Solitude is not Loneliness

[Karasu]

Kryo walked through the streets of Olivine as he would on a typical day, pessimistic and fearless. He knew that he wouldn't face trouble from the locals, given his strength and the reputation of Lucem Ferre throughout the city. The red collar helped in warding off danger; virtually every Morph in the city had one and CODA's blue was almost nowhere to be found. He had no real purpose or intention yet, since he never got any sort of instruction from the collar since he left Blackthorn.

Kryo wasn't paying attention and walked right into the tail of a Furret-morph. It turned around, ready to attack, until he saw Kryo's red collar. It calmed down, not wanting to start a fight and arouse Lucem Ferre's attention. The Furret continued minding its business while Kryo walked away mumbling.

Kryo heard some kind of commotion off in the distance. Considering Olivine's status and the nature of its inhabitants, chaos was an almost-daily occurrence. Nevertheless, he dashed across the city to investigate.

[Umbreon[The*Werewolf]]

Raven was sitting with her back against a wall. She was just about to take a nap when Kyro, the Sneasel morph, dashed past her. Raven rolled her eyes and got up, shaking the dust from her fur and clothes. She got down on all fours and ran after Kyro. Her red collar clinked slightly against her body as she caught up to the Sneasel. "Where are you going?" She asked with a smirk. Her two canine teeth gleamed in the sunlight as she laughed. "Are you hungry and looking for a pitiful human snack?" She guessed, an evil grin sneaking it's way up her face.

[Karasu]

((I really need to not forget about this place...sorry for keeping you waiting x.x))

Kryo heard someone following him. He turned around and sure enough, there was an Umbreon-morph behind him. "What was that? Sorry, I just ate. But thanks for the offer."

Kryo then noticed her evil grin. He pondered for a minute what she could be thinking, and gave her a cold glare. He could feel the air around him slowly dropping in temperature, hoping it would scare her off.

((Btw, it's Kryo, the Greek word for ice, not Kyro X3))

[WOLFIE]

Mere, the little quilava morph growled. "Did it just get colder here?" She burred, and narrowed her eyes as she came upon Kryo and Raven. She trotted over to them, "Hey guys, what'r ya'll doing here?" she asked in a suspicious tone. The air around her was cooling her, but the heat glands inside her nerves kept her warm and toasty. Mere glanced at Raven's grin and raised an eyebrow.

[Karasu]

Kryo noticed a Quilava coming over to join them. Great, another one, he thought. He looked her over for a minute, analyzing every aspect about her. She seemed unusually cheery for someone trying to appear angry, but Kryo didn't care. He just wanted to be left alone. Without saying a word, he chilled the air almost to freezing and dashed off to where he was originally heading.

[WOLFIE]

"Hey! Where are you going?!" Mere ran after him. The chill in the air was cold, but her fire kept her warm, yet she noticed it was getting less warm for her. Any cooler, she would feel it. Mere growled, this was a Sneasel morph. There was no way she was going to catch up to it... but she had to try. Her collar rattled against her neck as she ran after him.

[Karasu]

Kryo, taking the opportunity to toy with the unsuspecting Quilava, checked to make sure she didn't see him, smirked, and dashed into an alley. He readied a small burst of cold air, waiting for her to pass. An ambush, he thought, is always the best way to catch prey.

[Umbreon[The*Werewolf]]

Raven smiled and jumped to the roof of a building. She pounced between cracks and caught up to alley where Kryo was hiding. Fluffing out her fur to keep warm, she jumped downward, and landed on Kryo. "Ambush." She giggled into his ear, before getting off him. She still kept her fur fluffed, making her look like a giant black marshmallow. A giant black marshmallow that could kill you in three seconds flat. She readied a Dark Pulse attack, just in case.

((Crap post. -shot for crap post-))

[Karasu]

((Don't worry about it - you just won 5 awesome points. XD))

Kryo, of course, didn't expect any of it. He whirled around and faintly saw the Umbreon in the darkness near the back of the alley. He flashed a brief smile and, forgetting about the Quilava for a few seconds, said, "You. I like you. You've got your priorities straight - stealth, cleverness, arrogance...You'll be quite a virus to CODA."

