Break up the Rally

Janet would Smile as sat under a tree waiting for the team that she had sent summoned. she would be right outside the River Village where a group Rune Knights were having a rally to promote there guild. Janet would smile as she did a detailed charcoal drawing of the village in its entirety at least from the perspective that she had, should be using her claw mix with charcoal to add detail as she waited. She had sent out for one of there newer members named Seika, while she didn't know much about her but she did know there was only one way to find out was to test her, plus what kind of guild master would she be if she didn't. Then there as Faustien, a man who seemed more interested in his research, however Janet hadn't seen him in action quite yet and wanted to see what he could do as well. A few squads of Ruin Knights should be no real threat but then again she didn't know what they could do so maybe they would be a threat either way any chance she had to shut down. As she would watch more and more people go to miss rally that they were having she will give a warm and inviting Smile as she would start to finish up her drawing probably she would quickly looking as she would start to sense someone coming in her Direction can we continue her drawing but was a bit more alert in case it wasn't one of the four guildmates that she was waiting for, though she wasn't afraid of what was coming her way she was more Curious than anything, after all today if she didn't have her put up or her clothes on at all for Dragon features were probably on display, didn't feel the need for the post anymore unless he was going into a Mass area, she didn't fear showing off who she truly was anymore now that she had a family that accepted her for who she was. To her that meant more than anything right now so she would gladly take the risk of being exposed, besides that the weather was also very nice the wind against her scales. Nonetheless she would look up to see who the figure was as they would have make their approach. She hoped it was one of the two that she had someone today so they could get this started has she finished her drawing.

Already the day seemed to be a beautiful one, since there wasn't a single cloud to be seen, and it was in fact quite sunny and pleasantly warm. Seika skipped around the forest cheerfully. She had absolutely no clue where she was or where she was going; the girl only knew where she was meant to go, the final location: River Village.

Seika continued on like that for a while, just meandering through the woods until she happened across a friendly looking woodchopper outside next to what she guessed was his cabin home. "Excuse me sir! Hi, I'm lost. I'm looking for River Village? I just came from Terra Ignis, I heard it was in this direction so I've just been wandering around ever since losing my map..." she laughed sheepishly and put a hand to the back of her neck, scratching it absentmindedly.

The man was happy to direct her to continue heading north until she got out of Lycan Woods and saw a road; apparently, this route would take her directly to River Village. Boy was she lucky that it was on a mainish road! Seika gratefully thanked the man and then went on her way; it was still fairly early in the morning, so she guessed she could arrive there in the afternoon. After a few more hours of walking, the peachy haired girl finally saw what seemed to be a settlement a little bit away from the side of the road, branching off by a skinnier path. With a shrug, Seika followed it until the little village came more clearly into view. Before entering, she paused at the side of the way to bend down and pick some white and pink blotched flowers that were growing there. Smiling, she turned to enter the village when she noticed a woman sitting under a tree.

Squinting at the figure a little more closely revealed what looked to be a dragon's tail and features on her; any doubt was cast away by her excitement at the idea of finally meeting the guild master! She hurried over, her sweater flapping in the gentle wind. "Oh my gosh, hello! I'm Taneda Akies, but, most people just call me Seika! Are you... are you the real Janet Cinderfield? I've heard so much about you, you're so pretty! And I love your drawing! Woah, you're so good at drawing~"

It had been some time since he joined the dark guild Elysium, done his guild intro, went on that chupacabra slaying job, worked with a certain female phantom thief who happened to be part of Elysium as well, and helps to exorcise a certain backwater, superstitious village of their demons and spirits. Since then, as per usual, Faustein had been swamped with a larger than ever workload at his profession as a magical physician-scientist (a mad one, that is) as well as his many recent research projects. However, eventually, his schedule had started to clear up and just in time too for a notice had come from none other than the far-famed Elysium guild leader herself, one "Ms. Janet Cinderfeild".

A disruption mission, eh? The target is a group of Rune Knights as well, I see. The destination is River Village. Alright, I have analyzed and memorized it. This looks quite amusing, to be fair.

