'One, two, Becky's coming for you. Three, four, your luck is so poor. Five, six, we sail the river styx. Seven, eight, the vultures haven't ate. Nine, ten, you'll never see again.'
The business had just opened up today, the siblings running the Eterni-Tea shop as per the plan while a few hours would pass by, with a hooded figure walking into the business. The people there talking and seeming to be worried about the recent escape of prisoners. A small shimmer from the gauntlets on his arms as he approaches the counter, keeping his head down before he cleared his throat. He was hiding his eyes primarily with platinum hair as he spoke, his voice sounding softer than the last time they spoke, with a few tonal differences. "I need to speak with the Tora siblings of Ichirou and Tsuki?"" He asked them softly, his standing state more of a slouch as he was trying to hide his real voice from them. But considering the circumstances, he had to trust them for the task ahead of him. If they agreed, he would motion them to a nearby booth so they could talk a little easier without causing a scene, but if they didn't, he would sigh and simply leave.

Tsuki was kept pleasantly busy but, she was also not the only server on the floor today, which was a blessing. Still, she wondered how long the two newbies would fair. As the business day progressed into the lunch hour, it seemed she would be pulled from her thoughts as a new figure came in. That is not one of our regulars...a traveler? She thought, a slight crease between her brows forming only a split second before she smiled welcomely towards the tall male that approached the counter. Raising a slight eyebrow at the inquiry while listening to the voice that she couldn't quite pin, nor the hair, she would nod slightly. "We're a bit busy at the moment...but, if you're willing to wait, we should be free to talk in say an hour," Miya replied, looking at the clock in her pause, before finishing and waiting for his response. If he agreed, she would lead him to a booth in her section and set a menu before him, take his drink order if he was ready then continue her round before returning to him after a bit with his drink. "On the house," Miya told him kindly. Have I seen him before... the tigress was perplexed the rest of the time.
After about an hour, the lunch hour died down and the tea shop would be closed; Tsuki preparing tea before returning to the table. Empty for except Tsuki, Ichirou and the silver-haired human they would join at the booth. The older tiger faunus frowned, contemplating where he had seen this male before as they sat before him. Having yet to see his eyes nor voice, he would be on guard more than his sister was. Tsuki would bring them a pot of cherry blossom green tea which he thanked her for. Pouring a cup for their guest first, then clockwise, Ichirou would set the pot down on a center pad before addressing the male, should he not speak first."What is it you wish to discuss with us,"He inquired politely, though not wanting to waste time.Have we seen him before?...Could this have something to do with the case?He pondered while the siblings waited for the man to speak...
Meanwhile, Haruko would begin her walking through the park for about an hour before making her way back to the bookshop. Though she had originally planned to make her way calmly to where they had the yellow tape to indicate where the break had begun late at night."So, strange."She sighed under her breath before walking away, if not stopped first, down the sidewalk. It had appeared that the shop beside the police station had also taken a little damage from the casual glean of things. Even so, it seemed the owners had closed for the day; a family day, thankfully, if she remembered right.Maybe we could...Haruko pondered, if not stopped, before walking down a few more blocks down and walking down the alley to a fire escape to climb."This should d---"She began to herself, interrupted by a cough she'd cover with her handkerchief. Unphased, she would put it away in her purse for now and continue to survey the streets from above, trying to get a feel of which way the escapees could've gone...

Ottis Odin Oklei Oakleigh Oakley Oaklee O'donnel Ottoman “Ocho” Team OLST “Pick a hand and Imma slap you with it.”
Ocho returned to his dorm and grumbled to himself all the way to bed. Sleep didn't come easily that evening. So much annoyance from their dinner meeting. Most of which had been Kuro taking some substantially less than subtle digs at him for his supposed lack of intelligence and tact. Although when you've eight arms and a rather tall mohawk it was pretty hard not to stand out. Granted the hair style was by choice, but still. He'd show Kuro. He'd help solve the case just to prove how much his team needed him! Speaking of, Kuro never returned home that evening. Curious.
Never one to outwardly worry about the pompous prince, Ocho woke early and fixed up his hair. The color had faded slightly, but he wasn't ready to dye it again just yet even with some of his natural, dirty blonde roots showing. After dressing himself as normal with his new, eight-sleeved leather jacket, his Scroll gave a loud buzz. A few hands subconsciously juggled it into his preferred upper-right hand to read the message from Azura. “Azura?” He questioned quietly to himself. Three hands snapped their fingers “Oh, right. That one.” He answered the call and completely misread the tone her voice implied. The thrill that her friend was okay came through clear enough. Ottis' reaction, however, suggested otherwise. He agreed to meet her and dropped the Scroll down a few hands. “Oh yeah, she's into me.” He said into his mirror with a smirk having thought he ended the call before one of his hands finally did.
O'donnell arrived at the Hospital and, in that moment, realized he never discussed where he was to meet up with Azura. Should look? Should he call her back? The line of questioning within his mind began to unintentionally spill out of his mouth while he paced back and forth in the lobby. Four hands stuffed in pockets, two hands thumb wrestling each other, one scratching the side of his head while the final one rubbed his chin.

