin' on. Work and such.))
Ronnie looked over at Zanthe, and whispered. "What's your plan?"
-
Zanthe ducked to the other side of Ronnie and started to take her shirt off. "I'm going to go check it out," she said, handing the raccoon her discarded tank top. "Stay here and cover me... and watch my clothes." Her abdomen was still wrapped in bandages.
-
Ronnie nodded, and took Zanthe's clothes."What IS your plan?"
-
Ronnie nodded, and took Zanthe's clothes."What IS your plan?"
Zanthe, now in nothing but her undergarments and the bandages, quickly ducked behind something. "I'm going to scope things out in person," she said. A few moments later, a coyote padded out from behind the dumpster, looked at Ronnie, and seemed to wink at him before scampering towards the prison complex, keeping to the shadows.
-
*Red finally arrived at the apartment complex, it looked like a typical mediocre one you'd find in acension's slums, Red opened the door to the panda landowner, who was sleeping at his desk, Red quietly walked up the stairs before waiting outside a poorly maintained elevator, pressing the button, again and again*"Sticky..."
-
She studied the area her ears laid low. Zaida hit the button with a light hiss. 'Ding' it showed the elevator was on its way down before the doors finally opened.

*red stood, awkward silence is awkward*
-
Zaida finally spoke out. "Why are you taking me here again?" She asked with a silent huff.
-
"Because you'll keep bothering me until i do"*he waited*"And also because you're living conditions are sub-lime at best"
-
Zaida raised a brow. "Ok I suppose the second reason is right, however never planned to bother just so I can go here" she hissed lightly.
-
"hiss again and your gonna have a bad time"*he looked at her, a cold feeling arising in her body*
-
The Vexū didn't fear the ragnos however knew red wasn't messing around "fine..." She said in a calm soothing voice. Then the elevator door's opened up.
-
Two guards stood by the blast zone, scratching their heads as they observed the destruction. "Seems like a terror attack, yeah?" "Maybe, but why a prison? People don't care about the scum in here." They both sighed. "Maybe we should just right it off as a boiler explosion, and be done with it."

Zanthe crept around the guards from a distance, hiding behind a large piece of rubble. Hard to gather evidence her from sight... but from smell... Closing her eyes, the walker inhaled deeply. ....Explosives... so it WAS a prison break.... hmm... and they were placed so that.... Yes. Having gathered the information she needed, Zanthe scampered away from the scene, taking a roundabout way to get back to Ronnie.
-
Ronnie patiently waited for Zanthe to return, her clothes neatly folded and setting atop his shoulder.
-
Ronnie patiently waited for Zanthe to return, her clothes neatly folded and setting atop his shoulder.
Zanthe scampered behind the dumpster and changed back, then walked up to Ronnie; she was still in her underwear and still had bandages wrapped around most of her midriff. "Hey," she said, keeping low.
-
Ronnie smiled, and handed Zanthe her clothes. "Shapeshifter?"
-
Ronnie smiled, and handed Zanthe her clothes. "Shapeshifter?"
Zanthe shrugged. "Something like that," she said, pulling on her pants. "I'll explain later. Now..." Pulling on her tank top, the catfox stepped close, then pulled Ronnie towards her and backed against the wall. "Don't get weirded out," she said, looking from side to side to check for people. "If it looks like we're making out- which I promise that we will not- people won't think as much of us. Plus, it gives us a cover if someone does notice." Zanthe carefully wrapped Ronnie's arms around her upper body so that his hands were on her shoulders, then did the same. "Now... would you like to know what I found?" she whispered silently, her nonchalant face inches from Ronnie's.
-
Ronnie nodded slightly. "Sure. What'd you find?"
-
Ronnie nodded slightly. "Sure. What'd you find?"
"First off, I overheard two guards talking about the incident," Zanthe said. "They're not quite sure what to make of it, and are considering writing it off as a boiler explosion. By sight, it's hard to tell exactly what caused the incident; however, it did not smell like an incident." The catfox kept scanning the area as she talked. "In that other form, I could clearly smell the basic elements used in many explosive devices. However, this particular device was special. It's a sort of bomb that leaves no residue... new on the arms market since last October. Pairing that with the visual evidence made it clear that this was an intentional prison break." The catfox looked into Ronnie's eyes. "With a specific person in mind..."
-
Kath sat back in her couch with her arms crossed behind her head. "A job well done, Kath. Ya did good." She looked over at Ray with a bright smile. "Wouldn't you agree?"
-
Ray nodded. "Better than being in prison. Job well done Miss Kath."
Ronnie nodded. "We figured the breakout was orchestrated to get Ray out." He furrowed his brow. "The equipment isn't standard street issue though...Strange...who would burn that much to get Ray out?"
-
Zanthe shrugged. "That's what we'll have to find out," she said. "So... is it just you, or are there others with you?"
-
Kath beamed so bright she could have matched the intensity of the sun. "The boss'd be crazy to not promote me after this. Just need to lay low long enough to make sure no one's on our tails and you'll be a FREE free man, Rayleonarde."
-
Ray nodded. "I know...it's what keeps me going. So...back to laying low, huh?"
-
Zanthe shrugged. "That's what we'll have to find out," she said. "So... is it just you, or are there others with you?"
Zanthe cocked an eyebrow, patient as she waited for a reply? "Well?" she asked quietly. "Do you work for an organization of some sort?"
-
Ronnie shook his head. "No. I do modeling here and there, but I've done work for a few families. None that Ray would know."
-
*Red woke up next to zaida on the sofa, his tail wrapped around zaida, he jumped awake his tail jolting from her body*
-
*he looked at the time, 7:01 in the morning, he looked at he before laughing nervously*"D- do you want donuts?"
-
"you can bring them here if you need too,i have a pet even!"*he said before pointing at a snake cage*
-
(Zaida past out at the apartment she hasn't slept for a while, simple if anyone is confused)
Devin walked by Big Boss, into the black Rolls Royce Phantom. The windows tinted black and bullet proof along with the tires. A fox Chauffeur, Boss sat on the passenger side, Devon in the back. "I need another guard... Damn Jace had to die on me" Boss grumbled thinking. He scrolled through his phone.
-
"Rosy boa."*he said walking out across the street*
-
"Ja?"*he said to her standing outside "Donkey donuts"
-
"I have a job offer... A body guard. However it's dangerous, most things you'll do will probably be illegal." She sighed. "Your a close friend, and I'd like you to think about this before answering"
"Yes!"*he said looking at her*
-
After a time, Ray spoke up. "Miss Kath? When will your boss know of your actions? Or do you work for anyone?"
Ronnie thought a moment more, before speaking again. "Well...there's a few people I know that may have seen him." He scooped Zanthe, holding her across his chest like one would hold their wife, and started towards the city.
-

Zanthe hissed a little from pain. "Careful!" she whispered. "I'm still injured.... someone stabbed me in the gut pretty effectively."
-
She sighed through her nose. "Yes I got someone who's interested. I know him, he'll be perfect."
The bear smiled sinfully. "Splendid!" He chuckled. "I'll meet you at the king of clubs in an hour" he hung up.
"Alright after the donuts we have to go to the King of clubs" she said.
*he nodded walking into the store*
-
Zaida followed red inside the donut shop thinking what she should get. She looked at the donuts desolated at the front counter.
-
*he looked at the donkey at the front counter,he looked at zaida*"whaddya want?"
-
She thought eying all the donuts before she pointed like a child would "That one" she painted at the glazed donut that was lightly filled with Nutella.
-
*he blinked before pointed at what she pointed at*"She...wants that one"
-
The donkey nods grabbing the donut wearing plastic gloves and put it in a small bag. "Is that all?" He asked red.
-
The donkey nods grabbing the donut wearing plastic gloves and put it in a small bag. "Is that all?" He asked red.
"i'll just have a strawberry donut"
-
He grabbed the strawberry and put it in a small baggy. "2.50" the donkey said.
-
*red gave him 2.50*
-
Ronnie blinked. "Oh! Sorry, didn't realize." He took a turn, suddenly, and stopped at a very pristine, if outdated, black Chevy Bel Air. Ronnie pulled the passenger door open, and set Zanthe inside, shut the door, and climbed into the driver's seat. He pulled carefully away from the prison, and back into the city.

"I've learned how to hide injury quite effectively," Zanthe replied, lifting her shirt and looking at the bandages. "Huh... We should find Devin." The catfox glanced over at Ronnie. "And maybe some fur dye... Also, a model?"
-
(still accepting new people?)
-
(It's a free roam RP, so yes. post a sheet first.)
Arriving to the club they stopped boss and Devon steeping out in their sharp suits and walking inside.
Zaida tapped her sharp retracted claws on the bar, snapping her head around as they walked in. "Here they are" she said standing up.
-

(wasn't sure if there has been a major criminal empire yet!!!)
-
(Several. o-o But no matter. Perhaps you can find some way to take up arms against the worse crime bosses.)
-
*red was eating his donut as he looked at zaida snapher head back, he preceeded to then turn around,looking at the two men who walked in*
-
(Yes claw (one I control) is one of them but who cares this is Ascension!!
I'd like to let you know people don't like Op players here and will maul you and ask you to leave. So please don't, It's how we roll here in this RP~ we cool like that ye! *clears throat* anyways.. Let's continue.)
"Zaida!~" the bear walked with open arms smiling still looking menacing, grey claws long and sharp the middle full silver on both paws with markings carved in. "Lovely to see you dear Goddess!~"
"You know I don't like hugs Big B." she said soothingly with her arms crossed. "Red this is Boss, the man you'll be working for"
he chuckled. "I know... Just messing with ya. So?" He turned to the dragon. "This is red? Hello." He extended out a paw to shake.
-
Kath scoffed. "Yeah they'll be over in an hour or so. You might know one of them." She shrugged.
(Madness you have no idea what kind of hell you just entered XD Don't worry, your death will be a slow and painful one *rubs hands together in evil plot*
-
Ray nodded. "Oh, alright. Who is the one I may know?"
-
Kath shrugged. "I don't know, man."
-
Ray shrugged, and stood. He grabbed a nearby skateboard, and began doing sick-nasty kickflips, grinding off of nearby boxes and handrails, and doing other tricks that'd make Tony Hawk blush.
-
'in an intense meeting in the back of a butcher shop.' "what to do we need more guys and money if we are to face up against these other crime bosses." 'i say to one other. He reply.' "well lets go get some of their boys they will turn over with the proper motivation." 'i say.' "well we could try go get the others." 'he leaves and returns with two others.' "what you need boss?"
-
*Red shook the bears hand, a smile on his face*
-
"follow me." 'we all walk out and into the street.'
-
The bear's hand firmly shook his before letting go. "Hmm. Look like he'll do good huh Devin."
The hybrid by his side gave a simple nod.
The bear leaned over. "And don't try anything funny scalie..." He warned with a low growl. "Well thank you Goddess for you help. I'll see you around dear~ now, let's go boys."
"Goodbye Big.B." Zaida said sitting back on the counter.
Devin followed Boss without any questions.
-
*red kept in a pun before looking at zaida*"so uuh...what now"
-
"He just said he wanted you both. Better hurry and follow him" she huffed getting a drink from the bartender.
Devin waited by the door with a raised brow at red. Silence as he turned of the diamond piece on his throat, usually did in public especially during work.
-
*red realized this before he started running*
-
'seeing a bar down the street.' "ahhhh perfect place to start." 'one of the guys a orange fox asks.' "for what boss?" 'he scratches the back of his head cluelessly.'
-
Devin gave a wave to Zaida, the Vexū giving a nod in return as they left.
The big bear got back in the black Rolls-Royce. Devin sitting in the back with red
Zaida turned back, drinking some water and having some fries sitting at the bar. watching the news on the flatscreen above the displayed drinks.
-
*Red sat with deving,his tail flame fading a bit so it doesn't catch anything on fire*
-
'makes my way down to the bar explaining my plain to the others and when we reach it we see a big bear walk out and get in his car we just pass him and go inside.' "alright y'all ready?" 'opens the door and walks in.'
-
Ronnie blinked. "Oh! Sorry, didn't realize." He took a turn, suddenly, and stopped at a very pristine, if outdated, black Chevy Bel Air. Ronnie pulled the passenger door open, and set Zanthe inside, shut the door, and climbed into the driver's seat. He pulled carefully away from the prison, and back into the city.
"I've learned how to hide injury quite effectively," Zanthe replied, lifting her shirt and looking at the bandages. "Huh... We should find Devin." The catfox glanced over at Ronnie. "And maybe some fur dye... Also, a model?"
(Ray....? )
-
((Sorry! Work and sleep, y'know.))
Ronnie nodded. "Indeed. I've been in the modelling business for quite a while."
-
Zanthe nodded. "I see... You've definitely got a nice face," she said. "So... we've got to find Devin, then grab some fur dye."
-
After a rat named Eric showed red around the building he took him back to Boss, the bear who just came back. "Now depending on the occasion you'll wear a suit, tux, or simple jeans and a tank top. With a bullet proof vest." He said as a ferret scattered off and got red a suit and bullet proof vest "Devin you can go. I appreciate your help with the last meeting" he smiled as the Sabard walked off. "However your going with me red, some new guys and I have chat with them... Thought I was stupid... You believe that?" He chuckled. "Now hurry up and get dressed dragon we have some work, after we may stop at the club, so I can hang with some of my pals."
Devin walked out as he had a tissue wiping the small drop of blood from his nose. He checked his suit, luckily clean. Walking out he wanted to introduce himself to the dragon as they did run into eachother before, but boss wanted to see what he was 'capable of' which meant how well he can beat the hell out of those who didn't compromise, sometimes just to look intimidating, and obviously the main thing was to protect Boss however it was rare to get someone that was stupid enough to threaten or attack him. The Sabard started down the street towards the house, no one knew were he lived. He kept it a secret, didn't want any trouble.
Zaida stayed at the king of clubs, it wasn't very busy usually at night around eight to twelve. A bit dehydrated she continued to drink her water. The Vexū watched the T.v as fights were on her head rested on the bar as she gave a light sigh hearing others walk into the club.
-
Zanthe glanced out the window, searching for Devin.
Cassy kept practicing the shield technique with Vlad.
-
((Is this still open for applications or is it closed?))
-
(It's always open, it's a free roam city RP feel free to put in a sheet crest.)
Devin stopped at a bench, sitting down. He pulled out his phone thinking if he should take a taxi. His ears flicked from the anthros walking about, most avoiding the intimidating hybrid.
-
((Awesome!))

-
Zanthe, spying Devin, glanced over at Ronnie. "Pull up over there," she said, motioning to a place near the bench.
-
((I assume I can just walk in))
*Crest walks into the town with a bag on his back and whistling a small tune.*
-
*Red was in the bathroom, looking at the silky black pinstripe suit with leek black suit pants and a black tie, he felt a thumb over the silver buttons, he started taking off his current clothes before donning the white undershirt and pants, he then continues to put other clothes on before putting his fedora on... he looked in the mirror, feeling his jaw line and horns before walking out the bathroom*
-
(I'm where Zaida and you were Red just to make it clear I just saw y'all say you were near a bar and I didn't know what it was called)
-
(King of clubs, and red left with Boss I'm only there of course with Npc there was well.)
Boss looked at red, head to toe. "Good, your looking nice... We might give you a scale polish and sharpen your horns" he huffed. "Anyways let's go, my men found the little rascals trying to run away" the bear laughed before it faded and he held a pissed off snarl, starting out the building into the black Rolls Royce, sitting in the passenger side.
Devin looked up, still in his suit, wearing his diamond earings, his hair slicked back a silver streak on the left of his hair. He patted the small blood spots around his snout, however having no cuts it wasn't his.
-
(well now I'm there)
-
*He nods*"Sounds good"*his eyes shaded over as he finished the sentence giving a intimidating vibe*
-
Ronnie pulled up to where Zanthe motioned, and sighed. "You're not gonna kill him, are you?"
-
'motions to a both.' "sit there." 'everyone walks over and sits down same for me.'
-
While the bobcat chauffeur Drove them down the street, Boss tapped his claws and tapped his foot. He was on his phone texting. "Yea, trying to lie. Can you believe that red... Liars, to me? I'm offended how stupid do they think we are. I'm a business man" he gruffed as they pulled up to the hotel.
Devin tossed the rag as he finally got the little blood off. Looking at himself in the reflection of his phone screen, giving a sigh through his nose.
Zaida heard the men sitting down at the booth in the bar. She minded herself as she paid the bartender, a silver gecko toned with a neon blue his eyes a mint green. However the Vexū didn't buy anything, as she had the water for quiet some time.
"If any of you men like anything feel free to call me over" the gecko said as he wiped down the bar.
-
"oh no well be fine just here for some business that's all." 'Jack gives the bartender a wide smile and goes back to just messing with his phone.'
-

'Alot of people in acension are stupid"*he said adjusting his orange tie*
-
The bear huffed. "Exactly, I think we'll get along just fine" he walked into the hotel.
A vixen sat at the counter. "Hello B" the red fox winked.
Boss gave a smile to her before entering the elevator, and the doors shut.
-
*Red was with him in the elevator*
-
"alright boys go on find people to join even if it has to get bloody just make sure its taken somewhere else so you don't revel us and you know that ill get a hold of you and you won't like me." 'they all give a scared look at each other and get up and split in different directions leaving Jack by himself.'
-
Zaida ignored the gang, didn't seem like anything to her anyways. However the Vexū sat continued to watch the news carefully, on the flatscreen over the displayed drinks available. As if she was waiting for something.
The Gecko, continued to clean up the bar and tables around the place.
As the elevator doors open boss steps out into the basement. The men sitting down, one being a scronny Looking ferret and the other a mutt of some sort. A hyena an gorilla stood by their side with loaded guns to the head. "Step aside men..." Boss said to the two.
"So you two want to lie? Then can you explain why we didn't receive the order we asked for?" He gruffed. "I didn't ask for crates filled with nothing!" he roared slamming his paw down. "And I've already lost my damn patience!"
-
'Jack scanned the area seeing a Vexū and a Gecko so he decides to head over to the Vexū. He makes his way over.' "hey there." 'Jack smiles at her.' "may I have a seat?"
-
*Red looked at the group his tail saying as his hands had the red brass knuckles on them*
-
Zaida's ears leaned back her cold glowing eyes looking over at him. "I don't care." The Vexū hissed in a soothing tone. She continued to watch as the news showed an early what seem to be murder scene without a trace. Zaida had grabbed her water and took a sip as she turned off the T.V. She already got what she wanted. The club started to get more anthro's, night came and it would soon go busy.
The gecko stopped to look up and at Zaida
"We don't know what happened, could have been a mistake sir..." the mutt whimpered. "We messed up man alright!" The ferret panicked.
"Is that it? A mistake, you don't know? Well it seems to me this was a waste of my time... All I'm hearing is scam. I don't like that at all. Red I want you to teach them how to not scam. Make it snappy, I've already wasted my precious time coming here" he growled turning to the ferret and mutt. "I just want to make this clear boys... No more of this bullshit, or I'll take you both out. I want my money and firearms and ammo by next week, Thursday." He huffed. "They're all yours red"
-
'Jack sits next to her and smiles at the t.v.' "seems like someone had some fun haha. So how is your day going." 'Jack turns the smile to her.'
-
*he grabbed them with telekinesis before slamming them around*
-
Boss watched red, pleased by the whimpering mutt and ferret.
The Vexū gave a soft sigh "Fine." Zaida said simply to the anthro sitting next to her.
-
*He kept tossing them before he looked at his watch*
-
'Jack shakes his head.' "so you know anything about the local crime I'm sorta new here?"
-
"That's it, stop acting cocky now. That's my job" the bear huffed turning to the elevator.
Zaida simply shook her head to the newcomer. The gecko walked over handing her a tea. The Vexū gave a thankful nod to the lizard. "No I don't" she said before taking a sip her tea.
-
"hmh alright thanks though I just don't wan be on the wrong side of town you know." 'Jack smiles.'
-
*He dropped them*
-
Ronnie pulled up to where Zanthe motioned, and sighed. "You're not gonna kill him, are you?"
Zanthe shook her head. "If I was going to kill him, I wouldn't have saved his life," she said, getting out of the car. "I won't be long." Casually, the catfox closed the door and nonchalantly walked up to Devin's bench, being sure not to look too direct. "... Is this seat taken?" she said, looking at Devin.
-
His ears flicked and He looked up to see Zanthe and gave a light smile, The hybrid shook his head. Retracting a dark red almost black claw to turn on the diamond device in the middle of his neck. "Don't think it is" he replied.
Boss huffed. "Let's go, I have plans tonight"
Zaida stayed silent and shrugged to the green and red cat in the purple suit, sipping the tea.

Zaida stayed silent and shrugged to the green and red cat in the purple suit, sipping the tea.
Nodding once, the catfox took a seat beside Devin. "So... are you here alone?" she asked, seeming conversational.
-
He looked at her as The catfox sat next to him "Yea I got off work, surprisingly it was pretty fast. Probably due to the new guy" He sighed a bit relieved.
-
Zanthe nodded, looking around. "... There was an incident at the prison today," she said casually. "Did you hear that explosion?"
-
'Jack shakes his head.' "strong silent type." 'The fox that was with him earlier walks up and whispers into his ear.' "We have a problem boss." "what is it Ajax?" "Charlie is getting into a fight he got it out back but I'm not sure he can win this one." "alright. Can you give me a sec?" 'Jack says to Zadia.'
-
He blinked and faced his body towards her. "No I don't think I did" he said.
Zaida watched him walk off and huffed to herself.
-
Zanthe nodded. "Well, anyway, there's things that can be said about that, but... not in the open," she said, glancing over at Devin. "There's a car waiting right over there, if you'd like to hear more."
-
'When Jack turns away from her the smile widens.' "How many?." 'Jack asks Ajax.' "three sir and they are big." "well lets teach them our names." 'Jack walks out back to see two of his guys and three others not as big as Ajax put them to be.' "Alright what's happened here?" 'Jack asks.' "This idiot threatened us said that wed die if we don't join." 'one of the others say.' "Alright." 'Jack turns to the wolf that is on his side.' "What was that you said to them?"
-
He nods interested what was going on "...Alright." he said standing up. The Sabard started heading to the car.
-
He nods interested what was going on "...Alright." he said standing up. The Sabard started heading to the car.
Zanthe followed Devin to the car and opened the back door for him. "After you," she said.
-
Devin chuckled lightly "ok,thanks" the large hybrids sat in the back of the car. Behind the coon, Ronnie who was driving.
-
Zanthe slipped in beside Devin and closed the door. "Let's stay here for a moment, Ronnie," she said, nodding to the raccoon. After that, she turned to Devin. "So... I should explain now, shouldn't I?" (Wait for Ray or...?)
-
"Boss don't believe them." 'The wolf whimpers.' "Oh I do believe them you are really stupid for doing this you got me in a predicament here." 'Jack says through clenched teeth then he walks to the wolf and kicks his legs out from under him.' "Apparently I have to teach everyone I'm not some bull@#$%er. Hold him down." 'The Fox and Ajax run up and hold his arms down.' "Please Jack don't do it please." 'The wolf whimpers.' "No I will and don't flinch this is gone be painful." 'Jack carves a smile into the wolfs face then slits his throat. He then stands up and checks to make sure no blood got on him.' "Alright get rid of the body." 'Jack says to Ajax.' "And you three mention me and then I will do this to you." 'Jack walks back inside and sits down next to Zaida.' "so where were we?"
-
Cassy whistled a tune as she walked down the street, enjoying the weather somewhat. Rose was doing well, and her training with Vlad had been going stupendously. On top of that, she and the other two had continued to go to the belly dancing classes with May, and she was getting rather good at it. She kept an eye on Ruby, and made sure that she stuck with Rose. I'll have to face her someday, she thought as she headed towards a nearby bar that a friend had recommended. All I can hope for is to be ready when that time comes... but for now, I think I'll get a soda. Ceasing her whistling, the crat pushed the door open, glancing around.
-
"Know what I think ill leave you alone." 'Jack stands up and walks back to his original seat and sits down but looks up when the door is pushed open.'
-
(Well Ray is busy with stuff and I'm sure we'll have to wait a few hours)
Devin nodded fixing his tie before looking back at her. "Yea, Go ahead I'm all ears" the hybrid replied to Zanthe.
Zaida ignores the door, the gang, everyone around. She wasn't pleased how busy it started to get planning on leaving in a bit, besides she was growing a bit hungry.
-
Red looked at Boss before he grabbed his phone*"i need to call somebody"
-
(I'm not sure if there is a big scene going on, so I'll act casually.)
Unaware of the bar's patrons, Cassy made her way to the counter and ordered a Dr. Pepper, taking a seat there.
Zanthe hummed in consent. "Alright... While you were at work, Ronnie and I heard that explosion I mentioned and went to check it out," she began. "Apparently, someone busted a hole in the local jail. I managed to get close enough to better inspect the cause, and it wasn't just an accident as they're going to pass it off to be." The catfox rubbed her side and stared straight ahead, appearing to be deep in thought. "Whoever it was, they used a new form of untraceable explosive to make it look like the boiler blew. I only knew otherwise because I could smell the components... and that's not all." She looked back at Devin. "Did I tell you about Ray, Devin?"
-
"Did I say you could?" Boss said in a rude tone with a slight snarl.
Zaida was currently deep in thought. She stayed quiet. Her glowing eyes stared at her tea as she moved the ice around with her straw, and tail was wrapped around her waist.
Devin listened carefully, obviously interested about the jail break she talked about. Before she questioned about some fur named Ray he thought for a moment. "No" he thought some more. "However I do remember you mentioning him a few times..." He added.
-
"No."*he said looking at him*
-
"Well... He's an acquaintance of mine and a brother to Ronnie and Valentine," Zanthe said. "He got framed for murder, and we've been planning to break him out of jail and... well, clear his name." The catfox gave Devin a calm look, meeting his eyes. "However... it appears that someone's beaten us to it."
Cassy looked around the bar as she waited for her soda to arrive.
-
"Then put your phone away" he growled. "You don't just do whatever you want. Unless I say." The bear snarled. "This is business and what do you think anthro's with think of me when they see you **censor** around on your phone? Hmm? They'll think it's a **censor** joke red, besides your here to watch my back. Anything happens and I get hurt, or happen to die. You." He pointed at red. "Are going to face the consequences" he smiled sinfully. "Is that Understood..."
Devin gave a nod. "Hmm I see, tough position. Obviously had to be someone who happens to know him, and has to be familar with this type of stuff." he gruffed. "Any reason you picked me up?... To help in some way I'm guessing.." He thought. "I have one way how we can find him but could take us to a bad path and take some time."
-
Zanthe raised an eyebrow. "I survived things that would have killed other people," she said. "I'm used to bad paths. But I can't go looking like this... They'll recognize me as being one of Ray's friends." She looked over at Ronnie. "... Do you think you could drive me to my house? Or to a place that sells fur dye?"
-
'Jack looks up and sees a girl by the bar so he stands up and goes and sits by her.' "hey there." 'he says to her smiling.'
-
Ronnie nodded, and brought Zanthe to a fur-dye store, and stopped. "Here you are, miss Zanthe. I know the guy inside, he's a good man."
-
"Yeah i understand"*he said passively, he didn't truly fear the bear, he's seen much more intimidating people*
-
Zanthe nodded once. "Alright... I'll be right back," she said, opening the door and stepping out. "Thank you, Ronnie." Moving quickly, the catfox walked into the store and looked around for the owner.
Cassy, hearing Jack's voice, glanced over at him. "... Hello?" she said, raising an eyebrow.
-
"So how is your day going?" 'Jack smiles a little more.'
-
Coincidentally, yet another purple raccoon ran the store. Much leaner than Ronnie, he was still built like a male model, just not as large as Ronnie.
-
Cassy was unsure what to make of Jack. What's his game...? she thought to herself. Well, I might as well play along. "... It's going well, thanks for asking. I was just dropping by to grab a soda... How about you?"
Zanthe blinked once and shook her head, then walked up to the raccoon. There sure are a lot of purple raccoons in this city... "... Excuse me, sir," she said, bowing slightly. "I'm a friend of Ronnie's, and he said this was the best place to get fur dye."
-
The raccoon blinked, and set the statuette down, gently. "Ronnie...haven't heard that name in a while. Come to visit us, huh?" He smiled, and offered Zanthe his paw. "Well, I'm his brother, Jayce."
-
Zanthe raised an eyebrow and took Jayce's paw, giving him a firm handshake as she successfully repressed a humored expression. That explains it. "Zanthe," she said. "Pleased to meet you."
-
Devin waited in the car silently. He looked out the window watching anthro's walk around, going to restaurants, and stores. The Sabard taking off his suit jacket, wearing his white undershirt.
Boss huffed. "Good." The bear turned walking into the elevator, the doors closing.
-
Jayce smiled. "The pleasure is all mine. Now, what's this about dye?" He leaned against the counter, waiting with a delighted look on his face.
-
"Well me I'm fine but I'm just here waiting for some friends to come here."
-
*Red thought about boss "Hes probably misunderstood...right?"he shook his head before running towards the elevator...the doors didnt feel good when they slammed into his face*
-
Zaida stood, as she made her decision to head out tonight, her blood lust was rising it was hard to hold herself back. She was ashamed but could help herself, she wiped the black cold blood escaping her nose and huffed walking out of the bar with her tea.
Devin was closing his eyes, resting, day dreaming. The hybrid almost touching the top of the car luckily had inches of room.
-
Jayce smiled. "The pleasure is all mine. Now, what's this about dye?" He leaned against the counter, waiting with a delighted look on his face.
Zanthe shrugged. "Well... This isn't my natural color," she said. "You see, I have a bit of a ... birthmark on my lower back that I try to keep hidden, but recently, my... well, I've misplaced my dyes and my current dye job is starting to fade." Good thing my contacts weren't in the fake house when it exploded... those would have been tricky to replace.

"Well me I'm fine but I'm just here waiting for some friends to come here."
Cassy paid for her drink when it arrived. "Neat," she said, taking a sip.
-
Jayce nodded. "Alright..." He suddenly plucked a few strands of fur from Zanthe, and nodded. "I'll get this done up quick."
-
"So what do you do around here?"
-
"I work at a cafe," she said, smiling gently. "Among... other things. How about you?" She looked Madness up and down. "...Something that lets you wear purple?"
-
"I don't really have a set job I'm my own boss you can say." 'jack straightens his tie.'
-
Zanthe didn't flinch; the pain of having a few hairs plucked was minor compared to what she'd been through in the past few years. "Those are dyed... does it matter?" she asked.
Cassy raised an eyebrow. "Well, good for you," she said. "How's it working out?"
-
Jayce nodded. "That's what I needed. The dye composition."
-
Zanthe nodded. "Alright... Would you like me to wait here?" she asked.
-
Jayce nodded. "Yep. Just wait there." He slipped to the back room, and the whir of machinery filled the air.
-
Zanthe waited patiently, looking around at the place from where she stood.
-
After a few minutes, Jayce returned with two bottles of dye, exactly the color Zanthe was now. "Here you are. That's five ninety-nine."
-
After a few minutes, Jayce returned with two bottles of dye, exactly the color Zanthe was now. "Here you are. That's five ninety-nine."
Zanthe raised an eyebrow and tugged her wallet out of her pocket. "...Five dollars and ninety-nine cents, or five-hundred and ninety-nine dollars?" she asked, still a bit curious how he did that so fast.
-
Jayce smiled. "Five dollars, and ninety-nine cents." After a moment, he spoke again. "Of course, I could part with it for free, if you do me a favor."
-
Zanthe thought for a moment. I really don't mind paying for it, but... he's peaked my interest with this favor. "...What would that favor be, before I make a decision?" she asked.
-
Jayce smiled. "A...friend...of mine. He went and ordered dye, and hasn't payed. I would like for you to find him, and...collect...what he owes, about a hundred and fifty dollars. Guy's name is Maurice, and he owns a small barber shop a few minutes walk down the street." He rubbed his paws together. "Make sure he won't forget to pay next time, savvy?"
-
Jayce smiled. "A...friend...of mine. He went and ordered dye, and hasn't payed. I would like for you to find him, and...collect...what he owes, about a hundred and fifty dollars. Guy's name is Maurice, and he owns a small barber shop a few minutes walk down the street." He rubbed his paws together. "Make sure he won't forget to pay next time, savvy?"
Zanthe sighed and shrugged. "I'll see what I can do," she said, nodding and walking out, leaving the dye behind with Jayce. Walking over to the car, she knocked on the driver's window.
-
"its going well you can say."
-
Cassy nodded, taking another drink of soda. "Good to hear," she said. "... Do you have a name, by any chance?"
-
"Its Jack. Do you I'm sure such a pretty lady will have a pretty name to go with it?"
-
*Red sighed before pushing the elevator button, he waited for a few seconds before the doors opened and he walked in*
-
Cassy looked over at Jack and stuck her tongue out. "Cassandra," she said. "Cassandra Windtail."
-
"Can I call you Cassy I like the sound of it and it goes with you?" 'Jack sticks his tongue out back at her.'
-
Ronnie rolled the window down, and smiled. "Good morn, marm. Need a lift?"
-
"Can I call you Cassy I like the sound of it and it goes with you?" 'Jack sticks his tongue out back at her.'
Cassy smirked gently. "Sure... Others call me that, anyhow," she said, fluttering her wings.
Zanthe gave Ronnie a light smile back. "In a minute... The owner asked me to do him a favor," she said. "I'm just going to be visiting a barber shop down the road for a minute or two."
-
"Alright that's nice," 'Jack leans forward onto the counter.'
-
Ronnie sighed. "Jayce is sending you, isn't he?"
-
Zanthe shrugged. "I was curious what he would ask... and it seems fair enough," she said.
Cassy finished her soda and stood for a moment, stretching a little. Her jacket rode up slightly, revealing part of her hips.
-
'Jack looks over when she stands up and looks at her hip smiling then looks back over at the bar.'
-
Sighing happily, Cassy straightened out her jacket and resumed her seat. "So Jack," she asked nonchalantly. "Do you like soda?"
-
(Facepalms irl. You already asked and I told you.)

"Meh I mostly drink water I believe it is the fountain of youth." 'Smiles a little knowing it seems strange to say.'
-
(It was a simple mistake. Damn.)
Devin was in the car still. He slept peacefully and quietly, tired due to so much work. Besides it seemed like the best time. He could wake up when he needed to... And If the coon that drove even tried something funny, he could take him. However it was the least thing in his mind as he rested himself.
Zaida sat on a building sipping tea. She had left the bar since it got packed... She tried blocking the voices as it only grew worse, her bloodlust. She bit her straw with frustration... Dammit I was doing so good... the veins in her eyes slightly visible, turning black.
-
(I know it was just a laugh haha sorry)
-
*Red sat in his house on his sofa, watching late night tv... maily shitty drama shows. but hey atleast he ahad time to think about his job*
-
Cassy chuckled. "Well, water is thought to be a major life source," she said, looking into Jack's eyes.
-
"Well I would hope so." 'Jack looks into her eyes with a flash of playfulness in my eyes.'
-
Cassy chuckled, smiling widely. "Are you... busy at all?" she asked, swishing her tail.
-
'Jack looks behind him towards the back door and frowns.' "I don't think so I think my friends can handle themselves now." 'Jack looks back at her and smiles.'
-
Ronnie nodded, almost sadly. "Just...don't do anything we'll regret, yeah?"
-
Zanthe nodded. "I didn't intend to," she said, walking off towards the barber shop.
"I see," Cassy said, smiling back. "Well... could I interest you in a walk in the park?"
-
"I guess we could." 'At that moment Ajax runs up with a smidge of blood on the back of his hand.' "Ummmm sir I don't think anyone wants to join us." 'Jack frowns at the statement at the fact no one wants to fight against some of the other crime bosses and at the blood.' "Ajax keep looking if you come back with another statement like that ill cut your tongue...." 'Jack stops holding back his anger for Casey and he didn't want to kill Ajax.'
-
Cassy stared. "... Isn't that a bit... harsh?" she asked.
-
'Jack swallows and smiles.' "Not in my kind of business now lets get out of here before he tempts me." 'Jack stands up and offers his hand.'
-
Cassy nodded slowly, paying for her soda and standing up. "Well... okay," she said, taking Madness' hand. "Let's go."
-
'Jack smiles and walks to the door holding it open.' "Ladies first."
-
Cassy smiled awkwardly and walked through first, holding it for Jack. "So... what do you like doing?" she asked, pulling her jacket closer around her.
-
'Jack shifts uncomfortably at the question when he walks through the door.' "I enjoy... managing my business."
-
Cassy cocked an eyebrow as she let the door go. "Well that's ambiguous," she said. "... Do you like magic?"
-
"Magic I like cruder ways of... thevermind just my crazy side talking but I've never tried it.
-
Cassy grinned. "Well then... would you perhaps want to see something kind of cool?" she asked, swishing her tail.
-
"Sure don't see a reason to not see it." 'Jack turns to her and watches patiently.'
-
Cassy cocked an eyebrow, then widened her eyes. "Oh... right here and now? Okay," she said, unzipping her jacket with a shiver as the wind touched her bare midriff. "Okay... are you ready?"
-
"Is there a problem." 'Jack looks down at the jacket getting unzipped.'
-
As Jack looked down, he got a decent view of the crat's slender, gray-furred belly. "It works a little better when nothing's blocking my core," Cassy said, smiling and holding out her hands. "Also, I got you to look at me." She stuck her tongue out playfully and winked.
-
'Jack took her hands and smiled and winked back at her.' "What are you doing?"
-
Smiling slyly, the crat tensed her midriff slightly and all of a sudden, her hands lit up with a bright light.
-
"Hey what is this. This better not be no mind reading crap." 'Jack attempts to pull his hands away but thinks different and lets them rest there.'
-
Cassy chuckled and relaxed her body, the glow ceasing. "I'm not reading your mind," she said. "It's just light magic."
-
"Oh alright you don't want to know the things up here." 'Jack knocks on his head.'
-
Cassy smirked as she zipped her jacket back up. "Why, were you tempted to split me open?" she said, giggling.
-
"I have problems." 'Jack looks over and sees running outside to us.' "What now man." 'He comes up and says.' "Boss we got someone." 'Jack looks at her.' "Can I go maybe we can talk some other time."
-
Cassy smiled. "Sure," she said, handing Madness a card. "I work at this shop."
-
"Alright." 'Ajax and Jack head back inside and sit down with a group of young men nowhere even older then 25.' "What is this." 'Jack says looking at the group.' "They want to join." 'Jack looks back at the group.' "Can you kill someone?" 'One of the boys respond.' "Of course we can." 'Jack smiles and hands him a pistol.' "Kill me then shoot me under the table you gotta be prepared to go to prison if your gona join." 'The boy gets unsettled and puts the gun on the table and leaves followed by the group.' "Exactly see Ajax no guts." "Yes sir ill keep looking." 'Ajax leaves Jack at the table.'

Cassy stretched and went back to work at the magic/supernatural shop that she helped out in.
-
Within the barbershop was an older bull, his body aged but not withered. He was cleaning his hands with a white cloth.

Within the barbershop was an older bull, his body aged but not withered. He was cleaning his hands with a white cloth.
Zanthe carefully entered the shop, externally cool but internally nervous. I don't want to hurt him... or threaten him. I just need to convince him to pay... "... Hello," she said, raising a hand and looking around to see if anyone else is around.
-
The bull nodded, and smiled. "Hello, miss. You've an air of danger about you, care for a haircut?" The barbershop was empty, completely devoid of any sort of commerce.
-
Zanthe played with her hair a little. Come to think of it, my hair has gotten rather long... And he really needs the business. No wonder he hasn't been able to pay Jayce back... "... Sure," she said, smiling gently at Maurice.
-
*Kraytav was driving to his work as a SWAT member*
-
Maurice smiled, and offered Zanthe a seat.
-
Zanthe carefully took a seat. "So... how long have you been in this business?" she asked.
-
Maurice draped an apron around Zanthe, to keep her hair from her clothes, and sighed. "A few years. Been tryin' to make my way here, but...y'know." He chuckled, and prepared his tools.

-
Maurice draped an apron around Zanthe, to keep her hair from her clothes, and sighed. "A few years. Been tryin' to make my way here, but...y'know." He chuckled, and prepared his tools.
"It's kind of a slow area, right?" she asked, waiting patiently.
-
Maurice sighed. "Now that my supplier's been selling his own stuff, yeah..."
-
Zanthe cocked an eyebrow. "Supplier?"
-
Maurice nodded. "Yeah, young raccoon. Jayce. He was a good kid, until he started asking me for more and more money. I couldn't keep up. Anyway, how do you want your hair?"
-
Maurice nodded. "Yeah, young raccoon. Jayce. He was a good kid, until he started asking me for more and more money. I couldn't keep up. Anyway, how do you want your hair?"
Zanthe looked in the mirror for a moment "... A little shorter than shoulder-length, maybe," she replied.
-
Maurice chuckled. "No 'maybe's miss, I can't grow your hair back if you want it longer."
-
Zanthe thought for a moment. ".... Perhaps shoulder-length," she said. "Then maybe I can see how I feel about it?"
-
Maurice nodded, and went to work. After a few seconds, he spoke again. "So, been here long?"
-
Zanthe shrugged. "A few months, maybe... I'm still getting the feel of the place."
-
Maurice sighed. "It's a strange place, to be sure. Watch yourself, though. Lotsa bad groups out there."
-
Zanthe got a pensive look on her face, staying still. "There sure are," she said. "So... Jayce used to supply for you, right? So how does a lack of dyes draw customers away?
-
Maurice finished with Zanthe's hair, and was reaching for a hand mirror. "Well, he didn't used to do hair dye, professionally. I do, but no one wants to 'cause Jayce charges less."
-
Zanthe nodded gently. "I see.... so why don't you two pair up again, perhaps?" she said.
-
Maurice sighed. "He won't. Too ambitious, and he can't stand my aged ways." He held up the hand mirror, and showed Zanthe her hair.
-
Maurice sighed. "He won't. Too ambitious, and he can't stand my aged ways." He held up the hand mirror, and showed Zanthe her hair.
Zanthe cocked her head and smiled gently. "... It's perfect," she said, smiling at Maurice. (... Since I play D&D and am also not sure how to read text, I'm not sure who to go with here. However.... I may be doing something soon.)
-
Maurice smiled back. "Alright, that's $5.50." He walked off to the register.
-
Zanthe nodded and stood, walking over to the register. "... You're a rather nice man, you know that?" she said, giving him a ten dollar bill.
-
Maurice nodded, and went to dole out Zanthe's change. "I try."
-
Zanthe held up a hand. "Please... keep the change," she said, smiling gently.
-
Devin still remained asleep in the car, eventually laying down in the back seats of the car. It was obvious he hasn't been getting proper sleep however even while he rest he was cautious and a light sleeper sometimes.
Zaida was at Devins house as he had asked her to take care of Vivi, his kitten until he wasn't busy... However did plan to stop by before they went of to find the coon or he hoped at least. The two were like brother and sister so the Vexū didn't mind, besides she had a soft spot for animals and enjoyed relaxing at the house and eating some of his food. She sat in the couch, Viveka the Lynx point Siamese slept on her lap while being pet.
-
Maurice blinked. "W-Wha~..O-Okay, if you say so." He smiled happily as he put the money in the drawer below the cash register. "Please come again, miss...erm..."
-
"...Kalonike," Zanthe replied, running a hand through her hair. I have no idea if anyone's heard of me in this place, so I'd best use an alias. "And I shall." The catfox grinned at Maurice sincerely.
-
"Kalonike...I will remember you." Maurice smiled. "Well, miss Kalonike, I hope you have a wonderful day." He whistled quietly as he moved to sweep the clippings from the floor.
-
"Kalonike...I will remember you." Maurice smiled. "Well, miss Kalonike, I hope you have a wonderful day." He whistled quietly as he moved to sweep the clippings from the floor.
"You as well, sir," Zanthe replied, walking out the door and heading down the street. ....Now to deal with Jayce. -_-
-
Jayce was seated in his salon, cleaning a rather wicked looking blade. He was adamant Zanthe would bring his money back, but it wasn't any skin off his nose.
-
Zanthe walked into Jayce's store. "Hey," she said, keeping a nonchalant expression.
-
Jayce smiled wolfishly. "So, you get that old bull to pay up, or was a shakedown required?"
-
*red was outside Boss´ room*
-
"How much did he owe you again?" Zanthe said, purposefully ignoring Jayce.
-
Jayce sighed. "Did you not get my money?"
-
Zanthe showed no sign. "How much?" she repeated, glancing around to see if the shop had any cameras.
-
Jayce sighed. "I'll take that as a 'no', and you plan on paying him off?" He chuckled, and shook his head.
-
Zanthe acted unfazed, staring him down. "You're going to be paid, one way or another," she said.
-
Jayce suddenly drove the knife into the counter, all the way to the hilt, and grit his teeth. "That's not the point. Maurice needs to learn, that I won't stand for him getting away without giving me my money."
-
"How do you expect him to give you money when he hardly gets anyone in there?" Zanthe asked calmly. "You see the point there." Shrugging, Zanthe pulled out 5.58. "If you wanted someone to do your dirty work, you could have asked someone else."
-
Jayce shrugged. "I don't know, and I don't care. I WILL collect my money, he can bet his hide on that."
-
Zanthe placed the money on the counter. "Yeah, that's interesting," she said, taking the dye bottles. "Have you ever considered just... going back and working for him, perhaps?"
-
Jayce shook his head. "I will NEVER work under him again." He pulled the knife from the counter, and put it away. "He has no idea what he's doing."
-
Jayce shook his head. "I will NEVER work under him again." He pulled the knife from the counter, and put it away. "He has no idea what he's doing."
Zanthe cocked an eyebrow nonchalantly. "How so?"
-
Jayce looked at Zanthe, with a touch of anger and concern. "Did you give him your real name?"
-
Zanthe shrugged. "No," she said. "Frankly, I'm not sure who to trust in this situation, but the thing is, your brother trusts you." The catfox looked at Jayce. "So tell me what's going on, alright?"
-
Jayce seemed relieved, more or less. "Good. Don't ever, EVER, give that man your name, or anything he can pin on you. He's not all that he seems." He then sighed. "I used to help Maurice with trafficking, of all sorts. You name it, we move it. He owes me hush money, but I'm not one to run to the cops quite yet. Not until I can get away with it."
-
Zanthe nodded. "Right... Well," she said. "Maybe you should check me for bugs."
-
Jayce nodded. "Alright, come here. Did he cut your hair?"
-
Zanthe nodded and just walked closer, offering her head to Jayce. Not that he'd have heard anything anyway... I have something for bugs.
-
Jayce poked around in Zanthe's hair, and after a few moments withdrew a small mechanical device, and crushed it between his fingers. "There, bug free."
-
Zanthe nodded once. "Right. So why'd you leave him for real?"
-
Jayce sighed. "I told you, we moved all kinds of stuff throughout this city, and the ones nearby. Maurice kept killing potential inventory, and I did my best to keep quiet. He owes me hush-money, and I plan on collecting."
-
Zanthe shrugged. "Alright... so it's like that," she said, cocking an eyebrow. "Well, I'll go back there once my hair is long again, alright?" The catfox shrugged. "I have measures against bugs."
-
Jayce shrugged. "Be my guest. I still need my money, and I've no intention of getting it myself, he'd shoot me on the spot like the coward he is." He sighed heavily, and sat in a nearby armchair, massaging his temples. "I should just kill him. Get rid of this awful headache."
-
Jayce shrugged. "Be my guest. I still need my money, and I've no intention of getting it myself, he'd shoot me on the spot like the coward he is." He sighed heavily, and sat in a nearby armchair, massaging his temples. "I should just kill him. Get rid of this awful headache."
Zanthe raised an eyebrow. I wonder how much he knows about the Zambian, if anything. "... I doubt your brother would appreciate you landing in jail," she said. "Especially after... well, I shouldn't say."
-
Jayce smiled. "You don't give me enough credit, miss Zanthe. Ray's little predicament is one crafted by himself. He shouldn't have tried to rob the casino."
-
"Well, I've heard that it wasn't his fault that he got imprisoned," Zanthe said casually. "Actually... there was a mention of a strange group cleaning out his house. Including a strange man in a mask..."
-
Jayce sighed. "Please don't tell me he got into another gang?"
-
Zanthe shook her head. "Actually, from what I've heard, his sister had gone missing... and these people suddenly showed up with her," she said, looking at Jayce. "Jayce... are you part of any gangs? Answer me honestly."
-
Jayce shook his head, smiling. "Just myself, and that stint I did with Maurice."
-
Jayce shook his head, smiling. "Just myself, and that stint I did with Maurice."
Zanthe nodded. "Alright," she said. "Have you ever heard of the Zambian?"
-
(I have returned from the fathomless depths of where the Outer Gods rest, and I bring a fancy little character sheet with me :D)
Name: Ophelia Bell
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Height: 5'6"
Species: Siamese Cat
Appearance: Ophelia has the fur design of what you'd expect from a Siamese cat, along with crystal blue eyes. Although she enjoys wearing skirts and short sleeve shirts when in the security of home, she'll wear a heavy suit and a paper bag over her head when outside of her home. She does this to try and conceal her appearance, due to her extreme fear of men.
Bio: Raised by overprotective parents, Ophelia was taught to believe that all men are evil and only existed to drive her away from a good life. Because of this, she lived a childhood of paranoia, avoiding all contact with other boys and being homeschooled. When she became 19, Ophelia was forced to move out of her parents' home and move to the city, where she spends her time completing collage within the security of her apartment room. However, longing to enjoy the outside, Ophelia decided to explore the city by disguising herself as a man, although the idea of having a paper bag over her head may not have been the smartest idea.
-
Jayce blinked. "W-Why do you ask?"
-
Devin opened his eyes, his cat pupils adjusting to the light that now shined through the windows into his blood red eyes. He sat up and rubbed his eyes and snout, looking around. Oh right. In the car.
-
Jayce blinked. "W-Why do you ask?"
Zanthe regarded Jayce with a cool, calm expression, but internally, her mind was processing his every move. He knows something... the stammer and the blink are evidence of that. But how much does he know? And would he have ever helped someone kidnap his own sister....? "Well... there are words on the street about him," she replied. "That he may have had something to do with putting your brother in jail.... and for making him commit his more recent crimes."
-
Jayce wiped his brow, nervously. "R-Ray...got in bad with the Zambian?"
-
Zanthe looked at Jayce with the same expression, but lifted one eyebrow slightly. "You seem tense, Jayce," she said. "Care to enlighten me as to why?"
-
Jayce sighed. "T-The Zambian...Thought we killed him. He's not someone you want to deal with, I should know." He turned slightly, showing his tail-less posterior. "Takes what he wants, when he wants."
-
Jayce sighed. "T-The Zambian...Thought we killed him. He's not someone you want to deal with, I should know." He turned slightly, showing his tail-less posterior. "Takes what he wants, when he wants."
Zanthe's eyebrow lowered. "... 'We' killed him?" she asked. "You tried to kill him before?" The catfox noted Jayce's lack of a tail... and, internally, became a little nervous.
-
Jayce nodded. "M-Me..a-and a few others. W-We were trying to...uh...g-get money for...erm...I-I can't remember who's operation, we just needed it. Hitting...him...was the only way we could get the money we needed. B-But...you can guess how that turned out."
-
"Just a guess... you're one of a sparse group of survivors from that ordeal?" she asked. "Or perhaps the only one?"
-
Jayce, after a few moments, spoke. "Y-You don't...you don't work for him, do you?"
-
Jayce, after a few moments, spoke. "Y-You don't...you don't work for him, do you?"
Zanthe shook her head. "No," she said. "I'm just a concerned acquaintance of certain people... and someone who does not smile upon the harming of children or young adults."
-
Jayce sighed. "Three of us. I don't know where they are, but they're alive and trying to forget."
-
Jayce sighed. "Three of us. I don't know where they are, but they're alive and trying to forget."
Zanthe nodded and looked at Jayce. "... I take it he doesn't know you're alive?" she asked.
-
Jayce nodded. "Y-Yeah, he's got no idea."
-
"I see," Zanthe replied. "Tell me... do I look all that threatening?"
-
Jayce shook his head. "I-It's not you I'm-" he stopped to clear his throat "I'm worried about the Zambian."
-
Zanthe nodded. "I am aware," she replied. "He uses silver bullets... wears a mask... and is a careful man."
-
Jayce nodded. "Yeah..." After a few moments of silence, Jayce looked worried again. "H-He's not here...not in the city? Right?"
-
Zanthe shrugged. "I have no idea," she said. "But yes.... so you may want to lay low for a while."
-
Jayce blinked, and quickly closed the store, and drew the blinds shut, locking the door behind him. "S-So, t-the Zambian is here?"
-
Jayce blinked, and quickly closed the store, and drew the blinds shut, locking the door behind him. "S-So, t-the Zambian is here?"
Zanthe nodded. "From what I can tell... he nearly killed another acquaintance of mine," she said. "Also, he kidnapped Valentine, but recently returned her."
-
Jayce seemed physically hurt by this news. He stumbled over himself, as he sat in a nearby salon chair, and then held his head. "N-No...n-no way."
-
Zanthe walked over and sat in the chair beside him. "...We're safe to talk here, right?" she said. "I'm sorry if the news is troubling, but if you're going to know... I should let you know as much as is relevant." The catfox casually looked around. "So it would be nice to know if anyone else is listening."
-
Jayce nodded shakily. "Y-Yeah, we're alone."
-
(I am back...after going through a bunch of crap that I would rather not discuss right now.)
-
(Welcome back.)
Zanthe nodded. "And there are no recording devices?"
-
(Where is everyone?)
-
(Where is everyone?)
(Zanthe is talking to Jayce, Ronnie and Devin are in a car outside Jayce's salon, Valentine is still with Kammy and Clover, Ray is with Acon, and.... I'm not sure about anyone else. Oh, Cassy is back in training with Vlad. Rose is still in the hospital.)
-
(Ok ithink I remember what was last said with Vlad and Cassy, but not Kammy, clover and Valentine. Also Rose will be coming out of the hospital by now probably.)
Vlad clapped his hands as cassy created the shield.
"Good job, now let's..." his phone started ringing. He check it and it was rose.
"Give me as second." Vlad answered and started talking, in a series of clicks, clacks, and hisses.
-
Cassy waited patiently, keeping her guard up,
-
Vlad hangs up and sighs.
"Rose is being checked out of the hospital and wants us to come pick her up. Let's pause training for today and go see how she is holding up." Vlad says and goes to turn off the machine. Outside though there is a familiar face walking by the plexus glass window, Ruby. She hadn't noticed us yet but Vlad was glaring at her.
-
Cassy, noticing Vlad's glare, followed his line of sight. "... Shoot," she said, quickly pulling her jacket on and zipping it up. "Did she see us?"
-
Ruby walked past and was heading to the target practice area, but someone was with who did see us. Another well dressed male peacock who look even more intimidating than Ruby and when he looked at Vlad his eyes seemed like they were on fire. Vlad noticed one thing though that intrigued him, Ruby actually looked legitimately scared of him.
"No...but I wonder who that is?"
(By the way just for future reference that is Ruby's dad and if you have ever watched avatar the last air bender...Ruby has the same relationship Zuko had with his dad, Firelord Ozen.

