Akkina just pressed against Silas deeper, She flung her arms around Silas' body and hugged Silas tightly and then let go for a little bit realizing that Randy was in danger " What do we do to get Randy back, Silas" She looked at Silas sweetly and looked at the Kyato Corp building trying to find a way in without endangering them all. And then stood up and then began to make herb way down to Ground Level in order to sneak in to Kyato Corp.@WittyWolf

Kyato looked at the people that were in his Corporation and then walked to the Safe, and entered into the code device four digit code and then stepped aside from the door as it opened, with steam going everywhere and then walked into the Safe and reached for four Bags of one hundred thousand gold coins and threw them to titan reluctantly .

@The Slenderman

Silas followed her down, jumping lithely from his perch to the ground. "Don't worry Akkina, I have a good feeling about this. We should wait on a neighboring rood and see what happens with it. Randy isn't one to just take this laying down." Keeping his bow strung, he kept an arrow on the string, ready for another attack. He didn't want to be taken by surprise again.

Titan hefted the bags in both hands, two to each and jiggled them, producing metallic clinks. Although Seto Kyato couldn't see, the man had a small smile on his face. "It's been a pleasure, Seto." Tapping a few keys on the Interface, the collar disengaged and Titan deposited it into a pocket. He did the same with the bags, the coins disappearing as quickly as they appeared. He untied Randy, storing away the rope in a similar fashion. What he didn't tell the businessman Kyato, was that he had also re-activated the tinker's gauntlets. Titan's business was finished here and he hated grudges following him through life. "Take care, tinker. I hope we don't have to meet under similar circumstances." With a nod to both men, Titan took his leave.

@WittyWolf@The Slenderman

Randy rolled his neck, and also wiggled his fingers as his gauntlets re-activated. He gave Titan a nod before walked away, and then looked at Seto. "So Kyato, what's the big deal huh? A) Why the fuck did you set a bounty on me, Silas and Akkina? and B) What the hell is so important about this damned sword?" He questioned.

"It's a good thing that they were just as real as the proper coins, they were the counterfeit bags" Kyato smiled and walked to his desk and sat down on the chair, writing away on a little bit of paper, He looked up and beckoned Randy to come over, as Kyato held out a real 400,000 gold check as a sign of partnership between Silas,Randy and Akkina "I will also give you the most advanced equipment available in prototype stage. And the answers to your question I only set a Bounty on your head, basically I used you as bait to get some bounty hunters here so I recognize them so I can protect your group and the other question is I no longer have need of Durandal now." He said with seriousness in his voice

Randy simply shook his head. "Nope, I smell bullshit. What's your game plan Seto? What's the catch?" He further asked. He cracked his neck and shook around a little, loosening up for a fight. "Because, I'll be honest with you..." He said a he stretched his arm. "I was really hoping to beat you for answers."

@GingerBoi123 Kyato simply shook his head and put his hands on his pistol and pointed it towards the man that was standing in front of the desk that Kyato was sitting behind, he then fired the gun at the guard behind Randy and then put the gun down and looked at Randy again with the truth ripping out of him " I don't want Durandal. I am telling the truth okay" He Said and then extended his hand towards Randy for him to shake it.

@The Slenderman

Randy refused to shake his hand. "I don't trust you... at all. Take it how you will. So if you don't mind. I will take my leave." He asked before turning and looking at the dead guard. "You should treat your men better. Wouldn't want a mutiny would you?" He commented, before going for the door.

Akkina stood waiting for the right moment to show itself to enter Kyato Corp, She looked around to Silas, and softly embraced him and softly kissed hi before smiling happily to him "What is taking Randy so long, He should be done by now... I may have to use Durandal" She hesitantly whispered softly and then reached for the Durandal and she pulled it up and out of its sheath

JG walked the narrow streets of some city she still didn't know the name of, trying not to get noticed. She'd woken up on a rooftop 12 hours ago, with nothing on her but her clothes, and no recollection of how she got there. She wasn't phased by this at all however, as it was a part of her life she was accustomed to; that and her feline attributes and horrendous memory. She'd acquired some local currency and food through some night time thievery, although the bulk of her money had come from a middle-aged man who'd preyed on her as she was walking early in the morning. Having briefly considered taking his life in exchange for his wondering hands, she decided instead to snatch his purse while evading his advances. Distracted by his failure to have his way, he probably wouldn't notice it was gone until much later.

