A young woman wanders into the park, she's heard... A rather interesting set of things about this place, and Grimm or not, she still feels the need to look into danger. Blake would start looking around, despite the darkness around her those cat-like eyes are good for something. Spotting the boy over by the grass is fairly simple, but she'd ignore him for now in favor of wandering a bit deeper into the place. Eyes scanning around as she walks forward slowly, searching for anything that seems out of place.

*Nero walks into the park alone, hoping to find a quiet and peaceful place to read. Unfortunately, the newspaper he was trying to read is blown away in the wind. With a sigh, Nero continues forward into the park regardless. Noticing he wasn't alone as we wanted to be, Nero decides to stand by and wait to see if anything interesting was going on*

"Kekekeke....kekeke..." [A chilling laugh is carried along on another breeze that rolls in. Almost impossible to hear between the swaying branches and dancing grass, but still very present. The water stirs once more.] "......" [The voice grows silent before disappearing entirely as Blake walks deeper still into the park. Her eyes are able to scan around with ease as she walks. As she gets further into the park, another gust stirs up noise as Blake notices the face of a little girl. The girl was no older than six and her brown hair was down in two pigtails. Tear lines can be seen staining her face as she cries softly.] "Mama? Where are you mama?" [A cloud begins to blot out the moon's light as Nero appears on the scene.]

Laughter of some kind... Faint, wouldn't notice it without the ears, but despite that, she'd notice it for a moment. That's quickly tossed aside, however, as she notices the young girl wandering alone, what the heck is a kid doing out here so late anyway? "You're looking for your mother? I guess I could help with that, um what's your name anyways? I'm Blake, and hopefully we'll find her soon..." Something feels off here, but she'd still smile comfortingly at the kid, can't exactly let paranoia run rampant and assume the worst of some little girl right off the bat.

The boy would simply ignore all going on around him as he continues modifying the grass. There was some frustration in his eyes as he looks at the grass. It would shift wildly up and down, left and right. He began to just grow more and more agitated until the grass would finally ignite in flames. In the grass, a name would be burned into the ground. "Tsukiya". It was his own name, the one given to him by the true version of himself who insisted he called "sister". The idea of a sibling confused him. It was such a human idea yet he was being asked to just accept it as well as accept the name he was given. "It's pointless anyway. Why can't they all just leave me alone...Why exactly did they decide I should exist separately?"

*Nero thinks he hears something, looking around. He shrugs before continuing further into the park, mumbling to himself* What do I have to do to get a simple bench around here?

[The girl looks up at Blake with bloodshot eyes, she's been crying for awhile. However that's not the only odd thing, Blake could only see the girl's face. Everything else was like it wasn't there. The girl speaks through the tears.] "I-It h-hurts mama! Why does it h-h-hurt so much!? Mama! Save me mama!" [The girl seemingly pleads to Blake as tears start pouring harder down her cheeks. The little girl's face begins to contort as if someone was causing her great pain.] [At the same time both Nero and Tsukiya would hear a rustling in the grass, much like a snake would make. A large snake that is. However the lack of light would make identifying the source a bit tricky. The sound would stop behind each of the men and then go quiet.] [The cloud remains in front of the moon.]

What in the hell is she dealing with? A body that barely exists and no response to anything she's been told... Could just be the horrible pain, but this is looking less and less okay by the moment. "I can call a hospital about this or something, you seem like you need help so uh I guess I'll get it for you." She's not going near the kid, not given how suscept everything out here is making her... The kid put aside, this entire thing is making her instincts go off. Like she's walking into the kinda trap the White Fang might pull or something... "Just try to calm down okay? I'll make sure you get somewhere safe, so please don't worry."

