As Will waited for Nikolai's response, if the Dancing Owl was going to give him a response after receiving the key, the fight between Che and Tai ended. Kate had interrupted the fight, and Sebastian had saved the pink haired woman from being slaughtered like a pig and squashed like a bug. The Satan Owl smiled lightly. How else had Kate somehow found her way to that arena so easily? Will had let her, and, as expected, Che had stopped like a deer in headlights. Will's student wouldn't have lasted if Tai and Sebastian had actually worked together effectively or had not held back. Disappointing, Cheani. Hmph.

Luca shifted in his seat lightly as he listened her her own gruesome remembrance of her past. He looked slightly away as she mentioned killing her parents and the countless other unfortunate turns her life had taken. She was truly a sympathetic person if there ever was one. Luca smiled at her lightly, shaking his head. "Exactly it's all history, past events that do not dictate who we are today. What happened prior to our meeting won't change how I feel." He said softly, he opened his mouth to speak again when the waiter arrived back at their table, with their plates. Luca supposed that in their explanation of their various pasts that more time had passed than he thought. He smiled a little as the waiter placed their plates in front of them.
"Will there be anything else?"
"No I think we're good, thank you though sir." He said as the waiter nodded and walked away. Luca looked down at his steak, Wagyu cows were imported from Japan they were renown as the finest tasting steaks, an extremely low amount could be shipped out, given the time it takes to prepare the cows that they use. Luca placed his napkin in his lap and then picked up the silverware. He looked towards Bailey and said. "Well looks like we can finally eat."

Bailey was happy to know that her gruesome past hadn't changed the way Luca felt about her. The past was the past. There was no way to go back and change it. Certain things happened for a certain reason. In a way, it was her lack of control that brought her to the UNS, that brought her to Luca. After all, if she'd had control...would she have sought them out? The answer was most likely not. It was because of her deadly abilities that she had taken this path. The road had been hard and would only get harder, but no path in life was easy. It's never meant to be. The Vector Owl was surprised when their food was brought out. She hadn't realized how long they had been talking. It must've been for awhile. Bailey unfolded her red cloth napkin and laid it gently in her lap before picking up her knife and fork and cutting into the chicken. "To be honest with you, this is the most I've eaten within the past two months," she said grinning sheepishly. That isn't to say she starved herself while in New Orleans, but there had been days when she hadn't eaten at all. But the meals she had eaten wouldn't fill anyone up.

(Long awaited timeskip initiation.)
Kate obviously had a way of taming the bushy haired man when it was needed as with her slap, she was able to draw him out of his electrical form and into a lull of silence. He mouthed the words 'Ow, that kinda---' but before he could put any voice behind them, the Russian, pink-haired woman was already giving him a lecture. Later on, he'd probably apologize for calling her woman. Thinking of names in the heat of battle though was something Che knew he couldn't do let alone would do if he didn't need to. That'd only amount to more slaps in the future more than likely. The Italian was more than sure that his face could take more of a beating though so he was safe.
"I know you're grown...but geez, don't get too close to chaos if you don't have to alright? Just looking out for you Kate..." said Che as he rubbed the throbbing hand print that was still etched in red on his cheek. The room was now empty, and Sebastian's portal was still there waiting to be used. Returning his attention to Kate, he went on to say, "Christ...no, I don't expect you to whittle the time...you've got to tell me how you found your way down here though. Near future. Not now since we have to get back upstairs for these guys. C'mon." Taking Kate's hand, the Mastering Owl proceeded into the portal that Sebastian left behind for them. Their reappearance was in the main office of Will's casino.

