Unguarded Guardians (IC) Part 2

[MiscChaos]

"Yeah..." Lilia then changes the atmosphere around the asshole, thinning the air around him to slowly suffocate him. "How about you let me out and I don't kill you by suffocation."

[daxtinator396]

"How about you both quit before I knock your skulls together? I`m still mad at you for earlier Sort, if I hear one more cat joke from you I`ll have youcaughing up fur for weeks. Now let her go and we`ll talk this through." He said shoving him away with magic and the ground below Lilia moved menacingly.

(ohho I see watcha did there sort)
Nyx glares angrily at the bartender,
"this sword is not for show, do not try anything stupid"
She kept herself at maximum alertness as she poured herself some sake
Swirling her finger in it to make sure it isn't spiked with anything

[Icaelus]

Mex raised an eyebrow as the girl landed in front of them..and demanded her death in say..fifteen pieces. That was some painful mutilation that would go on there.. She let go of Sort's arm, sighing as she stepped forward.
"So. Someone wants me kill me, knowing full well I can't retaliate because of the death oath I swore on not to harm innocents.."
A circle of light pulsed from under Lilia's feet and a full light barrier encased her. Mex stepped up to it and tapped curiously on the barrier, making a few ripples on the surface of it. And suddenly the air was really thin..even Mex was having a bit of trouble breathing.
"But me in fifteen pieces if you accept, and that guy in eighteen if you decline. Sounds pretty good to me. Hey, Sort. Let's see what she wants.."

[Sortaix]

Sort was highly agitated by now, first a bunch of damn refugees, some bitch demanding his girlfriends death, and now Dax acting up. Mex stopping him was the only thing that kept Sort from causing another nova to quiet everyone down. He let the barrier down allowing the woman to go free.
"alright if you really feel comfortable having an assassin, or at least one of their scouts, who has already declared she and her friends might want you dead to walk around free. By all means I'll let her go free. But considering she is a damn assassin, you know the people that murder people for money, you might want to reconsider letting her go free. And Dax, you never know killing this murderer just might be a good way for you to vent your anger."

But before anything else could be said or done, a loud shriek emitted from not far down the street. The source of the sound was made obvious by the scared looks on peoples faces, as a lone woman made her way down the street. She was naked except for a few tatters of what was once a guard uniform. She was bleeding from a few minor cuts, and much of her body had bruises. It was obvious she had just gotten her ass kicked, and judging by the large amount of semen covering her, her enemies weren't happy with just defeating her. She stumbled her way down the street, barely moving, most likely in a state of shock.

[daxtinator396]

Dax saw the angered look on his face and was a little worried but just decided to say,"She`s an assasin with a conscience. You know how rare they gotta be? Plus politeness can take you far." He says thoughtfully and then hears the shreik. He quickly runs towards the woman anxious to help,"Miss! Which way? What did this to you?" He asks quickly before looking at Sort,"Please heal her wounds so she can speak more freely with us." He asks nicely.

[MiscChaos]

With the barrier gone, Lilia keeps her word and brings the air back to normal. She didn't know about her target's Death Oath. How can someone possibly be evil if they can't kill someone who doesn't deserve it? That and the fact that the target was the main reason the idiot asshole dropped the barrier are two points in her favor. Just when she's about to thank her mark for her intervention, there's the shriek. An injured woman is most important than a stupid asshole, so she looks toward the woman and immediately feels a murderous rage come on. Defeating and killing your enemy is one thing, but violating them? That's several steps too damn far.
She steps toward the woman and attempts to catch her scent on the air so that she can find out just where she came from.

