"A stalker, huh... One that looks like that, too? Must be nice to be popular."


After letting out that sarcastic remark, Nichole took another sip from her soda. Given the request, the most she'd be able to do is provide a "Warding" Rune, which would only stay in effect for about a day.


'Making a trap, luring the stalker to said trap (possibly with Chuck's Possession), and then doing whatever to him might work... I could use my Scouts to monitor him for a while for that plan to work.'





Keeping her thoughts to herself, she listens to Chuck's comment and nods her head. Beating some sense into a stalker could be done at night, after all.

Rei hook her head. "Think, like, young Leonardo Dicaprio. He's just like him. But with good abs." She continued smiling, so they knew she was simply joking. To Chuck, she said, "You don't need to come. I won't yell at you if you don't. That's why I asked." The girl picked up her phone and showed a collection of text messages to the client.


"Here he is. You're right about him being popular, so I'll probably have to be the main one in there because he won't be able to see me. If he tells crap about us, our social standing will go downhill."

"Ooh so that's it." Hiroshi said dispelling the illusion. He decided that tonight he would invade this stalkers dreams and craft a good nightmare for him. "Alright I'll be close by when you approach him. We should never travel alone at this point. With our new social standing some people may try to harm us.

 

[Reine]

Rei smiled, holding up a piece of paper from her jacket pocket. "I have eighteen phone numbers like this one in my desk. Has anyone given you a phone number, Hiroshi? I bet you're popular." It was almost a challenge for him to say yes. She wasn't bragging, exactly. More setting him up for failure. Her eyes flashed with emotion as she asked the question. Her eyes softened and she said, with a small noise that sounded like a forced laugh, "That's okay. If you do, I always have my slingshot."

"So, "the client has their reasons for wanting it done during school", then..?"


Voicing her guess almost inaudibly, Nichole looks up at the ceiling. It couldn't really be helped. Not all of the details would be shared in a "request" -- privacy is top priority for the Bank, so asking anything more wouldn't be looked upon very well.


"I can make a Warding Rune to keep the stalker away from the client, but that's about it."


The options to make large Golems, or use Create Golem to mold holes in the ground for pitfalls and such were also options, but they would be quite taxing to do, not to mention troublesome, so Nichole left them out.

 

[St. Boethius]

Hiroshi watched the President closely as he considered how to answer that question or what her intentions were for asking it. He decided to take the moral high ground and just say the truth, " Not many actually. Most people since they know about my power of illusions either want me to make them look different, 'help' them, or think this isn't how I actually look. So I mostly keep to myself."

 

[FluffyFoxChan]

Airi smiled... She loved this group of weirdos more and more every time they met.


"Well, if you guys need my powers for anything, just let me know. I'm not sure how I might be able to help or anything..." She said this sarcastically. Her memory manipulation wasn't often used during favors though. Her power could completely change someone's life, which would most likely have negative effects on those within her victim's life. She could erase the girl from the stalker's memories... but she said nothing to the others about it.


Airi normally wasn't this cheery or at all this excited but she felt that she should make the most of tomorrow. She wasn't sure why though, maybe she was just afraid of something actually going wrong, or maybe it was because she usually did solo favors. Airi was one of the least popular members of the Bank. Though she usually got her job done efficiently, no one sought her out most of the time, instead she had to ask others if they needed a favor. She thought about the stalker for a bit. ("Why would someone like that need to resort to stalking? I wonder if he had bigger intentions then just watching this poor girl")

 

[Reine]

Nachetanya shook her head, pretending she didn't hear Hiroshi. "No, You probably don't know him, he just never goes to school unless something's happening, like when he knows there's going to be a fight that day. I noticed that from seeing him at school only to participate in a fight or a school party. Maybe once every week and a half. It wouldn't be too bad to assume he's not coming today." She stood up, looking at all the previous texts. Putting on her shoes, she said, "You guys can stay up here and fight over the last doughnut. I'm going to the pool." She carefully stepped out of her room and disappeared.

Hiroshi thought it was odd that she seemingly ignored his response. Did he say something wrong. When he heard there was only one donut left his head whipped over seeing the single donut he made it seem line the entire desk was stacked to the ceiling with donuts so they would have a hard time finding the real one.

