Advent

Let out a silent sigh of relief as he heard Chloe's voice, but hearing her words he frowned a bit "I've been up since before dawn, Chloe. Contrary to popular belief I do have a personal life." he growled a little he really wasn't in the mood for such comments, then again he was already annoyed with her from yesterday's conversation. Hearing the question he closed his eyes "I need to talk to you about something, it's important... and no I can't talk to you about it over the phone." his head moved a little hearing a sound "Good morning father." he called for a moment.

"Can you meet me at south end square by the fountain in the middle in thirty minutes?" his voice had lowered to a whisper, he hung up the phone not waiting for a reply going to the table to eat quietly his father telling him off harshly for not doing his violin practice. He remained quiet nodding "I know father, but it was late I didn't want to disturb you... I'll practice as soon as I get back I have an appointment." he said finally standing taking the plates to the kitchen washing, drying and putting away everything away before running to his messenger back but stopped for a second sighing as he heard the television going on he moved out towards the assigned meeting point.

"I never said you didn't have a personal life, now did I?" Chloe rolls her eyes knowing Advent wouldn't see it, "Something important?"

Did he find out about the files Makoto stole? I am going to be so fucked up, he's probably going to kick me out of the techs for this. She heard him say something about the south end square by the fountain before the click as he hung up in her ear, I know he just didn't hang up on me. Sighing, she flips the phone shut and looks at her watch, just enough time to grab something along the way to eat.

Pushing off from the wall, Chloe heads back the way she came and enters the small cafe on the corner. Ordering a coffee and a sticky bun, sticky buns would be the death of her yet, she just had a craving for anything that had oozed with cinnamon. Plucking down the money to pay for her order, what she had said to Zaki was true. She wasn't hurting for money and there had never been a time where either her or Avalon went hungry, her mother might have slowly lost her mind over the years after her father had walked out but she had enough sense to open up the trust funds and put everything under Chloe's name even through people thought she was stupid leaving a flat and money in the hands of a thirteen year old.

It had taken years for Chloe to prove to her neighbors and others in the neighborhood she was capable of raising her sister. She still faced problems these days regarding if she was a fit guardian or not, one reason why her Uncle had literally twisted her arm about Jayden moving in..

Grabbing up the takeaway cup and bun as the waitress sits them on the counter, Chloe hurries out of the cafe and makes haste toward the meeting point, stuffing a piece of the still warm bun into her mouth.

Several vans drove past Makoto as she approached the Hunter-occupied school. There were Hunters patrolling the school's front entrance and around the campus wall.

Screw this. They probably have enough help. I don't need some officer yelling orders at me. Makoto drove into an alleyway and parked in an empty lot. She popped the trunk open and grabbed the bow and quiver, and detached the scope from her rifle before locking the SUV and climbing onto the roof of an apartment.

Makoto looked into the rifle scope and watched the Hunters secure the school. There were men in lab coats assisting the soldiers and throwing children into vans.

A girl screamed in the distance. Makoto searched for the source with her scope and spotted Avalon being restrained by two Hunters. A doctor came out of the van and injected her with some sort of drug. Heh. Chloe's going to have a bad day.

Advent

Advent continued running towards where he was due to meet Chloe, he knew his board would be the quickest way to travel but with what he was seeing told him that lo-tech was the way to go at the moment which worried him further as he was on a tight schedule as he needed to get back to make lunch in time for his father's medication 'This is going to be a horrible day I can tell this already. he thought to himself but smiled the same way he always had but it faded as he checked the information over again "Fuck!" as soon as he seen that information he really wished he didn't have to be the messenger to Chloe but if he didn't say when he knew she'd never forgive him, hell he'd never forgive him.

Sighing he sat by the fountain enjoying the light spray that came from the water hitting the water in the fountain "Calm, serene but that is always the way before the fun times of the storm." he couldn't help but laugh a little, even though he had a feeling that times where going to be beyond rocky for everyone he couldn't help but seeing it as a puzzle that had to have some sort of solution. Moving his head slowly towards the clock he checked the time and sighed "For all I am enjoying the air I'm on a schedule and she's late." He wasn't mad at her after all it was still kind of early and he believed that there was a good chance that she was still hat her home likely making breakfast.

