Peace and Quiet [Open]

[Max Abner]

Max was excited to fine the Darkness and take them out. Of course they did have to find them first. They expected to run in and see a lurking shadow then just go and kill it, but nope. The ran for about a minute before they stopped and sighed. Max looked around at the surrounding area. It was dark, so how were they supposed to hunt Darkness? Max grumbled to themself as they walked. If there was a Darkness in the area then Max could steal their ability to see in the dark, but of course there wasn't so they just had to stumble along. It wasn't optimal for hunting.

Max had been walking for another minute when Tomo hissed quietly around their next. With that slight warning knew that they had to move or be skewered. They were right. A small teleport to the left and Max was left facing a non too happy Razor who had just missed its target. Max decided that now was a good time to test out the new power they had swiped and slowed down time. It was interesting to watch the usually incredibly fast Razor lunge out at Max at a normal speed. It was pretty cool, but they were still dangerous. Max laughed and dipped out of the way of the monster. They were about to turn and swing their weapon when a crash sounded and the Razor snapped into a bolt of lightning and then back again, creating Max's fear.

There was a slight waver in Max's swing, but it wasn't enough to save the Razor from being sliced in half. Then it was gone and Max let time bounce back to normal and they just stood there smiling. That had been fun, despite the lightning thing. Max was about to go deeper into the forest when they heard an inhuman scream come from behind them. That must be a Razor. Max teleported backwards in there path. They ran back towards the field until they spotted Sammy through the trees.

Max teleported in front of Sammy and smiled at her. "I killed a Razor. Did you hear the other one scream? Did you cause that? Did you kill it? Have you killed two yet?" Max rambled off their questions and then stopped. Sammy probably couldn't answer all of them at once. Then Tomo raised her head and began slithering around Max's body like she was concerned about something. Max grabbed the corn snake and let her hang out on their hand. They only acted like that around blood. Then Max understood. "You're hurt aren't you? Oh jeez Alana won't like hearing about this. How bad is it?" Max began asking questions again as they looked for the wound that Sammy probably had.

[Sammy Linsen]

Sammy was walking through the forest, looking for another Razor, when she heard the sounds of battle nearby. She was about to go and see if Max needed any help, when time slowed down. Sammy might have panicked, but she was immune to the power since she had it herself. Real nice Max. It's not like you couldn't have asked. She continued walking at normal speed,listening quietly for sounds of movement. Max would be fine on their own. They had Sammy's Time Manipulation, so they could easily slow down the Razor and kill it. As she walked, the wind blew through the trees, creating a low moaning sound and Sammy blocked it out, concentrating on finding the last Razor. The warm air made her a bit hot, but she would live. 

A droplet of liquid dripped down her arm and she looked over to see that her arm was bleeding again. Sighing, she sat down and pulled out her first aid kit. She was pissed at herself for getting hurt. It might impair her fighting skills and that could be very bad. She pulled out some gauze and some medical tape and got to work. Setting the gauze on the wound, she gently wrapped tape around the edges and cut off the end. There, that should hold it. After, putting her things away, she stood and began walking again. It was quiet, but that meant there was nothing there. Disappointed, she turned the other way and began looking for signs of activity. She heard a small noise and looked around, seeing nothing she relaxed slightly.

"I killed a Razor. Did you hear the other one scream? Did you cause that? Did you kill it? Have you killed two yet? A voice said behind her and she spun around, pulling out her dagger. "Oh it's just you." She relaxed, but she was disappointed. She had hoped that the last Razor had found her, instead of her finding it, but no such luck. She put her dagger away and pushed her hair out of her eyes. "Yeah I caused the Razor to scream. It got pissed that it couldn't kill me. Yes I killed it and no only one." She replied. Watching as Max's snake
 slithered around their body. "You're hurt aren't you? Oh jeez Alana won't like hearing about this. How bad is it?" Sammy shook her head. "I'm fine, just a little cut is all."

Sammy was reassuring Max that she was fine, when a movement caught her eye. Looking over their shoulder, she saw something glint in the moonlight. Her eyes went wide and she dove at Max, pulling them down. Looking up, she watched at the Razor's blade swung through the air, right at the spot where Max's head had been. Phew She let out a sigh of relief and jumped up, pulling out her dagger again and getting in position. She hoped Max would help her and the contest would end in a tie. It would be fine either way, but it would be nice for some help, since this one seemed larger than the others. She stood in a defensive position, waiting for the Razor to strike and glanced back down at Max.