It had been three days since Amara had her talk with Roulin and she felt a little better about the situation, though she could still feel that Lucien was being more distant. In fact, he didn't even sleep in the same room as she did. Amara sat in her room, looking over the city of Las Vegas, the psion was eating a light breakfast of turkey bacon, over easy eggs, half of a grapefruit and a rum and coke, yes it was early in the day but she didn't mind, she never thought that it was a wrong time to drink.
Once Amara finished her breakfast the psion cleaned herself and brushed her hair before leaving her room. Once she shut her door behind her she began to roam the halls of the Casino. Her and Roulin had made a lot of money the other day from gambling and she decided that a little retail therapy would be just what she needed to calm herself down.
Jeannie had been fairly quite and in the background while they were here in Vegas, especially since that pest Amara was now back in the picture. She was messing up everything. The blonde fixed herself up and finished herself off with some perfume she had purchased in Italy. The telepath then left her room and approached Lucien's room. Knocking on the door, she decided that today they could get some talking in...and maybe more than that.
Aeon had enjoyed the time she had spent with her boyfriend Moli, it seemed that she could never grow bored with her light herald boyfriend and vice versa. She just hoped that they would always have the flame in their relationship. Moli was still asleep and Aeon was watching Aiden. The last couple of days she had gotten acquainted with Will's servants/minions. She was personally fond of Sebastian, perhaps because he was intelligent and could match her with philosophical thoughts...that are just random things they had chosen to talk about. That and it helped to have someone help her watch Aiden...even if she did watch him more than Sebastian did. Aeon held Aiden in her arms as she awaited to hear from Sebastian, she figured that he had something interesting to talk about today...and she couldn't wait. ((Haka, I hope you dont mind Aeon becoming "chummy" with Sebastian, since she won't be participating in the last fight, she needs to develop relationships with the people who serve Will lol))

Three days had passed since Cecilia had enjoyed a night at the casino with Erin. Even though Roulin had been only a few yards away with Amara, she had managed to enjoy her evening and between herself and the Artistic Owl, they had won an impressive amount of money, which was split evenly between them. Cecilia had used some of her earnings to buy a sewing machine and some bolts of fabric. Cecilia had another talent besides singing. It was a talent that she kept often kept hidden, for she was slightly embarrassed about it. Cecilia was able to design. Not just scarves and simple sweaters, but entire ensembles. Once she had an idea in her head, it was easy to bring to life in the fabrics. She was even able to take old torn up shoes and restore them into their newest states making them appear better than before. The same went for belts as well.
Early that morning, Cecilia sat at the desk where the sewing machine was, silently at work. She was a red spaghetti straps tank top that showed off her midriff and a pair of low riding drawstring purple pajama pants. Her long silver hair had been pulled up hastily into a messy ponytail. A few locks had escaped their bindings and were framing the Herald's face. She pushed them back only to have them fall again. She had been working all night without sleep, but that was something she didn't require as often as anyone else. Looking up at the time, she figured that stopping might be a good idea. Slowly coming to a stop, she unplugged the sewing machine and put everything, including the sewing machine away and hid her talents in the closet...literally before choosing something to wear. Once dressed and her hair did not looking rats had been crawling through it all night, she walked out of her room and down the hall.
It was Cecilia's plan to grab some breakfast and after that, perhaps head to the training room. But unfortunately, in her view was someone she was unsure she wanted to talk to. Amara seemed to have awoken earlier. Of course, with a baby she expected that the Psion would have to be an early riser. Cecilia froze for a moment. Did she really want to talk to this woman who she had seen with Roulin the other night? Provided she didn't see anything romantic happening between them while at the casino. But what about what had happened after they left? Cecilia shook her head, mentally slapping herself for thinking such a thing. Amara would never allow something like that to happen, especially not with Lucien in the same area. Then again, Lucien wasn't exactly the most aware of personal or social matters. While he was intelligent in a lot of matters. In social matters, he was mentally impaired as a nice way of putting it. Amara had been nothing, but nice to her. There was no reason for Cecilia to hold a grudge, even if the Lucky Owl had been gambling with Cecilia's boyfriend the other night instead of Cecilia herself. Taking a deep breath, Cecilia's lips formed a smile and she found herself walking up to the young woman. "Morning, Amara!" she called out heartily, hoping to catch her attention.

