Bryce walks in, and sits down at the other chair. "So, how's life in the hellish worldscape?" Bryce idly asked, looking himself over.

Yukino lands near the complex and walks into the lobby with her hands behind her head. She looks over the scene and sighs a bit toward Majeh. [color=bb66bb] "What did you do now, dear Reaper?" [/color]

Rex continues his practice outside.

Majeh ignored Holly and appeared behind Echo.
"What's wrong girl? Are you afraid?" He asked with an evil grin.
"I'll tell you what. I'll make it so you can answer my question honestly. If you are truly not an invalid."
He leaned in close to her. "I. Beta. Alpha. Do. Hell. Angel. China. Not. Apple. Boy. Not. Delta. Chop. Fear. Staff. Monk. You."

Yukimaru 'Hmm'd' to herself as she examined the same corpse that Black had. [color=01B7FF]"That is quite strange, zam. How common of an occurrence has this been, zam?"[/color] She asked as she stood back up. [color=01B7FF]"Wait...first, hide and seek, zam?"[/color] She added, raising an eyebrow at the prospect of playing a children's game in a city filled with hostile mutants.

Rozalin sighed and began drumming her fingers on the table idly. "I suppose I might as well be honest and say that I do not know for certain. Coming to this new world was the first time I have ever been out of eyesight of the mansion my father had me live in. Though from what I have read, it is supposedly a rather brutish place a well. Most places supposedly run on the ideal of 'Might makes Right', as it were."

"Just a big jerk." Echo seemed to agree with Holly even as she held her back. She looked up at Yeul and seemed relieved. "Get some fresh air." she said.
She was greatly unnerved when Majeh appeared behind her "I-I...do...n-n-no-" she tried to say, but hearing Yukino show up caused her to lose the last of her courage. She started crying and bolted deeper into the inn.

"It's become more an more common...like Miss Yeul predicted....I'm close to finding her..." Black said to Yukimaru. "and Yes...hide and seek...it seems she doesn't want to come out and face me just yet...my guess is she stalling for time....[sub]It's rather annoying...[/sub]" She added.

"Echo!" Holly called out, then ran after her.

Yukino just watches Echo run off and Majeh follow her. [color=bb66bb] "Really hope he's not trying to do anything to that girl. As strong as he is, he'll end up regretting it somewhat." [/color] The foxgirl moves one of her hands toward her neck as the choking feeling from a few days ago comes back. She shudders a bit before shaking it off.

Rex finishes up his practice and starts wandering around the city.

When Echo bolted deeper into the building, Yeul at first wished to go after her, but stopped after taking a single step. Her posture was almost limp, and she gazed into the distance. Should anyone look, the might see the golden sigels in Yeul's eyes. After a while, she snapped out of her trance and shook her head. It is not my place to interfere here. For a moment, she softly rubbed her fore head, then sat back down on the couch.
"Another one?" Caius asked Yeul, a hint of worry in his voice. Yeul nodded in responce.

"well, in this places defense, the local leaders are complete arses. Most places where I'm from don't operate on that retarded principle, and if I can help it before I leave it'll operate on the idea of 'everyone gets the same laws, ya blighters, now stop whining and get to work being useful'. I wasn't very popular with the politicians where I'm from." Bryce said, before pulling out a small paperback and idly flipping through the pages.
Echo threw out a dazzling wall of sizzling, popping sparks of multicolored light as she fled down a dark hallway, not making a sound as she ran.
"Indeed." Nem said to Yukino. She was now standing next to her looking down the same hallway.
"Indeed." Nem said to Yukino. She was now standing next to her looking down the same hallway.
Shocked by Nem's sudden appearance, Yukino jumps back a bit. She tenses up a bit as she moves her hand toward her sword. [color=bb66bb] "...Shouldn't you be chasing after your niece, now?" [/color]

As he wanders around, Rex eventually stumbles across Black and Yukimaru. He walks up to them without saying much.

