Mr. Blue Sky. (Raven)

[Azazel & Rhoderick and Almond]

{{By ELO, the second song I ever covered with a band}}

Azazel grinned as some of the ice-cream he was eating dribbled on his chest. The new york summer sun was beaming down on him and his "brother". It had been a week since their encounter with Jay, and so, a week since their encounter with someone that had explained to them what the hell had been going on these past few days.

Azazel's first reaction was to faint. Then about ten minutes later they managed to wake him up, and he screamed and backed into a corner, leaving the 15M radius, and so pulling Rhoderick to the ground. The demon got up, and went to his counterpart and gave him a sharp slap across the face. THis was very un-characteristic of him, Azazel noted, but, at least he ahd been kind enough to get him out of his inane stupor.

They'd been given apartments at the university, and had been told that they could stay there as long as they wanted, but that it was highly recomended that they learn about their trait.

Rhoderick had found the whole ordeal fascinating, and almost jumped at the prospect of learning his ability. He had even let Azazel go out of an ice-cream after their first lecture. And so, the two oddballs had ventured into new york, taken two wrong turns, beaten up a gang that had tried to kidnap them, and got some ice cream before heading back.

Rhoderick could tell that something mighty weird was going on. He could feel someone strange around him, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why or how. He shrugged it off, telling himself that he was in an academy full of supernatural beings. Of course it was supposed to feel weird.

((Hope this will do I'm not sure how to make an entrance.))

The dark corner of the Campus Grounds made a perfect place to hide He noticed two people that stuck out Shadow thought he'd seen them before maybe somewhere out in the city. The Soul eater rested on his waist although it was one of those two in one weapons it was also a comfort object, he could fight without it but having a weapon always made him feel safer.

Shadow sighed deciding to talk to the two kids he approached them slowly. For some reason he felt a strange feeling coming from them.


((you can see his weapon here fc08.deviantart.net/fs48/f/2009/182/3/4/Ragna_The_Bloodedge___Banner_by_argantes.gif it's on his back))

[Azazel & Rhoderick and Almond]

Azazel turned sharply, instantly spotting the figure approaching them. Rather, the first thing he spotted was the large sword. He nearly dropped his neopolitan/bubblegum/caramel flavour ice cream with sprinkles on top. Nearby, some of the grass died, as he accidentally used his trait.

"Wow. That thing looks... awesome" said the redheaded demon, turning his ehad upside down. Azazel had a habit of doing that, ever since he had learned that being a demon meant that he could change shape. it also explained the reason he never got drunk, and only got high when he wanted to.

Rhoderick sighed. He had noticed Azazel let his powers slip. That could be a very dangerous thing. What if he had, indeed accidentally made this strange man with the sword decay? Ok, he wouldn't have decayed but Rhoderick reckoned that the process of decay would eb changed for aging in the case of living things, as that's what aging was.

"Azazel, that thing could kill you in one blow. Don't even think about touching it." Said the black haired demon in a dry, flat tone. He withdrew a bottle of illegally imported irish whiskey, and took a deep swig. That was the stuff.

[whiteraven]

Shadow figured that these two were demons, he didn't hate demons he just had bad luck with them. Noticing the grass decaying he jumped back thinking it might affect him. It stopped then he walked around it. "It's called the Soul Eater." He said pointing to the sword. "Sadly it doesn't eat souls If only..." He smiled then he noticed the whisky "If you've got anymore of that I'll pay you for it." He said with his eyebrows raised still smiling.

Shadow took his palm and slapped his forehead "Oh right you two don't even know who I am. I'm Shadow Chrestmire or Shadow the Bloodedge. and I didn't come up with that nickname myself some other guy did it just kinda stuck." He look at the red haired then the black haired demon. "Might I ask your name?" He asked politely.

[Azazel & Rhoderick and Almond]

Rhoderick looked at his bottle, and at the stranger. Best not to alienate someone with a sword with a name like that. He thought, holding it out.

"Here. just take it." he said, soberly. He didn't even like the stuff anyway. That was a fat lie. But oh well.

"I'm Azazel and this is Rhoderick." Azazel said to Shadow. "It's a pleasure, dude." He said, stuffing the ice cream into his mouth and swallowing. Azazel loved ice cream. it was like a drug to him. He also loved it poetically - no matter how cold it was, it always made him feel warm and fuzzy inside. He sighed, and turned abck to Shadow.

"So, what you doin' here? I ehar this place won't take people jsut cause of their swords, y'know." he said, winking and laughcing.

[whiteraven]

"Uh, they didn't let me in I'm here because I've got stuff to do. If they have a problem with that..." Shadow's eye jerked to his sword He took the bottle and held out a one hundred doller bill. "Your pay." He said nearly forcing it into Azazel's hand. Shadow's eyes shifted back and forth as if someone were watching him.

So far these two were friendly and Shadow hoped it would stay that way after all he had no intention of attacking or picking a fight these two didn't seem that way either so the question was why was he worried?
He shrugged it off.

[Azazel & Rhoderick and Almond]

Azazel took the hundred dollar bill as payment for his brother's bottle. He gazed wide-eyedly at the man, and guessed that he'd rather not impart where he got such a large sum of money from. He decided that he didn't want to ask for change for that much money, as it'd be kind of embarrasing, and he's have to fight off a load of mafiosos, so he took out a pouch of opium, and packed it evenly along the note, before licking one edge and rolling it up. He pulled a light from the pocket of his baggy rainbow-coloured trousers, and lit up, drawing the smoke deep into his lungs.

