Devion sighs as he looks around, his purple gaze drifting around the people. He watches NPCs interact with one another, tongue wetting his dry lips. Today Kolt said something about being fair skinned and haired. He knows she prefers males, but the pickings seem to be slim. He sighs and adjusts his headphones. Guess this just means that he'll have to interact with some of these people.
"Great... Somebody shoot me."
He then steps from the darkened corner he had been sitting in, cooling off, and watching people. Sure, this place isn't as warm a the desert, but its still warm to him. Walking between stalls he notices the Sushi Bar is having a sale today. He may go and get some. But first...people hunting...

It was another instance of Jared having wandered away from his designated territory. It wouldn't be for long but he was curious about who he might have to face down the line. Watching them he almost wished he'd chosen to fly over them with Drake and give them a bit of a scare instead of landing a fair distance back and choosing to walk the rest of the way.
It was almost disappointing as he watched them from where he sat, they all looked so weak but he knew better. He knew that those who survived would grow up to be stronger and potentially face him in his own land. What he hadn't expected to see, however, was one of the other Inverses. He'd expected even less that it would be the least social of their kind.
With his interest piqued he stood and wandered over to the boy in question. Jared approached him from behind but stopped just out of range of a punch or other melee attack. "So, what brings you out here?" He asked with an inquisitive expression.

Devion pauses in his careful stepping around people, a frown coming onto his face. His senses pick up someone talking to him so he reaches up and adjusts the volume on his headphones. Looking around he sees not only an Inverse comrade, but the perfect pick for Kolt. He sighs, muttering, "No. No... I'll just have to look into the females, I guess." Then he looks to the other and blinks before shrugging. "I'm sorry. I couldn't hear you. Care to repeat that?" Somehow he has a feeling its going to be pointing out that he's actually wandering about rather than chilling in the small lake next to Kolt's temple. Twisting the cord for the headphones in his fingers he waits, eyes nervously examining the other.

Jared raised an eyebrow at Devion's remark about looking into females for Kolt. He was familiar with who Kolt was, if only by word of mouth. Every one of them had to beat the Boss Glitch in each of their territories to gain them in the first place. In his case, that was Drake. A moment later it's made clear that Devion didn't hear him and Jared waited before the headphones were removed before he spoke again. "I said, what brings you out here? It's a bit odd to see you outside of the desert. You probably leave your area the least of all of us."
As he said this he briefly glanced around at the players in the area. It was not that he was afraid of being heard, if informed players decided they wanted to challenge the Inverse pair then Jared had no doubt that they could decimate the players. Whether or not Shade appreciated that was another thing entirely.

Devion blinks before giving an "oooooh" expression. He gives a small, almost unapparent smile, "Hey. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta eat. Kolt wanted something fair. So. I'm shopping for fair." He shrugs and then adjusts his headphones again, making sure the volume isn't touched. Then he looks around again, his voice bored as he speaks. "And you? I bet Drake wasn't looking for a tasty snack, was he?"

Jared laughed and shook his head. "No, not really. Besides, he usually prefers the ones that can put up a bit of a fight unless he's in the right mood. None of the ones here really fit the bill." He shrugged slightly and adjusted the emergency dagger at his side to be sure that it moved smoothly in its sheath. "No, just bored."

"Mmmm," Devion nods slowly before looking back at the blond. He blinks before sighing and shrugging. "..." He bites the inside of his cheek as he regards the other. If this was someone with a higher rank than him he would probably of just blurted out something he wouldn't enjoy they could do together, if it had been that Hope Person... He would of jut ignored him completely... As it is... Its Jared... So he shrugs...
"Well... I guess... We could cause a commotion around here..." He shrugs as he pulls down his hood, purple gaze flicking around before returning to Jared. "Maybe... Idunnowhattodo... How about a scripted scrap? I bet that could draw interesting attention." He shrugs again, wetting his lips with his tongue again as he looks around again, the people pressing in on his making him feel claustrophobic.
He sighs and waits as he looks to Jared again.

