[ "Felix are you in there, it's me KJ." ] [ "Oh, KJ. What's up?" ] Felix dressed in what others would consider a normal clothing could be seen eating ramen in some ramen store, the hotness of the noodles not mattering to him as he sips and eat from it, the voice which is not coming from his head — a rare case truly, but is instead from the Control Room, which has both Killjoy on the other end as his dispatcher and eyes in the sky in this case.

[ "Sorry I got a little bit sidetracked, I got... Hungry." ] Felix tried to discreetly talk to KJ using the device that is connected to the inside of his stylish jacket that KJ got for him, he doesn't know how to dress up, so he needs others for help — but for this case he is definitely thankful in asking for that help. His stomach could be heard growling which was soon followed up by him emptying the ramen in his bowl in one gulp — throwing the bowl of noodles to the side amongst the others, amongst the stack of empty bowls.

[ "Can't believe I'm still... Hungry... No, wait, shi* I really got distracted, KJ don't tell this to Brimstone he'll kill me... Or worse." ] ( "Never again send me on a mission." ) [ "Distracted? What are yo- doesn't matter, you're in the right spot anyways." ] [ "Right spot?" ] Felix looks to the side warily, thankfully the locals inside the ramen shop only thinks his crazy and isn't an Agent, or a Wizard, or worse an Radiant which is all bad news in the eyes of the common everyday people — the weird out of place clothing didn't help in that matter.

[ "Jah! Actually you are in the middle of where you're supposed to be, you're actually near the target." ] [ "With the who? We are killing someone?!" ] [ "Shhh, this is recruitment — and the target is a Radiant, like you." ] ( "Sounds nice." ) [ "I'm sending the details to your phone, don't mess this up Felix, keep safe." ] [ "Thanks KJ." ] [ ... ] Felix could hear a momentary pause in the air before it was abruptly cut.

( "That's... definitely not weird." ) Felix didn't linger on that thought as he receives a notification on his phone, a buzzing on his pocket — he pulled it out and immediately noticed the notification KJ sent a clear detailed history of the target with an image containing a picture of the supposed recruit. White haired, pony tail, chef outfit holding a knife, beautiful extremely, but the layout of how it was presented is kinda... Is KJ sure this isn't an assassination mission or something, because it does look like one.

[ NAME: Han Sunwoo ]

[ PRONOUNS: She/Her ]

[ ORIGIN: Seoul, South Korea ]

[ RACE: Radiant ]

Felix stood up, his table being the farthest from all he pulled out a few hundreds of Kingdom Credits — the universal money in this Earth of theirs, he placed it and used an empty bowl as paperweight while subtly using magic to clean the mess that have stuck on his clothes, the grease, the meat, the noodles and such. Magic truly makes life easier as he made his way out of this heavily decorated ramen shop that he became a fan of by being there for just a short time. ( "Thanks G for the magic." )

He passes by the dozing off figure of the cashier which he didn't care enough to pay any more attention to as Felix kept hearing the lively atmosphere outside the shop he is in. The sound of the crowd talking, voices which isn't particularly understandable to him, he does not speak Korean though, but the voice of laughing children and the smiling faces of the people is enough for him to understand that this is at the very least something worth exploring. So he didn't rush himself, preferring to very much enjoy the culture around him than the mission — which Brimstone wouldn't like, but Felix doesn't care. ( "What could go wrong?" )

( "Damn it! Alarm didn't work. Stupid thing." ) Han Sunwoo also known by her street name Jett sneakily uses her secret Radiant powers as she runs from one street to another. Her white-pale hair which is tied into a ponytail could be seen fluttering about in the air as she hastily eats the reserved sandwich that was stocked on their fridge — sorry auntie, stole your lunch, she silently mocked prayed inside her head as she thinks of her auntie being mad and yelling out her name, JETT! But that doesn't matter, she hates her auntie like how her auntie hates her — it's mutual, no hard feelings, really.

