~ "Until its location is revealed and the seal is broken, I cannot access it..." ~
Darkness lingers over the city. The clouds threaten to bring down rain. Lightning flashes in the skies and thunder roars. It is still early in the work day. The news warns residents to stay inside.
"There is high chance of rain. Our instruments predict a downpour that can last a full day. Maybe even longer." "We haven't had a flood in the city in quite some time, have we?" "It's been a pretty long time. I doubt any of the good areas will actually flood. The lower commons might, but everyone else should be fine." "Haha. Yeah, they always get the worst of it. I'm glad I stay in the Metro. Still expect rain and high winds..."
-
Three monks dressed in traditional attire walk into the Division 12 HQ. The lead monk holds a staff that he uses as a walking stick. He is an old man with long white eyebrows, hair and beard. The two other monks are much younger. People would be able to tell they were from the forest. They would be unarmed. The lead monk speaks out.
"I need to speak with whoever is in charge here. It is of the utmost urgency."
Lightning flashes in the sky in the background of the newcomers. Rain starts to pour down.
-
Marcos sits in the air in the sky. He is protected from the rain by a barrier that surrounds him in a bubble. He rests his elbow on his knees and looks over the dark city.
"It's kind of boring if we give them a warning."
The Leviathan stands in the air next to him.
"That's what the plan is. In the end, the humans are not our target."
Marcos sighs and lays on his back.
"But they're fun to mess with. This sucks. I could have done this with my demon army..."
"Something this simple I could do alone."
"Me too... Hell... my kid probably could... I'm just saying."
The Leviathan turns and looks to the forest.
"He says it's more fun with the weak ones struggle against each other. Our time will come."
Spirits flow from the Onitoshi portal. Yokai and forest spirits group up in the forest. Birds and animals flee from that portion of the forest. It is completely overrun by spirits. They gather and grow in numbers. Lightning flashes again. Something big was about to happen from the forest.

| | The monk's that had arrived into Division 12 were instantly out of place and it was something that caught the eye's of everyone in the place. From his desk Jose would lift his head and arch a brow a bit confused as to what these people were doing here, but it would seem they came here with a purpose as they asked to speak with the one who's in charge because it was of a dire emergency. Jose would speak up to them as he held a finger to them as if to tell them 'hold on a minute' "I'll give a ring, just one moment please."
Picking up the phone Jose would call up the commissioner's office, which is Jyn's office. Though call had been routed to the secretary phone first to which it was picked up. In her seat she held the phone to her hear. "Commissioner Asei's office, this is Izumi Hiramoto, how may I assist you?" Jose spoke out in a gentle voice as he smiled hearing Izumi's voice. "Izumi, this is Jose, if it's not a bother could you tell the commissioner there are some monk's down here to see him."
This response was quite weird as Izumi arched a brow. "Monk's? What could they want?" Jose shrugged his shoulders on his end and shook his head. "I have no clue, but it just seems weird for monk's to be all the way over here, they say it's an emergency so I called."
Nodding her head she responded. "Alright, I'll let him know immediately thank you Jose, he should be down in a few moments." Jose nodded his head as well. "Alright, Thank's Izumi, take care now, bye bye."
"Bye" and with that stated Izumi hung up the phone. Jose on his side would tell the monks. "He is being notified right now and should be on his way down."
Izumi got up and made her way to Jyn's door as she knocked on his door. "It's Izumi." she announced before she would open the door and enter inside.
-Word count: 342 Location: Izumi's secretarial office just outside of Jyn's office in division 12.

| | Phase I - New Direction ... Time: Day ... Location: Future Realm, Division 12 HQ
Water begins to bead and form line along the window of the room with the degradation of the weather. The dark skies offer no fluffy scenery of the outside and the city from the elevated view of my office. Having gone a bit old school due to my frustrations of being purely digital, several articles of paper lay on my desk mixed in with virtual, holographic pieces of paper that were laid about the top of my desk. Among these pieces of paper was the vague title “Recalibration.” Various plans, proposals and projects concerning said subject were the topic of the mess upon my table. The table would be noticeably larger than the one of my previous office. The seat of the commissioner was a rather large and comfortable one. A small amount of time had passed since I had been nominated and accepted the commissioner’s seat within the Division. At this moment in time, I was the figurehead and public figure acquainted with running the Division.
The sound of the raindrops and dull thunder offers a slightly soothing background as I work amongst the materials on my desk. Leaning back in my chair, I recline from the littered desk and sigh lightly as a hand comes to the side of my head and moves softly within the glossy strands of black. A slight sigh comes with the temple rub, but is shortly interrupted with the knock on the door and announcement of both my current girlfriend and secretary. “Ah, Izumi,” I notice as my gaze shifts up, “what is it?”

| | Phase I - New Direction ... Time: Day ... Location: Future Realm, Division 12 HQ
‘Monks?’ is among the first thoughts to come into my head along with ‘who the hell is Jose?’ My visage transitions from more or less my normal look to slight annoyance as I look down at my desk, then back up and sigh. Turning my gaze to the side and to my computer’s screen, I calmly give the verbal command to invoke a view of the security camera in the front lobby. A holographic screen populates next to my main screen and, true enough, there were men dressed in traditional attire standing patiently in the lobby. I carry the thought, ‘they couldn’t have found anyone other than -me- to talk to them?’ The Division was quite large with several important looking captains and such; one of them would have probably done well. Still, ambassadors from the forest could turn out to be a pretty big deal, or something PR related. I had heard from several sources, that there were tribes in the forest who fought against spirits on a regular basis, so I rationalize that there was a good chance they had something important to say if they came all the way here.
“Okay,” I say as I stand to my feet, “let’s go see what they want.” I wore a simple business casual dark gray suit with white shirt and red tie. The top button was undone with my tie slightly loose, showing that I still hadn’t gotten fully comfortable in dressing the part yet. Walking from my desk, I move towards the door where Izumi was, and would proceed out of it to head to the lobby, but not without playfully patting Izumi on the ass in passing. “Let them know I’m coming down, please,” I would ask of her. I decided that instead of making them walk all the way to my office, I would go downstairs and meet them. I assumed that would be the best thing for older traditional types; I didn’t want to seem arrogant or rude. If we required a place to sit down and talk, I felt that one of our conference rooms would do fine. From my office I would proceed to the elevator, and from the elevator I would enter into the lobby. Hopefully someone would be at the base of the elevator to show me to our guests and point out the leader, not that he particularly needed to be pointed out. Being respectful of the elder monk, I give a short bow before standing casually and speaking, “I am Asei Jyn, Commissioner of Division 12.” I look past them to the weather outside and am reminded how far the forest is from the center of the city. I wondered if they walked the entire way. I offer, “let’s speak in another room; there’s no need for you to stand in the lobby.” Speaking to the side, I ask, “Izumi, can you get someone to bring them some water or something please?”

| Site Interaction Phase I - New Direction (Heavenly Manifestation Arc) Location: SaiCity, Future Realm The old man holds up a hand and stops Jyn. "Thank you but I'm sorry, there is little time for formalities... we will be leaving shortly... so please listen. I have to get back to my people to prepare. I am Zasyn Jin, one of the elders of the forest tribes. I have had a vision of the future: the city will be attacked by a great evil. This force is too much for my tribe to hold back so we will need your full assistance. Because I have foreseen the first moments of the attack, I can tell you where it will hit. The enemy will not anticipate our counter attack, so I have planned to have my clan create a barrier and fight. We will need your assistance, but even with your weapons, I fear it may not be enough to stop substantial damage to this city."------------------------------- "What do you think they're doing?"
"Preparing a barrier. They're probably going to try to counter the first wave."
"Humans are sure perceptive aren't they?" Kyrs and Imorte fly over the city. A fire-bubble barrier keeps them dry from the pouring rain. Krys holds a small kitty in her arms. Imorte wears a red and blank printed Kimono. "Does this kimono make my hips look big?"
"I don’t' think that's a question a guy should ask."
"Well I need to know if I'm going to be on TV... how's my hair?"
"We're here."
"Oh... the silly the human barrier's in the way. What a pain. Shall you break it?"
"Me? Why do I have to do all the work?! Anyways, HE said not to worry about it."~ "Be gone." ~ The city metro barrier vanishes (yea... it just disappears! it'll take about 5 minutes to come back up). Imorte looks up. "Thanks, boss."Kyrs continues flying. "...that's going to make the ants shit their pants. Ah! There's the building we need. Now which floor?"- Inside, the news team is in the process of covering local news on the 12th floor studio of the ElGoog tower. "... I guess that's what you call a HOT DOG..."
"Hahaha, yes indeed. In other new... wait... what the hell?"Imorte hovers outside the window and taps on it. "Knock knock."There is an explosion of fire and the window and wall explodes. The cold windy air from the outside blows into the studio. Krys's hand smokes. She and Imorte step into the studio. The anchors stand up. "What... how... security!" Kyrs frowns. "Move it, you're in the way."A large blast passes the camera. Security stops and thinks about if they really want to try to subdue them. Someone yells. "It's the terrorists!" Imorte and Kyrs step into view of the camera and sit down. Imorte crosses his legs. Kyrs sits Mr. Kibbles on the news table and leans on it. "(Terrorists? The hell?) Quiet maggots. Anyways, anyone moves and they get it too!"Imorte giggles. "Keep rolling. Can you get my good side? Can you have the camera catch my left? For some reason my cheekbones are more alluring on that side." The camera men look at the producer. He gives the signal to keep rolling. Krys sighs. She looks to the camera. "Okay ants, listen up. We ain't terrorists, we're spirits!... ya ya, go ahead and wet your pants, we're real. We have magic powers and stuff and... we're coming to take over the world... or eat your kids or something."
"Ew... eating humans? How ungraceful."
"(Hush you! HE said improvise.) But look, we don't care about normals. You others out, demons trying to blend in with the normals... cut that shit out. We're taking over so get down or lay down."
"Oh my..."
"(You're not helping! Anyways!...) It doesn't matter if you're strong or weak. If you're a spirit living with the humans we'll forgive you for being dumb and let you join our new order. Leave your jobs and whatever, they won't do you any good when we destroy the city, so yeah... Don't worry, we won't try to absorb your power for some devious plan..."
"(That was three sagas ago...)"
"(What's a saga?... hey! Stop interrupting me!) Achem. This time you can actually work for us. Who are us? We are.... (Do I use Pillars?)"
"(Isn't that just the 6 of THEM.)"
"(I thought that was the 6 Pillars?)"
"(I don't know... that's pretty close... does The Pillars sound menacing? I think you'd have to say the whole thing with the THE in it)"
"(I don't know... I guess so....)"Someone murmurs in the studio. The little black kitty, Mr. Kibbles blasts them away with a ball of fire and then licks himself. "Please remain quiet on the set..."
"Okay, yes, we are The Pillars."Imorte sits a phone down on the desk and the images and names of the 6 pillars pop out in a holograph. Kyrs continues. "We serve Dem, the ruler of the underworld. We're all insanely strong and there's no one who can defeat us, blah blah. If you want cool points to work with us, then start killing off normals! Don't worry, Dem watches everything... he'll keep count for you."
"(He likes chaos!)"
"I think that about covers it. You'll know where to go to join us soon enough... just head to where all the chaos is happening and join in the fun. Do a good job and we might have a position open for you. Hmmm... Okay, that's all! Oh, normals... feel free to treat this as a joke (smile!). Have a wonderful apocalypse!"
"Taah taaaa!"The wind blows and they both vanish like they had never been there. The cat yawns and scratches behind his ear and then gets up. He squats down, strains and takes a shit. He digs back with his back paws, it covers the poo with paper, he walks off of the table and then hops out of the hole in the wall. The studio phone lines start ringing off the hook. People panic. “We’re all going to die!”
“I’m still a virgin!”
“I don’t like watermelon flavored puckers!” The broadcast played over the entire city. It was watched by physical spirits leading normal lives. Something big was about to happen in the city. ((no posting rules, site story ish)) |

