The Search for Elvarren

As he awaited his answer from Jay another member of the group, the one with the metallic dragon that always amazed him, had called across the living area to answer Jay's pleas for a place to wash herself. Luci nodded as he agreed with what she had to say and was about to turn to add his own comment when his brain told him something unknown was getting very close very fast. His eyes flashed with deadly intent as he responded instantly to the unknown threat. Luci turned and metallic blurs flashed from his jacket pockets as three two-inch long needles shot towards the object being tossed at him and punctured several holes in it before returning to his pockets. He stood there for a moment looking down on the ground for some time before his brain realized there was no threat at all.

"Oh, erm, I'm terribly sorry." He said while facing the group in the living area with a bashful smile. "I've gone and wasted a perfectly good plastic bottle. I apologize if I startled any of you."

He quickly unzipped his jacket placing it and the hares to the side as he pulled off his plain grey t-shirt. Crouching low he used his t-shirt as a make-shift rag to soak up all the water spilt by the now empty water bottle. Once all the water was mopped up Luci hung the wet shirt around his neck as he pulled his jacket back on and zipped it up. Picking up the hares he stood up and looked around. He planned on wringing out his shirt once he was outside and letting it air-dry while he gutted the hares later. He turned back to Jay and Aries just in time to see their expressions and hear their responses. One simply frowned at him like he had done something wrong while the other had the proper elated expression that comes from being given exactly what you were looking for.

"Yes, Aries, I think I will. I've been here slightly longer than these new ones so a proper guide would be helpful. Of course it's not appropriate for a man to watch a woman bathe so having Pup come along to keep watch for Jay will be essential. To answer your question, "He said as he looked at Aries, "Yes I do know how to clean a hare. If you do not I would be more than willing to show you at a future date. In the meantime I'll be waiting outside for whenever you and Pup decide to leave."

With that he turned his back on the group inside the bedroom and walked out into the living area where one of the members of the group was currently putting on a sort of light show. Ignoring the antics Luci turned his attention to the kitchen sink in the corner of the room. In it was a knife which suddenly lifted up into the air and shot across the room through the empty space between the crowd and directly into his free hand. Glancing down at the blade in his hands Luci grumbled as he ran his thumb across it.

"Not even sharp enough to cut butter." He muttered as he walked away deep in his thoughts. The door to the cabin had swung open on its own and the edge of the knife flashed once with a razor sharp gleam just as the door shut behind him leaving the others inside in silence.

If Wind doesn't post before I get home I'll probably try to sneak a post in having Luci leave the room as Pup is a better escort for another female when it comes to bathing lol

The Search for Elvarren

Is the girl still in the room?

@Bishop

She is very much in there. Along with Luci, Aries, and Pup (I think). Either that or she chimed in from the living room. The cabin isn't very big.

See at least Pup appreciates Luci's powers. Calling them creepy... *grumbles*

@Twilights Curse

Hah you're not the only one.

The Search for Elvarren

It was a foggy morning in the deep forests surrounding the Jackman Flats cabin. Within the misty trees was a human figure treading his way carefully around exposed roots and loose rocks. Clutched within his left hand were several hares all hanging limply by their legs. Each one sporting the same wound. A bloody eye and a pin-sized hole in the back of their skulls as if something very small shot through their eye and escaped out the back. This was Luci and he was currently making his way back to the cabin with food in hand for Dusk, Aries, the infirm girl who was found shortly after he arrived, and the rest of group of misfits that Dusk had collected.

Hmm I wonder if Dusk ever came back from wherever it is he disappears to. He thought to himself as the cabin came into view.

As he neared the cabin a strange feeling washed over him and he looked at the building in surprise. He could sense several new people moving about in the building. Specifically he could sense whatever metal trinkets they had kept on their persons. For him metal isn't just something he can control. It's something he co-exists with. It's a part of him albeit not physically. Almost as if they all had individual souls that call out to him. No information was passed instead he was able to sense and feel the metal around him. It was through this sense that he's able to reach out to the 'souls' of metal and control it.

"Time to go meet the newbies." He said to himself in a playful tone as he scampered off to the cabin quickly arriving at the front door in minutes. As he neared the door the handle seemed to twist on its own and the door swung noiselessly on its hinges. A cabin like this would normally squeak in every place imaginable but after the few days he has been here, and through great effort, he managed to pull out all the old hinges and made new ones with the scrap metal he kept on hand. No rust afflicted metal would grate his ears ever again if he could help it. Walking through the main living room he scanned the various faces scattered throughout the room picking out the new ones from the old. From the old faces he noticed one, Dusk, was missing. This was understandable as he almost never stuck around for long. Out of the group of faces six were new.

