Thread: Black Bull Headquarters

  1. #191
    Olivia took this news of the merchant's obviously ill-acquired wares in stride, coming to quick conclusions about the type of man they were dealing with. Leonis wondered how long this had been going on without anyone discovering it, but there was the point made that nobles would be seldom found in the black market, or even dealing with the people who worked in it. Just the same, the Black Bull squad didn't seem very big on having noble members either, likely due to the odd nature of all its members Leonis had seen thus far.

    Hikage offered the suggestion that this man wasn't working alone. They could have easily just discovered one foul man among a hundred or more, and though there was no telling, Leonis had learned enough about Hikage to believe she was most likely correct in her assertion. Having received a communication tool from Olivia, he looked into its core and gave some consideration to his approach when contacting the command center. "Hai. We'll take care of it," he said before pouring his mana into the device, activating it to trigger a hologram of whatever person responded. "Oi, command. We've got news from the Black Bulls."

    Given the social disconnect between Nobles, commoners and the world at large, it was more than likely noble goods could have been being traded for years without anyone knowing. And given that Nobles were worldly they likely hadn't noticed anything was gone unless the criminals were caught in the act. It would have actually been a pretty good plan for whoever came up with it, regardless they were now making a call to command through a magic item and Leonis voice would be received by a hologram of a young woman.

    Though she was obviously older than most, she was completely and utterly flat chested. She was wearing robes with an open center and a large witch's hat with filigree hanging off of it. She had red eyes and white blonde hair which flowed freely behind her. She answered the Command Post as she'd been taught to. "Alright, Black Bulls. This is command, you're speaking with Irisviel von Einzbern, what news do you have?" she asked, as she had a pen and paper ready to take notes on the information the lad had to give. She seemed well informed of her duties within the Command Post, and though she was only a Junior Magic Knight herself, she'd follow her duties without the inherent biases others seemed to possess. That being said one with a close look could see the girl's knees shaking, as she practically buried her face in the paper she was about to start writing. "Ano... is she scared of something?" Hikage wondered aloud, as she watched the hologram. She'd never seen anything like this girl shaking in her boots.

    The call Leonis made through the communication tool was answered by an unfamiliar woman who seemed to be reacting strangely to her job for whatever reason. Strange as this was, Leonis did not consider questioning it. Hikage, though, wondered aloud if this girl was afraid of something. Only because of this did Leonis speak on the matter. "Nerves, probably. They'll get anyone to work communications for awhile," he clarified, assuming this person must have just been inexperienced with this task. "Leonis Vermillion," he said to the one named Irisviel. "We have a report of a man from the Black Market selling off merchandise from noble houses across the kingdom. We have reason to believe he's working in a group, and that they didn't exactly get these things the legit way. Maybe pass the message along to somebody who isn't quivering?"

    According to Leonis the girl on the other end of their connection was likely just nervous because of some aspect of her job. Hikage herself, couldn't imagine being volunteered for a job like working in command taking communications but she supposed there were worse things, and it was likely to clear up over time. Meanwhile the name of the lad was given and the girl began scribbling furiously on the pad after that. "Hai, Leonis Vermillion of the Black Bulls has seen stolen merchandise from noble houses in the hands of Black Market merchants. Likely illegally obtained by more than a small group," she said summarizing her notes still the girl seemed to be shaking in place, but it was not fear of this job which caused it but instead by talking to a man. Though admittedly it was much better than her previous tries at such communication. Her knees continued to shake but she got all the necessary information down and gave a closing. "Hai, I'll pass it along to my superiors immediately, thank you," she said choosing to end the communication as quickly as humanly possible.

    "Hai hai," Leonis replied to the strange woman. He still had no idea what had this representative so shaky, but that didn't matter as long as the message was delivered, and the problem dealt with. It didn't seem like anything else would be required of the new Black Bulls after this interaction, as Irisviel chose to cut the communication line after stating that she'd pass the message along. "Hai. Try and work out the nerves next time. Ja," were his final words to the woman before he deactivated his own device and shoved it in his pocket. Following this exchange was a sigh from Leonis. "Yare yare. Guess there's nothing else in it for us. We're back to being grounded, so... what do we do now?" asked the young male, who turned toward Hikage as he spoke. "I could use this to make a call or two and get something to redecorate that room with."

    Whether Irisviel heard what the lad had to say or not, the connection was soon lost and all that was left was for these two members of the Black Bulls to figure out their own activities for the rest of the day. 'I can't imagine nerves working like that...' she mused within her mind. As they moved on to more pertinent matters it seemed it would be questioned what they should do, and Leonis came up with the suggestion of making a couple of calls to upgrade their room in some way. Hikage shrugged this off, as she had no idea what kind of call he could make nor what sort of changes it would bring but she couldn't say she minded it at all. "I don't really know what I would want out of upgrades. You can do what you want with the room..." she said giving a gentle nod of her own head. As far as she was concerned she wouldn't have even known how to begin decorating and she supposed it would give them something to do until they were 'ungrounded'.
