"True, true. Though who knows if some of them will try anyways..." She said as she stopped next to a stump of a tree, then slowly sat down on it. Not minding the idea of being out in the forest, sleeping under the stars instead of underground in what only seemed to be bigger than a dungeon cell. Mostly because she had spent a few nights out in the woods on the assignment of killing her own father. And actually liked it compared to the cell of a room in the project. Though she was more intent on figuring out about who she was going to be traveling with.

"I'm from the Crepusculum Animae kingdom, by birth. Though honestly not like they ddi anything for me in return." She replied to Angel as she had asked the first question, guessing that it mean that they weren't from the same kingdom. "I'm guessing that your from Clarum Cordis kingdom then." She said with ease, with a slight smirk on her face. Almost wondering which questions were going to come next.

"Alright, then." He replied with a smile, with the deal being agreed to by both sides made it legit. After all he was suppose to be a magical warrior, he sure had enough of the warrior though none of the magic. Though after all, the project didn't just kill him afterwards at least.

"Well, it might be a little more complicated for me..." He said with a slight laugh to himself, knowing he had poked through the project's records, the alchemist's notes, the alchemist's research, along with other manuscripts. Though no really much on the magic side of it. Though he knew enough about the crystals, how to make them, and how to find them. Though he kept following along behind the guy as he guessed they were heading somewhere, probably towards a river or stream by the sound of water close by.

"Beautiful, some said weird and exotic." He said laughing slightly before continuing onwards. "And yeah, it's be shortened a lot. Mostly by survivor group members that can't pronounce it, or just want to have a little fun at it and find the weirdest shortenings of it." He said, as it was just there, besides it was going to come up when they actually came into contact with a survivor group.

"Well, for someone that takes field trips outside the wall, I wasn't guessing you weren't capable of taking care of yourself." He said with a smirk, even though he was just curious on how far she's been out not if she was capable or not. Remembering one time a girl in a survivor group had gotten him into a choke hold and held it there for a while until she was told to hold off by a member of the group that knew him. "Well, I guess you'll be able to see more of the world out here then. Seeing the places past the two skyscrapers and beyond. Lots of places out there."

She watched as Michael had taken out around four clips of bullets. "Okay, thanks" She replied take about two of them, and reached around opening the zipper on her duffle bag. Bringing out the gun then placing the clips into her pocket. Though keeping the gun out might be a safe idea, with clickers and runners that could be around at any moment. Then sliding the rope ladder that was under her arm putting it and the chain into the duffle bag then zipping it back up.

She carefully followed him out the door, and out onto the street. Following along behind him, noticing lights on some higher levels of the building they were getting closer to. Wondering if they just wanted to attract runners to them like flies or not. Though either way, what was life without a little risk, so she followed him around in anyways. Holding the gun in hand, just in case something were to happen.

"True, true. Though anyone human male would do things for a beautiful lady. Maybe it's true, or you can prove it to be true." He said with a slight shrug though it was even more so as well if the said beautiful lady was a magical creature like a siren, a harpy, or a vampire even. Then again he couldn't help wondering if she had ever found a human male that could resist it. Then again the odds were slim.

"Well, we better get this over with before he comes back." He said as he shifted the collar of his shirt down a little to expose his neck. "Anyways... well first time being bitten by something other than a beak. So I don't really know how this is going to go..."

Tsukuyomi

She couldn't really look as once the latte hit her and her scream came out did footsteps come flying out of the back, probably John if she had to guess. As the horns were starting the lift her hands of of her head by a few inches. She couldn't help much as John had told her he was going to deal with it as he took her by her shoulders and lead her into the back away from the steaming business man. Guessing now he knew she was a magical creature, as the tail was evidence of that enough. She couldn't help wondering if he might be one with his reaction to her, and not screaming from will the police or the army or someone else. Though in her current state she couldn't really ask.

"O- okay..." She muttered still a little shocked from the incident. Though the dripping wet latte was still not helping her, and she was starting to feel a little more on the cold side. "It... it was... I- I- I don't think I got burned as it... hit more on my hair and outfit than any skin. Though blinked a few times as she started to look up as John was already going back to face the business man. Taking her hands off of her horns as they were now fully out.

Overhearing the conversation that John was having with the business man, along with the footsteps of more people coming in. Starting to wonder when she came out of reality and into her worst nightmare ever. Though he was taking the calmer route with him, clearly the business man wasn't buying it.

