Tourist CONFUSION [CLOSED]

Who: 'Hugo', 'Noboru', Yuuya, and NPCS!!! (wow) (and Zecora)
When: October 13th, 2017
Where: Portland area, in the new reality.
What: ANGELS VS VAMPIRES well that's a curbstomp-
Warnings: FIGHTS ARE HAPPENING gon's gettin his rear whooped (he'll liveish)

[Being a ghost was odd. Ghosts by nature had something unfinished about them, but another thing that seemed to come up was wanting things in general. Or just over all focusing on even the smallest slight.

This was what the ghost of Reina's former boyfriend seemed to do, not long after his own death. One would think he would hinge on the angel that failed to spare him and spared her instead. Or perhaps her being alive prevented that. But what he DID focus on as a subject of rage (while unfortunately being quite invisible) was the one draining his body in the morgue.

It was easier, when the body was fresh and untarnished like this, for the mortician to have his vampire friend attach a few tubes to the corpse, and drink up. Bodies had to be drained after all.

Logically that made sense, but 'Jerry' was a little too focused on the treatment of his corpse as a snack.

And he focused-and focused, focused until he could finally make himself visible to his former beloved to tell her just that; to look for the vampire that fed at the hospital he'd died in, and Take Him DOWN.

Reina was happy to oblige.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yeah, as I'll ever be.

[Carefully masked as usual in his human form, Hugo was watching their undead target for the duration of the ride, since there wasn't exactly much else to do other than wait for the place and moment to strike.]

All I have to do is take this guy out and the city's a better place with one less vampire right?

[Well, one could suppose that's an almost noble way one could paint the situation.]

Exactly. I'm surprised we even have any still, with how many of your kind are supposed to be here, [she remarks, huffing.] Keep your aura under control though, [she warns, glancing toward 'Hugo' as they carry on.]

[Right, that. Of course. Can't just let it emanate as willy-nilly as he tends to do. The angel focuses for once on making his presence even smaller, though that flickers a moment when he also decides to add-]

Maybe he got good at avoiding us then, but definitely he won't this time...!

[~~Hugo, where is your off switch.~~]

[Reina merely rolls her eyes at that, and watches the flickering with disdain.] We're not going anywhere until I don't see that happening for a full minute.

[Or, well, they won't do anything at least...]

[Is that a sign for Hugo to shut up and focus on being as undetectable as possible? At least it seems that the angel finally takes the hint because he gets back to properly doing just that.

Can't get the both of them caught or anything, that would be bad.]

[It is absolutely the sign for that, and when she's finally pleased with his silence and lack of glow, they move on.] We need him to be isolated, [She mutters, watching as their target walks the streets.] ...Attacking here could attract attention...

How did you find out about them anyway?

[Not that it doesn't take much over the bare minimum of effort to get him to agree to something. But Hugo never would have guessed Reina to be someone interested in taking a more proactive approach to possible supernatural threats.

It's curious.]

I got a tip, [She grumbles, rolling her eyes.] We have mages running around everywhere, you think I didn't notice when they started firing at the sky?

[Actually Jerry noticed that but-] It's an embodiment of the unholy anyway. Isn't that your thing?

Uh... sure. Of course. Defending against unholy threats and all that.

[Hugo should know all the distinctions between his "guardian" role and the others. Surely everything he's accomplished is what he's truly meant to be doing.

So maybe that answer didn't seem confident but.]

... And I'm not going to let you down, I swear...!

Then why complain? [She scowls, and continues on.] As long as you do the job properly, we can go home happy, alright? And besides... [She adds, smirking at her partner as she reaches to brush a bit of his hair aside.] We can spend the rest of the evening together properly from there...~

[Shame that doesn't happen.]

[Yes what a shame, assuming Hugo properly understands what his girlfriend is getting at.

His egao back at her is bright (not literally) and genuine, man how lucky he is to be with this mortal.... that just as Hugo thought he'd be left pining from afar for the rest of all eternity, fate would bring its admittedly cruel hand down and pave way for where he is now.]

I'd like that.

[Either way, of course he would.]

Exactly. Let's get to it, we'll lose him otherwise, [she mutters, continuing along the path. He seems to be going to a park...and that knowledge makes her smirk, crossing her arms as the vampire disappears past the gate.]

Perfect-there's no way anyone will be here at this time of night...

...Ready?

[Born ready. Hugo steals a smooch if he can before getting out of the car and immediately morphing into his true dragon-like self. Though for now he still manages to hold back his usual obnoxious glowing, which would've lit up the night like hundreds of cellphones.

Up and over the gate he goes, quickly and silently.]

[Smooch stolen! And she'll lean back in her seat now.

