This sucked so bad. They finally got into Shale Town, and he was left in the impoverished area that only got grumps for food. Needless to say it was hard to get into this town considering the Guild that ran the show. But...they were strong, and the defenses rivaled Aegis. Gamma had little other options for viable options considering he is technically on the run from his creators, so they call themselves. Yet him and Theta had nowhere to turn to, no place that could offer the amount of protection they required to keep the children alive. Psy and Phi, who were old enough to walk deserved to play with other kids and have fun unlike what they had, and Sigma was still a baby.
Navigating the city had proven to be difficult when you consider all the new and old constructs made around the damage from the calamity. Or people who were just in general shadier than a shadow from a lamplight. Gamma’s hands held the twins, keeping them from wandering away, and Theta held Sigma with maternal care. As they entered got to the gates, the blue haired slayer locked eyes with one of the guards. “I need to be a mage here,” the voice was cold but seemingly desperate as he kept the twins from running to tug the guards pants.
Theta tugged on Gamma’s shirt, “Calm down Gamma,” she tried easing the man only to have the guard intrigued, “We’re both Mages!” he responded sharply only to have the guard not really question to much, they gestured them inside and guided them to the seat, it appeared the guard was a mute or something of the sort. Theta took her seat and the twins moved to sit beside her, but Gamma, his pride, his anxiety every single fear that pulsed through his veins, all moved to his painful Lacrima scar visible across his chest. It hurt, but he didn’t have the patience to allow his kids (well adopted kinda sibling kids but you get the drift) to rot and always be on the run.
Whatever he’d have to do, he’d do it. Even if it meant selling his soul to the very Devil’s he slays.

Knocking.
"Come in~"
Ivory had been stowed away in her room, organizing a few magical trinkets she'd found during her survey of Scoria. Now that vampirism had afflicted her she had less need to "rest," and when there was no pressing task at hand, she'd found that cleaning and singing had somehow became a new normal default for her.
It was weird. Really weird.
Did AJ had a secret cleaning addiction herself? Was that why?
"There's a mage and his children here, asking to be considered to join Odin's Spear. I'll notify the Godfather next."
Oh? It wasn't rare for Asgard to be sought out by practitioners around the world, especially given their growing influence as one of the only guilds actively trying to maintain law and order. This was probably the fourth instance in the last week that someone had came seeking a cause and a refuge at the tower of Asgard. At least half of them had been turned away, but they had been offered refuge in Shale Town, which was nearly just as good.
Nodding, she'd put down a ruby embedded dagger upon the shelf she'd been sorting and began out, quickly zipping down to the ground floor in a blur of movement; a perk of her new species. Once there she'd lay eyes upon a blue-haired man of excellent build, and his four children [[? Not sure how old Theta is supposed to appear haha.]] Her brow would quirk curiously, before she'd give a simple welcoming grin, "Greeting, Sir..? I hear you're interested in joining OS. I'm guessing so that you can afford means to keep those little ones safe?"
There were a few made men and women who had children, too, and though it wasn't necessarily desirable due to the dangers that sometimes came with Spear related tasks, it was not an automatic fail. Especially if the prospect was a mage. Which, he certainly was; she could feel it, his and the girl's magic was flirting with the atmosphere.

So Psy & Phi = two/threeish? Sigma an infant & Theta a sister of equal age or? (Post 1) |

Rather than adopting her new form, today Justice chose to remain in her original body. It was a gift provided to her courtesy of her willpower, though the sharp fangs and vampiric scar on her neck remained. The change in mannerisms also lingered, but she enjoyed staying in this state when she needed to speak to people who otherwise failed to recognize her—overtime, she decided to break in the alternate state provided to her after her transformation.
Legs kicked up on her desk, she studied a book of yore. Lost to time and ruin, these tomes were a rare commodity today—afforded to only the most luxurious of communities. Investigating further into the cause of the Calamity, she sought to figure out the identities of the conspirators causing it. After all, she suspected remnants of their interference lingered within their era.
A knock sounded throughout her office. Wolfish ears twitching, the half brunette, half redhead turned her slit, golden gaze towards the door.
“Yes?”
”Boss, there’s a mage with his children here, asking to be considered for initiation. I already contacted the Underboss.”
Gaze lingering on her subordinate, she covered her left eye with dark accents and a holy glow. In an instant, the Godfather’s divine blood activated. After a moment of prophetic scrutiny, she nodded. ”I see. I shall be in attendance in a moment.”
And by a moment, she meant immediately. Her body shimmered and turned into light, and she manifested next to Ivory in the blink of an eye while the latter spoke to the family.
Arms behind her back while she held her elbow, Justice listened for the response. With the Underboss already forwarding their mutual question, she refrained from being redundant. Instead, she flashed a diminutive smile in her direction.

