Anabel entered the tavern and took a seat at a VIP table. She swiped her membership card to open her tab. She made a few purchases on the monitor. She pulled a bottle, a cub and a container of ice to her table and made herself a drink.

-I wonder if something fun will happen today.-

She often stayed there. She had been waiting for some time for someone to arrive.

Anabel smiled without looking directly at him.

-I hired you, knowing full well how chaotic your life is. We've had a shortage of jobs since our goddess disappeared. When our new one appeared, the jobs haven't exactly been rolling in. She said she's still feeling things out to know where we stand exactly. Which is completely understandable considering all of the changes. The world is still setting itself in place. I myself wonder just how long the reign of Queen Gwydion will last before something changes again. The woman on the throne is certainly strong enough, but she's a Knight. I'm not sure if the throne can hold a leader who only knows how to follow. She surrounded herself with terrifying individuals. It appears she will attempt to rule by fear and strength. A recipe for disaster. There have been rumblings of a rival kingdom sparking up as well. The disappearance of a certain "Happy-Go-Lucky" Queen has me fairly curious.-

She frowned after reading his mind, a thing she did often, without trying.

-You are aware you have been tampered with correct?-

She asked him because she actually couldn't see his thoughts clearly. Something was VERY off about him.

Anabel smiled and leaned closer.

-Now, if they were bugging me, then I would say they are bored. You don't realize just how fascinating a person you are. I mean, over the past year alone, think of every title you can claim. You were as big as a king, a candidate for godhood and you happen to be a member of the E.P.D. . You are perhaps the farthest thing from boring.-

She leaned back.

-I try not to look so high, as it does distract me from what's happening around me. But it's obvious that a war is on their horizon. You probably come up so often because you haven't picked a side in this upcoming war. Naturally they will seek the strongest "free agents" on the board. And when I say on the horizon, I mean sometime well beyond even your timeline. People time and their time are not the same in the slightest. This is but a hypothesis, so don't take my word as law or anything. You do know this is the famed Tavern founded by a band of children right? No one is going to stop you from drinking an already purchased beverage.-

She ordered him another and another for herself as well.

Anabel smiled.

-You know, giving me something like this has three potential outcomes.-

She nodded.

-I'll accept it. Thank you. I wonder what point in time will be influenced by this moment.-

She couldn't see herself using a gun ever. But having one, she wondered if a moment would require her to use it.

Anabel was started suddenly as she got a call on her com. Only the Goddess contacted her on her com and had not heard from her until now. She listened carefully through a very long order. It was there new policy. When she was finished with the updated policy. She sighed heavily.

-You may come to regret that. I hope not though. New orders are in. And it's going to change the department entirely.-

She folded her arms.

-How do you feel about hunting down trouble making super beings? Apparently things are snowballing so far out of control due to the influence and acts of certain deities. While we cannot do much to stop them, we can stop their henchmen. And It seems that gun will be used a lot sooner than I would have liked.-

She wasn't a fan of the STN, so doing the now defunct organizations methods and tactics were a serious bother for her. But balance had to be restored.

Amora crashed down onto the table and tumbled to her feet.

I'll be darning nothing thank you. You really did it this time. You really nixed every bit of work I put into helping you and your family, and you just crap it all away. My Darkness Elemental lost her status. Skylar's dead, Athena's dead, you returned Anna to Shannan mode, which royally messed up one of my plans, because she broke the spiritual pact between my mom and Diabolos.

She looked uncharacteristically angry and she was pouting.

I have a civil war in my realm, and now some big pieces are both missing and don't remember jack. Not only that.... But now, Everyone who had a grudge with you, is going to remember that grudge! Particularly the weapon wielding psycho Creed. You're forcing my hand here. If you can't get the psycho armor to behave, i'm going to have to take action, and you're going to be missing an evil side. Now that that's...

She paused and walked over to Aoshi. She stared at him.

Between you and that Caster boy. I don't know who has the worst case of Stasis Fever. The only known remedy is an Activity shot or Pseudo Sickness. When is a doctor going to study.... That reminds me. I need to make an elemental of Medicine. Where is the dragon with the bad-ass coat?