| Sitting in my office at the Psi Voli Luxury Suites in East City, I receive reports about potential flooding in the Commons. Crystal still works for me, so I call her into my office. She walks in and looks at me. "How are you feeling, Psyre?" I point to the reports and the fact that the sewer system repairs have not been completed by the District Councilman and thus the Commons are in danger. How quickly can we construct something to protect those outside of the Beautification Community? Also, why have you still not produce a suitable name for the community?" Crystal's shoulders tense up as she begins to sense my anger growing. Crystal tells me that we never got approval for your subsidiaries' contracts to upgrade the irrigation, sewer, or flood systems. "What in the bowels of Solvay has the Council Member been doing?!" The anger in my voices triggers dark spirits to rise up from the ground and reach out for Crystal.
A voice from behind her speaks, "My Lord, control your temper. The scouts have reported several powerful spirit signatures around the area. They are unsure of what..." The Agent's voice trails off as she looks at the holographic monitor of the news coverage. Looking up from my papers and maps to try and find a solution to this problem, I rise from my chair as I see him and then her, Krys, I believe it was! She said his name was Imorte. I watch their announcement and when it concludes, the agent and Crystal both ask me what my plans are. I pause for a moment as I think about the options. "Joining them could be advantageous since I do not sense enough strong powers to truly battle against them. Still, they wish to destroy the city and that is a problem for me. This city is still my home. True, I have Xartias in Onitoshi, but it is not the same. Get word to Onitoshi to have my personal force assembled and ready to head to the Commons. We will go to the Den there and analyze our options further. Get the maps and everything. I still have further use for the Commons.

| | | Being on foot patrol with my partner for the day was quiet nice, despite the threatening skies and promise of rain. It had been a calm day, with little things to strike down on, except a drunken man trying to get something free in a liquor store and a wrongly parked car. We were closing in on the metro center as the rain started its merciless hail of water and both of us quickly sought refuge within the massive tower that was the city’s centre. Entering what seemed to the be reception, my partner laughed as he noticed how soaking wet I was – “Ohh Nikki, you look like a drowned cat” he continues to laugh as I walk up to him, pressing my body against his while I stare him in the eyes. “Shut up before I kick your ass” I reply with a sarcastic voice before looking towards the centre of the building, trying to locate a bathroom of some sort where I could fix myself up and maybe get to try my hair. Walking towards what seemed to be the reception, I would gently ask the woman behind. “Excuse me, but where can I find a bathroom?” I ask politely as I turn around while waiting for an answer and it is then that I notice three odd looking fellows that walked in, wearing what seemed to be robes of some sort. The sight made me curious as to who they were and what they were doing in a place like this.

I pause as the elder monk motions to interrupt me and, in turning back towards him and his entourage, I listen to what he has to say. His words were a bit troubling and an expression shows on my face that explains I both understand and believed the gravity of his words. Coming from the forest, I would have to bank on the fact that these people were spiritually inclined and had a better notion one what was about to happen compared to us; by this time, I accepted the fact that they were probably genuine. Using my sensing abilities, I was able to tell the elderly man standing in front of me had spiritual powers. Still I knew that the sensors on the borders surrounding the city should give us a fair warning if spirits were too close to the city, and in large number. With a light frown visible on my visage, I turn to one of the guards and inquire if anything had been picked up on the sensors thus far. After an answer is given, my gaze quickly returns to the elderly gentleman as I give a stern nod as I request, “I’ll believe your words for now and investigate into the matter. Where do you believe the attack will hit?” Hell, if it were outside of the city, I figured it would make life a lot easier to hit whatever was coming with our big guns. No one would really mind a crater outside of city limits; we could even make an attraction out of it.
As I await the response from the monk, which hopefully comes around now, something happens and an alarm is sounded within the Division. A guard quickly approaches to my side and murmurs, “sir, the barrier has been taken offline by an outside force.” My mind immediately wonders ‘what the fuck?’ The frown intensifies as I turn towards him, feeling a vibration at my hip where control would verify this fact. “Excuse me,” I pardon myself from the elder while requesting, “Izumi?” on her way back for her to speak with them on my behalf. From central control I am informed that the city barrier simply vanished with no explanation. “How long before it can come back online?” I request and am told 5 minutes. I begin to inquire, “give me a full status report. Are there any abnormalities…” Just as I say this, the receptionist draws my attention to the front desk. “Sir!” one of the guards says, “two spirit entities are reported in the Elgoog tower… they’re on TV.” Manifesting a holographic screen from the receptionist’s computer the broadcast is played out. I watch, slightly unsure what to make of it and in shock on how leisurely they are with the phone half way to my face as the status report comes in. “Shit…” I murmur lightly, hearing their plan. If the normal passive demons within society started attacking humans, then the city could erupt into chaos before the demon’s strike from the outside; this would force us to battle on two fronts. Hoping Izumi handled the priest and/or saw him off, since he had things to do, I would be forced to dismiss myself as orders needed to be given. I give the verbal command to place all active and off duty officers on-call and to give a status report of the city. I give the command to contact the police to work peace keeping efforts in the streets in case the spirit population of the city went on a spree of lawlessness.

| | Opening a portal to the Den of Chaos, I send everyone thru while I keep the portal open and once they are on the other side, I walk thru as well. Ruash is there waiting and the deep voice of the Wolyf spirit kin speaks, "Greetings, Master. The spirits on the TV have caused panic in the Commons and we fear that there will be rioting soon enough." I nod to him and tell my female Agent bodyguard with me to get me a steady update on the status of the Commons. Turning to Crystal, I address her, "Find out the capability of our resources to provide emergency flood support and protect the Commons against the storm. And hurry up with that." She bows and speaks, "At once, my Lord." As advisors start to arrive, we gather in the conference room and begin discussing options for which side to take. One of my other agents arrives and they tell me that the Onitoshi force is getting themselves combat ready. I nod to him and a Myztix bodyguard walks in to inform me that my forces are taking up placements around the district in order to observe the activities and provide speedy intel. Nodding to her, I ask for suggestions. "We have a major player that is calling out for spirits to help out and join with them against the humans. Now joining them, puts us in league with the side that has an obvious advantage, but it also puts us against the city we live in and could turn the humans against us." If we are able to help the humans well enough, it would put me in the position needed to seize power here as either The Commons' Council Member or even the seat of the Mayor. Tho, what good is it to be the Mayor of rubble?

