[Event] Invasion!

Characters: OPEN to everyone!
Location: All over Death City
Rating: Various
Time: February 2nd
Description: Witches have invaded and are attacking the city!

The attack, when it comes, happens quickly enough that Death City would have been caught flat-footed had there been no prior warning, but it's not completely unexpected because of the city's heightened state of alarm the past day. Warning sirens start sounding to alert the citizens and guests the moment a dark, slow-moving mass out in the desert to the south-east of Death City is spotted by Shibusen sentries. There's even time for civilians to run and hide before the mass is identified as an army of what looks like decaying, shambling corpses. The city's defenders are slow to move, however; most of them are distracted and are having trouble dealing with the black blood in their bodies. While agents are gathering to head out to deal with the zombie threat, that's when the witches make their move.

Portals begin opening in the skies above the city, disgorging hideous familiars: bulbous spiders and leggy ants the size of dogs. They drop hundreds of feet down into the streets and alleyways of Death City, and scuttle off in search of victims. The spiders are poisonous and can spin copious amounts of web to capture their targets, the ants spit acid that cause agonizing, paralyzing pain. Their masters bear down on the city in a cloud of black shadows--massive ravens strong enough to carry off adult men. There are five witches, women on broomsticks, beautiful if not for their crazed grins and obvious glee at the chaos descending upon the city. At some unknown signal--maybe the cackling from a couple of them--they dive in concert and disappear into different areas of the city.

Their masterful plan has begun!

The gargoyle was gliding through the air currents while Death City went mad. The crows were quiet easy to deal with, she believed, but that’s probably because she had wings herself. Demona simply watched from a top all that was happening and she was enjoying herself a bit too much. Humans in panic, frantically trying to fight off, but specially, dying. It was delightful to say the least.

Demona decided to land at the park. With her, she had a long knife she had stolen somewhere, but it was simply to fending off those who attacked her. She had no intentions of being the one attacking. That was when her eyes met Teresa. The woman gave her a strange vibe, almost inhuman if she could call it that, but it was that smile that made it very different.

Her smile remained as she pulled her knife free, stepping over the twitching corpse before her silver eyes lifted to stare at the strange creature nearby. The creatures appearance was that of a youma, yet the stink that followed those wretches didn't come to her. She felt a wave of annoyance that she didn't have her youki sensing abilities, since that would have told her for certain one way or another.

She flicked her blades to dislodge some of the blood from them, allowing it to spatter on the grass carelessly. "You have the appearance of a youma, yet I don't sense you. Do you eat guts?"

[personal profile] pmsgargoyle 2012-03-15 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"I do not. I believe I have better taste than that." whatever a youma was, Demona obviously knew it wasn't a regular creature. Perhaps one of the Third race, but the gargoyle doesn't truly care. "You have the appearance of a human, yet you do not feel like one." she didn't question what Teresa was, though.

[personal profile] of_the_faint_smile 2012-03-15 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, most youma would admit to eating or craving guts, so this ones denials was currently enough for her. Youma were always hungry after all, the worthlessly selfish creatures that they were. "I suppose so. You're too powerless for an awakened being as well... so I suppose you're just one of those individuals from a different world than my own."

Her pleasant smile remained, and she remaining peering at the winged creature. "I'm not human, just my consciousness is."

[personal profile] pmsgargoyle 2012-03-16 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
“I guess I am.” Powerless? Well, yes. Right now. She was, at least, much more powerful than a human, however. Demona still held on to that, at least. Still, her expression did not change. “Enjoying yourself?”

[personal profile] of_the_faint_smile 2012-03-16 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Everything here is weaker than it should be. It's unfortunate," she murmured as if in addition to her previous thought. She tucked the knives away for the time being and regarded the youma-looking woman. "Doing what I do best is always enjoyable. Whatever resistance they put up is meaningless."

[personal profile] pmsgargoyle 2012-03-16 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Except the Witches. In her world, no Witch was capable of ever provoking a war against the humans. "Killing is what you do best?" How amusing. Demona glances over the zombies, shaking her head "Those don't even put resistance. They are expendable, after all."

[personal profile] of_the_faint_smile 2012-03-16 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Teresa raised an eyebrow at the youma-looking woman, that pleasant smile still on her lips. "It is. May as well take some pride in what I do best," she said logically. Her gaze shifted and followed to the shambling zombies, and she shook her head at the sight of them. "Pitiful wretches. They aren't even alive, so it seems pointless to kill what's already dead."

