open The Circulation

[Chickey 383]

Misha stepped out from the elevator and walked over to the door. He took the keys and pocketed the red and green one, probably to give to the rest of the group. "I suppose I'll do the honors." He said as he opened the main door with the blue key. Afterwards he stowed the key away somewhere in his clothes.

Sonata giggled and walked into the apartment. She walked over to the window in the living room and looked down. The view was amazing, and it has been quite some time since she's been here.  "It's beautiful.." She commented. Sonata looked at Misha and said "I've got something to do so I'll be on my way. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call."

Hikari entered the building from the front door and looked around. This building was truly something special. "I think it was floor 72." She thought out loud as she approached the lift, pressed the button and waited.

Lily smiles, "It's beautiful to look at, I'll give them that, but the real question is whether it's livable or not... Yeah, it was 72." After they get into the elevator Lily whispers to Hikari, "Please try and keep it quiet about my Esper ability... The moment people find out I'm a Machine Empath it makes it quite a bit harder to get access to the systems you want me to crack. I'm sure here will be no exception in that regard." as they start riding up to the 72^nd floor, she takes her laptop out of her satchel and begins typing, "Alright, I'm connecting into the building's network now... Let's see what I can find."

[Chickey 383]

Misha nodded and fished something out of his coat. "However before you take your leave I think it would be best if I paid you?" He stated as he brandished his wallet and pulled out the six thousand five hundred notes she needed for the apartment and held it out over to Sonata. He figured by now the rest of the group would be getting close to arriving.

[Azura 1,107]

Sonata smiled embarrassingly and said "Oh my.. How could I forget about that!" Her face went slightly red as she took the money away from his hands. "Now that that's done, I'd best be leaving. Enjoy your stay!" She said with a smile before heading straight out of the apartment and towards the lift.

"Livable? I don't quite get what you mean but I'll keep quiet about your Esper ability. I just hope you've disabled all the microphones and cameras on this lift." She said with caution and in a rather quiet voice, looking above her for cameras.

[FractalMoon 378]

Lily shrugs, "You know... Defensible, easy to navigate, enough space for everyone living in it... That kind of thing..." She smirks and nods, "All the cameras, microphones, and motion sensors are one better than disabled, I'm running a loop through them to prevent anyone from getting suspicious. Looks like we're here." The elevator doors open quickly as they reach their floor.

Misha nodded and fished something out of his coat. "However before you take your leave I think it would be best if I paid you?" He stated as he brandished his wallet and pulled out the six thousand five hundred notes she needed for the apartment and held it out over to Sonata. He figured by now the rest of the group would be getting close to arriving.

"You know," Sayaa says after she leaves, "You probably could've said nothing and not have had to pay. Or I could've created illusory money. I mean, I know it's the right thing to do and all, but what happens when our funds shut off? If you're supposed to be dead and all, the government of your orgin could have a claim to your money. Just saying."

Misha sat down on a couch and leaned back, waving the glove illusion off his hands. "Despite my ruthless actions and lack of mercy while fighting, I try to be as pleasant as I can while not. Plus she probably would of found out sooner or later, then I'd have to use completely unnecessary force against her just because I didn't want to shell out a fraction of my earnings. Or we could have the police on us too." He explained. "Seeing I still work for the government of course they still know I live, almost everyone else on Morden however doesn't know. It keeps it so I'm not so easily tracked down and attacked in my own house. Money isn't a problem however, even if I run out, and that would be hard, Lily can still tap into any ATM we see. And I can just make gold from my hands and sell it at a pawn shop if push comes to shove." He finished with a chuckle.

"Creating gold is illegal. It lowers the value of the market's one constant, and therefor all money. As such, gold inflation, even small, is collectively agreed to be outlawed by nearly every country. The exception being countries with barter economies."

[Chickey 383]

"I suppose that law might be real if this was Full Metal Alchemist and the only magic possible was Alchemy. But with the lack of alchemist practitioners and the fact that creating gold is a hassle in itself already, no one really does it. No problem, no law against it, right?" Misha retorted as he pulled out a small silver colored pen from his coat. He twirled it around in his fingers before he balled his hand into a fist around it. A feint glow could be seen inside of his hand. "However with runes almost anything is possible, it just takes a lot of energy to do. Overextending it would be quite a strain on you. Everything in moderation, they say." He opened his hand and now the whole pen seemed to be made out of gold instead. "Oops... I'm sorry officer, please don't lock me up in the fun jail!" He said dramatically as he placed it back into his coat.

Sonata headed towards the lift, and as she approached, it opened up ahead of her. Hikari looked at her and walked towards the door, which was open since she didn't bother closing it. Sonata looked at both Hikari and Lily with curious eyes since Misha didn't look like any ordinary man. It didn't bother her too much since she isn't supposed to involve herself with matters that she had no part of to begin with. Sonata got into the lift, glided back down to the lobby and hopped back into her car as she drove off and back to her office which was just a few blocks away from the apartment where Hikari and the others were living. "Hey Misha and Sayaa!" She said, waving a hand at Misha who was sitting on the couch.

[Chickey 383]

Misha gave a small wave back before speaking. "Seems we have the apartment situation under control. I presume the shopping went well, you two get some new purses?" He joked. "So what's the game plan now, where next?" He asked afterwards he he leaned forward on the couch. 

