Grim Tidings, and yet New Beginnings.

It wasn't hard to find the West Fiore Trading Company's main lobby, the difficulty was getting there. Using the leggings of the Azure Sky, I walked across ocean to find the place, and made my trip to Divide Island for this mortal man's job purely professional. I stepped onto the stony shore in between the divide part of Divide Island's name, and made my way onto their docks. I past by the sailors and merchants who looked on at me with a bemused expression on their faces as I walked up the stairs beyond them. I made my way to their lobby,around the side of the building, and entered the lobby, red fabric ruffling and fluttering in the slight ocean breeze. The interior was nice, pristine, and chilled for those that still felt things like that. I walked through the lobby, to more bemused expressions, and asked the lobby worker: "Excuse me. I found a flier on my way here, and it advertised a job opening with your company, the West Fiore Trading Company. I am here to present myself before an employer from you company. I understand that you might not be able to retrieve a representative at this moment, and I shall wait upon your time. Thank you for your time, and I ask you to bring forth your hiring representative. I'll seat myself within your lobby, if you don't mind." Forthwith, I turned myself and seated myself upon one of their lobby chairs, and waited for someone to come forth.

Clothes worn:

Ruvel would have walked in just afterwards wearing a smart white suit with blue and gold trimming, his black hair with golden streaks normally styled to look somewhat messy looked neat, within his hands he hand he held papers walking toward the reception desk. To ask him what he had in his hand wouldn't have meant much given the youth couldn't read without the help of his summons but he had managed to do what was asked of him and secure a trade route to one of the coastal cities of Galuna island that had been holding out for a better deal but he managed to get them to see things more in the way of the guild and got a better deal than expected. He however would refuse to go into detail on how he managed to pull off such a thing without intimidation after all he was there as an ambassador for the trading company not as a member of the other side of their coin.

He stopped for a moment seeing the stranger his amber eyes still glowing dully as he inspected the new comer silently sniffing at the air for a moment 'She smells of death' he commented to his summons. He was use to the smell of death and decay due to his past though he had kept that part of himself hidden, not that he spoke much about before he was recruited in thanks to his summons. 'She may work with the dead or that may be where he magic lies' Shindara commented 'Or she might be a warrior or an assassin kid' Barthenz added, he knew that they both had valid points and so thought nothing more on the matter as he walked up and handed in the report and agreement. He had no idea which of his summons had wrote the report so had no idea in which language it had ended up in, luckily it seemed as if they had a good translator though they normally cursed at Ruvel's reports as they were always highly detailed.

'Go and see what the young lady wants' Edaenz said almost seemingly pushing the youth towards the idea but he shook his head to it, he was still awkward around the guild members and even to Cirven who had himself taken him under his wing. 'She has a point, you are a member of this guild and even if you can't do anything you could direct her to someone that can' Neru said calmly making him sigh knowing he wasn't going to win this 'Fine, I'll do it but if things go badly it's your fault for pushing' he stated to them before walking over his hand going to his chest and he bowed at the waist slightly not enough that he was lowering himself as he had promised himself that was never going to happen ever again but enough to be curtious to her "Hello, my name is Ruvel and I'm a member of The Fiore Trading Company. Is there anything I can help you with miss?" his tone was gentle as he spoke to her.

"Yes, messer." I stood from my seat, and smoothed out my clothes, before sinking into a low curtsy. "Excuse my entrance, but my name is Aera Tylidae. I came here seeking work, and your fliers posted around Fiore caught my eye. I came here to present myself to your hiring representative, in hopes of receiving work among the mo-, masses. Apologies, the word caught in my throat for but a moment." I rose out of the curtzy and looked him in the eye. "I think a good thing to note is my magic, when joining a guild, but it's rather... special, and would rather not speak of it. However, if we go somewhere with a lesser amount of people, then I'll show you. I looked at them, almost expectantly, as I waited for how they'd respond.

