Demons within

Eliza pondered on his words. What was she doing? It wasn't like her to be so helpful or maybe it was just that no one ever needed her help before. It was strange to think she had actually been of use to someone other than herself and her demon. But she didn't even know Dante, how did she know that he could be trusted. Eliza sat up and hid the concern and anxiety in her face.

"Well that's good to know," Eliza said casually. "But I advise that you lie down for a moment. That looked like a hard bump and you might suffer a concussion." Eliza decided to leave her bag on the ground below him, just in case he was thinking about lying down again. "Nevertheless, I'll still get some ice for your head," she said as she turned away from him, no longer wishing to play nurse. She didn't want compassion to be a weakness of hers.

You are already weak, was the reply from her demon.

"I know..." Eliza said softly as she made her way back to the kitchen quickly. "But I will get stronger."

As she ran, Eliza suddenly noticed Dante falling to the ground. She gasped and forced herself to run faster, pushing past Kyo. Wow, determination... that's not like you Eliza, Disease whispered in her head. She ignored the poisonous words and immediately knelt down before Dante when she reached him. He was struggling towards her as well. Huh, look at him. Pathetic...

"Shut it!" Eliza yelled at the demon in her head, before she turned her attention back to Dante. She lifted his head, feeling for the large bump that had formed from the impact. "Hold on Dante, lie still," She took off her leather bag that was slung at her side, lying it down on the grass beneath his head and allowing his head do drop softly onto it. She wanted to grab some ice for his head but at the same time she didn't want to leave him on his own. Kyo still looked crazed and who knew what he could do to him.

Eliza watched and aided in the food preparation as much as she could. She could see that Kyo was extremely agitated but she knew saying something could potentially make matters worse. She took up the spoon that was placed next to a bowl full of ingredients which Kyo had prepared and begun to stir it for him on his instructions. While she stirred, she could see that he was progressively becoming more and more frustrating.

She heard Disease giggle in her mind. If he's not careful, he's going to explode, Disease piped up in amusement, but said nothing. It was only seconds later when her demon proved right and Kyo stormed out of the kitchen, grumbling about wasting food.

"Kyo, wait!" Eliza called after him. She was still feeling the anxiety from before, but she had no idea what was causing it. As she followed Kyo, watching him grab a few items from the kitchen, she proceeded to call after him, hoping she could provide even a little solace. "I will finish your salmon dish from before if you wish! Kyo!"

Run, little Eliza. Chase them down my little pet, Disease said before it cackled loudly in her head. She tried her best to ignore it, hitching up the hem of her black dress as she quickly followed behind.

Eliza shrugged her shoulders in a more exaggerated manner when she heard the question from Kyo's tablet. "I have no idea. There were so many of us in the same room with her, how could none of us have seen her leave?" Eliza asked in frustration. With the sound of the boy, Dante's, voice asking her to help with making a steak, she felt a bit of relief. The laugh he gave also seemed to show that he was a lot less nervous than she had first assumed. She was especially amused by his comment on poison. "Poison you? Please, I only ever do that on special occassions," Eliza said with a smirk.

Although he had said that they needn't worry, for some reason there was a strange angst still clouding her mind. Hmm... perhaps another one of my old friends is thinking about making an appearance. That doesn't bother you does it? Disease's egotistical voice filled her mind again and Eliza couldn't help but scowl. "Please don't act like you are concerned about me. It's sickening," Eliza shot back bitterly. She was fully aware that she must have looked crazy, like she was talking to herself but surely every one else knew what it was like to be burdened with such a fiend.

Interesting wordplay. I like what you did there, Disease commented and she could hear it's toxic laugh resonating in her head. Eliza rolled her eyes as she walked over to one of the cabinets in the kitchen. Admittedly, she wasn't much of a cook. In fact, the only thing that she had ever done in her life that had classified as cooking was boiled toxic herbs. She had no idea what kind of seasoning she actually needed to do. She turned to Kyo, who she knew was still feeling anxious about the whereabouts of Katherin. Eliza put on her sweetest smile and decided that it would probably be a good idea for them to do what Dante had asked and prepare another meal, even though the one Kyo had made previously went untouched.

