Everything is Permitted: Seikatsu and Hana Suzuki

Seikatsu received a letter from one of the leaders of a village attempting to incite an uprising in Fiore, unsure of what Seikatsu would have to do with such a thing he continued reading the auspicious letter. The man desired for Seikatsu to assist with the taking down of the head of an army's leader... a man named... "Major Heracles." Seikatsu couldn't possibly see how his presence would make any form of a difference in the matter, but still, it was a job. Seikatsu climbed up the inside of the trunk of his tree-home and opened the hatch permitting him to be impacted by rays of warmth from the all-loving sun. Seikatsu shielded his eyes from the brief intensity of the light while they readjusted from having come in from normal fluorescent house lightings of his home.
He stepped out and began stretching, making sure to get limber from having rested so long. Lisa, his pet wyvern, had flew from the make shift door of the incognito house and began stretching her lengthy body as well. Seikatsu checked his bag and noticed they were low on supplies.
"Hmmm....." Seikatsu said, looking into the empty bag.
Lisa crawled up Seikatsu using the sharp claws on her wings. She looked into the bag and made a set of clicking sounds.
"I guess we gotta go to town?" Seikatsu said with displeasure.
Seikatsu took off his cloak and called forth a set of ethereal wings. The black wings unfurled, glowing with the energy gathered from the souls constantly moving about him. Seikatsu kept hold of his cloak while flying to Rose Garden, figuring it'd be best to get supplies that were fresh, and not buy them in hargeon so they could spoil. The flight was long, and a bit harsh with the jet streams around the mountains, but Seikatsu was able to make the flight safely. He landed in Rose Garden, just a few clicks from his Job's start point, and made his way to the market.
Whilst purusing some of the items he'd need for this job, Seikatsu noticed a young lady that he'd seen before. She was a bit tall for a girl, her age being set aside on that note. He wasn't quite sure how to get her attention without the world hearing the nature of the topic.
"Psst, Lisa." Seikatsu called to his wyvern.
The small black creature let off a set of high-pitched clicking sounds and poked her head from Seikatsu's cloak.
"That girl over there, the one with pink hair and darkened tips..." Seikatsu whispered.
Lisa looked at her, and turned her head back to Seikatsu for the orders.
"Get her attention, and bring her to the water fountain in the towns center at midnight. I needa talk to her." Seikatsu ordered.
Seikatsu walked out the store, and the small wyvern flew over to the girl. Seikatsu didn't see either of them until midnight, where he told her about the letter, mentioning that his gut tells him she would be a great assistance.
"By the way, name's Ni-" Seikatsu stopped himself before he said it.
"Seikatsu...
Seikatsu of the Tribe of Souls." he corrected himself.

Seikatsu turns his head slightly upon hearing the girl speak her name. He stoods up and looked at her. Studying the girl, Seikatsu notes her slender curvaceous figure, and her petite body. 'She's definitely got the look...' he thought to herself. He looked up and noticed her larger bust, but didn't bother to stare at it more than enough to understand it was larger than a normal assailant's. Seikatsu didn't care for studying a woman's part in depth, he looked at the woman and judged whether or not she could hold her own in a fight.
'She's a fighter.' Seikatsu thought after studying her for about a minute and a half.
Seikatsu kept his hood up to mask his eyes, and demonic scar as he held out his arm. Lisa lept off of Hana's shoulder with force and landed on Seikatsu's outstretched appendage. He began stroking the small wyvern's head gently, the creature making happy clicking sounds while being petted.
"You did well." Seikatsu complimented the animal.
Lisa crawled under Seikatsu's cloak and wrapped around his arm, where she normally hid when not needed. Seikatsu turned his head to the girl again, the only notion of this from the outside world was the moving of the hooded part of the cloak. He reached into the black robe he was wearing under the tattered, torn up, trashy looking tan cloak and pulled out the letter he'd received. He stretched out his hand and passed it to the girl without saying a word and then took a seat on the edge of the fountain again while she read it.