| Alexis Some days you are the windshield, some days you are the bug. Today is definitely an Alexis is the bug kind of day. From the moment my day began just after dawn, with a certain demon kitty tail tickling my nose and interrupting a very steamy dream involving her master, I have carried around a very bad feeling. Maybe being sensitive to some things makes me sensitive to more than I think. It almost seems like this day is destined to end up down the toilet... just like the earrings my vaspire beau gave me for our six month anniversary. Even the car was out to get me this morning, the darn thing did not want to start for anything. There were no odd sounds or anything to suggest something was wrong with it, it just didn't want to leave the garage. I think the car knew things would only get worse. Looking at the sky you could barely tell it was daytime, even now when it should be a bright and sunny afternoon the sky outside my office window is dark and menacing.
One client has already walked out today, not because of me but one of the now former members of my staff, so not only do I have a kiss up client meeting to look forward to later in the week but I also have to screen replacements for the former employee. I am so ready for this day to end, seriously, is it dinner time yet? Another client is up in arms over some tiny clause in the contract that we discussed fifteen times over the course of our meetings but they apparently only noticed this morning. Twenty minutes of 'yes ma'am, I understand your concern, but...' and 'no ma'am, we most certainly did not intend to slip that clause by you...' it takes to calm the woman down and jog her memory of our lengthy discussions on the clause in question before she finally calms down and withdraws her concerns. After that I sink back into my chair, massage my throbbing temples, and pray for the day to end on a good note. Of course that is the time my assistant chooses to burst into my office and turn on my television without even asking if it alright with me. I sit up in my chair ready to mercilessly bitch her out for the move when I finally see what she has turned on. It was supposed to be the afternoon newscast but the two figures on screen (plus ugly cat) were definitely not the usual anchors. Even before the two are done speaking I know the city is in serious trouble, not just from the impending rains threatening to flood the lesser cared for parts of the city that my assistant fills me in about, but from these no longer hiding spirits openly calling for others to rise up and help destroy it. Once the broadcast is over and I am trying to absorb what I have just heard, my phone begins to buzz on the corner of my desk. I pray that it is no more bad news as I reach over to answer the call from Crystal. There is a strong urge to beat my head against the hard wood of the desk while she speaks but I resist long enough to accept my task and end the call so I can begin the search for the answers she needs. Can this day possibly get any worse? 585
Jasper One good thing about nasty days like this, most people don't come out if they don't have to. This cuts down on the foot traffic in and out of the Information Center. Not many people are going to wander in looking for information when the bottom could drop out of the sky at any minute, and who really wants to come look for a job in the kind of weather that had Dorothy visiting Oz? Aside from rounds and helping the rare visitors with whatever they need, most of my day has been spent in the office. Catching up on paperwork and keeping an eye on the forecast mostly. If the weather got too bad and looked like it could pose a danger to us here or our employees on their way home we could call it an early day and evacuate the building so I have to stay abreast of the situation at all times. I watched the odd and incredibly disturbing news report go down in live broadcast hoping it was all a prank but knowing in my gut that it wasn't. I knew the phones would start ringing off the hook soon enough and that I needed to let my guys know what had just happened. A little while later I was on the communication radio filling in every member of my security team at once when my office line began to ring. Summing up the situation for the guys, I cut the radio and picked up the phone. It was one of Mr. Prince's agents informing me of a security meeting taking place soon at the Den in the Lower Commons. Since I'd been watching news and weather reports throughout the day I knew the chances of the Commons flooding and wondered if that was really the best location for an emergency security meeting. Not being one to question the boss (because they became the boss for some reason, right?) I confirm to the agent that I will attend and replace the reciever. Another radio all call later to leave the appropriate men in charge of their respective areas, and I was on my way out the door to hopefully get in and back out of the Commons before the rains make the streets impassable. 379
Trinity What a day to stay curled up under the covers all day and watch tear jerking chick flicks... of course I am not lucky enough to be able to spend this ugly and ominous day doing anything of the sort. As a new mother recently back at work full time I don't have the luxury of watching pointless television anymore, I have to go out and make a living once again. At least I am lucky enough that I can have my son close at hand while I work, the downside of which is the fact that I manage a local East City bar. The bar owner, and my surrogate father figure, Ric is a good man who insisted that I switch to days after Jayden was born so I wouldn't be working all hours of the night leaving the boy's father to lose sleep getting up with him when he cries. Now I am not such a bad mother that I plop my son's car seat down on the bar and go about my business, Ric came up with the solution for that one too. He meets me at the bottom of the stairs every day I come in. There we transfer the baby filled car seat and various child care paraphenalia (diaper bag, bottle cooler bag, and travel breast pump bag) from my arms and shoulders to his. He takes Jayden up to his apartment over the bar for what he calls 'Pops time', even though the man admittedly thinks of me as a daughter he refuses to call himself a grandpa. It's sort of cute actually. So I stay down in the bar taking care of my managerial duties while my son and his only grandparent spend the day together. When it is time for me to take a break I head up the stairs and either feed my son if it is time or pump a bottle or two for later. So far this arrangement has been working just fine for everyone involved, even Ingel since it means the three of us are able to spend the evenings and nights together as a family. So after I hand off my only child to my boss/stand in dad, I head to the office to knock the payroll out for the week before the regulars start trickling in to hold down their stools for the afternoon. Even nasty weather won't keep die hard patrons away from this place, hell even the city being attacked by terrorists or hellhounds has not managed to do that. These men are dead set on getting their daily alcohol quota met. After payroll is settled for the week and the orders have all been made, I emerge from the office and start setting up the bar. Since the crowds don't usually arrive until dinner time Ric and I both feel it best to let me handle the bar for the few hours in the afternoon. There isn't much point in paying our night tender extra to come in early for little to no business when I used to handle the bar from open to close by myself before getting pregnant. I always like to catch the news while setting up the bar, it keeps me informed of what is going on around the city and gives me background noise when the bar is way too quiet. When I turn it on they seem to be talking about the weather and the possibility of the Lower Commons flooding. Hearing that makes me very glad that Ingel moved out of the Commons and got a place here in East City a while ago, I would hate to have to worry about him on a night like this... then I remember that his job usually takes him anywhere in the city where there is trouble so he'll probably end up there before the night is over anyway. So much for that not worrying thing. Getting back to work I tune out the television for a while until one of the first regulars through the doors happens to speak up and let out a startling 'What the fuck?!'. Since this came from the mouth of the man everyone calls the Preacher I know to turn immediately and see what has him so upset. I watch the interrupted broadcast with a slack jaw, I know a bit about spirits living in and attacking this city but my regulars are normal people, most of them couldn't even see the hellhounds when they attacked. For these two spirits to show themselves on city wide television I know something big is about to happen. I am fast approaching my 'enough is enough' point with this city. When I was little and the only strange stuff was centered around my sister I could deal with that, but now that it seems to be all over this city and every time I turn around... this new mother is seriously beginning to consider relocation. 830 | |

| Site Interaction Phase I - New Direction (Heavenly Manifestation Arc) Location: SaiCity, Future Realm Spirits around the city talk about The Pillars. The message reaches the rich and the poor. Gangs, groups and small organizations of spirits are interested in the new developments. A lot of them wonder if the broadcast is real or if it was a hoax. Many spirits that were comfortable in life are skeptical, but the crazy ones... they buy into the hype 100%. The city makes precautions. The broadcast is viewed as a warning. The security of the city and city officials increase because of that. The council members are retreated to a secret place to privately (and safely) meet on the issue. - Zasyn Jin answers Commissioner Jyn. "They will attack from the south west corner of the city. The entire south west corner... I am leaving now, thank you for your cooperation."He addresses Izumi. "Thank you for the water, young lady. We have a lot of work ahead of us." The monks take the water with them. They quickly go to the door, and exit, running out into the rain. The status report comes from the control center. The guy on the phone relays the information to Commissioner Jyn. "There were two demons picked up entering the barrier, but we lost track of them. The barrier is back online now, sir. There is no indication that there are any spirits inside the City Metro barrier. Our defense grid is back online, so if they are inside the Metro, they'll be filled with holes. We will be able to track spirits within East City with the secondary barrier.... Reports show the CMB was not taken down by force. Right now the engineers are looking for answers... We are in the process of issuing orders to the police forces. We're asking for all officers to be put on active duty status... Our cameras have already picked up abnormal activity in streets and building complexes. We are trying to gain control of what few cameras (Psi Voila) are in the Lower Commons... We do not have estimates on the number of internal threats and it is scattered around the city. The mayor is on the line... would you like me to transfer him, sir?"Spirits transform in broad daylight (or rain light). Not a lot of people are outside because of the weather. The hunt starts and unlucky people who are outside are attacked. Gangs of spirits take to the streets looking for easy targets. Property is attacked too. Cars are flipped and spirits just do whatever the hell they want to. Other spirits in apartment complexes, etc, attack other people randomly in their buildings. Rain and lightning continues and adds to the apocalyptic scene. It wouldn't be easy for the city forces to cover the entire city. All cops are paged to be on standby. All actively patrolling cops get assignments to report to Gothstone, Northern Heights, Gunsyhne or East City. Assignment depends on what area they're close to. The reason is emergency peace keeping efforts. Future 911 calls tell the dispatchers where officers needed to go. Division 12 wait on their orders. - A group of demons (6) dressed like human thugs see what Nagi did. They walk up and surrounding him. They are all vaspires. "Hey, bro. What's your problem? You heard the people. Norms are the enemy, why are you attacking spirits?"
"Maybe we should kick his ass and teach him a lesson."
"You got perdy lips, boy!"- Imorte and Krys hover in the air over the city in their fire bubble. Imorte talks to The Leviathan and Rayje telepathically. "Ok, let's start!"The Leviathan stands in the air at the border of the city with Marcos in the same place they were at. He looks at Marcos. "It's time for us to move." Marcos and The Leviathan start flying into the city. Rayje stands in the forest with her arms folded. Tiamat stands beside her with her fan covering her face. A massive army of Yokai and lesser demons is in front of them. "Time to go! Let's go! Move it, move it! Everyone get their asses to the city!"-------------------------- @ kaz: good question. if it wasn't proposed in the infrastructure before the saga began (i.e. someplace i woulda seen it) they'd be up the river. i'm guessin they can produce sandbags and stuff using sand and bags... i didn't think your company was that type of company. the places where you built up would prolly have better foundation work, etc. you can try housing citizens in your buildings (i think you made like a ymca thing or something. it should hold a lot of ppl).
@ Skiou: you threw me off a lil. i had already dropped my second post with the ppl there, so i cant really reply to you if you put yourself there before the monks every arrive xD it'd be like me going back in the past and re writing history xD dun worry about it tho. i think my second post automatically replies to ur first post @_@ so we might be good. but you might have to ask again if you really need to know where that bathroom is!

