The roar intensified when the team fights came on. The man infront of Francis jumped up and down screaming out for his favourite gladiator to win. Again the man knocked Francis leg which seriously annoyed him.
Francis nodded to the reply both Ludo and Saku gave him and then the man jumped up again. With little hesitation one of Francis knives dug into the back of the man's neck the blade sliced across opening a bigger gap into the mans throat.
The Inquisitor pulled back the body dropped and Francis stood up. "I be right back the man had a son." Francis left left the duo for a moment to track the lost son and finish what his father started.

Ludo watched as Francis walked past, his eyes went to the dead man, then darted back to a spot in the arena. He didn't watch the fight, but it looked as though he was.
Now, unfortunatly for Ludo, he was left with a psychopathic girl, more violent than Francis, and half as reasonable.

She sat, watching the bloodbath below, itching to join in with the fight. She looked over as Francis killed the man next to him, watching as the blood fed it's way down the stands to join whatever else had filtered down to the bottom along with the scum.
There was a shout from the nearest woman as she saw the man slump, but it was mistaken by the rest of the crowd as anger as one of the gladiators was killed, they thought she might have lost a bet. And she ran from the arena, the eyes of Saku watching her, couting the steps as she left her range of attack. Then her eyes set on the newly arrived Ludovais, fixing him with a cold stare.

Francis walked towards one of the food stores where a little boy sat waiting for his father. "Hey little boy, your dad said to come with me because he's just getting some money back."
The kid with no hesitation followed the Inquisitor to a corner away from anyone's eyes. "Where's daddy?" The little boy asked as he bit into his chocolate covered scorpion.
The Inquisitors eyes stared at the boy even when the knife slammed into the boys throat his eyes showed no pity the boy needed to die and so he had.
Francis tipped his hat down and walked back to the stands muttering a small pray for the boy.

Hooded features masked another figure's features as he tailed the Inquisitor, but hidden within the shadows was a predatory smile, pleased by the ruthless murder of the little child. The religious consequences posed no problems to his mind, and this is what seemed to set him apart from the silently praying Francis.
Breaking away from following Francis, he instead dropped into a seat a couple of rows back, and proceeded to flick a little droplet from a bottle he pulled from his robes, red teardrop glinting in the sunlight as it sailed, to splash upon Saku's features.
The predatory grin widened as it struck, and he waited, hoping she would be annoyed, and not notice the grisly nature of the liquid.

Francis walked towards the stands another cheer could be heard from within the colossal arena. The Inquisitor found his seat once again and sat down his eyes covered by the rim of the hat.
"When our fourth arrivs we will start our meeting until then, wait and be patient."
Francis closed his eyes waiting for someone to answer even if they didn't he wanted to rest his blood pressure was well over normal and his heart was running riot within his chest.

She sat quite still watching the fight in the arena below, and upon feeling a droplet of something hit her cheek, she looked about to see where it had come from. She could not see anyone nearby that would have thrown something at her, she could feel it wasn't raining, and therefore lifted her hand to her cheek.
On the tips of her ghostly white fingers, was a splash of crimson, thick and dark. She rubbed it between her fingers for a moment, as if contemplating it, but she knew what it was, it was blood. The red smudge on her cheek stood out harshly against her skin as she cast her eyes to look ab out and locate someone that might do such a thing.
Certainly it wouldn't have been Ludovais, or probably not francis, so her eyes moved further around the rows of seemingly normal people to locate the suspect. And she saw, some rows back, a man, hooded, covering his identity. Although she couldn't see who it was, he was familiar, and seemed to stick out in a crowd. Not many people came to the arena and covered their faces.
She arose from her seat, wondering about the figure, and made her way along the path in between the rows towards him. She stopped a few feet away and looked at him, her dark and mismatched eyes waiting for some reaction from the familiar shape.

Concealed eyes followed the figure of Saku, as malignant and vicious as the bared teeth of his smile. The droplet had been sufficient, obviously, to attract the woman's attention, and Erias stood slowly to face her.
Dropping the hood, he bowed deeply to Saku, the elaborate parody of the respectful greeting enough to crack his face into slightly maniacal chuckling. Straightening, he stopped the needless laugh, and smiled slightly worryingly at her.
A single finger raised, to point at her cheek, "You've got red on you......"
Again, he burst into almost tearful laughter, cracked up into ecstasy by his own humour. The alcohol that had got him through the delayed Zeppelin trip was reacting quite furiously with his psychosis, but he didn't care. And he knew at least Saku would understand the grisly mood it put him in.

The half-giant took to his feet slowly, watching as Saku approched another. It was Erias, his laugh took the back stands with it's insanity and cackling nature.
A disgusted frown wove over Ludo's face and he sat back down, looking at the ground.
"Erias is here." He said to Francis.

Francis nodded and stood up. "Thank you Ludovais." The Inquisitor tipped the rim of the hat towards the half giant and then walked towards Erias and Saku.
"It's about time Erias I was starting to think you wasn't going to turn up." The Inquisitor took a seat in the same row as Erias and then waited as the others sat down.
"Now we all know why we are here yes?"

She didn't smile, Erias should have been pleased about that. Those that knew her, jnew that when she smiled, they would end disembowled on the floor, and those that heard her laugh would find a yet more painful death.
"Been out having fun?" She was a little more talkative than usual, the arena opened her up a little to conversation. The blood told her that either it was old, or Erias had been up to his usual tricks. He seemed even more... psychotic than usual, not that she was one to judge.
Since everyone else was moving over here, she took a seat and waited, she needn't answer such a redundant question right now, let others do the talking.

Nodding at Ludovais, he smirked heavily at the disgust shown by the giant. "Why yes, my favourite ogre, I am here. You're here too, I see." There was no love lost between the giant and the psycho, for various and vicious reasons in their past.
The nod was repeated, to the approaching Francis, who was deemed worthy of more respect to Erias. "I take it we're not harbingers of peace?"
Turning to Saku, he winked at her lustily. "Why, in my own way, dearest. But I know that I could never have as much fun without you, my soulless darling." Another smirk, and he turned once more to the Inquisitor. "Sooo....why exactly are we here again, us prophecied four horsemen of dark times ahead?"
The sheer absurdity he was displaying was not totally typical of the normally cool, levelheaded Erias, but under the influence of alcohol and the powders he'd been plying himself with since his arrival in the City, his temperamental control over his psychosis was significantly reduced.

Gah. Ogre?
Ogres were hairy, brute-like and as dumb-witted as a pie. Quite the insult for Ludovais, being quite the shy and merciful half-giant.
Nothing he hadn't heard before, however.
Ludo stood up slowly, expecting the four to move from the Arena. People behind were getting agitated, but dared not say anything even if their view was obstructed by this monster of a man.

"Ok we need to go somewhere a little more private, maybe the council room." Francis raised his handkerchief to his mouth and wiped the corners of the lips. "We could go to a inn on the other hand." The Inquisitor stood up and waited for the other Saku and Erias to get up. "This place is a bit too open for our business."

She looked at him, her face seemingly expressionless and calm. Saying nothing, she granted him the closest gesture she had to being friendly, the eyecontact without the pure malice and want to kill. He was someone that felt the similar killing need to her, she could sympathise.
Her green eye contrasting against her sandy yellow eye in the light flashed as she stood up, catching the sun on her pale skin. She liked the arena but she would be pleased to get inside and feel the shade again.
"The inn would be better, the council rooms will be full." She said witha frown, she might work for some of the councils but she didn't necissarily like spending time there.
