Setsuna woke up deep at night. Everything was quiet. But something was wrong, wrong, completely wrong, she could feel it in her bones, all the way to her wings and every feathertip.
She got up, looked around, then looked down onto herself.]

"Wh..."

The door to her room burst open instants later, and Setsuna was gone, fleeing into the night.

The netherworld was a place of demons. And, despite how she looked, Setsuna wasn't fully human. The blood of demons ran through her veins...

[Openings!

1.Your character spotted someone flying high above the ground, with unclear purpose. An angel? The large, white wings sure suggested so... but what was an angel doing in the netherworld? And why did she, if someone had the senses to spot it, a rather dark aura?

2. Your character was exploring some cave high up in some generic spooky area, when a noise behind them alerts them - to the frenzied attack of a rather angry-looking winged albino with swords! It will take more than words to calm that one down...!

Rooftops were a great place for aspiring vikings to pass the time. People tended not to bother her, and she could do whatever she wanted.

Plus there was the fun of throwing herself off a roof and landing on someone unsuspecting.

Still today Ruffnut was content lounging about watching the stars. She would leave soon and go find Mindy but for the moment she was lost in memories of home.

The wind in her hair, the smell of explosive dragon breath.

She sighed happily, oblivious to an impending doom.

Just pretend all the icons are albino and winged with somewhat fanged teeth!

[im_gonna_protect_u]

Setsuna really wasn't in the most, ah, rational mood. She had never felt like this, and well...being visibly not human yet being completely unable to hide that fact had shaken her a lot.

That and general demonic nature being boosted somewhat led to behavior that was part instinct. Well, a big part. Self preservation, in this case, as well as the wish to hide. And since this high place had been her hideout, and now she had been disturbed, well...

...She pretty much charged, a specter of two whirlings swords and wings (and, somehow, falling feathers, because evidently, demons kept losing feathers all the time without trouble). She didn't even really register who Ruffnut was, because right now, the whole 'must protect myself' and 'people must not discover me' had priority.

Thankfully, wings had a big problem, that is, beating them wasn't all that silent.

That was the one warning Ruffnut got just as Setsuna charged Ruffnuts position with both of her weapons drawn.

You got it

[ruffntumblenut]

Ruffnut blinked at the sound and her eyes fell down just in time to see the whirling blur of blades and feathers coming her way. She let out a yelp and blade met bracer with an explosion of force.

"What the heck!?" She shouted eye's narrow in challenge. "You looking to rumble?"

Re: You got it

[im_gonna_protect_u]

Setsuna bounced back and landed on the nearby roof, wings spreading wide - similar to a bird of prey doing so to make itself look much bigger.

Her ponytail whipped back as her red (and glowing, of course, special effects were working!) eyes focused on the viking.

Instead of words, she pointed her weapon straight at her enemy, hissing something like 'You are doing down'. Well, it could be that, she was hissing, so it might have been something entirely different.

And then she threw herself into the air with one mighty flap of her wings, pelting the wiking with feath-no, those weren't feathers. They were knives!

[ruffntumblenut]

Ruffnut threw herself to the side with a yelp, scrambling on all fours as knives buried themselves into the roof.

"Crazy demon bitch!" Ruff shouted but she had a twisted grin on her face. Even when one of the knives caught her arm leaving a thin line of blood.

"That all you got?"

...A celestial? Is this an attack? Or an ambassador?

[im_gonna_protect_u]

A mothman had a similar question, it seemed, and engaged, just to fall to the ground a short time later. Evidently, the not-quite-celestial wasn't coming in peace.

Or had just acted in self defense, this being the netherworld and all.

[rose_liberated]

... Perhaps a more...concealed approach.

[Rozalin just so happened to have her spare set of clothes and changed into Mysterious Kunoichi Yuki in a flash of light. And Yuki, while she hides them under a scarf, has wings as well, allowing her to quickly kip up to rooftop level. Once there a little roofhopping and subtle gliding gets her over to take a closer look at this Celestial. Or whatever it is.]

[im_gonna_protect_u]

[It turned out to mostly be a white Setsuna, proving earlier suspicions more correct than not.

