WORDS: 500 | In The Clouds  


I’ve never been to a city that’s all stone and silver before… it’s strange? Slim and slender fingers lifting up from the canopy of her cape in order to pull back the hood she was wearing, Mei Matsumoto peered at her surroundings with a silent sense of curiosity as she peeked from the veil which years of habit meant that she still felt most comfortable sporting in unfamiliar company, and narrowed that golden gaze as she took in a city which nestled within the mountains to mix the elements of starkness and splendour together.
Still, this is a good chance to prove myself to Alisa-San, right? Arriving here at the request of the raven who ran the grouping which she was still getting used to, like any dutiful ‘daughter’ this dark haired dish seemed to take the steep road which led from the port city to this metropolis within the mountains, and felt glad both for the fact that she was now clear of the salty air and had something to do which might impress the woman who had welcomed her into her new clan.

Still… I don’t know what to make of him? He seems kind of…? This latter fact seeming to be enough to even compel the tapered trail of fluffiness which bloomed from the base of her spine to sway from side to side from beneath the cloudy cloak which she sported, while this ebony haired enchantress was happy to have the opportunity to make good on the faith which had been shown within her she felt less certain on the choice of chaperone she had been given for her excursion, and frankly this was a fact that she did not know how to feel about.
But he smells… nice, in a weird way? A-Approachable? No, that’s not quite it… Feeling far too shy to engage him too much up to this point and as such more familiar with his aroma than the man behind it, once more did she seem to look toward a figure who was older than her furtively and once more did instinct compel her to drink in the scent he carried as well, which frankly confused her really. It was reassuring but agitating in equal measure, and seemed to ultimately make her feel restless but also intrigued as well.

Wait, this is the first time I’ve been alone with a boy like this…? Barely seeming to hold her eyes upon him for long and certainly seeming to avert them should she run the risk of meeting his gaze as well, after a fleeting glance in his direction she seemed to find a thought occurring in her mind which made her irises widen all the more, and with that seemed to make her feel all manner of flushed and flustered in return.
Is this like… a date? N-No, that’s silly, right…? Completely losing herself in fact as she recognised that this was the very first time she had been in the company of a young man without either her mother present or some greater means to focus on things other than each other, the fox couldn’t help but shiver as she wondered just what others might think if they saw them together like this and found her cheeks growing ever rosier as a result, to the point that she couldn’t help but fidget and shuffle until she felt that hood over her falling more forward and hiding the colour staining her face…

He's been on a binge when it came to quests. He did a few solo, then had to work with a Rune Knight all the way at Luluhawa. Then he came home to the guild where he met a new member and introduced them to the Guild Master. And now Alisa introduced HIM to another new member and told him he had to chaperone this new person on a quest.

Granted Michael accepted the quest as he didnt mind a new foxy friend, but he was certainly taking his grumpy exceed with him who was reading some literature and no doubt interrupted him. Michael didnt mean to pull a dick move, but the exceed was good at questing, so he figured why not.

But back to the present time, to the here and now. Michael sent Samuel away to check ahead and such. So now it was only Michael and his new foxy friend, whose name escapes him for the moment. She didnt say much, but neither did he for the moment. He was a bit perplexed at what to say as he was not used to this whole mentor or senior role. Though he did memorize her scent, which was good just in case they get separated. She had a nice scent. It was very nice. A fellow canine, but in the form of a demi human. But he couldnt just ponder on her smell. He needed to do something

"Soo" ok grand start Michael, use vocabulary. Where was Samuel when you needed him, he had a better lexicon "What inspired you to join Blue Pegasus?" he asked. He felt that was a decent ice breaker and a conversation starter. He wasnt clued in on her circumstances how or why she joined.
His own reasons were less then noble. But he should spin it somehow to sound good.
He also needed to check if she knows what their quest is. Just to see how like she's keeping tabs at stuff and such. But like one at a time. Dont wanna overwhelm the newcomer with stuff and questions. Still, he was surprised they were going on a high level quest. She must be strong, he wondered what kind of magic did she have

Its funny. If someone told him he'd be mentoring a mage at Blue Pegasus a few months back, he would've laughed in your face and called you stupid. But look at him now. A member of Blue Pegasus, taking a newcomer on a quest. He has come a long way from being a homeless nobody. He could hardly believe it

