[IC] Silvermoon Pier Alliance: SPA.

[KiraVanhelsing]

Jax listened to Morthos and her eyes widened when he pinched her. She smirked at him, elbowing him lightly before whispering to him, "For someone who claims they are a hermit, your daring is a bit of a surprise."

She gave him a sultry smirk before Roxas spoke up. She turned to look at him with understanding eyes, happy that he didn't challenge her. She knew that if the group was going to have a leader Roxas would obviously be another contender. He was right. He did have the experience and she would not forget it, but she knew in her heart that leading the group was something she was destined for. She gave him a strong smile, hoping that he understood she was being really honest, "I can't promise I won't argue but I promise I will try to take your advice when it's given."

She gave her sister an even warmer smile, feeling like she could take the world for a moment. She dropped her hand after a moment and then placed them on her hips, "Well now that we have officially become a group. We should head over to SPA to collect a mission, after of course going home to get changed. Can't necessarily stop evil in my underwear. I mean I could..it's not preferable though. So how about we meet at the school in about two hours?"

----time skip-----

Jax stood in front of SPA in her usual blue coat, white blouse, black pants and thigh high black boots. She had a brown knapsack hanging over her shoulder filled with some items she would need for there next mission. She twisted around her new scythe, her copper hair loose around her shoulders. The blade glowed a deep red, the blade sharp and twisted. Jax jumped up slamming the sharp pointed blade at the end of the rod into the ground as she rolled around the scythe, like she was a pole dancer. She let go jumping to her feet as she twisted the blade behind her arm then around her neck before flipping it around her other arm and placing it on the ground, "BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER! OH MY GOD MORTHOS YOU ARE THE BEST!" She ran up to him giving him a quick kiss before she eyed Ophelia, "Isn't this fucking cool! Now that we are registered we can head out to Riverwood to take on some werewolves. Who would have thought our first mission would be in our hometown. You know this means we are going to have to visit our parents." She paused looking at Roxas for a second, "So usually Ophelia and I take the train there. Is that alright with you guys?"

[Narukami228]

"That's okay by me." Roxas said as he was looking at Jax' new scythe. It was a spectacular sight and would suck to be on the reviving end of the blade. He looked down at his own daggers and sighed. 'Guess it's time for some new weapons.' He thought to himself then looked back up. "So werewolves are the first mission?" He said mostly for himself and thought about it. Not many chances to kill werewolves these days. One of the only medium class monsters he hadn't killed in the last few years.

Jax said something about their hometown being close to the misson. This should be interesting seeing as he was with Ophelia. Time to meet the parents. Not something Roxas was looking forward to. 'Right so skip the fact that you're a demon prison and you can summon blue fire by the tear of a mask and I think we're good.' It had to happen sometime. Oh well the riverwood was supposed to be a nice place if anything else he could just disapear for a while. Still thinking about it he leaned in to talk to Ophelia. "You think your parents are going to hate me?" He said knowing full well what the answer probably was.

[duskshine749]

Morthos could definitely get used to random kisses from Jax, maybe this relationship but not really thing they had going would work out just fine. "Well, you know, you deserve it, plus you can't be having sub-par equipment if we're going to be fighting together." Morthos said to her, "besides, I never really get to splurge on stuff like that, my magic is mostly based on my own ability and not implement." Morthos was wearing his new standard outfit of jeans, t-shirt, and leather jacket, along with his staff.

Jax said the mission was in their hometown, "cool, train is fine with me, gives us time to see the sights, think about how to take down these werewolves." Thinking about it, Morthos wasn't sure how Jax would introduce him. Boyfriend? Teammate? Whatever, he'd go along with whatever she said. "Oh right, while I was at home I figured out something I've been meaning to work out for a while." He snapped his fingers and spun around, then suddenly he was wearing his cloak, with the potions and everything that he may want to use. "Summoned armour baby, usually for someone wearing heavy plate armour but works just fine for me too." With another snap and spin he was back to his normal clothes, "so when's the next train? And will I have to be the one financing our first adventure until we get our big payday for this one?" He was half joking, but he didn't mind using his money to make sure everything was good for their first few runs as a team.