'One, two, Becky's coming for you. Three, four, your luck is so poor. Five, six, we sail the river styx. Seven, eight, the vultures haven't ate. Nine, ten, you'll never see again.'
He made his statement and when she responded, he nodded his head as he began to walk away calmly towards one of the booths that she led him towards. He saw the menu she placed before him before he ordered a cup of black tea. He needed to keep his mind clear as he soon brought him the cup and nodded his head as she told him it was on the house. "Thank you." He told her while he began to drink while the hour began to pass by. He didn't know it was a half day and with his focus, he had not seen the other customers leave when the Tora siblings joined him at his both. With his cup empty, he watched through his hair as it was refilled before he cleared his throat. "Seems like business as usual despite the current circumstances. But I'm surprised the guests all left." He spoke in his disguised accent before Ichirou spoke and asked what he wanted to discuss. "...I'm here to discuss the recent prison break that occurred that Jarlen and Akuryo were freed from. Akuryo happened to inform me of what he had seen before he fled, plausibly to escape view." He told them calmly while he leaned back in the booth, keeping the hood and his hair up. His sleeves were hovering over his wrists and the backs of his hands as he had more to hide, but he was trying to play it off. "What your perpetrator's could possibly be might be of some interest to you correct?" He asked of them.

Aurtrox had received from one of his informants at the hospital that Aya had been admitted. It was a tad later than he expected but he made sure to promptly order an airship to take him to the Vale hospital. He marched down the hall with two bodyguards at either side. "Morgtag, you will wait outside the hospital room for the first shift. You two will watch Aya until she is healed up. Dorlin, I want you to speak to our informants and firmly tell them we expect them to be swifter in their reports."
He eventually reached the room. He stood outside for a moment and collected himself. He looked weary from the tedious work as of late. Emotionally draining work at that. He would open the door carefully and step in by himself. "Aya..." Aurtrox said with a soft voice. Knowing she was likelys leeping. He felt bad that she was hospitalized on this very first mission, but she was a tough girl. She would only come out stronger every time she was put down. He knew her resolve would be that much stronger.
"How are you feeling?" Aurtrox asked as he pulled up a chair to her bedside. "What happened?" Aurtrox hadn't requested her medical report or been given any details yet. It was illegal for him to look at it without her permission, though his informants would give it to him without question if he asked. She was stable though and so he didn't feel the need to do such.

Completely oblivious to her infatuation with Ocho, Azura entered the hospital to find the eight-armed man pacing in the lobby. Alone. "Hello, Ocho. Where is Kuro?" She asked, expecting them to arrive together. After getting Aya's room number from the receptionist, she headed to Aya's room with Ocho. What she didn't expect was to find two bodyguards in front of the door. She looked past them at the room number on the door...which was, unfortunately, the one the receptionist had told them. "Umm...Hello. We are here to see Tsume Aya? I am Azura Knight and this is Ocho..." She paused and looked towards Ocho, "Actually no one has told me your last name."
One of the guards opened the door a crack and spoke to someone inside while the other gave them an 'I dare you' sort of look. Azura shifted uncomfortably under the gaze. She wouldn't flinch at a snarling Grimm running towards her with its teeth and claws. She knew how to respond to Grimm. Kill them. People though... Was she supposed to look away or stare back? Did he want them to back off a few feet down the hall? Finally, the first guard gave a nod to the second guard and pushed the door open. Azura nervously stepped into the room to find something even more shocking than the guards out front. "Oh...Headmaster..." She froze in place with a distinct deer in headlights look.

