"Hmmm S' ben a phew ears ince a eaned it," Yasa said in response to her question.
Yasa walked down the hall moving the sugar cube in his mouth a hand on his chin, he was sure her power wouldn't cause any real problems in small bursts but the potential for it worried him slightly. A small sighed escaped from him since he wasn't going to find anyone else willing to work for minimum wage in that place with such a good record. He'd deal with whatever came when they'd have to cross that road, for now he just wanted to get this cat as fast possible so he could return home. His gaze moved over to Helexa as they made it outside and to her car, staring at it he blinked a few times before reaching over and gently taking her keys.
"She's outside town so I'll take you up on that," Yasa said. "...is this car sexist? Never mind let's just go."

When they pulled up to the gate of the house Yasa shut the thankfully still intact car off and stepped out. His gaze raised to the actual building and his eye twitched slightly as he tossed Helexa her keys. The building was a large victorian style manor, accompanied with multiple spires, and stretching out about 65 yards Yasa had to turn his head to look at it. A large fountain sat in the center surrounded by vegetation and flowers, he could see a single man attending to the flowers.
"...yeah that makes sense," he said walking towards the large building.
The man who was an older gentleman dressed in a stereotypical butler's outfit with a white shirt, cufflinks, the whole ensemble.
"You must be the people Madam are expecting. Right this way."
Yasa looked over at Helexa before following the man with a small sigh.
"...First rich person we encounter and it's a cat we're going after."

Walking inside the house Yasa looked around before crossing his arms, he expected a fanciful house full of trinkets, paintings, expensive vase's a long red carpet leading to the main room, and priceless artifacts that cost more than the actual mansion. The worst part he was correct, it was like walking into the governor's mansion if he took it from another richer governor. A sweet scent also permeated the air causing Yasa to look around for a moment at the furniture and it's polished shine.
"Is that Dragon Essence?"
"Yes sir, we've used it to keep the house clean for many years."
"I agree it does leave that good polish, and the scent is wonderful. Do you drink any?"
"It's not good to drink sir."
"Oh...I knew that. Just...making a joke."
Yasa followed the man to a large white room with a single door behind the Madam and a large painting on the far wall.
"Thank you for coming Detective, m-miss Helexa" Madam said stuttering slightly. "Welcome to the Leriso mansion, thank you for showing them in Lawrence."
"It was my pleasure madam would you like your sweet tea now," Lawrence said.
"No that's quite alright Lawrence regular tea will suffice, anyway Detective I appreciate your help. My kitten Mr. Caturs is my world."
Yasa closed his eyes and removing his glasses squeezed the bridge of his nose.
"Caturs...right and the other dimension in that door right," Yasa said pointing at the door.
Madam Leriso nodded before Yasa pointed at the painting, which was of a tall older man dressed in a finely tailored black suit, his slicked back hair had bits of grey around the edges.
"Who is that?"
"My older brother Wilhelm, he's normally the one I ask but he's away on business."
"What about the butler."
"I have a phobia of alternate dimensions sir, though I have served the Leriso family since their youth I have yet to conquer this phobia...please forgive my ineptitude."
"Uh...no worries man...well we may as well get started, are you ready Helexa. You've gone through one of these doors right, they normally lead to a staircase that leads to all kinds of other doors."

Larel smiled and nodded happy to get a chance to eat, he brought a hand to his stomach as a loud growl escaped from it. He narrowed his eyes at his own stomach before sighing a bit, and raising his attention to the village. Moments before all these people had been fast asleep and now they were back to their normal lives without a second thought. He wasn't sure what to think about it, but after thinking about what they all went through just to return to their travels he couldn't comment on it. He looked back up at Hotaru hearing her talk about the chicken and he gave a small nod.
"It definitely saves time, I'd get hungry enough to consider eating it raw whenever I caught it," Larel said.
Looking in the direction Hotaru pointed and walked over to retrieve the tea, he stared at the stand for a moment before putting up a sweet tea and eyeing it.
"...I haven't had this in years," Larel mumbled.
He made his way back to Hotaru after paying for the tea and held it up to Hotaru.
"I drank this when I was in the capital, I haven't had it in a long time. Let's drink this."

