((lol, okay, .Stay out of trouble))

Takahashi was in the chair with Chester in his lap. He had fallen asleep by the toasty fire, he still kept the film on that Mimi gave him, in fact he wasn't planning on taking it off unless absolutely necessary. Obviously Chester was enjoying the heat as well as the larger cat was sprawled across his laps, leaving Takahashi with a small but distinctly genuine smile upon his face. At night his tattoo grew making the air around him colder, but thanks to Mimi, he stayed warm during the night in the morning the tattoo shrunk to his original size. And the wake-up was one of the best he had ever had.

Mika woke earlier then she would have liked but she knew the sooner she got started the sooner she would be able to return. Leaving only a plate of food for Chester and a note explaining she would be gone till late, and apologized for the short notice.
When she arrived at the warehouse, the bustle and yelling stopped the moment she entered. Each face wearing a similar mask of sympathy and pity. The clan members flocked to her side offering their condolences. She placed a smile on her lips and nodded while on the inside wishing they would just leave her be. Fortunately Keith came and rescued her, taking her to the back. He informed her of all the new alliances, threats and goings on she had missed in her absents. She in turn informed him of her oath to taka. His reaction was just as she had imagined, incredulousness, followed by a lecture. “Keith, I owe him my life and much more.” she said simply. He shook his head but didn’t press the matter forward, except to agree that he would make the arrangements, if her debt was paid in full. In that case leadership of the clan would be handed to him. After her meeting with Keith, she attended two more about profit and loss of the last year, and other boring events she had no interest in, after that she was to meet with other clans offering condolences and congratulations, then she was to judge multiple cases of dispute between members of the clan.
When she finally did have time to herself it was only about an hour before her induction. She seeked out her auntie under the guise of having her help to remove her scar, though she had ulterior motives of her own. Jira didn’t offer condolences, nor did mika offer any to her, it was an unspoken agreement they both understood. Mika explained about taka’s seal and the image she had seen in it, while they were making the preparations. “It was demonic face with bright green eyes and horns. When he looked back it vanished.” Jira nodded as she listened. “The concept of sealing is not unknown to me but, I have never heard of marks shifting into imagery though.” She said. “That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist mind you. I shall poke about and see if anything comes up” She replied. Mika shook her head, “I’m not even sure of what I saw I wasn’t in my most normal state.” She received a sharp whack on the head. “The only thing you can trust are your own eyes and thoughts and don’t you forget it!” jira said narrowing her eyes at her, before moving on. “I would think you would be a bit more uplifted with the coming procedure, you can finally get rid of that mark.” She said a failing attempt at small talk for her. Mika didn’t answer for a moment; she ran her hand over the length of the blade till it shown the color of her flames, a light purple sheen. “I would prefer to keep the mark, as strange as it may seem. It’s that last moment I have of father.” She said keeping her eyes down cast at her task. “The day I received it was the day I earned his respect.” She said quietly. Jira’s face softened and she spoke quieter. “You do know that your father didn’t hate you, don’t you my child?” Mika nodded, “I’ve known for a while, I remind him of mother, he was afraid of getting close to me.” She said. Jira nodded, “He was also harsh on you for another reason. He knew the extent of your power at the age of three, but after you mother and that incident you pulled, it was clear to everyone you were the most endowed clan member we’ve had for some time.” She said with a wise smile. “But you were plagued as well. You’re only half demon, born out of wedlock, and female, you have quite a lot working against you. He was tough on you, so you had the clan’s sympathy and eventually their respect. He made you worthy in their eyes.” Mika looked up at her, “that isn’t entirely true aunty.” She replied. “Yes, I was forgetting the old goats. They were the ones who corrupeted him in the end though. I would like to see them all in hell” She said with a laughing bark. It was what she referred to the elders as. The elders did not approve of her, they enjoyed calling her the stray, she was sure it would intensify now. “I know what father did for me, and I am grateful.” She said adding in a whisper. “I did love father, regardless.” Jira didn’t respond except for to take the dagger and trace the length of the scar reversing and erasing as the glowing metal touched the scar tissue. Mika turned down the offered mirror; she knew what she looked like she didn’t need a mirror.

((sorry for the long reply time, I'm waiting for my mom to hang up the phone))

[mimisosa]

{{ no worries. sorry for the long post you don't really have to read it. I mainly did it as a filler tying up a few loose ends that were bothering me .}}

[Takahashi4321]

((what a long conversation that was, without further adieu))

Takahashi's eyes were bright with energy and life. Chester woke up as well and went over to the food bowl and began to devour the contents. On the other hand, Takahashi couldn't eat, something was taking his appeitite away from him and then he went over to the counter and read the letter. All it noted was that she was going to be late. So he merely made himself a black cup of coffee and sat back down in the chair, making another fire. It wasn't very often he felt warm, so he was going to make the best of it while he could. Then once the fire was roaring once again, he took his post as bartender, as he hadn't done in so long. Chester had leaped in his lap and in his usual selfish way, layed his head down beckoning Takahashi for attention. He smiled as he noticed his seal now was black no longer glowing green as it had yesterday. Takahashi shrugged and covered up the "tattoo". And unfurled his newspaper waiting for customers to come in.

