- Benedict Strahm -
Benedict arrived at downtown. 10:30am and the workers were already working on cleaning up Karma. "Is the building safe to enter?" The foreman walked up to him to pass him a high-vis jacket and a helmet. "For your own safety," he commented. Benedict smiled and put on the gear before heading inside. The place was a ruin, metal everywhere, storage looted, safe's stolen, a complete husk. "So how are rebuilding efforts going?" "We've taken out the rubble so it's now a matter of reinforcing the structure. After than we've got to tear up the floor and redo it, then we have the plumbing and all that jazz. Rewiring electricity, repairing the emergency generator, fitting alarms, replace copper wiring, basically getting the building up to the government's safety standards before decorating." Benedict observed the work these men were doing. Efficient, hard at work, dedicated. Trying to put on a good impression on the businessman, and it was working, and with the profits he made of The Village last night he could afford one more club and a touch up if so, though not now. "How much stock was found?" "Got nothing. Looters cleaned out the entire place, not a single drop of stock around." Benedict sighed and took a look at the floor plans. Two floors, four bars, one large bar, lighting equipment, mono music systems wired to set-decks. Probably will cost about a hundred or so grand to get it refitted, and then there's the case with the employees. "You got anything on employees?" The foreman called one of the builders to the two, where he put down a folder. "Bartenders, janitors, security, all records on them are there." Benedict placed it in his case before thanking everyone. He left the building and began walking towards the casino. Hopefully the building will be operation within two or three days, a small task, and The Village is doing well enough to cover the costs. He walked into Full House and breathed the air. He had only a hundred on him, safe bet. He crossed over the the poker table and started to play.

- Reaver -
Dust swirled as the VTOL set itself down on the hillside, looking over the city of Heartania. Inside it was a scene of chaos, with wounded mercs being bandaged up and equip,net being repaired all over the place. Four men stood on permanent guard over Felix while Nariko was slumped in the corner, tending to her own wounds. Compared to her warriors, Reaver was in high spirits, and was getting bored with the sitting around. "Nari, get some rest. I'm going out." Reaver declared. "Look after the kid, and if you get hold of Snow tell her where you are, kay?" Nariko only nodded, exhausted from the fighting, and Reaver grinned as she pulled on a disguise and made her way out. So it was that a blonde woman in a long, fashionably cut red coat and sunglasses strolled casually into the Full House casino. Reaver's armoured bodysuit was hidden beneath the clothing and between makeup and outfit she looked nothing like the woman who had only just terrorised the city. It helped that she always wore a mask when committing her crimes. She looked around the room for something to do, absorbing the relaxed atmosphere. It was time to relax.

- Wild Card -
Wild Card saw the man who owned the Village across the street on a poker table, casually walking to the security guard he whispered to him "keep an eye on that one for me will you", continuing to walk up the stairs to his office he took one last look around and saw a very familiar looking woman, shrugging it off as if he had known her he went back to his office, "Right now then where were we?" he said clapping his hands together as he entered his office, Lutte vic turned around in his chair following him "you were telling me what you hired me for" he said "ah yes Right you have been hired for the purposes of a private army me and my colleges are organizing" Wild card said as he sat back in his chair "Private army for what?" Lutte vic asked "we are planning to over take the city or well at least government part of it anyway" Wild Card answered "for the time being im hiring you as a personal bodyguard for my self until i get in contact with my associates where we can discus matters further" Wild card continued.

..is he in denial? Jade’s eyes flickered as she skimmed through the possible reasons to why the Broker seemed to be so calm about the whole situation. Did he predict it? ..No way. Maybe he had another breakdown? It would certainly make more sense. And how am I supposed to react to this? Do I just play along?Jade paused and sat calmly back down in the chair, her eyes showing the peculiar colour combination of yellow and indigo. She smiled and took a sip of her tea, deciding to let it slide for the moment until she eventually could ask him in peace and quiet. “..We had a good time. Ice cream and braiding is always a hit.” - Snowflake -
Snowflake had laid with her face towards the wall, listening as Crimson and ‘Teddy’ chatted about old times. Though she only caught bits and pieces, yesterday’s events were already becoming clearer in her foggy mind and causing her to actually feel a bit sorry for pulling Crimson into it all. Yet some words got stuck in her head and created a few questions she would have to ask later.
With a light cough she shuffled over to her other side and opened her eyes slightly, still feeling the taste of blood in her mouth as she caught a glimpse of Crimson standing in the doorway. She cleared her throat and spoke with a hushed voice. “Friend of yours?”

