SPOILER: Click to show

The area seems to be abandoned, with an overworked railroad splintering through the area. The tracks are rusted and the plywood road has since been destroyed by one thing or another, leaving it a grown-over path. Green and brown brushes line the right of the tracks, crushed stone scattered mostly on the right of the path as well. On the other side are aimless grasslands that touch blue skies, but the clouds overhead cast damp shadows. A large, rundown factory is a point of interest.

inside-

SPOILER: Click to show

Inside the factory is as barren as the lands outside of it, gone with civilization that left it behind. While on the outside it appears to be a small building, stepping inside reveals that half of it is underground, built into a hill. It's musty inside the building and the walls appear to have rot on them, the smell of mold pungent in the large building. The rafters are exposed and there are stairs that travel throughout the entire building, with many rooms and offices once lived in. Perhaps even a few things can be found littering the ground, or graffiti on the walls.

Rules:
-No entry attacks.
-Hypothetical characters: S Class Genjutsu Masters we are.

sorry sets

---

Kaede was not usually one to take long strolls under the hot sun, but as a man without a village affiliation, walking was one of the many of his few past times. His birth home, land of Thunder, does resonate through him slightly - his nativity is clear in his structure. Tall, almost 6 feet but not quite, the man possessed a lanky body and frail limbs. His eyes flicker red as he drinks in the sights around him, his hands moving around his suit briefly to check that he has his items. Of course his Scythe remained holstered upon his back, but he had to be sure he still had his set of 15 Hira-Shuriken as well as his 15 set of the off-brand, Bo-Shuriken. 15 large marbles in his back pouch proved to be his fanciest item. His long, black hair hung loosely around his body, bouncing slightly with his smooth steps over the railings. He kept his ears and eyes open until he finds a large, broken down factory. He hums thoughtfully, though his face does not twist into a new expression. It hardly ever did.

Deciding it would be maybe at least occupying to explore and scavenge this factory, his walks on the rusted railroad tracks towards it. He estimates that he is around 300 meters away from it - a bit of a trek, but not really. He was, after all, no stranger to walking.

[Necromancer of the West]

It was different, the transformation that Rael went made him feel like a stranger in his own body. He didn't know much, but he was a devil. A wicked grin fell on his face, red hue black hair wisp in his face as he stepped out of a portal. The smell of brimstone, sulfur and fire could be smelled by anyone who was near. He had just came back from the depths in the infernal planes. Horns. He had horns now. A subconscious flick of his now prehensile tail would flick to and fro. Rael looked down at his hands, now claws. A small burst of fire erupted from his palms. This new body would do, but only time would give him time to break it in. Dowsing the flames, he stretched his now smaller frame of 5'7, allowing his ornate designed clothing to gleam in the sun. It felt cool compared to the Infernal plane.

He looked around, inspecting where the portal threw him out to. His new eyes were handy. Everything was so vibrant, he could see everything it was exhilarating, but he be damned, tiring. He was not use to this 360 degree vision. He saw traces of birds flying to and from his peripheral.He focused not of the life, but the physical surroundings now. Rael was in a run down factory. Abandoned? He could only guess by the over growth that was clearly present. He couldn't stay here too much longer. He did have to report his Kage. A grimace formed, not liking he was still attached to such ninja nation. He began to walk to only he could suspect was the entrance of the factory. Rael cackled a bit. A human life force just entered his field of vision and was walking towards the factory perhaps?

The only thought that raced through his mind was having a bit of fun in his new body. He stepped close to the walls, allowing his chakra to melt into the awaiting shadows. They withered and slowly crawled onto his dull red complexion. A successful observation would show his wear about, but otherwise, he was hidden in plain sight, shrouded by shadows.

Now he waited.