Vincent slowly opened his eyes then quickly stood up feeling something odd in the air this was the first time, he had felt anything like this before running out of his room over to the window with the fire escape. The vampire leap out in one single movement darted for the roof, once on the roof Vincent looked about trying to seek out the feeling that was filling the air make it so heavy. Ducking down, Vincent could feel it was coming from the school, this was not good. Running then jumping reaching out to grab on to pipe drain he moved down the building stop across from a window.

Vincent looked over his shoulder then called out. "Kenji. . .do you feel what I feel lurking about in the air. . . ." he said tilting his head to the side then moving his gaze to the place where the heavy feeling was coming from. "We need to find out what is happening. . . ." leaping from the other building then grabbing on to the window edge opened the window climb up sat on the window edge.

--

Ashton heard her alarm all over again as she woke up finally, turning over she hit it off then sat up looked around seeing the time then day. "Wait what?! Nuuuuuu I over slept?! But how? Was I really that tired?! Why?!" she yelled staring to scramble out of bed to start getting ready. She was to go and do something that day but it never happened now she had to make it up for this day in hope something good would happen for her sleeping the whole day away.

--

Zaki turned over as he reached out feeling for Chloe he didn't feel the other there. Opening an eye seeing she was not there, he moved around stretched trying to take in what happened the night before and he did smiled some. Once he was more awake he got up headed for the door till he saw a note left for him. Going over to pick it up started to read it, knowing it was from Chloe feeling something was wrong but he knew better then to worry so much over her, Zaki pushed the thoughts aside and trying to let it go. Putting the paper down making his way to the door he opened it, to head out of the bathroom unknown to him that Jay was also coming down the hall at the same time. Opening the door he had hit the other in the face with the door with a heavy thud. Looking behind the door seeing who he had hit. "Oh Jay! I am sorry I didn't know you where up!" he said to him.

Not having time to react before the door literally smacked him.. right in the face causing pain to shoot up his already injured nose. Groaning, Jayden glares at.. Zaki?
"When did you get here and why are you in Chloe's room?" Jayden's brown eyes narrow at Chloe's fellow tech member as he gingerly feels to see if his nose is swelling any.

Finishing her makeshift 'breakfast', Chloe tosses the cup and napkin into the nearest trash can. She wasn't the type of person who would throw her trash on the ground and with a sigh, flips open her cell phone to check a text or two that she had received from the other members of the faction, mostly asking what the status of the alliance against the Hunters was and if the techs were planning to get involved or not, seems Advent had failed, once again to let these members know he was back..

Arriving at the south end square, Chloe makes her way to where Advent was, crossing her arms over her chest, an impatient look on her face, she did have plans for the day after all, "So what is it that's so important? You make it sound like the whole world of technology is about to crash and burn."

Kenji

Kenji emerged from the shadow taking a knee, his arm on his knee lightly his head lowered as he heard his name called "Called when summoned." he said his voice calmly obedient but somehow still held it's cold tone as he spoke. His eyes went to the passers by from the corner of his left eye "Pathetic ants..." he mumbled coldly, he truly believed that the people at this part of the city had no purpose in life and so should be removed from it. "They should be destroyed." his voice once again showing he was speaking to himself more than Vincent.

Hearing the question he lifted his head his head now turning to where he seen Vincent looking "The air is slightly heavier than normal, but it could be there is a storm on the way." He didn't have the same senses that Vincent had but at the same time he knew something wasn't right "If you are worried why not just hunt one of those worthless techs." he sneered slightly not liking the fact that they at times needed help from other factions it left a bitter taste in his mouth.

Vincent looked over to the other crimson eyes lidded as he leaned against the window frame. "Did I ever say there was any help going to happen I just wanted to know if you had felt the same thing I was feeling with in the air. Yes the people here are worthless and should be removed but what can we really do with out them? As of right now they are cover and a need for you and I." resting his arm across his knee looking away from Kenji to look out the window. "I will say this though. . . .you need to be careful make sure hime chan is well, and will return home safely to you with this ill feeling in the air. . . ." he said

Vincent looked hard across the way whatever was happening was something he was not liking very much but he was not go to make a move on something like that with out really finding out what was happening.

--

"Wedding bells??" he thought about it some and pinked a little. "Eh what?! Way to soon to be thinking about that. . . .and I need to better my self before I could even think of wanting to something like that." he said in a serious tone. "Uh here let me make breakfast what do you say?"

