Turn Back the Clock [Hard, Death Enabled]

[Yuki & Yui Tsumugi]

Seeing as this adventure didn't go very far the first time, time to run it again. :D

Name: Turn Back the Clock.

Participants: 1-3 characters of any class.

Location: The Entirety of the Human World.

Difficulty Level: Hard.

Setting: Death Enabled.

Plotline: Each major faction has been given an anonymous "heads up" about a rather massive amount of spiritually-aided assassinations happening around the world. Little is known about each individual attack, aside from the fact that there are faint amounts of unrecognizable reiatsu left at each site, and that rather odd temporal anomalies tend to occur within a rather large radius around the area of attack. Put in as what is effectively "contract work" for those interested, the informant has promised significant compensation for those able and willing to go out of their way in order to solve these murders, and put an end to the assailant.

Estimated Enemy Strength: Enemies will be scaled to match the participant(s).

Estimated Time Until Completion: 3-7 pages.

Starts: After a post made from the interested parties to reserve spots, or after one week of this post if not every spot is filled.

Special Conditions: TP will be allotted early to participants at the end of each page, and can be spent early within this thread only.

Reserving a spot for Caba here~

"Time to show them my unmatched detective skills! I'm a modern day Sherlock y'kno? Actually.. is this more like a Dete&^%ve C*&nan.. situation? Either way, you bet I'm showing up to be host to this Class Trial!"

[Yuki & Yui Tsumugi]

To Whom It May Concern,

A rather large amount of help is being requested for a rather large issue currently plaguing the Human World. Over the course of the last few months, numerous murders have occurred all across the world. These murders have occurred in a pattern we've been able to identify; one attack every day, with these attacks happening within the same time frame every after noon, give or take an hour or so. Not only that, but after each and every attack, the victims have always been in the same condition.

Enclosed with this letter are a series of six photos from multiple attacks, including but not limited to the first, and the most recent ones. Each and every one have left the victims in similar conditions, each one with a rather noticeable hole through the center of the victim's chest, and with no trace of any kind of identifiable energy signature permeating around the area. While we have ideas as to what this could possibly be, nobody here knows for certain.

Alongside these attacks, various... issues regarding the flow of time have been found to happen around each murder. We haven't quite been able to figure out exactly what the cause of this is, or what the affects of remaining in this area are, but we've come to the conclusion that this must be due to some sort of release. Those that decide to take up this job, please make sure to enter these areas with the utmost caution, for everything is about as unknown as it can possibly be at the moment.

Also Enclosed within this letter is a sum of twenty thousand U.S. dollars. These funds are for the purpose of travelling where you might need to, picking up supplies along the way, as well as any other necessary expenses that might need to be covered. Unfortunately we are unable to provide those involved with transportation or living accommodations, as the last thing we want is any more attention drawn to this job, as every major organization is already being informed.

Unfortunately we cannot guarantee the survival of the parties involved, due to the very nature of the mission. That being said, a reward will certainly be discussed upon the completion of this job. Anything within our power that can be done for those that manage to put an end to this serial killer will be done. We thank you for the time taken to read this letter, and only hope that some will reach out in order to provide the aid that is desperately requested. For those looking to accept this job, a short briefing will be done in the center of the Karakura Town shopping plaza, located in Central Japan, exactly two days upon the arrival of this letter. Look for the man in a silver tuxedo.

Sincerely,
Employee 877-2-3B of The Shade Group.

Caballero didn't have many concerns as they soared through the skies of Karakura via air ground. As usual, they were on patrol, but it was being a rather quiet day, save for one or two Stray attacks that they had immediately crushed into paste via Gravitational Pressure. It was by that point that they noticed something right there on the middle of the street, a white envelope that contrasted deeply with the asphalt and thus was easy to pick up, even from a distance. The tiny bean would've ignored it if they were in pursuit of some Hollows, but given how quiet it was, they descended to check it out. It didn't look like it had been out there for too long: the paper was far too clean and felt nice to the touch--ever since they had begun writing and reading, Caballero had become quite the paper connosieur. Normally, a closed envelope outside of a mailbox meant that either it was not sent or not read. Perhaps it had been misplaced? A letter wouldn't just be in the middle of the street like that. Someone must have dropped it, right?

