Having confirmed that Kali's heart was beating properly again and tried to inspect the woman to make sure there were no other major injuries. Only to have his arm grabbed; finding himself pulled off-balanced into an armlock as the sudden harsh tug caused a jolt of pain in the shoulder making him let out a wincing grunt." Hngh, so this is how you give thanks for fixing up that heart of yours? Good to know." He spoke through slightly gritted teeth as his ears flicked at her mentioning a rub pressing against her lung followed by a threat which had the fox let out a brief airy laugh.

He gave his arm a testing twist and pull but her grip was too firm and with the weight of her body proved quite difficult for him to break free and he certainly didn't have the muscles to lift and slam her down." Oh you want them cuffs off? I'll get right on that!" His tone sarcastic as he did a mock patting of his haori to further state his sarcasm." A real grateful one we have here. Its a wonder why no one at the guild likes you." Shaking his head with a sigh followed by another small wince.

Finding the position uncomfortable and hurting his hips which was slightly twisted and shifted onto one knee then moved his free hand to grip the constrained arm." So, let's see. If I don't set you free you will break my arm? That would be quite painful for sure though probably not as bad as a strong shock...and would be very unfortunate if the seizing cause that punctured rib pierced the lung." Tilting his head in thinking manner." And considering the speed we were traveling we are probably a good few hours from the town and I'm certainly no medic." Lifting his head to point his masked face towards her, a look of intrigued curiosity beneath." But, sure go ahead and break the arm if you like and see how long you last with blood pooling into your lung." He let out a cheeky click of the tongue; waiting to see what Kali would do after truly considering the situation as while a broken arm would take months to heal, he doubted she would get far in such a state and the cuffs cutting off her magic. The fox then gave off a few warning crackles of static testing her to try it.

" That is correct, yes." Nodding his head after reaffirming the type of magic he uses and was grateful to see her intrigued by it. As there have been a number of fellow beastkin that found his barrier magic weak or uninteresting back at the village, the thought bringing a brief frown to his face before returning to its near blank expression." The blacken oak one might indeed be the easier of the two but I think the flower delivery quest is best." Mainly as he didn't feel ready to be surrounded and interacting with a group of the town folk just yet.

While Alina grabbed the poster; Menzai turned his head away briefly after noticing a few other guildmates leaving as it seemed the woman from before, Ria accepted the challenge of another unknown member whose name he did not know. This proved a prime opportunity to observe their magic and fighting style, but alas that would have to wait another time and turned his attention back onto the redhead to hear her question regarding how he preferred to be addressed." Hm, Mr. Isanami is preferable if you please, Ms. Bloomfield." Finding that this was the best way to keep relationships with the others in a formal distance as he wasn't here to make friends.

With the quest decided and where to meet settled, he gave a bow of the head." I shall return momentarily and meet you then." Setting off towards the table where he left the two piles of books and upon reaching them had lifted his hands to give the top books a quick tap of his clawed index fingers. Seconds later, a light blue transparent bubble formed around the two piles of books then slipped his hands beneath them. And with ease he lifted them up as the bubbles almost seemed to float and bounce gently against his palms making carrying the books easier for him to carry off to his room.

After a quick walk down the hallway did he arrive at his room where he was able to place the books on the desk as the barrier bubbles popped shortly after. Briefly taking a glance around the bedroom; besides the books the room looked as if no one had been staying here the past week.* Seems I spent too much time at the library. When I return I need to get the preparations done.* Rubbing a finger against his chin as he mused to himself though this task would have to wait as it would be unbecoming and rude to keep Ms. Bloomfield waiting and so quietly exited the room to make way for the main lobby once more. To his relief that horrendous odor had lessen in intensity by this point to which he let out a relieved sigh, not that the stench was gone completely though and so avoided breathing in too deeply.

Before setting off towards the front door, he made sure to take a moment to slip the hood on to cover the top of his head, the canine ears in particular. With that taken care of, Menzai headed to the front door where he found Alina waiting who was thankfully able to get the approval from Torys." Then shall we be off? Ah, one last thing that I must mention or more a favor in this instance? I must inquire avoiding mention of my..less human features while around those not part of fenixtear." Wanting to keep his presence and that of beastkin little known as possible at least for the time being.

