[IC] The Ashe City Mysteries (REBOOTED Supernatural Mystery RP) OPEN

[NekoJordan]

Chapter 1: A Summer to Remember

Welcome to Ashe City a city that may seem normal at first glance. With people going from place to place, your usual crimes going on everyday, and maybe that old lady down the street is yelling at her cat again. However a closer look at this city reveals something interesting, the supernatural. Yes, this city holds not only humans but supernatural creatures as well. Some of these creatures coexist and live in peace with the humans. However some creatures terrorize and commit crimes. A Detective Agency was founded in order to capture these criminals this is the Ashe City Detective Agency, Scarlet Ashe.

June 5th, 2020

A couple months after the event with the terrorist group known as Shadow Gear the people of Ashe City lived in peace. Natasha had run the agency while Leon was on leave. 2 months ago Leon and his fiancee Suzume had officially gotten married. They went on their honeymoon in England. Now the time is present day and some new beings are coming to the city.

-At Scarlet Ashe-

At the agency people are running around making sure the place is clean and in order before Leon's return. Natasha was leading some people around who were carrying lots of paperwork and boxes. "Come on hurry hurry! He'll be back soon! We've got only 10 minutes left before he arrives!" Natasha called as she was panicking quite a bit. "You need to relax" Said Coco who was hanging from the beams of the building. "Yeah you should chill!" said Lizzie who hopped off from Coco's shoulder. "W-well maybe you s-should chill!" Natasha said nervously.

Nyra placed a hand on Natasha's shoulder and smiled at her. "You have done great. Everything will be fine." She looked at the two recruits. "They are right, though. You need to relax some."

[Slendy]

Emmett walked out of his office scratching his head. "I swear if I hear one more loud noise from you new recruits you're going bye bye!" He shouted bending down so his head wouldn't it his office door.

[LizLegend]

Kita kicked herself off from the desk in her office while sitting on her swivel chair making herself roll out to the others; she had the typical tired/bored look on her face with half-open, maybe expressionless blue eyes, "If this place happens to not be cleaned, somehow, it's not like he's gonna fire us or anything. So does it really...oh who am I kidding it would still matter even if it didn't wouldn't it..." Kita put a hand to her head with closed eyes near her last phrase

[2b3heart]

Khala looked up through a grate. It probably was on a street or sidewalk, because she could see daylight coming through. She watched as people walked over it, not even noticing she was underneath them. She preferred it that way. Khala slithered past the grate. The Light hurt her eyes anyways. What should she eat tonight? She was starving, so it is time to lure someone down to her level.

[MonsieurShade]

From the deck of his downtown apartment Dimitri glared down onto the city below him with distain. Five months, that's how long it had been since he'd lost his sense of self control, five months since he'd attempted a rampage in the midst of a terrorist attack, and above all, five months since he'd met and traded blows with two of the A.C.D.A.'s correctional officers. The wendigo gripped the mimosa in his left hand almost hard enough to shatter the glass as he absent mindedly traced his right hand over a few scars on his neck, feeling the difference between the smooth normal skin and the healed over burn marks as if to remind himself of what had happened. The battle had been brief, and while he managed to avoid capture, it certainly hadn't gone in his favor thanks to the two to one odds.

Dimitri sneered and gulped down his drink, briefly enjoying the taste of champagne and orange juice mixing on his tongue before he wiped his mouth off on his arm. Things weren't exactly going as well as he'd hoped; he'd lost the fight and had even been forced to change his usual hunting grounds due to a few less than efficient hunts, but there were a few silver linings to this. One thing was that his human persona was still unknown, the second was that he still had a place of employ, and the third was that the fight had cleared his mind enough for him to focus and put to use the skill he'd honed over the years, not to mention begin planning his payback for the wounds inflicted on him. The wendigo stared quietly at the city for a few moments more before he slipped back into his apartment to begin plotting, a grin that was just a bit too wide and toothy to be considered human worming its way onto his face as he plotted how he'd go about toying with the A.C.D.A.. After all, what good was revenge if one couldn't have fun exacting it?

