"Well, first we are going to do what humans normaly do when they move to a new place. And that is," she paused dramiatically "Get a job. By doing this we will seem more normal, and we can milk our co-workers for information. Then, when we have enough, we can move to another city, and do it again. If you use persuasion powers, we shoouldn't be in any one city for more than... oh, a month at most." Lilia began to walk very quickly ahead, anticipating that the living volcano known as Blaze would erupt soon.
Osiris sat on his throne, idly causing air patturns to form through the room, making it cooler or warmer, as he desired. Dracula would be coming to see him soon about Lilia and Blaze. So he had seen. Whether or not he would go to the Above World was yet to be seen.

"A JOB!? MONTHS!? HELL NO!" Blaze exclaimed and several people looked at him curiously. Blaze jumped alittle and walked up to Lilia, making her slow down by putting a hand on her shoulder.
"I DO NOT want to stay here that long." He hissed. "We don't even know what Erinshin looks like as a human! It could take YEARS and I'm NOT staying here for the rest of my life!"
Dracula came into the council room and slammed his papers down on the table infront of his throne.
"Lilia and Blaze went to the above world." He said, even though Osiris probably allready knew.
"They LEFT without anyone knowing.....When those two get back..."
"You'll punish them?" Came the calm, song like voice of Demeter who had just entered the room. "Dracula, dear, they aren't children."
"Demeter, those two need to learn they can't make such rash descisions. I"m going to the Above world to drag them both back by their fingernails!" He started for the door but Demeter grabbed his arm gently.
"Give them some time. Let's see what they're up too." She said. "We are perfectly capable of keeping things under control while they are gone, no? After all, we ARE more experienced. You'll just have to work alittle harder." Demeter gave her perfect small smile and Dracula knew he was defeated.
"I'll give them three months." He said. "If things aren't moving along at all, I'm going up there and bringing them back. Sound good?" Dracula stared at Osiris, waiting for his approval.

Lilia froze at the feel of Blaze's hand on her shoulder. His hand made her flesh heat up even though the clothes. She looked at him. "But you've forgotten one very importaint thing, Blaze. We are immortal. We will find Eirshin. He can't hide forever," She smiled grimly as she fingered the amulet around her neck. She looked up and saw a "Help Wanted' sign on a fast food place. "Look, see? We'll be done here in no time at all."
Osiris looked at Dracula--
And he saw him standing in front of a burning building, holding a body in he arms. He was covered in blood... but his face was clean becasue of the tears streaking down his agonized face. He was saying something over and over, but Osiris couldn't understand what he was saying. He looked to the side and there was Blaze, and he also had tears in his eyes... but they were tears of rage and hate and fury. Lilia was trying to calm down a boy who was desperatly trying to get at the body in Dracula's arms, and he was screaming. They were also crying.
Osiris sighed, slumping in his throne a bit. "In three months time, you will be weeping tears of agony along with Blaze and Lilia."

Blaze tilted his head. "So how do we even GET a job? I've never been interested in human affairs so I never studied about them..."
Dracula looked mildly suprised but he quickly regained himself.
"I cannot worry unless I know why, Osiris." He said, sounding slightly defiant. He didn't mean too, after all Osiris was one of the few true oricles. His predictions always came true.

Lilia stopped outside the entrance and turned to Blaze. "Well, basically, we go in, ask for a job, they give us some paperwork to fill out, we give them fake answers, and then... hopefully, we get hired. And paid. I'm pretty sure that they'll give you the basic training on how to do all the stuff in there. Just, you know, act friendly towards your co-workers and try not to ask really wierd or obvious questions," She turned back to the entrance.
Osiris yawned, "Well, you could always try to change the prediction. After all, nothing is set in stone."

