[CLOSED] The Yellow Bleeding Heart!

[Elpharae]

(OOC: Wow. It just got real. Also, this would be my exit~)

Elpharae nodded at Kyo's words, getting up himself and offering no parting words. There was nothing to be said, anyways, so he merely activated his Stealth skill, then his Acrobatics skill, taking the steps two at a time. By the time he had opened the door to the roof, he heard some voices, something about housing a criminal. Cursing, the brunet hurried out, the cold wind brushing across his limbs, making him repress a shiver as he raced to the edge, thanking god that they had such old-fashioned buildings on the first floor, the roofs almost touching, separated by a foot or so of space that he could easily jump over if he utilized his Acrobatics skill.

When he reached the roof on the corner, he raced down the stairs, being as quiet as he could. His fingers combed through his hair, tying it up in a ponytail and switching into his armor, making himself look as askew as possible. Hopefully he would pass for a grinder who just got back. At any rate, he looked nothing (at least, not alike) to the more feminine male in a dress he represented earlier, and he kept his rapier by his side, not sheathing it. Would that be enough to deter future guards? Most likely. They had been in a rather dark alley, and so his name had been riddled with shadows, utterly incomprehensible, which he thanked all divine beings for. If they existed, that was.

Noting a guard, who didn't seem to see through his Stealth, thank god, (he had such good luck today. Maybe he should go gamble...) Elpharae walked right past him before continuing on with his journey, materializing much later on. His mind flickered to Kyo, and he hoped the other male was okay, but didn't dare to go and try to check. It was way too risky. The streets seemed more...guard-filled, but that might have been his paranoia. He turned his gaze around himself, trying to pick out anyone he might need to avoid, since he already met them. What was that one guard's name? He winced. The brunet had forgotten.

He held his breath as he walked by the square, which seemed utterly infested with guards, and let out a quiet sigh of relief as he passed by, biting his lip as he returned to the inner area of Tolbana, blending in with the late-night crowd and heading to a pub where he would fall in with people until he was positive he was safe. Elpharae smirked wryly, and sighed. There was just no telling what would happen when you tried to be nice, was there?

Kyo gave a farewell nod as Elpharae and himself had finished their plans to part ways. Just before they had left a noise could be heard from outside though. Quickly two guards had opened the door and Elpharae had vanished from sight. Without hesitation Kyo began rushing up the stairs only to notice the latch open on its own. Kyo gave a slight smile as he charged through as well, exiting into the open outside of the roof. "Seeya' man!" he let out, hoping Elpharae would hear as he charged full speed from the roof. Utilizing his acrobatics skills he was able to safely get to the ground by means of catching himself on a slightly lower building and then finally crashing to the ground. Something that outside the game would likely break ankles.  Kyo continued to run without looking back, but he had assumed guards would be able to keep up, his character was far too balanced and he wasn't quite high enough of a level to outright outrun the guards. All he had to do was make it outside the town limits though, they wouldn't dare chase him into the plains especially not at night. He hadn't any inkling of Rue's presence yet as he barreled down the town streets dodging any passerby. At this point he assumed it was still only the AI guard who were after him.

The search group sent a message that they were in pursuit of the suspect. Rue messaged them to keep up the chase while she ordered the other groups to close in on his position. The search group were still at Kyo's ankles as he ran from them. They would yell and command him to stop and give up. As he would run from the guards another group would be seen running in the direction he was going, and then another group to his side and one also following behind the group that was chasing him. Multiple messages popped up on Rue windows in her makeshift command post in the north end. The only empty direction for the man would be north were Rue was waiting. Rue wrote to all groups to push him up north, even with there numbers their lower levels might not be enough to deal with him depending on his level. The hole event felt like a fragmented puzzle with most of the pieces missing. Rue wanted to at least hear him out before condemning the man, she knows how it feels to be treated like a common criminal and wanted the hole story before locking him away. The guards put their all into it trying to catch the man as they tried to corner him, but they could not surround him which always gave him a way out. Yelling and panting they barked at him saying that this was his last chance to stop or they would use lethal force. This was a non threating threat since they did not have the means to catch the man.

Kyo had continued to retreat. As he pressed on nearing the edge of town he noticed a group coming from the other side of him. This felt way too coordinated... Guards were never this tentative to other players he noticed before. Quickly he began to turn off to his left just to notice yet another group on that side. He turned around and ran again. He didn't want to end up in any confrontation with the guards, but it may come down to it in the end. He began heading what was nearly due north, though again nearing an edge of the town. He was ready to make his escape, he just needed to find the right window. He began approaching what appeared to be a girl ahead of him in the road, there simply wasn't anywhere else to run though, he would have to bring the stampede of guards right through her if needbe.