"She should of made it right the first time." The business man said with a scoff, clearly not buying any of his polite stuff. "As I have a business meeting in a matter of minutes, and I don't have time to waste here with idiotic waitresses that can't make a latte to save their own skin. So, either make the latte right this time around or expect me to write a review of this place and get you and that little ditz you took back their fired!"

((Well, he's just asking for a splash of coffee with his attitude. XD Even though he is a device to move the plot forward. XD))

Braden

He couldn't help having indirectly told her she was beautiful which was an understatement, as she was. Beside having meet a few mermaids himself. All of them seemed to be stuck up and vain. Which wasn't very fun tangling with mermaids, as their conversation topics were just as shallow as the same guys around the water cooler.

He stood careful still as she leaned in closer and bite him. It wasn't at all pain full, compared to the beak bites it was nothing. Though he didn't mind at all. Knowing she would take enough that she needed, along with hoping that no one would just open the door and see this.

Tsukuyomi

She could only hear some of the things from the front of the cafe, hiding by the door trying to make sure she wasn't seen. Because right now with the tail and the horns, if one normal human spotted her it would be a mass panic leading to her death as well.

"Oh, and that's so threatening..." The business man said, not even looking at John still looking at his phone. Clearly not taking the guy seriously. Though seemed to be waiting easily for his coffee, though then again with serious business men types, he seemed to be more uptight and annoying than anything else. One John had finished his second attempt at his coffee, the only time he looked away from his phone at the coffee. He picked it up and once again sniffed it, even though his nose when up higher after sniffing it. Then placing the cup down after that. "Clearly no one in this place can make a de caffe latte correctly." He said with a scoff this time not throwing it. "This place needs to be closed. As this place brags that it's high end coffee and it gives out dirt cheap coffee."

((Well he trying to get coffee on him, and since we still need John to be revealed. XD))

"Well, in my case I had to make up a name that was more pronounceable than my real name. Only way I managed to get the weird names to stop." He said in reply knowing all the troubles that came with it. "That seemed to military makes those kind of mistakes all the time. Getting people killed, and the same people they "protect" they'll backstab them once their infected. Even though it was the military that got them infected."

He smiled as Adelaide was taking in the world out there, beyond the wall and the safe zone. He kept the thought silently to himself as he couldn't help thinking. Maybe in a set of different events he would have grown up inside the wall and be just as amazed of the outside. It was nice, a clear night with the stars shining above. He liked that view, that's why he stayed out here.

One she had hear Michael stay to put the gun away for currently, which she slide it into her other pants pocket. Then slowly sticked behind him, knowing that making enemies probably wasn't the best idea. And already counting the number of people that were there, wasn't good if they when towards shooting them. Though she decided it would be one of the best moments to be quiet. Listening to their shouts of thinking Michael was dead, and thinking they would die. Though then noticing the ones that were staring at him, some like deer in the headlights look other like the glares of daggers. Following Michael once he had motioned for her to follow into the other room, where behind a large curtain was a gaping hole possibly leading to the outside.

"Yeah, as some of those stares could kill." She said having the last part be quietly, knowing that once they were out of here she would be outside. Though she couldn't drop the feeling in her gut that something was a little off there, though maybe it was the over paranoid of her being on her own for a few years.

"I guess so." She said faking a gasp, even though it was highly apparent that it was fake. Without the kingdoms being a dividing line, they would have been just the same. Two magical warriors, though then again if it wasn't for two kingdoms it would be for two people. It was somewhat of a gray area there. Getting into the what ifs and all that.

"Well, sword versus sword. The classic as old as time." She said with a soft smirk, already guessing the crier's news running through her kingdom the war rages on. Then the project officials would send someone else after the other kingdoms Royal family, a never ending cycle. Only now, since she was alive and not following orders she was probably on the traitor list.

"If they did, I sure never saw it. I remember that little dungeon space that I was forced to call home. Treating us like prisoners more than anything else." She said with a sigh on her lips. "It's better out here. Like a hundred times better."

"Actually, on the topic of crystals, finding them can be difficult if you don't know what your looking for. While making them, can range from easy to complex. With the right process, making crystals is just... well simple mathematics and magical science equations." He said, knowing the ins and outs of crystals. As finding them were alright, as long as someone could find the sorce of magic for the desired Crystal. Like water crystals could be found in some rivers and at the bottom of some lakes, and light crystals could be found in areas with high light magic. Just finding those sources would be the difficult part. "That's where it gets complex." He said, probably making himself sound like a know it all on crystals, yet that was the ones he liked reading the most, the scrolls with the notes about crystals.