| | It had been quite some time since I had gone anywhere since I had been hurt. Though I knew that the demon that possessed me was there to protect me should I ask it, I was still wary. I hadn't even gone to work, calling in sick many times. It was hard to lose a friend for me that I had had for a time. My emerald eyes would glance around at the walls around me, then to a window- the rain was pounding and there was lightning and thunder. Was I still okay to be doing this sorts of thing? A low sigh would escape my lips before I would slowly stand up and walk to the door. It was time that I get out of the house for a day. Maybe that would cheer me up?
I would move through the door as my possession was thinking about speaking with me. I was finally just leaving my room, but for all he knew, I was just moving away and then turned to where my mother was sitting in her chair. I could hear the television was on the news, mostly about the weather. I seemed to pause in a moment of wondering if I should talk to her. Another low sigh flew from my lips and I walked towards the chair, listening to the news as I was walking towards her. I was about within range when I saw the screen- the news anchors and security blasted back. My eyes widened as I stopped in my tracks.
"Well, that looks interesting Sakura. Should we head over there?"
I was terrified, however. That previous blast- the one used by the songbird- had hurt me much more psychologically then physically, something the bird herself had healed. I didn't know what to do- just like that night. It was also raining, just like that night. I would have to pull myself together though as Ryota must have forgotten the entire thing. After all, he was centuries old, such an event would likely not even effect him. He seemed to be looking at me within myself- at something only he could see. I would place a hand on my head and then got close to my mother.
"I'm going out Mom. I'll be careful and have Dawson drive. I want to go and get a few new dresses."
My mother would simply wave me away. Well, that was an improvement. I would smile lightly and move towards the door before Dawson got it first, opening it as he seemed to not want to do this. I would simply place a hand behind my head as I moved out and waited for him to get the car. Twice lightning flashed and thunder boomed. Yet... as I looked towards the forest, something caught my eye. Figures in the sky... I would look at the car as it came up, walking to it after Dawson came to me, with an umbrella. I would slip into the car and looked down as we started out.
"Um...Dawson, could we go towards the forest? Please?"
There was a nod, but I knew that he didn't want to do that. I would turn on the tv that was in the limo and watched it- it had been a few minutes since mom's tv, so I wondered if the one who blasted in was still on. I tuned into the part where the kitten blasted someone with fire, killing them. I would listen as one of two new people affirmed that they were the...Pillars or something like that. I would raise my eyebrow before Ryota seemed to have spoken up.
"Oh fuck... we are so boned... I hope those two ain't who I think they are."
I would wonder what he meant as I would go back to the t.v., as I wondered what was going on. I seemed to have missed the most important part- many spirits might have, actually. I was worried for the rest of it. What was this, a joke for the spirits? My eyes narrowed as I would look down at my hands. They were shaking as though I were cold, and that might be so. I would close my eyes before pulling out some Gothic style gloves and pull them onto my hands as I would narrow my eyes ahead. I may not be able to fight, but I could heal. Yes, that would be it... and Ryota could protect those coming back to get healed. Of course, Dawson would likely run away- I knew that he was a coward in face of such things.

Several of the other security chiefs appear via holo projections to attend the meeting. Some of them are rather unsettled and reporting that riots and random attacks are taking place all around the city. Knowing that we will need to act quickly and decisively, I issue the standing order to my forces to protect neutralize all threats to the humans in all vital areas. "Crystal!" She steps forward, "Yes, Mr. Prince." Her phone rings and she silences it. I control my scowl to issue new orders to her. "Get a message to the news stations on TV as well as over the Realm 2.0 systems. Issue a statement to the demons..." I pause for a moment. "Why the hell would we help the humans though? What have the humans done to help us?" The Den IT Specialist turns to me and raises his hand, "Ex - excuse me, Mr. Prince. I don't mean to interrupt you, but the City Metro Police Special Division is trying to gain access to our cameras here in the Commons. What would you like to do?" One of the security chiefs speaks up and says, "Sir, you could speak with them. Perhaps, find out if they have any plans to help the people in The Commons or even the spirits who do not wish to join with the demons. If they choose to persecute them further then you will know which side to ally yourself with."
Nodding to the security chief, I actually really like that idea. "Den Tek, can you reroute our surveillance cameras around the district to here? Also, make sure that they have working sound." The IT Specialist nods to me and begins working. While he is doing that, I focus on the map and isolating certain parts of the district that to me aren't worth saving. The video feed comes up and access is given to Division 12 while I am issuing orders to my security teams, "Here are your orders. Mobilize your Neutralizer teams. Any demon that kills humans is to be eliminated. If we Gatherers in the area, collect the bodies. All R'Churs, you have full green lights within The Commons. Units in East City, safeties off, round in, hold fire. You shoot only if in lethal danger. Move defense teams to our buildings and start evacuating people from danger zones to our structures. As you can see on the map, we currently don't have the resources or manpower to handle all flood zones, so we will focus on the marked locations. Open the Academies and move as many people into them as we can. Get food, clean water, and med supplies ready. Tell the students that they are on duty tonight. We will protect The Commons." The IT Specialist aka "Den Tek" had also provided access to the second half issuing orders to protect the Commons to district channels and broadcasts. Hopefully people would know where to find safety.

| After taking another bite of my burger I set the sandwich back onto its wrapper and reach over, picking up my drink as I glance around at the rest of the people who had fled from the pore weather to get into the restaurant and have a bite to eat or simply escape the rain. The tv's in the restaurant all broadcast the same channel, the news which kept talking about rain that appeared to continue the rest of the day, unfortunately. " This weather sucks. " I grumble lightly to myself after swallowing the bit of chewed up burger. Keeping my gaze fixed on one of the tv's I bring the straw up to my lips and begin to take a sip of the soda inside the cup. After taking a sip I set the drink back onto the table and pick up my burger before taking another bite. As I take another bite and continue to eat my meal I turn my attention away from the tv, since their was nothing but rain in the forecast their was no real reason to keep my attention fixed on the weather, instead it would be best to think of something else, though the only other main thing on my mind at the moment aside from my girlfriend and son is my job, which I knew I would have to get back too soon since my lunch break would be ending fairly soon. With a sigh I glance down at my watch to see what time it happened to be so I would know how much time I had left to enjoy the dry weather inside the restaurant. When I hear the word 'terrorist' come from the tv closest to me I lift my gaze and look to the tv, wonder and fear building with in me as to why the word was mentioned. Looking to the tv I watch as two people come into view, though they were not the normal news broadcasters, instead they were foreign people. Keeping my gaze on the tv, I listen to the two and watch them and as I listen to them I begin to wonder more and at the mention of spirits I frown faintly. " Shit.. " I say, casting my gaze away from the tv and glancing around at the other people in the restaurant. It seemed they could see and hear the people on the tv like I could. I began to get a bad feeling in my stomach about what I am hearing and quickly I raise from my seat fast enough to knock it back and onto the ground. Reaching over to the empty seat next to me I grab my coat and slip it on before I make my way out of the restaurant and back to the patrol enforcer I had taken for the day. Once in the enforcer I start it up and put it into gear before pulling out of the parking lot and onto the road. Luckily with the storm raging the amount of traffic that normally drove through the city had been reduced. Pulling onto the road I begin my journey, not sure what is going on I decide to head to HQ to see if Jyn is up to speed and what he wants to do.

| Alexis The first search of the company's database led to nothing more than assurances that every building owned was well insured against flood damage. A fat lot of good that does me now that I am looking for ways to prevent or somehow deal with an impending flood. Combing through the vast and varied resources this highly successful company has at its disposal only turns up crap. We have nothing at the ready to deal with a flood before it happens. The only options we, as a company can offer would be to utilize our own buildings as shelters, try to build up sand bag barriers to protect as much property as possible in the short time we have, and mobilize rescue teams to be ready when the shit hits the fan. All of this information is forwarded to Crystal's phone in response to the text that orders me to stay put here at HQ, most likely a direct order from Psyre himself. Even though the man has changed quite a bit since I first met him, he seems to always retain that big brother mentality that makes him think I need to be protected.
194 Jasper I hadn't even gotten a block away from the Information Center when a large portal opened up in the middle of my lane. Now most people would swerve to avoid some random portal that would lead them god knows where but since I work for Mr. Prince and know him to be a bit on the dramatic side, I am led to assume that this is his manifestation and that I am meant to drive into it. Of course my assumption is correct as the portal leads directly to the parking area to the side of the Den building. Since I have arrived at my destination I waste no time in jumping out of the car and jogging to the door. Once inside I shake the rain from my hair and proceed toward the din of voices where I figure everyone is gathered for the security meeting. I do hope that the voices aren't a sign that I am late in arriving, surely not, I couldn't be late after traveling by portal, could I? Entering the room I get there just in time to hear the second half of Psyre's orders and curse myself mentally for not arriving sooner. It doesn't really matter now that I would not even be in the Lower Commons yet had that portal not been sent for me. Since I was not being directly addressed I would remain silent until I am. 237 | |

| | The emergency broadcast system kicked in all over a the TV tower had made sure everyone could see this, and the demon's she had seen before had shown themselves on it. Their words, their threats, their purpose. These were her targets to destroy in order to restore the balance, Izumi was a bit upset by this, but kept her cool as she wasn't suppose to get herself worked up, it went against everything that she had grown up learning. A Hiramoto clan member is one who is always centered and cool and under control in order to handle situations of all kinds.
This was definitely a high code red alert and Izumi glanced toward's Jyn who was busy on the phone and she was left, after she had given the water to the monks, they didn't stay for long soon after telling Jyn of where the attack was coming from and they quickly left. Izumi would look to Jyn, rather a bit worried about what was going on. Hell was going to be brought to hell and there was going to be a lot of fighting and death on both sides. She would keep quiet as she would wait for Jyn to speak up.

