16:25:51	Rincel slowly rides around the city, in search of Andrew
16:26:48	Rumia: Rincel suddenly feels as if she's being watched from above.
16:27:20	Rincel slows down, and then looks around, tensing, and keeping her hood over her head
16:29:55	Rumia: Noel's frowning visage appears a bit ahead of Rincel, her pistols still on her hips. "You have somehow gotten into our bounded field, and I do not recognize you. Explain."
16:30:29	Rincel pauses, and then narrows her eyes.
16:30:47	Rincel: "I am Rincel Blackford. And I am looking for the leader of this troop..."
16:30:58	Rincel: "I've already sparred with Anceril, and I have met Luvia."
16:31:06	Rincel then holds out the special stone that Luvia gave her.
16:32:18	Rumia: Noel's rigid posture relaxes slightly. "I see... Sister and our leader were..." She twitches, trying not to think too much on it. "... busy earlier. They should be... around, soon enough."
16:32:52	Rincel: "Mm. I see."
16:33:09	Rincel slowly gets off of her horse.
16:33:22	Rincel: "Then I suppose I'll just have to sit and wait someplace for the meantime."
16:37:20	Rumia: Noel shrugs, before looking to the building behind her, her leader's aura slipping out there. "Perhaps..."
16:39:31	Rincel: "Perhaps...?"
16:41:03	Rumia: Noel points toward the building behind her. "You can find our leader in there. Sister may not be far off..."
16:41:26	AndrewofDoom: The aura disappears. A minute later, a hand comes out Rincel's shadow pulling her in to the shadow world. A world which looks the same as the real one all color and brightness is inverted. In front of her is Andrew, who is not inverted. He didn't bother putting on all of the armor accessories and his hair is a much bigger mess than it normally is. His face is
16:42:01	AndrewofDoom: flushed red. "What are you here for? This better be important, because I was in the middle of my...uhh... happy fun time! Yeah, let's go with that."
16:43:33	Rincel: "..."
16:43:45	Rincel coughs into her hand.
16:44:05	Rincel: "I am Rincel Blackford. Are you the leader of the group here?"
16:44:57	Rincel: "Oh..."
16:45:13	Rincel holds out the rock that Luvia gave her.
16:45:38	AndrewofDoom folds his hands. "Andrew Bradwater. Yes, I am the leader of the group." He looks at the rock. "No idea what that is."
16:46:15	Rincel: "Luvia told me that if I showed you this, you would let me join your... err... alliance..."
16:46:21	Rincel 's face grows dark
16:46:36	Rincel: "You are looking for a man named Hunter, yes?"
16:49:28	AndrewofDoom: "Yes, we are."
16:50:23	Rumia: "You know..."
16:50:37	Rincel looks around.
16:51:32	Rumia: An femenine outline of pure black appears behind Rincel, before drapping herself over the woman's back, the infernal aura it's giving off nearly crushing in its pressure.
16:52:34	Rincel shivers, and then snaps her fingers, creating an outline of fire around her body. She then lunged forwards and fell onto her knees before standing up again.
16:52:41	Rumia: "I was in the middle, of something really, really, really good. And then that witch interrupts by sending you here. Can you give me a reason why I shouldn't pop your head off right now, sweet-"
16:53:06	Rumia 's form is engulfed in flames, only for them to sizzle out and die upon touching her.
16:53:45	Rumia: "Feisty..."
16:54:16	AndrewofDoom: "Stop, Rumia."
16:54:41	Rincel growls
16:54:45	Rumia looks to be pouting.
16:54:50	Rincel: "Stop."
16:54:56	Rumia: "You never let me have fun..."
16:55:26	AndrewofDoom: "Just a few minutes ago I wa- No we won't go there."
16:55:33	Rincel snarls.
16:55:36	Rumia dispells the aura of dread, the blackness bleeding from her form.
16:55:39	Rincel: "As you were saying, Mr. Blackwater."
16:55:58	Rincel: "Err. Excuse me. *Bradwater*."
16:56:30	AndrewofDoom: "I still don't trust you, though Last person I let in betrayed me. What makes you any different from him, witch?"
16:56:59	Rincel: "...."
16:57:02	Rincel turns.
16:57:03	Rumia: "She doesn't smell like rotting flesh, that's a change at least."
16:57:12	Rincel: "I Suppose I'll be leaving then. I have no time for this."
16:57:26	Rincel: "Every second I spend here Hunter could be getting further and further away from me."
16:57:46	Rumia: "Ooooooh, feisty. Can we keep her Andy?~ Please?~"
16:58:04	AndrewofDoom: "And where do you think you'll go? Take a look around you. This isn't the real world."
