----Kalace----

The brilliantly lit streets of Lieth's capital city, Kalace, were covered in a shiny luster from Closed shops and startlingly silent streets, apart from the occasional convertible. Bright lamplights and neon signs illuminated the blackened city with a plethora of color. Tall and mighty skyscrapers seemed to rest.

 

The nights were in preparation - although they remained a silent whisper today, overnight they would transform to an even more bustling noisy city than usual. Kalace was the epicenter of discovery and science, and although not everyone would "agree" with fact, the truth stood that Kalace was at the peak of world interest when it came to new findings or revolutionary technology.

 

Within the night, Sol perched atop a rooftop of a building, scouting out the area. A lopsided neon lit sign read "Whirlpool Bank" on a building whose window had been busted. Sol's eyes lit up emerald green in the night, and he scaled the building downwards.

 

Sol walked through the broken glass, stepping over the broken down machinery and security protocols, which had been tactfully destroyed beforehand. He slid open the broken door to the back room reading "employee only", where a main control panel was. The door collapsed immediately. Reaching in his pocket, Sol crouched and held over a card to the front panel of the control board, and a holographic image, which displayed the balance of "29,342,322 Rupees." A menu displayed, titled Whirlpool Circuit with "Withdraw" "Deposit" "Other "Generate Contract" and "Advanced Options {Administrator Privileges Required}".

 

"This was way too easy." Sol mumbled to himself, reaching for the holographic menu. A sudden sting shot up Sol's side, and a blistering sound shot through the silent night.

 

"FREEZE! Don't move!" A heavily armored, plump cop shot Seth with a stun gun. Behind him, a frail looking, skinny cop ran behind him. They wore bulky helmets and Magic-resistant vest, boots and gloves.

 

"Jeez, the hell was that for?" Sol grumbled. He staggered upon getting up, clutching his leg.

 

"Don't play with me! We saw you march in here!" the fat cop said. The skinny cop nodded vigorously.

 

"With this?" Sol flashed them the card. "Yeah, I did it to give the money back! I saw the guy who did it - beat him on the way here. I'll show you whe-"

 

"Likely story! We here it all the time! Don't we, Bruce?" The skinny cop nodded in agreement "Yeah, Prune, yeah!" Prune turned back around to Sol, poking his rifle in Sol's face. "Do I look dopey to you? Huh?"

 

Sol jammed his hands in his pockets. "Look! Look at the name on this card." Sol held up the card, then exclaimed "I'm not him. I'm Sol! You have DNA scanners? Check it!" He lifted his forearm.

 

Prune clicked a small button on a camera on his jacket. The camera scanned Sol's skin, then the card, and displayed a large "X" on its display.

 

Prune looked to Bruce, baffled at the result. "Well..." he croaked out, before Bruce said "Well, what do we do now, Prune?" Prune replied "What we do every day! Keep people from taking over the world! Let's dig around for some clues. There has to be a lead around here!"

 

Sol looked to the idiot cops, dumbfounded. "Ugh, these idiots. All the cameras in the world... even at a time like this." He chuckled a little, deposited the money, and then walked away, as the two men scrambled across the Bank's building. Police activity had been heightened in preparation for tourists, travelers, and representatives throughout Sectilis. Something about a big "archaeological discovery" had surfaced, and now the world was called to find out what was up.

 

But, that was a story for another day for Sol, strolling through the streets and pushing those thoughts from his mind. All he really wanted was some good food right now.

~Yuna~

 

~Kalace~

 

Yuna was walking with her stepfather, Cielo, trying to find a good restaurant to eat. She felt nervous as a couple of men whistling at her. Cielo holds her close to comfort her and glared at the men. "Don't worry, dear. I won't let anyone hurt you." Yuna nods. "I wish i have enough courage to defend myself." She said. Yuna knows that Cielo isn't gonna live forever, knowing that he'll might die soon. She cried a little. Cielo looks at her confused. "Dear, what's wrong?" He asked. She shook her head while drying her tears. "It-it's nothing, really." They continued to walk and then later, found a four star restaurant.

