She noted that the boy seemed a bit sad that he was being pushed outside. She would stop to talk to him on her way out. She turned to the girl. "I'm just looking around. I don't have much money," she said.❞ ┗━━━━━━━━━┛

 Kameko Hotaka Hotaka laughed and shook her head, walking down a few steps, toward the girl, then past her.
Johnny had come out after Hotaka. "Feel free to look around then." He chuckled. He turned to Ralf and Ricky, "We should probably be out here anyway. I guess this was a wake up call." He continued to grin at his brothers. "Don't let looks fool you, moron."

I've flown a million miles just to find a magic seed
A white flower with the power to bring life to me
You're so exotic my whole body fluttering
Constantly craving for a taste of your sticky sweet
Melina Nadine Larkspur  Lina kept making her way though the woods, though she began to think that she was going in the right direction. She didn't hear Kowe howling anymore, so she didn't have that sound to lead her. She didn't see Ryul, so she didn't have that sight. Basically, she had wandered off the trail, and she was lost. She kept listening for any movement, any other sign. She could spot some of the shrubs and underbrush flattened, however, it wasn't leading her anywhere.
Or, that was what she thought. Knowing she would probably find some path, she followed the broken plants, hoping to see either Kowe or Ryul nearby. No such luck. However, she did hear some movement. She turned towards the sound and saw a bit of blood on the forest floor. That wasn't terrifying, no. What was terrifying was what she saw staring right at her. There was a black panther looking at her with bright eyes. It had blood on it, and presumably it was it's own mixed with Kowe's.
Lina did her best to stay still, and not provoke the animal. However, she didn't have much to protect herself with. Her bow and arrows were back at her home. No dagger, only what was in her apron pocket. Slowly, ever so slowly, she lifted one hand and reached into her pocket, searching for something other than the vial of fertilizer. She was a bit lucky, but not completely. She happened to find a small pruning saw. Not that big, one handed, and short saw blade. It had been left in her pocket from a few weeks past, when she had trimmed the ornamental bushes in front of her parent's house.
It wasn't that much of a weapon, but it was better than none, Lina thought. If the beast decided to attack her, she'd have to use a lot of strength to embed it into the animal. She instantly got the chills as it growled at her. She knew she had paled as she began backing away slowly. However, it appeared as if she was an easier target than Kowe.
Next thing she knew, the panther lunged at her. She pulled the saw at the ready, looking for a chance to strike. Moments later, she felt the claws slice through the skin of her leg as if it were butter, and she fell to the ground. Lina screamed in pain, not letting it blind her mission. Save herself. She took all her strength and shoved the misused blade into the creature, embedding it as far as she could before attempting to pull it out. In that process, the cat got another good swipe at her, ripping the shirt that covered her stomach. In turn, Lina struck again, ignoring the dizzy sensation that came over her, and the pain she felt. This time, she managed to stab through the chest of the panther, for she believed she pierced a lung.
After that, the cat went to attack her again but, it lost it's power. The blood filling it's lung soon disabled it, and before Lina's vison went black, she saw her foe fall to the ground. Now, she probably had screamed more than once, but she hadn't thought that someone might hear her. No. That wasn't a thought as the blood flowed from her, and her body slipped into an unconscious state. She needed medical attention, and quickly. Always on the brink of a heart attack
You keep me alive and keep me coming back
I see the sun rise in your eyes, your eyes
We've got a future full of blue skies, blue skies

Name: Isabella Kalamari (Izzy or Kala)
Alignment: Steamer
Tier: Society 
Izzy could have almost kissed the man at the door, if she wasn't irritated by his badgering questions. As he asked who she was a gunshot rung out, she swore vividly in response. "Move more, talk less!" Izzy snapped, shoving past Jack and practically falling in her rush to get into the safety of his home. "Shut the door! Shut the door!" She snapped at him. Getting up she slammed the door for him. Then she realized, she had just gone from being up against armed men to up against an armed man.
Calmly she placed her pistols on the floor, her back to the now shut door, and her stomach not far from Jack's blade. In a quick breath she said, "My name is Isabella Kalamari, but you can call me Izzy or Kala- everyone does that counts... well my clients don't but that is another matter." As she spoke of her clients she realized what it might of sounded like, "I'm an investigator. One of the best investigators in Society. And, you have found me on a really bad day. Apparently gang members don't take it nicely if you refuse to play with them, and then proceed to best three of them. Anyhow, is that good enough? Will you lower your blade, please?"
Smiling she added as she made eye contact with Jack, her cool blue eyes narrowing ever so slightly before widening, and she said in the typical Kalamari convincing fashion, "You don't want to stab me. My blood would soil your home."
Not waiting to see if what Izzy's mother called Izzy and the Kalamari's "glamoring trick" worked (which had probably a 75 percent chance of success at best), Izzy added with a smile, "So, since you know my name and where I come from... How about your name?"

