A Missing Pearl [Job: Find The Missing/Stolen Jewelry] [Private] [Kiru and Shade]

"Yeah... Right." Kiru replied, her mind half focused on their surroundings as her cyan colored gaze quickly scanned the buildings and allies the duo passed. Make their job a hell of a lot easier if Shade's minions managed to find some useful information, but Kiru still had to look out for the stolen goods herself. As they walked farther from the port, the lingering stench of freshly caught fish began to fade from her smell, and that was one thing she was thankful for. She'd notice multiple people getting to work right away, hacking and butchering the dead sea creatures, which in turn created a smell she couldn't stand. Especially since Kiru was a vegetarian. Cooked meat was bad enough, but raw meat was even worse.

"Aye, it's odd to have so much gold around one pearl. Then again, there's apparently a demand to look expensive." She put simply. Implying the people who owned this object were probably filthy rich. "Guess that didn't really do a lot for them this time though."

As they continued, Kiru couldn't help but notice a smaller, but still sparsely populated street. The looks of which seemed to be a little shady. "Guess we reached the rough part of town?" Kiru inquired before diverting her path towards the street. Seemed like the perfect place to start asking around. These folks were dressed differently from the other citizens of Hargeron. Most seemed like poor fishermen, trying to sell their god knows how old fish to anyone who needed food. must be some sort of run down market Kiru thought. That's when she started to notice the two girls were getting strange looks. A few men were staring at them from afar for reasons unknown to Kiru... But then a curious thought popped into her head... Was her crystal like braid worth something?

“Looking expensive” made sense, an amusing thing that really hadn’t changed throughout the time Shade “lived” – even if the manner of style did. Though in such times it felt like a nice way to paint a target on one’s head as well and moments like this very job cropped up from time-to-time. ’Then again common sense isn’t really common I suppose…they really should’ve just placed some sort of Spell of Ownership or enchantment or something on the ring. Would make this scads easier.’

Two girls in the rougher part of town certainly sounded like a brilliant idea, Shade’s blood starting to purr in her veins at the thought. Finally away from the fish smell! Granted they’d be dealing with a different, still kind of scummy scent, but at least these people might be more entertaining than the fishmongers trying to sell their wares. ’Probably too much to hope these guys just approach us and try to sell us knock offs…oh well.’ They unfortunately didn’t quite fit the area, making them a target worthy of some wariness…buuuut being female might’ve warranted them a bit more approachability too.

Unaware as she appeared, Shade felt the pair of men start to follow them. Nobody came uninvited to the party. Such was the proper way of any hostess! They kept a nice and even pace with the pair as they further waltzed right into the questionable part of town. Free from the primary wharf and slight crowds there, voices finally rang out.

” ‘Ey girlies, you lookin’ fer a good time?”

Stopping and peering over her shoulder, Shade smiled at the two leering men. ”Something like that. I don’t ‘spose you guys know a good, second-hand “jewelry” shop by any chance?”

”We got some jewels right here for you ladies,” the two high-fived in a fit of malicious laughter after the gentleman pointed towards his jeans.

”Sorry, I prefer pearls. Not swine.” Their grins vanished like ice in a desert at noon, fists balled and ready.

(OOC: splitting the boss roll into two strongs)

"Huh?" Kiru turned her head as soon as she heard the two hulking figures behind the pair. It seemed Shade already had her focus on them as well. The two groups exchanged a few lines of dialogue, before one side was growing agitated with Shade's response. Throughout the entire endeavour Kiru stood silent, staring widely eye'd at the two men who previously attempted to make a few jokes to the pair. Kirk raised an eyebrow when he pointed to his jeans and they both laughed. Honestly, she had no idea what was so funny.

"I'd very much like to find this missing pearl as well." Kiru finally spoke up once Shade had given her final response. She stared at them both with a stern look, not showing any signs of caution even though the two men's body language had shifted. Kiru walked right up to the bigger fella and stared into him deeply with her cyan eyes. "Like she said... You wouldn't happen to know anywhere, or anyone who may be involved in the possession of a certain pearl necklace would you?" Her mouth stayed shut afterwards. The two were surprised by her sudden approach, but the anger still remained.

