Light of my life. How have you been?
Sat Apr 30, 2022 12:48 pm
Rising from his seat, he walked around the desk and grabbed on to the woman. Holding her at arms length to look over her form. She had returned to a previous appearance, likely in an attempt to lose Eternal Nightmare's trail on her, but that didn't matter. He knew it was her, and that's all that mattered. He would pull her into a tight embrace, words not being expressed even as she had greeted him. His silent embrace was enough, and he knew it was enough to convey the emotions he held within.
Sat Apr 30, 2022 1:03 pm
You didn't think I'd stay away forever did you? Chuckling as she pulled from the embrace first, she also gave him a look over, though he still looked the same he always looked good to her. If this was the time and place she'd make his desk into a bed but they had too much to talk about for that right now. How about we get out of here and have something to eat while we have a little chat.

He would have never been so bold with their assault on the guild hall if he had known or rather, remembered that she would have been there that night. He still kicked himself for that oversight to this day. It seemed however, that it was all under the bridge as the young woman ushered him along, wishing to grab some food so that they could talk instead of standing in his extremely empty and well lit office. Chuckling at this he nodded before letting go of her and gesturing towards the door, "After you".
Sat Apr 30, 2022 2:28 pm
They would be going out in broad daylight and she was a wanted woman in the area which the Rune Knights occupied, she couldn't risk being seen still. Leading the way she knew of a nice bar that served really good fries and beer. It wasn't a far walk and before they knew it the two were being seated and she was removing her hood. In a place like this, she wouldn't be easily spotted anyway so there was no need to hide. So my Knight and shining armor. What do we do now? You are still the long arm of the law, shouldn't you take me in by now? I won't fight I promise.
Sat Apr 30, 2022 3:59 pm
He was dragged from his melancholic pondering by beau's question of what was next. It was something he appreciated as he settled himself into the seat and began to regale Hitomi with his exploits. "Well... I've started the process to bring our idea to fruition. I've already met with a few potential prospects to round out our organization. My contingent of Knights and Second in Command have already left the West for the South to scout for a suitable location for us to meet and operate out of until we can locate a more secure location. So I guess what's next is... freedom."
Sat Apr 30, 2022 6:17 pm
This forced her to go from surprise to being upset at not being his second in command like that was the biggest fucking slap in her face (figuratively of course), and then she supposed she gave way to slight relief as they were finally leaving the West, but not nearly enough as she was still soaking on the fact that she was not his second in command about and the idea they have been planning together. Slumping in her seat as she realized that it was such a small detail that she should really be looking past it but she couldn't get over it and if was paying any sort of attention, Seika would tell that something was wrong. She was speechless really and all she could do was give a nod.

Sat Apr 30, 2022 6:40 pm
Her eyes weren't staring at him but past him, unfocused until he called her name and her pupils snapped at him like a cat watching her prey run. Sitting up a bit and removed her hood in its entirety to show off the curves that were hardly covered but fully covered as she sat in a one-piece bodysuit that matched the color of the night sky itself, on her feet her boots came up to her shins, and nothing more. In broad daylight, this would look eyecatching no matter who was looking at her, but in the night it was the perfect cover. Since they were in a dim bar the only person who would notice would be anyone really looking at her, but she didn't care either way as she was comfortable almost as if she was wearing a second skin. A smile spread to her face the question going unanswered for just a second more before she opened her mouth.
I find it a little strange that your second in command should be going to the south right now when I'm sitting right here. Mind explaining that little magic trick?
Her voice was dripping in venom and not the kind one wanted to be directed at them. He could read between the lines, she wasn't going to make a scene but she would make damn sure he understood his mistake.
Sat Apr 30, 2022 6:56 pm
His senses tingled as he felt something ominous occurring not even a few feet from him. He could see the rather ravenous, almost borderline bloodthirsty look upon Hitomi's face and for once wondered if he had said something wrong or offensive. For the life of him he couldn't fathom what caused the woman to react in such a deviant way but for once he actually felt terrified of the dainty woman. That fear grew when she finally stripped herself of her hoodie, the fluffy fabric falling to the wayside to reveal the luscious woman underneath. It was one of the few sights that truly showed that Sol had blessed Seika for his hard work and dedication to the cause. That was the only explanation for the blood that seemed to travel everywhere but his brain.
Mouth going dry, his helmet sensed his rising blood pressure and assumed a fight was going to commence, segmented sections sliding into place, the large Deseirtian listened as the woman pointed a sharp index in his direction and demanded to know about his 'Second-in-Command'. It was an interesting point to get caught on in his opinion, but now that she had brought it up, it only caused Seika to be a bit miffed that his woman was angry about a minute detail like that.
"Really Hitomi? That is what you're upset about?"

