Setsuko smiled at hearing Lilith's words of reassurance. Since her own mother was always too busy to spend time with her Setsuko definitely felt like she was starting to be part of a family, albeit a very strange one. With Misty bursting into the room Setsuko was taken by surprise. Did Misty know anything about devils? Lilith never said she was part of their group.
Lilith and Janus started to stalk away from the quota talk to more innocuous things as Misty began cleaning with a vengeance. Janus, who was still in her chair and overall less aware, suffered a collision, a glancing blow, with the rushing brunette, sending her spinning and kareening across the room. By contrast the much more graceful Lilith was stepping in and out of the right place at the right time, in time with Misty’s zealous cleaning pattern. It looked like a dance. As she went through the motions she incorporated passing sweeps of an eraser over the board to hide the brilliant structure of her empire from unwanted eyes; those of course being anyone not in the organization. By the time Misty would see it there would be enough to assume a trip to a convention was being planned.
Lilith could see the look on Setsuko’s face screaming for a lead to follow; the people watching Succubus could definitely see this and offered up a simple shake of the head.
“Misty, is it?” Said the MoS interrupting the cleaning typhoon for a moment. “How do you feel about manga? Do you think anime is making our poor country a bunch of aloof slobs with no real grasp on emotional schema or ‘reality’ as a whole?” She ended up chuckling a bit to diffuse the tension in the room. Such a heavy question for an ill-coping people! Lilith was at the board not, drawing over what she’d mapped out before. It was a little picture of Japan with a big-headed otaku devil poking at it with what was either a pencil or a stylus in a heaving bed of flames.
“... I’m sorry, did you need something?” Lilith meant to shoo off the young one with this question, thinking that a cleaner was quite unnecessary in the small room.
“So, Rias tells me you’re just starting out in patrol… How is that going for you?” Of course it would be rude not to at least ask. Such a busy girl, with such an important job!
Misty Taw Sacred Gear:Vritras's Scale: Rise of the Juggernaught
While different from the Juggernaught drive. It earned it's name because of it's atrocious resistance and endurance in battle. This scale was blessed with Vritra's Physical Strength and Endurance which enhances the wielders endurance in battle. How far would they go it's up to their will. Deep within lies a destructive force that would consume it's wielder if they aren't careful, which is why the wielder needs to be in constant activity to keep the Scale dormant.
As Misty kept sweeping the manga room until it was squeaky clean, she was addressed by Lilith, given the strong influential aura she carried, it was easier for her words to reach Misty despite the brunette's current condition.
The hungering girl stopped as she turned over, surprised as to hear a voice inside the room. "Uh? Lilith Sensei?" Misty was quickly to approach the MoS after placing the mop and broom aside. She hasted her hands over her backpack's pocket before taking out various forms from the directive's at school. "Tanichiba Sensei said you needed to review these papers since they are implementing new criteria for student evaluation, Hazane Sensei sends you this brownies and says -thank you for helping me out yesterday I owe you one- . Sasami sensei sends you this love letter, of course she babbled a little after saying that and said it was a meeting letter... oh I was supposed not to tell you something but I can't really remember what it was." Said Misty while delivering the various goodies, just how many activities had she gotten into? As Lilith asked her about the patrol, Misty gave and eager smile with fire in her eyes. "It's been great, we patrol a lot and see lots of stuff. Have you happen so see anything strange? Be sure to contact us. A safe place means safe people and safe people are happy people." Despite her eager behaviour it was still unclear wether she was aware of the existence of angeles, demons and such. But for the most part it appeared, or more likely, the case was that she completely ignored those vital facts, to her it was all a daily life dealing with just... weird people. "How is school doing Lilith sensei? Oh, you must be very busy, you need to be carefull not to stress yourself... here" Misty said as she pulled out a contract pamphlet with House of Alistor's Insignia. "I'm not sure if it works but I was told this helps people realize their dreams. So, if you are lacking some sleep I'm sure they could help... or at least hope so." Misty said with complete naivety of her actions, handing her a contract to the MoS? Crazy! But she did it on good will unaware she was hasting someone else's job.
Looking thoughtful it took her a while to assimilate the question regarding manga. "I don't really know much about manga. I just signed on this club to help with cleaning shores, because the studen council told me the president of this club has soo much pressure on her shoulders that she could need a helping hand, but she mustn't know this because she's very sensitive or so they told. That's why I clean things first and leave before she gets here... I got a little late since I had to give away a whole lot bunch of these" She said as she pointed a the pamphlet she gave Lilith. Still unaware of Janus's or even Setsuko's existence, despite the president was standing next to her. Misty, while clumsy and distracted, maintained a strong eye contact with Lilith at all time while addressing her. Suddenly her stomach began growling as the brunette still hadn't filled her lunch quota, and for a brief second through the windows of her eyes, her sacred gear peeked at Lamia. Trying to get control of the brunette as they both were hungering.
