Still, as you sit in the stone hard bead of the cheap room Eden rented for your group (the cheapskate), you mentally go over what everything. You already prepared several curses in key places in the city to use them as traps to distract any pursuers, sadly because of all the time you wasted yesterday due to your sudden bout of depressing and your talks with several interesting characters, you only managed to set up three traps, but that should be enough.

You also have prepared three pigeons as familiars to help you search around the city… and that’s it. You haven’t had the time to do anything else and that worries you.

The plan so far is to use the reference letter Beatrice gave you (and hope it’s not a trap) to obtain the book, and then your team will leave the city and return home so Medea can finally give you your wolf so you can make a wolf familiar.

>Think of the Wolf, Kouga! Do it for him!

Still if someone comes to fight you for the stupid book, you plan to lure them to the traps you prepared, and hope they distract the pursuers enough that you can run away without problems! See, a simple plan is the best.

So you have some time to waste before your fellow Saints wake up… so what do you do?

>Go eat breakfast, and wait for your friends!
>Go find Al, you want to say goodbye to him before everything starts, his hotel should be near yours.
>Go call those Alchemists, you promised you would do it. [But it might be too early]
>Stay in the room and see if you can try to practice using your light?
>Call Medea?
>Other?

WISE UP: CITY OF LIGHT (again)

Just a friendly reminder, in this city of light the demons and the darkness they represent shall not be tolerated, that’s why you will not be able to contact that friend of yours Child of Man. So instead, we, who represents the will of the God of Light and Order, will take over this duty momentarily and help you.

Child of Man, if you find yourself lost or with a inquiry during your remaining time in the city, please do not hesitate to ask, for I promise to answer. Remember that as a servant of my most glorious lord, my tongue is only allowed to speak the truth and only the truth, I hope you grow to understand the value of that virtue of ours.

>Signed, the Foundation.

>>34536781
No, before you do anything else, you feel you should practice using the light for a bit. You know that today you will fight someone or something as you leave this stupid city, and during a fight you feel that using the light could save you.

So you gather your cosmos, and make it shine, it shines like the light of the goddess you saw so long ago. Compared to before, you can feel the light cosmos responding more easily to you, but now comes the hard part.

“Come and become like the light, Shinning Left!” Your lights gathers in an infinitely small point in your right arm, a single point that you explode with your cosmos to equip your left arm with that pure elemental power.
As rays of light cosmos start bathing your right arm and making it glow, you feel how the darkness inside your body rejects that opposing element, and for a moment you fear that the Shinning Left would dissipate but…

>City of Light [Field Skill] is active!

… with eventually you manage to ease the flow of cosmos in your left arm, and thus the transformation of your left arm stabilized. Now it shines with a light most pure, filled with the love that the goddess showed you that day.

You stare at your left arm in wonder for a moment, basking in the warm light it is giving. This is your Shinning Left, and with it and your Evil Right you will protect the love and peace of this world.

“Still this feels too easy… like really.” Like yesterday you wouldn’t have been able to manifest your Light Arm completely and not to this extend, so why are you now able to use it? Well, maybe you leveled up or something? Did Beatrice’s example really helped you improve your light this much?

Well, that’s not important right now, you should get moving.

It’s still a bit early, so what do you do?

Dismissing the light gathering in your left arm, your jump out of bed and go outside your hotel room, it’s time for breakfast and you just know who you want to wake up first.

You quickly go to the room on your right and knock hard, BT is sleeping in the room in front of yours, so you feel safe that you won’t bother your friend with this. “Hey you pampered prince, wake up, the sun is already up and we have to go out and praise it!”

After withstanding your relentless assault for almost half a minutes, eventually the door that separates you from your rival opens away, revealing the sleepy demi-god in all his disheveled glory.

The older boy blinks at you for a few seconds, before his mouth starts talking, “Eh, so now you want to work. Mr. I hid away for three hours while we were working because I just wanted to cuddle with a girl I just met while I leave my loyal friend to work instead! Come back after I take some time off to meet a cute girl myself!” The sleepy prince is to out of it to really try filtering his wicked thoughts, and like they say, the truth always hurts!

Morning Eden you really are too cruel… why are you doing this to me? Why have you betrayed me?

You feel like either crying in shame or blushing like an idiot, but instead you defend your honor, “It’s not like that, I-I really saw something back then… and then I got depressed! I wasn’t goofing off!” Your hands shake Eden’s shoulders as you try to force the prince to believe in you!

