Karn was happily snoozing, purring ever so softly and enjoying the warmth. That was until a hand moved to brush his fur, before panically grabbing at the ball of fur and scale and chucking the small creature toward Karn's sleeping back. The little beast let out a yowl in surprise, flapping his wings and twisting to land on his feet on top of the cushy fabric of the sleeping bag. Shaking himself, Karn licked down some roughled fur before letting out a little yawn as he sat on his haunches.

Sleepily turning the large round emerald eyes toward Nolan, who seemed to be yelling at him in shock and looked quite red in the face and panicked. The transformation wizard didn't know why Nolan was in a panic, but maybe he just had too much to drink last night.

With another yawn, Karn transformed into his human form. Wearing a baggy grey long sleeved night shirt. It went all the way to the middle of his thighs and his arms and hands couldn't be seen. He looked quite tiny in such a shirt, with half the collar hanging off the shoulder to show off bare skin. He wore black shorts and had his blonde hair was a mess. With another yawn, he ran his fingers through the blonde locks in a attempt to somewhat soothe the bed head out.

"Sleeping. We stayed up late last night. You get pretty wild when you drink a lot, it was kinda fun to see. We sure went at it hard. I think I'm a little sore even." Karn said sleepily, rubbing his emerald eyes in a attempt to rid of the sleepiness.


@Oblivion666@Caits @Zarkun

The tall feline chuckled as he watched his comrades, watching them both move on ahead before the cheerful smile vanished briefly as he watched them. Humming softly to himself as his ears perked and he glanced behind him. Feline ears twitching and twisting around as if trying to listen for something particular, he turned his eye to the front and continued riding after the others, the smile quickly returning.

When they reached the Guild, Prince dismounted and gingerly tied the horses up before following the others. His eye spotted the Rune Knights and the girl, his ears flicking at the conflicted sounds and the Guild Master explaining things. Despite this, it didn't take long for Prince to come in with the usual greeting when he returned to the Guild.

"Maaaaaaster!!! I'm baaaaack!" Prince cheered gleefully before promptly glomping the Guildmaster.

@Silver Fox
Nolan listened to Karn with a composed expression after having taken a deep breath. There was probably an explanation to all of this. It could've just been a joke to freak him out or maybe Karn just liked to cuddle. Yeah, the latter actually sounded like a more plausible answer. Then he listed to Karn explain himself. Outside he looked tranquil. Inside it went like this. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE?! WHAT HAVE I GOD DAMN DONE?! The gods truly despised Nolan. Only they could create a fate such as this for Nolan.

"Ah so that's where you two are!" A deep, bellowing voice came from behind Nolan. A man in his mid twenties dressed in red with a long, wild pony tailed had knelt down and wrapped his arm around Nolan's shoulder with a giant club resting on the man's own. His most distinct feature was the set of horns protruding from his forehead. "I heard that you two partied hard! Oh I wish I could've come and seen that, but alas, paperwork had made me it's slave once again." Even when he yokai was kneeling down he still seemed to be immensely taller than the two guild mages.

Nolan looked up at the yokai and asked, "So we just partied? That's it?" To say that there was a tinge of hope was to say that the sky only had a tinge of blue. Nolan could not had been more desperate to hear the actual truth. He didn't even care about his hangover. All he wanted to know was if he really didn't do anything that would make Nolan question his life choices.

The man arched his brow and asked, "Did the alcohol kill your brain cells? You were so hammered that passed out and got a face full of dirt after you declared something about women. Your buddy carried you back and now here we are you stupid drunk."

The God Slayer's body became as limp as a noodle and slid through the yokai's arm, laying back down on the sleeping bag. "Thank the gods." He mumbled incoherently and then forced himself back up. Perhaps it was the relief of finding out that he didn't do what he thought he did with Karn, but it seemed like his hangover just got up and left. Nolan perked up and realized that he didn't introduce his friend to Karn. "Oh Karn, this is Sengoku Emna, the heir of one of the four noble clans of the yokai world. Emna, this is my guild mate Karn."

