Rosemary nodded, "I can assure you that we will do everything in our power to uphold that trust."

Luciano loosened his tie, he nodded at Rosemary and her brother and he said, "Alright, then. . . That said," Luciano looked over at Pen and he said, "If you don't mind, Commander, take them to their rooms, please?"

Pen walked straight up and followed Luc like a silent statue. She nodded when it was appropriate and let the information sink in as they learned more about the newest additions to the gang. All the time she was trying to wrap around the idea that she was now the commander and Luc was the boss.
Wait Commander? Commander Huggins? Me. Second in command to Bro? Did I past out again and this some vivid dream like I usually get? I know this would eventually happen but this seems sudden.
She awoke from her trance and nodded to Luciano again. " Right then Boss, Bro." She was going have to think that one out later. "When you two are ready I'll show you up to the rooms."

Louie pushed off from the door and stood up straight. He gave Rosemary a node and she turned to give Pen another smile. "After you Miss Huggins."

Pen gave one last look at Luciano before giving her tired smile and nodding to Louie and Roesmary. She then walked out still moderately confused. She will have to go back to talk with Bro before the night ended. This all seemed rushed and she wanted to know why.

Luciano nodded at Pen, then once everyone cleared out of his office, he made his own way out and locked his door behind him for the night.
He then made his way downstairs, then walked into the kitchen to see Michelle reading her magazine and waiting for the water to boil. Luciano smiled and kissed the top of her head, "Making us tea?" Michelle looked up, smiled, then nodded, "Yessss, I am!" Luciano sat down next to her, "Hey, um, before we get some tea: No touching the Old Grey anymore, turns out it belongs to Skotti." He said. "I'll buy us some Mint tea, or something" "It's alright! I'll make us some White tea and Tangerine!" Luciano nodded, then kissed her cheek, "Thank you!" he rested his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes.

Rosemary and Louie followed Pen up the stairs to Louie's room first. Louie gave his sister a small smile and went inside, closing the door behind him. Rosemary gave Pen another smile and said, "Lovely building. Sorry to keep you from your rest like this, Miss Huggins. It's really all my fault we arrived so late in the evening. I have more clothes then I know what to do with." She gave a small chuckle, her eyes twinkling.

Pen smiled back as if that was she could manage at this point. To be honest her mind was somewhere else and didn't seem to worried about sleep.
"No its alright Rose, right? You just caught us coming back from a pre-wedding party so all of us are little tired." She rubbed the back of her head and began to start down the hall again to get to Rosemary's room.

"A wedding party? Oh well now I really feel like a heel!" She adjusted her glasses and relaxed her mouth out of the smile. "And it's Rosemary darling, but Rose works just fine. Its what Louie calls me anyway." They reached Rosemary's room and she gave Pen one last smile. "Well I wish you have a good nights rest and I look forward to meeting the others in the morning!"

"Oh don't worry about it, better you came now then after a mission. We would be even in worse condition then." Pen kept her tired smile as they walked, however still sounding wiped out.
"I'm sorry Rose, if you want you can call me Penelope." She gave a chuckle and then came to a halt at Rosemary's door. After Rosemary said her good nights, Pen nodded. "Good night Rose."
Pen then headed for her own room. Still puzzled by Luc's actions she decided to get some sleep before the wedding tomorrow. Commander?

During tea time, Luciano and Michelle sat quietly at the table. Luciano quietly stirred the tea then took a small sip and then let out a small 'Mmmm' because of the added sugar that Michelle graciously put in for him.
The silence was unnerving to Michelle, for she had to sit in silence almost all night, "Tesoro, why are you so quiet tonight? Usually you have plenty to say."
Luciano looked up, for a moment he was a little confused, usually she never calls him 'Darling' but Luciano responded, "Ci dispiace, amore," he smiled and then said, "Just today there isn't a lot to talk about." He took another sip of his tea then asked, "How about you? Talk to me?. . what did you and your parents talk about today?"
"Believe it or not,. . . nothing. . ."
"Nothing?. . . That's odd."
"Well, it gets stranger than that; My mother kept asking me when you and I are having kids."
". . Really?. . . Gramps was asking me the same thing, even though the man has a total of. . . God, I lost count- But anyway, Horatio was wondering when you and I were going to get married and have kids. ."
Michelle quietly stirred her coffee and replied, ". . . Think we should?" and smiled. Luciano continued to sit up straight in his chair. There was a long pause until Luciano coughed slightly and then drank his tea.

