A Tavern?


She stopped and looked back over her shoulder. At least the girl before looked old enough to drink. This boy, which is exactly what he looked like, should still have been in high school. Well, Sophia doubted that anyone inside would care. She nodded.

"Sophia Pertrov."

A woman approached that looked like the most useful one that Sophia had met so far. At least she had a proper weapon. Sophia nodded, despite the rather asinine remark. At least this one looked old enough to be here.

The former soldier walked to the bar and tossed down a couple of coins that she seemed to have plenty of.

"A beer."

For now it would be fine to sit and listen to the gossip around her.

— Festival —


While waiting for the crepes He checked the message tha he had gotten several minutes ago. Not having seen any little girls that matched the description, he put the phone away. There was no sense in sending a useless reply.

August turned back with crepes in hand. It looked like Hoshiko had done well too. He was about to suggest that he carry her up onto the roof to keep an eye out for the missing girl when they were approached by someone.

"Ah, Dojima. I had been just about to suggest looking from the rooftops. It should be easier to spot someone from up there."

A Town?


Few of the people that she arrived with looked to be of any use and this princess figure was no different. But it might do to explain and see how firm a grasp she had on things.

"We need information as much as we need supplies, maybe more. We know we're suppose to fix a few problems in this world but weren't told what they were or how to accomplish this. We don't know the geography here, the political situation or anything else about where we are."

Sophia pointed at the tavern.

"In there people drink and talk. They'll moan and bitch and complain. And nothing is worth complaining over more than things you can't do anything about... other than complain, that is."

She was used to complaining and familiar with all sorts of things that she had no power over. The best way to gain the ability to influence things is to have knowledge about them. Sophia started for the tavern again with a purpose in her step. Pushing through the door this businesslike manner faded and she adopted the lazy gait of someone with nowhere better to be.

— Festival —


He smiled down at her and nodded. Both was always the right choice in this situation. Finding an empty spot seemed to be a good choice too, as well as having her make a decision.

"Okay. You can get us both some takoyaki and I'll get the crepes. Then we can go somewhere to enjoy them."

He started to move in the direction of the crepe stand. She should be able to manage a little on her own. Visiting both stands at once as well would mean avoiding any trouble if they happened to become busy later.

He stared levelly at the young Cal heiress for a moment.

"Nobody should be judged by their parentage, especially those who choose not to let it define them."

He knew little enough of the history of this shard and only slightly more about the attempted assassination at the palace. Indrau had never been one to pay attention to history in his youth and was only now discovering how invaluable it could be.

His suspicions now rested with Tiral and his silence thus far. To not say anything while the shard was in the possession of the college was to be expected but to hold his tongue even after their suspicions regarding this object came to light was odd. Since he only spoke up after Veileena brought him into things lent some truth to her side of things.

He glared at the mage but held his tongue.

Somewhere?


On the walk to the town she had checked through the bag that was hanging over her shoulder when she arrived. It's contents were unsurprising but she expected that since they were given to her then it might be very likely that she would be expected to use them. The medical supplies, while crude, were much more sophisticated than might be expected. There was also some sort of knife in a leather sheath in her jacket. No, it was a scalpel, the bevel of it's edge honed to a mirrorlike perfection. A pocket also had a handful of coins that seemed to possibly be of a high denomination.

Apparently they were all speaking the same language, whatever it was. It didn't sound like either Russian or English or even the little bit of Pashto that she had picked up in Afghanistan.

What the short... girl... thing said made sense but someone else could take care of that. That left Sophia with two choices of her own. Visit the guild and look for work or visit the tavern. She chose the latter and walked off in that direction.

— Festival —


He steered his companion onto a side street. Things were much quieter away from the main area where the festival was. This particular one only had a couple of food stalls as the only vendors and a handful of festival attendees.

August looked at each one in turn.

"It looks like we have takoyaki and crepes. Which do you want?"

Neither had any lineup to speak of.

He threaded his way though the crowds, watching the people go about doing whatever they had come to the festival for to begin with. August enjoyed festivals although he didn't feel the need to participate himself. Knowing the people were having a good time was fine with him and his participating might get in someones way.

The diminutive girl beside him seemed to not be having a very good time. Hoshiko didn't look like she wanted to be here but The Boss wanted everyone out. That included her. She clung to his arm overly tightly and he placed a reassuring hand over hers. It was good for her to be out and she was one of the few people with whom he could have a comfortable silence.

The Barghest felt a slightly prickling on the back of his neck as a girl began to push her luck too much at some trivial game. He wore a pleasant smile, watching the game of chance and waiting for the inevitable loss. Finally the festival goer made her move, and won. But the feeling of trepidation continued.

"Someones making some trouble."

He looked around over the heads of the crowd. He spotted a familiar face, and not really a pleasant one. He relaxed marginally.

"Just Shiki being too much like himself. Let's see if we can find a quiet spot and maybe a snack."

He patted her hand and turned in the opposite direction. Maybe the lines might be shorter elsewhere.

— Shopping —


It was the next day and Shizuri had yet to find herself any sort of food. She also didn't have any reliable way to contact this new girl but at the moment food seemed to be more important. Regardless, Kuroe had enough of an online presence that she should be easy to find.

So she went to actually buy some groceries. It would be busy for sure but Fid was being unusually stubborn today and it wasn't worth the effort to argue. Even had she gotten pizza it would have only delayed the inevitable. So Shizuri went to the shopping district and did her best to avoid any kind of eye contact.

It was a while before a thought struck her. Maybe the best way to get into contact would be for Kuroe to reach out publicly. It had worked well enough in the past. She took out her phone and made a post on one of her social media accounts.

High five to the dragon girl from last night. Keep at it <3

News of a new magical girl should spread quickly enough. hopefully she wasn't the kind of person who didn't use the internet.

After a sharp whistle was sounded his horse walked clmly over to him. Indrau grabbed his cane from behind the saddle and slid his sword into its sheath with a bit more force than was neccessary. He then walked near to where the Sunfield Twins were.

"Whether or not she's involved, I think we need to get moving as soon as possible."

He doubted she was outright lying, given how erratic she seemed to be anyway. The Cal girl had to be involved in some way but arguing was getting them nowhere. The knight leaned more casually on his cane and addressed the group as a whole.

"I think that you should work with us. Neither of us gain anything by staying here, at the very least we can deter any more attacks against you."
