Gage glanced over the short response, agreeing that it would be better to sit in the warmer coffee shop. Turning to face the window he see's her, another middle age woman sitting with her face nearly facing him only. 'Well I suppose that is her. If not then she is just being weird.' Gage heads to the front door, the small bell tolling over head as he feels a wall of warm wash over him. The cold starting to seep out of his body he was able to start sensing the smaller things in the area, feeling about until he finds her, most definitely the most dangerous thing in this block. Not because she was strong but because she was just strong enough to draw the attention of the nearby hollows if there were any left after the attack on the city.
"Hey there, nice to meet you. Gage," Gage walks over and offers her his hand in a shake. It was about to be the deciding factor in whether or not she would work with him. He was stretched thin, needing help on his many projects and jobs. Not counting the time that he spends making sure that there are no hollows stalking him or his side of town because of his ambient energy. "I posted the ad looking for exceptional people with more than normal assets."
While she sat amused as she watched Gage shuffle through the snow and slush of the street inside. The little bell sharpening her comfortable senses ever so little, the details of Gage begun to draw into focus. The cup-handle was still strung by her fingers, the left elbow perched and continuing to mantle her sleepy head; her eye was sharp and dark violet in color- Looking close to black in the dim-lighting; notably her right eye was shut and showed no motion to open anytime soon.
In her seat she was nuzzled comfortably, her attire was rather simple in appearance and wearing a bit of an unorthodox haori of worn grey. But judging by her otherwise ignored appearance it didn't seem terribly out of place. The contrasted features of the woman left a unusual setting charm, a strong jaw and sharp features. But her expression was relaxed and soft, perhaps the environment of where they resided was at factor despite it looking so natural. As he drew his hand to shake, her eye looked to it a moment and motioned to the empty seat across from her- All done while still holding her coffee cup sifting its alluring aroma around the two of them. "Have a seat Gage. I am Chance Akame, order a coffee and we can chat. As your ad spoke, I have such intricacies. Whether or not they coincide with your wishes we'll discuss." her tone was much different than when she spoke to the waitress, it was amused while still carrying the grindy tone of age and minuscule signatures of apathy. In the moment, she lifted her cup upwards to signal the waitress to come over.
She seemed friendly enough but certainly no one really spoke like that, the only time he ever heard someone speak in such...proper English being on movies or in books. "Thank you for meeting with me." Opening up the jacket he folds it over the back of the chair and waves his hand at the coffee barista. His shirt was a nice black button up shirt, untucked over a pair of blue jeans. "Its cold out tonight. Didn't expect to get a call on that ad...well ever really. It seemed that I was just wasting money but lets see what it dredged up." Gage smiled at the young woman and placed an order for a frozen mocha latte. He didn't really care for hot coffee even with the weather.
"I am looking for someone, if not multiple people, to work for me. The pay is per job and can more than compensate for your labor. That being said there are things about the work that demand a very intensive skill set. What kind of skills do you have?" Gage sits back, putting one leg on his knee so that his can relax, rubbing his eyes with one hand as he still had only just woken up a few minuets ago. His hair was disheveled but he seemed to not mind, he was a loner and it seemed to take its tole on his presentation.
With a careful motion of her coffee hand; the cup itself having resided on the table for the moment. As if she merely flourished with her speech "AS you may notice, I am only one person. As for your ambiguously described intensive skill-set, I'll need to know a bit more of what you aim for." After she spoke, her hand reached for the coffee set at the table, finishing it off in smooth motion and gulp. Placing it carefully near the edge, but not too close so the waitress knew to refill it for her. Having waited a moment in silence she adjusted her position to sitting upwards, her back slouched ever-so slightly indicating a continued comfort. Either elbow were now resting on the table at shoulder length apart, hands lifted up and interweaving with the other's finger near her mouth. "In a short and sweet term, I am a vagabond with aptitude in .. Bruiser-esque work, it isn't pretty but it pays. Beyond my typical pursuits I have training in hunting, cooking, uncouth conversational skills when I get acquainted." her tone suggested some lesser seriousness nearing the end there. If anyone were to give her a more appropriate title, it would be a mercenary.
