Mad Scientist / Head of Intel Division

[Hoshido] [Tokohotsu Shrine] The renewed assault of magic and blade as Musashi abandoned any pretense of defense and went on a full offensive, combined with Celeste's and Tamamo's powerful magic finally began to take their toll. With Musashi's burning blade searing and charring flesh wherever it cut and the wind-infused sword cutting away large chunks of skin and hardened chitin-like cover, the magical assault from the two arcane energy users finally began to punch properly through the massive Onryoki's defenses, several of Celeste's magical orb attacks making it into open wounds and dealing terrifying internal damage to the monster. It roared, raising its hands to try and make another massive shockwave attack, but it began to swat about its head instead as the spirit-hornet that manifested a fraction of the spirit realm on the shrine grounds distracted the Onryoki. Several of the burning heads went to swoop in to aid the monster, but were summarily caught in the hail of spell-fire and dissipated without doing any harm at all, forcing the rest of them to keep their distance. Left with no other option, the Onryoki began to fight back against Musashi, its massive arms covered in incredible magic-resistant skin and still holding the remains of shackles that previously held it down were used to defend the demon's body from the incoming attacks, its hands working as quickly as a professional sumo wrestler's to try and minimize or deflect incoming blows. But Musashi was a swordsman, used two blades, infused the swords with elemental strength and attacked quite a bit quicker than the Onryoki. And finally, their combined assault began to wear it down. It roared in defiance, trying to keep the stinging spirit-hornet at bay while fighting off against Musashi, but even it could not keep up with the assault. And finally, Musashi was provided with a true opening when one of the creature's swatting motions carried it too far off balance as it tried to strike the buzzing shikigami, leaving its torso completely open... |

[Nohr] [Coach] “Dangerous? Well...” Rica would have shrugged if he had shoulders at the moment, but as he didn't he just gave a little shake of his head. “I suppose you could say that. It's... not really a big deal. Someone I learned about not long ago, and I need to find. Nothing to worry about.” Definitely true. For really, real. [Small Inn] Caitlin could only sigh – deeply – in response to her sister. She supposed that the conversation would have to go back to her ill-defined relationship with Graham, or else it would focus on all the dangerous things she had done since she left home. She honestly didn't know what was worse. “Sometimes.” Caitlin shrugged. “Not all the inns are as nice as this one, but some are a lot nicer. And sometimes we don't have the cash on hand for an inn... we've slept in barns, in guest houses, and outside way, WAY more times than I ever wanted to.” [Secret Tunnel] “Caverns? Wait... I remember that... augh...” The small boy cupped his face, shaking all over. The memory was clearly a painful one. “I was... playing by the caves, and... then that man...” Garnet frowned, reaching out and patting him on his shoulder. “It's okay. Come with us.” She stood up, turning to Didymus and taking him to the side for a moment. “I know this is far from ideal and I'm already asking so much of you and your allies, but... I fear whoever this boy is, his misfortune has something to do with my family... I cannot abandon him if so.” [Hoshido] [Tokohotsu Shrine] The massive beast, which looked so invincible, was bloodied and broken. Musashi was breathing heavy, sweat pouring from every inch of his body. He couldn't last too much longer, but he wasn't about to let up. The blasts of magical energy from Celeste and Tamamo were a dazzling display to behold, and if he could have sat back and watched he'd do so in awe. Celeste's orbs blasted with color and energy, and Tamamo shot fire and ice so easily it was frightening. He would have to remember to stay on the good side of them both. But that could wait. As the beast struggled to swat away its attacker, Musashi spotted and opening and knew he had to take it. He focused the power of the rings and dove forward, impaling both blades deep into the Onryoki's torso – and blasting out a burst of flame and wind, combining into a burning tornado exploding out from the swords – inside the beast! |

