The Hell's First (WAR and TRUTH 2.4)

[Volkmar Gamlxltoe]

Volkmar faceplammed at the face that he had to travel with this group. "I swear, there aren't any bigger idiots than those two." He said to Sayara as she floated next to him.
"I dunno, I think it's funny." She said as she chuckled.
"Then you can go talk to them." He said to her, with the tones of annoyance in his voice.

Sayara quickly vanished into Volkmar's shadow and came out of Vash's shadow, floating next to her brother.
"So, what is it that you need to know?"

[Enizo]

"Uh... well," Enizo blinked as Sayara appeared, "Thanks for offering, but you see, this God-Slayer isn't like a normal woman..."

Enizo paused, doing his best to select the right words so not to piss off the lady, "It'll take a true player to even crack the shell that she puts around her. She's like a turtle...! Except, you know, not green, slimy or wrinkly..."

"Okay so she's not like a turtle at all. I give up." Enizo hung his head in defeat.

Jan 24, 2013 14:21:10 GMT -5 Vash, the Angel's Moon said:

"LOVE AND.... PEACE! LOVE AND.... PEACE!"

'Guo couldn't place why... But for some reason... He suddenly had an urge to cry out his admiration for Love and Peace, as well as eat a profuse amounts of donuts... But he contained himself, and put it down to the fact that Shin was talking about their GREAT LEADER![/i]

"He's called Vash!" He said with a chuckle, throwing his free hand behind his head and leaning it back, staring upwards towards the sky, with a broad grin on his face. "He's a bit of a goof, and a helluva' liar, but I suppose that in some retrospect, you could call him a pretty cool guy...." His grin broadened for a moment before he looked back down to the earth, his face souring.

"Unless he asks you to pay the donut tab..." He turned to face Shin, his face pale, his eyes wide and terrifying.

"Never. Pay. The Donut tab."[/i]

[annabelle]

Enizo then would have felt a shove, surprisingly forceful for that of an old woman like Annabelle who followed closely along as they chattered about the young woman who'd been near death earlier.

"Oh pah! Women want a real man, one who'll look her in the eye and say 'you're beautiful! I'd love to take you out dancing!' not this...tittering about like little girls...you're all little girls!"

[glitters]

Jasmine blinked at Andy and paused for a long moment before speaking again.

"...Is it really the smartest idea to have us all venture over there to check it out, then?" she frowned, then looked over to The Other, "unless Lord Other wouldn't mind investigating it for us. I'm sure if it's some elaborate trap he could find his way out of it?"

It was partially in jest. But really, after having a beast hurled at her head it wouldn't bother Jasmine very much to see him struggle a little.

[Kazan]

"Look, can someone actually explain the big deal about this whole 'kissing' thing?!" Kazan demanded as he walked slightly behind Enizo with his hands lazing casually behind his head as his eyes narrowed.

"I mean... Sure... If she actually kissed you, I'd be all cool with it! But really..? She kissed you on the forehead Lemonface.... Oioioi..." He playfully nudged his fellow Guardian with his foot whilst they walked, a grin spreading across his face. "Maybe this is a sign, yeah? Maybe... Just maybe..." He suddenly jogged ahead, turning around to walk backwards, leaning in towards Enizio with that same sly grin. "Maybe you should go in... For the kill!" He poked Enzio in the face before jolting back and away from any incoming blows that might fly in his direction.

[Volkmar Gamlxltoe]

"Maybe you aren't wearing the right uniform?" Sayara asked as she tilted her head looking at him. "Maybe she is into guys that like to not wear shirts. Or likes men that wear fancy hats. Or perhaps." She floated right next to his ear and whispered, "You aren't on the team she prefers. " She then lifted her head away from his ear and chuckled.

Volkmar slapped his face again, all about this chat about girl and chatting... They were in a battle to save the world again, and they were talking about this.
How did I piss off Ketu and Luna. He thought, then he asked, "How much longer am I going to have to deal with the idiotic chat until we are this place?"

[Enizo]

"Y-yeah, but she's not like normal women! She doesn't like dancing and stuff, she likes... uh..." Enizo ran a blank in his head as he talked to Annabelle and he was about to go back into the 'turtle explanation' when Kazan cut off his line of thought when he injected his opinion which led to Enizo's famous lemon face, "The only one who I'm about to kill is YOU!"

Enizo reached down and picked up the biggest rock he could find before tossing it right at Kazan. He gave a huff of annoyance before he turned over at Sayara, "Oh she likes my team! I can tell you THAT for sure!"

...Actually he couldn't, but the mere thought of it annoyed him further.

[Kazan]

"Wahahahahaha!"

Kazan sidestepped the rock with ease as he clutched at his belly, chuckling to himself, before he suddenly paused and looked over his shoulder, his eyes narrowing and his ears seeming to twitch slightly. He stopped moving, his body suddenly become ever so still as he looked over his shoulder slightly, and held a hand out to the others in the group, requesting that they pause for a moment.

