[@ShadowVentus][@Snarfulblast][@OtomostheCrazy][@6slyboy6] [color=8dc73f]"Ohhh, please don't shoot him!" Persephone looks as if she's genuinely concerned about the spirit himself, until she follows it up with, "You'll waste your bullets! You can't kill him that way!" As she's led up to the door, she opens it and steps into the security room. Her eyes first catch Michael and Sarchesker interacting. Sarchesker represses the urge to glare or make a snide comment at Michael, and tries to keep up his facade of harmlessness. "My good sir, I'm not so sure she'd agree with you on that. I mean, look! She's here, coming to help me, instead of participating in a battle!" "Yeah, and it looks pretty fun too." Persephone huffs. "Displaying my battle skills would be awesome, considering the only impression I've probably left on some of these people is that I'm weak, since I got killed and knocked out in my first hour here! What are you gonna do if others start trying to attack me, because they think I'm an easy target?" "...Honestly, knowing you, you won't need help." Sarchesker replies. "However, if it came to be...I'd help defend you." [i]"But you know that I'd really just leave you, right? I cannot believe what I just said."[/i] Sarchesker thinks to his charge afterwards. [i]"That's just rude!....Hehe, but I know it's true~."[/i] Persephone thinks back with an unchanged expression. She turns to Tobias. "So, what's the deal? Do I just take him with me now, oooorrrrrr....?" "They want clarification on why I tried to kidnap you." Sarchesker reminds her. "AH! Yessss, yes, yes. That!" Persephone laughs. "Well, sometimes, we play a game when I'm bored! We call it Warrior-Princess-Witch-of-Awesomeness and Beast!" "I opted for a different name than beas-" Sarchesker starts with a certain reluctant look in his eyes. He knew this was about to get bad. For him, specifically. "Anyway," Persephone cuts her spirit guardian off, "Since I don't have any warriors to fight for me usually, I have to be both the person who's kidnapped, and the person who beats up the beast! Sarchesker here just gets a little too rough sometimes!" Persephone stepped in front of Sarchesker's cage, and grinned at him. "Don't you, Chessie?" She cooed. [i]"You're having way too much fun with this and I do NOT appreciate it."[/i] Sarchesker kept his expression from changing. [i]"Too bad. Gotta comply with me if you want out..."[/i] Persephone's thoughts were spoken in an eerily malicious tone, though her innocent grin only grew. "Yes, well...you're usually so strong, combat-wise, that sometimes I forget how physically frail you actually are." Sarchesker nods. "Hahaha, most magic users are like that! We pack a punch with out weapons and magic, but when it comes to muscle....well, why do you think we're primarily magic-users?" Persephone snickers gleefully before turning back to Tobias. "So, does that satisfy your questions, sir?" "I really don't know if there's much more to say myself..." Sarchesker's eyes trail back to Michael as he speaks.[/color] [color=a0410d]Ruitsume is still on her way to get Kanashiko back to her room when a commotion starts up. There's noise, the presence of some big beast, and flames. "I hope this has nothing to do with Persephone." Ruitsume breathes out a weary sigh. She's reassured by the announcement she hears over the hotel's intercom that comes next, but still looks annoyed. Mostly because she's not looking forward to what's coming next. "So, Kanashiko...change of plans." Ruitsume turns to her. "...We might need your help with whatever the hell is out there." "Ohhhh....but it sounds terrible." Kanashiko's eyes water, as they usually do. "A-and, I wouldn't be any help...I'd just ruin everything..." Ruitsume tries her hardest not to roll her eyes. Kanashiko was her friend, and she can't really help her personality, considering her job, but still, the constant put-downs she dished out onto herself would get grating on one's patience. "Kana, there's fire out there. And what is your main magical ability?" Ruitsume attempts to get her on board with a new approach. "...Tears..." Kanashiko sniffles. "And what are tears made of?" "...Water..." "And what does water put out?" "...Fires..." "Exactly." Ruitsume takes her depressing friend by the hand. "So, logically, even if you can't fight the monster itself, you can still help. So, we need you. Come on." "Okay, Rui...if you're sure..." Kanashiko agrees weakly. With that, Ruitsume leads the way outside to where people have already gathered to try fighting off the construct.[/color] [color=9e005d]The shadows glance around at their new surroundings, before grinning some more. "Man, you picked the best place to live!" Amber says to Karl. "Closets are the best!" "They're perfect for scaring people!" Clancy nods in agreement. "Especially children!" "Definitely children! Of course, the second place spot is deffffiiinitely under the bed." Amber's grin turns a little more wicked.[/color]