Ruvel remained quiet listening to the other, he still smelt the stench of decay on her but it didn't phase him in any way. Once she finished explaining the reason she was there. "Flyers about a job?" he seemed confused but then he had been on assignment for a while so had no idea what had happened while he was gone. He moved his hand to the back of his head as he thought of the best thing to do as he was relatively new to the guild himself. "Um... I don't see any issue with it since the company is always looking for new members I think" he seemed uncertain but again that was most likely because he had never done this kind of thing before. 'Where are your manners?' Aelona scolded her summoner 'I wasn't raised with them, I was more concerned with breathing without pain' he said right back to her his voice showing not to push him on such a thing. "It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Tylidae" he finally said realising he should have replied that way to begin with.

"You're a mage?" he said remembering what she said about having magic "We have many mages ranging with different variants of strangeness" he said with a charming smile 'Like yours for example' Ordhabbi snickered making Ruvel unknowingly roll his eyes 'My magic isn't strange, some of those I have contracts with on the other hand' he stated back to her making the fire demoness growl not expecting the come back from the normally passive youth, if it hadn't been for the fact that he was on a ship for the last three weeks then he likely would have been but as he had been awake the whole three weeks given he was an officer within the ship he was in no mood for snarky remarks. "No one here will push you into talking about things you don't want to, one of the nice things about being part of the trading company" he said honestly glad that he hadn't been forced to go into his past by anyone though it made him that much more of an enigma. "Perhaps the captain or the quartermaster are around, I'm more than happy to accompany you in the hopes to find one or both of them" he offered.

I curtsy once more, before rising again, meeting their eyes. I whispered a quick thanks and waited to be shown around the HQ with Ruvel, who, seemed to know his way around far better then some of the employees. I kept note of the different paths me and Ruvel took, and I noted the interactions between Ruvel and the other employees. They mainly shook their heads, in refusal or confusion, but a couple pointed our way, and I followed as Ruvel came to a door in the side of the building, with a name on a plaque on the door, one I did not peer the name of the office, prior to Ruvel knocking on the door. I waited with Ruvel, before my patience ran out, and I asked "Pardon, ser. I was wondering who we were coming to see here?"

Ruvel continued to walk giving a polite nod to those he passed, he wanted out of his formal clothing and into something more casual but that didn't seem like it was going to happen any time soon which was more than a little annoying to the youth given now he was playing escort. 'Why not ask her some questions?' Neru said calmly making Ruvel sigh rolling his eyes 'I don't like people butting into my life or past it would be rude of me not to allow them the same curtsy' he commented back 'Then give her some information' Crystal commented. 'If she wanted information she would ask questions' It was times like these he wished he didn't have such magic but he knew if he didn't have his somewhat dysfunctional family speaking to him in such a manner he would be lonely and would likely still be at 'home' not knowing what it was to have the freedoms he had right now.

'Besides I'm trying to find quartermaster Julius or Cirven' he stated back to them 'You know you should do training with him kid' Barthenz added Ruvel let out a frustrated sigh 'We both know how that would go, I am not meant for physical things... my body doesn't allow it, last time we trained you almost killed me' he sounded uncomfortable over the whole suggestion 'To be fair my barbaric brother almost kills everyone he trains, he has no restraint' Crystal interjected making Barthenz growl a little 'At least when battle does come they know how to survive unlike you mages cooped up in a library all day, every day' he snapped back the bickering was starting to give him a headache 'Enough the both of you' he finally told them stopping at the door knocking in the hopes that one if not both Julius and Cirven where at the other side of the door knocking a little his hand going forward as a replica of the file he handed over to the correct department but he still liked giving a copy personally to Cirven. "This is the officers office. Quartermaster Julius and Captain Cirven should be here... I hope" he knew that there was another side of the guild that he couldn't speak of and between the two sides there was a lot to do.

Remus was usually nowhere to be seen when it came to the actual work within the company, it was mainly due to the fact that he got easily bored when it came to working and decided it best to just sleep the day away until his presence was direly needed.

The duo of Mitsumaki and Remus walked along the dock looking around taking in the vast beauty of their surroundings, Mitsumaki scratched the back of her head as her eyes lit up that amber hue. "Rem, why're we working today of all days!" She rolled her eyes and started to float folding her arms together in anger. "Stop tweaking Mitsu, we're only going to make a short appearance anyways. It's the least we can do for how long it took us to complete that mission that lasted months" He emphasized this when he expanded his arms nearly knocking the girl's flight pattern off. Most of the workers below chattered with one another with the occasional mock at some merchant's clothing, Remus chuckled himself at the odd jewels that hung from the man's neck.

