silas hearing the scream,and the response from both rooms lets go of his held breadth and preps to see alexander and possibly sarah
"As I said, don't worry about it. If talking makes you feel better, I don't mind." Sarah said trying to sound sympathetic. "But, since your offering, I'll come with you. Just uh, give me a minute to change." She said as she threw off her oversized t-shirt. Sarah didn't bother to wear a bra as she put on a gray turtleneck, dark blue jeans, and a pair of white trainers.
'Great, I'll wait.' he said and left his room. He was quite surprised to see Silas waiting in the hall. 'Oh no, I didn't wake you too, did I?' he scratched the back of his head.
Sarah walked out of her room and said in a cheerful voice. "I'm here, thanks for waiting." But as she sees Silas also out in the corridor, Sarah raises her brow, "Oh, Silas will you also be joining us?" She asked, as she wondered what Silas was doing out in the corridor alone.
"nah, not unless you all want me to...just keeping watch,one of us has gotta,don't trust anyone but my teammates with my life,why don't yall take your walk and have that chat"silas slaps alexander on the shoulder "if you ever wake up and feel the need to kick the crap outta those nightmares come to me...I might b able to help with that"silas returns to watching the corridor.
Alexander was a bit concerned that Silas was watching over them sleeping, he nodded 'I might take you up on that sometime, Silas.' He turned to Sarah, and looked her up and down quickly. She looked absolutely stunning, even without spending any time in front of the mirror. He smiled at her, 'Shall we?'
"Thats, uh great?" Sarah said as she stared at Silas. "No, sorry, what I meant was thanks for keeping watch. Just don't overexert yourself." She shook her head as she followed up. Sarah turned to Alexander and said, "Right, let's go then." She waited for Alexander to move, before walking out their dormitories. "Hmm, I wonder what the academy is like at night." Sarah said curiously.
'Probably not too much going on, right? They, or we, don't want to draw too much suspicion,' Alexander said as they walked down the stairs and out of the door into the cold night air. Walking side by side around the school, Alexander continued, 'I always find a walk by moonlight and fresh air soothing, don't you?' He sighed, 'I guess after being so cryptic at dinner and that nightmare, I owe you the whole story, right? If you'd like to hear it, that is.'
Walking out into the cold open air, Sarah breathes in the fresh air, and thinks to herself "crap, it might have been a bad idea to not wear a bra." Snapping out of her thoughts, she then looks at Alexander, "Oh, yeah a walk does help me calm down. Phew, I just didn't expect it to be cold." She said with a flustered smile. "And yes, If you don't mind, I would."
[OOC: No sexy bits here, sorry] Alexander took off his field jacket and laid it around Sarah's shoulders, 'Here, wouldn't want you to catch a cold right before the first mission.' he smiled at Sarah. 'Maybe we should sit down for this, this might take a while.' he offered and pointed to a nearby bench. Sitting down, he started: 'Right, where to begin?' he went less cheerful and more sombre, 'As I told you, I was part of an anti-terror unit of the German police. It was a busy friday night, when we got a call from dispatch about a panic at a night club in Hannover. Arriving at the scene, medics and regular patrol cops were tending to several injured people outside, their statements were incoherent, some "thing" had attacked them. Then, we heard gunshots coming from inside. Our section leader decdided there was no time for further planning lest more people inside are hurt. We went in blind, very close quarters, any shot might go awry and hit a bystander or even one of us.' Alexander took a deep breath trying to control the emotions that came to haunt him in his nightmares, 'The gunshots died down, only the loud music was heard and we advanced slowly inward.' Visibly shaken, he paused and gulped, 'When we got the dancefloor, it was hell on earth, corpses littered the ground. A sea of blood slicked the floor. Some where still alive, half trampled by fleeing partygoers or trying to stop their wounds from bleeding. We could not make out any gunmen in the darkness and strobelight of the club. As I was the designated medic of our unit, I dove to one of the injured to give aid. She was so young, maybe sixteen years, I'll never forget those big blue eyes pleading for my help. 