The depot that Rúna Ridus runs in Neutral City. It's not the largest of places but she provides a range of materials and speciality machines and orders. Outside, above the doors reads "RIDUS DEPOT" in big letters. Inside there is a clear space with posters and lists on walls. Across the way is the coutner where Rúna is often behind, when she's here and the depot is open. There is a doorway behind the counter, without a door, that leads further inside. There she keeps all her items and gets orders ready.

It had been sometime after he left the wilderness peace was restored and his bounty completed. The young hunter held a sack of gold in his hand's the reward for a job well done. As Gaia slept Lucas was exploring the town he still hadn't gotten use to being in large cities. So many places and the day was long true to his personality he bought gifts for Gaia when she awoke.
In the center of the street a street performer played his lovely silver violin, the majestic music filled the air just like the scent of bake goods. Lucas watched the man play the violin with a soft grin on his face the man was good. When the song ended and the people gave their money to the man so did Lucas. He walked across a stone bridge but, stopped in his tracks to look at the crystal clear water below. Large spotted fish swam without a care in the world he could watch them forever at least that what it felt like at the moment.
He left for about a minute and came back with some breed he crushed it,and drop the crumbs into the small river. The fish attacked the crumbs they must have been hungry so he threw the whole bread in with a light chuckle. When his stomach began to growl it was time to eat! his strange clothes brought many stares his way but, he did not care as long as he accepted himself he was okay. The nearest eat out was everywhere it was hard to choose but, one peeked his interest an all you can eat he was on it like a moth to a flame.... after an hour of eating he wasn't bloated nor sluggish he ate his feel but, stayed in to relax. When he got out he explored some more all the shops, new ones, old ones, smith shops,rare item shops, magic shops,inns and so on and so forth.
The day was getting shorter now the sun was starting to set but, he couldn't help go exploring one more time. He found himself cutting corners and eating ice cream at the same time. He had rented a room earlier he might as well, stay the night here the inn was pretty amazing anyways. When he finished his cone of ice cream he spots a shop that looked different then all the others. The words DEPOT was written atop the shop. Lucas had to wonder what the hell was a depot he gave a shrug and decided to take a look see. You might find something amazing if you look hard enough he whispers as he made his way to the door and proceeded to knock....knock knockAnyone home!? he yells not too loud though.
Far beyond the hazy borders of my heart I can see a place It's something like this Every now and then I don't know what to do Still I know that I Can never go back
Arriving back to a familiar setting was always a nice occasion, especially after the Zeppelin journey across much of Occulas, She had to stop at Asmodius to exchange over to another before she could get to Neutral City. There was a notably noisy bunch of youths from Entei, no doubt, that she could still hear even with walls between them. The room she did find herself slightly at peace in had a few very well dressed gentlemen and ladies, smooth hairstyles, elegant dresses and hand backs, canes to go for the men. They were bubbly too, talkative, lively, just not as irritating, she gathered they were going to New Coventry City.
During the today she had been organisating in the back room of the depot, making sure her clients' orders were in place, and taking down the orders she had missed and found in a pile behind her door. "Uh" Rúna sighed, like her attempts to get this distillation apparatus had failed for the hundredth time. She spun her hair round with narrowed brows as she looked down at the shelves beneath her counter for something that could help. Running her finger along the edges, her other hand was placed on the top of the counter above her to stop her from falling. She then managed to find what she was looking for, swiping it carefully in her hand and standing back up, Rúna pushed away the bunsen burner to make room. She then placed a red stone in it's place, concentrated fire energy. Then she heard a knock on the door. Looking over she noted how the window had that distinct afternoon light. The door was a typical iron door, it fitted in with the overall look of the Depot.
She wondered who it could be, she got the bulk of her customers during the middle of the day. She waited a moment, hand on her hip and expected someone to open the door but it seemed like whoever it was they weren't. Before she went to the door she made sure to give a little blow on the stone, and it began to glow a warm orange colour. At the door, she pulling the handle and the heavy door slowly swung open with Rúna on the other side, greeting the customer with "How can i-", she then realised who it was. "Lucas" she then said, surprised.
