Dalal glared at the woman furiously, once more wishing she possessed the Evil Eye. She was about to insult the woman, and probably blow her out of the water, but then she remembered that, at the moment, insults would probably get her no where. She bit her tongue gently, then said slowly, doing her best to keep her anger out of her voice, "I am Dalal Charnae. And YOU... You should respect your betters." She bit her tongue once more, an attempt to simmer down, then said coolly, "And as for what I want.... I want you to get your "leader" to come over here and talk to me. Like, NOW. So scurry off now and bring her to me. That's right. SHOO!"
Now that she had given this person who was obviously just a stupid underling the instructions, she began to examine her nails in a very bored fashion, waiting for this leader to appear. She was disgusted with this grunt by now, and wished she could have gotten someone higher up. 'I mean, REALLY. She's a disrespectful little annoyance! I deserve much better. This little jerk doesn't even recognize true beauty! She probably thinks she's the most beautiful being there is. But boy, is she wrong! I'm definitely on top. But what's taking her so long in fetching the damned leader?' She looked up, hoping to see whomever lead this scraggly bunch. |
|
Despite knowing that it was a rhetorical question, she answered, "I told you already who I am. Now. If you would move your idiotic little ass to your superiors and get them over here, I won't get even more angry at you. In fact, I might even forgive you."
At the mention of her being a succubus, her eyes narrowed, though not visibly. How had this stupid sun fairy known? She had done a pretty good job of hiding it, if she said so herself. And speaking of which, why weren't her charms working on the brat? Was it BECAUSE she was trying to hide the fact that she was a succubus? At the sound of the infuriating voice talking again, she practically snapped. Taking a deep breath, she said, "Listen. Just bring her here, and you'll be rewarded. Got it?" She held her hand up to her mouth daintily at the next outburst, pretending to stifle a yawn. Once her yawn was fully finished, she called out to the retreating fairy, "And by the way, your rudeness will get you nowhere in life. Just wanted to give you that friendly word of advice! Toodles!" Making out some more figures in the dark alleyway, she started towards them, her annoyance falling off of her, raindrops on a leaf of ivy. |
"Neither will demanding everything and believing things will go your way, she's right, you do sound like a spoiled little rich brat, I bet thats what you were, too..." Law's voice sounded as he walked toward the succubus, thats the word, Marcella had spoken it loud and clear and he understood now,
"A succubus, how delightful... I knew your kinds charms lay in seducing people, not socializing." The ancient demon smirked, continuing his advance, he didnt know what Randy or Rowen were doing now, but it seemed this new one was causing a little trouble, anyone causing his freakish family any trouble would have to answer to him. "As long as you're here you're on our level, or you're out of here, miss, the only person who orders anyone around here is Randy over there, but we can all lay down a little law around here, and one of those includes not playing your high and mighty attitude on us because I'll gladly tear apart any fool who dares come and insult my comrades," through this speech Law was taken a darker and darker figure, face almost completed shaded out, save for the glow of red eyes behind the silvery bangs that were literally staying as still as possible within reason almost as if afraid, accompanying his dark visage was a growing aura of malicious intent, somehting law often displayed when nearing a sort of 'hype' for battle, it mostly just instilled fear in the lesser breeds. Sin was enjoyingt his little advance but he was 'so' expecting an order to cease his advance from Randy, best make it look good anyway, he was mere meters now and reached into his jacket to slowly withdraw the handgun he frequently used in the disposal of supernatural opposition. A mad grin was forming, clean through the dark haze, "How dare you come to us, demanding to see our leader and disrespecting our people in the process!! You cast-off lesser-breed! I'm ashamed to call myself a demon when I meet things like you... Behave!! Or I'll blow you full of holes... And they wont heal the way you may hope..." |
She glared at the new person, finding him to be just as irritating as the first two. And now her "secret" was known. But then, it wasn't much of a secret, considering how beautiful she was. Anyone could probably tell by both her beauty and her charm that she was a succubus, so it wasn't like they were mind readers or anything.