[INVASION]
How had it come to this?
It felt like just the other day Seika had come to Jove and Reign, demanding a more stern hand to guide the guilds of Fiore. The claim that those who sat by idly within the crown affiliated guilds were just as guilty as those who fought against the crown. He wished to bring fire and blood to the enemies of the King, and to reestablish a level of order through force. Jove had thought him extreme. Extreme- but not a hypocrite.
When Hitomi Minamoto had left the Rune Knights, nothing had been set off in Jove's mind as an alarm. He had never met the woman himself, and even when she had first left there had been no reason to be notified of it. People left the Knights all the time. This made it so that as a Lieutenant made their way to Jove and handed him a document of her severance paperwork, as well as the information about where she was now, it raised alarm bells.
The girl had been in Eternal Nightmare once before becoming a Rune Knight, and had left their order again to go back to the dark guild. What's more, there seemed to be a level of intimacy between her and Seika; one that had been otherwise undisclosed. It was not enough to raise suspicion onto the fellow Captain-Commander, but it was certainly enough to spark interest.
The order was simple. Bring Hitomi Minamoto in for questioning, to be investigated for betrayal of the Rune Knight Order and to assess if any damages had been done to the Order via leakage of information.
And so Jove stood before the doors of this restaurant. He knew who stood inside; that Seika and Hitomi lied just beyond the doors. He wanted to believe Seika would understand, and would agree to Hitomi being brought in for questioning. There was no doubt she had performed questionable acts against the Kingdom, one needed only to look at her bounty.
Sighing, Jove muttered the word of power from his lips. "Superbia." Jove instantly transformed in a display of pyrotechnics, taking on the form of having been merged with his inner demon Lucifer. Pushing the door open, Jove would step in. He wouldn't be hard to recognize, and he certainly wasn't trying to be sneaky. He'd take a step or two into the establishment, immediately spotting the hulking form of Seika and the petite visage of Hitomi. They were sat in a way where she would have been able to see him enter if she looked at the door, but Seika would have had to turn around in his seat. He was a hair over eight meters away.
Jove wouldn't be immediately recognized by Hitomi, even if she had looked. Neither she nor anyone else here had ever seen Jove transform; With his fame having been kept in check so well, it was likely no one even knew of his magic, nor what he was capable of. Even if she glanced at him, or drew attention to him, it would be to that of a unique looking stranger, not of Jove Augustus.
Yet Jove respected his old companions. He knew of the nuance within humanity, and he couldn't bring himself to act preemptively. So, as the door shut behind him, Jove spoke loudly in his cool baritone voice, simultaneously bringing the scythe from his back and into his hands so that he was ready for anything. He respected them, but also knew what they were capable of, and would not be caught unawares if forced on the spot. The bar was practically empty, luckily, save for the couple and an old man in the corner as customers, and of course the staff.
"Hitomi Minamoto, you are wanted for questioning by the Order of the Rune Knights. Please come with me quietly."

