Alejandro was finally discharged from the hospital. Realizing that his phone was still not with him, he borrowed his mom's phone and place a call to his own, wherever it was.
The Southpaw has no brakes!"Me, yes. I only recently convinced Seiryu-chan and Byakko to spend their down time more actively. For a while we simply slept until needed, woke up, smashed things, went back to sleep. Technically that's the most energy efficient method, so to speak. However..."
Cade took a bite, and immediately smiled widely as he tasted the meat. He swayed side to side a bit, in an obvious state of bliss.
Fear the Gothilolions! | Anime listAlejandro heard a girl's voice from his phone. Must be the one who helped me back then, he thought.
"Safety and peace. May I know who's on the line? I am Alejandro Borja, and I believe you're using my phone."
The Southpaw has no brakes!"Mea culpa, my friend. My apologies, and thanks," Alejandro replied, hanging up after.
The Southpaw has no brakes!"Mmf, sumfing lie *swallow*-at," * Cade replied between mouthfuls.
Fear the Gothilolions! | Anime listElyssa was a little surprised at not getting reprimanded for saying something quite so outlandish "It means I get a secret to hide, some abilities scientists would love to study and really good luck at the cards"
"The man that got sick in the restaurant... well he was being assaulted by a shade or something like that. I guess after it fed from that man it got strong enough to turn into the dog that chased us"
"Sounds like a good idea, far more enjoyable than sleeping lazily all the time" Sue said.
"Fufufu. Actually no. If I were here to thank you, rest assured that your newly adquired adult visage would melt off your skull... No. I'm here to talk with your little wishgranter friend." Malfeus said, while turning the back on him.
"You are a demonic force than even priests would loathe to face, yet I can see through your bindings and ploy. You're still weak and bound... if you have to resort to trick fools in that kind of way."
He then walked towards him. "Let's go somewhere else...I have a little proposal of cooperative business."
"I think I've known you long enough to know if you're lying." Mira mixed the coffee. "And you wouldn't lie to me after the two of us were attacked by something strange."
She handed a cup to Elyssa and sat down at the table, taking a sip of her coffee. "Besides, there are worse things in the world to find out about."
"In my opinion at least," Cade replied, as he finished his portion. "That was really good."
Fear the Gothilolions! | Anime listElyssa slowly started to drink her coffee, thus allowing her to order her thoughts a little. Fortunately Mira was taking things very well.
"Alright, I'll answer any and all questions you might have about it. No secrets"
"Well if we humans are good at anything, besides wrecking up this planet, it's at coming up with ways to make what we eat taste better" Sue said with a little pride.
— One week later —
The following week turned out to be pretty uneventful. Mother Nature saw it fit to slow things for a while and so Volwick city was assailed by constant rain and downpours. Nothing to serious but it was still enough to put some plans on hold and for some people to reschedule things a bit.
Sue spent most of the time hard at work on her room. She had Klaus come by her place no matter how bad the storms in order to prepare him to receive his magical weapon. Still even a hermit like her can catch the longing to feel the sun of her face and so today she's waiting for Klaus to meet her at the park nearby her house.
Gabriel for his part had Dario reschedule his meeting with Katie until after the rain passed. If he was going to stalk them at least he didn't want to do it dripping wet. And so the rest of the week he spend it practicing swordsmanship with his new sparring partner ad he did go out once to slay a bothersome spirit at the river.
Meanwhile, Elyssa started to make plans for a birthday party for her good friend Mira. An endeavor that took her far longer than it should due to her horrible organizational skills.
James and his buddies for their part had to suspend their planned werewolf slaying trip. Since they didn't have a lot to do they got to know the new kid and dug a little deeper into his bird problem.
Now it's Friday, noon. The sun has finally shown it's face all around Volwick city and the grey clouds are almost gone, leaving behind a pretty blue sky.
"So basically what we need to do is draw him out." said Ray. He'd been working on his accent, and had for the most part made himself understandable to anyone who wasn't from the deep south. He had also been experimenting with many new weapons, but in the end stuck to his high-powered rifle and shotgun. "That monster, it's a real bitch, that's for sure. Only way I see we kill it is with a crossfire, snipers, possibly fire and explosives."
"Don't get ahead of yourself kid. I'm getting a headache just trying to imagine a good way to draw him somewhere we can do all that covertly" James said, while glancing at the information they had gathered on Tengus.
Oh right! There's also the matter of blind Father Christopher, who spend the week teaching Mr Pillerson how to read the magic book of a long dead mage.

