[September 18, 2020. 1627 GMT.] [Kahlya gets a rather forceful mental summons from Terrance: "I need you here, something may be up, I've set up a circle." The quickest way to get their for her would be to hop home for a minute than hop back with his summons. Up to her if she does that.] [Start] (So how would the dimensional hop thing work if she did that exactly? ^^;) (Essentially she hops "home", and feels and answers his summons. * Kahlya perks up at the summons, not looking too entirely pleased, but she does it all the same, taking a hop back home and then reappearing within the circle. She looks a little better but still has freezer burn from the ice as she holds her scythe in front of her. She pouts, trying to look more cute than annoyed. "Did you really have to set up this circle?" * Kahlya then gets a bashed in and a bit fearful look. "I-if this is about that last mission, I can explain! The chunnel was like that when I got there! Really!" * Terrance isn't in the London apartment at the moment, he's in a more rustic looking dorm room, currently has the door barricaded and you note there's two pairs of bunk beds . * Kahlya blinks and finally looks around. "You've changed the place, Master..new look?" * Kahlya leans on her scythe, a little worried that she's the one that's been doing all the talking so far.. * Terrance for the record is looking a tad nervous. "I'm at school now. Yes, the circle is necesarry, and that's a really weak lie." (afk for a minute) * Kahlya pouts. "But...but..." She clutches her scythe closer. "Okay, but I didn't expect him to freeze the whole *car*" * Kahlya then tilts her head to the side. "School? Ooo, I didn't know you went to school, Master." She perks up suddenly, smiling brightly. "We could be classmates then!" (And that's the extent of her motormouth ^^;) Well, suffice to say I was hoping for more bragging rights, did you get a trophy? Oh! Yes! Yes! * Kahlya searches her clothes. First the right side, then the left. "I know they're somewhere around here...Here!" She pulls out a few pieces of reddish colored rock out of various folds in her clothing and holds them out. I wanted to get the head but it didn't exactly stay together properly... Oh, and keep your voice down, I don't think I don't think Menace is around, but I particularly don't want to risk it... Rocks? You got rocks... Well.. hopefully they have magical traces at least. * Kahlya pouts and manages to attempt looking insulted. "They're not just rocks....I almost got smashed by these rocks for you, Master." * Terrance nods and finds a bag which he carefully puts into the circle without ever really putting his hand in. "Well, alright... Let me see to your healing anyways. But I called you hear because apparently there's SAB agents at my school! You know anything about this?" * Kahlya blinks and looks up. "Wha--" She snaps her fingers. "Oh! That must be what that mission was about! I had no idea it was *your* school though." ( Note to self, switch Terrance to Terrence ) (^^;) * Terrence looks at Kahlya quizically. He also takes out a wand and points it at her wounds. Wait. They're here? Like here now here? Well, not right here, but in the school somewhere. I haven't seen them, just heard rumors. Mmmm....any idea what they look like? Two women, suits and shades, I've herad there's a hot redhead and the other is more ordinary looking. Huh. Well one of them's probably Red. Can't place the other one... * Kahlya starts pacing, thinking. So is this about me? Have they asked you anything yet? I couldn't imagine it being that...it's pretty hush-hush... But I haven't had any indication that they suspect me yet...not even that sanbi really...I think he might be a problem... * Terrence blinks. "Sanbi? Uh.. that's a japanese spirit, right?" * Kahlya claps her hands together happily. "Ooo, I knew you were smart, Master! Yes. Three tails. A kitsune. He agreed to help me gather info...but I don't know if there's a way to deal with him directly..." But so far I think he sees me as a friend. I've been reaaaally careful. * Terrence nods, he looks calmer. He also waves his wand at her wounds and chants "Ferula." Kahlya's remaining wounds quickly are covered in bandages. They don't heal instantly but they do start to feel a little better. * Kahlya looks at her wounds and then smiles at Terrence. "I could kiss you." * Terrence grins and blushes slightly and then takes a moment to flip open a book he left lying on a nearby chest. "I, uh, that would probably not be a good idea." Oh Master! Such thoughts...I didn't know you had it in you! * Terrence eyes Kahlya slightly and mumbles something which Kahlya's extrordinary hearing easily picks up. "Demons love using flattery, watch for it." He then speaks up a little and tries to put some force in his voice. "So, are you content in my service? Are the missions I've given you satisfying?" [He keeps the book handy but somewhat obscured by the school robes.] * Kahlya grins and puts her finger in her mouth demurely. "So suspicious. It's not very becoming of you, Master..." * Terrence looks down for a moment and then back at Kahlya. "You'd