Faustein mused silently in this manner as he let his hauntingly bright, crimson red eyes peruse the job flyer. Once that was done, he readied himself, donning his usual work outfit aka his physician-scientist's outfit and then gathered all the tools of his trade in the tactical utility belt he was in the habit of wearing around his waist. Then, he put on his recently purchased polarized lens bearing smart holographic glasses known as "SHG-IV" on his face to obscure his eyes from view, strapped the spacetime chronometer called "IIC" which was also a recent purchase to his left wrist, and set the rest of his magic items in their respective slots on his belt. Of course, he had no other armor since his entire magical physician-scientist's outfit itself was a magical armor so this swaddled his entire body. Lastly, there was the Ancient Vampire's heart which he had cyberized and installed in place of his own human heart some time ago after the chupacabra slaying job. So this was the only piece of equipment which was not seen externally. Now that he was ready, he used his space-time chronometer to move himself directly from his house in Magnolia to River Village. As a result, he landed softly on the ground there near one of the trees and then walked strode over to where his guild leader was waiting for him, ensuring not to make too much sound which could give away their rendezvous spot to the Rune Knights

"Greetings, Ms. Cinderfeild. Stein, reporting for today's mission."

He said with his usual smirk planted on his thin but firm lips, revealing his voice to be a rich baritone but somehow still melodious one with a subtle hint of the linguisitic accents from Midi and Iceberg. He even threw in a brief salute to her for good measure. Then, he turned to the young woman beside her who had apparently shown up just before he did and greeted her as well

"Greetings to you as well, Ms. Seika. I presume you're the much talked about newest member of the guild."

He gave a brief wave to her and then fell silent, wondering what they would do and say in response.

as the small girl approached Janet she looked a little bit surprised to see this what is the newest recruit had. Though before she could say anything the small girl would earn her any Fame in a good way, perhaps it was the fame of Elysium either way she would give a smile go get a bit embarrassed telling her Sketchbook quickly but unable to talk to smile even more as she took her Dragon claw which company has some hair out of her Golden Dragon Eye. "T Thank you so much, Seika…" Janet would have to pause for a second to compose herself not being ready for someone calling her pretty and being Amazed by her she couldn't help but feel like a little bit of a celebrity now letting out the small giggle, he was a bit of a sucker for compliments especially when it came to a part of her however she took a deep breath but still with a warm inviting smile continue get to speak " you must be the newest guild member that I've been hearing so much about, I look forward to seeing what you can do for myself" she spoke with a superior but warm tone not wanting to come off as rude as someone else came forward.

A man that Janet knew more of cam forward greeting them both, Janet wanting to show some respect nodded at him still with a smile "Hello Dr. Stein, thank you for joining g me today." she said repeating him and his research as she looked between them. "So you both know each other hm, great this will.make things much easier, I'm glad our family is getting along!" she said smiling like a parent would before standing up looking down at them both. She would dust off her dress as she gave a nod to him and then to her as well a warm Smile as she looked towards the small village where the Gathering was.

" thank you both for coming today, while this is a matter I could handle myself I figure they would be good too see what you can offer and what you can do, this Gathering today is more then just a call to arms for the Rine Knights, they also have a V.I.P target in that building I need to get to…. So our mission today is I need you guys to distract and or get rid of these Rune Knights so I can get to my target." she would pause smiling a bit looking between them both deciding to add a sponge to this. "Furthermore you both will be taking lead, tell me what to do and I'll follow...I want to see what you both can do."

She smiled now stepping down as Leader of this job, giving a small smile but giving the air that she was now judging them.both and not to disappoint her today. She was curious about there next move, would they work together on this or fight to impress her or perhaps somewhere in between. Janet would smile happily looking between them both for the first to speak up and suggest what to do, the next move was theirs and Janet was vastly curious what they would do the get the job done, and was curious how far they would go as well.

