Do Not Disturb (open)

[Kiku]

The office was dark and void of any window. The only light came from a small laptop that had survived. It sat on a small desk that was against the wall furthest from the heavy door, the only entrance into the room. There was another but the keeper of this dank, small room made sure to only have her and her leader know of it. She rarely let anyone close enough to even find out that.

There were few things that anyone knew about her, other than the fact that no one knows what she looks like, other than her leader and the victims that fall by her hand. She wasn't even sure if Lily ever got a clear enough view of her, since she always sat in the shadows or moved quickly to them when she came in without prior permission. Martha didn't like surprises and was rarely caught by such... Lily did not count.

Martha was sitting at her desk, watching the small screen and what was on it. On the screen was the layout of New Independence. It had camera views, small map that showed the main points of entrance and where security was at the most importance. All was green which meant that no one was trying to break in or that everything was in order. Martha liked that and smiled, leaning back and closing her eyes. She thought that a small nap would be fine, the sun was still out and no one really did anything until nighttime. Getting up from the desk, she made her way to the secret door and into the next room, making sure to have the wakie talkies were on, just in case the alarm was hit. Laying in the small cot in that room, she closed her red eyes and slowly drifted to sleep.

IguardP.M.
New Independence

Jack creeps along the cities outer wall unseen, and unheard. His figure an obscure outline in the darkness, leaving him invisible to the three guards standing at the gate. He smiles devilishly reaching over his head to pull the hood of his jacket on, before rushing forward. The claw like blades of his katar piercing the first guard’s sternum. "one." his smile gets bigger as he spins around the now dead body, his blades cutting threw the mans chest as he does. hedashess past the second man, cutting histhroatt while he and the thirdguardd fiddle around withtheirr rifles. "last one." Jack chuckles maniacally as he runs to the thirdguardd, pushing the gun out from in front of him before he can fire. his blades plunge into the bottom of the mans jaw, cutting straight threw to his brain.

Pulling the blades free the blonde demon laughs more as he licks the blade of his katar. His hands drop to his sides as he walks into the city. "this is going to be fun. I’ve never destroyed a city this big before." he walks deeper into the city vanishing into a bar filled with people. “now even when they figure out I broke in they wont know me from any of the other assholes.” he grins looking around at the number of people here, trying to act as "normal" possibleble.

[Kiku]

Little did he know, there was a panic button on the first man that fell, setting off an alarm that only was going off in the room right next to where Martha was sleeping. She could hear the faint sound of the alarm through the wall, wanting to ignore it. As soon as it started to get louder, she had no choice but to go investigate. Sitting up, she reached over in the dark and groped for her scythe, which was having on the wall just above her head. When her hand contacted with the handle of it, she grabbed it and lifted it off the wall hang she had found. She jumped from her bed then, slinging the scythe into her back holster and walked through the hidden door to look at her computer. There was now a large red circle at the western gate.

Cursing, she hoped that new guards have moved to cover that wall to defend against the infected. She messaged some to go there, just in case. A new message popped up on the screen them. A bar had reported about an odd looking person entering there and they were leery of him, asking for her or any help from the guards. She new that the guards would not be any good, since he seemed to have killed the three at the western gate pretty quickly. She really wished that Lily was there to take care of this guy, but she was off to escort some guy from Neo Tokyo here. She got up from the desk and went to the door, grabbing her cloak and made sure that her kunai were in the hidden pockets on the inside. Life's Song was hidden beneath the cloak after she put it on and she head out of her room, down the main hall that lead to her and Lily's rooms, and out the back door of the building, which turned out to be the old city hall surrounded by what used to be apartments and now were small businesses. She headed for the bar, which was about a thirty minute walk, ten minute run, or a two minutes car ride. She went with the run and started to sprint for the bar, making sure that the hood of her cloak covered her face and that no one could really see her skin, regretting that she wore shorts and a tank that night.

[Riujin]

Jack looks around at all of the people staring at him. moving silently into a darker part of the bar, were he can be completely invisable. he silently moves the chairs around and appears to sit down down although it is actualy only his hoody laying on a chair making it look like he is leaning back in it. The blonde "demon" walks unseen out the back door of the bar and steps into an ally for a second to make sure it was clear. "ok this is my exit if things go bad." he chuckles becore going back in and sitting down for real. putting his hoody back on. the door remains cracked for a quick exit.

