| BRB, phone call, but have to add this snarky comment:
Query: "What if I take a small trip and you let Ace go, that's a fair compromise I think." | |

| OOC: Eh... it's Crouch's plan, really, I'll wait for him to answer that, Mer.
IC:
Jim sighs, rolling his eyes. "Oh, just kill yourself, it's a lot easier," he snips at Query. | |

| "Perhaps, Jimmy, but the difference between you and I is I'm not hesitant to apply brainpower." | |

| 'We're leaving...now!'
She wasn't letting their opportunity to escape slip from her grasp. In one motion her hand reached into her pouch and scattered a powder onto the floor. Her other hand groped for both Query and Chase, identifying where they were.
In minutes the tower fell into an inpenetrable darkness. | |

| "Shoot!" Jim shrieks, a slight hint of panic in his voice now.
Suzume doesn't hesitate. She shoots where she last saw her target, willing the arrow to find someone. | |

| "Riddle me that... riddle me this..." I stop in my tracks, staying still.
"Who will make sure that arrow does miss?" | |

| 'We take the risk.' she spoke in a hushed tone, latching her fingers around Chase's wrist and pulling his frozen form with her. 'Come on Query.' | |

| "Change targets!" Jim hisses. He stays exactly where he is; he can't let the arrow hit him instead of one of the others. "You know what to do, Suzume!"
She nods, even though Jim can't see her. She closes her eyes and concentrates. Query. Follow Query. Hit him. She sacrifices some of the spell's power in the arrow in order to make it follow the new target. | |

| "Actually Ace... the correct answer to the riddle... is me." I reply somberly as I let the arrow hit me, not making any sort of conscious effort to dodge it. | |

| 'No!' in that moment she forgot all about Chase, fingers searching in the darkness for Query. Her hands caught his suit, and she dragged him out of the Astronomy tower, other fingers still clamped onto Chase's wrists.
This isn't happening... | |

| In that moment, Jim knows that he's won.
Suzume finds him and he grips her sleeve, drawing back from them, carefully minding the gap in the floor. Suzume loads another arrow, but there's no need. | |

| 'You didn't just do that for me, it wasn't meant for you!' she gasped, knowing only that she needed to pull them out of harm's way. Ace could feel despair pitting in her stomach; this must be some sort of trick or test, it had to be...
move them elsewhere? | |

| Jim smiles to himself, biting his lip so he doesn't laugh. "I think we'll take our leave, Suzume."
She nods, moving ahead of him, treading carefully. | |

| I follow behind them, wondering why I felt... well anything. It's not like this was the first time I've been part of something like this, but... this was the first time I felt anything afterwards. | |

| Jim halts once they've gone down a floor, where the air is clearer and easier to see through.
Then he grins widely. "You are both fantastic! Perfect!"

| His pleasure quickly disappears, replaced by cold wariness. "Joachim... do I detect regret in your voice?"
Suzume turns away to hide her smirk. | |

| I look at him with my streetpunk attitude back in full swing, "Not even a little, shit happens everyday, ya just have to make a buck off it." | |

| He nods, appearing pleased, when really he's still wary. "Good. Now, as promised..." Jim pulls a small sack of galleons from his pocket and holds it out towards Joachim. "Your payment." Not that you did much... | |

| Behind him, Suzume glares daggers at him, but at a warning glance from Jim she backs off.
"Do better work in the future and there'll be more," Jim promises. | |
