peppa pig [mission/closed]

Kasumi Ito. Proud albeit new member of the Odin's Spear said to be composed of made mage who are ready to get their hands dirty no matter the task. When she read the contract, she had assume that doing dirty things means morally grey things. Like stealing, saboteur or even killing the leader of the rival gang group.

Stealing a pig was definitely not one of those things. She glared at the poster as if it had offended her, steal her jewels and possibly kill her family while at it. Tearing the paper off the wall, she walked towards the receptionist to process it before she took off. Now it's just a matter of meeting of the other mage and work together to capture the swine.

Or so she thought. Kasumi bit her lip slightly after hearing the farmer explained to her. Another mage had arrive at the scene before her went off to do the task on their own. Granted, the task was quite easy so she could see why they went off without her but still. Taking a deep breathe, she followed the foot track towards where her fellow mage partner would be.

Her vein popped. Her partner was the very man who took off without the paying the library book he promised to. He was squatting around, apparently looking for something seemingly unaware of her presence and concentrate on whatever was in the bushes. Was it the hog? At this point she didn't quite care. Her foot swung backward before forward aimed straight towards Orion's rear.

Orion Prima

The kick had hit Orion solidly in the posterior, granting her a slight measure of satisfaction. Well actually, she would be more satisfied with her pockets filled with jewels she paid for the book. Her face turned pointedly to the side upon the inquiry, the mage knew well enough what her answer would be.

Orion soon redirected to the mission to which she would slowly turned back towards back towards him. Honestly, she wished she could just hop back on the train to get her mind occupied with something else but it was the lack of jewel that had her set on this mission. Sighing, she placed her hand on her hip.

"I'm taking a cut of the library book cost from your share of the mission. Now, do you know anything about the kidnappers? Any identifying feature for the pig we're looking for?"

This was probably one of the most unique job she had to handle thus far but that doesn't prevent her from going by the books to approach it.

What better way to hide a tree than in a forest? Kasumi would turn to focus on the barn indicated, her brows creased as she engrave the detail of the pig into her memory. The heart shape tattoo would be easy enough to spot even with the dim lighting but a tiny mole inside the ear would be a different story. She made a mental note to keep an eye out for portable source of the light.

"Got it. Let's just get this over with." Kasumi replied as she approached the barn. Sticking to the shadows of the tree casted by moon, her feet practically glided over the grass as she made her way to the barn. Her eyes were peeled as she keep a lookout for patrols or dogs near the farm. The last thing she wanted was to have one barking and giving them away before they can even get started.

Orion Prima

The absence of dogs made their stealth approach much easier as they only have to consider the late night patrols. With their primary source of detection being vision, the shadows provided refuge for them to take cover under. Listening to Orion's words, Kasumi took a moment as she debated leaving them alone or taking them down, before ultimately decide to go for the latter. She rather not stumble on the guards while moving out the pig.

"I'll knock them out. Make sure to keep an eye out on the others just in case."

With those words Kasumi would suppressed her presence as much as possible as she slipped inside the barn. As they were not mage, she didn't bother to check for magical wards of any sort as she promptly make her way to one. The squeaky floor made it a tad difficult to be completely silent but she was already within range before the thief would recognize her presence as she swiftly knock them out. Once the mage was finished, she would check the thief possession for flashlight before making her way back to Orion.

Kasumi exhaled slightly once she make her way towards Orion. Even with little preparation, everything was going rather smoothly thus far that she even dared hope that they may actually be able to finish this early after all. Following Orion's direction, she gave a small nod at his query as she tighten the grip on the flashlight. However, as soon as they entered the barn door she can practically hear a shattering sound of her hope that she would be able to go early.

"What was that about a different pen?" she asked and though her voice was hushed, a trace of annoyance can be heard. She would consider herself lucky if they can identify the hog they needed to steal within the given time, let alone move it. She tested the flashlight functionality by switching it on, giving them the illumination needed to go through the sleeping swines. Time was ticking fast however so she decided to get to it immediately.

"Let's find the ones with hearts on their rear. We'll narrow it down from there." she suggested, her eyes already narrowing slightly as she scrutinize for that symbols. If the thief were overly cautious they would certainly duplicate the mark so as much as she wanted to carry the first one she see, she doubt they would get another chance if it turns out to be wrong.

Orion Prima

The pungent odor of mud assaulted her nose as she began to move closer around the pen, beam of light moving everywhere to identify the pig with a heart tattoo. If she wasn't built of stronger stuff she probably would have empty her stomach content over here. Helping him count the number of pig branded, her heart nearly sank upon as the number she count rose more than 3.

"Five." she said at last, double checking her own count. Kasumi wondered for a moment if the thief had some easy way to identify the pig other than the mole but her wrist watch told her they don't have enough time to worry about that. Swearing under her breathe, she leapt inside the pig pen so as to directly assist him.

"Now let's find the one with the mole on it's ears. Think you can hold one still enough for more than a few seconds?"

Her nose twitched slightly as some of the mud got splatted over her but she tried her best to ignore that for now. One can only hope that the laundry shop would her clean these mud stains.

Orion Prima

Kasumi watched as the pig trashed and squirm in the man's grip, sending mud everywhere. Wiping away the mud that covered her lips, she cast the light down the pig's ear to look for the mole. With her eyes squinted, she immediately shook her head upon discovering the absence of the identifying feature.

"Not this one, let's try that one next." she said, her tone a bit more rougher than intended. She was losing cool in this situation and the smell certainly didn't help. However her footing were unstable and she struggled to balance herself. Kasumi's effort nearly cause her to faceplant in the mud but fortunately her hand reach out on the ground to prevent such fate. A soft curse escape from her lips as she recognize just how close she was to the ground.

"I'm fine, just get that pig." she said even without prompting from her partner. That was a completely embarassing position she got caught into...she just hoped that nobody else get the wind of this. At the very least she wanted to wash away any embarrassment she suffer this day with result.
