[url=http://i.imgur.com/N4ZQLWh.jpg]She[/url] stood standing watching the little place swarming with the cancerous beings that were chasers. Behind her, a [url=http://arania.kamiki.net/Gift%20art%20and%20Commissions/Nhyra%20anjusheet.png]shadowy monster[/url] stood on all fours behind her, breathing hard and she tapped her hand on her thigh [color=9e0039]"I could just...blow it up, I mean that would be easier right? No? Dont talk much do you?[/color]" she looked back at the monster, which simply bowed and laid down, completely showing that the women had dominance over the beast. [color=9e0039]"Fucking useless sometimes..."[/color] squatting, her eyes watched the chasers headquarters thinking of some fun idea of how to destroy the place in an entertaining way.

[color=silver]"Well now. Aren't you interesting."[/color]

The voice came from the girl's side, having not been there the moment before. Its tone withheld no emotion, and yet, revealed the entire spectrum of component thinking. Had the girl turned to the side, she would have seen a [url=http://i.imgur.com/4JUmR2s.jpg]very peculiar figure[/url] standing next to her. He wore a dark outfit with white hair crowning his head. But that wasn't what striked his appearance to be odd. 

The man turned to the girl to reveal a mask that covered his face. Two eyes that reflected the color of the Crimson Sky gazed back into the girl, the sclera a gray coloration. The man tilted his head once, as if studying the girl before seeing right through her. If he was fazed at all by the massive shadow beast that stood on guard for the woman's protection, he did not show it.

[color=silver]"You are Ikkime Oi, yes? I want to tell you that your presence here is....interesting."[/color]

She looked to the side, looking the man up and down [color=9e0039]"I don't know who you're talking about, Ikkime is my first name but my last name changed....a long long time ago, so if you don't mind telling me how you know my real name, I wont kill you, or this building, with you in it"[/color] calmly said, she looked back at the chaser headquarters, ready if the man decided to pick a fight.

[color=silver]"I know who you are because you are you,"[/color] the man answered calmly.[color=silver]"As for the building, its interests do not interest me. You, however, are an interesting example. A living study."[/color]

The masked man moved closer now, his concealed visage mere inches away from Ikkime's. An impossible case for an impossible scenario. The mysterious figure waited for a response of answer of some kind.

The shadow beast behind them now, stood up and it howled, suddenly, ten or more of them began rising from the shadows, still looking at the headquarters, she laughed [color=9e0039]"Start making sense, or those things wont be so nice as Im being."[/color]

Once more, the man was unaffected by the summoned creature, who had now multiplied to many more spawn. The masked man spared a single glance at them before turning to Ikkime.

[color=silver]"It would seem we are at an impasse. Your stubbornness never changes, even as a refuge. You shouldn't be here Ikkime Oi. And yet, here you are. I can see it even now. You will attempt to kill me, only to realize the futility in your actions. In doing so, you have only gauged my interest more so for you. However..."[/color]

The man's eyes gleamed for a fraction of a mere moment.

[color=silver]"I can see clearly your connection to the existence calling herself Lucille Ferris."[/color]

At the mention of her spouse Ikkime stopped smiling and thinking of destroying the headquarters. Standing, her body seemed to be outlined with a purplish black, her eyes seemingly getting darker [color=9e0039]"You, who do you think you are, to utter that persons name?"[/color] she stepped forward and moved closer to his face, looking into his eyes.

The beast all howled and moved towards her and the man [color=9e0039]"If I break that mask of yours, who am I going to find behind it?"[/color] 

[color=silver]"I am nothing. Yet, I am everything. And anything."[/color]

The man once more stared at the woman with unreadable intent. With one swift motion, he walked forward, passing right through Ikkime as well as any attacks her hounds wanted to throw at him. He stood at the edge of the roof now, staring at the sky, before turning back to the woman.

[color=silver]"Though I suppose it would make it more convenient for you to call me by a title. Very well then. You may address me as...the Jester of the Court."[/color]

Moving or rather...gliding across the floor of the roof, she moved past her beasts and towards him [color=9e0039]"I know what I choose to believe is what is dearest to me, I know what there are dimensions, I know that someone has to be responsible for all of them, when you say you're everything, are you to say that you are that person? A god? and if that's the case why are you here right now, and why am i not to suppose to be here?"[/color]

[color=silver]"Those questions mean nothing to me,"[/color] the Jester said dismissively. [color=silver]"But your existence is a unique one. I am here because I will it to be. You are here because you are lost, separated from Lucille Ferris. Well....would you like to see her again?"[/color]

She snapped and more of the beast started to appear, this time, more then thirty appeared on this roof and the a dozen or so on the other, she looked back at them and then to the man [color=9e0039]"Do I want to see my love? After this long, my I ask why you appeared now?"[/color] she turned and stood in the middle of her beast putting one about the size of a house, while the others relatively were around the size of a pickup truck.

