((Ah, thank-you, Kisu. You just helped me get rid of my writer's block with that post. But, that will be strike 1 for Va'an. I think I'm also going to bring in another NPC. The character wasn't suppose to be an NPC, but I'm having trouble finding some one to RP as Bree's Second in command.))
The mood and temperature dropped like a rock. Sara and Reka moved well away from Va'an when he said Rick should leave and with good reason too. Bree was growling fiercely while trying to get up. Rick was trying to keep her down though. As for the other women, most of them had drawn weapons and had come closer to him, protesting about that suggestion with various "He's helped us more times then we can count for your information!" and "How dare you!".
"ENOUGH OUT OF THE LOT OF YOU!!" That was Bree's second finally stepping in. While she could be patient beyond belief, there was somethings she just couldn't stand. Right now was one of those things.
"Bree, please hold still for your father. You're in no condition to strangler anyone anyway. Can someone also please shut that door? They don't need to hear or see what's going on right now. It's only going to make matters worse. Especially if exlax over there makes another suggestion like that." She continued, lowering her voice and coming over and helping Rick hold her down.
"Thank-you Mist. Va'an I was just about ready to get a needle for the anti-poison Terra just made when you said that. Now Sara's going to have to do that while I help Mist hold my daughter down until she calms down." Rick said, looking first at Va'an with a slight glare for the trouble he caused and then at Sara to see if she had moved yet. Which she had.
Sara had came over to get the anti-poison and then moved over to a counter. She rummaged in a draw until she found a sterile needle. While she was getting that ready, Rick turn his attention back to rest of the people in the room.
"Right, I'll hold her left arm down. Mist, since you're already there, hold down her right arm. Reka, hold her left leg down. Terra, if you would hold down her right leg, please. Va'an, probably best for you to stay over there for now. I wouldn't put it pass Breena to try to hit you even in her condition." He said as he moved over so Sara could get to Bree's arm to give her the needle full of anti-poison. Bree on her half, growled in confirmation, only flinching slightly at the needle. Rick, seeing that that was finished with, turn to Jase.
"Whenever you are ready, Jase." He said, tightening his grip on Bree's arm. Reka and Mist did the same to the limbs they were holding down.
((I forgot to mention it when I first started RPing, but her wound is on her right side. Just thought you should know so Jase knows. And don't except Bree to make this easy for him, Amaroq.))

Hunter Ikari
The Blood Seeker
Walking up to the doors of the Three Performers, Hunter hesitantly went to knock, before pausing. The scent trail did indeed end here, but seemed to be around back. Shrugging, he pushed open the front doors, stepping inside. The scent of anti-venom filled his nostrils, and he perked up. Strong stuff, but it wasn't really his business.
His ears perked, and he jumped into a roll, dodging a young man falling towards him. Sighing, he stood up, brushing himself off. "Excuse me. I'm sorry for being in your way." Perking up, he took a stance, frowning. Already, a fight. It hadn't even been three hours since he'd entered society for the first time in ten years, and someone was trying to kill him. Or maul him. Regardless.
"If you insist to keep this up, let us at least take it outside where others won't be-" Feeling a sharp pain in his left arm, he looked over to see the hilt of a throwing knife protruding from his bicep. Closing his eyes, he sighed. This was going to be a LOOONG day.
It would only take a moment for Hunter to establish a pin, shoving the man's head into the floor. Wispy blue strands of his aura began to come forth from his right arm, his hand holding onto the man's face the most obscured by the energy.
BANG. The energy was directed in a pulse at the man's head, slamming into his face and shaking the floor below. The man continued to struggle.
BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG. Twelve quick pulses of energy, slamming into the man's face. The man was becoming limp now, barely struggling. His nose was broken and bleeding, some blood coming out from his mouth. He was unconscious. He wouldn't die, far from it, but he looked like he'd just lost a few fistfights in a row.
Brushing himself off, Hunter stood up, walked over to a wall, and slumped down. There was pair of additional knives stabbed into him now, one in his left armpit, the other in his left forearm. Observing the wounds, he gritted his teeth. Rolling his head back, he closed his eyes and began to focus his energy.
It would be easier to heal the wounds as he pulled out the blades, and he didn't want to deal with bloodloss scaring people. Then again, he'd just nearly pounded a man to death with magic. Regardless...Hunter needed to clear his mind, before he lose his temper and kill the b*****d out of spite.
His brand of mercy was cruel, but at least the man would live to tell the tale, and hopefully prevent others from picking fights without reason. Then, Hunter frowned. Why had the guy jumped him in the first place? Still...Hunter had to get up soon. He probably looked dead, sitting against a wall after loud crashing noises, looking like a pincushion with knives shoved into him.
"I should get up..." He thought to himself, but he didn't bother. He didn't feel like it, yet.
[[Sorry if my post is too...invasive. If anything is wrong, let me know and I'll change it.
The power he used was Destruction, at point blank. He toned it down to bare minumum to beat the guy unconscious...normally, this would just shatter a normal human's (NPC) skull with 5 successive hits, let alone 12 like that.
The guy probably has a broken or dislocated jaw, he's probably missing two or three teeth, and his nose is pretty broken. He's definately unconscious. At worst, he might have a very minor concussion, but it's doubtful. Hunter held back, despite how vicious it seemed.
Also, Hunter's blood would smell inhuman and very unique to anyone who can smell that kind of thing.]]