Things were silent for a few moments longer, Jared just looking out at the players. However, when Devion did speak Jared could not help the smile that crossed his features. Yes, that definitely sounded entertaining and it would teach the players to be on their toes at the very least, not that the latter mattered much to him. "How could I turn down an idea like that?"
With that he drew the short sword he'd brought along specifically in case he managed to cause a little mayhem, his rifle nowhere in sight (updated his weaponry in his profile). "How do you want to start this?"

Devion blinks before shrugging, "I dunno. Grab a random person and cut 'em?" He shrugs more. "At least the panic mode for the NPCs will kick in then."

"It's as good a method as any." Jared said before he walked out into the crowd where he grabbed onto a random passerby and slashed them with the blade he held. The person let out a pained cry and Jared let them twist away. Sure enough the alarm started to go up from the NPCs around them, various stalls closing but the surrounding players just looked bewildered. He guessed it was because they were unsure as to why a "player" would attack one of their own.
Jared chuckled and looked to Devion. "I guess they need some more incentive."

Devion sighs as he pulls out a small, yet extremely thick cylinder from his pocket. He brings his hand up and then drops it in graceful arch, it extends and thins to a sturdy and long metal pole. Next thing he does is adjust his music and volume level. Backside of the TV from Person 4 starts to blare from the metal that is covering his ears, he flicks something and its put on a constant loop. Humming a little to himself he sways a little to the beat as he examines the crowd. Most people look like they're panicking, but one person stares directly at him, examining him. She's a distance away, with hair like the color of blood, a small frown on her face. The boy felt a grin creep onto his face as he leaps forward, his movements a little slower than Jared's and strikes don't seem to be as powerful. But the metal pole slams into a nearby, newbie player. They shriek as pain wracks down their back followed by their feet being swiped from them. " Captured, helpless, ultimate, dreadful fate, powerless, lifeless, no breath, falling down," He mutters as the player scrambles back, fear on their face. Dragging the pole with him he turns his head so his bangs are covering his eyes, though he's watching the red head. She's staring at him in disgust now. At least she's doing something. Most people seem to have scrambled. Jared knows what he's doing. Devion knows what he's doing. This person's main fears are of pain and death, this player whom can only crawl away from him. He looks back to them as he senses a cool shadow creep over them. When their back reaches wood, the stall behind them, gasp. The Inverse looks up with a wicked grin. He really doesn't mind this part of coming into town. Slowly he raises the pole from the ground and up above him. " No sanity, body aching, control your own fate, invisible, real enemy, ruin your mind, deep down." With a flick of his forearm the metal weapon cuts through the air to crack into bone and flesh. But as it soars down a red and black blur comes in between him and his victim. The girl not even making a sound as she is struck. Her body curls around the other player, he can't hear her whisper gentle words of comfort, but he sees her tighten her grip on the other. He shrugs. And repeats the slamming of the metal pole down into the immobile and soundless girl. Once he sees her bite her lip in pain and one hand lets go of the person below her to dig into the ground he nods and looks back to see what Jared is up to. Or, even for that matter, if this girl is apart of a group. She looks kinda like one of the girls from that stupid player group Shade wanted to play most with. Adjusting the volume he absentmindedly flicked the metal down again as he searches for the information he wanted. |

As the players started to flee Jared quickly went to work. He was careful not to kill any for the moment but that certainly didn't mean he was above grievously injuring them. By the time he looked back to Devion both the blade of his sword and the fingers of the hand holding the blade were stained with blood.
It appeared that someone had gotten between Devion and his target, undoubtedly some foolish low-level player trying to play the hero. He turned from his fleeing quarry and instead made his way over to the trio, his eyes trained on the figure of red and black out of pure interest. "Well, isn't this interesting." Jared said as he came to a stop once he reached the pair.