"Shall we prepare the steak? I'm sure when Katherin and Dante return they will be famished," Eliza said with the best cheery voice she could muster, despite the nerves that still ran through her. Something terrible was coming.

The kingdom of lore

bump ^.^

Demons within

Eliza's musings about the castle's structure were suddenly interrupted when she looked up to find Katherin had already left and Kyo was typing something on his tablet. When he had revealed his question to them, she simply shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. She also watched as one of the boys had run out of the kitchen and ran into the main hall. The sound of click was heard and Eliza assumed that the boy had locked the door.

"What is he so nervous about?" Eliza asked aloud as she wondered, approaching the door and pressing her ear to it in case she could hear anything suspicious. There were no sounds though, so she pulled away and huffed, wondering. This time, she looked at Kyo and pointed to the locked door with a confused look on her face.

The Pyramid

*Well I guess all of the humans aren't dumbasses after all*. tanikazi kicked the door really hard and it flung open. almost hitting the human in the face [gwen] "Got it!" Tanikazi quickly ran towards the nearest door which was already halfway closed and attempted to slide under it

Gwen quickly followed the furry creature as he slid under the door that was still rolling down slowly. She almost felt a bit like Indiana Jones as she lowered herself, managing a relatively smooth glide underneath the giant metal door. Unfortunately, she had forgotten that she had left one of her metal suitcases in there. Although most of the equipment she needed was duplicated in her other case, there were some items that were not. She stood and looked back at the door that was now shut behind them. "Damn, I hope I didn't leave anything important in there," she said aloud, clutching tighter to her remaining metal case.

Now she knew that it definitely was not a good idea for her to venture out on her own, she thought it would be a good idea to head back to the others. But before she did, Gwen knew that she needed to do her job first. She turned to the furry creature. "Well, that was close." She said with a laugh. "I'm Gwen Harlow by the way. I don't think we ever caught your name?"

Gwen knew that this creature was not familiar with the Earth and its customs, so it may not be familiar with her work. So if she wanted a DNA sample, she was going to have gain his trust first. Besides, DNA samples aren't too difficult to extract. Hell, she could even take a swab of his saliva if he disagreed to everything else but the best samples were the blood. There is the least probability of contamination.

The Pyramid

nerminator said
"Too be honest I actually have no Idea" Tanikazi said as he noticed that the second human female [gwen] was helping him get out of his cell. there was almost no openings on the door. it was remote controlled by the robots. so the only real way was to cut open a hole in the door and cut the Red wire "well I have almost no Idea but last time I checked theres a colored wire that opens the door when cut" Tanikazi said to the female human [gwen]

Gwen looked over towards the hinges of the locked cell and noticed an electronic box with a slit, much like an electrical security lock. The slit looked as though she could fit her ID card through there and she wondered whether it was possible. She knew her card was linked with the systems at work alone but she couldn't be sure if it would apply here. It couldn't though, they were different systems... right? Gwen looked up at the furry creature, holding up the keycard around her neck.

"I'm going to see if this works first, which I doubt it will. It's just that I don't really wanna be screwing up the circuits by cutting the wires and potentially tripping off an alarm or something so I gotta weigh my options," Gwen explained. She silently hoped in her mind that this would work and quickly slid the card through the slit. She held her breath as she waited for a sound, a beep or anything that would tell her if it worked or not. No response.

"Alright then, I guess we can assume that didn't work. Plan B it is," Gwen said with a sigh as she opened up one of her metal suitcases. She didn't have any scissors with her but she did have a scalpel. Considering that the instrument was all metal, there was a good chance that she would get a bit of a shock from the electricity of the cable if she wasn't careful. She could have worn her gloves but she doubted silicone could stop the sparks.

Gwen bent down at the set of cables that the fur creature had indicated to and took hold of the bundle of wires. There was a red, green and blue wire and the rest were black. She picked the red one out and held her scalpel underneath it. She took a deep breath and yanked at the wires. There was suddenly a loud creak and screech, a sound that sounded almost like nails on a blackboard. Gwen looked up to find that the door was already slightly opened.