Luke woke up with in cold sweat, and held his shoulder in pain as he slowly got up. That nightmare was terrible, and reminded him of the days he thought Lilly was dead. He didn't want to go back to those days. Moving around was difficult enough but after a while, Luke managed to put back on, after having a more difficult than usual shower. Looking back in the mirror, Luke saw that his stubble had begun to start forming a beard. He put on new clothes a grey shirt, but still wearing a copy of his favourite black hoodie and grey cargo pants. His shoes were combat boots, and it took Luke a while to attach all his holsters on again before fitting everything in. I should visit my house in the city, I had some schematics on different type of arrows and all that stuff I left behind in my room. Looking back at the city from his balcony; Luke oddly felt like he missed the old days. No, not the days. The moment. The moment he realized that Lilly was safe, that Kay was under his protection and that they were going to be fine. Then the riots started and everything changed. He hoped Lilly would manage to calm herself down soon and he began to walk out, before he was told by a young woman the directions to the dining hall. He thanked her and soon entered, slightly shocked to see the damage that had been done to everyone.

One of Heartania's more expensive districts was a delightful collection of niche housing, local markets and breathtaking art-hubs. Sat in a local café, wearing a cheap pink dress shirt and bargain trainers, Damian didn't feel as comfortable as he would have liked. He sighed; pondering if his sponsors had made the correct decision in arranging such an informal meeting, given the circumstances. The arrival of a bald man in a sharp black overcoat had caught Damian's attention, carrying a thick file and asserting his position on the stock-market over the phone, he took the time to order two coffees from the wooden counter. Proceeding to sit opposite Damian, the bald man made sure to fake his most telling smile and greet, "Good-morning, Mr. Harris. I am the new envoy between Skyline Conglomerate and individual projects - Miles Lawson." The café barista approached the table and casually placed the two coffees on either side, before making her way back to her station. "Coffee's on me, Mr. Harris. You could use some charity today." Damian raised his drink, whilst making a similar motion with his eyebrow." "My employer regrettably... Look, I'll cut out all the formalities." The envoy placed his file onto the table and joined his hands together, leaning closer to Damian. "After that little explosion at your research lab, the big-wigs at the Conglomerate aren't gonna risk even more property damage. So... they're dropping you." Damian had suspected as much, and he respected Mr. Lawson for being straight with him, but ultimately decided to give no response. This clearly angered the envoy. "I'm here to notify you and that's it. Any funds you would have received will now be going to repairing damaged property. I'm out of here!" Quick as a flash, the envoy grabbed his file, as well as his coffee and left the café. Well, seems like my contingency plan will come into effect. If the greedy corporations won't let me help whoever I can; I'll do it myself. On my own terms.

- The Chaser -
Claudia continued chewing on her food as she tried to get use to her new arm. It was strange, too strange, but can also be useful. She looked at the others, Jonathan, Jade, Mira, and Alex, all at the table, eating and pondering. The doors behind them opened to reveal Luke, sweating, tired, woken up. Claudia felt she owed him, and thus stood up and jogged towards him. She took a quick look at him, concerned. "Rough night?" she asked politely.

"You could say that," Luke replied as he walked over to the dining table. His quiver was currently empty, and his mind was more or less focused on what type of arrows he could make. But then there was also the thought of having better control of his water manipulating abilities. Lilly seemed to find a different source besides anger. But I don't know how. Protection, maybe? Luke sat down pondered in thought before he looked around. "Where's Lilly?" asked Luke, slightly confused at her absence.