Devion watched with mild interest as Jared moved closer, he didn't even notice as the red head ushered the other player into the store front next to the booth. When he looked back he saw he trying to get away and swatted her back with his metal pole. Vaguely he heard Jared's words and reaches up to his headphones again, turning down his volume. He nods, “She... got in the way...” Shrugging he adds. “Wanna have fun with her?” The girl's gaze is holding onto both them, as if she's not afraid of what they could do.

Jared raised a brow at the girl's attempt to get away right before Devion swatted her across the back. "So I can see." He said in agreement before a smirk flitted across his features at Devion's words. "Hmm, fun." Jared said as if pondering the aspect as he brought his blade up to rest the flat of it along her jawline. It was as if he were inspecting her, turning the blade ever so slightly so that the sharp point would force her head to turn this way and that, smearing the residual blood from the blade onto her skin. "Isn't she one of the ones that Shade has taken an interest in? If she is then you know we can't damage her too much." He tilted his head, still looking at her with what seemed like callous green eyes. "Still, that doesn't stop us from having 'fun' with her, as you put it."

Jared thought over it for a moment before he seemed satisfied with whatever he'd devised. He placed the blade under her chin, the point aimed at her throat, and tapped the dull part upwards against her chin. "Come on, up." He ordered before he smiled. "And don't think of disobeying or struggling. I have no problems with slitting your throat right here."

The red head blinked at him, a moment of confusion appearing on her face before she slowly stood, for some reason she doesn't seem all too disturbed by the blood on her face and she hold's Jared's gaze now. Devion looks between the two, pondering, but he doesn't speak. Instead he fingers his pole lightly, the quiet music comforting him from the presence of people too close to him. The girl waits and so does the Inverse, both wondering what Jared is up to.

Jared wasted no time and removed his blade from her throat but instead grabbed the back of her neck with his other hand. "Here's what we'll do." He said as he began steering the girl out onto open ground. "To have survived this long, especially without her element, she probably has a group." He walked the girl out onto a flat expanse of land, only briefly glancing to Devion as he spoke. "I say one of us take her back to our territory and see just how long it takes for them to notice she's gone or to what lengths they will go to get her back."
Jared found it to be an interesting prospect to say the least, whether Shade thought so would be another thing entirely but... Jared would cross that bridge when he came to it. "So that begs the question. Do you want to take her or should I?" He asked before he whistled loudly, a distant roar answering him a moment later.

Devion blinks as the girl makes a small, scared noise. He shrugs before shaking his head, "I can't bring her... Kolt wants meat... She'll be eaten. You take her... But, if you wanna play a little bit of game master with her group, I'll babysit for you while you're out." He shrugs again as he watches the girl steel herself as she walks, its as if she's trying to not cry. Either she's trying to be brave or very prideful. Either way he detracts his pole. "And I still need to people hunt. Best if you take her, J..." Whether it was the idea of secrecy that drove him to not finish Jared's name or laziness the question won't be answer anytime soon as Devion spots a young looking girl down the way. He sighs. She's a brunette with mocha colored skin and dark eyes, but she would make a good meal for Kolt...
"Hmm... People hunting is tiring..." He sighs and nods to his comrade. "... I suggest you don't do it..."

"Drake's more than capable of hunting for his own food. I think he'd take offence if I did it for him." He replied with a laugh even as Drake's form appeared on the horizon, getting closer every moment. "All right, I'll take her back with me and I'll send word if I need you to keep an eye on her. This should prove to be very entertaining." Jared grinned in anticipation just as Drake arrived, the large wyvern landing on the ground a few feet away.
"This will be pretty unfortunate if you're scared of heights. Not that I care too much." He told the girl as he used his grip on the back of her neck to force her to walk to the wyvern. Drake turned his head to look at her, his beady eyes peering at her and taking stock of the girl his ally had in his grip.