"Well, will you look at that," Gwen said with a grin. "Looks like the ID card must have worked after all. Now I don't have to be nervous about this wire business." But it seemed she had spoken too soon. Her scalpel was now caught underneath the red wire in the bundle of cables. The system must have detected the obstruction, for the loud screaming of a security siren was heard bleeping down the hall. "Alert! Alert! Equipment vandalism and obstruction! Security lockdown activated in Sector K-2!" The voice of the PA system must have echoed throughout the whole pyramid. The lights in the room suddenly changed to red and the door to the sector was slowly rolling down.

Gwen turned to the kitsune with urgency. "Come on, we gotta get out of here or we're trapped!"

Flawed Perfection (A Drama Filled RP)

Once Esther had finished the last bite of her vanilla slice, she decided it was probably time for her to head home. She had spent enough time handing out resumes and now, she just had to wait to see if she got a call back. She also took special note of the fact that Mally's did an open mic session every Thursday nights. Maybe she would think about coming back and trying her luck then.

As she made her way back to her apartment, she realised she still had one resume left in her back. She figured she would save it, just in case something randomly came up. She also remembered one of the few words of wisdom that her mother always used to say to her: "Never give everything in one go unless you're willing to take the risk." It felt like a long day for her but she realised that she wasn't quite ready to go home just yet. She wanted a little bit of time to herself in a peaceful place so she headed over to the memorial park. It had always been one of her favourite things to find a serene spot where she could sit and write in her journal. She liked to keep note of her reflections in case she ever came up with some golden words of her own.

When she arrived at the park that was just across the road from the high school, she took a seat at one of the empty benches near the lake. Esther sat sideways and placed both her feet up onto the bench as well, so it was almost like she was laying down. She leaned her back on the wooden frame and took out her little brown journal. Sometimes she liked to write about her experiences and other times she would create stories of her own. At the moment, she was in the middle of writing a bit of an Alice in Wonderland spinoff, about a little boy who rediscovers Wonderland and is actually trying to help the Queen of Hearts without realising that she's evil. Being stuck in her own fictional world, she began humming a soft tune, one that was almost like a lullaby. She was so oblivious to the real world around her that she didn't realise that a group of 4 fluffy yellow ducklings had come and sat themselves just below her.

Once she had wiped away the rest of the blood that had spoiled her face, Eliza suddenly felt a cold chill passing by her. She looked up to find that the sight of Death's spirit was suddenly slowly fading, as though it were a mirage. The hairs on her bare arms had pricked up and she could still softly hear Death's voice. What he offered was either a warning or her salvation, and she wondered when she would cross paths with him again. When the table and chair disappeared, leaving her seated alone, she had a smirk on her face as she leaned back on the wooden frame."I wonder what kind of person he will choose for his host. How intriguing..." Eliza said softly to herself, staring down at her hands that had been stained with her dry blood.

Hmph, who cares. Hosts are nothing but hollow cases anyway, Disease said with scorn and bitterness but Eliza chose to ignore it's pessimism. "You're just jealous because now, I wish Death was my demon and not you." Death, the ceasing of life, was always something she found interesting and to have finally met Death himself felt like an even greater blessing. Although, what she said was only half true. Sometimes, she did wish for a different demon, but how else would she be able to inflict so much pain. It wasn't the type of pain that was instant and momentary either, it was long-lasting, searing and unbearable. That's what she preferred. The smirk then grew into a sly smile as Eliza stood from her chair and it, too, vanished behind her as she made her way to the sink and began washing her hands once more, staring out the window at nothing in particular as she got lost in her thoughts. The mouth-watering smell of dinner was filling her nose but she remained drifting in her own mind while her hands remained still under the running water of the tap.

Once she was done with cleansing her hands, she walked over to the table were Katherin was seated, but did not take a seat herself. She had already eaten, but she wanted to express her gratitude to the owner of the castle for allowing her refuge. Eliza thought it more appropriate to wait until Katherin had finished her dinner before she gave her thanks. Eliza just stood in the corner and looked around, admiring the structure of the castle.