Misty was almost the opposite of Setsuko. She was extremely sociable and could talk for Japan. Where as she was quiet and didn't go out much. But hearing some else say it really struck home with her. But she knew that even if she was weak she had people who could help her. "Thank you Misty." She said with a smile.
Oh... This... Is, incredible! Little Aliie's hunting for more pieces. We'll just have to--what are you looking at, trick!
Janus and Lilith glanced up at each other with the same look at the same time. It was fun to watch the two operate on the same wavelength; just the look, the start, the unseen synchrony of the two was something they--and Lamia--only had.
"That's beautiful, Misty, thanks!" Said Lilith taking the pamphlet with a smile--and a grain of salt, of course. "These are all great. Well, except the homework." She was of course referring to the student evaluations. "But I think you're the one who's working too hard. Why don't you take the night off? We'll clean up here."
"Yeah, you look tired... And hungry. Why don't you get some rest and a donut?" Said the goddess of doors stepping into the conversation.
"Setsuko, why don't you two walk each other home? Misty's on patrol, so she knows how to take care of herself. We'll talk about this tomorrow." The MoS didn't want to send Setsuko off so soon, but she wanted to start planning with Janus.

Misty Taw Sacred Gear:Vritras's Scale: Rise of the Juggernaught
While different from the Juggernaught drive. It earned it's name because of it's atrocious resistance and endurance in battle. This scale was blessed with Vritra's Physical Strength and Endurance which enhances the wielders endurance in battle. How far would they go it's up to their will. Deep within lies a destructive force that would consume it's wielder if they aren't careful, which is why the wielder needs to be in constant activity to keep the Scale dormant.
The brunette tilted her head, while she wasn't knowledgeable about Lilith's true form and nature there was, something in her, she felt it. The moment Lilith and Janus looked at each other piked her curiosity. "Lilith sensei?" She was puzzled, what was she staring at? It was then when she heard Setsuko's voice thanking her. A cold shiver ran down her spine as she quickly jumped sideways while staring at Setsuko, breaking away from her fragile concentration as she finally noticed her sempai. "Sestuko sempai!" Said the startled brunette, her eyes were filled with the president's figure which was decorated with Setsuko's kind smile. Still the hyperactive brunette would rush and kneel before the blue haired girl within an apologetic matter. "Waah!" She exclaimed as she lowered her face, to the floor. "Please forgive me, Setsuko sempai, I was supposed to be here earlier but I caught up with some task and I ended up being late." Then, just as soon as she hit the floor, the brunette hasted her hands back at her backpack as she scavenged through it's contents once again. "Tanichiba sensei wants you to fill a report of the convention, he said to fill this, this , and that form over here. The student council will held a meeting in a few days and you are also expected to attend since they want to know your progress. You should bring a copy of the report for them as well as bringing some material and probably a presentation about the convention, you remember to take pictures right? Vice president said you body looked tasty, I'm not sure what she meant by that but she sure was happy to think of it. She didn't saw me when she said this but why else would she said your name out loud if she didn't knew I was there. It was weird but then I remembered conventions usually involve dress ups, so, Setsuko sempai, what was it? did you dress as a fruit? Rice ball? Takoyaki?..." Misty suddenly got carried away, thinking of all that food made her hungry, suddenly the girl could be seen drooling lightly as she kept on listing possible food costumes for Setsuko to be wearing. Misty was spacing off, drifting away by her hunger, actually seeing setsuko as one of the meals she listed. Within a matter of seconds, Misty was already holding Setsuko's body while nibbling gently against her ear. "mmm... takiyaki sempai ~<3" Her growling stomach only made more obvious the girl was hungry. But it wasn't until Janus intruded that Misty snapped off from this culinary fantasy of hers. "Eh?! Dark hair sempai!?" She exclaimed, releasing the poor president from her nibbling grasp as the brunette took a picture from her pocket and stared at it for a second, switching views between Janus and the picture. "It's you!" Misty quickly rushed at her while picking again on her backpack, but as she did, this time she took a small bag from it which was filled with countless of letters. "These are the love letters from class A1-A4. these are from B1-B4, C1-C4, D..." Before one could tell, Misty was already burying Janus with all the love letters addressed at her by various boys and girls from the school, apparently they even had a photo album about Janus which was popular at that time, selling various copies of the Misterious dark haired "twins" that seduced young hearts all over the campus. "And these are for your brother, Class A1-..." Yet another mountain of love letters towards Janus's "brother". "Oh I almost forgot, I was asked to give you this as well. She said you would understand...I really don't know what that means tho." Said Misty while handing her a ticket, a free entry to a Maid cafe not to far from the school. Soon, Lilith and Janus would continue, telling Misty to take the day off and get some food. "Waa!? Really? Thank you, Lilith Sensei, Dark Hair sempai." They didn't had to tell her twice and without further notice or any warning, Misty took Setsuko's wrist and dragged her along. "Oh, Setsuko sempai, let's it something good! What do you like? we have sushi nearby, ramen, Takoyaki..." Before she knew, she was already listing all the restaurants nearby as she was leading the poor president away from her superiors.
