all night || por la noche
[Effects of previous days might've vanished by now, but still, today won't be your luckiest day. Today there's an eclipse in the sky, and to those who are more used to magical worlds, it might be a more obvious sign that something will inevitably go wrong.

As the night falls, certain areas will become busier - forests and swamps where creatures crawl will see their numbers suddenly rise, and these extra animals and monsters need somewhere to go.

Even if you're in a safer area, you might run into one of them. Maybe something as harmless as a a deer, or something much more sinister waiting for you outside your house, walking into stores, in the various routes, even within lakes and the sea.

So watch out, because this will be a very long night.]

[[Invasion log! Time to test those charms for those who have them!]]

[You aren't the only trigger-friendly one in this scenario, although in his case he is using his gun much more sparcely. He doesn't need it to make thing very painful to the creatures that try to get close to him, technically, but pain is easier to draw when there is already a source, like a bullet inside an eye socket for example.

But he reserves that for the more daring monsters, other than that.. he's just walking. Walking towards the coffee shop, where he hopes he can meet Eli, and the fact that monsters happen to fall down writhing painfully in his wake, must be a just coincidence, surely.]

[You know, it almost doesn't surprise him at this point to see you going about this all about as casual as it gets. Given that first day they met and whatever crumbs he's been holding onto from that experience, he's not so far off from connecting the dots when he happens to take certain notice of the behavior of so many creatures around you. I mean... really.

That leaves at least one threat handled and the other... uncertain. What else is new. When Akechi steps forward, this time it's with some measured distance between himself and Victor, to say the least. He keeps his pistol in hand for good measure.]

Looks like the shop is closed for the day. [A real shame, truly.]

[No, shhh shhh, he's just a normal guy walking. A dude, even.][He gets closer, but stops before getting to you anyway. And despite nearby monsters still very much writhing on the ground, and you being not too far away from him... you'll feel nothing out of the ordinary. Perhaps a very faint buzz, if you pay enough attention, but no more than that.]

Well, that's dissapointing. [His tone is dry, like his sense of humour.] The employees fled, I suppose?

[A silly little guy.]

Presumably.

[He makes a point not to actively look at any of the monsters, not to scrutinize their strange movements and the proximity involved. As though it sends its own unsaid message for him to walk and accept the allowance clearly given to him in the image of stepping over creatures that were rampaging just moments before without direct question to the suspect in control. He bridges the distance between the two of them - some, not fully yet.]

There's certainly been no lack of evacuation efforts. Comes with the job for some of the travelers here, I suppose.

[Seasoned heroes and all that.]

[Well, if he's been pretending not to notice all your half-veiled truths and insinuations that so far guarantee him you are not a normal teen, the least he would expect is for you to do the same. It's polite. Quid pro quo and all that. And you seem very intent on being polite, anyway.]

We can rest assured, then. [In the flatest tone of 'oh we're saved... yay...', even as he casts an almost bored glance at the chaos surrounding them-- not his problem, anyway. At that point, most of the monsters that were writhing in pain on the ground have gone still.]

You know Eli. [It's not a question. He doesn't sound very concerned when he asks:] Have you seen him?

[The fact him knowing Eli goes without saying enough for you to state it all plain and matter of fact, is a complicated feeling for Akechi in as much as he allows himself to get to know anyone. Can't be helped in these circumstances, and all that but all the same... Hm.

He gives your actual question proper consideration regardless, thinking back to his encounters today and the specific lacking presence of Eli as much as he can recall.]

... I can't say that I have. Would he be near here?

[If it is any consolation to you, his concept of knowing someone (specially Eli) is very intense and peculiar. He doensn't mean anything more than you can recognize him enough to help locate him.]

He was covering his shift at the coffee shop. [He nods with a gesture to said shop.] He must have evacuated too, then.

[Damn it. He was hoping he would be easier to find.]

[That certainly makes sense why here and why now, as far as running into you here goes; now he does turn to look around them, not to speak of the monsters but a survey of the surroundings, the shop and the area around them.]

Can't have missed him by much, if that's the case.

[He says, all while wondering how likely it would actually be to miss him just off timing, and not even see Eli near the area at all. But hmm okay. Let's see.]

The ideal exit points are likely through here [--he gestures at a nearby alley narrowed in by vines and the natural foliage of town, with just enough space to pass through hidden... then sweeps his arm out at another more open path opposite the direction of the incoming attacks--] or up along this road, given enough time.

That is, of course... assuming he left from here directly.

... Hm. [He listens to you, taking note of your suggestions, even if at the same time he absentmindedly considers which would be more convenient: to search Eli on his own, or to use that... amulet this land has gifted him to try and communicate with him.

Both would imply a cost. The first one means to lose more time, and probably more energy fighting those monsters. But that lost energy is something he can control more. The second one would save him time, but cost him energy unknown, dependant on the whims of magic.]

It's probable he left from behind. [The first way you pointed out. Eli would have tried to avoid exposing himself by being mauled and then miraculously healing in front of an audience. Even as he says so, he's already walking towards that back alley.]

[Hmm. Well that's hardly a call for Akechi to follow at all, and he'd normally be gladly inclined to fuck off on his own, buuuut. Given what he highly suspects will happen when Victor is no longer in range of all these monsters surrounding the area...

He invites himself after you, letting a sigh out and pushing some leaves hanging down out of the way in the process. Here we go.]

[Well, it must be noted that most of those creatures are probably dead by now. But yes, more of them could definitely follow in their wake, without the pain radiator that Victor is around. So, smart choice, even if Victor doesn't care much for the company.

He notices you follow him, of course. He can feel your nervous charge behind him, and just sighs internally. Seems like he will have to be careful with showing the full extent of his abilities, at least until he gets rid of you.]
