Small Treasures & Monsters of the Night

Like most people, everyone carry some sort of baggage with them from
their past. Some carry the fact of being disowned, others who had a failed
marriage, while others have crime looming over their heads. Yet, some have baggage
that is alive and always trying finding a way out of its cage to cause trouble.
For Brian's case, that live animal in its cage has gotten out and is now coming
after him.
For the last couple of weeks, Brian has been keeping true to his word of
staying on the clear path of hard honest work. Yet, in the middle of the nights
he can be seen leaving at odd hours of the night and gone for a couple of hours
to as far as until early mourning. Returning back with some extra cash in his
coat's inner pocket. Other times a little bit more chipper with the scent of
alcohol on him on the night's where he doesn't have work tomorrow mourning.
With one incident of him coming back one night singing old folk songs in a
drunken state.
Yet, where one man finds success in life there are always others that
are more than willing to take that success from them or scavenge from the
crumbs at least. Those from Brian's old life have been following him back home.
Small things have been going missing as the filth of the slum's residents
slowly creep up into the nicer districts of London.
As things start to go missing the questions begin. Where is everything
going and why can no body find them. Is someone coming into the night without
permission to make some ill gains. And who is to blame or suspect for what is
happening. Than again, it seems that the Society have gained a couple of new
people recently 
Alicia Ghast (Elaina): *Alicia was new, but she noticed some of her few
things going missing, like her boyfriend's jacket, which she had been wearing
when she came to this timeline, which broke her heart when she lost it. She was
determined to find who took it and get it back*
triman95:  There
would be fade traces of scoff marks on the floors here and there. Looking like
someone been moving a lot around the Society building itself. Seems to be all
around really as they lead around to different rooms. A spot of filth on the
floor that cannot be ignored. Yet, all of these marks seem to pile up the most
around door way of the storage room. Mostly to the section where boxes and
crates that are either empty or fill with something (such as garbage or useless
junk etc.) that are shipped out that are not used or needed anymore.
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  *she
noticed and decided to have a steak out in the storage room. She got a sandwich
and hid behind s crate, waiting*
triman95:  Using his
back to up the door, Brian comes in with a couple of small empty boxes that
were fill with food and a empty bag of soil. Walking over to the other boxes
and crates destined to be shipped out for whatever reason. Tilting his head to
the side as he is walking and noticing the floor scoffs. "Shush," he
said, "Someone been coming through here a lot." Not noticing that he
isn't alone. For a moment he has a smirk on his face as his thoughts start to
drift off for a bit.
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  *Alicia's
eyes widened and she stayed hidden, waiting to see if it was this man who stole
her jacket*
triman95:  Setting
down the empty boxes and the bag, he takes a look around to make sure he is
alone. Reaching into his coat pocket with a smile on his face. "Come to
old Brian," he said as he starts to pull out something.
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  *Alicia's
eyes narrowed and she got closer to see what he was grabbing. Then she fell too
far forward, and ended up sprawled out on the floor with a smack. She yelped
and got up quickly*
triman95: Brian stood there frozen with a pastry sweet in his
hand and a small milk jug in his other hand that he stole from the kitchen.
Setting the pastry snack and milk down on a box he bends down towards Alicia.
"You alright?" he said as he holds out a hand to help her.
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  *she
slowly took his hand and stood* y-yeah... *blushes hard*
triman95:  "What
are you doing here hiding behind boxes?" he asks as he grabs the milk and
offer it to her to put against her head or anywhere that may hurt.
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  I'm
looking to find who stole my jacket... I'm okay! *pushes the milk away*
triman95:  "Your
jacket?" he says as he puts the milk off to the side, "Not sure if I
seen one at all here. If it is here then it is more than likely not in this
building anymore."
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  Not in
this building...? Oh... *looks sad* that was my boyfriend's jacket...
triman95:  "Are
you sure that you didn't miss place it somewhere?"
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  I had it
with me... I took a nap.. And it was gone.
triman95:  Rubbing
the top of his head he looks over to the empty boxes and then back at Alicia.
"Well if you like you can try following where all empty boxes and crates
go if you like?" he said as he points at the empty boxes.
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  Oh! Okay!
triman95:  Pauses for
a moment as he thinks for a second. Staring at Alicia with a disappointment
look. "To be honest, I don't know where these boxes go off hand," he
said as he stands up and looks at the side of the crate, "Although I think
there should be something here that can give you a lead."
triman95:  After
awhile of the box shaking a little bit, the wagon that it was carrying would
start hitting dents in the road, a good amount of them. One familiar with the
streets might know that they are getting close to somewhere bordering the
slums, industrial part of town, or the docks, since the crate is suppose to be
empty or filled with junk.
The cart would eventually stop, coming to a complete halt. Two muffle masculine
voices can be heard. "So where is this coming from?" said one of the
voices.
"I believe this came from that Society building," said the second.
"Another empty one than," the first said as he tries to lift the box,
grunting, "I take that back. Got something in it and it is heavy."
The second man coming over to help the first now.
"Has to be some scrap than. Been awhile."
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  *Alicia
stayed silent, hoping she'd find who was taking stuff.*
triman95:  The two
men toss the crate that she is on next to a pile of others. "You want to
go ahead and tell one of those gangs that a crate from the Society came
in?" said the first man as he sits on top of the crate.
"Sure. Know which of them is offering a good deal for information of the
crates this time?" said the second one as he takes a drink from a flask
and tosses it to the first man.
"I think the Fishmonger gang this time," the first said as he takes a
drink, "I think some mainlanders are interest in what those Society people
are up to."
"Too bad that it isn't much. Probably some more small stuff like a piece
of paper for who knows what. Try and not to drink all of that stuff," The
second said as he leaves. The first man staying behind sitting on the crate
taking a drink now and again.
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  *Alicia
listened close. She didn't know much about the society, but she knew when she
got back she had to tell someone!*
triman95:  Roughly a
hour later the second man returns with a third man. The third man speaking in a
tone as if he was woken up from a good dream speaks up, "Is this it?"
he asks as they meet up with the first man.
"Yes," the first said as he pats the crate.
"Well hurry and open it up!" the third said as he begins to fish out
a couple of pounds. the second man grabbing a crowbar to open the crate up to see
what is inside.
