D&D IRL (Barker)

[Onides Une]

She'd take a deep breath while shoving her notebooks in her backpack and used her sticky fingers to get down the tree. She'd head to her room to pack just a little more before facing Barker again. It was that afternoon she'd end up right on his front door giving it a good knocking.

[Sean Barker]

Barker would open the door in an apron without his costume on now. Wearing no top, but cargo pants and combat boots.

"Oh, hey. I'm baking, come in."

Barker would saunter away leaving the door open.

[Onides Une]

She sauntered in.

"Baking?" she questioned. She wondered why this fellow was so invested with cooking. Wondering just how much time he has on his hands. "You know if you are bored I could show you a game or two. Video or table top." you know possibly be more social. She'd not add that last part.

[Sean Barker]

"Ah yes, I had a game going before." He would point to a corner of the room, some table top army game stuck in play, dust and cob webs around them.

"But my playing partners have... Vanished."

She would note some of the figures were brightly painted.

Anyways, how'd the meeting with Ma-I mean Eric go?"

[Onides Une]

She'd follow him to the old and unkempt table top with figures old ones attack that. But then he asked her about that...


"Yeah about that..." she turned to him and kicked him between the legs. "He sends his reguards!" she was just a bit nettled. Whether it hurt or not she'd honestly hoped it would but either way she felt only a little better... Only a little.

[Sean Barker]

Barker would grunt loudly gripping at his dangly duo straining as he bent and fell to his knee's. Face and neck turning red cause he hadn't been breathing. Letting out a few coughs before nodding.

"Y-yeah... I guess... I should of seen that coming..."

He strained out between groans of pain.

[Onides Une]

Huh she was actually surprised that hurt she blinked a couple of times. But then straightened herself to be better serious.

She let out a short pitched exhale and stormed to a seat plopping her sself down.

"I'll have you know the possibility of me doing something like that again is currently nil!" she had a full body chill remembering the point of his blade hovering over her eye and brushing her lashes.

[Sean Barker]

Barker would grunt and help himself back to a standing position. Leaned over, but standing. He'd nod as she spoke and choke laughed.

"It was to prove a point honestly. Did anything stand out to you about the man you faced?"

[Onides Une]

"Not more than I've already found." she grimaced. "He did everything I expected him to do. I went in fully aware I was going to get my ass handed to me. But if you asked me he went entirely too far. I am assuming you've sent more than one poor wuss after him not yielding the same results?"

She did it so she accepted the consequences but she never said she wouldn't complain about it.

"So are we square?"

[Sean Barker]

Barker would sigh.

"You are looking at it too directly. Matter of facts aside. What did you notice? Why after showing you the secrets held about a person would I send you to attack a random person?"

Sean would stare hoping she would catch on, put two and two together.

[Onides Une]

She paused. "Well certainly he wasn't random... But he has been around a long time and is. Basically a veteran amongst us. Fought in the war, the dragon core..." she paused.

She thought again. "Illusions and someone basically betraying the Amtrum family, but Matthew not being dead and going missing...

Her rose gold orbs shot up. She had her guesses such as Eric was also looking for the Earth Dragon and Barker needed to beat him to it which means Eric had known a lot between barker and he.

"They both had Earth powers..." which could be explained by similar Qi in more than one person easily. But in the dragon core she couldn't remember if anyone other than Amtrum weilded that power in the war.

She could help but be confused but the weight of it seemed to have started to settle. "Then you just knew where he was! You brought me out here for what? Is his family still wrapped in mystery? Is that it or care they still alive too?"

[Sean Barker]

"You are catching on. You see the murder of his entire family is literally impossible, not figuratively impossible. Pendants adorned by the children prevent them from dieing in a violent way. Yet both murdered? Murdered in one of the most well guarded homes to ever exist? Pendants that could only be removed through specific ritual?"

Barker pushed questions at her one after the other, impossibilities wrapped in improbabilities garnished by inconceivability.

"No, this was like a bank heist performed across the street from a court house next to a police station, under a federal prison."

[Onides Une]

She buried her face in her hands. A slight grumbling noise muffles through them. Out right attacking the Earth Dragon...

THE EARTH DRAGON!

She wont ever be able to face him again. Oh the shame that adorned her and the fear of his spite that would be towards the little tiefling was too much for her to bare. But she raised her head and did a calming breath shoving all her anxious feelings deep down where normal people couldnt see. She was a weird girl and with a lot of questionable habits. Her fan-girl self was in utter dismay. Torn to shreads by it's own selfish whims.

But with the calming breath she thought there was a daughter out there with out being able to see her father. She had no idea what kind of Dad Mr. Matthew was but he took those safety measures for some reason.

"Okay... So with what I can see so far. It was Mr. Leon who had a massive stiff neck to continuously illusion the cover up. Mr. Matthew needed to not only hid himself but his family. If you are right and if that ritual never took place... They should still be alive. More so... Someone was strong enough to drive them to this point." she thought once more. "Where does Mr. David have a part in this?" just to get that out of the way. Just he was the only other Dragon of equal caliber. The only other one to go toe to toe with the Earth Dragon.

[Sean Barker]

Barker's face would turn grim.

"I do not know Blazes involvement, if there is any. However, I can tell you for certain one of the daughters is dead along with their mother."

[Onides Une]

"Someone must have known the ritual then..." she guessed. "Unless they were not wearing anything... The ones who made them and the ones who know how to use them seemed logically the best suspected to have done the deed." she raised her finger thinking. She stood and paced. "Knowing the ritual... Those who made and those who know..."

Her head raised from here thoughts. "Hm... This might be a far guess but the murder of the Amtrum daughter and mother with the other daughter missing... Could it point to the missing daughter being a suspect. She'd know the ritual if she didn't do it then she could have helped." thr shock of her words baffled her.

"N-not that I'd say Mr.Matthew's daughter would do such a thing on purpose... Right?" she was already skin deep and it just. Felt like trouble if she continued to place wrong blame.
