[02] I didn't choose this, but I will protect all of you. (Open for Both Week 1 or 2)

Characters: Demi-Fiend and Everyone (Along with a close part for the belated Crate Stuff of last week)
Setting: Various places in the tower (see below)
Format: Starting out in Prose but I will follow if you wish to do power action brackets.
Summary: Demi-Fiend wanders around the tower, trying to help out and saving others. Only problem is he looks like a demon.
Warnings: HALF DEMONS.

ANYWHERE YOU LIKE (General)
Despite the darkness around the tower, you would find him riding a great white beast, the markings on his body much more noticeable as the weeks go on by. They glow in the dark as well. Demi-Fiend will try to help those that need help as best as he can, but you might need to speak to him first; he is not a boy of many words and has been on the edge considering he has no idea where Lucifer went along with most of those he met not too long ago.

However, he is still a teenager; and despite almost being used to being alone with his demon friends, Naoki also secretly desires some human contact...even if he's sometimes slightly disappointed by how they see him now...

⌘

Floor Thirty-Four : Flight and/or supernatural powers do not work on this floor (CLOSED TO Demi-Fiend, Rin, Xehanort, Terra, Riku)

...huh. Usually he would walk quickly by the floor due to the power dampening which made him uneasy despite his natural abilities, but that giant crate was completely suspicious. He walked over to it, pushing it curiously to see if he could lift it properly...

⌘

Floor Thirty : NIGHTTIME 24/7 Floor
Food was scarce at this point. Naoki had eaten only one of the bars he had managed to find and given away all the others.

He...didn't really need that much nourishment like before, really. Not when there was bigger game to hunt, so to speak. Even being a half-demon, he could feed off the essence of the monsters, and had used this skill in the Vortex World to survive. In a way it had become almost routine, falling back into it now was as naturally as switching a pair of socks. If he couldn't get it from the tower's food supply, he'd simply kill off a supply of monsters. There always was a danger of being outnumbered, of course...but that was truthfully part of the thrill.

He didn't expect company, but once in a while, the tower had a tendency of dropping people here, and they might be thankful that there weren't just monsters, but a half-demon ready to defend their back...

⌘

Floor Twenty-Five: Meadow
Even during a period of stress in the tower, it wasn't surprising for the Demi-Fiend to be found in the meadow, if only for short times. He wasn't having much rest, what with the monsters running amok everywhere.

Btu still...he couldn't help but bury his face in a bunch of daisies once in a while. You might catch him doing that.

⌘

Floor Thirteen : Cathedral
Demi stood outside and quietly pondered how he could properly destroy this place.

...yes that was pretty much all he was doing. He wasn't a perfect half-demon either.

⌘

Floor Ten: Fishes
Well...he wasn't a good as he was of a runner in Track and Field, but Naoki most certainly had had his share on the swim team. And while some of the fish did seem rare, the needs of the many outweighed the need of the one. You could find him jumping into the free-floating water, attacking schools of fish of even taking on a man-eating shark, attempting to choke it underwater.

⌘

Floor Six: Forest
Guess who was hunting for wild game; this guy. He was not a quiet guy, but he certainly knew how to take out a giant animal of need be.

[OOC - Rin and Demi will for for two tags, then Xeno joins in for a few tags, then Terra choices, then Riku.]

[Fuhito visits the Meadow regularly. Even in its current state, he finds it rejuvenating.

He sees something new has been added. A-- humanoid being of some sort lying face down in the flowers. How fortuitous. If the body is merely badly injured, he'll take it back to the Laboratory.

What unusual patterning. He approaches, dropping to a crouch. He decides to announce himself before checking for a pulse.]

Are you in need of assistance?

[Demi snaps up, his hair covered in pieces of flowers he has rolled in. He doesn't recognize this person so he is naturally weary as he is with everyone, but shakes his head at his question.

No really, the guy with the tattoos and the weird fin thing from his neck is totally fine. Ignore the flowers in his hair.]

[When Rin stepped onto the 34th floor, he half expected to find the floor slick with acid or crawling with 60 foot monsters. The strange-looking guy, however, was the last thing he expected to see. He considered moving on, but it wasn't often that you'd meet a guy that looked like that. Or a crate, for that matter.]

Yo. ...What's in the box?

