(This is me introducing the new characters I edited into my character lists earlier :3)

[color=8882be]Just outside of the hotel, another portal opens. The figures who step out of it would look just like a couple of other people if viewed as silhouettes from a distance. Up close, however, this cat demon girl and her spirit guardian are definitely different, in both colors and attitude.
"It was quite nice of Death to open this portal for us." The big blue cat-like spirit guardian comments, wrapping his tail instinctively around his charge.
"I thought he was coming here...to investigate why Sephie fell completely off his radar." The cat demon girl with black hair and silver paws mutters. "I'm surprised he did not follow us..."
"Ah, well, I believe he mentioned something about popping by, but only is Sophie were to come with him. You know how he hates to leave her without any good protection. I'd say that he most likely won't come here unless he can find someone as good as Violence to guard Sophie while he's off at work and she's here. I'd offer my guardian services, but...I'm forever bound to you." Marko replies with a bow.
"Heh...well, I am pretty confident in your abilities. I think you could handle us both, but I know you suffer from separation anxiety due to our...past experience...the labs..." Silversa trails off. Marko frowns as he watches her eyes darken with the memories. He tries to think of a smooth transition to another subject. Luckily, they happen to be standing right in front of one.
"Why don't we go inside?" Marko gestures towards the hotel doors. "I don't see anyone outside, so I suppose Ammi and all the others must be inside. They'd probably love to see us again."
"...Okay." Silversa gives him a curt nod.
Behind them the portal begins to close, but before it can, another set of large claws, similar to Marko's but much more savage-looking, stop it from shutting all the way like an elevator. The rogue spirit guardian steps through quietly and observes his surroundings for a moment with a sharp eye.
"Hmph...so this is where she ran off to this time." The hazy bluish-purple bag spirit grunts. The sound of his voice, as laced with darkness as it is, catches Silversa and Marko's attention.
"Hm? Is that....no, that's not Kiroketsu..." Marko evaluates this newcomer carefully, slowly starting to pull Silversa completely behind him as a means of protecting her. She stands her ground, however.
"Who are you? Why did you follow us?" Her serious tone almost demands these answers rather than asks for them.
"My name and my purpose here aren't important to you and have absolutely nothing to do with you either." Sarchesker sneers. "Just move along and leave me be, unless you want to end up trapped underground again. Permanently." He flexes his claws.
Silversa pales a little bit, and allows Marko to move her behind him completely this time. He narrows his eyes.
"You could only know about those things if you were in league with the Master..." Marko gives this newcomer a deadly look uncharacteristic of him. "Do I need to get Sephie's friends out here? Or shall I deal with you myself?"
"Hah. Don't bother. The last thing I need is confrontation with the whole band of fools." Sarchesker rolls his eyes. "No. There's only one person I need to see here, and I doubt you even know her. And, as for you dealing with me...hah, you couldn't even deal with anyone for awhile. Silversa had to protect you herself while you were growing up as a spirit guardian. The strained, tortured experimental subject girl had to protect her own guardian...how pathetic is that?" A light smirk crosses his face, and Sarchesker himself crosses the line for Marko. Marko lets go of Silversa for only a moment so he can rush this seemingly charge-less guardian spirit with his powers of speed. However, Sarchesker only stands there, and with one well-placed swing, he manages to knock Marko a few feet off to the right, and leave slash marks on his cheek.
"Pathetic, all of you..." Sarchesker scowls.
"Silversa, don't." Marko warns quickly when he spots his charge about to try rushing the powerful spirit herself. She heeds her guardian's warning, but very, [i]very[/i] reluctantly.
"Hopefully, I won't be seeing you two again too soon." Sarchesker huffs as he begins walking away, towards the side of the hotel building. "I was hoping I wouldn't have to confront too many other insipid creatures before I got to the insipid creature I was actually coming here for..." He trails off as he gets further away from the pair in front of the hotel.
"Are you okay?" Silversa steps over to her spirit guardian's side.
"Just fine." Marko stands back up and puts his tail around Silversa again. "These wounds will heal up within the next few minutes, certainly. Let's just get inside and maybe warn the others. Stay close to me."
With that, the two walk inside of the lobby, and begin observing everyone else.
"I do not see Ammi...or anyone I recognize..." Silversa mumbles under her breath.[/color]
