[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.]

	I'm sure you know enough with that brain of yours. [He smiles, hands in his pockets as he walks along.] I'll even give you a couple days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's very generous of you. [ Dryly, but he ends it with a sigh of resignation. ] I'll see what I can do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-12-30 06:23 pm UTC (link)
	Wonderful. [A shark's smile to seal the deal.] Ah, it is a wonderful night. [Actually enjoying all this chaos.] I'd step a little closer to me, there's something around that corner. [So. Casual.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Lo and behold, instead of telling Tyki to piss off... he actually steps in closer. Tense. Tentatively trusting in whatever agreement they entered that day. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Tyki chuckles, and as much as he'd like to screw with Reid -- there really is something around that corner. Eh. He'll screw with him anyway, just a little. He stops in his tracks as one of those reptilian heads peeks around to look at them in the dark, watching it back with pocketed hands.] What was the word they call them? Raptors? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-31 12:49 am UTC (link)
	Velociraptors, yeah. [ Quietly. Tense, eyes darting between the dinosaur and Tyki. Of course he doesn't trust him. Of course he's worried now that the threat is actually here. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[What, don't you like getting acquainted with them? He doesn't look like he's going to move, while it takes two slow steps forward into the within six feet range.] Weird name. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ You know what Reid does when he's under intense pressure and fear? He rambles. Still on the quiet side, but increasingly rapid. ]

It's latin for swift seizer... from the modern latin words velox, meaning quick, and raptor meaning thief. The full name is Velociraptor Mongoliensis, chosen by the paleontologist Henry F. Osbourne in 1924 after he found the first fossil in Mongolia that same year.

[If Tyki could look any more uncaring...] Huh.

[But then the raptor ahead of them's sized them up enough to pounce, perhaps wisely leaping towards Reid picking up that anxiety beneath the surface. But before it can land claw or jaw, Tyki's between them with black lacquered arms ripping its limbs straight off. Killing them outright lacks the creativity of part by part. Plus. Gushes of blood! Who doesn't like that?]

[ He doesn't care so much about Tyki caring. This isn't for his benefit anyway, but rather a way to focus and blow off some of that mounting fear so his mind doesn't shut down completely in the face of the possibility that he may be eaten by a raptor tonight.

He jolts back when that raptor finally pounces, stumbling as he tries to gain enough of a foothold to run away but just like that there's a fountain of blood and with it Tyki, as things should be. He'd like to say something about how he shouldn't let it suffer, but can't quite bring himself to do so. ]

Cutting it a bit close, don't you think..? [ Breathless oh god his heart can stop racing any time now. ]

	[He just scoffs, hand dug into the raptor's throat to snap its neck. It didn't suffer... long.] Know who you're talking to, Doc. You really think I'm going to screw up? I thought you knew me better than that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-02 09:09 pm UTC (link)
	Screw up? No, not with this. [ Thin ice, profiler. ] I don't trust you not to let an accident happen, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2014-01-02 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	[Thin, thin ice. To retaliate, when he pulls his hand back he makes sure blood flicks Reid's way.] That'd make me look bad. Trust me, I do a job well or not at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He flinches out of reflex, head bowed slightly as he tries to wipe his face clean with the back of his hand. Ew. So many ews. ] Guess I should consider myself lucky, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2014-01-03 05:41 pm UTC (link)
	You should. [Slightly pointed glance over his shoulder, he doesn't make deals that often either. At least ones that don't finish their own ends.] Now, if you'll follow me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He needs to take a bath in bleach for so many reasons right now. Inside and out. He gives a nod and leaves the rest of the conversation at that, quietly and obediently following. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[What a good little dog you are. Tyki knows where the HQ is, but it's not by choice that he considers a brief detour. More than one are prowling around the next bend and so he weighs his choices with a tilted head.] Up or down? [That's all of the question, he's not elaborating.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-05 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	What..? [ No seriously what are you on about. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He said he's not going to elaborate. Instead he's just going to step forward, seize Reid's arm right past the elbow and he's going to step off the ground while holding the other man's weight; it's not far, just up a few feet to the rooftops of the shops. His abilities don't work to the same extent Kitty's do, he can't make people phase with him, so he lets go on the roof and fixes the sleeve of his shirt.]

I can't deal with more than two and keep you alive. We can walk the rest of the way up here or you can sit and wait while I go off and clear us a path.

Think you can keep your footing?

[ ----Jesusfuck man, you could at least warn him before doing something like that! There's a terribly unmanly yelp and a whole lot of undignified scrambling once he gets put down on the roof, heart hammering wildly against his ribs. Fuck. ]

...yeah. [ Swallows sharply. ] Yeah, I'll be fine. Let's just go.

[ Rather risk breaking his skull open by falling off a roof than sit here like a puppy in need of saving. At least he still got his flashlight. ]

	Good boy. [Slightly condescending, but, well. He's doing a majority of the work here. And of course, he walks along with ease. You don't have to worry about your footing when you can stand on air or phase through obstacles.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-08 06:39 pm UTC (link)
	[ There is so little ease here. All the more wobbling though, but he's made his way over enough treacherous ground to keep himself firmly on the roof while not falling too far behind. Either way this seems like a much safer route, even if Tyki would disappear on him. Just a question about getting down. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2014-01-09 03:18 am UTC (link)
	[He walks out a few feet past the edge of the rooftop where it ends, turning back to look at Reid with his hands in his pockets. The HQ is in sight.] I believe this is where I leave you. [Oh, he knows.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-09 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	[ The sheer idea of being left on the roof makes him wobble, but he manages to keep his balance well enough not to fall off. Whoa. ] You're, uh... you're not going to leave me on the roof, are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2014-01-11 08:11 am UTC (link)
	[He raises his brows. He's just going to be an ass for a few minutes more.] I'm not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