What if he thinks this is a date too? Did Alisa tell him to… The pitfall of the introvert the sheer distance that one could cover internally when given half a chance to allow one’s thoughts to belt along at a brisk mile per minute pace, the golden gaze of our hooded heroine seemed to snap and swerve about as she wondered after the circumstances which had led to this unknown but not untoward soul to be her guide and guardian on her little trip into the mountains, and as the flustered fox began to speculate so rampantly she couldn’t help but allow her mind to go practically supersonic.
Even if she didn’t, mama always said boys tended to… Rushing with such speed that she seemed to disregard even common reason such as the idea that the handsome fellow was one who had earned the largely unconditional trust of the woman in charge and instead open to both presumption and recollection, the vast and barren gulf which represented Mei’s absent experience with the less fair sex meant that estimation and the experience of others were all that this tailed teen could count on, and frankly neither seemed to have the capacity to assure her at the moment, really. Good job someone found a way to distract her then, eh~?

“Oh, it was, because of Alisa-sa…” The beauty with the black mane batting her lashes for a moment as her cohort from the land of flying horses spoke up in an effort to make a little idle small talk, perhaps on some level Miss Miyamoto was glad that he had opted to take such a simple step and found that his question would also prove rather simple for her to answer, though that would only be the case had she not been also stricken with a certain self-awareness of the terms she used which were so alien in these lands, and the further agitation which came with it.
“Miss Alisa… Master Alisa?  Mistress Alisa! S-She saved me?” As such the vixen left to stumble over terminology both for reason of the common tongue they shared and the reverence she felt that she owed her saviour as well, it was easy for the cloaked cutie to explain that she continued to feel no small debt toward the leader of their gathering, but less so to properly clarify exactly how she should address the woman as well. Which, naturally, seemed to only make her blush all the more…

It seemed that the new one wasnt quite certain how to call Alisa. A Mistress, A Master, A Miss. Michael softly chuckled "Yes, she is all that. Well Im glad she saved you and like invited you to the guild." though he wondered why was he chosen to lead this quest. Part of him wondered if she was testing him and his leadership capabilities. It has been a while since he ran a group of misfits. But it was for less noble goals and more hooligan and anarchy like goals. This was a new ball park for him. This quest was also more like high priority or such than all others. It had stakes basically. So he needed to do this right.

"Well, do you know what our quest is today?" he asked, now checking to see if she paid attention to what their quest is. He wasnt sure if this was being mentory and such. But figured it was a decent start, in case she didnt know he can fill her in and tell her what they must do as they travel.

As they were nearing their destination, Michael would see his exceed companion who was waiting for them
"Sup? Hows it going?" Michael asked in his usual casual manner
Meanwhile his exceed was more refined in the way he carried himself and spoke. He replied "There is quite the mess at the Silver District. I couldnt tell who is the aggressor or who is the victim"
Michael facepalmed, then pulled the quest note paper from his sleeve and re read it to make sure he knew what exactly was THEIR quest
"Truth be told. I dont know who is who. Things are quite messy and dangerous in there, so I cant believe Im saying this. But do be careful Doofus"
"We got this!" he told his exceed and looked at the guild member to assure her all is well.

So the two would enter the Silver District and see the riot. Really you couldnt tell who was who. Who's the rich or the poor. It was a mess. You cant tell how it started. Michael wondered how the hell can they break this up.
"I guess we just gotta break up all the fights and help the most vulnerable ones" he said and then moved into action.

WORDS: 500 | In The Clouds  


“Y-You are?” The golden gaze of the fleecy fox seeming to flutter as her companion offered a sense of approval for her new status which she took entirely too seriously, while it was likely true that anyone in these kinds of groups would welcome the infusion of fresh blood Miss Miyamoto took the comment far more personally than it was likely intended to be, and once more found her cheeks glowing as she questioned such affirmation. I mean, she didn’t dislike it, but was amazed all the same given how she was used to most folk avoiding and turning her away, right?
“Do you mind if I also ask… For what reason you joined the guild…?” At the very least appearing to be encouraged by the remark no matter how sizeably it had been intended or otherwise to engage her companion that little bit more, the raven returned his query largely in kind, though did so in a way that both reflected the newness of the language she was speaking and the overall stiffness of the culture from which she hailed as well. It was polite to the max, no?

“Oh, um, I think that Alisa… Mistress wanted us to negotiate with the merchants guild here for…” That being said the timid teen seeming to feel a further sense of astonishment when her new acquaintance asked after their purpose here, Mei couldn’t quite account for him travelling all this way without knowing the reason behind him doing so and wondered if he was just testing her on how much she had been paying attention, though did not quite seem to complete her description before they found their discussion being deterred by the arrival of a diminutive new figure.
A cat…? Is that… His friend? It seeming that her companion was just chocked full of surprises in fact as he began to engage with the bespectacled moggy in a manner which seemed to convey comfort and connection, with those thick rimmed glasses and clerics hat this feline could not have contrasted her chaperone more if he had tried, but in spite of such stark difference their tempo seemed easy-going and something which a shyer soul could only envy.

