A figure stood by the inn, leanin against the wall. His body was fully clad in a strange armor with mesh between the plates. A large helmet resembling a dragon's head sat on his head. Two glowing red dots penetrated the darkness of the helmets eye holes.
On him were two swords, one on his left hip, the other on his back. The cases of the blades were pale blue and gave off a small glimmer as light reflected off of them.
An old man and a small child walked by him. The figure gazed at them and began to follow them. His pace was slow and loud as if he wasn't trying to hide anything. He touched the sword on his left with his right hand and gripped the hilt. With the swiftness of a cat, he drew the blade in a right cut at the old man's neck.
The man quickly turned and caught the strike with his cane. He pushed the blade away and grabbed the knob of the cane. "You shouldn't underestimate the elderly." The old man said as he drew a blade from the cane in a downward arc, sending out a wave,cutting through all in it's path,towards the figure.
The figures eye's flashed as it took in what it saw. The wave hit it full force. A cut appeared on the figure's helmet and it fell in two pieces. The old man stood there astonished that i withstood the attack. Brown hair fell to the figure's shoulders as the helmet fell, Green eye's shown between it's bangs, an evil grin shown on it's face. The figure appeared to be a man, the pale skin giving him a ghostly look. "I'm sorry," The man said, "I never underestimated you, I read you perfectly." The man in armor sheathed his blade and gripped the one on his back, "Tell me, how would it feel to die by your own technique?" The man drew the sword in a downward cut, a wave cut through the air and into the old man.
The old man caughed up blood as a red line formed going right down the center of his body. He fell in two, covering the street in blood. "One down," The man said to himself, "And now another awaits." He walked back to the square, far away from the body and leaned on the inn once again, waiting for another target.

A tired looking Adrian crosses the square in Kalm, carrying with him some of his performace impliments with him. His face is covered by the kaffiya, of which Ashi has wrapped herself in.
He walks to the inn, running some gil through his right hand as he grins, looking to the inn.
"Well, won't be sleeping on the streets tonight! What do you think about that, Ashi?"
With that statement to himself, he approuches the inn.

Grobyc saw Adrian enter then inn as he thought to himself
This man seems to have no life at all.
Grobyc followed Adrian inside, his mesh cloak flowing behind him. He sat at a distant table where he could see the whole pub and kept his eye's on Adrian.
I will get this man when the moment proves right, he seems to give little but one cannot be too sure.

Adrian approuches the bar, setting down his belongings beside the stool as he sits down. He orders a drink and some food, before striking up a lively conversation with a patron beside him.

Grobyc watched intently. A waiter came up to him and asked if he wanted anything. Grobyc turned to the waiter and smiled, "How bout you give me your life you miserable whelp."
Grobyc grabbed the man by the throat and threw him across the room. He pointed his palm at the flying man and an earshattering ring rang throughout the bar.
A black beam enemated from Grobyc's palm, sucking the man's body into it, devouring it into nothingness.

Adrian dives over the bar as the chaotic scene explodes around him, drinks flying through the air as others scatter as well. It pandamonium as scared patrons flee for their lives. Not wanting to stay for long, Adrian slides along the far side of the bar towards a door to a backroom.
"Everyone is always so angry, we just have all the luck, don't we Ashi?"
In the last bit of chaos, Adrian darts through the door into the pubs kitchen.

Grobyc sees Adrian run to the kitchen, "Oh no you don't," He yells, "Get the hell back here!!!."
Grobyc shoots another blast at the kitchen wall and dashes through the hole.
Once in the kitchen, Grobyc draws his swords and Gazes around the kitchen. The heat from the steam and the stoves clouded his infared. "Dammit boy, show yourself!!!" He swings his swords at a stove, the waves from the blades cutting into four pieces.