[Demi's head peeks from behind the crate to to look at him shrugging. Without being able to summon or...well with most of his strength and everything gone due to the room's...however they can do it, he gives an experimental push on top.

At least he did Track and Field so the top comes off fairly quickly. With a surprised look, he looks over at Rin again.

Damn it, what if this guy is gonna horde all of these? He can't let him do that. Despite the fact he is depowered, he quickly closes it and attempts to push it towards the stairs...this...might take a while.]

...

[Faster...]

Edited 2012-06-11 21:01 (UTC)

[...Carefully leans over and stares into the water where that random, weird-looking guy jumped into. Because...well, he was gonna try fishing here, but uh...]

[WHEN SUDDENLY the guy in question peeks from out of the water, breathing in the air, throwing a fish on the floor.

Oooh!

...uh.

Hello guy.

Demi looks like he's about to say something, when his leg is violently grabbed by one of the giant sharks and he's pulled RIGHT BACK IN. Best first impressions.]

...Hitoshura-san?

[Don't mind him just approaching you half-confused on why his roomie's here.]

...

[Give him a second, he's gonna change into his Zora Armor. He knew it'd come in handy if he took it with him!

Hold on strange, tattooed guy, he's coming!]

[What an odd picture. Fuhtio has seen (and been) many strange things in his time, but this-- it's the flowers really. Incongruous.

The markings and fin-like formation he accepts on first glance as normal for this being. He (if secondary sex characteristics are similar to he human standard) appears to be uninjured and in no physical distress. Which is a little disappointing, though Fuhito is diplomatic enough not to let that show. He nods.]

I've come across a few injured prisoners since the loss of power. I can see that you aren't among their number.

I am Fuhito, a scientist.

[ Weeeeell it seemed like her powers were just poof, gone, up in the air, like a pound a day or some sort of arbitrary measuring system. No, she wasn't keeping count, but it was obvious that Filia was just as affected as everyone else that had remained in the tower.

She was a dragon, you see. And while it hadn't quite got to the point where she could no longer take human form, it was much easier to relinquish it and operate as a golden dragon instead. This worked, here especially, in the aquarium.

Though she lacked gills, her aerodynamic (?!) frame made it entirely possible to mistake her for the very thing (fish) she was in the middle of hunting... ]

Edited 2012-06-13 04:26 (UTC)

[In response he raises his hand, shaking it before pointing to the floating creature behind him that has been listening in but was probably going to try and surprise him. Pixie. No. Bad demonic fairy.]

Aww! I wasn't going to scream at him...much.

[She moves in front of him and introduces herself properly.]

Hello! My name is Pixie, and that's Hitoshura!

[Well at least he doesn't look like he's bleeding at all from this wound, mostly annoyed at what it's doing. He can only hold his breath for so long and that fin isn't a sign he can swim dammit. STUPID SHARK.

Wait, what's the other guy putting on?]

[Oh hello roomie, don't mind Naoki frowning before giving the other a small nod of acknowledgement. Wait...what are you doing here? He raises an eyebrow inquisitively.]

[Was that...a dinosaur of some sort? Naoki wasn't too sure, to be honest, but he did know something.

This could be a lot of food for the people in the tower. Especially since it was eating the other fish in the area and clearly he could kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. Cracking his fingers, he waited for the right moment, leaped in and...grabbed her tail.

~~Somewhere Xellos is like "L O L"~~]

Edited 2012-06-13 05:22 (UTC)

[Magical scubagear armor. It looks about as ridiculous as it sounds.]

Hold on! [He slings his sword on, checks to make sure he's got his clawshot, then takes a deep breath before sliding the black undershirt thing over the bottom of his face and diving right in and-oh great YHVH, he's going to try to kill the shark, isn't he?]

[Huh. That's...certainly a strange set of armor.

Well Naoki isn't going to stop him regardless. In fact he seems to be trying to push himself upward despite the fast moving currents to try and make a grab for the animal's gills.

...it's harder than it looks.]

[ The water did a good job of muffling her startled (and outraged) cry, but it was easy to tell -- lots of bubbles around her head. Gurgling, too.

She thrashed, hoping to throw off whoever had the audacity to grab her tail and give them a piece of her mind. ]

[Good. The demonic blood had been bubbling more during the last week than before, making him think much more instinctively. Gurgling meant that it needed to breathe air, and therefore he could drown it. He was...perhaps enjoying this a little more than he would have been, normally.

