FrostXero: Hmmm so this is what geese wanted me to hear? Some strange tower with a weapon that can "supposedly" save the planet........
FrostXero: I think that old man has lost it!
*Frost walks away form the area where the prophet was spreading his word on to a near side street*
FrostXero: Ha, Zhang jue had a better concept of for an upriot than this....but also people were eaiser to trick....
*Frost walks down the street and ponders of what to do, and the current state that Geasei is in.*
FrostXero: Ah I got it! If it's something abut a place in Geasei im sure Ryuusei knows of it! I guess since he is the ruler and such....Now where in the hell is the capital of this place?
*FrostXero roams the streets for a guard to ask about the capital, also not paying attention leaving his marasumesoul in near visible sight.*

Jaitena stares at the boy with an odd expression on her face. Have her skills become so rusty during her forced period of abstinence? Apparently so. Her expression becomes one of disgust when he tosses the coins onto the bar. She grabs them and follows Link to the table. She slaps them down on the table in front of him and snarls at him, a playful glint in her eyes.
JAITENA: Aren't you the clever one? And generous, too. Well, I don't need charity. But thanks for pointing out my mistakes. I'll be sure to be more careful next time.
She begins to walk away, then stops. She turns again and stares at Red.
JAITENA: Are you Red DeLuce?
She stares another moment before noticing his shockingly blue eyes.
JAITENA: My God, you are Red DeLuce. I hear you're looking for the leader of Kyou Senshi.
She sits down next to Red casually and orders him an ale, pulling her own hefty purse from beneath her shirt.
JAITENA: I know where you can find him. If, of course, you're interested.

((OOC: Heh heh... Sorry, the Kyou Senshi was a person. Kyou Senshi = Disaster Warrior. The Kyou Senshi was the darkness contained within Ryuusei Amidamaru, and at one point was released by a curse. Because of this Ryuusei Amidamaru was able to do battle with the Kyou Senshi and in the end killed his darker half.))
Red looks at the girl.
RED: "....Kyou...? Oh... He's been dead for awhile now. Yeh... 'Good ol' Ryuusei' killed him sometime last year... I coulda' beat 'im."
Red stares up at the ceiling, leaning back in his chair.
RED: "Hm.... I don't know whether to hate Ryuusei or not... I mean... we've been friends for a while, but this whole... 'take over Gaeasei' thing is a bit...extreme.... Ah well.... whatever."
He sips the ale.
RED: "Y'know... come to think of it though... he acted alot different after that fight. His sense of justice seemed to be almost obsessive. Yeh... that's a good way a'puttin' it. He was obsessed with justice, to the point that it clouded his judgement."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frost approaches the guard, and once he is within earshot of the guard, the guard draws his sword and demands that Frost relinquish his weapon.
GUARD: "C'mon kid... hand it over. You oughta' know th' law by now.... If Lord Ryuusei were here he might not be so nice, so do us both a favor an' hand 'er over nice 'n easy, ok?"

Jaitena cocks her head to the side and appears to be thinking very hard about something. In truth, she is thinking about how VERY out of practice she's been. Her second attempt to swindle this party failed, she stands and clears her throat, trying to hide her embarrassment.
JAITENA: My mistake. Enjoy that drink, Red.
She begins to walk away, then stops again and speaks over her shoulder.
JAITENA: By the way, are you going to be looking for that sword?

It wasn't so much as Jaitena's skills that prevented her from stealing from Link; rather than his talents and origin, just didn't allow him to be stolen from. So, the youth just leans back in his chair, yawning.
LINK: "But anyways, about all that crap the prophet was spewing."
As Red starts talking about his theory of Amidamaru's obsession of justice; he reaches over and takes his ale. After taking a swig, he goes on....
LINK: "This is what he said...."
|| OOC: Come now Veggie, have you forgotten all about your Prophet? Go ahead and finish off Link's sentence, or maybe have a flashback of his little speech. Apparantly, you forget why Link was there in the first place. Th' entire time Link was there.... the Prophet said nothin'. ||

FrostXero: Hmm Sorry no can do my man, but can you tell me where Ryuusei is I need to ask him something.
*Frost has his hands behind his head but on guard so if the guard decides to act*

