Yukari

Yukari's fluffy ears perked up as she was beset by an intense gaze, it was a bit uncomfortable even but she held her ground nonetheless. "That will be quite acceptable." She waited for the guards to leave before appraching the throne upon which Ivanna sat. "So where do you wish to go your highness?"

[SINIB]

Ivanna

Ivanna stood up and made for the door, flanked on either side by her imperial guards, who seemed utterly unhindered by the frigid temperatures. She led Yukari down an opulant and majestic hallway into an equally majestic room. There were priceless tapestries adorning the wall, woven with threads of precious metals, while an attendant brought in two cups of an idescribably ornate design. Each one must have cost a staggering amount. Both cups were filled with steaming hot black tea of the highest quality.

"Yukari, can you tell me your skills in detail, to start with?" Her eyes sparkled as if she was on a hunt, attempting to ensnare a choice piece of prey.

Yukari

Yukari followed the shorter at a respectful distance through the majestic halls of the palace, despite the sheer degree of luxury the room they came to possesed, she found herself far from awed by it. She had seen similiar places for decades, all it spoke to her about was the owner's intent to either impress or overwhelm her guests with the sheer magnificence on display.

She sat down at accepted the tea that was offered graciously, instead of grabbing the cup with a hand as one would usually expect, the kitsune instead held it with one of her tails. "This tea is quite delicious..." After lowering the tea cup her eyes went up to look at Ivanna. or rather down considering her height. "I'm sorry but that would take all day and the spirits here are quite restless, there's a whole lot of resentment carried towards this place from people who recently died here... The whole place is spiritiually unstable and that can have nasy consequences down the line..."

Lily

"Ahahaha-" The two instruments played along together in perfect harmony, not knowing that their time together was about to end, that one of them was about to break

Her laughter cut off as she suddenly changed the trajectory of her stomping foot, avoiding his tail as it came crashing down on the poor shark's throat. Disgusting, disgusting disgusting disgusting, how dare he try to touch her?

Willy

*crack*

*crunch*

*snap*

The killer whale was absolutely brutalized by her stomping foot, crushed over and over. What was left couldn't be called human, even comparing it to some splattered cartoon character would be too much. Bones were snapped, his neck was twisted gruesomely, and you couldn't even recognize his face anymore due to the blood. It was absolutely grotesque, the sort of scene that would turn anyone's stomach.

"Hah...haha! Ha...haah..ha..aah.."

Lily

With a quick tug, her sword came free from his blood drenched mouth and the girl with cimson hair did a complete backflip onto her hands and then back to her feet, puttting quite some distance between them in a single maneuver. Lily seemingly relaxed, her posture was unguarded like an amateur who completely underestimated her opponent, that is what she looked like. She idly examined her sword to see if anything had happened to it, until she finally shrugged and adressed the downed sharkman.

"Oi.... Get up Sharkboy, we're not finished. You wanted something... So speak now before my patience grows thin!"

[Panda]

Charlotte

Hm, leaving already? Either she was outright capricious, or she gave up on things too easily, and judging by the annoyance, it was probably the latter. Still it had been the gunslinger's idea to bring them along.

"Hold on a minute," the gunslinger said, fishing in her pocket for some chips and handing Sakura three lavender chips, 500 each, "Here. The casino was my idea anyway, and I can make it back later."

With that, Charlotte turned around and headed straight for the poker tables.

A disturbing Orca

Surely, to have done such a thing, and expecting a response nonetheless, that girl had to be insane. Absurd. Unnatural. Abnormal! But even despite all that, something even more unsettling occurred. The killer whale got back up, moving his torso forward until he stood upright as if he was a puppet on strings.

"What a funny little girl." As his head bobbed forward, he twisted it back so his face was no longer pointing on his back. Blood splashed off his face and drenched the floor along with a terrible crack.

But despite all that, there was no malice or hostility. He just rubbed his hair in confusion, as friendly as ever.

"Just go. Getting money off you is no fun, and I have a floor to clean."

Sakura and Shirou

Since their arrival in the Nexus a few months earlier, Sakura and Shirou had spent much of their time chasing after criminals or just trying to help make the city a better place, and most of the rest had been spent gradually settling down, finding a place to live and working out what they needed to do to survive and how they might be able to help make things better here.

Today, though, they decided to take advantage of the warm day and take a little time out to relax. So, they had gone for a pleasant stroll through a nearby park, enjoying each other's company.

