 It was sundown, an unseen blanket of darkness was gradually been lowered down over the territory's daylight chaos. Night was arriving, proclaimed by a blinding orange sun that pierced through an immense, jagged, fragmented clusters of clouds in the west--sharply defined shafts of energy plunges over the horizon, unwilling to lose control over the light it had. A man appeared from the horizon, a eerie smile on his face. Something great is going to happen in this small town. Invitations had been sent out to all the members of various constellations, inviting them to take part in this treasure hunt for the elusive jewel-- The Mohan. The Jewel is rumored to be able to enhance the owner's powers and abilities by ten-fold. He walks casually to the appointed destination, an abandon warehouse located to the south of the city. It was empty, he frowned, looked at his watch. He was early, very early indeed. Leaning against one of the walls filled with drawings, he loosen himself as he waits, for his victims to start arriving. Rules

| Sokurunde Watashi Sokurunde walked into Sunset Town and thought about a game in which this town was named after, he could not remember the name. "Oh well!" He thought. "I don't think that matters anyways! After all, it is not like something mysterious will happen here like it does in that game!" Sokurunde kept walking on through Sunset Town and yawned. He saw an abanded Warehouse and walked inside. |

| "The invitation says here..." Mei said reading her invitation and looking up at the abandoned warehouse. She walked around a bit looking for a door, she found one and opened it. She walked into a dark room with the empty presence of a man who was leaning on the wall. Her presence was masked, like always, but she knew he would notice her. A person with a presence like that wouldn't miss much of a thing, but things aren't always what they seem. |
| Even Death has a heart It's okay to spin around and around in the same place. Just so long as you're singing your heart out. THAT's what life's all about. |
| "Hailing from Tuarus and all its Sun filled glory, a young man named Lanceus son of Amadeus had journeyed to the small town of 'Sunset' seeking the bem said that will make one more 10 times more powerful and... hmmm... I think I need more time and planning to make my autobiography someday" said Lance aloud as he wandered the darkening streets of the town. Lance looked at the softly lit buildings and the last glimmering rays pass over the western horizon and watched the glorious one of the many suns that his people, the horned ones, held sacred and dedicated themselves as its heralds and guardians. "Perhaps I'm sounding to boastful, talking about myself like that? Maybe speaking and writing in the 3rd person would make me appear more like a Jackass than say Taurus..." said Lance busy being bored out of his bloody mind as he wandered into the warehouse district. "Maybe I should also stop talking to myself aloud... lest someone hear me and think me mad...." said Lance stopping at was suppose to be the appointed place according to the invite he 'won' in a street fight not so long ago on Scorpio, but that's a story for another time... He then knocked on the steel plated door of the warehouse and said "Helllllllllllllo? Anybody home?" |
 |
| The man was getting bored, the sun is setting down and he is afraid that he might lose his sanity any time soon. It wasn't a good sign, the beauty of night time is too good not to go hunting. He closes his eyes as he revisits the scene where he got his last victim. The blood that spurred out like the fountain, dying his hands. The iron scent he smells and the disappearing heartbeat he hears makes his tremble with excitement. How he longed to go through it again, he swears he could almost reaches out for it. Inhaling deeply though his nose and out from his mouth, he knew he cannot afford it. At least not yet, he has to be patience. It is a virtue, and fruits taste better when it is leave to ripe. It wasn't long before he notices three separate presences making their way in from different entrance points of the warehouse. He smiled, and claps his hands. The lights in the warehouse flickered before finally setting down. "Ahh, I see that our guests have reaches here safely. I hope that the place wasn't that difficult to find, was it?" He asked, feigning his warmth hospitality. |
鏡花水月 |
| Lance entered the warehouse, the place was dimly lit and full of shadows. For a horned one such as himself, foreboding darkness was a considered... wrong. So to make the mood 'lighter' Lance said "Well... no actually. In fact I wasn't even invited. I kinda choked all the information from the Scorpio who actually was invited after I kicked his ass and stole his invitation... will that be a problem?" he offered with an innocent grin but hard eyes. |
|
| Mei saw an other person come in. So she wasn't alone. She stood there, hidden by the shadows; her presence was masked, so it was almost impossible for the newcomer to know she's there, or anyone else that comes in by a matter of fact. Mei was suspicious of the man, a bow formed from the darkness as she gripped it a bit. She let go and it was gone, it was just in case something went wrong. |
| Even Death has a heart It's okay to spin around and around in the same place. Just so long as you're singing your heart out. THAT's what life's all about. |