And oh, I know, the world of Real Emotion Has surrounded me I won't give into it Now I know, that world It is the only way my heart can go I hear your voice calling out to me You'll never be alone
If from time to time It's an upward climb All I know is that I must believe Cause the truth I'm seeking Always was inside of me
When the owner finally open the door Lucas face grew a bright red it was Runa's shop he had no idea. Uh, Runa I wasn't expecting you to be the owner Runa this is a surprise indeed placing his hand's behind his head he was relaxed and calm. How have you been since the last time we meet also can I come in? The young man was smiling things have changed for the better a unexpected friend was at the door. Lucas wanted to see her shop up close an d personal time to learn something new. Lucas was thinking about how hot she was but, he knew she was way older then him.
Occ: Sorry this post was small I needed more to work with lol And I didn't want him to bust up in her house/shop lol.
Far beyond the hazy borders of my heart I can see a place It's something like this Every now and then I don't know what to do Still I know that I Can never go back
((thats fine, it's only one-liners that are irritating))
When Lucas spoke up, she let go of the door and placed both hands on her hips as she replied "I did mention this was my place" in a dull tone. She saw his boyish charm and relaxed body language as he threw his hands behind his head, and turning around to walk back to her counter she listened to what he had to say, this time, a lot less was coming from his mouth. "I've been working" she said calmly, now behind her counter and leaning with both hands resting firmly on her side of it. "I'm actually distilling that venom right now" she then said, her head tilting beside her where the chemical reactions were taking place, a burner, some vials and so on in place.
"Is this your first time in Neutral City?" she asked.
And oh, I know, the world of Real Emotion Has surrounded me I won't give into it Now I know, that world It is the only way my heart can go I hear your voice calling out to me You'll never be alone

When she replied in a dull tone that only made him grin and shake his head Sorry I forgot I was too busy looking around town ..this place is really different when she walked away he was hesitant to go in but, step inside. The place was really neat and it had a certain charm and smell about it...a woman's touch. wow the shop was full of things some items he recognized others he did not. Jars set up neatly with monster parts inside of them. When his gaze rested upon her smooth face she told him that she was distilling the venom.
I'd like to see it how you do it I mean everyone has their own way of distilling venom.. think you can give me a few pointers? Truth be told he never distilled venom before and he was very much interested in learning how it was done. He placed his hands into his pockets as she asked him if this was his first time in the Neutral city. Yeah this one..I spent sometime looking around today I saw everything well... almost he went back and closed the door politely. So how long have you had this shop its really nice did you build it from scratch? It looks like it has a woman touchLucas walked over to the monster parts in jars observing them closely.
When he was done looking he faced her one more question how long have you been hunting monsters? Lucas was wise enough to not ask a woman their age they seemed to flip when you do. His eye's rested on hers as he was eager to hear what she had to say his expression was calm and strong.
Far beyond the hazy borders of my heart I can see a place It's something like this Every now and then I don't know what to do Still I know that I Can never go back
She could see how much Lucas seemed to be enjoying the depot, filled with unfamiliar goods in jars and boxes. By the time he had looked around and came face to face with her, she raised a brow at his question. She looked at the now bubbling venom and said "i guess using a fire stone helps". That stone was really doing it's thing, and no naked flame either, what a nice touch. After he had politely closed the door, she continued to lean on her counter. "uh" she sighed, digging through her memories to work out how long she'd been. "I bought it not long after leaving Hope Academy" she scratched her head as she thought further. "I then just started my business, and no one else had one like mine in Neutral City, so it thrived i guess." she then turned to change a few adjustments to the apparatus before it started boiling to aggressively.
Meanwhile she was listening to what he was asking in the background. "I've been hunting since i started my work. You could say ever since i started Hope back in the day". Going to Hope was like her first milestone, the place to design your own weapons and specialise in fighting to defend yourself, alongside helping others and developing in lessons that are also mandatory, like some history and maths and whatnot. She knew that Merlin academy was never going to be the place for her... they were just too... scholarly there. And Asmodius College was for soldiers... and back in her time, when it might have been an option, Ravencrest wasn't even accessible.
And oh, I know, the world of Real Emotion Has surrounded me I won't give into it Now I know, that world It is the only way my heart can go I hear your voice calling out to me You'll never be alone

Lucas heard her replies about how long she had been a hunter he was hoping for a number but, this was fine. He heard stories about hope academy it sparked recognition in his eye's . Lucas put his left index finger under his chin as if to think Hope Academy I've heard stories about it never been there before they say the people who come out of there...are fierce. Yes all that training the students must endure must have been rough but, worth it the price of power is priceless. Fire stone? he wondered what that was is it a magic stone that produced heat are some fancy rock used to make fire?
um...i'm not familiar with fire stones he gave a helpless chuckle and scratched the back of his head. Then she talked about how she started a business that flourished because of its uniqueness. Congratulations most independent business fail you manger to beat the odds so what does that say about you? he gave her a wink and a smile. The fruit of hard labor pays off almost all the time his voice was deeper for that moment before going back to lighter and relaxed.