[Camille Endora]

Ophelia and the others made their way to the train and got on board, finding a private area to sit in and store their things for the trip. Ophelia’s thoughts were mostly to herself. She wasn’t wanting to see her mom at all, and feared what her father would say about Roxas. She looked out the window at the fast moving scenery. “They’re not going to like you. Hell, they barely like me.” She said, her voice tight and emotional. She turned her attention to Roxas, who was sitting beside her, and slid her hand into his tightly. At least she has friends to defend her this time, but she knew it wouldn’t stop the outrage that would happen.

“I’m excited for this mission. These werewolves have been wreaking havoc on the town for a long while now, but have gone undefeated according to the file. Hopefully we can slay these buggers!” She said this time to the group, to try and keep her mind off of everything.

After a few hours they arrived, and she waited for a minute alone with Jax. Once Jax was walking beside her, she grabbed a hold of her sister’s hand. “I’m really not feeling good about this. I don’t want to visit Mom...” she frowned and kept her bag and weapons close, her cloak snug at her throat.

[KiraVanhelsing]

Jax almost always fell asleep on long trips and that is exactly what she did for this train ride. Most of it was leaning against Roxas sleeping like an angel. At least that was her thoughts. She mostly was snoring and moving around too much to make him comfortable. When they arrived she woke up with slightly messy hair and drool dried on her cheek. After cleaning herself off, everyone got off and she and Ophelia went ahead to try to get a carriage ride to the hotel, or at least direction there. As she walked ahead she listened to Ophelia's words and grimaced, "Hey it might not be that bad. They could have become more snuggly over time."

She smiled at Ophelia hoping she would laugh at the joke. When she didn't she continued, "I know sis. Mom is definitely harsh but this time if she pulls that shit you have to stand up to her. I will defend you to the death, you know that, but you have to demand respect if you want it. Although I don't even know why I am giving you advice when you clearly don't take it seriously." She turned to look at her sister making her know full and clear that she knew what her sister and Roxas did last night. She sighed turning to face forward, "That was mean. I'm sorry. I just hope you really thought about what I said before you did it, and you better have been safe."

She reached the destination and arranged for a ride to the hotel through a carriage service. She used some of the solars given to them for the mission and then turned to Ophelia while waving to the boys who were making there way over, "Also are you okay? You don't look so good. Almost a little pale? Well, paler than usual."

She was waiting for an answer then the boys arrived. She smiled at them, "I arranged a carriage for the hotel."

[Narukami228]

Roxas couldn't get any sleep on the train ride. Jax was laying on his shoulder and snoring the whole time. He turned to Ophelia and gave her a non impressed look. "I'm going to have to change by the time we even get there. Your sister is drooling all over me."

Once at the station, Roxas watched as Jax and Ophelia left ahead to get a carage to the hotel. He figured he'd take this time to get his and Ophelia's bags then change into his battle outfit. It was the only thing that didn't have drool on it and he wanted to match. After changing he left to go see Morthos since he figured that the two sisters would want some time to talk for a bit. They haven't had a moment to themselves since the club and he was pretty sure Jax knew what happened. So he walked up to Morthos with both his and Ophelia's bags and waited. "It feels a little odd not having my ask on with this thing." He said to him while they waited. "So is this your first mission Morthos?" He was genuinely curious, but not for the noble reason everyone would think. He was asking because he wanted to know if he was going to have to keep an eye on him or not. Missons weren't something to take lightly.

[duskshine749]

At first Morthos was a little annoyed that Jax was laying on Roxas as she slept instead of him. But after seeing how she slept he was glad that wasn't him. Instead Morthos spent his time on the train reading up on werewolves, he was fairly familiar with most monsters but it could never hurt to refresh his knowledge. Werewolves were weak to silver, so silvered weapons were the best thing to use. They were also quite fearful of fire, how convenient, Morthos thought to himself. Of course there were other ways to kill them, without silver or fire, brute force was always an option. After all, doesn't matter how strong you are, without a head you're done. Unless you're a hydra I suppose, Morthos mused as he put his laptop away and just enjoyed the scenery. He could have swore he saw a unicorn, but he thought they'd all gone extinct centuries ago.

Other than the possible unicorn there was nothing too interesting about the ride and it was nice to get some fresh air when they arrived at their destination. The girls went off on their own, Morthos assumed to find them transportation to where they were staying, and Roxas went off to get changed. Morthos grabbed his bag and Jax's, which was clearly a mistake as he nearly threw his back out thinking Jax's bag would be light. "By the nine hells, what does she have in here, rocks?" Morthos took a minute to perform a ritual, Tensor's Floating Disc, so instead of carrying Jax's bag he basically just pushed it around, much easier.