(That explains quite a lot.)
Cassy glanced at the man and at Ruby as they walked past. "...Whoever he is, he's got Ruby scared featherless," she said to Vlad when they were out of earshot. "Maybe there's a reason she acted the way she did...."
-
"Maybe...but even so if she turns on us we should be ready. Especially if that man decides to join in." Vlad said as the man showed power in every aspect of the word. When they were out of sight Vlad went to the door and held it open for you.
"Come on, we shouldn't keep Rose waiting."

Cassy nodded and walked through, holding the door for Vlad after doing so.

(Okay....)
Cassy waited for Vlad to walk through.

Name: Ruby Zoravich
Age: 23
Height: 5ft 10inches
Weight:163
Species: peacock
Clothing: see picture
Personality: anger issues, takes out her issues on other people, has low self esteem thanks to her father.
Other(put stuff that can enhance the character or stuff)
She is the daughter of one of the richest men in the Ascension city, Lysander D. Zoravich. Her father is a cruel, evil man who expects nothing but perfection from any of his children...which Ruby has issues keeping up with. The family runs a massive steel producing company and all of them of fire benders
Ruby is supposed to marry the son of another rich family as part of business deal Lysander made. However she hates the man and wants nothing to do with him let alone marry him...but she is not sure if she could defy her father without getting taught a lesson...again.
-
Cassy, as she waited, casually watched Ruby walking from a distance.
-
Vlad was paying for the time they spent there and followed you out of the building right afterwards.
(Time skip to hospital?)
-
(Sure.)
Cassy walked briskly up to the hospital, holding the door for Vlad.
-
"I thought I was supposed to be the chivalrous one." Vlad joked as he entered.
Rose was in the lobby sitting in front of the chairs, since there was no way she could sit in one. There was a fairly good sized scar with stiches in it on her forehead.
-
Cassy rushed over as much as she could while walking. "Rose," she said, smiling widely. "I'm glad you're alright."
-
Rose was startled as she heard Cassy coming and held a hand to heart was when she saw who was.
"Oh greetings Cassy, yes I am alright...I guess." She appeared to be forcing some sort of smile, but it was of course hard to tell when you have mandibles instead of a mouth.
Vlad switched back into body guard mode and surveyed the area while standing close.
"I hope the servants took care of you in my absence." He said.
-
Ignoring Vlad, Cassy lowered her ears a bit. "... Let's get you home. We can talk there, okay?" she asked, hugging Rose carefully.
-
(Apparently my game ended sooner than expected, mostly cause it was cake walk. :/)
Rose hugged back with all four arms.
"Yes...and thank you." Rose says and while Vlad is signing Rose out, another Thri-kreen dressed in military garb comes up with a set of printed documents.
"Here is the information on Ruby Zoravich you requested, Vlad."
-
(Apparently my game ended sooner than expected, mostly cause it was cake walk. :/ )
Rose hugged back with all four arms.
"Yes...and thank you." Rose says and while Vlad is signing Rose out, another Thri-kreen dressed in military garb comes up with a set of printed documents.
"Here is the information on Ruby Zoravich you requested, Vlad."
Cassy raised her eyebrows slightly, but sighed and just kept hugging Rose. I keep forgetting that she's a princess.... of course she has a spy network....
-
Vlad takes the papers and goes through them.
"We should get going, I'll read this as we walk and we'll see how important Ruby really is." He say. Rose hugs a little bit longer before letting go.
"...yes, thank you Vlad." Rose says.
(Another time skip to Rose's hotel suite?")
-
(Sounds good.)
Cassy slipped her jacket off; she'd been looking a bit stronger as of late due to a growth spurt and Vlad's training. "So... what are we looking at?" she asked, gently taking a seat if she was allowed to.
-
(Quick description of the room.)
The room was extremely lavish and there were quite a few items that looked really expensive. There are a couple maids that go around doing their routine cleaning and there are plenty of weird items. When Rose enter's, a large cockroach the size of a Boston Mastive comes scurrying to greet her. It climbs on her and licks her face with a long tongue.
"Oh! Missy is good to see you too! I know I have been gone for to long haven't i?" Rose says hugging the cockroach apparently named Missy. Vlad leads cassy into another room to talk.
"Sorry you had to see that, Rose is very fond of Missy." He say and pulls out the documents.
"As for what we have found on Ruby, it turns out she is the daughter of one of the richest families in Acension city, the Zoravich family. They have their hands in a number of businesses, some illegal but the business they are most known for is Lysander's Steel which is the biggest provider of steel in this area."
-
Cassy nodded. "Right... so there's a lot of pressure on her then?"
-
Jayce nodded. "There's n-nothing here but you and me."
-
Zanthe closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them. "Where would you like me to start explaining?" she asked.
-
Cassy nodded. "Right... so there's a lot of pressure on her then?"
"Yes but there is more. Her whole family is a bunch of fire benders, which seems appropriate considering there main business is melting iron into steel. The most powerful bender in the family is in fact Ruby's father, Lysander D. Zoravich the third who is known to be a cruel man both in business and people in general. A known perfectionist, he is a master of the blue flame art and so are his two sons, but not Ruby. There have been multiple cover ups of him abusing Ruby through out her childhood, very physically and more than once she was sent to the hospital with burns. However we had to do serious digging to find that out, it had almost gone completely off record.
Currently Ruby is getting ready to marry one Renault Burgensan's sons who owns a slightly smaller business in the oil industry. It is part of a deal Lysander made with Renault to join the two companies in a partnership, but there is no record of Ruby ever consenting to marriage or being anywhere near the man she is supposed to marry. My guess is she never wanted to marry him in the first place."
-
Jayce sighed. "Just tell me w-what you know, please."
-
Zanthe nodded. "Okay. The Zambian kidnapped Valentine at gunpoint, threatening to harm her parents if she did not comply. With her in his custody, he then manipulated Ray to do things for him in return for Valentine's freedom. The casino job was the last one. He and I had become acquainted, so I would have known his face if I saw him on the main floor." The catfox leaned in close. "...He treated a wound I had."
Cassy nodded. "I'd imagine that's enough to put anyone on edge," she said, looking at her feet. "Perfectionism can be hell to deal with... even if it's not your own."
-
(I just realized what should I do with Kammy and Clover?)
-
(Yes, what is that? Also, could you please reply to Cassy? o/-/o)
-
(Oh...I never noticed that.)
"Yes her wedding is actually happening today. I am interested in seeing what hap..." Vlad's phone rings. He answers it and speaks in his people's language again.
"Turns out the church is on fire where the wedding was to happen." He says.
-
Cassy stood up. "Right. We should probably head over there," she said, grabbing her jacket.
-
"Yes." Vlad grabbed his swords and ran to the door.
Meanwhile Ruby was running through the streets in singed and torn wedding dress. She had torn the bottom of the dress so she could run with out tripping. She darted around a corner and hid behind a trash bin as a limo drove by, undoubtedly her dad's.
What happened at the wedding was when she was standing at the alter and was asked to say "I do", she literally blew up screaming "I don't!". She seriously hurt her would be husband and several others but luckily everyone got out.
-
Cassy followed after Vlad, sticking her wings through the holes in her jacket. "Let's see," she murmured, closing her eyes and focusing as she tried to get a bead on Ruby's location.
-
Ruby was crying behind a dumpster not really going anywhere as she had escaped her father's wrath.
"Where is she?" Vlad asks. Rose was to stay behind as she would just slow us down.
-
Cassy opened her eyes. "She's behind a dumpster about twelve blocks away," she said. "She's crying, too."
-
"Seems my guess was right, let's careful though. We didn't exactly make the best first impression." Vlad says and keeps running.
Pretty soon the crying does becomes audible.
-
Cassy carefully approached the noise, keeping her wits about her. ".... Ruby?" she whispered quietly.
-
Ruby stopped crying for a moment and peeked around the corner.
"...you!" She looks angry as we are the last people she wanted to see. Her flames start up as she get up off the ground.
"...i'll let you handle this...I am not the best diplomat." Vlad mutters to cassy.
-
Cassy nodded and carefully held out a hand. "Ruby... I don't want to fight you, okay?" she said.
-
"Well maybe I want! Maybe I want you suffer, burn, feel all the pain that I feel everyday!" Ruby says as her eyes starts steaming. She was clearly crying but the tears turned to steam as soon as they left her eyes.
-
Cassy, her ears lowered, slowly approached Ruby.
-
"Get away!" She screams throws a fire ball that steadly grows in size.
-
Cassy quickly began to project her shield.
-
The fireball crashed against the shield exploding but didn't penetrate it. Ruby saw it had no affect and started to back up, tripping over the back of her dress.
-
Cassy lowered her shield. "Ruby... I can hide you from whoever you're running from," she asked. "Was it that other man?"

"You would...help me...no your lying! No one ever helps me!" Ruby cries but her face darkens with fear as a limo can be seen parked outside the alley. A peacock gets out of the Limo and stair down Ruby.
"...cassy." Vlad says and reaches for his scimitars.
-
Cassy already had her dagger out, and was in a position from which she could both defend and attack. "... Ruby, run," she whispered to the peacock.
-
Ruby wasn't moving as she was frozen with fear.
"D-Daddy..." Ruby starts but the peacock breathed blue fire through his nose in anger.
"Ruby, you have dishonored your family, ruined my reputation, and worst of all ruined my business arrangements! When I am done with you...you will be nothing more than a smear on the ground!!!" He yelled and the whole area behind him erupted with blue fire. Vlad stepped in front of his path his swords bursting with a shocking grasp spell.
"Step out of the way! This does not concern you!"
"I am afraid it does concern me Lysander." Vlad says.
-
Cassy carefully ran over to Ruby.
-
"Than you will burn with her!" Lysander yells and a pair of jets fire out of his fists and he flies in the air. He breaths fire on Vlad who jumps out of the way and casts a spell. He sprouts wings and flies up to strike Lysander and the two fight in the air.
Ruby was extremely confused as Vlad fought her father and when you came up to her she tried to crawl away.

Ruby was extremely confused as Vlad fought her father and when you came up to her she tried to crawl away.
Cassy carefully offered Ruby a hand. "We need to go now!" she whispered.
-
Ruby nods and takes her hand running with cassy.
Vlad actually starts to lose as Lysanders hammers attack after attack into Vlads defensive spells. Vlad finally fails to keep up and Lysander throws a fireball right into his face. Vlad screams in pains and hits the ground.

"Go!" Vlad yells and points for you to keep going.
-
Cassy, realizing how bad this was, quickly activated her aura and scooped Ruby up. "Hold on tight," the crat said as she suddenly began to move extremely fast, weaving between buildings and through alleyways at a faster rate than the normal fur.
-
"You let her get away! For that you will die!" Lysander was just about to finish Vlad off when Vlad pulled out a home stone and teleported back to the hotel it was set too. Lysander breaths heavily before exploding the whole alleyway in a burst of blue fire.
Post Merge: March 31, 2016, 05:15:36 AM
Ruby holds on tight and you both get away as Lysander has no idea where you went.
Meanwhile Rose screams as Vlad teleports in with severe burns.
-
Cassy didn't know how long she had been running by the time she finally reached the place she was to meet Vlad. "... You... Are you okay to stand, Ruby?" she asked, her face seeming a bit pained.
-
"Yes...are you ok." Ruby got on her feet and felt really awkward. She opened the door to Roses hotel room and as she did she saw Rose panicking as the maids tried to heal Vlad's wounds to the best of their ability. When Rose and Ruby's eyes met, Rose simply fainted as the sight of Ruby pushed her panic level over the edge.
-
Jayce sighed wearily, and held his head. His mind was racing at the new influx of information. The raccoon sighed again, before asking. "So...when and where did Ray treat you?"
Ray, having wandered away from Kath, started down the street, his face obscured by dirt and grime. He hoped to get the drop on one of the Zambian's men, and meet the...thing...that made his life so horrible.
-
"About a week or two ago," Zanthe said. "In my house. We talked a little as well." The catfox chuckled grimly. "He won't think to look for me there, I'll tell you that."
Cassy nodded, wincing a bit. "Probably," she said, unzipping her jacket. "How long did it take us to get here?"
-
Ruby glanced at the clock
"It couldn't have been more than 4 or 5 minutes." Ruby said and looked down at the unconscious Rose.
"Should I really stay here because that...thing will probably start wetting herself or something if she knows I am here." Ruby says referring to Rose. Vlad clacked his mandibles angrily at that.
"You...watch your tongue...around her." Vlad said in between painful breaths.
-
Cassy unzipped her jacket to reveal that her stomach was a little red. Not too bad... my aura must've not cooled down enough, is all. "Okay... Before we say anything else to each other," Cassy said, raising her hands and stepping between the two, "I feel that I should remind you both that, like it or not, we've got to work together now, no matter what happened in the past."
-
Ruby looks away and essentially gritted her beak.
"I suppose you save me from getting murdered...so I am deeply grateful for that." She said and it sounded like that was really hard to say. Vlad calms down as well.
"You will...owe me one later..." Vlad says as the sound of an ambulance could be heard.
"The paramedics are here." A maid says and goes to help lead the medics to the apartment.
-
Jayce nodded, quietly listening. He didn't know what to say, or if Zanthe had more to say.
-
The hybrid still in the car looked at his watch. He looked up at at the coon, Ronnie. (if I'm right? Correct me if I'm not). "Don't think I introduced myself or if zanthe happened to mention me. I'm Devin, a friend of zanthe." he extended his arm to shake. "You are?"
-
Ronnie, lost in thought, blinked back to reality and looked at Devin. How long had he been there? The raccoon shook his head, and grabbed Devin's paw. "Ronald Blackburn, though most call me Ronnie."
-
Devin shook his hand firmly "Ronnie? Sounds good." he gave a light nod before he releasing his hand.
-
Unbeknownst to Devin, Ronnie had a pistol braced against the inside door, aimed right at his chest, but the raccoon kept his composure. "So, what brings you around mister...?"
-
He fixed his blood red silk tie, looking back up. "Well I got off work not to long ago, zanthe pulled me along. may need my help I guess." he shrugged lightly.
-
"My house sort of... blew up," she said, rubbing the back of her head. "So they won't find me there. Anyway, I'm trying to clear your brother's name. Also..." The catfox leaned in close. "Let's just say that, knowing what that man did to Valentine, he's dead already. They all are. They just don't know it yet."
Cassy gently took Ruby's hand. "We shouldn't let them see you here," she said, leading the girl into another room.
-
Jayce nodded. "It's been that way, for a long time." He paused a moment, and then nodded. "I'm glad I can trust you Zanthe. Follow me." He stood, and went towards the back of the shop, a new air about him.
Ray wandered the streets, until he found Jayce's shop. He started towards the door, limping slightly. Ray looked worn, tired, like he'd been through Hell and back.
-
Zanthe stood up and was about to follow Jayce when she caught a glimpse of something in a reflection. "...Jayce, someone's approaching the shop," she said, starting to turn around.
-
Jayce blinked, and looked at the window. He silently drew a handgun, and slipped to the window sill.
Ray stopped at the curb, and stared at the door.
-
Zanthe looked out of the corner of her eye and blinked. "... It's your brother, it looks like," she said. "Ray...."
-
"My house sort of... blew up," she said, rubbing the back of her head. "So they won't find me there. Anyway, I'm trying to clear your brother's name. Also..." The catfox leaned in close. "Let's just say that, knowing what that man did to Valentine, he's dead already. They all are. They just don't know it yet."
Cassy gently took Ruby's hand. "We shouldn't let them see you here," she said, leading the girl into another room.
"Alright..." Ruby follows without issue and while you are in the other room the paramedics take Vlad to the hospital. They also help wake up Rose and when the paramedics leave the door to your room opens up a crack.
"...Cassy...please explain what s-she is doing here?" Rose was clearly full of fear as she spoke and Ruby decided to let Cassy talk this one out.
-
Cassy sighed and sat down beside Rose. "She's in trouble and we're helping her," the crat said. "Her father kept putting pressure on here, and she just ran away from an arranged marriage."
-
"But...She put me in the hospital." Rose said and gave a timid glance at Ruby. Feeling her presence just made things awkward Ruby was about to enter another room but couldn't read the sign that was in Thri-keen.
"...what the hell is this room." She said looking absolutely disgusted as their were eggs and little worm things everywhere.
-
Ray walked up to the door, and knocked gently.
Jayce held his pistol tightly, not in any mood to trust anyone; even his brother was suspect. If the Zambian was in the city, he could be anyone.
-
Red woke up on his couch, he felt the back of his neck, rubbing his thick scales, sighing through his nose he got up before looking out his apartment blinds to see the city street that cut though the apartments like a river through a forest... Red started getting dressed, He put on a black shirt, grey jeans and a orange jacket, he tiredly rubbed his eyes before opening the fridge and grabbing milk he then reached into his pantry, grabbing some cheap off-brand fruity pebbles
-
Devin looked out the window of the car, gazing at the sky before asking. "You got the time?" the hybrid asked looking back at Ronnie.
-
Red sighed before eating the fruity pebbels quickly and walking out his apartment, red put his hood over his head, shadowing his face
-
Up on the roof tops above Red was a kitsune vampire that many knew as Kammy. She was in one of her hungry moods looking for someone to feed on and had seen red walking down a virtually empty street. She was just waiting for the perfect moment to surprise him and take a little bit of his blood, but wasn't planning on killing him.
-
Ronnie nodded, and glanced at the radio. "8:05 P.M. Why?"
-
"Just uh a little stressed." he simply said holding a crystal necklace while looking back out the window.
-
"But...She put me in the hospital." Rose said and gave a timid glance at Ruby. Feeling her presence just made things awkward Ruby was about to enter another room but couldn't read the sign that was in Thri-keen.
"...what the hell is this room." She said looking absolutely disgusted as their were eggs and little worm things everywhere.
Cassy gently put a hand on Ruby's shoulder. "Not the focus right now," she said, calmly guiding Ruby back into the room. "Look, Rose, long story short, Ruby's father is a dick, so I'm helping her. It's because he's a dick that she... gets like that." She shrugged. "Also, you know... fire mage." Cassy looked at Ruby. "It's the pressure that gets to you, right?"
-
"...that is just the small part. Ever since mom...passed...he has lost all care for me. I became his personal punching bag, anytime he felt angry he took it out on me. I have been sent to the hospital more times than I can count...and my father just pays the doctors to keep quiet." Ruby looks at Rose and sighs.
"That day I bashed you into a locker, my dad had done something very similar." Ruby let's her dress slip and shows an awful lot of burns scars that had purposefully been covered up.
-
Cassy blinked and looked at the scars, trying to remember when she had tackled Ruby. ...Come to think of it, the light in the locker room is dull enough to conceal those. "...Geez," she managed, rubbing the back of her head. "I... I'm sorry."
-
(Ruby probably used make up or something to cover the scares)
"It's fine...I had no right to take my anger out on you." Ruby says and Rose is actually starting to lighten her expression.
"...I forgive you." Rose says putting a hand to her own scar. Ruby actually starts to cry and hugs both Cassy and Rose.
"I don't know...how to repay you." Ruby cries.
-
Ray knocked louder on the door, and spoke. "Jayce? I-It's Ray, can I come in? Please...I need a place to rest."
Jayce, however, made no move for the door, and his grip on the pistol tightened.
-
Cassy flushed a little and hugged both Ruby and Rose back, deciding to leave answering that question to Rose. Personally, she didn't feel like Ruby needed to repay her. Helping another person was thanks enough.
Zanthe didn't turn around either. "...It could be a trap," she murmured. "But even so... why are you so tense?"
(....Wait.)
(Ruby... and Rose.)
(....Did you do that on purpose? o-o)
-
Jayce sighed. "'Cause the Zambian is everywhere."
Ray tapped on the door again. "Please? Let me in, Jayce."
-
Zanthe raised an eyebrow. "The Zambien is a shapeshifter?" she asked. "Or is he just good at getting people under his control?" She kept her back to the door. "If it's the second one, I don't think he'd be able to use Ray again unless Ray didn't know it. Valentine is safe."
-
Rose thought for a moment. Sure Ruby had hurt her...but Ruby has felt more pain in her whole life than Rose had in that single moment.
"...you don't owe me anything...except maybe free dance lessons." Rose says and gives her version of a smile. Ruby nods and hugs a little longer before letting go.
"Thank you both...now if you don't mind I need to finds some new clothes."
-
Rose thought for a moment. Sure Ruby had hurt her...but Ruby has felt more pain in her whole life than Rose had in that single moment.
"...you don't owe me anything...except maybe free dance lessons." Rose says and gives her version of a smile. Ruby nods and hugs a little longer before letting go.
"Thank you both...now if you don't mind I need to finds some new clothes."
"If you don't mind baring your midriff, I could lend you some of mine," Cassy said, stretching a bit. The redness around her navel had faded away.
-
Jayce sighed, which came out more shakily than he wanted. "Both." He stood, and kept his gun at the door, as he moved for the eyelet.
-
Zanthe pulled a balaclava out of her pocket and tugged it on, then put a hand on Jayce's shoulder. "In that case," she whispered. "Let me go first."
-
Jayce nodded, and moved away from the door.
Ray, hearing movement, stepped away from the door, and waited.
-
Zanthe carefully opened the eye slot. "Hello?" she said, disguising her voice.
-
Ray blinked. "U-Uh...hello? W-Who is t-this?"
-
"An associate of the man you are looking for," she replied. "And who might you be?"
-
Ray furrowed his brow. "J-Jayce doesn't trust anyone but family." He reached behind himself, drawing a dingy-looking revolver he had knicked from a thug a while back. "W-Who is this?"
-
Ray furrowed his brow. "J-Jayce doesn't trust anyone but family." He reached behind himself, drawing a dingy-looking revolver he had knicked from a thug a while back. "W-Who is this?"
Zanthe decided to take a chance. "Are you bugged?" she said in a whisper.
-
Ray shook his head. "No. Who is this? I-I'm warning you, i-it's been a rough week. I-I'm not afraid to e-end you."
-
"Do you recognize me now?" Zanthe said, speaking in the voice she had used in dealing with Ray and Jayce and everyone but Devin in private. She was very, very careful with things.
-
Ray took a step back, before dropping the gun and gripping the doorknob. "Z-Zanthe!? O-Open the door, please!"
-
Zanthe looked back at Jayce. "The Zambian doesn't know me," she said. "It's your call."
-
Jayce immediately changed his tone, and put away his gun. "Let him in, please."
Ray stood by, waiting patiently. He checked the street, hoping he wasn't followed.
-
Jayce immediately changed his tone, and put away his gun. "Let him in, please."
Ray stood by, waiting patiently. He checked the street, hoping he wasn't followed.
Zanthe opened the door and scooped up the dropped gun, then quickly pulled Ray inside and closed it. "Sorry about that," she said. "Jayce had to make sure it was you... He can shapeshift, huh?"
-
Ray nodded. "Y-Yeah." He looked at Zanthe a few moments, before embracing her.
-
Zanthe tensed a bit, then hugged Ray back, ignoring the soreness from her injuries. "Glad to see you're alright," she said. "Someone broke you out?"
-
Rose thought for a moment. Sure Ruby had hurt her...but Ruby has felt more pain in her whole life than Rose had in that single moment.
"...you don't owe me anything...except maybe free dance lessons." Rose says and gives her version of a smile. Ruby nods and hugs a little longer before letting go.
"Thank you both...now if you don't mind I need to finds some new clothes."
"If you don't mind baring your midriff, I could lend you some of mine," Cassy said, stretching a bit. The redness around her navel had faded away.
"I don't mind showing off a little." Ruby says and spreads her tail feathers like a fan. Rose goes into the room that she knew was a nursery.
"I will be back, unfortunately I have...business to attend to." She says and a maid follows her into the room.
-

"I will be back, unfortunately I have...business to attend to." She says and a maid follows her into the room.
Cassy nodded, then walked over to the overnight bag she had been keeping at Rose's place ever since she started training. "Do you have a color preference?" she asked.
-
"Red, all my clothes are red. If I had a choice my wedding dress would be red...but father wouldn't have it." Ruby said and realized all her stuff was at her mansion.
-
Cassy nodded and pulled out a red tank top and a pair of dark red shorts. "Right... I'll see if I can get someone to help with that," she said, tossing Ruby the clothes. "Are your undergarments alright?"
-
Ray nodded. "Y-Yeah...I can't remember her name though." He sighed, and released Zanthe. Jayce then stepped in, and hugged Ray. After a few moments, Jayce led Ray to a seat, and sat him down. Ray looked to his brother, sadly. "Has Zanthe told you?"
Jayce nodded. "She's said enough."
-
Ruby blushed furiously.
"Y-yes of course! I am not that careless." She said and started to get dressed. Rose could be heard from the nursery room grunting with effort.
"...does Rose do that often." Ruby asks. In Cassies time staying here...she probably knew the answer was yes.

Other: He possesses a stone embedded in his chest, and is able to turn into a Feral Dragon, and is a Mercenary.
==============================================================================================
Razuel is driving down a street in the suburbs to his new house, and has a hands-free call happening, "I still don't understand why you've moved me all the way out here, Angel... Uh-huh, yep, alright alright, I get it. I'll station in this place and work as a... WHAT!? A private detective!? That is the most boring job ever~... Whatever... I'll work with the police force here, I guess, Alight? Okay, bye.", Raz hung up and pulled into his house's driveway and went inside, "Huh... it's better than I thought it'd be... and everything is already set up, good.", Razuel went over to the fridge, grabbed a can of pop and sat on his couch and watched some shows.
(If anyone would desire, first one to claim me as their neighbour, I'm okay with it.)
-
(You could be Devin's but he's not home right now only Zaida and his pet kitten)
-
(I could use Kammy, she had been floating around doing nothing for a while.)
-
Devin looked out the window. "Ronnie? Who was that?" He asked. "The raccoon who walked inside." he said talking about Ray. Ever since he woke up he had been watching the area carefully.
-
Zanthe nodded, taking a seat as well. "To be honest, Ray, I was planning on getting you out myself," she said. "Clearly, someone beat me to it... though I suppose life had something to do with it too..." The catfox lightly put a hand to her stomach.
Cassy shrugged her jacket off and shrugged. "What can I say? She's a girl with obligations," the crat replied, stretching and spreading out her wings. "...Do my clothes fit alright?"
-
"They fit alright...a little big but alright." Ruby said suddenly missy comes scuttling in looking for Rose. At the sight of the giant roach Ruby screams.
"Cockroach!!!" Ruby starts to climb on a table when missy comes over curious.
-
Cassy flushed at the "big" comment, but regained her composure as Ruby freaked out. "It's okay, that's just Missy," she said, petting the cockroach's carapace. "... You're not afraid of cockroaches, are you?"
-
"How can you be calm! Look at the size of that thing!" Ruby yelled and one of the maids snickers as she sees Ruby scared by cockroach.
Rose comes out holding a thri-kreen baby worm as she had heard Ruby.
"What is something wrong?" Rose exclaimed. Missy climbed up on the table trying to figure out why Ruby smelled of fear. At that point Ruby couldn't take all the large bugs that were in the room and fainted about to fall off the table.
-
(You could be Devin's but he's not home right now only Zaida and his pet kitten)
(Sure thing.)
Outside Raz's house was an '88 Cadi, with a small insignia on the front passenger door pertaining to the actual job that Raz does, but it was clear that Raz was home, due to a few lights flickering from a window on the side of the house.
-
"How can you be calm! Look at the size of that thing!" Ruby yelled and one of the maids snickers as she sees Ruby scared by cockroach.
Rose comes out holding a thri-kreen baby worm as she had heard Ruby.
"What is something wrong?" Rose exclaimed. Missy climbed up on the table trying to figure out why Ruby smelled of fear. At that point Ruby couldn't take all the large bugs that were in the room and fainted about to fall off the table.
Cassy blinked. "Uh... Maybe Ruby should stay in a separate place," she said, rubbing the back of her head. "She appears to have a problem with huge bugs."
-
(Also not, next next door but in the neighborhood. Devin lives in the rich area I guess you can say. the houses are a bit distant. Like in some parts of L.A)
Zaida watched the news knowing claw mafia did the shooting and stole. "Of course..." she hissed with frustration then sighed. she sent a message to Devin on her phone as she relaxed on the couch.
Devin received a text "Dammit I keep forgetting." He mumbled before getting out of the car. "Tell zanthe I have something to do. If she needs to, she can contact me." He told Ronnie before he left. Heading to the public parking where he last left the street bike.
-
Rose nodded.
"I think I know someone who may be able to help. She is an old friend to the kingdom...in fact she is a really old friend." Rose said and got her phone.
"I think you should go with Ruby, one of us needs to watch her and Vlad is in the hospital."
-
Cassy nodded, flashing Rose a gentle grin. "I'll keep her safe," she said. "So... what's the plan?"
-
Razuel looked at his coffee table and saw a silver sleek remote and pressed one of the buttons and a large blaring alarm went off that could be heard in a 5 house radius, then Raz scrambled to turn it off, and did, "Why didn't they label these!"
-
Devin rode the street bike until he was at his house he jumped at the noise of the alarm Most likely a new anthro... Maybe I can introduce myself? Nah later he thought. He parked the motorcycle in the garage and looking around to see if anyone followed. As the garage closed he walked inside. "Sorry sis, keep forgetting. But we have to wait until they try something big."
"Well try not to, it's important... And I know that, I just thought I had to remind you." She sighed lightly. "Also you didn't have to come here, could've called or texted."
The hybrid shrugged "I know I just thought I should.... besides I wasn't really busy." He walked to the fridge, opening the carton of milk. Chugging down some before wiping the milk mustache.
-
"I am calling my friend Sierra, she may now a good hiding spot." Rose says and starts calling.
"You blasted paladin! You may have won for now, but the cult of Tyamat will rise from this defeat and you will..." Sierra puts duck tape over the cultists mouth to shut up him as she had to do with all the other tied up cultist.
"Yes yes I am sure you will now wait here like a good cultist till I send to meet your..." Sierra is cut off by her phone ringing. She sees its Rose and answers.
"Yes Rose?" Sierra starts to leaves the building the cult and had been held up that now had c4 in strategic places.
"Oh hello Sierra, I am in need of some assistance and you have said would help on a moments notice."
"Alright I am on my way." Sierra sets off the c4 from a safe distance and the building collapses killing all remaining cultist.
"...what was that?" Rose asked.
"...nothing."
-
"I am calling my friend Sierra, she may now a good hiding spot." Rose says and starts calling.
"You blasted paladin! You may have won for now, but the cult of Tyamat will rise from this defeat and you will..." Sierra puts duck tape over the cultists mouth to shut up him as she had to do with all the other tied up cultist.
"Yes yes I am sure you will now wait here like a good cultist till I send to meet your..." Sierra is cut off by her phone ringing. She sees its Rose and answers.
"Yes Rose?" Sierra starts to leaves the building the cult and had been held up that now had c4 in strategic places.
"Oh hello Sierra, I am in need of some assistance and you have said would help on a moments notice."
"Alright I am on my way." Sierra sets off the c4 from a safe distance and the building collapses killing all remaining cultist.
"...what was that?" Rose asked.
"...nothing."
Cassy pulled a red jacket out of her bag and slipped it on Ruby, then pulled her own jacket on. "So... who is this Sierra person anyway?" the crat asked Rose.
-
"She is an old friend of the family...in fact so old at one point we thought was long dead. She helped my ancestor Queen Rose Mariland the first rebuild her kingdom after it had been nearly devastated by multiple attacks. This was of course during medieval times...how she has survived this long is still a mystery." Rose says and helps you pack. Missy is licking Ruby's unconscious body.
-
"Oh Zaida" he said walking out of the kitchen. "If a hybrid name zanthe comes over, you can let her in."
"Who the hell is zanthe?!" She hissed.
"Calm down it's friend of mine, she's not threat I promise. Besides its not like I invited her, just in case she does." Devin said starting his way upstairs Vi following him.
Zaida sighed through her nose as her tail whipped the air. "Fine... Hmp I swear. Out of no where, a friend, that's a girl? Sounds like trouble..." She growled under her breath.
-
(For now, Zanthe is waiting for Ray to reply.)
Cassy finished packing, then carefully picked Missy up and walked away from Ruby, stroking the cockroach's carapace again. "Well, perhaps we'll find out with time," she said, shrugging. "Is there anything I need to know about her? I'd rather not annoy her."
-
Ray nodded. "I understand, Zanthe. I don't blame you for taking care of yourself. I was safe, relatively speaking." He looked to Jayce. "We need to get Valentine to Mom's."
-
(Is Valentine with clover still?)
Rose picked up missy so she wouldn't wander.
"Well this is kind of hard to explain...but she is living construct. Her soul is trapped in an androids body, but she still retains her holy powers. Also she does live with her mate...but that is whole thing of its own and is really hard to explain." Rose said and opened the door for cassy. "I may come and visit sometime by the way."
(By the way Cifero, you can ignore the part involving Cifero if you don't want him/daisy in the rp. It just made sense to me.)
-
Raz got up off of his couch then went into his backyard, "Hmm, the fences are high enough... I guess this could work.", Raz put a hand over his chest stone, and his body was engulfed in flames, clothing being thrown off in the process, and a short stream of fire shot up then quickly stopped, "...Right... that happens sometimes... I always forget... well I'll probably be getting some visitors soon then.", Raz simply layed down in the backyard.
-
Zanthe perked her ears up. "Does he know?" she asked. (Yes, she's still with Clover[field].)
Cassy perked her ears up all of a sudden at the last sentence. "An android?" she asked, seeming suddenly interested. "Does she look like a fox?" As she spoke, Cassy picked up her bag and Ruby.
(I may include them. But I'm not gonna write a sheet for them yet. I don't have the time at the moment.)
-
"...yes how did you know that?" Rose asked a bit surprised.
(Ok then, if need be I can give an update on what they are doing.)
-
(That would be nice to know. What they would be doing. Whoever you mean. @-@ Valentine and Clover, I presume? Or both parties?)
Cassy turned to Rose, one of Ruby's arms over her shoulders, and chuckled. "Because," she replied, smiling, "her mate, from the sounds of it, is my cousin."
-
Valentine, who had left the warehouse again, had gone to town, and purchased a loaf of bread, and a gallon of water. She started back towards the warehouse, unaware she was being followed. The pursuer seemed to be walking to some kind of construction job, wearing a denim jumpsuit and a hardhat. Upon a closer inspection, however, he was obviously following Valentine.
-
(... Well, someone's got to step in there. o-o Is it okay if the persons I don't have a character sheet for do so?)
-
((I'd say yeah, just to be safe...))

Clover had been following Valentine as she was tasked by Kammy to protect her while Kammy was off goofing around. She had been roof hopping the whole way under invisibility. When the man showed up she knew the person was up to something and fluttered her wings silently down to ground holding her lead pipe.
"...peek a boo." Clover said as she popped out of invisibility behind the man and slammed him full force with the Hammer of Catastrophes aiming to knock him into the alley wall.
-
(That would be nice to know. What they would be doing. Whoever you mean. @-@ Valentine and Clover, I presume? Or both parties?)
Cassy turned to Rose, one of Ruby's arms over her shoulders, and chuckled. "Because," she replied, smiling, "her mate, from the sounds of it, is my cousin."
(... Um... Ray? Vi Vi? You forgot to reply to Zanthe... and Cassy...)
-
Ray nodded, and looked at Jayce. "That's why he went below the radar. He thought he'd be next, right Jayce?"
Jayce quickly changed the subject. "I-I'll get a ride ready for Val. Shouldn't be too hard..." He trailed off as he stood to frantically
-
(That would be nice to know. What they would be doing. Whoever you mean. @-@ Valentine and Clover, I presume? Or both parties?)
Cassy turned to Rose, one of Ruby's arms over her shoulders, and chuckled. "Because," she replied, smiling, "her mate, from the sounds of it, is my cousin."
"Oh you should have so. Well then this should make the whole experience less awkward." Rose said as the door bell rang. Rose opened it and it was Sierra standing there.
"...cassy? What are you doing here with Rose?" Sierra asked rather surprised to see cassy.
-
Cassy flushed a bit and grinned sheepishly. "We became friends about a month ago and we dance together," she said. "Hi, Sierra. How's C..." The crat blinked, looking confused. "... How is your significant other, or your best friend? It's been a while since I've seen you, so I'm not sure who's there right now."
Zanthe nodded. "Will you need me here for that, or shall I depart?" she said. "Alternately, I could have your brother come in. He might want to help you plan."

Zanthe nodded. "Will you need me here for that, or shall I depart?" she said. "Alternately, I could have your brother come in. He might want to help you plan."
"Currently it's Daisy, and she is doing fine. We should really catch up along the way, wouldn't you want your friend there to wake up to soon." Sierra says gesturing to Ruby. Rose claps her hands.
"Oh it good to see you two are already friends, now remember if you two ever need anything that you have a friend in a high place." Rose says.
-
Raz changed back into his anthro form and put his clothing back on then went back inside his home.
((I need help with getting into this stuff... I really want to join in the fun))
-
Jayce shook his head. "Ronnie's no help, not at the moment. We'll talk to him when we've got it worked out."
The hammer sailed harmlessly through the man's clothes, as if they were empty. In fact, the man-creature had displaced most of his body to avoid the swing. He turned, a gun in a gelatinous mass representing a hand. "Back off," he whispered, "I ain't lookin' t'hurt her."
-
Raz changed back into his anthro form and put his clothing back on then went back inside his home.
((I need help with getting into this stuff... I really want to join in the fun))
(Go out for a walk or something. I assume it is night time and I have an idea.)
Clover growled at the man.
"You better have some proof to back that up buddy. I was told to look after her."
-
Zanthe nodded gently. "Alright... Might I take my leave, then?" she asked. "There are things I have to take care of myself... Though I can leave you a number to reach me by."
Cassy smiled at Rose. "I'll see you in class, Rose," she said, moving through the doorway with Ruby over her shoulder. "Or in the hospital, if Vlad has to stay a while."
-
Raz walked over to a console mounted on his wall and it displayed, 'no contracts present', "Well I guess there won't be anything for me to do until tomorrow, I think there's a restaurant nearby... yup it's in walking distance, I guess I will go there for dinner... man, sucks that my girl is halfway across the damn world. Well I hope that this place is worth me going to it all alone. Vivian, turn on the defenses.", "Sure thing, Raz.", There was a succession of whirs and clicks.
Raz got on his jacket and went out the door then inhaled, "Ahh, I love the smell of night!", Raz then made his way to the restaurant.
-
The shower was turned on. Devin waited for it to get warm, as he did the hybrid stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself thinking about the mafia. "Soon, just got to be patient." He huffed getting dressed before stepping in the warm shower.
Zaida walked outside sitting on the steps. She looked at the moon and sighed softly through her nose as she felt relaxed.

(Zaida...your profile pic is pretty creepy...but to be honest I expect nothing less from you.)
Unbeknownst to Razuel someone was following him along the roof tops. It was Kammy and she was sizing him up to see if he was an easy target and so far she was guessing yes.

Zanthe nodded gently. "Alright... Might I take my leave, then?" she asked. "There are things I have to take care of myself... Though I can leave you a number to reach me by."
Cassy smiled at Rose. "I'll see you in class, Rose," she said, moving through the doorway with Ruby over her shoulder. "Or in the hospital, if Vlad has to stay a while."
(Forgot about cassy for a second)
Rose waves and closes the door to her apartment. Sierra starts walking out of the hotel.
"So how have you been?" She asks.
-
Raz continued to walk and began to whistle, he then appeared to take a rod out of his jacket, and he began to twirl it around.
-
The stranger spoke, a slight smirk in his voice, though his face was blank. "I got 'splainin' to do? You're followin' this poor girl, too. How do I know you're not gonna hurt her? Can't go getting damaged goods."
Valentine crossed the street, and continued wandering. She wanted to find somewhere to eat for cheap, but was unfamiliar with the area.
Ray and Jayce nodded, as Ray spoke. "That'll be fine, miss Zanthe. We'll contact you if something goes awry."
-
Zanthe nodded and handed Ray a phone number on a piece of paper. "Alright... If you need me, just call that number," she said. "Just be sure no one's tracing you." With that, the catfox walked outside and went back to the car, giving Ronnie a casual wave.
"I've been alright," Cassy replied, shifting Ruby's weight on her shoulder. "Rose's friend Vlad has been helping me improve my... skills." Cassy glanced at Sierra and lit up her hand for a brief moment before letting it go dark. "So... How do you know Rose?"
-
Ronnie waved, smiling. He reached for the passenger door, and threw it wide. "Everything go well?"
-
Zanthe nodded. "Yeah. Ray showed up, and they're planning something as we speak." The catfox slipped into the car, then looked around. "... Where did Devin go?"
-
Ronnie shrugged. "I fell asleep a few minutes ago. I'm not sure where he went."
-
Zaida held her head with a soft groan of frustration, growing anxious. Her foot tapping the floor and eyes shut tight. The Vexū growled to herself. "Not now..." Zaida hissed as she had flash backs. Your a terrible fur...
Devin washed himself often looking at the scars and thinking about his past. Shaking his head he sighed through his mouth and continued to wash.
-
Zanthe carefully rolled down the window and took a deep breath in through her nose. "Hmm... Are you okay with me giving you directions?" she asked.
-
Ronnie nodded. "Sure, I've not got much to do."
-
Raz looked back to the rooftops and saw a few shingles fall, and for a few seconds he stared at the rooftops and could only see a darkness about them, he then turned around and continued to walk.

(Why are you all on when i'm not... T_T)
As soon as Raz turned around, Kammy was standing right in front of him.
"Hello there, I know we just met but I am really hungry and need some someone bite." Kammy than stares right into Raz's eyes and tries to hypnotize him.
(Is Raz able to be hypnotized?)

Sierra sighed. "I met her threw Vlad, who I assume you have met by now. Me and Vlad used to train together at the magic gym and one day he took me to meet Rose. However Rose is convinced that I am some old hero that used to work for Queen Rose Mariland the first." Sierra pulls up a holo screen and shows the painting of a legendary hero named Saki Oshiro. The picture did sort of resemble Sierra, but it was kind of hard to tell because it painting.
"I don't know if it's true...but I kind of am hoping."
-
(Unfortunately, no)
Raz squinted at Kamm, "What are you doing... wait... you said bite... You're a vampire, aren't you, or are you just some diehard goth?", Raz put a hand inside his jacket and placed his hand on his pistol, just in case.
-
"...it didn't work did it...well I got to get that blood somehow." Kammy says as she draws a bastard Sword with both a cross and a pentagram embedded into the hilt and tries to knock you out with the flat of the blade...however it wasn't that strong as Kammy hasn't been able to find blood in a while.
Clover rolled her eyes.
"She has been staying at my warehouse for a while ok!"
-
Raz just stood there then sighed, "I could think of a few ways you could get some blood, but doing it this way might get you hurt eventually. So i'd suggest setting something up with a butcher or something... also, despite you being weak, obviously, your stance is off and your technique could easily be countered... here, let me show you.", Raz took the sword and showed some stances, and some techniques on a nearby tree, "See, that's how you do it, and guaranteed that even being weak, you could stun your opponent with a few of those.", Raz handed the sword back, "However, you'd be best not to try this on me ever again... I may not be so forgiving... but since you're hungry, how would you like to go to a meat house, that's where I'm headed now.", Raz began to walk towards his desired destination, "Well? You comin'?"
-
Kammy looked a little stunned that you weren't fighting and even helping her.
"...I unfortunately have to drink anthro blood. Feral blood does nothing but give me something to taste."

