open The Circulation

"Who said we're thieves? They were the ones who stole it. We're just simply taking it back, and if they don't hand it back willingly, we'll be taking it back with brute force. Even if it means killing every single one of them." Hikari said with a slight grin. "Anyway, we need a plan to travel across the sea. We could take a plane if we had the money."

[Chickey 383]

"Well aren't you a Debby Downer, Sayaa..." Misha commented as his grin disappeared. "I think she was referring to herself as a thief." He said as he turned his gaze over to Hikari now. "I vote for plan brute force." Misha stated. "And money shouldn't be a problem, I'll probably fund this whole adventure if necessary. Personally I usually like cruise ships, but planes are faster." He finished.

"I don't care how we get there, honestly. At least with Misha, I know we will be getting there in style. I am beginning to wonder just how long it takes to put a piece of pie into milkshake, though." Zeke said. As if on queue, Zeke's stomach growled ferociously. "Where the heck is our food?" Zeke wondered out loud.

[Chickey 383]

Before Misha could reply to Zeke about the food, the waiter appeared with a full platter of food to pass out with the table. The chocolate shake, banana cream shake and western omelet, full breakfast and strawberry milkshake, and Misha's milkshake-less order were laid out in front of their matching requester. The waited waved goodbye for now and then left.

 

Misha spread the butter on his rye bread and got into gear for food time rather quickly. "We're obviously gonna be flying first class too. I call dibs on the peanuts though." He commented.

[Azura 1,107]

Without saying a word, Hikari grabbed her knife & fork and started eating. She was starving, and within minutes, almost everything on her plate was gone. She took a sip of the milkshake and said "That was delish." before she took her napkin and wiped her mouth.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Sayaa looked around, worried. She didn't like it when it seemed like she was the only person actively sizing up the problem; she spent to much time pretending sh had no clue what was going on. So instead, she sipped on her shake and internally anylized what she would do in each and every afterlife from all religions she could think of, just in case one of them was actually correct.

[Samurshy 708]

The food was placed in front of Zeke, and Zeke picked up his fork and began to eat. The western-style omelet was surprisingly well-cooked. The chef who cooked it obviously know what they were doing. He took a sip of his banana creme pie milkshake, bits of pie flowed in with the milk and liquified vanilla ice cream. This was the most fantastic milkshake Zeke had ever laid his lips on. He decided to take it slow with the shake to make it last as long as possible.

"Well. This is quite possibly the best milkshake I have ever had." Zeke said with a great big smile on his face.

[Chickey 383]

Misha took a sip of his black tea as he munched on his bread. He ate slowly and savored his breakfast while he could. Something he tried to do for every meal. He didn't say much as he ate, tuning everyone out for now until he heard Zeke next to him. "I'm starting to feel as if I missed out on the shakes." He said with a chuckle as he picked up his fork and started eating some of the scrambled eggs. 

[Samurshy 708]

 Niveus returned, and with Niveus's return Zeke immediately felt the surge of consciousness and felt whole once more. 

"Oh!" Zeke exclaimed to the others. "Niveus is back!"

As Lily, the Technopath stated, the outpost is indeed between Arven and Xevera in Axoana. That much is true, however.... This may be more of a problem than we thought previously. The layout of the facility consists of six above ground structures as well as a large underground complex. Niveus stated

"So, what is the problem?" Zeke asked.

There are about fifty to sixty highly trained guards. Those are just the foot soldiers, though. There is a group of higher ranking guards. Out of these eight high ranking guards, two are powerful magicians. Five of them are level 4 espers, and one (the teleporting esper Hikari encountered earlier) is a level 5. They possess too many forces. It would be much too dangerous for you to go up against them with just the forces you have right now. 

"Great!" Zeke exclaimed "Apparently, there are about sixty guards, and eight of them are super powerful espers and magicians. So, there is probably no way we can do this by ourselves. Which means, I am probably going to have to talk to Raiya." Zeke's expression quickly turned into a frown.

Misha's somewhat bored expression quickly turned into excitement as Zeke talked. He hissed out a "Yesss" under his breath and gave a fist pump as he sped up his eating to get done as quickly as possible now. Even going the extra mile and dunking his bread in his tea like a professional eater. Within a minute he was finished. "After all the hype you can't leave me out of this recruitment mission here Zekey-boy. Besides I need something to do, and everyone needs a wingman right?" Misha commented.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Sayaa bit her lip and looked away; despite it's characteristicly childish nature she tried to suppress the combination of hurt and disappointed. Hurt because she had begun seeing herself as Misha's partner; disappointed because she couldn't see a reason for her to go with them. After all, it was looking to be much more entertaining than kicking around town.

[Azura 1,107]

Hikari sat there in silence, finishing her drink. She started to wonder about what the plan would be when they travel to the camp. "Maybe we can lure the guards with Raiya's forces, dragging most of the them out of the base so we can infiltrate the base and take back what's ours." She thought out loud. "But then again, that would mean that a lot of people would have to die for this key..I-It just doesn't feel right.." She whispered to herself quietly.

 

"Hmm?" Hikari said as she looked at Misha. "So you're gonna go all the way to where Raiya is just to recruit her? Can't you just give her a call?" She asked both Zeke and Misha with a confused look on her face.

"But Hikari, that would be disrespectful and undiplomatic! Setting up a meeting shows the party in question you believe their time is valuable. Not only that, but most communication happens visually. We can't afford to cripple our message via electronics." She gave a broad, proud grin before finishing her shake.