Advent

Advent shifted his head up the smile quickly being replaced with a serious one "Nice of you to catch up." he stated as he stood dusting himself off a little "You haven't been the one waiting so don't look so impatient." he said coldly walking to her his hand going to his head as he rubbed his head bringing out his ice blue laptop and opened it sending out an email "You won't need to read it as I'll tell you what it's saying." he looked up "Until further notice everything is lo-tech for us we don't need the attention with all the strange messages running around." he said honestly as he started putting the laptop away walking off.

"I'm running on a schedule, we need to continue to talk but as I am walking and not using my board I need to get going and you are coming with me..." he said gently walking out of the park seriously not wanting to bring up Avalon while they where close to the school. Hearing her last comment he couldn't help but scowl Chloe but stopped his head lowering "Technology, no, but something is crashing and burning. I believe we may be the targets." he said his voice low almost depressed as he began to walk once more.

"Lo-tech?" Chloe frowns, "What strange messages?" She hurries to catch up with Advent, smirking, "Oh? Your finally serious about something?"
She catches the scowl Advent threw at her before he stopped for a moment, his voice low before continuing his stride, making Chloe pause for a second taking in what Advent had said before running to catch up with him again, "Targets? Do you mean all the factions or just the techs?"

"That's good to hear." Jayden laughs, his expression growing more amused, "Better yourself? What do you mean?" he scratches his head, "Sure. I'm guessing Chloe is already up?"

Kenji

Kenji lowered his head once more feeling the other's attention on him “No, apologies Vincent.” he quickly responded, he knew he was psychotic and wanted to destroy everything but he was loyal to Vincent as he had proved worthy of it, that and that was because personality wise they where similar. “Yes, I can feel the change but for me the chaos is subtle... I would suggest we proceed with caution.” It wasn't like him to think with his head however he knew first had this had to be dangerous as it even seemed to have drawn Vincent's attention so much. “Perhaps we shouldn't remove them but enslave them.” he said shrugging his shoulders a little as he looked up once more not moving from his knelt position in front of Vincent. “Hime chan? Why should I bother about him no one wants that weakling, he's puny.” his voice filled with venom when speaking about his younger sibling. “And if anyone does take my blood bag then I'll kill them it's as simple as that!” his voice was cold but it was easy to see he was angry about the prospect of someone else torturing his brother.

“Vincent, I would like to bring up something that was brought to me earlier this morning from poison.” he said looking to his superior not daring to move “It would seem our new Ryuujin has said something to another girl in the park in east side Tokyo” he said calmly “Apparently we have a no casualty rule I wasn't aware of.” It confused the hell out of him as he himself and Vincent enjoyed hunting and taking out unsuspecting victims for the crimson nectar that was contained within the mass they call flesh “Have I been breaking rules for the last three years?” not that he cared if he did this was his thing and he enjoyed it so he would rather be kicked out the vamps than give up how he was, he was changing for no fucker.

Advent

“Yes lo-tech as unless we really need to use it we don't use it or we fall back to older methods where it will be harder to track us.” he wasn't joking at it was easy to see “I can't say, and especially not out here who knows who's listening.” Advent was always protective of information but this time it was easily seen that it was more so than normal. He normally would share this information with her, as she was his second in command as far as he was concerned wither she wanted the position or not, but this was a little different as it also came to his personal life and so didn't want to get to it as much as possible. “Clo shut the hell up until you know what the fuck is going on and then you will see why I can't look at this as a game.” his voice was harsh something it had never been, not once since he had joined the Techs had he acted this way.

“I don't have all information yet I can only speculate but right now we are at the calm before the storm and it isn't just us I believe all skulls are at a risk, but my priority is to make sure my faction is safe and protected before all others.” he sighed continuing to walk down the street “We can't really talk about this in public so we can do it at my home.” with that his pace picked up knowing if he kept at the pace he was at the moment then he was going to get home late “Damn hunters, making my life difficult.” he growled lowly to himself.

Chloe frowns, hearing the anger in Advent's voice as well as him telling her to shut up. This was clearly a different side to him, maybe she had pushed things a bit too far this time..

"Your house?" As far as Chloe knew, none of the tech skulls had been to Advent's house, usually if the faction met, it would be one of the hang outs or everyone just hijacked her flat. And no one knew anything about Advent's personal life..

