018 ~ Something moving in the shadows... [Action/Dictated]

[demontobeloved]

[If anyone is paying attention, Cole is walking about the halls, peering into shadows suspiciously, his journal open.]

Uh, I hate to terrify people, but I'm certain there's something moving in this place.

...Something that isn't usually here, if you get me. Call me paranoid, but I just get this feeling...

And demons don't usually feel uneasy.

[A pause]

And I swear that shadow just moved.

((OOC: Open over the journals or in person!))

[Dictated]

[black_dog_bite]

What kind of something?

[jimfromit]

Are you sure you just haven't been watching too many horror movies lately?

Dictated forever~

[demontobeloved]

Hell if I know. Whatever it was, it's pretty fast...

...And I'm pretty good at spotting things.

[demontobeloved]

I don't watch horror movies. They get too clichéd after a hundred years.

[jimfromit]

Watching horror movies for 100 years...I think I've found my new personal hell.

On the subject of hells do you think the castle is inflicting a new one on us?

[demontobeloved]

I don't know, but I've never felt this uneasy whilst being here.

Re: Dictated forever~

[black_dog_bite]

Where'd you see it?

[demontobeloved]

Scuttling around one of the hallways.

[black_dog_bite]

Want me to come down to the castle and help you check it out?

[demontobeloved]

It's up to you. Not sure if it's dangerous or not...

Don't want to put anyone in danger.

[jimfromit]

Don't do anything silly now.

[He's kind of being sincere...Cole did help him settle in after all.]

[youhavebeenflynned]

What something? [A pause. Could it be...? He sincerely hope not!] It isn't something big... right? [Have a nervous Harry... which is unusual.]

[Dictated -> Action]

[black_dog_bite]

I'll be there in a bit.

[It takes a while considering the distance Jet had moved from the castle, but he manages to make it in a relatively short period of time.]

Is it still around?

[demontobeloved]

I've dealt with worse. Thanks for the concern, though.

Action forever~

[demontobeloved]

I can't see it.

I'm still not feeling right, though. It was fast.

:3

[black_dog_bite]

How big was it?

Dictated

[wizard_redfive]

You too, huh? [If anything could cement Dairine's suspicions, it's this.]

[demontobeloved]

No, it's pretty small, and damn fast.

[demontobeloved]

I'd say cat-sized.

...Why? You know what it is?

[youhavebeenflynned]

[There's an audible sigh of relief from Harry.]

Well it isn't good but at least it isn't what I thought it would be. Could the castle be up to something? Or the First Gens?

[demontobeloved]

Hell if I know, I can't even get a decent look at the bastards.

[youhavebeenflynned]

Fast buggers, ey? I hope someone will kill them all.

[black_dog_bite]

I don't have a clue.

[demontobeloved]

Working on it.

[demontobeloved]

[Something scuttles out the corner of Cole's eye. He whirls around, sparking up an energy ball in his hand, throwing it...

...Nothing, except a scorched patch of wall.]

Damn it!

[black_dog_bite]

[And Jet can't decide which is more remarkable. The fact that he saw the thing scurrying off, or that this guy just shot a ball of energy from his hand. But he couldn't think about that right now.]

That thing moves fast.

[demontobeloved]

You saw it too? I'm not going crazy?

[black_dog_bite]

[Jet stares in the direction that the thing seems to have disappeared to. There was something oddly familiar about it.]

Yeah, I did.

[youhavebeenflynned]

Need any help?

[demontobeloved]

What the hell is it? It's nothing I've ever seen before...

[demontobeloved]

No offense, but I don't want you slowing me down. If it's a problem, I can shimmer out if it gets too hairy.

...Don't want to put someone else in danger. Just keep your eyes peeled and holler over the journal if you need me.

[youhavebeenflynned]

I might not have your fancy demon powers but I can take care of myself. In my line of work you need to be able to get into difficult places and protect yourself from wild animals or mercenaries. If you don't want help then fine.

Sure.

[black_dog_bite]

I'm not sure.
But if it's what I think it is, I've encountered it before.

[Remembering how something had bitten him on the back of the neck and caused him to sink into a coma back home on his ship, he immediately began to wonder if any of his old compadres had come across it.]

I gotta go check on something.

[demontobeloved]

Yeah, but I'm becoming something of a White Knight. Can't stand to see people I like being attacked.

...Which means I'm better off lone wolfing it for the time being. Shimmering takes longer when I have passengers.

[demontobeloved]

Sure. Stay safe, yeah?

And if you need me, holler.

[black_dog_bite]

[Jet looks over his shoulder at Cole and gives a nod.]

The same goes for you.

[youhavebeenflynned]

It's part of being human, champ. Together with all these difficult emotions. [Smirks.]

I don't even know what that is and therefore I'm not sure I want to try it either.

[demontobeloved]

I'll be fine.

[And, with that, he shimmers off.]

[demontobeloved]

It's how I teleport, and it might be a bit nauseating if you've never done it before. Moreso if you're sensitive to evil and demonic powers.

[youhavebeenflynned]

I have never teleported before... in any form. That type of science and/or powers doesn not exist in my world.

I can't say I'm sesetive to demonic powers as I have never encountered a demon before.

[demontobeloved]

Which is why I prefer to go it alone.

[Thank you for proving his point.]

[youhavebeenflynned]

Alright then. Have fun. I'll just stick around and shot anything that moves.
