[TRAINING] Defensive Physical/Spectral [Arena]

Dec 11, 2007 18:47

"Residents," the Warden called, managing to be heard about the general noise of the assembled crowd without seeming to raise his voice at all. "Those whom have gathered here should be assigned to the DEFENSIVE COMBAT training division. If you are not part of this group, you are in the incorrect designated area ( Read more... )

How dull. Training time. Goodie, Goodie. The demon was less than impressed but no matter. No matter. With little else to do he may as well relish in the opportunity to defend as what great and nobel honor such a thing would truely be. Not he was just bullshitting with himself. More honestly it was a perfect opportunity to see exactly what they were going against and exactly what leverage these cuffs gave when in situations as such. Furthermore perhaps some good opportunity to crush things. In the art of defence, of course.

The sound of silk - fine reds to be exact - and shimmer of gold and metal rang through the halls with slow and almost elegant movements. A figure sunkissed golden skin with but the bottom hanging low upon his hips and golden clasps and jewels came forth into the area. He didn't bother to forward or greet much of anything else having no interest in the useless welps about him so far. Instead, Shukaku for now stayed silently by the back.

Elda was beyond annoyed. She was cranky and half-asleep and had to pull on a thick cloak to block out the sun, her umbrella being used to block out the sun.

Once she stepped into the Arena, however, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the sun's effects on her were negated. The general feeling of being too warm was still there, but it wasn't unbearable and the burns she at the seams of her cloak where she couldn't block out the sun were beginning to heal.

Huh. That was interesting. At least she knew she could be SOMEWHERE in the sun around here if she needed to.

So, to business! A group. Group. Group. Group. Group!

"You! You're with me!" she declared, latching onto the first person that she saw - which happened to be Shukaku.

The room was quite full of unique scents. However at this moment the redhead was not dwelling on diner. Hueless eyes making no appointed contact with anything and merely watching over the croud for now. A not so pleased or enchanted look upon his face.

Mm.. he could go for some nice sake right now. Shukaku mused running slender golden digits over an opposing collar bone and paying little to no attention to this filth about him. That, or a nice nap. Ah but both would be even better.

It was within those musings he heard a sound closing in and clasped around his waist. Shukaku looked down to a female around him. He had at this moment little quarrels about such contact. Something about her seemed.. different.

"So it would seem," he mused with a voice smooth and deep as ember.

Wow! She'd latched onto a cutie! He wasn't up to the same standards as James had been, but he was tolerable she guessed. And she couldn't sense too much love in him, so he was either something a few degrees away from human in the biological sense or a complete and total sociopath.

Elda could deal with that. Right now she was basking in the fact the Arena was letting her walk in the sun itself. So she took a step back from him and let her coat and hat and gloves fall to the ground as she pulled them off and tossed them about carelessly, figuring she would leave when the sun went down and it was safe.

"Elda Marker, at your service," she introduced herself with a flourished bow and then span in place, bbasking in the sunlight she hadn't been in since she was a very little girl.

Elda he mused and spoke soon there after with a greeting,

"Dear Elda."

He recalled this name from when he first arrived here in Econtra. That would be why there was something quite different about her. He heard the term; vampire. Loosely thrown about when addressing this one here. The reference he was unaware of but sense it was not human it didn't need much expansion. With her welcoming and speach he didn't need much further information upon the subject.

A smile edged his lips. Fanciful one she was.

"Shukaku," those fingers dropped. Long black claws wrapped about his hips, "I do believe we have spoken."

There was no question about Yamaraja's place. As soon as he knew that Shukaku and he were both in the Defensive division, he knew that he must be at his master's side. With soft barefoot steps he entered the Arena, still adorned in crimson silk and gold jewelry, less a warrior and more a prince, but he was not concerned. Whatever happened, Shukaku would protect him. Until he was strong enough on his own, he had the power of the sand demon behind him.

He came to a halt at his master's side and gave the vampire a mildly curious glance but did not speak.

And here was something else just a few degrees from human, but close enough that - damn he was lucky she was keeping herself well-fed or she would have sunk her teeth into him right then.

Elda guessed she would just have to feed a little more often. If they were all going to work together, they were going to have to trust one another. How could they trust her if she went berserk on one of them.

"Finally!" she told Shukaku after a moment to regain her senses, "We meet in person!"

