The Cold Consumes All

"Oh~ Ja~son~. Come out~ come out~ where ever you are~. Uncle Alex has a new blade to test out. I'd like to see how smoothly it can slice of your head. There's a few things that Ink would like to do with it you know. Who knows, you..." it started to say, as its eyes coiled back and once again, blades began to slowly sink out from its teeth,"....could be just like little ol me. What do ya say, huh bud?". It took out the blade in its pants leg and began to scrape it against the side wall, causing an eerie screeching noise against it.

"I....suppose. Depends. I can get us there pretty quickly you see, but it'd be quite troublesome if I were to put you into an awkward situation..." he started to say. "You see, tis not that I really require the help as much as it is that I'd prefer for the client not to really become familiar with me. I tend to have a habit of delivering his goods to him in a way that usually can leave me unknown due to his....oh so horrid lack of manners. If you would be so kind, I should simply ask that once we meet with him, that you be the one to take it to him. If, that is, you would be willing to give such assistance." Mathew asked, a slight smile forming on his face due to the conveniance of this kind of assistance.

 

Olive was already climbing over the rubble when Vincent came back to her, yet she still heard the woman's words. She simply sighed and jumped down from a larger piece of the building to a smaller one before landing on the ground on the opposite end of the alley. She then looked around to see that the street has emptied out. "Where did they go from here?"



Jason finally caught his breath and managed to clean off most of the blood from his skin. He took a deep breath and stood back up. He really wanted to get some payback, but it would seem he was no match for these guys. Damn it... If only I was a Speith already! He thought as he moved as carefuly through the maze of boxes as he could, hearing Alex's voice through the walls.




Shiira stopped suddenly and spun on her heel when he asked her yet another question. She held up her index finger and waved it around slightly. "I'd rather be eaten alive by the monsters than join Sin; most of the people in the settlement feel the same." Her middle finger went up as well now. "And secondly, most of them hate The City as well. If they don't, then they already left." Her arm fell at her side and she shrugged with a small laugh. "Besides, believe it or not, we like it here. Danger's fun!" She said with a wide smile and turned back around.

She said in silence until the reached the town. It was like an old western get-up, only with a watch tower on all four sides. And whoever was at the one closest to them must of annocenced Shiira's return as there was a group of people waiting to greet her when she got there. After a breif conversation off to the side she noticed that some were looking at the forest people with warily eyes as they must of noticed Azure's bear claws and their other weird traits. "They're from the forest." Some of the younger people seemed to become more curious while others got more wary.

 

Vincent followed her and dropped down beside her. "Huh, straight for a long time and a right. C'mon, follow me Olive. I hope Alex hasn't killed him yet. I'm sure we could use him alive." He started down the street, keeping his speed to a level at which Olive could follow. His boots pounded the street as he noticed he could see the light glimmer of his golden blood along the wall where they'd turned. He hadn't realized he'd grabbed the wall to turn. He hoped Olive couldn't see his blood. It was a very light golden color.

 

ooc: I have the permission of the thread maker ladeh person to do's this

ic:

"Honey, I'm hooommeee!!!" Alex yelled, kicking open the slightly open door. It hadn't taken much for it to realize that this would have been the first path for him to have taken. Jason must have been in the room due to the many obstacles that would get in Alex's way. There had certainly been one thing that he had heavily underestimated though.
The sound of the door clicking could be heard, followed by a locking noise. "Tsk tsk tsk. And here I thought you would have put up more of a fight." Alex stated. Unexpectedly, the sound of a sword piercing flesh echoed throughout the small warehouse. A blade had sprouted from Alex's arm, through its palm. He sliced a box with it, the blade cutting clean through. "This chase I thought would be so much fun to. But I guess that its worth it. Considering what an amusing end you'll have....you ever hear of gas chambers?" Alex asked, this time the sound of metal being sliced through could be heard, followed by a loud hissing noise. "You're about to find out what its like kid."

 

ooc - giving Jason time to do through this before posting as Olive >w<


Jason couldn't find a way out of the building and ducked into a hiding spot when Alex entered the room. There was only one door... And the hiding did little to help as the gas quickly filled the room and his lungs. He clumsily stumbled over the boxes as he desperately looked for a way out or even a window. Soon his head began to spin and he ended up tripping, landing heavily on the ground.

ooc - blah, my post feel bad in comparison but I dun have much to say >w<"

 

"Heh, you silly humans and your lungs." Alex said as it slowly approached Jason. "You see, I'm going to explain something to you. A little secret. See, you know all of those rumors about Mike being able to make his art come to life? It's partially true but....I suppose one might say that he's better made for correcting God's creations...you understand? Oh hell, who am I kidding, you're practicly unconcious. But oh well. We can chat when you wake up, kay buddy?" Alex said with a wide, friendly smile across its face, as the last sound to be heard within the ware house would be the slicing of Alex's blade against Jasons neck.

 

Olive followed Vincent and soon Alex came into view. Only that Jason was nowhere to be seen. "Did you lose him?" She asked. Or more like she intended to ask. The moment she started to speak was the same moment an explosion went off in the background. She rushed passed Alex and looked over in the direction where it came from, seeing that there was nothing to be done to stop it. "Was... Was he in there?"

 

Vincent stared at the explosion and at Alex, "I can't say I object to your actions, but did he really need to die? He was just a boy Alex." He watched Olive carefully, her distress at the situation was obvious. "Olive...if that's all, we need to be done here." He wanted to get away from the place before people pinned the explosion on them.

