I'm watching.
I'm watching you scramble, all confused. "But this one is HARD!" "But where do we even START?"
You make me laugh. Call yourselves sorcerers when you can't even identify six of the most well-known magical alphabets in the world?
Time is a-ticking, and skulduggery@harpercollins.co.uk are awaiting your responses EVER so anxiously.
I've decided that if you can't figure out where I am in the next three days, I'm going to kill one of you. Because I know who you are.
And I'm watching.

*is still trying to work out what to do with my mask*
*Hurumph*)
*nods, in the middle of another sip*
*sighs, content*
This, is heavenly.
*grins*
*takes another sip*
That's slighty demeaning!
Sorry Viv. I doubt you'd like mine. It's been spiked.
Hunter: @Viv: You can have some too, if you like. I imagine you'd want it without the blood, though.
((Hunter: Star was designing hers today. I'd advise looking up pictures for inspiration, seeing what you like and what you want to try.))
Hunter: *grins happily* Glad you like it.
I've had blood before...it's not too bad. Unless it's human. I don't drink blood from any human I didn't kill.
(I'm just going to throw stuff together and hope it works out..)
*downs the remainder of her cup*
*pours more from her flask*
*sips that*
(I'm thinking of having the music from bar 39 of 21 guns on it)
Hunter: I think that was human . . .
I'll just make you a bloodless one.
*finds another full flask of it* *it's his last flask* *passes it to Viv with another clean foam coffee cup*
((Hunter: @Snow and Silente on masks: Well, if you want to do that, you do that.
And you can always try it.))
Hunter your blood is amazing.
*downs her cup, to impatient to sip*
*pours the remainder of the flasks contents into the cup*
*holds it close to her, absorbing its heat*
*drinks the hot chocolate*
Thanks.
Hunter: @Silente: I know. *smiles*
*presses one of her palms against her face a moment and smiles*
(Ok I need opinions here. Should I change my profile pic to something cheery?)
(Is Viv cheery?)
(He was earlier...)
(And it seems I'm back.)
(Is he now?)
*has slight tears in her eyes*
(A little less)
Sil, what's wrong?
I feel human...
*lowers her hand, holding the cup in it and offering the other one to Viv*
Look.
((Hunter: @Viv: If you want to. Bear in mind it's harder to seem serious, though.
Wb, Dragona.))
Hunter: *watching exchange*
*looks*
What do you mean?
(Says this softly not annoyingly)
*observing exchange carefully
*without seeming like he is
*or hopefully without seeming like he is
*observing often involves . . . looking. It's not the most discreet thign
((I can always pull off serious))
((Hunter: *shrugs* Then go for it.))
*grabs his hand gently, the warmth from the hot chocolate having heated her palm to a human temperature*
Hunter: *casually texts Ez to leave them to their moment a bit* |Hey Ez, the world might be doomed.|
*his hands are always warm*
*lifts his eyes to hers*
You're warm.
*smiles*
It makes me seem human...
*returns her hand to the cooling hot chocolate*
I hadn't thought about the fact that hot chocolate would do that...
*whispers to Hunter*
I think that Silente may be indoctrinated.
You don't need heat to be human.
*moves his hand to hers*
And if you do need heat, you can always borrow some of mine.
*glares at Sophia*
Just because you're whispering doesn't mean I can't hear you.
*drinks the rest of her hot chocolate, handing back the flask ans mug*
((The pic may be overkill))
(I might leave, Sil)
Hunter: *whispers back to Sophia* Yeah.
This might be kind of sucky.
*wonders if he can convert vampires (turn them into etherdemons) which might cure it*
*looks at Viv*
Humans are warm blooded.
((Star: @Viv: XD XD))
Hunter: *recieves flask and mug* Thank you. :)
Hunter: *clears throat* You can't have to be human to be a person.
(I like that profile picture....)
*don't
I think we should put her in quarantine. Somewhere where we can sort it out. It's the safest course of action. Otherwise we'll effectively have a sleeper agent in plain sight.