Alari removed his glasses and cleaned them with a small cloth as he listened to Mera, his eyes letting of their regular red glow.
"...indeed the idea of a peaceful moment helps me through some of those sad times," Alari said.
There wasn't a time when he wasn't aware of the shadows that approached Larel daily and sometimes hourly, he took on that burden so Larel wouldn't have too, but even he worked towards a day, even if it was just one where that wouldn't be a worry. When she spoke of Nero he raised his gaze back to her, his eyes moving to the ink for a moment. His eyebrows arched a bit at the information but Nero was a very interesting man he could see him doing something like that. A part of him wanted to study the material, see if he could find out how Nero made it but he felt he'd just waste it doing so and kept himself silent.
Alri put his glasses back on and adjust them when Mera brought up a day free of worry, he shut his eyes for a moment considering a day like that. After a few moments he opened his eyes as he leaned against a tree.
"Probably worry about tomorrow," Alari said sighing. "Though if I really had a day like that I can only think of two things I'd like to do. Sitting down with everyone and telling happy stories would be one. Remember that village we met in, where I was digging the graves...there was a little girl there. She'd visit me all the time and would sometimes sit in my home and ask me for stories...I'd tell her one, then she'd tell one, then me and it'd go on until the sun went down. I had worries then...but they seemed so far away in that moment."
Alari touched his sleeve for a moment a small smile on his face before crossing his arms.
"Since I don't see Larel playing along with that idea while I'm in the room, I'd prefer the other one, going on a date with you."

Yasa sat at his desk arms crossed and eyes shut, he wasn't sure how to feel about this right now. This was a real customer one that legitimately needed their help, he reached up and ruffled his head wondering how this was a possibility. On top of all that she was a human one of the rarest breeds around here, he raised his gaze and looked at Helexa. Was this woman some kind of lucky charm? He wasn't sure and after giving a nod after taking his coffee he lowered his gaze back to his desk. For the time being he wasn't going to bother with such thoughts, he shut his eyes and listened to Miss Morrison from a distance.

He took a drink from his coffee and his eye twitched slightly, he should have asked for sugar but he was committed now he'd have to finish it. Though hearing what Miss Morrison's case actually was caused him to inwardly sigh before his eyes moved to her figure, he eyed her for a moment scanning her form from a distance while Helexa was talking to her. She seemed like a simple woman, his eyes moved to her hands for a moment, not married which made the case a little more ironic than he liked. She seemed pretty distraught but the purse she carried wasn't a knock off so it seemed she could use her money more towards accesories than her clothing, her earrings included.

"Thanks Helexa," Yasa said taking the information. "I can tell you've done this before."
At the mention of staying he waved his hand before blowing on the desk causing a small cloud of dust to lift into the air, a small sigh escaped from him as he looked back at the information.
"I wouldn't want someone to stay here longer than they had to in these conditions," Yasa said. "Also Helexa I appreciate your input but I'd like your expertise in the field not how long to make customers wait. Here at Red Eye we respond ASAP, I hate making people wait like that, I wouldn't want my case being handle like that."
Resting his cheek on his fist he read the paper, it wasn't anything fancy, just a missing cat case that got lost in another dimension in her house, a common occurrence nowadays.
"Hm...affording a whole other dimension cost serious money," Yasa said. "Questions for later, anyway Helexa try not to charm too often, I'll explain on the way...I don't have a car so I hope you like walking."
Reaching into his pocket Yasa stood up and dialed the number on his phone, putting it to his ear.
"Yeah it's Yasa we'll take your case. Yep Red Eye accepts any case...long as it's legal. All right we'll be there soon."
Yasa hung up the phone and stretched a bit before quickly finishing his coffee, however he set the cup down and waved his mouth off as steam came out of it.
"Agh hot! Phu fuk's safe."
Yasa sighed and headed towards the door.
"Co' on Helxa, za caffes's awits."

World of Reverie

Yep it's all planned out and everything. I just didn't want to jump ahead.

Yasa watched the woman in silence after speaking his peace giving a small nod to her to show he was still paying attention, the room hadn't scared her off so that was a bonus and she got right to the point which he liked. He pulled the resume toward him and eyed it carefully, though he pulled his glasses down at one point seeing her work history which she repeated herself confirming that it was quite real. He almost wanted to question what she was doing in his office when she answered the question herself. Leaning back in his chair he continued to eye her credentials only looking over when she spoke.

"Well this is an equal employment office, we live in a world with legends and fantasy, it's actually far more rare for a normal human to enter my door," Yasa said. "Also you had me at minimum wage."
He pushed his glasses back onto his nose at this and calmly set the resume down, she was a perfect candidate and that's what actually bothered him, the first person that walks through the door is just the person he needs. If this was his good fortune then he worried about the backlash later, still that was a thought for later for the time being he needed to provide an answer to her, though the moment he read over the resume he had his answer.

“Well you’re hired,” Yasa said. “I’m your boss now so don’t go getting yourself killed, that’s a bunch of paperwork I don’t want to do. Name’s Yasa it’s good to have you here.”
Standing up he walked around to her and taking her hand gave a small shake, he wasn’t sure how to feel about her boredom reason but if she was willing to take that kind of pay he didn’t really care.
“May as well get started on dusting the place, much as I like this detective style office it’s incredibly dusty.”