 

[FluffyFoxChan]

Airi sighed again. "Yeah, see ya later pres. I think I'm gunna go home though. There's no point in me sticking around..."


Airi got up, ignoring the hundreds of new doughnuts on the desk. She was getting ready to leave until she noticed her backpack was gone. ("Did I even bring one? If so I'm sure the Pres will give it to me tomorrow. Nothing to worry about I guess")

 

[Ensig]

Looking over at the new pile of doughnuts, Nichole sighed to herself.


'How childish...'





Picking up her backpack and standing up, she pats Airi's head lightly before walking past her and reaching through the illusions and taking the single doughnut with a Scout Golem sitting on top of it. She had moved one into place just for this occasion.


'... Does this make me childish as well?'





Fretting over that thought, she tosses Chuck the doughnut (without the Golem, of course) and makes her way downstairs, hoping to make use of the president's back yard for raw materials. Stones were useful, after all.

 

[St. Boethius]

Hiroshi sighed and dispelled the illusion, " Sorry about that. Really wanted that donut..... " Hiroshi carefully stepped aside from the multiple traps and smiled at Airi, "Have a safe trip back. Text one of us if you need help." He said before he left as well. He needed to get back to the temple and help the monks. " I'll be excusing myself as well. I need to take care of my choirs at the temple. " Hiroshi made his way down and said good bye to the Rei and then left for the temple.

Helena stood infront of Rei's house. She stood there for a whole 3 minutes, lost in her daydream, before deciding to enter her house. She walked up the stairs, light steps. She was late - as always - but that's just how she is. As she was going up she saw another girl making her way downstairs. That girl was Airi. She nodded slightly in her direction, instead of saying good morning, and made her way up to Rei's room. She opened the door and saw the only one other person sitting there,apart from Rei. It was Chuck.


"Hi.", was all she said before putting her bag on the ground. She didn't dare sitting down, knowing of the traps that were put down. She had learned from previous 'accidents', with the same pattern. "So, any news?"

 

[FluffyFoxChan]

Nichole's random pat made Airi blush a little, and forget about the backpack. ("Right, guess I should be going then...").


"I will Hiroshi! Thanks!" Airi left the house, hoping to avoid anymore of the Pres' traps.


On her way home she took in the scenery. Airi hid her emotions away behind an "Iron Shell", but when she was with the Bank she became a totally different person. With them she was happy and made jokes and all that. It was a place where she could be herself.

(Sorry about that can't edit my posts on a kindle)


Once Hiroshi got back to the temple he now called home Hiroshi changed into novice monk robes and set force cleaning the shrine from top to bottom. As he worked he had quite a bit to think about. The stalker, Rei's strange behavior, and Airi's scars. Hiroshi hated when his friends were in trouble, but with their power they could fix their own problems. All he could do it make things seem better than they actually were. A fake that didn't truly fix anything.

After scouring the President's backyard of any usable stones, Nichole wandered around Rei's house for a short while. She wasn't snooping or anything, she just wanted to know how other houses -- ones with more than one inhabitant -- looked like.


For her own house, she lived in an Apartment. It consisted of three rooms, two of which could hardly hold more than one person; A Kitchen (small), a Bathroom (small), and a Bedroom (which was 'medium' -- mainly due to the fact it also served as a living room). She wasn't kidding earlier when she said it was cramped.


Looking at the bookshelves from a distance, Nichole walked towards an inconspicuous-looking shelf, one filled with items of little importance. A 'junk drawer' of sorts. She then proceeded to take a stone out of her bag, and put it into said drawer. The identity of the stone was a "Reduce Strife" Rune. It did just as its name suggested, and Nichole often left such Runes in the houses of her friends and/or clients. It didn't have any spectacular effects, but... It lasted a long time, and it had a wide area of effect, so it was convenient.


'With this, the favor of letting me come over has been repayed.'





Thinking so, Nichole left the house and made her way to the bus stop she had come from. Her 'house' was a bit further away than the rest, so it couldn't be helped.

Alexander sighed a bit softly, as he looked around the downtown library. He smiled softly, as he closed the book he had been reading, adjusting his glasses. "Hm? And who is this..." He mumbled to himself, as he took out his phone, holding the book with his free hand. "I see..." He chuckled to himself, pocketing the phone again after reading the text. He then slowly turned to leave the library, putting the book on a counter.

