Nightshift 25: Soccer/Recreational Field

After closing the door silently behind him, Albel headed further outside as he kept his eyes perked for any noises. For as far as he could see without a flashlight, the field was still empty. No Triangle-face, no monsters, no stupid distractions. GoodThe maggot still had to show up, it seemed. But the Elicoorian was early

The darkness of the night after he stepped outside was rather relaxing, and as the blanket of stars appeared above the knight, the sight went unnoticed as Yuber’s attention searched around for his opponent. He didn’t bother keeping his presence hidden at all, and as his miscoloured eyes fell on their target, Yuber felt his lips twitching up into the beginnings of a satisfied smirk.

‘It seems as though I won’t be disappointed… well not yet at least,’ the knight thought to himself as his sights locked onto his prey.

His movements were silent and graceful as he strolled out towards the middle of the field, and after seeing the glint of silver in the moonlight, Yuber pulled his own bladed weapons out into his hands. Twirling the handles playfully within his grasp, his actions only showed the ease the knight had with his weapons as Yuber approached his opponent.

“It’s such a pleasure to see that you’ve remembered out little date.” He murmured with a smooth purr.

Ah, there the maggot finally was. Albel was beginning to grow impatient (not that it said much, as he wasn't exactly known for his patience). At least the worm had shown up, which meant the captain had yet to be disappointed.

He studied his opponent as he walked to the center of the field. A wicked smirk of his own found its way on the Elicoorian's lips, as his crimson eyes gleamed with the excitement of the battle that was to come.

"Ha, as if I would miss this little opportunity. I am quite surprised you had decided to come here, though It seems you're not the cowardly worm I thought you were, after all." he replied, smirk widening. "Though you're still a worm." He would cross his arms if he was able to do so with merely one arm.

"So, shall we get this over with, fool? I haven't come here for a stupid conversation, you know." he shifted into something that would be a battle pose.

"Try not to squirm too fast, though. You won't be any fun if you do."

The Chaotic energies he could feel on the air were exhilarating to say the least, and as he caught the rather wicked expression on his opponents face, the black knight found his mood growing far more entertained. It almost seemed as though this human could provide him with an actual challenge, even despite the fact that they were only in possession of one arm

Albel tightened the grip on his own knife, crimson eyes slightly narrowing as his opponent suddenly leaped forward, a glint of silver heading straight for his chest. The captain immediately jumped backwards, feeling the blade brush against his chest. A close call...this maggot seemed to be fast on his feet.

Almost immediately, the Elicoorian lunged forward to his opponent's right, lashing out with his knife.

Traversing through the hall, Suigintou emerged outside, much to her surprise. Except for two males, who seemed to be about to fight each other (typical human behavior); the area was mostly vacated and empty.

She was not expecting to encounter such an open space so quickly. Perhaps now would be the perfect time for that experiment she had thought up before. The doll flapped her wings and tried to become airborne. But unfortunately, she couldn’t even lift herself a few inches off the ground. A not-so-welcome hindrance from her new, heavier body, she was certain.

If flying was not possible then perhaps…

Unlike before, her newest trial was met with some success, if only minimal. On command, Suigintou had managed to extend the reach of her wings by several feet. Not at all close to what they were truly capable of, but it was a start, at least.

So many new discoveries in such a short amount of time!

And suddenly Naoya recognized the recreational field he, Takaya and Ren had spoken with in (each in their own respective times). It wasn't the same as it was before, the pervading darkness casting a cold blanket over Naoya's shoulders and leaving him shivering.

This really wasn't the best place to be.

He had to get out of here. Turning abruptly to the left once more, Naoya hurried along, feeling the wall with the hand holding the map until suddenly there was no longer a wall, but a door. Success! Jerking the door open quickly, Naoya hurried inside, gasping softly as the pressure on his chest and shoulders faded.

Jumping down the wall to land softly on the grass, Cloud looked around the large field that he was now standing it. He walked a few paces away from the wall deeper into the field, swiveling the blade he had made around his hand to get used to the feeling of it being there.

