Fork in the Road (Kaito/Private) Empty Sat Feb 05, 2022 10:53 am

Erebus

Lights illuminated the sidewalk towards the inner town of Aldenwald, Erebus perched his satchel against a light post, and grabbed a small silver flash from his cloak. He sipped the drink once and turned his attention away from that. Opting to grab a map, his blue eyes scanning the page, so not to get lost at these Cross Roads.

The ground was cobblestone and darkened with dirt and grime. The place was a haunting all on it’s own, and the smoke creeping over the ground seemed to never go away. It was like the whole region was under a hollow, spiritual, curse.

Erebus was only passing through this area on his way. Some could argue he was never really here, but over all, he was out to engage the town. Searching for his own agendas, Erebus has heard of something new recently. The Mysterious Merchant. No, he hadn’t heard any qualm of it, but he wanted to find someone to fill him in if anything.

That led him to here, where he was now. He arranged an escort in town to fork up information, whether that info was real or not was not exactly important. Erebus was fascinated by what he’d heard already and curious to get into the Merchant’s head, picking him for all his contact could fetch a business. But if anything, just getting to see the items themselves was alluring.

Erebus squatted and knelt, tucking his flask to his satchel pocket and drawing a pack of matches and cigs a moment later.

Kaito

Kaito walked along the cobble path, following a rumor of his own of someone unnamed that carried items people seemed far and wide, Kai wondered if maybe this person could have an answer or and item that might be able to lift his affliction. He knew it was far fetched but he wasn’t going to let info like that just slide through his fingers and go to waste. His exceed companion is riding in his hood keeping an eye out for any sight of trouble so she can alert Kai, as this area seemed eerie and foreboding, she didn’t trust this info Kaito was given but she knew he had to know if he could. The story seemed to speak of this person as if they were a ghost that could just vanish into the mist and not be seen again.

Kai believes he sees someone just a little further ahead in the city but he isn’t sure if they are friend or foe, but he knows the only way to know is to walk up and speak to them, if they are not just a phantasm or a trick of the light in the night on the fog. ”you are real aren’t you?.” He walks closer to what he thinks is a man by a street light, but he keeps his guard up and has Revy stay low his hood.

Erebus

Erebus heard footsteps before he ever hears words, alerting him and causing him to watch the incoming entity, which seemed to be nothing more than a young kid. Erebus quickly kneels back up after tucking his things away.

“I’m real.” He started, making sure he had sizes the boy up completely before speaking again. “The pleasure is all mine, what’s your name?” He got to chopping up the info with expeditious haste. The Warlocke felt that if he didn’t, he’d be unable to wsrrant further socialism as per his guild wishes.

“I’m Erebus.” he finalized on that. Awaiting the boy’s next resolve, after hearing his name and opening the passing of their post he and stories. Erebus was clad in a dark brown, almost black leather cloak, with a silver helmet embedding a heart crystal on the front, a satchel over his shoulder, and a simple dagger sheathed on his waste. He wore Pyaar earrings that mustered with a slight orange hue.

Having upgraded Bariumbas. Erebus was now wielding a purple and stainless steel knife, with a rose coursing it’s stems to the blade epicenter. Maiden’s Voyage. Erebus still needed to find his Bone Ring again, but that would have to wait. He had other plans for the moment.

Kaito

He could sense the man sizing him up, even from behind his mask he can tell this man gives off a very strong presence and Kaito doesn’t want to push his luck with him, so he figured he has to play nice and stay calm. ”Good that you are real, hard to tell out here which are ghosts and which are real in this fog.” He laughs softly and rubs the back of his head, the exceed looks around from behind Kai’s head and looks at the man.

”I too share in the pleasure, I am Kaito of fairy tail.” Kai keeps his mask firmly on his face, his cloak held tight to his body, his steel katana poking slightly from his cloak. He taps his masks chin and he figures he might as well ask this man if he had heard anything of a strange sellsmen. ”Have you by chance heard or seen a strang salesmen?” He knows that is super vague and he really can’t help it being that way as he has no real details just rumors that they might be around here, though he might’ve been mislead.

