With the cloak of darkness...

Jun 19, 2009 00:19

[ A shadowed figure stumbles out into the darkened streets, only a small gasp of surprise escaping his mouth before he literally appears to vanish from sight.

The wind blows ominously, rustling an invisible scarf as the cloaked man's sharp green eyes scout around wildly.

This didn't look anything like a town or city he had been in before. Where in ( Read more... )

[[Nibbles dashes down the street toward the catacombs. Man, Fakir would have her head if he found out she was out after dark again! And what if she runs into...?!]]

[[She halts in her steps, catching a vague scent that she's never caught before. And there's a small sound of rustling fabric...]]

[ The cloaked assassin follows the girl's movement with just his eyes, breathing controlled beneath his mask.

She must be the one. A priestess out of her garbs, perhaps? They did play tricks on people from time to time...

Well. He would certainly show her.

Carefully, he lets the blade on his right arm touch the stone and drags it back, creating a noise she was certain to hear--and then he vacates the spot quickly and silently.

As soon as she had her guard down... ]

[[She whirls around at the sharp noise, but sees nothing. She slowly crouches down, beginning to snarl, and curling her fingers.

Not her werewolf. Definitely not her werewolf.]]

[ His eyebrows raise at the sound of snarling. Seemed he was mistaken---the girl was likely not human, given the noises she was making. And to be out at this time of night... she was likely of the undead.

That certainly made his job easier.

Rushing up behind her, he de-cloaked just before reaching her, right katar aimed for her side as he muttered under his breath. ]

Envenom.

[[Bill whistles casually, his yo-yo bouncing up and down on the string around his finger. Nighttime walks. That's the only thing to do in this town.

He stops when he hears the wind rustling some kind fabric. Why did he forget his sword again?]]

[ The hidden form's eyes widen considerably when the land on the young man---who happened to look just like him.

There could only be one reason for that. And cloaking would do nothing to assist him against the Doppelganger. His form had already been copied.

Materializing out of the darkness, he crosses his katars in front of him, narrowed eyes boring threateningly into his copy.

He sneers beneath his mask. ]

Doppelganger.

un_knighted June 19 2009, 04:48:29 UTC

[[He blinks at this new arrival. And he takes in his appearance. Doppelganger, yes, but...

Oh snap.

OH SNAP.

And now, Bill has the same expression as Po the Panda in the presence of the Furious 5. He shakes almost turns to jelly and his jaw goes slack.]]

Ooohhhh...

[[...How much more badass can this town get?!]]

[ The assassin looks warily about as he stands his ground.

Just where were the rushing hooves that marked the approach of his band of nightmares? Something about this wasn't right...

Turning his gaze back to the gaping double, he begins to circle him slowly, blades at the ready. ]

How have you escaped from Geffen Tower?

[Ahiru is making her way down the street, minding her own business. It was really about time she got home...

Just then, she hears a metallic clank against the ground. Stopping in her tracks, she glances from side to side quickly.]

Huh? ...Um, is anybody there?

shadow_sinx June 19 2009, 05:01:35 UTC

[ A hidden pair of narrowed eyes watch her closely, tracking every movement through the darkness.

He was getting restless. Still he had no answers as to where he was or what had happened. Perhaps he could force something out of this girl...

Sidestepping twice, he again lets the tip of his blade clunk against the street. ]

danceabitch June 19 2009, 05:09:07 UTC

Eeee!

[She squeaks, turning toward the source of the noise, still seeing nothing.]

A-are you a ghost? I knew I should have gone home earlier...

shadow_sinx June 19 2009, 05:21:20 UTC

[ The assassin wastes no more time and slides up behind the girl silently, de-cloaking just a split second before--with lightning speed--he snaps the blade of his right katar beneath the girl's neck from behind. His voice releases almost on a hiss. ]

I want answers. And I insist your cooperation.

[ He wasn't into killing civilians as some others of the assassin's guild did for fun, but if he could scare some information out of her, that would be enough. ]
