By the time the party had moved from the workshop to the studio, the sun had begun to set over Clockhaven, its orange and pink hues casting lively shades upon Clockhaven, the studio looked basic and nearly empty its square-shaped windows on the inside had red curtains, the glass glistening with light and shadows. Unlike the workshop, it was in decent condition not in tip-top shape regardless it wasn’t nearly as mangled. The steel door was sealed shut behind some kind of mechanism. In the window a tiny construct, roughly about two to three inches in height clawed at the window with scissor-sharp clawed fingers. The construct looked like it could’ve been pure white once upon a time, yet as it was the construct was covered in rust, dirt, grime, and red stains. It didn’t take long for the construct to jump off of the window seal into the building with a quiet thud.

Keircey watched the scene only ever slightly unamused, “Yeah that would be one of the stage crew, wherever Roy goes they are always sure to follow”

He eyed the building cautiously then looked around, just in the case of one of the Roze Trifecta making another appearance since he was half sure their two knights drowned in the flood.

“Hmmm. I wonder if we’ll get some new people taking up the job late, anyways we all seemed to have found something back at the workshop. Now would be the time to shuffle through it I believe before going in.”

Keircey dipped into his pockets, his feet and pants were still wet, but fortunately, he had a change of clothes for when he needed it later. But was later and water wasn’t a real concern even if it was annoying. He took out a wrench-shaped key and the bloodstained Roze Trifecta Insignia and showed it to Kuro and Koralia.

“Yufi was able to grab more, I would’ve been able to pick up a shield on the way out if I had been designed to carry heavy objects. Circe dropped the key on her way down into the water, the insignia I found when walking into his quarters.”​

The trip from the Eastern Empire had taken her quite awhile and she was indeed late, having accepted the job from the Windersian Adventurers Guild when she arrived. Investigating a workshop seemed like an ideal place for her to gather intelligence on constructs. The number of constructs in the East Empire was quite staggering and should an uprising happen, well, it's best to know thy enemy.

Upon arrival she saw the group standing outside the second building looking worse for wear after their previous endeavor. As she approached the group she overheard Keircey speaking of the insignia and a key, items that were probably important to the mission. Amelia stepped toward the group to offer an introduction.

“I apologize for arriving late. The trip here was longer than anticipated. You may call me Amelia and I look forward to working with you all.”

She kept a neutral expression and she glanced between all the different members of the group with ruby eyes, maintaining an air of composure despite the discomfort of working with non-humans. Amelia was way outside her comfort zone being this far from home, but she had a mission to complete and Keircey was the perfect target of an interrogation.

Mary

​

Mary dragged her feet as she made her way to the supposed location written on the request she had taken from the Widersian adventurer’s guild. She had spent a good majority of the time thus far reconsidering the request. After all, it could be dangerous! Who knew what dangers lurked in the mysterious workshop they had been sent to investigate? There could be horrifying traps being laid at every corner, or maybe even bad guys hiding in that abandoned place. The fear was enough to make her turn back multiple times, but every time she did she remembered that the guild members would probably laugh at her for turning back this early, and that was even more humiliating.

Furthermore, she had to do this. It was for the sake of getting stronger in this dangerous world, for her own survival. She remembered her first adventure when she got beaten up by a bunch of low level slimes. It taught her that this world was ruthless, and that she was weak! This resolve was what kept her going, although she was reluctant.

At last, Mary arrived at the scene, spotting the group outside the second building. Their weathered appearance hinted at the perils they had already faced. Mary hesitated for a moment as her nerves threatened to take over, but she forced herself to move forward.

Clutching the strap of her bag like a lifeline, she kept her gaze mostly on the ground, occasionally darting glances at the others as she spoke in a small, shaky voice.

“Uh… uhm… h-hello. I’m Mary. Sorry for being so late—I, uh, got a little lost,” she stammered, her face turning a deep shade of pink. “Th-this is only my second quest, so I’m still trying to, um, figure things out. I’ll try my best to help… even though I’m not very good at anything in particular yet.”

Her voice wavered, and she fidgeted nervously, half-expecting someone to dismiss her on the spot. Well, even if they did, at least she had an excuse for going home early, right?

