__ Kenshin continued to stand in front of the store's main door. When Souta asked about what to do next Kenshin would nod and respond. "Guard the window on the right side of the building in case of burglars." Captain Kosei commanded and pointed towards where he needed to go with his baton. He then pointed to Kojiro and gestured for him to go to the left side. "Kojiro, I want you on the left side in front of the garage where they load the store's shipments." Now they would have guards on all sides of the large store which contained many valuable luxury goods within its walls. Kenshin would continue to hold his position at the main door which was made of glass and would be easily broken by rioters on the street side. Their voices were becoming increasingly audible as it seemed as though many of the protesters were starting to move to this block. "Stay, boy." Kenshin said to Todoroki, he wanted to keep the dog by his side guarding the main entrance for now. He also waited for Kojiro and Souta to get into their positions.

Souta responded to his orders with a swift, short bow, and jogged off towards his post. The crowd was drawing closer, and Souta was, as might be expected of a kid, growing more nervous by the moment. There was something different about the prospect of a real fight that was causing him a bit of distress that wouldn't normally exist, even if he only showed his unease slightly. In the depths of his subconscious something akin to an itch started. As if there was something else there that wanted, no, demanded his attention. It was one of the strangest sensations he'd ever experienced, the sensation of something moving in the furthest recesses of his own mind.
Todoroki barked in compliance to Kenshin's orders. He sat diligently as he watched the influx of people for the protest and initially panted along a smile. The energy emitting from these people, however, then alarmed the dog into observence. As a canine, he sensed danger from the crowd the same way a prey realizes all too late a predator has spotted them. The dog moved to four feet as his nose picked up a distinct scent. He broke into a low growl as he his muscles tensed. There was someone really bad in this crowd. The dog could not see him or make out his voice from the rest of the crowd. However, Todoroki was deeply aware that there was at least one threat within the protest.
Kojiro nodded, Kenshin's commands being clear. He poised himself at the garage door. The debris in the loading dock would have a muddied surface, appearing slick if he moved too far down. For this reason, he poised himself on the ramp that would slope downward into the pit. His palms rested now on each of the swords, ready to act. The crowd's movement towards them grew ever more clear. Soon the fight would be upon them.
As Kojiro listened to the mod riot, a thought came to mind. Why were they allowed to get this far? Was order not able to be restored before now? Were they to just wait on the destruction to reach this far? He gritted his teeth, realizing the mission was what he must perform...still. He knew that they were capable of stopping the havoc sooner if permitted.

__ The police captain raised a sign with one hand that divided his face. Suddenly, his ocular veins would swell and his vision improved nearly infinitely. He now watched as Souta and Kojiro went to their assigned posts. Then he examined the rioting unfolding nearby. Anxiety was building in him in anticipation for the storm's inevitable rampage into their guarded area. He saw his assigned police in riot gear with masks, shields, and batons pushing back the first wave of looters. The peaceful protesters seemed to have either left or hid as violence ensued. The police circled scissor cut them on both sides of the road to keep the chaos contained. The violence was spreading from the outer edges of the crowd of hundreds of civilians into the center. Now the rioters were breaking through the police line on the south side. They began calling in for backup as the floodgate broke through them. Half of that group of fifty went to the street on their right while the other half split into the avenue where Kenshin and the genin were guarding the jewelry store. "They're coming, be prepared to defend yourselves!" The Hyuuga shouted out and warned the others while brandishing his baton. The group of twenty five Otogakure origin refugees belonging to a gang of such affiliation then ran towards the jewelry store. They identified their police uniforms immediately and sought to attack the four of them and loot the grocery store. Fifteen of the men approached Kenshin and Todoroki with violent intentions to flood the front entrance. Meanwhile, five went to Kojiro and five went to Souta at the side entrances. The men ran somewhat frantically towards them as this was not a planned heist. Two of the five men approached Souta and attempted to grab him by the arms to move him out of their way. Meanwhile, one of the five men on Kojiro's side reached for his throat. Three men moved in on Todoroki at the main entrance to subdue him while a group of five attacked Kenshin immediately. His vastly superior speed allowed him to make quick work of the citizens trying to assault him. He reared his baton's handle into one man's adam's apple while he hit the other four men in the head and chest variously causing them all to drop to the ground. The remaining men approached and Kenshin made quick work of them as well with his baton. He hesitated with using his blade as these citizens did not have deadly weapons.

