She sighed. "Sorry, i have been doing this for a short while, but i depend on distractions and such for what needs to be done." she said to him. "And i done mind, i want to." she said as she looked away. She smiled. "I hope you dont mind me asking this, but what happened to the others? The ones before us?" she asked him. She waited for his answer.

Alister sat against the wall with his head tilted down. The guild was in some serious trouble. Why could no-one else come to help. They needed more members. This group of Hodge podge was not going to be enough. The undead woman was inexperienced. The performer knew nothing. And even their leader seemed a little to confident in his abilities. He himself wasn't perfect, but this was going to take a lot of work for everyone to be on the same page.

Alister lie there and tilted his head toward the sky "mother, father." He said to himself "what do I do?" He asked them. Though they were not there in person he could still feel their presence in the hall. They were so good at what they did. How could the assassin's of old have fallen.

Shadow sighes and then looks to the ground before lifting his head again. " We were set in our ways. There was very little we couldn't take on alone. But then as a group what could hope to keep up with us. Well if you didn't hear about it. The world governments joined together to deploy an assault force on us. We figured they would be easy so the lesser members ran out first and challenged them all. They died fast. So those of us with more skills bought time for the others to pull back. In the end I was the only real line of protection for anyone in the base. Those that went to prison were all injured and I was keeping them safe. Yes I have a lot of skills. But I don't have a damn thing that can stop a fucking tank blowing up the wing your hiding in. While I'm sure of what I can do. I know I have limits and there are things that I can't do at all. I'm the last of the old guild. I'm going to start training you to be the next guild masters. But we can't do this with just four members total. We will need more than us. Thus why I sent out invites. It's a shame to see so few of you replied to them though.

Owl arrived, he quietly listened to Shadow's explanation about the rules of which room could be taken, as well as the fall of the old guild. "Invites are dangerous." He admitted at last, "it only takes one person to show the message to the police. It would blow the entire cover of this place."

She looks at Shadow. "I'm so sorry." She said. She was not happy to hear what he said. She sighed. She hoped she might offer some protection. She looked at Owl. "Ok i admit, you have a point." She said to Owl.

There is one thing you both failed to notice" he said with a sigh. He cracked his neck and opened his invite. "There is no return address. Nor does it say who it is to or from" he pointed to all the defining marks. "For all anyone could know you just found that somewhere. Or it was some prank you were trying to pull" he sighed putting away the letter "not to mention this is a secret location that's almost impossible to find and he was the only one here." He pointed to shadow "you seriously think a master assassin of that caliber wasn't prepared for someone to eat out his location. Sheesh" Alister shook his head looking away. This was obvious to him but he thought maybe he had crossed some sort of line in the way. He spoke.

Shadow shrugs and then sighes. " I do have plans for if things turn south here. Being raised here I know everything I need too to get the hell out of here in a flash. But I trust that I won't be needing to do that right now. So anyone else have anything else to bring up. Don't bother hiding it if you do. Won't do you any good to keep a question or problem hidden. "

Owl sighed, Alistar had made an excellent point, it made him look embarrassing. "Then if that's the case then we're the only three who we're foolish enough to follow a message with no address." The Performer said, "No, I got no more questions." He replied to Shadow.

Alister let out a small sigh and conceded "no I'm good" he said with a shrug. However there was something he wanted to ask. But he knew it would be stupid. The guild leaded doesn't seem to care about them as much as he seems to claim he cares more about restoration of the guild more than anything else. "We can continue if you like" he said softly. Alister hung his head leaning back on the wall next to him. This was bound to be interesting but why were they chosen anyways. Nothing seems to matter at this point so why them. The grouping was so random. What is going on.

Owl coughed into his fist, it felt like nothing was going on. "Will we retire for the night?" He asked Shadow.

Shadow nods and then turns to head to his room. " Don't get to comfortable though. You never know when you will be ripped out of sleep and thrown into training. So I advise you get used to sleeping light and train yourself to wake to any motion near you." He then vanishes into his own room and locks the door behind him. Setting a few traps that were built into the frame of the door just in case.

Alister gave a small sigh and walked outside. He didn't sleep most nights so he figured. Might as well spend it outside. Walking away he turns and with a running start makes his way to the rooftop. Sitting utop the manor he looked to the stars and lit himself a cigarette

She sighed and walked outside too. She stood under Alister. "You mind if i join you?" she asked him as she jumped up in one bound. She landed gently on her toes. She looked at him and sat next to him. She then looked up at the stars.

Alister looked over at V and sighed taking a drag from his cigarette. "What's up?" He asked her still looking. He knew there had to be a reason she was up there. She hasn't really interacted with him before now

She looked at him. "Cant a girl hang out with a cute boy?" she asked with a mischievous grin on her face. "I mean what i said was true...." she said to him. She then sat up. She sat up. She sniffed at him. "Jesus even your blood smells cute." she said as she pointed to the small scratch she had given him. "And sorry about that." she said as she pulled out a small bowl and tossed to to him. "Is a healing ointment i made, it will help with it." she said.

Alister gave a small smile and took the ointment. He was offput by her comment. Had she displayed an attraction or was she simply trying to trick him. He could not tell so he tried to avoid it "thank you for the aid" she said with a small smile and took another drag from his cigarette

With nothing more to do Owl went to bed.

She smiled and got up. "I think ill gp for a hunt before i go to bed." she said to him. She then jumped off the roof and did exactly that, She hunted and then went to bed.

(Sorry about that, i hit the reply button to early. I have had a long tiring day....and a some what maddening day too. We had to get new numbers, not of our own free will.)

Alister sighed happily and finished his cigarette and laid utoo the manor for the remainder of the night

After years of training Shadow found it very hard to get any sleep. So instead he focused on making a few things with the items that were still in the room. " Going to have to visit an herb shop soon. Running out of the damn root again. " He muttered to himself as the sun started to rise. He glanced out the window and shakes his head before undoing the door traps and heading down to the kitchen to start working on food.
