"No but they should have given you a key after the initiation. If you kindly produce it, I'd be able to guide you there personally."
Technically it was not her job to do this but at this point in time but she knew the building well enough that she could make an educated guess on where her room would be just by looking at the numbers engraved on the key. As she waited for Novey to produce the key, she began to study her further. The way she carried herself reminds her of those who were born in a comfortable lifestyle, from her choice of dress to the manner in which she spoke. Even more so when November offered the back of her hand for her to kiss.
Instead of accepting the gesture, Kasumi would take the hand and pulled November close to deliver a kiss on both sides of her cheek. According to the book she read, such gesture were often associated with the middle and upper class. The latter of which she had assumed to be the social standing of the petite girl that stood before her.
"Nay, only the ones the Guild Mistress trusted with. You would still have to introduce yourself to others."she replied to her second inquiry, the smile had not left her face. She wanted November to feel welcomed as she was when she first joined the guild hence her desire to help her out.

Justice made a proposal to analyzed the perfume personally, once which Kasumi was more than eager to indulge in as her own magic was a bit lacking in that regard. The second proposal she regarded with caution, as the their target had shown prowess in charm magic by planting a subtle suggestion on the boy earlier.
"I'm all for it Anego. The more we knew about our target, the more prepared we would be in whatever he may have up his sleeve."
Thanks to the descriptions given by their men it wasn't too hard for them track down the female employees under Diamond's employment. Unlike most vendors, they lacked a proper stall to themselves so it was difficult to spot them at first. They did however possessed a violet flower on their dress allowing for easy identification. Once they had spotted one, Kasumi would make her way towards the girl as quick as she without arousing suspicion. Sure enough, the employee flagged them down to offer the tiny glass bottle of perfume containing a purple liquid inside.
"Hello Misses~ Would you like to have a free sample of our perfume? I assure you, the fragrance is quite breathtaking. And of course we only used all natural ingredients."
Should Justice study the bottle with her analysis magic closely, she would notice that the perfume itself contained a small trace of hallucinogen. Said agent were actually properties of the flowers essence involved in the making of the perfume. A mere whiff of the smell was enough to render one suggestible even to the weakest of suggestion, amplifying the effect of charm spell against them.

Test of Courage[Event/Closed]
Oct 23, 2019 14:52:26 GMT
edited on Oct 23, 2019 15:10:06 GMT by Kasumi Ito
For one of weak heart the sight of specters surround them from all side like wolves would have probably rendered them unconscious if not pissing their pants. Not Berry however, she laughed in the face of such adversity. A transformation took place before her illuminating the room completely with green light. Shielding her eyes from the radiant light at first, they widen at the sight of Berry's change of outfit.
Though vastly outnumbered, Berry cut through the opposition as easily as scissors through cloth. Though they were supposed to lack sense of fear and pain, howl of agony escaped from the wraiths lips as the scythe shredded through them. Not only that she inhaled every single bit of the spectral remaint directly into herself. Suffice to say, the spectacle was enough to send the purplette on a full throttle in highway to pleasure.
Perhaps I should try and bring a spare next time.
Breathing hard, Kasumi would rose from the floor slowly. It was quite hard to stand when one is weak in the knees, but somehow she managed to pull it off. There was much of the house to explore and the test of courage can only be considered finished once they have visited them all. Even if it was just a mere formality at this point. Taking a moment to regain her composure, Kasumi would nod towards Berry after she felt she was ready.
"Mmm, that was quite amazing Berry. So how do they taste like? And that's a very cute dress you have."she asked, not bothering to hide the infatuation she felt behind such outfit. Were she not more reserved, she would have gushed all over appearance and what just happened.

