Fight Against Darkness

[serpington]

*max looked at jackle for a moment and lowered his sword, walking over and sitting on a box to the side, smiling and watching with his sword sitting un-sheathed on his lap* sorry if it seams a bit rude but i kinda wanna see you take this guy on, or try to as the case may be. but if your going to get your ass handed to you could you try and do it quickly, i have somewhere to be in a little while, and i'd hate to be late.

Jackal just kept smiling and staring at Gyrus, but still heard Max's words. "Sure, sure," he said, flicking one ear. "Although I'd prefer that you'd stick around...I might need a second in this duel." He winced slightly from the pain in his injured shoulder, rolling the joint a few times to make sure he could still move it. Satisfied, he spun his sword in his hand and continued to wait for Gyrus's strike. After the man still hadn't struck, Jackal shrugged. "Alright then," he said. "I'll go first!" Moving quickly, he aimed a sideways slash at Gyrus's head, and the duel began. Jackal timed blows with his sword with blows from his fists and from the silver-adamantine knife until finally, he knocked Gyrus's knife away with a sudden electric blast from his palm. He raised the dagger above his head, sheathing his sword. "It ends here..."

The carriage trotted around the corner, the driver's face shaded from view by a scarf and hat, pulled down to combat the chill wind kicking up.  They stepped down and opened the door, jerky in their movements.  Tabitha stepped in, lifting her skirts elegantly.  She sat on a velvet topped bench, rearanging her coat to lie right.  "Hurry up Elizabeth.  We don't want to be late."
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gyrus laughed, put his knife away and threw a punch at Jackal, connecting solidly with his cheek.  The blow brought stars to Jackal's eyes, knocking him out within a moment.  He grinned.  "I think I'll take a trophy for my trouble."  With that, he pants-ed Jackal, taking his knife and slipping it into his bag.
 
Gyrus looked up at Max only when he finished.  "I believe my lady needs me.  Tootallo," he said, walking calmly out the door.  Tonight had been fun.

Elizabeth quickly and awkuardly clambers into the carrage. "yess miss sorry about the delay...."

[Aldrea945]

The driver took Rachel from Elizabeth, helping her in.  Once Elizabeth had settled herself into the opposite seat, it tossed Rachel beside her.  He shut the door, latching it in place, and climbed back into place.  The whipped cracked outside the carriage and they were off.
 
Tabitha relaxed against the wall.  "Undo the binds and redo them.  We need her restrained well for the next step.  I don't want another one I have to catch."

Jackal got back up about ten minutes afterwards. "Well... he was a solid prick. Well, I suppose I'd..." Suddenly, he widened his eyes as he realized that his knife was gone. "Wh... THAT BASTARD!!!" Standing up, he singled out Gyrus's pungent scent and raced in that direction, shaking off the pair of pants he wore over his normal ones. "Alright, that man is going to die," he said. Especially for taking the only thing that I had that belonged to my father...

((you would not have went down so easily even if we asked it was kinda essintal to what needed to happen, gives you cause to peg us as the 'bad guys'  and hunt us down for revenge. happy thought))
 
"yes miss i will" She quickly tries to un tie her but struggles with the knots. elizabeth then uses her claws to pick at the knots. "i am not verry good at ting nots miss... why do you insist on making me do such things..."

[Cifero Windtail]

(Fine... but you ain't pantsing me with any success. and that knife will never belong to Gyrus.)
Jackal looked around for Gyrus once he was out of the building, searching left and right. But the large man was nowhere in sight, nor were the other two characters. Plus, due to the weather, the scent trail had gone cold. He shrugged and went back inside, feeling lightheaded from his shoulder injury. "He's gone," the cat said, sitting down. "As are the others. But we'll find them. Somehow..."
With those final words, he fell to the floor, unconscious and spent.

thank you so much again. it really helps if we can keep it as real as possible.  can i give u a hug without getting torn to pecies? )
 
Elizabeth fumbles with the knots then gives up. "miss i will get them later. there is no way she is going to be able to get out of those bonds if i cant un do them.."

[Aldrea945]

Tabitha narrowed her eyes, hissing.  "Are you implying I am not making a wise decision in keeping an enemy subdued?"  The air in the carriage grew cold, sending chills up Elizabeth's spine.

[Kaya]

Elizabeth breathes in the cold burning her lungs. "n-no miss. not at ..all.. i-i will try a-again." She is strugling to breathe because of the cold. and goes back to trying to undo the girls bonds. /wake up.. please wake up..../

*max yawned and watched jackal, not saying anything till he passed out* i guess i'll be nice *scooping him up and onto his shoulder after sheathing his sword max caried jackal out.*

*he lightly tapped on the window* jenny, get your father. i'll meet you down stairs.

o...ok.... *she runs deeper into the house, a moment later opening the door with her father*

i thought i told you to stay away from my house

i came cos you're a doctor and he needs help.

fine, bring him in. *they all go inside, laying jackal on a cleared table and watching as the father starts working on him*

[Cifero Windtail]

Jackal groaned in his unconscious state, stirring a bit but not waking up. As he lay there unmoving, he dreamt that he was with his father, the one he never knew. They talked for a while, sharing memories that might have been. Jackal smiled, then frowned again. "I'm sorry, Dad," he said. "I'm sorry that your knife was stolen." The older man patted him on the back, then grasped his shoulder firmly. "You'll find it, my boy... I know you will."
Jackal smiled again. "Thanks, Dad."
Suddenly, his father's grip on his shoulder seemed to tighten, becoming rather painful.
And then he woke up.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!"
(Aldrea, please fix your post so that the knife is now the sword and so you DON'T pants Jackal. That last part was just immature. Taking the sword was enough.)

[serpington]

*max sat on the other side of the green house, he looked over at jackal on the floor* i think i liked you better when you were asleep, even draging you up here wasn't that bad compared to that noise. *he walked over and sat so he could see jackal better* i recomend you stay there for now, at least for the night. it's already dark out and far to cold for you to go out dressed as you are. the doctors wife said she'd fix up your shirt in the morning.

Jackal sat there panting, with only his sleeveless mithril-enlaced undershirt covering his torso. Looking to the left, he saw that his shoulder had been bandaged. "Wh... where am I?" he asked the man, looking at the lace monitor in a mixture of bewilderment, fear, and confusion. "What happened? And who are you?"
