She's afraid.
Good.
No, then she'll be more careful.
Shouldn't be an issue.
The twins read the contract carefully, and nod.
"Thank you ma'am."
They sign on the line quickly, and hand back the papers.
"We look forward to starting, ma'am."

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.

Lorelei and Lucia follow Artemis down the stairs to Mr. Cresno's office. Upon reaching it, they knock and wait patiently for the door to open.
Uniforms? I dunno...
As long as they don't make us wear name tags it'll be alright.

"I suppose those two will be busy for a bit. I'll give them the errand later I suppose..."
Grandma turns to Naoki smile gone and a nuetral expression on her face now that the twins have left, "I ask that as soon as you get your papers in order you come to my room, it's rather important. I wouldn't want Skarlet running off on us if she thinks I've left her by herself for too long."
Grandma exits the office and heads to her room, awaiting Naoki's arrival.

The door swings shut by itself as The Twins exit, and locks behind them.
Madame Naoki lets loose her breath, which she had been holding. She taps her single earring, and speaks.
"Reese, they're headed your way. Give them some artifacts, and keep an eye on them. Artemis, make a note, those two aren't coming up here again. If they need something, it'll be handled through someone else."
Naoki takes a moment, and composes herself after Grandma leaves.
"You could see, couldn't you? They didn't respond to any of my signals, they just... sat there. They didn't feel like people. Like, even you, Artemis, I can feel you. You're there. They're... not."
"I suppose I should go deal with that vampire now."
She pauses, and slides down in her chair.
"Heh. In a moment of realization, I see what I've become."
Naoki sighs, and stands up. "Well, let's go then."
Naoki and Artemis, (should she choose to follow), once the twins have gone downstairs, make their way over to Grandma's room and knock.

A maid opens the door and motions for Naoki to head towards the bed. Grandma is in a rocker reading a book and looks up upon Naoki's arrival.
"Ah, thank you for coming Naoki, let me introduce you to our newest guest. This is Skarlet, Skarlet, this is Madame Naoki. She is the current owner of the Midnight Sun. Now, I would request that you talk to Skarlet about her options here and if all parties are willing, to make her part of our family here!"
Grandma gives a comforting smile to Skarlet and adds, "Although I think she would be a good fit to work with you Naoki, I am willing to take her under my wing here if you are too busy."

Naoki listens as Grandma explains the situation, and nods. She sees Skarlet on the bed, and the empty blood bottles beside her on the floor. She also notices Drude, creeping in the corner.
"I see."
Naoki pulls the trunk at the end of the bed around to the side, and sits on it to talk with Skarlet.
"Pleased to meet you, Skarlet. Like Grandma said, I'm Madame Naoki, and I run the Midnight Sun here. I don't know what else she's told you, so let me start at the beginning. This establishment," she says, gesturing around to the room and the door, "is a combination bar and casino. We serve everyone, regardless of race, disposition, or past. It is, and by extension, we are, located in The Free City, which is.. oh, near the west coast, sort of, east of the The Norkari Mountains."
"If Grandma brought you here to join the family, you must be a pretty reasonable person. But there are a few things you should understand. First, that we have rules, which you'd be expected to follow. That, and... Hm. How should I put this. The business we do... It's not exactly all above board, if you know what I mean. You seem fine to me, and we'd be happy to have you, but I want you to know what you'd be getting in to. If you'd rather spend a few days here, heal up, have some drinks and be on your way, that's also fine, I'm not pressuring you to do anything."

Physical Description: Artemis is a sturdily built woman of medium height, with blonde hair tied back in a professional bun. 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.

