[The feed opens in darkness. Pitch black. There were no movements visible nor sounds audible. Soon there were grey swirls pushing against the feed which soon revealed a very foggy setting. The borders of old houses can now be seen, but it was simply too dark to identify the location. The iron streetlamps were sparsely spread throughout what seemed to be an old cobblestone street. These lamps barely lit the foggy horizon but showed the complete lack of citizens roaming the streets.]

[A few moments later, the streetlamps flickered rapidly - alarming the people of an impending danger. Then there was a loud thud upon the streets, which reduced the street into rubble and dust. The loud exploding sound upon something or someone's impact shook the very ground and caused ravens surrounding the scene to go wild.

In the middle of all the chaos was a lone figure. His body was wrapped with the darkest linen and blackest leather. Behind him were four powerful ebony wings which were now slowly folding into his back. Silver eyes examining the immediate horizon before he started moving once more. Then the feed turns pitch black once more.]

****

[The feed turns on a few moments later, now facing a sizable old mansion. Its walls were fed on by mounds of ivy and the gates creaked eerily upon opening. The feed slowly made its way closer to the front door.

A silver-haired wolf prevented the further movement of the feed closer to the house. There was a werewolf gnashing its sharp teeth towards the feed as if trying to protect its territory.]

Quiet you mongrel!

[The voice was soft but resonated with authority. Upon the order the werewolf cowered towards the floor. The feed lowered, as if following the movement of a person kneeling down. A leather glove reached for its head and petted it. The large wooden door opened behind the werewolf and revealed a dusty old mansion. It seemed to be habitable with a decent amount of ornate furniture.

Then there was an abrupt movement which led to the feed falling upon the floor. It revealed the face of a man with half his face partially covered by a black leather mask. His left eye showing off a crude incision crossing both his lids. An incision which seemed new and untreated.]

Didn't know I left you on.

[His voice was muffled by the mask on his face, but it was a lot lighter than it was earlier. His eyes crinkling, as if smiling. A habit he's learned during the time he was Kira. There was no need to gain unnecessary attention. Not in a world which he wasn't sure had none of his influence.]

I hope I didn't scare any of you. I'll be living here from now on it seems. Let's get along.

[Then the feed ends once more.]

((ooc: This is one of the old mansions in Everglade))

[flamescout]

Like you're one to talk!

[Mr. Stares-A-Lot. No, she's not being subtle. Raye doesn't seem to know what that word means.]

What are you? And what are you doing here?

[beareroflight]

My, my. What a hot temper you have..

[Lucifer quickly disappears in a puff of obsidian smoke and reappears just as quickly behind Raye.]

..little girl.

So many questions, and I don't even know who you are.

[Not that he really cares about knowing her name.]

[flamescout]

[Raye stiffens and spins around, fists clenched. Watch it, buster, she's a black belt. And a hot temper, like he said.]

I asked you first.

[She's still creeped out by the way Mab said her name, she's not going to pass it out so readily anymore.]

[beareroflight]

Not nicely you didn't. And..

[There was a growing menacing grin on his face.]

..what about my nature? What's it to you?

[flamescout]

I'll save niceties for people who deserve it!

[Ordinarily she'd fold her arms, but he's putting her on edge. She practically expects him to sprout fangs and jump at her.]

What's it to me? What a dense question. You're radiating all kinds of nasty vibes, you think I'm just going to ignore that and pretend everything is sunshine and rainbows? Give me a break.

[beareroflight]

Tsk

[He feigned a hurt yet charming expression.]

Oh?

[Lucifer's silver eyes fixes against Raye's dark eyes for a few moments before he grins. He then pulls away with a condescending look on his face.]

You must be a human psychic.

[That's what they call it right?]

[flamescout]

[Raye says nothing to this, her eyes narrowing resentfully. He's digging for information, and she doesn't want to give him more than he needs to know about her. If she thought it would solve the problem, she'd smack him around and call it good. But he's dangerous, that much is obvious. The question is, just HOW dangerous? What should she be prepared for? So she stubbornly stands her ground, glowering at him and waiting to see if he'll say anything else.]

