Open - Let's play hide and seek (1)

_____She had so much fun, so long she seemed to have taken to the shadows of Norforva since someone had last seen the young girl with so many issues upstairs in her mind. She got to play hide and seek, tag, and her favorite game of all ‘dismemberment.’~ A fanged smile crossed the girl as she playfully skipped a circle around a stone obelisk coated in blood. The entire area around her a bloody massacre, and the culprit clear as her body dripped with blood from both herself and that of the dismembered bodies around her.

_____An entire coven, thirty or so members found the unlucky string of fate that lead the little monster to their place of worship. One by one the coven who killed to sacrifice was left limb by the girl, before she went back around and dragged them all to the center of where she had found them. Left to watch as the little girl argued with herself about the order of limbs to chop off first before she did. That was summed version of what had happen here, and now it was only Nyx, hands holding the last head she cut off and setting it down at the base of the obelisk like all the others.

”You should have hidden better Onii-chan~”

_____Her tone twisted and childish as she knelt down and poked the nose of the severed head laughing playfully. Each face was covered in horror, she could not think of why as it was all a simple game she played and they had to. They had a chance to win the game, they had to hide better than she could seek, but nobody could. She was just that good at the game she mused to herself and the voice in her head as she stood up chuckling more at the voice’s reaction. A slightly silly face as she reached back down to get her scythe out of it’s blood bath and hummed.

”Yea I guess you are right… but that only made it two against thirty… still unfair odds!~”

_____Nyx looked back to the cut up bodies around her, little blood seemed to be left to pour out of them as she frowned. The place was quickly losing the girl’s interest as she tossed the weapon back into her UI and skipped around the obelisk chuckling and singing a twisted tone. Slowly her mumbling turned into words, then words that made sense and crushed the childish song with it’s darker tone.

”Ring around the rosey, pocket full of posies.~ Ashes, ashes … we all fall down.~”

Hanno calmly walked under the skies of Norfova, he never had the time to meet this intriguing region. He barely saw any living thing through his whole path, peharps that place was completely abandoned? Ghast, the gargantuan Shield looked around the place with a curious expression, somehow that air was really pleasing for the Shield, that waved it's tentacles in a happy way.

The Faerin looked at it, rising one eyebrow. "You are with high spirits today, aren't you? Even though you normally dislike to do research missions." He asked to the Shield, that simply nodded with a tentacle at his owner.

Giving a small glance to the dark surroundings, Hanno just chuckled. "Well, I guess this is kind of fitting for something like you." Giving a small pat on the Shield, before looking forward again and paying attention on where he was walking.

According to what a few NPCs had told to Hanno, the region of Norfova was cursed with a horrible blood magic. Such blood magic created something fairly interesting though, a lazily named flower called 'Bloody Flower'. Said flower was supposed to be a great material to make life potions that were able to increase your regeneration and close wounds very fast.

Hanno pulled a small parchment that had a illustration of the flower.

Hidden: Illustration

That flower was basically the reason the Faerin was there, someone requested him to gather this flower, so they could brew some of these potions to be part of their supplies. But that flower was basically nowhere to be seen, the Faerin sighed.

After letting out his frustration sigh, Hanno interrupted himself at some sight that called his attention... It seemed to be someone, probably the first person he has seen in hours. Giving a warm smile, he began walking toward the small figure. As he got closer, he could slowly hear to a small and docile singing, typical of what you could expect from an innocent child.

The unknown silhouette slowly revealed to be a fellow Faerin girl, which was something rare, Hanno barely knew any other Faerin. "Hey there! Hello!" He waved giving out a bright smile, that slowly faded to a very concerned expression as he saw that the little girl was covered with blood.

"W-What? Oh God, are you okay?!" Hanno asked, staring at @Nyx with worried eyes. "Who did this to you?!"

 

_____Nyx was enjoying the quiet for the moment. It was not common for her to enjoy the stillness of anything, but thankfully a voice broke the silence as she turned and tipped her head slightly at the figure. Hands lifting to look over the blood before she faked a gasp and hurried to hide behind the obelisk making no recall attempt to avoid kicking a severed arm aside in her rush.

"Nobody did nothing! They all did not want to play a game with me... it's no fun if nobody plays!"

