[ 02 ] video ~ dated to after evening sirens

[theosen]

[ The sun has finally set, and when the video opens, its to the pitch black gloom of a decaying city from a rooftop in Sector One. Monsters rove the streets in packs, each more grotesque than the last, and it seems as though the one recording them is only all too fascinated with their destructive capabilities.

Finally, a voice like age-old gravel addresses the scene below, a dark silhouette only just now made visible as he perches on the edge of a rooftop. ]

The world unwinds again.

[ He gestures with a clawed hand, his tone only growing darker the longer than he speaks. ]

Forever lending itself to chaos and destruction, not even the souls of the damned have a say in what manner they are to exist.

Humanity's struggle against the tide of time is pointless, a meaningless effort that bears only the light of death, the inevitable end of a once untainted world. As worthless as they are destructive, their existence is but a cancer.

[ A dark shape drops down suddenly, attempting to latch onto the speaker. Jerking about, his eyes glowing a blistering white, he all but tears the Death Squid off him, its body ripped to shreds by a powerful unseen force.

Turning his gaze towards the NV, there's an almost mad sort of gleam there, a fury that will not abate. ]

You have twenty-four hours before I raze this city to the ground.

Fight me, if you dare.

[ He vanishes then, and the feed cuts off. ]


[ ooc: Another for the 7DS Plot, Proxy One has been hit with Wrath. Obviously, he won't actually get to destroy the city (Alucard will stop him, I think), but if you want to encounter a wrathful Proxy? Just be warned, he won't be playing nice. ]

[ Ah, this one. Such foolishness the young are capable of. ]

Will you?

Re: Video

[madeinoblivion]

I won't let you destroy the city!

[theosen]

You really think you can?

Re: Video

[madeinoblivion]

For all my friends, I'll fight.

I don't know who you are, but you can't just do that!

[theosen]

[ For your friends. He very nearly laughs. ]

I can, and I will.

Are you ready?

Re: Video

[madeinoblivion]

I've got to be, now or never-

I'll find you. The darkness of someone who wants to wreck a whole city's gotta reek for miles.

[ "Darkness"? He laughs. ]

So find me, child.

Find me, if you think you can.

Actionnnn?

[madeinoblivion]

[He takes to the streets in desperation, because he's been itching for a fight anyway, zealously envious of Roxas for having two keyblades, and itching to stick his own blade in something-anything, before the darkness rises up and consumes the whole of his Soul Gem.

...Trouble is, there is so much negative feeling in the streets this week, it's very hard to pick this distinctive jerk out, from among them.]

ACKSHUN

[theosen]

[ Though the monsters themselves are warped manifestations of those trapped within the rotting darkness, he himself bears a distinctive presence from those who've lost their souls.

A monster in humanoid form, he appears as a wraith clad in red, ominous and imposing. He yearning for battle has already been sated, but he'll hardly decline the child if he wants to have a go. ]

[madeinoblivion]

You.

[He catches up in the middle of a sector 4 street, not far from the parking lot of the stadium. Joe raises his blade with a glare, ready to defend the city.

...there's an awful lot of darkness in this one, though. Maybe even stronger than Ansem. For a moment he falters in hesitation, wondering if he ought have brought Riku or Roxas along with him.

No. No, he's too proud to let anyone else back him up, or rather...show him up, as the hero with more experience.]

[theosen]

[ "Darkness" -- another word for the bitterness of his character. One who despises as much he despairs, he has power that transcends the understanding of those who cannot see.

He considers the child as a cat might take note of a cockroach -- not even quite a morsel as a mouse would surely be. He's never see a weapon quite like that, but really, it matters little. ]

It would appear that you have found me.

[madeinoblivion]

[He holds his blade at a readied position, some sort of foul energy radiating off of its end, coiling an even thicker blackness into the dark.]

I won't let you destroy this world.

[Joe frowns firmly, not afraid, but a little doubtful that he's strong enough, on his own. Still...with Kyubey's contact in play, he can endure so much more than he normally would. He has to, for his friends.]

[theosen]

[ Curiosity of curiosities -- a weapon with unnatural power. He doesn't expect much in the way of a fight even with that minor detail, but it's interesting at least. ]

Will you, child?

[ A hint of dark amusement shines through in his words. ]

Do you think yourself so equal to the task?

[madeinoblivion]

I've gotta be!

[He shouts back in a mingling of confidence and desperation, charging then leaping with the blade held high and ready- Iroh's called his stance too open, too inviting in it's aggression...but it's how he's always fought, and so he hasn't much changed things when attacking on pure instinct.]