Roxas came up and started a conversation, asking if this was Morthos' first rodeo. "Nah, I've done missions before," he told Roxas, "nothing with a team, just some solo things. Haven't made my way out this way before though," Riverwood seemed like a quaint little town. They were still along the water so the familiar smell of the ocean was still there, but the town wasn't exactly at sea level, making the ocean seem like it was much further away than it was. They guys caught up with the sisters and Jax announced she had arraigned a carriage to take them in to town. "Hopefully that works out okay," Morthos said, "is this like a horse drawn carriage? Because sometimes animals don't take kindly to me. Also, unrelated, what in the holy name of the gods did you pack? Your bag weighs a ton, it was easier for me to do a ritual than carry it."

[Camille Endora]

"I know sis. Mom is definitely harsh but this time if she pulls that shit you have to stand up to her. I will defend you to the death, you know that, but you have to demand respect if you want it. Although I don't even know why I am giving you advice when you clearly don't take it seriously." Jax spoke firmly to Ophelia, sounding annoyed. She obviously knew that her and Roxas had sex, and Ophelia's eyes lowered to the ground. She thought hard about what Jax had said about standing up to their mother, she waited because Jax continued. "That was mean. I'm sorry. I just hope you really thought about what I said before you did it, and you better have been safe. Also are you okay? You don't look so good. Almost a little pale? Well, paler than usual."

"I know I need to stand up to her. She hates me Jax, you know that. I'm not the daughter she wanted at all. At least you have magic abilities. But I'll try my best to stand up to her. Maybe Roxas being there will help me..." she said, avoiding the topic of sex all together. She really didn't want to get into it, but also knew Jax would pester her, "I love him Jax. That's what's important. And to be perfectly honest, no I don't feel well. I hadn't had the chance to tell you yet, and I still don't know when a good time would be, so I guess now is fine since we will be busy with this mission. But after my fight, I fell unconscious. And you know I haven't slept or been knocked out since I was changed. Either way, when I woke up at home, Roxas was there and I tried talking to him, but he couldn't hear me... And Jax... My soul wasn't in my body... I don't know what happened. But I could see a dark figure around Roxas, and one in the corner of my eye. I managed to get myself back, and wake myself up. But it scared the hell out of me. And after that, there were words on the mirror in the bathroom in Latin or something. But I ignored it because you weren't home, and I was scared..."

Her words spilled out quickly, in a low whisper because she could see in the distance the boys getting closer. She hoped Jax would have an answer as to what might be going on. Nothing really weird had happened since then though, so Ophelia figured everything was probably fine. Eventually the boys arrived and shortly after, so did the carriage that Jax had ordered.

[KiraVanhelsing]

Jax listened to Ophelia quietly, her expression immediately turning serious. Fear crept up her spine as she heard about the outer body experience and the Latin in the bathroom. Clear signs of a demonic presence. The only thing she didn't know is if it had attached itself or was just hanging out waiting for an opportunity. She looked at Ophelia with new eyes trying to see something hidden behind her obvious appearance. Her eyes turned green looking closely to see any changes but nothing was apparent, her soul appearing pure but Jax knew that strong demons could hide quite well. She reached out taking her sisters hand and gave her a confident smile, "I am not sensing anything right now but I will take a better look later when we get to the hotel. Let's keep this between us though for a bit, until I at least know what we are dealing with. If it is something bad we will figure it out together.I won't let anyone or anything hurt you."

She looked past Ophelia, making sure that if something was hiding there it should be afraid. When the boys came over she looked them over evenly and told them about the carriage. She saw Roxas' new outfit and laughed, "Nice look! Sorry for the drool. Travelling always makes me sleepy!" She then turned to Morthos and heard his worries about the animals. She hoped it wouldn't be too big a problem before he started to complain about her bag. She laughed, "It's not THAT much. Just some clothes, shoes, my toiletries, and some 50-pound weights I brought with me for training. Just because I am on a mission doesn't mean I don't train. You're lucky I could have brought my 75 pounders but I wanted to cheat a bit because it's like a vacation."

After a while, the carriage drove up and they all hoped in heading to the hotel. Jax headed inside walking over to the reception desk and showed the receptionist her SPA tattoo and then set up the rooms. She turned back to the group with an annoyed expression, "So the guild only booked two rooms. Guys take one and girls take one?"