Upon receiving the letter Seikatsu gave her the directions to an encampment placed just a bit outside River Village. He was waiting for her outside the debriefing tent when she arrived wearing  a rather tight, revealing attire. Seikatsu felt somewhat underdressed for the occasion as he was wearing the same tattered, torn tan cloak he always wore for this kind of thing. He ignored it and opened the curtain for the debriefing. It seemed he was waiting for that exact moment, stalling the others with his senseless words since just as Hana and Seikatsu entered the room he said the part of his speech where they came into play, reassuring his rookies.
“We're nearing a turning point in our efforts. But we need to turn up the pressure! Major Heracles of the Rune Knights is visiting his home town of River Village." he turned to Seikatsu and Hana
"I want you to assassinate him, you don't have to fight him head on. In fact I wouldn't recommend it, but it would be quite impressive if you did, it'd also be a great show of our power. In any case at the end of the day, Major Heracles needs to be dead. I'll be sending my best men to keep the others busy for you." the general said.
"Sir." Seikatsu said in a professional voice.
"I would prefer your men to stay here."
"Pardon?"
"My associate and I are more that capable of taking the Major's head. If you're men were to cause a commotion in the streets it could be detrimental to the success of your own plan. We'll do this alone, you can send your men in to confirm the kill, and take down anyone we missed on the way." Seikatsu said.
"I won't force you to accept our help, if you don't return by morning I'm sending my men." the general said.
Seikatsu watched as the men all left, some thankful, some disappointed. From their reactions, Seikatsu knew who was fresh and who had been fighting for a while. He turned to Hana and looked her in the eyes.
"Ms. Hana, thank you for agreeing to come on this job. I believe I've seen your work before, where from, I cannot say." Seikatsu turned to the table and began rearranging the pieces. "That man calls himself 'The Reaper King' for some odd reason, yet he requires others to do his own work. And he obviously doesn't know how to map out a town properly..." Seikatsu said, referring to how all the pieces on the map represented buildings that were in the wrong place. After arranging them to be in the proper locations, Seikatsu got down to explaining his plan. "It's your basic double operation. I'll go in and take down twp of the guards positioned here on the outside of the village. I'll set up one of the bodies to look like a brutal murder, and draw some attention away from the streets." Seikatsu said, using a black bishop chess piece to represent himself.
"What I'd like you to do, is to go through the streets and pick off some of the Rune Knights that are in less concentrated numbers. I'll use these killings as an excuse to move positions from place to place, and after I'm close enough to the Major's house I'll switch from being one of them, to joining you in the dark." Seikatsu said, using a white rook to represent Hana.
"I'd imagine the Major to have been alerted to our presence, but at this point his forces will be so scattered that all we'd have to do is deal with the four wizards he keeps as a personal guard." Seikatsu said, using a King to represent the Major, and four pawns for the mages.
"I'll do my best to keep the four wizards at bay, while you..." Seikatsu moved the white rook directly to the king, knocking the piece over"... take out the Major."
Seikatsu walked out the room after letting Hana know the operation begins at sundown, which was just a good six or so hours away.

Waiting for Hana to be out of his line of sight, Seikatsu quickly removed his clothing and set it them in the bushes not too far from a lone guardsman. Seikatsu waited for  another rune knight to appear on scene. He'd climbed a nearby tree and awaited the right moment, when the two were most unaware of their surroundings, to put his own plans into action. As the two spoke to each other, Seikatsu let off a distressed sound, a type that would suggest a man were being strangled. He waited for the first of the two to pass him, and targeted the second. Seikatsu jumped from the tree and onto the targeted knight, twisting his helmet and by consequence, his head. The distinct snapping of separating vertebrae was so loud it alerted the knight in front him, either that of the clanking of the man's armour when Seikatsu jumped on him. Seikatsu pulled the knights sword and quickly stabbed it into the remaining knight leaving a painful hole in his body. He spun around and slit the knight's throat, killing the man in a few seconds of choking on his own blood. Seikatsu disrobed the knight who's neck he'd snapped and quickly put the armour on. He kept his two swords on his person, making him stick out slightly, but he'd created a decent alibi for why his swords weren't 'Rune Knight Regulation' blades. The main reason he wanted to keep them on hand was so if Hana and him crossed paths, she wouldn't try to gut him.