He looks around the bar at all the civilians drinking. a vision of the dead bodies covering the floor and blood splattering the walls forms in his head. he looks around the building actually seeing flashes of his vision every now and then; a watress walks up to him with a nervous smile on her face. "can i get you something to drink." he looks up ar her an evil grinn forming on his face. "Hehehehehahahahaha" he starts cackling quietly to himself. his left hand covering his face for a split second, his eyes closed. the next second thw watress had three claws threw her voicebox keeping her from screaming in pain. " HEHEHEHEHAHAHA."

Jack dashs across the room past many people and stabs the bartender in the face. before turning to slaughter the rest of the civilians. dismembering most of them, and strewing there parts threwout the building. the rest were emptied on the floor and left there. at the end he walked back to his corner were he was invisable and sat down servaying his work. "it looks almost like that time with the raiders. "he cackles for a second before holding his head in his hands. his insanity shining threw. do you remember that mom." he begins to quietly rock back and forth talking to his dead mother.

[Kiku]

She was almost to the bar when her PDA went off, letting her know that the panic button of the bar went was going off. They really had no chance against this guy, whoever he or she was. She was a block away when things went spokey. She could feel in the air that there was a different atmosphere on the street. She slowed herself to a walk when she was closer still and caught the sent of iron think in the air. Blood had been shed.

She stopped before entering, not wanting to walk into an ambush and leaned against the wall right next to the door, not letting her shadow be seen under the door. She got out her PDA and turned the sound off before she started pushing buttons to hack into the camera that was inside the bar. She knew that there was only one and she got in within a few seconds. Through the small screen of her PDA, she could see all the pieces of bodies throughout the bar. She resisted the urge to look away and made the camera turn so she could look at every angle. She noticed a figure in a corner and zoomed in on the face. It looked to be talking to itself and she now knew that she was up against a man with a pair of katar on each hand. He also looked familiar, but figured that was because of there might be a bounty on his head and she has seen them before they go out into town for bounty hunters. She went back to count how many had died and came up with three employees, and five customers. She was amazed that this man had killed them all so quickly.

It was time to move in. She turned off her PDA and made her way to the back door, quietly and quickly so that he did not hear her. Before she got to the door, she notices that it was slightly ajar, figuring that he had prepared an escape just in case. She got out a white and black kunai then, ready to throw them just in case, her hood covering her face.

[Riujin]

Jack stood from his seat and walked to the door smiling. "time to have more fun." he opens the door laughing to himself as he walks out of the building; he stops and looks at the women on the other side. a slightly surprised look on his face. "hi there." his eyes widen slightly as she throws her knifes. instinctivly blocking one with his katars and ripping the other from his shoulder, before running up the wall a few steps kicking off and landing on the fire exit. he rushs up the stairs blood running down his arm.

he jumps from the rail of the fire escape and climbs onto the buildings roof and hides, pulling his gun out with a smile. "this wont be very fun, but i need to use my gun every now and then i supose." he laughs maniacly to himself his gun aimed at the fire escape. "maby she couldnt reach the ladder."

[Kiku]

She had started to move toward the door when he walked out. Her first instinct was to defend just in case he tried to attack. Her second being her throwing her kunai, Yin first, which he deflected off with his katar. Martha then threw her Yang and it embedded into his shoulder, which he dug out and threw to the side. She watched as he ran up the wall and into the fire escape before running after him and doing the same. She stopped at the level just before the roof when she took off her cloak to get out Life's Song. She balled up the cloak and tossed it to the side, getting out her PDA. There had been a small tracking devise at the end of both her kunai and it was now embedded in his shoulder, the only way for him to get it out being that he cut off his own arm and shoulder with his katar.

She turned it on and saw that he was running before he stopped. This got her thinking. He must be waiting to attack me, so I have to assume that he either has a gun or any other kind of projectile weapon on him that I did not notice. I have to be careful to not get myself killed here... Lily would not be pleased. She put away her PDA before retrieving her cloak again and draped it over Life's Song, the only thing that came to mind hat she should do, just in case he tried to take fire. She made he way up the final lever, raising her scythe just above her so that it seemed that it was coming up the stairs of the fire escape, waiting for him to attack. She fished around the cloak with one hand, grabbing a handful of kunai's to throw when he least expected it. As a distracting tool, she yelled out to him as she saw her scythe raise into his view. "What makes you think that you can escape me?", her barely used voice sounding loudly over the roof tops.

