Yuki was going to ask if it was wise to be juggling weapons of mass destruction around, but eventually decided that Marisa knew what she was doing, even if she somehow had the urge to play with bombs that could kill off the entirety of New Orleania.
Actually, they would probably destroy about fifty metres worth of stuff before a dozen high ranking Knights popped over and stopped the lasers from going any further or something like that. After hearing about the source of the ice outside, Yuki hardly doubted that they could not do something like that. It was absurd, but that was the way of the strongest people in the world. It took absurd people to have absurd power after all, or something like that.
Taking the slip of paper, Yuki skimmed through the list and sighed. Most of these were incredibly powerful companies armed with their own armed forces and whatnot, and it was not as though Yuki could simply go up to their front desk and ask if they employed any thieves recently. He would probably have to do some sneaking to get the job done then, but he was completely screwed if he messed this up. He could take any normal soldier in a fight, but a dozen of them fully armed was something slightly beyond him at the moment.
"So, Marisa, is there anything you can give to help me or something? Because this is pretty difficult stuff..."

Machigai Tea House Owner and 95th Knight, Ayasaki Hayate
"..."
Hayate had eyes for nothing but the large, gaping hole in the roof.
But business still has to go on, Hayate. Snap out of it.
Eh? My subconscious talks directly to me now...?
JUST SNAP OUT OF IT.
All of a sudden, Hayate snapped, and spun and landed face down on the floor.
"Oh, welcome." Hayate said to the new person as has picked himself up. "Yes, there's food and lodging here, but I'm afraid there's a bit of problem with the 'shelter' aspect at the moment..."
Kirisame Magic Shop Owner, Kirisame Marisa
"Oh, I'll go with you to retrieves it ze~, and I'll bring some helps if you help me figure out which of them tooks it first. I'm not good with the investigations aspect of things, but I sure can help with the fighting."
She pointed at some grey dust on the floor.
"That powder thing keeps dropping offs the guy everytime I attacks him. I thinks it may help you ze~."

"It's alright. I'm no stranger to dubious residences, and I'm not going to give a good night's sleep up. How much would it cost for a meal and a night's rest? I'll just show myself upstairs first, I'll pay you when I come down later to eat."
Heading up the stairs, Venser headed for a room that had been relatively undamaged by the blast and dropped onto the bed, pausing only to take off his robe and fold it over a chair.
He was asleep before his head hit the pillow.

"nia~~~... here it is~, a teahouse~... eh, is this an inn?~"
"I DON'T THINK SO, SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED HERE RECENTLY. IT LOOKS FINE FOR REFRESHMENTS MEANWHILE." -P
">.< owww~, now I'll wait for more help?~"
"NO. Instead, we need a person who can help clarify the entire back story!" -P
"huh?~"
"I think I heard people mention about 'round table' along the way... MUST BE PLOT ELEMENT!" -P
"I just want to walk around for the time being~, then~"
"GOOD LUCK. YOU WILL GET LOST. BUT YOU *MIGHT!* find an opponent!" -P
"I need someone to explain how battle works, too~"
"YOU CAN'T FIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE." -P
"But I can overload people with my cuteness~..."
.... a while later ....
">.< Shall I head for the streets instead~"
"GREAT. HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU LEVEL UP... YOU CAN'T EVEN SCRATCH A FLY AT LEVEL 1..." -P
"I did hear something about a 'tiger dojo'~ somewhere~"
"But where is it?~ XD"
"YOU'LL PROBABLY BE GOING, THATS NO PLACE FOR A CUTE GIRL!" -P

Yuki nodded and swept the dust into a bag he had produced out of nowhere, and held it up to the light. It was an important clue to the thief's identity, but he had no idea where to begin. All he could know was that he doubted that the space-faring, laser shooting navies were unlikely to drop dust everywhere they went. Certainly, it went against the image of a powersuited superhuman to have such a thing dropping wherever they went.
"I'll start from the top of the list then. Where's the Empire of the Sun's army anyway?"

Daisuke had been tagging along with the new girl, listening in on the dialogue.
Looks like this person isn't very useful for getting information...
But a Tiger Dojo? Sounds like a good place to start.
He leaned over to the girl.
"...I think I know where to go. Follow me if you want to."