Then, Caballero had an excelent idea, one that in no way shape or form would condition them to an extremely dangerous adventure that might see them die, or survive by the skin of their non-existent teeth. What about delivering it by themselves? They were pretty fast, after all, so they would be quicker than a human mailman. Yes, truly a plan with absolutely no flaws! The tiny bean quickly took a peek at the addressee. There was nothing on that section, however. Were they remembering how letters worked correctly?

Instead, they thought that they could probably just take a look at the contents of the envelope, as the addressee had to be listed there, right? Being largely unaware that it was very rude--not to mention a crime by human laws--to open and read someone else's letter, the tiny bean opened the envelope with care. It was not that difficult when using Tendón, since it allowed them to make very small tendrils to help with the task, and they could just reseal it afterwards with the sticky part. The moment they set sights on the introductory line, however, they were extremely confused.

Who was this 'Whom It May Concern' person?

For starters, definitely not anyone Caballero had ever heard about. Scratching the underside of their helmet-like mask as if they were rubbing their chin, the tiny knight thought back to the concept of names. Some were simple, like Yui, others were a bit more complex, like Ailene. But who could be called Whom It May Concern? Probably someone very important.

The tiny bean tried to make some sense of the envelope's contents by reading them. However, this letter used much bigger words than they were accustomed to; ultimately they got the gist that there was some trouble, and someone was being contacted about it. Inside the envelope, it said that there were '20,000 US dollars'. Hmmm... Caballero had no idea what 'dollar' was, but the paper notes that were enclosed inside the paper envelope also had funny drawings and numbers painted on them. Thus, they looked an awful lot like this 'money' they had been using to grossly overpay for their writing materials.

Caballero pulled out the clicking pen that Yui Tsumugi, a most recent addition to Caballero's 'friend' list, had given them back in the regina, and clicked on it a little bit while pondering a most important question. How many pens and sheets of paper could someone buy with these 'dollars'? Maybe 1 or 2, with a notebook? Well, then maybe it would be okay. However, the opposite idea quickly flashed through their two brain-cells. What if you could get 10?! Surely, whoever had dropped this must have been incredibly distraught!

No, no, that would not do. Someone might need this money, but how would they be able to tell the sender or the recipient? Luckily, the last paragraph was easier to make sense of for them. Some man in a silver tux-something would be arriving two days later. It was not ideal, but the tiny bean's best option was to wait until then. With that thought, the tiny bean stuffed the letter into the black Reiatsu that formed their body--Soul King knows how that worked--and resumed their daily patrol.

---

Two days later, Caballero was at the specified place, but since there was no specified time, they arrived there early to make sure they would not miss the tuxsomething man. Some Pluses were aware of their presence, but it appeared that their patrolling had become common enough that they merely regarded them with some curiosity, but little fear. While waiting, they would be keeping an eye out for any silver clothing. In the event they spotted him--if he appeared, that was--, Caballero would quickly approach to hand back the envelope. Hopefully, tuxedo man would be able to send it back to the intended recipient! Even so, many humans really needed to learn how to be more careful. If the tuxedo man so much as looked at it, it would be pretty clear that the tiny bean had stuffed the money back in as best as they could.

Saber Filo [Edge Lore]: Being created from their very being, Caballero has an affinity toward Filo that they just can't achieve for any other weapons, and they have incorporated aspects of the Shinigami they've so far trained with into their technique. This skill dictates Caballero's level of weapon mastery when wielding Filo, how refined their style is. 1 point means they can use Filo adequately, as if trained for a year. 2 means 5 years of experience. 3 means their mastery is unheard of, with the equivalent of decades under their belt. 4 means they go far beyond, and can reliably implement almost impossible maneuvers into their combat style with great success. Being incredibly specialized in this particular weapon, Saber Filo would give them a superior level of mastery than someone with a general Weapons: Sword skill would have, even if both are at 4 SkP. In the event Caballero becomes an Arrancar, Saber Filo applies to their sealed Zanpakuto as well.
