(Did you improvise all of that Nicko?)
Roulin nodded in agreement once again. He was glad that he was able to bring this news to Lucien before the island tried to oust him. That was the real answer to Luciens question. As selfish as it may have been, Roulin did not want any Owls to fight him especially if they had just one ability. Undoubtedly, they'd lose unless their power was supplemented by an outside force. Cecilia may could hold her own, but her raw power would require her losing control. Lucien could do the same amount of damage and still remained focused. "Well, Lucien, if you'd be so kindest as to not get yourself into trouble, that'd be awesome. In fact, leaving your room just may be what the public needs to pin you. That much I'm sure of."
~I can say that I'm impressed, but that's not what's bothering me Lucien. Out of all the things you mentioned, you didn't mention bombs being placed on just floor X and down about five floors. Please tell me that they are your bombs....~

(( Haha yeah all of that was on the fly, I was really thinking hard to come up with stuff out of knowhere. ))
Lucien continued to look out the window as Roulin talked outloud. "Perhaps. But if I wasn't an actor I wouldn't be able to survive in this world." He said as he turned around. His physical appearance suddenly changed, his hair became a dark blonde, his eyes were a pale blue and his skin contained a more tan color to it. He smiled, he had grown a few inches and appeared to be a few more well built. He smiled and walked back towards them. "Animal Splice, a very unique power, it's similar to shapeshifting, but it allows me to shift different parts of my body rather then my entire body if I choose to." He said with a small smile.
~Bombs? yes i placed a few, but not many they're to inacurate and can detonate without provocation. Wait down on which floors? I only placed bombs near the lower levels and on this floor?~ He said as he suddenly looked much more serious. ~Could someone have permeated my security? No.....Wait.~ he began thinking about every person who had entered the building he had memorized their faces and auras. ~Let me see, thirty four people had a slightly higher power then the others, 4 of them had substancially higher power. I followed numbers 213-227 rather carefully they're clean. People numberes 23-85 and 122-176 were unimportant they barely had Owl presences. I suppose someone could have slipped through my netword. Dammit, if I hadn't taken this vacation I wouldn't have dropped my guard.~ It was odd to think with all the traps in place that that was Lucien with his guard down.

Cecilia didn't seem bothered by the fact that her theories had been thrown out the window. She couldn't get them all right, now could she? She waited patiently as Lucien left the room then came back into more formal attire. She was silent once again for the most part watching the silent telepathic conversation between Roulin and Lucien. She did not know what they were saying as she wasn't exactly blessed with telepathic abilities, but it was most likely something very important. It was then that a fear gripped her that she rarely ever felt. This fear was something that only happened when something was truly wrong. She looked down at her hands and saw hives. Yes, something definitely was fixing to happen. I have a bad feeling about all of this, she thought scratching her hand vigorously. ((Sorry that post sucked. I have the worst case of writer's block right now.))

☆═━┈┈━═☆☽Ӑᾐᾷ ℒȏςҟɦӑѓť☾☆═━┈┈━═☆ There was relief in her eyes as she watched Lorna, a small thank you escaping her lips as she walked a bit behind her. She knew most of the reasons why the girl was like that, herself being in the same boat at times. Ana also hated the humans, the humans that glared at her, stalked her from afar. However there was an underlying sense of pity and understanding that she had towards them that only made her kill when she had no other choice.
"There are many better ways to hurt them. Even if it's sneaking up to the top and become the hierarchy. That hurts them more than death," she murmured, her hand pulling back her hair in a thick ponytail. Ana's eyes glowed gently around the rim of her pupils, her power ready at a moments notice.

