"What a tiring day. But I don't feel like going back to the hotel to sleep for the night, I heard there was a city Northeast of here. Gronde city was it? There was a sighting of the Dark Lady up in Passacaglian heights. You two want to join me going there?" Mathew asked Butdude and Felix. If they followed.

[TehPwner]

"Wahoo! Adventure! I mean, that would be nice. Let's go guys! starts walking and realizes that he's going the wrong way. "Oops." He promptly turns around and says "Now we shall go, If Felix wants to.

[Raro]

"I suppose he'll catch up" Mathew spoke. Then turned towards to northeast. "There's the Lazarian Region. We'll need to take a ferry overnigth to get there" Mathew said.

The ship was nearing the shore, and as it landed, Mathew walks towards it. "This is it. Got all your things?" Mathew asked Botdude.

[TehPwner]

"Yeah, let's go." Botdude walks on the the ship and puts his stuff down. He starts hoisting the sail and then raises the anchor and then starts waiting for Mathew. "Hey, ready when you are!"

[Raro]

"Sure thing!" Mathew said. He climbs aboard the boat. The captain was already there, "ehh, robotman! This is a ferry! Not a sailboat! But you give me a good laugh, one I havent had in a while. Glad to see the two of you aboard." Otehr people were on the ferry as well, there was a party downstairs it seemed. But upstairs was dead silent. "ALll aboard!? Ok! We set sail!!!" The captain shouted. And the ferry begant o head towards the region in the far distance over dark waters.

"Botdude. What do you want to do? Join the party? Or go upstairs? It's... dark"

[TehPwner]

"Wait here for a few seconds." Botdude quickly rushes to his room, put down his luggage, gets changed into a bathing suit, and runs back. "I think I'll be joining the party(can it be a pool party pretty please!!!)" He rushes to the pool and jumps in shouting "Cannonballlllllll!!!!!!!"

[Sharpe]

"Wow, this is one 'elluva ferry if it has a pool on it. I don't have any bags to put down but this top floor intrigues me." Felix said as he looked into the black morass of the second floor. "Odd how it remains dark even though its midday."

[Raro]

(((It's ngihttime iin case you hadn't caught on that fireworks are usually displayed when the sky s dark, but that's okay. you know now)))

Mathew looked around, "Botdude, you can stay at the pool, but right now. The top floors are really tempting" He looks up towards the top. Suddenly a ghostly chill ran down his spine. *What was... that? It certainley wwasn't a thought... it was a feeling...* He looks around a bit more. The bottom floors looked lively, but the top. It reminded him of soemthin very ghastly, and dark. He takes a second look, *a ghost ship!?* He screams in his mind, blinks then looks again, *wait... that was only my imagination...* "Something about it strikes me as very... eerie, makes me itch to go explore. Felix? youw ith me on this?"

[Sharpe]

(First person in each topic please describe the situation on the boat and not in a box. In an RP post.

"Yeah, sure. I don't know what I was thinking about midday. Oh well, shall we?" said Felix gallantly. He approached the bottom of the stairs which were dark black in the shadows.

[Raro]

(((yay! Sharpe is leading also! Now we're getting somewhere in RPing. abotu the first description, that's a good idea.)))

"I'm not so sure about this, now that I'm here, but you'll never know until you try" Mathew spoke, and takes the first step upon the stairs. To his suprise, there was no loud creak, and crackling wood. *They're not THAT old* Mathew thought and took antoehr step, eventually, making his way to the top. There was a doorway in front of him, it loked like a dining area, but there was anotehr fligth of stairs behind him.

[Kit]

At the other end of the flight of stairs, an aura was building. It was turbulent, unstable, as there was light and dark energy constantly clashing with each other. The figure waited for its prey to come.

The person was androgynous looking, with short dark turquoise and golden hgihlights and piercing golden eyes with brown specks. The person was lean but muscular, with two large bat wings protruding from the back. Strangely enough, there were a few black feathers along the lining of the wings.

The figure pulled out a chain with a blade at the tip and twirled it around. Soon... soon...

[Raro]

"Something's not... right" Mathew whispered as the air grew cold. He looked around wildly and found his opponent. A mysterious shdaowy figure, "Who is it! come out and show yourself!"

[Kit]

The figure stepped out of the shadows, its appearance had changed within seconds.



Without saying a word, it whipped its chains around Matthew, attempting to crush every bone in its body.

Help...me...

[Raro]

Mathew gasped for air as his body was being wrapped tighter, *Why's this thing asking for help!?* He thought, *It seems troubled, yet it's attacking me... wait. What's that mark!?* He had noticed the pentagram mark, *It can't be!!!* Pulling out his sword and slicing open the chains, Mathew jumped backwards, against the balcony ledge, there was a guard to keep him from falling. He quickly turned around, the drop was steep, would he make it? *I won't be able to, I've got to find anotehr way, hope Felix can get up here...!* Mathew ducked and rolled to the side, then made a run for it, up the second flight of stairs.

[Sharpe]

Felix took three bounding steps and was at the top of the steps, sword drawn and ready for combat. "I would ask you to surrender but we don't have any way to keep prisoners. Sorry for being overly pragmatic. I guess your just not lucky."

Felix whirled into a wicked slash aimed for this new fiends leg. It was heavily exaggerated to draw the enemies attention and to gauge this foes competence and dexterity. With a little luck it could even be a crippling blow.

[Raro]

"Felix! I don't think you should mess with him! I have a feeling I know him from somewhere..." mathew gasped as he continued to speed up the stairs, practically trippig as he reafched the next platform. Not looking voe rthe edge, Mathew readied his sword for a suprise attack on the person when they flew up looking for him.

[Kit]

In order to dodge Felix's attack, the demon (I'll call him that for convenience) teleported. He reappeared right behind Matthew.

The spikes in his wings extended right then and there, piercing all four of Matthew's limbs.

Let the blood spill, an everflowing crimson cataract.

Meanwhile, the demon had sent parts of his own soul, ravenous monsters, after Felix. Scrambling their way down the stairs, they greeted him with hungry stares.

[Sharpe]

As the freakish demon heads began to crawl towards him Felix whirled into a swinging deflection atack. Anything that got close to the whirling blade would either be batted a side or cut in half. The only problem was he couldn't keep it up for long. "This is looking grim." muttered Felix. He slowly edged backwards under the continued assault. One of the fiends jumped up and snatched at Felix's lapel before being swept away.

Mathew looked like he was down for the count and their wasn't anything Felix could do for him in his current predicament."Mathew, I may be forced to abandon you for the time being. Truly, I give you as much regard as anyone else I know but my health takes priority." He regarded Mathew with a nod.

"So with that," he turned and made a sweeping bow balanced on the railing with one foot dangling over the edge as he drew it back "I bid you gentleman goodnight." Felix took a step backwards and then Felix's old rival, gravity, caught up with him and pulled him down two stories into the dark salty water. He submerged and began to swim for the nearest shore which would hopefully be close to Trillhead Island.

[Raro]

"What! Coward!" Mathew shouted, quickly urning around and using his readied sword to parry the piercing blows, they still hit, but he didn't take much real damage, "But this doesn't look to good, if it keep up, I may have to bail too." He spoke, dodging backwards, against the wall, and unleashing a cyclone to try and fend off the monster, then following up with a barrage of light array!

[Sharpe]

(Raro, umm, I thought you got stabbed through all of your limbs at once. You can't move much after that.)
