{ - Kendal & Red - }
Kendal smirks faintly at the 'howling' comment. Given the newcommer's ears and tail, she was guessing that 'puppy' was a good way to describe her. She opens her mouth to comment, but finds herself suddenly distracted as the display panel near the door suddenly lights up.
"I think he's awake," she tells the group. "Damn it, I was hoping he'd be out until the Mistress could get down here. Red, could you handle this? I need to alert those upstairs."
Red was in the middle of rolling her eyes at the punny joke from Freya when she also noticed the panel spring to life. "Sure.." she tells Kendal, glancing at Slade and Freya. "You two can come with me, but only on the condition that you do exactly as I say, got it?"

Freya
Freya looks over at the display panel, her inner child pining for a chance to break this man.
Freya has never been one for conformity, but this was one time where she had to start listening to other people. She nods to Nirvana and then looks to Slade, "So...what did they do to you that makes you want them dead so badly?"

SLADE
I listen to the women discuss the current fate of the prisoner. Damn it. I think to myself, mild frustration building. They don't understand. I shake my head to Freya, knowing we don't have time for idle questions right now.
"No, Red. There is more to it than that." I try to explain as cooperatively as possible, knowing that if I piss off the firecracker she will never listen. "The big tent isn't up yet. This guy has to be a scout. They do this. They send out tendrils to comb the city, observe the local authorities, identify easy targets, and discover potential candidates for the circus bringing back. If he is here, that means there are more. They could even be in the club right now. He got himself caught because he tried to con one of their finest, but others won't be that stupid. Hell, if I hadn't have ran into Freya here at the hotel, I would even be inclined to suspect her."
I growl to myself internally. God I could use a smoke.

{ Kendal & Red }
Both Kendal and Nirvana pause as Slade dives into his rambling monologue. "Wait.." Kendal asks, confused. "So how do you know you can trust Freya then? I mean, what if she was just scouting out the hotel?"
Nirvana on the other hand, was no longer listening. Her eyes had risen to the ceiling, her thoughts already retreating to the memories of the night so far. Had she noticed anyone else? What would she be looking for? Crossing her arms against her chest, she looks to the black paneling of the cell door. He was a freak.. yeah, so what? Even in his exotic appearance, or perhaps because of his exotic appearance, he had blended right into the jovial and eccentric atmosphere of the club above them. Slade had a point.. it could be anyone.
"Doesn't that just make it more imparative that we talk to this guy?" Red asks. "I mean, it's not like we can just pick them out of the crowd. Freya, did you pick up on this guy before he hit the floor?"

Freya
Freya had not counted on this, though she was no stranger to it. Her affliction had caused her to be the object of suspicion many times in the past. She maintains her composure and shakes her head at Nirvana's question.
"I'm sorry but I didn't. Even if I hadn't been pupped by my hunger, the horrendous combination of smells on the floor make it difficult to pick out anyone. I was only able to sniff out Slade because we ran into him on the top floor where there aren't so many people. Okami could differentiate, but unfortunately I can't, not as I am now."

SLADE
"The circus isn't some two bit parade of manipulators and murderers." I tell them, my tone dead serious. "They have a system. Creatures who exist with the carnival are as much prisoners as they are criminals. The powers of the circus bind them to submission. Even the most willing members must abide by their rules. First rule I figured out, carnival members must return to circus grounds before sunrise. That is how I know Freya isn't one of them. It was before nightfall that I ran into her at the hotel. She's clean."
My gaze joins Nirvana's to stare at the black paneled door. "This guy is going to be in a world of hurt come sunrise. There will be some kind of incessant need for him to get back to the carnival. And when he doesn't make it back, they'll know he's missing. Now, if they know where he was supposed to be when he disappeared, we won't be able to tell. But you can be sure they are going to send some people out to look for him."

Freya
"Maybe that will be all the torture he needs. I've seen that kind of curse before. They become absolutely manic. In fact, whoever is interrogating this guy could be in a world of s**t if they're not careful. We don't know what he can do."
Freya thinks for a moment and looks up at Nirvana, "Hey Red, you said that if I were to transform while in the club that I would alert security. What if I were to do so down here, then return upstairs to see if there are any more of these circus freaks up there?"
She catches herself and explains more, "It wouldn't be a full transformation, just enough to allow me more control over my senses. Although I am going to get a bit more wolfie in appearance, I'll still have control of myself."