Jax crossed her arms, making damn sure that no funny business would happen on her watch. Plus sleeping in the same room as Morthos would be a temptation she honestly didn't need right now.

[Narukami228]

Roxas glared at Jax when she commented on his clothes, but decided to drop it since it was pointless to argue. He only nodded his head when she brought up the hotel room, not really happy about it, but oh well. "Okay but I'm taking the bed closest to the window." He said lightly and hopped into the carrage. The ride was a little bumpy, but it didn't really affect him that much. There was way to much on his mind right now as this was his first mission in a while with a party. He was also concered about Ifrit trying to work his way out again or at least getting back in his head again. Not something he wanted to deal with right now.

Once they made it to the hotel, Roxas gave Ophelia a kiss and walked up to the room. He wanted to get his clothes washed and really wanted a shower. He could think better when the water was beating down on him. "What am I doing here?" He said gently to himself as he turned the water on. Morthos wasn't there yet so he ut on some music and got in. The water was hot yet felt great. "I love her, but I'm not ready to meet the parents. We've only been together for a few days. They are going to hate my guts. And apparently the mother hates Ophelia too." He talked aloud jumping out and turning the light off so it was pitch black in the room. "Okay Ifrit this is the only time I'm going to ask you for help. What do you think I should do and I'm asking seriously." He let him mind go blank for a second and Ifrit came in. "Well since we're having a heart to heart I guess I can be nice for now. What I think you should do is suck it up and be as nice as you can. You love the girl right? The stand up for her and protect her. They don't like her so expect there to be an argument. If it gets out of hand then you know where to find me." Ifrit left his mind and went without a fight. That surprised Roxas though. Normally he would fight and argue. Guess he wasn't a total dick. Roxas got back into the shower and let the water beat down on him in darkness. The music playing lightly in the background.

[duskshine749]

Morthos just scoffed and made no comment on the weights, instead just making his way in to the carriage. Lucky for him the horses only seemed slightly wary and were fine once he was out of their sight. They got to the hotel and Jax said there was only two rooms, Morthos thought the obvious thing would be to let the couple stay together. Clearly she had some other plans, and as Roxas made his way upstairs Morthos said to Jax, "what, don't wanna room with me? That hurts Jax, really, I thought we had something," he was being overly dramatic and was mostly joking, but he did wish he was sharing a room with Jax rather than Roxas.

"Anyways, after Roxas gets himself cleaned up what should we do? It's only mid afternoon, we have the rest of the day ahead of us." Food would probably be Morthos' first choice, he was starting to get hungry. Obviously they'd have to see the girls' parents, but he wasn't sure when that would be. He supposed it probably depended on how long this werewolf thing took to solve.

[Camille Endora]

"Anyways, after Roxas gets himself cleaned up what should we do? It's only mid afternoon, we have the rest of the day ahead of us," Morthos said, which was a good point. It was only lunch time technically, they'd need to get more information about the mission. Things like where specifically the werewolves were, if there was a pattern with their killings, ect. Ophelia decided though that they would all figure that stuff out later. "Maybe we can grab some lunch and talk about the plan of action while you guys eat?" Ophelia suggested. She didn't wait though for a response right away from Morthos. Instead Ophelia reached out towards Jax's bag and her own as well, taking them easily. She smirked slightly at Morthos and then couldn't help but laugh. "Do you even lift?" A grin spread across her face, and she disappeared into the room her and Jax would be sharing.

The room was actually fairly nice looking compared to how much older the town was. They weren't quite caught up yet with the city. She placed the bags on either of the beds and opened hers up. She had lots of fighting outfits, a couple of nice ones, and a few casual outfits. She didn't pack any shoes, like usual though. She was still wearing Roxas's shirt and the shorts. She decided to change into something casual. She sat down the bed and waited quietly for Jax.

[KiraVanhelsing]

Jax laughed at Morthos' teasing wine, "Oh sugar, I'm sure Roxas is quite the snuggler." She then turned to Ophelia smiling widely at her suggestion of food, "Oh definitely. I am starving! Also thanks sis for grabbing my bag. I will see ya in a few."

She watched as Ophelia walked off after insinuating that Morthos doesn't lift. She giggled, walking over to Morthos and wrapping her arms around his neck, when they were alone, "Don't be too bummed we aren't sharing a room. Ophelia has a hard time with our parents so I have to play the sister card this time. Besides, you and Roxas should spend some more time together. He seems like he's alone quite a bit of the time."

