[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.]

	[Tyki chuckles, dropping the corpse with a slick sound as it slides off his arm.] I'd watch where you're walking, Doc. That could've ended badly for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was. [ But clearly not enough. He swallows, not because he's disturbed by the sound of a dead body hitting the ground of course. ] You look like you're having fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-12-28 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	[Tyki's grin is something else as he runs his hand back through his hair, the blood helping to slick it back.] I am. [No denying.] Quite a bit of it, actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-28 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	[ Wow you are something else, you sick puppy. He frowns, keeps a safe distance without actually backing away. ] I should've guessed this would be your kind of thing... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-12-28 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	But what is a defenseless little mouse like you doing out and about? [Excuse him pls while he lights a cigarette. He remembers the civility agreement.] Kitty's eyes aren't on you in the dark, not the wisest decision. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-28 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	I'm doing my job, thank you very much. [ Yes, he knows. He knows. Getting eaten by raptors is not doing his job. ] ...I'm on my way to the HQ. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-12-28 11:25 pm UTC (link)
	I think I'll be walking that way myself. [An amused noise, he puts his hand on his hip.] You and I were due to catch up on just what's brewing there lately. Anything? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-28 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	[ He makes a noise somewhere between gratitude and annoyance, leaning heavily towards the former... but okay. Begrudgingly accepting the gesture for what it is. ] You mean aside from what's happening right now? Not really... a few interviews, that's about it. It's been quiet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-12-28 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	Mmm. [Puffing smoke, Tyki's making a point of not wiping his hands off on his pants and letting the red show. He starts to walk in an all too casual way.] You know what I'd like? A list of members. Such information can be very useful to a guy in my position. [Before he chuckles] For avoidance's sake, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-28 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	[ Well damn. So much for avoiding actually making good on their deal... but maybe he can stall. ] You don't think I have an up to date list on me, do you? Cause I don't. People come and go all the time, it's difficult to keep track. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-12-29 05:19 am UTC (link)
	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)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-29 04:00 pm UTC (link)
	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)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-30 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	[ 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)

	noahism 2013-12-31 12:13 am UTC (link)
	[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)

	noahism 2013-12-31 02:27 am UTC (link)
	[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)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-02 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	[ 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)