The prince elegantly removes your hands from his person, as his eyes grow sharper and more aware, looks like your shaking has revived the sleeping prince! “Yeah, sorry about that. I know that Witches are really sensitive about to spiritual phenomena, sometimes Mother just stares at a random place every other week because of a magic pressure or something.

Sadly to me, magic is just an alien concept, so I never properly understand why Mother acts the way she does most of the time.” Yeah, you get Eden, you are a witch too and sometimes you can’t understand Medea either, “So Kouga, why are you here, don’t tell me you want to take the day off to go on a date or something stupid. We came here to work!”

>Sure, let’s take a day off, you stupid prince!
>Let’s go to eat downstairs, we have to get going.
>Let’s contact the Alchemists.
>Talking about yesterday… Eden what did you see inside exhibition room.
>For the record, BT is my friend, and I feel you should try to become her friend too. [Talk about BT]
>Cute Girl? I never took you for the type that wants to date, Eden.

>Poor Eden... this is the future you guys created!

>>34538351
“Wait a moment, a cute girl? So is the prince of Mars looking for a princess?” Eden, the stoic cool prince, blushes, and you know that you have to attack with everything you have, “I never took you for the type that had time for girls!”

To give the guy credit, Eden quickly recovers and soon his stoic mask returns to his princely face, “I am a healthy male, Kouga, it is quite normal to show interest in the opposite sex, so I find your insinuations unnecessarily immature, Plus, before you worry about my female problems, maybe you should worry about your own problems first.”

So before you can help Eden get a special female friend, you should find you own eh? Or does Eden mean that he doesn’t need your help with girls… well both bother you, but you know better than to push your rival too much.

“Okay, Okay, so what about yesterday? What did you find out in the exhibition room? Is the security really tight?” Time to get back to business… right?

“No, quite the opposite, Kouga. There are no security cameras that I could see in the area, and the patrol routes do not cover that area, it’s almost like that exhibition room does not exist for the guards, or they are purposely ignoring the place. Like I said yesterday, it’s probably some sort of Bait.”

“Yeah, I know that, but we have to get that book… we don’t have a choice about that.”

Still, you probably still have some minutes before BT wakes up, just enough to talk with Eden for a few more minutes, what do you do?
>Well, since you suggested it, want to take the day off and look for cute girls?
>Let’s go to eat, we have to get ready Eden.
>Let’s phone the Alchemists.
>Eden… do you want to learn magic? It’s not like you don’t have the potential to do that.
>Just to say, BT is my friend, and I feel you should become friendlier with her.
>Ask Eden about the city, how does he feels about it?

“Then let’s go and eat Eden, BT will come down on her own.” You motion outside the room and soon the Orion Saint and you find yourselves sharing breakfast down stairs. The food is a simple continental breakfast, so amidst some omelet, bread and orange juice you talk with your friend.

“So Eden, what do you think about the city, do you like it?” To Eden, this is probably the first time he has come here, right? So you feel curious about how he feels about the place.

“I know you dislike the city Kouga, I can notice it from how much you frowned yesterday, but I like the city, I love the sense of culture and history that I can get from this city… I honestly wish that we could find some time to visit this city to our leisure, before the promised time comes.”

“Oh, so the culture and history is what you like, I thought that you would say that you liked the French girls, well Eden, you don’t have to worry, if you dislike the girls here, I can present you a cute girl eventually!”

“Why thank you, Kouga… thanks!” So thick with sarcasm… still the face Eden makes is just hilarious, and you laugh uncontrollably until the son of Ares indignantly tosses you a bagel at you! “Kouga, you should stop playing around like that or else I will start believing that you only have a one track mind. Plus, I know for sure that Sister would be cross with you if she hears about this, she certainly will be surprised by this new facet of yours. ”

Ouch Eden, that one hurts. Sonia is technically your boss, so yeah, she would certainly get angry about this, and a Saint doesn’t have time to waste in a relationship.

>Well, let’s wait for BT, Eden.
>Let’s take the time to phone the Alchemist Vivi.
>Ask Eden how he feels about today.
>Try to check on Al, he should be having breakfast by now.
>Ask Eden about Magic, why didn’t he bother to learn it?
>Talk to Eden about BT, maybe the prince can help you with her.

You see BT walking down the stairs, and you take a moment to stand up and walk to the public phone, leaving your two friends alone. Well BT needs to talk with more people and … you hope this is a good idea.

Still you take the public phone, drop in some Euros and quickly call the number the alchemist gave you, it’s about seven in the morning, so you hope they are awake.
The phone rings, and eventually you hear someone pick it up, “Welcome to the Justice HOTLINE! If you have a problem and need a hero of JUSTICE to help you, feel free to call us! We well save the day and destroy evil, in the name of justice!” This is the voice that brings hope to those who are oppressed, the sign of a true hero… this is JUSTICE!

