Gyff & Tsumomo #8

Tsumomo slipped through the few corridors with a simple fan colored with silver lines. Expecting to find whoever touch its illusion in the entry hall, since her trap created an energy bond.  However, she did not felt an movement. whoever entered was waiting at the lobby patiently, without even bothering with the illusion that just disappeared.

The dancer removed the energy bond and answered the person as she was the very recepcionist herself and had to leave for a brief moment. Shia was following her steps and showed up too, but she just stood and observed the scene.

- Hello, sir! I am sorry for your waiting. How may I help you? - The geisha said.
- Oh. Hello! Someisa definitely has nice eyes for her supporters. - The men was tall and used a blue pointy hat.
- How flattering are your words! - Tsumomo blushed lightly. - What kind of knowledge are you seeking in this academy? - Tsumomo covered her face with the kimono sleeve.
- I would like to know this place. And maybe, if possible, the head director. - He used formal vests which made no sense with his hat. It's colors were pale red.

Tsumomo signaled with her other hand, in such way that only Shia could notice, for her to walk around the academy.

- Unfortunately I cannot help you, sir. She is not around right now. - She said, while lowering her hand.

Meanwhile, someone entered the library dressing a lavender student uniform. It was a woman who picked up a book and started to walk around the library. She observed the young one that was looking curiously to the fan that was over the table. She closed the book and went to sit around that girl, taking the fan with her right hand.

Gyff was looking for a place to eat a little bit and stopped in one of the tea houses. There was a party there, but he was not very excited to stay. He simply entered the toilet to relief his stress and looked again to the bottle he was carrying. The bottle cork was missing. He left the flask over the metal surface expecting that something would sip over there, but nothing happened. So he decided to look directly inside the bottle, which was, as expected, empty.

"Bad day. Bad day. Bad day." - He thought. All that effort to grab that inside that maze was gone. Now he has to explain what happened to Cowboy, who was at the Taex district, in another point of the city. The problem is that he did not know what happened. Like he said himself when he arrived at Cowboy's tavern. Gyff sat in on the the chairs next to the bar.

- What's up, Gyff? How did it went? - Cowboy asked.
- See it for yourself. - Gyff handed the bottle. Cowboy looked it for a while and saw it was empty.
- How!? What happened?
- Someisa.
- And what is her role in this mess?
- She almost captured me, Cowboy.
- But you are here, right!?
- Man, something unexpected happened. A lot of flames and smoke. I used this mess to escape, but when I looked back...
- It was already open.
- Yes.

They both stood in silence for a while.

- Do you know what that bottle had? - Cowboy asked.
- I have no idea. I did not opened it before.
- That sucks, man.

More silence.

- Would you like some Whisky? - The bar owner offered.
- I still prefer your beer.

It was not Gyff's first flaw. Getting dangerous stuff has a price, and thanks to that, he was not receiving payment.

Gyff & Tsumomo #7

Gyff dove without his dagger ready. All he had in hands was the bottle, and people were able to see him falling over their heads for a brief instant, a little bit before magical rocks forms themselves in the space between the walls of the buildings where he leaped. It was a short span of time for people to spread and listen the man crash at the floor.

But nobody heard the noise. Just something like an athlete that knew how to roll to avoid a bigger impact. They heard something like someone kicking a wall and then two people were kicked in their torsos. The floor got wet while the crawler striked the people that could not even find where he was even in such a small space.

Someisa obviously did not gave up. She missed the light disk she threw before her prisoner escaped right in front of her. She walked to the edge of the building and looked down only to see the ceiling formed by Gyff. With a simple gesture she liquefied the rocks e undone the darkness, making the mud fall over his target and the other people, then she solidified the mud and snared him again, but the magic energies reacted unexpectedly and started to burn Black Cat and some other people by forming a green flame. A lot of smoke quickly emerged from this fire, unabling people to see what was going on but still able to hear steppings.

The archmage quickly extinguished the flames, but she was not quick enough to find her rival, who disappeared in the middle of the smoke created by that mess.

Gyff managed to reach the Hoot district. Fortunately it was not the entire town that was looking for him. Actually, not even the authorities were looking for him. He just needed to end what he had agreed with Cowboy.


Tsumomo followed her path, and Shia followed her. She was curious to see what Tsumomo would do, after all she never saw her away from the tea houses before. The geisha entered the academy and was greeted by the night shift recepcionist, which blushed lightly just by seeing her and started looking at the geisha of the geisha, sitting behind a desk. The dancer bended slowly and asked.

- What is wrong, miss?
- It... ...is that you are very pretty, and I... ...I am just...
- You have a noble duty to do. - Said Tsumomo. Interrupting the young. - Are you able to help me?
- It... would be a honor! - She kept looking down.
- Right. - Tsumomo took a fan out of the sleeve of her Kimono and gave to the young recepcionist who were using a black shirt, and a long black skirt. - Put this fan over any desk of the library. Remember the table over which you left it and meet me at the central court.

The firl bended slowly and took the fan from the hand of Tsumomo while still looking to the floor, and rand with clumsy footsteps to the library trying to make the smallest amount of noise possible with her sandals. Tsumomo put a second fan over the reception table and went to the central court. Shia followed her still trying to understand what was going on through her mind.

- What are you going to do, Tsumomo? Are you going to let the entrance open? - Asked the young with the green scarf.
- That is an invitation, miss Shia. Do you want to stay and watch?
- An invitation for me to stay and watch?
- No, silly. An invitation to an unwelcome guest. - The right sleeve from the Kimono started moving and she pulled a third fan from that curiosuly vibrating spot. - And it just arrived.