Back to the present, she told herself, trying to concentrate on teh situation at hand. And boy what a situation it was! He apparently had pulled out a gun while she was off in her own little world. She wanted to spit at his feet, but then decided that wouldn't be wise. Besides, these seemed to be semi-powerful (despite being so frustrating) beings, and she could use them on her side. For now she would play along, pretending to be their little pet. She would ignore his insults and taunts, and rather, act how they wanted her. They couldn't control her thoughts though... She stared at the gun for a moment, then giggled, walking up to meet the demon/man/thing approaching her (she didn't truly know what he was, after all). "Aww, don't ruin all the fun, dear." She gave him a very pouty face, then continued, "Don't force me to give up my act. It's so fun to pretend you're so full of yourself, and make people annoyed at you. And then, once you explain, everyone laughs, and it's all good. So don't force me to give it up, hun; I want us all to laugh about it!" Peering off into the street behind him, she called out sweetly, "Yoo-hoo! Come on out! He's ruined the fun, so let's just properly introduce ourselves!" She furiously hoped that this facade would work, and that they wouldn't figure out that she was just playing them. |
A sharp, girlish intake of breath was the extent of her response to Rowen's bite, followed by her fighting with the very human instinct to shove Rowen off of her. But, she focused on the twig poking into her foot a little. Pick a smaller annoyance, put all of your sensory input to that, and it helps get you through the bigger, nastier thing. That's what she did as a kid when she had to get needles. It still worked. Because she was concentrating so much on the twig, she fell on her ass when Rowen was torn off her wrist. How embarrassing. "I'm right here, you okay now?" she said when he asked, and watched Law go off. She hadn't heard the newcomers exchange with Rainbow and Wings, but saw the pair storm off sort of annoyed. She did hear the exchange between Law and the new girl, however. "Bugger. Sky, if you think you can handle it, make sure the other two are keeping an eye on things, and head over. I'll meet you there. I need to make sure Law doesn't try to eat anyone."
She really didn't want to stand up just yet. She would have liked to take a minute to sit there and clot the not so neat little puncture wounds on her wrist, but, that didn't seem so likely. She grabbed a wad of tissue from her jacket pocket, shoved it on said puncture marks, dragged herself to her feet with a less then happy sigh, and headed over. This girl did not seem like a sharp one. Which was always major points. She could deal with egos if they weren't so smart. But, still, a succubus? Having one on the team could be... Incredibly useful. It was worth at least talking to the twit. She bopped Law lightly on top of the head with her good hand, "How many times do I have to tell you? Only eat them if they're stupid and useless. It's a very important and." She looked at the girl, and, while Randy was rather asexual, she couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. She was hardly ugly, but, she wasn't really anything special. She had a nice enough figure, but, (she claimed) for job related reasons, she could hardly dress to show it off. "Alright, so, I would be the person unfortunate enough to be stuck nannying this bunch. Who are you, what are, who sent you, and what do you want?" these questions weren't asked with any malicious. They were just standard questions she asked to most new comers who were looking for 'who evers in charge here'. Usually they were sent her way by someone in the business. She had thought she'd be getting a better balanced team, but, she didn't mind having become the one to pick up odds and ends. It took a hit from your ego usually to be in an odds and ends group. This girl, however, seemed to really need a hit to her ego. So, all the better. |
As the woman walked over, she smiles cutely. "Ah, there are more people! Boy, am I glad to see you! This guy was gonna shoot my head off for a silly little joke!" She frowned innocently, pretending to look truly scared.
