For the Fun of It

[ryuuza]

Yijiru grinned like a child. Here was the great Tamasha village he had heard so much about. He walked through the streets excitingly. The whole place could have been one big candy shop with all sorts of delicious treats for him. Yijiru was the only piece who didn't look like he belonged there. It wasn't because of his ears or tail. It was because over his clothes and head he wore a long black cloak to conceal those features. It wasn't that he was afraid of standing out in the crowd, it was just that he had visited enough places where people pointed and kids ran up to give his tail a good tug, just to make sure it wasn't fake.

Yijiru strolled and strolled, smiling the whole way mischievously. He turned his head to the west, noticing the sun was setting and he had yet to rent a room for the night. He turned down another street that had a sign indicating a building, most likely for a hotel or something. Yijiru found the inn alright, but his eyes grew wide when he spotted something fun and worth his time.

Yijiru walked towards the lively area that wasn't too far from the inn. He chuckled slightly with hope for a good, fun time. What he had come upon was a large area of people dancing to the sounds the musicians were creating. Before he came too close, he frowned. Firstly, his ears were sensitive to the sound and getting closer would be a bit loud. Oh well. He could deal with that without a problem. The next issue would be a bit more difficult. Whoever was throwing the party seemed to have payed good money for decent security guards. Though the party was out in the open, a fence surrounded the area and the only way in would be through the two guards. They don't seem to notice me yet....Hmmm....What can I do?....Ah....

Yijiru smirked and walked closer to them. They both looked up instantly from their old card. They didn't bother smiling at him. The dark haired one raised an eyebrow.

"Well. Waddaya want? Do ya got a pass or not? Don't waste our time, kid." said the brown haired one who had a bit of weight on him.

"Oh no. I'm not here for the party, and I'd never try to bother such-"

"Well stop smilin' so bright kid. It's creepin us out. It's like yer up to some funny bis-ness or sumthin'." said the other one with the strange of talking.

"Oh sorry. Mother always say be as kind as you can be to others, so I smile. See? Anyways, I'm not here to talk about that. I just thought you might like to know there's some creature that is approaching. I don't know if it came from the forest, but I figure it smells the food or the people."

"How did ya know we got food? Well kid. Run along. We'll take care of it if the beast comes to us. We ain't nobody." The fat one made a shooing motion. Yijiru frowned when he was called a beast. Yijiru turned and left back from where he came.

First, he went to the hotel and reserved a room for himself. Yijiru asked for a map of the village and he studied it carefully. He left with his room key and found an opposite road that led to the party. Looking around, there seemed to be nobody in this dark alleyway. Yijiru grinned and transformed. He had to be careful that only the guards noticed.

In his white tiger form, Yijiru approached the guards again. He was still a distance away, but the guards would notice him if they looked up. Yijiru growled deeply and challengingly. They jumped and looked up. No one else was close enough to hear the growl over the music. Yijiru made a motion towards the guards. Surprisingly, or not, instead of taking out their swords, the men screamed and ran the opposite direction. Yijiru did not give chase and transformed back. Yijiru howled with laughter at these humans' stupidity. He casually walked into the party and looked for some girls open for flirting. He walked around letting the beat of the music run smooth through his body. He was now confident nothing stood in his way to have a good time.

[samonuske]

Samonuske, who had gotten lost within the city, yet again, had been wandering around the outside of the village, he had chosen to leave his skeletons on the outside of the city, so he didn't have to worry about hiding them, but he still wanted to get out of the city before he died of old age, 'I'd be here forever,' he thought to himself at the thought of dying of old age. Looking to his right, he saw an area that seemed to be rather 'lively', but they he saw something odd, a young person in a dark cloak, the cloak slightly resembled the one he was wearing, but without the gloves and shoes. Closing his eyes, he searched the air around the man for necrotic energy, finding none he merely deemed it as a coincidence. He watched as the man walked away, and then a large animal appeared, 'impossible, that can't be..' he thought to himself as the men ran away, one of which ran in his direction, grabbing the human's collar, he spun a dagger into his heart, ending his life on the spot.

Pulling out a worm of Kyuss, he put it onto the dead man's head, allowing it to burrow in and turn him into a zombie, Samonuske had the crown in the pouch on his hip, and that was good enough to control the worms, with a single thought, he told the worm to take the body to the skeletons after it had finished transforming it into a zombie. Before the man had fully entered the building, Samonuske asked a question.