JG stood at 5'5, with long golden hair (quite unkempt) and big blue eyes that often made strangers and friends alike mistake her as innocent. Despite her efforts to convince them otherwise, it was her air-head demeanour that convinced them she couldn't possibly have a shred of evil in her. She often used this to her advantage of course. Her clothing was plain, tan-coloured trousers and a long sleeved shirt that might have been white once. Her dark brown leather boots looked worn but sturdy.

She wandered through the streets, completely and utterly lost, looking for somewhere that might sell good quality weapons for a price that she could afford (although she hadn't actually any idea how much her stolen purse contained). She really needed to buy a hood too, to cover her hair and shade her eyes; something that would undoubtedly help her with avoiding unwanted attention.

@The Slenderman
"Just wait Akkina, I don't like our chances attacking a fully defended and large building." He kissed her again, loving thr thrill it gave him. Reluctantly, he let go of her and looked up the tall structure. At the sound of the gunshot, Silas's heart stood still "I'll be back, my love. I'll try and find a window looking into the office." Silas started to scale a nearby post, then onto a ledge, and then even higher, using the framing of windows and ledges of roofs to pull himself up. Soon he was looking into Kyato's office, witnessing a strange sight. A figure lay on the floor, the smell of blood thick. Randy stood, apparently unarmed and affecting a rather aggressive posture with Kyato. Kyato himself stood next to his desk, offering a hand that Randy didn't take.

Titan wasn't too angry at the Kyato, he had put an explosive collar around his neck. On closer inspection, much closer, the gold was counterfeit. However, the forgeries were passable enough to sell to an interested party or use at various stalls around the Marketplace that never looked twice at yellow, thick gold. As he was thinking of possible contacts, a thin and dirty looking girl passed him as he walked one way and she the other. Looking back, he noticed the wandering air about her and a feeling of helplessness. The girl's clothes, once thought to have been dyed, were actually just grime and wear. And then there was how she walked, with an eerily familiar fluid grace, like a stalking cat. He decided he needed some food, as hunger seemed to addling his brains. Nevertheless, he called in most of his Gears except for around ten. Five stayed fixed on Akkina and Silas, the others following the lost-looking girl. This was no town for a woman of her age to be just wandering, he decided. It was a powder keg, just waiting for a spark.

@WittyWolf Akkina saw him go into the building and she just sat down on the ground holding Durandal tightly, She looked around the Kyato Corp area and seen the Kyato Corp logo everywhere in that section of the marketplace, She began to close her eyes waiting for the others, hopefully no bounty hunters would kill or capture her from this spot.

Kouh was asleep on Wolf's back with a deadman's grip on her basket and a looser grip on the fur around her. As wolf walked most people moved out of the way but a girl had decided to sit on the middle of the street. He stepped over her without a second thought but when spotted the sword that she clutched to herself he sat down in front of her and shook Kouh awake. "Wha... why aren't we at old millers trading post?" she asked then looked over wolf's shoulder at the Akkina "Who is this"

Ava laughed, "Maybe you just need a drinking buddy." She said. "How much to drink with a fascinating gall like yourself?" Ava then kept browsing. "also I'm looking for herbs, maybe something to help someone relax and to sooth the mind." She added.

