Nooses

"No its more than alright, by the way," he added giving her body a general sweep. "You seem quite cold do you have somewhere to sleep tonight?" He asked in a voice that sounded generally concerned as his eyes returned to look into hers. "I have no attention of prying if you don't wish to tell it would just be such a shame for someone with such beautiful eyes to freeze."
Craven knew he was laying it on a little thick but the girl, however lost, was particularly oozing of good. Beings of the lower ring were assisting the "angels" so the instant he met the confused and obviously lost girl he decided to send a message to them. They weren't as superior as they thought there own could be easily turned against them with the ways of this world as it is.

A sharp shiver went down Mineko's spine. Relief came and wnet quickly, washed away with sudden confusion and a sort of perplexed fear. There was nothing in this person's voice or face that appeared threatening at all, so why did she feel an overwhelming desire to turn and run as fast as her weak legs could carry her?
"Well, no, I do not have a place," she murmured in the same soft voice, loosening her grip on her shawl and scarf just a tiny bit. A faint pink color lightly kissed her cheeks as she recalled that this kind stranger had called her eyes beautiful. The eyes that were commonplace in her world were obviously very misplaced in this one and were a source of constant discomfort.

[Aiden]

"BOOM! head shot!"

[kukutaru_ookami]

Craven reached his hand out slightly to the girl making sure to keep eye contact. If she took his hand under direct eye contact it would be proof that she was unaware of his true identity. He had a tendency to keep his eyes half closed since as the middle ring's saying went 'the eyes are the windows to the soul' and he couldn't hide his malice well in his cold red eyes. "Well I live alone so really its no trouble for me, miss uhh." He let out a slightly nervous chuckle, "we've been talking all this time and don't even know each others names, I'm Lan and you are?"
Craven wasn't exactly sure when he decided on that alias but it seemed to fit his face well, or at least thats what the middle rings beings always said. He personally didn't understand how anyone could look like anything he always mentally shuddered at the phrase 'you look like a...'. As he watched the girl he saw slight signs of discomfort and began working on a plan if he was discovered or if she ran in fear.

Until that point, Mineko had been holding tightly onto her shawl and scarf since both hide her wings and halo quite well. Slowly, though either willingly or unconsciously, she had begun to loosen her grip on the scarf so it now hung loosely around her neck as she blinked a few times and looked up into the stranger's eyes. The glowing halo that had once graced the area above her head was embedded so tightly round her neck it looked as though any attempt to remove it would sever her neck to a great degree. It looked as though it should restrict breathing, but Mineko hardly noticed its presense when it was hidden. Now that it was exposed along with the flesh of her slender pale neck, she should have been going into near hysterics. But Mineko did not. Instead, with the thing hand that had been clutching her scarf so tightly, she took his and murmured in a slightly stronger voice, "My name is Mineko."

[Nyko]

Cyan did a two finger salute "eh"

Z's foot slipped sending her off the roof "ooo dang"

Cyan rolled his eyes caught Z before she hit the ground "clumsy much"

[Demyx]

Keita jumped down to stand next to them. "What's happening?"

[kukutaru_ookami]

Craven let a pleased smile competently engulf his face, "its good to see you trust me. After all this world hasn't been kind to you at all has it, its only natural you should have a little trouble believing in people, right?" Each word was full of kind understanding of Mineko's situation. "But we've idled here long enough I'm sure you want to get somewhere warm and safe well then." He continued forward dragging Mineko with him with a light touch and a slow pace.
It wasn't until he had seen Mineko's "noose" that he remembered his "shackles". Normal people couldn't see them and he could retract his wings to hide them, but the "shackles" were different she should be able to see them. Yet even though his hand had been exposed for so long she hadn't seemed to notice them, he suddenly wondered if he was being duped. Either way that girl didn't seem to have the strength to defense herself none the less beat him.

[KoYue]

"I . . . I am sorry to trouble you like this, Lan," Mineko apologized softly. Her nervousness had eased plenty, but enough was still there for the bile to rise in her throat. Urging herself to ignore the feeling, she continued, "How is it that you know . . . ah, how do you know I am not from here?"
Yes, that was what was troubling her. She was sure no humans knew of fallen angels, so how could it be that Lan was aware of her situation. Her shawl was still fastened tightly around her body, hiding the once brilliant white wings that were now dyed with enough dark blood to make her eyes appear pale in color by comparison. Mineko's free hand fluttered to her neck. The instant her cold fingers came into contact with the warm skin of her exposed neck, she froze in mid-step and would not be dragged any further.

[Aiden]

((damn i'm lost...i think my name is Aiden))

Aiden walked around aimlessly and ate some pizza bites. "anyone here? hello..."

[kukutaru_ookami]

Craven stopped mid-step and barely contained a frustrated growl. Mineko had posed the obvious question and had now stopped moving. He quickly made a confused face and gently turned to the weak-looking girl. "Huh, 'not from here' are you a foreigner? I never implied such a thing I was simply talking about how the world had hurt you its really a common phrase I've come to find." Craven realized how wrong that sounded and let out a nervous chuckle and put a pale hand to the back of his head, "though I'm still young, so there's still lots I'm learning." He opened the deep crimson eyes he closed during the faked laugh to gauge Mineko's reaction to this and made a mental note to cut his hair.

Rachel wandered the streets probing for the evil aura she had felt in the alley but could find only the usual conflicting auras given off by humans. There was a faint good aura in the middle of a void of darkness but it wasn't uncommon, not in this world. Rachel gave her head a quick shake to rid it of such thoughts, hers was not to judge the humans. She felt a gathering a good auras though and had made haste for it and found something unexpected, three teenagers. She decided to approach them at see what their reaction would be.

[KoYue]

A deep red flush rose to Mineko's cheeks. With a nervous shudder, she impatiently wrapped the scarf around her neck, knotting it tightly as fast as she could with quaking hands. So her assumptions had been wrong . . . wait, had they been wrong? The unease settled heavily in her mind. Wrong. Her assumptions were always wrong, so why should this time be any different. After all, her eyes were not the sharpest and with an intuition that could not predict war if tanks were coming her way she knew that she was rarely right. But . . .
"I am sorry," Mineko sighed with a tiny laugh. "I . . . should have thought my sentence through. Umm . . . yes, you could say that I am a foreigner."

[Nyko]

Z smiled standing "u kno the usual getting in trouble and practically killed" she smirked

Cyan laughed "once we heard u were deported (if thats the word for it) we were eager to join" he smiled "u kno the generals arnt what they used to be"

Z sighed "yea no kiddin i was hoping for a fight"

[Demyx]

She hugged them both. "Aw... you guys are something else. Thanks alot. But you didn't really have to."

[Aiden]

((you know what? maybe i should just stop rp'ing all together.))

Kyo strts to alk down the street. (sorry i'm making fun of neko lala i believe.)
Aiden sits down on the couch and eats potato chips. "I know this making me fat but that's okay. a little meat on the bones won't hurt anyone."

[Nyko]

Z smiled "oh but i did i heard Craven was here causin trouble..."

Cyan hugged back "u kno were friends and friends stick together"
