It's been a few weeks. Alfred has been in a coma since the incident, Unable to answer any questions that anyone might have as he lays in the Hospital bed nearby Beacon. Eventually Ozpin went to check to see if he was up. Only to find him missing with a Nurse making the bed.
"Excuse me Miss. May I ask where this patient is?" Ozpin asked. Slightly starteling the nurse as she didn't see him enter the room.
"Oh, I don't know. I guess he left earlier in the morning. Didn't even grab his clothes. When everyone arrived for work, We found a broken door and a note." The nurse answered.
"I see, What did the note say?" Ozpin asked. Having an idea.
"It says 'I quit' " She answered as she went back too making the bed.
Months has passed by since then. No one seeing him Not even Junior as he was somewhat a frequent face before the incident. He simply, Vanished, No trace what so ever. Gone... Or so it seemed.
Tukson's Book Trade, Supposedly sells books of all trade. He was taking stock as he heard the bell ring. The person who entered was 6'8, wearing Black pants, a Black Sleeveless hoodie, a large leather jacket over it, and black Shoes. The hood was up so his face was mostly covered. All that could be seen was a thick beard. Tukson was anxiously waiting for him to say something.
"Have any books about painting?" He asked. Accent thick and Unknown.
"Far left aisle." Tukson answered. Watching as the man went to the left of the store to pick out a book. one about old paintings specifically before he sat down at a table nearby.
"You gonna buy that book sir?" Tukson asked.
"No. I just need it for something, I'll put it back when I'm done." He said. as he pulled out what looked to be art materials and a small Pendant. He started flipping through the book. Looking for something in particular. When he found it, he ust started painting. Tukson figured out he isn't gonna leave anytime soon and it just looks like he's working on something in particular.
"If you're worried I'm gonna steal something. Don't, I'm just gonna work on something then leave." He said. Not even looking away from what he was working on. Which he seemed to be extremely focused on. Ignoring his surroundings as he was mimicking the style that he found in the book.
The bell on the door rang again. This time is was two teenagers. They didn't even notice the Stranger as their sights were set on the owner. The girl had mocha colored skin, Mint colored hair, red eyes, Around 5'6, wearing a tube top that was slightly cut to show a bit of cleavage, with a small jacket that wenjt over it, White pants that had a brown leggings over it. with high heels to top it all.
The other one was a guy who had silver hair, stood about 6'0, wore a silver jacket with black pants, black fingerless gloves, with a silver gauntlet that went over them He wore black pants and black boots with them. There names were Emerald Sustrai and Mercury Black and they were their for one reason. To kill Tukson, He was going to skip town so to speak and they couldn't have that. Specifically their boss couldn't allow it. So they took it in their own hands to kill him. Not exactly noticing The stranger still as they approached the counter and set the sign on the door open to closed.
The stranger could sense their intentions, To kill him. But he couldn't care less, He just wanted to finish what he was doing so he could leave. Getting involved with stuff like this caused the incident to release the beast in this world. Knowing if he got involved, The beast could come back out. Even if Tukson was subtly pleading to him for help.
Tensions were rising quickly as Emerald and Mercury kept intimidating Tukson. Eventually, Realizing that the stranger isn't gonna help. He had to take action. He went for an attack on Emerald, Missed her and straight towards Mercury. Leading to his own demise. The job was done. The former runaway was now dead and now all loose ends have been tied up. Or so it seemed. It wasn't until they were leaving to which they finally noticed the Stranger, Working on whatever it was he was working on. Emerald seemed a bit disturbed by this. They just murdered someone, and this stranger didn't even care. Just working on whatever he was working on. Mercury didn't think the same way however, He walked up to the table the stranger was at, and simply trashed whatever he was working on. Mercury was about to walk away when the stranger stood up. Clearly pissed off, Emerald noticed this before Mercury did. Mercury wasn't going to have a good time as the Stranger grabbed mercury by the head.
"Listen here. I don't give a shit what you were doing here. What I do care about. Is replacing something I lost, Without interruption. If you don't want to end up like Bookworm. I suggest you fuck off now. Or better yet. Get me new materials to work with." He growled. Mercury, Now a little intimidated but still tried to act cocky. He would regret that decision as the Stranger Slammed His head into a wall. Almost breaking it and his Skull.
"I don't have time for Bullshit. I never do. GOT THAT!" The stranger said. Clearly annoyed at Mercury's antics.
Mercury now scared for his life. Promised him to buy new materials or what he was working on. KNowing now that the Stranger is not gonna put up with his Antics.
The stranger let him go. and simply walked away. Leaving everything behind. Not wanting to be seen at the Crime scene. It seemed Clear that this man might get the interest of their boss. That's what Emerald thinks at least...
