OOC: Boy, you never read any of Kasei's actual battles yet, have you. I read the first part of this, and these guys seem familiar. . . kinda remind me of cell sky, actually.

IC: After finishing his handshake, Kasei listened to the warning. He couldn't help but smile. So, it's one of "those", eh? "You have clearly never faught me before, so you wouldn't know, that i'm good at what I do; eliminating threats. I've been doing it for many years, what makes you think they can beat someone with enough experience to teach a newborn god?" He asked slyly, and then heard Aidens timid suggestion. "A drink? Why not? I love drinks!" He said joyously.

Kuro thought over the idea carefully. "That's a good idea, but what if they're in one of the rooms? It is an inn after all," he explained. "It's not likely that they would be drinking either since they're smart enough to realize that we would be after them, and wouldn't want to get drunk." Kuro's head began to hurt. He wasn't used to thinking this much. Maybe they could blow up the inn and get this all over with. That would kill too many people though. "Maybe we should go into the inn right now to find 'em," he suggested.

OOC: I based the assassins from three villains from Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean. The assassins were intended to be just as hard to beat as the characters they're based off of.

OOC: Do you mean Giacomo and those other two?

IC: "Owh..How exciting this is I can't wait! For to long have i been reading books in a dusty old castle room. For to long have i heard the complaints of an old man! It is time for some aaaaactioooooon!" Edward was gone in his own little world again but in a flash he realised something. "But..there is still a little matter that we cannot deny! These people or very strong, if we go around fighting in a tiny bedroom....it would not be very comfortable."

OOC: Those three are exactly who I'm talking about.

IC:Before Kuro could speak, Doboroku chimed in. "They might not be in a room. When the place was built, it was originally a hideout for thieves, and there was a secret hideout in one of the rooms," he explained. "But, for some reason, they decided to keep it there. That's most likely where they would be," he said. It made sense to Doboroku that they would hide there. Most people had forgotten about it. The time when thieves hid there was long gone.

Luna stood in the shadows, carefully observing the group. She heard talk about going after assassins, who were apparently quite challenging. She wasn't very interested, until she overheard talk of an old thieve's hideout in the nearby inn. A thieve's hideout, hmm... I wonder if they left behind any hidden treasure when they left? Or maybe there are bounties on these assassins? Ooh, the possibilities, she thought.
"Kumori," she whispered to her companion, "What do you think?"

"Why not?" He yawned. Kumori was bored, and thought a battle would be a nice warm-up.

Her mind made up, Luna strode out of the shadows and met up with the group. "Sounds like you have quite a problem," she said casually, like she had no idea that she had just intruded. "You know, you could always draw them into the open. Or maybe even a trap.... The possibilities are endless. You wouldn't want to fight inside a building, would you? Confined spaces can be tougher to battle in."

"What? No! I just wanna go get a drink! Can't a guy go get one drink and a smoke in before some kind of trouble appears?" Kasei asked sarcastically to the group. "No. If it's in my opinion, the confined space is better, because then the opponent has fewer places to manuever, wheras I can easilly use the small space to my advantage." He said, pointing to his right eye.

"On a different note, don't I know you from somewhere? When I look at you, I seem to think of the carpenters." He asked to Doboroku.

OOC: He's one of the carpenters, right? from OOT?

Kuro listened to Kasei and Luna's ideas and thought them both over for a minute. "An enclosed space is good for some things, but an open area can also be good," he said. "In an enclosed area, the enemy can't move around much, but neither can we. In an open area, they could escape, and we don't want that to occur," he explained.

Doboroku had been listening intently to people's suggestions when Kasei asked him something. "No, I'm not a carpenter. I have helped in building things though," he explained to Kasei.

Edward took a few steps back, his face a bit pale. "Oh Nooo! It's you again! Waaah!" He yelled pointing a finger at Luna, like he accusing her of something terrible. "You chased me didn't you! You followed me all the way up here! All because of your envy...You are not going to eat me are you !? ARE YOU!! NO NO NO..not..I won't accept that!" He cowardly stepped away from the newcomer and hid behind Kasei.
"Protect me Kasei! That Woman over there is dangerous...she will eat me!"

OOC: I hope Luna does remember him,.... maybe I should finish that topic...

Luna was puzzled by the sudden outburst. She stared at the shouting man, trying to remember where she knew him from. It finally hit her, "Oh my gosh, you're the screaming guy that bumped into me the other day! That woman was chasing you, and you hit me, and then I..... and then we...." She trailed off. "What are you doing here?"