Souta watched, curiously as two of the men coming his way took the initiative. It seemed a little odd, completely counter to human nature actually, for these people to try to loot this store at all. Groceries? During a riot? Fragile, spoil-able things normally didn't rate that high. With a sigh he took a quick gather step, activating two of his techniques in the process, and suddenly moved with the speed someone might expect of a more seasoned shinobi. Nothing too impressive, and all he dished out was an easily blocked Dynamic Entry kick to knock the man back. Unlike Kenshin, his goal was to avoid the brutalization of his fellow citizens if possible. As such, the other approaching man got a simple, but quite swift jab from the boy's baton in his decidedly exposed sternum. It'd hurt like hell, but it was far less damaging than targeting soft tissues like the throat or walloping them over the head. "Please stop, I'd rather not hurt any of you." He said calmly, settling back into a stance in front of his window. He hoped at least the two he'd already confronted would see that their friends had gotten whipped nearby, and that they hadn't engendered a serious response but still got driven back over here, and cut their losses.
Todoroki cocked his head back when the three men approached him. A loud howl escaped his lungs as he brought his head down and wind chakra spiraled from his gaping mouth. He aimed the swirling blast toward the center of the three men. The blast of the wind chakra was enough to disorient them and knock them haphazardly away. It caused none of them any real damage, but it was enough to halt them. In that moment, Todoroki leaped up and tackled the man on the far right to the ground. He howled as the body was pushed to the ground. In that same primal release the canine gathered more chakra and fired off another stream of wind chakra toward both opponent
Kojiro would ready himself as the targets before him closed on his location. They stormed towards him, battle cries empowering one another. His grip on his katana loosened as he saw the unarmed persons. As the nearest of the five approached, Kojiro's knee would rise swiftly into his gut. " You're....breaking the law!" he said, sending the first man flying.
His emerald green eyes shifted to the next two that would be approaching from both left and right. He would form a single hand sign in the center of his body with both hands then swiftly open each palm to either side of his body directly in the attackers faces. The open palms would emit a brilliant, blinding green light that would cause them both to begin stumbling about.
With the first three opponents incapacitated, the adrenaline had clearly been cut short of the remaining two. They stood side by side roughly ten feet from Kojiro. His gaze narrowed on the two as he moved rapidly towards them, stopping in the center of them just behind them. A powerful chop was delivered by each arm to the backs of their necks, knocking them unconscious.
Kojiro would casually move to each of them, using the zip-tie hand cuffs provided by the depearment's utility belt on each of the criminals. With all five of his bound and rendered useless in the riot he would turn to his companions. " All done here." he said, seeing the rest of them had done in their targets as well.

__ Kenshin placed handcuffs on all of the men that he dealt with forcefully as well as the rioters that Todoroki dealt with. He then watched as the men who were harassing Souta ran off because they knew that this break in was not going well for any of them. He then noted that Kojiro successfully bound all of his enemies up as well. Captain Kosei then retrieved his communication device from his duty belt and called in to central command. He also watched as the crowds were dispersed by the police and the majority of the rioters and protesters left the area. This was a relief as it meant that they fulfilled their assignment to guard the store during the riots without fail. "I need some officers to move one block over to the jewelry store. We have quite a number of men who need to be taken to the Compound for detainment." Once that information was given they confirmed after asking him a question that was muffled and hard to hear for all except for Kenshin. "Yeah, they're cuffed and restrained." He responded until they confirmed the reinforcements. About five officers moved one block over and collected all of the restrained men. "Well done." Kenshin said audibly enough for all of the police cadets to hear him. "Now I have to go to the Spire for some work. Keep doing missions and training and look for me later." With that, Kenshin began briskly walking towards the Spire.