| | Phase I - New Direction ... Time: Day ... Location: Future Realm, Division 12 HQ
I nod respectfully while keeping the phone to my ear offering verbal thanks to the monks as they take their leave to make their own preparations. With their arrival, we had an upper hand in knowing where to focus our resources preemptively. With the arrival of the ‘terrorists’ on TV, I had no doubt in my mind that the monks were on the money with their prediction. I listen carefully to the information that is given to me for the status report, taking in what we knew so far in the early stages of this possible crisis. I was a bit relieved that the barrier was back up, but very unsettled that it had vanished with no explanation.
With the monks heading out, it was time for me to move as well. I look to the security guards and order, “secure the HQ and prepare internal countermeasures.” The HQ security forces would make sure that the HQ was safe, while the outward units would focus on the threat outside of the Metro. The receptionist seemed lost for words, so I off handedly answer the wet female officer, “public restrooms are down the east hall and to the right. Be quick about it and report to your assigned area.” By this time, someone in security would have scanned them already to verify they were actually cops, which was a little convenient for them. The male and female police officers should have seen the news and heard everything; they would be getting beeps, pages, and or calls any moment with their orders on where to go and what to do. Given their local, they would probably be called to secure residential areas in nearby East City. So long as the barrier was active, the core of the city, City Metro, would be safe from outside and inside threat.
I would begin walking with purpose towards the western wing of the building and towards the elevator with the motor cage as my target. The controller continues to speak in my ear and as he speaks, I transfer the audio to my earpiece, which I retrieve from my pocket and place into my ear. In passing, I ask Izumi to follow me and contact Ingel and my, or rather -his- now, team to meet me in the motor cage and prepare to deploy to and scout out the south western region of the Lower Commons; I would be leading this fight from the front lines.
I would then return my attention to the voice over the earpiece, hearing that the mayor was on the phone. “No,” I answer when asked to transfer. I felt the last thing I needed to do was waste time giving a report to a politician; “advise that I am very busy, give him a status report, answer all of his questions and tell him that the situation is being investigated with a high level of urgency.” I would be allotted a small window of time to think as the message is patched through to the major. With the target area being the Lower Commons, I knew that chances were we wouldn’t have a lot of equipment set up other than the border that surrounded the city. With that in mind, I issue the order to the controller, “send out armed air drones immediately and search all the way to the south western edges of the forest. I want to know if anything his happening in that part of the city, in the fields beyond the city, or in the forest.” After that order is issued and confirmed, I am updated that the police were in the process of mobilizing to the streets and answering emergency calls. Things had started to get bad already.
As I near the elevator, my gaze shifts to the window as I emit a “tsk” along with “what shitty weather for this.” I would allow Izumi or one of the guards to summon the elevator as I continue to listen to the command center who advises that the Psi Voli Corporation was becoming proactive in mitigating complications by mobilizing their resources. An audio patch is played for me and I am able to understand their efforts. I felt it was nice that a corporation was actually trying to do something to assist civilians rather than trying to protect its buildings and assets. Since resources would be run thin, I would not opt to have central command issue assistance so them; they seemed capable of what they were attempting to do.
Once the elevator arrives, I walk into it and turn with my back to the rear of the elevator. I would expect Izumi to enter in with me. When she did, I would give a soft grin and confess, “I’m leaving it up to you to keep me safe, babe.”

~Phase I - New Direction~ There is a loud crack of thunder that shacks the window followed by the roar of the rain as it comes down. The half of the slender frame of my nude body rest on the left side of Seiki’s body with an arm across his chest locking in under his own, my smooth thigh drape over his torso with a leg wrapped between his, and my head rest on his shoulder as my long hair fans out across the remaining part of the bed. My eye opens slightly to look at the rain running down the window as there is another flash of lightning with crack of thunder. I groan in complaint as my eye closes and I bury my face into Seiki’s neck, snuggling closer to him as I protest the ideal of getting having to get up. I am still sleepy from late night, the covers feel soft, I am nice and warm with Seiki as my pillow, and I didn’t even miss not having my stuff rabbit with me right now. Even if I wasn’t still sleepy I wouldn’t want to get out of bed right now. I don’t have class today and I wouldn’t go with it raining like this anyway. I don’t even think I would get out of bed even if the apocalypse was coming and a big meteor was going to fall on the city and blow everything up… ok maybe I would get out of bed for something like that but I wouldn’t be happy about it.

| | There was one thing, however, that I did not know Dawson had done. He had heard everything that I had, because I had forgotten to close the screen. If anything, the ride seemed to have become more hesitant, in a way, more like an elderly person driving. Dawson was actually young, from the typical butler- 25 years of age. I would look around quietly as rain poured down the windows, silently wondering where the change of pace came from as we entered Gothstone,the place that I had lost the song bird after her devastating attack. The memories stung me hard as I placed a hand over my heart. It was hard to have everything flood back vividly- the sound had done more damage to my internal ear structure then anything, Ryota taking most of the 'physical' damage for me. Still, a sonic attack like that had destroyed the area- the park and part of the building. I was just lucky that no one thought that I had done all that.
"Sakura... c-can I ask why we are going towards the forest?"
I would looked over at Dawson and tilted his head slightly, wondering what he meant. I would then remember what I had let him 'listen' to and then I had an idea. I did like to watch those Gothic anime sometimes. So it was rather simple how I would exsplain this.
"Oh, I got a text from one of my friends. He said that the animators of The Pillar anime I watch were going to come to the forest for ideas for the next season. You know, because of all the rumors that we have. I wanted to meet them and thank them for the great show."
"Ohh! Then after a few minutes we can go get cloths, right?"
Dawson was looking at me from the mirror and I would give him an affimative nod. His driving would then pick up as he seemed to have calmed down. He was so gullible sometimes... oh well, this would work for now. though I might have Ryota protect him if he was attacked by demons or spirits. I called them demons, but I knew that most others called them spirits. Oh well, they all ended up in the same category at this point- all of them trying to kill off humanity. I would look at Gothstone again and a serious look came over my face. I needed to find a way to help people without my real identity being known. Not to mention Ryota and me working together would seem rather strange to any holy men around. they might even try to kill me or exorcise Ryota.

The security team prepares the building to go into secure mode. The guys in the security room save video files of the wet, hot chick (Nikki) to watch later xD. "Zoom in! Zoom in!"
"Later man! Later! The worlds about to end."
"That's not important! Nice-o body!"-- The controller reroutes the Mayor to get his information from the command center. Central command connects a secured feed for the City Council to know what is going on. They send out aerial drones (basic air plane looking things no bigger than a car) from the City Metro to go to the Forest. Pilots control the drones from Realm flight simulators in central command. "It's 25 miles to the city edge... Eta on the drones is 15 minutes to the edge of the city. We'll stream audio video the entire trip. Over and out."The command center contact Psi Voila under the City Police name. "Thank you for your peacekeeping efforts. Terrorists are reporting an attack to the South West area of the lower commons. Please concentrate evacuation efforts in the south west region of the lower commons. Thank you."-- @ ingel A random street gang of demons see the Enforcer driving near them. "Hey... there's someone there..."
"Ha, it's a bad day to be driving on the streets. Check this shit out. Earth... break and rise up!"The demon crouches and puts his hand to the ground {Jagged}. A kanji symbol burns into the ground and produces thick ten foot rock protrusions up from the ground. The rocks come up in the gront in front of the Enforcer. The vehicle would flip if he didn't move out the way in time. @ nagi The street gang of vaspires wait for Nagi's answer (omg twilight!). "Eh... no answer?"They circle around him. One of the members of the gang looks annoyed becuase Nagi didn't answer them fast enough. "What's wrong? Cat's got your tongue?

| | The security heads having received their orders nod and issue commands to their subordinates before I hear the incoming transmission from the police command. I repeat back as I look at the map to adjust any strategies, "Southwest section of The Commons. Are you sending support to help the people here? My company is doing what we can, but we do not have unlimited supplies to protect the entire district from the flood or the demons?" Isolating certain sections, I start planning on how to try and funnel the problems away from our buildings in that area to try and keep the humans safe. I don't even know why I'm wasting so much time helping these damn humans aside from the fact that those who have nothing are extremely loyal to those who provide them with anything and when this is over, I plan to provide them with much, so that their loyalty comes to me. Then I will show them the most beautiful dark paradise. First tho, I must keep from seeing the district wiped out. "You heard the report. We're focusing our efforts on evacuating the Southwest region. Tell the Academies in Quadrants 9 & 10 of Sectors H & I to prepare for heavy influx of civilians. Also alert, Sectors K & L as well. Sector J should be used as a defense buffer with sandbags and security forces to protect the passages. East City units, protect our primary holdings, but move to protect The Commons. The police will handle the rest there." Turning my attention back to the viewing monitors, "We will grant you access to some of our surveillance systems so you can stay abreast of what's going on here. I need to be placed in contact with your units here in the Commons, so we can coordinate a joint defensive. Also, I need you to tell your men not to fire on innocent spirits or specials. Agreed?"

