Sol Raveh Test Drive #4 - The Darkness Seems to Move

[solravehmods]

 

Something isn't right.

You weren't here before?

Where were you? Home? Somewhere else in the castle? Perhaps you were in some other far off world.

Not anymore.

The Queen is tired of Ozuma's meddling. So this time, you wake up in a fairly good sized area. However each door you try to leave through all you see is a wall of darkness. Almost as if threshold is all that keeps said darkness from spilling into the room where you hide.

So what will you do? Will you huddle in a corner in fear, waiting for others to help you? Will you march into that deep blackness to find help? Choose what you will do. Help or hinder? It's up to you. Just remember, the Darkness moves and it will come for you.

[Not everyone there got a nice, soft landing upon arrival. Some people were simply dropped haphazardly like a sack of potatoes, missing half the top of the stairs and instead getting a fun little trip down them with a rough stop at the bottom.

A certain tailed teenager was one of those unfortunate residents that the Queen decided she wasn't going to take any pity on, leaving him to a trail of swears as he hit ground and went rolling.]

Fuck--! Hnng, what the hell?!

[Holding his head where most of the impact had happened, Rin curled in on himself with tail lashing in upset.]

Was that really fuckin' necessary, lady?! Jesus!

[coldfashioned]

[ Steve was quick to move, shield up and poised to defend or attack if need be.

Of course, there's that automatic reaction that Tony liked to tease him about. ]

Language-

[ As soon as he says it he regrets it. Damn it. Everytime. Why!? It's not like he cared when the Howling Commandos did it? Or when Bucky would back in Brooklyn. ]

[satanslash]

[The only response that Steve is going to get at first is a loud groan before Rin lets out a breath, taking his hand away to see spots of crimson on his pale fingers. Wait, some one spoke-- Language?! Seriously?! Rin leveled an unamused expression at the man, vivid blue eyes glaring.] After what that bitch just did to me, I think I'm allowed.

[coldfashioned]

Sorry I--

[ And then he noticed the blood. ]

Are you okay? That looked some fall. You might have a concussion, hold still.

[satanslash]

[Rin sighed and touched his head again, wincing at the open wound that was still trying to close. He was lucky he didn't crack his head open, the way she threw him in here. ... speaking of which, where was here? Still the castle, but not somewhere familiar.] Probably. Wouldn't be surprised. Bitch Queen made a big show of grabbing a few of us and throwin' us like rag dolls in here. [-- he swore again.] ... sorry. Habit. Livin' in a church didn't do crap for my mouth. Anyway... it'll heal. Probably shouldn't stand up for a minute, though.

[coldfashioned]

[ Steve made a hissing notice when he not only saw the wound but heard what ever what this "Queen" seemed to do. ]

Don't worry, it was a habit for me too. I would have to agree, with a head wound like that even I'd be shaken.

[satanslash]

More pissed than shaken. ... but grateful she didn't grab anyone else near me. [Which he was going to hear no end of once he made it back. He had put himself in between the Queen and Ryuji on purpose. His friend was likely very unhappy about that.] I've had worse. [Like getting his foot cut off once. That was fun. He let out a sigh, pulling his fingers away again and ignoring the blood that had accumulated on them. More stains for his already stained shirt. Terrific. He looked up, then around a bit, wincing at the pain the motion caused.] Still in the castle... at least-- Shit! [And just like that he was scrambling around in spite of how dizzy the fall had made him, searching frantically for something.] Where is it?!

[coldfashioned]

Whoa whoa, not so fast, what are you looking for? If you're not careful you're going to make it worse.

[ Yeah Steve is so ot sure how to handle this. And wait....is that...

Does this kid have a...

...a tail!? ]

[satanslash]

[Yes. Yes he does. He also has fangs. And elf ears.] My sword! Blue sheath, gold at the handle-- I need it! Shit, if it got left behind--!

[coldfashioned]

[ Hearing that he might have lost a weapon Steve snaps out of his surprise and instead starts looking around.

Only to find said weapon not too far from them, having been flung off of the teen with his fall. ]

Ah.

[ Standing Steve moved over and picked it up, glad when nothing 'supernatural' happened. He'd been around Thor too much. ]

This is it right?

[satanslash]

Yes. Thank you.

[Rin's voice oozes relief. He knew Yukio didn't like that he relied on the flames so much, but Rin had long since come to accept that the only way he was going to survive anything was to have the sword with him and be ready to use it.

Not that it did much against the Queen.

But he still needed it. No way he was ever going to let that gift from Shiro out of his sight if he could help it.

He took the sword carefully, checking the sheath over and finding it otherwise undamaged.]

Guess it got out of my holster when I was tossed.

[Which is where it's going back to now.]

We're already in trouble here. I did not wanna be without that.