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  *Alicia's
eyes widened and she got ready. As soon as they opened the crate she jumped out
and cowered behind it* where's my stuff?!
triman95:  The 3 men
looked surprise at the fact the crate was only filled with Alicia. The three of
them begin to argue. The first man, having a mustache looks over to Alicia,
"Get out of here if you know what is good for you." None of the three
men looking unhappy at her as the third man, whose face is cover in cuts, puts
money into the hands of the second man's hand, the second man looking young,
barely consider a adult age.
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  No! I want
my stuff! *the teenager-looking woman glared from behind the crate*
triman95:  "I
got this," said the young man, the second, as he walks over to try and grab
Alicia to try and force her out of the warehouse.
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  *Alicia
screamed and kicked* I heard everything they said and I'll tell the people at
the society so that you can't take their stuff anymore!
triman95:  The
scarred man, third man, walks over and throws a punch at her. Trying to knock
her out.
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  *she cried
out and grabbed her cheek, tears in her eyes* I j-just want m-my jacket...
triman95:  "Well
it isn't here," Said the scarred man, "Should of bought a new
one." The man this time trying to grab her again, but not to take her
away, but to get rid of her.
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  *she
shouted and twisted out of the man's grip, stumbling and running away* I can't
buy a new one...!
triman95:  The
scarred man chasing her for a bit, but falls behind. Shouting at her as she
gets away, "DON'T COME BACK HERE IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU!"
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  *she
stumbled as she ran*
triman95:  The
scarred man seeing this, starts to move on her again.
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  Eep! *gets
up and runs faster, still stumbling*
triman95:  The man
fumbling behind. "I am getting too old for this," he said to himself.
Alicia Ghast (Elaina):  *she ran
around, finding her way back to the society.*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *It was
just after lunch and Alice was returning to her room to clean up. After taking
many of the books back to the library she began to straighten up her work and
notes on torture, but something wasn't right. Key elements of her work were
missing. Alice could feel the anger grow warm inside her "Someone stole
my work!!" but that rage was quickly quelled to a fear as she realized
that it was the details of her playdate with Catt that were stolen. If those
notes got into the wrong hands... She shook her head and stormed out of her
room and down the hall, on the hunt.*
triman95:  By the
time that Alice got out on her hunt. Brian was busy working on reinstalling the
front door that was broken the night Nex and Dreamer came back. Putting the
last screws and pins in the door and sighing with relief. Now he no longer had
to worry about trying to stay up through the night on guard duty. Turning his
head slightly as he hears the foot steps of Alice. "What got you in such
rush?" he said as he sets a couple of tools down.
Hyde without a Jekyll:  SOMEONE
TOOK-- *She cuts herself off realizing she had never seen this man before and
immediately goes on the defensive.* Who are you?
triman95:  "I am
Brian," He said as he open and close the door a little bit to make sure
they work as they are suppose to, "I am the new helping staff here."
The doors making a creaking and squeaking sound on its hinges. "God, these
things need a bit of oil or something."
Hyde without a Jekyll:  ...*She
eyes the stranger cautiously.* ....what kind of help are you
doing around here?
triman95:  Spots the
way her eyes are staring at him. He has seen that look before, all too well
that is. "Well right now? I just finish putting this door back on after a
woman name Nex broke it with her oversize hammer and with a man," he said
as he swings the door open and close a couple of times. The new door making
squeaking sounds as it moves on its hinges. Brian sighing at the door and says,
"Well besides going to try and find some oil or something to get rid of
that squeaking. I do work here and there. Carrying heavy stuff to and from for
the scientists, maintenance or whatever anyone else may need from me."
Hyde without a Jekyll:  General
tasks then... *Her voice trails off. New people always made her nervous. They
were unpredictable, dangerous. She shook her head as there were more important
things at stake.* By chance have you seen any ...research and notes floating
around? Anyone looking guilty? Anything odd on the 4th floor?
triman95:  Raising a
eyebrow at her question and giving her a stare that makes it seem like she
asked the question with the most obvious answer. "Of course. I seen
research notes everywhere," he said as he closes the door, "But they
are all in the offices of the different scientists here. As for looking guilty,
cannot say. So far I have seen a woman with a over size war hammer and another
woman cover in bandages. Besides that no one else. As for the forth
floor..." He thinks for a moment and says, "I think the only thing
odd were that some things in storage were moved around. I think someone was
just looking for something and moved some things."
Hyde without a Jekyll:  hm. I must
of miss placed it. *The girl takes a seat on the floor and begins to rummage
through her satchel. After a few seconds she pulls out an oil can.* You said
you needed this?
triman95:  Smiling as
he reaches down for the oil can he stops just as he is about to grab it.
"Why do you have a oil can in your satchel?" he asks.
Hyde without a Jekyll:  Why
wouldn't I? *She goes back to rummaging through her satchel, looking for her
papers. It's taking a bit longer than normal.*
triman95:  Takes the oil
and starts to use it on the new door's hinges. "What are you looking for
in there?" he asks without looking at her. Opening and closing the doors
to makes sure the oil is getting in the hinges.
Hyde without a Jekyll:  My
research. I'm hoping I misplaced it inside my satchel...*She sighs and closes
her bag.*...but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case.
triman95:  "You
think someone else in the Society took it? What is it even about anyway?"
Hyde without a Jekyll:  It's...my
research and it has some very...sensitive information on it! *She looked down
at the floor, feeling guilty that she still kept her notes on her
"play-date" with Catt.* I don't know who took it but it's very
important that I find it. In the wrong hands it could be...devastating.
triman95:  "Devastating?"
he asks as he chuckles, "Sorry. The most devastating thing I have seen
scientifically are plants and just me carrying God knows what in those heavy
crates. Surely it cannot be that bad? What is it anyway?"
Hyde without a Jekyll: Very important research about the human body and
mind! *She snaps back being intentionally vague.* And if I don't find it I--we
could be in a lot of trouble depending on who's hands it falls into.
triman95:  "Well
I do not know what to say or do from there. Plenty of places that it could have
ended up at or with someone else. I am certain there are plenty of people out
there that would want something like that. How long ago did you lose it?"
Hyde without a Jekyll:  This
morning. *She's clearly anxious.*
triman95:  Taking in
a deep breath, he stares at her with a serious expression. "Well if they
are going to be found I think it is best you stop giving me nothing to work
with," he says as he sits down on a nearby chair. "I can only guess
at this point that these papers are dangerous as you have said, worth a
fortune, or just some gossip stuff by the way that you being vague. You are
going to have to tell me what they are if I am going to help you anymore than
what I have," saying all of this with a serious expression. He wasn't born
yesterday and he gotten use to the habit that if someone keeps something vague
long enough then it is something serious. Nothing good from his own experience.