Hunter: Hey.
We have no guarantee she's actually indoctrinated yet.
Sophia, how many times must I say this, I. Am. Fiiiiiine.
Then why dont we see if we can kill and revive her?
Loki you are not killing me.
Hunter: Hey.
Silente is friend. People do not kill friends.
Which is why I suggested using quarantine over using a pistol, Hunter.
And actually... Killing her then reviving her could work...
Hey wow wow wow slow down do I not get a say in this? Because my say is hell no! You aren't killing me! OR putting me in quarantine!
Then lets do it, I rather be safe then sorry.
You are nor blooming killing me!
No. We need confirmation that she is indoctrinated before we kill her. If we kill her.
We just have to assume that from this moment, she's transmitting information to them.
She IS here right now you know!
Hunter: Information about what, that bloody chocomelt rocks?
Yeah. Killing and reviving could work. IF she was indoctrinated. WHICH we have no proof about.
*A sound like massive wings is heard above the gathering, a few second later Blake lands in their midst. Two large bat-like wings shrinking into his back*
So uh... why are we killing people? I thought that was something we tried to stay away from.
Hunter: *corrects* Left now.
Hunter: Hey Blake.
Silente could possibly be turning into a zombie robot thing. It's cool.
No. Think about it. If we talk about killing the Reapers - like we already have done - they'll know. They'll know how to avoid it. As well as the fact they could analyse us as people. Find out our weaknesses.
They want to kill me for no reason!
Hunter: *eyes snap to grey* Left.
Gotcha.
*nods at Sophia*
Okay, let's talk about currency.
Interesting, so we're going to kill her for that? Sounds a bit extreme.
No reason, Silente? Hunter just gave his reason. Although I'm more than open to your argument.
Hunter: We're not GOING to kill her.
We're going to talk about currency.
You have no idea, Blake.
*nods at Hunter* Alright. Currency sounds good.
These two seem to think that some now dead robot is mind controlling me, because of a headache.
No one will be killing my sister except me ^.^
As in money? I don't see how that's relevant right now... Also Sohpia, you're right, I don't have any idea, that's why I asked.
Hunter: @Silente: Okay, we we're paranoid and suspicious.
Sorry.
Anyone know a paranoid and suspicous currency?
Hey Chi.
*facepalm*
*mutters into her hand about crazy people*
Hunter: Left now.
*blinks at Blake* How is it NOT relevant left now?
How can a Robot be dead? Unless it was a cyborg it was never alive to begin with, just functional.
*Hugs Chi, lifting her up off the ground*
Hey there perfect ^-^
Hunter; *is very crazy, don't worry*
Sophia, you, are, PARANOID!
*hugs him tighter and kisses him* Hey handsome.
I second that statement, Silente!
Thank you Blake!
...hey if both you and Chi are here...who's with the twins?
I might be, Silente. But you haven't seen those things threaten to wipe out almost all life in the galaxy. You didn't see what they did. I was there. I saw.
Silente is my blogland sister. And also a vampire.
Hello again Xanadu. *grins*
Apparently Silente does, also you share a last name with the first name of an ancient being that until a little while ago was sealed inside me and wanted to take over my body and destroy everything. Pleasant chap he was.
Hunter: @Xanadu: Silente might possible be a robot.
It's cool.
*possibly
*eyes grow wide and runs to the house where the twins are still asleep in their pram*
*takes a sigh of relief and takes the pram to everyone else*
Ooooh New person. I like New people...
*looks Xanadu up ans down*
*stalks slowly forwards, circling him(?)*
Hmm..
Hunter, no. She might have her mind controlled by one. There's a difference.
((Silente, he's my friend, take it easy.))
Hunter: Hi, Xanadu. Can I call you Xan? I'll call you Xan. What is your opinion of erasers?
Hunter: @Sophia: *shrugs* Yeah, but a minimal one. Still acting like a robot.
