Ithuriel blinks and coughs awkwardly. She wasn't expecting to get asked about her god. "Um, would you believe that despite me being one of his angels, I don't know him that well? He's the god or, well a god I guess since there's so many around here- of redemption. He's often referred to as the god of second chances as his followers strive to help all those have fallen in whatever manner that may be and give them a second chance in life. Or in my case, death. At this point I basically have complete freedom to do as I wish, so long as I remember that I represent him and should aid those in need of it when I can. In terms of conlicts of interest, I guess it'd make me hesitant to use lethal force as everyone deserves their shot at redemption, even if it's from inside a prison cell? I don't know where Intersection draws the line on that." Ithuriel shrugs. It's not like she hasn't had to spill blood before when she's been left with no choice, but she'd rather...not.Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes.

Cookware Store
((I hope you don't mind if I play the cashier. Otherwise let me know and I can edit.))
The cashier is a strange looking woman - she looks mostly human, but with distinct patterns of white scales across her arms and face, coupled with white horns protruding forward from the sides of her head, and if Ezra tried to look, a tail of the same color. She just looks at Ezra like he wasn't even a little bit special. "You're in Kitchen Dreams. It's a store. And as for this planet, who knows? There's bunches of small authorities all around, that's it."
Onora and Pod 132 are here, looking at a shelf of pots and pans. "What, humans used these to cook?"
Kushiro Inn
Keiko tries to focus more on her breathing. "Surely not the same bird Makuro spoke of," she says. It wasn't possible, but she saw the door and window. A bird couldn't have flown in.

"Two?" Ithuriel blinks and looks round at Michalson. "Oh, uh, hi! I'm Ithuriel. Nice to meet you. I guess we should get in there?" She offers her hand to Michalson to shake. If he accepts, he'll probably find his hand rather painfully squeezed by her grip - not intentionally, she's just got a lot of strength to her.
Ithuriel then turns and makes her way into the assigned room, sitting herself down (a little awkwardly, damn wings!) if there's space to do so.Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

Re: Inside 66: Order up!
KABAL Territory
There is another door that can be opened from the inside. Once she opens it, she finds herself in a even larger room when the lights automatically flicker to life above her. This room is filled with various food containers such as barrels with more of the same goblin giving her the thumbs up, but now dressed up in a pickle outfit. Indeed, it seems like the goblin is showing up on every can, box, and container in the entire storehouse dressed in various food-associated outfits. Always giving her the thumbs up, while smiling widely.
But she won't have the time to consider that as she can hear shouts outside. "Get him you, you cowards!"
Then there is a lot of swearing as she hears running. Looks like they finally decided to go after her.
Navigating the storehouse might be difficult though, this place is a maze of shelves filled with various food products.
"Good pick, now you just gotta outrun them. Unless they decide to guard the exits of course. They know this territory very well, its their turf after all." The eye decides to comment as she runs.

"Oh. I'm sorry." Ithuriel stares at her hand awkwardly as she takes it back. She didn't think her grip was strong enough to make people wince. Although Michalson does look a little on the frail side...
"I don't really know exactly what I want to get out of this. I don't think I've got the brains or the experience to be a detective. Maybe I can just be someone's "dumb muscle" or something." She lets out a slight chuckle. While her strength is apparent, Ithuriel hardly looks the part to play the role of dumb muscle.Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes.

Re: Inside 66: Order up!

"I see. If it was fresh damage I might be able to help you with that, but my healing powers are nowhere near potent enough to cure old wounds." Ithuriel tilts her head, a little thrown off by Michalson's rather rough manner of speaking. A combination of being raised by a noble family in life (or unlife) and servitude to a deity in death means she speaks quite eloquently and periodically uses big fancy words. "I- ah, yes, haha, I suppose Inside is quite the anthill, isn't it? Honestly most anthills probably look a lot neater than this place. And it certainly seems like Intersection needs more people to help out."Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes.

Michalson waves his hand. It happens to him a lot.
"Anthill is just what we call a town or city back in Sigil," he explains. "Or the Hive Ward, which is the lovely slum of Sigil I crawled outta.

Well, that makes sense. "Oh, I see. I guess that's an appropriate name. I'm sure they'll be able to make use of you. You can do subtle. I, uh, can't. It's hard to hide wings."

It's perhaps a testament to Michalson's past as a citizen of Sigil and subsequent planeswalking adventures that this doesn't really phase him.

Within their designated room is a large table and a few simple wooden chairs. Sitting across the table is a large, jet-black griffin wearing what seems to be a black quadruped equivalent of a duster and a policeman's cap. He eyes them warmly.
"How about you two sit down, tell me a little about yourselves. I'm reviewing your paperwork." he says, taking a sip from an absolutely bizarre-shaped coffee mug designed with his beak in mind.Last edited by Deathkeeper; 2018-04-27 at 04:25 PM.

