Lland made no noise as pain seared up her arm and through her wing. Though she attempted to fight, she was tired from being up all of dusk and from the latest events. With tow Greaters, that where in fact part of The Guard, she had no chance of escaping. There would also be no point in arguing; the ways of the world where one has done wrong unless proven to have not. Even then, it was hard to prove. However Lland wasn't to worried, she knew her way around, and had 'friends' that would most definitely help, the only problem would be waiting for helps arrival. She allowed herself to be carried off into whatever was coming.

{They changed the Garamond font! *cries* Hmm... or maybe my computer did it...? :[ Can't tell.}

Rasel glanced over to his partner to see her reaction; she did not take kindly to their own aiding fugitives. "Yes, of course," She said. " The special agents were not notified as this is minor, they did not want to bug your..." She paused, glancing at the scene in which the two had been alone "Missions." she finished, beginning to struggle with Kirin, she waved at Rasel to explain.

"Well you see... There are a lot of people.. who, well... are suspicious." Just beginning to explain made Rasel himself wonder if they really had reason at all for this. "Anyway, you know about the bombing of the phoenix's? Well, anybody reported as suspicious seen in Mortriidar was asked to be reported; you see, we have to be safe, we don't want other explosions like this..." He felt he was babbling, and his partner was having even more trouble with the suspect, so he decided to get to reasons. "As you know, Im sure" I hope she knows "This guy.. he was just recently turned... So he, you know, may still have ties to the Lessers. Plus, some people in Menel also reported something about him. You know two-"

"Shut up and help me with this bastard!" Rasel was surprised to see she was having to change to her Phoenix for just to overpower him. He looked a bit like he didn't really know who to help for a second, then rushed over to her side to help apprehend him.

Bloody Hell! Now I have to figure out how to save his rear. Allene felt sick again and tried not to fall over. "I know he was recently turned..." she cut herself off, that was enough. She didn't need to say that she had been the one to do it. "Where are you taking him, and who ordered this? He is invaluable to my mission, he's got inside information about the Lessers. " She could feel the sweat on her skin and she felt like she was burning and freezing at the same time. She took in a deep breath and tried to steady herself. Then she walked over to Kirin and put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't struggle to fiercely, it will only make things worse." She looked at the two Guardsmen, "I will personally see to it that you are released and that your innocence is proven." She then turned and made eyecontact with him and through their blood bond said. Plus there is always plan B...

Odette was a bit shocked. How had she acted on treason for the Greater country? She had just killed someone who should be their greatest enemy. She searched frantically for an escape, looking back at Craven with wide eyes.

After finding out where Kirin would be held Allene quickly got ahold of her Boss to try and make arrangments for his release, yet it seemed that it was out of the sad sap's juristiction, and then when she went to her boss's supperior with threats of quitting and hunting everyone one of them down and draining them dry she was met with nothing more than a "its out of our hands Ms. O'Connell, I'm very sorry." She felt like the world was closing in on her, for some reason perhaps the events of the night before she had taken very ill and she wanted to just curl up and die, but she couldn't... She needed to do something for Kirin... but what?

~ ~ ~

Craven huffed angrily and shoved his hands in his jacket pockets. He turned away grumbling and cursing in another language entirely, but there was no doubt to anyone who heard that he was pissed and cursing the hogs who born these rodents. As soon as the guard was out of sight he dropped to all fours and transformed into his wolf form, though to anyone who saw him, he would merely appear as a shaggy black mut. Another perk to having certain powers he thought. He turned around and followed Odette and the guard. He occasionally darted out from the trees into the road to get a look at Odette to make sure she was okay, and that they weren't hurting her. He also hoped that she might see him and realize she wasn't alone.

The guards gripped Odette by the arms, painfully. They practically dragged her along. She gritted her teeth at the pain. She heard movement in the trees, but saw nothing. Figures, there was probably plenty of movement in the trees. A few minutes later, she looked again, and caught a glimpse of black fur. Familiar black fur.