"Oi, I don't think I like ye attitudes towards us fine gents. Call us pigs will you? Sounds like someone's gotta teach you some manners!" The man infant of Kiru quickly raised his fist above her, as his partner watched with an amused expression. However, something grabbed onto his arm before he could bring it down. Kiru stood unmoving, continuing to stare up at him. He turned his head to see some sort of liquid wrapped in a tentacle like shape around his wrist. His eyes widened before it pulled back, dragging him along with it. It let go, propelling him to roll down the street about 15 feet... Then 7 more tendrils appeared behind her...

A moment of silence went by as the man got to his feet slowly, and she turned her face towards his friend. Her expression unchanged.

Kiru’s no-nonsense, ballsy attitude caused Shade’s eyebrows to rise: she liked this girl. Whether she meant to act like an alpha or couldn’t read their body language mattered little in the end though as the two-toned girl waltzed right up to the bigger of the two with little care. In the face of her confidence they balked a little and the summoner almost laughed at them for it. Almost. She was enjoying the show too much to possibly interrupt it.

Briefly she considered summoning one of her little minions’ true forms, easily able to call one of them to her from wherever they currently roamed. Except Kiru flung one of the “fine gents” aside…away really. The man’s friend blinked, his brain likely doing a play-by-play rewind as he accepted what just happened. Jolting where he stood, the fellow started waving his hands in front of him, ”Okay, okay! Didn’t realize you lovely ladies were mages! Just don’t send me flaying, all right?” For good measure he backed up a few steps, not wanting to get too close to the water wielder.

”No running away until you tell us about the pawn shops in the area,” Shade demanded, lightly glaring at the man as if to dare him to try.

”Right, right “second-hand jewelry stores” like ya asked. I mean there’s a few in the area, but if you want the really nice goods you go to Paulie’s. A lot of the other places won’t touch the really good stuff in case the police show up cause of stolen goods, but Paulie? He don’t care. He sells it off right quick so they don’t catch him.” The man started gesturing as he offered directions, ”You go up this road, take a right at the liquor store, and then another right down the alley behind it and you’ll see his sign. Usually a tough guy standing outside, his bouncer in case people get rough or belligerent in their deal making. Can’t miss it. If yer lookin’ for a pearl he’s probably got it by now.”

Well, he sounded truthful enough. At least judging by how nervous he became after watching Kiru effortlessly toss his larger friend aside Shade didn’t think he could concoct too many random details or lies so quickly. She waited a moment, seeming to mull this over in her mind as a denizen in the area backtracked a little to find this shop. Spying the man in front of a decrepit sign with “Paulie” still legible despite grime, Shade nodded, ”I think we can trust him just this once…though, if I were you two ‘fine gents’ I’d be careful about approaching random women. You’d be surprised how vicious we can be when we want to, you know?” She giggled, having planned a few things if it’d turned out he’d been lying about the shop. However she grabbed ahold of Kiru’s arm, tugging her along, ”Come now, let’s not dawdle too long. You heard the man: he sells these things off pretty quick so we better hop to it!” Let him help his friend to a bar to drink away the encounter or whatever they decided. Shade didn’t particularly care, too enthralled with what her new little friend had just done. ’This “Paulie” person better watch out!’

Silence. That was all that Kiru needed to say. Nothing. It seemed she got her point across to the two men as one had been stupid enough to to attack her. Luckily for him, his friend seemed to be a bit more cooperative then he was before. SHade spoke up once Kiru crossed her arms, the tendrils swinging slowly behind her, as if they were apart of a living creature. The tone of his voice, and the speed from which he delivered his plight told Kiru he was probably being truthful. Hopefully. For his sake anyways. The things other people did, it sickened her. Being isolated from humanity for the majority of her life had made her social skills lack, but she could still easily predict weather someone was smart enough to not lie to her face. Thankfully Shade seemed to share similar feelings.

The speed he told them made Kiru's eyes narrow as she heard about this "Paulie" fella. Apparently a pawn shop owner who different from the rest. As Shade quickly dispatched the two other men with some final warnings, she proceeded to drag Kiru once again, similarilry to when she did in the Black Rose guildhall. The tendrils quickly evaporated as her focus shifted to her white haired friend. Knowing her companion probably memorized the directions from the blubbering man, she simply went along with it.

"This Paulie guy seems like a promising target. I hope he doesn't give us any trouble."

