Personification Life - IC Part VIII [open]

[The BranRiech]

Bran and Rylli, of course, hadn't joined in, and were waiting with the rest of the group. They were teasing eachother though, just messing around really. Being a raptor, they didn't really know how to take their clothes off, so they couldn't do anything (Not like they would anyways!). But licking a friend? Nah, they'd not do that, especially to Katya.

Bran completely ignored Tieria, and shot a glare his way without saying anything. "Fine, we'll let it eat you first then." He finally said, needing to respond somehow.

--

Seeing Raptor-Tasia bolt off towards the exit, Natiya swiped up her blue vest and slipped it on (It wasn't shredded like the rest of her clothes were from the transformation), and she soon found out the hard way that stairs were a bit of a new experience for her, tripping up and falling on several of them.

--

Rachelle continued wolfing down cupcakes, or, raptoring them down if you like clever humor, but *Shot*

Let's just say she kept eating cupcakes, and running around the apartment building at will.

[Primordial Luxa]

She didnt need to put much thought into, Luxans were a postmodern people and the answer flowed smoothly through her even as her skin turned a dark shade of red. "Id prefer it to be as public as possible. A story that fills the minds of everyone for days and increases my immortality at the cost of a persons life. To become a little more infamous and known than I already am. Id have it televised without anyone's knowledge so I could walk about and see people react to the death of one."

"Sounds...exhilarating!" Arthur agreed with great interest.

He smiled and leaned forward, setting his chin in the palms of his claws as he looked into Insidious' eyes. He quite enjoyed her company, but then again at some point it would go go horribly wrong for someone. Tonight it wasn't them, but an unfortunate third party. And another thing, half an hour had gone by while eating, Arthur's corrupted structure would soon snap back reasserting itself on him.

She leaned forward as well in a mirroring action but rested her hand half way across the table as an invitation. "It is quiet a holy experience, but some much of the work goes in the display and not the actual work." she replied as her skin displayed blue drops of water falling from her head to fill her body up like a glass. She could sense his body straining but she didnt pay it much heed and thought it a product of something else entirely. "What should I know about you that I’d never think to ask about?" she said continuing their questionnaire.

[Urran]

Tieria's response to Bran was scoff and chuckle slightly. "I think it only eats cowards. It can smell your fear." Tieria's sense of humor was very dark to say the least.


Yoshi was curled up on a chair near where Torii had been sitting. He snored peacefully, he wished that he was Urranese again.

[Torsiedelle]

"Well, this is cute.", Torii chuckled. Yoshi having dosed off, Rachelle going hyper...what time was it, though? She'd have to look for the others, soon. She knew that her sister wouldn't miss her birthday, right?

.....

"Now, there ", Katya interjected. "Bran is no coward. He's a good man, which is why I consider him a friend."

[Urran]

.....

"Now, there ", Katya interjected. "Bran is no coward. He's a good man, which is why I consider him a friend."

"Maybe this escaped your memory Dear, but I'm evil." Tieria said with a shrug of his raptor shoulder. He circled Katya a few times like a cat eyeing a mouse and then wrapped his tail around her and licked her face. "Okay?"

[Swith Witherward]

"Well, this is cute.", Torii chuckled. Yoshi having dosed off, Rachelle going hyper...what time was it, though? She'd have to look for the others, soon. She knew that her sister wouldn't miss her birthday, right?

.....

"Maybe this escaped your memory Dear, but I'm evil." Tieria said with a shrug of his raptor shoulder. He circled Katya a few times like a cat eyeing a mouse and then wrapped his tail around her and licked her face. "Okay?"

"You're not evil," Minerva chuffed. "I know evil. I'm possessed. You're just preternaturally ovulating. Not all bad tempered people are evil. Now stop sniping at the mechanic and do something useful instead of hanging back to gawk at shark bear whatevers. Why not ask that... thing... if it knows where the raptors are?"

Minerva was bitchy. She was tired of being a raptor, tired of Hans and Chrys licking poor Katya, and tired of dealing with mortals and their petty emotions. She was also behind on her reports, getting an earful from her lads through her tether with them (the city was in a state of pandemonium) and tired of telling Swith that "all is well" back home (the god was just finishing up her mani/pedi and trying to decide if she wanted a massage.)

She vented the only way she politely could... by snagging Hans' slimy tongue with her sharp talons, drawing it as far out of his mouth as possible, and letting go. Predictably, because it was one of Klaus' men, the tongue snapped back into his mouth like something out of a cartoon. Hans closed his mouth and held his tongue.

