Welcome to Gaia! ::

Silver did the oddest thing. He quickly dropped to the ground as if he had been knocked over. Going into a backwards tumble, he dodged Reikos punch. He landed in a kneeling position, ready for Reiko's next move.

Discretly, he began to focus energy into his right hand.

((and Reiko... sorry I took so long to post. sweatdrop ))

Silver clenched his hands into fists. Putting them together, he pulled them apart. In each hand was a blade of burning green energy, that flickered slightly in the wind. Standing with his left side facing Reiko, he stood ready to attack Reiko.

Mystic Blade: Duo...

Victor was no stranger to politics, and he knew very well that the both of them were choosing their words carefully, or at the very least he was. While the guest before him was indeed a very grand benefactor on his part, Victor remained wary of his intentions.

but likes with most other people under his employ: he knew they were using him to some degree, but as long as he got some use out of them as well, all was well.

"Suit yourself then." Victor let a finger play out over the desk, apparently pressing something; for only moments later did a sharply dressed female enter, carrying a tray with two glasses of water, placing it down atop the table, and giving the man seated in front of Victor a cusory glance, before exiting just as quietly.

"I've sent someone to track him down... Unless you have something else in mind? You never did tell me what you wanted with the boy bearing the markings of the sun."

If it rains, i'm so out of here... Meryl thought to herself as she sat aloft a ledge, looking over a small alleyway with some shady characters lurking within.

Tonight wasn't a skull-cracking night - tonight was recon. If Meryl went out every single day and night and slapped people around, she'd get tired very easily. So sometimes she took a little while to get to know the criminal underworld - and that meant observation.

She was happily watching the three men and their mules divviying up the cash of their last score - noting who got the most, as he was the leader - when her phone suddenly rang, the vibration making her armour rattle a little.

She growled at this. She should have thought of that before. Stealth was the name of the game - if she was sneaking up on someone and her armour made noise, stealth goes bye-bye.

Pulling the phone from it's pouch, she sat back on the ledge, wrapping her cloak around her to get a little warmer as she keyed the reply button. "Hello?"

"So thats your name, huh? It's pretty. Got anywhere specific you'd like to go, or would you just like to meet me at my hotel?" Meryl asked as she stood. She needed a break anyways - the little 'holiday' she'd had had put her in a lazy mood. A few drinks and some socilising wouldn't be that bad - besides, this girl just might come in handy someday...

She leapt from her ledge, the WireDagger on her left hand doing it's thing and swinging her around the building and through the air, flying right over Adele and down the road, the 'whup-shik' of the mechanism deafened by the sound of the wind as Meryl swung.

"I'm in transit right now - where are you at the moment?"

Meryl chuckled under her breath as she quietly landed on the balcony of her hotel room, the wire of the WireDagger retracting into the mechanism with a 'shik' as she opened the sliding glass door and walked into her room.

"You're a ten minute walk from my hotel. Simply walk up to the man in the square, face the library, and look down the right-hand street - you'll see a big white hotel with a cresent moon on the top." She said as she undid the clasp of her cloak, the flowing garment hitting the floor as she continued to undo the straps of her armour, letting them fall noiselessly to the bed as she made her way to the bathroom.

"Just go to the counter and ask for Meryl Tomorrow, and they'll let you up. See ya in fifteen!" She said with a grin in her voice before shutting her phone and peeling off her suit, tossing it into the clothes-basket as she walked into the shower. She didn't want to be smelling of grease and leather when the girl got here.

Meryl had just finished putting the last piece of her armour away before looking up. The motion sensor she'd placed on the door had beeped once - meaning someone had stood in front of it for more then seven seconds without opening or knocking.

Adele had sounded nervous on the phone - judging by the way she had acted and spoken in the cab, Meryl guessed she didn't get out much.

So wearing a towel would be appropriate.

Walking naked to the bathroom, she wrapped her towel around her chest, her blond locks still dripping slightly as she took another and began to rub it. Her armour, weapons and cloak had all been shoved under the bed or placed in a closet - the only thing showing that she was in was the ruffled sheets, the unfinished burger she'd had for lunch sitting on the bedside table, and the balcony door left wide open, the cool air brisk within the warm room.

Still rubbing her hair gently, Meryl walked up to the door and opened it, smiling at the woman on the other side. "Hi there! Sorry about this, i literally just flew in through the door - come on in, i wont be a moment."

Gesturing for Adele to come in, Meryl walked over to the closet, opening it with her free hand whilst still idly rubbing her hair dry with her other towel. Her smooth long legs crossed themselves as she looked at the clothes hung up, her left toes curling slightly as she thought about what to wear - before stealing a small glance at Adele as she walked in. Noting the formal attire, she decided something like that would be nice, and pulled out a grey business suit.
