[color=6ecff6][h2]Riley Spade ⌛ Time Hound[/h2][/color] [indent][indent] This entire scene was like a car crash- and here the Time Hound stood, simply watching like a hawk, a certain madness was in her eyes, like a hawk staring too it’s prey, wanting simply too rip it from limb too limb- too tear him apart, pull limb from it’s socket, scrape his skin from the bone, too show the true monster within, the ugliness, the pure selfishness behind the very being, his passions burned hotter than any flame. The Time Hound’s, cyan eyes would flare red and it would take all of her being too stop herself from going down, from going closer; despite her strength, how many innocent ghouls would she slaughter before death? She knew it wouldn’t be the one that mattered the most, she knew she wouldn’t get too Sage, and even in the perfect world where she did. He would still beat her. She wanted too turn away, not watch this gourmet in front of her, but it was like a car crash too the eyes of a human, she couldn’t pull her gaze from this scene. The hunger would kick up at the scent of both human and ghoul dance through the air. Will this hunger ever stop? One hand would rest on her stomach, as the other would move too grip the gun that had been tightly nestled against her back. Or could she simply starve her sins? As she watched, she couldn’t help but too hear his words he spoke too her, hear the last things he said to her before her betrayal, it was all still fresh no matter how long she had been from his side. [i]”Don’t try too fight the storm, you’ll tumble over board.. the waves will pull you under, and the tides will bring you back too me.”[/i] These were his waves, staring too his soldiers and those were his tides. He had been the storm and here she was... overboard Now, she knew.. this was his promise, at the time; she had thought this was simply pandering that Sage did, he enjoyed his own voice for sure, just as much as she was sure his soldiers would continue too fuel his ego. Staring too his numbers, the Spade gang had only grown since she left, once simply guerrillas for hire, but now... now no doubt Sage would be able too build his empire. She wouldn’t let him have it, she wouldn’t let him have this win... she would tear down everyone in a way he didn’t know Riley would take a step back on the building, as her nose would twitch in the air. She didn’t want too stay any longer, but yet here she was the silent observer. [/indent][/indent] [color=ed1c24] [right][h2]♠ Sage Spade[/h2][/right][/color] [indent][indent] Devoted to destruction.. A bitter scent would dance through the flames, as Sage would go silent suddenly, which would be rare and most of the time deadly for those around the man. The scent would be one that was almost like a memory, everyone has those memories. It was torturous and yet that wouldn’t stop him from inhaling deeply. Taking in the alien like memory, it was painful. Growling suddenly as the scent of death would cover the scent, closer than what he was enjoying. Sage would slowly look up too Huey, he would sigh softly. [color=ed1c24]“I can’t even entrust you too fetch me two living humans, why would i entrust you with such a mission?”[/color] His voice was low, as if hurt by Huey’s action. Great, he doubted they’d have time too get a living one, he wanted too be out of there now. A soft smile would decorate his face, as he’d glance too the Shadows. Pausing at this time as Rei would walk off. He’d speak up only when Rei was almost out of ear shot,[color=ed1c24] “Rei, make sure the rest of our soldier’s get home quickly.”[/color] He would say calmly, if Sage had been human, he would probably compare Rei to a cat, you know.. that one cat that sort of comes and goes, only useful when it’s murdering, other then that.. he let it do what it’s want. As long as he kept getting his offerings of human, or any those who oppose him. Tilting his head towards Huey as his eyes fell on the cause of the rotting scent. [color=ed1c24]“Once they are home, I want you to sweep for any other ghouls..” [/color]his words [color=ed1c24] “Take your food, and go too your respective homes. “[/color] Sage’s voice would suddenly boom, if the stray would come home, then he would teach it the rules of his army, however he wasn’t about too deny a fellow ghoul a meal, he would never let his people starve- quickly holding his hand up, towards Huey. [color=ed1c24]“Not you, and nor you my Shadow.”[/color] he would call softly towards Cj. [color=ed1c24]“Huey, I will give you a lesson, because you remind me of someone from long ago, but do not think lightly of me... i do not allow mistakes, i do not allow slacking.”[/color] He would continue as he looked too Huey.