Physical Description: Lorelei and Lucia are twins, with pink hair. They have sweet, innocent faces and identical clothing. Nobody could ever tell them apart, except for their parents. But they're long gone. They have a placid expression all the time, no matter what.
Clothes and Equipment: Lorelei and Lucia wear a selection of cute dresses and outdoor clothing, always completely identical. They both also carry matching knives. How cute. They also wear identical backpacks. Two living wooden mannequins follow them, dressed up exactly like them. They have sculpted and painted faces to look like copies of the twins. The twins also have a pet mockingbird named Eclair.

The twins pat Hasdrubal on the back, smiling sweetly.
"There there, Mr. Hasdrubal. We brought you some gummy candies, see?"
They hold out the bag of gummies to Has.
"They're from Grandma."

Physical Description: Reese is a very skeletal man, albeit one dressed to impress. He has a very wide grin, as would be expected of a person whose face lacks a skin. His bones are well-polished indeed, sometimes catching and reflecting a bit of light. This is possibly achieved with a bit of glaze, as normal skeletons are rather dull and lackluster.
Clothes and Equipment: Reese is always dressed in an immaculate suit, complete with a fine ironwood walking stick. A small chain hangs out of a jacket pocket. Were one to yank it out, they would find an elaborate medallion bearing a single, glowing, silver-etched eye.

Reese nods gratefully at the twins.
"She. The little herbalist woman, was it?"
He sighed. "I think it's just a first impression sort of deal. You're terribly intimidating at first, it has to be said. You can't just throw everything aside and give up the very first time someone doesn't pay you much mind. We have a working business partnership with the lady, right? She'll be coming over a lot. You don't have to rush. You have all the time in the world to try to build your reputation in her eyes. Give it a bit longer before you start sulking, alright?"

Hasdrubal sits up, and catches Reese in a massive bear-hug, the slime starting to eat into his suit.
"You know, mate, you're alright."
He tips back his head, and chugs the rest of the bottle. He stiffens, and pauses for just a second. Quietly, he stands, puts on a new shirt, vest, and lab coat, then says very firmly.
"This never happened."

The twins watch quietly as Hasdrubal hugs Reese and dissolves the front of his suit.
He seems better now.
I don't know how he did that.
Probably some strange potion.
Probably.
I wonder if he'll like the candy.
I hope he does.

Hasdrubal walks over to the twins.
"Now, pardon my eavesdropping, but in fairness, I WAS drunk. I gather that you two don't like Nakoi much. No matter how much you may dislike her, she's family to me, and now also to you. We don't kill family, or cause intentional harm to them! If you need somebody to stab, you have me now! Needless to say, if you DO stab Nakoi, there will be no cake for an entire week! Do I make myself clear?"

The twins look up in surprise.
He can hear us?
That's troublesome.
Oh well. We can deal with it.
Sorry Mr. Hasdrubal.
"Sorry, Mr Hasdrubal," they chorus. "Do you like gummy candy?"
The offer the bag, which he still hasn't taken.

Madame Naoki stands up as well, and straightens her dress before sliding the trunk back down to the foot of Granny's bed. "Let's go then, I think we have a couple of available rooms." Naoki opens the door, exits, and holds it open for Skarlet. She then heads down the hallway some, before stopping in front of a door labeled '24'. "I think this room is empty..." She carefully turns the handle, opens the door slowly, and peeks inside. Whatever she sees inside causes her ears to flatten against her head, and her eyes to go wide. She quietly closes the door, and takes a breath before turning back to Skarlet. "No. This room is occupied." As she proceeds to the next room, number '22', her ears and expression return to normal. " This room must be empty, then." More confidently, Madame Naoki swings the door wide. Sure enough, there isn't anyone in Room #22. There is, however, respectable living quarters, featuring such basic bits of furniture as a simple four-poster bed, a bedside table, a regular table, two chairs, a dresser, and a mirror with a crack down the center. The room isn't luxurious, by any means, but seems to be pretty clean, at least. "Yes. This'll do. This will be your room, Skarlet, for the duration of your stay. Do you have any questions, or need anything? I'll have the maids check on you, if you like." "Oh. Thank you very much. I'll just rest some more." Skarlet steps in and looks around. "Yeah, i think I'll be fine for now. " Once on her own she would look around the room more while, checking drawers and stuff with her usable hand. Of course when she looked at the mirror she would not see herself since she is a vampire. After that she'd remove her boots with her feet and one hand, loosen her corset, lay on the bed looking up at the ceiling until she could fall asleep. 'My room in Darkhive was pretty nice, but it was kinda gaudy. This room isn't in perfect condition but it feels okay, I don't feel like I'm some place I shouldn't be. It's definately not a room that pretends. I guess this is nice....zzz' |

Empress Naoki
Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.
Allegiances: The Isran Empire

Madame Naoki nods, satisfied, and turns to leave.
"Good. Like I said, if you need anything, just ask."
She then exits the room, shutting the door softly behind her.
Next step would be to speak with Mr. Screwtape about the renovations, so she descends the steps towards the casino.

