[i]My eyes opened once more at the Ranger's question, while I nodded towards him rather quickly this time as my right hand reached for my coat's pocket. I had to feel around for a moment until I found the pendant - a smile crossing my face as I took it out and placed it upon my head, the metal chain slipping down to my neck. I regained the ability to speak once more, due to the help of one of Tesuto's allies...I had already forgotten his name. [/i]
"...Ah..There we are. Yes..I can speak, due to the assistance of the samurai Tesuto? Very kind of him. And yes..I can handle this mission."

"Good. Wouldn't want to have to tell the brass the psycho who murdered our best Ranger wouldn't help us. That would be a damn shame, wouldn't it?" [b]Shit. My pissy side was showing. This was supposed to be official, dammit! Why the hell was I acting like this?[/b] "I have a question for you. Have you actually changed like my intel suggests? You're not a psychopathic bitch that wants to murder everyone anymore?"
-
"Psychopathic bitch? I guess that I am no longer a..."psychopathic bitch". At least, for a while." [i]I chuckled softly, as I really didn't care for what I supposed was an insult from the Ranger. If he had made fun of my previous muteness? Maybe I would've gotten angrier. [/i] "We best get moving. I haven't killed something in days, and it's really getting to me." [i]I guess one could call me "sarcastic".[/i] [i]I rose up from my wooden chair, beginning to walk towards Grant slowly. I expected to follow him..unless, he wanted me to head somewhere.[/i]
-
[b]At the last remark, not gonna lie, I cracked a smile. What can I say, sarcasm always gets me cracking up. Maybe she actually had changed, for the better. If I was thinking purely strategically, she'd make a hell of a Ranger, but I wasn't thinking purely strategically. I was thinking with my emotions, and one of those being hate. At this point, I really didn't know what drove me to hate her, it was like a different person entirely was standing in front of me. Maybe we'd get along one day, hell, maybe after this.[/b] "The garrison is out the Dojo gates, around a mile into the woods."
-
"Mm. Good, good. I'll be back in a bit." [i]I guess people could say that I changed. For the better, or perhaps for the worst. I don't know why I thought it was smart to do the things I did years ago..but now I regret it all.[/i] [i]I kept walking towards Grant, passing him and heading towards the doorway. It felt rather...well, different..to be so close to a person that would've loved to kill you earlier. Before I left, I turned towards Grant, smiling faintly.[/i] "See you around, Ranger." [i]I saluted slightly, before walking out of the simulation and heading towards the location given to me.[/i]

Edited by Dain Is Fren: 10/25/2016 11:42:41 AM"You do know I'm coming with you, right? I told you that before. I have to come with you. Let's get moving." [b][IRINA HAS GAINED THE [i]RANGER TRAINING[/i] PERK FOR TRAVELING WITH GRANT! ALL MELEE AND UNARMED ATTACKS DO 1.5x DAMAGE, AND GUNS DO DOUBLE DAMAGE!] The NCR ordered me to come with, and that's what I'd do. Besides, I wanted some Legion blood on my hands too. Couldn't let her have all the fun, could I?[/b]
-
"...Huh. Fine, fine." [i]I wasn't used to working with people at all. The closest I had gotten to someone here? Probably Athena, Alyssa, Ghiaccio...maybe Jack. But Athena and I are...well, more than friends, Alyssa was gone, Ghiaccio was still hurt badly, and Jack...Jack is just batshit crazy in general. So as the Ranger proceeded to follow me out as I exited the simulation of Cainhurst, I felt worried for quite a bit. I knew that he wanted to kill me over the other Ranger. How could I blame him? I had been vengeful, similar to him. It was just human nature, to inflict pain upon those that hurt or even killed those that one cared for.[/i] "So..I trust that you won't put a bullet in the back of my skull. And I hope you know that I won't do the same, unless provoked to do so." [i]I could've been free from all of my sins, my past. I just had to get this job done right...and bingo.[/i]
-
"Likewise. It's my orders. The brass back at Shady Sands'd have a fit if I killed you here. Heh. Speaking of killing, whatever happened to that one guy I shot? Didn't mean to shoot him, really. He just got in the way." [b]I didn't feel bad for shooting him, however. I'd gotten abbot from some Legion Assassin corpses that said he'd killed a cat and a kid. No reason. No motive. Bastard deserved it. Probably should've aimed for the head... Ah well. There's always next time.[/b]
-
"Ah, you meant to shoot me! I think. I don't know.. He is currently stationed within Cainhurst. Condition: stable, but could be better. His name is Ghiaccio, by the way." [i]Ghiaccio...my only true partner here, was rotting away within that forbidden castle. Not rotting away literally, but...still. I hated leaving him there.[/i]
-
"He's stable? Goddamn he can take a beating. Does he still have that huge-ass hole in his chest? How did he not bleed out?" [b]I was... Confused to say the least.[/b]
-
"I said stabilized. As in, he still has a massive fücking hole in his chest, but due to a blood vial I've given him..his bleeding has stopped. It's complicated. I guess you could say that I used some of my own blood for the procedure.." [i]Basically...the flesh that was blown open wasn't healed, but it was covered up by coldblood, a substance prominent within Hunters, specifically Vilebloods... [/i] "...So I may or may not have made him a Vileblood."
