Taimanin: Tokyo Kingdom Chronicles

[KnightVanilla]

"Well... thats a job well done." With her hounds surrounding her she moves to pet each one of them. She knows its pretty much like petting herself, but she deserved a good pat on the back it was well deserved. Only moments after she finally noticed the new message.... and they lost their self proclaimed leader. Well god damn it.... maybe she should had been on that mission she would had made a difference she sure of it. Quick to message them back about the captured incubus and the rescued girls before leaving off with her hounds back to base. Well if Almata was alive she would soon go on to rescue her.

[exalted]

"Yeah, when do you want the job done?" Jacky giggled as she quickly took the case and locked it again before anyone took too great an interest on what was inside.

She knew there was no point in running or trying to scam these guys, they'd found her once they could always find her again; of course that meant securing the money as well so they couldn't kill her get it easily back. Leaving the table with the case she walked out back and whistled for Mikey's attention, asking him to hide the case away for her once they were out of ear shot from everyone.

"So, was that steak the only meat you were going to give me?" She'd smile, wrapping her arms around his neck, wanting to kick this job off in a positive mood.

[MASigma]

Akane sighed in relief, glad she'd finally managed to make it into the big city given how long it'd taken her just to arrive," Thanks man, keep safe", The tomboy Taimanin told the sailor, patting his shoulder as she slid onto the dock, carrying a large bag over her shoulder as she made her way towards the Taimanin Safe House. She'd of course been given a report on the recent loses they'd already suffered, the Red-Mane threat here clearing wasn't something to take lightly... but that was how she wanted it, a light smirk sliding onto her lips at the thought of taking down the Red-Mane responsible for what occurred tonight... but first she needed to get settled in. As she arrived at the safe house and made her way inside, she wondered if any of her comrades were still about or if they were all out on their missions.

[ZeroParadox]

"Then let's go someplace more private, shall we?", Hibiki suggests as he makes himself presentable. He'll tip the driver and thank him before escorting the girls to his private elevator to the top floor. When the doors open the girls are presented with an extraordinarily lavish and open apartment that seemed to take up the entire top floor. Decked out in modern furniture and art the place was a sight to behold to most people. Large sprawling windows gave a nearly unimpeded view of the surrounding city, just right for viewing from the full bar, indoor pool and hot tub or any of the other luxuries within Hibiki's home.

"So, ladies, what do you think?", he asks nonchalantly.

[FragranceofMtDew]

"The Shotgun", eh? It definitely sounded like the kinda dive you'd see around these parts, but it was also the first bar Izumi saw so she'd head inside. She was pleasantly surprised by what she found inside, a small smile playing across her lips as the young bartender addressed her respectfully. There was something to be said for drinking in the heart of Red Mane territory when no one even bats an eye at a one armed woman carrying a sword. "Whiskey. Whatever's strongest please." She replies, hardly being much an alcohol connoisseur and favoring more bang for her buck so to speak.

After placing her order, Izumi lit up her pipe to enjoy a nice smoke with her drink. It was the that she noticed the blonde man. It took a bit of thinking but she finally recalled that he had been meeting with King earlier and chuckled silently at the memory of him being shot down by Mei. He seemed a bit too high class for a place like this, so Izumi figured it would be best to keep an eye on him just to be on the safe side.

[Icaelus]

Aynn took a breath, willing herself to calm down and think logically. Almata was gone now, perhaps beyond saving..but she was a valuable member of their team and if anything else, they could at the very least lay her to rest if she had died. And while recovering a corpse wasn't exactly high priority, it would be high on her to-do list regardless of the mission.
It was all you could do to honor the dead and fight in their memory..
"I'm glad the two of you made it out, Jill, Kal. Must've gone to hell quicker than I could've imagined.."
The girl sank into the worn sofa with a huff, wondering what would've happened if she had been there to support the team..well, no good thinking about that now. No use mulling over past events when there was the future to plan for..
She glanced over at Kal as she spoke, listening to her thoughts on the safehouse possibly being compromised with Almata's capture. It didn't seem like Almata was the sort to divulge information that could lead to their discovery..but it did make sense. She had seen firsthand what the demons could do to even the most conditioned of Taimanin, and it wasn't pretty. Some were little more than drooling invalids waiting for their next fuck, unable to think of anything else aside sex.
Apparently they did have a second safehouse, though. Well, great. No chance to get comfy in a wreck of a house like this one. She looked at her own terminal as Saito informed them on the secondary safehouse's location, her lilac eyes scanning through the city harbour's area. There, found it. Looked..safe enough, yeah.

