"M-Mika!?" The cat girl suddenly thrust part of the Nimbus into her hands, causing her to instinctively grab it. It wasn't difficult to take the reigns, though. She quickly pulled on them, bringing the flying cloud up to speed again. She cast a somewhat worried glance down as the feline magical girl plummeted towards the ground, but focused once more on steering this...cloud. She shook her head at the slightly absurd thought. Mika could handle herself, she just needed to focus on steering this thing.

"See it!" Rina was barely able to see Lily's arrow speeding towards them. Her first instinct was to avoid it, but trusting Lily knew what she was doing she braced for impact - causing the time magic to speed up the cloud vehicle. After a bumpy start, Rina managed to keep the cloud mostly level, focused on reaching the gates to the Overcity. Thankfully with Lily's help they were able to reach it mostly unhindered. Soon as they began approaching the gate, she started guiding the Nimbus lower, hopefully having lost whatever Ascendancy goons had been following them.

Ugh, she really didn't like this. Bad vibes everywhere. She ground her teeth together as she watched their reply pop up on the screen. What an idiot. Their boss was attending? Did they have a death wish? She'd be better off staying nice and safe inside of whatever hole she called home. Well, whatever. If she wanted to put herself out like that, she didn't care. Easier to deal with her anyways. Putting a face to a name always made dealing with people easier.

V: Hmm, lets see...the day after tomorrow sounds good.
V: There's a little warehouse in the poorer areas. Mostly abandoned.
V: You wanna party? Head there. There's a basement you'll get to by moving a few large old machinery. That's where you can find me.

Who the hell was pinging her on Glimmr now?! Vi took a quick look at the social media site and frowned. Some fan tagged her by accident it seemed. Ah, such were the responsibilities of an Idol to respond to her fans.

@Trx N Traps @TheRealBlairWitch
Whaaa? Is someone bullying my fans? Only I'm allowed to do that.
But a dress code? Ahaha, you're funny! Come as you are and just be prepared to party!~

Switching back to the PI, she finished her response to them.

V:Too bad It'll be deleted.
V:Shame if someone already made backups, heh!~
V:Then I guess we're done here. I'm a busy girl, so I'll be leaving first.
V:Byyyyye, and good luck little fans~

And with that she closed the connection and window. Nothing else to be said about it for now. Had she made backups? She'd have liked too, but she didn't waste time. In the grand scheme of things it didn't matter too much. She leaned back in her chair. Why was her heart beating that fast from that little interaction? Ah, she needed to go bully some losers on some forums or something...no, for now she'd just sit here.

Sit here and really wish she could just cut herself away from all of this.

"Eh..."

Chloe frowned as she read the text from Penny. Well that was...annoying. She narrowed her eyes at her phone. A favor from the PI? How...crude. The fact that Beacon could track her as well was annoying. Well, they'd just have to find away to remove it, if possible. She might be able to help with that if Penny was willing, but...ah, there was still so much she couldn't tell Penny as long as she was with Beacon in any capacity.

It irritated her.

"Eeeh? But I miss you~
Tsk, alright. Try not to be too late, okay? I...actually need to talk to you about something myself when we get a moment to ourselves again. Love you, miss you, stay safe! I'll come running if anything happens to you <3

PS - Are you alright? The text you sent was a little...erm, odd."

Chloe

There, that should be a good reply...still. She looked at Penny's text again. Something was definitely off. Hmm, perhaps she should pay a visit to Penny instead...she couldn't have her things in anything less than top condition.

Claire listened with unusually rapt attention as Dunstan explained. That was...certainly interesting. She was always up for a good mythology story, especially one about some guy beating the lights out of some super bad pokemon or something. While this didn't quite have that, that final bit concerned her a bit. Keeping the...creation Trio in check? Claire kept her best, rather terrible pokerface as she replied.

"Ah, no, it probably doesn't." Claire said with a slight sideways glance. Connor did say as much the same, in a much less direct way. Hmm...did that mean whoever was after Uxie was attempting to do something to the Creation Trio? That...would be bad. "Well anyways, thanks! Don't be too hard on the glasses guy. He said pretty much the same thing you did." Then...maybe the next step would be to find more about this creation Trio? She had a feeling she was overstaying her welcome, though.

"Hey, anywhere else where I can learn about the Creation Trio? Like a library? Any recommended reads and stuff?" After getting her hands on a Vivillon, she'd do a bit more training before finally heading to Lakewatch. She was confident she had a good bit of experience under her for meeting the next one now - maybe attempt another gym, too.

