It's lunchtime. A pinch is a chance. I want my goddamn mayo.
The Travelling Magician: Beast's Bite
<i>The moon rolls across the cloudy night sky, and the smell of burning wood emanates from atop a grassy hill. The light says fire, but the scent says food. Propped up beside the fire pit is a bright yellow tent, and a cooking pot rests atop the smoldering flames, creating a savory aroma.</i>
"Getting hungrier... When'd I last eat anyway? Uh... The fruits! It was those weird fruits! Do I still...?"
<i> The man in warm attire begins to delve into the unknown depths of his bag, before retrieving a strange purple fruit. He holds this fruit toward his belt buckle, and it glows yellow before disappearing into a magic circle.</i>
"That's good... Real good..."
The Travelling Magician: Beginnings?
<i>The Nexus is fraught with many unique individuals, some wise, many dull, but none have come close to the grandeur of the ancient magician, who now makes his grand appearance.</i>
"What the... I don't remember sleeping here! Guess I had a party!"
<i> The glorious mage, Kosuke Nitou, has arrived. His rings glimmer in the light of the rising sun, sparkling with the magnificence of his great power!</i>
"I bet we had good food too! Too bad I can't remember it! Guess there's ONE way to check!"
<i> From his mystical cloak, he draws the divine condiment, pure white like the freshly fallen snow.</i>
"Topped off huh... Guess the party thing's a no-go!"
<i>Ah what wonder it must be to gaze upon such a glorious man.</i>
"ALRIGHT! Inventory time! Bag. Check! Rings. Check! Mayo. Check! Tent. Check! Everything's in order then!"
<i> And with that, the miracle working mage sets out into the harsh and unknown world!</i>
The Travelling Magician: Beginnings?
<i>Nitou turns over three of the skewers, and retrieves them. He parcels them out among those present, and whips out a cream colored bottle. He begins applying a thick paste to the top of his skewer, offering the bottle to the others.</i>
"Mayonnaise? It's good!"
<i>Nitou offers the bottle around, waiting for someone to take it.</i>
The Travelling Magician: Beginnings?
<i>The... Nitou scratches his chin, ok. He seems perplexed by the question about his origin. Of course, as he's preparing his long winded history lesson, the newcomer arrives.</i>
"We- Barista? Like coffee!? You got any food, man? I'm starvin' here! I'd even take one of those weird crunchy bread things!"
<i>He has a desperate look in his eyes. One which is quickly replaced by a look of confidence.</i>
"Ah ah ah, don't say it! You've lost your stock of food! I get that, but come on, dude! I'm in a bit of a- ohhhhhh! That means this is a chance! Let's get some food in our stomachs before we get to talking!"
<i>With a renewed fire in his eyes, Nitou begins marching along with a confident stride.</i>
The Travelling Magician: Beginnings?
<i>The grand and benevolent Nitou raises his brightest of smiles. The scrutinous look dissecting the statement down to the rhythm of the words.</i>
"Tokyo? No no... This is Bangladesh! Don't say it! I know what you're thinking! 'I guess this guy has a better grasp of geography than I do.' I know I know... but don't let it get to you! Even if this WAS Tokyo, I'm quite familiar with it, and its people are familiar with me! Kosuke Nitou! Judging by your name, I'd say you're a foreigner!"
<i>The strong and handsome wizard holds an expression that seems to thoroughly grasp the situation, but what will come of this chance encounter?</i>
The Travelling Magician: Beginnings?
<i>The gang comes to a clearing, a mound of ashes surrounded by rocks in the center.</i>
"Perfect! This'll do just nicely! Gather around! Give me some space, and I'll have us full in a jiffy!"
<i>Nitou scrambles around, performing various tasks such as gathering wood, and striking a fire. Very soon he has a good blaze going. He then digs out some skewers with various food items sticking off them wrapped in paper. He gives it a big whiff.</i>
"Still fresh! Let's get cooking!"
<i>Nitou lays a grill from his pack over the fire, and sets down the skewers on top of it. Pretty soon the area is filled with the pleasant aroma of grilled meat and veggies.</i>
"Almost done here, then we can sort out the storytelling!"
The Travelling Magician: Beast's Bite
<i>Some of the bulls shatter like glass, but those that make contact with the gauntlets explode with a violent magic energy. The explosion encompassing Dante in a golden magic circle, which flies back into the belt of Nitou. Dante would now find himself significantly less magical. The magic content actually being zero.</i>
<b>Seal Count: 2</b>
"Fills me right up! I knew a guy who teleported once! He wasn't that great a guy!"