Sometimes, when you sleep, you awaken peacefully from a dream and forget all about it withing seconds of opening your eyes.
This wasn't one of those times for Venser.
God, the pain.
Sitting bolt upright in the bed, he clutched at his right eye as though it were aflame. Ever since he'd inscribed the seal into his eye, ætherforce had been seeping into his subconscious inexorably, like a steady stream of water onto a book. Sooner or later, the contents therein would be washed away, and then its very form would collapse. He had to stop the destabilization as soon as possible.
And what was with that dream? It had been so realistic that even after waking he still vividly remembered it. It was almost as if he'd been back at the Academy, facing Gestalt again. True enough, that scene was drawn from one of his memories, which might explain why it felt so real.
It's spreading through my mind now. Not a good sign.
Waiting for the pain to subside, as it always did eventually, he traced sigils of reinforcement onto the area around his eye, then infused them with enough mana to keep the rampant force within himself still.
I can only buy so much time before it breaks free. Still, no use brooding over death without acting to avoid it. Since arriving here it's the first outbreak I've experienced, which is quite a positive trend. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that I've increased in power since I came here.
It was an encouraging thought. Maybe if he became powerful enough, he would be able to master the energy within rather than having it destroy him.
I should probably go down and pay the innkeeper...and grab a meal while I'm at it. I can't remember when I last ate.
Gathering his belongings, he headed down the stairs and addressed Hayate, wallet at the ready.
"Could I get that meal now?"

Ayasaki Hayate
"Ah, hello there, Venser."
Hayate started absently pouring stuff into a pot.
"What would you like to eat?"
Kirisame Marisa
"The Empire, ehs~? You has to go to New Technia, they've got a branch there, and yous can always use the Chronosphere to takes you to the main headquarters~ Buts, don't yous think you should checks the dust first or something? After all, normal peoples don't drop dust that appears out of nowhere ze~."

Casting a sidelong glance towards the little witch, Venser offhandedly replied Hayate's query.
"Some soup and bread would do nicely, thank you."
She seemed to be giving directions to another patron of the teahouse, conveniently disregarding the immense property damage that she'd done to the building earlier. Leaving Hayate to his tasks, Venser listened in on the ongoing conversation between Marisa and her audience.

Constantine walked in and heard something about a world-ending bomb.
"What?! Okay, this is interesting. I should probably listen to this..."
He placed his back to the wall outside and tried not to be noticed. A world-ending bomb was something VERY good to have, and he didn't want to lose his opportunity to study how it worked. If he could just get his hands on the bomb...
"*YAWN* Oh great. I'm tired. Never mind, I can always do this."
With the small amount of MP he had left, he built a tiny sound recorder and walked in. Unnoticeably, he dropped the little device on the floor and yawned.
"I need a room, please."

Ayasaki Hayate
"Soup and bread it is, then." Hayate started throwing mushrooms and cream into a pot and flourishing flour into a baking pan.
"Ah, welcome. Mr... Constantine, was it?"
Hayate plucked a room key off the rack and handed it to Constantine.
"Please, do make yourself at home as best as you can while someone repairs the roof."
He turned back to his pot.
Kirisame Marisa
"So, I thinks you should go inspects the dust or somethings. I have this feeling its not normal dusts. Maybe a microscopes or something ze~."
She stretched her finger out, and nonchalantly fired a beam of light no more than 5mm in diameter across the teahouse.
A tiny pop was heard as the sound recorder imploded from the heat. Marisa turned her eyes toward the person who had just requested a room.
"I donts want anyones recordings this. I've got my eye on ya. You're suspicious ze~."

Damn. She saw through it.
"Did that fall off me? It must have been put there by someone who wanted to spy on me. Or maybe it's because I reconstructed my armour recently with scrap metal. That might have stuck to it. Thanks for getting rid of it!"
I need something new... And I wasted my energy.
As soon as he was in the room, his spirits began talking.
That was SO obvious. She works with dangerous materials that could destroy the world. She HAS to be observant. Stupid.
"I should rest. I don't have enough energy for Iron Dust, but I should have enough to do this. Ultravision, on, video record mode. She shouldn't be able to detect this. It doesn't emit any sort of rays."
Constantine placed his glasses facing the floor in the direction of Marisa and company, and went to sleep after laying razor wire across the door just in case.