-
"Oh. Uh, I know you're a Vileblood 'n all, but could you fill me in on what exactly one of 'em is? Just so I can be informed as to who I'm working with."
-
"Vileblood: a sentient living being that has supposedly sworn themselves through an oath to the Queen of Cainhurst, and accepts her cursed blood as an offering. The cursed blood practically makes her immortal, and while I'm not...Y'know, immortal...I'm just stronger than regular humans. Ghiaccio will most likely only have some amount of healing. For that wound? It took quite a while to close up, and there's still a hole in him..perhaps you should try combating me in a melee fight next time? Just so nobody else gets in the way." [i]While Ghiaccio wasn't a full-fledged Vileblood just yet, he still had my blood within his body. The shit was forbidden in practically every part of Yharnam; it was cursed.[/i]
-
"Is there any way to help him? I hate him and all, but if he's your friend I'm obligated to help him. Allies of the NCR and all that. Allies of allies of the NCR are covered under our Obligation of Protection. Anyways, we're at the forest." [b]And I wasn't lying. We actually were at the forest. This place would be trapped to hell. Bear traps, rigged shotguns, mines. And guess which one we ran into. A mine. A beeping went out, and quickly sped up. We had to take cover, too little time to run away or defuse it. Agh. As much as I hated her, I had to protect her. This would hurt.[/b] "Mine! Get down!" [b]I tackle her to the ground, and just when we hit the ground, the mine explodes. It scorches my coat, and heats my armor to the point of burning me. Irina should be safe, though. She was the priority at this point. I roll off her, and lay on the ground for a moment. I get up with a pained grunt, and look over at her, dusting myself off.[/b]
-
"I think I can handle i-" [i]Before I can even finish my sentence, I heard the beeping and suddenly turned my head towards the plasma mine. Then, I felt Grant slam into me, pushing me into the earth as the mine exploded.[/i] [i]He had bothered to save me? Even if it was a mission, and even if the NCR wanted me to live..I still found this odd.[/i] [i]After Grant rose up, I groaned; the worst I got from the fall and explosion was some scratches, while he endured almost everything. I felt selfish at that point..I hoped I could help him back in the future. [/i] "...Damn." [i]I swore quietly as I rose up, brushing some dirt off of my clothing.[/i] "...Thanks, I guess."
-
"Just doing... My job. Good thing my armor is strong as hell. Regular person would've been scorched beyond recognition. Stupid Legionnaires... Why do they like be mines so much? Be careful. There's bound to be more." [b]I then take the lead, if anything else would happen, it'd happen to me. NCR really wanted her alive, no idea why. Last time they did something like this they just got shot. Courier Six did it. Alex Wilson.[/b]
-
"...Whatever coward relies on traps deserves death.." [i]I hated traps. Always had, always would. That's how that Executioner fücker Daniel got me the first time; smoke bombs and pushing me into an alleyway, where he then proceeded to slam a wheel into my head. I was still confused about how I got out of that situation..[/i] [i]I decided to silently follow Grant, while my eyes darted around for more mines. Hell, I was actually somewhat worried, considering one could blow us sky high.[/i]
-
[b]We walk. And walk. And walk FOR around an hour. Then, it finally comes into sight. The Legion garrison. It's only a few red tents, nothing much to see. There was a few Legion recruits strewn about. I look over at Irina.[/b] "How ya wanna play this?"
-
"Mm. Would probably be best to go in stealthily. I don't want either of us to get shot up." [i]I preferred to be quiet about my assignments. I wasn't a loud person in general, I just hated sprinting into places and shooting everything up pointlessly. The best course of action would be to stealth this.[/i]
-
[b]Stealth. Heh. I have something good for that. Really good. Makes you literally invisible. Always carried a few with me, in case I didn't have many weapons.[/b] "If we're doing this stealthy, take this." [b]I hand her a Stealth Boy.[/b] "Press the button, then prepare to be amazed."
-
"Not sure about what the hell this is, but..okay." [i]I didn't know what this thing was..I wasn't too much of a technical person at all, but I had to trust Grant. I simply placed my finger on the button, pushing it slightly.[/i]
-
[b]I smiled as she immediately turned invisible, no gradually preceding line, no anything. I also activate mine, and all that is visible of me is a shimmering stealth field. This could easily fool anyone.[/b] "What do you think?"
-
[i]I stared at where my hand once was, while my eyes widened suddenly as I went completely invisible. I almost panicked when Grant suddenly vanished, although I realized what exactly was going on; it was some sort of...stealth device?[/i] "This is...interesting. Please tell me you have more.."
-
"I'll answer your question with another question. How long do you want to be invisible?" [b]This would be awesome. Running around, murdering some Legion without even being seen. I had more of 'em to, around four more. It would most definitely get through everyone here.[/b]
-
"I'd prefer to get through this quickly and carefully. Can you keep you and me invisible for the entire time we're here?" [i]I was actually somewhat excited about this. Not because I had new toys to play around with, or the fact that as usual, I was killing people; this was a moment where I could prove myself to Grant, that I should be forgiven.[/i]
-
"Yeah. Stealth Boys last for a solid five minutes each. We can kill these guys fast. Just a few recruits. You ready?" [b]I pull out my Bowie knife, got it from a marked man. Bloodknap was the blade's name. I twirled it around.[/b]
