Cipher: *pulls off a hood that was impossible to make out before. His face, the actual /outline/ of his head becomes clear. He's got eyes that could only really be described as "gold" and straight white hair he's got tamed in a short pony tail.* Relax, Yugi. We're the good guys. We're not after the Pharaoh, the Shadows, or the Millennium Items. We're just well informed. *offers his hand* You can actually call me Zuriel. Will you let Shadow here see to your wounds?

Yugi: *wants to trust, looking back and forth among them, one hand /locked/ on the chain of the Puzzle* ……..so far, everyone I’ve met who’s been well-informed is because they /are/ after the Pharaoh, the Shadows, or the Millennium Items. *aka why /else/ would they care know so much?* I’m sorry if I’m rude, but if you know so much, then I’m sure you understand.

Zuriel: I very much understand. We know because we were approached some months back by a party wanting us to retrieve the Millennium Items. After doing our research, we determined that the hiring party did not have the claim to the Items they suggested, and even if they had, trying to take them from you and the other bearers was suicidal under the best of circumstances.

Yugi: *small, rueful grin* I’m afraid that’d be true, yes. Especially the Millennium Ring. *studies them* So . . . you’re mercenaries, then?

Zuriel: *nods* In some respects. We're particular about our jobs. We're not out to rob or hurt anyone just to make money.

Runner: We get back what's been stolen, basically. *and assassinate people, but they don't need to go into that...right?*

Zuriel: *feels it's best to be completely honest with someone who can wield the Shadows...* We also take jobs to bring down certain...powers. Like this group that took you. What they're doing threatens the world, we'll not stand by and let it happen.

*Yugi starts to reply, nodding, but then Yami nudges at him. He agrees and the two switch places.*

Yami: *looks up at Zuriel* Understood. Are there any left of this group? *gestures back the way they came*

Zuriel: *meets Yami’s gaze...* Hello, Pharaoh. *he’s really good at reading people, no Yugi doesn’t /look/ different, but there are shifts in the way he carries himself that tell Zuriel all he needs to know.*  And yes, there are more to deal with before this group is taken down.  ...Do you intend to take a stand with us?

Zeran: *suddenly /gaping/ at Yugi/Yami...and frowning/squinting a bit...that’s...weird...*

Yami: *faintly surprised at the recognition but manages to hide it, dark purple eyes glittering dangerously as he glares back the way they came, hands in fists – if Zeran or the others can sense it, they might be aware of the faint Shadows curling about his frame* I do. Those people have trespassed on our souls, and on countless others. They /must/ be stopped. *to Zuriel and the others* Tell me what you know of them.

[socrowdedinhere]

*The other three, even though they're still just blurru figures, clearly look to Zuriel for this. He's clearly the leader.*
Zuriel: *arms crossed as he studies Yami, weighing him...he finally nods.* All right. But on one condition. This is /my/ team, they put their lives into my hands when we plan these jobs and I do my job by making sure they make it out and make it out unscathed. If you're going in with us, you'll follow my lead, and do things my way. I /will/ take advantage of any and all skills you posses to get this done so that we all get out alive. If that is agreeable then I'll tell you the plan.

[dragondancer5150]

Yami: *small smirk* If you're willing to take advantage of any and /all/ skills of mine, then if I tell you, you /will/ leave whatever area we're in, letting me deal with anyone left behind my way . . . unless you're willing to have your hearts judged in a Shadow Game. *and by his tone, no, you REALLY don't want to do that* Otherwise, yes, I agree.

[socrowdedinhere]

Zuriel: *nods* Then lets starts with what you can do. *he'll start asking pointed questions as Shadow Games. How they works, how large and area they effect, how many people? But once done with that he wants to see what Yami can do physically, but first....* Let Shadow see to your wounds, get some food and rest. We won't be moving again tonight.
Zeran: I can help... *with the wounds anyway...*

[dragondancer5150]

Yami: *since Zuriel and the others /aren't/ after his power but are only tryinv to plan the best they can, Yami's cooperative and tells them everything they want to know, as much as he can...havjng to apologize that there are a few things he plain /doesn't/ know - Zeran's comment, he nods, telling the others* Zeran has the power to heal.

[socrowdedinhere]

Zeran: *eyes Yami, still so strange to see double features. He holds out his hand.*
*And since Yami is going to be part of the team the others have stripped off their hoods, Shadow's even gotten out of the jumpsuite so his whole body is in focus now.*

[dragondancer5150]

Yami: *takes Zeran's hand without hesitation...though he does kind of brace himself*

[socrowdedinhere]

Zeran: *there's...really no sensation aside from Yami's pain easing. Just a bright flash. He still isn't able to completely heal Yami though.*
Shadow: *gentle hand on his shoulder.* Let me see to the rest.

[dragondancer5150]

Yami: *thanks him all the same, what he's done so far is of great help...and yes, he'll let Shadow see to him*

[socrowdedinhere]

Shadow: *will get Yami lying down somewhere and will start seeing to his wounds. He's quick and gentle in his work, but also does a good job.* I suggest you get some rest now. We'll go over more things in the morning. There are some beds back here. *will offer Yami a hand up and will show him the way.*
