(OOC: Sorry I didn't respond. Gotta love Procrastination.) Though everybody had finally caught up, Etrius was still wanting to fight. He squirmed as they moved together, all they way at the front. He twitched occasionally in anticipation. The dark tint to his skin didn't fade, indicating he was still in the mood to fight. Currently, all Etrius could think was fighting. Fighting against Vanitas, that is. Even as Kaida and Cat talked about Rapunzel, Etrius didn't even think twice about them. As "The faster we get there, the faster we can have this handled." Kaida was saying as Etrius padded into the cave. Etrius' eyes narrowed slightly, even though it was hard to tell, considering that his skin was nearly pitch-black. "If we want to get there fast, pick up pace. I am getting impatient." Etrius growled. Even his speech was getting less cognitive. He looked at Glen, seeing if he would agree with him. @Dr_Wigglz @Cstar @anelg
Etrius was in shock at Vanitas' appearance, and remained so moreover as Glen took off from the boat after Vanitas disappeared. He was a blank for a whole minute. Vanitas? Here? Etrius' senses resharpened in time to Kaida calling to Glen, "Are you alright up there!?" Glen's reply came from far off, "I'll be fine once the coward is dead!" Dead. The word sparked in Etrius, causing him to snap out of his trance, and his face converted to fury. Dark smoke began to curl off his shoulders. His drained to a blood red color, and he let out a hard snarl, launching off the boat and tearing past the girls. Though Glen was far ahead, Etrius would catch up. As Etrius ran, memories began to flood back. His life back home, it's destruction, and the murder of his parents. Though it pained him to think about it, the pain only made Etrius' rage all the more worse. He had began to move on all fours, and the blueish tint to his skin was becoming black, his eyes turning more luminous by the minute. He neared the cave, ready to go awol.
Etrius didn't have anything to say while on the boat. It didn't even bother him when Glen sparked some fire. What he was bothered by was the fact was how Rapunzel ended up in that tower in the first place. it didn't make any sense as to why she was there. Though he was more than happy that she was in good hands, while he was staring out into the water, he had a strange feeling that he and his colleagues were stirring up trouble. "Have any of you been wondering as to why Rapunzel was locked up in that tower?" Etrius asked aloud, "Because I have a feeling: Whoever created that tower, built with no stairs, no ladder, no anything, must've wanted Rapunzel to remain up there. Did anyone get the same thought?" @Dr_Wigglz @Cstar @anelg
For some reason, Etrius looks like Grell Sutcliff from Black Butler. Not saying I dislike it. Just. Deja vu
Chaos breaker dragon, eh? Love the scythe. Definitely my type. Good job MOK.
Etrius pretty much shrugged at the festivities while following Kaida, but he listened to the story carefully. The princess was kidnapped, and for that reason she had a special power. Odd. When the groundskeeper said something about the lanterns, Etrius was quietly surprised that Kaida wanted to see, and even more astonished that Glen also wanted to go. He cocked his head at the two slightly, as if think about it. He saw an apple cart nearby and decided to get one for himself. He went over, asking, "One golden delicious." And placed down a couple of coins from his cloak. He recieved the golden delicious, and took a bite, walking back over. He pondered a little more about seeing the lanterns. "Fine Glen." Etrius said finally, "I would think it would be a nice change of pace for milady here, as well as the rest of us. I'm actually getting a little bored, to be honest." @Cstar @Dr_Wigglz
One more for Vanitas love!
Ok, so the social group is completely set up. Your objectives are set up as follows.
And Etrius too?
"That being said, don't do magic, and don't pull out your keyblades unless absolutely necessary. Just go in there, and have a good time. Okay?" "Well, when you put it that way," Etrius said, sheathing his Keyblade. Though he hated not being armed, it sounded neccessary. "Also... does this stand out at all?" Etrius looked her over carefully, before saying, "A little. Then again," He looked over his own cloak, which marked red, purple, and black, "I think everyone is in need of wardrobe change."
Etrius will spend points on each of the following: -Power (4) -Dexterity (4) -Willpower (4) - Stamina (4) -Intelligence (2) Equipping Aerial Sweep and Combo Boost Thank you..
Meh....@Cstar
Ok, I'll see if I can work something out.
Etrius let out a yelp when a flame appeared on his cloak and gave a hard look at Glen. "Try that again, and I'll make sure that you get turned into a Heartless." Etrius snapped, but his eyes didn't change. Instead, he and Cat smothered the flame and he straightened his clothing before continuing, "And just because I use darkness isn't any excuse to take advantage of me. I don't have any evil intentions, so lay off. I haven't even hurt you once!" Etrius then picked up his pace, "Honestly, could everyone stop marking me as a bad guy? I'm not your enemy. Ok? If anyone wants to disagree with me, we can talk about it AFTER the mission. Until then, leave me alone." Etrius may have made his statement clear, but he wasn't sure that Glen would play any more tricks, so Etrius summoned his Oathkeeper, spinning it occasionally, just so that Glen could get the idea.
