4th ][ ACTION/VIDEO ][ GHOULS

[huichen]

[Despite his pride, Creeping Dust has begun this video with the intent of requesting help. This is not something he would usually do. He is a leader and a loner, and incredibly arrogant when it comes to his self-sufficiency. However, he is also not usually attacked by those he trusts most deeply.]

Excuse me. [His voice is tight, strained.] I--

[Before he can continue, he's forced to jump back in order to avoid the swing of an enormous axe.]

Hawk. [It's a pleading tone, and he receives no reply. The man he's speaking to is twice his size, nearly seven feet with broad shoulders. His skin is brown and tattooed heavily, patterns that may be familiar to those inclined to notice such details.

Another voice makes the necromancer go taut and still,]

You abandoned us, brother.

[And while he is frozen, the axe is swinging towards him again...]


[[ooc; Life is being wrrretched, so I will be a backtagging backtagger on all of my posts. Thank you for your patience.]]

[Oh yeah. Well, Theo'll just wait until he's done with praying. You don't interrupt prayers.]

[huichen]

[This has not been fun, but Qwe eventually slouches to his feet, head hanging low. He doesn't answer Theo's question, instead returning it,]

Are you alright.

[deadmanbusiness]

I've been worse.

[huichen]

Noted.

[There's blood on his face. He doesn't try to wipe it off, merely flicks his hand once to fling it off his black gloves.]

[deadmanbusiness]

You?

[huichen]

[He frowns, brows pinching. He's not that great. But he's never going to say that. Beyond his Ghost Dog stubbornness, he is a general, a leader.]

I am unharmed.

[deadmanbusiness]

[So, not that great. Because unharmed is a bit obvious.]

That's good. Who was that?

[huichen]

Hawk.

[Which answers all questions, right.]

The other was my brother.

[He glances around slowly, wondering where the other has gotten to. Personally, he's glad it's gone.]

[deadmanbusiness]

[Theo's lost track of the guy.]

I didn't seen any family resemblance.

[huichen]

I'm more handsome.

[It's an automatic response that in normal circumstances would register as a joke.]

[deadmanbusiness]

I could tell.

[Theo adds his own automatic response to the what in normal circumstances would be a joke as he does that enough back home.]

[huichen]

[Good. That's all Qwe asks.]

Is there some reason you wander the street?

[Let's change the subject. Yep.]

[deadmanbusiness]

Keeping the ghouls off of people long enough that they can get away.

[He shrugs.]

[huichen]

Very benevolent.

[Is that the kind of god you are, bro?]

[deadmanbusiness]

[No. That's what kind of man he is.]

[He shrugs.] Less messy.