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *She sighs
realizing she's got no one to turn to, no one who would understand at least. If
Brian ever found out...too much and attempted to go to the other lodgers with
this, her word would beat his. Alice walked over to Brian and in a low voice
says,* I study...fear, pain, and the effects they have on the human body and
mind. The test subject, the notes were on, was someone who doesn't want their
identity known. If people were to find out who the subject was, it would be bad
not only for my subject but me and by extension the Society as well. This is
very sensitive information and this stays between us. No one can know about
this, understand?
triman95:  Nodding
his head as he listens. Taking a moment to stare at her after hearing
everything has been said. He had something o help protect himself now if she
ever tried anything against him. "Oh God," he thought to himself in a
dreaded tone in his head. Old habits die hard and having blackmail on the other
small time criminals like him for security was nothing new. Still, not like his
word have gone far anyway without proof.
Taking in a breath to whisper back to her, "I understand more than what
you think. If someone did steal something like that from you, I can only think
of two people who could either make a fortune off of that kind of stuff or use
it in terrible ways. In your case, I say pray that it is the first person I
have in mind."
Hyde without a Jekyll:  I'm glad
you have a theory as to who may have my notes. We should try to retrieve them
as soon as possible before any damage is done. *Her tone was low and serious.
But something...odd... about this situation tugged at the back of her mind.*
triman95:  "Well
be careful about calling them out if you suspect them of having them and lying
about having them. They are the kind of people that wont have trouble killing
you if need be. If we are going to do this, then I suggest grabbing the least
formal and dirtiest of clothes you have and any gadgets. Just in case."
Putting away the tools he use and gets ready to return them from where he got
them.
Hyde without a Jekyll:  Alright.
I'll meet you back here in 15 minutes. Sound good?
triman95:  As they
walked through the slums for a bit, the area of the slums seemed to change with
itself as they move closer to the Red District of the criminal world. The
streets slowly change from the hopelessness and filth that the slums once
portrayed to one of a whole different kind of filth, but now with pleasure.
This part of the slums would be consider the nicest looking place that it would
surprise people that it was part of the slums in the first place if it wasn't
for the brothels and prostitutes that filled the streets. The entire area was
filled with life, both physically with a lot of people and mentally with joy.
Even the buildings themselves produce a lively hood of colors and sounds. This
was the kind of place that anyone that wanted pleasure, to try their luck at
gambling, or just simply wanted information could find.
Standing out in front of a little off beat building behind the major
attractions, lay a building that once was a brothel now a small pub that had
seen better days. With a old sign saying, "The French Cousin".
"Well, here we are," Brian said as he stand in front of the building,
"This will probably be the best place to get a start with this part of
town. You remember what I told you?"
Hyde without a Jekyll: Don't accuse them of anything,
and be ready for danger. *She nodded.* I'll flow your lead since I wasn't
working for most of my time on the streets. *She glances up on the roof tops
longingly.*
triman95:  He
nods as he says, "Then stay quiet for now if you can. This is a old friend
of mine." Walking into the building, the first thing that would hit them
would be a cloud of smoke. The inside was nicer than outside as a small handful
of people liter the room. A couple of them playing a dice gambling game in the
corner, some older guest trying to flirt with some of the ladies, other women
standing off to the side that take long look at the main characters coming in,
and scatter out were a couple of people that seemed lost somewhere with a
hookah pipe near them. Yet, Brian moved through the room and straight to the
back counter where a older woman sat there smoking on one of those long
cigarettes.
The older woman looks upset as she seen Brian approach here. "Well, well.
Look what the cat drags in," she says shaking her head.
"Mama Helen!" Brian says in a cheerful tone, "I hope you
were...."
"If you came looking for money that people owe you then I owe you
nothing," Mama Helen says in a annoyed tone as she interrupts him,
"If its about you losing another job again don't tell me. I had enough
hope in you to bet on you keeping this one with those mad scientists. I don't
want to pay up yet."
"No, no nothing like that," Brian says shaking his head, "I came
for other reasons."
"Other reasons?" Mama Helen asks as her eyes narrow down to his
friend, "Who is your friend? Doesn't seem like you to bring someone like
her with you."
Brian turns and waits for her to respond to Mama Helen.
Hyde without a Jekyll:  It's a pleasure to meet you,my name's Alice *She says extending her hand* Brian,
here, is helping me with a...delicate problem of mine. He told me that your
skills with uh... delicate issues... are the best he's ever seen and if anyone
could help me, it would be you.
triman95:  Mama
Helen takes a long long at Alice before looking at Brian with a hideous grin.
"So your name is Brian is it?" she asks almost laughing.
Brian now looking a little bit worried leans down to whisper to Alice, "I
knew I forgot to mention something important. Don't use your real name in these
parts. Luckily we didn't use last and middle names."
"Don't worry Irish," Mama Helen speaks up taping her ear, "You
know me too well to sell you out like that. Here I was thinking the prodigal
son of Ireland was going down a road a sin. So tell me, what is this
problem?"
Brian setting down some money on the counter starts to speak in a hush tone,
"My friend here had some notes on pain and all that. They got stolen and I
was hoping that you know if the viper of the Red District has them or using
them?"
Mama Helen pauses for a moment in thought. "Pain you say?" she asks
as she turns to face Alice, "Tell me. Does this sound close or like
it..." she shortly begins describing acts that would sound similar to
Alice's work, but in a way that someone would consider kinky than torture.
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *She'll have to apologizes to Brian later about the name issue... Oops. 
As she listens to Mama Helen describing torture, her torture her face grows red
with rage, but as she continues Alice's nose crinkles in disgust.* 
Th-That's My work!! But--Oh god! They've perverted it!
triman95:  "Welcome
to the Red District," they both say at the same time. Neither one of them
really surprise.
"Yeah, that would explain the new attraction," Mama Helen says as she
takes in a deep breath of her cigarette, "The place is small and it is at
the heart of Lady Venom's territory. Good luck getting it back if that was your
plan."
Brian shaking his head in disappointment. A place that he did not want to go
to. Looking over at Alice to see what she was going to say or do for the
matter. Mama Helen giving her another long look of hers.
