A strange glow was seen emanating from the fort for a few days at night and they have no idea what caused this to happen. A group of adventures were sent out initially but they haven't returned. It's been almost three days and now they decided to send in the authorities to check out what was going as well as the mysterious disappearance of the previous band of adventures. Taking that into consideration, Shichiro nodded and decided to begin the preparation for the journey towards the fort's whereabouts. Shichiro would then brief his team on the contents of the letter, passing it around for them to read themselves.

A slight frown formed on Hitomi's face but her attention was pulled back to the group. Shichiro had handed her a letter with contents of what sort of work they would be doing today. It seemed like an ongoing problem caused by rats, a job that seemed like it could easily be taken care of by a really good exterminator. Hitomi wanted to speak up but as she continued to read she could tell that this was no ordinary rat problem. Not only did they have rats to take care of but this became a search and rescue sort of deal as well. Now Hitomi didn't know whether to be excited, worried, or both. Passing the letter onto the next person to read she pushed herself from where she leaned against and awaited orders.

The amount of rats he would have to kill this month would definitely change his good mood though, as he was starting to get sick and tired of seeing the damned rats, no matter what shape or size they were. After signing and letting out his grievances, he simply passed the paper to the next person and allowed them to read it, while he complained to himself in a low voice. “Damn it, why does it have to be rats? Can’t this town be infested with something else, like man hunting chihuahuas or something?” Keita voiced his opinion in a rather absurd way, but there wasn’t much to do now but grin and bear it.

He had wondered what has happened to her after he has switched sides mid war. It was good to see that she had made it out of there alive. It had been a pretty heavy event to work through, he has enjoyed it immensely however since it meant he could burn as many people as he wanted.
Leaving the apothecary behind, he'd stroll down the street to go meet up with his team. They had been waiting on his injury before doing another heavy job and now that he was back in the saddle so to speak, it was back to pushing their noses against the wheel grind.
He grinned at the thought of the new skills he had been thinking up while he had been down, unfit to actually train them, he instead brainstormed several new spells that would definitely help him out in the future. For now though, he stuck to his bread and butter to get through the tasks put before him.
He would arrive with the group a few minutes later, meet with downcast looks, he could only look about inquisitively before stepping into the line and awaiting orders.

They were given a chance to prepare since it would take them a few days to reach their destination. Hitomi thought they should leave today but she didn't speak up on it. She didn't have any questions herself but she waited until someone else maybe had a question to ask before she departed. If a question did come up she would stick around and listen to the answer because it would perhaps help her out as well. The other two members were new to her and she had to make a note to properly introduce herself to them. It seemed like it was about to be a long job ahead of them.
Thu Jul 01, 2021 3:27 pm
Keita thought about what could be causing the strange glow, but his mind was drawing a blank, mostly because there were so many things it could be in this magically enriched world, that simply something glowing was not enough to go off of. The final thing that was said was that they were going to break off for the night and prepare for a two day journey tomorrow, and Keita nodded at this. He knew how important it was to be prepared, and his survival skills were passable, so he wanted to find some hard tack or some other survival food, just in case, and plenty of water. Keita shook his head when Shichiro asked if there was anything else anyone wanted to add, as he felt that he was a bit too inexperienced to think of anything.

Frowning at the reminder of such a situation, he'd turn his attention back to his boss as the man spoke about the fact that they would be on this mission for more than a few days, travel time included. It made sense, they were responding to what could only be considered a true threat to the people at this point. If the rat populace was showing signs of contamination, then that could only mean that there was someone or something behind it, or they were evolving to become a bigger problem than they had thought.
Looking back at Shichiro as he finished his spiel, the taller man would speak up, "What about the building we were working at before? Are the people going to be safe with whatever the hell we encountered lurking about inside of there?"
Thu Jul 01, 2021 5:12 pm
If there were any new questions, he'd answer them to the best of his ability but if there weren't any additional questions, he'd dismiss the team and have them travel around Orchid City in order to get the provisions they needed in order to survive the couple of days they had to travel there. On his way to the door, his companion Panther Lily had jumped onto his shoulder and accompanied him out. Should anybody else had joined him, he'd welcome them as long as it was on the way to the few destinations he had in mind to gather up some supplies.

