In the split second that everyone was focused on the money Victoria swapped the dealer's dice out for some of her own.

"I'm going to bet double what my friend did, and I'm going to call the dice as well which will quadruple my winnings." She said "I'm going to say Even, 10!" she said everyone around her chuckled a little sure that she was going to lose. But when when the dealer slammed down the cup with the dice in it, they came up as a perfect 10.

"I'll be taking that." She said pulling in the money she handed half of it to Sly "Now how do you feel about pressing your luck?" she asked with a small wink.

"Excellent," Tsuru said, taking the charm and putting it on. "Now then, let's make our way to that show."

((I take it this is getting close to the point where we get the head call?))

"I've heard they have a performer from quite far away." Honey said taking the lead.

There was a large open area with a large crowd gathered gathered around. In the center of the there was a young woman dressed in a rather flashy outfit, a short skirt with red, yellow, and black stripes, she had a pair of goggles over her eyes and a scarf on the lower half of her face.

She was juggling a set of knives while performing a dance. Alongside her were a Aipom and Cubone who were adding to the show, The Aipom would toss a ball up and the Cubone would smack it with it’s club right at the juggling girl who would seamlessly add it to the rest of the objects in the air.

“She’s very talented isn’t she?” Honey said with a tone of amusement.

"Indeed, that takes no small amount of skill and focus. A single slip and she could severely injure herself," he remarked on the performance as he watched. It must have taken a great deal of practice to avoid cutting herself while juggling knives...

Just as Tsuru was admiring the woman's show a black shape raced trough the center of the right, the Aipom dropped, blood pouring from it's belly. The performer threw a knife at the attacker with one hand while recalling her wounded pokemon never stopping her routine. Everyone seemed confused for a moment as if they thought this was part of the show.

But a second later when a member of the audience went down panic began to spread like a wildfire with people screaming and shoving. The juggler threw a few more knives into the crowd, it was clear that she was aiming for something.

(Return to HQ now, It seems an Aberrant has appeared!) Hikaru's voice entered Turu's mind.


"Was..was that an Aberrant?" Honey asked her voice trembling a little, though it was hard to tell of it was with fear or excitement.

As soon as the aberrant made its move Tsuru was on his feet, even before Hikaru's call to arms. "Miss Honey, I must ask you to leave. Make your way back to the inn where you are staying, you should be safe there," he said in a calm, stern tone.

"Everyone! Return to your homes and lodgings until instructed otherwise! This situation will be resolved swiftly!," he shouted above the crowd in a calm, firm, assertive tone.

I've just seen it at the festival, at the foreign performer's stage. I will engage it if possible and return to Headquarters once it has been dispatched or the people are out of here safely, Tsuru thought to Hikaru. If thoughts could have a tone, this one would have been resolute. As he thought this, his eyes were already darting around, looking for any sign of the aberrant. "Keep your eyes open Yoko, your senses are keener than mine," he said under his breath to his companion.

Yoko snarls at a shape that zips past, a trail of black-purple blood trailing behind it.

"There's no way I can leave this!" Honey said "Getting to see one this close will give me so much information." She said.

(It is unlikely you will be able to do much, these Aberrants seem to favor hit and runt tactics.) Hikaru explained (We are setting up plans to deal with them, and we need everyone here to discuss them.)

A pair of city guards arrived with two large pokemon that looked like statues, they were doing their best to help calm everyone down.

The performer and others were also helping to try and direct the crowd a bit.

Having two conversations at the same time was beginning to vex Tsuru.

It's injured and trailing blood. It will be a simple matter for Yoko and I to track and corner it, Tsuru though to Hikaru.

"Miss Honey, I must insist that you do not attempt to get close to these creatures. Despite what you may believe, you are not prepared for the savagery of these creatures, and I can assure you there are multiple creatures at this time. Please, for your own safety, return to your lodgings. As a Guardian, I, Tsuru, will see to it that you may examine these creatures to your heart's content--but only once they have been slain. Alive they are far too dangerous," he said firmly.

"Yoko, come. We must hunt this creature down before it has a chance to regroup," he said, the pair following the trail of blood.

The blood trail led off in a wild zigzag pattern. After a few feet it stopped, though a few chips of what looked like black-purple ice rested on the ground.

"Oh, you are a Guardian now I have to see this." Honey said following after Tsuru. "This is quite interesting." Honey said picking up on of the shards before dropping "That's so cold it hurts." she said. He fingers were a bit red, almost as if they were burned.

"It appears that the trail has gone cold," he said flatly, kneeling down by the chips of ice. "Miss Honey, don't-," he said as she picked up one of them. "-touch that." As Miss Honey had followed him, and the trail ended, Tsuru could do little other than massage the bridge of his nose in frustration.

"Yoko, see if you can pick up its scent," he said, kneeling down by the chips of ice. He folded over the sleeve of his clothing, using it as an insulator, and tried to pick up the shards.