{ Kendal & Red }
"Look guys, I don't care what the f--k you do, but I need to get upstairs and tell the Mistress what the hell is going on... especially if there could be more of these creeps prowling around the club." Kendal informs them, slightly exasperated.
Nirvana turns her attention to Freya. "Well, I don't know if you will actually be able to sniff them out or not, but it's worth a shot." Addressing them all, the wheels in Nirvana's mind begin to churn. "What if we let wolfie out, and I take her upstairs like she's one of the performers? You know, I could like, put her on a leash, maybe dress up a bit, and we could wander around interacting with partons? That kind of stuff happens in the club all of the time."
Kendal nods faintly. "It could work," she replies positively. ".. and Slade could stay down here and keep an eye on Mr Blue."
Nirvana glances to Freya. "What do you think? Could you keep it under enough control that we could pull it off?"

Freya
Okami
Freya grins and gives Nirvana a thumbs up, "Leave it to us. With both of us up there, we'll find those bastards."
With that Freya bites into both of her thumbs, letting a little blood. She uses the blood to write the kanji symbols for shadow and wolf on the opposite palms. She takes a few steps away from the others and makes 5 elaborate hand signs, then kneels, slamming both of her palms on the floor into her own shadow.
Her shadow slides out from underneath her and begins to quiver, then bulging out and growing, taking shape. It grows slightly larger than Freya is, the blob of shadow then shakes itself like a dog trying to get dry, the bits of shadow falling back on the ground and returning to Freya. Freya stands, but has to catch herself on the wall, suddenly finding herself dizzy. A look of surprise stamps itself on her face, as though she wasn't expecting that to happen.
Okami rears back on her haunches and stretches, her canine mouth gaping with a yawn. She licks her chops and stands. She's completely naked, her fur entirely black. Though she seems to keep Freya's human hair on her head. She opens her golden eyes and looks around, she spots Freya behind her and blinks, "Freya-kun, what's wrong?
Freya bares her teeth and looks at her counter part with annoyance, "How many times do I have to explain this to you. You tag -kun at the end of a boy you are familiar with. If you want to use an honorific with me, you call me -san."
Okami's lips peel back into an impish smile, "I'm sorry, you act so much like a boy I get confused easily." She turns back around to the new group of strange people, though one catches her attention in particular. She squeals and holds her arms open to Kendal, "KITTY!"
Before Okami is able to take one step Freya jumps on her back and tackles her to the ground, "No no! As much as I'd like to see that we have other things to do. You're going to come with me and the nice spider lady with the red hair and try to find some bad people, okay?" With that she gets off of her back.
Okami stands up, she approaches Nirvana and sniffs her. She looks a hesitant at first, maybe even a little afraid, then she smiles and wraps Red up in a bear hug giving her a big lick. "If Freya-kun trusts Kumo-chan, then so do I."

«<{ Selene }>»". . . I would like, just for a moment, to bring it to your attention... that with a single gesture, I could rather painfully extract every. Single. Hair. From your body. While at the same time seizing your tongue and quite unrelentingly ripping it from your skull," a distinctly cold soprano said from further down the hallway, the words spoken with such a tangible threat that one could almost imagine the temperature of the air dropping to a few degrees shy of freezing. "All with my mind... which means you are already in reach."
The words were issued from a woman rounding the corner and stalking slowly into the hallway, her attire of no particular fashion, beyond being an uncommon combination of some kind of flowing dress and robes, in an unrelieved matte black colour. The woman herself, other than the tumbling cascade of ebon hair, the pale, almost elfin-angular features, was similarly unremarkable on first glance... except that she moved like a finely-honed weapon... and her eyes were visibly shifting from some dark colour to a yellowish-gold that seemed to gather the light in... and reflect it with some sort of unholy, sickly inner energy. "Now, as I've been so kind as to focus your attention... I would suggest you do something substantially more intelligent than lick my lover... before you actually come into the range of my hands, you ******** furry."

Freya
Okami
In Freya's weakened state she doesn't have time to react before Okami snaps a vice like grip on Red. She starts frantically tugging on Okami's arms futily, "Damnit, stop that. These people don't like puppy love!" Freya's ears perk up as the new woman comes strolling down the hall. She looks to her, a look of realization in her eyes.
Okami's ears also perk.Though in direct contrast to Freya, as the woman rattles off her threat her ears begin to fold down, her tail between her legs. At the word furry she lets go of Nirvana and hops behind Freya, laying her hands on her shoulders and peeking over the left one."Freya-kun, this new girl is scary."
Freya glances over her shoulder at Okami and flicks her in the nose. The wolf yelps and starts rubbing her nose, at the same time Freya's nose seems to gain a small red tint to it. She looks back at the new woman apologetically, "Sorry about that, she didn't mean anything by it. She likes to hug new friends."

