"The Guild was established due to the need for a centralized western school of the Alchemical arts. While it is called a 'Guild', 'Academy' or 'University' is a far more accurate description. The moniker of 'Guild' is indeed a holdover from older days, but seemed more fitting than one of those titles. As much as I hold to progress and discovery, I can't deny that it has a certain charm."

-Aichi walks in from upstairs and sees Leos and Sthesia playing out of the corner of his eye.-
-Looks like a tough match on Sthesia's part... but it's still a really neat seeming match!-
-Seeing as Aichi doesn't want to interrupt their match he sits over to the far side of the couch and continues watching quietly.-
-He wonders if Sthesia's going to be able to turn things around...?-
(According to their respective resource meters, Sthesia seems to have enough to respawn, but Leos's is pretty low. It's flashing, so that means he's on his last life.)
(Speaking of, Leos manages to pull a XENON BUNKER on Sthesia's mech, doing a whopping 200 HP damage, and follows up with a beam blast that blows up the latter.)
(Sthesia then respawns, and manages to fire off a few shots before Leos counters with his underslung BEAM CANNONS. Sthesia however, manages to block with her shield just in time.)

-Aichi's really enjoying watching the fight!-
-It really is close... If Sthesia can manage to get Leos's last life out of the way she wins!-
-Naturally Leos wouldn't take that without a fight though. He's definitely got tricks up his sleeves to take down Sthesia's mech before she takes him out.-
-Although Sthesia's not too shabby herself in terms of tricks. She could probably deal with whatever Leos pulls out.-
-It's anyone's game and Aichi's watching intently to see who wins!-

(It's an epic game of cat and mouse and Leos attempts to barrage Sthesia's mech with its funnels but Sthesia manages to dodge the beam shots and throws a little dagger at Leos's mech, which is stunned briefly.)
(Sthesia then charges in, making some pretty devastating slashes with her sword, and manages to knock Leos's mech away, but that has managed to bring Leos's Limit Break meter up to max.)
(Before Sthesia can finally bring him down, Leos activates the Limit Break mode, managing to connect the Finishing Move, which involves Leos beating Sthesia's mech with a long but devastating combo that eventually results in Sthesia's mech being blasted into pieces. And thus Leos wins the game.)
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."Up on the roof, Absinthe and Caliban spoke in quiet conversation, perfect for an early morning...if it was morning.
"Are you sure your should be trying to work this early?"
"I've got nothing else to do right now. Besides, I was that close to a breakthrough when we left Chicago."
"I suppose there's not much I could do in any case, is there? Mind the arsenic."

-He was just wondering how Leos was doing since things got a little hectic yesterday... After the Annas drug him upstairs he sort of lost Leos and Misaki...-
"I was just trying to find you... After Anna and her sisters showed up yesterday I tried finding you, but I couldn't..."
-He's got a sheepish smile.-
"I-It was a bit hectic..."

The familiar, a large, brown and black and grey skull of some viscous substance connected by trail to the case aside the Alchemist, turned, and leaned in to the working figure to get her attention.
Absinthe herself turned, removing her scarf and a pair of esoteric safety goggles from her face.
"Are we bothering you?"
[forum cryptid: it/it's]Main Room (Aichi)
-So did Leos tell Sthesia about what happened then?-
"Anna and her sisters were really glad that we tried to help them."
-...Well, Leos did. Aichi didn't really do much...-
"I can't blame them really... I'd be really happy if someone helped me escape from some strange place like that too..."
-...He needs to be more careful from now on though... Like Leos and Misaki told him yesterday he was lucky he didn't get shot.-
-His heart was in the right place, but the fact that he didn't even stop to consider how much danger he was putting himself in is something he needs to deal with.-
-He's got to find a balance between staying out of trouble and actually having courage...-

"Oh, naturally, after all we only arrived last night....our was it yesterday, Abs, I can't quite remember myself..."
"Caliban."
"Oop, so sorry. Don't mind me, I'll just be...overrrrr here. Missing my own business."
"Yes, we arrived the other day. Thankfully, it seems that the lodging around here is exactly sure those like us."

-Cyber Newtypes...-
"...Cyber Newtypes are a lot like Anna, aren't they...? Made for fighting..."
-Leos's universe had people that were made for that purpose at some point in its history...-
-Leos and Sthesia aren't even sure if any of them ever managed to escape...-
-...It's terrible for someone to be created for fighting and nothing else...-
-...Guys, Aichi seem notably down now...-
