"Well, you didn't have to put me down that hard?" She stated angrily, "And I have a feeling none of you're going to talk to me. So yeah I'll shut up now."
"Well, you didn't have to put me down that hard?" She stated angrily, "And I have a feeling none of you're going to talk to me. So yeah I'll shut up now."
The two soldiers with Kassidy literally sighed in relief. They pointedly avoided eye contact with her, gazing anywhere else.
Kassidy sits there, just staring at her lap wondering where she was and where she was going.
(I’ll be back in a couple of hours 😅)
(Okay, see you then!)
Finally, one of the soldiers glanced at Kassidy.
"What are you doing here?" They said in a gruff voice.
"I don't really know actually. One minute I'm saving this kid and his parents, with the help of my best friend on my coms, Andy, and the next I'm here" She states truthfully.
The soldiers glanced at each other, and an uneasy look crossed their face.
"It's just a drifter," the one who had spoken to Kassidy said.
"A drifter? What's…….a drifter?" She asks confused.
The only soldier who had spoken turned back to Kassidy.
"A Charie who just happened to get brought here. Nothing special about it."
"Mkay…Um..are their others that have come recently? Other then me that is." She asks.
Luna opens her eyes slowly before being blinded by the light. She looks confused before springing up and looking around cautiously. She pulls Zamaar, her scythe, out of its holder and says the curse activation words and the black smoke slowly appears followed by the soft screams of the souls trapped. She sense something different from the volume of the screams then before she can swing it she gets pushed to the ground by a invisible force. When she is pushed down she hears the sound of a engine and gets in the most defensive stance possible in the small restricted area.
"Not that we know of." The soldier looked at his partner, who had taped his shoulder. The silent soldier leaned forward, whispering something in his ear. The soldier who had spoken ' eyes widened slightly, but there was no way of knowing why.
An armored vehicle appeared close to Luna. It pulled to a stop by her, and two soldiers climbed out. This time, they had their guns drawn. One soldier kept his gun trained at Luna's head, while the other yanked her scythe out of her hands.
Luna lets out a growl but doesn't move as she sees that if she makes a wrong move she will be killed. She glares at the man holding her scythe her eyes traveling between his face and the scythe. “Give me back my scythe.” She says in an angered tone.
Kassidy tilts her head in confusion as she stares at the two guards.
Syzen gave them a glare of disbelief. A really aggressive one.
“One, who told you to do that. Number two, define your ‘screw things up’ ‘cause maybe we’ll have different definitions”
"I think not." He moved to the van, disappearing for a moment a he put it inside. Stepping out again, he bent down and hauled Luna up.
The guards with Kassidy conversed quietly for a moment, then fell silent. Something was different.
"Who do you think?" He said, motioning to their uniforms.
"The government decided our world can't afford to be dimensionally aware, so is our job to keep things like you out." The soldier seemed to be working themselves up.
"That's enough," the older soldier said, ribbing their forehead.
"You can't afford a repeat of last time."
Hinata opened her eyes, gasping. One moment, she had been at home with her husband. The next, here, in the middle of what looked like a desert. Trying to move, finds herself bound. Cursing under her breath, she tries to break free. She let out a hiss as whatever is bonding her tightens.
"Who do you think?" He said, motioning to their uniforms.
"The government decided our world can't afford to be dimensionally aware, so is our job to keep things like you out." The soldier seemed to be working themselves up.
"That's enough," the older soldier said, ribbing their forehead.
"You can't afford a repeat of last time."
Syzen gave the two soldiers with him a concerned look when they said that people like him were… things to them. He narrowed his eyes.
“You know that referring a person as a thing is not really polite right? Geez, manners people, didn’t they teach you this in primary? Or did the government decided to have a force full of idiots?” He said, mostly mocking them but his voice stated that he was being serious.
Luna examines them looking for any visible weaknesses, when she finds none she sighs, clearly angry. She watches the men with narrowed eyes. “Can I at least deactivate it?.” As she speaks it has clear anger and annoyance in the tone.
The younger soldier gave a curt laugh.
"Oh, feisty. You see here-" he motioned broadly, as if to the entire world, "you aren't a person. You're just a lowly character." He spat the word out.
"I said enough." The older soldier stared at both Syzen and the subordinate.
"Save it for the Agents."
The soldier with Luna scoffed. Ignoring Luna's remark, he dragged her to the van. Her scythe was no where to be seen. He set her down, and both soldiers climbed in. Banging on the wall, the vehicle started to drive away.
Syzen pursed his lips.
“Right… lowly character…” he spoke softly on his own. For some reason, he felt those words hitting home… not his home though.
“Uh… can you tell the driver to speed up? The anticipation is killing me”
The younger soldier seemed to want to give a side remark, but bite their tongue and kept quiet.
"You can wait a few more minutes," the older soldier said.
“Gotcha’” Syzen cleared that to the older soldier. He started to hum softly of what would be an unfamiliar song to the soldiers before her stopped and turned back to them.
“By the way, do you guys have names I could call you by? I don’t like the idea of calling you two Younger Jerk and Older Edgelord…”
(Oh my lord, you just made my day XD)
The older soldier thought for a moment.
"I am Soldier S. He is Soldier K."
(My pleasure XD)
“Okay… great names” Syzen commented, he tapped his chin a bit.
“Can I just call you two S and K? That’s easier for me”
"It doesn't matter anyway." Soldier S looked bored again. Soldier K snickered quietly.
Syzen looked down at his necktie.
“Since we’re already at it, you guys interested to the Zodiac?” He asked, wanting to break the really awkward silence between the men.
Soldier K sneered, turning away from Syzen. Soldier S, on the other hand, spoke up.
"Yes, actually." Soldier K looked shocked for a moment, then sneered again.
“Well, that’s nice to know that you’re interested in something I’m passionate about. If you two haven’t noticed this, my work is associated with Astronomy in so many ways. I even made it a part of me in a way” Syzen glanced down at his Zodiac signs patterned necktie.
