Oh good, the cart set itself on fire, I was sort of expecting something less.... stupid. Oscar looked back at the king, then back at his 'councils', is he serious? that can't be the story. He gave a light chuckle, "Thats a bit brief, mind enlightening us a little bit more?" CitrineLily~Mythנιηχχє∂
Lucia's heels clipped on the tile floor as she made her way towards the meeting, her hair sharp and her glasses sharper, straitening her tie she more or less stormed into the meeting room, a little irritated that she was late, but nonetheless she was there, and by the sound of it hasn't missed much at all.
Michaela nodded, a grin lighting up her face as she turned, moving towards the man at the counter with soft, graceful steps. She folded her hands in front of her body, keeping them down by her legs as she spoke slowly, "U-um excuse me," she started softly, throwing in a stutter for good measure.
The man looked up at her, grunting. Well, that won't do, Michaela thought, putting on some more charms. "My friends and I heard the story of his Majesty, and it scared us," she said, her lip trembling. "Who knows what they'd do if we don't have a weapon to defend ourselves with?"
She let out a dramatic, sad sigh, moving towards the counter completely. "The problem is that our family is very poor... we don't have enough for any of your wonderful weapons..." she choked out, biting at her lip before she told them what bad things their families had been through.
The man actually did seem to be moved a little, regarding her for a few moments longer. "You poor things. Please, take a weapon to defend yourselves with. I wouldn't want to see you get hurt because of these babarians."
"Thank you so much, sir," Michaela breathed out, managing to have some tears appear in the corner of her eyes before she moved back to the group, a smirk overtaking her the moment she wasn't facing the man anymore.
Jay nodded in reply, crossing his arms as they were walking. He thought about complaining about having to run this much, but thought better of it. Quinn would just make fun of him for it. Maybe skipping p.e. all the time was catching up to him now, but oh well.
He also still had to figure out how he'd activated his powers when he'd gotten attacked.
Jaden looked up as Lucia entered, giving her a nod as well. "Councilor Lucia, welcome," he said, not seeming too irked by the fact that she was late. "We've just been retelling the story of how the murder happened. Perhaps you could also shed some light on it if there are any pressing questions?"
Lucius felt like dying. How many people were on this council? Getting away from Jaden may have been possible, but how would they get away from this amount of people that were obviously trained? He gave a nervous glance towards Oscar and Rose as he thought that.

(lucia is by far my favourite antag i created xD) "It would be my pleasure sir." She turned to the other three sitting around the table, staring at them coldly, specifically at those whom dared to question- Oscar and Rose.
Oscar shifts uncomfortably, and returned a 'we might be screwed' smile at lucius.
"During the day, the area was surrounded by forests- it made an easy way for the spirits to get the advantage. We weren't expecting such magical force during the day- especially within the carriage." She was staring at Oscar, making him anxious. "It was also during sunset, so once they did the deed they would easily escape, making it hard for the troops to gather and go after the spirits all together... but we finally found them." SHe slowly approaches Oscar, as he tries to hold onto eye contact. "That's what you wanted? Your.... enlightenment? Wondering why it was in a carriage strategically, Chessplayer?"
Oscar felt his blood ran cold, his brain scrambled for ways she could have found that out and he immediately remembered the chess gambling he had outside the cafe. "...If you were just looking for a chess game, just ask." The councillor glares worsened and he thought he was about to die, but her high heels clicked away slowly, with her back turned but yet he could still feel the stare burn into him.
Even Rose didn't like that more and more kept appearing. Especially when they came off as they did. Her eyes flicked from each one, the tension was obvious. So, the girl did what she knew best, talking others heads off. Her face was very expressive as she spoke. "That really sounds awful, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. But you must be able to understand that it must be odd and very jarring for someone thrown in all this. Everything's scary and conflicting, dont know who to trust; no matter what it doesbt seem safe. Theres just a lot of thoight thst has to go into everything, which really isnt my thing, im more of a go with the flow type person, ya know?" She really could go on for hours on a single point. "And theres supposed to be others which if youre telling the truth than good people will be caught on the wrong side and that wouldnt be okay. Why does everything need to be solved with a fight everything can be talked out. No matter what were going to need to go and learn for ourselves, which is going to be really scary, and take everything you say into consideration during it. This all still feels so unreal ya know, it's exciting but soo scary!"
