Vergil was on the move. The hotel could only hold his interest for so long and it was high time he went to explore his new, unwanted surroundings more. Obviously the train station wasn't coming back. And no form of his current hodgepodge of magic was going to fix that.

Still annoyed with this fact, he was eagerly hoping to find a library some time soon. He'd explored a little bit in the past few days but nothing so far had caught his attention. As he walked he noticed the unusual movements of the girl--like a marionette, he mused.

Normally nothing of this sort would catch much less hold his attention for any length of time, but there were at least two reasons it did this time: he had nothing better to do; and, more interestingly, he happened to catch her directly in the act of "scribbling" her artwork. It was the musical detail that truly caught his attention. What was this all about?

Nill didn't show any signs of having even seen Vergil. She continued on a ways, beginning an ark around Cadenza Ostinato. Eventually she stopped and pulled out her cans again, painting a quite vulgar insult about Ostinato this time, going for vibrant colors which would easily catch anyone's eye rather than a detailed work of art.

Which was exactly how Vergil would have preferred it anyway. Except that he knew he wasn't trying to be covert and if she were doing something that was going to get her in trouble like this...shouldn't she have been paying a little more to her surroundings? Again, he was intrigued.

But her next work lessen his interest, as he had no use for vulgar insults written in graffiti. Disappointed, his pace slowed although he wasn't quite finished stalking her just yet.

Nill continued in her ark, navigating through the streets and winding alleys as if she was born there. Her tone was clearly sticking out of her pocket, however. Her next piece was simply "Madrigal," elegantly painted onto the wall of an older and more stately building. The script and colors almost radiated prestige and pride. A smile hovered on her face which seemed completely detached from everything else, almost as if someone had forced it on there.

Madrigal, the half-devil thought to himself upon seeing the word so elegantly written. So that was the point of all this nonsense, was it? Hadn't he heard about the two warring houses? So was that all this was? Some petty design to denote the one and promote the other?

How dull.

His steps quickened and it didn't take long for his long strides to convey him to her. He grabbed her by the arm and twisted--not entirely gently--to face him. "What is this nonsense?" He didn't have time for this. He shouldn't have been interested in the first place.

But damn if he wasn't going to get an answer anyway.

Nill was far from strong in the first place, but her jerky movements undermined her intended action, making it fairly ineffective. She continued her efforts in an almost mechanical way, each successive pull no stronger than the previous. She never actually looked at Virgil though, as if she didn't actually realize he was there.

Little, little marionette. It was sing-sung in his head as his eyes narrowed dangerously at the girl in his grasp, a phrase he vaguely remembered someone using when he was doing research on the low-level demons of the same name. He couldn't shake the feeling of familiarity yet he knew this was not the work of a demon. If it was, where was it hiding and why couldn't he sense it? No, it was not a demon.

He tugged her backwards further and made her fully face him, grabbing her with his other hand on the opposite side and giving her a brief shake. "Answer me, girl."

silentbutwinged July 21 2009, 04:14:40 UTC

Nill did nothing other than continue her escape efforts in the same manner as before, though there was a strange sort of hesitation occasionally, as if a random thought of 'why am I doing this?' passed through her head for a second.

ultravioletnite July 21 2009, 06:00:55 UTC

After a moment Vergil's grip lessen as though his impatience fading out into disinterest but though one hand let go completely the other was still not loose enough for her to wrest free. He stared down at her blankly, almost bored-like.

Then suddenly his grip tightened--probably would leave a nice bruise, poor dear--and his eyes glowed an unnatural bright blue for a second. "Tell me." He growled in a wholly guttural tone.

He was no Jedi, but his demonic influence--his presence, aura if you will--might help snap her out of it just a bit. It all depended...

silentbutwinged July 22 2009, 22:38:58 UTC

Nill finally looked at Vergil, though her face was blank for a few seconds. Then she gave him a very confused and somewhat dazed look. Everything seemed suddenly sharp and new, as if she hadn't been seeing her surroundings or him before. No, she didn't even remember how she got there or what he was doing there.

ultravioletnite July 23 2009, 02:52:48 UTC

Vergil's eyes stayed locked onto Nill's face as he simply examined her like some bug beneath a microscope. Truly, he couldn't care less about her fate. But he was still curious as to the power that had been controlling her.

His grip lessened again so that, perhaps, she would be more willing to talk. "Now that you're back from limbo..." His tone wasn't friendly but it wasn't necessarily unfriendly either. It just...was. "Perhaps you'll answer my questions now? If you even can." He frowned, now aware that most likely she was completely useless to him. "What were you doing?" he asked anyway.

silentbutwinged July 23 2009, 07:19:23 UTC

Nill didn't move for a few seconds. She was too busy trying to figure out where she even was. She had some vague recollection of walking, but little else. She didn't have a clue as to why she was here, or what was happening. She gave a bewildered shake of her head eventually.

ultravioletnite July 25 2009, 04:19:43 UTC

Vergil sighed in as much frustration and annoyance as reluctant defeat. It was a fruitless endeavor to continue down this path; he would neither get any answers nor it seemed any useful details. The girl was obviously disoriented, and therefore useless to him.

Still, he tried one last time. "You don't remember anything." It was a statement rather than a question, however.

silentbutwinged July 25 2009, 05:42:03 UTC

Nill hesitated before answering. She had a thousand questions, but no way of asking them in her condition. She simply nodded in response.

ultravioletnite July 26 2009, 05:33:06 UTC

Annoyed, but having no real reason to destroy that which frustrated him, the half-devil simply let go of Nill as his attention focused elsewhere. "Very well," he whispered, seemingly more to himself than to the girl in front of him. After a silent moment he began to move off with a small frown of contemplation etched on his features.