(i'm assuming this is not Jase since this he doesn't use Knives to fight unless they are on fire. And for the most part, he just uses his flames to fight.)
Jase shook his head at the people who were making a ruckus upstairs. It really was rather ridiculous what some people would get into fights over. Jase nodded his head as he sucked in his breath and then he blew the air out, which became flames. He breathed the fire onto his knife until it was nearly glowing. He prepared himself to get punched as he quickly pressed the hot knife down fully onto the wound. After ten seconds, he picked up the knife off the wound. The wound would should signs of burns, but it would be completely closed.

((Nice entry Shade. As far as I'm concerned, that was great. It'll give me something else to work with. I was starting to get bored waiting for Torsin and kisu to post again.))
All attention was turn up to the ceiling. The thieves, Sara, Reka, Rick, Mist and even Bree was looking up with barely opened eyes. They were trying to figure out what was going on up there. Reka sniff the air. More blood. Two different people. One human and....Heck! She couldn't place the other scent.
"What the heck is that other one? It smells Fae, but at the same time not Fae." Reka said, bringing the rest of the wolf-kin in the room to sniffing the air.
"Well, whatever happened up there, we'll worry about later. Back to the task at hand. Wind strike, Lightning strike and Swift feet, go up and see what's going on up there. Make sure nothing else happens." Rick said, giving up on identifying the scent and turning his attention back to Bree.
Said wolves immediately left, going up the stairs and into the social area of the main floor. They were slightly puzzled over the sight before them. One guy laying unconscious on the ground and another slumped against the wall. Lightning strike went over and sniffed at the unconscious man while Wind strike and Swift feet checked out the one against the wall. Wind strike sniffed at the knife in his forearm. Then she grabbed onto it with her teeth and pulled it out and dropped it on the floor. Swift feet did the same with the one in his bicep while Wind strike pull the last one out. After that, they curled up beside him. Clear indication that if anyone wanted to try anything else, they would be dealing with them. Any regular custom would know that when Rick and Sara were else where, the Alphas and Betas were in charge. Lightning strike went back down stairs to relay what they had seen.
Back down stairs, things were becoming quite interesting. Bree had flinched away from the initial contact of the hot knife. She yelped loudly and had tried to knock the thing away, only to have the others tighten their grips on her.
"Here, bite down on this." Mist said, rolling up a sleeve to reveal a forearm that had clearly been bitten before. Probably from the same thing as was happening now.
Mist had placed her forearm right in front of Bree's mouth. Bree immediately bit down on it hard, causing Mist to hiss out in pain. That was the normal routine for them. While Bree's wound was being stitched up, Mist would allow her to bite her arm. Why did she do this? Because Mist knew Bree was the kind of person who needed to relay the pain she was feeling to someone else and she was the only one brave enough to do it.
They stay like this for a few moment after Jase had finished, waiting for the pain to subside. Only then did Bree release her hold of Mist's arm who promptly pulled it out the way and pull the her sleeve back down.
"Right, Mist, I think you should be able to handle taking Breena up to her room. Sara, go up with her and take the anti-poison up with you just in case. As for us, how about something to drink. Reka, come help me get the drinks." Rick said with a sigh of relief for having adverted another emergency for now.
Mist nodding her head, picked Bree up bridal style and was the first to leave the room with Sara following close behind her. Lightning strike chose that moment to come back in and tell Rick what appeared to have happened up there.
"Is that so. Well, looks like we have two more people to look after now." Rick said as he lead the others out of the room and up the stairs at a quick pace. Mainly because most of the people were still glaring heatedly at Va'an.
Mist and Sara paused for a moment to check the scene up stairs for themselves before continuing up the to the four floor where the family lived. Rick and Reka came up a few minutes behind them. Reka tilted her head off to the right. Rick scratched the back of his head and whistled quietly.
"You weren't kidding when you said there appeared to have one heck of a fight." Rick said moving to look at the unconscious man to assess the damage. "Broken nose....Jaw doesn't like to good either...Probably has a concussion too...." He muttered to himself. Then he went over to the other man. He noted the knieves laying on the floor near by.
"Sir, can you tell me what happened?" He asked. Wind strike and Swift feet got up and went to the other one, each taking a side, and started dragging him out the door by the shoulders of his coat at a silent command from Reka. They didn't really care much for this one. He had come in before and caused trouble. It was his own fault for picking a fight with the wrong person this time.
The rest of the wolves had disappeared to wherever they had before all the excitement had started up.
((I just noticed something...I have a lot of NPC's running around in here. I'm just glad I decided to leave Bree's brothers out of it or else we'd be having to deal with two trouble makers and their wolves as well. Well, at least I can get a few out of the way now. Anyway, I think I'll leave here for now.))