 

Mya continued to follow Shiira and Grey. As they reached the town, Mya found it impressive. She believed they lived in caves or huts in some sort. To actually build a town out here in a hellhole was amazing. Nice town you got here.

OOC: Short post is short D8

 

"It would be an honor, though you'd have to tell me what I need to say if anything" Aywa replied straight away, glad to be of use. Although Mattew's hestation did concern her a little but she was good at escaping if things turned sour, or making them forget it had ever happened but hopefully that wouldn't be nessesary. She smiled though, it felt good to have a friendly face to talk to.

 

"Tgh, who said I blew it up. It's not like I did it on purpose. Really, like I'd make a scene." Alex said, a heavy sarcastic tone in its voice. It continued to walk away from what was becoming a much larger fire, no longer concerned with the two ink members. It had seen what it needed to see, and it had done more then was expected. It now had its own chores to do.



"Oh, that parts simple. You just tell him that Michael has a new guy for him. The guy knows that I do this kind of stuff, he just doesn't know who I am. You could say that he's a bit....antisocial, so he's not too easy to deal with. Just give him the message, then-" Mathew started to say, but was cut short, by a large explosion in the background, a mushroom of fire blooming into the air. "Well.....I believe I've found him..." he said. "If you would be so kind, I'd like to get this done as soon as possible. If you'd please." he said with a light smile as he helled out his hand to Amya.

 

ooc - short posts are fine. I think I'll wait for Terra before posting as Shiira though.

I hope everyone is having/had a wonderful Christmas/Holiday <3


Olive's fist clentched and unclentched several times until Alex was gone. She watched the flames, their reflection burning in her eyes. "Dismiss." The letters around her faded until they were gone and she turned to face Vincent with a smile. "Let's go back now." She walked past him, knowing he'd follow, and hurried to get out of there.

 

Vincent sighed and followed her, keeping his dark blue eyes on the passerbyers. Olive would continue to keep her emotions locked behind steel doors. He wondered how much it took for her to break. Dismissing those thoughts with a hard shake of his head he adjusted his coat and let his feet do the walking as he drifted in and out of a normal person's consciousness. Since his connection with Heaven had been severed he felt more inclined to cling to someone.

 

Aywa took his hand with a radient smile, "Of course, it would be my pleasure" Her eyes scanned the area around them, looking if she could see anyone. She was curious to who this man she was delivering to was, and what it was they were delivering. She knew it was none of her buisness but still she wanted to know what the message meant.

 

OOC: Sorry for being inactive. I've been busy and a little too distracted to write anything but now I should be more active.

BIC: In the distance, a fiery plume of smoke could be seen rising up into the air. Moments agos, an explosion went off causing a building fire in the lower level. "Crap!" exclaimed the red-cloaked magus as he was sprinting towards the fire. Who could've done this? thought Ollerus as he ran faster. While approaching closer to the fire, Ollerus started to notice the damage caused to the surrounding areas. Thankfully it seemed like nobody was in danger and that the people of this part of the lower level had already been evacuated. "Looks like nobody's been hurt. That's one worry off my shoulder." said Ollerus as he let out a sigh of relief. Reaching the site of the explosion, Ollerus could see three people, two men and girl, in the distance walking away from the fire. Could they be the Ink member I'm looking for?

 

ooc - no need to apolgize people, I understand. Good to see you two :3


"Did you know, thanks to an Ink member's magic, we never really enter or leave the same shop each time we come down here? Otherwise, our base would of been found a long time ago..." She spoke softly so only Vincent could hear her as she noticed that some people were still around. "And there's a scout with this person who's so good, they can track our every movemont so, if needed, we can go through any door and end back up at base, even if the door isn't attached to anything." Olive's ramblings was to distract herself from any emotion she felt as she made her way to the shop which they came from.


"Thank you." Shiira said to Mya as she returned to the group. She made a gesture and the crowd scattered to return to what they were supposed to be doing. About two remained in the end to make sure that these three didn't do anything to harm Shiira. "Hardly." Shiira answered Grey with a laugh. "Everyone who comes here wants to kill us. You're fine since I arrived with you though." She turned around and examined the town. "Everything seems fine here, so we can leave as soon as possible, or would you want to rest here for a bit and gather some supplies?"

 

Mya scratched her arm. Just for safety, we could use some rest and a resupply since this isn't our usual weather type back there.

 

Vincent nodded along with her, he was half busy keeping a look out. "Olive...why don't we ever get out of the City? Don't you miss the open space and blue skys?" he almost added, I do.. He was starting to feel sentimental about leaving home. "The City's not bad, it's just...seeing wildlife is apart of our lives and with all the buildings around here...I don't know, I feel trapped somehow." He should've shut his mouth sooner, but the words just kept coming out.

 

ooc - Been waiting for Malice and Terra to post but I cannot let this rp die! So posting nao.


She was surprised to hear this from Vincent but her look of shock was soon replaced with a happy one. "I don't think we have any missions for the rest of the day... And we can always report back in later since Alex would of already done so... So sure," She paused to take a deep breath. "I would love to smell the fresh air... Even the air topside is off."



Shiira pointed over to a large building - well, large for the town - and made a gesture to the person standing in front of it. "That's where most of our supplies are kept. You can head over there and look inside. We savage a lot from the cities so you should find everything you need. But for food..." She turned and pointed to a building a little ways down. "There. We use rations, but I'm sure they will make an expection for you."
