<br>
The air of the ports turned as black as shadow as smoke and ash rose over the docks of Ryken. Water turned amber in the night as fires rose from a drifting ship. People were gathered, watching with baited breath as sailors lept from the growing flames into the murky depths below. Some people watched with worry for the people aboard the vessel while others grit their teeth and murmured to each other in angered tones. All could only watch as the flames danced across the deck before leaping onto the sails. By then, it spread so far that the ship itself was unrecoverable. Before long, the vital beams and wood were reached.<br>
<br>
There had been mages to quell the flames, but they had grown much too strong. All that the mages could manage to do was keep the ship in place in the water, preventing it from hitting other ships or colliding with the docks and possibly spreading the flame, creating even more chaos. Just before the ship began to sink beneath the waves and most of those who watched had cleared, two men remained, and they began to speak to each other.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/burning-of-ryken-port-png.943742/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/880/880872-a6f8bf213ee0aa955c4989b7e9aaf1e1.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Burning of Ryken Port.PNG" title="Burning of Ryken Port.PNG" width="127" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
"That's the second ship this month," a man says from off to the side. He wore plate on his chest and a blade on his belt. His face was adorned with a scowl unlike that seen on a normal persons face. It was weathered and tired, but also confused and enraged.<br>
<br>
"Sir, if we don't get the supplies for the guild-"<br>
<br>
"I know... I know. We're... growing short on options."<br>
<br>
The other man nods his head as they both turned back to watch the ship sink to the bottom along with the supplies that they had been speaking of. This would not go well for the state of the adventurers guild. Not by a long shot. It was a slow decline when the first of the ships had sailed into port aflame. This one caught fire in the port, which was a bit better all things considering. Nonetheless, it spoke clearly for all who could see it. If it's happened more than once, then it will happen again. The guild is being targeted. They are being made fools of.<br>
<br>
In that moment, the man that speaks as if a subordinate turns his head and spots two other remaining figures. They kept close to the base of the docks, watching both of the men as well as the ship sinking, as if making sure it was unrecoverable. The plate wearing man notices the gaze and direction of the man beside him, looking towards the hooded figures with a glower. "Stay on their trail, if you can manage. Clearly suspect, those two. I know we've lost their trail before, so don't worry if you can't keep on them. Just do your best."<br>
<br>
The subordinate nods before turning to depart. The hooded figures broke away as well, as if wary of being followed, knowing how this whole song and dance was bound to play out. The plated man turns his attention back to the water, breathing a sigh. "We're going to need some new blood."<br>

<br>
It was another bright morning in the Protectorate of Ryke, but this bright day began in its own capital city of Ryken. Poppy had been on a long journey some time ago. She wasn't sure just how long it had been either. Once she started walking, the time kind of flew on by. She remembered the sun flying through the sky as if it were a ball flying through the air. So many times it had passed her. For all she knew, she has been walking for months or maybe even years. She figured that with no need to rest or eat or breath, no muscle to strain with the exercise, time would just tick on away, leaving her in the dust. Or maybe she was beating it? On occasion she would stop somewhere simply to encounter another living being. Even though the time flew by, the loneliness still crushed her nonexistent heart. She had been alone for as long she had been awake in this new form.<br>
<br>
While the walking would grow tiresome, it was when she saw the distant walls of a city that her spirit began to grow. Finally she would not only make some progress on her goal, but she would also be around people! It excited her a lot. Finally she would not be alone. Of course, she knew which city this was. It was the capital. She heard plenty about the city during her forever-long walk. However, people weren't the only reason she wanted to come here. As she was traveling, she had caught word of a man wielding two black blades.<br>
<br>
She was not completely sure that these were the blades she was searching for, it was all that she had to go on for the time being, and she wanted her families weapons back. She would do anything to get them. Before she began her journey, she looted two blades from the long dead corpse of a fighter in front of her home, but she was not sure if she would ever have the strength to wield them against another. Poppy knew that eventually she would need to be strong and draw the swords, but for now, she had to work up the courage for that. Maybe she could speak to the person with the swords and calmly explain why she needed them back. Surely that had to work!<br>
<br>
The walls of the city drew near in the blink of an eye and already she saw the line of travelers looking to enter the city. Whether it be for trade or to make a new life, maybe even just to visit someone within or stop for supplies, there was still a lot of them. Everyone seemed to have a reason for entering the city. Poppy stopped at the end of the line, her blue scarf wrapped over her head, shadowing the inhuman features of her face underneath. She leaned to the side, looking forward towards the gates. Guards were posted, inspecting people as they stepped forward. One guard carried an orb of sorts. As these guardsmen looked into the orb, directing it towards the entering travelers, they seemed to wear very serious expressions on their faces. Well, it was their jobs to be cautious.<br>
<br>
"What are you doing here, little girl?" a man asked from in front of her. She flinched and raised her head. "Oh, well... I'm just looking to enter the city, sir."<br>
<br>
"Ah, of course - of course. Did you come here all alone?"<br>
<br>
"Y-Yes, sir." Poppy says. She was a bit bothered by these questions. She was not raised improperly. Don't talk much to strangers that ask such questions. However, Poppy has weapons now. "I am on my own. That's why I want to enter the city. It can be dangerous out here."<br>
<br>
The man nods his head. "Understandable. With all of the monsters out there, it must have been difficult to make it here on your own. Thankfully monsters are kept away from this city. Why, the guards use that there orb to detect when a monster is trying to pull some kind of sneaky trick to get in. Definitely makes this city nice and secure. That's why my daughter made this city her home when she had her first child. I'll tell ya, it's a mighty fine-..." The man had turned to look at Poppy again, but she was gone, having left during his rambling.<br>
<br>
A short distance away, the living doll had taken shelter behind some bushes. IT was far enough that most small noises would go unheard. "So they don't let monsters in? But... But maybe they would make an exception for me? ... No... probably not. What am I going to do?" Poppy raises her legs up as she sat on the ground. She places her face against her knees, taking some time to think of a plan. She might just have to wing it, go up and try not to get on the bad side of the guards.</div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/cinder-v1-2-jpg.943821/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/880/880951-2c2354fc6eada76d882d31b00de7bcde.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Cinder v1.2.jpg" title="Cinder v1.2.jpg" width="100" height="160" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Beneath the bright skies illuminating the capital city of Ryken, the soothing breeze sweeping across the open fields outside of the city blessed travelers with temporary relief from the blinding gaze of the sun; clouds being dragged across the large expanse above mortal feet and providing shade to any fortunate field workers. The trotting of a Clydesdale horse could be observed by the various birds in flight, as a man named Cinder in a white shirt rode his wagon towards the capital. The luxurious mahogany wood of the merchants wagon was elegantly carved and detailed, with a leather tarp tied down over top of the various wares inside the vehicle. He wiped the sweat off of his face with the back of his hand, missing the comfort of his thick clothes and the frigid winds that his old home endured. Though it had been a few months since his arrival, the thoughts of what happened to the Krilgox Caldera still plagued his mind. And what of his ancestors as well? Was he the only one from his world who was brought over? How would he find a way back? These questions lingered in his mind despite his efforts to dismiss them, with the sight of the capital walls bringing him back out of his torrent of thoughts. With a whistle sounded in amazement he gave the lead to his horse a bit of a whip, speeding up to a canter and approaching the city with hastened pace.<br>
<br>
By the time Cinder closed the distance to the city gate he spotted a line sprawling out towards him, slowing down to a halt with his Clydesdale as he assessed the situation; with his steed and the wagon parked beside the bush near the edge of the dirt road. Not aware of poppy hiding within the bush next to his wagon, he shuffled through his bag of supplies next to him and pulled out a map and a metal canteen. As he unscrewed the wooden lid to get a drink of water he looked at the map of the capital, his eyes charting a course to all of the shops he needed to visit. As a gust of wind blew past and nearly ripped the map from his hand, part of the leather tarp flapped around in the wind; loosening one of the ropes holding it down for a person or monster to slip inside of the wagon.​</div></div>

Rachael's eyes shifted around as the half giant grew closer to the town. Each footstep easily letting out a 'THUD' as they fell. With her size and weight, there was no way they wouldn't, after all. But for Rachael, that wasn't much of a problem anymore. No longer did she need to stand lightly on her feet, looking cute and nice for those she worked for. She was free to do as she pleased and work for who she wanted. But to do that, she needed to find one thing. And to find what she needed, she had come to this city. For in this city lay the building that would make her life much more interesting and comfortable. The Adventurer's Guild.<br>
<br>
She stretched as she drew closer, noticing, but not seeming to care much about the looks others gave her. It was a common enough occurrence that she didn't seem to exactly mind anymore. What she did mind was when people tried to use her height to their advantage by peeking somewhere they shouldn't, and when that happened, the giantess always just had to make sure they learned a quick and painful lesson on how to treat a lady. But, so far, the people of this town kept their distance as they drew closer to it, and the amazon just hoped it stayed that way.<br>
<br>
Once she had joined the line, she started paying more attention to those around her, noting the crowds while still ignoring the stares. Every once in a while someone would slide closer to her with their intentions quite obvious, and when a glare from her wouldn't scare them off and they tried something, a slap definitely did send them on their way. But for those who just jostled her in line, no retribution other than grumbling came. Finally, her eyes settled on the cart in front of her, one of the ropes quite obviously coming undone. Her footsteps came closer to the front of the carriage, giving warning to what was approaching. Once she got to the front she stopped and turned to look down at the driver. "Your cart's fucked up." She glanced at it, thinking for a few moments, before asking, "Need help fixing it, or think you got it?"​</div></div>

Pieces of dissembled items flew through the air landing in a pile, trash was discarded and rifled through at a steady pace interrupted by pauses where particularly seemingly random pieces were removed from the garbage and thrown into the growing pile. The items in the pile were of dubious value, a screw here a gear there even a doorknob obviously nothing here would fetch a decent price anywhere. Atop this pile of garbage fiddling with loose ends and bits and bobs of various kinds and in various states of cleanliness was a small girl of the Beast race. She could be called cute if she paid any mind to her appearance... or wasn't digging through trash. Dirt and filth caked her body, hair and clothes she had been at her grim work for hours now searching for the right components. With a focused look she continued, so focused was she the local guard coming up to her escaped her notice. <br>
<br>
"Oi Jean, you're digging through the trash AGAIN!?" The man yelled at her incredulously.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 20, 147)">"Hello again Godwin." </span>Jean responded calmly as she examined a new trinket she had just found. <br>
<br>
"You-" He grits his teeth seemingly at a loss for words at the blatant disregard for his presence. "Look I told you last time you're not allowed in here its off limits, besides why's a young girl like you even diggin in trash so early in the morning don't you have a family or something." <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 20, 147)">"No." </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'arial'">"Oh uh, s-sorry about that Jean I didn't..." Godwin stammers taken aback at the direction the conversation has shifted.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 20, 147)"><span style="font-family: 'arial'">"Alright I'm done." </span></span><br>
<br>
Jean collects her various miscellaneous items into a sack and hefts them over her shoulder. Making her way out of the junkyard she walks past the slightly confused guard who simply watched her go. Jeans been in the capital of Ryken for the past four days when "God" had brought her to this world in her changed form she had been rather close to the city and had done her best to make a living here. Though as she was now she was homeless, had nary a cent on her and struggled with practicing her craft in such a primitive world. Yet she continued anyway giving up when there was so much to discover simply wasn't part of her nature. Not back then, and certainly not now. As she walked through the streets still smelling of filth she considered her options. Originally she thought it would be troublesome for her work to get involved with them but at this stage she wasn't even in the testing phase forget forming a hypothesis, she still needed to find a question to pursue and as such she needed to know more of this world. In the end the benefit to her research would be quite satisfactory she was sure of that.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #ff1493">"Meow then, where was the Adventure's Guild?" <span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)">She froze eyes narrowing slightly. </span>"I make cat sounds now? That's the first time it's happened, interesting."</span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-size: 18px"><b>Gates of Ryken - 8:26 am</b></span><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/gates-of-ryken-jpg.944253/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/881/881383-4d53677df08bfcf3a1ea07b197c86aaf.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Gates of Ryken.jpg" title="Gates of Ryken.jpg" width="177" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Time in the line was rather short. Some people began to fear the feisty tall woman who delivered a swift and at times devastating slap to those whose intentions were less than pure. She received plenty of space from the other people in the line, no near to fear any jostling at all really. Common town and city folk such as these were not entirely used to the abnormal, especially when there is violence involved. The slaps that were delivered echoed across the land around the gates and people took that immediately as a sign to not mess with her. When it came to the wagon, people would spare a glance or two on occasion, but otherwise it was just another cart.<br>
<br>
"Hmm, I wonder where the young girl went?" the man from before mused to himself before shrugging his shoulders and continuing on as the line grew smaller and smaller. The folk in line were able to get through into the city in relatively short time. None of them seemed to have any inappropriate titles upon them, thus there was no consequence for allowing them through. Before too long, everyone had already passed through the gates with no one else in sight traveling in towards the city.<br>
<br>
The only ones who remained beyond the city wall were the two and the hidden third cowering behind the bushes. The guards near the gate looked out towards the two beside the cart for a moment. Some of them spared the larger woman some cautious stares. It had not been long and yet they had already heard of her rein of terror out there. Not only that, but they saw many of the slaps delivered to the foolish louts that thought they were sly enough to sneak a peak. Aside from all of that, the guards didn't seem in too big of a hurry to get them through the gates. It's not like there was a rule about such things. The two would enter when they felt like it and that is that.<br>
<br>
For the time being, the guards just watched the two or conversed amongst themselves.<br>
<br>

