!! Random Encounter !!

Feb 23, 2010 13:45

Vincent landed in a crouch, the sugar and butter only slowing him down for the first second or two. Cerberus was useless covered in sweet smelling slime as it was, but he still pointed his gun around the room warily, then lowered and placed it in the holster strapped to his thigh. He didn't remember this place, but it was familiar ( Read more... )

"At least you arrived with your clothes," I say, leaning against the wall. My hand is loose at my side, ready to go for my gun at the small of my back if I need to. "Most of those who arrive here this way are missing their clothes."

Vincent's eyes darted over to the blond. He surveyed him for a moment. His Turk training kicked in all at once, even though he'd hadn't been a Turk in over 30 years. Concealed weapon, well trained in combat. Caution advised.

And then there was the matter of arriving in his clothes. If it was unusual, then the reason for it must have been because his clothes, like his cloak, were soul-bound. They made up Chaos' armour and Galian Beat's only clothing amongst other things.

It was penance, to bear such monstrous curiosities.

"I am not most people," he said eventually. His eyes wandered, though he kept the boy before him. "This place is familiar..."

"You've been here before. That's what arriving here means. No one knows why people arrive, leave, or come back." It's obvious he's had some training...probably a lot and had seen combat. "This place is called Hogwarts. It's a school for magic, supposedly."

"Why do you need a gun at a school for magic?" he asked, tilting his head at him. The idea of magic wasn't too preposterous for him. It only needed a little tweaking from the concept of materia.

And that, somehow, clicked into place subconsciously as well. He frowned, then looked down at his cloak. he began working the belts holding it closed with his flesh hand, his leather glove making it somewhat slippery and harder that it should have been. He wasn't going to take him gauntlet off to have the use of his other hand either (it wasn't really his anyway, Hojo had taken that from him when he'd shot him). he looked up to the boy as he worked, studying his body language for signs of hostility.

[[OOC: FUCK.]]

Matt's eyes bugged out. Of course he recognized Vincent! What self respecting video gamer hadn't played Final Fantasy 7?

But yeah, best to keep the squeeing to himself. Vincent is real. And armed.

"Welcome back, I suppose."

He looked at Matt, tilted his head a little and then acknowledged him with a nod. He spent a moment inspecting his gun. Cerberus was well and truly useless. All three barrels were full of the gunk he was covered in. He'd have to clean it later.

"Yeah, that's a problem everyone has if they come through the popcorn room. Butter and salt everywhere. You're lucky though. Some of them don't even have clothes."

beyourvalentine February 24 2010, 00:34:11 UTC

At least it gave him something to do, but he didn't think Cerberus had ever been in such bad disrepair. He'd have to clean the bullets individually. "Is it possible to get bullets?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at the boy.

He surveyed him while he was at it.

((You make me so mad that Kurama's monogamous. You do remember I ship my Vincent and Youko action figures, right?))

Something in the popcorn room smelled like a demon. While Kurama knew that didn't mean anything, and knew that no one he remembered from his homeworld (no one demonic, anyway) had popped, he still peeked in with a little bit of hope.

Alas, in vain. Interesting man, though. Human, and... other things. He worried, briefly, for his own safety when he noticed the Big Fucking Gun holstered to the guy's hip. After that, he wondered if he looked anything like what a guy packing that kind of heat hunted. Maybe he should run and scream.

"Nice arm," he said instead, noticing the glint of metallic gold. "Biomechanical, or just fancy armer?"

beyourvalentine February 27 2010, 13:18:13 UTC

(Oh, I remember, haha. I propose an orgy with my Sephiroth and Kurama action figures. Mmmm.)

Vincent shrank into himself, barely managing to not bodily react to the question. He turned and looked at the...man the voice had come from. He wouldn't call him a man really. He looked like something that would walk out of Hojo's lab. Galian stirred at the sight of him. Vincent wasn't sure why.

"Armour," he replied eventually, his tone even. It was mostly true anyway. It was Chaos' arm in place of his own, and Chaos had natural armour.

He watched him warily over the high collar of his cloak, his lips pulling down slightly.

serrulata February 27 2010, 13:24:31 UTC

Kurama's eyes settled on said arm with a bit more scrutiny. After a moment, he looked back up at the guy. "I'll accept that answer. Are you informed?"

He could smell something... like the sound of a warning growl. He wasn't sure he liked it.

beyourvalentine February 27 2010, 13:33:00 UTC

His frown deepened. "I remember small fragments. Is there something else I need to be informed off other than which house I am in and the current date?"

His eyes rose to his ears, watched them for subtle movements that would prove they were natural.