((IHAKSJDBSAJDJHK ADAM MY FRIEND HOW ARE YOU?!))
(Oh btw I'm John)
(Gem Gem told me)
(*pouts* if I must....does he get told the same thing?)
(Hey Xanadu.)
((Yay! my best friend irl and my bf irl are friends and are going to beat the shit out of each other! woo!))
(I'll use the twins to cheer for both of you.
I think Lira is a daddy's girl so she'll be cheering for daddy. Lucas will be cheering for Adam.)
Hunter: @Xan: No, call Star Star. Star isn't here at the moment. I'm Hunter. Hi.
They are useful. *nods, eyes grey*
*keeps circling, each step taking her a fraction closer to Xanadu*
*eyes burning bright*
*Quietly sits by the side, intrigued by Xanadu*
*Walks up beside Silente, shoving her to the side lightly*
Dibs...
*takes the twins out of their prams and sits them on her knee*
*raises Lira's hands*
Go daddy!
Think of it as an initiation ceremony, just our little thing we do.
Hunter, do you have anywhere safe we could put Silente if our suspicions are correct? I'd put her on my ship, but under Reaper control she'd probably be able to escape.
*stops and looks at Blake*
Dibs?! He's not a toy Blake. Plus I had already started. Get in line ugly.
((Adam do you not want to fight John and discover what you can do with your magic? mine was hardly a proper blogfight.))
((Star: Hunter's a character of mine.
He's also kind of annoying.
Sorry. D:
Hi!))
Hunter: Hey Adra. :)
((Silente please! I wanna see these two fight :D))
Hey Hunter..
I'll knock you all the way back to your treehouse shorty, I called him before you.
Hunter: @Sophia: Well . . . only my house.
Which has a safe room in it.
Hunter: *smiles at Adra*
((Hey Adra :D))
:l
((Hey Adra ^.^))
(-_-) (Fine.)
*sighs and stalks back over to Sophia and Hunter*
Okay, you
*points at Sophia*
Stop being paranoid and you
*points at Hunter*
Please don't EVER talk about currency again.
Hey..
*Takes a ready stance a few meters from Xen, leaving the sword at his side in its scabbard and his shield on his back*
Let's see if you can make me draw my weapon newbie...
*The Asgardians look around, ready to fight*
That sounds... Adequate. Alright, so if we're right we can put Silente in your safe room?
Hunter: *blinks at Silente* Currency is a fascinating subject.
*raises Lira's little hands again*
Woo! go daddy!
Hunter: AlLEFT, so if we're LEFT.
Yes, we can. It's pretty secure.
*glares at Sophia*
Okay. I'm going to presume you are either deaf or thick. I. Am not. Going. In. Some. Random. Room. Okay?
Right.
*Notices the fighting, and doesn't want to be close to the action without Alastair there* *Quietly leaves*
Hunter: Only if you're indoctrinated.
Hunter: Oh. :( Bye, Adra . . .
Yup, it's a frequent thing here. Plus we all want to see what you can do, it's our way of feeling out new people. So let's do it.
Demonic release!
*Blake's arms change instantly, his skin becomes grey, black spikes growing from his shoulders, his nails elongating into deadly claws. He charges at Xen, claws flashing rapidly in front of him*
Silente, you have not a choice.
*looks at Blake*
My god he gets uglier...
*looks at Hunter*
And how will you even know that??
*drags Hunter out of earshot*
Alright. I hope you understand that we can't use your house any more. She knows about it. They could know about it.
However, it presents an opportunity. They will target your house. And as they land, their shields are weaker than normal because most of their power does into the landing itself.
I think, maybe, I could kill a few that way. If Silente is indoctrinated she'll feed them information. But we could use that to our advantage.
Hunter: You know, I feel out new people by asking them about erasers.
It's a lot easier, less time-consuming and expends less energy.
*starts texting Ez the positives of immitent doomsday* *he thinks she's asleep* *she's not replying*
No Loki, you have no choice. You don't get a say in this.
Hunter; Hey.