Seikatsu ran into River Village frantically, breathing heavily and acting like a complete fool. He tripped over his own feet, for dramatic effect, and scurried to one of the other knights. "S-s-s-s-s- Sir please, I-i-" Seikatsu began saying, sounding as frantic as possible. "Calm down you'll give yourself a heart attack. Now slowly, what happened kid?" one of the more seasoned Knights said. "I-I-I w-was on duty at-at the entrance and s-some guy came out of nowhere!" Seikatsu said. The other knights turned their attention to him. "I h-heard screaming, a-and ... and... oh god!" Seikatsu said, maintaining his rouse. Many of the men prepared for an ambush by a large force, suspecting the plan was to kill one, let the other live so the enemy could wipe them all out when they arrived. The men were split up into groups, some to line alleyways, some to walk the perimeter, others to stay put. Seikatsu was ordered to stay in the village and cool down, something he had no problem with as he gingerly snapped the neck of the other man he was to guard the village square with. Seikatsu continued to move positions, claiming to each victim that he had orders to be put there moments before killing off the targets. Seikatsu wanted to make sure the area wasn't too crowded when Hana and he went for the Major. By the end of just thirty minutes, Seikatsu had broken seven necks, rammed his blade into the hearts of ten backs, disemboweled three men, and even hung a man using the belt he was trying to put on. Twenty-One people taken out in the not so hard to reach places, and Seikatsu was still not under suspicion from the others. His ability to blend in was further enhanced when a few men came out of the barracks. Seikatsu waited a few moments before slipping in with the group as they were dispersed.

Seikatsu had spotted a group of rather decent looking wizards entering a strange building and decided he'd go on and take out the not so weak enemy, before his cover was blown. Moving with the small unit through the streets, one of the men called to Seikatsu. "Hey guy, you know those swords aren't allowed for grunts like us!" he said, kindly watching out for his shield-brother. "These belong to Major Heracles, he had me looking after them, but then I got ordered to deploy. Some crazy person's lighting the alleyways with bodies, heh I gotta go check it out." Seikatsu's said in a forced irritance. "Yeah, I hear that. Got reports of some guy being hung by his own belt not too long ago, think it's the same killer?" the soldier said to Seikatsu. "Don't care who the killer was, I just wanna find the bodies and not 'him' instead." Seikatsu said, shuddering in his armour.

He split up with his convoy and went into the house with the four mages, who weren't all to thrilled to see him. "Knight! Be gone!" one of them said. "Sorry sir, I have orders to safeguard you, there's a knight patrolling outside as well sir." Seikatsu said respectively. "Very well, just don't interrupt our work." the man said angrily. It seemed that the four of them were going to use magic to pinpoint his ally who was wiping people out indiscriminately. Seikatsu wasn't that good with other magic than his own, but he did know magic like this required so much concentration that you're completely unaware of your surroundings... Seikatsu smiled under his helmet and said "Sir, yes sir!" to the wizards. The wizards began their works and Seikatsu waited for them to be half done with their job. Flickering was seen through the window, along with some murmuring sounds coming through the door that people dismissed as them chanting. Seikatsu walked out, through the crack in the door he looked at the man bleeding from his stomach, the one pinned to the wall with a steak knife, the one who no longer had a heart problem, and the man whom he'd bisected and walked away.

He went to the alleyway and removed his bloodstained armour realizing there was only so much your could wipe off. 'Guess I'm gonna go streaking.' Seikatsu joked to himself. He'd seen a small girl running for dear life towards him. She seemed a quite distressed, the child saw the run knight armour Seikatsu had half taken off, not noticing the blood on the other side. "S-sir knight!" she called to the valiant rune knight. "Yes, civilian?" Seikatsu replied, trying to play the character. "Th-th-this, this crazy lady... she just... ju-" Seikatsu grabbed the child by her throat and began squeezing 'She got sloppy.' Seikatsu thought, realizing Hana didn't finish the job with this one. The little girl got but a fraction of a squeal out before Seikatsu picked her up by the neck. The difference between Seikatsu and a human, was half a demon, and nothing more to lose. Seikatsu held the child in the air until she stopped squirming, and then he finally snapped her neck and climbed ladder to get on the roof. Hopefully, no one would notice his tan body or the two swords, as he moved about on the roof-tops. In all honesty, Seikatsu was glad there wasn't a breeze and didn't care if he was seen.

