[As usual the view isn't directly facing him. He's not one for using phones and it shows clearly. Private conversations face to face are more of his style. There were certainly no smart phones or mobile phones of any kind. He's not even looking at the camera. He just turned it on and it just so happened to be video.]

[Then out of nowhere there is a sudden text:] Besides these emotion induced events just how many have you killed?

|Action|

[After that little 'prank' earlier he was itching to get out of his apartment and onto the streets. Now that he was in a mood, Exorcist hunting was the best option at the moment to soothe his nerves since he lacked the usual nicotine and other pleasures that kept him at bay. He could already tell that Hadriel was screwing with his ability to pinpoint Innocence whenever it came into range or else Kanda's Innocence would've been already fully destroyed once he had killed him weeks ago.

To anyone that had an odd weapon or a strange appendage such as a demon arm, robotic leg, strange eye, odd pet, etc, he'd stopped them with a curved smile and his hand outwards in silent greeting.] Ah, that's a strange [insert item] you have there. Do you mind if I look at it for a moment?

[ It's not uncommon for Sharon to pull out the Seal of Metatron these days. It's not only a symbol of incredible familiarity, but a powerful artifact with attributes that she can barely fathom; the only thing she knows it's capable of for certain is revealing the true self of a person, usually something monstrous, or as a get out of jail free card from Silent Hill.

She's used it for neither, more trinket than weapon, but it's always on her person. Only an idiot would leave an artifact like this at home, or anywhere else. She draws her finger across the intricate, and deep etching, and then looks up at him a bit incredulously, one brow raised. She quickly drops the golden circle into her vest pocket, the settling weight familiar. ]

Sorry, family heirloom. [ She's a liar. ]

action

[prazerbutterfly]

[It catches his eye instantly. He's moving a little closer as his hands spread out to either side of them in a welcomed gesture. He wants to take a closer look but he can already tell she's going to be difficult. He can sense Innocence but he's not sure where. Normally he could just tell it was right in her pocket. That is, if that was imbued with Innocence.

It is hard to hide the disappointment on his face.] Oho. Is that valuable?

action

[unitas]

[ The man appears easy going, friendly, but that flash of disappointment as she slips the seal into her pocket leaves her feeling a brief wariness—though, she's always been wary: a necessity when you've spent the majority of your life being hunted by a cult (and let us not dare forget the fact that, just last month, she took Hadriel to another world and there are some still quite sour over it). ]

It is to the right people, but luckily, those people aren't here. [ The man before her could possibly be a thief, bored out of his mind, if he's looking for something with monetary value. ] Why do you ask?

[ The question is laced with suspicion. ]

action

[prazerbutterfly]

[She has good reason but thankfully she was a woman. He tend to not manhandle woman unless he had to or they were into that sort of thing when it came to more intimate moments. He had spent a lifetime hunting people and events that were supernatural in general. It usually meant the enemy or the enemy's weapon was around. He wanted to destroy.

As for bringing Hadriel to another world, he had really no objection to it besides his own monster. Tyki wasn't exactly weak but he hadn't liked to be teased so.] I'm looking for something. Normally I can find it easily if I am near it but this place is interfering. I just wanted a closer look.

action

[unitas]

Whatever you're looking for, it isn't this. [ Or, maybe, it is. But he didn't have the look of a cultist to him—no, those men and women had always been far more disheveled, gaunt and pale from years without real sun or real life. They had a rabidness to them that he lacks. ]

If it had been, you'd have known it the moment you saw it. [ But, then again, it's an object of great power, and people always seek power they don't have. She narrows her eyes, and tilts her head, looking him over. ] Why would you have to touch it to know?

[perceives_sunlight]

[ Goku, who had been playing with his best friends, the Rodents of Unusual Size (who he still thought were mangy and sad cats), looked up at the man who had approached him. The rats scattered away as Goku blinked up at him. He was tallllll. The small boy blinked up at him. At first, he had no idea what he was talking about. But when he saw Tyki's eyes on his diadem. ]

[ Those eyes though, they were gold just like his. A part of him told him that was important for some reason, a nagging feeling... but he couldn't recall why. It must have been something from before the cave, if there was a before. However, he soon came to his senses, remember the other had asked him a question. ]

Oh... this? [ Goku pointed up to the shimmering, golden circlet on his head. ] Uh...

I'm not allowed t' take it off.

