&quot;Hehehe.. Man, the people here sure are relaxed.&quot; <i>A shorter young woman comments as she passes through the park. Despite their cheerful manner and wide smile, they have an almost crazed look in their eyes. The woman wears a long, black coat that goes past her far too short black shorts, a simple outfit whose sense of order contrasts with the woman's long, wild, hairstyle. The woman doesn't seem to be hiding anything, leaving wolf-like ears and a tail visible for anyone who looks closely enough. For now, they breathe out a sigh of relief as they walk through the park, passing by the young man without a care in the world.</i>

&quot;ooh, so you're one of those canaries they let find the mine eh?&quot; <i>Lappland chuckles to herself while carefully observing Phillip's reaction to her little joke. The woman briefly glances at his hand, but doesn't seem willing to accept</i> &quot;You should really be more careful around strangers. Ya wouldn't want to catch any fatal diseases after all.&quot; <i>Once again, the woman pauses to observe his reaction before giving her own title in return</i> &quot;Lappland's what everyone calls me. Just here on a little mission of sorts. Nothing for an explorer like you to lose your head over.&quot;

&quot;Sounds boring. Can't ya just work as a bodyguard or somethin' and deal with them directly? Sound way more interesting than snooping around.&quot; <i>Lappland crosses her arms with a sigh, before giving Phillip a wide, almost maddened grin</i> &quot;Oh? You really think you can handle a girl like me? Think carefully now, there could be grave consequences&quot; <i>Lappland laughs for a few seconds, once again satisfied with her own jokes, but it only takes a moment for her to calm down and give Phillip a sly, sideways glance.</i> &quot;I am a mercenary y'know, so we've got a similar field. Sure would suck to have to kill ya though.&quot;

&quot;Hmm?&quot; <i>The woman turns to look at the man who talked to her, the woman blinks for a moment before an almost unstable grin crosses her face once more.</i> &quot;I guess ya could say I've seen a thing or two, yeah. Near as I can tell there're none of the major actors here. City stays in one place too so you'll always be able to find it.&quot; <i>Lappland can't help but notice the man's lack of any special features when he removes his hat, but it wasn't really her style to pester people. About that anyways.</i> &quot;I take it ya got lost? Look like it happens to ya alot.&quot;

&quot;True ya have to wait a bit, but whenever they get there you can have a real, straight-up fight. And THAT'S when the fun starts. Even if nothing happens, there's bound to be plenty of people to toy with.&quot; <i>Lappland giggles to herself, apparently lost in thought all of her own. Still, the woman never breaks eye contact with him. Soon, the woman stops laughing and simply smiles</i> &quot;Oh you are fun! Maybe I will drag you around a bit.&quot; <i>Lappland lets out a sigh, tilting her head curiously before letting out another laugh</i> &quot;Give it a little time. If I haven't scared ya off yet you're bound to end up in the right crowd. Or wrong, I guess. Its a matter of perspective really.&quot;

My favorite Waifu is Moon Man

&quot;Of course that's how science works. I'm not a doctor but everyone knows its based on Arts. Old man must be crazier than me.&quot; <i>Lappland laughs aloud. Just.. Letting Kai go for it so she can show him. The old man brings out his flamethrower, a tool the likes of which Lappland'd seen several times before, and slashes through the air as soon as its active, just like before.</i> &quot;You're gonna have to try harder than...&quot; <i>Though the wind cuts through the fire momentarily, it doesn't react with Kai's equipment, allowing the gear to function as normal to burn his opponent. Despite the clear injuries, Lappland seems more surprised than angry</i> &quot;Alrighty then what's going on? It should've reacted with your own arts to turn the fire back into whatever the hell's fueling that thing.&quot;

&quot;Looks pretty.&quot; <i>Lappland chuckles as the fire approaches. She swiftly brings her sword up, letting the resulting dark-tinged blade of air fly through the flames. As it does, the previously beauitful cone of fire rapidly decays into nothingness, leaving only the blade of air sent at Kai</i> &quot;Pretty easy to destroy that is.&quot;

<i>With her attack done, Lappland flips back off of Kai, his fist missing the girl's main body, but igniting her long, flowing hair instead.</i> &quot;OOooh close one.. Hehe... Something burning?&quot; <i>it only takes the woman a moment to realize her hair was alight as the heat begins to spread to her tail. IN one swift motion she slices off a good chunk of her now-burning mane, bringing the fire to a halt instantly</i> &quot;Flame-based Arts then? Pretty weird for an Ærgian. Interesting...&quot; <i>Lappland lets out a cackle before rushing Kai again, this time aiming her slash vertically as she keeps a close eye on her opponent.</i>

&quot;Kinda. I mean ya know how Arts work right?&quot; <i>Lappland raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms. The old dude's silence had seemed kinda weird to her, but she's always been considerably more excited than her opponents so it wasn't that weird.</i> &quot;Just putting a bit of my Arts in to disrupt the connection for a bit. Its a little unstable though so it'll probably decay in a few seconds.&quot; <i>Just as Lappland said, he'd find the disruption clearing up in a matter of seconds, leaving him fully capable again</i> &quot;'course, a few seconds is all ya really need.&quot;