Damien was... Difficult, to say the very least. He disnt bkther coming despite the kings orders. Instead, he had a book in hand that he was reading in the library. He didnt believe that some would actually come and see the king, it mustve been a prank.

"If? We're telling the truth?" Lucia glares at the girl. "The high Council ALWAYS tell the truth. If someone murders your family are you just going to 'go with the flow'? I don't think so girl." She was more or less triggered, but thats normal.
Woah.... she’s good.... I wonder if that trick would work on my brothers to due the dishes..... Peridot thought to herself with her watching the scene in front of her unfold into their favor that they could get any weapon they wanted now for free however she had the look of relief on her face once Michaela turned to face them and not copying only simply adding on to the ploy that they were a poor family searching for a way to defend themselves from these ‘dangerous’ spirits.
Vincent kept a poker face on during the entire time from him finishing his own story to the other counselor’s Lucia’s own arrival and telling her more ‘detailed’ story of that tragic event, he was of course internally smirking when the tale was told even after the counselor not getting in one of the ‘guests’ faces per say however enough in a figurative sense to get to the point which she was doing such a good job he wasn’t going to add his input in it, Lucia was on a roll with this and he knew better than to get in her way besides he was enjoying the show.
"Hmm...my favorite memory? I have too many to count,but i guess, it would be the memory of meeting all you and making friends here on the forums. :3" ”One day I’m going to sit down and make a list of all the books that I finished reading....” “It's going to be a long list...”
"Thank you, councilor," Jaden said, his eyes finding Rose's. "If somebody has already shown that they will not stop when it comes to ending human lives, don't you think it is too late to talk? I must protect the people of my city before more harm befalls us. It is within my duty to eliminate any threat that may bring harm to the citizens." And also to get revenge for his father, but that wasn't a point that he brought up.
Though, as soon as he had shown a more mature, older side, he suddenly slouched a little, almost pouting. "I believe I called for all councilors, though," he muttered, glancing around the room. "Where is councilor Damien?" He knew that he didn't always follow his orders, but it annoyed him to no end. With something that sounded like a sigh, he called for a guard, telling them to fetch him.
Oh great, more people, Lucius thought, his anxiety rising. They wouldn't get out of this alive, would they? He sent Oscar another look that basically said 'okay what's the plan?', though he figured that there, indeed, was no plan and they were going to die.
"Well, let's pick out weapons," Michaela said quietly once she'd gotten back. "Let's not go for the most expensive stuff, though. We want to appear as modest and grateful, okay?" she added thoughtfully, then started scanning through a row of short swords. A grin lit up her face as she took one, holding it in hand. "Don't I look like a knight like this?" she joked, striking a pose.
Rose pouted as she got a mouthful from both of them. She looked like he was actually going to cry, but tears never fell. She sucked in a deep breath. Her eyes turned to Jaden, they were hard but not threatening. "Sir, you advertised this as a private meeting. I understand you are close to your councilors but this conversation was far more civil before more people were invited." Her glance shifted to Lucia for a split second, definitely a little nervous about her due to the outburst. "May I suggest there be a recess so no one says anything they might regret?" She really would probably cry if things got much more tense, and then how could she keep the atmosphere happy? She really looked like a kicked puppy right now.
With the location marked in Quinn's head, he continued on for a regular supermarket. Finally having his eyes set on one, he let out a sigh. They'd need to think about what was easy to transport, while still being filling, and wouldn't go bad. There options were pretty limited. This is where they would probably spend the most amount of real money. Though he could definitely find something to sneak out as well.
Damien sighed as a guard approached him as per the king's request. He snapped the book shut loudly and rose from his seat. If he was seriously being bothered again then it must be something for real. He was expressionless as he spoke. "I'll send my apologies to the king, I did not hear the first time. I was engrossed in research." At least the second half was true. The councilor made his way down towards the chambers where they were settled, ready to be ultimately annoyed no doubt.