<span style="font-size: 18px"><b>Streets of Ryken - 8:31</b></span><br>
<br>
If seeking the Adventurers guild is what Jean sought, then she would find that it was not a difficult thing to do. Adventurers wandered what seemed like every other street in this city, all of which either paid to protect the city and act as its blade, or performing jobs for those that needed the extra assistance. These adventurers would not mind being followed, but the cities citizens may look to Jean with wrinkled faces, displeased with the state she was in after her rummaging through the junk, garbage and waste of the city. The smell was certainly there.<br>
<br>
While many people weren't pleased with the way Jean carried herself through their home, there were others that looked at her with interested gazes, as if wondering what curios she carried in the large sack. Surely there was something of interest for her to be carrying with her. It was not often that a neko would even dream of falling into such a state unless the goal was absolutely worth it.<br>
<br>
It would not take too long for the Adventurers guild to be found. The building was massive, large enough to house all of the adventurers that made their living performing jobs for others. It's clear just why the adventurers guild was so well off. After all, it served as one of the three biggest powers in the city of Ryken. The only problem was that some of the adventurers seemed to be a bit bothered and irritable. Some were chatting amongst themselves about the fires at the docks. It seemed to be a heavy topic amongst adventurers, driving most into anger and annoyance.<br>
<br>

<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"><span style="font-size: 22px">Poppy</span></span><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/poppy-jpg.944275/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/881/881405-c466efb8d5a3755b23e706d4a3a62bbf.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Poppy.jpg" title="Poppy.jpg" width="100" height="168" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Poppy had remained in thought for some time, still planning and plotting for a way in, but perhaps her hopes are being answered as the sound of a wagon rolls alongside the bushes she hid behind. Finally she turns in place, carefully crawling through the bushes and peaking from its leaves. She examined the wagon for some time, then she knew what she must do. It was the only chance that she had. No one else seemed to be entering the city today with a wagon, so she had to take her chance while she had it.<br>
<br>
She raised a hand to crawl from the bushes, but the thumping footsteps of something a short distance away caused her to recoil back into the bushes quickly, and thank goodness she did. From down the road, along came a rather tall woman. Poppy had never seen someone so tall before! The young girl was quite stunned yet interested at the same time. However, she had to get into this wagon. The task itself became a little more frightening as the large woman approached the wagon. Though as she passed the back of it, moving more towards the front, Poppy gathered her strength and pushed from the bushes.<br>
<br>
If she had a heart, it would be beating like mad. However, without the need to take a calming breath or give her heart a chance to slow, she was able to remain somewhat calm the whole way to the cart. Brushing the tarp out of the way, she carefully dives into the wagon, kicking her legs a little as she wiggles her way all the way in. She worked to be careful of causing any kind of noise inside. There would be occasional creak, but once she had reached the back, if able, then she would sit as quietly and as still as death.<br>

As Cinder finished observing the map he tucked it away alongside the canteen as the giant approached, looking to her only to give a perplexed expression. Although it wasn't his first time seeing a giant in this world or the previous, a giant wearing a bunny outfit was... unorthodox, to say the least. His thoughts came to a stop as he looked into the giants eyes, regaining his composure and wiping the expression off of his face. When he registered what she said he jumped off his Clydesdale and wandered towards the back where the rope had come loose, with no signs of damage to any part of the wagon. He gave a sigh of relief that the wagon itself wasn't damaged, and with the strength of his firm hands he tied the rope back down to the wagon; albeit much tighter than when he had begun his journey to the capital. As he made his way back up to the front of the cart he noticed a small piece of torn blue fabric was stuck to a branch of the bush, though with the line from earlier he assumed it was from one of the other travelers that already made their way through the gate. Dismissing the blue fabric, he mounted his horse once more and looked back up at the giants eyes, giving a smile of gratitude.<br>
"Thanks for the heads up, I can handle a single loose rope." Cinder stated as his horse gave a huff, seeming to be wary about something. "So, what brings you to the capital?" Cinder asked as he gave the horse lead a gentle whip, coaxing his companion forward as he hoped to make small talk with the giant. Though that attempt didn't last long, as his horse began to neigh and make a ruckus seemingly over nothing. Despite his best attempts the Clydesdale still didn't calm back down, as his gaze wandered to the area around them. Whether it was a monster or ghost he didn't know, though the presence of the giant didn't seem to be the stressor. The lack of noise aside from the rustle of the capital and the breeze also gave little to go off of, giving the giant a concerned glance as if to signal something was amiss.<br>

Rachael's eyes flitted to some movement coming from the bushes, but she couldn't make it out fully. Before she could think too much on that matter, her eyes were brought back to the man, watching him fix his cart before getting back up to the front. She shook her head at his statement, saying quite matter of factly, "It wasn't an insult to your strength. I just tend to do well with physical labor, and was wondering if you would rather I assist. I tend to try and help when I can. Wasn't exactly brought up the best, but I have my values."<br>
<br>
Her mouth moved down to a frown at the question, but she didn't think there was any harm in answering it as she walked, keeping pace with the horse with long strides of her legs. "I'm hoping to join the adventurer's guild, and this is the nearest place large enough to have one in its walls. What about you? What brings you to town? Trade? Or are you moving into the city? After all, wagons don't tend to be brought in for people just visiting."<br>​</div></div>

"I'm here to trade my crafts. I'm a carpenter for a living, so since the town I usually do trade with isn't demanding much furniture at the moment; I thought I'd try my luck at the capital." Cinder explained as he gestured back to the wagon, his horse having settled down from whatever had spooked it earlier. "But I might have to check out the adventurers guild as well, could be a good secondary source of income." He thought vocally as he and the wagon got close to the guards, looking at the orb curiously. It was the first time he'd seen it since his trip to this world, with his previous life not having anything similar to it either. He gave a friendly wave at the guards as his horse came to a stop, looking past them and the gate entrance into the capital itself. The walls surrounding the city were impressive in their own right, and the city itself was a sight to see as well. But neither were as impressive as the Krilgox Kingdom's capital; Caldera's Peak. A city sitting atop a mountain overlooking the Krilgox Caldera itself, as peoples from differing nations flocked the streets in a booming tourism industry. It was hard to get him more impressed with any city than with the capital of his homeworld. He snapped out of his thoughts and gave his horse gentle strokes on its neck, trying to keep his companion calm during the guards inspection.<br>

She even stopped for a few minutes to take some rusted screws near a carpenters shop. When she arrived at the guild she gave out a grunt which was either her being impressed or acknowledgment of its existence. She made her way inside and was met with a surprising level of decor despite the image of adventurers delving into ancient ruins and fighting monsters they seemed pretty well off though it was probably due to said monster fighting. In her time in the Capital even Jean had heard tales of the power and influence held by the Guild though apparently something was starting to shake things up for the Guild, something like that she didn't pay much attention to idle chatter so she only got bits and pieces. Those rumors seemed to be hardly unfounded if the atmosphere was anything to go by the tension was palpable and many of the occupants were obviously disgruntled. Jean made her way up to the Guild staff who also seemed peeved but perked up when she approached though the interest was replaced by a wrinkled nose when the smell wafted over. Jean made no made no acknowledgement of the odor.<br>

<br>
The guardsmen seemed to prepare themselves for the arrival of the two. As the wagon started to move again, they seemed to rally each other and stand at attention. Breaktime was over, even if it was just for a moment. As the wagon came to a stop before the two, the orb carried by one of the guards would be brought out. The event of having ones titles read, or rather, making sure that the titles one possessed did not include the [Monster] or [Criminal] titles was not much of an event in and of itself. The guardsman steps forward, presents the orb, a hand is laid upon it and they would take a step back and offer a nod.<br>
<br>
One of the other guardsmen step towards the back of the wagon, performing their brief checks of the goods being transported into the city. They seemed especially adamant on checking as the horse acted up upon approach. Nonetheless it is a customary check. Can't have any contraband slipping through the gates on their watch, but it's not like they were about to force this poor man to unload his stock and goods out onto the dirt and stone. The guard especially didn't want to have to force Cinder to provide and explanation for what he saw next. There, sitting within the wagon, was the seemingly lifeless doll. Her vacant and emotionless stare directed towards the guardsman, or maybe it was just adjusted towards the back of the wagon, but the guardsman just happened to be caught in its gaze. As he leaned back and forth to observe the nooks within, he could swear that the eyes of the doll followed him.<br>
<br>
Chalking it all up to the creepiness of the situation, he decided to wave it off. The wagon rider could have been a toy maker or something of the sort. It wasn't his job to critique the works of a wood worker. In no time at all the two are cleared and they make their way into the city. Just as with the Neko, Jean, Cinder and Rachael would find their own adventurer here and there likely also on their way to the adventurers guild. However, they would find that they have already received the attention of the guild. Two men step from an alley ahead.<br>
<br>
<b>"Pardon, sir and madame,"</b> he speaks out to them. <b>"Apologies, but may we speak to you a moment? We have a request. You see, we are from the Adventurers Guild."</b><br>
<br>
A moment after he finishes speaking, a high pitched scream, like that from a little girl, radiates from the back of Cinders wagon.<br>
<br>
<hr><br>
<span style="font-size: 18px"><b>Ryken Adventurers Guild - 8:41 am</b></span><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/ryken-adv-guild-jpg.944867/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/881/881997-985249566d2bdc09af84c90ff1da49e9.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Ryken Adv Guild.jpg" title="Ryken Adv Guild.jpg" width="217" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Merely stepping into the entry hall of the guild was enough to make someone feel that they were somewhere new. Somewhere filled with stories. The entrance was a single long hall, a board at the end where a few people huddle, looking over some of the posted jobs that were available to them. This place already looked quite grand, but a single look to the left and the hall paled in comparison to the true thing.<br>
<br>
The Adventurers guild was lavish and marked by the seals of different adventuring parties along the walls. When one stepped into the guild, they knew why Rykens Adventurers Guild was a third of the capital cities power. The guild knew that they had strength and they were not afraid to flaunt it, but those of the guild did not seem stuck up or prideful of their place in the guild. It was like someone displaying a grand jewel, but payed little mind to it. Adventurers were there to work, not brag about their place in the organization. People interacted with each other as if they were at home and speaking with family, even if some of them would, on occasion, get in each others faces and descend into heated arguments.<br>
<br>
These all seemed to be the same, about the recent troubles of the guild. Nonetheless, it mattered little. Jean only had to worry about trying to enter the guild in the first place. People cleared away as she made her way towards the receptionists on the far side of the room, but not many of them seemed overly disturbed by the scent of the dump that lingered upon her person. Why, some of them almost seemed pleased that it was not something worse. When an adventurer came back covered in the vile ichor cleaved forcefully from the viscera of a monster, there were usually not many worse scents to clear away from.<br>
<br>
The receptionists on the other hand still did not seem to appreciate the smell, but that did not stop them from providing the utmost professionalism that they had to offer towards someone seeking to join the Adventurers Guild.<br>
<br>

The young woman stationed at the front cleared her throat, and nose, of the scent emanating from Jean before she offers a smile. <b>"Oh, yes, greetings. We appreciate your interest in the guild. There are a few matters that we must attend to before you may join, perhaps we can start with-,"</b> before the woman can finish, a large framed man steps behind her, offering a smile towards Jean. <b>"No need for all that at the moment, Jenabelle. She's one of the ones that we've been waiting for. One of the 'Newbloods'."</b> The man continues to display his infectious grin touched with a bit of a smirk. It was a purposeful smile that held intention behind it.<br>
<br>
<b>"If you'd come with me, lass, I'd be happy to get to know you and see about getting you inducted into our numbers."</b><br>
<br>
This all seemed a bit sudden and a bit unconventional. However, with tough times comes quick action. From how it seemed, this man and perhaps even a few others from the adventurers guild have been keeping tabs on Jean, and even hoping for her arrival, considering how quickly she was met at the front. This man didn't seem like your run of the mill adventurer either.<br>