[personal profile] pmsgargoyle 2012-03-16 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
She didn't disagree with Teresa, at all. Demona always enjoyed a good fight, and truthfully, killing humans could be considered some sort of sadistic enjoyment for her. "They, however, wish to kill you." Kill or be killed. Just because they are dead and are mindless, if they attack, they must be destroyed. Simple as that, for Demona.

[personal profile] of_the_faint_smile 2012-03-16 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"They can try, but their efforts will be unsuccessful," she replied with a cool confidence. She had no intention of dying here at all, not when she had a Weapon to find and take control of. That would make the battles rather easy she thought, but being with Yuuri made her content again.

Looking at the winged creature, she raised an eyebrow. "What species are you? No human clearly; they are far weaker than you appear to be."

[personal profile] pmsgargoyle 2012-03-16 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
That question was starting to be quite boring by now. It wasn't surprising, but it was slightly annoying having to explain her species all the time. The only consolation was the praise with Teresa's last words "Gargoyle. My kind has existed on Earth even before the Humans." there was even a time they have lived together, peacefully. Of course it didn't last long.

"We don't seem to exist on other worlds, however."

[personal profile] of_the_faint_smile 2012-03-16 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Teresa considered the word for a long time, trying to decide what it meant in relation to what she knew about her own world. She examined the wings, the tail and the claws of the other woman before nodding her head in acceptance. It seemed to her that being of the non-human variety was beneficial to them both.

"I can't say that I've ever heard of your kind," she replied with a shrug. "Does your kind defend humans or just exist in the shadows to them?"

[personal profile] pmsgargoyle 2012-03-16 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Defend humans? If she wasn't putting up a nice facade for now, Demona would have rambled on about how those treacherous and disgusting maggots should all perish, and how her plans pretty much consisted on doing so.

However.

"The latter. Humans are not fond of what they don't understand." that was an understatement, really.

[personal profile] of_the_faint_smile 2012-03-16 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Nodding in agreement, she knew first hand about humans being distrustful and often times aggressive to things that they didn't understand. Funny, they were even like that with creatures that had once been human but sold away. Sometimes, she really did wonder why she had served so long complacently.

She was not so gentle with her opinion, the madness loosening her tongue. "Some humans are nothing more than foolish piles of waste that need only to be removed," she said with that same pleasant smile on her face. "Amazing they survive at all."

[personal profile] pmsgargoyle 2012-03-16 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
The gargoyle smirked, amused at those words. So it seemed she wasn0t the only one, was she; others knew how the Humans were, they knew what it had to be done.

"I wonder. You say such things, but yet here you are, among them."

[personal profile] of_the_faint_smile 2012-03-17 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Teresa looked around as if realizing for the first time that she was still among the humans. She considered the words carefully before shrugging her shoulders. "Old habits, I suppose."

She wasn't certain if they would change either. "Besides, years of training forbade me from killing them takes its toll in general circumstances. I'm forced to live as a human, which is... strange."

[personal profile] pmsgargoyle 2012-03-17 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"So you've become complaisant? What a shame." it really was. No one should go along with Humans. Demona too has lived many years among humans and she eventually came to trust them at some point, but that been a huge mistake she would never do again. And so she no longer would happily live with them.

[personal profile] of_the_faint_smile 2012-03-18 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Teresa shot the winged woman a look of amusement. "I don't see you peeling their skin off of them either," she replied casually even as she looked off beyond the trees again. "Unless you plan on doing that, I hardly think you are in a position to judge."

[personal profile] pmsgargoyle 2012-03-18 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
She was indeed planning that. But while she is setting up her plan, she isn't helping them, is she? "Who knows? Maybe I just talk big. But one thing is certain, I am not helping them, am I?"

"Nor are you hindering them," she replied simply before turning her back on the other woman. "If all you are is talk, I see no point in wasting my time here any longer. I need to find my Weapon," she said coolly, gesturing with a hand to indicate that she was leaving.

"If you ever become more than talk, look me up," she said before moving out of the area.

[personal profile] pmsgargoyle 2012-03-18 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
The gargoyle simple laughed softly "If you believe a loose tongue will suffice, when your actions are against you, then you must be quite naive." there was no way Demona was about to trust whatever she truly felt and wanted to do with the Humans to someone she just met, was fighting with the Humans, and even had a partner, no matter how bitter she sounded towards them.

"I bid you farewell" the female moved to a tree, climbing it and with that, gaining enough impulse to glide away.