The police man eyed the papers. "What's your business outside this building?" he asked the occupants in the Kia.

[Urran]

"Oh? we're just tourists taking a break from site seeing. Squid jerky?" he offered. Of course this was a complete and total lie. Their target was a resident of the building and they were spying on said person. If the policeman got too nosy there might be one less cop in Bielefeld, depending on whether or not he was mortal and not heavily armored.



Tieria chuckled. "I was created to destroy all life forms and replace them with an advanced race of super species. Enslaving humanity is my purpose."

[Torsiedelle]

"And it's my new job to protect it!", Katya retorted happily. "Anyway, that's beside the point. We have an objective to pursue, and we need to complete it quickly."

She didn't care to talk about trivial matters until after the raptorfication was dealt with. She was actually getting used to the licking, but still...she needed to stop this.

Tieria ran his claws down her back. "The YOU should go and ask the creature where the raptors are." he purred. If one didn't kow any better, it would appear that he was trying to seduce her. His head feathers flared up and down a few times.

[Swith Witherward]

Tieria chuckled. "I was created to destroy all life forms and replace them with an advanced race of super species. Enslaving humanity is my purpose."

"Then go to where the tourists go," the police officer wasn't smiling. "And I don't want to see you on this street again. This street is bad news. Tourists only come here to ask for drugs."

It wasn't a stretch of the imagination. Minerva and her lads did a roaring manufacturing business. The problem was raiding them. How do you get a search warrant for another dimension? It was the only contention between the city and Swith's number one cultist. They suspected the Luxan ambassadors as well, but that group didn't actually traffic the crap. Cocaine... mountains and mountains of Chaos cocaine, was the issue. The city wasn't buying into "We use it for religious reasons" and "it all goes to the future", either.

--

"That's not evil, Tieria" Minerva sighed. "That's just a fucked up manifesto. And Katya isn't going to fuck you. So go ask the shark bear yourself."

[The BranRiech]

Bran and Rylli obviously weren't happy about how everyone was turning on eachother, both looking confused and angry, mostly at Tieria and his idiocy. "Guys, how about we stop snapping at eachother like dogs? We can wait till after we're human for that, unless Tieria here wants to sabotage the team, then we're all in this together." He said. It didn't make sense! How could they fight with one another if they were all in this for the same reason?

[Urran]

Don't you have some helpless child to devour?' Tieria asked Minerva. He wasn't in a tolerable mood. And he had a sudden urge to burn down a village. Maybe it was because he was a raptor? Who knew. He then turned on Bran. "Tick tock, your time is running out. I have no patience for you Branson, I don't expect much from a Human, but you are really wearing on my nerves."


'May I have my papers back sir?" the man in the Kia asked. "And does that building across the street happen to have a restroom?" He really hoped things didn't get ugly, it was against Urranese policy to kill innocent people, the officer was merely doing his job, and he probably had family. Even so, one of the unseen passengers in the back started to screw a silencer onto his Glock 17.

He then turned on Bran. "Tick tock, your time is running out. I have no patience for you Branson, I don't expect much from a Human, but you are really wearing on my nerves."


The door to the Kia opened and the man slipped out quickly so as not to show the inside of the car to the officer. "May I have my papers back?" he asked, looking him directly in the eye. He wondered if what he heard about this place was true. If he shot the guy he might just laugh and toss them into a dimension filled with clowns, fire, and red meat.

And time stopped.

Minerva had enough of the pesky man. She would have pantsed him, if he were wearing any, but he wasn't. She would have decked him, only her raptor hands would negate half the force of the punch. Instead, she hummed silently for a moment... there isn't any sound outside of time... and then counted to ten. Then twenty.

Time resumed. Mienrva offered Tieria a bland expression. Her voice remained light. "Tieria? Run. I'm going to kill you. In 10... 9... 8..."

Klaus raised an eyebrow but didn't intervene.

"7... 6..."

She would stop time again when she reached one, and then touch him to drag him outside of it with her... and then let go and watch his atoms dissipate.

(ooc: waiting on OOC for cop, just to clarify stuff.)

[Urran]

Tieria let out a long sigh. "Remind me why I even live here?" He knew that she wouldn't kill him. He did, however, start to walk backwards , uncurling his tail from around Katya. On the off chance that she was serious, he didn't want to be here when she reached one.

Minerva hadn't moved.

Klaus seemed to no longer need to blink or breathe. "Killing him would only create tension," he reminded her.

"Don't be silly," she chuffed. "What tension? No body to find. Who'd miss him besides Kei? It's a pity he fell prey to the raptors' house. Oh and 5... 3..."