Nyx doesn't get any response from the bartender when she tries to frighten him with her sword. He just takes a step back, before finally asking her.
"Hey, don't get angry at me, I was just wondering where your collar was. No reason to get all pissy."
The bartender then turns back to his bottles of ale and mead. Nyx doesn't detect anything in her sake, and the men were just busy eye-balling her. No one has made any moves so far.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" Kaz squealed, skidding over to the shiny glass display case. Her face rocketed forward, slamming into the glass with a thwick. She gazed cross-eyed with obvious merriment at the gloves beyond the glass, her facial features squished on the glass.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT." she elated in the direction of the shopkeep, fogging the glass with her hot breath.

"These are like, totally the same as my bikini. They must be part of the same set!" she insisted, and then twisted on a heel to face him. She fumbled with the zipper of her shorts for just a moment, sliding them down her thighs to indicate with a finger to her bikini bottom.

"See? They're the same." she pointed out, and then slid her shorts back on, zipping them up before returning to oogling the gloves with her hands on the glass, along with her face.

"What do these like, cost? Cuz I 'totes want 'em." she gabbed, scratching at the glass with a nail. Aww, she really had to have those! Behind her, Tide bobbed around in the air, seeming to share in her excitement.

[Sortaix]

The guy behind the counter looks up from his book casually. He looks bored, except for the fact he is looking Kaz up and down. He spends a few moments ogling her before, he looks back into the shop. After he spies no one else around he says.
"Those are some special gloves the owner got in some kind of a duel a bunch of years ago. He keeps them here as a trophy.Sorry Miss, but they are not for sale."
After the exchange of words a young woman comes walking in. She is a mage of some type, looking around the mageic shop, for some unknown reason.

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

"Why would I need a Collar?"
Drinks the Sake
Ugh professionals are predictable...
She looks around the room
...But the world is full of amateurs
she grumbled to herself

Alcatraz Prison:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The bartender looks Nyx up and down, being rather obvious. The men in the bar are all now staring at her and listening intently.
"So, you don't have a collar. Well I guess that means you are a free woman then. Sorry, just with them building the new slave trading post I expected any woman to come in here to be a slave or something."

[napsii]

"AWWWWWWWWWWWW!" Kaz pouted, slinking onto her butt. She seemed to have been pretty hurt about not getting those absolutely ADORABLE gloves!

She hmph'd, climbing back to her feet. Tide seemed to whistle with disappointment behind her. She grabbed the staff from mid-air, clutching it closer and looking to the other items to alleviate her disappointment...which she seemed to get over pretty fast. Already she was oogling a cool vial of luminescent glowy blue stuff! Oooh!

Her head snapped to the door. Another person had walked in and Kaz automatically decided it was in her best interest to bug the heck out of her. What were they buying? Who were they? SHE HAD TO KNOW!

Skipping over, she folded her hands behind her back and perked up.

"Haii. Whatcha' lookin' fer?" she questioned, bending over and looking up at the woman with a bright grin.

[Icaelus]

Mex gave Sort a smile. It was sweet of him to stand up for her like this, but he should've remembered that he was was dating a mass-murderer...one that could definitely take care of herself, you know? A shriek sounded from a ways down the street, and Mex glanced in the general direction of the sound. A guard, a woman in a tattered excuse of her uniform was unsteadily making her way down the street. Even from this distance, Mex could easily make out that the woman was covered in cuts and bruises..along with a whole mess of semen on her body..
Mex sighed, giving Sort an exasperated look.
"Hey, Mr. Paladin. Need to keep up appearances, you know? Let's get going.."
She took hold of Sort's hand and started walking, trying to lead him to the woman and getting jerked back when he didn't budge. Mex regained her balance and gave Sort a scowl, tugging stubbornly on his hand.

