"If you say so." While Xross still had plenty of reasons to doubt and not like Dimitri, there were other matters that he needed to attend to right now. He could mess with Dimitri more next time he ran into him. That gave him more time to thank and quite possibly dig up more dirt to use against him. The whole 'Cruddy Brother' thing wouldn't last forever and he would need a plan b for when it did end. Of course that wouldn't be the sole thing that he thought about, in fact that would likely be a side thing. Xross may have been an ass, but he wasn't so much of an ass that his sole purpose was to torment one person. You'd have to get on his shit list for that and those who ended up there were verbally abused. Speaking of his shit list, there was something else that he needed to do now. Matthews was not particularly happy with the events that had just happened. Not only had he lost one of his targets, sure one was still there but odds were against him in trying to attack her, but now he had to deal with the one person that he didn't want to see at all. Yep, Xross had that reputation with some people, namely ones who he could easily beat. So yeah, things weren't looking all that good for Matthews. With the weird shadow things now gone Valken didn't really have much idea on what to do next. He'd pretty much just joined in on the fight without knowing what was going on, though he could probably assume that that was the case for most of the other people there. Well except the guy who'd just sat around watching everything unfold, but he wasn't here right now. He was actually considering walking off when he over heard something about studying one of those things. The studying part wasn't what caught his attention, but the injury part did. "One of those things did that?" Valken asked, moving a bit closer to the now forming group.
Making his way up the red carpeted stairs, he noticed that he was now standing in front of a hallways with a bunch of doors. The butler could've been hiding in any of of those rooms. Didn't help that fact that he was the only one up here still. "Guess there's only one thing to do." He took a second to crack his knuckles before walking up to the first door. He then lifted up his foot and with as much force as he could bring that wouldn't knock the door off of it's hinges and kicked the door in. Instead of apologizing for intruding on whoever may have been in the room, assuming that that was the case, he briefly looked in before moving to the next one. He then did the same thing he did to the next door and the next one and so on. Good thing they weren't trying to be stealthy at all or maybe they were and Veilen completely missed that. Oh well, to late now. After kicking open the last door, Veilen noticed the three windows in the room. Each one had a shutter in questionable condition. "Guess, we'l just have to pick one at random. Eh Mika-wait when did you get in here?" His red eyes had just noticed that the S-Class mage had been in the room before he had gotten there. While it was likely that she might have snuck past him while he was kicking doors in, but Veilen wasn't that oblivious to being moving past him. Most of the time anyway. Moving on to the window dilemma, Veilen approached broken shutter first and opened that one. Seems sensible that it could've been broken on purpose and not due to sheer negligence.
As Veilen proceeded down the hallway, he looked over his shoulder and saw that so far he was the only person going this way. Considering he'd just barely heard Mikasa splitting them up into groups, he'd thought that he'd see someone by now. Unless of course he was already that far ahead of them. It certainly was possible assuming that they hadn't moved at all since he'd left. Veilen came to a stop as he approached the two stairs. Hmm, stairs with red carpet or wooden stairs leading down into darkness. Which one to pick? The red carpet possible meant that there was some sort of important room up stairs while the wooden stairs, those could mean anything ranging from good to bad. After thinking it over, he decided to go up the red carpet stairs. "If that's the case, then maybe we should inspect this Ouji board for ourselves." Zwei suggested. With the Ouji board being the likely reason behind this, what they needed now was a plan on how to approach the current situation. For what he could think of, there were only a few good suggestions that they could do. Breaking the Ouiji board might not end well nor would playing it. In fact using the Ouiji board as intended could just make things worse, but out of the two hat was the best thing that he could come up with.
Damion had made a few preparations before setting off. He needed to make sure that he took with him some equipment that was suited for where ever the bandits should strike. He had about two traps that would work and fortunately didn't need to be set up prior to any encounter so he made sure to take those with him. Damion also checked to see if he still had his dagger on hand, you never know when things might get a little hairy. His hand firmly gripped the handle of his blade. He held the handle for a few seconds before releasing his grip. That was pretty much everything that he could think to take with his, so he then hid the two trinkets on his person and started off towards his destination. Despite the mass of people that he would be walking past, none of them should recognize him as a result of any past encounters, but just in case he used the tattered cloak on his back to help simulate the look of someone who was just passing though. His eyes didn't move towards a single person, they remained focused on what was in front of him. While to him he may have been making a decent amount of progression terms of how fast he was walking to Southern Holmfirth, he would likely still have to wait for the bandits to make their move and who knows how long that might take.