”Something tells me that’ll be the case. One does not simply go against the law and not put up some fight about it. Especially since, well, we’re not exactly cops…but who knows, maybe he’ll be a sniveling coweard?” She spoke with a joyous, uncaring tone. At this point Shade fully expected trouble so her real question lay in “how much?” They didn’t have the luxury of the law following up something too suspicious happening to them, even if the guild likely would. But if this guy continued to operate a sketchy business he not only could worm his way around the law, but probably tore through it at points too.

Keeping her arm linked with Kiru’s, Shade strolled them right up to the door, that sweet and slightly spacey smile of her’s securely in place as she pointed it towards the tall and burly fellow outside the door and decrepit sign, ”Hello! We’re here to see if Paulie has some nice jewelry in stock! We tried a few other shops, but they mostly had silly trinkets and 50 jewel machine baubles!”

It was obvious from the way the guy looked them up and down he wasn’t entirely sure what to make of them. The muscular man mulled it over before jerking his head towards the door, silently telling them to go inside. Likely he figured if they did then it’d be easy to subdue them, but more likely that his boss could rip them off as far as selling “jewelry” went.

Inside the shop the place could use a good cleaning, at least in the summoner’s opinion. ’Definitely doesn’t keep the good stuff out in plain view…this is mostly junk.’ Various styles of lacrima stereos and TVs lined the walls, some old clothes on racks for sale that were far more gaudy than valuable looking, and some cheap and gold-plated and silver-plated jewelry sat in cases. Some false memorabilia from famous mages sat in parts as well, though she distrusted the authenticity of the signatures and items in general, sure that most if not all were falsified for gullible fans. Here and there she could see some rabble meandering or standing about, either acting like staff of the shop or more likely muscle.

And towards the back sat a large, rotund man in a dirty tank top with a greasy grin. Even under the dull lighting of the place the top of his head gleamed, hair framing around the large, bald top of his head, and a single gold tooth occasionally sparkled in his mouth.

’Must be Paulie.’

The stench was the first think Kiru had noticed as she stepped into the musty old shop. Along with dust, rotting wood from which she could only assume came from the poor condition the building displayed, was the aroma of greasy body oder. The dim light quickly enveloped the surrounding as the two girls as they stepped inside. The pieces of what the owner of the shop was apparently selling wer scattered around the interior. Kiru quickly took mental notes of every piece, quietly scanning the area for the necklace they were looking for. All the while Shade was apparently scoping out the inhabitants of this store, pointing out the man in charge in the process.

"And what can ol Paulie get ye two gemstones?" The fat man said with a yellow grin, sitting comfortably behind his counter. Eyeing both Kiru and Shade with a somewhat hungry stare. However, Kiru took no notice of that. Her mind was focused on the job. "We're looking for a special pearl necklace. It was reported missing, and our source points us to this shop... Have you seen it?" She asked calmly, holding up the job paper, showing Paulie the picture. All the while the two girls were doing this, a few suspicious eyes were gazing them from behind...

Bleh. She knew that look. Multiple ideas of what she’d like to do to him floated in her head, but Shade kept her smile in place compared to the obvious book reading the man laid out for them. He needn’t see her imaginative rending of his soul into pieces and letting her lovelies devour them. At least her mind delved deeply into that rabbit hole right up until Kiru started speaking. Like a bucket of cold water Shade’s smile vanished and she blinked, ’She really does just cut to the chase.’ Now the summoner rather liked Kiru’s “straight to the point” nature, but she started to wonder if maybe the girl also lacked a bit of social skills? Subtlety at least wasn’t her ally and Shade could imagine that she simply decided to bypass the “unnecessary” guise or skirting around the issue…but she was also starting to think maybe her new, fun friend wasn’t just ballsy as all heck.

’At least it fits with her confidence though. Would be a problem otherwise.’ She noted movement from some of the surrounding folks as the man shifted in his chair, the metal hinges crying out as if in pain at the motion.

”Can’t says that I have,” he grumbled in a fake, considering tone as a fat palm rubbed his unshaven chin, ”Not a bad specimen though. I could fetch a pretty penny for such a thing…if it were given to me legitimately o’ course.” He chuckled at his joke, some of the others in the room joining in as if they expected the two to either not understand or slowly realize that maybe, just maybe, they shouldn’t push the issue.

