[Malvin Estate]

Alice looked annoyed.

“... I am not going to Mustang's office. For one thing, he won't be in at this hour – and for another... look, I don't enjoy talking to that man when I can avoid it. I have to deal with him enough...”

She shook her head. “What exactly is it you need from your residence that's so important?”

[Apartment Building]

“Yeah, I suppose we shouldn't just drag a kid to a trainyard at night...” He shrugged. “Oh well! At least the three of us should go!”

[Military HQ – Downtown Hydron]

The primary headquarters of the military, located in the heart of Hydron's downtown, was currently the meeting place for some of the most powerful men in Hydron's police/military force.

“... Gentlemen. We have served as a police force for many years... but we ARE the military of this city. It's time we stop bending to the whim of civilian leaders. I think it's time we... shuffle the power.”

The Major adjusted his glasses as he gave his proposal to his colleagues.

Outside the door, a young man in a leather jacket was peeking in, eavesdropping.

Malvin Estate

Didymus paused.

"...so you outright lied to your...you know, as much as I disapprove, I may leave you to it as your affair if it didn't have the chance of backfiring on me. Again, I can, perhaps, leave you to this, though I feel somewhat, perhaps, as though I took part by not speaking up...but as for my residence...what I need? Well, for one, I want to grab some food-I'd rather not go person-hunting on an empty stomach, and two...well...it's more what YOU need than what I need perhaps, especially if we aren't going to stop by the military post...I just wish to edit my loadout..."

He chuckled a bit nervously.

Alice paused, and looked to Didymus.

“Now listen to me and listen GOOD. I don't care what threats my sister level at you, they're civilians and they can't do a thing to you. I'm the one whose actually in the military, and I'm the one set to inherit the Malvin household, so maybe you should spend less time trying to kiss up to them, and a little more time trying to support your fellow soldier!”

She crossed her arms. “As it is, I said we'd get burgers on the way, but if you'd rather stop, fine, but don't take long...”

Didymus paused, looking a mixture of things, offended, humbled, and contemplative.

"No one said anything about kissing up to anyone...but legally...I'm not sure how it does work. And civilian or no, I generally tend to frown on lying. With that said...well, the two of us could talk long about how aristocratic power flows, though I imagine you're more knowledgable on it I've had a taste of it myself...I..."

He paused.

"...and you're right; you are heiress appearant. I apologize, Malvin, I don't want to be opposed like this...so I'll wrap my points up: again, I'm not fond of lying, and I think that I may not be entirely beyond the reach of...individuals displeased with my performance, most specifically relating to you. There. I've said my piece. Now let's do what we have to tonight."

“As it is, I said we'd get burgers on the way, but if you'd rather stop, fine, but don't take long...”

"Burgers on the way sounds good, but if we aren't going by the military post, I'm afraid I must insist that we do stop by my residence...tell me, Malvin, which type of firearm suits you best?"

-Dusty Workshop

Jason looked at Galv expression....And he automatically knew he was experiencing a BSoD moment....Trust me, Jason had been at that point all too often himself...He groaned.

"Well unfortunately we don't really have any dresses lying around here, so unless you want to go back home you're stuck in them....And while you're stuck in them you're stuck with me!" He told them.

Melanie frowned, crossing her arms over her chest. "Jason, that's not fair! Can't we just explore a little?"

"No! Anyways, all that's out in the slums is taverns anyways-"

"Oh! A tavern sounds fun!" Melanie exclaimed, grabbing Galv's arm (she was totally unaware that Galv's brain was in his stomach) "Want to go there?"

"WHAT?!" Jason exclaimed "You can't even drink!"



R&V Industries

Kanna totally got everything that Rica had said to her, the woman grinning and looking up to him "That sounds....Very...Enticing-"


“It would be quite a marvelous feat...”


Kanna blinked, looking over to her other side where Ethan now stood, looking as if he had been there the whole time....Wow, he was very fast. And sneaky.

"Your idea sounds lovely boys, and if you'd allow it i'd love to be a part of it"

Apartment Building

Colette eyes widened in delight at Sama's idea...Until Jimi mentioned that she shouldn't come...What!? It wasn't that late!

"Jimi! I want to come toooooo!" Colette exclaimed, suppressing a large yawn which snuck through. From her spot Crystal couldn't help but to giggle. "Please? I'll be really good!"

Colette hated to miss the big kid stuff!

[Malvin Estate]

Alice paused for a moment and let out a small sigh. She was still a bit annoyed, but she realized she might have jumped the gun a bit.