"Ah, a pleasure to meet you miss." Enma gave Karn a wink not because he's into dudes, but because he thought Karn was beautiful woman instead of a very feminine man.

Oh boy, he could tell this was going to get weird again. "Actually Karn's a male." And he got the reaction he expected. Enma gave him the 'this bitch ain't serious' look before looking back at Karn, trying to figure out how in the world does anyone of the male sex look like a woman.

"You humans are such bizarre creatures. Just when I figure you guys out you throw me a freaking curve ball." Enma ran his fingers through his wild hair in frustration.

Jarvis
@Amaya Tamashii

Jarvis nodded, standing straight, "We should. And you should begin training with some of the others. Damian and Penny are away, Karn and Nolan appear to be training...somewhere. Hopefully Karn isn't too hard on Nolan, poor guy. But I'm pretty sure the others are around still. There will be team battles, so it's good to train and work together now"

Michael

Michael watched as Prince practically flew at the guild master, glomping him, completely ignoring the situation at hand it seemed. Michael squirmed slightly, and glanced back to the girl in hand cuffs.

Michael didn't like this. It was almost like there was...no. Michael heard the word Necromancer and it suddenly made sense. He shuddered, and moved as far away from the girl as the guild hall would allow, hugging Cleopatra to herself.

Penny
@zarkun

Penny gave a reluctant nod, kowing it was probably for the best, but she still felt guilty. She shifted, so she could face Damian. "Alright. I'll rest, for a time." she agreed, the reluctance heavy in her tone, "but...you don't think anyone else was caught up in the avalanche? towns people?" She asked, her voice soft.

Rune Knights
@Invisible Man

The captain looked to the girl as she spoke, and waited for her to quieten, before saying, "Eve, correct? You may not know that you have...an alternative personality. We merely wish to see you are able to safely control it, and that you won't hurt others, unknowingly, alright?" he spoke kindly, trying to show concern, and hoping that the girl wouldn't be threatened. "I'll remove the cuffs if you come with us peacefully"

"Mnn..." Trinity curled tighter in her bed as the sun shone through her opened window. The lighter, thinner drapes were drawn, scattering the sunlight as it entered her room. After a moment or two, the young lady takes a deeeep breath and rolls her curled form onto her knees and elbows. She takes another deep breath and holds it for a moment before she uncurls, stretching her arms into the air and finally flopping onto her back, now on top of her sheets and upside down in bed. Her mostly bare body gives a light shiver, not used to being quite so exposed to the air, and she sits up and turns to hang her feet off the bed. She yawns and stretches again before pushing off to her feet and starting to dress.

Another yawn announces Trinity's presence as she descends the stairs into the main room of the guild hall. The young minstrel's eyes spy Fleo, Ariel and Annalise by the job board and she waves, lazily. "G'm'rnin'." The young woman rubs her face and finds herself something to sit on nearby.

Annalise... so that shiny green thing on her neck was probably that glass shard that this job is about. And they shouldn't touch it? From the sounds of it, that was definitely the case, don't touch it. She wasn't in the habit of touching things that were sticking out of other people, anyway. Particularly sensitive areas like the head or neck.

@hatakekuro

Karn continued rubbing his eyes before stretching out his slender body, not really realizing any distress Nolan may have felt. As a very large figure came toward them and wrapped a arm around Nolan's shoulder, Karn chuckled a little as he listened to Emma explain what happened.

"Yeah, you drank so much, you demanded a arm wrestling match then a drinking competition. You were talking in slurs I could barely understand any of it." Karn chuckled in amusement before blinking his slender long eyelashes as the Yokai also mistook him as a woman, but the blonde simply giggled in amusement as Nolan corrected the Yokai.

"It's nice to meet you Emmy. Don't worry, a lot of people make that mistake. Ashy is one of them and was even afraid of me." he chuckled. It was quite amazing seeing Nolan not quite as terrified as he was when they first met. Even when Karn wore regular clothes the Ash God Slayer seemed utterly terrified of him.