She moved to her toes bumping her nose against Morthos, "Just like someone I know." She leaned forward kissing him roughly, her head moving slightly to the left to press harder against him. She moaned slightly before she pulled back out of breath, "Also teasing you is just too damn fun! Don't hug your pillow to tight sparky. See ya in a bit."

She let go of him walking to her room where she saw Ophelia waiting on the bed. She gave her a wink then walked over to her bag taking out her weights and clothes. She spoke evenly as she worked, "Continuing our earlier discussion, I will take a look at what's haunting you later tonight when the boys are asleep. Also, I will call Mom and plan a dinner or something for tomorrow. Might as well get it out of the way early." She saw her sister's face dim and placed her hands on her hips, "I know, but Dad will be excited to see us. You know he can't get enough of you so don't be too perturbed. I will do my best to keep mom busy with me..promise."

When everything was done she gave her sister a hug then headed back out towards the front of the hotel, walking over to a few locals and starting a conversation. She beamed trying to get a word on both the werewolf situation and where there were some good eats. When she moved back to Ophelia she gave a smirk, "They say there's a new seafood restaurant on the pier but I think we should go to Antony's Pasta Bar. They have the best Tiramisu and gelato!"

Jax was already drooling at the mouth for some sweets.

[duskshine749]

"Oh I know Roxas and I are both loners, I bet we could share a house and never see each other, and it'd be beautiful," he leaned in as she kissed him, and he heard the moan she let out. He wondered if she kissed all the other guys like that? It seemed a bit more intense than just a flirty kiss between friends with benefits. "Ya, see you," he said, slightly winded himself.

He headed up to his room and found Roxas didn't have the lights on. There was some music playing and...was Roxas talking to someone? He couldn't really make out what was being said but that was definitely Roxas talking. Morthos turned on a light and knocked on the door, "hey Roxas, you okay in there? We're probably gonna go grab lunch once you're out so don't be too long." Morthos wouldn't bring up the talking unless he did. He was sure it was nothing, sometimes Morthos talked to himself when he was thinking about something, Roxas was probably just doing the same thing.

Morthos took his bag and threw it on the bed further from the window and closer to the door, sitting down the bed seemed comfy enough. At least it wasn't as stiff as a board. He would just hang out in the room until Roxas was done, then they could eat and possibly get to work on the werewolf problem.

[Narukami228]

Roxas heard the door open from the other room right as he was finished talking to Ifrit. It was Morthos coming in and he turned on the lights out in the main room. 'Damn it.' He thought to himself, knowing he woud have to get out soon. Ever since he got into this, he almost never had a second to himself. It was fine and all, but he could only take so much of Jax and Morthos', whatever they wanted to call it. It was tiring when they were together. Morthos knocked on the door and told Roxas the plan. He wasn't really hungry, but if they were going over the plan and finding Intel the it was probably a good idea for him to go. "Yeah I'll be out in a bit. Just getting cleaned up and whatnot." He got out of the shower and placed a towel under the door to prevent any light bleeding in.

After he was all clean and felt a bit more relaxed, Roxas got out of the shower and got dressed. Luckily he had some extra clothes and a new outfit that he didn't want to wear until later on. Seeing as it was the only clean outfit he had right now there was no choice but the wear it. Better than having on the battle garb all day. Didn't feel right without the mask. So he cleaned off the water and started to get dressed. As he was putting everything on he looked at himself in the mirror and smiled. "Man do I look hot in this one. Ophelia will love it." He kept smiling and put his glasses on. "Prick." Ifrit said in the back of his head, smirking a bit. "Oh shut up." Roxas said a bit louder than he wanted as he was walking out of the bathroom door. Morthos seemed to be looking at him since he probably heard Roxas. Trying to dodge it all together, Roxas smiled. "How do you like the new get up?" He said as he turned around a bit so Morthos could get every angle. "I'm ready to go if you are. I'm assuming we are meeting the girls in the lobby? If so I'm heading down there now." Roxas grabbed the things he needed for the day and headed down to the lobby. Some of the women that he passed gave him some looks while he was walking down. All he did was smile and greet them. Ophelia would probably get pretty mad if she was here. Figuring she would be protective of him. The thought of that made Roxas laugh a bit as he finally made it to the lobby. He found a nice chair and waited.