"Let's get moving while it's still night out, yeah? I don't want to be seen toting guns around in bright daylight..and Jill's armor does kinda blend in with the shadows, huh? Can't imagine it doing the same in daylight."
Aynn suggested, grinning at the two Taimanin. It was a sound idea and she knew it. There was no use in hunkering down in a possibly compromised location to rest; the tension of needing to guard the place would probably ensure they wouldn't get much sleep over it, anyway. She could only hope Almata hadn't squealed..

It was as if all her worst fears were coming true when the entrance to the loft creaked open, Aynn flipping over the sofa for cover and instantly drawing her G18C in one fluid moment. Was it the enemy? Had Almata truly betrayed them? She raised the gun..to point at what obviously was another Taimanin..Awkward. Heeey, so what if she was a little jumpy? It paid to be careful, right?!
Blushing furiously with embarrassment at her overreaction, Aynn made haste, quickly righting the sofa and holstering her gun while murmuring a quick apology to the rest of the group. She looked up at the newcomer, a hint of shame still present on her face as she forced a small smile at the girl.
"H-Hello. I'm Aynn..uh, hope I didn't surprise you too much..heheh?"
Gods. This was just downright embarrassing.

[MASigma]

Akane blinked as she found another Taimanin just up and raising their gun at her upon her entry into the safe house, blinking blankly even as the other Taimanin seemed to become overly embarrassed over her reaction, though cracked a bit of a smirk as the woman introduced herself and apologized," Ain't nothin' to worry about, I heard about what happened so it's easy enough to understand you being all jumpy", Akane noted, giving everyone else a wave as she shut the door behind her,"... Also nice gun there, would love to give it a look over sometime if you didn't mind", Akane noted, taking a moment to look over Aynn before smiling brightly, reaching out to just hug the shorter girl to herself... directing her head right to her chest of course," Awww, who could stay upset with such a cutie either! I'm Akane but if you REALLY feel bad about aiming a gun at me you can make it up to me and call me "Big Sister" or even "Onee-sama" depending on your preference", she offered with a giggle.

[Icaelus]

Aynn heaved a short sigh of relief at the newcomer's easygoing attitude. Forgiven just like that, whew. If it had been her who had a gun shoved in her face..well, she wouldn't take too kindly to that, although she would eventually forgive the culprit. Except that this time, the culprit was her. Yep.
"Ah..thank you for understanding."
She smiled, this time with no need to force it at all. This new girl was okay, wasn't she? And she even liked guns? Awesome. Aynn happily took the Glock out of the holster she wore by her hip, running her fingers lovingly across the sleek metal.
"Glock 18C. Full auto at 1.2k rounds per minute. Yep, love i-"
Aynn all but went silent when the newcomer stepped over and enveloped her in a hug, pushing her head right into her breasts. She nearly fumbled the Glock then, managing to retain some scrap of composure and returning the weapon to its holster.
Uh. Why was she being hugged? What..?
"Umm..hello, Akane. Why're you..y'know..um, hugging me?"
Her voice came out pitched for some reason, her embarrassment burning on high along with her rapidly reddening face. She had never been one for this sort of close contact with other people..but somehow..well, this didn't feel too uncomfortable?
"B-Big Sis? O-Onee-sama?! I don't prefer either of those!"
Aynn protested, a slight bit of annoyance entering her still rather squeaky voice now. Oi, just what was this Akane treating her as? She was a full-fledged Taimanin, okay?

[MASigma]

"No problem, no point being overly upset over a simple mistake... not like you actually shot at me after all", Akane pointed out with a light wink, mentally noting the type of gun Aynn apparently had, mentally running through any modifications she might be able to do to such a weapon... but that could wait, he was enjoying huggle time for the moment,"Mmm, I'm hugging you because you're so cute of course...", she noted as if it was obviously, having yet to release Aynn as she just continued to enjoy the shorter girl being held to herself... only to pout upon Aynn apparently not wanting to call her such thing," Awww... but it'd make me so happy!", Akane whined, looked saddened as she looked down, only to note the tone of annoyance... sighing as she released Aynn, patting the shorter girls head lightly," Fine fine, but if you change your mind let me know", she noted, offering a smile in a wink before pulling back a bit," So then, how about a tour of this place... assuming you know this place well enough, if not how about you and I look into something to do together, eh?"