What if I pick all of the ways to go
Are there any traps, cause Veilen would definitely trigger some of them
In an effort to kill time as well as keep himself preoccupied while he waited around, Zephyr had started to tap on the wall that he was leaning on. At first it was nothing more than simple times with the palm of his right hand. That soon became alterations of him switching between his knuckles and his palm all on the same hand. A few moments of this had passed and Zephyr had added his left hand into the mix. What started out as a simple beat had turned into a full blown rhythm that was only loud enough for him and anyone who happened to be close enough to him to hear. It wasn't like was doing this to attract attention or anything. His rhythmic beating soon came to a halt when he noticed that Zavion had made a make shift bridge of darkness that made crossing the gap easier for them. "You sure that there isn't another way to do this?" Zephyr questioned as he approached the bridge. It wasn't like he had a problem in traveling this way nor did he have a problem with darkness. Zephyr is someone who, depending on the circumstances, would prefer to take an easier way if there was one possible. So while he had no idea on whether or not an easier way was possible, it wouldn't hurt to ask.
After the spirit had been defeated in the holy flame, otherwise known as a simple fire spell, Veilen went to regroup with the others. It seemed to be that while they were dealing with the spirits that the butler had run off somewhere. If it was out of fear than that was one thing, but wouldn't hiding behind a door or someone be a bit better than running off into who knows where. If a door can easily take out a S-Class mage than maybe it would work for keeping one or two spirits back while they dealt with them. With Thomas, Gaius and Ra running off in search that left him the last person to go off in search. Really there were plenty of other people who had yet to run off in search, but he was way more focus on himself right now and thus he ran into the house in search of the missing butler. Much like Dale, Zwei wanted to go ahead and start searching for the spirit in question. Given how it had gone this long without directly possessing someone, according to Kiyomi there was some other scares but nothing along the lines of possession. If the Ouija board was what started all this, then maybe it could be used to lure the ghost/spirit thing out. Though nothing good comes from using one of those at all, like this job has proven fairly well. While he was in thought, he couldn't help but to over here the breast off (yes, that's what I'm calling it) going on behind him. He didn't turn around to look right away, though that could and probably would change easily should Scarlet go along with it. It would be a lie for him to say that he didn't notice how big her rack was, it was perfect for fairy tail standards. That's why he never says it. Thinks it is an entirely different and not often done matter though. Spoiler: Situation fitting image is go
Spoiler: Ciao Look like you all were
You don't have to like it, doesn't change how you all waited til the last day to do all your vote changing. Considering how I looked through the thread, there we out her chances for someone to speak out about what they think.
Gotta love the deadline sudden vote changes
After looking through the thread I once again found very little that stuck out as suspicious (shocking). The only thing that came even close to being suspicious was when Judge mentioned Spike's alibi. While I was going to call him out of that, the fact that I don't know how sick he is which may or may not justify his one post would be risky to much. Not to mention that given my current situation because of nothing sticking out to me, unessisary risks wouldn't benefit me. Also my iPod batteries my die soon as my latop batteries are out of power.
Yep, I'm still on Spike. But since being stubborn will likely gain as much progress as near deadline vote changes, I'll give some it some thought and see who else to vote for. Hopefully before my laptop dies.
That may be what you see, but all I see is people going back and forth, even more so now cause the deadline is near and people now are decided to change vote, the fact that its the first day is mentioned a few times as well as the primary reason for Spike getting his vote was due to his silence are not reason to think someone is mafia.
Because there is nothing to look into, that is why.
There's a different between disinterest and lack of evidence to make any solid reasoning, something you guys fail to understand. Instead of spouting random and untrue things this early on which would likely backfire on me, I'm being quiet until something that sticks out to me pops out, which aside from the overall wishy washy ness of voting for Spike there's nothing. All you guys are doing is basically waiting til the deadline to that questioning vote and since I have little plans on changing my votes, why should I follow along with the ones that are.
And I have none of those at the moment, of course i also haven't put all that much effort to come up with anytime
What more do you want from me. There really isn't all that much to go off on soon checking in is pretty much all I can do at this point.
##Vote: Spike Might as well since I can't think of anyone else to vote
Was not aware that this had officially begun, guess I'll go read up on what i missed.[DOUBLEPOST=1416169786][/DOUBLEPOST] I see how it is Al[DOUBLEPOST=1416170040][/DOUBLEPOST] Gee thanks, two votes all because khv failed to notify me
