"It's not a game," Sylga replied half-seriously. "This could very well save your life one day! Give it a try, I'll pull you back up if you fall. Just try and copy what I'm doing!." The pirate proceeded to freestyle stroke over too the girl again, exaggerating all movement to try and be helpful.

Ichiko Uzi stood just outside the city waiting for her partner to arrive at their agreed meeting point. Under the cover of darkness she has a dark green cloak on and has chosen to appear in her natural state. The western clothes felt so strange and she is still getting used to them. So many new sounds, smells and of not for a translation spell a new language to learn as well. Everyone else had observation goals whereas hers, since she could blend in so well, was to get as close achademy as possible without giving away her position. She fiddles with a sebon that she hides in her cloak and sleeves of her dress. She looks up at the night sky, the stars were so different here. Still she was on a mission to prove herself to the Emporer and protect her country

Unlike her to-be partner, Mayleen codename Evette was already in her full disguise. Previously black hair was now blonde, half braided and have pulled to the side as a black hat with small veil rested on her head, giving off an air that fit the culture that didn't seem from a poor-man's country. A black dress went to her ankles, and over it all was something a bit less European; a black cloak that would keep her from view. Of course, such was fruitless as the horse she road was quite noticeable.
Hidden in her hair was a dagger, and other weapons were also hidden in multiple places, such as other daggers, shuriken, a vial of poison, and her all important wand. These things were what kept her calm as she road,knowing that the people here would not hesitate to kill her of they knew her identity. Actually, scratch that. If they really knew who she was, they would run. Mayleen was efficient and anyone who knew her knew that she could kill them quickly if need be. Yes, they would run.
In the distance, Mayleen saw a figure in a green cloak; yes. Here was her partner. Slowing her horse, Mayleen approached the figure as she quietly greeted, "Rosemary Locklin?" in a perfect european accent.

Ichiko looks up and sees May-chan on her horse. "Greetings Evette. Any news from home?" she calls their code for new information. Ichiko code name Rosemary liked the girl well enough and admired her ability to disappear so well. It took Ichiko months to get that down. A hawk screeches in the air and Ichiko holds her arm out to receive the bird. It lands and she takes the message. The bird flys off to a near by tree awaiting a response.
"you should take this." she tells her partner. Ichiko couldn't read very well and this was one of the reasons they were partnered together.

As Ichiko spoke their code, Mayleen reached up and slid off the hood of her cloak, giving a curt nod to her new partner. Then she swung one foot over and slid off her horse. The violin case that was hung over her under her cloak thumbed on her back as she moved. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Rosemary." She spoke softly, just before the bird arrived.
Taking the message, she unrolled it and read it quickly, as she finished she rolled it quickly back up and held it over her hand, setting the message alight and letting the ashed fall to the ground before summoning a quill and parchment and scribbling her reply, passing it off to the hawk who flew off into the night. Once it was safely gone, she turned to Ichiko and gave a satisfactory smile.
"We've been given our mission. As you've heard, rumors have been floating about the European many kingdoms slowly turning against wizard kind and persecuting them. We are to infiltrate and gain Intel from a 'training academy' for witch hunters that its being established by the Saxony monarchy."

Ichiko nods at this and asks "How would you like to go about this? I think I'll be a maid since it won't be much different from work at the palace. You?"

Considering her options for a moment, Mayleen decided to go for a mixture of her best cover and something that would for sure get her into the academy, and in a position to here information. Lifting up her cloak a little, Mayleen pushed her violin case just into view of the other girl as she explained,
"I plan to go in as a nurse who is also a violin player. That way I can provide some entertainment for the students and catch their conversations along with being able to gather information through the medical department."

"sound good to me. This way we can cover different areas. We'll need to be wary of the man who runs it. I haven't heard anything good about him." She tells May-chan. "Have you heard anything about what magic users here are doing? I've heard some rumors of a gathering for some sort of resistance."

"Yes, the founder is James Saxony. King of the immediate area, and with some sort of hatred against magical kind. He's intelligent and not to be underestimated, and he also is very, very dangerous." As she spoke, Mayleen looked off into the distance; toward the man they would have to eventually bring down.
"I haven't heard much, they are being very low key to stay out of range of the hunters. We'll have to keep an ear and eye out for information, but keep in mind that the resistance is not in our objectives."

"I know, but we should keep an eye on them. After all, if they do decide to fight that could cause us trouble. Where did you get the horse from?" Ichiko aka Rosemary asks her.

"If they decide to fight, it could help our cause," Maylee corrected. As Ichiko mentioned to horse, Maylee smiled softly and guestured to the horse, "Well, I may have 'borrowed' him. Don't worry though, it was pretty far away and horses get lost all the time. And you can be sure I left no tracks."

