Ha ha ha... Yet another one... I see. So this is your next move. Bravo City! Though I take it as fear than anything! You may have taken one but don't think he's the only joker in the deck. The fun has just begun.
[/post]
[ooc: Many apologies for the misunderstanding on my part the last time I posted this but yuss... Chrno has now left the City and a small package with a picture of Aion and Chrno as young kids and his red scarf was left behind for the sinner. He's a little... ticked that the City took away his sword though he's trying to hold strong. =>W>=;;; Action log for those in Cathedral, voice/text for everyone else unless you want to plot something~<3 Let me know! For Luke-mun and Lore, I have the last comment screened because I wasn't sure if you wanted to respond with that. Please let me know if you want them unscreened. Many thanks!]

Date: 2009-12-19 12:15 am (UTC)And perhaps you'll tell me more. Perhaps you need not be alone with it at all...
[private]
Date: 2009-12-19 12:23 am (UTC)...All right, why not? I'll take your offer. Meet me at the Cathedral. We shouldn't have any problems there.

Date: 2009-12-20 03:11 am (UTC)2/2; [action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2009-12-19 12:39 am (UTC)So she made her way carefully, still glancing every now and hen over her shoulder when she arrived.]
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2009-12-19 12:55 am (UTC)Right on time. Looks like you made it just fine though nervous, are we? Come in. [He moved aside to let her in before anyone sees them.]
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2009-12-19 01:35 am (UTC)[Did she truly look that nervous? She had to control herself more, why didn't she. Rip smiled at him, straightening herself and looking more confident now. Easy, as she wasn't alone out in the streets anymore. Then she quickly slipped inside.]
You've chosen a curious place for a meeting.
[She looked around, having never been inside the City's Cathedral.]
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2009-12-19 03:32 am (UTC)The devil lurks where least expected, don't you agree? Besides, it was where one of my colleagues preferred to be before he too left. That's all there is to it.
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2009-12-19 11:48 am (UTC)The devil, hm? - [Samiel!] ... [Let's hope not.] - I understand. Leaving, returning, all goes in circles.
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2009-12-19 12:38 pm (UTC)Go ahead and have a seat. [Taking out two glasses, he also pulled out a well-aged red wine though he knew what the guest really wanted.]
I assume you'd prefer a different kind of red than this.
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2009-12-20 03:06 am (UTC)Why, yess~, I would! If you have that available...?
[Did he? How curious. She hadn't expected to be served dinner, but that was definitely a plus.]
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2009-12-20 03:27 am (UTC)[Knowing his ally was part of working together, wasn't it? He pulled out a small bottle from the inside of his jacket, showing the content.]
I hope you like young women. [He opened and slowly poured it into the tall glass.] I went through quite a bit for this. [He lightly laughed and opened the wine bottle to do the same for his. Taking both glasses, he walked over to the table and slid it towards Rip.]
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2009-12-20 04:13 am (UTC)Such wonderful hospitality!
[She had never been one to hide her joy, after all.]
Yes, yes, I do! How very thoughtful of you.
[Taking the glass, she wondered if he had gone through those troubles for her sake or if there were other reasons he had bottled blood ready. Hm.]
You must be feeling generous.
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2009-12-20 05:06 am (UTC)[He swiftly took a seat himself and slightly raised his glass before taking a sip.]
Why don't you tell me then, why you'd come all this way just to lend me an ear?
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2009-12-20 07:31 pm (UTC)Do I need a reason? That's what one does, isn't it. Perhaps--
[Rip hesitated. She knew so little of him yet and meeting properly without forced romance between them would improve things as well, she had thought. But those were not suitable for an answer. And perhaps it had been simply reassuring seeing him again after... all that had happened. That was even less of an acceptable answer!
Finally she leant back and restarted her sentence.]
- perhaps I was curious. I never fully understood what he was to you, brother, enemy, comrade. Once he warned me of you, another time it seemed amicable...?
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2009-12-21 12:18 am (UTC)Heh, truly, what merit is there in listening to people's sap stories? However, what grand opportunity to get to know each other better, don't you agree?
[He glanced towards her when she listed the possible connections he had with Chrno and laughed out loud.] Bingo! [He raised his arms.] You've hit every single one. All inclusive at one point or another. He was everything and yet nothing. Pitiful fool corrupt by the system.
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2009-12-23 01:38 am (UTC)[So he understood. Finally she took a sip from her glass, enjoying the taste on her tongue. ♥ But this announcement now startled her.]
Every single... truly? And corrupted. How so?
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2009-12-24 09:15 am (UTC)[How amusing. He figured Chrno would have warned her of why he was to fear due to numerous things he's done in the past. Numerous things he's done to him.]