At this point though Shade wondered what Kiru might do, lightly tapping her chin whilst considering who might be best in this situation. ’As fun as CM would be, this place is a bit small for someone of his stature, and I don’t think Desa could move well…ah, yes she’ll be perfect for this environment.’ Was just a matter of timing as she didn’t want to be accused of jumping the gun.

Kiru could smell the liquor on the man's breath. It was pretty revolting, but no evidence of the girl's expression told anyone she cared. However, everything about this man seemed sketchy. And Something told Kiru he was't being very truthful. Her emotionless stare slowly formed into a cold glare. "Is that so? Shame. Obviously you have a pretty good business going... I assumed if anything like this necklace went missing in Hargeron, people could rely on you to have it ready for the first buyer..." She said coldly. Paying no attention to the looks the two girls were getting, Kiru could still sense the tension growing on these men when the demon slayer wouldn't drop the conversation.

"I mean honestly, you make a lot of money from this... Pawn shop. It'd suck if it was all washed away over a petty trinket. Wouldn't you think? I mean, if a couple of mage's walked into here looking for something, and you told them what you told me. They probably wouldn't give up so easily... Enough to prove a point anyways..." If anyone could sense it, that was a threat. Kiru knew this man was holding something back, and she was going to get it out of him. She only hoped Shade had caught on with her plan. The rain outside could be heard, pelting harder on the roof...

Shade pursed her lips. She had too. This was all too funny for the girl. There her partner stood on the cusp of accusing him of having it. No roundabouts about it, just very vaguely insinuating at the end…perhaps more insinuating that they were mages rather than offering any veiled attempts at giving him the “benefit of the doubt” about not having it. And the way his face contorted! So many emotions! Those bushy brows flew right up, surprised at Kiru’s gall to call him out on his lie even as the snickers stopped for the most part – some crony amidst the store tried to subdue his and received a hard shove from another to further stifle the action. It was the threat though she offered that really turned the grubby man an ugly ruddy color.

Those yellow teeth could almost be heard grinding against one another in his increasing anger. Her audacity struck a nerve in the man as he finally stood, the chair giving a squeak of relief even as those large palms slammed down on the glass displays and caused it to rattle, ”What’re you trying to say, ‘Girlie?!’ Who you think you are, coming in here and threatening me?! Pretty lofty claims coming from someone not from this area! I know yer no Lamia mage, that’s for sure!”

As he spoke Shade noted more folk’s arrivals, some slipping in from side door’s where possibly more waited. ’Hopefully they’re just coming to see what’s going on…but an agitated boss isn’t a good one either…’

Kiru's eyebrow raised. She had been studying his body language the entire time she spoke. Watching closely at his reactions. The facial expressions, the uneasy shifting in his seat, and his sweaty fists balling together told Kiru everything she needed to know. After all, she did tell Shade she was a pretty good lie detector. Time to back that up. Paulie obviously wans't telling the truth about the necklace, and she was going to get it out of him. If she had to fend off his lies, and then next his cronies, so be it.

Kiru simply looked over at Shade and raised an eyebrow after his angry response. She then returned her attention to Paulie. "You're right, I'm not form around here. Neither is my friend. However, I find it strange... I never tried to threaten you. Funny you would all of a sudden resort to that."

”Awfully lofty of you to claim I’m lying and then deny it yourself!” the man choked out. The way his eye bulged proved interesting to Shade, the girl wondering if he might become so angry the thing pops right out! ”It’d take an idiot or a deaf man for it to go unnoticed! You threatened my business when you have no right! If I weren’t such a nice guy I might even be inclined to file a grievance against you both! Though you can be sure next time your pretty little behinds will be barred at the door!”

