Carnival at Solemn Park[private/Kissos]

A smile crossed Raiza's face as he inhaled the sweet smell of cotton candy, and the buttery goodness of freshly lacrima popped popcorn. The fancy light show from all the carnival rides, and the sounds of the lacrima games were an amazing change of scenery. His mind would wander while walking through the carnival. Some seemed to outright avoid him, yet others saw little to no hostility as he was eyeing the lacrima games.

Though as he approached one to gaze upon what sort of genre it was, all the games had that obvious cliche, you're the good guy kind of feel. While it annoyed Raiza, he pulled out a coin to play the game when a voice behind him spoke up.

"whats he doing here? Isn't he wanted by the rune knights? if we call now, he'll be captured"

The voice only annoyed Raiza whom sighed putting the coin in before walking away. A child would immediately take over the free game, which made Raiza smile. Though his objective now was to approach the voice that spoke up. His crimson eyes gazed at the idiot that dared to tempt him while he was having fun. "If I wanted to be  evil... this place would be in ruins. So for the safety of everyone here. I recommend that you keep your mouth shut, and have fun". His words were full of hate, yet... a hint of sadness. This is what he actually missed, missed being able to have fun without violence. Yet it was his path, and he had to reap the seeds that he sow. Such fun was no longer always a possibility, and Raiza understood that.

Despite this, he wandered off, and actually legitly purchased just a normal fizzy drink. The hot sun made it more worth drinking, as he tended to avoid using his energy form, as it'd allow him to actually take in the atmosphere more.

After a very, very long debate with the maid about going to the carnival, Ivy finally got her way and she began skipping through the park. The debate was simply Nunzia, the maid, telling Ivy that she belonged to a dark guild and her going to a public event wouldn't be ideal. Ivy retaliated with simply her tattoo is extremely hard to find, she hasn't made herself known as a dark guild that much, and the only people that would know her are people she's previously seen before, or people who studied the Coming Storms, and even then... who did that? Plus, she WAS a Coming Storm, not anymore. She didn't know why she was kicked off, but she didn't really care. With that logic, the maid just sighed and took Ivy to the carnival. She gave the child some money, and told her to go nuts. The maid then sat on a bench and began reading a book she never got to finish.

Ivy has actually never been to a carnival before, and never even heard of video games. She was shocked when she saw all the lacrima powered games and all the people playing them. The only way that Ivy ever heard of lacrima being used is when they were put into someone's body to give them magical abilities... like she had. It didn't matter, she saw someone leave a game after putting a coin in, and not playing it. Lucky break for her, she thought. She didn't have to spend her money. Ivy quickly took over the game, and took a good 25 seconds to look over the game. There were two pistols, and the screen showed a bunch of zombies. Ivy held the gun in her hand, and started shooting at the screen. One by one the zombies slowly fell, until a giant spider thing killed Ivy because the child didn't know how to kill it. After putting the gun down, Ivy took a moment to observe her surroundings. She saw a group of two people talking, or moreso one person threatening the other. This could be fun...

"What do you have to eat sir?" Ivy sat down next to the man who gave her the free game, and spoke to the man behind the counter. He told her of multiple food products, and after thinking for a bit Ivy decided to get something new. She bought a "Chocolate covered banana" and was surprised when she bit into it ; it was frozen! This surprised the child as her teeth gave her the chilling sensation that occurs when you bite into ice cream. After another bite, she turned to the man next to her.

"What's up sir? You seemed to be mad at that person. Something happen? Did you two fight!? I wanna see that!" Ivy spoke to the man casually, and after being done she took another bite out of her banana.

after all was said and done, Raiza ended up walking away from the man so casually as if the fight never happened, yet now the assumption that rune knights may end up here would just become a hard pressed issue. His mind only wandered for a bit before he was asked a question about if something happened, or if he was fighting with the man. It was an innocent young girl that asked him, well... innocent if you didn't pay attention to her words. Wanting to see a fight? now what sort of dark place was she raised? The questions perked Raiza's attention only slight enough for him to answer.

