Imps and The Adventurer(JennyDK and AirAllie14)

[JennyDK]

Not needing to really answer, Nalda quickly puts a rune on Alia to obscure her from normal view."You need to stay absolutely still or it will break", she tells her firmly as any movement will cause it to be disspelled. She manages to say it just in time before the steps reaches all the way and soon 4 big thugs enter the room with their weapons drawn and looking around what seems like an empty room."Where did they go?", one of them grunts.

[AirAllie14]

Alia nodded quickly at her Imp and as she placed the rune on her, she froze up and made sure to stay as still as she possible could. So far so good, those thugs hadn’t noticed her or the imps. She just had to keep still and they would leave. It was hard not being able to move but she had to keep it up. “Come on, leave already!” She thought in her mind.

[JennyDK]

The four large figures enters the room fully now, looking around. Three of them being dudes with the last one being the biggest one, a hulking beast of a woman. The three men seem to not really notice anything, but the buff Amazonian woman sniffs the air."Perfume...I smell perfume...faint, but it's there...someone was....or is in this room", she says with a firm tone of voice."Are you saying...they might be hiding?", one of them replies back."It seems so. The boss left this place in a hurry it appears as well. We cannot let any interlopers get in our way...", she adds to that.

[AirAllie14]

Alia watched the people as they entered and began to look around. She felt relieved as they didn’t seem to notice anything g but then, she immediately tensed up as the buff Amazonian woman began to pick up on her perfume. “Oh crap!” Alia cursed in her mind and hoped and prayers that the woman wouldn’t find her standing right here. She began to sweat bullets, hoping that they would just leave and forget about her.

[JennyDK]

The large oxen of a woman gives it all some thought as well as keep looking around with interest."One of you search the rest of the house, one of you keep an eye on the exits and one of you stays with me...I can feel something is up around here. No one of us saw anyone leave after all", she grumbles and finds a chair to sit down into."Hey....no time to relax!", the last one says as the two others leave in a hurry, not keen on sticking around for the time being."Relax...there is no need to rush anything. Sooner or later they will show up and then we have them".

[AirAllie14]

Alia watched as everyone except for the bulky woman left the room and began to tense up even more. She began to sweat with even more nervousness and fear and hoped and prayed more than anything that she would not be found. “come on… just leave already… I’m not here… no one is here…!” she yelled in her mind and continued to watch the woman to see what she would do.

[JennyDK]

The bulky woman rises from her seat after maybe half a minute there. She gives an odd look in the direction of Alia. Even though she is still invisible for a tiny bit of time, the summoner still very much feels like she was still spotted. The large Amazonian gal even cocks a soft smirk towards the last one there with her, nodding as a way to make him see they are to leave."I suppose...they are not here...after all", she utters once they leave the room, but very much sounding like it was not meant that way.

[AirAllie14]

Alia watched as the woman left and waited a couple of more seconds before she let out a sigh of relief and uttered, “oh thank god.,. I thought she was never going to leave… I really thought I was a goner there…” the invisible wore off and Alia looked at her imps and said, “come on, we gotta get out of here fast!”

[JennyDK]

They are all soon visible once more, the imps even lightly panting from having spent so much of their energy forcing it to last much longer like that."Ahhh...let us rather wait some. They could be waiting for us to come out and ambush us....did not you catch the weird sudden change of heart and her odd looks and voice when they left?", Haru comments, not wanting Alia to walk into what might be a pretty dangerous trap. As Haru speaks, Lynn is looking around some more in the documents and happens to find one more clue."This thing says something about...how to make copies of magical attributes from various sources...like items", she chimes in.

[AirAllie14]

Alia looked at Haru and nodded saying, “yeah, that’s probably a good idea…” She then began to wait around and raised and eyebrow at Lynn and came over to her. She began to read over the documents with her and uttered, “whoa… interesting… copies of magical attributes huh…? That is interesting…” She then sighed once again and looked at Haru. “Damn it… she had to get after these people…. This simple fetch mission just turned into a whole lot more…”

[JennyDK]

The imps give her a slightly puzzled look."Yeah, it did do that...though we did agree to do a higher profile mission after all. I think we expected it to be anything but simple....though I doubt you are the kind of person to give up", Nalda says, hoping the summoner still has the guts in her to go through with it, if she wants to be taken more seriously and earn her fame and fortune."I am sure Mistress can handle it well!", Haru chimes in energeticallu.

[AirAllie14]

Alia took a deep breath and looked at her imps with a small smile and nodded, “yes… thank you all. You’re all right. I took this mission and I have to see it out to the end. It maybe be even harder on from here but, I know that together with you three that I’ll be able to finish this mission and succeed. Alright. How longer do you think we need to wait around in here for?”

[JennyDK]

"Oh, a few minutes ought to be fine...one of us can go out and check from time to time while invisible", Lynn says and gives a thumbs up. From time to time one of the imps hover around the house and outside and about 10 minutes later the coast have been clear for a bit and Nalda comes back to being visible."Coast is clear, Mistress!", she simply says and seems more than happy and eager to go, just like the two others."All this waiting...doing nothing...how DO you humans endure it?", Haru groans once it looks like they can leave.

[AirAllie14]

Alia nodded and sighed. She then took a seat on the floor and closed her eyes, trying to pass the time. She watched as her imps occasionally checked outside from time to time and finally she sprang up as she heard Nalda and nodded, “right come on, let’s go.” She then looked at Haru and giggled, “now do you see why I wanted to be an adventurer so badly? Just sitting around all day is so boring.”