[MelissaB]

Enjoying the trip in silence, leaning on Yumiko as she still feels tired and worn out from their battle in the hotel room defending Doki from his assassins. "Remind me to never let you kiss me." She states and gives the demon a smirk before she finally takes her weight off of the once ninja and leans back in her seat in the car enjoying what rest se can get before they arrive back at the tower.

heading back up into the office she nods before realizing who they were speaking to. "Okay... do you often switch bodies?" She asks him before they are departed, too tired to argue to stick around a little more as she heads towards her room to get some well earned rest. Nodding to her allies she waves them off before finding a shadow holding the door open for her as she steps inside with her following behind her. "Were you watching me while I was poisoned?" She asks her shadow before shrugging. stripping down while the shadow watches and does the same though it's clothes just fade into nothing before she climbs into bed, patting the spot next to her before the shadow nods and joins her crawling over the ed to join her and wrapping her in shadowy limbs to cuddle the shadow ninja. Sighing she closes her eyes and fades off to get some well deserved sleep.

Taimanin Side

Information Gathering Roll, Kal (Wis) : 5 + 0 = 5

As you move through the city you aren't able to pick up any information on Almata's location. You reach the new hideout. It's an even smaller then the last one. A small one story shack by the water. The kitchen, bedrooms and living area were all linked. There you meet the new Taimanin Agent. "Akane Sakurazaki if I'm not mistake. Welcome to our little group. I'm Saito. I'm your liaison on this assignment. " The male ninja says to introduce himself to the new arrival. "It's been a long day and I think we all need some rest, we'll regroup in the morning. " Saito says. He then takes the first watch to allow the others a chance to rest.

_______________________


You wake up the next day to have a simple breakfast. As you sit by the small wooden table in the shack's living room, Saito opens the larger digital terminal to detail the missions for the day. 'Alright, me and Aynn retrieved some data on three of the captured Taimanin agents. On top of that, the Red Mane seem poised to reopen the Chaos Arena. This will mean big trouble for us in the future. But first things first, we need to rescue these agents no matter what condition they are in . Here are the details":

Mission 1: Rescue Mission: Suzuka Tamagawa

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

"This is Suzuka Tamagawa, she was the leader of the last group" Saito shows the group a photo of a woman ( https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2152239?tags=ninja ). "From Raksa's information, she is being held in an office building near the financial district." He takes a moment to clear his throat. "Here she's being used for the personal relief of the office staff. There's also word that she is going to be moved to a more secure location before they open the Chaos Arena. We need to retrieve her before that" Saito then shows you the location of the office building as well as the expected floor. "This is in the heart of the Red Mane's Territory so be on guard. I'll need a Team of two to secure her"

Mission 2: Rescue Mission: Jennifer Wilson

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

"Next is Jennifer Wilson, she's was fresh from the Taimanin Academy" Saito then shows the group the photo ( https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/27505? ... blond). "It appears she's being held at a restaurant called the Vendetta. She's been used as a part of their daily BDSM. It seems it doubles as a training facility for the women they capture. Owned by a Madame Cross, the best time to retrieve her is before they start their night show. I need Two people to retrieve her" Saito then provides them with a detailed layout of the Vendetta restaurant as well as some files on the staff and Madame Cross

Mission 3: Rescue Mission: Almata Drazinor

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Saito sits down on a small stool and looks seriously at the group. "Whether Almata is alive or not is something we have to confirm. Say what you will about her, she does have some clout behind her. So chances are good she's being held in captivity somewhere. I need two of you to look into her location. Start at the hotel and work any leads you can. I've contact you if I come across anything. If you find her, you have the go ahead to launch a rescue mission." It looked like this would be a two part mission. Information Gathering and a possible raid"

Saito finishes his breakfast and addresses the group. " There is one more agent to rescue, Maribelle Maxim. She's under the least amount of security so I'll be retrieving her alone." He then sat and waited for any questions on each Mission.

Meanwhile .....