[2b3heart]

Khala slithered smoothly through the pipes, trying to find a place to set up for her hunt. She had to be smart and stay away from her lair. She had heard about these "agents" that to protect people. Khala didn't want to be stopped. She wanted to live her life and people just happen to be her diet. Sure, she sometimes settles for a rat or a dog, but people were different. They screamed, they talked, they struggled. it was much more fun. People bring a little bit of light into Khala's dark world.
Khala crawled up through a broken grate into a dark alley. She flicked her tongue, thinking. Looking up, she spotted an open window. Someone could be living there. She climbed up the side of the wall, looking to make sure no one was around, and slipped through the window. It was, what she thought, a bathroom. Quickly, Khala coiled herself up in the bathtub, covering herself with the curtain. Shortly after, she heard the door open, then quietly close. Khala smirked and began her song. It was a sweet melody and she could now safely come out of her hiding spot. Her victim was a young girl who looked around 17. She stood still, in a trance from Khala's voice. Khala wrapped herself around the girl and slithered out through the window and back underground.

As Emmett walked back to his office his phone buzzed. His phone has been pretty active this week and it wasn't his none existing girl friend or wife worrying about him. It was the police. Emmett closed his office door and sat at his desk listening to what the cops had to say. The call needed and Emmett stood from his chair exiting his ofofe once again although this time he was wearing his suit. "There's been another suspicious disappearance give Leon my regards." Emmett said leaving the building and heading to his midnight black smart car.

Emmett drove to the home of the teenager who disappeared not to long ago. Usually the regular authorities would handle minor things like kidnappings but the kidnappings that's been happening the past weeks hadn't been normal. The police were having a serious hard time finding traces of the kidnapper at the scenes of the crimes. He arrived at the home instantly being surrounded by cops, cameras and some frightened locals. Emmett ignored most of then since he know why he was called. Has the same job like he did at every other crime scene. Use his abilities to uncover what the human eye can't.

Emmett entered the house in question and searched top to bottom. The cops told him that the last place the kidnapped teen's parents remembered her going was to the bathroom. Emmett closed the blinds and closed the bathroom door. He turned the lights off looking around the dark room.

His eyes began glow a bright purple as the foot prints in the bathroom were now visible to him. "What the hell!" Emmett shouted a bit. There were only on set of foot prints in the bathroom....but that isn't what got Emmett so freaked. The bathtub was decorated with what looked like the tracks of a over sized snake. The tracks led to outside which wouldn't be much help since Emmett's little ability only works in the dark

"This case is closed for now!" Emmett said exiting the building. The surrounding citizens weren't to happy to hear what he said but there wasn't much Emmett could do at the moment. If it was night time when the kodnapping took place then tracking down the suspect would of been much easier for him. Emmett hoped back into his car and drove back to head quarters keeping the disappearance of the teenage girl on his mind.

[2b3heart]

Khala had arrived back at her home. It was dark and damp, but she liked it that way. No one has ever been here ever since she found this place. Still, she blocked off the upstairs doors so no one could come in. Khala fell silent and watched her dinner wake from her trance. The girl began to look panicked and tried to escape from Khala's grip, but Khala only tightened herself around her. The girl screamed and only squirmed harder. Khala smiled. "Girl, it is no use. No one can hear you and no one can find you." She thought about how she should kill the girl, painfully or painlessly. Khala was in a good mood so she applied more pressure around the girl until she passed out. It wasn't the funnest way, but a meal is a meal. It was time to eat.

Nyra waited for Emmett to come back. His sudden leave worried her that there was trouble in the city. She needed to get all information into the system. Nyra was still fairly new and she knew he doesn't really care for recruits, but it won't stop her from talking to him.

