At least she was making some progress.

The stamina drain from earlier was making it slightly difficult, but she did seem to be getting somewhere. Unfamiliar as exercising was, she seemed to be getting the hang of it fairly quickly. Dropping the stick, she attempted to coil her tail around it, positioning the stick straight. Still, doing this alone wasn't going to be getting her swift progress in the grand scheme of things. Ugh, she should find a way to multitask easier. Perhaps there was a way she could do something similar to a computer - have two processors for computing and thinking, essentially.

Hm.

For now, she turned back to her earlier experiment with the magic. Still exercising her tail, Ash raised a claw, forming an orb of magic just over it. Secondly, she attempted to direct another flow of magic towards her eyes once more in an effort to try and perform two spells at once, and see if she could potentially interact with whatever those squares she had seen earlier. If she could perfect this and understand the structure of magic itself, then she could effectively change it to whatever she wanted with a little trial and error.

Science after all, was basically just that. Trial, error, writing down results and changing a variable until you achieved your desired end.

Well, there was nothing she could say that could discredit her theory. The ghost type laughed in a decidedly creepy fashion, unable to contain a bit of amusement from scaring the Swablu. She indeed, fed off peoples emotions. Fear, it seemed and it was even sweet tasting. Hm. Maybe she should keep that to herself for now, huhu. No sense in informing other people about it. Might make it harder to actually get food if they knew that's what she was doing.

Hm.

"Well," Floating over to Jeri, Vi latched herself onto the dunsparce's back briefly to anchor herself. "I seem to have a ranged psychic attack of some sort. I used it last night on that one that tried to get into the cave. Worked well enough." Everyone seemed fairly eager to head off out of the cave. A fine idea, but one Vi wasn't particularly too keen on for now...but she also wasn't particularly keen on being alone in the cave, either. She was confident she could handle herself, but on the off chance she couldn't, well...

"I'm going to see if I can work on not being so...light and maybe flex my psychic muscles a bit. Being blown around by a gust of wind is more dangerous than anything else for me right now." She released the Dunsparce's back, floating over the water and attempting to test her range of motion whilst trying to get a better feel for her little psychic type attack. Maybe once she got a better feel for it, she could try doing something else with it.

To say Viola had expected this outcome, was correct. To also say she was going to make Tavi clean her whole room from top to bottom if her dress had even one spec of dirt on her dress, was also correct. Being neck deep in the ground, was not what Viola would have said was a good time. Good thing she at least, had her parasol with her so she was shaded from the sunlight.

"Really Tavi," Viola mused. "You've tried this before, it seems? I would have to agree that your futile persistence is amusing, if nothing else, fufu." That said, she was not here to be thwarted so easily herself. Craning her neck up to the Treant, Viola would have given it a friendly wave if her hands had been free.

"This is actually the first time I've seen a Treant in person." Viola spoke with a smile. "I don't suppose you could let me out of this little prison, hm? I don't know about little Tavi, but I merely came to talk." She doubted if they were this overprotective of the forest they would be able to so easily fool or get past them, but it certainly didn't hurt to try a little friendliness.

Neith would have used words to say something to Deadalus, but she was quickly coming to realize that this man was quite and utterly mad, as they say so instead she'd save her breath. Instead, she turned her attention to the 'Empress' in front of her. Aaaah, so adorable! A child pretending to be an Empress. Huhu, reminded her of her own sons! Hor-Aha was always so earnestly trying. That was why she always had to help. And little Djer...

...well.

She wouldn't think about that for now.

"Doting? Only if you're a good child, but certainly." Neithhotep nodded with a smile, for the most part ignoring Deadalus now. He wasn't worth her time currently, and if he so much as tried to lay a hand on her children again he'd quickly find out why Neith was a goddess of hunting and war. For now though, she turned her attention back to Jingu, who seemed to have taken an interest in another servant seemingly from the same time period.

"Ah-" However, before she could even say anything else, she felt something wrap her arms around her waist. Neith's eyes widened with utter shock as someone not only touched her, they also proceeded to lift her high off the ground. Anger. Amusement. Eagerness! Turning her head towards the goddess that so much as dared to touch her, Neith gave Quetz an friendly smile. "-Aha, I admire your bravery touching the vessel of the divine mother of all Egypt! Not only that, you insult her children and their creations. The sand flows through your veins, goddess!" That friendly smile quickly turned into an almost feral, excited grin. "If its a hunt you want, Goddess, then perhaps my Harpoon will satisfy you?"