16:58:51	Rincel stops.
16:58:54	Rincel: "..."
16:59:09	Rincel: "What exactly do you plan on doing to me then? If I am not allowed to leave?"
16:59:20	Rumia: "Oh... you know... this and that~"
16:59:30	AndrewofDoom pinches Rumia.
16:59:45	Rumia eeps.
17:00:05	Rumia: "A-at least pinch somewhere where it won't hurt!"
17:01:10	AndrewofDoom: "...Hm. Fine." He shoves Rincel into the real world. "You can tag along. Nyx needs a teammate anyway."
17:01:44	Rumia: Noel gives Rincel a small bow as she reappears in the real world.
17:02:46	Rincel stays still, and then nods.
17:02:55	Rincel: "...I see. So..."
17:03:07	Rincel: "When is the last time you had contact with Hunter...?"
17:03:20	AndrewofDoom goes to get the rest of his armor on, still in the shadow world.
17:03:24	Rumia: Noel frowns. "That was... not too long ago."
17:04:13	Rincel tenses.
17:04:16	Rincel: "REALLY?"
17:04:22	Rincel then calms herself down
17:04:24	Rincel: "...I see."
17:04:39	Rincel: "Tell me everything. What was his condition? What was he here fore? What did he want?"
17:07:03	Rumia: Noel raises an eyebrow. "He attacked our base on the other continent. He is still at the same amount of power as the last time we took him on, supposedly. He recovered an artifact from Luvia's castle that belonged to a former witch in our group..."
17:08:43	Rincel: "On the other continent..."
17:08:48	Rincel frowns.
17:08:56	Rincel: "Any sightings on the current continent?"
17:09:36	Rumia: Noel shakes her head. "We have tracked him to this area, as one of his labs are here... his main one, supposedly."
17:10:04	Rincel 's eyes get wider.
17:10:09	Rincel: "Perfect."
17:11:19	Rincel: "Then..."
17:11:26	Rincel: "What are our next plans...?"
17:12:39	Rumia: Noel's frown deepens. "That is up to our leader to decide. Currently we are training to work better in pairs."
17:15:11	Rincel: "...."
17:15:16	Rincel 's excitement lowers.
17:15:22	Rincel: "...mm. I understand."
17:21:25	Rumia: Noel nods. "Very well, I will guide you to the cathedral. We use that as our HQ here... for now." She then walks off, expecting her to follow.
17:21:44	Rincel grabs the reins of her horse, and then follows her.
17:24:36	Rumia: Noel stops in front of the cathedral's doors, before turning to her. "Go ahead. Leave the horse out here though..."
17:25:40	Rincel nods, and moves to tie the horse up to a post, before returning to Noel.
17:26:52	Luckyuro is in the catherdral kitchen, attempting to make cookies, but is it very hard to do so with such a small size
17:27:28	Rumia: Noel pushes the doors open, only to barely be blasted by a wave of bubbling water, the snaking liqiud stopping just before it would have hit her, or Rincel.
17:28:17	Rincel pauses.
17:28:21	Rumia: Sakurano sighs in relief, as does Faust next to her, their hands linked, before seperating. The boiling liqiud disappearing.
17:28:24	Rincel: *Seemingly unfased.
17:28:39	Rincel: "..."
17:29:34	Rincel: "What was that?"
17:30:10	Rumia: Noel blinks, before nodding. "You may introduce yourself to the others as you wish. I need to make sure Sister and her contractee... come out sometime this week." She disappears into the darkness at that.
17:31:27	Rincel: "..."
17:31:45	Rincel looks around for the others, slowly walking around the hallways.
17:32:33	Luckyuro sets a timer and exits the kitchen, looking up at Rincel as she walks past "Hi!"
17:32:55	Rincel pauses, and waves.
17:32:56	Rumia: Sakurano and Faust are following after Rincel.
17:32:58	Rincel: "Hello."
17:33:21	Luckyuro: "Are you new here?"
17:34:24	Rincel nods.
17:34:29	Rincel: "My name is Rincel Blackford."
17:34:32	Rincel: "And you...?"
17:35:04	Luckyuro: "Nice to meet you Rincel! My name's Luckyuro!" the small catgirl... demon... thing... smiles and hops
17:35:23	Luckyuro: i forgot to mention chibi in that mix
17:36:39	Rincel: "Hello, Luckyuro!"
17:36:47	Rincel gives her a slight smile.
17:37:08	Luckyuro: "Have you seen my lazy brother anywhere? i haven't seen him since i went running with the others"
17:40:58	Rincel cringes at the mention of a brother.