Realism no Mononoke: An Urban Fantasy RP

Kumo-chan

Name:
Shimizu Kaori
Age:
At least 400 years as one might expect, though she comments she's fairly young for a Jorogumo and stopped really counting at the end of the Edo period.
Gender:
Female
Race:
Yurikumo
Jorōgumo
Appearance:
Kaori often appears as a young girl between the ages 20 to 25, if a bit taller. Dressed in elegant kimono's and other traditional clothing made from her own silk, she often appears a touch more elegant than what is found in modern society - or at least likes to think she does.
Personality:
In one word, Kaori is a Lonely little spider.
The Jorogumo comes off as a playful, affectionate sort with a slight lascivious side to her - which perhaps, is somewhat expected considering what she is. Jorogumo after all, according to mythology, seduce men in order to eat them. Kaori once again rather adheres to the mythology in this regard...the only difference with her, is well, she prefers 'snacking' on adorable little girls.

Under that however, is a spider prone to bouts of loneliness and falling into old habits. She's not a bad sort, deep down, really, despite playing very close to most Jorogumo mythology. She simply craves physical affection of any kind, and without someone there to reaffirm such feelings she simply falls back into old habits. She's friendly and polite towards most people, and dislikes confrontation. Still, she is a Jorogumo with a history of preying on humans. When dealing with things that threaten her or someone she cares about...merciless is an apt word.

Abilities:
Jorogumo posses a number of abilities, most of less than directly combative nature. Like others of her kind, Kaori possesses a cunning intelligence and a natural predisposition to cruelty, though she at least seems to have some restraint when it comes to that.
In more supernatural abilities, Kaori has the ability to produce extremely fine, durable silk possessing strength similar to that of fine steel wire. Often used to ensnare, bind, and prevent her prey from escaping. Most of her clothing is made from it, and you'd be hard pressed to find a better fabric for making lightweight, extremely protective clothing from. As well, she can produce a potent, extremely powerful venom from her bite. While short term it works to physically weaken, lead to memory loss and loss of fine motor control, it isn't lethal unless sustained exposure is kept.
A number of spiders often follow her around, and she can both communicate and control most arachnids. Want to know what's happening around the city? Well, she can probably tell you. Such an information network was how she was able to evade public eye for quite some time.
Skills:
Cooking, cleaning, sewing, basic first aid, living as long as she has, she has picked up on a few miscellaneous skills, most notably in the domestic department. She loves spending nights out, practicing her singing.
Equipment:
Clothing made from her own silk. Durable stuff.
Does a legion of spiders count?
Brief Backstory:
Kaori has lived in the area for a surprisingly short amount of time, moving into the area some five odd years ago. Where she was and what she was doing before then, she doesn't really care for or like talking about. At some point after living so long, sometimes you just really stop caring. She comments sometimes about being from Shizouka Prefecture, but little else.

As one might expect, as soon as she moved in she started to cause mischief, doing her utmost best to hide her shenanigans and preventing from humans catching on. She wasn't greedy, after all, and had a particular method for making sure she didn't get caught.

Two girls a year. Taking them off the streets at night, no one would miss them for some time. A little venom made them not remember much, even if they escaped. She didn't eat or hurt them, no. In fact, she often let them go. Having her darling little spiders take care of evidence and making sure most didn't even recall anything, made for an easy time hiding her tracks. This went on for four years, until she started to get a little more aggressive in her trouble making.

Because of this, eventually someone starting putting what evidence was left behind together and tracked her down to where she lived. She thought it was just going to be a rather boorish onmyouji, but she was in for quite the surprise. Instead of some battle hardened mage or mystic, was what could only be described as the most adorable little girl Kaori had ever seen. Why was she out there hunting Youkai! So dangerous! If it had been any other Jorogumo aside from her, the poor thing probably would have been eaten alive.

After a brief confrontation, Kaori conceded. If the girl wouldn't willingly let her take care of her, then she'd just have to help her. So she let the girls she had abducted go, most in fairly good health and she started helping this Suzuki Tomoko with her duties, whatever they might be.

Didn't seem like the Overcity was very popular among her current companions. Hm. Rina frowned lightly, considering her options. She didn't particularly like being in the middle of things like this, but she couldn't just leave them alone either. Ah, why did the ascendancy have to come in and start flexing their muscle. Before she could think more though, a soft voice from Mika caught her attention. Rina glanced back to her cat friend. The answer was obvious.

"Hah, friends. With beacon. I work with them occasionally because I don't have a patron." She replied with a light sigh of irritation. "I don't like them as much as I don't like the Mint." She leaned back, a serious expression crossing her features. "And I'm not going to let them do anything to either of you, got that? I may not have made one of those fancy vow's Beacon makes its members take." Rina said reaching back and patting Mika on the head. "But I refuse to let anyone hurt innocent people anywhere, be they beacon, mint, or someone else."