"You of the demon and human? Of the ones that become what we once worshiped" You've heard this phrase a few times before. Usually by those members of the family who have fully given into their demonic heritage. He seems to smile at your complement. " You have a keen eye, though I think you missed a few" The man says still reading his tome. You look around to see that some of the magic circles are actually for summoning. He continues to listen to you talk, simply nodding. " You shouldn't sell yourself short. You have a role to play outside of a bargaining chip. But first we have to prepare you." With that you see three thin tendrils slide out of the summoning circles on the roof and right below you. They seem to have needles on them and puncture your neck, left breast and thigh. Soon a strange heat comes over you like you've never experienced. Not just your nethers but your entire body becomes extremely sensitive to any touch. These three tendrils retreat after finishing their job and three thicker ones take its place. They removed what ever remained of Almata's clothing leaving her naked and position themselves with one over each breast and once under her crotch. All three then opened up into that could only be described as a fleshy flower with three petals. The interior of each petal covered in small nubs. They immediately grabbed onto her body and began to suck and vibrate. The ones on her breast playing with her nipples while the one around her pussy rubbed against her clitoris. "I'll return again tomorrow to see if you're more cooperative." The man says as he leaves Almata to this pleasurable torture all night. The tentacles continue to play with Almata's body. Every time she was close to an orgasm, the beasts would deny her the release by simply stopping. Then after a bit of time they would start again. Then continued into the morning when the man returned. "So how are we feeling?" He said smugly.

Red Mane Side

Information Gathering, Izumi (Wis): 3 - 3 =0

It may be the whiskey or all the noise but you can't keep track of the man in the bar. All in all it is a relaxing night outside of a few patrons trying to start a bar fight.

Going back to Hibiki's apartment, all three girls gasp at how luxurious it was. "You must be some CPO to afford a place like this." Ringo comments. You can see Kikyo make a beeline for the full bar while Rei just stands by the door way. "Hey I know how to make a mean cocktail, just leave the liquor to me." She yells as she got right to serving everyone. Rei then fully enters the apartment and closes the door ....

King just gives Zera a hearty chuckle while not really answering her question. In the same fashion, her shadow doesn't really answer her question as well. It's only in her dreams that she is confronted by the shadowy creature again ( http://www.zerochan.net/130256 ). You remember seeing the same creature once before when you first peaked at the forbidden box. At first it was silent. Then it spoke softly. "You've progressed well young one. But unless you let the shadows consume you, you will never master them." You then see shadowy limbs stretch out towards you. However before they can reach you, the dream ends and you awaken.

When Hibiki wakes up the next morning, he finds himself naked, in bed with Ringo, Rei & Kikyo. You feel a bit more energetic then you have in years. You think back on the events of last night. After drinking and talking with the three girls you eventually have a make-out session in the hot tube. Once you dry off and head to the bedroom as Kikyo and Ringo both sucked you off. Then you move on to the main event, Rei's first time. The two of you engage in a bit of foreplay as you explore each other's bodies while Ringo and Kikyo watch. Once Rei is ready you insert yourself into her and steal her maidenhood. That's when things get fuzzy. You felt something in your blood awaken. Your lovemaking becomes more passionate and Rei responds immediately. The night proceeds with you fucking Ringo, Rei and Kikyo in various positions; sometimes doing all four of them at once. All three girls seem to be exhausted and fast asleep. You could play with them some more, have them stay or have them taken to your brothel. For now though, you seem to have received another message from Mei Feung this time. Zera, Manka, Izumi, Nora & Yumiko all receive the same message, to meet at the first floor of Mankai .

Once everyone arrives, Mei leads them into a large conference room. " It seems everyone is here, I'll begin then" Mei states as she moves to the front of the room. "As you may have heard, the Red Mane has come into possession of the Chaos Arena. We plan to open soon but we have a few loose ends to tie up". Mei then goes through the day's missions:

Mission 1: Retreival Mission: Suzuka Tamagawa

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

"This is Suzuka Tamagawa, she was the leader of a group of Taimanin agents we captured" Mei says as she shows the group a photo of a woman ( https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2152239?tags=ninja ). "She currently being lent out to one of our offices in the financial district as office toy. Because of her reputation in the underworld, she'll be our open act for the Arena's reopening. I'll need a Team of two to retrieve her. She will remain here in the Tower until the opening, She's already been well trained but don't let your guard down, we may get a visit from the group from last night."

