Kane stood outside the tea house, looking at the people bustling in and out through his helmet.
How much longer will I have to wait? Perhaps I should move out of the city and go exploring myself!
Impatiently, he began to pace about the city, but keeping the location of the teahouse in his memory.

Kane halted just outside of the tea house.
This must all be in accordance with the Emperor's plan.
Bending down so that he could yell into the entrance,
"GREETINGS, INHABITANTS OF THIS INSTITUTE. I SEEK AN AUDIENCE WITH A PARTICULAR FELLOW NAMED 'HAYATE'! WILL THE SAID PERSON PLEASE SHOW HIMSELF OR SOMEONE LEAD ME TO HIM! THANK YOU!"
His booming voice shook the tiny teahouse ever so slightly. Straightening up, he folded his arms across his chest and waited for a response.

Machigai Teahouse Owner, Ayasaki Hayate[/u]
"Erm... Good afternoon sir. What would you like today?" Hayate asked as he appeared right behind Kane. Never mind that he was supposed to be inside the building. A salesman smile was spread across his face, as he wondered what was going to happen to his precious teahouse this time.
The last few times had seen the place nearly destroyed, up to and including a massive hole in the roof that he had just managed to fix thanks to Marisa. The customer in question did not look any less suspicious than the witch did, which of course, worried the extremely unlucky Hayate.

"Ah, yes. A certain Evangeline recommended you to me."
Kane turned around and kneeled on one knee, inspecting this character, 'Hayate'.
"I suppose you will be the spark in my journey of this 'Roundtable'. So, if you will, I would like to get started."
Remaining on one knee, Kane's imposing height still overshadowed that of Hayate. However, the encounter with the being 'Guardian 9' had shown that size did not matter in this particular plane of existence.
For the Emperor!

"Ah, Evangeline-san? I see, I see. Please come in then, I guess some explaining is in order."
Stepping into the teahouse, Hayate went to his assigned spot behind the counter and pulled out a tea set, carefully setting the kettle to boil.
"Could you tell me what you know about the Roundtable? I need somewhere to start, you see, but generally speaking, what everyone wants to do is to become the strongest there is, which would be the Overlord."

Bewildered, Kane followed Hayate inside, thoroughly destroying the door but managing to avoid the second floor by crouching.
Explaining? Didn't Evangeline do that already?
He watched as Hayate pulled out the teapot. "What is that?" He inquired. "There is no need for niceties, please direct me along the right path as soon as possible."
I wonder how difficult it would be to become a Knight?
Looking down, he noticed a hatch in his thigh armor. Popping it open, he found a gun in it.
Ah! My bolter! I was wondering where it went!
Inspecting it, it had suffered a few scratches but otherwise it was in working condition. In the same compartment he found two magazines.
Not much, I'll save it for when it's useful.
He stowed it away and turned his attention to Hayate.
[OoC: A bolter is a stockless assault rifle that can be easily used by Marines due to their power armor. It fires heavy .75 rounds that can easily rip humanoid targets apart. The rounds are self propelled and detonate after impact, making it sort of like a rapid fire mini RPG launcher. Kane is not very accurate with his weapon, since he prefers melee combat. His accuracy rating is in the range of 60-70%.]

Machigai Teahouse, Ayasaki Hayate[/u]
"This? This is a teapot of course. Would you like some tea?" Hayate explained as he picked out some tea leaves and dropped them into the pot, sending the aroma of tea wafting through the tea house.
Tea was always good. It was relaxing, and relaxing was important when his door had just been shattered by a person walking in.
"You see, normally people tend to test the waters before they try anything particularly dangerous, like fighting Knights. Those below 90 are generally not too ridiculous when it comes to their power, but they are still much stronger than most people would give them credit for. So you would probably want to find some errands to run to make yourself stronger before you give the 100th Knight a go, especially since the position changed hands not too long ago."

Kane sniffed at the scent of tea.
"I suppose I could have some," he said rather awkwardly. After all, he had never really experienced civilities before.
I can't stand this waste of time much longer!
He released the seals on his helmet vis his suit's neuroimplants synchronised with his brain. The seals popped and he reached up, removing the heavy piece of armor and setting it on his knee with much care.
Reaching for a cup, he was careful not to apply even the tiniest of pressures as he was well aware that his gauntlets were still on. Taking a sip, he commented, "Tastes very much like water to me, but enough talk. Strengthen myself, you say? I will do it, in the name of the Emperor. My suit can easily withstand nuclear radiation, and a large variety of other environs. What will you have me do, Mr Hayate? Or is there somebody else that I can approach?"
Onwards, for Honor and Glory!

Teahouse Owner - Ayasaki Hayate
"Nuclear environs, eh...?"
Hayate pulled out a small portable device and started fiddling with it.
"Hmm... Ah, I've got something. It's a request by the Coalition of Governments down over in New Manhattan. 'Attention: Looking for four-metre-high two-point-five-meter wide power-armored nuclear-resistant soldiers with a penchant for destruction. Preferably male.'"
Hayate looked at Kane. He looked back at the PDA.
"Seems like the perfect job for you."
In many, many ways.
"For enquiries, please go to the CoG Recon Headquarters in New Manhattan."
Hayate set down the PDA.
"Well, there you have it. It's a small job, but it's suitable for you. You can get there by... cargo train, I guess. You wanna take it?"

"Absolutely. Thank you for your assistance."
With that, Kane carefully turned around, before duck walking to the exit. Once outside, he straightened, took one last look at the teahouse, and left for New Manhattan.

And thus, Ariela followed Daisuke into the Tea House. Along the way, they saw huge footprints on the grass.
"KYA~! ... W....What's that???!!!~~~"
Her walkie talkie's yellow signal flashed.
"SOMEONE REALLY MACHO MUST HAD BEEN HERE DAYS AGO! I BET HE IS ON PAR WITH THE LEGENDARY KING OF WIND CHILDREN, CHO JONATHAN!"
">.<~ I'm scared~, daisuke..."
Ariela quickly proceeded to hide behind daisuke, and prompt him to lead the way into the teahouse. She has a fear of men to a certain extent, particularly those who are not ordinary humans and are thus immune to her charm.
">.<~ I'm quite shy too~, mind if you... help do the talking?"
"NOW, WHY NOT LET- *switches off walkie talkie*

Daisuke glared at Ariela, who was cowering behind him, but soon evaluated that his means of attempting to console her would not work. He sighed and agreed to do the talking.
He led Ariela into the bar, pulled up a seat at the bar, and beckoned over the shopkeeper.
"...May I know who was here recently, and what he went off for?" he asked.
