Orchida. Jikan's little home. Filled with the faces and bodies of people ptesent long before her and Sleeping Calamity shower up. The isolated independent town faced many dark makes and guilds forming in the town before, and the random mercabry group, and the random. Trouble makers. It was nothing new for them. The citizens felt like they knew how to handle themselves, with or without the small presence of Rune Knights that had always been stationed in their region. Their guards cycled in and out, and did what they could. But for the most part, the town fended for themselves.
Either way when the storm came thag was the battle between Sleeping Calamity found and a higher group of Rune Knights. Chaos and destruction ensued. The unknown and unexpected wave of destruction that was mother nature was enough, but he onslaught of combat between the groups caused further damage. It was a good thing people left because of nature, but when they came back home the town was in far worse state than just anything a storm or flood could do.
Many did not return, nor at first. Slowly over time though when Sleeping Calamity build their building and began to rebuild the surround areas, more and more people came. At first it was just the founders, or founder to say more accurate. Jikan. She had returned after breaking out of jail, but it seemed the others went their own ways.
Jikan found herself picking up the pieces, and keeping a low head to the ground. Through time, combat, and influence, she faced the many low level underworld beings that pushed into the town and tired to move in after her. She set the hierarchy, with her at the top. As long as she was there as the founder, the criminals would obey her rules. Some crimes where not allowed and other crimes would be done under the shadow of the light and in the night. Ideally not traceable, small crimes, or crimes that had a profit that would have the stains possibly be washed in time and effort.
But two general things were clear from her form the start. Absolutely no children, and not the town of Orchidia.
So, when she saw card game going off in the middle of the street she thought nothing of it. But as she got closer just walking around doing her patrol of her territory. Well she saw the slight of hand tricks and more importantly...mana.
The man was cheating.
She walked up and tapped the man on the shoulder, a smirk on her face that was a tab bit eerie. The town folks had grown to know this look to be one she used when people were causing trouble for the town's people or were up to no good against Calamity.
"Hello there".
