Haruko couldn't help but grin as Arlana called Arthur by her nickname for him; Frosty. She should really not say that when there are people around who don't know his name yet. Looking over to Finn, the battle seamstress lowers her right eyebrow slightly in confusion. "Yeah...what's being said about him? I'm not a member of the BHA, so I don't get the kind of gossip that you all do. If you need to call him, I can give you his number."
Soon, the group makes their way up the path and arrive at the warehouse itself, Haruko not noticing Goemon and Rin along the way. The battle seamstress admired all the trucks lined up outside of the entrance, most of them having their back doors open and being filled with various crates, boxes, large sculptors, and other interesting artifacts. Her surprise grew even more as she noticed all the people gathered at the front desk. Five people were at the desk; a native American man with a long ponytail in the back, a man with a distinctly flashy outfit that lacked any form of subtlety, a man behind the counter that she assumed was the receptionist, and two people that she began to recognize. Jose was the easy one to spot, as they had worked together in Kyoto before and there wasn't much different in his appearance from that day. The woman nearby was much less easy to recognize...as her size was noticeably larger, and was obscured by a large cape that seemed to match the aforementioned flashy man. It was only when Haruko saw her hat that she remembered that Eve was the only person she remembered with a hat like that.
Before she could walk up to the group, however, a man dressed in a blue suit and yellow tie steps in front of them, holding a clipboard. "Good evening, everyone. My name is Emil Roberts, representing this establishment's security for tonight. My employer seems to be a bit busy, so I'll sign you all in here." Taking out a pen and clicking the back button to reveal the pen tip, Emil looks back at everyone. "We have three main areas that need guarding tonight; the front entrance, the loading area to the west, and the upper deck. It appears as if the loading area and upper deck already have two people signed up for each. So if some of you could take a few of the front entrance slots, it would be appreciated."
Thinking for a moment, Haruko steps forward. "Hello, my name is Haruko Miyata. I'd like to take the front entrance, please." She had figured that they needed more people for that area, and with the amount of people here, it didn't make sense in her mind to take more spots that were filled with other people currently.

As soon as Arthur spotted Eve he flinched and unconsciously took a step back. He approached the clerk, making sure that there is at least one person, preferably two, between him and Eve at all times. "Ooh, we get to pick? Hm... Would I prefer guarding the front or is serving as the last line of defense in the loading area a better idea for someone like me? Well, I guess I'll take Lo-" A sudden thought struck him. If there were two people in loading and two people up top, then there's a 50% chance that he would end up in the same room as Eve if he took one of them.
"I'll take the front entrance. Make the job easier for those inside."

Eve giggled. "Hey Owen, I wear this so much better than you." She showed off how she had his cape over her coat. "Now, there's a lady in the unloading area? Who showed up before us?"

-Wait up Hernandez-kun!- Goemon left an upset Rin behind as he moved to follow his student. The Karate Star reached the desk and introduced himself. –Hello I’m Goemon Williams, you may know me from movies like “The Stoner Master”, “Ninja Musketeer Virgins” and “Kyoto Aflame”- He smiled, winked and rose his thumb with the kind of dumb charisma only 80’s action heroes and wrestling super stars have. –I’ll go to the same place my student went, the Upper Deck, right?- And with that said he followed Jose to guard the location.
Rin looked at the sky, she was making the utmost effort not to cry, the words Goemon said hurt her. She tried not to think about Gen… not to think about the guilt she felt, as all that guided Gen to getting injured was her fault, if she didn’t collaborate with her parents at the start of all that madness maybe Gen could’ve avoided capture, maybe he wouldn’t have spend half of the year out of combat, maybe he could’ve trained more… It was all her fault… Why didn’t she stand her ground against her parents back then? Why was she so weak?
She walked towards the desk and signed in. –I want to protect the loading area in the west.- She talked with a grave tone, hiding her feelings under a mask of apathy and professionalism. She even ignored Haruko Miyata, not wanting to crack her façade if the Seamstress tried to comfort her or talk to her about Gen. Hopefully they would accept her request, she didn’t want to be in the same area as Haruko.