Finally turning to regard the newcomer in what had previously been a bustling pub that had somehow cleared out ever since he and Hitomi had sat down, he was greeted with the sight of none other than Jove. It was a pleasant sight, something he wasn't expecting since neither of the two Captain-Commanders shared assignments being the two top dogs of the organization. As such, Seika wasn't privy to the thoughts or orders that Jove could have been given, nor the reason for him showing up in such an uninvited if not openly hostile manner. Of course, the sight of the man in what could only be considered full battle regalia was mildly surprising, it wasn't something that immediately set off warning bells in Seika's head. In any case, Seika would at the very least rise from the booth to greet Jove. This placed him between Jove and his intended target, even if Seika himself didn't know it yet. A small smile of respect on his face, he would begin to open his mouth to speak when Jove began to offer his terms for Hitomi's surrender.
Of course.
Smile slowly morphed to frown as Seika was once again reminded of his partners... particular past. It was something that he had actively ignored for all intents and purposes as it hadn't lead to any Knights being hurt nor any of the Knights operations being sabotaged. Seika hadn't had a reason to suspect Hitomi of anything because literally nothing had happened for the past two years. Which begged the question, why now? She had been a member of Eternal Nightmare for two years now, far longer than her admittedly short stint in the Knights. If anyone would have been wary of a traitor it should have been the actual guild she had betrayed not even a month ago, but of course if the higher ups weren't reading reports, then he would only assume that the orders Jove were receiving were so far out of date that it was comical. Yet another reason under his belt. Ah how often the incompetency the bureaucracy of the Rune Knights showed itself. It was amazing that anything got done.
Regardless of Seika's feelings on the matter however, he knew Jove was just doing his 'job' however comical and worthless that seemed to be. Following orders just to chase after loose ends instead of doing any actual policing. Sighing at this, Seika he firmly place himself between Jove and Hitomi. He stood a few feet away form her at this point but still a good enough distance away from Jove as he didn't have the time to actually cross the opening of the bar to greet him properly. Now he was stuck between essentially a rock and a hard place. Argue with orders that he felt were ridiculous to follow, or let the love of his life that he had just gotten back yet again be thrust into the nonsense of Fiore's politics.
Sol how he hated this forsaken land.
Serene smile returning to his face, he relaxed if only slightly. He wasn't going to fight Jove here. Not in this bar. Not in front of these people. That would just be unbecoming of the both of them. Jove claimed he was 'reasonable'. That he 'followed' orders and maintained a close balance between the law and understanding those who resisted it. Not everyone was a criminal and all that jazz. Soft ideology that worked when it benefited the one speaking it.
Typical.
Speaking up once Jove was finished, Seika only had a few things to say, but a short time to say them, so he proceeded, "Mmm. A request has been placed on Hitomi? Interesting. I hadn't heard of such a request until you walked through the door. Well then, if that's the case I'll take her in myself after we've enjoyed our food. As you can see she isn't resisting and we are enjoying a rather simple lunch. Considering there aren't more Knights with you this doesn't seem to be an urgent matter so you can uh... stand down. No use spooking the locals with all of that flair and pomp".
He'd await Jove's response but ensured that he wouldn't move from his spot until he received it. Of course if it seemed that things would remain hostile, Seika was far more than ready to respond in kind, but that was neither here nor there. The bill would be footed by Jove if this got more rowdy than a shouting match between peers.

I really won't fight. I'm no danger to anyone. I just don't see why now after two years plus some that this is even a fuss.
Sat May 07, 2022 2:41 pm
As Seika finished speaking, and Hitomi spoke up, a grimace took Jove's face. He often managed to avoid much of the extra work his superiors wished to put on him, but there were somethings he simply did not have a choice in the matter on. "I cannot do that, Seika." His words were quiet, but loud enough to be heard clearly. "I was giving direct orders to bring her in for questioning, and to ensure that I did so without your escort or monitoring. I, too, do not wish to fight. Please stand down and allow me to bring her in. This is above us."
There were likely questions in both of their minds. Even Jove didn't fully get it. However, he still found himself following orders. He had ensured that Hitomi would not be roughed up or treated poorly, but it was clear she had to be brought in. It was up to Seika whether or not this would turn into a bigger thing.