Old Mill Hideout, Suttlings Basin

Despite the situation, Chieko couldn't say she wasn't happy.

The training over the past week had been tough, but it seemed like Talus had kept his word about the rate at which she learned things. Normally something like learning swordsmanship would take quite a while, not to mention all the physical exertion involved and considering before now she was mostly a NEET who stayed in her room most of the time, being able to match Quill and Chiyo in the span of a week was well, goddamn amazing. Just like any proper anime protagonist should be, heh!

Quill and Chiyo were...well, nice enough. Chiyo was...murdery, but adorable. Like a rambunctious little sister who constantly got into trouble and then tried to get out of it by trying to cute her way out of it. Needless to say, Chieko could never say no. Quill was like a big sister she had never had. It was sort of...well, nice actually. Any sort of unease she felt vanished within days, not to mention the fact Quill had defended her against a few demi's of a less reputable sort the first day or two until she got on her feet.

...wait did that mean she was Quill's little sister here?

Universe shattering revelation aside, Chieko turned to Quill as she was asked about Chiyo.

"E-eh?!" Liked Chiyo? It was one of the few times Quill would have noticed Chieko's composure breaking over the past week. "Eh-I-I mean Chiyo adorable and I'd like to do uhm, things with her." Chieko averted her gaze from Quill, face slightly red as she chuckled nervously. "L-like hugs. Hugs and head pats. That's what she's going to get, yep. That's all." No bad intentions here, nope. She had been wondering if it would have been acceptable for her to do that all week but hadn't really had a good opportunity to go for it with all the training.

"Mhm," Chieko pulled her scarf over her mouth, regaining her composure slightly. The scarf was not something she was going to lose no matter what happened. "It's not not exactly...odd where I'm from." Sighing lightly, Chieko hefted the club she had taken as her main armament on her shoulder. Truthfully though she wasn't particularly into relationships. Right now they would only be a distraction, and she had a mission. A mission of which, she wasn't about to let anything distract her from. "...mhm, not really interested at the moment though. A Hero such as myself can't let things distract them so easily...why do you ask?"

Mie Yukima

Slums
A few days ago...
Deaths: N/A

---

Ever since the incident with Vertti, Mie had been keeping her head down like a good little fox. So far, nothing had come of it. She didn't seem to be followed anywhere. No guards. No random checks. For the most part, it seemed like she was in the clear. None of the others had contacted her either, which meant they were unaware or simply busy. Either was good - it meant there was no major problem. However...it meant the rat was still in the hen house. Which was why Mie was doing something she only did rarely.

She had set up a meeting with the other two that were working in Priestella. Normally she would only meet any other in the organization to receive information, her next task, to relay the completion of her task...or rarely, in case there was trouble. Most of the time she could handle anything herself, but this was something that was a far bigger concern than just her ego.

Which was why she was currently sitting at a table in a brothel in the slums that was far more fancy than it was on the surface.

"Mie, my sly little Fox! Yuzu, the adorable little Hornet! Eat up! A healthy diet is the first thing a Shinobi needs for excellence! A full course dinner prepared with the full culinary experience of a master chef!" A man just a few years older than Mie slammed a few plates down on their table, along with a healthy amount of sake straight from Kararagi. The kind of music you'd hear in Kararagi could be heard in the background.

"Wahaha, still wearing that creepy robe aren't'cha, Qez?"A woman clad in a kimono with light purple hair was sitting next to her, laughing brightly as she grabbed a fork from the table, already starting to dig into the mountain of food Qez had made for the three of them.

"Creepy? My dear Yuzuki I'll have you know this robe is 100% uncreepy and perfected for maximizing my culinary arts!" He replied, seemingly pulling out various bottles of spices and herbs from somewhere within it. "See? Enough space to store almost anything a chef needs!"

"Pfft, sure, it is Qezhal. We all know you like going around pretending to be all spooky." To accentuate the fact, Mie made a comical hand motion at the sides of her head.

"Haaa, your words sting, my friends." He sighed, taking a seat opposite the two women.

"Yea, Qezzy, you're about as creepy as a puppy." Yuzu replied through a mouthful of food.

"A puppy that rolls around in the mud all day."

"So rude!" He laughed. "Ahaha, I'm glad to see you both still in good spirits." The black robed male leaned forward slightly on the table, eyes glancing over his two companions with a friendly smile. "Normally we keep to ourselves, working through deadrops and informants, but its nice to be together with you on occasion."

