[i]An armoured figure in a black VINC exosuit (Tiger/Shadow) slams into Ghost, another figure strides into the room.
He is quite imposing, even though the silhouette only stands at about 6"4. The armour he wears is also made of the black plating, but much more heavier. A katana sheath is also belted to the left side of his waist-- albeit much different. It is mechanical and looks to be highly advanced.
Another heavy armament adorns his shoulder. The silhouette of something large, long and heavy is facing upwards from the back of his armoured right shoulder. A big gun, perhaps?
Ember receives a message in her head. Not enough to feel like it violated her conscious, but enough to convey to strange text content. [/i]

[b]She looks between the figures, then decides to get up to her feet. She chooses to trust the newcomer for now, getting to her feet and ducking over to him.[/b]

[b]he dissapears through the floor with her.[/b] [spoiler]I have a plan. Trust me.[/spoiler]

[b]he grabs her from behind, and she sinks through the floor with him[/b]

*A tendril prevents him from grabbing her, and Shadow wrenches you back towards her*

[b]they all go right through him.[/b] [i]"nice try."[/i] [b]he continues to dissapear until he is gone.[/b]

*Shadow's tendrils go right through the floor and pick both of you up, separating you* "You think a ghost will stop me?" *She pulls you closer, all your attempts to phase through have no effect*
-
[b]he vanishes and reappears right behind Ember, sinking through the floor faster.[/b] [i]"been a while since I had to use that one. And no, in case you haven't noticed, I'm not trying to defeat you. Because you are of no value to me."[/i] [b]as he dissapears, all you hear is chuckling.[/b]

*Shadow turns back to Pheonix* "Great. Now what?"

[i]Gesturing for her to follow, he walks into another room to head for the entrance. For a moment, another figure walked beside him. It was also armoured, but much thinner than the newcomer's heavy plating. But then they just vanished as they neared the doorway. Phoenix remained, still unnerving as ever.[/i] [quote]You're running away from something, that much I can tell for sure. Stay down and tell me who's coming to find you.[/quote]

[b]She stays silent for a few moments, then decides you could have much simpler ways of taking her away. She sighs, having to tell the story so many times.[/b] My father is a noble, I ran away, obviously he's not going to let me go.

[spoiler]I actually had an interesting Idea... :/[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Tbh idk what to do with you, it felt like you were slightly godmodding to get around a real fight :/[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]it's because I knew I would get ganged by people like shadow and Cobalt[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]you weren't going to be actually[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]how do you know that?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Because I would have told them off for one, two being that the only reason they jumped in was because they thought you were godmodding and could stop you.[/spoiler]

[quote]Interesting. Judging from your accent, I'd say you're Japanese. And judging from your moves earlier, you got potential, kid. I'm gonna give you one chance now. I'm a very dangerous man who works for a very dangerous company. You can come with me for safety and I can refine your skills, hone your wits, and teach you things about a blade that you would've never have learnt from anyone else. Or I could leave you here to deal with that tiresome excuse of a mercenary and your father's men. The choice is yours.[/quote]
-
Define "Safety" if you will... And what you wish to teach....
-
[quote]You have potential. You have skill, but not enough yet. You most likely have mastered at least one sword discipline, most likely Oriental. I will teach you more than just that. Knowledge is power, as they say. Ever see the movie Kill Bill? Think of me as Hanzo Hatori, but much more powerful. I'm gonna help your current situation. And then you're going to help mine. [/quote]
-
Yes, of course. I've never seen a movie, no media. And what do you mean by me "helping"?
-
[quote]Well, you need protection, right? If he sent Ghost after you, it's only a matter of time until he sends more assassins after you as well. You have the capability to hold your own. I don't doubt that. But against things like him? You're not ready. I can teach you how to be ready.[/quote]
-
Surely they don't want to kill me, I don't see the point of him doing so, but I see your point. How would you teach me to defend myself from something that can't be touched?
-
[quote]Be it God, Ghost, or Demon, everything bleeds. And if they don't bleed?[/quote] [i]The air around Ember and Phoenix has an abrupt spike in temperature for a moment.[/i] [quote]They burn. Ghost is just the beginning. I know some powerful people who'll do anything to get their hands on you for some quick cash. Myself included, but I see the value of skill over the value of money right now. But if you must know how I'd take down Ghost? Rock salt shotgun shells. Soul traps. Maybe call in a couple of old friends who deal with this supernatural bullcrap. Maybe the Ghostbusters. [/quote] [i]A short chorus of choked laughter comes from beneath the man's helmet.[/i] [quote]Oh, I forgot you weren't exposed to any media. Sad.[/quote]

[b]She takes note of your motivation, finding it as the best one she could hear. "Out of pure kindess" would have sounded suspicious.[/b] I don't think you can burn an ethereal being, or bleed it. You would have to trap him outside of his form, probably when he decides to attack. Maybe find a way to give him incentive not to do so. "Ghostbusters" sounds pretty obvious; they kill ghosts or something along those lines. Don't think I need to watch movies to understand a self explanatory name. Are you one of them?

Edited by Chinkronomicon: 7/25/2015 9:00:00 PM[quote]Eh, not really. Somehow we have all this time to converse, so I'll detail what I do. I work for a PMC called Venom Incorporated. Weapons manufacturing, contracting, and of course, mercenary work. Commander Luis "Cobalt Phoenix" Franco at your service. Part of my job asks of me to have the capability to kill anything. We're not your common-or-garden PMC: we cross dimensions to do our work. Out there is a scary place. You have to expect everything and anything. Could almost drive a man insane if they're not motivated enough. I'm not going to give you all my tricks now. That would defeat the purpose, and might implant some kind of brash thought in your head. Any weapons that can damage a being's soul will probably hurt him though. That's all I'll say. [/quote]
