一 - Surprise Attack

[disguisedsword.livejournal.com]

Well, this is new.

[ And that's saying something, coming from Ragnarok. Though he's lived for quite a long while, suddenly finding himself in what he can sense definitely is not his world is something he can say has never happened before. ]

[ On top of that, he's in his human form. Which didn't make sense to him. The last time this happened was because his partner managed to get shanked and kidnapped by a little girl while he was left to burn with a whore house. All this seems to be is a strange hotel in a different world with— ]

Insane turkeys? I've had worse welcomes. But I was hoping for more of a break before you were kidnapped again, Leroy.

[ Ragnarok's words sound far away, as though said to himself. His nearby, so-far-unnoticed-by-him journal picks up on the possible sounds of a turkey or two being kicked as well. Animal cruelty? Maybe. Annoying? Very. Life-threatening? No. ]

[ There are sounds of a decidedly more lethal nature than kicking. ]

[ OOC: Open through journals or in-person at the lobby. Also backdated to sometime earlier in the day. ]

[ yes, she's more of a....idk 6-month stand, now? 7? |D long....long time. LONGEST TIME HE'S LIKED BEING AROUND A GIRL FOR MORE THAN ONE NIGHT WHO HASN'T DIED YET.





dayum she looks fine in that bikini though. UNF. ]

[ That is a very interesting method of travel. Ceiling walking? Interesting "friend", he can see why she is one. ]

[ And he sees you checking her out, Leroy. Have you no shame? ]

How did you ever manage to get her attention?

[imnotjenkins.livejournal.com]

....Other way around. [ sdkjgsdgsk that is kind of embarrassing ]

[disguisedsword.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there is that, too. She's definitely not your usual type. Or has she tried to kill you yet?

[imnotjenkins.livejournal.com]

Ha ha.

[disguisedsword.livejournal.com]

It's a valid question, Leroy. Especially given the last few women you encountered.

[ But all razzing aside, it is a serious situation with Leroy's loss. ]

...So you honestly don't remember anything about Lena?

[imnotjenkins.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah... [ yes, let's stick to less things that make fun of me ]

...Nothing, no. I barely remember that there was someone who asked me to help find their sister.

[disguisedsword.livejournal.com]

Do you even remember Mana? Or are you remembering Ailey? I didn't want to mention Ailey in front of Ino, given how she died.

[ He isn't going to do too much on purpose to embarrass Leroy in front of his not!girlfriend. At least not until he knows exactly what she knows. ]

But perhaps it's for the best. You didn't seem to be on the best terms with that woman. And there was the fact that she did use us for her own gains.

[imnotjenkins.livejournal.com]

Tch, of course... What more could you expect of an assassin? [ this he says bitterly, but sighs ]

...But I remember Mana and Lily, so don't worry about that. It's just this "Lena" bitch.

[disguisedsword.livejournal.com]

Then, it's just your memories of her and not everything connected to her.

[ He understands the bitterness, even if it started to disappear toward the end of that mission. But yes, totally unsurprising to be used by her. ]

I'll admit I don't know exactly what happened between you and her before we met. You did tell me that you made a promise to yourself that the next time you saw her, you would kill her with your own hands. But you didn't, when she arrived in our hotel.

[imnotjenkins.livejournal.com]

...Didn't we already go over this? [ he knows that vow was pitiful, even if he can't remember who it was for >: ]

[disguisedsword.livejournal.com]

[OOC: If we did, I am so sorry ;; Brain is broken]

Perhaps you'll think twice about what kinds of vows you make in the future. Instead of killing her, you ended up saving her life a couple of times. I'm curious as to what would happen if you vowed to save someone's life.

[imnotjenkins.livejournal.com]

[ ooc; skjdghsjkd no I just meant in canon♥ NO WORRIES BB ]

Very funny. Why the hell would I do all that for some assassin?

[disguisedsword.livejournal.com]

[ Thank you, he does try. Someone has to lighten up the Leroy doom parade. ]

Because Mana's just a little kid. Leaving her to the fate of a whorehouse isn't something either of us could let happen.

And you were also invited to visit another one owned by those thought to have kidnapped her. You were already going there, so seeing about that couldn't hurt at all. [ But we both know how that ended up going. ]

[imnotjenkins.livejournal.com]

[ ....sob yeah, he remembers how nicely Ashley welcome him. AND THEN STABBED HIM 8| ]

Hnn...

[disguisedsword.livejournal.com]

[ Yep, that had been almost difficult for him to watch happen. ]

It did turn out to be something of a cover for her own ends... And we did end up rescuing Mana for our own reasons in exchange for saving Herman. Though it was all for nothing, a little kid was saved. At least Mana won't live the life Ailey had.

[imnotjenkins.livejournal.com]

[ "almost" ]

Yeah... I guess that was good enough. Working for free it still a pain.

[disguisedsword.livejournal.com]

[ It's hard to really worry when he knows you can't die, nor were you really hurt. Watching you get kidnapped was the difficult thing. ]

Yeah. All that hard work, and nothing really to show for it. That woman does owe you a favor, but it won't do a lot of good here.

And I take it you're not a mercenary here, but that you have an actual job?

[imnotjenkins.livejournal.com]

Hired muscle. There's a lot of...messed-up people here. They have powers.

[disguisedsword.livejournal.com]

For you to call them "messed up" they must really be then. [ Pot, meet kettle. ]

And by powers, I'll assume that to mean as something entirely different than the Dark Ones, but closer to what Ino has. [ has definitely never seen a human walk on a ceiling. ]

[imnotjenkins.livejournal.com]

Yeah. [ shut up, heterosexual life-partner ] Most people aren't as powerful as she is....but there's a few freaks here that easily put that bastard Ashgan to shame.

[disguisedsword.livejournal.com]

[ Sorry, but he was never made with a "shut up" mode. ]

[ But that does get his attention. People that powerful around, especially when it took so much out of him to even wound Ashgan... ]

I hope you haven't been picking fights with them often. [ Does not like the thought of Leroy losing control without him around to help stop it. ]

[imnotjenkins.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding me?? There's no way I want to get involved with those idiots. It's bad enough dealing with the ones back home.

[disguisedsword.livejournal.com]

[ His relief, let him show it to you...through this expression. ]

That's good. I was worried for a moment that you were rushing into fights. Or provoking them.

[imnotjenkins.livejournal.com]

[ leroy remains skeptical 8| ]

I don't provoke fights!