"Right? Me and Qezzy get together at least once a week," The upbeat girl turned to Mie, snatching up a slice of meat off of her plate. "But little Mie is always so busy! I'm beginning to think she doesn't like us."

"Ha!" Mie laughed loudly, taking a huge gulp of her drink before slamming it on the table. "The only reason I tolerate either of ya is because you'd be too annoying to kill. Specially that one." She pointed at Yuzu before stealing a piece of bread out of the other fork with her own. "Don't touch my stuff."

"Wahaha, Miiiieee!~" Unable to help herself, Yuzu reached over, wrapping Mie in a big hug, obviously drunk from only a few sips of her alcohol. Lightweight. "Aaha, If I could hug you every day I'd be so happy!"

"Didn't I just say not to touch my stuff, you lightweight?" Mie smiled impishly. "Not that I mind the affection, fufu...but maybe don't do it." Before Yuzu could react, Mie had already managed to discreetly pickpocket the other shinobi, rolling a coin between her fingers.

"Gah! That's my money! Giveitback!" Qez watched with a laugh as the demi-human and human started wrestling over the coin. Yuzu trying her best to get her money back, while the fox somehow managed to always just remain out of reach of the hornet. That said...as much as he'd have liked the friendly meeting to continue, they had business to discuss.

"I'm glad you two are getting along so well," Qez laughed, folding his hands in front of him. "...but Mie, my a little birdie told me you have something to discuss about your recent little...oversight." The tone was cold, almost emotionless, and whatever happy reunion the three were having vanished instantly. The two shinobi's immediately released the other, taking a more serious tone as the meeting continued.

"...the target knew I was coming." Mie replied as Qez went to drink. The mug paused right before it hit his lips, grip tightening on the mug.

"...Whaha, that's funny." Yuzu grinned. "You sure you didn't just let her go, foxy?"

"Hoo? Is the lightweight slut implying something?"

"I dunno midget, everyone knows you hesitated when you were given this mark of yours." The sound of a mug slamming onto the table quickly silenced any argument that had been brewing before Mie could respond.

"There's a mole, Mie?"

"Indeed. A little rat. Not only was she aware that she was a target, she seemingly went into hiding before I even came to Priestella."

"Yuzu, you are dismissed." Qez narrowed his eyes at her.

"But-"

"Yuzu. Dismissed."

"Y-yes!"

"Do you suspect Yuzu?" Mie asked, quietly taking a drink of her Sake as the other Shinobi left.

"Not at all, but we can not rule out anyone...except yourself. You aren't the type to let sentimentality or emotions hamper your work. Your history is enough of proof."

"Fufu, flattery will get you everywhere so please continue."

"I'll smooth things over with the client and look for alternative methods. If the mark is aware they are being hunted, then a single shinobi won't be enough. No matter how good they are." Normally a second shinobi would be sent to help the first under the circumstances the target had become aware. Usually it would be enough...but this was a highly unusual situation. "Mie, keep your head down for the rest of the week. I'll continue as normal as to not let the mole know we know of his existence, but I will have Yuzu investigate."

"Haa, so I get stuck with the boring bits. At least let me interrogate someone~"

"We both know you'll do what you want anyways."

"Fufuf, what can I say, I don't like being told what to do." Mie grinned, eagerly finishing up the food.

"If you investigate yourself, just try to keep it subtle."

"Of course, of course. I'm not a child."

"Dismissed, then." Standing up, Mie finished her alcohol before smirking playfully at Qez.

"Tell Yuzu if she wants her money back, she's always welcome to try~" With a laughed, Mie turned on her heels and headed out the back exit, and stepping out into the streets.

---

"One, Two...aha, quite the shiny one, aren't you?" Sitting at a table in front of her wagon, Mie was busy counting a few coins, playfully fingering and running each one across her hands. Shiny gold coins that were all hers, fufu. Money was one of the few things in this world she could say she in fact, cared about somewhat. Not that she was overly attached but damn it she wasn't about to lose any of it if she could help it no matter what the circumstances were.

That said...what was Qez doing? She hadn't heard anything from him since their little meetup a few days ago. Obviously she knew such a delicate subject took time, but she was growing exceedingly bored. She had done some investigating herself, of course and they had managed to relay a few things. A very important fact that made this entire thing even more odd.

None of the other operations had been tampered with. Qez had quickly made certain to check on all the current happenings inside the city, and even relayed the information to higher ups who all returned with the same thing. No other mission had been jeopardized. Which...incidentally made her look incredibly suspicious in this instance.

