Local police have been patiently awaiting the arrival of the wizards that responded to their request for help finding the we hereabouts of two missing boys. Standing to attention, they greet the two Sabertooth members with relief on their faces. Glad to have a notoriously powerful guild on their side, despite the rumours of destructive behaviour. The sheriff informs them of the situation in more detail than the poster provided, "Thank you for coming, we greatly appreciate it. As you know, we requested you to help us find two missing boys. Their names are Milo and Tyson, both eight years old, both from non-magic families. They were taken within 48 hours of each other and in both places they were reported to be last seen there were traces of magic energy in the area. That's why we needed help. Even if we find the people that took the boys, if they use magic, we're at an instant disadvantage without any wizards fighting on our side," he said, taking a breath before continuing, "When we asked around several people said there were a few strangers in the area claiming to just be passing by. It's strange because we don't get many visitors and there's nowhere significant that you could really use us as a mid-way point for," he said with a tone of confused questioning, clearly not having figured out the reasoning yet, "Anyway, we can give you all the help and back-up you need and we would like you to give us regular updates on your findings. Also, if you can, please try to bring in the culprits fairly unharmed. I'm aware that Sabertooth has a strong sense of justice, but the law must take them for this to be a successful mission. Do you have any questions?" he asked.

OOC: Ok guys, as well as an exciting new job, this is a test for using the new battle system. An example battle will be posted on the battle rules before your fight begins for you to have a skim over to understand the basics in action.
You must first observe your targets and form a plan before eventually facing your opponents who will be 2 A-class wizards. I will be matching people to their opponents during roleplay. This job only requires a posting order outside of battle. Once a fight begins between yourself and an opponent, it's a one-on-one unless you move on to help someone else after defeating your own opponent.

Stepping onto solid ground once more, Ymir stretched her arms above her head and waited for Selma and Xerxes to exit their transport, "Did the parfum work?" she asked, looking at the young dragon slayer closely, "You don't look as green as you normally do after a long journey." Following the map on her phone, she lead the way through the small town to the police station. Approaching the police officers in the lobby, Ymir returned their greeting and listened carefully to the information they gave. The boys were non-magic and were potentially taken by wizards. That posed a lot of odd questions, but first she needed basic questions to be answered, "I have to say, that's not an awful lot to go on. Did anyone have descriptions of these people? They must have stayed in a hotel somewhere, right? Perhaps you found something that you can get fingerprints off of? I assume you've done more than just chat to some people and take notes," she questioned bluntly, hoping for more information on the potential culprits. With technology today, even for a small town there should have been a magic energy scanner that picked up the levels, allowing some idea of the strength of their opponents. If the police had slacked off on their work, expecting Ymir and Selma to solve everything, it would pose a very big problem. They were wizards, not detectives.
The travel to Ligonier was long and Selma felt sick all the way till the end, until Ymir gave her the parfum she told her about. She did feel better but that didn't change her bad mood much. Once they arrived and exit their transport, Ymir asked her how she felt and if the parfum worked, also commented on how her color was normal compared to other times she had traveled. "I may not look as green now but that does not mean I enjoyed it" She said half-hearted. They continued to find the police officers that would fill them up regarding their job. Selma followed Ymir without saying anything more. Once they arrived the police officers turned to Ymir and filled her in regarding the job. Selma stayed quiet and listened to what they had to say and to what Ymir had to reply to them.

The officers began to look uncomfortable under Ymir's icy glare. They had definitely made themselves sound incompetent as investigative employees of the law. The sheriff clearly his throat, "Uh, well, as a small town we have very limited resources but we do have basic profiles of both boys plus descriptions of the main suspects given by the people who came across them during their stay. As for fingerprints, they paid on a disposable money exchange card and it was contactless. It seems like they went to incredible lengths to prevent us from knowing who they were. We searched their given names on databases and we're pretty sure they were fake names with addresses that don't exist," he said, sighing, "Everything we know is in this file. I'm sorry there isn't more," he said apologetically, handing Ymir a small folder.

