OOC: Can you explain how you could tell? You couldn't use your telepathy since I wasn't thinking that. I showed no sign. I would be impossible for you to tell.

OOC: He's good at guessing. Plus he assumes, since you asked if he killed for money.
OOC2: You don't have to be thinking about it. As long as it's anywhere in your mind, and you're not blocking it, he can find it.
OOC3: He's met bounty hunters and the like before. He can tell if someone's in that job department.

Axel began to wake and smelled the musk in his room from there being no open door or window and the air was feeling slightly heavy. He groaned and went to the window and opened it to let some fresh air in. When he did, he heard several voices. Three men were talking in the entrance area of the Arena. Hmmm, that one looks like an elf, and he seems like a shadow mage. Then again they aren't the only ones to wear black robes. And I saw that guy yesterday. He seems like a formidable opponent. Perhaps I should challenge one of them.

Axel turned from the window and strapped his swords to his back. He ran into the hallway and climbed the stairs further up, finding a door to the roof. Bingo. he though. He went through onto the roof and stood looking down on the people below, the ones he had heard and seen. After listening for a little bit, he sat down on the edge of the roof and got comfortable, trying to read their voices to figure out their personalities.

Yaksha stiffens under Axel's gaze and starts to look around. "Someone's watching. I can't quite tell if he's human or not....." He sighs and sits down. He takes a deep breath and mumbles for a second. "Ok, where could he be? Since I can't see him, I'd say somewhere on higher ground. Maybe on one of the roofs?" A smile breaks out on his face. "Yes, the roof sounds good........" He takes another deep breath. "OY! GET DOWN HERE!" He stifles a laugh and lies, back waiting for the one who was watching them to come. He turns to the elf from earlier and yawns. "I can read minds. It's how I knew you were being chased."

OOC: 1. This makes him assume that I'm a bounty hunter how? It should create the opposite image.
2. It's not in his mind. And this can prove to be annoying because I would have to say 'Rekhyt blocked his mind from Yaksha' every post, and he doesn't and won't ever probaly know your mental capabilities.
3. Every bounty hunter is different. Some offer mercy, some are kinder, it's like saying all dogs are the same. As for the scond sentence, then how can he deduce from that that he is fleeing and not hunting?
4. By the way, you don't know Axel's name yet. There are only four people there so you can just look at his bio and describe him. Instead of saying, "Yaksha stiffens under Axel's gaze,' it can be 'Yaksha stiffens as he feels a gaze upon him.' And you should be able to see him since he is on the edge of the roof.

EDIT: Oh, by the way, if I am to follow my character's personality, he would gut you in my next post. No one likes their head being snooped around, especially someone with secrets.

1. It SHOULD, but it doesn't. Yaksha has a twisted way of thinking.
2. You only have to block once.
3. True, but he can sense the blood and death on them. There are two ways a person can kill as many people as a bounty hunter. 1, they are a bounty hunter. 2, they have a very dangerous job. He knows you've killed a lot, but not why. He's just guessing, since you asked him.
4.Yes, but he doesn't know what roof. He's not bothering to look for him.

OOC: If you're going to assume so much about me, I'll assume a little about you.

Rekhyt automatically put a barrier around his mind, and drew a sword. "I suggest you mind your own business, fool, because you have no idea what you'd be getting into. An eternal struggle that has gone on for millenia, and will shatter anyone who doesn't join a side." Rekhyt turned to the purple-garbed man. "You let in arrogant demons like this one who have no sense of privacy? Lorithia, why did you let in one such as this?" He sheathed his sword but warned, "I hope you do not remain a fool. Fools multiply folly." Rekhyt was on guard now and he could kill this guy if he did one more little step out of line.

Yaksha feels a barrior form around the elf's mind. He catches on fast! The elf pulls his sword and starts to speak again. "I suggest you mind your own business, fool, because you have no idea what you'd be getting into. An eternal struggle......" Yaksha began to tune him out, thinking of the figure on the roof. Who is that man? And why is he up there? Is he spying? Trying to hide? He snaps back to attention as the elf sheaths his sword and says, "I hope you do not remain a fool. Fools multiply folly." Yaksha sighs and sits back. "Fool? I suppose you could say that. I do have my moments of lesser comprehension. But, nevertheless, I'm smarter than I look." His hand strays to his back.

In ur forumz, watchin u RP.

(OOC: Gentlemen, I know that OOC is very free here, but I'd ask that if you have to use it this often, PM each other instead.)

Steel crossed his arms over his chest, his face adopting a somewhat disapproving look. He gets the feeling that the elf and black cloaked strangers are being belligerent merely for the sake of being so, that or because of their foolish pride.

