Earth

Duncan removed his khopesh and put both of his swords back on his back. He stepped away from the human and looked at the one who once again had a gun in his hand. Duncan sighed at the mans persistence and yelled "You know even if you COULD shoot me, it would only hurt. No death can conquer the dead." He looked in the direction the human was looking and saw the girl and the human. Both walking towards the bar. "It appears they are walking towards the bar. Perhaps for a drink?" He thought for a moment and then talked much quieter to the man standing next to him "I would hold your tongue around this woman. She is not as cool tempered as myself and would have likely killed you would you have told that man to kill her. I realize you may not like me. But I suggest you realize your options. I would let you go were you to say no to joining my cause..... She...... I do not think would be so charitable. Consider well mortal."

Jane woke up half under a fallen wall and have not, she gasped for air for a moment as she thought over the strange nightmare she had just had. For a moment Jane layed there..then it came to her, " What the hell?" she said aloud as she crawled her away out from under the wall. Once Jane was out she started to dust herself off, she wore a dark red tanktop,a brown/black leather jacket that was rather thin, a pare of black jeans and a pare of none heeled boots. she had a small cut on her forehead and she could feel the dried blood on the side of her face..but Jane cared little about that as she saw a town in ruins..her town? Call out ofr help..wait no..someone did this..what if they hear you? what if they see you? how about I just go back under the wall? i felt much better under there!! ..no..i should look around..if this kills me i'm gonna be pissed. jane pushed her bangs behind her ear and walked out into the street looking around..there were so many dead people.." H-Hello?!" she called out as loud as she could. not to far away she could see some people but..some of them looked..strange. " Maybe i'm just going crazy.." Jane mumbled under her breathand started to follow the people.((Sorry for the sort post i'm kinda tired..))

Lucrezia could just about make out muffled sounds from what she could hear outside. She could identify the sounds and who they were coming from and gave each a name, stupid, idiot and fool. The fool was the man she'd spoken to not a long time ago, she could tell that he was frustrated at his not knowing everything, she was warned about him by 'the evil one' himself. She put her attention back towards Taylor and said,
"Well, after all that, even I came out with a scratch, which is healed right now, so I'm very surprised you hadn't either." Lucrezia walked over to the couch where Taylor was loaying down, and pass her the drink she had just made.
"Be careful with this, it's not for the weak." She said, smiling. She was kinda avoiding that question until his own minion returned from that now formed trio.

Bradly raised an eyebrow at the demon, as if he was going to shoot at him, is he so stupid not to realise that something tends to break when thrown from the floors high? "I have already realised that, you already won this game fool." He holstered his gun, it would have to be looked at before he'd continue his road. This is obviously not some kids game. And it doesn't look like that fool is going to shiver from a gun being pointed at his head., "Fine, fine. You win good sir, but before we go and talk about my spot in your army, I'd invite you to a drink in the pub? Doing business outside where it is all rotting and burning is so unprofessional." Perhaps this way Bradly could get some more answers about what the hell was going on. And hey, he only offered to 'talk' about joining, he never accepted the offer.

"Thanks," Taylor smiled taking a sip and holding the glass in her hand.
"It isn't that bad," she mumbled before downing the rest of it.
She looked down at her arms and kept looking around for a burn or a freeze, but found nothing. She stood up and fixed her shirt which had ridden up in the back before sitting back down.
"So no idea on who "S" is?" she asked her again.
"Oh and I haven't gotten your name yet," Taylor said putting the now empty glass on the floor next to her foot.

Lucrezia wasn't paying much attention until the number 'S' was mentioned. Her head had snapped up and looked at her.
"I'm sorry but I don't usually give out my name to anyone, so you can call me 'L'" She said and smiled at her, pretending to clink the two glasses, even though there was a large space between them. Lucrezia yawned and looked at her watch before turning to Taylor and saying,
"One Minute." Lucrezia then walked towards the trio and pulled the ear of Duncan, with the act of surprise as an advantage.
"Will you go and talk nicely to the girl you left with me, I'm not too keen on babysitting, and have these humans follow you. I'm going to look through the rubble."
She said, with a fierce and cold tongue.
"Bye." She said, releasing him and walking away from them, towards a small faint cry of a girl, so faint Lucrezia was sure it was only her that could hear it.