“R-Right! This direction, yes?” The fleecy fox seeming to be so enraptured by the dynamic that she felt just a little bit caught off guard when next her senior seemed to step up and speak up decisively in regard to the commotion which the cat had mentioned, though she was left blinking for a moment Miss Miyamoto barked in confirmation as Michael told her they would need to intervene, and then paused for a moment as she clarified where they needed to head.
If someone is in danger, there’s not a moment to spare! Barely wasting a moment once she had done so however before she broke into a sprint with swiftness enough to sweep the white cloth from her head and leave her unusual lobes out in open for the world to see, the black mane of the beauty trailed in the wind as she rushed forward with maximum haste, and showed plenty of speed in doing so. I mean, quickness had always been her strong point, right~?

He was unaware and oblivious that his quest partner was fluttering at his approval of her being in the guild. To him that the idea that anyone could be into him was out of the window. Yes, he somehow won over Alisa and her wife. But he also somehow charmed other ladies at Blue Pegasus as well as Paradise Dawn when he visited Orchidia. Michael thought he was set in terms of romances and advances. He wasnt looking at that stuff, not anymore. So he was coincidentally oblivious as to what Mei might feel. But later as time will tell, things would become clear.

Mei asked him why did he join and he tried to word it in a more acceptable way "I didnt at first want to be part of magic guilds. As a non magic man, magic scared me. I declined Alisas invitation, but later her wife convinced me to join after I gave it some thought. As for what swayed me?... I guess I liked the idea of belonging somewhere and having a home. I also feel protected and not alone in the guild? If that makes any sense"
Lust, Belonging and Safety were his reasons. What he told Mei was true, but worded in a nicer manner. Having a home was nice. Being under Blue Pegasus offered him safety from prosecution and the hunt. As well as the Guild Master being there for him if he felt his lycantrope urges taking hold of him for the worst. He was safe and found plenty of love. He was pretty set. Which was funny considering he made fun of the guild before.

He then went to test Mei to see how much attention she had in terms of their mission brief. She was starting well, but their meetup with his exceed whom he sent ahead kind of derailed that whole conversation. As Michael asked Samuel how was it. It turned out things were worse. So much for a negotiation mission. He even had to double check on the paper he had to make sure he wasnt mistaken. But yup, things werent good. The exceed jumped on his shoulder to keep close to him. If the situation was better, he would've properly greeted Mei. But now was quest time so he focused on the mission rather than pleasentries.

As Mei spoke, Michael nodded. He even took her hand or wrist. He didnt check. But he rushed with her, but also make sure they dont get separated. Although soon he'd notice her speed and let her go as she didnt need to be babied. He needed to learn his limits in regards to mentoring someone to not overstep his boundries.
When he saw her speed, part of him wanted to race her. But now was not the time and place. Now was the time for action

Is he… Trying to snatch my hand…? Lurching forward with such enthusiasm that she left her mitts to trail behind her in a manner which focused all the force of her momentum to her feet, the racing raven couldn’t help but notice as she felt something brush past her hand and wrist for a moment as she raced onward, and with the flick of both her head and that golden gaze she spotted a moment of proximity between her palm and that of her partner as well which widened those effulgent eyes especially.
N-No time to think about it now! The foxy femme left to feel fluster because of this mere fact and the sense of familiarity it seemed to breed within her mind, once more Mei found the matter seeming to mushroom within her mind as she wondered just why the man with whom she ran was attempting to reach for her paw, and as such had to force her mind to focus in favour of business rather than other issues for the moment. It was strange, but also, not discomforting?

It looks… Dreadfully one sided! Regardless of this little mix up the sloping sprinter finding her attention drawn to the obvious scene of disturbance as she looked ahead and saw a crowd of amore than five people seeming to be baying for that of a single, well-dressed soul, the brow of the blacked haired beauty seemed to furrow as she witnessed them shoving and tugging this lone party about with angry looks upon their faces, and though she had no idea what had prompted such discontent within the group of aggressors she made her mind up on the issue quickly.
“It looks like… They’re going after that poor man!” Calling out to her cohort as she saw an obvious victim in a situation which seemed half a dozen up against just one, Miss Matsumoto knew all too well what it was like to be confronted by angry crowds and malignant mobs, and let the experience of being an outcast fuel not only her decision but also the response she took toward it as well.

