Lucy's Crossing

Blut wanders the streets the citizens of larket murmuring whispers left and right about the recent case with Kelovath some stand by the man some stand against. Blut was assigned to find a illusionist very possibly a fermin so he waited for the crowd to die out as the moon took rise to enter the sewers due to the fact that ferminvile was underground this was necessary. Blut pulled out his dagger from his sleeve as he pried open a man hole and prepared to enter.

Orphyn was a strange sight to behold. Head to toe were were garbed in leather, the only bit of solor standing out being that crude yellow yellow smiley face she wore to conceal those youthful features. She was humming and skipping with a cloth sack slung over her shoulder. The sack seemed to be writing as if it contained something alive. Suddenly she burst into tune. "♫This little pixie went to maaaaaarket, This little pixie stayed hoooooome, ♫ This little pixie had roast beef..... This little pixie had noooooone,♫" Suddenly her tone shifted to showcase anger as she cried out- "AND THIS LITTLE PIXIE.." She swung the sack then into the side of a building with a thunderous CRACK. The writhing stopped. Crimson began to pool at the bottom of the bag. "...cried wee wee wee all the way home..." Coming to the realization that she might have swung a little too hard, Orphyn opened the sack and looked inside, a deep sigh released as she saw the mess. "Damn it. This won't do, this won't do at all!" With one quick spin, she used the momentum of another swing to pitch the bloody bag up and on top of a nearby rooftop, her gaze falling upon a lone stranger who has in the midst of opening a sewer. A skip and hop and she would bounce beside the other, curiosity asking, "Hiya! Whaaaatcha doin'?"

Blut sighed as he shook his head slowly getting up as he looked at his bizarre visitor. His crimson cloak concealed his crossbow whilst his hood hide his steel mask a faint crimson glow coming from his eyes. Blut considered removing the witness before shaking his head "I'm going to ferminvile any problems" Blut asked in a stern voice scanning the woman for weapons living in the underground Blut had become accustom to dealing with crazy people but this women may have just taken his cake.

Orphyn looked slightly confused. "Fur. Men. Ville?" she asked. Her head listed to the left quite slowly. "What's in Ferminville? I've never been! Is it where furry men live?!" Both hands tucked behind her back and she rocked upon her tip toes. "I don't see a problem! You go, I go, we all go where we want! hardly a problem! Unless guards say stay out. That could be a problem! Not always a problem, but sometimes a problem. You know, Glowy?" Glowy of course referring to his unique little trait. A nickname has been established!

Blut shook his head and figured that it would be better to let her come then waste time talking to her and much less time killing her and hideing the body. "Very well then you can come but under one condition your gonna stay by my side until we get there and your not to kill anyone" Blut demanded these conditions he was in no mood for trouble he gazed into her eyes if she refused his terms he would just cast a illusion on her making her stay put. "Do that and even if the guards say stay out we got no problems" Blut flicked his wrist and pulled out a candy stick that he got from Kelay and offered it to her as a sign of trust.

Orphyn looked around casually. "Kill anyone? Who? Me? I would never! Silly silly." There wasn't even a thank you or anything acknowledging appreciation as she snatched the candy from Blut's hand. She was a quick little bugger. "I just wanna see. I'll behave! Promise!" Before she would give him a chance to reply, she stepped up to the sewer and haphazardly dived feet first into the hole. No fear!

Larket Sewers

Blut shook his head as he stepped down the ladder sealing the lid so it seemed that none ever entered however it caused the room to be covered in complete darkness. Blut slid down the ladder stopping when he heard the sploosh of the waters beneath him he reached into his pocket pulling out a small crystal. He crushed it creating a small ball of light that hovered above him he looked around to see Orphyn "over here" he cried out as he pulled out a map "we need to travel south till we get to the rat holes" Blut started walking towards his destination before stopping and turning "and don't use anything that might cause a fire the gasses down here are extremely flammable."