“You don't know what it's like dealing with my sisters day in and day out... they frown on what I want to do with my life. They'd have me sitting around as some posh housewife, safely tucked away inside a mansion, ignoring the plight of our people in the slums, or the dangers from beyond the walls...”

She shook her head. “I'll do what I must do. If I must lie to them to do it, so be it.”

She paused. “This is my type of firearm.” She patted the holster on her belt. “But fine, lead the way.”

[R&V Industries]

Rica nodded, bowing his head to Kanna a bit and flashing a sly grin.

“Of course! I would be honored to have you a part of it.”

[Apartment Building]

Sama was a sucker for kids, and if it were up to him, he'd have let Colette come along. But he was smart enough to know he should keep quiet and let her brothers be the ones to decide that.

“You don't know what it's like dealing with my sisters day in and day out... they frown on what I want to do with my life. They'd have me sitting around as some posh housewife, safely tucked away inside a mansion, ignoring the plight of our people in the slums, or the dangers from beyond the walls...I'll do what I must do. If I must lie to them to do it, so be it.”


Didymus stood silent for a moment, before finally speaking again.

"...I see, I think. I'm not sure entirely if I agree, but you're right, I don't know what it's like to have to deal with your sisters day in and day out; though..."

He looked around.

"...I admit that while the dark-haired one seems reasonable, at least somewhat, the blond one does strike me as rather difficult to deal with, indeed...and yes, you make a good point. I am the kind of person who thinks that we should at least try to be honest, even when being faced with opposition to our stated intent, but...well..."

He paused, again making sure, as they walked, that they were out of earshot of the guards.

"An aristocrat who actually expresses an interest, a deep, driving interest in the welfare of the people instead of scheming against the other families and...other such activities...is a most intriguing prospect to me. If you don't mind my saying so, Malvin, perhaps you and I should have a chat or two about political matters sometime, at the shooting range, as you implied earlier, if you insist..."

“This is my type of firearm. But fine, lead the way.”

"Ah, so you've got one already? Good, good...but regardless, come along."

Eventually, they came to Didymus' residence. It was, as stated earlier, a modest building-but not uncomfortable.

"Come in, come in, if you like, this should only take a moment...if you have an inkling for ANY type of firearm besides what you have, let me know..."

He entered the place, and it was, again, a moderately-furnished building, actually comfortable-he was from an upper-middle-class background, and officer's pay was notable, so it was a far cry from the filth certain aristocrats (coughKNIFEcough) suspected "commoners" of living in. Of course, some would debate that those as well off even as Didymus were not truly "commoners", but that was perhaps another matter entirely.

"Do you want anything to eat, Malvin? I figure if we're here, I'll just grab something tie me over and save time on the burger stop...also...I need to edit my loadout..."

In the small room serving as a sort of "common" room, he placed some food on a table, then disappeared into a back room, leaving Alice to look around if she pleased.

-Dusty Workshop-

Galv paused, then shook his head suddenly, returning to the world of the living.

“Errr...my house isn't that far from here...” Galv mentioned, “If you need to change into something...Might be something...my mom's old stuff is still there, or something of mine, maybe...”

“I would like to spend some more time on the town...” Maize said to Jason, “And I am old enough to drink...”

-Apartment Building-

“Colette, you need sleep, you're too young,” Jimi said, “Besides, Hammah will be staying with you too.”

“But, I'm 16!” Hammah protested.

“Exactly! You're still a teenager. You need to babysit Colette.”

Hammah frowned, but sighed, nodding. “Alright...”

-R&V Industries-

“I look forward to spending more...quality time, with you,” Ethan told Kanna, “Planning will be quite...fun...”

Shimera's Mansion

"I'd love to go back to town!" Shimera exclaimed.

She then paused. "But I don't know all that's in town. I'm only allowed out when my parents are with me."

Dusty Workshop

Jason was conflicted....He really didn't mind the idea of getting a drink...But he didn't want to leave Melanie either.

....Perhaps if the two kids were just heading to Galv's house...Or his ROOM!?! NO! Nononononono he was NOT going to let his darling proper untarnished baby sister anywhere near a guy like Gal-

Suddenly Jason caught himself. Guy like Galv? The boy may have been poor but he was a good kid. He wouldn't do anything. Before he could change his mind Jason regarded the two children.

"Fine, you two go back to Galv's to get Melanie a change of clothes...After that come RIGHT back here. No side trips. Maize and I will be back before you get here."

Melanie looked absolutely excited "Really?!"

"Don't make me regret this"


Apartment Building

Collete frowned deeply, sticking her tongue out at Jimi and clutching Hammah tightly.