(It just hit me that you loosely made an avatar reference.)
-
The stranger chuckled. "Now how can I believe that you'd live in a warehouse?" He shook his head, and the mass around the gun tensed. "Try 'gain."
-
"Well that is unfortunate... hmm... Ah, there is a procedure that can turn tainted blood into normal blood. Would you like me to teach you?"
-
Zanthe nodded. "Alright... Turn right up ahead," she said, beginning to give Ronnie directions. (This bit should require a time skip.)
Cassy looked at the picture, cocking her head. "It does resemble you a little," she said, turning her eyes to Sierra and smiling. "Maybe this is the one... I mean, there had to have been some evidence of your past, right?" The crat glanced around, a little on edge.
-
"Yes I am sure there was..." Sierra notices you looking around.
"Is there someone you are looking out for?"
Clover actually looks away trying to hide that stinging remark.
"...you really think I would like about that? Look at me." Clover dropped the illusion that made her look beautiful and revealed her ugly self. The clothes she was wearing also changed to old beaten dress.
-
*Red walked down the sidewalk rubbing his head 'my hearing is worsening...' he thought as a cool breeze glides across his body, he stopped rubbing his head and waited at a crosswalk 'This is getting dull, I swear its the same thing everyday, he looked at his watch before walking down the crosswalk and continuing on his way, he looked around, sky scrapers towered over him and many furs bustled down the sidewalk to their locations*
(Anybody want to meet?, my role here is pretty much useless until I am otherwise proven wrong.)
-
(I tried to but you disappeared for a while and I didn't want Kammy stuck. :/)
-
"Well? would you like me to teach you?", Raz said to Kammy as he twirled around the rod he had with him already
-
Ronnie started off, following Zanthe's directions.
The stranger shook his head. "Don't matter what you look like. 'Sides, I've looked like s'many people." He chuckled. "Two strikes, missie."
-
"Yes I am sure there was..." Sierra notices you looking around.
"Is there someone you are looking out for?"
Clover actually looks away trying to hide that stinging remark.
"...you really think I would like about that? Look at me." Clover dropped the illusion that made her look beautiful and revealed her ugly self. The clothes she was wearing also changed to old beaten dress.
Zanthe continued to sniff the air and to give directions, eventually leading Ronnie to a street not far from Devin's house. "...Alright, stop here," she said.
"Well... in a way," Cassy said. "I'll explain later, but for now, it will be best if we get my friend here to your house. Preferably unnoticed."
-
(We're not at Devin's house. o-o Zanthe purposefully didn't take Ronnie all the way because she didn't feel that it would be very secretive.)
-
(Oops didn't see the down the street part)
Zaida remained on the steps to the house. Her foot still tapped the floor, a slight clicking due to her claws. She still stared at the sky, the sun was setting and the moon was rising.
-
(Vivi, are you gonna continue with Kammy and Raz's interaction)
Raz scratched his head, "Really though, I'm not originally anthro, feral runs through my veins."
-
(I'm certain she will when she is on, Razuel.)
(It's fine, Zaida. ^///^ I've missed things before myself.)
-
*Red stopped at a bus stop, he waits for the bus to arrive*
-
Ronnie stopped just as Zanthe commanded, and looked at her. "What's this place, miss?"
Ray, after what sounded like a heated argument with Jayce, stepped out of Jayce's barber shop, and started down the street.
-
(I'm gonna try to get back into this. Acon's got a MAJOR makeover due to me abandoning poinson drinkers for a little while.)
Name: Aconitum "Coco" Lovien
Age: unknown
Height: 5 foot something
Weight: Meh
Species: Egyptian Vulture
Clothing: a lot of skin tight leather. Although, her outfit of choice would be a plain white tank-top with a pair of tight, severely short leather shorts and a heavy black-leather jacket with its sleeves rolled up to her elbows. Her accessories include black leather fingerless gloves and two white bandanas; one is tied around the top of her right arm and the other is used to keep her long hair out of her face.
Personality: sassy, knows no boundaries, easily annoyed but hard to anger, potty mouthed, uncaring, kind to some, trusts very few, smooth, sly
~Other~
Jobs: Owns several businesses throughout the city, head of her family (kind of the same as the last rp, but definitely not as extreme as it was)
Appearance: Acon is a very tall, slender female. Her featherless face and long legs are a bright golden color. Her soft plumage is a clean snow-white and mostly resembles fur rather than actual feathers, unlike most other Egyptian vultures. On places such as her head, around her tail and thighs, and on her arms, her feathers are longer and act as hair or just long fur. Her eyes are ice-blue with dark-red, almost black scleras and extremely small diamond shaped pupils. The sides of Acon's long beak have small jagged teeth-like ridges and the tip is capped with metal in case she ever needs to use it in self defense. Her extremely long claws and talons are made of the same metal for the same purpose.
Extras: -Acon isn't fully avian. Her biological father was, but her mother is a jackal
-because she is not fully avian, Acon lacks the ability to fly, her feathers are softer and more fur-like, and before she had them removed Acon's wings were small and ultimately useless
-Acon was taken in and raised by her mother's ex-husband, Herman Lovien and has never met her biological father
-she drives a 2016 Ford Shelby GT500 named Azazel
(More info soon to come)
-
(Man. Acon undergoes a lot of changes. o-o)
Zanthe unbuckled her seatbelt, then quickly wrote down her number and handed it to Ronnie. "Don't let anyone get this," she said. "I have some business to attend to in this area. When I call, drive to this spot and I will meet you, okay?"
-
((This is true XD But I think this change fits me more so than any other.))
Acon walked down a narrow alleyway, twirling a set of keys around on her finger. The smile she wore on her beak was mischievous, meaning she was looking to get herself into a bit of trouble.
-
Ronnie nodded, and stuffed the note into his pocket. "Got it. I'll wait for your call, miss."
Ray was walking absentmindedly down an alleyway, and nearly collided with Acon. He, however, sidestepped at the last moment, and apologized. "S-Sorry..."
-
Acon gave Ray a sideways glance before she straightened her jacket and put her keys back in her pocket. "It's okay, I guess. But! Now you have to buy me dinner as a way to make up for your clumsiness."
-
Ray blinked, and stopped dead in his tracks. "I-I'm sorry, what? You...want me to buy you dinner?" He thought a moment, before shrugging. "Sure...why not?" Ray sighed, and smiled. "Where would you like to go, friend?"
-
Acon offered him a smile before she placed a hand on his shoulder. "What time is it? I'd like brunch at some really fancy hotel. I want it to be super duper expensive, so I hope you've got a lot on you."
-
Ray smiled. "Nope. But they don't have to know that, right?" He chuckled, and offered a paw. "Name's Ray."
-
Acon laughed and took Ray's paw into her own, giving it a firm shake. "Acon. Nice to meet you. I like your style, Ray. I can tell we're gonna be bros real quick." Keeping hold of his paw, Acon began leading Ray in the direction of the hotel she wanted to eat at.
-
Ray followed along, smiling. He hadn't felt this good in a long while. "So...Acon. Where're you from? You don't seem like the run-of-the-mill individuals that creep about."
-
"I was born in Arizona, but raised somewhere in the outskirts of Acension." Acon said with a shrug. "So you probably haven't seen me around cause I rarely venture to these parts."
-
Ray nodded as he walked. "Fair enough. I was born here, but traveled for...business reasons." He sighed. "But, a story for another day. So, where are we gonna eat?"
-
Acon did a strange movement with her head before she snapped her fingers. "Some garden Inn. A big shot around here owns it and I heard he only hires the best of the best to cook at his hotels. I figured now was as good a time as ever to check it out."
-
Ray nodded. "That sounds good. I've not been keeping tabs on the new businesses cropping up. I'm glad I bumped into you, Acon."
-
Acon tossed a glance over her shoulder at Ray and scoffed. "I know you are. Now, what's our plan of action since we're gonna be dining and dashing?" She asked as they approached a very large, elegant looking building that resembled something like a castle.
-
Ray chuckled. "We eat, duck into our respective restrooms, and then slip out the windows." He smiled. "Shouldn't be too hard."
-
Acon shrugged. "I hope not, but what if this joint has those bathroom monkeys that give you the towels and stuff? Or what if there aren't any windows in there?"
-
Ray paused. "Hm...then I guess we leave a bum check? Say we're mister and missus so-and-so, and duck out the front?"
-
Acon snorted. "That could work." She shrugged again. "I guess we could just wait and see. You know... Cross that bridge when we come to it." She said as they entered the lobby of the hotel.
-
Ray nodded. "Right." He turned, and smiled at the host. "Hello. We'd like a table for two, please."
-
The host eyed the two suspiciously, taking in their appearances a moment before shrugging and waving them along behind him. "Right this way." He said, leading them to a table somewhere near the back end of the restaurant.
-
Ray followed along, sighing. "Well...nice place, right dear?" He looked over at Acon, a very exaggerated smile on his face.
-
Acon looked up at Ray and chuckled. "Oh yes! Very nice. I'm so glad we decided to come here, darling~" She cooed before they were seated. At she settled down in her chair, the young vulture took a look around the dining room for the closest exit. Unfortunately, it seemed their only way out was through the door right next to the host's desk.
-
Ray waited for the host to leave, before talking. "We'll tell 'em we left the checkbooks in the car, and scarper quick-like." He chuckled. "So, what's on the menu?"
-
Acon smirked. "Sounds like a plan, Stan." She then opened her own menu, scanning it quickly with her ice-blue eyes. "Looks like... Steak, pheasant... And some weird fish shit pastry crap." She rolled her eyes. "Rich people eat some weird crap for breakfast."
-
Ray nodded. "That's for sure. So...we're gonna get the most expensive stuff, or stuff we actually want to eat?"
-
Acon laughed. "Both. We have to splurge and make these clowns think we've got a big tip in store for them."
-
Ray nodded. "Sounds good." He perused the menu for a while, and then nodded. "I've got my mind set, what about you?"
-
Acon nodded as she shut her menu and set it aside. "Yup! You do realize, we're never gonna be able to come back here, right?"
-
Ray nodded. "Yeah. I'm not too keen on coming back anyway. Hate fancy places."
-
Acon gave him the thumbs up. "Good." She smiled when the waiter came to take their orders. The look on the poor fellow's face was priceless when they finished telling him everything they wanted.
-
Ray waved the waiter off, and laughed as he left. "Did you see his face?"
-
Acon put a hand over her beak as she snickered. "Oh yeah. Who wouldn't have seen that?" She joked, cackling loudly.
-
Ray sighed, and after a time looked at Acon. "Y'know...I haven't been this happy in a good while."
-
Acon tilted her head, giving Ray a small smile. "Oh yeah? Why's that?" She reached across the table and placed a hand on Ray's paw.
-
Ray sighed. "Just a few...business problems...that's all." He offered a weak smile, but his cheeks burned when Acon's hand reached his own paw.
-
Acon poked Ray's nose. "Don't be sad, little bird. Listen, how 'bout after brunch, I make it worth your while?" She winked. "At the arcade!"
-
Ray shrugged. "I guess...never been a fan of arcades but...eh. Why not?" He sighed. "Thanks, Acon."
-
Acon chuckled. "It's okay. We don't have to go to the arcade. I just thought I'd say something that sounded more fun than moping about like a depressed manatee."
-
Ray chuckled. "I suppose that's a better alternative. Anyway...where's our food?" He looked around for the waiter 'It's been a while..."
-
Acon furrowed her brow. "Yeah... It has been a while, hasn't it?" She turned around to see what the hold up was, but when she saw what was behind her, she nearly shat her pants. "Uh... We need to go. Now." She whipped back around to face Ray. "The cops are here."
-
Ray blinked. "O-Oh..." He stood up, and offered a paw to Acon. "C'mon dear, we're going to be late for our...appointment..."
-
Acon stood up slowly, taking Ray's paw. "We're so dead if they see me." She whispered.
-
Ray quickly lead Acon towards the door, hoping the police wouldn't notice them.
-
One of the officers talking to the host noticed Ray and Acon as soon as they stood. "Hey, you two." He called.
-
Ray blinked, and stopped. "Yes sir?" He looked at the officer, and smiled. "How can I assist?"
-
The officer eyed Ray a moment before he looked at Acon who was hiding her face skillfully in Ray's shoulder. "We're looking for someone. Keeps coming into town, running hefty restaurant bills and then skips out halfway through the meal."
-
Ray tilted his head. "Huh...I didn't hear this. Who's the suspect?"
-
The officer shrugged before he pulled out a blurry black and white photo. "Some bird. By the looks of things, she's a vulture of some sort." He tossed a glance at Acon again before he handed Ray the photo.
-
Ray looked at the photo for a few moments, before shaking his head. "Sorry, I haven't seen her." He then took a long shot. "Would you please stop staring at my soon-to-be wife? She's not good with strangers; she's paranoid schizophrenic." He chuckled. "Getting her to talk to me was a hassle, but it was worth it."
-
The officer looked at Ray, wide eyed and put his hands up in an apologetic gesture. "O-oh! I'm so sorry. I hadn't realized." He stammered. Acon smiled into Ray's shoulder, trying not to laugh or let her smile show.
-
Ray nodded. "Thank you." He then started out the door with Acon, still blocking her from the officer. "We'll keep an eye out for that suspect."
-
The officer thanked them as they left. Acon lifted her head once they were out of the policemen's sight. "That was close."
-
Ray sighed audibly. "Yeah...too close." He smiled. "But, we made it, so that's a bonus."
-
Acon snorted. "I'll say." She rolled her eyes. "Jeeze. I can't believe they're actually searching for me because of something so small. Like... For real? Waist of the police department, if ya ask me."
-
Ray shrugged. "Someone makes enough fuss, and the police'll start looking. 'Sides they get kickbacks for it."
-
Acon scoffed in disgust. "Eww. I don't know why that pisses me off, but it does. The police could be doing something more important." She sighed. "It's whatever, I guess."
-
Ray sighed. "Yeah....what're we gonna do now? Now that we can't dine and dash."
-
Acon shrugged before she turned to Ray. "You know... We just met, but I feel like we've known each other for a long time. Years even. Is that weird?"
-
Ray blinked at the thought. "Uh...I...I guess so? Maybe in another life we knew each other?"
-
Acon smiled, stepping closer to him. "Yeah, maybe." She laughed, cause I mean... We seriously just met, but we're hanging out like long time pals."
-
Ray chuckled. "Yeah, we hit it off pretty well."
-
Acon linked arms with Ray as she began leading him down a small street in the opposite direction of the hotel. "So... Where to now? I'm sure a handsome catch like yourself has a lady you need to attend to, so I'm sure I don't have you very much longer right?"
-
Ray shook his head. "I don't have anyone waiting for me. I used to, but..." He looked downcast for a moment, before speaking. "Anyway, I thought you had a plan?"
-
Acon raised a thin brow before she pinched Ray's cheek. "Nope! Now, I'm curious. What was that look?"
-
Ray sighed. "She left me soon after I got employed. She was just a trick to get me to work."
-
Acon's smile grew wider. "Details! Name, age, salary... Why'd she need ya to work? What was her purpose exactly?"
-
Ray shook his head. "I really don't want to talk about it."
-
Acon pouted. "Aww, come on, Ray~" She whined.
-
Ray sighed. "I used to work for a...a mob boss, I guess...had me do all sorts of stuff. Used this cat-chick...Jenivive...to woo me into joining up with him."
-
Acon wiggled her eyebrows. "Ooh~ Jenivive. Did you love her? Did she love you? Were you two... In love?" She pried like an annoying child.
-
Ray nodded. "I did love her. I don't know about her though." He sighed. "But, that was a good long while ago."
-
Acon bounced around from one foot to the other as she giggled like a school girl. "Do you still love her?"
-
Ray shook his head. "Not anymore. She nearly cost me my life."
-
Sighing, Acon wrapped her arms around Ray's waist. "Aww. Well, I'm gonna almost cost you your life a thousand times, but you should know it's only cause I love you."
-
Ray blinked. "W-Well...that's different, 'cause I d-don't think she loved me."
-
"You ever try to kiss someone with a beak, Ray?" She asked, looking up at him.
-
Ray shook his head. "No...why?"
-
Acon leaned upward, pressing the end of her beak against Ray's nose. "It's really freaking hard. Don't do it, it's a trap."
-
Ray nodded, startled slightly. "O-Okay. Acon...can I ask what you're doing?"
-
Acon smirked, giving a small shrug. "Nothing. Kiss me."
-
"But you just said it's a trap." Ray then blinked, and realized what exactly was said. "Wait, what?"
-
Acon laughed. "I've taught you well. Now, kiss me. For real."
-
Ray blinked. "A-Acon...that's a little fast, don't you think?"
-
Acon waved a hand a hand in the air nonchalantly. "Psh~ ain't no thang." She giggled, taking a step back and releasing Ray. "You're such a cutie."
-
Ray's face burned up. "A-Acon...you're embarrasing me."
-
Letting out a small laugh, Acon pinched Ray's burning cheek and gave him a wink. "Yeah yeah. Okay, dumb dumb. What do ya wanna do now?"
-
Ray shrugged. "We could go catch a movie? I heard the new Terminator movie is playing."
-
Acon offered Ray a wide grin. "Oh that sounds lovely! Let's do that!" She chipped.
-
Ray nodded, and started towards the theater. "Good, I'll pay for the tickets."
-
Acon raised a brow, following close behind Ray. "Hey... What's wrong? Why ya acting so weird now?" She grabbing hold of his paw.
-
Ray sighed. "I'm sorry...I was just kinda thrown off by what just happened."
-
Acon moved so that she stood in front of Ray. "Oh, I'm sorry... You're mad at me now, aren't you?"
-
Ray shook his head. "I'm not mad. I just..." He placed a paw gently on Acon's shoulder. "I don't know how to kiss a beak."
-
Acon put a hand on Ray's paw and smiled up at him. "That's a good thing. After all, it is a trap."
-
Ray chuckled. "Yeah. So...about that movie?"
-
"Forget the movie." She scoffed, wrapping her arms around Ray's neck. Standing on her tip toes, she pressed her beak against his lips.
-
Ray blinked, but then returned the kiss.
-
Acon kept him like this for a moment. Once she broke away from the kiss, Acon smiled at him mischievously. "What did I say about kissing someone with a beak?" She yelled before biting Ray's nose and screeching like a pterodactyl, flapping her arms and running away.
-
Ray yelped, blinked, and stumbled backwards, completely confused. "W-Wha~...w-why? W-Who?"
-
Acon laughed loudly as she made her way to the theater across the street. "Ray, hurry up or we're gonna miss it!"
-
Ray shook his head, and quickly followed Acon. He payed for two tickets, and led Acon to the theater.
-
(Anyone heard anything from Vivi?)
-
(She often disappears so no I don't. Anyways I should post in hopes others will.)
Zaida stood stretching, she scanned the area. Only to see a car down the street and an anthro step out but didn't think about it. Sighing softly she turned and walked back inside. Closing the door behind her her tail stopping it and closing it silently. Zaida listened for a moment hearing the shower being turned off. Finally... He takes forever.
Devin grabbed his towel, beginning to dry off and stepping out of the shower. He covered his lower half with the towel, and walked downstairs to the laundry room. "Z, want to go eat out somewhere?"
"Sure, you pick though." The Vexū huffed laying on top of the couch her body limp. "I need a job..."
"Alright I'll think" He turned on the dryer. "Don't you have one?"
"Killing bad people isn't a job... It's just me killing and stealing." She huffed "Being a monster, and that isn't going to give me a good rep. I've been taking a break from that."
-
Ronnie nodded, and stuffed the note into his pocket. "Got it. I'll wait for your call, miss."
Ray was walking absentmindedly down an alleyway, and nearly collided with Acon. He, however, sidestepped at the last moment, and apologized. "S-Sorry..."
Zanthe nodded once, then patted Ronnie's arm. "Take care of yourself, Ronnie," she said, climbing out of the car and closing the door. (She will start walking to Zaida and Devin's house once Ronnie is gone.)
-
Ronnie waved, and sped off.
-
As soon as Ronnie was out of sight and she was certain she wasn't being followed, Zanthe made her way down the street to Devin's house.
-
Devin sighed and ran upstairs. "Tell me when the dryer is done. I forgot to do my laundry"
"Mhm" Zaida said looking at the T.v as she laid upside down. opening her mouth hearing the right side of her jaw pop as she opened.
-
Approaching the front door, Zanthe glanced around, then knocked a couple times.
-
Zaida sat up quickly, Hopping off the couch "Ugh..." She mumbled softly while walking over to the door. She looked through the peephole seeing a hybrid standing there. she unlocked and opened the door half way. "Zanthe?" The Vexū asked.
-
Zanthe blinked once, then regained her composure. "...Have we met?" she asked.
-
Zaida's head rested against the door "No. Devin told me you might come." She opened the door allowing her to come in.
-
Crossing the threshold, Zanthe glanced around the house before looking over at Zaida. "Nice place you have h..."
-
"It's mainly Devin's house. However I might move in." Zaida shrugged walking to the dryer taking out boxers and shorts. "Hold on." She walked up stairs.
A small kitten pounced over smelling zanthe's legs before running against her.
-

A small kitten pounced over smelling zanthe's legs before running against her.
Zanthe glanced down at the kitten and crouched down, carefully extending her hand and rubbing behind the kitten's ear.
-
The kitten sat closing her eyes purring softly. Licking part of her hand.
Zaida came back down stopping half way looking at the kitten and zanthe. "Her name is Vi."
After a minute Devin came down the stairs in his shorts. "Hi." He said with a light smile.
-
Zanthe gave the kitten a small grin and continued to stroke her until Zaida spoke. Glancing up, the catfox was greeted with the sight of the Vexu and Devin. "...Hey," she said, gently scooping Vi up and walking over, continuing to pet the kitten. "How are you holding up?"
-
"I'm good. Sorry I didn't answer the door I needed to clean up." He said patting a bandage right below his ribs. "Oh and Thank you." Devin said to Zaida.
"Mhm, no problem." she replied. "Zaida by the way." The Vexū said to zanthe.
The kitten continued to purr loudly.
-
"I'm good. Sorry I didn't answer the door I needed to clean up." He said patting a bandage right below his ribs. "Oh and Thank you." Devin said to Zaida.
"Mhm, no problem." she replied. "Zaida by the way." The Vexū said to zanthe.
The kitten continued to purr loudly.
"Nice to meet you, Zaida," Zanthe said, looking back at Devin. "Anytime, Devin. So... Should we do something together, then?"
-
"Yea, me and Zaida were actually planning to go eat somewhere."
Zaida began walking up stairs. "I need to get dressed first."
"Throw a shirt down for me while your at it." He said looking back at zanthe. "Although we are still figuring out where."
-
"Alright," Zanthe said. "Also... I'm doing fine as well." The catfox lifted her shirt enough for Devin to get a good look at her bandaged abdomen. "I still need to dye it again..."
-
"That's good to hear" he nodded looking at her abdomen. A shirt fell onto his face "thanks" his voice was muffled before her took it off. And began to put it on slowly avoiding to touch the bandage so much.
The kitten's eyes shot open and she began to rough play. Bitting and kicking her little paws before jumping out of zanthe's paws and onto her cat castle.

Pulling her shirt back down, Zanthe began to smile again as she watched the kitten play.
-
"She's real cute, huh?" He chuckled as Vi played around clumsily.
-
"She's real cute, huh?" He chuckled as Vi played around clumsily.
Zanthe nodded and glanced at Devin. "Quite," she said. "How old is she?"
-
"The vet said about one in a half." He shrugged lightly watching Vi eat.
-
"I see.... did you get her from an animal shelter?" Zanthe asked.
-
"No the streets, I was taking a stroll and she was in the alley as a little kitten. Terrible condition so I took her in." He said.
Zaida came down stairs wearing regular jeans, and a grey T-shirt.
-
"She looks much healthier now," Zanthe said, nodding once. "Also, it appears that Zaida has returned..."
-
"She is" he agreed before turning to look at Zaida. "She gets ready fast." Devin then asked "got the keys"
"Mhm" Zaida nodded tossing them over to Devin.
"Alright let's get going." Both of them headed to the garage. Zaida opening the door for them.
-
Zanthe walked through after Devin, glancing around. "Will these clothes be fine...?" she asked, motioning to her men's jean shorts and the shirt she borrowed from Devin.
-
"Uh hmm I don't know." He glanced over at Zaida.
"I actually have some new clothes I was going to return, you could borrow those of you like." She said "Come on."
"I'll start the car while you get dressed" he said to the two.
-
"Uh hmm I don't know." He glanced over at Zaida
"I have some new clothes I was going to return." She said "come on"
"I'll start the car while you get dressed" he said to the two.
Zanthe nodded. "Okay... See you in a bit, Devin," she said, following Zaida.
-
There were four rooms, and a bathroom. The others were empty, two king rooms. One being Devin's and the other Zaida's.
She opened her room welcoming zanthe inside. It was clean and organized, the walls were a grey with dark wood floors, a king sized bed near the window and a bathroom of her own.
On her cupboard was a glass tank, with sand and a fake skull which her tarantula rested on. she opened the bottom drawer and took out folded clothes. A few pants and shorts and some tank tops and shirts.
(Sorry it's a little long)

Zaida walked upstairs. There were four rooms, and a bathroom. The others were empty, two king rooms. One being Devin's and the other Zaida's.

Zanthe regarded the clothes for a second. "...Do you think they'll fit?" she murmured. (What sort of style does Zaida have clothing-wise?)
-
(Well nothing bright and extremely colorful. mainly greys or blacks, some whites, but some colors, again just nothing too colorful or bright)
Zaida sat back has the catfox looked through the clothes. "I'm sure some will..." She shrugged lightly.
-
(Well nothing bright and extremely colorful. mainly greys or blacks, some whites, but some colors, again just nothing too colorful or bright)
Zaida sat back has the catfox looked through the clothes. "I'm sure some will..." She shrugged lightly.
After a few moments, Zanthe selected a tank top, a t-shirt, and a pair of pants. "These should do," she said, turning away from Zaida and removing Devin's shirt. She was still wearing her tank top underneath, but since it was cut short and she hadn't had time to dye herself again, she couldn't go out like that. Also, she was still healing.
-
Zaida squinted looking at the different fur color. Hmp...Dye!? she thought with a slight snarled. "What is that" Her voice was cold. "....Do you think i'm an idiot? Who the hell are you?" she questioned with a hiss baring her teeth.
-
Zaida squinted looking at the different fur color. Hmp...Dye!? she thought with a slight snarled. "What is that" Her voice was cold. "....Do you think i'm an idiot? Who the hell are you?" she questioned with a hiss baring her teeth.
Zanthe glanced over her shoulder. ...Drat. I forgot it had faded on my back as well. "Exactly who I told you I was," the catfox replied. "I just dye my fur so that no one can track me all that well. This city's pretty dangerous." Sighing, the catfox pulled on the t-shirt.
-
"Hmm.." She stopped snarling then sighed through her nostrils a black smoke escaping. There was bit of silence before speaking "I guess so..." Zaida calmed herself down. "Devin may like you, but I don't trust you. So i recommend you don't try anything.." The vexu warned as she put the clothes away. "No one wants to get on a monsters bad side." she closed the drawer before standing and started to walk out of the room. Zaida stopped at the door waiting for Zanthe.
-

"No one wants to get on a monsters bad side." she closed the drawer before standing and started to walk out of the room. Zaida stopped at the door waiting for Zanthe.
Zanthe buttoned up her pants and nodded. "Don't worry... I won't try anything," she said. "Besides... You seem pretty tough. Something tells me that even if I wanted to try something, I'd probably injured a lot worse than I am now... if I lived through it." The catfox raised her bandaged hand as if to remind Zaida that she was hurt and probably wouldn't try anything... though the wound in her belly had nearly healed.
-
Zaida looked at the wound before looking back into her eyes with her teal glowing. "Telling me isn't going to change my thoughts. Maybe you won't, maybe you will... I'll have to see if I can trust you for myself." Zaida huffed lightly.
-
Zanthe shrugged. "I thought that might be the case," she said. "Anyhow, we shouldn't keep Devin waiting." Switching her things into the pockets of her borrowed clothes, the catfox glanced over at Zaida.
-
Zaida nodded and was already starting her way downstairs. She walked to the garage door waiting.
-
Zanthe was right on Zaida's heels, and held the door for her. "After you."
-
(Okay, I've been in the dark for a while, could someone fill me in on what has happened?)
-
Zaida glanced at her. "Thanks."
There was three vehicles his street bike, dodge charger, a matte black maserati. Besides that some tools on the walls and a door however was closed
Devin got in the charger and started it up.
Zaida sat in the back.
-
Zanthe, not wanting to put Zaida on edge, went to sit in the back as well.
(Stuff has happened.)
-
The garage opened and the car backed out into the street nd started to drive. "So I don't think we decided where to eat. Anyone have any suggestions?" Devin asked.
Zaida looked out the window. "Let me think." She replied.
-
Zanthe shrugged. "I'm your guest, so I suppose it's your decision," she said. "But.... maybe a place that is not commonly frequented by gangs and is out of the way."
-
"Right... Hm how about sushi? Do you like sushi zanthe?" he asked.
-
Zanthe shrugged. "Well, it's not my favorite food, but I'll eat pretty much anything," she said. Considering my occupation, I HAVE to be able to eat anything.
-
"Well I'm just throwing ideas, what is your favorite? Besides I got all day." Devin said with a light smile.
-
Zanthe thought for a moment. "Well... do you know any restaurants that use wild edible plants?" she asked.
-
"Blossom." Zaida said.
Devin paid attention to the road. "Alright, blossom it is." After a few minutes of driving. He slowly made a stop, and parked the car near the restaurant.
-
Zanthe carefully pushed the door open and slid out, looking around out of habit. "So did you want me to pay?" she asked. "Just... in advance, would you like me to help with the bill?"
-
"Nah, don't you worry. I got it." Devin assured with a light smile.
The zebra came over. "Three? Alright, you can take a seat here. And my name is jake, I'll be your waiter for tonight."
Zaida sat down and looked around, before opening her menu.
Devin pulled the chair back for zanthe, before sitting in his seat.
-
Zanthe slid into her chair and picked up a menu. "Well, I'm pleased with the broad selection of choices available," she said. "What do you two usually get?"
-
"Well I never really go to places like this... Although baked purslane and milkweed pods look good." Devin said looking through the menu.
"I'm getting the burdock brown rice and mushroom." Zaida said setting down the menu. "With unsweetened iced tea."
-

Zanthe nodded and looked over the menu. ".... I think I might get the dock leaves and root medley," she murmured.
-
The zebra walked over. "I overheard your guys order, so I decided to write it down if that's fine. Would you like to change it or have anything to drink?" He asked, clicking the pen.
"Guest water with ice please." The hybrid asked, then handed him the menu.
"Unsweetened green tea." Zaida closed her menu, and gave her menu over to the waiter as well.

"Unsweetened green tea." Zaida closed her menu, and gave her menu over to the waiter as well.
"Just water, please," Zanthe said, handing over her menu in turn and leaning back a bit in her chair. "Though perhaps there could be some dandelion leaves mixed in with the dock?"
-
The zebra took the menu "Yea, of course." He shook his head, while writing it down. "Alright I'll be back." he smiled walking off.
Zaida rested her head on the table tapping her claws, her eyes studying the restaurant.
Devin had his hands folded. "This is nice, I've never ate wild plants before."
-
"There are certainly plenty of them," Zanthe replied, calmly swishing her tail. "In fact, some plants that are often considered weeds are actually quite nutritious. Of course, to properly gather wild plants, it is important to know which ones are safe and which ones... " The catfox blinked and shook her head. "Sorry about that," she murmured.
-
"No no it's fine, I don't mine." he assured with a light smile, showing interest.
A macaw came over and set down the drinks with straws.
Zaida grabbed her tea, taking a sip listening as well.
-
"No no it's fine, I don't mine." he assured with a light smile, showing interest.
A macaw came over and set down the drinks with straws.
Zaida grabbed her tea, taking a sip listening as well.
Zanthe rubbed the back of her head, a bit surprised that they were actually interested in her knowledge of wild edible plants. "...You're certain?" she asked. "I know a lot..."
-
"Yea, go on. Sounds interesting" Devin encouraged the catfox with a light smile.
Zaida took out the lemon off her glass before she continued to sip some of her unsweetened iced tea.
-
Encouraged, Zanthe nodded once. "Alright...Like I was saying, it is important to know which plants are safe to eat and which are not. Some dangerous plants can look almost identical to safe plants, and..." The catfox continued to discuss the subtle differences between certain plants, and how to tell the safe ones from the dangerous ones.
-
"Hmm alright... I don't know much about wild plants, so that's something new." Devin said. "This is actually my first time eating wild plants." He added.

Red sat at a bench that overlooked acension's coast, The air was much colder then In the city, and A large amount of coastal fog obscured the horizon, the sky was a cloudy grey and blocked any form of brighter sunlight to get past, The smell of seawater was strong was the waves crashed into the high rocks

-
(Welcome aboard Stowe)
-
Bailey was flying down the street in a sports car, his suit was stained red and his face was covered with a mask. After a few minutes he finally stopped in the nearest ally way. He got out and began to panic while looking in his pockets, "God damn it.. Where did I put my phone!" He tore his mask off and began to look in the car. Nothing. He got out and threw the mask on the ground while cursing. Then he saw in front of him, a restaurant. He looked at his suit then back at the restaurant. He took the jacket off which was covered in blood and quickly washed his face off with a water bottle.
He quickly checked himself if there was any more blood stains, he found nothing. Then he pulled a pistol out that was tucked behind his pants and placed it under the back seat of the car. He smiled and then began to walk towards the restaurant.
-
*Red was walking towards a nearby restaraunt, He wanted to have some A nice dinner for once, He looked around before sighing"This place is gonna leech my wallet"*he said thinking before shrugging it off, It couldn't be that bad..*
-
Bailey made his way into the restaurant, he scanned the room before making his way towards the nearest employee, "Excuse me? Do you have a phone I can use?" The employee asked, "Why?" Bailey frowned and scratched his head, "Um, m-my mother is in the hospital and I really need to use a phone." The employee sighed, "Use mine." Bailey smiled and grabbed the phone, "Bless your soul!"
He turned around and began to dial a phone number. He sat waiting for someone to pick up. "Hello? Who is this?" bailey whispered, "It's me Bailey!" The voice on the other line spoke back ,"Uh, you. What do you want?" Bailey began to panic, "Mike's dead, they set us up! I got the wrong car!" The voice screamed at him. Bailey sat down and began to listen to the voice lecture him. After a few moments it was quite and he responded back, "Yes sir." He hung up and handed the phone back, still sitting in his spot.
-
*Red managed to overhear some of the conversation, It didn't matter much to him, but he heard most of it, he leaned on the wall rubbing his neck softly*
-
Bailey gazed over at Red, noticing that he overheard the conversation. He got up and looked around the room before making his way back to the car, he kept looking around while he walked out to make sure no one followed him.
-
*Red looked at bailey, He lit a cigarette before putting it in His mouth, Whatever that vulture matters included, It definitely wasn't him*
-
As Bailey opened the door to leave the restaurant he stopped in his tracks and stood thinking, "Maybe I should stay and have a drink..." He turned around and sat down at one of the booths. A zebra walked over and asked what he wanted, "Just a water." The zebra walked away and came back shortly with it. Bailey took a sip from the water and just sat their thinking.
-
The zebra walked over to zanthe's, devin's, and zaida's table. He set down the plates with proper kitchenware. "Here you go. If you guys need anything, just wave me over." The zebra smiled before walking off.
-
Bailey finished his water then got up and left a five for the waiter. He exited the restaurant and made a quickly moved towards the sports car.

(Hey i'm finally back! If this rp is still alive i would like to restart because i have been gone for so long.)
Post Merge: August 12, 2016, 11:02:30 PM
Name: Moka
Age: ? (she has lived for many years, never really kept track though.)
Height: 5 ft 6 inchesWeight: 139 pounds
Species: Inkle (A mythical creature i made up. Basically its an anthro fox that has can produce magic paint from their finger tips, feet, and tail tip. Their fur changes color based on their mood like a mood ring.)
Clothing: A strange sundress of that has been dyed with Inkle paint, which allows it to change color based on the mood of the wearer.
Personality: Moka is a free spirit who loves to have fun, doesn't really listen to rules, and loves having fun. When threatened she doesn't mind picking a fight but never really takes any fight seriously and tends to toy with her enemies even when they are shooting at her.
Other(put stuff that can enhance the character or stuff): Moka's paint is a very strange substance that makes up her entire body. She is practically made of solid paint and when she uses it for her art or combat she is actually using her own blood. The more she uses the more exhausted she gets and if she uses to much she has a chance to kill herself. However the paint can be used for so many different purposes and anything Moka draws will magically spring to life. The limits to what she can create depends on how much of her internal paint she has available, how long it will take her to draw it out, and the laws that all inkles abide by.
The rules inkles abide by are fairly simple.
1. An inkle is forbidden from altering the art made by another person. This includes the art that is a living creature, but killing said creature is fine if in self-defense.
2. The paint of Inkles is sacred. Never hand out any products created using Inkle paint.
3. Never try to steal art from other artists or inkles and never claims others art for your own.

Bailey finished his water then got up and left a five for the waiter. He exited the restaurant and made a quickly moved towards the sports car.
When Bailey got to his car he could see what looked like someone finger painting on ground in the middle of the street. It was some yellow Fox girl that was humming a song as she drew.

"Hmm alright... I don't know much about wild plants, so that's something new." Devin said. "This is actually my first time eating wild plants." He added.
(Hey Vivi, if you'd still like to do stuff with Rose and Ruby and Cassy and Sierra and Cifero/Daisy, they were headed to where Sierra and Cifero/Daisy live.)
Zanthe looked over at Devin, water glass in hand. "Is that so?" she said. "Haven't been to the forest that much?"
-
(Sure, I just wasn't sure if you had moved on from that. With how long I have been gone I thought you might have given up on it, which makes even more grateful that you haven't. :))
(I also forgot where we were unfortunately. >.>)
-
"Well I've been a few time, but never ate any wild plants. However Zaida hikes a lot, although she's not familiar with plants, and she's more of a meat eater so she'll fish or sometime hunt." He said taking a drink.
-
(I'll get to work on that. .w. Want me to send you the last few posts of what they did?)
Zanthe nodded pensively. "I see... Maybe we could all go on a hike sometime?" she murmured.
-
(Sure that would be fine.)

Sierra goes up the stair to her apartment fiddling with a number a keys.
"Well we're here." She said as she went up to one of the doors.

Cassy carefully padded over to Sierra, still lugging Ruby around over one shoulder. "Man, that took a while," she said. "It felt like months..." The crat looked at Ruby. "Well, at least it's well out of the way... Hope you have room for at least one more."
-
"I am sure we have a inflatable mattress." Sierra opens the door and calls inside.
"Cifero I am back and we have company. Also I destroyed the Cult of Tiamat."

Cassy followed Sierra inside, looking around. "I thought it was Daisy who was here right now...?"
"She was until about five minutes ago," a voice said, its owner seeming to be in the kitchen. "Give me just a moment, I need to make myself at least halfway decent..." Not long after this was said, a possibly male crat emerged from one of the rooms, wearing a pair of jeans and a small tank top that only covered his chest. "Hey, Sierra," he said, smiling at the android sheepishly. "Miss me?"
-
Sierra smiled blushing a little. "As good a friend Daisy is, yes I did."
Ruby started to groan as she was waking up.
"Oh yes, as you can see Cassy will be staying with us as well as uh...Ruby." Sierra said casually patting Ruby's butt.

Cassy surpressed a giggle as Sierra patted Ruby's butt.
The male crat nodded. "I'll get things prepared," he said, walking over to a nearby closet and starting to dig through it. "Cassy, you can put Ruby on the couch for now. I'd let you go in my room, but Daisy and I haven't really gotten around to cleaning it recently and I wouldn't want you to trip."
The younger crat nodded. "Alright," she said. "Oh... Nice to see you again, cousin." Cassy smiled widely, fluttering her wings a bit.
Her cousin smiled back. "Good to see you too."

*Red waited at a table In the "Blossom" Restaurant 'Hmph, Not like I have any money to lose" He opened up the menu on his table before chocking on his spit "What In gods name are these!?" He thought looking at the menu which held an array of wild Names and ingredients*