Orphyn had originally jumped down without a care. The resounding SPLOOSH made her giggle a bit. That eerie kind. The one that said she was a bit on the not right side. As Blut made his way down, she chimed, "It reaaaaaally smells down here. Like a farm. With less cute things." It was when Blut's light illuminated the surrounding area that she really let loose. "Oh my gawds! Is that...?" She pointed at the sewage floating by. "IS THAT?!" She pointed at another. It then occurred to her what that sploosh sound probably was. She looked down at her boots and shrieked, her knee bent so she could look at the sole. "OH MY GAWDS, EW! THERE'S CORN!" The smiley face popped up to reveal her true horrified features as she looked at Blut with a most disgusted face. "There's coooooorn, Glowy. Why... WHY?!" And suddenly she were calm. Or at least put on that facade of calm as she added. "It's okay. We can do this. Map. Gas. Boom. Got it. I got it. Let's.. go... Please." Popping the candy stick into the ebon stained lips she waited for the man's lead.

Blut waved his hand towards the exit as he started walking expecting her to follow. "This place is the sewers remembers its where Larket throws its waste you know feces, food scraps, corpses you know waste. Also you may want to stay quite we don't know what lives down here" Blut moved onwards as he stepped onto a workers path disguised within shallower waters to get out of the infested waters "oh yeah you may want to come over here it's shallower over here now keep up your your gonna get left in the dark."

Orphyn was still in the process of coming to terms that she had probably just ruined a nice pair of boots. She was okay with blood. Guts. But fecal matter? No way, no how! The heel of her boot was dragged across the sewer support wall, leaving a crude brownish streak. "Ugh. Thanks for the reminder, Glowy. AFTER THE FACT." Despite being told to keep it down, she was obviously having a little crisis. Reaching down to her hip, Orphyn removed the dagger Kaizer from its holster, an eerie green aura beginning to shine in the darkness. At least if she got separated, she wouldn't be totally helpless. "So this Village of furry men. What's there? Someone owe ya money? Are you gonna poke some holes in someone? Why else would you jump into a hole of gross and gooey?" She quickly made her way into the shallow area, keeping her stride in tune with his.

Blut shook his head as he trekked on through the muck and grime Blut sighed as he turned to her. "Remember you jumped in here without me and didn't I tell you to stay quite. Anyways there's someone there who's framed my employer so I've been tasked at finding the illusionist that did it this employer of mine is involved with politics so I need to keep this clean so no unnecessary fights I'm going to talk to them if I need to sure I'll stab some people." Blut stood still before turning to her "which is why I need you to make sure that if you decide to tag along you allow me to do all the talking got it." Blut asked the question with clear strict intent.

Orphyn could feel the pulsing of her dagger. She fought that urge to just stick the man in his neck with it. Bad Orphyn. Behave, remember? "Aw. No fun. Fiiiine. Diploooomacy it is. But if they start first.. I'm not responsible for defending myself!" She grinned wide like a goof. "So. Hrm. Why did they frame your employer? Is it a conspiracy? Are they plotting to take over business?!"

Blut sighed as he turned " if they start your to let me deal with it you don't seem like the type of person who takes prisoners and as I said I don't need to spook the culprit. As for why they framed my employer." Blut just shrugged "don't know don't really care all that matters to me is that I get paid for this." Blut noticed some fermin guards as he raised his hand to stop Orphyn "alright here's the hard part your gonna just need to stay quite can you do that for me"

Orphyn wrinkled her nose in annoyance. She really hated being quiet. Well. When she wanted to be chatty, that is. One hand whipped up and gave Blut a salute, soon popping down the smiley faced mask over her features. She slowed her pace to remain a step or two behind the glowing eyed male, her dagger concealed under the lip of her cloak.

Blut walked over to the guard as he produced a passport of a kind. The guard took a while before giving it back to Blut. "But who's the girl" the guard asked drawing his weapon. Blut stared at him causing the man to shrink "she's my apprentice and she's coming with me" the guard nodded as he let them through " well here we are ferminvile" Blut gave out a faint chuckle "it just occurred to me you've never given me your name can you tell me what it is"

Orphyn simply nods at the guard. She wanted to poke him. Don't do it, Orphyn. Don't do it. Diplomacy. But it would be so fun! No. Don't. As they were given the go ahead, she kept close to Blut's side, her own reply somewhat whispered. "Orphyn. You can call me Orphyn." She began to observe her surroundings, the oddball behaviour kept to a minimum as she tried to get a good feel for where they had wandered into. "Furry man ville... I think... I know this place now. Or the name... The furry men... they were kidnapping people... there was some hubbub about it many months ago..."