After a while they had reached a small creek, with clean water up here. Though probably got dirt down stream, eventually because if it didn't take any massive turns it would run straight into the battlefield. "Good idea." He said to the idea of resting there for the time being,as they had been running and walking for a good part of the night. Which would probably hurt tomorrow without rest. He walked over to a somewhat flat toped rock and sat down on it, as he needed some rest after all this crazy night had brought.

Kait Iris Nexus - Demonic Avenger (Demon Lord)

"Yeah, and if one of us survives doubt they give much of a thought about it." She said leaning slightly back in her sitting position on the stump while her gaze when up towards the stars. The royal families, the whole project, the battlefields, and even the war. All of it seemed now childish to her, as both royal families were like toddlers throwing tantrums trying to get though other one dead.

"For being rebellious and not following our "mission", most likely." She replied to Angel's statement sitting back up straight and bringing her eyes back down to look at her. "Guessing, first they'll probably think we're dead and not coming looking for us. Second, if our names start getting out there, then they'll know we're alive then try to kill us."

"Yeah, I guess it was try to make me "conform" to their obedient little soldier. All it actually did was make me want to get out of there, as it made me feel like a prisoner." She said in reply though it came out as more of a sigh. "Yes indeed. One step back in the place, we'll be like lambs heading to the slaughter. Well, we can run and hide and they won't ever find us. We can leave the war, and move to some other land by boat. Or we can start a uproar and destroy the project and possibly the kingdoms themselves. That's all I see option wise."

Alexander Marthen Manwell

He stayed silent for the time being, his knowledge of crystals was actually a good thing. Probably more for himself than anything else. "Well, once you get use to a weapon, like the weight of a rapier or hefty weight of a broadsword you'll get use to it. As all a weapon is, is an extension of your arm."

He had said his little bit, then looked over at the creek. Relaxing was nice, though he knew full well if he was going to sleep he was going to have to do it on the ground. Even though soo much running wasn't what he was expecting out here. Through the years in the project, he had noticed the different treatments towards people. Ones that were more dangerous, more they were swarmed with training, the alchemist's visits, even doctors visits. While the harmless ones, like himself the "noner' had more free time to themselves. To do with what they wanted too. Though now outside the project there was plenty of free time now, though honestly what to do with it? As he knew one thing for certain, deep in his gut, if either or both of them when back to the project now they'd be dead within seconds.

"Yeah, most of all when you know someone's making fun of you..." He muttered then dropping silent, after hearing her go silent. Because of his comment about the military, wondering if she had a different point of view. As he had the extremist view of it, that the military couldn't do anything right and letting them protect someone would be the fastest way to get someone killed.

"Well, we could go see some of the survivor groups. As I know most of them around here. We could go look at some of the cities, that use to be lively before the start of the... well end of times and end of humanity. We could go anywhere. You've just have to take your pick." He said with a smile knowing fully well that since he had been everywhere before, he'd let her choose.

"Well, that's a relief." She said, guessing he had heard her in order to say that. Which had subsided some of the gut feeling. "Surprised... So they've never seen a lady fighting against the military before?" She said with a slight laugh behind it. Once seeing him hop down and stretch out her hand out to her, which she took with a smile.

"Well, I guess it's only natural to be nervous. Being my first time and all. Though nice to know chivalry still exists." She said with a smile, even though the sinking feeling still remained. Guessing because it would be heading outside the wall. Beyond the military's protection, even though their protection did seem very helpful. Probably with a scanning system to see who's infected and who's not, that's she had hear about from soldier's whispers as they patrolled past her place. Though even with that, runners and clickers still managed to sneak their way into the safe zone. Either that or that someone let them into the "Safe Zone" trying to make it not so safe. So she had to learn to sleep with on eye open, because of that and them popping up around her place. So currently the outside even though more dangerous, was about as dangerous as the Safe Zone with someone "letting in" or even "making" infected in there.

Braden

He didn't mind much at all, and after she had started he could hardly feel it after. Guessing she would feel better with some blood after the hospital staff had lost their inside vampires. Even though he could guess by his blood she could guess what creature he was. Then again there were many creatures with feather out there, so maybe she couldn't tell who exactly it was.