It didn't seem to take to long as both Ophelia and Jax came down. Jax was talking to a few of the locals, which was probably good. Roxas decided to wait a bit before going over to talk to them. They needed some time alone too more than likly. Once a few minutes passed, Roxas got up and fixed his front, then walked over to the girls. "Hey girls how are you?" He said mostly for Ophelia, but didn't want to be rude to Jax. He smiled and waited, hoping they would comment on his new outfit. It wasn't every day that he had something completely new. All the other clothes he had were the same with just a slightly different color to the blazers and plaid pants. "Anything on the werewolf's yet?"

[Camille Endora]

"Continuing our earlier discussion, I will take a look at what's haunting you later tonight when the boys are asleep. Also, I will call Mom and plan a dinner or something for tomorrow. Might as well get it out of the way early." Ophelia stared at Jax silently for a moment before Jax continued. "I know, but Dad will be excited to see us. You know he can't get enough of you so don't be too perturbed. I will do my best to keep mom busy with me..promise." She thought about this for a couple moments before responding, her voice even. "Okay. You're probably right. I know he probably misses us. I trust you. I can send Dad a text asking if we can come over tomorrow if you like."

Finally they walked toward the lobby of the hotel, and Jax began going on about where they should all go for food. It had been a really long time since they had been back here, so Ophelia was sure that this had changed and expanded in the time away. "They say there's a new seafood restaurant on the pier but I think we should go to Antony's Pasta Bar. They have the best Tiramisu and gelato!" Ophelia couldn't help but laugh. Jax always talked like Ophelia still ate normal human food even though it had been years. "Sure, we can go to Antony's if you like. I'm sure the guys will enjoy it!" As she spoke she saw Roxas and Morthos walking towards them. Roxas was wearing something she hadn't seen before, and he seemed to be greeting women who looked at him. Ophelia's eyebrow raised slightly, wondering when he got the outfit. When he approached he seemed to just have finished laughing and he greeted them. "Hey girls how are you? Anything on the werewolves yet?"

Ophelia looked at him gently and shook her head, "Nothing that we know of really yet. But we are going to go to Antony's pasta bar for food, hopefully that's alright with you two?" she asked the boys. While she waited for the three to agree on the place to eat, Ophelia reached and took out her phone. Luckily her Dad had a cell since the girls lived elsewhere. "Hey Dad. Jax and I are in town on a mission with our group... Can we come over tomorrow for dinner?" Quickly she received a response with a simple "Sure sweets, 5:30pm."

[KiraVanhelsing]

Jax watched as Roxas entered the room with some new clothes. He really wasn't that bad looking, but as soon as Morthos came in behind him her face lit up. She watched as the girls in the lobby went from swooning to taking a step back from Morthos. He probably gets that all the time. She waved over at them speaking evenly as they walked over, "Hey guys! Nice duds Roxas. Also Ophelia's right. From what I've heard from those locals is that the werewolves have been an issue for awhile now, mostly attacking livestock from small farms but a couple of hunters were found murdered in the woods on an annual hunting trip about three weeks ago so the townspeople decided to take their funds and hire SPA to find the culprits. The locals have no idea if it's a small pack or a large one but they definitely know there is more then one due to the howls."

She watched Ophelia as she pulled out her phone texting their father, "I also found out that the gelato is banging at Antony's. Go there grub up, work out a plan than probably split up so we can cover more ground."

When everyone decided on a place to go they headed over to the restaurant finding a small booth in the corner. Jax ordered a big plate of fettucini alfredo, tiramisu and three bowls of gelato each a different flavour. When she finished she gave a slight hiccup, her eyes glazed over slightly due to her feast, "Oh damn that was good! Shit!"

When everyone seemed full, or as full as they can be Jax spoke up, "Okay, now that everyone seems fairly full, I say we split up and try to get more information. The main bits we need are how many of these bastards are there, who is the alpha and beta and where are there hunting grounds. From what I vaguely remember about werewolves they usually hunt in packs and stay within the location. I was thinking perhaps Morthos and I take the town, and Ophelia and Roxas take the woods. Ophelia knows the woods like the back of her hand and I assume seeming as that is how you guys both met Roxas know's how to track too."