"Besides five months can do somethings to you" He sighed as he pointed to his bandaged fists and new haircut. Those long days stretched so far it seemed like eternity and the old Remus Aquila was lost to time, this newer version still held the mentality of it's old shell but still had things that needed getting used to. After a few minutes of helping load and unload a few items the pair both got tired and instead of resting on the sand like usual Mitsumaki had the idea of going to cool off in the larger cabin of both Cirven and Julius to which Remus approved of. It took them a while remembering where to go and before long the found the door and the two kicked off their clothes and went into complete relaxation.

A good three hours moved on before knocking sounds invaded the latter's dreams awaking him from his slumber, Remus placed his white shirt over his body leaving his chest and abs to show instead of buttoning them up. The boy strolled to the door and stretched before opening it up. "How can I help?" He mumbled groggily still rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Boy would this be a story to tell.

Two people introduced themselves, one being a... Remus, I think he said? Alongside them, was an exec. named Julius, like the emperor of old. He seemed a nice sort, and the three got along amicably, if not on friendly terms. However, the VP said something I had to log inside my head instantly, causing suspicion in my mind to rise about the... legitimacy of this company. I honestly didn't care if the guild was legit, since I didn't plan to get too attached to anyone here anyhow. I waited until the conversations died down a bit between these mortals, and I spoke to the VP, curtsying. "Excuse me, ser. I am looking for a job, and it would please me to find one here. However, I noted something odd about your words. You said something about not relating you to a group of pirates. While you said something opposing to the argument you presented, the only thing that triggered any sort of response of that sort, including anything said regarding "pirates" was "quartermaster", and that usually includes paramilitary groups like an organized militant units. Pirates excluded. So, is my intuition leading me wrong? Or are you just a bit of an airhead? I apologize if I sound rude, but that seems a bit circumspect." I leveled my eyes at the VP, looking at them expectantly.

Ruvel blinked hearing a voice his hand going to his chest as he leaned forward in his normal manner just a little to show respect to the veteran that had open the door, but as he was about to open his mouth to ask who he was given he had never seen the other before it seemed the answer had been given to him. He brought his hand down feeling bad given that he seemed to have woken the other up "I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to wake you... but then again I didn't think someone would be asleep in an office" he said honestly. He was about to ask if he knew where Cirven or Julius was when he heard Julius's voice behind him telling him not to confuse Aera by using naval terms that made them sound like pirates making him sigh a little before turning around and placing his hand on his chest politely bowing to Julius slightly. "Good afternoon Mr. Seas, I hope today finds you well." he said politely as he straightened.

Hearing the other telling him off sighed for a moment "Pardon my miswording sir, I've just spent three months on a trade assignment and most of it being trapped on a ship where there was a captain and a quartermaster" he seemed somewhat embarrassed that he had made the mistake but in honesty he knew he made none given the guilds other activities; even if he had made a mistake he wouldn't have felt embarrassed but would have pretended none the less. He remembered how he got on the ship and that was by his summon Endema walking past him and pulling him on by his ear knowing just how hesitant he was about restrictions on his freedoms. Turning to Aera hearing her words he seemed genuinely surprised by her words "We are merchants and traders Miss Tylidae, and as such we are prone to being attacked by pirates and other less than savoury people so we have to protect ourselves thus we have a quartermaster on ships as you can imagine" he said his slightly glowing amber eyes going to Julius believing that he could have just screwed the pooch so to speak.

He moved glowing amber orbs towards Julius studying him for a short moment "I am not meaning to be rude Mr. Seas but have you been overworking yourself again?" he asked hoping he would say yes so that the whole conversation could be put to rest quickly. His eyes going back to Aera "It's interesting that you ask for a job in one breath and insult your potential employer in your next." he said scratching his cheek a nervous smile on his face. He then got back to the request that had been given to him and groaned internally, such tasks where impossible for him given his limitations, even his reports where done by his summons. Opening the file in his hand he blinked knowing that either Shindara or Amuul had written it due to the ink used 'Do they have anyone here that can read the language of the void?' he asked himself closing the file 'This is going to be fun' he sighed looking back at Julius "I have a report to give to the president then might I change, rest and eat before attempting to help sir?" he requested, but then he would rather go through training if he had to be honest with himself.