(OOC: I noticed it after you posted that xD Confused the C ranks for a strong roll. Also, let's take our time on these ones since we need 10 more posts each. Not excruciatingly slow, just not as fast as we've been knockin' em down.)

Seikatsu, being thankful his partner hadn't cared that he was buck ass naked, looked around. His eyes turned crimson as he focused in on their soul resonances. "There's ten weaker wizards on the outside, as well as eight inside, accompanied by two more stronger ones inside closest to the major." His head turned to the outside, and looked around at the surrounding buildings. "There's also several more forces in the buildings outside his house, It's difficult for me to see how strong, but there's a fair bit." Seikatsu crouched forwards just a bit. There was a fair bit of civilians down below, too many to let live. He put his hand to his chin trying to think what to do... Ms. Hana was a substantially stronger fighter, but the wizards would need to be together to fight off whatever was in the houses. Seikatsu knew what to do, he closed his eyes and took a breath.

A few seconds later a freak meteor storm occurred, riddling the civilians with fire and earth, some being crushed by the rocks, others getting their heads blown off, some had meteors blast through their chests. In the end, they all died. "Atta girl..." Seikatsu said under his breath. At that moment, he charged into battle appearing as a naked demon charging through the embers left by Lisa's Draconic Outburst attack.

Seikatsu bolted at a one of the wizards and plunged both swords into his chest, keeping his momentum, Seikatsu flipped over the falling man while pulling his swords out of him. He spun while ducking under a sword, cutting the lower legs of a wizard off. As he came up from the crouched position, Seikatsu slammed the tip of his sword through the bottom of a Rune Knight's helmet, into his head and consequently, his brain. The wizard was on the ground screaming in pain and Seikatsu leapt over him, moving on to Another pair of wizards. Seikatsu spun while standing between the two, slashing their chests open while they were charging a spell of sorts. He jumped out of the way as a fireball slammed down where he stood. Seikatsu looked and saw the source of the fireball wit a hole in his chest, compliments of Lisa, Seikatsu assumed. Seikatsu jumped into a set of bushes that were in front an alley way, and disappeared from sight. He jumped over a fence and came in contact with a dog that made a horrible guard dog if that's what the owners wanted him for. He jumped over the other fence and began making his way through another alley back to the battle zone. Upon entering, he jumped on the back of a Rune Knight that was looking in the direction he disappeared in. Seikatsu sent his sword all the way through the slot between the man's helmet and armour, as this provided a clear line of sight at his neck.

Seikatsu noticed a small child running through the area Lisa's meteors fell. 'A survivor?' Seikatsu thought to himself. He made no hast to intercept the child, and immediately behead her. His expression in doing so didn't change in the slightest, he was neither happy nor sad. He reared back in time to have some rock fly past his ear, and see the caster collapse on the ground with a slit throat. Seikatsu quickly went up to a female wizard and crouched while spinning. His Heart of War cut off her leg, his Thorn of Betrayal pierced her heart on her way to the floor.

((OOC: It's an unsaid rule, one of many, that unless the job demands the boss to be rolled the player can flat out summon it out of nowhere. In fact, we could end this job with him not even being in the town, but that's no fun...))