Blaze rolled his eyes and placed his hand behind his head.
"Oh yeah...Becuase that will be SOOO easy." He said. He glanced around and noticed people were staring at them. They had to look pretty strange just standing there.
"Well no time to waste! Let's get this over with..." He said, ushering Lilia inside. Blaze normally liked attention but not when it was coming from humans.
Dracula frowned slightly.
"Yeah, big help. Thanks Osiris." He said. Demeter giggled.
"You should know better Dracula. Anyways, I don't think there's much we can do tonight. If anyone needs me I'll be in the courtyard." She waved and walked off. Dracula sighed.

Lilia was rather surprised to have Blaze of all people pushing her in the human place. When she looked up she saw two similar-looking humans staring at the two of them. The boy took a long slurp of the beverage he was holding in his hand. The girl looked at them.
"Erm... Can I help you?" she asked.
"Yes," Lilia said. "We saw the sign on the window, and we would like to take the jobs."
"Ahhh..." the boy leaned closer to the girl, and said in a voice that would not have been heard by human ears "We got some weeiiirrrdddooosss..." The girl smacked him. "Yes, well..." She came out from behind the counter and handed them some papers. "Just fill these out, and you will hve sold your soul to Wendy's."
Osiris rolled his eyes. "For goddness sakes, Dracula, it should be obvious. The reason so many predictions come true os because people don't try to change them, or don't try the right way." He smiled lazily at Demeter. "Oh, and if you see Isis, give her my love."

Blaze scowled as he heard what the boy said but he shook it off with the thought of, If only he knew... He turned to the girl and decided since he was here he might as well have some fun. He smiled kindly at the girl and took the papers she handed him.
"Thank you." He said to her flirtatiously and sat down at a nearby table, casting a mischievious smile at Lilia.
"If only I knew how to do that." Dracula said and sat down to finish his paperwork. Demeter stopped when she heard Isis' name and frowned but turned around to Osiris with a smile.
"Of course." She said and continued to walk.
Why does he tuant me so? She wondered. Everyone knows I want a family...I want someone to love me... She shook her head. She had to focus on the tasks at hand. As she walked into the courtyard sunlight somehow poured in overhead. Demeter let out a low trill and two beautiful birds appeared, landing on her arm and shoulder.
"Hello my sweets." She said stroking their feathers.
"Any news?"

Lilia froze, and tried to decide whether to keep her sights on Blaze or on the girl. If she thought for one second that she would be able to put her hands anywhere near-! Wait, why was she thinking this? Blaze ment nothing to her! At all! He was just some annoying fire imp! So why does it bother you so much? aske the highly irritating voice in her head. The girl smiled back at Blaze mischevously.
"Welcome," she said, with a wink. "First time working at such a," she motioned sarcasticly at their surroundings "high class place? I'm Jenny, by the way. Just for future reference."
The boy rolled his eyes and sighed.
Osiris grinned at Demeter's retreating back. If she wanted a family, all she had to do was practically snap her fingers. Osiris daily had revelations of her future husband whenever she came into the room - though the 'husband' in question often changed every few hours. The problem was not that there was not someone out there, but that she hadn't yet, and perhaps never would, find him. But there was no harm in... moving things along for her. He turned to Dracula with a lazy smile.
"So, Drac, is there by any chance a Mrs. Drac? On the horizon or anywhere else?"

"Nice to meet you Jenny. People just call me Blaze." Blaze replied and scribbled a few answers down on the paper. Then he reached a question that stumped him.
Special skills? He read and thought, I bet it would be a bad Idea to put "fire magic" Let's see.... He scribbled down, "Good at working with my hands." This was true enough.
"I must appologize before hand." He said. "This is...my first job. I don't have much experience." He managed an embarraseed smile with ease. "If I get the job, would you mind helping me out some?" He smiled at Jenny and moved his annoying bangs out of his face.
Dracula's pale face turned slightly pink but he didn't look too bothered by the question. "I don't think so, Osiris." He said as he moved on to another sheet of paper. This one was a complaint that a werewolf had terrorised a sprite family's home. Dracula scratched his head and sighed.
"I just never thought about it. There's work to do and then there's always been keeping Blaze and Lilia from killing each other just with thier glares. Why do you ask?"

