[quote=@Lunarlors34][@Zarkun][@Joshua Tamashii][@Roseletta][@Lunarlors34][hider=My Hider] [center][h1][color=bc8dbf]Ethel Storm[/color], [color=92278f]Jessica Albert[/color], [color=00aeef]Manami Fuyu[/color], [color=ed1c24]Cody Bloodstein[/color], [color=7ea7d8]Shiro Hime[/color], [color=39b54a]Sora Kaze[/color] and [color=2e3192]James Lumin[/color][/h1][/center] Cody solemnly nodded at Amaya's mention of controlling his anger. It wasn't that he couldn't control it...he was usually quite good at keeping his emotions in check. But something about the situation just made him...snap. He couldn't quite put his finger on it but. [color=39b54a]"Ah you're the slayer. That would explain this whole mess. This makes a whole lot more sense to me now."[/color] Sora glanced around the group before sighing suddenly. No one here was worth fighting...damn. [color=39b54a]"You think their entire guild is after slayers? That's a rather vain way of thinking. This one in particular has some form of beef with you slayers. Something about religion and destiny, etc, etc. You know, pathetic crap that I don't give a shit about."[/color] Sora gestured towards Manamai as he spoke. He felt the need to correct this girl's, Amaya's, line of thinking. Although to be honest Sora didn't have a huge knowledge on Shadow Heart, but from what he had encountered, it was Manami who was going after slayers. Shiro was tagging along for reasons unknown to Sora, but the reasons didn't matter to him. He had a job to do, so he was going to do it. [color=39b54a]"I assume this 'Jamie' is your guildmaster, so then let's hurry up. As I stated this lot is rather heavy."[/color] Sora sounded impatient as he responded to James' comment on Jamie being just up ahead. [color=bc8dbf]"Ethel can help...Ethel doesn't have healing magic, but Ethel can make disinfectant. Ethel has a bottle somewhere..."[/color] Ethel rummaged through her jacket pockets as a thought came to Sora's mind. This Amaya girl was a slayer, and was using ice to heal whatever wounds this 'mother hen' was talking about. So it was natural to assume that this girl was an Ice Slayer of some kind, whether it be dragon, devil, god, etc. So if Jess was here, she could help her regain some magic. Not that Sora was going to voice these thoughts however, it was just something which popped into his head. Ethel now pulled out a vial of clear liquid and held it up above her, carefully looking it over before nodding. Yes this was the disinfectant...either that, or the vial of pure magic. Fifty-fifty chance. Cody meanwhile was grateful for James' help in trying to get the others off his back, but he really wished that he hadn't mentioned that last part as Ethel gave him a weird look now. Almost that of confusion.... [color=ed1c24]"No it's ok James...really, I shouldn't have run in there like that. No excuses."[/color] Cody mumbled with a downcast look. The images of the previous event now replaying in his mind till it got to a certain one...the one when he had gotten caught in that giant hand and dragged underground for the briefest of moments before Ferrin had saved him. [i]Do you crave Freedom? Do you wish to be unbound from the tethers of this world? To become strong?[/i] [i]Only through strength, can one become truly free. . . to do whatever they wish and grasp whatever they desire.[/i] He wasn't sure what that feeling was back there....nor was he sure where those words had come from. But they seemed to resonate within his soul. Ethel eventually tore her gaze away from Cody again to hand over the vial to Amaya, her nose scrunched up in disgust.[/hider] [/quote] Verick tagged along, the mission wasn't done yet and he had no choice in the matter here. He agreed to do the mission and so he would, till it was completed. He didn't really want to speak up though, as he wasn't comfortable being around so many people. Normally he'd be a smart ass and say some stupid stuff to make them all feel mad or uncomfortable, but it just wasn't really his style in such a large group... It wasn't even really intimidation it was a bit... of shyness. He didn't spend a lot of team near humans in general and now there were so many surrounding him, so he decided to try and keep his focus on something else... [color=00746b]"Hey kid." [/color]He looked down at Ethel.[color=00746b] "You alright?" [/color]