-Zion: Kalace, Lieth-

 

She had traveled a long, long way in her life. Sitting atop the tallest building, toying with a nectarine but not eating, she mused on what the discovery was. her naive hope was that it was a way to save Xion, a way to make sure she wasn't alone anymore...a way to get back the one person she adored, that she loved with every fiber of her being. She sighed quietly and looked out across the city. It was the most technologically advanced place in the world, but she doubted they would really hold a candle to Forward Unto Dawn and Two Become One, her Secretcaliburs...her mighty blades, her instruments of justice. No, she feared nothing in this city. Just like she feared nothing outside it.

 

There was only one thing Zion feared anymore. And none of it was before her. 

Taking a bite of nectarine and savoring the flavor, she shifted her weight and toppled off the building, now falling. She calmly ate as she approached terminal velocity, then, about fifty feet from the ground, she flared out her wings. She caught the air and jerked up, before landing on the ground without a bad knee bend. Finishing her snack, she tossed the core away and started to walk, hands in her jacket pockets. Around her neck, the scarf Xion had given her decades ago for Christmas fluttered in the breeze. She adjusted her hat and continued.

Decades. When one was a divine creature, time was measured in decades, centuries, millennia.

 

Just like the time she had been away from the one she loved.

=Dalian- Kalance, Lieth= 

 

"Make sure to be home before midnight! Got that?" Dalian's mother called out to her as she slipped on her shoes.

"Yes mom. I know. I'm taking my bike. It's not that far away! I'll be with Dylan and Anna, and there will be more people from my friend group there." Dalian assured. 

"Dalian." her mother called, approaching her.

Dalian turned to look at her mother. 

"Yes mom?" 

"It's good that you are able to hang out with your old friends...even after you guys have graduated." her mother put her hands on Dalian's shoulders. 

Dalian smiled slightly. 

"You're so beautiful with your hair down." Dalian kind of backed away when her mother said that. 

"Okay mom. I have to go. I'll be late." Dalian then headed out the door, her mother waving bye. 

 

Dalian mounted on her bike, and started peddling away. She wasn't actually going to her friends house for Dylan's birthday party. She was going to her hideout. Her hideout was an old computer store located within the mostly run-down part of town. That is where her hideout was. It was where she was developing a type of exoskeleton. For herself, and for combat. She needed to program the mechanics of the finger parts tonight. And had until midnight...it was going to be a little hard, but she wanted to get the left hand finished today. Dalian was gifted in the engineering and sciences, and if she hadn't been so gifted in these skills, she wouldn't be able to make this exoskeleton.

- Invidia Reyes, "Archangel" - Kalace, Lieth -

 

Police activity was high, the anticipation for the archaeological discovery was growing and Invidia braced himself internally as he walked through the streets of Kalace, for he knew that calls or direct talks would come regarding the more despicable individuals that would surface, wanting this discovery and whatever fruit it would bear. For now though, he could just walk, his coat and hat over the rest of his clothing, making him indistinguishable from the average person, yet not too stagnant to blend in totally. Scientific discoveries were always all the rage, no matter what they were, attracting people from all departments and callings who were interested and of course, those of dubious moral qualities.

 

Science was a wonderful thing, yet also an utterly terrible act when in the wrong hands...and Invidia considered it a duty to ensure it ended up in the right hands, the hands that would use the knowledge or fruits to benefit the world rather than themselves or to make others suffer as he did.

 

Regardless, these empty streets would soon be bustling with eager intellects and curious sorts. Yet, it seemed the latter had arrived early as rounding a corner was a peculiar couple. One who's head was but an enchanted pumpkin, the other, well, many knew her. He chose to pay them no heed, preferring to resume his walk past them, though the pumpkin-headed one paid him a side glance as they walked on by.

 

 

- Lucia, The Witch of the Wilds - Kalace, Lieth -

 

The coated man they passed had no desire to talk with them, a pity she thought, but soon, many more would arrive just dying for that extra step ahead of the rest. They would all flock to The Witch of the Wilds in due time...

