Over the Hill ~ ClosetMonster x PopeAlessandros

I do hope the flu hasn't decided to take you into the afterlife. Not complaining, but I am a little worried for your health at this point :P Just drop off a ping here to let me know you're okay?

A Bloody Murder

Well, it saved his bacon, kinda. I just hope this isn't to hokey for ya, or your character. :P

A Bloody Murder

Not really caring what the boy thinks of him as far as what he is, Rei stops trying to convince the prince that he is not a murderer. 'There is a big difference, but at this point the whole thing is moot. However. . .' The boy's words about something black and cold inside him passes over him like a breeze. Instead of responding right away he looks to the door, then to the room. 'This place is far more than most could ever ask for. Just this room could house entire families far more comfortably than most of the meager homes I've seen in my travels' His eyes wander back over to the boy sitting rather stiffly in his chair with his arms behind his back. 'Despite what I've learned of him and his treatment, he has it better than even the richest commoner' His arms relax, one falling to his side, the other sliding down to grip the handle of his weapon gently. 'And yet, the one thing, the only thing, he seems to care about is the safety of others. I have met many in positions like his, and all placed themselves first. All offered anything to keep their lives, or tried to fight me' His head tilts tot he side and a finger begins stroking over the weapon handle.

'But not him. He's different. He's interesting. Like the people in the books I read. But real. He's here, with those eyes I've seen so often on poor towns. The ones worn by those people who pity the poor. Yes, pity, that's the look. He pities me' His grip tightens on the handle and in a smooth slow motion he draws it. His eyes remain locked on the prince as he does so. He settles the blade in his opposite hand and rolls it thoughtfully. After a few quiet minuets his shifts the blade up so the point is pressing into the flesh in the middle of his hand. It does not draw blood, but as he concentrates the spot begins glowing. A moment later the light goes out and he drops the hand, bringing his other down at the same time to rest his blade at hip level.

He blinks a slow blink and takes a breath before finally speaking. “You are different.” Those words hand for a moment as he comes to a decision. “A lot of what you say makes no sense to me, as I do not feel as humans do, but I have become curious.” Pushing off the bed post he takes a step towards the prince. “I have never met one as you, though from what I've read you are as a ruler should be. You concern being first for others rather than yourself.” He takes another step. “I don't understand it. I find you interesting, and I. . . .”His mind casts about for the right way to put his thoughts. “I. . . .Do not think it would be to my benefit to kill you.” He takes another step, standing right in front of the prince now. He nods, “It is true, I live for my own benefit, thinking only of me. But for me, I am the only one I have, so thinking of others is pointless.”

Slowly he brings the blade up, keeping a tight hold of the handle. He settles the tip directly over the boy's heart, the tip barely a hair's breath from touching him. “I have no obligation to fulfill my contract, seeing as I haven't spent the money yet. However I think letting you live would not be good enough to fulfill my selfish wanting.” Reaching down with his free hand he pulls one of the prince's arms from behind his back and settles his hand atop his own on the handle of the weapon. He blinks slowly again, his face expressionless. “You say you don't care anymore, and that you are tired of 'playing the game'. So here I will give you a choice. If you truly have no care for you life anymore, I do not see a point in you living it, so I will help you end it.” His head tilts gently tot he side. “But if there is any part of you that is willing to live, I will stay my hand and return the money. In exchange for permission to stay and observe you, I will pledge on my life to keep you and any others you wish me to safe and alive.” He pauses for a moment then adds, “Though for every life I have to take in that pursuit I expect compensation. One can not live on slaked curiosity after all.”

Nyaaa, more shortness :P

When the Roar Falls ~ PopeAlessandros x Raafling

With a chuckle he calls over his shoulder as the visitor walks towards the wash room, “No offense taken.” As soon as he's sure the fire will stay lit properly Viltez stands and makes his way over tot he small kitchen. He's looking through his well stocked pantry when the man comes back from the washroom and says anything would be fine. He nods and sets about preparing something for he and his guest. Fulling the kettle with some water and tea leaves he swings it over the fire to heat. Turning to the other man he smiles and points at the couch. “Feel free to have a seat, tea should be ready soon.” With that he turns back to his work. 'I know he likes sweet things, so maybe I can make something with a sweet drizzle' Pulling out some various fruits and veggies he begins make up an old dish he learned from one of the local woman years ago.

As he works he hums to himself for a while before he realizes he's effectively ignoring his guest. A bit sheepishly he looks over his shoulder as the tea begins whistling. His shirt had started riding up a bit from his continuous motion so as he turns to remove the kettle from the hook he pulls it down. “I'm sorry I'm being so quiet, I'm not use to guests.” With a faint cough he sets the teakettle on the small table and retrieving cups and a sugar bowl. He smiles over at the man. “In fact, you are the first one who didn't invite them self in, heh.” Making sure to leave the hot pads so he can pour his own tea should he want it Viltez heads back to his cooking. “And since you're my guest, I will offer my name first, seeing as I forgot to do so earlier in the market.” He turns to the man and gives a little bow. “My name is Viltez. I have no sir name, but people around here have taken to calling me Tezy for short.” As he stands back up he waves a hand to indicate he'd like to know the others' name.

We'll take the low road.

*Shuffles about* My names come out of nowhere, I hope you don't mind it *Shuffles about more* It's pronounced ee-lee-en-dee *Shuffles* *Waits for verdict*

We'll take the low road.