Hitomi didn't have any questions and so she departed in order to prepare for tomorrow's job. She needed to get her sword sharpened but first, she needed to make sure they were able to get fresh water, have sustainable food, and maybe something to sleep on. Though that last item would probably not be needed. She wouldn't be able to sleep knowing rats could come and devour her face or something. Heading into the city she began to look into different shops. She needed to start shopping early so she could get a good night's sleep and a deep cleaning shower since she wouldn't know when they would be able to clean themselves properly.
Thu Jul 01, 2021 5:46 pm
After that, he wanted to make sure he had some basic gear for traveling in a dangerous part of the wilderness when getting to the rats, and so he needed to head to a specialty store as well. He was getting paid well, especially for this mission, so he did not mind splurging a bit to make sure he and his team were safe on their travels. As he headed out of their meeting place, he started heading to the general store, and sitting outside of it was a kind old man that asked if he needed assistance finding anything, which would make his job there easier.

Taking a stroll back down the street on the way to his hotel, he'd stop at the local grocery store to grab some dried fruits and jerky. Seeing a jug as well, he'd grab it as well knowing that he was likely going to need some water as well. Putting all of these things in his cart as well as a travel bag to carry it all, he'd go and check it out at the front before proceeding back to his hotel to finish packing.
Stashing a few changes of clothes as well as a tent, he'd check the rest of his materials for before sighing and climbing back into bed. They wouldn't be leaving for some time so he might as well catch some shut eye before they left.
Thu Jul 01, 2021 10:59 pm
Next on his list was some rope, about fifty feet long or so. He wasn't sure if he was going to use all of this but once again, never hurt to go prepared. A survival knife that was very good at anything combat related but good for general use and a water skin. He thought about what more could be needed. Well, they would need something to see in dark areas so Shichiro figured he'd buy at least five torches, one for each member of the team and a tinderbox to light said torches. Lastly, he needs to buy a backpack to hold all of this crap in before they head out.

