Harrison stood, polishing the side of the tattoo gun.
That happened, sometimes, with Silver members. The extra person popping out of nowhere. Part of the bond thing that tied him and B0nez together.
"Okay. Anybody else?"
He eyed the other Silvers on stage.
"You got to join up with somebody. You want to take your chances back at your Kingdom, I won't stop you. But- the job's got perks. And you ask anybody here how good the pay is. We take care of our own."

The trumpets startled Candace, stepping back away from the girl as if she'd been burned by her. The silence was unnerving, it made her wonder if she'd even heard the trumpets to begin with. A look to Po told her that the woman had also at least experienced something strange just then. And then it happened, she heard The Voice. It was already starting, the first kingdom had already fallen just as she had begun to suspect, but for it to happen so soon sent a chill down her spine. The kingdom with the lowest Miasma to contribute...that was damn well not going to be them. Candace cleared her throat when the Voice stopped speaking, only for everything to flash blue and startle her again. Was this what Harrison went through every time he spoke with The Voice? Jesus.
Her discomfort was ruined by Harrison's incompetence with technology. Something normal. She choked back a laugh with a cough when he called for Rep, pressing a finger to her lips as if to shush herself while Rep messed with the computer. And then oh god the tattoo Harrison that isn't a hawk. Candace kept up her well-practiced poker face, watching the girl walk away with her lovely..hawk tattoo.
Note to self, if they make it through this buy Harrison a book about birds and have it sent anonymously to him.
Suddenly something threw itself at her, a weight she was completely unused to, and she stumbled a step or two until she caught herself and looked to see who was hugging her. Why was someone hugging her. Who was it. Oh, that girl. My, she looked lovely. Candace forced a smile, patting the girl's back. "Blue suits you." Let go. "Ah, you have a partner. How lovely!" Let go. "It's good to have you. I never did get your name." Let go.

If the coffee and the smacks hadn't done it, seeing a woman suddenly transform had been enough to pull Jerry back to some semblance of sobriety.
He gaped, still questioning everything.
Was he understanding correctly?
"Looks like m'new friend is movin' up real quick," Roar grumbled, but was relieved that Jerry at least had stopped wobbling and threatening to be sick. "You're sober enough. Getcher a** up there before Harrison flays both of our's." He kept a close tail on the man, but let him lead them up onto the stage once again.
Jerry's face had gone pale. With that new... rather... incredibly attractive woman as a fellow knight, did he not need him any more? Was the trust broken by celebrating a bit too hard? Had the chair been too much oh god he would buy a new chair he would he promised-
"Sir?" He managed at least to keep his voice somewhat level as he met Harrison.

He went back inside, heading for the stage. In his panic, he hadn’t realized how much distance he had cleared. The boss wanted them to join? Now he was trying to sale it, ridiculous. Though it did sound good, if you didn’t include the portion where they would all die possibly horrible deaths. No he wouldn’t join yet. They just might be the next kingdom to fall and when that happened, he wanted to be able to get out. No he wasn’t going to join, but he would help this kingdom for now. Even the temptation of becoming an officer, no he did not want power, besides, he highly doubted they would really give him any power after his earlier actions.
Besides he needed to get back to silver tower. He had to be sure it was really gone and there might be information there regarding the voice.

"Going once," Harrison warned, wiggling the blue pill bottle. "Twice..."

"Gone," Harrison said, handing the gun to Rep so he could pack the box up. He pocketed the pill bottle. "Jerry, Roar. You take care of Cee here. Show her the ropes."
He took a split second to think over the Voice's explanation of the layout.
"Sounds like all the good stuff's in the Tower, so that's where I'm sending you." At least, that's where he'd stash it. The place that was crumbling apart, no thanks. And the maze...well, the flowers might be worth something.
"If a few of you want to go flower-picking in that maze, I won't stop you. Don't get too banged up, the other Kingdom's will probably be sniffing around and I need you fresh in case it comes down to a fight. Silver guys, you want to help, even if you don't join up you can pad your wallets a little. I need miasma, and we could use some tour guides. Up to you, though."
He smirked.
"If you decide to come back, we'll see if any of you want to renegotiate."
He took a sweeping look of the Casino- the food, the guests, his family.
"Alright," he barked, "grab any equipment you got and head out. Time's wasting."Rep/Tracey: Six-winged Dragon (Baneful) Jordan/Ferros: Fire Dragon (Prolixity) Jerry/Roar: Wolf (Bilious) Concetta DiGregorio AKA Cee: Swan (Halo) Candace/Atropos: Leopard (Eight) Melvin/Salvia: Rabbit (MoonKitsune) Rin/Byrr: Stag (Sali) Ahm: Crocodile (Syrie) Gargantuan: Carp (Tsunake) LC Malodore: Crane (Sosiqui) Matt/Kasi: Butterfly (hanging gallow) Nukpana: Coyote (x_Nata_x) Riyo: Cat (Sexy Cocaine) Sammy: Wolverine (Miliardo Kason) Sepheran: Snake (Taska Neko) Serafina Arai: Komodo Dragon (Seiana_ZI) Taima: Raven (Inle-Roo) Jing Zheng: Left-facing Fox (Bloodlust Dante) Ying Zheng: Right-facing Fox (chimarii) Andrew: (Phantom) Olivia: (Chiri) Gertrude: (Tenko 72) OOC Everyone is assigned to The Silver Kingdom Remains, but if you want to, some of you may go Flower Picking in The Labyrinth instead. .......(UPDATE: ......or the Blighted Heart...I won't judge....) We've got battles ahead, and not many ways to refresh HP. Try not to dip below 50% of your HP. Play it smart, get miasma, and retreat back to base. ON GOING TO THE TOP OF THE TOWER: IF you roll the rusted key in the Tower, go ahead and try to get to the top. Your HP may drop under the 50% HP rule, but try not to get KOed. If you are very low HP with a lot of miasma already, get back to base. IF your rolls have been very nice, you may also try for the top of the Tower. ON SPECIAL TOWER EVENTS: If you roll an 8 or a 5, just...retreat without activating those....probably... if you want to die you can.... (just don't use the 5) Make an exit post before leaving the thread.