He considered the way in which to answer the elf's question best, and opened his mouth to reply, but was rudely cut off by the black cloaked stranger, who seemed to think that the question was directed at him. Steel eyed the self-proclaimed demon warily, while the Arena had played host to several creatures of the type before, they were generally unstable, and usually had to be forced out of the place by the guards and clerics.

Once more Steel readied his reply, but the demon cut him off again, shouting like a luatic at some unseen person who was apparently watching the trio from a roof or higher level nearby.

That was when things went too far, the elf pulled his sword on the demon and threatened him. The demon replied and reached for some object on its back. Steel swore and trilled a quick warbling song, producing, as if by magic, a quintet of armed guards, and a trio of clerics, who dashed out from some unseen room nearby.

Fighting to keep his tone level, Steel glared between the two, "firstly, this Arena is for training adventurers in the arts of battle. I am a teacher here, and you are luck that it is I, and not Demonhunter who met you, or you would both be outside on your hindquarters by now. This is a state-of-the-art facility stocked with everything needed to train for, and recuperate after, a battle or duel. Secondly, both of you are in direct violation of one of our cardinal rules, you will both cease this foolish posturing and threats at once. Thirdly, demons, though tolerated, should be certain that they adhere strictly to the rules, and," he added, with an angry look at the black cloaked man, "they should respect others privacy. That would also apply to elves who are too quick with thier swords. Finally, if niether of you can abide by these rules, I suggest you leave now, otherwise these gentlemen here," he gestured to the waiting guards and clerics, "will be more then happy to eject you in the case of you disrespecting the students, teachers, or rules. Have I made myself clear?"

OOC: We did, after my last post.
Yaksha yawns as Steel makes his speech. "So, let me get this straight. No taunting, no fighting outside of the ring? I understand that. But, what is it about my kind that makes you need that rule? I find it sad that a teacher, especially one as smart as you, would revert to such trivial expectations of our kind. What do you think this man would think if I instantly assumed that he was artistic and intelligent, merely because he's an elf? I'm sure he'd be offended too. And, as to the rule about privacy, no mind reading, is that what you're saying?"

Rekhyt shrugged off the man's reprimands. "I warned him to keep out of my mind, and I sheathed it, so I don't see the problem. Wouldn't you be mad if someone was poking around your private affairs? And as for you, are you saying I'm not artistic and intelligent? I don't care much of your opinion of me anyway."

He turned back to the man. "I'd like it if I could see the wares of the Arena. Maybe you could show me a duel, perhaps fight me in a friendly match. You will find that I may be much more pleasant when speaking to people who respect privacy. I suppose relenquishing my business name will do no harm to me. You may call me 'The Jackal'. You are?" He questioned, bowing politely.

Steel's brown eyes observed Yakasha passively, without the least sign of offense or even interest. "I'm not here to pamper anyone, Yakasha, nor to confirm or counter the biases of assumptions. I'm here to train people to protect themselves. You'll forgive me if I belittle your feelings, feelings do not go far in protecting people. And no, no mind reading, though I should doubt that you would find it easy on any of the teachers here."

The teacher uncrossed his arms and tapped his teeth thoughtfully with one hand. "My name is Steel, I specialize in archery and swordplay, and I would be happy to show both of you around the Arena, I presume that both of you are here for instruction of some sort. I would also be happy to duel either of you."

Steel paused and then smiled, "however, I think that before you are accepted as students into the Arena, I shall pose a test to you. That is, of course, unless either of you think that you are not up to the task of a simple entrance exercise?"

As Steel speaks, he sighs. "Now that's no fun! What's the point of having a power if it can't be used? May as well take my weapons while you're at it." As Steel tells them his name, Yaksha grins. "Archery and swordplay? Sounds like a good combination. But I trust you have some skill in magic, too?" He hears Steel make his pause and smile. "So, a test? It really all depends on what kind of test. A fight? A test of wits? A race? I would really prefer the first one, but I'll take the second if I have to."

He turns to The Jackal and sighs. "I never said you weren't artistic and intelligent. Besides, I think it's a little unfair to treat me so coldly after one thing I do wrong. I really do regret snooping in your mind, and I try to avoid it if I can. But, when they won't TELL me......."

Rekhyt snorted. "Sure. Whatever to get those supplies."

Rekhyt glances at the mind-reading demon. "It doesn't seem like you avoided it. You come up to me, say hello, and start poking around my mind before I even turn to acknowledge you. And what do you mean when I won't tell you. Did you consider there's a reason for not telling you? And what would you want to know? Like I said, you dug into my mind before I turned to face you. One thing wrong ma be worse than a million things wrong depending on what they are. They say the first impression counts. That is very true. Whatever molds my impression differently, I will still have a suspicous image of you. We may attain a peace with each other, but never a friendship."