Now that everything was taken care of, the two were off; making their way to Petunia Town.

Menzai Isanami

The redhead sitting across from him seemed to be well mannered; a rare trait from the few human interactions he has had up to this point. Though that smile of hers felt...off? Uncertain what it was that gave him such a feeling, but the curling of her lips almost looked forced as if it wasn't completely genuine. A strange thing to think towards a person who spoke and greeted him more kindly and certainly rude and so kept such thoughts to himself.

" Hm, yes. I have been told the name given to me to be particularly interesting though being seen as intriguing is refreshing compared to being considered strange or a freak due to my..less than human features." A brief motion of his hand towards his twitching canine ears which is why he has opted to wearing a hood while traveling in the public, preferring to avoid conflict that would variably happen with how somewhat close minded people can be. And through Aline, he gained the partial name of the woman who dropped off the books and made a mental reminder to thank this Ria properly the next time he encountered her.

He took a moment to glance over some of the books titles before hearing Ms. Bloomfield speaking up after being briefly lost in thought which he took this chance to glance over a few of the book titles. These probably didn't have a deep telling of the regions history but would help him discern the basics at least. Turning his his attention back to the redhead to see that she had a similar thought of partaking in a quest." I agree. An opportune time to work together and see how we will get along."

Pushing off the table to stand; deciding to leave the books on the table for the moment as he prepared to follow Aline to the board, when the sound of coughing and hacking caught the attention of his ears. Soon spotting the male individual who was standing next to the female with the horrid cup and found himself frowning slightly. A reaction he himself would be having were he in the man's position which had him wondering if he had enhanced senses too for he didn't carry the scent of a beastkin. Unexpected and peculiar to see another with a strong sense of smell and seeing the gagging reaction had him offering the person his condolences in his mind before moving on towards the board, thankfully further away from that foul stench to his nose relief.

Strolling his way to stand besides Ms. Bloomfield, his footsteps nary making a sound as he went and his hands slipping into the long sleeves. His eyes scanning over the board, where he soon discovered that a festival would be taking place with some of the quests pertaining to its preparation.

Most of the quests seemed simple and easy, save for two which were somewhat higher in rank. These two seemed to be the more challenging and interesting one but since this were to be his first case and with a fellow guildmate who herself was somewhat new to the guild still and figured it best to do one of the more easygoing jobs. She proved to think of a similar mind by choosing two of the jobs that were in laymen terms, errands towards setting up the festival.

Turning his gaze to the two jobs she showed interest in before she explained that her magic was not suited nor optimal for combat to which he shook his head." No need for apologies as such lack of information is on my part. I have use of barrier magic, so it isn't optimal for combat but fret not. As the jobs you have selected will likely have little risk of encountering dangerous individuals unless they hate flowers or festivals?" Still, the possibility was always there and better to be safe by remaining on guard; a good thing his magic was a defensive type making his skills perfect for most jobs like these.

And so as he read over the two jobs in questions and pondering on which the two could handle best or the least troublesome. While the thought of transporting a large batch of flowers didn't sound too appealing for his nose (any scent would be better than that mystery aroma of the cup) yet proved the better option over having to do menial tasks and being surrounded by groups of people. As he was never one much for crowds and so the choice was easily decided." After some thought, the special delivery quest seems the most appealing. If you agree with taking the quest or if you prefer the other then that is fine too. " He gave a small bowing nod of the head, waiting to hear her answer." And before we set off, I must get those books to my room if you don't mind the short wait."

Menzai Isanami

The casual demeanor and lack of worry from the other guild members seemed to indicate that such incidents were a daily occurrence. An important thing to note as he now knew to expect such antics making it easier to prepare for odd and unexpected events. Yet, trying to focus on his note tasking was proving to be difficult as his nose picked up a horribly pungent scent, the source to be that of a cup filled with an unknown liquid resting by the woman at the bar.

A mere whiff of it turned the contents of his stomach sour and instilled in him an urge to vomit. He fought the unsettling sensation with a gulp while using the writing to help distract from the foul fumes tickling uncomfortably at his nostrils which nearly had him gag. The only saving grace being the distance from the horrendous smell though only a small comfort. An instance where Menzai cursed his heighten sense of smell; doubting he could hold back the sickly feeling were that vile cup drew any closer and likely not only lose his stomach but pass out as well.

