DEIMOS
And in your darkest hour,
I hold secrets flame
Sometimes hunting was a necessity, and other moments it served as a distraction, a deterrent, a means of practice, honing skills and tactical measures. Perhaps today it was both: putting skills to the test, while allowing his mind to wander into the depths of precision and prowess, rather than anything else weighing it down. Here he didn’t require machinations or ruses, schemes or diabolical ministrations, just careful, hushed footfalls, patience, and accuracy. On his back were the familiar bow and its matching quiver, on his belt were several blades, daggers, and knives, and he’d left his rendered sled, now accompanied with wheels, over by the entrance of the labyrinth, eyeing the warren carefully in the early morning haze. The sun had risen, but just barely, intending to beat the heat, to not be worn town by alarming degrees and temperatures, while animals wandered and tended to their own sense of nourishments and meals. Whether or not his hunting partner would want to venture into the maze’s confines would be her choice – they could always seethe and torment those obnoxious squirrels if necessary.
So Deimos waited, in the press of the thickened woods, beneath shadows and hovering canopies, ready to embark into honed havoc. master of nothing place; of recoil and grace |

HOTARU Being a seamstress in a place like the Grounds means that she is often having warmer articles requested of her, and with her creation magic suddenly reluctant to work with her, Hotaru has to prepare for the end of LongHeat with furs and skins that will please her customers. Or so she would explain to anyone who may question why she is out on this hunt with Deimos. In reality, the maiden needs little to no reason to be coaxed away from her pins and patterns. Especially with the offer of violence and destruction on the table. She may be the epitome of beauty and grace, but Hotaru would sooner wear a swathe of fresh blood than an evening gown. At least she is lucky enough to have a brother in arms who recognizes this in her. Sunjata's dagger is lashed to her hip as it always is as she approaches, a simple bow and a quiver of arrows slung over her shoulder. Nothing quite so beautiful as Deimos' creations, but adequate. The arrow tips being metallic in nature is all she cares about. A dark, creative inquiry having drawn itself to the forefront of her mind as she had packed for the early meeting in the dense shadows where she inevitably finds Deimos. A question she hopes to answer today. "Any particular game we're hoping for today?" Smooth voice is slightly softer than normal, aware of delicate ears and creatures that cling to life nearby, not wanting to startle away their prey so early in the day. mother, make me a big grey cloud

HOTARU They come together like tectonic plates meeting, and their discordant desires are all the more destructively beautiful in chorus with one another. Hotaru's eyes move towards the furry devils in the branches at his words, watching their bodies race atop the Labyrinth walls as they call eerily into the air. "What a coincidence, because I do hate them. And I have a particularly delightful quest that involves fending off attacks with this little thing," she says with a wicked smirk alighting on her face as she pulls the crop Frey had given back to her out of the loop on her belt. Waving it around playfully so that the leather fold at the top waggles about. "So how about we go entice them into a game of Whack-a-Squirrel?" Hotaru will have to aggravate them enough to spur them into turning and attacking instead of fleeing, but that's just part of the fun in this little hunt. "And the runners can be lunch if we get peckish while we look for some bigger prey." She certainly needs a refresher course with her bow, and the big-tailed bastards will be more than adequate practice with how nimble they are. mother, make me a big grey cloud

HOTARU The folded leather taps rhythmically against her thigh as she grins back at her brother in arms. "To repel beastly attacks with the crop, and - far less fun - to get someone to switch sides. Loosely defined with what that entails." Of course, considering the deity she'd gone to and her own inclinations, Hotaru has plenty of ideas of her own to accomplish that particular task. Though Deimos surely doesn't want to hear about that. His assent is anticipated, appreciated. Despite the chaos and darkness of Caido, so few people seem willing to indulge in their based instincts. Even here she is still the equivalent of the monster under the bed, the bloodied maiden luring fools to their watery deaths. Dark, hopeless, distrusted. Deimos is not that way, is happy to bloody his palms beside her, even if it is only the blood of various woodland animals. They advance upon the gaping maw of the entrance, fearless and ferocious as the warning alarms go off in squeaky, mimicking voices. Hotaru grins and slaps her crop against the walls, sending a few skittering away with angry chitters more befitting their actual species. She continues to strike against the wall as far as she can extend, trying to force one into lunging or leaping across the chasm for Deimos to pluck from the air. mother, make me a big grey cloud