Hunter Ikari
The Blood Seeker
Hunter's eyes didn't even open when the wolves neared, even while they pulled the blades from his wounds. Crimson blood flowed from the wounds, heavily enough to stain his clothes.
Despite the people in front of him asking questions, Hunter didn't respond. Lifting one hand up in a prayer position, he finished the near-silent chant of the Ancient Tongue he'd been speaking. Then, he spoke two words. "Siphon. Regeneration."
The blood was drawn from his clothes, as though it had never been there, and flowed back to the wounds through the air, before they healed over flawlessly. He opened his eyes, and dropped his hand to his side. Gracefully rising to his feet and bowing deeply from the waist, with a twirl of his previously injured arm, he smiled.
Standing straight once more, he began to speak. "I entered your grand place of business to be greeted with an attack. It was a simple matter to dodge the first lunge, but when he started to throw blades at me, I didn't want others to be caught in the clash. I took the blades into my body to protect the others."
He paused, then, leaning against the wall once more. Despite the residual aura about the room, which he'd used a fairly high amount of energy by the looks of, Hunter seemed unscathed. "I decided to spare his life, since I'm not sure of the laws around here, nor the rules in your place of business. Please forgive me for causing a disturbance. If I could only trouble you for a place to sleep, and mayhap an ale..."
He paused, then stood up, seemingly a little confused. He spoke uncertaintly, but he took a moment to regain his composure. "What little I have to offer in payment is yours, and I can pay in other ways, if need be. I'm a Guardian, as well...if you know of anyone looking for an escort or a bodyguard..."
Hunter backed up his statement, on the money end, but producing a small pouch from his left sleeve. A bag of pure silver coins, and a fair amount of them. Anything he couldn't pay off, he'd work off, by whatever means neccessary.

Jase had taken a few steps up the stairs, but the father was taking care of the problem. So Jase decided to speak with the daughter who seemed to be the leader of the guild. "Madam, I am sorry for the discomfort that you had to endure even though it was brief. However, I am here because I was told that your guild got more information on anything and everyone than any other guild. I would like to join if I may," Jase hoped he wasn't being too bold by asking her directly.