Rue could see a outline of a man as the message windows filled with posts of him running in the direction of Rue. The man would make it out of the town and Rue would message the guards to not leave town and search for the red eyed girl. Kyo would see the guards stopping and a bits on panting and laughing as the man unknowingly ran towards a much more dangerous unofficial member of the justice system. Rue would see the man as he grew closes. his blue eyes seemed to be focused on her as she put her sword on her hilt." Your the one whose the supposed assaulter? You don't have the look of a killer". Rue voice was calm, but forceful, her expression blank and her eyes lustreless with a look that would tell the man that she would take no issue in cutting him down if he continued to move closer. If the man did not stop she would draw her blade and point it at him. Rue moved into a more offensive stance with her left foot forward and her right foot back. Her blade drawn and point downward in front of her left leg. Her shield cocked and at the ready and her knees bent and standing on the balls of her feet. " I was asked to, assist in capturing you. However I made the guards lead you here for we can talk. The story I was giving is barely a story, I would like your side before I act on anyone's behalf. If you have nothing to say then I will take it as a admission of guilt and if you and act accordingly. Weather you want death, freedom or imprisonment is up to you".

Kyo had seen Rue, easily understanding he was being corralled to this point. He gripped his as he locked his heels in the dirt road to stop. His stare on rue was with confidence. He felt rather superior to most players at this point especially in a duel. The versatility in his characters build genuinely felt optimal for one on one player duels. The woman offered him choices. Choices that changed the scenario entirely. His grip loosened slightly and his overall stance let up from its serious combat appearance. "Hmm..." he paused for a moment. Looking up to see Rues cursor was also yellow. "I have killed before. If that answers the question justly, I really dont know. Im not red though... so it should sum that up I believe." He gave a light nod. "I was defending another player. A player the AI of this game neglected to help. Instead of defending him from the real problem they all just recklessly chased me. For all I know my aid was in vain as the kids probably dead anyway." His thoughts turned to the boy who was still left with the thug who had lost his hand. Only having one would certainly help the boy if he needed to defend himself, but he didn't really seem like the type who would even try. Kyo's gaze locked on Rue. "Your a yellow too anyway. You know how it goes, especially seeing as you're standing here so galiantly with that cursor over your head. " His tone very much so serious but now offering to talk rather than fight he hoped to resolve all of it without combat, perhaps not though after pointing out rue was in the same boat as himself.

Rue kept her focus on the man as stopped and looked at her, with a confident look. Rue expression did not waver at the man's confidence, if it came to a fight she would use it against him. Even if the man let up from his combat stance Rue would not give him the same treatment. Her blade followed her left leg as it moved back and switched with her right, her shield arm hung slightly down on a angle, but the look of a relaxed guard was a feint as she was ready to parry a incoming attack. As she waited for the man to answer with a look of disinterest, almost as she was looking through him. He began to talk about how he has killed before, and how he was not red and that he was defending another player. Saying that his "help" was in vain as the kid might be already dead, Rue would have to ask about the boy and make sure to check on him after this has been dealt with. His last comment made Rue listen a bit more intensely at the man. he seemed to be more serious now as Rue would response calmly. " Gallantly you say. Never thought myself to be much of a gallant person. Now that fact that your not red proves nothing you could of been orange and just laid low until your morality dropped to yellow. We maybe yellow, but your currently the one being pursued if your going to exonerate yourself try to be a bit more detailed. Without the attempt at a threat tell me the who what where when and why. For we don't stand here all night calling each other gallant knight and wanted criminal, You can call me Rue". Rue kept her feint up. He seemed to wish to talk this out which means he's not a violent person and would not attack at random for personal enjoyment. Rue doubted him being a murder like the guards pinned him to be, but he said he has killed.

*more mobile posting, this is turning into quite the interesting verbal battle lol

Kyo made a little nod. A smirk came across his face. "Rue? Its a small world isn't it? A boy I met was just talking about you a few minutes ago. Unfortunately I really dont have the time to chit chat about this all day. Your either going to have to let me pass, or I'm going to have to get past you." His expression and grin turning into a serious expression.

"I have no intent to be stopped here and judging by your appearance..." He stopped his speech to glance at her shield "you won't be able to keep up with me if I dart on past you. I really suggest you go check on that boy rather than having the same poor prioritization that these AI guards do." His grip returned on his pomel and relaxed stance now faded into his battle stance again. He made sure to comment that he was going run rather than fight trying not to give off any kind of criminal persona but making it apparent that he was in a rush.

