Clarence sighed and felt for her knives, "I am not going to question that."
Arya pulled a sword out from under her cloak

Kado was watching the others on the island silently, crouched and hoping to stay out of view. Obviously not possible on a virtually bare slab of brick but it never hurt to try. He peered into the water at the dark shapes and drew his sword allowing a jolt of electricity to light it up into a crackling blue.
"Perhaps you should avoid throwing useful items into water of unknown depth. Just a suggestion."

Clarence snorted, "Some people need to grow a brain." she eyed the newcomer(? Was he there the whole time?), "Nice sword, by the way."
Arya greeted him politely, well, as politely as possible, considering she's holding a very large sword.

"I doubt a pan would be all that useful against a demon," he said with a shrug. "Besides, seems like you people have it under check."

"A what?" Clarence did not look that surprised, despite her tone, "What can you do with a pan anyway?"

"I don't know about you but I've seen a lot of things done with a pan. A lot of them really shouldn't be retold, though." Kado gave them a hollow grin.

"It was a cast iron skillet, specifically," he explained. "A standard 12 inch cast iron skillet weighs over eight pounds. Ever been hit with an eight pound weight before?"

"Yes." Clarence deadpanned.
Arya glanced quickly at her

"Well, then you understand how it could be somewhat useful," he said. "In my hands, however, it becomes significantly less useful."

"And why would that be, if you don't mind answering?" Arya said.

"'Cause I am a dreadful fighter. Don't think I've ever won one in my life," he responded. "There's a reason why people call me Runner."

Clarence snorted, "Running is a useful skill, you know." she shook her head, "Never won a fight…I know someone who might be able to fix that, with his sheer dumb luck."

"Hey…do you think they'd even come up here if they're in the water? I don't know about you guys but where I'm from not even mermaids come out of the water."

Arya shrugged, "I don't know but we should be prepared in case they do."
Clarence stared intently at the rippling surface of the water, "I would not be surprised if they can. I have no idea where we are or where those things come from."

"No, the mermaids are purely water-locked," Runner said, "However, the demons and the siren can most definitely leave the water."

"I wonder if I could just electrify the water," Kado said, the lightning rippling up and down his sword becoming brighter.

"No." Arya said, "Please. We do not know if the material this platform is made out can conduct electricity."
Clarence shivered, "Being electrocuted is not fun"

"Eh it's true that it's not fun but I've learned to tolerate it." Rain says as she walks over. "How are you all fin evening?"

Clarence raised an eyebrow, "In my knowledge, this is neither "fine" nor an evening."

"It is called sarcasm my friend. I see that you are not fluent in it." I grin at him.

Arya grimaced, "How about you save that for later, and kill the fish demons now."

Soldatov strolls over. His pace is almost professional with the way he walks; like he’s someone of high command. Very alert, too. It’s hard to confirm whether or not he was there in the first place.

“Demons? Oh, I’ve dealt with them.” He calls out. His voice has an accent to it, not a strong one but still there. It sounds distinctly Eastern European.

Arya studies him carefully, "I'm glad someone else also have fighting experience"

The water is rippling below them, puddles of the dark liquid landing on the platform

"Anytime now." Clarence checked her knives
