When they reach the inn, Chii notices the harpy eating on a couch. Since the notion of any kind of subterfuge did not occur to Chii, she walked up to her and asked "Excuse me, we are looking for a Yumi Tarasu?"

The harpy leaps to her feet, dropping a piece of steak as she does so, and stands up on the couch, posing with her good arm. "YUMI TARASU IS I! At your service! Future doctor by day, expert cat burgler by knight! Stealing from the rich, and giving to the poor, that is I! Yumi is the name given to me by birth, but my true name is...AAAGH!"
Couches were not mean to be stood upon like that, as she learns when she falls. Her quiet voice emits from the floor. "Ow..."
A dwarf over at the bar laughs. "And...there she goes again."

"I don't think it is that advisable to announce illegal activities... unless of course, you'd like to turn yourself in, but I don't think it's gonna work without any law employees around." Glenn comments, fairly surprised by the harpy's... lively attitutde.

"Aha! Villian!" Celia shouted, proving Chii correct rather quickly.
Celia struck a pose, before shouting in her high pitched voice "Under normal circumstances, your revelation of evil would have been been your undoing! Alas though, today, we have an even GREATER evil to confront: a dark cult... OF DARKNESS! So, you may be spared for an epic battle another day, if you reveal to us all you know about the dastardly group we seek to bring to JUSTICE!"

Chii facepalms from Celia's....enthusiastic...denunciation of Yumi Tarasu and her....ways. Robbing the rich and giving to the poor strikes her as a rather more efficient process than most governments would tolerate, but she isn't quite sure how that relates to stealing cats.
She instead looks over Yumi to make sure she wasn't hurt from the fall, then introduces herself. "Uh...hello. I am Chiyembekezo, or Chii for short; I too am studying medicine. I think the others can introduce themselves, no?" Especially given how excitable Celia is. "We are - as you may guess - investigating reports of a cult which may be abusing Black Magic. If you know anything about them, and if they are truly dangerous, that would be good to know, no?"

Yumi...isn't badly hurt, and makes her way to her feet, using Chii for support. Once she's to her feet, she smirks. "Oh, that tiny one is AWESOME. Is she a pixie? Because, a badass pixie is, like, three times as badass as a normal person. And, yeah. I heard about the cult. Dont' know much about them, but I tracked them, because anyone who buys an entire shopping cart of colored chalk has GOT to be up to something. It wasn't even water soluble!"

"Thanks, I-" Celia paused.
She actively looked contemplative. She lowered her volume a bit, before looking at Chii "Pst. Team leader girl. The supervillain just complimented me. If I'm not going for morally grey edgelord anti-heroine, is that a good thing or a bad thing?"

Yumi nods. "Of course. I'm the whole 'morally ambiguous Robin Hood style Anti-Villain', myself. You know, the kind who works with the hero in the crisis crossover, then is the antagonist in the next issue. You know, the whole "Maybe next time, Batman" vibe? Like Catwoman, unless she's written by Frank Miller."
Yumi wraps her wings around herself. "Bad Frank. Bad. No whores."

Chii looks between Celia and Yumi and looks a bit exasperated. Clearly, either they have read too many comic books or she has not read enough. "Celia, you might want to consider just taking it as it was given and not overthinking things, no? And perhaps you two can start a club for comic book fans who are trying to reenact their dreams?" Chii's own particular interest in helping the world doesn't really include wearing a costume beyond medical scrubs.
Turning to Yumi, she asks "Do you know anything other than the cult are a group of individuals with an interest in colored chalk? Things like wearing robes, ominous chants, attempting to acquire live chickens, or other signs that they are a dark cult and not simply a group of eccentric professors or chalk fetishists?"

Okay, so she was dealing with the Catwoman type, cool. Those in between types always made the hero business more fun... right? I mean, she always thought it might be interesting to be able to eat lunch one day, and stop them the next "Hey, if you ever get away from me, or I foil you and you escape anyways, maybe we could go grab something for lunch the next day. That's like basically the definitive hero-antivillian thing to do, right?"
Completely and utterly derailed at this point, she looked towards Chii, and asks "Hey Chii, what's your power?" with a smirk on her face that plain as day suggested that she was going to use that information in such a way to completely derail the conversation.

Yomi points to Glenn, also going with the derailing. "And what's YOUR superpower...who...ever you are!"
And then smiles to Chii. "Well, they got all of the above. Including the live chickens. No, seriously. It wouldn't shut up."

Chii stares at Yomi for a second. "...that sounds like someone was trying to form an evil cult in the most stereotypical way possible, no?" She wonders if these are really evil cultists or just a bunch of idiots playing at being evil cultists.
Turning to Celia, she shrugs. "My Realm is Healing. And while I cannot testify for the others here," she says, pointing to Glenn and Haunted, "but in my case, I use it without wearing an elaborate costume or calling attacks." Nor, she thought, did she get her powers from a radioactive bandage or anything as contrived as that.

Yomi probably feels quite chilled all of a sudden as Haunted suddenly floats out of where she's standing. Haunted starts her usual circles around the group, looking mildly curious and watching them. That or staring at that spot on the floor. Close enough! "Is this...where the...people are...?"

Glenn points to hirself, a bit of a surprised look on her face. She was settling to making sure everything was fine and dandy... and fixing the situation if it was not "Superpower..." Shi ponders on it for a few seconds, before shi offers a grin and does a nice bow, one hand on hir chest while the other moves out to the side "I am training to be super reliable of course" Shi responds with a soft, calm tone.

Yomi's eyes widen at haunted, and she looks over the group, barely concealing her shock. "...You are TOTALLY a party of adventurers. I mean, seriously, you have a ghost, and a Demon...I mean, there are "Walk into a tavern" jokes about this! Can I hang out with you guys later?"