When L let them she felt ice start to cover her fingers. Then she saw the guy from before and it covered her whole hand. She looked towards L with longing eyes.
"Wait, L! Don't leave me here with this creep!" she yelled, but it was too late. She sat back down on the couch and folded her arms.
"So do you know who "S" is?" Taylor asked him tossing the folded not at him.
She put her feet on on the couch and hugged them to her chest as she waited for an answer. While she waited she looked around and noticed two other couches with two bodies on them.
"What the hell is that?" she shouted her whole entire left arm covered in ice as she looked at the guy with big eyes.

Duncan waved his wings in a slight bow "As you wish sir." He was then about to walk into the bar when the girl walked out and grabbed his ear. He felt the pain that a normal human would feel but it didn't affect him the same way. She talked to him as if she was his boss and then stalked off. He looked at her with so much distaste he almost acted on it. However just before he did the normal self pity came back and smothered the hate. "Fine. But my dear I would be careful with what you say to me. Eventually I may get mad enough to actually hurt you." He then walked into the bar. When the human girl called him a creep he smiled "Please do not insult me. Satin wouldn't like it if I killed his experiment." He looked at the obviously dead bodies "I would think they are dead humans. Why do humans find the need to ask questions they already know the answer to?"

Jane stumbled around only then noticeing that she had lost track of the three guys she had just seen. Jane sighed and gave up sitting down under one of the walls that had fallen over half way but was stopped by part of another fallen wall. Jane sat under the wall her hands over her his try to understand what's going on. Everything is gone..only a few buildings still stood. what had happend? a war maybe? how had she got here? and what the hell is going on? Jane sighed and closed her eyes leaning back on the wall before reaaching up and wipe some of the bool that had dripped down the side of her face. Jane stared down at her hand and at the blood with a kind of sad look on her face. through she had just woke up she already felt tired. and well confused. " I wonder if there are others?" she said aloud looking around.

((Sorry for the shortness))

All ice left her arm as the other engulfed in flames when he talked down to her. She stood up and clenched her fists.
"Don't talk down to me creep," she said flames were falling off her arms as new ones took their spot. The ground under her right hand started to turn black. Then the name "Satin" clicked in her head. She smiled and continued.
"And if Satin did make me and you killed me, what would happen to you? After all I am his "baby"," she smirked as she sat down on the couch again and laid her feet across it waiting for an answer from him.

He gave her his best smile and then walked until he was an arm length away from her. "What would happen to me? Well lets see.... I'm already damned for all eternity. I already feel the total overcoming hate of a thousand souls. I already have suffered the loss of a thousand loved ones.... What would happen to me *he took three more steps until his face was right next to hers* would be nothing compared to what I will do to you if you EVER call me a creep again." He then gathered the fire off her arm and turned it into a small ball of pure fire. He then threw that into the air and scooped some shadows off the ground. He combined these two and created some dark fire which he spread through the room. It did not burn or shed light but rather sucked the light in. Quickly there was no light what so ever in the room. He then gathered all the shadows around him to create an aura of pure shadow and released a chill throughout. All this happened in a second and to any other demon might appear impressive.

When he got in her face she pushed him away.
"Fine. just don't came near me or talk to me, Kurīpu," she said in Japanese seeing if was as all powerful as he said he was.
When the black fire came around the fire on her own arm turned black as she looked at it. With her left hand she felt her arm and then cupped a bit with her hand. She formed it into a ball with both hands and studied it some more. She then opened her palm and blow into the direction the guy. It hit him in the face as she grinned.
"Where did L go, strisciare?" she asked him in Italian.
Taylor didn't even know she could speak these languages.
"Must be another gift I got from 'Daddy'," she thought to herself.

