"Who died? Girlfriend, parents, sister, brother?" [i] She says with a sneer.[/i]

-
[i] She rolls her eyes. [/i]
-
Well, lead on m'lady.
-
"You aren't following me." [i] She stands up.[/i] "Now I've gotta find someone who can open a tear in time and space. Great."
-
'Fraid that's not something I know how to do. I feel like Jakob would probably know somebody who could do it.

Edited by Will: 1/8/2016 1:46:48 AM[i]She walks out, and At that moment they see a figure in slim black armor walk by, wearing a ronin mask with three katanas at his side, and a yin-yang symbol over crossed swords on his chest. One katana is a brilliant white and gold, the second is an all black, and the third is a seemingly normal olive green with a dragon head hilt. He walks with an air of power and confidence, yet grace. Like every movement maximizes efficiency. If Death could be elegant, this man is the living incarnate. Red sees him and stops dead in her tracks, Nobody bumping into the back of her.[/i]

Hey, what's the matter with you.... [b]His voice trails off as he notices the stranger, and he pulls you back into the room[/b] Mind explaining now?
-
Edited by Will: 1/8/2016 3:06:30 AM[i]The look in her eyes is admiration,shock, fear, envy, and a plethora of other emotions.[/i] "He's..the Ronin." [i]She half whispers, and the arrogant and bitch attitude is gone for the moment.[/i]
-
Red, this is [i]not[/i] the time to lose it. Who is he to you?
-
[i]She shakes her head, trying to clear it.[/i] "He's..nothing to me. And everything. He's everything I could ever hope to be."
-
OK, I get the feeling that the fact you are both here isn't coincidence. Why is he following you?
-
[i] She shakes her head.[/i] "You idiot, you don't get it. I'm nothing to him. He's aboard this ship for some reason, and I happened to get teleported here. He's the worlds best swordsman. I've studied his kills and his track record for years but have never been able to catch up to him."
-
I still don't think it's a coincidence. You're explaining this to me after I get you out of here. He's an assassin?
-
"No." [i] She shoves past him to the door and attempts to catch up to Ronin.[/i]

Edited by Forum Therapist: 1/8/2016 3:43:08 AMYou... [b]He mutters a string of words you can only assume aren't kind, and rushes to catch up to you[/b] You said it yourself, he's better than you, and you're in no condition to fight, even with backup. And neither of you seem to be the chatty kind.
-
"I'm not trying to fight him dumbass." [i] She catches up to him until she's a few feet away from him.[/i] "Ronin." [i] She says, like she can't believe it. He turns to face them; the mask slightly unnerving.[/i] "Yes?" [i] His tone is cold and metallic, like razors on ice, and Red visibly shudders.[/i]
-
[b]Nobody puts one hand on the barrel of the shotgun on his back, ready to swing it out, and another in his bag of meds, and takes a few steps back[/b]
-
"Y-you're him. You're the worlds best swordsman. You've been around for thousands of years, and you're here." [i] Red stands there stock still, and Ronin rests a hand on the hilt of his triple swords.[/i] "Last time I checked. Who are you, and you're friend?" [i] She glances at Nobody.[/i] "My names Red." [i]Ronin chuckles through the mask, an unnerving sound.[/i] "No it isn't. I know who you are." [i] Nobody sees the muscles in Red's body tense up.[/i]
-
Alright, one of you mind explaining to me what the hell is going on?
-
"What do you want me to explain kid?" [i] Ronin asks.[/i]
-
Well, for starters, mind filling me in on what you're doing here, on this specific ship?
-
[i] He seems to have lost interest in Nobody and walks circles around Red, with the grace of a panther, his stature predatory.[/i] "I've heard a few things about you Red." [i] She stands still, her grey eyes following his movements but her body paralyzed.[/i]
-
Do something, do something... [b]He mutters to himself and wracks his brain trying to think of something[/b]
-
"A prodigy people call you." [i] He continues to walk around her, dragging a finger across her back along her shoulders, and Red's skin responds as it was touched by a live wire, the muscles going taut and her not moving.[/i]
-
Come on Red, don't just stand there... [b]He pushes with everything he has in his head, hoping he'll get through to her somehow[/b]
-
[i] She seems paralyzed, Ronin's presence seeming to numb her. Now that Nobody thinks about it, he feels it too. Like the air is getting colder, and the air is getting thinner, like they're high in the atmosphere. [/i] [spoiler]he can step in or something, try to be a good friend, Ronin won't kill him haha.[/spoiler]
