She should have been annoyed at the boy’s severe lack of cooperation, but Sky found it impossible to stay mad at Simon when he wrapped his arms around her. He had the same sweet smell that every child has and it was more than enough to activate every maternal instinct the young woman had. She could hardly claim to have any involvement with the child, but she found herself proud of the intelligence Simon spoke with. When he complimented the flowery scent of Skylar’s hair, she practically saw stars. The lab assistant wasn't sure when exactly she had returned Simon’s hug, but she couldn't ignore the tug at her heart when he pulled away to talk to Nathan. She was so enthralled watching their exchange, she almost missed the topic of their conversation until
“It was already determined that I would come to the past and spend two days here.” Two days… two… two days!? Reality came crashing down on Sky as those words sunk in. She stood up and was prepared to lecture the boy on how rude it was to drop in for such a length of time with no warning had she not heard the creak of the door opening. Her face pale, Skylar immediately began to run to the door.
“Nathan, find somewhere safe for Simon to hide and make sure you look like you’re busy working on something! I’ll stall whoever it is at the door. And hurry!” Miss Donahue took a deep breath as her hand covered the handle, trying her best to appear calm. She felt the door begin to open, and stopped it with her foot. She made a startled sound like she hadn't expected the door to open before allowing it to open just a crack, her body filling most of the view beyond.
“Oh my goodness, I am so sorry! I didn't realize someone was coming in. We’re actually right in the middle of-“ Sky stopped mid-sentence as she got a look at who was on the other side of the door. Biting her lip, she glanced to see how far along Dr. Burnoise had gotten with Simon and started again, “Um… good morning. Can I help you with something?”

The fox spirit took in all the new information quietly, but the side of her mouth twitched at the word “hotel.” Thankfully he mentioned a room number which meant some privacy, but a hotel was sure to have other people. How delightful. It was foolish of me to think he picked an assignment with five targets to impress me. He’s testing me… Clever as always, human.
Finishing off the last bite of bacon, Lilith licked her fingers as Aleks mentioned a cell phone. The thought of her owning one made her laugh inside. What use could she possibly have for a phone before today? The fox spirit probably would have made a joke about it, had Aleks not tacked on one final statement. It was meant to be a white flag of sorts, meant to show Lilith he wanted her to succeed, but the proud kumiho saw it as an insult. She didn't need someone telling her to be careful. Of all the things he had told her to do, this was the most upsetting. Was it because she mentioned the possibility of other victims? Did that make him think she was just some bumbling fool who wouldn't handle a simple slaughter? They were just a few stupid humans, what could they possibly do to her? Forcing a small smile, she shook her head, “I don’t have a phone, I guess I’ll go pick one up as soon as you’re finished giving me orders.” Her tone was pleasant, but Lilith’s eyes did little to hide her true emotion.
“Well, assuming there isn't anything else; I’m going to head out. Just write your number down, I’ll dispose of the paper once I have my cell phone.” Standing up in a fluid motion, Lilith reached for her clothes still folded on the table. After changing in the bathroom, she walked out and sighed. Glancing down at her tails one last time, she made all nine of them disappear into thin air. Her ears followed suit and suddenly, Lilith was just a beautiful woman once more. Her pink lips were scrunched into a slight pout, clearly displeased with the change. She crossed her arms and lifted her golden gaze to Aleks, giving him one more chance to divulge any last moment information.
“I just realized… what are you going to be doing during all of this?”

Sorry I haven't posted yet! I ended up actually doing things before work yesterday which was totally unexpected and mildly scandalous. lol I drank beer! Bleh. lmao
Um... I guess we can both kind of play them? Or play it by ear? >.> I've never really run into this situation in an RP before. lmao I imagine we'll figure it out pretty easy once we get it started. We should probably have names, physical description, and super simple (like 2 sentences) personality descriptions for them so we don't get confused while we're doing this. I was thinking you could do that for this first mission just because I'm lazy and I kinda want to be as surprised as Lilith with what we face.
But I'll definitely be taking control of them some, I'm kinda excited to try being a dude and I trust you won't be too mean with your criticism/ judge me too much if I suck. <3

Sky stood back for a moment, unsure of what to do. The boy, recently dubbed Simon, was way too excited about the whole situation to pay attention to anything logical she had to say. Nathan, somewhat similarly, only seemed interested in learning more about how and why the time machine worked. Neither of them appeared concerned with safety protocols; not that the young woman knew exactly what precautions to take in a situation like this. Simon seemed confident he knew what information to withhold to not disturb anything from his time, but Miss Donahue was ever cautious and worried there might be other factors they needed to account for.
Eventually, Skylar decided on what she believed was the most logical course of action. The boy should return to his time immediately and they should write down everything that transpired during the boy’s visit. Future visits should be planned and carefully recorded. Trips should be short with minimal information shared. If the boy could manage, he should carefully take note of his environment for any signs of changes to the future. They should be careful. Watching as the two males went about their excited business, she shook her head. Them? Be careful and organized? Looks like I’m going to have to handle this.
“Simon, why did you come here today? Was it just to visit your grandfather?” Sky glanced at Nathan as she spoke, “He had big plans to try out his machine today, but I’m not sure we can do that if you’re here… Maybe you could visit another time? When we’re more ready?” Please?