Kirisame Marisa
Marisa sighed.
"Some peoples just don't learn, ze~."
Marisa meant it when she said she would "keep an eye" on Constantine. A small ball of magic floated invisibly along the second-storey corridor, and watched as Constantine placed the glasses on the floor. Needless to say, even if it didn't emit any form of energy, it was still extremely suspicious the way he had placed them.
"Well, there we go then. Hayate, sorry but you'll have to repair another chunk of the roof ze~"
Hayate, suddenly hearing his name being called, looked up in surprise, then in shock.
"Wait, what?!"
Marisa stood at her chair, hand pointed toward the ceiling. A small octagonal wooden block was in her palm.
"MASTER SPARK!"
----------------- Constantine KO.

"I WANNA PLAY!"
The blood once again drained out of Constantine's body. Valentine was very happy.
"Hey, weird lady. You look fun. Wanna play? Oh, wait, you're too strong. Hey, I know. I can play with that mysterious armoured guy over there!"
The blood coalesced into a large, stitched-together teddy bear. Valentine grinned, and blood began to flow out of the bear's mouth.
"WHO WANTS A HUG? Oh wait, Bro needs shielding. DONE!"
It formed a large, scab-like cocoon emitting potent dark energy around Constantine.
"Where was I? OH YEAH! FREE HUGS! GET YOUR FREE HUGS!"
The bear then charged towards Yuki, the weakest enemy, its arms outstretched and prepared to crush him.
"TEEHEEHEEHEEHEE! SPREAD THE LOVE!"

Sol, once directly outside of the teahouse, sensed that there was something amissed inside.
'!?, something with an evil aura is near..and it's coming from the teahouse?'
Sol pondered over this for awhile...
'...Wait a minute..this isn't time to think. Better save Hayate so I can get free stuffs'
Sol materialized a large lance and threw it into the teahouse, hoping it'll pierce whatever is emitting the evil aura inside.

"Good point, I should really go check the dust out. And I think I know where to get a microscope too. Still, there's really no doubt that one of those groups are behind this."
Yuki shrugged and turned to leave when a giant blood bear rushed at him from the second hole in the roof. It was a good thing that the bear was not tremendously quick in any way, or Yuki would have been squished by what was essentially a children's toy. Made of blood, but those were details, and details got in the way of things.
"Weight reduction set to absolute minimum, Uchiha ultimate technique, Art of Run."
Reducing the effects of gravity upon himself, Yuki dashed out of the Teahouse as fast as he could. Which was pretty damn fast, since he was essentially only half his usual weight with the help of his magic.

Of course, I need your crimson love spread all over me.
"Spread; Flans Paries Venti Vertentis."
Stale typhoon winds flooded the room, and wrapped the bear in an invisible tendril-motion.
"I should have you hot, rather than scrambled, shouldn't I."

[OoC Valentine has superspeed, ski. Never mind.]
"AWW, YOU HUGGED ME! HOW NICE. I LOVE YOU TOO!"
Valentine's dark aura intensified. Then she saw the lance coming at her.
"BLOOD CREATION: MEAT SHIELD!"
A large wall of living flesh appeared, and flew towards the lance. Valentine giggled.
"I JUST WANNA PLAY! DON'T BE SO MEAN!"
It seemed to suck the light out of the very area, growing bigger and stronger as more light was absorbed. Its dark aura started to give off a really nasty smell of iron and blood.
"HEY, I KNOW! WHY NOT YOU ALL DANCE! IT'LL BE MORE FUN THAT WAY."
The darkness expanded black tentacles, reaching for Tsubasa and Sol.

Sierra, still floating in a trance, was enjoying the feeling of getting a piggyback ride (thanks to leeching off someone's magic).
When she saw that she was nearing the Tea House, where everyone else always seemed to congregate, she detached herself from her host and floated as a solitary blue ball for a while.
There was trouble at the Tea House, it seemed, and she had to reconstruct her vessel. However, the Undine did not have time to shift her magic when another source of magic zoomed by, running away from the teahouse. Sierra hadn't had time to deactivate the sticky property of her magic, so she was swept along with this person as well.
Noooo!! I'm stuck~[/b]
The spirits looked at their Guardian Undine in disbelief. The great overseer of the Sea of Orlania was reduced to a tiny glowing ball, stuck to the magic of a human named Yuki.

