[7:54 PM] Storm: === Self RP===
[7:58 PM] Storm: Out for a late night stroll, the day after the escape, Conri felt the need for some peace and quiet. The night was always a soothing time. A perfect time to contemplate the strangeness of that prison. Something had happened to him in there, something he couldn't understand.
Conri sat down next to the base of a large tree, not far from the cliffside. He pulled out his pendant from underneath his shirt The purple stone at the center sparkled in the moonlight as Conri held it up to the stars. What happened to me? Something unlocked a memory, but who was that, why were they talking about spirits, and why did he call me by that strange name? Conri placed the pendant back under his shirt and stared at his hands for a moment The magic, it was odd but it felt ... it felt like it was ... normal, like I was somehow used to it. The fuck. Conri shook his head, machines of terrible power, crazy prisons, spirit magic, and the whole attack on Amaterasu. What the fuck was happening.(edited)
[8:03 PM] Storm: "What are you even doing?" he muttered his thought aloud. About to go lay siege with the very people you once happily slaughtered, obligated to serve the Queen but no idea where she went off to. Let alone know if she even knows who you are or what you do. You have that stupid contract you carry around but never making a damn choice. Conri rummaged through the pockets in his jacket, pulling out a scroll of parchment sealed with wax. He rolled it in his fingers before resting it with the seal facing him. The seal on the wax was a blade with two lightning bolts on either side. His employer had handed him this before he left Khlin. Though it remained unopened he knew exactly what it contained. You won't do it. You've become soft. Refusing this easy kill. You're a disgrace to Master Blint
[8:07 PM] Storm: Conri ripped the seal apart, unfurling the paper and reading it for the first time. As he already knew, it was a contract to kill the masked vigilante of the Khlinese rebels. With quite the reward. Normally he would have rejoiced in such a kill, but the return of Lunarea and the Freyzenese election were of greater importance at the time. The Lady Satomi, however, had reassured him that he was welcome to complete the contract on his own time. To hold onto the scroll for when he changed his mind. But for somereason he just never did. Even when the target was right there in front of him all those times.
"I work for the royal family" he tried to reassure himself, "The Princess stands behind this kid apparently. That's why I'm not killing him yet."
Yeah right, I've gone soft
[8:15 PM] Storm: Conri's ears twitched as he heard footsteps coming up the trail. Narrowing his eyes he saw a rebel fighter making his way towards him. As the rebel approached Conri hastily stuffed the contract back into his jacket, next to his book journalizing the contracts his completed.
"What are you doing out here?" he called out to the rebel, tilting his head slightly up.
Just out for a late night stroll" the young man called out with a hint of enthusiasm, "You?"
"Same. Need some time away from the camp" Conri analyzed the man as he approached closer now. Young farmers boy it seemed. Probably caught up in the idea of the rebllion with no thought of what comes after. No weapon on him, too trusting of the situation. More of a boy than a man. Easy enough to handle.
"Oh you're with those from the prison, with whats her name, the Princess" the boy exclaimed.
Conri nodded in response. The kid couldn't be older than 18.
"Man it's so cool you guys are helping us! Finally we can take Intetsu! This war will finally be over and the nobles will get what they deserve! Mind if I sit?"
"I'm actually leaving, so be my quest" Conri said annoyed, starting to get up.
"Oh where you going?"
"Away from you. Don't follow" Conri fully up now, rubbed down his jacket and pants of any dirt. In doing so, the contract for the masked vigilante dropped and rolled to the rebel's feet. Before Conri could snatch it up, the poor kid had picked it up.
"Don't read that" Conri barked threateningly, but it was too late.
[8:22 PM] Storm: The boy's eyes darted from the parchment to Conri, seemingly making a connection.
"Y-y-y-y-you're- you're gonna kill him aren't you" he stammered backing away from Conri. "Wait a second. N-n-n-n-n-n-no it can't be. Y-y-y-you're the, you're the demon wolf!"
"What the fuck are you talking about kid?" Conri said, stepping towards the kid, "I interecepted this. Was going to show it the Princess."
"No,no,no you're that demon wolf that killed that entire section. I recognize eyes. I-I-I was there when you killed them all. I was a nobody then and managed to get away before the slaughter, but you're him. You're the demon wolf. I can't let you kill our hero. I've gotta warn someone"
[8:30 PM] Storm: "What the hell are you going on about? You see one wolfskin and you think demon wolf" Conri was annoyed. He came out here to contemplate what he should do, what he had become, and now this kid was here fucking everything up.
"No I know you're him. You're an assassin hired by the Stormblades! See right here, it's signed by Lady Satomi Stormblade that you agree to kill the masked viglante.
Conri sighed, that was it. He had enough.
"Please. An assassin? Don't compare me to such amateurs." Conri was at the rebel in an instant, covering his mouth with his hand. "You know, I just wanted some goddam peace and queit"
With one swift motion, Conri snapped the young man's neck and snatched the contract from his grasp.
With one swift motion, Conri snapped the young man's neck and snatched the contract from his grasp.
[8:37 PM] Storm: Conri rolled the parchment up and shoved it in his jacket, staring at the motionless body. He looked back in the direction of camp, before dragging the body to the cliff and chucking it over. "Stupid kid" he muttered.
Demon wolf. Ha! I sure don't deserve that title anymore. What do I do now? I run around fighting alongside my enemies. The vigilante, the rebels, that Dwabi Sula. Master Blint would be disappointed in me. I served the King of Freyzenwald.. I fought on the shores of Dwabi, slaying all those people in search of the Queen. What am I now? No better than a foot soldier. I'm a disgrace.(edited)
[8:44 PM] Storm: Conri took one last look down the cliffside to the rebel's body, now jutting out on a rock. Couldn't have you running around telling my secrets. Stupid kid. He turned around, defeated.
"Might as well head back and drink it all away" he muttered, "It's all I'm really good for nowadays anyway."