<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"><span style="font-size: 22px">Poppy</span></span><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/poppy-jpg.944869/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/881/881999-c466efb8d5a3755b23e706d4a3a62bbf.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Poppy.jpg" title="Poppy.jpg" width="100" height="168" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Poppy was glad that her daring plan worked for the most part. There was a hiccup, that hiccup being the horse that was unsettled by her presence. She didn't make a peep, but she clasped her hands together, praying that it would stop. The wagon rolled on forward and eventually its fit would pass. If she had any need to breath, she would have given the world a relieved breath, however, in a moment she goes limp and completely still. Someone began working on the tarp at the back of the wagon. In moments, she was being stared at by a person wearing full armor. It seemed to be a man, but he was caught off guard as he stared Poppy down.<br>
<br>
He looked to her for a long time, but she kept as still as she possibly could. If there was a situation worth praying for a good end to, then it was this one. While she was still enough to pass off for an oddly large and definitely not suspicious doll, she could not help but follow the guards movements with her eyes. She could tell that he was unnerved by it, but he didn't seem to find it odd enough to raise concerns, as the guard tied things down and continued back to the front. Her attention followed the sound of clanking stomps until it was far past her. Again she wished she could breathe that sigh of relief.<br>
<br>
Once again, the wagon started to roll onwards. This time though she could hear her very success as the sounds of the town grew louder around the wagon. She decided to take the time to relax. She just had to wait for the wagon to come to a halt and then she would leap out! Nothing to it. She turns his head, a full one hundred and eighty degrees as she stared out from a gap under the seat. She saw people walking about, tending to their daily lives. Soon though, something was off. Two men step from somewhere off to the side, seeking to halt the wagon. She could not hear what they were saying, but what she could hear was the hasty unfurling of the wagons back. She immediately went still this time, but there was something about the man who looked in next. He was starting to climb in. Not only that, but he was staring right at her, then reaching for her.<br>
<br>
The moment her arm is grabbed, she immediately tried to fight, but this man was strong. Though she struggled against his grip, there was nothing she could do. So she resorted to the usual tactic for a girl her age being grabbed in such a forceful manner by a strange man. She screamed with all of her might. The sound echoed through the street they all had found themselves in. People started turning their heads to address the commotion.<br>
<br>
<b>"Be silent, Monster,"</b> the man says in a quieted yet forceful voice. It was equal to saying that he would hurt her if she didn't shut her trap. Though pain is something that escaped her in this body, the fear of death remained, she went silent as she was ordered, but that did not stop her from trying to fight off her captor, even as he damn near dragged her from the wagon and onto her feet on the cobblestone road below.<br>

The amazon heard the scream and was the first to react. She spun on her heel, rushing towards the back of the wagon. She wasn't sure what was going on inside, but that type of scream didn't bode well for at least one occupant. She got to the back and saw a man dragging a terrified girl away from the wagon, and decided that the best course of action would be to put a stop to this. She reeled her fist back before striking forward, her style allowing her powerful blow to also contain a deadly precision that was many opponent's downfall, and in the amazon's mind, this kidnapper would be no different.​</div></div>

Cinder waited patiently for the guards to perform their inspections, and as they wrapped up and gave him the clear he have the lead a gentle whip again. The trotting of his Clydesdale sounded once more as he and the giant entered the capital through the gate, his hand reaching into his bag to grab the canteen he had put away earlier. Barely inside the city and two people had already set their sights upon them, with the wagon coming to a halt once more as the two men intended to catch their attention. Their attention they now had, as he raised a strained eyebrow out of curiosity and irritation, though now having found the canteen he opened it once more and took a refreshing drink of the cooled water within. As he finished with his drink his mind wandered as to the purpose of the two men, with their introduction furrowing his eyebrow further in confusion. With this being his first time in the capital only two possibilities could answer this dilemma; either the adventurers guild knew of him before his visit, or they were recruiting new members indiscriminately. In both situations, it had drastic implications for the future. Before either of the two men could explain their request, however, a new manner of attention made itself apparent as a scream bellowed out from his wagon. Without hesitation he jumped down from his horse in a hurry and ran towards the back, fists at the ready as the air around his hands seem to radiate danger.<br>
<br>
As he had readied himself for a fight the giant had already struck first, holding back his fists for the moment and approaching the man in a readied manner. His forehead was furrowed as anger and frustration was made apparent, his ability Hand of the Flames radiating heat from his hands as he withheld himself from punching the man into a sizzling pile of burnt flesh. He was annoyed at the woman that was in the cart as well, though making a disguise as convincing as a human-sized wooden doll was the least of his worries at the moment.<br>
"You'd better start explaining why the hell you were snooping around inside my wagon, because I'm not someone you want to provoke further." Cinder sputtered to the man, teeth clenched hard as he attempted to keep himself from getting angrier.<br>

The giant woman stomped over, and this was immediately brought to the attention of the man holding the girl, as was seen from the realization on his face. He would reach towards the girl once more before the massive fist flew before he immediately almost dove backwards. Despite the terrifying accuracy of the punch, the man managed to avoid the full force of the attack, Rachael's fist only barely making contact with the individuals face. Nonetheless, the force sends him spiraling backwards.<br>
<br>
Whatever skills this man has, he is no pushover. He manages to catch himself, hands finding the ground as he slid some distance away. "What are you doing?!" he shouts, clearly a bit caught off guard and frustrated with the sudden attack. He rises to his feet, steadily calming himself. The other two men soon circle about, their eyes looking between the man and the little girl, though something seemed to be missing from the girl. It was her scarf that was at one point hooded over her head, shadowing her face. It appeared to be in the hands of the man, the one that had reached for her.<br>
<br>
"Don't you know what you're protecting? It's a monster." He points a finger straight at the girl.<br>
<br>
She was without her covering, but the little girls still attempted to cover her face with her hands to hide it. The only problem with this was that her hands were still segmented, clearly that of a doll. She lowers her hands down, face turning to look at the giant woman. Her face was the same, two lines descending from the corners of her lips and curling underneath her jaw. The lifeless and staring, emotionless eyes. Though the doll trembled, there were no tears falling down from her face.<br>
<br>
The girl started stammering, trying to find words to plea, but she could not manage to form them.<br>

He reminded Jean of a soldier, she was used to soldiers, they were usually straightforward and appreciated her work a lot more than the average person. The grin on his face meant to disarm her and make her comfortable was unnecessary but acknowledged. He seemed to have a reason to skirt regulation like this, it must be a important to him. She could work with this man. Though Jean wondered what the "Newblood" thing was about did the Adventurers Guild get an influx of new recruits lately?<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 20, 147)">"Hm." </span>Jean stares at the man before turning to follow him. They walk briefly until surprisingly enough Jean breaks the silence. <span style="color: #ff1493">"Did you know of me before now? Well, that or the Guild must be in volatile situation.

As the two walked down the winding halls of the Guild, the man leading the way never really lost his smile, but it sure did lessen a little. No longer showing near perfect teeth and just opting for a simpler one that still emanated a bit of that warmth in him. People would at times cross paths with the two and the man was almost always greeted with a wave or a bow of respect. It would not take long for them to have reached a room that was somewhat out of the way. Only when they were within would be begin to answer that question.<br>
<br>
<b>"You see, we have an individual within our numbers with an ability that allows them to perceive things about certain individuals. It allows us to gauge the usefulness of folk about the city. She cannot use this skill often though, so we can only really gleam a few people that we could use aid from. You were among the few that we found. The Newblood, as I had called you. There are others that were supposed to have passed through the front gates a while ago. They should be getting closer by now, I'd imagine."</b><br>
<br>
The man gestures to a chair in the room, offering Jean the seat while he takes another, shifting it right in front of the one presented to Jean. As the man sits, he brings his hands together. <b>"I've no doubt you've seen the state of the others while you were heading in. We've been losing supply ships as they come into the port and our people are not happy about it. Loss of supplies means loss of aid we can give our adventurers. If we can't keep our people in shape, then it's back to grunt work until we can make up. That means that we need people to help solve this little problem. People with little to no name in the city."</b> After a moment, he waves a hand. <b>"Sorry, I didn't mean to make that last part sound the way it did. What I mean is that we need folk with less of a reputation in the city. People that can get around without being well associated with the guild yet."</b><br>

Rachael glanced from the girl to the man, her arms crossing as she raised an eyebrow. "Well have I got news for you, bub! One, what do you expect me to fucking think, seeing some random man dragging a girl away? You look like a kidnapper, and genuinely seem like you're the one in the wrong. Two, you don't know why she was in the cart. She could be a construct given sentience and not a monster, created to assist someone, and that, again, would put you in the wrong. Constructs wouldn't be any of the other three, so it would be streamlined into monster, making you think she is one, when she wouldn't harm any humans." Rachael decided she really didn't like whoever this was, and so while the first one was true, the second one was totally pulled out her ass. However, she looked intimidating enough, as well as sure enough of her answer, that quite a few people might take her word for it.<br>
<br>
She leaned towards him, a glare forming on her face. "And three, to me she doesn't seem like she'd hurt a fly. In fact, right now, I feel like you entering the wagon unannounced, all while getting your friends to try and distract us, seems much more criminal than anything she has been trying to do. The only thing she's done since you tried to drag her away is be terrified for her life. From what I could tell she didn't try to fight back, meaning that not only would you be kidnapping, but if you tried to kill her you'd have to murder her in cold blood. Now, I'm not sure about you, but I wouldn't want that trait on my repertoire. So how bout you leave and we forget this happened. That sound good?"​</div></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-size: 26px">Past the gates of Ryken - 8:44 AM</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><span style="font-size: 22px">Cinder Radcliff</span></span></b><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/cinder-v1-2-jpg.946131/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/883/883261-2c2354fc6eada76d882d31b00de7bcde.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Cinder v1.2.jpg" title="Cinder v1.2.jpg" width="100" height="160" loading="lazy"></a><br>
Cinder listened to the man as he gave his reasoning, briefly turning to the monster that had been hiding in his wagon. Despite the brief gaze he gave he was left in awe at the woodwork of her figure, with whether or not she was a monster immediately taking the backburner as he turned back towards the man. His expression now seemed even more pissed, barely listening to the giant telling him off as he thought of how best to rip him a new crevasse... Figuratively. He cracked his knuckles and popped several cramps out of his neck, his gaze cursing the man with a burning ferocity that few could provoke from him.<br>
"A living wooden doll is what the people of Ryken consider a f****** threat?! A doll?! I may not be a long time resident of this nation, but I've encountered wolf pups that have more ferocity - more bloodlust! I've almost died more times in my life to a tree falling my way than to a f****** doll! Hell, even my own carpentry tools pose more of a threat than her!" Cinder proclaimed as he gestured towards Poppy, only having begun his irate rant. "If the entire capital - the one place in the nation where its armed forces should be strongest - is concerned about a single doll who hasn't even tried fighting back against the likes of you, I'd think the nation is run by a league of cowards that can't tell the difference between a sword and a knife! And I know not everyone is that idiotic, given that the city isn't burning to the ground. So I'm lead to believe that you're an irredeemable racist, who's hellbent on torturing or killing any sentient being that so much as differs from humanity! You make the demons in hell look more sympathetic and kind, and I bet the angels you so praise are mocking your very existence! So how about you go lock yourself away where no one has to be cursed whenever they're around you, as you can't handle being around a harmless doll without whipping out your sword to improvise for the <i><b>many</b></i> insecurities you've got. Hell, I'd love to see just how miserable you make your wife, you've got to be the fastest turn off this entire nation has ever seen. Now get out of my sight, before I have to smear my boots with whatever rat tainted feces you slept in!"<br>
<br>
As Cinder finished off his very lengthy lecture and roast, a crowd had started to gather around them. Whether it was because the giant had tried attacking the man or because of the scream, he didn't know while in the heat of the moment. With a deep breath in the air around his hands seemed to cool off, tucking away his hands into his pockets and turning towards Poppy. He still seemed a little irritated at the whole situation, but now that he had blown off some steam he was cordial enough. He walked over and offered a hand up, his ears keeping a listen just in case the man tried something stupid again.<br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/streets-of-ryken-jpg.946194/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/883/883324-23432201367e2ed32c9a465b06d91e33.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Streets of Ryken.jpg" title="Streets of Ryken.jpg" width="170" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
In any other city the two might have had a point, perhaps they would even have had the man responsible for making Poppy scream running and embarrassed, however, he remained still. His emotion was not clear upon his face, as if the words reached him, yet he did not mind. Such was usually normal when you handled criminals, thugs and monsters after all. Lots of harsh words. The people that had gathered all seemed mildly fearful as well, but ultimately they felt at ease with members of the adventurers guild gathered about. The other two men had circled about the wagon to join their ally. None of them had a terribly excited face for the situation that was rising. It was like exhausted city guards tired of dealing with common rabble.<br>
<br>
The masked man breathes a sigh and crosses his arms. <b>"You two are clearly new to the city. We have been observing every move of the girl there since the moment she approached the city. The city of Ryken forbids the access of [Criminal]'s and [Monster]'s. Why, the very orb that you touched when entering is what we use to determine if someone possesses such titles, no matter the manner of illusion or spell they try to wield in order to avoid being unmasked. That girl there hid when she observed the purpose of the orb. When your wagon approached, she crawled inside. Clearly she was seeking a way to bypass the examination."</b><br>
<br>
Judging from the withdrawn looks of the people gathered about, most people in this city were wary of [Monster]'s, no matter what shape and form they took. The man didn't seem cocky or anything either. From the look on his face, he was only telling the truth about the capital he calls home. <b>"You should be careful with that punch of yours. If it had been anyone else, they most certainly would have been struck, then you would be in a far worse situation. If it was an especially heartless adventurer, you would be labeled an accomplice to the smuggling of a [Monster] into the city of Ryken. Since you're new, you should know that most [Criminal]'s and [Monster]'s that attempt to even enter the city are either locked up or outright executed."</b><br>
<br>
Once the man had finished explaining the circumstances of the situation, he looks to his allies and nods. <b>"Thankfully for the lot of you, we had been expecting her, no, all of you, for some time. As such, we, representing the adventurers guild, will forgive and forget all transgressions that have occurred here today. However, we must take the girl. She is still a [Monster], so she cannot be allowed to roam the city until we have had the chance to guarantee she will not pose a threat."</b><br>
<br>