*Nero stops upon hearing the sound. He closes his eyes and listens until it goes quiet. With a sigh, Nero turns around, an unimpressed look on his face.* Not Snake Eyes. So. What do we have here? Nox. *A white-haired woman would rise from Nero's shadow holding a staff with a candelabra attached to the top of it, burning in a ghostly blue flame. With a slight nod, Nox would launch a fireball at the grass the rustling came from. With any luck, the grass would be set ablaze and anything hiding within wouldn't be hiding for very long if it wanted to survive.*

Tsukiya would seem to just sigh having felt the change in his environment. He might not have been nearly as insightful as his "siblings" but he was spacially aware since controlling space was what he primarily did. "I don't know what you are but I can feel you moving there..." His eyes would seem to become a deeper shade of red as a swarm of black butterflies would swarm around him. "Whatever you are, come out now or I'll just burn down this entire park. You cannot escape the wheel of fate." The butterflies would continue flying around but would now light on fire as they still fluttered about. The heat coming from them was plain for any close enough to notice and they would also noticeably flying slightly higher to avoid accidentally hitting the grass.

[The girl continues her hysterics, but not just her, more faces appear around her. A boy, a young man, an older woman, a young lady and they all cried out in agony as the faces struggled to break free from whatever it was they were connected to.] "What'dya think? Isn't it beautiful? Kekeke!" [The voices all stop as a much louder one speaks over them. Each face is seemingly frozen in fear at the sound of the voice.] "So? What'dya think hun? Perfect or what? Don't be shy!" [Meanwhile, Nero attacks where the figure and in the brief seconds as the fire begins to light up the darkness the figure moves. A long thing with razor sharp claws on the end of it was what made the noise. It deftly avoids the fireball as it rises off the ground. It then quickly strikes at Nero with its long "body" in an attempt to knock him down.] [The glow of the fiery butterflies is enough to reveal the same creature to Tsukiya. And much like with Nero, it rises and swings its mass down towards the boy.] [The cloud cover would begin to clear as a pair of large, monstrous eyes stare into Blake's. The owner of those eyes? A monstrous looking turtle hosting a shell adorned with human faces.] "Kekeke..."

The boy would still sigh and look agitated at the creature's attack as it neared him. With a swift wave of his hand, the butterflies would all fly into the ground in front of him. Anything they landed on would be soon ignited as the butterfly would burst into flames. As they were discarded more would begin flying around the boy. He would step back as the additional butterflies began to melt together into a shadow stream that would encircle him in a liquid-like form. "Whatever you are, you really aren't wise to try and fight the shadows of the world incarnate!"

*Nero is knocked to the ground by the creature.* My life cannot be easy, can it? Nox. *Nero leaps back to his feet as Nox raise a hand to the sky. From beneath the creature, shadows would gather and attempt to drag the creature down into the abyss. Nero simply presses his glasses to his face.* If it escapes this, perhaps it will be worth my full attention.

"Hun? Sorry, I'm plenty of things but shy isn't on the list, you might talk but you don't seem too different from a Grimm to me, time to die." Hopefully his night vision isn't so good, but either way a clone of Blake appears in front of her as the girl would dart around it, aiming to cover herself in the darkness as her copy rushes the thing head on. Blake herself would draw her blade and dart at the thing's left side, her clone running in front of its head and attempting to cover its eyes before she does so, with any luck he'll be too stunned to notice the real her. The girl would then aim to stab her katana into his left eye, hoping to blind him partly, and if possible she'd then tear it upward and try to rip out part of his skull. "Don't assume I'm as helpless as kids and people who've never fought anything in their lives, you won't be the first monster I've cut down or the last."

"Grimm? Hate to disappoint doll, but I'm something much different. Probably? Maybe...what's a Grimm?" [The large beast would show signs of a struggle as Nero pins the entity he was fighting against and Tsukiya begins to burn his. Now that the night was lit up once more, Nero and Tsukiya would both notice that what they were fighting were actually arms from the beast. Slowly but surely the arm would break away from the bind.] "Right. Probably ain't a big deal what a Grimm is, but I'm the demon, Jinmen. So let's all get along and I'll gobble you up quick? Okay?" [The slightly singed arm would quickly return to Jinmen's left side, and the other would break free before joining his right side. Now armed, Jinmen responds to Blake's movements with a considerable display of speed. He tosses his right arm towards the clone in an attempt to swat it away, but this leaves him little time to sniff out the real Blake. The blade hits Jinmen's left eye and the second half of the attack would cleave a nice chunk out around the eye socket.] "Gah! Bitch! How dare you do this to me! I'll devour you all and add you to my shell! Shadows incarnate, a doctor or something, and a witch like yourself....all beautiful baubles in the making..."

