A normal street with a selection of shops to choose from aswell as cafes and even a small bar
Posted: Tue May 10, 2016 6:46 pm
Waiting, watching, analysing. Sagen was perched on the rooftop of a coffee shop he had bought a bottle of water from a few moments ago. He watched the normal people go about their daily lives, oblivious to what was going to happen in the near future. The man looked up for a brief moment and scowled at the sun. He hated hot weather, well he hated anything warm or hot full stop. His hideout was in the coldest cave he could find and was literally covered in ice created using dust just to bring the temperature down even more so. Ever since he had...attained his powers he had got use to living and even sleeping in the cold. It was more comforting than the warm sun.
Sagen was perched on the rooftop because he was waiting to meet with one of his fellow maidens. And to maybe cause some damage if he felt like it. He would not even need to expose his powers, he was strong without them. He sighed as he kept on waiting. Hoping his associate would turn up soon so the discussion could take place.
Macha climbed up to the roof of the coffee shop and flopped down with a whine as if she were tired. She wasn't, really, as she had more than enough strength and endurance for such a task but it was the gesture that counted in her opinion. Why she had been told to come here for a meeting she didn't know and climbing onto rooftops generally was on her list of things that were not fun to do unless you had a good reason.
After pouting and sitting for a few moments she got up abruptly, walking over to Sagen and leaning against his side. "This is stupid. Why are we meeting up here? I thought this was going to be fun but you have me climbing buildings like some...I don't know, who climbs buildings? Repairmen? It's stupid and not fun," she complained, "I hate working with stupid people so you better shape up or I'm leaving."
She was only moderately afraid of these people she was meant to work with. On the one hand, they were much more powerful than she was. On the other...well, her self-preservation was a bit skewed most days. It was one of the reasons she had scared and intimidated those she worked with in White Fang. If it was fun it was worth doing whether she lived through it or not. So, currently annoying the only person there about how unhappy she was seemed like a good idea until bothering him was no longer fun.
Walking silently down the street, Annabel would gauge the looks that she was getting. She was more than accustomed to getting looks of envy, lust, jealousy... But she could feel eyes on her that held none of these emotions. With a silent sigh, she would flare up her power for a brief moment, weak enough to make it unnoticeable for anyone around her, but strong enough to signal to her fellow maidens that she had arrived. Feeling the general direction of the oldest maiden's, Sangen's, strength, she would make her way down the market's streets, looking for the shop that she was told about.
Her search would bear fruit in little time as she found the establishment. It was adequately busy, if not pitifully basic. At the corner of her eye, she would spot a young woman make her way into the alley next to the shop. A sight that would normally be ignored by her, but she would sense the woman's intent. 'Sangen isn't the one to take on pets... I wonder...' Annabel would think to herself, following the woman into the alley from a distance. As she turned into the alley, she would spot the woman once more, but this time, bounding onto the roof of the establishment. Confirming that Sangen was indeed there, she would check over her shoulder to make sure no one was around before snapping her fingers once, using her maiden powers to float up to the roof of the shop.
Stepping on the uneven tiles of the roof, she would take in the sight before her, studying the two with a critical eye. "Well then... You call upon us to this quaint little place, and then you have us converge on what is, perhaps, the most filthy area it possibly has. Truly your years of solitude has done nothing for your manners dearest elder." Annabel would state coolly, keeping her eyes on the large gentleman. There was something about him that made her wary, something she did not appreciate whatsoever. Her arms would cross each other gently as she stood in a relaxed posture.
She knew that there was no threat of attack from Sangen, he needed her in order to bring about this 'new world order' that he had in mind, and she needed him to find more entertaining toys to break, and perhaps a few to keep on hand. She would look to the woman beside him and raise an inquisitive eyebrow. "And for you to invite one who isn't of our... pedigree..." She would say with a tone of mixed disappointment and disapproval. "This isn't like you at all. Perhaps you've finally seen what I have been telling you is true all along; we need pawns to play this game of yours properly... Something I can easily gather together." She finished with a small, dark smile.

