Re: Runic

OOC: Oh shit, forgot about James and Isabella. Think of this guy as Natori from Natsume's Book of Friends.

A young man, probably in his mid-20s, appeared to be waiting in front of the warehouse for the two new Runics. He was dressed like a detective, but if anyone got close enough they would see the Rune crawling around his face.

Sam took another cookie from the jar, this one chocolate chip. "Mom would think I'm studying with Kaizo if I told her. If it ends up going for a while, I'll cal her and say they invited me to stay for dinner." She shrugged.

[blackoutEquinox]

"Oh so I have to cook now?" Wayne asked with a slight grin. He was trying to poke fun at these people to lighten the mood. "If I have to cook we'll have to go to the store and buy some groceries. Unless you two want bread and milk." He started making a list of stuff he needed because he would need to go by tomorrow. Wayne looked up from writing his list. "If you eat too many cookies you'll spoil your dinner." He told Sam flatly, attempting to come off as dead serious.

James stopped when he saw the man. Wait...those markings!

[Rose Hathaway]

"Oh, I'll make Kaizo pay for fast food or something on the way home." She smiled, nudging the Runic. She then made a point of grabbing another cookie and taking a giant bite out of it with a smug grin on her face.

[Shadoe Mayari]

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Kaizo said, rolling his eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you," the man said, tipping his hat. "I'm here to help."
Isabella hid behind James, frightened of the strange man. Her leg was still slowly healing.

[Rose Hathaway]

"Unless I fill up on cookies, at which point it doesn't matter." Sam took another bite. "Mmmm."

[Book the Hero]

"Who are you?" James asked.

[Shadoe Mayari]

"Ah, yes. Name's Andrew," the man said, taking off his hat. Other than the one floating around on his face, one could see a few Runes on the side of his chin and neck.

[Book the Hero]

James frowned. "Why should we trust you?"

[Shadoe Mayari]

"Because I saved your asses out there," Andrew said as a paper doll flew out of his hat. "And I'm probably one of the few Runics around who won't try to kill you."

[Book the Hero]

James froze. "You..."

After a moments thought, he stopped. "Ok...Mind explaining just what happened...and how I'm now conjuring fire from my body?"

[Shadoe Mayari]

"Your power comes from those Runes," Andrew said, pointing at the Rune on James's arm. "When that Madness Runic grabbed you, it transferred some of it's Runes to you." He nodded to Isabella. "Same with you, Miss Watson."
"H-how do you know my name?" the girl asked in surprise.

[Book the Hero]

"...Is there a way to get rid of them?" James asked, deciding to go along with it.

[Shadoe Mayari]

Andrew shrugged, ignoring Isabella. "None that I know of. There is a way to keep them from growing, but I don't see why you would want to do that now..."

[Book the Hero]

"What happens if they grow bigger?" James asked.

[Shadoe Mayari]

"You become more powerful," Andrew said with a shrug, glancing over at Isabella. Obora...

Wayne watched Sam eat another cookie regardless of what he said. He smiled at her again and wondered why they hadn't talked to each other before. Likely because she was an underclassmen and also because they had never had any of the same classes. He reached into the jar and grabbed a sugar cookie and began to nibble on it. "You kids need to lighten up," he spoke aloud to the two in his apartment. He opened up the fridge to see if he could find anything new this time. He moved around a few containers and checked the egg box. He found 3 eggs and 6 slices of bacon in the back. "Does bacon and eggs sound good?" he asked aloud.

[Book the Hero]

James nodded. "...Who was that guy who attacked us?"

[Shadoe Mayari]

"No clue," Andrew lied. "Another Runic."

[Rose Hathaway]

"Yum! I love bacon!" Sam grinned. "That stuff's the best! God damn it, just give it here. You kids can have the eggs."

[blackoutEquinox]

"Hey hey hey! Calm your nuts kid, I gotta cook it first you know." Wayne was honestly not that surprised at Sam's love for bacon, who wouldn't love it? He turned on two burners on his oven and threw a skillet onto each one. None of his spatulas were clean so he just grabbed a couple clean forks to use for the bacon and the eggs. He put a bit of oil in one skillet for the eggs and as he waited for it to heat up he asked the two people is his apartment, "How do you like your eggs and bacon?"

[Rose Hathaway]

"Scrambled with cheese please." she said. "Bacon I like chewy. I'll chew it all day long." Sam giggled.

[blackoutEquinox]

Wayne cracked open an egg over the oiled skillet and threw in two pieces of bacon into the other skillet. He took a fork and immediately started to scramble the egg. When that part was done he went to the fridge for a bit of mozzarella and put that in with the egg. He turned over the sizzling bacon and a bit of grease popped onto his hand, causing him to flinch slightly. Soon the food was done and he actually didn't burn it, which showed his growing culinary skill. Wayne put the plate of food on the counter for Sam to get, putting a clean fork on the plate before he forgot. Wayne put more oil in the egg skillet and looked at Kaizo, "How do you want your bacon and eggs dude?"

[Shadoe Mayari]

Kaizo shrugged. "Don't care."
