Prancing around Vale was a petite dog faunus swinging around a suitcase full of...something. She had yet to check. Just earlier she was on her way back to the dorms after a quick visit to the local pub. She was trying to get info on who had what nowadays and maybe pick-pocketed a few knickknacks on her way out but just before she left she saw a group of suited punks mumbling over what seemed to be a suitcase shimmering with goodies then leaving it beneath a table so she could pick it up herself! How kind!  That was one of the easiest swipes Kei had ever done her whole life, it was as if those punks were practically handing out the suitcase by leaving it out in the open while they took a smoke.

After leaving the building Kei heard an uproar followed by gunshots and people storming out of the pub dropping whatever drinks they had as the gang of goons started interrogating every single nearby soul who had a suitcase. Quickly darting for an alleyway Kei pranced off and emerged with a huge grin on her face thinking she just got away with easy loot till she ran into a tree in the middle of the sidewalk, well at least it could've been a tree seeing as how the girl was. Seven feet tall...almost eight actually.

"Ah! I'm so sorry, please don't hurt me! Kei stammered, immediately picking her innocent persona lest it be someone she knew. Unfortunately, she was."You...we're in the same classes right? Mithra or something? Sorry I'm very bad at names.

Apologizing right off the bat Kei's eyes widened as she saw that the suitcase had plopped open after falling on the ground revealing a few precious stones worth a small fortune. Why did it have to be today that I ran into someone I knew? Shit, how do I explain this one...

[Seig]

The massive faunus had accidentally knocked someone over....again. "Oh geeze! I am s so sorry! Here, let me help you!" Getting down on her knees, Mithra quickly picked up the colorful gems, too busy trying to not be yelled at to really think about what they were. "I'm such an idiot." She thrusted a handful of gems into the suitcase, only snapping at of it when her name was called. She tilted her head up and blinked, finally recognizing her classmate. "Oh! Hi Kei. I didn't recognize you for a moment." The Faunus girl quickly switched her worried expression for a smile, almost on a dime. She finished picking up the gems and handed her classmate the suitcase. Mithra brushed her hair back into place, before standing up, awkwardly looking down at the much shorter girl.

Now came the difficult part. Social Interaction. What do I say that isn't creepy?! I just ran her over! I can't say I didnt see you, that would be rude. Maybe just say I'm an idiot? No that makes me sound weird. GAH! Why is this so hard!" Eventually Mithra managed to blurt out, "What are you doing in town?"

[Kellenredx]

The offending lack of curly straws at Vale's new, 'hip' coffee joint was not only offensive but it ensured they would not be getting Zwei's business again. The dark circles and bags under Zwei's half-open eyes were even more prominent today than usual. The straight straw coming out from the coffee cup had been slipped between the metallic mask the boy wore and his scarred chin so he can happily sip the drink. It was a mystery to himself how he had slept in so late and yet he was still groggy.

It must have been due to his half-conscious state but as he forced himself down the street, a glint in the corner of his eye quickly drew his attention and like a greedy bird, he found himself headed towards the distraction absentmindedly without another thought about it. It wasn't until he was a few meters away that all the gems had been put back in the suitcase and the caffeine suddenly kicked in and his back straightened. He muttered to himself something about the shine he had seen a moment before, mocking himself for being distracted so easily.

It took another moment for Zwei to notice the giant nearby and another smaller girl with a suitcase. Although it was none of his business he was certainly curious enough to butt in. He slowly approached the two, leaning in as he spoke "Was uh, all that shiny stuff yours?" 

[Xarias Fury]

Tsk, someone noticed after all, just when Kei started to feel relieved that her giant friend was somewhat of a nervous wreck. In the corner of her vision, back in the alleyway she just popped out of, two suited men wearing shades - Why the shades? Seriously... - started scrounging around looking for the culprit while Kei hastily stood up.

"We gotta go, this is...well let's say a bunch of bad men are looking for it..