"I would not have guessed the monsieur to be so ever the stingy with his forging materials non." The day after the mining excursion Trèfles was already well back on track to getting himself established work areas. Undoubtedly Toso would not allow a forge to be in Ika-Shokuji which translated into borrowing forges from already existing craftsman. There of course was no better place to do so than here in this district. He had only just exited a forging establishment of whom was willing to partner with him however, its master was reluctant to grant him access to its tools to suddenly until he'd proven himself to some degree reliable. Hence his recent talking to himself in regards to the situation that brought him to say such disingenuous words.
For now he would act as the errand boy for the master of the forge. Allegedly he had connections with his employer and boss Toso. Using that as a relationship with whom he considered a master of many arts the man had challenged Trèfles to gather x materials for x project he was currently working on. If Trèfles was worth his salt in soot he would know what he meant. Which of course he did as he looked at the list of projects that the smithery were in the process of making. The first stop would of course be molding wax. Using the funds he was provided he would cross this from the list.
Proceeding down the market isles district something caught the eye of Trèfles particularly. What was on display were puppets. They were of simple design. Crude in their creation but likely something that would get the job done. He would thusly inquire about them. "Ah yeah, these here are for Kugutsu users. You know we call em puppeteers. I can't recommend you buy one unless ya are a kugutsu user though. I ain't a cheat." "Only puppeteers you say? That seems to be quite the narrow market my fine sir bon." he would say eyeing the little compartments. "What can I say fella. Business isn't really booming. I get the occasional student. Maybe a commission her n there. But end o the day this is my livelihood." "Your livelihood you say? Well well, have you perhaps considered extending your reach past that of mere puppeteers?" "How would I go about doing that blue stranger?" If his mask could light up it would, his gloved hands grasping the shop owner.
"I have a miraculous idea monsieur. An idea bound to lead to fruitful business ventures for your little shop here should it catch on, bon. I will likely be needing these wonderful creations of yours to see to its fruition. What say you and I become partners yes?" "Oh...uh...I just make simple puppe.." NON! He would cut the man off. "These are conduits for great things monsieur. Should you agree to our partnership I will shop for these lovelies at your mercantile solely as such all I desire is a meager discount." Placing a hand on his his chin after the sudden surprise of interruption. The man looked at his puppets. The dustiness of his shop a sign of infrequent visits. With a sigh he'd reach out and shake the foreign mans hand. "Don't make me regret this. I'm in the hole enough as it is." "Tres bien my fine fellow. You will find that I will be frequenting your business from here on out. Ah additionally you wouldn't happen to have these here would you." "Ah...a planer. Yeah I got one..wait did you just make this deal to squeeze discounted goods outta me?" "Perish the thought monsieur. I'm simply doing the days shopping."
After giving Trèfles the planer he continued his bargain quest. Coming across more vividly interesting things. The man at the puppet shop would not be his only partnership it seemed. He was quite persistent with forming partnerships with a large sum of individuals who seemed to be down on their luck. This would be the beginning of the foreigners tightly knit web of commercial associates. If his father had taught him anything about business it was that the simple merchants are often desperate, and the most likely to take chances. He would no doubt be drafting several official contracts come time. Strung across his back would be a simple puppet...something of which he aspired to get to work on asap. It would certainly pit his current knowledge to the test.

Pleased with his performance the owner of the workshop nodded and asked quite straightforwardly "So what is it you want ta get started on? Sword? Shield? Armor? You don't seem the venturing type though." "Non, monsieur. consider moi an innovator of sorts. I have dabbled in may forms of creation but today this is what I desire bon." He would throw down the husk of a puppet on the floor. "Uuuuh what be it you want ta do with that? Chip inta fiber? "Non have you any in your employ who mayhaps has a familiarity with chakra batteries?" "Uuuuuuhg. Shoulda known a fancy fella like you was one of 'those' NIIIIIIIIIIINA!" He sounded genuinely disgruntled that he had to call for someone. Only later would it be revealed that someone would be his daughter.
