So... I've noticed that the appearances of those Rank-Up-Magic cards have gone down, since that incident with the "demons" and all. ... I should be relieved, but at the same time, I'm really not. I wish I had a better lead than "the one who apparently made them was seen in another country entirely". That doesn't help me at all.

*Sekka is investigating. Where? Just about anywhere, really. She can be found at the remains of the Momentum reactor, checking out alleyways or places not usually wandered.

... ... or she can be loitering across the street from Labirinto, very specifically there.*

Those cards weird me out, too, for reasons I can't even...totally place. But...Labrys gave one to Yuma? And I think I trust her.

[guardsthestorm]

... I'd heard about that.

I don't know exactly if it's wise to trust whatever Rank-Up-Magic card is given, but on the other hand, he hasn't been acting visibly crazed like the other people who've used them.

You've met this Labrys person I've heard rumors about?

[grimgrimwar]

Mmhm.

We were in a really bad situation and she showed up and basically saved our butts. Then she and I talked a little bit after that.

[guardsthestorm]

... You're lucky. I spent a week trying to find her, but she seemed to vanish before I could. I'd been starting to wonder if she was made up or something to taunt me.

I mean. Good that she saved you and everyone else who got involved in that mess that happened, but it left me with a dead end with my own job.

[grimgrimwar]

Trust me. What I went through to meet her was not lucky.

[guardsthestorm]

That's fair.

Did she. Say anything about what had been happening around here, before those "demons" showed up?

[grimgrimwar]

Like, the Numbers'n'shit?

Nah, not really. She was mostly preoccupied with the demons - although, now that I think about it....huuuh. I guess she's probably got her eyes on the Legendary Numbers...

What's your job, by the way?

[guardsthestorm]

The Legendary Numbers? That's what that apparent Rank-Up-Magic creator in France was after, right?

I have a security job with Noriko's company, mainly. One of the people who got affected by one of those cards attacked her home over it, so I've been investigating into the source of it. ... Otherwise, someone unrelated to her asked for help in this, who prefers to remain anonymous when talking about them.

[grimgrimwar]

Yeah. Apparently. I dunno what happened to it, though.

Oh.

Well, uh. That's all I know about 'em. Aaaand unfortunately, I don't think you're gonna find Labrys or her buddies unless she wants to be found.

::So you're at the Momentum Reactor, which probably looks like a mess, a veritable ghost town with Reiji's men floating in and out. You however, spot a man walks around in fairly nice clothes with a Duel Disk and a Power Tool Dragon toy on his back, looking at the reactor.::

Re: [Event: Reactor]

[guardsthestorm]

*I know that man. I've practiced swords with him.

She... considers a moment, before she approaches*

... What do you think of this mess?

Re: [Event: Reactor]

[mynameis_legion]

Worrisome, especially with one of the individuals involved.

Re: [Event: Reactor]

[guardsthestorm]

Which individual are you talking about?

Re: [Event: Reactor]

[mynameis_legion]

What appears to be a merger of "Dark Mist" and "Bujinki Amaterasu".

Re: [Event: Reactor]

[guardsthestorm]

A Bunjinki Amaterasu? *... she shakes her head*

This Dark Mist thing... I don't know too much about it, but I know it's not good. Why was there a merger of that, in the first place?

Re: [Event: Reactor]

[mynameis_legion]

It appears to have the trait of a virus that infects minds and souls.

Re: [Event: Reactor]

[guardsthestorm]

... I see... Hmm... *she looks away*

... so what was their involvement, with this?

[afterdarkbeforedawn]

::Loiters to his job and comes across you, lady.::

[guardsthestorm]

*she's just loitering around. nervously. like she's wondering if she should do something, or just go away very fast.*

[afterdarkbeforedawn]

... Yes?

::Notices you.::

Are you an arsonist or a criminal?

[guardsthestorm]

What? *she gives you this bewildered look*

... Neither?

[afterdarkbeforedawn]

Then why are you loitering, lady?

[guardsthestorm]

... I'm just thinking about things. Nothing to concern yourself about.

[afterdarkbeforedawn]

It concerns me because I don't want you torching the store, 'cuz I just got a job here. And you look like an arsonist.

[guardsthestorm]

... how do I look like an arsonist?

*she has a tone and look like, that is the exact opposite of anything I should be giving off*