This made Chloe more than a bit nervous, Why is he's taking me to his house? Does he know? Studying Advent, Chloe tries to tell by his body language but gives up, this felt like an execution but she probably deserved whatever was coming her way..

Jayden follows Zaki into the kitchen and watches him shuffle through the cabinets, "Early?" he frowns, "Did she tell you what this thing was she had to take care of, Zaki?"

He had a sinking feeling he knew what Chloe was up to and if so, his hands were tied.. if he went around Makoto again, Roland would probably be strangling him with his own guts..

Turning his attention back to Zaki, "Yeah, that sounds fine with me. I'll hit the shower while you make it."

Kenji


Kenji watched the other's movement's carefully as he always done knowing that Vincent's body language and actions would give him more information than anything else “This is true Vincent, in many ways will is the hardest thing to take..” he paused smirking “but then taking it after giving that tiny glimpse of hope makes it ever so much more fore-filling.” just thinking about it he shivered a little in delight. Even when he was circled Kenji remained like a gargoyle unmoving his guard down to show that he was neither a threat and that his life was Vincent's to do with as he wished. “That twerp is smart as hell I'll give him that but my family sees him as a failure as he will not fight, though it is tradition.” he stated coldly, not that he was to bothered as it gave him a meal ticket if he got hungry and didn't want to hunt.

Kenji nodded once to the question “Yes, as surly as it rained yesterday.” he stated not even taking time to think on such a matter. The one that had the name Poison within the faction was many things but he knew better than to lie to Kenji. “I thought that you may have wished to know, and as for it being added in your absence that is impossible as the other Ryuujin when missing before you did and no one else has that right.” he said calmly in a disciplined tone, as Vincent snapped a little after the rant he nodded as he was the same with it came to being able to choose a persons fate somehow it just made him giddy thinking about it.

“I believe it is wise to prevent further disarray and confusion within the ranks.” he said standing picking up his ninjato as he did so. “If you wish I will accompany you, I have little to do, and I have yet to meet Kimiko” he said looking to his superior as he awaited orders.

Advent

Advent looked over his shoulder as Chloe seemed to be thrown off balance by what he had said “Oh sorry.. Do you have somewhere else to be that this can wait?” his tone was slightly cold and sarcastic, both showing that anything but 'no' might have made her life a living nightmare “I wouldn't normally do this but unfortunately I don't have the luxury today to go somewhere away from my house to talk to you.” his voice calm as his speed picked up once more but soon he stopped in front of what seemed like a dilapidated house and walked up the stairs to the door. “This is where I live Chloe, please don't tell anyone.” with that he walked in waiting for her to come in before closing the door.

The inside of the house was completely different from the outside, it was well maintained and easily filled with luxuries. Advent placed down his messenger bag before walking to the kitchen starting to get things out of cupboards and fridge before getting everything else he needed “Do you want something?” He had calmed down and seemed like a different person once again almost disciplined in how he was acting, he knew this was going to be bad for him but in the end it would be the best thing, or at least he thought so.

Chloe sighs at Advent's question, "Do I really have a say in this matter?" Biting her lip as he picked up even more speed, she had to practically jog to keep up with him, "Just surprised me, that's all."

Seeing him walk up the steps of what appeared to be a dilapidated house, made Chloe hesitate, okay.. I didn't know he was related to the Addam's family.. "Don't worry, only way any of the other techs will get the information out of me is to torture me." besides, pretty sure most of them wouldn't have interest in meeting Uncle Fester in the first place.

She follows him inside and blinks, seeing the difference of the inside to the outside. She kind of knew Advent had money. Watching Advent work in the kitchen, "Um, I had something to eat before we met up." she responds before gazing around the kitchen, wondering how the inside looked much better cared for than the outside, it was almost like..

Chloe's eyes land back on Advent, she had never seen him without the scarf wrapped around his eyes, she had never thought about it as anything more than just a strange fashion statement but now.. it made her wonder..

Advent

Advent never paid attention the what Chloe said as they both knew if he needed to he'd just kidnap her for how long she was needed. He understood how it would be surprising considering no one knew where he lived in his faction he like to keep the two separate as his father could be used against him and it was something he would prevent even if it was kind of isolating him from the others.