Lucas pulled up a chair and plopped down before her mind if I sit? he asked rather calmly. When she spoke of hunting back in the day he could guessed that she was about ten years or more older than himself. I wonder if it was any different then it is right now. He gave her a sly grin If you want to ask me anything go ahead I've been throwing questions at you for a while now its your turn he finished that sentence by crossing his arms over his chest.
Lucas started to contemplate about them traveling together if he succeed in recruiting her they would be unstoppable! I know you must be itching to learn about this young man with his strange garb. And with that he gave her a charming smile one full of friendship and confidants!
Far beyond the hazy borders of my heart I can see a place It's something like this Every now and then I don't know what to do Still I know that I Can never go back
Fierce? she thought, that's one way to put it. She didn't proceed to speak about Hope however, he knew interest was in that of the fire stone. "It releases energy in the form of heat, it can be used to make fires too" she said, watching him scratch his head she wondered what he would say now. She didn't quite understand what he was going on about next, she gathered it must have been a compliment. "Hm" she cheaply exhaled, crossing her arms now, as he went to get a chair and drag it over, pulling it into place and asking if it would be okay. At first she blindly stared and finally lifted a hand and waved it as she said "yeah" and turned to look at her reaction going on beside her, "that's fine" almost as if she was only half paying attention.
Now it was her opportunity to ask questions was it? She'd better take the moment whilst it lasts. She turned to face him again and leaned back against the wall behind her. She did give him a second look over with the mention of the outfit, it was still strange and she was still convinced he had something to do with the druids or something. The confidence this guy showed was somewhat off the scale, and he liked nothing more than a good conversation thus far. There isn't much she really wanted to know about him at the moment, for now, he was just another guy who had wandered into her life, a mysterious boy at that, but of what need was he to her?
Once he had finished talking she did make it clear to ask "Then where do you come from, and what do you do for a living?" she asked.

Lucas listen to her speak in that somewhat cold yet sexy voice. She spoke about how the fire stone released heat,and that it was used to make fire as well. Its much easier than rubbing two sticks together but, the rewards are the same he replies calmly showing his interest. Lucas watched as it took her sometime to answer his question and he wondered if her social skills were lacking. Did she forgot he told her where ehe was from Morning Dew a small village on the fringes of neutral city remember? Lucas smirked at her next question I'am a adventurer like my grandfather,a craftsman,treasure hunter and a monster hunter.
The jobs keep things from getting boring and their is always something new over the horizon. The last sentence carried strength to it his really passionate about his work. Then he says Your not very talkative why is that? I think I can help I'd like you to be my partner. Lucas stood up strong and tall he still wore his calm smile. I'am a man I may look young but, I'am actually eighteen years old Lady Rúna .
I think if we teamed up we would have the time of our lives I've seen what you can do even if it was just one move. You're strong and I'am as well together we can turn your business into something greater Lucas held a close fist to his chest he was determined. Lucas was acting his age now and it showed. I don't expect you to say yes right away so, i'll give you sometime to think about. Mean while I need to get something after we're done chatting something I made. When he was done with his grand and epic speech Lucas sat down with a strong expression.
Lucas was hoping the answered would come soon the both of them taking on the wilds who knows how far they would go, who knows what treasure they would find, and who knows what secrets they would uncover.The possibilities were endless really. The more he spent time with her the less he saw her as just another pretty face. He wanted nothing more than to be her friend and maybe just maybe her apprentice. Soon the idea of kissing her faded from his mind completely . A warm breeze headed their way carrying change that could benefit them both.
After all the boy could craft wonderful figures that along side her business BOOM Instant growth.
Occ: This sounds like fun I can see the tow of them exploring going out to fight powerful creatures collecting, exploring, etc sounds like fun. it paints a pretty picture in my mind lol.