[JennyDK]

"Indeed. Quite easy to imagine...of course, being mortal only leaves you with so many years, so you better make the most of it", she replies back once they begin to walk out. Though as they walk out, the imps have forgotten to make them invisible and a few people spot them. Thankfully, the most they get is one or two curious stares. The dangers of being seen to have been unneeded."Ohhh...looks like we our presence doesn't cause a ruckus...because I forgot, haha", Lynn says and is heavily relieved by that fact."Where to next, Mistress?", Nalda asks.

[AirAllie14]

Alia sighed as they finally exited the castle and began to walk. She did her a few whispers and then uttered, “Lynn?! You forgot to turn you guys invisible?!” She then sighed and uttered, “well at least it didn’t cause too much of a ruckus.. alright, our next stop to us find wherever this Lancaster Manor is.” she told Nalda and the others.

[JennyDK]

OOC: Castle? I am guessing you forgot it was just a regular house?

The imps don't seem too concerned as they are not really the most cautious of beings to begin with anyway. To them this is just one less hassle to deal with as they have fun in this mortal realm. Lynn shrugs her shoulders a bit."Ohh...yeah...oopsie...oh well, if anyone gives you trouble, we simply...deal with them. So you shouldn't worry, Mistress!", she says, clearly not too involved with how assault or even worse might cause trouble with the law."So anyway...perhaps there is someone in town you might know that could tell us?", Haru chimes in, much more interested in their next move.

[AirAllie14]

OOC: Lol yeah sorry.

Alia blinked at Lynn’s words and uttered, “hopefully it doesn’t come to that, I don’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble…” She continued to walk with her imps and began to think saying, “I think the guild master or the another guild member might be able to help us find this place. Come on, let’s head back to town and ask around,” she told them.

[JennyDK]

The ims Lynn and Nalda look almost disappointed after hearing that, as chaos, mischief and such are highly loved and inherited traits for their kind, with Haru being a bit more restrained, but not by much."I suppose that's true...still, we have your back no matter what!", the unofficial says proudly and has a tiny smirk on her face and her hands on her hips as she speaks. The three small creatures nod at her second statement."You got it, Mistress!", Lynn chimes in eagerly, wanting to see where this leads. The group ventures back to the guild and on their way do they get weird looks from some as imps are a rare sight and some even have no idea what they are either.

They make their way to the guild hall and eventually to the office of the guildmaster. He is a man of normal stature and always clad in exotic and luxurious looking, yet still pragmatic looking clothing. He is known for being a masterly spellcaster, with many years of experience behind him, as well as knowledge that could easily fill a pair of libraries.

[AirAllie14]

Alia sighed and smiled at her imps and was happy that they wouldn’t try to cause trouble. She was already getting stared but she didn’t need more unnecessary ones or even people calling her a troublemaker or mocking her for not being able to control her summons. As they made their way through the town, Alia noticed the stares but didn’t let them get to her and tried her best to ignore them. Marching into the guildhall, she made her way to the guildmaster’s office and bowed before speaking.

“Hello Master. Sorry for the intrusion. I come today seeking information regarding a mission I am on right now. I was wondering if you know if a place called Lancaster Manor and if you knew where I can find it…”

[JennyDK]

The guild master is middle aged, but shows no signs of physical or mental weakness of any sort."Hello miss Alia...I believe it is? Please forgive me if I forgot. In my place, you see so many faces each day and many new ones too, so your name might have slipped my mind. Ah...information..well, I do have a listing of manors in this region. Hopefully that should hold an answer...", he says and gets up to search one of the bookshelves, eventually picking out a normal sized book and then sitting back down again. The imps are invisible for now, as it seems like they might cause a slight ruckus otherwise as they easily get bored. He opens the book up and search it for a bit, humming lightly to himself."Aaaah....here. It is indeed within this region, but at the top Northern part", he tells her."What sort of business do you have there anyway, miss?".

[AirAllie14]

Alia nodded at the guild master saying, “y-yes, I’m Alia,” she told him and watched as he began to look through some books to help her. She was extremely grateful for his help and was also happy that her imps had chosen to stay invisible throughout this time. Her thoughts were then interrupted and she snapped back to attention as the master spoke once again. She leaned over his desk and looked at where he was talking about and smiled, “yes! Thank you so much!” she smiled brightly and then uttered, “oh right. I’m on a mission right now to to get an item back from some bandits who stole it. I have reason to believe that they’re heading to this Lancaster Manor.”

[JennyDK]

The older man nods slowly in a gracious and respectful manner at the young summoner. Hearing her confirm the name brings back some older memories he has of her and her troubles with getting any summoning done at all."Ahhh, I see - that mission. Quite a tough one indeed as the leader is not to be trifled with and he surely has the means to get any ruffians on his side with the kind of coin he has...since you accepted this...I assume you finally got to summon something. Did you?", he asks curiously with the imps just DYING to prank the Hell out of this old guy.

[AirAllie14]

Alia nodded along to what the guild master was telling her and finally she smiled and nodded at him saying, “Yeah, I did actually! I managed to summon myself three imps,” she told him, wondering if he wanted to see them. She wondered what his reaction would be to seeing them. She figured he had seen a lot in his time so maybe not as shocked as she or other people were.

[JennyDK]

"Oh...interesting. That is quite rare and hard to do...well done, Miss Alia. So all your hard work finally paid off. That makes me proud of you", he says with a small, but warm smile and genuine look of joy in his eyes. As if on cue, the three of them poof back into visibility."Ughhh...finallyyyy", Lynn complains low key, looking like she was bored out of her mind."Yeah, yeah...exactly my thoughts too!", Nalda says in agreement, The two of them sits on various furniture in the room and Haru is on the shoulder of Alia."Hmppfhh...you two are just in dire need to stick your cocks back inside of the Mistress", the last one comments bluntly and without a hint of shame. The headmaster, oddly enough, doesn't seem surprished or shocked at all by any of this.