He could feel when she pulled back, having gotten enough. He didn't feel really dizzy at all. He could guess that she was about to say something, though his eyes when to the door when it swung open. One of the cheerful girls, he could guess Eliza had talked to her to keep her insanity from becoming well insanity around here. Which she walked straight in with papers in hand.

"We are so doomed..." was the first thing that went through his head as he even stared at the girl. With the lightly bleeding bite mark along with himself still breathing.

Tsukuyomi

She had waited in the back, by the door hearing the whole exchange between John and the uptight business man. The whole heated argument, at which at the start of it all she and peeked out from the back to see what was going on. Along with seeing the black tail that was swishing violently behind John, so he was a magical creature as well. That's why he didn't react like a human when he saw her tail. Which point she duck her head back into the back room so she wouldn't be spotted, though with her luck today she probably was. She waited back there for a moment, then hearing the going ups of "Oh!" and "Ey!" probably from the sound of throw coffee, which was probably on the business man or at least she hoped it would be. Though she couldn't help being slightly shocked when John briskly ran back there, with ears even now. Though she was glad that the coffee was spilled on the sticky up business man and not on John like he had done to her.

"Yeah, as the police will probably becoming this way any minute now." She replied, mentally putting this job as a job she had to quit because of certain events and not in the fired category. Though knowing one thing all too well, running from the human police and the army was now what they would be doing. "Let's head out the back, and we better get going before the manage to trap us in here." She said running over to the back door out into the alleyway behind the cafe. "So let's get going."

Kait Iris Nexus - Demonic Avenger (Demon Lord)

"Yeah, you'd be the lucky one. They know my name as I was into the project moments after I was born. Even though I was signed up from it months before I was born." She said with as sigh at that moment. Remembering all too well, after digging through the records of the project. Seeing how her mother and given her up to the project and didn't do it with her supposed twin sisters. Then after her father had found out she was in the project he rebelled, leading to who she was now.

She personally was in favor of the uproar and destroying everything option, as it would be better for the people that where poor while not so much for the filthy rich. Killing both families and destroying the corrupt system. Though then they would end up on the thrones, of the newly formed kingdom or kingdoms. It would't be so bad, then again who would want the people who killed the last royal families to rule the kingdom or kingdoms. Then again with her ruling it, and the plague magic that ran through her veins, as no one in their right mind would want that.

While running away was a valid option was good, then again she didn't really like running from her problems as it would only just then come after her. While life in one of the smaller kingdoms that were untouched by the two larger ones and their war, it would be peaceful for a time. Until the two larger kingdoms decided to recruit more soldiers from other kingdoms and start taking over the smaller kingdoms one by one.

"Well, I guess this comes down to which one we want to go through with." She said, already knowing where her vote was going. Though having no idea what Angel was going to vote for. Either way, it would have to be a choice that they would have to live with afterwards.

Alexander Marthen Manwell

He nodded gently, guessing since swords or weapons would be an extension of the arm. Then magic would be an extension of the mind. Having not of thought of it that way with magic, though he was already sticking his nose into the crystal notes and crystal types scrolls.

"If I'd have to wager a guess. I'd have to say wind magic." He replied to the other guy's question, then listening to the rest of it. Water magic was a unique one and ice magic, after his show earlier, that one couldn't have been more odious. "I wouldn't say weird. I'd say unique. As each magic, at least in crystals, reacts with different types. Water and Ice together would go further and allow more things to be possible than just someone who could use just Fire magic." He said in reply, as most people that could actually use their magic was awesome in his mind. Then again without his magic he had his sword talents to make it by. So he couldn't complain much at if at all.

"Well... The what if still seems better than the reality for me. Maybe then they'd still be alive." She said with a shrug, even though she believed she had come out of alright in the end. Then again that was only in the end, not really happy with the events that had lead her there. Maybe if fate had taken a different path they wouldn't of had to die, though how was she to say what fate should do. "Yeah... No changing the past now."

"True, then vanish into the shadows of the night." She said hearing Angel talk about killing the royal families. "That way we avoid aging to take over ourselves. Though I can't help thinking the project creators will up the defenses in both kingdoms. Probably putting some people like us on guard duty around the castle. Which will make it more difficult..." She said as she laid back on the tree stump letting her hair lay on it and dangle over just hovering above the ground. "We'd either have to get a army of our own, more crystals to up magical power, or both. Because, with their sources they'll know where coming."