Trying to breathe little as possibly; inhaling only when needed while forcing himself to keep composure. Almost thankful to have the young woman pull up to the table as she would offer a better distraction than simply writing.

His dark blue eyes lifted from the page of his notebook to peer at the woman sitting across from him, the pair of tiny sharp red irises nearly glinting like rubies. Those furry canine ears adorning the top of his head flicked and perked; signs he was listening and caught every word she spoke regarding introducing herself to be Alina Bloomfield. Eyes filled with a curious gaze lowered briefly to the extended hand having recall the human custom of handshakes; a somewhat more physical and respectful way of greeting a new stranger.

Not wishing to be rude to the first person he would be speaking to within these halls besides the guild leader and placed his pencil down within the confines of the opened notebook and closed it before nudging it to the side. Once taken care of, he lifted his right to cough into it as if to clear his throat while it was more to hide the faint gag induced by that mysterious stench." Pleased to make your acquaintance, Ms. Bloomfield though apologies for I must refuse the handshake. Mind no offense as there is no fault on your end but simply due to the situation regarding.." Trailing off as he opened his right hand to display his clawed fingers, wanting to avoid any risk of accidentally scratching or cutting her hand and chose instead to offer a small respectful bow of the head then folded his hands before him.

" And I am indeed new to the guild having only joined a week prior. So I have little experience in witnessing this...rowdy bunch as you put it? " His right eyebrow lifting; uncertain if that was the correct term to refer the group but for the moment it would suffice." Perhaps a bit unorthodox and untamed this group is though the building still stands to this day." A brief waving motion of his hand to indicate the building." So a kitchen fire seems of little threat to those of this guild." Understandably apparent considering the nonchalant and amused reactions going on.

Turning his gaze back onto the woman sitting across from him where he noticed that he was being observed much like he was doing. Taking note of the smile creasing her cheeks, but the look in her eyes betrayed the friendly demeanor she tried to portray, whereas his gleamed a mixture of curiosity and indifference. With an near blank expression to match save but for the slightest wrinkle between his brows hinting of disgust. He listened to Aline tell that she herself had only been here a month and stating her disappointment in missing out on the battle against the dragon." Unfortunate to have missed witnessing this dragon having heard a bit about this terrible beast. Quite a feat, slaying a dragon. " He finished with a quick nod." Ah, right. It has slipped the mind to introduce myself. The name is Menzai Isanami." He intended to add onto the introduction, when another woman, who's name he did not get yet though surprisingly knew his came over to place several books on the table near him and learning they contained history information on Fiore and two other nations.

A pleased shine shown in his eyes briefly before returning to a look of indifference." Thank you, miss. I will be sure to peruse the contents of these books shortly. " A thankful bow of the head as he gently patted the topmost book then started returning his attention back to Aline when spotting the guild leader post up new jobs, the first time seeing any new ones get placed since joining." Hm, seems some quests have been put up. Would you wish to join in inspecting and possibly accepting one to work together?" Being new to the guild and doing jobs that he couldn't refuse the opportunity to finally take his first quest to get a firsthand experience of working on one alongside a human.

The fox pushed back against the tree he had crashed again and momentarily leaned against it to get air back into his lungs. He grumpled slightly while rubbing at his chest though wasn't too bothered from getting kicked considering Kali was in a far worse and more painful state. Lifting his head; mask slightly askew that a quick nudge of his hand fixing it back into place, where he saw the detestable woman's failed attempt to get up and flee. Seeing the woman so feared by the guild in such a sorry state with the knowledge that he hurt her to such a degree lifted his souring mood in seconds.

A few pats dusting off his haori before pushing off the tree to once again casually stroll over to Kali now forced to rest on her knees due to the injuries being worse than expected. Then his ears perked catching the words she coughed out about not being imaginary making Izu stop in his tracks with a curious tilt of the head. It was clear she was struggling whether to say something while reeling from the pain and coughing up bits of blood and decided to let her speak out of curiosity though mostly out of amusement as he had an idea of what was about to come.

