"I'm sure he'll be the easier of the minions to persuade, but no matter what you have a very bumpy road ahead of you." Will sipped some more of his drink, and said, "Do you plan on living here again, or what?"

"I don't know about long-term, but I plan to stay - paying of course - for a time. This is the only place I can go at the moment regardless of how people feel about me here." Charlie looked over at the cats again, gauging their conversation.
"Besides, I deserve a bumpy road. I don't really want to welcome it, but I will. If it was easy to come back here, it wouldn't be worth it."

Vincent stood there thinking about what Hurc said, and nodded although no one saw him. He stood up with his Cherry Bloom in hand, and started to approach Jason.
[glow=red,2,300]Vincent: Hey, I assume you know why I'm here, especially since you sent me on this little journey around the tavern.[/glow]
Vincent didn't feel the need to say anything more, his objective pretty clear. He also knew he was much farther ahead than Nate, as a smile came upon his face.

Jason smirked at Vincent. "Aye, I know why you're here. And he won't help you. He only sided with you to irk Demon. Thats not going to imporve your state with Demon either. Ugh, hold one, Lexi wants me." He walked over to Alexia who'd jsut called him... ~~~~~~~~~ Charlie had walked out of her office, the door closing behind him, and Alexia, swung her legs around so she was lying the long way on her desk, the balls of her hands pressed on her eyes. She breathed slowly, thinking hard. "Why did he show up now?" She said calmly to herself in a logical manner. "Why did he show up now[/]?" This time it was more curious, and slightly annoyed.
Her hands flew from her face and flew to her sides in the form of fists that hit the desk once, hard enough to put see through holes in its beautiful top.
"WHY DID HE SHOW UP NOW!?" She screamed at the top of her lungs and sitting up, picked up a tankard that appeared beside her and threw it at the door, where it shatterd. She made sure that everyone out in the tavern heard that tankard shatter.
She huffed and legs crossed once again, tapping a nail on the desk as she thought. After about ten minuets, she made a decison. She hopped down off her desk, and opened the door. As she appeared to teh rest of the tavern, she was dressed differently. She was now in...
..She was leaving....both her swords were on either sid of her hips, as usual, and so was both of her daggers. She wasn't happy. She walked over to where Will, Nate, and Charlie sat. She pounded on the counter, and a cherry coke was in her hand.
"Will, I'm going to see Siren. Jason! Come here ! Jason, you and Will are in charge. Do NOT kill Charlie, I get that pleasure. Charlie, you're first order is to listen to Jason..and Will..but only if Jason says his order is okay. Thats for your protection. I suggest you speak to Hurc and Demon at the same time...no wait...thats an order. Nate, Vincent, I'll see you boys later."
Then she was suddenly gone in a towering pillar os black flames that had no start and no end, and reached from floor to ceiling. When the flames were gone, so was Alexia and her cherry coke.

Vincent looked impatient, only the two female tigers actually approving of him. He knew Demon wouldn't accept him, but now it sounds like Hurc doesn't approve him either. He didn't know what to do, so it was either: 1.)Ask Will, or 2.)Ask Jason. He walked over to Jason and began to speak.
[glow=red,2,300]Vincent: Well if neither of them actually accepted me, what do you propose I do then?[/glow]

Jason raised an eyebrow at Vincent.
"I never said he didn't did I now? Hurc is loyal to only Alexia...he wants only what is best for his mistress. Its what we all want. Though unlike Demon, Hurc does not approve of you because he thinks he knows whats best for her...he just is protecting her and the like out of loyalty and based on past experiences. By the way, chapter ten, "Demon is the ONLY one who is allow to act like he knows whats best for Alexia, get over it, because he's the only one who probably does, beside her." If he is siding with you to spite Demon, he likes you at least a little. if he didn't he wouldn't side at all. Hurc is only for two things. Alexia's happiness, and pissing off Demon."

Vincent nodded, still confused exactly about Hurc's position in all of this.
[glow=red,2,300]Vincent: Ok, so what next? I have to talk to the cubs right?[/glow]
Vincent finished off the 5th Cherry Bloom, wondering when Alexia would be back to the tavern, and who Siren was.

Jason read his mind.
"No, when they returned, they'll want to play with you probably, they don't care really as long as you're a fun playmate. Now Charlie over there, mate, he's in deep sh!t with them. And Siren is Alexia and Juston's sister...Sirenity is her full name. One of the three love goddesses. She controls the relationship and irony aspect of love. As well as rules over the love lives of the gods themselves."

[glow=red,2,300]Vincent: Oh so she controls the love life of Alexia then? How strong are the cubs, I might have a good idea for entertainment.[/glow]
Vincent was hoping they were equal to him in power or stronger, so he could transform into his dog-like Galian Beast, and have tiny sparring matches with them, because Vincent knew he could do that for days straight.

"Honestly? I don't know. I've been away in another universe, on a quest for Alexia and Juston. Last I saw them was at least three or four years ago. If I know the cubs, they grow quickly. Very possibly they are advanced enouch to hold thier human forms for a full 24 hours now, at most...I'm going ot assume about three quarters of my own strength. Talk to Will, he'd know for sure."

Vincent sighed, but nodded at the same time as he walked towards Will, the gay vampire who was still dressed and looking like a woman.
[glow=red,2,300]Vincent: Jason told me to talk to you about the Cub's power, because he didn't know since he's been gone for about 4 years since last seeing them.[/glow]

Charlie watched Alexia whoosh by them and blinked at the orders barked out at them. Once the dust settled, noted Hurc was talking to the females, so he turned to Jason instead.
"What do you want me to do for you?"

