Adventure [Open to two people]

[Cassiel Novak]

    She sat quietly in the doorway of one of the abandoned buildings, thinking over her plot idea for the book she was trying to write. Her hair whipped across her face as a breeze swept through and she smiled. The night was a bit chilly, but she honestly didn't mind. She was enjoying the peace and quiet, it was nice to take a break from her somewhat hectic life. Cheering up patients at Folant Hospital, cleaning up Rose park, and the many other things she did with her time. Volunteering was hard work, but it all paid off in the end. The smiles on the faces of those she helped made it all worth it. The music playing softly through her earbuds calmed her as she tapped her fingers to the beat.


    She turned up the music and took her earbuds out, shifting into her favorite animal the munchkin cat. The wind blew through her fur and she meowed loudly. Giggling internally, she ran around the small entryway and out the door. As she ran she closed her eyes, her stubby legs moving quickly. When she opened her eyes she squeaked and quickly dug her paws into the ground. She sighed, stopping just before she fell of the front porch. She sat down and studied her surroundings. The leaves fell, gracefully dancing in the wind, swirling and twirling until they hit the ground. Looking at the world through the eyes of a cat was interesting. She loved looking at things from the perspective of others. Every person, every animal, saw the world differently. She was amazed at the way the colours seemed to change when she shifted into an animal.


    As she looked around, her ears twitched and she froze. Sitting as still as a statue she looked back and forth, trying to locate the source of the sound. Her eyes darted back and forth, scanning the area. When she couldn't see anything she ran back inside and shifted back into her human form, throwing on her clothes(because there's no such thing as clothes that change shape with you.) When she was done, she ran upstairs and hid in one of the bedrooms. She closed the door and locked it, proceeding to search the room for viable weapons before finding a couple of kitchen knives in the closet. They seemed to be covered in old dust from a darkness and she frowned in concern. What happened here? Did darkness really chase everyone out of this small village? She shuddered and sat back against the bed, closing her eyes in thought.       

[Dante Yoshida]

The smoke toppled out of Dante's head almost like a cartoon. He started incoherently mumbling about getting lost and something about chasers. By time he actually swatted the smoke out of his face he realized he had walked into a village. The village gave off an eerie feeling, and something felt off to Dante about it. He tried to remember back about being told by the chasers about something about a dangerous village, not to be entered. Of course he just thought they were to scared to actually enter the village. Suddenly Dante noticed something pass by, there it was again. Running towards a house was a cat, Dante look around and saw no one was around. He squatted down and stuck his hand out, "Here kitty, here kitty, kitty." he said trying not to intimidate it. But to no effect as the cat enter the building, suddenly he got a chill down his spine. Choosing to ignore it Dante approached the house hoping to find the cat.

[Cassiel Novak]

    Cassiel peered out the window and saw a young man about her age, walking through the village, leaving a trail of smoke behind. He seemed to have no regard for the fact that his life was possibly in danger. After all, this place was said to be crawling with darkness, though Cassiel was quite good at hiding from them. She leaned back on her heels and brushed her hair out of her face. She heard a fain "Here kitty, kitty" and laughed quietly. So he saw me huh? This should be interesting. She stood up and flopped onto the bed, glad that she had brought it up here. She had also brought pillows, blankets, and non-perishable foods. She had stocked the place up and was planning on getting it up and running again, so that she could have her own little hideout in the abandoned village. The boy seemed to have no idea that she was actual a human and not a cat, but maybe it would be pretty fun to mess with him.


"This kid could be in danger, but he seems like he couldn't care less. What should I do? Go out there and help him? Mess with him? Or just completely ignore him?" Sighing she rolled over and shoved her face into the pillow. This sucks, maybe I should just forget he's here. She pulled the blanket over her and closed her eyes. I haven't slept in like two days, maybe I should just take a nap. She snuggled into the pillow and smiled. I hope that guy doesn't die or anything. That would suck.

[Dante Yoshida]

As Dante approached the building, he noticed it look lived in very recently. He opened the door turning his head left and right. No cat in sight or people for that matter. He proceeded to look around the rooms but no cat in sight. Although he did find some chips, which he grabbed. Maybe it was dumb to search a house just for a random cat that i just happen to see. But something does feel off about his village. It's no place for a cat. he thought to himself. He notice there was an upstairs, realizing he couldn't find the cat downstairs he went up.As he went upstairs eating some chips he wondered if someone does live here. Shaking off the thought he proceed to search the bedrooms and found one that was locked.

It's lock or it could be just stuck after all it seem to be an old house. But then again why would a cat be in here then... mmmm. Well it the last place to look so it has to be. I've come this far to look for that cat so a door not going to get in my way. He thought to himself. He lean back and then moved forward with his shoulder in front breaking the door open. He looked in the room and noticed a girl around his age sleeping on a bed. "Probably the cats owner, she looks cute... wait that mean that was her food... Wait that mean I just broke into her house and now I'm watching her sleep! Okay better go before i sound any more like a creep." he said to himself out loud. Just then he felt that eerie feeling again. It felt like it was coming from outside. He started to approach the doorway.

