[His Royal Dudeness Dude]

Leonardo S. Tensatsu

Red chuckled at the mention of a wasteland, "And here I was thinking we would have the party right here." He spoke lightheartedly, not letting his own edginess seep through his mask. In truth he already knew where he would take them.

Ironic isn't it Hue? The place where you first thought you'd killed me. He had to resist laughing now, remembering his younger brother from ages past. Back when he had been human and had a real name. Before he had been reborn as Red. He wondered for a moment where the space cadet had wandered off to since then. Far, far away he could only imagine. Returning his thoughts to the matter at hand, he collected himself.

The idea of pulling part of his madness out was daunting to him, "I've only ever released one or two folks from myself... and that was painful enough as it was." He began to let his mind wander part excitedly at the pain to come. "Once it starts I will most likely need to be bound, otherwise things will be... Messy..." He grinned a bit at the prospect. "But I have a place in mind we can relocate to. Will it be just the two of us, or will we be eliciting help from anyone else?" He spoke candidly as if they were talking about a nice outing to the beach. Not a potentially horrific slaughtering of souls on a particularly prodigious level.

Finally, Red let Leo's last words sink in and he allowed his smile to fall from the mask, "I imagine if I lose myself past that point it won't really matter. Feel free to end me Leo." He said with complete seriousness. Red locked eyes with Leo, monster to monster, gold to red oculars staring into one another, before finally he allowed his own sly grin to wickedly return. "Well since that's settled I suppose I need to find a way of keeping myself sane for a few days." His cheshire smile almost almost cracked from the strain, this would be quite against his nature. "I notice you have a few folks running about the place on business Leo. You have any jobs a monster like me would be good at to pass the time?" He raised a quizzical eyebrow, "Pay you back for the favor and what not." He mused slowly, the idea of reciprocation was rather removed from Red's nature, but there was a time for everything.

The chilled air just outside of the building's entrance ruptured, splitting in fiery chaos as a black vortex sputtered to life. It would waver a little, like the high flame on a candle playing against a draft, before stabilizing. Out came a group of people, three to be exact. Two elves, one human. Cats aren't people, though there was a tiny calico on the human's shoulder. That cat, actually, was whom this Writer mainly focused on, having no copyright over the other three whatsoever. And thus, the rest were free to react to their new surroundings as they would normally now. This Writer just supplied the taxi, and all the fun this taxi had.

The feline was purring loudly, butting her head against his neck and jaw in a cute little nuzzle as the vortex closed behind the male elf closing the rear. Then she opened her icy eyes and found she was on the wrong person's shoulder. Looking back at the blue-haired elvish woman, she mewed to her and reached a pleading paw out to her.

Halp!

[String x Theory]

Black flames licked the form of another being emerging out of the portal. The silhouette of a woman was formed as she stepped forward, clearing the portal for the next of her entourage to pass through. Orange eyes darted about the scene from underneath a tattered hood that covered the top half of her face. Long strands of blue hair fell about the woman's shoulders, down to mid-back, where the strands curled lightly at the ends. The cloak's front remained open, allowing for rapid movement if necessary. Through the opening in the cloak the woman's attire was evident; a black sports-bra type shirt, exposed belly, white shorts adorned with belts and two fairly large daggers. She had on a pair of brown boots which were adorned with white bandages to make them more secure. Although her arms were covered with the sleeves of the cloak, she was wearing black gloves that reached up to the bend in her elbow. Her clothes were fairly tattered and faded, it was obvious that this outfit had seen many battles.

Looking around, Saria remained silent as she took in the front of Malevolence of Innocence. So this is the place that seeks an alliance with the Heartless. Her pointed ears twitched as she heard interesting sounds coming from about the establishment; things that, at this point in time, were not her concern. Moving with authority and grace, the she-elf looked back at the group of people who had accompanied her to MoI.

"Let's see what we can find inside." She said, her voice cool and collected. She knew that she was out of her comfort zone, being a sort of foreign diplomat in continuing negotiations with a neighboring country. She knew that this could go extremely well, but it could also take a dire turn for the worst. She had learned that this Leo fellow was quite the powerful being, and she was quite interested in meeting with him should the situation allow.