"I'll do my best to show you the ropes," said Jenny in a friendly way. SHe picked up the papers that Blaze handed back to her. Quickly scaning the paper for anything interesting, she looked towards the bottom and saw- She almost fell out of her chair laughing. She glanced quickly between Lilia and Blaze. She didn't know if the guy was trying ot make his girlfriend jelouse or something, but it sure was fun.
"So... Blaze... what kind of things can you do with your... hands?"
Jason choked while drinking. "Jenny!"
Jenny smiled sweetly at him. "Yes, Jason?" He motioned nervously to Lilia. She looked like she was about to kill something, and that something was Jenny.
Osiris blinked. The man was older than him even, and he was a raving lunatic! Was it not painfully obvious why?! He turned in his throne. "Oh, no reason," he said, beginning to make air currents again. Forget Dracula and Demeter. He was too thick to see anything. He'd have to find some different people for them. Osiris smiled. He loved playing matchmaker.

Blaze chuckled, but he was confused as to why Lilia looked so...murderous.
"Well, I'll let your imagination cover that answer." Blaze said and looked over the counter in the back. One machine was cooking....what looked like meat and the others hissed and crackled with the sound Blaze instantly reckognised as burning oil. He turned to Jenny.
"I actually put that becuase...I can cook." Blaze said though he never mentioned HOW he cooked. "If you need one, I'm fine with working in really hot environments. It actually doesn't bother me one bit." He smiled.
Dracula knew perfectly well what Osiris was asking, but playing dumb ended the conversation early. He had no intrest in Demeter, atleast not one that could carry to an intimate level. He finished his paperwork and leaned back letting himself feel relaxed in the changing currents.
"Osiris, if you're think what I think you thinking then good luck." He said then gathered his papers and left down a brightly lit hallway for a meeting with the generals of his army.

Jenny chuckled. "I have no doubt that you can, Blaze. Absolutly no doubt at all." She turned and smiled sweetly at Lilia. "And what can I call you?"
Lilia gave her a glare that would have made all of Antartica dry ice. "YOu can call me... Lily," she said, practically choking.
And then she had a brilliant idea.
Giving a very flirtacious smile at Jason, she asked in a beatuifully angelic voice, "And your name is... Jason, right?"
Jason's face turned beet red and he slurped up the rest of his coke in one huge slurp. "U-u-ummm... Yes. Jason. I work here," he said. THen he slapped his face mentally. You... idiot. Why do you always do that when a gorgeous girl talks to you?!
Osiris rolled his eyes and slummped deeper into his throne. "Oh, you've go that right, Drac. You most certainly have that right." And then he got a very mischevious smile on his face. "But I assure you, I am up to the challange." He got up, and began to dance around the room. "Oooh, I haven't had this much fun since I took out Ferdinand and started World War I!!"

Blaze lips twictched slightly. What was Lilia thinking!? Wait...so she was playing his game. Big deal....right? His face had the expression that it didn't bother him.
Instead he looked around the restraunt then back at Jenny and Jason.
"Are you two twins?" He asked.
"Blaze's army is in uproar." A werewolf said. "They know their leader is gone and it's throwing them into dissorder."
"The whole lot of them have to be put under control." Anpther demon said.
"In three months time think of the damage they could do."
"But there's not much we can do." Dracula said.
"Surely there's something?" The werewolf asked.
Dracula fell silent as he began to think.

Jenny smiled and nodded. "Yep. First there was Jason, then there was me."
"Not that I ever get the chance to act like I'm the oldest," muttered Jason, giving Jenny an evil glare.
Osiris whistled as he walked down the corridors from the throne room. He gave a grin. He had forseen that in a few days, Dracula, possibly Dememter too, would be going ot the Aboveworld, leaving the entire council in his... tender care. Not that he planned on doing anything wrong, of course. But he had a few nice plans up his sleeve that, if they all worked out, would effectivly immobilize the entire Rebellion... Of course, then Osirsi would have to go back to making hurricans again for intertainment... Oh, well.