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *Alice turns towards Brian.* I need to get those notes back. *She's
trying desperately to hold back the anger that's raging inside her.* If we can
also get them to stop...*She closes her eyes and shutters*...that would be good
too.
triman95:  Brian
sighs heavily. "That is easier said than done. If Lady Venom has them than
you can kiss them gone unless you are willing to put yourself and maybe
everyone else in danger from the viper's wraith?" he said not looking
optimistic of the situation. "At best, you would have to sneak into who
knows where to get them as well as maybe destroy any evidence or notes."
"You can always go with arson," Mama Helen says, "That or rob a
bank and give it to that venomous of a snake of a woman." She than take a
look between the two and shake her head as she taps the cigarette. "To be
frank with you two, she probably knows that you two are here and where you came
from or she will soon."
Hyde
without a Jekyll:  What
about a ...trade? Could that work? *She was extremely tempted to just destroy
the whole building and use this "Lady Venom" as a new experiment but
logic told her it wouldn't end well.*
triman95:  "What
would you even had that would be worth... your now dirty work?" Brian
asks. He never heard of anyone, especially giving up a advantage to anything,
but than again no one really had anything good to trade nor what they were
willing to give up in the first place.
Hyde
without a Jekyll:  *She
leans in and whispers to Brian.* I know a certain...sexologist, that we may be
able to convince to "share" some of her works with us. Do you think
Lady Venom would be interested in that?
triman95:  Whispers
back to her, "That depends on how rare and exotic it is. The more common
it is, the more worthless it is to her. Besides that I cannot say. I don't like
to venture any further into Red District beyond this point or do business with
her."
Hyde
without a Jekyll:  *She
huffs at this and whispers back.* Have you heard about the Tentacle Hair
incident? 
And how else are we to get my work back, especially without
attracting unwanted, negative attention?
triman95:  Whispers,
"If I have then it sounds like something I would have blocked out by the
name of it. Besides, these are the slums. Negative attention is the nature of
these parts. Either way, it is finding this sexologists or giving up."
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *All the secret whispering!* The sexologists is easy to find. Though convincing her
to give up some of her work may be a problem. In exchange we may have to
...participate in her next experiment. *Her face turns red at the thought but
she shakes it away.* If any of this, my work especially, is traced back
to us it could destroy everything.
triman95:  He
makes an expressions when she makes mention of taking part of "next
experiment". Clearing his throat he whispers back, "I just pray to
God that it isn't what I think it is. So shall we find the sexologists and see
what she wants? From what you are saying, it seems like we should get your
research back sooner than later."
Hyde without a Jekyll: *Alice nods slightly at
"what I think it is" since it probably will be just that and more.*
In theory we could have this little problem sorted out by dinner tonight and no
one will be the wiser. 
*The duo make their way back
to the Society and up to Rose's lab. Alice looks back at Brian with an
apolgetic look.* I'm sorry for whatever is about to happen. 
*She then knocks on the door and calls to Rose.* Rose? You in there? I need to
talk to you! 
triman95:  Speaks
lowly, "Well this wont be too bad if you ask me. I will finally have an
idea or two of what you scientists do here when the day is over."
Hyde without a Jekyll:  Just
remember, Brian, ignorance is bliss. Once you see something it can never be
unseen. *She replied in a hushed tone before turning back to the door, knocking
once more.* Rose?
RBDECEPTICON17:  -The
blonde doctor had been resting on her desk, like she normally did when she had
nothing to do. But when the second knock came at her door, she opened her eyes
and looked at said door-
Who's...there? -She asked between slightly loud and cute yawns-
Hyde without a Jekyll:  Rose?
It's Alice and Brian. We need to talk to you about...something. *She called
through the door.*
RBDECEPTICON17:  Okay.
Just give me a moment.
-Rose muttered loud enough for the two to hear her, yawning once more before
slowly getting out of her chair, rubbing her eyes as she stepped over to the
door, her clothes a touch messy on her slim body. She then finally opened the
door slightly and peaked her head out-
Hello you two...how are you? -She asked quietly-
triman95:  He gives
a small wave to Rose as he sees her. A bit surprise seeing someone looking
nicely dress for a sexologist. "I been fine. Although Alice here has
business with you more than I do," he says stepping to side to let her do
the talking.
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
smiled back shyly, before looking up at the other woman, smiling at her as she
opened the door more, though she used it in order to keep herself up-
Very well then. Come in you two. -She answered softly as she slowly stood to
the side-
Hyde without a Jekyll:  Thank
you. *She steps inside, mentally preparing herself for the conversation ahead.*
triman95:  He
would enter the room, but wait for the other two. Taking in the decorations of
the room in the meantime.
RBDECEPTICON17:  -But
the blonde just continued to smile softly- Come in. I'm not gonna hurt you or
anything. Miss Rose Knowles. What's your name?
-She asked the man curiously-
triman95:  "Name
is Brian, Brian Patrick O'Donnell."
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
giggled quietly at the name-
I'll just call you Brian. It'll be easier for me to remember it. -She explained
softly to the man-
Hyde without a Jekyll:  Rose,
*She says trying to get to the matter at hand.* I need your help with a
problem. A woman named Lady Venom has some very important papers of mine that I
need back, Brian here was kind enough to help me figure out that much. *She
smiles at Brian before turning back to Rose.* We think the best way to get back
my papers is by making a trade with Lady Venom. *Alice pauses and takes a
breath...this next part was going to be awkward.* Lady Venom runs an enterprise
in the Red District and the only thing she'll even consider trading my papers
for is some very unique...um... techniques of pleasure. *Alice says
this last part quietly as she stares at the ground, red faced.*
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
blushes as well, though her face is a touch redder-
I'm...i'm happy that...you need my help. -She muttered out as she tried her
best to look at Alice...but she still smiled-
So what would you like? What kind of kinks is she into? -The blonde asked as
she went to grab her big and slightly messy notebook form one of the draws of
her desk-
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *Alice
desperately looked at Brian for help.*
triman95:  Brian
takes in a deep breath. Trying to remember the things he blacked out or tried
to when he dealt business in the Red District. "The better question would
be what she isn't into," Brian says taking in a deep breath and starting
to blush himself red as well, "She is well travel or at the least have a
little something from every part of the world from what I have heard. Never met
the woman. Besides that, all I know of her is rumors, from what those that work
for her had said, and the kind of brothels she runs."
