"Mana... from trees?"
This concept particularly interested the treeman, having never heard of this artform.

Nina leans over and whispers to her lawyer who nods in understatement as the judge reviews the documents saul's talked about. After a few minutes of silence judge west speaks.

Judge West:"After reviewing the documents I have decided to not make a decision about this request until I review them more thoroughly. I could have an answer for you as soon as tomorrow or as late as Friday morning. As for the witness we can go ahead and begin testimony by ms.Vonhallocker."

As the crowd on the balcony stands Nina,Bo,Julio,and Auggie make their way by Ariana and Scarlett who is holding the stack of 6 bibles one for each of the children given to them by their grandparents Kirstin and Daniel. The top bible is very special as it is the one every Davidson monarch has used on coronation day since they first Davidson monarch. Everyone smiles as the cheif justice speaks.

Court case
Jayla:"Davidson! DAVIDSON!"
She yells at the Judge.

Lawyer Saul stands up.

Lawyer Saul:"Thank you, Your Honor. Ms.Davidson would you head up to the testimony seat."

Jayla proceeds to the front of the seat.

Lawyer Saul:"Is it true upon Kirstin's death you transferred Custody over to Frederick."

Jayla:"Yes."

Lawyer Saul:"Did you legally sign over Guardianship of Julio Davidson to Frederick."

Jayla:"Im sorry thats not a question for all the char-"

Lawyer Saul:"Your Honor I ask you and the plaintiff to turn to page 2 of Evidence list. It contains the Asylum insanity forms and Child Services giving a Date to take Julio Davidson away. If you flip to Page 3 of Evidence List. Jayla brokered a Deal with her attorney to Child Services to give Guardianship to next of kin that being Frederick Von Hallocker.

Your Honor I know you request all questions pertain to all 5 charges but may I ask Ms.Davidson here the simple question. Did she consent to signing over guardianship to Frederick. That question will resolve the 5th charge alone. After-all we are trying to find truth and justice in court of law."

He sits back down and whispers to Frederick and Frederick whispers to Saul before both look up to Judge West.

Inauguration day

Jayla follows and it ends up slightly awkward that Jayla did not get a bible... she takes out her Tiny Bible Pope Gave to her when she joined as Priest long ago. Puts it onto the pile.

Church-tower near Inauguration

Sniper breaths in and out slowly. Till there heart's beat slow down... they line up there sights on Ari Davidson then adjust lining up sights to Hunter Watt and begins to breath out emptying there lung as they squeeze the trigger.

Silenced shot goes off and Sniper pulls the bolt back and aims again at 2nd Target fires and then begins to adjust to the third target.

Inauguration day - Crashed

Hunter Watt has fallen over as a hole size of a baseball is through his chest where is heart should be. Suddenly Agustus feel's Jayla grab to him coughing blood..... as Dime like hole is through her chest.... she falls down onto her knee's coughing. Agustus looks up to see glint of somthing at Church Tower and then takes two big steps as time to him seems to slow as He Pushes Ari to the ground. Suddenly he is thrown back as where Ari was standing he can feel Pain going through his arm as he falls to the ground. He tries to get up.... but his arm is gone... he picks up his right ript off arm confused... dazed.....

Jayla moves over to Nina.

Jayla:"Kirstin....wanted...you-to-lead Manife-

Then Two more rounds hit her and she falls over.

Church-tower near Inauguration

Target takes sight of Nina but purposely misses round flying past her head. She leaves Sniper Rifle down and moves to the briefcase clicking a switch in which a timer begins to count down. She race's down to the exit door stepping over the tripwire door before closing it. She ripts off the Nun Clothing and leaves it on the floor. Underneath is Local Jacket and Jean's as she leaves church and begins to merge in crowded street's trying to blend in and escape.

It did not speak Its own language but it did speak an Familiar Language. Translating the Language is very similar to Petersburgian. In which after checking translation book's they are able to understand what's its asking. Its making Demands.... perhaps before it answer's questions?

The alien will be granted a bed and a computer for now. The Gorans will charge the computer for them. The Gorans also monitor the computer.

Johan: "Many options, I’ll show you."

They walk downstairs and to the dining hall. They sit down in chairs with a menu in front of them. The options are scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes, sausages and toast.

They'd leave the second pod alone, as they train their rifles in its direction, as cloaked figures carrying service rifles and magic lanterns would be flying from the town towards the field, the local garrison on their way to investigate the situation.

They hear crying in the Escape-Pod. Sounds like.... a baby? Also where once the Grown Creature stood is now a Pile of Ash.

Xcom heavy tazes and extracts the alien with yhe help of an assault, then some assaults infiltrate the hole, taking defensive position around it on the inside. Scouts bear the infiltrators and survey otehr entrances as the snipers get better positions on the entrances. 20 Recon drones the size of a hummingbird are released into the ship, getting an idea of what is inside.

    With the magical wards surrounding the cells, they do good at suppressing magic (( if it is magic, of course. )). The guards use ice and air blasts to surpress the robots and the beast, while a veteran shaman guard does good on suppressing the blowtorch flame, which is already weaker due to the high altitude.

It is not Magic but Energy.

Robots begin to try to bash themselves against the bar's some breaking limbs off and giving them to others to make makeshift Bolt-Cutter's to try to break Cage.