 

For now, they merely needed to wander the streets, stretch their legs a little as The Reaper followed his Mistress at her left side, their walking pace slow and methodical. In the corner of her eye, she noticed a young boy, his walk ever so slightly impeded by a pained leg but his gaze one without a care for what was happening. Once more, The Reaper paid him a glance as they walked on by, though after passing a small distance, Lucia gently extended a hand in front of her Servant, stopping him.

 

 

- The Reaper, Servant of the Witch - Kalace, Lieth -

 

"Someone catch your eye?" The Witches Servant spoke in a quiet voice, obviously as not to alert their target.

 

"He seems a curious sort, and a handsome one to boot. Though, I want to know what you think, my dear servant..." The Witch too spoke quietly, a sensual whisper even as she lightly glided her hand up The Reaper's chest.

 

"He doesn't seem particularly mighty, but, perhaps he makes up for it with brains? Or maybe his skills....what are you thinking?" He answered, his head tilting ever so slightly.

 

"Oh, we shall see~ Let us follow." She concluded, her hand gliding again, this time to The Reaper's chin, sliding off as she turned around to follow the boy (Sol), The Reaper following suit, the both of them doing their best not to follow him too directly to lower suspicion.

-Sol - Kalace, Lieth-

 

Sol walked home in almost a strut, grumbling about the event that transpired down at the Whirlpool Bank. Jamming his hand in his pocket, and still a bit jittery in the leg, Sol looked across the street to a small, well-known Kalace restaurant, Norise. He remembered the first time he saved up the money to chow down at Norise; the food was something engraved in his mind. I should have some ingredients at home that should work... maybe I'll whip up something sweet, Sol thought. He looked back up at the sky, as a bird flew by the moonlight. The guy in Norise said his eyes kinda sparkled like the moonlight. 

 

The city was a great big world itself.. There were lots of different people around, lots of cultures to absorb from all over the world. It was a life that he could get behind, no doubt. It was his comfort zone. His... safe space. He smiled a bit, then continued on home, oblivious to his pair of company. 

 

Moments later, Solace was barely comfortable twisting the key to his lock, for fear of breaking the dead silence. It always felt ominous and weird - nights get very quiet whenever the world is alerted with a new discovery, but the uncanny night just felt even more... different. Hurling his key on the countertop at home, Solace slung himself onto the couch, sprawling his arms along the head of the couch, his head cocked back and legs outspread. Solace embraced the quiet. Something warmly hospitable, something seductive wrapped Sol in a great warmth, almost as if something softly whispered a melody into his ear. He smelled something sweet, something like Dulce de Leche delicacies... like the scent of perfume. The comforting aroma and warmth lulled Sol to sleep...

Within Norise {Yuna}

---------------------------

 

A restaurant waiter, somewhere around his mid thirties was preparing to close up shop in Norise. Before turning off the lights, the waiter noticed a glisten in a girl's eye, walking with what looked like her father. A little sympathy caused him to beckon the girl inside. As they approached the counter, the waiter said "Go on ahead, go take a seat! I'll getcha somethin'. That is, if y'all don't mind." He beckoned the pair to a comfortable corner. "What's a gorgeous lil' lady like you doin' out this late at night? Y'all don't look like y'all from around these parts." He chuckled, a bit, then said "Ah, don't mind me. Silly question, of course everyone comes 'round to Kalace for a new dig!"

Yuna blushes slightly. "O-oh umm. Thank you." Cielo chuckles quietly as him Goes inside of the restaurant. Cielo looks at him and said. "We just came here from Rinde." (Sorry about that. ) Yuna nods shyly. "This is my daughter, Yuna. And I'm Cielo." After that, they sits down, waiting for the waiter.

- Hanz Arstor - Within the city of Kalace - 

 

Aahh, Kalace, a city of science, and technological splendor, this was a great thing, for one with the ever increasing rise of technology, less beliefs there was on religion on the city, and second, since it was nowhere near Rinde and its villages, he was not a wanted man in the city...not officialy, any bounty hunter from Rinde could spot him clear as day, but they wouldn't be as stupid to pick a fight head on. They knew all too well that was not the brighest of ideas. Wearing his jacket and a nice grey fedora, which covered most of his head, and looked stylish as hell, as it should, he paid a pretty penny for it...hopefully it was as durable as the vendor said...