At the 'stupid and useless' comment, she grinned inwardly. So they thought she was stupid! All the better. They'd never expect great things from her then. So they'd never suspect what her goal was! Things were working out perfectly! That is, until the lady started firing off questions at her. Her mind began to race. Maybe she shouldn't expect them to come up with a story for her. The way she saw it, she had two options; either she could play stupid and say she didn't remember, then wait for them to come up with a probably story; or she could simply say that she had been strolling around aimlessly. Neither would work perfectly, though the first might work better. Yeah, she'd try it. "Uh. My name is Dalal. And like he said," here she jerked her head towards the man, "I'm a succubus. Uh, I can't remember who sent me here or why though. Um... I just remember someone telling me to come here. Sorry." She mentally crossed her fingers, hoping that they'd buy that, and think she was just the most forgetful person in the world. |
Rowen let out a relieved breath as he heard Randy's voice as Law pulled him up before quickly striding in the newcomer's direction, soon followed by Randy herself. He quickly ripped off a piece of his own bandaging and silently tieing it around his leader's wrist before stepping to Law's side,"I'll give you my apologies and show my gratitude when there is a more proper time,"
He placed a hand on Law's shoulder as if to calm him, "Randy is right. You shouldn't go wasting your bullets on such a petty thing as this," He said quietly. He had barely heard the disgruntlement between the new demon and Rainbow but he instantly assumed that the tone she used with Marcella was the one that she had used with his comrades. It may have infuriated him but thankfully it wasn't in his personality to go picking for a fight unless someone punched him first or he was just plane jumpy. "I am as angry as you are," he whispered in Law's ear,"but let us stand aside and let Randy speak to this thing first." His tone was calm and nonthreatening and he lightly tugged on Law's shoulder. If one didn't know better, they would think the demon was being hypocritical knowing that earlier he had almost tried to bight Law's face off. "We'll just sit and watch, no matter how annoyingly painful it may be." {{ooc: sorry i had to write this quickly! you people rp too fast XD}} |
The bop on the head worked, quite well in fact as the darkness surrounding him vanished, and he was left smiling,
"Wow, she can take sarcasm to the extreme. So Randy, you realize if she's stupid it means we gotta work her hard so she can learn more, right?" Law spun the piece stylishly and sank it back into his coat before nudging Rowen, "Careful, she's the Black Widow of our kind." He smirked, "Sides, I wanna go grab a slice of pizza, you're not the only hungry fella around here!" Law turned around, it was about time to go to his favourite place for this kinda thing, Carls Pizzaria. [Oh the irony!] "Get your bloodsucking ass moving!" And with that, a grab of the ear was made to pull Rowen along, "Then it's on to what we were supposed to be doing before all this racket." |
Rowen winced and quickly tried to pull away,
"L-Law that guy is in there!" He stammered, grabbing the demon's wrist in an attempt to make the pulling less painful, "if I go in there I might upchuck the only meal I'll get in a while," he pleaded, sounding distressed. "Just go in and buy a slice and come out and sit with me or something, Plus Skyler has my boots and if any other people are in there they'll see my feet!" Rowen wasn't keen on going into any building with that thing in there again. He felt ill just remembering the previous nausea. "P-please! Just let me wait outside!" |
{[Thank you, Julia! ^ ^
You don't have to lie, though-- I know my posts are horrible. xD; I find it awesomely hilarious, though, that my character is flipping yours off, and yours is about to totally stab mine viciously in the face, and then out-of-character you're super nice. xD Not that I'm expecting you to be anything like Dalal anyway. x];]} "Huh?" Rainbow turned around and peeked down the stairs as she tugged a camouflage-patterned shirt the rest of the way over her waist. "Rain? Eh, sure, why not?" Her voice carried easily down to the sun fairy, and she followed it quickly. Quickly buttoning up her camouflage jeans, she jumped out the room and slid down the banister of the staircase, landing with a sharp thump on the floor directly in front of Marcella. "A succubus? Well, she's hot enough; I can see how it would make sense. I've never met one, though, so I really am as far as you can get from an expert about them." Rainbow shrugged and bent over, picking up a pair of black combat boots and slipping them over her small, pale feet. "Hold on," she suddenly said during the short period of silence that had occurred while she had been putting on her shoes. "Is.... Randy.... talking to her!?!?!? Civilly!?" her left eye twitched mightily, and it's corresponding eyebrow quirked. "No... way..." her voice was heavily laden with disbelief. It wasn't possible. It couldn't be!!! |
People always said men thought with their lower heads. Randy had maintained for a long time they thought with their stomachs however. And as they ignored the succubus in front of them ever so amply and went off to go eat (or, for Law to go eat, as Rowen already had, kinda). And she raised an eye brow at the girl's answers. Okay, so, she either needed to be put to sleep, or was up to something. Still, it was her job to take in the strays and make sure nothing ate them. What she had done with the Wings, who seemed to adapt well with the rest of the group.
