Hunting the Beast

[Red]

Red had set out nearly a week ago towards Tenka to look for the rumoured Meigara clan survivor that claimed to be sighted here. Red followed the rumours and hints that various readings and people had given her and made her way towards the Chamonix Glaxials with a determined expression.

This was her first time on a vampire hunt alone and she had every intention on completing her mission properly. She headed out with a warm jacket on to keep from freezing and her necessary weapons on her person and headed out into the ice and snow.

Red wandered the desolate lands, keeping her eyes and nose peeled in every direction to pick up any sense of and oncoming threat. She was especially keeping notice for the scent of a vampire.

As she began to grow tired from the walk, but not seeing anything in side, not a sign of life or any real formation, Red didn't want to simply stop. Having been walking for hours and the day waning into early afternoon, however, she had to take a short break.

Red sat directly on the ground, facing the direction in which she was heading. When she was sat comfortable, she took in and released a deep breath and closed her eyes. She sat like that for nearly half an hour before picking up an approaching scent from still a few miles off.

Her nose twitched slightly and she opened her eyes. This scent was certainly human, she thought as she stood again. She kept her left foot pointing towards the direction in which she was heading while turning the rest of her body partway towards the direction in which the human was approaching.

Although this scent was certainly human, something seemed rather odd to her, as she noticed it had been getting closer and closer to her at an immense pace. She hadn't been around humans much, but she knew that this speed was certainly something strange. Because of this, she looked in the direction of the approaching person and waited. Just in case, she had her hand already gripping the handle of her gun.

[tag Duo XD ]

[Duo]

Snow, trees, snow, trees and more snow. That's how Duo sees it when he sped through Yuki Mori, so after being bored running around there, he was glad to get out of it and had unknowingly entered the Chamonix Glacials.

He has got to get himself a map of this place one of these days.

The glacial has no trees, just a vast sea of snow. A mass of snow on a giant mass of ice. A giant mass of ice being constantly pelted by different degrees of snow storms. This place is horrible, with no map. 'Oh my god, I'm so bored.'

After hours of running with no sight of anyone, Duo hungers for human contact rather than water or food. He was running around in the first place to FIND someone, anyone, to ask if they know anything about soul exorcism of the sort.

He hopes Milly had better luck than him, at least she was stationed to look around in Quazmrl, while he's off to the rest of the snowy lands. Duo's not complaining though, with his speed he can cover more grounds, and he's happy that Milly's even helping him on this quest. 'But I'm so BORED!'

Of course he is.

Still, the boredom kept his eyes sharp despite the sea of white in his view, in hope to find something, anything, that resembles a human figure. Then suddenly, his wish came true. From the distance, he could see something small...or hunched down on the snow...or sitting on it.

Duo's eyes widened behind his goggles in utter exhilaration. He had to sport a pair of goggles on due to how the snowstorm would slap him in the face with his speed, heck he even tied a piece of cloth over his lower face as well so his immense speed and the insanely cold weather won't give him frostbites.

Seeing the person suddenly standing up means that they noticed him, 'And they're still ALIVE! YAY~!' He wanted to jump in happiness right then and there. When he deemed to be close enough to that person, Duo slowed down his speed, just enough for him to gain enough friction to stop himself right before this stranger.

Before he did stopped though, Duo's already raising his arm up in a wave when he's at an approachable distance, then slowing down into a stop right in front of this person. Immediately, he notices that this stranger is a woman.

"Oh you're a girl, I'm in luck, YES." Because girls are cute and Duo likes everything cute. His voice sounded muffled up though against the cloth he used to tied around his lower face, so Duo pushed up his goggles to rest on his hair and pulled down the cloth to act as his mini scarf, revealing his exhausted yet excited face.

There's a healthy glow of exercise due to all that running, and Duo's busy catching his breath, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. Once he gained control of his breathing, Duo grinned up at the woman. "Hai!" He greeted with a quick exhale, letting his breath carrying his voice.

"Oh gosh, I am so glad I'm seeing a human face, you have no idea. Ecstatic. Wait, where are my manners, I'm Duo! Hey, I really like your gloves there, do you know where I can get a pair? Because I'm usually running around like this, but I don't even have mittens, much less gloves, so I'm just tying thick clothes around my hands to warm them!"

And he spoke all of that in a single breath. After a pause, he added, "I'm REALLY bored, sorry!"