Lost & Found [Closed, Mission]
Oct 23, 2019 13:24:24 GMT

The Hobgoblin stood a few feet in front of her. In it's hand, it was carrying a rusty shortsword which was trickling with blood. Glaring at the assassin that stood before her, it let out a guttural. Did it understand her words? She had never tried to speak with one before and this particular creature wasn't exactly in diplomatic mood either. It was injured, it was hungry and most of all it was angry. Letting out a howl of anger upon provocation, it would charged straight towards Kasumi.
A flash of steel followed meant to decapitate the purplette in one swing. But the rusty blade failed to meet it's mark, shaving only her afterimage. The Assassin immediately pivot around the hobgoblin while gripping the hobgoblin's sword hand to use the momentum of the creature's swing against it and swiftly switched their position around and giving Natalie the opening she needed to slip past. Once she had confirmed the healer was behind her with the hunter, she would let out a sharp kiai before opening up on a combination of strikes and kicks to drive it away from them.
The hunter watched them with wide eyed, as he could not believe his luck that someone heard his cry for help. He was about to express his feeling of gratitude when Natalie covered his mouth as she began healing his wounds. Without medicine to dull his pain, he screamed through her palm as he endured the healing process by the girl. By the time it was over the hunter had fallen unconscious from the shock of the pain. Though he was rendered unconscious he would still live from the experience, his wounds having properly closed and healed under Natalie's care.
A metallic clang struck against the wall of the cave and soon a blade filled with blood emerged. But instead of the hobgoblin, the hand that held the handle of the shortsword belongs to the Assassin. It did not look like she was doing intentionally however, giving their surrounding a once over before she knelt down towards the unconscious hunter. His face and attire certainly matched the description given by the villager. And though she was lacking in medical art, she could see that the hunter was breathing still and felt that was enough for her.
"Well done Natalie. Once you felt he is save to move, let me know so I can carry him out of here."she stated, her gaze migrating towards the mouth of the cave. It was still pouring outside though to a much lesser extent than when they had come in first.
"Though if you wish to wait for the rain to stop first, I would not be opposed either."

Kasumi only gave her a wry smile in response to her desire not to shirk from the blame. Most people would have been more than happy to be excluded from the potential punishment that awaits. Still, it was enough to let her know that Cheshire was someone she could always count on to have her back. The inquiry on her state of health caught her by surprise but she quickly gave her signature smile of reassurance to dispel her worries.
"I am. My adrenaline just wore off I think. I'm not against that offer however."
The images that she saw did bother her a bit but she didn't feel now was the right time to mention it. Leading the mutant all the way to the office, she would wait for Cheshire to knock on the door before she carried the unconscious mutant inside. While Cheshire addressed the Godfather with familiarity, Kasumi would bow her head slightly towards AJ in response. She would then set up the mutant so as to face the godfather, her mind pondering whether she should release his cuffs. However Cheshire's stomach made it's desire known without any regard of the situation. A sighed escape her lips as she turned around to face her friend.
"Good grief, can you at least wait until we debrief our Godfather of the situation?"
The last bit of Cheshire's word did get her rather curious. She would ask more detail on that but once again but once more she decided to postpone such questions for later. Preferably after making sure the mutant they had brought here would not wake up and go on an uncontrollable rampage.

Once Cheshire gave her assurance, Kasumi would gave her a slight nod. The whole journey back was spent in silent as she contemplate over the result of the mission. When she had heard the word tech, she had assumed it would be some sort of contraption. But even after a thorough exhaustive search of the place the only other thing they manage to recover was a bunch of test tubes. Unless the bandits intended to reproduce the serum somehow, she highly doubted the bandits could do much with a bunch of shiny liquid containers.
Just what was in that serum?
The change that occurred to B.I.G was quite drastic. It wasn't like a glamor spell where it changed one's physical appearance by forming an illusion around them. He was biologically altered, flesh and blood to turn into the being he was right now. Not only that, it amplified his magic multifold. The benefits of such serum to Odin's Spear would have been...
A pang of pain assaulted her head, as multiple image flashed through her head at once. A lot of them had to do with experiments of sorts but for the life of her, she couldn't remember it happened. Though she saw herself in some of the images it felt as if she was peering through a stranger's memory. The flash lasted only for a few seconds though it was mentally taxing enough to cause her to breathe heavily.
Fortunately, the trip soon ended with Cheshire strapping shadow cuffs onto B.I.G. The catgirl questioned her about the decision they made in handing him over as the proof of their result but what else could they do? Show a bunch of empty tubes? Though she felt tired from the whole ordeal, she gave Cheshire a reassuring smile even as she lifted the mutant once more.
"It will be fine. If anyone ask, I'll take the responsibility okay?"