[color=9e0039]"Do what I brought you here for"[/color] the biggest beast bowed again, before howling and running of the other side of the building, the one facing the headquarters, the sixty or so beasts, also jumped off and into the air, forming a darkness that no one inside the headquarters would be able to see in the pure of night. Ikkime waved her hand and turned, as an enormous dark dome formed over the building the headquarters was in and the surrounding buildings. This amplified the monsters power now barreling in a wave of shadows towards the shop. Anyone within the dome would have a hard time seeing without a source of light and even then it would only allow them to only so far in the dark.

[color=silver]"You're very persistent in your methods,"[/color] the Jester observed. [color=silver]"But all the same, your situation is a unique case. Why would Ikkime Oi willingly kill Chasers, the very people you once worked for and considered family. But above all else..."[/color]

The Jester was gone from sight, now appearing beside Ikkime once more. While the chaos flamed all around them, he stood still as always. His red eyes gleamed in the night's darkness. The wheels of fate were turning ever more.

[color=silver]"Isn't it interesting that there are now two of you, Ikkime Oi?"[/color]

[color=9e0039]"Because I am not Ikkime Oi, have no been a long time..."[/color] hearing him talk about the other one, the one that she use to be like, she turned again and started walking towards the dome to watch inside [color=9e0039]"If you know that, then you know my answer to that, Jester..."[/color] she looked back [color=9e0039]"You wont stop me will you? If not, then why are you here."[/color] Turning she saw that he was gone and she nodded [color=9e0039]"Interesting indeed..."[/color]

[center][h1][b][u][color=a187be]Ikkime Oi[/color][color=bc8dbf] & [/color][color=f6989d]Eleanor O'Brien[/color][/u][/b][/h1][/center]

Ikkime was in the back with Eleanor, and Eos, making tea and cutting rapidly and skillfully slices of things and making platters for the now quickly apparent people in the headquarters. Eleanor sat on the counter top and whistled, skinning fruits and looking at Ikkime and Eos in silence, Ikkime used her power and purple aura tails appeared, helping her work with the food and carry them [color=a187be]"Alrighty Eos! Ill be out there, you gonna stay with me of or her?"[/color] she looked back at Eleanor who was still peeling fruits.

[color=f6989d]"Ill come and help serve, Ill be back E-Sama"[/color] she jumped off and walked after the purple tails holding trays of tea and treats varying with what she had. Upon entering the room, she saw everyone for the most part was talking, Eleanor went over to the window and looked outside at the darkness of the outside [color=f6989d]"It's...so dark sis....yeah it is weir-"[/color]

[color=a187be]"Hoi Eleanor, help me please!, hiya, Im Ikkime Oi, one of the resident senior chasers, did I hear SSS rank mission being wanted?"[/color] she looked at some of the people who had begun forming plans [color=a187be]"Well we have a couple senior chasers on deck so, if you want it, ask one of them, including me and my sister"[/color] she nodded off to Eleanor who held her hands behind her back and bowed slightly. She started to hand off tea, till her ears started picking up noise outside. [color=a187be]"Hey Eleanor, wanna go check that out for me?"[/color] Eleanor already ahead of her, moved towards the door and went outside. Suddenly, the outside seemed to be completely pitch black, the street lights that had been shining seemed to disappear and then Eleanor could not be seen.

Putting all the tray's down, she quickly formed a spear [color=a187be]"Kusa-Chan, sound the alarm, we're under attack, it's her again! Everyone else, I need you to prepare yourselves for a fight, a hard one, this is the SS rank, she wont show herself, but her power...it's dangerou-"[/color] Eleanor got thrown through the window and slid to a halt on the floor. 

Getting up and brushing herself off, she opened her hand, a huge scythe appearing, looking at everyone, armor had appeared and an eye patch over her eye [color=ed145b]"Well what the fuck are yall waiting for? Get your asses in gear god dammit!"[/color] one of the shadow beast jumped through the window and she grabbed it with her hand, by the neck. [color=ed145b]"You see this thing?"[/color] slamming it into the ground [color=ed145b]"It's what we like to call, a pain in the ass little fucker, you cant kill them, only make them disappear for a little, before they return. Only way to make them disappear, is-"[/color] the beast tried to struggle, before Eleanor, or rather Lilith, pulled it's head from it's body and threw it back into the darkness of outside. The body seemed to go misty and dissipate into the air, but outside dozens and dozens of howls were heard [color=ed145b]"Oh, and don't let them slice you, it will infect you and you will go mad until we can take you to a chaser hospital"[/color] she jumped back into the darkness outside and Ikkime sighed.

[color=a187be]"Light wont work out there, so try to stick together alright everyone?"[/color] she looked at them, before her body was completely engulfed in purple and took on the shape of a fox humanoid shape, roaring, she jumped into the outside and disappeared leaving the others.