White hair, white wings, red eyes, and a somewhat demonic feel to her, after all. Thankfully she hadn't noticed the NINJA, so one could hear her mumbling about worries...]

[Pamela was searching some other area for a way out, and the beating of wings catches her attention. She whirls around as she draws Weißsilber]

Who...?!

Re: 2

[im_gonna_protect_u]

[And Setsuna's blade clashed against Weißsilber with a loud, clanging noise.]

Feh...YOU!

[Her eyes glowed red, and as she snarled, she revealed rather large fangs. Not vampire like, more...well, she was different, anyway! Vampires didn't have wings!]

2

[trolled_justice]

You are...?!

[She didn't really make a vampire connection anyway. Michael Sepperin looked like a vampire but wasn't one, after all... the wings couldn't help but make her think of Iris briefly but-no, that evil soul's wings were quite a different thing]

So, you reveal your true nature...?!

[she shoves her sword against Setsuna's own, attempting to knock her off guard; or, at the least, get some measure her strength]

I, Pamela, will not fall to you!

Re: 2

[im_gonna_protect_u]

[Setsuna growled, flapping her wings to produce a counter push against Pamela's pushyness!]

You get nothing!

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[Konoka's eyes faintly pick up the sound of wings. Looking up, she sees someone, but it's all too familiar.]

Secchan?

[im_gonna_protect_u]

That was definitely a Setsuna. Who was trying to do her best to get away from Konoka, because sudden demonic nature (half) + sudden complete reveal of her albinism = complete and utter panic.

She really shouldn't have bottled that part up for so long, now it had exploded like a shaken bottle of soda after opening!

[im_gonna_heal_u]

That IS Secchan!

[And she's flying away! No way can she let that happen!]

Waiiiiit! Come baaaack!

[Well, Konoka wasn't called shrewd for nothing. She put on her rollerskates to help pursue her faster!]

[im_gonna_protect_u]

She was pretty high up, but not in her right mind to go that high, so she heard the words, looked back - and tried flying faster by flapping harder, which only looked comical, without actually giving her a speed boost. Whoops.

Unfortunately, she was heading towards a canyon-thingy, but then, rollerskates were made for action! Probably!

*Well, no way Evangeline won't react to THAT.

As soon as the being approaches, Evangeline spins around, moving to catch the sword in her free hand.*

Re: 2

[im_gonna_protect_u]

[Setsuna oddly wasn't pausing her movement, but brought around her other sword. She had two, after all, one in each hand.

She wasn't really noticing who she was fighting, alas, she just fought with (half-)demonic determination!]

Re: 2

[high_on_daylight]

*Immediately, Evangeline stepped in, right up to Setsuna's face, and grabbed at her shoulders to pin her blade arms.*

Re: 2

[im_gonna_protect_u]

[Setsuna snarled...and countered with a hard headbutt.]

There were times that Mindy was bored, and in those moments, she thought of Earth, and that was where no one could see her tear up, just a little. It was one of those things were Mindy got thrown from place to place and situation to not, and in all that confusion people tended to forget Mindy could ever miss anything. Yet once it came down to it, the girl had given up more than most might have, and those times Mindy went out of her way to be alone, exploring by herself.

God this is depressing, she thought, kicking her feet together, idly skipping stones.

Re: 2

[im_gonna_protect_u]

[Setsuna, meanwhile, was rather shaking. The constant interruptions and discoveries had caused her to be on edge, so when someone was skipping stones, she perked up immediately, like an owl that had spotted a mouse.

A tired owl, but still.]

Go...away....!

[Unfortunately, she followed up that hiss by launching herself at the intruder. Oops. Tired AND impatient.]

Re: 2

[hit_girl_mindy]

[She heard a little bit of rustling so, very much like a mouse her ears were perked in attention, and so when the lunge came she sidestepped back quickly and move to the other side of the girl, concealed butterfly knife pressed into the palm of her hand].

Whoa, little temperamental there, Konoka?

[im_gonna_protect_u]

Don't use her name!

[The hiss wasn't very birdlike, but then Setsuna lacked a beak. What she did have was speed, and she quickly whirled to face Mindy again, glaring at her]