Once Cheshire had secured the rest of what's needed in the place, Kasumi would nod towards her and followed from behind. Thankfully the trip back toward the truck was less eventful, either they have killed all the workers in this lab or that the survivors have fled. She couldn't care less which one it was at this point. That they didn't bother to keep any written record on the drug was annoying, it would definitely mean more work for the egghead at the labs. Once they arrived near the vehicle, Kasumi would load the mutant on top of the tonneau.
"Whatever happens, make sure to keep your eyes on the road Chesh."
There was a chance that B.I.G may wake up along the journey. Should that happen, Kasumi would try and bring it back down under but she wanted to make sure her partner for the mission don't freak out when that happen. It would be a lot harder if she had to worry about her partner losing control of the vehicle, the last thing she wanted was for them was to crash into something. Given how remote this place was, it would also be difficult to attempt to hitch hike onto another passing vehicle.

Picking herself up from the ground, Kasumi was the first to approach the fallen mutant. Her first order of business was to check if he really was playing possum, by checking his breathe. Once she was satisfied, she'd give Cheshire a once over to assess her condition. As the girl herself didn't seem to be injured, she would wrap B.I.G's arm around her shoulder and lift him off the floor. Thanks to her augmentation magic, despite his size, it would feel as if she's lifting about as much as a couple bags of rice.
"We'll bring him to Asgard with us by truck. Think you can drive for us while I keep him restrained?"
Carrying him like this left her at a disadvantage however. Strong as she was, even she would find it difficult to fight while carrying the mutant on her back. Not to mention she would be completely encumbered and unable to carry anymore items they need to secure from this laboratory.
"Grab whatever you need from here first and then take point. I rather not make a second trip between here and the truck."

A small smile formed on her lips as the godfather gave her approval of the nickname she chose. Kasumi half expected them to ask what she meant but it appeared that she didn't need to. Once the godfather acknowledged the need to move on to the address in question, the self-styled detective would once more lead the way to the perfume shop.
Along the way, the men who she had sent ahead to confirm the shop and the mage in question contacted them via radio. Apparently Mr Diamond had been seen making his rounds in the area the last few weeks offering his perfumes for sale. One of the local populace had even confirmed his presence near the shop in question. They also informed her that in order to promote his shop even further he had even sent his female employees to offer free samples of the perfume he's selling so as to attract more customers. A few samples had been secured but a quick investigation revealed it was not harmful, at least not in an immediate or direct way. They would need to send it to the lab for more detailed analysis however.
"Hm, I would have thought the perfume he sold was essential to his plan...perhaps the shop is just a front after all?"
The question cause her to crease her brow slightly but her pace did not slow down as they entered the market. Here, various shops have sprung out and offered all sorts of products either produced locally or bought from neighboring settlements. And though some of the products offered do attract her attention, the desire to see the mystery reached a conclusion overwhelmed any impulse purchase she felt while navigating through the crowd.

Kasumi's heart raced slightly as she noticed the creature glided ever closer to her face. The feeling of dread made her body felt like lead, sluggish and not very responsive to the wraith's advance. Bony hands reached out for her face as it leaned forward, revealing decayed looking corpse underneath the hood.
However the creature didn't manage to claim her lips. Instead it was as if time had frozen as the creature stopped moving though the bead of cold sweat dripping down her forehead immediately told her such was not the case. In the corner of her eyes, she observed Berry turned into a similar but bigger specter before approaching them. Emitting a tidal wave of emotion of not only dread but also anger among others, it completely washed away the dread she felt from the creature. As if released from her spell, the purplette found her body relieved of the weight that slowed her down as she watched Berry devoured the shade completely. Her knees felt weak from the sight as she find herself struggling to stand on the floor.
But the colour of emotions that painted her face was not one of fear but one of carnal desire. The way that Berry sunk her fang into the creature and absorb into herself sparked the flame within her. Her breathing grew ragged as if she had just ran a marathon. Swallowing, she barely registered that there were other spectres which decided to join them, surrounding the duo from all sides. Did they detect that Berry was a threat? Or did they sensed the strong positive emotion she was emitting from the sight of Berry devouring the other? Regardless of which one it was, her heart beats in excitement even as the specter swooped in towards them from all direction.

