shylarahMarius nodded to Kiri and quickly rushed to the black car, keys in hand as he opened the drivers side door.
He also wondered the IISO's deal with just dropping off a cursed child like that right in front of Miss Kiri. Sure, from what he gathered, the IISO did sometimes pull some weird decisions and such but this...
All the same, he kept his mind on the job and started the car up. Seeing that the gas tank was full and nothing else seemed wrong with the car, he then pulled out in reverse slowly then made the turn towards Miss Kiri to save trouble from doing a U-turn when they had to leave.
As he pulled up alongside Kiri, Marius lowered the window and said, "What's the word Ma'am? She also coming with us? And what did I miss with those IISO members there exactly?"

Marius stood quiet for the longest time while Kiri took her calls. He decided to go with the black vechile. Though considering the choice of cars, any of them would have stood out. Though the black one was more common to him than the others for the business types..
Checking around and inside, he was lucky to find the keys in the glove compartment. He then checked his equipment over.
"...were ready", Marius called to Kiri as he stood at attention like some of the other guards. Full time or merc, he respected the protocol around here when it came down to business.
He then noted the "witch" comment from someone then he saw the IISO members who were just leaving and a little girl who appeared to be a cursed child at Kiri's feet curled up and all with a furry-looking tail.
Walking away from the car and back to Miss Kiri, his hand on the hilt of his Varaium Katana, he then asks, "...any trouble here?"

Marius instantly got up from the chair in Kiri's room when she addressed him. Quickly picking up and slingling his gun, Last Gamble, back on his back, he then followed Miss Kiri out of the office.
From the sounds of it, there was a possible situation involving a Gastrea. Judging from her statements, it sounded like a crime scene right now so his experience maybe needed.
While he walked with her to the elevator, he drew the top card from his deck and showed it to Kiri.
Ace of Clubs.
"...you know...your intuition scares me sometimes Kiri", Marius says with a smile.

"...you know...your intuition scares me sometimes Kiri", Marius says with a smile.
"Of course Kiri. Same as usual though. Your vice knows when you have to leave to attend to other matters. Might not have to even tell him", Marius responds to Kiri's request.
Much like Kiri, Marius leans back and also stares at the ceiling. Perhaps thinking about business as well as other important matters.
Then Marius decided to tell her about his presence here today.
"Miss Kiri...if you must know, I wasn't called her on just bodyguard duties. Your father called me in to do as you just said and more. He wants me to to go along with your new recruits and assist with this 'possible' Gastrea situation. It was quite a surprise for me too when you consider his overprotective nature."
Taking a deep breath, he then fished around his pants pocket and brought out a familiar deck of normal playing cards. He then began to shuffle them as he continued to speak while still looking at the ceiling.
"...more important, I've also hit my own set of problems. For one, financial problems. Mercenary work doesn't really cut it much these days with everyone relying on Civil Security groups, the IISO and such. Doesn't help either that my old Civil Security group have been harassing me to return to work with them. But eh...they blew it when I saw how quick to hatred they wanted to release on someone. And treason charges would do that nicely. Despite their apologies, I rather take my chances on the streets. Even more so with...'him' still lurking out there...somewhere..."
Marius then stopped shuffling the deck then drew the top card. Looking down at the card he drew, he saw a queen of hearts.
He then turned the card around to show it to Kiri then said, "Next card. High or low? Guess correctly and I'll also let you in on something I have a hunch on..."

Marius then decided to settle down since it seemed Kiri had made up her mind to trust Mr. Hitoshi.
"As you say Miss Kiri. Just make sure about him all the same."
Marius then took a seat finally in one of the fancy chairs set in front of Kiri's desk in this room it seemed. Unslinging "Last Gamble" from his back and placing it next to his chair, he then watches the girl, Yuki he believed her name was called, say she was stepping out.
When Yuki had left, Marius asks, "Miss Kiri. Is this the Promoter and Initiator duo you told me about the last time I was working a job here? You seemed to be well aquainted with them."

Marius listened to the Initiator's story on the man and from the sound of it, this Masanori Hitoshi was indeed an IISO member but what bothered him was his history with his own Initiator. He even spied the Initiator in the room take out what looked liked cat ears and some glue of sorts and perhaps saw that they were indeed friends.
"...Mr. Hitoshi...let me ask you this. I would question your mental stability after such a horrible loss but if you plan to go solo, do you at least have custom weaponry or any weapon tailored-made to fight Gastra creatures? Because if you just tried to come in here with no credentals and just the clothes on your back, I suggest you look for work elsewhere and try to put your life back together before going back to IISO work", Marius asks.
Marius still had his hand on the hilt of his Varanium Katana but didn't draw it from his sheath. He did feel sorry for Hitoshi but it seemed that, to Marius anyway, that he was just a desperate man looking for a way back into the IISO job.