Preparations : D x1
Descending a flight of stairs a dusty looking freckled girl came down. "WHAT CHA WANT YA OLD FART!" A decisive point came from the foreigner in the girls direction, one that was usually designed to strike hearts of fair maidens. Although she was having none of it. "Hey you tool it's impolite to point." "Ah, pardon mademoiselle you see I have a project that of which I desire to complete yes. That of a delicate technical variety hoho." "Nina, help sort whatever this fellow wants out." "Alright pops but he seems weird. ALSO I AINT NO HOE! SAY THAT AGAIN AND I'LL BUST THAT STUPID MASK OF YER FACE." The girl would look at Trèfles "Communicator? Phone? What cha need helpin with?" Picking up the puppet by its wooden neck he'd dangle it in front of her. "Well you see...let us talk within your workshop yes mademoiselle...I've been considering..." Assistance : D x1
Suddenly upstairs would shake and the girls dad would wince downstairs after striking some hot metal burning a bit of eyebrow..none to pleased he went back to work. "Yer fookin nuts! An autonomous puppet! That's the stuff of legends!..but if I could make something like that...the fart would have to acknowledge the chagin times." "So is that a non or a bon mademoiselle? "I don't know what your saying dipstick...but yeah. LET'S DO THIS! I just sure hope ta hell you know what you're doing. Catch." The girl would toss a small chakra battery at Trèfles of which he would catch in between his fingers skillfully. "I'll work on hollowing this thing out. You sounded like you knew how to handle makin batteries. Which is good, cuz were going ta need a big one." "Oh mademoiselle. Do not underestimate me. I may look and seem fresh, but I have done things such as these several times over over, bore witness to several forms of crafting methods around the world and..." "Cool that's nice pass me the chisel." "Oh..hem, yes then." Ah, poor Trèfles and he was so set on that globetrotting speech.
-Assistance : D x1 -Master Achieved: Technology
Roughly six hours or passed. His accomplice had hollowed certain parts of the puppet out and was already exhausted. "Hooo alright all done. We can work on the rest tomorrow. How did you d..holy s**t!" Before the girl on the work table laid out nicely as though it were a four course meal Trèfles had produced chips, wiring, a sizable battery the size of the puppets torso, that of which took the longest to produce seeing as he had to take breaks before inserting more chakra. He had yet to notice the girls reaction as he was currently playing with wires to see if they would light. He was waving his hand in front of the lights to see if they appropriately responding to movement in flickers. "I...I can't believe ya did all this...and so fast...who..nah..what...what are you?" "Why hello there my mademoiselle I hadn't noticed you there. Completed the hollowing process have you? WONDERFUL! MAGNIFIQUE! TRES BON! I must admit I was rather slower than usual today." "S...slower...now wait hold on I asked yo.." "Non non no time for that. Let us bear witness the fruits of our labors! Shall we?" He would present his hand...the formerly rough impressioned girl would blush to take it. "uh...yeah?" -Actual Smithing II : B x1 -Created Massive Chakra Battery -Advanced Kit -1
"Come come!" Pulling the girl with him to the hollowed puppet Trèfles would open the chest cavity to place the large chakra battery inside. He would then look to the girl and give her a thumbs up. He would then proceed to instruct her on where to put certain parts and what to collect. Having only just felt like the master mere hours ago she was already becoming flustered. Her head was spinning. It was then that in this rush something occurred. The arms of the puppets base fell off due to her inability to properly understand how to incorporate the wiring. The formerly dominant girl sighing and clenching her fist. Trèfles had yet to notice soldering something to a back panel. "THIS IS STUPID." Peeking his head out from behind the puppet at these words he would inquire almost too innocently. "Something wrong Mademoiselle? Ah. it seems the arms have come unhinged. Let us.." "No. I've been workin my arse off for years and I could never imagine doing something like this. Then all of the sudden some weirdo in a waiters outfit shows up and starts throwing this together like it was some sort of plush toy." Despondent the girl would leave for a sunken in chair that had seen much use. "What's even the point...you could do this whole thing yourself anyway. No matter how hard I work there's alway gonna be people like you I could have never done something like this myself." Reattaching the arms of the puppet repairing it he would listen almost intently to the girl as he did so. Something not in his usual routine whilst working. -Repairing! I B -Grandmaster Achieved: Technology
