[ as the mist dissipated masane had found herself collapsed just outside an alley in town. ] ...riko... [ it's but a whisper tumbling from her lips as she starts to come to. her head is spinning and the world around her is but a colorful blur. had things been that bad the other night ...? she swallowed hard and made an attempt to recall what had happened as she struggled to sit upright. her arms buckled under her, however, sending her straight back to the ground. she let out a small simper as she took another second to recollect herself. ]

[ after a few moments more she sat up. she still felt ill, but the feeling had started to subside. taking a deep breath masane called, once again, for her daughter. ] Riko!

[ this. she didn't have time for this! climbing to her feet masane staggered about. she ignored the moogle chirping in her ear and telling her to sit down because of the injuries she'd sustained. that stupid thing had to be a figment of her imagination besides. man oh man... she must have really done it this time. ]

...the hell is going on here?! [ and her grip on the communicator tightened. ] I want answers! Now! [ as she braced herself on a nearby wall her head dropped. tears pricked the ends of her eyes in spite of herself. she needed to find her daughter. she needed to find rihoko. ] ... please... i... i'm looking for somebody.

( ooc | now that the mist is gone masane is now back to normal. she is still a bit disoriented from it and therefore she's confused and scared. and to reiterate, i would appreciate nobody making a connection between her and blade. at least not yet. she will deny it until she's blue in the face besides. )

Hey, don't worry about it. I'm sure you will but it's not a priority. I don't need that house at the moment so you just do your thing. [Please don't cry, Masane. He doesn't like girls that cry.]

【 ACTION 】

[bitchblade]

[ no need to worry, she's not going to cry. she's got everything under control for now. ] Okay. [ all she's doing is making it clear that you're not getting off the hook. ] I guess I'm going to need to get what little I have from the Inn. [ scratches her cheek. ] Not to be a pain, but, uh, mind helping me?

【 ACTION 】

[albinoidiot]

No problem. Might as well show you the house. I haven't been to it in a while myself. [He grabs his sword, sheaths it, and moves on.]

Follow me.

Re: 【 ACTION 】

[bitchblade]

I appreciate it, thanks, ... [ and damn; man with a nice big sword. cut it out masane! side-eyes it as she waits for him to lead the way. ]

【 ACTION 】

[albinoidiot]

[He leads her out the door and towards the street.] During the day I'll be in here. At night, it's my commissioner, her name is Naoto. Cute girl. Takes her job really seriously. During the day she guards our only prison. We're trying to condition this building to be a prison but it's taking some time. She'll be the one you have to talk to.

【 ACTION 】

[bitchblade]

[ nods and she follows alongside dante. ] Prison? [ lifts a brow. and just when she thought this place couldn't get any weirder. she could only imagine who, or what, was in that prison. ] I guess I'll have to wait until this evening then? ...well at least I can get settled in the meantime.

【 ACTION 】

[albinoidiot]

I hope there's no hobo living in there. I haven't checked up on the place. I have another house, I live there with a friend. I bought the police station.

【 ACTION 】

[bitchblade]

[ glares at his back for all of a second. a hobo. ain't that reassuring... the place could be crawling with who knew what. masane shuddered and fell back a few paces. the inn was probably safe, cleaner, and ...shit. she ran a hand through her hair. she was going to have to learn to cook now that riko wasn't here. god, this was going to be disastrous. ] ...so is that why you're the Chief?

【 ACTION 】

[albinoidiot]

I'm the chief because I stepped up for the job. Funny story, never liked cops back home. I guess I'm making up for all the bad deeds I've done.

【 ACTION 】

[bitchblade]

[ chuckles. ] Heh. It's a small world... same here. I never liked them either. [ and she will keep the details to herself, unless, of course, he asks. ]

【 ACTION 】

[albinoidiot]

What did they ever do to you?

【 ACTION 】

[bitchblade]

...tch, the bastards helped the NSWF take my daughter away from me. [ but she'd gotten her back after, of course, making a big scene. ]

【 ACTION 】

[albinoidiot]

You mean like child protective surfaces? They thought you were a bad mother or something?

【 ACTION 】

[bitchblade]

No. It's not that... they'd kicked us out of our home and so I took Riko and we moved elsewhere so that we could, y'know, start over. But apparently they didn't like that. I don't know what the hell they wanted me to do! I even got a new place, new job, ... but they still wouldn't stop. It took forever to convince them to butt out and that we were fine there. tch, And that we didn't need them breathing down our necks.

【 ACTION 】

[albinoidiot]

Cops can be such jerks. [He knew those feels. His best friend Grue was always trying to keep those jerks at the child protective services off.]

Sometimes they just don't see hard work. I'm glad you're devoted to your kid.

【 ACTION 】

[bitchblade]

[ a hardy sigh. ] ...yeah, you're telling me. [ stares down at the ground as they continue along. ] There's nothing I wouldn't do for her.

【 ACTION 】

[albinoidiot]

[He just can't help but give a sad smile.]

That's really nice to hear.

【 ACTION 】

[bitchblade]

[ going to pull out another picture... and this one isn't as scandalous as the last. ] ...yeah...

【 ACTION 】

[albinoidiot]

[He reached for it, taking a moment to see it.] Real cute. Now I really want to meet her.

【 ACTION 】

[bitchblade]

HEY. [ ...hadn't expected that. she bristles for a moment before cooling it. ] ...oh? [ and she looks at him. ] It makes me wonder what she'd think of you. [ a halfhearted chuckle as she pulls out another on. ] Here. Look... this is one of my favorites. [ her bb is so cute. ]

【 ACTION 】

[albinoidiot]

She would love me. Obviously. [A grin.] All the girls love me.

【 ACTION 】

[bitchblade]

[ gives dante a playful shove. ] oh Please.

【 ACTION 】

[albinoidiot]

Hey, I'm serious. Don't give me that look. You think I'm charming too.

【 ACTION 】

[bitchblade]

[ asdfghjkl. and dante gets another push as she looks aside, her face lightly stained in color. ] Don't... Don't be ridiculous.

【 ACTION 】

[albinoidiot]

Look at you turnin' bright red. You're not really good at hiding it.