Jason looked Charlie up and down.
"For now, nothing. Just do as Alexia asked of you...or ordered. Whatever it was she said in the office. I'll call you eventually."
At the same time the cats and Hurc were still in their mental conversation.
'I just want to rip that damn kitten apart!'
'Do you think I don't De? I'v got dibs on his soul.'
'And I his body, so you'll have to wait your turn.'
'I and I supposed you've claimed something as well, Dog?'
'No, I'm simply at Alexia's command, that is all. I'm not exactly happy to see him, but unlike you felines, I am more emotionally connected to her than the rest of you.
'I warn you dog, don't brag.'
'I do no such thing, but I find it rather ironic that with the second shortest temper here, the exception being you De, that I'm the one looking at all of this logically and calmly. Angel, you're the most dangorus of us all, and you're reknown for your calm demeanor and long temper, but he walked into this tavern, and you were closer to mauling him than Demon here...which one would think would be hard to do.'
'Hurc, what is your point.'
'I'm getting there, my pet. Just let me continure first. Sabbath, more than any of us, you can see past the soul and into the very essence of a creature. Only Alexia can surpass your power in finding a lie. Does Charlie lie to us, or does he only show up now to beg Alexia for forgiveness so that he won't suddenly be struck dead?'
'He speaks the truth dear one. And I must say that I agree with you. I mean, like you i'm furious at the kitten, but I find it truely amazing that Angel's anger has surpassed Demon's.'
'Why do you two keep referring to that?'
'Because its true.'
None budged as the conversation continued and Hurc got to his point
OOC: Stay tuned to find out Hurc's point.

"Then that leaves me with..." Charlie thought back to all the orders given. "Nothing." Since Hurc was busy he couldn't talk to Demon because he was supposed to talk to both at the same time.

'Would it kill you to think of our mistress here? Believe me when I say that I hate him as much as you do, but remember, he left thinking it was best for Alexia.'
'Yeah, obviously he knew tht ultimatly he didn't love her, and didn't want her, and figured he's save himself from upsetting her later, when they were even MORE involved, and incurring her wrath to the point of death then. He may say it was because he was thinking of what was best for her, but really it was, what way was best not to make her smiteful.'
'That is not the case Demon, and you know it. As I have said. He was telling the truth. He wasn't telling a part truth, I'd know, remember. Charlie's words were pure honesty. So I have seen it, so I have said it, so it must be.'
'You've beenw rong before Sabbath.'
'Once. And I was but a cub, and very confused. I was just comming into my powers, and it was my first essence reading. I've never been wrong since. But I wouldn't be talking about childish misteaks, mister "I didn't take his soul, I took his mind? Opps." I suggest one remember's one's own misteaks before reminding others of their's.'
'She is right De. Now you don't have to follow suite, and though I will tell him that I will not forgive him...probably never...I at least won't kill him..or harm him in any way. It was our mistress he abdoned, and teh cubs, we're simply their guardians,a nd parents. To protect and defend them all if our first and a half duty.'
'Color and half, have you been into Alexia's black velvet dust?'
'No, De, I have not. I'm saying that though the protection of them and such is a top priority, obeying Alexia's orders are top above all else. He hurt HER, not us. We must not get emotionally involved with this Demon. Though I know we cannot help it, we can't. We weren't the ones wronged, she was...
'BUT I WARNED HIM! WE ALL WARNED HIM! HE KNEW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF HE HURT HER!'
'Do not interrupt me Demon! Yes, we did all warn him, but we are still all bound to her by loyalty and honor. We do not act unless she says so. Or at least we should't. Alexia has first dibs on his punishment above everyone of us. Demon, would you begrude Alexia the chance to utterly crush him? You do realize that if you did that, she'd have your head served to you on a silver platter in her hellish throne room before you could lick his blood from your chops.'
'Damn it Hurc, you're right. She'd kill me, literally, no doubt about that. Alright. I'll be....decent...to him.
'Hehehehehe, Demon, thats quite a lot comming from you. Only Alexia could get something like that from you...and possibly Sabbi, but I highly doubt it. Hurc, I'm in. You're right, its Alexia's thing. If she wants us to torment him, so be it. If not, well...I'll spend the next century in Hell torturing his soul for every second of hurt, and anger Alexia ever felt. once one I've made up for that, it'll be for every moment he was gone.'
'Good. De, and Sabbath, are in. Angel.'
Angel had been silent this whole time. Sitting there, silently glowering, listening to the other's talk. Now all of their attention was on them. They were all waiting paitently for he to reply, knowing that there would be acid behind her words. She was staring straight ahed, into Hurc's face, and then past him. Past the wall that sat behind him, and deep into the forest. No one knows how far past teh tavern wall Angel saw that day. Perhaps to the edge of the forest. Perhaps through all the layers of realms, and planes, and worlds, and even the varying universes where they had no power. No one knows who, or what Angel say then, and the other three minions have asked her several times each, all very curious to know what she saw. After ten long minuets of nothing but silence, she spoke, he words low, dark, and hateful.
'Just keep that thing away from me.'
Then she calmly rose, and padded away, silently, across the bar. She leaped into her booth, and turned around, lay down, he paws hanging slightly off the edge, she watched the tavern door, which she was now directly across from. sabbath sighed.
'Do not worry Hurc. When the cubs return, she'll probably put on a facad for them...until she knows how they feel about it all. If she doesn't...well, then that when we start to worry.
Sabbath too rose, and crossing the bar, jumpped onto the counter top, and lay down in her spot at the far end, a few feet from Angel's booth. She faced the wall opposite her, which held the fire place, the door was on the other side of the room to her right.
Hurc and Demon exchanged a few more words before De lay back down on the rug in front of the fire place, and Hurc started roaming the tavern, listening for any potential fights.