(Since Stowe hasn't responded I am putting Moka somewhere else.)
A waitress came to Reds table, who was a white fox that seemed rather unenthusiastic. She gave Red a pretty fake smile and wrote on a note pad.
"May I take your order?"
She appeared to be mute and a closer look showed she had a scar running almost around her entire neck.
-
*Red looked at the pad before sighing*"Lavander salad with Catails...Please."*He said kindly before putting his hand in his hood pockets*"And A cup of water, If that's okay."
-
The waitress nods and you see her name is Moka on her tag before she leaves to put in your order.
-
*Red looked out the window, Rain has seemed to have started, causing the window to be covered in droplets and condensation*"Rainy day, Huh?"*He chuckled to himself before rubbing his broken off horn*
-
Moka came back with your water and set it down. She wrote in her book and showed you.
"Is there anything else I can do for you?"
You notice she wrote something bellow it.
"I am bored and my shift is almost over. You seem fun so...want to hang out?"
-
"No it's fine"*Red said the top half before he looked at the bottom half*"Okay, why not?"
-
Moka's fur turned from white to red as you said that and leaves to get your food.
-
*Red continued to look out the window, As cars passed by, exhaust making visible condensation clouds*
-
I come back with your food and place it on the table before sitting down. I write in my book.
"You were my last table for today."
-
"Huh, okay."*He said looking at the paper before looking at her*
-
Moka smiles and rubs her scar a little.
"Tell me do you mind if draw you? I have a special kind of paint that you may appreciate." She wrote and flips to a blank page looking eager.
-
*Red nods in response, taking off his hood*"Alright."
-
Cassy surpressed a giggle as Sierra patted Ruby's butt.
The male crat nodded. "I'll get things prepared," he said, walking over to a nearby closet and starting to dig through it. "Cassy, you can put Ruby on the couch for now. I'd let you go in my room, but Daisy and I haven't really gotten around to cleaning it recently and I wouldn't want you to trip."
The younger crat nodded. "Alright," she said. "Oh... Nice to see you again, cousin." Cassy smiled widely, fluttering her wings a bit.
Her cousin smiled back. "Good to see you too."
Sierra went to help Cifero with the preparations.
As ruby laid there on the couch she woke up and looked around, still a little startled.
"Are there...Anny giant bugs here too?"
Cifero smiled sheepishly at Sierra as she approached. "So... The Cult of Tiamat?" he asked, scratching behind one of his ears for a moment. "You and Daisy have been busy... Did she get hurt recently?"
Cassy shook her head, taking her jacket off and hanging it up before walking over to Ruby. "They keep the place tidy," she said, motioning to Sierra and Cifero. "How are you feeling?"
-
Sierra didn't seem sure.
"She didn't seem hurt, I always make sure she stays safe but i could have missed something. Why do you need healing?"
"Better...I wish you had warned me about Rose's "pet". I am rather...scared by certain insects and spiders." Rubby says and sits up.
"One of you touched my butt...I was awake enough to feel that."
-
Cifero shrugged. "I haven't looked at myself yet," he said, looking at his clothing choice. "Also, I think this might be your shirt, considering the style." The tank top was full-length and dark. "... I had to hurry to dress, I literally had just arrived when you came home." The crat continued to move some boxes. "I suppose I've felt some minor pains, but... it's probably not serious."
Cassy stifled a giggle. "That was Sierra... she didn't mean anything by it," the crat girl replied, taking a seat on the couch. "Do you need help with the jacket? Sorry about the holes in the back... these things have to go somewhere." She fluttered her wings.
-
Sierra helped doing most of the heavy lifting. "It's fine, i can give a check up after we are done here."
"She better not do it again...and the jacket is fine but i would like a new dress or something." Ruby holds the jacket trying to cover her ruined wedding dress.
-
Sierra helped doing most of the heavy lifting. "It's fine, i can give a check up after we are done here."
"She better not do it again...and the jacket is fine but i would like a new dress or something." Ruby holds the jacket trying to cover her ruined wedding dress.
(Ruby was given new clothes but... eh, we can just say she never put them on.)
Cifero flushed and nodded. "Alright... I think they were over there...."
Cassy rested her chin on her hand. "Well... Sierra might have some clothes," she said. "But for now, we should probably get you out of that..." Grabbing her overnight bag, the crat girl dug through it until she found a red tank top and a pair of red shorts. "... It's no dress, but maybe these will do for now...?"
-
(Oh I forgot if we did.)
Ruby looks a little disappointed as she was kind of spoiled by the servants.
"Sigh they will do." She takes off the dress and jacket, not really carring about showing her underwear or scars to Cassy since she has been in the dancers locker room with you a hundred times by now.
Sierra walks in having finished moving stuff and sees Ruby.
"Uh Cifero can you stay back there?"
-
"Sure," Cifero replied, sitting down on a box. "To be honest, I kind of need a rest... Maybe we should do that thing soon."
Cassy waited for Ruby to change, only now really noticing the scars on the other girl's body. "... I know it's not my place to ask, but... did he do that to you?" she inquired as Ruby changed.
-
*Red started eating his salad, It was pretty good..For something made out of nondescript plants*
-
"Maybe, that'd be fun." Devin said before eating some milkweed pods.
Zaida remained silent, eating her rice and mushrooms.
-
Ruby's face darkens.
"Yes...he did every bit of it." She gets the clothes on but some of her scars can be still he seen from under them.
"Sure." Sierra leads Cifero into the room they shared and locks the door.
"Clothes off, keep your underwear on though." Sierra says bluntly.
-
Zanthe chewed a couple bites of her dock leaves and roots, thinking things over. "... Devin," she asked. "Zaida. Is there room where you live for one more?"
Cassy lowered her ears, looking at her feet for a moment. "...That's not right," she finally muttered, looking over at Ruby. "Did you want something to eat? I doubt you've had anything sine you started running..."
Cifero chuckled softly. "I wasn't going to go that far, but alright," he said, taking off his jeans and pulling the shirt off. "... That's odd... it feels... wet..."
-
Sierra inspect Cifero's entire body looking for any wounds or strangeness.
"I am fine..." Ruby's stomach disagrees with her.
-
Devin chewed and swallowed the pods before speaking "Mhm, we have a spare room upstairs." He nodded.
"We turned what was suppose to be a guest room into an office, which is downstairs... Having the one upstairs as a guest room since it's bigger and all.." Zaida added before drinking her tea.
"Yea we have a lot of space in the house since it's just us two." Devin finished.
-
*Red started eating his salad, It was pretty good..For something made out of nondescript plants*
*Red nods in response, taking off his hood*"Alright."
(Sorry didn't see these)
Moka was drawing Red with remarkable accuracy and when she finished she showed him.
The painting was animated as it showed you smiling before giving a little spitt of fire. The animation went in rotation.
-
"Wow, Thats good!"*He said before coughing, keeping himself in his stoic attitude*"Remarkable, I mean."
-
Moka passes you the painting having taken it out of her book. She seemed to be very prideful of it, but wanted you to have it.
-
*He took the paper before looking at her, smiling*"Thank you."
-
Zanthe swallowed another gulp of water, then looked at both Devin and Zaida. "I was wondering... Since my house is damaged beyond repair, would it be okay if I stayed with the two of you for a while?" she asked cautiously.
The crat's body seemed mostly okay, save for some scratches here and there. However, there were a few gashes on his sides and strange cut on his midriff, shaped like a perfect oval and widely circling his belly button. "... Those were not there when I got here," he murmured, flushing a bit at the sight of blood.
Cassy grinned lightly. "I think I'll listen to your belly on that matter," she said, standing up and stretching out. "Do you have any dietary restrictions? I wouldn't want to poison you or anything."
-
Sierra starts healing using magic she did have but stares at the oval. "What is that?"
Ruby blushed. "I have no food allergies at least."
-
*He took the paper before looking at her, smiling*"Thank you."
Moka smiled and waited for you to finish eating.
-
Sierra starts healing using magic she did have but stares at the oval. "What is that?"
Ruby blushed. "I have no food allergies at least."
Cifero thought for a few moments, then pulled out a long knife with a large star ruby on its pommel and offered his hand to Sierra. "See if it's about the same size," he said, getting an idea of what might have happened as he contemplated the size and shape of the cut.
Cassy nodded and looked through the refrigerator and the cabinets. "What do you like to eat?" she asked. "There's a lot of stuff...." The crat looked over her shoulder and grinned. "I could make cookies..."
-
Sierra puts it in. "What did you do daisy?" She muttered to herself mostly.
Ruby gave Cassy a look. "I am not some bird at the park. I unfortunately don't know what common people eat so make me whatever."
-
*He took the paper before looking at her, smiling*"Thank you."
Moka smiled and waited for you to finish eating.
*Red finished eating after a while before he opened his wallet and put the exact amount of money needed*
-
Anny took the money for you and took it to the cashier before coming back. She writes.
"I know this is sudden but...I don't feel safe leaving alone tonight. You look capable and I would like your help."
-
"Alright then"*He said looking at the note before he looked back up at her*"Consider it done"
-
Moka looked around nervoualy and took you outside. The rain had died down to a light drizzle but unfortunately Moka still had to put away her note book so it wouldn't get wet. She hands you a letter that looked already opened and adressed to Moka.
-
*He looked at the note*
-
Dear little, pain in my rear end.
How dare you run from my lab when all I wanted was just sample of your paint, just a few tinsy quarts. Ok so I almost cut your head off, but I don't hear you complaining...but I guess you can't complain can you? That's right I still have your vocals cords, all nice and preserved on a jar on my shelf. However I want more, so I have sent my experiments to track you, kill you, and drag your remains back. I may call the them back if you come to my lab on your own, I promise it will hurt less...maybe. The ball is in your court.
Moka looks shifty as she is looking around for said experiments.
-
*Red read the letter before sweat slowly formed on his head and the tooth pick he kept in his mouth caught fire*"Experiments?"*He said before composing himself, wiping the sweat off his brow and exchanging his toothpick for another one*"Fine. But do you know anything about these experiments?"
-
Moka draws a picture of one on the ground. It looked twisted and evil, like it had combinations of multiple body parts to make one creature and her picture had an animations making say. "Rawr I is ugly!"
-
"Hey, it doesn't look THAT bad"*He said chuckling before his classic ego took over him*"I'd sure as hell beat this guy with JUST MY PINKIE FINGER!"*He smiled, flames happily puffing from his mouth*
-
Moka seemed to be looking up at something.
-
*Red stopped in the middle of a ridiculous show-offy pose before smoke came from his nostrils*"It's...behind me isn't it?"
-
Moka nods as the smell of rotting flesh touches Reds nose. The beast was hanging off the side of a building looking down on you two and let's out a roar. It was a hulking brute and six smaller versions came charging down an ally.
-
*Red choked on his spit...again before grabbing the tooth pick from his mouth*"Keep calm...Lady!"*He said as he obviously wasn't keeping calm, his mouth spewed flames from the sides*
-
Moka charged at the big guy and pointed for you to deal with the smaller guys. She didn't seem scared...in fact she seemed pumped.
-
*Red nodded and blew fire in the direcfion of the smaller guys*"CATCH PHRAAAAAAAAASE!"*Red screamed as he got filled with adrenaline*
-
They continue running even while on fire but some parts fell off. They leap at you in an at to dog pile you and rip you apart.
The big one leaps down and picks up a car, using it to try and smash moka. Moka was nimble though and danced around any smashing attempts and she paints circles on the grounds.
-
*Red growled, standing up from the dog pile, he roared loudly before tearing some off of his body and throwing them into the building, after which he tears more off before smashing two at full force into the side of a building*
-
Those two in particular fall to pieces not moving and the others drag themselves back up to continue their mindless charge.
Moka had been dodging the attacks for a while and as she drew one last circle the hulk managed to slam her and pin her. She struggles and tries to reach a hand to one particular circle with an x on top, all the others seemed to glow with active magic and pointed towards the hulk.
-
*Red threw thew three off into the path of a Semi before seeing the magic and looking at the larger one*
-
The large one slammed Moka against the ground, banging her head and making her bleed paint from her forehead. All the magic circles seem to link to the x circle, like that particular circle was the trigger.
-
Sierra puts it in. "What did you do daisy?" She muttered to herself mostly.
Ruby gave Cassy a look. "I am not some bird at the park. I unfortunately don't know what common people eat so make me whatever."
The gem on the pommel is clearly smaller than the cut itself when placed directly on the navel. Cifero cocked an eyebrow and glanced around the room, noting for the first time that there was blood trailing from the doorway to the desk against one of the walls. "She tends to leave notes for me before we switch... perhaps we could look over there?"
Cassy furrowed her brow at Ruby. "Sure," she said, turning around and working at making some food.
-
Ruby frowned and realized maybe should cut the the attitude.
Sierra began looking around to find said notes.
-
*Red ran toward the circle sliding into it*
-
The circle glows red and then all the other circles glow brightly. Dozens of beams of light launch from the circles and penetrate the hulk at multiple points in its body. The beast gives one last roar as it can't keep together any longer, falling to pieces. I fall to the ground and lay their unconscious but still breathing.
You hear another roar off in the distance but it's fairy far away.
-
*Red held his kneews before he spat out some blood*"Those little guys pack a punch.."*He said before he looked at moka, he the grabbed her, slinging her over his shoulder*
-
Moka was fairly hurt and was still bleeding paint from her head. You felt that she had a broken arm and possible very bruised ribs.
-
*Red sighed deep in thought*"If i took her to the hospital, that would be the first place those experiments would look for her...same for her house, If that guy knew what her adress was"*He huffed, putting a tooth pick in his mouth before he started walking to his house*
-
The walk there was uneventful but one of the camera's on the street follows you as we leave the scene.
"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid DRAGON! I almost had her!!! " A hyena yelled as he had hacked the restaurant security camera's and had been watching the fight. He got up and flipped a table in frustration sending papers and things flying everywhere. The mysterious hyena stood there for a moment heaving in rage, before calming down.
"...no matter...I will have her. I just need to try a different approach." He hit a button labeled "recall minions" and the experiments came pouring running to his location.
-
*Red continued walking, before stopping at an apartment building, he opened the door and walked toward the elevator*"Atleast you're light, huh?"*He chuckled before pressing the button to the third floor, after a few minutes the elevator opened before he walked In, looking at the graffiti covered walls, not noticing the camera inside*
-
(Just so you know the "evil villain" has no idea about where red lives. He only has access to cameras that he knows Moka passes by on a daily basis. But that doesn't mean that camera won't be important later.)
Moka starts to stir in your arms like she was waking up.
-
*Red felt her stir before he sighed*"It's going to hurt like hell when you do wake up."*He said the elevator door opened, he walked down the halls as a florescent light flickers, he stopped at a Red door before he unlocked and opened it*
-
Moka groans and screams silently. She would be really loud if she wasn't mute.
-
*Red ran, laying her on a floor matress before running into his bathroom, after some sounds of struggle he brought bandages and braces*
-
Moka tried not to cry as she layed there. The last time she felt pain like this was when her head had been cut off.
-
*Red knelt next to her*"Sorry, but this miiight hurt a bit"*He said, feeling her broken arm, before he placed a brace underneath it*
-
Moka grit her teeth and grabbed Red's shirt mostly just because of stress.
-
*Red sighed, before putting her arm up, placing another brace on the top before wrapping her arm with some bandages*
-
Moka gives you a smile through gritted teeth but still feels a slight throbbing in her arm. She pulls out her notebook and writes in with her left arm. The hand writing wasn't as beautiful as it was...in fact it was kind of hard to read.
"Tank you, I not survive is not poor you."
-
*He smiled back before falling back towards the back of his sofa*"You can stay here as long as you need he said wiping some blood away from his mouth and rubbed over some of the claw marks that where left on him*
-
The blood feels thicker then normal blood and is very colorful. Some of my blood actually closes your wounds when touches them.
-
*Red got up, before locking the door, he sighed and looked at the table that held a violin and some music sheets, he opened the window of his apartment, letting the fresh after-rain air fill the room*
-
Moka tries to get up but feels an immidiate pain in her rib. She blushes and lifts her arm to signal for carrying, then points go the couch.
-
*Red walked to her, before carrying her to the couch, setting her down on it*
-
She smiled and really tries to say thank you...but all that comes out is grunts and noises.
-
*Red smiled back, before looking at his matress, which was covered in paint*"Heh, That's gonna be a Pain-t to clean"*He chuckled before the smell of petrichor filled the room, along with a cool breeze, he sat at his violin desk, and opened his laptop, before a sharp pain hit his chest*
"Ack--"*He growled, noticing the large slaw mark on his stomach*
-
Moka grunts and gestures for you to come over to her.
-
*Red walked over to her*"Yes?"
-
She rubs Paint over the wound and you feel a stinging sensation as the wounds starts closing.
-
*Red looked at her*"Wow, handy arentcha?"*He smiled*
-
Moka smiles but is looking rather pale...like she has lost a lot of paint blood.
-
*Red realizes what was happening before he sighed*"Just...Rest please"*He said before looking outside, the sun was setting*"If you need anything, try to get my attention"
Post Merge: August 23, 2016, 04:14:17 AM
*Red sighs, before saying*"Rest please"*He got up, as the sun started setting sitting back at his desk*
-
Moka seeing your back turned, grabs some pens nearby and starts breaking them to drink their ink.
-
*Red looked at the sunset, before grabbing the remote for the T.V and turning it on*
-
The news was on and it there were reports of monsters attacking the city. There was footage of swat fighting them in the streets and one clip showed our fight near the restaurant. They proclaimed us as heroes for helping clear out these horrible creatures, but there was no clear shot on our faces.
-
*Red got up from his desk sitting jear Moka, looking at the T.V*
-
Moka tried to hide the remaining pens behind her back...but had ink all over her face.
-
(Updated my sheet, Both for Zaida and Devin.)
Zaida looked over at Devin "Mainly your house, so it's choice. I don't mind anyways..." She said.
"Sure. You can stay as long as you want." He said with a light smile. "Besides I'm kind of the reason your house is... You know." He rubbed the back of his head nervously.
-
Ruby frowned and realized maybe should cut the the attitude.
Sierra began looking around to find said notes.
Zanthe shrugged. "Who's to say?" she murmured. "For all we know, you may have actually saved my life... Ironic as that may seem." The catfox absentmindedly touched her healing abdomen.
Cifero examined his abdomen a touch longer, sheathing the knife and probing the area. "Well, it's definitely not all too serious for me," he said, cocking an eyebrow. "This is just a surface wound, and there's no evidence of internal damage... Still, this hasn't happened to me before. Usually when we switch, all injuries are healed... excluding scars." The crat gently felt the small hole in the upper rim of his navel, where he usually had a piercing. "Any luck with the notes?"
Some pages had bloodstains on them, and were hastily scrawled.
After a little bit, Cassy walked over with a tray that contained a couple of sandwiches, some small bags of chips, and two bottles of water. "They haven't gone shopping recently, but I suppose this will work just fine," the crat girl murmured, placing the tray down on the coffee table. "Here... this one's yours." She pushed one of the plates towards Ruby, then picked her own sandwich up and began eating quietly after a silent prayer.
-
Sierra handed them to Cifero and leaned over his shoulder to read them.
Ruby sighed
"I apologize if I was a bit of a brat earlier...the servants used to spoil me so I am used to being treated like a "princess" by them. Father may not have done the same but I was still used to it." She took a bite of the sandwiche.
-
*Red got up from his desk sitting jear Moka, looking at the T.V*
Moka got seemed to be less focused on the tv and more focused on red, blushing slightly. Soon it was getting hard for her to keep her eyes open.
-
*Red looked at the T.V*"Welp, I guess that's the most productive I've been in a while"
-
Moka had drifted off to sleep by now and seemed to be having a nightmare as she was shifting constantly in her sleep.
-
*Red looked at her, before thinking...He got up and sighed looking for a blanket, he grabbed one before putting it over moka, watching her not knowing how to stop these nightmares without waking her up*
-
As soon as she felt you on her she started to calm down. She curled up into ball and slept slightly more peacefully.
-
*He pat her head before turning off the T.V, leaving only red and the silence of an Acension night, crickets gently chiped before red sat on his matress*
-
(What should we do now that our characters are sort of asleep?)
-
*Red woke up, looking around the apartment*
-
At first Moka was no where to be seen, until cooking could be smelled from the kitchen.
-
*Red sniffed the air before chuckling*"Welp, she beat me to it"
-
The kitchen was kind of mess as Moka had trouble cooking with her left arm. The food she was cooking looked fine and smelled quite good...it just looked misshapen or slightly more crispy then it should be. She already had a plate for you, she was still making hers.
She had made bacon, misshapen pancakes, and eggs.
-
*Red smiled at her before saying*"Well, you didn't have to do this.. But thanks!"*Red grabbed the plate and set it down at the table*
-
Moka smiled and picks up her plate. You notice she had her right arm in a sling that seemed to be made of one of your household towels.
-
*Red looked at her, starting to eat the food.*
-
The food tastes great, better then probably most breakfasts you have eaten. Moka sat in front of you and took a bottle of paint, pouring all its contents on her food before eating.
-
*Red looked at her pour the bottle of paint over her food, he shrugged before continuing to eat*
-
It's been a few days since Bailey did his little 'Job' He sat in his apartment in pajamas and stared at his television. The only sounds that could be heard was from the TV, the only light was also coming from the TV.
After a few moments his phone rang, he picked it up and answered it, "Heyo." Chatter was heard, Baileys face turned from a smile too a annoyed expression, "Yeah... I'll do it." He hung up and got dressed. He put a jumpsuit on with a bulletproof vest over the top (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/409IGgu-Utw/maxresdefault.jpg)
Over his head was a balaclava he quickly ran outside and got in a small car, he quickly drove off down the street.
After a while his car began to stutter and die. He slammed his fist into the horn, it blared. "MOTHER FUUUU.... God DAMN IT!" He thrashed around in his car while screaming. He got out and quickly dashed over behind a dumbster. In front of him was a apartment building. His best bet was to run into it. So without hesitation he ran towards the apartment building, people looked at him with concerned looks. A pistol was in his back pocket. He quickly ran to the apartment buildings and hid behind some stairs.
-
*Red sat continuing to eat, before finishing his breakfast*
-
Moka finished too and wrote something in her book.
"I appreciate you helping me, I don't think i would be alive now if it wasn't for you."
-
*Red smiled at her*"Oh, It's nothing really*He said starting to wash his plate*
-
Moka follows and does the same. She writes down.
"I do owe you something...since you saved my life I can give you one thing made of inkle paint. I could even offer my services for free and help you with whatever you want, be it as a servant, body guard but no assassinations. We don't do that."
-
*Red looked at her*"Maybe just someoje to keep me company, since i've been in isolation for a few months"
-
Moka blushed. She wrote. "That can also be arranged...girlfriend was one of the possible options."
-
*Red blushed, an orange color showing on his cheeks*"That...Uhhm"
-
Moka saw that and got flustered. She tried to write a bunch of excuses but at the pace she was going it came out as just a bunch of gibberish.
-
*Red continued blushing before saying*"Okay, why not?"*He said playing off his blush*
-
She stopped writing and looked up at red, slightly surprised. She simply nodded before she got so flustered she fainted.
-
*Red looked at her fall before he sighed and picked her up, setting her on the sofa....again, before he sat at his desk and leaned back in his chair*
-
It took a little bit for Moka to wake up. When she did she got up and came over looking shy. She held out her good arm for a hug.
-
*Red hugged her closely*
-
Moka hugged a little longer before grabbing her book and writing.
"Thanks, I know this is weird...but I just feel safe around you."
-
*Red nodded, looking at her with a kind smile*
-
Moka smiles back and goes to give red a kiss.
-
*Red kisses her first before blushing, and looking at her embarrassingly*
-
Moka blushes and as she holds the kiss, looking into reds eyes as her tail lifts straight up.
-
*Red blushed even more before breaking away and stumbling back*
-
Moka gasps silently and catches you. She looks worried now.
-
*Red blushed looking at her*
-
Moka helps red to his feet and blushes looking down, her tail drooping.
-
*Red kissed her heard before walking to the sofa*
-
"Yea... Maybe." He shrugged looking at her abdomen, placing his paw there. "How is it by the way. Healing well?"
Zaida watched with a furrowed brow, while eating her rice and mushrooms almost done with her meal.
-
Sierra handed them to Cifero and leaned over his shoulder to read them.
Ruby sighed
"I apologize if I was a bit of a brat earlier...the servants used to spoil me so I am used to being treated like a "princess" by them. Father may not have done the same but I was still used to it." She took a bite of the sandwiche.
The crat peered at the writing, just able to make it out through the bloodstains. "Hm... that's not good," he said. "According to these, Daisy, while on the way home, got stunned by a strange group of people who..." Cifero blinked. "... Who pinned her to the wall and tried to take her gem." He flipped to the next page. "What's more, they seemed to know something about her abilities, which is why they attacked her in the first place..." Turning to the last page, Cifero furrowed his brow. "She managed to get free, then lost them in the city before returning here, but whatever they had used to cut into her had left her mortally wounded... but she still has her gem." The crat looked down at the wound on his belly. "... Who do you think it could've been?"
Cassy nodded slowly. "I see," she replied, biting into her own sandwich and chewing thoughtfully as something occurred to her. "... Why belly dancing?"
Zanthe surpressed the urge to tense up as Devin touched her abdomen, but was unable to stop her cheeks from coloring ever so slightly. "Yes," she said, keeping her initial reply to-the-point. "Though the stab wound still has some way to go."
-
"Mmm again, I'm sorry about what I did. I'm usually assigned to other criminals. If I just knew ahead of time..." He huffed softly before carefully taking his paw away.
-
Zanthe gently touched Devin's shoulder. "Do not worry yourself," she said. "I have been stabbed in the abdomen several times before... as you probably noticed when you dressed my wounds." The catfox got a slight thousand-yard stare, but maintained a neutral expression.
-
"I did." He said in soft sympathetic voice. "I'm not saying right now but If you need to, you can talk to me zanthe..." He finished before taking a drink of water. "Also" Devin looked around, the restaurant getting empty. "After this I need to tell you something important... About my 'job'..."
-
Zanthe, breaking out of her slight stare, nodded at Devin's words. "Of course," she said, glancing around herself. "Perhaps I should take the remainder of my meal with me, to be safe."
-
He gave a nod. "Sounds good.." He pushed his empty plate to the side, zaida stacking her plate on his.
He waved over to the waiter. "We're ready to pay. Also could we have a box?"
The zebra came back with a box before Devin paid off the food.
-
Moving deftly, Zanthe emptied her food into the box, placed her plate with Devin and Zaida's, and closed the lid of the box, picking it up. "Thank you," she said to the zebra, bowing slightly before turning once more to Devin, her senses all over the place.

There was a bit of silence as they walked outside and into the car, Devin cautious. "Well my job. I don't actually work for the mafia..." He was very serious, his voice stern and eyes locked on hers. "I work for a secret a agency, a spy. It's my job to work for high shot criminals and take down them down. Like the mafia..." He sighed. "I would've told you sooner but I was ordered not to. I'm telling you this because I trust you, my life is now in your hands but I know you wouldn't betray me... At least I hope so."

I'm telling you this because I trust you, my life is now in your hands but I know you wouldn't betray me... At least I hope so."
Zanthe thought for a few moments, walking along beside Devin. As she did, her hand pushed up her shirt a touch and rested softly against the bandaged stab wound that was a little under and to the right of her navel. He trusts me... "...Were they the ones who ordered the hit on me?" she murmured silently to him in a curious way.
-
"No, of course not. The mafia did... Again, I thought you were another criminal so I went after you." He said looking down at her.
-
The catfox closed her eyes and nodded once, letting her hand fall back to her side. "... You didn't kill me back when you had the chance, Devin," Zanthe said, turning to Devin and opening her eyes. "You could've easily done me in, but you did not. That speaks much of your true personality." Her gaze looked slightly amused in a pleasant way for a brief moment. "To put it another way, I can assure you that your secret is safe."
-
(I Must say, The plot has thickened!)
-
With a light smile he rubbed the back of his neck. "Thanks, I'm glad to hear that... I really am." Devin said with a soft relieved sigh as they walked. "Hey, Zaida was taking the car home and since we're walking I was wondering... if you wanted to stop at the park maybe?"
-
*Red kissed her heard before walking to the sofa*
(Will update this post later to respond respond to everyone else. I am gone for a weekend and stuff piles up. T_T)
Moka followed but felt something was off as she sat down...but couldn't tell what.
-
*Red sat on the couch watching T.V*
-
Zanthe looked up at the sky, the dusk breeze rippling through her fur. "... I would be glad to go to the park with you," she said. "I do not think that I have been there yet."
-
"It's pretty nice, very open area and surprisingly kept clean. I like to relax or work out there sometimes." He gave a light smile. "And zaida is going to get your room ready back at the house." He finished as they walked, the park in the distance.
-
Zanthe looked at Devin for a moment, her usual unreadable expression on her face. "I see," she replied, rubbing behind one of her ears as she walked beside him. "...She seems to be rather careful about who she trusts." The catfox shrugged. "Which is, I suppose, a good thing, considering your own profession."
-
"Yea, she's always been untrusting and cautious around others, especially me at some point.. Zaida is really kind and caring once you get to know her, and a bit silly. I'm sure she'll warm up to you." He shrugged lightly as they walked onto the grass of the park.
-
Zanthe walked along for a few steps, enjoying the feeling of natural earth under her paws, though she did not show it. "...Silly, huh?" she murmured, glancing around at the park. "I will take your word for it..." The catfox, not sure what else to do, reached over and took Devin's hand.
-
"Yea she doesn't se-" he stopped talking suddenly, when she grabbed his hand. A bit flustered, before holding her hand as well. His paws gentle with hers. "It's nice huh?" Devin asked as they walked through the park.
-
Zanthe nodded once, quite flustered herself as evidenced by the almost unnoticeable blush on her cheeks. "Very nice," she said, glad to be where she was.
-
*Red knocked on Devin's house door, Intending to talk to someone*
-
Moka had stayed behind as she felt safer there. She just drew in her book and waited for red.

Sierra handed them to Cifero and leaned over his shoulder to read them.
Ruby sighed
"I apologize if I was a bit of a brat earlier...the servants used to spoil me so I am used to being treated like a "princess" by them. Father may not have done the same but I was still used to it." She took a bite of the sandwiche.
The crat peered at the writing, just able to make it out through the bloodstains. "Hm... that's not good," he said. "According to these, Daisy, while on the way home, got stunned by a strange group of people who..." Cifero blinked. "... Who pinned her to the wall and tried to take her gem." He flipped to the next page. "What's more, they seemed to know something about her abilities, which is why they attacked her in the first place..." Turning to the last page, Cifero furrowed his brow. "She managed to get free, then lost them in the city before returning here, but whatever they had used to cut into her had left her mortally wounded... but she still has her gem." The crat looked down at the wound on his belly. "... Who do you think it could've been?"
Cassy nodded slowly. "I see," she replied, biting into her own sandwich and chewing thoughtfully as something occurred to her. "... Why belly dancing?"
Zanthe surpressed the urge to tense up as Devin touched her abdomen, but was unable to stop her cheeks from coloring ever so slightly. "Yes," she said, keeping her initial reply to-the-point. "Though the stab wound still has some way to go."
Sierra shrugs but looks very serious. "If they knew how to get in here...they will do so again."
"Belly dancing is just sort of a family tradition. A lot girls in my family knew how to do it and we believe it makes us dance like the fire we create." Ruby says before eating.
-
*Red looked back at Moka, pointing at the door nonchalantly before continuing knocking the tetris theme*
-
Devin looked at the now setting sun, he rubbed the back of his neck. "I really like... hanging out with you zanthe. It's nice to have you around." He said as they walked under a tree. He then sat down patting the grass for her to sit with a light smile before looking at the sunset.
Zaida was playing Overwatch in her Pj's, her ears flicked as she heard a knock on the door "better be that onesie I ordered... I've been waiting forever" she mumbled. The monster quit the game and got up drinking the last of her energy drink. Zaida opened the door "Yea?" She asked red slightly disappointed to see no package anywhere.
-
"Hi"*Red waved, guessing Zaida would close the door immediately*"Remember me?"
-
The monster gave a soft sigh "Yea, why?.. What do you want?" Zaida asked looking at the two.
-
"To hang around, Counting the fact that I know no-one and personally need something to talk to, Other then myself"*He said calmly before slowly backing away from the door*"But it IS fine if you don't want that."

Moka had stayed behind as she felt safer there. She just drew in her book and waited for red.

Cifero read over the note again. "Not sure if they came here, but... if they knew about Daisy, they might know about me," he murmured, looking at Sierra. ".... I'd best lay low for a while, huh?" Smiling gently, he kissed her on the cheek.
Zanthe, as a formality, gently flashed a small smile of her own, taking a seat beside Devin to watch the sunset. She was also, against her will, blushing a little. "... I like our interactions as well."
Cassy nodded gently, eating more of her own sandwich. "Well, um... you're quite good at it," she said, shrugging and flushing a little. "I've seen you do it at times in class, and your movements are really fluid..."
-
"Fine then I'm not doing anything anyways..." She huffed. "But I'm not changing out of my Pj's its late anyways."
"Yea." He said enjoying the view. Devin thought for a moment before he sighed lightly. "I was wondering." He paused for a moment. "If you considered... Uh well... If you considered being more than friends?" The hybrid looked over at her. his fingers fiddled together nervously, however he tried to play it cool.
-
"Why would I ask that of you?"*He said looking at the sunset, before turning his head back towards her*
-
Zanthe stared forward for a moment, then looked over at Devin, her eyes a bit surprised. "...I assume you mean something akin to boyfriend and girlfriend?" she ventured.
-
"I don't know, now what?" She said scratching her head before fixing her hair which was slightly messy.
Devin nodded lightly. "Well, yea..." He turned his head back to watch the sunset. Devin grabbed her hand turning back and pecking her cheek. With a smile, he blushed.
-
Zanthe, blushing a touch more darkly now, raised a hand and touched her cheek, looking at Devin and recalling her previous reactions to the Sabard's touch. As she did, she slowly came to realize that she had come to care for him quite a bit. The catfox smiled gently back at Devin, then leaned in close and kissed him on the nose. "I would not be opposed to it," she said, squeezing Devin's hand lightly.
-
Devin looked into her eyes silent for a second. Once he felt her squeeze his hand, His thumb brushed the fur on the back of her hand gently. "I really do like you zanthe, I'd like to give it a shot... So what do you say, would you like to be my.. girlfriend?" He asked her slightly nervous.
-
Zanthe nodded once, a bit nervous herself but trying not to show it. "I... honestly would love that," she said, rubbing the back of her head with her free hand.
-
While devin smiled he blushed. "Great, I'm really looking forward to it." He said a bit shyly but was exited none the less.
-
Zanthe leaned back against the tree, looking over at Devin. "You and me both," she said, swishing her tail calmly.
-
"I don't know, now what?" She said scratching her head before fixing her hair which was slightly messy.
Devin nodded lightly. "Well, yea..." He turned his head back to watch the sunset. Devin grabbed her hand turning back and pecking her cheek. With a smile, he blushed.
"Your call, I am a guest afterall*
-
The hybrid slowly laid back on the grass next to the tree. A gave a relaxing sigh escaped his mouth while watching the last of the sun disappear behind the buildings and the mountains in the far distance.
"Yea? I didn't ask for any guests to come over. You and your friend came here... So decided." She huffed slightly annoyed and tired.
-
"I...Can tell you don't like my presence"*He said, sensing the annoyance in her voice easily*"I obviously caught you at a.... A less then welcome time.*He commented on her PJ's, spinning his hand in a circular motion*"Not to surprising, counting the usual disposition"
-

"Yea? I didn't ask for any guests to come over. You and your friend came here... So decided." She huffed slightly annoyed and tired.
Zanthe, after a moment or two, gently leaned into Devin a bit, placing one hand on his chest as she relaxed softly against him, enjoying the simple pleasures of relaxation.
-
"No I'm just annoyed you came here expecting me to entertain you both. Plus I'm tired." She crossed her arms.
Devin looked down at her as she did so. Without questioning, he gently began to rub her head.
-
"Entertain? No, I wanted to speak with someone whom I haven't spoken with in a while, Like a friend of some sorts.. But I guess the simplest of luxeries is hard to engage in"*He commented, a hint of toxic sarcasm in his voice*
-
The catfox, her usually hard exterior melting a bit, began to murr softly as Devin stroked her head, and rubbed his chest in return.
-
"Yea I'm afraid so" she scoffed coldly. "Sorry you and your friend wasted your time with me."
Devin smiled lightly glancing down at her. The sun slowly vanished leaving the sky which remained an ombré of orange and pink which slowly begin to fade. The hybrid rested his eyes enjoying the moment while it lasted
-
"When did I say it was wasted time?"*He said rubbing his jacket before putting his hand in his hoodie pockets*"I'd say it right now!, but i'd risk stating the brutally obvious, kinda disappointing to be completely honest"*He said before shrugging and smirking*"But hey, you like some brutally obvious things I see"*He said, pointing out her scoffing and such*
-
She didn't show any emotion and without a word, Zaida sighed and closed the door. She huffed walking back to the couch and laying back down.
-
*Red shrugged again before turning*"Welp, that was a disaster."*He looked at his watch and scratched is neck, before walking away, Keeping his usual disposition*"People change, and I sure as hell did so."*He chuckled before sighing through his nose*
-
"Yea I'm afraid so" she scoffed coldly. "Sorry you and your friend wasted your time with me."
Devin smiled lightly glancing down at her. The sun slowly vanished leaving the sky which remained an ombré of orange and pink which slowly begin to fade. The hybrid rested his eyes enjoying the moment while it lasted
Zanthe, as she watched the sun set at long last, felt herself wishing, just for a moment, that this moment would never end.
-
An hour or so past. The moon finally took over the sky, a sign that it was beginning to get late. Devin looked down at Zanthe and smiled lightly. He held the purring catfox in his arms as he began to walk home. It didn't take too long before he entered the house and walked upstairs setting zanthe in her bed in her room. The hybrid kissed the top of her head goodnight as he pulled the blanket over her body. He then walked off to sleep in his own room.
Zaida remained in her room drinking lavender tea as she looked out the window. The monster watched the night sky, a relaxed sigh escaped her mouth as the wind blew gently against her fur. It wasn't too long before she finally sleep.
-
*Red looked at the night sky, before chuckling and continuing to walk until he eventually reached the end of the street, eventually reaching a cul-de-sac area...A dead end, he sighed before climbing over the a brick wall, which led into another street where he started walking down before reaching a dark street Traffic seemed to be calmed and only the light of the street lamps broke the near pitch black environment*
"I'd wish that didn't turn out the way it did"*He said quietly to himself, before sitting at a bench that rested underneath a street lamp, the faint buzzing of bugs being attracted to the light could be heard before Red laid back and yawned, he slowly fell asleep while sitting, before finally reaching his slumber*

He held the purring catfox in his arms as he began to walk home. It didn't take too long before he entered the house and walked upstairs setting zanthe in the bed in the room which was now considered hers. The hybrid kissed the top of her head goodnight as he pulled the blanket over her body. He then walked off to sleep in his own room.
Zaida remained in her room drinking lavender tea as she looked out the window. The monster watched the night sky, a relaxed sigh escaped her mouth as the wind blew gently against her fur.
Zanthe, while mostly asleep, smiled once more as Devin kissed her on the head. She slept better that night than she had in a while.
-
Eventually it was morning and like usual. Devin was in some short in his room doing some morning work outs to wake him up, the door and window left open allowing some fresh air. Planning to take a fast shower afterwards.
Zaida was in her PJ's, black boxers with white crosses and grey tank top. She sat on the counter on her phone looking at food recipes for breakfast unsure what to make. "Ugh... They all look so good.." She mumbled.
-
*Red woke up before holding his head, and sighing*"**censor** me, That hurt my back"*He said as he got up and looked at his watch*"Pretty early, for someone of my calibre"*He started walking down the same street before reaching the outside of a local restaurant, where a bus stop seemed to be located*
-
Zanthe woke up around the same time as Devin and, like him, had also begun to do a morning workout regimen. However, because of her more supernatural status and the wounds in her abdomen, she did not need nearly as much exercise, especially this morning, because she usually went for a run in coyote form at some point every day, more than making up for her daily exercise requirements. After her workout, the catfox grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower and check/redress her injured stomach. (You choose when Devin goes in there.)
-
After Devin finished, he panted lightly while pacing around the room, drinking some water to hydrate himself. The hybrid finally undressed and wrapped a towel around his waist to cover him up. Before taking his fast shower, he first walked over to zanthe's room and lightly knocked on the door to make sure if she was awake or not.
Zaida was taking out some stuff to make breakfast, glancing at her phone from time to time.

Zanthe was in the shower when Devin knocked, having just finished washing up for the day. Turning the water off, the catfox quickly pulled on fresh undergarments and a pair of jeans before heading into her room to take a look at her stomach, since she had left the medical kit out there anyhow.
-
Devin waited a moment but didn't hear any response to any of his knocks. He thought for a bit not wanting to barge in, it wasn't long before he decided to enter the room.

Devin waited a moment but didn't hear any response to any of his knocks. He thought for a bit not wanting to barge in, it wasn't long before he decided to enter the room.
As Devin walked into the room, Zanthe suddenly whipped towards the door and got into a defensive stance, wincing noticeably. As she saw who it was, however, she slowly straightened up, gently placing a hand against her side, not quite wanting to touch her open wounds. "Sorry about that... It was more reflexive than anything," she said, her face mostly expressionless besides a very light blush on her cheeks. "...Good morning."
-
Devin blinked from her reaction. "It's fine I understand. Sorry for barging in, I just came in to see if you were doing alright." He gave a light smile. "And, Morning." He looked at her side. "You should sit down..." Devin said leading her to the bed. "Do you need any help or anything?" He asked.
-
Zanthe shrugged, sitting down on the bed as Devin suggested. As she did, part of her tattoo could be seen in the moments before she turned around to sit. "I don't know... I may have done something to my wounds when I moved like that," she murmured, looking at her stomach. "They seem alright to all of my senses, but if you'd like to check them over, then be my guest." The catfox looked up at Devin. "I promise that I will cooperate."
-
He looked at the wound on her side for a moment before nodding. "Despite being a wound...Overall looks good. Doesn't seem like anythings wrong." Devin sat on the bed beside her.
-
He looked at the wound on her side for a moment before nodding. "Despite being a wound...Overall looks good. Doesn't seem like anythings wrong." Devin sat on the bed beside her.
Zanthe looked at her side, noting a bruise there. "... Yeah, that's alright," she murmured. "I was more concerned about the stab wound on my abdomen, though..." The catfox laid back on the bed slightly, letting Devin take a look.
-
"It's healing well." He pat her abdomen gently before laying down. "Are you trying to make me feel bad?" He chuckled.
-
"It's healing well." He pat her abdomen gently before laying down. "Are you trying to make me feel bad?" He chuckled.
Zanthe smiled lightly, closing her eyes as her cheeks flushed a little. "Not on purpose," she said, swishing her tail. "How did you sleep, Devin?"
-
"As soon as I got into bed I crashed, so pretty good." He chuckled "How about you, how's the room?" Devin asked her.
-
"As soon as I got into bed I crashed, so pretty good." He chuckled "How about you, how's the room?" Devin asked her.
Zanthe put a hand behind her head and looked up at the ceiling, the other hand resting on her healed solar plexus. "It's a good room," she said, flicking an ear. "I slept rather comfortably in it... and the decorations are quite nice."
-
"That's good to hear, and I'm glad you do." He said, there was a moment of silence before he got up, holding the towel around his wait still. "Alright I think I'll take a shower now, was just checking up on you."
-
"That's good to hear, and I'm glad you do." He said, there was a moment of silence before he got up, holding the towel around his wait still. "Alright I think I'll take a shower now, was just checking up on you."
Zanthe sat up and nodded, scratching the back of her head. "Alright," she said. "...Would you say I still need bandages, though?" The catfox glanced at the wound slightly under and to the right of her belly button.
-
"...Maybe as a precaution? You know just in case." He said before leaving the room. He went in his own, taking a quick shower.
-
"...Maybe as a precaution? You know just in case." He said before leaving the room. He went in his own, taking a quick shower.
The catfox watched Devin leave, then quickly bandaged herself up and tugged a random shirt on before heading downstairs.
-
Once he was done with his shower he dried off, then got dressed. Devin then started to head downstairs his fur a little wet still.
Zaida was downstairs eating some breakfast she had made, swhile watching some horror movie on the T.V. Hearing someone was coming downstairs. "there's some breakfast on the counter.." She mumbled. There was a plate with a small bowl of cinnamon apple grain, as well as two berries, basil, and cream cheese toasts, Then eggs and bacon.

Zanthe looked at the assortment of breakfast, then over at Zaida. "You certainly made a lot," she said.
-
"Mhm" She nodded, keeping her mouth shut since she was chewing her food.
Devin made it downstairs his nose sniffing around. "Oh nice! I'm hungry."
-
"Mhm" She nodded, keeping her mouth shut since she was chewing her food.
Devin made it downstairs his nose sniffing around. "Oh nice! I'm hungry."
Zanthe gently got a little bit of everything and looked around to figure out where to sit, being unfamiliar with the house.
-
Devin grabbed his plate. "Come on sit on the couch." He gestured before sitting down.
Zaida sat crisscrossed on the carpet of the living room instead.
-
Devin grabbed his plate. "Come on sit on the couch." He gestured before sitting down.
Zaida sat crisscrossed on the carpet of the living room instead.
Flushing ever so slightly, the assassin crossed the room and took a seat on the couch beside the spy. "So... is this what you two do every morning?" Zanthe asked, saying a quick prayer before gently digging into her oatmeal.
-
Zaida nodded her head.
He glanced over at zanthe with a light smile "Yea, sometimes." Devin said before eating some bacon.
-
Zanthe chewed thoughtfully, swallowing and rather enjoying her time there... though she did not show it externally. "...How's Vivi?" she asked.
-
"Oh she's still sleeping... Usually does on my bed or my drawer." He said. "She'll come down in a bit to meow at me for food I'm sure."
-
Zanthe nodded gently, smiling a bit at the thought of the small kitten. "That must be quite the adorable expierience," she said, eating a little more.
-
"Yea it really is, she's so cute." He said with a light chuckle.
-
Zanthe sighed in a laughing sort of way, still smiling a bit as she took another bite. "So... We should make some sort of plan on what to do," she said, looking into her bowl thoughtfully.
-
"Yea, that's what I was thinking not sure what yet." He said eating the last of his breakfast and patting a napkin against his mouth.
-
"Yea, that's what I was thinking not sure what yet." He said eating the last of his breakfast and patting a napkin against his mouth.
Zanthe finished hers and licked her lips delicately clean as only cats can do. "Well... I know I should probably acquire some more supplies myself," she said. "Clothing and... other things to obscure my identity." Zanthe rubbed behind her ear; the dye was starting to fade a bit.
-
"Shit..." He mumbled. "Forgot I had to deal with the mafia today..." Devin huffed. "Anyways I could provide you with the supplies you need."
-
"Shit..." He mumbled. "Forgot I had to deal with the mafia today..." Devin huffed. "Anyways I could provide you with the supplies you need."
Zanthe cocked an eyebrow. "I see... That would be useful, thanks," she murmured. "...You're dealing with the mafia today? How so?"
-
"I have to collect more info since I plan to this month shut them down for good... Then I could finally have a break, maybe go on vacation." He stretched.
-
Zanthe nodded once. "Would you like an extra hand?" she asked.
-
"It would be nice, yea." Devin nodded with a smile. "Help is always nice."
-
"It would be nice, yea." Devin nodded with a smile. "Help is always nice."
Zanthe nodded back, slowly flashing Devin a grin as well. "...I suppose I'll need a disguise," she said. "Something practical, but not... you know. Leather." She shrugged. "Leather is tacky."
-
"No tacky, gotcha." He winked. "We could go shopping now if you need to, Zaida mind if you prepare."
"Already on it." She grabbed the plates putting them in he kitchen. She started off to get ready.
-
Zanthe stretched calmly, looking over at Devin with one eye while the other one was closed. "Did you have files on me?" she asked.
-
(Changed my sona completely. No longer looks the same.)
"Maybe however I may have lost them in the incident. I don't remember..." He huffed. "I would have to look, why?"
-
(Changed my sona completely. No longer looks the same.)
"Maybe however I may have lost them in the incident. I don't remember..." He huffed. "I would have to look, why?"
"If they had files of some of my disguises, it would help to know which so I can try to fool them," she replied, standing and carrying her dishes to the sink. "If they do know them and they recognized me, I might blow your cover."
-
"Hmm maybe, I have it on the computer...." He got up, and sat down on the desk. The keys could be heard tapping, filed after files popped up. "Here." He leaned back in the chair and turned back to look at Zanthe.
-
Zanthe stood and padded over to the computer, pulling her chair over so that she could sit beside Devin. The catfox began to look through the files slowly. "...They have a lot of pictures or me," she murmured, rubbing behind her left ear. "Not my real self, but... a lot of pictures, nonetheless." Zanthe sighed. "...Did they ever check for me around the building?" she asked. "Checked physical details on girls starting work there?"
-
"Yea the organization tries to get as much info as they can that the mafia sets me to take down, however the mafia wasn't familiar with your appearance only heard an assassin was around. The organization I work for did all the work, until I found out your were good." Devin glanced at her, thinking for a moment looking through her files. "..I believe they do, let me see..." He scrolled a bit through the picture files. "these?" He asked once he was on the file about the

Zanthe looked through the pictures. "Huh... Yeah, those," she said, looking through them. Ideas were starting to form in her head. "Devin... does the mafia have people bring food or things up to them?" (What was she supposed to see in those pictures?"
-
(Just pictures of the few 'jobs' she use to do to hide her identity, and a few more disguises for public.)
"Yes, there's suppose to be a party, it'll be big. They have maids, chefs and such. So yea." He said. "That's all I can think of right now though..."

Zanthe sat back in the chair, biting her lip. I don't really want to do that, but... I might as well look at all my options. "... Devin?" she murmured, gently feeling her abdomen. It was mostly healed by this point. "... Do they hire girls?"
-
"Of course... Although both servants and maids aren't treated right at the parties." He said. "It's filled with rich criminals who think they're superior than everyone..." He huffed.

Zanthe gently stroked her chin. "So they wouldn't really be caring about the girls or what they're doing," she murmured. "Am I right on that?" She looked over her shoulder, her usual nonchalant expression on her face.
-
"Yes, that's correct" Devin nodded lightly, looking away from the computer and back at her.
-
"Yes, that's correct." Devin nodded lightly, looking away from the computer and back at her.
The catfox gently stood up and stretched a bit. "...How do they dress them?" she asked.
-
"Well it's this somewhat themed formal event, the servants and maids would be wearing the cliché uniforms... Servants wearing a tux and gloves, the maids with those dresses." Devin said scratching his head. "Oh! Also domino masks... They'll be wearing those too." He shrugged.

Zanthe nodded slowly. "...Can we get something like that?" she asked, still in thought about something that was troubling her.
-
"Yea I can get a uniform." Noticing she seemed trouble. "Hey you know you don't have to do this if you don't want to..."
-
"Yea I can get a uniform." Noticing she seemed trouble. "Hey you know you don't have to do this if you don't want to..."
Zanthe shook her head. "If you're going to put the nail in the coffin, you'll need help," she said. "Besides... it's not dressing up as a servant that's worrying me."
-
He leaned back in the chair. "Then what is?" Devin asked, curious.
-
Zanthe looked up at Devin. ".... I'm going to have to dye myself calico," she murmured, rubbing the back of her head and looking to the side. "And... er.... I'll need your help with it." The catfox blushed slightly.
-
"Ohh I see." He said a little blush on his face as well. "Well you don't have to be nervous about that, I have no problem helping you out." Devin assured.
-
"Ohh I see." He said a little blush on his face as well. "Well you don't have to be nervous about that, I have no problem helping you out." Devin assured.
Zanthe nodded gently, then stood up and stretched, her cheeks still flushed. "Right," she murmured, rolling up her shirt and starting to take off her bandages.
-
Devin put the desktop to rest mode before he got up and stretch lightly. Glancing over at zanthe as she did so.

The catfox removed the bandages quickly and precisely, leaving her abdomen exposed. However, surprisingly enought, the wounds were all but gone, a few more faded scars among the many old battle wounds that hid under her belly fur. "...Looks like I won't have to worry about my injuries," she said, looking over at Devin while still holding her shirt up.
-
(Hey just wondering where everone is.)
-
(Zanthe is at Devin and Zaida's house, Cifero and Cassy are where you left them. Check your last posts on your profile.)

Moka had stayed behind as she felt safer there. She just drew in her book and waited for red.

Sierra handed them to Cifero and leaned over his shoulder to read them.
Ruby sighed
"I apologize if I was a bit of a brat earlier...the servants used to spoil me so I am used to being treated like a "princess" by them. Father may not have done the same but I was still used to it." She took a bite of the sandwiche.
The crat peered at the writing, just able to make it out through the bloodstains. "Hm... that's not good," he said. "According to these, Daisy, while on the way home, got stunned by a strange group of people who..." Cifero blinked. "... Who pinned her to the wall and tried to take her gem." He flipped to the next page. "What's more, they seemed to know something about her abilities, which is why they attacked her in the first place..." Turning to the last page, Cifero furrowed his brow. "She managed to get free, then lost them in the city before returning here, but whatever they had used to cut into her had left her mortally wounded... but she still has her gem." The crat looked down at the wound on his belly. "... Who do you think it could've been?"
Cassy nodded slowly. "I see," she replied, biting into her own sandwich and chewing thoughtfully as something occurred to her. "... Why belly dancing?"
Zanthe surpressed the urge to tense up as Devin touched her abdomen, but was unable to stop her cheeks from coloring ever so slightly. "Yes," she said, keeping her initial reply to-the-point. "Though the stab wound still has some way to go."
Sierra shrugs but looks very serious. "If they knew how to get in here...they will do so again."
"Belly dancing is just sort of a family tradition. A lot girls in my family knew how to do it and we believe it makes us dance like the fire we create." Ruby says before eating.
Cifero read over the note again. "Not sure if they came here, but... if they knew about Daisy, they might know about me," he murmured, looking at Sierra. ".... I'd best lay low for a while, huh?" Smiling gently, he kissed her on the cheek.
Zanthe, as a formality, gently flashed a small smile of her own, taking a seat beside Devin to watch the sunset. She was also, against her will, blushing a little. "... I like our interactions as well."
Cassy nodded gently, eating more of her own sandwich. "Well, um... you're quite good at it," she said, shrugging and flushing a little. "I've seen you do it at times in class, and your movements are really fluid..."
Sierra kisses back. "Yes there is a place I know where we can hide. We should start packing, let Cassy and Ruby know where we are going."
Ruby blushes. "Yes, I have practiced for years and I have a great teacher."
-
Cifero looked into Sierra's eyes, smiling. "...As you wish," he said, swishing his tail. "Let me just get some clothing on."
Cassy flushed a bit and nodded. "Apparently... Hey, er.... If you ever want to practice, well... We have been taking the same class." The crat stretched a little, arching her back and extending her wings. "I'd be willing to dance with you and all."
-
Ruby blushed even more.
"Err...sure, but only if your fine dancing in your undwear. Those outfits we wear in class are more than just for show you know." Ruby said and based on what the teacher would have taught Cassy it was pretty much true.
Sieraa nods and grabs cifero some clothes.

Cifero quickly gets the pants on and starts cleaning a bit. "...Let's pack, then tell them?" he asked Sierra.
Cassy's cheeks burned red as she looked over at Ruby. "...I'm fine with it if you are," she said, rubbing her arm. "I... I don't really own a full-length shirt anyhow, so that'll make things a touch easier."
-
"I am ok with it, and so long as it doesn't restrict movement it should be fine." Ruby said and looked towards the hallway.
"They seem busy...so why don't we get started?"
Sierra nodded and already started gathering her things.
-

Sierra nodded and already started gathering her things.
Cassy looked over towards the noisy halway and nodded. "Good idea... I guess we're moving houses to be safe," she said, cleaning up the meal and packing her own bag. "Come on, we should start packing everything essential."
Cifero quickly and carefully put Daisy's bloody notes in the proper receptical for carrying something bloody, then went to wash his hands quickly.
-
Ruby looked around but had come here with nothing.
"What should I help with?"
-
*Red sat on a bench before looking out into the coast-line once more*
-
(Krayav you want to continue our rp with moka.)
-
(If it is fine with you, then yes)
-
A little Lizard girl came over to the bench where Krayav was sitting, licking a ice cream cone. She sat down and stared at the sunset for a little bit.
"The sun is so pretty today, isn't it Mr.?"
-
"Yep"*He said, it was a surprisingly clear day for Acension standards*
-
The little girl smiled.
"Yeah...I bet that lady staying in your appartment is just as pretty." She said referring to Moka.
-
"Yeah, She is..."*he looked at the small girl*"Wait... How do you know her?"
-
"I know a lot of things. I know you met her at a salad bar, I know your the reason she has survive the first assault...and I know that the monsters are on their way to retrieve her right now.” The little turns to you and her eyes begin to glow. You feel her start to attack your mind as you look at her
-
*Red looked away, his nose started bleedng before he grunted*
"you little shit.."
-
"Your will is strong, but I am stronger." The girl leaped from
bench and lifted a car with her telekinesis, throwing it in your direction.
-
*Red looked at the car before running from its direction and jumping behind a large rock*
-
The girl drew a pair of sickles was going charge at Red...but she tripped over a tree root.
-
*He looked around, trying to find something to defend himself with*
-
Tabitha had dropped her sickles a which clanked onto the side walk and was trying to get herself unstuck with little luck. It appeared that while she was strong mentally, she was still just a little girl in physical strength.
-
*Red grabbed her pulling her out before kicking her sickles off the coastal cliff, he grabbed his scarf and tied it firmly around her wrists*
"YOU are coming with ME"
-
"No! You don't understand, if I fail master will..." Alice went quiet as there was a beaping coming from her chest. It was that noticeable before, but with the flashing red light under her dress it was clear she had a bomb strapped to her.
-
*He looked at her before looking around*
"I can't just throw her!"*His mind was being muddled... This thing looked like a child..*
-
She didn't just appear to be a child, she was a child.
"No no, Mr. Red Please!" The girl was crying and desperately trying to get her dress off to get at the bomb. The restraints prevented her however and the bomb looked like it had 15 seconds left.
"...I want my mommy."
-
*He started trying to unlock the restraints*
"shit shit shit shit
-
The girl quickly throws off her dress and disarms the bomb as quick as she could. By the looks of it there was a sizable amount of C4 that would habe obliterated you both.
The girl sits on the ground in her underwear crying and still scared out of her mind.
-
*He sat on the ground
-
The girl cried for a good while before calming down to a sniffle. "Thank you...thank you so much." The girl crawled over to red and gave him a hug, burryomg her face in his chest.
-
*He started carrying her to his apartment*
"Alright, We just need information and i'll get you clothes"
-
"...I will help...my name is Alice by the way." Alice says and when you get to the apartment you see dead experiments clogging the the stair well, luckily they're already dead.
-
*Red walked up the staircase before stopping at the door and looking back*
"Well, thats one way to get rid of the land lord."*He knocked out a small tune on the door*
-
Zaida was sitting on devin's couch watching the news, her leg shaking allowing her claws to tap the floor.
"Good... I'm glad." Devin smiled lightly. "Let's head to my bathroom, we can dye your fur up there."
-
Red looked at Zaida
"Huh..."*He said looking around the apartment room*
-
Moka was in the bathroom and came out after having cleaned off all the blood from the fight.
Post Merge: September 26, 2016, 02:41:03 AM
Alice remained silent.
-
"Oh, hey Moka"
-
Moka smiles but it disappears as she points to alice, who still had the disarmed bomb on her chest.
-
*Red undid the restraints before tossing the C4 charge aside*
-
Moka looked concerned about the bomb but went to get Alice some clothes.
-
*Red sat on the sofa*
-
Alice sat on reds lap and seemed depressed.
"Why did you save me? I tried to kill you."
-
"Well, you ARE a child"*he said turning the T.V on*"I couldn't bring myself to hurt you"
-
"...master apparently thinks otherwise." Alice says and rubbing some scars on her body. Moka comes back with one of red's shirts which acts as sort of as long dress on Alice.
-
*Red yawned before looking at Moka*
-
Moka put the she shirt on Alice and wrote something.
"Maybe we should go to bed. The kid can sleep with me."
Alice yawned as well and was nodding off into reds chest.
-
"Fine with me"*He gently picked her up before carrying her to mokas room
-
Alice clung onto red and Moka followed.
"...more will come...the Dr. doesn't give up so easily." Alice says rather blatantly.
-
"Let them come"He sd putting her down on a small yet soft pile of clean clothes*"I'll protect Moka either way"
-
Alice curls into a ball and falls asleep. Moka smiles and writes in her book.
"I don't know where you found her, but she sure is cute...and a little bit of downer. Mostly cute."
-
"You are cuter~"*He said before walking out the room and resting on his bed*
-
Ruby looked around but had come here with nothing.
"What should I help with?"
Cifero returned to packing the room.
Cassy tied her hair back slightly and walked briskly into the kitchen. "It would be great if you could help me get all the kitchen things together," she said, starting to pull out all the pots and pans.
-
Ruby followed and helped get stuff out of the cubards. When she reached for one particular pot she screamed.
"S-Spider!" She fell on her butt her tail feathers unfolded and looked up at a fairly good sized spider that had made a web in the cubard.
Moka smiled and went to sleep herself. (Time skip.)
-
*Red sat up in his bed*
-
(Sorry but I have fallen behind in some work, so I am not going to be online for a few days. T_T)
-
Ruby followed and helped get stuff out of the cubards. When she reached for one particular pot she screamed.
"S-Spider!" She fell on her butt her tail feathers unfolded and looked up at a fairly good sized spider that had made a web in the cubard.
Moka smiled and went to sleep herself. (Time skip.)
Cassy looked over her shoulder in surprise, then carefully walked over and offered Ruby a hand up. "Not fond of spiders?" she asked, smiling kindly.
Cifero ran in, fully dressed now. "What's going o...." As the crat sees the spider, he stops short and stands far back from that area.
Zanthe pulled her shirt down. "So...Should we get the clothing first, or should we do... the other thing," she murmured, still flushed in the cheeks despite her neutral expression.
-
After a while of doing nothing, Ray found himself quite unburdened by his past. He wandered the streets, idly looking for any odd-job that made itself apparent. Ray purchased his own apartment, and was in a pretty decent way.
-
"Let's get the messy part out of the way, dying." He suggested. "The clothes will be dropped off soon." He said checking his phone.
-
Zanthe nodded gently, still flushed. "Alright... We'll need some black, orange, and brown dyes...."
-
He nodded lightly rubbing his neck. "...I have some in the bathroom." He gestured, starting to head upstairs.
-
He nodded lightly rubbing his neck. "...I have some in the bathroom." He gestured, starting to head upstairs.
Zanthe padded along after Devin, purring softly.
-
In the bathroom, he dug in the cupboard before pulling out a few dye boxes that had been lying in there. "... Are you going to keep on your undergarments or...?" He asked before adding. "Either one doesn't matter, I already cleaned you off before.. You know, when you were injured. Just whatever makes you comfortable, ok?" He said softly a bit flustered himself.
-
Zanthe, not wasting a moment, stripped to her underwear, a neutral expression on her face. "... It will stain if I leave my undergarments on," she murmured, rubbing her arm. "I suppose... er.... Well, it's a careful thing you have to do." Without clothes on, she did not seem as imposing, but she was clearly still in near perfect shape, if in need of some slight exercise.
-
He kept a neutral expression. "Alright... Well, step in the bathtub so we don't stain anything." He said sliding the glass door open for her and helping her in as he mumbled "Don't slip". Before he went back to the bathroom counter, starting to mix the the powder and liquid to get the dye colors for the calico pelt.
-
Zanthe quickly removed her undergarments as well and stood in the bathtub, maintaining a similar neutral expression. "I won't need dye anywhere awkward," she murmured. "I just need to get a patchy look."
-
"Ok good besides you'll be wearing clothes anyways, and I'm also looking at a few pictures as reference as well." He told her as he finished preparing the dye. Devin walked into the bathroom sitting on the toilet, setting down the three small bowls of dye down. "Ok, where should I start applying it?" Devin asked her holding the his gloved hand under the brush comb.
-
Zanthe started to answer, then suddenly flushed darkly as she realized her back was to Devin. "....My back," she replied, knowing that he could see her tattoo.