 

Hanz blended amongst the crowd, well, what little crowd there were at the streets this time of day anyway. WHere were he heading? Nowhere, he just wanted to walk, possibly eat something. Frankly he didn't know anything about the city. in fact the whole reason he was here was because of a 'revolutionary excavation' or some such, it was interesting enough to get him there. Although he had a feeling this wasn't gonna be just a normal sightsee...not for him.

 

He did spot some unique individuals amongst the crowd, in particular a blonde woman with some...unique clothes and what looked like her bodyguard, the first thing that came to his head was that they missed halloween or something. But alas, he passed by them, neutraly, if they paid attention they could spot him, but they wouldn't feel anything coming off him, no aura, no might. Nothing...for better...or for worse. As usualy even normal men with no magic have auras that can be felt. Not Hanz however, a perk of being partially void.

 

"Where the heck do I go..." Hanz asked himself. "I am so lost." He commented. With a sigh. Tipping his fedora, like a wannabe gangster or some such. He loved his hat.

The waiter grinned at the two. Heading towards the kitchen, he said "Well, alright then. Call me Nickel. I'll get you the house special." The cook ventured into the back, skillfully creating a char-grilled dish of tilapia fish and a small pie slice the size of a knife. Returning to the pair, he started off "I'm the owner of this here place. Been a dream since I was a little boy. My, the times." Nickel paused. "Y'know the secret to my dishes? Some good ol' magic. Went through one hell of a sucker time that was." The man rambled, like he hadn't had company in years, making extravagant stories about his adventures in his younger years and his adventure to Lieth from Pollis. He then came to a rather intriguing topic that he thought the daughter and father would come to be curious about.

 

"Hey," Nickel whispered. "Heard some gossipin' 'round these tables. 'Bout the new thing they're tryna show 'morrow?" He laughed a bit, saying "Boy, them stories were right wild out there. I'll let you in on a secret though. 'Says, that thing's supposed to be a real shocker - some way gon' make the sun shine longer an' everybody singin' an' jumpin for joy." Finally realizing how long he's talked, Nickel stated "Oh boy, I talk up a storm. I know y'all gotta git on goin'. Don't let me hold ya."

- Invidia Reyes, "Archangel" - Kalace, Lieth -

 

After passing the odd couple, Invidia's mind was briefly wrapped in thought, as those two were curious indeed. The Witch, what was her plan? And her guard, what exactly was he? To be fair, considering his own nature, he wouldn't be one to talk, though the humour could be appreciated as he chuckled quietly to himself.

 

His thoughts were ceased when in the corner of his eye, he spotted an individual whose clothing was rather similar to his, coat, hat and all, though his hat was a fedora and a rather fetching one at that. It was noteworthy, enough for him to pay a proper glance at the man and just go; "Hmm."

 

- The Witch and The Reaper, Sol's Homestead -

 

The boy they were following, after doing a couple of things was far more focused on returning to his residence than keeping an eye on his surroundings, allowing Lucia and her servant to tail him perfectly, slipping inside the building shortly after Sol locked his door. The Reaper saw that he had begun to relax upon his couch and signaled his Mistress to follow him inside the room.

 

Strangely, the boy was already asleep, his face bore an expression of warmth and bliss, eliciting a quiet chuckle from The Witch.

 

"It seems he is asleep...he must be susceptible to your scent and aura, my mistress." The Reaper quietly commented, eyeing Sol closely, watching his eyes dart around behind the cover of their lids, indicating REM Sleep.

 

"And it's perfect, you see...just watch~" The Witch played more of a part than The Reaper noticed, but that didn't matter, as now she had sat down next to the boy and raised her hand, it now aglow and channeling a faint aura, a spell, to Sol's head.

=Dalian, heading towards hideout- Kalance, Lieth= 

 

As Dalian began biking near her hideout, she would cruise, looking around at the people near her. Strange as always. One person caught her eye though. Someone heading down the dead end road that lead to her hideout. She began peddling faster, and pressed the breaks as soon as she crossed paths with the man named Hanz. 

"If you are looking to get back into downtown, you need to head east." Dalian suddenly spoke up, giving the man a stare-down almost. 

