[IC] Hidden among humanity

[Vortex]

Julius saw a girl fall on her bike and the girl on swing rush to help her, if he was still at the orphanage he would have gone over to help or at least see what happened but times change and he now had a job that needed doing. Julius reached the house and walked up the steps and entered the house for the door was open. Ten minutes later after a gunshot and a scream Julius emerged from the hoUse covered in bloodstains and left.

XxLyraxX said
"A-Are you ok?"

"Ugh... yeah... I think so." The cyclist said as she sat up and started brushing dirt off of her t-shirt. She smiled at the girl and than held her hand out in a way that asked for assistance in standing. "I'm Bethany. What's your name?"

Once back on her feet she heard screams and shooting coming from a nearby house. She then saw what looked like a bloody killer leaving. Her body was ready to run as she looked at the other girl with fear and whispered "let's get out of here, ok?"

[XxLyraxX]

Miyuki squeaked when screamed rang out and she watched with wide eyes as a man left all bloody. The scent of blood filled the air and she had to refrain from gagging though her pale face did go a little green. She nodded at the girl, body tensed. "M-My brother owns a Martial Arts studio n-not f-far from here. W-We can go there." She whispered back.

[Aegis Ater]

Bethany looked over at her bike and saw that it was too messed up for her to fix quickly. So on foot it would have to be. "Alright, let's go. I'm right behind you" she said ready to run like the wind or just walk really fast, whatever the other girl found to be more appropriate. While running would get them out of there faster, it would also be more noticeable.

Miyuki nodded and scurried away out of the park, forcing herself to not look over her shoulder to see if the man was still there. Her enhanced senses told her that the girl was following after her so she just focused on the path in front of her. She hoped Mamori wouldn't be too angry with her for bringing a stranger into his studio but she wasn't sure if she wanted to tell him the truth. If he knew there was a murderer on the loose he would refuse to let her leave the house. She bit her lip and glanced at Bethany. "U-Ummm...C-Could w-we maybe n-not tell my brother what happened? If h-he knew something l-like that happened he wouldn't let me leave the house. H-He's kind of overprotective." She said with a timid little smile.

Liz decided to go out to lunch. As she walked along the street she studied the people. The world had always fascinated her. Even when she hadn't known there was a supernatural community to be a part of. The world amazed her more that she was a part of the world. Both supernatural and the regular world.

[Aegis Ater]

"Yeah, my dad would probably do the same. I kinda feel guilty though. Shouldn't we tell the police or something?" She sympathized with the Miyuki. But she had still just witnessed what looked like a murderer leaving the crime scene. "Like what should we tell your brother then? And what do we do about the truth?." Bethany's voice was calm, but her heartbeat was going at full speed.

Julius walked into a alley and took off his trench coat and cleaned the blood off his hands. Thankfully the blood only went not he trench coat and his hands so now he looked like a ordinary man. He left the alley way and decided to go find a place to eat.

Stephanie had just nodded before going outside. It had been her lawyer, informing that the police was looking for her again. Of course that was barely something to shrug at if it were just a simple routine, where the cops would ask questions about her and she would manage to answer the way they really wouldn't get anything out of it, but what got her off was the fact she was not the suspect this time, but the victim.

Apparently someone had noticed a girl looking a lot like her being abducted during the evening and since the same deputy had seen her so recently, the details the bystander had given had been similar to Stephanie. It was supported by the fact she hadn't been answering to her cell phone, nor was she found in her home during the night. Apparently the investigators were at her home right now to search clues when realizing Stephanie, or at least someone, had used the place during the really late hours, or really early hours along with drops of blood. Good thing about it was the fact Stephanie was now patched like new, so she could make up another story quite reliably, bad thing was now she couldn't even guess what was cause of the wound... or more importantly, who.

Liz decided to have lunch at her favorite café. It offered some of the best soup on the poor side of town. She loved the people she meet there. They were always friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere allowed Liz to feel like she was feel like she was truly a part of something rather than on the outskirts of everything. The café was equal parts human and nonhuman, which wasn't unusual for this time of day. Liz was lucky to grab an empty table.

[Vortex]

(I swear we have done this scene before...)

Julius found a cafe to his liking, it may have been in the slums (Yes, he too calls it slums) but he decided to give it a chance as it may surprise him and he was really too hungry to care. He walked into the cafe and Julius found that it was surprisingly packed, Julius began searching the room for a empty table.

[KatherinWinter]

(its the only way I could figure out how to get Liz out and interacting. Maybe it will go better this time.)
Liz sat at a table alone waiting on her soup. Her eyes wondered around the café taking in all the different people. She greeted those she recognized from the clinic. Most everyone knew of Liz and her little clinic. Many of them had been to see her a time or two. As she looked around she saw someone enter. The man held striking resemblance to someone she hadn't seen in year. "Julius?"

[Vortex]

(Indeed)

Julius spun around nervously, he was sure it would be somebody sent to kill him but he could be no farther from the truth, for it was a woman he grew up with and a good friend. It was Liz. "Uh... Ye-Liz? Liz, is that really you?"

[KatherinWinter]

" Yes. Come sit with me. We should catch up." Liz indicated to the seat across from her. She had always like Julius. He and the others from the orphanage had made those awkward teen years bearable. She wondered what he was doing here.

[Vortex]

Julius had not seen Liz in quite a while and as she was a dear friend he was more than happy to sit and chat "Yeah... Sure, we should yes" Julius said awkwardly as he sat down "So Liz how have you been?"

[KatherinWinter]

"Life has been pretty busy. I have a small clinic not far from here. It was a gift from the benefactor. I own a Victorian house that I am fixing up." Liz updated her old friend. "I've gotten some real world experience. How about you? How have you been?"

Angelique was still sitting there when she heard crying, she shook her head and disappeared she ended up in a hospital. A woman in her late twenties was crying over a man and a baby. "Hi there." She said and the woman looked at her. "H-hi, what happened?" She asked tears flowing down her face, Angelique sighed and took her hand. She walked the lady outside she knew no one else could see them since she was in her angel form but a man walked up to them and smiled at the lady, he grew wings and took the woman's hand. "Just come with me I will explain." He said and they flew up, the woman nodded every once in a while until they disappeared into the clouds. Angelique went back to human form and walked to a downtown cafe.

Juliius smiled happily at his friends good fortune and thought back to the days of the orphanage "Yes, I am well. I have..." Julius was about to tell Liz his occupation but he decided that that was not the best of ideas so instead said "Yes the benefactor was fortunate to both of us"

[KatherinWinter]

"I am glad to see that you are doing well. I have exciting news. I didn't have your contact information so I couldn't tell you the way I told everyone else." Liz took Julius hand and placed it on her slightly rounded stomach.

[Vortex]

Julius looked at her hand for several moments before realising what she meant and with a surprised look on his face Julius said "Oh! Well done! Congratulations Liz!"
