Who's there? [OPEN]

Walk they said. It won't take long and you will enjoy the afternoon breeze. That's what they said, but the night had already fallen and the boy was still walking, without a clue of where he was. How could one get lost in the city where he lives? Unknown. But incidentally, Ryuji had once again used his awfully failing magic tricks and managed to do what was impossible. The worst part was that the more he walked, the less people he came across, the less lights his vision captured and the less friendlier the environment got. The average houses came to be replaced by wrecked walls and broken windows. The place looked more like the city of the dead than the one of the living. Even worse? His phone was out of battery. Yup, how much more unlucky could someone get?

Starting to worry a bit too much, the boy stopped walking forward and turned around in hopes of possibly going back the way he got into this haunting place. But it was in vain. The only thing he faced as he turned around was the same picture of run down houses. He tried to stay calm and let out a low breath as he took another look around. There had to be some way out. Turning around yet again, he started walking once more, with his hands in his jacket and his head high up inspecting the place around him. Soon his steps lead him to another creepy and unwanted thing. The entrance to a cemetery. Great. Just great.

"Why... why did it have to come to this?"

There Alvero was, in his usual night attire. His intimidating mask and long, flowing clothes. The presence that emanated off of him as he was now at this evening truly looked like that of the grim reaper. And yet... why would such a presence be kneeling in this cemetery? Surely such a presence wasn't, perhaps... sympathetic for lost souls?

It did appear that way. For this boy, this cemetery housed quite a few of his own. Comrades, friends, allies... whatever you wanted to call them, he held a great deal of respect for the dead he had come here to see on this night, and although it wasn't visible or obvious, tears were rolling down his face inside that mask.

To most ordinary people, this place would be frightening. But if he was to take up this persona of his, such superstitions are something he wouldn't be struck by.

He was taken out of his trance, however, when he heard movement nearby. He rose to his feet once more, and in a ghostly and elegant fashion, turned around to see a person there. He seemed lost, standing at the entrance in the way that he was. Alvero stayed in that same standing position, probably looking ominous as he did so, awaiting to see what this newcomer would want from such a place as this.

"It's a rather nice night for a stroll, is it not?"

Continues chills ran down his spine as his vision caught something that he definitely didn't want to see. His eyes were wide open and his lips slightly parted as he faced the black figure. An orange mask hid its face, revealing only his right eye. This was one of the rare occasions in which Ryuji could not even manage to articulate a single word. Based on his surroundings, the thought of supernatural beings was something that swirled around his head at the moment

"G-Ghost..."

That was the only thing that finally succeeded in escaping his mouth. The boy was not someone who would easily yield in any kind of situation, but this certain one wasn't giving him much room to do otherwise. But even with that in mind, his body wouldn't move an inch. He was completely paralyzed by fear. Paralyzed by fear? It had been quite some time since that had last happened.

Alvero let out a small chuckle to himself when he heard the word ghost uttered from the person before him. He started to move forward, step by step, each step with a certain essence in it, like a mirage of sorts.

"I can assure you, I'm a long ways from dead." he stated in a gentlemanly fashion that had a certain elegance to it, his voice much deeper than it usually was, which would make it hard for anyone at all to guess he was younger than he was. He was a professional at this disguise by now, after all.

He eventually walked until he was only about 5 feet away from this person.

"...But I wouldn't hold it against you to think such."

His eye from inside the mask was intense, and at the same time, very cold and calm the moment. The darkness would make it seem like the eyehole of the mask would dig on inside for ages.

[OoC: I hope you don't mind if I join.]

A cold breeze caressed her cheeks that caused her to arose from her slumber. What? Yes, slumber. Sena rubbed her eyes trying to fight off her sleepy head. Once her senses were back to life, she almost jumped upon realizing that she was in the cemetery. The place was dark and haunting, not to mention cold. Looking at the gravestone in front of her recollection came to mind --- oh yes, she was visiting her departed brother whom she never met her entire life, to rant about how vile this world can be, and how her disease is killing her softly, and when all her energy was drained she decided to take a quick snooze which eventually turned into a heavy sleep. Sena frequently visits her brother's grave since the time she knew she was ill, only to let go of all the things that cloud her head.