~~The Snow Owl~~ As quiet as the Snow.... Sakura blinked at Lucien. She was definately a traveller of the world, she had even gone to depths of the sea that no man had witnessed. Due to her travels she had been called many thing letting most of them roll off of her like a wave rolls off the shore. Still she wasn't used to many compliment not that she hadn't been called lovely before. Sakura was just used ot being the one to stroke another's ego with her flirtacious ways and was still generally thrown off when flipped. She tore her gaze from Lucian to look at Cecilia as she spoke. The young woman definately had use, her deductive reasoning was very sharp indeed. When she heard mention of the Heralds however Sakura's expression turned to one of amusment. Ember was sadistic, yes; but sloppy, definately no. THe thought was amusing to the herald that apposed that woman. When Lucien refered to her as the Herald of Water her gaze snapped back to him. Very few knew about her identity, only the ones who had been apart of the "Nol incident" knew anything about herald's actual identities. Still she didn't want this information spread around. She sighed shaking her head. "Why don't I just shout it to the heavens" Sakura mumbled thought it was nearly impossible to tell what she was refering to. She looked between Roulin and Lucien as the silence in the room deepened. "So something has happened yes?" she said sitting up a little bit more. Sakura noted the shifts in Lucien's appearance with a bit of curiousity but let the spark sizzle out. SOmething of greater interest was about to unfold. But as Deadly as the Sea

Dwyte/Mail The Separated Owl Mail gave Raven a true smile as she greeted him. "I'm also glad I woke up in time for this fiasco." Mail claimed his voice still heavy with Romanian accent, though he improved through time he spent with the Fallen Phoenix. "With Kojiro? I'll be fine with it." He said waving it off looking towards Kojiro and gave a slight shrug. Hearing the hiss of the train come to a stop Mail stood up stretching feeling his shoulder pop as he left the train with his partner. "...I am going to avoid too much attention until we get to our target..." Mail nodded, "Got it, let's go." He said going through the crowd, already annoyed with the massive amount of people. So heavy in population, the fact that him just moving his arm up he would hit the person on his side. He narrowed his eyes and hummed, "I doubt, i'll be able to contain myself." He muttered as he walked along Kojiro.

(Totally needed that nap after today. Your post didn't suck Luna. If that's a bad post, then your good posts most be astounding.)
Roulin felt uneasy. He had just confirmed with Lucien that he, as well as the top quarter of the building was standing atop a few bombs. Needless to day, anyone would. For those that couldn't fly and teleport, it was game over. Against the ground floor, many many cylinders. They represented humans. Roulin, the team's scope, focused, bringing them all into clear view. In the lobby was a hooded figure with a rectangular device in his hand. It was a remote. Cecilia's hands began to develope hives. The universe's way of letting her know that she was in peril.
"You guys...We seriously need to--" The floor erupted with smoke and the six large marble post that held the floor's position cracked. An immense explosion had taken place beneath them about two floors below. Whatever Lucien had taken the time to put on a shelf was now against the ground. If it was glass or china, then it was now shattered. "Damn it! We need to get out of here! The guy controlling bombs haven't set them all off yet!" The once flat level that was floor X began to shift and tilt as the upper areas started to buckle upon themselves. This floor was trying to fall. When it seemed certain that it was, the culprit would activate the other bombs. "The windows! We need to get to the windows!"

Cecilia opened her mouth to speak, but before she could utter a sound, she felt the vibrations of an explosion in the floor and heard something in Lucien's suite fall to the floor. It was then the floor began to buckle and shift causing her to nearly lose her balance, but she managed to regain her composure. "Dumnezeu să ne ajute," she said, her eyes wide with fear, but instead of panicking, she ran towards the nearest window and wrenched it open before grabbing the top half of it and sliding out feet first. Her energy spiked just enough for her to suspend in mid air, floating, her body glowing with a midnight blue energy. "We might still be able to catch him!" she cried. ((I hope that's what Cecilia was supposed to do. If not, I'll go back and edit my post. Oh and translation: "God help us." Cecilia is from Romania.))