Eve could tell that this man was being sincere in his words, but she had no idea what he meant about some kind of alternate personality, she only had one, and that was herself. She looked at her handcuffs and then back towards the Rune Knight with her trying to contemplate the situation at hand here. She could already handle her special powers as she had managed to bring back her town to life and they seemed to be fine, and she has never hurt anyone with her magic before ever in her life. Eve suddenly sat down on the floor, her mind still trying to decide her fate and after a minute or two of silence from her, she had made her mind. She was still sitting down, but she looked up at the Rune Knight Captain with a smile. "If you remove my cuffs, I can swear to you that I will be peaceful. However, I can't come with you, simple as that. I've set my sights to bring some smiles on a lot of faces and I will not be able to do that if you take me away." Eve looked hard at the Captain before looking back at the guild hall, she was trying her best to be serious, but the glomping right in front of her was on the verge to into making her laugh.

Lazarus

He sighed, opening his window. "We don't have time to eat down there. Lets go." He formed his wings. "We'll catch our own food." He bluntly stated. "Come on then." He offered her his hands, ready to take off.

Shujin

He was taken aback. "M-master... she's just a little girl!" He complained. "I've sat through countless meetings with the likes of these men. They will not help her!" He looked down. "I've killed so many. This isn't the right way to handle this trust me master. This isn't what I signed up for!" He clenched his fists passionately. "If this guild is supposed to be a family, bring her into that family and help her that way! She doesn't need magical atonement!" He pleaded with the master. Prince came in. "Prince, help me." He looked at him with pleading eyes.

@Zarkun@Invisible Man@Caits@Silver Fox@YipeeXD

Zephyr
Dragon Fang Guild

Zephyr watched the guild master bring Shujin over and started discussing that they were just as capable as the royal guard was at detaining magic. Yet said the girl was a necromancer that was too unstable to help out. Zephyr frowned further as he heard the knights talk and heard what the girl had to say for herself. What she said was all Zephyr needed to take her side on matters. "Yeah real unstable. Sounds more like you are just don't want to bother with her master. Besides what did she even do wrong in a single day?? She certainly wasn't around when me Mikey and Prince left. Yet currently it sounds like she wants nothing to do but help others out and you are sending her off." Zephyr then clamped his hands together and looked at Jack. "Please master, re think this. Shouldn't you at least give her a chance first?"

@Oblivion666@Caits @Zarkun @Invisible Man @YipeeXD

Prince happily huggles the Master before letting go with a cheery smile, his ears twitching as others continued to speak. Shunin speaking to Master Jack before pleading to Prince for assistance. As Zephyr piped up his two jewel, the tall feline hummed softly before his eye flickered toward the girl in question. She smelled of the dead and rotting corpses, not exactly the most pleasant smell and probably wasn't the most tasteful magic. Still, the tall red head tipped his hat a little, still smiling a little.

"Well first, you two need to understand this little predicament. Both sides at least. There are several reasons Necromancers are not quite the favorite. Many find such a thing quite disturbing and if it was in he wrong hands, it could lead to chaos and panic. Another is the law and religion. Defiling the dead isn't exactly in the code of conduct and in religion many believe it is morally wrong and the soul of the corpse is eternally damned. Blah blah blah etcetera etcetera. But, she can't help her magic and might know any better. So, question is if she did do something bad and if she meant to and if she is a danger. Minus human belief. the tall feline said before turning moving closer to the girl and Rune Knights.

Leaning a little closer, he sniffed to examine the decayed scent before slightly bending down so he was face to face with the young girl. Despite the knowledge and the smell that this was a Necromancer, his smile was still as bright as ever.

"Hello there beautiful! You can call me Prince. Can you tell me how exactly you bring smiles to everyone?" Prince asked with a bright gentle smile.

