[Open] I Could See Into the Soul of Every Passerby

[redlightgreenlight]

Characters: Valdis and YOU!
Date: The Month of June
Location: Around Keeliai and Hatal
Situation: Various
Warnings/Rating: In Headers


The previous month had been somewhat of a whirlwind. Meisheng’s revelation that Milyn had truly betrayed them, Yunxu’s failures as a leader and her decision to move forward with the Police force had set in motion things that she wasn’t certain she was prepared for. In particular, she wished she could spend her time hunting the cultists, but her commitments to the Dojo and the Police Force currently hindered that. Hopefully she would be able to refocus her attentions soon enough.

Personally, she was concerned with keeping the Void under control, it’s temporary possession had been disconcerting to say the least and she couldn’t be certain it would let go so easily the next time. For now, she kept Revelations on hand at all times, the warm glow from the entire blade kept hidden by a dark cloak to keep out the cold and conceal her presence when she didn’t wish to be noticed. So many eyes seemed to be on her and her potential police force, it was different, because any mistake would be closely scrutinized and it reminded her why she had never tried to rule a country directly. The spotlight was detrimental to her secrets.

"Three," Bakura echoed, and a whirl of shadow coalesced on the 'field' between them. "Then it seems you'll get to meet the Patrician of Darkness even sooner than expected," he announced, as the duke-like creature stepped out of the portal. "And his ability allows me to choose whom your target will be-- and it won't be him, and it certainly won't be me."

With Patrician in play, Bakura could direct any of Valdis' attacks toward the Kitty, which its own ability prevented her from attacking, leaving her in a perpetual loop, unless she could find a way to outsmart it.

Valdis eyed the new monster and huffed at Bakura, her ears flattening against her skull and her lips curling back. She couldn't attack anyone now, not Bakura, not this Patrician, or the small cat, much as she wanted to attack the cat. She slowly got to her feet, hackles rising, fighting the hesitation even as she held back the Void's interference, she didn't need the Parasite's help and there were rules even it would have to follow when it came to Bakura's game.

She shook her head to clear it, trying to think about anything but attacking and being unable to attack that darn cat. Her eyes locked on her sword, still sticking out of the ground, she wasn't sure why she couldn't attack the kitty, but perhaps another shift could change her point of view. She leaped for the blade and it exploded with blinding light as she shifted to take it in her hand. Armor flowed over her skin, carrying its own radiance for several seconds before the light faded and it looked like nothing more than normal armor.

"Shall we dance?" She asked with a smile, spinning Revelations around in her hand, finally able to think clearly again.
