Scythes, Watermelon, and Flowing Breezes.
These are the things that bring me Joy.
It had been a very unexpected day for Xashowd and the Reaplings.
Laguna had returned from her job in Hell in a very positive mood, but she had not returned alone. Hiding itself in her shadow was a Hell Reapling, who had heard a Halloween Reapling had Bonded with a Reaper-in-Training, and wished to see for himself. Upon seeing the group, he challenged Xashowd to a contest of skill and strength, to see who was the better Scythe wielder. If Xashowd won, the Reapling would agree to bond with him. Defeat would mean the reverse, with Xashowd's Soul belonging to the Reapling for eternity. The two faced off in the forest where they had found Pumpgeist, a 1 on 1 match where the two traded numerous blows, swinging their Scythes in rapid arcs and twisting spirals. The Reapling demanded that Xashowd not hold back, and the vampire obliged, the battle lasting for a few hours. In the end, a complex and risky maneuver gave Xashowd the opening he needed to pin the Hell Reapling in one place. He conceded, Bonding with Xashowd and gaining the name Scythifer.
Now 5 Reaplings were Bonded with Xashowd, each one unique in their own way. Scythifer brought an interesting dynamic to the group, being more aggressive and outspoken than even Thanaphyr. He and Pumpgeist butted heads a few times throughout the evening, the two apparently polar opposites in disposition and mannerisms. Phantasia, surprisingly enough, was the one who ended their verbal confrontations, putting herself between them and smacking them if needed. Pumpgeist couldn't be mad at Phantasia, and Scythifer respected the younger Reapling's bravery and honesty. Thanaphyr and Scythifer got along well, and the former got the playmate he'd wanted. Etheria just smiled at the antics of the group, floating by Xashowd as it all happened.
"Your sister certainly knows how to get what she wants." Xashowd commented to Etheria. She giggled. "Well, you could say it runs in the family. We can be very headstrong if we want to be." Xashowd chuckled. "Duly noted." He replied with a smile. Scythifer floated over from the Reaplings' Room "So what's good to eat in this joint? Just got my own corner of the room set up and I'm hungry." "Well, I do have a lot of Watermelon. We usually share some for dinnertime." Xashowd replied. "That it? How about Steak? Ironically we don't get a lot of Steak in Hell. Well, I don't get a lot of Steak, and I want some." "Well, I don't actually have Steak...but since I need to resupply tomorrow, I figured we'd all go shopping for some food. Snagged a fair amount of Munny recently, so I can get a decent amount of food for everyone." Xashowd replied. Scythifer grumbled, but nodded. "Fine, but I will have Steak. And the next time your Succubus pal heads down to Hell, I'm going with. Gotta pick up a few things from my old Haunt, like my portable grill." Etheria snickered. "You have a grill? Isn't that redundant?" Scythifer shook his head rapidly. "Hell No. I don't know what you're thinking, but no self-respecting demon cooks meat over brimstone. The stuff's unstable. I myself prefer Apple wood, but Charcoal works in a pinch." Xashowd made a mental note of that. Since there were many different Reaplings now, the Fridge would need to become more diverse in its food selection. "Well, since we'll all be heading out tomorrow, just let me know what you'd like as we head through the stores. I regularly train against Heartless, so funds for use on other worlds aren't in short supply." Scythifer nodded. "Sounds good. I like a warrior who knows how to multitask. I'll get me some Watermelon, best to have a full stomach before bed." The Reapling floated through the fridge to get some food. Not a few moments later the group heard a cry from inside.
"Holy ****, it's cold in here! What'd you do, buy a chunk of the Antarctic?" Etheria laughed hysterically, while Xashowd walked over to the door. "I can adjust the temp in there if you want." He offered. "Hell no! If I can't handle this, I can't call myself a Hell Reapling! The Cold will learn who's boss!" Scythifer replied from inside. Xashowd just shrugged, while Etheria's laughter persisted. Scythifer emerged from the Fridge a while later, holding a Watermelon twice his size. "So, we gonna cut this badboy up or what?" He said, appearing unfazed by the temperature shift. Etheria's laughter stopped and Scythifer smirked at her. Xashowd just chuckled. "Yeah, let's head to the table."
The group, now six in total, gathered around the table for the nighttime meal. "Does your Succubus ever join you guys for dinner?" Scythifer asked out of the blue. "First off, her name is Laguna. Second...no, strangely enough. I've offered before, but she declines. Although, the past few days she hasn't even taken a slice of Watermelon to eat...I wonder what's up?" Xashowd stated, inquiring aloud as he ct up the Watermelon evenly. "I dunno. All I could tell from inside her shadow was that she had flowing water in her room. Oh, and it smells like Angel in there." Scythifer replied, scarfing down his Watermelon slice. Etheria paused her meal and tilted her head. "Now that you mention it...Yesterday when I asked her a question, I could've sworn I sensed an Angel's presence. It was faint, but persistent. I couldn't tell where it was coming from, though." Xashowd's brow furrowed in thought. Why would there be an Angel in Laguna's room? He'd have to ask her when he got the chance, but interactions between Angels and Demons rarely ended well...he worried that Laguna might be in trouble. She hadn't said anything though, and if there was any fighting in her room there would be signs of it. He made a mental note to check in on her tomorrow after the shopping trip. He didn't want any unknown problems going on in the Closet.