[neko bo beko]

A presence - a subtle one, but also a very noticeable one once a GenJutsu is used. It's like a distinct shift in the atmosphere when two GenJutsu masters collide, their poignant black chakra often times never the types to intertwine. No, if there was another GenJutsu user around... then surely a fight was around, too. It both excited and annoyed Kaede, a flux of inner turmoil dragging him to a stop a few meters in front of the entrance to the factory. Like his stomach clawing at the dirt, trying desperately to turn him back, it's like some omen is warning him not to proceed. What lies ahead that has even Kaede feeling at unease? His eyelids flutter as he looks over the factory.

Kaede's red eyes glow slightly brighter as he taps into a second eyesight, the shadows casted around him illuminated slightly so. Not in the sense that sun has risen higher but instead it is as if the saturation has been turned up, the areas covered in darkness appearing translucent gray now. Confident now that he can see clearer in the dark, he ventures into the factory.

With a sweeping gaze, Kaede enters the factory through the upper doors having come from the tracks, so when he moves into the dark, abandoned building it's onto an iron balcony overlooking the workplace. Kaede's eyes narrow, the soft red glow of his eyes the only thing giving away his position in the darkness. His illusionary insight is still strong as he scans the area below. If not timidly, Kaede begins to descend the stairs into the factory.

It's then he spots it along one of the walls - a monstrous thing, beastly and terrifying and... hiding. Kaede cocks his head, the red glow of his eyes pulsing as his heightened sight begins to fade. Though his heart hammers wildly in his chest, he stays calm. "..." His eyelids lower slightly, the red glow of his eyes flickering - he turns his face to hide the lost effect. "I see you," He says, though he no longer can see the beast. Would he even want to? Would he want to get into a ... fight? with this thing? He does not flinch, however, if the thing moves. Wanting to keep the situation easy, he blinks slowly as he turns his red eyes back to the inhuman person. Seamlessly, as their eyes meet, he asserts a feeling of comfort- kindness. Though Kaede does not usually offer these emotions, nor does he particularly care for them, he relies on the compulsion of kindness. He takes a few slow steps forward so that the distance between them is no less than 30 meters; within range. "You don't need to hide. I am no enemy of yours-" he refrains from referring to it as 'beast'. "Sir."

[Necromancer of the West]

Closer. The life form was slowly creeping towards the abandoned factory. The doors creaked ever so slightly. The human was near. My grin grew, revealing sharp pointed teeth. My eyes saw everything. But the eerie glow of the man's eyes could be seen. Was this human the same blood as me? No. It was something different. Echoing footsteps were nearing, getting ever so louder with each stair descended. A soft voice could be heard. The man has spotted me. My grin was now feral, eyes a brilliant amber, with a hue of red radiating from them. I wanted to play. I wanted to see someone squirm. "Oh?" My voice sickly sweet, still thick with my posh accent. I moved into an upright position, still shrouded by the shadows. I stood still, letting my gaze pierce the mortal's form.

My energy began to seep out of my body, my horns glowed a vibrant silver, illuminating my position. The soft Aura pulsated, washing over our forms, producing a sliver of light between us. Ever so subtly, in my peripheral, things began to warp. The visual perception of the over growth began to be my vibrant. They began to crawl around. The insects that were present in the room, the audibility was enhanced, each buzz and noise created by them were amplified. Everything in this room was real now. I began to slowly walk towards the human, making sure each step created and echo is response. My energy seeped out of my horns, which were still glowing with silver light. 30 meters away from myself and 15 meters away from the man, there would be something lingering. The form I could not make out yet.

Fourteen meters away, I took one last step. And instantly, shadows engulfed my form, slowly dragging into the darkness. I simply continued walking and stopped mere centimeters in front of the boy, but if he did not look past the shadows, it would seem as if I slowly creeped out of his own shadow. Without hostile intent, I leaned over to talk. ""You're it."