Alexander Marthen Manwell

"In support and healing abilities perhaps. Though most likely not on the attack abilities side." He replied even though he seemed disappointed by it, though with his "ability" if it could only cover support and healing then it was worth it. As he already had the weapon side covered extremely well. "True, no book will tell you how it will do something with magic. Though some books will tell you where you'll need to hit to kill someone with one blow." He said with a soft smile, as he had started from there. Noting where on the human body he'd have to hit, then working out the moves to get there himself. Much more effective than some of other's attempts back in the project.

"I don't know if I'd say I'm a fast learner." He said thinking about it for a moment, spending a lot of time to go and practice on his own. Though exited his thoughts as he couldn't come to an answer at that moment. "I doubt you'd annoy me. Only people that have managed to annoy me were a few fire magic guys. Because of a few names they call me, and they believed that magic trumped sword play. And... all I did was prove them wrong."

Braden

He was really wishing that he had the power to erase or alter memories right this second, though it was a little farfetched at this moment. All he could do was watch as the woman's smile shifted into shock after the truth had sank into her brain. Then had to watch her run out the door, which was probably the fastest he had ever seen someone run.

"Yeah, you can say that again." He replied with a whisper. Even though he could pass as just another human, until someone started getting curious about if she had turned him into a vampire. Which was a difficult topic to explain, which would lead to other questions and then he could think of two outcomes. They would think he was another vampire and try to kill him. Or find out the creature he actually was and still try to kill him. Both seemed to ending with death if he stuck around. "It's alright. Neither of us could of really have planned for someone else coming in here... With no "do not disturb" sign on the door." He said trying to stay calm and think of a way out of here. Well if he changed form he could fly them off the roof of the building, even though it wouldn't be able to get them out of the city it would get them out of this building, a metal death trap.

"Think we could make our way to the roof before the new spread through the office and the building?" He asked looking over at Eliza. "As... Well we could get out that way."

Tsukuyomi

She made her way down deeper into the alley, wanting to come out on a different street apart from the one that the cafe was on. Knowing fully well with this daylight hiding from people would be difficult if not impossible now. Though she knew on thing, they need to get out before the cops started blocking off the area to try and trap them in.

She looked back when John asked the question. "Well, first off. Away from here. Second, some place that isn't connected to either of us. Like some abandoned building or a foreclosed building, though something neither of us have been to." She replied with almost an eerie calm ease, guessing by the question it was his first time being officially outed as a magical creature. By this time it was her seventh, having died her hair in each place. First was in United States, California being a blond there. Second in was Europe, France being a brunette there. Third was in Egypt, South America being a red head there. Fourth was in the depths of China, having black hair. Fifth was in the cold mountains of Russia, having green hair. Sixth was somewhere in Australia having blue hair at the time, sure made hiding the horns easier. Now this time as seven, back to her original hair color of white.

"Towards the outskirts of the city, there are a lot of foreclosed buildings that way. Just have to get there first." She said peeking her head slightly out the alleyway, though the sounds of sirens in the distance wasn't the best of news to her. She turned her head back around to John, guessing he was on the verge of panic to panicking. "If we can get there, we can lay low for a while. Then when the heat dies down from this we can get out of the city. Think you can hold it together until we get there?"

Hearing her go silent for a bit was kind of unnerving for him, though he had kept it hidden. Guessing she was thinking of what he could gain by dropping everything and taking her anywhere she wanted to go. And if he wasn't himself he'd be a little questionable about it as well. Then again he was himself, and he had nothing else to do. As he was going to see the "Runnerassins" as a casual visit, and they own him some goods for his help with the clickers that tried to infect all of them. Managing to lose one guy due to him being bitten and having to kill him, though it was either that or have a Runner around to try and kill them. Remembering the groups he had run across on his travels some of them had asked him if he'd like to join them. Though he knew that he was a "free-lancer" or a "loner" for lack of a better term, though probably if he had to join a group some of them would be happier to have him than others.

"The cities, good choice." He said with a smile after hearing her answer. "Some survivor groups probably are rolled up in some of the buildings. Well, we I last saw them unless they moved areas. So we might run across some of them." He said thinking of the nearest city with two groups that where in the area, last he checked or saw. "Well then. To the nearest city then."

