[6:20 PM] Star Guardian Cold: It was one of those nights again, Kalenzo was having a hard time going to sleep and the night was still young. The man got up and stretched, rubbing his sunken eyes before letting out a yawn. In the back of his mind was a gnawing feeling that he was in for a certainly interesting evening. Regardless, he put on his clothing before beginning another round about the castle.(edited)
[6:37 PM] Star Guardian Z: Auriel was once again sleepless wondering how to spend the night. With the recent mess regarding otherwordly invasions and more work for her in Luna's absence, she lost more and more free time, and used more and more nights wondering.... how to spend her free time. She had the castle halls mapped out almost perfectly, and frequently wandered through them during the nighttime. I just want something to doooooo
[6:56 PM] Star Guardian Cold: The artist found himself in the castle halls, snaking his way through the halls that would soon become more and more familiar to him as he went on his usual walks. He leaned back and placed his hands into his pockets, still recollecting the past day and the sheer ridiculousness of the situation.
"What a wonderful couple of days this has been..." He remarked sarcastically, not seeming to care if someone had heard him. Once more, he raised one of his hands to his face in order to wipe his face of any imperfections that would ail him.(edited)
[7:21 PM] Star Guardian Z: Huh? I recognize this voice. Isnt it....
She stopped immediately, removing the headband so she could hear the man's voice better.
Yes, this is definitely the guy...
Getting back into her usual apathetic demaneaur, she leaned up against the wall, listening as the man came closer
[7:50 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Mhmm, what. a. wonderful. world..." He reiterated, taking a step with every piece of the sentence, making sure to take an extra long step at the word 'wonderful.'
Kalenzo had thought that he had seen movement in the corner of his eye, but when he looked at the area again, there was nothing... A chill went down his spine as he had a feeling as to who was near.
[7:50 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Hello?" He questioned, looking around, trying to brace himself for any stray throwing knives or whatever would come next.(edited)
[8:07 PM] Star Guardian Z: "Maaaaan...... Its youuuuuuu..."
Auriel giggled, before continuing
"Don't worry, we have to be friends in the claustrophobia sphere don't we?"
[3:18 PM] Star Guardian Cold: Kalenzo shivered once more, the dull and drawn-out words haunting his thoughts before he turned around. At the sound of a small giggle, he made eyecontact once more, letting out a shaky sigh before responding with a sheepish smile.
"Well, am I ever so glad to see you again."(edited)
[4:04 PM] Star Guardian Z: "Well, you should be... How come Luna let a lunatic like you come along?"
[4:11 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Hmph, funny story about that, really..." Kalenzo answered, scratching the back of his neck before clearing his throat. "One moment, I was at the party, enjoying the atmosphere. The next, I'm fighting for my life, plunging arrow after arrow into the monsters that came out of thin air. As for your question, I don't think she ran a background check on me... yet. Aside from that, even if she does I don't think she'd be able to find much, I never leave a big footprint in the places I go to."(edited)
[4:14 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "However, my point is that I was one of the civilians that fought during the events of the party." He smirked, his eyes narrowing as he brought his hand onto his hip. "Besides, I could ask the same question of you."(edited)
[5:07 PM] Star Guardian Z: "Me? Oh, you probably do not know then. Im Luna's retainer!"
Auriel grinned, going to the extent of showing her "fangs" .
"Besides. who are you practicing art on now? Citizens?"
[5:16 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Oh, her retainer are you? That's quite funny." He remarked, covering his mouth with his fingertips while he chuckled. "As for your question, I'm not practicing my art at the moment. I may be an artist, but I'm not a blind idiot. I know that there are guards posted, so I'll just lay low for a while, let the situation start to calm itself before I act."
[5:38 PM] Star Guardian Z: "Aww, seems you are about as bored as i am... you sure you have no ideas for anything to doo?"
[1:30 AM] Star Guardian Cold: "Oh I assure you, I know how to pass the time." He answered, finally crossing his arms. "Like I said, I'm an artist, I'll be able to occupy myself. How about you? How are you sating your tendencies?"(edited)
[11:36 AM] Star Guardian Z: "Tendencies? Excuse me, i think you might have misunderstood, i dont need to kill..... but its boooooooooring not to.
[11:43 AM] Star Guardian Cold: "Eh-excuse me?" Kalenzo questioned, looking at the woman with a perplexed expression as he leaned forward a tad. "Do, you only see killing as a game?"
[11:45 AM] Star Guardian Z: "Hmm?" Auriel tilted her head and smiled to the artist. "Isnt it like hunting? A sport?"
[11:53 AM] Star Guardian Cold: "What..." Kalenzo answered, his expression dropping into a deadpan glare. "A-are you kidding me? You seem to be mistaken, killing is more than just some tawdry old sport."
He took a deep breath before approaching the retainer, taking a step with every word.
"It. Is. An Art." He spoke from behind clenched teeth.(edited)
[12:04 PM] Star Guardian Z: "Art? So am i an artist then? I like killing..."
[12:12 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Well, answer me this: What is the reason behind your killings?" He questioned, unfolding his arms before placing a hand on his hip. "Is it the rush? Is it the feeling you get when you kill somebody, taking all they have had and could ever have? Or is it something else entirely?"