It was then that Saria noticed a small cat perched on Styke's shoulder. Where did that come from? And furthermore, what happened to Yuni? Seeing the cat paw out to Saria, she frowned momentarily before what happened clicked inside her brain. The cat was Yuni. She smiled and picked up the kitten, holding it in her arms. "What have you done to yourself, Yuni?" she asked the kitten as she scanned the rest of her company, making sure everyone else was accounted for. Seeing that they were, Saria took the lead in approaching the front door of MoI, pulling open the door and stepping inside.

Jorildyn Krystal

Prince of the Krystal kingom

Travel through the portal seemed to move quickly as he didn't have time to fear anything. He had made the assessment that while the portal appeared quickly to the two elves, and the human, it appeared to move much slower to Yuni. That was his best guest and he would leave it at that for the moment, taking time to scan their surroundings with much caution. Jorildyn kept his hands at his sides as not to appear threatening, though he would quickly become a threat to anyone who would harm the people who stood in front of him. Shrugging that thought into the back of his brain with the other hundreds that swirled about, he stepped forward to stand on the side of the group, waiting for Yuni to take lead. The white elf was not in Rhy'Din anymore, and had traveled to a place that he had no knowledge of whatsoever. He figured it would be best for him to keep his mouth closed, and his pointed ears wide open. "Tlu s'gos Jorildyn." The white elf thought as he closed in behind Saria, stepping inside quickly, hoping Stykes would get the door behind him. Once inside, he wouldn't move unless Saria did, not knowing the place or the people. He didn't want to overstep his bounds by the slightest bit. The white elf simply wanted the alliance between the two businesses, and to go back to the manor.

Stykes found himself in an unfamiliar space, voices surrounding him that he didn't recognize, but then again he might have. He did his best to hold onto the thought his companion Yuni had informed him to as best he could as black flames licked at his body. Despite them having no temperature mentally he still reacted as though they were going to burn him. It took him a while to get used to the sensation, well what felt like a while in reality it only took seconds, but once he accepted it the ride became much more forgiving. He felt as though he had lost track of Yuni, but was still being led about the flaming mess. He hoped within that he hadn't lost his way somewhere and was pursuing a quick death in what was supposed to be an easier form of travel. After what felt like an hour he found himself being almost pulled from the flaming mess that Yuni called travel. He emerged from the portal almost shuddering as though he was freezing, but still able to stand. As his surroundings started to become clear. A light snowfall caused flakes to stick to his brown coat, which hugged his chest and shoulders tightly extenuating his features. The coat loosened around his wrists to allow easier hand movement, and stretched down past his waist, wrapping around his front as well. It held one small split in the fabric along the front of his figure allowing his legs to be seen clearly, which were covered with a slightly different hue of brown pants. The pants were stained with dust and grime and hugged his legs, tucking into boots that ended at his knees held in place with metal straps. His hair was a light purple shade, almost white but was clearly offset compared to the snow in the air. His skin was olive and would have been perfect had they been in a more arid climate. He blinked once, jade eyes scanning over their surroundings. At about this point he realized something was vibrating on his shoulder, this prospect frightened him for a quick moment, was it something from Yuni's portal? Quickly he glanced over as the furry object butted against his head. Oddly enough it was a cat, and a cat that had Yuni's eyes oddly enough. Before Stykes had the chance to piece it together on his own Saria, who had handled the transition quite a bit better than he had, had already made her way over to collect the kitten from his shoulder asking Yuni what she had done to herself in the process. 'I hope this is normal Yuni' he thought to himself. He looked around and counted quickly, Jorildyn, Saria, Himself, and Yuni, despite being a full fledged cat now, had all managed to make their way there. He shuddered at the thought of returning to the manor using that method. Sure it was fast, but it definitely gave him the creeps. He watched as everyone made their way inside, taking his que he followed up last, making his way inside after Jorildyn and closing the door. The others might have had a different perception of their chosen form of travel than he had, but the distorted time felt like it had taken hours to him. Once inside he rolled his eyes at Saria and almost whined.
"Why is Yuni a cat?!"
He realized the irony of his words after he spoke

[_xX Faceless Enemy Xx_]

Y U N I Q U E

A squeaky mew sounded out as the calico was picked up and held, her motorboat purring commencing as she wiggled about till she was comfy. She always liked shoulders to perch on, but Saria was wearing a low hood and her hair spilled out from it. Ooooo.... hair.... From her spot in the crook of the woman's elbow, the feline Yuni would squeaker and paw at stray strands that got too close to her wee paws.

