Who: Laharl the Terrible and YOU!
Where: One of those new jewelry stores
When: Evening
Style: I'll match
Status: OPEN! Heroes, villains, or innocent bystanders welcome~

Forget the rest of the so-called villains. Their ideas of villainry just don't mesh with Laharl's--all that nonsense about distracting the heroes and tiptoeing their way around a good fight.

Laharl is a demon. He enjoys overpowering others more than outwitting them or outmaneuvering them. And it's difficult (and not much fun) to convince anyone of how strong you are without a good demonstration. He doesn't know what foolish mortal summoned him to this world, but since they haven't done a very good job of binding him to any contract, it's high time to exert his own will on the city.

The self-proclaimed Lord of Terror can be found robbing one of Vatheon's largest, finest (and newest) jewelers in broad daylight (well, maybe the more later stages of daylight; he still can't be bothered to wake early). After frightening them into submission with a show of literal fire power, he's enlisted the staff and customers to clean the cases for him. This isn't only about getting loot that isn't wads of paper, it's about recruiting minions. The grin on his face is about as far from friendly as it gets, and he's eagerly anticipating that one of those heroes will show up any minute now.

"See? Everyone cooperates and I might just spare you any unsightly burns."

"Oi oi, what's all this?"

Shiro is no superhero. He hadn't gone by that title for some years now. In fact, he wasn't even wearing a costume or anything: he had just been out shopping and had seen Laharl committing a crime.

Laharl looks way too young to be involved in criminal activity, so Shiro figures he can talk the kid down without getting any superheroes involved. He has a lot of experience with villains, so he's hoping he can stop this with words alone.
paladaddy: (Now that's a funny joke.)

"I'll pass," Shiro said simply. Fangs didn't scare him, so he kept his voice calm and cheerful the whole time he spoke. "I didn't know kids were into jewelry. What are you going to do, wear it all? That would look pretty silly, if you ask me."
paladaddy: (well...)

[personal profile] paladaddy 2013-07-21 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
"It would be a lot easier to just buy them," Shiro said. His eyes were on the fireball, but he wasn't reacting outwardly to it yet. If Laharl started getting fire-happy then he could duck behind a counter and go from there.

With that in mind, he decided to try to trick Laharl. "At least then you wouldn't have to worry about all those tracking devices in the jewelry."
paladaddy: (♪)

[personal profile] paladaddy 2013-07-21 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
"No, it means they'll find you no matter where you go with them. Tracking devices let superheroes follow you. Didn't you ever wonder why jewelry thieves always get caught in the end?"

Shiro glances over at the store workers, then back at Laharl. He's wondering if maybe he can distract Laharl long enough for the workers to get away safely.

The person who comes into the jewelers is not a hero at all. In fact, Laharl might recognize him from the meeting called by Medica. It's the smarter of the Jeckel Brothers, Undertaker, or just Kurloz, depending on what you know him as.

What he's doing going into a jewelery store without minions isn't exactly clear, but he doesn't seem too put out to find the place being ransacked when he comes in.

He shakes his head adamantly at that. What use does he have for jewelery or money? Hardly any. Riches don't interest him, religion does. In fact, he's more than happy to help Laharl in obtaining them, because when he walks in further, it's toward the captives, not toward any of the shop's expensive wares. He gestures from his own eyes toward the shopkeepers- apparently he's content to simply guard them.

Show up one does... of a sort.

Disciple had been passing by the jewelry store on her to the local library where she was due for her day shift. She had the horns typical of her race, one of many that resided her in the city. She looked particularly meek and unassuming for one of her race, rather short too. She clutched a book in her hands as she awkwardly makes her way into the front door of the store being robbed.

She did not know why she was doing this. She just wanted to go about her normal life as a librarian, but she was being spurred on by the voice in the back of her head. Long ago, a terrible thing had happened to her, and a powerful spirit of nature, one known as the Huntress, made itself known to her. It offered her a deal, as a result she has become its reluctant host.

-This demonic thing is not of our world, Cub. Do not let it continue to harm the weak. Step in there and protect them. Or I will.-

The voice in her head urged her forward as she enters, and in a booming, heroic voice voice she murmurs "P-please stop stealing, mister."
feralfanatic: (Shock Line)

"Uhm..." She quips. Disciple was really on her A-game today. Here she was putting herself into danger just because of the totem spirit that had nested in her mind. Why had she ever taken that deal, she could not remember. She just wanted to get to her shift at the library and have a nice relaxing day at work.

-You made the deal, because you need me, meek thing. Give me control and I will show this demon his way home.

The Troll visibly shakes her head in response to the voice driving her onward, and then realizes she is still quite in danger. The demon in front of her was the real deal.

"Y-yes. You should know that... a normal person, when pushed can be capable of startling feats of strength due to release of adrenaline and other bodily chemicals. Stop stealing and... turn yourself in. Please." She says sounding wholly uncertain.

The voice in her head just sighs in exasperation.
feralfanatic: (Crying Forward)

The voice in her head was getting livid. Disciple tries her best to ignore her. Giving herself over to the spirit made her feel like she lost part of herself each time. She only willingly gave herself over in the direst of circumstances.

-Call on my strength, Troll. I will show him the very meaning of the word! Raawwrrggg! This arrogant Impling needs to be shown his place!-

Disciple blanches a little at the Huntress' mounting anger, but refuses to cede control. There had to be a way of getting the demon to stop, right?

"Not... N-not a threat, no. A warning... maybe. It... I uhhh... Wouldn't want anyone to get hurt."

Tohru had just been minding her own business, walking by the jewelry store after getting groceries, but when she peered inside, she was pretty sure she recognized the guy was. Since she wasn't effected by the curse, she started to panic. it's not like she could help in anyway, but at the same time why was the person whose house she cleaned doing what he was doing.

"I know what he said, but I didn't think he'd go that far. Those poor people, yet, I can't do anything to help them." She said as it only took her about a minute to realize maybe trying to find a phone and calling the police, might help. "Phone, phone." She said as she started to look in her bag for her starfish. Maybe it could be used to call for help, but when she looked. It wasn't there, causing the young girl to panic even more.

"I must of left it at home." So with that going on, all Tohru could do for now was panic and generally have no idea what to do next.
changingtheflavor: (Eh | Not a good idea)

[personal profile] changingtheflavor 2013-07-24 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
Tohru couldn't help but jump slightly, she had really been hoping to not get noticed by her boss. Though he didn't call her by name or anything, just woman. Did he do that before? She couldn't recall.

"I...Uh. I was just going home, that's it."
changingtheflavor: (Eh | What is this?)

[personal profile] changingtheflavor 2013-07-26 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
While usually she would enjoy being rather helpful, she knew this was being helpful for pretty much all the wrong reasons.

"But, what you're doing isn't very nice."
changingtheflavor: (Calm | For the beautiful people)

[personal profile] changingtheflavor 2013-07-31 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
"But... Why would you go to these lengths? I don't quite understand."

Which she didn't, but currently she isn't moving.
changingtheflavor: (Shock | Oh my)

[personal profile] changingtheflavor 2013-08-01 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Wa-Wait, you are going to make people do more horrible things?" She said sounding surprised. She didn't like the sound of it at all and yet, she was too terrified to really do anything about it.
changingtheflavor: (Sob | I'm so sorry)

[personal profile] changingtheflavor 2013-08-02 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
"o-Oh, I-I see. i'm sorry. I'll help, really." She doesn't know what he'll do, but she does know it probably wasn't going to be a good thing.
