Night

[whereismypizza]

[Dante was traveling with Rain back to the Sector 4 Apartments. They had just left the Twins Nightclub where they were visiting Fai at work. Rain normally doesn't like traveling at night but really, he was not sober enough to care at the moment. Dante did wonder what Fai mixed them that made Rain so smashed but ahahaha he forgot that train of thought pretty quickly himself.

Rain was leaning heavily on Dante's shoulder, and the two were definitely not walking in a straight line.]

It's fine, if we see any monsters, I'll just run them through.

[And Rain wasn't going to argue, so the pair managed to wander a few blocks before the first Darkness sent its first minion at them.

A tall Grunder lumbered in their path.]

Okay, time for me to do some work.

[Dante guided Rain to a relatively hidden corner and then approached the monster. He wasn't so smashed that his vision was impaired, so he did in fact see the metallic glint on the Grunder's skin, but it did not register as anything special to him. He simply took out his handguns and

Night

Rain was all too willing to sit down in the secluded trash heap where Dante steered him, and in fact kept enjoying himself singing the pop song Fai's club had been playing earlier, totally unaware of Dante's fight.

"Caught inna badwomansh, want yo badromansh~! BWAH?!"

Unaware at least until Dante came flying into the trash heap wtih him.

"Howarya flyihng? Come shing wiz me!"

Well, ok, he was still completely unaware of the Grunder.

[whereismypizza]

"Get out of here!" Dante regained his balance quickly enough for having downed a few drinks. He shoo'd Rain away from him, as the monster was pretty intent on getting a piece of him and it wouldn't do to have Rain get tangled in it.

"Why is this thing so much more annoying than usual," grumbled Dante, completely willing to blame the drinks he accepted against his better judgement instead of strange metallic mutations the Grunder was sporting.

Not only was he feeling slower compared to the thing, he felt his attacks were barely hurting it. Only the quickest and hardest of his attacks seemed to have any effect at all. And seriously, did these things always hit so hard?

Dante did manage to push Rain out of the way before the Grunder closed in on him. It made a vicious swipe at the demon hunter, but Dante deflected it with his sword. Then he pulled out one of his guns and opened fire at the Grunder's small head. Point blank.

At that moment, a gasp softly rung out, only a short distance away from the two men

i finally get to use this icon XD

And right at that moment, Rain aimed a kick right at the Skuller Mutt's rib-cage, sending it flying through the air and into a wall, where it bounced and then fell into a dumpster, probably unconscious. He felt a little sorry for it; perhaps he'd gone overboard, being inebriated and all, but at least the lady was alright.

"Miss, what are you doing out here all by yourself?" He asked Caster, voice chiding and concerned at the same time.

[whereismypizza]

"Oh sure, of course you get your head cleared when there's a lady to rescue," teased Dante from a distance away where he had felled the Grunder. "Obviously that's much more important than, I don't know, rescuing yourself."

[violins_rain]

"You were doing fine on your own!"

[whereismypizza]

"And you managed to figure that out through your inebriated singing? I'm impressed!"

Do we have a posting order? :o

[boundbytreason]

Caster’s hands lowered and disappeared into the folds of her robe as she patiently waited for the two to finish their exchange. She wasn’t a rude person by heart, and she would simply permit them to speak without interruption until there was an acceptable intermission - as it was now.

"My apologies if I’ve troubled either of you," she stated, a note of sincerity curving the gentle lilt of her voice. "You have my thanks." Appreciation warmed her voice and brought a smile to her lips. "I was simply on my way back, but it seems like the Darkness set upon the day faster than I expected." The soft purr of a chuckle, made pleasantly at her own expense, punctuated her remark. "It is my own miscalculation, so I only have myself to blame."

For a short moment, she paused, her hood concealing a gaze that flickered between both of them in brief assessment. "But," she deliberated with concern, "are both of you alright yourselves?" It was a question not only regarding their welfare after facing a monster but their intoxicated state as well

Nope!

"Better than you were about to be," commented Dante, not very tactfully. He holstered his guns with a satisfied click. If he was injured he would have already healed by now, and even then it was probably inconsequential and not nearly bad enough for him to have taken notice. He didn't know enough about the metallic infection being contagious to worry about it.

[violins_rain]

Rain frowns a bit at his companion's bluntness, but does diffuse Caster's concerns.

"We're alright. Got a little carried away there, but thanks for asking. We really should get going though. Where do you live, miss?"

[boundbytreason]

The silver-haired man's words does remove Caster's smile for a moment as well, but it soon returns upon hearing the other speak.

"The Tower Apartments," she answered, simply. "Do the two of you live there as well?"

[whereismypizza]

"We're headed there. Want to come with us? The monsters are a bit rowdy today."

[boundbytreason]

"Certainly," she replied, with a light inclination of her head. "If it doesn't trouble you, then I shall accept your kind offer."

[violins_rain]

Rain smiles bracingly, "It's no trouble at all, but the faster we get there, the better off we'll be."

And then, as if to prove how right he is, the sound of countless wings fills the air. Out of the dark sky, grotesque half-bodies materialize, descending on the trio upon greasy, dripping wings: a mob of Icarus. Mixed in with the Icarus, small Parrotsquid flash like darts of silver, using the larger monsters as shields from which to attack.

One Parrotsquid manages to clip Rain in the face, raking out a long line of red in his skin. Instinctively, he clutches at it with his hand, but as he pulls it away, he notices flaky silver dust glittering in his blood.

"What the?"

[boundbytreason]

With her eyes concealed, the brief parting of lips served as the only indication of Caster's surprise. Extending a darkly gloved hand, the folds of her robe fluttered like the bluish-purple wings of a butterfly as she silently conjured three, individual barriers for them.

However, she wasn't quick enough for Rain, leading to the injury he received just then. Nevertheless, it was there now, and it would protect each of them from only one attack. While she could certainly recast it, she didn't want to spend all evening on the defense. Although she could switch to the offense, she decided to leave that field to them.

Glancing over at the wounded man, she asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