After waiting until he was on the verge of tearing his eyeballs out and shoving them into a smootie machine just to break up the monotany, Shane decided to send Misha a text message on his brand new Swagfone 6. Its bends and contours felt right at home in Shane's hand as he typed his message to his good ol' buddy. "yo lmao liek why wont this police dude talk to me ive been trying to get his attention for the last month and a half lmao ayyyyyy"

And another message,to Sayaa,"yo dont take this the wrong way that i'm texting you like your 12 or something but please help me this terrorist man we have here wont talk to me and im really bored please what do i do send help." with that, Shane decided to go back to his duty of guarding the dark knight or whatever.

"Pretty much what Sayaa said. But, mostly it is that I am already on very thin ice with Raiya. Scratch that, I have broken through the ice and am beginning to sink to the freezing depths below. I believe that calling her would be a huge mistake we could not correct." Zeke said while finishing his breakfast and shake.

"So, Misha. I was thinking that we could take your car, if we are going together, then. You always have the sweetest rides. I bet your car even has heated seats. Much better than my junker of a Ford Taurus." Zeke said. 

[Chickey 383]

"See, Sayaa gets it." Misha added enthusiastically. "It would be rude to just give them a call on such short notice. And I really hate being rude. Going the extra mile always pays off." He explained. He pulled out his phone when he noticed he got a text. He gave a chuckle and texted back. "Smack him or something. Dump some ice water over his head maybe. That usually works."

 

Misha looked over to Zeke now. "Of course. On one condition though. You gotta drive for a while. I don't know where we are even going in the first place." He said as he got up and checked to see if he spilled any food on his clothes. Thankfully he was clean. 

[Samurshy 708]

"ME? DRIVE YOUR SWEET CAR!? FUCKIN AWESOME!" Zeke exclaimed at the top of his lungs. In his excitement he realized that it was much too loud, and now everyone in the cafe was looking at him for shouting such language.

"Well, lets get the show on the road, then." Zeke said as he stood up, eager to get behind the wheel of a luxury vehicle.

[Chickey 383]

Misha gave a chuckle as he pulled out his keys and tossed them over to Zeke. "We might get killed or something during this mission but at least you got to drive a luxury car." He said as he turned his attention back to Hikari and Sayaa. "Well I suppose we should get going. Times a flyin' by now ain't it?" Misha commented as he pulled out his wallet and left a hundred note slip on the table to cover the food and tip. "See you two later, keep yourselves safe while we're gone." He finished as he walked over to the door and waited for Zeke.

[Samurshy 708]

Zeke looked at the keys in his hand and gave a huge smile to Hikari and Saiyaa. 

"This is gunna be soooooo awesome." Zeke said as he shook the keys furiously like a baby with a rattle. "See ya guys. If anything happens or you need something send us a text." Zeke said as he walked for the door and joined Misha as they walked outside. They made it back to the hotel. 

"Hey, if you are going up. Could you snatch my Baretta on my nightstand for me? I will start the car." Zeke asked.

[Chickey 383]

"You got it. I gotta grab something inside anyways." Misha said with a nod as he went into the apartment. After making his way through the building he got back to their room and went inside. Misha gave a wave to the people still there and went into Zeke's room. He quickly found his gun still in the holster and grabbed it. However before leaving he stopped at the large golden dresser he brought inside earlier today. He pulled off his own MP443 pistol and holster from his belt and placed it inside. Deciding he didn't really want to deal with the extra weight. And then exchanged it for a black metal briefcase adorned with all kinds of locks and chains to the point of being overkill. He giggled to himself for a moment and then picked it up and made his way back to Zeke outside

 

He hid the gun in his jacket as he made his way through the building and back to the car outside so he wasn't stopped by security for having a gun in his hand. Though soon enough he exited the place without any type of problem to halt him. "Alright Zekey-boy we're good to go." He said as he handed the gun over and popped the trunk and placed the briefcase inside. 

[Samurshy 708]

The car was already started by the time Misha made it outside. The radio was tuned to a rock station with a mix of oldies, and 90's grunge rock. When Zeke saw Misha exit the building, Zeke stepped out of the car and recieved his Baretta which he fixed to his belt. He then sat down inside and waited for Misha to situate himself in the passenger seat. 

[Chickey 383]

Misha got into the passenger seat and closed the door afterwards. He leaned the seat back a bit and rested himself in a comfortable position for the long trip ahead of them. "So what exactly are we gonna be getting ourselves into here, Zeke?" He asked.

'Omg, how did u get my #? No matter dawg, don't u got, like, brick-break on wat evr u4ia fone just came out? Game on swagmaster117. We'll be back soon. Keep the pizza warm, yeah?' She turns to Hikari, "We should get back soon. Shane is getting restless. And by that, I mean bored. Bored is never a good thing around a special agent."

[Samurshy 708]

It was at this point the thrill of sitting in the driver seat of a Luxury vehicle wore off. 

"It might be an exaggeration to say she is a god. She is more like, if the Devil had a daughter and she wore high-heels, fish-nets and a leather jacket." Zeke said with a grimace. 

Zeke pushed the clutch down with his left foot and shifted into reverse and then backed out and shifted into first. He made it onto the road and followed the traffic signs to find the way out of the city and onto the freeway towards Vertlyn. The ride was extremely smoothe, and definitely a world apart from his Ford Taurus.

"She strongly hinted that if she saw me in her town again she would kill me. And, with her power, I have no doubt she could do it."

[Azura 1,107]

Hikari watched Misha and Zeke talking about this luxurious car that they're gonna drive, and before she knew it, they were gone. "Let's go back to the apartment then, Sayaa." She said, but she wondered if she has forgotten something. "Wait a second.. Did we pay the bill for this meal?" Hikari asked.