Waffle returned to her room with a blindfold and a folded metal cage, which clanked as she walked with it. Sabe could see clearly, but only enough to puzzle him; he still didn't know what it was. His attempts at seeing the situation more clearly began to fail as Waffle put the blindfold over his eyes. Sabe wriggled out of discomfort and whimpered the entire time. He couldn't see nor say anything, but he was forced to stay there as she toyed with him and cooed at him like a helpless worm.

Aly leaned back in her chair, glancing over her shoulder at the now sleeping screen of her computer. At her feet, was her golem Alcina, massaging her feet. Her thought drifted back to where she had been before her short work session, This afternoon should still be bothering me so much...but I was so stiff tonight. Nearly uncomfortable...I'm certain that if the others weren't so drunk or taken in they're attentions, they would have noticed. I probably would have been bombarded with question over my position and stiffness. Worse, I feel so...handicapped at this time.
Her eyes flicked down at her feet, where her golem expertly massaged her left foot. With a snort, she said, "I'm sure you never have to deal with this...and you probably never will. You're free in that respect."
Alcina glanced up for a second, halting in till it was clear her mistress hadn't told her to halt and thus she continued. I should push my self into these kind of environments. Gain experience...like I would gather data from an experiment. Go through it as many times as I can, in till I know all the possible outcomes.
Comforted with her decision, she ordered Alcina to massage her shoulders. Before waking her computer and reviewing all the notes and data the lab helpers had gathered on they're latest project.

(Time skip; quit complaining)
The lights in HQ went off one by one as the night went on, and almost everyone retreated back to their rooms. The next morning was fairly quiet.
Waffle woke up, saw the light filtering through the blinds, and put a pillow over her head while muttering something about mornings. She was feeling a little hung over from the previous night and everything caused her headaches at the moment. It wasn't too much later until she heard something banging against metal. "Shut up...." she groaned. The sound didn't quit, so she mustered up the will to get up and find the source of the noise. It led Waffle to the balcony, to the cage she put out there and forgot. Sabe woke up earlier, just recovering from the earlier trance he was in, to find himself locked, sore and forgotten. He was trembling and sweating as he made attempts to find the simple lock, and when he saw Waffle he babbled incoherently. She jumped back in surprise when she realized what happened and quickly undid the lock for him. Sabe busted out of the cage as soon as the door of it was cracked open. He didn't approach Waffle but instead looked at her for an answer.
"Uh....i-it was an accident Sabe, I swear...I d-didn't mean to leave you out here." she confessed, hoping to salvage the situation. She pleaded for forgiveness, but Sabe looked at her, dumbfounded, then slowly shook his head as he darted back into the room. He tripped, but picked himself right back up and went into the bathroom to calm himself down and maybe sneak a shower in before they had to get ready for the rest of the day. What disturbed him more than anything was the possibility that this might become the norm; Waffle on the other hand was now neck-high in regret and dreading what should have been a good day for her all because of a mistake she made.

The morning's light streamed in through the glass front of The Phantom Pavilion art shop. The various samples of artwork got a fresh illuminated look in the current lighting and the occasional early-morning shopper stopped to look in. A motorcycle's engine roared up then quieted as Foxi pulled up to open the shop. The first place she had decided to go to for frozen yogurt was closed so she ended up going further out of her way than usual. By the time she finished her cup, it was so late that the thought of sleep was too enticing to ignore. It wasn't until the alarm went off that her heart dropped into her stomach. She fumbled for her keys and unlocked the door, let it slam behind her, then ran behind the counter and unlocked the door to the workroom. Koji was curled up on a pile newsprint with his scarf bundled up as a pillow and his jacket laid over him as a blanket. After waiting a few seconds and whispering at him to be sure he was still sleeping, she backed out of the room and called a restaurant for some breakfast she could pick-up.
"He's going to be so pissed.. maybe pancakes will stifle his ranting.."
