Mashyuu in: Hey is for horses

Job Details:

Mashyuu and Itsu entered the town of Hosenki, a rather attractive land in the grand scale of things, large buildings plenty of shops, and hotels to make anyone feel welcome in the town no matter what area they stayed in. Itsu wandered around, window shopping at all the various items on sale at shops, spotting a sword that looked like it was made for her hip, she reached into her pocket and pulled out lint, a pout forming on her full lips. Mashyuu laughed and patted her shoulder. "Just so you know, I plan on getting you a very special sword. But really we should get you a not ripped dress first." Mashyuu motioned at her ripped green dress and motioned nodded to a large hotel with a set of stables built into the side of the building. "But I gotta go clean those stables out, why don't you go relax today and meet me in a few hours back here?" Mashyuu suggested. "Okay, but you gotta promise to take an extra shower when we get home because I really don't want to have to smell you all night." Itsu grinned and skipped down the road, green hair and curves bouncing with every skip she made. Mashyuu watched her leave, a wide grin on his face while his mind wandered to some not so pure thoughts. A running horse galloping past him, pulled Mashyuu back to a normal train of thought as it rushed past him. Mashyuu looked back at the store and entered it, walked right to the sword Itsu had been looking at and picked it up. He looked it over and spun it around in his palm, taking care to note the balance of the weapon and get a sense for the feel of the magic within. He would be back for the weapon as soon as he could be. The door shut behind him as he walked out of the shop, Mashyuu pulled his brown gi closer to his chest, his blue eyes darting about to see if there was anything he should be aware of. Mashyuu didn't see anything and headed to the hotel. As he came upon the front door, it was flung open and nearly smacked Mashyuu in the face, he barely stepped out of the way in time to avoid getting bowled over by what looked like some local Rune Knight. "My apologies master Wizard. If you plan on staying here I would point you in a different direction. We will be shutting this place down tomorrow if the smell isn't taken care of." The Rune Knight explained. "Well maybe I can help keep this place open then, but thank you for your concern. Have a good day." Mashyuu smiled happily as the two passed one another and Mashyuu slipped into the hotel. His nose was hit with the horrid smell of horse dung and soiled hey, causing Mashyuu to rock like a drunk until he found a near by seat and sat down in it. "Holy crap that is terrible." He groaned while trying to take in air and expend it through his mouth instead of his nose.

Sitting in the chair with his head held low, Mashyuu drew deep breaths of air until he was sure that he could get up and walk about without the smell bothering him any more. He stood up and cracked his neck, all of his bones popped and cracked until he felt amazing. He grinned and walked up to the counter of the hotel and waited for the clerk to give him some attention. "Yes, how can I help you sir?" The short man asked. Mashyuu dug into the pockets of his brown pants and pulled out a job request and slid it over the counter. "Hi, I'm Mashyuu from Sabertooth and I'm here to clean out those stables." He replied happily all while looking around the marbled building. "Fancy place you have here. Do you always get this kind of rush around this time of year?" Mashyuu asked. The clerk reached under his counter and grabbed a pair of keys while motioning for Mashyuu to follow him. "We have never gotten a group like this before, so many came in at once that I don't understand how we even housed them all on top of our normal flow. Anyway thank you so much for coming. I was afraid I'd have to shut down. Any tool you would need can be found in the stables, aside from that if you need anything feel free to come ask." The clerk expressed while he placed the key in his hand inside a lock, twisting the key and opening a door to the massive stables. Mashyuu felt his stomach twist with agony while he got a better whiff of the smell. The ground was covered almost knee high in horse crap, coating the once fresh hey. He reached inside the stable door way and grabbed a pair of large rubber boots, pulled them on and took off his gi, only to hang it up on a coat rack by the door. Mashyuu jumped down and shut the door behind him the moment his feet smashed into the crap and put him in a small crater. "Ughh this is gonna suck." He groaned. His eyes wandered about to look for a trash can only to see a door at the side of the stables across from him. "Guess I gotta dig my way over to the door if I want to get his crap outta here." Mashyuu spoke to himself. The man looked up into the rafters some twenty feet above him to see fresh bales of hey stacked up tall to the roof, a ladder resting at the side of the wall to get to the rafters. Each stable had doors that needed to be cleaned and a hose for water rolled up and mounted on the wall behind the Wizard. He picked up a shovel and groaned, already feeling the ache in his bones from what he was about to do. With a sigh of regret for even taking the job Mashyuu dug his shovel into the pile of crap and got to work.

