RP Thread | Black Rose

"I can bring some of you into shadows if you'd like, but you'd need to stick with me then, and obviously I can't take you into your own shadow. Come now, are none of you capable of hiding with your own abilities?"
 
"You talk about hiding in the shadows to attack, but what about the shadows attack while I hide" said frank in a mysterious way
 
As Zack approaches the location of the black flame explosion, he wonders if he's gotten himself into something way over his head with the plague doctor, the illusion trap, the missing women, the royal symbol and now that strange dream he had...

Yet he quietly reassures himself once more...

"This is what I wanted right!?, some excitement. My master may have been a grade A jerk but he always did warn me to be careful what you wish for... it may come true"

After collecting his thoughts, Zack sees a lone, short yet beautiful lady on the street gleefully walking around with zero care in the world.

(Is this in reference to where the group is?
 
"That does not answer the question of how to hide, as asked by several here."

Rose replied, yawning at the response through the shadow.

"Find your own ways, or be dragged in with me. Your own decisions."
 
“I do not possess the ability to hide in such a way, I will hide with you for now” Reznov answers before turning to the other women and nodding to her question.
 
Rose would drag those who needed it into the shadows with her, finding a spot underneath a nearby building and following after the bait through the shadows.
 
“Alright, you do that, I’ll go out and act as bait.”

Menas proceeds to walk around aimlessly, pretending to be sleepy
Zack approaches the lone, sleepy woman and calmly beckons to her.

"Excuse me m'lady but I wouldn't be walking the streets of this city, especially alone and with the reports of kidnapping. If you want I could escort back to your home".

“Thanks, but don’t worry, I can take care of myself.“
 
“Thanks, but don’t worry, I can take care of myself.“
Zack smirks before crouching down to make himself shorter than the sleepy women.

"It's ok, I know what it's like to put on a brave face but I don't think you truly realize how serious the darkness in this city is. Trust me there are things going on in Kundari you couldn't imagine, it's best to get you to safety... before it's too late..."

“I understand your concern but I really can take care of myself. Please leave me alone.”
 
“I understand your concern but I really can take care of myself. Please leave me alone.”
Zack tilts his head to the side and makes a confused expression before sighing

"Sigh... you're a stubborn one aren't ya? Well if you won't listen to reason, I'll just have stay here with you until daybreak m'lady!"

“Excuse me, creep? Leave me alone or else I’ll show you just how well I can defend mysel.”

I feel bad for treating him like this but he’s really messing up my plans. I guess I’ll just have to owe him one

Zack backs off and raises both of his hands.

"Fine... I'm not in the business of fighting women in the streets but you need to realize one thing m'lady, the kidnapper likely has connections in very high places and potentially possesses certain abilities you couldn't hope to understand. Don't say I didn't warn you".

With that, Zack leaves the woman alone.

(Would Menas' senses extend to energies?)
 
(I assume if it’s not an energy that can be perceived by normal human senses, doesn’t give off heat, isn’t electrical or magnetic, wouldn’t change humidity of the air, or make noise, then it would bypass the senses
(very well then.)
 
After checking he's outta of sight of the young lass, Zack activates Light Gecko before climbing up a nearby building, he then uses his enhanced sight to keep an eye on the young lass at a distance, he notices she has an unusually long shadow but paids it's no mind.

"There was something slightly off with that girl, I do not doubt she can handle herself in a fight but if the kidnapper and that plague doctor are indeed connected, she doesn't stand a chance".
 
...Nothing comes. The woman waits and waits... But nothing. It seems whatever noble baring the symbol of the Praya has elected to stay within the confines of their home...

Really? I want to send him a rude gesture but that would probably blow my cover, guess I gotta pretend I don’t notice

“Looks like it won’t work a second time. Probably cause of that guy. I can flip him off now though”

Menas does just that

“Anyway, you guys can come out, its not gonna work tonight”
 
"How annoying."

A voice came out of the shadows as Rose casually leaped out, the others soon being dragged out along with them.

"But it shows they weren't confident enough to do it again this time, which is very interesting."
 
"......" the fingernail stays silent. While not endowed in non verbal communication it is clear that if the fingernail had any facial features to contort said features would be a perfect picture of awkwardness and uncertainty of what to do, a tad shocked that he was noticed but more unsure what the person is doing given they haven't attempted communication or analysis. "....hello m'lady?"

“Go away or I eat you. Or help I guess.”
 
Zack impressed the lass could still see him pass his Light Gecko technique and seeing multiple others with her, he proceeds to investigate the current situation.

"Huh?, a stake-out perhaps?"
