[color=ed1c24]"Not even a single soul again? You'd expect younglings be more respectful"[/color] Said the store's mistress, [url=http://chasers-boundary-of-the-crimson-sky.wikia.com/wiki/Akane_Chikage]Akane Chikage[/url], as nonchalantly as she always is, before shifting her body on the couch. [color=ed1c24]"I wonder why Mizucchi and Mana are taking so long to get back home"[/color] then, she looked at a pack of potato chips that was laying by her side [color=ed1c24]"the chips are almost over too..."[/color] the old Youkai complained. [color=ed1c24]"Anyway, I wonder what those people are doing? The city is a mess. I wonder if they do not take me seriously anymore?"[/color] Chikage kept thinking, despite the fact that she didn't moved a muscle to interfere in the city's current situation. Not that she really needed to, since she had a rather useful representative [color=ed1c24]"If only she arrived sooner..."[/color] Chikage sighed as she snapped the last of her potato chips in half. With almost perfect timing, [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/2970703]Suki[/url] casually opened the door, before glancing towards the couch, where, as expected, the source of her powers was lounging about. Her eyes swept over Akane's lazy form, before resting on the empty chip bag. "Did you wait long?" With a small smile, the girl lifted the plastic white bag from behind her, before setting it down beside Akane. [color=ed1c24]"It depends on how long you think is long"[/color] Chikage answered [color=ed1c24]"for me, it wasn't that big of a wait, the city on the other hand..."[/color] she said as she pointed to a mute TV on a nearby wall. On it the images of the chaos around the city were being displayed, gangs raiding things, a few fires spreading around, supernatural beigns wreaking havoc, and even more. [color=ed1c24]"As you can see, there's a lot for you to do, dear~"[/color] Chikage said as she fished a pack of Pocky from the bag that Suki brought. Suki glanced at the TV and sighed in exasperation at the rather...common sight. "Kids sure do love to play, and leave a mess behind themselves..."Trailing off her words, she closed her eyes for a moment. Opening them after a moment's of respite, she tilted her head. While she was gone in the humah world on a milk run, the city had gotten vastly more chaotic, causing the girl slight confusion on where to start, evident by her expression, as if she was trying to bore a hole through the TV with her gaze alone. Chikage bit on a Pocky stick as she looked at Suki's expression with a certain degree of amusement. Who could say that finding an assistant would be so interesting? Was what she thought, but there was a time and a place for everything, and this wasn't one for amusement, so Chikage said [color=ed1c24]"Well, my dear, I usually say that there's no better place to begin than from the start, given the situation, I'd say that you should work your way up the threat ladder."[/color] she said, pointing to the members of the Yellow Jacket gang, who were all around the city, breaking things in their revenge fuelled rampage. [color=ed1c24]"Go give that dumb hornet a good beating. I'm sure that he'll behave for a time, after this"[/color] Chikage pointed to the gang leader, Suzumebachi who in truth was a hornet Youkai disguised as a man. [color=ed1c24]"And, if you find some runaway Chasers, or Youkai don't hesitate to talk about this place, we really need more customers over here"[/color] the old Youkai said, looking around her nigh empty business. "Suzumebachi, and runaways. Basically, clean-up and advertisements." With a nod, Suki turned around to leave, glancing her over her shoulders as she said, "Tell the little one I said hi." before leaving. Although, after about two seconds, she poked her head back in. "Try not to finish off those snacks too quickly." With that, she left to deal with the chaos of the Crimson Sky.