[neko bo beko]

When the man parts his lips, a voice that Kaede had not expected slips from the demon's lips; what accent was that? Certainly not a hellish one, that's for sure. Still, there was something... off, about this man, about the silver horns protruding from the skin of his forehead, distracting and gleaning. The light glinting off the stranger's horns becomes amazingly distracting and, briefly, Kaede's eyelids flutter as the atmosphere around them shifts slightly, feeling almost like a gentle glow. Kaede knew that feeling well. What he did not know, however, was how to react to the intensity that follows. The room feels small and large at the same time, all things in it both too close and too far away. Distant inside his own body, it's like he dissociates, focused on the new reality he's in. It's almost exhilarating, it's almost terrifying. The long-haired man narrows his eyes, presses his lips into a tight line as he tracks the demon's movements. Unmoving, and then a step forward-

And then darkness; a fog of it, inky and misty and Kaede screws his eyes shut for a mere moment. When his eyes open, the slightly shorter man is too close.

Kaede stumbles backwards with a hitched breath, baffled. The man does not make a move, and is ushering Kaede to do so first. A trap, a setup - maybe not. Maybe this thing just wants some fun. Either way, Kaede does not want to be at the mercy of this thing with sharp, jagged teeth behind a crooked smile. The red-eyed boy, looking like a more human version of this demon, grimaces and takes a step back, a noise caught in his throat as he considers his options. "You.." Kaede's eyes glint slightly. There is no use in hiding what it is he attempts, so the quick handseals in front of him only go covered by his words.  He almost cannot hear himself speak over the obnoxious buzzing of a fly somewhere in the corner of the room, his eyes darting towards it. Paranoid but knowing, he takes a steadying breath as he holds his gaze upon the demon. "Are you from... here?" Mere hairs from the posh demon, it's gut-wrenching to take another step forward. He wills his own essence to touch this demon, hoping it will tire him out. If it works, the man would be completely and utterly exhausted - easier to talk to, easier to tame. What were Kaede's intentions here? He didn't think it through. "Not from this place," he gestures widely to the factory surrounding them, bright and dark at the same time, "but of Earth?" Perhaps it is a prodding question, so Kaede stops when he is a meter from the demon. He flexes his fingers, ready to draw his scythe. He takes a hollow breath.

If his attempt in tiring the demon is successful, easing forward should be no bother. He holds his breath, shifting so his hands move seamlessly into new handseals as he approaches the demon slowly. The closer Kaede inches, the shallower his breath becomes. Just one touch - just one touch and this demon would be ill. He would feel human, if he hadn't already once before. "You look tired," Kaede says smoothly, moving to slip a hand on the demon's shoulder. If he makes the contact, he shows no sign of success - his red eyes only darken in the low light of the factory, the shared space between the demon and he humming with the life of the room.

im so sorry if i've done this wrong, rael. but that's why we're here....... to learn!!

[Necromancer of the West]

It was a weird experience, being trapped in the same alternate reality as my foe. It was exhilarating. The long haired mortal stumbled backwards. But in this reality, it was odd. After images were being produced of each frame of second was recorded. The hitch of the male's breath was enhanced. In my eyes, my reality, I saw the fear in his eyes. My cheshire grin could go no further. My eyes bulged out in a crazed manner. The after images finally vanished, only to reveal the red-eye boy beginning talk.

"You.." A simple word, a simple word that echoed through my ears. The voice was all around me, despite knowing the voice came before me. A simple question was followed after. Despite being said with such timidness, it deafened my mind. My own energy was washing over my being, the feeling of drunkenness tinged my face. The silver hue from my horns turned into a brilliant translucent, mist before my eyes. I began to cackle at the innocent question. I stood up straight, gazing at the boy.

"I am, no, wasa mortal just like you. This," I waved my hands towards my altered visage, to point out such transformation, ""is a new metamorphosis." I brought up my right hand, and simply snapped. My form wavered for a moment, before shimmering to a new form. It was my old body. Sickly pale skin replaced the angry red complexion that marred my skin just moments ago. My hair was midnight black, with a slight wave to it, face sharp and aristocratic. My body had no definite change, still the lithe and frail body I held. My shirt became an intricate Gothic embroidered blouse, with the same design on fitted black pants."Do you prefer this look?"