Amara was focused on the new things she was going to buy herself and maybe some things for the baby when all of a sudden, she heard the cosmic owl's voice. Turning around she saw the azure colored woman and smiled. "Good morning Cecilia. I haven't seen you around the last couple of days how are things with you?" she asked genuinely. She noticed the outfit that Cecilia was wearing. Though Amara doubted she would wear that particular ensemble, she had to admit that it was cute. "That's a nice outfit that you have on girl. Where did you get it?" she asked the new gravity herald. Amara had spoken to Cecilia a few times before since she met her but never had an extensive conversation with the young woman.
Perhaps today, Amara could change that. She did remember her conversation with Roulin, perhaps, Cecilia could use a talk as well. Unaware that Cecilia was on the casino floor that night, she felt that there was nothing wrong. If Amara would have known she would have spoken to the azure owl...or at least invited her over to play Roulette with herself and Roulin. "I just finished a light breakfast...but I think I might grab a bagel and a muffin...probably get another drink and then head to the mall to do some shopping for me and Aiden. Aeon is taking care of him today and I think I need to clear my head" she said laughing. Amara then had an idea. "Hey if you'd like we can grab some breakfast and perhaps head to the mall...that's if you'd like to go with me...if you don't want to, I won't mind or anything" she said offering the opportunity to Cecilia.

Cecilia had assumed that Amara didn't see her at the casino, for she didn't mention anything about it. "Things are what they are with me," she said pushing a few strands of hair out of her face. "Not exactly good, and not exactly bad. My life is at its inbetween point in time at the moment." She looked down at her ensemble, which Amara had complimented. She had bought it with her earnings. The jacket had been falling apart when she bought it at a thrift store, but she saw potential in it and restored it to its formal glory. "Well...the pants, black shirt, shoes, and earrings I got at the mall, but the jacket I got at a thrift store. It was um...let's say falling apart and I basically restored it," she said, her cheeks tinging pink as she confessed a small bit of her hidden talent.
She nodded when Amara suggested they go for breakfast and perhaps the mall afterwards. "Well, I guess I have some time. I would like to get some training in today." She looked down at the floor and rubbed her right forearm briefly allowing her left arm to fall to her side as she looked up at Amara. "So, I saw you and Roulin at the casino the other night. How'd y'all do with the winnings and such?" she asked with mild curiosity. "I was there with Erin." It was on the tip of her tongue to ask if there was something going on between the Lucky Owl and the Life Owl, but Cecilia bit her tongue and waited for Amara to respond, if she had a response at all.

((Will))
First day of training hadn't gone as well as Will hoped. No one had met his expectations, and now people were relaxing. Relaxing a bit too much...and winning some nice money. Supposedly, that was why they had two weeks, Radiant had said. Yeah, two weeks of wasted time if no one trained enough.That was just fine... The devil didn't care about the money his charges were winning. It was more the training. Will had his ways of making people fight. They were in his realm, so he could easily sneak surprises on them to keep them on their toes, and Will did not distinguish between those with babies and those without. His staff didn't care for the most part either though Aeon seemed to try to befriend them. While she probably thought she had succeeded, she was probably just being fooled. Will's minions/servants were not really the type that became "chummy" with people...although it did depend on what they worked.
But there was something that Will needed to attend to. That was where he was off to now. The blonde devil smiled as he stepped into a certain albino Owl's bedroom in New Exire, more specifically in New York. The white haired woman had gotten set up quite nicely here actually. He simply waited and took a seat on Serena's bed, waiting for Serena to arrive.
Somewhere else, a certain three headed dogs' ears perked as all three heads raised in unison and barked happily....

The rest of the evening for Bailey and Luca had been wonderful and surprisingly, without interruption as what would usually happen. The next two to three days were spent training. Gradually, day by day, Bailey got closer and closer to what she had been longing for, for ten years. The third day they were in Vegas, Bailey awoke that morning. Her long curly raven hair was fanned out over the pillow. She looked to the right, a few strands of hair tickling her nose, which she lightly brushed. Luca was sleeping next to her. She smiled at him and slowly sat up, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She wore a long periwinkle silk nightgown, the straps had fallen down her shoulders. She adjusted them and slid quietly out of bed.
The nightgown's material was very thin and when looked at closely...well...Bailey took the silk robe from the hook in the bathroom and donned it, tying it tightly. Instead of getting dressed right away, however, she walked to the window and peered out, rubbing the back of her neck with her right hand. Her vectors had stopped their constant punching and now it had become just a thump as if she had triplets kicking at once inside of her. She had considered Luca's advice, to allow them to roam free, but she didn't want to do that until she knew that she could fully control them. Her long raven hair fell across her shoulders as she gazed down at the morning Las Vegas scene. Even during the daytime, the city was bustling with crowds. It seemed that there was always something to do in this Sin City.