Speaking of old faces it looks like the infirm has finally woken up. He noticed that in the room with the only bed the unconsious girl that had been brought back by Aries and Dusk. When she had arrived she was a complete mess to put it lightly. Luci had been told she was found in the dump, and her body proved it. The cabin reeked of unimaginable, unholy smells and it wasn't long before a few of the females in the group banded together to wash up the infirm. With dead hares in hand he swiftly crossed the gap between him and the side room, ignoring any odd looks along the way, and entered the side room.

"Looks like the infirm finally woke up. Smells a whole less worse, too. River's to the south west. If you need any assistance finding it I'd be of great help." He said with a warm smile, "I myself arrived here about three days ago and have spent most that time outside as it's quite cramped. Plus while everyone else is adjusting I decided it would be a good idea to find food. Can't have everyone starving to death, you know!"

His body language was open and friendly as if he wanted nothing more than to be friends with the person in front of him yet that warmth didn't quite reach his eyes. Instead he looked down at this woman with a neutral gaze almost as if it didn't matter if she were to cuss him out or thank him. He'd just continue on with his life and go back to whatever task was at hand.

Lui Cullins

Real Name?
The name's Lui Cullins though not like any of you would know that.

Alias Then?
You can call me Luci. Yes, Luci.

How Old Are You?
Twenty-four!

Describe Yourself. What Do You Look Like?
You're looking at me ain't ya? It's fairly plain to see. I'm 'bout five seven or five eight in height. That's feet and inches of course. My hair is raven colored not black. It looks black but that's because you're clearly blind. Could use a nice, hot shower probably. It's pretty grimy. I'm pretty tan, too, check it out. I'd blend in pretty well in a crowd if I cleaned up if it weren't for one detail that sticks out like a sore thumb. My eyes are a brilliant blue color. They're practically like crystals embedded in my skull. Ain't that neat? Got it from my mother's side, ya'know. Genes really helped me out there. Didn't end up like all my siblings with their muddy, dirty brown eyes. My fashion sense is a little bland I guess. T-shirts, black jeans, and zip-up hoodies. Ooh exciting!

I Hear You Have An Ability.
You bet your sweet ass I do! Think Magneto from the comics except instead of being able to control all forms of magnetism I just straight up control the metal itself. No lame magnetism needed. How would I know the difference? Easy, of course. I don't just control Iron, Cobalt, and Nickle which are all naturally magnetic. I can mess with precious metals like silver and gold as well. Just imagine the applications! I can take a piece of metal and do all sorts of things to it. Move it around? Child work. Change its shape? Of course! Vaporize it into a mist and watch your enemies inhale it so that you can ravage their internals out of sight? Yeah! Well, not really. Changing the physical properties is pretty taxing mentally for now, but I'm getting better at it!

How About The Voice. What's It Like?
Oh she's the best! Well maybe it's a he. I don't really know, actually. They sometimes sound male, sometimes female, and it never really stays constant either. It calls itself the Perpetual, but I just like to call it Petal. Why would I want to imagine a dude's voice in my head anyways. Anyways this voice is actually pretty interesting when it actually decides to speak. Mostly it asks questions, and is pretty curious too. Sometimes it'll get pretty bossy and tell me what to do. I know it's for the best because without these orders I never would have been able to get this far. Petal has taught me the importance of feeding and even warned me about these weird men in grey suits I've often seen in places I've been to.

Where're You From? How Long Have You Been Searching For Elvarren?
Well I was born in Arkansas. What are you surprised? Yeah I know I've got no accent, but that ain't what we're talking about. Big ol' family there. Mom, Dad, and several siblings of various age groups. I was the fourth of six kids. Six kids! With so many siblings my folks never really did keep a close eye on me so I explored outside the house quite often. I practically grew up outside of my home. Especially once I applied my abilities to aiding my exploration skills. Once I figured out how to drive a car I never had a reason to go back home. After doing some cleaning up I left home and traveled the States looking for the elusive Elvarren, but never did find it.

How Did You End Up Here?
That is a good question! I'd like to think of it as a predator's intuition. Oh, but don't get the wrong idea! It's not like I'm hunting you guys or anything. I meant Elvarren! Yeah, I'm hunting Elvarren. So as I traveled around from place to place with each stop more unlikely to hold the secrets to Elvarren than the last I found myself on the Canadian border. As I looked past the security check into the country beyond I had a gut feeling. An instinctual feeling that I'd find what I was looking for outside of American soil. Plus, Petal agreed with me. She said it was a good idea, too.

Got Anything Else You'd Like To Say?
I'm sure you and I are going to get along quite well.
