[action / various] open - day 250
[THE DEVIL'S COMPASS - SECTOR 4]

[So things had been pretty neutral lately and Tyki's found himself oddly complacent. so maybe that's why when the lights stay out come morning hours and he's roused to wakefulness with nothing but a dark expanse around him that he feels more alert. Maybe it's just the deep call of the darkness that sings to him on a level the sun never can. But he's been here far too long to trust anything in the dark, nor be surprised by it.

So he conducts his day as usual, for an intangible man has no fear of what lurks in any shadow. He departs for the Devil's Compass in Sector 4 and roots through it for useful items. He lingers, the entire place lit up by the flickering amber light of candles on nearly every edge. It beckons the weary or the lost.]

[VARIOUS LOCATIONS]

[Oh, yes he's seen those raptors - and tonight wouldn't be the first time he's fought them. Defensively, instinctively, simply for the pleasure of it, he goes about fending them off and even in some cases seeking them out. Something about expelling pent up steam, whirring gears that are lately so out of use. At least, while battling those weird waves of - no, he's just killing them. No reason. No other effects stir anything in him, not a drop of any uneasy feelings.

From fresh faced and impeccably dressed, wandering with a candle in hand to speckled with raptor blood in your light's reflection he's easily encountered anywhere in the dome. His eyes might be crazed, even, glinting dangerously gold. Careful now.]

	Well, then. Want to have some fun? [Gesturing. They have company.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This is business. [That wasn't really a no though. She extends those claws of hers.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When can't business be fun? [Readying up himself, sleeves rolled back and his flesh lined with a hard shell of dark matter. He steps closer, his back to hers.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I forgot how much you love your work. [This ease of working together comes, well, easily. She listens more than watches for them, but they'll come. When they do it might be hard to hide that she has some fun with it too.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He'll see it in her, with a smug smirk behind a lit cigarette. His head cocked to the side, they're slowly being surrounded by a small pack. But he's got time to look back at her.] Ten minutes. Highest number felled wins. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[They can be intangible. They've got all the time in the world. Or at least all the time when she can hold her breath.] What's the winner—let's just call her me—get? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2014-01-01 07:25 am UTC (link)
	What's the winner [he pauses as if he'll entertain the thought of losing for more than just a second] want? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-01 07:27 am UTC (link)
	No messing with Reid. Unless you win, because I still get to mess with him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2014-01-01 07:29 am UTC (link)
	[Like that isn't already a thing. Let his momentary pause be mistaken for consideration rather than a blink of entertained surprise.] Deal. If you lose, you're the Compass' barmaid for a week. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-01 07:33 am UTC (link)
	[Reid has actually kept that a secret.] No special uniform. Deal. [And the raptors seem to be done being polite about waiting. She slashes out, catching the first one in the throat. That's one.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He laughs, loud and pleased before lunging forward to steal the trachea straight out of the next one over before he gets into her reach. Oh, this will be fun.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Two. Three. They make it look easy. Claws. Dark matter. Phasing. Four. But the raptors are tough opponents. She's definitely getting tired as the night goes on. Muscles growing angry as she pushes them onward, landing blows on creatures with much thicker skin than her. They haven't drawn first blood yet, but at this rate it won't be much longer. Five.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[While the both of them are intangible when they want to be, they have other skillsets too. Tyki stops phasing after a few raptors simply because he can allocate his power elsewhere, so he's not as tired as she is though his reserve of energy depletes at a fair pace the more dark matter he uses to shield himself from retaliating blows. Kitty might note that a few actually land against him, self-sacrifice for the higher numbers.

He's got six, leaving one left to tie for this round.

She's closer, but he cheats, phasing through her to send a crackling ball of dark matter at the little beast's face. It uses up a lot more energy than expected, but it also blows its skull halfway off.]

	Okay, one, I'm pretty sure that's cheating. Two, get your dark matter out of me. [The star disease was not fun.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not contagious. [He says, perhaps a bit surprised by that as he pulls his arm backward.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-01 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	I don't mean it like you have the cooties... [Maybe feeling a touch bad about that if he's going to seem all surprised.] Just, I remember what it was like. And I got the mild, non lethal version. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2014-01-01 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	Of... [He has to think, but then he smiles. Yes, that.] You know, that's an Akuma carried thing. Noah are actually immune. [You know, info that might've helped a long time ago in regards to infusions.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-02 05:09 am UTC (link)
	Oh... Well, nevermind then. You remember the part where I called you a cheater though, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2014-01-02 05:13 am UTC (link)
	You can't cheat if there weren't any rules. [He smiles.] You can start work... well, I'll let you know a date once we get the light back on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-02 06:40 pm UTC (link)
	Rules. Next time we should have rules. Yeah, who knows. Maybe your bar will get destroyed tonight and it won't matter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2014-01-02 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	Don't jinx my bar. [Then, as an afterthought- musing,] You and I never play by the rules. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
