Inside the Shadows (sign ups still open)

[Natani--Fan.]

(( Everyone stats out in Jerusalem, either killing a target or in some kind of fight))
Nazo stared at his target, waiting for the perfect time to strike. Hours pasted by, he started his hunt at midday, and now it's about 3 past midnight. As his target began to wander away from his escort Nazo jumped off the roof he was on and stabbed him with his hidden blade straight into his neck. He then took out one of his white feathers and rubbed it across the dead mans neck, confirming he killed him. Nazo looked behind him at the targets escort, they watched him rise up and show them the feather stained with blood. They all ran at him but he used his smoke bombs and quickly killed them with his dagger. He stabbed one in his jugular, and another in his gut. The last one began to beg after the smoke cleared but Nazo shot him in the head with his wrist gun.

PS: I know it's a couple days early but I got tired and wanted something to wast some time

"Give me back my money!" I didn't take your money, I took the guy that took your money's money. Enmet stared at the obviously drunk man with a straight face. The man charged at Enmet and Enmet just side-stepped and stuck out his foot tripping the man. The man got up and charged again. Enmet caught the fist with his hand and delivered a swift uppercut right under the chin. The attack caused the man to go unconscious. Enmet looked around seeing that a crowd had gathered to watch the fight. Enmet turned around and climbed up a building and sat down on the roof out of sight from the ground.

*Maren had been lying ontop of the buildings roof for almost an hour now, having a heated debate inside his own head. His mismatched eyes flickered left and right, building to building, alley to alley as he tried to pick out anyone who could be percieved as a threat. However, being 3am, the streets were sparesly inhabitated, mainly by drunks or prostitutes out looking for a bit of money or a good time. It was then he heard drunken laughter from the room below. He blinked once, then as silent as a serpent slipped off the tiled roof and onto the balcony below. He lay proned on the cold marble floor for a few seconds, staring into the building with cold eyes and an even colder smile. A scantily clad women was being wrestled to the bed by a man in a rather fine purple cape. Drunken laughter could be heard from the room. After severel seconds observation, he got to his feet and made his way calmly into the room. The male, his target had his back to him, but the woman under him let out a yell of surprise. The drunken nobleman turned unsteadily, shot Maren a look of surprise, quickly reached out for a bottle on his bedside table then stiffened as Maren made one quick slice across his throat, severing his jugular and sending him to his knees, clutching at his throat. The woman screamed as she tried to back away on the bed, but tangled in the sheets found it impossible to escape, so she pressed herself as far back against the bed as she could, whimpering and whining*
"Lord Andrew Relgay, 37. Crimes Corruption, embezzlement and adultery."
*His voice was quite soft, lilting like a slightly timid childs, but upon mention of his crimes became deeper, slightly more menacing. He reached out and stroked the mans cheek, just as he collapsed to the floor dead. He daubs his paw in the pool of blood surrounding the man, his cold smile unfading, before turning back to the terrified and whimpering lady of the night and taking a few steps closer to her. He reaches out an arm, to which she recoils, becoming more frantic in her attempt to get him to leave her alone. He blinks slowly, then draws a slightly complex figure on her forehead with Andrew's blood, then steps back, crossing his paws on his chest.*
"With the blessing of the night, you have been spared. Turn your back on your sinful ways and come into the darkness, only there shall you find salvation."
*And with that, he slips out of the room by the balcony, hops up onto the roof, then retreats off into the night, his task completed and message past on, to one very confused and terrified woman*

Sebastian sighed. He had been waiting for his target to leave the tavern for over an hour, and impatience was getting the better of him. The man he was after was a nobleman, who, it had been found, was collaborating with various bands of criminals within the city, agreeing to keep them out of the eyes of the law for a share of their ill-gotten gains.
Well, it looks like I've found where he's spending it all.
Suddenly, Sebastian's ears twitched. The tavern door was opening. He looked out from the alley he was in, and watched as his target stumbled out of the tavern alone, and into another vacant alleyway. Gripping his sheathed dagger, Sebastian left his hiding place and silently approached.
Having to use the tavern wall to balance, the man slowly turned to face the figure closing in on him.
"Hey, I shed I'd pay them tomorr- hey who are you! Wha-!"
Before he had a chance to finish his sentence, Sebastian unsheathed one of his daggers and plunged it into the man's chest. Moving his head close to the man's ear, he said in a low voice:
"I am retribution."
He withdrew his dagger, and the man collapsed to the floor, lifeless. Looking down at the figure, Sebastian spotted a small coin purse tied to the man's belt.
Might as well not let it go to waste.
He quickly cut the purse loose and pocketed it, before sheathing his dagger. Leaving the body slumped in the alley, Sebastian departed, silently walking into the night.

Nazo looked around at the dead bodies, he then heard his voices in his head. He grinned at began to talk to them as he climbed up to a near by roof. He looked down and saw that he wasn't the only one on the hunt. He let out a mighty yell hoping to draw anyone's attention and hopefully kill them. If the voices told him to.