(Accepted, Stowe-away)
-
Devin was gently as he placed his gloved paw against her back. The hybrid moved her fur around, applying dye in a patchy pattern to her fur carefully.
-
Zanthe remained perfectly still, not even purring- though she was tempted to. "...The tattoos should be obscured fully," she murmured.

-
"Oh alright. Don't worry about it, I got it." He assured as he continued to apply the dye to her fur. There was a bit of silence before he spoke. "The event starts tonight... And If anything happens, please tell me." Devin told her.
Zaida left the house, ready for the party Boss was hosting. Planning to arrive early to see if she can get some info so Devin and zanthe could get some kind of advantage.
-
Zanthe gently looked over her shouder. "What do you mean by that?" she murmured softly. "Also.... how do things look back there?"
-
Devin gave a shrug. "Just... What I meant was.. Be careful." He huffed while her worked. "It's looking pretty convincing so far."
-
Bailey entered the party . Two guards stood behind him. Grey jumpsuits, black bullet proof vests and black balaclavas covered them. Bailey was in his normal attire, his mask was still on of course.
"Right, you two stay in the **censor**' back room. Anything happens you come up and do your bloody jobs. Got it?" He spoke to the two. They both nodded their heads and marched towards the back out of site.
"Stupid mob family. Making me come to this stupid party. Bloody hell..." He mumbled under his breath.
-
Quite a bit anthros had already arrived, some musicians setting up on stage, it would surely be packed later. Boss was no where in site... possibly setting things up or getting ready himself.
Zaida entered the building as she showed her V.I.P invitation. Wearing a short royal purple dress, black leather jacket, and aviator glasses.
-
Bailey sat in a chair staring at some of the people. His attire was very different from the rest. Instead of lavish tuxedos he wore his normal trench coat balaclava combo. His men sat in the very back were no one could see them.
-
Zanthe nodded. "Right... Er... I... I suppose we should do the front now," she said. ".... But let's keep this professional."
-
Zaida grabbed herself a glass of water while studying the anthros, her eyes definitely caught the avian in a trench coat. She kept a low profile, she didn't plan on approaching anyone or talking to them yet. However to do what she did best first, listen and study. Like an outcast sat away from the rest sipping her water.
Devin gave an awkward nod, flustered a bit. "Oh, yea... Of course." He said as he finished putting dye on the fur on her back side of her body. "Well. Definitely looks like a calico..." He said a bit proud despite being embarrassed in the whole situation.
-
Bailey lifted his arm up and began to stare at his watch. His eyes fixed on it out of sheer boredom. He looked up and scanned the room again.
One of his guards came up to him, "Ay' boss. Can I go to teh pisser?" Bailey looked him in the eyes and responded , "Better make it quick. Henry ain't gonna' want to sit in that seat for very long by himself." He nodded and ran off.
Bailey then began to stare at his watch again. After a few short minutes three more men in the same uniforms walked in. One had what looked like bagpipes with him.
"Oi! Did I say you could bring the bloody pipes?" The cat with the bagpipes smiled he responded back with a thick Scottish accent, "Aye, yeh didn't. But I brought em' anyway you bloke." They went to the back and sat down.
-
Zanthe nodded and turned around, her face a bit flushed. "Now... I think perhaps if the patching is continued around the edges, and then a few spots are placed here and there on my stomach and chest, that should do it," she said, lowering her hands with some effort. "...Just in case, use some darker dyes around any significant scars, in case they had a good shot of them." She glanced down at herself. "....I guess use something like that around my umbilicus as well. Just to be sure. There's a couple scars around there too." The catfox, uncharacteristically, gave Devin a small smile. "Would you believe that someone tried to kill me using a bladed pendulum once?"
-
There were strangers who followed Zaida, three to be exact, to the party. Each wore a stark-white tuxedo, but the one in the middle wore a large, plain porcelain mask. They had somehow made it past the door guards, without killing anyone. The thing in the porcelain mask mingled with the crowd, but didn't speak to anyone.
-
(.... Oh, CRAP. o-o It's them.)
-
"Alright I'll be sure to." He listened while dying her fur. As he worked on her fur, he raised a brow. "Hm.. Really? A pendulum. Where the hell do you get that." Devin said with disbelief that an anthro would use that in attempt to kill.
Zaida watched the men cautiously. Especially the one with a mask. "Hmp... Odd." She murmured taking notes in her head. The monster looked around, making sure she had escape routes, and what she could use in combat. Continuing to sip her water from time to time, shaking her right leg.
-
Zanthe shrugged. "The individual had a flair for the dramatic," she said. "I got free, but I was cut across the stomach." She looked at Devin. "There should be a scar nearly bisecting my navel, if you look for it." She remained still as the dye was applied to her fur.
(And now, I will be back on Saturday.)
-
Zanthe's phone starts to vibrate as someone was trying to call her. The name on the screen said "Kammy".
(Also a new character.)
Name: Lucas Boogey[/size]Age: 23Height: 6'1Weight: 168Species: Half Fairy Black Cat (descended from the Boogeymen, evil fey that have power over fear and eat children. Lucas however manages to resist the urge to eat children.)Clothing: brown patched up coat, dirty white T-shirt, mildly torn jeans, and beat up brown boots.Personality: And first Lucas appears to be quite a scary guy as unfortunately he has difficulty disguising his dark fey ancestry. He does sometimes let's his more evil emotions take over as it sometimes necessary to survive. However once you get past his scary exterior, people will realize Lucas is actually quite nice and wishes people wouldn't run away screaming when they see him in an alleyway. He always feels depressed when he has to mug people for money and genuinely tries to do the thing. However in his life that is rarely a virtue, but there is alwaya one thing that keeps him going each day. That thing is the love for one particular woman and their child.Other(put stuff that can enhance the character or stuff): (will do this soon.)

*Red was walking the street, It was night by now and almost no-one was walking around where he was*
-
(Oh yeah sorry Krayav, I was going to respond to your last message but I was working.)
Moka and Alice were at the apparement, not doing really much although they were keeping a watchful eye out for mor experiments.
-
*It was a fairly quiet night only chirps and distant horns could be heard**
"Sometimes..You have to take a break to reflect on everything you have done recently"*He thought as he turned his head towards the sidewalk behind him*"Not like you can change the past"*He looked forward and leaned against the wall of a closed barber shop*
-
As red leaned against the wall he could see a somewhat odd bunch of furs on the other side of the road. One was a well dressed female kitsune with two tails who seemed to be on the phone, a black male cat with oddly long arms and legs who appeared homeless and a fairly ugly looking white cat who also looked homeless but also very pregnant.
-
Bailey saw the men enter the party. He quickly got up and scurried over to his men, "Oi, lads. We got some people with masks coming in. Make sure you watch them hawks, got it?"
They all nodded and began to scan the room for these men. The feline with the pipes began playing them just for practice. He wasn't loud with it, for he was just testing them out.
-
((So... is my character approved..? :| ))
-
(Yea there's never been a approval thing. Anyone can join whenever they please.)
-
(Sweet.)
Al walked into the party, wearing a fine tuxedo set. A blue jacket, white t-shirt and white pants. He wore a black bow tie as well. Having been hired to kill one of the attendees, he began surveying the area for a good vantage point. He had managed to trick the guards into thinking he was a musician, but in reality, the box contained a sniper rifle.
-
One after another more anthros showed up. A few tired making small talk but the monster wasn't interested. "It'll be packed, that's for sure..." She murmured with a hint of annoyance.
'Boss' finally arrived in a white tux, and purple bow tie. A grizzly and polar bear mix... Standing up to six feet four, with a large bear build. Cold grey eyes, A golden tooth to the far right of his mouth, and on both paws his pointer and middle claws replaced with silver replica's. A sinister smile grew on his face causing the fur on anthros backs to stand. "Ah it's nice to see everyone" he said pleased to see guests already arriving.
A few anthros raised their glasses, or gave a nod to the bear, and some approached to shake his paw as well.
Two hyena's, twins, followed behind in sync. They held their paws behind their backs and remained silent however smiles spread across their faces. The bear's henchman, Sam and Eric..
-
Bailey was drinking from his glass. He saw Boss enter the party.
"Christ he's big." Bailey mumbled to himself
-
As boss walked around greeting or making small talk with his guests he eventually approached the bearded vulture. "You must be the new man who provides us with the right firearms if I'm correct.. Besides we don't have another vulture. It's nice to see you in person, thank you for coming." He said respectfully, extending his arm to shake.
-
The vulture removed his balaclava and smiled, his white feathers were clean and his smile gave a warm vibe to it.
"Pleasure to meet you in person. Jolly good old party you have here chap." He spoke with a calm tone
-
Al had spied around enough to find a hidden vantage point overlooking the ground floor. Before he opened up the case, he took out a photo of the target. "A bear... 'Boss'? Shit... This is going to be much harder than I thought it would be." Al pulled out a high calibre bullet, designed to pierce through armour plating. "Best not to take chances. If what I've heard about this guy is true... I'm going to have to be quick and quiet." Al put on his gloves before beginning to unpack and assemble the rifle.
-
"Huh...Interesting"*He said, scratching his head*
-
They don't seem to be doing anything wrong but as you stand there you see a group of men walk out of the barber shop and look like they all had there fur done. One points over at the pregnant woman.
"Hey...doesn't that woman match thhe picture?" He says and one of the others pulls up something on his phone.
"...yep no doubt about it. She' certainly got a hit on her...a bit heavier in the belly but whatever. Let's collect." As soon as he finished that sentence they all pulled out guns and looked ready to shoot right away, really not seeming to care that the cat was pregnant or that there were others in the crossfire.
-
*Red could be seen walking towards them before he taps one of the gunners shoulder*
-
"Huh? Who the hell are you, this isn't any of your business." He says.
-
"Well, I won't let someone get shot infront of my eyes... It's common sense."*He shrugged*"Besides, It's a pregnant woman and two bystanders that are at stake"*He put his hands in his pockets*"You would be killing 3 people and an unborn child"
-
The men chuckled. "...and you think we care? We have killed plenty of people and the boss has the police so deep in his pockets that they won't do jack. Now move along...unless you feel like a dead man." He points his gun at you.
"...no I think you are a dead man." In the he blink of an eye the kitsune was already across the street and had a bastard sword at neck level with the gun man.
-
*He looked at the gun*
"Okay, shoot me then."*He said looking at the criminal

"Uh..." The gunman would have shot without hesitation...if he didn't have sword held at his throat.
"Yeah go ahead...see what happens." The kitsune says and out of sheer panic he pulls the trigger...but the bullet jammed inside the chamber. The pregnant lady chuckled as she gingerly made her way across the street, with her obvious mate following.
"You should really keep up maintaince on your guns...or not point it at the infamous Luck Eater, Clover or her friends."
-
"Who?"*Red said looking at the kitsune*
-
Clover, the pregnant lady get angry.
"What you don't know i who I am?! I am probably the most infamous thief in this blasted city!" She says but she breaths heavily as she just over exerted herself.
"Babe...you really need to stop yelling like that, especially when there could be cops around." The black cat says
The kitsune just rubs rubs her temple.
"Ugh...this is why I need Zanthe cause of this right here. Now as for you mister trigger happy. 1...2..." Before the kitsune could count to 3 the group of men scattered dropping there guns...all of which had jammed.
-
"Nope, not a single word of you has been spoken in recent time"*He said looking at the cats*
-
Clover turns her head.
"...its because I sort of have been out of the job...for reasons." She rubs her belly gently.
"Yes I encouraged her to quit, prison is no good for a pregnant lady." The black cat says and kisses her forhead. Now that you have gotten a closer look at them, these two were obviously not normal cats. Clover had a hunch back, matted light gray fur, big black shiny eyes and knarled teeth with insect wings on her back. The black cat seemed painfully skinny with crooked, toothy smile that didn't seem to go away, similarly black eyes and unnaturally extended limbs.
"Shut up, Lucas." Clover said to her mate.
The kitsune went to you and rubbed her temples a little more.
"Hi my name is Kammy...thanks for distracting those men, but even if they did shoot they would have needed magic or silver bullets to hurt any of us."
-
The masked man took a seat at an empty table, and his head drooped. The other two men seemed to orbit the party.
-
"Very interesting"*He said looking at the kitsune*
-
"Yeah it's complicated, anyway we should really get going. Maybe Zanthe will pick up this time." Kammy pulls out her phone again and all three of them start to leave.
-
*Red started walking away too*

(Just a heads up, I am posting a lot of character sheets very soon. This is just for all the characters I have in the rp that don't have one yet...because I have been lazy about it. I counted at least 6 characters of mine that lack a character sheet and there may be one extra that I might throw in as my final character for this rp. This does include some of my villains by the way.
Post Merge: October 01, 2016, 09:59:17 PM
Name: Vladimir Greyward
Age: 37
Height: 6'2
Weight: 214
Species: Thri-kreen
Clothing: Wears an old fashioned looking Royal guard uniform while working, while not working he wears a white shirt and brown denim jacket with the Royal guard insignia on the back.
[/size]Personality: Vlad tends to be serious and more than a little uptight, mostly because he needs to keep an intimidating presence as Rose's body guard. Even so he is workaholic and will defend Rose no matter the cost, even if it means his own death. If you earn his trust and friendship, Vlad will extend the same devotion and self sacrifice to you. Most importantly, failure is never an option with Vlad.
[/size]Other(put stuff that can enhance the character or stuff): Vlad is Magi-Knight and fights with a combination of magic and martial prowesse. He wields twin scimitars in his main hands and uses his second set of arms to cast spells.
[/size]Name: Lysander D. ZoravichAge: 47Height: 5'11Weight: 152Species: PeacockClothing: Very expensive black suites and red ties.Personality: A cold hearted evil man who has no sense of mercy in the business world or with people in general. Lysander is obsessed with perfection, always wanting things to have the best possible out come. He enforces this even on his two sons and his daughter, Ruby. Lysander has molded his sons into a near perfect image of himself with a few minor differences, but Ruby was much harder to mold. Lysander had frequently abused Ruby, sometimes excessively so. While he tells himself its because he wants her to fit the mold, there are other reasons why he beats her.Other(put stuff that can enhance the character or stuff): Lysander has only ever shown one person any kindness, his late wife Rebecca. Lysander could never describe it quite but there was always something about her presence that calmed his frequently heated nerves. Rebecca was for all intensive purposes Lysander's guardian angel and a truly perfect women in his eyes. However one day she fell sick and despite all the money and resources he pulled to keep her alive, she passed and on Ruby's birthday no less. Since that day Lysander took all his anger out on anyone who dared rubbed him the wrong way, especially Ruby. The reason Lysander abuses Ruby is not because she is a screw up or a mistake, its because she is too perfect in his eyes. Ruby is the spitting image of her mother and everytime Lysander lays eyes on her he is reminded of what he lost and it fills him with rage. At the same time though, Lysander frequently puts Ruby in a lot of situations that he experienced with Rebecca. The wedding for example, was both a business deal and a chance for Lysander to relive his wedding with his wife, at least in his mind. Whenever Ruby doesn't fit the mold of what Lysander was imagining that's when he is particularly angry.
Lysander is a man obsessed with perfection...but in reality, he is more obsessed with the past.
(More sheets to come later.)

Zanthe shrugged. "The individual had a flair for the dramatic," she said. "I got free, but I was cut across the stomach." She looked at Devin. "There should be a scar nearly bisecting my navel, if you look for it." She remained still as the dye was applied to her fur.
(And now, I will be back on Saturday.)
(Zaida, did you respond to thi... nevermind, actually, no one responded to previous scenes, so I'm just gonna pretend you did.)
Zanthe glanced over at her clothes as her phone rang. "....Shoot," she murmured, looking at Devin. "I need to get that. It might be one of the people from before..."
Cassy gently got the spider out of the cabinet and let it outside. "There... See? No big deal."
-
(Ah damn sorry I totally forgot due to school that day)
Devin looked over as the phone buzzed. "Hear let me get it for you." He took one glove off, he picked it up and handed it to the catofox before taking off his other glove. "Let it sit in for a bit then you can rinse off... the outfit should be hear now." Devin said walking out of the room.
-
Putting the gloves on inside-out so that her hands would be clean, Zanthe grabbed the phone and flicked it open. "Hello?" she said, all seriousness once again.
-
After assembling the rifle, Al took a deep breath out and began aiming down the sights. "Where are you..." He thought the bear would be easy to spot through the myriad of other furs, but he really wasn't.
-
Bailey let go of the bears hand and responded, "Who else are we expecting to come down?"
-
"I'm not sure. I didn't send the invitations myself." He said crossing his arms. "However it should be busy, the servants and maids will arrive soon." Boss said looking at his watch.
SamnEric stared at the vulture, holding their smiles, evil in their eyes.
A lengthy ferret moved through the growing crowd swiftly. "Ugh Boss, where is he?..." he whimpered aggravated, holding a phone in his paw.
-
The feline with the bagpipes made his way towards the Boss and Bailey, he smiled at the Boss, "Ay, you must be theguy were sellin' teh weapons to." His kilt was black with red strips. And his fur was yellow.
"Mind if I play a song for ye?" The feline said with a large smile. Bailey put his hand on the cats chest and smiled, "O'Neil that won't be ne-" His sentence was cut short from the sounds of the cat playing 'Cock O' the North' Bailey slowly lowered his hand and smiled towards the bear, "Ignore him..."
-
Putting the gloves on inside-out so that her hands would be clean, Zanthe grabbed the phone and flicked it open. "Hello?" she said, all seriousness once again.
"Hey Zanthe...its Kammy. Ugh...my head." She says and in the background Zanthe hears Clover and someone she has never met in a bit of a squabble.
"Clover can you please..." The clearly male voice says.
"Oh shut up! Your the reason I'm like this! I was all happy and then you came along and now i'm...i'm..." Zanthe hears Clover crying. Kammy takes the phone aside.
"Please, help. We are not to far away, just go to the back alley of the building I see that your in."
-
*Red stood outside the party house, looking as the lights shone brightly against the pitch black sky*
"I used to be part of his little chain gang"*He sighed leaning on the wall*
-
Boss seemed relaxed about it. "Oh It's fine. I'm a man of music..." He said proudly with a paw against his chest. "I use to play many instruments as a cub, I was fairly good at it. I just love classical. However I hate today's genre, disgusting that it's considered music." The bear huffed. "Although..." the bear leaned down to the cats level, pulling the mouthpiece away. A silver claw on his chin lifted the felines head. "It's disrespectful to interrupt, don't do it again." He bared his teeth. "Is that clear?"
-
Ruby followed and helped get stuff out of the cubards. When she reached for one particular pot she screamed.
"S-Spider!" She fell on her butt her tail feathers unfolded and looked up at a fairly good sized spider that had made a web in the cubard.
Moka smiled and went to sleep herself. (Time skip.)
Cassy looked over her shoulder in surprise, then carefully walked over and offered Ruby a hand up. "Not fond of spiders?" she asked, smiling kindly.
Cifero ran in, fully dressed now. "What's going o...." As the crat sees the spider, he stops short and stands far back from that area.
Zanthe pulled her shirt down. "So...Should we get the clothing first, or should we do... the other thing," she murmured, still flushed in the cheeks despite her neutral expression.
Ruby takes Cassy's hand and when she stands up, hides behind Cassy as a furry shield.
"Not just spiders, just bugs in general. Never tell Rose this...but at first I almost wet myself when I saw her." Ruby seemed quite embarrassed that she used to be quite scared of Rose...which also is quite ironic considering how scared Rose was of Ruby.
Sierra walks in to see what was going on and face palms.
"It. Is just. A spider." She says and goes to the cabinet, picks up the spider gently in her palm and throws it out a nearby window onto the scaffolding.
-
*Red was walking back to his apartment, after some time he arrived and knocked on his door*
-
O'Neil smiled his eyes had a sense of nervousness in thrm, "Ay I got it." He slowly backed up and ran back towards the rest of The Manchesters in the back.
Bailey sighed, "Sorry bout' that. O'Neil is a good man. He's just a little stupid." He turned his head and looked at his small group of men sitting around a table laughing and talking. They all wore the same gear. Grey jumpsuit, black bullet proof vest, black balaclavas. O'Neil wore the same but the leg piece was replaced with a kilt.
-
He stood back up, like sharpening knifes he hit and slid his silver claws together for a moment. "I've noticed, there's always one runt in the litter..." Boss stated, giving a glance over to the men.
-
*Red was walking back to his apartment, after some time he arrived and knocked on his door*
Moka answers and she writes in her book.
"Give me a second, Alice is...not really presentable. I am drawing her some clothes with my magic ink."
-
Al eventually locked his sights onto Boss. "Gotcha." With a deep exhalation, his left eye turned from blue to black, and the world began to slow down through his eyes. Just... one... shot... He lined it up with Boss' head and then pulled the trigger... only to realise he forgot to load any ammo. Idiot! Al's eye turned back to blue as he looked around for where he placed the bullet.
-
Bailey snarled, "Oi. You don't get to make fun of me men." He smiled, "Only I do." He laughed and picked up a glass of water, "Cheers mate." He drank from it and sighed, "Wish we had more then water..."
He put the glass down and sat down again, "My boys are good soldiers. All of them are ex-military. Most are ol' British soldier's. The best of the best are old Queen's guards." He smiled, "We got some former Spetnaz and Marines as well."
-
*Red stood silently*
-
Moka eventually opened the door again and let Red in. Alice was standing in the centee of the room blushing as she had some brand new Sky blue bloomers and training bra on. In front of Alice there was an outline for a very pretty looking dress that was being supported by a painting stand.
-
*He looked at Alice before looking at the unfinished dress*
-
Alice turned her head tried to stand still while Moka quickly finished the dress, painting it sky blue. When the drawing was finished moka reached into the canvas and pulled out the entire picture. The dress was very real and Moka helped Alice into it.
"Thanks..." Alice said still very somber.
"...I suppose I should tell you guys about master now."
-
*A crow suddenly smacked it's beak against the window Red looked at the crow before starting to walk towards the Window and ward it off, he looked out the window before saying*
"Uh... Guy's we might have some company"
-
Moka and Alice get up and go see what Red is looking at.
-
The Manchesters in the back began to scan the area. Something was up and they knew it. They all got up expect for O'Neil. One of them walked up towards Bailey, he was a large brown bear, "Oi sir. Somethings up. Me and the lads are gonna go check it out." Bailey looked around the area scanning the roofing.
"Right then. Report back if you find anything. And don't be scaring anyone... Are customer wouldn't be happy if we did that." They all nodded and stormed off.
-
*Standing at the sidewalk across from the house was A man in a plague doctor uniform, a very large amount of crows seemed to be in his vicinity*
-
(I'm going to fire the shot, but let's wait for Zaida. We talked about it PMs, so I'm waiting on what she wants to do.)
Al inserted the bullet and then got the rifle back into position. Again, his left eye turned black and again he got the Boss' head in his sights. "One shot... One kill..." Knowing full well he didn't take time to plan his escape, Al pressed down on the trigger and fired the bullet.
-
( I know. I'll wait to tale further actions until she's back.)
-
(Is that a widow maker reference I see?)
The ferret approached Boss. "Sir, someone is on the phone. They wanted to kn-" a clean shot to his head, the now dead ferret fell to the floor.
Some blood got on the bear's suit, from the angle.. it had to come from above. He looked up with a snarl.
Both hyena's looked up as well yelling in Sync "INTRUDERS!!!" As they pulled out their weapons.
Some guards running to the scene.
-
The Manchesters pulled out they're weapons and ran towards the shot.
"Oi! You find that son of a bitch and kill 'em!" Bailey screamed. The Manchesters would not lose their number 1 buyer today.
The Manchesters readied they're weapons. Bayonets on the end of them. They changed up the stairs ready to kill.
-
*Standing at the sidewalk across from the house was A man in a plague doctor uniform, a very large amount of crows seemed to be in his vicinity*
Moka staired at the man, knowing this was both creepy and potentially very dangerous.
Alice backed from the window more then a little scared.
-
*The crows all suddenly flew away, covering the man abit before he was missing from his former spot, the door to the apartment opened before syringed flew in various directions
-
Al clenched his teeth. Well... I got a kill... Just not the right one. Al looked around considering his escape routes. Killing the lot of the assholes coming to get me would be the most fun route. But, I can't afford to spend more time here. Al put his mask on, and took the silencer off the sniper rifle. He looked to the nearest window and smashed it with the weapon. Afterwards, he placed the gun back down and left his calling card - an image of his signature knives - before stepping outside and scaling the building.
-
Putting the gloves on inside-out so that her hands would be clean, Zanthe grabbed the phone and flicked it open. "Hello?" she said, all seriousness once again.
"Hey Zanthe...its Kammy. Ugh...my head." She says and in the background Zanthe hears Clover and someone she has never met in a bit of a squabble.
"Clover can you please..." The clearly male voice says.
"Oh shut up! Your the reason I'm like this! I was all happy and then you came along and now i'm...i'm..." Zanthe hears Clover crying. Kammy takes the phone aside.
"Please, help. We are not to far away, just go to the back alley of the building I see that your in."
Zanthe nodded slowly. "... You can see where I am?" she murmured. "Er... How soon do you need me there? I just finished a dye job so I'll have to rinse off and get dressed. If it's immediate, Devin's with me and I could send him."
(Did you respond to Cassy?)
-
The group of Manchester soldiers finally reached the end of the stairs, "Little tic is gonna pay." One of them screamed.
They kicked the door open and saw the calling card, "Quickly search the window!" The bear screamed. One of them checked the window and began to yell, "Come back and fight us you lill' twit!"
-
Al didn't focus on them. He looked up and gave them a salute before jumping off the building. He was close enough to the ground to be able to combat roll. Taking one last look at the building, he darted off down the street, pulling out his phone to make a call.
-
The soldiers quickly darted down the stairs and down into the street. "You ain't goin' anywhere you shit." The bear growled.
They ran after him.
As they did they lifted they're weapons and began to scream, they had they're bayonets facing forward ready to pierce his heart.
Bailey looked over at Boss, "You okay? Don't worry my men have this under control."
-
Al looked back, noticing he was being chased. Cars not to far now. Damn it, I should've checked the mark before I agreed to this. Al pulled out a small AP Pistol with an extended magazine. He began blindly firing at them, not caring as to whether or not he was hitting them. After the call failed to go through he sighed before pocketing it. Asshole probably was at the party just to make sure I landed it. I swear, after I'm done with this, I'm getting him next.
-
Out of the six. One of them was hit and killed, they didn't back down. One of them screamed, "FOR QUEEN AND COUNTRY." The Manchesters were clearly nuts.
-
The bear looked down at bailey with a snarl "I'm fine" he growled. "I need to change my suit."
The guards were now on their toes, carefully making sure there were no threats in the building.
Sam and Eric were busy calming the guests, telling them it was under control.
Zaida watched the whole scene. "The hell..." she mumbled under her breath.
-
Al emptied the gun and threw it on the ground. Spying his car, he took out the keys and opened the trunk. His heart was racing with excitement, and despite being aggravated at just how unlucky he was getting, he was enjoying the thrill of the mission. I should only need one Katana for this. Two might be a bit overkill. Having reached the car, he quickly pulled out one of the blades and readied himself for the quickly approaching group of five. I might be pushing it a little, but I won't be able to take on the entire group of psychos without the boost. His left eye turned black again, and he prepared to parry the first attack coming his way.
-
Bailey marched outside and looked down the road. He saw his men charging down the road, he saw one of them drop. O'Neil came up behind Bailey and sighed, "Looks like he got one of us..." Bailey rubbed his eyes.
"Yep... Who ever that man was.... We have to find 'em and kill 'em. The Manchesters will not let someone like that run around killing our customers." Bailey said. O'Neil nodded. He spoke again but with a smile, "Maybe I cancalm down everyone?" He made his way towards the middle of the ballroom and smiled. "Oi... My names O'Neil. Member of the Manchester.... I know we are all panicked but let's try to have a good time lads." He readied his bagpipes and began to play them. The song was Amazing Grace
One of the Manchesters, a short doberman extended his arms towards Al and screamed, "DIE YOU BLOODY BASTERD!"
-
"You first." Al easily saw the attack coming and dodged to the left, before whacking him on the back of the neck with the blunt side of his blade. 5 men, all armed with bladed weaponry. Best keep my eye out for any joint attacks.
-
They surrounded him and aimed their guns at them. If he got close he would be either stabbed or shot. The one hit in the neck was on the ground unconscious.
"Oi! You'll stop right there or I'll put a bloody bullet between 'yer eyes lad." The bear said
-
Al looked all around him and sighed. "You can't all put a bullet in between my eyes 'lads'." Four left. If they fire that's four bullets in a square formation. Easiest dodge would be a duck. Al approached the closest one to him, sword fully extended in his direction.
-
Putting the gloves on inside-out so that her hands would be clean, Zanthe grabbed the phone and flicked it open. "Hello?" she said, all seriousness once again.
(Yeah its a little ways back.)
"Hey Zanthe...its Kammy. Ugh...my head." She says and in the background Zanthe hears Clover and someone she has never met in a bit of a squabble.
"Clover can you please..." The clearly male voice says.
"Oh shut up! Your the reason I'm like this! I was all happy and then you came along and now i'm...i'm..." Zanthe hears Clover crying. Kammy takes the phone aside.
"Please, help. We are not to far away, just go to the back alley of the building I see that your in."
Zanthe nodded slowly. "... You can see where I am?" she murmured. "Er... How soon do you need me there? I just finished a dye job so I'll have to rinse off and get dressed. If it's immediate, Devin's with me and I could send him."
(Did you respond to Cassy?)
Moka acted quickly and began painting bricks on the front door as fast as she could.
"I can get us inside...but because of stupid vampire rules i need your invitation to get through the front door. Also the dye job looks great." Kammy said as she was looking through a magic crystal ball to see Zanthe and Devin. It was a nice little tool but it needed a piece of DNA from the person you want to spy on...and Kammy secretly took some of Zanthe fur, purely to mess with her later for fun.
-
The bear screamed, "THE 92nd WILL ADVANCE! PRESENT THE COLORS!" They all took a step forward, bayonets fixed towards Al. They're eyes were filled with nothing but pure evil.
Al looked all around him and sighed. "You can't all put a bullet in between my eyes 'lads'." Four left. If they fire that's four bullets in a square formation. Easiest dodge would be a duck. Al approached the closest one to him, sword fully extended in his direction.
-
Al managed to dodge all but one of the bayonets, the blade cleanly stabbing into his left side. The wolf (short for monfolfgle) let a sharp breath. "Alright. No more Mr. Nice Assassin." The burning pain in his side fuelled his anger as he moved to stab the bear right in the stomach (and if he succeeds), pulling his blade out afterwards
-
The bear was hit. He feel to the ground. He wasn't dead just badly injured. The rest stopped and roared in anger, the all rushed forward again bayonets extended
-
Being only three blades this time, Al was able to move out and away from the group. He clutched his bleeding side. Got to finish them quick... Al stood up straight and roared as he charged towards the closest guy, waiting on his move first.
-
The wolf that was closest to him rushed towards him and tried to go for his side.
-
Putting the gloves on inside-out so that her hands would be clean, Zanthe grabbed the phone and flicked it open. "Hello?" she said, all seriousness once again.
(Yeah its a little ways back.)
"Hey Zanthe...its Kammy. Ugh...my head." She says and in the background Zanthe hears Clover and someone she has never met in a bit of a squabble.
"Clover can you please..." The clearly male voice says.
"Oh shut up! Your the reason I'm like this! I was all happy and then you came along and now i'm...i'm..." Zanthe hears Clover crying. Kammy takes the phone aside.

"I can get us inside...but because of stupid vampire rules i need your invitation to get through the front door. Also the dye job looks great." Kammy said as she was looking through a magic crystal ball to see Zanthe and Devin. It was a nice little tool but it needed a piece of DNA from the person you want to spy on...and Kammy secretly took some of Zanthe fur, purely to mess with her later for fun.
(.... Uh... Cassy still... I think.... o-o This got busy fast.)
Zanthe blinked. "... Thank you," she said, putting the phone on speaker and setting it aside as she rinsed off and got dressed. "What's the issue? And who's that with you?"
Nearby, someone was stalking through the streets.
-
Al dodged to the side and sliced the wolf's arm clean off, before kicking him down. "Who's next!?" Al's left eye reverted back to blue, having been used for too long. Shit! Best be careful in this case.
-
*The crows rushed through the wall before the doctor appeared soon after*
-
The wolf feel back and just died. He must have died from shock.
The two others stared him in the eye, they both smiled under they're mask and aimed their rifles at him.
"Oi. Drop the blade Yankee. I'll blow the top of your lod of if ye don't." The hawk yelled.
-
Al bit his tongue. His implant wasn't going to be ready for another 5 minutes. And without it, dodging bullets wouldn't be possible. "And what if I do? Aren't you going to kill me anyway?"
-
"Nah we'll just give you to the bear. The mob would love to have you. Now come on and go back to that party." The hawk said backing up, his weapon still aimed at him.
-
(I responded, give me a minute and i will find it.)
Moka was knocked aside as the crows flew in and Alice was to scared to move.
"That's Clover's mate Lucas and the issue is...how do i put this...screw it, Clover is 6 months pregnant and she has pissed off the local mafia."
-
Al grinned from behind his mask. "I dunno... As promising as that sounds-" Al ditched his blade, sending it spiralling towards the hawk before lunging towards the other guy.
-
Ruby followed and helped get stuff out of the cubards. When she reached for one particular pot she screamed.
"S-Spider!" She fell on her butt her tail feathers unfolded and looked up at a fairly good sized spider that had made a web in the cubard.
Moka smiled and went to sleep herself. (Time skip.)
Cassy looked over her shoulder in surprise, then carefully walked over and offered Ruby a hand up. "Not fond of spiders?" she asked, smiling kindly.
Cifero ran in, fully dressed now. "What's going o...." As the crat sees the spider, he stops short and stands far back from that area.
Zanthe pulled her shirt down. "So...Should we get the clothing first, or should we do... the other thing," she murmured, still flushed in the cheeks despite her neutral expression.
Ruby takes Cassy's hand and when she stands up, hides behind Cassy as a furry shield.
"Not just spiders, just bugs in general. Never tell Rose this...but at first I almost wet myself when I saw her." Ruby seemed quite embarrassed that she used to be quite scared of Rose...which also is quite ironic considering how scared Rose was of Ruby.
Sierra walks in to see what was going on and face palms.
"It. Is just. A spider." She says and goes to the cabinet, picks up the spider gently in her palm and throws it out a nearby window onto the scaffolding.
(Here Cifero.
-
The hawk dodged it and quickly aimed his rifle at Al. The other Manchesters, a large badger screamed, "Don't mind me shoot the basterd!" The hawk shot towards Al screaming, "I WARNED YOU!"
-
The shot got Al in the right leg, which stopped him for a second before he extended a solid punch towards the jaw of the badger, letting the other arm move to his rifle.
-
Suddenly, the figure dashed out of the alleyway and, as the hawk was shooting, it slashed at his gun with a very odd looking longsword, knocking the gun aside just as the trigger was pulled (if successful.)
(... I'm not even going to bother putting a character sheet, it is absolutely clear who this is. @-@)
Zanthe pricked her ears up, drying off her hands from washing them and picking up the phone. "... I understand," she said. "Let me just grab my things... How is the mafia these days? I haven't really been paying attention... Also, how is Clover 6 months pregnant? She wasn't a couple weeks ago."
(OH MY GOD I'VE HAD TO REDO THIS LIKE 3 TIMES.)
-
It was and the Hawks gun flew out of his hands. The badger feel to the ground unconscious. The hawk pulled his balaclava off and pulled a knife from his belt. "I'll probably die. But I ain't giving up you sods."
-
Boss wasn't worrying, his men now heavily guarded around his building. He finally changed into a all black suit, only a silver bow tie which matched his eyes.
Devin got a text from Zaida. "Shit..." he ran back to the room. "Zanthe, it's important. It's going down at the party, I don't think are plan will be necessary now." He told her.
-

(lol, i have not been keeping track of the rp time. Clover has been gone for a long time that is all i know, well before i disappeared.)
-
(We ran a fair distance away from the building first. Those guards wouldn't'Ve been able to instantly target him. Although, I wasn't expecting Al to get saved like that))
Al looked over at the figure, cocking an eyebrow. "Well, I'll be damned..."
-
*The doctor looked at moka*
-
Moka quickly drew a hand gun on the the ground and picked it up to shoot the doctor.

The unconscious Doberman awoke. He pulled a radio out and quietly spoke into it. "Send back up... At.... The party"
At the Manchester base
Large groups of Manchester soldiers marched into armored trucks. Guns loaded and armor on. These were the best the Manchester orginzation could offer.

-
Zanthe was tucking a gun into her waistband, dressed in an olive-green tank top and a pair of jeans and talking on the phone. "Good... something else just came up," she murmured, still on the phone with Kammy. "We may need weapons... well, more weapons..."
(Well, considering the elements of the supernatural up in this word that rhymes with witch.... Who's to say there wasn't fairy magic involved?)
-
Al heard the Doberman speak and clenched his teeth. "We've got to move out of here Clare. Things are about to go from bad to worse really soon." Al quickly limped over to his car, picking his blade up along the way. He closed the trunk and turned on the ignition.

"Its weird...just trust me and get down here." Kammy says and hangs up.
-
A few moments had passed a trucks could be heard pulling up a block. Then it was silent....
Marching could be heard and.... Singing? A huge group of Manchesters could be seen marching. There had to be Atleast thirty. They sung.
"M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E Mickey Mouse! Forever let us hold our banner high! High! High! High!"
They held a banner which had the British Union Jack on it.
-
Clare hopped into the passenger seat. "Things didn't go as planned, huh?" she said, and if that mask was gone, a grin would be visible. "Well, we might want to hurry... I know you're okay with killing, but I prefer to not kill mortals if I can help it, you know?"
-
They kept marching still singing.
"Who's the leader of the company who's great for you and me! M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E! Mickey Mouse! Mickey Mouse! Forever let us hold our banner high! High! High! High!"
-
"Yeah, I remember." Al cocked an eye at their singing. "Mickey Mouse? They've got to be mocking me." Al put the car into drive and sped out of his parking spot, heading straight for the large group at full speed. He wasn't scared, knowing full well the glass could wistand quite a beating.
-
The group kept marching. They pointed their weapons at him, bayonets aimed right at his vehicle.
"M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E! Mickey Mouse! Mickey Mouse!"
-
Kammy, Clover and Lucas were waiting at the front door of the building.
"You two may have to wait in this building, looks like there is a problem and i should probably help." Clover nodded and rubbed her belly while Lucas made sure to keep watch for more triggermen.
-
Clare buckled her seatbelt. "I don't like this," she murmured. "There's something odd about those men."
Zanthe, patting Devin's arm, quickly walked downstairs to go meet the others, and opened the door, preparing to head out.
-
"They're badshit nuts. And British. But mostly badshit nuts part." Al just kept his foot down on the pedal, now going at 110km/h. Wasn't going to be long before he bashed into the group.
-
The group kept marching forward. Something about them seemed off. Like they crawled straight from the pits of Hell. Like an army of the undead. The Manchesters were know around the world for being merciless murders who killed not for profit but for the fun of it. They were also know for selling guns to large groups like militias and mobs.
They kept singing, cackles could be heard as well.
-
Clare tensed a bit. "Al, seriously. Turn a bit," she said, pulling out a pistol. "These guys are really bad news..."
-
Al bit his tongue again and his left eye turned black. They'd have to be crazy to not make even a slight movement out of the way. Something is off. I can't know for sure unless I hit them, but I can't risk it. He nodded and drifted to the left, turning down another street and speeding away from the crowd.
-
The group stopped. The singing stopped as well. It was dead silent.
The group stood in place. There weapons now to they're side.
The one in the front who looked like a captain pulled a radio out and spoke into it. "The enemy has retreated. Next course of action sir?"
Bailey picked up his radio, "Follow them.... Don't hurt them though. Just figure out where they are going. Well deal with them later." Bailey put the radio back and smiled at the bear. "Like I said.... everything is under control."
-
Kammy looked up and waved to Zanthee. Clover just fluttered her win and blushed as she did look very pregnant, Lucas right next to her. Lucas was fairly tall, painfully skinny with extra long limbs and had a very toothy smile...that never seemed to go away.
"So this is Zanthe, pleasure to meet you." Lucas said reaching out a hand, his fingers also disturbingly long.
-
Al continued speeding down the street, slowing down once the trucks left sight. "So... how've you bee- agh...!" Al gripped his side with one paw, still steering with the other. "Bloody sonofa..."
-
Devin without question, followed zanthe outside with whatever she was going to do.
-
( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PmILOL55xP0 (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PmILOL55xP0) The song was a reference to this.
Following behind Al from a very far distance was a small black sedan. It was so far away it was unnoticeable.
-
Clare glanced out the back a moment, getting an odd feeling about something behind them, then sighed and smiles as she noticed Al's wound. "You focus on driving, I'll get you fixed up, okay?" she said, leaning over to work on Al. "...And I've been good. It's been a while since we kicked some butt together."
Zanthe warily shook Lucas's hand. "Charmed," she said, her expression never changing. She did lift a hand to wave back to Kammy, however. Those things done, she turned to Clover. "...Six months, huh?" she asked. "Quite the feat for two weeks. Give or take half a week."
-
Moka quickly drew a hand gun on the the ground and picked it up to shoot the doctor.

*The Doctors body suddenly turned into a murder of crows, before reforming and sending 6 crows in her direction*
-
Al nodded. "A while indeed. Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting you to show up." Al looked into the rear view mirror. I know they're following us... but... I can't tell which one is them...
-
The car kept following then. Inside were two Manchesters who wore black jumpsuits instead of grey. The driver spoke into a radio, "They've probably noticed us. What should we do?" Bailey replied, "Keep following them..." The driver nodded. "Got it."
-
Clare shrugged. "Would you believe there's some supernatural stuff going on in the mafia?" she asked, gently pulling Al's shirt up a bit, to look at the wound. (How serious is it?)
-
(I dunno. How serious is a bayonet blade straight through your side? Also, bullet wound in his right leg.)
Al smirked. "I believe they're all out of their minds, so supernatural isn't too large of a step up." He continued driving, deciding to go to his back-up hideout instead of his house.
-
From out of no where, a large armored van pulled in behind Clare and Al. At the wheel was the masked man from the party, the Zambian. He waved gently at the two in front of him.
Inside the van, four men were working at a black metal frame and setting up something elaborate.
-
The sedan stopped and the driver sighed, "That's not one of ours...." They drove up into a hidden place and got out. They quickly scurried over to them and hid watching the events play out.
-
Al looked in the rear view, cocking an eyebrow at the wave. Him? From the party? Shit, this is bad news. "Clare, we've got possible company directly behind us. Gonna have to ask you stop saving my life for a few seconds so I can make sure they won't end ours."
-
The top of the van split open, and an armored copula armed with a mini-gun rose up. After a few moments, Al's ((or Clare's, depending on who has a)) phone received a text.
-
Al's eyes widened. Oh find me in the alps! "This.... this is not good..." Al looked down at his phone, reading the text message.
-
The driver who was a feret looked over at the passenger who was a eagle. Began to speak, "Oi. Why don't we have one of 'ose?" The hawk replied, "We Do... Now shut it and listen."
-
The text read as follows:
Keep driving until you see Warehouse 1818. Drive in there, and we'll talk. ~Z
The Mini gun scanned the street, ready to shoot anything that seemed off.
-
The two saw that the mini gun began to roll towards them. They sunk down so they wouldn't be spotted.
"This is bullshit..." The feret whispered
"Do you want to be swiss cheese? Shut it then." The eagle said with an annoyed ton
-
Al let his eye revert to blue again and slowly weighed back into his chair. One job. ONE. JOB. ONE ASSHOLE THAT HAD TO BE IN THE WAY OF THE BULLET. He took a deep breath out and put his phone away. "Well, how do you feel about a leisurely conversation with the guy currently threatening us with what looks to be a 3000RPM minigun?"
-
Clare glanced out the back a moment, getting an odd feeling about something behind them, then sighed and smiles as she noticed Al's wound. "You focus on driving, I'll get you fixed up, okay?" she said, leaning over to work on Al. "...And I've been good. It's been a while since we kicked some butt together."
Zanthe warily shook Lucas's hand. "Charmed," she said, her expression never changing. She did lift a hand to wave back to Kammy, however. Those things done, she turned to Clover. "...Six months, huh?" she asked. "Quite the feat for two weeks. Give or take half
a week."
"I keep telling her six month equivalent..." Clover mutters before clearing her throat at kammy, who shrugs.
"Yes well...gremlims pump babies out like there's no tomorrow. Since I am only half, I have about a week left...and guess how many I have in me." Before Zanthe could answer Clover held up three fingers, meaning she was having triplets.

Moka quickly drew a hand gun on the the ground and picked it up to shoot the doctor.
*The Doctors body suddenly turned into a murder of crows, before reforming and sending 6 crows in her direction*
Moka ran out of ammo and let out a silent scream as she couldn't draw fast enough.
"Leave her alone!" Alice cried and tried to invade the doctors mind.
-
*The doctor slowly turnt his head towards alice as his mind gave garbled and messy feedback*
-
Alice tried to maintain but she kept seeing horrifying images and the feed back eventually knocked her out cold.
(Where is red?
-
*Red charged towards the figure, who dodged him before grabbing him by the neck and drawing his syringes*
-
Moka struggled against the crows and managed to draw an awkwardly shaped bomb and blew it up.
-
*The doctor flinched and looked at the dead crows the laid around moka, he breathed heavily as the injuries formed on his body*
-
Moka made a few more bombs and seeing that it hurt him threw them at his feet.
-
*crows suddenly flew out the window*
-
(I am going to assume the guy the left.)
Moka sigh in relief but realized she still had live bombs. Quickly she manages to erase them before they go off.
-
Another text was sent to Al's phone.
Just another mile, next exit on your right. Don't forget. ~Z
The truck behind Al honked, but the driver had changed. Instead of the Zambian, a white suited black cat sat behind the wheel.
-
The Manchesters instead of riding in the car followed behind on foot.
"**censor**! Why are we even doing this?!" The feret yelled.
"Because it's our job!" The eagle replied
-
(Wait for Cifero please.)
FuckFuckFuckFuck. Al looked over at Clare and sighed. "Look, if this ends up going to shit, I want you to take every opportunity to get out of there." Al turned right and looked for warehouse
-
They both stopped and sighed, the feret smiled, "You look like you could use a drink?" The eagle growled, "Shut it Connor. " Connor laughed, "Sorry Henry."
-
Clare glanced out the back a moment, getting an odd feeling about something behind them, then sighed and smiles as she noticed Al's wound.

