1st Void | [video]
[A man, or at least you might think he is a man (he is) sits before one of the computers. He didn't think this technology would be used by him again, but apparently so. Clearly, it was a tad different from what he was used to, but his memories allowed him to recall something so basic. His voice came, nearly echoing through that armor.]
I am Hakumen.
I am sure you are used to this, so I will not bother asking questions I can have answered with another. The foulness of this tower, and some of its residents that I assume you are aware of, has managed to distract me from another goal.
To cut this short, I need only those that know the following names:
Ragna the Bloodedge, Terumi or Hazama, Rachel Alucard, Valkenhayn Hellsing, Noel Vermilion, Tsubaki Yayoi, Relius Clover, Tager or The Red Devil, Jin Kisaragi, or the Grimalkin--I mean Kokonoe.
[You could easily tell that some of these names were not ones he liked to speak of.]
That is all. Do not waste my time.

Re: [Video]
So there is at least one who knows of me, yet I do not know you. State what you know about the names of those mentioned.
[Quick and blunt, because he was curious.]
Re: [Video]
Well I'm friends with Noel and Tsubaki. We were classmates back in the Academy... Jin vanished into Kagutsuchi last I heard, and Ragna is supposed to be that criminal with the bounty on his head, right?
Re: [Video]
Tell me then, beastkin, are you aware of what Hazama and Relius Clover have done?
[Her life depended on these questions now. She didn't seem like she worked for Hazama and Clover, but he needed to make sure.]
Re: [Video]
I've got a name you know, it's Makoto Nanaya!
[Sigh]
Hazama is the head of the Intelligence Division of the NOL. And Colonel Relius ... is a freak in a gimp mask. Look, wouldn't this sort of conversation be better handled in person?
[Circumstances aren't exactly normal at the moment afterall. I mean, she's been thrown around through dimensions (TWICE), Hazama isn't to be trusted (and who's surprised?) and Tsubaki and Noel are in danger, but could this guy be the real Hakumen? Mouthing off everything she knows on what's apparently a public terminal isn't smart regardless of where she is.]
Re: [Video]
[That would be best at any rate, maybe a better assessment of Makoto and to see if she wasn't a threat. Clearly, she worked for those two.]
Re: [Video]
I'll be in the Library, floor three.
[And now she'll just be switching off this feed and waiting.]

[action]
[From the moment Hakumen's laid eyes on her, Makoto's been in his face, poking and prodding armor carefully. She's... very thorough. And equally shameless.]
Ooohohohohohohooo maaaannnn~♥ This is so. frikkin'. cool. Where do you even get gear like this? Online? Yeah. Online. Most definitely. This is waaaaaaaaay better than that fake super-sentai crap they ham up on TV. Do the eyes on the armor move? better not touch those...
[She does anyway.]
And your hair! I wouldn't have expected it to be so... so... ehehe... downright frikkin' fabulous given all the fightin' you must do. What shampoo do you use? C'mon, you can tell me. It's L’Oréal, isn't it? Because you're definitely worth it.
Re: [action]
[Before Hakumen could even react, his eyes had to keep tabs on her as she examined every part of him. Had he real eyes under that mask, he might have looked confused. He recalled Tsubaki's fangirl actions were amusing, but this...this was far stranger than he imagined.
Those eyes do move, though try not to look too closely at Makoto's outfit. Between her and Litchi, he wondered if more women would dress less decently. He sighs through the armor.]
All of that is information that is not important. [Come to think of it though, trapped in the edge all this time, he probably did need a clean-up.] I would ask that you restrain your enthusiasm for now. We have more important matters to discuss now.
Re: [action]
stillgonna have a ladyboner over this one. Hakumen was right though. It's srsbzns time, and while it may take Makoto a moment to get over herself, she does take on a notably business-like demeanor]Hehe, sorry, bit of a nerdgasm there, but I had to make sure you were legit, y'know? However, after rather ~extensive~ testing, I'd say you fit the bill. Naturally my squirrel-senses are never wrong.
[And she's damn proud of that granted how far her chest's sticking out - probably to Hakumen's displeasure.]