Mission 2: Errand for Dr. Kusanagi

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

"I need two of you to meet with Dr. Kusanagi downstairs in the laboratory. He hasn't given me the details He never does. But it appears he needs some assistance with a few of his experiments. A word of warning, if your not careful you'll end up one of his subjects"

Mission 3: Breaking up the Competition

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

"Finally, before we open the Chaos Arena we need to take care of some of the imitators." Mei then brings up a gaudy looking building with "Chaos Stadium" on the front. " The Chaos stadium was started about a year after Edwin's Black's death. It's run by a goblin called Limowitz Shasar. He plans to open today before we open. He's already been stealing most of the fighter in town as well as some of our prized guests" Mei then slams her hand on the desk "I'm not going to stand by and let this little upstart ruin our plans. I want to of you to deal with this. Negotiate or use force if you have to." Mei seemed visibly angry at the goblin and his stadium.

"Genghis and I will not be available but if you have any questions please ask them now. As always there are cars waiting to take you to either location" Mei says as she finished the presentation.

Jacky's Side

"You start tomorrow. The trailer will be at the designated location. Hitting all the target areas shouldn't take more then a day. At that time bring the trailer to the northern harbor." Mr Smith said before leaving "Good Luck Ms. Burton" Was the last thing you hear as he leaves the bar.

Mikey heard Jacky whistle. Once he saw the cases he know exactly what to do. He locked the money in the bar safe. It was the safest location in the bar. When you wrap you arms around the large man he just smiles. "Looks like it's time I made my delivery." He quipped as he began to kiss Jacky. It was rough and forceful, just as you remembered. You then feel his large hands all over your body as he eventually begins to cup your ass.

[exalted]

Jacky moaned fiercely as she felt Mike's hands run over her body again. It hadn't been the first time they'd done this, and she hoped it wouldn't be the last. The road could be an empty, lonely place, a cozy bed and meaningful human contact was always too far away. It was nothing serious, she had no plans of staying with Mike or settling down, just right now she needed to know see was needed and wanted, even if it was only in that way.

Her hands trailed down from his neck over the hard muscle in his chest, coming to rest upon his belt which she fumbled to undo. Hearing his pants clatter to the floor she leapt up, wrapping her legs around his waist and locking behind him, making him carry her.

[Zender_Solarheart]

After getting back to the old safe house, and throughout the trip to the new one, Jill remains uncharacteristically quiet. That last mission wasn't her first one gone wrong, but even in past blunders, she usually found a way to make up for it by at least taking a lot of the enemies down before pulling out. That cluster-fuck at the hotel, though...that was just plain wrong. Not only did they take a casualty (nearly two), but the Ripper couldn't kill even a single hostile before they had to evac themselves. It is, without a doubt, her greatest failure, and she is not taking it well.

However, when Saito mentions a rescue op involving Almata, Jill's spirits lift a bit, and she immediately marches over to the liaison, and makes her intentions clear: "If we're getting Almata back, I want...no, I need in. I had assumed that she'd be following us out when I made a run for it. Obviously I was mistaken, but it was still me making that mistake, so I'll do whatever I can to make up for it." For the first time in a long while, Jill feels something that most of her prior assignments didn't instill in her: a sense of responsibility, and a personal reason for the mission. She's not yet sure who her partner is, but the info-gathering part will be best left up to her partner, obviously. Once it's time for the raid, however, the Ripper will show no mercy. These fuckers have shamed her and taken one of her comrades captive, and that's more than enough reason to personally resent them. Well, if they want to make things personal, they just succeeded. Soon enough, they're gonna wish they hadn't done that. The mere thought of what she could do to those Red Mane bastards has a faint red glint in her cybernetic eyes, though one would have to pay quite a bit of attention to spot it just by looking at her.

[Reaver]

Almata's teeth were bared as she snarled at the man. Words wouldn't do her justice for the amount of hate she held for this failed Drazinor, this corrupted being, a demon that she might have once called uncle or brother. She strained as much as she could against the chains, willing her body to tear through these chains and consume this man in a blazing inferno. But she knew that was impossible and eventually slumped back in her chains under his infuriating gaze. "Summoning circles eh?" Maintaining her cool and taking several deep breaths as she could only watch the tendrils slowly rise and sway around her body. It wasn't ego or narcissism that brought the feeling up, but all of this had to be for her. If demons wanted to break a human, they wore her will out through raw fucking while demonic magic played on their psyche and tainted their soul, this was something special and the summoning circles confirmed what the magic-negating chains had suggested, they had been waiting for a Drazinor. Her cool demeanor cracked as the tendrils stabbed her on three locations, fearing that they would physically pump the corruption inside of her body, breaking her physical form before her spiritual one. "I will personally deliver your ashes to our All-Father! You gave into the corruption, no better than a human!" She yelled furiously, knowing these could be her last words before being corrupted and turned into who knew what.