Seeing two new faces he had never seen before put the lad on high alert, what if these were secretaries sent by Cirven to survey the boy. The feeling of surprise started to calm as he realized that there would've been no way his captain could possibly have foreseen Remus' arrival. "No...no it's fine kid. I was just keeping the room's Feng Shui in order you see" He yawned and rubbed his eyes again looking back to see Mitsumaki snoring on the oak table sprawled across pieces of paper and figurines dotted around. The girl next to him was even more startling, taking her appearance was something he had never really seen before but then again Fiore had all sorts of different looks passed on from one another so he ignored it, however something did feel off about her.

Then a familiar face forged next to the amber eyed boy, Julius Seas. Partner and commander. Just as Remus was about to embrace his fellow pirate he was handed a handful of sheets with various notes and plans on them, this was just what he had wanted to avoid today doing little to no work as possible but it seemed as if fate tipped the balance. Holding the papers in his free hand behind him the flame princess herself was groggily awakening and took the sheets from his hand in turn giving Remus a small unexpected fright, Mitsumaki leaned on the door frame so she was besides the white haired pirate.

Ruvel...the name Julius spoke as he looked at the boy, Remus wondered why he wasn't introduced to him before as he assumed Ruvel held some sort of role when it came to the company and it's objectives. All this talk about Captains and Quartermasters was going over the latter's head as he conversed with his companion. "What's on the menu for today, I feel like it's been hours" Remus huffed folding his arms together looking up at the ceiling. "Anything at all, I could kill for a nice, warm, thick piece of steak. Grilled to perfection" Mitsu's mouth started watering in that comical fashion that would be seen on most cartoons and such. Remus chuckled as he rubbed her head and leaned down to whisper in her ear. "If we don't get something to eat soon, I'll release you from your chains" He said in a whimsical manner standing back up to look at the three before him.

"In any case Jules, what do you want us to do with these papers? In all honesty it's best you hand these back to Ruvel over there and we can give her the tour she's been wanting for. Especially considering Cirv's not back yet" Remus blinked lazily with little emotion in his voice waiting for the executive decision. Besides. It was best to get to know all the incoming new blood, in the case they were wanting more from the company.