Seikatsu was surrounded by a good ten or so rune knights who were very much opposed to seeing him exposed. Seikatsu on the other had was glad to expose himself, he didn't like wearing clothes as they constricted his movements. Seikatsu charged at a female knights and jumped so his legs were wrapped around her head. Not sure how to react to her fantastic view of Seikatsu's manhood, she panicked but only long enough that Seikatsu twisted his body and snapped her neck. He performed a series of backflips, each time being missed by an elemental spell. He ended up between a Rune Knight and a mage, performing a spin with his swords held blade out. The mage went down from having his guts slashed open, but the knight's armour kept him safe. He slashed at Seikatsu and sent him flying into a fireball. The pain of the fire on his bare back hurt like hell but that was gonna have to wait. Seikatsu charged and inserted his sword in the face of the Rune Knight who sent him into the fireball, and pulled the Thorn of Betrayal up cutting the knight's skull in half and removing his helmet. Seikatsu dropped his Heart of War and caught the helmet with his hand where the head would fit. He used the helmet to block an incoming earth spell, and then spun around and threw his Thorn of Betrayal at the mage who fired it.

Seikatsu picked the Heart of War up, using the helmet as a deflector, and the Hear of War to cut, Seikatsu entered a duel with two knights. He used the helmet to block one attack while he spun and used the Heart of War to block another. Seikatsu pulled the knight on his sword end closer by hooking one of the notches in the Heart of War to his armour. He performed a series of small hits running from the knights stomach to his chin, before ducking under a sword from behind that was aiming at his head. Seikatsu spun around to behind the dazed knight and shoved him forwards as the knight originally behind him was thrusting. The other Rune Knight attempted to pull his blade out of his ally, but was too last as Seikatsu ran the Heart of War through the hole in his mask. Seikatsu ran from his end of the battle to the mage with the Thorn of Betrayal in his heart who was amazingly still alive, just not trying to fight. Seikatsu flipped over the mage while pulling the Thorn of Betrayal out, and inserting the Heart of War into his back. It finally came to his attention that he was still naked, when he looked down and saw his lack of clothing. 'So that's why I'm not having problems moving...' he thought to himself.

Seikatsu had dodged a pair of water and earth attacks, barely, and got sword locked with a Rune Knight when he heard his ally calling for him, asking if it was a good time to go for the Major. Seikatsu pushed the Rune Knight back and spun on his heel, using both of his swords to cut at his stomach through the gap between his hauberk and cuisses. The knight hit the floor and Seikatsu began making his way to his ally. If he had a loud voice he would simply shout to her, but his voice would only go so far and because he didn't talk much, that distance wasn't really far. Seikatsu jumped slamming his groin into a male wizard and spinning immediately to snap his neck. He landed sideways and rolled, allowing a fire attack to miss him as he ended up next to another wizard that he slashed at the knees, and then stabbed in the face. Seikatsu commando rolled from a crouched position, which was faster than getting up and running, to the next wizard and slammed the dagger end of his Thorn of Betrayal in the she-wizards stomach, then pulls up causing her clothing and stomach to be ripped open. Seikatsu got hit in the shoulder by a water attack, then stumbled him a bit. 'Thank god that wasn't fire...' Seikatsu thought to himself. Looking in front, there was a wizard, and another to the back and he was still too far to shout to Hana.

Seikatsu smile and darted at the enemy in front him, knowing the one in the back would be smart and try to hit him. As soon as he felt the heat from the fireball, Seikatsu jumped to the side and watched as his original target got slammed by the flames. The wizard in front was grabbing at the burn spot while cursing his friend who burnt him, Seikatsu took the moment to relieve him of that burning feeling by taking of his head. Seikatsu threw the severed head at the other wizard, creating a momentary distraction while he got in close and plunged both swords into the wizards stomach. Seikatsu pulled them out and then inserted them into the wizard's chest. Seikatsu walked over to Hana as his original clothes fell from the sky. He caught them and began putting the pants on. "I had to remove my clothes to fit into a set of the Rune Knight's armour. After a while I had to take the armour off because it was far too bloody to be a viable disguise. My apologies for the indecency." Seikatsu said as he got his sash tied around his waist. He turned around and bowed politely to Hana. "I shall be rid of the last of the wizards, and leave the general to you." Seikatsu finished putting his robes on, and finally tied his cloak and put the hood up on it. "Additionally..." Seikatsu said as a set of ghost like creatures emerged from the battlefield, entering Hana. "Allow Lisa to aid those wounds."