[MonsieurShade]

"Alright, what kind of car is it, and what's been going on?" Dimitri grunted into his phone as he swiveled around in his computer chair. It seemed as though even on his off days there was no respite from his job, nor from his annoying coworkers. On the other end of the line the sound of rustling papers could be heard as his coworker Shannon searched through a few files for a car that was causing her a bit of trouble at the shop, "Looks like we got a honda accord here. Apparently it hasn't been running too good, the guy had to get it towed here, said it was making a godawful rattling noise. Nothing really seems wrong, pretty weird considering the records say that this car just came in three days ago. Timing chain replacement.".

Dimitri mulled this over as he idly plucked a piece of beef jerky out of the bag on his computer desk and popped it into his mouth, years of deconstructing and occasionally cannibalizing the parts of vehicles from past victims when he'd lived with his family had made Dimitri extremely knowledgable when it came to working with cars, and while it was a boon for his job, it was nothing but a source of annoyance on his off days when someone needed to know something.

"Wait, what model did you shay it whash again?" The wendigo garbled from around his jerky, "Ugh, why do you talk with your mouth full man? Do you ever stop eating, Cap'n Crunch? Like, ever?" "You want my help or not?". Shannon gave an audible and heavily exaggerated sigh that made Dimitri's mouth curl into a snarl, "An '01 from the looks of things, why?". Though the action was lost due to Shannon not being there to see it, Dimitri pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head, "Pre '03 accords use timing belts not timing chains." "Oh. OH. Fuck how did I miss that?" "Who the hell did you have work on the car?" "That new guy, Jason.". Dimitri pinched the bridge of his nose even harder. He despised all of his coworkers, but Jason was in a league of his own, having cemented his place at the top of Dimitri's "coworkers to murder" list by taking the height jokes and pranks a bit further than Dimitri was willing to tolerate. Needless to say, when Dimitri finally did snap and go about killing everyone at the autoshop, Jason's death would be particularly gruesome. "I'm going to hang up now. I'm going to hang up before I come beat Jason to death with a vehicle maintenance manual." "Yeesh, grumpy. Any way thanks for the he-" *beep*. Dimitri slowly set his phone down and stared out of the window, his irises slowly shifting from blue to a dark red color. He'd taken this day off for a reason: He needed to hunt, and hunt he would. The wendigo wordlessly got out of his seat and went into his bedroom to prepare.

[Slendy]

Before he headed back to the HQ he took a pit stop at a gas station and bout a couple of six back of beers. This was a party after all and what is a party with out a couple of boozes. Emmett knows there are a couple of workers at the agency that wasn't old enough to drink but he's positive they know right from wrong. Even if they did drink Emmett would look the other way or he might just even support the under age drinkers actions.

As Emmett thought of what the welcome back party will be like he drove to HQ. He's sure Leon wouldn't mind him drinking it was a party celebrating his return after all. Emmett parked his car and entered the HQ holding the two six pack of beers into the air. "Guess who's back!!!" He happily shouted placing the drinks down on a table. For now he'll have to hold off on what happened to the teenage girl and enjoy the welcoming party. "I'll be in my office tell me when the big guy get here." Emmett said grabbing a beer and walking into his office plopping down into his chair. He left his office door open so he could hear someone signal him of Leon's arrival.

[2b3heart]

Nyra noticed Emmett's return. She rolled her eyes as she saw the beer. Why was he always drinking? She shook off the thought and walked up to the doorway to his office, knocking on the open door. "Um, Emmett? I was wondering if I could get some information from the case you just went to. I have to put them in the records." Nyra leaned against the door. "I know it is a party, but I just want to get it and be done before hand. Before you forget to."

[NekoJordan]

