Kyoto was already within the city moving about the streets looking for the tavern known as The Raven. He eventually stopped a guard and asked him for directions. "Do you know where The Raven is?" He said as he showed him the letter which held the seal of the church. The guard nodded and pointed, "Take a left on that road there and then a right at the first street. The third building down should be the tavern." He answered. Kyoto nodded stuffing the letter into its place between his chest and his armor. He then continued on walking following the guards directions to the letter. He passed many shops and homes on his way there. He did not take time to be caught up in the architecture like most newcomers to the city. He did not come here for that, he was summoned for some mission and he would take up that one mission. 500,000 gold total... for that price this mission must be dangerous. The kind of danger Kyoto could go for. Once he spotted the tavern sign which had a raven on it over compassing a moon. He smiled and patted the side of his sword hidden inside its scabbard. "Well Icingdeath looks like we might get to go on yet another death defying mission, with the odds neatly stacked against us." He said mainly to his sword. He then stepped forward his wooden sandals clacking on the cobble stone street. He could tell that the people saw him as a oddity seeing as his armor and arsenal was something they likely never seen before. Plus his eyes were different as well, plus he just talked to his sword so they probably figured him insane too. He chuckled a little at that thought as he entered the tavern. He looked about the room trying to find any resemblance of a client. He then looked to his side to one of the gnoll guards. He pulled his letter out and before he could say anything the thing pointed to the table he was looking for. What he saw was a dark skinned, pointy ears human looking female with silver hair , a giant walking monitor lizard looking thing, and two regular humans. One encased in heavy steel armor and one in dark robes. The robed man must be the client and the other three other mercenaries such as himself. He gave the gnoll a thumbs up and walked on over and found a seat tossing his letter onto the table and gave a respectful nod to each of the people there. "My name is Kyoto Yamisaki, you sent for me.." He said ---------------- Ryoko was hopping from tree branch to tree branch using her weight to help her fly for only a couple seconds. She eventually stopped and pushed away the branches in front of her getting a great few of the main and walls of the city known as Krystallem. The gems sparkling from its wall gave it a beauty she never seen before. With that she pulled back her cowl and her face mask to breathe in the air around her. She smiled and took a deep breathe and let it out. "I made it,... the people who live in here must be wealthy. Perhaps even after this mission I could stick around and bring a wagon full of gold to my clan." She said as she pressed her thumb against the side of her nose. She decided to drop down from the tree landing into a kneeling position. She then used the strength of her legs to bring her up full height. She saw the unusually looking humans though. They had super long ears and one even had pink hair. The people in this country sure are a odd sort. She then began to walk forward and as she reached the gate she saw two guards standing by it. She then moved to one and bowed to him with her hands pressed up against each other. "Greetings,... by chance do you know where the Raven is? I got a letter from some thing called a church and a mages guild and they told me to go there." She explained as she removed the letter from underneath her coverings and showed it to him. He looked at it for a second and gave her the directions to the tavern. She nodded and bowed again. "Thank you." She said smiling and headed in the direction she was pointed. Not knowing that the elves were likely heading to the same place she moved past them and as she did she decided to take a side glance at them and noticed they had olive like eyes too. Do they come from her country?... no they couldn't have I would have known what they were if they had. She concluded and then continued on. When she reached the tavern she opened it's door and noticed a samurai looking fellow and a table full of people and she rose a brow. "I am to be working with people?... that means the pay will be split then huh?" She sighed and felt a little disappointed. Well there was five of them, including her that made six people. In other words the whole amount may be way less then 500,000 gold. Well too late to turn back now. She moved over to the table and was trying to figure out who the leader was. The man in the robes seemed to be the one more likely hiring them. She stood closest to him and removed her letter from her person and placed it on the table close to him. "Ryoko Tomai, representing the clan of the great dragon serpent Emolgai." She said. "I take it I wont be doing this mission alone?" She asked wanting it clarified. "...also are you expecting more?" ----------------------------------------------------- Kyoko Senpachi was already in the city as well and already learned of the tavern's location. Problem was he felt himself a little distracted by a merchant with a bunch of rugs and assorted cloth. He was examining them one by one and he sighed. "Perhaps once the mission is over I can do some buying,... all I got is yen and I doubt you accept that kind of payment..." He said and he did not have to look to the merchant to know he was confirming his words with a gesture of his head. "Well when I do get some of this country's currency expect to see me coming around here. You have some fine works here. Do you weave any of these yourself?" He asked. "... No, a lady from my village does and I take them as well as a few other things to this here city and set up a stall. I keep about a percentage of the coin while she and the others get the rest." He answered and Kyoko nodded and rubbed the top of his bold head rolling up one piece back up and placing it back on the rack. "Well see you some other time then." Kyoko responded and left the merchant to go to the tavern.