He noted a fight going on in the middle of the field, and he also noted someone apparently flying. Given that their clothing looked as equally gray as his own, he took a risk in thinking that they may all be from the same place. That meant there was a higher probability that he could find some answers finally. All he wanted to know was where he was in relation to where he remembered he should be.

Walking forward, he stopped to lean against a metal post at one end of the field. He felt the weight in his makeshift bag at his back and wondered how long these people had been out here. This was a much better place to observe others.

By now the patients should have learned that making a ruckus anywhere would be rewarded with unwanted attention. Unfortunately for Cloud, the attention shifted from the battle to the lone figure observing from a distance. The dogs loped in from the woods at night, rotting flesh showing through patches of mangy fur as the moonlight glinted in their red eyes, seeking prey that wandered too far away from the Institute. The two dogs approached from the side, low growls announcing their presence as they began to circle him. Lately, they hadn't been able to catch people out this far and that meant they were hungry and more vicious than usual.

Watching the fight, Cloud found that the darkness did well to mask some of the skills of the two opponents. It seemed that they were both good. He could only hope that fighting was not common practice as a greeting in this place… wherever that was.

Turning his head a little, he spied the two large canine’s approaching. Somehow, this was not something he was surprised by, and he casually pushed off the goalpost he had been leaning on to give himself a little distance to swing the makeshift blade in his hand. There were a little more rotten than he was used to, but he was certain that they would take damage like all the others.

He set himself, dropping the pack to the ground at his feet as he held the mower blade in one hand. He glanced between the pair, waiting to see what they planned on doing… aside from eating him, that was.

Barret had taken the entire day to himself, to calm the raging, bloodthirsty thoughts that were beginning to run through his mind. He needed silence for the day, away from any and all distractions. He was close to ripping the head clean from his nurses' body had she remained in his presence a few moments longer when he banished her from his company. He would not need escorting that day--he didn't plan to leave the room

Leon froze, his head just barely poking from around the door, as he surveyed the scene before him. There were certainly people here, but none that he recognized.

He hesitated to attract any attention. He didn't know who these people were, after all. Aside from that, there was a good deal of fighting going on. He'd hate for anyone to get angry with him for being a distraction. But it was so important that he figure out what was going on!

Who could he stop to ask questions to? Should he talk to any of them at all? Perhaps it would be best if he just made his way along the wall and tried to find someplace safer.

My, my, what a mess! He'd come out into the open without hesitation, appreciating how moonlight made it easier for his poor new eyes to see. People fighting dogs... people fighting people... it was a fairly pleasant evening, all things considered, and he smiled at the tableau.

None of them were likely to provide answers, though, and so Xelloss turned to the young man he'd passed crouched in the doorway, leaning down a bit to be closer to face-to-face. "Hello, I don't suppose you know where we are?"

[heraldric]

Turning slowly to look up at this newcomer, Leon could only shake his head. This young man didn't know where he was either? What did that mean? What was all of this?

"I was going to ask someone..." he started, voice somewhat shaken. "I don't know how I got here. We were fighting..." He swallowed. What was this cowardly tone he had? How disgraceful.

He stood up a bit straighter, his expression becoming more serious and the tone in his voice when he spoke more stern (although for someone his age and size that wasn't saying much). "My name is Leon. Who are you?"

[enigmaticmedium]

The child was scared, which was understandable and felt pleasant. It was good to know he at least was still that much Mazoku.

"It's a pleasure to meet you!" Xelloss smiled a fraction too close to Leon's face, still bent down towards him. "I am Xelloss, the mysterious priest!" He backed off after that--the child was more than frightened enough and Xelloss didn't want to scare him away.

"It seems that we're both in search of the same thing. Would you care to travel together?" Having a child along who wasn't Hellmaster would be convinient... possibly warding off any fights until he had answers, and giving him a rather kind air. He gave Leon his best friendly smile.