He smiled faintly hearing that no one would find out "Thank you, I don't want any untoward problems coming here." his voice was low as he started cooking contently, chopping vegetables with a quick speed "I'm making chicken noodle soup are you sure you don't want any?" he moved his head to where the televisions was "What do you think about my father's home?" he said starting to make the stock for the soup. "You look deep in thought are you okay?"

"Your father's home?" Chloe had never thought about Advent living with his parents, sometimes he acted like he was raised in a jungle.. all was missing was a loin cloth and well..

"It's certainly.. different." she muses, "Through you might want to get work done to the outside, kind of reminds me of one of those Haunted Mansions. And I'm fine.. just have had quite a bit on my mind lately, you know. And I guess I should tell you, me and Zaki, we're officially dating now.."

She watches him as he makes the soup, "I'll be fine, thanks for offering."

Lost in a few thoughts, the sound of Zaki's voice broke in. Huh?
Chloe glances down at her wrist, remembering the watch that Zaki had given her the day before and for some reason, she doubt Zaki had told Advent that these three watches existed.

"Hey, I'm going to go and use your restroom quickly." she stammers out quickly before darting down the hall, finally locating a restroom, locking the door before leaning against it.

"Yea, I can hear you." Chloe pauses for a moment, "Zaki, did you tell Advent about making these watches?"

Kenji

“As you wish” his voice calm following Vincent almost like a body guard would do “It has been so long since we've hadn't an outing that hasn't ended up with us killing someone.” he said starting to strap his sword to his belt as he continued to walk “Busy comes with territory however Vincent we both know this.” as as they both hated it from time to time it was a necessary sacrifice they had dome each in their own way walking through the door he closed it behind himself “so where do you think she'll be?” he finally asked knowing they had no idea where the hell she would be or at least so he thought so.

Walking down the hall he knew exactly where the other was going and though he had no idea why he took that violin with him practically everywhere he went he know better than to question Vincent on it so walked down the hallway quietly waiting till his superior got the item that he wanted. He moved towards the first floor. “You think we should search old or new Tokyo? The park they where in yesterday was in the new side of it, so it seems that she maybe wealthy.” he said yawning a little.

Advent

Advent nodded a faint smile on his face “I'm only seventeen not old enough to live on my own yet legally.” it was the truth but then at the same time even if he was legal enough to move out he doubted he would have much of a choice when it came to leaving considering the metaphorical collar and leash he had on was so tight that he was unable to breath in any form of the word his head going to the stock he needed for the soup as he covered his mouth yawning a bit he would just be getting up at the moment from falling a sleep in his room being the second part of his sleeping ritual for the last four years “You didn't take me for a morning person I guess” he said remembering what she had said earlier “I go to sleep around ten in the evening, am up before dawn the next day make food for my father and I, do some chores and go back to sleep about nine am, I am normally awake again about eleven but to today is working strangely.” he sighed hearing his father laughing at something

“Different?” he sounded confused as far as he knew things where fine inside and out “Outside needs work?” he sounded genuinely surprised as he he asked her sighing once more taking a mental note “If I knew then it wouldn't look like a haunted mansion as you called it.” he said he was a bit hurt that Chloe would say that about his home but he couldn't argue with it as she was entitled to her own thoughts and opinions on things. “Hmm? That's fine, just keep any drama that happens at the door I don't need discord, imbalance and tension within our group.” she said starting to move some herbs into the pot. He had no idea why she was telling him about her and Zaki as far as he was concerned it had nothing to do with anyone until it started to cause changes for the worse.

Advent's ear tweaked hearing Zaki's voice, he knew for a fact only she knew where he lived and that she wasn't using a cell phone as there was no ringing, vibration and it remained showing no life. "hmm... if you go through that door there." he stated moving his hand allowing Chloe to exit as he continued to make the soup "Seems like Zaki has made a watch device that works like a walkie talkie... very interesting" he shook his head "Still there was no reason for her to pretend that she needed to go to the toilet..." one thing he couldn't stand was liars.

Once him and Kenji where ready to leave, they left heading down the street but knowing how Vincent was he hated traveling by the ground cause of all hunters and commotions that have happened in the last few days to him it was far more safe to travel the roof tops. Once out side making his way over to the fire escape making his way to the roof top looked about. "You said the park right? I feel she could be there by her addittued." was all he could say then leaping on to another building.