[Sortaix]

Sort did not move, he did however draw his bow and aim it at the woman. His light magic was picking up something it didn't like, and this chick was the cause of it. He walked over to her carefully and stopped short once he was close enough to see her eyes, her bright purple eyes. Sort didn't hesitate he let loose a light arrow, which hit the woman, causing an inhuman shriek as the familiar took on its true, and horrendous form. It hit the ground with a thud and began trying to pull the arrow from its' body. Before it could however, Sort grabbed the creature by the throat and put a dagger of light up to it's throat.
"Who the hell are you familiar, what happened to that woman you were imitating, and where is she?"
Sort yelled in fury as the creature tried to raise its' clawed hands up to protect itself.
"Sssss. I did nothing to her. I merely used her appearance to escape the orcs that killed my master. The woman is still their captive, their toy. I did nothing paladin, I swear to you, I merely took her appearance to escape!"
The creature pleaded as its' midnight black flesh began to emit a dark purple blood. It's spiked tail whipped around as it screeched once more. This in turn caused some of the guards to rush over. They stood by Sort.
"Wait, that thing looked like Captain Merah!"
"Who?"
Sortaix asks.
The guard then responds.
"That thing looked just like our captain, she left with a few soldiers to investigate the rumors of orcs in the area."
Sort looked to the familiar once more before pulling it up with him.
"Alright Familiar, you are coming with me to the guard post, and your going to tell us everything."
With that Sort hauled the Familiar up while the guards got the doors open to their post.

(The woman is Hades character, you will have to wait for her to post.)

[MiscChaos]

Lilia is about to jump Sortaix for shooting the woman, deciding he's an evil man afterall, when the woman devolves into that... thing she's become. "Holy shit." she mutters to herself. The asshole called the thing a familiar and looked into it's eyes before shooting it. Lilia wasn't paying attention to the woman's eyes, so she missed whatever it was he saw, but she makes a note to try it with every person she sees from now on. One doesn't survive her occupation by being stupid.
Curious as to what the hell's going on and still needing to evaluate her mark... wait, her mark! Before she goes anywhere, she turns and gives a quick bow to her target. "Thanks for getting the as... I mean Mr. Paladin to drop his barrier without things having to get violent. I like being civil. I'd like to keep being civil if I could."
With that out of the way, she follows the asshole to the guard post so she can learn what the hell's going on. Captain Merah was nice to her while she worked here after all.

[daxtinator396]

Dax jumped away quickly upon Sort`s accusation knowing he knew what the hell he was talking about and was shocked when she changed into a demonic creature,"Damn... didn`t see that coming." He said incredulous and follows Sort.

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

She cringes
Her childhood was mostly slavery....the temple
"....interesting...."
She takes another drink

[Icaelus]

Mex's crimson eyes widened in surprise as the woman was revealed to be a familiar. And here she was, trying to drag Sort to it..
"Okay..you sure have a knack for finding these familiars, don't you?"
The girl let go of Sort's hand as he strode forward, folding her arms instead and watching as he began his little interrogation of the familiar. Most effective method? Of course on pain of death. Sort didn't usually take no for an answer, and the three words "I don't know" probably didn't exist in his dictionary. Those words were probably replaced by "Please gut me and replace my innards with concrete."
Sort wrapped fingers of steel around the wretched creature's throat and shoved a dagger of light near it's jugular. Effective. The thing sang like a nightingale. Apparently it had been impersonating this "Captain Merah", or so it seemed.
Mex briefly tuned out of Sort's interrogation of the familiar as Lilia spoke to her, thanking her for getting Sort to remove his light barrier.
"It's fine..I suppose it was about time an assassin tracked me down, though. I did raze quite a few villages back then..now..I'm like the Royal Guard's..ugh, pet or something. The death oath I had to swear makes sure that I cannot kill any innocents. It's quite the torture."
She shook her head, sighing as she too stepped into the guard post.

[MiscChaos]

Lilia nods her head at her target's circumstances. It's seeming more and more like she won't have to kill her. After all, the mark may have done a few... horrendous things back in the day, but Lilia's not going condemn her for past sins. The wind doesn't care for what happens yesterday if it doesn't affect it in a major way today after all. As long as she's unable to do any harm today and in the future to those who don't deserve it, Lilia doesn't really have a beef with her. Her asshole of a boyfriend, yes, the mark herself, no.