| | As spirits were coming out of hiding, some attacking and some defending mortals, the normal route to the forest became impossible, even for someone with Dawson's ability of driving. He had no choice but to take an alternative route, which would take them through East City if the streets permitted it. He turned slightly as he prepared to make a turn.
"Sakura, we're gunna have to change course. There's too much-"
"It's okay, Dawson, just go any way that you need to."
A smile was painted on my face and seemed to make him much calmer then when he had to start his maneuvering. But I wasn't surprised, not with what Ryota had said. If those two were who they really said they were and who Ryota thought they were... then I may have to start helping people in the city. It was still raining, so it was hard to see, but it didn't take long until we had reached streets that were not to Dawson's liking. And it was then that I saw a group ahead, surrounding a person.
"Dawson, I want to help that person. Let me out and I'll help him, you just stay in the car."
The man turned as the car came to a screeching car halt as Dawson turned to me with serious eyes. But I didn't let him talk, I was out of the car faster then he could lock the door. I knew that the gang and that surrounded boy would have noticed me by now, so I would simply summon out Ryota from my body, the summon landing and drapping his cape over me as he would smirk- Dawson was unable to see him.
"Oh my, lookie lookie. A gang of weaklings surrounding one man. Are we going to help him, Sakura?"
Of course he said it quietly. The demon that was bound to me stood at seven feet tall and had blood red hair. The crimson hair had horns on either side where a normal human's ears would be. His eyes were a dull gold color, and he had two strips running up his cheeks. He wore fancy cloths from the demon realm, including a cape that was tattered at the bottom. Of course, we could both see that the one I wanted to help was not at all just human. He had taken a rather offensive stance, but a whole circle of these things against one? Madness to those that simply take one the gang. But I was there to help if need be.

| | Phase I - New Direction (Heavenly Manifestation Arc)... “Hmmm…” I hum lightly as I light on my back. I felt Natsuki’s warm body against mine, and in these moments of cuddling before I would actually have to wake up, I felt as if all was right with the world. I knew today would be a great day and that nothing could possibly go wrong. My arm is around Natsuki’s slender body with my palm wrap about and resting on her back. I rub her back softly as my head shifts to bring my lips to her forehead giving her a soft peck. “Good morning,” I murmur lightly, not sure if she were awake yet or not. The rain drops and light thunder made me want to stay in bed even more. I felt I could loosen up on my training just a bit today; I rationalize to myself that there was no need to go all out every day. I knew that my mom would be up by now; it was kind of hard to hide things when Natsuki stayed over in my room with the door closed and locked, but we had come in here after my mom had gone to bed anyways. After fighting the urge to lie down for the entire day, I finally start to shift beneath Natsuki. I apologize, “I have to go prepare breakfast or my mom’ll come in here and demand it.” Slowly I untwine myself from Natsuki’s body and sit up in the bed looking over her nude form with a grin. Butt naked myself, I move from the covers to the ground in front of my bed. Reaching down, I step into a pair of blue superhero boxers I had worn the previous night and reach down, picking up my shirt from a pool of clothing in the floor. I pull the shirt over my head and walk towards the door, touching the power button for the visual monitor on the bookshelf by the door on my way out. As I leave the room, the television would come on, with the volume low, and the channel it was on would be playing back the events of the news and reporting on the current condition of the city.
Of course, I would hear or watch none of this as I casually walk towards the kitchen, rubbing my belly and yawning. Making it to the kitchen, I open up the refrigerator and lean in, looking for the eggs and milk. Finding them both, I reach for the eggs, carrying that carton in my right hand and grabbing the milk in my left while holding the door open with my foot. I move and allow the fridge to close and I set the eggs and milk on the counter, moving for the next ingredients for breakfast. It is at that time that there is a ring at the doorbell. I chime out “got it” so my mom wouldn’t think she would have to get up. Walking to the door, I open it, noticing two males standing at the door, one with horns and the other with fangs. Run of the mill post adolescents, they were dressed in the usual attire of jeans, tee shirt and leather jacket, with short black hair and were substantially drenched by the downpour occurring outside. “Good morning!” one of the chaotic males speak, “ready to di…” I interrupt, “no thank you, we bought some last week,” and close the door. The two males outside blinks and look to one another before speaking, “no he didn’t just…” The other coaxes, “man… just calm down. We’re going to kill him and everyone in the house for our points.” The first male argues, “but you heard the chick. He’s always watching and we just got served.” The latter corrects, “-you- just got served. .. now let’s knock again. This time, just blast him away or something. Who greets good morning before you kill someone?” By this time, I had made it back into the kitchen, when there is another annoying ring at the doorbell. I sign rolling my eyes hoping that they didn’t fully wake up, or piss off Natsuki, since they probably didn’t want to speak with her this morning.

| When I hear my phone ring I reach into my pocket and pull it out, glancing at the caller ID to see who it was before pressing the button to receive the call as I bring it up to my ear, " Ingel here. " I say before falling silent as I listen to Izumi as she begins to speak. While remaining silent I listen to the orders being passed down from Jyn, " Alright, I'm on my way. " As the line goes dead I hang up and glance down at my phone for a moment, though I had gotten orders to meet up with Jyn and the others in the motor cage I can't help but think about Trinity and the baby and their safety. Before I could begin to call Trinity something catches my eye ahead of me and I lift my gaze from my phone and back to the road as large rocks burst from the ground, jutting up into the air. Dropping my phone I place my hand onto the steering wheel of the enforcer as I press down onto the break peddle as hard as I could. Since the enforcer wasn't coming to a stop I begin to turn the steering wheel and try to cut the car around to the side to try and get around the rocks in the road, though with the lack of traction the enforcer ends up cutting to the side and sliding across the remainder of the road and slam into the rocks jutting out of the road sideways. As the enforcer smashes into the rocks it gets launched into the air and flips over the rocks, flipping through the air before it lands on its side on the road. When the enforcer smashed into the rocks I closed my eyes and began to silently pray and thank the inventor of the seat belt. Though it was a jolting ride the seat belt helped keep me relatively safe. As the enforcer came to a stop finally, though on its side I opened my eyes and glanced out the windshield for a moment before reaching down and unbuckling the seat belt so I could climb out of the enforcer.

After the closing the elevator doors and it starts to move, I would lean back against the elevator and sigh lightly. My gaze would drop slightly as my back came to the glass of the elevator; this suit was stuffy… I needed to get back into my normal attire. Things had gotten pretty tense all of a sudden. I knew the old heads were watching how I would react to this situation, but I figured they were probably glad the heat was off of them. If something were to happen as soon as I took office like this, it would show a direct correlation to my leadership abilities; that would be troublesome and might even cost me my job. Speaking back to Izumi, I admit, “well, maybe it’s easier in the field then it is in the command center. “ My gaze shifts up and to the doors the elevator as I comment, “maybe I’m not suited for this after all.” Looking back to her, I comment, “Maybe this time around I’ll fall out of the sky and in your arms.” I remember the stressed conditions in which we first met; she had literally fell into my arms from nowhere.

~Phase I - New Direction~ A smile comes to my face as I feel a soft peck on forehead follow by the light tone of his voice saying good morning. My eyes open slightly when he starts to shift around, I groan as he informs me that he needs to get breakfast ready. I turn over onto my back let him up, and pull an arm over my eyes to shield them from any light as the other lay across the bed. I turn away from the monitor after Seiki turns it on. Not really hearing it, I start to fall asleep till the door bell rings. My eyes open wide before I hear Seiki saying that he is getting it and my eyes close. I really hate it when people come by in the morning. I can hear Seiki tell them we bought some last week and shut the door. I was just about asleep again when the door bell rings once again. My eye twitches as I set up from the bed. My feet come to the floor and I rise like a zombies. Opening the dresser a few times before finding a pair of panties that had be in hiding and one of Seiki’s dress shirts. After stepping into the panties and pulling them up with a soft pop, my arms slides into the shirt as I walk out of the room making my way to the front door in a sleepy haze where I forget to button the shirt. “I got it…” The door is flung open, with the sound of a semi automatic pistol, that was pulled out of hammer space, going off two times followed by me yell, “He said we don’t need any!” The door is closed as fast as it was open. I had a feeling that I done something out of order there…. “Dumbass sells-men….” Walking into the living room, I look into the kitchen at Seiki. “I took care of it babe. Can you make me some coffee?” I come to set down on the couch as I make the request before falling over to lie down to watch the monitor. It looked like it was the news but there are some funny looking people doing it. I turn the volume up so I can hear it better.