“Uhm… thank you, Arthur” Arlana murmured and as he rubbed her hands awkwardly after hearing the winged guy answer. He sounded a bit annoyed by the nickname that Arlana had used by mistake, mostly because she didn’t remember his name. It was strange for her to act like a timid and almost defenseless girl, being the cheerful person she was but that whole situation was just too weird for her and she was finding herself without a solid floor to step it in and feel comfortable. Although her usual happy and kind of goofy self sometimes popped up, it was quickly drowned by that feeling of insecurity.
Walking silently behind the group, Arlana had her jaw dropped when they arrived at the MMS. The place was a blooming with activity, with workers going in and out of the building and loading all sort of boxes and strange objects to the trucks outside. From the outside it looked like an ordinary workplace but knowing that it was part of that strange thing called Hidden World, Arlana was simply amazed by the fact that something so big could be happening right under common people’s noses. As soon as it was on her sight, the Tarot apprentice felt a strange vibration on the back of her head that was very similar to the one she felt when holding Haruko’s hand.
The group entered the building and head towards the front desk, where a couple more strange individuals were checking in. After seeing the common like appearance of the storage from the outside, Arlana had to contain a nervous chuckle when she noticed the flamboyant and fantasy-like clothing of one of the guys inside and the African-american giant with the karate Gi. “Those two are as discreet as Sun staring at girl’s chest in the Cafe” She thought as she squeezed her lips to hide her smile as a man who presented himself as Emil Roberts asked where did they wanted to take guard.
“So… it’s just guarding this place? Thank god” Arlana thought and sighed relieved. “I’ll go to the front entrance too!” She said, the instant after Haruko declared she was going there. Arlana had met enough people for the day and Haruko seemed like the most normal of all, so she quickly decided to follow her. It was definitely better than going wherever that wolf-guy was going.

Jose slows down for his fellow bounty hunter and master. Though, he couldn't help understand his need to inform people about his movies. Still, at the latest mention of his movies, he quickly remembers one of his wishes to one day go to the movie theater. He never went before, and he would like to understand why people enjoy going one day to one of them. Once Goemon catches up to him, he asks, "Want to go to a movie theater with me someday?." He didn't want his first time he watches a movie at the movie theater to be bad, so he figure Goemon would know which movie he should watch to fully enjoy his experience.

The Team Begin to Form: Tensions Begin to Rise
As Finn and his group arrived to Mason’s Magical Storage he was a bit shocked to see how many people not just from the various BHA branches had signed up for the same job. The Hunting Wolf recognized Owen right away from his flamboyant personality and appearance which made Finn snicker. “Yo pretty boy has your face healed from where Cementerio clocked you one in the snot box! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Owen spun on a dime ignoring Eve comment along with the others in the room his eyes narrowing on slits on Finn. “I should have recognized that beastly odor from a mile away if it isn’t the Artemis Branch’s weak little puppy, Finn McGuinness. You know McGuiness if you spent the same amount of time you put into your jokes into bettering yourself maybe you would be a half decent bounty hunter. Your lack of improvement…sickens me!” Finn growled showing some of his animalistic nature as his flash his claw like hands, “What’s that pretty boy you want a piece of me? Because we can settle this and I’ll make what Cementerio did to you seem like a love tab? You want to talk about half decent bounty hunters from what I heard Cementerio made you look like a chump.” With every mention of Crow’s name it felt like Owen like stabbed deeper and deeper till he finally snapped. “SHUT YOUR MOUTH WOLF BOY! Crow Cementerio is nowhere near a bounty hunter of my elegance! He is a rebel and chaos personified! There is a reason that that he is rarely discuss for promotions and is currently being looked into! Your blind leadership to Cementerio shows how weak of a bounty hunter you truly are…it sickens me!”
There was a brief moment of silence that feel on the room as the Gentleman realized he lost his temper and his air of dignity and stormed out to the back area where the loading dock was to wait for the others. Meanwhile Finn growled slightly and glared at the receptionist before yanking the clipboard from his hand, “I don’t want to be anywhere near him so I’ll take the top area with the big guy and the younger one.” Finn pulled his hood up over his head and stuffed his hands into his pockets, “Crow is a great bounty hunter! I don’t know what that guy is talking about he is just a sore loser.” Owen sniffed at the air a little to get everyone scent he wanted to know who was he allies and be able to identity when the problems arose but something made his cringe and his nose wrinkle, it was the smell of tension between everyone. It seemed Owen and Finn weren’t the only two not seeing eye to eye. However a job was to be done so it didn’t matter who made friends with her, Finn decided to introduce himself to his two partners for the night. “Anyway I’m Finn McGuinness, I’m from the Artemis Branch. You two must be the other bounty hunters I saw take the job.”
