I swear I don't do this on purpose ;-; b-but I posted ;-;

RWBY - Haze

As Felix offered her a wave, she smiled at him, offering a small wave in return. She had been (secretly) hoping that she could have gotten paired up with him, but perhaps it was for the best. This way they'd get to know more people...though she found herself hoping they could be friends anyway. As a small silence filled the group, Aurelia noticed that it was her turn to introduce herself. Seemed like despite her anxiety being gone, she was still somewhat awkward. Great. "Oh!" She exclaimed, letting out a somewhat embarrassed and nervous laugh. "Aurelia. A pleasure." She gave them a small smile, though she found herself looking at Felix again. She found herself waving at him again, hoping he would wave again.

"So this was fun so far." She found herself saying to the group, lightly letting Rampion's head drop to the ground as she was in a more relaxed state. "I was hoping for a little more challenge...though I personally think we're unstoppable." She chirped happily, motioning to Nevin and herself.

Despite Levi's refraining from divulging information, Roman found himself rather curious on what she did know. Francis would go on to state its affects on both citizens and monsters. No doubt things were going haywire. "I've heard similar reports from Rozarria, Dalmasca, and Bhujerba." Roman replied to Francis, lightly pulling out one of the papers from his stack. "So far there hasn't been any illnesses or deaths reported, it's more of a psychological effect on people. While ti is certainly better than hearing people dying, it is still somewhat troublesome, all things considered."

As Wesley left, Nadeline caught his look. Wordlessly she would stand from her seat and follow him. As Jaakuna would state there was nothing left to do but wait to get there, Emiri nodded. "I suppose so." She stated, though she did look after Nadeline. Nabudis would be a sensitive topic for Wesley. She wondered what happened, but when the time would come, she supposed he would say so. Instead she looked at Jaakuna. "Careful, you could fall and hurt yourself." She warned him.

Roman couldn't help but smile at Levi's honesty. He reminded her of a general he had met some time ago. Perhaps he too, found this a waste of time in all reality. Still, formalities were formalities...not that Levi cared about them, anyway. He listened to Francis, giving him a nod of acknowledgement. Still, as much as he didn't want to admit it, Reia was still a problem. He hoped that perhaps he could get through to her. That is, if she was even Empress after everything was said and done. Still at this point Levi would interject about the strong mist overtaking Ivalice.

"The problem is being taken care of, apparently." Roman stated, recalling his conversation with Isaiah. "Whatever happens, we must make sure panic doesn't spread. Although I am rather curious to hear your opinions."

Everyone fell silent after Wesley revealed the fate of the capital of Nabradia. It only figured that he would now the most about it, being Dalmascan. Nadeline wondered what more he wanted to say, though couldn't bring herself to ask. "I've heard about it, but I've never been there personally. Emiri broke the silence that had fallen over the room. "The Mist corrupts and twists the monsters there...more than once have I heard it being referred to as a Nercohol. Most hunters try to stay away, as the monsters are particularly vicious. Though...I suppose Mama confirmed that much."

Emiri made a mental note never to anger Savayna. She shrunk in her seat, obviously terrified, though Nadeline next to her was not amused to being hit. "But I was serious..." Grant said, rubbing his head. He received a glare from Emiri and would cough a bit, clearing his throat. "As Nadeline was saying...there's a high probably of encountering one of, two of, or even all three of them in Nabudis. We better stay on our toes, lest we fall prey to whatever they have up their sleeve. I also think even if Reia was to call Lola off, she would...still be interested in...her pet." He said the last part rather slowly, as if afraid he would set Savayna off again.

"Next time...she's mine." Emiri stated, crossing her arms. "I have to get back at her for her little stunt." She said, remembering Lola's promise to kill her friends in front of her.

"Where you were attacked in your home?" Nadeline asked. "I don't know, Emi, you'll probably be her first target."

"Anyway...what is Nabudis like? Or rather, what remains of it?" Grant asked.

Roman wanted to say the meeting with his grandfather and cousin were slightly unneeded, but the fact that his grandfather was not present did bother him. He did not forget Vincent's words. Still...he found his number of people to trust rather lacking these days. He smiled at the pair of judges. "Ah, you must think this a waste of time, do you not?" He joked lightly, a hand on his chin. "Anyway...anything to report? Something not in this stack, I mean." He eyed the papers, though turned his attention back to the two in front of him.

"A puppeteer? But then wouldn't she have called Emiri her puppet, not a pet?" Nadeline asked rather curiously.