--

"Chloe~ I had this bad feeling you where going to do something crazy. What are you doing?" he asked as he heard her question. "Ummmm no? Cause I only made just three." he said to her.

Kenji

Kenji walked dutifully behind Vincent even though he was fully relaxed he was ready to attack if and when needed on a seconds notice. "Do you think it wise to be out with all the commotion that's happened recently Vincent?" he knew with what had happening and the ill feeling in the air he didn't think it was wise but knew when Vincent had made his mind up that was it so would push the conversation no further.

Seeing the fire exit he sighed a little "Are we really having to jump again?" He hated going rooftop to rooftop but he knew that it was also the safest method for them with the tension that was building in the city. "Well that is where Poison said he seen her..." he clarified as he started climbing up behind Vincent. Getting to the roof he snickered a little "Are you sure she's in the right faction if she wants a no casualty rule?"

"I'm with Advent at the moment, he's wanting us to go lo-tech and I don't think us using the watches right now is a smart idea." Chloe speaks into the watch, pausing. She had been stupid not to think Zaki would pick up the signs that she was going to do something but she didn't want him involved anymore than he already was, "And me doing something crazy? What gave you that impression? Don't worry, I'm not doing anything crazy, I'll be back at the flat as soon as I can."

It was sweet that he worried about her and well, she did drink a whole cup of coffee before meeting Advent.. might as well as use the faculties since she was already there as well as to hear Zaki's reply before flicking the watch off.

After all business was done, she walks back to the kitchen, finding Advent still busy with the soup, "Sorry about that, those cups of coffee should come with a warning sticker, they are quite lethal to one's bladder."

The shower had felt good as Jayden dried himself off and put on his normal working clothes. Hanging up the towel, he walks back into the kitchen, noting Zaki's worried look. Pulling out a carton of orange juice and two glasses, Jayden pours both of them a glass of OJ and sits them on the table, wishing there was something he could say to stop the poor guy from worrying too much..

Kenji

"I know it's safer for us to travel like this doesn't I have to like it, it uses a lot more energy than should be required." he sneered a bit removing his ninjato from his side and moving it so it would rest on his back as it was easier to move and he didn't have to worry about it falling from his sides "Fucking hunters, we really need to do something with our vermin infestation."he said watching as Vincent ran and jamp to the next roof before following.

Landing lightly in a crouch he stood up dusting himself off "I knew I should have work my training garb instead of this, less flexible.." he knew that something like this was bound to happen but he still liked wearing what he classed as his casual clothing.

Advent

He had seen the goings on of Chloe but continued to make his soup wondering if she would come clean before he decided to kick her out and forget what he had seen earlier. By the time she came out there was an older man standing in front of the counter and advent had his head lowered as if looking at the floor "I told you I would do my studies father and I will, but your lunch comes first because of your medication." it would seem as if she had come in half way through a conversation. Both Advent and his father turned their heads to look at her "U-umm.. father this is my friend Chloe she helps me when I'm outside." he said quietly the father smiled "Nice to meet you miss." he looked back to his son.

"Chloe if you go down that hall take the first turn on the right and then two doors on the right is my room I'll be there shortly and we can talk." he said waiting for her to leave as he had instructed. When she finally did Advent's father growled his eyes narrowing at his son "Matray," his voice stern, Advent couldn't help but flinch "Not to... but there is a reason father... I promise it won't happen again." he said only to fall hard on the floor as he was hit hard by the back of his fathers had a bruise almost instantly emerging "Make sure it doesn't Matray." he scolded walking off.

Advent got up rubbing his cheek "Yes father I will make sure." he continued as he went to wash his hands once more before looking at how the soup was "This was the last thing I needed at the moment." sighing he got some bowls out and placed some soup into them. moving to the table he placed his fathers down before going to get a tray for his and Chloe's soup. putting the bowls and spoons on the tray he headed towards his room.

Advent's room wasn't something you would expect for him as the room was very basic holding only a bed and a wardrobe in the upper left corner of the room there was violin and a flute case, but it was obvious that nothing had ever been placed on them and more astonishing was the fact the room never had anything that used technology. "So what where you and Zaki talking about?" he asked holding the tray forward so she could take a bowl.