[FractalMoon 378]

Lily walks in and immediately begins setting up in the corner, "Shopping went well, got a long range multifrequency microwave array antenna, a set of microprocessors, and a degraded-plutonium battery for any sort of emergencies we may wind up... Speaking of dealing with emergencies..." She dives deep into the tower's intranet, picking her way through security terminals and counter-hacking protocols to access the central security complex of the building and begin bending it to her will. It's slow work, but she smiles as new sensations begin to trickle in. Cameras, motion sensors, thermal imaging, even electrical current detectors, it astounded her exactly how much security these people had, and it was all hers to play with. After an hour of sitting there, occasionally typing but mostly lost in her own mind, she looks up, "It's all mine... Whatever you want done to the building, it's all here now..."

[Azura 1,107]

Hikari giggled at Misha's awful yet funny joke. "Someone here must know about what the key we found unlo-" She realized that the key wasn't with anyone in the room, and then she recalled that Zeke was carrying it. "Wait, where's Zeke? He has the key.." Hikari sighed in frustration. "Lily. Can you access the city cameras from here and execute a command to locate where Zeke is through facial recognition?"

[FractalMoon 378]

Lily shrugs, "I can try, but no promises. It's a big city, and if he's moving quickly I won't get a good enough read on his picture to get a positive identification..." She dives deep into the abyss, digging into the city surveillance network and putting out a search directive for Zeke. Slowly reports begin to trickle in, informing her of rough information. Travelling in the general direction of the apartment, moving quickly, everything going along... She turns back to Hikari, "Good news, I know he's moving toward us. Bad news, I have no way to contact him..."

[Chickey 383]

Misha gave a slight grin. "Well, technically he isn't the one who has it." He commented as he pulled something from his coat pocket, the key. He did what he compulsively did with most objects, twirled it around in between his fingers. "It was shiny, so I took it from him while he wasn't paying attention." He explained.

The illusory key dissolved and Sayaa grinned. "Woopsies. Well, I didn't know why you decided to take it, but as a practiced... slight of hand myself, I couldn't miss up on the opportunity to snatch it. Like you said, it's shiny." She passes it to Hikari with a small grin, though moving slightly away from Misha. He was, after all, bigger than her.

Hikari took the key from Sayaa's hand and made it hover on the top of her hand before grabbing it and placing it in her right pocket. "It's been such a long day.. All I want to do is take a shower and rest for a bit.." She said with a yawn before heading towards one of the three bedrooms which all had their personal bathrooms. "I'll be taking this room, if you guys don't mind." Hikari said as she closed and locked the door behind her.

[Chickey 383]

Misha gave a frown and furrowed his brow towards Sayaa before he simply sighed and leaned back in his couch again. He waved goodnight to Hikari and looked to the rest of the group. "Since we're one short on bedrooms I'll bench myself to the couch out here and use the spare bathroom. If anyone needs something from me or wants to talk I'll quite obviously be here." He said as he took off his coat and neatly folded it over the couch. Followed by his navy suit jacket afterwards. He kept his shirt on for obvious reasons. "I have trouble sleeping, so it's probably best I don't take up one of the rooms to do just the opposite of what it's for anyways." He added as he tilted his head back and shut his eyes.  

[Azura 1,107]

The night was settling in, and darkness engulfed the entire city. City lights and street lamps lit Novarius up, and the view from the window was not something you see everyday. "Maybe I should park my car into the garage just in case.." She thought about her car. Hikari was worried that she would lose her stuff she packed before leaving her house in the trunk. She placed the key on the desk and looked down her window. "I could just jump down from here, but then again, I wouldn't want the others to worry if I don't respond.." Hikari sighed and wondered why she just couldn't act normally and take the lift like an ordinary human being. Just because she has the power to land safely doesn't mean she should do it. She got out of her room and said "I'll be right back. I gotta go park my car in the apartment's garage and grab something from the trunk." Hikari remembered that she didn't have the key to the front door so she asked "Hey Misha, would you happen to have an extra key?"

Sayaa sighed and knew instantly she would not be able to sleep on the bed. Because it was not a box-spring mattress, it would not be firm enough to mimic the ground; her sleeping surface for the last five years. After the others had gone to their rooms, she went back out to Misha. "Can you sleep on a bed?"

[Chickey 383]

"It's not impossible, but I can't order a pizza while I'm trying to sleep now can I?" He said back. "However if you can't go to sleep, I've been praised to be able to help with that. Though it does sometimes leave an impression of my ring on their face. Gotta take the good with the bad you know." He continued, seeming like he was joking as he pulled out his phone and used to touch screen the navigate around it for a while. "Though in all seriousness, if you can't sleep on a bed or something I wont make you, but I'm not sure where else you will either. Just stay out here with me if you have to. As for me, I tend to just fall asleep when I pass out. When I try to sleep on a bed in the dark all quiet like I have too much time to think about things I don't want to." He finished.

[Azura 1,107]

Hikari wondered if she spoke to softly for Misha to hear her question. She walked over to the balcony and opened the door and before doing a crazy stunt that could get her killed, she said "I'll be back in a bit.." before backflipping off the fence and dived down. Before half way, she started to drag herself back up with her powers and as she reached the very bottom, she was hovering above ground. Hikari looked left and right before landing on the floor and realized that she was at the back of the building. She started heading back to the front of the apartment from the right side.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Sayaa looked over at the balcony and prepared a portal at the bottom of the fall. She didn't actually make it; she could see from the illusory mirror she created that she was fine. "Are you saying you don't sleep on beds either? Because if that's true then we have an extra bed."

[Chickey 383]

Misha shook his head. "Not quite, I'm saying I don't like to sleep in general. The bed doesn't change all that much itself." He explained. "We might need the bed for Zeke or someone else, so I suppose having the extra will work." He added as he put his phone away for now.