[superscalyfish]

"Don't you get it, yet?"
*Cora groaned, snapping off a few punches, winding the man. She stuck a foot between his legs, twisted his arm then threw him over her hip to the the ground, wasting no time in bringing her knee to his side. He sobbed pitifully, his face bruised and bloody, clutching his chest as she rolled her eyes. She hated the ones without any fight, let alone without dignity.*
"Listen mate, it's not my job to tell you how to live your life, just to help someone else tell you you've messed up. You drink, you philander... Sleep around... Sometimes you aren't home for several days... You have a wife and kids, come on..."
*She crouches beside him, paw outstretched, surveying the drunken otter with a slightly peeved stare as she adds*
"The ring. She wants the ring. Come on, hand it over... Just be thankful she isn't too vengeful, or I Would have to kill you, mm?"
*She then snatches the ring from the mans paw, turns on one heel, then sarcastically waves as she heads off, wondering why she always gets the boring contracts*

Sebastian froze as he heard the yell, his eyes darting from left to right. Looking around for the source of the noise, he spotted it - a robed figure perched atop a nearby roof. He crept closer, keeping a wary eye on the roof, until he was just meters away from it.
Upon closer inspection, Sebastian saw that the figure was a wolf, with one ear partially missing.
Well that's not something you see every day..

Nazo looked behind him. He seemed to be attracted to templar archers, as they walked closer Nazo took out his sword, laughing as he prepared himself for a fight. The templars began to pull out their crossbows but Nazo was faster, he ran up to one and decapitated him. The other stumbled backwards and was stabbed in the gut. The last one was little bit to far for Nazo's sword and shot at him. Nazo barely dodged the bolt and took a small leap in the air, stabbing the templar in his neck with a hidden blade. Nazo stood up and wlked back towards the edge of the building. He looked down at a hay mound and jumbed off the edge.

(If you never played AC this will be a cliff hanger )

Enmet was sitting on a roof watching the people go about their day, when he heard the yell. He turned around and saw a silhouette of a robed person standing on the roof acrossed the street. He saw what looked like it could be another assassain inspecting the yeller. *Hmm it could be a black hand... I better keep my distance* Enmet layed down on the roof so he'd be harder to spot. When the silhouetted figure attacked two archers and jump off the roof. *Well ones definitely an assassin but I'd better still avoid the other one.*

[superscalyfish]

(Not really a cliff hanger... And who hasn't played AC? X3)
*Maren is leaning against the wall of a building, his head lowered as he shuffles a deck of cards casually. His concentration doesn't waver from the deck, even as he moves one hand to brush away a strand of hay about to hit his ear. He briefly acknowledges Nazo's presence with a soft.*
... Brother?"
*Closing his eyes for a few seconds, as he stops shuffling, flips the deck, and begins to paw through, grinning, each and every card now ordered by suit and rank.*

[Natani--Fan.]

Just as Nazo hit the pile of hay a templar walked right in front of it.
"Easy enough." He said under his breath.
Nazo took took out one of his hidden blades and stabbed it right in his neck. The templar began to make a gurgling sound and was pushed into the hay. Nazo jumped out of the hay. His robes covered in blood he began to walk over at a templar controlled tower, with destruction in his mind.

*After a few seconds, Maren slips the cards into his pocket. He runs up a wall, kicks off the side, then grips the ledge of the building behind him. He hoists himself up, pauses to crouch for a few seconds on the roof, then turns and jumps onto another building, hopping about as he runs along the roof tops.*
"Ah... There he is... Where are you going brother..."
*He mumbles, half to himself. Having learned along time ago, never to speak out loud unless you want to be heard, he wonders if his hearing is astute enough to pick up on his voice, quite, a little raspy. He follows Nazo from the rooftops, matching his speed and not caring to be particularily stealthy; moving swiftly and silently, but wanting his brother of the night to notice him at the same time*

[Natani--Fan.]

If you really want to know were I'm going you must confirm your guild. Nazo said as he continued to walk.
After a few more steps he turned around, put his right arm on his left shoulder and made a slight bow.
By my brothers.
Nazo then turned back around and began to sprint towards the tower, craving to see it burn to the ground.

[superscalyfish]

"... Brother?"
*He looks after Nazo, a paw outstretched, a confused look on his face. Neram speaks up in his head*
"Haha, rejected..."
"S-silence! ... Lord Nazo must... Must just be too busy... To recognize me..."
"Well... What's the use standing here talking? Aren't you gonna follow him?"
*He stares dumbly at the ground for a second, before jumping a little, double-taking, then charging off after him, dashing and leaping from building to building, staying stealthier this time as he tries to find Nazo once again*

(As the leader of his branch, and due to his upbringing is why he refers to him as lord, lawl)

[Natani--Fan.]

AS Nazo reached the tower he saw only two templars at its front gate. Nazo slowly walked up to them, one tried to push him away but he stabbed both of them in their necks with his hidden blades. The sun was rising about the horizon now, Nazo had barly any sleep with in the last week. But the voices really wanted this tower gone so he obeyed. He was half way up the tower when an archer spotted him. Thinking fast Nazo shot him with his crossbow, hoping no one heard the templars yelling. By the time Nazo was at the top, the sun was half way past the horizon. He quickly pored oil over the top of the tower. The whole tower was made from wood so it should burn fast. Nazo grabbed a torch and threw it into the oil. Everything happened so fast. Before he knew it, Nazo had to jump off the tpwer into another pile of hay.

(I'll have Nazo leave Jerusalem as soon as some more people post)