@The Slenderman@The ghost in black

Silas looked over the side of the building, checking on Akkina and making sure nothing would go amiss. Sure enough, she'd attracted the attention of a large wolf creature and a small girl. His grip on his bow tightened until the wood seemed to groan in protest. He sniffed the air. That was indeed more wolf than man, more than likely a magical creature the smaller girl had tamed somehow. He stepped off the edge, grabbing a protruding post and swinging around the face of his perch until he was a story above Akkina and the pair. He pulled up his bow, nocked an arrow to the string, and pulled it back to his ear. "Slowly, step away from the woman and announce yourselves!" Silas called down, shouting slightly to be heard. His tone was not hostile, but it was adamant.

Aleksandri
@xXSINXx
"Oh I'm not that interesting, just a lady trying to make a living" Aleksandri said with a yawn and took another sip from her bottle "Well anyway for a drink i would say it's on the house, but for the relaxer hmmmm....how about a pouch of dried waning moon leaves" she explained before standing up and walking around to a shelf to the side of the shop, when she reached it Aleksandri whipped a small leather pouch out of one of her dress pockets to be filled with the dried leaves. "So *hic* this stuff is pretty strong, strong enough to cause slight tiredness through touch alone, so use gloves or something, kay?" she said as she inspected the leaves before putting them in the pouch. When Aleksandri finished with the bag she walked over and handed it to Ava "Anything else Miss?"

Wolf and Kouh
@WittyWolf
"Wolf, step back" Kouh said before hopping off his back and raising her hands as a sign of peace. "I'm Kouh a hunter" she called with a smile then motioned to wolf "And this is wolf, Is this your friend down here?" she asked. Wolf had moved back a couple of steps and was sitting in a hunched position where he could keep an eye on the situation unfolding though was more interested in sticking his nose into Kouh's basket by him and pulling out a large peice of meat along with one of the spears by accident. Both of them didn't seem threatened in the least even when a bow was aimed at them.

@The ghost in black

Ava looked at the leaves. "How much for em?" she asked, taking out her coin pouch. "And yes a bottle would be nice, it's been quite a adventure getting here so I'm just trying to take a load off." She approached the counter. "This is a nice little shop you have here, how long have you had it?"

@The ghost in black

Silas didn't feel any hostility from the pair and slowly lessened the tension on his bow until he finally put his arrow back into the quiver on his back. Akkina wasn't moving, but her breathing was even and steady. How could she have fallen asleep so quickly? "Yes, she is." Silas dropped down until he held onto the ledge of the roof, then allowed himself to fall. He landed standing, crouching to lessen the impact. Barely a sound came from his fall, just a light cloud of dust from the impact.

"I'm Silas, of a similar occupation. Hello Kouh, and Wolf." He dipped his head slightly in respect. He crouched next to Akkina, brushing a lock of hair from her face and tucking behind an ear. "The stress of the day must have finally caught up to her.." he noted to himself, then straightening. "There have been some, complications, recently. I'm surprised she didn't awake when you came near." The beast called Wolf certainly smelled and acted like one, excepting his altered form and obvious intelligence. "Come to sell some furs, I imagine?"

JG eventually found her way into something that appeared to be a market. Unbeknownst to her, she had entered through the North-Western gates. The atmosphere of the city changed noticeably as she progressed from the secluded edges of the market to the more populated ones, and she saw her mood progressively worsen from the forced invasion of her personal space in crowded areas. While the area was populated by a great variety of cultures and races, she saw something she was particularly unfamiliar with; some people seemed to have almost merged with machines. The extent varied, from arm sheaths that potentially acted purely as technological gadgets, to full body enhancements. She looked at these people with subtle wonder.

One man in particular stood out to her mostly due to his sheer size. At over 7' tall, she saw him coming a long way off. Enough to get a good look at him before he would have been in close enough proximity to notice her amongst the crowd. By then she had resumed her usual vacant expression and pretended quite successfully not to have noticed him. She did [i]feel[i] him watching her, though. In fact, that sensation somehow didn't leave her, even after he was well out of sight. JG frowned, scanning the crowd quickly. If it wasn't him watching her, then who was it? A few people had their eyes on her, but she could tell they were mostly harmless and simply curious. She felt more that someone, or something, was following her. Eventually she gave up and continued walking. Whatever it was would show itself eventually and she could deal with it then.