Klaus lifted a brow. "You skipped 4."

"What? Yes. I know. 2..."

[Urran]

Few things actually hurt Tieria. But Minerva's words burned like fire. Who'd miss him he repeated the phrase in his head over and over again as he turned tail and run. He would have been disgusted with himself, an Innovater running away, but he was too hurt. She was right and he knew it, that's why it hurt so much. A single tear slid down his face. "What am I crying?" he scolded himself. He had just wanted to help really. His intentions were good, but he had a tendency to, well, be an arse.

[The BranRiech]

Satisfied that Tieria's threats were quite empty as he ran off, the couple sighed in relief. Bran was somewhat worried about him though, making threats on his life and such was something to be taken seriously. Rylli, just figured they could beat him.

"W-well. I'm not a nuisance, right?"

He was stopped by a smack from the raptor in a floral print dress, hissing at him. "If you were a nuisance, would I have married you?"

That shut Bran up instantly.

Minerva nodded at Rylli. She approved of the swat.

"Sorry, but we don't have time for Ti to attack Bran. We must remain focused," she snorted. "He's sniping at you because he's bored, Bran. I'm not anyone's mother. I haven't the patience for it. I'm in a foul mood. If I laid an egg this very moment, I'd make an omelet rather than deal with any future nonsense." She bobbed her raptor head in affirmation and turned her focus to the intercom.

[The BranRiech]

Well, Minerva's example was certainly an eye opener. Rylli shrugged her stubby arms and sighed. "I don't know what I'd do, honestly, hmm. I mean, it'd technically be my kid, but . . . Eh." She pondered the idea. It wouldn't happen, as her and Bran really didn't do anything.

"L-let's just go."

For Bran at least, the conversation had gotten a bit awkward.

[Bone Fort]

In the yard around the building, not quite near the confrontation between the cop and the agents, Eva was playing with her dolls. She seemed happy for once, and not her usual empty smile brand of happiness. Actual, genuine happiness.

Granted, she still struck an odd sight, since the rag dolls she played with could be described with the phrase "Satanist G.I. Joe", and the grass in a three foot circle around her had died.

A young vampire flew down and seated herself just outside of the circle of dead grass. She stuck the handled of her magical umbrella in the ground so that she could remove the hood on her cloak, though not the whole thing, just in case something happened, like her umbrella blowing away. She had long, silky, smokey black hair. And blue eyes that seemed to glow. she hugged her knees to her chest and watched the girl with interest.

For Bran at least, the conversation had gotten a bit awkward.

"Let me put it to you straight, Nikanor," Chrys said. She'd intended to deal with Tieria herself, but Minerva had gotten there first.

"You are a nuisance. However, you're also a nuisance who comes with the job. The Captain over there isn't a mother, and neither am I, but we look after you anyway. It's just what we do. Maybe it'll mean more if you look at it from the point of view that it's not in our natures, but we do it anyway. Now come on. Time's a-wasting, and he's scary when he's annoyed."

(OOC - Back after my meeting.)

[Bone Fort]

Eva didn't acknowledge the vampire at all, so deeply engrossed in her work was she. She seemed to be making another doll, sewing it together from scrap and adding bits and pieces to it, a little coat, hat, machine gun, gas mask, necklace made of skulls. You know, for kids.

The only outside thing she would acknowledge was the confrontation happening nearby, occasionally glancing over at it. It didn't take a genius to figure out that things were about to go up shit's creek without a paddle. She wasn't scared, but she was worried about her dolls. They don't like violence happening near them. They tend to not take it well.

[The BranRiech]

"I-I am? Just . . . Be quiet." Bran said, getting angry now. He wanted to be convinced he wasn't. Rylli and Minerva both agreed, but Chrys didn't seem to. Yeah, like he even needed her to follow him around anyways. He looked at her angrily, and clenched his raptor-hands together.

Rylli didn't notice the anger, but heard the resentment in his voice.

"OK," Chrys chimed with a wave of her tail, and returned to staring fixedly at Tieria.

Seeing Raptor-Tasia bolt off towards the exit, Natiya swiped up her blue vest and slipped it on (It wasn't shredded like the rest of her clothes were from the transformation), and she soon found out the hard way that stairs were a bit of a new experience for her, tripping up and falling on several of them.

Tasia pranced out of the building and paused on the edge of the sidewalk. Then she shrugged and did a quick set of rotations on one talon, scratching up the concrete a bit. As she did, she noted the policeman down the street, eyeing him a bit nervously.
