// Electric, it's a natural hiiiigh~

[starofchaos]

[Of all the things Liquid might have expected, this was not one of them.

He had walked into a room earlier almost without thinking, mistaking it for one he regularly visited. Realising his mistake he had, of course, swiftly left as fast as a man could leave without giving signs of fear. But as the day passed and little happened to harm him, he grew steadily more relaxed. That was, at least, until the electricity coursing through him began to manifest. A brief spark of annoyance, an unconscious exertion and shattered glass from the exploding corridor lights adorned the floor like snow, leaving a stretch of hall in total darkness. Liquid stared down at his hand as sparks crackled over it.

...that was actually both painful and entertaining.]

...the hell?

[Surely that was new.]

(ooc: So yeah, thanks to chat, Liquid now has lightning powers! ...for three days, at least.)

Enough to arm a small army.

[Liquid himself had no idea of the fate Emma would endure at Vamp's hands.]

[comp-kunoichi.livejournal.com]

[She heard about her fate, but didn't yet know which name to put to his face.]

Makes me wonder how he'd carry around enough knives,

[starofchaos]

They're everywhere. Even in his trousers. I don't even know where he keeps them all. I don't particuarly wish to.

[comp-kunoichi.livejournal.com]

Trouser knives... [She didn't want to know either. Probably for the best.]

[starofchaos]

Just avoid him if you can. He's a fool, but a dangerous fool with knives is worse than an intelligent person with them.

[comp-kunoichi.livejournal.com]

Avoid the man with lots of knives. Got it. Any special features I should know about? [She didn't want to meet up with a guy a Liquid didn't want to deal with, especially a knife nut.]

[starofchaos]

He's Romanian or Russian or something like that. Long dark hair, generally shirtless save for a bunch of straps. Very fast, dangerous and thankfully stupid as hell.

[comp-kunoichi.livejournal.com]

[Oh no...]

And a beard mustache combo? Very low voice?

[starofchaos]

Hm? Yes. I take it you've run into him.

[comp-kunoichi.livejournal.com]

[Emma nodded dumbly, collapsing onto her knees.]

How many of him are here?

[starofchaos]

Hey-! What's wrong? Are you alright?

[comp-kunoichi.livejournal.com]

One of them. He told me he killed me back where I'm from. No emotion in his voice or anything...

[And now she had a name for him. Vamp. Vampire. A monster.] How many of him are here, Liquid?

[starofchaos]

A few. More than I'd like. If you see him, just run. You can't fight him.

[comp-kunoichi.livejournal.com]

[Emma nodded, slowly standing.]

Maybe there's some kind of room around here that has a lot of silverware or light-bulbs. If the current is going to cause you pain, you need a way to discharge it to a safer level.

[starofchaos]

Light bulbs will explode. [He gestures to the curtain of darkness in front of them.]

Silverware might be an option. Perhaps I can raid the kitchens.

[comp-kunoichi.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to help with that, if you don't mind the assistance.

[starofchaos]

[Slightly teasing:] I suppose I can bear it just this once.

[comp-kunoichi.livejournal.com]

[She giggled, feeling better in general.] Alright... There should be one on this floor and two on the next floor down. I'd estimate that to be about one hundred or so pieces of silverwear.

[starofchaos]

That should be more than enough. [Oh hey, nearly slipped there. And there was another lightbulb.]

[comp-kunoichi.livejournal.com]

[Never satisfied with simply following, Emma led the way to the kitchen, walking inside and grabbing a basket from the counter. Into this basket, she chucked in every bit of silverwear she could find.]

If only I had a wagon or a barrow of some kind. We could take the pots and pans too...

[starofchaos]

[He'd have taken it off her if only it were possible. Young girls shouldn't carry weights like that when they're not trained for it.]

I know where there's a wheelbarrow.

[comp-kunoichi.livejournal.com]

You do? [That made her perk right up.] Perfect~ That'll make things so much easier.