| Sokurunde Watashi Sokurunde looked at the man blankly, "Were we supposed to have invitations? I am sorry, but I do not have one... If you want me to leave, then I can." Sokurunde turned around and started to walk out. |
| The man smiled as he listens in to the first man's explanation, the deal about choking another person doesn't usually interest him. The exception is that for him to be able to cause physical damage intentionally to one from the original 12 is a remarkable act. He traces his fingers down on his neck area carefully, as if contemplating if it would be good to include him. Oh well, the rest would be thrilled to have more people he guessed. "It's alright, you may stay." His smile was magic. He sensed another shadow nearby, the presence of a young lady excites him. Their smooth skin makes such smooth delivery of his knife when he makes an incision down their neck. He shakes his head to focus back onto the task on hand. I can do that later, this is more important. "I see that we have a lady in our presence, why don't you blessed up with your appearance? It would be a pity for us, wouldn't you agree?" His charming voice resounded within the four walls of the warehouse. Without waiting for her response, another voice spoke. An uninvited guest, interesting. "You are certainly welcome to remain, it would spice up the otherwise boring game. I don't suppose you have any idea what that is, correct?" |
鏡花水月 |
| Sokurunde Watashi Sokurunde shook his head, "I was just walking down the town and decided to look in this warehouse. Can you tell me what the game is about? Or do we have to wait for it? I don't really care either way sir! I have all the time in the world!" Sokurunde walked back into the warehouse. |
| "Oh an ignorant soul that stumbled into the great unknown. How exciting. But the most important thing is that if you are willing to trade your life for something you don't even know what it is? Doesn't sound like a very good way of killing time, or does it?" He replied with mocking tone and rolled his eyes. Who says the humans were the only foolish ones. |
鏡花水月 |
| "We having saying back home you know, 'If it isn't worth sacrificing for, then it isn't worth fighting for'." said Lance, looking between Sokurunde and the stranger and back again... |
|
| "Or perhaps the temptation of having an item that increases your powers by ten-fold simply too good to resist." He glances at Lance while maintaining his mocking tone. Oh if only they know, he smiled to himself. |
鏡花水月 |
| Lance's grin widened as he said "Guilty as charged... but that's a bit beside the point, isn't it? So why don't you begin telling us what we don't know once the person creeping behind me in the gloom comes out finally" Lance turned his head sideways and peeked over saying with a smile "This is the second time you've been called out stranger, might as well come into the light" |
|
| "Ah~ Getting a little impatience, aren't you?" He coughs, his throat is still twitching from suppressing his dark urges. "Why don't we wait for the others to arrive? It is a little too early to talk anyway and I hates repeating myself." |
鏡花水月 |
| Mei was silent in the shadows. She knew he would notice as she was the first one to enter. She said nothing and stood there glaring at the three figures in the warehouse. This man was dangerous, Mei knew it, she stayed careful for any suspicious movements. |
| Even Death has a heart It's okay to spin around and around in the same place. Just so long as you're singing your heart out. THAT's what life's all about. |
| "I'm serious stranger... come out of the shadows or I'll flush you out with a 'floodlight'" said Lance his nostril filling with a bit of smoke and sparks upon his lips as he gazed hard but not unkindly into shadows "Come on, don't be shy..." he said encouraging the one hiding in the darkness... |
|
| "Come on, don't be shy..." One of the men said. The Taurus wasn't the one Mei was worried about, it was the other one. The one who invited her to this desolate place in the first place. She just stood in place waiting for the other man to see her. Though, it would take a lot of searching to find her nonetheless. She leaned on the wall, even in the darkness, she can see very well in it. |
| Even Death has a heart It's okay to spin around and around in the same place. Just so long as you're singing your heart out. THAT's what life's all about. |
| He was getting a little restless with the whole deal about hiding in the darkness and observing them. He decided to give her a little warning. "Say if you don't step out of that shadow right now, I am a. going to go over there and drag you out. And trust me I am a rough guy and I do know exactly where you are hiding. Or B. remove your right to this game. I have faith that you are a wise lady, you will make the best choice. Please don't prove me wrong." As he was finishing his last words, he sensed another presence. The new guy is standing roughly right to ten meters away from him, quite a save distance. "Come on in, what are you waiting for? The sunrise perhaps?" He demanded with his mocking tone. He needs to see blood soon, he feared that he is losing control. |
鏡花水月 |
