Noctis had returned home to his apartment after a long day, he had recently been hired as a waiter at the veil and this had been his first day. Needless to say, he was exhausted and he looked forward to just relaxing for the rest of the day. He didn't even bother changing out of his uniform, just toed off his shoes at the door and progressed into the main room before collapsing onto the couch, his weapon within arm's reach.

"Tough day huh?" Riku said from the doorway. "Hope you don't mind but you left the door open." He walked over and seated himself on a couch. "So how was work?"

Noctis opened his eyes from where he sat, looking over towards Riku and for a moment was surprised to see him in his apartment. He had never even met this guy, he glanced towards his door to see if it was indeed open. "It was pretty busy." He paused for a few moments, furrowing his brow. "I could swear I had closed the door."

Something moved in the shadows; the thing which did didn't care if there was a witness.
This man would be easy to take back; no offensive abilities, nothing at all to resist with. His friend? Likely to not be a problem. Unfortunate, that he would have to be taken as well - if he were Otherborn too, at least he might be of some use.
The thing - and that was all it could be described as, no matter that it had once been a man - leaped at Noctis, showing in its scanner as the Target. It crawled like an animal on hands and once-human legs that had been twisted, shortened, mutated, the perfect killing soldier.
((Once again, this is a one-shot character.
Izaya: I disclaim all responsibility for this incident.))

"I have my ways around." Riku said bfore noticing something moving in the darkness. Calling Way To Dawn to his hand he told Noctis: "Tired or not, you'd better get on your feet looks like we've got company!"

Noctis glanced away from Riku, his eyes narrowing at the sight of something moving in the shadows. He cursed as it leaped towards them even as Riku called out. The young man dodged to the side, quickly darting for his sword which was resting against a wall nearby.

"I'll cover you!" Riku said as he ran at the creature quickly making short swipes with his sword and following it up by firing balls of darkness at it.

It growled at them; they had some fight in them after all! It leaped, using 'hands' as claws and teeth to bite. It went for a bite on Noctis, it's overly sharp teeth to deliver a paralyzing venom to allow it to carry the man back. If that failed.... well, it had it's other weapon. The one gifted to it by the Master. In the light, it was incredibly grotesque, a horrid sight to behold. |

Riku stood ready and launched another volley of dark balls at it momentarily confusing it. " Noctis, this place is a bit small, what do say we take this into the open?" Riku said.

Noctis had grabbed his sword, turning just in time to block the creature's teeth and grimacing at the horrid sight of it. "We have two choices. We can either go to the roof or out onto the street." He replied to Riku as he turned the sword to swipe at the creature that seemed to be targeting him alone. Judging by the twisted form of it, he could guess who had sent it.

"I've always been more of a street-wise person myself." Riku replied as he moved towards the window.

It leaped backwards out of the way of both Noctis' sword and Riku's flames, causing it to turn and reassess the Witness.
An Otherborn. Suitable for the Master's needs. Offensive abilities. It switched targets, more carefully guarding its flank from Noctis as it brought its terrible claws to bear, attempting to pin Riku and bite him so that it could focus its efforts on Noctis.

He nodded and headed towards the window as well as the creature leaped out of the way. However, it seemed to take a new interest in Riku before making an attempt on the other man. "Watch out!" He warned before striking out at the...thing.

"I don't think so beastie!" Riku said as he used his darkness to project a hexagonal shield around him and Noctis. "We'd better get going I can't hold this forever! Also, you know anyone who can help?"

It slammed against the shield and was thrown back into Noctis' sword; whimpering in pain, it sounded more like a dog than a human being.
Reassess; enemy in strategic retreat. Time taken to reassess...
It backed away, giving them the opportunity to escape.