As Eve was awaiting a response from the guards surrounding her, she was watching the group of strangers that were talking about her. Most seemed to want her to be freed, which made her happy, but it seemed that the person who wanted her to be put away was the leader of the group. She was stirring a lot of commotion, which did slightly embarrass the girl as she didn't really except this many people to pay attention to her, but it seemed all they cared about were her special powers, something that they called a necromancer. Honestly, she has never heard of the term before, but it seems like many people have already been accustomed to her type of magic and that surprised her as she thought her magic was one of a kind. However, as she was watching the group talk about her fate, she didn't expect one of them to suddenly walk towards her as commonly people felt disgusted when they walk towards her. Eve started to bounce excitedly as the stranger continued getting closer, but ceased when they were face to face. The Necromancer saw the bright smile that the stranger was giving off and replied with her own toothy smile and responded to the question with enthusiasm.

"Well, I planned to make people happy with my magic. There is nothing really special about me. I just remembered how horrible I felt when I didn't have this gift, and then I was just filled with joy when I had it. I can't really explain it, but I just have the need to make people feel as happy as I feel." Eve shrugged at Prince, she really couldn't explain her feelings for wanting to help people, it was just something deep inside of her that wanted to help. Now, her actual feelings were a completely different story, but at the moment she was responding truthfully to Prince's question. "Oh! How could I forget! It is very nice to meet you Prince, my name is Evelynn or Eve for short. I would have given you a hug, but you know." She looked at her handcuffs and back at Prince before giggling.

"By returning the dead back to life, and giving them a half life. She restored a village to its life, and while I'm sure she saw them happy, they are not. The dead are not meant to come back to life." The rune knight captain replied, giving a heavy sigh, and saying "You may not be the best judge of character Shujin. You killed for vengeance , after all, and not to protect, even though you may have thought that, your heart was just set on revenge." the Captain spoke coldly now. "We are taking the girl, for her safety as well as the rest of the population. We will not harm her. She just needs to know that her magic can be harmful, even if she means it to be....joyful. You will not stop us. If, in time, she proves she can understand the magic she holds and the pain it can cause, we will return her."

The time lord had watched this all, and finally, he set his drink down, and rose smoothly, approaching the group now forming around the girl. "If you don't mind, I may be of assistance here. I have studied many magics, and my own would certainly be enough to keep the girl in check. I am willing to take care of her, and watch over her. Certainly better then her being taken to a place were people don't quite yet understand all magics, despite being the magic council"

He gave the girl a smile, finding her quite curious. Necromancers, even before, had been quite rare. Still, Time Lord agreed with the fact that the dead were not meant to come back to life. At least, not for any length of time. The girl did need to understand that, that was true, but taking her away would do no good. "You see, I have the ability to...manipulate time, for lack of a better word. And thus, will be able to put to right any wrong's she does. She is, after all, just a girl,and doesn't deserve to be carted off to be treated...well, not wrongly by the magic council, they don't know any better, but...just not well"

And the girl needed company, that much was clear, and needed to have life, love, laughter and joy in her life, not whatever the magic council could offer. And she might just be useful, the Timelord thought. He turned his back on the rune knights, and faced the girl. "Would you like to come with me, child?"

Sasha

Sasha stepped towards Lazarus, giving a nod. She had everything she needed already, and was ready to go. As Lazarus took off, Sasha felt uneasy as the ground disappeared, and tightened her own arms around Lazarus, not worried that they would fall, just feeling the total lack of control she had. No doubt she could catch herself with her magic, her snake stairs, or hawk arrow, but she just felt powerless.

@yipeeXD@Silver Fox@Invisible Man@Oblivion666@zarkun

Jack reigned in his anger. They were young, and likely not faced a necromancer in their lives, which Jack had had the unpleasant experience of doing twice. "Let me ask you both, how many necromancers have you faced in your life? Shujin, I doubt you have, for they were the explicit territory of the magic Council because of their magics properties. I've faced two others since this guild formed, both at the express request of the Council." He takes a seat with them and uses his magic to create the images of the two other necromancers. One was a boy, no older than 17, but something about his smile, much like Eve's, was unnerving, even to them. "These are them, the first was much older than the other, going into his fifties. He'd been terrorizing a mountain village for years, but with the strong fear of magic in general, this village simply fought off his undead themselves. Eventually, a hiker who'd been attacked by one of his 'ghouls', as the hiker called it, reported the magical danger to the Council. They started with Rune Knights a company of the Kingdom's best magical restrainers and by the time word reached the Council and Kingdom, the lone survivor of the encounter had died from his wounds. Dragon Fang was but an infant, with only myself, Ammy, and Jake as members with a few others.