"Did you try before I arrived mademoiselle?" The question seemed to come of nowhere during the girls moping. "Wha?" "I asked did you try bon?" "Well no.. I mean.. the fact you just came in here an even proposed it was craz.." "Then how do you know you could never have done something Mademoiselle?" "I..what?" The foreigner approached the girl a remote of sorts in hand that he gave to her. "You see mademoiselle I was not always as talented as you presume. I have gained this talent from experience as I had said earlier from traveling the world with my step father bien. In those travels I have learned a simple saying. Nothing ventured nothing gained. There is no downside to trying something and failing aside failure." "BUT YOU FAILED WHAT KINDA SHITTY LESSON IS THAT!" "Oho? And? You'll likely fail a hundred times after today. Perhaps a hundred more the next. But in each failure you refine your talents, you produce new ideas, and from those failures..." the foreign blue skin manned grabbed the irritated girls hand that held the controller which calmed her briefly as he rose it with his in unison pointing it at the puppet. "the day you bear witness to your successes will be all that much sweeter bon." They eyes of the puppet lit up and in doing so as did the girls. The thing rose and stood up walked towards Nina and bowed offering its hand "May I have this dance?" it would say in a robotic voice. Arms crossed smiling beneath his mask he would watch as the girl danced with the 'robot' they had created. Another crowning achievement and notably another way the village would hear of his name. -Actual Smithing! III A - Special Kit -1 -Created: Haipa: The Sworn Defender
"Bonjour me amour! Shall we continue our works." "I uh...I have no idea what you said but we got the stuff you sent over. We can get started anytime your ready...but these..blueprints...for everything. They're insane...but I guess I shouldn't expect any less from you blue boy...lets go." "Hohoho now you're getting it!" Trèfles would reunite with Nina who would ready her goggles and give a thumbs up. "We'll work on the easier dreams and work our way up yes!" Setting up the table, shaping metal, and some soldering later with a sparkle and thumbs up the first of many devices would be made. "BIEN! I shall call it the BON BOARD!" "So er what's it do?" "Mmmmm yes,locomotion?" "YOU DON'T KNOW!?" "Well clearly I know what it is I designed it to do mademoiselle as to whether or not it does that is a whole other question...HOWEVER! I'll find someone who'll proceed with testing it later can't proceed with furthering ones dreams in cast now can I Ohohoho!' She'd raise her finger as if about to raise an argument only for her to put it back down. "I...alright then." •Actual Smithing A •Bon Board Created {-1 Special Kit}
"Let us take a look at Haipa bon." "What's wrong he's working isn't he?" "Ah yes! But is he working optimally bon! We must aspire to not only make our dreams come true but maintain them!" Trèfles had kept Haipa deactivated and in Nina's care since yesterday he'd been kept off for the time being. After some time Trèfles seemed to come to a conclusion that the energy could be better distributed assuming he had access to a better battery..."Bon we shall make Haipa even greater." "One problem" "Por quoi?" "I'm gunna assume you asked what. You have a lotta materials here but you're gonna need more to do something like you're suggesting..in a lot of these." "OOOh. You wound my pride. But I am enthralled that you're learning mademoiselle!" Blushing the girl punched the table to get back to her senses. "Yeah well you heard me!..We can start some of the base models for these though...they won't be powered or anything though." "Very well let us do so!" "What about Haipa?" "Bon. I do believe Haipa will further enjoy others of his like when awakes again!" •Actual Smithing A •Takahata The Supreme Service Created {-1 Special Kit}