| Site Interaction Phase I - New Direction (Heavenly Manifestation Arc) Location: SaiCity, Future Realm @ Psyre The Division Controller doesn't confirm or deny the existence of spirits. "Thank you for your cooperation. Do not be concerned for civilians. The police will do their best to protect the lives of the innocent. Once again, thank you. SaiPD out." The Division keeps streaming the same information to Psi Voila that it does the other helping corporations and police to help their peace keeping efforts. (They wouldn't have access to the command center's restricted information and what was going on there.) - The drones fly through the horrible weather. They make it to the border of the city. The visibility is bad and very limited, but the sensors don't pick up anything out of the ordinary. Suddenly, the sensors go off as if there are a large number of spirits in the vicinity. The drones register a staggering amount of spiritual activity that maxes out the warning levels. The command center monitors show the visual that the drone's transmit plus a red bar grid at the bottom of the screens (with various other meters) showing spiritual activity levels. The controllers are shocked by the amount of spiritual activity. "Wow... I've never seen readings like this..." "Do you think the weather is affecting the drone's readings?" "No... that can't be. But... where are they? I don't have a visual to explain these readings. They should be visible by now." Lightning flashes. For that instant the controllers see a sea of demons under the drones. It was mistaken for the terrain. Lightning flashes again and shows another glimpse of the demons masses. "That's... impossible... they're so many!" "Distance!?" "5 miles from the city. They have forward units that are approaching fast! Oh no! The city border sensors have picked up readings less than two miles away! Sending visual feed to supplementary monitors!" "We'll... never get forces there in time!..." "Alert the commissioner and all captains!" - @ Nagi & Saku The gang is caught off guard by the remark. The words don't make them happy. "No one talks to us, like that... I don't care if you've got a point!" "Yeah, I don't like this guy's face!..." "(He's got a nice ass though.)" "Yeah, let's kick his ass!" They transform too. They bulk up and get a bit more muscular and their fangs and nails grow out. One notices something coming. A car screeches to a halt and a little girl jumps out. "Huh? What's with her?" "Who cares? Kill everyone. We're in this for us, fuck them!" The 6 vaspires attack. For nagi: two throw nail lances at his legs and lower back and one flies up, chants a fire spell, and throws down a large fireball at him. For Sakura, two run to surround her and the other chants, slams his hands to the ground and creates quicksand under her. @ Ingel 4 gang members watch the Enforcer flip. The guy who did the spell laughs. "Damn! Am I good, or am I good?" "Oh look, he's still alive! Humans are like roaches, aren't they?" They stand around him and see that he is a cop. One runs towards him. "Hey officer!" He tries to kick Ingel across his face as he crawls out of the enforcer. (( sorry, i didn't get to post until the end of the work day! i actually stayed late to send this off! if i forgot anything, i'll fix it in my next post. )) -------------------------- synopsis: - active disruptions in the streets and residential areas - hidden spiritual activity in the forest about to move - div12 responding to the threat - city police mobilized to assist against threats - general public confusion - big number of demons getting close to the city (( short post. remember the city's big as hell xD http://h2h.site90.com/images/h2hmapgrid2.jpg . no posting rules. )) if i didn't respond to u, my bad and lemme know.

| | I suppose that I had forgotten to actually summon out Ryota, so I would use that ability now as I placed one hand out and used [Disconnect], so that Ryota would materialize. His dull golden eyes would narrow at the people that were coming at Sakura and a light chuckle slipped from his lips.
"Looks like the possessed pups came out to play with us Sakura... heh heh... Now Feel My Wrath of the Realm of Darkness!"
The foolish little children would feel the power of the spirit realm as the Demon Arts would have a wave of mouths and eyes wash over at them from the palm of his hand. The mouths would have fangs, or human teeth, or would resemble vaspire teeth. the eyes were of all colors, from ruby red to sapphire to emerald. They all shared two common features, though, and that was they were all bloodshot and locked onto the targets. He had just unleashed [Spiri-Wave], and these stupid little morons just came rushing in.
Hopefully they wouldn't make it through, because Sakura would have to rely on Ryota to defend her, since he was the pillar of her defense and offense. She was just a support type, so she would be healing (hopefully, she was trying to get better with the Sakura Shower). The girl dressed in Gothic cloths would just have to wait for the result of the spell- and it was then that quicksand started to grow around her, her eyes widening.
"Ryota!"
He would turn to Sakura and curse under his breath and jumped back to her and grabbed her arm, pulling her out of any quicksand that had gotten near her. He would then take her to the top of a building as she would watch for the results and Sakura and Ryota panted as Ryota was the one doing all the physical work and Sakura was scared more then she had thought she would be.

| | Phase I - New Direction (Heavenly Manifestation Arc)... As feared, I hear Natsuki announce that she had the door. As I start mixing the eggs together for omelets, I sign and shake my head, murmuring to myself, “I wonder if she took her gun with her.” I hear the door flung open and a cocking noise, and with that, I confirm that she had in fact taken her gun with her. I give a light sigh as my head lowers and I shake it from side to side, admitting, “It sucks to be them.” Luckily for them, the door is closed yet again and they are left standing there in a stupor. “Um…” the first one says as he looks to the other, “what just happened.” The other twitches slightly annoyed as he lowers his head and informs, “You just got served again.” An argument ensues on just who got served and in what manner before they both comes to the conclusion that no one was served and both of the people inside had lost their mind.
Hearing that she took care of it, I speak back, “thanks, babe.” When the coffee is requested, I reply back with a “hai” and move over towards the cabinet to get the can of ground beans down. I listen to the news from the kitchen as Natsuki turns it up. I pause for a moment as I hear bits and pieces; it sounded like something was up. There was talk about spirits on TV, which was weird because normal people weren’t supposed to know about such things. Before I can fully devote audible attention to the television, I hear a loud crashing noise and turn just in time to see the front door fly past the kitchen doorway.
“Who the fuck do you think you’re pointing a gun at!?” comes the angered tone in somewhat of a growling voice as he retracts an arm that had previously been consistent of molten wood. It would be evident that this male was tainted with some type of plant based spirit while his friend seemed to burst out in spikes and quills much like a hedgehog.

| " Fucking damn it. " I say with a groan as I climb out of the wrecked enforcer, " What the hell was-" I continue but end up getting cut off by someone yelling. When I hear the yelling I lift my gaze and glance to the one yelling for an officer. Seeing the person running for me, my first thought is that it is someone coming to help, and that would be nice. Though no such thing would come my way at the moment. Instead as the man comes closer he begins to attack me and as he swings his leg out to kick me I quickly roll to the side away from him before coming to rest on my back. Coming to rest on my back I reach down to the holster on my hip holding one of my Hakaisha pistols. Taking hold of the pistol I quickly pull it from its sheath and bring it up, taking aim at the man that just tried to kick me. Since no sane or normal person would run right up on an officer and try to kick them I knew this person was either a demon or someone that had it out for the police so as I brought the pistol up I followed through with the most logical coarse of action as I took aim for the man's chest and give the trigger two quick squeezes, firing two rounds from the pistol both aimed for the man's chest in the hopes that it would bring him down.

Signaling to Den IT to cut the feed and send the cameras back to the surveillance mode, he brings up the cameras that we are given access to and while I want to cut the city's access to our cameras, I find that their cameras are of great help to us. "They have no intentions of helping The Lower Commons. Jasper, take a team of agents and scout out the incoming wave. Stay hidden as best as possible and get out of there at the first sign of major trouble." I nod to Crystal for her to open a portal to take Jasper and the team of agents that had arrived. Snipers would begin opening fire from their perches at varied distances. All rifles would have sound and flash suppressors on. With a green light, they are going for kill shots only. Units are deployed and the Academies are opened to accept fleeing citizens. They are barricaded to hold out and serve as bastions for the citizens. They are instructed not to open fire unless attacked. I needed them to conserve ammunition and manpower. I had units out handling the fighting. The TekSearchers are hard at work trying to back up research and data to the main servers at the Tower in City Metro and the secret servers at an undisclosed location. The Myztix are called to my position and I tell Den Tech to prepare a video loop to play throughout the Lower Commons District's various TV and billboard screens. The message is simple:
"People of The Commons, do not turn on one another. The City Government has abandoned you and now a new power wishes to use you and for what? To help them and then discard you. I have never left you and even now, I am here with you trying to protect The Commons. These intruders have attacked you time and time again. Unite and fight for what is ours!" {Empowered Mode activated}
The loop, if successfully activated would play on repeat throughout the Lower Commons to inspire and motivate both humans, hitos, possessed types, and even demons who don't want to be manipulated and screwed over by yet another absentee landlord.
385/2485/7 Interaction: Snipers opening fire around District on evil demons attacking humans or good demons. Psi Voli NPCs trying to create sandbag barriers against the flood Psi Voli Academies are taking in refugees Empowered Mode used/requested via looped video feed in the Commons only

Wynn Trump sits in his office after watching the news broadcast and thus far, business was still going as usual. Primarily b/c those who are already here, don't want to go outside in the storm, so they would just remain inside, which is good for Wynn b/c boredom would set in and they would continue gambling. Security is raised to high alert in case of any... unruly patrons thinking that the Vault to score some points. Still, Wynn had superiors to report to in times like these, so he picks up his phone and nods to one of his suit wearing bodyguards to close the door. Once the door is closed, the other bodyguard continues to monitor the security monitors while Wynn calls HQ to get further orders on whether the Black Wing Syndicates wants to close up shop or remain open and also whether or not they even give a damn about the new threat to the city.

| | I sat on top of the building, looking across the water. The cove had been the only point of reference for weird stuff going on. What else was I to do now, other than sit and wait for something to happen. I crossed my legs while leaning one of my elbows on them, giving myself a way to be as lazy as possible. Blah, what a drag this was. Everyone went back to the future without me, those bastards. Not my fault I got shot out of the sky and trampled. Man, what I wouldn’t give for a hot shower and a cup of hot tea right now. Speaking of hot team, I wonder how that gorgeous tea girl from gothstone was doing right about now. I could definitely go for some human go time right about now. Sheesh..
My eyes moved across the water of the cove, waiting for something to happen. At least the water was beautiful during the sunset. Maybe I would have to go back to that little village and get some more info or something.. tomorrow. What a pain in the rear this was going to be. Why couldn’t someone just come pick me up or something? I don’t want to be stuck in this smelly place any more.. I need a suit, shower, and a bottle of jack. Emphasis on the bottle of jack. And to brush my teeth, cause that was really bothering me. I had so many things to do when I get back, starting with my nails, that I my schedule would be busy for the next month just in upkeep and getting back to being clean.