_____Nyx's voice was terrified, while she mused the idea of what to do in her head she figures to poke the clear worry in the other figure to have more fun while she was outside her cave. The voice telling her a few good ones and eventually they came to an agreement as Nyx moved her fingers to wrap the edge of the obelisk as she poked her head out nervously and smiled gently before rush forward.

"Will you play? Oh we can start with Tag~ Your'e it first!~"

_____Nyx did not give much time for the figure to argue as she chuckled and jumped back a fair distance and waved for him to hurry up before she started running around in the blood and around the severed body parts as if they just been things to avoid. If @Hanno Futaba did not move Nyx would slow down and look ready to cry for not having someone to play with.

 

The Faerin didn't noticed at first, but as soon as the girl got to hide behind the obelisk, he noticed that the fellow Faerin had stepped and even kicked a few arms on her way. Hanno frowned in a mix of bad surprise and disgust, if it wasn't for the battle against Titanus, he would've probably just freaked out...

Hanno looked at the girl that suddenly talked something that made no sense at all. 'Play? No fun?' The Faerin barely knew how to react, that little girl was completely insane, she was just walking around all dirty with blood over several quartered corpses.

"This isn't time to play tag..." He looked in disgust at the pile of dead people. 'Now I can understand why they say this place is cursed... This is a complete gore.' Taking a deep breath, Hanno nodded. 'This isn't time to think about that, I need to take this girl out of here.' The Faerin looked at his Shield, that just stared him back with a 'do it' look in it's eyes.

"I will really regret this later, I'm very sorry everyone..." Clenching his teeth in disgust, Hanno began to chase the girl that had just sprinted away from him. The Faerin didn't know what was worse, to feel his foot stepping on dead people's limbs, or to hear the unsettling sound of the flesh and bones being smashed as he ran over it.

The way the small Faerin was apologizing for every step he was taking on those things. "Heeeey! Stooooop!"

 

_____Nyx had no plans to stop playing the game with the other person. Happily spinning around in the blood as she chuckled and moved to keep trying to stay just out of his reach. She wanted to play games all the time, but she also had to deal with the voice in her head as the expression across her face grew slightly sour for a moment as she stopped to point towards nothing but in her eyes seemed to be someone.

"NO! that's not how you play tag silly!~ The person who is it needs to tag you before you can chase them!~ Your not the one who is it or even playing since you did not ask if you could play!"

_____Nyx seemed clearly certain someone else was still alive and there with them as she kept mumbling a minor argument with the unseen figure for a good few moments if she was not tagged. If she did she would likely stop mid sentence and look to the male with a faint smile. A light giggle as she jumped back a few feet and got her UI to spit out the blood red scythe as she did a few test swings.

"Darn it, now I gotta tag him... Here I come Onii-chan~"

_____This was of course if she was tagged, if he let her finish her argument she would just look over to the male before laughing playfully and going back to trying to stay just out of his reach. She was having fun again, and while it was not as fun as playing 'operation' on the male ti was enough to keep Nyx happy for the time being and maybe enough to hold a decent conversation while they played tag.
@Hanno Futaba

 

"Come ooon, stooop!" The Faerin yelled, He was actually fast enough to get to the girl, but the fact he needed to run over a pile of bodies slowed him down a lot... And it didn't help that @Nyx was fast too. 'I will never reach her this way.' He thought, before suddenly she stopped running.

'Huh?' Hanno slowed down, eventually stopping completely. The small Faerin was talking to herself, almost like she was having an argument, peharps she went completely insane because of what she saw? Hanno couldn't know, and the disturbing situation didn't help either. Whatever that happened there, it was a freaking carnage.

He took his time to look around a bit, not entirely sure about how to feel about all that. Hanno looked at the girl, that was mumbling to herself.

"Hey, fellow Faerin." Hanno tried to call her attention, waiting a little in case she didn't pay attention on him. "Who are you? We need to get out of here!" The Faerin asked, but prepared himself to run again, since the girl suddenly looked like she was taking some distance.

'Do you really believe it's time to play, little girl? This place is obviously dangerous!' A frown covered his face as he tried to stare into the girl's eyes.

 

_____Nyx wanted to keep playing the game, she wanted to get a turn to tag the male back and then they could go back and forth. But as she looked back to see he was standing still Nyx's face grew slightly sour as she slowly stopped and fully turned to the male. Why could she never find people who wanted to play with her? Why could she never get to keep having fun? Slowly Nyx balled up her fist before letting them unroll as she tried to smile and keep enjoying the fleeting moment.

