Sonomachi City - Dangeki Pawn & Parlor Café
Well, since her mistr, erm... master had deal with most of what there was to do, all that was left to Ellie, indulge Ling with some more information, which she did with a teasing smile in her lips "Hmm~ I didn't knew that you had a bone to pick with the Jackets, Ling-Ling. What they did, splash water on you on a rainy day?"
"Either way, The Jackets are were they are supposed to be, at the Old Port/Industrial District. You can probably find them on the Freeway as well." Ellie pointed to a portion of the city map, making the Jackets usual tracks with small dots of red light, "But to get them, Ling-Ling, you'll need a ride of your, own... unless you think you can outrun racing motorcycles on foot. But fear not, the great Ellie-sama as just what you need and the best part is that it'll be totally free on this limited time offer." As Ellie said so, she handed an ignition key to Rui-Ling, smirking as she finished her explanation "It's on the store's back. Just bring it back in one piece, ok?"
Indeed, on the back store, just under a dusty cloth, Rui-Ling would find a red
Kawasaki Ninja 1000, actually more of a touring than a sports motorcycle (as evidenced by the attached sidecar), but still it had the power needed to outwit the Jackets in their own game. However, Ellie's advice would be best to be heed, because said vehicle belonged to none other than the World's Strongest Mage, who was borrowing her master's garage, since Reiko's own was full of junk.
Nevertheless, with the tools in hand, it was up to Rui-Ling, how things would turn out, our so, it was thought.
After finishing up with Ling, Ellie hurried back inside the Café, to scoop her beloved mistr-, erm... master, out of the trap she'd set on her own. Owing t the fact that no Chaser was left in the Dangeki right now, Ellie used this opportunity to get a little more intimate with Aria as she crossed her arms around her master's body and lifting her up as Ellie's hands mapped the gentle slopes doting Aria's chest.
"There you go, Master, I hope you are not mad, I had to dispatch Ling-Ling first. Of course, if you are, I'll gladly accept any kind of punishment you'd like to admonish~" Ellie teased, revealing a fanged grin.
Sonomachi City - Amagumi Park
As the first one of the Chasers arrived at the park, no matter who it would be, they would notice that the usually lively place was almost empty, even the wind was as cold as the very caress of a shinigami. Most, if not all, lampposts seemed to be flickering and a strange mist gathered around the park at this early evening.
Independent of what course of action they would take, the Chasers would be met with a serious problem, the park was too large and they would have to choose between dividing their forces to save time, or play safe and explore the place as a team.
There were four possible areas of interest according to Ellie's reports:
-
The Lake: A small lakeside walk, used frequently as a track by would be athletes. Reports of weird lights appearing on the water's edge had been coming steady for at leas a week.
-
The Playground: A playground for the infants who visit the park. Thee swings have been spotted moving on their own, despite the air being as still as tonight.
-
The Acoustical Shell: An open air theater used in many different presentations. There had been sightings of the equipment functioning and even "music" being played when no one is around.
-
The Botanical Garden: The city's repository of green life, it's kept and maintained by Sonomachi's University Bio Sciences Center and boosts a dazzling collection of temperate and subtropical fauna from all over the world. Reports of " queer things" moving in the bushes only to disappear when you get close, were coming for a time now.
The choice was theirs now, independent of it the nagging feeling that they were being observed by something would be plaguing the Chasers from now on...
Sonomachi City - Amagumi Park
The sound of loud music and revving engines filled the the gasoline smelling air as the gang of misfits known as the Yellow Jackets, after their obnoxious hornet stripe jackets and their leader, the infamous
Suzumebachi, the hornet-like Youkai, was readying them selves for another night out, doing as they please.
On the central position, a
figure engulfed by shadows thicker that oil grinned widely and she observed the Jackets go on their routine. No one appeared to mind the monstrous being's presence, so either it belonged there and was no concern of their, or it was somehow concealed, independent of that, its slasher smile only grew wider as the renegade bikers were set on their course.
One by one the pieces were falling in their place, the figure thought as she scuttled back to the shadows
"Indeed, observing the show from the side every now and then could prove to be most interesting... ku ku ku."
