Characters: Elizabeth and what ever poor fools come with her [open]
When/Where: Between Aqures Ixen and the Chocobo Farm
Summary: Elizabeth has her persona compendium and wants to start cataloging the local shadows (monsters), that and she's running out of money and really only knows how to get it from beating it out of shadows.
Warnings: Liz is an idiot.

Elizabeth was bored. It isn't that she didn't appreciate the foreign world in peril, the need to rescue a queen, or the chance to pound on monsters, not at all. It was more the fact that it didn't exactly seem like anyone was doing that. They were more wrapped up in the winter festivals and she wanted enough funds to buy a wish from a fountain. Her new Moogle "friend" suggested getting a job, and thumping shadows was quite practical back home so off she went.

Leaving a note on the door of her house that read simply, "Subjugating shadows, will be back when I have slaughtered enough to appease the fountain spirits. If anyone wishes to join me Theodore will be able to find me." she headed off an hour before sunset.

Now as the sun was setting she head out of the town, looking to find some way of amusing herself.

"Indeed."

Elizabeth was new to the vampire thing, but she has had some experience with the Batman method of conversation ending. She quickly and quietly blends with the shadows and starts for the monsters.

Allenby doesn't have much of the same ability, but she easily moves without a sound, running off in an arch to make sure she's not easily seen.

And at once, Allenby quickly rush in, taking one of the monsters by surprise from behind and, well... it's easier to watch than describe. But that just as quickly put her the center of attention as the creature goes sliding along the ground with a broken neck.

A moment later, one of them has a blade protruding from their gut as another is whacked in the face by a large book seconds later, while Elizabeth laughs at all this.

"Yes... Early shadows... It has been quite some time!"

From there Allenby stood her ground and slugged it out with anything that got too close to her. And anything that got hit by her fists, at this point, was sent flying, bones broken and bodies rolling about. It wasn't that she was all for the violence, she just hit That. Damn. Hard!

Liz whirled with her book, brandishing it like a pro as she moved behind one monster she clobbered and sunk her teeth into its neck, stopping after a cracking sound with a curious look.

"Hrm... Yes, perhaps that does work for the job... Still." She dropped the body and swung at another, "I find my name works just as well."

"Your name? What do you mean? I don't think "Elizabeth" is a very harmful name. At least not the name itself." she says as another one catches a nice boot to the face.

She jumps up and begins kicking rather rapidly, hitting several monsters all at once with a blinding flurry of kicks you'd see in like... Jojo's!

"Oh, no not my name."

She draws her sword out of the one body as she is hit in the gut then proceeds to stab the monster that whacked her.

"The name of my job. It is too generic. At least I'm hoping that is where the blood impulses are coming from."

"Oh... vampire? Probably yeah." she responds as she strikes the last one down with her heel to the back of it's head.

"So... Just how many do you need to whack away at before you get enough information?" she asks, "You don't seem to really be doing any studying of them as much as you are enjoying beating them up."

"Honestly, I am not sure. I do not believe my Blue Mage job is going to get anything from this particular group."

She brains another with her book and shrugs, "It was my moogle that suggested I study the monsters to understand how it worked and slaughtering them indiscriminately was the best way to study them back home."

"Huh... you know I get the feeling that you're going about it the wrong way. Sure, beating them up is good for training but... studying them. I think you'd want to watch how they fight, rather than, well... this."

Allenby simply presents the decimation the duo laid upon the poor creatures. "HOw about the next group we find, we just leave one and see how it acts. You know, actually study how it fights. That's how martial artists do it. They watch, and study their movements."

"Hrm, that may be an idea too for I do not FEEL any more enlightened. Perhaps it is in the ways they interact. Still, at least we have coin for a few meals now."

She shrugs and goes about Greyhawking the monsters that were just pounded stupid.