"So," said Randy trying to keep the sarcasm in her voice to a minimum, "some mysterious person told you to randomly seek out a probably equally mysterious group in a dangerous part of town, and, without making any real mental note of why you would want to do such a potentially disastrous thing, do it. And then, for fun, you decide to taunt a pack of potentially dangerous people?" Randy pursed her lips and tapped her finger over them. This was pretty clearly a very sarcastic gesture, and, she didn't feel even a little bad about it. "If you're in some sort of trouble, then you'd be better off telling me about it now as to when some ogre shows up with a mallet. Helps to know there may be an ogre on the way." The worst thing is, she wasn't speaking metaphorically. |
Dalal shook her head earnestly, "No, I'm sure I knew them. But I just can't remember who it was. Besides, they didn't tell me what to do once I was here. All they said was something along the lines of 'go there, then hang around until something happens.' How was I supposed to know that there were, and I quote, 'potentially dangerous' people here?
Besides. Had I truly been in danger, I could defend myself! Well, sorta. I took a year of whatchamacallit... Kung fu was it? Or am I just saying that 'cause of the song? No, I know I took SOME form of martial art..." She trailed off, pretending to be truly stupid and forgetful. She had, in fact, taken a year of martial arts, but hadn't actually learned much from it, seeing as she had ditched every class. But then, she thought to herself, why do you need martial arts when you can make your enemies drool over you and do anything you want, just to please you? At the mention of an ogre, she had an idea. Perhaps she could be pretending to take solace from something horrible? Then maybe she could earn them as her allies, and she would have more power behind her when the time came that she needed it. "Okay, okay. I came here of my own accord. See, back where I live, there's this guy. He used to be my lover, see, and he got a bit... over-obsessed. I probably shouldn't have seduced him to such a great extent, but I was still young and naive. Besides," she giggled here, "he was so cute! And he was a wonder beneath the sheets, too... But anyway. He's been stalking me, and I need help. I can get people to follow my every command to a slight extent, but he just won't leave me alone." Sighing, she finished, "And he killed my last lover out of jealousy. I just can't have anyone else hurt. Poor little Janine... She never had a chance, being only twentyish, and rather fragile." [[Your posts are NOT horrible! D= MINE are horrible. I'm so braindead lately. But I keep wanting to RP anyway. x_x;; XD! Thanks, I'm glad I'm nicer than her. XD Though, I'm an aweful lot like her once you know me better. @[email protected];; ]] |
((No one's posts are horrible. Except for this one. Now shut up about it before I start chewing on people))
Geh. Girls. This is why Randy was asexual. Part of the job descriptoin was to protect those needing protection. Well, there main job was to keep the "normal" part of the population seperate from the not so normal part as they were a danger to each other. But protecting them from each other also played into it. And if she had a crazy stalker ex that was hurting the current populace... She sighed. Damn it. She was duty bound. She rubbed her forehead, "Do you not know how to properly control your powers or just don't like to?" She gave her head a shake, "Right, well, if you're going to be sticking around here, you're going to have to apologise to the others for being so condesending. Otherwise, you're going to make my life a lot more complicated then it needs to be." |
[[ :x WHY isn't the dumb thing alerting me? D=
And your posts don't suck at all! D< EDIT: This post, however, is rushed and short because I think I have to go soon. >_<]] She blushed innocently, colour rushing to her cheeks, secretly amazed at her acting abilities. "What can I say? I was YOUNG! How was I supposed to know what I should and should not have done?" 'What a sucker. She actually BELIEVES that I have a homicidal ex-boyfriend running around killing people, including my last girlfriend... No, I killed her. She found out too much. Poor girl though, she could have lived another couple of years as my lover... She snapped out of her trance at the sound of the other woman's voice, then nodded, "I'll definitely apologize. I meant no harm, truly! I just thought we'd all get a kick out of it..." |

Skyler nodded at Randy and began to walk off. The scene behind her was amusing but she needed to find Melvin. She figured the best way was going to be to find the void he created. Skyler really wasn’t a magician, she didn’t know how to locate this void either. She sighed and sat down on a bench in one of the alleys in the surrounding area. She thought about how she could do this and remembered that she could try her hand at harpy magic.