The Council, knowing the strength of my magic, asked for my assistance. The matter was over in hours, and the 'Demon of Lorenth' was detained." He sighed before continuing, this one of many painful events in his past he preferred not to talk about. He'd managed to shrug off Prince without freaking out and let him address Eve. "The other, as you can see, was but a lad, and his name was Fredrick. His attitude about what he did was much the same as Eve here. In fact, he was one of the founding members of the early Dragon Fang members, the third S-Class wizard. We...found a way to keep him from directly bringing back bodies, and instead he was able to hide behind a false claim of Shamanistic Magic. But...then something went wrong during a job with Zen and Joslyn. It had been five years since his, for lack of better terminology, evil personality had surfaced. We all thought it was safe. Then, it happened.

They were fighting with a Vulcan and loosing, when Fredrick snapped and drained it's life force before raising it again. Zen and Jos got hurt pretty bad trying to protect the village that they'd gone to help from the sudden surge of undead creatures by the time I got there. It was a terrible battle, the Council even sent Rune Knights to help with an evac of the citizens. At the end of it all though, Freddy took control again and...well," Jack pointed to a plaque that most of the guild ignored. On it read:



"After Freddy, I swore I wouldn't risk it again, I wouldn't let it happen to another innocent person if I could help it." He overheard the Timelord offer to take the girl and was about to object when he described his magic. At that, he smiled to himself. "That might actually work better, Captain Hysen. And you don't have to worry about her raising the dead by accident on her yard excursions."




Damian smiled and pulled her in close. "I'm beyond positive that no one else was caught. If it'll make you feel better, I can make a few passes on my Striker Blade while you sleep to make sure. Although," He smiled devilishly, "Maybe it swept up some of those dark wizards Jarvis warned us about."

Lazarus

He chuckled as her grip tightened. "Don't the trust me?" He grunted, climbing higher and higher. It became colder, and he dropped lower. "So tell me. We're alone up here, is there anybody in Phoenix wing that you do not trust?" He asked boldly. "We are a guild that often gets into trouble. It seems strange, no?"

Shujin

The master condescended to him a little. "Master, I've not been a guild wizard for long, but what the fuck do you think I have been doing for the past couple of years? I am familiar with both of those cases, however I wasn't assigned to either of them... I did my duty and nothing more." He paused for a moment as if to gather his thoughts. "I am well aware of the consequences of necromancy. Some of the things I have heard are truly horrific, but this girl is nothing in comparison to them." The stranger spoke up. He was glad that the idea was being excepted. However he glared for a moment. He felt a presence which was familiar. "I know you." He grabbed the clothing of the time lord. "Why do I know you?" He was confused, and angry at the same time, but he didn't know why.

@Silver Fox
Emmy...? Did he just call the esteemed, honorable, magnificent Enma Emmy? Surely he could've just misheard him, but no he did not. This feminine boy just called him by a nickname so childish that it was slander. With a forceful smile holding gritting teeth he said with a twitching eye. "Karn do not call me Emmy. I am a lord in this land and I don't ask for much, but do not even dare to call me by that infantile name." Oh he did not want to punch Karn in the face, but oh boy if he called him Emmy one more time he was going to knock all of his teeth out.

Nolan on the other hand smirked. "Oh Emmy you should embrace it. It's such a fitting name for you oh honorable one." The God Slayer chuckled amused as well as receiving a sharp glare from Enma. The oni's fist was clenched and ready to smack around a certain brown haired bastard that's afraid of women.

