Fight Against Darkness

[Kaya]

Elizabeth timmidly tapped on the door. "um... e-excuse me... miss tabitha... Rachel.. well rachel got out and is conversing with a nother dragon.... i.. i cant get her to come back inside..." elizabeth winced after stating this and backed a good distance from the door fearing something would be hurrled at her for intrupting.

*max got up, tired of waitig i te cold and started to walk, ot knowig or really carig where he was going, finding himself running across the rooftops and jumping between buildings as if he was home. after about an hour he was panting and out of breath, he looked around him to see if he could place himself in the city, instead spotting others on a roof a few blocks away. one, a youger girl by the looks of her, looked fimilure but he couldn't be sure at this distance.
 
after stopping to catch his breath max started to slowly creep closer, making sure to stay hidden while keeping an eye of the girl ad the dragon

Tabitha smirked, pinning his arms down.  "A little of both.  What fun would one be over the other?"  When Elizabeth came to the door, Tabitha growled.  "Use a net if you have to.  Knock her out.  I don't want her out though."
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Danny snorted.  "There's a difference between caution and anger.  I haven't stopped you from telling your name at all.  But I still have no real reason to trust you."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Jacob put on a mask of surprise when she pinned his arms back, then it turned to confusion when she finished speaking to Elizabeth. "So how exactly is this position fun for either of us? Sure you might be getting you kicks in thinking you've pinned me down..." His arms pressed back against her pinning, and a smirk of his own appeared when Tabitha fell on her back while trying to keep his grasping claws at bay. "But I can easily break any hold you have over me, my love..."

The dragon shrugged his shoulders once again, but not sure if it was for 'I don't know' or 'I don't care'. "I hate to incur the wrath of the one I'm guarding, but you're being a little unrealistic expecting words from a stranger to be a reason for trust. All I want is a chance to prove that I can be trusted, and that means I get to travel with you, and be the helping hand that you need when your skills as a thief are no longer enough."

"what the hell am i supposed to do against a dragon that can clearly roast me?! god.. you are just a good for nothing, annoying arse, sex driven bi--h. go get her your self." elizabeth storms off after the outburst throwing negitive energy practially everywhere.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Jacob looked rather confused in the direction of Elizabeth, then chuckled. "I think retrieving her just got a tiny bit more challenging, my dear Tabitha." He kept her from trying to flip him over or push him off as he thought his situation. "Worry not, I can track her from the other side of the world, and we'll bring her home once we're done with our other affairs." He assured with a knowing smirk.

[Aldrea945]

(Chrono, please tone if down.  The way you've been phrasing things has not only bordered on powerplaying, but it's rather insulting.  My character is wary, not angry, and you've made it very clear you consider yourself better.  Please stop.  Simply because one character has a skill set that another doesn't doesn't make them inferior.  I'm not going to give a strike this time, but if it continues, there will be.  And yes, Rachel SAID there was no reason to trust a stranger.)
 
Tabitha groaned and pushed him away.  "Might as well go get them.  I can't stand when those two cause trouble.  You may stay if you want.  I need to get Gyrus anyway.  He's probably roasting one of the horses by now."
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rachel walked in the opposite direction of the dragon.  "Sorry, but I don't travel with those I don't trust.  Maybe if I talk to you around others I consider it, but since I haven't had that chance, no.  Good bye.  Thank you for the directions though."  She balanced lightly on a clothes line crossing the street, fighting her shivering to keep from falling.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Jacob fell out of the bed, partly confused and unaware of how he might have sounded. He went upright and went to put his clothes on. He only went as far as simple clothes, then left to go put his armor on.

Halfway through dressing up he heard piano music playing a sad, depressing melody. Tears dripped down Jacob's face as he tried to put the rest of his armor on in spite of the oncoming sadness. He was only able to get the chest-piece on before he started sobbing and banging his head against the wall. "Where did that arrogance come from? 'Halfway across the world', I can't even keep the Darkness out of my head for two minutes!!" He said aloud, not sure if Tabitha was still listening or not.

The Dragon sighed as his feet were dragged through the snow, then he unceremoniously fell off the roof. There was no 'thud' or any indication that he actually fell. Even the trails he made in the snow had completely vanished.

[serpington]

*max followed rachel carefully, finding a safer way across the road and caught up to her* hey! slow down, you're fast i'll give you that. are you alright? i saw that woman kidnap you. how did you get away? *he panted a little, both exorsted from running and trying to catch his breath after saying so mych without stopping to breath*

[Aldrea945]

Rachel turned suddenly, tripping and falling into a slush pile.  She shivered violently as she picked herself up.  She vaguely remembered the person in front of her, too cold to think very well right then.  She nodded slowly, motioning he follow her to an abandoned area.  "O-out of the s-snow.  P-please."
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tabitha hardly looked up, dressing quickly.  "Dear, if you can't handle the darkness, perhaps you should stay and wait."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Jacob stopped sobbing soon after Tabitha told him to stay, and the music died with it. "No, I'm fine... in fact, how about a little competition?" He quickly suited up the rest of his armor and lifted his sword over his shoulder. "Whoever finds her first, is her new "owner"..." The tears still clinging to his face were practically lost on the cocky smile he sported as he strutted past Tabitha.

[serpington]

*max nodded and followed, finding somewhere warmer and offering rachel his coat* you need it more than i do at the moment. now tell me, what happened with that woman, and who was that dragon back there?

[Cifero Windtail]

"Max!" Jackal ran up to max, out of breath. "Wh... where did you... Huh?" Just then he noticed rachel... and hid his face so she didn't see him blush. "Um... hi there," he said. "Are you alright? What did that snake do to you? How... sorry, I'm curious..." He sighed. "Just... just pretend that I'm not here... I'll just listen." he grunted as he lifted the man he was carrying over his shoulder.
 
(I will change this if you ask...)

[Aldrea945]

Rachel shook violently against the coat, cursing her hat.  It just had to fall off...  Her dark curls fell free around her head.  "Thank you.  I'll owe you," she said, pulling it tight.
 
Rachel almost never let anyone know she was a girl.  The last time she had, the person she thought she could trust had reported her to the police.  She dropped the rather futile lower pitch in her voice.  "Why don't you sit?  Not much to sit on, but it's better than luggin' that man around like an oversized suitcase."  She settled herself on a crate, crossing her legs.
 
It took a minute to sort her thoughts.  "That lady was Tabitha.  She-devil more likely.  Steer clear of her.  She'll do... things to ya."

[serpington]

*max leaned against a wall, quietly, listening to what rachel had to say* i don't think that's going to happen her goon still has his sword and i'm not to keen on letting her make everyone hate us scaled folk again, it's only in the last fifty years they've stated accepting that we're not all blood-thirsty and venomous. so how many people has she got?