"Well, I never said I was look for safe. Besides what's life without the risk of dying? A little boring for my taste." She said in reply, guessing the "someone like me" line was meaning he was the dangerous type of person. Not that she minded much at all, even though it made him sound like some book or comic book character. One her mother use to tell her tales about, some guy named after a bat or something like that. With that one memory the thoughts of her mother came back into her mind. Knowing with clickers, runners, and anything else out there she wouldn't stop until they were dead. Taking one down at a time, bless the group that attacked was too many in number. Mostly because she wasn't stupid, and she couldn't get her revenge if she was dead. Though finding it quiet ironic she was wanting a genocide on clickers, runners, and creatures alike. Though wasn't okay with kill people that weren't infected. She shrugged the thought off decided to get back to reality.

"Well, I'm not that nervous. Last time I panicked was several years ago, having found a place to hide then hearing some runners coming up the stairwell." She said in reply hoping that reassured him, still remembering that night all too well. First night she had found that department store to call home, then to hear the runners coming up the stairs. She did panic then, though thankfully the stairwell was an easy kill zone and with a few shots, well a whole clip do to being a bad shot back then, were all of them down. That was when she started with the booby traps, along with learning to control her own panic streaks. She followed along behind him, as the tunnel took an abrupt turn and there were small light bulbs leading onward down the tunnel. Guessing that was a signal they were getting closer to the outside. She smiled softly, a little excited about her first time outside the safe zone.

"I guess, doesn't mean I can wish to change it from time to time." She said with a sigh while she was still laying back on the tree stump. Even though knowing it couldn't be changed, she still wanted it at times to have not existed. Maybe it would have been better. Though she dismissed the thought once the "what ifs" start coming into play.

"True, they'll have the weaker ones around. Though though "weaker" warriors could become a nightmare and a half. Once their pumped up with crystals." She said in reply, trying to think like their "enemy". Probably the only advantage they'd have. "As, for sake of argument, I'll be the creator of these warriors in either mine or your kingdom..." She said rolling over on her stomach and turning around to look at Angel. "I've just learned that some of my warriors have decided to go rouge. And for sake of this little idea, let's say I've caught wind that these rouge warriors are going to kill both kingdom's royal families. Starting with the kingdom I've been creating warriors in. Leaving me with the weaker warriors and several young warriors, not trained much or if at all. Along with I'm sitting on a huge store of crystals. What would I do?" She said as she was running through her own thoughts aloud, even though going through it for herself as well. "Assuming that I'm fairly intelligent, I'd take the crystals I have and start plugging them into the warriors I have. Disregarding if they match the magic they have already. Then start training them day and night knowing fully well that the warriors I want dead are coming to me and I'll have the home field advantage. Though that's only assuming if I'm intelligent." She said ending that one possible option for their "enemy". "Though if I'm not intelligent, I'd probably start sticking every warrior full of crystals probably killing a few of them in the process. Then leave them on their own to try and control their new abilities. Waiting for the warriors I want dead. Either side of this, they'd probably use the crystals they have, knowing that they're up against." She said with a sigh, knowing fully well that both options were her own guesses and nothing more.

"While I wouldn't mind sticking out of the crystals either. Though with both kingdoms sitting on a large store of them, most likely..." She said with a sigh at first. "Though it's only myself assuming they'd use them. We could spy on the kingdoms and see if they put warriors on the guard patrols and see if they have visible crystal injection marks or the effects of the crystals showing through..." She said realizing she had been talking a lot for this part of it. Then realizing the long explanation she has said before this little part. "Sorry, though as I was usually told. Know my enemy as well as myself."

Alexander Marthen Manwell

"Yeah, I'll just have to be creative then." He replied with a slight smile on his face. Guessing eventually he'd learn to use his magic for different things. Enchanting his own weapon, and doing other things as well. Maybe sometime down the road he could do something with it, though that would be sometime down the road.

"Sure, I guess." He replied with a slight shrug of his shoulders as he gently removed the scabbard from his belt and extended it, hilt side towards the other guy, so he could look it over. Guessing he was going to try and make a replica of it out of ice.

He stayed quiet, as the "do not disturb" sign would have been a good idea. Though that was full of what ifs in that statement. Which made him dismiss it just as quickly, as he wasn't a fan of thinking of the what if statements. Just because it would make him worry more and more.

"Yeah, we don't have much time..." He replied as he looked out the door she had opened. Some people had left, probably running as fast as they could. While others were more curious about what had happened. This being one of the jobs he had held for a while, though clearly now that was over.

