<i>A man awakens in the cave with short black hair, wearing a dark hood, a long shirt and odd pants that have belts hanging off of them, holding onto his head he looks around and investigates the table, strange things... He can't make sense of them. However when he hears a strange noise he jumps back, watching the hole silently, however when it reveals itself to just be a mole he takes a deep breath. Turning his attention to the other human.</i> &quot;Ah. Someone normal. How do you do?&quot;

<i>Hearing the hissing, the man backs off immediately, backstepping and getting an afraid look before realizing it isn't attacking and going back to a condescending tone.</i> &quot;Tsk, you accuse me of breaking and entering? I awoke here! Despicable pests don't deserve me respect! <i>The man then looks towards Luard and nods, bowing his head and taking a slight step forward before returning to a stand</i> &quot;My name is Aston, pleasure to meet you Luard. I suppose it matters not where I am. I'll find my way eventually. Thank you for your guidance.&quot;

<i>The man kicks his foot idly in the ground as he responds to Luard, noting the strange clothing the others had</i> &quot;Quite so... I expected to awaken at a clinic. Not a hole in the ground. Still, you seem quite out of place. Is this not Yhar- <i>The man then eyes the strange fusion of animal walk into the room and nearly strikes it with it's fist, however when it spies that it can talk and nobody is immediately hostile he takes to parley.</i> &quot;You... You talk? Explain yourself foul beast. Your home? I've never heard of malformed things talking residence. Even less in dirt.&quot;

<i>Aston simply stares at Rep with disdain before turning to the new person popping out, watching with an inquisitive glare,</i> Rep? Would that be this insect's name? Interesting... Well I should be off I suppose. No use hanging around in this hole. <i>Aston then looks around for a hole and jumps through it, going into the unknown!</i>

<i>Aston gets grabbed by the yoyo and begins to panic, trying to reach for the cleaver but missing, changing up his strategy and going with the pull, getting in close and placing his gun right up at point blank and firing a shot to attempt to stun</i> More vicious than any beast I've come across...

<i>Aston watches, confused as the mubling, however when he sees Yu go for the weapon he fires his weapon to stop her before rolling to grab the weapon, attempting to take the cleaver before backstepping again to create some distance</i>

<i>As she darts away the echos stop, silent without a holder, then Aston appears back at the entrance of the GYM and walks over to the blood, staring at Yu for a second before reaching and absorbing them with a slight glow, turning to his sparring partner</i> Eh? Did you try and do something with my Blood Echoes? It won't be very fun let me just tell you that, anyhow that was a good match, you did good.

<i>Aston stares in confusion at Yu, was she another hunter or perhaps something else? With all this talk of blood and levels it was confusing, especially the odd stare</i> Are you quite alright? <i>The slight lapse in concentration however is enough to let Yu slice a cut over Aston's chest, letting blood fly and soak his shirt, the wound causing Aston to stagger for a second as fear eclipses him, shaking it off though he dashes in and uses the saw to strike horizontally as well from the right to the left before switching directions, the force of the snap causing the wheel to turn and extend the blade outward like a cleaver,</i>

Fun huh? Well I can agree it's strange. <i>Aston prepares to fire but the jostle makes him lose his mark, the surprise of the parry leaves him defenseless to be jumped on and he falls to the ground on his knees, stunned and reeling, open to a counter attack</i> Damn!<div class='edited'>(edited by The_Dream)</div>

Yeah that'll do that. They are called Blood Echoes for a reason. <i>Aston then wipes away and cleans his weapons before placing them away into hammer space, thinking about her question before pulling out a small ball of congealed blood</i> Blood Echoes, they come from the enemies I kill as a Hunter, I would say they are akin to screams of death. This small ball here is coldblood, congealed echos, I use these echos to improve my abilities. Does that answer your question?