HOTARU Though she longs for a mightier weapon, for now she will simply have to utilize her crop. It is for a greater goal, no matter how frustrating her lack of power. Perhaps she'll keep it after her quest is through and use it for something more fun. That is a pleasant enough notion to keep her mood from souring. Especially once they advance into the space between the ominous, looming walls. Adrenaline begins to hum to life in her bloodstream as she and Deimos maneuver around each other, as familiar as ever despite their new physical forms. The squirrel Deimos aims for is sprightly and savage, the arrow sailing over its fluffy tail and glancing off the stone, sending it chittering angrily as it leaps from the wall. Whether to attack or escape is unknown, and never will be, because Hotaru's crop comes down in a punishing blow that strikes the annoying creature from the air. It lays stunned on the ground, and she swiftly throws her dagger to end its life before it has a chance to suffer. Or escape. Its brethren call out in their human echos, racing away as Hotaru kneels to retrieve her dagger. "One down," she jokes over her shoulder at Deimos. Entirely confident that his luck will improve. mother, make me a big grey cloud

HOTARU For all his prowess, luck alone can turn the tide of war. Even if it's war against squirrels. So of course Hotaru doesn't mock or tease for such a thing, confident in the man's abilities and intimately aware of how frustrating such a thing can be when you train religiously. Magic seems to be their next choice, and as Hotaru collects the limp body for skinning later, she turns her heterochromic gaze to where Deimos advances. Bearing down on the group with a broiling darkness they cannot hope to escape. Straightening from her crouch and idly wiping her blade free or blood, Hotaru watches as the first squirrel twitches and spasms, making a cacophony of confused noises as its life is abruptly siphoned away from its furry vessel. It falls off the wall in an anticlimactic relaxation of its entire body. Hotaru, dagger still in hand, electrifies the metal with a touch of her fingers and throws it with deadly precision. It's an imperfect strike, but the lightning is enough to finish the job when the blade only cuts across the squirrel's back. It dies dramatically, twitching and spasming until its organs shut down. "Look at that, we've already got enough for lunch. Well...for me," she teases as she bumps her hip against Deimos as she passes to retrieve her dagger once more. mother, make me a big grey cloud

HOTARU Deimos has long endured her teasing and antics, since she was barely more than a girl with big dreams and dirty morals. That has never changed, and her smile only warms at his fondly rolled eyes, at the familiarity of his presence at her side and the havoc they have always wreaked together. Havoc that hilariously grows as Deimos' fire reaches out into the space before them, only to be blown by the winds between the walls, sending the flames skittering against autumn-dry foliage climbing the stone. Everything goes up in flames immediately, killing a few squirrels and driving the rest in droves away from the pair. Hotaru gives a startled laugh, shielding her face and leaping away towards the opposite wall. But she's not intimidated, trusts that Deimos can wrestle control away from the natural elements to contain his own, and so she laughs above the crackling and slaps her hand high on the wall, electricity arcing up the stone to strike a running squirrel, sending it twitching and spasming off the wall to her feet. "Cooked or burnt?" She laughs easily, plucking her own victim from the ground. mother, make me a big grey cloud

HOTARU Hotaru is only too familiar with the frustration he feels, recalling the horrible learning curve she'd experienced when she'd first received her ball-lightning magic. Such a difficult skill to master, not that the hurricanes had been much easier. Especially when uncontrollable elements impart themselves upon you in the worst kind of way and tear down your finely honed efforts. As such she does not comment upon it yet again, waiting for the fires to die out against the stone as it consumes what remains of the foliage, leaving behind dark scorchmarks but with no fear of setting off a forest fire. Not that it was much of a worry as Deimos promptly douses it with conjured water, his nonchalance suspicious. Hotaru waves it off, giving him the space he needs to seethe over his failure as she counts the squirrels at her hip. "I think we have more than enough, care for some larger game? Or would you like to cook them up now?" No need for such things like pots and tables for these two, so well-absorbed in the entanglement of nature as they are. Fire and a spit is more than enough for Hotaru despite her pattern of indulgence and opulence. mother, make me a big grey cloud