17:41:00	Rincel: "...."
17:41:04	Rincel: "Who is your... brother?"
17:41:36	Luckyuro discribes the small bat boy the horse knocked out earlier
17:46:35	Rincel blushes.
17:46:39	Rincel: "Umm..."
17:48:05	Rincel turns.
17:48:11	Rincel: "Oh... I know where he is... umm..."
17:48:18	Rincel: "One moment... and I'll be back? With him..."
17:48:30	Rumia: Sakurano and Faust block her path.
17:49:06	Rumia: The armored knight's face is neutral, but the fire user seems almost happy to see her.
17:49:28	Luckyuro nods "I'll probably have fresh cookies when you get back"
17:51:48	Rincel: "...."
17:51:52	Rincel: "Excuse me."
17:51:55	Rincel tries to walk past them.
17:52:37	Rumia: Sakurano moves in her path again. "Hey hey, hold on, can we talk a bit?"
17:55:22	Rincel: "..."
17:55:27	Rincel: "Who are you?"
17:56:47	Rumia: Sakurano grins. "I'm Sakurano. A witch, like you. Although, you don't feel like you're part of a coven..."
17:58:53	Rincel: "Coven?"
17:58:54	Rincel: "No."
17:59:01	Rincel: "I am not, nor was I ever."
18:00:24	Rumia: Sakurano grins at Faust, who just gives her a dull look in return before walking off. Sakurano pouts at that, then perks back up. "Sorry about her, Faust is being a bit mopy right now. Anyway... um... maybe we can talk while we walk?"
18:00:39	Rincel: "..."
18:00:44	Rincel: "Hm. So be it."
18:00:51	Rincel begins to walk in the direction of Bhel
18:03:00	Rumia: Sakurano float to her side, seemingly in thought. "So what branch of magic do you specilize in? Combat? If so, Elemental maybe?"
18:05:29	Rincel: "Hmph. Combat, elemental... darkness."
18:06:29	Rumia: Sakurano pouts at the element. "Really? You haven't branched out to maybe... fire?"
18:07:28	Rincel shakes her head slowly.
18:09:44	Rincel: "Dakness... has so far given me all that I need."
18:10:30	Rumia: She huffs, before smiling. "Well then, since you'll be working with us... I guess I can help you with fire itself, which usually leads to light anyway."
18:11:10	Luckyuro: Bhel has gotten up and wobbled away since the incident
18:11:22	Luckyuro: so he ish gone .3.
18:11:49	Rincel: "Light."
18:11:55	Rincel stops, and looks around for Bhel.
18:11:57	Rincel: "..."
18:12:02	Rincel: "Wherever that little man went.."
18:12:11	Rincel then turns back to Sakurano.
18:12:15	Rincel: "I have no use for light."
18:12:43	Rumia: Sakurano shrugs. "Well, since Hunter himself uses Darkness..."
18:14:52	Rincel cringes...
18:15:10	Rincel: "... and so would it not be fitting for him to meet his end with the very same magics that he used to destroy others?"
18:15:54	Rumia: Sakurano shrugs. "Maybe... but that's assuming he doesn't just overpower your magic with his own."
18:17:31	Rincel: "Yes, but that is assuming..."
18:20:06	Rincel: "I will be fine with my brand of magic..."
18:21:45	Rumia: Sakurano shrugs, before giggling. "Alright, but if you ever change your mind... I'll be around." Her form tilts over as she goes onto all fours, before taking off with a blaze of heat in her flaming tiger form to track down Faust.
18:22:05	Rincel frowns, and then nods. She heads back inside to look for Luckyuro
18:23:05	Luckyuro is having balance problems as she tries to pull the cookie sheet out of the oven
18:23:40	Rincel walks into the kitchen, and then paitently waits for Luckyuro to be finished...
18:24:33	Luckyuro looks "Oh! welcome back!... can you please come help me please?!" she almost falls trying to keep the cookie sheet from tipping over
18:25:28	Rincel sighs, and then uses a pulse of magic to throw the cookie sheet ontop of the stove
18:26:23	Luckyuro sighs in relief "Thank you... did you find him? he's suppose to be in bed but does he listen? noooo"
18:26:56	Luckyuro 's 'nooooo' is more of a nya
18:27:39	Rincel: "hmm.."
18:27:44	Rincel: "Well, i went to look for him..."
18:27:46	Rincel: "and he was gone."
18:27:54	Rincel: "So no. I have no found him yet."