| Mei sighed as she noticed there was a lamp hanging over her. She deiced she would make an eerie entrance. She pulled her bow out from the shadows and pulled an arrow out. She looked around for the light switch controlling the lamp above her. " There it is... she thought to herself as she pulled the bow string back with the arrow. She aimed and let go, the arrow struck the switch cleanly and the light went on above her, but it was dim and flickered from time to time.. Her eye adjusted promptly to the on and off light. "I believe you don't have to search far" she said as her bow disappeared. She crossed her arms and leaned on the wall again. |
| Even Death has a heart It's okay to spin around and around in the same place. Just so long as you're singing your heart out. THAT's what life's all about. |
| "Ah look at who decided to make her entry? And quite a flashy one indeed. Talk about having a spotlight on you." Looking over his shoulders, he announced,sarcastically. "You are certainly free to remain there if you wishes to, I am a gentleman after all. I won't force you to do things against your wishes. But I also do not like to raise my voice, it hurts my throat." He continued as he touches his throat area. "And I'm going to talk in a really soft voice to protect it. So don't say I didn't warn you." |
鏡花水月 |
| "That's not a problem" Mei said glaring at him. She did have very sharp hearing after all, as with the other 4 senses. Mei shook off his sarcasm and still leaned on the wall. "So what might this "contest" be anyway?" she asked. |
| Even Death has a heart It's okay to spin around and around in the same place. Just so long as you're singing your heart out. THAT's what life's all about. |
| Sokurunde Watashi Sokurunde yawned, a sure sign that he was sleepy, "Is anyone else sleepy? Cause I am really feeling sleepy right now..." Sokurunde asked. Sokurunde leaned against a wall and closed his eyes for a bit. |
| "In lame-men's term, it's survival of the fittest. Whoever manages to reach the jewel first wins, and anyone is free to attack anyone at any point of time. Including now I'll say. It's certainly not a good idea to let your guard down the moment you entered here. Wouldn't you agree Sir?" The last part of the sentence was pointed directly at Sokurunde. |
鏡花水月 |
| Albus walks to warehouse. Entering it with caution knowing others would be there. Albus tries to put on a joyful face and dumb look. "Hello could anyone kindly lead my to the that magic gem thingy?" |
 |
| "People aren't so swift to just telling you were the jewel is.." Mei said glancing at Yuudai. "Besides, it is better to enjoy the hunt..." she said pulling her invitation out. After, she moved her glance to Albus. "Wouldn't anyone else agree?" |
| Even Death has a heart It's okay to spin around and around in the same place. Just so long as you're singing your heart out. THAT's what life's all about. |
| Lance liked what he heard from the stranger, 'A free for all battle royale?' he thought. 'I'm SO going to enjoy this game...' He then spoke up again saying "What are the rules of this game? And where should we start looking?" |
|
| "Hold your horses, Lance. Don't be so hungry for blood." He stated, folding his arms. He knew who everyone is, but he doesn't see the point of explaining why. Tapping his watch that is striped to his right wrist, he smiled--the time is here. "Well besides the eighty-eight constellations and the fallen and cursed constellations, do you know that there are hidden races that spreads out in the world?" He started explaining, not bothered if anyone is listening, he is not going to re-explain if they didn't catches it the first time. "Legend has it that there is a race called the Taiki Race that guards the jewel, and that is located on an island on the far East corner of the room. Recently we had located the the named island, and of course things wouldn't be fun without competition. So here is where you guys fit into the equation. Your opponent includes everyone here, and of course the Taiki Race themselves. They are master of the lightnings and apparently they brings bad luck to whoever they meet." He inhales and a huge grin on his face. "You are still free to leave if you wishes to, since your life is certainly more important than some jewel that increases your powers by ten-fold, no?"He paused and waited for their responses. |
鏡花水月 |
| "..Taiki Race that guards...." Mei's eye shot open. " The Taiki...." Mei said to herself. She took a deep breath and let it out as a sigh. "The Taiki..." she said "Are a dangerous race to mess with." She glanced at the man. She has seen what the Taiki have done first hand, no one messed with the Anguilla "Leader" let alone did any Taiki see or notice her of course. If they don't mess with her, she won't mess with them. "Be careful.... If you aren't fast, you won't survive..." she said before she beacame silent again. |
| Even Death has a heart It's okay to spin around and around in the same place. Just so long as you're singing your heart out. THAT's what life's all about. |
| Albus listen's to the mans words carefully. Albus again using a dumb look. "So there's a bunch of old people guarding the gem. Maybe if they went shopping more they would find something else." Albus thinks about what he said and almost wants to punch himself for how dumb that sounded. |
|