(Lucia: how dar)
Lucia glared at the girl, how dare, how dare she talks to a superior this way. she would've slapped her if it wasn't the indecency it would be to do it in from of the prince, so instead she bit her lips and said nothing about the situation, and continue glaring coldly and the three. "A recess? Or a way to try and escape after being foundwd out?"She retorted harshly.
Oscar looked back at Lucius and almost can see that he was saying 'the plan is just don't get caught', or to be putted bluntly, he has no plans, okay MAYBE he wasn't expecting the councillors to arrive, he doesn't have enough infomation to understand what the actual heck is going on.
"While the councilors are here, the decision is still ultimately mine," Jaden explained, folding his hands together. "They were called here to shed light on the murder, as that was what you all requested." He didn't look too pleased by having his decision challenged, though remained calm, even though he really wanted to pout about it.
"However, once all questions have been answered, we can continue this talk alone," he added.
Oh great, we're already gonna be dead when that time comes, Lucius thought, nervously glancing around the room. Just how were they going to get out of this?
"...you sound annoyed," Jay remarked, still keeping his arms wrapped around himself as they were passing by people. He was uncomfortable with the amount of people that he'd already had to squeeze past today, really reaching his limit of social interactions in general for the day.
Peridot nodded in agreement after all they wanted to act as grateful poor people not selfish people from another world not wanting to get arrested, “Haha yeah!” She grinned when Michaela found one of the short swords then doing a pose like a knights would do maybe, she was a fighter only when it came to that point and when it came to weapons she liked her slingshot if aimed correctly could discourage or injury the opponent however if she ever ran out of rocks then finding a more suitable weapon had the chances of increasing surivival. While having a look around another shelf she found a good-sized dagger with a plain yet simple look that she could easily add her own designs later. “This is nice.”
Vincent remained silent as the king spoke to their unruly guests once more which he figured Lucia had ever right to defend herself he took another mental note than to get on her bad side, he glanced over at the door to see another counselor Damien enter the picture which it only made the counsel and the king appear stronger however he didn’t like the fact of the king being alone with them yet they could easily wait outside and besides these people seemed to already be uivering it was simply only a matter of time until they spilled everything.

"Of course, sir." Lucia seemed to have immediately dropped her demeanor, and backed off a little before she accidentally shoots someone. With a click of the finger she became an obedient dog. But couldn't help stare daggers at the other late councilor. "Either way, you are late." She spoke harshly.
Oscar didn't exactly know why the heck would Rose would suppose to accomplish by this, if they could change someones mind in a day then that is definitely a miracle. Right now he's just conducting ways to get out of this, alright you spirits you better atleast help! It is technically ALSO you're life on the line!
Momiji skipped a little recklessly down the street. She had just eaten the most wonderful lunch and was in quite a good mood. In fact it was like she could still smell the no-...BAM! Momiji just walked face first into a man three times her height.
“Watch out kiddo.” The scruffy man grumbled and moved along. “Mm, sorry.” Momiji dipped her head as she kept walking. (No longer skipping). Of course inside she was boiling for being called ‘kiddo’. She was not a ‘kiddo’. In fact she was a very super powerful person very super powerful water powers. (It didn’t matter that she didn’t know how to really use those powers)
What did matter however, was that she was a very angry 11 year old storming off into the closest shop. Which just so happened to be...a weapons shop. And her angry storming didn’t stop once she got into the store. No, she angrily stormed all of the way straight into another tall person.
Damiens demeaner was very calm. "I apologize, I mustve missed the first request while in the study." He barely sounded sorry, "I must say though, i am rather surprised that some actually came." He did not look surprised. Just in general, he didnt seem to gice way to emotion at all.
"Yeah, holding space is gonna limit this a lot. Gonna guess lots of jerky will be the best choice." He thought aloud, as it fit all the criteria they were looking for.
Peridot had been examining the dagger that she could easily use to defend herself, possibly skin an animal for food or help gather up wild herbs basically a multi-purpose weapon that she could easily keep on person and hide from nosy people from this place. She didn’t really flinch much when someone bumped into her with her turning to look to see who it was and was surprised to see a young girl maybe around the age of eleven or twelve being the culprit which she was more surprised that the girl was in a weapon’s shop however she could sense that the new stranger had a similar aura like her other two new allies. “Are you alright?”