I didn't know if it was my eyes, or my own spell, but the weaving the boy was doing wasn't registered until I felt something wash over my body. The silver mist began to hug my form, as if the boy turned it on me. My eyes glazed over, eyelids becoming heavy. My grin quickly turned to a frown, I shook my head and was surprised at such quickness the boy held. He was close to me now. Mere inches was a hand towards my shoulder. On instinct I did not know I possessed, my tail, which was no invisible due to the glamour that washed my form, would strike towards the boy before the hand could touch me.

"Hear my voice, little one." The mist that was produced by my horns pulsated and changed to a deep blue, washing over our forms. A sense of serenity fixated over my own mind, as if I was hypnotizing myself instead. "I mean you no physical harm. Listen to my voice, ignore everything around you. focus on my voice and only my voice." My voice had a deep octave, but still held that accent that nobles held. If the boy was fascinated by the energy of my voice, I would simply walk out the boys sight, back into the shadows. Knowing that sound was amplified, I continued to talk. "You see no evil, you smell no evil. Only hear the sound of evil."

At the moment, if the escape was successful, I would be hidden in another room in the factory, shrouded by the same shadows as once before. I would quite talking, the energy from my voice vanishing, freeing the nameless boy from his grip.

[neko bo beko]

With clouds before his eyes, the thing cackles at Kaede's prodding question. Gritting his teeth, clinching his jaw, he fists his hands at his sides and narrows his eyes at the red beast as it straightens. Do not fear this beast, this-

"I am, no, was a mortal just like you."

The posh demon gestures to his form, and Kaede follows the motion with his eyes, drinks in the sight of the demon. Only slightly shorter, but still a beast no less. The seconds that pass by between them feel as though they take hours, the world between Kaede and this beast a timeless place. Both at the same time Kaede felt like he was wavering and standing completely and utterly still, the raising of the demon's right hand taking ages. Kaede counts his heartbeats, slow and steady as the beast snaps his fingers.

In an instant, it feels like their little world has shifted. The pressure upon them both seems to ease up, but at the price of the world feeling slightly...warped. A man, an almost handsome man, now standing before an equally as almost handsome man. Kaede grimaces, but his red eyes flare when the newly-shaped human takes a dizzying moment to himself, expression falling fleetingly.

So close. Kaede had been so close. But he'd seen it, he knew it was there - this man this beast is touchable, negotiable. Kaede's fate was not determined and this grew his heartbeat quicker, time seeming to catch up with itself finally as his heart quickens. He swallows thickly; this man had been so close too, with only a simple strike of his tail. The long, black-haired man glowers silently, but then something clicks.

It's as if Kaede's vision turns completely blue. What is the opposite of seeing red? To see blue? Kaede chokes on a syllable, his own voice caught in his throat like a frog croaking long as the accented man begins speaking through the thick, blue fog. His voice is intense, too intense - Kaede covers his ears and groans, eyes squeezing shut as his eyebrows knit together. Too loud, too close, too... alluring.

"I mean you no physical harm. Listen to my voice, ignore everything around you. focus on my voice and only my voice."

Why did Kaede believe him? Want to indulge him? Why did the pull of a long inhale send shivers through him? His eyes remain slammed shut, palms over his ears and his shoulders hunkered, but still the voice pierced his brain directly. Like this beast, man, whispers into his ear, through his hands. He gasps hard, trembling slightly.

"You see no evil,"

Kaede grunts

"You smell no evil."

No- Kaede groans, straightens and pulls his hands down from his ears. A trick, a trick - he reminds himself over and over, over and over - just a trick, just a trick.

"Only hear the sound of evil."

Kaede blinks, and he's standing upright and the man is gone. The blue hue is gone with him, but there is still a... tinge, to the reality around him. But no longer is it shared, and the weight of his lonesome is a surprisingly heavy one. He looks around the empty room of the factory, large and spacious beside himself. He feels wobbly and feeble on his feet but no better, no worse. His throat feels stretched, like he's just swallowed billows of smoke; thirsty perhaps. He draws in a low breath, red eyes moving anxiously from corner to corner of the large room. How many more rooms were in this factory? How many doors leading to more doors, how many stairs, how many nooks and crannies? How much would he have to go through to find this thing again?

