thanks. also little FYI i just landed at your feet. i apologize if i wasn't clear, being woken up at 5:30 in the morning by construction equipment doesn't do justice to a persons posting. especially if they're posting directly after it happened.tobi the good boy said:
Contristo watched as the Roman soldier flung a woman whose arms appeared to glow a great distance. Her body tumbled but she only seemed half awake, as if the throw had shook her back into reality. she landed hard at his feet and rose slowly, her body showing the obvious signs of aches and pains. She apologized for some strange reason as she made it to her feet.
Contristo clasped her shoulder and stepped between her and the soldiers.
"I believe we can settle this like adults." He announced to both parties.

"Please don't sir. this isn't your fight and i won't have you harming yourself for my sake." Matrion said stepping inbetween the soldiers an the man. a sharp pain went though her head and she could feel the mental barriers weakening.
"I won't let you take control this time!" she shouted clutching her head with one hand and a second pain went though her head, she was now holding her head in her heads.

The last two posts were a bit too... I'm not sure how to call them. Really. Just strange. Like if from some old 80s movie. Nevermind.

<spoiler=OOC>Everyone be exorcists.
Sorry guys, I couldn't sum up the effort to be the good guy at this moment... So... I am going to be the bad guy...
I need an escape and this seems like the good place to use it.
I need to be evil for a while, so I shall be controlling the bad guys.
Nero picked up the book and looked out above the city. The city was filled with vermin as far as he concerned. 'How did he let it get this bad?' he thought to himself as he grabbed a quill and started to ink it, getting ready to write. he sauntered through the door and went to the ground floor, and casually wandered through the streets, every so often smiling and writing something down in his little black book.
His writing was fast and neat, clearly detailing exactly what he wanted. His smile grew broader when he saw others, and dimmed at some others. he continued wandering throughout the street, writing things everything he saw down into his book, it would all be useful information for later.

"Its alright girl, we won't let them hurt you." Onyx said, stepping between the girl and the advancing soldier. He crossed his arms and waited for him to make a move, and considering that he was branded a renegade and traitor by his family, their next move might prove fatal for them.
"Now now, surely we can fix this little problem without resorting to a fight. Judging by the state your town is in I'm sure another fight isn't exactly what your looking for now is it?" Onyx said, eying the soldier.

Sonitus was a slight bit confused as the man he had been approaching walked on. He simply shook his head and then gave a shrug before continuing through the town, looking for potential employment as he went, performing for various people on the street as they tried to recover from the shock of the so-called 'demon attack'

" Soldier, draw your weapon. " Titus commanded his companion without turning away from the group of men in front of him. " Leave the dead alone. They served the empire. " Titus looks behind the man standing in front of him. " You.." He brushes the man in front of him away and approaches the woman. " So beautiful..." Titus says as he moves his hand over the womans' face, " Do you... Understand... me?" Titus struggled to utilize the few words he learned in Aramaic from his workers.

"Why don't we settle this without involving the girl." Onyx said, walking right back to the man and placing his hand on the man's shoulder. His other hand reached hesitantly towards his back to unhook his glaive.
"I don't want violence, but harm the girl and that's what I'll give out."
"I don't want violence, but harm the girl and that's what I'll give out."
"wer loerchik coi ouithic!" Matrions eyes shut and reopened but they looked draconic. "I'm so sorry, He's clawing at my mind." she stepped away from them and took all the strength she had, using telekinesis to encase herself in debris in an attempt to protect them and the village.
Zech stood from behind the pile of garbage, his face flushed with embarrassment that he had been running from an ally. "I apologize Garerus. All I saw was the cloak, and when I had seen the Romans in front of the barracks a moment before I assumed they were following me. If you want food you can follow me home, my family will be serving dinner shortly."
Still, he hesitated and looked into the air. "I feel uncomfortable at leaving the village, though. I do not know why, but something in the air makes my hair stand on end; a voice calls to me, tells me of some fast-approaching danger. Do you know if the others are in any trouble?"

