Lake (Cardcaptor Aichi)
-So she doesn't know either...-
-...? What's she staring at...?-
-...-
-...Oh crud, he's still got his hand near the Sealed Blade! He's supposed to keep that a secret...!-
-He gets flustered, quickly removes his hand from his neck, puts said hand behind his back, and that sheepish smile only gets more awkward.-
"E-Ehehehe... W-Were you looking for someone?"
-Try to divert her attention from where he had his hand... Hopefully the necklace isn't visible...!-

inside
-the people in the picture are just black silhouettes, but it seems that Kareena put anything having to do with her parents in one section-
-you find what seems to be many items custom made to represent the two-
-small portraits, a box for, presumably, an engagement ring-
-but perhaps not one so beautiful as a music box, except instead of the cliche ballerina, it features a man with fiery red hair and that same style of goatee atop a white horse. A woman with Japanese features, but platinum blonde hair, sits behind him, her arms wrapped around his waist in an embrace-
-the song that plays is gentle and soft, not a note out of place-
outside
Voltaire: We're people who don't want any trouble, is all...
-the man stays silent, with most of his face covered, it's hard to tell what he's thinking-
-but his hand drops his gun away-
???: Jeezus Crist! That's cold!
-then Kareena bursts through the trees-
Kareena: Stop that robot!
-she points frantically to a two armed flying, wooden, robot carting a cloth bag into the sky. The robot is obviously too small for the job, and is slowed somewhat by the weight of it-
-Kareena waists no time waiting for people to react, and flings some lightning at it, trying to strike it down-

All our wishes can come trueYeah?... Also, nice necklace.
-then WHAT THE HECK FLYING ROBOT?!-
-AH—UHHHH-
-points two fingers and her hand glows red, the red turns into a fireball that flies at the robot-
-luis looks at the gun, scared and confused by this guy-
P—please don't shoot me!

LOVE IS STORED IN THE AXOLOTL!Lake (Cardcaptor Aichi)
-Aichi freaks out a little when she mentions the necklace.-
"N-Necklace? W-What necklace? E-Ehehehehehe..."
-...He's not fooling anyone...-
-...?! Robot in the air?! W-What?!-
-What should he do?!-
-...-
-...He could try to use his Sealed Blade for the first time...-
-He... He still has Blaster Blade and Elaine...-
-..But...-
-...He has to get away from this girl to do it—-
-...DID SHE JUST SHOOT A FIREBALL AT IT?!-
"H-H-How did you...?!"
-Kareena misses with all her shots, mostly attributed to her shaking hands-
-the robot manages to dodge some of the items thrown it's way, but is struck down by a blast of fiery energy that catches it on fire-
-it screeches in a metallic voice and drops the bag, items falling this way and that, but the bulk of it seems to be heading towards the lake-
Kareena: No!
-Kareena runs forward, right into the degrading flight path of the malfunctioning robot, still holding into one artifact from the bag, a disc type thing-
-before anyone can do anything, the tall, pale man rushes over to her with alarming speed, not super human, but definitely adrenaline filled-
-Not having the time needed to push her out of the way, he simply throws his body over hers, completely enveloping her in a tight embrace, almost like the inverse of throwing oneself on a grenade-
-the robot drops onto the man's back, the last thing you hear before a bright explosion of light is a loud grunt of pain-
-there is a bright explosion of light-
-it's almost blinding-
-you hear the cloth bag hit the lake surface with a large splash-
All our wishes can come trueLake (Cardcaptor Aichi)
-He hears the girl, but suddenly everything starts happening so fast...-
-He doesn't even know what's going on!-
-But upon the bright explosion of light he is thrown off guard and has to cover his eyes.-
"W-What's happening?!"
-He's really, really, really nervous now...!-
-What is going on in this place?! Who are these people here?!-
-It takes a while before he lowers his arm.-
-He's looking all over the place... The girl is gone... and there's something going on in the lake...?-
@Lili
-you manage to catch some old books, but it doesn't look like anything of too much value-
-at least to you-
@red text
-the bag sinks slowly to the bottom, but some pieces of what look like vellum, sheep skin parchment, float upon the surface-
-as the light fades, oddly slowly-
-where there once was a tall man in dark clothing now stands a purple, winged lion-
-no, not lion-
-chimera-
-still bent over, like he's protecting something under his powerful wings-
-there's movement under the leathery wings...is it?-
-the girl is still there?-
basement
-well, so far it seems that her father was a very rich man, and the numerous log books suggest a sailor. Perhaps one of his enemies got to him at the end-
All our wishes can come trueBasement
{But who would hate Kareena enough to go after her parents?} (continues her investigation}

(@Chimera) Who are you? (pockets the books for now)
(Casey Jones attempts to gauge the chimera and Voltaire's strengths before moving closer to them.)