Sol morph into his demon form. He then use telekinesis to severe the the tentacles heading his way and revert them back to darkness which then crept and engulf certain parts of his body like warpaint.
"Thanks for the darkness"
Sol created a spike ball and threw it at the abomination. He then created a shield and block himself from the incoming shards that will appear when the ball explode.
(OoC: Feyblade mode anyone? >_>)

Kamin was making her way back to the teahouse when she, once again, a massive source of concentrated light energy shooting straight into the sky.
"Ah, something's happened."
Suddenly, a guy zoomed past, someone she had never seen before, but nonetheless probably someone new.
Something's happening, I guess...
Then, she noticed the small blue ball trailing after the person.
"Ah... Sierra... I wonder where she's go- OH WAIT!"
Taking off, Kamin ran after the person, spreading her wings and taking the path as the crow flew.
"Wait! There's something I need to talk to you about...!"

Kirisame Marisa
"Ooh, what a pain ze~."
Marisa sat where she was on the chair, nonchalantly sipping tea. She put down the cup.
"Oh, Hayate, you wants me to deals with thats for you ze~? Because I don't thinks it's very good for customers, ze~."
Hayate, who was currently resting resignedly on the edge of the kitchen section of the counter, nodded wearily.
"Well, here I go then~!"
Marisa hopped off the chair, and pulled up her broom.
"HEY, GIANT TEDDY-KUN!"
Marisa was running several multicolored balls through her hands.
"Let's play, ze~!"
In an instant, the area in front of Marisa filled with dozens of magic circles. An instant surge in magical power went around the area that could be felt by mages up to five kilometres away.
Hayate lifted a weary finger. "Take it outside..."
"Oh well, can't be helped ze~."
Marisa hopped on her broom, and grabbing the giant teddy bear by one of its appendages Marisa hurled it out the front door.

"Eh, 'Noooo! I'm stuck!'? Where the heck did that come from?"
Yuki looked around him, trying to figure out where the sound had come from. He did not have to look far, since it did not exactly take a genius to realise that he had a blue spirit ball floating after him, stuck to his magic for some reason or another.
"Why are all these things happening to me? Oh, wait..."
He looked up, and saw a girl flying towards him, and sighed. This was getting ridiculous. Infiltrating an army was difficult work as it was, but having random spirits and winged girls following after him was just plain nasty.
"Catch up! You don't want to get caught in the blast when Marisa starts fighting!"
Yuki sped up, increasing the intensity of his magic, reducing his weight even further.

Valentine slammed into a wall. Then, she felt something she hadn't felt in a long time. Pain.
"OWWWWW! THAT HURT!"
A portion of her bloody skin scabbed over and fell off.
"I HATE YOU! I'M NOT PLAYING ANY MORE!"
The teddy's eyes glowed red. Brilliant red.
You've been out too long. His life energy can't support you. Be careful, Valentine. You're not invincible any more.
"I DON'T CARE!"
Valentine pulled in all the dark energy from the shadows she could find.
"HEY, MISS SUNSHINE! TAKE THIS! CORRUPTED BLOOD!"
The teddy spewed a huge amount of dark, magic-laden blood at Marisa. Some splattered on the ground, and the ground began to crumble. The air itself tunred red from the huge amount of blood droplets present. Anybody breathing it in would be hurt. If it hit, the concentrated dark power would cause highly accelerated aging and illness. Painful.
[Valentine is now damageable. Sorry for any godmoding.]

Sierra, who had frantically been trying to steady her magic flow (so she could disentangle hers from Yuki's), lost her concentration when his magic increased.
..??!! Wh- No-[/b]
However, instead of being left behind herself, the magic attracted Sierra even more. Thankfully, she was recovering her own mana, so her blue glow was steadily disappearing--becoming less apparent. She saw Kamin following, but being rapidly left behind by Yuki's skill.
Where is Yuki going? Why are you running? Is it because of Kamin? But she wouldn't...[/b]
She was barely able to transmit coherently, however, since she was basically riding a human rollercoaster. She missed her piggyback ride.
;_;
... The spirits could only watch helplessly, knowing how Sierra failed at magic while moving at high speeds. She wasn't used to such field conditions.
