I'm bored so... Character chat anyone?

Blight: Shudders
Man, of all the demon shit, nothing is like Corruption. About as bad as the 'abom…'

Ragnor: His eyes suddenly snap open
Don't even say those cursed things names right now…

Blight: Instantly shuts up, drawing his wings closer to himself to hide

Eve: Sighs, sitting down on her master's shoulder, ears laid back

Ragnor: Closes his eyes again, exhaling a cloud of smoke
If you're gonna listen in, try to be less discreet about it miss
Doesn't even glance over as he speaks
Eve, mind taking over with questions and such should they want to know more

Eve: Gives a soft chirrup, lifting off of Ragnor's shoulder, flitting over to the rest. Her voice is soft
Apologies…normally my master is pretty laid back, but the recent event we had to take care of has brought back some bad memories for him…

Cinthia shrugs, continuing her work I completely understand. I have my own demons to face, figuratively and literally speaking. She pursed her lips. I was simply listening for curiosity's sake.

Tess twisted her mouth to the side, contemplative. You good in a fight?

Eve: Hovers near Cinthia
Tis understandable to listen, especially when it comes to new information. Though if you wanna know anything, simply ask and I will answer what I can

Cinthia turned her computer to show Eve a picture. It was of a tall man with sharp fangs, long, black hair, pale skin covered in malicious tattoos, and a bloody whip in his hand as he grinned at them with obvious sick delight Is he a part of his corruption you speak of?

Tess placed her hands on her hips You want to learn how to fight with an actual weapon? Like a staff, maybe? Those suckers pack a serious punch if you use 'em right.

Tess grins happily at Runner's decision then pulls him down one of the halls, leading him to a large training area. She picked up a wooden staff and tossed it to him Catch.

Tessa nods Good, you can at least do that. Then, in the blink of an eye, she was upon Runner, swinging a fist at his face

Eve: Tilts her head, looking at the screen, not used to strange devices. twitches her tail, then simply shakes her head
Not even close…sorry
The corruption is created by a demonic like beast, a spider-like monster that goes by 'Archanevour Lieweaver'.
It is he who has created the corruption, and it is he that controls it. The corruption tends to hate living things, any living thing. It spreads swiftly, by parasites.
Parasites find a suitable host, infect, then twist the host into a grotesque creature that is drawn back to a hive. Only known thing to kill Corruption is dragon fire

Cinthia snorts, unamused then you should bring Tessie along with you. She's all dragon fire. She then tilts her head Spider-like monster… Sounds like Arachne, a demon queen. Though, if you give her some chicken, she'll love you forever. Not exactly someone prone to causing corruption.

Tess expertly jumped and twisted in the air, landing behind Runner in a crouch. She prodded his cheek and handed him a small caramel-colored cube Here. This'll heal you. Reflexes Runner. Reflexes.

Eve: Frowns
That may be, but the corruption is powerful enough to even infect dragons who do not know how to deal with it
One slip, and they will fall
Ears lay back
Though there are worse things than the corruption

Ragnor: Opens one of his eyes, looking over
'Abominations', creatures that I'll wipe out to the bitter end
Glances to the arm and hand covered by the metallic gauntlet, seemingly staring at it for several moments, then shakes his head
Damn't…just wish I could forget sometimes…

Tessa pulled him to his feet, then picked up a staff of her own and spun it between her fingers You can only run for so long. Better to learn how to fight and not use it than not know and get your ass whooped. She got into a fighting stance Copy me.

Cinthia bit her lip as she glanced back at Ragnor I could probably help with that… She whispered reluctantly

Tessa slowly went through the basic movements, guiding Runner herself occasionally, focusing on defense as opposed to offence.

Tessa: Good. You're doing better. See if you can keep up. She sped up her movements, though not nearly as fast as she had been at the start. She swept her staff towards the floor, nearing his feet

Ragnor: Turns his head, actually looking at Cinthia. His eyes narrow, glowing ever so slightly, but then return back to their soft green of earlier. Moves to rest his arms against his chest, finishing his cigarette, then crushing it under his boot
I know you only mean well, but I will carry this burden myself
There are a few back home to help, plus the reserve keeps me going
Tilts his head back, staring at the sky
She would've wanted me to keep going…

Eve: Moves, coming to rest on Ragnor's shoulder. Purrs softly

Cinthia actually lets out a relieved breath, then flushes red in embarrassment Sorry. I don't mean to be rude. I just happen to have the ability to ease that burden, though at a cost to myself. Last time I offered… She trailed off, fists clenching in anger

Tess's foot shot out, hooking around his legs and knocking him to the ground in one swipe. She flipped the staff and pressed it against his chest