@Sara
-you manage to grab the bag, it's fall is most likely slowed by air trapped inside, but being made of cloth, and now wet, it's quite heavy-
-if you think you can, you could probably pull it up, but if you're not confident in your swimming abilities, probably just better to leave it-
@Lili and Caesy
-Voltaire has a demonic presence to her, but she doesn't seem very powerful at the moment, unlike Kareena, she probably functions more in a support role on her team-
-that instrument on her back however...very odd aura to it-
-the chimera seems physically more powerful than the man that was once there, but with some intuiting, it's most likely that IS the man that was just there-
-green mane, purple fur...same color scheme at least-
-not to mention the black and white curled horns, the acid green eyes, or the fact that his fluffy tail seems to have a maw on the end of it, complete with teeth-
-the Chimera looks up at you Lili, and tries to respond-
???: Rawwr!!
-Kareena peaks out, unharmed, from under his wings-
basement
-sadly, it seems your search must stop here, these records all seem to be before Kareena's father's death, and none of them mention anything conclusive-
-maybe Kareena would know more-
All our wishes can come true-you manage to send the slightly dazed chimera flying off Kareena, who looks surprised at the sudden violence-
@Caesy
Voltaire: none of your beeswa-Joker!!
-she shoves past you and runs to the chimera's side-
-Kareena stumbles upright, not sure what to do-
Kareena: Wha-what happened?
-she blinks her eyes, she can only see fuzzy shapes right now, and makes sure to keep one hand above her to block the sun-
Voltaire: What did you do that you jerk?! He was trying to be helpful!
-Voltaire glares at Lili with hatred in her eyes-
-Kareena bends down and gropes at, eventually managing to pick up, a bone cracked in two-
-she seems pretty dang out of it-
All our wishes can come trueHuh—ah!
-luis goes to help kareena up-
H—hey! Um...
-it's big brother luis!=
-he then sees lili and casey ready to attack the chimera and just... gets in between?-
-he's staring down lili and casey-
D—d-don't shoot!-
-IS THAT A CHALLENGE NARRATOR?!-
-because yeah she's gonna try swimming with it-

LOVE IS STORED IN THE AXOLOTL!Voltaire: Crushed her? She's only alive because of him!
-The chimera slowly stands back up, uneasily-
-Voltaire pulls her violin off her back-
Voltaire: But if a fight is what you want...I gots no problem with wiping bottomfeeding scum like you off the face of the Earth...
-she is about to play something on her fleshy stringed fiddle, when Luis steps in front-
Voltaire: Move boy! No one threatens us for no good damn reason!
-Kareena, seeing Luis, even in her stunned state, moves to his side instinctually-
Kareena: Big bro? Why are we angry?
-her eyes are squinted, like the explosion was a flash or stun grenade-
-she might not totally realize what she has done, but she too, has just put herself in harms way for Voltaire and the chimera's life-
@Sara
-you manage to drag the bag to the surface and pull it onto dry land with Aichi's help-
-you kinda see this whole clusterfuck going on at the same time-
Edited by Lunarcat on Jul 7th 2018 at 7:18:28 AM
All our wishes can come true-luis shakes his head- No! I'm on YOUR side!
Y—you clearly wanted to protect her, right? Well I do too!
B—but fighting isn't going to help!
-sarah starts gasping for air as he makes up to the surface-
Thanks... I hate water SO much...
-aichi, the water, it's just evaperating off her-
-she then looks up to see the commotion and—LUIS?!-

LOVE IS STORED IN THE AXOLOTL!Lake (Cardcaptor Aichi)
-Aichi, after pulling Sarah and the bag onto land, starts panting and gasping for breath...-
"...A-Are you... a-all right...?"
-O-Oh, she's thanking him...-
"...Y-You're welcome..."
-He was glad to help.-
-...?! The water's just... evaporating?!-
"H-How are you...?!"
-...-
-...THE SEALED BLADE! Is it still around his neck?!-
-He quickly grabs at his neck and...-
-PHEW! It's still there...-
-He exhales out of relief.-
-He looks up at the ensuing scene, trying to process what is going on after pushing himself...-

(smiles at Luis and intentionally misses his shot, hitting a distant tree.)
What are you doing, Casey?!
Just because you're technically my Master, doesn't mean I have to follow your orders. Marcia would have my head if she found out I killed an innocent person.
Edited by josh6243 on Jul 7th 2018 at 4:20:19 AM
-Voltaire, bites her lip, and then-
-both her and the chimera move up to your side Luis-
-they make it clear that they stand with you-
-and kareena-
-she just hugs onto Luis tightly when she hears the gunshot-
Voltaire: Your pal there, Casey, has the right idea...
Voltaire: Kareena's my friend. We protect our own...Maybe that's why my Uncle protected her from the explosion in the first place...friend of a friend and all...
Voltaire: He's not usually the one to put himself in harms way for another...
-she seems confused by this a little-
Voltaire: But that doesn't matter, what matters is that Kareena could have died without him...
All our wishes can come true

{Perhaps... Hopefully, Occam's Razor is right this time.} (keeps an eye on Lili since she's technically his Master)
(Lili enters a defensive stance) Who are you?