<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"><span style="font-size: 22px">Poppy</span></span><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/poppy-jpg.946207/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/883/883337-c466efb8d5a3755b23e706d4a3a62bbf.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Poppy.jpg" title="Poppy.jpg" width="100" height="168" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
The girl was shaking something fierce. She had been found and she had nothing keeping her from the clutches of these people other than the two that had come to her defense, but as she listened to the man before them, she could not help but only grow more fearful. These people could get in trouble as well because of her. Because she chose to find a different way into the city, but she had no idea that she was already being watched. The second she entered that wagon, she put these people under watch as well. She must have.<br>
<br>
Guilt welled within her. She didn't want these people to get in trouble. Not even a little. From how it sounded, the people that had come for her were even willing to forgive the punch and having unknowingly brought her into the city to begin with. Poppy shakily grabs the hand of the man and woman that had come to protect her. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I... I am a [Monster]... They are right. I was just.... so scared to put my hand on the orb. I need to find my families belongings, but not if it gets someone kind hurt along the way."</span><br>
<br>
She stands still for a moment, she wished she could cry, feeling the tears on her face would at least make her feel a little human. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"It's okay... They said themselves that they were expecting us, right? I don't think they would hurt me... I can't even feel pain. My body is just made of wood. You don't have to worry about me."</span> Though she couldn't smile, the tone of her voice was overwhelmingly considerate and kind. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I think I'll be alright. Just... don't hurt yourselves for me. I could never forgive myself."</span><br>

The act of simply wandering through the capital city was showing Victorique the implications of who she was now. Everything looked so much taller and more dangerous when you were as small as she'd gotten. She even needed to be careful not to be trampled upon by people in a rush. It was a feeling she only vaguely remembered from when she was a child, not something she expected to go through as a full-grown adult. In fact, she hoped people would even recognise her as one. If her current life would be one of explaining her age, it'd be quite bothersome. How common were halflings? She had no clue. <br>
<br>
The odd mixture of clear memories that remained of whom she was before and the memories, or rather, the knowledge of who she was now, was still pacing through her head. Using the new name wasn't too difficult, perhaps due to already having gone by different names in her past life, but the height difference was rather troublesome. That and the fact that she was broke and homeless. Try as she might, she couldn't recall anything with regards to belongings or a home address, to the point that she had to assume the worst; namely that she didn't have anything more than the items she had currently on her.<br>
<br>
That wasn't ideal.  <br>
<br>
With those troubles going through her mind, she paced through the city until she happened to overhear an interesting bit of conversation. There was an adventurers guild here and they were having issues getting their supplies, as someone or something was setting their ships ablaze. The fact that a ship had been set ablaze in the port itself showed how hopeless the guild was. <br>
<br>
Upon hearing those words, something triggered in her, like an investigator's instinct. She'd be able to solve plenty of her own issues if she could track down these perpetrators. Having the guild own her something was very likely to get her a meal and place to sleep at the very least and the investigation itself could be used as an explanation for why she was in the city, should she ever need one.<br>
<br>
It didn't take her long to decide she'd take her chances and follow up on the man that was clearly trying to pursue the suspects. Victorique didn't think he'd last long, especially not if even she, new to this world as she was, could identify his actions as an attempt at tailing someone. It was just what she needed though. After all, the suspects would lower their guard once they'd shaken off the first person tailing them, as they wouldn't expect a second party doing the same, which meant she'd have an easier time. All she needed to do was to keep it up longer than he would manage.<br>
<br>
She almost lost track of the suspects on a few occasions, but a quick investigation managed to get her back on track each time. Her size made it a bit easier to go unnoticed, she realised, as she pursued them throughout the city. Eventually, it led her to a storehouse. She didn't recognise any of it, but she made sure to memorise the name of it. That alone wouldn't be enough, she feared, so she gathered up her courage and moved in closer.<br>
<br>
Standing as close to the window as she dared to go, she could just about make up the conversation going on inside. They were in league with these merchants, that much was confirmed by  their words. Victorique even heard them reference someone they were working for, although she wasn't sure if it was a real name or not. Even so, she'd make sure to memorise it. She had a name and location now, but she figured she'd need something more solid. After all, her words alone could be seen as a shabby attempt at making a quick buck by selling made-up information.<br>
<br>
She clicked her tongue. Should she try to convince the guild her information was correct by words alone, or should she attempt to gather something more concrete? She almost had a heart attack when she heard the door open besides her and instinctively rushed into the side-alley. With her heart beating in her chest and holding her breath until she almost fainted, she waited to be sure that whomever had left the building hadn't spotted her. <br>
<br>
Nobody came. Good. After calming down a bit, she figured now was her chance. She carefully glossed in through the window. It didn't look like anyone was still inside. She slowly and carefully approached the door and realised her luck was still going strong, as the fools had forgotten to lock it behind them. Gathering courage, she slowly opened it and entered the building.<br>
<br>
A quick look around showed her that there was nothing too incriminate at first sight. Nobody would want to keep a track record of their crimes, after all. Until she spotted something of interest. A few goods were stashed away in a corner of the room, but they didn't look new. It looked as if they'd been dragged around a lot, like what you'd expect from stolen goods. <br>
<br>
Perhaps the ships weren't burned just to spite the guild, but to destroy the evidence of them having been robbed of their goods first? That would mean she'd have found the jack-pot. She figured she'd take her chances with it. Now she just needed some proof of it. Luckily enough, the company had gone as far as to rebrand their stolen goods. A brand new company mark on an old and rugged looking sack of grain might not be much, but in the current situation and with her theory to back it up, it might just be enough to get things moving. <br>
<br>
She scanned around the room, finding a bread-knife with which she could attempt to cut-out the mark. Just to be on the safe side, she even took a handful of grain. If this world had different types of grain like her own, the guild might recognise it as their own missing order, which would implicate this merchant company even more. She figured she'd quickly stash it away in her pocket dimension, where nobody would be able to find it.<br>
<br>
All in all, she was rather happy with herself. A company name, the name or nickname of a potential leader and some evidence in the form of a brand and handful of grain. Surely she'd be able to spin this into a tale that would get her started off strong with the adventurer's guild. All that in just a single day, on her first day even, this was...<br>
<br>
She was just getting full of herself when she heard the door open again. She spun around and looked right in the eyes of one of the men she'd been following. That was bad. Before the next heartbeat, she found herself in a mad dash for the door, as if her body was functioning solely by instinct. In just the few seconds it took the man at the door to notice the intruder and register her as someone he'd need to stop, she'd already made it past him and was just out of arm's reach by the time the man spun around in an attempt to grab her.<br>
<br>
She could just about feel his hand slide past her, as he failed to get a hold of her. Behind her, she could hear him yell; <b>“Get her!”</b> to someone. Victorique didn't dare to look around, as she sprinted onwards. She needed to get this all straight to the adventurer's guild, as she knew she'd be in big trouble if they'd catch her. There was only one issue. <br>
<br>
She had absolutely no clue where the adventurer's guild was.<br>
<br>
Or where she was, for that matter.<br>
<br>
Without knowing anyone in the city, she didn't dare to stop and ask for direction either. Especially not with people right on her heels. She might have been faster than them, perhaps even by a lot, but there was more than one of them and she wouldn't even recognise all of them. They also knew the lay-out of the city, whilst she was just wandering around hoping to find the guild. The situation quickly ended up being a wild goose chase, where the only comfort she had was the fact that she was surely confusing her enemies. After all, they'd be unable to piece together what her goals were by the fact that she was randomly running through the city without any seemingly clear goal or destination.<br>
<br>
Just as she finally found her way to what seemed to be one of the main streets of the city, which would surely have the adventurer's guild somewhere along it, or so she hoped, she heard someone yell behind her. <b>“Over here!”</b> Having already exhausted herself a fair bit, she could feel her side sting. She wasn't sure if she could keep it up, but surely dashing out onto the main street would be enough for them to give up... right? She figured she'd make one more desperate dash towards it.</div>

She was rather interested when he mentioned she had been located by a women with a "skill" as he called it. Her eyes narrowed in intense focus as he describer her ability which could locate a person who fit the criteria they needed. Her mind raced with possible explanations of such an ability and each one was just as plausible in how outlandish and seemingly impossible it was, this world truly worked differently than her own. Something akin to clairvoyance is already an amazing ability and supernatural in nature but he described it like it was notable enough to mention but not too strange. Admittedly Jean wanted to grill him about different abilities and how he understood them to work but she was so lost in her thoughts he had already begun to describe the Guild situation and how he wanted her help to solve it. Luckily he didn't catch her not listening to the first part but she brought her attention back to the matter at hand.<br>

Upon hearing the mans reasoning Cinder was still very reluctant to trust him, finding multiple red flags within his statement. Some of which the giant pointed out, but he had a few points to contest of his own.<br>
"Well if that's the case, tell me this: Why didn't you preemptively leave the city and capture her beforehand? Why choose to sneak into my cart and try to drag her out? Literally at any point you could have resolved the issue at hand through less messy means, but instead you choose to wait until she's in the city and use brute force? If the Adventurers Guild has more people like you in it, I'd hardly call it respectable in any sense of the word. You could have chosen peace, but you deliberately chose the worse possible scenario. How fucking hard is it to simply say 'Excuse me sir, but we believe a monster snuck into the back of your wagon, mind if I take a look?' It's not hard to communicate, so maybe instead of adventuring and kidnapping you should spend some time learning the fundamentals of communication." Cinder ranted in a calmer tone, though still visibly pissed. He kept himself between Poppy and the man, though his attention was caught by the faint sound of yelling and the echoes of someone running. Although he wasn't certain of what he heard, it seemed to be coming from a nearby alley. "In any case, I've got some important errands to attend to, so I'm going to be bringing her along with me. You can tag along if you're still worried about a doll, but you'd better not try any moves. After I'm done, I plan on following suit to the Guild to ensure you don't do anything stupid, alongside file a formal complaint if <i>any</i> of my wares were damaged during your shuffle. Do I make myself crystal clear?"<br>

<br>
By now, guardsmen from the gate had made it to the side of the adventurers. It was clear that there were closer ties to the two organizations than it would first seem to those new to the city. The guardsmen, who had greeted these folk wholeheartedly before were now wary as well, all of them having drawn blades after hearing that a commotion had begun beyond the gates. The adventurer shakes his head at a guard that had gotten closer to him, looking at the hooded man with a raised brow. It was as if the man was telling the guards not to take any action.<br>
<br>
The man breathes a long sigh. <b>"Again, it is painfully obvious that you are both new here. The Adventurers Guild is responsible for the safety of the city alongside its guardsmen. You may not take her with you. She will be coming with us, and that is a non-arguable fact. I would prefer not to bring this to blows as there are still citizens about."</b> He nods his head towards Rachael. <b>"You may accompany her if you so wish, but I was ordered to bring the 'doll' directly to the adventurers guild once she was at the gates and I intend to fulfill that order without fail."</b><br>
<br>
It was clear that there was little leeway for argument in this situation unless things were to get messy, but he did not seem to desire such a thing at all. Even if he and his pals were seasoned adventurers with a detail of guardsmen at their back, he did not let that get to his head for even a moment. He only wanted to perform his duties while the two attempted to upset him with their volley of verbal aggression and intimidation only for it to fall flat.<br>
<br>
<b>"I would not harm her. After all, I was instructed to bring her to the guild without a scratch. I believe my boss has need of her assistance, same with all of you. Personally, I'm starting to think it's more trouble than it's worth, but I only follow orders as per my job details."</b><br>