Ottis Odin Oklei Oakleigh Oakley Oaklee O'donnel Ottoman “Ocho” Team OLST “Pick a hand and Imma slap you with it.”
Ocho flinched slightly as the sudden call from Azura's voice startled him out of his thoughts. He offered a kind smile when she greeted him. A smile which quickly faded when she asked for Kuro. “Hello, Azura. And that's a good question. I haven't seen him since we left last night.” Should he be worried? No, he wasn't worried. But of course he was worried. A leader was meant to worry about his subordinates, after all. He walked with her until they came upon the room beset by guards.
Guards? The tiny little fox girl needed guards? No, there had to be another reason they were stationed outside. A question what would have to wait on account of Azura stumbled upon introducing him and indirectly asked for his last name. “That's because I don't have one.” He lied sternly. “Nor do I have a middle one. Or a second middle one, or a surrogate one, or a given one, or a taken one, and especially not a borrowed one. My name. Is. Ocho.” No, she certainly didn't strike a nerve if that's what you're insinuating!
Back to the guards. As the “tougher” one seemed to be sizing them up, Odin would not back down. In fact, he approached the guard and stood tall; rolling his shoulders back to show the pinnacle of his height at 6'7” (approximately 200 cm), plus a few extra inches from his mohawk. Before either of them could make a move, however, the other guard gave the word for him to open the door. “Well done.” Oaklee taunted, “Sit, stay. Good boy.” One of his hands quickly shot up and waved in front of his own face, a little “you can't see me” action. It happened so quickly that even O'donnel wasn't sure he did it on purpose.
As the pair advanced into the room, the reason the guards had been stationed there became clear. They weren't there for Aya. No. Beacon's own Headmaster had come out to visit the fox because...reasons? At that moment, the boy had begun to regret getting involved. If Aurtrox was here then this must have been very serious. Although that did also afford him an opportunity to prove just how effective of a leader he was. And to their biggest leader, even. He wouldn't say anything just yet. He'd wait to be addressed.
「 Ḅeacộn Âcademy Ḩeadmastέr 」 "The failures of one's past do not exist..." ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀
The guards kept rigid while they stared down the students. Mortagh was the senior of the two guards and had speckled white hairs. The guards were seemingly both human. Likely a political move on Aurtrox's part. Both men, while shorter than Ocho were stocky and muscled. They wore suits, but it was obviously not their attire of choice. They didn't budge or flinch when Ocho tried to intimidate them, but they let both pass through after Aurtrox had given the command.
In the room.
Aurtrox was definitely surprised when one of his guards poked his head into the room to inform him of the arrival of Azura and Ocho. Why were they not already here keeping watch over Aya? His steely gaze said enough as he watched them enter. He expected better. But then he realized, they probably didn't know better. Behind Azura Ocho would enter. He was large. Aurtrox had not had much interaction with him yet. "Azura, Ocho... Why were you not keeping guard over Aya? This is not a Beacon hospital." Was that enough? Azura was smart, but Ocho, he wasn't sure how much the young man would catch onto. "I apologize for my lack of brevity. We live in a dangerous world, a world where people's lives are choked out while they heal in a hospital bed. Please be more vigilant."
He took a deep breath.
He obviously didn't know the full situation, maybe some grace needed to be given here. But he was obviously upset that nobody was looking over Aya. "She is still asleep..." Aurtrox said softly as his head turned to look over the white fox. Though he figured she'd wake or was already awake now with all the chatter in the room.
"Take a seat," Aurtrox more demanded than asked. He motioned with one arm to a wall of chairs beside the door. He sat on the other side of the bed in his own chair. He had a haggard look that was not common to the man.

As Autrox thought, Aya indeed woke up to the different voices she could hear, opening her eyes and slowly rising, her sight still blurry as she saw five different shapes of humans, two of them were in black clothes and what looked like suits, one was a slim female with black hair, one with weird body proportions… were they extra limbs? And one tall man with white hair “oh… good I’m glad to see you guys are here” Aya said softly as she looked at Azura Ocho and what she thought was Kuro “I am guessing you got my message huh? I…” she sighed as her body shook a little “I think I now believe that old folklore legend thingy Akuryo was talking about” she said as her blurry vision slowly faded, those were indeed the people she thought they were except… “wait, Autrox? What are you doing here? wait where is Kuro?” she asked as she looked around, other than the guards she couldn’t see anyone extra in the room, it made her a little sad but mostly disappointed as she shook her head “anyways now that you guys are here. at night when I was scouting the streets around the where the last murders occurred and well... I was attacked by Tostada, one of the people who were murdered when we began our investigation, but it wasn’t just him! It was something around six others just like him! They all looked lifeless and when I tried to slice at them they didn’t even take any damage while not even having any aura” she said as she tried to stand up with her still tired feet if nobody stopped her from standing she would probably fall on the ground which would make her scoff at herself for her weakness “they felt somewhat…. Soil-ish, as if they are made of dirt and were not alive” tears formed in her eyes once again “even Netami… even she was a victim to the same murders, the weird zombie-like body was exactly as it should have been, tail-less and ear-less” her hands slowly stopped shaking as a small chuckle would form under her voice “but on the bright side, while I did not exactly make up the figure of the attacker itself he did show up, he had a strong stench of fetid dead flesh, it was simply disgusting. So… when shall we go and investigate more? We can’t waste too much time by just sitting around” she asked with a cheerful yet still weak tone, it was obvious she wasn’t recovered yet but there is no way she would let it stop her. tabOOC — ❄tabtab new format!!! tabICY SHIELD — ❄tabtab not activated tabCOOLDOWN — ❄tabtab Available tabOUTFIT — ❄tabtab [url=outfitlink

