Description
Ran walks in on a sandy brown desert fox as he closes a call on his datascroll. "YOU!!"

The fox looks up, his eyes lighting up as he sees the cat. "Ran! Darling! You've finally come to confess your lo—"

Ran quickly slaps the fox across the face. "Canillo! Find my idiot boyfriend before I tear your balls off and feed them to the Nightmares personally!"

"B-B-But!!" Illo stammers nervously.

"But… What…?" Ran coos in a girly voice. "I'm just a helpless little girl trying to find her big, strong man…"

Canillo coughs several times. "Umm… Umm… I've got my friend on the case right now… He'll bring Kiaran here as soon as he finds him…"

"And…" Ran bats her eyelashes at him. "Who is this… 'Friend' of yours, Canillo, baby…?"

The fox flicks his ears nervously, cringing at the venom practically gushing from every word. "He's… He's another assassin… By the name of… Drim—"

Ran flips the desk at the first syllable. This in turn sends Illo tumbling backward into the tent wall and out into the desert. Several bandit guards from the tent entrance run in to tend to the situation. Ran turns, her eyes glowing as brightly as her halo. "DO! NOT! INTERFERE!!"

Jacov cringes behind his metal pillar as the tent lights up in a giant electric ball. "Ehm… Mehby… Metal shield not best devense…" As expected, the lighting jumps to the pillar, turning it (and our friend Jacov) into one hell of a DreamKeeper lightningrod.

Isura backs into the door to his apartment on the Kojiki-Theophanies border and uses his tail to flick the lights on. The lone lunarous bulb flickers to life to reveal a neatly arranged den with a kitchenette off to the back. The assassin hangs his coat and walks into the room adjacent to the den off to the left, taking his shirt off as he does so.

"Grr… Damn friend didn't have anything on that soul reaping bastard either…" He says as he sinks into a warm bath. "Instead, the ass sends me to find him… Fuck…"

Suddenly, the doorbell rings and Isura's eye ridge cocks up a bit. "Hmm? Meh… They'll go away soon enough…" He brushes off the door and relaxes again into his bath.

A second time, the bell rings, this time with an accompaniment of a hard rapping upon the door. "Open up, Drimminor! This is the police!"

"Fuck…" Isura thinks to himself as he stands and dries off. "Fucking cops…" Walking to the door, he opens it and sees Ki dressed up in shock trooper armor. He immediately jumps back and draws a gun.

"Hold it, Puppetmaster." Says the dragon. "I'm not Kiaran. I am his older twin brother: Aaron."

Isura lowers his gun slowly, still apprehensive. "I've heard of you, Trooper… 'The Gilded Hyperion…' The Storm Trooper unmatched in his destructive but tactical power…"

Aaron smirks as he walks inside Isura's home. "You hear correctly. Though the nickname is a new one to me…"

"What do you want of me, Hyperion?" Isura scowls. "You have no business with my kind…"

Aaron turns and pats Isura on the head condescendingly. His hand is quickly swatted away. "Ahh… Fiesty… However, I am not here to mock you, I'm here about Kiaran."

"What of my next target?" Isura asks, still apprehensive.

"I know where he is…" Aaron whispers.

Ran quickly makes her way through the bandit camp and into a telepad station. Behind her, the charred remains of the command tent and several convulsing dreamkeepers; Jacov and Canillo included, lie in waste. She holds a ball of tightly packed lighting in her hand. "Send this pad to Talocan Port 2713. Now."

The operater doesn't hesitate and quickly taps the coordinates into his datascroll. Almost immediately a nearby pad beeps and Ran jumps upon it. "Go."

In an instant the pad disappears and reappears in a dark basement. Lighting up a ball of electricity, she walks up the stairs and into her and Ki's apartment. "I was wrong to tell that bonehead that a pad in the basement was useless… No matter…"

Walking upstairs, she goes into her room. A few minutes later, she comes out wearing her favorite chiton and her two hyper-conductive warfans. "XI!! ALERIO!! COME!!" She shouts angrily.

Both ryuu nekos quickly make their way to Ran. Xi from the kitchen downstairs, and Alerio from a small outcrop in the stairwell. Both take positions on each of Ran's shoulders and she sighs. "We gotta go find Kiaran, guys… He's gonna get his ass kicks so fucking hard…"

The two ryuus shiver at the anger in Ran's voice. But they stay silent as she walks out of the apartment. "If he's not working or at the bandit encampment… He's in Calypsa…" She mumbles. Getting her bearings, she quickly runs off for the nearest watercar station to the Calypsa District.