((Shade, that's a big heads up to the only vampire around. So, thanks? xDD It almost sounds like you were trying to signal me....
Also, about all the NPC's. Yes. Quite. There are a lot of them.))
Still being studious, "Alright, making a note that sometimes those emotionally attached can prove useful in times of crisis...." the old vampire obviously didn't care in the least for what these wolf-kin, mortals, and otherwise thought of him. Indeed, he was just the sort of person who didn't give the slightest concern to such a thing from anyone, an a**. When the time came he closed up his notes and pocketed the small book, heading upstairs along with everyone else. Even he couldn't help but be a little bit curious about all the noise, especially when there was someone bearing strange blood around. It was just one of those things that piqued the interest of his kind...usually. With an exaggerated sigh, Va'an began "Noisy, noisy...shouldn't you at least give the troublemaker a room? After all, he did expend himself on behalf of your patrons. Although, how recklessly he did so..." Letting his eyes fall on Hunter now and then with a condescending glint. "If he is looking for employ I may have a use for him. Rick, sir, grant his request on the grounds of the good rapport between you and I, won't you?"
Then Va'an's eyes began to wander around the room as he made a show of being bored...in an instant he had disengaged himself from the present situation, which became apparent with his idle comment of, "I want to poke something...." At which point he spied the bag of coins Hunter had produced, and proceeded to poke it, generating a pleasant jingle and a smile on the vampire's face. "Ah, now that's a nice sound." Picking up the bag as if it were his, and a complacent look which asked 'you don't mind, do you?', Va'an weighed it by feel and continued to shake it a bit just to hear the clink of silver coins jostling about. "Also a bit reckless to bring so much coin into a den of thieves might I add." With a wink he returned the purse.
((To save you the trouble of decoding Va'an's vocabulary, he's saying since we're such good friends, Rick, let him--Hunter--have a room. And I went on a trip this weekend so sorry for not posting in a while....
Oh yea and don't pay any attention to Va'an in the second para...you're not meant to anyway since he's being special xD and by special I mean ADD))

After Bree had been treated Terra decided to stay for a bit before he headed off to find the other shaman who Baldor had informed him was already back in the village. Though he was hoping she wouldn't be bad for his lack of help despite him being there. If things went badly he would probably end up fighting her and he wasn't all that sure he would survive that fight even with his tremendous power and skill. Leaning against the wall he side as head bent down as if he was sleeping but he was bot he was merely thinking of his next couples of moves and every possibility he could think of in between.

((Hope you had fun Kisu. Noted and no problem Shade. Have fun with whatever you're going to be doing. Btw, there's going to be a name change to the guild. I didn't really like the current name. So I'm taking advantage of the "Custom Guilds" application to make my guild better. Anyway, new name is Scarlet Wolf.))
"I see. Well, you're welcome to stay as long as you want for free for doing us a favor. That one has been coming in lately and scaring the regulars away. Maybe he'll think twice before starting anything next time." Rick said with a chuckle. Then he continued. "Anyway, everyone come sit down. Any drink you want on the house for helping my daughter." He lead the way over to the head table.
Mist had stopped moving when Jase had started speaking to Bree. She had a small, friendly smile on her face.
"Jase, I'm sure that as soon as Bree has had a bit of sleep..." Mist had started speaking, only to be interrupted by Bree who place one of her hands in front of Mist's face.
"It's ok Mist. We'll do it now. Take me over to the head table, then go get the "Code of the Rouge Wolf" and the ritual dagger." Bree said quietly.
"Are you sure? You are still recovering." Mist asked.
"Yes, I'm quite sure. Now please do as I asked. Don't make me turn it into an order." Bree growled out. She was not in the mood to be denied. The fact that she was able to form full sentences, if rather weakly, was proof that she was already starting to recover from her ordeal. Mist just blinked a couple of times.
"As you wish than." Mist said with a sigh of defeat. She then took Bree over to the table and gently sat her down in one of the chairs. Then she quickly left to go back down stairs.
"Jase, before you become an offiacl of the Scarlet Wolf, there's a few things you have to do. One of those things you've already done. Impressing me by healing my wound up so quickly, if rather painfully. The second thing is taking an oath of loyalty, trust and honor. We might be a guild of thieves, but we still hold those three things about all else. Anyway, this oath includes making a blood pact with me. The last thing is memorizing the rules of our guild, the "Code of the Rouge Wolf". Bree said as she beckon him to come sit in the chair beside her. She'd wait for him to ask any questions he might have and for Mist to return with the requested items.