"Maybe she's a beast tamer. You know, people that can control animals and wild creatures?" Grant suggested. "Those kind of people always refer to their monsters as pets."

"Maybe she has an ability to seduce people? I mean, that outfit of hers was...interesting." Nadeline recalled the violet bodysuit. "Well, no, I am sure she would have seduced Emi already, then..." She looked at the brunette. "Hmm...does that mean she's playing for the other team? Now that I think about it, she did act like a young girl with a school crush..."

"If anyone would have an ability like that it would be Meli." Grant rolled his eyes, remembering the woman's rather ridiculous garb. "Now that was an 'interesting' outfit...provided it could even be classified as one." He briefly looked at Wesley. "They both look like they could be dominatrix mistresses...ah, perhaps Lola can only seduce men? Quite inconvenient if she is a lesbian however..."

Emiri shook her head at both Nadeline and Grant. This guessing game was apparently very fun for the two of them.

Roman thought being Marquis was tough. He never thought he would be pining for the paperwork back in Bhujerba, but as he stared at the stacks of paper placed in front of him, he only let out a small cry. Archadia sucked. He let out a sigh, lightly pushing the stack to the side when he would hear his assistant buzz in. It seemed both Francis and Levi had arrived. "Send them in." He instructed, gladly taking papers and placing them in his desk. They would provide an ample distraction...for now, at least. He cleared his throat, making sure all his worries of paperwork were cleared off his face. Sure, he was used to ruling a country, but Archadia was much more vast than Bhujerba, and the people had a tendency to complain more in Archadia.

He watched as the pair of judges entered, and beckoned them to sit.

Everyone would listen to what Savayna would say about Michel. Nadeline nodded, thinking to herself. "That leaves Lola as an unknown." She stated the obvious. "Each one of them is dangerous for different reasons, though at the very least we know what to expect from Michel and Meli. If it comes down to it, they have her ability as an advantage. Michel concerns me, though...to whom is his true alliance? Archadia? Or Utena?" Nadeline asked rhetorically. "I also can't help but wonder...they knew where Shemhazzai was, we may just encounter them in Nabudis as well."

Grant looked at Emiri, remembering something from their encounter with Michel and Lola. "You know, she did mention a pet...was she referring to you?"

Emiri wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Yes." She stated bluntly. "But knowing she's obsessed with me is not something we could use."

Nadeline seemed to agree with that much. "She seems...odd, but she is just as dangerous as the other two. Do NOT forget that." She scolded Grant.

After some reluctance at waking up (the entire castle could hear Savayna yelling at Grant to get up already), a nice breakfast (which ended with Emiri having to go wash out her hair again after making a comment how Nadeline could never match this level) and some farewells (Lorenzo was apparently upset he did not get to 'bond with his future son-in-law'--though Karolina noted that his idea of bonding would have been a duel. Wesley politely declined) the group headed out once more. They boarded the Ifrit and as they were on their way to the Dead Capital of Nabradia--Nabudis, they had gathered around the dining room table, as Nadeline wished to reveal the results of the meeting.

"Reia will remain at the throne--if only to keep up appearances." She announced to the group, lightly turning a page in her Esper's Tome, revealing a drawing of Chaos. "Despite this development, Vlyn informed me that the group of assassins--apparently named Utena--have their own agenda. Reia may have hired Lola, but the rest of their group has their own motives. As to what they are, well...we aren't sure. There is a chance we will be encountering them in the future, as well." She clasped her hands together at this point. "We know of three of their members so far: Michel, Lola, and Meli. The last of which has demonstrated quite an interesting power...somehow manipulating shadows. My Protect seemed to have been able to, well, protect us from it, but it is something not to be underestimated."

"Which leaves the question of what exactly are the other two capable of? And are there more members we need to worry about?" Grant interjected.

Emiri returned Jaakuna's smile with one of her own. She would copy him and get on her side, getting as close to him as she could get. "I love you too." She told him gently, placing her hand on his. "I'll always love you. Forever." Even if I can't reach you anymore. Even if I can never hear your voice again. Even if I can't be with you. She wanted to say, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. There was always the possibility of her power doing it again, and she was more than sure she would have to use it more. Maybe it was best if he didn't know. "I promise."

Its tough being part of an Evil Organization

Oh this sounds fuuuuun! I want to be the bumbling idiot that keeps messing up yet somehow manages to stay employed!