His red eyes glide to the entrance; he could leave. He could so, so very easily leave this retched thing, situation, behind. But he so easily could find the beast and... Kaede turns his eyes up to the ceiling and listens to the small sounds of the room, of the rooms surrounding him. If he concentrates long enough, maybe this GenJutsu alone will help him relocate the man. This proves to be untrue as he wanders aimlessly through a few corridors, eyes narrowed in the dark as he ventures further into where he should not. It is no use, focusing on the small things around him. It is all one big buzz, one big movement melting into another. He dares not to speak, fore the man might hear him. He dares to speak, fore the man might hear him. He clears his throat.

As he wanders the factory, stopping momentarily at each threshold of a room to peer in, his eyelids hooded, red eyes glinting with anticipation, he weaves handseals and a pinch in his throat precedes his projected voice. The empty factory carries his voice, hopefully far enough for the other man to hear. "Are you still here?" He asks slowly, swinging each foot in front of the other in long strides. Just a glimpse, and the demon would be gooey for what the black-haired rival has to say. His red eyes move long over the shadows, knowing this fiend is one who prefers darkness. "Are you here with me?" He does not know what to call it, wishes to know its name. Even if his sweet talk does not reach the man, he hopes his normal voice at least will. His voice, low and tempting, echoes even in his own ears. "What is your name? I am..." He closes his eyes, pausing briefly. His voice bounces off of the walls, sounding different in his ears. Who is it that is speaking? It sounds unlike him.

His eyes part and he sighs, but that too clashes into him from the walls. "I am Kaede."

[Necromancer of the West]

My once favored solace was now turning against me. Hidden in the darkness, in this warped world I created, was suffocating. The room I stumbled upon, greeted by the familiar chill of the void that graced my skin, was welcoming. But I was now in a void. The buzz of the flies that littered the factory seized to exist. Nothing. The glow of my horns was absent, the controlled breathing from myself was gone.

Ba-dump. The beat of my heart was still present. My mind was playing its own game on my being. I had asked for such thing, calling upon the energy of the shadows. A crack went off in my ear, as if the eardrums ruptured. The visage of the boy appeared in the realm he was in. The boy's voice was tantalizing, mouth seductive. A wash of lust clouded my mind. The words that were spoken sung to me. I yearned to be close to the voice once more.

The visage vanished. It was a phantom, playing tricks on my psyche. I needed out of the shadows, they were beginning to turn against me. I was greeted with blinding light. Wincing in agitation as the lustrous sun beams were not dimming down. Oh cruel fate. I smirked once more, in my mind, safe, within this room that was yet breached by the other man. Kaede. Such a pretty name for one so effeminate.

I gathered my energy in my throat, connecting it with the energy that I fed into the environment. With simply talking, my voice would resonate from anywhere. In this altered reality, anything could happen.

"Oh? You beseech for my name?" I laughed with mirth, enjoying such game with the man. "Kaede...there is no reason to be afraid. I am harmless after all." A slight chuckle escaped my lips as a cruel thought entered my mind. "My name is Rael, of the Nara Clan.
child of an Archdevil at your service. And may I say, I am good at ravishing things I want."

My form shimmered once more, dropping the illusive glamour and horns glowing a bright green now. Closing my eyes, I focused my energy on the sounds of the insects. I wanted them to grow, I needed them to grow. Locust. The plague that would cause wide spread famine. The creatures of ruin. I stretched my senses outside allowing the phantasmal swarm to start. If Kaede was near, the buzzing sounds would be present, the thump of them hitting the abandoned walls would be heard. They would gather closer together, finding an opening caused by the destruction of the overgrown tomb we are in now. Slowly, the locust would swarm, they will ravage and turn the factory into a ruined field.

" Do you hear that? Do you hear the horn of the Horseman of Famine? Hear him, knocking on our reality? Let the games begin, my dear." My voice was still being carried over by the ventriloquism. But something strange happened. I was hearing the swarms. They were getting close. In this reality, did my own creations harm me? I did not know.