[Viktor Angelus]

Soundlessly, the enigmatic senior Chaser had materialized outside the village’s boundary. This site had been recently listed as dangerous due to frequent appearances of Darkness. The Academy had someone post signs around the village; however, it would seem like someone had taken them down. It was a good thing Viktor was meticulous and liked to monitor high-traffic sites, like this one. His timing could not have been better because his senses told him there was danger abound. Reaching out, he could feel the energy in the air and he ‘tasted’ it to get an idea of what was around. While there was not much Darkness yet, he could perceive the presence of some Troublemakers lurking in the shadows. To his surprise, he also sensed the energy of two humans. Not regular humans, however, they were gifted with abilities. Other Chasers, perhaps? He would have to investigate.

His lithe form moved swiftly through the village to where the human energy was emitting. He did not waste time entering the abandoned home because a Troublemaker had beat him to the location and was making its way upstairs. His movement was silent as he stalked his prey with lethal intent.

As he climbed further up the steps, he could hear a young man talking to himself. Heightening his hearing, he listened to the man head towards the door… Before he had reached the doorway, Viktor heard the Troublemaker break it down. This was Viktor’s time to strike.

In an instant, Viktor teleported from his position on the stairs to the space between the Troublemaker and the young man. With a smooth and rapid motion, he placed his right hand on the Troublemaker and a surge of energy fired from Viktor into the monster. In the blink of an eye, the Troublemaker was completely obliterated and turned to a golden dust before disintegrating back into the shadows.

The Chaser’s gray trench coat spun as he did, he turned to face the two young people. The young man who smelled of smoke and the girl who smelled of feline. His steely gray eyes drifted to them both. His voice was soft yet authoritative, ”As you can see, this place is not safe. Please accompany me to a secure location.” As polite as he sounded, he was slightly annoyed that they would so carelessly settle in an abandoned village that reeked of Darkness. Regardless, lecturing them would be for another time when they were not in danger.

He turned back to the doorway but paused briefly. He reached out again to the surrounding forest and buildings around them, the Darkness was coming.

He turned to look over his shoulder at the two behind them. His eyes shone a tint of yellow as he began to fully activate his powers, ”I hope you two are capable of handling yourself in a fight, because we will be having company…”

[Cassiel Novak]

Cassiel groaned and rolled over groggily. A loud noise had awoken her and she opened her eyes, irritated, but on guard. “Wha-what’s going on?” She mumbles groggily and sits up. “What the Hell was that?” A quick scan around the room reveals two men standing in the doorway with a small pile of dust at their feet. Her eyes widened and she jumped out of bed, hiding the knife she kept under her pillow behind her back. “ Who the Hell are you? And what are you doing here?” There was a moment of silence as she stared them down and she took a step closer. “Seriously, what is going on?” She prepared herself to use whichever power she needed to to escape if there was trouble and she had a feeling something bad was about to happen.



She was unusually anxious and the fact that she had just woken up to two strange men and a dead darkness in her secret hideout wasn’t very comforting. Clearly I need more locks on the doors. One doesn’t seem to be enough. And these two need lessons in manners because I’m pretty sure just randomly breaking down someone’s door is pretty rude. She stepped closer again and tightened her grip on the knife, wondering how the darkness could have gotten in. She could have sworn she had warded the place, but she couldn’t be sure. “Well that’s just lovely, first you break down my door, and now you’ve attracted darkness into my base. Today is just going great!” She yelled sarcastically. There was a banging sound on the door downstairs and she frowned, it wouldn’t hold them for long and she had left her weapons in a bag in the basement.



“Think we’ve got a clear shot to the basement? That’s where my best weapons are.” She reached under the bed and grabbed her shoes, putting them on quickly and walking over to the doorway. “If we’re gonna do this, I need then I need to get down there.” She looked them up and down, deciding they were no threat to her and stuck out her hand. “I’m Cassiel, I’d say it’s ice to meet you, but under the current circumstances it really isn’t.”

[Dante Yoshida]

Dante saw a shadowy figure but before he could discern what it was, another figure in white appeared between them and destroyed the creature. The girl from the bed began to wake. The man started to speak "As you can see-" whoa whoa whoa what the heck where this guy come from and how'd that creature get in here. Dante thought to himself not paying attention to what the guy was saying. And whats with the get up. Then he realized the girl said something about her weapon being in the basement. Then she reached her hand out and said her name was Cassiel. Dante reached out and shook her hand and said "The names Dante, I was searching for a cat when I saw this thing break the door down. So I came to investigate when I saw it was about to attack you. So I was going to stop it but then this guy came out of nowhere and killed it." Good one. I think she bought it and hopefully this guy didn't see me break down the door.

Dante sensed more of these creatures. I haven't had a good fight in a little while. and hopefully these two are as capable in a fight as they think they are. Then Dante heard banging at the door downstairs. The door probably won't last too long. He thought and realize that they wouldn't make it to the basement before the door gave out. "Sounds like you need a distraction, Cassiel. You got five minutes to get to the basement, Snowflake can you get the stragglers." Dante said as he picked up a wooden chair from the side of the room, jumped out the window, landed on a darkness, threw the chair at another darkness then, punched the third darkness. "Come here you little uglies it's feeding time" he yelled. The darknesses at the door turn to him.