I knew he would react this... explosively. Those who shout the loudest usually were found either at the pinnacle of the pile, close to it, or at the bottom. Any how, he seemed a bit angered by my comment, alongside Ruvel with a surprisingly adept response, if a bit transparent that they didn't know how to respond. I held a hand to Ruvel for a moment, and looked quizzically at the newcomer to our little conversational foray, the lack of honest answers left me the challenge to confirm my suspicions through the next few sentences. "Hmm... I see you're that type of person. I meant no ill will, ser. I usually test a person in charge to see how they react to pressure and outward stresses, including verbatim. From there, I see what they'd be like as a person in a managerial position through conversation. However, Ruvel's transparent excuses left my suspicions inflamed even further, since usual naval rule is to have several galleys or galleons as escort ships to make sure product are kept safe against raids. Most trading ships are civilian class ships. However, Pirates, to use an example you readily gave, often have cover businesses that entail with the seas, to give those who work under the flag of pirates a legal excuse for being on the seas. Either that, or hide away, like rats of the sea. Far away from the civilizations that they raid upon. You'd reach both of these criteria with this company, being on an island, while not too shady, still isolates other routes of travel to normal folk. You also have naval trading superiority, being a rather large trading and shipping companies. That covers the knowledge upon where your targets would be on the sea, due to having to allocate differing route information to other trading companies, if a bit rough around the edges, this information. Oh, and you spoke of why you should hire me? Well, here's a couple: I'm pretty strong, I'm fearless in battle, and I'm pretty close to cracking whatever cover you concocted for this ruse of yours. I'm also really good at sussing out lies, finding misinformation, things that seem out of place, and generalities alongside those lines. Intelligence is a blessing to those who have the wisdom of time on their side. My knowledge is roundabout, for certain, but I know you seem to run two businesses, due to your generally frustrated exterior calm, and your natural physique seems unfitting for one who sits around pushing papers all day, alongside your skin, which has seen some time in the sun. How about you tell this to me, mortal:" My red eye flashed, and the other iris flashed red for a moment, noting the change from my words, to Mz. Hyde's "Why do you hide? Are you afraid of the backlash, or is it for monetary reasons? Either suit me fine, just a simple curiosity from me. Also, if I haven't yet apologized for the slights I inflict and or inflicted, I do so now: I apologize for any slights unto your character." We then turned my head to face Ruvel, and Mz. Hyde and I looked on at him for but a moment, our curiosity racing and pacing underneath our skin, trying to understand them, before saying: "Apologies Ruvel, I didn't mean to be rude, I just like to... get my understandings about people, if you understand. As for the insulting, that was just a... what is the phrase? Oh, yes. A ruse, something to illicit reaction. It's how I pull kernels of truth from people without asking them directly about what they hide behind their facades. A bit roundabout, but it gets truths out of people faster then asking them directly. However, I must give this company a certain amount of credit, and a slight debunking to my previous arguments from just a moment ago, so if you wouldn't mind." before their response, Mz Hyde turned back to this... Julius? And spoke lightly, yet diplomatically, saying: "I know every company operates under their own rules and quirks, but the company with which I stand and apply for has the Modus Operandi of a maritime pirate organizations. So: before I go and make misinformation about the West Fiore Trading Company public, how about you enlighten me: Are you pirates? If so, I'm willing to lend a hand. I'm willing and able to keep a secret, and you don't have to worry about anyone else hearing this. I'll fight whoever and whatever you want, and without question, and I can hide among mortals well enough, acting as one of them so long as to receive their request and comply with them. So? Where would you three like to go from here, because softie and I have things to do otherwise, and we wouldn't mind letting the rumor that you all are pirates, even if baseless. We don't fear imprisonment, we don't fear death, and the only thing we fear is ourselves. What would you like to happen? I could walk out, or you could hire me for my... resourcefulness. Either way is fine, but entirely up to you." Mz. Hyde then gripped our other hand with a slow, sinister feel to them, drawing it out, as the grin on her face became Cheshire-like for a moment.

Mz. Hyde' personality has the words with the most red to them. Some of the purple is a combination of the two, exempting the lighter purples, which is the Original personality.

The new applicant and the others had all been speaking to each other without even noticing the fact that the shadow under Julius had some peculiarities to it. It was not shown fully until later when the new applicant started to speak in a different, darker tone where she was talking to the VP as if she knew everything going on because of the combined slip up earlier with Ruvel and Julius trying to clear it up. Julius's shadow had taken the form of a pointed ear man suddenly during this time and a voice spoke out from it. "You don't fear death at all, huh? Sounds like you know what its like to kill and forget." The voice of the CEO of the West Fiore Trading Company came out from the shadow just before his entire body appeared out from it. He wore a black long sleeved shirt with a white vest, black pants, white gloves and white shoes. His red left eye and blue right eyed glared at the woman who brought herself to their establishment for a job. His usual long purple hair was cut short now which had become the way he liked having it again.

"Maybe I should test your worth to us then, huh?" The CEO pulled out a lacrima from out of his pants pocket and placed it next to the wall after clicking the top of the object. The wall it sat next to changed into a door suddenly. "Not many have seen this place so feel a bit special about seeing it." He spoke out as his hand grasped around the knob of it and then he swung it open showing a white empty room with a small house-like structure in the center. "I will let you show me your worth here if you want, otherwise you can leave and try to make your false accusations about the organization I lead." Cirven didn't wait for the woman to reply with a response and walked into the room. "Either way, I am going in to train. Juls, watch this door and don't let anyone in. I'd rather not scare away any new contacts who are lost and looking for the bathroom." He loosened his tie as he walked in and started to ready himself with some stretching as he waited.