Short post, but whatevs, I don't even feel bad this time. lol It's hard to have much to say during conversations. I'm actually proud I've been able to write as much as I have been. I used to be pretty bad at writing more than a paragraph during conversation segments.
Anyway, seeing as you probably won't have much to do with Aleks during the mission, were you planning on RPing the 5 guys? Did you want to split them up? I've never tried being a male thug/ assassin type. Might be kinda funny to see me try (or who knows, I might be good at it!).

Lilith took another large, fatty bite as she listened to Aleks’ plan. She managed to avoid getting anything on her face but her method was still shockingly barbaric. The young businessman would learn in time that the woman’s actions were often in sharp contrast to her appearance. She may be able to play the part, but her animalistic tendencies always showed through somehow. The fox spirit hardly seemed to be paying attention to what Aleks was saying, the bacon clearly more engaging. Lilith paused, however, when he mentioned that she would be going in alone.
“So let me get this straight: I’m supposed to get five, presumably well-trained men alone and kill each of them by myself before anyone notices?” She paused, but not long enough for Aleks to respond, “I can do it… but I can’t promise how clean it’ll be. Do you have any qualms about collateral damage? An unexpected witness, for example.” She took another bite as she thought, savoring the creamy texture of the fat before swallowing.
“Another thing, where am I meeting them? I’d like an idea of what I’ll be working with.” The kumiho could tell there was a lot of information Aleks was withholding, but it didn't bother her. The details weren't important as long as they both got what they wanted in the end. Ideally, the meeting place would be an abandoned warehouse or somewhere equally isolated. Lilith’s work was rarely quiet and with so many targets, there were guaranteed to be shouts on top of the screams. If they met at a bar as Aleks had with his client last night, the fox wasn't quite so sure how she was going to pull this off. Not that she was about to admit that to the man in front of her, of course. Looking deep into his eyes, Lilith smiled and took another bite.

Hahaha It was a joke. Also you are bad guy but this doesn't mean you are bad guy. Wreck-It Ralph is an amazing movie. I insist you watch it if you haven't (which I'm assuming you have not lmao). Seriously, watch it today. Skip applying for jobs, class, homework, posting- whatever you need to skip to watch this movie, do it. It will make you feel the feels.
I will never judge you for a baby post, it happens to all of us. <3 I may be disappointed, devastated even, but I'll take the pain as best I can. I know you don't mean to hurt me, sometimes it just happens. :P
Uh oh… Looks like I might have struck a nerve. Lilith rose quickly and faced the kitchen in an attempt to hide her grin. I knew something would have to get to you. As the hungry fox made her way to find some food, she remembered the forks she had hidden and wondered if Aleks had found them while making coffee. She intentionally opened some of the wrong cabinets while looking for a glass so that he wouldn't be suspicious of how well she knew the layout. Plus, it gave her a chance to see if the forks were still where she had placed them. So far, so good.
After pouring a glass of milk, Lilith began looking for some food to go with it. Aleks talked while she poked around, sounding rather impatient and surprisingly stingy. Pay you back? As if I’m not doing you enough of a favor already… The woman opened up the fridge once more as she replied, “Yeah, yeah, I’m good to go. I just need to put my clothes back on. Ooh, bacon.” Lilith knew it was not a cheap meat, but she grabbed the package anyway and made her way back to the couch with it and her glass of milk.
“Are you content with eating five hearts today?” Lilith almost dropped her food at the comment, unable to hide the brief look of shock on her face. Shaking her head gently, she went back to looking coy and sat down with a smile. “Well someone sure is eager to impress. Five is more than enough. So what do you have planned?” She began eating the fatty slab of meat raw, which she doubted would get a reaction from the man. Bacon was often served uncooked in Russia. What she did think would get a reaction however, was the fact that she was eating it uncut with her bare hands. If that didn't suggest she planned on eating all of it, she didn't know what would.

How could this day have possibly gotten weirder? Sky stared at the boy as he began looking at the room, her hand still outstretched. He can't really be... can he? They do look a lot a like... But I just assumed this boy was from the past. I suppose he still could be, if Doctor Burnoise had a mad scientist grandfather. Wait, is it better or worse that this boy is from the future? It wasn't until Nathan called her name that the young woman reanimated. She dropped her arm and turned to the man incredulously, “Set you on fire? Don’t you think that’s a bit extreme? And what’s so bad about having a k- you know what, that isn't important right now. We need to get this boy back to his own time before something goes wrong.” Redirecting her attention to the grandchild, Skylar smiled, “Hey, sweetie, don’t you want to go see your mom and dad?” She paused for a moment and added, “How did you get here anyway? Do you have a time machine too?”
The young woman was determined to get things back to normal, but it was hard not to be curious as to the circumstances that had gotten them into their current predicament. Was Nathan’s machine solely to blame? Had it malfunctioned and randomly pulled this boy from his own time? Or was this boy somehow the instigator? Did Nathan’s grandson have the same wild intelligence? Had he activated the time machine himself? Sky couldn't help but hope, for the parent’s sake, that the boy had nothing to do with this. Given his excitement, however, she rather doubted it.