Adrian hides in a corner, watching the violent individual assualt the stove. He flinches, those blades making him cringe. Desperatly he looks for another exit, a back door. He spots one beside the sinks accross from him, but moving there might expose him to whatever else this madman had. He needed a diversion.
Adrain finds such a diversion, well more of a weapon. Between him and the door is a boiling bot of water, bubbling over now that its unwatched. He smirks and takes Ashi by the midsection. "Sorry girl, whip time."
Adrian springs from his hiding spot, diving forward with Ashi whipping out at the boiling water. Her tail wraps itself around the handle and Adrian uses her as a sling to fling the boiling water at the intruder. In that moment he darts out the door into the back alley, placing a angry Ashi around his neck. He looks around for a moment for a way to escape and decides up is best. He jumps to a wall, jumps from that wall up, then up once more, springing himself off their brick and wood surfaces till he rolls over onto the roof and takes off running.

Grobyc is stunned by the water but hears the foot steps on the roof.
He points his palm towards where Adrian was headed and fires the dark beam in the direction. He jumps through the hole and turns to Adrian, "Why do you run boy?" he asks, his voice menacing and partially machine like.
He points his right handed katana at Adrian, "Do I scare you?" he asked as his voice became lighter and more humorsome. He sheather his sword and reached towards Adrian, "So I really look as harmful as you think?"

Adrian, now caught with his back to the fiend that accosts him, raises his arms in surrender. "All I see, sir, is another one who can't find the value in life. So, why target me, a humble gypsy?"

Grobyc smiled as his palm began to glow, "Because," he began with a sneer, "You give my empire the least benifit, so you must be eliminated." He smiled, "It's ok, I heard that you humans have a myth of a beautiful afterlife, wanna see if it's true?" Groby fires his beam at Adrian, the dark wave sucking in everthing in it's path to nothingness.

Adrian vaults left and dives off the roof, narrowly missing the beam. He lands with a thud onto the street but waists not a moment to quickly duck into another building beside the Inn.
He catches his breath against a wall, petting Ashi. "Real whack job this one..." He mutters to Ashi, looking about for a way to escape his follower. He darts for down a hall towards what he hopes is another exit.

Grobyc is quickly behind Adrian.
There is a crash as an arm comes out of the wall and pulls Adrian through it, "DO YOU THINK YOU CAN RUN FROM ME!?!?!?" Grobyc yells as he drags Adrian by his ankles. "Cause I think your quite stupid for trying."
Grobyc takes one of Adrians legs with both hands and swings him into a brick wall. The wall cracks and chips as he hits it. He then swings Adrian and throws him into the wall, "Don't run!" Grobyc exclaimed, "Stand and fight with the determination all you humans have."

Adrian painfully rises back to his feet, wiping the blood from his lips. "I... don't fight... unless its in the defense of my family or friends." He presses the cloth of his kaffiya against his bleeding mouth. "Pacifism is something that must be foreign to you... so you just going to kill me? For no reason? You must have a real reason, what did you say? '"You give my empire the least benefit, so you must be eliminated'? Or something? Dunno anything about your empire, but it must not have many people under its flag if you just kill everyone you come across."

Grobyc drew his sword and walked up to Adrian, "You give benifit to no one but yourself," He sneered, "You have no place in this world, let alone my empire."
Grobyc gazed at Adrian's snake, "I'll make you fight then." He grabs Ashi and holds the snake in his hannds, tightly holding it so it could do nothing but squirm. "How bout this one, will this get ya?"
Grobyc pushed Ashi against his sword, "With this blade, just a little push and the little snake will be in two." He glared at Adrian, an evil smirk spredding across his face.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you..." Adrian warns, his tone stressing anxiety. "She's a bit feisty."
Ashi stares down at Grobyc, hisses then sprays his face with her venom. In that moment, Adrian draws both his scimitars and in a flash, strikes Grobyc with the blunt side of the blade across his cut. The other blade smacks the arm holding Ashi, right in the elbow. Ashi squirms free and falls into Ashi's blade, slithering quickly down it and into his shirt.
Now without his back against the wall, Ashi bows to the intruder. "Well, I'm must be going for I have a performance in the morning. I wish you the best of luck with your desolate empire!" Ashi turns and flees again, quickly, like a rabbit.