You can do this. Remember… What you’ve learned! No longer the scared little girl who could only cower and run away when she saw the faces around her grow ugly with anger and instead one that had been empowered to protect herself and perhaps others now, the fleet fox flung herself onward without even the briefest break in her stride as she sized the scene and knew just how to flip the script on the whole affair thanks to the training she had done alongside the ‘mastress’ who had chosen to bring her hear.
“Gaia’s Grasp!” Moulding her mana and then tightening the hold she had over her fingers as she charged to the side of the few rather than the many, Mei thrust her hands forward and from them seemed to sprout innumerable vines which shot forward to ensnare the belligerent mass, aiming more toward binding them there than truly harming them because of her dislike of violence. Though, in a situation like this one, she knew that if things got worse then her priorities might have had to change, no…?

There was a mob attacking one guy that honestly the way he was dressed looked like he fit Blue Pegasus, if you ask Michael.
"They're gonna rip him to shreds if we dont do something about it" Samuel piped up. Michael nodded in agreeance, but his arsenal was less magical and more physical. He could only stop violence with more violece, which onviously wasnt stopping any violence that way. If he had a gun, he'd shoot it in the air just to break down the fight and get the peoples attention. But no such luck

Thats when Mei came to the rescue and used her magic and bound the aggressors "Beautiful job there!" he complimented his partner, before walking over and being like "Okay, whats the big idea!? Why are you people attacking this lone dude?" of course as he asked the bound mob this, he kept his eye on the attacked victim, kept him in the corner of his eye. It was more Samuel who went to properly check on the man if he was ok, rather then Michael who was ready to discipline the crowd and get down to their motives as to what was up.

Looks like their little mission took an unexpected turn. But they could still salvage it and complete it peacefully right? They can negotiate. He hoped Alisa knew what she was doing when she sent him of all people here. Michael was more like adding oil to a flame, so he hoped that these kinds of quests were more up Meis alley. He also glanced at her to see how she was. He never saw magic like hers. It was actually very nice and naturey. He'd love to learn more about it maybe after the quest. He felt guilty he didnt get to ask her sooner of her strengths and weaknesses. Just showing that in certain areas, he could sharpen up on his leadership skills. Indeed, it has been a while since he was in control of a group. But for now he focused his attention to the group that was contained to see if he can talk some sense into them. He hoped he could. Luckily he also had Samuel who was the smarter of the two and much more diplomatic to his approach, as opposed to Michael who's more battle ready

"Eeeee! Help me please!
I-I didn't do anything!"

“H-Here you go, sir…” The barrage of branches and brambles seeming to be enough to snag the gang of would be attackers and allow their victim a chance to wriggle away from their attention, Mei could not fail to offer out a helpful hand to the poor fellow as he scurried across the ground on all four limbs like some kind of frightened animal, and felt both happy and eager to allow him to grasp her mitt and pull him back to his feet in such a state.
“What did you… Why were they trying to attack you?” In fact feeling like she was somewhat surprised by how light and how weak he felt as she did so, when she pulled this stranger back onto a more vertical incline the vixen could see that his clothing was torn and his nose was bloody, but more than that he seemed so horribly shaken by the experience that she couldn't help but feel her heart pang in response. It was like seeing herself as a girl, being held by the scruff of her neck by some mean old member of the community, wasn't it?

"I-I didn't do anything!
I was just… Just out for a walk…!"

Not that she ever seemed to be quite so shrill or so whiny even when she was at her youngest, given the scene they had seemed to interrupt Miss Miyamoto couldn't help but feel that his panic and quivering were only natural given what he had endured, and perhaps what waited still as well if the expressions of the people around her were anything to go by…

His new guild mate asked the injured and shambled man why was he attacked, but he gave no concrete answer. It was an 'I dont know I just went for a walk.' He just went out for a walk he says. Michael was buying it, but the exceed was not and shook his head. Being now on Michaels shoulder, he told him to like go to Mei. Michael shrugged and nearly threw Samuel off his shoulders with that.

When he got to Mei, he spoke to the two quietly in a whisper "I dont believe him. Keep an eye on him. It just seems odd, I cant place my finger on it"
"So what do we do 'O Wise One'" Michael whispered back
"Just play along and help him as if nothing is amiss" the exceed whispered back
Michael nodded and went to help the man out, but now keeping a watchful eye on the man. He was not sure what his exceed saw, but whatever he did, he would try to do so as well