If Filia looked behind her, she would see Naoki's form, the tattoos on him glowing a bright green, one hand opened and what looked like the beginning of an electrical attack being gathered into his palm...still holding on tightly.]

[ What was up with her and demons? Or demon-like things, in the case of Xellos. (Yes, things.) She'd been such an obedient priestess...!

Until she'd defected to Lina's group entirely, but details, shmetails. She had good reasons! ]

Let - go of - me --! [ Came out more like glarghgluggaughroar, though.

Oh, was that lightning he was summoning? Not good! She opened her mouth, releasing a particularly cross laser breath at him. ]

[Wait a minute...he heard her talk! That meant it wasn't actually one of the fish in this level and--]

[He stopped the spell by crushing his hand, but not before that laser breath hit him with all its force. Thankfully the Magatama protected him from most of it, but considering the fact it wasn't magic from his world thus not bound by the same rules it...still gave him a small punch. He voluntarily let go of the tail, before making a 'Time Out' motion with his hand once he was back on solid ground.

...hopefully it knew what a time out motion meant.]

[ She whipped around to face him as soon as he'd let go, ready to go again if necessary, but caught notice of his request for a Time Out and paused, wary.

Her lungs decided for her. Filia stuck her head out, gasping for breath, then... 'hopped' the rest of the way out.

She swiveled to face him. Being reduced to less than eight feet in height kind of killed her intimidation factor, but whatever!! She was still a golden dragon! ]

Just what do you think you're doing?

[You can try being intimidating, Golden One, the bigger they were, the harder they fell. But he did kinda sorta almost feel guilty of nearly trying to take down one of the tower's residents for food.]

...I thought you were food?

[You didn't realize the chance you had of him speaking a whole five words. Because let's face it, ha ha ha one of the last remaining Golden Dragons being thought of as nothing more than food, how insulting was that?]

Edited 2012-06-13 06:57 (UTC)

Rampant problems in the tower or not, constant stress never did anyone any good. So when Fado sees this...rather interesting looking fellow burying his face in the flowers, he can't help but let out a good spirited laugh.

"Enjoying yourself, are we?"

[ Her jaw dropped. ]

Food? Food? [ The second round came out in a hair-raising shrill.

He thought her food! (Food!) ]

I am a golden dragon, not to be eaten by any stretch of the imagination. [ The collar around her neck, adapted to her increased size, said as much, but she's too offended to point that out to him. ]

Let him roll into another patch before answering. He shook his entire body like a wild animal, the pollen falling off before grinning and nodding.

"Aww you're kinda breaking all the flowers that way, you big meanie!"

Pixie's voice breaks behind him and she peeks from his shoulder before settling on his head, giving him a few tugs at his hair. She seems to be more playfully teasing him than being serious, even as he tries to swat her away. She just moves at the last minute.

"Oh! Hey! Who's the new guy? ...he's pretty cute."

[Wow okay there Golden Shrieking Harpy, he got the message loud and clear. Tch. That was a good time to actually notice that collar actually, confirming what she was saying.]

...sorry?

[You know, you would have fed a lot of people in the tower. Just uh...tossing it out there.]

Edited 2012-06-13 07:18 (UTC)

[ hdu, she is no harpy! ]

Hmph! [ She crossed her arms over her chest, but dragon proportions did not allow her the same effect -- her arms were just a tad too short.

Buuuut she can't really blame him, what with the food shortage and all. Her expression softened. ]

Are you hungry? I can try to catch something for you. [ not me, tyvm. ]

He let out another laugh as he watched the two, but when Pixie turned her attention to him, he gave a small bow of his head.

"Forgive me, I did not mean to intrude-- I am Fado of the Kokiri Tribe." And this time, a mischievous chuckle to go along with a grin. "You're not so bad yourself~"

[Fuhito blinks in, what is for him, mild surprise.]

I see. Pixie.
Do you function as-- Hitoshura's voice?

[ ... Speaking of demons?

There is a demon here, as well, though he--doesn't exactly feel like one. In fact, he feels like some weird cross between a ghost, a demon, and something... but what? A gun? A weapon? What is it?