Lucien's eyes opened a little wider as he opened his mouth to say something. "Wait, what about the-" The explosions erupted causing the room to shake. Lucien wobbeled as the tower shook wildely. "Damned fool!" He shouted as he thrusted his hand towards the window. Instantly the wall sized windows shattered crumbling under his glass manipulation. He grunted as he ran towards the window leaping out he began to plummet towards the ground.
Closing his eyes he felt the wind rush powerfully around him. "I......" He whispered as a pair of black feathered wings suddenly shot from his back flapping powerfully they sent him back into the air, He exhaled a little his eyes still closed as he hovered in the air. He looked up towards where he had previously leapt. "Let's move!" He flapped his wings as he hurried towards the ground, there were still people in the hotel, some would be injured and need help. He flew towards the front doors as his body burst into his signature mist cloud. It flooded the hotel of scrambeling screaming people as slowly they all began to dissolve into mist, those on the very bottom floor at least. His mist exitted the area trying to avoid the crumbeling build and the fire from the explosions.
The staff and whoever was on the first floor appeared in the streets around the hotel, naturally they went back to screaming as they ran from the immediate area. Lucien formed his body in the middle of the floor. He thrusted his hand up as he deflected a falling slab of what was once the ceiling. He spun around using his super human strength he smashed open a door to the fire escape which allowed people who had begun to funnel down them out into the main lobby and out the front doors. He coughed a little as the smoke from the fire filled his lungs. Using his Periodic Manipulation he let his salvitory glands in his mouth to secrete oxygen allowing him to breathe while keeping his mouth closed. He looked around trying to see if there was anyone else he wasn't a monster yet which meant he could still care about these Owls. The culprit detonated the bomb, which meant he had to be in the area, or his bombs wouldn't have been able to be detonated. "Worthless imposter. Playing pretend are we? Impersonating the strong, or was it to frame the strong? How pointless." He said to himself as he looked around, his eyes suddenly became purple again as he looked around, if he could see words floating in the air he knew someone that needed to be saved was around.

Solaris Beauty Elle looked at her sister. She sometimes wondered about Erin...was she sure of who she was? There were things that Elle sometimes wondered about her and her sister but for some reason, being with the Night OWLS was where they belonged so far. Elle had been receiving feelings that something strong...something that needed to be apart of their hive mind was awakened. She had heard tales of the phoenix and her and sister have even probed the minds of their team mates, witnessing the power it gave off. Elle soon shook her head, looking back at her sister. Erin sometimes I worry about you....if you ever need to talk let me know. By the way, have you been taking notes of everyone who we work with? Have you been able to feel any other psychics near us at times? she asked her sister in portuguese. She hadn't sensed anything but perhaps Erin did, she was always good with detail, somewhere Erin fell short in, always looking and planning ahead.

~Good. At least they're out...~ He was mistaken. There was still Sakura who was sliding toward the southern wall of the room. Great. Half of him wanted to leave her, but the other side, his humane side, wanted to save her. He released the floor and fell against the wall where Sakura had landed. He took her hand, grinning against all odds and looked up at the window which seemed to be facing the sky now. From the setup, the building was going through a backwards implosion. Whatever their would be assailant knew about construction was dead wrong. At least he left him floor that he could fly off of.
The bombs of the upper floor detonated sending waves of heat, melted plaster and more glass their way. Roulin wasn't about to succumb to such human methods of killing. He jumped from the floor blasting through shrapnel, slabs of marble and fire. Taking flight, he shot out of the building and took his position besides Lucien and Cecilia with a smile only his father usually could give. "Whoa...that was close...is everyone alright?"