" I ment that if they draw too much attention to themselves it could make the academy trainers frustrated and suspicious. Though one wonders how they plan to fight magic users. I know we have weapons that can take down both k inds of people, but people here don't use things like that from what I've seen." Ichiko tells her while carefully extracting her wand, which is disguised as a hairpin, from her hair and twirls it in her fingers.

"The resistance won't affect us," Mayleen assured. "As long as we don't give them any reason to connect us, their should be no problem, no matter what the resistance does."
"Well, any muggle weapon can hurt us. If one of them got the jump on a magical being, we could easily be killed. Plus, many wizards don't have the education they need and won't know how to properly defend themselves. Still, it is mostly the muggles underestimating our power; many of us won't have a problem escaping."

"True. I've heard that many of the men from the villag are planing on leaving for the academy soon. We should head there as soon as possible. Think you can leave without arousing suspicion amongst the villagers here? The ones at the inn I've been in are nosy." Ichiko asks in concern. Out of all the people who she's worked with Mayleen is the best of the batch. Not clingy to her or too eager to kill people and she knew too many of the latter. It was nice to have someone mostly sane, well as sane as you could be with this job.

"Yes, I haven't made a spectacle of myself, and they hardly give any thought to me. I though be able to leave without a problem."
Unlike Ichiko, Mayleen had yet to form an opinion at all. She normally reserved such until she knew another person better.

"good. And lucky you. I'm half tempted to change my look again. Maybe I should go for something like this.." she pauses as her hair color changes to a mousy brown and rounds her face. Doing a quick spell on her dress so it will still fit she changers her body type to something with less curves and her skin becomes lightly tanned. "What do you think?" she throws a questioning look to May-chan.

Right. Her partner was a Metamorphmagus. Mayleen had been briefed about this, but it was still a bit to see in person, an oh so very helpful.
"Perhaps, however as this is a male-dominant world it may be better to... appeal to their primal nature."

"not if I'm a maid. It is much better if I am not noticed well, not noticed anymore than servants ever get noticed. People tend to say things when they think no one can hear them. To each their own though." She reminds Mayleen, seeing her slight discomfort at her morphing she laughs a bit. "Ah, they really do need to come up with better description for this ability of mine. Still you held better than my last partner. The first time I showed her, she flapped her arms about and screeched like a bird."

"The fact that we are female at all, usually provides us a level on being unnoticed on it's own, being pretty simply allows you to better get what you want when you wish to do so. Of course, with your abilities you could away change if need be, as you say, to each their own." At the implication that Mayleen had been at all discomforted at her ability, Mayleen quickly took up an annoyed tone,
"I assure you, I have no mind for your ability. As long as it does not hind your ability to work, and I'm certain it in fact does the opposite, it is of no worry of mine."

"I'm glad to hear it. Makes working together easier. You'd be surprised how many people are put off by it. Still I'm glad I'm able to do something with it." She tells Mayleen.

"That's ridiculous. Put off by an ability that is actually helpful in the field? I'm luck I'm good at charms that change appearance, but to be able to change at will would be incredibly useful in quick escapes."

"It has to do with the fact that I, could easily make my self look like anyone and if I try hard enough, sound like anyone. The fact that I could, under the right conditions, look and sound exactly like who I'm working with is off putting to some." Ichiko informs Mayleen. She changes back to her blond disguise and takes a relaxing breath.

Caterina Barr was walking home through the woods when she heard the conversation. That was strange enough- the path was usually deserted, and she very rarely ran into anybody. It was even more shocking that she could hear them talking about morphing, something that she knew only magical people could do. Walking carefully forward, she peered around a tree and watched in awe as one of the women changed right in front of her eyes.
"You know..." she said casually, straightening her skirts and walking out from behind the tree. "You really shouldn't talk about being a metamorphmagus where just anybody could hear you.'

Ichiko had her weapons in hand but paused a moment. This girl seemed to know something about magic, but they were after all spies in another country.
"we were under the impression that no one was here. After all it is quite late and most people are asleep. I hope we didn't disturb you. May I ask who you are?" Ichiko questions calmly, keeping her weapons well hidden.

"Rosemary Locklin. Being a metaphorphagus is not something most people know about. I'd say many of those who do not know magic would not know the meaning of the word. Might I ask how you are this evening?" Ichiko is wary of the girl, but knows she must be careful. After all they can't just go around killing people on a whim. She looks to her partner to see what she would like to do about the girl.

(Let's say this is the next morning) Phillip Glasco walks through the door of a local in to see if anyone had news of the Beckwins and to find a place to say. He walks up to the proprietor and asks "Have you heard about the fire at Beckwin manor?" Phillip had been there last night, but he did not see any survivors. He hopes that his future bride is alive. His parents went through a lot trouble to find someone suitable for him. Plus, he had heared she was quite pretty.
