4th Seal Unlocked

[shadow_possession]

[Action | 3478 Erwin | Morning]

[Dainn wasn't quite sure why he'd gotten a package, but none the less he decided to open it.

the minute he opened it he felt his teeth grow into fangs, the shape quite familiar when he ran his tounge over them. and the hunger...the hunger of an Immortal - a vampire.]

Well well....I believe I owe you one Mayfield. Thank you.


[Phone]

So that was one of the..."events" that this place sees fit to inflict on us? It was interesting, I have to say.

Humm...if no one minds me asking, what other kinds of things have happened here? I would like to know...


[Action: Around Mayfield | Night]

[this was a long time coming. being human didn't stop his desire to be out in about during the night so Dainn was making up for lost time.

he can be found wandering around Mayfield without a destination in mind. Dainn looks very pleased with himself, far more than usual. he felt at home in the darkness and happy he had his vampirism back.

he probably wouldn't mind any company on his walk, depending on who you are.]

[swordwaitress]

Oh, you were affected? Were you okay?

Um, I've heard there were cannibals here at one point...and I know there was trouble with the revival machine. And there was once when we suddenly made a time-skip. There's been a lot more, but I haven't been affected by that many yet...

[phone]

[shadow_possession]

I am quite alright. [if anything, he sounds pleased that it happened.]

Humm...cannibals. Sounds like fun. But 'revival machine'? What is that?

Re: [phone]

[swordwaitress]

Oh, then that's good I suppose. As long as you're alright.

There's a machine that makes sure that the ones who die are revived. After it was repaired, I've heard it isn't as painless as it was before.

[phone]

[shadow_possession]

So there is a machine that makes sure we don't stay dead. But what do you mean by 'painless'? Was it painful went someone was brought back?

[phone]

[swordwaitress]

I've never died myself so I'm not entirely sure about the details, but... as far I've heard you used to just wake up in your bed, but now there's things happening to you when you wake up, or it's delayed.

Though the whole thing about reviving is pretty strange in itself.

[phone]

[shadow_possession]

It is a strange thing, being brought back to life....but interesting. Do you know what these effects are?

[ phone ]

[extraordinarily]

During Halloween, aliens came out! We even partied in their UFO. There were also zombies... oh! And people grew and shrank, too. I have a whole list of events that occurred here!

[ phone ]

[shadow_possession]

[he laughs. what an enthusiastic sounding girl.]

A whole list? Would you be kind enough to give me a copy? I'm quite curious about these events.

[ phone ]

[extraordinarily]

I can't copy all those notes down since they don't have copy machines here. I can show it to you, though.

[ phone ]

[shadow_possession]

Mmmm...far enough. I'll come to you whenever you're free, miss....?

[ phone ]

[extraordinarily]

Suzumiya. Haruhi Suzumiya! And I'm free anytime, especially since I don't have work.

[Since she is, after all, a teacher.]

Phone }

[badend_replay]

Yes, it certainly is one of the events you heard of, sir. I am able to fill you in on past happenings, if you are certain it is of interest.

Phone }

[shadow_possession]

That'd be very kind of you miss. But first, what's your name?

Phone }

[badend_replay]

By name is Rika Furude. It is very nice to meet you, sir.

Phone }

[shadow_possession]

It's a pleasure to meet you Rika. My name is Dainn.

Now that introductions are done, what kinds of past happenings have come to past?

Night

[ex_seventh238]

[...Or he might be stalked too, there's that. White-haired, pale complexion, red eyes, walking around casually when it's so late... Suspicion is warranted, alright.

To her credit, Ciel is good at what she does. Concealing her overall presence and being quiet and stealthy in her movement aren't problems, but that generally mostly worked on humans and weaker... unholy beings. If he's powerful and got a keen sense, he'd likely catch on he's being followed. The direction of where it's from may be unclear though; as always, she favors tall places. That means traveling by lampposts, wire poles, roofs, and so on. The latter makes for decent hiding places too, so she's keeping it low.

Does he catch on/notice, sooner or later?]

Night

[shadow_possession]

[hey, he tends to stalk people as a hobby so it's only fair if someone else does it to him.

but whoever is doing the stalking does deserve some credit. it's a little while before Dainn does notice he's being followed. he keeps walking, however, acting like he isn't aware of what's going on while he tries to figure out exactly where the person is.

hopefully Ciel is very good since he's now curious about whoever is following him. it couldn't be Django. the boy, while simple, wasn't stupid and knew that Dainn was stronger at night. so who was it...?]

[ex_seventh238]

[tic for tac, fair enough!

