A Shadow in the Night ( )

Postby Nihilum on Sun Jan 24, 2010 7:59 pm

It was a dark night in the city. Within the night were the creatures of the night, vicious muggers, drug dealers, prostitutes, and the beasts who inhabit the city. The night was a dangerous time, you're not safe, even if you're in a place you believe to be the safest place to be. On this night it is proven that you are in fact, never safe.

A large man in expensive red clothing [For visual, look at the last man to die in the video= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVWhWsgHzKM ]Walked into a large sky scraper like building. With him were five soldiers in armor usually only given to the army. They had automatic rifles and body armor. At his side were two of the soldier, and one in the back. They crossed the lobby of the building and stepped into an elevator. The doors closed and they went up.

A hooded man in black clothe and beat up metal armor stood atop a building beside the one that the other six were in. He took a jump and shot off from the building. The jump was long, closing distance inhumanly. He dove into an open window and rolled on the floor. He stood up, not having made much of a noise at all. He quickly ran to the entrance to the stairwell. The man ran up the stairs at inhuman speeds going to the top.

The large man, whose name is Biarto, and the soldiers hit the top floor. The stepped out of the elevator and walked down the hallway. Still in the formation they had entered in. The walked to two doors made of gold, and laced with jewels. Biarto reached the door and pulled out a key made of gold. He slipped the key in the slot and turned it saying "Home sweet home." He pushed the doors open and pulled the key out. The six men entered the room, and once they entered two slammed the doors shut and locked the doors with several different locks. The room was lavish and large. part of the wall was all glass, a window, giving the room a magnificent view. One of the soldiers looked up at the ceiling and said "Whats that!?" All of the soldiers looked up, the reacted by getting down and all pointed their guns at the ceiling.

The man in Black cloth, Malis, reached the top floor. Instead of opening the door he drew his sword, a katana with a groove down the length of the blade, and jumped up into the air. He slashed part of the ceiling out and entered in the hole he had created. He ran inside the ceiling, knowing where he needed to go. He came to an immediate halt at one point. The ceiling under him made a slight creaking noise from his weight. under it a voice was heard saying "What's That!?"

The man in black clothe, Malis crashed down through the ceiling and landed on the floor in front of the Soldiers, and Biarto. Malis lifted his left arm, his hand encased in a gauntlet with shade tips at the fingertips.He lifted his index finger and pointed it at Biarto uttering the word "Defungo." "Fire!" The lead soldier yelled. The group aimed at Malis and opened fire. Malis jolted to the left, then zig-zaged to the first soldier. He slashed his thought with his blade, then ran to the one closest to him. Malis thrust the blade into this one's stomach, then move the body the shield himself from the bullets. "Loricatus does non subsisto meus vesica." He said, throwing the man off of the blade. He lifted his blade up and brought it down into the skull of another soldier, cutting his helmet in half. Biarto ran to a room and slammed the door shut.

The two remaining Soldiers shot at Malis, who seemed to easily dodge each bullet. Malis slashed at the next Soldiers legs, severing one. He lifted the blade up and brought it down at the soldiers neck while he fell. The last soldier smacked the back of his rifle into Malis's head. He turned his head to The soldier, staring at him whit a slit bloodshot eye, the iris red. Malis smacked the soldier in the side of the head with his right forearm, sending the soldier flying across the room. With his right leg Malis kicked the door of the room Biarto fled in. He stepped into the room, which was small. It ha a bed with a red comforter, and it had it's own bathroom. Malis heard the whimpers of Biarto and said "Ignavus, have nonnullus superbia." He grabbed the bottom of the bed and threw the bed up, and into the wall. "Quam did vos opportunus sub illic?" Malis said, with a creepy smile, showing his fangs. He lifted his sword up, holdign hit under hand to stab Biarto.

Gunshots. The man who was thrown across the room had lived and fired several shots into Malis. He let out a sickening scream and throw three knifes from inside his clothing. Two stabbed into the soldiers eyes, another into his mouth and out the back of his neck. The soldier fell over dead. While Malis was distracted Biarto ran through the door way and back into the main room ,almost tripping over the mutilated bodies of his bodyguards. He ran and bumped into the window wall. He turned aroudn and Malis was standing in front of him, several feet away. "Stay back!" He yelled. Malis walked closer, smiling, his fangs gleaming. "Activate Vampire security defense!" Biarto screamed. Two large lights jutted down from the ceiling on both sides of Biarto and flashed on. The light was so powerful that it blacked all sight from Biarto, but he heard a wheezing screech, then a couch crashed through the winder beside Biarto, which startled his greatly.

The lights shut off, and Malis was gone. Biarto was breathing heavily, and said "I need new pants." He sat on the floor, ignoring the knocking on his door, and a man yelling "Hey are you okay!?"

The next day a news broadcast was sent on each channel saying: Last night Biarto Baron was attacked by a man in black clothing. He is possibly a vampire and carried a sword that Biarto said was able to cut through the strongest of armor. He is offering a reward for this man to be brought in, dead, not alive. Be warned, this man killed five of the most skilled soldiers found in the city.

