Gabriel, walked with silent footsteps through the woods. For the last few days he had been very busy and frankly, he had wanted to go for a stroll under the moon, with fresh air and the welcoming silence of the forest around the mansion, with a late night trip into Town maybe. But as he crossed close to a clearing he heard a familiar voice, that of the lady he had rescued from the dragon hybrid on the masquerade.
The gentleman smiled, changing his course to where the voice, and the music, was coming from, until he saw her sitting at the clearing.
She had been a very nice conversation partner in the past, so he could imagine that they again could have a nice chat.
"Good Evening my dear lady, I hope I don't interrupt anything important." He stepped closer to her. "I hope you still remember me from the masquerade." He smiled st her friendly.

The gentleman was actually positively surprised at the bow, noticing that this cultist was very polite even out of the formal act of a dance. "Oh, I just wanted to take a walk for a bit. I have been busy the last few days and it does tend to do me well, if I get a bit of peace outside, from time to time." He listened closely to her explanation and looked at the books on the ground.
"I'm sorry but I am sadly not a magical acknowledged creature either, I would love to help you figure this out, but I fear the only trick I can do is to get a penny from behind your ear. Of course that has nothing to do with what you want to train." he paused for a short moment. "But if I can be of any help else, I would love to assist you. I have a rather robust body after all and I do can listen to someone, that sometimes helps too."

The request of the other cultist fast and a bit unexpected. The man had not thought that he actually could be of any help in this, but had offered his help simply out of the reason that it was polite. But since Gabriel was a gentleman he would not decline this. "Of course. I can do that for you."
Pure fascination was seen on the vampires face when she started to get access to her power. Jeu did indeed look like she was in pain but she had told him after all to not worry, even though it made him quite uneasy to see her that distressed. But he was going to help her figure something out and Gabriel saw something he had not seen in his life before, so the vampire was in this moment glad, he had chosen to stop by and offer his help.
When the vampire saw the shield in front of him and heard her telling him to hit it, the cultist stepped foward, before punching the mana shield as hard as he could out of stand. He may not be the strongest cultist around but he was stronger than a human after all.

Gabriel scattered forward but caught himself before he could fall. He stood up straight again and smiled at her. "My pleasure." The vampire was a bit worried about her, he would not know what to do if she would lose consciousness, so he was a tiny bit nervous because of that possibility . "Do you maybe need something? You look quite exhausted." He stepped beside her.
The man noticed the music from her cloak, his head went to the side with a questioning look on his face. "If I may ask, what is this music and where does it come from? i do not want to be rude, but it is rather curious to me, you see?"

Smoke filled the air as a cigarette was lit. Dante resided in the mindscape, watching as bubbles that held different memories floated around him, most belonging to some of the animals that lived in this area, but a select few caught his attention.
Getting to his feet, he walked over to the bubble, caressing it in the palm of his gloved hand, pulling it to him as he watched the memory play out. "Well isn't this something...I wish I could pop this damn memory but it's important and I sure as hell don't feel like putting it back together when I'm scolded..." Dante said under his breath as he allowed the memory to float off with the rest.
Taking one last drag of his cigarette, he snuffed it out on the back of his hand, barely feeling the pain as it left a mark on the back of his hand, one of many scars that he hid. Pulling off his gloves, he lengthened his black nails into claws and concentrated, slicing a rift in the fabric of reality and the mind allowing him to step out of the mindscape and into a forest, closing the rift behind him as he looked around, his red eyes glowing dimly in the dark as his attention was brought by the sound of a very familiar melody.
Humming in time with the tune, he began walking in the direction of the song, finding himself at the edge of a clearing. He looked at two people standing in the center, one very familiar to him as his tail thrashed back and forth angrily, his eyes narrowing as he stayed at the border where the trees stopped, leaning against one of them as he watched the two.