"There's others here..." He muttered, he lowered his hand, and spun around, his giant blade falling from the sky and into his open palm. He brought it down lightly, so that the edge of the sheath was jabbed into the ground next to his left foot whilst he held the hilt of the blade with his right hand. He raised his left hand before him, looking left and right.

"Oioi, Lemonface." He muttered "You can feel them too, right..? They're not a small group whatsoever..."

[Enizo]

Enizo stopped and leaned close to the ground, sniffing the air a little bit before closing his eyes and focusing on his surroundings, "Six or seven of them... not too far from here too..."

Enizo was used to being able to tell the amount of people by the rate of pounding being felt in the ground. It was one of the many talents taught when you become a Guardian.

"Stay silent and spread out. That's no Guardian scouting party of any sort..." Guardian scouts always moved in two's and any sort of larger group always traveled with a dozen or more troops, "This could be Duo's scouts or something. Let's ambush these guys before they have a chance to find us."

[Kato Shin]

I sighed at 'Guo and rolled my eyes. "Of course not, not with the way you all eat them. Pay your own donut tab." I crossed my arms.

That's when Bast spoke up from behind me - I hadn't even noticed she was gone. Damn.

"There's a group coming," she said quietly. "I couldn't make out anybody in particular, but there's a lot of power in there. Could feel it without getting close.... dind't want to risk anyone like Greenie, here."

I saw the indentation in the wrinkles on 'Guo's clothes, indicating that she'd probaly just smacked him on the shoulder or something.

I hated invisible people.

[Andy Jammer]

"You're right about that one..." He nodded to Jasmine, "I'm sure Dios or Monthu could easily slip in, see if its safe and get the rest of us..."

He paused for a moment, he felt...odd..in fact it wouldn't be just him, in that moment a strange wave of uneasiness passed through Guo and Jasmine. Like...like they were being watched, in that moment the mark on Andy's hand began to itch...he clenched his hand to a fist and felt a buzz run up his bones.

Nonetheless, the three of them felt that wave of...uneasiness. That wave was punctuated with Bast's announcement, when he did that he frowned.

"Could be a problem..." he tried to think of something, "Lets get out of sight for now."

He looked around and noticed some small huts that were bunched together enough that, if spread out, the space between the huts could easily hide their group. "Alright, split up, half of you on one side, the rest on another, Bast...keep cloaked but stay far, magic tends to sense even with technology so don't give them a reason to sense you - keep monitoring them. We'll wait for them to come here and see if they pass us by, if not, we ambush and question."

As he gave out quick instructions he turned to Jasmine, "Jas, tell me you know something like illusion or...cloaking spells or something."

[Sahir Masbrati]

The journey to Alberisato had been one of discovery, and discomfort to say the least. The trip's time had been largely absorbed by the contents of the Mistress' scroll revealing it's power to her, and for as much as it had made known to her there were still so many questions about the nature of Umbravox.

Of course, always in the background were the attentions of Enizo, lurking on the peripheries of her mind. As she feared the innocent kiss of thanks given to him had been taken to mean more, and even now it had seemed the boy's affections had drawn something of a loud conversation within the group. The whole thing made her once more conscious of her God-Slayer's outfit, and she couldn't help but draw her arms closed against her chest as a result.

She turned her eyes to Bang, one with whom she had spent some time with on the boat. A brief conversation had shown they shared a common view not only of magic, but their reasons behind it too. Though she had been tight lipped about her own origins, the knowledge of their commonalities had made her feel a sense of trust with the ninja. She opened her mouth to ask what she might do about Enizo, but somehow everything about the question seemed in poor taste.

Instead she thought to ask him about a different topic entirely. "Bang, what are we suppose to do if we get to this place and those guys from before are already there? That one man, or thing, whatever he was, seemed too much for us, and with Duo appearing we didn't stand a chance. What if that was jut a warning to keep us away, and this time he decided to make sure we don't get up? I'm, I'm scared..."

Dral, having kept pace with them on foot, stayed silent for most of the trip to Heaven's Last. While recovered thanks to Annabelle's elixir his wings were still too kinked up to fly as well as he did before the encounter in Vuoto. Upon hearing Sahir's laments he whined and drew his head close in some hope of comforting her.

[A.B.A.]

Staying in the middle of the band of warriors, Velestia Normire meandered back and forth, listening in on the open conversations within the group. Despite the asinine back and forth at times, real info could be gleaned from Enizo every once in a while, so it was near him that she stayed closest to.

Feigning a naive girl's panic on the field of battle she griped his arm tight and pulled herself close to him. "Duo's forces? Please Enizo, tell me what to do. I'm not a fighter, but you're so strong, surely you'll look after me." She looked down at him, giving her sweetest puppy dog eyes to the boy.

[The Other]

"Hmph, already looking to depend on me once more little girl? I thought I told you all that you were not worthy of my strength till you proved yourselves." He let out a miserable skronk at Jasmine.

Andy's plan caused him to knit his brow and grumble, "First Duo's critters, and now huts cause you mortals such panic? My, this should be some sight." Plunking himself down the Other resigned himself to a cross-legged seat out in the open, merely observing his travelling cohorts act.