The man raises a brow at the request for funding so soon. This time he was the one with a raised brow and a hand scratching at his scruffy face, going over different options in that case. He raises a leg and swings it over the other as he gets comfortable. <b>"It's a bit unconventional to fund an adventurer before they have even had the chance to prove themselves on the field. When an adventurer joins, they take jobs and make money that way, only paid after the jobs completion."</b><br>
<br>
The man seems to take a few moments to think, looking the neko over for a few moments as he does so. <b>"If you insist on requiring capital to do your work as an adventurer, then I would suggest taking it through the lovely receptionist back out front. Any such transactions must be recorded as we here at the adventurers guild must keep track of all exchange of goods and finances, especially when it is one-sided. Also, especially with all the troubles as of late."</b><br>
<br>
He shrugs his shoulders and she starts speaking again. <b>"It's either that or you can find a noble to sponsor your partnership with the adventurers guild, then you can have all the resources you could possibly want. Only problem with that is that the nobles prefer to keep to themselves as much as they can. We only rarely get noble visitors down here."<br>

<br>
The man that had been pursuing Victorique were clearly not just some average thugs. They both managed to stay on her tail and they were only gaining ground with each passing second. They both were adorned in leathers suited for those who favored the night as their cover, but in an effort to be rid of loose ends and keep themselves alive, they had to rush into the light. The only unfortunate part for them was that the halfling was still fast as all hell, but even so they were managing.<br>
<br>
By then, the two had drawn daggers. A clear sign that when they caught up, they weren't going to let Victorique live. One could see the hate in their eyes. The halflings death would probably even make them some extra money if they spun a story.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/the-pursuit-png.947399/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/884/884529-5f32ca89ba9aa25b3e3843a4e549169e.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="The pursuit.PNG" title="The pursuit.PNG" width="117" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Suddenly another man descends from above a short distance down the alley from Victorique. She had been cut off. The man just stays where he is, blades drawn and ready to skewer the smaller woman. However, as Victorique drew near, the man turns his attention to something to their left. He tries to readjust himself from the look of it, but he was not quick enough as an armored foot flew from the side alley the rogue was looking down.<br>
<br>
When the foot hits, it hits hard. The dagger wielding fiend goes flying down the alley on the opposite side of the owner of that devastating kick. From the sound of it, the rogue was still traveling on down the length of the alley. Clanking metal against stone sounds as a younger looking man steps into the alley. His eyes lock upon Victorique, but just before she reaches him, he steps to the side, letting her pass on through. <b>"Look for the main road! Further down, take the first right you find. My allies should be around that area, they'll keep you safe! Tell them Breyen sent you!"</b> He returns his attention to the pursuing men before drawing a silver blade, directing it down the alley while he holds a shield close with his other arm.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/breyen-png.947401/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/884/884531-cb7c084e99cde3fc495a5b5cb8e26146.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Breyen.PNG" title="Breyen.PNG" width="100" height="122" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
The young man named Breyen prepared himself for combat, but the pursuers stopped short, just before they could get in range of that sword and shield. Their eyes were wide with surprise that slowly turned to fear. It was as if they looked upon a worst case scenario once this Breyen fellow got involved. An air of cool confidence radiated from the warrior, prepared for whatever that was to come, especially when the safety of another was concerned.<br>

<br>
Just her luck. Getting targetted by what felt like a full-blown assassin's guild on her first day. She was starting to doubt her approach to the situation, as these guys were clearly far more experienced than she'd like them to be. It didn't look like putting up puppy-eyes and saying sorry would get her anything more than a dagger through the throat, so she kept running for her life. She knew she was fucked when she saw one of them drop down in front of her. There was no way for her to get past him or turn around... Was she really going to die like this? She hadn't even finished her supply of tobacco.<br>
<br>
That's when she noticed the man got distracted by something. She barely had the time to register it before the guy was kicked to what seemed to be the other side of the city. Her knight in shiny armour had arrived! She listened to Breyen's words and nodded with a gratefull look on her face, as she was way too out of breath from all the running to form a proper reply. She'd only need to run a bit further now... The latter didn't make the stinging in her side feel any less painful, but it was a whole lot better than getting stabbed to death.<br>
<br>
She followed the instructions, running further down and taking the first right. Whilst the thought that it might be a trap went through her mind, she was too exhausted to act on it. The best she could do was hope that it wasn't. After getting to the area, she'd look around for whomever those allies might be. Breyen hadn't given her any discriptions, so she'd have to go by looks alone. She looked around for people using the same crest as he had on his shield, but if she couldn't find those, she'd just look for the most knightly-looking ones. She eventually found a group tht seemed to match the description gathered around the cart, she headed over and convey the message between heavy breaths. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“...Breyen...sent me..?”</b></span><br>
<br>
It'd be pretty awkward if she had the wrong people, but having just narrowly escaped death, it was the least of her concerns. If anything, she was doing her best to stand somewhat 'tall' and not just plop down from exhaustion. Fast as she was, her stamina wasn't endless, which she was painfully aware off due to how she was feeling at the moment. <br>
<br>
On the topic of 'standing tall', Victorique couldn't help but glance up at the giantess (Rachel), as she herself was barely taller than the giantess's knees. In normal circumstances, such a difference would set off her danger instincts, but the outfit made it surprisingly difficult to be terrified of the giantess, even though she could probably still squash Victorique with a single well-placed stomp. It's why a mixture of curiosity and worry made Victorique keep her a distance, at least while she was trying to catch her breath. <br>
<br>
She also realised that the situation between the giantess and a red-eyed man (Cinder) on the one hand and the guards on the other was rather tense. It seemed to be due to some doll she'd spotted whilst running here, but hadn't paid any attention to due to be drawn to the imposing nature of the giantess. Perhaps the giant and red-eyed man were trying to smuggle some illegal stuff? She wasn't sure, but she figured she'd best stay behind the guards she was meant to be protected by. Once she'd catch her breath <s>and get some smoke in her lungs</s> she'd probably be able to think the situation through more clearly. For now, she just hoped these were the ones she was meant to look for.</div>

The amazon's eyes fixed on the guards and the adventurers before spitting on the ground, her face showing pure disgust. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"So not only are you bad at your job, but you need friends to do it? Really, what kind of adventurer are you. You want to keep the city safe? It's pretty fucking obvious that you're trash at that too if this is how you go about it. And sure, I'm new. I just got here because it's the only place with an adventurer's guild within a good distance. But if this is the incompetence's of the adventurer's guild in this city, I won't mind walking a bit more."</span><br>
<br>
She knew every word was probably making it more unlikely she would be able to get any sort of job here, not just an adventurer's job, but at this point, she didn't care about that as much. She just felt sick at the prospect that she had ever wanted to share a guild with the scumbag in front of her, and with that thought, she balled up her fists. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"And as for coming to blows, oh I wish it could, but you seem to really enjoy ganging up on people when your underhanded tactics of kidnapping don't work, so I think I'll have to decline, even if it would make me feel better."</span>​</div></div>

It wasn't ideal admittedly she had been hoping to receive funds as soon as possible, hard pressed for resources as she was constructing was impossible. She had forgotten what it was like to be so bereft of materials. She slouched a bit in her chair and her tail grew much less animated she didn't let how dejected she was show on her face but despite her excitement about the potential of this new world she was experiencing something akin to withdrawal. Jean found it quite troublesome. Well that was an understatement to her it was more akin to hell which each passing hour she felt uncomfortable and jittery without something in her hands.

Cinder seemed to only grow more frustrated at the situation, though the interruption brought about by the arrival of another had caught him a bit off guard. With the brief opportunity granted to him by her arrival he took a moment to cool his jets and try to look at the situation more objectively, crossing his arms as his mind replayed the situation up until now. Although both he and the giant had very valid reasons to oppose the adventurers blunt and inconsiderate methods, he couldn't completely fault them for being cautious with a monster. Even his world had monsters that held ill intent. With a sigh he looks to both the adventurers and the guards, lightly kicking the ground with what little frustration he had pent up. He still thought that the adventurer was a racist low-life that bought his way into what should be a reliable guild, but it seemed words alone wouldn't convince them to take a less egregious path.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Then this is where I must part ways, may we never meet again."</span> Cinder retorted to the man before lobbing a glob of spit onto the ground, mouthing his apologies directly at the guards for having wasted their time. He looked up at the giant and gave a gentle wave goodbye, but not before opening his mouth again. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"It's been a pleasure meeting you, sorry I can't stick around to help out more."</span> Before he hopped back onto his horse, he gave Poppy a bit of a smile; his feet striding past and lifting him up onto his Clydesdale. With a gentle whip his horse trotted away with the wagon in tow, making his way down the street and towards one of the many vendors he had business with.<br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/lathryn-png.948695/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/885/885825-1a9cfb96ba5e40cfaa5fa0465ac66699.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Lathryn.PNG" title="Lathryn.PNG" width="112" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
The man offers a smile. "Well met, Jean Heng. My name is Lathryn Goddard. I am sect leader of the city defensive forces in regard to the those provided by the Adventurers Guild. Ultimately, I am what you would consider a warden of sorts. Warden over the safety of Ryken. However, I don't enjoy going under such titles, so feel free to refer to me as Lath." He grins and moves off to the side. He sorts through some papers upon a desk before picking one up and looking over it.<br>
<br>
When it comes to the documents that Lath has, it is a rather thin stack of paperwork. Nonetheless, he looks them over as his best chance of solving his problems. "Now then, the job. We are experiencing hardships concerning our ordered and payed for goods. When arriving from overseas, our trade ships go up in flames. All goods, tools and weaponry are henceforth unable to be retrieved. The reason for this being that they are not found with the wreckage. We assume they are being stolen sometime before they get anywhere close to the port and then before the ships can reach their final destination, they are set ablaze to taunt us or to make us appear weak in the public eye." Lath seems to speak of this all in a casual manner, not all that bothered by the issue, or at least that is the face he is putting on.<br>
<br>
"We already have reason to believe that someone from the Merchants Guild is responsible, but when dealing with troubles concerning the Merchants Guild, we must be very cautious. If we make one wrong step around our allies among them, it could ruin our relations. Ryken is strongest when our two guilds work together, so we cannot make any movement against any particular organization yet."<br>
<br>
Lath raises a brow looking to Jean. "Any questions about what needs doing? It'd probably be safe to find a lead before anything else. Then we can pay you and we can ready for the next step of the job."<br>
<br>
<hr><br>
<span style="font-size: 18px"><b>Beyond the Gates of Ryken - 08:47</b></span><br>
<br>
Things were only growing more tense, but everyone seemed to have eyes for the two new arrivals to the city as the cause for it all. Not only were they trying to continue this pointless back and forth with a man who was only doing his job, but they would not relent. People would start seeing them as trouble. One of the man beside the adventurer in the center would breathe a sigh. "These are the Newbloods that Sir Lath had found? They seem like they're more trouble than they're worth," he says, crossing his arms. It only seemed like a new argument was on the rise, but before anything more could spiral further, a knight stepped into the clearing from an alley. He stood between both parties and puffs out his chest. "That is quite enough!" His words echo through the main street, making sure all can hear. He points a finger at the man whose actions had started this all.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/breyen-png.948701/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/885/885831-cb7c084e99cde3fc495a5b5cb8e26146.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Breyen.PNG" title="Breyen.PNG" width="100" height="122" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
"Tahl, we still need to work on your hasty decision making!" the white haired knight says with a stern look on his face. The rogue who had tried to snatch Poppy raises his hands. "Breyen, I was only trying to be quick about getting the monster off the streets. I had no idea she was going to start screaming her head off." The knight Breyen shakes his head. "Then endeavor to be more gentle with your craft, Tahl. I know you can do so, I have faith in you! As for the rest of you, back to work, I shall take things from here." Guardsmen and adventurers alike began to clear. Some of the civilians remained only to admire the knight, he must be a popular man in this city.<br>
<br>
He turns his head, spotting Victorique among his allies and offers a smile. "This way, friend. I believe you will be very important concerning our current crisis!" If she approaches, he would turn towards the giantess and the doll, walking towards them. His voice remains with Victorique for a moments time. "I am sorry you had to deal with those unsavory villains, miss. However, your bravery inspired me to assist. You found something yes, that is why they pursued you?"<br>
<br>
As Breyen approaches Rachael and Poppy, he lowers, taking one of the dolls hands before scooping her up, carefully holding her in a single arm.  "You have nothing to fear, little miss. I assure you that no harm shall befall you. I know your friend here is to thank for that as well." Breyen looks up at Rachael. He doesn't smile, but his eyes reflect a respect towards the woman for protecting Poppy despite all odds. "A valiant defender, however, try not to be so hard on my friends and allies in the future. They only do their jobs. We must be careful about monsters. We have had them enter in the past, seemingly harmless, only to cause destruction to our homes. There is a reason we wield the black orbs to detect unsavory titles." Breyen looks to Poppy, his eyes are soft. "I will vouch for this one upon my reputation within the city. I shall be responsible for her no matter what comes to pass. I have faith that she will not cause trouble. Now then, let us catch up with your friend in the wagon!"<br>
<br>
Before anyone could respond, Breyen was already running with Poppy in his arms towards the moving wagon, and despite the weight he carried with him, he caught up quick. With a small leap, he clings to the side of the wagon, swinging a bit so that he might see Cinder. "I would ask that we all go to the adventurers guild!" Breyen says suddenly with eyes locked on Cinder. "I am Breyen Camfieldt with the Adventurers Guild and I apologize for the behavior of my allies. Now let us all go to the adventurers guild, post-haste!"<br>
<br>
Breyen, on a quick note, seems like a very energetic individual, though he does not often smile, keeping a stern expression on his face, his eyes are very passionate and easy to read. He is an open book with a single glance. He does not seem like a bad individual, not in the slightest. In fact, he could be seen much like Rachael. Overprotective of others, but not letting hardships evolve into a place where common ground is unachievable. He is also mildly impatient, always trying to get the ball rolling towards a certain destination. At this moment, he seems keen on getting everyone to the Adventurers Guild, and he will not settle for anything less than all of them, judging from the look in his eyes.</div>

