You're another set of eyes. We need as many as we can get if we wanna spot your cane.
[Now float along with him: he takes a running leap to bound onto the side of a streetlamp, using Stability to dash up and-- at its apex, fires his grappling hook into the air. He seems to have aimed it at nothing, except a Feint appears to grab his claw hand, and swings him UP--! towards the sky. We spider-man now]
[He hooks his arm to the roof of a building and swings, all around the block. If there's a cane anywhere, he can't see it - but half his attention is spent on maneuvering.]
[He summons a sword in its direction, still far enough that it wouldn't alert the imp. The two of them are immediately jerked mid-swing , pulled at top speed toward the sword - to which Nero reaches out his other arm to fire the grappling claw at the same time.
Before the imp even knew what hit it, it was being yanked in. Its little body POOFs into a cloud, with the cane it was holding now flung toward Raven with the residual momentum.]
[raven catches the cane in midair, swinging it like a sword for no apparent reason other than his own delight, ending on a twirl before planting it on the ground. nice moves, ray]
[raven wasn't expecting to feel that so strongly and he reacts instinctively--his grip on nero tightening until his knuckles are white, mouth going dry and eyes wide, lips parting to reveal fangs]

I guess that delegates me to tag-along, then.

he's enjoying this ride though]
They really are everywhere... it's like an infestation.

Re: Day 259 Imp Event
Over there. It doesn't see us yet.
Re: Day 259 Imp Event
I see'im.

Re: Day 259 Imp Event
Much better.
Re: Day 259 Imp Event
Nero himself is glowing bright blue as he lands, the light coming from markings on his skin that quickly fade]
That's more like it. Try an' stab those things before they yank it away again, yeah?
Re: Day 259 Imp Event
[pats his bound hand on nero's shoulder]
... thank you, Nero.
Re: Day 259 Imp Event
Nero grins - a little bashful - and reaches for Raven's hand]
Here, let's untie you...
Re: Day 259 Imp Event
--wait.
Re: Day 259 Imp Event
What is it?
Re: Day 259 Imp Event
Just... a moment. I'm so... thirsty. I don't know why, I just... need...
[leaning. closer. and closer. to nero's neck]
Re: Day 259 Imp Event
Nero pokes his forehead and pushes Raven's head back.]
Dude. I think you're vampiring.
Re: Day 259 Imp Event
I'm what?
[brings a hand up to his mouth and ends up poking his finger with his fangs, jerking back]
?!
Re: Day 259 Imp Event
S'probably why you're thirsty.
Re: Day 259 Imp Event
Oh. That explains it.
Re: Day 259 Imp Event
The aesthetic's complete.
