Scarlet and Shina were at the counter, paying for what they bought, Scarlet had this feeling still looming around her maybe it was just from the cold touching her so suddenly. Shina couldn't help but smile, teasing the shorter girl was always something she loved doing, and since Shina is much more famous throughout the Ringed City as a weapons designer than the Scarlet who works at a workshop in the middle, it is much more easier for Shina to get around (And get free stuff). As Scarlet extended her hand to give the money, a green outline appeared around them and they were suddenly somewhere else, a metro, yeah it looked like a metro. Shina didn't expect the sudden teleport, nor was it her who did it but they came face to face with some skeleton prick when they got off the train. They weren't the only one there, there were others as well, a tall chick in a dress, a drow of some sort, a whole lot of different things; but, Shina was facing someone specifically the man with a smokey aura, his presence was barely there, but she knew he was there, it was like she knew him or something but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. [color=f26522]"Shina? You alright?"[/color] Scarlet asked. [color=0072bc]"Yeah, I just thought I know that guy."[/color] Shina replied, shaking her head, it didn't seem odd for Shina to shake her head she was quite social even for a Cirath. Shina watched as that same guy, stepped forward to defend everyone, but that tall chick had other plans, walking up herself and yelling at the skeleton thing with her eyes glowing or something, the two didn't know what he was until that point. Shina couldn't feel his presence at all and it was annoying her, but as soon as that thing spoke and said [i][color=gray]”What’s up, Dah’k? Finally died, have you?”[/color][/i] Shina suddenly shifted, her stance got lower and she started to feel a bit nervous. For Shina, that name echoed in her head for a long time now, ever since her becoming of Cirath, but she didn't know who or what it was, but now that gave her enough information for her to know that she should stay away. [color=0072bc]"Scar... Stay by me."[/color] Shina let out, in all seriousness. Scarlet felt her seriousness and she knew that she did need to stay by her as best as she could, though she was less capable than her, she shouldn't be counted out. Shina moved her hand and wrapped it around Scarlet's wrist softly, making sure she wasn't hurting her. Scarlet had to heat up her veins so that it wouldn't feel so cold when Shina held her wrist. [color=f26522]"Shina... I-"[/color] Scarlet tried to say. [color=0072bc]"Hush! I'm having trouble right now."[/color] Shina replied, rather seriously. [color=f26522]"I can help you."[/color] Scarlet pleaded. [color=0072bc]"No, you can't, not this time."[/color] Shina shook her head and turned to face her. Scarlet then just stayed quiet, maybe she couldn't help, maybe Shina can help with this. [i][color=gray]”Welcome to Hell!”[/color][/i] said Death, and Shina tightened her grip on Scarlet's wrist, she began to grind her teeth like this was a situation she shouldn't be in, she almost felt like she dragged Shina down here with her, but maybe not. [i][color=gray]”I’ve installed an app on your phones that will contact me when you open it. It's like an alert system. Only use it if you need me to come save your asses from anything or if you just wanna talk to your Uncle Death. I also gave those without phones a temporary one. Have fun and try not to get killed!”[/color][/i] Shina then fished the temporary phone out her pocket and handed it to Scarlet. [color=0072bc]"You know I can't use this, you hold it." [/color] Said Shina. [color=f26522]"No I can't take it, it's bounded to you." [/color] Scarlet replied. [color=0072bc]"Right..."[/color] Shina muttered. Suddenly, two people spoke after Death had left with a [i]"So, how's it going?"[/i] [color=f26522]"Well, things could be-"[/color] She was cut off by Shina who just pulled on her arm. [color=f26522]"Why are you so hostile all of a sudden? These people could help us."[/color] Scarlet whispered. [color=0072bc]"I've never been wrong to you right? Just trust me, you don't want to get caught along with them."[/color] Shina whispered back. Shina was rather intelligent, she knew that trusting so many people may be a bad choice, for both their statuses. Especially since she knos who one of them is.
