 Felix's face spread into a wide grin. "Glad to hear it!" she beamed, as the orb in her hand slowed it's pace, and returned back to it's solid form,"I thought I might have to blackmail you into joining! It's a relief that you agreed so easily, but I must say, I am a little disappointed I wasn't able to use these." And with that, Felix flung the silver orb in Fiore's direction, however, instead of being hit with a ball, the orb changed into a liquid again and attached itself to Fiore wrists, forming a pair of solid handcuffs.
Laughing at the surprised look on Fiore's face, Felix flicked her hand,"Sorry...couldn't resist...," she said as the handcuffs melted onto the floor, freeing Fiore's arms, "I've been waiting forever to use those." Flicking her hand once more, Felix commanded the orb to return to her hand, making a mental note for Fiore to try and actually break out of the handcuffs later. "I wish it were as easy as you just 'signing up'," Felix said after a few moments, "If it were up to me, I'd hire you right now, so you can start testing my security system. In the end, we will both be benefiting from your enrollment. You would grow stronger as you steadily break through my traps, while I benefit from the challenge of ensnaring you in one of them in order to protect our mafia from 'real' intruders. Concerning outside missions, I believe my knowledge and technology would be of very good use to you..." Felix smiled knowingly, as she once again studied Fiore's orange eyes, "Not to mention, Izzy would love to have new friends around everyday. Her smile vanishing, Felix dropped Fiore's gaze, as she began pacing around the room again. "But the decision isn't up to me," Felix said, her tone dropping to a more serious note as she continued pacing, "You still have to get passed my cousin, and seeing as the 'tree' incident didn't go over so well.."
Ky can be such a stubborn fool, sometimes! Felix thought to herself, biting her thumb, If she doesn't like a person, she won't hire them no matter how talented they are...I've got to think of something!!
Think....think...think...
Pace. Pace. Pace.
Think...think...think...
"*argh!* This is so FRUSTRATIIING!!" Felix yelled, exasperated. Creating seemingly impossible inventions came easily to Felix, but not when it came to manipulating her cousin...Ky could almost always read her like a book. Scratching her head, Felix finally stopped pacing and looked at Fiore, "I'll talk to Ky," she said, making her orb glow different colors as she touched seemingly invisible keys on it's smooth surface. "Hopefully, she'll have calmed down by now, and will listen to reason...but I'll convince her to let you join. In the meantime, wear this," she said, throwing the orb once again at Fiore. Like before, the orb began taking on it's liquid form as it snaked around Fiore's wrist. However, instead of forming handcuffs, the silver liquid took on the shape of a silver wrist watch. "I'll contact you through that communicator when I get the 'ok'," Felix continued, walking over to her keyboard, and punching in some more commands.
Suddenly, a hole in the ceiling opened, that would suck Fiore back out onto the court yard. "I'd train myself in the meantime!! Felix yelled after her through the speaker phone, "You'll most likely have to prove yourself in a test, and who knows what that will be!!
Once again, there was silence in Felix's laboratory. Sighing heavily, Felix collapsed into her swivel chair. How am I going to convince Ky? she moaned, spinning herself round and round in thought as she gazed at the ceiling. Things would be sooo much easier if I worked for a drunkard...

Fiore looked at the two watches that she now had on her wrist as she was forced back up into the courtyard of the house and looked around. Fiore felt kind of awkward...feeling rather...that Felix could conceivably controll her now. Sure Fiore wanted to get stronger, but was this a little too extreme. Fiore sighed to herself and decided she need to blow off some steam. She ran back to her own house, plugging in the security code and opened the door.
"I'm home dad!"
No Response. Fiore shifted her orange eyes to the telephone and saw that line 3 was in use.
Fiore went further into the house into her personal combat practice room. Leaving her under armour on, she changed into a white robe, white pants, and pulled a black belt around her waste. She face the dummy in front of her and pulled her goggles over her eyes. She began punching with a series of high kicks at the dummy, feeling her rage turning into seriousness and concentration at every moment.
I'll have to prove myself to Ky. She doesn't know what she's dealing with...