RBDECEPTICON17:  B-Brothels?
-Rose repeated with a curious stutter, cheeks going redder. She had always
wanted to go to one of those places, see what all the fuss was about and
experiment around with the women that worked there...maybe now was her chance
to go to one-
triman95:  Nods
his head. "Yes, brothels. She also run gambling rings and dealings in
information and blackmail if that helps."
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
pondered and pondered...until an idea came to her...and her cheeks went even
darker than before. She might regret the idea...but it would help the both of
them-
Maybe notes might not be as good...as giving her someone. -She muttered to them
with her head hung low-
triman95:  Starts
to look a little bit worried as he looks between the two. "I hope you are
not suggesting what I think you are suggesting?"
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *Alice,
being unsure of what's being suggested, stays quiet.*
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
nodded, though she still didn't meet Brian or Alice's gazes-
Yes i'm suggesting...that I be the object to trade for your notes...you sound
like you really need those notes, Brian. -She muttered softly and
understandingly-
triman95:  Holds
up his hands. "Woah, woah. I don't need the notes as much as Alice here.
My only reason to be involve with this is to keep my job here."
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
sighed, before she slowly and hesitantly looked up at Alice, waiting nervously
for her answer-
Hyde without a Jekyll:  I'm
not entirely sure what you're suggesting...*her face grows serious with
determination.* ...but I'm willing to do anything to get my
notes back.
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
let a small smile come to her lips, trying to reassure the taller woman-
I promise that you'll get the notes back, Alice. Besides if you trade me for
the notes, I can get more research from the experience. -The blonde sexologist
explained with excitement-
Hyde without a Jekyll:  Trade
you...? *Her confusion quickly turned to bright red embarrassment as she realized
what Rose meant.* ...Oh.
*She turned to look at Brian, red as a tomato. * Would that...work?
triman95:  He
rubs the back of his head. Avoiding looking either one of them in the eye. From
all of his time in the slums, he never really heard of the upper half of the
gang bosses giving anything back that they had taken, but than again no one
ever really had much of anything to offer unless they were a cop. Looking back
at the two a bit red he takes in a deep breath before saying, "It may
work. I really have no better idea at this point besides a break in, but I
don't think anyone would like it if we started a war between one of the gangs
with the Society."
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *Alice
nods knowing that any negative attention directed towards the Society could
destroy them.* I say we try it...that is if this is agreeable to you, Rose.
*She looks over at the blond.*
triman95:  It
has been a couple of hours since leaving the Society and getting help from Mama
Helen to set up a meeting with Lady Venom through one of her Lieutenants. The
three, Brian, Alice and Rose would find themselves at one of the brothel's
lobby at the center of the Red District. The one where Alice's research notes
were being put to use.
The number of facts about the brothel seems to make Brian uneasy and it is
clearly showing in him. His leg keeps bouncing, he hasn't turn his head or even
spoken a single word. For good reason to. for this is the first time he would
ever lay eyes on Lady Venom. That and the brothel was cleared out of all of its
patrons and its prostitutes, except for the few workers that work there and
that the place was reinforce with extra security for their meeting. At this
point, Brian could only pray and try to remain calm if he could.
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *Alice
sat patiently letting her poker face not betray the nervousness that wreaked
her insides. She leaned over to Brian and Rose whispering as to not be heard by
the workers.* Is there anything we should know before we begin the meeting? Are
real names still not aloud?
triman95:  Leans
to Alice and Rose and whispers to them, "I strongly advise against
it," finally turns and looks at Rose and Alice for the first time since
they gotten to the brothel, "Than again, I fear that she will find out our
names anyway." He sighs heavily, "I wouldn't be surprise if she knew
them already. Information is one of her big businesses. Still, I warn you both
to be careful as best as you can. People don't get these kinds of nicknames for
a reason."
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *Alice
swallows hard returning her eyes to a forward position. She was already very
uncomfortable with the idea that another living being had read her notes on her
play date with Catt, but to think that she could know even more, terrified her
to no end.*
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Now
the blonde's nerves were starting to kick in, body shaking as she looked
between the other two scientists, eyes filled with confusion as to what she had
to do-
So what do we need to do? -She asked quietly in confusion-
Hyde without a Jekyll:  Besides
not use our names...wait I guess. *She doesn't look at Rose for fear of letting
the terror in her eyes betray her nerves.
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose's
cheeks went even darker, before she turned to look at Brian aswell, waiting for
his answer.  The blonde sexologist was a
touch different at the moment, though she was quite cold as she walked along
between the two, her notebook left back in the safe in her quarters, so that no
one would get their hands on it while she was gone. Her body was trembling,
though more from the excitement and anticipation flowing through her veins, than
being nervous about meeting up with Lady Venom. She simply hoped that this lady
would agree to the deal-
-She looked at Brian, giving him a reassuring smile, before speaking up in
curiosity-
Are you okay, Brian? You haven't spoken for quite a while now. -Rose asked
softly-
triman95:  Shaking
his head no. "I am not. This has been the first time that I have ever
really met one of the gang bosses face to face for anything," he says as he
takes a deep breath in, "I am just scared that we are in over our heads at
this point. You know..."
With a sudden burst, the doors fling wide open. Making a dramatic entrance as
Brian gets down on his knees and bows for whoever is about to come through those
doors. At first it is more grunts and bodyguards that come in first, then Lady
Venom followed by a couple of personnel servants. Stopping in front of the
three with a good distance between them in case any of them try to attack her.
Staring at them and waiting to see who among them will be the first to speak up
to her. Smirking as she gets ready to cut off any of them as soon as they speak
with basic knowledge about them. Mainly their names, some common facts about
their past that may be public to anyone that actually would have taken the time
to look, and what they do. Keeping the best pieces of information for later.
Lady Venom would be dresses in a mix outfit combination of Pacific theme
fashion mix with Western French and English culture. To those with the
perspective senses would notice that her skin is smooth, no blemishes anywhere
on her body, a strong fragrant scent, her fingers adorn with strange jewelry,
but most importantly that her eyes were not normal human eyes, but more snake
like. Taking a stance in front of the three that make it seems that she is
superior to them.
