She sighed and looked at her cup of tea, strange to sit in a good looking cafe in Oak. She had expected some sort of spooky ghost town with all bad guys hiding for the day light because imagine a Rune Knight was around. But she had too quickly judged again and now she was sitting and drinking tea in a very pretty porcelain cup and overthinking her best approach. She needed to find Lucifer and see what his idea would be about this plan, she had waited long enough! How long ago had she sold her soul to the demon of Fire to get her sister killed?

After the black bird was out of the vicinity and Michelle took a deep breath to calm herself, she unrolled the small parchment to read her new orders. As usual, the message was encoded, but it wasn’t something she couldn’t decipher in her head quickly.
Michelle,
I heard that the Light Dragon Slayer is in Oak. Get her to join us. She has orange hair and hazel-chocolate eyes. She has a twin she desires to kill. The twin has hazel-golden eyes. Confirm identity before extending the invitation. Don’t fail me.
Benjamin
Lacie’s face flashed in front of her immediately and Michelle’s eyes widened. Could it be her?! There was only one way to find out. As always, Michelle shred the parchment into innumerable pieces and scattered it to the wind. Receiving a new mission has rejuvenated her faith in herself. She had started to doubt whether Ben sent her away because he was disappointed in her. But now, even if he was, this was her chance to prove she was still valuable. Determined to succeed, she started her search for the girl she had met that morning. As much as she hated it, her first and obvious choice was to go to the doctor to see if he had any information regarding her fellow guinea pig. Unfortunately, he didn’t; so, she had to go around the streets asking shopkeepers and beggars. It took her a long while, but she finally found her; at a café.
Approaching her, Michelle spoke in her usual tactless tone. “Weird morning, eh? How did the rest of the day go for you?” she asked.
Wed Jan 31, 2018 3:29 pm
It blocked her in every way that she wanted to avoid. She didn't say anything, she merely kept her mouth shut and stared at the tea cup again, for crying out loud even in Oak she wasn't save. As long as they thought she was Alice, she would be fine and not arrested and probably hanged in the old fashioned way. She looked up from her thoughts moments later when she noticed miss Hunter at her table. She still didn't know her first name but she would get to that, if she played nicely and friendly that is. "Ah that man is a fraud and a very annoying person, the rest of my morning compared to that was.. deadly boring." She gave a smile and waved towards the chair, "Please take a seat."

Michelle looked into Lacie’s eyes for a few seconds without saying anything, trying to discern if those eyes were chocolate-hazel or golden-hazel. The setting sun did not make things easier and she decided to speak before things got awkward. “Have me met before? I mean… apart from this morning. I feel like I have seen you somewhere else,” Michelle lied. The assassin had never met Lacie or her twin, Alice. But she hoped the response to this would possibly confirm the fact that she was indeed talking to the right person.
Meanwhile, the café’s waitress approached Michelle, ready to take her order. “I’ll have a cup of camomile tea, please,” she said, dismissing the waitress and turning her attention back to Lacie.
Sat Feb 03, 2018 3:04 pm
As the waitress showed up she plastered the smile on her face again, "Of course she is every where and a lovely person, I'm sorry we don't talk much so I wouldn't know you." But the thing is that it really pissed her off, mostly because she had try to run away from her, especially after what she had done. She narrowed her eyes, "You are looking for her I assume?"
Sun Feb 04, 2018 3:15 pm
In any case, Michelle was happy that she was talking to one of the twins. Now begins the difficult part; she must confirm if she was indeed talking to the light dragon slayer. “Oh no! You said she was a cop. Why would I go looking for a cop?” Michelle said. It was partly true; she did not want to run into a cop with all that she has been doing in Oak. But if that’s what it took to meet the light dragon slayer, then she wouldn’t hesitate to. Lucky for her, the light dragon slayer was not the cop twin.
There was another clue Benjamin gave her: she was looking to kill someone. Of course, this was not something a person would share with someone they barely know. So, there was only one thing to do; to get acquainted with her more. “I was just looking to make some friends. I have been doing quests all alone since I came here. Good company is helpful sometimes… Like today morning. Thank you for keeping me sane. Your words helped,” she said. That last bit was definitely true. “So… I saw you sitting here and thought maybe I can ask you to party up with me for a short while. If you are up for it, that is,” she said, sipping her tea.