Ottis Odin Oklei Oakleigh Oakley Oaklee O'donnel Ottoman “Ocho” Team OLST “Pick a hand and Imma slap you with it.”
Why were they not keeping guard? Was this man serious? Ocho nearly scoffed in response, however his body would respond in kind. From top to bottom, one set of arms at a time folded across various parts of his torso at a time. Once all four had crossed, they lifted and dropped as he offered a huff. Ottis would, at least, allow Aurtrox to finish his statement and reluctantly sat when “asked” to.
Following a short moment of silence Odin spoke up, “Tch!” He spat. “One fox in my charge is enough of a handful. I didn't realize I was meant to look after their entire tribe.” He should have stopped there, but the anger began to get the better of him. “I guess I was just supposed to know she was hospitalized. Because I have eyes and ears everywhere...” A not-so-subtle dig. Truth be told he didn't even know if the Headmaster had a network of informants, but such an assumption wasn't too outlandish.
Before things descended too far, Aya awoke and addressed the group. Poorly, at first. But she had just woken up so her confusion was reasonable. She went on to explain about being jumped by what sounded like supernatural nonsense. Oakley merely rolled his eyes at the conversation and leaned further back in his chair.
“I suppose more investigation would be in order.” Ottoman agreed. “Although a bit of muscle is needed this time, isn't it?” While his response was meant for Aya, his eyes remained locked on Aurtrox. Following a flare of his nostrils, he added, “Headmaster...”
In the closed tea shop, the young tigress acknowledged Victor's thanks before sitting. As they listened, Miya and Ichirou nodded when the pale human male commented on their business going on as usual. Well, maybe it is a little odd, She agreed mentally. Ice-blue eyes studied their guest. "More than not, although we've been closing before dark for safety," Miya responded casually before Ichi would get down to business. Her eyes widened slightly in surprise when the older male mentioned he was in contact Mr. Blackwood. "Is he safe at least," Miya inquired without really thinking. How was he able to get to a messenger so swiftly, the tigress pondered to herself while Ichirou responded, drinking quietly for now.
Ichirou listened quietly, though Miya-chan's question had him giving her a gentle smile before looking to the human. Pondering as the pale-haired male informed them of why he wanted to talk. When the human was done, the older tiger would take a quiet sip of his tea before pale-blue eyes would look to the man calmly."We thank you for coming on Mr. Blackwood's behalf,"The tiger faunus said with polite sincerity.I can understand why Akuryo couldn't come...but, should still be cautious,He reminded himself."It would be of great interest. Please, continue, Mr..."The tiger faunus responded before indirectly asking of whom they were speaking to.What would he want in return for that information,The question was not asked, but it would be felt for later.
Outside and above the streets of Vale's commercial area, Haruko Tora assessed the situation as best she could. From observation alone, she would note several trails; each of non-discernible origins and of varying sizes. Counting in her head, she'd say there were about 4."Where did they go?"She sighed and tried to follow each visually without much success.Looks like there's not much else I can do,Haruko thought as she took out a small notebook from her purse to jot down her findings before heading back down to the familiar streets she and her siblings had grown up around and headed back to Page Turner for a bit.

"Uhh...well...you see..." A wide-eyed Azura stumbled out a few non-sensical words before Ocho cut in. By the time he was done speaking, Azura was standing a few feet further away from him than she had been before he started speaking as if physical distance would somehow lessen her being associated with him.
I thoughtful sort of frown took over her features as Aya told her story though. Undead soil people. Suddenly it occurred to Azura that they had overlooked something major. “How did they know you or anyone else they killed were from Atlas?” She asked the group. “Was it public knowledge? Aya isn’t a public figure, so either they knew from Beacon, were familiar with the Arctic Foxes, or met Aya at some point prior.” It wasn’t a fact Aya was secretive about, but she doubted Aya went around Vale introducing herself as ‘Aya from Atlas’. “They likely want to finish the job, so we could set up an ambush using my semblance, but we need some way to stop them from escaping….but first we need to find Kuro. If they knew about Aya and Netami then they likely know about Kuro as well…”. Hopefully, Aurtox would forget about his question of why they weren't protecting Aya earlier....or not add why they hadn't been guarding Kuro.