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *Taking
Brian's lead she also gets down on her knees and bows. She didn't like the
valuable feeling it gave her but she had no choice.*
RBDECEPTICON17: -Rose looked down at the two in confusion, unsure
of what to do before quickly doing the same as the other two scientists, bowing
before the woman, body shaking in fear as she did so. But there was no turning
back now-
triman95:  Looking
down at the three, Lady Venom smirks with confidence, or at least tries to. She
doesn't move her facial expression from that of emotionless, stern and
calculating. She eyes the three before speaking in a commanding tone,
"Rise." Brian standing up on command as if this was natural for him.
His expression of fear, staring straight forward, and not speaking returns.
Pointing a finger at Brian first she says, "You must be the one refer to
as Irish," turns her gaze away from him, "Just another street filth
barely worth my time... Except for this instance." Admitting that just
seems to make her sound a bit upset. "Now, correct me if I am
wrong..."
She looks at Alice first and says, "You are Alice, a member of that
building of mad scientists known as the Society, just like the others. Someone
who visited those people before actually joining them from what I have heard.
Most importantly, you are the one I should thank for the gift that you have
given me." Grinning at the end. Vaguely indicating that Alice's notes are
worth a lot.
"Yet, there is you," she says as she turns to Rose, "You are
Rose Knowles. Among you and your... associates, you are the one that sticks out
the most. Being a scientist in this city, one that isn't part of that Society
at first, doesn't go unnoticed. Plenty of people have talked about someone like
you more than once, but all bad things really. Still, that is not the thing
that sticks out most to me. It is the fact that you are a sexologist,"
saying that last bit with a tone of enthusiasm as she licks her lips a little.
Something is going through her mind.
"Now, tell me what it is that you wish from this meeting?" she says
as a couple of bodyguards bring a chair in for her to sit in.
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose's
cheeks go a dark crimson, but she remains quiet, not daring to call Lady Venom
out for calling them mad scientists, instead of rogue scientists. But she was
becoming quite nervous, knowing that if everything went right, she would belong
to this woman for a while...not forever...but long enough to satisfy the
woman's needs and wants-
-But before she could stop himself, she spoke up-
Actually madam, we are rogue scientists...not mad scientists. -She corrected
quietly and softly, before her eyes widened and she quickly shut her mouth
tightly-
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *Alice
stands but at the mention of her work or as Lady venom calls it
"gift" her eyes flash rage. It took all of Alice's will power to not
attack her for defacing her precious notes, insulting her friends, and rubbing
the control she had in their faces.* If you know so much about us then you must
know why we are here, but I'll humor you. We wish to make a trade for my
research...all of my research. *Alice knew that business negotiations
could easily go wrong if the fine print wasn't read. Lady Venom could easily
give her the original notes but retain a copy while still being within the
terms of their agreement. If Alice wanted this issue to be put to bed she would
need ALL of her research.* 
triman95:  Lady
Venom's eyes dart at Rose, shooting daggers at Rose with her eyes. It seems
obvious that she didn't take kindly to Rose's statement, but retains her
emotionless expression all the same. "It does not matter what you go
by," she says as she reclines in her chair, "What matters is what
everyone else knows you by. And here everyone in the slums know you as mad
scientists." A statement that often turns out true for most people in the
slums, especially when disaster strikes them from an scientific experiment.
Now turning to face Alice with a wicked slight grin now on her face. "Yes,
of course. I was told about your offer for your research notes for your
'friend' here, but first," she claps her hands, signalling a much older
servant with a measuring tape with him, "I would like to see what I am
getting first. Now tell me Ms. Knowles, tell me about your research and
knowledge as my servant here does what he does best." The older man coming
closer with the measuring tape to measure her physic, not just the normal
stuff, but everything that he can possible measure at the moment. Arm length,
leg length, feet size, nostrils, etc.
Right before the old man attempts to measure Rose, Lady Venom turns to Brian
and says, "This is no place for you street rat. Stay outside until you are
summon again." Gesturing to the door, Brian does what he is told.
Shrugging at Alice and Rose before going outside to wait. Turning back to face
Alice and Rose, Lady Venom's wicked smile grew a bit more and says, "Now
we can have a nice lady's talk about business." Assuming that she has all
of the cards in her hands at the moment.
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *Alice
didn't like the fact that Brian was leaving. She didn't like the fact that Lady
Venom knew what she was offering to trade. She didn't like the fact that she
didn't respect their terminology. She didn't like this situation at all but she
kept her foul words deep in the pit of her stomach. She takes a final fleeting
glance at Brian before readdressing Lady Venom.* I am glad to get down to
business but I am not one to rush through it. *She gestures for Lady Venom's
man to stop measuring and for Rose to back up.* Before I allow you to examine
my end of the trade I would like to see your items. I want to see my notes, all
of them, all copies of them, all mentionings of them. I want
not a scrap of paper to be hidden away referencing my research. If you can
complete this simple task, *She smiled and looked at Rose.* I will have Rose
vividly describe all the pleasures she could bring one such as yourself.
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
backed away slightly, her sensitive skin making her flinch away from the old
man that was trying to measure every part of her body, deciding to hide behind
Alice, her face flustered and cheeks crimson from the other scientist's words-
triman95:  Lady
Venom makes a gesture for the old man to stop. With a snap of her fingers a
couple of the servants would go into the back and come back with the notes,
plus the modified notes made for pleasure. A bodyguard that came with Lady
Venom pulls out her personal copy of the the notes. All of them set behind the
guards on a table away from Alice and Rose, but are in sight. "As you can
see, all of the notes that I have, including yours are right here," she
says, smirking as if she is still winning. "Now you will let my servant
does what he does best or I will be keeping the notes and the negotiations will
end here." She gestures for the old man again, but this time he is waiting
on the sideline, waiting to see what they do first.
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *She
smiles seeing all of her notes laying within her sight.* And you will not continue
to use them in any way for your business?
triman95:  "That
depends on the 'ways' you are thinking about."
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
watched from behind Alice, making herself smaller than the other scientist as
she looked over her shoulder, cheeks crimson and body trembling-
Hyde without a Jekyll:  In
ways that they could be seen by either if not both the public and private
audiences you entertain. *She locks eyes with Lady Venom.* In other words I
would like to cease your use of my work in any way.
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
listened in as her heart raced and raced faster than it had before, cheeks hot
and red while she stared at Alice...and then looked at Lady Venom, showing her
the fear and nerves that plagued her beautiful emerald orbs...but for some
reason...she couldn't look away from the woman's attractive form-
triman95:  She
looks at the two not amuse by the demands and how Rose is acting. "So you
expect me to simply stop all of the wonders I give these simple people, change
what is already here into something else, and leave dozens of people
unsatisfying and angry?" she asks as she casually looks at her hand.