Izu stood there, listening quietly to Kali talk about this dark guild, Shadow Fang and how they had been working in secret with abducting and forcefully indoctrinating them into their guild. He folded his sleeved arms across his chest as if in deep thought, the masked face making it impossible for the woman to tell what he was thinking regarding her explanation over this guild and how they used entire villages as a base to drain resources and other use." So, let me get this straight. This village you destroyed was actually controlled by this Shadow Fang guild and apparently working up to some major stuff?" Lifting his right hand to lightly scratch a clawed finger against the chin part of his mask like one would do when pondering.

" Looks like this is much more serious than we thought. All of this over a stupid misunderstanding...let me get you of those then we'll try to figure thi- " He had started reaching into his right sleeve while speaking but couldn't help himself anymore as he found himself snickering in the middle of trying to be serious then broke out into laughter." Pffft! Hahahahaha! Oh wow! You really spent your time on the one well to work out this crazy kind of story." Speaking through his continued muffled laughter while hugging at his stomach; greatly amused by the ridiculous story she concocted." Can't deny how impressive this story of yours is. That dark guild forcing villagers into becoming members was a nice touch so let me applaud you." The gasping fox reeled back to stand up to give a slow sarcastic slap and on the third clap she would feel the tingling of static faintly crackling off the cuffs.

Without warning, his right hand moved as if gripping an invisible rope and pulled it back. In doing so she felt a strong pull on the metal cuffs causing her body to get pulled along onto her side and dragged the short distance towards him before skidding to a stop with her shoulder hitting against his raised foot. The masked Izu leaned forward till he was looking down at her." Come on, Kali! You do realize how downright ridiculous all of that sounds? Some dark guild going around taking over villages and you just so happened to find one? Which you burnt down?" He scoffed with a nudging shove of his foot to push the woman onto her back." Three things regarding that story." Holding up three fingers to add to his statement." One- Any chance of proof gone the moment you burned down the town, two-you fled and went on the run taking away any credibility of anything you say and three- this is hardly the first time you burned something down out of anger." Lowering each finger as he explained his points, his foot pressing down on her shoulder to keep her from trying to move." After stating these facts, so then. Why on earth would I or anyone possibly believe anything that comes out of your mouth?" His tone a mix of mocking and disbelief as he couldn't help but chuckle again.

Nearly losing himself in another laughing fit and had to wave his hand as he took a deep breath." Good to see that this hot headed birdbrain isn't all anger in that head." Letting out an amused scoff before lowering himself down." Now, to deal with this annoying breathing before it becomes a problem." Reaching his right hand down which crackled with static which he placed against her chest above her heart and gave a quick pump sending a precise shock fixing the erratic beating of her heart much like a defibrillator." There we are. All that broken breathing of yours was starting to get annoying which would of been handled had you not attacked me." Annoyance in his voice as he listened to her heartbeat to make sure it was beating properly once more.

Evan found himself brooding as he sat there on the bar as he gave a sputter of his lips at Wayne's remark at being late. Resting his cheek against his left fist propped up by the elbow while his right fingers lightly drummed away at the counter top." I'm not your coffee boy. " He muttered beneath his breath; preferring not to mention the reason for his lateness due to him listening in on the current chase and fantasizing joining in like a proper villain.

" Tch! Well Tankman handled this job very sloppily. Going big at the start and drawing two heroes on him not even five seconds of getting the armored truck." Scoffing with a fresh drum of his fingers upon being reminded of his inability to pull off a villainous deed without his infuriating powers getting in the way.

He turned his head to glare daggers at the bartender through the mask of his and sat up." Don't you think I know that?! Don't need to keep reminding me. I would of done it if I knew how." Growling out softly with his head lowered slightly to peer down at his closed fist shaking lightly against the counter; noticing his frustration rising again and took a deep breath to try and calm down as he knew like most patrons it was foolish to mess with this man.

The bartender really knew how to strike at his heart, hitting him with another dagger to the heart with his latest comment." Ugh, don't call me vigilante! I hate being referred as such." Huffing from his nose while sitting back up to glare at Wayne once again, seeming to say more until he was offered the virgin mojito and settled down to sip at the drink to let it soothe his ebbing nerves.