'One, two, Becky's coming for you. Three, four, your luck is so poor. Five, six, we sail the river styx. Seven, eight, the vultures haven't ate. Nine, ten, you'll never see again.'
Victor nodded his head calmly as the tigress acknowledged his statements, listening as she mentioned that they've been closing before dark for safety reasons. "That is good then, with everything that's been happening it is better to know that there are some who care." He told her before nodded his head while she showed concern for Akuryo before Ichirou began to speak next. Victor moved his head to his general direction and nodded his head before he was soon asked about his identity. He remained quiet for a moment before he took a deep breath. "If Akuryo trusts you enough... I can be upfront as well. I am Victor Breakheart, and Akuryo asked for me to help get to the bottom of this mystery as best as I can since it involves my old team." He told them both calmly while he adjusted his seat while looking to them. The man closed his eyes as he sat up straight and spoke. "An Earthy scent, no scent of blood, added in sulfur, the perpetrators are something akin to Golems that seem to be in the likeness of the deceased. Currently Akuryo had seen 5 of them: Tostada Elegant, Kati Katswell, Fenrir Red-Claw, and two more he didn't recognize... one of them had hair of ash-white and the other donned a strange hat that looked like the golden flare of a sun. Trust me when I say that while I have no info on their location, that means we're dealing with someone who is puppeteering this danger." Victor told them calmly as his hazel eyes were now more visible through his hair.

Aurtrox would chuckle when Aya was surprised that he was there. He flicked his wrist as a signal to his guards to take station outside the room. One would patrol the hall, the other would take guard right by the door.
Aurtrox would ignore Ocho's digs. He was clearly upset. And Aurtrox was not in the habit of pushing students he didn't know well. He would simply listen to Ocho with a kind smile and nod to him so he knew he had heard every word. But in his face was no judgement, Aurtrox just simply accepted the emotions Ocho threw his way and returned kinder vibes to calm the room. It did amuse him to see Azura making more space. Did Ocho intimidate her? Or did she just want to not be associated with his current stance.
Azura was one of the seniors that was very capable. Aurtrox did hold her to a higher standard than most. She would then contribute to the conversation with well thought out speculation. A clue was given by the killer's knowledge.
In the room. Aurtrox would then listen to everything Aya had to say. A strange tale of the dead. Clearly there was a strange semblance. Aya seemed to believe they were dirt manifestations of those killed by the semblance of the true murderer. Aurtrox would ponder this for a long moment without saying anything. Taking note that she didn't specify how she was injured or rescued.
Ocho called for Aurtrox to send in some more muscle in the form of a question.
"Aya, Azura, Ocho..." He said their names slowly as he methodically tapped his fingers on the arm of the chair he sat on. He took a deep breath. "Clearly this has grown to become an issue of some size. First, has anyone reported this to the police? Second. How were you injured and brought to the hospital, Aya? Third. How did the killer escape and what would be required to prevent this?"
Aurtrox had lost too many due to internal issues within Vale. He had ignored these issues for too long. This time he would make sure whatever was needed to catch this killer was done. "Also, how many others from Beacon are involved besides Kuro and Netami? And where are those two currently?" Aurtrox needed more information before the next step could be planned. But Azura was on the dot. They needed to set a trap. Ocho was right that they needed more power on their side in order to do this as well.
"Do we have an idea of the killer's motive? How did you run into the killer to begin with?" This would be critical for setting a trap and predicting movement as well. Once he had all these questions answered they could solidify a real plan.

"I just camefrom the police station," Azura rushed to explain before Ocho started upagain. "Aya texted the group last night, so I enlisted their help infinding her. Either an officer found her, brought her here and there was acommunication breakdown, or someone else brought her here. I don't think theywill help us look for Kuro though. There was a prison break just a short whileago, so the priority will be on finding the escapees. The director was kindenough to give me access to the list. Both Mr. Akuryo Beckwood and Mr. JarlenEstudian are on the list.”
“I believe Mr. Backwood to be involved in some way, or at least he knows morethan he is willing to tell us. He instructed Mr. Estudian not to give out anyinformation, and he was very relucted to speak to me. According to him, he didn’tthink anyone would believe him… which based on the beating the police gave himI can see why. However, we was still locked up when Aya was attacked, so thatappears to exonerate him from being the murderer. Unless the police find him,we won’t be able to question him further, but perhaps we could search his residenceand business for more clues. As for Netami and Kuro…Ocho just informed me that Kuro didn't come home last night and Netami...I believe that is why Aya, Kuro and Ocho joined in the first place..." There was no easy way to say Netami had their ears and tail cut off before being murdered.