While Reina hangs back, Gongenzaka is moving to take his usual position under the stars for practice. And yet, he hesitates all the same. As he stands in the park, he is silent, staring upward and frowning. Aside from the spell attracting mages that other night... ...He keeps 'remembering' things. Misplacing thoughts, images...it's disturbing, frankly, and he's worrying himself.

He doesn't even hear Hugo approach. Though it feels like something...something is in the air...]

[Literally, figuratively, and metaphysically yes there is.

As if he's a teal-hued white dwarf releasing a solar flare, the angel lets himself shine as he dives for the vampire at high speed. Trying to tackle Gon may not exactly be an elaborate plan of attack, but who needs a plan when you're made of holy magic?]

[And the result is instantaneous.] AAAUGGH-K-!

[Immediately there is a sudden burn, before he can even turn to look. And when he does turn, it is to see the face of a friend...No, no, older than that, he thinks, but then he thinks 'I need to run'. Fear fills his veins as the light sears him, already leaving the sting of radiation across him as he hurriedly struggles to run from the spot. Flight. He can use flight, he thinks, and he summons his wings, the great appendages breaking through his T-shirt as he tries to take off.

Fly..!]

[Just more skin for the holy aura to burn. Hugo lunges with his claws to grab at those wings and hopefully pin the vampire to the ground.]

Hah! Don't think you're going to escape so easily...!

GRRAAAAAAAA -AAAAAAUGGGH!

[Honestly it's a good thing Yuugo is still 'holding back' some, or he'd have fried on the spot. The vampire pulls desperately, just as much as the other does-and the wings crumble into ash within the angel's hands, successfully grounding the other.

But still he tries to run-choking, scrambling, and managing to shout-] Who are you..!?

[It is clear, after all, that they are targeting him directly.]

That.. is information you don't need to know you... [Uh.] lowly... undead scum!

[Holding back? Well no one except another angel can prove anything, but it's definitely hard to justify taking out a vampire that hasn't been seen attacking people and weirdly famili- wait what.

Hugo just shakes his head and pounces for Gon again, so to speak.]

Edited 2017-07-06 18:06 (UTC)

Nghh... 'Scum'..!? [Honestly he's wondering if he managed to avoid a wave of racism that was a long time coming, at this point-but with even just those few blasts of radiation he's spent-exhausted, burning, and the closer Yuugo comes as he collapses the more he burns-he can't run, he's too weak. He can't move, it feels as though he's on fire and he might as well be and the most he can think to do in that moment is-

A beacon...] Hahhhhh...Khhh... AAAAHHHHH....

[JustmakeitstopmakeitstopmakeitsTOP-]

[Yuya hears the screams even through the trees--Gongenzaka wasn't home like he expected, and he was going to show Yuya his online game.

The distress has him running quickly. He's almost sure he can recognize that voice.

In fact, he does, and the scene is worse than he expected. Gon screaming, pinned down, and some... creature that feels uncomfortably familiar, but also off. He's real tired of that feeling.

The... dragon? Is big, but Yuya can't leave Gon like that. So he grabs a rock near his feet and runs forward chucking it forward. He ustedes his telekinesis to keep it on track straight for Yugo's head.]

Hey! Get away from him!

Edited 2017-07-06 18:45 (UTC)

[Bullseye! The rock impacts hard into the angel's "helmet" and Hugo recoils, so it manages to at least accomplish the goal of making him let go of the vampire. Any damage accomplished is easy enough to naturally heal, not like there's a brain in there to injure. What the heck was that?]

You DARE, human?!

[Wait a second isn't that kid... Aw SHIT.]

I mean...RRA̧UƯG͠H́RRR!!!

[That sure is ~~Clear Wing's~~ an actual roar coming from a mouth with sharp teeth.]

Edited 2017-07-06 19:34 (UTC)

[The roar makes him shake. No good, bad things always happen when he heard that sound--he knows it.

Butt then his eyes lock back on Gon's body as Yugo moves away and he sucks in a deep breath to step his nerves. He has to stop this.]

You. You heard me! [He really needs something bigger than rocks, but that's all he's got around him that he's confident he can move. So a couple more rise up around him as he balls his fists and go flying once again for Yugo.] I said get away from him!

[He hovers back further and further with each rock thrown, holding up one arm that's just as thickly plated as most of his body. As much as Yuya can't actually beat him like this, the kid doesn't have to. Might want to aim lower and harder though.

"Stop it! Stop this right now!"

Has he... done this before? Attacked someone and unleashed worse consequences? Hugo snarls from the resulting headache. Doing stuff like that isn't what he stands for!]

[There is a groan, and a rasp, as Gongenzaka attempts to move. He can see the Dragon... He can see Yuuya and his memories big and sink as he struggles to keep them in his sights.] Y...Yuuya... ...Yuuya, get... Away from here...

...It's dangerous... [Why does this feel familiar...?

And why does it fill him with shame..?

His eyes close over, and he again stops moving.]