Natasha, Lizzie, and Coco were finishing the final touches to the party as Minato came out from his room. "Good morning you guys." Minato said as he yawned. "It's noon Minatchi, Hurry up and wake up Leon will be here any minute!" Lizzie said as she zoomed around everywhere. "Sorry, I'm still not used to waking up so early." Minato said. the door to the agency began to open as the door hit the bell above it. "Hey guys I'm back!" Leon called out as Natasha ran up and hugged him "Welcome back Leon!" she said as she noticed Suzume behind him. "Leon, Who's this?" Suzume asked "Oh that's right you two haven't officially met. Honey this is my older sister, Natasha. Natasha this is Suzume my wife." Leon said introducing the two. "It's a pleasure to meet you Suzume, my little brother doesn't shut up about how happy he is that he met you." Natasha said as she shook Suzume's hand. "It's my pleasure to meet my sister-in-law." Suzume said as Leon wrapped his arm around her waist. "The cat girl over there is Coco, the boy drinking coffee is Minato, and the adorable one with the top hat is Lizzie, you've met her already." Leon said "The lazy looking one over there is Kita, she's a demon. The girl with the pointy ears is Nyra, she's a dragon." Leon said as he looked around and didn't see Emmett. "Hey Emmett get out here! Emmett is an enderman so be prepared to see a really tall guy in all black." Leon added.

[Slendy]

Emmett laughed. "I won't forget but I guess it is best if I did tell you." He pulled up to his desk and pointed to the seat that faced his desk. "Sit it's a lot I have to tell you about this c-" He was interrupted by a familiar voice. "....really....if that's Leon I swear every recruit out there....." He stood walking to the door. "Well looks like the man of the hour is here you'll have to come back later for the information on the case I was on." He exited his office bending down to get pass the door as usual. "Hey! Leon! How's it going buddy!" Emmett happily greeted his old friend. When he got close enough he hugged Leon picking him up off the floor a couple of feet and then letting him go. " Like always I have drinks so go wild and you better hurry up before I get to them." Emmett laughed grabbing another beer and heading back to his office.

[LizLegend]

Kita kicks herself off a table to roll back into her office on her swivel chair to grab a shot glass and then rolls back out before grabbing a beer can and popping it open and pouring herself a serving in the shot glass. She's only using the shot glass to limit herself. If this was outside of the work zone, she would or would not be chugging right now. No way to tell really. She downs her shot of beer before pouring herself another; that's when Leon comes back. When Kita quickly finished pouring she raised her glass halfway in the air, "Welcome back boss!" Even though Kita still had her typical expression on, with the half-open eyes, Kita put some energy to her voice to at least make a proper greeting or at least to sound lively. She pours her third shot of beer but stops herself from taking a sip before perking her head to respond, "Psh! Lazy?!" Kita stopped and thought to herself briefly. She didn't want to be thought as lazy nor did she think she was, physically wise at least. She looked back towards her office with the door wide open as it revealed her desk which was still half the mess it was, filled with papers and files. Alright, that's only one side of lazy. That... and Kita was still sitting on her swivel chair, moving around and all. So maybe that's what's making her lazy 'looking'. Kita spun herself on the swivel chair before facing everyone again but her eyes slightly looking to the side, "...That's only true with deskwork..." Kita wasn't mad or anything at all, no no, she's just reacting. Kita stood up and kicked her swivel chair to roll it back into her office. "Anyways, it's nice to meet the missus," she somewhat raised her shot glass in the air again before slowly sipping at it instead of downing it this time, and chuckling in the process at Emmett's last statement before he headed back into his office.

[The ghost in black]

Eris was in the middle of doing her own cleaning inside the agency's mainframe, cleaning out all the outdated files and updating others. There were random flashes of her face over different monitors while she cleaned, and at one point she was in the main entrance where she saw everyone gathered in the lobby with "wait is the who I think it is?" She thought to herself then zoomed the camera in, getting a clear look at Leon's face "it is!". After Emmet left Her body surged out of the camera and collected a foot off the ground and a few feet in front of him "Leon!" She shouted then tackle hugged him, even though it wouldn't do anything to him since she was too light "welcome back!". When Eris let go of him she finally saw Suzume and held out her hand, "hello miss you must be Suzume, I'm eris"

[2b3heart]

Nyra smiled and waved at Leon and his new wife.
"So nice to meet you! Are you going to be working us us, too?" She asked excitedly.