She looked up from her cup of tea when Michelle said she was looking for friends, that's what she had thought for herself. A small smile appeared on her lips, perhaps that ridiculous liquid had done something well. "I never liked doing jobs alone." That's what she told Chelvaric and it had been true but she had to leave Judina her side to walk out of Baska before Alice would find her. "I was glad as well that I wasn't alone. But yeah, rather not do jobs for that geezer at the moment but I wouldn't mind joining your one woman party." She took a sip of her tea, well that was easy taken care off. "Did you come to Oak for a reason?"
Mon Feb 05, 2018 6:43 am
“No big reason. Just running some errands for my master and doing other odd jobs along the way. What about you?” she bounced the question back and went back to thinking. The tea had lost its perfect temperature and Michelle just gulped the last bit down. Just as she placed the cup back onto the saucer, an idea struck her. She didn’t need to know the magic of the one sitting opposite her; she only needed to know what magic her twin sister used. And if that was not light dragon slayer magic, then by default, this one ought to be using it. “Your twin sister… What should I look for to not mistake her for you? You guys have some immediate differences in appearance or personality… or maybe the kind of magic? I’m just asking because I would don’t want to bump into her and act all friendly, with her being a cop and all,” she said, attempting an innocent chuckle at the end.

With the way Michelle talked, Lacie was too dumb to see more about it than: she must be a dark mage. That was okay with Lacie, she wasn't really nice herself anyway. She shook her head, "There are some things, like I'm shorter, she is more muscle and she had no freckles and has golden green eyes while I have brown." she tapped her cheek bone to point out and frowned, "Last I know was that she had some weapon magic, I have no idea how it works though. I only saw it once. She transformed in front of my eyes. Of course very impressive." Especially if she hang a spear above your head but she wouldn't talk about that. So much has happened and she wondered if it was possible that she got a different magic, it would explain why she had not thrown weapons at Lacie in Baska, of course she had to take care off Kon at that point but still, how difficult could it be if that was your magic?
Thu Feb 08, 2018 10:13 am
The assassin listened carefully as Lacie listed the differences. Her lips curved involuntarily as she said her eye colour was ‘brown’. Yes! She is the one. Her assumption was further confirmed when she said her twin has some weapon magic, which was definitely far from a dragon slayer magic. “Oh! Nice…” she said, sitting back and sighing softly. Now that she had confirmed her identity, it was finally time to reveal the truth. “So… That means, I’m guessing you are the one with the light dragon slayer magic?” she asked. But before Lacie went and assumed Michelle was hostile, she quickly added, “Don’t worry! Your secret is safe with me. But… It won’t be long before people find out and you have a big target on your back. Don’t you think you’ll be safer with people to back you up?” she would ask in a very low tone so that nobody else can hear their conversation. “I’ll be straight with you. I’m here because my master asked to invite you into our organization. I didn’t say so in the beginning because I wanted to confirm who you are first. I heard you want to kill someone. Come join us. We are good at killing,” she said, smirking at her last sentence.
If Lacie denied the invitation, Michelle would smile and try to convince her to do some jobs with her before making a decision. “There is no need to hurry with your decision. My offer to team up for a few jobs is genuine and still open. Stick around… See how we do things and make your decision then,” she said, hoping that she can eventually change the dragon slayer’s mind. “How about we start tomorrow? I’ll meet you at the town bulletin board,” she said, eagerly waiting for a positive answer.
Fri Feb 09, 2018 7:46 am
Michelle actually asked what Lacie had been looking for but she had also mentioned a master and she wasn't doing very good with that. Which she mentioned a few seconds later and she was sure she still didn't like the idea. She was even caught off guard when Michelle smiled at her about killing, "As wonderful as it sounds, I don't do good in organisations. I already took care of this killing thing, all I need to wait for is a sign from Lucifer himself." She accidentally dropped the name but didn't say anything about it nor showed a sign. The devil could be just as well be Lucifer and considering he was a dark mage she would say so.
She wanted to say it was pleasant to meet but that they would have to split ways but Michelle was faster again, "Fine, doing jobs together is again more pleasant than alone." So she nodded, and looked rather grumpy about the time but would meet Michelle at the bulletin board in the morning, "If you don't mind. I have to think things over." she stood up and paid for her tea and left the cafe.
Exit.

Although she heard her say something about ‘Lucifer’, she didn’t think much of it. She assumed it was some assassin she might have hired to kill her target, and completely missed the reference to the devil, at that moment. In any case, Michelle was happy Lacie didn’t deny her request to team up for jobs. This would give her plenty of opportunities for her to interact and understand what she can offer to make the light dragon slayer join them.
Soon after Michelle revealed her true intentions, Lacie excused herself. The purple-haired mage could understand why she would want to keep her distance, but sincerely hoped she would keep her promise and turn up the next morning. It would truly be a pain to track her down again, especially if she was on the run from her. Michelle simply nodded and smiled as Lacie paid for her drink and walked away. “See you tomorrow,” she said. Once Lacie was out of her vicinity, Michelle too would pay for her drink and head back to her room. Now, she could do nothing but wait and hope for the best.