[Nohr] [Coach] Kanna eyed Rica, holding her tongue for a moment as he tried to assure the group that there was nothing to worry about. She didn't buy it at all. But, for the moment, she didn't want to cause a scene. She would discuss this with him- but in private. Luckily her apartment she was staring at was not far from the station and after a few minutes of riding along they were there. "Make yourselves at home" she said, leading her grandchildren into the spacious apartment. It was quite elegant, and obviously made for more than just one person- though Kanna typically liked her space. The older woman then turned to Rica. "A quick word?" That wasn't a question. [Small Inn] Rue continued to look down at Caitlin's wound, now almost totally gone, as Caitlin tried to explain she and Graham's relationship....Kinda. She wasn't really doing that great of a job with it though... "We've slept in barns, in guest houses, and outside way, WAY more times than I ever wanted to.” "You've slept all those places...Together?" She asked, now looking up. The idea of even sharing a normal room with a boy overnight was terrifying to her- though she supposed that Caitlin was more mature than she was. Maybe it was normal for girls to do such things. Instantly her face heated up again and her concentration wained a bit- luckily the wounds were now faded. She asked the next part rather quietly, obviously embarrassed. "D-Does that mean you...And him.....Share a bed?" THIS IS WHAT HAVING A SISTER IS LIKE GUYS. |

[Nohr] [Apartment] Once the coach came to a stop, Rica slithered his way out and reformed into a person. The mysterious mage was never one to hide his many magical tricks – despite the fact that the unusual magic he employed was often strange and unheard of. He kept a lot of secrets close to the vest. Once they were inside and Kanna demanded a private word, Rica merely shrugged and followed her out of the main room – and since it was Rica, he instinctively found Kanna's bedroom and decided that would be the best place to talk. Of course, for once he knew that with this news, Kanna might be more in a mood to stab him than for anything fun. “...Sure you don't want to have dinner first? Maybe entertain the grandkids? Or relive the good times?” Rica was stalling. [Small Inn] Caitlin hadn't even thought about how her statement could be taken – until she heard that stutter in her sister's voice that reminded her entirely too much of her mom – who she really didn't need to think about in the context of this conversation. She groaned loudly. “What? No! … I mean technically yes we've slept in the same bed before but, like, actually slept and not what you're thinking!” She shook her head. “It's... I don't even know what we are, honestly... I mean we've had some moments where I thought... but you know guys! They don't talk about stuff.” |

[Nohr] [Apartment] Kanna didn't look amused as Rica found her bedroom, but she followed him in none-the-less. She had a long enough history with the man to know what his intentions surely were but she was also sure he knew that she knew he was up to something. "Spill it." she ordered, cutting to the chase almost instantly "Who are you looking for? And why did it just so happen to lead you back here? And don't lie, I know when you do" [Small Inn] For some reason Rue wasn't sure Caitlin was telling her the entire truth- though she knew better than to question her sister's truthfullness on this topic. Instead she gave a small nod, sitting back against the pillows on the bed. Healing always took it out of her, but now she could relax without fear of being attacked- By bandits anyways. Sister attacks were still fair game it seemed. “It's... I don't even know what we are, honestly... I mean we've had some moments where I thought... but you know guys! They don't talk about stuff.” "Well you were never the type to beat around the bush. Why don't you flat out ask him? I mean....You do care for him right?" Rue asked, sitting up and thinking. "Aunt Chloe once told me you sometimes have to just take what you want and not hesitate- do it and then apologize later... Granted I don't think she was talking about possible boyfriends....So have you guys even kissed?" |

[Nohr] [Apartment] Rica sighed, shrugging his shoulders. This should be a fun conversation. He wondered how would be the best way to actually approach it... it would probably be best to go easy, slowly build to the unpleasant news- “... I'm looking for a woman.” That didn't sound good. Rica shook his head. “Well, no, not like that. This one is more of... a... kid.” That sounds worse, Rica realized. “Err... no, I mean... I have a kid. I think. Maybe. It's... complicated.” I guess that's better? But not really. [Small Inn] Caitlin really wanted to find a hiding spot. Or jump out the window. Or push Rue out the window! … but none of that would really help. “I have asked him, dummy! But... he's got some personal issues, and he won't talk about 'em, and he always just changes the subject... I don't know if I scare him, or he's got some secret wife or what's going on.” Caitlin frowned. She really didn't like talking about this, but... in some way it did feel a little better to talk about it. Though she specifically didn't answer all of Rue's questions. |