He pulled his hand away only to turn seeing someone standing at the door, they politely knocked on it before walking inside, it was a middle aged human woman, dressed in a plain brown dress and a white blouse, she stared at the two before giving a small bow to the two.
“Is this the Red Eye Detective Agency…I need help.”
Yasa stared at the woman eyes wide body frozen, it took a moment to register that this was a customer and he removed his glasses, cleaned them and placed them back on his face just to reaffirm that she was real.
“Uh yeah…co-come in. Helexa prepare some coffee and ask her what she needs may as well see how you handle customers. Oh what is your name Miss…”
“Morrison.”
“Miss Morrison please have a seat on the couch my assistant will interview you.”

[Mizos]The Tides of The Past[SanaChan][Take Two]

Haha yeah I took a moment to question what I could remember. Just keeping it close to what's happening.

Larel glanced back in the direction of Alari for a moment before bringing a hand to his head, ruffling his hair slightly he looked back at Hotaru as she brought up what he wanted to eat. He shut his eyes and thought for a moment, trying to get a feel for what he was in the mood for. He pushed down the normal craving for souls thanks to Zenmaru and opened his eyes realizing the portion didn't need to be small. That made it all the more difficult, they could have an abundance of a small thing, or a few of a good thing, both seemed absolutely tantalizing right now.
"Chicken and vegetables sounds great," Larel said with a nod. "Let's get some good tea while we're at it. Today's has been a long one, I'm looking forward to this meal each passing second."

Alari adjusted his glasses when Mera spoke to him and with a small smile he walked closer since his presence wouldn't interrupt.
He stopped a few feet away moving his hands into his sleeves as his eyes moved to needle, admittedly he was interested in how Mera was going to apply it, what she had told him about it had made him slightly curious. Hearing her speak again, creating an intense desire to request she say 'love' again, Alari chuckled a little and slowly shook his head.
"Nothing of the sort, I only know from what little we talked about it so I feared I was interfering," Alari said before lowering his hands to his side. "I don't mind them on you Mera, hearing you did some blind only makes them all the more impressive."
He went silent after that content with watching, his mind was still swimming slightly but he felt a bit more at peace near Mera. Catching her comment on the younger ones however his eyes lowered slightly and he gave a small nod in agreement.
"Yeah...I like idea of them growing from their experiences...but I don't like watching them experience any painful ones," Alari said running a hand through his hair.

Yasa shut his eyes and started to drift off, he doubted anyone was going to stop by today if they hadn't already, it took a few days for things like this to circulate after all. Just as he was slipping off he heard a knock at the door, he opened his eyes and blinked a few times staring at his door for a moment. His eyebrows drew down as he took a moment to register if someone had seriously knocked on his door, when he noticed the knob turn his brows arched and he couldn't deny his surprise that someone had responded so quickly, perhaps his advertisement wasn't as bad as he thought. Clearing his throat he started to speak when he picked up their voice first, it sounded like a woman.

"Yeah come on in," Yasa said.
Yasa didn't really have an authoritative voice as he normally sounded like someone who just woke up from a long nap, low and listless with his expression making it hard to tell if it was his natural voice or if he really did just wake up. Half closed eyelids and lips in a constant thin line, the bags under his eyes today probably wouldn't help the realistic illusion. He watched the door for the woman to enter and his eyebrows arched when she actually walked in, she was far better dressed for this job than he was. Dressed in a pair of black slacks accompanied with dirty read sneakers she seemed the proper example of what should be waiting behind the desk. His wrinkled button up covered with a brown long sleeve shirt which was also wrinkled didn't help. He ruffled his bedhead before peering at the woman behind his glasses, he tilted his head slightly to create a glare on the lens to hide his eyes, he had practiced this and it was one of his few shames but he liked dramatic effect.

"Welcome to the Red Eye Detective Agency," Yasa said keeping his torso in the darkness of the room. "If you're here...then either you believe in finding the truth...or you're not that sharp."
Yasa pushed his glasses onto his face with one finger causing the glare to shift slightly to his right lens, again practiced with shame, before a small sigh escaped from him and he leaned forward revealing his upper body, disorganized and all before continuing.
"I don't believe you're the latter though so let's talk about the kind of person you are. Tell me about yourself and your previous job experiences, your expected pay, willingness to go into danger and all that. This isn't a hard job to go get but legal requirements and stuff require me to ask that."
He messed with a few documents on his desk organizing them into one stack before setting them down. Honestly her only other job could have been putting stamps on envelops and that'd be good enough, but she was pretty well dressed and there was a certain air about her...an almost familiar one at that so he doubted it'd be something simple like that.