Lucrezia took note of what Duncan had said to her, and merely laughed because she knew, once he found out, that she would be able to talk to him anyway she liked and he would not be able to do a thing towards. With this still playing in her mind she continued on her quest to find the source of the sound that was being made.
The sound was soon becoming faint for Lucrezia to hear, but she assumed that was because she was getting closer to the source. She looked sde to side and expected to see someone but hadn't so she decided not to bother anymore and decided to look for more people instead. She looked to her right and saw a body hugging itself like they're the only one in the world.
"Don't worry there's more of you." Lucrezia said to what seemed to be a girl.
"So just come along with me, and I'll take you to the gathering." She continued, giving the girl her hand.

Bradly just let out a sigh, rolling his eyes as he did so. Someone has a slight problem managing his anger... While everyone was enjoying their little talk, Bradly took his time examining his weapon, the damage wasn't all that great. A few scratches maybe, but then there was the broken trigger. Somehow it couldn't be pulled, no movement whatsoever. "Don't tell me I have to take this damned thing apart..." Bradly dropped himself on one of the many chairs, examining each and everyone that was supposedly in the bar. Frowning at the demon who seemed to want complete control over everyone and everything. "Y'know, I thought we would be discussing that demon army thing of yours?"

Jane looked up confused for a moment before standing up and following the lady. " Who are you?....what happend here?...where are we going?" she asked as they walked to the bar (I think?) Jane followed Lucrezia not even putting in the fact that she might be the bad guy or something. to be honest that never even corssed her mind she was just happy to have found out there were others. Soon they were in front of a bar which by fact was one of the few buildings still standing. Jane could see four other people inside,three men and one other last. in a way it was strange that they would all gather in a bar and that they all seemed so..well relaxed.

((again sorry for the shortness )

Lucrezia looked at the and smiled. "It's always the same old questions. How about inventing your own way of saying them." She said, shaking her head.
"The name's 'L' and people died, obviously, and we are walking into a pub, one of two only 'surviving' buildings. Questions answered?" She replied and walked in to see the 4 people she saw before.
"Who missed me?" Lucrezia asked, obviously in a sarcastic tone.
"And who wants me to leave?" She said in a threatening manner, assuring that no one would reply to that. It was an obvious rhetorical question.
She walked to the bar and poured herself another drink, she loved being a fallen angel, she could have as many as these drinks as possible and not feel the least bit tipsy.

Gian was scanning the town below him, as his wings were by his side, spread far apart and allowing him to glide the air with hardly any resistance. He would be able to dodge an obstacle as quickly and smoothly as a frog would capture it's prey with its toungue. As he scanned the town he was able to catch sight of the two figures, presumably female, which were walking towards a surprsingly upright building. He raised an eyebrow as he could smell the scent of the human yet the other figure was undetectable for his nose.
Gian shurgged it off as a consequence of the distance between them. He slowly decreased his height level in the air before his feet making contact with the rough ground. His wings contracted back into a neat curve on his back, and he covered it and his bare torso with a white shirt but kept most of the buttons undone. He had white trousers on as well but his feet were also bare, so walking on the stones seem to be rather uncomfortable, but not painful.
Gian walked into the pub and said to those around him,
"So, is the whole gang here yet?" He looked around and interupted the silence once again by saying,
"Nope, the bloodsuckers aren't present."

Lucrezia looked over at Gian with disgust and rolled her eyes. She sat over on an empty couch and began relaxing by putting her feet up on the table. She decided to say nothing as she knew Duncan would do plenty of talking and maybe fighting for her.

First the human threw dark fire in his face. That didn't hurt at all. However it did leave a bothersome tinge to his aura. He would appear slightly out of focus for some time. That was the least of his problems however. The human's weapon seemed to be damaged, and Duncan didn't like to be in debt to someone, so he materialized a gun in the exact same make and model and place it on the table in front of him. "What is there to talk about mortal? You know what a demon is, warriors to Satin. Do you want to join us and be gifted great power?" He then turned to the girl when she mentioned "L" "Who is L? Would that be the woman that left?" He asked with mild interest. There had been rumors going around of a fallen angel, which hadn't been seen for millennia at least, named Lucrezia. That would explain the angel aura he had sensed. He kept this stored for later use. Right now he had bigger problems. When the girl he now knew as Lucrezia came back she was accompanied by ANOTHER human. Duncan was having terrible luck. "I would love for you to leave, traitorous scum." he said flatly. Most demons revered fallen angels as super humans. This was because they held the power of a angel with rules of a demon. However Duncan viewed them as rats. They went and took the glory of Heaven and acceptance and friendliness, and decided they were going to come down to Hell. To Duncan this was the greatest insult one could give. He had been working his entire life to change sides. However his bonds to Satin were better then most because it had been Satin's sin that had made him. The next thing that came in was a sight for sore eyes. Gian was the first person he had seen that he liked in.... oh about a decade. Duncan walked up to him and thrust his hand out. "How are ya'? Ya old Gracer you!"

