Knocking on Death's Door

[Lilith]

lilith stared at Sai's arm, she sniffed the air to see if she could smell his blood and to her surprise she couldn't, it might have been Sai, a persons blood tasted different depending on that persons demeanour and as she knew Sai wasn't really the emotion type.

she brought her mouth down to Sai's arm and slowly dug her fangs into the vein and as she did a short sharp pain went up her meals arm, Sai unexpectedly had rather filling blood, it wasn't tasty but it wasn't unappealing, the vampire figured it was because he wasn't all that emotional but he was still a person that cared about those around him.
after she had her fill she pulled her fangs out and licked the excess blood surrounding the wound.
she stood back up and smiled.

"thank you Sai... I cant say much else"

[Gabranth]

Gabranth listening to what Sai had said, turned his head to the chants from behind the Colosseum doors."HER~CU~LES!! HER~CU~LES!!", in an almost panic state he quickly looks to Ximar. Anxiously, "I must get in the Colosseum, I need to speak with that man Hercules. He could be of help to me."

Looking back at Sai, "I appreciate the information, but I must enter these games via my deal. If I am correct in my assumption, that girl in green is there at this very moment." Having a bit of faith in Sai, sharing his information, and by the way he takes care of his colleagues, asks a favor. "I ask you to protect Ximar in my place, till he regains strength. I have business deal I must take care of inside." He would glance over to Lexia and Lilith, "I bid you fair travels as well, apologies for such an abrupt introduction."

Latching his helmet, an eerie ominous feeling would start to exude from the judge. He took his polearm and split Chaos and Highway Star apart, ready to turn towards the gates.

[Sai]

Sai reclaimed his arm once Lilith was completed. Two pints... roughly the same amount one would give in two trips to the blood bank, not nearly enough to do damage. He pulled from his pockets a length of linen and wrapped his arm, to allow it to heal. He was so medical about the ordeal some might confuse him for a doctor.

He looked then to Gabranth and nodded. "That's fine..." he muttered, then turned his attention to Ximar. "In the meantime... do you recall any information regarding the notes you saw? A watermark? A stamp? Any indication as to where it might have come from?"

[basically, I'm giving you choice on where to visit next]

[ximar]

Ximar looked at Gabranth and smiled. "That's alright. You've done a lot for me already. I'm feeling a lot better now. Thank you for your protection. Oh! And don't try to fight Hercules! He's the Son of Zeus and has unrivaled strength in this world!"

In the meantime... do you recall any information regarding the notes you saw? A watermark? A stamp? Any indication as to where it might have come from?

He turned and listened to Sai's question. He took a moment to think about what he saw. "Hmmmmm......Sorry, I don't remember. I'm surprised I remember so much about what I read already, but it would take a miracle for me to remember that much. I truly am sorry."

[Leckseeuh]

Lexia's ears nearly perked up, her head along with them. She looked around slowly, spotting a Dusk, just swaying by itself. She ignored it and looked at Sai, who's bare arm was held out, Lilith's teeth sunk into them. She wrapped her arm around his, holding onto it and cringing at the sight. And even once she was finished she still held on, looking at him. "Did it not hurt at all?" But when he said nothing to her but to Ximar, she looked at Ximar and his expressions, just studying him to make sure he wasn't out to kill everyone.

[Sai]

Sai closed his eyes a moment, absorbing the message. They were up the creek once more with a destination, but that didn't mean he wasn't without a plan. He just needed to get it clear in his mind first. He looked to Lexia as he finished wrapping his arm. "Yes, it did. However, I've studied vampyrism, and frankly weighing my pain vs Lilith's, the comparison is so one-sided I've no right to complain."

He sounded so clinical, but that was Sai for you. He looked to Lilith, nodding. "I trust that will be sufficient for a while at least?" He dropped his arms to the side, as if nothing had happened. "We're lacking in clues as to where to go next..." He reached into a pocket and pulled out a hologram projector of a map of the known worlds. He tapped Destiny Islands and the Underworld to add them to the red worlds that were already explored (a short list at that, and nearly every world could be re-explored).

"Our options are as follows: We stay here and attempt to obtain Notes #4 in order to look for clues on it, or we pick a new destination and search there." He then looked to Ximar, nodding. "You will have to come with us, as Gabranth has put you in my charge... and with the Organization gone, I think we Nobodies are better served to stick together... I can elaborate more on why this search is crucial for our futures as well..."