prefer a naive master?" Of *course* not, Master! It's an honor to serve someone as brilliant and open and helpful as you... * Terrence blushes again but after a moment he smirks slightly. "Now you're laying it on a little thick. But you haven't answered my question, do you want more from your missions? Consider it a chance to advise me." But... I don't know...hmm... Have you researched anything on dimensional familiarity? * Kahlya then looks at him concerned. "You're hiding something, Master. What is it you wish me to do?" * Terrence looks a tad put off but then smirks slightly. "How'd you like to do something old school demonic?" * Kahlya tilts her head to the side, not fully comprehending, or at least making a show of it. "Old school?" * Terrencee waves his hands slightly as he talks. "You know, classic, damnation, terrible choices, turning true love into a weapon against someone, that sort of thing." Well...uh...but I thought you wanted more subtlety in the missions that you were placing me on...at least for now.. * Terrence nods. "If we do this right, the only people who know it'll be you will be the ones we're trying to impress." Okay...um...what did you have in mind? * Kahlya looks a tad nervous. It's a definite change in her master's behavior. If you feel up to it, I'd like you to find out about some of a coworker's enemies and arrange a trap, a rather nasty one." He then looks at her with a slightly worried epression. "Would you be up for that?" Who did you have in mind...? Saki Mori... ::he stops to look at a piece of paper in his pocket. Morikawa. Hmm...I don't recall working with her all that much... Does SAB keep any records you could check? I could look into it...why do you want to take her out though? * Terrence grins slightly. "Let's just say I've been offered a nice one time deal by someone who wants to keep his hands clean. I'll get more specifics if we can find her enemies." Well, I'll see what I can find out...but you know, Master, it won't be easy without asking people...and if I ask people, they could get awfully suspicious...I didn't exactly join with the most open of records myself... My source thinks they might have revealed themselves at some fight over a champion. Like that girl there's going to be the tournament over, but not exactly. He seems to think we can handle it, but if this is out of your league... Oh the tournament! So...you think they'll be there? Maybe, see what you can find out about that past fight and maybe you can find more at the tournament itself. ::he then looks slightly whistful:: Wish I could go, but.. well, maybe see if you can score some free special guest convention badges from the SMEE people. * Kahlya grins. "Now THAT I can do..." I heard she's pretty hard against people like me...but I'm sure once she meets me, she'll be okay! * Terrence smiles. "Glad to hear it. I'll see if I can get any more stuff from my source. If you knew enough would you feel comofortable making a deal and setting a trap? Well, I'd want to know this Saki Morikawa better first, wouldn't you? I mean if we fail and she comes after us, it'd be best to know who you're going up against, wouldn't it? * Terrence looks thoughtful and nods. "That's true. Probably best to get the information firsthand." We can only hope that she's participating in the tournament as well then, right? * Terrencec shrugs. "I don't think we can count on that." * Kahlya pouts. "Well, I can see if I can talk to her...find out what she can do.." * Terrence frowns slightly. I suppose. () * Kahlya waves her hands frantically. "Wait, Master. I'll figure it out. You'll see!" She smiles and thumps the tip of her scythe down on the floor. "You just leave everything to Kahlya, you'll see." * Terrences perks up slightly. "Alright on your way then, don't forget about those passes if you can." He then frowns slightly. "And if you think we're in over our heads later, tell me, I don't want to disappoint him." * Kahlya hmms and turns her head to the side. "They're just real cautious about information...I could ask Miles more...I haven't been on many missions just yet, they need to get to trust me better before they'll really spill the beans." * Kahlya does a big sweeping bow. "Of course...I'll make you proud, Master." * Terrence nods and smiles. "Good then. I should probably get going." He glances at the book again. "And, thanks for the r-, trophy." * Kahlya pouts. "It's not a rock..." * Terrences nods, checks a different book, and waves his wand at the rocks. "Priori incantum." He sorta watches the rock for a moment after that. * Kahlya sighs and holds her hand out. "Here..." Smoke swirls around her hand as she creates a clay replica of the rock monster in it. * Terrence gestures to the bag by the edge of the circle but looks pleased. "Neat!" * Kahlya holds it out and opens her eyes. "See? Not just a rock." She holds out the figurine for inspection. NOW what do you think, Master? (Err, actually his comment should come in response to that) (Okay then!) * Kahlya grins, then puts her hands together again. "I'm so pleased that you like it!" She sets the figurine in the bag." [End!]