“Duh. Now lets see… there’s that grid thing I set up to detect shifts in the earth. But would it pick up his void?” she mumbled quietly. Quickly she had set up a small grid on the ground made from old feathers. Houses and building were represented by rocks; she concentrated and mumbled a few more words incoherently under her breath. The grid emitted a light glow but one section did nothing, no reaction no glow. The same grid with Carl’s pizzeria. “Found you.” She kicked the magic grid and scattered the feathers which began to transform into safe, simple pigeon feathers. She ran around the corner ready to find Melvin, scenarios running through her head. Wild and crazy situations involving everything from him going mental to ninjas coming in and carrying her off into the night sky. The light from the pizza shop spilled out onto the street illuminating the worn cobbles and glinted off broken glass. Melvin was inside eating the most astounding looking pizza, and it looked like Carl had a disgruntled costumer on his hands too. If this wasn’t trouble enough, she smiled with delight. She sauntered up to Melvin, the shoes which made for a tight fit earlier suddenly were large and floppy around her feet. Glad Rowen had lent them to her, these floors were probably crawing with strange things, Carl wasn't known for his cleanliness, just his amazing pizzaz. Some troublesome character was in a fight with Carl and occupying the seat next to Melvin. Sidling around then she took the seat behind Melvin, looked like he had trouble enough with out her joining his table. “Why fancy meeting a guy like you in a place like this.” She said over the seat, “I said I would talk with you, and I never go back on my word. So here I am, you want to talk here or take it else where? Your choice really, I’m easy.” ((Thanks Sin for the point out, I hope this works better!)) |
{[-Grins.- I'll stop complaining now, Clever. Sowwy. -Pouts cutely and apologetically.-
But Julia is right. Your posts don't suck. Although, she's wrong, because hers don't either. Woahparadox?]} "Yeah. She's making a total fool out of Randy. I could've sensed her immense ego a mile away. Just because she's sucking up doesn't mean anything. She's trying to play us for fools." Rainbow glared daggers at the girl as she feigned idiocy and innocence. Although, she thought with a giggle, the succubus-girl didn't have to try too hard to be an idiot. Rainbow's mouth opened once, since she wanted immediately to yell something to Randy, to get her to realize this girl's true intentions. At least, as best as she could figure them out with her empathy. Ahh, it was good to have it back. However, the teen's mouth snapped back shut and she decided to tell Randy in private, or at least somewhere that succubus was not. Besides, Marcella's near-seething anger was starting to make her itch a little, and she rubbed her nails lightly over her arms to relieve the irritating sensation that crawled over them. "Hey, Mar'," Already, she'd formed a nickname for the fairy she stood with and was sure she was going to become friends with. "Think you could cool your jets on your anger? Makes me itchy." |
|
{[No probbies, Lenny. ^ ^]}
"Don't be sorry, not like I expect you to know something weird like that about someone you just met!" Rainbow laughed off the fairy's apology and smiled. "Empathy is a weird ability, that's for sure. Lots of anger close by makes me itchy, and when someone's heavily depressed and close by, I get really sluggish and tired. Among others, but those are the most obvious, I think." She shrugged and tugged on her second boot, still seated on the floor. The laces wrapped around each other in a series of complicated knots, then, she tugged on one lace and they all fell into place, and into the simple bow-knot that most people used when tying their shoes. 'I have too much time on my hands,' Rainbow thought with an internal laugh at the unintended pun that had slipped in there, as she stood. "I'm all laced up and ready to go. Are we supposed to follow Sky or no?" she asked the air. The question was pretty much directed at Randy, but she would accept an answer from Marcella too. Heck, she was asking herself as well. Stupid memory and having to talk to jog it. |
Quote:
"Yeah yeah I know, I just wanna grab a slice and we'll be on our way, now move it!" Law ordered, smirking th whole way as he proceeded to Carls Pizzeria, best spot in town and closeby too, always spiffy. The ancient one stretched lamely, stopping to open up the jacket at the chest area some. He wouldnt enjoy having to hang around that pretentious succubus, but he knew Randy could back some-one like that into a corner no matter how clever they were, or atleast thats what his faith in her led him to believe. "I sure hope we get some action tonight, I'm so bored...!" Law thought randomly on what he knew about the docks, he'd learned alot of basics first about the world, but had furthered his education about their city as much as he could, the more he knew the better, he'd take secret trips to libraries while out and about on spare time, and studied what he could, it was in his nature as an old demon to want to know alot afterall, "Did you know the Warehouses at the docks were built over abandoned sewage systems and that the basements were once used to access those sewers? Perfect place for gangsters or cultists to start up a business," Law chimed almost cheerily at the thought, "Waddya think? We got us a bunch of 'gang-bangers' or do we got us a few satanic worshippers of the dark arts, eh?" Law sounded almost giddy at either one being the prominent, "Say...! What if its a mix of both?! That'd really make for some action...!" |