"And sorry, I don't eat wierdos. They taste funny." She grinned maliciously, just to mess with Edward.

Kasei nodded as Kuro tried to sway against going inside. "Exactly, but you must not have heard me. Perhaps you should stay outside. I have a unique spell that is extremely handy in small areas. Plus, like you said, you may have a hard time fighting in enclosed spaces. I won't.

He was distracted, however, when Edward ducked behind him like a scared 4-year old girl. "What's your problem? You a child?"

Kuro was a bit confused at what was going on in front of him. Edward was afraid of her eating him? That's weird, he thought to himself. Kuro thought about this, but his thoughts stopped as he listened to Kasei. Kuro didn't have too hard of a time fighting in enclosed areas, but it wasn't easy for him. "We can't exactly be sure of the size of the area. It can't be too small if it was designed for groups of thieves to meet in," he explained.

Aiden had remained quiet and shy on the edge of the group. Her head was bent as she listened to the conversations flow. She didn't even lift her gaze, in fact her bright eyes were closed. Her breathing was even and she pondered on all that was said. In the end it would have to be Kuro's choice, this was his mission, they were just all here to help. Softly she hummed to herself, a song that spoke of the Royal house and Sheikahn bonds, it helped her to think. She thought of her home, her mother in particular, and thought of all the stories she had heard.. Here she was living one. A real true history making story. With realization she inhaled sharply and lifted her head.

Her eyes were wide and she looked at the group. None of them looked like.. well expected. Some of them even looked slightly silly. And here they were off topic, it almost enraged her. They were out here living what some people dreamed of, they were making a difference in Hyrule... "Can we get back on topic? That is if you two are done wit your silly little flirting? Mr. Kasei this isn't about getting a drink. AND Kuro, are you ready to make your choice?" Her tone was sharp and stern, but not really angry. Still, it was different than normal, she was not being meek or childish, but a leader.. and a bossy one. Licking her lips she realized this, blushed, went quiet, and mumbled an apology. She was ready to try and take her revenge for her own pride.

Kuro was startled at Aiden's sudden outburst. She had been so silent that Kuro didn't expect it. He soon composed himself and made up his mind. "Let's go on in," he said as he turned to the door and opened it. He walked through the door to a bar at the front. Straight across from him was a fat bartender with black facial hair and stained clothes. There were a few drunks talking about random things and a Zora, Deku, and Goron playing what seemed like a completely made up game.

The Zora showed the Goron 5 cards accompanied with him declaring victory.

"What do you mean you won?" the Goron asked.

"I have a full house! All you've got is a lousy pair of checkers! Plus, my queen has your bishop ready to convert!" the Zora replied.

Kuro tried to ignore this silly group as he approached the bartender. "Did a group of three people come here by any chance? One female and two males?" he asked as he leaned against the counter.

The bartender looked up at Kuro. "Yes. Why?"

"I need to see them," Kuro replied.

"Sorry," he said. "They don't want any visitors. I'm afraid I can't let you see them."

"But I need to!" Kuro said, attracting the attention of several people, and interrupting the weird game that was being played.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to see them. I must respect their wishes," he said. His tone was beginning to turn angered.

Kuro ran his hand through his hair and groaned. How would he get in there now? Maybe the bartender could be convinced somehow...

"I'm not a child nor a weirdo! Why can't you farmers see true royalty when it's right in front of your noses." He yelled pointing his accusing finger at the whole group." You are all scheming to subdue true beauty, are you not!? Well I can not let such a charade continue any further, and make myself degrade to your low level!" After his speech Edward followed Kuro into the pub, but suddenly stopped in front of the building. His eyes glanced to Luna for just a moment with a most malicious gaze. "You stay a way from me, as long you can not see the difference between a true gentleman and a local drunk, then you arn't even worth breathing the same air as I do!...hmph."

He continued inside and A smile appeared on his face once again, as he saw the variety of liqueurs on the menu. "Kuro! Kuro..." He rushed to bar. "Let me have drink please...Owh please I beg you ..I'm so thirsty, and haven’t had the taste of a good wine in days. Please, you just got to let me..!"

Well someone's full of himself, Luna thought, frowning. Kasei was right, he does act like a kid. A self-centered, bratty, little kid. Shaking her head, she followed Kuro into the inn, hanging back to look like she wasn't a part of the group. She pretended to be interested in the game that was being played, all the while keeping an eye on what was happening at the front.
