Welcome to Gaia! ::

((good job guys ^^ I look forward to reading all the role plays when I get back! <3 Love you all!))

Banshi walked with Mercy into the Knot. Seeing Michael, she walked up to the bar and sat down beside him. Cheerfully, she said, "Mercy, this is Michael. Michael, Mercy." Banshi gave him a quick look with her head turned against Mercy, and tapped the table. They had known each other so long, she knew he would understand she needed to talk to him later. Turning around, Banshi flagged down the bartender. Handing Michael a rolled up amount of money, she said, "You guys order what you want, I might just go over there in the non-smoking section real quick to clear my mind and order a snakebite." Standing up, Banshi gave Mercy and Michael a quick hug, then disappeared among the partying masses into a hidden corner in The Knot.

Banshi sat down in a small empty booth, eyeing a figure across the floor. The figure, wearing a black and neon PVC hoodie, with a gas mask and matching skirt and platform shoes, walked towards Banshi. The figure, a girl named Zai Hana, silently took a seat and slipped Banshi a blank black envalope, as Banshi handed her one in return. They didnt say a word, but instead, Zai got up and walked out the door, and Banshi sat with the already opened envalope in her lap, sipping on snakebite. Thumbing through the several papers, Banshi put them back in the black paper package, and taking out her notebook, began to write down all the most crucial bits of information in code. Finishing, she closed her notebook, and leaning her head back over the edge of the bench, let out a sigh. What now? Banshi reached her hand under her shirt, gently touching scar tissue on her stomach, remembering. Finishing her drink, Banshi ordered another one to calm her nerves... Almost wishing she did not hold her liquor so well.

"I've always been fond of twenty questions." He replied with a smirk. The bartender dropping off their drinks as he talked. "Alright well, tell me a bit about yourself?"

((Just so you know, Noah will be online later tonight :3 He is buisy today, and I'll be gone later this afternoon while he is away, too. We're going out to eat, but we should both be able to get online later tonight, k?))

Michael nodded and sipped his scotch. "I can understand that. Banshi and I go back a long time. Hell, she's one of the only people I..." He almost said loved but decided against it quickly, too many bad memories. "I've really gotten to know. Well, lets see. What can I say about myself. I'm an old, itallian swordsman who has seen his fair share of the world. I'm an info freak, I've got files on pretty much everyone around here. I enjoy travel, scotch, dancing, andf the company of certain other Crusniks." As he said the last bit he nodded over to Banshi and smiled. "Smart woman she is. Never met someone else like her."

Michael chuckled at the thought of him being brainy. "Agreed." He looked over at Banshi one more time before saying. "Well, it's been good meeting you Mercy. I dont' see many Crusniks anymore so the few I do meet are very well met. Sadly I have to go talk to the boss real quick, I feel it's urgent. So I'll talk to you later." Getting up from his seat, he quickly made his way over to her and sat next to her at the booth. "Is something wrong love?"

Michael nodded somberly. True this was a thought that had corssed him for many a time time but he had never really paid it much mind. At the moment it felt like a huge ball of ice had formed in his stomach but he ignored it enough to say. "Show me."