.:Mit:. Steamer 
Mit was able to catch all of the objects thrown at her with ease... arguments with Junebug had often escalated to this level, and Mit had become quite adept at reciprocating attacks involving plates and other random objects that just so happen to be laying in the small robot"s vicinity.
Mit stared blankly at the gadget after Jack returned it to her. There was nothing else to tinker with! It worked perfectly fine, it just...
Mit gasped as Jack ran past her with his sword and the needle raised approximately to the middle. SHe blink as it lowered again. Had she just... imagined that? Was this thing she created really a reader for... Kante magic? But... but how? She'd never been around magic since she was born! Then again, it would explain why it didn't work when she tried it out back home. What could it read if there was nothing there?
Holding the reader in her hand, Mit meandered upstairs to see who the person at the door was. She stopped when she heard a beginning of a conversation. Looking around the corner from where no one would noice her, she fiddled absentmindedly with the sheath in which the reader was encased. Hm... white hair, pale skin...? This girl looked almost like a...
"My name is Isabella Kalamari, but you can call me..."
Mit inhaled sharply. A Kalamari?? Like the infamous Kalamari investigators that her father always hired?? Was that even possible?? Had they come to retrieve her, had they found her out?? No... it didn't seem as though this Kalamari woman had any kind of identification device on her, so she doubted the woman would be able to tell who she was. Still, it would be better if they didn't find her snooping around...
In her haste to escape, the reader she was holding in her hand clattered loudly to the ground. Mit yelped in surprise, stumbling over it and falling headfirst into the one place where she would be impossible to miss. She stood up awkwardly, not making a sound, her cheeks flaming red. Thank goodness her eyes were hidden under her choppy hair, so that the woman wouldn't get the idea that Mit was, in fact, a girl.
Please, Jack... Mit prayed. Please... just play along...

❝Shadow Flame❞  ◢Яyul Șamison◤ Ryul heard Emiko's voice, then immediately after, he heard screaming. He looked at Emiko. "Please, go help her," he said, his eyes and voice pleading with her. He could only assume that the screaming had been Lina. Who else would be out here now? He couldn't leave Kowe in the condition he was now though. Not waiting to see if Emiko listened to his request, he turned back to Kowe. He started working on the wounds. All he could think of was that day all those years ago when he first found Kowe, injured and close to death in the forest.

Ⱦamiko Ƞara "Please leave me alone. I'm busy." ┏━━━━━━━━━┓ ❝Tamiko looked back at the boy. "Call me Miko," she said. If people that she just met asked her name, she told them to call her Miko. When it got to the point that she could refer to them as friends, she told them her real name or told her that she actually preferred Tami. "Nothing in particular. I'm just looking to see what you have," she said. She heard something fall and flinched. She walked over to where the sound came from and saw Kitz laying on a bottom shelf. The cat had pushed an item off the shelf in order to make room for herself. Tami pulled the cat off the shelf by her scruff. "I thought I told you not to break anything," she said. "I'm really sorry," she said to the boy, bending to pick up the item and check to see if it had been damaged. Thankfully, it didn't seem to have taken any damage. She replaced it on the shelf and straightened with the cat in her hands.❞ ┗━━━━━━━━━┛

Name: Jack Welston
Allignment: Steamer
Tier: Undercity
Character: 
Jack flinched at he sound of the gunshot, and after the Izzy got closed the door, he pulled a lever on the right side of the door. "There, that should hold... whoever that was back for a while. Who were they?" Jack asked turning around to face this newcomer.
When his eyes met hers, he felt slightly uncomfortable and slightly sleepy. What a strange sensation I have... I wonder how she does this.. Jack thought as he let go of the grip of his blade. I feel oddly compelled to do what she asks. I gotta watch my back with her. Jack thought while smiling at Izzy's complement of his home.
"Thank you for you lovely comments on my home, and please, relax, you are safe. You say you are an investigator? What are you looking for, if I may ask. Would you like something to drink?" Jack politely asked as he lead Izzy to a chair. "Oh, and how rude of me." Jack gave a small bow and took Izzy's hand. "My name is Jack Welston. Feel free to call me Jack." He kissed Izzy's hand, as he was taught from the Professor. The Professor may be against me know, but I do thank him for showing me some manners.
As he kissed her hand, he heard a noise from his lab and his eye's showed panic. Darn, I forgot about Mit! What should I do! Jack closed his eyes and chuckled. "Forgive the noise ma'am. Just some kids playing from the home downstairs. Junior inventors they take themselves. Always up to no good." Jack had himself another chuckle and prayed that it would convince this Izzy character. "Now, down to business. May I ask just what are you doing in my house?"