"I suppose you aren't really around here. This is a dead end rode with my hideout down it. I prefer if nobody bothers my stuff please." she said with actually a little bit of a rude voice. 

"Don't loose your hat. People might take such a shiny thing." she gave Hanz a little bit of advice before beginning to pedal away again. 

"Don't get lost again!" she called, waving. 

[Scrapmaster 1,731]

- Hanz Artors - Near Dalian's hideout -

 

It didn't take long for Hanz's wanderings to bring him to a dead end on the road. On an act of sarcasm, or just plain confusion, Hanz was limited to only gestures as the young lady who crossed paths with him riding her bike began to barrage him with statements. A Childish point at the dead end as she spoke about the hideout, with clear confusion and curiosity in his face.

 

Second he held tightly onto his hat as she complimented it and spoke about its possible loss. With a scared expression, Hanz was just playing along by now, out of sheer confusion and surprise.

 

Before he could muster up any words she took off with her bike, giving him directions and whatnot all he could do was slowly wave back at her as he stood there, confused to all hell. 

Hanz did not mutter any words, or make any comments, this was just too much of a surprise to him. He embarrassedly began walking the way she advised him would be the way to downtown.

Cielo and Yuna were eating their food while listening to Nickel's stories. After that, Yuna was interested about what he just said. "Wow, really?" She asked. They finished their food and Cielo chuckles as he pays the man. "Thank you for the meal. And it is late already. We should go back to my friend's home. He lives a few blocks away from here." He gets up and felt a sharp pain coming from his chest as he placed his hand on it. Yuna gets up quickly and goes to him. "Daddy, are you ok?" She asked him. Yuna begin to worried about Cielo. He laughs a bit. "I'm fine, dear." They left the restaurant and went to Cielo's friend's house.

----Sol, Sol's Nightmare----

 

 

 

 

Sol landed in what seemed like an endless black hallway, a white light glistening in the distance. He jogged at first, then ran towards it, but the light never seemed to glow closer. He frantically ran, the walls sinking closer in and the light growing dimmer, until the ground collapsed into an endless pit of darkness. The darkness felt oddly comforting, enveloping him.

 

Embracing him.

 

Sol found himself on the ground, a hellish space around him. The flames warmed his skin. His eyes turned a blood red, as blood dripped down them. He thought he heard a chuckle in the dream - but Sol was never afraid. He felt at home. The dream showed a face - a woman's face, licking her lips in pleasure, then Sol began sputter and choke. He suffocated, but he wouldn't become unconscious. The woman stepped closer to Sol, grabbing his shirt and jerking him towards her, creeping her hand up Sol's suffocating neck, then leaning in close to his lips, while Sol choked in excruciating pain...

 

------The Next Day...--------

Sol jerked awake, breathing heavily and sweat dripped down his face, as he lay on the floor face down. His head ached tremendously, and he wobbled as he stood. Sol checked himself in the mirror, and noticed a little nick on the front of his neck - the same place that woman had touched him in the dream. Must've scratched myself against something, he thought.

 

Sol made a simple breakfast - just some toast and bacon and headed outside. Kalace was back to normal, it's streets flooded with traffic and sidewalks bustling with people, either walking to get somewhere, taking pictures, or just hanging out. The Basque, a great dome-shaped stadium was only a couple blocks away from where he was. It was often a place he loved to study, but he knew these discoveries would cause the Basque to be extremely crowded. Sol smiled and continued on.

~Corvus~

 

~His house, Lieth~

 

A boy with the metal arm was still asleep, snoring loudly and drools a little. Then all of the sudden, a loud rock music started playing on his phone, Woking Corvus up and made him fell onto the ground. "Ughh..." he gets his phone and turned off the alarm. "Corvus! Breakfast's ready!" Said by his mother. "Okay!" He exclaimed. Corvus gets dressed and goes downstairs.

 

~Yuna~

 

~Kalace, Lieth~

 

Yuna left her house and walks through the street. She looks at the map, thinking about where does she wants to go first. "Hmmm.... let's see here...."

