[Note to those reading: Zara and I did the mechanics for this one in AIM to speed things up.  Dice are rolling and numbers clashing in the background, never fear.]<br/><br/>Most of the orcs rushed Moka.  The last one charged at Greed, though, swinging a pair of massive clubs.<br/><br/>Greed's hands rose up together in front of him as if he was praying, then flicked outwards, knocking the clubs aside with an effortless circular motion that hit the creature's wrists.  As the off-balance orc tumbled forwards, his eyes flashed green.<em>"Mine until time dies!"</em>[activated "Claim of Greed" targeting himself alone].  His hands lashed out to grip the creature's throat.  The enemy shuddered at his touch.  Blood burst out of its ears as its clubs fell from nerveless fingers.  The attack seemed to invigorate Greed rather than draining him.  --Showoff--  He darted over to Moka, placing himself closer to her than the attacking orcs [activate "Claim of Greed" in an area surrounding Moka in such a way that all of the orcs are outside it.]  "Naughty girl.  You shouldn't been taking point in such injured condition.  I'll handle this."  His body was like a blur as he turned and stood, slipping inside the nearest ogre's guard (Ogre #2).  Without bothering with finesse, he struck at its nearest exposed flesh, claiming all of the life inside its body in an instant.  It crumbled, a glassy look in its eyes.  Greed was positively panting with excitement now.  He resembled Jude less and less as he turned and faced the other Ogre who'd attack Moka (Ogre #1).  "Shouldn't touch my things, worthless one."    He seemed to caress the ogre's cheek for an instant, and the opposite side of its head exploded.<br/>--Okay, I'm impressed.--<br/>--You're guarding that bitch?  Her head is mine!--<br/>--Let him concentrate.  If I'm any judge of character, she's about to sock him a good one for calling her his 'possession.'  Did you see that first punch?--