Her eye drifted over as the waitress filled her cup with coffee and presented Gage his own drink. Afterwards Chance gave the girl a brief sweep of her hand indicating to leave, resuming her previous position and hand placements. "And I don't like the word working for, I'll work with you. An ad such as yours suggests it may have risks of the otherworldly. If someone or something goes out to lunch with their requests, and I find them ill-advised, I walk. Life-security and all that." Wrapping her index and middle finger through the cup handle, she lifted it and took a sip. Her eye rested staring and unblinking on Gage's, she wasn't insecure that much was clear with the conviction in her gaze.
Gage watched her speak in silence, his hands placed one on top of the other. She did come alone, as she said and as far as he can tell from the energy in the area. They were really the only two things out here that were even worth knowing about on the grand scale. "Well the work is easy enough to get done. I work full time in Development and Design of spiritual equipment. I am looking to get the human race ready to fight a war that is coming, whether or not they are willing to accept that it is nearing. The work is that I need material. I have tons of projects, my spare time making sure that the streets in my neighborhood are clear of Hollows but I-" Gage stops and takes a drink of his coffee," I need help. I am getting stretched too thin and my work is suffering because of it. I can feel that I am close to a break through but I am spending so much time out there on the streets and in the field that I can't keep up with what work I have at home."
Gage smiles at her comment about the 'bruiser-esque' work. If she was telling the truth then she would do just fine. All he needed to do was get a feel for what she was capable of to decide if she would be worth taking on. "You cook too?" Gage thinks back to the last time he didn't order food in the exact time not coming to mind. "Okay fine, we will find out what you can do and if you can cut the scratch then I will...We will figure out how you would like to work with me. Deal?" Gage drinks some more of his frozen coffee, the slushy drink chilling him internally but he was happy none the less. It was a good day. Definitely a good day.
"Cut the scratch? Never heard that before." she commented rather dryly. A quiet spell passed over her, looking down with her one eye to the cup and dipped her head a moment as if a nod. Reaching down she took a long sip of the cup; disregarding its heat. "I never said I cooked well, passable if it matters. And I suppose you slipped a bit, but it's no harm to the situation- Speaking the name Hollow clarifies the meeting." briefly flashing a smile. Resting the cup down with little sound echoing from its connecting to the table.
Having laid back some into the chair, her rested face stared at him a moment as she pondered his final comment. "And what did you have in mind to test me; I presume that is the direction you were driving to. If it's to simply keep streets clear, I'm sure I could assist with that. Helps me keep from getting rusty in the circumstance of no-jobs if it ever comes to it." She had pinched either side of the open haori and tucked it closer closed, while she had plenty of clothing underneath, it was more of a motion of keeping warmth and enjoying the tone of the sitting. After-all, it wasn't off to say she was expecting a fanatic or some twisted hunter to respond to her message in-person. So someone who's a bit over-zealous with their tech was something far more suitable and of course manageable.
"Well I suppose the best way to find out if you can make it out here on your own is by letting out make it on your own. There is a hollow on the east side of town. I have been keeping an eye on it because of some...unique traits that it seems to be showing." Gage finishes off his coffee and looks out side, the cold weather letting way to a soft layer of snow that was falling. He loved it, the snow something that he grew up without, his home being a place that was wet during the winter and dry during the summer. Perhaps one day he would go home but as for right now he needed a way to concentrate on his work.
"This thing is special in that I have gone out to catch it twice. Both times it has gotten away because of its power. It can-" Gage looks over at the barista that was completely ignoring them," It can clone itself mid battle. I have killed off the clones and I have killed off the original but both encounters one of them happened to get away. The significance that one of the clones got away and it was still a problem is that its powers and strength is passed on to a clone when they are created. If I can get my hands on it that would make for an endless supply of testing subjects that I need. Badly. If you can get that hollow we will talk about a retainer and a stipend." Gage reaches into the breast pocket of his jacket and pulls out a manila envelope, filled with a small bundle of bills. "It calls itself the 'Kurōn'."