Garerus's stomach rumbled at the mention of some homecooked food, and hardly even caught the second part of his statement. But when he did, he got a frown on his face. If there is trouble that means the food has to wait... He thought quickly before putting on a broad smile and walking toward Zech. He put his arm around his shoulder and quickly said. "I can assure you everyone is one hundred percent fine. In fact, I spoke to each and every one of them before coming to find you, and they all gave perfect reports." He said, obviously lying through his teeth.
"So with that being said, I will take you up on your offer of food, lead the way my good sir!" He said with much more emphasis than needed, and gave Zech a bit of a hard shove in the direction out of the alley.

" A new citizen " Titus looks at the man standing in front of him. " Soldier, go and check the bodies lying around. Some might be alive. End it quickly." Titus orders the soldier standing behind him to check the burned men for any signs of life.
" Your girl is there " Titus points at the woman encased in a shell of debris. " I suggest you move away. You-" Titus looks at the other man that was in the scene, which was accompanied earlier by a small child. " Talk in Latin" Titus moves back and tries to ask the other man something in Aramaic.

Zech looked at his companion with doubt. A horrible rumbling in his stomach was rising. Not one of hunger, but of guilt. Something told him if he left the village now, something horrible was going to happen. And for a brief moment he considered leaving; he considered going home with his friend and enjoying a quiet meal with his family. But as much as he wanted to he remembered the oath he had sworn when he joined the Exorcists.
"I swear, as long as my legs allow me to stand and my weapons are sharp enough to pierce my foes I will fight to defend this village from any threats, be they natural, supernatural, or foreign encroachment."
Nearly every day he regretted that oath, but there it was. He waved his friend out to the exit of the alleyway and pointed him to a small farmhouse barely visible a walk down from the path they were on. "You remember my home, right? If you don't, there it is. Go and tell my father I sent you, and he will feed you. Tell him I will be out late on business relating to my profession."
He turned, and with a feeling of deep terror at facing the Romans directly he walked to the center of the village. He ducked behind a crate the old woman Ruth had placed outside of her home, and saw that the Roman he had spotted before was now facing several of his fellow Exorcists. One appeared to be Matrion, and he believed the other was Onyx. He had little time to befriend all of his co-workers, but Zech had at least taken the effort to learn their names. And now they appeared to be in a direct confrontation. The Roman was speaking both Latin and Aramaic, though he intended for them to speak his native tongue.
That stirred something in him, and he stood up and proclaimed "Invader, if you will speak then you shall do it in the tongue of the people you wish to put under your heel."
He took in a shivering breath as he realized the gravity of revealing himself like this. His heart nearly stopped out of shock and dread.

" As you wish, soldier " Contristo said, his voice betraying his lack of interest in the man. Contristo was familiar with the Legion, brutes who value the blade more than the mind.
Contristo's real intrigue was captured by the floating cage of rubble that encased the woman who was thrown before him earlier. She obviously possessed unnatural abilities like those within the Exorcists.
Is she a member?
Contristo slowly stepped closer and closer to the floating shell of stone and dirt. He circled it examining every detail and pattern. A quiet low thrumming could be heard from within it and a faint red glow could be picked up through the cracks.
" Legion, make yourself useful and tell me who this is. " Contristo called, as he did he gave quick glance to the sky atop his head. Thick black clouds churned blotting out the sun.
As he was drawing closer he heard a foreign figures shout rise from behind the rubble. But Contristo refused to draw his eye's from the prison of stone something about this woman reeked danger and danger was, by all means, interesting.
More people ... great.

The shell started to break loose, pieces of debris coming off it were so hot they melted though the ground then cooled. they stopped for about a minute then continued but violently this time, shooting of as shrapnel. A muffled roar could be heard from inside the tomb turned cocoon. The farther down it wore, the redder it got. pieces of rock were now being lifted off the ground and stuck back onto the tomb as a last effort by Matrion to stop the beast. it was now hovering over a small crater.

Titus looked at the commotion, more people revealing themselves. His left arm began pulsing and expanding as his right arm did earlier. Ready yourself. Germans be damned
" Rome saved you. , You were all under the rule of savages.
We bring forth civilization, and in a few generations all men of this land shall speak our tongue and serve your Empire " Titus addressed the man who came from the shadows. " Go... Behind " Titus struggled with the few words he knew.
" Tell anything you know about who burned the barracks " Titus addressed all of the others.
A sound of begging, then suddenly nothing more could be heard behind Titus. " All are dead, Equitius. " the soldier reported.