{ - Nirvana - }
Nirvana tried not to smirk over the thought of Kendal being glomped by the wolf girl, but she gave in as Freya tackled Okami to the ground. Shaking her head faintly at the two of them, she starts to turn in Slade's direction when she realises she's being sniffed. Her senses flare faintly as she watches Okami's eyes light up with a playful glow.
Aww shyt..
Predictably, Red finds herself being squeezed by the incredibly tall, fuzzy one. She was just about to decide to let the hug slide when suddenly she feels the canine lick her. Coiling back in repulsion, Red pushes the girl off of her, at the same time hearing her sister's voice ring out from the other end of the hallway. She feels the furry leave her willingly, and rather hurriedly in fact, and she uses her sleeve to wipe at her violated skin.
"Freya.." She growls softly as she moves to intersect her sister. "That is a good way for wolfie to lose a tongue.."
Meeting up with her sister halfway, Nirvana's hands reach out, fingers sliding into Selene's ebon locks. Pulling her face within a breaths length of her own, Nirvana stares into those glowing yellow eyes for a moment, drawing in the energies radiating there, tasting the intensity before pressing her lips fiercely against her lovers'.

Freya
Okami
Freya watches as Nirvana approaches the new woman, and smiled when she did exactly what she was expecting Red to do.
Okami wiggled her nose a bit and peek over Freya's shoulder again, "Why are those two girls kissing?"
Freya's ears peek on end as she spins around and clamps her hands around Okami's muzzle, whispering to her counterpart, "You will shut your goofy mouth and listen to me. I need your nose to find the people that took Julia. You are going to do exactly what Nirvana..." Freya notices that Okami's right ear tweaks to one side in confusion, "Kumo-chan...and I tell you. This is very very very important, I need you to behave yourself. Little hugs are okay, but only when I tell you. Under no circumstances are you to lick anyone here. If you lose your tongue, I lose my tongue. I like talking way too much. Do you understand?"
Okami nods up and down. Freya releases her mouth. When Freya turns her back, Okami sticks her tongue out at her, making faces.

«<{ Selene }>»Selene knew most of her faults, and, for the most part, was perfectly in accordance with most of them. Being a possessive lover was one of those many faults... which meant seeing some naked furry straight out of some bad anime touching her sister... suffice it to say when Nirvana diverted her attention so thoroughly, the emotions roaring through her were those of a killing rage. A rage strong enough that she almost resisted her sister's actions...
But Nirvana was one of very few people that could actually divert Selene's emotions and decisions. So after the initial flare of defiant resistance, her thin form molded itself to Nirvana's, returning the kiss with every bit as much fiery intensity... though as the kiss ended, Nirvana did find one of her lips marked by a n** sharp enough to draw blood... a subtle warning that Selene did not entirely appreciate being diverted from adding a fur rug to the interior of their ship.
Instead, those slanted eyes slowly shifted their gaze back to the furry and it's owner, the unhealthy yellow colour and gleam fading, leaving the irises a vivid marbling of ebony and gold... a sign that her anger was slowly being reigned in. Watching the dog make faces at the little wolf-girl-thing, a single brow arched faintly, and that dark soprano emerged once more, still cold, but without the full extend of murderous intent to it. "Obviously the furry isn't exactly the brightest bulb in the chandelier, if it's so eager to go waving about the tongue that it just about lost. The question then becomes... does the furry belong to itself, and thus is able to be the target of it's own misadventures? Or is it a pet, and it is the owner we should be looking to for... shall we say... reconciliation of wrong-doings?"

Freya
Okami
Freya puts up her hands in a "we're not dangerous" fashion. "No need for hostilities now. Like I said she didn't mean anything by it, and I promise she's not trying to horn in on your territory. She's just overly friendly and stupid as hell."
Okami peeks over Freya's shoulder again, "And I'm not a pet. I live in her head when there isn't a dark moon. She made me come here so I could help find the people that took our friend. She doesn't own me."
Freya turns her head over her shoulder, "Tough talk coming from the six foot toothy thing hiding behind me."
She turns her head back toward Nirvana and the new girl, "I'm sorry that happened. Summoning her took a lot more out of me then it normally does. I knew she would try to pounce Kendal, but I didn't think she'd greet you like that."
