Wes Gusto| Crocus, Café
@Jangel13“I rather not cause anyone else problems or bring them into one. But thanks for the offer.” It started to feel a bit weird talking to someone again. Usually in the guild he was the silent one and while in Edolas he still talked to a minimum. He might have tendencies to ramble on during a discussion, but that’s usually because of how his thoughts tend to leave his mind.
“Angelo, let’s try to take a walk around the city. After a nice drink it feels a bit nice to walk and see some sites in the city than sitting here for the rest of the day.” Wes sat up and place a few jewels on the table to pay for the drinks and walked outside as he waited for Angelo.
Grane Falo | Crocus, Underground
@Crimson RavenOdd, Grane thought the news of the Council’s defeat would have spread through most of Fiore already. The council member couldn’t stay here for too long, there were other things that he had to attend to. But to answer the wizard’s question, he briefly stated that “While I was away on a mission, the Council became corrupted by malicious council members. To prevent me from finding out or become suspicious of them, they frequently sent me new missions to oversee various things that kept me away from interacting with those members in person. Eventually, Phoenix Wing grew too tired of how these corrupted council members behaved and decided to stop them. Although I would have prefer a non violent solution, the corrupted council members apparently disagreed with the guild’s offer to stop and a battle erupted between the two groups. I eventually joined the battle to prevent the guild from destroying anymore of the Council. But during my fight with, I felt nothing but sincerity from what they proclaimed and the effort that they displayed during our fight. It made me believe in their side and I allowed them to win at the end. After that battle and with the few remaining Council Members that I could trust, we rebuilt the Magic Council, reformed and changed the things that the corrupted members damaged.”
“We’re making some progress, but apparently not enough. You already saw the battle today that took place in the dome. There were reports of a dark guild attacking some guild members and trashing a few buildings yesterday. And another report of some wizards causing a mess in a guild’s hotel. Things are only getting worse and I intend to find a way to prevent them from escalating any further.”
Monsoon | Crocus, Safe House -> Outside of the Crocus
@Lunarlors34Monsoon was on the outskirts of the city and made no delays this time to meet another member of organization. Although Minami and Shiro left after she gave her card, Monsoon could still hear her as she said "C'mon Shiro.... We have some slayers to kill.". This was only possible because of the water that Monsoon gave her to drink when she first arrived in the safe house. The girl might have specialized in the water type of magic, but from this she clearer wasn’t experienced or skilled enough to sense his small amount of latent anti-ethernano particles inside her drink. From this range, Monsoon could tell where she was and hear enough while she still unaware of the anti-ethernano in her body. Information gathering from this is something Monsoon valued the most and usually had the anti-ethernano remain dormant for as long as it can last.
On one of the mountains that neighbored Crocus, Monsoon reached near the peak. In front of him was an odd cave, if anyone saw it, they would be confused on rather it was manmade and natural. But Monsoon already knew the answer. From inside the dark entrance of the cave, a man emerged with a bored expression on his face as his walking appeared sluggish. Once he was outside, sounds of the cave collapsing could faintly be heard as the man gentle griped his hand until the cave could finally be seen to be sealing itself by from inside. The man yawned as he waited for what Monsoon came here for. ”As we discussed, here is the other portion of the jewels that we agreed to.” From inside his garbs, he tossed a huge pouch filled with jewels to the man. ”Great, but next time, try giving me a job that is worth my time.”
”Eventually, yes. But your skills were best suited in leaving Crocus underground caverns without any noticeable physical traces of your departure.”
”Then I hope there’s no disappointment in the next job that you decide to give me.”
”And you won’t find one if decide to actually join the organization, Frye.”
”Perhaps, but like any group, guild, organization, or something with more than to two people that tries ask me to stay longer. You have to actually show me something that catches my interest than simply talking about it if you want me on board for bit.” With that said, Frye walked away and Monsoon began his walk back to the safe house.