"So many questions from such a small child. Nothing is 'up' or wrong. No I didn't fight him, and if I were to, it'd not of been very clean. As for something happening..." Raiza sighed, looking the small child in the eyes, his crimson hues accompanied by the black sclera he had showed a twisted sense of change to his body. He was by all rights a narcissistic A-hole, with a dash of socially inappropriate. In other words, he was very blunt, and knew he was blunt, and stayed that way. "I've done things in my past people want me dead for child. That argument was simply a man overstepping their boundaries near me. I've come here for fun after all."

His gaze shifted back to the sky as he leaned back against the table he was sitting on. What he saw was just the simple crystal clear blue sky, yet his mind saw the burning rubble around him, the death of everyone here, including the curious child he had no idea was a dark mage as well. "Evil chooses when and where to be evil, even those who are chaotic and random, make that choice. I will not harm anyone here unless forced to. Anyways... where is your mommy kid? shouldn't you bother them? Whats so interesting about questioning a coming storm anyways?"

This man... This pseudo-demon... Had struck the wrong nerve with Ivy. Bringing up her age in an undermining tone was the worst thing you could do, considering she herself was a full-fledged mage with power and strength to even deal with stronger mages than she, as she has done so before.

However first thing first, he mentioned her "mommy." Honestly, had Ivy never thought of her mother before? Of course she never knew her real parents, whom probably were still loan sharks trying to find their stolen baby. The only parent Ivy has ever known since birth was Rich, that person who didn't care for her, and just made one of his maids care take Ivy. She didn't even know Rich wasn't her real father, but that begged the question, who was her mother? She knew the maid as a mother figure, but always thought of her as a sister. She'd find some answers soon.

Coming back from her small daydream, Ivy's face went dark.

"Maybe I wanted to talk?! Something wrong with that, 'Coming Storm?' I've personally known Coming Storms, not that interesting."

Suddenly the thought popped into her head. The man must've not picked up on her aura of magic, as she had suppressed it in case any light mages were in the area. However now, she decided to leak it. She knew this mage was stronger than herself, but should he want to engage she could probably take him. She didn't want to fight, she wanted to have fun. But first...

"'Evil chooses when and where to be evil, even those who are chaotic and random, make that choice.' That what you said...?" Ivy continued to look at the unknown man, while three blades of wind manifested themselves, and flew at the man at the counter. One by one, they struck him perfectly, until he fell to the ground, bleeding out. Lucky for Ivy, no one else was at the little food tent (likely due to Raiza being there), and anyone that seen the man fall could have written it off as him having a bad fall, as it wasn't distinctly that visible.

Now hopping over the counter, Ivy put her hand into the cooler, and pulled out two chocolate bananas, holding one out to Raiza.

"I could go bother my sister, but id rather talk to you! You're... Okay with that right?"

Playing coy with the girl whom he remembered as a coming storm was all too fun. Lets face it, you didn't survive as a dark mage without getting as much information as possible, and having seen at least one poster about this tiny child as a coming storm was more than enough to have let Raiza have some fun. Yet - he still happened to forget most of that fact while talking to her until she mentioned that she knew some.

"You know coming storms huh? Is that only half the truth? Miss ex-coming storm?" Raiza spoke just slightly before the blades impaled the vendor. It was a shame, Raiza was enjoying the fact that the man seemed to be awestruck there was a dark mage in his establishment sitting next to some young girl. Yeah... if someone didn't think Raiza was about to rape or hurt this young girl, then Raiza wouldn't know what people would be thinking right about now. Though the truth could never be more far. An ex-coming storm that he deliberatly was teasing might just end up a hostile enemy soon enough. Though it mattered not for Raiza.

Especially as a frozen chocolate banana was given to him. Interesting choice of a sweet. "hm...? Thanks" he responded accepted the totally not stolen gift.  "Well that display sure confirmed my suspicions about you. I thought I recognized your face before. Well I'll be damned, someone that young already turned to the life of darkness... a pity really" his words stung himself a bit too, but he could only help but actually enjoy the conversation.

"Sure, we can talk. What do you want to talk about?" about the time he asked this, a black ooze like creature seeped from his body "yeah, go eat it" he whispered just loud enough for Ivy and the pet to hear. Once the order was given, the ooze like thing slithered behind the counter only to return but a few minutes later, done with the meal. No trace of the body left, as it was already dissolved into the creature's strange shapeshifting like body. Though not to be left vulnerable, once it was finished, it retreated back into the fibers of Raiza's magical essence.
