Valerio's head nodded to the beat playing through his headphones, silently taking in his new surroundings. From the movement of the floor beneath him, it would be safe to assume that he was on a boat of some kind. And based off the clothes of the bodies surrounding him, they were probably pirates. You see, the thing about dimension hopping was that you never knew where you were going to land, or when. But this exact moment in time was where his glasses had sent him, so Valente must be around somewhere. Bringing his attention back to the guy he had asked the question to, he was surprised to find that an extra person had arrived. Like the blond, this dude was stronger than the lackeys he had taken down when he first arrived. He wasn't powerful enough to be a wizard like himself, but he wasn't a pushover either. Not to mention his glare was scary as hell and it actually made him inwardly want to back off, but nothing showed outwardly, keeping the best pokerface he could manage.

The sweet voice of Nicki Minaj drowned out whatever reply the new stranger bit out, but luckily for him, Valerio could read lips, even in the darkness behind his shades, " Hmmm, yeah, no, can't do that." He said nonchalantly, pushing his shades further up his nose. Valente's magic was definitely around here somewhere and he wouldn't leave without inspecting it thoroughly. Just to make sure, he pressed the button resting on the rim of the glasses and did another scan. He did not want to pick a fight with these guys if it wasn't necessary. The black lenses lit up, revealing a LED screen and the glasses beeped once, zeroing in on....a hook? Just to make sure, he ran another one, but the results were the same. The golden hook the glaring pirate held was definitely one of his brother's toys, but why did he have it? And where was Valente?

Trixxtal, like Jecht, was perplexed by the clothing and style of the unknown person standing in the middle of their ship. He was like nothing he had ever seen before, with his skin tight trousers and his plastic shoes. The black circles covering his eyes was unsettling, just like the contraption covering his ears. He could also feel the power radiating off of him, just like he could feel Jecht's when they stood side by side, but this man's was different. It was obvious he was a wizard, that much was for sure, but there was just something...different about him. A whole 'other wordly' aura and it was making him uncomfortable.

When he refused Jecht's order, Trixxtal narrowed his eyes, " Hey, you heard him, leave now!" He shouted from behind Jecht's shoulder.

Valerio was vaguely aware that one of the pirates were talking to him but with a flick of his wrist, the blond pirate dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes, joining the rest of the crew on the floor. He pushed his headphones down and the sick beats faintly filled the night's silence. " You have something I need." He spoke calmly, taking a step closer. Whether he wasn't paying attention before or he hadn't been close enough, Valerio could tell what the man was now. Vampire. They all were. But the one standing before him was the most powerful, so he was most likely the captain. " The hook, give it to me." He held his hand out expectantly.[/center]