"Hoo wee. I think we're getting better at this." "I am in much agreement bon! Now that we have tackled the more difficult let us take a break and proceed with a much simpler design jes?" "My names not jess. Uh, nevermind ya weirdo. Lets go." Placing the blueprint our masked foreigner would begin putting together the necessary technical pieces whilst his accomplice began hollowing and shaping the puppet body. At the end of the day they would have accomplished creating two of what they had only just accomplished creating one of the day before. While the models were made they were unfortunately still lacking in power sources. An inconvenience he would have to remedy in the future. After all these big projects were draining on the resources. He hadn't even come close to some of the greater ideas he had in mind. As a result he would leave the 'skeletons' here at the shop for now and venture into gathering more resources. •Actual Smithing B •Saza The Eagle Eye Created {-1 Advanced Kit}
"I hope you are ready my petit frere! I've returned with quite the collection!" "I...I'm aware..they shipped it in this morning...I just..I can't believe you're even a real person. These things you do, the stuff you plan on making...its all just so unreal.." "What is real and what is fiction is decided wholly on what one believes. Now let us start bon! More over I've need to earn the kages favor for my future projects and I've gifts in mind for just such a situation! Why even your father has warmed up to the idea." The stocky man would enter stage right as though her were on cue looking rather unamused. "You found yourself a live one Nina. I'll give you that." Grabbing the mans hammer much to his surprise. First things first opening one of the grates the electrified ore discovered earlier sparked back and forth as though a living creature. "Lets get our gifts underway." with trial and error and a few singe wounds this day would commemorate multitudes of creations. What once was a workshop of two people had expanded to a workshop of several of the masked man's newly established connections. A Major Project S x1 Legendary Kit: -1 Created: Gae Bolt
With a crackling bolt of electricity sealed away safely in a box a bead of sweat wiped from the brow and it would be on to the next project. The first had already taken much of the electrified ore but there was still plenty enough for the next piece. "This is...I dunno about this. It seems kind of..invasive." "Non. non. My dear moname its for the safety of the village! Something our Arashigake will most profoundly adore bon." "Okay guy..if you say so. Lead the way!" Undergoing the next project took some skilled hands, moreover it took a dynamic duo. Nina and Trefles would piece together something of a globe like nature. Then with a push of a button it started to run spinning around in what seemed to be a perpetual form of motion. A Major Project S x1 Legendary Kit: -1 Created: Tāwhirimātea {The Maori God of Storms}
Knuckles cracking and workshop in full swing the afternoon would be spent with Trefles isolating himself in a corner. He had given the crew their tasks to begin working on while he would work on something of his own. "Whatcha workin on slim?" Damn near almost jumping out of his seat Trefles caught the device of which he was working on with it almost hitting the ground breathing a sigh of relief. "Why something to revolutionize my business of course!" Nina seemed curious all this time this force of inspiration kept invading the workshop, bringing in people, bringing in new ideas, and bringing in tons of resources. Yet..she didn't know exactly what it was he did. "So..what is your business?" "Ah bon..I'm a traveling merchant...or will be. As soon as I've gotten everything in order." "Oh..so..you're leaving?" she sounded somewhat disappointed that there would come a day that the man who'd inspired her would leave arashigakure. "Yes Indeed! But not now. There's still much work to be done! You wouldn't mind helping those gents there finish molding that non?" "Ri..right." Trefles did not hesitate to ascertain that indeed there would come a time he would be leaving. In an effort to get her mind off things Nina would help a group of men with a large glowing ball of condensed gelel all the while looking at a supremely focused Trefles. "Nina! Pay attention! I need you to hold that up!" "R..right." Was she perhaps falling in love? Either or Trefles seemed oblivious to the entirety of it. When whatever he was working on was complete he'd walk up to the finished project she was working on an in a puff of smoke it was gone while the box winded whirred and then closed. "Ah, wonderful it works!" A Major Project S x1 Actual Smithing C x1 (I treat batteries made as C despite resource consumed) Legendary Kit: -2 Created: Hōdan ichiba {Artillery Market} Created: Chakra Battery Core
