Mission Name: Hell's Apartment
Suggested Level: Apprentice-Spell Caster
Format: Turns
Sign-Up 1.________ 2.________ (Do not post until all slots are filled.)
Scenario: An apartment complex in a bad neighborhood seems to be housing more than a few tenants. Recently, a few tenants have gone missing. Now, people living there have sighted shifting shadows, and heard screams coming from the locked lower levels.
To discover what exactly is going on, ads have been posted in magazines and sent to certain teachers at the Academy who find this sort of task "an appropriate test."
Mission: Find the missing tenants and uncover the secrets the apartment holds.

1. Ketsuki 2.______
Ketsuki had heard of the strange events going on for a while and was wondering about how he was supposed to take credit for them. Then one of his customers turned out to be related to one of the tenants and asked Ketsuki to save them in return for his soul. Of course Ketsuki gladly accepted to help them out of there and quickly signed up for the mission.
I'll be damned if I let this opportunity pass me. Well, I guess I am but not by myself.
He tought as he put a rune so evil looking that you wouldn't find on any evil magic ring anywhere.

1. Ketsuki 2. Nikias
Nikas and Auron heard about the task and quikly accepted the task. To save others was a good way to make some new friends and good training for him and Auron.
This will be most entertaining. I want too se if i have to use any sword dances at all or even transform.

Thank you for the sign-ups. This mission goes by "Turn Based" rules. (I post, then ketsuki, then me again, then Nikias, then repeat cycle.) Let's begin. = = = = = = = = = (Since neither of you specified where you are, I will begin with the two of you arriving at the apartment.)
*The apartment you see before you is ugly and run down, paint peeling off most of it, revealing dark brick beneath it. Redeeming features are few, but two beautiful stone gargoyle statues are on either side of the gate, making quite the enterence. Once past the gate and outer wall, there is a small courtyard, wherein there is a man and two small boys, kicking a soccer ball to eachother. A woman is leaning against one of the building walls, chatting away on a cell phone.
Past them is the main apartment structure, which is quite large when compared to other apartments. By just looking it over, you assume there are at least two-hundred units within it's ugly walls.
Upon you two arriving, another man who you didn't notice before, emerges. He is dressed in jeans, a white wife-beater, and has a large, brown beard, off seting his bald head.*
"Hey, you kids from the Academy?" He asked in a hushed voice, his eyes shifting to the woman and family, as if trying to keep low profile.

Ketsuki had been watching the gargoyles when he heard the man arrive. He turned around to face him and then he looked at the man for a moment. He seemed like the kind of guy Ketsuki would've easily stolen the soul from if the circumstances had been different. As it was now he had to concentrate on finishing the mission unless the previous contract would lose its effect. Then he casually leaned against one of the gargoyles before he began to speak.
"Maybe, that would depend on what who you are. Did you possibly ask for help from the academy?"

*Upon hearing your words, the man smiles.*
"Great. My name's Edward, and I made the add. So nice of Mr. Halsephea to be handing these adds out to the academy kids. Anyways, here's the short and sweet version. A few tenants have disappeared, and there have been reports of shadowy figures movin' around. Also, screams from the locked lower levels. We don't know what's under there, seeing as it was locked when I bought it. None of the tools we used could break the chains, so we left it be."

"hello Edward" Nikias said right after he intredused himself to Edward. Nikias looked around in the apartment and then asked. "So what youre saying is that you don't know what the things that kidnapp or murder the tenants is? Well we have to chek what it is right?" Nikias said and turned around to Ketsuki. "Don't we?"
We leave the chains for now and make a investigation first. Maybe if we knew what we are up against we would have the odds on our side.
Nikias again turned around to talk to Edward. "When did this whole thing start?"

"About a week ago. A tenant named Creig disappeared around midnight, supposedly while walking to the laundry room. He didn't come back. So, his wife got worried, and told me. A few days later, a woman named Yumi disappeared. Now, just last night, the screams started. Once I heard them myself, I posted the add."

"I take it that those two are the only victims? If not I'd like the names and times of disappearances of the others. On top of that, if you know wether or not they had any connection with each other other than being neighbours I'd like to know that as well."
This was probably going to be annoying. When Ketsuki got the soul from that old shit who asked him to join this mission he'd put some extra energy into tormenting it. Those chains were definitley strange if they were definitley magic, but since he didn't know what kind of spell that had been put into them and no soul to trade there were no way that he'd get authority from below to break them with their powers, so he'd have to find some other way to open it.
"By the way, there didn't happen to be a lock or something on the chain?"

*He pondered the question.*
"To my knowledge, the two had no connection. If you want, I can lead you to the locked door. Hell, for that matter, I'll take you anywhere you need to go."

"Lets make this as smooth as posseable." Nikias said and looked at His working-partner.
Aeron was looking at the working-partner With a look that probebly could kill.
Aeron seem to sense A demon within him or is he a demon?
"You take the lead." Nikias said it more as a comand than a question. And looked at Edward.
Edit: "Could we get a look in the locked door then Edward?"

"Sure thing man." Edward said.
*Edward led the two of you through the apartment, a lot of tenants giving you odd glares, most likely because they know of your studenthood at The Academy. Soon though, you arrive.
The door is very old, but made of steel. Chains hold the handing from opening.*
"There you go. Have fun trying to open it. Hah."
OOC- Sorry for delay on post. I never got a reply from Nikias saying he edited his post... =.="

"Yeah, I bet we will. This looks like a major headache if you ask me. But maybe Nikias are better than me with locks?"
Ketsuki said but studied the lock and chains closely anyway. Then he turned to Nikias and the cat that had been staring at him for a long time now. He returned the favor for a moment and then spoke directly to Nikias.
"I may have some ideas but if you're able to break this or unlock it, it would be alot easier. You think you can do that?"

"Well you guys, I got work to do, so I'll leave you to this." Edward said, walking away. "Good luck guys."
*With that, Edward left, leaving you two with the door.*

"No tools have broke it Edward said didn't he?"
Nikias looks at the chains. Then he looks at Aeron.
"Any ideas Aeron?"
Aeron also go forth and check on it. Then it became silent for a while. Aeron steps back and sit down and just looked at Nikias.
"No ideas then... Well if tools don't work use magic then."
Nikias looked at His partner and said: "Can you do this? I am a little low on destructive spells here."
Nikias stepped back from the chains and waited for Ketsuki to try destroying the chains.