Erebus

Erebus found it strange when Kaito mentioned the same thing he was here for, wondering if this could be an agent of the Midnight Cult they were eliminating one by one. He speaks in a more harsh tone, emphasizing his own distrust of others and making it clear he isn’t with the games.

“How is it that everyone knows this salesman but me?” Erebus laced his words in toxin.

He then proceeded to admit his own allegiance, as he’d noted Kaito was Fairy Tail, it was only fair he know who he was standing in front of. “I’m apart of Eternal Nightmare. The salesman I’m looking for isn’t in the region, I’m just collecting information so I’ll be able to act when he appears again.” Erebus offered a few more bits of info that weren’t too alluding. “I hear he shows himself to worthy company, and I myself. Haven’t been worthy yet.” Erebus then assumes a more neutral disposition. “I wouldn’t normally offer it, but if you’d like to investigate with me, I’m looking for someone in town who might be able to give me the drop on why that could be. I can’t be too long though, I’m using magic to keep a bind over monster outside of the city gates South of here.”

Kaito

”I don’t know him, just following a rumor that he might have something for people with an affliction.” he pulls up his sleeve revealing a bandaged arm. He was unsure at how this person would view him just randomly saying something like that and showing off his bandaged arm. He hears the name of the guild the man spoke to him and he looks toward the man to look him in the eyes. He remembered that name from a book while he was doing research on guilds like he was told to by Tempris ”Isn’t that a dark guild?.” He figured the man couldn’t be all that bad if he openly admitted he was from that guild, if he had wanted to trick Kai, the man could have lied and gotten away with it with very little trouble. ”I can indeed lend you a hand cause I doubt you will put your blade in my back.”

He knew he shouldn’t have added the last part cause that was just trouble making at best a death wish at worst. His exceed made herself small hiding down in his hood no longer trying to be nosy of what is happening out side of it. He hopes that Revy is alright back there cause she has kept quiet.

Erebus

Erebus watched Kaito reveal his arm, placing a hand himself at his dagger in the process. Seeing the damage, he winced as infection rates were high in the current region. His eyes flicked back to meet Kaito’s, a daring smile traced his lips. Though, like with all of Erebus’ and his bad deeds, he himself was just extremely mentally ill. Causing him to need the alliance of Eternal Nightmare— to say they were all that bad was left entirely to the perspective of another though. Erebus simply viewed his guild kin as other wandering entities being hunted for sport. He just happened to be a human version of among them, which he quite fancied nowadays anyhow.

“Yeah we are Dark, and I’m the most wanted out of all of them. Keeping me locked up is a problem though.” Erebus jested. “I’m an escape artist.” He folded his arms, Kaito’s willingness to connect that he could stab the Fairy to his death warranted a certain kind of respect from the Warlocke. He himself never trusted, so to be trusted, always made Erebus tick with curiousness. Either Kaito was purely gullible and would die because of this someday. Or he was made from a fine cloth of bravery, whichever it was, Erebus felt a relation to both; and thus, decided he wouldn’t harm the Young Fairy.

“Be careful not to trust everyone Kaito. And be wise not to trust those who claim they’re good just because of who they take arms up for, when living in a world so torn by chaos, we can never assure that everyone in the room wants the same things.” He offered advice he’d come to know through his own time. Hoping to keep this mage alive a little longer so they’d meet again another time... “Certainly, never trust a Rune Knight.” His eyes moved from Kaito to his map, which he pulled out so the two could see it together, he poked his finger between two streets. “We’re here, about three blocks from the connection— over here.” His finger slid from the starting point, tracing a path to an Inn, which had a tiny red X over it.