- The Broker -
"I've sent her off on a diplomatic mission to The Tower. Need to have a word with Knight and I figured she could do with some time away from here. It is...rather enclosing here." He took a mouthful of food, chewed it, and swallowed it. "There is also another thing. She told Ragno what happened which contradicted this morning's paper, so I need to talk to Ragno myself and keep him away from a tired Lilly." He looked down. "He always has a way of talking to people, slimy man." He leaned back in his chair and took out a sigh. "This work is tiring, might do my job beside the pool today if lucky." - The Chaser -
The tense situation with Lilly only hammered it home with Luke, and it made Claudia uncomfortable. She approached the table before catching something with her eye. "Everyone", she said nervously as she picked up a spoon. "I don't mean to be rude...but we have an eavesdropper in the room". She quickly spun around and fired the spoon at a nearby butterfly. - Benedict Strahm -
Benedict won only fifty, small amount, though it wasn't the ridiculous sum he won the previous night, but was still satisfied. He took off, cashed his chips and made his way out the door, bypassing a woman in a red outfit on the way. Benedict twitched his eye for a small moment...the woman looked familiar....as if.....he jumped into his vehicle, and started to make his way to The Citadel.

Reaver's smiled as the man twitched at her, making a note of his face. Interesting... She crossed the room and took up a position at a poker game, and proceeded to cheat and slight of hand her way to some big payouts. It was good to have some time off. - The Speaker -
Ragno ate a scrumptious breakfast prepared for him by his personal chef, before selecting a fashionably cut suit and preparing himself. He made his way out the building to a waiting limousine, and as the car drove off started to flick through the paper, occasionally chuckling to himself.

Luke helped himself to some bacon and eggs as he listened to what The Broker had to say, and sensed that Claudia was uncomfortable. However his mind was still focused on somehow getting to the city somehow back to his old apartment. "Oh right," Luke added as he heard The Broker was finished. "Actually I was wondering if-" However he was cut off by Claudia, and he saw her throw a spoon at a nearby butterfly. He raised an eyebrow. "I think it's just a butterfly." Luke then turned back to The Broker. "Anyway I was meaning to ask you, do you have some type of vehicle I could use. Preferably a motorbike or something since I want to get back into the city." - Raven -
Lilly continued to drive into the city, though her driving was slightly more reckless than normal. Her turns were more sharp and the car was travelling faster than it ought to be; she barely even remembered where The Tower was, let alone know how it worked. However she couldn't mistake the imposing building, with a roof that peaked over other buildings in the background, and she was getting closer.

- Blackbird -
She only started to walk down the street, passing two kids who was staring at her as they had seen her chang, she only smiled at them before continuing along the street. She was huming a small melody, a song from the animal kingdom really, but the tune was nice even in the human thoung. She where more or les alone again, not this depressed as before, but she was still lonley. If she only knew how people brefriend others, in the wild it was mostly smell and thouch whit a samll amount of interaction, the humans only talked and at rare times thouched by holding hands for a moment. - Fear -
Fear lett a low "humpfh" out as she got up from the bench and started to walk along the road for some secounds, then she was gone. On another part of the cithy she reaperd, facing the buildning known as The Tower. Calm she walked up to one of the guards. "Hi, I'm known as Fear and whas resently involved in some drastick events. May you please tell me how to get in contact whit Starlass or another person in charge so I can get things sorted?" Her voice was calm as normal, even some kind of friendly, she only whanted to get her thoughts out of the world... - Charm -
Some time had gone, during that time she had found herselof a nice cloth store driven by a young man. It had not been hard for her to convince the boy to let her leave the store whit a new sett of cloths whitout paying. And ina quit similar way she had gottend hold of nice sum of money. Now whering a short, but elegant black dress whit her belt whit the battery hiden on her back around her hips atop. Some nice black higheals, a expensive long black jacket and a big hand bag where she had hiden her old cloths. Al of it really showing off her supermodel boody, she now enterd a casino. No one would probaly know her face, she had only been out and around the cithy for a few days. Only people who had met her would know of her, but that was not alot of people. She where at least not able to see any of them in the casino while looking around. So she whit a big smile on her face whent strait for one of the black jack tables, placing a nice bet and flirty smiling to the men around the table...

Ragno's limo left the city and began approaching the titanic structure that was the Citadel. "I seem to speand a lot of time here these days..." He commented, folding the paper as they drove onto the bridge.