"Hmm. I found a journal of Diago's, I didn't exactly read it more like skimmed it but there were mentions of the Roze Trifecta in it, so it might be useful, as well as some blueprint that was hidden in the back of the wardrobe, though I'm not tech savvy enough to understand any of it so if you could Keircey take a look at it, it would be great."
Yufi exclaimed grabbing the rolled-up blueprint and handing it to Keircey for him to appraise it, as she took a good look at the sword she picked up from the ground back there that had writing in Terran, she didn't really have the time to read it on the move, but now they did have a bit of time.

"The insignia is of the Roze Trifecta, a nasty bunch formed from corrupt knights, a merchant family and a noble family. And if you are wondering how I know of them. Well a part of it wants me dead, the other part wants me alive since their young master fell in love in me... And as you can see I want nothing to do with them. Though I am wondering how Diago got involved with them, though I know they had some agreement between them." Yufi said partially sighing when she mentioned how she was involved with the trifecta, it seemed some family trauma, followed her even to this new life made her shudder a bit, but she hoped the luck of finding a new better family would follow her as well soon enough.

When two new people arrived Yufi took a gander at them, taking a small break from reading what was written on that sword blade. From a quick look, Yufi felt she wouldn't like working with Amelia, something about her just picked Yufi the wrong way, Mary on the other hand. Yufi could work with that, sure she was a bundle of nerves right now but at least Yufi didn't feel that ick from her the same way she felt when looking at Amelia.
"Welcome you two! I'm Yufi. This is Keircey, if you want to talk to someone I consider the boss on this quest then it's him. He knows more than me anyway."
Upon those words Yufi returned to reading the words from the sword she picked up, if Keircey was interested in them back then, then they should be worth something for this, at least she hoped they were worth something.

“A pleasure, to you all.”

She was surprised to see such a meek individual joining them for a mission, wondering what could bring such a person to a dangerous line of work such as this. Talk of someone named Diago and a group called the Roze Trifecta excited her interest, but the blueprints caught her undivided attention.

Amelia watched as the blueprints were about to be passed to Keircey and her curiosity got the better of her, a quick hand reaching forth and snatching them away. Though the movement was abrupt and swift she took extra care not to tear them, wanting only to see if they may be of some help to her mission.

“Quite interesting.”

She spoke softly as she looked over the blueprints multiple times, turning the page in multiple directions trying to make out what they were for. She was not the most technically inclined individual, but she could probably make out the overall design and use of whatever they were for. She rolled the prints back up and offered them to Keircey once she was finished, looking toward the door of the workshop before asking him a question.

“Seems you are the squad leader, and have already been through one building. What do you expect to find inside this one?”

Mary

Megilagor DarkKitsune Crescent King​

Mary fidgeted nervously as she stood with the group. The woman who introduced herself as Yufi seemed confident—intimidatingly so—but her warm welcome helped ease Mary’s initial anxiety, if only slightly.

“Um… n-nice to meet you, Yufi,” Mary murmured. Her gaze darted to Keircey briefly before quickly dropping back to the ground. “I’ll… do my best to not be a burden to you all.”

The timid girl blinked in surprise as the blueprints were swiftly snatched up by the woman who introduced herself earlier as Amelia. Her eyes flicked toward her, and for a moment, Mary couldn’t help but take in the woman’s striking, almost otherworldly appearance. Her skin, eyes and hair were all coloured red, as if she had just bathed in blood. Mary swallowed hard, her grip tightening instinctively on the strap of her bag. What was such a scary person doing here? Or heck… was she even a human to begin with? The thoughts sent a chill down Mary’s spine. Maybe she’s a demon…?

Quickly averting her gaze back to the ground, Mary tried to shake off the unsettling thoughts. There was no way she could be a demon... Otherwise, she would have been caught by the guards or something earlier. Right, Mary had nothing to be afraid of.

As Amelia inspected the blueprints and began questioning Keircey, Mary shifted her weight nervously. The mention of the Roze Trifecta still lingered in her mind, filling her with unease. She had heard whispers of dangerous groups like that before but never imagined she’d be anywhere near one, let alone involved in something related to them.

Her eyes drifted to Yufi, who had been studying a sword for some time now. Curiosity bubbled to the surface, momentarily pushing aside her nerves. Taking a small step forward, Mary hesitantly broke the silence.

“Th-that sword… It looks important. Is it, um, from the workshop? Or… related to this quest somehow?” She asked, while tilting her head slightly.
