Devil's Nest 9 | Looking For A Show?

[all_ofthethings]

[624 Topper: Household/Anyone passing by]

[Greed eyes the package carefully, wondering just what could be in it. Unlike some people, he hadn't been disappointed by his regains yet. Sure, he could do without the ouroboros, but he'd like. He shakes the box and grins.]

[He tears it open and frowns at the number of red stones inside. Of course Mayfield had to do this the hard way.]

[One can find him sitting on the porch digging through the stone, picking each one up and eying it carefully before setting it down next to him. He's not sure exactly how this is going to work. Are they each a little piece of his stone, or is one specific one his stone and the rest are just to screw with him?]

[At one point or another he'll chuckle to himself when he does find the proper stone. It seems to sink into his skin, and for a moment, he's lost in the chaos that comes with the Philosopher's Stone. He might not respond to anything for a few moments.]

[John Doe Park]

[Are you one of the many people training with a weapon out in the park? If so, he's headed your way for a test run.]

Wanna see a trick?

[Olney's Tavern]

[Greed seems to be in a very good mood tonight, and if you ask why, maybe he'll pour you a free drink and give you a show.]

[priceofmagic]

Au? A trick?

[ Satou pauses her training, which in this case means putting down the metal pole she's chosen as a substitute for her magic wand. ]

Um... sure! [ He'd better not be wasting my time. She's full of unkind thoughts again and shakes her head to scold herself. ]

[all_ofthethings]

Well, swing that thing at me as hard as you can. You gotta do some damage or else it won't work.

[priceofmagic]

S-swing it? Um... Are you sure that's a good idea? You could get a concussion, you know.

[all_ofthethings]

[He gives her a reassuring smile and nods.]

Nah, don't worry about it, that's part of the trick.

[thegirltwin]

Greed? Ah, I suppose so...!

[all_ofthethings]

[He takes a relaxed stance.]

You got that gun with you? Just shoot me, as many times as you want. Take any anger you got at this town out on me.

[thegirltwin]

What? No! I'm not doing that!

[all_ofthethings]

C'mon, doll, Nina. I promise I won't feel a thing!

Don't you trust me?

[thegirltwin]

[Nina swallows hard.]

I don't understand. Why do you want me to do this?

[all_ofthethings]

Well, I could shoot myself if you give me the gun. I wanna show you a new trick. If you're worried just shoot my arm or my foot. Trust me, it's pretty cool.

[technologic]

[Sup Greed. Here's one redhead walking in, leaning on her walking stick and blinking at him.]

... You're in a pretty good mood, tonight.

[all_ofthethings]

[And he suddenly goes slack-jawed.]

You don't seem like drone anymore. Ya here for a drink?

[Clearly he's making sure she isn't a drone still. It was freaky to see her walking around as miss perfect.]

[technologic]

[She giggles faintly and nods.]

I'm pretty sure I'm not a drone, and I could go for a drink. [Then her expression turns a bit sheepish.]

... Though, um, can I ask for a hug first? It's been a while since I last saw you.

[all_ofthethings]

[He laughs, then circles around the counter and gives her a big hug.]

Ya missed me that much, eh?

[He releases her and ruffles her hair.]

It's good to see ya, red.

[technologic]

[She happily returns the hug.]

Well, it has been a few years for me since I last saw you, so I can admit that I missed you a bit.

[And she grins and giggles at the hair ruffle.]

It's good to see you too, Greed.

[all_ofthethings]

[He lets out a low whistle.]

A few years, eh? Kind of strange of them to bring you back, though. Is it weird?

[technologic]

Yeah, kinda. But I don't really mind, since I get to see all my friends again.

[all_ofthethings]

Well, I don't mind seein' ya either!

[He squints his eyes and gives her a once over.]

Did you grow a bit since I last saw you, or did you change your hair, something is definitely different.

[godaime]

[ Your favorite customer just walked in with her pet pig and sits down to her usual spot, much to the disgust of all the fellow drones. ]

Well then, tender, I'd like the usual please. [ Less than a minute in and she's already pulling out a drone wallet. Oh, the joys of being a ninja and stealing from the mentally devoid. ]

Re: tavern

[all_ofthethings]

One tea coming up for the lady.

[He mixes up the drink and slides it down the counter to her.]

So, seen anything interesting since the good doctor left?

[godaime]

[ She takes a sip, gulping it joy. She finally places the drink down with a huge sigh. ]

Well, I've been going around healing everyone I possibly could now that I have my healing powers back. There's some messed up things in there, but luckily, there's not a wave of those unfortunate victims everyday. Though, I don't think I'd see anything that'd top the limb reversal.

[all_ofthethings]

Limb reversal? Sounds like something out of a horror story.

[He grimaces.]

So, what's your healing ability like?

[godaime]

It was probably even worse. I can't picture what that poor woman had to go through.

[ And she doesn't! ]

My healing ability is basically Shosen Jutsu. It speeds up the body's natural healing process, though it manipulates in some way to heal things it normally can't. I have so much skill with it that now I can heal fully dead or nonfunctional things like necrosis, and regenerate new organs from scratch if needed.

[all_ofthethings]

Jutsu, eh? Does that mean you use your earth's natural energy for the technique, or maybe even your own? We've got something similar back home, but my shitty ass father controls it in our area, leaching energy every time people use it.

But that's a pretty nifty skill. Could help out a lot here.

[godaime]

A jutsu is used by manipulating chakra, which is something found in all cells in trace amounts. I never met someone that can properly absorb all of the techniques used in a certain area though. That's some rather intricate accomplishments, if only because of the area it absorbs.

It definitely will help here, and I can wait to get my combat skills back. Though, in times of difficulty, this can be used too.