He could hear the ragged difficulty of her breathing caused by the powerful static jolt. It thankfully left this woman considered highly difficult to bring down badly stunned and long enough for him to clasp on the cuffs. And did he feel bad at all for the dirty sneak attack that brought the bird down? Not at all. As this way let him avoid an annoying drawn out chase and fight.

Ears perking upon her finally speaking in pained huffs resulting in a shake of the head." Oh, is that so? Then by all means let me get you out of these cuffs and a pat on the back with an apology. And I bet you'd like some refreshing water before I send the birdy on her way? " He spoke in a mock sincere tone then started snickering, when his ears flicked; catching how her heartbeat was beating erratically.

A worrisome sound which he knew needed to be fixed as he was pretty sure the job was to bring Kali back alive. Plus, having to drag a corpse all the way back certainly wouldn't be fun be kind to his nose." Yes yes. Playing right into the hands of your imaginary enemies. Now shut up and stay st-" His fox like senses allowed him to notice her spinning and started to step back to avoid having his foot slipped out beneath him but was still reeling from a bit of dizzyness though moved enough to keep from being knocked down and instead tripping back. Trying to regain his balance when receiving a kick to his chest having the fox stumble back, barely keeping on his feet before hitting against the tree behind him with a small pained grunt. It was the fox's turn to let out a heaving grunt, the air briefly kicked from his lungs.

Menzai Isanami

It had now been a week since joining with the guild and at an most opportune time. For he found the place to be mostly empty with only a few others after majority of the guild members set out on quests the very evening of his arrival.

The large building; now quiet offered a decent amount of places to explore without being bothered and bombarded by questions of his appearance and origin of which he expected. And after settling on an empty room to claim for his own, did he set out, where to his delight came across the guild's library while the smell and look of the walls and shelves indicated it had recently been built and stocked at that. Within this room, surrounded by shelves and shelves of books was where the wolf felt at home and would spend most of his term casually perusing its contents. Though of course the books he found seemed mostly basic and hardly anything special but he figured this place wouldn't hold the more interesting and intricate sets that held the more difficult and..less than approved information. Yet, it held knowledge of this modern era; a good start in understanding how the world had chanced these past several hundred years.

A good thing to have all these books to keep him busy with nearly all the quests taken anyway with the last involving babysitting. As he didn't much like children along with the fact a bubbly seeming female already shown interest in accepting it. Opting to hold off on taking a quest at the time being which left the robed canine free to read, choosing only to venture out to grab himself tea and bits of food though unsure if any belonged to a particular person and so kept to mostly sandwiches or cereal while of course cleaning up after himself. Besides leaving to sleep otherwise the beastkin spent all his time reading or meditating within the sanctuary of books.

Eventually the solace and quiet peace came to an end upon the guild members returning. The once quiet building quickly becoming abuzz with activity; footsteps stamping on creaking wooden floorboards, doors opening and closing and various muffled voices with none familiar to him.

Thinking it time to try and properly meet some of his fellow guild mates that he quietly glided from the library and made his way to the main hall. Open book lightly clutched within his clawed hands as his uncovered canine ears twitched and flicked to the various sounds. Long before even arriving that his nose had caught the smell of fire and badly burnt cookies and the faintest hint of blood uncomfortably tickling at his highly sensitive nose, the kitchen the source of these unpleasant scents.

His ears perked; catching a disgruntled voice filled with annoyance and exasperation and another almost playful feigning guilt. It was clear an argument were taking place and so chose to hold off on making himself a cup of tea, at least for the time being.

Closing the book on his thumb as a temporary bookmark and took a moment to peer around the hall. Glimpsing unknown faces of those either busy in their own thing or relaxing and watching the antics of the kitchen in amusement. This observation had him lift a brow in a curious manner; unsure of what could possibly be funny regarding damages to the kitchen especially when it could spread and worsen though a quick barrier cutting it off from oxygen would have it snuffed out in seconds.

* None seemed vexed nor show the slightest hint of worry. How peculiar seeing them relaxed and amused at the possibility of danger.* Thinking this with a slight curious tilt of the head.

Deciding to jot this down seeing as the incident within the kitchen would take some time to be resolved and strode over to an empty table. Taking a seat and setting the book down opened, he reached in and from the left sleeve procured a small notebook and pencil. Taking this moment to scribble down what he observed of the group's behavior, fascinated by their aloofness and a person's capability to somehow start a stove fire in trying to bake cookies.