This ceases once the Air Blast hits the Alien in the Cage. They try to switch to Blowtorch's and Bolt-cutter's again. The Alien points her hand to the Veteran Shaman and suddenly a beam of Purple Laser flies in his direction at the speed of Laser Rifle

Kemonomica wrote:(No worries)

Yoon-Jung would await for them to finish their errands, though as he got the signal to begin their destination to the port he would get onboard his ship and tell his mates including Mitsuo to ready to depart back to the port. The junk sailed away and a small port appeared from the Horizon, this port being the little trading hub for the small village on the shores as well as acting as a place that hosts military fortresses and ships.

The few large merchant vessel would slowly ease their way into port and would come into port to dock. The ships would all seem to, in unison, do docking procedures in a quiet and orderly fashion and their captains would step off their ships with manifests and papers concerning their ships. Stadius though would have been the first off and walking towards the end of the pier with a few aids in tow. As well as an older looking gentleman in grey artisan looking cloths.

The Code is too hard to break however one of the Crew Member's recognizes that end of the Message has. Hail the Matriarch. No matter how many ways code changes' The Last code digits have Hail the Matriarch. Meaning they can decode letters of the message and get partial message.

Alien workers dont even bat an Eye. You can punch them and throw them around and they would get up and continue to try to do there job. Often Violently if you got in there way. Theoretically they could be like Ant's in a Hivemind. However Down the Hall Plasma fire flies past then from an Alien

After a great long while in the extravagant Consort district of the Capital, Caput Vulpine. The district was extremely well known for providing or helping prospecting bachelors Natsuki. And he may have just found it. On his way into cafe called Bright Tale Inn, he would have been directed to a table where a midnight black-haired. She would have a casual Vulpine style dress with all the necessary flars and she seemed to have a case of Heterochromia Iridum in her eyes. One a deep blue and the other a gentle grey. She would look up to him and smile.

Ports...

Eviserator Teal Merchant Tribe sends request to Frederick. Regent Frederick has sent request to the Empress asking for Engineer's/Construction workers to yell at Cheap 800,000 Eviserator Labour to build 15 Modern Ports in Kemonomica.

Also to build 58 Wooden Dock Port's.

Kemonomican Leadership is asked if this is fine.

The Vixen allows the construction of these new ports, new tax codes will allow easier time for businesses to make and gain profit as of now company taxes are now at 7.5%. This will hopefully in turn boost family and local income of towns and cities as well as consumption. Since these ports will be privately owned they are to abide to the tax codes of the nation.

Robot joints break and it falls over. It then begins to use its own head as an limb to try to move forward..... Robot is easily bound. However Alien... a Pot will easily capture ash better.

They ignore the ashes for the sole reason that they are ashes and its hard to study ashes for anatomy. They take the robot back to the lodge and start carefully taking it apart documenting all its pieces and parts in the exact order their in for future use.

She gives them the papers for maintenance and partial De-facto ownership. Allowing them to add whatever as long as it doesn't replace anything old. They have to maintain place to stay here. Castle is quite impressive as well.

Liuxian: “You’re welcome,” she says, “Though thank you for giving us the opportunity, I don’t really like having to travel on the seas too much,” she explains, she then inscribes her name onto the paper and promises to maintain it, some of her colleagues were worried if they were to ever stumble upon the people who threatened them, though she assured that if they come back they’ll be backed.

They brought in futons and other comforts that they may need to accommodate themselves, rather than use the stuff that was in the castle for their own betterment.

Mach chimes in with a gleeful "We're homeee" and proceeds to do a little spin.

Vidhya: “Well the houses sure are small. . .” she says, Sen looking at her, “But at least that means less materials to use to build it, we are rather conservative of using stuff,” she says scratching the back of her head and nervously smiling at Sen.

Sen: “mhm,” he nods, “The divine blessed everyone and everything with a spirit or a soul, it’s best to use 100% of the tree and eat all of the food, leaving no leftovers, unless they are impossible to eat, like bones, though you can crush them and make bone meal which can be used for other things,” he explains.

Kemonomica wrote:(It’s alright though I’m curious where the Nekomimi is from >_>)

As the land of Kemonomica is mostly untouched and the civilization is rather primitive. It was easy for them to slip through the land and get to the landlocked capital of the nation. ‘Downtown’ being mostly made of Korean houses and architecture while ‘Uptown’ was dominated by Japanese architecture. Though with other Asian inspired buildings were also prompt in the capital.

Majority of the capitals population was born in the lands of Australis, hoomans being considered foreigners or ambassadors working in the embassies within the capital.

When the hoomans and Nekomimi attempt to buy a home downtown, one Nekomimi born in Kemonomica and a few Okamimimi that were from the mainlands see them.

Nekomimi: [Korean] “What must be you doing around hoomans?” He asked the Nekomimi in their dialect.

(Sorry for late response i got grounded)
(Also For an explanation on them having a nekomimi, my species have false forms which can look like any humanoid this one happens to mimic nekomimis)

The Nekomimi responds rather frankly (within their dialect) “I owe them a great deal, when i was out fishing i got swept out to sea and they saved my life. Without them i would not be here you know.”

The humans while the conversation takes place try to buy a lodge as they had come to do. They also make an odd series of hand signs to the real estate agent waiting for a response.

"No, it's fine..." Bru'nai would whisper to her Dain Fae friend before returning to focus on her roommate.

"I didn't learn her language. But, she says it's called Mish, and doesn't allow her to understand bird chirps."

Itoh would manage to rise from the "Mr. Houghse" chair, moving over to investigate Bru'nai's casual understanding of Shellbell.
In a tone failing to conceal banterous joy, Itoh would query,

"Bru, did you go to his shop again?"
Bru'nai would remain silent, slightly grinning to herself. The question comes again with anticipation.
