Black Strings: Threads of Revenge

Around Town

Rain knocks on room 208. Tommy opens the door. "Morning". Tommy smiles. "Morning". Rain responds.

Tommy walks over to the kitchen. "What are you doing"? Rain asks. "I'm looking for any food I can use to cook you guys for breakfast". Tommy says. "You can cook"?! Rain was astonished. Tommy grabs eggs and milk from the fridge. "Does scrambled eggs sound good"? Tommy asks. Rain nods hesitantly. Rain finds a place on the floor to sit. He takes out a coin out of his pocket and fidgets with it.

Last night was... different. I'm going to see him tonight. Tommy! Get back on topic! We came here for a reason and that reason is to find out who killed our parents. I'm sure there would be cops in a city. I think that is where we should go first, just to see if they can help us.

Rain blows a little breeze toward Tommy. "Fuck"! Tommy yells, startled. The pan falls out of Tommy's hand and the scrambled egg mixture slides right out of the pan. Rain crackles. I would totally get you back with a small flame if I wasn't keeping my magic a secret. "Thanks to you RAIN, I have to make the scrambled eggs ALL OVER AGAIN". Tommy groaned. Rain smiled, "your reaction was quite funny though". Tommy sighs. I really want to make a puff of smoke in his face.

Tommy cleans the "supposed to be breakfast" mess. "You must have air magic Rain". Tommy notes. "Yep". Rain smiles. Toby sleepily hugs tommy, them Bumbledor lands on Tommy's head. "Good morning Toby, morning Bumbledor". Tommy smiles. He wraps one arm behind himself, trying his best to hug Toby. "Morning". Toby mumbles. "Morning Toby". Rain says.

After a few minutes of cooking the quartet eat their breakfast. "Thank you Tommy". Toby says with a cheek full of food. "Mhm". Rain smiles and nods. Tommy smiles, "your welcome".

"I was thinking we first go to wherever the officers check in for work to see if they can help us". Tommy proposes. "Why are we doing this? I don't remember at the moment what we are doing". Rain asks. "We are looking for the person who killed my parents". Tommy reminds. He stands up and walks over to the kitchen sink with his dirty dishes. Bumbledor flies around the hotel room quickly like he was a dog running around in a hotel room with the zoomies. "Bumbledor"! Toby yells. Tommy jump up and catches Bumbledor. "Thanks, Tommy". Toby thanks, Tommy. "No problem". Tommy smiles.

Benjamin- Tommy!
Tommy- yeah?
Benjamin- what's your spirit class?
Tommy- why?
Benjamin- a black spirit is wondering if I know the ultimate spirit. Out of all people I know, I don't know what your spirit class is.
Tommy- I took some sort of old test for that thing from a book, and it told me I am an ultimate undecided spirit.

"Why so quiet, Tommy"? Rain asks. "No reason". Tommy dismisses Rain's curiosity.

Benjamin- I'll tell the guy nope.
Tommy- thanks.
Benjamin- it's nothing to thank me for.

"Alright". Rain says, speculating otherwise. Shit. He might catch on to my lies. After washing and putting away the dishes, the group begins their search.

"Don't forget to lock the doors". Toby reminds. "Mhm". Tommy hums. Tommy goes to grab the topaz key after locking room 208. Forgetting that he gave Rain the topaz key, he pats his pockets and asks, "where is the topaz key"? Rain takes out the topaz key from his pocket. "I have it". Rain says as he shows Tommy. Tommy give a relived smile, internally sighing.

I really don't want to make a replacement key. I'd have to use my magic for that, and my secret stash of gems and gold too. Rain locks room 210. Walking down the stairs, Tommy hears something, becoming alert. "What is it, Tommy"? Toby asks. "I swear I heard something". Tommy mutters. "I didn't hear anything". Rain comments. "Alright". Tommy says. I swear I heard teleporting. Frederick waves his hand shouting, "did you guys lock the doors"? Tommy turns his body and gives a thumbs up.