Okay… this is weird, but you have met weirder people, so keep calm and play it safe, plus she can’t do anything to you through the phone, so nothing to worry about. “Umm… why are you saying that, Alchemist Vivianca Barlobello?”

“Oh, it’s my fellow Agent of Justice, the Black Pegasus Kouga! How are you, Saint, I honestly expected you to call us later in the day, but I am pleasantly surprised you are calling this early. Good, everyone knows justice rises early!” So energetic, so fun… is this girl really a soldier who will fight evil? You feel like she is playing around.
“Well yeah, but take this serious, I just want to call you about today’s job. Are you available now?”

“Sure Mr. Saint, we can meet right now, if you want I can go to your base of operations or we can meet somewhere else. We can even meet in the museum if you want.” You also are considering asking the Alchemists to stay out of this, or maybe to just not talk with her and just ask her to work with you.
>Other?

You can easily ask this alchemist to join you when you enter the museum or maybe you can ask her stay outside and be ready to give you support without bothering to hold a meeting, right now you feel you are wasting too much time, and maybe moving this fast might help. Plus right now the museum is not open, so the earlier you arrive, the greater the chance that innocent civilians won’t get involved.

So what do you do?
>Ask the alchemist to meet you at your hotel.
>Ask Vivi to meet you at a random café.
>Ask Vivi to meet you at the museum!
>Ask Vivi to join you at the museum, you will get the book right away.
>Ask VIvi to wait near the museum, she will be your support through this mission.
>You want to talk right now, through the phone.

“Okay I want you go to the Museum and stay outside, I am not sure what could happen, but if a fight starts we are planning to run away, so I would welcome your support.” Well, basically you are telling her that you don’t trust her, and will just use her when everything goes to shit (which it will go).

So for a moment you, you fear that Vivi would get mad at you, but the alchemist just chirps happily, “Cool, I can do that, a hero is the type of person who comes in at the last moment to protect the innocent. So when you are in danger, I will come to protect you, Saint Kouga!” Hey shouldn’t it be the opposite, you are the Saint here not her, “Still, you have to be careful, there is something weird going in the city, the leylines are all weird… be careful, Saint and good luck!”

“Thanks, just be at the museum, if nothing happens inside, we can meet outside afterwards and you can escort us out of the city.” That’s your goal, to get the evil book outside of this place so Medea can seal it for you.

“I hope it works, but don’t hesitate to call for help Saint Kouga, like I said, I promise to save you! That's what an ally of justice would do!” Hey, you are the one who does the protecting, but before you can protect verbally, the Alchemist closes the line… and you just return back to your table to a bizarre sight.

The prideful prince of mars on his knees, holding up a small plate as an offering for BT… and what is the offering you ask? IT was cake, a sweet delicious and expensive looking chocolate cake, yeah you can already see Eden’s wallet crying in tears of shame.

“So… what?” Eden face turns mechanically to meet yours, and his eyes say it all. ‘It’s your fault Kouga, you will die!!!!’ Yup, he’s mad! Really mad… but you wonder why he is doing this, did he lose a bet or something?

Thankfully BT sees your confusion and fills you in, “Why are you confused, Kouga. Orion Eden is merely following the traditional method to secure friendship you taught me a week ago! He is offering a high-quality baked good as a means to facilitate dialogue between our parts, and thus officially stablishing our friendship!”

In other words, BT probably just wanted cake and she is playing Eden for the sweet just like she did you back then, so you only have one answer to this. “Good Job! Work for friendship Eden!”

Needless to say, the glare Eden gives you could kill even a god, so before your prideful prince grows even madder at you, you should…
>ask your friends to go to the museum, you will meet the contact right now.
>go to check on Al, he should be in a nearby hotel.
>go to the museum, you will check for magic/traps.

“Actually talking about friendship, Eden you never gave me any cake? How can you be my friend when you haven’t offered me some cake, you heard BT, cake is the means by which humans become friends!” Sorry Eden, but you already paid my prize back then, so you have to do it now, plus you are low on brib-you mean sweet confectionery, and Eden is going to become a willing provider of it.

The glare Eden gave you could kill, in the legends up north, there say there was a God that could kill just by looking at someone, and now I am thinking that maybe Eden might be related to that guy instead of Mars… so you don’t get any cake.