’Hmm…the pistols would be better in terms of coverage…I’m probably going to need to borrow your power Hallowed.’ The gentle acknowledgement was all the okay she required even if the other guardian couldn’t truly deny her. As far as Amarylis and Hallowed went Shade often veered towards requests rather than orders since she hadn’t created them personally. However with this fellow’s anger she held half a mind to let CM rampage like a bull in a Midi shop if not for it being a little too tight. ’Well…with these numbers I’ll just have to level the playing field. Kumei’s a bit on the burly side…buuuut we could also use a few more friends. Maybe a pistol and a dagger then? Hmm…’

Kiru's expression remained unchanged through the man's sudden outburst. She simply stared at him with her calm, and cyan colored gaze. All the while the two girls seemed to be attracting a crowd behind them, but it didn't really seem like Kiru noticed. "Is that so? Huh, that's a little underwhelming. Here I was thinking you had exactly what we needed..." She sighed, before shifting her glance behind her shoulder to the group of shady looking gentlemen starting to crowd the pair. A cold glare struck her face as she could sense the hostility building up in their surroundings before looking back at Shade. "Then again, how often do people lie so they can keep their stolen goods?" She asked. The question was rhetorical, as Kiru wasted no time speaking again. However, this time her voice was much more serious... It gave off a chilling vibe to combine with her cold stare, only to hear the rain pelt on the roof even harder... The low rumble of thunder heard in the distance.

"Paulie's reputation would be kept as it was if he decided to do the smart thing and just hand it over... We've known since we got here. You're idiotic bumbling and body language has told us all we need to know." She spoke boldly, obviously not caring at all about the situation she seemed to be getting her and Shade in.

(SO SORRY FOR THE EXTREMELY LATE POST! I got so many things I had to get through, but now it's here. I promise it won't be as late in the future!)

'Monster Dice' :

Finally the straw broke the camel’s back, teeth gritting so hard in the large man’s mouth they stood in danger of cracking. ”YOU INSOLENT LITTLE WENCH!” he screamed. Standing the man revealed a large mace in his hand, the thing already taking an angry swing for Kiru’s head as his aggression focused on her. Their boss’s outrage became the starting gunshot for the hefty amount of cronies that’d filtered into the room. Except some didn’t quite know where to jump into the fray with minimal targets at hand and maybe a rack or shelf, or few in the way as well.

Being a bull in a porcelain or glass shop mattered very little for them. As long as they didn’t break the pearl necklace nothing else mattered, right? And besides it couldn’t all be stolen merchandise…Shade held little qualms summoning the thick chested Kumei. Shivers trickled down the spines of those close to the dark blue beast, his white mane standing out almost as much as the luminescent, bright blue of his face and underbelly. Through an open shelf something darted from his mouth, the needle-like claws attached to his “tongue” slipping into the skin of an armed punk and then his friend right next to him. A grunt slipped out as a large, wooden plank slammed on his back, head turning a bit to stare into the eyes of the grungy fellow who slowly started to reconsider his life choices before a bat slammed him upside the head in turn. Taking effect, the poison slipped into the bloodstream of the duet took hold and they started screaming like banshees whilst waving their toys about with reckless abandon. If asked Kumei couldn’t explain why he enjoyed forcing the living to make fools of themselves…but it was highly entertaining nevertheless.

Four shots rang out, a little smoke rising from the barrels of the twin pistols. Weapons raised above their heads now frozen in place the two armed men who’d been ready to bring their pipes down on the white-haired girl’s head found themselves unsure. No pain blossomed, and they failed to see any blood fly from the person opposite…and yet as movement came back they turned away from her. Crack! A metal pipe struck one of the fellows wielding a knife upside the head and left him out cold on the ground, a small pool of red growing. The other ruthlessly beat one of their newer grunts, ignoring his protest – despite the growing look of horror on his face at finding he simply couldn’t stop.

’No need to activate the second bullets…yet…’ Shade reminded herself, wincing as she couldn’t fully escape the swing of another fellow’s plank of wood. Her arm smarted, but the rack of clothes behind her prevented a proper dodge. ’Might need another two though…then we can make this place look properly festive.’

It happened so fast! ANd Kiru had expected as much. Instantly, the man grabbed a large mace from behind the counter and yelled at Kiru. Her eyes simply narrowed as he raised the weapon. Not paying much attention to the others, The demon slayer quickly ducked, barley missing the blow as it smashed into a stack of class cases on the counter. That was all that the other men needed as an excuse to jump in to the fight. Of course many were a little hesitant at first, due to the fact they had such a big number advantage... Of course none of them actually knew what they were going up against either.

