Mice and Mage(JOB)

Job Form:

Reading the request over and over again, Yuzuki let out a snort of laughter. Seriously? These people wanted a freakin' mage to get rid of some itty bitty little mice? What were they thinking? Well, it was an easy enough job, so why not try it out? It definitely couldn't hurt to take a jab at it, since it would be very easy for a girl who could talk to the animals. What an easy, almost menial task this client had requested! Who did they think a mage was, a servant for hire? Well, it paid in jewel, which the semi-fey desperately needed, so it would be worth it. Looping her nunchuck back over her tunic belt, Yuzuki adjusted her messy, spiky ponytail and set out, leaping over buildings and telephone poles with brief flaps of her invisible wings to arrive at Oak Town faster, still chuckling over the clients' stupidity. Humans...

Arriving at their house, Yuzuki slammed her palm against the door, the wood splintering slightly as she walked in. "Yo! Yuzuki Faerydae here, your hired mage!" She walked through the house as if she owned it, stopping only when seeing a mouse scurry across the floor. Whacking it into a wall, Yuzuki continued, ending up in the kitchen where a young woman was standing on a chair while her husband, presumably was whacking at the rodents with a broom.

"Ah! Thank the gods you're here!" the woman shrieked, clinging to the flimsy structure.

"So, I just kill a bunch of rats?" Yuzuki asked, raising an eyebrow while smirking openly at the silly scene before her. What couldn't humans be smart and just befriend the animals or forge a deal? Well, humans were extremely stupid. "Well, easy 'nuff," the semi-fey muttered, seeing the couple was preoccupied. Lifting her spear, she twirled it as she walked down the hall, searching for rats.

Immediately, the silver-haired mage spotted a plump rat beneath a doorframe. She whipped her spear around quickly, pinning the rat with its deadly point on the tail and kneeling down to see it better. She licked her lips at the sight of it, from living all alone on the streets as a child. In her worst days, she had often had only rats to eat, and this one was extremely well-fed. "Please, oh, please fairy-kin, don't eat me, don't kill me, I beg of you!" it squeaked, in the animal tongue all fey could understand.

"Tch. What are you talking about, you dirty rat? Can you not tell your pretty little fairies from your hard-core fey rogues? I'm no merciful flittering flower-lover, rat, I'm just another piece of dirty street slime, and I don't give a crap about what happens to the likes of you!" Yuzuki smirked, killing the rat easily.

Swinging the spear down the hall, Yuzuki spotted a few other rats, and killed them all as well, slinging the bodies over her shoulder. As her sharp senses darted over her surroundings, she could feel the slight tremors of paws on the wooden floor, and hear the tiny scuttling sounds in the walls. Reaching a point where there was the most of these, Yuzuki herded all the rats into the area by blocking off holes and tunnels, or making loud noises near entrances.When the rats were all inside the space, they began to panic, squeaking loudly and writhing about.

"Quiet down already, you idiots!" she snarled at the wall, slamming an elbow into it, "I'm gonna make a deal with ya! I don't want any nos because I have three of you dead. Dead as a doornail, got it?" The semi-fey stuck her spear through the mouse-hole, revealing the bodies. The rats squeaked in fear, scurrying about again.

Sighing, the semi-fey spoke to them sternly. "I am a mage, and I'm on a job. I've got no time to by Missy Nicey Fairy right now, got it? I'm dead serious, and I will kill all of you if you ever pester this good family's" at this the silver-haired mage rolled her eyes, "home. Does everyone understand?" she barked, military style at the poor terrified creatures.

They huddled together, shivering in fear as their comrades bodies were dangled before them, a gigantic person yelling at them. Finally, one brave rat raised a paw, speaking up at last. "W-we understand, Fairy-sama, we won't bother these people ever again, Fairy-sama, we'll be on our way now, right?" he squeaked, glancing around worriedly at the surrounding rats. They all nodded quickly in agreement, terrified not to.

"Hm, the sama was a nice touch; just use dono and I'll be on my way," Yuzuki replied.

"Fairy-dono!" they squeaked in unison, then all rushed out in a giant furry wave into the streets. Yuzuki returned to the couple, her job complete, collected her money and began a long, jumping flight home.