════════════════════════════════════xx━╃☪╄━xx════════════════════════════════════ A young man would turn onto the street and sigh. His mood was less then pleasent as he had been called out of hiding by a fellow maiden who had somehow guessed his hideout. He hated how he had to even be outside in the day where he would have to disguise himself with an illusion. The night had always been his friend but for now he would play with the pieces he had been given.
He would walk out further down the street and watch as people gave him an uneasy look as he passed by. The people knew something was about to happen, but they had no idea he was apart of it. Soon he would reach the coffee shop and approached the Stewart of the establishment and ask about was there a table of five set for him and his associates. The man shook his head but nodded upwards as an indication of where the meeting spot had been.
Walking around back he noticed the fire escape ladder had been left down for him and he began to climb. As he reached the top he dispelled his illusion and revealed himself with a phrase from his favorite poem, the Epitaph of Twilight. "Unknown where the Cursed Wave was born… After the stars doth cross the heavens, The sky in the East doth darken and air doth fill with mourning. From the chosen land beyond the forest, a sign of the wave comes. Riding the wake is Skeith, the Shadow of Death, to drown all that stands. Mirage of Deceit, Innis, Betray all with the flawed image, and did aid the Wave. And by the Power of Magus, a drop from the Wave doth reach the heavens, and creates a new Wave. With the Wave, Fidchell, the power to tell the dark future, hope darkens, sadness and despair rule. Gorre schemes when swallowed by the Cursed Wave. Macha seduces with the sweet trap. Wave reaches the Pinnacle, and escape none can. Tarvos still remains with more cruelty to punish and destroy. And with the turbulent destruction after the Wave. Only a void remains. From deep within the void arrives Corbenik. Perhaps then the Wave is just a beginning as well." He would remain silent after this and see what his comrades would say. ════════════════════════════════════xx━╃☪╄━xx════════════════════════════════════ Profile Link ≾ Stats: ≿
He had sensed the other Maidens were closing in on his location, not moving a muscle even as Macha had reached the rooftop. He kept looking out into the distance while listening to her constant complaining. Something he definitely did not appreciate especially from a supposed powerful warrior such as herself. When she stopped whining he turned his head so he could gaze upon the girl and gave her a look of disgust. "A true warrior does not complain about meeting spots and simple tasks such as climbing. I thought you were better than that little girl," he spoke in a thick accent. These fellow maidens and...associates were children compared to him but he respected them as fighters. He just hated their personalities.
The first maiden to arrive was Annabel, a women who thought the whole world revolved around her. Sagen had to respect her grace and her darker side but he could not stand her either. He stood up slowly from his spot and turned around to address the lady. "Miss Blackthorn, a pleasure as always," he simply said with no emotion. Really these guys were such a miserable bunch but it kinda worked. He could see Annabel looking at him, was she scared or just cautious of the man? Sagen could not read her 100% which bothered him. "I hope you girls brought your weapons and your....killer personalities because we have some chaos to spread," he said, hoping to bring their spirits up. The group had not been active for so long so hopefully this would light a spark within all of them including himself. He had not used his sword in a few years. The next maiden Rubrum had made it, spouting his usual nonsense. Sagen rolled his eyes, the boy was so un-hinged. How he became a maiden was beyond Sagen.
Macha glanced at the other woman as Annabel made her way onto the roof, bristling slightly at the implied insult behind the woman's words about her 'pedigree' as if she were some kind of mongrel. Softly she huffed, turning away from the other woman as another joined them. Rubrum's recitation of the Epitaph of Twilight made her smile, pleased that what she'd heard of him was true. It was rare that anyone knew the origin of her name, only knowing that 'Macha' was a siren who deceived her enemies with her appearance and demeanor before destroying them. Rubrum was known as Skeith, Death's Terror if some were to be believed. While she doubted that Death itself sent Rubrum as its messenger she doubted he had earned that reputation through adopting fluffy bunnies.