[prazerbutterfly]

[Yes, Tyki was rather tall compared to a lot of other people and with the way he always was close and personal he likely towered over the shorter boy. He seemed innocent and less on his guard than he should be around strangers. In Hadriel, most of the time, people shied away from strangers or treated them like they were all bounds to attack.

Tyki might. It all depended on reactions and how they responded to his questioning. After all an Exorcist was an Exorcist. The gold eyes of the Noah were important. Everyone in his Family/Clan had them.] Why not? [It was an honest question.] Does it hold a power of some sort?

[perceives_sunlight]

I dunno. [ He felt a little entranced. Of course, Goku didn't remember, but those with gold eyes were heretics. But their color made him curious about the man who had them. ] Um...

...All I know is that, when it comes off bad stuff happens. [ He blacks out, and when he wakes up... well. Shit went down. Shit he can't remember. ]

...What's your name?

[prazerbutterfly]

[He had heard that term before. Heretic. Noah were human heretics in a way. Destroys of man and those that hated God and Innocence.]

It makes me wonder if it disables something or takes control of you. Do you mind if I take a closer look? [At his question he stalls with his hands at his sides and his patience somewhat high. He's smiling even warmer.] Tyki Mikk.

[perceives_sunlight]

Ty-ki. [ He sounds the name out. ] Umm... [ He recalled both Sanzo and Hakkai telling him to never take it off under any circumstance. They never looked more serious. So he's a little wary. But... ]

[ His hands go up to the sides of the diadem, clamping down on them. ]

I guess you c'n look and stuff... and touch it, I guess, but... I can't take it off no matter what. [ Oh, and his name. ]

...My name's Goku.

[bookman_exorcist]

[Lavi's video seems to be fine, if you think a view of the 'sky' is fine. But luckily the audio on his end seems to be working correctly. He had to replay Tyki's message a few times but he thinks he got the jist of it. Those words were definitely troublesome, however.]

Fish sounds good, I'd ask for some but I don't usually like Noah dinners. Not the fancy ones anyway.

[Video]

[prazerbutterfly]

You're more than capable of getting it on your own. I'm not out to feed trash when you are better suited dead.

[But ah, there you are. He recognizes this Exorcist from Edo. He had a temper when he mentioned Allen.]

[Video]

[bookman_exorcist]

Sticks n' stones, Tyki. Good ta know you have confidence in my abilities, though.

[He tilts the camera enough so you an see his face, totes sticking his tongue out.] How long have you been here?

[Video]

[prazerbutterfly]

I have confidence in your ability to die, Eyepatch. It shouldn't be hard.

[It doesn't bother him. He'll snerk at the casual remark.] Does it matter?

[Video]

[bookman_exorcist]

Shouldn't be hard for anyone, but I don't plan on doin' it anytime soon. Sorry Beauty-mark.

[He shrugs,] Do Noah not small talk? Maybe I'm wonderin' how much mischief you've been up to.

Action

[ushahin]

[Ushahin looks up, his left eye clearly looking different than his right eye. Both of them are pale blue, but the left pupil is fixed in a wide, blown out state. He's squinting as though something is hurting it. It's extremely light sensitive and even the unnatural light in the cave is too much for him to handle.]

If you must.

[Even as he softly says the words, he's not looking the man in the eye. Instead, he's focusing on a point somewhere in the region of his chest.]

Action

[prazerbutterfly]

[It makes him question but as a man with no rationality and much spontaneous motives he's approaching closer to further feel if his eyes is indeed filled with Innocence.

It's strange and strange always meant in his world that Innocence was nearby. Defects were natural but this wasn't common.] You're the first not to question my motives. [His hand is up near his eye and he wants to touch it but he doesn't. Not yet anyways. There's is a faint flow of Dark Matter coursing through his hand unseen to a normal eye and he's waiting for any reaction or offense.]

[ushahin]

[Ushahin shrugs, watching the hand near his face carefully. He doesn't want to be touched by someone he doesn't know, so he's glad when the hand stops before it reaches his face.]

If you wish me ill, you will regret it. And if you don't, then there is no harm in letting you look, is there?

[Even as Tyki is assessing him, Ushahin is doing the same. His powers stretch outward, faint tendrils designed to pick up any surface thoughts coming from the man's mind. He isn't actively going to go inside his mind, not yet. He's just looking to get a first impression.]

[prazerbutterfly]

[His lips lift as his grin grows a little at the promised threat. It seems sincere and he almost wants to test that theory. He's not going to. It would be rude and without reason. He can restrain himself enough.]