Adrian doesn't make it far and soon feels a great pain pierce through both of his shoulders. Grobyc pushed his swords down to the hilt into Adrian.
"What did I say about runnin?" Grobyc said darkly. He knocks Adrian's knees out, causeing him to drop and slummp forward. Groby pulls one of his swords out and puts his foot on the other. "Now can you do me a favor and lay down!?" Grobyc pushes his foot on the hilt, forcing the blade into the ground and Adrian down with it.

Grobyc suddenly receives a massive jolt of electricity to the neck, his electronic components assuredly suffering a massive power surge, knocking them out least temporarily. As Grobyc slumps over, Clive pulls the weapons out from Adrian, eliciting yelps of pain.
"Alright, upsy-daisy." He reaches down and helps Adrain up, supporting with the aid of Clive's gnarled staff. "Bit of a bind much, gypsy-guy?"
Clive looks down to the assailant, looks at his iron rod in his hand, then back to the assailant. Then zaps him again. "Hey, he's a machine!" Zaps him again. "Yup, a machine."
He looks to Adrain, puzzled and questioning. "Didn't read the owners manual did you?"
Adrian, in pain, but none the less thankful (though slightly annoyed) leans into his Samaritan. Thanking him for the help. "Well, thank you... I was a dead man. Cura..." The green warmth of a cura washes over his wounds, sealing them and dulling the pain. "I don't know who he is, but he attacked a pub I was in. Think he was targeting me, dunno why though."
Clive raises a brow. "Well... hate to say it, but alot of people hate gypsys! Not me though! I'm indifferent!"

Post by Galeon Chaos on Mar 5, 2009 2:50:49 GMT -5
Galeon walked through the city of Kalm his hands on the back of his head his silver hair weaved through his hand. He whistled as he continued walking. The streets seemed awfully bare for the time of day which struck him as odd, but he didn't care to much. He walked up to the Inn and opened the door looking in seeing nobody in there but a splatter of blood on the floor and some over turned tables.
" Well then, nobody drinking today? How weird is that?"
He laughed as he walked in and bent down at the blood spatter. He ran his finger through it. It was fresh and their was a lot more then he had thought at first.
" Oh great...Someone else trying to destroy the world again?"
He walked into the back and saw the hole in the roof he jumped through it to the roof and followed the path of destruction.
" Or just two drunken idiots going at it?"
He came to where Adrian, Clive and Grobyc were fighting.
" Well there's your drunken idiots..."
He laughed as he walked past the stunned Grobyc to Clive and Adrian.
" Adrian nice to see you again, how's the gypsy-ing treating you?"
He looked to Clive and smiled.
" I don't believe we've met before? I'm Galeon Thanatos, pleasure to meet you!"
He extended his hand looking back at Grobyc.
" Whose the metal head?"
((OOC: I couldn't remember if Clive and Galeon had actually ever met before...then again I dont remember if Adrian and Galeon ever met either...))

((Knowing my characters, you've probably crossed paths at least once))
Adrian rolls his eyes and he rolls his arms. "Well apparently it's once again getting me attacked, least that's the only reason I can fathom why our electrocuted friend here has it out for me. If it wasn't for the Burmecian here, I would of been a shiska-bob." He kicks the felled Grobyc, only to receive a sharp pain to his foot. "Gah", yells as he hops on one foot. "What is it!? Also!" He stands once again. "I'm am hardly drunk, Galeon, didn't even get a chance to take a sip of my drink before this... thing came after me."
Clive rolls his eyes at Adrian's swift kick to the metal can then turns to greet Galeon. "Name's Clive, just Clive, and its good you showed, this thing has been causing some problems. Looks like an android or something, dunno from where though, but I zapped him good!" He taps the body with the butt of his staff, the lantern's dangling from its top clang into each other making a loud racket. "He's down for now but dunno how long. Could try rewiring it but... damn thing looks pretty advanced. Maybe it's ShinRa or something?"
