Thread: Urban Rivals

"Auria." said Dawn. "Why do we all have the weird abilities we have?" she asked.

The arrow did nothing to the illusion ((and Dawn couldn't see it)).
Why doesn't this person say something?! I know she can see it!!
Sarah fell to her knees and the shadow disappeared.
"C-Come on... Tell me why we're here, or I'll summon another Specter!!" At this point Sarah was lying. She just wanted answers. "It'll be a much stronger one this time! And nobody can touch it... though it can get you!"
She didn't even know why she wanted to know why they were here. All she wanted were answers... but... not to this. She wanted answers to... to...
"Just tell me!!" She yelled at Auria.

Auria pushed up her glasses. She would answer Dawn first. "Why, I thought that you would've known that one. The reason for your power is because of your innate magical ability. Or simply, your Lateral," she stated.

Looking to Sarah, she answered her. "As for why you are here, it's simply a matter of teamwork. I am to be your watcher. I will be making sure that all of the information and questions you need are right in front of you. In exchange, you are to perform missions by order of the government. Sounds fair, right?"

Sarah regained her composure, standing up and crossing her arms again.
"So, everyone here has a lateral, I suppose? Well... okay. I'll try this, see what it's all about. What sort of missions?"

Auria nodded. "Good."

She then continued. "For now, that's all that you need to know. Until then, I think I should let you depart to your homes. Let the information soak in, you know?" she smiled to all of them. "Just know that if you ever need me, I'll always be in the neighborhood."

Dante checked his phone then smiled happily completely not noticing what happen to his window he put a bowler hat on then headed out his front door. "Be back soon!" he shouted happily. He closed the door to his apartment then headed off to the pier. Dante's apartment became empty without him in it, After all he was just pretending not to be alone to brighten his spirits.

Sarah slowly walked back in the direction of her house. How could I let myself panic like that?! Ugh, I'm so stupid.

The Professor closed her eyes. "Could someone clue in our friend Dante on what has happened? For now, I'll be leaving," and with that she turned to walk back into the shadows, disappearing quickly.

"Yeah, I'll tell him," Sarah replied, pulling out her map. She went to his house.
@BMGF haxie-kun;)
"Hey, are you Dante?"

Nero stood to his feet, opting to disappear quickly. Well, now that the meeting was done; he could only ask himself why he'd bothered.

Missions? Come on, now; he'd been taking those for a while now. Granted, they'd been pay-less incognito jobs, he'd still been there and done that.

However, he'd humor the lady. Pretend he didn't know. If he got to practice his power, that was even better.

Lucy sat in her home and turned on her computer, which had been shut off for the last few days. A new message... No IP address or anything? This person wanted to stay secretive, huh? Weird.

Sorry, I seem to have missed the meeting. What is this all about?

She typed and sent the message after somewhat easily finding the sender with her hacking lateral ability.

Auria looked down to her computer pad as she walked through the back alleys. "Hm?"

Smiling, she began to type.

Oh, I believe that you'll be clued in soon. However, thank you for the reply. I look forward to meeting you.

The Professor

*********
A day had passed, the morning dawning on the neighborhood.

Nero was already up, folding the clothes in his room. He was shirtless, with only his pajama pants on. His scarf was off, and his face was not obscured. He was brushing his hair, bringing it into the spiky backward flow it normally was; before pinning it into a ponytail.

He touched his left cheek, where the tattoo he had was. Still there. "Damn..." he muttered to himself. Yesterday was... weird. Getting chased by a girl, fighting an out of place Feral, being contacted by a strange woman...

He would say this was normal for him... but it wasn't. At all.

Lucy raised an eyebrow. Meeting me? But I thought I missed that.

Is there another meeting to be held at some point soon...?

She replied curiously.

Auria had woken up to the sound of a reply on her computer. Yawning, she sat up from her bed to look at her pad. Her long, blonde hair was messy, and her legs were bare. She'd only slept in a button down shirt and underwear.

She blinked, replying back.

You could say that. However, know that this meeting will be much more fruitful.

The Professor

Tailisu slowly opened his eyes and stood up, he was in his bed. He remembered last nights events. He thought that govermment issued missions isn't exactly a normal thing for 15 years old so he isn't exactly planning to tell his parents or anyone he knows for that matters unless it is vital.

He especially noticed that he recognized most of the other people from the meeting, they were his neighbor, that was a funny coincidence thought Tailisu. He went downstairs to make breakfast, he wanted pancakes. After breakfeast he was planning to walk outside to think things over.
