Welcome to Gaia! ::

NPK Protection Agency Head Offices

Located in the lovely suburbs of Barton Town, the NPK Protection Agency Head Offices are where Kalassin, Purple Ducky, and Novem manage the budding Temmari contracting business. A big lit-up sign above the doorway proclaims "NPK Protection Agency", and signs in the refurbished shop windows proclaim "Guard those sigs!" and "Reasonable Prices!" The neighborhood is a nice one, with a coffee shop down the street, a park nearby, and convenient access to Gaian public transit.

Upon entering the first floor, one would notice comfortable chairs lining the walls to the left and right. Considering the stacks of magazines piled about, it looks to be some kind of a waiting room. In those chairs sit a bored looking lanky young man with long blue hair, and two cute and short-haired boys having an energetic game of crazy eights. Colorful posters of foreign lands and exotic looking people line the walls. It almost gives the place the air of a travel agency... almost. A slightly battered but large wooden desk sits at the far end, with a computer and telephone sitting on it, and a little sign noting "Please ring bell for service". The back wall has a large whiteboard with "New Arrivals!" written on it, with names and times and little doodles at the corners. Slightly behind the desk there are two doors, one with a set of stairs leading upwards, and another wide open and leading into a back room...

The back room is a flurry of activity, and quite the mess compared to the neat and tidy front room. Three desks are to be found, all bearing lots of clutter and junk. There's an old-fashioned filing cabinet in the far corner, with a sign written in crayon hanging off it stating "DO NOT TOUCH! RABID". Hmm, now what could that mean? Bolts of cloth are piled in one corner, along with a full-length mirror and a kit full of makeup. Off to the left is a bathroom, as well.

Upstairs leads to a few hapazardly furnished and inhabited rooms. It's something of a Temmari dormatory up here, a place to crash when there's nowhere else to go, and a place to wait to be assigned a contract. Ask at the front counter, and perhaps one can be rented.

"MISS NOVEM~~~~!!" Cairn wailed, being way out of character. "MY WINGS JUST TRIED TO MAKE ME COFFEE!!"
Chiisuchine looked up from her music at this interupption and set down her pen. "That's normal for Incubi." she said in a small, whispery voice that anyone could only assume that was her 'quiet time' voice. "Your wings give you abilities, Cairn-"
"BUT I DON'T WANT TO ATTACK PEOPLE, SEDUCE THEM AND STEAL THEIR SOULS!"
"-Rin, like shapeshifting and flight. Couple those abilities with your natural Zana skills, and you're set for life." Chiisuchine continued in the whispery voice, unruffled. "And I don't see why you're telling Novem when I'm right here."
Cairn stopped and sniffled, before mumbling, "I need a hug..." Chiisuchine grinned and gladly gave it to the Zana God of Men and Light. Sil Yin made gagging sounds... however, it wasn't for long, as a purple-clad Tahnee burst in and tackleglomped her.
Sil-chan! Sil-chan! she yelled, her mental voice holding a feel of hyperactivity. Guess whaaaaatttt~~~~!

Chiisuchine shook her head, brushing black hair out of her eyes. "No, we're not lost. I believe I contracted a Temmari named Onoe Anatan about two days ago." she said politely in her normal voice. "We're just waiting for him-"
-And I want him to hurry up! Kijo mind-spoke peevishly. My experiment can only wait for so long before I have to go. she informed Cesto, as if he could do anything.
Sil Yin shrugged the young witch tahnee off her shoulders, glancing behind her unobtrusively to make sure Kijo was okay.

Chiisuchine winced and only uncovered her ears once PD entered teh rooms. "Yes, I am here to sign the contract. And, of course... I brought moon cakes. Despite Cairn's best efforts to get at them." she explained. Kijo nodded.
He wanted to get at them because his wings were trying to make coffee. she said calmly, shrugging. Sil-chan offered to cut them off for him, but he said no. The tahnee looks a bit confused at this, like getting your wings cut off was some kind of treat only special people got. Mummy, is Onoe-kun a guy? Kijo asked after a moment.
Sil groaned. "Onoe-kun IS a guy, otherwise he'd be Onoe-chan. And I doubt he'd appreciate a little sprite like you calling him Onoe-kun. Stick to -san until you've met him, baka."

Kijo turned to the people, bouncing hyperactively on one foot. NPK Protection Agency~! she mind-spoke happily. I'm Kijo, my mummy's the one with the pretty black pairs of wings and her name is Chiisuchine Rao but she prefers to be called Rao-chan or Chii-chan but me 'n my siblings all call her Miss Chii or Mummy, and the grumpy-looking but pretty one is my sister, Sil Yin, and the one who's looking really terrified is my brother Cairn Rin~! she explained, while Chiisuchine blushed at being called pretty.

Chiisuchine bowed back to Aetherion, nodding and saying in her quiet voice, "It is nice to meet you." she smiled, straightening.

Aetherion nods his head slowly, he didn't even so much as jump when they appeared behind him, however the hackles on the larger wolf rose as he turned around, Nekura aiming his flamethrower towards one of the Temmari, "Nekura, no torching." he reprimands quickly and quietly.

After Novem finishes speaking, Aetherion nods his head slowly, "I see, this is good, I'd like to hire a Temmari to protect my son Nekura. He may seem quite dangerous and honestly, he is...in most situations, but in one where a battle breaks out, he would be relatively unprotected, same with kidnapping and various other such actions." he states.

"I can provide gold for the Temmari's services, as well as an aether weapon of their choice. It won't break, can't be dispelled and can even be used to block magic. Of course, I will have to spar with the Temmari first to make sure he or she is skilled enough." Aetherion says, his tone business like.