"Oh yes! I do need those!"
He quickly takes them, and stashes them away in his coat.
"Now, if you'll follow me, it's time to put you through some preliminary testing."
He walks out of the room.

The twins follow him, hand in hand.
Testing? I wonder what's up.
Nothing bad, I hope.
Mr. Hasdrubal wouldn't do that sort of thing, would he?
I doubt it. I dunno though.
Madame Naoki is off limits? Shame.
Shame indeed.

Hasdrubal leads the two out into a round, bare room, roughly twenty feet across. On one wall is a rack full of different weapons, all very sharp and well maintained. He walks over, and selects a simple wooden sword, then stands at the center of the room.
"Many of my creations are actively hostile, extremely dangerous, and have an uncanny talent for escaping their cells, so I'd prefer to make sure you are combat ready before I take you on the tour. You may select any of the weapons here, or use your own. We will continue to fight until I strike you once with my weapon. The fight will begin when you step within ten feet of me. There are no additional rules."

Clad in a sharp black business suit, with black tie, dress shirt, and gloves, her appearance is utterly unremarkable; save for a single, flawless, purple gem, set on a simple black ribbon, worn choker-style around her throat. Her demeanor is such that she blends seamlessly into the background of any situation when her services are not required.

IC:
A lanternless Artemis emerges from the blackness of the tunnel, several minutes after leaving Kate to her own devices. Pausing to make sure the door is locked securely, she proceeds upstairs to Reese's office. Planting herself firmly in front of the door, she bangs loudly, three times - and actually waits.

The twins simply stand there, unmoving.
We must fight Mr. Hasdrubal?
i don't want to fight him
Me neither.
Oh well.
The twins reach into their jackets and pull out long, curved, and wickedly sharp knives. The blades are as identical as the twins themselves.
"Sorry Mr Hasdrubal."
"We love you, Mama."
"We love you, Papa."
They carefully put their backpacks down and turn to face Hasdrubal. Quick as a flash, Lorelei sprints past Hasdrubal on the left, Lucia runs past on the right. Their knives swing low, aiming to sever Hasdrubal's femoral arteries, if he has them. All the while, they each wear a blank, expressionless face.

Instead of trying to dodge, Hasdrubal leans into Lucia's strike, taking it fully in the stomach. Once it's embedded, it refuses to come out, and Hasdrubal twists his body hard, aiming to throw her off balance, or at least break her grip on the knife. At the same time, he swings his stick downward, aiming to catch her as she falls. The Lorelei's strike lands uneventfully, but there's no blood.

Lucia goes flying, and lets go of the knife. Rather than falling, though, she swigs up and lands on Hasdrubal's back. At the same time, Lorelei spins and cuts upward, jumping into the air to swing at Hasdrubal's throat.

Hasdrubal ignores the apparent dangers, and leans forward, catching the blade in his teeth. Meanwhile, his sword arm bends backward at an unnatural angle, sweeping across his back at high speed.

Reese peered over the desk, rather quizzically. It was a shame that a blank skull couldn't convey the breadth of emotions that a muscled face was capable of. He had been keeping an "eye socket" on the tunnel already, of course, but to say so would be terribly rude. "Aaah, of course. A sensible precaution. Worried about folks coming in from the other end. My left socket is devoted to the task!" Blast. Winking with that eye was out, too. It was so much more difficult to appear friendly, when one was a sack of bones. "Since you have requested, I'll keep you posted on the lady. I will say that I don't believe that Hasdrubal has any negative intention towards her. He's just plagued with a, shall we say, lack of normality. I can sympathize." Reese waves a skeletal arm to accentuate his point. |

I don't believe he has negative intentions either, from his perspective, but his definition of negative intentions may be... slightly different from ours." Artemis rested her face in a gloved hand. "Irregardless, he needs to learn how normal people will react to things before I'd be comfortable leaving him unsupervised. That poor woman looked like she was about to faint at the sight of all those diagrams in his little lair." |