[FunkyMonkey]

Alexandra slowly walked over behind Zwei.  They had agreed to try out the coffee place together.  She thought it was not too bad.  A little too knew for her to settle on an opinion, but at least as far as first impressions go, it was passable to warrant coming back for another try.  Either way, she had noticed her friend heading over to talk to the two other girls, though it was disputable whether the very large one could even be called merely a girl.  Without speaking a word, so as to not interrupt him, she simply stood next to him, wondering what made his friend so bold as to bother these strangers.

As soon as she heard the smaller girl say that "bad men" were looking for the contents of her suitcase, and upon noticing her hurry, Alexandra's attention was piqued.  Still, she had to say.

[Seig]

Mithra blinked for a moment, her brain actually firing up with a complex idea. She quickly grabbed the suitcase from the small faunus and unhooked the sword from her back. "Watch this. My size can actually be of use occasionally." Mithra put the grip of her sword through the handle of the briefcase, the massive three foot wide weapon hiding it as Mithra strapped it back onto herself. "See? Perfect....even if it does dig into my back...onto our other problem.."

Mithra put on another smile as she walked over to where the two men had entered. She bounded over to the first one and stopped a foot from him his face. "Hi! Is this what you're looking for?" Before the thug could reply there was a resounding rack and the thud of flesh against flesh as Mithra's massive fist contacted his jaw. His shattered glasses fell onto the floor next to his unconscious body. As his comrade turned to face the commotion Mithra had already spun, her outstretched leg whirling around and making contact with the side of his head. With a grunt Mithra followed through, smashing the man's head between her foot and the brick wall, dropping him like a sack of bricks.

Looking down at her handiwork, Mithra quickly ran back over to the other girl. "We should probably leave...like now."

[Kellenredx]

The masked boy grunted in annoyance at the vague answer, although the mention of 'bad men' certainly caused him to perk up for a moment, as the phrase brought back memories of Saturday morning cartoon villains rather than the type Kei was referring to.
 Zwei shrugged, his curiosity had only been deepened now after hearing such a thing and as he turned his head to make a comment to Alex, he was abruptly cut off by the giant grabbing a briefcase from the smaller girl and proceeding to tenderize two guy's brains, her impressive strength matching her size, it seemed.

"You uh...just made two doctors very rich y'know? What the hell did they do to you?"

[Xarias Fury]

"Remind me not to spar with you...ever... Kei mumbled, watching the two men flop over like rag dolls. "Now, where were we...ahh right, thanks for you so much for your help and all but I need to get this somewhere. Somewhere really really far from here.

Walking ahead, Kei whistled happily as she started walking away, hoping that they wouldn't start questioning her again while coming up with another story to tell. Maybe something about bringing it to the cops, that would be perfectly acceptable, unless they asked the cops...maybe some rich acquaintance got robbed? Maybe, but if they started questioning the two goons when they woke up it'll be bad if they asked about a suitcase full of gems. Damn.

"On second thought can the lot of you accompany me? I'm not too sure how many more of these guys are out there and, well, the more the merrier, right? Accompanying those words with an innocent smile she cringed inside while looking at them with puppydog eyes.

[FunkyMonkey]

When the smaller girl asked for them to accompany her, Alexandra stood still, looking at the larger girl's reaction.  However, she realized that the smaller girl had said "you lot," probably including Zwei and her.  At this, Alexandra looked at Zwei, to see his reaction and see what he would do?  Personally, she didn't think they should get involved.  They barely knew the girl and the circumstances of the incidence, after all.  "What do you think, Zwei?" Alex asked, whispering to her teammate.

[Seig]

Mithra's smile faded after Kei's remark about her strength. "That's what everyone says..." The giant girl let out a sigh as she followed Kei. "I was honestly planning on coming with either wy. You seem like you could use some help. And I just need an excuse to get out of my dorm. I might end up going insane in there." With that said Mithra tapped the briefcase hidden behind her sword. "This must be really important to you huh? I can relate. I had someone try to steal my novel once. I can't remember being that angry before. Having important stuff taken from you sucks." Mithra brushe some of her golden hair out of her face, looking a bit nervous. "I'm rambling again aren't I? Sorry about that. Anyway. We should probably get out of here now. I'm guessing you have someplace in mind." Before leaving Mithra looked over at the weird masked boy and his cute friend. "You two should probably come with us. Bad guys tend to travel and groups. ANd I doubt they will be too happy when they found out I gave their friends concussions."

