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?"

The (half-)demoness looked perplexed for a moment, then snarled, flapped her wings again - and suddenly laid back her wings, for a swooping attack. She really was channeling birds here!

Re: 1

[ruffntumblenut]

Ruffnut spun to run the length of the roof, rather then darting to either side to escape the swooping attack. She managed to get onto two feet for it, braids bouncing with each stride of her long legs.

Then just as Setsuna got close enough for a strike Ruffnut threw herself backwards to crash into the pale winged attacker, wrapping her long arms and legs in a crushing grapple.

[im_gonna_protect_u]

[Sadly, strategy was something she was lacking at the moment, so she was pretty much caught. Well, her body was. And so she slammed down into the roof, clutched by the clingy viking]

Re: 1

[ruffntumblenut]

HA! And now we turn it up a notch!

[Electricity pulses through both of their bodies from deep inside Ruffnut and into Setsuna. It lights up the night with blazing brightness as Ruffnut cackles gleefully]

My icons really need to be updated, damn those are unfitting.

[im_gonna_protect_u]

[Setsuna was zapped quite a bit, and screamed. And now actually tried to bite Ruffnut after the initial scream!]

I should probably pay for Ruffnut's extra icons if I'm gonna keep using her

[ruffntumblenut]

[The lightning dies down and Ruff just grunts gripping her tighter]

Pfft, is that the best you got with those little baby teeth?

[Shivers, her cheeks actually getting red]

My girlfriend bites harder and her teeth aren't even pointy!

[wraps her fingers up in hair and yanks hard]

One day, DW will be able to use paypal again o.o

[im_gonna_protect_u]

Ksch...

[Setsuna finally did the one thing she could do. Whenever she managed to be "on top" of rolling, she spread her wings quickly...and flapped.

Into the air. Higher and higher. The intent is clear - either Ruffnut lets go, or both will eventually plummet!]

[ruffntumblenut]

[Blinks at this tactic and looks down as they rise higher and higher]

Heh...not bad.

[WHAM! Viking helmet Headbutt!]

But I don't scare easy girl!

[im_gonna_protect_u]

I...will- OW!

[And that seemed to temporarily KO the enemy, who...therefore couldn't fly, and began falling. Whoops!]

[ruffntumblenut]

....CRAP!

[Scrambles around on Setsuna till she's clinging to Setsuna's back. Wraps her legs around Setsuna's middle and tries to manually flap the wings using her hands]

FLY FLY FLY FLY!

[im_gonna_protect_u]

[And then they plummeted to their doo - well, nearly. She did snape out of it moments before going splat, and managed to evade the roof barely by moving her wings to make her glide sideways.
]

Get...off!

[ruffntumblenut]

[A sigh of relief as they avoided becoming street pizza. Still she growls and locks those spidery legs around her middle gripping her hair]

You're the one who came after me!

[im_gonna_protect_u]

You...came after me!

[Setsuna evidently resolved on trying shake Ruffnut off, by starting rather rough aerial maneuvers. Shaky looping!]

[ruffntumblenut]

[Lots of shouting as they race through the air]

What are you talking about?! I was minding my own business and you came all fangs and knives!

sorry for late

[im_gonna_protect_u]

I was hiding and you...!

[Setsuna made a piledriver...and then aimed for a waterfall in the distance.]

Re: sorry for late

[ruffntumblenut]

Don't make me zap you again! If you didn't want to fight you shouldn't have charged me!

[Sploosh. And now she's soaked and sparks are jumping off her threateningly]

Re: sorry for late

[im_gonna_protect_u]

Zap me...again...and I slam you into the wall!

[Or, better yet...she stopped flying. And was now dropping into the lake.]

Re: sorry for late

[ruffntumblenut]

Hey! Hey stopit! Stop stop stopstopstop!

[Splashdown. Ruffnut is now pissed, and weighted down by her armor so she's struggling to keep her head above surface. Your reward is a strong discharge of electrical energy pulsing through the lake. There's gonna be alot of fried fish]

Re: sorry for late

[im_gonna_protect_u]

OWWWWWWWWWW

[The winged Samurai got out of the water easier...and dropkicked into Ruffnut immediately.

Except only once, to knock the Viking out of the water.]

...Even!

Re: sorry for late

[ruffntumblenut]

GYAH!

[Flailing her arms and legs as she flies out of the water to land with a unceremonious THUD on the shore. This is followed by her shaking her fist in anger and cursing in nordic]
