It was late afternoon. The sky was overcast as though a storm were going to strike at any minute. Kai stood in front of the house where he watched a girl die, only just days prior. He glared at the entrance, he had gotten side tracked, distracted... and now, another girl was dead because he could do nothing... the wind picked up ripping at the tattered rags that he wore. It was chilly... but it was a cold he was all too familiar with...
Finally, with a crack of his neck he would approach the house, and open the door.

He looked like a male version of her. Tattered clothes, pissed at the world, black hair... From this distance, it even looked like he had a trench coat. It was kind of eerie.
Shaking her head, she grasped her new necklace in her hand. Was this another trick? Another madman?
She walked up to him as he entered the building. "Little late to the party there, champ," she muttered, leaning her slender frame against the doorframe.

Kai stopped at the woman's words his teeth clenched.
"Far later than you realize."
Then he would turn around and look at the new comer. She was... not what he expected to see.
"What business do you have here? Are you one of them?"

"One of... who, exactly?"
She furrowed her brows in confusion at that, but didn't bother to change her posture. She was thin, almost abnormally so, but if he looked at her exposed skin, he'd see the creases of every well used muscle poised and ready to strike, like a snake.

As Kai was about to respond he recognized the necklace. "So, you are one of those cultist! The others had similar jewelry to that necklace!" He would accuse as his body lit up with his death aura surrounding him, preparing for a fight! Death Aura - Kai is enveloped in spiritual energy making his eyes glow and giving him a visible Aura around his body, this empowers Kai boosting his physical stats. Anyone near him can feel the cold embrace of Death... (+75% Str and Dex)

She couldn't help but roll her eyes, obviously unimpressed with his show of force. The chill touched her skin, but more than anything... it just served to piss her off.
"THAT escalated quickly. Over a necklace. Come on, dude. What kind of shit are you on? You know it's probably bad for you, right?"

"Oh is it bad for me to not brutally cut open little girls and make them suffer as I sacrifice them to some kind of monster?! Keep your bullshit to yourself. If you want to walk away from death today, inhighky recommend you tell me where the rest of your cult is!"
He hissed.

Ripley held up a finger as she began to count all the ways he was an idiot.
"One. I don't target people who don't deserve it. So I'd never go after a little girl. Two. I work alone. People make things messy. Three. Organized religion is crap. Four. I'm not scared of some grim reaper knock off. Aaaaaand five. Drugs are bad."
She looked down at her hand, all five fingers now extended.
"Hm. Yeah, that seems to cover it. Now calm down, banshee."

Kai stared at the woman contemplating for a moment before finally releasing his aura. If she were one of those fanatical cultist she would be all preachy... plus... she, uh, didn't exactly look the type.
"Fine. Then explain the necklace."

She gave a shrug.
"Its shiny, and it was around the neck of some dead guy. They weren't using it anymore, so why not?"
Why did she feel the need to lie about where she had gotten it? She should have just told him about the madman. Maybe they could find a way to stop him. Together. But, for whatever reason, she felt a strange sense of possessiveness over the gold jewelry, and she wasn't ready to give it up.

Kai stared at the woman for a moment before finally turning his back to her to go inside.
"Collecting a kill trophy. I understand."
With that he would enter the building.

A... what?
She blinked. What was with all of the crazy, homicidal maniacs running around all of a sudden? Sighing, she gave a shake of her head. At least he wasn't likely to attack her...
Pushing off the door frame, she followed him into the house.
"What are you even doing here? Didn't you see the crime tape outside?"

"Yes. A girl was killed here the other day. And am explosion blew me out of here. Now I'm back to see if I can find who. Or what was behind the attack. Then. I'm going to destroy them."

"So, what? You think they're just going to hang around after committing a major crime? They'd have to be pretty stupid to return to the scene, especially since the cops are involved."
Ripley followed after Kai, mostly to see where he was going.

"Maybe left behind a clue or something. I don't know. But I'm going to find out something. I'm determined."
He explained as he made his way to the downstairs room he had seen with the girls.

"Just filled with determination, I see..."
Ripley rolled her eyes, but followed after him.
The door to the apartment was closed, but hanging slightly off its hinges. It was dark inside, no natural light shining through. When the door was opened, it would be the same dust-filled apartment, black-out curtains hanging from the windows, making it almost impossible to see details of anything inside.

Kai looked from side to side and growled.
"Hey, you happen to have a light?"

Ripley gave a shrug, fetching her cellphone out of her pocket. She turned on the flashlight feature before holding it out to him.
"Weird to think you don't, with today's technology. Or are you too busy with your kill trophies to pay a cellphone bill?"

Kai took the phone with roll of his eyes.
"Something like that."
He would then scan the area for anything that stuck out immediately.

"The flashlight is a standard feature on most cellphones. You don't even have to pay. Might want to invest in one, especially if you're going to be breaking and entering a lot."
There was nothing immediately of note. They stood in a living room that was covered in a thin layer of what appeared to be dust. All of the furniture had been covered with cloth, but it was easy enough to see the shapes of a couch, a chair, and a coffee table.
To one side was a fireplace with pictures that had been turned face down, and to the other was an open doorway.