These people were almost unholy in the way that they appeared in front of him. This didn’t seem like a kind of teleportation magic, but it also didn’t seem demonic. Rather it just seemed something ominous like a curse or blessing to some. Some part of his bones shivered in their presence as he worried for the children behind him. Gamma however was faced with this presence, but yet with a duty that shackled him to the people behind him. The gray woman, then the other one, who had remained silent. Though whom he could only assume was the guild master and most likely the co-master, or however they worked. The bright blue eyes turned to both of them, “Yes, I want to be a mage here,” the determination was strong, even if he was judgingly watching.
Theta remained quiet as she held Sigma close keeping him quiet. Gamma had the fear that if he was turned away the family would surely starve and die. Or the very least one or all of them would die. The first woman’s smile seemed genuine but he had been tricked before. People who did evil hide behind the grace of kindness, but wandering eyes always showed distrust, or evaluation. Taking a deeper breath he sighed, “Those are my….children and my sister. If I leave here today...I don’t know how many of us will survive… At the very least If I die as a mage I know someone will look after them!” he responded as the twins jumped up running up to the quiet woman, almost making Gamma run to grab them, but Theta prevented him. Though the twins didn’t touch the women, they just looked up at her, “HI” they chanted, “Pretty,” the boy complimented.
“Psi, Phi,” he commented calling them back but they failed to listen. Gamma bit his lip as Theta moved forward, “Please….they are young Homunculi. We can’t keep walking around aimlessly, because their bodies ache from the Lacrima’s inside and we can’t do anything to help if were in danger.” her voice was soft, “The scars on our chests are where the Lacrima are,” she pointed out mainly the children’s and Gamma’s who were clearly visible. “ Gamma also has a lost magic. He’s designed to kill devil’s. At least that’s what they were making him for.” Gamma nudged the women for fear that these people would know about them.

The Godfather was always one to show up in a magnificent way, wasn't she? Ivory smiled, briefly returning Justice's glance before focusing her bloody orbs upon the man. She could smell the scent of dis-ease wafting off him the whole time, but she listened and observed patiently.
"I understand your concern, times are trying indeed. But we don't take in just anyone. Our guild is a family, after all, and we cannot let just anyone bear our insignia and our mission." Absently, her gaze fell to the small ones as they approached Justice to innocently greet and compliment her. She'd find herself brushing against Justice then, nudging her with her side, as if to quietly convey the exclamation of 'looka these cute little fuckers!'
When the sister came forward to corral them back, Ivy's head titled ever so slightly. Homunculi? She'd kneel before the children, both hands patting them each on the head. "Is it true, little ones? You hurt whilst you move?"
She'd let Justice address the rest for now, but she had absorbed it all herself. "Devil Slaying," artificial humans, struggling to survive. It sounded like good reasons to allow someone residence in Shale Town, but not necessarily within the guild itself. For one, with someone with their own family, how could their loyalty ever be grand enough to server the guild in a selfless manner? But that was to be for AJ's Eye to discover. To see whether or not these two could be a boon that they could trust.

”Twins?”
Ivory nudged her, but she saw how adorable they even without the aid. After all, when approached, flecks of surprise manifested in the Godfather’s eyes. Her expression warmed, and she lowered until she crouched. Lips curling into a sleepy smile, she regarded both children who complimented her and tilted her head to the side. Though she listened intently to the conversation at hand, it was hard for Justice to resist when she witnessed two people who hit home for her.
”Hey there. I’m a twin too, you know. But you two are way cooler than us,” she remarked, though refrained from touching them out of a lack of permission from their parents. The Underboss seemed to join her in the doting, though ended up doing the single thing Justice refrained from doing. Well, whatever.
”Unless the ability to slay devils also allows one to interfere with divine scrying, I don’t think any of them pose a legitimate security threat to our halls. However—it should be noted that trust really is key here, without it, everything comes crumbling down and people just end up suffering more. Residence within Shale Town is guaranteed regardless, but then there is the matter of the guild…” After lowering her gaze to the floor, arms hanging over her knees, she pushed herself up again.
”Not all devils harbour animosity, but there are many who do,” she started, thinking for a moment. She did not want to alarm the little ones, and thus she focused on wording this right. ”Bad people and creatures, they need to be stopped. For their own gain, they aspire to stop people from rebuilding the world and hurt others. That’s not very nice—and I think a Magic specializing in that area would be an incredible boon, hmm.”