Then the fire filled her body. It was like the feeling she felt when she incinerated others but more volatile, more fragile. She didn't even notice the other tentacles tearing her clothes away until the cold air wafted against her nude body. It felt like a million lit matches were against her skin, except none of them burned her, only warmed her up further to an almost insufferable point. "Ah-h! Betrayer! Philissst-ine!" Trying not to seem like she was succumbing to the sexual torture in front of her corrupted sibling.

It was a perverse situation and one that Almata had never been trained for. Drazinor field operatives were many but very valuable to the clan so to maintain the lowest chance of early corruption, they rarely taught physical sexual resistance, fearing that it could become the seeds of lust and corruption from within. Demonic tampering and protecting her spirit did her little good if her body and mind would crumble long before her soul followed. Physical stimulation was unknown to her so when the bigger tendrils latched onto her hard nipples and unexplored clitoris, Almata found her back instinctively arching in extreme pleasure. Her scream echoed throughout the room as she closed her eyes.

Her scattered thoughts brought her back to a time when she had been training a decade ago with the All-Father, the man who had originally slayed their demon master before her time and had claimed his pocket dimension for their own. They had stood in the eye of a firestorm that he had been trying to slowly release into Almata's control but the storm always began disperse or go out of control whenever she tried. "Fire is part of our nature, great daughter of mine." He had said while they took a break. "We are easily fed and can cross mighty distances with enough time, destroy almost anything in our path but we can just as easily be snuffed out or deprived of our will and forced to light a different, much darker path. I will not lie to you, there is a chance that your fiery flame will be turned against you someday. You must remember you control the eye of the firestorm, only you and you must maintain absolute control over it." It still didn't make much sense to the now adept demon-slayer but the memory brought her a bit of comfort before she neared the edge again and began screaming again.

The morning found her drenched in sweat, limp and with a hoarse voice and clear puddle of juices underneath her and around her knees.. The tendrils had been relentless, depriving her of any chance of recovery or sleep throughout the night. Her nipples and clit were swollen from almost non-stop stimulation and there was a clear trail of saliva going from down her chin, between her breasts and covering her mound. It seemed at some point Almata had tried to provide enough stimulation to get off or disrupt the tendrils by providing extra lubrication to her crotch by her spit. It hadn't worked though.

"Tired. But since you dropped by I figure I should ask for a bucket of water to clean myself." Keeping herself civil as she bit back another moan. She had learned more about her own body in these hours than in her entire life. The pleasure came like ocean waves, ebbing and flowing and although it never truly overwhelmed her, she knew when she was about to hit a high-point and thus knew when she was about to moan. "You could also tell me if what is expected of me." Her defiance was still there, bubbling under the surface alongside her pleasure but now it wouldn't get her anywhere or information. She was dealing with a Drazinor, being upfront was the best bet. "You obviously plan on using me for something but since you're here and I'm not corrupted I assume you need someone, a Drazinor that hasn't succumbed yet. Let me know if I'm correct."

[KnightVanilla]

Dropping by the New safe house she had her hounds convert back into their neutral form. No need to alarm the team as the sudden deactivation had her feel the effects of the mental drain from her hounds. Tired.... Was all she thought as she greeted everyone before hitting the hay.

A dreamless sleep as she woke up early to eat and for the next mission. All three seemed important however Almata seemed to be getting rescued by those she suceeded in protecting. If they needed to do this to find out whether she's alive or not that's up to them.

"I'll take care of rescuingn Suzuka... I'm more than flexible if we have to come to blows or worse comes to worse." Lawrie stated finishing her meal as she says so.

[Icaelus]

"Alright, alright! I get it! Just lemme go!"
Aynn cried out, squirming a bit in Akane's grasp. It would've been a piece of cake to simply break out with brute force, but they were just messing around, weren't they? No need to get all..robot mode and stuff.
Still, Akane was the exact type of person that Aynn had the hardest time dealing with. Too..huggy. Emotional, possibly. The kind that liked establishing close relationships with their comrades..
The kind that you couldn't abandon even if you had to, because they were such a close existence to you.
Even with Aynn's grim outlook on relationships, she still couldn't prevent her blush reddening another shade darker when Akane patted her head, her fingers gently trailing along her violet hair.
"..I'm not too familiar with the place myself..and we'll see about the mission."
She folded her arms rather huffily. Either way, it was time to turn in for the night..