[neko bo beko]

Though he had taken up walking aimlessly again, he stops short once the man's voice pierces his mind directly. As if he is speaking directly into his ear, low and full. "Oh? You beseech for my name?" A laugh, hearty and mocking. Like he is mocking Kaede. He grinds his molars, eyes squeezing shut. His hands at his sides turn to white-knuckled fists, nails into his palms. It does not help to alleviate this GenJutsu touching his mind. "Kaede..." Kaede lets out a small noise from the back of his throat as the thing says his name. Briefly, he regrets giving out his name first. "There is no reason to be afraid. I am harmless after all. My name is Rael, of the Nara Clan." An archdevil of a human clan? Odd.. "And may I say, I am good at ravishing things I want." 

Kaede laughs through his nose, eyes finally opening. He looks around where he stands, afraid that the beast - Rael - had snuck up on him. He narrows his his eyes and casts long gazes over the scenery, even as he begins walking again. Just as quickly as he had begun walking with the demon's name in mind, he comes to a breathless stop when something... buzzes. Of course, there had already been an erratic buzzing, but that was distant compared to this. Somehow distant, while at the same time sounding as if it came right from inside of Kaede's mind. The fluctuating knowing and unknowing, the prolonged exposure to... this, it has Kaede slowly unraveling. He groans, looking uneasily over his shoulder. What was that? What was.. this?

Then he saw it. A swarm of green bugs, distorted and intimidating and- he closes his eyes again and draws in a shaking breath. The buzzing is so loud, so loud, bouncing off the walls the tiny bugs, each individual bug and its flapping tiny wings and their small bodies, swarming into each other, ravishing- Kaede snaps his eyes open and remembers what the man had said. About ravishing things, much like the locusts. Unsteadily, he realizes that if the buzzing is so close, so much be the man behind the buzzing. The simple thought eases the tension of the locusts, and he frowns, red eyes glinting as he narrows his eyes. Where was Rael? A man of... He swallows around a lump in his throat and looks through the mirage.

He must be as visible to Rael as he is to Kaede. He takes in a breath, the locusts swarming between them. The rotting walls no longer look so... devoured. If and once their eyes meet, Kaede moves out of the way, back to Rael as he disappears with handseals moving between his fingers, quick and easy. His lips moved, but he could not hear it in his ears - it would echo in both of their minds, Kaede's voice loud and intrusive in Rael's mind. What is this game? He asks him through thought, descending further into the factory by a few meters, deeper into the darker parts. My turn to run, and hide, like you have thus far. Perhaps audible to the demon is Kaede's sudden gasp as the shadows stop him. He forgot that the plane they exist on now is of the demon's, and the reminder is daunting. He exhales uneasily into Rael's mind. Well, perhaps not running. You weren't running, were you? Just... He narrows his eyes, searching the dark hallway. He ducks into an office, empty save for his person. Wanted me to follow? Hmm..

He considers briefly a thought, looking around the room. He is no harm, Kaede reminds himself. Was it true? He did not know, did not want to know. But still, playing was fun. Somehow. He touches Rael again with his mind, soft and prodding. This time, a specific aura resonates from Kaede, and surely he hadn't traveled far enough to not touch Rael physically. Another room, another place in the factory, but still so close. The aura is soft and dull, but noticeable so. What game is this, Rael of the Nara Clan...? He steps to the threshold of small office he occupies now, peering down each side of the dark hallway. He hoped the demon was close. His aura moves with him, only slightly but surely. Are you truly of no harm to me?

The user is able to perform this technique at a distance of 7 meters plus 6 meters per class level. The duration of this technique lasts for 5 minutes per class level. This technique may be negated. Each potentially affected creature is allowed a save to avoid the effects when the Jutsu is performed or when the creature first enters the emanation area. Affected creatures are aware of this Enchantment. Therefore, they may avoid answering questions to which they would normally respond with a lie, or they may be evasive as long as they remain within the boundaries of the truth. Creatures who leave the area are free to speak as they choose.