Etrius had been following his colleagues,silent as a ghost that He was. He heard Kaida's, and having nothing to do, responded, "Not too much since most of the worlds are going to darkness, assuming you already know this, but we mostly stay at the Land of Departure. All we've really done is go on missions, sealing keyholes-" Etrius realized that he spoke too much. He gave a grimace before saying, "That's us in a nutshell." @Cstar (OOC: Sorry for short post. Will make up when Spring Break ends.)
Sylar Memphis Mood: Thoughtful/Bewildered | Location: Unknown Sylar woke with a start. He blinked his eyes, once, twice, but continued to see black, even though he mentally knew he was wide awake. He suddenly realized that he was in a black room. He looked around. It was about the same size as the hall of the Fabricated World painting, and it even had the same painting there. The only difference was that the background was white and it looked a lot like.... The gallery. Sylar soon realized he wasn't in the gallery. This place, it felt different. Too different. As if he had been teleported to a new world. The Fabricated World. Like in the story. Sylar also realized that he wasn't alone in the room. There, lying on the floor, was the girl from the story, Ib. She looked as if asleep, peaceful even. Scattered around her were red rose petals, and a rose stem. It was the very same rose that was tied to her life. She had ripped it apart, like as if she was torn between he loyalty between....Gary and Mary. So that's what it was. Sylar walked over to Ib's small body, and picked up the stem. He bent down, touched a finger to her neck. Sylar's eyes widened. There was still a beat, but it was really slow, really deep, as if in a deep sleep. Sylar looked at the stem carefully. If she was still alive, that could only mean that the rose was too. All he had to do was give it some water. But where? Sylar carefully slipped the rose stem into his pocket, and walked down the small hall, and opened the door, leading into what looked like an exact copy of the Gallery itself. Sylar has obtained a Rose Stem!
"You could've already guessed that he is an outlaw, milady." Etrius said quietly over the hubbub. Unlike Kaida, Etrius held a cool face, uninterested in the environment, and was shuffling his deck of Tarot cards as he usually did if he needed to process thoughts. "If I could only guess what else he plans to do. If you ask me...." Etrius paused as Glen made his statement before saying, "Excuse me." Etrius put his his cards away, and summoned his keyblade discreetly. He spun the blade quickly, and threw it. The blade smashed threw Glen's beer glass and hit the wall with a thunk. Etrius walked quietly over to retrieve it, saying to his drunken/sober colleague, "Drink any more and I'll blow it out your stomach, drunken wretch." By now, Etrius was a bit sickened. Considering that Flynn had taken them to a pub, and Glen embarrassing the hell out of the group, Etrius decided that in Glen's current state he would be a good distraction if trouble came by, but he would need to be riled up. Etrius walked over to Cat was sticking around, leaning on the wall next to the window, asking to her, "I would think that Flynn is no longer any value to be protected?" @Cstar @Dr_Wigglz @Cat~
Etrius had said nothing during the remainder of the conversation, and when he began to introduce himself, Kaida was already pushing them. Etrius immediately side-stepped, saying, "We're not statues, by the way, so save your energy. And my name is Etrius." Etrius straightened himself and continued to walk through the wilderness. This woman had no right to tell them what to do whatsoever. From there on out, he would rely on his own decisions while concerning that of Cat's and Glen's well being. Hopefully, she wouldn't get in the way again.
"And for the record, you do not talk to us like that." Etrius was standing behind Cat, eyes a glare but not red. He gave Glen an 'I told you so' look before stepping up and talking. "You say meddling. What are you doing? A bad job at sneaking around? We never asked you for your opinion." "Look, if your not going to introduce yourself, leave us alone. We have work to be done, and we don't need anything slowing us down. We already have one third wheel in the group." Etrius' eyes fell not on Glen, but Rider. Etrius didn't sound mad at the newcomer, just a little sensitive because nobody believed that he had sniffed the newcomer out. He just had hoped that she would get it.
As Glen made his response, Etrius ignored when Glen called him "Captain Emo", and replied "Shove a sock in it Glen, and get those two out of here. If I do happen to be right, which I'm convinced I am, I doubt any of us want them in the crossfire if an enemy attacks. Take the horse too, while your at it." Though Glen was already gone. "What just happened? What's gotten into you?" Cat's voice spoke behind him, making him turn. He felt strangely tired, as if negotiations had drained him of his patience. Though Cat had waved him off, he was more than willing to share his problem. He decided to talk to Cat about his subconscious dive. "I'll put it to you this way Cat," Etrius began, "I'm restless because of what power I hold. Back in the Land of Departure, I went to take a nap, only to take a Dive to The Heart." Etrius also began to follow Glen, motioning to Cat to follow, as he continued to speak. "I don't know what was going on, but apparently, my own powers might be trying to take over." @Dr_Wigglz @Cat~ @Cstar