Naoki reaches over and grabs a quill from the cabinet, as well as a bottle of ink and a large piece of paper, upon which she starts to draft a formal agreement. "With business deal like this, I understand it's common to keep a written record of the specifics of the deal, so both parties can refer to it. I should really hire someone to write these sorts of things for me...." Assuming Ms. Green's cooperation and no interruptions, the two hammer out the specifics of the supply deal, and sign the contract into being. The contract is then rolled up and placed with others in a cabinet to the left of Naoki's desk.
"Alright. It has been an absolute pleasure doing business with you, Ms. Green. There's just one more thing I'd like to tell you about." Madame Naoki opens a drawer in her desk, and takes out two items. A black ribbon, with a red jewel embedded into it, perhaps ten inches long, matching the one worn by Artemis, as well as a small ring, thin and silver, with a small purple gem embedded in the top. She slides them both across the desk to Ms. Green with the tip of her tail. "I'd like to give you these. The ribbon serves an important purpose here in the Midnight Sun. It marks the wearer as someone who shouldn't be trifled with. The bouncers will come to the aid of anyone wearing one of these in the Midnight Sun if they are being harassed. We hand them out pretty freely to anyone who wouldn't like some of the more... intoxicated patrons trying anything with them." "The ring is my unique gift to you, to commemorate today; hopefully the start of a long and mutually prosperous relationship." Naoki purrs a bit, and continues. "Oh, and it'll work like a key. Press on the little purple gem, and doors will open. On your way out, I'll have Artemis show you an alternate entrance you might find more convenient." While Naomi explains the details of the deal, Kate says nothing, just giving a nod every once in a while, to show she understood. She slips the ring to her right index finger and looks as it sparkles against the light. The ribbon she tucks into her pocket, she didn't have the need to use it yet. "Thank you. I suppose we have an agreement, then." Kate stands up and buttons up her jacket. "I'll see you on Friday, then. I'll come to set up the greenroom here. Make sure you deal with the Citadel." She bows slightly and motions the Thales to follow. She seeks out Artemis and engages her: "Now, I think we'll take our leave through the 'alternate' exit, if you don't mind." She smiles confidently. "Of course, Miss. Please, follow me." As they descend the stairs, she speaks again. "I'm afraid Hasdrubal asked me to bring you by the bar on the way out, Miss Green. He was... quite insistent on the matter." A small flicker of distaste crosses her features, before it vanishes like it was never there. "I'll be nearby, catch my attention if he starts to make you uncomfortable." A pause, then. "Scratch that, he makes everyone uncomfortable. Particularly uncomfortable, then." Weaving past the patrons with expert motion, she leads them to a free spot on the bar, then assumes a position against a nearby wall. |

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 sighed as yet another person bulled their way into his office.
"Really now, Artemis. If you don't wait after the knock, all it does is hurt my poor door. At least the twins were polite about it. Speaking of them..."
Reese looked down. "Come in, come in! I'm Reese Cresno, as you may have heard, but you can just call me Reese. Lucia and Lorelei, right? It's a pleasure."
He continued to rattle on, not giving much time to respond. "I'm to give you one of the family symbols, eh? A bit of jewelry with the family stamp, usually, though it could be something else. A piece of clothing, perhaps, or just a little something to keep in your pocket. It establishes you as one of us, and gives you the ability to contact the rest of us. You use it to talk to me, and I can relay messages to the others. Or vice-versa, if they have something to tell you. Keeps us organized and connected."
His comfy chair creaked as he leaned back. "That being said, what would you like? Is something special in order?"

She still couldn't shake the feeling of nervousness. When she left the office she felt something bad had happened... Kate couldn't put her finger on it, and that drove her mad. She clenched her fists and waited for Hasdrubal. I wanna leave already... |

Marcus and Elicia joined Kate as she sat down. He acted polite in the presence of Artemis and Naomi, but without them he became suspicious of the tavern in general.
"I doubt we could stay long, actually" He said casually, "It's getting late and I need to help Miss Green get ready for tomorrow.

Hasdrubal approaches, cheerful as ever.
"If you would be so kind, I'm to take you on a tour of the facilities you will have access to. At the end, we can stop at my office for a drink from my personal suppply."
He makes for a small door, set behind the bar.

