i. — a call to arms

[ from one fight to the next. combat is something that nyx isn't a stranger to, so when the call for all able-bodied folk is placed, he's pretty much right there in a heartbeat. the call of the fight isn't what summons nyx, but the fact that they need help. what's done is done back home, isn't it? he's done. if he's going to be stuck here, but alive, then he's going to let them put him to good use.

particularly after they pieced him back together so well.

of course, there are adjustments that have to be made. nyx is so used to the king's magic, the gift of the ring temporarily loaned to him. now he really is on his own, half forgetting when he throws his knife that he must be sure to pick it up instead of warping straight alongside it (it happens a few times, but he recovers with a shocking grace--it's almost like he meant to do it, hahahahahaha...)

one thing's for sure: this guy is really good with a knife. one in his hand is a mean, curving thing, slicing through the air effortlessly while the other is a standard knife that the perimeter guard have loaned to him. it looks oddly out of place next to the other, but clearly nyx is managing. maybe you're fighting right beside him and racking up a hella sweet body count--he'll have your back.

later on, he's off to the side as the fighting has begun to significantly die down, tying off a new wound to staunch the bleeding until they can return to the city proper. give him a hand? ]

Hey. I'm Nyx. Couple quick questions:

What were you all doing before you were brought here? And the whole tunnel monsters thing. That doesn't happen often, does it? Just curious.

v. — don't look up

[ except do, because there's a guy just kind of kicking it on a rooftop surveying the city from above. it's nothing like insomnia (nothing ever will be, really) but nyx has found a weird peace here, just looking. he takes in the view for a good while before deciding that sitting around isn't for him and using the rooftops to get a good layout of the city. yes. that's right.

he's gonna do a little casual rooftop running to get a good layout of the city. he's a flash of black as he moves, observing various streets, choke points in alleys, major buildings, the long, tattered sashes rippling from behind him in purple streaks.

he'll figure out the city down below on foot later okay? tell him to get down? good luck. join him? much better. your choice! ]
