She looked at Kobe and then sighed. "You ok?" she asked him as she pulled the gun out of his hand and put it away. She frowned. "What just happened to you?" she asked him as she helped him sit up.

"I fell down," he stated.

"Why are you taking my gun? It belongs to me."

Kobae felt a fine peppermint taste, like it was refined from wax. Then, five seconds of tinnitus. And then, a quivering jump from inside his chest that lit him up, if only in the moment where he infused fight with all the other emotions and senses.

"I tell you[cough] I need my gun back. And sincerely, when you touch me, I feel your unholiness."

She looked at him and then frowned. "Stop being an ass. im a goddess...." she said as she got up and tossed it at him. She looked at him and sighed. "Why dose almost every one i meet say that about me?" she asked them. She frowned.

She looked at him and then frowned. "Stop being an ass. im a goddess...." she said as she got up and tossed it at him. She looked at him and sighed. "Why dose almost every one i meet say that about me?" she asked them. She frowned.

(Having trouble with internet can some one delete one of my responses?)

Alister laughed a little "hey I may not be religious but I still never said that to you" he said with a smile

Shadow sits on a chair that he brough out to the roof of the guild. looking up at the watch tower he tracks the sun a bit before looking back to the notes that his father left behind. "So nothing more than a glorified weapon. Thats all i ever was to you." He shakes his head " Well looks like the Weapon out lived the owner and is free. But its interesting you lied to me about my shadow. A split entity... I can use that." His eyes move to the trees and he shakes his head. "Going to have to test it first though. cant just have it follow people with out knowing what it can and cant do."

She looked at him and sighed. "I said ALMOST every one i have met." she said to him as she kissed his cheek. She smiled as she did.

"A goddess? You are. . ." He noticed the man he met inside of the headquarters. He eyed him, looked back at the goddess, and asked her when he said, "Is that the maestro?"

She looked at him. "No, im a literal incarnation of a goddess." she said to him. She looked at him blankly. "Whats a maestro?" she asked him. She had never herd that term before.

"Well, you look the part."

Kobae had a lusty thought about the incarnate presence. He was not the one to communicate, namely because he had a mountain of secrets to hide. There was this beautiful woman, and his past was as haunted as could be... how many men and women he had lied to or stolen from, and the demonic entities he had pursued and buried, or beheaded, or set on fire. He was cautious, he had to be. And, he smoked a small piece of the cigarette before he grimaced and realized something was missing.

"Do you have my gun?"

She smiled. And then pointed to where she tossed to to. It was laying just behind him.

He picked up his gun, and once more placed it in his back. He averted his eyes back to the woman, and smiled for a second before he smoked his cancer stick, then he offered it to her with a question.

"I'm immortal. I kill the living and the dead as my means of living. Not for money or anything, it's what I like to do. Now, a lot has happened today. At least some. Now, I'm not hiding nothing from you. But... we could become partners, and I think you agree that we should stay honest, and respectful. I was drunk earlier, I don't recall doing bad, but who knows. And, I haven't experienced any bad come to me, but a head slam... so, I want to know, since we are respectful, otherworldly people, I want to know something I can call you. Your name?"

She looked at him and sighed. "The names V." she said to him. She had not let anyone know her real name so far. She looked at him and sighed. "If you want to become my partner....Get rid of the booze and stench of religion off you, and stop calling me 'unclean.'" she said to him.

Alister narrowed his eyes at the word 'partner'. He became mildly offended by kobaes words and he lay his hand on his gun until he heard V agree to him on set conditions. His hand slowly moved to his pocket and he pulled a cigarette out and went for a walk without a word said or a sound made

She grabbed his the collar of his shirt and pulled him back to her. "And he gets to be a part of it to." she said to him. "And, you do not betray us or do anything of hostile intent to us." she said as she looked at him.

Kobe was a little amiss about what was going on. He saw Alister getting ready to jump, but he stalled by scratching his head. Then, V. handled him and Kobe was released, but stood next to her smiling at her. "V., thank you. It's like he doesn't understand that I came here for union. I don't know what makes him so mad. I don't know if it's the past.. I mean, I don't know."

"Just so you know," he said unrooting his flask and shooting two shots too fast, "we're both immortal. One kind is from hell, mine came from a wild mix of chromosomes and a strange worshiping of the occult."

She looks at him. "Im not from hell." she said to him as she shock her head. "When will people get it....IM NOT LIKE OTHER VAMPIRES....religion dose not effect me other than the smell of it. i bleed, im like any other human being except for my powers and my diet....SO GET THAT STRAIT before i send you to hell." she said to him.

(Bout to go play Bayonetta, be back in a bit.)

Was he crazy, desperate, or just curious? Why did he decide to do this? Was it on a whim? He never trusted before...why would he trust a group of people he's never met? Tch...where he came from, he didn't trust the very people who trained him and sent him out on missions. He had every right to be. he was just property to them just like the other child soldiers he trained with. #27 or codename: Fix, was on his way to this...guild he learned about through the message he read. A message he ended up getting from another assassin he encountered, who was after the same target as he was after. part of him felt this was a test but he had to remember, he was no longer in that former organization but if it was a test, he felt he already passed it.

yes curiosity got the better of him but the true reason why #27 decided to check this guild out was because of freedom...new feeling he had since the organization he grew up in suffered a schism and the majority on the side he was on either was killed or escaped. Being used to organizational structure, he'd feel like home taking this opportunity to join this new group. Were they like his former comrades or were they incompetent? Well...he was going to find out.

#27 walked up to the compound to make his way in. He didn't know what to expect but he was on guard just in case. he just wanted to meet the one that sent the letter to get clarification about the duties of this guild and the way it's structured. He makes his way in....

Even where he was Shadow still knew where everyone was in the guild. He watched the new arival enter and chuckles to himself as he walks to the edge of the roof and then drops down landing in front of a bush and starts to make his way around to the main enterance. While he could simply use any enterance he knows of its more fun to let them see him comeing. He pushes open the main doors and then heads back towards the main hall sitting area and the kitchen. taking the time to look at the past guild masters. "How many of you were like father?" He wonders out loud.

He noticed some one detouring up the slopes to the base. He did not get a good look, the eye spot was moving fast, and suddenly the guy disappeared. It piqued him even more when the secretive guild master, a man Kobe communicated with only once or maybe twice, swung around the house like a monkey evading a bat from hell and then darted back inside. Obviously, some one was rushing.

He looked at the playful vampiric goddess and asked her what she thought.