"NO! I don't wanna leave! I want to play! They did not want to play tag! So I had to cut them! If you don't play I'll cut you up to!"

_____Nyx growled out the last bit as her expression fell to sour and she glared at the male. She wanted to play a game, but if he did not want to play she WOULD get her fun from chopping him up just like she had done to everyone that now laid chopped up around them. To show she was not joking Nyx drew her scythe from her inventory, the metal dripping slightly as Nyx spoke once more.

"Play... or be chopped up... But i'm not leaving! People get mad if i go play in cities, here is only place they let us play freely!"

@Hanno Futaba

 

Hanno blinked in surprise when @Nyx suddenly pulled a scythe, claiming she would chop him... Normally he would flip to fight that back, but... What? That girl surely seemed like she wanted to just play because people got mad at her in cities?

The Faerin scratched his ear in confusion. 'I mean, you could've at least have choosen a better place than... This...' He thought frowning as he looked the outdoor's morgue. Really, was playing with someone over bodies something that a hero should be doing? He sighed.

'Well. If she want to play that much, I guess we can't help it. I think it's better than having her threating random people to chop them up.' Hanno took a deep breath, trying to deal with the fact he was stepping on dead people... Though, he decided that it have nothing that he could do for those people, which was enough to almost ignore that disgusting situation.

"Okay! If you want to play that much, let's do it. So you better prepare to have a lot of fun!-" He gave a grin. "-But after this we are going to step out of here and do something else... I can even cook something sweet for you, like a cake or some kind of candy!" The Faerin yelled, hoping that at least the girl would accept to get the hell out of that carnage place after they were done... There were players for anything, weren't there? To think someone would like to walk around on this clusterfuck-

But yeah, it's a girl that threat people to chop them up for not playing- No wonder her tastes aren't exactly nice.' He thought "Anyway! You better get ready, because I won't hold back!" Hanno chuckled as he activated his inner challenging mode with a defiant smile, if she wanted to play that much, he wasn't going to lose!

After declaring, he blasted off at full speed to attempt to catch the girl. This time he wasn't holding back, even though he was stepping on corpses- 'That feels so wrooong... But ignore and keep going- You are a hero, you can handle it!'

 

_____Nyx smiled, a full on smile for once in what felt like a long time as the male agreed to play the game now that he knew the risk of saying no. She did not feel so inclined to add in the fact the game only really ended when one of them was among the bodies around them but that just added into the fun of it all. Laughing playfully as she swung her eight foot weapon across the air as the male approached and quickly vaulted over him with it. The blade against the ground as she pulled the weapon with a string and the blade rose and began to approach him.

"Ha ha, yea play time!~"

_____Nyx kept smiling, a slight twist across it if the weapon manged to graze the male or cause him to worry. The slight reason people shoo her from playing her game of 'tag' in cities becoming clear as she tugged her arms back and the wire that held her scythe returned the large weapon to the small girl who playfully chuckled and began to start running again. Both had a something slowing them down, but a key difference was likely how Nyx was only in Medium armor. Botched little as she hopped off the ribs of a fallen victim and kept playing around.
@Hanno Futaba

 

The Faerin looked up, seeing the girl going over him- ... Hanno grinned as he looked her landing, suddenly pulling a chain. "You will be jumpin-"

CLANG

The scythe blade connected with the shield, making a loud noise before reaching the girl's hand. 'Hm?' The Faerin looked back, seeing that his Shield tilted by itself to protect it's master... Ghast stared intently at Hanno, and he raised his eyebrow at the situation.

"Oh, so that's how we are doing this." He smirked, looking at @Nyx's eyes. "Well, it seems you like to put some spice in your tag play- Why not?" Hanno raised his Gargantuan Shield and pointed forward, once again blasting off in a charge. "I will catch you!"

Ghast's central eye stared intently at the girl as it wiggled it's tentacles, seeming prepared to stretch out a tentacle and attempt to grapple the girl. Not more caring about the corpses beneath him, the Faerin simply trampled them like a truck running over a cemetery- Whenever he reached the girl or not, he would look at her with a friendly and defiant expression.

"Since we are doing this- Care to tell me your name, miss?" Hanno said with his usual chill smile.