Moka ran out of ammo and let out a silent scream as she couldn't draw fast enough.
"Leave her alone!" Alice cried and tried to invade the doctors mind.
Clare, who had been watching the truck behind them in the mirror, nodded once. "If you insist," she said. "Also, to be totally honest... Talking to this guy might be exponentially bad." She looked at Al. "Did you want me to try hiding in the car while you talk to him? It's not really my style, but if he doesn't know I'm here..." She was thinking that maybe she'd at least be able to get an idea of who this guy was.
Zanthe raised an eyebrow slightly, then nodded. "Well, congratulations," she said, tugging at the hem of her tank top a bit. She still had to get new clothes, so she was using what she had. The army green top she was wearing fit her well enough, but had a couple of small rips and tears from past wounds. "...Did you want to come in?" the catfox asked, rubbing the back of her head.
-
Clover nodded and went inside with Lucas. Kammy stayed and started digging through her bag of holding.
"So let me give you some quick details on the mob issue. So Clover and Lucas stole...more then a few crates of produce from a pretty seedy looking store. Doesn't sound to bad at first I know, but when they called me over to inspect the crates...I found a lot of these in a secret compartments." Kammy pulled out a brief case from the bag and opened revealing an awful lot of syringes that were filled with some drug that Zanthe very likely has not seen before as it was new.
-
Clover nodded and went inside with Lucas. Kammy stayed and started digging through her bag of holding.

Kammy pulled out a brief case from the bag and opened revealing an awful lot of syringes that were filled with some drug that Zanthe very likely has not seen before as it was new.
Zanthe gently bent in close, examining the syringes with her gaze. "...What's in them?" she asked.
Cassy gently patted Ruby's shoulder. "Come on... let's keep packing," she said, swishing her tail urgently.
-
The two still followed behind the car, the huffed and puffed as they ran.
"WHY DIDN'T WE TAKE THE BLOODY CAR?" Conner asked
"Shut it and RUN!" Henry yelled as they both sprinted behind trying to keep out of sight
-
"Look, if I die tonight, it's because I deserve it. You, on the other hand, shouldn't even be involved in this little mishap of mine. While I appreciate you saving my ass, these guys mean business. It's a wonder why they haven't shot at us already..." Al pulled into the parking space of the warehouse.
-
The truck pulled in behind Al, stopping in the driveway.
The Zambian stepped out of the warehouse, and waved at Al.
-
The two stopped and hid behind a dumpster watching the scene play out.
"We should call backup soon..." Conner said.
"In a bit. Once the time strikes right, we'll kill 'em" Henry said with a smile.
They both laughed manically.
-
Clover nodded and went inside with Lucas. Kammy stayed and started digging through her bag of holding.

Cassy gently patted Ruby's shoulder. "Come on... let's keep packing," she said, swishing her tail urgently.
(Just so you know, Ruby is like Misty from pokemon with how scared she is of bugs. Just for reference.)
Ruby nods and the packing only takes a little while longer.
Kammy shrugs. "Don't know but I broke it down with my alchemy supplies and it seems to have both magical and scientific properties. It will certainly create that high that a lot of druggies thirst for but the magic has some transformative affects, slowly altering both the mind and body to more primitive version. Just one dose can start the process and the more you take the quicker it takes affect."
-
Guards seemed to circulate around the warehouse, armed to the teeth with things even the military tried to keep secret.
A note fluttered down behind the dumpster the two Manchesters were hiding behind. It read simply:
Go home. ~Z
-
The eagle picked up the note and read it, "**censor** off!" He yelled.
The feret pulled a radio out and spoke into it, "Send in a shit ton of guys down at the warehouse near the party."
-
((Please wait for Cirero... Again XP ))
Al stepped out of the vehicle, looking at the Zambian. He chose to keep his left eye closed for now, resting it, just in case he'd need it.
-
The Zambian tilted his head, paws folded neatly behind his back. "Where is your friend? There were two of you in the car." He then turned to the suit closest to him. "Please, if those silly Manchester men decide to continue their exploits, have them removed." He shook his head, speaking quietly before returning his attention to Al. "Silly boys shouldn't play with mad dogs. Anyway, you're probably wondering why you're here, and why I haven't smoked you yet."
-
Clare was still in the car, still masked, and crouched inside, a blanket over her as she listened. No one should be able to see her from the outside.
Cifero gets fully dressed and packs everything that is needed.
Cassy packs the last thing and looks over at Ruby. "I take it you can move pretty fast?" she asked.
Zanthe let out a low whistle. "That's some pretty nasty stuff," she murmured. "I think there might be some ulterior motives behind them wanting their drugs back..."
-
Al looked around him. "Actually, I'm more wondering when the last time I heard someone refer to themselves as 'mad dogs' was. But yeah, those are two very relevant questions." Al maintained a grip at his side. The bleeding was slowing, but it still hurt a lot.
-
*The Doctor reforms in the park, he rubbed a hand over the injuries from his encounter*
"Interesting, It seems she Is able to make simple drawings into actual objects"*He looked at the dead crow he held in his hands, before he started walking across the grass and observing the apartment from afar*
"Worthy adversaries indeed."*He said whilst pouring a substance from a small flask on his wounds, causing them to close and smoke abit*
-
The Zambian nodded. "Well, I'm not looking to kill you, that's for starters. You're little uh..." At this he tapped the left side of his head. "Skill there is very interesting. Secondly, I wanted to talk with you and keep you from those silly men pretending to be ruthless." Now at this, the Zambian whipped out a phone. "Please get me the families of those fools following my friend Al here, and bring me their first child." He then closed the phone and looked sheepishly, or a sheepishly one could in a mask, at Al. "Sorry, that was rude. But, anyway, what other questions do you have?" As he spoke, guards approached the car and tapped on the window.
-
Clare tensed up and remembered what Al had said as she heard the tap on her window. Crap, she thought, staying still for a few moments. She was wearing a t-shirt under her bodysuit, so they wouldn't see her scar, but still... it was worrying that they somehow knew she was still there.
-
Al continued to keep his left eye closed. "That doesn't answer the question of why I'm not riddled with bullets. You want something, but aren't saying it." Al slowly approached the Zambian, limping on his weakened side.
-
The Zambian clapped. "Well of course I want something from you, dear boy! Your little skill is something I'd like to have on my payroll. It's simple. You work for me and get payed. Easy peasy?"
-
Al thought it over. "Sorry, but I don't work for anyone. Been offered plenty of contracts from cut-and-paste rich and powerful types like you, but I've turned them all down. However..." Al looked back at the machine gun, "I don't feel like this is one of those times I can simply turn down your 'offer'."
-
The Zambian shook his head. "Rich and powerful? Son, you're not from around here, are you?"
-
Al shook his head. "Neither do I plan on staying here. Or more, 'did'. I still have a head I need to take."
-
The Zambian chuckled. "Persistent, huh? What if I offered you double to leave your mark alone?"
-
Al raised an eyebrow. "Persistent, dedicated, merciless, bloodthirsty, it's all the same when you've been playing this little game for as long as I have. That aside, do you know how much I'm being paid?"
-
The Zambian planted his paws on his hips. "I know I can double it. Triple it, even."
-
The two continued to listen... Waiting
-
The wolf grinned from underneath his mask. "Well. I'll have you know a group of lovely individuals, whose names I'm obligated not to disclose to anyone, have decided to come together to pay me a half for the head of 'Boss'. If you can triple that, not only will I leave him alone, I will happily throw in a few hits free of charge." Al's grip on his side tightened a little. The blood loss was starting to go to his head and he needed to rest, but he managed to play it off that he was fine.
-
Clare furrowed her brow under the blanket. What the heck is this guy....? she muttered. I'm still getting bad vibes from him... Something's up.
-
Down the street out of sight. The Manchesters began to mobilize. They wouldn't attack until provoked but they began to run towards the warehouse out of sight. Watching. Listening
-
The Zambian nodded. "It's a done deal. How 'bout we get you patched up, huh?" He motioned towards the warehouse. "It's nicer than you think. Also, if your friend won't come out and play, we'll gladly get them out."
-
Al's expression instantly hardened. "So much as lay a finger on my friend and the deal is off. As for getting patched up, I'd rather retreat to my own quarters to do that." Al extended a paw towards the Zambian, offering a hand shake. "Shake my hand, and I'll send you the details of my bank account via message. If the funds aren't transferred within 72 hours of that message, the deal is off."
((Just being clear here 'a half' refers to 'a half of a million.'
-
Al's expression instantly hardened. "So much as lay a finger on my friend and the deal is off. As for getting patched up, I'd rather retreat to my own quarters to do that." Al extended a paw towards the Zambian, offering a hand shake. "Shake my hand, and I'll send you the details of my bank account via message. If the funds are transferred within 72 hours of that message, the deal is off."
((Just being clear here 'a half' refers to 'a half of a million.'
(Aren't transferred...?)
Clare sighed. Well, they know I'm here, she thought. I suppose I could get out with time, but... I don't think I'll remove my mask. I don't trust this man.
She felt her legs starting to get a little cramped up.
-
The Zambian turned and whistled, and a large duffel-bag was brought forth. The Zambian took the bag, and tossed it beside Al. "The first half of your payment. Though I'd much prefer you stay here, until those Manchesters decide to leave."
The guards around the car pulled the door open, and offered a paw to Clare. "This way, miss."
-
They had finally gotten to the warehouse. How ever they were out of sught. But in the ally ways, rooftops and various other places, they waited.
-
The Zambian suddenly tensed up. "Get inside, now-ish if y'please."
-
(Brb. Just RP while I'm gone.)
-
Al picked up the duffel-bag and shook his head, before turning to the guards. "Oi! Not a finger on the gal! I seriously doubt your boss will miss your employ should a workplace 'accident' decide to happen in your sleep!" Al turned to the Zambian. "I'm going to assume you don't know my name since I don't know yours. I'm Al."
-
Clare, sighing, gently balled up the blanket and tucked it in a bag she was carrying. "You didn't say please," she said, looking at the guard through her mask. She'd be grinning behind it, and she was disguising her voice. "Also, considering that I'm not REALLY involved here, does it really matter where I decide to stay?" In Al's head, her voice suddenly spoke up telepathically. *Don't say my real name, please... I have a bad feeling about this.*
-
Forgot you can do that. But, I'll keep it noted. Al turned to look at Clare, keeping a watchful eye on the guards.
-
The Zambian shook his head. "Your violent friends have decided to bring in the reinforcements. I'd like to keep at least you, dear Al, safe. And, for names, just refer to me as the Zambian."
-
Al rolled his eyes. "Come on partner. We may as well take refuge here. Besides, I'm not trusting anyone here besides you with making sure these bullet holes aren't going to be too much of a problem for much longer." the wolf turned back to the Zambian. "Alright, Zambian. Show us the door."
-
The Zambian motioned at a blue door behind him. "Hurry, please."
The guard once again offered his paw to Clare."M'lady."
-
Clare stood up easily without the man's help, but lightly touched his paw just so that she wasn't totally uncourteous. "Thank you," she murmured, walking after Al and the Zambian. She glanced back at the car, still getting the most awful feeling....
-
The Zambian quickly ushered Al and Clare into the warehouse, which was moreso a large mansion than a warehouse.
-
Al waited for Clare to move in front. "Oh, try to keep the car in-tact. Not only will it be very difficult to replace, it's also got some 'merchandise' in there that is very valuable to me. Anything gone from there will be nearly impossible to replace to quite the same quality." He followed inside after.
-
Clare glanced around as they walked through the mansion-warehouse, keeping an eye out for security systems both electronic and organic.
-
The guards inside the warehouse seemed to be even more well armed than those outside, some even sporting experimental power armor.
-
Noticing the high tech gear, Al decided it would be best if he kept his eye open. That's... unsettling... He kept following the Zambian, limping behind at a reasonable pace.
-
Clare, while mostly unfazed, still got that bad feeling. Those sorts of weapons might mess even me up...
-
(Can't read all the post, don't plan to. Also I'm thinking about restarting for Zaida completely... I want to use her more. Pretend she wasn't around, besides she didn't do much anyways so it won't really change anything.)
Devin sat at the computer, typing. He was frustrated while reporting back that the mission was compromised to the organization
A text on the screen came up. "Ah I see... Report back at base ASAP so we can clear things up, please try to bring 'zanthe' as well if she's not busy. We may have to do this the hard way you understand that? we can't wait any longer, especially since the mafia is on their toes."
"I understand, I'll be there soon" Devin sent before getting up.
-
(Sorry i have't responded the past couple of days, my life has been hectic. :S )
-
The silhouettes of the Manchesters could be seen. They ran back and forth watching the warehouse. Whispers could be heard abd the sounds of guns being loaded echoed throughout the night.
Bailey left the party and went to the main Manchesters base.
-
(It's okay, Moka. ^-^)
Zanthe waited for Kammy's reply, getting the feeling that Devin would be dropping in soon.
-
*Red sat in the park, reading a book and yawning*
-
The Zambian sighed, as his people brought him reconnaissance reports. "The entire Manchester group? Great..." He stomped like an irate child for a moment, before calming himself. "Sorry. I got a little upset. Prep the attack chopper, get ready for a rumble."
-
Al sighed, looking at his side and leg. "Even though I'll probably injure myself trying, all I need is an automatic weapon and enough bullets to put one in all of their heads. Just putting the offer out there."
-
The Zambian looked Al up and down. "Please, take use of our medical facility. I don't want you bleeding to death out there. Please?"
-
"You seriously underestimate me. But, I'll do as you wish. After all, you've been very generous these past many minutes." Al lessened his grip a little, looking down at his leg. "Where would these medical facilities happen to be?"
-
A beautiful young female squirrel quickly took Al's paw, and lead him to the medical facility. Inside, several doctors were already on standby.
-
Al looked back at Clare as he was moved to the medical area. He didn't want to leave her - there being safety in numbers - but knew she could handle herself. As he could with himself. "Sheesh. All this for a stab and a bullet wound?"
-
The female squirrel nodded. "Of course. Mr. Z wants all of his men in peak condition."
-
"His men?" Al grabbed the squirrel by the arm and looked her dead in the eye. "I'm no ones man but my own. That clear?"
-
The squirrel nodded quickly. "I-I d-didn't m-mean to offend s-sir. I-I'm s-sorry."
-
Al let go of her arm and moved past her. "Then watch how you speak to others. girl. You'll find others won't always be as merciful as I am." Al moved onto a surgical table, dropping the duffel bag beside it.
-
The doctors set to work fixing Al, and were finished within a few minutes.
-
Al sat up grunting a little. He gave his side a quick prod before standing up. "Thank you."
-
The doctors all nodded, and motioned to the door.
-
(Maybe we should slow down a little.)
Al picked up his duffel bag and exited the room.
-
(Can anyone fill me in on what is happening? I have tried to find where i was last...but it might be buried by now. :$ )
-
Devin walked over to the counter and picked up his phone. Then he called Zanthe, waiting to see if she'd answer.
A mysterious anthro drove into the city. The monstress drove a black matted 1960 SS Camaro (my favorite car~). In hopes to start over and make a living here in ascension.
-
*Red was waking out of the park, the bustling city environment wasn't his favorite... But he has to live with it for a while
-
The Manchesters could be seen in the allys and rooftops watching, they weren't there to fight. Only to watch
-
Zaida parked in and open spot in the street. Stepping out to get some air, studying the city and some anthros.
-
The area Zaida had parked in was Manchester territory. Close by was there base.
A group of men could be seen walking out of a cafe. Each in suits. They saw Zaida and watched her. One of them ran up towards her and smiled, "Good day." He ha d Australian accent and was a large dingo.
-
Zaida cocked her head back and slightly backed up as the dingo quickly approached her. With a raised brow and ears leaned back. "Hello, can I help you?" She asked quietly.
-
He looked at Zaida then back towards his friends, "Me and my mates are apart of a little group. The Manchesters it's called. You heard of us?" He asked with a smile
-
"No I'm afraid not, I'm new here and haven't been out much." She out her paws in her pocket glancing at the group. "Why, what is it."
-
The dingo laughed, "Just a little organization... The only reason we asked you is because you like the kind of person who's done some bad things." He leaned on a near by car. "And we need people who can do bad things."
-
Zaida felt on edge as he said that, it made her uncomfortable. "What the hell are you talking about?" She scoffed. "You don't know shit about me, get off my car." She said slightly aggravated.
-
The dingo frowned, "I wouldn't say such harsh things like that around these parts." Behind Zaida was a tall bear with the normal Manchester uniform, expect it was a colored in Partizan Camo and he wore a Russian MVD helmet.
The bear growled and spoke in a thick Russian accent, "Come with us."
-
*Red was waliing across the street, the sky seemed fairly gloomy so he put hi hood up incase it rained*
-
"I'll say what I want." Zaida quickly turned around seeing that she was surrounded. "I'm not going anywhere with any of you!" She roared at the bear.
-
He gave out a loud hardy laugh and pulled a pistol out from his holster, "I said... Come with me."
-
Zaida was armed but there was no way in hell she would be able to grab her knife or pistol before getting shot. Instead with a nod the monstress "Fine.. lead the way..." She simply said with a hiss.
-
The group lead Zaida towards a large compound. Men cold be seen marching and running back and forth. It looked like their easily could be one thousand of them.
They entered the large main building. Walked down a few halls then was stopped in front of a door that just read 'Stowe'
The bear huffed, "Enter."
-
As they walked through the building Zaida studied the area carefully. The monstress confused on what was going on, and what would happen. Without hesitation she followed the command and entered the room, the door closing behind her.
-
In the middle of the room was a desk. Sitting behind that desk was a bearded vulture, his feathers were white and he wore a dark green trench coat. He was speaking over a radio, "Is the warehouse surronded?" He said.
A voice responded back, "Da. They open fire and that whole place is done."
The vulture smiled and looked over at the door. He stopped talking and put the radio down, ".... Zaida..... I wasn't expecting you."
-
She crossed her arms at the bearded the vulture, her tail whipping the air and ears leaned back. "What do... Wha-wait, how the hell do you know my name?" She growled coldly.
-
He smiled and stood up, "It's me! Bailey! We knew each other from school?" He smiled. His face turned to a frown, "I suppoose you were taken here by force..."
-
She thought for a moment. "Oh school... place I hated most." She murmured. "Yes, they threatened me when I wasn't cooperating."
-
He sat back down and frowned, "Terribly sorry for that... But sincey you're here. Why don't you sit down."
-
Zaida went ahead and took a seat. The monstress trying to make herself comfortable.
-
Bailey sat back in his chair and yawned, "So... What have you been up to for the few past years?"
-
Zaida sighed lightly. "Hmp, Nothing good... and I don't want to go into it. I came here to leave my past behind." She said quietly.
-
He sighed, "Well.... You came to Ascension. This was the wrong town to come to if you wanted to escape your past." He folded his arms and huffed
-
From a water-tower opposite the warehouse, a group of sniper teams were getting into position. Someone had called in the heavily armored van driving down the road, and the sudden appearance of armed men, and so the SWAT team had deployed in the area.
-
"I doubt it. Besides anywhere is fine... although I hate cities it'll give me a easier chance to start over." Zaida replied quietly.
-
Devin walked over to the counter and picked up his phone. Then he called Zanthe, waiting to see if she'd answer.
A mysterious anthro drove into the city. The monstress drove a black matted 1960 SS Camaro (my favorite car~). In hopes to start over and make a living here in ascension.
(Moka, Zanthe's still with Clover and Kammy, Cassy's still with Ruby and Sierra and Cifero, and I dunno where Moka is.)
Zanthe blinked and picked up her phone. ".... Hello?" she said, holding up a finger for a minute.
Cassy looked over at Ruby. "Looks like we'll be going soon...."
Clare tensed up, getting a rather bad feeling...
-
Al returned to Clare. "This isn't good at all. Those guys just follow us here, and everything just goes quiet. I don't like it at all. I'm going back out to grab my weapons."
-
Devin stopped tapping his foot "Hey Zanthe, it's about the mission. I have to head to the 'organization' and they'd like to meet you as well. Of course if you're available" he said.
-
Zanthe looked at the people around her. "Uh... I might be," she said. "Hey Devin, is it okay if a few people stay at the house? Some of my friends from before found your place and need somewhere to lay low."
-
(Since I restarted for Zaida)
"Oh? Yea no problem, I have another spare room too" He said. "Just be sure no one follows you... if anyone finds out I'm here, I'm screwed." Devin finished.
-
"I doubt it. Besides anywhere is fine... although I hate cities it'll give me a easier chance to start over." Zaida replied quietly.
Bailey leaned back in his chair and smiled, "Well... You found me and now you HAVE to help me out." He whistled and the bear came into the room.
"You need me?" The bear asked.
Bailey spoke back, "Show my friend the compound and what we do."
-
"One; I didn't find you, your men forced me. Two; I don't need to do shit." She growled coldly. The monstress snarling as the bear approached her.
-
The bear frowned, "Why do you have to make this so hard?!" He proceeded to stomp towards her before Bailey could be heard yelling, "STOP!" He pointed at the bear, "Don't hurt her! I didn't want her here. You brought her. If she doesn't want to see our little organization, she doesn't need to see." He sat back in the chair and looked at Zaida.
"I'm terribly sorry. I didn't want them to bring you here. Hell... I didn't even know you were here." He said
-
"Who said I wasn't interested in this 'organization'? I just don't like being told what to do... I'll make my own decisions." Zaida said with a sigh. "Also It's not you that needs to apologize." She stood up turning to the bear "HE does." She huffed.
-
The bear laughed, "I'm sorry Princess." Bailey looked at the bear and frowned, then he looked back towards Zaida, "That's the spirit." He stood up and opened the door, "I'll show you around."
-
"Not accepted, peasant." She simply said. Without any question she followed behind bailey her hands folded in front of her. The monstress curious what this organization was about.
-
Bailey exited the main building with Zaida the bear followed along.
Troops marched left and right.
Bailey then stopped and pointed at various groups of men.
"Over here we have the main fighting force. The Brits." He said while pointed at a small group of men standing at attention (http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120922141234/battlefield/images/f/fe/Bf3.RU.Assault.png)
He then walked over to another group and pointed, "Here we have the Russian division... Home to the... Russians." Some soldiers looked over at Zaida (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/70/50/3d/70503d13b1bf6d766931ac0d17e24f9b.jpg) and growled then went back to what they were doing.
He made his way towards another group, while doing so he spoke, "The Manchester's are a international mercenary organization. We go to places and get paid to kill people. Our main source of income though is weapon trading. We sell weapons to everyone... Currently our main buyer is the Mob in Acension."
-
Zaida studied the area and the anthros, snarling back at the Russians. She gave a small nod. "I see... Well I got to say, You got a nice set up." She said a bit impressed with the origination.
-
He nodded and smiled, "Thank you."
He went towards another group and pointed, "This is the Germans. They work with vehicles and the such." They didn't look at Zaida or Bailey (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/f4/ce/9e/f4ce9ec6a9fe9fc66d1ca2ec61396945.jpg) since they all were working on tanks and other vehicles.
And the final group Bailey pointed at was the Chinese, "This is our Chinese unit. They're tough SOB's." They all were in a line. (http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/battlefield/images/3/32/Chinese_Engineer.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130801075038) In front of them was a large tiger yelling in Chinese at them
he looked at Zaida, "So. How do you like it all?"
-
The Zambian sighed. "Are we really gonna have to do this?" He walked towards a hatch near the rear of the building. "Get the stuff ready! Big Billy's got a show in five!" The Zambian quickly took Clare and Al's wrists, speaking quietly. "There are places we need to be, this is not one of them."
-
Al drew his wrist back. "Sorry, but I'm not leaving without the contents of that car."
-
The Zambian nodded. "We aren't going far. Just a safer place."
-
Once he finished showing her around she huffed while still glancing about "Impressive." She simply said. "However why are you showing me this, surely this is a secret Organization. If I'm correct, or at least you guys stay low. Why show me?" She questioned the bearded vulture.
-
Al remained firm. "What is in that car is more valuable to me than the contents of this duffel bag. I'm not leaving without it." He turned to go back towards the entrance they came in from.
-
The Zambian sighed. "Get someone to retrieve the contents of our guests' car."
Several power armored goons began grabbing large machine-guns, and followed Al."
-
Al proceeded to the door with caution, letting the power armoured goons go outside first.
-
(Just a quick update on clover. I have a small plot ready for her and it may not end well, because I had planned on it.)
Clover sat on the couch in the hideout that Zanthe and Devin had helped her get to. Lucas was doing something with some maps and clover was worried what it was about.
"What are you doing babe?" Clover asks getting up to see what it was.
"A heist my dear, I am tired of living like this. Always on the run, always hiding, this is no life to raise three kids in." Lucas said and the maps were't just any maps...they were maps to the biggest federal bank in this city. The details were amazing, but Clover sighed.
"How am I supposed to help you pull this off when I have babies to worry about?" She says but Lucas looks up and his permanent smile gets bigger.
"Your not...I am going in alone." Clover slams a hand on the table.
"No your not! We are partners and if I lost you I don't know what I would do!" Clover looked at the plan though and it did look full proof. He had the code to the vault, he had an escape plan and it seemed their was no way this could fail.
"...however...I can still help you." She says after a long pause.
"What?! You are pregnant and about to have the baby in a week! The bank's sermcurity system is on the frits right now and I need to do this plan tomorrow before they fix it. Furthermore..." Clover cuts him off with a kiss. Lucas is surprised but kisses back.
"We are doing this together...no more arguing." She says and Lucas begrudgingly nods. He knew there was nothing that could go wrong so what was the harm in it.
"Now...how about we celebrate our future success?" She pulls out a disk of their favorite song, "partners in crime" by Set It Off. Lucas nods as she puts plays the song on a nearby radio. The two dance with each other and sing a beautiful duet, unaware of the figure that was watching them outside the window surrounded by wisps of light. Before they could figure out he was there he was gone.
(Here is a link to the song they are singing. I think it describes the fate of these two perfectly.)

-
"Alright... I'll let them know that," the catfox replied, looking around the room at Clover, Kammy, and Lucas. "Will I need to..." Zanthe looked at Clover and Lucas as they spoke. "...Dress up at all... hold on." She covered the phone. "No heists. Not while you're staying here...." The catfox thought she saw something out the window, but just ignored it for now.
(You're not in a safe house, you're in his actual house.... o-o)
-
Devin heard a bit of babbling in the background, too muffled by the phone to hear their conversation. "Nah whatever you're wearing is fine, no need to get dressed up." He replied leaning against the wall.
-
Devin heard a bit of babbling in the background, too muffled by the phone to hear their conversation. "Nah whatever you're wearing is fine, no need to get dressed up." He replied leaning against the wall.
Clare, for the moment, calmly followed the Zambian.
"Alright... Where should we meet?" Zanthe asked, stretching a little bit.
-
"Alright... I'll let them know that," the catfox replied, looking around the room at Clover, Kammy, and Lucas. "Will I need to..." Zanthe looked at Clover and Lucas as they spoke. "...Dress up at all... hold on." She covered the phone. "No heists. Not while you're staying here...." The catfox thought she saw something out the window, but just ignored it for now.
(You're not in a safe house, you're in his actual house.... o-o)
(Oops...I need a refresher on what has happened.)

(That is the most horrific thing i have seen in a while.)

Once he finished showing her around she huffed while still glancing about "Impressive." She simply said. "However why are you showing me this, surely this is a secret Organization. If I'm correct, or at least you guys stay low. Why show me?" She questioned the bearded vulture.
Bailey looked at Zaida and sighed, "Well... Since my men did bring you here. I guess I wanted to show you. Maybe convince you to join us." He smiled.
At the warehouse, the Manchester soldiers watched the warehouse, if they exited the warehouse they wouldn't shoot. They were just watching.
-
(That is the most horrific thing i have seen in a while.)
(I said it was nightmare full...but luckily she has an anthro upper body...right?)
-
(Right...Anyway, Accepted)
-
(Wow there's way too many characters...)
"I don't know... uh where are you now?" Devin asked her.
Zaida thought for a moment while studying the organization and the anthros training there. "Well I came here for one reason, start over..." she murmured before shrugging lightly. "I'm convinced, where do I start?" She asked bailey, crossing her arms.
-
(Not really, I gladly accept characters that'll provide chances to expand upon their own stories)
-
(I kind of agree with Zaida...but that is why this is my final character and I may get rid of a few I don't use.)
Post Merge: October 08, 2016, 12:25:13 AM
One of the windows to Devin's apartment slowly opens and as clover sits down grumbling after being effectively scolded by Zanthe...a large string of web shoots out and entangles her. She is dragged to the window very quickly and the figure from earlier could be seen but much clearer now as she was in the window.
-
(He lives in a house. o-o)
Zanthe pricks her ears up. "At your house... hold on," she said, pulling out a knife and running over to try to sever the web. "...Do you have a safe house?"
-
The power-armored furs stepped outside, and scanned about with their weapons drawn. They kept close to Al, ready to catch a round for him.
-
Devin nodded "Yea I do, why do you ask?" He questioned.