Nohr Didymus was quiet as Garnet beckoned him over, and spoke. He replied in a hushed voice. "I...understand. I will admit, I highly suspect he's a part of the defense network in these caverns, unwittingly or otherwise, like some manner of disguised alarm or means of tracking intruders. But...if what he says is true...well, lacking any proof of my suspicions, faith and duty demand we attempt to rescue him...still, stay near me, please, Lady Garnet. And on the opposite side of me that he is, if at all possible." He looked about, and with his blessed sight, noticed that the other barrels were...well, what he suspected they'd be, it seemed-quite unlike the barrel they'd opened. "It pains me to say it, but...much as I'd like to check these barrels, I don't think it's safe to do so." he said. "Something clearly sinister is in them, much as I'd like to check to make sure...Lord have mercy, we need to move on. Let us go." |

[Nohr] [Apartment] Any normal person would tell Rica to get the hell out of their house and maybe even call the police, but Kanna didn't...Instead she continued to sit on the bed watching him stutter through just who he was looking for. "You have a kid. Another kid." Kanna doubted he was talking about Melanie or Jason, so that meant he had obviously been playing closet tango with someone else. "Since when?" [Small Inn] Rue was quiet for a moment, thinking. She really wasn't a good person to give advice about these things but she also knew this was bothering Caitlin. Like any good doctor / sister she wanted to help. "He doesn't look like he's hiding any big secrets, and by the way he looks at you...Well it looks like he likes you back...Maybe I could talk to him?" NO. |

[Nohr] [Apartment] Rica rubbed the back of his neck. This wasn't a fun conversation, and even his usual 'charm' (or what he passed off as charm) wasn't going to help with this one. “Since a long time ago, apparently.” Rica shrugged his shoulders. “And I don't even know if it's true, Kanna. That's why I'm looking for her, to find out if it's true.” [Small Inn] “No!” Caitlin immediately spun around, narrowing her eyes and shaking her head rapidly. “Don't do anything! Don't talk to Graham, and don't talk to mom and dad! Just... just don't... do anything.” [Secret Tunnels] Garnet frowned, looking over to the small boy, and then back at the barrels. She wondered if they all had someone in them... but that seemed impossible. She paused, and she shivered. “... I can sense magic in the barrels. That boy... it doesn't feel too different from magic I've felt before, but those other barrels... it's... different. I don't know if I can explain, it just... it feels so cold.” |

[Nohr] [Apartment] "So...Was this before or after me?" Kanna asked, brow raised and standing up. She moved back in front of Rica, arms folded over her chest. "Just how many liasons were you having with other woman anyways?" There was no winning this by the way.... [Small Inn] "Okay okay I won't do anything!" Rue said quickly "But you should keep trying...I mean he seems to like you, and you seem to like him...." She then came upon a realization, eyes getting big as she quickly grabbed her sister's arm "Do you love him? He could be your person!" Despite her shyness Rue was a teenage girl, and kind of a sap. Not to mention living vicariously through her big sister was a lot of fun. "What if he's just acting weird because he doesn't know how to ask dad for your hand or something!? Maybe he's just nervous and doesn't want to get too ahead of himself- naturally if you've told him anything about dad!" |

[Nohr] [Apartment] Rica frowned, and then took off his glasses, revealing his gray and colorless eyes. He raised an eyebrow to Kanna. “Are you really going there, Kanna? Because the name Ethan is suddenly coming to mind.” Rica wasn't playing nice, crossing his arms and shaking his head. “... From what I can tell, it's from before. IF this kid is mine, she's older than Jason.” [Small Inn] “Gah!” Caitlin desperately wanted to hid her face behind her hands, but Rue was now clinging to her arm and staring at her with those enormous puppy eyes. Caitlin could only groan and try to push her back. “Are you on something? He's not trying to marry me! And we're not... I mean...” Caitlin frowned. “Rue I think you're building this up bigger than it is... we just kissed awkwardly a few times, and then that was that... it's not some big grand romance.” She paused. “... and no, I didn't say anything about mom and dad. That would be way too weird.” |