[12:21 PM] Star Guardian Z: Auriel placed a finger on her chin, perplexed over the question. "Well.... when they scream and try to run, and i stab them it is... funny. I get a good feeling." Auriel looked back, tilting her head again. "Was that good?"
[12:32 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Hmph, fair enough." Kalenzo answered, letting out an exasperated breath before taking a step back. "To each their own, I guess..."
[12:33 PM] Star Guardian Z: "What do you do then? Do you not think it is funny?"
[12:39 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Well, I believe there's some modicum of entertainment in killing. I just enjoy the sense of accomplishment I get from turning something mediocre into a thing of beauty." He responded, smiling as he recollected upon his past experiences.
[12:48 PM] Star Guardian Z: "So.... you like the red color?" Auriel smiled along, despite not knowing why
[1:05 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Ah yes, the color red, it's a wonderful color." Kalenzo nodded, shuddering a bit as he remembered some of his work. "I staunchly believe that it brings a magical kind of contrast to life."
[1:08 PM] Star Guardian Z: "It tastes pretty good too..." Thinking about food made Auriel hungry, but with limited rations nobody could stockpile them, so she had no reserves.
[1:15 PM] Star Guardian Cold: It tastes... good? Uh... Excuse me? He thought, tilting his head slightly "I'm a bit confused here, do you sometimes eat your killings?"
[1:23 PM] Star Guardian Z: "It isnt as tasty as birds.... I prefer stealing cattle...." Auriel shrugged.
[1:33 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Hmm, that's a tad... off-putting..." The artist commented, leaning back due to the uncomfortable air of the situation. "But, if that's what you do, I'm not going to stop you."
[1:37 PM] Star Guardian Z: "Im boooored though... can we do something?"
[1:48 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "I'm not killing at the moment, if that's what you're thinking." Kalenzo frowned, "However, if you're open to other options, I'd be glad to oblige you."
[1:49 PM] Star Guardian Z: "Luna does not like it when i kill..... What do you do in your free time?"
[1:56 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "I've just been looking around, trying to memorize the layout of the castle."
[1:56 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "I'm not very fond of surprises."
[2:07 PM] Star Guardian Z: "I did that aaaages ago....."
[2:09 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Well, I haven't gotten anything at the mess hall as of today... would you care to come with me?" He offered, staring at the small woman.
[2:13 PM] Star Guardian Z: "Hmmmm... im kinda hungry... Okay! Auriel was happy at the oppurtunity to do something with another person
[2:24 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Alright then, right this way." Kalenzo bowed mockingly as he did with their past encounter, motioning past him before opening his eyes. "Oh wait a minute, you already know that."
[2:36 PM] Star Guardian Z: "Yeah.... do you even know the way... oh, i forgot to ask, what is your name?"
[2:49 PM] Star Guardian Cold: The man let out a sigh at his own failure, he hadn't even shared names with the person who had tried to kill him. How shameful and unprofessional of me...
"Oh, my dearest apologies!" He apologized, bowing for real this time before standing himself back up and properly introducing himself. "I am Kalenzo, it's a pleasure to finally exchange names with you, Miss..."
He tilted his head, closing his eyes as he expected a response from the fellow killer.(edited)
[3:00 PM] Star Guardian Z: She bowed slightly, replying "Heh... I am Auriel.... Nice properly meeting you Kaka"(edited)
[3:06 PM] Star Guardian Cold: Kalenzo's head visibly twitched before his eyes opened.
"No no no, my name is Kalenzo. Ka-len-zo" He responded, sounding out the syllables of his name as he became slightly miffed by the nickname(edited)
[3:13 PM] Star Guardian Z: Auriel giggled, finding his reaction funny. "Sooooo... Kala then?"
[3:17 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "That's... closer, but not quite." He responded, an annoyed scowl slowly starting to develop on his face. "Say it with me now, Ka-len-zo."(edited)
[3:40 PM] Star Guardian Z: Auriel nodded
[3:41 PM] Star Guardian Z: "Ka-la"
[3:43 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Tch. Fine, call me that." He sighed defeatedly, starting to walk towards the Mess hall. "But just know that my name is Kalenzo."
[3:45 PM] Star Guardian Z: "Fine then Zozo" Auriel laughs.
[4:04 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Tch, what happened to Kala?" He asked from behind clenched teeth as he slowly narrowed his eyes in contempt.
[4:08 PM] Star Guardian Z: "Eh, what do you prefer? I like giving names Kalenzo, but you can't have that one."
[4:23 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "I'd much prefer no names at all, but Kala works..." Kalenzo replied, his teeth still clenched as he tried to hold himself back from outright attacking the woman for insulting him like that.
[5:11 PM] Star Guardian Z: "Just teasing you Kala, dont worry." Auriel grinned
"Shall we leave then?"
[5:12 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Yes... we shall." Kalenzo sighed, finally calming down as he realized it was all a joke.
[5:13 PM] Star Guardian Z: "Lets go then...... Kala"
[5:13 PM] Star Guardian Z: =END RP=
