(fire: office = yummy)
They do not seem to appreciate your rude gesture. Bao looks on in dismay as you fly off.
"Oh no, he's getting away!"
"I'm aware!"
The female guards launches herself into the air by making the ground beneath her burst upwards, but misses you by a couple meters as you make your getaway. You leave the area without any serious damage and without being identified. Lucky you. Your client shouldn't be too far from here and is probably awaiting your arrival.
(Christian bale)
(Also, do you want to describe the client or do you want me to do it)
(the dice gods have decided to end your free trial of freedom.
and life for me because i made a response, my computer turned off and i had to rewrite this)
You hear a small fiery blast and footsteps racing behind you. You unfortunately don't make it to the tavern as the girl trips you and knocks you unconscious.
---
You wake up in a cold, dark room. Tight thick rope bounded you while a piece of cloth gagged you. The floor was tiled and the ceiling was decorated with beaded strings that had a strange and eerie glow. Mysterious power emanated from strange symbols that were carved into the walls. You could almost see the symbols glow in the dark. The girl that knocked you out was bowing to a waxwing whose right half of her face was covered in an ornate mask.
You have done well, Ms. Nin. Arin will send you on another mission. You are dismissed.
The girl nods before she scuttles away. The waxwing looks at you with interest and starts poking and prodding you. Seemingly satisfied with what she found, she leaves you alone in the room for now.
(oh lol, computers are a pain sometimes)
I struggle a little, but it's no use. I glare at the waxwing, but I'm confused and scared for my life.
((please bold or quote my posts ^^

She smiled at your agreement. "Oh! I almost forgot," she said and went somewhere else to come back with a set of bow and arrows. "How silly of me. Here is the equipment you will be needing."
Gained:
Wooden Masinian Bow - Medium Quality
15 Arrows - Medium Quality
"If you don't need anything else, I will show you to your post."

(Of course, who could say otherwise)
Well, that went better than I was expecting. I land as soon as possible; I don't want to continue drawing attention by hanging around in the sky. I walk the rest of the way to the meeting place, trying to at least act like I blend in, even if not visually.
(That's a picture I didn't know I needed)
(You can do it, my brain is already burned out from writing essays xD)
There were chocolate recorders that could actually be played, warm candies shaped like flames that melted a thin sugar floss cloud that 'rained' on it, and rock candies shaped into thin petals.
Within around two minutes, the Archian finished ordering and the younger ones were already devouring the sweets and getting ready to burst with sugar.
Stepping away from the assortment of sweets, I walked up next to him, and, keeping my voice low, said, "So. Don't freak out or anything, but there's a guy who's maybe trying to murder you on that roof over there. Or they might be waiting to rob you, or kidnap you and your children... the possibilities are endless, really."
I pointed to the figure, trying to be discreet. Hopefully, they hadn't run off already and I wasn't about to look like a complete idiot, warning him about an empty rooftop.
"Hm?" He turns his gaze to look at you. "Yep, that's me!" He says with a smile as he spreads out his wings, accidentally whacking a passerby's face. "Oh, sorry!" His attention returned back to you, his friendly smile still there though he seemed a bit embarrassed about what happened. "Did you need something?"
((me, trying to write Omar at least semi-decently:
(Hahaha, reckon I'll get my comeuppance in Creature Kin in the form of Pinky the goblin's 'character arc' now xD)
My amusement is crushed by the sobering thought that the delivery master was pretty accurate. There was no way Omar was going to manage this adventure on his own.
In any case, I try to return his smile. I don't quite manage it, but I barrel on anyway to get straight to the point. "Well, nothing much really. I'd heard that you were preparing to go on an expidition to find lost temples and their relics, is all, and wondered if you could tell me a bit about it."
If I can find out his reasons for going, maybe I can better convince him not to get himself killed.

She dismisses your glare without a care.
Minutes pass by and the waxwing hasn't come back yet. You spot a crumbled up tile that has a sharpened piece. It would require a bit of rolling over and a lot more of cutting through, but it might help with the ropes tied around you.
Unless you wish to not do anything suspicious in fear of possible punishment or you have anything else in mind, it might be useful to you.

"Excellent!"
It doesn't take long before you're on top of a tower that's connected to a small wall encircling the house. In front of you was a long mountain range that formed a part of the boundary between inner Masina and outer Masina. The plants on the mountains swayed in the winter winds.
"If you wish to go to the other towers, you only need to climb down the stairs and go out the second door. The end of your shift is at sundown. Well, that's all. I'll be taking my leave now," Cuifen says and exits the tower.

You don't encounter many people, but the majority that you do pass by look at you with suspicion. Among one of them, a woman whispers to her servant who starts walking away from the small group the woman was with. The woman yells at her. The servant starts reluctantly running.
The meeting place is sheltered with thick foliage from prying ears and curious passerby. A little streams gurgles as it flows through its course. Your client paces around anxiously before seeing you. They're cloaked and masked, obscuring their facial features. The mask and layers couldn't hide the temporary relief in their voice though.
"You're here," they say. "Wait, where's the crossbreed? You didn't fail did you? Were you not able to sneak in?"