Confident Shade could take care of herself, Kiru's attention was purely focused on Paulie and a few of his cronies who rushed to his sides. As soon as she rose back up, Kiru's foot came swinging over the counter with a ball of pure white water surrounding it! The pressure of the blow hit Paulie directly in the ribs, forcing him back a few feet before the demon slayer swung around and kicked in the counter with her other! The sudden explosion of dust and splinters didn't slow her however. Once a path was created, the girl quickly dove straight for the mace wielder. Four tendrils followed her as they quickly latched on to a few of the pawn shop owenr's men. It seemed like they had minds of their own, as they were able to drag the others around while Kiru's focus was seemingly all focused on Paulie. Sidestepping another Mace blow, she brought her foot over. However, he had expected this and quickly stepped backwards, barely missing the blow as Kiru's fist came after, colliding with his stomach. White water swirling around it at torrent speed! He grunted in pain as he was forced against the wall, crashing into more delicate cases. At the sight of their boss's distress, more came to assist him. Kiru's expression was angry as she eyed two smaller fellas armed with nasty looking swords. She got in a defensive stance as they rushed her! The first one came forward with a downward slash, once Kiru quickly predicted, sidestepped, and grabbed hold of the man's arm. Twisting it as he yelled in pain, before kicking him in the chest straight into his friend. They both tumbled on the floor as Paulie was making another attempt at the Demon Slayer from behind. He came faster then expected however, and Kiru was forced to roll forwards to dodge the heavy mace blow. Right in front of the other street urchin who just regained his footing. Using her agility, Kiru had a split second to jump upwards, just above his horizontal sword slash. In mid air, she brought her feet upwards, and kicked him in the face. The torrents of water managed to push her backwards as she rolled past Paulie again, a water tendril following her to trip the mace wielder. The powerful tendril dragged across the floor before throwing him against the urchin...

Kiru stood in a kneeling stance, one hand on the ground while the other hung outwards in a fist. Her heavy breathing conflicted with her cold stare at Paulie... He was pissed now. Slowly getting up again, readying his mace for another go...

Increasing levels of destruction and chaos left the realm owner sure this shop would cease to exist after today. At the very least it’d require some serious renovations, but more than likely “Paulie” here would be taken in for selling stolen merchandise. ’Well, assuming he makes it out of this.’ Things continued to escalate, her little pawns managing to fend off a few attacks from other cronies – Kiru deserved a little one-on-one action in Shade’s mind and though people slipped through the cracks she wanted to avoid too many escaping.

”Tsk tsk, you boys are naughty! You’re supposed to be playing with me!” Pistol flush against a man’s stomach with only his thin tank top between them Shade fired. He grunted, stumbling backwards and a hand instinctively holding the spot. Despite the persisting ache he drudged up enough courage to pull his hand away and found a strong lack of blood. Anger welled within him, growls dropping from his mouth as he swiftly fished out a knife and brandished it towards the smiling girl. ”Oh…oh! I guess I forgot!” gleeful tones laced her “bad acting” as a hand raised to Shade’s mouth, gun glinting off the bad lights, ”Showtime!”

’If only there was more white in here!’ White held so many possibilities in Shade’s mind. A blank canvas ready to become a masterpiece. A way to dilute colors and gain varying shades from otherwise dark or vibrant hues. A sea of possibilities for her! It was why she adored Hallowed’s seeds a bit more than Amarylis’ because while Amarylis dealt with a form that grew into charcoal colored plants his practically lit up the room in their brilliance. And most importantly, as a few of the cronies found branches plunging out of their bodies and others found themselves speared to walls the glowing branches and twigs gained rivulets and small rivers of red.

It was just like Christmas!

Some of the pawns she’d converted – albeit against their will – found themselves in this unfortunate predicament as the branches lifted them towards the ceiling. Normally Shade approved of proper trees and maybe the odd cactus or two, but this time she’d settled for the idea of thick vines if only to prevent too many pieces. It forced a few against the wall, spines and thorns pricking at them and keeping them well enough in place as they could only watch in horror at the fading life of their afflicted friends.

”We should wrap this up Kiru! Can’t keep the client waiting too long!” the summoner called out, smile and cheer in place as the bulky Kumei came to stand at her side. A white feline plush slipped by the fighting, a pearl necklace looped around her neck a couple of times. Dodging a wild swing of the mace Macha trotted towards her owner, the pistols dissolving from the white haired girl’s hands so she could pick up her little denizen.