Then her attention was back on Yama and she clasped her hands behind her back, leaning close to him.

"Who are you, cupcake ~" she asked him with a fanged grin.

Beyond Birthday had been scrounging around for pills to overdose on when his cuff knocked him out.

A brief snooze later and he was called out to the Training Ground despite the fact that he had THOUGHT he had registered as "Conscientious Objector"

"War was return of earth to ugly earth, war was foundering of sublimities," he muttered to himself as he edged his way over to a man in black. The letters floating over him read "Achmed".

"Are we allowed bathroom breaks?" Beyond asked with a note of despair. He did not seem to immediately notice L was present. But where L was, he would be, as if by law of gravitational force.

He knew little of what carried her on throughough the day. Something akin to his own meal. In that case he too wondered how what they were expecting should these cuffs come undone or deactivate. It wasn't a thought that he worried about however. He quite very much enjoyed it. While he was unaware of Elda's intentions should she be released it would be well promised that should she come near breath and place but one finger or fang upon that white skin she would most definately not get very far. Either by restriction of his own or of Yama's himself.

Speeking of which.. and now this was interesting. He would have thought that Yama would have chosen a more intellectual path. Not that defensive was brock and no brains. Combat, particularely defence, took a good amount of strategy. Nonetheless he was more than pleased. Interested in what would transpire as time progressed. The redhaired demon said nothing. Merely watching Elda, and tipping his head towards the boy, and furthermore towards a new pressence in which came forth looking ( ... )

Now Beyond noticed Shukaku. And of course L. No.

Yamaraja.

He looked at each of them for a moment then looked away. Whenever he saw L he felt a stab of agony through his very soul. He was part of a discarded and forgotten past.

Beyond wiggled each finger and said audibly. "The Past is dead, and has no resurrection; but the Future is endowed with such a life, that it lives to us even in anticipation. The Past is, in many things, the foe of mankind; the Future is, in all things, our friend."

He was The Past. He was The Past.

"In the Past is no hope; The Future is both hope and fruition. The Past is the text-book of tyrants; the Future is the Bible of the Free."

He looked directly at Shukaku and Yamaraja.

"Worry not, worry not, I am not here to train. I fully intend to be killed in the next attack."

(OoC: Please pay attention to the posting order you guys)

Elda was busy trying to wrestle down her hunger with the new boy who had arrived.

Dangit! Did all the people that insanely in love with someone gravitate towards her or this guy or - ARGH! This wasn't fair! She should have gone out to eat last night!

"Sugar, what are you talk - "

And then ANOTHER loving guy showed up and she was ready to bang her head against the wall or jump whichever one attempted to piss her off more.

"Hi, Kitten," she said weakly, gripping her arms around her stomach as it began to growl.

DANGIT!!!

((OOC: Skipping Shukaku's turn just for this round so I can catch up.))

Mildly alarmed by the attentions of this vampire, Yama's eyes widened as he regarded her warily. He'd heard about this one and suspected he knew why she would find him so very interesting. The love in his heart was so powerful that sometimes he himself was overwhelmed by it.

"Please call me Yama," he replied to Elda softly. The sand in the glass vial around his neck stirred, perhaps in response to his uneasiness.

The sound of Beyond's voice pulled him away from the minor concern that he might be a vampire's next meal. Yama turned to look at the boy who was his copy in life. The words Beyond spoke stung him. He could not bear the thought of losing any of his children. "You will not be killed," Yama murmured, "because I will not allow it."

Beyond walked over to Yama and placed his hands on either side of his face. Then, leaning in, he placed his lips upon his mirror's, a gesture that deepened into another passionate kiss.

He ran a hand down Yama's side and, when he finally broke for air he said softly. "I will die protecting you, L."

Then Achmed spoke and he glanced back. He could not help but feel he could grow to like this guy.

"Whatever - Kitten," Elda laughed at Achmed to distract herself from her hunger.

It didn't help the new loving arrival had decided to kiss the wannabe prettyboy. That just made her internal radar go nuts and her stomach growl again.

Hopefully they'd get to fight soon. She knew she wasn't anywhere near hungry enough to go berserk, but a good scrap was always good when she didn't want to feed.

"Sugar ~, Cupcake ~," she began in a sing-song voice, "Cut it out!"
