The Trickster meets the 'vampire'.

(OOC: sorry trying to watch at the same time)

IC: Krowley, A man with a fairly tall figure and a pale/fair skin tone dropped down from a banister. "My apologies, I didn't know you had arrived and got hungry..." his teeth slowly returned to they're positions as his mucles calmed themselves and he gently ran the back of his wrist over his lips to clean off possible akuma blood. As Allistar looked back at the man who seemed a bit impatient but eternally smiling. "Shi-Shizu....Shizu...I'm sorry I seem to have misplaced your name somewhere at the back of my mind." He seemed a bit nervous about this, as his face slowly shifted to slight embaressment.


So this is my contact...he seems a little suspicious, but that could also just be my judgment of his appearance and that smile...

(*did research* it's Arystar Krory...^^; )

Arystar almost grimaced at the sliver of the eyes...they were piercing and dark. The sorrow they held wasn't something Krory cared to question but he kept his eyes from locking with this man's. "Arystar Krory...may I ask, what do you mean by...'game'?" He tensed up a little bit. This hadn't been mentioned about the meeting, but then again, this man was odd, with a slightly dark aura about him...It gave even Krory who was mistaken for a vampire, the chills. Even so, he wore the Exorcist's cloak and pendant.

Arystar blinked and almost froze in place as a sweatdrop formed at his brow. "N-No...it doesn't." Arystar was a bit creeped out by the way Shizutsi said what he had..."I'm not a vampire if that's what your implying, at least not a vampire that feasts on Human blood." Krory ran after the man when he realized he was talking to himself due to falling behind. "W-Wait up!"

He caught up to the odd figure with the odd disturbing grin plastered to his face, "So where are we headed? if you don't mind my curiosity..." At the moment Krory was busy trying to figure out this guy's personality...and also why he had a walking stick, when his walking was perfectly fine. This is one strange person...hard to tell what gender too, sounds like a man, but a slightly femanine appearance, with a mix in behaviour.

Arystar couldn't figure out even one inch of this guy, girl...whatever. He'd been informed he was mysterious but this was creepy. And why must this person insist on flirting with me? I know Lenalee told me not to worry about it, but it's kinda hard when the person is so blunt about it... A chill ran down Krory's spine and he tried to think about the task at hand.

"So there are level 2 Akuma here...just how did you plan on turning this into a game?" His fangs were quivering with excitement, they were hungry and he could sense the Akuma's presence within the tavern. He's quite accurate about what level the Akuma were...was he informed or did he just know?...either way...I've been getting a little hungry walking this whole way. A small smirk quirked the edges Arystar's lips.

Arystar hadn't had a chance to react when he was pushed on stage, and after the second trick he almost fell for the act himself...had it not been for his instincts that kept him alert of the Akuma.

After the waitress headed away from the table Krory looked over at the person across from him. "Possibly too much? I mean we didn't need to go up on stage for everybody to see did we? I mean...did I do alright in your act? Could you show me how you did some of that?" Krory's serious tone became more of a curious one as he hit the last couple questions. He almost didn't notice the people approaching the table. Are those the Akuma? or are they seriously people who plan on playing cards...?

Arystar smirked at the other Akuma, "So that leaves me and you alone...Could you tell me how long you've been an Akuma? So i can confirm wether Akuma blood is like fine wine, getting better with age." Krory's teeth shone brilliantly in the moonlight, the whites of his eyes turned to match the dark of night and a golden ring sorrounded the pupil. His eyes locked onto the Akuma and he almost grinned.

(OOC: want me to RP the Akuma I'm fighting? lol)

ooc: Sure.

The akuma Shizutsi was fighting, was no weakling. Heck, even someone as fast as Lenalee would have had trouble. Shizutsi really had to give this one all the speed he had. "You think you can dodge me forever?! Just stay still and di-aaaagh!" The akuma screamed and got a deep wound on it's side. "Sorry, dying kinda doesn't fit to my plans. I still have too much things to do and too many games to play~!" Shizutsi said and threw a smokebomb on the demons head. As it was blinded for a moment, Shizutsi jumped at it and tried to cut it's head in two. The akuma dodged and the battle went on.

