Ixion thanked the guard that helped carry the vampire to their destination. The assassin noted that he ached all over from the fall that he had with the Fixer, concluding that he needed to get some form of rest at the Drunken Dove to gather his strength in order for him to get the money that is owed to him and get replacement armour. The journey remained quiet, which gave him the chance to think about the sword and what role the black stones had for the weapon. He thought about how the glow came when the blade came into contact with the vampire’s wooden staff. Perhaps it reacted with natural materials and not man-made? he initially thought, though that thought was hesitant as he doesn’t recall if the weapon glowed when Blue was in possession of the weapon. After a few minutes of theorizing on what role the stones had with the blade, they arrived at the inn.

Once he walked inside, he first of all kept a detail of everything that was inside the inn, just in case he needed to teleport. During this, he looked at the people who were inside. Apart from a group talking to some merchants and a couple having a few drinks over a conversation, nothing really stood out from the ordinary. That was until his eyes focused in on the figures that were in the far right corner. It wasn’t too had to notice the elephants in the room when everyone in the common room gave them a wide berth. The first figure didn’t give the assassin much details so it made him slightly uneasy at the unknown threat that the figure posed. Their companion, however, appeared to be female, though the blue hair and flaked skin on the right side of her face seemed too unusual. Coincidentally, the two figures turned to the arriving group. Ixion noted the eyes glowing in the light and badges that were on their chests, but he was too far away to determine the details on them. He then looked at the corporal, who too was looking at the figures in the corner. The hand that was used to support the vampire’s side clenched into a fist as he noticed a smile on the man’s face. He knows them, he concluded. He is up to something.

"Here we are. Don't leave the city without notifying the Ducal Guard for the next few days, sirs; we may have more questions concerning the murder of this... Blue?"

The assassin nodded at the corporal, not giving any signs of his suspicions to the man. “I wasn’t planning on leaving the city too soon, seeing as I need to replace my armour which was damaged during the encounter.” He then looked at the vampire, then back at the penin. “Where do we get a room?”
@Mercinus3 I'm going to need a history.


Yup, that was slightly dopey of me. I had thought about one key aspect of her history (which I will shoot a PM your way to see if that is alright to leave out of the history) that I forgot that there are other things that could have gone into the history. I'll work on that now.

Yeah that's not a problem. I'll get a post up in the next few days.

Somehow, I've got a bad feeling that things are not going to end well for Ixion. He might be mistaken as a demonspawn, after all :P Anyway, I'll wait for I'on to thank and dismiss the guards before I post something.

M3
Well, I'll throw a character into the ring for your consideration.

I've now posted as well (with the inclusion of a new Character Title that I've made for Ixion). Apologies for it being short.

At first, the assassin tensed up when the guard in charge hesitated in his response, even after the reassurance that the penin had given them. Would it be one of the few times where I am not to be believed? came the worrying thought from him. He had gotten himself out of a lot of trouble through partial truths or, in dire cases, flat out lies. Though a lot of those times he had escaped his predicament with the people who listened to them accepting them, none of them the wiser, there were a few who saw his deception. For those who saw through them? Well, they now they won’t be around to tell anyone about them bar his master. He does prefer those kind of people though.

Unconsciously, his hand hovered over the area where his throwing knives were, just in case the guards had turned on them. Even if the small group was formed over a common enemy, Ixion wasn’t going to lose what was left of his freedom let alone his life to the guards. After what seemed like an eternity in the assassin’s mind, one order was given from the corporal. "Stand down." Now there was a moment of relief for him as his hand dropped from where they were into a more relaxed position. Despite the pain from such an action, he was relieved that no further fights was going to happen on this day. "The Drunken Dove, you say? We'll escort you there, sir, and make sure nothing else happens." Ixion nodded in agreement. It was a reasonable gesture from the guards, despite him being a person who could go to the tavern with I’on and the unconscious person. However, with the state that he is in, the extra protection was a nice thing to have.

While the penin talked more with the corporal, the assassin walked to the unconscious vampire. While the situation had passed, he did wonder why the vampire decided to go into a rage and attack the guards, of all people. That is, if he did see past the actions that rendered them unconscious in the first place. Biting through the pain, he hefted the unconscious man onto his shoulder, his legs sagging under the weight. Before I’on ushered the words for the guards to lead them to the tavern, he looked over at the penin, the look of ‘I will explain everything that transpired here’ being subtle in his eyes. The assassin owed him that much at least.
I will certainly be keeping my eye on this RP as a gritty world situation is intriguing.

Who is next on the Zerul side? Yoshua, Rhaevnn (should Morgan begin to wake up), Mercinus?
Else it is @Ashgan with Jillian (it has been over three weeks, and according to my own arbitrary rules, I am allowed to start poking people once it's been over two weeks), ASTA with Claw in one collab and Jack in the other (I sort of could post for the lack of much else to write, but that might both leave Jaelnec a bit behind and be a bit repetitive in terms of theme).


To be honest, I have no idea on who's next. I would say Yoshua again as I think the guards are addressing Yoshua. I could be wrong though.