Seikatsu watched as four wizards ran out in front him and Hana. "A devil's kiss is nothing for me to concern myself with..." Seikatsu said as his crimson eyes turned to white, signaling he was actually pushing himself beyond his normal limits. "I am weaker than you my lady. I know little of your life, so I will assume I am less experienced as well. It is why I asked you to fight the major." Seikatsu said with a strange split in his voice, it sounded as if someone was holding a child's microphone toy to his mouth as he spoke. Seikatsu turned and locked his glowing white eyes with his ally, and then looked at the four wizards. "Go forth Lady Hana." Seikatsu said. One of the wizards fired a shot at Seikatsu, a hastily made fire attack that had no power at all. Seikatsu put his fist out and let the flame explode on it, the fire left a very minor burn, but not one that screamed for medical attention. Seikatsu stared at the four wizards, the last of the weaklings, and spoke to them. "I am Seikatsu, chief of the Tribe of Souls, and your current opponent." Seikatsu said with his split voice. He spread his legs slightly to improve his balance, and got his blades in a battle ready stance. "Make sure to say hello to the guardian of the Netherworld for me." Seikatsu said as he charged in.

Seikatsu moved from in front the four wizards to standing in the middle of them, one directly next to him, the other a good ten or so meters away, and two in between. Seikatsu slammed his Heart of War into the one closes to him and did a back flip. The three wizards were charging spells, the fourth trying to get the sword out. "Com och hyalp mig, Alstoba." Seikatsu said, the Heart of War exploding into dust. As the Heart of War exploded, so did the wizard it was stuck in, sending his ribs, lungs, heart and a few accessory bits of gore all over. The metallic mist settled and condensed to form a woman dressed in a dark purple dress with red laces. "You know dear, it's awful rude to only bring me out when you're fighting." the woman said, her voice was regal as if she were still a reigning queen. "I told you before, you know my name so use it wench." Seikatsu said coldly. "Whatever, Sir Seikatsu..." she said mocking the soul wizard "...Let's show them what happens when you fight a demon." she said with a large sadistic smile on her face.

Seikatsu was prepared to fight the three remaining wizards alongside Altsoba when four more arrived. They were blatantly more skilled than the three piss-ants in front Seikatsu, and would require someone a bit more sturdy than the partial incarnation of a demon. "Go my love, entrust these three to myself. I shall not fail you." Altsoba said with a slight smile on her face. Seikatsu stepped forward and rested his free hand on her scythe. Both weapons, Altsoba's Scythe, and Seikatsu's Thorn of Betrayal became engulfed in ice shards by the effect of Seikatsu's Imbue Ice, as well as being wrapped in a strange cross hatched weaving that glowed in a dark blue and black color. "I am not you love, you have my expectation for victory." Seikatsu said as he began moving to a side, drawing the attention of the four stronger wizards. Altsoba faced the four men with a smile on her face, "Tell me my children, have any of you fought a war queen? Or perhaps a demon? No? 'Tis your lucky day, but you won't live long enough to enjoy it." Altsoba said as her expression changed to a grin, bearing two sharp incisors.

Altsoba charged forwards at the three wizards at speeds faster than Seikatsu's. Her smaller frame, and lack of armour permitted her to run, but she could take far less damage before perishing. The demon queen evade rolled as a pair of fire balls came at her. Seeing a large stone coming at her she used her scythe to slice clean through it, and continued charging. The wizards didn't know how to handle such a skilled opponent, in fact they didn't know how to handle a real opponent. Altsoba could smell the fresh, unseasoned blood of theirs as she appeared in front one and slammed her scythe on the new wizard's stomach, lifting him off the ground. She flicked the body aside using it to intercept another fireball that was launched at her as she went for the second. This one, a woman around twenty or so, she tried to run back some but was no match. Altsoba was missed by a pair of water attacks, the caster not being able to calculate for moving targets, and she caught up to the she-wizard and quickly beheaded her. A flame engulfed Altsoba dealing heavy damage to her, but the demon queen was too proud of her title to give up. She charged for the final wizard, cutting in half another rock and closed the gap. She jumped on his head, wrapping her legs around it and spun, snapping the neck in half. Breathing heavily, she decided to rest a bit and let her master finish his fight.