Ruvel sighed he knew he should have just handed in his paperwork and headed back to his resting area, but his summons had to insist that he interact and help 'You know I blame you for this right' he sighed his hand going to his head as he still felt dizzy from his sickness. 'You need to rest Ruvel' Aelona said a slight tone of concern in her voice 'Perhaps, you should go home...' Ordhabbi mentioned Ruvel flinched to that suggestion "Never, and no one is going to make me do it" he whispered to himself his hands clenching 'Stop being as stubborn as that muscle bound idiot, they have what you need' she continued snickering knowing how much the mere thought of returning to that place scared him him to his very core. 'You aren't the one they used as a pin cushion, you aren't the one they tortured and abused day and night, you aren't the one they used for entertainment Ordhabbi so until you experience what I have you can shut up with the laughing or I will personally make you feel everything I have' his tone was cold as he spoke to her making her snickering stop as she had never been spoken to in such a way by him before and it made her worry.

Ruvel placed his hand to his left eye unknowing that it's colour was flickering he just felt piercing pain and bright light within it almost like it was a burning sensation, this was something he hadn't felt before and it concerned him. His good eye went to Julius as he was spoken to "I didn't mean to be rude sir, I do apologise for my actions..." he was struggling especially now but was holding it together than he normally would have. "I am not quite feeling myself, however, it is true is it not that it's bad etiquette for a person to ask for something then insult in the same breath" he wasn't trying to be difficult, he was just brought up in a certain way and though the only one who knew vaguely what he had been through was the owner and captain of the two sides of the coin. "I will mind my own and leave you to it, however, I am going to rest... I dislike being kept on a ship for weeks on end and having to remain awake." he said honestly which was odd given his now professions but that was more to do with his summons.

He was about to say something to the man in the room as he had no idea what he was talking about when he spoke of Feng Shui and handing him back papers his eyes going to the report he had yet to hand over "not my papers, my report is still in my hands" he said his amber eye going to Aera as she spoke in a combination of two separate voices and then seemingly a combined one. He had seen it before with people whom where forced into possessions and such, the whole thing didn't exactly scare him but it was something he wasn't overly keen on either. It was then when he heard the thread that he expected hell to break loose as it placed everyone in extreme danger and he wasn't far off it seemed as Julius's shadow seemed to move as if it had a mind of it's own. On seeing Cirven he closed the eye underneath his hand before bringing it down to his chest and lowering a little briefly before putting his hand back over his eye. He normally got a slap to the back of his head from doing such an action but he was use to such things as a sign of respect not as a sign of servitude he refused to bow to anyone again that was for damn sure.

"Nice to see you with short hair again sir" he said he was about to hold out his report when Cirven started to talk making him pause 'I knew it' he thought to himself, he knew Cirven would never allow anyone to threaten the guild or the company. Even if their were people within the company who knew nothing of the guild this place was one giant family and to threaten one was to threaten them all. He watched as the handle was placed on the wall 'The training hall from hell' he thought 'It's so fun to spar with him you know' Barthenz sounded happy 'Don't think it's for you this time, maybe later I'll ask for you but I need to rest before doing any summoning' he said to his warrior summon "Barthenz wants to spar later sir" he said just before the other entered. His eye looking at the three before turning to walk off.

Ah, the Captain. Obviously pissed, he made some sort of door with a magic key -thing, she said something about knowing how to kill and forget. Mz. Hyde broke into a wide, animal grin, before we both spoke, saying lightly, and yet ferally: "We never kill and forget. We can't," before following the captain in through the door. I left Mz. Hyde in control of combat, so I lent them the control of our body, which they accepted with glee. They waited as the captain  to turn around and get ready before saying the dangerous words I knew too well, a prismatic fog dropping out of our mouths: "I am the Bird of Hermes, eating my own wing... to keep... my self tame." Our form then quivered, becoming a blood being. "Well, I think I should bring out the big guns. What do you think?" Mz. Hyde becoming a shadow as well, and fading against the walls. We were visible in our form, in this white room, but right now, I was difficult to hit. I pulled my form from the wall behind the Captain of this guild, extending three blood tendrils from my back, and made the Spear of Mortal Pain: Gae Bulg. I used one of the tendrils to throw Gae Bulg at the Captain, before disappearing into the floor again. I then used that Shadow Form to get up in the Center of the room, and from a single drop of blood, I made my tidal wave extend forth, raging corpses in the blood stretching forth to tear the captain asunder.