[Clouded Sun 1,232]

-Sol - On the way to the Basque-

 

Sol continued on down the path to the Basque, looking to a girl staring at a street map. He called to her.

 

"Hey, need any help?" Sol walked closer, and looked a bit closer at her. A Toria! He thought, staring in fascination towards her extremely fluffy fox ears and tail. There weren't many Toria fond of the city of Kalace, but he got to see some really rare types - including reptiles and sharks - during the time that there was a discovery in Lieth. The fox ears and tail took the cake though, when it came to cuteness. Sol tried to restrain a dumb grin, yet to no avail.

[Yessie Maltese 1,564]

~Yuna and Corvus~

 

~Kalace, Lieth~

 

Yuna then looks at the guy, asked if she needs help. She nods and said. "Umm, yes. Do you know a best place to-" she noticed that he stared at her, grinning at her. She felt really nervous. "Umm. Is something wrong?" She asked.

 

"I gotta go, mom! See you later!" He said as he gets on his bike and started peddling. "Hope I don't screw up at work this time." He continues peddling as he looks around and saw A girl with Fox ears and tail and a guy with black hair. He stopped and continued to looks at them. (No way, a fox Toria! And a cutie too!) he thought as he grinned.

"Yeah, ummmm...."

 

Sol stammered a bit, embarrassed by his staring. Scrambling for an excuse, he bellowed out "I-I just, ya know, was checking out the, uh, checking out your-I mean, my...." Sol tried his best to change the subject, avoiding eye contact with the girl. "Just, uh, really happy to help, ya know?"

- Invidia Reyes, "Archangel" - Kalace, Leith -

 

The sassy child confused Invidia as much as it befuddled the other hat-wearing fellow (Hanz), her attitude notwithstanding, the fact that her oh so secret hideout matters to her so much that she told them both precisely where it was located. "Young fool." Reyes commented in his head, then giving a tip of the hat to her as she left anyway, then he attempted to catch up to the other man, now knowing any conversation would be easier with that to talk about. Plus, he had a rather fetching hat. (Don't ignore me this time, Scrap. )

 

- The Witch and The Reaper, The Basque, Kalace, Lieth -

 

Observing from a distance, but visible nonetheless, The Witch of the Wilds eyed her prey with The Reaper, the Basque Stadium would be crowded soon, people willing to bargain with her shall flock to this place like moths to the flame.

 

"There will be so many willing souls gathering here soon...but, this boy...why do you find him so fascinating?" The Reaper asked his mistress. The Witch smirked, eyeing her servant and rubbing his chin.

 

"Ohh, he is but something to pass the time...though his power I sensed was...interesting. He might prove to be quite valuable to us, so fret not~" Her voice briefly slipped into a sultry one as she talked about Sol, the boys potential piqued her interest greatly.

 

"Hmm, perhaps you're right...that would explain the, fun, you had in his nightmare." The Reaper's response was followed by a deep chuckle, then a shorter, delighted chuckle from The Witch, who glided her hand off of her partner.

 

"He'll be remembering that dream right now, I can feel it~"

-Zion: The Basque, because she's awesome-

 

"You know, Witch, if you acted any more sleazy and creepy I could win a case in court against you."

 

Behind Witch Bitch and Jeepers Reapers was a girl clad in white, eating a peach. She was enjoying it pretty good, actually. It was quite delicious. But what was not delicious, were these two sullying Lieth. She detached from the wall and calmly walked around, planting herself in front of Lucia. Ah, the intoxicating scent of Succubi. She smirked a bit, tossing the now eaten peach away. She looked up, adjusting the white hat to look at Lucia. My, what a pathetic excuse for a Succubus. The fact she was the same species as her lost Xiona made her angry. She gritted her teeth, keeping the smirk.

"To think I'd find the most infamous Witch Bitch to ever come from the womb of a Succubus here." She seemed extremely lax, not really caring she was next to a very big monster named Reaper. "Jeepers Reaper, getting fed well? Gotten bigger. I mean bigger sideways too." She said. Zion was very, very uncaring of being respectful. She had heard enough from Succubi who inhabited Avalon and Arundel to know. She stuck her hands in her pockets, her scarf sliding a bit as she talked.