That’s sad…. “You are really mean Eden, knowing how much I like cake, and yet you refuse to give me any… what a horrible friend I have, oh I feel sad!” Like a crocodile, tears magically appears in your eyes, and soon a victim is born! Go, Go, Guilt! Go, Go, Guilt!

Eventually your poor friend caves in, BT’s actually has a pretty intimidating glare, who knew, and he meekly presents you with a slice of cake, only for you. “Don’t get the wrong idea, I am being forced to do this, Kouga!” Yeah, yeah, don’t be like that, we both know that deep down you are not that mean Eden, that’s why you didn’t protest that much.
So with your new sweet good at your side, you pull out a map of the region and hold your Clothstone pendant over it, as you prepare for your magic show.

“Kouga, what is the reason that you have pulled your clothstone out? As far as I understand, there is no need to summon your cloth right now?” Naturally BT is curious about what you are doing, and although Eden is curious too he won’t admit it, so you explain quickly.

“Our new friends told us to check an irregularity in the earth pulse in the city, so I am preparing a spell to check it out, using the clothstone as a divination tool, I will map out the ley lines and find if there are any important distortions.” Yeah, they really don’t understand what you mean, but who cares, time to check that flow of cosmos underneath the world.

>Roll 3xd100 to divine the Earth Pulse!

>>34536356
Hey, what are the wise up options we got?

>>34542797
“Come, show the life that flows through the world, show me the pulse of the Mother Earth, and paint it on the canvas before me!” Like it were a brush, the pendulum that is your clothstone swings widely on your paper, using your dark cosmos to plot on the paper with the flow of energies that navigate the lands below.

The pendulum swung wide arcs, painting the whole map with dark lines, until the whole paper was painted an eerie black… and it caught fire!

BT wordlessly puts out the burning paper down, while Eden worriedly looks at you, “That’s not a bad omen, right? That’s perfectly normal.” The problem is that you are not sure yourself, after all this means…

“Well, I think this means that the pulses of the leylines have thickened under the city… in other words they have grown in power, and right now the whole city, the 100 or so square kilometers of the city… they are one giant leyline, that holds almost unlimited magical energy…”

BT herself quickly understands the implications of what you are saying, but Eden, not being related to the field of magic in any meaningful way asks you, “So is that bad? Having a strong earth pulse means that the land is healthy, and that the people here will prosper. The Cosmos of the Earth is a sign of life, or so they say.”

“That’s true but… with this much energy, a mage here could use it to cast any spell they want, they could replicate the spell Black Dragon used to become a God easily, or maybe they could use it to create a system that grants any wish, hell you could even use it to punch a hole into the underworld and summon an army of demons…” … well, shit!

Someone could use this mess of a leyline to turn Paris into a Hellgate!

You need more cake... more and more cake.

Okay Kouga, you are a witch, the student of the most evil and evil witch of the world, so you can’t freak out. You have to calm down and think, you have to calm down and think very hard about this mess. Sure the magical power is there, but that alone won’t be enough to make a gate to hell, you need the authority of a god to help the process, and you doubt that of the gods that have the power to do that, any would be so stupid to try and bring hell to earth.

That would be suicide, and it’s not like people can do like Prometheus and steal the authority from a god and… oh… oh… OH Boy. You forget about your half eaten cake that you got from Eden, and concentrate.

The layout of the area, the reason the urn is there, that’s not a bait, the place is so open because it needs to invite everyone there… so it’s not a bait, that exhibition hall is a shrine, a shrine to carry out a grand ritual, one using the table as the key catalyst.

So yeah, they really can do this… and that’s absolutely terrifying.

“Okay guys, we have to be steal that Tablet no matter what, we have to get Grimoire away from this city as soon as possible; otherwise… the world will end.” Forget about the year Mars gave you, if you mess this up the world will be taken over by demons and all will end!

So you take that thing or the world ends… peachy.

As you take a bite of your suddenly not so sweet tasting cake, you can only think one thing. Ha, Medea really jinxed you! Stupid Wtich, you hope something bad happens to her! This is all her fault!

>Kouga: Saint of Mar 27 END

Next Time: City of Light (IX), Meltdown syndrome! For the sake of this world of light, you can not fail, Saint of Mars!

I will end the thread early today, because I have to work tomorrow, but I promise you guys to run tomorrow, so I hope you guys join us to help Kouga do his heist and save the world! If you guys have comments/questions/critiques, I will hear them all, and expect a fun session tomorrow, for I hope things get wild.

Do have to warn you, if you fail this mission, you better hope you either start grinding that Seventh Senses or find a Comp… for you will need it. So yeah, if you fail forget about Babel... it won't be needed anymore.