Depends on where he's looking/if he gives any signs, like slacking his pace or suddenly starts to throw sideway glances. A good stalker pays attention to these things, naturally. She's keeping a good 20~30 feet of distance from behind/the side, given that she's looking out below from above. And nope, Django seems too scared of Dainn, though that's probably part of why he got in contact with other vampire hunters by trade in town, huh :v Based off of the physical descriptions that the Solar Boy gave her a while back, she is actually pretty sure of who she's looking at right now! So yeah, she's just gonna tail him and see if he feeds or does anything else suspicious. If he's exceptionally attentive, he might just end up catching the blur of a shadow somewhere above a house's roof, out of the corner of his eye... There's significant moonlight tonight, after all.]

[shadow_possession]

[exactly.

he's still walking normally, although he starts humming to himself eventually. all in all Dainn just looks like a "normal" person out on a late-night walk.

but the Immortal is trying to work out who is tailing him. they're pretty good - the only thing he can see of them is the occasional blur thanks to the moon. but "who" is better than the "how" right now. aside from the Solar Boy, Dainn hadn't made any enemies. there was the posibility that he warned others about him but...well unless someone decided to take matters into their own hands, Django was not the type to send someone out to killing Dainn on his behalf.

or it could just be some stupid person who fancied themself a hero. well whatever. he should just watch some more.]

[ex_seventh238]

[...Huh. What a whimsical fellow. Then again, she's met with weirder 'vampires'.

She has no intention of killing him at the moment. Anything involving killing is obsolete due to death not lasting in town, but she's also not someone who'd hesitate if it was the only way to stop a monster from creating more mess of a situation than it already has. Honestly, patrolling at night is something she does often. Django did warn her, but right now, she's just tailing him as an observer.

Patient, too. The minutes are ticking by, and she's not breaking a sweat continuing this. Ciel has zero hero complex. Just keeping an eye out, is all.]

Action; night time because yeah

[sunnydwithagun]

(No. Don't you dare even come close to Django's neighborhood...or just go outside in general. Because Django's outside and he REALLY doesn't want to see you. Especially since he didn't get back his solar gun from Marisa, so...yeah.

The Solar Boy's been stuck with a very similar regain and while he isn't happy about it at all, he has no choice but to accept it for what it is. Besides, the powers of darkness can be used for good! They just make traveling in the daytime much more fatal. At least he has more control over his vampire powers since 2!

But even with his trance experiences, there's no way he can hide his vampiric presence in the town. Head canon isn't sure if Dainn can pick up on this sort of thing, but if he can...there's a very familiar vampire nearby.)

[shadow_possession]

[he does feel a small spike in darkness. a very familiar spike of darkness. oh everything is lining up for him tonight. time to go troll see his favourite Solar Boy~

meaning there's someone watching Django from a distance. Dainn doesn't say anything for the moment. he couldn't tell that Django had more control over his vampire form - since, you know, he died before Boktai 3 rolled around - but he was curious to see how he would react to once again being tainted by the darkness.

but this also meant Dainn was happy. once he got his possession powers back, you would be more useful...hummm...]

[sunnydwithagun]

(Django does seem to be in much more control of himself since AUfield, at least. Being able to hold on to your consciousness while in vampire form was pretty sweet, so no more crawling on all fours! It's mostly walking around casually.

Though a chill goes down his spine when he feels not just the feeling of someone watching him, but of a vampire nearby. He was already trying to keep himself out of sight to prevent people from freaking out, but at these feelings, he transforms into his wolf form and makes for the shadows because wolf transformations are epic and Boktai 2 didn't do it justice. Just gonna imagine it as something like Symphony of the Night, okay? Okay.

So far, his body hasn't quivered from the darkness getting out of proportion, pretty much because it hasn't. And stop thinking about possessing him, because he'll play Ringo and get someone to kill him if you're in there!)

[shadow_possession]

[Dainn smirks and follows. it's kind of pointless to hide from him when he can sense you Django. though it is impressive that you're able to control yourself like this.

then he'll just body-hop to someone else and make more cracks about Ringo's methods being stupid. you self-sacrificing heroes are a bunch of idiots.]

[sunnydwithagun]

(Shhhhhhhhhh, he can still try! Besides, running around as a wolf is awesome And he can give heroic speeches as a vampire this time, so he'll talk your ear off if need be. He finds it very difficult to escape this pursuer and eventually stops to sniff the air for a better lead to work with.

Also, you're in no position to talk about idiots when you got stuck in Ringo's body because of his willpower alone. It's not stupid if it works.)