"Tell the big guy that I'll be ready when he is ready and thanks for your hard work Ruvel and everyone else. This should only take a short amount of time." He called out to the members of his organization as the door closed behind his new opponent. He continued to stretch as she spoke to him. It was a way for him to seem like he was wide open and to test the new girl to see if she would attack him with his back turned. She didn't attack at all until he turned around and before that she spoke some type of ominous phrase. "That was nice of you to wait for me." His words seemed to go onto silent ears as the woman morphed herself into a shadow something he was somewhat familiar with his own magic. He pulled out two of the knives around his waist that were hidden under his vest and waited for her attack. She quickly moved towards him where he waited and placed herself behind him on the wall where she started her assault. He watched as blood tendrils came from her creating a spear and then chucking it towards him which he jumped out of the way of leaving it to stab into the ground where he last was. "Somewhat quick there. I'm guessing you are using that shadow form as a sort of defense against me? I wonder what weaknesses it has..." He spoke out loud as she continued her assault towards him by moving to the ceiling of the small room they were in and forming a tidal wave of gore and bodies to land on top of him. "Hmm... Weird attacks." His body suddenly changed with sparks of black electricity raging across his body as he threw one of his knives to the outside of the house-like area that was a completely open room. His body then morphed into black electricity itself and quickly made it's way to the knife he had thrown where he appeared again in a physical-like form once near it and with the knife in his hand again.

"My turn, right?" The devil's right arm suddenly was enveloped in a raging black electricity that tore into the ground leaving streaks of it cut through by the strands of lightning that came off of it. He then placed his hand out towards where his opponent was and  as he did a giant claw made of black lightning flew out from him and cutting its way through the house-like area where the woman was.

Rage. Aggravation. A tad bit of fear sparked itself within us, causing Mz. Hyde to react in the only way they knew: attack. Mz. Hyde screamed out in frustration, and charged into what seemed to be a black lightning claw, taking all of the damage that wasn't mitigated by our form. We were little more then a blood being, our physical body deteriorating to the point of which we could no longer keep our form human in shape, letting our body fall into a pool of blood. Mz. Hyde still morphed our blood form forwards, lunging out with reforming, then deteriorating blood limbs that dragged us every closer to our goal of this Captain of a guild we hardly understood, just bluffed our way into this mess, hoping to find some work before our reserves ran dry. Now, however, because of my big mouth, and Mz. Hyde's irreparable sense of bloodlust, we may have found our end. We took up our form at last, a few feet from the captain, rushed forward, hugged him and whispered in their ear: "Alas,
Babylon."and we tilted our heads back, and felt the oppressive darkness crash overhead, obliterating all but a small fraction of our body, leaving us a pool of glowing crimson blood, and damaging the Captain. Mz. Hyde laughed, and as we met in the space of our mind, we congratulated ourselves on at least damaging the captain. We then took to rest, closing our eyes for what felt like a long while.

(For all intents and purposes, this character is unconscious, and is vulnerable to attack. This is now up to you Cirven. Peace!)

The CEO could feel the damage he had caused to the possible new recruit and then saw how much he did when she revealed herself from out of the destruction he had caused. Her body seemed to be damaged somehow by his attack and even though she was in a lot of pain she made her way to him. He could feel her want to hit him and hurt him but at the same time could see her body was not going to keep up with her desires. There was something about what she was doing that made the devil do something that he would not usually do at all.

Maybe it was his pride and wanting to show that he could take a blow from her or maybe it was the pride she showed to him that she just wanted to get her attack in and hit him but he let the girl wrap herself around him and chant out the words 'Alas, Babylon'. Dark energy swirled all around the girl and him damaging his body for a time. After the attack, he would watch her body slip down to the ground into a puddle of gore. He knew that she would come out of it at some point but with how her body was during her last attack she would probably be out for a chunk of time.

He would train his body through attacking the air and letting off blasts of electricity as he waited for her to wake up. He would inform her that she would be allowed to join them as well as tell her about Black Sails when she woke up. He felt that he could trust her with the information because of what he felt in her through their battle. It was up to her to join or not but he would not tell her about Black Sails unless she joined them. It was  simple matter really but one that he wanted to make sure went well.