The question earned a little narrowing of bright eyes. If cats could pout... It was almost the expression of 'don't blow my cover', but it didn't really matter. She could explain it all back at the manor if she liked, but all that mattered now was that they were all here. Yuni was a cat, being held, and was very comfy.

Just throw in some catnip, a little tuna and warm milk, and Yuni would be the happiest little kitty cat the world has ever seen.

After Saria stepped inside the building, the feline's ears would swivel about attentively and curiously to start her recon. New places meant new things to find and new people to meet. Stykes, however, had to ask why she was a cat. Looking around Saria's arm to blink at him owlishly, she would mew. Then wink.

Belly rubs. That is all.

Rini, Hostess, Adopted Daughter of Leo

"Treat her like a Queen, She will treat you like a King"

With a yawn and a sigh, the woman awoke, she did not recall when she had arrived home. How long had passed? It had to be near eve time. Today she would be brave, provided a few people showed their faces. Then again, As a hostess, and then some, was it not her job to amuse? Walking to her bathroom and showering in her apple blossom wash. Stepping out the woman walked to her closet.

First came was a black case, one for some sort of instrument. It was the girls violin, the one she was too shy to play among many people. Next out was her bag, sheet music, her notebook, and a planner. There were still places she needed to go, but tonight she was home. Dressing in her two tone pant, a corset, heels, and a jacket. She steps from her room, walking through the kitchen, and into the bar area. Placing her bag and case down beside the bar, so she could work.

There were still guests there from earlier, but now new faces had joined the crowd, she walks towards the entry. To the Guests, it had seemed those from Heartless had come by for their visit.Though not all of them, she remembered. A big smile of her face, she approaches with arms wide.

"Welcome most honored guests, to Malevolence of Innocence, please find yourselves some seating, and relax"

Chipper and cheerful, she would greet, awaiting any requests.

"Treat her like a game, And she will show you How its Played"

Wearing: Stunning

[NDGHeartbreak]

The woman tilted her head down a bit since more people were appearing in the place she had entered, Her eye's covered by the hood of her cloak and a shadow cast upon her face. She shifted slightly in her seat and gazed upon the other's still waiting to be serviced, The woman continued to wait patiently but one could tell her patience was running thin.

[Lithia Kane]

OOC: Akako is moving to a new apartment and will not be on until tomorrow night, She sends her regards. Leo is currently at work, We thank you for your patience.

Jorildyn Krystal

Prince of the Krystal kingom

Jorildyn gave a light bow as the beautiful woman entered the room, offering them a seat so that they would be comfortable. Of course, the prince would wait until the other's had been seated before he would seat himself. So far things had been going quite well, which was what he had hoped for. Although, the owner of the establishment had not been met yet, and he would wait most impatiently for the man named Leo to arrive. The prince would not allow anyone to know of his impatience, simply keeping the calm appearance on his face which he usually kept. like the outside of the place, he scanned the inside as well, noticing the group and hostess were not alone. He didn't keep his eyes on the other patron but for a second, turning his attention to the owner of the manor, Saria.

Followed? Oh this was getting better and better, Rakshasa grinned in response as she made her way upon her feet. Garnet eyes flashed maliciously as Leon reached for his guitar, her jaws slack as she felt another purr rumble in the back of her throat. Insanity? Probably. Bloodlust? Definitely. Of course this interruption had ruined her game, but it had also opened up a new one and she was ready to begin to play.