She stood and quickly dusted off her clothes. Then, she tried to march her way out of the dark and scary cemetery hoping she'll get to the exit unharmed or that she won't get lost along her way, getting lost being possible since it's really hard to tread this pitch-dark place. She braved the paths trusting only her instincts.

There was not a single living soul found during her walk. Almost losing her patience and almost just dragging her feet to walk, she heard voices from not afar. She followed it to find two people --- or she presumed they are humans ---- facing each other. Finally, someone like her --- someone breathing, living, and warm-blooded. Though she hadn't seen one of the men's face as she could only see his back, Sena presumed she's finally safe...or not.

With a cheery tone, she greeted them, "At last, humans! Heeeellllloooooooo~"

Ryuji took a mechanical step back as the figure started approaching him. Was this the end? Would he die a terrible death leaving no trace behind? Oh the tragedy! He gulped down harshly before he slowly tried to reach to his jacket's pocket for his pocket knife. Even though a knife would probably not work on a ghost, the boy would do anything to avoid sudden death. Besides, it was pointless for him to die here and now. No one else was around and thus no one would fuzz over his death. And we wouldn't want that now, would we?

Fortunately for him though, the man in black reassured him soon enough that he was far from being a ghost. Ryuji found himself sighing in relief, something he partly regretted afterwards, not because of the fact that the man had moved even further towards him and had practically taken back his words by leaving Ryuji to decide whether he would take him for a ghost or not. It was because of the sudden realization that he was not alone with that man. Standing a distance behind him there was a blonde girl greeting them cheerfully. How could he have lowered his guard like that? Oh well, at least now he wasn't alone with the gho-- man. Man. It was a man.

He looked behind a moment when he saw the girl. Blonde from the looks of it, and seemed to have come from further out in the cemetery. Alvero was somewhat impressed at that feat, for some reason. Well, it was a graveyard with many rumors circling it, after all. Maybe it wasn't so odd to show a bit of admiration for her courage.

"Women shouldn't be walking about at this hour... why don't you hurry on home?" he said with a bit of an aggressive tone, but in reality he was concerned. She seemed innocent enough, at least at first glance, that Alvero wouldn't want her involved in any potential danger that could happen upon these poorly lit streets outside the cemetery.

Still, he was fully ready for any type of danger to strike at any time.

Sena smiled at the guy with a pale cyan hair and was ready to give another to the man who has his back on her...until he looked behind, revealing his masked visage. His mask was odd, it was orange and it only revealed his right eye. The aura of the mask --- or let's say the man himself ---- is very frightening that upon seeing it Sena's heart almost leaped and instinctively stepped back. Because she was unaware of what the two men were talking about earlier, and because the masked man scared the hell out of her, Sena failed to hear what he said and quickly shrieked on top of her lungs, "AAAAAAAAA!"

More steps backwards were taken as her face spelled fear. But at the back of her mind her head was commanding her to compose herself as her current reaction must be offending the stranger. Then, she stopped moving backward and tried to face them even if her knees were a bit shaking, and so did her voice, "oh..oh...uhm...S-sorry f-for my rea-reaction earlier --- eheheheh..." she nervously scratched the back of her head as she continued, "uhm, errr..yeah, ugh...s-sorry...ugh, you're -- you saying?"

The girl's reaction wasn't all that weird, considering it could have been his reaction if he had not kept calm. She seemed to calm down as time passed, although the shaking knees were visible to everyone. Ryuji didn't really have anything to gain from this -maybe it was because her trembling voice was annoying him-, but he felt the urge to reassure her that the man was nothing to fear.

"He's not a ghost or anything. There's nothing to be afraid of."

His voice sounded bored, something that quite matched his current features. He was probably still doubting if the man was actually a man and not some kind of monster, but he just didn't want that dreadful fate he thought about before to take over him and thus he continued trying to stay calm and think logically.

Alvero rubbed the back of his head as the current events were going on. He realized it would probably be stupid to expect a proper conversation wearing this outfit in the dead of night, inside a graveyard, with no one else around, as a complete stranger...

He mentally facepalmed, and almost considered breaking a character to enjoy some proper socialization. God knows the last time he's had any of that with anyone besides an organization member... but he decided it wouldn't be wise and would just come back to bite him dead in the ass later.

"...In any case, why are the both of you out here this late? You are aware of the rumors circling around here, are you not? It is indeed dangerous around here... or at least, I believe so. A firm believer in spirits, if you would."