Either way, you're not the only one spending your time here murdering things, Naoki; but this guy isn't doing it for any other reason than an outlet for his powers which have been going a little haywire.

The crapload of summoned daggers and swords? You... may want to avoid those as they fly through the air impaling anything they touch, bro.

He's violently grabbing things, smashing them, and otherwise ripping things apart.

The site is a little horrific.

What's odder is that he really doesn't LOOK too demonic, given the weird appearance and haircut and whatnot. He does pause to lick whatever blood he ends up with off his gloved finger, though. ]

[You do that, he's going to be swimming over at a semi-steady pace, also trying to get closer to the gills. When he gets close enough, he's reaches for his clawshot, aims, and fires, latching onto the gills and bringing himself much closer. That was the easy part.

The hard part is killing the thing in the first place.]

[She lets out a small giggle, before resting on Demi's shoulder, giving him a small push.]

Nah. He's just not very talkative! Unlike me, that is.

[Very few demons, half demons or humans are more talkactive than you Pixie. There is a sigh from Naoki as she says that too.]

[Wow, this guy is like Loki if he had a human skin color and his skin color was now his hair. Sort of. Demi didn't really know that many fabulous demons, but his mind quickly went to that one as he watched him murdering a few creatures. One of the dagger's passed close to his face but thanks to the powers of the Masakados, it felt more like a close shave he didn't need due to lack of facial hair than anything painful.]

Well, at least someone's having fun.

[The Vortex world has its share of creatures like that. He is reminded of Sakahagi.]

O-oh! Uh, I was just exploring this place for some clues.

[Since that's totally a fine thing to do right.]

[ ... Sakahagi would be a somewhat apt comparison with the bloodshed he's made. Ghirahim throws the body of some random monster, and it cracks at an odd angle as the life leaves it. The daggers handle the smaller ones. ]

Oh, this? No, not at all. I would much rather dabble in fighting things more... intelligent. I would be careful if I were you, the daggers aren't exactly in my control.

[ He sighs dramatically as something attempts to sneak up on him from behind, where he now summons a rapier to carve it cleanly in half with one downward stroke. ]

[Oh well, it looks like the other guy got to the gills faster than him. That's good, and he tries again on the other side, in hopes of unbalancing the fish.

He raises his hand through the water and a sort of sword appears, as he slashes down right into the fish's lungs.]

[Hey Naoki's not the type to judge. He just sticks out his tongue in disgust at the church.]

[At this, he grins, laughing quietly.]

No need. It's not for me.

[He was trying to take you down. Obviously he can hunt by himself pretty easily, if he wasn't afraid of you. But it is appreciated. You appear to be a nice dragon.

...he wonders if he could recruit you in his team. Hmmmm...]

TRIBE. He had said tribe and completely caught Demi's attention. That could mean he was recruitable and in this place, it was important to have more than a few allies. He gave a nod at Pixie, meaning, yes, she could try to do her recruiting thing.

Which meant. Shameless flirting.

"Oh no worries about that," she responded with a giggle. "We were just having fun. So tell me Fado, is that instrument of yours just for show, or can you really use it well?"

...uhh PIxie don't go overboard, wow. He wanted to recruit him, not have him melt into a puddle or something.

[He raises up a hand just as a dagger passes by and stops it between his fingers, before crushing it. It might not hurt him, but it could be harmful if someone less powerful walks around here.]

What, you can't turn them off?

[What an-- interesting pair.]

I take it you come from the same world. You seem-- friendly with each other.

Were you brought to the Tower together?

...You don't like the church?

[Well, to be honest he's not exactly a religious guy either.]

No.

[Well that certainly explains everything! Except not really.]

Well he can summon me so I guess we did!

[Naoki just shrugs as he's not sure how it works exactly himself...]

And nah, he came from Earth, but I'm from the Vortex World!

Then why're you here then?

[He'd ask why he hates it but nope, not that close yet...!]

Flirt all you want Pixie, but double entendres are going riiiiight over his head. Especially when it comes to his violin, which along with his bow were now held behind him as his arms folded behind his back.

"Carrying around such a thing simply for show would be rather crass of me, wouldn't it? I am one of the most skilled and practiced musicians of my time, and among my company if I do say so."

~~Eeeegooooo~~