Even if the Ascendancy or someone else marked her as a villain in the process.

"So don't worry, got it?"

Oh? The Penrose Independent. Now that was a curious bit of information. More importantly, whoever this Mary was, her programming skills were excellent. Not as good as hers of course though, right? She could easily crack this entire thing and bring it down. She had half a mind to do so anyways just to prove a point, but that'd get a lot of people angry at her and she didn't fancy getting on the PI or her new bosses' bad side.

V:Ahaha, wow that's funny. Like so funny I don't even know how to react.
V:You and everyone in Penrose' dirty little underworld wants to meet me.
V:So what makes your little nobody organization better?

This wasn't a proposal she should accept. What stake did they have in it? Her boss preparing something? Vi bit her thumb, an old habit of nervousness she couldn't get rid of no matter how hard she tried. But then, maybe Chloe would like meeting them? She was always looking to meddle in affairs, and her logic did have some soundness to it. If the PI was preparing something, being allies and being privy to it meant they could more effectively hamper it if they were doing something they didn't like. Picking up her cell, she quickly texted Chloe about being contacted by the PI and waited for a usually swift reply.

V:You got it all wrong though, little piggies.
V:I'm not picking a fight with beacon.
V:I'm simply...arranging a fun little party where we can be ourselves.
V:Now if beacon decides to crash that and we have to defend ourselves? Well...
V:Maybe some that were on the fence might start seeing Beacon for what it really is.

Was that too much info? Mhm, no, probably not. It wasn't the full story anyways. If anything, only one sentence there was truthful in their intentions. Still no reply from Chloe either. Was she busy doing something? Ahhh, making decisions like this on her own on someone else's behalf was not something she liked doing. It was the opposite of fun times. She really didn't want to piss off Chloe inadvertently.

V: But alright, fine. You wanna meet? Place and time of my choosing.
V: Alone. No magic or other things.

"...got it..." Neffy replied in her usual quite manner towards the receptionist. Biting incident? This wasn't the first time she heard about it, but she was still curious about what exactly it was. Not that she really wanted to know the specifics. If it was bad enough for the guild to make a rule, not to mention...why would someone take heads anyways? That was rather morbid. Interrupting her own thoughts was Nehir greeting another person. Neffy cast a glance towards the new person. Someone else joining them on the job? Neffy frowned lightly, then promptly shook her head feeling a bit bad. She shouldn't get upset over someone else coming along.

...still, more people around made her more nervous.

"...H-hello..." Neffy gave Sophie a quick, quiet greeting before returning to her own thoughts hoping the other girl didn't try to speak with her.

"I don't babysit people." Bridget grunted in response to their mention of some man named Domus. Best thing someone like him could do, was stay out of her way. She was more interested in this Salome Lost anyways, and it was far more important to their current reason for being here. If it could tunnel through solid rock, that meant it had to be extremely strong, unless there was another Lost down here that could do something like that that they didn't know about.

"Well I'm gonna get moving." She cast a glance towards diamond, a throaty chuckle muffled lightly by her mask. "Feel free to run off again. Maybe I'll find your half-dead body next time." Where would they find an open area, though? These tunnels weren't going to be ideal for fighting anything of large size. She was already having trouble swinging her sword comfortably. Without waiting for confirmation from the others, Bridgett began walking deeper into the tunnels.

Claire blinked. That had not been quite what she was expecting.

Ralia merely stared at Dunstan for an eerily long time. The Ralts held a hand to her mouth, tilting her head to the side slightly as she looked at the human in front of her. Frustration? Guilt? Resignation, rather than frustration. He seemed elated that Claire had shown the entry, but...there wasn't much else she could go on. He seemed irritated at whatever Florrie had told him, but it was likely irrelevant to what they were there for.

"Aha-erm, no, that's-Bweh?!" Ralia roughly pulled on one of Claire's ears. "Ooooow, what the heck girl?" Claire gave her pokemon a rather harsh glare, tilting her head upwards slightly. "You're seriously askin' to get put in time out today."

"Raaal~" Ralia giggled happily before rolling over and still seemingly studying Dunstan.

"Right well, I dunno what this whole Zygarde and Amethyst business is, but uh, I was just a bit curious as to the Trio." She replied to Dunstan. Should she trust him? Ralia at least seemed to at least not show any signs of mistrust towards him for the moment, but he might just be good at the whole acting thing. "I talked briefly with Connor in Worldedge, he's one of your assistants? He said I should come here if I want to know more about Uxie."