Then I ask, what are your thoughts of Him?
[He pointed towards the ceiling with a grin, referring to the High O'Mighty above, supposedly watching over them. Another ridiculous assumption.]
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2009-12-25 10:56 pm (UTC)[It wasn't like she had been best friends with Chrono, she had gotten to speak with him only a few times more extensively.]
"Him"? Oh.
[Glancing upwards, she shrugged. What had the Major said to those of the 13th, the Iscariot, - who guarantees me your God isn't mad as well? - a quick, sardonic smile flashed over Rip's face.]
What to say of one who is betting against you? Though one wonders, if he does watch or navigate, he must take pleasure in this ruined, sick world as it is.
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2009-12-27 10:13 pm (UTC)[Aion smirked to Rip's response.] So you're another one who believes such a thing exists?
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2009-12-31 06:43 pm (UTC)[A general you and honest confusion. She truly could not understand, some vampires seemed to try for this, too. Of course, it usually couldn't work. Still, wasn't what they were so much better? Why would you try to pretend that, it didn't make any sense! Humans weren't bad by default, some even rather interesting. But it had to be them being interesting or likeminded, not a being like their own acting confused. The average human... The look on Rips face was one of mixed disbelieve and disgust. She shook her head.]
Not surprising he had been behaving so strangely, then. When he first mentioned being a demon, I thought it a jest! We are not humans, no reason to pretend otherwise or earnestly follow their rules.
[What a question! Her voice softer and more thoughtful.]
Does it, does it not. Who's to say? It's how I was raised. One wonders, being what I am for so long now, but-- [Not entirely gone. Will it ever? Old superstitions die hard, after all. A gesture with upwards turned palm, as if to say can't-be-helped.]
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2010-01-07 12:53 am (UTC)How you were raised... And exactly how were you?
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2010-02-09 10:55 pm (UTC)I am far from being human now. But would you believe I started out as one? Long ago, so long.
[She shrugged lightly.]
What about you?
[A demon - giving the question back was bound to be interesting.]
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2010-02-10 01:49 am (UTC)Believe or not, isn't a human the base to becoming one? At least so I hear.
[He took a seat again and gladly shared the information. The common one at least.]
Me, huh. [He lightly chuckled and sipped.] I'm a spawn of a queen. Pandemonium. [His voice grave as he spoke of that name.] Created to serve and die for the sake of the colony much like how a bee tends to theirs.
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2010-02-11 08:09 pm (UTC)[Spoken with no remorse in her voice, just a dry tone. Forever tied to Millennium, no denying that.
Then she listened, curiously.]
Pandemonium. [Rip repeated, the blue eyes behind the glasses focusing directly on him.] Hm. But you are not a bee, are you.
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2010-02-11 10:28 pm (UTC)Kaspar... was it? [His eyes rolled up to look directly into hers.] Tell me more about that story... [Really indirectly, asking her to tell him more about herself.]
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2010-02-17 07:06 pm (UTC)[Oh? Returning the look, calmer again, tilting her head slightly. Now it was her turn, wasn't it.] Hmm, yes, Kaspar. I told you what is relevant, though I suppose I could tell you the full, original story... [Leaving the possibility like this for a moment, thoughtfully, then she continued in a matter-of-fact tone.] -of course, most of it is just that, a story. I'm Kaspar ...and I'm not. [Stressing it; despite what some would have said, Rip was not so delusional as to think she was entirely Kaspar version 2.0.] He is a tragic figure, in some way sharing his ability and death with me--
Like him, I'm also a hunter, though I hunt different things. So much blood I've spilled for Millennium. [Ah, but that was not the whole truth, was it, they all were monsters-- A pause.] For myself. [And her tongue darted out to lick the blood from her drink on her lips away. Still her voice didn't sound remorseful in the least.]
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2010-02-17 10:46 pm (UTC)"I want war. Glorious, terrible, horrible war.", was it?
[He snickered.] His detailed description was something. A man who truly knew what he wanted. But what particularly caught my attention was his mention of "a great enemy, a true enemy worth warring with for this great war." I don't care what you've spilled blood for. However, seems his ideals are similar to mine. A common enemy and desire to sweep this land clean of everything. If war is what you, Millennium, want. Then a war you shall have.

Date: 2010-02-17 11:52 pm (UTC)Ahh, yes, and war it shall be~! A war to make the Major proud, if he were here. A war to consume it all-- I can assure you, I haven't forgotten about this our enemy either - a full alliance, is it that, Aion?
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2010-02-18 12:17 am (UTC)That's right. Full alliance... [He softly murmured.] For our dreams.
[action]: Drowning the tragedies.
Date: 2010-02-18 12:42 am (UTC)For our dreams. ♪ Cheers~

Date: 2010-02-19 10:34 pm (UTC)Cheers. [He clanked her glass and finished his own in one sip.]