'While I managed to stabalise her, telling her it was gonna be alright, we heard a strange animalistic grunt, coming from the back of the club. My comrades took formation and slowly advanced on the source. I did not see what it was, but they began shouting and shooting at whatever it was. That's when I saw it. That bestial creature of crimson flesh and jagged teeth. It didn't flinch at being bombarded by dozens of bullets, and swiftly attacked the others. It tore them asunder like they were made of wet tissue paper. Bef0re long, the shots stopped again, and the beast stood alone among the gore of my comrades.' He stifled a sob. 'I was frozen in shock, kneeling at that teenage girls side, she wailed into my shoulder. The beast turned it's ghastly visage to us and started to approach us far more slowly than it moved before. Drawing upon us like a tiger on the prowl. I was powerless, and did nothing. I didn't raise my gun to defend myself. I could do anything.' He said getting angry at his own inaction. 'The beast came to a stop right before us and I swear I think it was grinning at us as I raised it's claw with what looked like knifes as digits. As his arm came down, the only thing I could do was to duck and try to shield the girl with my own body.' He paused again, this time more for dramatic effect to keep Sarah engaged, 'But we did not die, I saw a faint glow around me. A circle of strange symbols and runes projected on the ground around us and shimmering. The beast was repelled by it and could not get to us. But as suddenly as it appeared, it started flickering. And the demon was about to go for a second lunge when his chest was pierced by a red glowing katana. We were both drenched by the fountain for tainted blood that spewed forth.' 'As the light of the spell went out, I fainted. The next thing I know is, I wake up in some safehouse by the Association with Ms Yamagi telling me I was now a DHA recruit.' he took a deep breath of the cold night air, feeling a lot better at having told someone about his ordeal.
"Ah, thank you." Sarah said as Alexander gave her, his coat. Sitting on a nearby bench, she listened closely to Alexander's story. Seeing him struggle with sharing, Sarah held his hand, and whispered "It's okay," as she continued to listen. As Alexander took a deep breath, Sarah smiled and said, "Going through something like that, anyone would have nightmares." Her pained expression returned, and her grip on Alexanders hand tightened as she recalled the reason she was recruited by the Association. Sarah's expression then turned to shock as she let go of his hand. Her smile returned,as said flustered, "S-sorry about that. You, uh, feeling any better?"
Her flustered response only endeared her more to Alexander, he was glad for her support, her silken hand holding his was reassuring him, 'Don't be sorry, your hand holding mine helped alot going through that again.' He smiled at her, 'I fell a lot better, thank you.' He had noticed Sarah squeezing his hand harder at one point in his story, he had to ask, 'Are you alright? At dinner you alluded to a similar story,' he tried to look at her sympathetically, 'Care to share it with me?'
(Just a note, Alexander's backstory is fine, but demons aren't generally going to be going on gorey rampages full of blood and giblets. The only time they would is if they were exposed and trying to eliminate witnesses, strong enough that it doesn't really matter for them, or just not that intelligent. The demon in Alexander's backstory sounds more like either the first or the last. For the most part, the worst you'll have to deal with when being defeated is the demon getting rapey. Also hi, i'm still here. I was planning on moving over to the next day after you folks went to sleep the first time, but this kind of dialogue and backstory is fine. It's also less work for me )
Chuckled at Alexanders sympathetic look, "Y-yeah, I'm fine thanks... its just painful recalling it sometimes." She takes a deep breath to calm her nerves. "Well, since you've shared yours, I'll share mine." She said, taking another deep breath. "As I said, I was a cop too. Just a normal cop, patrolling the streets of Brooklyn." She said trying to sound cheerful, even though her fists were still clenched. "Then one night, my partner, Jonathan and I received a call from dispatch. There was some disturbance in an abandoned factory, and someone called thinking it was just a bunch of kids raving. We were the closest units, so we drove there immedietely. When we got there, the place was silent, but we had to make sure, so we entered the factory." Sarah paused for a second, to grit her teeth and take another deep breath. "It was dark when we entered, the factory was abandoned so there were no lights. But the stench of blood filled our nose, and I panicked. I wanted to call for back up, but Jonathan he... he wanted to check what exactly happened. So