The guard scoffs at Frost.
GUARD: "No chance. Unless you relinquish that weapon, you are a criminal, and you will be treated as such!"
The guard signals over the others, for a total of 7 Ryuusei Shogunate guards surrounding Frost. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Link speaks the Prophet's words regarding the supposedly 'legendary' Tolgrim.
PROPHET: 'Tolgrim, the most sacred of blades, the one capable of defeating Mephisto.... it resides in Genzon-Tô, the living tower! However, since this blade is so sacred, it will be highly guarded! Only the best of the best should quest for it! To who so ever should seek the blade, seek it fast, for the devil Mephisto seeks to prevent his downfall. Take us this black-bladed sword and ready yourself to battle Mephisto!'
Red interrupts.
RED: "Hang on... did you say black-bladed sword? I thought only Mash had a black-bladed sword."
An old man passes by Red and had caught his words.
OLDMAN: "Yes. The blue-haired devil has but one of the black-blades. He has the sister blade, Halgrim. His black-blade is much larger than Tolgrim."
The old man walks outside.
RED: "Hm... Link, you go after that Tolgrim. I'm gonna go after that old man and find out what else he knows. Everyone else, decide who you're goin' with."
Red pays his bill and begins to walk out.
RED: "I'm gettin' my weapons. I suggest th' rest of you do so as well."

Frostxero: Well if your gonna be an ass about it, I could just do this.
*Frost remembers the tavern he was at before going to see the prophet. and in a insant he is gone from the guards and appears at the tavern door crashing into Red who was on his way out, and landing on his ass.*
FrostXero:Ow sorry bro.......Hey its You guys, Whats up?

LINK: "I was planning to do so, nothin' like a little adventure...."
He finishes off the rest of the ale, and stands up. He just stares blankly, as some idiot pops out of no where. Goku, who was obviously going to follow Red, just does the same and bursts out laughing.
LINK: '.... what a moron.'
GOKU: "Ah hah hah hah!!"
Without another word, Link just makes his way around, and waits outside for Red; so he can retrieve his weapons before venturing into the Genzon-Tô. Goku just stands there waiting for Red, still pointing and laughing.

Red returns quickly with his sword and mirror shield. Almost instantly, a Shogunate guard appears.
GUARD: "Dammit all! You kids an' your rebellious ways! You KNOW you guys can't have weapons! Hand 'em over!"
Red ignores the guard and steps in front of Link.
RED: "Yo, Link. You take that Xero guy with you and get th' Tolgrim. Me an' Goku'll see if that old man knows anything else. Hey, Frost... if that sword of yours tells you when bad things are around, make sure ya' pay attention to it."
Red signals Goku over, as he's ready to meet the old man.
RED: "You two can go with either of us. The invitation is open on both sides."
He nods at Miorix and Jai.
Red begins to walk away.
GUARD: "..........?"

Jai's eyes widen as Red extends his invitation. No way had she actually given the impression that she had wanted to join them. She was planning on going after the Tolgrim, to be sure, but only for the mighty profit it could inspire. She looks sideways at Link, waiting outside the door, then makes a vast effort to swallow her pride. It would be silly to not join him, given their shared destination. She nods slightly at Red and Miorix, then turns sharply on her heel to follow Link outside. She looks him up and down suspiciously as she approaches.
JAITENA: I'm sure you wouldn't mind some company on your trip, now, would you? I mean, I figure since we're going to the same place and all...and a person can always use a thief.
She checks to make sure Yunde and Usoku are well-fixed in their leather sheaths, then turns back to Link and Xero, giving a small salute of greeting.
JAITENA: I'm Jaitena Fimorea.

Link returns with Red, holding his own equiptment as well. He glances at the gaurd, then nods in acknowlegment at Red. He motions Xero over to him, then glances over at Jaitena; and nods.
LINK: "I don't require a thief to steal anything, I can do that for myself. But come if you wish, know the Genzon-Tô is extremely dangerous."
Link motions Xero to follow, before glancing over at Jai.
LINK: "Link."
He looks over at Red and Goku, waving over his shoulder. Goku turns around, waving his arm obnoxiously.
GOKU: "SEE YA!!!"
Then, after a few moments, the youkai turns around and runs back over to Red.

*Frost gets up and dust himself off.*
FrostXero:Yea, next time I'll pay attention to were I teleport.
.*He then walks over to Link and Jai giving a nod.*
FrostXero:Hey, I'm FrostXero

Jaitena smiles briefly at FrostXero and nods back, then turns her attention back to Link for a moment. His overwhelming non-chalance beginning to get on her nerves, she mentally prepares herself for the moment that she will break off from this mismatched party and strike her own path. Looking at FrostXero, she decides that he is most likely the conversationalist of the pair. She hitches her purse onto her belt.
JAITENA: "So, Xero...can I call you that?...What's your specialty in this mad, mad world?