<br>
The giant bunnygirl kept arguing with the adventurers and guards, but considering that meant she didn't have her eyes set on Victorique, the halfling plopped down on the ground alongside the road to rest for a bit. Her legs felt sore and she had only just started to regain control over her breathing. She saw the man with the cart drive off without too much more of a fuss, so she figured whatever the issue was about was mostly settled. That said, none of them had reacted when she told them Breyen sent her, which likely meant that she'd ran into the wrong people. <br>
<br>
She was just about to get up and look around some more when her knight in shiny armour himself apeared. The conversation between him and his subordinates gave her a lot more of an understanding of what had occured, but the 'why' of it remained a mystery. The latter didn't change when Breyen gestured her to follow him and 'explained' some things. Well, she'd cut the person who saved her some slack and skip any snarky remarks she was inclined to make. Other than one, perhaps, as she simply couldn't abstain from making a remark about it. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“It's not often someone considers a girl running for her life an inspiring act of bravery.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
Having allowed the one remark to slip past her lips, she quickly adjusted her tone a bit and continued. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Anyhow, I did indeed find something; the name and brand of a merchant guild stealing supplies from the adventurer's guild. My name is Victorique, by the way. Thanks for saving me.”</b></span> The loosely related sentences were uttered with some pause between them, as she was trying to get a better grasp of whom she was dealing with. All in all, he felt like a goody-two-shoes and a bit of a simpleton, but neither of those was necessarily a bad thing.<br>
<br>
She was snappped out of it when Breyen told them to catch up with the wagon. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Huh..?”</b></span> Her legs were absolutely killing her, but she apparently had to start running again. This clearly wasn't her lucky day. If all days in her new life were going to be like this, she was going to need to build up the stamina and leg muscle of an Olympian athlete just to keep up. She hadn't even had time to light up her pipe! With a mixture of grumbling annoyance and painful discomforted, she somehow got her legs to start running again. The combination of the words coming from someone that saved her life and the fact that the very people he saved her from might still be hiding somewhere nearby was enough to make her a bit more agreeable in chasing after the cart. <br>
<br>
She caught up with the cart with ease, albeit painful ease, yet realised that was where the next issue started. The cart couldn't go full-speed in a city, so it was possible to keep up with it by walking alongside it at a quick enough pace. With the length of her legs, that quick enough pace turned into a jog. However, she really wished to rest her legs for a bit, which she could if she'd get onto that cart like Breyen did. The latter required solving an ancient riddle. How did the halfling get into the riding cart? She had no clue. <br>
<br>
She was fast, but not the most agile and she had no experience whatsoever in jumping onto a moving vehicle. Perhaps she should just risk it? Surely it couldn't be too difficult. However, she wasn't eager to screw up and face-plant into the road and lose what little dignity she currently might posses. In the end, she followed the cart without daring to make the jump whilst silently cursing her short legs for failing her and starting to cramp up again. Surely the adventurer's guild would at least be close-by, right? Right..?</div>

<span style="font-size: 15px">Rachael frowned at the newcomer. He didn't seem that bad of a sort, but after what had just happened she wasn't fully trustful of him. However, when he turned and ran after the cart, the amazon decided that, no matter how nice he seemed, she wouldn't let the doll out of her site until she was sure that no harm would come to her. And so, Rachael ran after the man, her large strides gaining distance on the cart quickly. She watched as he leapt onto the side of the cart, her eyes widening. The guy wasn't just nice, he was fucking mental! She glanced around, wondering if others were seeing what she was as she slowed down, getting up alongside the cart and staring at the man clinging to the cart, giving him a bit of a wide birth while hoping he didn't try to jump off and slamming into her. </span><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 15px">"Is there a reason why we need to go to the guild so urgently, or...?"</span></span></span>​</div></div>

The politics of the city were involved and that would make things rather difficult. This type of thing wasn't her strong suit complicated relationships between organizations was something she had done her best to avoid in her old life, though even with her precautions those type of things had gotten her killed. Jean sighed, as she realized she had just put herself into a bad mood. She considered the jobs parameters, her tail slowly swinging from side to side. The key figures were the Adventurers' Guild and the Merchants Guild with the Docks and Shipyard being the main area of activity. Logically her investigation should start there, but there is still individuals who may have information. In that case the search should start in the Guild and then the locales near the docks. She pondered for a bit once again closing herself off from conversation thinking and making sure she had seen every angle she could. Jean straightened herself in her seat before giving the adventurer she know knew as Lathryn Goddard her rundown.</span><span style="color: #ff1493"> "I have an action plan. I'll start by questioning some of the local adventurers as well as any independent merchants before moving to the docks. I'll do my best to keep my affiliation with the Guild hidden when I inevitable come into contact with the Merchants Guild. For now though I  need to hit the market for supplies..." </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">Jean part spoke part thought to herself. She had gotten out of her chair and was pacing as she talked. </span><span style="color: #ff1493">"The situation is delicate and we don't have proof of the Merchants Guilds involvement. Hm, I'll need some personnel at this rate. If only I had surveillance equipment..." </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">As she continued to speak Jean walked away and to the Guild exit with nary a word of goodbye. <br>
<br>
She barely paid attention as she walked almost walking into multiple people lost in her thoughts as she was. </span><span style="color: #ff1493">"...in that scenario I'll have to manufacture some explosive ordnance." </span><span style="color: #ffffff">She paused and blinked in an expression which is as close to shock as she can manage the scenes in front of her was just too startling even for her. The giant women in a bunny girl outfit was the most eye catching for obvious reasons, almost as if to oppose the giant women their was a very small halfling girl Jean could just barely make out, a young man was driving the cart he was admittedly quite handsome but his look reminded Jean of the soldiers she sold equipment too. There was also a knight carrying what looked to be a life size doll of a girl, she could spot that the craftsmanship was quite good but she wasn't much of a doll maker so her appraisal was amateur at best. They appeared to be headed in the direction of the Adventurers Guild. If that meant they were Adventurers then such a large group should be a good place to start her investigation one or two must have some knowledge of the situation.  </span> </span></div>

Cinder had put a fair bit of distance between himself and the group of 'adventurers' he had some beef with, without looking back as he didn't want to get involved more than he already had. And then the creak of his wagon enticed him to turn around, finding a knight staring at him on the side of his wagon. The sudden appearance of the knight instantly made him flinch, nearly falling off his Clydesdale as it seemed to become anxious at his reaction.<br>
"What the..." Cinder blurted out, quickly regaining his balance as he looked the knight in the eyes. He already didn't like the knight much with the introduction he gave and the impression he made, though he at least seemed friendly enough given that he at least viewed the misdeeds of his comrades as what they were. Still, heading to the adventurers guild before selling his wares wasn't ideal, though he was unsure how the knight would react to his refusal. With reluctance, he sighed and pulled back the reins to his horse, giving the knight and the woman struggling to keep up time to properly climb aboard the wagon. "Fine, but do me a favor and don't startle me like that again. Also, if your buddies damaged my goods, please make sure they compensate me for the damages they caused." Cinder requested, looking behind towards the woman from earlier and making sure that she's caught up and has climbed atop of the wagon.<br>

<br>
<span style="font-size: 15px"><b>The wagon comes to a halt and all gathered, joining each other around it. </b>The knight leaps from the side of the wagon and lands on the ground with ease. He is far more an armored, pale haired monkey than he is a knight. His skills must be all over the place, just like his energy. Likely a lot of strength to hop around in near full plate as he does. He raises Poppy so that she can step to one side of the wagon. The dolls shoes tapped against the wood of the wagon as she found her place to sit. She straightens out her dress as she carefully takes a seat. She offers Breyen a nod of her head in thanks, unable to give him an appreciative smile.<br>
<br>
The adventurers eyes then shifted to Victorique. He extends a hand, his all over the place nature fading for a moment and adopting the mannerisms of a valiant knight once again, seeking to help her onto the wagon. <span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)">"Here, let's get you comfortable, Miss Victorique,"</span> he says with that stern look, yet compassionate eyes. He soon stands beside Rachael. It seems that he was keen on walking as to not overburden Cinder's horse. He was making absolutely sure not to be a bother for Rachael, keeping from wandering underfoot for the large woman. Unlike the masses that might have tried to sneak a peak up her dress at his angle, his eyes were kept straight ahead, not much interest in such things. He does, however, seem keen on answering her question as he casually raises a hand.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)">"You see, I act as a representative for the adventurers guild. At least that is what I do in this moment. I apologize if it seems I am trying to herd everyone towards the location, however, the guild is in dire need of assistance. There are villains that seek to sabotage our precious guild. I am working with Leader Lathryn Goddard to resolve the matter. The reason that I sought you all out was because we have need of our recently discovered Newbloods."</span> Breyen, looks up in thought. <span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)">"Let me think... so that you are all aware, both myself and the leader have had eyes on you all since you have approached the city. I was actually meant to meet with you in place of my comrades at the gates, but I had found Miss Victorique and made efforts to assist her in her escape of vile rogues after she acquired some information about our criminals. A merchants guild it seems. I had mistakenly left my comrade in charge of gathering you all, but mention of a monster seemed to affect his judgement. I do ask that you forgive him though. His circumstances have made him highly distrustful of those with monster titles. Anyways, let us leave that thought for now."</span><br>
<br>
Breyen goes quite for a moment after that thought, considering the difficulty that would come with investigating a merchants company. The merchants and the adventurers were very closely intertwined and even Breyen seemed to have difficulty thinking how he would proceed going forward. <span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)">"While the Adventurers guild handles both labor and expeditionary contracts, the merchants guild handles all mercantile and trade matters within the city. There is no one half without the other, but someone is trying to shift the balance."</span> Breyen looks up then, spotting Jean with a glimmer in his eye. <span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)">"It seems fate smiles upon us all today. All of the Newbloods have gathered in one place! My fellows, I ask that you look around. These are the people that you may just work quite closely with. At least, that is my hope.