Ymir did her best not to roll her eyes. Limited resources weren't an excuse in this day and age. You could use sellotape to lift a fingerprint these days. She swiped the file out of the Sheriff's hand, "I suppose this will have to do. Thank you," she sighed, shoving the file into her bag. She would read it later, "Come on, Selma, let's go and find the hotel these people were staying at. We're going to get a room there and do some of our own investigations," she said to the young dragon slayer, "And we're going to put that dragon sense of smell to good use," she smiled slightly, poking Selma's nose. Leading the way through the town, Ymir followed the directions to the hotel in which the suspects stayed in during their brief visit, "Can I help you?" the receptionist asked. "Hi, yes, you can help us. We're in need of a room," she replied, "Actually, two rooms, one of them being a very specific room. We're from Sabertooth. Your police force requested us to find the missing boys from this area. We want the room that the tourists who visited your town recently rented as they're our prime suspects and we would like to take a look for ourselves," she requested before paying a two-day fee for the suspect rooms and a week for their own before leaving the lobby, "We will be staying in one room and the other will be our investigative grounds," she explained as she ascended the stairs, making her way towards room 11, the room previously used by the suspects. Upon entering, Ymir wrinkled her nose as the strong spell of cleaning products assaulted her senses, "Ugh. I'm not a dragon slayer but even I can smell that this room has been cleaned within an inch of its life. Can you pick up anything?" she asked Selma.
Selma didn't speak as the police officers and Ymir were talking but, unlike Ymir who could restrain herself, Selma did roll her eyes with what she heard from the officers, but did turn so that they would not see her"Behave yourself Selma, you are infront of officers of the law" Xerxes whispered to the young dragon slayer"I know, I know, but still, that does not make it better... Worse even" She replied to the exceed with a whispering voice. As the officers finished their report, they gave Ymir a small folder. Then, Ymir turned to Selma and told her that they had to go, telling her that they are going to put her sense of smell to good use, while poking her nose. "Hey, I'm not a dog..." She said, but Xerxes looked at her with a stern look and Selma ended her phrase there. "But I guess I could be of use that way" She said after a small pause and followed Ymir. The three of them headed to athe hotel that the suspects were said to reside while they were staying in town. Ymir asked for two rooms, one for her and Selma and the room of the suspects. After she recieved the keys to the rooms, she immediately headed to the room. When they entered the room Selma's nose tickled "Aaa-Aaaa-AAACHOOO" She sneezed. "s**t, that was bad..." She said as she wiped her nose. "Well, let's see..." She said as she started focusing on her sense of smell. Her nose was filled with smells of cleaning products, making it really hard for her to make out any smells."How about you check the wardrobe? Even if it is cleaned, it is probable that the suspects' smell is still in there" Xerxes suggestedSelma looked at the black exceed and then walked to the place it suggested. Xerxes' ideas usually work so she decided to follow it. She opened the wardrobe and the smell of deodorant, probably the one that the suspects used. After she closed the wardrobe she managed to pick up the smell coming from somewhere else. She followed the smell and she managed to pick up the lid of a deodorant can from under the bed. She picked it up and walked to Ymir. "Well, this is as much as I could find. I remember the deodorant's smell so if I happen to pick it up in the future while we are here I will tell you. I hope we can work with this right now" She said after giving Ymir the lid

Whilst the young dragon slayer got to work on sniffing for clues, Ymir scanned the rest of the room. She opened drawers, checked the bedsheets, looked in the bathroom cupboards. Everything was clean, "But why? Why so clean? I'm sure no one else's rooms smell this strongly of cleaning products, there would be complaints. So why this room? Any thoughts?" she asked, trying to think of a reason behind such bizarre behaviour. However she was distracted by Selma's discovery, "A deodorant lid? Hmm, good job. It doesn't seem much but humans are creatures of habit," she said thoughtfully, "Even a criminal wanting to escape probably wouldn't think to change something as common as a deodorant. The lid is slightly warped which suggests it wasn't a new bottle so the scent should be elsewhere." Ymir massaged the bridge of her nose, "Let's go to our own room and figure out a plan," she ordered before leading the way out of the room and locking it. Once in their own room, Ymir unpacked a few items, still going over reasoning in her mind, "Selma, tell me, am I the only one that finds it very strange that a room that was the focus of a police investigation only a few days ago would be scrubbed within an inch of its life? It doesn't make sense to me. This room is clean but it doesn't smell strong," she sighed loudly before perching on the edge of one of the beds, "Do you think perhaps it was intentional? I mean, of course you have to clean a room after a guest has used it so it's nice for the next person, but do you think someone purposely went all out for more than just cleanliness?" she pondered aloud. Maybe someone was coerced into being so thorough. It was a possibility the suspects demanded this. Or that they did it themselves. Though after kidnapping the two boys, it was doubtful they would have time to scrub down an entire hotel room. It was odd and something definitely wasn't right but she needed to know what Selma and Xerxes thought of the situation and their views on what might have happened.
As Selma was looking, or maybe smelling, around the room, Ymir was also trying to find some clues, throwing questions to Selma and Xerxes. Selma was not one for thought and Xerxes was lost in thought for that time, also wondering the same things as the wind mage. After Selma found the lid and passed it to Ymir the three of them went over to their room to think more carefully about what they found and what has happened. Once they entered their room and started unpacking, Ymir continued with sharing her thoughts with the Dragon Slayer and Exceed duo. Xerxes, as the brain of the two, was the one to reply"I strongly believe it was intentional. There is the possibility that the suspects cleaned the room and as it was left clean as new, the staff didn't really bother to go over it, and so the lid was still there. I doubt that the lid would have been left behind should the room had been cleaned by the hotel staff. The other possibility is that the one to clean the room was bribed to clean the room and use strong smelling cleaning products but that would mean they had a clue that someone with a strong smell would be coming... Unless they did it for the police dogs..." Xerxes said and fell silent for a moment, trying to analyze what he could "If we could find what kind of cleaning products were used, for example if there were ones that do not belong to the hotel, we could start by there... Also, the first thing that we should do for now is ask for a description of the suspects and the hotel staff is the best to give such descriptions, as they were the last residents of that room. They are recent enough to get a pretty accurate description" The black exceed continued before falling silent againSelma did not speak while Xerxes was sharing his thoughts with the two mages as she could not think as far ahead as he furry friend. She was looking at the other two, changing her focus quickly from one to the other, not really knowing what to say

