The transportation was like nothing he'd ever felt before.  It ripped at his mind and body and dropped him exhausted back into a modern city.  He caught a glimpse of bodies strewn limply about, as though after a battle, then darkness.  His form collapsed to the ground.<br/><br/>--Amateur.  His will is like a wretched blade of grass.  At least we Sins are superior.--<br/>***<br/>--Right?--<br/>***<br/>--Pathetic, all of you.  Wake up!--<br/>***<br/>--Well I'll be.  The captain asleep at the wheel and all the rest of the crew not even able to take advantage of it.  Luckily for them, I am a superior character.--<br/><br/>The limp body shivered and changed.  His limbs straightened and became more lithe.  The curse tattoos vanished into flawless skin.  Pride stood, a blond-haired, blue-eyed vision of perfection as he saw it.  "Right.  What's going on here, then?"  He looked around at the city and its inhabitants.  "The others should be right behind me...  I'd best see what happens to them.  If this is some kind of ward against us, they won't be affected."<br/><br/>Shayan appeared and apparently shook off the spell, but then their 'leader' emerged and crumbled.  Pride smiled at her.  "Congratulations.  It looks like it'll be good to work with you."  He walked over and extended a smooth, pale hand.  "My name is Pride.  It's a pleasure to meet you in the flesh."<br/><br/><em>OOC: I feel obligated to point out that Pride's build is vaguely similar to Jude's but other than that-- face, eyes, hair, everything is different.  Up to you how you react or if you 'instinctively sense' anything.</em>
