Cinema Village

[Angelofdeath690]

Kaede was standing a bit behind Zazie as she watched Driviline as he seemed to be a bit strange. She noticed his eyes in particular as they were yellow when he turned around the first time but now she couldn't see them as he didn't turn but he was speaking something as it was hard to make it out in the crowd.

Akari's eyes followed his hand as she saw the play. "Let's go." She said suddenly as she took his hand and sprinted towards the play, finding it slightly awkward to run in her current footwear, so she ran a bit more delicately and femininely, taking small quick strides in her outfit.

This was not going well. So far, the little trek around cinema village had yielded no results; and now that she had an eight-foot, greataxe-wielding orc in full plate with her, Cassandra was somewhat limited as to where she could investigate now. She muttered angrily to herself in English; not that she'd be heard over the crowds, especially when she was now sat on the thick Orc's shoulder. "" What she really wanted to do at this point was encyst the entire bloody town, systematically torture them by forcing hot things under their fingernails, and then harvest the ones responsible for making her waste so much of her precious time in this annoying little side-quest. Yeah... not in the greatest of moods at the moment.

Grundy had remained totally silent throughout. He wasn't smart enough to even make an educated guess at when he was looking right at the kidnappers, even with the descriptions Cassandra had told him. He felt ashamed that he'd almost cut the one person who would be able to help him in half; and even worse about the fact that he'd missed; and worse still that he'd actually hit Cassandra. He had yet to redeem himself, either; breaking things - and people - was the only thing he was really good at, and he hadn't been ordered again. He was well and truly under Cassandra's control once again.

Just the way he liked it.

Negi looks between them before remembering the note in his pocket. "Hmm..." He frowns a bit. He still has to deliver it, and sooner would be better, right? He fingers the note a bit, thinking about it for a bit before deciding that it would indeed be best to do it now. With most of the students he would bring along working on finding Konoka, he would seem to need to go alone... He felt nervous about doing so, though. He takes out his student listings and scans them before his eyes make contact with a girl named Seraphim. She wasn't there for the field trip, nor had she been attending classes at all... how odd. She lives in Kyoto, it would seem... time to pay a visit~ "Well, it seems as though there is a student that lives here... she hasn't been showing up, so I'm going to go find her. It shouldn't take too long, and maybe I can bring her with my on my deliver for a chastising... or something. If she is, in fact, home..."

Kaito looked at her as she said that they should go, she pulled him along as she was running a bit funny. He had to smile as he kept up with her, they arrived as he tried to look past the crowd to the play. It was a bit hard as he couldn't see "can you see?" he asked her. He tried to push his way into the crowd but it was a bit harder than he thought as he got pushed back out. He sighed as he tried to come up with a way to see as he smirked and lifted Akari up a bit and set her on his shoulder "can you see now?" he said as he rear was set on his shoulder.

Kazumi did not let any surprise show on her face. To make sure, she took the hannya mask that rode on the side of her head and slipped it over her face. While Yuuna-san was still close, she said quietly, "I have voice recordings, though if you need 'her' to say anything meaningful, we're going to need a computer with the right kind of editing programs." then she pushed the mask up, and said in a more normal voice, "Bad idea, too hot."


Ken tried not to let anything show on his face except relief. Inside the turmoil still churned. None of the others seemed to have the problem he was having. he could forget for short periods of time, but always it came back to a girl had been kidnapped and he had not been able to stop it and even now was not doing anything to get her back. He tried to put aside these thoughts and tried to put Tatsumiya's advice into action, to find that calm and quiet. She had used an odd metaphor--that of a typhoon, or more familiarly to him, a hurricane. Snatches of conversation and disjointed phrases came back to him.


Mana merely nodded her head, taking in all that Akashi-san regaled Asakura with. She wondered how this plan would work and how would they go about forcing confessions from those they captured, if any. She hoped there would be a place they could all retire to and hash out what was expected of everyone. It looked like it would get dangerous rather quickly.  