Rekhyt returned his attention to Steel. "So what is it? There appears to be one of your students eager to duel. Up there, hanging on the edge of the roof."

Yaksha puts on a hurt look and sighs. "I did say my name. It's Yaksha. You think you'd have payed a little more attention." He sighs and sits on the ground. "You didn't turn, but you wouldn't tell me your name. You may have had a reason, but I at least wanted something to call you. After all, it's pretty embarassing to call someone, 'hey you!' or, 'You there!' I didn't want your real name. Just a title of some kind. And, now that I have one, I have no reason to search your mind again. I really wish you'd have been kind enough to give me a name. Perhaps we could've gotten off on a better foot."

ORIGINAL: yaksha

A figure in purple walks from nearby and hails them. As he hears them speak, the elf turns and says, "My name will remain hidden until I get to know you better. If you harbor the same feelings, it is understood. If not, then you may introduce yourself-"
"Yaksha. A man of many jobs, and many powers. I am a demon, one of the highest order, and I can already tell something about you. It seems you're running from someone. Why else would you be hiding something, most likely a weapon, in your clothes? I'd be happy to help you out......" He turns to the figure in purple. "So, you are? Seems you either own or work at this place, so perhaps you could tell me more about this place?"

Steel looks between the two, thinking, he nods, as if confirming something to himself. His eyes scan the rooftops after the Jackal's statement, and catch sight of another figure up there watching the trio from above. He thinks for another moment, then waves towards the figure, "you are welcome as well, friend, meet us in the nearby arena."

With that, the teacher turns and strides away, calling out over his shoulder, "right this way please, I think you'll both find this amusing." He smiles to himself and adds, "at least, I surely will." After wending his way through a few passages with the pair behind him, he opens the gate of a nearby fighting arena, "this will do nicely."

The training arena is small, a circle roughly twenty yards across, with several stone piles and half wall barriers. Turning, Steel grins at the pair, "right now listen closely. The two of you don't like each other, I'm not mind reader, and I can easily see that."

Smirking, Steel draws his sword, "lesson one, even if you don't like someone, respect them for what they can do. You'll meet a lot of people over your life that you won't like, but many of them you'll have to work with. So your first task is this, the two of you must defeat me in combat. If our third friend comes along, he can choose a side, but for now, its just us." He slung his shield off his back and onto his arm, "so are you ready to begin?"

I smile and turn to The Jackel. "Ok, I'm going to start simple. I seriously want to get along with you, and I'm hoping you can get along with me. But, for now, even if you don't like me, we have to work together. I'll ask once and only once. Before we fight, I want you to tell me about you. Strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, anything that I might care about. I'll start. I'm a demon, so I have supernatural strength and speed. I'm in my human form right now, but I could easily go demon on this guy. I'm also fairly skilled in magics, mainly relating to fire and darkness. I'm not too fond of extreme light, and cold temperatures aren't exactly my forte. So, tell me a little about you, now......"

Steel nodded to Rekhyt's statement and invited him down. He lead them through a few passages, to a gate and said, "Right, now listen closely. The two of you don't like each other, I'm not mind reader, and I can easily see that." Rekhyt rolled his eyes. Gee, did you figure that out yourself or did someone help you... Yaksha couldn't read his mind since he put up an impenetrable fortress around his mind.

"Lesson one, even if you don't like someone, respect them for what they can do. You'll meet a lot of people over your life that you won't like, but many of them you'll have to work with. So your first task is this, the two of you must defeat me in combat. If our third friend comes along, he can choose a side, but for now, its just us."

No problem with that...I've had to kill and help many people I respect. Yaksha turned to him, smiling.

"Ok, I'm going to start simple. I seriously want to get along with you, and I'm hoping you can get along with me. But, for now, even if you don't like me, we have to work together.

"Yaksha, I already told you, peace may come across us but never friendship. But peace means we may work together." Rekhyt began stretching a little, warming up his muscles. "Magic, eh? Then let's turn up the heat. Maybe you should do some stretches too. Warm up. And about me? I'm just a shadow...with a dagger."

OOC: SNOW DAY! YAY! I'll be here all day folks!

Yaksha frowns. "I didn't say I wanted to be friends. I just want to be able to put aside our differences. I would've liked to avoid my mind probe, but I didn't have much of a choice in the matter."

He pulls a large axe from his back and smiles. "If you're a shadow with a dagger, then I'm a demon with an axe. A very big axe. Before we start this thing, do you have any magics you're particulalrly good at? Anything about you? You seem to be good at stealth, I can see that much, and the shadow comment helped. But how is your speed? Your stamina? Your power? I've got to know a little more about you."