Ymir listened intently to Xerxes' theory on the cleanliness of the hotel room, "I believe that if the suspects had cleaned it themselves, the staff here would have found it very strange and mentioned it in the report. However, it makes no mention of anything like that and the police didn't bring it up either. If I were the police, that would be one of the key things I would put into the briefing," she said with a frown, "Which means it's most likely your second thought, one I also considered; the staff must have been coerced into doing it. It could have been to throw off the police dogs though I can't say I saw any evidence of a dog unit at the station. It does pose a question; how do you convince a member of staff to do such a task? Perhaps a threat or money?" she said thoughtfully, "I doubt we need to check what cleaning products were used to confirm whether or not it was the staff. Even if it was the suspects who cleaned it, they would have borrowed the supplies from here anyway. Though, I see no harm in checking," she said, turning to look at Selma, "Will you do the honours? Have a little sniff around our room, tell me if they've used the same scents but not as strong as the suspects room," she requested, "Once confirmed we can read through the file and make a plan for who to talk to and where to go first."

Ymir said her thoughts as Xerxes made his assumptions. Selma was just listening to the two trying to figure out what happened and how to find the suspects. After a while Selma was lost to her thoughts and when Ymir asked her a question she flinched for a moment, trying to figure out what she said. When she realized the question she answered. "Well, there are certainly similar odors in both rooms, but the most prominent was clearly different...". After a couple of seconds after Selma finished her answer, Xerxes made his point "There is a possibility that the suspects came afterwards and cleaned the room again, possibly using the product, or products, that produced the smell. It may sound too much, but the suspects could have had another person in the hotel, in a different room. This way they could have made a copy of the key to their room so that, after they left, the one in the other room took the kay and cleaned again after the hotel staff finished their job" Xerxes said waiting for Ymir's reply and thoughtsSelma looked at the exceed. He always surprised her with his little brain and what he could make out or say, It was clear that she is not as bright as he is, and it was made clear long ago, but she is still amazed by her little friend

Ymir nodded thoughtfully upon Selma's confirmation of similar products being used to clean the room but screwed her nose up at Xerxes theory of two rooms being used, "Seems too complicated," she said. For a moment, she quietly flicked through the file, scribbling down extra notes as she scanned the pages before handing the file to the young dragon slayer, "I think we should question the manager of the hotel," she suggested, "Come," she grabbed the back of Selma's shirt and gently pulled her all the way back to the lobby, releasing her once they got to the desk. She leaned over the counter and stared down at the woman behind the desk with her icy eyes, "Excuse me, would your manager happen to be in today? I was hoping to have a word," she requested.

Btw your current date is 25/03/2017 [bWThe text in blue is Ymir's written notes
Ymir just nodded to Selma's words and just commented on Xerxes' theory, saying it was too complicated. After that, Ymir took the case fille and looked at it for some time before turning her attention to Selma. "Everything alr...?" Selma didn't manage to finish her sentence, as Ymir grabbed her nd pulled her with her. It was gentle, but enough for Selma to stop talking and follow her. The two magess and the exceed reached the lobby. There, Ymir asked for the manager and Selma just looked curiously at the wind mage

The receptionist looked into Ymir's icy eyes uneasily, "O-ok,mill be fit back", she stammered, standing and rushing through the 'STAFF ONLY' door behind her. A few moments later, a smartly dressed man appeared, "Hi, my receptionist said that you requested to see me, is there something I can help you with?" he asked cheerfully.