"How about you shut it craven?" The oni retorted and received that sharp gaze that he had gave Nolan very recently.

"Don't call me a craven. What are you compensating with that giant club anyway? Your tiny horns?" Now it was Nolan who was clenching his fist and the two of them were leaning closer towards each other, a spark of electricity crackled from the sheer intensity in their eyes.

"Can it dumb ass You may attract the vile demons that you're so afraid of." The tension just kept increasing. The duo's faces darkened and so did the small space around them, only to be lit by a fire that sprung out of nowhere behind them just like in an anime.


"I'm only speaking dumbass for you to understand me." At this point the two of them were head pushing their foreheads against each other, pushing against each other as the flame behind them intensified and the sparks in their eyes crackled wildly. Nolan laid his hand on Kaso and Enma was ready to swing down his club at the human. The two of them were ready to go all out against each other in that moment, that is until a third party intervened.

"Stop it you two!" The spirit girl that appeared before Nolan and Karn the night before appeared behind the Phoenix Wing mage and the oni and punched both of their heads at the same time, leaving comically large swellings on their head with steam coming out of them as they laid on the ground. "This is no way that a noble should behave and Nolan you're a guest so behave!"

Nolan and Enma were both on their knees bowing to her in apology. "We're sorry." They said at the same time.

Karn
@hatakekuro

Karn didn't seem fazed by the oni's obviously disatisfaction and the notion that the blonde might get decked in the face. Humming, Karn thought for a moment before smiling brightly. "Emma-Kun then." he cheered, deciding to use the same way around Zero's name. Using the given name, but still making it cute as well.

It was then Karn watched the two fellow males seem to bicker and get ready to throw down. The blonde pondered if he should stop such a fight but maybe this was some form of training so he had to think for a moment. Plus it was quite intense, Master Rian said it was usually a waste to get in the middle of tetastarone bickers between boys.

It was then the spirit girl from last night showed up and soon put a halt to the two and both apologized and bowed. The blonde chuckled before smiling happily toward the girl.

"Nice to see you again spirit lady! Glad to see they listen to you." Karn chirped cheerfully.


@Oblivion666@Caits @Zarkun @Invisible Man @YipeeXD

Prince hummed as he listened to the girl, his ears flicking but he kept his smile. His one teal eye examining her. She didn't seem like a bad person exactly, quite innocent in fact. In a way at least. A Necromancer was a Necromancer. One can't change that fact, but she didn't seem to be exactly evil. But doesn't follow the moral compass of society.

"Is that so? That's quite generous of you. I'd like to make people happy with my magic as well. But, I came to realize, some people aren't actually happy with it. So I have to read the situation so I don't make more people unhappy. It be sad if I caused that right?" he hummed just as cheerful, before laughing a little and hugging the girl and lightly roughling the top of her head.

"Nice to meet you Eva, a very pretty name for a pretty lady." Prince hummed before his ears perked to the conversation and slightly nodded to the Time Lord's idea.

"I agree with the idea. She doesn't seem mean spirited in nature. Getting put somewhere full of Council meanies though might sour her dear tender heart. Plus, I probably should be shackled along with her. Both are morally, incorrect aye? A chance to guide her would help everyone, while also keeping a eye on her." he hummed in a sing song tone.

Fleo Plector – Phoenix Wing Hall

The minstrel's arrival caused Fleo to perk up. Jumping to her feet, she declared to the group, [“Looks like we're all here, then! If we're all awake, we ought to head out. Yesterday evening I scooted over to the train station to check the schedule, and there's a locomotive that passed through Onibus leaving in about...” Fleo's eyes opened wide as she beheld the clock on the wall. She offered the other women an embarrassed smile. [“...Ten minutes. Oops.”

Fleo rushed outside, with Annalise on her bandaged heels. The train station lay all the way across town; it would take some serious footwork on everyone's part to get there. The dusty woman rounded earnestly on her hooded companion. [“Is there a way you can use no-name to get to the station?”