Flipping a coin into the air and catching it, Mie collected the rest of the money before locking it away and pocketing the rest. Not that it mattered. They weren't likely going to say she had done anything to purposefully jeopardize it just from that alone.

"Haa, counting money always makes me feel better, fufu." Chuckling lightly, Mie for now, would play her role as a merchant.

...perhaps she should visit the Rabbit? She did want to say hello again after all of this, heh!

Well, that was a surprise. Perhaps despite being an utter seeming fool, he had some use it seemed. If he was a normal human he'd have been dead. Still, that didn't mean Neith was not entirely fine with this. No, he had tried to harm one of her children. Such a bad child. Perhaps she'd need to use a bit more of force, though now was not the time for such things. Neith merely watched coolly, her friendly expression changing slightly as she watched Deadalus from a distance.

As Jingu hefted the crocodile, it flailed lightly, though didn't seem to mind too much as it was eventually dropped at Neith's feet. Hissing in Deadalus' direction, the crocodile hid behind Neith's legs, eyeing the mage angrily.

"...ho~" Neith smirked lightly, a light tone of amusement in her voice. Ah she really was itching to fight something now. "You misunderstand, child." Neith said with a light tone, turning her attention to Jingu. "I was trying to discipline a seemingly useless flea, but perhaps that rowdy child has a use." That was a thought for a different time, no, what Neith was now focused on was the child in front of her. Empress? This young thing? She couldn't possibly be? What sort of parent would let any child be a ruler!?

"...mhm, still, you have my thanks for saving this child." Neith reached down, patting Jingu on the head with a smile. "You're a good child, aren't you?"

Fate/Exit Order (Discontinued)

---

Standing amidst the servants, close towards the back was a woman dressed in well, not exactly all that much considering some of the other servants present that left quite little to the imagination. She gazed at the others gathered, a rather cool expression upon her features as she took note of them one by one. So this was the little group of servants that were to fight some unknown entity and gather keys.

Hmph...like she'd ever take orders from anyone, but this was quite the pressing problem, wasn't it? Yet the thrill of a potential hunt couldn't be something she denied. If she was a human still, her blood would have gotten pumping at the thought of it. Hunting an unknown foe in an unfamiliar land - a thrilling tale that would make all mothers proud of their children, and she was no exception. That said - she also knew rushing in simply head first was likely to end in disaster.

That said, a certain loudmouth was making introduction and potential planning quite difficult. Glancing coolly over to Deadalus, a swirl of magical energy formed into an unmistakable Nile Crocodile at her feet. With a brief pat on its snout, the crocodile began slinking away on the ground towards Deadalus, making sure to stay in the back as Neith made her presence known.

"...I see." The servant finally replied from her seat, reclining lightly in it. "First, allow me to say it is a pleasure to meet so many servants." Neith stood, turning slightly to her comrades. "I am Neithhotep, Mother of Egypt and wife of Unifier Menes. You may however, refer to me as Neith, if it pleases you."

It was just about then, Deadalus may feel slightly unsafe, just before the Crocodile lunged upwards, aiming his teeth right for the other servants backside, aiming on taking a chunk out of him.

"I do hope we can get along well, my Children. If I may - perhaps we should take a moment to discuss a plan of action before we head forwards?"

Seleth grimaced as Varjan spat at her, but was given little time to react as lightning slammed into the ground from overhead. Such power! To set up such an overwhelming environmental hazard. She really wanted to try speaking with him more, but there wasn't much she could do. If she got blasted with even one for all she knew, she'd lose - hell, she might not even get a chance to do anything but lose.

The ground shook, throwing the dark elf completely off balance, nearly off her feet, but she managed to balance herself before she could be in such a vulnerable position, but that wasn't enough. By the time she had, Varjan was behind her - damn it she should have moved away, but he was far too quick! Could a human be this quick?!

She felt his hand wrap around her throat, a small gasp of startled air left her lips as she was seized. If this was how this fight was going to go, she was going to need to do everything she could just to not be defeated so easily, and she wasn't about to lay down and accept defeat. She had come too far. She was going to return home a goddamn hero, and she wasn't going to let some lousy boy who lacked so much confidence in his abilities best her.

Seleth took the only second she could to react, returning the favor - a flash of bright light as she used one of her dazzles, followed by her own swift uppercut to Varjan's chin. If all worked, she'd be free of his grasp with only minimal damage.
