The graceful arrival of Soul Eater-verse Fakir

[queruloussoul]

[[Fakir lands face first in the middle of the street.  He had just swung Ahiru in a wide, powerful arc at their opponent, going in for the kill.  But then--what exactly had happened?  The great hulking monster who's soul he'd been about to collect wasn't there anymore, and neither was Ahiru, which had left him to pitch forward, driven by his own

[ As his searching of the town has indirectly caused the assassin to run into more and more people, the cloaked Fakir spots another person up ahead, his eyes widening in mild surprise before they narrow.

Another doppelganger.

Cautiously, he uses his practiced stealth as he approaches until he's close enough to spot what the figure is doing - and raises an eyebrow at the numbers written onto the glass. ]

What the...? Is it some kind of code?

[ Although he's hidden from direct view, his end of his right katar ends up hitting the stone down below with a very audible scraping noise. ]

[ The assassin rolls his eyes in growing annoyance. ]

It's not much of a fight if you don't even have a goddamn weapon or something to defend yourself. Why would I waste my time with that? It would take no skill at all.

[queruloussoul]

Then why are you even here?

[shadow_sinx]

Like I said, I was suspicious curious about those numbers you were writing and their significance. We've used codes in my guild, but nothing like that.

[ He shrugs. ]

And you mentioned that girl I met. So I figured you must be from her world or something.

[[Fakir gives up. Obviously it would rather chat than fight, and Fakir can't object to the fact it isn't killing him right now.]]

Well, it isn't working anyway, so it doesn't matter. Guild?

[[Fakir narrows his eyes at the mention of Ahiru.]] I'll have to find her, eventually. [[Eyes narrow more, in distaste.]] If she doesn't find me first.

[ The assassin shakes his head. ]

Never mind.

[ He points again in the direction he had run into Ahiru sometime earlier. ]

You'll probably find her if you keep walking that way. She's stupid enough to walk around unprotected in the middle of the night, too.

[ And with that, he mutters something under his breath and cloaks--disappearing into thin air as he takes his leave.

Those numbers... he would have to keep them in mind. Just in case they held any key to something that would assist in leaving this place... ]

[[Fakir watched his strange double vanish. It wasn't exactly a comforting sight.]]

Gah!
