black lotus || holy alliance deputy || where; black cat diner || tags; kagome & aoi
friends, right. and lotus was the pope, attending tea parties with the matriarch of england on a daily basis. in reality, the ginger was sure that aoi thought very little of him. after all, despite the fact he was a nos, and had been romping about this world with the other five for ten plus years, he hadn't quite established a connection with any of them. he was bound to the elite by the fact his parents had connections, and were wealthy. but other than that? ten long years, and lotus had no trusted partners to show for it, no person to give his life for. he was a distant, tactical man, seen for his ruthless and occasionally sadistic nature. even yoshi, whose guild he joined. that was a decision done out of convinence. what use was a tactician without anyone to strategize, after all.
turning to aoi, lotus folded his hands across his lap, patiently waiting while the red-haired warrior rifled through her possessions. dark eyes wandering, the holy alliance deputy took notice of the subtle decoration of the office, bathed in the glow of candlelight. when aoi deemed herself ready, black lotus pulled up the menu que of his own, his fingers flying through the screens until a small card with fine writing shimmered into existence. pushing the cream-coloured note across the table, the black-clad male used sleight of hand to slip yet another listener beneath the desk that sat between him and the leader of dragon kitten. no doubt a member of the guild would find the spherical doubt later, hopefully after lotus had departed from the premises.
"that's the name of the man, and guild who put the massive bounty on your head last week." lotus said, nodding at the card. ensciribed on the note was a wide array of words, though most notably the bolded name, almost with the infamous player killing guild the user belonged too. "adrian shaw, aka bruiser_19. with his group's funds, he's placed quite a few hits on your head." eyes glimmering with an unknown emotion, lotus continued, almost sassily. "i'm sure you've noticed your recent status?" pushing the glasses up on his nose, the ginger stood up. "in addition to that, all of his crew members are featured on that card, along with their levels, and the gear they most prominently use. you'll also find an address for his apartment in america, though I don't believe you will be needing that." in other words, lotus probably hacked something. "i'm sure you'll handle this accordingly."
[ooc;i know hit listing and bounties were never really mentioned and i apologize for adding a new feature to the game for sake of the plot, but i thought it could be an interesting meeting. in other words, an anoymous user(s) have placed in-game currency on aoi's head with the intention of having her avatar killed. the sum is ridiculous, something that couldn't be payed off easily and not without financial issues. it could also be taken as a insult, characters want more characters dead. with aoi as powerful as she is, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that this is something she's experienced before. plus it would be irritating, random noobs throwing themselves at you in an attempt to kill ya. i figured bounty-hunting could be particularly annoying since you could be like, in the middle of a really important mission when some ignorant soul ambushes you [the targeted] in an attempt to kill them and thus distract said person from the mission. oh god, i'm rambling bad. anywho, i hope this okay - will edit if you want me too!]
imp you're drunk, what are you talking about.
explanation of what lotus is talking about; an anonymous user has placed a 'hit' on aoi, which basically means a massive sum of money has been placed for her head. it's not easily payed off and until then she's a target for all the noobs who think they could get her. it's not particularly dangerous, since she's so powerful, but if randoms attack her out of the blue in hopes of getting lucky and striking her down, then it's bound to get in her way, especially during important missions. it's also considered a sign of disrespect; obviously someone wants you dead and gone. lotus did some 'research' and figured out who had placed the hit, along with the names of all who had helped said person.
edit: gonna edit this later because i can't even make sense of what i'm saying.