((TFP---Serena))
“4AM and they woke me up to help out with the fighting. 4AM! Idiots can’t even handle a few humans. Hmph….” Serena was never happy when she was suffering from lack of sleep. While her bad mood often left others red in the face, it never affected how she worked. Of course she had been able to vent her anger on the poor souls who had tried to enter New Exire. Their courage was admirable but it had also been their downfall. The Vanishing Owl was not one to care for those who fall but she still found this whole war stupid and a waste of her time. Hell, why was she even here? Ah yes…looking after Kojiro. Serena hadn’t seen Kojiro since the last time he came round for dinner a couple of days ago. Perhaps meeting Cerberus was not a good experience for him. “Maybe I should get him round for breakfast…” Serena didn’t trust that boy trying to feed himself.
As the white haired woman fished around in her pockets for the keys to her apartment she heard barking. Not a normal dog’s bark but a Cerbs bark. “What is he getting excited about?”Cerberus was becoming harder to hide away and Serena knew that was because he was getting bored. She understood that being locked up hours on end was no walk in the park but what else could she do? “Alright Cerbs I am coming so be quiet already!” It was still early and Serena was pretty sure the other people who lived in the building didn’t want to be woken up just yet. Not as if she really cared; if she didn’t have sleep then why should they? Pushing the door open Serena glanced around wearily. She had half expected Cerberus to tackle her…but he wasn’t even in the lounge.
“Hmph…Happy to see you too..” Kicking of her boots, the Vanishing Owl stretched and headed to the kitchen. “Cerberus. Steak.” It was a daily routine feeding the three headed hell hound and he knew it. Cerbs expected a steak on the hour every hour…and they were not cheap. Still, Serena would only feed him the best. “Cerbs?” It was getting strange…this was out of character for Cerberus. He should already be in the kitchen noming up the steak! “Are you hiding from me? Don’t tell me you chewed up something…Oh man please don’t say you have ruined my bed!” Woe would surly befall the Vanishing Owl if she had to sleep on the sofa.~ And so with steak in hand, Serena booted open her bedroom door. “CERBER----ehhhh……..?!” There sitting on her bed like some innocent lost person, was Will.
It took a good few seconds for Serena to actually move from the door way but even then it was only to place the steak down. “And you are here because?” She couldn’t even think of a reasonable question to ask…nor was she able to actually greet him. “Do make it quick because I am about to pass out for the next few hours” Ah, the Vanishing Owl was definitely in a good mood…However, she was not as happy as Cerberus was…
((UNS---Daryle))
While everyone else was relaxing and gambling their souls away in sin city, the Breezy Owl was in Japan coming to terms with his newly acquired title. In the moment when Daryle had been on deaths doorstep Ember, the Fire Herald, had granted him the chance of life. Daryle had accepted her gift without fully knowing what it would do to his current life. Things were going to change and Daryle wasn’t sure if he was going to like it… “Never growing old..Heh, most would kill for eternal youth.” But Daryle wasn’t like most people. He already thought he had everything he needed from life; A beautiful wife, a cute and intelligent daughter and a son on the way. Sure it wasn’t perfect…but it was still a life to be proud of…it was still his life.
Nearby Freya was colouring some picture that Daryle had drawn. He was trying his best to keep her occupied and out of Myra’s sight. For some reason Myra and Freya just didn’t get along, but if you tried tell Myra that Freya was just a kid..She would probably smack you across the room. “How am I going to explain everything to Erin? She is always understanding…but this is something different….this is going to ruin us…” Sighing softly, the Breezy Owl stepped out the room and strolled down one of the many hallways. Somewhere in this huge house was Ember. Apparently she wasn’t happy about the lack of booze in the house. Daryle was sure it was Sebastian’s doing. Like some extra safety precaution. Either way the blonde male thought it was more dangerous without alcohol then with it.
((NPC---Seb)
Busy busy busy…Sebastian’s schedule had grown by a considerable amount due to all the guests currently under Will’s care. The dark haired butler didn’t care so much; he was still able to do everything he usually does even with all these people running around. Currently he was in his office finishing up some paperwork and merely enjoying the peace and quiet. It was quite nice that Myra hadn’t rung him lately to complain about broken dish sets and annoying kids. “She must be getting along with her new friend.” Of course, the last time she had rang Seb she has announced that Daryle had brought back some red haired woman, but the details were blurry…but Myra had been excitable.
Over the last two days Sebastian had spent some of his rare free time entertaining one of the Owls. Aeon had an interesting mind and so her conversations were not dumb and they were somewhat amusing and quite thoughtful. Still, Sebastian was only entertaining the girl in his role as the perfect butler. Speaking of Aeon, Seb had gone through the trouble and acquired a few books for her to read, just random biographies about famous dead people. Standing up, Sebastian grabbed the books and made his way to where Aeon was. He knocked three times on the precisely and waited. “Hmm…perhaps I should organise a buffet meal tonight…And I will need to head over to Japan at some point to check on things there.” Busy busy busy….this was how Sebastian liked it.