[Lip-Desu]

Negi closes his student list and stows it away again before facing Yuuna and Asakura. "Well, I'm off to gather a student that might be skipping out on school and to make a delivery the Dean asked me to make. You guys keep up the work with looking for Konoe-san, (and if there's nothing for you to do right away, please enjoy yourself, but be ready), and contact me if you need my assistance right away!" He nods to them before heading off, leaving his students to the search while he goes to take care of an errand and track down a student...

[Negi leaves to the Harmonia Estate.]

Akari couldn't see as she tried to peek over the crowd and push through. Not able to get through, she was about to use her ki to push her way through when Kaito lifted her up and put her on his shoulders. Balancing herself on his shoulders she looks up at the play. "Much better...but now you cant' see." She rubs his ears lightly with her fingers.  

[Angelofdeath690]

Tsukuyomi was following the group with Kenneth when the little boy seemed to leave them. She looked at Kenneth if it was a chance to 'play their part' as she saw it. She was moving through the crowd with little trouble as she kept her distance a bit in case something else happened that she needed to be prepared for.  

[Angelofdeath690]

Kaito looked up at her as she rubbed his ear he as she told him he couldn't see "I cant but i can see it from you" he said as he could ask her what she would think. He shifted his shoulder as he made sure she was set there and wouldn't fall off. "How is the show?" he asked as he put his hand on her waist.  

[Altral]

Akari watches the show, actually finding it quite boring. Sliding off his shoulders, carefully maneuvering herself down, she lands on the ground next to him, straightening her attire so she didnt look like a wreck. "It's alright, but I'd rather see nothing and be beside you." She stands next to him, smiling warmly. Shows werent her type of thing anyways. She holds his hands and manages to push themselves a little closer, so they could at least see a little better from before, but not much. Taking his hand, she places it back on her waist where he had it earlier, liking it there.  

[Angelofdeath690]

Kaito looked at her as she slid down off his shoulder and was fixing her clothes. SHe told him she rather be beside him than watch the play and he gave her a warm smile as she held his hand and tried to make their way through the crowd. They made it a bit closer as he looked at what he could see, his hand was moved around her waist as he held her there good and tight. He was going to make sure that they weren't separated as he leaned up against her and watched the show.  

[Altral]

Akari was leaning against Kaito, enjoying the show. Kaito's arm was around her waist and he was holding her tightly so the two wouldn't get seperated. "What do you want to do after this?" She asked, looking over at him for a moment, drawing her attention away from the show.

She tilted her head to the side, as though questioning the false statement, but her voice whispered, "No, we only need a short sample of her voice. Claude-san can impersonate her voice once he's heard enough of it." She gave a nod, then said, "Yeah, I guess it would be too hot to wear something like that," as though they'd been discussing costumes from the shop they stood outside. She turned to head toward the shop, passing by Mana as she did, and as she passed, she quietly requested, "You've got good eyes, right Mana-san? Keep an eye out to see if anyone's paying us too much attention, hm?" And then she disappeared into the costume shop, leaving 'Konoka' under the eyes of Kazumi, Mana, and Ken.  

[Urd Tanzanite]

Kazumi fished around in the recesses of her yukata for her little pouch and came up with her recorder. "Ah, Konoka-san? Good thing you;re here. There are some follow up questions i wanted to ask you. But first, we should refresh your memory." It took a few tries of rewinding and fast-forwarding, but she found the interview where she had cornered Konoka-san after witnessing one of the o-miai the dean, her grandfather, had set up.


Ken stepped up to offer Konoka a takoyaki ball and in doing so also took up a flanking position. He took out his cellphone and began snapping pictures of some of the more interesting costumes, but all the while, he kept his eye out for those from the night before.


Mana shook her head when she saw what Ken was doing. It was OK to have props but not ones you would not mind dropping at a moment's notice. She wondered how much time he would lose putting away the phone before drawing? Any time was too much time.

On the other hand, her prop was about six feet of rather stout wood and had some rather substantial ornamentation topping it off; she was already, technically, armed. She turned away from Ken, trusting that he would at least keep an eye on his quadrants.