My house is a teleporting house that can only be accessed by portal.
*punches Silente, hard enough to hopefully knock her out*
*About a meter before he would crash into Xen he stops dead, instead thrusting out an arm. A ball of chaotic flames erupts from his hand, quickly expanding to cover a radius of three meters as it rockets forwards*
Hunter: *swings round from his convarsation with Sophia* LOKI, WAS THAT NECESSARY?
THE ANSWER IS NO.
*turns back*
*eyes turn pale blue*
You did NOT just knock out my sister.
*dodges the punch, almost falling over as she gets a head rush*
Argh!
*shakes her head*
I did it so we could move her, without feeding information.
((Hunter: Hmm. Then I might not have noticed it. Ignore me, then.))
*appears behind her and hits her with the sceptre, in the back of the head*
*The blow his the shield strapped to Blake's back under his cloak. He simply snarls and whips around, claws flashing in the dim light*
((Hits*))
*puts the twins back into their prams quickly and thunders towards Loki, Katanas at each side*
I don't hate you Loki. But you will not hurt my sister.
*swipes at him*
Don't use any weapons. We want our armament to be a surprise.
*vanishes, and appears away from Chione*
*clutches the back of her head and falls over*
*rolls onto her back and kicks at Loki's knee*
Hunter: LOKI.
*fires a beam of energy at him*
She may be fine!
*stands in front of her* Are you ok...?
No! People can't seem to get it through their thick skulls that some stupid robot IS NOT CONTROLLING MY BRAIN!
Unless they upgrade her with cybernetics, the more she is indoctrinated, the less physically capable she will become. We can tell this way. But then again, if I was a Reaper I'd want to keep indoctrination to a minimum so she could act normally so no one would expect anything.
(lol Adam. Nice one)
Silente Calm down, I know that there isn't.
*helps her up*
*Blake jumps back a moment before the punch was thrown, as though he knew it were coming*
Please, you'll have to be faster than that to outrun my eyes.
*He positions his elongated arms on either side of Xen and lets lose with the hellfire once more*
*ducks away from the beam* Fine!
*nods and gets up*
*glares at Loki and Sophia*
*goes to sit by the twins*
*goes to sit beside Silente and takes them back out of their pram*
Sil who are you cheering for?
Hunter: *fires another beam* Yes, my beams are very fine.
New guy all the way.
(lol Hunter!)
Chione, you might not want to have her around your children. Not until we know for sure if there's anything wrong.
*hands her Lucas*
There you go. You and Lucas can cheer for Adam.
*looks at Lira* Me and you are going to be cheering for daddy ^.^
((Hunter: @Chi: Thank you. :)))
*smiles down at Lucas*
Hello. Adam all the way yeah?
*bounces Lucas up ans down*
You've grown!
Sophia, shut the hell up right now. She is their Aunt. She will spend time with my children. I do not believe she is being controlled by a bloody robot, get a grip of yourselves!
*His eyes glow red for a moment as he releases more demonic power into himself, his arms grow in muscle mass and he begins to bombard the shield with punches*
*whispers to Lucas*
Look. Daddy got uglier!
Hunter: @Chi: Fine.
When she kills them, don't come running to me.
*unconcernedly sends a work text to a work person*
Hunter: @Silente: *laughs*
*sighs, and goes back by his sister* May I hold Ricci?
Zanida: Perhaps. *goes over by Chione, holding Ricci*
*lucas giggles*
*raises Lira's arms*
Go daddy go!
*feels a flash of anger go through her at hunters words*
*ignores it*
Hello Zanida! How are you and the little one?
(*glares at Hunter*)
*grins*
*bounces Lucas up and down in time with the chanting*
Two, four, six, eight
Who do we appreciate?
Not daddy, He's ugly! Goooo newbie!
((Hunter: *shrugs at Chi*))
Hunter, why won't people listen? I understand that it's hard to take in but there's no reason to argue against it. Especially when they've already bloody invaded. Or at least, one of them did.
