Who: Rip and OPEN
When: During the Event [Especially the blackout]
Where: Around
What: Rip wants to be one of the things that goes bump in the night.
Rating/Warning: PG-13/R for possible violence? Rip is not a nice person.

Technology becoming a hassle? Rip didn't care. She could do just fine without it. But, when the blackout started... She got excited. Her excitement grew when the sounds of creatures stalking the darkness made themselves known to her. A faint brush against her shoulder.. the feeling of breath against the nape of her neck and turning around to see that there was no one there. Every little bit called to her to go out and play! Rip didn't need to think twice about what she wanted to do, the darkness was a vampire's friend and she was just as much at home in it as in the light. Perhaps.. a little more so.

After making sure her dog was secure within her sparse apartment, Rip took to the streets. It was time to have a little fun her way... no strange computer games! Rip was on the hunt to scare people while she could~. Sadly, it was the only type of hunting she could do at the moment... not the type she truly wanted, but, a hunt was a hunt no matter what limitations there were.

Rip could can be found all around the place lurking in the dark and stalking random people. Does anyone feel as if they are being stalked~? Do they hear strange humming coming from out of nowhere~? It might be Rip... who knows~.

[He'll keep his phone out for now, at least using it to see what he could. He'll only catch a glimpse of something there, moving. After a moment of looking, he'll keep walking.]

Oi oi oi, you know, what's with someone who follows people in the dark. Are you bored? Are you a stalker? I really don't need another stalker. I seriously already had a stalker on Earth and she was annoying as hell.

What's your deal, hah? [who are you]

[He'll ruffle at his fluffy white hair some with his fingers, shuffling along the street, practically talking to himself unless she cares to answer.]

[Thing is, she doesn't care to answer. Not really. Rip's more entertained with trying to keep him guessing at where she might be and humming every once in a while.

Footsteps continued to fade in and out around him. Though, now she was getting a little bored... so, time to turn up the fun.

Her voice came from right next to his ear when she spoke next.]

My deal iz zhat I haf not had a proper hunt since I got here~.

[just fiddling with his phone, then, until that.

He'll nearly drop it, fumbling with it then snapping it closed as he catches it. Come on phone; you're his only light right now, and that was damn unnerving. He'll catch his breath a little before complaining bitterly, glaring with some disgust at the darkness. ]

Now you're being a bully; an annoying bully. What a pain. . .if you wanna play a game, at least wait until the lights come on. Someone will trip and hurt themselves, right?

[He really hated being messed with.]

Or like, maybe we can play hide and seek? I'll count, and you can hide, and I'll find you. If I can't find you, you win. What about that?

[and she will win, since he won't even look. On the other hand, his steps will pick up considerably after the creepy ear thing. Ugh.]

[Her laughter could be heard coming from behind him once his device snapped shut and the lights went out. Whether he thought she was a bully or not didn't matter to the Huntress! She was forbidden from harming humans, but that didn't mean she couldn't mess with their heads.

A match sparked to life just beside him, giving a dull illumination to a white gloved hand and the sleeve of a nice suit jacket with the hint of a pale purple dress shirt just under it. If he turned to look, he would see the eerie light glinting off glasses and a very large fang filled grin hovering near him. Even in this light, it wasn't hard to tell that Rip was tall, a good 6'2 in height and very much... not human.]

It's more fun to play in the dark.

[And then the match went out.]

[He could tell, mostly, from her voice that she was female, but right now Gintoki is still not sure if this is just something weird from the city, or from ViViD, or if it's actually someone else here. The brief bit of light gives him a better look at her, and he notes that she's tall - a good couple inches taller than him, at least -- and maybe wore glasses.

And had really, really sharp teeth. He's already backing away when the flame goes out he's just going to make a run for it. He knew from yesterday that lately, even the monsters from ViViD could hurt you enough, and he wasn't going to stick around any longer.

Maybe running from someone who said they wanted to hunt was a bad idea, in hindsight. ]

N-nevermind! You count first!

[Yeah, he's really running. The most bravest protagonist.]

[Running from her is the stupidest thing he could have done besides attempting to fight her and the moment she heard feet retreating, she was laughing. Rip would give him a few minutes head start before he would hear footsteps chasing after him in the darkness.

Let her fun begin~. She would terrorize him and run him to exhaustion and panic before giving up her chase. Not once would she touch him~. Let his fear overrun him at every turn! That is what she wanted from him.]

[He wasn't sure what she was, but at the point, and with his phone now as a light, he's heading straight for the apartment where he'd been told he should live -- it definitely wasn't home for him, but it was home in this place.

He'll keep going for as long as he can, but eventually he'll have to stop, doubled over as he catches his breath. Looking around as much as he can, he'll at least be able to tell he's in at the edge of the gardens; the sky is more visible here and he can also see Cerealia's two moons, so it isn't nearly as dark as it had been on the streets of the city.

The gardens meant that his apartment building also wasn't too far away, once he's caught his breath, Gintoki will walking again, unless whoever - whatever - was bothering him was going to talk again.

He'll even start humming and occasionally singing the words to that song he was humming earlier, just to take his mind off of being a little nervous. There was still the odd shadow or shade, ghosts - or something made to look like ghosts - in the darkness.]

fly awaaay [lots of humming here; maybe he just hasn't bothered to learn the words . .or something. . . ]. . . ch-ch-charaaaa. . . heccharaaaaa . . .

[And sometime during that, a call is accidentally made. He's not so awesome at this technology thing.]

[The moment he stopped, she did to at some distance away. Rip noticed where they were and was slightly amused. The Gardens? He brought a predator to space with even more hiding spaces to try and get away from them...

This kid wasn't very smart was he? Rip shook her head and snickered before delving into the greenery with him. In the moonlight her movements were easier to see as it glinted off her glasses and nearly illuminated her pale skin. It gave Rip a ghostly quality... when she wasn't hiding in the darkness just out of sight.]

[Unless she does something more, he'll just quickly make his way home. If she leaves him alone long enough Gintoki will start to wonder if maybe she was just a ghost in the darkness, or a monster from the city or ViViD. His humming will grow quieter and quieter as he makes his way through the gardens. He'd walked them a few times during the daylight just to get out of his apartment.]

[Maybe it would be more fun to leave him guessing. Was she real or just another creature created by this place~? Rip continued to follow, humming as she danced through the darkness and then as suddenly as she started, she stopped and let the silence fill the void her humming left.]

[As long as nothing was attacking him, Gintoki is going to steadily make his way home. Once he reaches the apartment district and his building, he'll give one more last look into the darkness.]

Hey, I wanna know something, if you're even there anymore. Are you still there, shadow lady?

Are you, you know. . . real, or are you part of the computer game?
