[b][u]The Beginning of Conflict[/u][/b]
[spoiler]The potential start of a mini-quest. So yeah...[/spoiler]
[b]Within the Dojo, sometime at night, an intense conflict began. The moonlight shined across the place of learning, but tonight...was not a very quiet night.
In the Dojo courtyard, some people were arguing intensely. Ornstein yelling at Smough, Anri speaking harshly to Yuria. Whatever it was about, the four all mentioned the same name...
[u]Iza.[/u][/b]
[b]Suddenly, Orn drew his spear, for some reason. Realizing what was about to happen, Smough raised his massive hammer.
Whatever is going on, or whatever is happening, it must stop. Before things escalate for the worst.[/b]

"Look, you may rely on this stuff now, but you can slowly take less and less until you don't even need it anymore..."
-
"I don't know...I don't know..." [i][u]"Calm down, Iza. It's alright.."[/u][/i]
-
"Iza, it'll be fine... I'm helping Anri with alcohol..."
-
[b]"Yeah, Iz. It'll be ok. We're here for you."[/b] "W...wait about Ornstein?" [i][u]"I... It's complicated, Iza. Very."[/u][/i]
-
"Yeah... He and Smough aren't getting along... I'll tell Orn that you will try to quit the drugs... That is, if you are going to try and quit them..."
-
"I'll...I'll try. Thanks, guys...for trying to help." [b]"We're here for you, Iz. We always will be."[/b]
-
"Okay... I'll tell Orn the plan."
-
"Yeah, ok. Thanks again."
-
"You're welcome... Now I'm going to go try to find Orn..."
-
[b]Iza smiles, wanting Anri and Yuria to come inside. They do. Ornstein is probably not in his room, though.[/b]
-
*Sketch starts walking around the Dojo, looking for Orn.*
-
[b]There's no sign of him. Anywhere. None of the cameras have picked up on him either.[/b]
-
*He starts looking around outside the Dojo.*
-
[b]Nothing still. It's like Ornstein has vanished.[/b]
-
"Weird..."
-
[b]Suddenly, a storm pops up. Best to head inside.[/b]
-
"Hm... I guess I should head inside..."
-
[b]Already, rain is pounding down upon Sketch. From Iza's room, the lights are on, and Sketch can hear the conversation.[/b]
-
*Sketch listens to what's being said.*
-
[b]"...isn't usually like that..."[/b] "So what do I do? I'm not even sure if getting rid of my addiction will help..." [u][i]"We're here, Iza. Smough, Anri, and I."[/i][/u]
-
*He keeps listening.*
-
[u]"...And maybe Sketch."[/u] "Please...I know he doesn't like me. He probably hates me..." [b]"Don't say that..."[/b] "Why not? His sister kept me out in the first place. Tonight was the only time he even bothered to talk to me. He's avoided me completely."
-
*He just continues listening.* *Thinking "She's my cousin, not my sister... And I haven't specifically been avoiding her, I just haven't seen her..."
-
[b]"She's not his sister."[/b] "Bull." [u][i]"She's right, Y'know."[/i][/u] "Well...they don't like me. I'm sure they don't, anyway."
-
*He walks back into the building, heading for the apartment and still listening.*