The Quest is on! |

Beast Within -Anon- The teen is quietly wandering the halls of the guild when she pauses in front of what appears to be a closet. She frowns slightly, her sensitive nose picking up some odd scents from within though she wasn't one hundred percent sure what it was she's smelling.
Scythes, Watermelon, and Flowing Breezes.
These are the things that bring me Joy.
Inside, Xashowd was busy organizing the fridge. Turned out the Reaplings had a lot more than he expected on their shopping lists, and he had to adjust some of the settings to create new sub-sections in the main area to hold the assorted types of food. While he was sorting Etheria's seafood, he smelled something from the direction of the closet door...something that made him stop in the middle of his work. It was a familiar scent, one he'd run across in the past. One thought came to mind. Werewolf.
He stepped away from the settings on the fridge door and rushed over, pulling out the capsule that was his Scythe, but not pressing the button just yet. He was paranoid when it came to Werewolves, but he recognized this scent. It was that girl he and Thanaphyr had met during the Annual User-Run Ball...given the nature of their meeting, it wasn't a scent he'd forgotten. He noticed the scent was very close to the door. "Hello out there! Need some help?" He called out from behind it, unsure of what the Werewolf's intentions were.

The girl jumps, stifling a yelp of surprise. "N-no, was just passin' by! Didn't think anyone was actually in the closet..." She scratches her cheek, "I'm not, uh... Interuptin' anything am I?" |

"Nah, just sorting some groceries." He replied, mentally chuckling at the assumption in her tone. He opened the door and stood at the entrance, any sense of danger passing away. "I guess you're new here, huh?" He said with a smile.

"... Who the ******** lives in a closet?" She looks completely baffled as she peeks past Xashowd and into his living space, shaking her head once she see's how large it is, "You know, I don't think it's a closet." |

These are the things that bring me Joy. Xashowd grinned. " It used to be. With a little help from a friend and some elbow grease, I've made it a habitable environment. Kept a few of the shelves though, pretty good for organization." He explained. " So are you exploring the guild? It can definitely be a crazy place, though I'll admit I haven't really ventured to other areas in some time." I am Xashowd, the Nocturne Zephyr!
"Oh, well a closet still seems an odd choice." She tries to stealthily sniff the air, trying to pinpoint exactly what she was smelling that seems so odd. "Yeah I was, it seems pretty quiet from what I've seen of it." |

"Hmm...Well I'll admit there hasn't been much going on since the Grunny incident. At least, not that I've heard." Xashowd replied. At that moment Thanaphyr floated over, having heard some of the conversation from the Reaplings' Room. "Hey Xashowd, what's going on?" He asked, somewhat curious. He looked at the girl standing outside. "Oh, Hi there!"

She blinks in surprise as the reapling appears, "Uh, hi..." Well, there's one of the odd scents. |

These are the things that bring me Joy. *Sorry about that! Smash Bros is very distracting... cat_sweatdrop * Thanaphyr looked at the woman more closely. " Hmm...You look familiar...Did I ever escort your soul to the afterlife?" He asked, and Xashowd shook his head. " No, this is the woman we met during the Ball. You know, the one you dived into the bushes at?" Thanaphyr's eyes widened. " OH! Hehe, now I remember. So how have you been?" The Reapling inquired, curious about her now that he could actually see her clearly. I am Xashowd, the Nocturne Zephyr!
(OoC: You get distracted by SSB and then I get too tired out by work to respond before the full moon. xp )
"I've been okay..." They knew her? Why doesn't she remember them? She frowns slightly, trying to remember anything involving a ball and bus- oh s**t. They met her on a full moon. She pales slightly, eyes flickering gold for a second as a spike of panic goes through her before she calms herself. She fishes out a cell phone from her pocket to check the time, mumbling a curse. "Sorry for barging in then leaving quick, but I gotta..!" |

*Hey, stuff happens!*
Thanaphyr and Xashowd looked at one another before turning back to her. "Gotta go Wolf out, huh?" Thanaphyr said, more of a statement than a question.