-
(He lives in a house. o-o)
Zanthe pricks her ears up. "At your house... hold on," she said, pulling out a knife and running over to try to sever the web. "...Do you have a safe house?"
(...there are houses in city's? Maybe i am thinking big cities. Also welcome back Katheti, i miss jue .3.)
Your knife did barely anything to it...however Lucas's Scythe that he just conjured, cut through it like butter. Clover gasped for air as she free...sort of.
Kammy jumped out the window and tackled who ever this potential hit man was, making them both fall to the ground.
-
Clare got some bad premonitions....
Zanthe looked at the blade. "I need to get some magical weapons," she muttered. "Well... Something tells me that we may want to move them there... Excuse me." Zanthe followed Kammy out the window, trying to see who the attacker was as well.
-
(Sorry forgot about Ruby and all that, also its kammy who jumped. :P )
Sierra is guiding the group through a lot of back alleys and empty streets, trying to avoid street gangs and possible violence.
Kammy stumbled to the ground as she did not land so gracefully.
"Ow..." Kammy tries to get up and narrowly dodges what looked like a massive spike. However once she got to her feet...she saw it was actually a really large spider leg as a masked spider-taur took a martial stance with several wisps surrounding her.
"...great a Ki master. My lucky day." Kammy knew ki masters were masters of the body, mind and spirit...so this was going to be a pain.
-
Zambian approached a huge metal door, and threw it open. "Safe room, liable to withstand a direct nuclear blast."
-
Al walked outside and opened the trunk of his car, attaching all his weapons to some part of his clothing. "Hello lovelies..." He said as he put his knives into his belt.
-
Clare raised an eyebrow. "After you, then," she said, standing with her arms crossed.
Cassy walked along beside Ruby, carrying a number of things. "It shouldn't be too far," she whispered to the peacock.
Cifero walked behind the girls, since he could afford to die.
Zanthe, outside now, noticed the spirit energy swirling around the spider. "...Also, can you take a prisoner?" she murmured into the phone.
-
"Yea sure-" He paused. "Prisoner" Devin mumbled with confusion, his brows furrowed. "Wait what do you mean? What's going on?" He asked.
-
"Yea sure-" He paused. "Prisoner" Devin mumbled with confusion, his brows furrowed. "Wait what do you mean? What's going on?" He asked.
Zanthe sighed. "Hopefully, nothing that will compromise you," she said, resisiting breaking the fourth wall to say that the plot had compromised things.
-
He thought for a second "Uh sure..." Devin nodded. "I'll text you the address to the safe house then."
-
He thought for a second "Uh sure..." Devin nodded. "I'll text you the address to the safe house then."
"Alright... When do you need me at that meeting?" she murmured, keeping an eye on the combat.
-
The spider in a blink of an eye teleported right in front of kammy and faster then most people could follow with their eyes unleashed a barrage of punches and quick jabs. Kammy having supernatural speed as well was able to keep up her defense but couldn't throw a singld punch.
With its second set of arms the spider started making punches towards zanthe to direct the Ki wisps to attack. They shot at Zanthe like bullets as more appeared beside the spider...which the more ki wisps that seemed to leave the spider grasp also seemed to do a little bit of pain to it as well. In other words her ki wisps were a double edged sword.
-
"Uh probably in two hours?" He said looking at his watch. "Again, if you're able to go."
-
Clare raised an eyebrow. "After you, then," she said, standing with her arms crossed.
Cassy walked along beside Ruby, carrying a number of things. "It shouldn't be too far," she whispered to the peacock.
Cifero walked behind the girls, since he could afford to die.
Zanthe, outside now, noticed the spirit energy swirling around the spider. "...Also, can you take a prisoner?" she murmured into the phone.
"Don't worry it's close...but not what you expect." Sierra went into an old run down church. She lead us down some stairs and into the basement where in the back there was a massive stone door with holy wards on it.
-
"Alright... Hold on just a second," Zanthe said, dodging some ki wisps as she noted the pain that they caused the spider. Moving quickly, the catfox set about dodging the wisps, though some of them did graze her body in non-vital places... though this would not really hurt her all that much.
Cassy raised an eyebrow. "Holy wards?" she murmured, looking at the entrance. "What are you guys expecting...?"
-
"Nothing to big...but these wards prevent pretty much anyone who doesn't know the code to get in. Now...Maelstrom!" Sierra says and the door began to open. However as it did there was someone on the other side...an anthro wearing a skill mask, hooded black jacket and dark blue pants.
"...Hello loves...and former lover." The man says directly to Sierra with a hint of venom in his voice.
-
(What about Zanthe....?)
Cassy tensed up and quickly drew her knife, holding it behind her.
Cifero did the same, but made no pretense of hiding it. "How did you get in there?" he asked.
-
(Sorry :$ )
"Yes how did i get in here? Better quest yet, if i was able to get in here...how really safe is this "Safe house" if someone was able to break in before you even got here?" The man said and Sierra looked pissed. Ruby held a pair of fireballs in her hands expecting this to go south.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Sierra demanded. The man simply chuckled
"Who am i...i think you should be asking that question about yourself. After all...i know exactly who you are." As he said that sierra's eyes went wide.
(Also i was going to tell you she isn't immune to magic...she just has a strong resistance to certain spells that affect the mind. The reason your knife didn't cut the webs is because they are as strong steel fibers.)
-
(Mind and body. Technically, she should be resistant to other magics as well, but she was not properly trained in that.)
Cassy prepared the shield spell she had been perfecting for weeks.
Cifero raised an eyebrow, not standing down. "Then let's sit down and talk," he said. "We can skip the unpleasantries."
-
(oh I didn't think of that then yeah she probably is.)
"Ah yes talking is the preferred method here...besides the reason I am here is to actually give a warning and tell you where you can find yourself." Sierra looked shocked and was about to say something, but the man raised his hand for silence. "The next time we meet I will be forced to try and kill you all, but until then I think the city's museum has gotten it's hands on a set of medieval artifacts from Japan...including an old tomb."
The spider hissed and start jabbing it's towards Zanthe. However, having to focus on two targets ment that kammy could finally fight back. Kammy charged her fist with necrotic power and punched the spider sapping it's strength and feeding herself.
-
Zanthe continued to duck, roll, and dodge around the attacks, looking like something out of an anime.
Cifero raised an eyebrow, then pulled his shirt up to show the circular wound around his navel. "Does this mark look familiar?" he asked.
-
((Wrong RP Zaida XP ))
-
((I was about to say something... uh...)))
-
Suddenly, and without warning, the SWAT teams opened fire on the Manchesters, the Zambian's power-armored thugs, and Al.
-
Clare pricked up her ears. "...I don't think your place is all too safe," she said to the Zambian, starting to inch away.
-
The second Al heard a gunshot, his left eye turned black as he dived behind his car for cover. "Shit."
-
Ray was seated in some far off park in the city, watching the clouds as they rolled by.
-
Acon strolled into the park, admiring the scenery before she accidentally tripped over her own shoe and fell face first into the raccoon in front of her.
-
(Say something~)
-
(She lives!)
-
(I do! ^~^)
-
Ray blinked as he was physically accosted by Acon, and tried to steady both her and himself. "Are you okay," asked the raccoon as he tried to stand up.
-
In order to stand, Acon grabbed Ray's hair and used it to pull herself upright. When she was finally back on her feet, she brushed off her fur and outfit. "Yeah, maybe watch where you're going next time, buddy." Acon huffed.
-
Ray winced as his hair was pulled. "Yeah, I'll make sure to stay out of your way when I'm sitting still." He sighed, and offered a paw. "I'm Ray."
-
Acon put on a sly grin and took Ray's paw into her own and gave it a firm shake. "Name's Aconitum, but my pals call me Acon. And~ I already know you. We haven't met before, but I know you already."
-
Ray blinked. "How do you already know me?" He thought a moment, and shook his head. "Nevermind, I've heard weirder."
-
Acon laughed loudly before she waved a paw in the air nonchalantly. "Yeah, it's a pretty weird story. Just think of me as your... Secret admirer."
-
"So you're like a low-key stalker? Never thought I was worth THAT much work." Ray chuckled.
-
Acon raised her eyebrows. "You don't think? I mean... You're a purple raccoon with quite the past. You also frequently get mixed up with big time crime lords."
-
Ray looked around suddenly, and hissed at Acon. "Shh. Don't talk about that."
-
Acon giggled, placing a paw over her mouth. "Oops, sorry. I forgot you're not exactly in their good graces."
-
Ray nodded. "Yeah..." He shook his head. "Anyway, who are you? Besides your name, I mean."
-
Acon shrugged. "Like I said before, I'm like your secret admirer. Only... It's kind of my job to admire you secretly, recording everything you do and say and use it to make a living."
-
Ray's brow furrowed in confusion. "Who do you work for?"
-
Acon put a paw up and shook her head. "Sorry, babe. Boss likes to kinda keep his identity secret. He told me to tell you to call him H though in the event that you catch me in the act or my big mouth gets me in trouble."
-
Ray nodded, sighing through his nose. "Sounds like I've gotten tied up with another mob boss, huh?"
-
Acon shrugged in a 'yeah, kinda' sort of way before she linked her arm with Ray's and began pulling him in the direction out of the park. "We probably shouldn't talk about this here."
-
Ray blinked, but didn't fight. It'd be easier if he didn't. "Where're we going?"
-
Acon looked at Ray with a kinda smile, patting his arm. "Just for a quiet walk. Now tell me, why do you always throw yourself to the wolves?"
-
Ray shrugged. "I don't know why. The last time I worked for a mob boss, he had my sister."
-
"Oh? Well, that sounds like it was quite the experience. I hope she's okay now." She said in some sort of tone that suggested fake concern.
-
Ray nodded. "She should be fine now, I haven't heard from her in a while, but I'm sure she's fine."
-
Acon nodded as well, accepting this answer. "What have you been doing since then?"
-
Ray shrugged. "Wandering the city, avoiding most people, watching the clouds. Y'know, stuff you do when you avoid the world."
-
Acon raised an eyebrow at Ray. "What are you avoiding the world for?"
-
Ray shrugged. "Because I want to take a break, y'know?"
-
Acon nodded in understand. "Yeah, I feel ya. You poor thing. Ya just wanna live peacefully."
-
The raccoon nodded. "Yeah, but I've got a feeling that your boss wants to solicit my services, as it were?" Ray turned to Acon, a questioning yet sad look on his face.
-
Acon offered Ray an apologetic look. "Afraid so. Not right away though."
-
Ray sighed. "Well, at least I get SOME kind of break."
-
((Yo, Ray, we gonna keep doing the Zambian stuff?)
-
(('Course! I was just waiting for Stowe to respond. Unless, of course, majority votes to skip through.))
-
Acon momentarily averted her gaze out onto the city streets before them as she thought. "In the mean time, what do you do for fun?"
-
Ray shrugged, as he too gazed out at the city. "I don't know. I wanted to relax, watch the clouds..."
-
(( I used to have a role in this... but I think I'm gonna restart my role as the younger version of Razuel (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19880754/)... While I go through the character creation, who would be up to look after a baby dragon (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19880754/)?))
-
(Never mind, Ray. I don't wanna rp with you anymore.)
-
((I've been meaning to introduce a character of my own. To that end, I wouldn't mind pairing baby Raz with Gaia.))
-
((Cool! Just an FYI, I'll probably be starting Raz out as he had just escaped a black market slave auction. So, chain/leather muzzle and leather mitts and wing binders... Y'know, all that stuff... He'll also be pretty beaten up too))
-
((Oh... Ok, I might have to alter how I introduce my character in that case.)
-
Name: Razuel
Age: 9
Height: 2ft shoulder to ground. 3 ft Head to Tail
Weight: 134lbs
Species: Western Feral Dragling
Clothing: A Leather muzzle, leather mitts, and leather wing bindings
Personality: Currently, Raz is scared and very skittish, but on an average to those he trusts, he's very sweet and kind, but will flinch at any gesture that could slightly resemble a hitting motion or a kicking one
Other(put stuff that can enhance the character or stuff): Scars run up and down his body, some have healed and been scaled over again, but most are still visible and scarred, or are fresh. He also has a botched sewing job on his right wing joint due to it having been ripped off and put back on when he misbehaved. The wing is moveable, but hasn't healed correctly as the sewing was terrible, it's no wonder that blood stains run down from that joint and down his side due to accidental tissue rips.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raz had been running for more than a few days, and by now, he had lost the men who had been chasing him, and as luck would be so unfortunate, in his running, he ripped the tissue on his wing joint, causing blood to trickle down his side, and it seems this has been happening for a while, but as he laid down to rest for a few moments, his adrenaline finally broke and he began to feel the effects of blood loss, making him feel woozy, but he still held on, and was desperate for someone to help, so he began making small but loud pained chirps, most of which were being muffled from the muzzle, but they were still audible, the high pitch of the chirps could catch the ear of some, but not all.
Raz laid under a broken soap box, his tail laying limp outside the side of the soap box.
-
Name: Gaia/Aiag
Age: 23
Height: 1.9m tall
Weight: 94kg (mostly muscle)
Species: Red (European) Fox/Demonic Red Fox
Clothing: See reference of Gaia
Personality: Calm, kind, sweet, flirtatious. Tries to come to logical conclusions and not let her anger get the better of her./Angry, rude, evil, hates everyone and everything. Anger can be directed towards specific people.
Other: If physically or emotionally pushed too far, Gaia's stripes and eyes turn bright red and she becomes Aiag (or Nega/Demon/Evil-Gaia). This demonic form causes her to attack anything that moves, friend or foe. However, this anger can be directed towards a specific group or person. Aiag comes with sharper teeth and claws, as well as a higher pain-tolerance. If defeated in battle or calmed down, Aiag will return to being Gaia and her stripes and eyes will return to being green. Gaia is also naturally gifted at singing to an extreme extent. So much so that she can cast spells by singing certain tunes. See 'Gaia's Song List' for reference of such spells.
---------
Gaia was walking through Ascension City, calmly minding her own business. She had only recently moved her on her journey around the world. As she walked, the fox heard Raz's high pitched chrips. After realising it wasn't just a one off sound, she followed it to the soap box. Noticing the tail she knelt down beside the box. "Huh...?"
-
Raz paused his chirps for a moment, trying to shift his tail slightly before he made a whining chirp, and as he did, a bit of the blood began to trickle out, pooling outside the box amongst the dirt on the ground.
-
Something's alive under there. Gaia made some tapping noises on the ground to test whether Raz was jumpy or not. She wasn't going to move him if he didn't want to be moved.
-
Raz made a small jerking motion as the tapping made a dense noise on the box, but didn't move much, but as the tapping stopped, he made a questioning whine before a clicking noise was heard. It was his wing joint, the thing had popped out in the slight jerking motion he made, and as it popped, Raz let out a loud whine in pain, it winding down to a constant wavering whimper.
-
Gaia gasped and went to remove the box, but thought to take it slowly. She slowly removed the box, her experession saddening somewhat at the sight of Raz and his disconnected and bloody wing. "Aww... You poor thing..."
-
Raz flinched when the box began to move, but ad the box came off him, he'd look up at Gaia with eyed filled with hurt and sadness. Raz's raised head began to sway, and then with an irregular set of blinks, Raz passed out and his head began to fall down.
-
"Damn it... Was hoping NOT to get involved with things here..." Gaia took off her leather jacket and began making a makeshift blanket for Raz. She wasn't too keen on getting it dirtied with blood, but figured it would make it look cooler later down the road. She carefully wrapped the dragling in the jacket along with his wing in the jacket and picked him up. "I've got to get him to a vet."
-
Raz groaned as he was picked up, making a whine as the leather brushed his wounds, and his still attached but dislocated wing, the sudden move causing bones to grin against each other.
-
"Hang tight buddy. It's going to hurt a little longer, but I swear I'll get you patched up." Gaia looked around for the nearest vet. There wasn't any to be seen, meaning she would have to take Raz back to her hotel room. She held him firmly, keeping Raz snug in her jacket, but running to her apartment.
-
As Gaia ran, Raz's dislocated bone ground against the bone meant for the wing joint, causing him to wake up and let out a pained roar, it being high pitched, but he was still very much in pain, and as he continued to bounce and scream in pain, he tried to hug Gaia's arm, hugging tightly onto her arm, but to Gaia, it would seem as if someone placed a hand on her arm, and that was due to how weak Raz had become.
-
Not to far from Gia and Raz, a large ball was underway.
It was the Manchesters yearly ball. Members of the Manchester blood line and soldiers of the Manchesters all gathered and danced and sing traditional British songs. (Very similar to this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-0Y6h52TNc)) Bailey sat in the ball, he was in an elegant black suit with a red bow tie.
Soldiers in red uniforms (http://www.replicaters.com/victorian/zulu7%20(5).jpg) marched into the ball, bagpipes followed them while playing, Bailey stood up and saluted. The rest of the attendees stood up as well. A large raccoon marched in front of all the soldiers his uniform was black (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b6/Inspection-New-Colours.JPG) instead of the normal red. After they all entered the ball room they stood at attention.
Bailey stood up and began to speak, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's been an excellent year for the Manchesters! Let next year be just as great as this year!" The whole ball room cheered, the bagpipes began to play again.
Bailey sat back down and mumbled, "Now when will the rest of them come.."
-
"Stay strong dragling. Not much further now..." Gaia conpletely ignored what was - to her at least - a cacophony of annoying sounds being generated by the ball, focusing solely on the dragling she was attempting to rescue.
-
Raz began to cry from the pain, his cries being muffled by his muzzle, it restricting most of his jaw movement, and limiting his breathing. Raz's cries were very breathed, and although it couldn't be seen clearly that he was crying, a liquid began secreting from his eyes, giving the illusion of tears.
-
Zaida arrived at the ball not too long ago, she wasn't one for being late. She wore a dress to the ball, as much as she hated it but it was a formal event and she didn't want to seem disrespectful or awkwardly stand out from the rest. Luckily she had brought some extra clothes with her to change into just in case.
-
*Red was laying on his sofa hearing the distant sound of traffic while the cold fall weather caused some condensation to form on the window*
-
Bailey stood up once he saw Zaida and smiled, "Ah I thought you weren't going to show up." He said while laughing, "Ehm... I never knew you where one for dresses."
-
*Red held his head before sitting up and sighing*"This is getting old, the loneliness... I'm being reduced to talking to myself like a psychopath"*He looked at the coffee table, there was various newspapers, books and DVD Cases on it*"I've read and watched everything I have... And yet nothing has effected me yet... I want to think of it as a blessing, Not dealing with the Violence and Crimes of the Time I worked for... Well, Him"*He got up and went into the kitchen*"But now I've faded into obscurity"
-
"I'm not, Never was." The monstress crossed her arms with a small huff. "It would be uncomfortable and disrespectful to show up in casual clothes to the ball."
-
*Red sighed and looked at his gun*"No."*He looked at the T.V*"... Why not..."*He sat back down on the sofa*
-
"I'm not, Never was." The monstress crossed her arms with a small huff. "It would be uncomfortable and disrespectful to show up in casual clothes to the ball."
Bailey nodded, "That's what I thought." He sat down again and sighed, "The party is going to be a few hours long... We do this every year. Just a little recap on the things we've done." He scanned the room again, "It's fun, I think you'll enjoy it."
-
"Alright, alright, we're here." Gaia stopped running and adjusted Raz's blanket so that he would sit a little more comfortably in her arms. "Just got to get to my room..." She walked into the lobby and over to the elevator, pressing the button to go up.
-
She uncrossed her arms and sat down as well "Mm, I'm not a big fan of parties." Zaida simply said while looking around.
-
Bailey replied, "I'm not either. The only reason I'm here is because I'm the head of the Manchester Crime Syndicate. I'm the lowest one here." He began to drink from his glass that was next to him, "How's life been ever since you moved to Acension?"
-
Zaida gave a soft relaxed sigh "looking for a decent house I can afford, I've been staying at a shitty apartment in west ascension... other than that life has been boring, nothing really exciting." She shrugged lightly.
-
Raz continued to cry, his short chirps drawing attention to Gaia as she rushed through to the elevator, and as Gaia would find out halfway up the elevator, the blood had started to pool, and was now dripping from the blanket it very very tiny drops.
-
Bailey kept a straight face but he kept scanning the room, "You could always join a life of crime and help us out." He turned his head towards Zaida and gave a sinister smile, "We always need more people to do more dirty work."
-
Zaida looked down and shook her head lightly "I..." she sighed. "I don't know..." The monstress thought for a moment. "What exactly do you guys do anyways, sell weapons?"
-
He leaned back into his chair and huffed, "Sell weapons, kill people. You know the normal crime stuff..."
-
"Any reason behind the killings?" She asked curious. Zaida crossed one leg over the other, grabbing a glass and taking a drink.
-
"They're not civilians we kill. Sometimes maybe. But we go for prime targets. Gangs, Mafia's and other mercenary groups." He sighed, "We just do what we have to do."
-
"At least it's reasonable..." She murmured looking into the liquid at her reflection. "Hmp, don't know why I'm asking all these questions when I've already made my decision. I don't really have a choice anyways." The monstress looked up at the vulture, her eyes meeting his. "I'll join."
-
Bailey smiled, "Good." He then pulled a notepad out, "I'm going to give you your first mission." He then began to read the notepad, "The target was last spotted at a warehouse. He attacked our men during a party hosted by a Mob Boss... One survivor said he was a wolf. Had a missing eye that was replaced with a cybernetic one. That's all we got from him." He shut the notepad and sighed, "His name starts with A from what he told us.[size=78%]"[/size]
-
Gaia noticed the blood dripping and made an effort to make it fall onto herself, cursing under her breath. "Why me...?" The elevator opened and she entered pressing the button for her floor. Afterwards she placed a paw onto Raz's head and rocked the blanket slightly in an attempt to calm him. That was as close to child care as her knowledge allowed her to do.
-
Raz did eventually calm down, but would make a pained whine whenever one of his wounds were touched, but Raz's crying had reduced to small occasional whimpers.
-
((Things are getting interesting it seems >:3 ))
The doors to the elevator opened and Gaia quickly moved the short distance to her room, opening the door and taking Raz to the bathroom. She gently placed the dragling into her bath. "Ok... First things first, we've got to get you washed. Then it's feeding time. And then it's comfy time until I can find you a vet."
-
Raz looked down at the water and shook his head, pushing onto Gaia and holding onto her, and ad he still descended and went into the water, he let out a pained cry... but it ended in relief as his damaged flesh pulsed in the water from irritation, but as Raz sat, his flesh got used to the water which calmed him back down to soft whimpers.
As Raz was submerged for a moment in the water, Gaia would see a mass of dirt flow off of Raz's body, making the water cloudy and dirty.
-
"Jeez... You got dirty buddy." Gaia smiled softly and scratched under Raz's chin. She let some of the water out, refilling the bath at the same time, replacing the dirty water until Raz was clean. The fox kept the water at a relaxing warm temperature.
-
The Zambian waited as the rifle fire died down, and called the police. After a few minutes, the Zambian nodded, and looked at Clare. "Well, that's settled. Our 'friends' outside are either dead, arrested, or headed home. You and Al are free to leave now. Unless you wish to continue employment under my organization?"
-
Raz made a happy noise, much like a purr, as Gaia scratched his chin, and he let out a soft sigh as the water splashed and moved around him.
((Just an FYI, he still has his muzzle, mitts, and wing binds on.))
-
Gaia chuckled as she moved to undo Raz's various binds, starting with the wing binds. "What cruel bastard would do such things to a cutie like you?" She muttered. She kept a paw scratching under his chin as she slowly undid his restraints.
-
Raz tried to flex his wings, but only one moved as the other just fell to the water and bobbed with the water, and as the water shifted and slammed into his body, Raz let out a cry and the bone joint for the wing could be seen moving as a bulge against his flesh.
Under the places where the muzzle, mitts, and binds, scales had flaked off and bare flesh were there in patches surrounding, some having been rubbed raw from the constant wearing of the leather rubbing against the scales. As Gaia would continue, she would notice a branding on Raz's left hip of a local crime ring, and seemingly, it looked fresh as the area had been scabbed over, but it was still fresh... and it looked a bit infected.
-
"Oh dear..." Gaia was a little bit angered by the sight of all the scratches and raw flesh, as well as the branding. She bit her lower teeth, eyeing the infected portion of his branding. "Looks like I'm gonna have to use my spells." The fox slowly drained the water from the bath, bringing a towel to Raz and gently picking him up. Now that she could see where all the damage was, she made sure not to put pressure on the parts that would be painful to touch.
-
Raz resisted the urge to shake the water off. As Raz was picked up, he made his way to Gaia's arm and hugged it, giving a yawn as his tail wrapped along her other arm.
-
Gaia moved Raz over to her bed and gently dried him off. The fox rested him on her lap and sung her song of healing (See 'Gaia's Song List' for reference about it's affects.) Her melodic voice filled the room with a soothing tune, and she gently rubbed Raz's head.
-
Bailey smiled, "Good." He then pulled a notepad out, "I'm going to give you your first mission." He then began to read the notepad, "The target was last spotted at a warehouse. He attacked our men during a party hosted by a Mob Boss... One survivor said he was a wolf. Had a missing eye that was replaced with a cybernetic one. That's all we got from him." He shut the notepad and sighed, "His name starts with A from what he told us.
Zaida raised a brow looking at the culture read off the notepad. "A mission for me, Already?" She asked a bit surprised.
-
Bailey shifted in his seat, "Well yes. If you're going to join us I might as well give you a mission to see how good you are." He handed her the notebook, "Just for reference. If you need it."
-
"Seems reasonable." She took the notebook from his claw. "... it'll help." Her eyes scanned over the written notes about the unknown anthro.
-
"Whoever he is. He's tough and won't go down without a fight." he snickered, "I think he may still be at that warehouse."
-
Once the shooting died down, Al peeked his head out. Hearing the police sirens approaching his ears shot up and he bolted for the inside of the warehouse. He knew perfectly well that he was a wanted man, and didn't want to attract too much police attention.
-
"I'm sure anyone wouldn't go done without a fight." She went silent while reading over the notes in her head. "Cyber eye huh? ...Now I doubt that's the only robotic thing, it's probably why he had some sort of advantage." She murmured while lightly biting her index claw.
-
Bailey leaned in, "He killed my men, six of them to be precise. I'll send you to find him with a few of my best men after the party."
-
Gaia moved Raz over to her bed and gently dried him off. The fox rested him on her lap and sung her song of healing (See 'Gaia's Song List' for reference about it's affects.) Her melodic voice filled the room with a soothing tune, and she gently rubbed Raz's head.
Raz gave a yawn and slowly curled up on Gaia's lap, and he let out a happy sigh as she sang to him, finding her voice beautiful, and although his bones and such were healing, his right wing was still dislocated, yes, the bones that had scraped together were fixed, but the fact of the dislocation was something that had to be done manually. Raz soon fell asleep, pressing his head into Gaia's belly as he slept.
-
Gaia smiled and slowly moved Raz onto the bed. Now I've got to figure out what I'd even do with a pet dragon. I guess I need to find some suitable food first. Does it eat it's meat raw or cooked? The fox looked towards the kitchen, raising an eyebrow as she did.
-
"Darkness envelops me... and I'm sure you know that. There's a chance those men won't come back alive and not because of this cyborg. You can send your men but don't send your best... just in case." She leaned in and spoke honestly. "I've been doing better about controlling myself, but I want to be safe I don't want to **censor** up on my first mission." Zaida sighed leaning back against her seat and crossed her legs, before taking another drink from her glass.
-
Bailey smiles, "We'll in that case I won't send in any with you." He takes a drink from his glass as well, "Righto. If you want you can bugger off and do the mission or sit down and be the kind hearted person you are and chat with me."
-
Zaida took a breath "I'm in no rush to do the mission. Besides it'll be rude to leave so suddenly, I can chat." She set the now empty glass back down.
-
Bailey stood up and took her glass, "Soon we'll be starting a traditional military drill then the ball will be done. Don't worry you missed the dance, I know how much you hate dancing." He laughed and proceeded to fill her glass up again.
He returned and handed her the now full glass, "Why did you move to this place?"
-
The Zambian chuckled, as Al ducked into the ware house, and strode over to him. "Something not sit right between you and the police, friend?"
-
Al looked over at The Zambian. "I've killed too many people to 'sit right with the police'." He checked his weapons. "I appreciate the assistance, but I need out of this place." The wolf looked over to Clare. "You coming with?"
-
Gaia smiled and slowly moved Raz onto the bed. Now I've got to figure out what I'd even do with a pet dragon. I guess I need to find some suitable food first. Does it eat it's meat raw or cooked? The fox looked towards the kitchen, raising an eyebrow as she did.
Raz woke up as Gaia made a movement to push him off, so in an instant, he turned around and wrapped his tail around her waist, and put his forelegs around her.
-
The Zambian shrugged. "Alright. Don't go getting yourself killed, I don't wanna lose someone with a power such as yours." He patted Al's cheek to punctuate his last statement. "Keep safe, young Al, and keep me in your thoughts. You ever need work or whatever, let me know." The Zambian then started towards his office, whistling quietly.
-
Al cocked an eyebrow at The Zambian, a little weirded out. What even is this guy...? The wolf shook his head a little before responding, "Sure... I guess..."
Gaia looked down at Raz. "Calm down, I'm not leaving. Just wondering what food I need to give you." The fox picked Raz up and held him like a baby.
-
Raz hugged Gaia as she held him, nuzzling her arm as he laid on his back. His dislocated wing hung through Gaia's arms, being held in place by her arms. Raz looked up at Gaia and gave another yawn, muttering 'mommy~' in his native tounge as he fell asleep again.
-
Bailey stood up and took her glass, "Soon we'll be starting a traditional military drill then the ball will be done. Don't worry you missed the dance, I know how much you hate dancing." He laughed and proceeded to fill her glass up again.
He returned and handed her the now full glass, "Why did you move to this place?"
"Hate and don't know how." she added about the dance. "Well I moved here because I wanted to start over, I guess. Plus I lived in ascension when I was a very young pup which you already know." Zaida grabbed the glass and took a sip. "Thank you."
-
Clare nodded, padding over. He seems pretty odd to me, she thought to Al. "Right behind you," she said.
-
"Hate and don't know how." she added about the dance. "Well I moved here because I wanted to start over, I guess. Plus I lived in ascension when I was a very young pup which you already know." Zaida grabbed the glass and took a sip. "Thank you."
Bailey watched over the attendees of the ball, he looked over at Zaida again, "Well welcome back to the worst city in the world..." He took a drink from his glass, "Wise I could go back to England... Had to return because my mum was sick, that was ten years ago. Now I'm all in a mess with these people"
-
Gaia couldn't help but smile at Raz. He was fairly cute for a dragon. Still, she hadn't a clue as to what to feed him. So, she carried him over to the fridge, opening it to see what she had. Unfortunately, it wasn't anything she'd like to give to a dragling.
-
"So, we've got the coos on us, those manchesters, a mob and... this guy. Tonight just keeps getting better and better." Al began moving towards the rear exit, trying to escape the police.
-
Clare nodded, walking after Al. As she walked, she drew a pistol from somewhere and cocked it. "Want me to cover you, or shall we run?" she asked.
-
"Running is the better option. Killing the cops will only attract more of them." Al opened the door to the rear exit, letting Clare go first.
-
As Gaia walked with Raz in her arms, the bit of wing that wasn't pinched and held in place swung and caused minor discomfort for Raz, causing him to stir in his sleep.
-
As Raz stirred in his sleep, it occured to Gaia that one of the wings still seemed out of place. She carefully moved him over to the bed and set him down, rubbing his head gently in an attempt to wake him up.
-
Raz slowly awoke with a groan, still feeling the slight pain from the wing, but as he gave a yawn, looking up at Gaia, making a questioning sound.
-
"Look, that wing is going to give you a lot of trouble if I don't snap it back into place. It's going to hurt a bit, but you'll just have to trust me." Gaia began studying the area, trying to put some picture of a skeleton into her head. This wasn't her area of expertise, however.
-
Raz listened and looked to his wing, laying limp on the bed, and then back to Gaia, making a scared whine, not wanting to feel anymore pain, but he shakily nodded and rolled onto his belly, grunting as the wing dragged, yelping as it flexed over his back, falling down onto the bed, and as the pain became bearable after a few moments, Raz laid down in the style of a sphinx, allowing Gaia to get a better look at his wing.
-
"Well sounds like you've been pretty busy then." Zaida said taking another sip before setting the glass down.
Devin sat across the table in an office. Across him was a tan Great Dane with a black muzzle with a bit of grey furs showing he was a bit old. He was tall and skinny but still fit, he had a kind face. He folded his paws and gave a small nod. "I see, well I'm patient you know that. However he's getting supplied more and his defenses are up which is going to make the next attempt a bit challenging."
"Yes sir, I'm aware of that." He said. "I don't mind a challenge."
The Great Dane huffed. "We all like a challenge here and there, but don't push it." He warned.
-
"Well sounds like you've been pretty busy then." Zaida said taking another sip before setting the glass down.
"Indeed I have been." Bailey replied, he sat in silence for a few seconds then stood up, "I think I'll skip the drill, if you want you can leave as well. No one knows who you are here so I think they wouldn't mind if we left."
-
After inspecting the area for a few minutes, Gaia sort of had an idea of where the bone was supposed to be, using the other wing as a comparison. "Alright... Here goes nothing..." Gaia placed her paws firmly around the area and jerked the bone back into place. She winced slightly as she did it, knowing that it was going to hurt Raz a lot.
-
Raz winced as his wing was gripped and let out a roar in pain, tears falling from his eyes, as she jerked his wing, his claws digging down into the blanket and mattress, leaving small holes in both, but through the pain and screams, Raz's wing popped back in and he laid on the bed, crying from the pain that had been left with him, his claws having loosened their grip into the bed. Besides the crying and heavy breathing, Raz didn't make any noises besides those.
-
Gaia felt a bit bad, but put it aside knowing that it would give him long term relief. "Hey hey hey, it's done now. It's over. Your wing might ache a little now but soon it won't hurt at all." The fox lay down beside Raz, petting his head softly.
-
Raz gave a few more whines before Gaia laid down beside him, and after a few pets, he turned to her and quickly grabbed onto her, crying into her chest, wrapping his tail around her as a comfort sort of thing.
-
Gaia rubbed the draglings head and back trying to comfort him. "There there..."
-
Raz slowly calmed down, continuing to hug her, not wanting to let go just yet... but his grip loosened as his belly rumbled due to hunger, it being strong enough to reverberate onto Gaia, and as it did, he looked up to her and tried to say 'hungry' in english, but only was able to make a couple squeaks in the pitches of saying hungry.
-
Gaia thought for a second. "Well... I guess we better go shopping then." Gaia sat up. "Just wait here. I need to get changed." The fox got up and went to her travel bags
-
(For now, I'm doing a timeskip with Zanthe so that she can be at the meeting, if that's okay. If not, I'll edit this and delete her bit.)
Clare put the pistol away, then slowly peeked her head out. "Looks like we're clear for now," she murmured, offering Al a hand. "Let's move... How are your wounds?"
A light knock came at the door.
-
Al moved outside the building. "My wounds are fine. They patched them up quickly. I probably wouldn't want to over exert myself although." The wolf looked to the fence at the back of the compound and sighed. "But that doesn't seem like much of an option at this rate. Who knows who could be after me." Al took a few steps back to get a running start and then charged towards the fence, leaping up and grabbing the top.
-
Raz didn't want to wait as he went to hop off the bed to follow her, managing to get to the bed edge before looking down and getting scared and then making a whine as he looked at Gaia as she was leaving the room.
-
"Well sounds like you've been pretty busy then." Zaida said taking another sip before setting the glass down.
"Indeed I have been." Bailey replied, he sat in silence for a few seconds then stood up, "I think I'll skip the drill, if you want you can leave as well. No one knows who you are here so I think they wouldn't mind if we left."
Zaida looked about before looking up at bailey. "If you say so, sure." She said standing up finishing the last of her drink.
-
Bailey as he walked out said goodbye to everyone, he took awhile. But, after a few short moments he left the building, "If you want Z, I'll take you to your place so you can get ready for your next big mission, or I'll follow you since you probably drove here."
-
"I drove there, so I think that would be better if I drove." She said before pulling out her car keys. She clicked unlock bottom twice allowing the 1960 SS Camaro to click in response that it had been unlocked. The monstress sat in the drivers side, the car turned on once she put her keys in.
-
Bailey got into the passenger seat, "I don't have a car. One of the pipers drove me here."
-
(For now, I'm doing a timeskip with Zanthe so that she can be at the meeting, if that's okay. If not, I'll edit this and delete her bit.)
Clare put the pistol away, then slowly peeked her head out. "Looks like we're clear for now," she murmured, offering Al a hand. "Let's move... How are your wounds?"
A light knock came at the door.
(Zaida, the knock was Zanthe.)
Clare ran forward and took a huge leap, front-flipping over the fence. "Hurry up," she murmured to Al. "They'll be coming."
-
(Oops alright.)
"I'll get it done in no time, I'll probably need to borrow more heavy duty material if I'm going to rush it he next time." Devin looked over at the door his ears perked up.
The Great Dane folded his paws. "Come in."
-
"Remember, you're going to have to be very careful. Who ever this man is he's very dangerous." Bailey said.
-
"Very careful... or what? I'll get hurt possibly die? who cares. Besides I'm usually careful with things anyways" She said coldly while driving to her apartment. "...You act like he's invincible" Zaida scoffed as she pulled up into the parking lot.
-
Bailey shrugged. "Alright." He got out of the car and pulled out a small GPS, "Just getting the coordinates of the warehouse he is located in." He pulled a small notebook out and began writing in it.
-
"Well that's good and all but I'm not going there in a dress." She simply said while walking up the stairs to her apartment room. "I have to change first."
-
"I know that. I'll be waiting out here until you're done." He said while writing in his notebook mumbling to himself.
-
Al scoffed as he pulled himself over to the other side. Looking up and down the street that presented itself to them, he got an idea of where they were in regards to his safe house. "Alright. We,re about 3 blocks away from the nearest safe-spot." Al looked both ways before crossing the street.
Gaia picked up her clothes and turned to Raz. "Oh, hush. You're going to have to start being more independamt eventually." She pat Raz's head before walking into the bathroom to get changed.
-
Raz tried to grab her hand as she moved it away, almost falling off before he used his wings to balance himself in the bed, afterwards, he moved a bit back from the edge of the bed and sat down, making small whines as he was told to stay, as he didn't want to be alone again... he's been alone for so long, it's just a feeling he really hates.
-
It didn't take Gaia long to be prepared. When she walked out, she looked a little different from when she walked in. For one, she was wearing blue denim jeans, a leather jacket with a black T-shirt and some black finger-less gloves. For two, her hair was tied back in a short pony-tail. "Alright, I'm done." She walked over to the bed and grabbed her hand-bag before putting an arm out for Raz to climb onto.
-
Raz seemed wary of Gaia as he didn't recognize her, but as she reached her arm out, he smelt her smell and could tell it was her. Raz then started to climb onto her arm, making it up to her shoulders and resting across her shoulders
-
(Oops alright.)
"I'll get it done in no time, I'll probably need to borrow more heavy duty material if I'm going to rush it he next time." Devin looked over at the door his ears perked up.
The Great Dane folded his paws. "Come in."
Clare did the same, but continued to keep watch as she followed Al, making sure that nobody was trying to tail them... or seeing if anyone was.
After a few seconds and a click of the doorknob, Zanthe padded into the office, looking a bit roughed up but otherwise sound. She was dressed the same way she had been before, but the lower half of her shirt was torn off and wrapped around her upper left arm, and she had pulled on a sleeveless black buttondown shirt, which she wore open. She nodded once at Devin, flicking a now pierced ear before bowing softly to the Great Dane. "Greetings," she murmured, her expressionless gaze meeting the Great Dane's eyes.
-
Devin stood up and gestured to the catfox "Mr.Hendrick this is Zanthe." He said before pulling out a chair for her to sit.
The Great Dane gave a nod. He stood and leaned over his desk, extending his arm out to shake. "It's nice to finally meet you Zanthe."
-
Once Raz was on her shoulders, Gaia picked up her handbag and exited her room, the door locking behind her. "Alright. I'm thinking a baby dragon like yourself would need some protein to grow big and strong."
Once they reached the opposite end of the street, Al turned back to the warehouse. For now, it seemed like they were in the clear. "So... how's loverboy?" The wolf asked as he began walking down the street.
-
Raz looked at Gaia and tilted his head in confusion, but nodded when he heard something that used to be familiar, 'to grow big and strong', and at that, his belly rumbled in hunger. Raz curled his tail around Gaia's armpit to balance himself on her as they walked.
-
"Don't you worry. I've got a few ideas as to what I can feed you." While Gaia assumed that Raz ate meat, she wasn't sure what kind. She thought it would be best to start with dried meat, just in case he couldn't eat raw. So, it was off to the nearest grocery store.
-
Raz looked around at people as they stared at him, making him feel awkward as they walked along, so he tried to make himself seem small.
-
((Just asking, but is there a limit as to what I can feed him?))
Gaia wasn't bothered by all the people staring at Raz, until she noticed it was bothering him. "Hey, don't be scared. They won't try anything. Or at least, if they do, I'll make sure they regret it." The fox smiled, completely unaware at how motherly she probably seemed right now.
-
(( He can eat raw meat, but you'll get a happier reaction from him if you feed him cooked))
Raz was still shy, but felt a tad better when Gaia assured him. Her motherly affection made him mutter "Mommy~", it sounding like "Tatu~" to Gaia, as he did speak in his native tongue. Curled tighter around her, nuzzling the side of her head in affection.
-
Devin stood up and gestured to the catfox "Mr.Hendrick this is Zanthe." He said before pulling out a chair for her to sit.
The Great Dane gave a nod. He stood and leaned over his desk, extending his arm out to shake. "It's nice to finally meet you Zanthe."
Clare turned her head towards Al, her body slightly tense. However, it was clear she was more worried about her surroundings, and in fact, the question had helped her to relax a bit. "...You sure you're feeling alright?" she asked softly, a grin coming to her face. "You never ask about him."
Zanthe grasped Hendrick's hand, giving him a firm handshake. "Likewise," she said, maintaining her neutral expression as she took a seat. "I suppose Devin's already told you about me, then... By the way, I'm sorry if I interfered with any of your plans. If I'd known you existed earlier, perhaps we could've cooperated sooner." The catfox sat up a bit, folding her hands in her lap. She might've been dressed somewhat casually, but her posture was all business.

She might've been dressed somewhat casually, but her posture was all business.
"Yes he has, many times." He glanced over at Devin before taking a seat. "Oh no need to apologize, We are dearly sorry for targeting you. As you interfered we assumed you were for the mob and Devin went after you, I hope the wound has healed well." He said with a kind tone. "Although this mission must hurry and being stealthy won't be an option next time. I don't know if Devin has told you yet however Mr.Biggs 'Boss' is planning to run for mayor... of course it'll be rigged, and if he's the mayor that means ascensions crime rates will rise drastically.."
Zaida came out of the apartment dressed in dark jeans, boots, a tank top, and leather jacket. The monstress armed with nothing more than a combat knife. "Alright so where to?" She asked the vulture.
-
Al cocked an eyebrow as he removed his mask and tied it around his neck. "Well, I thought it would relieve a bit of tension if we made some idle chat." The wolf continued to check his surroundings, making sure he knew where he was.
Gaia continued to smile, enjoying Raz's company. It wasn't long before they reached a grocery shop, and she entered upon arrival. "Alright... Where is the jerky...?" She looked around the decently sized shop, looking for the isle that stocked it.
-
Clare tugged her mask down a bit as well, but still kept it over her face partially. "Well, he's doing alright so far," she said. "We, um... We still haven't... you know." She raised her eyebrows a few times suggestively. "But we've made out in our underwear and watched films together and... uh... snuggled, to name a few things," she replied. "He's got a few health issues right now, so he's off getting help with that a lot, but he sure knows how to care about someone..." The wolf looked over at Al. "Did I ever tell you how we met?"
Zanthe raised an eyebrow at the Great Dane, thinking over his words. "So he needs to be taken out, then," she replied. "Am I right on that? Also, to answer your question about my wound..." The catfox leaned back and parted her belly fur until the scar from the recent stab wound was showing. "...This is all that's left of it."
-
Al shook his head. "I don't remember you ever mentioning it." The wolf kept his head straight, but was thinking aloof behind the scene. Care... Can't remember the last time I did that.
-
Gaia continued to smile, enjoying Raz's company. It wasn't long before they reached a grocery shop, and she entered upon arrival. "Alright... Where is the jerky...?" She looked around the decently sized shop, looking for the isle that stocked it.
Raz looked around while he laid on Gaia's shoulders, inhaling the multiple smells, making his belly rumble again
-
Gaia walked down into the isle with the jersey in it and held a small packet of plain beef jerky towards Raz's nose. "This?"
-
Raz leaned forward to smell the jerky and his belly rumbled against her neck, even if before she couldn't hear his rumbling belly.
Raz tried to reach forward and take the jerky, clearly very hungry... given, he's had no food for almost 3 complete days... so he's really damn hungry...
-
Bailey looked at Zaida then the knife than back to Zaida, "Ehm. Well, just up north. Once we get into the car I'll show you the coordinates." He got into the car and waited.
-
Gaia pulled it away. "Not yet. I've got to pay for it first. Seeing as how you've taken an interest in this, it'll be your food for the day." Gaia picked out a few large packs of jerky and proceeded to the checkout, the guy at the till raising his eyebrow at Raz.
-
Raz seemed disappointed when Gaia stopped him, but he still tried to get the bags as they walked, managing to get one, holding it in his maw and looking at the guy at the till with the bag in his mouth.
-
Gaia sighed. "Must really be hungry." She looked over at the guy at the till, saying "Just add an extra one, thanks. It's all I'm buying today."
"Neat pet you got there." The man said, as he scanned and loaded the other bags of jerky into a bigger plastic one. "That'll be $15.25"
Gaia showed her card and the man took it, swiping it for her before returning it. "Savings?"
"Yes thanks."
-
Raz managed to get the bag in his maw open, and then immediately starting to eat the contents. His eating was sloppy, pieces falling out of the bag and such.
-
Al shook his head. "I don't remember you ever mentioning it." The wolf kept his head straight, but was thinking aloof behind the scene. Care... Can't remember the last time I did that.
Clare nodded briefly, glancing around. "Well... It's a long story, so if you've got anything else to say, say it now," she said, glancing over at Al. Has he ever loved anyone before...? she thought to herself.
A grey cat in a baggy sweatshirt and jeans, who had just finished checking out in a different lane, stopped to look at Raz for a moment. Her blue gaze was somewhat unreadable, but a grin showed that she at least found some amusement in the situation. (Character sheet will come in time....)
-
Gaia input her pin and skipped asking for a receipt. When she noticed the messy eating style Raz had chosen to adopt she got a slight bit annoyed. "Hey! If you're going to be impatient, at least eat the jerky properly." She made sure to keep the other bags well away from Raz's reach. After putting her card back into her purse, she noticed the grey cat. "Sorry about the mess... poor thing has been starved."
Nothing came to Al's mind. Or more, nothing he wanted Clare knowing. "You may continue."
((But before you do Cif, we should probably talk about that))
-
Raz didn't pay any attention to Gaia's remark, but stopped and met the grey cat's gaze, and he stopped eating, getting scared as he tried to hide behind Gaia, dropping the bag from where he was. The bag falling either into the bag or other jerkys, or onto the floor, Raz didn't see.
-
The cat raised her head slightly, regarding Gaia with a blue gaze. "Oh, it's fine by me," she said. "I don't work here." She let out a soft chuckle.
(Okay.)
-
Gaia bent down to pick up the now empty bag of jerky from which Raz ate, bending her knees instead of her back so that Raz wouldn't fall off. As she stood up straight again, she met the cats gaze with her own green eyes. "I'm just glad he didn't get any on you."
-
Raz continued to hide behind Gaia's head, peeking beside it to watch the cat.
-
Zanthe raised an eyebrow at the Great Dane, thinking over his words. "So he needs to be taken out, then," she replied. "Am I right on that? Also, to answer your question about my wound..." The catfox leaned back and parted her belly fur until the scar from the recent stab wound was showing. "...This is all that's left of it."
"Mhm, we can't risk keeping him alive. I'm sure he'll get out of jail easily. He must be assassinated before he tries to run for mayor." He said before raising a brow to the wound. "Well it's healed well." Mr.Hendrick nodded.
Zaida hopped in the car turning it on. "Alright" she pulled out of the driveway then onto the street. The apartment fading away as she drove off.

Zanthe smoothed her fur out and folded her hands in her lap. "It was treated well," she replied, returning the nod. "So... what's the plan and why do you need me?"
-
((Cif, can I has response pls?))
-
Gaia bent down to pick up the now empty bag of jerky from which Raz ate, bending her knees instead of her back so that Raz wouldn't fall off. As she stood up straight again, she met the cats gaze with her own green eyes. "I'm just glad he didn't get any on you."
(@-@ I need to spend less time on the internet.)
The cat shrugged. "Eh, it's not like these clothes aren't washable or anything," she said, picking lightly at the sleeve of her sweatshirt. She looked back at Gaia, smiling. "I have to say though, yours are pretty sweet."
-
Gaia smiled back at the cat. "Thanks." Gaia extended a paw towards the cat. "Nice meeting you. My name is Gaia."
-
Raz kept peering around Gaia's head to look at the cat, that is until he got hungry again and looked down at the bag with the jerky in it, and as he thought Gaia to be distracted, he tried to be stealthy and fall into the bag, to which he made a movement to, starting to fall off Gaia towards the bag.
-
Gaia input her pin and skipped asking for a receipt. When she noticed the messy eating style Raz had chosen to adopt she got a slight bit annoyed. "Hey! If you're going to be impatient, at least eat the jerky properly." She made sure to keep the other bags well away from Raz's reach. After putting her card back into her purse, she noticed the grey cat. "Sorry about the mess... poor thing has been starved."
Nothing came to Al's mind. Or more, nothing he wanted Clare knowing. "You may continue."
((But before you do Cif, we should probably talk about that))
The cat clasped the paw in a firm but gentle way, shaking it softly. "Windtail," she replied, grinning widely. "Er... Sybil Windtail." The cat's cheeks shaded slightly as she rubbed the back of her head with her other hand. "It was nice to meet you too... Oh!" The cat reached over and gently kept Raz from falling off. "...Quite the rascal, isn't he?"
Clare looked around once more, then took a step closer to Al. "We did not start out as... lovers, per se," she began, keeping her voice low. "It was back in our college days. I was taking a degree in art, while he was taking two different degrees, one of which was medicine. Anyway, there wasn't much room at the college that year, so we ended up as flatmates, much to each other's surprise." She flashed Al a rather sheepish smile. "Back then, I was kind of a goth, so... I didn't make any attempts to get to know people. It sure was surprising to find out that my flatmate was male, though..." She shook her head. "Sorry, I got a bit off topic there."
-
Al stopped, but not because he suspected someone was following them, or because he thought there might be danger in the immediate area. The wolf turn his head with raised eyebrows, "You were a goth?" He didn't mind Clare rambling on, but didn't think to make note of that.
Gaia frowned a little bit and sighed. "It can't be helped. He hasn't eaten in a few days. I'm kind of just waiting for us to leave the store at least so I can feed him properly. Thanks for catching him." Gaia moved an arm to nudge him back onto her shoulders.
-
Raz eeped as he was stopped and he tried to wiggle out of Sybil's grasp, to try and get down to the bag of food, ignoring Gaia's nudge because he was still hungry and was adamant to get that food.
-
Al stopped, but not because he suspected someone was following them, or because he thought there might be danger in the immediate danger. The wolf turn his head with raised eyebrows, "You were a goth?" He didn't mind Clare rambling on, but didn't think to make note of that.
Gaia frowned a little bit and sighed. "It can't be helped. He hasn't eaten in a few days. I'm kind of just waiting for us to leave the store at least so I can feed him properly. Thanks for catching him." Gaia moved an arm to nudge him back onto her shoulders.
Sybil nodded, putting her hands behind her head. "Anytime," she purred, her grin remaining on her face. "So, uh... Did you need any help carrying anything? I've already got my stuff squared away." The cat held up a bag of what appeared to be mostly ramen and other sorts of junk stuff. She also continued to keep an arm on Raz.
Clare snickered and grinned at Al, her eyes twinkling mischeviously. "Hard to believe, isn't it?" she said. "But it's true. I wasn't as into it as most, but it offered a way to express my feelings without having to get too close to anyone." She stuck her tongue out. "I was younger and into art. We get weird like that." The wolf shrugged. "I did have a couple friends back then, though, and... Well, one of them talked me into getting several piercings."
-
Raz seized his struggling after a while and looked at Sybil with a face that showed a clear message of 'Why?', so he just stayed there dangling against Gaia's body.
-
Al nodded and continued walking. "Well, you've certainly had more 'normal' college life than I have. Anyway, what does that have to do with how you and Alka met?" He wasn't really all that interested, but thought this would be a good opportunity to better understand his ally.
Gaia used a paw to pick Raz up from underneath him and held him firmly. "No. I understand you're hungry, but you'll be eating soon. Oh, and umm-" the fox looked at Sybil once more, "I've only got a few bags of jerkey for him."
-
Al nodded and continued walking. "Well, you've certainly had more 'normal' college life than I have. Anyway, what does that have to do with how you and Alka met?" He wasn't really all that interested, but thought this would be a good opportunity to better understand his ally.

Sybil nodded gently, letting the arm holding Raz drop back to her side. "Alright," she said, rubbing the back of her head. "Well, um... I could walk you to your car?"
Clare flushed slightly. "Well, to tell you the truth, it was because of the piercings that we met," she said, rubbing behind one of her soft brown ears.
-
Gaia was never one to not notice when someone was into her. Even just a little. "Interested in me, girly?" The fox shot a wink and sly grin at Sybil, thinking she new what the car opposite her was playing at.
Al thought for a second. "Next you're going to tell me either he gave you or removed one of your piercings."
-
Sybil colored slightly, then looked at Gaia sheepishly, rubbing her head. ".... M.... Maybe," she replied, glancing to the side. "I'm certainly not the first, though, am I?"
Clare grinned at Al, amused by his prediction. "I was his first successful operation," she stated, chuckling softly. "I was kind of a klutz back then, and on the same day we met, I tripped over a rug and fell flat on my stomach." She winced at the memory. "I would've been fine, normally, but I had recently gotten my belly button pierced and the contact pushed it deeper into me." The wolf paused and looked down at her exposed abdomen. "I didn't realize I'd been hurt until later, and when I went to see him, instead of bringing me to the hospital, he chose to use his skills to do the job himself..."
-
Gaia chuckled. "No where near. I didn't drive, I walked, but since I think you're kinda cute, you can walk with me back to my hotel. Might even invite you in, if you play your cards right." The fox winked again, walking outside of the shop.
Al made a fairly impressed look. "You said he was studying medicine at the time? As in, hadn't yet gotten a degree?"
-
Gaia chuckled. "No where near. I didn't drive, I walked, but since I think you're kinda cute, you can walk with me back to my hotel. Might even invite you in, if you play your cards right." The fox winked again, walking outside of the shop.
Al made a fairly impressed look. "You said he was studying medicine at the time? As in, hadn't yet gotten a degree?"
Sybil flushed and smiled, then followed Gaia out of the store, being careful to maintain a respectable distance.
Clare nodded slowly. "He was close enough to one that he could do it, though," she said. "I was awake through the whole thing, and it hurt like heck. He let me hold his tail for the painful bits... and it was actually a rather simple procedure. He just cut until he could reach it and then yanked it out." The wolf gritted her teeth. "Still, if it wasn't for him, who knows what might've happened... at least he was neat with it and gave me stitches after." Clare softly poked just above her navel. "I've still got the scars, though they've faded over the years... Not just there, either. If you look close enough, you could see where all my piercings were."
-
"It's still being worked on, be aware it's not going to be a stealthy one." He sighed. "Also I just wanted to meet you for myself. I heard a lot of good things about you, plus it took me by surprise to have a complete stranger forgive and help Devin out."
-
Gaia smiled, deciding to close the distance between the two herself. Now that they were out of the shop, Gaia put Raz down on the floor and pulled out some jerkey from one of the bags, holding it close to his maw. "Now that we're outside, I'll feed you. Eat up buddy."
Al cocked an eyebrow. "I doubt much would've happened to you. Unless the piercing penetrated some of your organs, just going into hospital would've merited a similar treatment. Though, the might've given you anaesthetic. Can't imagine having his tail yanked and gripped was too pleasent though."
-
Sybil watched Gaia feed Raz.
Zanthe nodded slowly, shrugging. "I'm not entirely heartless," she replied. "I could tell he was a good person, even if he was trying to kill me... Not stealthy, hmm?" The catfox stroked her chin. "... Do you mean to make an example of him?"
Clare shrugged. "I tried to be careful, but then again, it wasn't pleasant having a piercing forcibly yanked out of my belly button," she said. "Still, he fixed me up pretty cleanly, so not much to say about that except that I never got it pierced again." She chuckled. "Anyway, after that we became pretty close friends for the rest of the time we were in college. After that, though, we... we kinda went our separate ways for a while. I actually ended up in Hell for a period of time, while he became rather successful in the medical field."
-
Al shrugged. "Sounds like quite the story." Looking around, he spotted the safehouse not to far from them. An apartment within a complex.
-
Raz grabbed the piece of jerky and quickly ate the jerky, then when he finished the pieces given to him, he caught sight of the bag and bolted to it, jumping into the bag and starting to eat from the already open jerky bag, his tail wagging outside of the bag.. but how could ya blame him, he had almost starved earlier that day...
-
Gaia sighed and chuckled ruefully. "At least he's enjoying himself." The fox allowed Raz to take his time eating, not wanting to rush him or stop him.
-
Raz did eventually finish, and he just relaxed in the bag, his belly finally full, giving a yawn and then getting up to go to Gaia, nuzzling her leg and starting to curl up to sleep, using her leg as a pillow of sorts.
-
"And I'm glad, not many anthros would do the same nor help." He nodded. "...Precisely." The Great Dane folded his paws.
-
(Sorry about all this. It's that time of year, and I've really got to work on things.)
Sybil grinned, nodding once. "That's for certain," she purred, rubbing the back of her head.
Clare nodded, spying the safehouse as well. "I'd be glad to tell you more about it once I can take this damned mask off," she said, still scanning the area. "Do you think we've been followed?"
Zanthe contemplated the ground for a moment, then looked back up at the Great Dane. "...What did you have in mind?"
-
"Police can't go anywhere without being loud. The Manchesters would've lost us at the warehouse we were at before. As for that Zambian guy... I've no doubt in my mind that he's tracking us. But, at the moment, he poses no threat to me, so I'll put shaking him off a bit lower on my priorities." Al said, fishing the keys from a pocket. He had sweat a lot into his suit, and was actually quite happy to finally be taking it off soon.
Gaia smiled and picked Raz up, cradling him. "Well, time to get this little fella home. You coming?" the fox said, looking to Sybil
-
Raz laid his tail out and gently wrapped it around Gaia, slowly falling asleep in her arms
-
Sybil nodded, sticking her hands in the pockets of her sweatshirt. "Lead the way," she said, falling into step beside the two.
Clare glanced around as Al got the door open. "Still, it would not hurt to be vigilant," she murmured.
-
As so Gaia did, walking along with Raz in her arms. She smiled softly as she looked down at the dragon. "He sure is cute when he's not making a huge mess." Gaia chuckled after speaking.
"I've got more important things to worry about right now..." Al said as he swung the door open. Walking inside, he quickly took off his suit and his shirt, throwing them on a couch before moving to a table and opening a small medicine bottle. From the bottle, he shook out two pills, both of which he swallowed dry. After shutting his eyes and slowly shaking his head, he let out a soft sigh before closing the bottle and placing it down again.
-
Clare padded in, closing and locking the door behind her. Sighing heavily the wolf removed her mask and walked over to her area. "I'm going to change," she said. "Just a heads-up."
Sybil chuckled along with Gaia, watching Raz. "He is pretty cute..."
-
Raz gave a small hiccup waking up for a moment before falling back asleep.
-
Al sat down on the couch. "Yeah, alright. There's also a shower here, if you'd want to clean up." The wolf looked back over to the bottle, stepping back over the couch to grab it before returning to his seat with it. Best keep it close to me...
Gaia continued walking along, waiting for Sybil to start a convo. After all, she's the one trying to get with Gaia, so she's got to make an effort.
-
"Like a raid, you'll have to go in strong and try to take him out as soon as possible..." he said. "It's risky but we can't wait much longer especially since they're on their toes"
-
Zanthe looked down at the floor, one hand resting against her mouth. "...Well, I just finished healing," she said, unfolding her legs and stretching casually. "Might as well get some new scars..." The ghost of a smile touched her lips as she looked at Devin, then went back to normal as she faced the Doberman. "What sort of equipment will we need for this?"
Sybil rubbed the back of her head, racking her brain as she thought of something to talk about. "So... uh... What do you do for a living?" she asked, smiling at Gaia.
-
"I'm an actress. Big companies like the fact that I can do my own special effects, so I get paid quite a lot even for minor roles. I'm currently not on any big screen, but I will be soon." Gaia gently rubbed Raz's belly. "How about you?"
-
"Well we would provide with whatever you're comfortable with..." he said taking a drink of water. "Would any of you like a glass?" He asked.
Devin nodded, he was quite thirsty. "Yes please, sir."
-
Raz knew he was in safe hands, however as he Sept, his mind wandered to the past and his tail around Gaia's waist tightened as he tried to comfort himself in his sleep, but as that failed, he tightened his grip and began making small whining sounds.
-
Sybil put her hands behind her head, looking over at Gaia. "Believe it or not, I do theater," she replied, smiling widely. "But that's usually a hobby. For the most part, I work in a witch shop and a tattoo parlour, though I help with special effects on movies from time to time." The crat glanced at Raz. "...Bad dream, I think..."
Zanthe nodded once. "... Preferably unopened," she said, crossing her arms. She trusted Devin fully, but she'd just met this other man. As such, it was necessary that she take precautions.
-
((Don't forget to move Clare :P))
Gaia nodded as Sybil talked. "Poor thing was abused before I found him. He was in much worse shape before I brought him back to my room. I'd sing him a lullaby but umm... Well, you'll see." Gaia winked at Sybil as she continued to stroke Raz's belly, trying to comfort him.
-
((Don't forget to move Clare :P ))
Gaia nodded as Sybil talked. "Poor thing was abused before I found him. He was in much worse shape before I brought him back to my room. I'd sing him a lullaby but umm... Well, you'll see." Gaia winked at Sybil as she continued to stroke Raz's belly, trying to comfort him.
Sighing, Clare quickly disrobed, then grabbed her toiletries and some fresh clothes and went into the bathroom, closing the door behind her. "Thanks," she said through the door.
Sybil raised an eyebrow and watched Gaia do her thing. "...You'd make a great mom," she said.
-
Al lay back on the couch. He decided to take off his pants too, throwing his entire suit get-up into a washing basket. He stretched himself out a bit, preparing a drink to calm his nerves. He thought he may as well make one for Clare too.
Gaia blushed a little. "N-No I umm... Jeez... Thanks, I guess." Gaia chuckled a little bit awkwardly, the compliment catching her off-guard
-
Raz abruptly woke up and he looked at Gaia, fear in his eyes, to which he turned to her body and hugged her tightly, soft crying coming from him.
-
The great dan nodded. He picked up two glasses that were sealed and set them on the desk for both Devin and zanthe.
Devin leaned over and grabbed both, handing out to zanthe. He popped he cap off and drank some immediately.
-
Suddenly, and without warning, there was a loud bump from behind one of the closed doors in Al's home, loud enough to warrant attention.
Ray, who had kept his head down for a while, found himself on the wrong end of some gang's firing squad. Wrong place, wrong time, he figured. He kept himself behind a concrete divider, as bullets smashed into the divider and whistled overhead. Ray frantically searched his phone, hoping to get assistance from Zanthe, as Jayce and Ronnie were out of town.
-
Al's head shot to the door. "Shit... Now...?" The wolf sighed, realising his medication had yet to kick in. He quickly downed the drink, the alcohol not calming his nerves what so ever. He began to sweat a bit. Putting on some random black pants he found on the ground and picking up his sword, he slowly made his way over to the door, peering through the eye piece to see what was on the other side.
-
The area in front of the door was completely empty, almost unnaturally so.
-
((Gonna put this here, but let's wait for Cifero before continuing.))
Al knew he couldn't breath a sigh of relief just yet. The wolf's vision tinted red slightly and he shook his head again. Come on... Come on... T-This is not what I need right now... Stay... focused... He continued sweating, trying to maintain his focus, but slowly losing his grip on reality.
-
Sybil blinked and looked at Raz. "....REALLY bad dream," she murmured, softly reaching out to pat Raz's head.
Clare poked her head out of the doorway. "Is something the matter, Al?" she asked, raising an eyebrow and brushing a strand of damp hair from her face. Somehow, she'd already taken a shower.
Zanthe followed suit, taking a tentative sip of the water. "...Thank you, sir," she said to the Great Dane, taking another sip.
Suddenly, CODA's "Bloody Stream" started playing.
Zanthe blinked, then fished her cell phone out of her pocket and checked the caller. "...Mind if I take this?" she asked the Great Dane. "It may be important."
-
Gaia held Raz gently, not objecting to Sybil's move at all.
Al looked over at Clare, his left eye sporadically changing between red, black and blue. "We... may have company... just get dressed and run..." His vision began to turn red, and his mind began to detach itself from reality. Shit... not good... losing... stability...
-
Raz slowly calmed down bur kept crying into Gaia, nor objecting to the head pats.
-
Suddenly, the Zambian appeared in Al's kitchen. However, this intrusion was something only Al could see, and hear, as the Zambian spoke. "Hey buddy. Feelin' a little under the weather?"
-
Gaia held Raz gently, not objecting to Sybil's move at all.
Al looked over at Clare, his left eye sporadically changing between red, black and blue. "We... may have company... just get dressed and run..." His vision began to turn red, and his mind began to detach itself from reality. Shit... not good... losing... stability...
Sybil softly patted and scratched Raz's head. "It's okay, guy, you're safe..."
Clare, sensing something in the air, quickly threw some clothes on, then packed her bodysuit into her bag and prepared to beat feet.
-
Raz eventually did stop crying, but didn't let go of Gaia, mumbling softly, "mommy..."
-
((Hang on a second. What's going on with this Zambian guy?))
Gaia smiled and kept gentle hold of Raz. "Mommy is here... you're safe little one..." The fox smiled at Sybil, taking notice of her assistance.
-
((The Zambian knows that Al is losing his grip on reality, and is attempting to manipulate him to essentially kneel before him.))
-
((Going to tell you now, it's not going to work, for reasons I'm waiting to reveal IC. Also, unless the Zambian has some form of mind control, he can't only be visible to Al.))
-
((He's using Al's disconnect from reality. I'll reveal more in-character if the situation presents itself.))
-
"Oh, Please do." The Great Dane responded before taking a drink of water.
Devin turned to her and nudged his head as a sign to go ahead.
-
(I'm not gonna have Clare do anything until you two get sorted on who can do what and who can resist what and whatnot. Okay?)
Sybil raised an eyebrow. "Mommy, huh?" she said, looking at Gaia. "...You must be good at it if he's taken to you so well."
Nodding, Zanthe stood and walked over to the corner of the room. "Ray?" she whispered. "Is that really you?"
-
Raz continued to hold onto Gaia, loosening his grip some more as he became fully calm, but he didn't let go of her shirt.
-
Gaia blushed a little. "He's just a baby. They'll attach themselves to whoever comforts them the most." As they kept walking along, it didn't take much time to reach Gaia's hotel. "Well, here we are."
((... While I do not like where this is going, I'm going to put faith in Ray and hope the explanation for why he can use Al's psychological illness to speak directly to him is a good one. I also hope the explanation for how he even knows Al isn't right in the head is sound.))
Al's eyes fixated on the kitchen. To any one else looking at him, it looked like he was having a nervous breakdown. But this was much worse. "You... What are you doing here."
-
The Great Danes ears tilted with confusion. He opened his mouth to speak but Devin stopped him.
"Zanthe, you alright?" Devin asked getting up and walking over to zanthe.
-
The Zambian opened his arms wide, and started towards an available window. "Take my paw, and have a look outside."
Ray, having been nearly deafened by gunfire, had to shout. "Zanthe!? Thank the gods you picked up! I'm at the construction yard between Fitzburg and Harleton street! Hurry!" His final statement was punctuated by the gangsters shouting and gunfire.
-
Raz kept holding onto Gaia and slowly fell asleep, but he didn't let go of her as he slept.
-
Sybil looked at the hotel building, then suddenly stopped smiling. "....This is where you live?" she said, looking over at Gaia with an odd surprise on her face.
Clare listened in for a few moments, trying to hear if anyone was there. For certain, she at least sensed... something.
Zanthe sighed and internally rolled her eyes. "Good to hear from you too," she said quietly. "I'll... be right there." She looked over her shoulder at Devin and the Great Dane. "I'm fine," she said, tucking the phone away. "However, an acquaintance of mine is not..." The catfox stretched softly, then looked over at the Great Dane. "Would it be an inconvenience to you if I asked to borrow a vehicle? Someone may need my help quickly."
-
"No not at all." The Great Dane said. "I was just done talking to you both as well, I have other things to deal with... It's a hassle." He said glancing at his phone with furrowed brows.
Devin looked over to Zanthe. "I'll get the materials we need, the Vehicles should be on the bottom floor, looks like a parking lot. When the guards ask say Devin sent you, if they don't believe that then add in 39GH70." He told her.
-
"No not at all." The Great Dane said. "I was just done talking to you both as well, I have other things to deal with... It's a hassle." He said glancing at his phone with furrowed brows.
Devin looked over to Zanthe. "I'll get the materials we need, the Vehicles should be on the bottom floor, looks like a parking lot. When the guards ask say Devin sent you, if they don't believe that then add in 39GH70." He told her.
Zanthe nodded, then, out of an odd impulse, quickly hugged Devin. "....Er... Got it," she said, turning around and heading downstairs so that he didn't see her blush.
-
"Okay, be carefu-" However Zanthe left so fast he couldn't finish.
The Great Dane raised an eyebrow at Devin.
Devin just held a poker face and shrugged before running out of the room to get the what he needed for the next mission.
-
Zanthe made her way down to the bottom floor, recovering her composure along the way as she went to walk in.
-
Sybil looked at the hotel building, then suddenly stopped smiling. "....This is where you live?" she said, looking over at Gaia with an odd surprise on her face.
Clare listened in for a few moments, trying to hear if anyone was there. For certain, she at least sensed... something.
Gaia moved her head in a sort of 'yes and no' fashion. "I don't really live anywhere. I use the money from my acting to travel from place to place, and just stay in whatever hotel suits my fancy. Does that bother you?" The fox said as she gently stroked Raz's head.
-
Sybil blinked and shook her head. "N...not at all," she said. "It's just... well.... I'm staying here, too."
-
((whoops, forgot to respond as Al :P))
Al tentatively stood up, not taking the Zambian's paw but looking outside.
Gaia chuckled softly. "What a truly small world this is. What room are you in?"
-
The guards blocked the door. "Who are you, who sent you?" The bull snorted.
-
(Manchesters coming back with a vengeance boyos.)
Not to far from where ever one else was. A large ball was being held. Every year they did this. It was The Royal Manchester Ball, outside stood four rows of six of soldiers dressed in red and black. In front of them were more soldiers but in kilts, they held bagpipes In hand. One of them yelled and they all began to march into the ball room. The pipers played and they all entered the building

-
The Zambian sighed, and waved his paw. "You're no fun." The sky began to warp, until it turned a violent red. A huge eye pierced the heavens, and seemed to rove randomly around. Tendrils reached down from the sky, reaching into almost every household. A third of the population seemed to be connected to these tendrils as well, including the Zambian himself.
The Zambian turned to Al, and motioned at the eye. "Welcome to my world."
-
Al's eyes widened with surprise. "What..." The wolf shook his head before looking back out the window. "What is this...?"
-
The Zambian removed his mask, revealing a dull grey furred fox, sporting two eyes identical to the creature above. "You now see the truth, Al."
-
Truth? Maybe. But it was all just a confusing mess of things he couldn't process at the moment. And it just made Al angrier. Al grit his teeth, his mind unable to come to any logical conclusion. His primal urges set in. In his mind, a female voice echoed words. Kill... Murder... Destroy... Kill... Murder... Destroy... Al's left eye turned black as a twisted smile crossed his lips. "Kill. Murder. Destroy!" The wolf charged at the Zambian, unaware if it was just what he was seeing or not.

