[@Guess Who],[@Suku] [hider=Reign of Terror] [color=00aeef][b]"Joan of Arc...the Maiden of Orleans."[/b][/color] Seamus said,musing something to himself as he curled his index finger and thumb around his chin. [color=00aeef][b]"...But history reports her as being a woman of God...why would she allow her card to be used for a murder? The bit about her not being part of the eight classes is especially troubling. Thus far, we've only documented Eight Classes of Class Cards. If there is a Ninth waiting to be discovered...it must be extremely powerful to allow her to sap up mana in such a wide area."[/b][/color] It was clear to see that even with the new information present, Seamus was absolutely stumped as to how to proceed. It wasn't like they could go knocking down doors looking for cards. Well, they COULD, but the Mages' Association would likely have those responsible fired. With the little evidence they had on hand, it seemed that they were all at a dead end. The best they could hope for would be results from the forensics team, and even then they'd need a potential suspect to test DNA from. [color=00aeef][b]"I appreciate your cooperation in this. For now though while we wait for more leads...I'd like to take you all to meet my boss."[/b][/color] Seamus said, heading to his car, expecting the Masters to follow him. One hectic failed stunt of a Fast and the Furious Movie later, and Seamus would have them double parked safe and sound in front of the pharmaceutical company known as "Muninn Medicines"' head office. [color=00aeef][b]"Walk with me, and stay close. Can't get into the important areas without clearance. Many of our employees are in the know about Class Cards and such, but...do keep your voices down. I don't need to order any more brain scrubbings after today, I should hope."[/b][/color] Leading them along, Seamus would take them around to see the various subsections of Muninn's operations, ranging from the alchemists and healers creating the various seemingly normal drugs used by people, ranging from stuff to treat blood pressure, to stuff that looked like it was made to have someone's blood vessels explode. This...definitely wasn't an ordinary pharmaceutical company. The awkwardly silent minutes would tick on by as the Masters were lead along by their supervisor, before they were deposited in a bright white room, adorned with dull furnishings with a rather dull looking older man sitting behind a dull desk. His attention seemed entirely focused on the only object of multiple colors in the room: A normal looking dart board with several darts already lining the innermost sections, three on the bordering green line of the bullseye, one sticking out of the bullseye, and two on the inner 9 and 16 respectively. His tongue was pushed out of his mouth in concentration. Clearing his throat, Seamus said: [color=00aeef][b]"Director..."[/b][/color] just as he was about to throw the dart. His concentration completely shot, he would up hitting the wall with the dart, causing his expression to pale. [color=FFFFE0][b]"Shiiiit...dammit Seamus, I just got done with all that paperwork, and you jus- Oh. Uh...hi there kids."[/b][/color] the man said, suddenly trying to appear proper again as he fixed his loosened tie. [color=FFFFE0][b]"Welcome to Humanity's Last Hope."[/b][/color] [/hider] [@Etranger] [hider=The Exiled Heirs] [color=DEB19E][b]"HOW LONG ARE YOU GONNA KEEP THIS HIT N' RUN UP!?"[/b][/color] The man roared at Sajan, seeming to be trying to fight in spite of his accumulated injuries. It seemed that he was nearly at his end when all of a sudden, his body lost its black armor and weaponry, his Class Card shooting out of his chest and to the ground. [color=DEB19E][b]"...Edward...WHAT ARE YOU DOING EDWARD!?"[/b][/color] he screamed before kneeling down to pick it up, suddenly collapsing. It seemed that his Class Card had uninstalled once he'd run out of mana...his Noble Phantasm, though seemingly powerful against a large area, was incredibly draining for him to use. Now, his bleeding and defenseless form lied sprawled out before Sajan, his Class Card stuck into the concrete by the corner. Now would be by far the easiest time to strike and end this once and for all, but...apprehending him could be just as simple, given that he was unconscious. Whichever choice Sajan would make, the flames were steadily growing nearer, seeming to spread even despite the Noble Phantasm's user being indisposed. He was losing blood fast, and would likely just die from the smoke and flames if Sajan chose to just leave him there. The arrows were at least gone, so that was surely something to be thankful for when needing to make a critical decision. [/hider] [@Enkryption] [hider=RUN SEAMUS RUN!] It took maybe four seconds before Seamus decided that running would be the best course of action...given that he knew how powerful a Berserker Install was. Even a weak one could break his spine easily...and that one seemed...especially huggy. Stepping on the gas of his car, Seamus hurriedly drew out a magic circle on the passenger seat, before all lights on his way started turning green. With his hand freed from creating the circle, and now trying to speed the hell away from Ophelia, his call would get put through to Muninn...and put on hold. Seeing that he was lacking in ways to defend himself from a Class Card user, his next course of action was to abandon his car after cancelling his spell, considering that Ophelia was likely already closing in past where the lights had been green. Kicking open a manhole cover by reinforcing his shoe, Seamus dove into the sewers, figuring that just maybe she wouldn't want to follow him down there. Keeping his phone in his breast pocket, he cold only wait while on hold to call in backup. ...In times like these, he really regretted not taking a card himself. [/hider]