<br>
<b>TLDR:</b> Skip to the second from the bottom paragraph (starts with “Well then...”) The rest is mostly interactions with Poppy and Breyen.<br>
<br>
Victorique silently listened to the half-giant's question. Why did they need to go the guild so urgently? Victorique didn't know either, although she had her own plans there. Showing the evidence she found would surely be rewarding enough. What Breyen wished to do with the rest of these folk was beyond her. She didn't bother to think it through either, as she'd much rather focus on breathing and on keeping up with this odd type of situation that felt like the start of a joke <s>a halfling, a half-giant and a knight ran after a cart</s>. <br>
<br>
She felt all the more relieved when the cart came to a halt. Her legs were killing her after all that running, so being able to hitch a ride was utter bliss. That's when she finally noticed it. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“By the gods above it moves!”</b></span> She instinctively shouted in surprise upon seeing Poppy stepping to a side of the wagon. She then realised she was the only one that hadn't been aware of this and she was quick to realise that she had likely made a fool of herself. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Eh.. sorry about that.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
She would gladly accept the help in getting into the cart, as without it, she'd probably be forced to climb. The latter wouldn't be impossible, but it'd sure as hell be uncomfortable with multiple underlying flavours of humiliating. That said, if he'd dare to lift her like a child, he'd get a royal amount angry glares, life-saving knight or not. She'd much rather have half her arm stretched to its limits due to being pulled up by it to make it seem at least somewhat like it was just a matter of giving her a helping hand. Were he to have done the latter, she'd give him a polite; <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Thank you.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She then realised she hadn't even properly introduced herself to her knight in shiny armour. She'd been either too out of breath or too occupied thus far, but now that she was finally sitting down and breathing normally again, she could do so. Except it wasn't needed. She was a fair bit surprised when she heard Breyen mention her name. How in the world did he know her already? It was probably by the same means with which he'd been able to save her from the assassins... She figured that was the most likely scenario.<br>
<br>
There was also one term that kept coming up, which she couldn't ignore. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Excuse me, but... what are Newbloods? You keep referring to us as such, but I'm not closer to figuring out its meaning.”</b></span> Perhaps she was looking deeper into it than necessary, but something about the word confused and intrigued her equal measure. <br>
<br>
The same applied to the doll she found herself sitting across from. Having gotten rid of the initial startle, she couldn't help herself from getting increasingly curious. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“So... I'm Victorique. Nice to meet you.”</b></span> She had initially wanted to ask 'do you talk?' but realised just in time how stupid it'd seem. If the answer was 'yes' it'd be an insult to whatever the intelligence of the thing, person, whatever, she was interacting with. If the answer would be 'no', shown by silence... it'd be an extremely awkward silence that'd follow. Now she'd only risk of talking to some sort of advanced toy was weighed out against simple being considered polite. The slightly better option. She really hoped the doll would actually reply.<br>
<br>
Response or not, she'd eventually scoot closer to Poppy, as the curiosity had fully taken over by now. Surely some investigation would teach her more about this creature. Whether to Poppy or to herself, perhaps to both, she'd soon start voicing the questions as they came to mind. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Hmm... So you're actually mostly wood then? Not hollow on the inside? Some solid craftsmanship. How do you move though? I can't see any wires or mechanisms. Is it some sort of self-governing telekinetic magic?”</b></span> As the idea came to mind, she attempted to use appraisal on Poppy. She soon started to wonder about other things. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Are you able to you feel anything...?”</b></span> The girl didn't seem to have any way to receive most sense signals, but she was clearly 'looking' somehow. Perhaps the same went for her other senses? <br>
<br>
That's when Victorique gained a growing desire to attempt to poke at Poppy's cheek.<br>
<br>
She decided to be wiser than that and tried to resist the growing desire to poke at Poppy's cheek. <br>
<br>
She failed and gave in to the desire to poke at Poppy's cheek and attempted to do just that. She was soon to realise the flaws of her ways. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Sorry about that, somehow I feel like it's more difficult to control my curiosity lately.”</b></span> The last was a realisation that came to her at the moment of speaking it. Was it her new body and situation? Perhaps. Either way, she was going to have to make some mental notes to make sure she wouldn't stick her nose too deeply into trouble. She'd already been chased down by lethal rogues due to it one before, after all. <br>
<br>
For better or worse, the cart-ride came to an end and her peculiar introduction to the doll ended. That's when she figured it was finally time to formally and officially introduce herself to all of the others. She hopped out of the cart, as getting out was a lot easier than getting in and looked around to the others. Some peculiar cat-tailed woman was new to the group, but Breyen seemed to know them in the same mysterious manner as he knew the rest of them.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Well then, circumstances being as peculiar as they may be, it's a pleasure to meet all of you. I'm Victorique Sopheana, a halfling and crime n... investigator, of sorts. Breyen managed to prevent my throat from being slid by some thugs after I managed to shadow them back to their hideout and link the merchant company they work for to the recent attacks on the adventurer's guild's supply lines. I can show you the proof once we're inside.”</b></span> She'd almost introduced herself as a crime novelist. Why in the world would she do so? She'd even kept that aspect of herself hidden in her previous life. The slip-up made her want to bite her tongue of, but at least she'd managed to sort-off hide it. <br>
<br>
She then turned to Cinder in particular. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Thank you for letting me ride along.”</b></span> She figured she'd better thank him before she'd forget doing so, as she was honestly grateful for it. It'd finally given her legs a chance to recover a little.</div>

<span style="font-size: 22px"><span style="font-size: 15px">Rachael followed the cart, watching the man to make sure he didn't make any sudden moves after the batshit stunt he pulled. When they got to the adventurer's guild, she listened with interest, a grimace passing over her face as she crossed her arms. This seemed like a very strange job to give to new people, especially people who had just entered into a city that seemed so distrustful of outsiders.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 22px"><span style="font-size: 15px">She leaned against the cart, her eyes looking down upon the guild member who had been speaking as she waited for him to stop before injecting her own, albeit blunt, viewpoint. </span><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 15px">"So, why us?"</span></span><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: null"> She slowly stood, starting to pace as she thought over what he had asked. </span><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"It doesn't make much sense to me. It seems like an important issue, if someone is apparently trying to upset some sort of balance between the two guilds. If they are trying to upset this balance, I would think that someone more specialized in detective work would be better. On the other hand, it might make sense if you wanted someone without ties to the adventurer's guild..."</span> She paused, giving the man a small, deadpan look, before waving to the open area they were in, as well as motioning to down the road, like she was trying to bring up the previous scene. </span><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 15px">"But then why would you explain in the open like this? And why cause a scene with the large group? At this point the element of surprise is near ruined."</span></span><br>
<br>
Rachael's right eye twitched as a headache sprang up. A hand went to her forehead as she tried to rub the hurt away, before asking, </span><span style="color: #9365b8">"I guess I am just confused at why you would put something so important in the hands of new people instead of more experienced adventurers who would be able to handle the situation not only faster, but more competently. The four things a person wants when giving a task is speed, knowledge, accuracy, and attentiveness. I can only give one of those. There must be others who can give all four."</span></div>

The doll mostly kept to herself since she had been saved from likely a harsh roughing up. Not that it would have mattered. She was no longer of flesh and she didn't feel much if anything. Sometimes she thought she could feel things, but it must be her imagination. Running her fingers over her dress, she swears she could feel the fabric, but it was difficult to tell was what real and what was fantasy.<br>

Though some might have considered such an outburst rude, Poppy only found it funny. I suppose that is her party trick, moving around like a puppet without strings. Poppy chuckles slightly, the wooden eyelids closing over glassy eyes. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Nothing to worry about. Even I had to get used to this as well. I'm kind of used to such reactions too."</span> As Victorique moves closer, Poppy straightens a bit. With no muscles to tense, she was able to hide her discomfort pretty well.<br>

Poppy lightly raps her fingers against her arm. The tapping was wood on wood, completely solid. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I died a long time ago. I woke up like this.

Poppy raises a hand towards the spot where she was poked. It surprised her when her visions suddenly shifted without warning, but overall the girl didn't mind too much. She just laughs, the sound emerging from the crack between her two wooden lips. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"It's fine! No need to worry. I get it. I won't keep anything from anyone. If you want to poke and prod, it won't really bother me." </span>She would listen to the giant woman and the knight speaking with each other, but she just seemed to go along with everything at the moment. It was her best bet to being able to remain in the city.<br>

<span style="font-size: 22px"><b>Streets of Ryken</b></span><br>

The wagon rolled on with the few upon it and the others walking at its side. Its course was set. For the adventurers guild. Breyen was keen on answering questions. "Allow me to explain a few things. Firstly, you all would be the best bet for us to deal with our troubles. I am aware that it is a lot to ask, but as you said, people would be unfamiliar with you if you were to help us. You should know, not all merchants are out for the adventurers guild's neck. Only one organization, we believe. We have strong ties to many merchant organizations." Breyen is silent for a moment, lost in thought before he shakes his head.<br>
<br>
"Anyways, you wonder what I mean by Newbloods, yes? You see, it is what we call those we seek to recruit, though it is a way of recruitment that is highly unconventional. It is the result of a spell. A magic wielder of ours is able to cast this spell to locate those of extreme potential and value." Breyen raises a finger into the air. "It is also a way of not recruiting in an obvious way. I am here for that exact reason, but it is a method unknown to those that wrong us. In fact, it has been a secret of the guilds for a long time. Why, even I was a Newblood once upon a time."<br>
<br>
Breyen looks to Rachael, this time his brows come together, getting quite furrowed. It is the one time he has shown anything other than a stern look to the group. "I would also ask that you cease speaking in such a way about my allies. They might be quick to act and perhaps a bit harsh, but they are not unexperienced. In fact, they are quite competent. Most of the adventurers guild have reason for adventuring. My comrade at the gate is not one of the city defense. He is a monster hunter. He has difficulty looking past monster tags, and I request that you not hold such things against him." Breyen's brows relax and he adopts the stern look once again. "While the young miss here is most likely innocent and harmless towards others, and I have even staked my own reputation on her continuing to be careful within the city, one can never know when it comes to [Monsters]. If you see him again, you should ask him why he did what he did."<br>
<br>
Soon enough, the guild building came into view, coming closer and closer. "I think now is a good time to ask this. I won't drag anyone to do what they do not want to, but there are many people without the basic needs of an adventurer. Day after day more friends return gravely wounded from the field and some not at all. Our very way of life is at risk here. It is selfish to ask it of you so soon, but will you help us? If you manage to achieve the goals asked of you, you will be rewarded."<br>

<br>
Most of Poppy's reply was cryptic or dodged an actual answer, but Victorique had a feeling it wasn't due to bad intent, but due to the doll simply not knowing about it. That said, Poppy made one vital mistake. She admitted that poking and prodding wouldn't really bother her. Thus the poking and prodding would comment, as Victorique was trying to figure out what made Poppy move in earnest. After all, Poppy was increasingly fascinating to Victorique, who was already wondering about the next question that'd come up due to her 'investigation' of the doll. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“It looks like your limbs are... how to put it... detachable? What happens if one of them was to come off?”</b></span><br>
<br>
For as interesting as a subject Poppy proved to be, the same didn't hold true for the giant bunny-girl. It wasn't that she wasn't interesting, but that she complete ignored Victorique's attempts to start up a round of introductions... Just like pretty much everyone else, for that matter. Heck, even the doll hadn't given her name in reply to Victorique's earlier introduction. Such great fun. Victorique would love to just call her 'doll' and the giant girl 'bunny' or something, but... She was wise enough to know that trying to tease someone that could stomp you to death in a single motion was probably not the best idea and didn't want to get on a bad footing with the doll she wished to learn more about either.<br>
<br>
She figured she'd turn her attention to her knight in shiny armour instead. The description of Newbloods stood out in particular. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Extreme potential and value..? You sure know how to flatter someone.”</b></span> She wasn't sure what to think of the entire spell, if anything, she almost felt like she was being flattered into a cult or something, but considering the words came from the man that saved her life mere moments ago, she decided against making any mean remarks about it.<br>
<br>
She was a bit surprised that Breyen asked them for their help, as it seemed pretty clear that they were already on board. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“No worries, I was on board from the get-go. Besides, I've still got to present my findings to the guild.”</b></span> That's when Victorique figured she might as well come out and say what else was on her mind. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b> “Although, well, about the risk parts... I'm not, you know, heroic. I won't have anyone's back. I'll run when I spot danger, rather than stay and fight. So eh... Don't count on me in a fight, for as far as that wasn't obvious. I'd gladly investigate some more though, or try to help come up with a plan.”</b></span></div>

He was quite long winded and passionate. His words shed a bit more light on the situation but it wasn't much she didn't already pick up at the guild. The others "newbloods" as Breyen called them gave her curious side glances every now and again. Jean had originally planned to stop them and question them, but when Breyen had started his speech and seemed to include her in it such talks were pushed to the wayside. She had decided to get comfortable and get a better position to listen to him so Jean had simply hopped in the back of the cart with nary a word. It was a bit of a setback that the group she had picked out to question were also new to the city and as such had little to no knowledge in regards to the job. Also the doll was alive. Jean picked up that apparently she was a [Monster] but her demeanor certainly didn't match the descriptions the locals would have for such creatures. Such perceptions were most likely formed by exposure to the more violent members of the Kingdom. Hm, could you call it Monstrum Phylum? Jean briefly wondered if their was a proper taxonomy study in this world.<br>
<br>
When Breyen reached the end of his informative lecture he asked for their assistance. At that Jean perked up. <span style="color: rgb(255, 20, 147)"><span style="font-family: 'courier new'">"I'm already part of the guild as of an hour ago so I'm actually already on the job. Some assistance would be ideal so I'll work with whoever decides to join."</span> </span>Jean spoke out loudly yet with little emotion.<span style="color: rgb(255, 20, 147)"> <span style="font-family: 'courier new'">"Ah, right the names Jean pleasure to work with you and all that."</span></span></span></div>