Still cursing, though silently now, Craven followed the guards and Odette. He knew they were hurting her and that she would bare their marks on her arms for days... But he couldn't change that, they were greaters and even if there were only on one of them, he would have had bad odds of strength 2 to 1, as it was, those were appealing odds. four to one however was more than even his cocky hide was stupid enough to take on. By now he thought he knew where they were taking her, an old lock up a few miles away. Why do I always get mixed up in trouble? I'm a nice enough guy, I like my fun but honestly, every where I go there's always a pretty face getting in unpretty situations. He continued to grumble as he followed, it was more because he would worry if he didn't stay angry. It wasn't even anger at her really, just the situation and everything around it.

Niniel stiffened, and her expression became fierce. Her hands clenched into fists as she held them under the table, and she gripped onto her skirt, trying to keep from punching the woman. She recognized them as the greater's guard, and didn't know what they were doing in Neutral territory.
"Say what you like about me," she said in a low voice that was charged with anger. "But do not insult my husband. He was a good man."
She looked over at Night. "Don't do anything foolish," she said. "I know you're sworn to protect me, but it'd only make things worse."
She turned back to the woman. "I have done nothing wrong, and we are in Neutral territory, this isn't even your jurisdiction. Now, if you'd like to join us for lunch, I'd be honored to have your company..."
Inwardly she really hated that she added the last sentence, but she really just wanted to be left alone.

"Hey! I said I didn't do it!" Emi protested to Levi's stammaring. "Gee whiz..."
She couldn't even look at him now, feeling so embarrassed that she had said that. "Sorry if I've embarrassed you... It takes me a little while to think straight when I've just woken up."

Odette finally relaxed, fighting would do her no good. It would probably even cause her more pain. Even though, she figured she could take them on; if she could get out of their iron grasp. She looked into the trees again. Okay, she definately saw something there this time. A black furred canine. She couldn't be sure if it was a wolf or a dog.

Black fur... well, whatever, or whoever, it was had been following them steadily now. It didn't make her feel any safer, but she didn't feel threatened either. If it was a wild animal, it would probably attack the guards first and give her a chance to shift. If it was part of their group, extra guarding she guessed, then it wouldn't attack her. But it couldn't be part of their group, could it? Shapeshifters and werewolves were lessers. If it was friend, well, it wouldn't attack her then either. And chances were, it was a friend or a wild beast.

Night couldnt quite understand what was happening, and he didnt like the look of things, and so, he gripped the hilt to the sword that was tied around his waist "what's going on.." he growled looking at the woman that Niniel was so harshly talking to.

--

"n-nah it's okay. I used to stutter all of the time when i was l-little" he murmered "it only happens when i have unorthodox images running t-through my head" he chuckled rather nervously

Craven made his way up close to the guard, taking a chance, that he wasn't sure would pay off or not. He got as close as he could, trying his best to keep the Guardsmen from noticing him, but he looked up at Odette and wagged. He didn't try to hide that he was a wolf from her, and if his plan failed well at least she might be bright enough to put two and two together. I don't know if you can understand me... Not all shapeshifters can... but if you can, its okay. I'm not going to let you out of my sight. He then winked an icy blue eye at her and disappeared back into the trees. He really did hope that she was one of the shapeshifters that could also understand animals but the chances were slim even with him trying very hard to make it work.

[[ just so you know, I think it all depends on you what kind of prison or lock up you're taken to, so run wild with your imagination. heh I know a bit random but thought you should know.]]

"Don't tell me you don't recognize the Greater's Guard by their get-up..." Niniel said to Night. She didn't want to say anything else, afraid of what else might come out because of how angry she was and she didn't want to make the situation any worse than it was.

XXXXXXXXXX

"Oh... goodness..."
Her face really reddened at that, and she covered her face with her hands before disappearing in embarrassment. She was still there, but no matter what she did it only seemed to get more awkward by the minute.