*The following happens after Aryastar has beaten the akuma he's fighting*

Shizutsi panted a bit as the battle still went on. Shizutsi was starting to get a bit slower. This was enough for the akuma, and it wounded Shizutsis side deeply, tearing off his coat and shirt at the same time. Shizutsi let out a long, loud and suffering scream as the wound was burning. That was the akumas ability. "Haha! DIE!" The akuma said. In a blink of an eye, it's head was cut off. "Lesson number 1. NEVER drop your guard." Shizutsi said and put the sword back, making it look like a normal walking stick again. "Now this *Cough* Was not... My plan..." He said and fell on his stomach. At least his upper part of the body was a mans. He panted a bit, hiding his face as he was no longer grinning. Blood was all over his blond curly hair and his hat was on the ground, along with his torn coat and shirt.

Arystar had been paired up to his advantage, the Akuma was Slow in more ways than one. It showed signs that it had only recently reached it's second level. "Damn Excorsist...Stop moving!" The akuma's disformed face launched what seemed to be akuma bullets, only about 5x bigger than level 1. His forehead acted like a canon and launched out bullets that could stop any frieght train.

Krory only smirked and dashed in at a high rate of speed, ducking under a fired missle and landing on the Akuma's side he dug his teeth in and rather than injecting into the Akuma in attempts to kill it he began to drink...drink the blood from his victims being.

"Let go of me! Your no exorcist! Your a freaking vampire!!" The Akuma desperatly turned and flailed in attempts to rid itself of this menace, but it just didn't have the energy left to shake Krory...Had he not been yelling he probably could have saved enough energy to remove the leech. And thus Arystar feasted, and once he finished there was nothing left of the Akuma.

*After the fight*

Arystar made his way through the forest to find his companion, and when he found the body laying motionless on the ground he dashed over quickly and picked him up carefully. "Hey, Are you alright?! We need to get you back to the order where they can heal you...or a Hospital, or something. Please say something..."

Krory carefully lifted him, and noticing his hat on the ground, picked it up and handed it to Shizutsi, "I'll get you to the Order right away so they can help you recover." Krory shifted him so he could carry the man comfortably, and took off at a fair speed, but not something that would make Shizu uncomfortable. We should be there soon....it's not far, and I know they can help...

(OOC: post in the black order thread? or what?)

Krory opened the door slowly, and walking over set a tray of sweets and food on the desk by Shizutsi's bed. "Are you awake?" This was almost whispered, partially as a possible excuse to leave if he felt uncomfortable. The man...looked peacful...and femanin...which still wierded out Arystar. But the wierd grin was gone, and he looked almost like a decent human being...if it weren't for the fact his mid section looked like it came from a zombies torso.

Arystar couldn't bring his eyes up to look at Shizu's, tehy were piercing, dark, cold, and sorrowful...not something that anyone enjoyed looking at. Instead he twiddled his thumbs and sat in the chair next to the bed. "It was nothing..." He continued to twiddle his thumbs at lack of words to say. He looks strangely human...and the more human he looks, the more femanin he looks. Odd, but still...at least it doesn't send shivers down my spine...

Arystar blinked a few times...the smile now wasn't creepy at all, more of a friendly smile..."R-Right...but still...You don't owe me anything...It wasn't that big a deal really, I was just helping a friend." This guy confused and intrigued Krory, he was like a book that changed stories every time you flipped the page...completely unreadable, but one thing was certain. He wasn't a bad guy despite ocassionally being a bit odd.

Krory looked over at Lenalee and nodded, "Alright..." He saw her shared concern for Shizu through her smile...speaking of smiles, Arystar turned back to Shizu and almost jumped out of his skin when he saw the grin had returned. Well...it was fine while it lasted I guess... He sighed as he calmed himself down. Plenty of thoughts filled his head, both about this man and about their next task. Such as what the innocence they were suppose to find would be like.
