Stepping back into Banished Flats after having heard from Harry on his way back, Zenkichi was a little surprised to see that a few more Seekers had already shown up, including Band. He was one of the last to arrive, though it seemed that Nadia was keen to take that crown for herself. A little wet, he approached the counter to pay for a room for himself, receiving and jokingly hefting his own championship belt/room key as if he’d won a great tournament. Just practice for when he did win, he told himself reassuringly. 

Joining the others, he sat down and tried not to get too much water everywhere. When Nadia did arrive, and promptly showed off her frankly ludicrous amount of cash (for a single day’s “work”, no less) and explained where it was from, he was immediately put off. Terry, though, was the one to respond and air the thoughts that he was sure a few of them had. Though, the more specific knowledge of the victim, for some reason, made a part of Zenkichi relax at the fact that Nadia had basically Robin Hood’d a literal devil-man. 

Well, one of those Spirits he fused with [i]was[/i] basically, if not literally, an angel, so that actually made sense. [color=BFBFBF]”So, looks like we’ll have a mini-boss to deal with at some point, too then…”[/color] he sighed. He hoped the guy wouldn’t be too huge a pain in the ass to deal with. Terry went on to give a couple of food recommendations and then ask about whether they could discuss the elephant in the room. When he brought that up, Zenkichi addressed him, his voice dropping. 

[color=BFBFBF]”So, if you’ve noticed other people’s eyes looking a lot more red than usual, that means they’re still under Galeem-the big bad guy-’s curse. It also means they can’t stop a fight till they’re beaten, one way or another. Knockouts work, but it means starting a fight now is a lot riskier that you [i]know[/i] the risks. It also means that if we start talking about the more specific parts of Galeem and what we’re calling the World of Light, they kinda…gloss over it mentally. You’ll sound like you’re talking about some technobabble or some kind of intricate thing they can’t wrap their head around. The only problem is if you go blabbing too much, you might catch the attention of our enemies, who [i]are[/i] in the know, and immune to the whole system anyway.”[/color]

He paused to take a breath and wipe off a little water from his outfit. [color=BFBFBF]”Mobius. An organization made up of twenty-six incredibly powerful people, watch with a unique power that can turn the tide of a battle in an instant.”[/color] Thinking back to the fight with the Gravemind and what happened to Midna and Goldlewis, he pushed on even as his mood dropped noticeably. [color=BFBFBF]”The good news is, we’ve beaten a few of them before. The bad news is, two of them are supposed to guard each of the Guardians, and with seven of those Guardians already defeated…we’re in trouble already. Last time we ran into them, three had joined up and killed two of our own. We got two of them in return, but the third just took off after we took out the Guardian. They typically wear very distinctive armor, so as long as you’re with one of us, we’ll probably be able to tell. Me, Band, Nadia, Sakura, Pit, Captain Falcon, Junior, Juri, Rika, Therion and Primrose have all fought a Consul before, so we should be able to recognize the armor. Basically everybody except Amaterasu, now that I think about it.”[/color]