He walked out behind her, nice and calmly, waiting to avoid the looking eyes of the humans left in there. He noticed as she had looked back at him, then started running down the corridor after her. "While elevator maybe quick, though its also a metal trap once it's stopped. So stairs. We could knock away some humans more than move an elevator.

"Good, as panic will get you captured the quickest out here." She replied to his answer knowing that all to well herself. Knowing the abandoned building in the area would be prime searching area for the police, farther towards the edge of the city would be a better idea.

She watched, noting as the sirens got louder, as John had slammed the police office into the nearest wall as he fell to the ground with a groan. At least the guy could take care of himself that she was happy for. Waiting as he easily was next to her in a few seconds. "Good, since you know a place you go. You can lead the way."

"Well, it would be. Though to those of us that live outside the Wall consider this part of the Wall area." He replied with a slight subtle shrug. As to get to the next nearest city they would have to go through the last parts of this one, which was two birds with one stone kind of situation.

He did hear here stumble over something on or in the ground, though it wasn't the large falling on the face kind of thing. Though he pretended not to notice, remembering he had tripped over several things when he was young living out here. Though now, he still did trip over things now and then. Though not as often as when he was young. He looked back at Adelaide at that moment, pretending he didn't hear her trip and stumble a little. "Well, do you want to keep going. Or find a place to rest for a bit?"

"Before this whole thing started... Wonder if those days will ever come around again..." She said sorted wondering it for herself. Though no real picture ever formed in her head. Because there was hardly any of those times left, so maybe it was just a dream made by humanity during the first weeks of this. In the small hope that things would become normal again. "Along with they look close to normal humans. Though for some reason, Clickers liked my place. Then the runners, if any, came along after I'd had killed the Clickers."

She saw the ladder and watched as Michael had climbed up first. In which she slowly followed up in a foot or too behind him. Watching as he pushed a thing, probably a wooden lid then getting out of the hole. She followed slowly and softly out after his hushed whisper that it was safe, climbing out of the hole herself. Then looking over at Michael staying silent as Clickers could be around at any moment.

He briskly ran after her, watching as she hopped somewhat awkwardly on one foot then the other to get the high heels off. At which point he had past her, once afterwards with her shoes in her hand she was following behind him. Easier than before hand.

"Well, flying off towards the city's edge." He replied already guessing she knew about him being some bird from his blood. "Landing towards the city's edge, then probably taking cover until the heat dies down from the cops looking for us.

Tsukuyomi

"That odious, huh." She said in reply with a smirk on her face, as she as well broke into a sprint after him. Wondering if he had thoughts about that his car, as police could track that with ease. Most of all if they had the license plate number of it. Though she was at least glad that he was getting over his panic, and had appeared to have calmed down a bit. With the initial shock out of his systems, or at least she could hope.

With the police officers appearing in front of them, threatening to shoot if they didn't "surrender" to them. Though knowing what that surrendering could come to, she kept on running anyways. Contemplating wither or not she should shift over to her full creature form which would make it easier. Though for now she was sure she could dodge a few shots for the time being. Then changed over to her full creature form in private.

"Yes assuming. Though I know back in my old kingdom, they had scouts looking for information about anyone either looking into the project and sometimes watching those in the project as well. No such thing as privacy back there. And that would be the only way they knew of that one little incident..." She said in reply while her eyes looking down at the ground, as they knew all about her father's finding out she was in the project and him killing the rest of her old family in a matter of time. Like easily a day after it had happened, maybe even faster. As a few days later when she told about it. Then again maybe whoever ran it in her old kingdom was a little more paranoid than whoever ran it in Angel's old kingdom.

"They might thing that. They might. Though I guess I have a bias to be on the side that they, or at least back in my old kingdom, already know of it..." She said slightly expressing her bias in the view of them knowing what they were up too. "As they knew of some traitor's acts almost too fast, from what I could overhear... along with that one..." She said with a sigh, while it seemed to be almost a breeze to get through Angel's old kingdom and kill their royal family, though her old kingdom and it's shady higher ups and almost omni-essense when it came to traitors was too good for them alone. So destroying one kingdom's royal family would be easy though destroying both would swap from easy to hard in a matter of days. "True, for protecting each other. Though I wouldn't be surprised if they threw away their lives for the royal family they serve. Which would be a pile of corpses along with the whole castle knowing we were in there."

