Okay... i may had scared them even more by appearing infront of them out of knowhere.
But i had to do it.. i really did have to jump from a rooftop and land infront of them.
Its intimidation.. Mordred told me about it once long ago and i also did got scared when i watch her play that zombie game and the huge scarred zombie mutant with an rpg suddenly jumped down from the roof and land infront of the character.
And the effect that i wanted to happened also happened.. i can smell that thry had... peed themselves.
It didn't take long for me to get the extra info that i need like how long ago did Hans and Greta got kidnapped and where is old Joey exactly is.
Thats why currently i am walking to what i could say.. a bad part of the whole place... i can see some... some homeless people that is using.. some substances.. i.. this is honestly shocking to me.. i know stuff like this exist but i always saw it from the news.. not... not like this.
At least i had calmed down now, i'm not that... emotional like i was when i overgeard vipe and.. broski... who even named their kids broski... i really really hope that its just a nickname and not an actual name.
I really hope that Hans and Greta could hold on without me... i can't.. shit.. i need to focus more.
I glance around as i walk down even further into the bad part of the place and i can see less and less normal everyday people and more... more thugs and the homeless.
"Old Joey.... Old Joey..." i muttered under my breath as i continue to search for the elusive old Joey.
Vipe told me that Old Joey is a shady bar.... and i cannot see any bar in my line of sight.
Did they lied to me? No, they're too scared to lie.. maybe its just that i am looking in the wrong place.
But an old shady bar... a bar... yeah.. that could work.. hopefully, i never tried to do it like this before because i have no reason to.
I close my eyes and gather my Aura on my nose before i imagine the circuits and create pathways of it on my nasal cavity and nose before i pour my Aura into the circuits.
'nose reinforcement.. i'm becoming more and more creative.. i guess its true that i had stagnated in Orleans because of the lack of.. challenges for me to get creative.' I then take as deep of a breath as i can.
I immediately regret it as i get on my knees and squeeze my eyes in pain from the bombardement of smells and scent that is exploding in my nose.
I pinch the bridge of my nose to stave off the pain while i stop pouring my Aura into the circuits and take a deep breath of fresh air that isn't mixed in with.. everything.
"Stupid Jaune.. you should had use a low level reinfrocement.." i scolded myself because i should have known better.. i guess i am not that calm right now if i forgot the basic safety for using Aura reinforcement.
I then take a couple more breath of fresh air before i pour my Aura into the premade circuits that i still have on my nose and nasal cavity but this time i made sure to pour a small amount into it, just enough for me to have enchanced smell without repeating my previous mistake.
I then take a deep breath and i can smell... everything.. it still give me sensory overload but i can manage this level of sensory overload.
I can smell trash... a lot of trash... sweat... something that smells like its been dried out in the sun... more trash.. something... musky... ewwww.. and.. i take a deeper breath and smell the faint scent of alcohol.. not that i know what drinking alcohol smells likes, dad never drinks and most of the people in orleans never drink too.. the some of them that drink is usually mr.rock/the sailors and a couple of the retired hunters, so that meant that they usually frink away from the town center and probably on some place i don't know in the town.. i explore my town a lot but there are still some place i never goes to, not because its too dangerous for me but because i never see the reason i need to go there in the first place.
Back to the smell, well it smells like rubbing alcohol.. and drinks is alcohol so i think it should smell similiar.
I then take a few more deep breath to locate where the smell is coming from. *sniff* *sniff*
*sniff* "hmmm..." *sniff* "..its.. north?" *sniff* "yeah its north." I nodded to myself and stop pouring my aura and let the circuits fade away.
Thank god i was using reinforcement because i was going west rather than north.
After 20 minutes i finally arrive infront of the shady bar and look at the alleyway next to it.
"Thats gotta be the place" i talked to myself as i walk into the alley and follow the path, there are some footsteps.. 2 pair of an adult foot and a something that looks like its being dragged.
I continue to follow the footsteps until it reach the end and i had to take a look at my surrounding because i'm... outside....
The alley took me outside of the walls.... damn! They could be anywhere now!
I run back into the alleyway. 'The bar! They gotta be working for the red Cactus!'
'I'm to late!'
'I'm not enough!'
'I'm not fast enough!'
'I'm a failure!'
'I should be the one who got kidnapped!'
'They could be dying now!'
Those thought ran through my mind as i reach the bar and bust down the door.
"Where are they!" I pull out Croeca Mors and point it at the bartender, the people who is drinkung suddenly all stand up and pull put their weapons in shock.
I didn't notice a cloaked figure sitting at the corner of the bar watching me with wide emerald green eyes.