"You are super welcome, Janet!" She clapped her hands enthusiastically, more than excited to be able to not only talk to the real Janet Cinderfield but also go on a mission with her?? That was just... cooler than cool! Would it be called colder than cool? Pensively, she tapped a few fingers against her chin before putting the thought out of her head. There was no time to waste thinking, when she could be taking in the surreal situation surrounding herself right now! Beaming brightly enough to compete with the sun, the girl returned the other female's smile before clapping at her words, unable to restrain her energy. "Yay! I can't believe you heard about me! I am such a big fan, you're like, the most beautiful person ever. I won't let you down!" Adding a fist pump in the air for good measure, Seika's pink sweater flopped all around as she moved around, seemingly unable to stand still. Even when she did manage to stay in place for a few minutes, especially under the obviously leader like gaze of Janet, her arms and legs still vibrated as she bounced up and down in the one spot.

When someone suddenly said Ms. Cinderfield, Seika gasped audibly before whirling around. She saw what looked like a super cool guy! He was a mage, and had to be a member of Elysium, right? The girl returned his wave with a wide smile before saying, "Ehh?? The much talked about newest member? You're so cute!" People actually like, talked about her? What was this? It made no sense! But anyway, it seemed like it was time to pay attention now. Okay, so Janet was saying... ooh, his name was Doctor Stein? That was so fancy and cool! Aww, and she called them a family. That was sweet... wow, Seika loved this mission already. What were they even supposed to be doing again? She wasn't sure, but the mage had confidence that everything would be fine. They had Janet, after all. The wizard was legitimately, like, the coolest.

Following the other female's gaze in the direction of the interior of River Village, Seika craned her neck to try to understand exactly what she was supposed to be looking at. She let out an aaah sound of understanding when the woman said she figured it would be a nice way to kind of test the waters or whatever. Also, it seemed like there was a VIP involved? "Okay! We'll distract them! Let's goooo!" Bouncing around in the nearby vicinity, the girl felt impatient to begin the mission. It was better that they finished sooner than later because after all, hadn't she said something about them taking the lead? Well, Seika could do that! Or at least, try to! "Stein, Stein, let's go! Hurry up!" Seika said, regardless of wherever the other mage was at the moment. Even if he were ahead of her, she would dash over to the village, trying to keep pace with him whether that meant slowing her footsteps or rushing to catch up. After all, they were a team!

"What should we do first? Ooh, there's plushies!" Over near the side of the path inside of the village itself, was a little peddler's stand. Displayed was a variety of clothing as well as a few stuffed dolls and toys. Among them were some cuddly looking cats and dogs. "I want one of them! Oh, but... I don't have any money," the mage sighed dramatically, throwing her hands up in the air as she flopped around. "Oh, but wait! My mommy does! But... oh, I don't have a mommy, either," Seika let her body fall back onto the dusty road with a slight oomph. A carriage coming up nearly ran her over, before managing to halt the horses just in time. Shouting came from inside, but the girl paid no attention to it, all the way up until a man dismounted out of the vehicle and stormed up to her. "Little girl! You can't just stay in the middle of the street like that!" He made a movement to grab her arm, but Seika jerked away as though she had been stung. "Oh my gosh! You're so mean! Aaaaahhh!" Her screams attracted the attention of a few nearby Rune Knights, who turned and began to focus on the scene. "I bet you're so mean, you took my mommy!" Concernedly exchanging a few glances with each other, one of the law enforcement members stepped away from their post and approached the two, Seika and the stranger, a doubtful expression on his face.

"Target: V.I.P protected by the Rune Knights. Objective: Distraction and Disposal of Rune Knight protectors in vicinity. Understood. Query: Is there any data in your possession regarding our enemies and/or target besides the already stated information?"

He nodded to her and after asking her for more information, he had fallen silent with the intent to wait for Janet's reply, but apparently Seika had other ideas and so had bounded off like a rather eager beaver towards the town wherein the operation was to take place, all the while urging him to move faster and faster.

Great Scott! This girl is a ball of boundless energy indeed. How tiresome...

He mused silently as he moved to catch up with her, but still did not alter his speed, but rather the length of his stride, which was of course, fairly simple thanks to one of his magic's unique abilities which he liked to call "Forbidden Physician's Ability: Malleable Physique" since it allowed him to extend his lower limbs far enough (i.e. all the way from where they had met Janet to the gateway of the town[/b]) that even though Seika was already nearing the town, he had caught up with her in mere moments. After that, he had simply followed along in step with her and silently observed her bouncing about like a kid in a candy store on Christmas Eve as she went hither and thither, taking in all the sights.