| | | The others transformed to confirm what Nagi had figured from the start. He knew they were all possessed, he just didnt know with what. Now he could clearly see that they were all vaspires. Not that it concerned him any on just what they were, cause they were all going to die anyway. But it seemed someone else had come into play. A car had come drifting into the area. At first Nagi assumed it was just some random idiot driver, realizing he had come into the wrong area. This was proven wrong, as a girl stepped out of the car. He could not give her, full attention though so main features of hers were not clearly seen. What he did notice was the demon that she summoned. This put Nagi even more on guard than before. He quickly unlocked his inner power. Thinking that his situation had just gotten far worse. But the gang split up to attack each of them.
"Well that makes this easier." He said as he suddenly dashed away from the spot he was at. He would sprint in the opposite direction of that girl, while chanting. "Dance with the shadow as it brings you into oblivion!" Being faster than the other Vaspires now, if only for a moment. He suddenly turned around. By this time the girl had been ripped out of the quick sand and onto the roof. And that was good cause that entire area was now royally fucked. From underneath him, his shadow rapidly extended out across the entire ground. It stopped right before the car that had pulled up. It then shot up and encased everything in a black shadow, to a 3rd story height. Hopefully this would include every vaspire in the fight, and miss the girl and her demon. Inside the darkened mass the Vaspires would hear a voice ring through the whole thing. "Thank you for supplying...I mean, being, todays mean. Ill be serving Faggot A La Sushi. I hope ill enjoy." He said with a sickening laughter as they are all suddenly bombarded by masses of shadow energy that they can not see for it is all around them. Unfortunately this would include the girl and her demon IF they were caught inside.
The spell would drop once all of the beings inside the space were unconscious. And it would show Nagi sitting on top of a car that was covered in small dents across itself. With his legs folded , and resting his chin on his hand, he would look at all the bodies and smile widely. "Sound the bell, dinner is served."

| | Phase I - New Direction ... Time: Day ... Location: Future Realm, Division 12 HQ
A soft smile comes to my lips as I appreciate, “thank you.” It felt good that she recognized that I was doing well; I had a feeling that the higher ups would complain about the way things were going whether I did a good or bad job. A bit of me started to wonder if I had been set up for something like this that they already knew was coming. Looking up, I notice the blush, as she looked rather cute herself and smile at the statement. “I’m a bit heavy,” I warn her.
It was around that time when the elevator chimed and the doors opened. I also received an update from the engineering with whom I had been interfacing with in the control center. The happiness and soft smiling went away as the gravity of the situation returned in a horrifying manner. The way that the numbers of demons making way towards us was described, it seemed disheartening. Still, there was hope, as the bulk of the enemy forces were still a few miles from the city border. Due to the possibility that there would be another attack from somewhere else, I was weary of sending our entire forces into the fray. But, we also needed to make sure that this huge army of demons was dealt with. As I step out of the elevator into the lower levels, heading to the motor cage, I give the have the city map and enemy reading sent to my phone, opening it in a holographic interactive map. I issue the orders, “prepare the WADB and aim for the center of the enemy forces. We will hit them hard before they reach the city. Also prepare the PADB for payload. Consolidate the patrol forces and mobilize all standby squadrons. The rally point will be set to I/J 11. Keep the Metro forces in place. Advice all captains to be in communications with control and myself.”
My steps continue into the motor cage, which was humming with activity. After my words, the orders would be globally received and the units in standby would already be in motion as I neared my own means of transportation. As I came to the Hummer that served as our squadron’s vehicle, I am greeted by Ted, Tapp and Michael; all of whom would have returned Izumi’s message with an affirmative. I did not see Ingel there, however. Though we joked about him always being the last one to show, this was a serious matter. “Load up,” I give the order, as the three males move into action, each entering into the vehicle. Tapp is at the wheel as the side door opens and I enter in after Ted and Michael. During this process, I ask Izumi, “has Ingel responded back yet?”
465 / 2820 Gave orders to mobilize Division 12 and various weapons of mass destruction and in the process of loading up and shipping out. |

| | I stood up, overlooking that swirling portal that would hopefully take us back to our time. Domen said that it would work. I looked over at him one last time before smiling and diving into it. The feeling would feel weird, cold at first, then warm before my body would shoot into the air. Flying up into the air, I took a look around. Muggy air, a skyline of buildings, noise from the city, and a rainy night!! I was home!!!! I could fly around in circles celebrating, but I had to get over to the Lower Commons. Stopping for a moment to wait for Domen, I noticed the massive amounts of rain.. At least I was already wet. Come to think of it, I may want hot tea delivered to me instead of going out there to get it. The other problem was Domen.. if I had him with me, I didn’t want to take him to a demon hunters shop, or out in the rain. It was, after all, rude of me to put him through that. I would just have to have her deliver it. I had lost my phone in the other realm when I found it to be useless, so I couldn’t do it from here.. The Academy was ready and stocked for the opening term next month, which was actually probably this month. Great.. thankfully, my staff knew to carry on without me as normal if I were to disappear for any length of time. They were fully capable of operating without me there, thank god. That was what it meant to work for me. Come to think of it, I would have a huge to do list to catch up on as soon as possible. “lets go get dry” Moving at full speed south west, the city lights would grow brighter as we neared them. It felt soo good to see electricity, and hear car horns and sirens and all that nice city stuff. I was finally back! Destination : Lower Commons, West Side!

Slowly and ominously, my form rises from the waters of the cove exiting the portal to arrive in this future realm. I was quite displeased at the weather; I had just come from sunny and temperate weather, and now I was in rain. Using my dark powers, I would generate a shield about my form (Dark Barrier) to keep the rain drops from reaching my body further. Previously I had no intentions of coming to this realm so early, but since Sanzon had done well to amuse me earlier, I agreed to come and have tea with him. I trusted that my empire could proceed without me for at least a little while. I come to rise to the side of the lighting spirit; I figured with all of the thunder and lightning moving through the clouds, he would be right at home here. Superficial as ever, the first order of business was to get dry; I assumed one such as himself would not wish to be in tattered clothing on his return; such was fine with me. Considering myself to be immortal, time didn’t really hold much meaning for me, unless I wanted something quickly. I non verbally agree and allow him to chauffer me to our new destination; as his body speeds towards the west, I mobilize and move with him moving at a swift rate of speed myself.

| | A tear drop would appear above my head while watching the demon stay dry in the rain. What a nifty use of power that was. I sometimes used my electricity to carbonate drinks before opening them, and that was fun. I wondered if there was, like, a guideline book for proper ways to put our abilities to use.. I mean, using your dark energy as an umbrella was totally a waste of power, even though it was really cool. Damn demon. I shook my head as we reached the edge of the city. There were flashy sirens across the ground of East city. Was Crime up? This seemed like something that was not in the normal daily dealings of the city, but I ignored checking it out. I needed a shower and it wouldn’t take long for us to reach the south west part of the city. I continued to wonder about the storm, it was massive, and amazing. The lighting going through the sky had me right at home. “light, light, light, light, enlightenment!” My body would twist around, with my arm flinging up to release my own lightning bolt to add to the show. Shortly after leaving my body, it would branch out , causing an imbalance of electrically charged particles that would sizzle and spark across the sky. I loved it! I wish it was like this every day! Minus the rain.. rain sucks. I actually hated being wet, but I would have to deal for now. I wondered if he had anything he wanted to do while here. I mean, there may be supplies or something that I can give him to take back that would make his goals of empirical domination and colonization easier. I wonder if we can take things through that portal.. like medicine and stuff.. and on the other side, I bet the museum would love some of these ancient, priceless coins to put on display.. “eh, Domen.. got anything you wanna do while here?”

The rain continues to pour down. I did not mind the rain, so long as it was not on me. There was something about looking like a drowned rat that did not set well with my pompous air. The drops made odd rippling about the dark barrier as it continues to linger about my form in a protective bubble. While flying over the city, I notice that it was as busy as always; technically it should still be day time, though the clouds and rain made it seem almost like a dark evening. Humans would be at work in the large metal and rock structures they called buildings wasting their lives away for those with power over them. The annoying sound of alarms seemed to be going off within the city; a quick glance towards its center would show an ever present barrier of impressive strength lingering over the city’s heart. It seemed that most of the commotion and movement of the emergency vehicles below us was heading in almost the same direction as we were. As we were heading west, they would be heading south west. As one who didn’t have sensing, I did not sense anything different; to me, there was nothing special about the day other than it was a day where I battled Sanzon and agreed to dine with him. In all, this would be considered our second date by some. Looking ahead, I could see him zealously playing within the skies, confirming that this was probably favorable conditions for him. As the question comes to me, I answer in my usual elaborate manner, not being vague at all as I discourse, “no.”

| | I would hope that I was out of this spell's range, shadows blasting up like a house sized dragon, forming into a dome shape. I placed an arm over my face as I would close my eyes as well- I hoped that Ryota was making sure nothing happened to us, though we were safe, being four stories up. I watched the shadows, wondering if they would consum all their prey, and hoped that Dawson would be alright. Taking my arm away, having looked down to see all that had been happening, my visage would shadow a concerned pallet for Dawson, my lower lips would lightly chomp onto my upper lip. I felt a hand on my shoulder, the familiar weight was, of course, Ryota's hand.
"How sure are you that Dawson survived that ability? I... I don't think that I could stand it if he got hurt. I don't think I could live with myself, involving him in this business that he shouldn't be seeing..."
Dawson was, of course, completely fine with the doors locked. The first charge of the vaspires had been at his charge, Sakura, and the one that she sought to help. He couldn't see Ryota, since he was not spiritually aware, so as he watched, he would wonder at the happenings- most of all, whatever the vaspires were hit with- or dodged something completely- and Sakura suddenly flying up like a rag doll. It would be understandable to a normal human being. He was scared- even as Sakura admitted she was scared, he was likely far more frightened then her. He had never heard of such spirits or ghosts, or whatever was at play here.
"What in the seven hells or however many hells is going on?! Sakura, please get back here quickly, I'm not ready for all of this!"
Location: East City, with Nagi Ooc: Italics are either thoughts or speaking between Sakura and Ryota. dark red is Ryota talking/actions, white is Sakura.
Health: 100% [Sakura] Stamina: 80% Health: 200% [Ryota]