A crack of her neck from left to right as Leon jumped into the fray as it came, Rakshasa's own tall and lithe frame merely swaying left and right as though she were constantly shifting her weight between her right and left foot. Her piercing gaze was upon the pawns that Leon was in the process of hacking, smashing, and punishing to bits and pieces but she couldn't be bothered. Oh no, she was waiting for the king to arrive. Or at least the queen.

And so he did.

The tentacle about Leon's throat before he met the tree, did look interesting to Rakshasa. She wondered what kind of flavor such flesh would offer. Would it be unique, or the overly cliche form of seafood. No matter, the king had made his move and now it was time to make her own.

>"Gotcha..."<

Why the king thought she'd continue to allow him to brag was beyond her, she'd rather just stomp on his face and watch him drown in his own filth. Stupid ********. The word would be halfway from the guy's lips and she was already in play. Rakshasa was playing dirty, not just dirty, she was playing for keeps. Tapping into her speed, she simply reappeared in front of the male with her right fist already pulled back. Even before his attention would be able to focus upon her appearance, her fist would shoot forward like a piston to catch him right in the throat. She figured he was an alien like Leon so his skeletal system would be a lot tougher to break but damaging the soft tissue of the trachea and esophagus...should be relatively simple. No need to hold back. No need to play nice.

Rysen Ferinus

"Dear me have I interrupted som-"

He had interrupted at such a bad time, Rakshasa's fist would of already clocked the obnoxious ******** (not the new male) right in the throat and now she was being interrupted again? Smoldering garnet eyes flicked to the second male as she swayed in the direction of Leon and reached out to seize him by the scruff of his coat so she could pull him up upon his feet, her words though were directed at the newest of arrivals, "You are."

[String x Theory]

((Don't worry. We are prepared to adjust to the pace of MoI. We recognize the fact that the more complex plots take longer than our thread. Take your time.))


Seeing a familiar figure, Saria removed her hood, showing her full face, allowing her blue hair to drape about her shoulders, not minding the small kitten in her hands that pawed at the occasional strand. Her pointed ears were more pronounced now without the hood covering her head, and it would be obvious to anyone looking at her that she was indeed an elf. Accompanying her pointed ears was a fair complexion with a beautifully sculpted face, all tell-tale traits of her kind.

She glanced down at the kitten in her arms and winked. Call it an odd coincidence, but she had a dear friend of hers that often shifted into the form of a cat when he wanted to keep his identity a secret, so Saria was no stranger to this act. Turning to Stykes as he questioned about where their companion Yuni had gone off to, she simply responded, "I don't know where Yuni went." Even though this response did not make much sense to his original question of 'why is Yuni a cat?'

She returned her attention to Rini, the familiar figure from the night before. She smiled at the sincere welcome that she and her entourage were greeted with. "Hello Rini," Saria said, her words like velvet. "Thank you for welcoming us into your home. My companions just traveled here through a less-than-ideal manner, would you be so kind as to grab us a few glasses of water? It may take a few moments for us to adjust."

Her orange orbs scanned the room again, making note of the different people fixed around the bar. She noticed two women, one in particular caught her attention with her red cloak and crosses. She smiled at the woman. This one reminded her a lot of herself from her hunting days.

"I like your crosses." She said to the woman in red. She looked around again before finding a table that she and her companions could sit at, and silently motioned for Stykes and Jorildyn to get comfortable.

[Lithia Kane]

Rini, Hostess, Adopted Daughter of Leo

"Treat her like a Queen, She will treat you like a King"

She looked at the polite male that had arrived with Saria and company. There was a request for water, she glanced at the kitten.

"Some glasses of water and a bowl for the kit, I will be right back"

Once more she would offer a smile, as her heels began to click as she left them to fill the request. As she filled the glasses and bowl, she drops in a few ice cubes. They were placed upon a tray. She tipped back towards the honored company. She sets the tray down before them, so they could grab as they please.

"Here is your water my dears, When you are ready for something else, let me know alright?"

NDGHeartbreak

A male bartender would look to the woman. He smiled at her, "Were you waiting for a drink Miss, Tell me what and I shall get it for you"

"Treat her like a game, And she will show you How its Played"