[NekoJordan]

"Hi Eris it's nice to meet you!" Suzume said as she tried to shake Eris' hand. "Sadly no I said that when we were officially married I would bring her here and introduce her to everyone. However since today marks the anniversary of a very special day I thought it would be time to introduce our new members." Leon said "Wait you mean them?" Natasha asked as Leon nodded his head. Leon walked over to the stairs as he went up to a door that was locked with the seal of Garo. He pointed his blade at it and removed the seal. He opened to door as he took the hands of a boy and a girl. He went back downstairs as the two followed behind "Everyone I'd like to introduce Hajime and Tora." Leon said

-At Arrow Park-

At Arrow Park what seems to be a large meteor has crashed in the middle. The people who were relaxing go to check it out as a being launches out of the astroid and kills one of the citizens by piercing the person's heart with their bare hands. The man let out a sinister chuckle as he tossed the persons body aside. "Human's, so soft and squishy. I can rip them apart with so much ease." He says as the people began to scream and run away. "Greetings earth! Katze Bergoune has arrived!" Katze says.

-Back at the Agency-

Leon heard his phone ring as he takes it out of his pocket and answers it. "Leon Speaking. Wait? What!" Leon says in shock "We've got an emergency! An unknown being is running rampant in Arrow park! Emmett, Kita, and Nyra you come with me! Eris you back us up from here, when I give the ok send Hajime and Tora out!" Leon yelled He looks to Suzume and hugs her "I'll be back soon! I love you." Leon said as Suzume hugs him back "I love you too. Now go kick some ass, all of you!" Suzume says as Leon nods and runs to the garage and get's in his red convertible. "Computer open the garage doors!" He says "Of course right away Leon." the computer said "How many times must I say...wait you said it right this time! Alright I'm feeling pumped now!" Leon said as he put on the stick-on siren and zoomed out of the garage towards Arrow Park.

Dimitri was hard at work prepping for his hunt for the night. Under normal circumstances it would have simply been a matter of finding a quiet location and attacking anyone that was stupid enough to wander about alone at night, however the influx of agency activity from the terrorist attack five months ago had forced him to change his methods. It was for the best anyway, after all, this hunt wasn't meant to be just for food: It would be the first step in his little game called revenge. What Dimitri assumed to be an earthquake caused his apartment to rattle a bit, but with no other shakes to be found after the first one he continued to focus on the task at hand. The wendigo stared over a map of the city that he'd printed out from his computer, several locations on it having been circled with a red marker with little side notes. In the background Dimitri's television played, though he payed little attention to it, keeping it on more for noise than anything. There was someone rabbling on about a meteor and an unearthly creature attacking people, however Dimitri continued to ignore it under the assumption that it was just some Sci-fi movie trailer, that is, until he heard the words 'Arrow Park'.

He looked up from his map to find a reporter had arrived on the scene and began to broadcast a live feed of what was going on. "Well i'll be damned..." he muttered somewhat awestruck at the sight. This awe eventually gave way to a mixture of annoyance at his old hunting grounds being used by someone other than himself, and excitement as he realized that this meant he could potentially set his plans in motion earlier with everyone focused on this alien. Dimitri folded up the map and shoved it into his pocket before making his way towards the door, pausing only long enough to snatch up his keys and lock the door. "You know what they say Silvera, strike while the iron's hot" He chuckled to himself as he exited the apartment. Already he could hear

[Zetsuko]

after scavenging what he could from the old facility he'd been found in, Atlas had moved everything to another location, well-hidden and spacious enough for what he needed. he was controlling both the Illyrian mech and ghost chassis at the same time, with the Illyrian at his hideout setting up the tech he'd recovered and the ghost scouting around the city. He needed an energy core for some of the machinery and was looking to several labs to see if they might have the type of core he needed, or at least a similar one.

right now, however, his attention was drawn to a commotion in Arrow park, a meteor had landed and Atlas observed from his vantage point on a nearby rooftop as it executed one of the citizens. He stood atop the roof and watched the scene as back at his hideout Illyrian stopped what is was doing and headed out. Atlas had, in fact, found a lab that had the type of core he was looking for and this distraction seemed the perfect opportunity to obtain it with minimal agency in interference.