IBlameRoadSuess Nikolai smiled and spoke lightly, "Well, see, I like the idea of having red eyes. I think it'd add nicely to my hair." Nik ran a hand through his short hair and ruffled it a bit. He smiled and listened as Anya poked at him for not having a job. Nik replied simply, "Well, it's not as though I've tried yet. But it's either a singer at a club, a masseuse or a male prostitute, and no establishment has really caught my eye. I'm sure something will come up. We've got enough cash on us to last us til the end of the month. If I could go down to the city and get to a bank, I could get us another million or so. But they aren't too fond of people like us at the moment..." Nik dropped behind Anya and switched sides, coming back up to her side on her left, twirling and saying, "What kind of job would you take? I'd say hostess, but that business kinda died with the Japan thing... I'm just gonna guess and say... waitress? No... I honestly can't picture you in any sort of job other than your old one at the UNS... " Nik hummed lightly along with the music that was playing over his headphones, causing a few people to stare at him, but he was used to that by now. He continued to follow Anya on her quest to make them some money, keeping an eye out for somewhere reputable he could at least try and work. Something dinged in Nik's mind and he twirled in front of Anya and said, "I'm also flattered that you chose blue for your eye color to be more like me, but I just don't think blue works for you. And how can you still be annoyed by the fact that I'm following you around? I mean come on, it's been a year and a half. I still found it funny how that one girl thought we were a couple at the wedding. What was her name? Was it Amaya who asked? We had fun at the wedding didn't we? I wasn't especially fond of the fact that it was in Hawaii, but other than that it was nice."
"I'd work in any sort of retail or shopping market if possible. I am not going to sign up for a stupid hostess club or anything like that, so get your mind out of gutter, Nikolai...." Anya retorted with a slight scowl coming to her face at the mere idea of working as a 'hostess' in a Japanese style place. At that moment, Anya and Nik were passing by Exire's main hotel. That was when a loud explosion sounded from above them. Anya jumped and instantly looked up at the hotel. Her eyes widened when she saw smoke and pieces of brick and concrete from the hotel's structure were falling down around them. "Look out!" She shouted to Nik as she grabbed his arm and basically dragged him with her out into the street to get out of the way of a big piece of falling concrete.

Mahareshi "I've realized. That's why I need my deck back or someone who can teleport. When I get what I need, the whole thing will be like taking candy from a baby." When Will walked towards the door, Che's body began to a give off a low hum. He was preparing to leave the room as well. Before he could escape his thoughts and memories of Roulin, Moli, Felicia and Dante, he spoke to William once more. "Sleep? What is that? I have a future to change Mr. Ambiguous. I'll be seeing you out there." Che, using one of the five powers he had on him, shot out of the room leaving only a black and white streamline which vanished soon thereafter. Now that that part of his life was over, he truly needed rest. Where could he go to find sleep though? "I guess now is the time to see how useful Kate can actually be. Damn it all." ((not much for Kate to do until Che finds her.))

Cecilia scanned the area for signs of Roulin and Sakura. The immense amount of smoke that was being given off from the flames maid it hard for Cecilia to see. Finally, she sighed in relief as she saw the two of them emerge. She nodded in response to his question before looking down below. "I can barely see a thing! But something tells me that the culprit is nearby!" She flew higher up into the air in order to get a better view. It was then she caught a glimpse of figure cloaked in black. "I think I see someone! That could be him!" She hoped she was right. She did not want to be the cause of the culprit escaping if she had chosen the wrong person. They had to catch him, and fast.

Roulin's eyes remained hidden beneath the darkened sunglasses. He'd seen the man that Cecilia had pointed out. She was right in her guess. The man garbed in darkness was peeling off away from the building. "This guy doesn't know we're alive still...everyone, we have to follow him! C'mon." The Life Owl dropped to the street below. Above him, the explosion was taking it's toll on the rather impressive hotel. That was that. It may have had been the cornerstond of this area for it was the tallest building within sight. "I feel sorry for whoever has to pay for that." He found himself musing. He released his grip on Sakura's waist and let her drop about five feet to the ground. She was a Herald. She'd live.
After landing himself, he took aim and the lower back of the man who was trying to escape. Roulin then shot, releasing a stream of light that pierced the escapee where a kidney should be. The attack didn't stop him, but it caused him to bleed out a dark red liquid that ate through the ground on contact. Yup. This was the guy. This was the man who was trying to frame Lucien.
~~~
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." A familiar voice grew louder as it approached the nonchalant and lethargic Katherine. "Are you so heartless that you aren't going to help out in this region? I'm sure these poor people could use all the help you can give Kate. Right now, I know that I can." Che walked up the pile of rubble and stood beside the stoic woman with a wide grin. Bothering her was something the he loved so much, he'd even score himself on from time to time. It was this time that he actually needed her...somewhat.