((Will))
Serena's bed was safe and sound and even safer from Cerbs with a certain blonde man sitting calmly on it. The three headed dog romped in behind Serena into the bedroom from nowhere and shoved her in before digging a head or three into the steak she had put down happily.
Will looked to the door as the bedroom door opened to reveal the albino Owl. She looked rather tired and ragged, which meant she was in the best of moods. Nothing strange about that. Will was used to dealing with Serena's hissy moods. He gestured to the bed. "Then lie down...or you could wait until you return home. I've come to take you back. It's about time you had a real break." And meanwhile, Will remained sitting on Serena's bed like a pristine figure who had come down from heaven....

Amara was impressed that she had fixed up the jacket, she knew she didn't have the skill to sew but Amara was interested in fashion. Training....again. Amara would have to think on that, she didn't want to spar with Lucien anymore...not from that surprise attack he pushed on her. When she mentioned her and Roulin, Amara looked at her with surprisement, she hoped that Cecilia didn't think there was something more than what it was. "I'd have to say we walked away with at least forty thousand, splitting it sixty-forty of course" she said teasingly of course. She wasn't like that, Roulin got his fair cut and so did she. "That's why I wanted to get some shopping in for Aiden and myself" she said to her. As they walked to get breakfast at the restaurant downstairs, Amara asked Cecilia the same question. "How much did you guys earn?" she asked her.
They were now at the restaurant in the casino and were seated accordingly. Ordering a malibu and sprite and requesting a bagel and muffin, Amara knew she would be full bout time they were done. Of course, Cecilia was more than welcome to order a huge breakfast.
Aeon opened the door to see Sebastian. Smiling she welcomed him in. "Hello Sebastian, any good books to read? Perhaps a discussion or something?" she asked him. Aiden start to clap and laugh as the butler entered. For some reason the babe had take a liking to the butler. Aeon still wondered what was Moli doing in the bed still. Perhaps he would like to accompany her and Sebastian with a few of his thoughts, that's if Sebastian wasn't too busy to day, which she had a feeling he was. It was quite alright though, Aeon was very capable of entertaining herself. ((Sorry for the crap post again...IDK what's wrong with me sad ))

Cecilia remembered Erin's and her winnings a few nights ago. It could be considered a very lucky night. "We earned about fifty thousand," she said. "We split it fifty-fifty. I'm not sure what Erin did with her earnings, but I indulged in a few things that I wanted, plus some things I needed." They arrived at the casino restaurant and sat down. Cecilia sat across from Amara and ordered a large coffee and a banana nut muffin. She was unsure if her stomach could take much more than that. Drumming her newly manicured nails on the table for a few moments, she opened her mouth and spoke. "Don't take this question the wrong way, but I have to ask or else it's going to drive me insane. But is there something going on between you and Roulin?" she asked as plain as day. This was something she had to know. She had to know if there really was something going on between her boyfriend and the Lucky Owl. As soon as she knew the answer, perhaps the burden would lift itself off of her shoulders.