[Kellenredx]

Zwei turned his head to whisper back to Alex "Well let's see...we hardly know anything about them, they have a cool briefcase and they have badguys following them. Sounds pretty good to me!" He seemed to not realize his teammate was so uninterested in helping them.
After a moment, when the giant turned back around to suggest they come, he quickly moved to keep pace, gesturing for Alex to do the same with a small grin. Mithra did seem to have a point, although the possibility of just walking away seemed to escape his tired mind.

[Xarias Fury]

In the distance Kei could hear shouts while a small buzzing sound coming from one of the goon's radio's. It  sounded a bit urgent, probably because nobody was answering. Damn, maybe knocking these guys out wasn't the best thing to do. Sloppy Kei, really sloppy. So much for a clean getaway.

"Come on! Dashing ahead, Kei gave a quick 'come along' gesture' and lead the group to more alleyways in an attempt to lose any followers. "You might want to cover your faces, best not let these gang types remember who you are...except maybe that masked fellow. Do you always wear that?

Straying slightly from the innocent persona to a more headstrong one Kei pulled out her urchin's cap and a jacket she had from her backpack, taking care not to show any of the other loot she had lest the rest get suspicious. Only Eli and the rest of her team knew of her true nature and she was intent on keeping it that way. After tossing a few handkerchiefs to the others, even the masked boy, she scratched her head and shook it, dissatisfied with  the fact that such a conspicuous group would be impossible to not remember. Well, if things went awry she could always send Mithra to bash some heads in.  They'd forget everything they saw, just gotta avoid the cops, not that they'd be alerted to some gang's stolen goods.


"So, plan is we stay as inconspicuous as we can...even with giant girl here and...him. Kei said, once again sighing. "That or hit them so hard they can't remember what they ate for breakfast.

[FunkyMonkey]

Alexandra watched Zwei's enthusiasm with which he went along with the girl's suggestion.  She sighed, to herself, "Well, ok then."  Alexandra reached out and took a handkerchief from Kei, then looked around at the rest of the coffee shop, trying to se who else was watching this commotion.  With the handkerchief still in her hand, she said, "You know, covering our faces with handkerchiefs out in public isn't exactly the most inconspicuous way to get lost in a crowd."  Then again, Alexandra looked at Zwei's mask and the very tall girl's stature and decided that they weren't going to be very inconspicuous regardless.  She relented and tied the handkerchief to conceal her face.

[Seig]

Mithra looked around at the others before pointing to herself. "I don't think stealth is an option. On top of that fact that ummm...I'm kinda semi famous.." Mithra shifted awkwardly, still not comfortable with her success. She remembered going to her first book signing an almost having it canceled due to a panic attack. "And considering I released a new book a few weeks ago..." The giant slowly trailed off into her own thoughts for a moment. After a moment her head popped back up with a smile. "Well as long as we avoid any bookstores we should be fine right?

Not even waiting for an answer, Mithra bounded out ahead of them.

[Kellenredx]

"For your information, I do wear it all the time!" He replied, the tone of his voice somehow coming off as both annoyed and cheerful. "Have you seen the folks in this city? I'm pretty sure we'll blend in just fine!" He commented as he took the bandanna, unaware that he counted as being on the of the 'folks' who had something strange about them.

Zwei knew that simply taking off his own mask would prove a better disguise that just wearing the bandanna, but he also knew that taking it off and walking around in public was out of the question. Also the bandanna looked kind of cool. He quickly tied the piece of fabric to cover where his mouth would be under the mask, not realizing that how silly be probably looked, he tapped Alex on the shoulder while making a finger-gun gesture. "So, do I look like one of those guys from the cowboy flicks?" he joked chuckling as he did so while trying to keep pace with Mithra's long stride.
