Welp, got a post up.

Once again.

Mine is not happy with the establishment and how things are run~ xD

Mine watched the simulation quietly from the sidelines. For the most part, she had kept herself quiet, and gave as minimal information about her own quirk as possible during homeroom introductions. She was more interested in observing her classmates, after all. Their quirks. Learning them, thinking about the possible applications and limitations of each one. For the most part, she was quite pleased with the rather eclectic group of quirks that had gathered in their class. It was certainly going to make for some interesting stories and a fairly memorable school year. Also offer opportunities for advancement of her own little agenda. That said, she was so far less than impressed with the school staff or how they were handling things. To be honest, she really didn't approve of how this simulation was proceeding.

It was a complete farce in her opinion. Only four minutes for the villain team to prepare? What was this, a childs game? Granted they were children, but they were children aspiring to be heroes. In a real hostage scenario, the Villains would have much more of an advantage wouldn't they? They would be able to prepare. Keep the hostages somewhere safe. The heroes likely would have very little, if any information to go on aside from where the target was being held. Wouldn't it be more helpful to play out scenarios one might actually find in the field? Perhaps she had been playing too many video games recently, though...

"This looks to be a good fight, I can't tell which team is going to win."

One of her classmates, Kosoku Hitoshi chimed in. Teleporter Quirk. Allows him to traverse distances without traveling the space in between, essentially. She didn't know the specifics but she was keen to find out. Such a quirk would be quite difficult to deal with her own.

"Good fight?...I suppose," Mine replied with a frown. "But it is hardly realistic or indicative of actual hostage scenarios one might encounter as a hero." She did not elaborate any further on the subject, instead merely observing with mild interest. She was eager to put her own skills and abilities to the test, despite her opinions on this so called test. She did admit everyone was trying their hardest to win this little event and was eager to see how each of them performed.

Not yet.

No no, the burning will come later. The anticipation will make the actual burning so much better :)

@Deos Morran
Have fun and try not to have him screw up and escalate this further~

Otherwise

<Snipped quote by Rune_Alchemist>

That isn't burning

@Ellion

This will become true~

Well have a post.

With Phoebe doing her best to be as civil as possible.

Not doing a very good job, I think.

~Phoebe Longhurst~

@13org@Deos Morran

What happened next, Phoebe was completely unprepared for. Phoebe wasn't entirely sure what happened, but one could rarely understand invisible forces of the devil. It was dangerous to even attempt such a thing, aside from being blasphemy. As Shai cried out in pain and reeled backwards the inquisitor instinctively recoiled as well, her crossbow remaining firmly locked on Shai, just in case as her right immediately went for one of her knives. After a few seconds of nothing happening, Phoebe lowered her guard.

This presented Phoebe with a rather difficult dilemma. The creatures words, she felt had been true even if she didn't entirely believe them. Plus, she earnestly did seem as though she wanted to help. Being a hunter for nine years, you started to pick up on things. Especially things from witches, and how they used ploys like this to garner sympathy. Make hunters lower their guards. She knew, really, in any other scenario she wouldn't think twice about doing something such as letting her live in this situation.

But her crossbow hesitated. It was an act she wasn't entirely used too.

"I'll take care of it. As you can tell it won't be able to leave town now. I'll drag it into the woods so we won't have to worry about it anymore."

"Hm-what?" For a split second, Phoebe wasn't entirely sure what she should do. This was not a situation she was used too. "W-wait? You intend to take it?" Phoebe watched him leave, contemplating what she should do as Lusius walked off. Duty, or forgo it and let a potential witch go free? She shook her head, latching her crossbow to her side and sliding the knife back to wherever it was kept in her armor. The man said nothing about disposing of it, only taking it to the woods.

"...Ugh, Lord, please don't let me regret this." She walked off after Lusius silently. He was already a bit of a ways away, but it wasn't hard for a hunter to track prey that wasn't attempting to hide themselves. She said nothing, though, only watched for signs of trickery when he arrived at what appeared to be his home. It wasn't until he came back out, did Phoebe decide it was best to approach.

"You either didn't know I was following you, or you didn't care and didn't try to lose me." Phoebe said, walking up. "Hm. Quite a quaint little place you have here, isn't it? Perfect hiding spot for a witch or her thrall. Close enough to town, but still rather secluded. I hope you are not the latter, then?" She let her words hang in the air for a moment, though quickly cut off any reply that he might have had. "I will be perfectly honest with you. Personally speaking, all creatures such as her should not be allowed to walk on Gods Earth and if it wasn't for its obvious help earlier, I would have already taken those...whatever they are she has, as a trophy to bring back to the Bastille. I don't trust that thing, and I do not think its continued existence will ever bring anything good."

She fixed Lusius with a serious look, frowning slightly as she folded her arms across her chest.

"Even my personal prejudice aside, as an inquisitor of the Bastille, I can not simply let such an unknown creature knowingly stay close to town." She looked to the ground, seeming to hesitate with her words as if she was still attempting to come to a decision about something. "So, my hands are a bit tied. I would like to leave without any harsh words between us. You seem like a decent hunter. Skilled, at least somewhat. It would be a shame for us to come to blows since it could harm a potential alliance in the future. So I will ask you as bluntly as I can. You are not under any sort of...influence from the creature? It indeed, will be gone by midday tomorrow through whatever methods you deem appropriate?"

She asked for a number of reason. It wouldn't be the first time some witch cast some...spell on a hunter to beguile them into working for them, even against their will. Whatever doubts she may have had, hopefully he would say yes, and follow through on making sure she was gone.

STOP IT! You are both psychopaths! Praise won't change that fact! @Deos Morran @Rune_Alchemist

@Deos Morran

I think he's startin' to lose it.

ANYWAYS~

I'll work on a post. On the bright side, Phoebe probably won't do anything but make sure Lusius is alright before heading back.

_{damn it, she's just trying to do her job. All you silly hunters making nice with the witches...back in my day, we burned 'em at the stake!}

@Deos Morran

Sorry man, again, it's not Lusius, but Shai. She thinks the whole unconscious thing might be some ploy to garner sympathy or some other such witchcraft trickery.

Not exactly something that would be uncommon I think, she's probably dealt with similar things before.

@Deos Morran

...I should mention Phoebe is 100% gonna follow him because she has zero trust. Not in Lusius mind you, but Shai.

@pkken
Cool, I'll get a post up soonish.

@Gutshot

yeah. I am assuming she is part of the class. She'd just have been particularly silent up until now. Either out of her tendency to observe the other students and not give a particularly flashy introduction or some other reason. So she'd have to be part of the group on standby, no?

@pkken
but yeah. That cool with you that I shove Mine in with the heroes on standby or you got something else you want me to do with her?
