Azrael was ready to jump on the first thing that moves so long as they weren't civilians.
"I wonder what's taking Austin. I haven't heard anymore gunshots from the bottom floor..."
Azrael checked his pistol before remembering he's only fired two or three shots.
"Rock paper scissors, winner gets to check out that big room which is most likely to have hostiles inside," Azrael suggested, getting his fist ready to play.

Ara smiled, having a better idea. "Better idea Az, let's double team them. It works better when you are with someone than without. besides, I've got something in mind that you might like." She stretched, easing the kinks out of her shoulders as she drew her daggers from their sheathes.

"Sounds good to me," Azrael replied, playing with his sword in one hand. "They're probably well dug in now that they know we're here, so I suggest that we go back a floor, go in separate rooms and put the security guards clothes over our own. This will at least let us get so far into the room that we won't get shot at until they see we're not the people on the id cards!"

Adrienne went white then green at that but swallowed back her stomach and nodded. "Az would you tell Austin what we are up to please?" She manhandled a pair of cloths that looked like they would fit her from a man just about her size. She heaved the body beneath a table.

"Ah, commander!" Alucard said loudly, turning around. "This stranger walked in and had a little skirmish with some of our guys but i think shes alright." Alucard thought to himself, knowing Austin could hear him. I think she wants to help us, but she doesn't know what is going on. I just told her we were under lock down for security reasons... Alucard spoke again as he took out a cigarette of his own and lit it. "Shes a crack shot with that bow of hers. She seems useful enough. What do you think commander?"

"Interesting..." he studied her, curious as to why she'd walked in "tell me about yourself?" he asked the newcomer, all the while wondering about her motivations

Damaris watched the two men, knowing full well they were probably discussing her telepathically. "Well...I um.. I don't really know what you want to hear. I suppose you'll want to know what brought me here in the first place?" She winced as her leg shifted slightly, and sat on a nearby chair, laying her falchion across her lap. "I left my home 11 years ago - it was no place for someone like me. I've been wandering since then... and everywhere I've been, I heard these... stories.. rumours... of this place. The Town of the Dead. So I... I came here. It took me a while to find it, people are very reluctant to talk about it. I guess I was just looking for acceptance, somewhere I wouldn't have to be ashamed of what I am." She glanced at Alucard. Jeezus, is smoking a requirement around here or something? "As for why I came to the Devil's Advocates", she continued aloud, "I was just looking for something alive. I've been here a couple of days now, and I hadn't seen anyone. It looked like somewhere that might have people in it. That's all."

Azrael nodded, and went back down a floor to find an outfit that would fit him, and wasn't riddled with bullet holes.
Austin, me and Ara are disguised as guards, so please be careful if you're about to shoot something that looks a little guardy.Azrael thought, knowing Austin could hear.
Azrael slipped on on of the guards uniforms, and then went back up to wait for Ara.

Post by Jaden Kalen on Jul 6, 2007 23:19:22 GMT
Jaden made his way to the southern corner of the floor, "How far down and which room you in?" He asked Kunoichi over the intercom. He drew one of is throwing knives and threw it down the corridor at a guard who had just stepped into view. He seemed a little shocked as the knife struck him and he made a little squeal as he hit the floor and died. Jaden silently walked down the corridor and reclaimed his knife.
All of a sudden there was a rush of footsteps and a sound of movement. Jaden turned around to see at the mouth of the corridor he had just come down a large force of guards, all with a different array of guns, knives and swords. All looking at Jaden, "Great..." Jaden stood up and dusted himself down. "So" He said rolling up his sleeves, "Whos first?"
Jaden dived forwards doing a front roll drawing his katana and slashing it into the first row of guards in one smooth quick motion. They all fell to the ground. He left it stuck halfway into the last guard. Drawing both his knives slashing it into as much flesh as he could see.
One large man blocked Jadens attack with his sword, he pushed on the sword knocking Jaden down. He jumped back up. "Werewolf?" Jaden sighed. "Nope" Said the man "Cause I can control it!" he said in the midst of transformation. "It just gets better and better doesnt it?" Jaden asked himself. "Kunoichi I may need your assistance" he said over the intercom as the werewolf charged him. He caught Jaden off guard and knocked him down the corridor, sending the blades out of his hands.
When Jaden lifted himself up again the werewolf was almost upon him again. He had just enough time to draw his Clots and shoot him twice before he was hit again. If only they were silver he thought to himself as he hit the wall. He felt a claw grab his side as he was picked up and thrown into the opposite wall. He was picked up once again and thrown down to the opposite end of the corridor where the first guard lay slain. Jaden had landed on top of him.
Jaden grabbed hold of one of his throwing knives remembering that Leiana had blessed them and he threw it at the werewolf with all the strength he could muster. It hit the wolf with force in the shoulder, he stumbled as he ran but continued. He got just above Jaden before the wound over came him and he fell. The blessing on the blade spreading throughout his body like poison. He screamed and clawed at the knife pulling it out of him and rolled on the floor.
Jaden pulled himself up and looked at the guards still in the corridor. He rawred as he charged at them stooping to pick up his knives as he ran. Then dived onto the guards slashing as he did so. Still more kept coming. He knew Kunoichi would arrive soon as more guards came down the corridor. He pulled himself up lifting his sword out of the dead guard it was stuck in. He slashed his way through the crowd until he was encircled in a sea of guards. He carried on slashing trying to defend himself waiting for aid.

