Don't worry; you'll all see each other soon enough--"[/i][/color][/hider] [color=662d91][i][b]"Champion."[/b][/i][/color] Kaito started, waking up from his perch where he'd dozed off. He blinked away his lingering sleep, and grumbled a bit under his breath as he looked out over the street below. It was official: Penrose City was a shithole. He stretched a bit, trying not to shiver so much in this blasted cold, before answering the "phone call" in his head. [color=a187be][i]"Sorry. Having trouble keeping myself awake."[/i][/color] [color=662d91][b][i]"'Sorry' does not help you grow stronger, Champion. You must be vigilant- never forget why you came here in the first place."[/i][/b][/color] He scoffed. [color=a187be][i]Like I could forget.[/i][/color] His chest still tingled with phantom pains sometimes, where the blade had pierced him. He sighed, breath misting in this unnatural cold. He'd been cold before. Duh, winter. But this... something felt wrong about it. Even without the chaos, the natural disasters, the [i]literal wave[/i] of monsters that had swarmed the city soon after he'd arrived... yeah. It didn't inspire much confidence. [color=a187be][i]And that's without mentioning the Magical Girl Inquisition. Which is a sentence I never thought I'd think.[/i][/color] Turns out people like him usually meant bad news. So much so that there was an entire organization dedicated to murdering things like him. Strangely, they'd been... well, not exactly pleasant to him while he'd been here, but they at least tolerated him for the most part, while the monsters were on the prowl. So long as he only drank their blood (the ones that had blood, anyway), or stuck to stealing blood packs from hospitals, he was golden. Until now. These new girls were cracking down, and hard. And Kaito couldn't help but feel there were way too many people that wanted him dead at the moment. He sighed, standing up fully on the street lamp he'd been perched on. [color=a187be][i]"Any of your birds see anything suspicious going on nearby? A dark girl, or a monster?"[/i][/color] A pause. [color=662d91][b][i]"...South. There is a creature on the prowl. Not far. It may be tangible. You may be able to feed again."[/i][/b][/color] Kaito tried not to let on how much of a relief that would be; he'd run out of blood packs a few days ago, and hadn't had the chance to restock. And that gnawing thirst was starting up in his throat again. [color=a187be][i]Stupid vampire powers. "I'll check it out, my Queen,"[/i][/color] he said, flapping his wings and heading off into the night. Time to hunt. Again.