World of Reverie

Within the city of Cevera known as the city of dreams many strange things occur and in a world filled with fables and legends it makes this city all the more fascinating. Hidden in confines of this wonderful town many secrets move between the people and within the dark shadows of the populace, and though plenty of good resides in Cevera there is plenty of ill within its creases as well. Misfortune, despair, malice all manners of evil that destroy those who seek only to live normal simple lives. These occurrences leave a deep imprint on society, creating mysteries that linger in the city even today, but to those who don't want to turn a blind eye to the shadows that loom over the city, those that seek to find the light within the darkness that lingers in the hearts others, to those who want truth instead of fabricated lies through the mouth of those who seek only the torment of others, lost in their own ways. If this desire is in your heart then seek out the Red Eye for it always watches for those that would still hope from the residents of Cevera.

Yasa looked at a poster in his hand his eyes narrowing slightly, a long sigh escaped from him before he dropped it on his mahogany desk. He wrote that pull and even he had to admit it was awful there was even a typo with steal. He didn't even want to think about the horrid responses it got online, people on the internet could be heartless. Leaning back in his chair he rested his shoes on the desk and folded his hands on his lap. The Red Eye Detective Agency, a decrepit building hidden between the alleway of two forgotten stores, the place was hard enough to find that it was almost impossible to locate without knowing just the right person, Yasa figured that was probably a cause for his lack of customers the last few months.

The room itself wasn't exactly inviting for those that did enter, dust was everywhere from the small table in the back to the medium sized desk in the front, the two couches in the center of the room had lost their vibrant colors and was now a dull indistinguishable shade, he called it khaki pink. The wilted flowers on the small table between them didn't help matters but he disliked getting up to the water them. His gaze moved to the two doors adjacent to each other on the walls, the right one his room, the other the bathroom which was dirty enough that he went next door when he had to go, he was pretty sure he heard noises in there at night and in a world where monsters exists he wasn't risking opening that door. The fluorescent lighting never worked so the only light in the room was a single lamp on his document littered desk and the open blinds...which couldn't open fully. Thanks to that the room always seemed dim even when it was bright out, his face always in shadow when he sat like this. He wanted coffee but it was on the far table, which had a broken leg, and he wasn't getting up for it.

"...really hope this assistant thing works out. I put in that advertisement free room and board...granted it's the couch but still. I'll have to explain the whole no client thing eventually, but at the very least I won't have to get my own coffee for the next few days."

[Mizos]The Tides of The Past[SanaChan][Take Two]

Too many questions ran through Larel's mind he tried to push them down but they kept resurfacing in his mind, he was happy to talk with Hotaru as it calmed him and helped keep his mind from drifting too far. Zenmaru wasn't helping either as all she did was laugh at the information, informing him she already knew about it and that if he wanted she could tell him anything he wanted now that it had been said. Something about how she said it though bothered him, images kept forcing themselves forward in his mind but he felt strange with each one he saw, detached from his own past for some reason. He decided it was because Alari kept his memories to himself that it didn't feel real, that was something else to deal with. At the mention of food Larel perked up a bit and gave a firm nod to getting something to eat, he held his stomach feeling it growl.
"I'd love some food, If it's not inconvenient I'd like something home cooked it always taste better for some reason," Larel said with a small smile. "I always feel better after eating home cooked food."
Larel blinked a few times and crossed his arms.
"...no idea why I said that but still I believe it's true."

"The room's are taken care of," Alari said.
He watched Larel jump since he hadn't announced his presence to the young man when he neared the two, he turned to Hotaru and informed her where and which rooms before giving a small nod and walking away from them. He had left the room after regaining his composure and taking another deep breath made his way to go see Mera, catching the two walking alone he figured he'd at least inform them everything was handled. He made sure however to put as much distance between them as possible, he didn't want to interrupt their time together. Once he was back in the field he adjusted his glasses with a small sigh.
"I'll have to act faster now if he knows the truth," Alari mumbled. "...I'll do what's necessary...even if I seem like a monster in his eyes...well more of one anyway."
Alari closed his eyes listening to the echo's as he tried to pick up Mera, with her in the forest it took a bit of effort to pinpoint it but after a few minutes he located her and made his way through the trees. Alari's mind went through thousands of possibilities on what to say to Mera but each one ended equally bad which didn't help his confidence as he got closer, but he didn't want to turn his back on everyone just because he was in pain, not when he wanted Mera to be brave.
Seeing Mera Alari started to approach her but stopped seeing her holding a needle, he leaned against a nearby tree and closed his eyes, knowing Mera he figured she'd be able to sense him and it didn't take much for him to realize what she was doing, whatever reason she was doing this for he didn't want to interrupt.