"You're so mean" she said

Crystal couldn't help but to come over to the girl, leaning down and looking at Colette. She was super adorable after all. "Don't worry, we'll make sure we can do something fun in the morning"


R&V Industries

"We'll start tomorrow" Kanna said with a little smirk at both men. I'll come by once my children are doing their studies...I'll come dressed for the occasions as well."

She would let their imaginations roam for the time.

[Didmus' Residence]

Alice sighed and waited as he disappeared from the room, leaning against the wall. Her mind was still full of thoughts about earlier, and the hunt for the person who had helped them before.

[R&V Industries]

Rica grinned a bit, and gave a bow to Kanna.

“I look forward to it. Have a pleasant night.”

As soon as she had left, Rica turned to Ethan.

“Well... I say we go get forks and stab each other to see who gets her.”

[Trainyard]

Soon enough, Sama, Crystal and Jimi had hurried away from the apartment building and down the practically empty streets. Soon, they were at the edge of a massive wrought iron gate – which Sama happened to have a key for.

On the other side was a massive train yard, where many of the great steam engines lay dormant.

“And here we are!” Sama grinned. “This is one of my favorite places...”

Didymus' residence

In a few moments, Didymus emerged from the back room. He carried the rifle he had earlier, as well as a shotgun now slung over his shoulders, and a pistol at his side. He was also munching on some sort of sandwich. (As opposed to sandVICH). He even had a belt of grenades.

He placed some cartridges on the table, as well as an extra rifle.

"I don't know what calibur your pistol is, Malvin, but I'm guessing it's one of these. I also suggest you take this rifle. And this ammo for it. And these grenades. Some are frag, some are smoke."

He placed another belt on the table.

"If we're going into the slums with psychos on the loose, with the heiress to one of the most powerful families in Hydron here, I think we should be prepared. You want any food?"

He said nothing as to why he had all this stashed away at his residence.

"Once you suit up, I suggest we go. Of course, I suppose I can't MAKE you take anything...but I suggest you do. Once you're ready, let's move out."

“Well then...where have you always wanted to go?” Cess asked, thinking, “And I'll get you there...”

-Dusty Workshop-

Galv smiled, taking Melanie's hand and leading her off.

“Let's go!” he smiled.

Once they were gone, Maize turned to Jason.

“So, are we going somewhere first, or are we just going to kill time until they return...?”

-R&V Industries-

“As long as I get to stab first...” Ethan said, frowning.

He sighed, turning to Rica.

“I haven't felt anything like this since my wife died,” Ethan scowled, “Don't make me fight you for this...”

-Trainyard-

“Ohhhh, cool...” Jimi said, looking around, “So...what do we do? Play Hide and Seek?”

Jimi paused, then sighed, “...I need more friends my age...”

-Apartment Building-

“Don't worry Colette,” Hammah said, “You and I can do something!”

He paused, thinking, “Errr...what do you want to do?”

[Didymus' Residence]

Alice's eye was twitching as Didymus returned and proceeded to launch into a speech as he showed off his artillery.

“... Just what the hell is wrong with you!?” Alice shouted, in what was probably not Didymus expected reaction. “We're going to look for someone, not to wage a war! This is a investigation! Police business, not military!”

Alice shook her head. “Look, if you want to walk around with enough firepower to light up the night sky, go ahead – but I'm fine with my simple pistol and my knife.”

She did admire his dedication to his duty, though this was a bit too far.

[R&V Industries]

Rica chuckled a bit, and leaned against the wall, his arms crossed.

“... and I haven't felt anything like this since... ever. You've been in love, you've had a wife... I haven't. Sure, I get floozies easy, but I've always wanted something real... something beyond just the physical aspect... in that woman, I see someone with a intellect and scary charm that rivals my own.”

[Trainyard]

Sama chuckled and shook his head.

“Yeah, hide and seek might be fun... but I was thinking maybe we could just hang out, and talk. Maybe take apart some of these old steam engines and see what makes them tick.”

Sama's kind of a nerd.

“Look, if you want to walk around with enough firepower to light up the night sky, go ahead – but I'm fine with my simple pistol and my knife.”


Didymus had flinched when Alice yelled at him, but had regained himself quickly enough.

"Suit yourself, my suggestion's known. It's just...Malvin, you were almost killed last time we were there, and even I got jabbed with that weird crud. We don't know WHAT'S there, and from what I've heard, it could well be a war zone of sorts. I'm pretty sure that there are PLENTY of people in the slums who would love to get their hands on the heiress apparent to House Malvin...but again, I won't force any weapons on you. I'm ready if you are."

He stood at the doorway, ready to lock up and follow Alice back to the slums.