Red and Goku meet with the old man in an alley way.
RED: "Old man! Hang on a minnit!"
Red and Goku run closer to the old man.
RED: "You seem to know alot about th' Tolgrim. WHat does th' Tolgrim have to do with Mash?"
OLDMAN: "Ah. You don't know, hm? Ok. Well, the only thing I know about Tolgrim is that it is the second sword made by the demon blacksmith. The first sword he made was Halgrim, the sword that the blue-haired devil brandishes. The Halgrim is the prime mold, thus making it superior to the Tolgrim, with one exception. The blade-work of Halgrim is excellent and flawless, but it cannot be weilded by humans. The Tolgrim's blade-work is near-flawless, but it can be weilded by human and demon alike. That, and the Tolgrim has a sinister magick enchanting it, increasing the darkness of whoever wields it."
RED: "What do you mean?"
OLDMAN: "Tolgrim is also known as the Sword Of Possession. It increases ANY evil thoughts in the weilder. So even if a good person weilds it, they will succumb to their dark desires while brandishing that blade."
RED: "And the Halgrim?"
OLDMAN: "The Halgrim doesn't have that ability. It's other attributes made it more than worthy. The blue-haired devil is beyond fortunate to possess such a marvelous weapon."
RED: "Can the Halgrim beat the Tolgrim?"
OLDMAN: "No. As sister blades they are unable to counter one another."
RED: "We've got to stop Link from finding the Tolgrim....."
OLDMAN: "No. This is a good oppertunity to destroy Tolgrim once and for all. If I were you I wouldn't pass up that chance."
Red draws his sword, Crusher.
RED: "This sword's been with me for a long time. And because I know it so well... I can tell you it won't defeat the Tolgrim."
OLDMAN: "You're right, it won't."
The old man produces a music box from his satchel.
OLDMAN: "Take this and listen to me."
Red takes the music box.
OLDMAN: "The Legendary sword does exist. It's power is incredible. It could easily defeat Tolgrim, and Jared."
RED: "..Jared?"
OLDMAN: "Yes. That Prophet. He is Jared the Black.... he took the role of General after Magnus Re'talus was slain not too long ago."
RED: "Oh yeh, I remember that...."
OLDMAN: "Take that music box with you. Then seek out the White Tomb."
RED: "...tomb?"
OLDMAN: "Yes. It is the final resting place of many great warriors from past days. It is also the final resting place of the Legendary sword."
RED: "What IS the Legendary sword?"
OLDMAN: "The Legendary sword is called Crissaegrim."
RED: "Was it also forged by the same demon blacksmith?"
OLDMAN: "No, it was forged by his brother, Crissaegrim."
RED: "....I don't get it."
OLDMAN: "Crissaegrim and Halgrim were brothers. But upon the rebellion of Mephisto, Halgrim followed the demon-king to Oblivion and crafted two blades, Halgrim named after himself, and Tolgrim named after their father. His brother, Crissaegrim, became and Archangel and crafted Crissaegrim, named after himself."
RED: "...I see..."
OLDMAN: "Using the Crissaegrim, the Archangel divided the world into different realms to seperate the living and the dead. The White Tomb is the site where this occured."
RED: "So we have to find the White Tomb then, right?"
OLDMAN: "Yes, but the location of the White Tomb isn't easy to come by. Hm. The only thing I know is that it's somewhere near the Devil's Claw."
RED: "...Hm.. strange place for a White Tomb..."
OLDMAN: "Yes..."
RED: "Alright then, I guess we're headed to Devil's Claw. Goku, c'mon!"
Red looks around and calls out to Tepes.
RED: "HEY TEPES!"
Tepes phases in.
TEPES: "Yes my master."
RED: "Come with us. We're gonna find the Legendary sword."
TEPES: "......Sorry. I can't go with you then."
RED: ".....why not?"
TEPES: "The White Tomb is a holy place. Being nosferatu, I am one of the farthest things from 'holy'. I won't be allowed in."
RED: "...I see. Ok, then you go with Link to find Tolgrim."
TEPES: "So be it."
Tepes phases out and appears in front of Link.
TEPES: "...yo."