You wanted to know about the others, right? Well it's a bit of a long story so I'll give ya' the cliffnotes:
Hazama, Relius and the Imperator are all in cahoots with eachother, and last I saw they've taken my friend Tsubaki with them. Until now I've been working under Sector Seven, but for the longest time they've stashed me deep undercover in NOL territory, and trust me, taking orders directly from that snake Hazama is the crappiest deal I've ever had the pleasure of enduring. Thank-you-very-much.
Re: [action]
No. Going back to the past was dangerous. Focus on the now. But wait, she worked with Kokonoe? This could complicate things...]
Sector Seven. Tell me, do you work for the Grimalkin then?
[action]
[It's more accurate to say Makoto works for herself and is only allied with Sector Seven because it benefits her goals. She's not at all interested in dragging you off to Kokonoe, so rest easy hero.]
Re: [action]
[action]
[Of course that doesn't mean she wouldn't be interested in what Hakumen has to say about her new boss... Some dirt would be nice. Y'know. For insurance.]
What's this about Kokonoe anyhow? You find out if she and the Red Devil are hittin' it off or somethin? Cause, y'know... While we're here I wouldn't mind any particularly juicy details...
Re: [action]
For now, while Terumi, who you call Hazama, is the larger threat, the Grimalkin is storing nuclear weapons, the very ones mankind used in vain to destroy the black beast. I need not repeat the tale of that, do I? She can hardly be trusted with such a threat in the palm of her claws.
[action]
[Hazama. Her former "Captain" -- so his real name is Terumi, huh? Committing that to memory for later.]
Re: [action]
That is how I discovered the alarming number of nuclear weapons stored away.
[Naturally, he doesn't sound too pleased about finding them either. Of course.]
[action]
Ok. So I'm guessing we're talkin' more than just two or three huh? Wishful thinking? Gotcha. Sounds about right.
[Oh, that's lovely. The problems just keep piling up. Good thing she's been trained for this sorta thing ... kinda.]
Well, the good news is, I couldn't see the Boss-lady shooting off nukes unless it was an absolute last resort. The BAD new is there's not much we can do to stop that from here... That's our problem.
Re: [action]
[And back home, they were another threat just waiting to be unleashed, if not Ragna himself posing as yet another variable that could destroy everything. Didn't help that the state of the Six Heroes only kept getting worse. Nine was dead, Terumi wasn't an option now, Hakumen's power was reduced to 20%, Trinity was sharing a body with the idiot magical girl Jubei was teaching, Valkenhyn was stuck as Rachel's servant and aged, and Jubei was no doubt still hurt by the magic, and he might have been in the best shape out of all of them.]
Regarding those two, I doubt I would need to explain why avoiding fighting them is within your best interest.
[action]
Yeah, thanks for the heads up, but I'm afraid that option's just not in the cards. Never was. I know for a fact that those two weirdos are responsible for Tsubaki's supposed face-heel, not to mention the pain they've already put Noel through... I've come way too far and put up with way too much of their bull to just back down now. This isn't about the Librarium anymore, or Sector Seven, or whatever the hell those loons are trying to pull. It's about my friends.
[Those are her guns and she's sure as hell stickin' to them!]
Anyhow, s'up with the concern? If you're worried about lil' Makoto you could always just tag along, and if cats really DO spook you I'll sweeten the deal by doing everything in my power to keep the Boss' paws off you. Scouts honor.
[She never did care much for the scouts.]
Re: [action]
[There was truth to those words. Maybe if she was there, she could have actually prevented Tsubaki's death and just left him to die. That would have been the better option, at least part of him says that. This girl would be doomed to perish if she remained on her path if she continued.
He went to reach for his sword. This was the only way. He needed to see for himself. Ookami was drawn, pointed at her.]
Then I shall be a test of your justice. Makoto Nanaya, if you choose to go on this path, draw your weapon and fight!
1/2 [action]
2/2 [action]
Well hey, if you're serious about this...
[Makoto drops into a stance, a little more cautious than her usual bouncing]
No better place than the Library for you to get schooled! C'mon!
[She's no stranger to fighting opponents with superior reach. The first and most critical step will be to get close, which is exactly why she begins to charge headlong into range. And she's fast at that. Crazily so.]
Re: 2/2 [action]
[Extremely fast, but not as fast as the cat. Hakumen brings up his arm, a blue shield surrounding it just as Makoto got close. Rather than stop her, once the blow connected, he would thrust out his own palm, intending to strike and push her away.]
[action]
R-R-Rapid~!