Chloe paused, seeing she had walked into a middle of a conversion between Advent and his father, both of them pausing when she entered, Advent pausing long enough to introduce her to his father who had smiled at her, "Nice to meet you too." She curtsies even through she had formed a dislike instantly for this man, manners had been one thing her father had drilled into her, more often if she didn't done something right, she had felt the slap of her father's hand across her face or locked in her room til she saw what error she had done.

Glancing at Advent as he told her where to go, she quietly leaves the kitchen, she had only gone a few steps before hearing Advent's father say a name she had never heard before.

Pushing the door open to a shock, the room was very not Adventish. She knew her room back at home wasn't nothing to brag about but the items in there reflected who she was. Walking over to the bed, she sits down, waiting for Advent who walked in a few minutes later, holding a tray with two bowls of soup and spoons, offering her one and asking what she and Zaki were talking about, she might as well as come clean over that one.

Lifting a hand to take one of the bowls, her eyes land on Advent's cheek and the bruise, "What happened?" she asks, her voice concerned, Did his father do that? "And Zaki was just checking up on me, he thought I was going to do something crazy. I guess I should of told you about the watches he made, he only had the chance to do three.. he gave me one, kept one for himself and the third was for Avalon, he knows how much I worry about her.. but I was so angry at her this morning, I forgot to give it to her before she went to school." she takes one of the bowls and a spoon, "Thank you."

Moving again once Kanji had made his way across, Vincent moved on to lead the the way tot he park it was going to take a bit since it was in the new part of the city crossing over would be a bit stuff. But still none the less this was matter he needed to settle. There was no way a thing was with in the group and it was a bother so it was starting to grind on his nerves some. The more he thought about it the more it put his mood into a foul place.

Each time he would land, it would make dent into the roof top he would land on people looking out the windows to see what was happening. The Vampire Ryuujin was doing everything he could to keep him self in check but was already work to be done and taken care of. "Kenji, I am thinking some, how should we address the situation?" as he looked back now leaping from roof top to roof top not even watching where he needed to step.

--

Zaki looked and Jay sighed some finished making everything placed it evenly on both plates and put them down. "Here you are Jay, hope you like it." he smiled at him.

Advent

Advent smiled sitting on the floor placing the tray down his hand feeling around the tray for the spoon and picked up his spoon “You're welcome. It's the first time I've made food for someone who doesn't live here in the house so I hope it's to your taste.” he said contently not worrying to much about his hurt cheek “I fell.” he said smiling at if it was natural, it wasn't a complete lie considering he did fall to the floor “I wouldn't worry about it I fall quite often.” he just went to eating quietly though listened to what the other had to say about zaki worrying about her doing something crazy “Why would he think you would do something crazy Chloe?” he asked before taking another mouthful of his soup “I can understand that after all he does love you and knows how much worry for her...” he tipped his head forward a little beginning to eat once more happily “You can ask away any questions you want here.”

Kenji

Kenji kept up rooftop to rooftop always landing with little to no noise as he had been taught to do. “You really wanted to take the scenic route didn't you Vincent.” he sighed landing on the next roof he had turn off six roofs back on what he should be doing it was like his body was set on auto pilot. “I believe we are now in Candy territory.” he explained noticing the difference in the buildings “I would suggest we proceed with care in this territory.” he cracked a smirk “But then their kind is to sickly for my pallet, perhaps your counter part would like them after all she likes to be sweet.” he rolled his eyes laughing a little “Keep grinding your teeth like that and your going to have to get new fangs made” he said before jumping to the next rule. “You're the leader so how should I know.” he said calmly “However if it was my decision I'd say ditch the bitch as she seems to be more trouble than she's worth.” he already disliked the new Ryuujin and had yet to meet her.

"You don't get much company, do you?" Chloe watches Advent as he feels around the spoon, her brow furrowing, "And I heard your father use a name, Matray? Is that your real name?" she knew she shouldn't stick her nose into his personal business, as she took a spoonful of the soup, "This is quite good." she was being honest, these days she rarely had anything homemade, between trips to Avalon's doctor visits, faction matters and working at the nightclub, she never had time to make anything straight from scratch.

"I honestly don't know why he would think that." Chloe quietly took another spoonful of the soup, she wanted to be completely honest with Advent, she knew the tech rules and what she was planning would break a big one.