| "Ah, I see you have some prior knowledge about the Taiki Race, surprising since they had gone into hiding some a hundred years ago." He took a knowing glances at the young lady who seems to be in deep thoughts. "Yes they are very fast, but do you not have the confidence of dealing with them? If so, the door is always opened for you." He pointed to the opened door of the warehouse. He snickered, useless people are neither welcome nor needed in this situation. "Old people? Their intellectual capabilities is certainly higher than yours." He stated, sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "They are in their prime age, nothing is stopping them but of course looking at the people I have on hands. I guess this is not a threat for them." |
鏡花水月 |
| "I have lived over 200 years in solitude" Mei said quietly but loud enough for everyone to hear. "That is why I know about things like these." she looked down at the ground again with her arms crossed. "The nonexistent learn everything..." she said mysteriously. |
| Even Death has a heart It's okay to spin around and around in the same place. Just so long as you're singing your heart out. THAT's what life's all about. |
| "Here is the one map that might lead you directly to the jewel." He emphasized on the word 'might'. "I'll be leaving the map down here." He announces as he walks to the center of the warehouse. "Unfortunately though I only have one copy of the map, therefore please fight it out between yourself to see who is the winner. But for those who lost, no big deal, you just need to find the way round on the Cowal island." His smiles were turning devilish as he slowly walks out of the warehouse with his hands in his pockets. "Before I forget, my name is Herclues. Oh well, if you didn't survive then you'd probably have no need for my name. So long~~" |
鏡花水月 |
| Mei scoffed at Herclues cockiness. She simply closed her eyes in contemplation of her past. She remembered what the Taiki were capable of. Their accuracy and aim exceeds even that of hers, though, their tracking abilities are vastly inferior compared to hers. She waited for the other people to go in for the map. She grinned at the thought, she didn't need the map anyway. |
| Even Death has a heart It's okay to spin around and around in the same place. Just so long as you're singing your heart out. THAT's what life's all about. |
| Albus looks at the man right when he walks out of the warehouse. Albus thinks to himself I don't like where this is going. "So who wants the map?" |
|
| Herclues walked away from the empty warehouse, he sniffed the air above and the absence of iron made him frown unconsciously. For goodness sake, he had intended for them to start fighting the moment he left. "Looks like things are not going your way, Herclues-san." A voice came from the branches above him. And with swift movement, he jumped down, landing in front of him. "Yarh, Antoni. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out." He replied, rolling his eyes. "Just five of them? I was expecting more..." Antoni's voice trailed off as he realized that Herclues was abandoning him. "Hey wait up!" "Come on, let's get a move on. We don't have time to waste." He urges him. "As per to your command." The blonde adult bowed and catches up with his partner. Together they made their way to the destination. |
鏡花水月 |
| Sokurunde Watashi Sokurunde's eyes drifted open at that point, "Let's hope that everyone thought I was asleep the entire time. A map seems pretty good, but also dangerous. I guess I will take it." He thought. Sokurunde's right hand flew upwards, "I volunteer to take the map!" He said. |
| Mei grinned slightly and the light went off. She was again in the shadows. "Go ahead and get it if you want. I don't need it..." she said as her voice trailed off and faded away. |
| Even Death has a heart It's okay to spin around and around in the same place. Just so long as you're singing your heart out. THAT's what life's all about. |
| "I'll let you guys fight it out..." Mei said ominously from the shadows. "Like I said.... I don't need a map...." her voice trailed away leading outside of the warehouse. She was now on the road to the Cowal Mountains. "I do hope those people don't kill each other. I want to meet someone worthy of fighting me..." she said glaring up at the sky at the sunset as she left for the Cowal Mountains. |
| Even Death has a heart It's okay to spin around and around in the same place. Just so long as you're singing your heart out. THAT's what life's all about. |
| Albus looks in the direction of Cowl Mountain. Albus then looks at the map taking in every detail. He walks towards Cowl Mountain turns back and shoots the map using spirit gun. He then returns to walk towards Cowl Mountain. |
|
| "I think not BOY" said Laneus his voice getting deeper as he stepped forward, pushed the young man out of the way as he snatche dthe map and had his body half morphed into... into something very large and very scary. Though it was hard to see in the still murhky dark room. Lanceus paused for a moment and said with an obscenely deep and dark voice "If you want the map and the gem? Come and take them! YEE-HAH!" and he charged head first into a wall leaving a slilohuete in the shape of his body in it as he charged out of the warehouse district... and headed for Cowal Mountains. |
|
| Sokurunde Watashi Sokurunde walked over to take the map and walked away with it. As soon as he got outside and out of sight, he threw the map in the trashcan, "Now nobody will have to deal with the map now!" Sokurunde walked out of Sunset town and headed for Cowel Mountains. |