"Magic, or ability?"

His voice was calm, not rude, just neutral.

[laraine]

(May I Join?)

Raine walked through the streets of the town, hood covering her hair and face from view. She walked the streets carefully, looking for any dangers that loomed.

Then she heard screams, one of which seemed to be cut short.

"What the.." She ran towards the sounds.

I hope its not them....

Once she reached the area, she saw a area where a party it seemed was happening.

Did I imagine it?

She watched the dancing of several people.

"I wish I could have fun like that..." realizing she spoke out loud she turned from the dancers.

"Idiot...You can never have fun.." She started to walk away when someone knocked into her. She fell to her knees, looking up at the person with her purple eyes and flowing pink hair.

"Oh, sorry.."

[ryuuza]

((Sure. =) Thanks for joining guys! Sorry it took me a few days. Thanksgiving is big with my family. ^^" Plus I had some homework....))
Yijiru laughed happily, unaware of anything back happening around him. He almost felt free to throw off his cloak. He talked to several groups, full of fun and flirt. He turned when something caught his eye. He stopped talking and noticed a young woman by the entrance. She seemed cute in his eyes and maybe even a bit lost.

"Guess it's up to me to help her." He shrugged, feeling the need to do some heroic act. He walked over to her, winding through person after person and weaving through the large crowd. Before he could get to her, someone bumped her and she lost balance. Yijiru pushed his way through the rest of the crowd.

"Hey Buddy! Maybe you should watch where your fat butt takes ya!" He yelled to the guy who bumped her. Yijiru pushed the guy out of his way as well. The man seemed annoyed, but obviously knew he shouldn't mess with Yijiru. The two glared until the man walked away. Yijiru kneeled on his knee and reached out a hand.

"Looks like people don't know a princess when they see one." Yijiru winked. He briefly glanced around. Wait a minute....Wouldn't at least one of the guards send more security over here? Somethings a bit fishy. Yijiru grabbed for the girl's hand.

"I'm Yijiru, but by the way, you wouldn't have happened to see any guards around did you?" Yijiru asked her, hoping for a clue about what was going on. Yijiru sniffed the air with his sharp nose. It smelled of blood and a bit of death. Yijiru's nose slightly wrinkled at the smell he picked up. What in the world is hiding out there? Yijiru stared passed the girl as he easily lifted her back to her feet. He glanced around, trying to get more of a sense of what happened. Thieves? Was his first guess.

[laraine]

Raine blinked as a strange looking man helped her to her feet. He seemed worried about something and kept looking around. She snapped from her trance and pulled her hand slowly away from his.

"My name is Raine, and no I haven't seen any guards around." She was confused at first why he would ask such a thing, then suddenly it dawned on her.

Oh I see...

"You came in here uninvited, right?" She couldn't help but slightly smile at this.

"Don't worry I don't belong here either. I just came here because I heard some screams. But I must have imagined it." She put the hood over her bright pink hair and purple eyes.

"I'm sorry if I interrupted anything." she added. "And thank you again for helping me..Yijiru." She smiled under her hood and turned back to the outside. What he couldn't see was the blush across her face from what he called her.

Princess huh? No one has called me that for a long time...its hard to forget such memories after all..

[ryuuza]

Yijiru chuckled and put his finger to his lips as if he cared about getting caught.

"Well, what's a guy to do?" He answered. Yijiru walked forward and looked around. "Hmm hmmm.....screams, huh?" Yijiru tilted his head to one side. Carefully trying not to pull his hood off by accident, he scratched his ear.

He followed her outside, keeping his senses strong for anymore strange clues. The smell seemed to get a little stronger. Yijiru frowned. I doubt that's part of the decoration. He looked back to the girl with a bit of concern.

"You know....It's unlikely a girl like yourself is safe walking alone here, especially at this time of night." He said, hinting that he wasn't going to leave until she reached her destination or if she could prove she was stronger and not as fragile as she seemed. "Plus, you owe me your name." Yijiru teased, his smile returning. His body felt more tense by the minute, almost aching to get more action in.

[samonuske]

Samonuske, noticing his presence rather unnoticed, walked up, behind the young man, showing his rather 'chivalrous' side, he had to keep himself from laughing at the thought, 'such interesting developments,' he thought to himself.

"I saw what you did, no human could perform such a feat." he spoke in a rather calm, but curious tone, he had pulled back his hood, revealing his dark hair, and his crystal blue eyes, his eyes never actually fell on the young man, but instead to the street in front of him.

