[Nexus] Inside 27

[AmberVael]

[Pale Bride]

[Cabin]

With my magic, I am capable of siphoning such qualities away from creatures, and preserving them for others. How to use and receive each is unique to the desire of the buyer. An emotion might be stored in a bottle, and when drunk it would allow someone to feel it for a time.
The figure stands and moves over to some piece of furniture... a shelf, perhaps?
I can do far more than that, however.

[Lower Deck]

"I see. I cannot say that our price would be less expensive, but we are not so picky when it comes to how you would pay. If it would appeal to you, you could pay in another manner."
The woman in white says.
"I feel though that there may be other offers we could make you that might suit your purpose which would be far simpler to accomplish, but I do not have knowledge enough to offer them. You would need to speak to the captain."

[Deck]

Magnio will not find it difficult to get aboard the Pale Bride, but will not clearly see anyone to speak to, except the black clad sailors who move silently about their work, not looking at him at all.

[Gullara]

[Pale Bride]

"Oh?" Nite says and stands himself. "And what more can you do?" He walks closer to her.

[Shadowcaller]

[Pale Bride - Below Deck]

Cessie raises an eyebrow "Alright... I'll hear with the captain then. Thank you for your help." She tells the woman as she leaves the decks below to meet up with the captain.

[Pale Bride - Captains Cabin]

The mage carefully knocks on the door and waits for someone to acknowledged her or open it.

[lord pringle]

[Vampire Bakery]

Alysha frowns a little.

Oh...well, that doesn't mean he's dead. He could have lived.

He was screaming for his life.

[KerfuffleMach2]

[Vampire Bakery]

...maybe somebody else helped him?

She's trying to be optimistic here.

[AmberVael]

[Pale Bride, Cabin]

Hold for a moment, we have a guest.
Replies the figure, as Cessie knocks on the door, moving to answer it.

Cessie will find the door opening for her, and the strange, hazy and uncertain scene that Nite has found himself in will display itself to her. Nite stands out in clear contrast amidst the blurred scene before her.

What is it you have come for?
The figure asks Cessie.

[Gullara]

[Pale Bride - Cabin]

"Very well," he says as she goes to the door.

[The Bushranger]

[Bakery]

Y-y-yeah. Claire smiles back. Holo!Claire gives her a brownie.

And it's at this point that Mikani undeadtimes! Waving at Alysha.

[lord pringle]

Then Mikani should see the scry fail.

[The Bushranger]

[Bakery]

She was deadtimed during that.

So she quietly eats her brownie, and wonders what she missed...

[Rae Artemi]

[Red Zone-Slums]

Unhinged Rae is there, whistling happily as he looks for someone to rile up. After that he's going to tear out their heart, of course, but still. Of course, a hero is probably going to try to stop- Oh, look, an NPC! How fun!

[Gimliggamer]

[Red Zone/Slums]
Hayden and (presumably) Crae pop into existence somewhere near Unhinged Rae in the slums. Hayden searches around for Unhinged Rae.

[Rae Artemi]

[Red Zone-Slums]

He shouldn't be hard to find what with his happy whistling as he scares the life out of that poor NPC. Literally.

Hmm, fear tastes sour, but it's a good sour...

And yeah, Crae followed.

[Gimliggamer]

[Red Zone/Slums]

Hayden shoots a large blast of red ergy at Unhinged Rae. "A sour you won't taste anymore."

[Rae Artemi]

[Red Zone-Slums]

Ooh, another spicy one, I like that.

Unhinged Rae says, smiling his evil smile. He waves his hand and... nothing happens. He takes the blast in the chest and is knocked back onto the man he just killed.

Oh and you brought little Crae too! How fun!

He stands up and starts walking toward Hayden, his wings going through their usual process as they come out, except much bloodier. He's still smiling.

[Gimliggamer]

Red Zone/Slums

A red Greatsword appears in Hayden's hand as he shoots Unhinge Rae again. "You're not going to hurt anyone anymore."

[Quincunx]

[Misspelled Cematary]

"Pull!" Minta squeaks, and the new zombie (scraped together from Cematary parts, and thus much drier and prone to flaking than the uncured previous one) heaves on its eviscerated guts, pulling the makeshift rope out of the well. At the other end is a skin bag--no prizes for guessing whose skin was used--and a rotting lidded basket embedded in the glutinous goop of the well. Minta cheers! "YAY I got a prize! C'mon zombie carry that I gotta find someone for this." She reaches for zombie kitty and perches it on her head, with delicacy, if it's permitted, and leads her little troupe of minions out of the Cematary. "How come it's still all misty an' foggy out here nownow?"

[Rae Artemi]

[Red Zone-Slums]

Oh, thats so cute! You think you can stop me!

He says, batting away the red enegy with his own black. He's still walking forward, slowly.

You've got about as much chance to beat me as you had to save Rae's life. And what were you doing then? Oh, that's right, you were sitting in a space station doing nothing!

[Gimliggamer]

Red Zone/Slums

"F(ork). You." Hayden says, charging at Unhinged Rae with his greatsword.

[Rae Artemi]

[Red Zone-Slums]

Oh yeah, feed the fire. Your heart is gonna be perfectly cooked when I'm done with you.

Unhinged Rae parries the sword with a perfectly simple black dagger.

[Gimliggamer]

[Red Zone/Slums]

"I don't care. You. Are. Going. To die." Hayden says, stepping back and thrusting at at Unhinge Rae, the greatsword morphing into a longsword.

[Rae Artemi]

[Red Zone-Slums]

Already done, Hayden.

He says, turning the dagger into a rapier. Parry, backstep, thrust.

[Gimliggamer]

[Red Zone/Slums]

"And stay down." Hayden says, his longsword transforming into an identical rapier.

[Rae Artemi]

[Red Zone-Slums]

Oh, that's the kicker, isn't it? Tell me though, if Rae and Emily couldn't put me down, what makes you think you can?

He says, sliding at Hayden and thrusting up at his chest.

[Gimliggamer]

[Red Zone/Slums]

"Because I hate you. I have no ties to you. They did." Hayden says, sidestepping the thrust, the blow cutting the side of his arm. The rapier transforms into a mace and Hayden swings it at Unhinged Rae's head.

[Rae Artemi]

[Red Zone-Slums]

Unhinged Rae laughs as the mace hits him. Crunch goes his skull.

You really think that's how things work? I tormented Rae from the time he was eight years old until we were split. You think he didn't hate me? He blew a hole large enough to shove you through in my torso! And look, I'm still here.

He reaches out to grab Hayden's arm, moving surprisingly quickly.

You're small time.

[Gimliggamer]

[Red Zone/Slums]

"You're not me though. You are a part of Rae." Hayden says, his arm getting grabbed as he aims a kick at Unhinged Rae's face.

[Rae Artemi]

[Red Zone-Slums]

Correction, I was a part of him.

He says, lunging in to bite Hayden's arm and throwing up his free arm to block the kick.

[Gimliggamer]

Hayden drops the mace as he is bitten, the mace forming into a red rope and slithering around Unhinged Rae's neck, attempting to choke him.

[Rae Artemi]

[Red Zone-Slums]

The rope is wrapped around his neck and he's smiling and laughing uncontrollably. He points his ring up, and text appears above it.

I don't need air, idiot. I'm an undead killing machine! And you know the best part? Soon you will be too! Either that or you'll have to find someone to kill you. Good luck!