Name: Isabella Kalamari (Izzy or Kala)
Alignment: Steamer
Tier: Society
Izzy smiled as she realized the that her "glamoring" trick worked. She used to not be as good at the trick, but over time she was slowly realizing she was more talented at the trick than her father. If she had to rate things her father had taught her, the unnerving ability to convince someone to do what you wanted was up there in usefulness, even if it didn't always work. Of course, with Jack Welston it worked quite well, even though Jack seemed a bit unnerved by it.
Izzy allowed herself to be lead to a chair and was surprised more by the kiss on her hand than the luck in finding Jack Welston. She was about to answer his question when they heard a noise. Jack had brushed it off as the kids playing downstairs, but he seemed nervous, and the noise hadn't sounded as if they were below them. Smiling, Izzy accepted his story verbally, no use getting on his bad side yet, "Kids... they can get loud I suppose. I don't have much experience with them, though, to tell you the truth..."
Cocking her head she returned "to business", "I'm in your house because you let me in. Actually, funny enough I was looking for you. As I was told at the factory you work that you might be able to help me out. I'm looking for a girl aged around 15, or a boy around the same age. Blond curly hair, blue eyes, very pretty, showed up less than a year ago in the Factory, might have some problems doing the work, at least initially... probably a bit on the modest side. Sound like anyone you know?"

.:Mit:. Steamer
Not knowing what else to do other than panic, Mit wandered into the room casually, stuffing the gizmo into her bag as if it was the most natural thing in the world. She walked over to her gun, which was still leaning against the wall, and slung it over her shoulder, not making eye contact with either of them. Her face was blank and unemotional as she did what she had to do, pretending as if she perfectly well belonged there.
She figured that the best way to avoid Izzy's suspicion was to act as if nothing at all was wrong. True, that glamor trick would hardly work on her, since she had her own version of glamouring... oh, the Kalamari hadn't seen anything until sixteen year-old Mit set to work on a man... but if the woman tried anything, she would have to atleast pretend that she was affected a little bit... after all, she was supposed to be a fourteen year-old boy. But the Kalamari wasn't the only one with tricks up her sleeve. As long as Mit stayed silent, she had nothing to hold against her. And the woman was stupid. Mit's hair was naturally straight, not curly. Her mother always put in hair curlers before photo shoots... something that had so far worked to Mit's advantage.
After putting her gun back on her shoulders, she took a seat in the corner, pulling out one of Jack's blueprints (that she had secretly been coveting under her shirt), unrolled it, and began to examine it as though she had all the time in the world.

Kameko Hotaka Johnny nodded as Miko told them her name. When he heard a sudden thud, he looked over in the direction and found the source. As soon as Miko appologized, Johnny, Ricky, and Ralf all bursted into laughter. Johnny spoke first though. "It's fine. Nothing in here can break that easily." He looked at the cat, and as he did, it meowed at him, causing him to smile and chuckle once more. "Cute cat." He said, thinking aloud.
Hotaka had come back in from the outside after hearing something fall. She smiled when she realized it was nothing big. She was glad Johnny and the other boys were seamingly getting along with this girl. It pleased her.
Meanwhile, JJ had followed Hotaka back in. "What was that noise?" He asked, wanting to be part of the conversation.
Johnny looked over at JJ and Hotaka while they continued to stand in the doorway. "It was just that one part Hotaka found, a week ago? Yea, probably. You know, that broken robot."
JJ nodded as he remembered what Johnny was talking about. "Oh, okay." He laughed then wandered back outside, putting his hands in his pant pockets, shaking his head, and allowing a wide smile to appear across his face. "Don't let looks fool you, moron."

 Emiko Kei As soon as Emiko heard Melina scream, she didn't need to be told twice. Almost silently, Emiko dissappeared into the trees, rushing toward the source of the now faded screaming.
As soon as she began to small blood, Emiko faught the images that were brought with it. Images of her past. She just tried focusing on getting to Melina in time.
When she found her, she was unconscious. She was extremely surprised by the amount of blood she saw, obviously from Melina. She knew she had to stop it from leaving Melina's body as quickly as possible or she might die from blood loss. Emiko jumped from the branch she was previously crouched on. She rushed toward Melina, not bothering to look at the dead animal near by. She asumed Melina had killed it trying to defend her own life.
Emiko placed her hands over the wounds, ignoring the blood that flowed onto and over her own hands. She closed her eyes, concentrating. A green glow began to appear over the wound where the flesh had been torn, and it was as if the skin was repairing itself.
After it was done, Emiko opened her eyes. She reached for the bag she had been carrying with her, and took out a small pouch. The pouch held water. Emiko carefully lifted Melina's head, pouring some of the water into Melina's mouth, forcing the unconscious body to swallow. Emiko then placed Melina's head back down, again, carefully.
Emiko sigh, closing her eyes, and dropping her own head down, finally able to relax a bit, but knowing that wouldn't last long. She sat still, finally allowing the images and memories to invade her mind.