18:28:47	Luckyuro: Bhel walks in "Do i sme-YOU!" he points at Rincel then falls over
18:29:20	Luckyuro walks over to bhel and grabs him by the ear, pulling him to bed while bhel yelps from the ear pulling
18:30:03	Rincel: "..."
18:30:09	Rincel: "Oh. I found Bhel."
18:30:56	Luckyuro comes back "there... he won't be getting out that bed for a long while"
18:31:48	Luckyuro: "Anywho, Welcome to the group Rincel! Nya~!"
18:31:57	Rincel nods.
18:31:59	Rincel: "Thank you..."



18:38:32	Rumia: Meanwhile, with Zetta and Talia
18:41:56	Zetta had stopped her fist with his hand.
18:47:06	Rumia: Talia grunts as he absorbs the electricity given off by her Maximum Discharge.
18:47:36	Zetta: "Maybe it's better we just trade physical attacks."
18:48:49	Rumia: Talia nods, before lashing out near isntantly with a punishing side kick.
18:49:31	Zetta vanishes, reappearing above Talia with an axe kick downwards at her head.
18:51:36	Rumia: Talia raises her arms to take the impact, her gaunlets sparking as they take on the full force of the kick, transforming the kinetic energy into more electricity for her to use.
18:52:35	Zetta kicks off her block, landing and charging forward with an electrified punch.
18:54:05	Rumia: Talia analyzes the incoming punch, before her hand sways out to force it aside with the palm of her hand at the last minute.
18:58:22	Zetta 's arm is forced away, but he uses that to launch his other arm at her with a stronger punch
18:58:58	Rumia: Talia repeats her previous action with his next punch, then lashes out with her a knife hand at the junction right where his armpit is, aiming to hit the pressure point there.
19:02:43	Zetta uses instant movement to get himself away, reappearing several meters behind Talia.
19:03:57	Rumia: Talia turns, striking her gaunlets together as she's enveloped in what looks to be an expanding sphere of lightning. "Thunder Cannon!"
19:04:40	Rumia: Instead of travelling forward, the sphere contracts, before launching Talia forward with extreme force, aimed at Zetta with a fist out.
19:07:05	Zetta cracks his knuckles, activating his lightning form, the aura flare causing the trees around to be blown back a bit.
19:07:23	Zetta stomps on the ground and punches forward to intercept.
19:08:19	Rumia: The two's fist clash, sending out a sonic boom as the opposing forces meet. Talia blinks back her surprise, as the wind whooshes loudly around them.
19:09:53	Zetta: "Been a while since I've had this kind of clash."
19:10:02	Zetta grins.
19:10:17	Rumia: Talia blinks again, stars in her eyes. "Then we have to take it a step further!"
19:12:12	Zetta: "Don't hold back then."
19:12:25	Zetta backs up, getting into a stance.
19:13:30	Rumia: Talia grins, the electricity running through her now internal instead of external, causing her eyes to light up as she charges at Zetta, ignoring her instant movement as she closes in.
19:17:23	Zetta 's lightning form flares out a burst of electricity, he vanishes and reappears in front of Talia, a flying kick with his foot already in front of her head.
19:19:08	Rumia: Talia seems to move perfectly under the kick in a roll, lashing out with a fierce kick to his back as he goes by.
19:22:03	Zetta kicks off the air, using instant movement to evade the attack and appearing above Talia with a downward punch.
19:24:16	Rumia: Talia uses her hands that were holding her up to move her torse to the side to dodge the punch, a burst of electricity from her gaunlet launches her away from the area his fist would impact.
19:24:51	Zetta crashes into the ground, releasing a burst of energy that creates an explosion that craters the ground
19:25:27	Rumia: Talia seems to be watching him, instead of acting at the moment.
19:26:28	Zetta gets up and glances at Talia.
19:26:59	Zetta generates a spear of lightning in his hand, the energy in it crackling as if waiting to be released.
19:27:21	Rumia: Talia continues to watch, though her body is tense.
19:28:12	Zetta throws the spear, it traveling like lightning towards Talia.
19:31:05	Rumia: Talia moves just enough to allow the spear to bypass her with small simple movements. The electricity going through her boosting her senses and slowing things down for her to an extent.
19:32:01	Zetta 's spear travels, piercing through and incinerating the trees that it goes through, eventually creating a huge explosion at the end of its path.
19:33:01	Rumia: Talia instant movements to close in on Zetta, her fists raised as if she's about to extend them both forward.
19:33:32	Zetta palmstrikes at her chest just as she appears.
19:36:58	Rumia: Talia, leans with the blow, reducing the effect it has on her to just push her away a few inches, as she lashes out with a quick high punch toward his right shoulder, followed by a low one at his stomach, her arms blurring with the speed she's moving at.