As they continued on their path through the park, however, they suddenly came across something very odd. In a relatively small area of the park, a rain cloud had suddenly begun to form, causing light rain to fall on a relatively small area. They weren't sure what was causing it, but it certainly didn't seem natural, particularly since the trees had started to bloom in response. So, they headed over, curious as to what might be causing the change.

Kaze

Directly in the center of where the cloud was forming, there was a man laying face up on a park bench simply allowing the rain to fall on him. He certainly didn't seem like he was surprised that the rain was falling in the area. When the couple approached him, they would feel the light breeze forming in the affected area, and Kaze turned to notice their approach. He gave them a wide smile and said, half-jokingly, "Nice weather, huh?"

Noel

“Oh, um, I see…” Noel felt awkward. She didn’t interact with people like, in real life all that much anymore. Other than while she was hunting. That was different!

Auspicious Breeze

"You look like you've been around for a while, here." The wanderer had gotten pretty good at reading people over the decades, and the thought of reading someone this cute was making her smile. "I just got into the city. What about you?"

Noel Vermillion

"Mmmm, I guess I have. A few years now." Noel answered, still possesively clutching her notebook. "How are you adapting to it? It was a really big shock for me to suddenly be living on flat ground."

[SINIB]

Charlotte

Hm, leaving already? Either she was outright capricious, or she gave up on things too easily, and judging by the annoyance, it was probably the latter. Still it had been the gunslinger's idea to bring them along.

"Hold on a minute," the gunslinger said, fishing in her pocket for some chips and handing Sakura three lavender chips, 500 each, "Here. The casino was my idea anyway, and I can make it back later."

With that, Charlotte turned around and headed straight for the poker tables.

Sakura Matou

What, did she think this was good enough to make her stick around? Bah. Sakura frowned heavily at her. She was a little suspicious now. Why was this girl so keen on having her stick around. Sakura could think of all sorts of nasty things that she might be planning on doing to her.

Regardless, Sakura took the chips.

"Thanks." She said curtly, before continuing to head off towards the craps table. She'd make bank and then book it. Fly away if she had to.

[SINIB]

Lance

The priest snapped his fingers and pointed straight at her heart with a confident grin. "Sure do."

With that, he turned and got a flip phone out of his coat's pocket and dialed one of the contact numbers. Before long, someone answered, someone who must've been familiar considering how pleasant and casual this whole conversation sounded.

"Hey! Uh, yeah it's me. Yeah. Oh, wow really? Okay okay, congrats. Anyways, I'll need you to get here, and make sure to prep a big one. Thick crust, pepperoni and cheese."

He paused for a second, like he realized he had just stepped somewhere a bit too soon. He turned to the lass and asked her a simple question, concerned.

"Um, you're fine with pepperoni and cheese, right?"

Olga Marie of House Animusphere

Olga grabbed his arm as soon as he began to order a pizza. Her glare practically ordered him to hang up the phone.

[SINIB]

Ivanna

Ivanna smiled sadly and closed her eyes for a momenr, giving a silent prayer for all the souls who weren't properly laid to rest. "Yes, that is a problem we are aware of. The priests of Little Russia work very hard to keep them under control."

"But you seem to have misunderstood something, Lady Yukari. I wish to hire you on a permanant basis. You are powerful, are you not? I need people who are willing to speak their minds and work hard to help me fulfill my vision for this city."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Lance

The man was interrupted and sighed. "Sorry, gotta hang up. Try to at least get a salad ready till you get here, okay?." And with that, he closed the flip phone and turned to look at the spear lady.

"What's wrong lady?"

[SINIB]

Olga Marie

Her glare suddenly gained a weighty presence, as if her gaze itself made it hard to move. Any normal person would be paralyzed on the spot. "What are you thinking, inviting someone to this hellhole? Do you have no common sense whatsoever?" Olga was really close now, only about a foot and a half away.

[Panda]

Charlotte

The gunslinger briefly considered following the purplehead to the Craps table, but figured she'd be better off not risking her getting any more annoyed. Charlotte looked around for a moment for a nearby poker table, then looked around the vicinity of the table the other girl was heading to. It didn't take long to find a well placed reflective surface, probably one of those things concealing security cam, in just the right position for her needs.

The blonde took a moment to look around the table, evaluating her opponents and the dealer. Easy pickings, looked like, even if one of them reeked of power. Items on them, looked like, upon further inspection, but they weren't her concern. Charlotte only spared as much attention as she needed to for the hands that followed, keeping an eye on the girl and using the camera bulb she'd spotted earlier to keep an eye on the craps table itself in its reflection. Maybe she'd get a clearer picture now.