You have a point. I mean you no harm. [He says in truth given that his eye is not reacting to his Dark Matter in the slightest. Even his energy will wane back into his body as he lowers his hand. It's a shame. It looked interesting and he's wanted a fight. It's very clear in his thoughts.

His Power to Choose is active almost always and even if he managed to get past it he'd find something darker lurking deep beneath the surface. In the back of his mind he feared Joyd, his Noah, more than anything. He'd rather remain himself.] It's not what I'm looking for.

[ushahin]

[Ushahin relaxes just a little when Tyki's hand moves away from his face. He wasn't sure what that was all about, but he can see the urge to fight in the man's mind. He'd prefer to avoid a confrontation, especially if he doesn't know what the other person is capable of. Some of the monsters here are resistant to his powers and he wonders if that might be true for some of the people.]

Good. I haven't had to harm anyone here yet save a few monsters and would prefer not to.

[Threats, on the other hand, he's given out plenty of those. Still, it's a better track record than he usually has. Ushahin is not the nicest of individuals even at the best of times.]

May I ask what it is you are looking for?

action

[hybridification]

[Rhys is a little used to his arm/eye combo drawing a little attention. Usually, it's his classy wardrobe and well-coiffed hair, but he supposes that sometimes his other qualities come to the attention of others, especially those from more primitive cultures. Tyki's Victorian garb and excellent manners betrays him, making Rhys simultaneously sorry for his lack of technology and a little jealous of his style.

Either way, he can't exactly complain when he's stopped, and shrugs at the request, holding his arm out for Tyki to see.]

Sure. It's mechanical- you know, like a machine, except built into my shoulder. Made of metal. It can do all sorts of stuff.

[Aaand he's bragging. Of course he's bragging.]

action

[prazerbutterfly]

Built into the arm? [It's a good thing. Otherwise he might've ripped it off to get a better look at it depending on his mood. What is with the tie tucking into his pants? Tyki dresses himself to look presentable. He was well known.

Tyki's hand will move underneath his arm instantly as those gloved fingers cradle it. He's not shy about touching.] Can it do anything special?

[Keep talking. He doesn't mind. His other hand will glow faintly with Dark Matter within his glove as he's trying to hide he's doing it. It'll move over the arm in hopes of a negative reaction. Rhys might even feel the way it feels more energized. The Earl used souls and Dark Matter to power his 'machines'.]

action

[hybridification]

Yep!

[Heinous fashion choices aside, Rhys is always ready to show off to someone else if he thinks he can impress them. But- you know, the touching is a little weird, even if Rhys can't feel it, so he shoots Tyki a quick disapproving look, which is soon overcome by his desire to show off even more.

He moves his elbow a little so he can angle his palm up, before the small circle in the center of his hand opens up and emits a short hologram that unfolds into a screen in front of them both- a screen that shows his contacts list in Hadriel. Rhys tries to... well, get Tyki to focus on that instead of weirdly touching his arm, and turns up the brightness on it a little until it could practically serve as a flashlight.]

That special enough for ya?

action

[prazerbutterfly]

[If Rhys would let him, even if he was likely going to do it anyways, he would be manhandling that arm just a little more. He was a very personal and open person that was easy to read when he allowed himself to be. He had an exceptional poker face when off the battlefield or out of combat. Most of the time he seems harmless.] Yes, the kind of special I am looking for... perhaps.

[Which boils down to the fact of how out of date he was when it came to technology given what he was about to do. If he had known more he wouldn't be reacting the way he was about to towards the mention of special and the sudden brightness that came from the hologram. Allen had once had similar objects protrude from his arm.

He's stopped touching at least the way his hand moves outwards except now it is glowing a very dark purple that spreads rapidly across his hand and down his arm. It's offensive and dangerous and he's reacting as if Rhys just drew a weapon. Even his fingers are spread outwards to his side as his other hand twitches in anticipation of a fight. OOPS.

Though he's stalling mildly at the look of the contacts list. He's seen that before on his own 'phone'.]

action

[hybridification]

Woah-

[Rhys is not expecting the glowy purple shit and he tries to yank his arm back quickly, shutting off the screen and trying to get back into what he hopes is a position of safety. In all honesty, he probably should have vetted this guy first somehow- stranger danger and all that- but he just can't help showing off when he's being flattered.

Typical.]