"Anyways. I'd move along and cause a commotion in whatever other town allows you...because quite frankly, I don't need to end up with a trail of dead bodies leading back to some rat-infested cave now, do I?"

"Well, aren't you just a charmer~?" The Witch of the Wilds wasn't particularly fussed with the insults thrown her way, nor Xion's "creative" nicknames for the both of them, The Reaper was even less bothered, hardly paying Xion any heed. "Besides, shouldn't it be recognized that a Succubus has to do what she has to do to survive? Why would you shame me so~?" Lucia spoke in a mocking faux-innocent voice, her hands upon her hips and her general body language indicating her lack of care, then she threw off the facade utterly with a hand wave. "Please, I've been called all the names in the book and they all just amused me." The Witch dismissed Xion's snark, then looked her in the eyes. "Look, you're quite ravishing and everything, but I have a busy schedule to attend to...and I wouldn't want you to cause too much trouble for me and my partner, lest you regret it~" She casually threatened the scarf wearing girl, The Reaper responding in turn, standing slightly in front of Lucia, his arms folded.

 

"Now, if you wouldn't mind...I have people to see. Run along~" Lucia concluded teasingly, adding in a little tip of her hat and a devilish chuckle.

~Yuna and Corvus~

 

~Kalace, Lieth~

 

Yuna nods, wondering why he's looks embarrassed. "I see. Anyways, My name is Yuna, Yuna Orchid. Do you know a shop that has flowers?" She asked, moving her tail around. Corvus smiles as he took his phone and takes a picture of her and the guy. He then realized something. "Oh crap! I'm gonna late!" He began to paddling again and heading to the Café. He peddling faster and faster. During that, he still thinking about the girl.

Corvus smiles as he took his phone and takes a picture of her and the guy. He then realized something. "Oh crap! I'm gonna late!" He began to paddling again and heading to the Cafe.

Sol scratched the back of his head a bit. He had the eerie feeling that the girl was eyeing him for a second- just, glaring. No, not Yuna. He'd been off put all morning, like someone was watching. He pushed the thought out of his mind for a second, then said to Yuna "Yeah, I basically know everything around here. There's a café up around where I'm going." Looking towards the crowd ahead at the Basque, Sol shrugged and said "I got a bit of time to spare. The main event isn't till noon. I'll take you there."

 

Sol motioned for Yuna to follow. "I'm Solace. Just Sol is cool." Sol looked around for a moment before turning, and told her "C'mon, this way." Sol paid attention to others as he walked by: some other Toria, some pandas and bunnies and birds. There was a street dancer Sol saw the other day, some young dude looked like he was hitting on a girl who wasn't so into him, and a couple looked like they were dressing up for some kind of spooky costume party. It was the norm in Kalace. And it eased his mind. The priority was heading to the café for Yuna.

- Hanz Artstor - Kalace -

 

"Well she gave me directions at least..." Hanz commented as he shrugged, and began to walk away towards downtown, with a casual look on his face, however it didn't take long for him to notice the hat wearing man who was near him, probably had overheard the girl speaking as well. Hanz figured he'd have to say something, as that man was awfuly silent...and he was following him.

 

Turning around to face the man (Invidia). Hanz looked at him with a casual expression, "Greetings sir...are you following me?" Hanz questioned him. "Or are you just lost as well?" Hanz added. Hanz was not trustful of this man in the least, but he did not have a lot to fear, his physiology made him awfully hard to kill after all.

-Zion: Witch Bitch gonna end up in a ditch-

 

Zion merely laughed. "I've ceased worrying about such lowly threats from outcasts like you. Need I remind you, Lucy, my wife was the Queen of your species. I know very well the powerful hunger...no, you see Lulu..." she floated up, sta ring Lucia in the eyes. "I know what you are. And saying I'll regret causing you trouble? Hah, you're funny." She merely smiled. "I only regret one thing, Lucy. Throwing your beautiful body in a ditch and lighting it on fire doesn't even have a priest in a brothel's chance of making it." She tipped her cap right back.

"Also, tell your pet to stay out of this. The Reaper should know death cannot touch me. Nor can you."