we delved deeper inside, with only our flashlights illuminating the dark interior of the factory. As we searched the place, the smell of blood got stronger, and almost made me puke, honestly. But Jonathan he was determined to find out what caused the smell, it was when we turned a corner, we saw it. Something was eating, at first we thought it was a large stray dog. But when it looked at us, with a severed arm in its mouth, I screamed like a little girl." Sarah tried to chuckle at her own joke, but her grief was clear. "It let go of the arm it was chewing, and approached us. It was snarling, but it was clear it wasn't a normal dog. It's skin was like a decomposed corpse, and its eyes... its eyes were glowing red. Jonathan pulled out his gun, and tried to scare it off. But the beast just got closer, it opened it's mouth showing rows of sharp jagged teeth. My partner shot it in the head by then, but that seemed to only anger it. It lunged at us, and Jonthan managed to push me away to dodge it. I fell on the floor, as I watched... I watched my partner empty his magazine, but the beast hardly flinched. It lunged at Jonathan and... ripped him apart." Sarah let out a sob as tears rolled down her cheeks. "It tore him apart, and I was paralyzed in fear. I saw my partners guts splatter on the ground, and instead of calling for help, he told me to run. And so I did, I managed to get back on my feet, and run away as my parter screamed in pain. I thought I managed to get away, when I got to the door. But I heard it, that heart-piercing roar, and I knew it was right behind me. I didn't look back, and made a bee-line towards the door. To my mistake, the beast lunged at me, and swiped with its razor sharp claws. I was sent flying, and thrown on the floor. I tried to stand back up, but the pain on my back was intense, there was a deep wound and I was bleeding out quick. So I tried to crawl away, but the beast was already on top of me. I closed my eyes as I waited for it to kill me, but then I heard gun shots and the beast bellowing in pain. I opened my eyes to look at who shot it, but my vision was already darkened, and I lost conciousness." Sarah sniffled before she continued. "I woke up in a clinic affiliated with the Association, or so the hunters that saved me said. They asked me a couple of questions, and before I knew it they had already recruited me." Sarah takes another deep breath to control herself, "Ah, s-sorry, i guess it was a lot more painful than I remembered." She said trying to put up a smile. (Whoops too late, I was just about finished writing this and it would be a waste to delete it.)
[OOC: Yeah, sorry. Sometimes I forget this is Sexual roleplay. I could rewrite it. Use sex instead of gore. Should have a similar emotional impact.] Alexander listened intently to Sarah's tale, feeling her pain. When her tears started flowing, he laid his arm around her and held her close. She finished her tale and seemed to calm down visibly but still with a pained expression. Alexander squeezed her shoulder gently and said, 'I'm sorry for making you relive that pain.' He let out a pained sigh, 'Look at us two: scarred for life and they send us to bring the fight to our tormentors.' He chuckled wistfully. Then, his amber eyes looked deep into her green ones and Alexander said, 'But I promise you, we'll make them pay a thousand fold. For Jonathan, for my comrades.' He paused and thought for a second, 'For us.'
(that's fine. I wouldn't expect you to and like i said, it's not like it couldn't have happened. I just kind of imagine the demons to be a bit more lewd and a bit less...er...."tear apart-y". I guess would be a good way to put it)
Sarah sniffled and wiped away her tears, Alexanders hand on her shoulders was reassuring. She smiled as she looked back into his eyes, "Your right, we're more powerful than before. Atleast I hope so." She takes another deep breath and leans against Alexander, "We should probably rest, if we still can. I guessing we're going to have a long day, ahead of us." (Sorry about that, I got too into the gorefest part, and forgot about the sexy bits.)
(I can't say there won't be the possibility of both, but the latter is far more likely than the former)
[It's kind of funny we came up with nearly the same backstory independently, though] 'You're right, let's head back.' Alexander disentangled himself from her and stood up from the bench. Looking back to her, He held his hand out for her to take.
(I think a good portions of ours were the same origanily, it is pretty funny) silas feeling more tired sits down outside the rooms and starts to meditate,focusing on resting his body for tommorow, and processing the information he was given today.