Aynn slept soundly throughout the rest of the night, despite the trouble that had befallen them. There wasn't much point in letting herself mull over Almata's fate. Each Taimanin steeled themselves for whatever would become of them if ever captured. It was part and parcel of their duty. The most they could do for her now is to possibly find out her location, then mount a rescue mission. Whatever happened after that was another story.
She was the second to awake, systematically going through her daily morning routine before she reported over to the wooden table, where Saito was beginning his briefing. She had managed to at least snag a piece of toast before, so she now sat chewing the rather dry toast while listening to the brief. Again, there were three missions of import.
The first two was presumably from the data they had received from Raksa yesterday. Rescue ops for the two Taimanin women, then. The third mission, however, immediately got Aynn's attention.
Almata. It wasn't even a lead or whatever, but Saito was launching a mission for this. Gather information to her possible location and then breach and secure. Simple enough, but then again, the assassination mission yesterday had been, too. There was no accounting for when things went horribly wrong..

Aynn stood up at the mention of Almata, her eyes following Jill's march over to the table. She immediately made clear her intention to retrieve Almata and boy, she had a clear objective..
"I'm up for getting Almata back, too. Count me in on this."
She looked over to Jill, meeting the glint in the cyborg girl's eyes. She nodded once in acknowledgement. No words needed to be said. They lost a comrade, now they were gonna get her back. End of story.

Akane giggled, enjoying the blush she'd earned out of Aynn before they all turned in for the night, figuring she'd get under her fellow Taimanin's skin in time. Of course the next day brought forth their mission options, Akane frowning a tad at all the rescue missions... had things really fallen down the deep end that they ended up losing so many of their own people? Seeing everyone focus on Almata was understandable... though it left her worried for the other two Taimanin that required rescue. Though as Lawrie seemed to speak up in regards to rescuing Suzuka, Akane managed a light smile... that left one mission unattended, but despite Lawrie's apparent confidence there was no way she was letting her fellow Taimanin go without back-up. Making her way over towards Lawrie, she wrapped her arm around the other girl's shoulder, offering a bit of a grin," Mind if I back you up then?"

Manka spent all her time in her room while she awaited for the next time her services were needed. After being summoned and lead to a conference room by Mei, she remained quiet, listening to the various missions. When Mei expressed anger at the third mission, her lips perked up and she grinned. "I'll gladly devour this goblin for you. It should send a message to anyone else who tries to start up their own arena's without permissions!" She exclaims, crossing her arms and nodding like some kinda feudal lord. After all was said and done, she'd make her way down to a van to be brought to the appropriate destination for her chosen mission.

Kal had spent the night watching the crew enter the safe house, she made sure to enter quietly herself keeping out of view, she wanted to be left alone for the time being. Find a spot to stay hidden she slept over the night and when Saito came into to brief them on the missions, she listened quietly to them. She had planned on going to rescue Almata but Saito seemed to be making each mission require two people which was impressive seeing as there were currently only 5 of them active at the moment.

With Saito taking a four mission himself, ”I’ll take getting Jennifer, though if your wanting us to do these jobs as two people per job I’m going to have to wait for one of the other missions to finish.”

Not that Kal really cared she was happy enough to take the mission on her own, she didn’t wait for Saito to correct his mistake or to tell her to join one of the other missions they needed someone to attempt to extract Jennifer. She would just have to be creative in how she worked, she studied the layout of vendetta whilst she made her way stealthly through the streets.

Walking back into the meeting room Zera leads the way with her shadow lagging behind, the two of them shooting the other glares and death stares, seemingly having a falling out during the night as she listens to Mei explain the next few missions. Humming she shakes her head before glancing at the shadow as if seeking it's option before it holds up two fingers. "We'll help the doctor then. Where do I need to go again?" She asks before glancing at the shadow. "We rather. Where do we need to go." She asks Mei before nodding once she has her answer and wanders off to the Doctor's lab, she can wait for whoever decides to join her there. Seemingly having a silent argument with her shadow on the way out until the shadow full on slaps her across the face as the doors close.
