You underestimate my ability to dodge danger!! But it's okay. I don't have to know right now. I'd warn you about the "hunters" I have back home, but... I doubt COMPASS would like to have them here. They're about as bad, too.
So you're just a glo-stick pain sponge? ... well I guess I can see why people would want to hunt that. You're useful!
And you're underestimating what some of these hunters are capable of, they're not your average point and shoot group. Some of them aren't against killing perfectly normal, human children if they happen to get in the way.
I'm not as useful as you might think. Not yet. I need a way to protect myself from the hunters. If I can find that, I might be able to offer my pain draining ability to healers on a regular basis.
Wait, are they even here? Wouldn't that put them in the same position as the rest of us? They can't do anything that COMPASS won't already do worse, right? Besides, they'd have no advantage...
What kind of protection are you looking for, anyway?
The ones from my 'world' aren't. Not yet. There are hunters around though and they are aware of our presence. Imagine what they'd be capable of with their victims constantly reviving. An endless torture loop.
I just need a way to prevent mob mentality from instantly killing me if I happen to make a bad judgement call.
Thought so- but hey, you know... If you're not doing anything to provoke their hunting-mania And they're not provoking you... then no one gets tortured or killed if you just ignore each other, right?
How prone are you to bad judgement calls anyway? You know, outside of being a pain sponge to a complete stranger. (*❛‿❛) (A good stranger!)
... sounds like a real pleasant place you come from -_- And it's okay- as long as you're not mass murdering people or locking them in basements I think some bad judgement calls outside of that can be worked with...
But you know, you shouldn't be scared either of these hunters, I mean They aren't here and there's other problems that kind of affect you more while you're in this place
So why not put them aside for now? the last thing you need is clouded judgement on top of bad ones!!
I can totally whack you if you want me to snap you out of them, too! I pack a good punch!
You could say that. And i'm not mass murdering people or locking them in basements.
[ Now. Or should it be 'yet'? ]
The hunters I know aren't here. But like I said, there is a group of hunters from another 'world' present. I don't know how they work. Whether they have a code or not.
Hunters that kill that relentlessly and still have a code? Sounds like it's justification for doing what they are.
And don't go making bad decisions and I won't! That's what you'd do for a friend. Acquaintance. Something. You're really going to have to tell me more about the guys you've got and the ones freaking you out
You never mentioned what they hunt, though. Is it just people with magic in them, or do they go for humans too?
I can't help it if I make a bad decision every now and then. It's in my nature. And one day I will. Not right now though, there's more important things to worry about.
Not so much 'magic'. They go after people who aren't human. If a human gets in their way, they've been known to take them out too.
and then I was internet-less HELLO AGAIN are you tired of the delays yet
They're bullies with high powered electric cattle prods and a wide supply of bullets. No one is going to argue with them. And it's not that simple. They track people down, doesn't matter if the other person interacted with them or not.
There's no point in killing anyone here because we come back. Defeats the purpose of killing someone in the first place.
You could have knocked.
such a saint! also may I add you on plurk T//T I've enjoyed our threads and would love to have you!
They haven't faced the great and amazing megumi then!! Not that I want to face them, really.... But I'd totally make them regret it if they tried hurting anyone I was looking after X(
[ Regret, yes, be effective in doing so... that remains to be seen. She finally laughs a bit and knocks. ]
Hey, my hands were occupied, okay! And I totally made an awesome entrance with that. Open up! :D
Then they're jerks! Not that this hasn't been made clear! But food first. Hunter cursing later. Yay!
[ Oh Derek, what have you welcomed into your place. Be prepared for her chatter and just generally being the company he totally didn't want... at least she's useful for the bloodstains :D ~ She'll totally help him out when he needs for this and try and amuse him with her rambling. Or scare him. Whatever comes first. ]
[ He's obviously not the type of guy who sends overly enthusiastic texts. At all. And he's seriously not awake enough to deal with a noticeably all over the place girl. It's bad enough that he deals with one teenager like that on a regular basis, he doesn't need two in a single day.
Don't get him wrong she's seems nice enough, it's just that he's really running low on sleep right now. ]
[ Look it's been a stressful few days, he's allowed to be exhausted. Please take pity on him and skip over the fact that there's a set of blood stained clothes that clearly doesn't belong to him.
It's like he's suddenly gained another sister. One who also disapproves of his choices. ]
[ That's what sisters do. She's just going to enjoy being the younger, bossier one instead of the older, bossier one... same role, just difference in title! Be prepared, Derek!! ]

There are others that can do it here, they just lack experience.
And technically not human. Despite how I look.
There used to be more of us back home.
Hunters have been cutting down our numbers for a while now.
no subject
Because mine is still pretty human... mostly
Just with the magic stuff.
...then again, if *hunters* are after you
I'm guessing you've likely got an awesome scary form to go with
those glo-stick eyes, right?
no subject
The less you know, the safe you are.
[ He wouldn't put it past a group of hunters to trick the information out of someone. ]
There isn't much beyond those 'glo-stick' eyes.
No alternative monster form or anything like that.
no subject

Some of them will attack for the sake of it.
They say they’re taking care of the problem before it can begin.
Very.
They seem like good ideas at the time.
Fine in theory, terrible in practice.

It's not like we're infallible
And I guess you're kind of more self-aware than most!
And now these hunters just sound like bullies.
Anyway, I guess as long as you just stay out of their way
You should be fine, right?
Like you said, there's more important things to worry about
than have to worry about killing people that are in the same
situation as them anyway.
And feeding poor hungry young ladies waiting outside your door while texting you :D
nope i'm still cool with them
They're bullies with high powered electric cattle prods and a wide supply of bullets.
No one is going to argue with them.

They track people down, doesn't matter if the other person interacted with them or not.

go right ahead if you want to add me
They have their ways of attacking when least expected.
In the middle of the night for example.
Give me a second then.
And you can stop sending massages now.
I can hear you through the door.
woo hoo, added... and now she'll just terrorize derek with rambling and food. Sob.
Not that this hasn't been made clear!
But food first. Hunter cursing later.
Yay!