She sighed in the end, as it was a very pessimistic view though it's honestly how she saw it. They'd need a large amount of planning and some more training just to getting it to work. Which wasn't making anything seem simply about killing both, unless... "Say one of us goes through with killing one of the families. The one we were assigned to target. That one can go back to their kingdom and say they did it. Which they'll hold a large celebration for them becoming the leaders of one kingdom. During the celebration it would be easy to kill of them leading to one kingdom with new leaders that will lead them right."

He watched as the other guy had tried about two attempts to make a perfect copy of his sword out of ice. Then going on to make smaller version of it, after wards. He was quite in awe from what his ice magic could do. "No problem, no problem at all." He said with a smile as he gently took his sword back from the other guy.

Then watching as he had melted the sword keeping just one little knife to playa round with him. "Yeah we should get going soon. I guess we should because I bet those thugs wouldn't mind the rumors about this place."

"Alright." He said in reply with a slightly hidden smile on his face. Even though he could keep going for a while longer, it would be wise to get the rest when it was around. Because sometimes it wasn't always around tomorrow. Knowing it all to well from experience himself. He stayed silent when she had gone silent, wondering what she was thinking about at that moment. Even though he'd probably never know what she was thinking about in the end. Along with the subtle fact that they would have to avoid dying out here, as that would make this large scale "field trip" end on a sour note.

He looked up at the small looking apartment building that they had come a crossed, which could give them a few hours before having to get on the move again. Along with compared to everything else around, it was one of the better ones. With the front door hanging open, it was probably empty. "Seems alright..." He said in almost a quiet whisper, being careful just in case. Because he didn't want to chance if their were runners or possible clickers inside.

She nodded in agreement to his comment that the world could return to normal if someone managed to exterminate all of the infected. Though until that seemingly impossible fact would come to past this would be how the world worked. Surviving against the numbered of infected out there and making ever day count. Reminded her of a book she had stumbled across on one of her "foraging" trips inside the wall. Some book about a destroyed world, skies painted gray, and fighting to survive and using anything they could find to survive. Almost sounded very close to the world they were living in, just minus the infected.

"Okay." She replied when he said nothing was around, guessing he had seen her go silent. She shifted the duffle bag from one shoulder to the other careful, as she withdraw the gun from her pocket she had put it in. She hadn't swapped out the clip yet, because there was still two bullets in the one she could still us and she didn't want to waste any ammo. "This could be fun." She said with a smirk on her face as she paced herself behind him, making sure to keep up with him as well.

He ran up the stairs, running like their lives were on the line which was somewhat true. Knowing that if they stopped in here they'd become some kind of science experiment in a lab who-knows-where. Where the "humane" aspect wouldn't be in what they would do to them there.

"Well, just don't look down. That's really all I can say." He replied trying to be encouraging to help her along. Knowing well with his wings they could get out of this situation and then find a way out of the city. Though probably the fear of capture and being the newest experiment in a lab was probably what made her swallow her own fear of heights. He was somewhat on the verge of panting, with all the stairs they had to climb and now they were at the end of the stairs. He followed out the door after she had pushed it open and walked out it by a few steps. From behind her he shifted into his griffin form, which his golden and white feathers on his head and his wings while his lion's paws gently padded forward in front of the girl now. His eyes looking back at her from and height position, being about two times bigger than the size of a normal horse. "Well, you can say you've ridden on the back of a griffin after his." He said through his own beak, at least he could still talk, as he laid down on the building so she could get on his back. "So, all aboard Air Griffin."

Tsukuyomi

This whole scene, the police shooting at them, dodging bullets, and the shouting of the police. Seemed like it came right out of an action movie, minus the bad acting, cheap effects, and the bad screenwriting. Though it was nice for her to be back in a somewhat creature form, knowing well that she wanted to shift over to her full form. Though in the mist of gun fire this probably wasn't the best time. Though after dodging a few bullets then round-house kicking one of the police officer's that were trying to grab her, even using the tail to smack one of them away then to keep on running.

Which after getting to a clearly shot in the mist of the chaos to keep running she couldn't help wondering what creature that John was. As the ears did narrow the list quite a bit, though it didn't help her pin it down to one creature. Maybe a kitsune with one tail, no that didn't seem quite right. He could be a neko maybe. She mental cursed herself for not looking into the "living" magical creature types, because she knew a fair amount or all of the undead ones. Though not many of the living variety.