The streets being so crowded and dark made it easier for Jett to pass by, her arms thankfully hidden as people would have seen it glow-white showing them that yes, this delicate, beautiful, hardworking, charismatic 5 star chef of Seoul is a Radiant, and that'll be bad — yes, Jett is a Radiant, but none knows that other than her, and her parents which had... That doesn't matter. Jett abuses the insider knowledge she has with this city as she finds short cuts that make it easier to get from point a (her house) to point b (her workplace), "Woah." Jett noticed children passing by playing ball, laughing in such so as she pauses for a moment letting them past not quickening but impatiently-patiently waiting as she looks at the surroundings trying to find a pathway, ( "Left, left, left Jett go go go!" ) dashing as he does so.

Jett did so and moved to the left dashing careful as to not hit any of the decorations, lanterns, or antique nearby and destroying them — thankfully not being able to do so as she turns from the street and finally in front of her workplace — Jitsoo's Ramen Shop, a small humble place that doesn't have anything special, but for her it's special, she does work here afterall. The smile on her face could be seen as she didn't even pay attention to the sweat dripping off of her forehead, not noticing the wandering figure of some violet-eyed man looking dumly amazed at his surroundings at the side, as Jett made her way inside the shop.

Jett in seeing her boss, Jitsoo that grumpy old father-figure of her's, used this into her advantage as she sneaks back into the kitchen — using her stealth ninja-like skills, one which failed before she could even enter the messy kitchen. "Jett, you're late." ( "젠장." ) "O-oh, boss! Yah, what's up." "Don't oh what's up what's up me Jett, clean the place — start with that." Jett noticed her drowsy boss pointing at the table to the side, one which is filled with empty bowls and cups of iced tea, "Alright then, cheer-up by the way you look ugly with that frown." "That's my default face Jett..." "..." "..." "Just smile you damn uff." Jett smiles to herself, cleaning the tables using the towels she got nearby right behind the counter, wetting it and cleaning the said messy table that is so out of place to the other table which are clean. She hates mess especially when she's working so she, Jett, immediately cleaned in a jet-lag speed — balancing the bowls and halfly emptied iced tea.

While doing so she humss a tone to herself, something random that even she doesn't know but just do — she was about to go into the kitchen having successfully balanced all of this in one-go, but something stopped her — or, well some money, a handful of Kingdom Credits, hundreds which was placed just below one of the bowls. Jett in seeing this was confused, ( "???" ) she looks at her boss, at the cashier and noticed him taking an order of someone else, then back at the money, ( "What the? Did someone dropped this? This is way too much." ) Jett's freehand subconsciously went and tried to grab it, about to pocket it but feeling guilty as she insteads of pocketing it gave it to her boss, at Jitsoo which became confused more than her.

"What's this?" "I don't know, it was left on the table over there." She points at the now cleaned table, shining bright, "This is..." Jitsoo remembers the once criminal life of Jett and became concerned, "You didn't do what I think you did... Jett?" "Nope, not this time, it was really there. No pickpocketing, this time at least..." "Huh..." Jitsoo looks at the bright shining reflection that came from the paper and contemplates, before ultimately deciding, "Here." "Huh what's... No, no wait I'm good." "No, take it, I INSIST."

Jett sees Jitsoo handing her money, practically shoving her the 700 Kingdom Credits, while only taking 100. She wanted to deny, she did, but this grumpy old man is persistent, and is old, so, she lost. ( "What the fuck am I gonna do with this?!" ) Jett remembers that she doesn't care about money that much, no, she's more worried about Jitsoo's shop which is low in sales but sells high quality stuff — and she feels sad in remembering that, so ultimately calculates a plan inside her head where she'll use the money to at the very least get that debt off his father's shoulder's. ( "Alright Han, that's the game plan. Keep up!" )

Apparently she did wish to die, she got herself killed, the Orochi said it himself he is weaker than Apollyon, but he was able to defeat her. And besides it should be the Warden who shoulda have defeated her, or fought her, other than that the game is good. Too damn good actually, it's criminal how there aren't more." ]