She reached East end of the market and turned back, not having found what she was looking for. There was much more of the market to explore, however, so she headed South this time. After a good half hour trying to slip between or push through people to get to where she wanted, she found herself passing by a Taylor's. She'd just passed it when she remembered about the hood she wanted to buy. She turned back and ducked into the shop. She still felt watched, though no one was in sight.

@JG

Titan had decided to grab a drink while he monitored his Gears' footage. He sat in pub just a little aways from Humphrey's pawn shop, drinking steadily from a pitcher of ale. The woman who had sold him the beverage had nearly told him off for such an outlandish order, until she caught site of him. She dropped the pint glass she'd been wiping clean and it shattered to the floor. Titan had added a few gold coins in apology and she quickly warmed to him. Now he sat in front of a delicious seafood stew, with a pitcher of well brewed beer. It was a good night. Between the last mouthful of fish, turnip, and other delicious ingredients and last mouthful of brew, Titan saw the girl enter the tailors.

She had still seemed lost as she coordinated through the maze that was the marketplace. The girl had seemed nervous as she encountered more and more people, though none seemed overly interested in her. She continually looked over her shoulder and seemed to be looking for someone as if... but no, she couldn't have seen the Gears. This girl was indeed intriguing. He had his drones watch the door as he paid his bill and collected his affairs. The other drinkers gave him a significant berth, not wanting to be accidentally impaled or slashed by one of his impressive weapons.

Before coming in sight of the shop, he made sure his face covering was still in place. He didn't want anyone to know his face in this godforsaken place. Taking time to think of a good cover to be in the shop and his idea in place, Titan proceeded to enter the tailor's as well. Once again, he had to duck to enter the shop and stay slightly slouched. The ceiling in this shop seemed not to have taken people of his stature into account.

@WittyWolf

JG was browsing the interior of the shop as she waited to see if the shopkeeper would show up. She could see rolls of material displayed, but nothing actually tailored into clothing. She was considering stealing some material and simply fashioning it into a loose headscarf rather than a hood when a shadow obscured the door-shaped rectangle of sunlight that had previously shone on the floor. JG tensed up for barely a split-second; only a trained eye would have noticed, before turning her head to look over her shoulder at the figure that was stepping through the entrance. The innocent-looking face she had prepared to mask her dishonest thoughts was momentarily ruined by hesitation and slight shock as she recognised the man who was bowing under the low door frame. She pursed her lips, watching him try to stand as straight as the ceiling would allow him.

"Are you...the shopkeeper?" she asked hesitantly, eyeing him sideways as she mentally explored the possibility of him working in fashion, and in such a small room. As soon as the image formed in her mind she realised how silly a question it was to ask.

"Sorry, of course you're not. I don't think anyone's here..." she continued, still eyeing him suspiciously, although now with the slightest hint of amusement in her eyes.

Despite mentally making light of the situation, JG was very aware of the danger of her situation. There was only one entrance she could see, and he was standing between her and it. In addition, the bulk of his size meant it would be very difficult for her to fight him in such an enclosed environment. She had to be very cautious from here on. While she'd fought and won (though not through honest means) against an opponent of his size, it was a long time ago and she wasn't confident in her skills at the moment, especially unarmed.

Next she started to think about his reasons for being here. He seemed adequately clothed, though I suppose he could want spares. Someone of his size would certainly need to get clothes tailored for him and not bought off the rail. But having encountered him earlier made her all the more suspicious of his intentions. Perhaps she had not been as discreet as she had imagined whilst observing him from afar, and perhaps he had been following her after all. She shuffled on her feet uncomfortably. It was unlikely the shopkeeper would return any time soon, and it had probably been a mistake announcing no one else was there.

"Do you know any other tailors in the market?" she asked, her voice soft-spoken and slightly higher pitched than her casual tone, to appear less threatening. Not that she would look in any way threatening to someone of his size.