[beareroflight]

[He hides the deed inside his coat and gives the dark-haired woman a cold stare with his tone equally frigid.]

Did I just frighten you, woman?

[flamescout]

Do I look frightened?

[She snaps angrily, fists clenched.]

What do you want? Why are you here?

[beareroflight]

You reek of fear, darling.

[Every action, every minute movement, had Kira's undivided attention.]

Got the deed for my new home. What's it to you?

[flamescout]

I really doubt that.

[Unless he bought something incredibly cheap and rundown and...okay, yeah, that's about half the houses here in Everglade, but she knows he didn't come here just to be a stereotypical suburbanite.]

Are you going to tell the truth?

[beareroflight]

Huh?

Haven't I been telling you the truth since you've been checking me out?

[flamescout]

You haven't told me anything! And I am definitely not checking you out!

[That earns an indignant stomp of her foot. Yeah, she's too angry to be scared.]

[beareroflight]

What were you asking again?

Sure. It's not like you were picturing me butt naked, right?

[flamescout]

Ugh, you're disgusting!

[Even if he weren't radiating loads of bad vibes, her opinion definitely wouldn't improve after a remark like that.]

Tell me why you're here, and why you're giving off so many creepy vibes! And you'd better be straight with me, I'll know if you're lying.

[beareroflight]

I haven't even done anything, love.

[Have a sexy smile and a knowing wink. It's the truth after all. He hasn't done anything yet.]

Why are you talking like my mother?

[If he even had a mother to begin with.]

[flamescout]

[It's the 'yet' that has her on edge. And she has no intention of meeting his mother, if she's anything like him. Either way, it's clear she's not getting anywhere. If she'd managed to transform before showing up, she could start a fight no problem. But there isn't a whole lot she can do now, and she's not sure her ofuda will work. Might give him a nasty shock, though, and it'd almost be worth it to wipe that smirk off his face.]

Look, I know what kind of person you are. I'm warning you not to start any trouble, because I'll be watching!

[beareroflight]

Oh?

[Now, he's interested.]

Is that a threat?

[flamescout]

That's up to you, isn't it?

[Raye glowers sharply.]

We don't exactly need more trouble around here, we've got enough as it stands!

[beareroflight]

Whatever do you mean?

This place seems to be filled with many people playing nice. At least, too nice for my taste.

[flamescout]

So?

[Raye stiffens.]

Tastes like that don't belong here.

[beareroflight]

Oh?

[Cold silver eyes examined the woman before him. There are simply too many girls of this kind in these cities. Was this some sort of post-apocalypse program punishment?]

Says who? Are you telling me you will stop me, woman?

[flamescout]

Maybe. I'm not going to just stand idly by, if that's what you mean, and there are plenty of others out there who would take a far more active stand. So don't go complaining that you weren't warned if you start causing trouble and wind up getting punished for it!

[This is probably a good spot for her to stomp off, she thinks, so she turns to do just that.]

[beareroflight]

As if any of you threaten me.

[This girl had some guts to turn away from Lucifer. Him who all heaven fear and hated.]

You have guts, I'll give you that.

[But does he respect her enough to accept her leave? No.]

[While he spoke, hungry wing-like black shards rose from where she stood. They were made of the darkest and sharpest metal which he fashioned himself. Same weapon he used to kill Metatron. Quickly, the blades reached for her legs, her abdomen and her arms. He made sure vital organs would be avoided while inflicting maximum torment and pain.]

[flamescout]

[The only warning she gets is a sudden spike in the already-high levels of bad vibes. With a yelp, Raye leaps to the side, spinning around to face her attacker while snatching an ofuda from the folds of her blouse.]

You cowardly creep! Take this!

[She dashes at him, aiming to slap the strip of paper on his forehead. Against someone this strong, she doubts it'll do much good. If it DOES succeed in holding him, that'll give her enough time to get away and transform.]
