For Want of a Soul [DE, Medium-Hard, R]

[Deleted]

Vannan thought that he was going to get in so he really wasn't paying too much attention to the door closing right before his eyes. No he was so confident that the door would be open long enough that he had actually pulled out his phone to check it for a message he had gotten while following the man in a cloak. So without even noticing it Vannan ended up walking head first into the door. A loud thump could be heard from anyone nearby if they were paying attention. As for Vannan he slowly pulled away from having his face slammed into a metal door because he didn't pay attention. He really didn't know how it happened but he someone became just like those people in the YouTube videos that are texting away and crash into something. The only thing that he was thankful for was for the fact that no one could of seen him do that and that no one could of record it either.

A sigh left his lips before he pulled away from being face first into the door. Looking at it he knew that it would be more of a hassle to try to break into the place then what he wanted to deal with right now. Turning away from the building he leaned back against a telephone looking more at the building. Turning off his stealth cloak he waited, hoping that something would happen, anything at all however he wasn't going to wait all day here. After only a minute he stepped away and walked down the street, by chance he actually walked passed the alleyway that Harle was in, he didn't stop to see he however it was totally possible that she could of seen him and stopped him for some reason. If she didn't he would just head home and rest for the rest of the day and try to figure out what to do next.

(OOC:Sorry for the short post guys I've been having a brain fart on this one. I spoke to Ray he said he was dropping the thread. Also Harle is free to interact with Vannan if she wishes if not three days will pass and Vannan will be in his living room in the start of his next post)

The suspicious "Investigator" who had dragged Harle into they alley way seemed to be quite the character. Not only she knew it was a blatant lie for someone who was on the side of justice to simply drag a woman without warning just to draw her attention away. At least he did identified himself but surely that alone was not enough to have the woman trust him immediately, because who knew if he was working with the intended target to find out what she knew or what her plans were. Harle grew only more suspicious of the man. However, that seemed to have died down quickly when he received a call that forced him to drop their conversation with an apology before fleeing the scene with haste. How rude. The woman would definitely remember him.

Shortly after, there was a sound. Some goof ball ran into the door of where the other suspicious man had entered. Her invitation entered into the below ordinary complex and found another man who had attempted to enter. Unfortunately for him that the door sealed itself shut, removing the off chance that any one who was not invited from entering, especially weird hooligans like the fellow who had tried to do just that. Looking at him it was obvious what he wanted, so the thought did cross her mind of asking him what was his purpose for being there. Another note scripted itself into her mind that he didn't belong to the area as much as she did looking at his attire. Why was it that most suspicious activities usually involved people wearing hoods or large jackets. No sense of style at all. In other words it was utterly ridiculous.

Still, the Shinigami had to remain incognito as to what her actual purpose was for tailing her courtier. So believe it or not Harle remained in the shadows to plan out what was to be done. So she avoided the awkward man to go about her own busy. Thus, using her own talents to procure funds for the big event, the woman continued displaying her skills to the townsfolk while at the same time using her free time to procure further information on the location she visited. How long was the structure was there for? Who purchased it? Who were the current occupants? Blueprints. Anything that would provide her with further information about the location and who were the people that owned it.

Of course, she couldn't do this in the open. So she did so discreetly as much as she could. Kenryoku taught her to keep her eyes and ears open to see everything around her for any form of suspicious activity. That and keeping her appearances up as a traveling Jester. That was the reason for her performance around town. But not only that, it even presented a few opportunities to ask about the residence and if there any rumors to go on. Believe or not even some rumors appeared to be true. Honestly, ghosts, demons, monsters under the bed, things that Harle was thought of as make believe and ghost stories were actually true. Some details were a bit off but the ideas were the same. Harle had to keep an open mind as she waited patiently for her messenger to come and pick her up. That was all she could do while she carefully set the stage and herself for her latest performance.