Shestarted pulling up floor boards to search.

Amora was started by Aoshi moving again, much sooner than she expected. She slowly turned back to Leon.

You're as complicated as you wanna be. If you want to live without chaos, all you have to do is live without chaos. As the leader of your family, they go where you lead them. If you lead them down the path of earth and destruction, that what they will see and experience.

She stopped looking for the dragon doctor since Aoshi seemed to be recovering.

When you sit on a throne, you establish a monarchy. It' all eyes on you. Both admirers and detractors alike will swarm. While your kingdom may be lost, you, the original leader, still exist. So you still have both admirers and detractors. And because of that, even your children are targets of both high praise and high criticism.

She stepped up on a table and walked towards Leon, walking on the air to get there.

And I hate to break it to ya. But you are still the leader of the Mythos. And you can't lead them from a bar. Unless you want them to be drinkers, then stay right here. What I'm saying is. Do what needs to be done, not what you want to do.

She started using magic to construct a very heavy war hammer.

Totally unrelated. But I think I may have cloned you by accident. So, if you ever run into yourself somewhere in the world. Just touch them and they will merge with you. Nothing creep though. Selfcest is a thing.

Amora tilted her head.

Probably a bad time to tell you that you're the copy. Oh well. If you really want to cover all your tracks, your gonna need a few more copies. You have a wife to find, a kid or two or three to find.

She sat down on Aoshi's lap.

Why do people do this to this guy. I don't get it.

She rocked from side to side.

Hmmm.... something poking my-

She pointed at the counter.

I forgot to summon the elements to wreck the world! I god sidetracked by all of these non-issues i keep helping to solve!!!

She swung her hand up at Aoshi's forehead.

Get your obnoxiously large finger off my butt.

Amora grabbed a plastic fork. She used the fork to pick up and nibble on the cake while she appeared to have gotten really sad.

D-did you just call the world "worthless garbage"?

She went quiet and started to sniffle as she started rubbing her eyes.

I'm doing my best okay! It's not like I had a bazillion years to fix it like everyone else.

She started sobbing loudly, still trying to nibble at the cake while her nose was running.

Amora calmed down enough to actually speak.

You *sniffle* you really really promise.

She wiped her eyes and calmed down more. After a few moments, she seemed back to her norm.

If you call me mom, that would make you lot a bunch of Nana family members and not Mythos. So how about something close yet not related. Something like a Nanny. So how about you call me Nana.

She did not catch on to it being a nickname for a Nanny and being her literal last name.

Spectavia arrived at the tavern with Hauntavia, still following the candy that was set in front of her. Drooling for the snack, she locked her sight onto the candy, ready to jump at it at any moment

So since I'm not a dog, and I was nice enough to bring you all the way over here, how about you let me have that piece of candy.

She put her hand into her bra, pulling out a long and thin piece of candy

Hauntavia waved her finger.

After you turn in your application to Amora.

Hauntavia pointed to Amora

She looks at Hauntavia with a pissed off look

You know that I am not a dog right, buuttt, since you asked nicely, I guess i could go and turn it into her

Spectavia held ion her urge to drool, doing as Hautavia told her to, but realized, she doesn't have her paper

Well shit

She turns to Hauntavia smiling with a stupid smile

I kinda lost it

Spectavia started to laugh feeling like it was no big deal

Hauntavia poofed up to her normal size and wrapped her arms around Spectavia.

You did your best and i'm proud of you.

Hauntavia gave her the candy bar she had been chasing for so long. She heard a screechy, grating sound on her ears. She looked over her shoulder and saw Leon, still sounding like a berserk fruit bat.

Oh, right, him.

Hauntavia cancelled the curse she put on him which made him sound like an annoying creature to people he was in negative favor with.

Ah, target sixteen. What was it you said just now?

Hauntavia listened to his question from a moment ago.

This lovely princess is my precious wittle baby Spectavia! Isn't she so precious! Mama is so proud of her!!

Hauntavia hugged her tighter as her daughter seemed to be in some kind of trance as she ate the candy.
