hakuna matata [closed/social]

Another day, another errand to take care of. This time the trip brought her all the way to Rhyolite village known for selling animals parts belonging to mythical beasts. A couple of them were rather difficult to get in particular that she had to resort to question the locals on how to get them. Just as she walked past the bar, her eyes caught sight of a drunken man tossed out like he was a garbage bag accompanied soon after by a familiar voice. The voice then called out her, removing any doubt of the identity of it's owner.

"Oh it's you Mr Prima. I was just passing by on an errand of mine."she replied, shrugging slightly. They have met each other several time in the past...of which some episodes she would rather not recount right now. Some things are better left to be forgotten yes. Her eyes would focus on the drunken man lying on the ground before her.

"I see that you're working as a bouncer now. Anything for a bottle eh?"she asked, folding her hands slightly across her chest in a teasing tone. The man had always smelled like alcohol...well, both cigarette and alcohol. Still, she supposed it was fitting that he could be found here...just as the woman herself could be found near the library or the local bookstore.

Orion Prima

After hearing the reason behind such a rough treatment, any sympathy she probably have felt for the drunk had basically vanished. If one cannot hold their liquor, then it would be best for them to not drink in public. Even moreso if they were a mage...their powers could blow up into something big if they had no inhibitions to suppress them. She nodded slightly at first until he propose her to join him for a drink.

Well, that was definitely unexpected. While they did leave each other in good spirits never did she thought that Orion would treat her to anything. Perhaps he was lonely drinking by herself and needed someone to talk with. Or perhaps he felt sorry for the library book he tore. Either way, she'd get a free drink out of it.

"Very well. I'll take that offer."

With that, Kasumi would began making her way inside the bar so as to look at her surroundings. Eyes were immediately drawn to her and she realized she couldn't have been more out of place in her suit. Still, the purplehead decided to ignore the stare and wait to be led to empty table either by Orion or barmaids.

Orion Prima

Like a gentleman, Orion discouraged the lookers from oggling her which impressed her once more but she didn't say anything out loud. Instead she would shake her head in return, burrowing her hands into her pockets. She was appreciative of the treatment at least and soon pulled a chair to his side.

"Give me Whiskey Highball" the girl replied when asked for her drink. Not wanting to get inebriated, she had decided to choose a drink with low amount of alcohol content. It didn't surprise her when Orion ordered beer, she had always pegged him for the type. Her cheek would rest against the palm of her hand as she listened to Orion's question.

"No complaints. Got promoted recently since we last met, but that's about it."she replied vaguely while shrugging her shoulder before she posed the question back to him.

"What about you?"

Orion Prima

Kasumi would lift her own glass to her lips, sipping it slightly. Orion's surprise was expected...most mage guilds she read don't usually bothered with. The sweet taste of the bourbon filled her lips as she mull how best to explain her answer.

"Yes, though not in that sense. It's just some more responsibility one would get to shoulder because of their aptitude."

Not wanting to elaborate further on her job, Kasumi was relieved to hear Orion changed the topic towards the deities. She was somewhat interested in it, especially considering how her own guild was directly linked with one. After taking another sip, she would put down the glass, trying to feign little interest in contrast to how she really felt.

"Perhaps. What can you tell about them?"

Orion Prima

Kasumi would give a non-comittal shrug upon Orion's inquiry about the nature of her guild so as to leave it up to his interpretation. She did wonder if Orion belonged to one himself. He looked moreso the vagabond type...what kind of guild would let him working jobs like recovering a pig after knowing his magical capability?

Their conversation drifted upon gods which Orion had met recently. One which his magic didn't work upon supposedly, surprising the female mage. Then again, when she think deeply about it they shouldn't have. Afterall if one were to study theocracy, there were many religions that were made up of a group of major gods leading younger ones. So it would certainly be more difficult to kill them compared to others.

"No, I can't say I have. There are books which mentioned about major and minor deities but they only touched it rather briefly. They didn't go into details on the difference of powers, behaviors or the like. They are deities afterall, meant to be beyond mortal understanding." she contributed before raising her glass for another sip.

"You speak as if you have just met one recently Mr Prima."

Orion Prima

The look of terror on Orion's face made Kasumi frowned slightly in response. The purplehead knew he was strong...stronger than some of the other mage she had grown close and hang out with. That he would speak about the being with such reverence...she can only imagine the battle that had unfold between the two.

"I would take your words with a grain of salt but I wouldn't say I outright disbelief you."she started as she contemplated on the new piece of information. If there was such a being, she would worry more about it's alignment and whether or not it would pose a danger to herself or the guild she belongs to.

"So you're saying you have met this Almighty Spirit yes? Aside from it's powers, what else did you figure out during your confrontation?" At this point of time, Kasumi didn't even bother to hide her fascination with the divinity in question. It may be, as Orion put it, the rambling of a drunk and while she doubted that she could do much about it directly she had her own connections. It's all about making sure that these beings would have something else to keep them in check...perhaps even arranging circumstances in the form of coincidence. That way she would be able to stop them without putting herself or her guild in the harms way.

Orion Prima

For the mystery connoisseur, it had always been her nature to not take things at face value. Of course, outright discounting something was not good either...so she had to maintain a perfect balance between the two. At this point of time, she saw no reason that Orion would have lied to her about the existence of this divinity so when Orion praised, she merely raised her shoulder in shrugging manner as if saying it was nothing.

Orion that continued by explaining further that his confrontation was less of a battle and moreso a one-side beat down. She had felt Orion's power for herself and figured at the very least the Lightning God Slayer would have given this deity a run for his money. But more worrying was the fact that this thing did not state it's intention whatsover, as if it had just thought it would be fun to play around with Orion. He then asked her to contemplate the possibility should such a being decided to attack them for whatever reason. It didn't take long for her to even think about the consequences.

"Many will die. Destruction will follow and there will be little we can do about it."she stated the answer in a cold matter of fact way. She was not the overly optimistic type and rather live in the cold hard reality then pretending to live in an imaginary one as doing so would not put turned them away. Yet it did not mean she would simply rolled over in the face of it. She would do whatever she can to avoid such conclusion.

"But that would only be so if we are unprepared. We'll need more information on this being. Whether it's good or evil. Every single information would help."