Blut raised his eyebrow "your going to have to tell me about this in the morning. Blut handed her a bag of gold "what I want you to do is go to the inn and order two rooms I'll preform a proximity sweep and I will meet you in the inn. Now remember two rooms in the inn and behave I shouldn't take longer then 10 minutes ok." Blut looked at her expectantly.

Orphyn did not hesitate to take that bag of gold. Free money! Oh. No. It was gifted with instructions. Would she listen? After all, there was nothing exactly stopping her from waiting until his back was turned, jabbing him a few times in the kidneys, and making off with her newfound wealth. Nothing at all. He would be dead. The furry men would go on framing people. She would just be doing business as usual. Yet, she nodded and then moved into full on salute. "Two rooms. Inn. Aye aye Cap'n Glowy!"

Blut smiled as he scaled the buildings as he searched for anyone trailing or anyone suspicious as he began his sweep.

Orphyn hummed an eerie tune to herself as she strolled around the area, looking for signs of an Inn. She hadn't been this far down here, and judging by the state of the underground city, accommodations didn't look like they would be the best of conditions. Still, with an unyielding upbeat attitude, she managed to stumble upon what would be the closest thing to an Inn in the Fermin infested area. She hardly spoke to the being working the counter, two fingers lifted to indicate the number of room required. The bag of gold was plopped down as issued payment. When business was settled, Orphyn took a bit to check out the rooms while she waited for the glowing eyed man to return from his scouting.

Blut entered the inn as he walked to the counter. He eyed the local area as he listened to the whispers around him as he reached the counter. Blut spoke in fermin to the counter as he found out which rooms that Orphyn had booked. Blut walked up to the rooms as he knocked on Orphyns door in order to make plans for tomorrow.

Orphyn 's door opened with a sticky clicking and a loud creak, the woman walking away to make room from Blut's entrance. Her mask was once again plopped atop her head, that candy stick stuck between her lips. "This place is yucky. I'd rather be at the home." she grumbled. "Find what you were lookin' for, Glowy?"

Blut sighed as he sat on a box for a chair. "yeah this area is clean noone knows of our presence here and the passport was cleared Larket just thinks we are traders here to make business" He pulled out a parchment that detailed the job "What I'm really here for is to look for any clues that could link any of these fermin to the man Kelovath or Macon. Kelovath is the man in jail and Macon is the one who put him there. If we find someone down here who can be linked to either one of these men we are to capture them." Blut reached into his cloak and pulled out some bread and offered it to Orphyns "now eat up and get some sleep we get up early in the morning first thing we do is talk with the clientele for any rumors." Blut put his hand to the mask as it distorted creating a new face of white skin white hair and brown eyes, the eyes stopped glowing as he looked at Orphyn "alright and you should remember this face this will be the face I use for this investigation."

Orphyn lifts one hand in dismissal of the offered bread. "I'm fine, Glowy! I don't eat much. Or sleep much. Night time is awake time!" The black satchel she carried on her back was tossed onto the makeshift bed, the contents quickly rummaged through. "New face. Okey dokey smokey! I'll use a new face too!" Removed from the bag was a mask of an older woman; She lifted it up and held it against her face, her tongue stuck out through the mouth hole. It looked really realistic. It wasn't... someone's real face was it?

Blut shook his head "I wouldn't use that here some fermin have a acute sense of smell if that face doesn't match the scent of the rest of your body it will blow your cover. Anyways you don't really need to hide your face it's not like your going to come in contact with the same clientele after this mission are you." Blut opened the door to leave before placing a bell on it "if your not going to sleep then be sure to keep a eye out this is Larket where only the most cunning survive."

Orphyn pouts as she lowers the mask, tossing it atop her bag. "Fiiiiiine." she huffed. "Will do! SiN and I will be ever watchful! If there's any problems we'll be sure to let you know!" A signature salute is offered. She wasn't a soldier, she just liked to pretend. "Nighty night! Sleep tight! Don't let furry men bite! ...Unless you're into that sort of thing!" The door was shut behind Blut's exit.