Jax turned to Morthos, "I figured we could talk to the butchers, the Hunting Legion, and check out the library to perhaps see what we can find out about what's been happening in the area and who potential suspects may be. " She leaned forward licking one of the spoons from her empty gelato cup, "Of course, we have to be safe and we cut the search off at around 10 when the moon starts to come up, meeting back at the hotel by that time to share what we've found. Also no taking on the pack by yourselves. If you need help text one of us so that we can get there. I know you both are strong but so are werewolves and if it is a large pack not even Ophelia can take them all out."

She let out a breath and then sipped her water, "Everyone cool with the plan or does anyone have suggestions?"

Jax knew she was taking on a leadership role within the group and she hoped she was starting it off right by being fair. She wasn't probably the most knowledgeable about werewolves but she had a general understanding of them, especially having Ophelia and her mother as vampires. As per usual, she was worried she was being too bossy or controlling, but her confidence overshone that. She knew that the plan was a good one and she hoped that the others would be on board with it.

[duskshine749]

"Ya, nice look man," Morthos said to Roxas, once again ignoring the fact that he was talking to himself. Before he found his god Morthos used to hear the voice of the evil god Asmodeus, maybe Roxas had a similar problem. They headed down to the lobby and while the girls were giving Roxas googly eyes they were giving Morthos the stink eye. He was used to it, people generally didn't like looking at him, whatever. He had at least one girl who didn't mind looking at him, and he gave Jax a smile as they met up in the lobby.

He agreed that the food sounded good and once they were all done he was glad Jax knew the best place to eat, as she should since she grew up here. Jax laid out her plan for them splitting up, this time the couples would be teaming up, Roxas and Ophelia in the woods looking for tracks and whatnot, Morthos and Jax in town talking to people. While he wasn't too keen on that particular activity he was happy to do it if it was with Jax. "That sounds like a plan, you know I love the library, I'll try not to be too weird while you work your magic talking to the townsfolk."

Roxas nodded and listened to Jax as she laid out the plan after they ate. He was excited to get back to doing missions and even more excited to do it with Ophelia. "Sounds good to me. I don't mind taking the woods." He looked over at Ophelia and smiled. It was going to be interesting working with other people again so he was going to have to learn to cooperate with the others. After he finished eating he got up and looked over everyone. "Alright lets break then." He said with confidence eager to get going. He didn't really know much about this place so he figured for now he would lay low and follow Ophelia and Jax's lead. The only thing that bugged him was that they would have to cut off the search at 10. That would have been the best time to go though. Catch them in the act and follow them back to the Alpha.

It didn't matter much. If he wanted to, Roxas would go out and check for himself. Stealth was his middle name and all.

Ophelia sat quietly at the table while the others ate, and Jax talked about the plan of action. Ophelia and Roxas would go to the woods, and Jax and Morthos to the city and shops. Ophelia grew a little less uncomfortable at the thought of taking the woods. It was where she spent hours of her time growing up before her and Jax left to attend SPA. She smiled very faintly, knowing Jax was 100 percent serious about cutting the search off at 10pm. It wasn't worth risking their lives to stay out any later. She knew first hand as it was what a werewolf was capable of. She glanced around the table, noticing the boys were paying pretty close attention, and once they agreed, she spoke last. "That plan sounds perfect, Jax. Hopefully we can all gather some information. I'll make sure we will be back at the hotel by 10. Don't worry." she looked at Jax, the seriousness in her tone apparent.

Ophelia stood up after Roxas did, and she made sure the bill for their meals was covered. She left a tip, and then headed outside. They had roughly four hours or so to gather info, so she knew she would need to make the best of the time. Luckily she moved quickly, but she would have to keep at a decent pace to allow Roxas to keep up. She figured first they would start on the outskirts in the South. The forest there was dense and she knew many types of mythics and creatures liked to make their homes nearby. "We will check the South forests first," Ophelia said, her tone still remaining fairly serious. She was extremely focused, and even though she could feel the push and pull of the bond between herself and Roxas, she was much less relaxed than normal. Missions had a tendency to do that to her, as if she couldn't get more serious as it was. She sent a quick text to Jax so she would know where they were, just in case. "South forests." She then turned her phone on vibrate so if anything was nearby that didn't want them around, the sound of a message or phone call wouldn't attract attention.

Finally they made it to the forests edge, and Ophelia stopped and looked around quietly. Her eyes skimmed along every tree she could see, from the forest floor to the foliage, and then breathed in deeply through her nose twice. There was often a mixture of scents in any given area, but since she knew what to look for, it should be fairly easy to pick out the right scent. Not only that, a werewolf was her natural enemy.