"And don't worry, no guards, or criminals will appear, albeit you little 'playing', should I call it, didn't help that fact." he said, thinking about the young guard, who should be with the rest by now, he knew the approximate time for change, and it had passed.

[ryuuza]

"Ahhh?" Yijiru turned around. Yijiru laughed carelessly. "Is that so? If you wanted to talk to me, you didn't have to come up with such a story." Yijiru was already having fun, but wondered about this new guy who approached him. Yijiru studied him and raised his eyebrows. The smell! The smell of blood and slightly of death was now at the strongest point it could get. Yijiru covered his nose and backed up a bit.

"Darn these sensitive senses.....Geh. I have no idea what you are talking about." Yijiru replied to the strange person's last phrase. "Would you care to explain your interest in us anyway?" Yijiru referred to the girl already as an ally or part of his team.

Yijiru pulled his hood even further forward and held it there. He couldn't reveal himself just yet, not in front of someone he was trying to impress. He stared Samonuske in the eye, trying to figure the guy out. Yijiru couldn't come to a single conclusion. This guy was mysterious all over.

[laraine]

Raine jumped a little at the new member and stood behind Yijiru as they talked. Her hand rested on the wand on her belt, this move covered by her cloak that encircled her. She also kept her eyes and hair from view.

Neither of them look like someone hired by my family...still.. I can't be careless....Can I trust them? Or will they kill me on the spot like my family would....

Then it happened. Raine gasped slightly as she saw someone new appear through the darkened alleys. A young man with pink hair and red eyes. His hair was long and tied behind him. Raine bit her lip harshly.

This isnt good....if he sees me...I'm done for...

Raine made a break to escape, instantly the demon turned its head towards her and smirked.

"Found you." He hissed and slid in front of Raine, blocking off her escape.

"You filthy half breed!" His sword cut through her cloak, sending it flying into the sky.

Before the two others stood a girl with similar pink hair and deep purple eyes.

She wore black pants shirt and a belt which held a crystal wand.

[ryuuza]

"You filthy half breed!" Yijiru suddenly heard someone exclaim. He jumped and turned 180.

"What in the world...?" He frowned at the circumstance before him. "Ughhhh....I sure hope they aren't too powerful." He had been so careful so far in order to look good. Of course he'd defend her, but he'd be forced into his tiger form again if he had to face what he thought he might face. He looked back to the strange man behind him.

"This your doing? Man! You know how to kill fun! Geez all so I'd admit it?" Yijiru complained, rudely pointing back at him. He ran up to where the girl was now. He threw off the cloak that restricted his movements and frowned as his ears, tail, and face marks were clearly visible, even in the night. He took the spear-like weapon off his back and prepared his stance for a fight.

"Really? Picking on a beautiful girl like herself? What did she do to you? Or you just jealous that at least she can wear pink hair AND make it look good?" Yijiru smirked. Yijiru looked to Raine. "I'm on your side." He gave her the thumbs up.

[samonuske]

Samonuske, stepping towards the man wielding the sword, brought his necrotic energy to his finger tips, raising his right hand, it glowed an unearthly green.

"Well, I was merely going to ask what that ability was, but now it seems as if that will have to wait." He said, looking at the young man whom he had seen transform.

His gaze shifted to the warrior with pink hair, a slight chuckle passed across his lips, 'so funny,' he tried to keep himself from laughing, on the outside he retained his calm expression.

"It is rather dishonorable to attack women." he spoke with a calm and neutral tone, before reaching his hand out and saying.

"Necrosis."

A green wave swiftly flew from the palm of his hand towards the attacker, it was a basic necrotic magic, it decayed whatever it touched to bone. He then turned his head to look at the young man.

"I trust you'll defend her, if you would be so kind, let me have a little fun."

He said, a smile passed across his face as he turned to face the pink haired man.

[laraine]

The man somehow managed to dodge the blast and growled at the two defenders.

"You idiots! Do you even not realize what you protect? This is none of your affair!"

"Stop it Uncle Richard!" Raine yelled. She glared at him harshly.

"This girl is something that should have never existed! A half witch half demon! Her powers alone can level forests!"


"I said shut up!"A red aura surrounded Raine.

"She has a price on her head. Wanted dead. Now stand aside or face the wrath of the Risk demon tribe! She is not worth protecting.."

Raine clenched her fists, hiding her face.