[Nohr] [Apartment] “Are you really going there, Kanna? Because the name Ethan is suddenly coming to mind.” "Touche" Kanna said deadpan, turning back from the man. "She then gave a small wave of the hand, she supposed she couldnt fault him when she was just as bad. "Fine. Why are you telling me this? Think I can help somehow? Because now I AM pretty curious of what kind of woman would be dumb enough to sleep with you-" Well, other than herself. [Small Inn] “Rue I think you're building this up bigger than it is... we just kissed awkwardly a few times, and then that was that... it's not some big grand romance.” "So you DID kiss him!" Rue exclaimed excitedly, dropping her sister's arm and falling back against the pillows once more. For a moment it felt more like a sleepover as kids instead of a moment safe from bandits and monsters. "Oh how romantic!" After a moment of relishing in the romanticness of it all Rue looked back to her sister, who was now red as a beet. She calmed down "I always wondered what you were doing out here on your own, who would have thought it would be adventures and romance- well kinda....It's like all those stories the sailors would tell when they'd come to dad for healings. It's pretty special" The girl then went quiet again, pressing her wet hair behind her ear. "Caitlin, you may not know if he's your person yet....But how did you know that you cared about him? I mean you must care about him a little right?" Edited by Crystal Rose, Oct 3 2017, 06:34 PM.

[Nohr] [Apartment] Rica groaned once again, shaking his head. “I didn't plan on telling you at all because I knew how you'd react. At least, I wasn't going to tell you until I found the girl and found out if she IS mine.” “You asked, and you called me on my half-truth. Much as I might want to, you know I can't lie to you.” [Small Inn] Caitlin groaned, watching her sister roll around on the pillow and pretend like this was all some romantic dream. She was a little surprised herself... Rue was the sappy one, she was the one who was supposed to go and find a guy. Caitlin hadn't planned it – but it had happened. “Rue I'm pretty sure most of those sailors weren't really in love...” Caitlin decided not to explain sailor's affinity for den's of ill repute to her sister. Things were awkward enough. When Rue brought it back around, Caitlin sighed and collapsed against the bed, letting her hair fall in her eyes and shield her somewhat. “I mean... of course I care about him. He's a good guy. We've been through a bunch of crazy stuff, and... you know, he's nice, and he goes along with whatever stuff I want to do and almost never complains... and I mean I guess he's sorta handsome...” She could feel her face reddening. “Augh, come on Rue, don't make me get into this stuff...” |

Nohr Didymus was quiet for a moment when Garnet spoke, before finally replying. "...I'll spare you my take on magic, but there are some things that are more...blatantly, perhaps directly and imminently, malicious than others...and the things in that barrel, from what I am being shown, fall into that category. So again, we must make haste, we've dawdled too long and are taking enough risks as it is with our new companion..." he said, and began to gesture towards the passageway to the next room. |

-Nohr- Mountain Tunnel “There are many dark and terrible things in this world,” Zadkiel said, nodding towards Didymus, “And it is as you said, we need to continue onwards.” Aiden smiled towards Vivi, moving up to him with Garnet. “You can definitely come with us. My name's Aiden,” Aiden said, smiling still. Kanna's Place Blake remained quiet as he entered Kanna's apartment, still holding Samara's hand as he did so, looking around. His parents had a decent place, though his father had always preferred more modest settings. Sage meanwhile was staying close to Joyce, frowning slightly as he looked around. “So your grandmother didn't mention anything about why she wanted to see you?” Sage asked Joyce quietly. Small Inn Liam got himself cleaned up, propping his sword by his bed before he did so, returning and stretching slightly, glancing towards Graham. “How long have you and Caitlyn been traveling?” Liam asked. “I suppose I should get to know you if you're suppose to be my friend when we meet her and Rue's parents...” Liam frowned slightly, he wasn't very happy with deception like this. -Ylisse- Capitol Approaching the castle, bearing two spears on his back, a young man was moving with purpose, though a slight limp betrayed an injury he had received and hadn't allowed to fully heal yet...