Michalson seems to be surrounded by people with wings today. He opts to start first.
"I've been a freelancin' adventurer an' planeswalker for a while now, chief," he says. "Born an' raised in the fine anthill they call the Hive Ward of Sigil. It's as ugly an' smelly as it sounds. But there was no way except up from there. Or spireward, I guess. Sigil's kind of barmy that way." He realizes he's rambling and gets to the point. "I've learned all sorts o' skills in my career, but I'm mostly an occult specialist and investigator. I don't actually wave any dazzle, but I know more about it than many an actual spellslinger. I know how to twist it, turn it off or turn it back on."My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

Ithuriel takes a moment to run Michalson's speech through the translator. Waving dazzle? Twisting it? That's- he's talking about magic, right? You can do that with magic?
"And, um, I'm an angel. Wings, glowy lights, etc. I can hit really hard and I can survive being hit really hard. Ah, but I don't need to hit things really hard because I'm pretty good at calming people down. Also the rhino thing, people rarely see it coming."Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

Nick nods, flipping through the papers.
"That's planeswalker, lower-case, yes? " he asks Michalson, though from the man's explanation he already answered that question.
"And as for you, Miss, will we be having to worry about your, ahem, 'rhino thing' being contagious? We're still dealing with several squads of officers sprouting tails once a month thanks to last year's blood moon incident." Though realistically, the blood moon's acceleration of therianthropy left many of its victims that night, if they survived, with the curse ingrained into them as if they were born with it, making it incurable but more controlled afterwards. Others were cursed the normal way, or simply died.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

"Um, so long as people aren't trying to impale themselves on my horn when I'm being rhino-y, we should be fine. I haven't- I mean, I'm not really in the habit of doing that to people, so I don't even know if it still happens since I became an angel." All things considered, she hasn't been angel for all that long. And trying to test out whether you can still make people into were-rhinos has a high risk of spontaneous rhino-shaped holes in buildings.

Re: Inside 66: Order up!
Victory's Secret
The store Kray and Eswill end up are is an ominous affair of opaque black windows with a neon pink sign giving it the name Victory's Secret. A similar glass door bars their entrance, but when opened it appears like any other boutique for delicate women's clothing. An utterly overwhelming amount of scandalous attire lines the walls and racks, but even if it is unusual for such a pair to enter the shop, the two store clerks pay them no mind as they go about refilling empty spaces and organizing it all by color and size and material. Everything and anything the two could want from sheer nightgowns to silken robes to leather and metal armor fitted with women in mind are all in sight. Surprisingly enough, the armor is practical rather than fantastical.
The one clerk behind the counter however, likely the storeowner given her sheer presence, stands nearly seven feet in height with broad shoulders and a truly massive pair of auroch horns jutting out from the sides of her skull. She wears a practical brown suit, complete with navy tie, and has curly auburn hair down to her shoulder that covers part of her face. When the customers enter, she looks up from her accounts and grins broadly while straightening up and brushing her hair back over her horns to reveal a creme and red blotchy face, likely a birthmark. "Well thar, how ya'll doin' today, mah lil daisies?" She asks happily, stepping around the counter. "Welcome to Victory's Secret. M'name's Tallia. How can I help ya?" She asks before pausing for just a moment. She gives the two of them another glance and then just grins again.

"Right." says the griffin to both responses, jotting something down into a little note-pad with a pencil.
"So both of you are currently doing just freelance work? Nothing right at this moment?" he asks them.
[Victory's Secret]
Kray has never actually been inside a women's clothing store, for obvious reasons. Currently, she has been led to this one by Eswil, the white gobbun on her shoulders. Kray herself is wearing the guise "bestowed" upon her by a certain fae, and as such is a slim, seven-foot cream-colored minotauress with an athletic but curvaceous figure, long ears and tail, and horns that curve down and under her head. She's wearing a damaged pair of pants tied on with a rope and a hoodie that actually fits her perfectly thanks to an enchantment. That's about it, though. She misses her hat.
"Are you sure this is the right place?" she whispers to Eswil. Eswil doesn't plan on her actually wearing these frilly things, does she?
Kray also returns the shopkeep's look. There's something about this that is nagging at her. Not the woman herself, but something about her, maybe?Last edited by Deathkeeper; 2018-05-03 at 11:08 PM.

Re: Inside 66: Order up!
"Hey, you're the one who wanted underwear. I haven't bought anything here, but I saw it on the way to the mall and poked my head in. It's the only place I can think of that'd cater to someone your size and shape." Eswill says with a furtive shrug. She makes no effort on getting down from Krayger's back even as she drops the spell she's been holding since they left MERC, allowing others not privy to their conversation know what she's saying and doing instead of what she wants them to see and hear. Until Krayger opened the door the illusion had them covered completely in that department.
"Anyway, this is good quality stuff! It probably won't even break if your fey girlfriend catches up and throws some additional nastiness your way." Durability and utility are key to any gobbun's evaluation of clothing and other items, though clothing also gets rated by Flashness, and this stuff is Very Flash.
And some part of Eswill, a part she'll never tell Kray about, wants to force the unfortunate minotauress into frilly nonsense as a slight bit of payback for when she was still a he and apparently knew about what effects the runes were having on his mind, but only hinted at them instead of telling Eswill and letting her think that a brand new friend was being nice and bashful and adorable and sweet on his own. She's not so dumb as to accuse Kray of playing with her emotions, but she's not so noble as to not stoop to minor, petty revenge either.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

The cashier sighs - another Nexus newbie. They always seemed to find her. "You don't look very native to this environment either, sir. This world pulls others in from all kinds of different places. I don't think anyone in this city is a native."
Keiko sighs, and opens her eyes. "Very well. Are you here to harm me, or my companion?" She's acting rather grave for what is surely a small bird.
"Do you ever shut up?" Cassidy is quick to start moving - she doesn't have a lot of time, or bullets. She doesn't need to buy much time navigating the shelves. If she can just keep out of KABAL's stubby little arms for a bit longer, her adept magic will return to her and she'll surely be able to get away after that.
