ROLEPLAY HQ - midnight-wings

TW: violence and gore (more may be added as story progresses)

"Well you seem awful calm for somebody who has an intruder in their home." Solomon commented, rubbing his neck after feeling how sore it was because he fell asleep awkwardly. He repositioned himself so his hand was at his side where the holster attached to his leg was located. He kept telling himself that if need be, it was just like all the others. @aionstempest

Ariel gave a half hearted laugh. “Well, it isn’t the most uncommon thing around here,” he replied, nodding toward all the nicer houses outside. “Intruders are around left and right. Regardless, it doesn’t really matter to me. I’m rarely in this house.” His green gaze looked to where his hand trailed and he tsked. How plain. “I wouldn’t try that if I were you.” Ariel turned his back and started cooking some breakfast. “Are you hungry?” @hypeness

Solomon paused for a second before giving a brief smile. "Why not?" He asked, getting up and walked to the wall opposite Ariel as he faced him. "You've done this before have you? I think I can tell, or I'm crazy. Both plausible assumptions." He suggested, shrugging as he looked around the home. @aionstempest

“No, you can tell. It definitely isn’t the first time I’ve come back after a good bit of time to find some random in here. You probably won’t be the last either,” Ariel said with a short laugh. “But to answer your first question,” he started, before looking at the other male straight in the eye. “A gun is nothing compared to the magic I know.” @hypeness

@Ariel Erebus (@aionstempest) - jump "Well aren't you special. I just suppose your house is easy to wander into." He replied, resting his hand at his side on his belt. It also happened to be the same side of him with the gun. "All I'm picking up here is that you think you're faster than me. Wouldn't be too far fetched to assume you've got a piece if you didn't have your fancy magic," He mocked, air quoting himself, "with all the people who just happen to end up in here- and again, all I'm picking up here is that their families don't see them very much anymore." He added with a slightly darkened tone.

Ariel just snorted finishing the food. “A lot can happen in the six seconds it would take you to draw a gun on me.” He handed Solomon the plate and leaned against the counter, serving himself a portion. “I’m never home, so I usually leave the door locked. Guess I forgot the last time.” “You take me for a killer by nature? Ouch.” Ariel said lightheartedly. “I’m not.” @hypeness

@Ariel Erebus (@aionstempest) - jump "Oh trust me buddy, I know your type." Solomon replied, giving a small grin. He was a little agitated but also quite confused by the lack of what he assumed would happen. He casually approached Ariel, giving an obviously fake, although not exaggerated smile before stopping. "Say, who do you think you're playing for a fool?" He asked, retaining eye contact.

“Well clearly not you,” Ariel replied with a shrug, taking a bite of eggs. “Just eat. I’m not trying to kill you. I don’t invite guests in just to kill them. Also, just because I’m physically heartless doesn’t mean I don’t have human emotions.” @hypeness

@Ariel Erebus (@aionstempest) - jump Solomon sighs.

19:00

"Fine, I'm starving anyways." He took the plate and began eating. His smirk quickly reverted and he furrowed his eyebrows as he took a bite of his eggs. He admitted to himself that they weren't too bad. "With my experience I'm surprised I'm not dead yet."

@aionstempest (I whoopsied and pressed enter too soon)

Ariel rolled his eyes. “I’ve already told you I’m not a killer, but it seems like it’ll take decades to convince you of that. Besides, everyone has a different experience from person to person I guess,” Ariel said. “Not all people are inherently bad. Sometimes bad things happen to good people without cause and it changes them for better or worse…” he trailed off with a distant sigh. @hypeness

@Ariel Erebus (@aionstempest) - jump "No I meant-" He paused to chew his food. "I meant... actually it's best I don't say." He concluded before taking another bite of his food.

Ariel only took one more bite before setting aside a mostly full dish. “I won’t take offense. I only judge fairly, never harshly,” he said quietly. “You can have whatever’s left if you want too.” @hypeness

"Don't take it personally." He said, looking at Ariel. He finished his own food before putting down his plate and stretching his arms. "If you were hoping to bribe me into telling you why I broke into your house, you've got me." He said before putting his hands in his pockets. @aionstempest

He shrugged. "Doesn't make a different to be if I'm being honest, but I guess you haven't come across too many decent people then," Ariel remarked. "At least if you think I'm trying to figure something as small as that out. There's a lot more problems for me than just trying to figure out how one person broke into my place while I was gone, but I'll bite. How'd you get in?" @hypeness

"The window, using some magic of my own." He said, holding up his hand and wiggling his fingers.

20:38

"Responded to me like a beauty."

@aionstempest

Ariel gave a snort of amusement. “So what are your plans now? I should be going off determine the fates of other.” Ariel looked at him. “Just because I determine their fates doesn’t mean I’m the one to also kill them. There are plenty of others who enjoy killing. I only do it when I must.” @hypeness

"Not sure what I'm doing now, seeing as I can't do much to you with- wait, why am I believing you? Who said you a-" He cut himself off to try to catch Ariel off guard and score as much time as he could go for to draw on him as it was only second before he grabbed his gun and began pointing upward. @aionstempest

Ariel gave a short laugh of amusement at Soloman’s epiphany, but he revealed his wings nonetheless. In the blink of an eye Ariel used his wings to sweep Soloman’s ankle from under him and knock away his gun. @hypeness

@Ariel Erebus (@aionstempest) - jump Solomon was immediately knocked on his ass and it wasn't long before he tried to get up again. He was going to try to catch whatever Ariel was going to throw at him next.

“I already told you I’m not an aggressive type,” he sighed impatiently. “There’s plenty of others who are, but it isn’t my nature, so stop acting like it is.” Ariel adjusted his wings and soon they weren’t visible to the naked eye. He offered Solomon his hand to help him up. @hypeness

@Ariel Erebus (@aionstempest) - jump Solomon felt salty about his quick defeat and decided to see how Ariel would react to threat of reinforcements. "Doesn't matter anyways, as soon as I tell my boys at work about my little adventure you're in big trouble." He said as he got up slowly since his back hurt.

Ariel looked anything but fazed by the threat. If anything, he looked amused. “I’ll look forward to all the potential outcomes then,” Ariel said, nonchalant. “When it comes to flight or fight, I prefer to figure a way out of a given situation.” @hypeness

"So you're a coward?" He said before throwing a pathetic punch. If this didn't work he was going to give up.

@aionstempest

“Would you rather I be a killer?” Ariel retorted icily, easily avoiding the punch. “Not all demons are bad, there are some good ones. We just tend to get grouped with that title and it’s connotations.” @hypeness