((Hunter: @Xan: Not here, that's for sure.))
((@Xen: Hear hear! There's a ded I can get behind!))
Hey, Soph, come here a minute.
((Well then, I'm going to go to sleep now.
*hands Lira to Silente*
Look after them until Blake is finished.
GO BLAKE! beat him up baby ;)
Night everyone! *hugs everyone online and ghosting*))
Zanida: We're alright, Ricci is very good at waking us up when she's hungry.
Hunter: *shrugs at Sophia* Sometimes people don't like to believe in the worst.
*his eyes darken slightly for a moment*
*shifts Lucas to the side so theirs room for Lira*
*bounces them both up and down*
*approaches Silente cautiously* What do you want?
(bye Chi!)
((Oh by the by you might want to do something about the demonically powered swordsman wailing on your shield))
((By Chi! Love you!))
Hunter: *shrugs at Sophia* Sometimes people don't like to believe in the worst.
*his eyes darken slightly for a moment*
*rolls her eyes*
I vant to suck jour blood!
*laughs*
No I'm kidding I wanna whisper something to ya.
SILENTE YOU BE CAREFUL WHILE YOU'RE HOLDING MY CHILDREN.
Don't worry i wont drop them!on't wo
What do you want to whisper?
..well telling you without whispering would make the whispering kinda redundant wouldn't it now?
*smiles at the twins*
*bounces Lira up and down*
*kisses the top of her head*
Cutie.
*hugs Lucas*
*laughs and lets go when he doesn't seem very happy*
*leans in so Silente can whisper to her, but as she does so secretly draws her pistol and aims it at Silente's neck, but doesn't let it touch so she should be none the wiser*
*whispers quietly*
Okay listen to me. Don't ever tell chi I can't hold her kids. Ever. I plan to look after them and see them whenever I can, and you can't stop that. Secondly, you call yourself a law enforcer and yet you were prepared to let Loki knock me out with due reason? That's just plain wrong. And finally, stop with this robot mind control hocum. It's making you seem crazy. Ta dealing.
*pats her cheek*
*Each punch is met by Blake's claws, his eyes seem to move to each point of contact before it happens*
*Laughs* I can read your every move. I know you're new so I'll lay this out for you simple-like.
*He slashes a few more times, catching every punch*
I give every opponent I face a single chance to surrender, here's yours.
*bounces the twins*
Hey Lira, look, Daddies being a silly billy!
*laughs*
*holds Lucas carefully*
Aww. You seem sleepy...
Very well, the gloves come off.
*He leaps backwards, arms returning to normal. He slowly draws his pitch black longsword and shield, relishing the feeling of their weight*
Those who have faced my blade and lived say it's far deadlier than even a 70% release... how long will you last, I wonder?
*Massive bat-like wings grow from his back, covering Xen in their shadow. His slit-pupil eyes narrow, and he dashes forwards lead by his blade*
*sighs* I have no idea what makes you think you can tell me what to do. If I see someone who could be indoctrinated, allowing them to go near children is just bloody stupid. Until we know whether you are or not, I will continue to warn people. Hunter sees the seriousness of the threat. And I've fought the Reapers before. I've seen video logs of scientists studying the Reapers become indoctrinated and willingly turn themselves into Husks. I will not allow you to hurt yourself or anyone else - and that is something I can stop you from doing.
Under the circumstances, I don't think Loki was far out of line. I think he was justified. At least he recognised the threat. And at least he was going to do something about it.
People can call me crazy for all I care. I have a job, and I'm going to do it. I couldn't care less of what other people think.
((80%*))
(Seems I have to go now. Bye!)
((Cya Dragona, we won't let Silente hurt anyone IF she does have a killer robot in her! :D))
And as I said Sophia, I'm not under some robots control. And you aren't locking me up. Okay?
*smiles sweetly*
*turns back to the twins*
*starts rocking Lucas and humming 'once upon a December*
Sophia and Loki, because they're paranoid.