[color=01B7FF]"Well, um, who are you 'playing' with, zam?"[/color] Yukimaru asked Black. [color=01B7FF]"And is this person responsible for these strange occurances, zam?"[/color] Noticing Rex, she nodded at him in acknowledgement of his presence.

Rozalin raised an eyebrow at Bryce's reply. "'Retarded principle'? At this point I was beginning to believe that every society acted on that principle." She replied. She chuckled a bit at Bryce and added, "Yes, I can certainly imagine you wouldn't be popular with the ruling class. From what I am led to believe, saying such a thing to an Overlord, that is, the Overlords where I come from, would likely get one reduced to ash."

"She'll take little to no comfort in my presence. And, if that boy intends to harm her...well, we both know what will happen, more or less. Don't we?" Nem said to Yukino as she gave her a girlish, almost friendly smile.
"An old friend of mine...she is a necromancer as it were..." Black said to Yukimaru. "For her, it's a matter of see and kill me....I on the other hand will not kill her....I wish to bring her back home..." She explained, she gave a small nod to Rex as he approached.

Holly covered her eyes when Echo fired her sparking lights, she moved down the dark hallway slowly. "E-Echo? it'ss me Holly....are you ok?..." She called out while looking around the dark place a bit worriedly.

"What, you mean like Valvatorez? If he's a good scale, as long as I don't say it to there face, they'll easily believe that I didn't mean it. Also, how do you guys enforce laws? Unless everything is separated into fiefdoms the size of pantries, you guys must have a standing army of some sort. and the way he acts about them, you'd think armies were an act of evil worthy of death only." Bryce puts the paperback back in his duster.
Upon seeing Nemesis, Caius uncrossed his arms and pointed to her. "You. You are a fool if you believe that you can send a defenceless child on her own into a perilous place such as this, and assume she will remain unscathed. Acting after harm has befallen her is no better. It just makes you all the more the hypocrite. Do you want that child to remain safe? Either stand by her side, or get her out of here."
Rex sighs a bit as he nods toward both Black and Yuki. [color=008888] "That 'not gonna kill her' approach is most likely gonna get ya killed, Black." [/color]

Yukino looks away for Nem in embarassment. [color=bb66bb] "Yes... we do. Had I known the circumstances before hand, I would have controlled myself a bit more... despite the little kid's sass..." [/color] Her ears twitch in anger a bit as she says this.

The sparks barely bothered Majeh, as he walked down the hallway, shielding his eyes, with his hand. He followed Echo's trail with nary with deviation.
Eventally, he caught up to her. He looked down upon her with a solemn expression.
"You were going to lie to me, parrot-girl. You shouldn't lie." He said with a dark inflection.
"You do fear me. You fear others as well..." He trailed off for a second, seeming to think of some distant memory.
"That is good. Fear is good. It will make you strong. I once knew a man who was very strong. He was very level headed. Whatever the situation, he was never afraid."
Majeh paused for a minute. "But you know what? When he was a child, he had a reputation for being a coward. But he was determined to change that. Gradually, one by one, he overcame all the things that he feared. Even when he was so afraid that the tears flowed. So afraid that he peed his trousers... He never closed his eyes."
He turns to walk away. "And when there was no other fear to overcome... His eyes were looking down on the whole universe."
Majeh starts to walk off. "When you're ready come back. No harm will befall you. I won't allow it. Even if I have to kill those who would with my own hands."

[color=01B7FF]"I see, zam."[/color] Yukimaru muttered as she placed a hand on her chin in thought. [color=01B7FF]"So I assume you intend to bring this person to justice, zam? Make them answer for some crime they've committed, zam?"[/color] She idly asked Black.

Rozalin ceased drumming her fingers as she began to think. "I am honestly not certain if Sir Valvatorez is...atypical for an Overlord or not. I have never actually met any. From what I have read, laws do not tend to ever truly be enforced. In fact, in demon society law-breaking is an act to be looked up to. Murder, thievery and other such things are only illegal so that the laws can be broken. Depending on who the planet's Overlord is, varying degrees of order tend to come about for each planet."