"not really.. i just dont like the fact that she's making you uncomfortable" he sighed and released the hilt. His position was awkward as he stared into Niniel's eyes from across the table, he watched them cloud and haze with anger

Gilbert came back with their orders, which happened to be the house special and just what Niniel had asked Night about.

--

"hey, which s-stores do you w-want to go to?" he struggled to keep his mind off of such an awkward image. He giggled, took her hand, well tried to, and began heading towards the door "we've got a big day ahead of us"

(Erm, I'm not sure what to do with the Niniel getting arrested thing....)

Emi had forgotten that he knew where she was even when she was 'invisible,' and she jumped as she felt him touch her. She became visible again, but still blushing, as she let him take her hand and lead her out of the room.
"Um..." she said, still feeling a bit awkward. "I-It's been awhile since I've been in Centre-Mina. None of those high-end fancy stores, though. I don't need to be caught buying things from other top designers, and I only need something simple anyway."

The woman howled with laughter almost like a hyena. "Do I look like I care? You're coming with me, now whether I drag you out of here or you walk and try to keep what little dignity you think you have is completely up to you." Grabbing Niniel by the forearm she began to head towards the door.

~~~

The Guardsmen who held Odette did notice the dog and he yelled at it. "Scram mut, get out of here." He swung a kick at it, but it had already disappeared into the underbrush along side the road. "Good for nothing--"
"Oh stop your Moaning, we only have a bit longer before we can toss her and get on to an early lunch. Leave the dog alone!" the second guardsmen barked.

((so confused, and being tired doesnt help O_O...))

"so basically a middle class store?" he suggested, hopeing not to offend her "i mean, well.. like the type of store i shop at every so often" he chuckled then winked back at her with a wide grin set over his face "nothing too fancy but something definately nice looking"

The animal had come up to her. Yep, definately wolf. It winked at her. Whoa, it winked at her. Not wolf, werewolf. Werewolf?

Werewolf. Black hair...

Craven.

She watched as Craven loped off. Then she turned her attention back to the stone building ahead of her. It smelled like feces. Must be one of the old prisons. She took her last breath of clean air and held it.

[[heh, use your imagination Morwyn, for the most part this is a self-guided event. ]]

[[@Kaelin/ (used to be) silver: Dare I ask what is confusing? Maybe I can help clear it up.]]

Craven curled his lips in a low growl. He didn't like being called a mut. He was of one of the oldest lines of werewolfs! He was high quality and not bad looking to boot! The nerve... his eyes flash gold and he growled though it was so quiet no one that wasn't practically touching him would hear it.

Soon they came upon an old stone structure. Yup, definitely the old lock up. He dashed up ahead of the guard and Odette, and running through someone's back yard where luandry so conviently was left unattended to dry he grabbed a white tee-shirt and some pants. still holding them in his mouth he slipped inside the prison to wait and see where they took Odette.

(thanks, T. NPC :) )
(@Kaelin: Oh, read the big NPC post on the last page if you're confused at all. It is an odd concept, but maybe it'll spice things up a bit. *shrugs* )

Niniel stood up. She still had her dignity as an elf to preserve, it was one of the few things she still felt strongly. I suppose I wasn't meant to settle down again, she thought as she looked around the inn as she left. She took one last look back at Night.
"This isn't your fault," she said to him. "Don't do anything stupid... If you're going to fight it, do it legally." He'd done so much for her already, she didn't want him to get hurt anymore for her sake. She then let out a long string of swears in her own language under her breath as she followed the Guard out of the inn.

XXXXXXXXXXX

Emi smiled as they made it out into the street, glad to notice his stutter had stopped. She laughed a little. "Yeah, I suppose so... I just need another simple outfit that's comfortable. I'd prefer it to be a white dress... but we'll see what we can find. Don't worry, I don't like shopping, so it won't take long. Clothes are business, not fun, you know.."

((kk! sorry i'm just having difficulty because i've got like 5 other roleplays i'm participating in at this exact moment @[email protected]))