Jerry glanced over to Cee again, brows raised and his eyes dipping down to her new pencil skirt. He pushed his glasses up his nose with a weak smile, "Yes, sir!" "And I'll keep an eye on all of 'em," Roar grumbled with a sigh, grabbing Jerry by the back of his brightly colored shirt to drag him over to the other new Officer. "Hello!" Jerry shook him off, straightening himself up to smile in what he felt was a charming way to the rather lovely new lady. "Jerry, Jerry Collins, Miss! You'll be very glad to have joined us, we really do look after our own here, I'd be rotting in a cold dark jail cell without the Boss-" Definitely a way into a woman's affections, admitting to being a felon, Roar rolled his eyes.

Gargantuan's face was growing paler and paler the faster that knife danced across the table, unconsciously gripping his own hands until they turned white and hurt. "H-Hey. Hey." He wheezed, concerned she was gonna lop off her own goddang fingers before he could stop her.
That was when the trumpets blasted in his mind and scared the hell out of him.
G nearly fell off his stool as he leapt to his feet, dumbstruck by The Voice resonating in his mind. He stood there, quivering, his mouth slack-jawed with shock. It was true. The Voice. It needed him, and the big man lifted a trembling hand to rub it against his cheek. Miasma. It needed Miasma. His family needed Miasma, so that they could all live and triumph.
"I'm ready, Boss." He said hoarsely, doffing his hat once more. "The Tower. I got it."
((LEAVING FOR DA TOWER))

They were going to the tower? Well he would just catch a ride with them. It seemed the boss would welcome him back, to renegotiate. He just silently followed the crowd. But before that he was grabbing some of that coffee being passed around, it was a long day, only getting longer.

"Got it. Be right back.", it was all Rep needed to say. The tower. He got up from the chair, summoned his claws and headed out. Mass perked up and followed him purposefully out.
Tracey nimbly jogged out after him, her heels clicking on the floor.

Ying felt a strange sort of excitement. Though she knew she was going to her death ... at least it wasn't a death in the city.
She gave her brother a quick kiss on the cheek and then followed the crowd out.

Cee detached from Candace as her giddy glee finally wore away. Her new King had made some decisions and the scarred, thin man was to be her escort as well as his burly friend. "Hello again.." She winked at Roar, lips quirking, until Jerry finally introduced himself. "Oh Jerry huh?" She pursed her lips, arms slinking through his elbow so she could almost hang off of him. "Concetta DiGregorio. Cee is good though." Thick lashes smacked in a heavy handed wink. As he spoke of the Boss she cast Harrison another glance behind her and then back. "He's a good guy huh? And you're a bit of a bad boy.. eh?" Her giggle was definitely put-on but the man seemed receptive. "I once broke a man's nose for gettin too handsy.." she grinned. "So watch yourself, handsome." Snap followed silently behind with a silent, stoic expression. She glanced up at Roar with dull green eyes and a hardline of green lips. No words.

Jerry, in true manly fashion, blushed and giggled as Cee took his arm and purred in his ear. "I... Ahahaha well, not TOO bad, but bad enough!" He managed, hoping that was a decent enough answer. Gosh, she looked pretty in her new outfit. He hadn't had much time to change, but thankfully what he had been wearing under his jumpsuit would do. Handsome, she had called him handsome, NO ONE called his mangled face handsome oh goodness, she must like him!
"W-well, Miss Cee, I think we'll be good friends! Do you have any talents?"
Roar drifted behind, keeping a sharp green eye of his own on Snap, not trusting the silent figure that seemed to have appeared out of no where. Magic, especially foreign magic, was not to be trusted.

"Ah well.." Something had held up their exiting and so Cee relaxed a bit. She certainly could recognize how thick she was laying it on with this guy. Perhaps she was just too enthusiastic about this turn of events. Peasant to Knight in the span of a few hours? She congratulated herself.
Cee's arm loosened on Jerry's fingers now lightly resting on his arm, long nails idly tapping and rubbing and scritching. "I've always done well for myself with just my mind and my.. skills. Varied as they are. A little talk, a little walk, information, favors.." She shrugged and smiled. "I'm not adverse to a little tussle here and there." Did she mean a real fight? Or the fun kind of tussle? Her tone was too playful to tell.
Snap caught Roar's wary glance but all she did was shake her emaciated head slowly. A lock of dark green hair tumbled from under her hat. She lifted er sleeve and showed him her new tattoo. They were comrades now. Family. Those sorts of looks just would not do.