"Think of them as a minor demon. They may do nasty things to you if you are not careful."
Even as she spoke, Kasumi took a moment to study the footprints once more. That there was only one belonging to the hobgoblin gave them something to hope for. Any more and their job would have switched immediately to deceased identification. While some client would be understanding enough to give compensation for their effort, normally it would mean their mission is a complete failure. Which was of course something she rather avoided at all cost.
"Perhaps not. Our target is a hunter."
Just then, they would hear a cry for help from within the cave. It prompted the purplette to spring immediately into action as she closed the umbrella and darted inside. She had hoped that the cry would urge Natalie to follow closely as well, though she kept her pace at a rate which Natalie should be able to follow still. Only when she stumbled upon the owner of said tracks that she stopped in her track. In front of her stood a green rough-skinned broad shouldered humanoid the size of man, dressed in only loincloth. It held a rusty sword in it's hand, the tip of which was bleeding slightly. A couple of arrow shafts could be seen sticking out of it's body and it seem to be grimacing slightly from the pain.
Meanwhile, the hunter they meant to rescue laid on the ground not too far from where the hobgoblin was. Blood had began to spilled from laceration wound across the chest. On the floor not too far from the hunter was a bow which looked as if it had been snapped into two. Immediately Kasumi take her combat stance as she make a beckoning motion to the hobgoblin. Assuming that the healer had been following closely from behind, she gave her a slight nod.
"I got this. Take care of the hunter Natalie."
With that Kasumi would attempt to lure the hobgoblin away from the duo so as not to let them get caught in their battle. There was nothing the purplette could do about the injury the hunter was afflicted with, so she just needed to distract the creature enough to let Natalie do her job.

The purplette announcement of their arrival was unanswered. Well that was rather expected, she highly doubted the wraiths that dwell within are the polite sorts. The air did feel rather chilly to her all of a sudden and the hair on the neck of her back rises. She could feel multiple gaze on them, though trying to pinpoint the source visually prove to be an arduous task. Even moreso when she had to deal with the pungent smell of mildew and mould as they entered the hallway.
Moving stealthily throughout the house was also another challenge presented to them or rather herself. The rotten floorboard magnified the sound made by her footsteps she may as well wear neon green light signs pointing at herself saying fleshbag here. There was a knocking sound on one of the wall which attracted her attention but nothing safe a water stained painting and rotten curtain greeted her vision. Unnoticed to her but easily felt by the ghost slayer, the shades moves invisibly through the empty house with one of them approaching the purplette from behind.
A sense of dread filled the air as the space behind her shimmered slightly as a sinister spectral figure robed in darkness. It wasn't until the last second that the purplette whirled around as her instinct kicked in. Gliding towards her without a sound, the girl could not help but swallowed as she felt dread. It was as if the positive emotion she felt siphoned away from her as the spectral shadow leaned in to kiss her.

Noticing the hunger look on Berry's eyes, Kasumi chuckled in return. Though she had harbor doubts about the charm itself, it seems that choosing a haunted house was indeed the right choice for this tryst. She had personally make sure that the object in question do not possess immediate malicious effects on human or spirits. As nothing happened thus far to either Berry nor herself, she had assume that the charm was actually harmless and perhaps completely useless save for decoration.
Following her from behind, Kasumi began to focus on the building in question. Layers of dust covered what remained of the cracked glass window of the building. She also noticed that the paint were peeling from the crumbling walls and now that they were closer to the main entrance, it was obvious that the cracked windows were not the only one covered with dust. In fact it was almost everywhere, that the girl let out a tiny sneeze before she reached out for handkerchief and to wipe her nose.
Now that they were in front of the door, Kasumi reached for the door knob and pushed it open. It moaned under her effort and moved a little too slow for her liking, mostly because the door had grown moldy and soft with water neglect. She was tempted to just force it open but with her strength, that may actually knock the door off it's hinges. Now that they were inside, the sight of cobwebs and dust bunnies greeted them with the floor creaking under her feet.
"Pardon the intrusion~"
