  “Ack! My back!” being old is a pain. Why couldn’t he be young and handsome again? Not old and dandy. At least he didn’t have to suffer back pains if he did! 

It was like something just KNOCKED the wind right out of her. One moment she was making her way to one of the shopping areas in Archimedes and then the next? The next she was on the ground. Whatever happened, it happened and Hansol had no control over it. When Hansol came to, she didn’t see the source of what caused her to lose her balance and fall. She spotted no one. Just people walking by her, minding their own business. “...” It took her a split second to come and realize that her own scent was a little off. And by a little, she FELT it was very, very off.

“Wh-What’s going on?” And that IS not her voice? Hansol lifts her hands and looks right at them and immediately sets them back on the concrete to ground herself as she looks over her shoulder.

NO TAILS!

This causes her to leap up from the ground and spin around, all the while eyes looking for any signs of tails.”WHA-!?!?”  She didn’t quite like the smell she had on her. It wasn’t that the body smelled horrid. It was the scent. This...scent that Hansol was familiar with. A demon? She was in a demon’s body? 

To her luck, she happened to be in the right place at the right time to find subordinates of Eris making a deal of some sort. With her power, she stole away one of them and wrangled from him the information she wanted.

Noise still has her hood up when she approaches Riku on the street later that summer night.

“Put your weapon away, it’s me. Actually, nevermind...you’ll need it where we’re going.” A smirks spreads under that hood. “I’ve found that woman.” 

Thankfully, this one was catered with a few snacks here and there. And once everyone had filed in, the tailor began. A hologram popped up on the central table for everyone to view.

“Alright. So, we’ve about come to the end of the month, and I have a few matters to discuss. First and foremost...”

“...You’ve all done a superb job--much better than I expected since that odd bout of activity in that fantasy world about a month ago. All of you have worked very hard, despite the jarring change. So as a thank-you, I’ve gotten into contact with the Golden Dawn Resort. As long as you present your worker’s badge to the front desk, you should be able to pick one of the spa treatments on the Silver list free of charge. I would recommend a visit before the end of the year.

“Next, we have a couple new employees who will be working with us, so please welcome them and answer any questions they may have if I’m not around.

“Thirdly, thank you to everyone that ran the booth in Archimedes during the festival--you’ll be compensated for your time. If anyone cares to help stick around and dismantle it with me, I would appreciate the help.

“And finally, we still have a bit of summer left to go, so keep the theme in mind. Light clothes, swimsuits, raincoats--I’m sure you all know.”

With a satisfied nod, Iori closed the hologram, and gave a bow to his team.

“Thank you all again for your excellent work. I’m humbled, but not at all surprised at your work and determination. But, I’ve held your attention long enough. So--dismissed!”

Yela Alora seemed to be infested with Unholy creatures, as Licht had quickly found out. He didn’t mind though, it gave him something to do and he was always pretty good at picking a fight.

Though a few hours of fighting had him worn out, and he sat down on a tree branch to get away from the fighting long enough for him to catch his breath.