[color=ed1c24] “You will be carrying those humans, and you will take Miss Cj and I, to the new ghoul. “ [/color]he spoke calmly as his eyes would glow off the flames. The sound of sirens had been in the distant, however it was more so the sound of fire alarms, it seemed the fire department was smart enough to allow his group their meal. Good, he wasn’t in the mood for anything else. Looking towards Huey, he didn’t want too seem too cruel, despite this fact he was holding back his true nature. That scent from earlier, it was gone all he could smell was those rotting apes on Huey’s back. [color=ed1c24]“You will continue too carry them until I tell you too drop them.”[/color] Looking in the direction of Cj.[color=ed1c24]" You will also behave, as well. I do not want any of you attacking, Huey.. you would have been pulling along too humans now you have too carry our peace offering too our next hopeful volunteer.” [/color]he spoke calmly as his large wings would twitch slightly irritated, however his demeanor would not show it, still a kind smile on his face.[color=ed1c24] “If, they are against our views, then Cj you may decide what will be done with the stray.”[/color] he would calmly explain glancing between the darkness where his Shadow crept and towards the flames that would brightly dance over Huey’s figure. [color=ed1c24]“Lead the way, Huey.”[/color] [/indent][/indent] [center] [h1][color=c4df9b] ✿ Emi Ayame[/color][/h1][/center] [indent][indent] Soft pink eyes would stare up towards the dark sky. The sky had been careless, and she loved this sight. Something where blood couldn’t run down, somewhere screams never reached. Emi had lived just outside of Tokyo, not even ten minutes from the town. Laying on her roof top as she stared too the sky, a bracelet tightly around her wrists. This had been her weapon, something too keep the peace. Looking up too her bracelet she would give a soft sigh, closing her eyes softly. Emiru Ayame, long silver hair would cushion her head against the roof’s shingles, her legs grounded firmly on the roof. The tan woman had been curvy, but in a healthy way; after all one had too be quick on their feet when they go face too face with a flesh hungry monster. The wind would suddenly blow violently, kicking up her long silver hair and causing the woman too open her eyes towards the lovely sky. Shades of deep red and orange would burn against the sky now, and the girl would quickly sit up staring towards the sky which now had been covered in blood no doubt, she would continue too stare at it, only for the red too reach up higher. Fuck.. she could see the flames from where she had been. Standing up suddenly, Emi.. would know right away, she didn’t hear any sirens, she didn’t hear screaming, just a silence falling over the area like an illness, no cars, even her breath seemed too get stuck in her throat. The softness in her pink eyes would harden up, like an old wound that had long scarred over. With speeds no human would have been capable of- well, no [b]average[/b] human, she’d jump off of her roof top. Landing gently on the ground as a blade like whip would had been dug deep into the fire place of the small home, the weapon would disappear back into it’s more, accessible form. She would run inside of her house, grabbing the keys too her small car and quickly racing towards the city. With one hand firmly gripping the wheel of her car as it sped towards the city, her free hand would fumble with the radio. [i]Bad pop song[/i], switching stations, [i] Infomercial[/i]- switching stations, [i]informercial[/i] she’d switch a few more times, just people trying too get her too buy stuff, even the damned news channel had been speaking of something along the lines of a face cream. Turning off the radio with a disgruntled sigh, she’d skid her car too a stop. She could hear screaming now, yet the area seemed ever so barren, moving too park her car at the empty streets. This was her life, she was only in the start of the city, that was clearly in one of the poor blocks, clearly on the other side of town. Giving a soft sigh, Sage saw humanity as machines, something too be destroyed at his will, something too be used and nothing more, devoured. No! Suddenly the girl would run off, towards the flames. Human’s were hiding, where would they run when there was no where else too run? Breathing softly as she would run towards the chaos, she couldn’t hear screaming anymore, that wasn’t good. If they thought they would be machines, then she would prove him wrong, the Quinx Squad would prove him wrong, they’d be the cogs that would change this dark future, they would face the fires and stand for the future, swallowing any fear back. She was more than a machine, her heartbeat was racing slightly. If only everyone else would stand by her, they couldn’t afford too hide, either way they’d die at this monster’s hand... taking a few steps, she’d slow down. Where had the rest of her squad been? Glancing around as she would hear the sounds of sirens racing towards the fires. The cowards.. they waited, they waited until the ghouls were long gone. Sage and his army would hear the heart of humanity, they wouldn’t be feasted upon as cattle, no... breathing in deeply she’d continue too run towards the flames, towards their barbecue.