Rue raised her sword upward and at the ready as the negotiation seem to no longer an option. His words meant nothing now that he has made his choice. Rue looks focused on the man her look was blank, and showed no sighs of remorse of mercy. Rue stood at the ready and waited for the man to come his. choices have labelled him as guilty, and all of the pain and suffering he would feel would be self inflicted. A window open and wrote down some orders for some guards to come and pick up the man. The window wrote itself then disappeared. The man did not seem to want to fight, but his overconfidence in his ability and his unwillingness to fight would only hinder him, and not the small girl. " If you can get past me before I incapacitate or kill you, or the guards come. You'll win your freedom but lose your innocents". How words were cold and unfelling. Whether he lives or dies does not matter to Rue as he is guilty and even if he is innocent, his words and action prove otherwise. He's a killer, and that's all that matters.

His who concept of a hero was broken. He was... unorthodox. How could one so passionately fight for others whilst being so against authoritive figures. "Ya know... your pal' Elpharae wasn't so stuck up like you are." He broken again from his seriousness back to a grin. "To be so blinded by your code that makes no sense to begin with. While there is a murder on the loose, evident as hell to see, you choose to waste your time here." he scoffed. "Hell.. your not even as bad as them, your worse. Worse than the AI who have no real way of knowing truth. That blindness won't carry your through this." his blade released from its sheath. "Ya know' if I have to cut ya up a little bit it won't hinder me at all. After all, your yellow too. I could call you our on whatever got you there. You certainly don't look like a thief, and your self righteous persona doesn't scream murderer. So... I assume we really are more alike than I'd like to admit."  The front of his foot dug into the ground. "Just don't get yourself killed, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if that was the case." He looked to the structures on both sides. He could probably climb with his acrobatics skill if the time comes to it. She didn't appear like someone who would take such a trivial skill. He didn't want to though. Something in him wanted to teach her a lesson. He knew from reading beta testers guides what the guards themselves were capable of and he knew he could get past them for sure if he got past her. He blinked for a moment before sheathing his blade again. "Wait... Wow..." he begun bursting into laughter. Soon a tear drew to his eyes from his hysterics. "What are we even doing? Call your guards your meaningless here." Kyo pulled up a prompt in the menus, sending Rue a duel request, but quickly pressing the cancel button before she could react. "Im not red. Were in town. You cant touch me princess." He proceeded to begin climbing the side of a house still laughing a bit at the poorly executed joke. How the both forgot so easily that this wasn't real life. You can't attack people where you so choose. The NPC's could but players are a whole different story.

The man seemed to change his tone and personality and mentioned who had told him about her. Elpharae, that was a name she would of not expected to talk of her considering how she acted towards him. "You talk a lot for someone whose in a hurry" Rue watched him as he dug his foot into the group and commented on her not dying. It still seems like he's just going to keep talking, small dogs are know to be big talkers. Watching him as he looked to each sides it seem he might be planning his escape. He sheathed his blade and started talking again. The man would burst into laughter. He would talk about how calling the guards was meaningless, then sent a duel request only to take it down. Rue waited to see if he was going to try and, show her how he was going to cut her up. "We'll see won't we". Rue answered back at the man's comment about him being untouchable. As he moved to climb the building Rue moved in. Moving near the man she kept her shield up and swung her sword at the man's hand that was getting ready for him to climb. She wanted to give him some poetic justice.

Kyo continued to climb as Rue would swing. The 'Immortal Object' prompt would appear after trying to attack a player within the town who was not convicted of murder. Kyo would finish pulling his body up to the top of the building. "Sorry- I would like to try your hand in a fight one day. Just not under these circumstances. I'd much rather a fight in effort to test strengths, not one to try an imprison an innocent man out of ignorance." he nodded his head, tipping a 'make believe hat' as he moved to the backside of the building dropping off in his great escape. (Not sure how you want to play this one off or if you plan on continuing?)

A purple light would stop her blade as it parted the air ready to handicap the cocky man. Rue would sigh as she brought her weapon back and sheathed it as the man climb up and looked down from the building. He would apologize and say that he would like to fight, but not when he was a wanted man. " It's your ignorance that made our current outcome. Before you go tell me where you last saw the boy who might be dead or alive". Rue looked at the man burning his appearance into her mind as she spoke calmly. Tipping his metaphysical hat he would drop off from the backside of the building. Rue could chase him, but she knew nothing about the man, besides his appearance. The small tank had a lead though Elpharae. Was she here or did they meet at a different time. The man with the dragon tattoo and her would defiantly meet again, but next time he will not escape. The guards would arrive. Rue would tell them that he escaped over the building and dropped down. The guards would give chase as Rue made her way to the last know whereabouts of the boy that was the catalyst in the entire last night event. Not brothering to pursue the man, she could do nothing while he was in town. Walking along the dirt road she would look for any sigh of a fight or where a player had recently been. It was to dark to see clearly as the evening had turned to midnight. The lack of real world clues afforded the girl, no information on what the fate of the boy could of been. Without much information the small girl would call it a night and put a post on the notice board for a missing person and give the best description of the boy as best she could. If he's dead then so be it.