[ryuuza]

"Calm, we got this." Yijiru put his hand on Raine's shoulder.

"Well that makes it all the more exciting. Mind you....Just cuz you've got the power to level a forest doesn't mean that you are going to. She doesn't strike me as that type." Yijiru commented. "Haha, you can have your fun, but I need mine too." He threw back at Samonuske. Yijiru's tail bounced slightly left to right, moving with the excitement he felt.

"Ha!" Yijiru bulleted towards 'Uncle Richard.' He slashed his spear several times. He's fast... Yijiru jumped back trying to study his opponent more. He focused his senses into his eyes, making things seem a bit slower for him and able to make more precise attacks. Yijiru charged again and slashed about, with what would seem wild, yet trained attacks. Finally he manage to leave a gash in the guys left arm. Yijiru jumped back, assuming Samonuske desired a turn.

Yijiru looked back towards the party. The music was too loud for people to notice the circumstance. They'd have to notice with their eyes, if they were going to. It's pretty late....I sure hope they're going to party on for a while longer....for their own safety... Yijiru looked at his opponent, scratching his head. He debated whether or not transforming would be a good idea.

[samonuske]

Samonuske, watching the man's movements, felt a little surprised but he decided that at least he wasn't on the receiving end, so he wouldn't worry about it. Looking at the pink haired man, he felt annoyed at his comment about the girl.

"Just because one has power, does not mean that they have the will to use it in such ways." he spoke in a calm tone, he wasn't defending the girl, but things like that had been said of him, and it was an insult that annoyed him greatly.

When the man finished his assault, Samonuske grinned before stepping forward.

"We should end this, now."

His voice was cold as he spoke those words, as he raised his hands, an unholy energy seemed to surround him, a darkness, an evil.

"All things fall to death."

He launched himself towards the human, once he was around three to four feet away, he unleashed his spell, creating a green wave around him, its affects were devastating, the man's body would begin to corrode. The spell he had used was a close range decay ability, it took a lot of his strength to use, but it was fatal to all living creatures.

[Nadja_Jadoo]

Silently Nadja sat watching them the whole time from her perch a top of one of the buildings. All three had grabbed her attention from the start. They didn't fit into this place. Course neither did she. But no one would have noticed that unless she felt the need for them too. However the trio she was watching seemed not to hold back that they were different. Honorable. Yet stupid at the same time.

They might as well have put targets on their foreheads.

But honestly even up to this point their actions had been comical. It was almost hard to hold back her chuckles of amusement now. 'Oh this is more entertaining then that silly back at that pub.' Course going there wasn't really needed at the moment. She had vanished from the place leaving the warrior to fend for himself.

But hey it wasn't her battle to begin with. He was the first to spill blood to begin with. Shaking her head softly Nadja brushed back her hair from her eyes. That was neither here nor there anymore. It was what was going on below her that was entertaining.

Canting her head to the side Nadja watched with sparkling eyes. 'Of course all this was caused by a girl.' she calmly thought to herself as she watched everything unfold before her. Taking in all three. The boy with his interesting cat like features. The pretty girl and her wand along with her pathetic excuses of an Uncle. Then there was the blue eyed man. He was trouble. But that wasn't her problem. But his use of welding spells was interesting.

Nadja had kept her mouth shut and her presence unknown till she heard the blue eyed mans words. "All things fall to death." Up till that point she had been a good girl. But something in the way he said those words couldn't help but to bring a hardy laughter past her lips.

With Nadja's presents now exposed there was no need to stay hidden above their heads. Slowly Nadja pushed herself down to the ground landing softly behind the trio. Violet silk wrapped around her body billowing out all around her feet. Nadja looked almost angelical in her perfect form. All expect for the thick gloves that carefully covered her hands.

"Why is it that women seemed to always be at the heart of drama?" Nadja's words purred past her lips in an unnatural way. Clearly she wasn't human. "And men and their obsessive need to show they are the strongest? I shall never understand the workings of you people." she smirked softly as she pressed the wrinkles out of the silk softly before continuing on.

"The girl has the power to defend herself. She simply lacks the confidence." Raising a brow her eyes slowly moved onto the girl. Nadja didn't even have to taste the woman's aura to see that. Kicking her hip out to the side Nadja placed one hand on it while the other moved fluidly outward as a welcoming gesture.

"If the girl can take down a forest...then I believe she should be able to stop her own Uncle. Not to mention it will open her eyes to the fact that she is not helpless."