"These are some rather interesting orders you've been given. Hitomi has been out of the Rune Knights for two years and has been seen alongside me for almost the entire time she's gone, and yet I'm not requested to be brought in for what could be considered treason either? On top of that, she's been missing for quite a bit of time recently and only resurfaced and yet, here you are with new orders as if the urgent need to capture her for her betrayal wasn't actually something that the higher ups desperately needed new information on. That's not to speak of the apparent security risk you are all things considered. For someone who seems to fraternize himself with Dark Mages more than anyone else in the Rune Knights, giving you the order to escort someone previously of Eternal Nightmare without my assistance is almost... comical, you would say.
So pray tell Jove, just who is offering you this order from way up high, because now I'm curious. Is this really an order from the higher ups? Or a personal payday for yours truly? Because if its the later, I'm more than willing to share in the prize. We're civilized people, you can even sit down and enjoy lunch with us before carting her off to Headquarters. But if it's the former, then I'm going to need you to produce something a little more substantial than, 'Oh the higher ups' said so. Because we both know that those fools don't actually offer any orders unless its for their own self serving interests."
His speech was long and uncanny, but wasn't without flavor. Of course, if Jove felt slighted and wanted to attack him while he spoke, Seika was always positioned in such a way as to retaliate at any given point during his words, so worry was not something that flowed off the tip of his tongue rather than the scathing impression he had of the worthless bureaucrats that ran the Rune Knights into the ground. Why Reign allowed politicians and nobles to have a say in the day to day operations of his police force, Seika would never know.

Hitomi's violet gaze kept steady on Jove, his hulking demonic form and the scythe he carried in his hand a clear indication of what was to come if the wrong move was made. She didn't want to fight, in fact, she was tired of fighting. She had been fighting everything from the monsters that touched the veil which kept beings out that would rip apart this world to possessed mice and nearly everything in between including humans, elves, and liches. Giving a soft sigh she would stand up from her seat, a fork in the road splitting ever so slowly in the metaphorical sense. Soon she'd have to pick a path.

"Well, I guess that's that then. I'm sorry."
Seika was eight meters before him, Hitomi nine; this wasn't something he only just now assessed, but instead was information he had noted upon his arrival and kept track of ever since. Jove's knees bent, the movement occurring immediately after he had finished speaking, and he lunged forward towards the still stationary Seika. Jove closed the distance between them in less than a second down to a meter and a half, swinging his scythe from his right side so that the blades tip was equal to the back of Seika's head. The swing had been wound up as soon as Jove kicked off the ground, and so as his momentum stopped, the scythe snapped forward instantaneously, offering no delay from his halt in movement to the swing. Jove's eyes remained firmly planted on Seika, watching for any sort of reaction on his part. Jove wouldn't be able to stop the dash, but that wasn't to say there was nothing that he could do should his opponent respond.

Seeing and acknowledging all of this, Seika would already have his left hand wrapped around the lacquered wood of Senji Nigiri. His body coiled itself, his left foot sliding back quickly allowing his body to tilt towards the left while his body leaned forward, placing pressure and balance on his right foot. Jove's quickly approaching body would be met by the sudden unsheathing of Ryujin Jakka, the pommel of the sword extending out from the sheath. The handle was gripped tightly near the tsuba of the weapon by Seika's right hand as his body dipped down below the plane where Jove's scythe would've cut through. His head was now level with Jove's chest as his clenched hand moved towards the lowest two ribs of Jove's body on his right hand side, the strike intended to wind and possibly even fracture one of the man's ribs using the quick strike and Jove's momentum against himself. He made sure to keep his head up as he did so, watching the man's movements to ensure that he wasn't missing anything. The movement was intended to create space between the two, however if space wasn't created, than a strike at Jove's body would suffice in kind.

Her body lunged forward as Jove's body lunged forward, her blade being one point five meters long, closing the already short distance between the two as she aimed true at the upper part of his right arm. Her fear of losing Seika overrode her instinct to run as she had always been doing. She didn't want to kill Jove but perhaps disarming him would cause him to flee for today. This fight would only end in two people against one so the odds were against him but they weren't impossible so Hitomi wouldn't take any chances in not being careful. She didn't have to swing her sword which saved her time as she was just going to ram it through his arm. She felt that perhaps she was just a bit faster in her lunge than Jove though she was certain that with these split-second actions he wouldn't have nearly enough time to respond to her without taking some sort of action that would curb what he started. Of course, she could only speculate.