She hadn't shifted from her leaned position. Only simply holding out a halt motion with her hand, closing her left eye with a brief shake of her head. "Hold onto your money for now." Her chest expanded some, taking a deep contemplative breathe; weighing the difficulty of a Hollow that had such a capable ability. She was of course unsure if she could handle something of that magnitude alone, but it was of course- Her initiative that led to this particular situation.
Re-opening her eye it kept its sharp observant tone, but half-lidded giving the juxtaposition of calm in a storm. Reaching for her drink, gracefully sliding her index finger along the neck of the cup. "I'll give it a go. I'll take the payment if and when I succeed. Got to pay for food somehow after-all. I suspect it will be an interesting challenge all things considered." Finalizing her comment, she wrapped her fingers around the cup and brought it up to her lip, inhaling gently the aroma afore taking a sip. Her attention still rested on Gage. "What's your expectation for time-frame? I imagine a Hollow that is as slippery as you claim, won't be something I will fluke on the first try- While as appealing as it sounds." For now she wielded the cup near her mouth, as if teasing it to get drank, but never doing so.
If there was an expression to describe her, was a soft sleepy appearance; but underneath held some aversion to the thought. It would be combat against something in its' own element and with the advantage of numbers.
Gage leans out and takes the money, sliding it back into his pocket as he looks over at the barista again. She had seen this time that he had offered the envelope and then taken it back. She was shooting him an odd look, one of mild concern and possible danger. He was after all a strange man meeting a woman in the night with a envelope full of what could only be suspected to be cash. Looking at his new partner he smiles, taking note of her odd eye behavior, the extra motion from one eyes or lack of motion from the other catching his attention. "Time wise? I think two days will work. Get me that thing in two days and you can consider yourself employed. Keep in mind though," Gage stands and picks up his jacket and slips it on," You have two days to bring it to me ALIVE. Otherwise consider this a No Go." Grabbing his empty cup he walks over to a trashcan and tosses it away. "You know how to get a hold of me so when you have it let me know and I will come to you." Gage holds his hand out for a final good by shake.
"Two days it is then. I'll reach out once I have the results, passable or not." Her eye left a careful moment of consideration on his hand. Although reluctant she reached out with her right hand and shook with a firm and calloused grip. Upon releasing she looked back to her cup, after-all the man hadn't much left to say she imagined.
A lot of her actions were twisted and confusing, she presented herself very informally- relaxed and content with what she was given and how it was delivered. But underneath the covers her mind and motion were unorthodox and stern in execution. She had waited until Gage left. Till she wrapped her fingers into the simple glass-cup staring at the ripples that formed in contact with her hand in touch. It was calming to know she had a physical presence, ironic with her powers that lulled dormant until she needed it. Drawing the cup up she took a sip. "Capture a hollow huh-- Never done that before." her voice was quiet, enough for her own ears to hear. The waitress was off cleaning and otherwise the shop was quiet. How the isolationist in Tokyo liked it, another saddened reality to the woman. But none-the-less something she dealt with on a daily basis.
The night was quiet, she had paid her bill and the man's as a symbol of good favor. Her haori was snugged closed, strangely enough it was all she wore for a coat. As if the cold greeted her in its sadistic and welcomed arms. There she was, no shivering, chittering or uncomfort- she stood outside the closing shop with her head looking to the void sky. The white breaks of snow falling like feathers, pools of snow scattered near her feet given the time she gathered her thoughts and body for the coming storm. "So the hunt begins. Kurōn I'm coming, I hope we're both ready."
A short ride later Gage was back at his house, heading down into the hallway that leads to the workshop. It only took about two minutes for Gage to make it to the other side of the hallway, the long tunnel making for a rather amusing drag strip. The bike was able to break over 160mph in the distance that the tunnel stretched before he had to start slowing down for the next door. Climbing off the bike he kickstands it up and walks into the workshop, Lani up on the screen with her trademark glass clipboard. Descending from the ceiling the arms lower the skeletal frame onto the work table all assembled and cut. “Alright Lani, Go ahead and measure out the sizes for the hydraulics. It’s time to get back to work.” Gage lays back into the seat, his hands laying on the merger handles so that he can start the Soul Convergence.