This is going to be one exhausting mission if this girl will be this excitable throughout this affair. What a drag…

He mused silently and sighed in exasperation before suggesting to her

“Do you not think we ought to at least attempt to gather data on…”

However, she was clearly not listening and had even gone so far as to be almost run over as she was standing in the middle of the town’s street, so he trailed off and fell silent again as he watched Seika being accosted and scolded by a man who stepped out of the carriage which had nearly run her over earlier. As he watched, her actions had drawn the attention of one of the Rune Knights who had then come over with a suspicious look on his face.

Well, it is a promising start, but perhaps it needs a catalyst of sorts and this could double as an experimental test of the efficacy of my visual hypnosis ability as well

Faustein mused silently and then, according to his plan, he nonchalantly swept his head about as though he was taking in the sights and sounds in the vicinity, but while he was putting up this façade of curiosity, he also activated one of his bloodline’s special abilities, namely one he liked to refer to as the “King’s Eye: Hypnotic Gaze”. As a result, those among the passersby upon whom his gaze had fallen now started to congregate around Seika and the stranger who was reprimanding her and had started to tug at and quarrel with him. This of course caused the Rune Knight present to summon a few more of his compatriots stationed near the V.I.P’s residence to step away to quell the disputes and slowly rising chaos in the town street. As a result, there were far fewer Rune Knights now stationed at the aforementioned residence and so, this was Janet’s chance to attempt an infiltration while his ability was still controlling the actions of the now rowdy populace of the town. Of course, none present except perhaps Seika and Janet if she had arrived there, could realize what he had done to the passersby who were now quarreling with the man lecturing Seika and some even having brawls with each other. Meanwhile, Faustein simply stood back and watched to see what would happen in response and also what Seika and/or Janet would do going forward. All the same, even though he was not at all worried, just to forestall any unforeseen circumstances, he kept his smart holographic glasses, aka SHG-IV, and his spacetime warping chronometer, aka IIC, at the ready along with the rest of the tools in his utility belt so that he could respond at a moment's notice to anything and anyone that came at him.

Janet would smile at her eagerness and watch her run forward into the River Village as she would conquer had watching wondering what she was going to be up to you and look over at Faust who had a tired expression on his face already Janet will take only a moment or two to evaluate the two of them as she just gave a small smile muttering towards a good luck under her breath. how she would look forward from under the tree line the Shadows of the tree would slowly reach up around her consuming her as she would give a small smile and then suddenly disappear from next to her guildmates sight, not wanting her to influence their decisions she would leave. She would reappear near a stall that she was hiding behind for the moment. As she looked over to see Seika distracting a group of the knights giving a small smile, she knew Faust was watching over her so she had nothing to fear..beside Seika was capable in her own rights. with that being said she would slip away deeper into the town's going between Shadows I swear it closer to the main building where the VIP was being held insecure. and she would get to the building thanks to the distraction I was being made for her and the opening that was being provided she would look around briefly as one form of the Guard turn the corner and looked at her the eyes of meat for only second has his own shadow will come up and stab through his body and then up around into his neck to kill him instantly before swallowing him and working him to a different Shadow nearby. should we give a small side hoping but that wouldn't fight her later but for now she had to get inside as she would slowly and cautiously start to look around for a way inside wondering how they were doing but considering there were no Rune Knights coming her way She wasn't too worried as she would eventually find an entrance that would be used for the guards. she would slip inside the main building but see there was still quite a few nuisances in her way to the VIP. she would stay hidden for now as she ducked behind a crate keeping quiet making sure none of her dragon limbs stuck out, while she could kill them all and continue on with her life and move forward in her Endeavors to kill said VIP she figured she give it a moment after all that she could stay undetected any longer than she hi to everybody, so she would wait to see what her guildmates would you if she could have them draw any more attention... we should only wait for a moment able to sense their power nearby she gave a small smile trusting them to get what she asked done done devil was ready to use the Shadows if necessary.