"I at least demand a sample of what your trade has to offer. I do not make
one-sided trades."
Hyde without a Jekyll:  I
expected nothing less from a business woman such as yourself. I understand your
frustration of loosing some of your entertainment methods, which is why this
isn't a one-sided trade. I can guarantee you something that will leave your
clients satisfied beyond their comprehension. Something that will be an
entirely new and pleasurable experience for them, an experience that they
wouldn't have even the intellect to dream of, even on their loneliest of
nights. *Alice stepped back to reveal Rose and gestured for her to give a brief
description of what she has planned.*
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose's
face went an even darker shade of crimson, playing with her 
fingers as she looked over her shoulder at Alice, and then back to look 
at Lady Venom. Her heart was racing fast, her breath growing hot as she 
tried to keep eye contact with the woman-
W-Well...umm...as 
a...s-sexologist I have...lots of knowledge...about m-many kinks. I 
have...umm...also c-created...a few...inventions and...p-potions...that I
have brought...w-with me.
-It was practically clear as day how 
scared and nervous the poor blonde was feeling as she spoke, though she 
tried to show a determined demeanor and stance...but it didn't last even
a second before she was practically trembling and stuttering out her 
words, trying to explain her line of work as best she could, her bag's 
strap that went across her body held tightly in her hands, the bag 
holding a few of said potions and inventions-
Hyde without a Jekyll:  I
think a demonstration would be beneficial. *Alice stepped over to Rose before
muttering something in her ear below the hearing of Lady Venom, before stepping
back behind Rose and letting her have the stage.* *What was whispered to
Rose.* Don't be afraid. She is just your newest client looking for a new and
exotic way to feel pleasure that only you can give her. Start
with your second favorite device and save the best you have for last. I'm
counting on you. *She flashed a small reassuring smile hoping to imbue the
sexologist with the confidence she had shone when dealing with Hela.*
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
let a small smile come to her lips thanks to those caring words, before shoving
a shaky hand into her bag, eyes focusing on the bag and not Lady Venom, her
cheeks flustered and body hot from the woman's words. Soon she pulled out one
of the potions: one that made any person's release even stronger when achieved,
yet harder to achieve when consumed-
-She then slowly and carefully handed it to the servant-
triman95:  The
servant would take it with her to the back. Away from eyesight to be tested.
Lady Venom sits there as the servant and someone else tests the potion. Faint sounds
can be heard before a different servant returns and whispers to Lady Venom.
Lady Venom grinning at the news with pleasure as she looks back at the two.
"It seems that what you have to offer is acceptable. Although, as the
messager had told me about the offer, I understand that I will not be keeping
her indefinitely."
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *Alice
glanced at Rose. This was her decision.*
RBDECEPTICON17: O-Our
leader...he would n-not like it...if I was g-gone forever...the best...I c-can
do...is a month. -Rose explained nervously as she closed her bag somewhat
tightly, so that nothing would fall out of it, before slowly and hesitantly
looking at Lady Venom, scared for what she would do next...but this was all for
a good cause-
triman95:  Lady
Venom would giggle at Rose. "Only a month?" she asks shaking her
head, "Make it six months, but you are allow to come and go as you please
as long as you return back to me. Providing me with something worth my time and
my trade of the notes." The bodyguards without command move tighter
together to block Alice's notes out of view and to make it clear that they
shouldn't try anything rash.
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
was getting even more scared. If she said no Alice wouldn't get her notes
back...but if she said yes, she would become a plaything for Lady Venom, maybe
even trash the reputation of The Society because of her actions. Her
experiments usually happened in the safety of her quarters...but this
time...there was no safety net to fall upon if she said yes to the deal-
-But Alice needed those notes...she desired to have them back. Rose would never
be able to forgive herself if she said no. Small tears come to her emerald
eyes, body trembling as she cannot speak...and instead nods violently before
she changes her mind-
triman95:  With
a devilish smile, Lady Venom rises from her chair. "Then it seems that all
is agree upon," speaking in a tone as if she was giving a speech to a
audience, "You will have all copies of your notes returned and for 6
months your friend will serve in my care sharing her knowledge to me. Unless
their are any objections?" She looks between the two to see if they say
anything.
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
remained quiet as a few tears rolled down her face, trying to keep eye contact
with Lady Venom so as not to be rude, a whimper escaping her as she did so-
-But soon she mouthed a "no" as her answer-
triman95:  She
smiles warmly and wicked at Rose. "The nervous ones are always the 
cutest," she says sitting up eyeing Rose like a predatory does to
prey 
before the attack, "I just love watching them squirm under pressure.
As 
for the potions or inventions, one of my servants will try them."
She 
gives a signal to one of the servants with her. The servant approaches 
Rose and holds out her hand for the potion or invention to try. The 
bodyguards stand more at attention in case anything happens.
Hyde without a Jekyll: *She smiles seeing that
Rose agrees (somewhat reluctantly)* I have no objections.
triman95:  Lady
Venom snaps her fingers as one of the guards grabs the notes and hold them out to
Alice. Another guard comes to Rose and clears his throat and says, "If you
will follow me. We will lead you to the building where we will do our best to
make you at home." The guard pointing to the front where a couple more
guards wait to escort Rose.
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *Alice
snatches the notes from the guards hands, quickly rifling through them to make
sure they were all there before stuffing them in her satchel. She glances over
at Rose to how she's holding up.*
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
looks up at the guard, many tears rolling down her face as she tries not to let
out anymore sobs or whimpers...she had to be strong-
-But before she went, she turned around to look at Alice, trying her best to
smile at the other lodger-
Look after my work and quarters for me, Alice. I'll be okay. -She said softly
and sadly to the other woman, before turning back around to walk to where the
other guards were waiting-
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *Alice
sees the tears on Rose's cheeks and a small, sad smile plays across her lips.*
I will, and when you return, even for a moment, I'll-we'll be waiting for you
with open arms.