Draven waded through the crowds; the streets were congested like a fat mans veins, blood clots, tch Draven thought as he pushed his way down the streets. Where he was now, made Draven stuck out like a sore thumb, something that he couldn’t have, not with mafia hunting him down. The large man worked his way down to the lower city, sure it was more seedy and dangerous but no one would know the difference from him and some local. As he moved down the streets, it was apparent that no one would easily want to take him in, so using the skills that he had finely honed over his many years of street life, Draven started to pass the word around that he was someone looking for work.
The man waited for hours, still nothing. The sun wasn’t getting any higher and obviously the temperature began to drop with the decline of the sun. With only a wife beater and a pair of dark denim jeans, Draven was sure to atleast have a very uncomfortable night, “God I hate this town already”, he said to himself, wondering the streets.
Draven rubbed his stubbed chin and pushed a stray strand of black hair out of his acid green eye. No one even tried to mug the large man; maybe it was the aura of leadership simply flowing around him, maybe the size. No one could ever really know.

 Kyrin spent the next couple hours renovating the mansion. She was working on one of the second story rooms. Wiping her face on her arm, she sighed and set down her paint brush. The room was now a dark blue color. Ky shifted her position and got up on her knees. She smiled as she looked at her work.
Osiris, who'd been playing in the far corner of the room let out a cry. Looking over, Kyrin laughed; The cub had gotten into the paint. Ky called Izzy to come look, as Osiris was now a blue pawed cub.

 Izzy peeked her head into the room from the hall, holding a dripping paintbrush in one hand and a small can of yellow paint. "Huh?" Splashes of yellow spots littered her hat and face as she broke into a grin and a squeal, before dropping the brush into the can and running over to Osiris, and exclaiming, "Cute~!"
She picked up the kitten and nuzzled him close. "Kitty prints!" Turning to Kyrin, she smiled, "I painted my room! It's pretty."

Kyrin looked at Izzy, "You painted-" She stopped and stood, "Did you take everything out first!?" Her voice was surprised, but not mad. Grabbing Izzy's free hand, Kyrin led Izzy to the her room. Her face fell for an instant as she saw the room covered with bright yellow paint. Staring at it for a moment, Kyrin began to laugh.

Draven frowned as he stepped in a puddle of who knows what. All that he knew was that his feet were now cold *and* wet, “could things get any worse?” he thought to himself, just as a car drove by and totally soaked the poor man, leaving him in an almost psychotically[spelling?] cheery disposition, “well! This makes things perfect!” he said spread his arms dramatically and also attracting some attention to himself, “if only it would rain now, oh that would make this night perfect!”
Looking to the sky Draven yelled, “rain god damn you, rain!” now the people watching started to slowly walk away, thinking the man totally mad, but that’s exactly what Draven wanted, if no one wanted to be around him, no one would recognize him and report him to the upper city mafia. When suddenly with a loud ‘crack-boom’ rain started to slow drizzle down. Draven cursed his stupidity, “why must I taunt god all the time!”

Felix's head jerked up from hearing Izzy's sudden squeal. What's she up to now? Felix thought, getting up out of her swivel chair and walking out of the laboratory. As she wandered down the hall in her fuzzy polar bear slippers, she noticed the carpet and walls were steadily starting to be covered in blue and yellow paint. Osiris...and paint...? Felix smiled thoughtfully as she noticed the blue paw prints.
"What the...?"Felix said, poking her head inside Izzy's paint splattered room, "Are we remodeling?"

As she followed Kyrin along to the newly painted room, Izzy asked rather innocently, "Was I suppose to take the stuff out?"
She walked over to her bed and poked the frame, a look of uncertainty on her face, "I think it looks nice... but now its all wet..." She looked at the finger she used to poke the bed frame and frowned at the spot of yellow paint that clung there. "I dont want it wet."
She walked back over to Kyrin and took her hand with a smile, "Can we go get new stuff? Please?"
Seeing Felix walked in, a rare happening for Izzy to find Felix outside of her lab, Izzy's face lit up. "Ky was painting and I wanted to paint but now everything's wet and I dont like it so we're gonna go get new stuff. Wanna come?" Izzy rambled off to Felix, ending it with a grin.

Always taken aback by Izzy's excitement, Felix stared at her wide eyed for a moment, then, after the initial shock of happiness had faded away, broke into a wide grin of her own, "Sounds good. Where did you guys plan on going?"
Turning to Ky, Felix nodded to the furniture,"Alot of this stuff is probably antiques, since we found them when we first moved in..." she smiled mischieviously, "Another trip to 'uppity town'?"
