[X] Dash to close in.
-[X] Then Sword + Spear to get the right length along with big enough hurty-slashy parts. Overhead smashy slash. Make sure to get plenty of bulshittingly pointless anime twirls in for spinning force.
You roll out of the way of a fireball. And another. And another.
This is why dogs shouldn't be allowed fire powers. They try to set everything on fire. Bah.
Well we can hopefully put a stop to that right?
You dash forward and slide. Right under a fireball and more precisely right under the Black Dog.
You could do some bullshit anime things. But you'd rather just do this.
SWORD-SPEAR
Right through the bottom of the skull into the Brain meats.
And the Black dog explodes into a swirl of cards.
Floating around is a card with a flame on it. The Black Dog Card. A card with a picture of the moon. And finally what looks to be a gauntlet.
You'd try out the cards. But you can already hear sirens. Apparently Blackouts, Fires, and holes put into buildings makes people uneasy. Something about rebels.
You decide to beat feet before it gets to hot here if you get what I'm saying.
You aren't in the mood for bacon.
Your stomach growls. Have you eaten anything today besides breakfast? I don't think you have. You burned an awful lot of calories today. What with all the fights you've gotten into. You head into a nearby diner.
And run face to face with that guy.
*Smoke is everywhere. The Orphanage is on fire. All because they think the matron is supporting rebels. All she did was take you in. The son of outcasts. Burning everyone down because of one child. That's not how it's supposed to go. Aren't they supposed to be the good guys?*
And now you have a massive headache to go with the hunger pains. Psychic powers can go suck it.
We still live with this guy? I had assumed we moved into the old family house. Or did he invite himself in? Why were we in an orphanage if we were stuck with him?
Note to self: New locks.
[x] Grumble grumble need food.
[x] Ruminate on rebels and outcast parents.
I just realized I never explained the King's Intuition did I? Basically what you are seeing is the driving memory of the guy. Just like Marcus and the Ice, and the Beast kid and being thrown into the cage like an animal.
It seems I missed that we were heading to a diner. My guess as to who we were talking to was based on an assumption that That Man and That Guy were the same person.
[X] "Hectic night, didn't get much sleep."
[X] "I'm going out for breakfast, care to join me?"
[X] Give polite nod to Smoke Dude.
[X] "Hectic night, didn't get much sleep."
[X] "I'm going out for breakfast, care to join me?"
- - [X] Order foods. Lots of Meat, Veggies and Potatoes.
"Heh. I'm fine. Just got a bit of a headache."
The guy just smiles and holds out his hand.
"I'm Finn. And sure I'll join ya. Least I can do for the King after all."
How? Wait, the Beast knew as well when he first met you. Do the these guys have something similar to the king's intitution?
Finn must have caught your small reaction as he begins talking.
"It's just a feeling. Kinda just know when you start coming around. Heh."
He takes a seat in one of the booths and waves you over to him.
"Come round here King. Wouldn't ya take a seat? Also you forgot to introduce yourself. Kinda rude."
The way he's smiling makes you think he's just messing with you, but he is right about that.
"I'm Randolph Carter."
"Nice to meet you."
You call over the waitress and order some food.
"That's a lot King. I'll have double what he's having."
You blink. You ordered about half this for...
Oh god you forgot that he's going to have one as well.
You already feel a hole burning in your pocket. You get the feeling that they'll have a competition to see who could eat the most.
"So King, Have you wondered why everyone's playing the game? I have. It's interesting really. Twenty six beings of unknown power chosening humans to collect cards for them. What's the catch?"
He's got you thinking now. You know why that you have to collect the cards. You let them out after all. But, why do the Arcana want people to collect cards. Wouldn't it be better to let them just rampage?
"Got ya thinking don't I? I know why Ifrit is letting me do what I do. He's a being that loves rebellion after all. Fires of Rebirth after all."
He smirks a bit at that.
"See the thing is. Have you heard of the Black Cards?"
Was it the mention of the Black Cards that caused the headache? We must do SCIENCE!
[X] Look around for hostiles.
[X] "That sounds like crap that I'm going to have to clean up."
[X] "Otherwise no, Black Cards haven't been mentioned. Unless the Black Dog card counts, I guess."
[X] Does Seiba have anything she wishes to add?

The Waitress starts talking.
"Bow your heads before your king. It's what you should do in my presence."
Another Patron starts up.
"After all I am the on in control here."
Finn's hands start smoking
"None of that now. You'll only hurt the poor people. Wouldn't want that."
Finn really looks like he just wants to start punching people.
You want to start punching people.
"The black cards are mine, Red King. Mine to use."
The Waitress sits and props her leg up on the table.
"Now then. If you want to after what's mine. We could have a war. I'd enjoy it until I ended you."
Right now all you want to do is wipe the smug little grin you can feel he's wearing right off his fucking face.
[X] Do you know where he is?
-[X] If so, Dash card. Combine it with Spear card to 'pierce' the wind barrier. Or something. You're pretty sure this makes sense and is not just Shonen Bullcrap!
-[X] If no, figure out where he is, then the above.