It would be at this point getting close to dark that Nina would approach Trefles who still seemed consumed in work. "Hey guy." "Bonsoir, what is it that you are needing of me madame?" "I was just wondering..could we make something together?" "Together you say? Is that not what we've been doing? Why twas just you and I when it came to..." "NO! That aint what I mean. We've been following YOUR Blueprints. I haven't designed anything really, and I was just wondering if we could...y'know make a blueprint and then work on. Togetherlike." "Oh? You're so sweet madame I could just eat you up bon!" "Don't call me sweet blue boy! I just..if yah are leaving I'd like to have something that I know both of us made from start ta finish. Placing his hand on her shoulder he'd ask softly. "Well now have any ideas?" Looking at the bartenders hands and then at him she nodded "Yeah." Dismissing the crew the rest of the night Nina and Trefles would work to produce the first piece to something they could call a labor of love. A Major Project S x1 Legendary Kit: -1 Created: Coup de main {French For: Helping Hand}
The next day would herald the beginning of nothing new in the particular. The major projects were just being fine tuned at this point. Approaching Trefles directing the construction of another similar looking core would be Nina. "So those gloves helping you out?" "Very much so bon! It was tedium having to go back and forth for materials now a simple snap of the finger and voila!" Snapping his fingers a collection of wires appeared of which he would hand to a man above him. "Twas a fine idea Nina-chan." the girl blushed at being referred to as a chan before hardening again. She'd then say something unexpected "Hey can I talk to you?" "But of course mademoiselle!" Trefles would provide a thumbs up to the men at work on the core and the several other men who he also had working on batteries. After all batteries were the simplest things to make. Moving upstairs to what was Nina's room when they first met it was still as messy and cluttered as before. "So you and I have been working with each other for awhile now." "Indeed!" "and I aint seen your face behind that mask this entire time." "Quite so!" he'd say confidently in agreement. "So I was wondering..can I see the man behind the mask?" The room grew silent. Trefles and his voice grew serious. "What brought upon this curiosity in my personage?" "I..I don't..you're gonna make me say it?! I was well wondering if you were going steady with any girl and if you would be interes.." "Non." he would cut her off "Wha..what? So then would yo.." "Non." "I..a..alright..thats alright..I get it..I..I ain't no pretty girl..and I aint gun cr..cry." despite her words the flat out blunt rejection of Trefles was unbelievably painful as it would be with any form of rejection. "You misinterpret. Had I the means to accept such a proposal I would but I cannot." heart rekindled tears stopped for this moment feelings of curiosity overwhelming that of sadness. "WHY THOUGH THEN!" A sigh. "Are you quite certain you want to see my face?" She seemed to be taken aback now not sure if she did or not but followed through despite her reluctance. "Ye.yeah." Reaching for his face, slowly he would remove his mask...Nina on the other end of seeing it would bring her hands to her mouth in disbelief if not shock. A residue goopy and disgusting like paste stretched from his face to the mask. Opening his mouth it looked like it was tearing, falling apart, the very image of a man whose face appeared to be melting as some of it dripped on the floor. Re-affixing his mask he would speak again. "This is why I wear the mask mademoiselle, and it is why I decline your advances. Though perhaps your heart may be able to look past it mine cannot." Suddenly what sounded like a man from below called up to above. "Hey boss! The batteries are done." "Now then there is work to be done. I humbly apologize. Do feel free to take the rest of the day off if needed...bonsoir." Returning to the deck below Trefles would begin a meticulous process of creating batteries out the remaining Gelel. Nina would not be seen for the rest of that day. Truly