She turned her attention to Sagen as he told her not to complain, pouting as he called her girl. "I am, but why would I advertise as much to fools?" she asked, sulking slightly that he wasn't even trying to play along with her. Softly she giggled as he said he had chaos he wanted to spread, gleefully flexing her hands to feel the gauntlets shift. "Oh, this does sound like fun. I'm always up for some chaos."
Turning to the other two maidens she grinned. "It will be quite fun working with you." Winking at Rubrum she quoted a different part of the Ephitaph. "Returns to nothing, this world of shadowless ones. Never to return, the shadowed one, Who quests for the Twilight Dragon." Giggling again she turned to Sagen, eager to get started. "What's the plan for today? General wanton destruction or do you have a specific target in mind?
With a small sigh, Annabel would look to Sagen and smile coldly. "Lying to a woman is quite the vile thing you know. You needn't put up any airs around me, dearest Elder, I know my standing in your mind." With that, she would hear the poem spoken by Rubrum, and with another sigh, she would turn to see him stepping onto the roof behind her. "Speaking of Elders, here's the other one." Annabel would not speak another word as she stepped off to the side, keeping an eye on the three while she channeled her powers to float in place in a sitting position, one leg crossed over the other.
With Sagen's mention of chaos and destruction, she would roll her eyes in slight disgust. Sagen had an odd fixation on just destroying everything in sight, and that was where the origin of her problems with the man lay. She didn't become a maiden to see the world burn, she wanted to use her powers to gather all the intriguing toys throughout Remnant, and rebuild her household to a standard she approved of. Working with the other Maidens just seemed to be the simplest way to do so. So for now, she just dealt with the petty destruction and bloodshed. When the woman spoke to Sagen, Annabel would look to the man and listen as well, her chin resting lightly against her palm as she did so.

════════════════════════════════════xx━╃☪╄━xx════════════════════════════════════ The time had come but of course Sangen only wanted destruction, but that was not on Rubrum's agenda as much so he knew he needed to remind his superior of the original plan. "Sangen you need to remember that we don't want to kill everybody, and the time to fully reveal ourselves is not at hand. So once again I will remind you of our plan. What better place to begin sowing the seeds of disharmony and lack of trust than with the youth? The next generation of hunters and Huntresses, so what better place to begin than the school, Beacon. I have already submitted myself, Lady Annabelle, and Macha as three siblings who are attending the school. I will be using my illusions to hide our true identities and we can destroy the school from the inside out. I mean we could go in swords and guns ablazing or we can take time, learn their weaknesses and come up with a plan to destroy the school and sow the chaos you so richly desire. I know it means that you have to wait a little longer, but if you do than we can have some massive fun as you say and possibly gain some new followers if you understand what I mean, my fellow Maiden." ════════════════════════════════════xx━╃☪╄━xx════════════════════════════════════ Profile Link ≾ Stats: ≿

She may have been a little late to arrive but she was caught up in a book. Something that didn't happen for her very often. Adorned in her normal street attire. With a swift walk that was almost impossible for most, she made her way to the coffee shop, going to the back alley. Looking up at the wall she smiled ever so slightly.
Why a Rooftop? Why out in the open... Not my problem.. She thought in her head as she started her accent up the wall. Not bothering in taking the fire escape that was close by. To her it would take more time climbing it then how she was at this very moment. However as she finished her climb up the wall with little to no effort at all, she looked about the other maidens. Along with another she didn't completely recognize. Tilting her head slightly at the woman but quickly shrugged it off as another thing that she shouldn't concern herself with.
She simply sat on the rooftop and brought out a little bag of cookies from her bag. Tempted to pull out her mask and that was beside the cookies. Undoing the black ribbon on the bag she brought out one cookie after the other. Quietly munching her tail slowly swishing back and forth as she ate and listened. Staying out of the idle chatter until she was told to do something, stop eating cookies or to share cookies. One of which she would not do no matter what.