Skarlet said crankily, she looks over at her arm to see how it's doing and it's still mostly separate. "So you're criminals or something? I suppose it doesn't matter. I think you have me in a vulnerable position where you could have me do whatever you wanted, so I might as well just cooperate." When Skarlet spoke she was very gloomy, she'd been having a rough time for years. "So what do you want me to do in return for the help I've gotten?" |

The door on the far wall should be opened under no circumstances." Next, he leads her into a moderately sized room. Odd candles sit in braces on the wall, glowing with unearthly green fire. Every available flat surface is covered with papers of formulae, with the exception of a small square table. The walls are covered with intricate diagrams of the human body, with each organ painstakingly detailed. Each drawing is signed with an intricate "H". "Welcome to my humble office. Please, have a seat! Would you care for a drink? I set aside all of my better brews for personal consumption." |

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.

Naoki listens as Grandma explains the situation, and nods. She sees Skarlet on the bed, and the empty blood bottles beside her on the floor. She also notices Drude, creeping in the corner. "I see." Naoki pulls the trunk at the end of the bed around to the side, and sits on it to talk with Skarlet. "Pleased to meet you, Skarlet. Like Grandma said, I'm Madame Naoki, and I run the Midnight Sun here. I don't know what else she's told you, so let me start at the beginning. This establishment," she says, gesturing around to the room and the door, "is a combination bar and casino. We serve everyone, regardless of race, disposition, or past. It is, and by extension, we are, located in The Free City, which is.. oh, near the west coast, sort of, east of the The Norkari Mountains." "If Grandma brought you here to join the family, you must be a pretty reasonable person. But there are a few things you should understand. First, that we have rules, which you'd be expected to follow. That, and... Hm. How should I put this. The business we do... It's not exactly all above board, if you know what I mean. You seem fine to me, and we'd be happy to have you, but I want you to know what you'd be getting in to. If you'd rather spend a few days here, heal up, have some drinks and be on your way, that's also fine, I'm not pressuring you to do anything." "No, I don't know much at all." Skarlet said crankily, she looks over at her arm to see how it's doing and it's still mostly separate. "So you're criminals or something? I suppose it doesn't matter. I think you have me in a vulnerable position where you could have me do whatever you wanted, so I might as well just cooperate." When Skarlet spoke she was very gloomy, she'd been having a rough time for years. "So what do you want me to do in return for the help I've gotten?" "Ooohh, 'criminals' is such a negative term. Yes, some of us might not always act ethically, but that's not the focus. Our goal is to provide a place where nobody, regardless of what their body is, isn't wanted. Downstairs, you'll see all sorts of interesting people who aren't wanted elsewhere, and to them, this is home." "But like I said, I don't mean to force anything on you. Basic medical care and some drinks isn't enough to press anyone into servitude. This is an invitation, one that you can deny, if you want. We have all sorts of things you might enjoy, and the means to allow you to improve yourself. If you'd rather leave, that's fine, we won't stop you." |

Kate Green
Dedicated
Assessing the damage w/ Naoki
Roleplay posts: 309
Age: 19
Physical Description: Kate is built slenderly, but working in her gardens and on the field has defined her muscles. Her eyes shine with an amber hue and her silvery hair never seems to get dirty from the work she still insists on doing herself.
(Full Sized image: http://imgur.com/bJTWavF)
Clothes and Equipment: She wears a pink apron on her that has a simple square pattern. Underneath, brownish green pants and a black tube top. Many tools, such as a flower shovel, a small rake and a spray bottle, fit inside her pockets. A large red ribbon complements her hair.
When she was working at the Midnight Sun, she replaced her red ribbon with a black one she was gifted when she first joined. She also had a green dress, gifted to her by Naoki.
After being gone away for a long time, she has since expanded her wardrobe, and tends not to think about her clothes too much and follows whatever trends Naoki says are popular now.

Kate was thoroughly impressed by the facilities she had been offered. "This will do nicely." She nodded seriously. The door, and how her host presented it, sent a chill down her spine. She really did not need to know what a man like him would keep locked in.
"I'm fine, thanks." She smiled nervously. She was constantly checking that Marcus and Elicia were nearby. "I love what you've done with the place", she remarked snidely.
Kate had not taken a seat yet. She was hoping to get out of the creepy office as soon as possible.
"Was there something you needed to discuss?"