[Takahashi4321]

((oh, no I read it, it was a pretty good post. The only posts that really bother me are one-liners, you can never complain about too much detail))

“Whom did you invite to the ceremony?” jira asked her lowering the mirror. “I didn’t invite anyone.” Jira gave her a stern look, “The goats won’t be pleased.” Mika replied, “The elders would only be pleased if someone manages to off me before it takes place.” She replied matter of factly. It was true, they hardly tolerated her, and as far as they were concerned she was still a traitor, but it didn’t bother her they were mainly figure heads, old and cranky. “Interesting, Samuel and I were sure you were going to bring that Tiki fellow along with you.” She said returning the knife to mika. “Taka.” She said quietly. “I didn’t invite anyone cause I plan to leave directly after the ceremony, I shall not be attending the afterward festivities.” If jira heard her she chose to ignore it. “Have you heard about sam?” She asked sitting in the chair next to her. “He shall be returning to reinshi, and to that fiancée, of his.” Jira was expecting some form of reaction from her, and waited with a smile to hear it. “That isn’t much news.” She said. “It was always expected that he would return, he can’t succeed without going through with the marriage.” Mika stood and returned the dagger to its sheath. Jira glowered slightly. “Just half a year ago that type of news would have been received with a fit of some sort.” Mika merely shrugged, “Things change aunty.” She said simply, walking towards the hall where the induction would soon begin. “So it would seem.” Jira replied following after mika.
The ceremony lasted two hours, the two longest of her life the first part was paying tribute to her father and nicki’s memory the gesture warmed her heart, thought looks she was constantly given, made it less enjoyable for her. The second half was her role, agreeing to the terms of leadership and proving her worth with challenging tasks. The last part each of the elders were supposed to bow and kiss her blade showing that they gave their full support, however that part didn’t happen. The closest thing that occurred was the elder Sirenia; spat at her there were a few growls at the action. She merely wiped it off with her sleeve, ignoring the gesture altogether. She walked down the middle of the clan them parting as she did, she continued walking until she was back out on the street. She took a deep breath enjoying the cool air, free of the tense, fake suffocating atmosphere.
She took her time walking back to the tavern, she wanted to compose herself and completely rid herself of the falseness she had been showing all day. She was looking forward to being home once again. She took the back alley way sitting a while outside the back door of the tavern. After a while she let herself in the back door

[Takahashi4321]

Takahashi had a meeting with a few of his managers and associates at the bar. They went through the relationship of neighboring clans and future prospects. The expected loss/gains this quarter of the subsidiaries of the Cromwell Families. Then the progress of the intelligence division on the Renault family. They were expected to file a full report and write-up in two days. The termination services, were in intense training. And the administration of the Cromwell family was in recess. Takahashi nodded, and finished the important notes on the issue on a small notebook in his jacket pocket. Then he put the notebook away, shook hands, and the men departed. He constantly reviewed material from the multiple branches of the Cromwell family, corrected, and when needed addressed it. It was the reason why his family had done so well the last year, simply because the flow of information continuously circulated and was immediately organized. Once organized, important information was immediately relayed to managers, then handled accordingly. The restructuring of his organization much led to Takahashi's success and thus he had trust and respect from every member of the Cromwell family and led to a now ever-growing private intelligence agency that rivaled the Crown, and other agencies abroad and ever implementing methods of faster information flow.

At the moment Takahashi was thinking about his own cat, of whom, who couldn't be found as his curious nature took him on weekly adventures. Chester had gone to sleep in his lap and Takahashi smiled, it was good to have slow days like this.

[mimisosa]

Mika slipped in quietly, the tavern was empty as usual, except for Taka behind the bar, as she walked closer she could see chester alseep in his lap, the sight presented the first true smile she had worn all day. Mika walked over taking the bar seat right infront of Taka. "I see you have become a mere cat pillow." she said with a slight grin.

[Takahashi4321]

Takahashi nodded and said, "Or maybe Chester, has become a blanket". He chuckled a bit, as Chester was quite warm, which was one of the reasons why Takahashi didn't wake him. But he gently, rubbed his head and then Chester quickly awakened, became alert and then hopped off. He stood up and asked in a pseudo-aristocratic tone, "Would you like something to drink, my dear?".

[mimisosa]

She smile at the blanket comment, if there was one thing chester was good at it was spreading warmth. "Yes please." she said looking up at him muffling her laughter at his tone, "Hot chocolate would be wonderful right now. Thank you." Really mika would have prefered something with a bit more of a kick to it, but now was not the time to be adding depressnts to her system, she wanted to remain happy while she was here. "Anything eventful occure here today?" she asked.

[Takahashi4321]

Takahashi shook his head washed his hands, started to heat some milk ,started to add sweetened chocolate to the milk, then he said, "I took some notes from some constituents today and oh-". Takahashi turned to Chester and said, "I had one of the best wake ups in the world today". Chester looked up at Takahashi half-curious, half confused which made Takahashi chuckle a bit. Then he started to add vanilla, cloves, topped it off with whipped cream and a cinnamon stick. He put a rather large mug in front of her and said, "Try this". He was generally happy with the uneventful day, it was rare and treasured.

[mimisosa]

Mika listend to taka laughed a little when he adressed chester causing the creature to look up at him in the feline inquizative way. She laided her head down on the counter watching as he prepared the beverage. She blinked and sat up taking the mug and sipping from it cautiously, The taste of chocolate mixed with vanilla and th hint of clove was quite delicious. "Thank you Taka, this is really...amazing." she said smiling down at the mug. At least the evening will be pleasent, she thought to herself.