<br>
Only moments after they had gotten introductions out of the way, someone called them (or rather Breyen) into the guild. Beckoning the others to follow, Breyen led the group out of the streets and into the building. The man who'd beckoned Breyen was somewhat dubious looking and Breyen didn't seem to be all that comfortable speaking to him. The reason for it soon became apparent, as the man spoke up. <b>“We've managed to get one of those guys you took down to talk, the ones were were chasing the hobbit, although the other one managed to swallow some sort of poison before we could start our interrogation.”</b> The man was clearly used to being an interrogator and from a quick glance, there was definitely some blood on his clothing, so it was likely that he hadn't gone about it in a nice way. The fact that he'd managed to get a confession from a man who couldn't have been brought in all that long ago would further establish that. <br>
<br>
Breyen decided to focus on the outcome, rather than the methods, although the knight clearly didn't like them. <span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><b>“Does that mean we can arrest the ones responsible?”</b></span> The other man shrugged. <b>“It's something, but it might not be enough. It's up to the big boss.”</b> Breyen gritted his teeth and turned towards Victorique. <span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><b>“You said you found something. Let's bring it to our sect leader Lath to see if it's enough.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Jean would instantly recognise the sect leader, as she'd only just walked away from him. After a quick explanation by Breyen, Victorique triumphantly stepped forwards. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="color: #EEE8AA">Victorique Sopheana</span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-characters.504269/page-2#post-11212885" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-characters.504269%2Fpage-2%23post-11212885&amp;hash=4c09af273696000674cbb07e193f906a"><img src="/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FG3Bxixb.png%3F1&amp;hash=f120377741d9e9941f5211e985873388" data-url="https://i.imgur.com/G3Bxixb.png?1" class="bbImage " loading="lazy" style="" width="" height=""></a></span></b>​</div><br>
Victorique took the evidence she'd gathered out of her pocket dimension and showed it to Lath. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I found this...”</b></span> She took out the piece of fabric with the company brand on top of it. She even added the hand of grain she'd brought along with it. Upon the mention of the company name and the leader's name she had heard, Lath's eyes lit up. <b>“It's the same as what we've gotten from the interrogation. That's enough reason to move in on them, but we'll have to be quick about it. If they move the goods or hide their tracks, it will only further complicate things. We don't have any other around at the moment, I'm afraid. Can I trust you and these Newbloods to handle this?”</b><br>
<br>
Breyen nodded. <span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><b>“We'll go there immediately.”</b></span> He then turned towards the others. <span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><b>“This could be dangerous, but if we catch these criminals, it'll mean a lot for the guild and the safety of the city overall. I really hope I can count on your aid.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Victorique was a little hesitant. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I think I'll be able to show the way and I might even recognise some of the people I heard speaking, but if it's a fight... That's not my thing.”</b></span> Victorique couldn't help gloss at the half-giant. Perhaps it was a bit preconceived, but she looked like she was made for this type of mission.<br>
<br>
On assumption that Jean and Rachael would agree, Victorique would end up trying her best to find her way back to the warehouse she'd sneaked into previously. She had to think a few times, as she'd been very busy running for her life and hadn't taken in too much of the scenery, but they eventually found their way to the building in question. It had a nicely decorated front entrance towards the main street and what looked like a backdoor towards some alleys in the back. Both its sides were bordered by other buildings. <span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><b>“There might still be someone inside. I can cover the font. Can the three of you watch the back to catch anyone trying to escape? I don't expect there to be more trained assassins, so try not to use lethal force unless absolutely necessary.”</b></span></div>

Rachael had been along for the ride of a lot of the investigation, but she didn't seem to really care about it all too much. It wasn't really her cup of tea, so she couldn't and wouldn't be able to help them do it any faster than they already were. However, that issue changed when they started to talk about going to the thieves base of operations and cutting out the problem at its source.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Don't worry, cupcake," </span>Rachael said, a smirk on her face and snark in her voice, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"If it's a fight, then it'll be <i>my </i>thing~" </span>She cracked her knuckles in expectation of the fight ahead, the woman obviously excited to actually be able to work out her frustrations on something. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"And as for killing them, I wouldn't worry too much about that. They'll go down, but they won't be in the ground, at least. Just maybe heavily concussed."</span>​</div></div>

Rachael and Victorique ended stationed at the backdoor of the warehouse. Victorique made sure to keep a fair bit of distance from the door itself though. Just to be safe. She did, however, instinctually reply to one remark Rachael had made. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Did you just call me cupcake?”</b></span> There was a lot more surprise and confusion in her voice than that there was anger or frustration. The conversation wouldn't last for long, however, as they could hear the sound of a door being kicked in from across the building. Breyen had entered.<br>
<br>
A few voices could be heard from inside. <b>“Fuck, get him!”</b> The sound of something being thrown followed. <span style="color: red"><b>“No, you get him! I'm outta here!”</b></span> The sounds someone becking kicked into a wall and of someone making their way towards the door followed. <b><span style="color: green">“I surrender!”</span></b> … For a short moment, it was silent. <br>
<br>
Then someone rushed out through the back-door. It was a scrawny looking fellow with eyes that darted left, right, up... He spotted the half-giant and immediately looked shocked. <span style="color: red"><b>“Aaah!”</b></span>  He sounded the part as well. It looked like he was planning to rush right past Rachael, if given the chance.<br>
<br>
That's when another person left the building. Except not in the traditional way. Someone had actually jumped out the window, one floor above them, managing to somehow make a dodge-roll to break his fall and ending up behind Rachael and directly in front of Victorique. Victorique herself was momentarily stunned by the sudden appearance of a man in front of her. Did this guy really just jump out of a freaking window and land directly here...? Yes, yes he had.<br>
<br>
It'd be up to Rachael to decide if she'd attempt to catch the guy directly in front of her or back-up Victorique, or if she'd perhaps figure out a way to catch both of them. It looked like Breyen was still wrapping things up on the inside.</div>

She seemed to have talent for investigation as her findings had been the evidence needed for the Adventurers Guild to justify action. </span></span> They found themselves at a non descript building. It looked similar enough to any of the others to warrant no suspicion, but if their findings were correct then the perpetrators the Guild was looking for would be here. While Victorique and the Gian Rachael guarded the backdoor for anyone trying to escape, Jean lacked any direct combat ability so she holed up in a vantage point on the street. Anyone who got through them would also have to contend with her. Jean looked around the corner keeping the two girls within her sight. There was silence for a time, until muffled shouts could be heard from inside. From Jeans position the voices were much harder to make out but she knew something would happen soon. She held aloft the device in her hand poised and ready to strike.<br>
<br>
There was silence again and it only served to tense her up further though she kept her nerves as calm as possible she had never fought in her old life so the anticipation of combat was getting to her. Suddenly the backdoor burst open and a man came out shocked at the two ready to meet him especially Rachael. While he was a potential target to deal with Jean stuck to her role and waited soon after the window at the top of the building shattered. A man jumped out and landed upon the street not far from Jeans position. But, still near the Victorique and Rachael. This would be troublesome. She couldn't risk him getting away though anyone coming out of that building was being captured and interrogated. They couldn't afford letting anyone pass especially not if Jean wanted the money involved in this job. Jean took up a pitchers pose and held high the device in her hand her body glowed with a yellowish aura as she brute forced her mana into the devices mechanisms then threw it at the feet of the man.<b> (Armament No. 01 Ver. 1.00: "Electro Capacitor" Grade E - 1 Post Cooldown)</b><br>

The amazon was responding, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Yeah, because-"</span> when she was cut off by the man busting through the front door at almost the same time as the person busted through the top window. She looked between the two for a few moments, wondering what the best course of action may be, before seeing Jean charging up something. Thinking fast, she reached forward, gripping the shirt of the man in front of her before swinging him around , stepping towards the other man to slam his associate into him while the bang rang out, the amazon not sure what exactly was occurring, but being hopeful that she wouldn't get caught in the blast.​</div></div>

<br>
The man that had the unfortunate luck of running straight into the waiting half-giant was about to veer off into the alley when he saw Rachael looking towards his window-jumping buddy, but he could soon feel himself being pulled back. And odd <span style="color: red"><b>“Yargh”</b></span> sound escaped him when he was yanked away and sent flying towards his associate. <br>
<br>
Said associate was trying to figure out his surroundings for only a brief moment, before deciding upon going after what seemed to be the easiest target; the small halfling woman. With one man coming after her willingly and one a lot less willingly, Victorique wasn't even sure what way to dodge or run. <br>
<br>
That's when Jean's projectile crossed over her and right into the two men heading her way. She was [lucky] for them to be just far enough away to have her remain outside of the electric discharge range. Thanks to the combination of crashing into each-other and being given a shock immediately afterwards, the two men didn't seem particularly eager or able to get up again.<br>
<br>
It also didn't take long for Breyen to appear. <span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><b>“Ah, I see you managed to catch them both. Great! I've finished up inside. They were trying to move the stolen goods before we'd be able to get here, but thanks to your help, we were able to rally and get here quickly enough to catch them red-handed.” </b></span> He walked up to the two and fetched a rope from somewhere to tie them up. Were the others to glance through the now open door, they'd spot there were three more tied up on the inside.<br>
<br>
With these arrests made, it would only be a matter of time before they'd get these men to talk and to betray their employer, especially if they were to be handed to the Guild's interrogator. Although their 'job' was done, Jean, Rachael and Victorique were invited to wait in the Guild's hall to enjoy a meal and await some answers, for as long as they were willing to wait around.<br>
<br>
After a few hours, they'd be presented with reason, freshly dragged out by the interrogator's efforts. It was more pitiable than expected. The goods stolen from the Guild weren't worth the effort, so it was clear that it was an attack against the guild from the get-go. The company they'd entered into turned out to be from a rich merchant with a particular grudge against the Guild. The arrested men, including the surviving assassin, had all admitted they'd been hired by middle-men that could easily be traced back to this merchant himself. It turned out the man's daughter, among others, had fallen pray to some monsters that'd suck into the city, which the Guild had failed to eradicate. The same monsters were the ones that had made Breyen's companions so suspicious of them, as they'd been the ones to arrive on-scene and witness the bloodbath. <br>
<br>
Whilst this explained the actions, it didn't justify them, so the merchant was placed under arrest and handed over to the jurisprudential branch. Thanks to the gathered evidence and confessions, it'd be a relatively quick and easy case, which would prevent the peace and quite between the Adventurer's Guild and Merchant's Guild from crumbling further. For now, at least.  <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-size: 22px">Isekai Hell RP Grade</span></b><br>​</div>What an rp. Between all the characters starting separated, some of the characters acting like they would not engage with the main mission, and the sudden and repeated revelations of certain pieces of information, it's a wonder the rp was able to end in a tidy fashion. Perhaps it was related to the sudden departure of the narrator that things were able to come to a close at all.<br>
<br>
<b>Aftermath</b><br>
For the sake of city peace and surface collaboration, the guilty company and those involved were buried. While rumors would persist, there was no official instance of factions warring with each other openly. Noble faction was called in to handle the matter as an impartial third party. Breyen and those loyal to him were demoted in the guild for knowingly allowing a monster into the city. The monster was summarily dealt with. Tahl and the men with no love for monsters were given promotions to replace Breyen and his allies and were secretly credited with the dispatching of the criminal element causing the guild's misfortunes. While Rachael and Cinder were thanked for their efforts and compensated in Rykes, they would not be offered positions with the guild due to the public display they showed and their conduct throughout. Jean and Victorique were also rewarded and were additionally offered membership with the guild after both displayed skills and temperament suitable to working in a demanding and mature environment of a prestigious faction.<br>
<br>
<b>Rewards<br>
Victorique </b>- 45 points (narration bonus applied) - optional title acquired [Ryken Adventurer Guild Investigator] - character's inquisitive mind and assistance to guild has made them ideal in handling situations of a more subtle and sometimes unclear nature. When it is unclear who or what needs dealt with, a guild investigator is sent in to ascertain the details before the muscle goes in to clean it up.<br>
<br>
<b>Jean </b>- 25 points - optional title acquired [Ryken Guild Tinkerer] - character has shown an aptitude with stuff and things over people or combat. Has assisted Guild. Guild would leverage such individuals to act as a supporting back line to their adventurers by giving them the means to research and develop various methods to assist adventurers as they go about their various and generally dangerous tasks. <br>
<br>
<b>Cinder </b>- 14 points (quitting rp penalty applied) - optional title acquired [Ignorant] - character has publicly made it apparent they do not know how the world works. Will regularly be swindled and taken advantage of in business and other transactional relationships for seeming the fool. However, always being underestimated can create special opportunities.<br>
<br>
<b>Rachael </b>- 22 points - optional title acquired [Exhibitionist] - character looks, dresses, and acts in a way to get as much attention as possible. It is nearly impossible for the character to go unnoticed. Men will Leer and Women will scowl wherever the character goes.</div>