Rowen continued stumbling after Law in a failing attempt to keep his ear from being ripped off,
"Yes, before I joined the sect I used to hide there," Rowen mumbled as he tried to keep his feet from getting caught in the uneven bumps in the pavement. "It's mostly drug dealers and illegal gambling, at least that was what it was like the last time I was there," he explained, finally matching the other demon's pace. He sighed, "I don't think many gangs gather there, maybe a few but not enough that would be a partial threat to either of us." Rowen had traveled to the city because of it's unusually high crime rate, meaning that if he fed no one would notice another murder or attack. However, apparently someone did notice the string of strange deaths and traced it back to him and not long after the runes were carved beneath his skin and he was dragged into a sect. "I'm sorry to burst your bubble but the action you will find probably won't bring you much satisfaction, but I suppose it's better than nothing, right?" {blah short) |
(You silly people and your self post trashing. Well here is another marvelous post by the lovely Hatter)
"Wha!?" Melvin cried standing up. "Why do you freaks keep following me? Look I get it! You arent magical creatures, I wont blab about your play so lemme alone!" After the near-cannible eating, and the hooker-succubus-soul-eater, and the schitzo-rainbow-grabby girl, and the harpy-wanna-be-cant-do-a-southern-drawl lady, and the I-have-the-plague-so-Im-gonna-sit-next-to-you boy, Melvin was tired of people. He left Carl a 20 dollar tip (the reason Melvin was always served first and always recieved perferred seating) then bolted out the door. He was dashing out into the night wearing his dark sunglasses, so naturally he couldnt see where he was going. He slammed into Law bouncing harmlessly off the bigger man's chest. His glasses came off and spun into the darkness. Melvin clamped his eyes shut and began to feel around for the shades. "Sorry about that, could one of you guys help me find my glasses? He didnt realize it was Law and Rowen he had bumped into, it was probally better for his mental state that he didnt know. |
"Woah! Hey, where's the fire bub?" That same pain shot through Law again, "Oooh, hey its the crazy guy, Rowen, best back off a bit." Law looked around, considering where the glasses may have gone before going toward them and picking them up,
"Just heard you going crazy at Carls, calm down man, my friend just wanted to talk to you, we're pretty sure you're a good guy you know." Damn how to make this sound good, he had to hook Melvin's attention so he didnt run off like a psycopath, screaming like a headless chicken, "Hmm, a bit dirty, the arms are a bit bent too..." he mumbled, carefully re-adjusting them for melvin before cleaning the lenses with his jacket, "We got off on a bit of a bad foot a while back man," Law squatted down, offering the glasses back to Melvin, "D'ya think you could give us a second chance and be our friend? We'd think it pretty cool to have a friend who can uncover government conspiracies, and you're like the numero uno for the job or so it seems, you've got yer head on straight you know?" Oh god if Law wasnt feeling so easy going at the moment he'd surely sound like he was lying through his teeth, "I didnt introduce myself, bad head-ache and all, its still getting at me too, my names Law Stevens," On the spot, Law Stevens, why not? Best go as far as he can, "Please hear my friend Skyler out? I'd stick around but I'm just grabbing a slice from my man Carl there and then im heading off to work, night shifts and such," |
Melvin shoved the visor-like glasses on his face before opening his eyes to look at law. When he heard mention of government conspiracies he crooked an eyebrow skeptically. "What does a theatre troupe want with a hacker?" He asked perching on the sidewalk so he was eyelevel with Law. "You guys arent really a theatre troupe. Your last name isnt really Stevens. You all are a member of an underfunded sect that protects magical creatures from humans and vice versa right? Right. Uh-huh." Melvin popped open his laptop and swung it around to show law the profiles and pictures of the members of the sect. "You know these were so hard to find I almost believe them." Melvin looked at the very human Rowan standing some distance away. "No matter which way you throw it though, that is not a demon." He pointed first at Rowen, then at the demon in the picture.
"So spill the beans actor-boy. Whats really going on around here?" |