Kaito

”Yes you don’t seem the one to stay stuck somewhere.” He wonders how this man escaped from them but he figured it is none of his own business as he doesn’t think he is going to end up in jail anytime soon so he just left it go. He feels the man’s words about not trusting people so easily, every encounter with a rune knight has been awkward and slightly troublesome for him so he knows he shouldn’t allow himself to be trusting of them but this man hasn’t wronged him as of yet so he will trust him for now.

He looks at the map and he wonders what this person they are looking for is really gonna do for this man and he wonders if this is gonna end with him needing to flee the knights himself, but he guesses that is the fun in all of this, the thrill of the adventure even if in the end you still end up coming bad empty handed he thinks or at least hopes he will survive to see a new day.

Erebus

Erebus began to move, crinkling the map back to its original form and tucking it between the open zipper of the satchel. His eyes drifted down the alley they’d inevitably be patrolling for the connection. He didn’t appear frightened, but there was always a deep sense of ominous tides to Dahlia. Perhaps that was just due to it’s rich supernatural history, either way, Erebus decided to peruse the Blsck Market. Knowing that some would have information, even if in the slightest.

“I guess you could say that.” He thought out loud, unknowing if the Cursed Boy would be following him or not. He retorted. “Better to be stuck in a cell than dead I’d imagine.” Knowing all too well, he just wouldn’t die. Nonetheless, sometimes taking a loss proved more valuable for the future ahead. Everything was a strategy, nothing left for the tables. “Where you from Kaito?” Erebus asked, hoping to chop up the conversation and take it with stride, it was much nicer than a blanket of silence in a creepy city, that much was indeed.

Up ahead, you could see the building projected under lavender and shades of sickly green light. That usually meant one of two things, excitement or uneasiness— either way, investigating was exciting. Erebus turned to Kaito, suggesting they check it out, irregardless whether Kaito said no, Erebus was positive that it looked promising. “You ever been to Dahlia Kaito? Cause that there looks like a party,”

Kaito

He looks around and figures this creepy ass city really shouldn’t be his final resting place. He notes the man messing with the map, he wonders if they were getting closer to this goal of the other man. ”Yeah I gather die than get shoved back in a cell myself.” He looks at the mage when being asked where he was from. He contemplates if the man means his origin birth place or where he came from before coming to Fiore. He walks as he answers the man’s question to the best he can. ”If you are asking my place of birth I hadn’t the slightest, I grew up in a cell being tested on in a lab that sat on the boarder of Bosco, seven and iceberg. But after being saved I grew up in a small village of elves.” His voice trailed off a little as he looked into a fog as they walked thinking he saw something.

Kai readies himself feeling Revy moving around him. ”It is my first time here.” He wasn’t gonna be a coward here even if he had heard some nasty things about this place and wasn’t sure he was gonna be really any help in a pinch but he wasn’t gonna back down, he blows out frost. ”Yes this should be some much needed fun for a boring dark night.” He cracks a smile under his mask cause he figures if nothing else this is a good learning experience for him with a man he can only guess is leagues above him in strength.

Erebus

Erebus notes that apparently Kaito was from jail, or posing to find semblance beside a wanted criminal. Whatever the case the comment wasn’t far-fetched even if you spent your life locked in a bedroom by a crazy parent— being captive was plenty reason to escape the unsettling darkness should it find its hold on you. It crafted bravery, and invoked courage. So whatever this kid had been through, Erebus would hope to someday know. Perhaps in a few years Kaito would be someone of great interest to the Nightmare vigilante.

“I see— well it isn’t my first rodeo here in Vamp Town, so if a girl plops into your lap. Keep your alertness about where you are. My connection is upstairs and I doubt you’ll be allowed in the room after I reach the door, but to keep your spirits high we’ll hangout first.” Erebus said as he walked up to the House Party that seemed to be out of natural order in the times. The building was in high-repair and appraisal truly, but seemed right out of the 1920s, a relic of lost time. Especially considering the foggy smoke and dreary life outside of it’s flickering windows. It was the like the hub of the city was in this one, two story town-house...

