Name: Scammer! Rank: C Posts Limit: 6 Objective: A few seniors in the town of Magnolia have been reporting a scammer. The said person is pretending to be working for water company who checks on the water and always picks on seniors. The person just makes the seniors do things they don't want to, for example give money. Go talk to the city Mayor about this assignment and start right away. Reward: 300 Jewels Exp: 40 exp Calyco entered a fancy house at the top of Magnolia, she has never been in this district ever so all this was a new experience. Rik followed closely behind her with his straw hat on and a bamboo stick in his hands and the duo knocked on the door. Soon a blond maid opened the door and they were led inside the house, first thought the bright hallway containing many pictures then to a guest room where the Mayor was seated drinking something from a glass. Her first guess would be it was alcohol but that proved wrong as soon as the Mayor started to speak "Would you like a glass of apple juice?" Calyco nodded and the maid ran off to the kitchen. "Now to the bussiness. I want you to apprehend this culprit who is picking on those poor seniors. I don't want to be called a ruthless Mayor who does't care about elderly in our city right?" the Mayor showed her a map of the city and then the list of addresses that those people lived in and got robbed.
The maid came in with a glass of apple juice and Calyco would have a sip, not bad she thought then turned her attention towards both documents. "Well, lets see if there is a pattern with these robberies." she pulled out a pen and started to mark all the houses corresponding to the address list one by one while the Mayor walked around the room looking out the windows from time to time or sip from his glass, Rik was looking closely at the map and his only job was to analyze the data. She was seeing a pattern in all this even before Rik could tell her but the panda also estimated the place of the next robbery and let her know in whispers. Calyco nodded then informed the Mayor they knew what to do now and that he could leave it in their capable hands. She drank all the juice on her way out of the house and handed the glass to the maid who led them outside.

"Well, lets go to that house now. But it looks like we don't know which elderly apartment the robber will hit." she said to Rik. They arrived at the place around 30 minutes later, the two disctricts were really far from each other and she didn't want to take a carriage although they still had time till dawn. They entered the house and headed straight up to contact the house owner who with no suprise was an old lady. She invited them inside and Calyco started to explain the situation, she informed the lady there will probably be fighting if the person would try to resist their capture. She then used this apartment as a headquarters and posted Rik at the rooftop of the house and wait for the water works pretender and signal her as soon as he was here. Rik was very good at these things, no use in combat but these sort of things were his.
They waited and waited but nothing happened, maybe they were off and that person went into another house. Rik was rarely ever mistaken with his maths though and so they waited some more. She was half asleep when she got a call from Rik, he has seen someone really suspicious, she stood up and went out of the apartment to the hall to watch where he was heading. The person just happened to go into the first floor right into the first apartment, Calyco signalled Rik to fly over to that apartments windows from outside, luckily it was wide opened and so the panda slipped inside. As expected the person said there is something with the water in this apartment and that he is here to have a look at it, the elderly man didn't suspect anything and let him in.

When he was inside, he asked to see the water central system to take on readings, the old man led him to the bathroom and opened a small box, the man started to make readings. It was just the usual water check thingy and nothing looked suspecious yet. The old man brought some water for the guy checking the reading who expectadly drank it all then something happened, Rik wasn't sure but the man asked his elder if he could give him 1,000 jewels. To their suprise the old man did what he was asked to do and delivered those money to the man who calmly thanked him then left the apartment with saying everything was alright.
It was all evidence they both needed to apprehend this thief but how he did that was a mistery which will be solved really soon. Calyco quickly rushed down to wait for that person outside, after all she didn't want to damage the house or anything. Rik was stationed at the window just above the door leading in and out of the house just in case. When the man came outside she would smirk "Well well, aren't we sneaky? You should return back those jewels to that old man and come with me.". The man was caught offguard and began to mumble something in his beards but then he smiled "I don't know what you are talking about, I am just an ordinary worker trying to earn his living. The money I always receive is for my good work." he said with a calm voice then tried to leave.

Calyco stepped forward "Don't try to bluff me, I heard everything." the man would laugh again "Well in that case" he threw his bag full of tools at the mage then started to run away. She caught the bag then rushed after him but it was evident he was faster and she will definitely lose him. Seeing no other alternative the mage pointed her hand at the mans feet then shot up her Light beam missing only by little. The man got scared a little and decided to stop then turned around "I see, so you are a mage too." he smiled with his hands in posture, one movement of his finger on another produced a fire line which was sent towards her. She was still running and so the spell would miss her trajectory.
So this guy was a fire mage but that still didn't explain how he got the money, he must have another ability as well. Rik followed closely behind again however high in the air making him not spottable at the moment. The culprit snapped his fingers together again and produced another line of fire but she countered it with a Light Beam attack midair, both spells exploded and produced a slight smoke. After it cleared out the mage was nowhere to be seen, where could he have hidden. Something flashed between buildings nearby and she decided that was the way he used to escape so she followed. The passage was very small and could only fit two people next to each other at most. Something flashed again, something purple.

She bumbed into a wall which she didn't see then tried to get back into the chase but when opening her eyes something flashed at them blinding her for a while then when she came into senses the man was standing there, she wanted to cash a spell but something prevented her from doing so. "Now, tell me. Who do you work for." said the man now looking more handsome than ever and more elegant and everything, he was just charming. All feelings of a culprit dissappeared and replaced them with feeling of familliarity, was this man some kind of a famous actor? "The towns Mayor hired me to catch someone pretending to work for a water company to rob a few elders." she said to the man willingly. What was happening, why is this so she wondered.
The man would thank her and ask politely "I am Balthazar the COOL mage, would you like me to give you an autograph for exchange for a few 500 jewels?". This totally sold her out, grabbing the wallet then looking at the content revealed she only had 110 jewels and so she said "I am sorry, 110 jewels is all I have, will it be enough?" the man nodded and she prepared to hand over her money but something subconcious told her not to hand all money out to strangers and then she started to doubt the decision. Why would she give all her earnings away, she is short on money to buy some parts so why is she doing this. She looked up at the charming man then realized the charming in the sentence. "This is charm magic right?" as soon as she realized the spell broke.

"Ah, so you have figured it out. You are pretty good huh." the man smiled and grabbed her wallet then made a run for it. It wasn't good, the wallet was gone which made her really angry. In this little narrow passage her spell would sure not miss, Light Beam was shot at the man hitting him on his shoulders, he hissed then turned back "You..... nasty little...." he made his hands on fire than dashed at her trying to hit and he would have in this narrow passage was it not for her Bright Sun spell which blinded the man just when he was so close to her. He got a little dissoriented which gave her the change to give him a punch in the stomach and a sidekick on his bent head. The man quickly fell on the floor but slowly got up, he is tough.
She kicked him once again in the stomach just to be sure but he blocked it this time and pulled her leg towards him making her fall over. He got up with hands on fire a prepared to punch her but her reflexes were fast even when on the ground this meant she put her hands together casting a Light Sphere around her, light appeared and the man was inside the range getting hit by the magic sent him to the ground for good with minor burns. This was a good lesson to the thieve, Calyco returned the money to the old man at his apartment then turned this thieve to the authorities. Another happy mission completed, well first one actually.