Seika was just having a wonderful time chilling on the ground while this man was yelling at her and being a whole meanie. Suddenly, she was surprised when another shadow loomed over her, and then another. And another. As it turned out, several of the other civilians living in River Village had conglomerated around the two of them in the road. They seemed to be down to fight with the stranger who had owned the carriage, throwing nasty words and insults. Seika was surprised by their defense of her, but she guessed maybe they just wanted to throw hands for some other reason. Still, she was enthralled by their staunch words aimed to protect her. The Rune Knight from before who had begun to head over managed to make it there, and pulled a few of his buddies with him. Seika wasn't sure what to do next. Maybe, they could go shopping now! For those plushies. There were still some in the shop over there. She ran towards the location, smiling as she slammed open the door and peered inside. There were lots of pretty dolls and cute toys. The girl sprinted over to the nearest shelf and grabbed at one of the soft looking animals, cuddling it close to her. Suddenly, a voice came from behind her. "Hey! No touching! Those are for display only!"

Dropping it in shock, Seika turned around to see the store owner glaring at her angrily. Gulping, she left the business, letting the door swing behind her. Little did she know that in her anxiety, her fingers had let off little sparks that caught fire onto the stuffed animal and were quickly spreading to the floor boards, the walls, the merchandise, the everything. Outside, she felt ready to burst into tears. Why were people so mean?? There was absolutely no reason sometimes. Scrunching up her eyes so that tears wouldn't fall, she turned away. Stomping back to the center of the town, Seika let her body drop back onto the ground with a loud oomph. It hurt a little bit, but she just felt like lying there for a while. Meanwhile, the flames continued to spread, magically induced and unable to be stopped by normal means like water or smothering. Soon enough, they began to reach the buildings nearby, and consume those as well.

Post: 769 | Seika: 1,555 | Kuro: 1,230 | Janet: 1,478 | Total: 4,263

So far things seemed to be going well for their group, well as far as Faustein could deduce from his analysis of the situation anyway. Janet had given them a small smile and then proceeded to vanish from sight, presumably to go after that VIP she had mentioned as being the target for this job.

Hmm, what should these puppets of mine be made to do next?

He wondered silently and meanwhile noticed how Seika had wandered off to look at and pick up some plush toys displayed at a nearby establishment, only to be scolded by the owner for not abiding by the rules of the establishment regarding their merchandise. Then, as he watched, she ran away and then collapsed nearby while the store she had been at as well as the buildings next to it caught fire which seemed to be magical in origin, if the data he saw coming up on his smart holographic glasses was accurate. The sight of the quickly spreading fire drew the last remaining of the Rune Knights and other guards near the VIP's residence to the site and they as well as the Rune Knights already on scene tried their best to control and extinguish the flames. However, their reacquisition of control over the situation was not going to benefit Faustein, Janet, and Seika

Maybe it is time for the Rune Knights to come under greater fire from those that they have sworn to serve and protect with their lives. It will be intriguing to see how they handle that.

With that in mind, Faustein increased the mana he was investing to power his "King’s Eye: Hypnotic Gaze” lineage ability and widened its scope to include all the civilian people within his visual range. Then he issued the mental command for them to follow

Attack the Rune Knights in the area. They have been sent on a secret mission to destroy you and your precious loved ones.

In responses, his eyes glowed far brighter and with a more sinister aura briefly to cast the spell and then powered down to avoid detection. This ability he used and the hypnotic command he placed in their minds caused the civilians in the area to swarm and attack the small group of Rune Knights and other guards who were busy trying to extinguish the conflagration that had been spreading through the area. As this effect would last a while, Faustein chose a nice, comfortable spot and sat down while observing the chaos that ensued in the aftermath of his magic usage and even ordered some cold coffee from a nearby vendor to help pass the time and stave off his sleep deprived state of mind.