At that, Annalise treated Fleo to a withering frown. “What d'you think I am, a fortune teller? 'Course I can move fast. Watch and learn, toots.” Brushing Fleo aside, she held her sheathed sword in the air. A web of cracks spread across the surface before the scabbard fragmented into a swarm of pitch-black butterflies. Still bearing a condescending demeanor, she flourished the bared blade in the air, and the metal seemingly disappeared. A moment later, judging by the amount of air now cycling around them, Fleo guessed that the steel hadn't vanished, but materialized into wind. So, too, had the butterflies become sylphs, and all at once they flew against Annalise's body, carrying her with them invisibly but steadily. To onlookers, it might have very well looked like the dye-haired foreigner was sitting on an invisible chair, and even Fleo had to admit it looked rather weird.

Watching Annalise go, she raised slightly skyward on a cushion of dust, but before rushing off turned back to look at Trinity and Ariel. [“Trin, I know you've got that weird sort of net trick you used to find me, but you okay to follow us, Ari? Most fire mages I've known have used their powers to boost their jumping, at least. Oh, but if you've copied my Dust Magic, then you can use Sirocco, right?”


@liferusher

With Gabriel concentrated on poking Thor, he lost his chance at nabbing More Than a Feeling when the somber Eliza plucked it from the board instead. She made as if to walk off, but glanced at the two newcomers for more than an instant, even if it was down her nose. Chances were, she couldn't do the job alone, and it would be easier to deal with the attention of people she didn't care about than the people with whom she'd already formed bonds.

After a moment of unease, she took a step toward the two and offered the slip to them between her fingers. “Vere you two vanting to do thiz job az vell?”



Breathing a sigh of relief that the Rune Knights hadn't even noticed him, much less recognized him, Nero prepared to invade the bar and order something special: real bacon. His enthusiasm for grilled flank meat diminished a tad, however, as he happened to catch a glimpse of the commotion that the Rune Knights were apparently on hand to deal with. With as much discretion as he could gather, Nero leaned in to check out what the problem was.

Apparently, the whole fuss revolved around one girl. Looking at her, the genie could not say he was impressed. Ragged, dark hair, unhealthy-looking skin, sunken eyes, and purplish discoloring around said eyes made her look like, as best Nero could place it, a creep. The fact that such a cheery smile adorned such a face made her almost downright unnerving. And did someone just say necromancy? Yipes. It did not escape Nero, unfortunately, that yet again he was being hypocritical. “Geez,” he murmured, “I hope I don't look like that. No wonder nobody likes me. Hey, at least she'd probably go for a wish later, if the Rune Goons aren't hauling her off to an asylum. That'll be fun.” As much as he wanted breakfast, the dark mage decided to linger around a moment more to see how the conflict was resolved.

time lord

The time lord just chickled lightly at Shujin's behaviour, detaching Shujin from himself, he smoothed his cloak. "oh, I've been around, here and there. You might have seen me at Phoenix Wing, I was there for a time, and I did watch you and your...theatrics there. I seek information, and well known guilds seem to be a good source of information" he turned aside from Shujin, to shift slightly in front of the girl, pleased that others seemed to be agreeing with his idea.

"well, there you go captain. I am willing TO take responsibility of this child. And it seems I have the backing of Master Jack."

The captain sigjed heavily. There were many scenarios, and the Time Lord could imagine that the captain was critiquing a plan of attacking and taking the girl, before decided not to risk it.

"very well. But at any hint of trouble, we will be back" the time lord waited for the tune Knights to be gone, before speaking once more, turning to the girl and Master Jack.

"she needs laughter, love and light. I can give direction, and care to her, and set magics in place to counter act any thing she tries to do, if it has a permanent nature, but traveling as I do is not good for any child, and certainly not for Eve. I can be here quickly if anything goes wrong, and I will be around for a while to talk to your members."

gabriel

Gabriel saw that the job was taken and gave an inward groan, thinking that if he hadn't have been distracted by the creepy staring, he would have nabbed the job. The other jobs didnt appeal to him. He sighed, turning back to the board, but the person that had taken the job stepped towarda them.