Amano's brows furrow in confusion. 'A name you can't speak? And what does he mean by here? Oh, maybe he's on the run or something' However deep down Amano can tell the meaning behind the words is far more sinister. He finds himself trying not to stare as the man stretches. He isn't really a prude, but it's hard not to be a little self conscious when the only person you've ever seen naked is yourself. At the feeling of the sharp claw under his chin his body goes stiff. His insides begin to quiver fearfully as the other speaks, his eyes locked on the man's face. He cringes visibly when he realizes that he's offended the man, but other than a whimper he is unable to make his body respond for the fear. However his brain begins working again slowly and he can feel things falling into place. 'This is very unnatural. He can't be human,not with these claws, and this darkness. I have been foolish in my fear' He swallows hard as the male draws back, and his eyes follow him intently.

'His powers. He has powers. He most definitely isn't lying, I see enough of it to know that. But what would I do with such a thing? I mean, it's not like I have a great need of it' As he walks towards the open window Amano brings up a hand, finally prying his tongue from the roof of his mouth. “I'm sorry. Please forgive me.” He takes a deep breath, trying to organize his thoughts quickly before continuing. “I do not think well when I am frightened, and this day has been scaring me non stop since I was captured. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful, and it was poor form of me to deflect the one request you've made of me.” With a cough Amano look up towards the ceiling for a second before looking back at the room's other occupant. “You saved my life, kept me safe, and if I am recalling things correctly, you have even asked how I would like to exact my revenge on those who harmed me.” Looking down at his wounded arms he adds with a smile, “And these. This is not a natural state of healing, so you must have done that too.”

His mind finally kicks back into almost full power and he manages to pull a smile for the man. “Although I'm sure you have far more talent than I, I thank you for your assessment. I don't know exactly what's going on here, but I will choose to believe in you. I have never had the highest opinion of myself, but if you say I have something, I trust you. You saved me, and I see now that you really wouldn't have if you didn't have a reason.” Talking makes him feel a bit better and after a relaxing breath he lets his eyes trail over the other man, taking in everything. 'If I'm really going to name this guy, right here, right now, I at least want to come up with something that suits him' The flawless tan skin, the beautifully shaped muscle, the dark hair, and at last the striking eyes all pour in through Amano's gaze and his mind slowly rolls into a name. “Illiendi.” he murmurs. Almost to himself he adds, “The god who will bring the end of days.” He blushes slightly, dropping his gaze to his feet. “If you like that name. . . .”

Magical Protection

This is Yu, I hope you like him :P He's not too interesting, but then again, neither is the life of a lazy cat :P

Name: Yu

Race: Cat Youkai(Silver Savannah Cat Breed)

Age: Physically looks early 20s when human, but is actually several hundred years old, still young for his race

Height: 5'3”

Weight: 115lbs

Size when in animal form: Picture :P

Hair: Silver to match his fur with a handful of black locks mixed in. Knee length, rather jagged at the bottom, bangs as long as the rest of his hair, and all parted down the middle. (Note:This stuff never seems to tangle, and somehow stays out of the way in battle)

Eyes: Golden feline slit eyes which he can disguise as baby blue human eyes when he needs to.

Skin: Unearthly white with only a single flaw, a harsh pink scar running from hip to shoulder blade across the back.

Build: Very slight with no clear muscle definition, but not sickly looking.

Extra: When in human form he has a cat tail just like in his animal form, but as thick as his wrist, and long enough to wrap around his neck several times. He also has the radar like savannah cat ears atop his head and no human ears. His nails are black, longer, ticker, and more pointed than human nails. All of these he can hide magically so that he can look completely human if he wants to.

Clothes: None. He can will a simple kimono and cover into existence, silver in color with a black obi and dark red covering, but he is naturally naked.

Accessories: None

Powers/Skills(If Applicable): Can transform between cat and a human like form, as well as hide his feline features when he has to. Has minor control over the elements, and is three times as strong as a human when fighting. He maintains many cat like qualities such as jumping many times your own height and climbing rough vertical surfaces when in human form, as long as he's not wearing shoes. Also, while not hiding his animal qualities his senses are like a cat's. He is strongly connected to nature and seems to understand messages on the wind.

General Personality: Yu is a very relaxed guy. He is almost instinctual slothful in many respects and gets testy when forced to move against this will. However, once he becomes active, he tends to not be able to stop until he's exhausted. Having see a lot of things in his many years, he isn't as easily fascinated any more, and something has to be particularly new or play to his more odd fascinations to catch his attention. He loves people for the most part, but has often found times where he wishes one nothing but harm for their actions. On the whole though, he love attention, if he doesn't have to work for it, and seeks out places where he can attain it easily. He can be somewhat obsessive and has a strong protective/possessive streak when it comes to things he likes.

Background: He was born at a time where it was already against the unwritten rules to reveal yourself to humans. He spent his childhood with his grandfather at the outer edges of a small village on an island. Eventually his grandfather returned to the clan, deep in the mountains. However Yu stayed in the village for quite some time. He became their good luck charm, but after a generation the village fell on bad times and blamed him. He was driven out of town, one farmer managing to get in a lucky slash with his old war blade. Now, even in cat form, he carries a scar across his back from the attack. In his feline form it is represented by a strip of white fur in the same shape, length, and location as when he's human. After that, he never stayed in a town or village longer than ten years, to avoid suspicion. He eventually hopped a boat to a mainland and has traveled the world ever since. He's been in his current town for only a few months and is just now getting to know the human residents. He's already acquainted with a few youkai like himself who live outside of town, but never meets with them in town. His life has been long, but not overly exciting, and even after his bad experience at a young age with humans, he finds himself very fond of them.