Sai fell silent to hear his parties ideas on the matter.

[ximar]

Ximar noticed Lexia looking at him, but didn't pay any mind to her. He listened to Sai's plans and thought about them. "Well, the Underworld is a vast place and it would take a long time to find the notes again in the exact same place, but I may be able to help find them. As for the other plan, I myself have been to a few worlds looking for other Nobodies such as yourselves. I'm willing to go either way. It's not like I have anywhere else to go. I'll help out as best as I can. Hope we can all be friends." He smiled kindly at them. He wondered if he should tell them about his half of a heart. He decided to tell Sai latter, since the other's didn't quite trust him yet.

[Lilith]

Lilith turned to Lexia, she hadn't talked to her since she got the the catacombs.

"you okay kid, what's up"

Lilith bent down so she was at eye level with the girl, she tried to cheer up the usually cheery nobody.

[Gabranth]

Gabranth turned to the doors of the Colosseum. He would then glance around to Sai. "If it's the notes you want, maybe this Hercules inside would have the information your searching for."

Gabranth then begins to walk toward the Colosseum doors. "My fight isn't with Hercules, Ximar. He's my key in breaking my chains to Hades ..." With that, he approaches the doors.

[Leckseeuh]

Lexia scoffed a bit in mind at Sai, at how he acted like he was, a nobody. But she didn't care and slipped out from holding him. She looked at Lilith, walked next to her and just now noticed how tall she was. At least 8 inches of difference, she was incredibly tall for a woman. She forgot about that and smiled at her, chuckling a bit. "Ah, I've just been worrying a lot. About my sister. But I think she's fine, she's tough."

Lexia then overheard Ximar speaking, about how they could be friends. She looked at him and giggled aloud, cheery again. "You think so?" She smiled at him warmly to tell him he was already a friend even though they hadn't had proper greetings.

[ximar]

Ximar nodded at Gabranth. "Go do what you need to. I'll be cheering for you!" He smiled at him, hopping to see his friend again someday.

You think so?

He turned to face the small girl. When he saw her smiling warmly at him, he returned the smile. "I really do, little one."

[Sai]

Sai thought on this a bit. It was possible that Hercules might know something. After all, who else has been to the underworld more times than this particular demigod? He rubbed his chin under the scarf as he thought on it. He overheard Ximar's... optimism, coupled with Lexia's own. He looked to the two of them with this on his mind...

"Friends..." he muttered quietly to himself, then looked off once more, looking more inward than out. He questioned if their kind COULD have friends. One who holds others dear to their heart calls them friends... but what about them? Is the memory of a heart enough? That thought hung on his mind as he started to follow Gabranth.

"We may as well check the colosseum before leaving. It is right there, after all..."
***moving to Let the games begin***

[Lilith]

Lilith became curious.

"could you tell me about you sister, please?"

Lilith looked down at the girl, she could see her a lot better now that it was dark, her attire seemed strange for a nobody and she could see the scar on her cheek, the empty air allowed Lilith to smell everything, even the aged blood on Lexia's ribbon...
good thing the vampire was full.

[Leckseeuh]

Lexia looked at Sai leave, sitting down. "I guess I'll catch up in a minute, mmk?" She yelled enough for him to hear, looking back at Lilith. She patted the ground next to her softly for her so sit down. Lexia sat Indian-style, her arms relaxed on her knees.

"Well, her name's Miiaxra. She looks a lot like you. Black hair, red tinge on the ends. Red eyes, pale skin, and she always wears long skirts or pants. She hates light too, she could be fooled to be a vampire but I know she isn't. She and my brother raised me like a mother when my mom passed and my dad wasn't there. I didn't know my parents, but she did." She sighed in nostalgia and relaxed even more, feeling comfortable around Lilith because she was full and a friend. "She liked reading. She used to study the worlds, and she always said she wanted to visit here, and the World That Never Was. And she liked reading about hearts. Hearts hearts hearts, all she ever though of." Lexia sighed again, this time sad yet still nostalgic. "And then she left..." She sniffed a bit. "...and then I left. I don't remember anything between then and the time I woke up.

[Lilith]

Lilith sat next to the girl and listed carefully to her story, as Lexia finished her story Lilith put a hand on her shoulder.

"ill help you find her..."