*Nero looks at the arm, somewhat impressed.* Yeah, alright. I'm done with this thing now. *Nero begins walking away from the arm, hands in his coat pocket. Nox retreats back into Nero's shadow. Nero seems to be completely defenceless right now.*

"Witch? Hate to disappoint, but magic isn't something I can do... That's called a Semblance, and it's just a tiny bit of my soul is all." He looks wide open, but Blake doesn't win fights by charging in as if she's Yang. Instead, the girl would quickly back away, moving far faster than any human has a right to as she aims to take cover up in a tree. From there, she'd pull a red vial out and toss it into Gambol Shroud, she smirks as the fire dust runs through her weapon and into a set of 6 clones. This set rushes straight for him at various angles, 2 at the front and back, plus one for each side. They're aiming to close in and flail their fiery bodies at the demon. Of course, if he countered them at close range, he might not like the resulting blast of flames that pop up where they "die". Finally, Blake herself would begin darting between trees, flicking her weapon into a pistol and firing off a blast of flames every few braches, 3 shots to be exact, one above him aimed at the skull, another to his back, and finally one aiming for the singed arm to burn it some more. "As for what Grimm are, honestly even I'm not too sure since nobody seems to know. But, I can tell you they slaughter people without even thinking, though such things don't speak much unlike yourself." Even as she delivers exposition, Blake's still moving about the trees and never staying in one place, almost giving the effect of her voice echoing through the area.

"How nice of you to fill me in sweetheart." [As soon as she gives him some breathing room, he immediately retreats into his shell.] "Well missy, I might not be anywhere near as strong as some other demons, but I'll show you how tough my shell is...and how weak you are." [As he senses the presence of more clones Jinmen throws out his injured arm to ward off the attackers. This of course leads to his alredy wounded arm into an even worse state. He pulls it back just in time for the volley of bullets to just graze it.] "Ma....ma? It's so cold mama...." [Jinmen moved his shell as soon as he heard the first shot, his goal was simple, have Blake kill a human. And that's just what happened. The shot aimed at his back had went straight through the eye of the little girl Blake saw first. A large hole where her left eye once was and a look of sheer terror plastered on her now still face.] "Now you've done it! You killed her! She was alive and well and you just offed her without a care in the world. Who's the real monster here, you demon!" [Another cloud would roll in just in time for Jinmen to make his escape. He'd also throw up some more dirt for good measure.] "Kekeke...how's it feel to be a murderer?" [And with that, the clouds part and Jinmen is nowhere to be seen.]

Killed a girl? That seems unlikely at best, more probable is that the bastard uses some sort of illusion based on victims... Or worse, he's eating their damn souls somehow and calling it up from that, either way, Blake's not buying that girl was alive any more than she'll buy that Adam Taurus hasn't gone mad. "Weak huh? Funny coming from the guy who ran away at the first chance, and a murderer, hah. The only murderer here is the one devouring innocent people." She might well be telling herself that to try and believe it entirely, but regardless... Even if those people aren't dead yet, they're clearly suffering horribly, "Jinmen" has to go. No matter what he tries to use as a shield. That in mind, the Huntress departs, rushing off into the blackness of the night and wondering just what the hell a "Demon" is anyway.

*As the clouds part, Nero looks over his shoulder, expecting the arm to be rushing him but is surprised to see it vanished into thin air.* Tch. Not worth my time after all. I wonder what that was. *Nero hears a crunch under his feet. Looking down, he notices he's standing on the newspaper he thought he had lost to the winds. Happily, Nero picks it up, finds a bench and sits down. He takes note of the section of the news about disappearances.* I see. So that was it. Heh. Take it a bit more than that to steal my life away. I wonder how this investigation will go. Keh ha ha ha.