RBDECEPTICON17:  -Rose
had heard those words, and they brought a smile to her tear stained face, the
tears getting worse and worse the further she got away from her fellow rogue
scientists. She knew that their leader would be furious by the end of those 6
months...and everyone /might/ become worried or even miss her while she's gone-
-But all she could think of to calm herself down was...it's all for a good
cause-
triman95:  Lady
Venom rises from her seat and departs without giving Alice or Rose a second
look. "Don't worry. I did say you could return back to the Society as long
as you come back to me."
Shortly after Lady Venom leaves, Brian re-enters the building, more white than
before. "I hope the negotiations went well with you three," he says
as he makes sure his flat hat is hanging low to cover his face, "Because
we maybe in serious trouble if not."
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *Alice
turns to look at Brian* I believe they did. *She pats her satchel.* We've got
my notes and ....*her voice trails off looking at Rose who was crying.*
triman95:  He
glances at Rose for a second, but quickly turns his head away from Rose's
direction. He spent enough time in these kinds of parts of town that he cannot
afford the luxury of emotion. Choosing not to look at Rose to avoid feeling
anything.
He walks close to Alice holding out his hand and making sure to hang his head
low to cover his face. "Here, give me half of those notes," he says
as he holds out his hand, "We are not really safe yet to walk freely or to
mourn for our friend. Every gang and lowlife probably have gotten word about
this meeting if they haven't yet."
Hyde without a Jekyll:  *Alice
protectively places a hand on her satchel and growls in a low voice.* If they
want these notes or this satchel they'll have to claim it over my dead body. 
triman95::  Brian
keeps his hand out as his face continues to look uneasy. "Have you
forgotten what part of town we are in?" he asks as he looks at the door
and lobby window, "The people in these parts have no trouble doing that. A
meeting with one of the leaders of the 4 major gangs is not something that is
easy to hide, especially when it is with people like you and Rose. There are
bound to be a couple of hundred of them, not just thugs and cutthroats either,
corrupt cops that are in the gangs pocket. I seen how they operate. So unless
you think you can either fight them all, criminals and corrupt law, or outrun
them, I think it is best we do not give Lady Venom back those notes by keeping
them on only one of us."
He takes a couple of deep breaths as he keeps looking at the door. His gut
telling him that it is a matter of time for when Lady Venom is gone from view
and that others may start storming in.
Will be concluded later
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miss-Dreamerkat: Dreamer had noticed the missing belongings and so had
Nex the two, were patrolling. Nex even calling in reinforcements to patrol
outside the building. All from her assassin organization with ways to contact
her. And dreamer although magicless (practically) She learned to fight and
could easily take down people three times her size with just a single kick to
the face, although she can't take a hit due to years with little to no food and
sub par health conditions.
triman95:  Late into
the night. Three men come out of a alleyway. "Hurry up you two," said
the shortest of the three in a hush tone, "I want to be done with this
before the sun starts to rise." The other two barely keeping pace with him
as the try to go around to the back of the Society's building. Not noticing the
assassins because of the obvious fact.
Miss-Dreamerkat:  One was a
small child, she was one of the replacements and she smiled her sharp teeth
gleaming. Her red eyes practically glowing. The vampire smiled watching this as
they approached standing and ready to fly. 'Petty thieves, but this place has
devices that can be used to overturn London and the underground. Can't let it
happen although it would be entertaining to observe' 
Nex was near the back and Dreamer front, Nex was there to make sure that the
child named Elesa behaved. She was the most brutal of them all and was the
founder of there organization. She was precise with hundreds of years of
experience and she was called in the underground the Grim Reaper.
triman95:  The three
men make it to one of the windows that lead to one of the back rooms. A tall
skinny man, one of the three, grab a nearby box and set it nearby for the
others to climb on. The eldest of the three pull out a small tool set and
starts to check the window.
"Well?" said the short one as he looks impatient, "Is the window
lock still broken and rusty like you said it is?"
With a wiggling of his tool he pry the window open without breaking it.
"Seems like it still is," he said with a smirk as he starts to climb
inside.
"Umm... Guys... I don't think we... should be here," Said the tall
one as he looks nervous, "It doesn't feel right. That... and you heard the
rumors."
"Relax," Said the eldest, "I been here plenty of time. Nothing
to worry about."
Miss-Dreamerkat:  Elese
jumped down smiling and Nex stood there smiling. "OH really? Then i guess
you haven't been here when i'm around" Nex said chakrams gleaming.
"Or i" Elese said behind them.
triman95:  The tall
one catching getting surprise the most as they land be hind them. Quietly
screaming. "Hey keep it...," the short one starts to speak until he
spots Elese and Nex, "Hey Butch. We have some witnesses."
The eldest, Butch, turns around and steps down from the crate. Eyeing the two
as he moves if coat off to the side to show his clever. "Don't know where
you two came from, but I suggest you leave," he said as the short one
pulls out a kitchen knife. The tall one seems a bit too scared that he tries to
step off to the side trying not to draw attention to himself.
Miss-Dreamerkat:  Elese
smiled. "Petty. You call yourselves thieves?" 
Nex stepped outside with her chakrams gleaming. 
Elese smiled. "But if you wish to fight i'll be happy to comply. But i
can't allow you to enter this building" She said happily in a sing song
voice. 
"I don't think you wish to mess with the Grimm's Reapers organization
which this building is under our protection" Nex said.
triman95:  The eldest
and the short thieves look over to the tall one. The tall one creeping back
over to the other two scared and nervous and whispering something to the both
of them.
triman95:  The eldest
and the short man's eyes go wide when the tall one whispers something to them.
The short one now looking angry saids to the eldest, "You didn't tell us
this place was protected by assassins! Good ones to!"
"I didn't know that they were," said the eldest, "This is the
first time I am hearing about this." He turns to face Nex and Elese,
"Who hired you guys to keep us out? Was it Slack Jaw? Furnace? Venom?
Who!?"
Miss-Dreamerkat:  "One
of my top assassains lives here and she told us that about this place and if
the right things get stolen the underworld could be overthrown. So, with
requests of several mafia groups we were told to protect it. And there's no way
i'm loosing my top business contributors" Elese said.
Nex smiled. "Also you stole some of my belongings"
triman95:  The tall
one now even more scared, which somehow appears to be even possible now, speaks
up shuddering, "Oh No! Look I... I know that we.. came to... Oh God! We
are... are going to..."
"Shut it!" said the eldest as he sighs, "I knew the money was
too good when I saw what they were offering. Consider this place off limits by
us. We will spread the word to the others. No guarantee that they will listen.