Setsuko barely had anytime to react to Misty. First she had dropped to the floor, then handed her a paper, there was something about a meeting and then suddenly having her ear nibbled. The shock and embarrassment sent a shiver through her and caused her to go red before Misty broke off with another burst of energy and as she was listing all the restaurants Setsuko manged to slip a few words in. "Erm... I'm not your sempai. I'm a year younger than you...." She whispered with a nervous smile. She had no idea how Misty would react to this information, given the speed she was going she might not even notice or the sudden stopping to process it might cause her to explode. Even so Setsuko was prepared to jump behind a desk just in case of detonation.
Lilith couldn't stop giggling as Janus was eventually covered in loveletters. Apparently those were still a thing... Who knew! In any event, it seemed like the two of them, Misty and Setsuiko, would have a fun night together. As soon as they were out of the room Janus emerged from the mountain of mail and stepped over to the MoS.
"You know what my favorite one is? Said the GoD smirking.
"Which one, hun?"
"This!" She brandished an invitation to maid cafe. She didn't have to read the energy on it, which was the same as the Astaroth pamphlet Lilith was holding, to know what if was about. It started out as a little crack, but before they knew it the room was flooded with laughter as the dams of their serious facades broke. A moment later, cold and quick as midnight lightning, the laughter stopped dead. The air seemed to struggle to find a way back in: their own vacuum of fear.
"Let's make this fun, Jan, what do you think?" A smirk from the GoD.
"Which kind of fun: Greece, the Inquisition, Rome--in its hay, of course, Persia?" Lilith tossed the pamphlet aside.
"It'll be on that level, but I want this one to have its own name; when the next one comes, we'll compare it to Kuoh!" Giggles sprang up like bubbles in Champagne, and from there the two started to plan...
Today seemed like a good enough day to hold a meeting. Orino was all accounted for. Well, the important ones. The old oak near the window tapped its overgrown branch on the door, a sign the school really didn't care about the Anime club, as the MoS stepped into the room.
"... JANUS."
"Hi." Said the GoD from behind a screen.
"What the balls!"
"Doors."
"Oh, yeah..." Lilith shook her head and grabbed some vintage couch. The room was so nice despite all the crappiness. It was, if I may, homey. If you let it, a room like this just wanted to give you a big fat hug and never let go, smothering you in nostalgia; homework wasn't even a problem in this ethereal plane of glue and ink.
"Hey, how'd that thing go?"
"The cafe? It was fine... A bit crowded, fans everywhere not shutting up about my greatness. Then of course there was my greatness, which is, like, ugh! Choking. All the time so much. And the girls, and the underage-ness, and the fanmail and--"
"SHUT UP!"
"Ow~!" Lilith had thrown an archaic cushion at the GoD, damn near breaking the poor demon's nose. "Sorry... Can I at least tell you what happened?"
"I wish you would."
"Kay! So there I was..." Janus proceeded to tell the whole story, making bad impressions and vulgar gestures for Zoey's pieces of dialogue.
This would be the way Melanie would find them when she entered. ... Wink.

Melanie Du Coteau Sacred Gear:Vritra's Tail: Devil's spine.
Stealthy, strong, long reach and flexible. The black dragon's tail was one of it's many deadly assets. The tail itself is a wonderful yet terrible weapon. You see, the tail feeds on the host's spine until it completely devours it and takes it place. This not only grants the bearer full use and potential of this gear, but if the tail breaks... well you may get an Idea of that would happen to your body.
