I Frakking might have but it can wait until we completely Frakk up the rest of the intruders. she beautiful woman turn toward the new comer.
Well heya there. I am Sophia
Lang faces Sphia and bows. I am honored to meet you
"Strange places, strange people..."
Takeshi walks around the corner, and shakes his head.
"I see you have met our big friend already, and the two most beautiful ladies you have ever met. You shouldn't fear them though, even a blind man can see they have no interest in your man. I mean really, who could stand up to you?" he says fluently.
At the beginning of the sentence, he seemed to be adressing the man, but near the middle he clearly wasn't any more. He bows down and gets on one knee, and holds out his hand so the small fox can smell it.
"Who knows, *he* might need to keep an eye on *me*, beautiful one."
He winks at the fox, then stands back up and offers his hand to the man.
"My name is Takeshi, how do you do?" by which he clearly dismisses the local idea of a greeting, and favours a more exotic one.
Imonoth feels a much more at ease at the other women, definately more so that around Mamoru. (he is scary)
When Takeshi kneels down Imonoth is timid at first then slowly sniffs his hand. at his wirds the fox turns its head as if to blush.
the fox responds in common you flatter me, but my heart remains true to my Lang.
then as quick as she can she darts behind Lang, embarassed at the fact that she spoke.
Mamoru chuffed a bit at Takeshi's flowery words and walked away to look down the halls and out the windows for any other unexpected visitors.
"Give me time, precious one. I'm sure I can make even your devouted heart experience something akin to doubt." he says smilingly, when Mamoru is walking away from them.
"Which reminds me, oh ferocious leader. I found a room which was kind of locked, and inside is a big statue and something is off. Wouldn't really care to go in there on my own, but thought I would let you know."
Mamoru stopped at that news, turned and waited to hear Mai's orders.
Imonoth looks up to Lang
Do not worry my dear, He is all words, possibly because He lacks what a real man needs.
Lang looks toward the departing Takeshi and first there is a smile, soon he is trying to hide his laughter.
Come on then Imonoth, we should go and see what he has found, perhaps it is what he is missing
Seori eyes the now-talkative fox curiously, but averts her gaze, considering the potential importance of Takeshi's discovery before following along, motioning for the group to join them.
"Let us see what you've found, Takeshi. While Kikonu is our target, I doubt his pride or greed will let him go far while we take what he has left lying about."
Mamoru walks in the direction Takeshi had come from, looking for whatever he might have found.
Lang simply follows along hoping that this find they have will provide some further information concerning his and Imonoth's predicament.
Takeshi leads the way, and shows them the door that's only slightly open now.
"Think this is dangerous? I can go in, see what's there and you'll wait here in case something's there, or following me?"
Mamoru opened the door without preamble and looked inside. It was clear he was ready to go in and see what the worry was about, but he waited for orders.
Takeshi looks at the big guy, and smiles.
"What was I thinking?" while looking at the fox.
"Before we storm in and leave more holes in the castle..."
Seori steps beside Takeshi, knowing full well his methods in comparison to the oni, and motions into the room with a hand.
"Why don't we let someone with a bit more finesse have a look? We'll stay back a short distance in case there's need for space. Takeshi-san, scout ahead, please. We will be only a few steps behind you."
As long as there are no more haunted walls to be shattered...
Mamoru grunts an affirmation and waits.
Takeshi puts down some of his less silent gear, and pulls up the scarf in front of his mouth. He then draws his dagger, and slowly moves inside, feet by feet. He keeps his eyes and ears open, and tries to figure out what happened/is happening/will happen.
As Mamoru strides into the room, the air feels... off. Soon, the cause for this feeling of wrongness becomes apparent: several pieces of the scattered armor begin reassembling. As they rebuild, fresh blood begins to run down them, similar to the wall earlier. Within mere seconds they stand fully assembled, rusted katanas in hand.
The blood running through the armor curls Seori's lip in disgust, but as her hand instinctively goes to the hilt of her blade, she pauses, realizing she still has something that may be of use. She reaches into her sleeves and produces the unused prayer tag, smirking at Mamoru.
"Perhaps this time we can use what we've been given instead of tearing the castle down around our ears. Spread out! Mamoru, divert it's blades while we encircle it so I can place the tag on it in hopes of putting this unnatural thing to rest!"
and if it fails? Well, at least we will have it surrounded...we will soon see if this is a shrewd plan or a foolish death...
"That's... an interestig idea..."
Takeshi will draw his weapon, ready to dodge incoming attacks.
He draws back the string and aims at one of them, to get its attention.
"We can try to herd them like sheep? Poke them into the right direction."
Mamoru nods once and moves to engage.
Imonoth rushes from the scene seeking a good hiding spot. but still able to see what is going on
Please be careful Lang..
the fox speaks in a scared voice.
Lang give his staff a twirl and takes a defensive stance moving to surround the animated monstrosities.
I haven't the Frakkest idea what theses creatures are she says getting reading for combat and tucking mojo under her armor.
"Must be something magical undead spirit stuff thingies. Seori-san, you want to use that prayertag before they try to tear us limb from limb?"
Mamoru just brings his spear down on the nearest suit of armor.