A surprised look fell down on his face as Bradly watched the gun 'magically' repair itself in the demon's hands, immediately reaching for it as the gun got dropped on his table. "Now that's what I call handy work. I could say I'm in your debt but... I'm not." Little did the demon answer his question, all it said was mortal, demon, warrior of Satan, join, great powers. Okay maybe that was enough information to work with after all. But, before he could respond to its question, the demon turned his attention to one of the girls in the bar, and Bradly could only sigh. Well, at least my weapon is repaired. Looks like a demon is useful for something after all...

Once more Bradly had a surprised look painted on his face as the woman he had seen earlier entered the pub, and he shouted a little to loud. "I knew I wasn't hallucinating!" Surely people would frown at that remark, but whatever, it wasn't like Bradly would care what others thought of him and his actions. After the long silence another figure stepped in the pub, obviously not someone that would fit into the category of demon. But human wasn't what Bradly was looking for either, he would probably learn soon enough, or not. If nothing was going to be discussed or talked about, there was always leaving of course. The only reason Bradly decided to join in the mass was to learn something about well, what looked like the 'supernatural'.

(OOC: You know Gian's an angel right? Because I myself is very confused :S)

Gian looked at Duncan with an estranged look. It took him a look time to register what had just been said and who it had been said by.
"I can tell you're a demon but I am completely baffled as to why you would address me in such a manner as if we are best buds. But I will just join along. I'm very good, how about you? You old demon you." After saying this he was looking around at the rounded up humans.
"Oh, how rude of me. I have not even introduced myself. The name is Gian and I am one of the good one's little helpers. You can join me in our quest to rid of all evil in this world. You will be given great powers. So you can choose the good or the evil or, although I am highly reluctant, you can even join the vampyres. So make your decision quickly so we can begin training." He finished and took a seat, waiting for discussion and questions to begin.

Lucrezia was very surprised and what Duncan had called her, she even turned to look around and thought that it was said towards someone else, but she finally came to the conclusion that she was the supposed 'traitorous scum'.
"You want to repeat yourself minion? Actually, don't. I don't want to give you the satisfaction of whatever you're hoping to get from me leaving. Just get used to me, because I am afraid to annpunce that I'm your second-in-command and wish to be treated like one. And don't ever think you know my life from mere rumours." She said, not at all pleased.
Lucrezia gulped the remaining of her drink and completely ignored what Gian had said, she just wanted to die already, but she knew that would never happen.

(OCC: Its good to be back!)
Duncan looked at Gian and smiled "Yes I guess you wouldn't like a demon would you? Well I guess the feeling doesn't have to be mutual!" He then turned to the humans, he had decided to completely ignore Lucrezia for as long as possible, and said "You all may make your own decision. However I warn you. My path leads to power and victory. His path leads to rules, and a little power thrown in for fun." He then turned back to Gian and stepped closer so he could whisper in his ear "Can you look at the one on the couch? I don't know why but it seems like the big S has touched her. If you would like you can....... take her off my hands."

Taylor saw L and smiled. She stood up and walked over to her.
"Hey, L. Who is he?" she asked pointing over to Duncan, "Cause I don't like him to much. And what is this about about armies? Whats going on here. L?"
Taylor heard Duncan talking about her to someone. She cocked her head a little to the right and listened.
"Can you look at the one on the couch? I don't know why but it seems like the big S has touched her. If you would like you can....... take her off my hands."
She waited for the man to answer him. He looked like a nice guy. Cute too. Then she saw his wings. She awed at them until she knew if he looked he would think she was weird. She wanted to walk over to him and just feel his wings, but she still wanted to heard L's answers to her questions.