The next thing she picked up was a water purifier and a few containers. Being without clean water was practically a death sentence and the one she purchased took it a step further and cleaned all impurities from any water, including poisons and any other nasty things that could be in there. With all her shopping she nearly forgot about the blacksmith. Spending a little more time with it she realized that there would be none that she could find quickly without losing sleep. Hitting up a few more stores for food that would last, an all-purpose swiss army knife, ponchos for heavy rain situations, and a few other items she thought they would need. At the end of her little shopping spree, she also got a bag to carry it all in with about two bottles of booze to boot. It could be used for cleaning, drinking, or burning rats alive.
Fri Jul 02, 2021 4:48 pm
He also bought some rope and some tight cord, so that it would be easier to climb things with the cord, but also because rope was nearly universally useful when going outdoors, and he did not need to list the various good things about it. He also got a small box of water proof matches, although this seemed a little redundant, because he knew two of his members could breath and manipulate flames, but it was just to be sure. Once he had everything, he headed home.
Fri Jul 02, 2021 5:07 pm
Pulling himself from his bed, he'd walk over and prepare himself for the day, washing his face and brushing his teeth. His morning routine wasn't too far from the standard, just the essential hygiene that was necessary to be a competent member of society. After he was certain he was clean, he put on a fresh black shirt and his orange jumpsuit before zipping it up and grabbing his travel sack. He'd have to stop by an outdoors store on his way out to the gate to pick up some more essentials, but for the most part he had grabbed all of the necessary items that he was going to need for their excursion. He honestly wondered how crazy this quest was going to get. The original objective before had been to clear rats, and look how that ended up.
Fri Jul 02, 2021 8:19 pm
Sleeping for the night, Shichiro awoke bright and early in order to get ready for the trip ahead of him and his team. Putting all of the supplies in his knapsack, he got into the bathroom to freshen up, get dressed and head out when he was good and ready. Accompanied by lily panther, Shichiro had designated the meeting spot to be the opposite entrance of Orchid city. That was in the direction of where they would need to travel. Wearing the knapsack on his back and having Lily Panther lay on it comfortably, he'd wait for the rest of them to arrive before heading off on their journey.
Sat Jul 03, 2021 8:17 am
Since the restaurant wasn't far from where she was, Hitomi decided to walk there. Of course, with how beautiful she looked she got a lot of head turns and even a few bold proposals. Hitomi either ignored them or kindly denied them. She wasn't looking for a relationship with just anyone. Once at the restaurant she ate to her heart's content and drank until she was full and tipsy. Paying the bill and thanking the waiters as she tipped them, she wobbled herself back to the inn, took a shower and went to bed. Waking up with the sun she quickly checked her bag and items once over to make sure she didn't forget anything. With one more shower and putting on some comfortable clothes, she grabbed her bag and Kusanagi and headed out the door, making her way to the opposite entrance of Orchidia where she waved down Shichiro where she would wait for the rest of the crew.
Sat Jul 03, 2021 11:42 pm
After he was sure he was ready, he whistled, calling his lemur which flew a small circle around him before perching on his shoulder, before he walked out and headed towards the front, or in this case back, of the town to meet up with the rest of the group. As he got to the meeting point, it seemed that he was the third one to get there, and waved to the two others of the group, before finding a bench to sit down while waiting for Seika.
Sun Jul 04, 2021 7:00 am
Pushing aside some clothing that had been hanging low on a line, Seika found himself over by his crew, all of them sitting in some way shape or fashion and apparently waiting on him as he had been the last to arrive. Bothering to at least look sheepish for his blunder and lack of awareness of time, he excused himself to stand over by the gate after giving a nod to his commanding officer and teammates. He would wait patiently for Shichiro to give the signal for them to head out. His eyes would train off into the distance past the open gate, awaiting whatever sat before them.
Sun Jul 04, 2021 12:20 pm
He'd then turn to Panther Lily who was resting on his shoulder. He'd tell his companion that he'd have to go to sleep early while they were traveling so he could stay up all night with each individual member that was taking their shift. Lily Panther nodded as he began to slide further behind Shichiro's shoulder in between it and the shield Shichiro wears on his back. He wouldn't try to go to sleep immediately as it was still early but he'd make himself comfortable. "Now then, You guys can agree who takes what watch on our way there and I'll take whatever is left but we should get moving now," Shichiro said as he started to walk towards their destination.
Sun Jul 04, 2021 5:16 pm
I'll take a second watch. I rather get the pecking order out of the way now.
Speaking in a matter of factly way as she followed behind Shichiro, looking over at the other two mages. She wasn't properly introduced and since they had a lot as far as getting to their destination goes she thought it best to fill in the empty air.
I know we are on a first-name basis but let me introduce myself again since you only know it from my tag. My name is Hitomi Minamoto, Nice to formally meet you. Smiling she gave the two a nod. Her introduction short and to the point.
Mon Jul 05, 2021 4:04 pm
Keita quickly started following him, and soon he heard the woman Hitomi say that she was going to take second watch and that she wanted to establish a pecking order. Keita thought that this was a weird way to phrase it, but had to admit that she was right, and that they might as well hash it out that she was of a higher rank than they were, although he was unsure how Seika felt about it, it should be fine, since around Shichiro he seemed far more militaristic and proper.
She then introduced herself, and Keita followed. "Nice to meet you Miss Minamoto, I am Keita Vespasiano, and I'm happy to be working with you." Keita politely said back, and he was going to make it clear that he was fine with authority. "I don't mind taking first watch, I do have some summoning magic that would help quite well in that regard."
Tue Jul 06, 2021 3:45 pm
He was moderately surprised when the newcomer spoke up first. While he was used to Keita's somewhat quiet mannerisms, he wasn't sure if the woman was trying to pick a fight or not with how she was speaking, but considering Keita didn't even address it, he would follow suit. Seeing as the only watch that was left was the third one, he wordlessly accepted the fact that he would be watching over everyone third and then fell into line behind the group as they marched off. It was time to get to work.
Tue Jul 06, 2021 7:49 pm
Eventually night had fallen and the party had walked far enough to where their was a traveler made resting spot somewhere off to the side. It was small opening in the trees to where they could safely navigate to in a small cave where they could set up for the night. Shichiro had instructed Panther Lily to check and see if the cave was safe for them to stay in since he was smaller and more agile than most of them. After a few minutes, Panther Lily returned to confirm no other creature had made its lair here and it mostly had the scent of humans that might have made their way here. With that settle, Shichiro instructed his team to set up camp as best they could in order to get a meal, check their equipment and then go sleep with whoever taking the first watch doing so.