<i>Nitou then charges with his sword held high, and his shoulder guarding his front.</i>
"I'll be using this mana of yours against you for a little bit! Just to keep Chimera happy!"
The Travelling Magician: Beast's Bite
<i>Nitou makes sure to place a hefty dose of mayonnaise on his stew before chowing down, between bites he attempts to continue the conversation.</i>
"I bet there's a market for steamrollers! Some people will buy anything y'know! Probably'd be a big break for the construction industry! I don't mean to brag, but I'm something of a bounty hunter myself! Except nobody ever pays for my bounties! All my bounties are for history! Get it? You don't have to say it, I know what you're thinking! 'This guy must be a really cool archaeologist!' You're right man!"
<i>Nitou seems to be enjoying his conversation, until he looks down in concern.</i>
"Aww, come on! I swear this always happens! You've got some crazy sort of magic, don't you! I thought I was gonna make it through the week, but then you go and stir this pot! I've got a beast to feed now you know! Take responsibility for this and lemme get some of your mana!"
The Travelling Magician: Beast's Bite
<i>Nitou sets a ring emblazoned with the symbol of the doors to a cage before his belt buckle.</i>
<b>DRIVER ON!</b>
<i>Nitou then slides a green and gold ring over his left middle finger, opting to wave his arms about in a mystical manner.</i>
"Trannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnsform!"
<i>Nitou launches his left arm out, then into the side of the now protruding belt.</i>
<b>SET! O P E N!</b>
<i>Nitou twists the ring in the slot, causing the gate to indeed open, revealing a golden lion with crimson eyes. A bright yellow magic circle appears before him, slowly bringing itself over his body.</i>
<b>L-I-O-N! LION!</b>
<i>The circle fades, and Nitou is nowhere to be seen. In his place stands a black figure with golden accents, a lion on his left shoulder, and a gold helmet with green eyes.</i>
"Looks like you're gonna be my main dish today! Don't hold back either, Chimera'd get upset if he had his food just handed to him!"
The Travelling Magician: Beast's Bite
<i>The invisibility fades to reveal a Nitou lying flat on the ground.</i>
"Well the seal's gone by now, so I guess we're done here! You can get out from behind the tent now!"
<i>Nitou lies there untransformed.</i>
"I sleep there you know... I get that bounty hunters operate outside the law most of the time, but can you at least have some decency to not try and get me to ruin my tent? Eh... Best thing to follow up a big meal is a big nap! Thanks for the meal!"
<i>Nitou crawls inside the tent, his fire now just a pile of smouldering ash.</i>
The Travelling Magician: Beast's Bite
<i>Surprised by the newcomer approaching, Nitou jumps back in surprise.</i>
"Dante... Devil-Slayer? That's a pretty cool name! You hunt demons!? That's probably really dangerous, but you know... that danger is probably a hit with the ladies! The name's Nitou Kosuke! If you're really huntin' demons, I want a piece of that action!"
<i>Of course, no conversation around a campfire can occur without a grumbling stomach.</i>
"You do bounties too? Must make lotsa money there! Can't say the same myself, my main goal is eating and living to the next day, yeah? Lemme see if this is done, that should do me good."
<i>Nitou begins to inspect the pot, revealing a meaty stew of some kind. It bubbles with a homely essence, and Nitou begins to ladle it out into small ceramic bowls.</i>
"Want some? I usually make more than I know what to do with these days!"
The Travelling Magician: Beast's Bite
<i>Some sparks flash off the bull's head, showing they hit their mark. Nitou draws a sword from a magic circle and pushes upward on a dial. A low drumroll begins to emanate from the sword. Nitou places his right ring into the sword, causing the drumroll to stop with a cymbal crash.</i>
<b>SIX! BUFFA SABER STRIKE!</b>
"Aw yeah! Lucky me!"
<i>A loud triumphant noise emanates from the saber, and Nitou slashes into a magic circle, summoning six large ferocious bulls. They seem to be almost running on the air.</i>
"This'll really fill me up, too!"
<i>The bulls seem to have little means to be avoided. Blocking or attacking to lessen the numbers is perhaps the only option. At least, that's what Nitou thinks, but we don't talk about what Nitou thinks.</i>
