With enough time having passed, Sebastian's nerves had steadied a bit, and the tightness of his muscles relaxed as he sat. When Rebecca announced her readiness to move on, the soldier lifted his head from his palm and nodded. "Ja," he replied. "Let's go." On his feet again, he opted for his...

As Mazurek pushed in, Krawczyk stepped up with several members of Squad 10 to lay down suppressing fire on the enemy. It wasn't long, however, before one of the stray bullets in the exchange struck a pipe which began to spew a liquid fuel component onto the concrete decking, where it pooled and...

After a few minutes of work, the fence was neatly snipped open about two feet from the bottom. Oberto inspected the cut and nodded. "Yeah, that's enough," he said, motioning the others to slide through the opening as he pulled back on his side of the chain link. One by one, the soldiers of...

Sebastian's lip curled at the reply. "Tch." With that solitary sound of dismissal, he allowed the detective to move on without interrupting him. Inside, he could only bask in the hypocrisy of accepting Cassandra's presence while rejecting Aleister's involvement with his whole chest. Jakob could...

From the moment the Dark Lord guided her blade away from her neck, Sharyx knew that she was absolved of her father's treason - and was free to chart her own path. Still, her brief proximity to doom had left her without a consideration for anything beyond the current moment. It would take her...

As Izaak weighed in on Seith's chaotic studies and adopted the same position as Voyka, Sharyx quietly scoffed and settled back into her seat. She wouldn't argue with them; whether or not they approved, Seith was her friend - her only friend, in fact - and she had no plans to dispose of him any...

Sharyx nodded at the mercenary. It was good that even the most spiritually-ambivalent of the Heralds was conscious of her actions' merit. "My conscience is clear," she replied.

Sharyx held up her hand, instructing Seith to hold his tongue. "You only encourage her to speak of her own past grievances..." she warned. She then leaned in and whispered, "If she sees death and disaster when she looks at us, then maybe that's for the best." She then turned back and examined...

Moments after Hildegard spoke up, a piece of the meat that Sharyx had carefully cut moments earlier seemed to come alive, wriggling its way off of the serving platter in the midst of death throws, as if the slicing and dicing the dark elf had done moments earlier was against a foe in battle. As...

Sebastian watched with growing concern as the trio of Camille, Aleister, and Jakob traded their points of view. The detective still had his hand on his gun, and was barely keeping his temper, and his wolf form, in check. Constantine was trying to deescalate the situation, and thankfully, at...

While the others debated the merits of clean cuts over rough ones, the food on Sharyx's plate dwindled, until she finally speared the last piece of meat with the tip of her knife and ate it. At some point along the line, her hands stopped shaking and the mistiness in her eyes dissipated, as her...

As Alexandra made her rounds, flattering, or even openly flirting with, some and insulting others, Sharyx was both relieved and empowered that the Witch Queen seemed to respect her. She tried not to react strongly to the woman's apparent interest in her body, either, but this was somewhat...

Sebastian quietly gripped his axe once more without standing as the figure approached. Whom had Cassandra saved? Are they friend or foe? Camille's reaction seemed to give an answer, albeit one which raised further questions. The newcomer was a villain, apparently, but one which the gods had...

Sebastian's eyes flicked up from his hands; for once, he looked as young as he was. He hesitated to answer her first question- there were words on his lips, but given the circumstances of the moment, they would be laced with alarm when he didn't intend it. For instance, his first thought was to...

Having prepared all of his weapons, he paused a moment with his Luger in hand, carefully looking over the blinded thralls that were now without masters, and he briefly considered putting them out of their misery. But also, he could see that Riberta, Cassandra, and the other surviving vampires on...

The Saint's sudden collapse didn't quite surprise Sebastian, although he wished he would have thanked her for helping him before she did. It was just that he had been distracted, frozen in thought after hearing her reassurances that he hadn't been infected, returning to that third case that he...

As Rebecca approached, she would see Sebastian curled into a fetal position on the ground, clutching his hand at the wrist and moaning quietly in agony, his eyes shut tight. With a broken rib pressed by the rising and falling of his diaphragm, he was wracked with pain every time he tried to...

Rebecca's call came out, but Sebastian was too busy fighting for his life by instinct to really care what was about to happen. By now, he had been cut with knives and claws, grazed by a thrall's bullet which passed through his overcoat from back to front, and had taken a number of blows to the...

At the bow of the Rayless, Sharyx stood with one foot on the ship's forecastle and took in the looming, foreboding scenery of the landmass ahead. Lohrsahr - a place she had been indoctrinated since birth to hate, to believe it was the root of all that was diseased and wicked in the world - was...

"Scheiße...!" Sebastian cursed at the hoard of undead and their thralls continued to pour into the room, faster than they could be killed. The inspector had lost a pair of his assistants and things seemed to be spiraling out of control. "Du willst mein Blut!? Hä!?" he called out, his voice...