"You remind me of someone..."
Clack Clack
"Someone who also loved to sneak around."
The voice seemed dull and almost 'a-matter-a-factly'. From Dante's surroundings, the air began to feel dry. It was a normal slight side effect that accompanied Nomen wherever he went; not too destructive, but it was out of his control. He seemed to have been on a stroll with his friends, getting to know the area around them. As usual, he found himself just wandering...it was a hobby of his to see where he would end up. After all, he is summoned to many places over the course of his current occupation.
Following the dry air was another side effect, one that only few can feel or even sense for that matter. Nomen made no comment about it, but having been in a similar situation he decided to test a theory. He and a friend had recently discovered this know fact and why not test it? Afterall, she was practicing with mana already.
"So... "
Clack
"I haven't seen you before...sorry if I come off as rude."
Clack Clack
"Might I inquire about a name?"

The vampire watched intruiged as Jeu took out the watch and started to talk with it. It was a pretty looking watch and even though watches were far from what he created, he wanted to look at it in detail to maybe catch some idea or too. He wondered if gems were used at some place in it.
"Well then I should say hello to the soul. Would be rude to leave someone out of the conversation. "Most of the time his first reaction to a lot of things was, being polite. Even more if he did not quite understand in which way he should react else.
"I suspect that there is no way to free the soul. " he then said, looking quite thinkful. Another presence interrupted him. His neckhair got up and his pupils grew a bit before returning to their normal form. Demon, he could smell it right away and not one he had met. "We are not alone anymore." He informed Jeu.

"My name is Dante, and who may you be--" Dante paused to glance at the person who snuck up on him. "Strange creature who has a very ominous aura..." The shifter finished. He was slightly startled by Nomen's sudden appearance, but it wasn't bad enough to the point when he went on guard and tried to attack the other.
Reaching into his trenchcoat, he pulled out a very specific cigarette. These ones weren't made the same as normal ones, instead they had a couple chemicals and magic mixed in so the smoke would have different status effects, paralysis, sleep, and miasma, his most used and the one he happened to be holding between his fingers at this very moment. Reaching into his pants pocket and pulling out a red lighter, he lit it and put it in his mouth and inhaled, then blew out a puff of smoke that managed to cause a few birds to fall out of their trees from the smokes poisonous effects.
"So...may I ask why you're here?" Dante said, looking down at Nomen with an incredibly bored and slightly irritated look in his eyes. His tail had ceased it's thrashing when Nomen arrived so the shifted decided to wrap it around his waist. He didn't bother to make eye contact with Nomen as he continued to watch the other two cult members, being very sure he should've been spotted by now, especially when he was smoking.

Nomen stayed where he was, neither flinching nor wavering as Dante's first instinct was to prepare to fight. Granted they have never met properly so he wasn't too surprised. He did however seem to stiffen up as he smelt the smoke from Dante's cigarette. It clearly had no effect on him, second hand smoke doesn't do much to the living undead. Inhaling a large sum of the smoke, his eyes narrowed as he exhaled; Sweeping his cloak over the bodies of the fallen birds, he continued to stare up at Dante.
Clearly this had some issues with his friend, Jeu. He briefly turned his head toward her.
"It is alright. I will come to you..."
Taking a brief pause to look back at Dante. Inching closer, from behind Nomen, the body of the birds seemed to have been completely scooped up inside Nomen's cloak. There was a shift in his tone, one of irritation.
"I am just informing our friend about the lethal effects of smoking."

Dante scoffed and plucked his cigarette from his mouth and came out of his hiding spot, a cold look still in his eyes as he stopped a couple feet from the three of them, snuffing out the cigarette on the palm of his hand rather than the back--almost every portion of skin there had a burn mark.
"Calling me a friend would be a stretch from both the term and definition of the word," Dante said, flicking away the snuffed out cigarette bud. He put one hand on his hip, very close to his gun holster if I may add, and another in his pocket as his tail whipped back and forth angrily before it came to wrap around his waist like a belt so it would cease its thrashing and wouldn't hit anyone in the process. He glanced down at Jeu's hand that was being covered by her sleeve and narrowed his eyes.

