[silence for some time before the sound of someone taking a heavy breath]

You're wrong. I'm not--

I won't. I'm not a demon.

[silence again]

I TOLD YOU, I'M A HUMAN. I didn't--

[this time it's a shaky breath while Hamel just. Listens.]

SHUT UP-- [there's a crack as the device is thrown down]

[ooc; And it begins. Feel free to join in

[Chrono had planned on hiding out in his room for most of the day until he heard the strange voice post--something about a "demon". The post made him uneasy. Something seemed very, very wrong with this situation. And, of course, with Remington around, he wouldn't let him just ignore the situation. Chrono grabbed a bottle of holy water with Remington's urging, then rushed out into the snow, spread his wings and flew into the air. He focused his senses and tried to see if he could pick up something, anything amiss.]

[action] HI HALEY <3

[epicviolinist]

[Oh, something was definitely amiss all right. Hamel had single-handedly destroyed an outskirt exit of Xanadu and a small pathway while fighting Squall and chasing Timothy.and was making his way to the beach. There's a nice blood trail to follow too. He didn't want this. He didn't want any of it, Chestra just-- The asshole wouldn't leave him be and now he was stuck fighting these humans that weren't in any danger to begin with until they tried to fight him.]

[action] HIYA! <3 Sorry I'm late, I spent most of today hanging out with Dad

[tenmorehours]

[The blood shows up niiice and bright against the snow, of course, so Chrono's eyes catch it and he quickly starts to follow the trail. Those sharp eyes widen when they catch sight of the figure the blood leads to. That's definitely a demon--the horns gave away that much.]

Remington, he's there! ... Can't tell if it's his or a victim's.

[And he starts to fly down towards the other demon, being cautious not to appear threatening at first but to not let down his guard.]

Hey!

[action] IT'S OKAY! I'll just assume this is the last encounter of the post. ;A;

[epicviolinist]

[Wow, the first one to show up not ready to attack on sight. Hamel watched it quietly, claws ready. He couldn't trust humans, nor could he trust demons. He knew it so he had to be ready.]

[action] Righty-o~!

[tenmorehours]

[Chrono quietly lands in front of him, stopping a few feet away. He shivers and instantly regrets not bringing anything to keep himself warm, but he tries to not let it show in his voice as he speak, his voice taking on a cautious tone.]

You're...a demon, aren't you? Did you hurt someone? Or...did they hurt you?

[action] and jflaksdjf orz he doesn't... talk 8|

[epicviolinist]

[He was still keeping a cautious watch on this one. But after everything through the evening? Hamel honestly looks like shit, with gashes and cuts everywhere. It was hard to tell what was skin and what was blood if one tried to look. But he wasn't cold; the adrenaline had kept him warm this whole time.

He seems to hesitate a minute, as if hearing something in the distance. I'm not going to kill anyone, so shut up. I'm not you.]

[action] Thought that might be the case. =D;;; Chrono's thinking he's a CC!Demon of some sort.

[tenmorehours]

[After a moment, Chrono takes a few slow steps forward--and then realizes that all the red isn't the color of his armor or anything, but blood. He cringes. That answers his question, but...]

Can't you speak? Why aren't your legions healing you? You have your horns...

[action] fjalkdfj Chronoooo ;_;

[epicviolinist]

...

[He still doesn't trust whoever this is and when Chrono steps closer, Hamel steps back. What was he talking about, legions? Demon legions don't heal, they attack for you so you don't have to waste your own time. And what did these filthy horns have to do with it?]

[action]

[tenmorehours]

[He stops coming closer as soon as Hamel steps away.]

I don't want to hurt you. I just want to help. If you haven't attacked anyone, I don't have any reason to be your enemy.

[After he says that, he jumps a little and turns to look over his shoulder, then speaks softly as if he's speaking to someone else.]

I don't know. Maybe he's a lower-ranked demon? But he doesn't look low rank. ... I guess he could be from another world, but he just looked so similar. ... Dunno. If he won't let me help...

[action]

[epicviolinist]

[But I have-- I didn't mean-- Chestra's spirit was still whispering in his ears, urging him on. He didn't want to do anything; he knelt down covering his ears. Chrono's whispers were mixing with Chestra's and it was confusing him. JUST SHUT UP! A wave of energy blasted out and surrounded him in his own defense.]

[action]

[tenmorehours]

[Chrono growls and brings up his wings and arms to shield himself, then hisses with pain. He has no idea what set the other demon off, but his frustration is starting to get the better of him as he stalks forward.]

STOP IT! I'm trying to help you!

[action]

[epicviolinist]

[He couldn't hear what the other was saying, but Hamel could tell he was yelling something and coming to him now.

..Of course. This was the perfect opportunity for any demon to get rid of the King's successor. That must've been the plan all along. No one is trustworthy. Raiel and Sizer and the others aren't even here. I'm just-- The energy subsided. He didn't want to die here, but Flute. Where was she? It only dawned on him now that she hadn't been around. She could've helped him, like last time. Maybe she'd given up on him. He sat where he was, trying to think and ignore Chestra beside him.]

[action]

[tenmorehours]

[Chrono continues to step forward and reaches out his hand towards Hamel's arm--ignoring Remington's protests behind him.]

Just let me...

[action]

[epicviolinist]

[Don't touch me! That got Hamel's immediate attention and he snapped his arm back, the spike in his elbow aimed for Chrono. He was a monster, no one should touch a monster. He didn't like being touched, and Chestra laughing all around him was only making things worse.]

[action]

[tenmorehours]

[Chrono jerks back and dodges to the side, bringing up his claws to strike at him, his instincts taking over and urging him to kill or be killed, his eyes glowing--and the ghost of Remington shouting behind him constantly pulling him back.]

NO! You can't let yourself give into your rage!

I don't even know if he can hear me! He'll hurt me or someone else!

There has to be some way! THINK, Chrono!

[action]

[epicviolinist]

[He knew it. All the time, even this one who looked peaceful enough was ready to kill. It was always the same. Hamel couldn't die, so he'd have to fight. He readied his own claws, up on his feet to attack the other demon head on.]