OOC: You can rp plainly in the city, or do detective work to find Malis.
If everyone in the world were to die except for one man who was reduced to a vegetable state, what would be his fate?

Luna gasped in surprise. After hearing the news about a strange vampire attack, everyone was going around accusing anyone who was lithe, nimble, and carried a sword. Or wore black. So here she was, pressed against a wall being threatened by a knife. She did not wish to be harmed, nor have to attack in self-defense. Craap, she thought,On the day I leave Valentine at home is the day i get murdered by my classmates. Valentine was her triple-barreled gun, named so because of the inscription, V. Valentine on it. Luna always thought that it was awfully ironic. Sure, before moving to this city she HAD killed people, but that was before.
"You!" Daeshel muttered. "You evil, despicable, half-breed bounty hunter. I bet you're harboring the gross bloodsucker. After all, everyone knows you stay up late into the night, talking with some person or another. Everyone can hear you, slut. but you don't have a roommate. Why's that, I wonder. "
His cronies snickered. The silverette looked around in panic. All the students had run, screaming, when Daeshel had pulled out a pistol and a 6-inch long knife. He had shot the one shot into the air and shouted "Run!" to everyone. They had.
Luna spotted her katana hanging in the tree that it had been thrown to. Mentally, she beat herself up about being disarmed so easily. Stupid, she thought,He'll be so disappointed in me.
"Hey, Daeschel, why don't you go kick yourself up your own butt and frick off?" Luna told him warningly.
He laughed. "Oh, yeah? And what if I don't feel like it and instead carve you up?"
Luna gulped. Malis, where are you? she mentally screamed.

(I subsituted some not-so nice language for some nicer.It'll be longer next time. How'd you like it?)

[OOC: Do you mean for Malis and Luna to be friends or something? Cause Malis is...To be frank, an psychopath, he speaks in tongues and believes he is being told to kill different people through vampiric telepathy. Which hes not.]

Malis, after being unable to kill Biarto, Had escaped into a subway system. He was leaning against one of the support beams in the dark tunnels. With every breath he let out a sickening wheeze. Smoke was still being emitted from his skin. A train shot past him, the light ahead of the train startling him. He jumped up and ran down a diffrent tunnel, away from the Train.

It was a nice day, clear skies, and a great feel in the air. Thats what Shade believed at first, before seeing the carnage of last night on the news. It was weird how they actually showed the bodies that were torn apart. He didn't care much for it, though he had been accused of being the murderer once or twice, because of his clothing. He tried showing the people what was wrong with what they were saying, like "If I was the Assassin, why am I out during the day? Wasn't it a vampire who attacked The man?" It didn't matter, they were looking for money and would even turn their own grandmas in for the money.

When the people turned violent Shade dispatched them quickly, knocking most out and breaking one's legs. He had been walking aroudn this city for a bit, it was quite new to him. Shade has always been part of a society of, well, Ninjas. He was raised in the art of Ninjutsu, fought great foes who were expects in the art, and been healed by them as well. It was all he new, and this world, this odd world was completely new to him. He was far away from home, Too far to go back. Even if he did, he'd only be going back to a dead land. All of his old friends had died, or grown too old to be a part of the world. They had left him ,and he decided to leave all that he had known behind.

While he was looking back at his past, he came upon a women being threatened by a man with a knife and a gun. "New world, Same pathetic idiots." He said to himself. He probably wasn't noticed, there was no reason for him to be noticed. Quickly he reached into his cloak and pulled two throwing knives from their sheathes. He pulled them from the coat and threw them. Shade eyes had become a dark blue, and a mist formed aroudn the handle. The knives were being guided by Shade, who was using his ability. The knifes flew through the air and shot toward the forearms of Daeshal. If they met they would stab through his forearms, in between the bones and most likely make him drop the weapons.

(OOC:I don't care about the length of the post, well as long as it's more the a paragraph or two. I haven't truely RPed for a while so I'm not as good as I used to be.)

Luna could feel the man's aura as he came into view. Her eyes widened at the hidden malice. As if in slow motion, she saw the knives fly though the air.

"Stop!" She yelled, reaching her arm out as it crystallized into a silver claw. Her arm knocked away the misty knives and pushed Daeshel into the ground. Luna didn't even notice, instead rounding on the man who had interrupted. "You moron!" she screamed, "What exactly were you trying to do? Kill us both? I had it under control!"

In her temper, she didn't notice her nails forming into sharp talons. The silver quickly spread upward from her gleaming bracelet to her elbow before stopping. Luna continued to gesture with it, screaming at the black-clad man until she noticed his wide-eyed gaze. Her eyes dropped down to her left arm. She screamed.

Suddenly, her katana thudded into the ground next to her. Her eyes flickered upward and she saw a blurry shadow in the cover of the buildings slinking away.

"Untrustworthy client.." She muttered before turning back to the attention at hand. The strange man, trembling Daeshel, and a new thing: the ruining of her manicure.

