Curiosity filled Conner as he took in the four mysterious women that had just arrived, but... it was the reptilian Belua woman that really caught his attention. So much so that he slowly made his way to her until he was only a few yards away from her. A strange feeling of... nostalgia stirred within his being. But that can't be true. He was meeting her for the first time...Right?

"I...I don't know you., Conner began, unsure but still curious. "Yet I feel like I should. So I ask...who are you?"
@PaulHaynek @Restalaan (GRI) @The Irish Tree (LIL) @Enkryption (ALI)

"Yokai. Your kind's really good at causing a ruckus. How shall we disturb our unwanted Varjan visitors' seemingly peaceful night?"


"I don't know. Can you not make a racist remark while we do your job for you, human?", Kerry snapped back, throwing Takamori's remark back at him as she studied watchtowers. "If I deaden the air around me, I can take care of those archers without them seeing me coming. Though, they'd have to NOT see me taking off from here..."

She turned to Alice and Liliana.

"Lili, you think you got a spell that will turn me invisible? And I can take you up with me if you want, Alice."
@PaulHaynek

"Consider me on the first team as well. With my speed, I can help anyone on the battlefield and cut off any Varjan reinforcement they try to make. Plus, my spears don't do well in close corridors.", announced Kerry, the recent private talks lighting a fire within the hornet to see this final mission done...as well as seeing an old face.

Alice had made an unexpected return, to the surprise of everyone. While mostly a welcome reunion for some of the taskforce, Liliana's reaction was...concerning, to say the least.

Then again, that fairy has been through a lot these past few days., the former merc thought to herself. Hopefully, we can keep an eye on her. Would absolutely suck if we fumble at the line now.

Look alive, boss. The doors are opening., announced Welk.

Conner looked up from his reading and, sure enough, the doors of Eon Tower were opening. Stashing his book, he rose to his feet and joined the other newly arrived as a man and a woman, named Ruecien and Rozemyne respectively, introduced themselves before leading the group inside. As they walked, Conner and Welk took the grand interior, the marble pillars and decorative windows offering a stunning view as the approached the central area.

Don't.

Don't what?, thought Conner in reply, briefly turning his attention to his spirit companion.

Don't even think about calling Zoe. She'll want to look at every nook and cranny up and down this place.

We're in the middle of orientation, Welk! I'm not gonna have Zoe wander off right now.

Rolling his eyes, Conner turned his attention back toward the front, just in time to be introduced to the staff of Eon Tower. There was an unexpected arrival, however, as four women appeared before the group via magical circles. One of them drew Conner's attention.

Welk, is it just me or does one of them look...familiar?

.....

...Welk?

...Wrong.

Hearing that odd statement, Conner turned to Welk, only to be surprised to find nature spirit's fur bristled, his body shaking as he stared at the four women.

"Welk, what's wrong?", the young man asked out loud, now concerned. What do you mean when you said that?

I...I can't really explain it. All I know is that my instincts are telling me that there is something very...OFF about those four. They're causing every kind of alarm to go off in my head. I...I can't focus like this. Permission to dip out, boss?

"You never have to ask, you know that. Go right ahead."

With the go ahead, Welk leapt off Conner's shoulder and vanished, returning to the spirit realm to, no doubt, inform the others of what he had seen. Conner, on the other hand, was left puzzled. Usually, when a spirit is that spooked, that means a very dangerous spiritual threat was nearby. In other words...

Did Welk see those four women as a threat?

Questions abound but for now, introductions needed to be made.

"Sorry, my friend sensed something alarming and wanted to play safe. Name's Conner Griggs. Roaming summoner for hire. Pleasure to meet you all and I look forward to working with you."

Still, his briefly lingered on one of the four women.

I...feel like I've seen her before...
@AzureKnight

You know it's your fault, right?

My fault? For what?

That you spoil her!

Conner rolled his eyes. Having arrived through Morgenröte's Northeast Gate three days ago, it was only natural that Zoe, his most curious of spirit companions, would want to partake in the various museums and art galleries the district had to offer. The young man was going to decline but then she had the sparkles in her eyes and it was their first time being in Morgenröte and who when they'll ever have time for this again and... Well... It was hard to say no.

Not that he'll ever admit that to Welk.

It was just a few museums, Welk. You want me to deny her that?, Conner responded telepathically, shaking his head with a smile as he continued to read his book. Currently, he was sitting in a trolley that headed toward the heart of the republic, where the fabled Eon Tower awaited. Welk, a nature spirit, sat upon his shoulder. An odd sight if they were anywhere else.

No, but you have to admit visiting two museums per day is a bit much, don't you think?, Welk responded. I'm pretty sure Zoe wanted to visit ALL of them.

And it was. But again, Conner would never say that out loud. Plus, it made Zoe happy, so it was fine.

Before Conner could responded, an automated voice rang out from an intercom.

"DESTINATION ARRIVED. LOCATION: EON TOWER. PLEASE WATCH YOUR STEP AS YOU DISEMBARK."


"Here's our stop.", Conner said out loud, closing his book and rising out of his seat as the trolley stopped and the passengers got off while new ones got on. Having gotten off, it didn't take long for the duo to find the tower, the chalk-white spire reaching and piercing through the clouds.

...Compensating.

"Welk!", Conner reprimanded out loud, tone exasperated as he began walking toward the tower.

What!? Come on, there's no need for it to be THAT tall! I'm not the only one who thinks that!, Welk retorted, paws up to show that he was just sharing a personal observation. Still, such a big deal this place is. Who do you think shows up around here?

Well, it's the Eon Tower, Welk. It'd be easier to ask what doesn't this place attract?

Upon reaching the steps, Conner noticed that he had arrived early so he elected to go to a nearby bench and resume reading. Welk will let him know when the doors begin to open.

Nice! Moving to Characters Tab.
Wasn't here for the first go-around, so let's fix this here and now.


@PaulHaynek @Enkryption @AzureKnight @The Irish Tree @Restalaan

”Revuel-san...I too, no longer sense the child. But, let's not our unfamiliarity with yōkai biology get the better of us. I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation, and I trust that they've simply found a way to keep the child in a more secure location. At most, it would be best to ask Kerry-san and Cecilia-san themselves as to the whereabouts of the child. But, I believe it's best to worry about that later.”


"Why not ask me right now?"

There stood Kerry, wide awake, dressed and fed for the new day...and very much no longer heavy with child.

"I laid my daughter last night and Cecilia sent her away to a safer location. That's ALL you need to know, Rev.", she spoke in a slightly offended tone with narrowed eyes, implying she heard the warlock's comment. "So let's not fall back on old Varjan habits and jump to a conclusion, hmm?

Giving Revuel a passing stink eye, the hornet made her way to the courtyard, joining Shizuka. She'll have to thank Atsuha later for thwarting Cecilia from beaning a rock at ex-Varjan's head. No one wanted to deal with that first thing in the morning.