- Hello! So there were some minor errors which took place in this thread which has caused for unavoidable damage to be done to some players. I'll go ahead and give it a full breakdown here.
Starters; My entrance set the scene. I entered the building, Seika faced away from me at 8 meters, and Hitomi was sat on the opposite end of the table, which put her a bit over a meter away from Seika as well (average dining table + distance away from the table people sit). This makes her 9 meters away, before the slight variations which form from their standing and moving.Jove wrote:He'd take a step or two into the establishment, immediately spotting the hulking form of Seika and the petite visage of Hitomi. They were sat in a way where she would have been able to see him enter if she looked at the door, but Seika would have had to turn around in his seat. He was a hair over eight meters away.
Seika stands up and puts himself between myself and Hitomi, without really stepping away from the table. This tells me that he stood, turned to face me (and stepped out from behind his chair) and thus obstructed my vision of Hitomi.Seika wrote:Of course, the sight of the man in what could only be considered full battle regalia was mildly surprising, it wasn't something that immediately set off warning bells in Seika's head. In any case, Seika would at the very least rise from the booth to greet Jove. This placed him between Jove and his intended target, even if Seika himself didn't know it yet.
At this point, Seika and Jove primarily have their discussion, but no one really starts moving any further until the final 3 posts. First my own:Jove wrote:Seika was eight meters before him, Hitomi nine; this wasn't something he only just now assessed, but instead was information he had noted upon his arrival and kept track of ever since. Jove's knees bent, the movement occurring immediately after he had finished speaking, and he lunged forward towards the still stationary Seika. Jove closed the distance between them in less than a second down to a meter and a half, swinging his scythe from his right side so that the blades tip was equal to the back of Seika's head. The swing had been wound up as soon as Jove kicked off the ground, and so as his momentum stopped, the scythe snapped forward instantaneously, offering no delay from his halt in movement to the swing.
I begin the actual attack. I dash forward 6 1/2 meters, and at the end of my dash, swing my scythe for the back of Seika's head. Seika responds first in the post order, so next I will capture his post:Seika wrote:Consigning himself to the fate of having to fight Jove, he would watch the man prepare himself, weapon already in hand as he began to dash forward.
Seeing and acknowledging all of this, Seika would already have his left hand wrapped around the lacquered wood of Senji Nigiri. His body coiled itself, his left foot sliding back quickly allowing his body to tilt towards the left while his body leaned forward, placing pressure and balance on his right foot. Jove's quickly approaching body would be met by the sudden unsheathing of Ryujin Jakka, the pommel of the sword extending out from the sheath. The handle was gripped tightly near the tsuba of the weapon by Seika's right hand as his body dipped down below the plane where Jove's scythe would've cut through. His head was now level with Jove's chest as his clenched hand moved towards the lowest two ribs of Jove's body on his right hand side, the strike intended to wind and possibly even fracture one of the man's ribs using the quick strike and Jove's momentum against himself. He made sure to keep his head up as he did so, watching the man's movements to ensure that he wasn't missing anything. The movement was intended to create space between the two, however if space wasn't created, than a strike at Jove's body would suffice in kind.
So to sum up what happened: I dashed forward and swung my scythe at Seika's head. I am swinging from my right side (Seika's left). Seika began responding at the start of my movement, first leaning to his left, and then ducking his head down in order to lower his head down to my chest. Now here is where I could traditionally try to make the argument that in the order he mentioned (leaning left then leaning forward), he moves closer to my blade before leaning forward to avoid contact, thus ensuring the tip of the blade collided with the side of his head. That, however, would be a lot of arguing about timing, and who could do what, and how long things took, etc. Instead, lets look at the final post in the order.Hitomi wrote:Once she heard the first three words out of Jove's mouth she knew she wasn't leaving out of here on peaceful terms as she quickly stepped from behind Seika about a foot away to his right side, her line of sight now free from any obstructions as she stared down Jove. It didn't matter the reason at this point for why he wanted to take her in so badly, by the sixth word out of Jove's mouth, she was releasing Kusanagi from its sheath. The next few seconds were like the snapping of a twig. Her knees bent at the same time as Jove's and at the same time her sword flicked up and pointed straight forward in his direction, towards his upper right arm, like a mirror image but at the same time not quite.