Narcissistic Anti-Social All these things say "make me loco" Masochistic Suicidal All these things make me HOMICIDAL.
I don't give a ******** what you think about it, I'd just as well kill you today. No more apologies, It's all I can take! No more regret for the truces that I make, You say you love me, you hate me I don't give a ******** today!
Sagen had wanted to freeze this city over so badly, his hands were itching to grab his blade and cause the whole area to freeze. It was rubrum who talked some sense into him. Yes it would be a good idea to wait and not reveal themselves now. But if they caused panic and confusion now then they could show they they meant business. Sagen thought through each scenario, taking into consideration as many aspects as he could but he was not one for thinking so far ahead. He was more of a conquer and pillager than a tactician. But that was why he enlisted the help of the other maidens so for once he was going to listen to them. The man sighed and looked up to the other maidens and macha. "Fine, we will go with your plan Rubrum but I will need to stay in the shadows and work to unite the other freelancers. I also want Lady Annabel to begin finding and collecting as many grimm and other mindless pawns when not in class." he began to speak, most of his planning was improvised to a certain degree but they did need a force to wreak havok when they did finally reveal themselves. After thinking it through again they could not take on the headmasters and the other huntsmen alone. "Macha you will use your resources to gather more....worthy warriors aswell as enough dust for our forces to use." his gaze shifting to the girl as he addressed her. "As much as destroying this place sounds fun, I guess you are right. We wait for the opportune moment." he paused as a new thought came to mind. "Oh and one more thing Rubrum, see what you can find out about the headmasters and the weapons and abilities they poses," he finished with. He hoped the others would succeed, no... he knew they would. Through personal experiences with each of them, Sagen knew they were capable of the tasks he had given them.
OOC: Sorry guys, I know you had to keep on waiting and there was a huge gap between this and my last post. My normal laptop got trojaned and I am using the library computer. I will be able to post normally from next week.

Annabel would listen to the discussion between Rubrum and Sagen with polite interest, noting the emergence of their fourth and final member. She would look to the woman and give her a slight nod as a greeting before looking back to Sagen as he started 'assigning' tasks to herself and the others. Before she could say anything about not wanting to be ordered around like one of the help, her scroll would chirp in the hidden pocket inside her sleeve. Flicking out the device, she would smile at the news on the screen. "I take it that now we've been... assigned our tasks..." She would say with an icy tone before continuing, "That we are now dismissed? Regardless, I have an appointment that I must see to, so I will be taking my leave now. If you require me, you will find me in my penthouse suite."
With that, Annabel would move to her feet and walk off the roof of the establishment, floating down into the alleyway before silently walking off into the crowd. As she made her way out, she would begin to notice men and women with various familiar crests mixed into the crowd. With that, she would smile once more, these people were quite effective indeed. She would walk to one of the men and clear her throat to get his attention. The man would turn to her and then bow deeply. "He has arrived, and is waiting for you m'lady. Do you wish for us to escort you?" Annabel would nod once. "It would be rude for us to keep him waiting, now wouldn't it?" With another bow, the man would gesture for two other gentlemen to follow before leading her down the streets silently.
Macha's shoulders slumped as Rubrum said that she would be among those infiltrating the school. "School?" she whined, looking both annoyed and bored at the idea, "If I wanted to go to school I would have gone years ago. This is not fun." She huffed, irritably crossing her arms over her chest and sulking. Her pout increased as Sagen agreed, giving her another assignment as well before they went to the school. "Fine, but I will not sit still for some stupid class on ancient history or stupid politics. I'd better get some fun out of this," she said, sulking as she made her way back down to the alley before wandering off to the favorite bar of one of her contacts. If Sagen wanted dust, she knew some guys who owed her some debts. As for recruiting...well, she'd put the word out and see what happened but she didn't have high hopes. Most people, even rouges like herself, were not as much fun as she was.
