Tourist CONFUSION [CLOSED]

[betheman]

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.]

STALKING A VAMPIRE (NPC, THE GUYS)

[insidescoop]

It's here. [She was only dating him for the perks, and right now those perks would come in handy, she thought. If vampires were like in the books, then the one they were slowly following from the hospital this evening wouldn't stand a chance. It wouldn't do to fight him here though-no, she knew better than to draw THAT kind of attention, especially with all those mages harassing any sort of supernatural being in the street.

She needed to be careful. So she was following in silence, car lights off, moving at a crawl.] You ready?

[bananaspeedrider]

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.]

[insidescoop]

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.]

[bananaspeedrider]

[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.]

[fortuneglass]

[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...]

[bananaspeedrider]

[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.]

[insidescoop]

[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...

[bananaspeedrider]

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.]

[insidescoop]

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?

[bananaspeedrider]

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...!

[fortuneglass]

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.]

[bananaspeedrider]

[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.]

[insidescoop]

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?

GET THEE A MEDIC- (The Guys, + Zecora)

[insidescoop]

[It was a mess, what Reina was dealing with-but somehow she'd gone from dedicating herself to murdering this vampire to....Eugh.

Saving him. The burned up living corpse had managed to mutter one hospital in particular before passing out, and it was only because of everyone's wailing that she hauled his marble-skinned mass into the back seat of her car, growling for the kid with her boyfriend's face to get into the passenger seat and buckle up. (There would be no ditching the seatbelt after what happened to Jerry)

Hugo would follow behind. He had no choice but to do that, lest he blast the vampire off the face of the earth-but soon enough they were at the hospital, and soon enough with the help of this tomato-haired kid, the blonde 20ish year old was dragging a vampire with severe burns in toward the front entrance.] Right. You go get that 'Zecora' lady, [she mutters.] ...I'll stick around until I see her coming. Got it?

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya sulked silently the entire trip. His expression was only broken whenever he'd look over his shoulder at Gon, worried. He seems to look worse and worse the longer it takes to get there.

When they come to a stop he snaps his attention forward and wastes no time bounding out of the car. No time helping get Gon to the entrance, and no time to go find Zecora.]

Thanks. [His voice is tense because, really, this was her fault. And he was still angry, but he was also scared. And Gon's life was more important than his feelings.

He goes running down the halls, and... who. Who is Zecora. How does he find her.]

Hey! Miss Zecora, are you here?! Hello! [That's one way.]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[He doesn't have to go far to find Zecora -- who he'd run straight past on his way in, as she walked past the hospital. She leans in the doors, one hand supporting her against the frame.] Excuse me -- are you looking for me?

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya skids to a halt down the hallway and turns right back around.]

Yes! [He points towards the hospital entrance.] Gongenzaka! Noboru is hurt! He needs help.

[Yuya doesn't even catch the slip of his tongue on Gon's name, instead pointing more emphatically. Let's go!]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[She takes a moment, in no small part because of that slip, to connect the name to the large fellow who took care of her medical waste -- and then she squeezes her eyes shut, even as she motions him back quickly.]

Lead the way. And... [Her voice drops to a low undertone.] We will likely need to go to my clinic. The hospital is likely to find a few things they shouldn't, if they try to treat him.

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya nods, leading her back to where Reina is waiting with Gon. It isn't far, since they hardly made it to the entrance dragging him along. Though that was likely in part Reina's reluctance.]

last tag from npc next round it gon time

[insidescoop]

[It's in every pit her reluctance-the moment Reina spies them coming, she jerks her thumb toward the bushes she's deposited the vampire in, and heads for her car.] We're square now, got it? [she insists, as if she wasn't the cause of the entire situation in the first place.] You'd better not forget that I didn't get this chance for Jerry.

[She's Outtie-]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[Patient in the bushes. Woman snarking threats that hint at greater problems and equality. Yeah, this is what Zecora likes to see.]

What happened? [First things first: find out just how injured he is.]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya just glares at Reina as she leaves... but he won't stop her because he doesn't expect any help. Even if he's sorry for what happened to her boyfriend, it doesn't justify this.

He pulls the pushes back so he can check on Gon himself, hoping he's not starting to succumb to the injuries. Hang in there, buddy.] It was, uh, angelic aura or something? It was holy magic... that's really bad for vampires, isn't it?

[otoko]

[DEFINITELY bad. Gongenzaka didn't exactly have to breathe before, but the lifesign he does have-namely the fact that he isn't a pile of dust-isn't a strong hope to his health. Where his skin is burned it looks like wood from a log-fire, cracked and ashen, splitting apart. He isn't opening his eyes.

...But at least he's there.]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

I would say that depends on the vampire, but I think we have our answer already.

We certainly can't take him into the hospital. You can only imagine how many questions that will raise. [She shakes her head, then glances over at Yuya.] Go check the entrances for a wheelchair you can, mm, borrow without too much attention?

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya peels himself away from the bushes, only reluctant for a second before he goes to do as he's told.

He coolness back shortly with a wheelbarrow. It clatters around as he runs with it, but it'll do.]