Janet we continue sneak into the compound, she was making sure to stay quite in her approach where is quiet as a half dragon woman could be. She didn't I know exactly what's happening outside but there is certainly Less on the guard cousins on the inside. So whatever they were doing it was certainly working however it didn't stop there from being one less obstacle she hidden behind something. She found the door to the main Corridor where the VIP was more than likely at his sent to getting stronger she could tell yes he was behind that door over there also two guards guarding it. Two guards that she would have to quietly take down somehow. Stealth kills whenever her specialty she was a Brute Force fighter she tackled her problems head-on stuck to the Shadows we needed, normally she has Shadows going find them or slit their throats but it turns out their armor was protecting their vital points, which was an annoyance because it would make it harder for the Shadows to get in quickly and quietly. Thinking about it for a moment the other arm would start to turn black with scales and she decided what to do it wouldn't be pleasant for them and probably actually kill them but who is she to shy away from death. And was that she'd be gone disappearing into the Shadows to teleport right in between them quickly reaching around both of them and grabbing them covering their mouth in wedding poison seep into them forcing them to ingest poison in muffle the screen oh, the poison will start to shut down those systems should give them a lethal dose though there was a chance they would survive it wasn't hired or likely if they didn't get help. No that was none of her concern her concerns that I was taking out the VIP Target oh, what happened to these two was inconsequential. As a eventually would struggle unable to scream for help and unable to resist her Dragon like strength they would eventually start to fall and stop struggling going limp in her arms. She was slowly lower them to the floor and turn her attention to the door using her better off hearing to listen to. And what she heard was definitely the VIP she was looking for however she also heard a lot more people as if they were having a committee meeting of some sort which means more guards would be in there. I couldn't help but wonder if her Guild can do anything about this and pull them away a little more for her, just a little bit if not she could fight them all. It would definitely be annoying but she had no problem with this. What's that in mind should wait a little longer to see if her Guild could try to cause a bit more Ruckus or any sort of distraction. Worst case they did and she let herself best case they could, so she waited and starting to move the bodies out of sight just in case someone came.

While her flames were busy devouring everything in their path, Seika took a moment to relocate herself to a nice spot of shade near Stein. "Hey, hey! You're getting coffee? I want some too!" She waved enthusiastically to the vendor in the hopes of being noticed. The man appeared to be terrified of the duo, although that was probably more because of the situation of fire and people attacking the Rune Knights, right? There was no way he would be scared of the mages themselves, right?

Nodding to herself, Seika gave her best and brightest smile at him. "Can I have some cold chocolate, please?" In return, she received a slightly panicked expression. "Oh, are you out of hot chocolate?" In regards to this question of hers, the man immediately shook his head rapidly. Well, then! That was confusing! So he wasn't out of hot chocolate, but yet he couldn't make her any cold chocolate. Weird. The girl flapped her hands at him in a lack of understanding, and he jerked away immediately. Well, whatever. Guess she would just watch Stein drink his coffee. Pouting, Seika decided to turn her attention elsewhere. In the end, they were here on a mission to help their fearless leader Janet Cinderfield. So really, she ought to go continue helping!

The young mage reached into her pocket and pulled out a small disposable camera. Perhaps she could start taking pictures of the scenery and then print them out and paste them into a little scrap book of memories for Janet! That would definitely improve the woman's spirits and give her a kind of record of their adventures so far. And maybe she could consider what they had already done and what ideas would be useful in the future. Beaming happily at the prospect, Seika dashed over to the nearest group of fighting people. "Okay, you guys look great! Wait, this back drop is kind of plain. Maybe we need more bubbles?" It had to look absolutely perfect for Janet. And she wasn't going to let down Stein, either! Snapping her fingers, Seika formed an enormous bubble at her finger tips that exploded into a shower of seething foam that burned the skin of whoever touched it. The rest floated up into the air, fizzing excitedly and letting off beautiful sparkles.

"Yay! The only thing that would make this better would be, um... ooh, maybe if we use the fire?" She stepped over to a nearby burning building and concentrated for a moment, pulling the flames into the shape of an enormous cat. A true predator, the fiery feline roared and pounced on a nearby Rune Knight. At random intervals, the rippling fire that made up its pelt lashed out, creating a circle of danger around the tiger-lookin lion creation. "I'm going to name you Anna! Good Anna! You're the cutest!" She clapped her hands and praised the oversized cat from the sidelines as it pranced around, spewing flames.

Faustein had been thoroughly enjoying one of his innumerable guilty pleasures, namely cold coffee, when he saw one of his two his mission teammates, who also happened to be his guild mate, aka Ran, stride up to his location and plop herself down next to him and start chirping in her usual cheery manner, remarking about his coffee and then talking about getting herself some.