-
Clare pricked her ears up, sensing that something major was going on outside. She quickly backed against the wall as a tentacle passed through the bathroom to reach the Zambian, quickly putting her mask on again.
Zanthe looked at the bull, her face expressionless. "Devin," she said simply.
-
The Zambian neatly sidestepped the charging Al, smiling widely. "I'm not going to harm you, bud. But, if you will not accept the truth, I cannot force you."
-
Al went full force into a wall, but it didn't stop him. It didn't come anywhere close. The wolf just grinned at the challenge, and a heavy fist at the Zambian.
-
"Sure he did..." The bull gruffed his hand place on his belt near the pistol. "Code?"
-
A slight smile came upon Raz's face as he snuggled into Gaia and fell asleep, his body heating up to a nice warm feeling to the touch, and as he fell asleep, a sweet and and subtle word was sounded from him, "Lov...e..."
-
"39GH70," Zanthe said, not skipping a beat. "Also, I really doubt things would go over well if you shot me, so perhaps we could leave that handgun there out of this?" She very slightly raised an eyebrow.
Sybil rubbed the back of her head. "409," she said, looking over at Gaia. "You?"
Clare just listened quietly.
-
"Luxury suite 5. I was getting a bit tired of crappy hotel rooms." Gaia said with a smile. "Saying that, I'm guessing you'd rather come up to my room?"
-
The Zambian seemed to phase around Al's fist, and chuckled. "I'm not really here, my friend. But, please, continue your efforts."
Ray ran from his cover, into a small unfinished building. He winced in pain, as he realized a round had clipped his shoulder, and Ray slouched to the floor. "Where are you, Zanthe?"
-
Sybil grinned slyly. "Heh... if you don't mind too much," she purred, winking softly.
Clare carefully inched towards the bathroom door.
-
Al caught Clare's movements out of the corner of his eye, his head snapping towards her and his gaze locking onto her. While he was sick of hitting thin air, it became clear that the Zambian wasn't real enough to kill. Not now at least. Clare on the other hand... A twisted and cruel smile crossed his lips as he just kept staring at her, awaiting her next move. By this time, the medicine was starting to take affect, slowly bringing him back to his senses.
Gaia nodded. "Of course. I've let you come this far with me. Most people don't get that." The fox said as she returned the wink, using the tip of her tail to brush under Sybil's chin while walking towards the door.
-
The Zambian vanished into thin air.
Ray found himself now nursing a flesh wound, his firearm empty, and the gangsters closing in.
-
(Uh... could Ray perhaps be frozen in time for a bit? Zanthe hasn't had a chance to even get on a vehicle. @-@)
Sybil turned red and grinned like a Cheshire cat, watching as Gaia walked to the door before following after her.
Clare peered around carefully and noticed Al's eyes on her. Almost immediately, she stared right back, her gaze fixed on hers. Past experiences with Al had led her to become familiar with his habits... and for now, she would have to be on her guard.
-
Voices rang around Al's mind. Yells, screams and men barking out orders. They were slowly getting quieter as the medicine kicked in, but not before Al shot up and pounced at Clare, aiming to knock her over and pin her to the floor.
Gaia walked over to the elevator and pressed the 'up' button, waiting for Sybil to catch up to her.
-
Sybil shook her head, then quickly ran after Gaia, hopping into the elevator. "Heh... sorry for the wait," she said, rubbing the back of her head.
As Al jumped at her, Clare threw her bags to the side and stepped towards her comrade, taking the full brunt of the pounce. However, while she was knocked off-balance, she grabbed Al's shoulders and tried to put him in a lock, wrestling him as the two fell to the ground.
-
"It was just a warning." He said plainly stepping out of Zanthes way and opening the door for her.
-
Gaia shrugged. "No problem. Everything alright?"
Seeing what Clare was doing, Al locked both his feet into the ground to stop them from falling and grabbed Clare's shoulders back. Now that he was close and his eyes were clearly visible, it didn't look like he was just angry. More... scared. That aside Al used all of his weight to push against Clare, attempting to force her into a wall.
-
Zanthe nodded once to the bull. "Good to know you're keeping this place safe," she said, striding past him and his partner and into the garage, buttoning up her outer shirt as she did so. I just hope I'm up to this, she thought as she hopped on a motorcycle and pulled on a helmet. (This is happening prior to where Ray is now.)
Sybil, playing it cool, flashed a grin at Gaia. "Yeah... just got a little lost in thought for a moment," she said, leaning against the elevator's wall.
During the struggle, Clare caught a glimpse of Al's eyes, which had her wondering so many things. However, at the moment, all she was thinking about was surviving this with both her and Al relatively unharmed, so, with some effort, she managed to swing Al to the left as the two of them headed for the wall, so that they would both connect with it.
-
Al collided with the wall, hitting it hard considering that he had put his full weight into pushing Clare. It stopped him momentarily, before he shook his head and took a swing at Clare's right side, feining the actual attack which would land right on her gut.
Gaia smiled. "Want to share some of those thoughts?" She said, as the elevator doors opened and she walked outside.
-
Clare, focusing too much on keeping Al somewhat busy until he calmed down, tried to dodge the swing at her right side.
Sybil tapped her chin. "Hmm... well, for one, your tail is pretty soft," she said, glancing into Gaia's eyes.
-
The fein was successful, and the attack landed solidly into Clare's stomach. He grinned Ned as he launched a second attack onto Clare's face. The world around him was slowly normalising in colour, coming back from the bloody red it was before.
Gaia blushed and smiled softly. "Thanks. I take good care of it."
-
Clare grunted as the blow connected with her stomach, doubling over slightly as she just manages to dodge Al's head-aimed punch. Growling, the wolf grabbed Al's hand, still keeping up a struggle as she tries to stay alive until Al is back to normal. "Snap out of it," she murmured, tightening her muscles.
Sybil smiled back, flushing sheepishly. "Heh... for sure," she purrs. "I'm not sure if I could ever get that soft myself..."
-
Al's head began to throb, and his left eye returned to being blue. His breathing was still heavy, and his eyes widened for a second before he shut them and shook his head. Upon re-opening his eyes, his muscles relaxed as he seemed to return to normal. Well, whatever 'normal' was for Al
Gaia chuckled. "Not with that attitude you can't. While I do admit it's not a cheap process, I could definitely help you out." The elevator opened and Gaia exited, waiting for Sybil.
-
A few of the gangsters that watched Zanthe pull up, decided to fire first and ask questions later. They paced their shots but were still widely inaccurate, smashing into various objects around Zanthe.
-
Screeching to a halt behind a convenient object, Zanthe hopped off the motorcycle and pulled a pistol out of her waistband. Keeping the helmet on, she stayed behind the barrier for a minute, making a quick call to Ray.
Sybil raised one pierced eyebrow, stepping out of the elevator. "I suppose I wouldn't mind that," she said, softly running her own tail under Gaia's chin. "....See how it is?"
Clare sighed softly, but kept a hold on Al. "...Are you back?" she said, panting and grinning at him.
-
Gaia grinned softly. "Just a little on the coarse side. Lucky for you, I'm a miracle worker, not a doctor." She chuckled as she moved to her door and unlocked it with one paw. "You first."
Al kept breathing, his head aching from the overuse of his eye. He remained silent, looking to the floor.
-
Clare stayed with Al, slowly catching her breath. "Hey... Hey, I'm okay, Al," she said, patting his shoulder. "You didn't do anything major to me... I've had a lot worse, if that's the issue..."
Curious, Sybil nodded to Gaia. "Thank you," she said, stepping through the doorway into Gaia's place.
-
Al retracted his paw. "Trust me, it's not that." He turned away, sighing. "I need more to drink..." He said as he cracked his shoulder and moved to the kitchen.
The suite was very nicely equipped. A large bed, a bathroom with a two persons bath, a decent amount of clothing space and a mini kitchen. Gaia set Razuel down on the bed. "Well, mi case, su casa, or whatever."
-
Raz was still sleeping in Gaia's arms, and his face turned to a fearful confusion as he slept, and then to fear, and as such could be told, as the tail around Gaia's waist tightened, as he wanted something to hold on to, however, as he was let go onto the bed, he woke up in a panic and cold sweat, frantically looking around, as he was still slightly confused.
-
Sybil glanced around the room, whistling. "Nice place," she said, watching as Razuel woke up. ".... Looks like someone's awake again."
Clare sighed and followed Al to the kitchen, one hand pressed softly against her belly. "...Do you have an icepack?" she murmured.
-
"Freezer, top compartment." He said as he poured himself a straight shot and downed it, smashing the glass against the table and breaking it in the process.
"Thanks." She sighed, looking over at Razuel. "He just needs a little lullaby." She walked over to him and gently sat beside him, proceeding to sing 'Everybody hurts' while gently stroking his head.
-
Sybil leaned against the counter, watching and listening as Gaia sang to Raz. Her eyes fell partly to half-mast, so entranced was she by the music.
"Thanks," Clare said, padding over to the refrigerator and retrieving an icepack. Rolling her shirt up, the wolf pressed the icepack directly against the bruised area, wincing noticeably. "You sure know how to throw a punch..."
-
"You don't know the half of it Clare..." He said as he reached for the bandage role and the pliers to remove the glass from his hand.
Gaia closed her eyes and continued singing, pulling a pillow towards Raz so he may rest his head on it as well as taking off her jacket to provide a blanket for him.
-
Raz watched as Gaia sat beside him and soon enough he did slowly set his head down, but on Gaia and not on the bed, and soon enough he was sound asleep with cute little snores. He honestly didn't notice that a pillow was below his head, so he just thought that she was there with him.
-
Ray grabbed his phone, and answered Zanthe's call. "Hello?" His comment was punctuated by some light firing. The gangsters, afraid of what Ray could do in close-quarters, were simply waiting for the raccoon to either bleed to death, or give himself up.
-
(If no one minds I'm going to try to revive the Manchester's again... I know I keep leaving, I'm just very busy but now I have more free time.)
From a distance, a man sat atop a jet black horse, his uniform was very similar to this (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/c0/17/5d/c0175daa2bb80bc6d99b91353dacebad.jpg)
He watched the warehouse Ray was in. His radio went off, "Oi! Ye done watching doe twits kill each other?" The man pulled the radio out and responded, a thick Irish accent came from under his gas mask, "Bout'. Just making sure, nothing... Special happens." The man behind the radio was silent for a few seconds then responded, "Well hurry it up, Stowe isn't gonna wait long ye know?"
The man on the horse sighed and pulled some binoculars out and observed again.
-
(I don't mind, but I will interject with some info. Currently, Clare and Al are at his safe house, and no one had followed them, while Ray is getting shot at during a gang fight. Zante is going to his aid.)
-
(that is very helpful information, I read everything completely wrong. Thanks for informing me.)
-
(I am back...what the hell has happened)
-
(cifero where did we leave off?)
-
(The assassin and clover and lucas are at the safehouse, the assassin was retcon subdued by Kammy and Zanthe, Cifero and Sierra and Ruby and Cassy had reached a safehouse but someone was waiting for them.)
"Ray, it's me," she says. "I'm here, but being shot at. Can you create a distraction or send me a picture of their locations, please?"
Clare sighed and grinned at Al. "I probably don't," she said, pulling the icepack away for a second to look at the damage. (You describe it, Alka.) "Looks like our friend there is kind of freaky, isn't he?"
Sybil actually ended up nodding off for a few seconds, but quickly jolted awake as soon as the song ended. "...You're pretty good at that," she whispered to Gaia, not wishing to wake Raz.
-
(OK give me some time to think of what to do.)
Post Merge: February 01, 2017, 07:54:11 PM
The assassin having self inducing herself into comma, finally wakes up after Lucas finally breaches her dream scape which is harder then you'd think. However she does not speak and despite Kammy's best efforts she can't force her too either. So she calls Zanthe.
(I have to think about how i want to handle the other encounter.)
-
Zanthe blinks as she gets another call. "...Hold on just a moment," she says, switching to the other line after glancing at the call to see who it is. "This might not be the best time, Kammy, but... what's happening on your end?"
(Okay.)
-
"Remember that assassin, she finally woke up and is proving difficult to get anything out of. I could use some help when you can give it." Kammy says.
(I had a plan about what to do at one point...but i totally forgot it.)
-
(A large bruise is all he would've done.)
"Yep. And I'm going to kill him. Don't care how many bastards he's got in fancy suits." He said as he plucked shards of glass from his bleeding paw.
Gaia smiled and slowly moved Raz's head onto the pillow, leaving him snug and comfortable. "Thanks. I've had lots of practise."
-
Clare placed the ice pack against her stomach again and leaned against the wall, watching Al pick glass from his hand. "We'll need to get some others to help," she said. "He seems to be pretty.... omnipotent."
(I'll... see if I can't find that post. You might want to look at your old posts, as well. It should still be among them as recent.)
Zanthe sighed. "Alright... I'll get there when I get there," she said, keeping an eye out in case anyone got too close to her. "If I don't die, I should be back sometime tonight.... Wish me luck." As she spoke she waited to see if Ray had sent a picture.
Sybil softly rubbed the back of her head, flicking a pierced ear. "Is he not the first baby you've put to sleep?" she says, taking a few steps closer to Gaia.
-
(oh I didn't think of that then yeah she probably is.)
"Ah yes talking is the preferred method here...besides the reason I am here is to actually give a warning and tell you where you can find yourself." Sierra looked shocked and was about to say something, but the man raised his hand for silence. "The next time we meet I will be forced to try and kill you all, but until then I think the city's museum has gotten it's hands on a set of medieval artifacts from Japan...including an old tomb."
The spider hissed and start jabbing it's towards Zanthe. However, having to focus on two targets ment that kammy could finally fight back. Kammy charged her fist with necrotic power and punched the spider sapping it's strength and feeding herself.
(Found it)
-
Gaia nodded. "I umm... I used to sing to my little brother when he'd get nightmares... He'd always love to hear me sing." Gaia scratched the back of her head and looked down at Raz, smiling a little.
Al scoffed. "Omnipotent is a word of the gods. And what is a god to someone who doesn't believe in them?" He stated as he bandaged his paw and clenched his paw.
-
**Harbor**
Three trucks stood by the docks. Near them stood men armed with military gear (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/e1/37/90/e1379017dcec096266f11e2e4cd465cf.jpg). But, something seemed off. They clearly weren't military and they were up to something fishy.
A small boat came rolling in, inside was a rather old ferret. He stood looking up at the men.
"We don't got all day, you got the weapons?" One of the soldiers asked. The ferret nodded and pointed to the back. Four soldiers jumped into the boat and went into the back, they all came out with large crates..
Ten Minutes Later
After all the creates were loaded into one of the trucks the old ferret got back into the drivers seat of the boat and quickly drove away. The soldiers all looked at each other and made their way back into the backs of the trucks.
"This is Alpha squad, we have the packages. Will be proceeding towards LZ." One of the soldiers said into a radio.
"Roger that, please be on the look out for any hostiles. This place is dangerous. We cannot afford losing the packages." The radio operator said back to the soldier.
They all got into the trucks and drove off down the road.
-
Raz's tail gave a slight and subtle wagging as he was fairly pleased.

For quite some time, Felicity had sat inside an insulated capsule, and within the crate she sat in, there was a cannon that would shoot vaporizing bullets, along with some out-of-capsule harnesses and devices to keep Felicity in check.
On the capsule, it read, "This may help... but be careful with it..."
-
The soldiers all sat in the truck. One of them got up and made their way towards one of the creates. What seemed to be the sergeant stood up and quickly spoke out to him, "Hey! You be very careful with that shit. I heard we had Bio weapons in those things." The soldier nodded then proceeded to open one of them very slowly.
Inside was a capsule, the soldier leaned down and picked it up, turning around and staring at the men in the truck, "The hell is this?" The sergeant quickly but carefully moved his way towards the soldier and gently grabbed the capsule, he inspected it.
"How do we open it?" One of the soldiers asked. The sergeant looked over and growled, "We aren't opening it.. God know's what's in this thing.."
-
Ray nodded, stealthily took a photo of his aggressors. The photo was instantly sent to Zanthe, but Ray was rewarded with a cascade of gunfire, and a now shot-up phone.
-
There was a small viewing screen on the capsule to look at Felicity, so if one of them looked in that screen, they'd see an eye pass through the smoke inside.
-
The soldier with the capsule sat down with it. He tried opening it, the Sergeant quickly grabbed his arm and yelled, "Don't! You don't know what's in that thing!" They both looked down at the capsule, seeing the eye they both gasped.
-
Devin drove a van back home. It contained what he thought was necessary for the mission. He was happy with the risky way they would raid 'Boss' however it would be far to dangerous for him to gain more power.
-
The soldier with the capsule sat down with it. He tried opening it, the Sergeant quickly grabbed his arm and yelled, "Don't! You don't know what's in that thing!" They both looked down at the capsule, seeing the eye they both gasped.
The capsule gave a shake in the guard's hand... then another, and one more before the capsule started to bounce, seemingly trying to make the capsule fall so it'd break.
-
The soldier holding the capsule held onto it tightly, then the truck hit something... A pot hole. The capsule went flying out of his hands and landed out side of the truck. The truck stopped and all the men quickly jumped out running towards the capsule.
-
The screen on the capsule broke and a red, black, and white cloud of electricity flowed out of it to soon then form a fluffy quadreped Dragon, who looked confused and innocent at the men who had rushed to her until she noticed a logo and she lowered her body into a pouncing stance, her haunches high and her head low with ears down.
A little way from the capsule was a remote that could possibly be used on Felicity to put her in check.
-
They all drew their weapons, one of them slowly moved his way towards Felicity. Hand out stretched, "Heeeey. What's going on?"
The sergeant slowly moved towards the remote, each step was quiet and each step was rather elegant.
-
Felicity watched each of them... but she did miss the sergeant as he didn't notice them sneaking past her.
-
(oh I didn't think of that then yeah she probably is.)
"Ah yes talking is the preferred method here...besides the reason I am here is to actually give a warning and tell you where you can find yourself." Sierra looked shocked and was about to say something, but the man raised his hand for silence. "The next time we meet I will be forced to try and kill you all, but until then I think the city's museum has gotten it's hands on a set of medieval artifacts from Japan...including an old tomb."
The spider hissed and start jabbing it's towards Zanthe. However, having to focus on two targets ment that kammy could finally fight back. Kammy charged her fist with necrotic power and punched the spider sapping it's strength and feeding herself.
(Found it)
((Okay.))
Cassy stood in front of Ruby, one hand on her knife in case things got nasty.
Cifero raised an eyebrow, looking between the odd man and Sierra. "...Didn't you say that you thought you were Oriental, Sierra?" he asked, his own knife still in his hand.
(You still need to finish the phone call with Zanthe. ^///^)
Sybil couldn't help but crack a smile as well as she stared down at the sleeping Raz. "Funny... I used to do the same with my little sister," she said, leaning towards Gaia a little. "My voice isn't near as fantastic as yours, though."
Clare gave Al a look, her lips curling into a grin. "I know you're speaking hypothetically, but when your frequent companion is related to angels and demons- and is dating an angel- that sounds pretty hypocritical," she said, lowering the ice pack at last. The bruise from the punch had faded significantly, and could hardly be seen through her fur. "Anyhow, I'm only suggesting that we find some allies before we stroll in guns blazing."
-
Al rolled his eyes. "Touche." He lent against the table, thinking. "But, I'm not sure if just anyone would be both good enough and willing to help us."
Gaia blushed a little. "Oh, stop it you..." She said looking into Sybil's eyes with a wide smile on her face.
-
Clare placed the ice pack against her stomach again and leaned against the wall, watching Al pick glass from his hand. "We'll need to get some others to help," she said. "He seems to be pretty.... omnipotent."
(I'll... see if I can't find that post. You might want to look at your old posts, as well. It should still be among them as recent.)
Zanthe sighed. "Alright... I'll get there when I get there," she said, keeping an eye out in case anyone got too close to her. "If I don't die, I should be back sometime tonight.... Wish me luck." As she spoke she waited to see if Ray had sent a picture.
Sybil softly rubbed the back of her head, flicking a pierced ear. "Is he not the first baby you've put to sleep?" she says, taking a few steps closer to Gaia.
(Oh...)
"Alright I will see you soon hopefully, before she finds a way to escape." Kammy says as she wasn't sure if she could handle the spider lady alone.

Sierra nods.
"Who are you and why should I trust anything you say?" The man just chuckles.
"Trust me or not, you won't have a long life after this encounter. You can ignore me and go do whatever the hell it is you plan on doing, it doesn't matter to me. However...I do want you to remember so that when we meet next time, you will be begging me to end you." With that the man kicks open a trap door that was hidden under a rug and jumps down it. Ruby just reacts as he does this and tosses a fireball right after him...But was a little late.
-
Ray brought the shot-up phone to his ear, and whispered. "D-Did you get it?"
-
Felicity watched each of them... but she did miss the sergeant as he didn't notice them sneaking past her.
The sergeant picked up the button slowly, whilst doing so he would press the button. The soldiers watching kept aiming their weapons at her.
-
Felicity looked back at the sergeant quickly and went to attack him, but just as he pressed the button, Felicity's body began to fizzle as she cried out in pain and lowered her body to the ground, "Ahhh! STOP IT! IT HURTS!!!", she said in a feminine but assertive voice.
-
The one of the soldiers quickly rushed over to her, grabber her hands trying to put handcuffs on her. The sergeant kept his finger on the button.
-
Felicity had no choice but to let the soldiers cuff her as she was still screaming, "AHhhhh!! PLEASE! STOP!!!"
-
The sergeant stopped holding the button and put the remote in his pocket, they all kept their weapons trained on Felicity.
The sergeant marched towards her and pulled out a gun aiming it at her, "Now listen closely, I'll ask this once and only once. What in God's name are you?"
-
Felicity was softly crying, "M-my name is Felicity.... I was kidnapped by... by whoever the **censor** those people are!", she pointed at a logo on the side of the crate she was taken out of, "They put some stupid devices inside my body... th-they said I was a weapon....", she then looked at the sergeant, "Please! Let me go!"
-
The sergeant lowered his weapon, a sense of regret swept across his face. He helped the girl up and sighed, pulling his canteen out and handing it to her.
"You must be E-001. They never told us it was a girl." The sergeant said, "Get into the back of the truck, we're headed to a base were we can store all this shit."
-
Felicity stared at the canteen and smacked it away, "NO! K-keep that away from me!", she pushed herself back from the sergeant and fell on her ass again before scooting back and trying to get back up on her own, which was causing problems for her.
-
The sergeant slowly picked up the canteen, he put it back onto his belt and sighed. He tried helper her back up again, whilst doing so he spoke, "The names Charles."
-
Felicity stared at at Charles and took his hand to get up, "Th-thank you...,Charles... s-sorry about the canteen...", she then started to walk towards the truck.
-
He replied, "No worries. I understand if you're scared." He got into the truck along with her, the rest of the soldiers got in and sat down. The truck started and they were off.
-
Felicity sat further in the truck and she clearly saw the rest of the men staring at her and this was making hr really nervous, along with being treated like a hostage of sorts.
-
Clare placed the ice pack against her stomach again and leaned against the wall, watching Al pick glass from his hand. "We'll need to get some others to help," she said. "He seems to be pretty.... omnipotent."
(I'll... see if I can't find that post. You might want to look at your old posts, as well. It should still be among them as recent.)
Zanthe sighed. "Alright... I'll get there when I get there," she said, keeping an eye out in case anyone got too close to her. "If I don't die, I should be back sometime tonight.... Wish me luck." As she spoke she waited to see if Ray had sent a picture.

(Oh...)
"Alright I will see you soon hopefully, before she finds a way to escape." Kammy says as she wasn't sure if she could handle the spider lady alone.

Sierra nods.
"Who are you and why should I trust anything you say?" The man just chuckles.
"Trust me or not, you won't have a long life after this encounter. You can ignore me and go do whatever the hell it is you plan on doing, it doesn't matter to me.

Ruby just reacts as he does this and tosses a fireball right after him...But was a little late.
Clare grins at Al, tugging her shirt back down as she padded over to him. "Don't be so negative," she said, booping his nose. "We just have to search a bit." The wolf glanced down at her feet, thinking. "Perhaps on crime lists? In a city this corrupt, the good guys will likely have been labeled as bad ones."
"Huh... I wonder what he meant by that," Cifero mused aloud, glancing around the room for other hidden surprises.
Cassy took a moment to admire Ruby's bravado, then touched her shoulder lightly. "We should get inside," she whispers, looking into the peacock's eyes.
Zanthe smiled slightly as a picture of the thugs' locations came up. "Alright.... With any luck, I'll be along shortly," she said, cocking her gun and preparing to engage. "Give me... maybe three hours. Alright?"
-
"And, unless you fancy breaking into a police department, or have a friend who can work a computer really well, we're not getting those lists." Al said, rubbing his nose with an unimpressed look on his face.
-
Ray nodded. "Please hurry." He hung up as another volley slammed against his cover.
-
Clare raised an eyebrow. "Ever heard of a newspaper?" she asks, still grinning. "And failing that... I suppose I could ask my boyfriend."
As soon as the volley was fired at Ray, Zanthe sprang up from behind her cover and squeezed off three shots, aiming each at a vital part of the body. She did not stay still, either; as she fired, she ran for the next bit of cover.
-
"That guy? Last time I saw him he wasn't the most... fit for battle type." Al muttered as he walked over to his room.
-
Ruby nods and goes into the safe house, however Sierra is leaving with a very disturbed look on her face.
Kammy hangs up and keeps a close eye on the assassin.
-
Clare lowered her ears slightly, following after Al. "He is sort of... limited on Earth at the moment," she said, rubbing her arm. "Losing your heart will do that to you, though he and I have been trying to find him a new one. But he does work for a group whose job is, quite literally, watching the planets." The wolf shrugs. "He might know someone who's seen something."
Cassy follows Ruby into the safehouse, staying close to the peacock just in case there's other bad stuff inside.
Cifero looks over at Sierra and softly pats her shoulder. "...Will you be okay, Sierra?" he says.
-
"It's an option, I guess. But for now, it might be best to wait on it. After what's happened earlier, it would be somewhat good to lay low for a little bit." Al said as he entered his room and took his pants off, looking through other clothing for something to wear. If he couldn't decide, his fallback was perfectly fine.
-

Al said as he entered his room and took his pants off, looking through other clothing for something to wear. If he couldn't decide, his fallback was perfectly fine.
Clare, totally used to Al by now, simply rolled her eyes and looked to the side to give him some privacy. "So... will we need a new safehouse, then?" she asks, leaning against the wall. "What's your plan for 'laying low' this time?"
-
"I doubt we could hide from our target. He's literally got eyes everywhere. As for the manchesters and the police, neither could know we're here. So for now, the safe house can remain the same." Al said as he eventually just decided to put his Gi on. "As for laying low... We'Ve still got newspapers to look through." He said, flashing Clare a grin.
-

Al said as he eventually just decided to put his Gi on. "As for laying low... We'Ve still got newspapers to look through." He said, flashing Clare a grin.
Clare looked over at Al, grinning back. "I'll get my library card," she says, picking her bag up and going to change again. Moments later, the wolf returned, wearing jeans, a black crop top, and a jacket suitable to the weather. "I'm guessing we won't need guns, then?" she says, tying her hair back into something of a ponytail.
-
"In this city, its best to one close, just in case. But, if you don't feel like carrying one into a library, I'll hold it for you while I wait." He said as he holstered a desert eagle.
-
Clare rubbed her chin, then shrugged and slipped her jacket off. "Just a moment," she said, pulling on a gun harness and strapping a pair of Desert Eagles into the holsters. Following this, she stuffed extra cartridges into her pockets and one in her bra, then tucked a Glock 17 into her waistband and strapped a boot knife to her leg. Then, she pulled her jacket on and placed more cartriges in the pockets, and taped extra magazines to her stomach. As a finishing touch, the wolf pulled out a single bullet and, after some effort, lodged it into her belly button, taping it there so it wouldn't fall out. Sighing, she looked over at Al, one eyebrow raised as she flashed him an smartass grin. "Like that?" she said. "Or should I lose the harness?"
-
Al rolled his eyes. "Hilarious." He said as he tucked away three extra magazines into the pockets of his belt where his knives would sit. The wolf turned the safety off his gun and put it away, making sure it had a clip in their first. "So. Where to?"
-
Clare reached into one of the pockets that didn't have ammunition in it and pulled out a small digital map, scrolling through it. "Well, the biggest library in the city is... here," she said, pointing to a large structure that was close to the city's center, or one of the centers. "They'll probably have copies of all the newspapers that have been running lately." She bit her lip slightly as if she was in slight pain, then continued. "There's also several newspaper offices and several other libraries scattered throughout the city."
-
"Well, the biggest one is a start." Al said pocketing a pair of keys and a wallet.
-
Clare slipped her wallet into her pocket and zipped up her bag, shouldering it effortlessly. Blinking a few times, she unzipped her jacket and smoothed down the tape over her navel. Stupid hernia, she thought as she zipped her jacket back up and headed for the door. "Right... you drive, I navigate?" she says, grinning widely.
-
Al nodded as he exited his room, and moved to the front door, unlocking it and opening it for Clare. "Let's try not to make a scene."
-
Al nodded as he exited his room, and moved to the front door, unlocking it and opening it for Clare. "Let's try not to make a scene."
Clare stepped through, tilting an imaginary hat to Al. "It's a library, Al," she said, grinning. "As long as we're not too loud, we should be fine."
-
"Sorry, but trouble seems to follow me wherever I go." He said as he closed the door and locked it shut. "And believe me, it has followed me many places I would never expect it to."
-
"Sorry, but trouble seems to follow me wherever I go." He said as he closed the door and locked it shut. "And believe me, it has followed me many places I would never expect it to."
Clare waited patiently, crossing her arms. "...Fair enough," she said, remembering the previous times she's worked with Al. "Still... if all this machinery fails, we both know I've got one hell of a backup." Grinning, the wolf pats Al on the arm. "Let's go check out a book."
-
Al shrugged. "Let's just move out for now., he said as he walked over to the car and unlocked it, getting in.
-
Clare got in the passenger side and buckled up, making sure that the seatbelt wasn't pressed against any of the live amunition she had on her. Pulling out the map, she set things up so that it would function as something of a silent GPS, telling her where to go so she could tell Al where to go. "Well.... here's hoping this goes well," she murrs, smiling at Al.
-
Al followed suit, but got into the drivers seat instead. He fastened his seatbelt securely, and turned the engine on. He then lay back into his seat, rolling his eyes. "You're way too optimistic about this."
-

Clare stuck her tongue out at Al. "Sue me," she says, grinning at him. "We should probably get going soon, though... I'm not sure when it closes." She shrugs. "There's some negativity."
-
Al cocked an eyebrow and sighed. "Forget I said anything. You're not that great at being negative." He said as he reversed out of the driveway and began moving down the street onto the main road.
-
Al cocked an eyebrow and sighed. "Forget I said anything. You're not that great at being negative." He said as he reversed out of the driveway and began moving down the street onto the main road.
"Heh... Just trying to keep a balance," the wolf says, winking at Al before turning her eyes to the map. (Timeskip to the library?)
-
All three gangsters dropped, either shot or from fear.
Ray smiled slightly, and shouted up over the shot up barrier he had hidden behind. "G-Glad you made it!"
As Al drove, a figure seemed to follow at impossible speeds, but stayed just out of cars rear lighting.
-
The truck kept going, the soldiers all watched the girl. They turned the corner and infront of them was Al's car. The headlights illuminated the figure, they still couldn't make out whatever it was. The truck driver screamed, "What the **censor** is that!?" The passenger in the side froze and put his hand on his sidearm. He trembled in fear and whispered. "No normal creature could run that fast."
-
Felicity heard the screams and she was getting scared so much she went in the fetal position.
-
Clare's ears perked up, glancing over her shoulder. "... I'm not certain yet, but... someone might be following us," she said, one hand on the zipper of her jacket.
Zanthe closed her eyes and focused on bottling up her emotions entirely. What she had to do would require almost super-powered precision if she wasn't going to become bullet food. Under her shirt, she could feel her recent wound starting to bleed a little. Hold on a bit longer, she muttered to herself, opening her eyes before doing a freaking Matrix cartwheel to get to the next cover, seeming to make herself an open target. However, as she squeezed off shots at four more gangsters, not a one fired at her made contact.
-
Each of the gangsters dropped with a hit in the chest. It would seem that no more gangsters would show up for a while.
-
Peeking out from behind cover, Zanthe smiled under her helmet. That should keep these down for now, she thought, weaving her way over to where she sensed Ray was pinned down. Keeping to cover, the catfox eventually came around beside Ray, tapping him on the arm. "Are you okay?"
-
Al nodded in response. "Evidently enough, my head is on quite a large chopping block." He muttered as he looked a fair distance down the road in front of him and in the rear view to see if there was anyone behind him.
-
Ray was worse for wear, a graze across his cheek, a hole in his ear, and a flesh wound in his arm. He smiled at Zanthe, and answered. "I-I'm alive, r-right?"
-
Zanthe nodded briefly, carefully examining the flesh wound. "If you don't have a bullet lodged in anything, how do you feel about getting out of here?" she said.
Clare unzipped her jacket just enough so that she could reach one of her sheathed guns if necessary. "So it seems," she murmured, carefully peering over her shoulder to watch. "Keep your eyes on the road... I'll watch your back."
-
Al smirked. "Good thing I've got just the tool for people moving fast..." His left eye turned black as he peered into the left mirror, just waiting for even the slightest bit of light to hit whatever was pursuing them.
-
The figure vanished as soon as Al's ability kicked on. Obviously, whatever it was didn't want to be seen.
Ray nodded. "I'd like to go home, if that's alright."
-
Clare raised an eyebrow. "....I think they're gone," she said. "At least... they're gone for now."
Nodding, Zanthe helped Ray up and led him back to the motorcycle, still using cover. "Do you have a new place?"
-
Ray shook his head. "N-No. I was t-trying to get a new place, but someone torched it. I w-was out at the b-bar with Ronnie when it happened." He was limping heavily, obviously there was more sub-surface damage than what was apparent.
-
Zanthe raised an eyebrow at Ray's movements. "... Perhaps we should get you to a doctor first," she said, crouching down behind the cover she originiated from. "Where does it hurt?" As she spoke, she pulled out her phone, instinctively dialing Devin.
-
"Chest, lower leg and shin. They did me up pretty good before the firefight broke out." Ray sighed, upset with himself. "I'm sorry I bothered you. I thought I could take 'em."
-
Zanthe put the phone to one of her ears. "It's fine... at least you're not dead," she says, swishing her tail patiently.
-
(hey Moka is back, what has happened in my absence.)
-
Clare lowered her ears slightly, following after Al. "He is sort of... limited on Earth at the moment," she said, rubbing her arm. "Losing your heart will do that to you, though he and I have been trying to find him a new one. But he does work for a group whose job is, quite literally, watching the planets." The wolf shrugs. "He might know someone who's seen something."
Cassy follows Ruby into the safehouse, staying close to the peacock just in case there's other bad stuff inside.
Cifero looks over at Sierra and softly pats her shoulder. "...Will you be okay, Sierra?" he says.
(This is all that's happened so far on this front. )
-
(ok, i will respond later. I'm not in a good mood currently.)
-
(Alrighty, then. Sounds good.)
-
Al's left eye returned to normal. "No... they wouldn't just disappear like that... They're following us, but from a different angle."
-
Al's left eye returned to normal. "No... they wouldn't just disappear like that... They're following us, but from a different angle."
Nodding slightly, Clare unzipped her jacket a little more and reached inside, feeling around for the Glock that she'd tucked in her waistband. She blinked and got an odd look on her face as she felt her stomach, then sighed and reached to her side, pulling out the gun as discreetly as possible. "... Maybe they're running on the sides of the buildings or something?" she says, checking to make sure the gun's safety was off in case she needed to use it.
-
It's a possibility, Al thought to himself, pulling to a stop at a traffic light. "I know I've pissed off some weird people tonight... but I don't remember making The Flash's hitlist. What's their motive...?"
-
It's a possibility, Al thought to himself, pulling to a stop at a traffic light. "I know I've pissed off some weird people tonight... but I don't remember making The Flash's hitlist. What's their motive...?"
Clare shrugged softly, keeping the gun out of sight as she watched out the windows. "I've no idea... but it's likely that we'll find out," she says, picking up the map with her other hand. "...Should we still head to the library?" The wolf bit her lip a bit nervously.
-
"Of course. Anything starts there, police are bound to show up and cause complications and there is plenty of space to hide in a library, I would imagine." He said, waiting for the lights to turn green.
-
"Of course. Anything starts there, police are bound to show up and cause complications and there is plenty of space to hide in a library, I would imagine." He said, waiting for the lights to turn green.
Clare nods slowly, carefully rucking her jacket up on one side and slipping her Glock back in its holster. She winces slightly, then sighs, unzips her jacket partway, and checks herself over. Frowning, the wolf seems to mess with something for a few moments on her abdomen before glancing out the window at the sky. "I'd imagine the same, to be honest," she says, looking back to Al. "Especially one of that size." Clare bit her lip and took another glance around. "...Do you have room in your kimono for some extra ammunition? I think I might be packing a little too much myself," she says.
-
"Why? Something poking in an uncomfortable area?" He said as the lights turned green again. "The answer is a yes, fyi. I don't pack many bullets myself since I can always pinch some of whoever I use them on anyway."
-
"Why? Something poking in an uncomfortable area?" He said as the lights turned green again. "The answer is a yes, fyi. I don't pack many bullets myself since I can always pinch some of whoever I use them on anyway."
Clare nods, waiting until they're on the move before unzipping her jacket. "It might've been fun back then, but having all this on me isn't entirely pleasant," she says, carefully peeling the taped-on cartridges off of her stomach. "Also..." Reaching down, the wolf peeled away the strip of tape over her navel, the bullet she'd stuck in there almost immediately falling into her cupped palm as her hernia pushed it back out. "That was getting a touch painful... I should really get that thing looked at sometime soon, it's probably not good." Sighing, Clare began removing the strips of tape from the cartridges, not zipping her jacket back up yet. "I hope we don't really get into a firefight at the library... it would be a waste of good literature."
-
Al used his free hand to take some of the ammunition and slipped it under one his kimono, using the tape to stick it to the inside. "Don't let that thought bother you if that's what it turns to. I don't want to have to drag you out of there because you were too afraid to shoot through the book."
-

Clare glanced over at Al, giving him a small grin. "Good one," she murmurs, taking up the map again. "Maybe I'll get you to lighten up yet... Turn right at the next intersection."
-
Al suppressed the urge to give a coy grin in return. He at the very least would like to make it seem like he wasn't warming up to Clare. "Maybe..."
-
Al suppressed the urge to give a coy grin in return. He at the very least would like to make it seem like he wasn't warming up to Clare. "Maybe..."
"That's the spirit," Clare replied, chuckling gently as she kept watching the map. "We're getting close... Did you have a plan of attack in mind? Speaking metaphorically."
-
"Does just walking in, getting the newspapers and walking out count?" He said, pulling to a stop at another ref light.
-
"Does just walking in, getting the newspapers and walking out count?" He said, pulling to a stop at another ref light.
Clare zipped up her jacket. "Indeed it does," she says. "Go straight, then take a left and it should be halfway down the road on the right."
-
Al followed the instructions, taking a left and proceeding down the street slowly, moreso looking for parking than anything else.
-
Clare pointed to a spot at the side of the library. "That might be a good place," she said. "Not directly in front, but not too out of the way..."
-
Al nodded, heading over to the parking space and reversing into it. "Ok, we're just here for some papers. Since my face is probably on some police report, it would be best if you went and got it. If I hear gunshots, I'll come and assist you."
-
Al nodded, heading over to the parking space and reversing into it. "Ok, we're just here for some papers. Since my face is probably on some police report, it would be best if you went and got it. If I hear gunshots, I'll come and assist you."
Clare nods, glancing around outside. "Good point," she says, patting Al's shoulder. "Stay low, okay?" The wolf quickly made sure her weapons were secure and could not be easily seen.
-
Al looked over at Clare for a second. He was going to say something, but decided against it, looking straight. "Be quick, alright?" He sounded... oddly sincere...
-
Clare furrowed her brow for a second, giving Al a pensive look. "...You've got it," she said, opening the door and hopping out of the car. "I'll be back in a couple tail shakes." Grinning, the wolf padded towards the library. However, as soon as Al couldn't see her face, she lost the grin as she tried to comprehend what she had just seen.
-
Al let a long sigh out as soon as Clare was looking away. No... I can't do that... not a third time. He thought to himself as he very quickly realised what was happening. He was softening up. His history with that told him it would be better for both Clare and him if he just remained the same heart-less bastard he usually was.
-
Clare bit her lip slightly as she padded into the library, thinking of the interaction she had just had at the car. Al and I are essentially business partners, she thought as she passed through the door. He's always been professional about our relationship... he hardly even calls me a friend. So why the sincerity right there? Sighing, the wolf glanced around, looking for the service desk.
-
Al bit his lip and loaded his pistol with some rounds. He thought it was better to be prepared but half knew he was just trying to distract himself from what was happening. He sighed softly to himself. "My sins are catching up to me... and history is repeating itself once more."
-
Clare pushed thoughts of Al to the back of her mind for a moment as she approached the desk, slightly rubbing her midriff. The hernia, in truth, wasn't really that much of a problem for her. In a matter of days, maybe even hours, her belly button would be back to normal. Still, it was annoying how much those things could hurt. Seeing that no one was present, Clare waited for someone to appear.
-
A female cat with very crazy looking hair and glasses shot up from behind the counter, holding a cup of coffee. "Hello,hi,andwelcometothelibrary. HowmayIassistyou?

Clare tensed a bit at the cat's sudden appearance, but didn't make a move for any of her weapons. Instead, she gave the cat an awkward, but polite, smile. "Hello... I was wondering if the library keeps records of the newspapers in the town?" she says, brushing hair from her face. "I'm doing research for a school report, and I was told to check local newspapers."
-
The cat stood there staring directly at Clare for a few seconds before taking a sip of her coffee and speaking. "Yeahsure,thenewspapersarekeptinthehistorysectioninthefilingcabinets. They'reseparatedbasedonyearandarearrangedfromjanuarayontoptodecemberonbittom, datingbackfrombetweenfourto50yeaesofthistownshistory."

She really needs to try some decaffinated blends, Clare thought, keeping up her polite look. "I see... Could you show me where to look, please?" she says. "I've never been here before."
-
Again, the cat stared for a few seconds, before nodding and in an almost comically exasperated way, lifted the board of wood separating them before darting over to the history isle. Considering how it was on the far end of the library, it was quite impressive that she managed to weave her way beteeen seats and tables to get there so quickly.
-
A lone figure approached Al's car. They appeared homeless, wearing tattered clothing and smelling of garbage. They seemed to shift and shuffle as they moved, barely able to walk in a straight line.
-
Clare quickly followed after the cat, jarring her hip against a chair as she did so. She's got to have worked here a while, the wolf thought, approaching the cat as she gingerly rubs her hip. "...Thank you," she says, raising her other hand. "I should be able to handle it from here."
Zanthe sighs and puts Ray's arm over her shoulder. "Come on, let's get you somewhere safe," she says, getting him back over to the motorcycle.
-
Al tried to remain concealed, but the smell caused him to have to lift up his windows. Bad smells would have to be his one of his bigger weakness, and homeless people didn't exactly smell like rose petals.
The cat nodded after a few seconds and zipped right back to her desk.
-
After the cat had gone, and after she was sure the cat was back at the desk, Clare glanced down the history isle. The past seven months or so should do, she says, pulling a pad and a pencil from her pocket and looking around for the more recent newspapers. I hope Al's holding up alright.
-
As the figure passed on the car's passenger side, they tapped on the window and moved along.
Ray grunted, as they made their way to the bike. "So...w-where's safe?"
-
Al breathed a sigh of relief as the homeless man walked along. And then, it hit him. What he saw earlier. With the eye. And the people tethered to it. Maybe... Maybe... Al shot straight up. Their location might be compromised.
-
Having finished taking down possible notes and names, Clare pocketed her notepad and pencil and quickly heading into the stacks, her ears pricked. Something wasn't right....
-
Al's mind wondered to that eye in the sky. Whether or not he's going to be a problem is anyone's guess. But, I'm pretty sure that with all the people that were connected to that eye, he'll have no trouble knowing where I am. That may be problematic... He quickly looked around for that homeless guy to see if he was still outside. Examining one of those people tethered may help him identify others...
-
As Clare was about to exit the build, a familiar white-suited arm shot out and blocked the door. A masked figure, female yet the same as the Zambian, rounded the doorway slowly, her head dipped. "Hello there."
Simultaneously, as Al turned to observe the homeless man, The Zambian appeared in his back seat. "Heya sport!"

Clare stopped short. Shit. "....Hello," she replies, dipping her head back. "Have we met?" The girl glanced over the woman's shoulder, as though looking for someone.
Zanthe blinked a few times, then put her helmet on Ray. "You'll see," she says, climbing on the bike before helping Ray on. "...How do you feel about me fixing your wounds?"
-
Al instantly turned around and locked the deagle right onto the Zambian's head. "You know, one might think getting into a car with an armed criminal, famous for killing powerful people, whom you've no idea what your relationship with them is, isn't the smartest idea." He clicked the safety off. "Especially one so paranoid."
-
Ray smiled. "As long as you know what you're doing."
The Zambian chuckled. "I know you're upset. But do you really think that I'd climb into your car without proper precaution?"
The woman moved slightly to block Clare. "A few times, if you were paying attention. Please don't do anything dim witted, you're supposed to live through this."
-
Al responded quickly, "Of course not." He lowered the gun and turned back around to the front. "So, plan on telling me what is up with your obsession with me? It would certainly give me a reason not to just shoot next time I turn around and see you in my car."
-
Clare raises an eyebrow. "... Alright, I'll just go grab a book then," she says, backing towards the stacks. When the hell did he even see me that time!?
-
The Zambian shrugged. "That eye trick's what I'm interested in. You're the only iteration that seems to have it." He seemed to phase into the passenger seat. "May I show you something?"
The masked female followed Clare closely.
-
"Iteration...?" Al blinked before rolling his eyes. "Dear god, you're not about to say what I think you're about to say are you?"
-
Clare raises an eyebrow at the woman, then walks around a stack and heads down the next aisle. "...So... I can only assume your boss is doing something outside?" she says, looking through the young adult books.
-
The female chuckled. "No no, I don't have a boss. We're just curious what you and Al are doing, Clare. You two are interesting enough, given most go insane when revealed the truth."
The Zambian laughed warmly. "Yeah. The multi-verse is weird. We gotta go look at something, may I take the wheel?"
-

The Zambian laughed warmly. "Yeah. The multi-verse is weird. We gotta go look at something, may I take the wheel?"
Zanthe pulled into a small safehouse and parked the bike, then helped Ray off of the back. "Right... this isn't going to be easy, but I promise I'll save you," she said, looking at the raccoon. "Stay with me, okay?"
Clare grinned at the woman, though internally she had some questions. "Who's to say I'm not already crazy?" she says, picking out a book and leaning against the shelf, flipping through it. How did she manage to guess my name, I wonder...? "Why don't you grab a novel, and we can read while we wait."
-
Al gave a solid facepalm. "Firstly, no. I'm waiting for a friend. Secondly, how could I be the only one with the eye implant? They only ever made one and gave it to me because i had the fastest reaction speed. So either it was never made, or out of every iteration of me, I'm the best."
-
The Zambian shrugged. "I guess you're the best. Besides, if you were to join us, you'd have to be, right?"
The woman shook her head. "No, I am merely to observe you."
-
The Zambian shrugged. "I guess you're the best. Besides, if you were to join us, you'd have to be, right?"
The woman shook her head. "No, I am merely to observe you."
Clare cracked the book open and began to read, keeping her senses tuned on the other woman. "Well, observe away, if you must," she said. "Unless there was something specific you wanted to see."
