Fandom: Ao No Exorcist
Player Name: Zay

[...Well, this sure doesn't look right.

Shura swipes vibrant yellow bangs out of her eyes, grumbling in irritation as she shakes the water droplets off her fingers. As her vision clears, she lets out a long, slow whistle in amazement. 

The dome arching over her drenched head could be a part of True Cross, but the clear water on the other side suggests something a little more out of the ordinary.]

What in the hell...?

[She purses her lips as she traces the crimson tattoo along her chest with a few stray fingers.]

Devour the seven princesses, slay the serpent.

[A warm light emanates from her collarbone as she extracts a curved sword from her drenched skin, brandishing the weapon in front of her with a flourish.]

Tha's better. Now, lessee what I've gotten myself into now.

[Aw hell. Her. Of all people.

Not Yukio. Not Bon. Not even Mephisto.

Her.]

I'd say it is Hell, but we know that's not true.

[He got tired of waiting for her to turn around and see him.]

[slaytheserpent]

[She hears a voice behind her and pivots sharply to the right, swinging her blade dangerously close to Rin's throat before she recognizes the familiar face.]

Well, if it isn' my favorite brat. Is that any way to greet yer superior?

[Rin's presence can only be a sign of trouble...could this be that worm Mephisto's doing?]

[keepsthefire]

[Rin doesn't even flinch. This doesn't get him jumping anymore, not like it used to.]

Superior? Superior, nothin'. [he scoffs, walking around her slowly, hands behind his head]

Just because you're here doesn't mean I go back to trainin', does it? 'cause I don't see any exorcists here. I don't see crap 'cept a stupid underwater city.

[slaytheserpent]

[So they are underwater. Whoever's responsible for this must really know what they're doing - even she isn't entirely sure how one would go about pulling such a maneuver. Not that she'd say so.

She narrows her eyes before lunging at the boy, throwing her free arm around his neck with a boisterous laugh.]

Jus' cause we're in whatever the hell this place is doesn't mean I ain't yer teacher anymore. We've still got plenty a' training to do!

[keepsthefire]

GYAK--!

[Poor Rin. He can't even reply. Chest in face, arm in a vice grip around his neck, he's just left flailing and gasping for air.]

[slaytheserpent]

Whassa matter, cat got yer tongue?

[Shura's impish smirk grows wider as she tightens her grip, smothering Rin in her ample cleavage. Cutting off his air supply for a few minutes might pull him back into line.]

[keepsthefire]

No, you do!

[His voice is muffled and strained, breath getting more difficult by the second. Damnit, Shura, not funny.]

[slaytheserpent]

Wow, ya really are an idiot, aren't ya? I have yer neck, not yer tongue.

[Shura certainly thinks it's funny. She lets out a cackle before finally relinquishing her grip on Rin. The kid should have learned his lesson by now, if he's not a total moron.]

[keepsthefire]

[No, just sort of one. And bullheaded enough to not learn his lessons fast enough.]

Uahg...

[He makes a rather... interesting noise at being released and stumbles back, glaring at her while rubbing his neck.]

Gonna make my life hell here too, eh? Lemmie guess, more stupid candles?

[slaytheserpent]

It's not like I enjoy taking care of a dumb brat like you either, yaknow.

[It's lucky for Rin that Shura's such a compassionate, patient mentor.

She smirks at Rin as she throws her blade over her shoulder.]

Just yer luck, I wasn't holding any candles when I landed in this place. Don't worry, I'll find somethin' just as fun for you to do!

[keepsthefire]

Uhuh. Sure.

[You enjoy tormenting him, Shura.]

Great. Can't wait. I'm holding my breath I'm so excited.

[Oh the sarcasm.]

switched up the username buuut

[serpentslain]

If it weren' for yer old man, I'd have booted yer ass out of True Cross ages ago.

[Enjoy might not be the right word. Maybe feels obligated to.]

Don't hold yer breath too long. You're hard enough to keep alive already.

oh, neat. I like this one.

[keepsthefire]

Whatever...

[Sadly, he believes it. But 'booted out' is still better than 'executed'. Even so, it kinda hurts that Shura still doesn't seem to think that much of him. His shoulders slump just a tiny bit, tail slowing to a very languid sway behind him.]

Guess you're gonna need a place to stay or whatever, right?

[serpentslain]

[Shura doesn't miss the slight drop in his stance. Idiot...she's not trying to make him feel bad, but the truth is the truth. After alll, she definitely isn't going to be dropping the tough love until he proves himself to her.]

Yeah, probably. [She stretches her arms over her head, blade still in hand, and lets out a casual sigh.] First, though, you should tell me where the hell we are.

[keepsthefire]

[Well, he's not exactly feeling great right now. Not having Yukio or anyone else around has been irritating.]

Uh. Vatheon. It's some weird city under the ocean. There's an elevator to the surface but... you wouldn't recognize anything up there. Pretty much trapped here.
