Fight Against Darkness

[Cifero Windtail]

  (FRACK.... YOU....)
(He's not a thug!!)
Jackal, who had lost the odd sense soon after he had left, watched the lizard leave the tavern. "I'm not as gullable as you think, sir," Jackal said to himself, chuckling as he entered the establishment. The boy and his sister were there now... and so was his friend.
"Hello, unnamed individual," he said to the wolf-lion. "How are you, and what did that gullible lizard tell you?"

(I'm sorry... I just get pissed sometimes. and he isn't all-knowing... but I just realized it would be out of character since he's lived in that Furzanian town all his live and knows like everyone.)
(Alright, Aldrea)

[Kaya]

cif u cant do that. you left, thats what happened.. please.. dont cause problems.. )
 
Elizabeth waits nerviously for Tabitha to acknowlage her presence and hopes to what ever is out there that she wasn't going to be pissed at her.

[Aldrea945]

(Cif, Kaya's right.  You left with no notion of being wrong, and no one told you otherwise.  Don't act like you are all knowing.  You aren't.  I was going to pass the "Feeling", but I'm starting to reconsider.  It doesn't hurt to be wrong occasionally Cif.  That's what makes a character interesting.)

Tabitha sat at the table placed in the middle, looking around disapprovingly.  Groups stood and sat nearby, scarfing what they had gotten.  'Filthy.  Absolutely filthy.  I swear she has no standards.' 

Tabitha looked up at Elizabeth.  "I assume you have done what I asked for?  I don't like to be delayed."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rachel slid past people here and there, persuing a tiny girl.  She hadn't meant to scare the rugrat.  Not much anyway.  She just asked her why she'd tried to tuck into Rachel's bag.  Rachel sighed.  Couldn't say she blamed her from her looks.  Even under layers her ribs stuck out.  She hurried in a break in the people.

"Hey!  I just want to talk to you kid!" she yelled.  Fewer people crowded them now, getting to the lower district.  Rachel watched her hurry into a large warehouse, not far ahead.  She slowed.  No need to run in and trip.  She walked up to the door, straightening her jacket.  The door latched only just, hinges at an odd angle from time.  Rachel pulled it open carefully, stepping in and latching it behind her.  Wasn't easy, but she managed.

The area she'd walked into opened into a large, cluttered room.  Just junk at first glance, but closer inspection revealed little beds here and there.  Everything from old, too big laundry to piles of paper formed blankets, getting moderately better further in.  A door, thick and heavy stood in the wall.  She'd not seen the little girl as she'd walked among the beds, so maybe she'd gotten through here without her seeing.

She opened the door slowly, quietly, and peeked around.  Her eyes widened.  The snake lady!  She was sitting there, seemingly disgusted, and furniture obscured part of her figure, but it was definitely her.  The chill in Rachel's gut grew.  Her breath quickened.  She didn't even know this lady, but she just felt so WRONG.  Something...  An aura almost.  It was just so wrong...

"I assume you have done what I asked for?  I don't like to be delayed."

[Kaya]

" I.. I still have two more letters to deliver.. You surprised me.. i wasn't expecting y-you until next month....." Elizabeth stood there nervously trying not to look her in the eyes.

[Cifero Windtail]

"So sir... i never caught your name before, sir," Jackal said as he cared to the boy's bruises. He turned back to him. "Sorry again, Nathan."
The boy smiled "It's cool, man," he said.
Jackal smiled. "Thanks." He turned back to the wolf-lion. "So what's your name?"

[serpington]

*max waked around the allyways for a while, not really looking for anything but just hoping to findsomething interesting to kill some time on. after a while he just settled on a rooftop overlooking some wearhouses where the sun was fairly warm, and quietly watched a girl run into one of them* hmm, don't see that often.

[Aldrea945]

(That's alright Cif.  That's just what it came off as, not necessarily the intention.  You're welcome to join us with Tabitha, I just wish you wouldn't immediately do the exact same way.)
 
Tabitha shook her head sadly.  "Tsk, tsk.  Elizabeth, you know I don't like failure."  She stood from the table, fangs dropping down.

[Kaya]

Elizabeth flinched a bit when Tabitha spoke and reflexivly shied back a few steps. "i-i wasnt aware you were comming this early miss. please... "

[Luke White-Heart]

"So sir... i never caught your name before, sir," Jackal said as he cared to the boy's bruises. He turned back to him. "Sorry again, Nathan."
The boy smiled "It's cool, man," he said.
Jackal smiled. "Thanks." He turned back to the wolf-lion. "So what's your name?"

"Luke, and yours?"

[Cifero Windtail]

Jackal got up and walked over. "Real name's Eric, but most people call me Jackal," he said,shaking the wolf-lion's hand. "Pleasure to meet you, Luke."

[Aldrea945]

Tabitha advanced on her, hissing her words.  "Does that matter?"
 
Rachel leaned forward, watching the trainwreck unfold.  She was unable to to look away.  Not even to her hand that was slipping beneath her.  She only noticed when she crashed through the open door.

[Cifero Windtail]

Suddenly, Jackal's sixth sense kicked in again. "Oh crud," he said, realizing the danger. "Come on, Luke, there's trouble afoot..." With those words, he ran out of the tavern, not checking to see if Luke was following him. He eventually came to a warehouse... and got there just in time to see the girl from earlier fall through the door.
Christ help me, he thought, sneaking forward.

[Luke White-Heart]

Luke followed Jackal, wondering what was going on.
As they reached the warehouse, he asked, quietly, "What's going on?"

[Kaya]

" I-I.. no miss. it doesn't... " Elizabeth fumbles backwords a few more steps then looked to where she herd the sound of someone tumbling through the door. Her fur bristled. No one should know where she was. She whistles shrilly, the signal for her, lackeys for lack of a better word, to clear out to a different location. they all dropped what there were doing and piratically dissolved out of the warehouse. Elizabeth has forgotten about Tabitha and growls in the direction of the same girl from the docks. "What are YOU doing here?!" she snarls stalking foreward.

[Cifero Windtail]

Jackal looks back at Luke. "Frankly, I have no clue... but I think that girl's in trouble... and that snake..." He shook his head. "She's DEFINITELY bad news."
