Emotional Disturbance (Orion/Rina)

[Lucien DeChain]

{OOC: Continued from here}

Lucien and Rina had decided that in order to help Lucien maintain a perfect stealth, he needed to learn to control his emotions, so if there was a Qi user around who could track people by 'auras', he wouldn't be detected.

To that end, they had set out to find the man named Orion, who, according to Rina, could be found by following the trail of blood.

-

Lucien had, indeed, smelled blood before. But the stench that this carried, it was overwhelming. Bodies lay on the ground, leaving a perfect path for them to step down the middle. The young boy had taken the front of their single-file line, out of some kind of chivalrous effort, or some such silly thing. At any rate, the stench was getting stronger. And the blood seemed more fresh.

"We must be close," Lucien remarked.

Ahead, there was an old pub with a partially caved-in roof. It looked deserted, the windows boarded up, and there was no one in sight. Lucien walked up to the door, noticing that it had been boarded up as well, but someone had smashed the door inwards. Looking back to Rina, he gave a nervous nod, and walked into the decrepit building.

[Orion]

AS the two entered, they would hear a pained scream, that as suddenly as it appeared was cut short with a gurgling as a spear tip entered the poor man's throat and silenced him. Standing above the new corpse, the hooded figure sighed, bringing his halberd back up.

"Tcha... they should know better then to get in my way... maybe I should put some skulls out front? No no, that's too barbaric..."

Turning away from the corpse, the hooded figure walked over to the bar, paying no attention to the newcomers as he rummaged through it, ducked underneath so he couldn't be seen. Before they would get the impression he hadn't noticed them, he spoke up.

"Judging by your lack of battle cries, I would assume your not one of those dead idiots that assaulted me. Good for you. Now, tell me why your here, and if it's due to some sort of debt, then I'll give you ten seconds to run before I impale your ass."

Orion's head would pop back up, hood back to reveal his blue hair, golden eyes, and his signature glow. His face was blank, until he noticed Rina and cracked a smile at her.

"Ah! Rina! Good to see you! Come, have a drink, and your friend too!"

That said, he would plop a bottle and three glasses on the bar, the bottle having an incredibly faded label. He began to pour the drinks as he let Rina and her friend wonder how exactly his mood had swung so fast back and forth.

[Rina Vade]

OOC-Sorry I haven't been on lately guys. Been sick with cold ><

The trail of bodies led to a pub, and Rina wasn't all to surprised. She gave a little sigh and pinched the bridge of her nose in a display of exasperation. "He's at it again." she muttered, though a hint of amusement lay beneath her tone. She smiled a little when she noticed that her newfound friend had positioned himself to walk in front of her.

"We must be close."

She heard Lucien say. A small grin plucked at her lips at his words.

Upon entering the run-down building, a scream was cut short by a spear through the throat of someone on the floor, a figure standing over him. Rina knew it was Orion. If the cloak didn't give him away, his aura sure did. As he mumbled to himself, she raised a brow at his use of the word barbaric, but said nothing. She watched silently as he moved behind the bar, seemingly not noticing them, and began searching for what she assumed was something to drink.

"Judging by your lack of battle cries, I would assume your not one of those dead idiots that assaulted me. Good for you. Now, tell me why your here, and if it's due to some sort of debt, then I'll give you ten seconds to run before I impale your ass."

She didn't move.

A moment later, his head appeared from behind the bar, his face blank, only to break out into a smile when he saw her. She smiled back as he offered her and Lucian drinks. "Orion," she began in the sternest voice she could muster, striding up to the bar and leaning against it as she waved Lucian over. "You're going to give me whiplash with those mood swings of yours." she teased lightly, watching him pour three drinks.

Lucien stared in horror at the scene of the bar ahead of him. As the man began talking, while under the bar, Lucien felt a strong urge to run away. But, he stayed, because of what happened when the man took off his hood.

He... He glows?! WHY DOES HE GLOW?!

As the man was introduced at Orion, and a friend of Rina, Lucien followed her along to sit at the bar. This man seemed to have quite the mood swings. Even more so than when he was on that really weird medication in junior high...

"Nice to meet you, Orion. My name is Lucien DeChain. Why does your skin glow?"

He would offer his hand across the bar.

[Orion]

Orion chuckled at Rina.

"But Rina my dear, if I didn't, life would be far too boring, no?"

He then turned to the newcomer Rina had brought along with her, taking the proffered hand with a strong grip and shaking it once, briefly.

"Lucien? It's a pleasure. My name's Orion, Orion Smith. Before you ask, yes I glow, yes I am human, and I've known Rina here for a while. She has witnessed many of my escapades, from mischievous stunts to terrible bloodbaths. I get bored often, and a lot of people don't like me for who I am. They attempt violence. I retaliate in kind. You witness the end result."

Orion gestured to the bar around them as he finished pouring the drinks, sliding one towards each of his guests before downing his in a heartbeat. Calmly placing the glass on the bar, he began to pour, looking bemused.

"I wouldn't worry. As a friend of Rina's, it would be both impolite and pointless to attack you, let alone kill you. However, that brings me to why you're here. As much as I enjoy seeing you Rina, you wouldn't have brought someone just for him to meet me. I'm not exactly the guy you write home about, no? So, I have assume that either he, or both of you, need something, and so have come to me for it. So, the question is..."

Orion placed back down the bottle, leaning on the counter with his arms crossed below him.

"What can the resident Experiment do for you today?"