"Friend is universal term." Nomen quickly added
He eyed the few burns and the marks of possible self harm; Nomen thought it would be interesting to become acquainted with this one...then again he did just willingly kill innocent lives. They were safely tucked away in his cloak, but it still caused a slight trigger. Wanting to not cause another scene, he finally moved closer to his friend. He kept an eye on her, but then was changed toward the person with her.
Certainly someone he had yet to meet; as for the one currently next to himself, the one who currently seemed to have an attitude with him. His true species was unrecognizable to Nomen, but once again he didn't want to start a scene.
"I hope you evening is proven to be productive Jeu..." he took a more welcoming tone when addressing her.

Gabriel looked at the smoke and what seemed to be a person up to the trees. "He does not seem to be a Demon." He continued, furrowing his brows. "I clearly smell demon. It must be the one he informs of smoking." This was a bit unsettling to the vampire. He did not know why exactly but his instincts made his hair stand up in his neck. It was like the air was electrified and every moment something could happen.
The man looked at Jeu beside him, she must have felt something too because her posture had changed. She had gotten up from where she had been seated. Still, in the back of his mind Gabriel thought that maybe an interruption would help, and that he had not introduced himself yet, which was deemed rather rude.
"Hello, I have not met you yet, both of you, why don't we all meet here and talk if there are topics that need to be resolved?"
Conflicts where always Gabriel last resort, he preferred them to be handled verbally and if possible, with the least amount of violence as possible.

"You're one to talk...self proclaimed "game master." I happened to be in the mindscape when a very irritating memory bubble floated past me...should've popped the damn thing when I had the chance," Dante muttered the last part under his breath as he sighed and rubbed his temples.
"I think I've seen you around a couple times...never really had the chance to interact though," Dante stated, turning to Gabriel. "So may I ask what are you doing out here at this time? Other than to speak with this one," the shifter said, giving a side glance to Jeu before turning his attention back to Gabriel, waiting for his response.
He began fiddling with his lighter, watching the small flame bend and waver from the slight breeze that began to blow. Reaching into his coat, he pulled out another cigarette. He only smoked if he was in the worst of moods, and this happened to be one of them. He put the cig in his mouth and lit it, inhaling the toxic smoke and making sure to blow ouut a puff away from the group.

Listening to what Jeu told Gabriel, the man nodded at the cultist that had been introduced to him as Nomen right before the game master told him about Dante. The vampire took a more defense state himself on just how the other replied to Jeu. She had at least tried to be somewhat polite which Gabriel appreciated rather much, but he did not seem as eager to stay in a mannered way.
At Dante's question, no, rather a demand, he actually felt flat out insulted and raised an eyebrow. "Excuse you, but you may not. I do not owe you any answer, sir." Gabriel replied back.
The only people that were allowed to ask such a rather private thing were either very close friends or higher ranked cultists, much higher ranked. But since this was obviously not the case Gabriel just felt offended, at least on how the other had asked him.
Instead he turned to Nomen. "It is a pleasure to meet you. A friend of Jeu is also my friend."

Taking his attention and his rather death inducing glare away from Dante, Nomen readjusted himself. Returning to his normal face which he would insist to those who ask that he was instead holding a smile. Though it looked as if he wasn't.
"It is nice to meet another friend. My name is...is Nomen, though most don't know I have a name." he gestured to his tag around his neck.
I do hope you would forgive this rather...rash and unwanted interruption." he gave an apologetic nod.
So far he was liking this one, he would have to remember to tell his friends; other than Jeu, Nomen hadn't made many friends in the cult. Well other than his friends he kept close to him; they gave squeaks and rustles from under his cloak.
" The same goes for my short introduction." he looked apologetic again, but with a slightly more obvious smile.
"I'd welcome the embrace of our hands, but a rather unfortunate event we'd in."
Pulling his cloak back to reveal his hand; he wouldn't have blamed Gabriel's resistance to physically interact with him. The sight of his decay and almost rustic look of his dark grey and ancient looking hand, not to mention his rather sharp tipped fingers.