Kryo turned his back to her, facing the alley's entrance again. He reflected back on what his collar told him. I remember them saying something about traveling in groups, he thought. I work alone, but maybe for now I'll make an exception for her.

[Spotty]

Following her small group of three through the streets of Olivine, Maria darted looks on either side of her, not trusting of the whole city itself, as it was a city bathed in red. Red collars, that is. Something caught her eye. No, it wasn't her group leader gusting an unsuspecting beedrill morph, it was a Quilava morph. And there was two Dark type morphs with it. All three had red collars, no surprise there, and the two dark types seemed to be toying with it, still no surprise. Maria looked over at her group leader, who was still busy causing a distraction with the beedrill morph, and slipped off to get a better look at the trio. Getting closer, and hopefully not showing herself to the trio, she notice one of the Dark morphs, a Sneasel, preparing to jump the Quilava. The other one, an Umbreon morph, seemed to surprise the Sneasel morph, which added some amusement to Maria's point of view.

What could Lucem Ferre be doing with their morphs, letting them attack each other? Maybe it's a training exercise, I bet they'd never expect CODA to come in. And it's freezing here. I thought this city was supposed to be warm this time of year. Maria thought. She continued to walk around the area like she wasn't watching, but keeping an eye on her group and the trio. Her blue collar didn't help much though, as it beamed brightly from under her Arcanine like face.


[HEY HEY KARASU. MARIA IS BORED. :D]

[Umbreon[The*Werewolf]]

((Sorry for the MASSIVE lateness! *slapped and shot*))

Raven grinned, then snarled. "Blue collar. Sixty steps down the right of the alley. Judging from the scent it knows where here. Female Arcanine. Get down!" She urged Kryo to get out of sight, before diving into the shadows, becoming almost invisible. She was known among the labs for prefering stealthy, sucker-punch attacks rather than in-yo-face attacks. She had already made up a short simple plan to get the blue-collar out of the equation. "GET DOWN!" She growled at Kryo. "She'll attack if we don't get the hell out of sight!"

[Karasu]

Kryo reluctantly complied, withdrawing further into the back of the alley. She'll pay for barking at me like that, he thought, but that's later. We've got business to take care of.

However, he defied her plan. Taking advantage of his Sneaselic stealth, he silently dashed around the back of the building, leaving a bit of cold air in his wake to fool the Umbreon into thinking he was still there.

He took a roundabout route to the other side of the Arcanine, jumping across several garbage cans and awnings a few streets over. From his position on a nearby rooftop, Kryo was able to stay hidden from the both of them. He watched the Umbreon ready her attack, and smirked as he prepared to thwart it. Bold despite the Arcanine's obvious type advantage, Kryo fired an Ice Beam toward her, and then jumped in and launched a Shadow Ball before landing right behind her.

[Umbreon[The*Werewolf]]

Raven, however, was not fooled. When she peeked out to check for Kryo, the idiot was already gone. 'great. Now I have to help him." She growled to herself. Getting down on all fours she ran out. So much for stealth... She spotted the Arcanine. Quite impossing, but Raven didn't care. She threw a combination of Dark Pulse and Confuse Ray, which she dod by using one almost directly after the other. She dived into an alley and held still, turning invisible in the shadows. She swished her tail out of the light and waited.

[Karasu]

((lol, you're weird. XD

But now I guess we'll have to wait for Spotty? XP))

[Spotty]

Maria growled slightly, using Flamethrower to deflect the Ice Beam, and quickly moved out of the way, seemingly using agility, down on all fours. She was hit by the Shadow Ball when she was turning to face the Sneasel. Growling, she used Heat Wave, attempting to hit both the Umbreon and Sneasel morphs.

((Hee, I kinda forgot after dinner, events have kept me from actually getting on as well. So yeah.))