19:37:22	Zetta dodges all the attacks.
19:38:48	Zetta: "You'll have to try a bit harder than that."
19:39:19	Rumia: Talia nods, having anticipated this, before lightning envelops her arms and legs, forcing them to move beyond their previous max speed, her arms blurring as punches, palm strikes, and knife hands aimed at disabling him flow forth like a stream.
19:41:41	Zetta launches a lightning fast punch at Talia's head just as she begins, his body "turning into lightning" to absorb the attacks.
19:43:10	Rumia: Talia barely moves her head out of the way, his punch skinning her and the draining of her electricity has pulled her back from her enhanced state.
19:45:59	Zetta: "How about we call it for now?"
19:47:14	Rumia: Talia nods, pouting. "Alright... I was sure I had you with my version of the lightning form... But since we can both absorb electricity..."
19:47:34	Zetta: "It'll go nowhere really fast."
19:48:26	Rumia: Talia shrugs, before her face splits into a grin. "So what do you think, was I really fast?"
19:48:38	Zetta nods.
19:48:55	Zetta: "Since our opponent is Hunter, what you should work on is power, your speed should be beyond what he can keep up."
19:49:06	Zetta: "By power, I mean power enough to smash his barriers."
19:49:26	Rumia: Talia whoops in joy at that. "Alright! Power... Power... um... Okay, I've got ideas."
19:49:47	Rumia: Talia rushes into the forest at that, her grin still splitting her face.
19:49:54	Zetta: "Though I'll have to give Hunter this one, his barriers are reall-"
19:50:01	Zetta follows after her.
19:50:02	Zetta: "Oh boy."

20:04:02	AndrewofDoom emerges back from the shadow world, now looking as per usual now and heads into the cathedral.
20:04:08	AndrewofDoom: "Nyx. where are you?"
20:05:27	Rumia: Nyx form fades into view on his right. "Sir. You called?"
20:05:42	Rumia: Nyx freezes as she gets close to him.
20:14:41	Rumia: Nyx looks away from him, but nods. "Is there... something you needed?"
20:15:20	AndrewofDoom: "Yes. I need you to meet up with Rincel."
20:15:28	AndrewofDoom: "The new witch. Hard to miss."
20:15:37	AndrewofDoom: "She will be your teammate for this training
20:16:01	Rumia: Nyx blinks, then nods. "Understood, sir."
20:20:56	Rincel is walking amoungst the hallways of the keep, being bored.
20:22:28	Rumia: Nyx quickly tracks down Rincel, as she's the only unfamiliar aura around the cathedral.
20:22:40	Rincel feels a presence, and then stops
20:23:31	Rumia: Nyx' half-demon aura (though weaker then most) can be felt as she comes down the corridor.
20:24:30	Rincel snaps her head towards Nyx's form, and then slowly tenses.
20:26:33	Rumia: Nyx gives Rincel a small salute. "I'm guessing you are Rincel?"
20:27:35	Rincel: "Yes. Rincel Blackford."
20:27:37	Rincel: "You?"
20:28:51	Rumia: The armored woman gives her a once over. "Lilum Nyx, of Black Company."
20:29:31	Rincel: "Hm."
20:34:39	Rumia: Nyx stands at Parade rest. "While we are working together... I hope to learn more about your way of fighting, so it does not clash with my own."
20:37:12	AndrewofDoom: "Hmmm, so that's where you two are hiding." Andrew walks over to the two.
20:37:45	Rincel turns to Andrew, after bowing to Nyx.
20:39:57	AndrewofDoom pats Illebra's shoulder. "That girl is the new one, Rincel Waterford or something."
20:40:16	AndrewofDoom: "She's a witch. And female Illebra." He laughs.
20:40:24	Rincel: "....."
20:40:28	Rincel: "Blackford."
20:40:32	Rincel: "My last name is Blac-"
20:40:33	Rincel pauses.
20:40:38	Rincel: "...I see what you did there."
20:40:54	AndrewofDoom: "I don't."
20:41:22	Rumia: Illebra grumbles, turning away from him.
20:41:46	AndrewofDoom: "And where do you think you're going, Illebra? You still have to train some more."
20:44:00	Rumia: Illebra blinks, before smiling. "Oh, a combined training?"
20:47:28	AndrewofDoom elbows. "Hands off. She's probably not interested."
20:47:45	AndrewofDoom: "But yes, combined training will work."
20:47:51	Rincel: "Hm."
20:47:57	Rincel: "Sounds beneficial."
20:49:47	Rumia: Nyx nods as well.