"Ding!" Carla announced, suddenly dropping, upside down, on a wire through the roof of the shattered lift, the doors blown open and so her hanging easily in sight. "Ground floor. Perfumery, women's wear and heroes battling to save the universe." She sing-songed in a tour guide voice, before flipping around and landing on her feet, disconnecting the wire.
She walked forwards slowly, to the distinctive clicks of her stilletto boots upon the polished, if not now covered in rubble, floor. She removed her gloves, smiling. "Ohhh, Austin Darkora. Big and scary! I'm so frightened!" She mocked with a grin, despite knowing deep down she was no match for him. He could easily defeat her. But no. Her mission wasn't to kill him. Even if she could. Rino wanted that honour himself.
No. She was here to just delay.
"And...well, I have no idea who you are." She shrugged to Damaris. "But, you're not on my side, so I guess I'll just have to fry you too." Carla explained in a tone of mocking sadness. At least she could kill the stranger. Rino wouldn't care about that.
"So..." Electricity began to spark between her fingers. "You wanna trash talk first, or shall we just skip to the main event?" She questioned, still wearing her trademark sarcastic smirk.
In actual fact, it'd help if Austin did want to argue with her. At least that way she'd slow them down until Rino completed the ritual. But, all she had to do was hold her own for a while.
As long as she did better than Hope would do later on, she was happy. She was particularly looking forward to the bit where the Circle slaughtered Hope on their way to fight Rino. She had to make sure she didn't miss that, however this battle went.

Austin turned at her arrival, tempted to just draw his pistols and blow her head off "Ah, you would be the electrostatic woman Kunoichi tells me about?" the one she beat the crap out of Austin enquired, studying her quizzically "You do realise I'm a werewolf right? electricity is only gonna make me angry" he smiled slightly

Damaris started at the unexpected entrance of the woman. Even before she spoke, she knew she was trouble. Electrostatic woman? What the hell....? I guess she must be one of the people Alucard and his commander are fighting against. Eyes flicking from Carla to Austin, Damaris stood again, faltering slightly on her wounded leg. She tightened her grip on the falchion, but stayed silent.

Carla laughed to herself. Good. Trash talking. That bought her more time. And meant the battle would last a little longer.
"Ah, Austin Darkora..." She chuckled with a smug grin. "Nobody ever said you were a biologist. Now I know why." She grinned, hands still crackling with electricity.
"See, best thing about werewolves, unlike, say, vampires, is that you're alive. You're a living creature." She explained happily, almost in the tone of a lecturer. Except, this was more like a lecturer who was constantly mocking and patronising you.
Well, it was Carla.
"Which means your brain is operated by tiny wittle electrical signals firing off all the time. It's how you think. It's how you move. It's how you do anything. Now, imagine, just, imagine, hyperthetically speaking, what would happen if a huge dose of electricity was introduced into your brain? Say, oh, I don't know, 500 volts? Imagine how much it'd screw with the signals. It'd just completely break your nice, big, juicy, living brain."
She grinned her brightest grin.
"Advantage Carla!" She declared. "And, of course, that's without pointing out the same flow of electricity will cause your muscles to spasm wherever it hits, taking you down regardless of whether you're a big hairy ugly dog thing or not." She added. "So as long as you're not freakily agile, like your stupid little ninja friend, I'd think twice before declaring electricity useless."
She folded her arms and stuck out her tongue childishly.
She knew actually hitting Austin's head with enough electricity to kill him would be very very hard, but he didn't have to know that. If she was going to drag out this war of words, she had to come off as at least slightly intimidating. She was confident at least that she'd be able to hit him. He was a much larger target than Kunoichi.
She then proceeded to cock her head to Damaris, and make her saddest (fake, of course), face yet. "Awww. What's the matter? Scared? C'mon, you can talk too! I'm sure big bwad Mr Austin won't mind." She baby talked, just to wind both targets up.

Damaris wasn't sure why, but she got the feeling that Carla was trying to delay them, rather than actually start a battle. She smiled wryly. "Who said anything about being scared? I was just wondering why you were standing there talking, instead of doing something... useful." She could feel her wolf side kicking in. Shit... not now, not now! She thought, desperatly repressing the anger that Carla was inducing.

Austin could sense the anger building in Damaris, knowing that if she turned, all bets were off "one thing you have to ask yourself Carla... electrostatic lady... whatever your name is... can you fire your little electricity before i've drawn my pistols and put two shots into your forehead? and say perhaps you can, what are you going to do if you miss?" he gestured down to his twin pistols at his waist, quick draw was something he always did best