Rhoderick, on the other hand was flabbergastered by his brother's literal money-burning and he gazed at him, wide-eyed. What on earth was that cat doing? He almost decayed it right in his hands, but that would be a further waste, so he simply glared at the oblivious fool a little longer before turning back to Shadow.

"They didn't exactly let us in ehre either. We wandered in. Actually, we only recently found out that we're demons at all." Rhoderick said, with a snide little laugh at the end. Not that Shadow actually cared. He was probably wondering why the hell someone was smoking opium out of a hundred dollar bill.

"You really didn't need to pay my idiot brother, y'know." Said Rhoderick, walking towards a nearby bench. "Anyways, what "stuff" you got to do here?" He asked, calmly.

Azazel turned his head sharply, the drug already starting to take effect. "Did you pull a heist?" He giggled, before rolling his head around and around, gazing at the sky. It was usually red, right?

[whiteraven]

At the heist comment Shadow made a soft laugh. "That would have been kinda cool." Shadow said as he thought about it for a few seconds then noticed the drugs. Wonder where I can get some of that stuff. He thought to himself then went on to respond to the question.

"I'm looking for someone she shows up here every day she should be here in about an hour then....I'm going to kill her." He said plainly as if it were no big deal. He went on, "The way I figure it's one less evil in the world."

[Azazel & Rhoderick and Almond]

Azazel looked at him, and nearly swallowed his joint. Kill someone? That was... harsh. He was, however, more concerned about the dizzying colours flashing about him, and he sat down, trying to pop all of the bubbles that were appearing before him.

Rhoderick was also rather alarmed. Killing people was never good, no matter what they'd done. And, especially a girl. Girls generally didn't do much wrong, did they?

"Shadow, do you really think killing people is a good idea?" He asked, his eyes going distant. "I like to believe that god is quite lenient, but killing things isn't a good idea." Rhoderick was a firm believer in a deity - not necessarily any religion, as religion was the opposite to what a god wanted, in his mind, but he guessed that that in itself could be a religion too. He liked to believe there was someone watching over him, because it made his miserable existence worthwhile. And no-god would enjoy their creations being destroyed, or broken, which was partly why Rhoderick was so pacifistic.

"Just, some, y'know, friendly advice." He said, glumly. A part of Rhoderick hated being alive now, just because he learned that his trait was decay. The very process of ending life.

[whiteraven]

Shadow knew where Rhoderick was coming from and would have agreed....normally "This one is different I know thats said a lot but it's true this one was a girl that's changed so much that...if she keeps on living, she'll just keep suffering. She was my girlfriend until she went missing I found her one day but she was so different so almost not living like she was there but she had no soul, no emotions....nothing."

Shadow shut his eyes, his phone vibrated "One second I got a text." He said as he read it his eyes got big REAL big. His emotions were mixed now sadness,anger,and shock went through him all at the same time. a picture was sent as well but Shadow didn't know who it was from. He looked at it and saw Katana's body laying there in a pool of his own blood. "No, it......can't be." His phone rang "Hello?" Not realizing he put it on speaker phone he listened to the all to familer voice.

Hi Shadow boy wow your voice is sooooooo much deeper now I remember when you were a little shit. Katana's last request was to send you one final text and a picture of me. Then he died after my chains went through him oh what fun!! Anyways thought you should know something He's dead so very very dead so very very dead. So fuc-

Shadow threw the phone into the air and pulled his sword and sliced the phone in half. He grit his teeth, "I'll kill him REAL REAL SLOW FOR THIS!!"

[Azazel & Rhoderick and Almond]

Azazel snapped out of his drugged daze. He had an amazing ability to come down from being high in intense situations, which he now guessed was a direct result of being a demon. He glanced at the picture and listened to the voice, his eyes going wide. His vision was still dancing a little bit, and the colours weren't quite staying the same but he wasn't feeling completely out-of-this-world.

"Shadow, do you know that guy!?" he asked. "I'll kill the guy that killed him!" Azazel said, in a sudden outward burst of emotion, his grin rather grim, and creepy looking. The look of horror on Shadow's face made Azazel want to fight, and destroy whatever it was he needed to. he had no idea how, as even he realized that he wasn't totally with the world, but with guidance, he would help people as much as he could.

Rhoderick looked away. The demon didn't like anything with blood, and almost resented Azazel for saying he could fight. Rhoderick hated all that stuff, he'd rather just sit around and wait for everyone else to do it. It didn't make sense to him why people fought anyway. He had been in a fair share of fights, and he'd won all of them, but he hadn't enjoyed it.

"Calm down, dude." He said, trying to lower the heat of the mood. "First you have to find him, for any of that." Said the black haired demon.

[whiteraven]

"He's the only person on Earth that I fear. His name is Zain, like to mess with people then kill them. I'm not just going to kill him I'm going to make him suffer so much he'll beg for me to kill him. But I won't be anywhere near done. He sighed.

I've always hated the girls back where I came from but one of them had a baby Zain helped bring it into the world then he twisted the baby's neck until it broke he's killed little children no more then a day old just for fun and he smiled about it. " Raven's eyes had that 'I'm going to make him suffer so much' look.

"Do either of you know Ivao Flintslicer, Or the Priest of the Buried Country? I need to find one of them first."