Marius didn't take his seat though despite Kiri's request to do so. While he noted the Promoter Initiator pair, with the Promoter holding that Desert Eagle still, he then took note of the man on the office table in front of Kiri.
Then he heard the request he made.
"...suspicious...a Promoter who refuses to work with an Initiator? Tell me, who are you again, what IISO division do you work for and why did it seem like you tried to FORCE your way in here? People don't wind up on office desks around this place unless they caused some sort of trouble."
Marius then put one hand on his Varanium Katana but didn't draw it just yet.

Marius then put one hand on his Varanium Katana but didn't draw it just yet.
As Marius walked in, he then saw...no one.
"...nother room then", Marius thought as he backed out of the room.
"Oh Marius", a nearby guard said with a salute. "Sorry but it seems Miss Kiri is in the next room over there. She's getting to know the new recruits."
"So there's some new faces to this job...well ok then", Marius responds with a nod as he heads towards the nearby room.
What he walks into is what looks like a heated argument of sorts...with one man pointing a Desert Eagle pistol at another.
"...Hello Miss Kiri...I would ask what is happening here that there's a man with his weapon drawn in your office but...I'd just assumed 'business as usual'...", Marius says as he walks into the room.

A little while later, the second guard came back outside and said, "Marius. You've been cleared entry. Miss Kiri awaits in her office floor."
"I've been here before. Don't worry though. I'll behave", Marius responds with a nod.
The guards allow him through as he begins walking through the lobby. Some people recognize him simply due to his red clothing. Some nod and some say hello. Same stuff, different day. Only now, he maybe here for more than simply baby-sitting a president who could probably kick his rear as much as he hated to admit that.
Approaching the elevator, the guard there gives a salute and Marius returns it with a simple nod as he enters. He then presses the button that would take him to the exclusive floor.
...well at least she's easy to work with. Least I know what I'm getting into with this place...just wish the father would lighten up some..., Marius thought as the doors opened.
Sure enough, two guards at the elevator entrance on that floor but they both nodded to him.
"Miss Kiri is in her office and as always Marius, mind your manners and the current happenings in there", the guard said.
"...oh here we go", Marius responds. That last part meaning something was already going on.
After a brief walk in the hallway, Marius saw the fancy doors and a nearby guard opened it. And he entered president Kiri's office...

Outside of the corporate building, what looks like a taxi pulls up to the front of the building. The two guards there were curious as to who the visitor was.
The taxi driver, though, did show some nervousness to the passenger he was dropping off. The drivers fears, though, were calmed when the passenger gave him a tip along with the fare money and a pat on his shoulder.
The two guards at the gate, though, had their hands on their pistol hostlers when the man stepped out with what looked liked a nasty looking rifle and a japanese sword, the rifle just being slung onto his back and the japanese sword at his side in it's sheath.
One of the two, though, recognized him as sort of a regular here.
"Hey. He's cool", the first guard said, taking his hand off his hostler.
"You sure? This guy looks like he's ready to storm the place one-man-army style", the other said.
"He's a mercenary. Though a frequently hired one by the president's father. Guy's name is Marius "Kyosuke" Twilight."
The other guard's eyes widen in recognition of the name. Even he had heard the stories about that man. Although he quit his civil security job due to being accused of treason, he exposed his higher ranking official to treason against the IISO which led that guy, Hazama if that was his middle name, having the biggest death mark slash bounty in all the known Monolith's out there. While this Marius guy was a merc, he heard rumors that he had either brought in or even killed some nasty individuals or Gastra threatening innnocent lives. Whether those rumors were true or not he didn't know.
But what he DID know was that this corporation was known to hire the guy when they needed some expertise over some gun-crazy individuals with no brains.
"Marius", the first guard said with a salute. The second guard then saluted him as well.
"Hello", Marius simply said with the nod. He then said, "Can you please inform president Kiri that I'm here for work by her fathers orders please?"
"Of course. Though I should have figured as much that he'd ask you to come", the first guard said. Pointing to the second guard, he nodded and headed inside to pass the message to the front desk so they can contact Kiri.
Marius simply waited patiently outside with the remaining guard. Based on what he was told, this job could get nasty...
