<i>Unfortunately for the Dark Magician, he was a bit too preoccupied with his own introduction to notice Alex's initial sprint. Once Schezo looks back to his prey, he notices Alex dashing off to a side alleyway and makes chase, paying no heed to Sho, who naturally witnesses the whole thing</i> Where do you think you're going? I didn't even finish yet. <i>Schezo quickly sheathes his sword, focusing energy into his left hand, which is covered in a thin layer of frost before he announces</i> ICE STORM!!! <i>Thrusting his left hand forward, Shizo sends a flurry of ice into the ground around Alex, making the area much slipper and hopefully giving him a chance to catch up to the other</i><div class='edited'>(edited by Schezo)</div>

A ro... <i>Schezo stands there for a moment, rethinking his words. The young man rapidly shakes his head, cheeks reddening as he attempts to correct his mistake</i> Wait, no. You've got it wrong. I meant your power is nowhere near as massive as my own, were we to compare you'd come up quite short. <i>Schezo takes a deep breath, recollecting himself to calmly point his blade at Sho</i> Trust me, he wasn't going to put up much of a fight. Just a few careful thrusts and I'm sure I could coax it out of him. If I want something, I'm going to take it, consent or no.

I took my title from Yugioh

OOC: That's fine. I should probably be sleeping tbh. So if I suddenly stop posting... Uh.... That's why. IC: Its not that, I can measure you up just fine from here. Sure, you're psychic, but just because you've got different tools to work with doesn't make it any more impressive <i>If they're planning to stop him whenever something comes up, then its clear this person will be a hindrance to Schezo. He'd rather not resort to violence, but if they really insist there's really little choice in the matter. Schezo lunges towards Sho, lowering his sword slightly as he focuses energy in his left</i> Sting Shade!!! <i>Schezo thrusts his left hand forward, shooting out a bolt of dark energy aimed at Sho's hands. It wouldn't be too dangerous, aiming primarily to remove Sho's weapon, or at least give him a chance to get close</i>

<i>The young man raises an eyebrow, he had loudly announced his intention yes? Perhaps his target is deaf, there's little his magic can do about that. Schezo clears his throat</i> If you can hear me, nod your head. I said that I want you, you'd have to be an idiot not to understand that

What kind of daft assassin would jump out in front of their target in broad daylight before pausing to declare their intent? <i>Schezo continues pointing his sword at Alex as he looks off to the side, holding his left hand close to his heart while the right continues to wield his blade</i> I am Schezo, the dark magician. And I'm here to suck you dry<div class='edited'>(edited by Schezo)</div>

OOC: Seeing as its been 30 minutes and they're nowhere in sight, I'm going to assume that was their way of &quot;Nope&quot;ing out of the thread, which i must say is a new record. In which case guess I'd better rewind. IC: <i>Schezo hardly even noticed his target leaving the unspecified area, intent as he was in his own introduction. The young man grins and turns to the newcomer, still pointing his sword where Alex was</i> I was merely advancing upon the young lad here in order to ensure my attentions were clear. So if you could stay out of it.... <i>That's when Schezo finally opens his eyes to see Alex is no longer there, of all the times... Must be some sort of ninja assassin or something. Oh well, maybe next time</i> Or not. And I was so close to finishing with him too.

Not another step further <i>A young man with light-blue hair, wearing an old-fashioned swordsman's garb completely with breastplate and greaves leaps down from a nearby building, landing in front of Alex and pointing his sword at them</i> Lets keep this short shall we? I want you.

<i>Schezo raises an eyebrow, pointing his sword at Sho instead, the kid doesn't really look like much, though the weapon's kinda interesting, probably nothing too dangerous for him</i> I'm afraid you're not really my type. However big you think yours is, I promise mine's bigger. It might be best for you to stop wasting both of our times and go off on your own rather than searching for a partner.