The entrance to the world is the same as it always is, fading vision and the impossibly loud tone of the speakers notifying him that the transfer is complete. Appearing in his virtual workshop Gage walks up the table. “Show me what we have as far as the layout for the hydraulics.” A small swarm of pistons and servos swim through the air and settle into their own positions so that a small school of bolts can fly into place and screw them down. All in all the whole project was really settling into completion, the frame completely finished with silicone pads where the high impact points are. The three over head arms work in a bee like system, weaving their way around each other to get pistons and bolts locked into place and tightened down.
It was indeed coming along nicely. Within thirty minutes of his arrival the last of the pistons is bolted into place, giving the suit a decently finished look, even though it was missing an outer layer of protection. “Alright Lani, lets get this thing on. I don’t want to find out it doesn’t work in two days after we have the whole thing finished.” ‘Sir, I should warn you that we have not tested the sensitivity of the servos and if they are out of calibration then there is a good chance that they will actually injure you.’ “Stop that nonsense, we designed it and you wrote the program for the servos. I am confident that the suit will work just fine. Get this thing ready for assembly. I wanna give it a fitting.”
‘Yes Sir,’ Gage crosses his arms as the arms freeze for a moment, getting new instructions from Lani and changing their actions. Walking forward the arms pulls the shoulders down to the elbows off the suit, bolts whirring as they release the limbs. Settling them onto Gages arms he outstretches his hands, the biceps of the suit opening like a pipe split in two so that he can insert his arms. Closing down several automated servos seal down, locking them in place. It is like that that the whole suits moves, splitting apart only to bolt itself together on his body like a shell, armoring his body with steel and iron. Grinning he looks at the suit come together coating his body like that of an exterior skeleton. The last piece to settle in is the breast plate, Gage holding out his arms to the side with his eyes scrunched up because if anything were to pinch him this would be the worst spot, the massive shell settling into place, the last of the servos locking down so that there is no more exposed skin.
“Great job Lani,” Gage opens and closes his hands, the servos whirring slightly at the motion of his body. Everything was in a constant state of adjustment, moving so that they were keeping up with the movement of his body. Crouching down Gage jumps, the servos whining to keep up but still slightly slower than he would have been able to. His vertical clearance was normally upwards of ten to fifteen feet without trying but with the resistance of the suit he was only able to get up to six feet, his hand having to go up to touch the ceiling to keep his head from crashing into it. However rather than gently touching the ceiling he drives his palm into the metal with enough force to bend the plate of one inch thick steel, the concrete underneath it cracking audibly like an iceberg.
An audible beep catches his attention, Gage landing down on one knee, his right hand catching his body. He felt as if he was sitting in water, his body suspended from all angles by the silicone padding, the contact points getting slightly warmer from the silicone suffocating the skin. “Lani, speed is down, reaction time on the servos is also lacking. When we reassemble use electric pistons, the hydraulic ones are stronger but they are bogging me down.”
“Yes sir, by swapping to LEXICON MICRO CORP electric pistons we will lose 22% overall strength but reaction speed will raise to match yours within .03 seconds. Also there will be an increased drain on the power cell causing the energy levels to reach critical levels within four hours of non strenuous work,” Alright. If the new servos are going to over draw on the energy cells then let’s go ahead and work on that. “Let’s get this thing off and get those new servos on there. I barely keep up on the field as it is and I don’t need anything else slowing me down more than I already am.” Gage watches as the arms work their magic, disassembling the suit around him and reassembling it on the table, pieced together so that it appears as if it had never been put on. “While you are at it, throw the armor plating on there with my maneuvering jets from my combat suit.”
“Yes sir, any I am sensing some hot spots where you skin was in contact with the silicone. Would you like me to add in a temperature monitoring system?” Gage stops and thinks about it a moment before deciding that it was probably a good idea. “Yeah, do that and add in an air filtration system into the head piece, just use whatever you can find on the militaries most recent designs.” Gage stretches, the suit was also a bit