in these unfolding events he could now no longer currently at this time see himself making anything aside from batteries to get his mind off the situation. It was most certainly not pleasant in the slightest breaking Nina's heart as he did but he would not ever feel comfortable having anyone love him with a face like his. The meticulous process continued until everyone working had left. Trefles himself was left alone with meager batteries now using lower quality materials simply to kill time. A desk lamp flickered as the bulb eventually went out. Looking down he'd sigh only to feel a hand on his shoulder and a meat skewer in front of him. "Hey. I get it. Your face, is pretty bad, but I've seen uglier. See you tomorrow right but you ought to eat." "Merci beaucoup, Nina-chan. Of course. I'm not leaving yet after all." "Good to hear." lifting his mask slightly despite Ninas presence he'd eat his gifted skewer. "Gross" "You wound me madame." "Lets call it payback for earlier, partner." she'd offer her hand for a shake. "Harsh but fair, partner." For now the workshop escapades would come to a close. There were meetings to arrange now after all, and gifts to be given. Actual Smithing C x6 Created: Chakra Core x1, Exquisite Battery x3, Advanced Battery x2 Legendary Kits: -1 Special Kits: -3
Hīryu strode in to the Gust District, the winds blowing lightly causing a slight howl to be heard throughout the cavern. The muddled sounds of people's conversations echoing across the market area. "That mission was such a drag... I need to find some way to unwind." Hīryu continued to walk towards the market area, looking around at all the different weapon and armor stalls, hoping to find something that caught his eye. Luckily, as he came upon an armor stall, he noticed that they custom tailored items.
"Good evening. Is that sign correct? You custom tailor gear?" Hīryu asked the kindly old lady behind the counter.
"Why, yes we do!" the old woman replied with a grin.
"Wonderful! Could I commission you to add some armor to my jacket? Will this cover it?" Hīryu asked, holding out a hand with a purse full of ryo.
"Y-yes sir, that certainly will!" the old woman replied almost stunned, her eyes wide as she looked at the purse. "I can have that done for you right away!"
The old woman took the purse with haste and threw it under the counter. She then took Hīryu's jacket, and immediately got to work upgrading it.
The old woman handed Hīryu his jacket back as she finished, a noticeable new weight to it in his hand. He pulled the jacket up on his shoulders, and tested how the new jacket felt. It was essentially the same as before, but with a little bit of extra padding. Hīryu bowed to the old shopkeep, and turned to look back at the market. Taking a deep breath, he left, heading for home.

Stopping buy the market district Freya bought a few things she should have already bought. Some weapons, some scrolls and just a few odds and ends. Once she was done shopping most of the items where sealed in a lighting seal on her person before she'd continue to her destination.

tab "Here we are!" The shopkeepers would jump as a door manifested in front of them. "Your tricks are going to kill us some day Hojo-san." "Bloo bloo bloo. You'd be surprised how long it took me to get here. Now then lets see here." Toso would unravel a long list that looked like a scroll in length before bringing his fist up to his mouth to clear his throat. "I need." He inhaled deeply as the shop keepers got a look of dread in their eyes but the owner in the back a twinkle.
"Disposable gloves, a new sets of cutlery the old ones were damaged in the blood moon, add on some more dishes and utensils by the by bloop, a set of cooking aprons, a new set of chefs knives, a new set of pots and pans, and then fillet knives, steak knives, and bread knives."

"Hm, not quite. I have the intention to do some material hunting today so bloop, I will be needing, A climbing harness climbing rope, pickaxe, climbing anchors, a mining helmet, oh and three bundles of dynamite." "D...DYNAMITE! Are you su.." the owner brought a finger to his employee's lips as he shushed him." "Indeed." Once the rest of his request were placed on the counter the man stretched his back. "Alright anything else for ye?"
"Ah quite. Bloop. Two Shields." "Shield?" "Yes Bloop." "Pardon me saying but you've never seemed the shield type Hojo-san. "I agree. But that's the very reason why I suppose you could say."