"damnit" he slammed his hands onto the table, stood up and walked out, following the guards then to city hall. He knew his voice would be heard, but not as much as he hoped.

Once he had stood before the men and women, preaching his heart out and hopeing they would help him, but all the did was laugh at him

--

"i know exactly what you mean" he chuckled and passed what looked to be a very tastefully sewen white cotton dress "hmm"

Odette breathed throuhg her mouth, but that didn't do much help. Now, instead of smelling it, she tasted it. Ick. They led her to a small cell in a back corner, the ground of it disgutstingly dirty.

Niniel was a bit relieved when Night didn't start fighting the guard. It'd have only made things worse, and they'd have probably beat him pretty badly.
They took her and threw her in the back of a car (I'm assuming they use one of those) for the journey back into Greater territory, and most likely to a prison there. She was getting angrier by the moment, hating even being in their presence, and she fiercely gripped the seat, her fingernails digging into the apolstery.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Emi stopped to see what had caught Levi's attention. "Oh," she said. "Hopefully it'll fit." She searched until she found one in her size and then took it to a dressing room to try it on. A few cursewords could be heard coming from the room before she came back out in the clothes she had been wearing and she was blushing.
"Erm... well..." she said. "My wings... well, didn't fit right with the dress.... stupid... freakin.. wings"
She muttered as she searched a little more until she found something similar that had more of a low cut back. She knew it was a bit more revealing, but she could deal with it, and at least it'd be more comfortable.

(If only shopping was so easy...>.< )

[[ hey they had a helicopter so cars kinda came first lol, I know I keep interjecting were I probably shouldn't... but heh, what can I say I've got no life and nothing interesting to do besides this on my retarded comp. ... hate dial up, can't even load youtube T_T, well heh not fast anyways. I mean an hour and half for a 3 minute song is rediculous.... and I see that I have kinda ranted here.. I'll stop now... sorry.]]

Craven huffed a few times before he dropped the garments. One of the disadvantages to being a werewolf, clothes either ripped or disintigrated when he changed. Unlike the lucky little shifter girl. I'd better get a nice drink out of all this, or I am going to be sorely disappointed. he thought and waited and watched, he would change back and dress as soon as he knew where she was. He just needed to talk to her, make sure she was okay before he did anything else. Looking up at a clock, he sighed he was going to miss that gig... Damnit!

Night grinned at the thought of slashing the tires of the car on his way back to City hall, he grinned and imagined watching them as they pathetically tried to speed off "heh.. heh" he was a rather sneaky young man especially when it came to bailing a friend out. But, unfortunately, his imagineation was always getting away from him, But, he knew if he were to do something that drastic, he would never hear the end of it.

--

Levi watched her in content then smiled softly, he valued his time with her and very much thanked each god he could think of for blessing him with these moments "hmm. How about this one?" he held out a white dress with a low cut back but slightly longer in length and more presentable frontside

Niniel stared out the window as she watched the countryside pass by. It'd been a long time since she'd been in a car, and she was almost glad that she wasn't feeling carsick, although she would have loved the excuse to puke all over those filthy greater mongrels.
Eventually they came to a prison and they roughly threw her in a cell.
(Um... the only thing I know about this 'event' is that they're supposed to end up in prison. Was anything else planned after that? I mean, are they stuck there, or will they eventually be let out or what?)

XXXXXXXXXXXX

Emi smiled and took the dress he was offering. "Well.. that looks much better. Thanks." She gave him a quick peck on the cheek and then went to try it on. "Oh, that's much better!" she said, and then came back out to let him look. "They must get a lot of fairies in here to have two different styles of white dresses that would work..." she commented. She knew it was very common for fairies to wear white since it was the easiest to do simple illusions with. "So...What do you think?"