[Riujin]

Jack takes aim across the roof waiting for her to climb up. when she holds her cloak up gets ready to fire. stoping himself as his eyes adjust completely to the dark. "A decoy, she is smart." he smiles as he gets up and runs quietly across the roof. "how did she know i wasn't trying to escape." he jumps over the edge of the roof and does a flip, shooting his gun at her before landing on the opposite building. he takes off running for a few more buildings before jumping to the ground and finding shelter. "now i can find out if she is tracking me or somthing."

[Kiku]

At the sound of his foot steps running away, she cursed to herself. How did he know that it wasn't me in the cloak? He has to have a sharp eye. She lowers Life's Song and removes the cloak from it, dodging in time to not receive a bullet in her shoulder, it slightly grazing the tip of it. She bit her lip, to avoid making a sound as she put on her cloak and fished out her PDA, to see where he was going. She saw the dot on the screen moving quickly, just as she expected from him since he killed three guards, and eight civilians in such a short time frame.

She ran after him, jumping from roof top to roof top until she just decided to wait until he stopped before continuing to chase after him. She slowed herself, only running when she had to move from one roof to the next, keeping an eye on his movements with the PDA. Her kunai's had been replaced in their, glad that the two she had used were still able to be traced since she had another tracker in the handle of them. She did not like wasting her weapons. She notices that he is no longer on the rooftops when the dot on the screen was now on the streets and not on buildings. He had also moved into an old warehouse for shelter. She jumped on the roof of the warehouse and stopped.

She looked around for a place to enter, finding only that there was a fire escape to go down. Making her way to it, she made sure to be light on her feet and all the way down as well. She looked for the door and found it, heading that way. She held Life's Song as she did and called out after she stopped right in front of the door. "I don't care who you are or why you are here, but if you come with me, I will let you off easier than the leader of the city would. Come on out." She knew that there was a great risk in doing this, but had to try negotiating with him before getting too out of hand.

[Riujin]

Jack servays the facility in his free time, smiling when he hears her voice. "So why dont you tell me how you have been tracking me." he smiles standing in plain view, just feet from the entrance. "i have to assume its electronic, and that kunai is the only chance you had to tag me; so that leaves me one option to turn the device off." He cackles as he points his gun at his own chest. continueing into a psychotic laugh. he glips a switch on his gun and pulls the trigger, an EMP shooting into his body, destroying the device in him as well as the entire building system, and anything nearby.

He charges at his putting his gun away, before swinging his katars at her. throwing kicks inbetween slashs.

[Kiku]

She uses her scythe to deflect any attack he throws at her, amazed that he figured out that she had been tacking him. She wasn't that amazed, though, figuring that he had found out on his own when she was following him so closely. What shocked her the most was that he was able to use his gun, of all things, to deactivate all electronics around him. Her only hope was that it did not effect her PDA and the small tracking devices on her kunai's.

She jumped out of range, and pulled one of her Yin kunai's at him,giving him something else to dodge. She then spun as she started to go into the offensive against him. "You are right to assume that my kunai allowed me to embed a small tracking devise in your shoulder. I also take back what I said before. Why are you here and what do you hope to get from being here?" Small talk my not be the smartest of things for her to do, but she wanted to study all she could about him in this brief encounter, find weaknesses, and termination of him in the fastest way possible. She swung for his arms, trying to see if she could get within range of him without being sneered by his katar.

[Riujin]

"me, Im just here top have fun." he blocks her blade the best he can going to strike with his free hand. his first stike misses and he puts his foot on her scyth pushing off the ground to hit her grom above. he swings a few more times before moving farther away. He quick draws his gun firring a singe round at her before moving behind a pillar. "this is so fun." he smiles tio himselfs putting his gun away again, before jumping out of his cover and going after her again.

[Kiku]

She dodges the strike barely before he tries again, using her scythe to deflect the katar far from her. She then rolls across the ground, using the hand with the scythe to do so and not hurt herself in the proses. After she was on her feet again, she jumped out of the way of the bullets, all but one missing her. The single bullet that didn't miss was embedded in her calf, nearly missing her artery that was in there. One hand went to her leg and she looked up at him, glaring at him from beneath her hood.

I have no choice, then, but to go by a different tactic then a full frontal attack..

[/color] She unclipped her hooded cloak and used it to hide her moving figure that headed up a nearby stairway covered in shadow. Her, she used a cloth from her pocket to wrap around her wounded calf and set down her scythe to pull out two kunai, one in each hand. She then stayed in the shadows as she threw one kunai that was aimed at his leg, the other following suit for his shoulder. She had two more at hand before they were within ten feet of her target throwing these two his stomach and other leg.[/blockquote]