Far beyond the hazy borders of my heart I can see a place It's something like this Every now and then I don't know what to do Still I know that I Can never go back
Oh, yeah, she forgot he ever mentioned where he came from. Morning Dew, it rang a bell, maybe she had an order from there one time or something. But an adventurer, with the blood of one too. That got her curiosity, but craftsman, treasure hunter and monster hunter hey? Now he has Rúna's attention. She slowly began to raise her head as if to be intently listening to what he had to say. However, him questioning how talkative she is, that shocked her, but she didn't let it show. She replied with "I don't talk to people i don't know, it's just my habit". He then went on to say how he was a man, and at the moment she was finding it harder to believe, but his age surprised her. Perhaps she was wrong about Lucas, maybe it was the name he chose to go by, something about Mephisto was far more intimidating.
Then he wanted to team up, he was straight to the point he was, but so was she, just in different manners. Rúna was like a dagger soaring through the air to finally get to where it wanted to be as quickly as possible, Lucas was exactly that, but with ice cream on top. Seeing how passionate he was about this, seeing that fist to his chest, she gathered he must have been pretty serious, and had thought this through thoroughly. Her eyes seem to close half-way as she tilted her head and thought about it, he meanwhile was explaining what he didn't expect of her. Once he sat down she finally slipped out "Okay".
There was a brief pause, and then she went on to say "I think it's a good idea" and she even broke a smile for him. Adventure... she hadn't done that properly in perhaps ten years. "We could do bounties, find rewards, maybe even find the rarest items to use and sell. Materials can be found all over the place. And, ultimately. You could have a 'proper' job... here" she teased, looking down to him with a very small smirk on her lips. She was excited about this, she had something to do, and even felt like she had a purpose to do thsi again now.
((lucas has made this sound more exciting now xD))

Hearing all her words at that moment made him smile softly he had to it was a milestone reached. If you spend enough time around me you'll become a regular chatter box he softly laughs it was soft joke but it was the truth. Mephisto listen to her words and they came as a shock to him he wasn't expecting her to say yes...maybe not even a maybe but, she said yes. The young man crossed his arms and leans back look at her with a grin taking it all in. Thank you very much this means a lot to me lady Rúna.
When she gave him a smile he blushed and looked away for a minute before composing himself; he looked back to her straight in the eye's. In another life and if I was just a bit older... those were his private thoughts and just that thoughts. When she spoke of them finding treasure,bounties, and items a like his eye's lite up with recognition. Now you're speaking my language ...and look at you that is what i'm talking about. We will be the best in the business I won't fail you.. I promise.
Mephisto still had his arms crossed cool like but, his expression was soft and genuine. When she said he would get a proper job here he laughs happily but, not too loud are obnoxiousness just the opposite. Don't worry i'll be the best damn worker you ever hadwith that he stood up strong and unfolded his arm. You can...call me Mephisto from now on...no use in trying to hide it with a nickname if we're going to be friends and partners Mephisto is the true him his mature side the man that was made from hard work,blood and sweat.
He suddenly said what will you like to do now if you're too busy are tired I can come back in the morning,and we can find some work for us? Or I can help you deliver your goods all across town either way it works for me. His voice was deeper and stronger he sounded more like a man than a teen. He needed to show her he wasn't just some kid and not because he had feelings for her either he had to discard it. As a partner/friend she needed to trust him and now that he would have her back no matter what.
Far beyond the hazy borders of my heart I can see a place It's something like this Every now and then I don't know what to do Still I know that I Can never go back
((Sorry I've been doing college work all afternoon))
And in that moment she thought perhaps she might get along okay with... Mephisto. He chuckled, if not, guffawed after commenting on how chatty she may become, she could only comment with "You'll be surprised" before he thanked her for letting him work with her. "Well i hope so" she said "It ain't cheap running this place" she then let her eyes lurk around the room as she thought of the costs. He then told her not to worry, he'd be the best worker, and she hoped he would! And she didn't doubt him, either, as young and mischievous as he looked, she could tell he was a man of his word. "And you can just call me Rúna" she replied, with a small smile, her eyes telling him that she wouldn't require the title of 'lady'.
"Well, for now i'm just waiting for this venom to distil, after that it's clear up and go home for the evening. " pausing for a moment she repeated herself and said "Or go upstairs, anyway. If you want i can show you out back, if your gonna work with me you may as well know the place, hey? Then we'll see what's to do in the morning" she said, with a thumbs up. She even gestured towards the doorway behind her, and then proceeded to pull up the part of the counter that also acted as a gate to stop anyone from getting behind the counter.
And oh, I know, the world of Real Emotion Has surrounded me I won't give into it Now I know, that world It is the only way my heart can go I hear your voice calling out to me You'll never be alone
