@lina: I started the trade. And Amber's already said what to do from there, so I don't need to reiterate it, lol.

"Still can't believe it." one voice said. "Such a gift, squandered on the likes of HER." they spat.

"Hey man, life makes mistakes, so we correct 'em." another replied.

"So how long until news of her disappearance reaches the bitch?" one of the previous voices asked.

"Probably not long. Odds are she's already heard of it. I mean, the lawyer just disappeared in the middle of a case. THAT'LL get the rumour mill going." yet another chuckled.

"And they won't be able to track her, right?" one inquired.

"Nah. We got special jammers for crap like that. She might as well be dead, as far as tracking's concerned." was the answer given.

"......" he was silent, before sighing.

"Great." he muttered.

If Eke had expected to wake up in a hospital again, he was wrong. His wounds had been properly tended to, and his leg was in a proper cast, but he was in his own bedroom, in his own bed.

Aly was asleep in the chair beside the bed, her cheeks stained from the tears she'd shed, and he saw a note on the endtable there as well.

Figured you were tired of waking up in hospitals. Paid extra to have a team show up here and get everything done. If you need me, gimme a call.
-Your bro, Ryker. it read.

As soon as she was out, a pair of figured approached her.

"Like a charm." one said.

"Shut up and let's go." the other growled.

When Kalin finally started to stir, she heard voices speaking. But they were different than before.

"We got the right one?" one asked.

"Absolutely." another said. "Matches the description. She's the one." they told her.

"And she's close to the magician?" the first one asked.

"Heh, yep." another voice laughed.

@lina: She wears white and grey sneakers, and no, they're just black pants.

And as for your question, from what I've seen, the trade is usually started by the client, and then finalised once the finished product has been shown.

That's just been MY experience, though.

Got it. was all she received in response.

Just lemme know when you want the details discussed. the next one read.

And that was it. The exchange was ambiguous and open-ended, but that's what their communication was like when it came to matters such as thing.

"Well, shit." Rene muttered, looking at his phone.

"Means it's been a shitshow in court today." he reasoned, shaking his head slightly.

Meanwhile, as Kalin ate, she heard people walking by, talking, murmuring, the usual... but she was unaware that a certain set of eyes was on her.

Watching her. Waiting for... something.

She also was noticing that she was feeling a little more tired than usual. Was it the stress catching up to her?

@Lina: Awesome! Here's the form then!

Name: Colin
Avatar: (character) Alex->{ Ignore mecha gloves.} {More current.}
Male/female: Female. She got a chest, all right.
General attitude: She exudes a laid-back and easy-going, friendly attitude. Unless she's working on mechs/tech. Then it's serious-mode.
Offer: 10k volts.

"You got it, kid." was the reply.

Eke then felt arms underneath his armpits, as the two of them slowly ascended upwards, towards where he could see the light.

"You're gonna need medical treatment again." he was told.

"I can see that leg's not in good shape." he went on.

"Also noticed your jacket's missing."

Leo just smiled and greeted Desiree with their usual hug.

"Hey, it's all right." he replied.

"It's what I'm here for." he chuckled.

"Anyway, let's go." he said, as they made their way to where the headphones were.

At the top of the incline, Eke saw a faint figure poke their head out and look down.

And the figure had glowing red eyes.

"Ah, there you are, dragonling." he heard Ryker's demon say.

"Looks like you're in a pickle." he commented, as he started to float down on the wings he'd manifested earlier.

"And it seems like you've learned quite a bit on your little adventure." he added as he got closer.

@Lina: As Amber just asked, would you be willing to do a character of mine?

"....hm." Jaden mumbled.

"Yeah... yeah, it does sound similar to Ash." he agreed.

"And he's gone missing, huh?" he then asked.

"....sounds familiar." he said, shaking his head a little.

"I hope you got SOME answers, though." he added.

It was at that point, they felt a mana surge near the door.

"...and that'll be Leo." Jaden told her.

@Lina: Cute chibis!

Is there a form to fill out or anything, or what kind of info do you require? Because I'll totally snag one from ya!

Jaden just sighed.

"....he is." he admitted.

"Admittedly, if I ever met him, I'd expected him to be some horrible asshole that I would tear to shreds to teach him a lesson." he told her.

"I had this image of him in my head, and it's been... well... shattered." he went on.

"It's strange. A bit jarring, too." he added.

"......were you able to learn anything about YOUR father?" he then asked hesitantly, after a pause.