Skipping through town Itsu was getting a lot of looks from some not so savory men who had watched Mashyuu and the green haired beauty enter town. Seven men to be exact, all of witch had started working for a local gang and were feeling like they could do anything they wanted. With Mashyuu, the group were sure that they couldn't take the two but with Mashyuu gone they were sure that Itsu would be easy pickings and likely bring in a good penny if she were sold into slavery. As she skipped past the men they started to move out in the street and follow her, each drawing a thick stick or a knife. Itsu rounded a corner and stopped, finding herself in an alley of red brick some fifteen feet long and six feet wide. She huffed and tapped her foot rapidly while crossing her arms under her bust. "Well that is annoying..." She spun around on her heels only to see the seven men blocking her path. "Oh... hello, do I know you?" Itsu asked while looking at the weapons in the men's hands. "No but we want to get to know you baby, go ahead guys, bring her in for me." The leader of the small gang ordered. Six men rushed Itsu while she slipped a foot back and took a fighting stance. "Phantom Speed." Itsu muttered and jumped, leaving an after image in her place as she vanished, appeared behind a man and slammed her fist into the back of his skull, sending him flying through the air and into the brick wall, cracking the front of his face open, blood spraying from his nose as he slipped to the floor. "All these boys and you can't keep up with me. How boring." Itsu taunted then vanished again, her elbow slamming down on another mans shoulder, the bone cracking and popping out of the socket. as he slumped to the ground and dropped his knife. She looked to the wall and teleported above the man and landed straight on the top of his head, her foot riding his head to floor and knocking a second man out. Two men charged Itsu and started to swing their weapons, her increased speed making her able to outpace the men even more than she already could. She let blades rush at her, effortlessly dodging each blade, letting them get close to cutting her every time. Her foot shot out, catching a man in the jaw, suddenly she appeared to that man's side and slammed her fist into the man's kidney. His eyes bugged out of his head as he fell to the floor and passed out from the pain. Her left leg came up and her right leg spun her around to allow her foot to slam into the neck of her other attacker, flipping him over her heel and dropping the man with a rapid strike. She stopped to look at her handy work while the remaining thugs looked on in shock, clearly going after the wrong person. "Five of the seven of you can't fight anymore. Are you sure you really want to keep attacking me?" Itsu asked with a giggle in her voice.

The two final men standing opposite of Itsu looked at one another and tossed their weapons aside. One man waved his hand and started to conjure fire in his palms, letting the flames get larger with every passing second while the other man rushed Itsu to try to keep her busy. The beauty ducked and dodged six strikes before vanishing and appearing between the two men. She took a deep breath and exhaled towards the fire wizard. "Ghost touch!" Her voice echoed out and slammed into the fire wizard, blowing him out of the alley and knocking him out cold the moment he slammed through a glass window. Itsu twisted around and vanished one last time before appearing next to the man that was still standing. Her head slammed into the man's face and he dropped, leaving only the man with the broken shoulder to witness what had happened. "Okay, you have a great day, bai!" Itsu sang and skipped past the men, leaving the gang to regret trying to come at the beautiful woman like she was weak prey. "Hmm I wonder how Mashyuu is doing right now?" Itsu wondered aloud and started to head back towards the stables, excited to offer some help and tell about her fight that she managed to handle by herself.

Back at the stable, Mashyuu had managed to shovel his way to the door and pushed the door open, letting the stinky air slowly float outside. He looked over and saw a large pit of dirt and grinned. "Okay, this isn't so hopeless now." Mashyuu chimed while looking back at the crap on the ground. He reached around the door way and grabbed a trash can, dragging it into the stables and opened the lid. The shovel hit the ground and dug into the horse droppings, scraping the ground until Mashyuu flung the crap into the near by trash can. The can rang loudly with the thump of heavy droppings. Again Mashyuu flung a shovel of droppings into the can until the can was filled and one corner of the stable was clean of dung. Mashyuu dragged the can outside and dumped it in the dirt. With a hand on his hip he waved his free hand and allowed the ground to swallow the droppings to kill the smell. "Well that takes care of half a quarter of the crap." Mashyuu dragged the can back to the stables and went at it again. Three trips later and the ground could once again be seen.

The Wizard unraveled the hose and twisted the nozzle, water pumping through the hose and sprayed the ground. He washed the floor, pushing any residue out of the building and making mud by the back door of the stable. He stood in the center of the room and focused on the earth, causing it to shift just a bit and absorb the water, drying the floor and making it sparkle. He jogged over to the ladder and climbed up the wooden structure, kicking the hey down off the rafters and onto the ground. Mashyuu moved down the ladder and grabbed the massive pitch fork, and started to spread it evenly on the ground. After about an hour Mashyuu had the place looking beautiful and new. He ran his forearm over his head and wiped away a sheen of sweat from his face.

As he finished up and stood, looking over his handy work, Itsu came into the stables and looked around. "Hello Mashyuu, lookin good in here." Itsu giggled and whistled at the Wizard. "I beat up a gang today." She chimed in while walking to his side. Mashyuu smirked and pulled his gi on and stepped inside. "Hey buddy, it's all good in there." Mashyuu told the clerk, and the man clapped his hands. "Splendid!" The clerk came over and handed over a bag of jewels, to Mashyuu. The earth wizard smiled in thanks and the two Sabertooth mages walked out of the hotel, a job well done.
