About training, I'd like to start as soon as possible. When you are ready tell me where we can meet.

[Written Note left on Yang's bed table, more so that she won't worry.]
I'll be out the house for a little while. I need to clear my head.

[Text to Mewtwo]
Are you still needing help with the Hands of Decay? Looks like I'm up to working with people again.

What's the best place to get tea around here?



[After the events of Weiss's announcement, Blake felt cagey and restless. She knew that the girl was trying to do her best and maybe her plan would even work, but she didn't trust those three even a bit. Rather than stay inside and pace and brood it was best to get out. She also felt it more urgent than ever to become a better huntress and maybe that meant branching out from what Beacon could offer. So she sent a message to Dante and then Mewtwo. At least, it was productive. And possibly less disastrous than giving into the urge to hunt down Torchwick and describe exactly what she would do if he betrayed Weiss - she wasn't sure she would be able to quell the urge to shoot him in the face while she was doing it. So, it was probably best to distract herself.

She should probably check in with Levy too. After all, she had a job here. Even though she had found a good number of books she didn't want to slack now. ]

Scenario A:Run into Blake on her way to Fayren
Scenario B:Run into Blake visiting Levy's shop in Fayren
(ooc:open to other ideas/places if you have them.)

[Have a very tired looking Mewtwo.]

Very well. I have been working on a plan that may expose them, and will likely need all the help possible in carrying it out. For now, I have a number of places of interest I would like to keep under surveillance for the time being, I will forward that list to you. All I ask right now is that you report any suspicious activity and wait for backup to arrive before engaging.

[Blake knows that if she sees someone about to get kidnapped or killed there's no way she'll watch passively. However, the likelihood of them trying that in broad daylight seems unlikely and reckless.]

That shouldn't be a problem. Keeping to the shadows is kind of my thing. I can also contact one of my team mates if things look hairy. They are all capable fighters.

My shop is connected to Attleton through one of the subgates. It's easy enough to find. Just find the gate into a run down dead-end street with a strip club on the corner and my place is at the end.

Slum Street is deserted enough to give us ample of space to spar, and now that I've got access to my toy box, I can accommodate virtually any fighting style you want to train against.

I'm also there most of the time, but if I don't meet you in the street feel free to come in and kick me awake. Oh, and if you don't mind, a friend of mine is here and she might be able to see things I don't when we spar.

Got it.

Sounds good. Hopefully it won't come down to me needing it too soon, but I have to be prepared.

I won't mind the extra input. The more I can learn the better.

Scenario B; Action

[skilledwithwords]

[Levy is currently at her shop checking the wards she had set and trying to make them more comprehensive. She wants to protect her employees as well as use the shop as a safe haven should it be needed. The news paper worries her and she can't banish the knot that's settling in her stomach.

There is a strange pen in her hand as she writes in a language that Blake probably hasn't seen before. It glows for a moment and then settles on the ground around the shop only to vanish. After a second Levy looks up, her hazel eyes falling on Blake.]

How are you doing?

[She tries to sound as if everything is okay.]

Re: Scenario B; Action

[fade_to_black]

It's a half glass sort of situation. A lot's happened since I last saw you. [She was back with her team which she still couldn't believe and she was sleeping better. Well, sleeping curled up against Yang made it hard not to sleep well. But, two, maybe three of their known enemies were granted immunity in Nova City and Blake was just waiting for the other shoe to drop.]

What about you? Have things been busy at the shop? I was wondering if you had new assignments for me. [She thought Levy seemed nervous. Maybe it was years of being on the move and living under the radar, but she was good at picking up when someone was tense.]

There's a shop in Genessia that serves good black tea. I'm rather fond of it.

Re: video

[fade_to_black]

Good to know. I like black tea myself. How have you been?

Action

[azaleafae]

[Azalea is flying low over Fayren when she happens to see Blake walking along. Since they had spoken briefly on the network, Azalea decides to stop and say hi. She lands in front of Blake, several feet away.]

Hello. I think we've spoken recently through our devices. I hope I didn't startle you...

Re: Action

[fade_to_black]

Azalea. [It wasn't a question. A little flying lizard - there was only one of those Blake had seen in Genessia.]

No. I'm kind of hard to startle. [She smiled. Now if you'd be a flying dog...]
Must be nice to be able to fly.

[whiteas]

Teanie Teas is my personal favorite, plus Luke typically has puzzles and things to do when you come in.

Re: video;

[fade_to_black]

I'll check it out.

Maybe we could all go together sometime. [When was the last time they had done something as a group?]

Scenario B

[namemeansbeauty]

[Belle was making sure she made copies of what books they had at the library and all the while also trying to do multiple jobs. It was just nice when she could get a break and just hand in some books. But it seemed that Levy right now wasn't here, so Belle was quietly waiting, a small bag of books on her arm as she tapped her high heeled shoe lightly to a beat of her own.

When she head the doorbell, it was enough to get her to turn her head slightly.]

Hello there. Planning on getting a book to?

Re: Scenario B

[fade_to_black]

Oh, I have plenty to read. [It really didn't take Blake long to start building a little collection of her own.] But if there's something new out that's good I may read it next.

[She stops herself from going on too much about her love of books.] I'm Blake. I do book hunting for Levy. I was just checking in.

[Video]

[redcinemareel]

You know, I was wondering that myself. I've been to exactly one shop, and it was average.

[With working so much, she hasn't had time to explore other tea shops.]

If you find something worth mentioning, do let me know. I'll also keep an eye out.

Re: [Video]

[fade_to_black]

My friend Weiss says that Teanie Teas is a good place. I may go find out for myself after I'm done with work. [What better way to end the day?]

[strawberrypenguin]

I believe one could find a tea shop around somewhere. That or a grocery store.

Re: video;

[fade_to_black]

The grocery stores have tea, it's just nice to find an actual place to stop by and sit down and read. Though my friend did suggest Teanie Teas.

[youfool]

Teanie Teas, run by my friend Luke Triton, is popular, and for good reason.

[fade_to_black]

That seems to be the popular opinion.

Video

[lookprofessor]

[Luke is waving tiredly at the camera, but he seems a bit...sad? Disappointed might be a better word.

After all, he'd gotten along well with Blake the last time she'd been here--she'd even considered working in the tea shop for some time.]

Hi Miss Belladonna. I've a tea shop, if you'd like--there are a lot of different blends of tea to try, also, so I'm sure you'll find one you'd like.

Re: Video

You know my name? [The Faunus blinks in surprise.]

[ There is a tiny catgirl pushing a wheelbarrow covered with a straw mat through the cobblestone streets. ]

Heya, sis! Nice ribbon!

Re: A

[fade_to_black]

[Blake turns and stops cold. While in Genessia she'd met humans and many other beings but this is the first person like her she's seen since speaking to Velvet over the network. And with ears like her.]Th-thanks. Are you...a faunus?

Tea Shop (added in for people that would like to run into her there)

[fade_to_black]

[Once she was wrapping up her day, Blake made her way towards the tea shop that everyone was talking about. She was kind of looking forward to this. She hadn't actually been out to have tea in a while. She might try a chai blend today.

She walked stepped in and...]

a)Talk to her at the counter
b)Talk to her while she's sitting with her tea

A

[koishi_komeiji]

Blake had scarcely walked in the door when something small, green, and very happy entered her vision. "Miss Shade! Hello!" Miss Shade? Before Blake could question the odd nickname Koishi attached herself to the faunus, giving her a firm squeeze. Fortunately, she let go just as quickly.

"I'm really happy to see you again Miss. And I'm really happy you found this place. There's such delicious tea here!" A pause. "You like tea, right?"