The girl only shutters a little as she's forced onto the wyvern's back, its warm body heat pulsing into her. Fear gripped her a moment and those beady eyes didn't help, the shutter runs up her spine, down her arms, and into her hands. Her fingers curl into tight fists as she forces herself to calm down. Devion had watched her until a female's voice reaches beyond his headphones shouting something like 'hey! what's going on!?', looking over he sees the other girl he had spotted, "Hey, J...? I'm gonna so something very unlike my class..." He then walks towards the girl with a gentle smile. "Hello! I would like to introduce myself. I am Ion, a master of water and metal, I am looking for a someone to help me with a quest."
The new girl raises a brow as he stops in front of her, a good three feet away from the other two, "Uh-huh... Why don't I believe you." As the girl opens her mouth again Devion whips out his pole again, whacking her hard against the neck [and a pressure point]. She drops down and the boy rolls his eyes as he gathers him in his arms.
"Well, you should of. I am a master of water and metal after all," He shrugs before turning back to Jared. "Do you have room for two more?" The red head is rigid now, it seems she jut realized how powerful these two really are... or maybe she just realized they were both Inverses rather than Players...? Either way her eyes are frantic, but she stays quiet, not wanting to be killed in the process of shouting or struggling.

Jared forced the girl up onto the Wyvern, the beast bowing low so that it would not be more difficult. Of course, at that moment someone seemed to get an inkling of what they were doing. Jared very nearly chose to cut her down but, thankfully, Devion came up with an alternative. Using Drake's wing joint Jared hauled himself up to sit behind the girl but did not order Drake to take off just yet. Instead he watched Devion work with a smile of amusement. Pretending to be a player, it was an interesting tactic and one that he would have to remind himself to use at some point.
Unfortunately for the new girl, she didn't believe Devion and was laying in a heap a moment later. As his comrade asked if he had room for two more Jared gestured for Devion to get on. "Of course, Drake can more than handle four people. Bring her over here and we'll make sure she's secure before we leave."

Devion nods and half drags, half carries this girl over with a couple grunts. Once they're close enough he begins to try and push her up so they can get her on the wyvern, "Mmm... Difficult..." Turning his purple gaze onto Jared he asks. "A little help?"

"If I have to." Jared jested and twisted slightly so as to help Devion situate the girl on Drake's back. "We won't have to fly for very long, Drake can be quite fast when he feels like it."

Devion smiles as he climbs up behind the girl, "Great... You'll want to leave before Kolt starts eating though. She's messy. Even though she could swallow people whole." He sighs and shakes his head. "Plus... She plays with her food..." Making sure the girl is secure as well as himself he nods.
Meanwhile the red head is biting her lip, freaking out internally.

Jared chuckled and spurred Drake on, the creature huffing before he reared up to free his wings from bearing his weight. "I know what you mean. Drake has some messy eating habits of his own." He responded as he sheathed his short sword and put one arm around the redhead to prevent her from trying a last ditch escape attempt. Drake suddenly lurched forward and ran at full speed to gather air under his wings. It didn't take very long at all and they were soon airborne, getting higher with every passing moment. "We'll go see Kolt so that you can feed her. After that I'll take this one back to my home."

The girl wasn't struggling anyways. She knew what she got into and if she could act as entertainment and keep these people from beating on more players then she'll let herself be taken. Though she is still rigid and biting her lip though.
Devion nods, "Sound perfect." For the flight he adjusts his volume the volume to be just loud enough to be comforting, but quiet enough he could still talk to Jared if need be.

Drake's large wings carried them swiftly across the game's landscape until they eventually flew over white and shifting sands. "So, what do you plan to do? Just drop her and let Kolt have her or should I have Drake land so you can go meet her?"

Post by [Dev]Ion on Apr 30, 2014 8:01:50 GMT
Devion sighs, "Land. Otherwise I'll be bitched at later..." He then shifts, moving the girl about as he holds her in place at the same time. "Although... If you want you could just leave us and I'll come by later to find out the full plan..."

Jared thought over it for a moment even as he gave the signal for Drake to land. "It's probably best if you come by later. I still need to make accommodations back home." He replied as the wyvern landed on the shifting sand. It was indeed something he'd have to do since he hadn't exactly factored in guest rooms when building his little fortress.