Her body lunged forward as Jove's body lunged forward, her blade being one point five meters long, closing the already short distance between the two as she aimed true at the upper part of his right arm. Her fear of losing Seika overrode her instinct to run as she had always been doing. She didn't want to kill Jove but perhaps disarming him would cause him to flee for today. This fight would only end in two people against one so the odds were against him but they weren't impossible so Hitomi wouldn't take any chances in not being careful. She didn't have to swing her sword which saved her time as she was just going to ram it through his arm. She felt that perhaps she was just a bit faster in her lunge than Jove though she was certain that with these split-second actions he wouldn't have nearly enough time to respond to her without taking some sort of action that would curb what he started. Of course, she could only speculate.
So what happens here adds to the timeline. Hitomi, who had already stood up in her previous post, begins making actions. First, she steps out about a foot to his right side, now giving her some ability to see Jove, at my third word. Then, on my sixth word, she unsheathes her weapon. Now, I'd like to draw your attention to the most important part of this post.Hitomi wrote:Her knees bent at the same time as Jove's and at the same time her sword flicked up and pointed straight forward in his direction, towards his upper right arm, like a mirror image but at the same time not quite.
The problem with this is that she is behind Seika, and Seika is between her and myself. She stepped to his right, which is my left. Yet when she dashes, she's dashing at me with the intent of stabbing her blade into my right shoulder (which is to Seika and Hitomi's left). She initiates her dash while pointing her sword at Jove. The issue with this is, regardless of if this is at the beginning, middle, or end of my dash, that means her sword is pointing where?
Directly at Seika's back.
I would argue that the shock of being stabbed through the back likely prevented Seika from continuing as he intended, but he's also a battle hardened warrior with enough endurance to not be hindered by this. As such, I will assume that the rest of his response happens as he intended, and will respond to it in kind. Seika has now taken 1A rank damage to the back, and Hitomi's body slammed up against his, but her strength left her unable to move him and his body is already acting.
Jove's eye caught it all. Every movement either of them made, the preparation, the angles of their attacks, everything. It became clear to Jove that, despite their relationship and how close they were, they certainly didn't have any experience fighting together. Not even he could fully predict everything which happened here though. As Jove saw Seika continue to move despite the impaling, he couldn't help but grin. This action, the grin, activated his spell. There was no magic circle, and no indication that it had formed.
Jove stopped a meter and a half in front of Seika, as was intended, and swung for a head which still managed to dodge perfectly beneath the blade. Seika's own blade shot forward, the hilt colliding with Jove's exposed ribs, though Jove never stopped moving. As soon as his scythe missed, Jove's hands had shifted their hold, using the scythes momentum to carry the swing into a forward figure eight motion.
The hilt did no damage to Jove, but instead drove home the damage to Seika's already damaged torso. Three A rank damage to his ribs, instantly shattering the bone. The wind would be out of his lungs, his muscles would contract preventing further movement, and every movement he made would be agony.
And yet the assault did not finish. The forward figure eight brought the scythes blade back down, this time from the upper left of Jove's periphery and diagonally across Hitomi and Seika. The blade would stab itself into the back of Hitomi's neck, through her throat, and stick out of her neck. Following through, the blade would also impale into the back of Seika's head, which was at Jove's chest level and therefore approximately equivalent in height to Hitomi's neck.
The damage would be enough to end the fight, should it all land as intended.

And then it happened. The second shock to his system as pain ripped through his chest causing blood to shoot out of his mouth. Even as the blade of the scythe arced overhead, his body dropped to his knees, the strength sapped from it as his hand let go of the handle of his blade. His arm had begun to slip when his mind reminded him again, that the plan hadn't changed. With his body lower than before, he now had to lift his hand upwards, his hand already grasping for something, literally anything to manifest as he angled it upwards towards Jove's chest, and in particular, his heart. There was no worry about such a strike being angled in a way that it would hit him as the hand he used to perform the action was already extended far past his body in this instance. In the grasp of his hand, Solar magic sparked to life as he performed this action, a brilliant golden magic circle appearing underneath the both of them as the magical energy shot forwards, quickly piercing towards Jove's body as he came out of his figure eight motion with the scythe in his hands. With little time to spare, the close proximity of the two would not give Jove nearly the time to react to such a sudden burst of magic shooting at him, especially with him being mid over arcing slash at the two individuals. Whether or not Seika's actions prevented himself and Hitomi from being skewered was unknown, but the effort and intention was clear, the plan had not changed, and he did not intend for neither himself nor Hitomi to go down without a fight.