Hunter Ikari
The Blood Seeker
Hunter perked up when Bree said something about an order, and a guild. Walking up to her, he bowed gracefully, before standing. He smiled lightly and cocked his head to the side, before speaking. "A guild leader can never have enough bodyguards, and I am feeling sorry for causing a mess in your home. Might I offer my...services?"
Floating behind him, all of his weapons came into being. All of them sheathed themselves on the harness on his back, while the knives sheathed at the back of his belt, and he took scythe in hand. The blade folded down, the haft telescoped in to shrink. He twirled it, and set it on his back. "Surely...you must have heard of the Blood Seeker at some point in your life, yes? I don't think my legend should have dissapeared in the ten years I've been gone..."
[[Hunter may or may not be famous for being a bodyguard who seems damn near unkillable.
His viciousness against his enemies earned him the name Blood Seeker.
Although not everyone can tie that title to him, they can tie it to his scythe and Sin and Virtue, his unique swords.]]

Jase was impressed by the tenacity Breena showed even though she had just been fatally wounded. This guild could be the one he would permanently stay with. He wondered if the rest were like their leader. Most likely so. "My only question can come after the blood pact and what not," Jase said with politeness as he moved to the chair and sat in it. Jase began to think that this guild might just be the one for him.

((Indeed I did have fun, but why are you being so nice to me? xDDD Granted we're in a guild or two together, but...well whatever, its the internet I'd rather have it populated by people who are friendly for no reason than people who are total a-holes for no reason *cough cough mods cough cough* I just hate them. Never had a good experience with a mod or not that I remember anyway...maybe that's just because I'm the kind of person who remembers negative things more than positive things. OH WELL~))
"Oh goodie~" Va'an said in mock enthusiasm, though he tried to make it sound as realistic as possible. "I was hoping for a reward and as it turns out, I don't drink...well not alcohol anyway. Oh well, at least I was right about your daughter. She's a strong one. Maybe I'll be back for her one day when she's not just a child..." He was still trying to get on Rick's nerves a bit because it was just oh so fun for the old vampire to show up carrying the dying girl in his saving arms and then turn into a complete a**. "Say, how much does the usual drink cost? Could you maybe turn the drink into the same value of coin for me?" As Hunter had ignored him, Va'an had quickly forgotten about him.

((lqtm, Oh, don't worry Kisu. I can be a complete b***h if someone p***es me off enough. But yea, most of the time I'm friendly for know good reason. I've been like that for as long as I can remember.))
Bree's right eye twitched at Va'an's 'child' comment. She growled something in canine that made Reka snort while trying to hold back a laugh. Rick shot a strange look at him. Sara just rolled her eyes at the lot of them.
"Don't worry about that. We have some bottles of wine spiked blood in the basement just in case we do get vampires here. I'll go get one right now." Reka said leaving quickly before they made her burst out laughing from their antics. Sara went into the kitchen to check on the food she was cooking for the other customers.
"I see I missed something while a went to get what was asked for." Mist said coming back into the room.
"Nothing much, just Va'an being a smart a** again." Bree muttered. Sighing she turned her attention to Hunter and smirked.
"Oh yes, I've heard of you. Any thief would have to have been deaf and blind not to know you. Anyway, I think I'll take you up on that offer. I don't think my mother will allow me to leave by myself any time soon after what just happened." She said to him. She shifted uncomfortably.
"Jase, is it suppose to itch to the depths of hell and the heights of heaven?" She asked him. Obviously, her recently, fully healed wound was itching like crazy. Bree was sorely tempted to fit her blood stain shirt up and scratch at it. But, that was unladylike and she wasn't about to fit her top in a room full of men.