It it said that the tail holds a personality of it's own, vicious and vindictive, it requires constant dotting and spoiling to keep it at bay. Legend tells Vritra made people squirm and screech their lifes out of their lungs to ease it's tail and lead it to a tranquil slumber.
Melanie would walk right after as the two of them were speaking of Janus's experience so far. The redhead minded her own business sitting by a near table before resting her elbows against it and finally the rest of her torso an face. To describe her in a single word, Melanie was most certainly absentminded today. Lately her dreams consisted of nightmares involving Setsuko. So, bringing her inside the manga club didn't put her on her best mood. Mostly because of Yuri's subtle influence on Melanie's current life perception. Exhausted because of the lack of sleep, she turned her face over to the side so she might spot Lilith and Janus while speaking. Making not a single sound as she thought it would be rude to interrupt both of them at the time.
Lilith and Janus faded out their talk as Melanie came in and watched her off and on while continuing at a lower volume. She looked so tired, but they didn't want to just call her out.
"So... Here we are."
"Yep... 'Cept Lamia."
"Psh, whore." But finally they turned to Melanie to include her.
"And how's it been going with you?" Janus furrowed her brows a little at Lilith for saying this. She wasn't that much of a kid. Lilith glanced to the GoD and gave her the "shut up" look. "... You look tired."

"I'm sorry..." Melanie replied briefly, trying to get up from her sit. "I couldn't sleep..." It was all she could tell, saying she had dreams about Setsuko turning her into her personal slave now sounded a little too embarrassing to share. "So... what am I needed for?... It's not like I'm called during business meetings often."
Lilith was silent for a moment, hearing the salinity of Melanie's words. Janus looked like she was getting ready to attack. A long, cold moment passed before finally Melanie's comment cracked the MoS' facade. Lilith couldn't stop laughing for what seemed like a full minute, and Janus found himself joining in.
"Haa~" Cooed the Succubus wiping a tear from her eye. "Thanks for that. I really needed a good laugh." But eventually things returned to business: the seller's entropy.
"You're right though," said Lilith with her normal business-like look, "we don't normally include the--how should I say this--less seasoned members of the organisation in our talks."
"In fact," chimed Janus, "this is the first meeting you've been to since you were turned. Setsuko was there, wasn't she?" Janus didn't really know what Melanie was thinking, and the comment should have been innocent enough, but would it?
"Right... Anyway, we heard, from Lamia, that you got your first contract last night! Why don't you tell us all about it?" Lilith was so proud... Of this part of Lamia's account of last night.

While it was unnerving to see both of them looking at her that way, she was too tired to even react. But thankfully she was relieved once they both broke unto laugher. "Good, then I guess I'm free to go now?" She really didn't appreciate being called less seasoned, but then again it served it's purpose, the fast this thing was over the more she could try to rest this day... if Melanie's nightmares didn't kicked in again that is. However all the confidence she had froze into an almost panic like reaction as soon as Lilith Mentioned Setsuko.
Images of the demoness holding some weird paper... smiling deviously at her before the lights went out and she felt suffocated by her presence, hearing her laugh behind her ear....
Melanie woke up from her little trauma as she scattered the room with her eyes, looking for her but so far, Setsuko was nowhere to be found. Which helped the succubus calm her already rushed heartbeat.
Turning over with a light glare at Lilith, she didn't found funny the mention of Setsuko either. But none the less, the MoS wished to know about this contract, then the sooner she tells her the better. This lack of sleep was taking the best from her, and she knew it.
And so, she proceeded to tell the whole story with Daniel.
Lilith nodded at what was new and watched Melanie go on with some effort. A succubus who was afraid to talk? That's just... Terrible. She'd be thinking of Setsuko for a moment in her own way, but this was worrying in a different way: billions of dollars worth of worry.
"I see... Well, don't worry, hun, we'll help you carry out this contract." She smirked a little. "I'm impressed. With a contract like this you won't have to worry about quota for quite a while." Here her face fell into severity again.
"... If you do it right, that is." Janus, who was watching quietly until now, started pacing back and forth in the dusty room, elbows thrown up over her head.
"Yeeessshhh~!" Lilith snapped at the GoD and a little giggle came out.
"... Seriously though. You've done good. Why don't you take a break for a while?" Lilith flashed two tickets to America to the Succubus in training. "Why not go on vacation for a while? We'll take care of the contract; you've done more than enough work to last you a while, so you might as well. You can take someone along if you want, though I wouldn't suggest Daniel... What do you say?"