 

[Reine]

Nachetanya got up out of bed the next day, stabbing her foot with a stray tack. She flinched and pulled it out, tossing it in the trash. The girl wandered into her bathroom and began her pre-morning ritual of brushing her teeth, changing into new clothing, and sending a text of no importance to her mother, something about wishing her a good day when she went to school. Her brain didn't work.

​

 

[St. Boethius]

Hiroshi had spent his night combing through the dreams of his fellow club members particularly Airi's as he was still concerned about her. Whatever nightmares they may have suffered that night Hiroshi made sure to give them very happy and pleasant dreams. When Hiroshi got up he started up his daily routine of cleaning his room, daily hygiene, and paying respect to the Kami of the temple.

 

[Reine]

Nachetanya sent a mass text to the group, telling to meet up at the town square but stay back to watch. The client had told the boy she would meet him in the square, under Nachetanya-Rei's instructions. The girl got chills as she watched her hands disappear. She took off her clothes so they wouldn't be visible, and dug her slingshot and a bag of rocks from her backpack, waiting for the boy to show up.

Alexander had spent the night awake, spending most of it on the net, monitoring his website as he did. Smiling softly, he slowly moved towards his kitchen, taking out a soda from the fridge, smiling a bit as he looked at his phone. "Is that so..." He mumbled a bit, as he looked out a window.

 

[Ensig]

'Everything's ready then.'


Nichole stood in front of her slightly-small mirror in her cramped bathroom checking over the supplies which she had placed on the sink counter. She had stones, runes, wooden plaques, pre-made Scouts and Earpeices, and other such oddities. Looking to the side, she also took a spare set of clothing with her, just in case a certain situation happened. Placing each item into the bag, she almost put a tube of toothpaste in her pocket thinking it was a carving tool.


'My mornings aren't usually this bad... Must be because he showed up.'


Nichole quickly took the toothpaste and tucked it away in its respective location. Space conversation was important in such a small room, after all.


Regarding how her sleep was: it was fine, as always. A certain multi-tailed fox made his appearance, meaning that the Dream Warding Rune she had made to especially repel a certain someone wasn't strong enough.


'I don't want to owe any favors... So he should stop being such a worrywart. I'll have to improve the rune later... Maybe I should shape it like a dream catcher?'


Pondering such a thing, Nichole picked up her bag, placing the final object into it: the Warding Rune for the client. It worked even if the client herself didn't have the rune on her person, so the rune simply sat within Nichole's bag, zipped up for security.


*Bzzzt*


Taking out her phone, Nichole scanned over the message from the president, and responded with a simple "Ok." and lugged her bag over her shoulder. She then exited the door and locked it behind her.

 

[St. Boethius]

Hiroshi got the text while he was in the middle of his morning meditation. Being able to craft illusions and dreams required a very imaginative mind that could clearly picture what Hiroshi needed. So he did this exercise each morning to improve his visualization. When his phone went off he nodded to himself and put his phone on. His pocket. Just for a little fun and some practice Hiroshi made himself seem like a tiny nine tailed Fox. This illusion even affected Hiroshi so he would move around as if he actually had tails and had to run around of all fours. So he ran off from the temple making everyone who say the small Fox do a double take to count the number of tails. When Hiroshi got to the town square he positioned himself at the entrance of store and made his Fox form seem to be made of ceramic and therefore he would look like an ornament. Layering illusions like this took quite a bit of effort and concentration, but to Hiroshi it was fun and great practice.

 

[aaaah]

As Chuck layed in bed, he debated if he should skip school or not, he had never done this before and he would get in trouble if he did. He heard his phone buzz and saw Rei's mass text. "I don't think it will work but I will put on this thing."

His mother's aquamarine pendant. Chuck is highly interested in gemology, so his mother gave him her necklace for good luck. As Chuck put on the necklace he pack a few things in his spare backpack. A gemology book, some manga, and a PB&J sandwich.


He left his apartment and went to town square.(Chuck lives in a apartment by himself) Chuck took out his phone and replied the mass text "I'm on my way! "

 

[ZeiruliousMakavar]

Alexander sighed a bit, as he looked in the mirror, smiling softly before he turned to slowly head out to the location mentioned in the text. He smiled softly to himself as he did, wondering if there'd be something interesting to observe this time.
