[center][h3]Nicholson Household[/h3] [h3]Sunday - Night[/h3][/center] [hider=Players] [@LadyAnnaLee] - Sara [@Yu Narukami] - Rei [@BladeSS4] - Bakuto[/hider][hr] The combination of Bakuto and Rei aiming to strike down the small, weaselly Hollow was met with some success. Though Bakuto's attempt had missed, it was only by mere inches, as the Hollow, shocked, broke it's stealth in a shrill cry before suddenly being apprehended by Rei's Kido spell, Horin. It was now bound, and a simple jab or swing from Bakuto, not even the most committed or strongest swing he can muster would be enough to end it's pitiful existence. All it could do was hope these two were boneheaded enough to not strike him down immediately. Though Sara had cursed that they were out in the wider main street, rather than the small alleyway... It would turn out to be a decent decision, as a large serpentine presence suddenly made itself known. It's length, unfathomable in the darkness and nooks and crannies, and it's width taking up maybe half of the narrow alleyway. This thing had been slithering around her house, looking like it had been seeking a way in silently, and now it was frustrated. Just like the hollow they were just fighting, it was yet another cowardly type, not wanting to make much noise, and to hunt it's prey as quickly as possible. In this instance, Sara's signals of danger flared up, and fortunately she had ample space to move as large fangs darted out towards her from the darkness of her own home. Even if the sharp fangs were avoided, without ample movement, it's heavy body would serve to body check anything nearby too. It was strange such a thing was so cowardly, with this sort of strength it could fight directly, yet still it held to it's cowardly creed.

The dangerous swings in front of him caused the blue hollow to halt almost abruptly, suddenly, giving Tony but a precious moment to compose himself. Of course with such speed and control, striking it down like this was not possible, one's move had to be deliberate and planned, but it's fear of his strikes also served to teach him that it might not be so resilient. Whatever thoughts he had in this moment, he would have to put them on hold as the lanky blue demon seemed to flicker before appearing at Tony's right... Huh? Even as he turned right, or left... He felt it's presence on the other side too. Was this intense speed? Was this cloning? Or just an illusion? He had but a single moment to decide what it was and respond accordingly. The presence on either side was real, there was no mistaking, it's hand was raised, a blade forming as it's claws combined to form a puncturing weapon, going for a thrust. Does he call it's bluff? Or does he deal with it as if both were real? Or even, another option should he think of one. [hr] [center][h3]Stone Household[/h3] [h3]Sunday - Night[/h3][/center] [@LC] Darius Stone[hr] Darius' sudden vigilance around his house was a surprise, not only to him, with the voice in his head... But also to the presence here. This one had been watching this home carefully for a couple nights... Initially, he followed the scent of a particularly strong human here, yes, one who had a good amount of reiryoku, would certainly be quite satisfying, but seeing this man had a woman with him too, one that had been slowly rubbing off of him, and she too had begun to become more appetizing. It's greed knew few limits, rather than going in for an easy meal, it waited, wanting the two of them to be a meal that would last it months... It was also lazy... But now he saw, this man... He was a Shinigami, and one that was now alert to him. But how? This one had concealed itself perfectly! Especially on a night like this, with so much happening, it's presence could sink beneath the waves... Yet this one was sharp. That's no good. If he remained alert each night like this, this one would simply lose it's chance to eat... As Darius made his patrol around his house, reaching the front gate, he saw it... Something that had been there all this time, yet at the same time... Why did he not notice it before? He had actually passed it, maybe two or three times, yet he did not notice it, and why? Because it did not want to be seen. But while it was in this state, it could not move, and so was no danger to anyone but it's prey on a lonely night. What he saw before him was a statue come to life, a body that seemed to be entirely made from the bone of a Hollow mask melted off of it, falling to the ground like ash, before a goat mask formed upon it's head. Two red eyes, and a large dragon-like jaw, with hulking arms. It sported two feathered strands on it's back like thin wings, but did not seem to be matured enough to be in use... Though, it did at least look mildly intimidating. Without a word it raised it's arm, large hands with massive talons ready to rip through anything that came into it's path.