Erebus didn’t take his helmet off, but he pushed the door in, snapping wood splinters from the side, He pushed through heavy dancing bodies, snagging a joint out of the hand of a groping gangly troop in the hallway. Making his way to a table he jumped over it, and relaxed. There was others on the opposite side but Erebus simply waved his hand to motion Kaito to hop the side and take a seat in front of a half bottle of Jim bean and some shot glasses. It was amazing how contradictory to his advice Erebus seemed to be.

But then again...

He had a death wish. Did Kaito?

Kaito

Kaito wondered if this man had a real sense of self or if he was a puppet, on someone else's strings, but he figured if this man was on to something he might as well follow in any case he wasn't just gonna back down to curl up and die in some back alleyway of this crap area. Kaito knows he has to be careful around this man, but he also knows this guy doesn't seem the welcome you in then backstab you type more the we gonna face to face you got no choice type.

"Pretty sure they second they touched me, they would rue the day they were born or turned." Kaito's voice was joking yet firm. He wasn't gonna let his guard down for anything in this place he has only heard rumors but he knows there are probably a few decent sized covens around these parts looking to recruit.

Revy pops up looking at the man. "No worries I will watch his back for him." Revy the heath colored exceed isn't as quick to trust this random dark mage they just happened to meet on their way.

Kaito looks at the building falling slightly behind the man he was following but hearing the man gaining entry he hurried and he followed him in, following him through the bodies that seemed to be nearly endless as he shoved through keeping an eye on the man and when the man signaled him to join him he joins him without a second thought not fearing might come but what he might have to do if the worst were to happen. Good or bad didn't matter when ones life was on the line and Kai wasn't gonna wait for a pretty red carpet to come rolling out to show him the way, he would carve that red carpet for himself and Revy to escape if it had to come to that kind of choice.

Erebus

When the boy plopped down beside him, Erebus handled the alcohol like a professional, having two small glass cups between his fingers he dipped two syrupy swigs to each glass and threw the bottle at the wall busting it instantly. The crowd went crazy, and everyone’s pace seemed to pick up, Erebus turned to his young comrade and offered him the glass.

“What you see before you, Kaito, is a beautiful time.” Erebus chimed, as women behind them dipped their heads lower and began to kiss their cheeks.

“Remember what I told you about not trusting right?” Erebus said, as he threw his dagger by Katio’s head and knifed the bare-chested blonde bombshell above his friend. The body went limp and fell. The intensity of the room escalated even further as everyone screamed in pleasure. All except for the other female who stared at them, unable to move for fear of who this Dark Mage was but sheer anger etched in her being.

“Lord Drakkenskid will see you now Gresham.” Erebus ignored her. If Kaito hadn’t drank his own shot by now, Erebus would have taken it for him, he stood up and narrowed his helm. This was an interesting first meeting. But Erebus had buisness to attend too, and he wanted to show this mage what fun the dark side could be. Tipping as his farewell, Erebus left.

Kaito however, would find out later his money was missing— pickpocketed on the leave from the couch. Rule number one— never trust anyone.

-Exit-

Kaito

Kai denied the glass cause he was not a drinker and had no interest in blunting his senses and he watches the man knowing he is probably up to no good, he watches the show and watches as the woman catch the dagger with her body and Kai nearly laughs at the fact they would be as dumb as to get close to them while they are armed in anyway.

Kai nodded to that man as he had said the trust no one thing, as the man goes out of ear shot Kai snaps his fingers and a white magic circle appears over his shoulder and he swipes his middle finger through it and it released a slash of wind that cut the other woman’s head clean off her shoulders. Then Kai stands and realizes he was right some idiot would steal the pouch of shiny polished rocks one day as he didn’t carry money on his person and the place his money is he couldn’t pickpocket from. He and his exceed just move the people and he leaves guessing him and this dark mage might meet again one day. He hopes they will have a good laugh about how he stole a pouch of polished shiny stones as a parting gift.