(Oh, well, thanks for the info. I forgot to look at your characters. But that will help me greatly...and hinder me... Eh, but Luna's description in her bio has nothing to do with this rp. So, if you read it, ignore most. Hmmm...as for her new weapon thingie,Image might help. Only picture it in silver. And, crap, i meant to make this longer. Oh well.)

Shade was startled a bit, not from the girls claws, but from her yelling at him for trying to help. The knifes glided through the air and slowly landed in Shade hand, which he had extended to them. He placed them back into the sheaths with were in his coat. "My apologies, but it looked like you were going to be, how do the say it? Capped? Anyway, Who exactly is this untrustworthy client?" He said, having already noticed a body of liquid, the man in the buildings, slipping away out of his enhanced vision.

Malis jumped across the tracks of the subway, almost getting hit by a train. He climbed up a latter, in a secret passage. Malis lifted himself up into a room with one bed and no lighting. He walked into the room, took off his gauntlets and sword. He sat on the bed in the darkness of the room.

"Capped?" Luna said in disbelief. "I will have you know I am a professional-" She caught herself just in time. "And you can leave M-" she popped her lips, creating a silence in place of the name, "-out of this." She shook her head. "Idiot. You didn't have to save me."

As she ranted, her claw shrunk to reveal her normal hands and became a silver bracelet. She nimbly swung into the tree and grabbed her katana's sheath, still hanging there. Daeshel had by this time snuck away. "If you would've hurt him, you could've gotten arrested. People would accuse you of," she gestured her hand vaguely, "All sorts of crimes. Now if you will excuse me, I must go."

Luna picked up her school bag and walked away, heading to the subway station, and leaving the man behind. As she walked, she thought. The more she thought, the more pissed off she became. She heard footsteps behind her, but when she turned around, no one was there.

(Yeah, I had a bit of a block too.)

"Arrested? You believe me to be stupid enough to get arrested? I've committed many crime in the past, and never Have I been arrested." Shade said, fallowing her. He wanted to know who the man was, and if what he thought was true, he may know the first letter of his name. "So, you're going to have to give my more than the first letter of his name. Unless 'Mah' Is his name." He said, still following her. He hadn't much interest in the girl, but but was slightly interested in this man who she believed would save her.

She scowled. "Maybe you won't be arrested specifically, but you will be blamed. Like that 'Vampire' on T.V. that's supposed to be dangerous. Nobody even knows that he IS a vampire. It's not confirmed yet." She kept on walking, not turning back to face him because she knew she wouldn't see him.

Luna kept on walking until she reached a busy street before rounding on him, spotting him this time. "Why should I tell you my client's name? It's none of your business and besides, I don't even know yours. Why should I trust you with personal info?" She put her hands on her hips and frowned at him, her silver hair gleaming in the sunset as she narrowed her emerald eyes.

(Err... crap. I can't seem to write long posts. Oh well, time for some dialogue,)

"Client? Was that back there some kinda therapy exorcise?" He said, with a smile. "My name is Shade, yes it is an odd name, but it's what make me diffrent." He extended his hand to the women, to shake her hand. "Also I don't watch much T.V. , so what exactly happened with this vampire guy?" He said, watching a yellow car go by.

She didn't take the proffered hand, steadfastly ignoring it. "You ask too many questions, Shade. And you know too little." She began walking again, waving her hand to try to catch a taxi. "Apparently there was a vampire that tried to kill Biarto Baron. He failed, suprisingly, and he is being hunted now. For murder of the bigwig's best guards."

She trailed off, shaking her head. Taxis seemed to ignore the girl, as she gestured frantically. "Idiot." She muttered, obviously not meant for Shade's ears. But not meant for him not to hear, anyway.

Shade didn't take her ignoring his hand to heart, it wasn't the worst greeting he's had, in fact it was better than most. "I ask questions because if I don't, how will I keep up with whats going on in the world?" He said, still walking behind the women. He watched as several cabs drove by, ignoring her. "Hey, I didn't know they allowed blind people to drive now, they have some kind of sonar or something?" He said, jokingly. "So this Biarto Baron, If he some kind of big shot around here?" He asked.

Luna shook her head, discouraged, at the taxis and started walking again, as if this were all routine. She rolled her emerald eyes at the man following her like a little puppy. " For starters, you could obtain a television. Legally. Then you plug it in, sit down, and watch it, listening to the onscreen people like a demented slug and get your precious information." She gestured meaninglessly at the air, needing something to do with her hands.

"Actually, these days, there was just an echolocation set invented for blind people. But of course, you didn't know that, seeing as you have no means of information besides following a girl like me." She snorted, as if it was all immensely hilarious. "And Biarto? You have no idea. He's like, practically the king. he struts around, acting all high and mighty, when his 'people' are stalked and maimed by demons and the like. Heck, he even abandoned his own daughter to the demons when they found and threatened him. I hate him." Glancing back at her follower, she added, "Not as if I've ever met him." Luna said hurriedly.

The tall girl rounded a corner into a dark alleyway, but she kept her light pace and step, as if unafraid.