She must have a rather potent origin to have these nigh boundless energy levels...or maybe it's just her little quirk...regardless, she is certainly entertaining to behold...

Faustein mused silently with his usual amused, smug smirk on his thin, cyanotic lips as he watched Ran accost the vendor selling the hot chocolate and cold coffee and terrify as well as send him into a panic. Then, he watched as she took pictures of everything and everyone around her and even summon one of her spirits to attack the already beleaguered crowd, many of whom were still fighting, despite his mind control spell having worn off a while back. As he watched, he continued to sip his cold coffee slowly, almost at a turtle's pace and that was when he noticed a trio of people trying to get away from Ran's flame spirit and heading in the direction of the Rune Knights.

Oh no, this will not do at all...how very uncouth of you to leave this soiree...

Faustein mused silently this again as he surreptitiously activated his "Mana Threads" spell and then nonchalantly wriggled the fingers of his one free hand, to all apearances, simply doing seemingly innocuous finger exercises with his free hand when in reality, he was maneuvering the currently invisible threads of condensed mana to slither towards the trio and wrap around their necks like hangman's nooses. Then, he jerked his fingers toward himself as his hand still lay in his lap, apparently going through the finger exercises, and this caused the invisible mana  threads to reel in swiftly and yanked the three escapees harshly toward the ground near Ran's fire spirit for it to do with as it pleased then. The three struggled as if they were being choked by an invisible trio of hands but no sign of anything even wrapping around their necks could be seen, of course. However, their struggling only hurt them more and more with every passing moment, and all the while Faustein had a seemingly blithe and oblivious look on his face as he continued to sip his coffee without even so much as batting an eye at the loud thud the three made when they crash landed near Ran's spirit. In this manner, Faustein continued to watch the goings on in the situation around him silently with Ran sitting somewhere near him.

Janet would see her target This is the doors as she looked inside of them glancing around the room at all the guards come off with the element of private takeout as many as she could have one veil swoop, the more she could do it more that she could get done one go without having to certainly do extra work that she minded doing the extra work however The more she would save the better color her guild was outside doing their jobs and I was time for her to do hers. Thinking about a person she would then get an idea that would surely not only catch them off guard but give her the advantage she needed period she backed up she took a deep breath and then with a running start not carrying how loud her puts us where she would cover her arms and her black skill is her foreign would grow her tailed get larger as a other loud roar and gold as she started to morph and transform into which gigantic dragon period made transformation as she grew in size until the scaly beast, She let out a large lower and crash through the doorway hitting many people as a large dragon came barreling throughout of nowhere her mouth open wide as she saw the VIP aiming for him chomping him up in one fails who flying by period. They never had a chance to respond even if they wanted to. To anyone outside, all they would view as a rumble and here loud yell. Screams of fear and surprise as Janet them sounds the building the VIP still limp in her mouth crust dead as she looked around seeing everyone surprised dropping his mangled corpse the ground she let out a large roar inside her way towards any of her guild mates letting down one wing so they can climb aboard so they can leave. If anyone got close to her or them they would feel that they asked him a dragon to lead today. They would feel Janet's Wrath.

Faustein had been thoroughly enjoying tormenting the hapless populace in the area where he was currently sitting and having yet another cup of strong, cold coffee to fuel himself up for the road when he heard a terrible yell issue forth from the residence wherein the VIP that he, Janet, and Seika had come to hunt that day was staying currently

Oh my, looks like this soiree has just about reached its conclusion...Finally, it is time to head home...

Musing thus silently, he finished the rest of the 3/4ths cup of cold coffee in his hand by taking one inhumanly long and swift draught and after throwing it away, he called out to Seika who was nearby, amplifying his voice so she could hear due to the distance between them

"It would seem that our mission here is complete and Janet is beckoning us to her so we can all leave together, so please hop to it."

With that said, he arose from his seat and then headed off to the VIP's residence unimpeded by anyone and climbed atop Janet's dragon form, having completed his job here and looking forward to a nice, long rest since he was about to embark on a rather difficult research project in the next few days.