How he wished the rest of the guild and those who had tried to bring in prior were here to witness him bring down the fiery phoenix in such an epic manner. One that he normally would revel in, but traveling at such speeds he wasn't used to on top of stopping himself so abruptly left him feeling nauseous and dizzy made worse by the unsteady wobbling of his disc. As without all that built up charge; being at such a height had it struggling with barely holding him up, threatening to drop beneath his weight. Taking a deep breath while gulping down the nausea, the masked fox crouched down against the disc to steadily lower himself towards the ground and once he was below the tree lines was able to regain his balance to lower himself easier.

Finally settling down on the ground a good few feet from the crumpled heap that is kali as he made sure to regain his composure before hopping off the disc." Whew..that was quite the chase you gave me there. And you were this close to getting up into those clouds." Pinching his right index and thumb clawed fingers till they were nearly touching to further state how she was inches from getting away as he casually strode his way over to her though kept himself ready to pull back at any sign of an attack.

" I know such a surprise attack is dirty and blah blah blah.." Mocking a mouth talking with his right hand followed with a shrug of the shoulder." But you can't blame me when I'm dealing with the hot headed flamebitch as we both know an actual fight would probably end with me charred like those other idiots." He spoke in a playful tone muffled by the mask then slipped his left hand into his right sleeve and from it pulled out a pair of stark silver cuffs which he spun around his finger." Them damn government and council and their rigid ways. I tried requesting for magic nullifying cuffs but of course they had to be their stubborn human selves and deny me. And I'm like..well that's great, you know who it is I have to bring in right?" Placing a hand on his chest as he leaned to the side, now standing over Kali.

He scoffed with a shake of the head as he gripped the cuff, ceasing its spinning." These magic dampening cuffs will have to do I suppose." Crouching down next to the woman still reeling from the intense shock with bits of static crackling over her clothes." Now, be a good birdy and keep that temper of yours under control won't you? For me, hm?" He asked in a mocked kind tone while giving her nose a small poke of his clawed finger then moved to turn her over and clasps her wrists together against her back with the cuffs.

The police scanner had been abuzz with activity; detailing a high speed chase robbery with both Dynamo and Eclipse now on the scene! Any moment now his car will be pulling up and throwing a wrench into those blasted heroes attempts to foil the tank man as he would soon be shouting that fate would aid in his villainy!

He could just picture himself jumping out of the car and showing everyone what a true villain he was to let his car derail the armored car injuring the guards inside." You chose an ill fated day to play the hero! " Is what he would shout at the pretty boy speedster and the gloomy shadowy guy. Evan pumped his fist as he sat in driver's seat of his car picturing how all of this would go, but instead found himself parked across the street from the red door dressed in his mistaken hero outfit as he sat there laughing manically at how amazing it would of all played out. Then he stopped mid-laugh upon remembering where he was and found himself grabbing and strangling the steering wheel in frustration." Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! It should be me out there doing such an epic villainy act! " Slamming his fist against the wheel before thumping his forehead against it causing an extended loud honking as he sat there stewing in his rage at missing out on it.

This could of been the perfect opportunity to prove he was no damn hero...not going around working these damn escort jobs! The young masked adult grumbled before sitting back against the seat." This is just so unfair! I'm sick of being used as an uber... " Growling while rubbing his hands ferociously through his hair.

With a reluctant shove, he got out of the car and had started stamping his way towards the bar only to skid to a stop and ran back to grab the cup holder holding two hot cups of coffee.

Kicking the door open and made his way inside and headed towards the counter while grumbling, where he nearly slammed the cup holder down." Ugh, I'm not a secretary damn it! Neither am I an uber, I'm a legit villain and deserve to be out pulling jobs like this!" Slamming his palm repeatedly against the counter as he exclaimed his distaste to constantly receiving these demeaning escort jobs." Of all the guys it had to be tankman?! The guy's a lumbering idiot in some scrap metal suit for pete's sake. " Thumping his forehead against the counter top after having another glass of liquor pulled away from his reaching hand.

He didn't even get enough respect to be able to drink and all cause he wasn't exactly 21 yet.