Alejandro spent the week with his maternal clan, delving into the tomes of House Sixto.
The Southpaw has no brakes!OOC:Long winded post. Mostly to introduce Malfeus as big bad and show a glimpse of his character.
"Hmmmm" Malfeus pondered, as he rechecked the arcane drawings and maps. It certainly had been a busy week for his. He had to find people, locate places, adquire information... all for his ultimate goal. He looked at the map, where several locations were painted in red circles. He scratched his head as he rocked in his chair backwards. A little too much as he begun to fall.
Oh Crap!. And then something soft and squishy stopped his fall. He found himself buried in his servant's chest, who was now seizing the chair with an amused species. One of the demons of lusts, a succubus. He had specifically summoned her to be an aide worthy of the nascent Infernalist Malfeus.
"...What an stupid kid you are. If I wasn't bound to your service, I would have let you fall and laugh in amusement." The demon said, smothering the magician even further. "Now that I have saved your little ass, may you release me from my binds, please?" She asked, her voice as sickengly sweet and coyly as she could muster.
"Nice try, but releasing a demon free is asking for suicide." Malfeus stood up as he regained composture. That didn't deter the fickle creature from dropping to his feet and groveling like a dog. "Please, it hurts, the bind, it hurts so much."
Malfeus recoiled as if she was some kind of slimy snake."Get off my legs, you wretch."
"Have a little consideration for your own mother, please, Malfy." She asked, with pleading eyes.
That seemed to get a reaction, as a magical backslash sent the succubus against the wall, slamming her against it with violence.
"DO NOT EVER refer me as that again. I am your MASTER, wretch. Remember that. Father I cannot hate, for he was naught but a hopeless fool, but you...you...you just kept me to fulfill a deal and then you still would refer me as garbage. Even though I unveiled all the lie. The time for partnership, mother, expired LONG ago." He paused.
There was a semblace of mockery in the demon, obviously undisturbed by the pain she had just felt. "...then why do you keep me, oh, blood of mine?" She chortled. "Do not deny it, you still have an attachment to me..."
"Bite your brazen tongue, slut. The only reason I keep you is to remember my goal of surpassing both you and father and cast away the weakness by which I was born into." Malfeus stated.
She laughed. A cold, heartless laugh, as her tone adquired newfound wickedness and mockery. "Let me be honest. If you manage to do that, I'll follow you willingly. Nevermind the punishments, for I have seen them plenty." Her true, decandent and twisted visage curled up in a smug smirk. "I would like to see the monster I took part in creating bask in destruction."
Malfeus did not answer at first. "Let's get down to business then. Hmm... I think I'll have to silence a few loose ties."
"Like that girl you wanted to get your hands on her, the one who taught you magic? You want a new plaything? Wasn't the foxgirl enough for you?"
"No. But she can be troublesome. Let's go...mother." He took his coat over his snazzy suit. He walked past a certain fox chained to a wall.
"Lemme out!" Mae barked. "You miserable halfbreed!".

"Wait... that's it!" Ray stood up. "Can we get some form of antimagic, or just some way to dispel the Tengu's invisibility? I say that we don't need to keep all theeuss secret bull''sheeit'' any lowngahr!"

"Those come from Chinese Lore or something like that, right? Interesting... I would have never imagined that their myths would be that accurate" Sue said finally putting the final touches on the meal to serve it on a plate.
"So, right now all of you are on stanby, living your lifes at you leisure?" The witch asked, serving the plate for Cade to eat.
Elyssa took out her cellphone "For now, I'll just call a cab for us"
