14th oath of the moment: Legion of One

[lunawolves10th]

11 PM, backdated to Wednesday night. Action 1, locked to 2237 Stevens Residents: [ Garviel awakens after a day of droning, and the awakening is not a gentle one. A yell of pain can be heard, and then silence, aside from his heavy steps as he descends the stairs of the home and swiftly armors himself in his Astartes plate without a word to anyone

[Someone else with red eyes winds up crossing paths with Garviel as he makes his way to his own house. Yuri is somewhat oblivious to the change in the giant's demeanor.]

'Evening, humongous.

[lunawolves10th]

[ The hulk stares at Yuri for a long time, nonplussed by those words. ]

Humongous? [ It finally rumbles ]

[bitemescumbag]

Errh... That's what I've been callin' you, isn't it? Whenever I don't use your name anyway.

[His "something is amiss senses" finally start ticking a bit, though he doesn't show it on the outside. Nonchalant as always.]

Everything alright, Garviel?

[lunawolves10th]

[ His mind goes down a list of names, and finally sets on one. ] Yuri, no, no it is not. I had a purpose once more... and my re-imprisonment here has thwarted it. I must find a way home.

[It's a hulking suit of armor.

It's got red eyes.

It's probably the most powerful thing he's ever seen, and he's seen Yoshitsuna.

You bet he's coming over. Mostly to ask questions and drool.]

[lunawolves10th]

[ The huge figure just stares at him in a menacing manner, analyzing the possible threat. For the moment it doesn't greet the approaching person, just glaring. Up closer there is only one non-removed piece of iconography on it, the sign of the new moon below the left eyepiece. ]

[demonoaths]

[If he feels any fear, he doesn't show it, instead drooling like an idiot. See, this is what happens when you show off something with a ton of potential power in front of him.]

Such power...I wonder what would happen if I still had my title and my powers...

[lunawolves10th]

What are you babbling about, mortal?

[lunawolves10th]

[ Garviel hears the explosion, and even through his helm scents the stink of the burning tree, the taint of psyker power. He snarls, and draws his chainsword, turning to slay the sorcerer, eyes scanning for targets. And then he sees the psyker in question. The chainsword's buzzing halts. He just stares silently at her. It has been months of madness, blood, and hatred for him. And there she is, the one good thing in Mayfield. The one piece of purity that nothing could erase. He speaks with a voice that carries pain with it, but certainty as well. His doubts, his confusion are all gone now. But his oath to her is forever. ]

Rin Tohsaka.

[lunawolves10th]

[ Garviel reaches up, unsealing his helm. His face is the same as ever, but the eyes are different somehow. Less gentle? He looks like a man who has been exposed to horror, who hasn't seen anyone else in a long, long time. He hesitates, as if remembering how to speak. ]

Yes, my partner, I am back. [ He notices her tears a moment later, and crosses to her, kneeling so they're more or less eye to eye. ]

[Red eyes you say. You are being watched by red eyes as well. A little girl is wandering the streets tonight in roller-skates....wee....]

[lunawolves10th]

[ Had garviel not just spent 3 months on a world populated only by zombies and demons, and himself, this would probably be less confusing as it is, he just watches her, watching him. There's a tension to him that wasn't there before, like a beast that was previously quiet. Oh, and a desire for vengeance. Not justice, vengeance. ]

[miss_enma_ai]

[Skating....and watching, skating and watching.]

[lunawolves10th]

What is it that you wish of me, little one? [ he removes his helm. His face is the same craggy one he has always had, but the expression is more distant now. Tired. As if he's seen a world end. Because he has.]

At L'Déplaisant

[inababanchou]

[ Souji is seated in the center of the restaurant. Since it was summer he had all the time in the world, and one of his first orders of business was to check out this restaurant. He's having some trouble selecting something appetizing from the menu. ]

[lunawolves10th]

[A figure casts Souji in shadow, looming over him, and grates out with a slightly weary tone.]

May I take your order, Ser?

[inababanchou]

[ Souji looks up. ]

Garviel? I didn't know you worked here.

[lunawolves10th]

Yes. This is my designated work, according to the town. [He says it flatly, but his eyes show his bitterness.]
