Ozma quickly stood up and glared at Dromaeus some more. She raised one of her hands into the air, causing the air around it to quickly fall in temperature as four knives made of ice were generated between her fingers. Before she could do whatever she was planning on however, the one-eyed man grabbed her wrist. "Ozma, your behavior is disgracing our order. Return to the hall." Ozma quickly let go of her knives, at which point the one-eyed man let go as well. "Yes sir. My apologies, High Champion." Ozma knelt before the one-eyed man before leaving the lounge.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OoC: Well, this all seems way outta my hands.

 

[Random berk]

When Ozma left, James released Dromaeus, shoving him away slightly. The Argonian glared at James and at the one-eyed man a moment, before backing off and going to the other end of the room, grabbing another bottle of craft ale as he went. James nodded and grunted his appreciation to the knight as he returned his pistol to its holster, then glanced at the Mason sisters, Mia and Carmen again.

"Sorry about that. Sometimes the only way to stop a fight is to drag 'em apart. Although I do seem to get stuck into these things all too often..." He explained in a tone that was somehow both apologetic and cheerful at the same time. He regarded Carmen with interest.

"If you don't mind me asking, what exactly are you if not human, Carmen? I never got round to asking you these things before."

 

[Silver Shadow]

Mia stood up and walked over to James before asking "Why did you stop them? Whats one less life in this world anyway."

 

[Slenn]

Gwen cooled herself down.
<color=purple>"Yeah, what was with the demonic looking circle you just summoned earlier? That doesn't seem friendly in the least."

<color=purple>"Because Mia, a death in a civilized place would only make me want to leave more. Bar fights are immature and seriously lame."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Laguna went over to the lizard man. "Seemed like you and that knight had some history. You alright?"

 

[Random berk]

James glanced down at Mia, his expression not quite stern, but definitely more sombre than it had been a moment ago.

"A lot of reasons, Mia. I come from a world where so many people have died, that any loss no matter who the person was is irreplaceable. Even assuming you didn't already believe that every human life is priceless. Secondly, too many people in the world- mine and probably yours- kill for the wrong reasons, or no reason at all. I'm not a good person. I have no illusions that I am. But I will always draw that line between myself and those people. I kill people who deserve it, when they are a definite threat to good people. Other than that, I leave them be. At least, when I can."

 

[DotSlash]

Carmen calmly stood up and extended her white wings while a small snaky white tail with a pointed end began to become visible. It shifted slightly as she gave a small smirk to James and Gwen as she explained. [color=bb0066] "Well, that circle looked demonic because I am a demon. To be more precise, a succubus, a seducer, a dream eater, et cetera." [/color]

She seemed to stay neutral as James talked to Mia [color=bb0066] Hmm... And here I thought he shared in my bloodlust. Too bad... [/color]

 

[Random berk]

Dromaeus glanced up at Laguna as he approached.

"My history is with your kind, human. Not with her alone." He growled briefly, his temper still very raw.

James listened to Carmen, thinking back to when he had heard of a succubus before.

"A succubus.. .yeah, I think I've heard of them before. Some kind of sexual vampire, right?" He asked. Then his brow furrowed and he raised his voice.

"Hey, wait a minute! Was that your attempt to prey on me that first day in the locker room? When you put on your little shapeshifting show?!" He demanded indignantly.

 

[Drakmorg]

"I apologize for my subordinate's behavior." The one-eyed man began, addressing everyone in the lounge. "She is fresh from the academy, and apparently they do not teach when the proper time to attempted to get under an enemy's skin is there."

 

[Silver Shadow]

Mia shrugged "Ok, i guess that makes sense." She said to Gwen "That all makes sense but didn't one of them say they Killed the other? Because wasn't there that law, 'An eye for an eye' or something?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

If Laguna noticed the hostility at all, he seemed unfazed by it. He sat next to Dromaeus. "Look, I'm sorry for whatever it is that's happened to you. I know people can be jerks. But I'm not here to hurt you. I'm just trying to keep everyone positive." He extended a hand. "I'm Laguna. You?"

 

[Slenn]

<color=purple>"Then I see every reason why Mia would never use a memory wipe from you. No offense."
She turned to Mia.
<color=purple>"An eye for an eye isn't a law or a rule of any kind. It's an opinion. And it doesn't justify a fight in a lounge."

<color=blue>Dang, it's a race based aggression. There goes my shot at getting to know him. Oh! Laguna's making a move. Maybe I should too. She edged forward towards the bar.

 

[DotSlash]

Carmen simply seemed amused by James, letting out a small melodic giggle. [color=bb0066] "Oh no no! I'm not so desperate that I'd try to drain a male as soon as I see them. You have no reason to worry, sir, it takes a rather long time for me to require draining someone or eating their memories to sustain myself, unlike many of the lower class succubi you hear stories about." [/color]

Carmen looked over at Gwen, sighing slightly but nodding in agreement. [color=bb0066] "Like I told her, I'm not an angel... Hell, I'm obviously not anywhere close. In the end, it's up to her whether she wants my assistance or not. I'm not going to force her into it." [/color]

Dromaeus bared his serrated teeth at Laguna and issued an abrupt, ferocious hiss.

"Were you intoxicated in your mare's womb, fool? Look at you! Well dressed and groomed. Soft through and through! You are neither an egg brother, a son of Malacath, nor even a human who has experienced the pain and indignity of the whip and the pickaxe! What words would you bandy to me that I would want to hear?" He snapped.

 

[Silver Shadow]

"Well thats your opinion . Anyway I have to get some sleep Gwen." Mia yawned as she slinked out of the room.

 

[Silver Shadow]

OoC: Night guys.

 

[Drakmorg]

The one-eyed man raised his eyebrow at the fact that everyone in the lounge had completely ignored his attempt to catch their attention and apologize for Ozma's action. Not an ounce of respect in any of them. At least I shall not have to worry about anything holding me back once I am called upon to strike them down. He made his way to the bar and simply sat by himself in silence.

 

[Random berk]

James squinted at Carmen suspiciously for a moment.
"If you weren't trying to feed then why did you... ah, never mind. I doubt I want to know. So, how will you feed when you need to? I know I have some pretty godawful memories, but I wouldn't want to get rid of them enough to submit to whatever the hell a succubus does. It doesn't sound healthy at all. I suspect no one else would be willing either."

OOC: @Drak James did kind of acknowledge the knight's assistance with Ozma, a respectful nod and such, but he just didn't speak. Wait, never mind, I didn't see your last post. James's attention had just been fully caught by something else at that point though.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Laguna seemed startled by Drom's outburst, but regained his composure. "Look, I'm not gonna get into a "who suffered the most" contest because that'd just be depressing and I admit I've never had any of that done to me. But I've been through a lot. You're mad at a lotta things, but no-one wants to be angry all the time. I'm trying to get to the bottom of this and help you out."