"I was, yes. I thought I would be good for it, especially if it was a spirit"

sasha

"I trust you" sasha said quite genuinely, looking up at Lazarus, she smiled. Then frowned slightly at the change in conversation. "I trust everyone in the guild. Why? Do you not trust someone?" she asked, wondering what could have possibly brought this on.

Michael watched the scene, uneasy, watching everything. It seemed that the girl was to stay, and that made Michael feel more uneasy. He looked around, but Prince was too close to the girl, and so was Zephyr. Michael made a noise, clutching Cleopatra, who gave a little mew.

Abviously the girl needed help. She might not realise what she was doing to people, to spirits. Michael squirmed, uncomfortable, and eventually he sighed, stepping up, he went to speak, but his voice didn't want to come, so he hurried away, to the bar as if that was what he had planed on doing all along, setting Cleopatra on the bar.

Penny gave a laugh, amused at the comment "that's what I thought, too. They probably survived, but are scattered now. All the better for us, then" she knew that people probably didn't get swept up, innocents didn't. It seemed that the Avalanche was localized, and she was sure that it has missed the town. "you're right. They're porbably safe"

Eve would have loved to continue talking to Prince but her attention was soon adverted as the Captain started to speak which made her snap her head towards the Rune Knight. The words that he spoke slightly hurt her feelings, she did not like people really mentioning the dead to her, they were living in her eyes. The Necromancer's attitude continued to deteriorate as the Captain was soon saying that she would be taken away from this place and put into some sort of place where she wouldn't like at all. Her smile started to waver until someone suddenly stepped into the conversation... Again. She silently listened to the strange man and his proposal about accepting his deal about not being taken away to some scary place. Eve didn't really need to think about it too hard and smiled brightly at the strange man. "Well, of course I will take that offer! There is no real question to that!"

Eve was about to get up before Prince had suddenly sat her back down, he was talking about happiness and how making people happy could also make people sad? She didn't really understand as her reasoning was if you make everyone happy, how can people be sad? She was about to question Prince before he suddenly hugged her, slightly ruffling her hair on his departure from the hug. She laughed at Prince's comment about her, she didn't exactly see herself pretty, but she wouldn't ignore the compliant. Eve started to finally get back on her feet as the main reason she was sitting was to just make it harder for the Rune Knights to take her away, but as she was free, it didn't matter! Once the handcuffs were off, she hugged all of the Rune Knights before waving them all a safe trip.

She suddenly started to feel her powers coming back to her and now she was feeling great! Eve went over to Prince and hugged him tightly, "Now, I can finally give that hug!" Eve giggled before running over towards the Time Lord and gave him a huge bear hug and tightly squeezed at him, but remember that she was still smelling slightly of rotting flesh. "Thanks for the help mystery man! Couldn't have gotten out of that without you! Thanks you!" Eve was happy, like, genuinely happy at the moment. It wasn't much to lessen the deep pit within her, but at least it was a start.

Zephyr

Zephyr along with everyone watched the images Jack made, and the story he told about his dealing with necromancers. Zephyr remained quiet as Jack told the story Fredrick Harvey and how his demise came. Sure it was sad, but in the end the necromancer did what was right, even though it costed him his life. What it sounded like, was she just would need training to control her powers and being locked up wouldn't be of much help at all. Zephyr heard what Prince said to Eve and gave his friend a smile, if it was one thing Prince did best. It was making others smile.

So when this weird man spoke up and came up with a plan Zephyr raised his hand and pointed at the man. "I like his idea, it works out for everyone and no one has to be sour about what happens!" Zephyr said as he gave the man called Timelord a thumbs up. Zephyr then looked at jack and smiled "So does this mean she can stay? Come on! All of us will promise to watch after her, to make sure nothing bad happens!" Zephyr said as he ran over to Eve and wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pointed at her. "Come on, who can say no to this face? Its practically bursting with kindness and childlike joy!" Zephyr said giving Jack one of his signature Zephyr grin.
