Chapter 9: The God that Failed

[Tuesday DeCastro]

Tuesday nods, agreeing with Maeve's statements. "I'm sure he'll be back soon enough." She says of Alexei.

She slips her feet out of her shoes and crosses her legs under her. "Well, if we want to lead him somewhere, we need a location that is going to be clear of people. Seeing as we don't want anyone else to get hurt." She thinks for a moment, scratching her head a bit. "Unless I'm mistaken, there is an old warehouse not to far from here. Perhaps we could use that?"

They also need to figure out what they are going to do once gas mask man is actually within their grasp, and Tuesday isn't really sure that they can pull this off, however she does her best to conceal her doubts and form a plan with Maeve.

[Maeve Cullen]

"Hmm..." Maeve ponders as she finishes her food. "Yeah, sounds perfect. Are there still crates and stuff? Also, what kind of weapon did our masked rival use?" She questions, knowing it was some type of blade. Her jackknife might not be much use depending on his blades...

[Tuesday DeCastro]

Tuesday shrugged. "I'm not entirely sure, I haven't been inside it. Theres a big closed sign on the front, and it looks pretty deserted."

"He had two long blades. I don't know what there called, but he moves with them really well, and he moves them so fast you can't keep track of them, its hard enough keeping your eyes on two blades, let alone two blades spinning like crazy."

[Maeve Cullen]

Maeve was pretty positive she could keep track of the blade speed and avoid them, the problem would be disarming him or finding openings. Jackknife weren't that great for disarming, but if she got a jab in the right spot... "So what was this guy like? A gas mask, and...?" If he was some kind of Genetech creation, it'd make things much harder.

[Tuesday DeCastro]

"Well he had a suit, it was made of what looked like metal. I already told you of the two blades, and he doesn't talk. At least, I don't think he does. He was trying to get me to tell him about the location of the Socialist Revolution paper, and he wouldn't say a word."

Tuesday shrugged, thinking a little more. "Oh, and he seemed ready for anything. Not that he had much to worry about from me, but still."

[Kizu Sensou & Hex]

***MODIFIED POST***

Kizus indecisiveness had been eating at her all day. She had retired to her apartment where she had tried to sleep and Hex stayed up as long as he could but soon fell into the slow rythms of sleep beside her with his strong arms wrapped around her. She had come to a conclusion before she herself had succombed to sleep she would take a small vacation and get away from the labs for a bit. If there had been so much violence. The attack on the smeet room while Sasha and Alexeis friend had been there and then an experiment getting free which she was not to have known about but info had trickled down and she had found out pieces but only pieces. Nothing more than an experiment not the nature of it but something had gotten lose is all. She did not feel safe in her lodgings at the moment and wanted an outlet away from things.

She wrote up a small absence of leave paper saying she was taking about a week off just to have some personal time and would be back promptly. If her superiors wished to find her she knew it would not be hard for them to locate her. She was afterall their creation. There had to be some locator stashed on her being somewhere and she had no qualms about that.

She had went to sleep after submitting this and in the morning packed her bags with Hex's help. She wondered where she might go. SHe had never went anywhere before. She thought about possibly calling ALexei since he was the only person outside the facility she knew. But thought against it. Then realized that maybe getting in touch with those people might not be such a bad idea. She might just go to where was it again...Helsinki. Yeha thats where they were headed and seek them out. Maybe she could find them and have some sort of a life outside of her facility.

So she and Hex took a teleportation booth and dialed Helsinki. She was excited but scared held onto him very tightly. She wondered how she might find them if she could not get intouch with Alexei or if maybe the old wandering the streets of Helsinki might work...(CLiche I know)

[Linnea Korpela]

"Are you sure about that?" she cocked her head to the side and sat down at the table. "You have no idea what he is really like."
She sighed and propped her head up on a hand.
"He's super arrogant, self centered. loud and obnoxious. He's also very aggressive and a total womanizer."
Thinking about all the stuff that she had gone through she started to feel angry and depressed.

[Taylor Jones]

To Kizu and Hex

Taylor had only taken a few steps away from her apartment when she nearly ran into a man and woman. She caught herself just before she did though.

"Pardon my clumsiness." She said to the man and woman. "I'm Taylor." She smiled, extending her hand.

[Akira 69]

A few moments longer of beating the manager of the store senseless, Akira emptied out the cash registers and used his Creditor facade to make some kind of exscuse the manager wouldn't argue against. Any sane person would never argue with a Creditor and only those with some kind of special gift could, but even then Akira was prepared for those types of people as he walked out a few hundred dollars richer then he had been before.

Strolling down the streets, Akira stopped at a corner when he saw a few people just across the street from him. A man and two girls, one of which looked really pretty and seemed to be calling him even though in reality she wasn't. He would have to introduce himself to this lovely young lady he thought as he slicked his pink hair back and strutted over arrogantly; which looked alittle funny to any passers by. "Konichiwa. Can I be of any assistance ladies?" Akira asked bowing politely, being as charming as he could possibly be.

((Prepare to be hit on! xD))

[Kizu Sensou & Hex]

Kizu grabbed the hand of the woman although clearly not needed. Hex had regained himself and reached for both women hoping to steady either had they needed it.

"Quite Alright. My name is Kizu...Kizu Sensou. And My partner here is Hex. Parden his boldness he just didnt want you to fall either...."

All of a sudden a man with Pink hair came up to them and began talking to them. She was very nervous and didn't know what to do. Hex knowing her well stepped infront of Kizu putting his arm out. Hex however did not know if the other woman knew this gentleman or not.

Kizu asked bluntly...

"Is this man a friend of yours Dear?"

[Taylor Jones]

She shook Kizu's hand politely, smiling at the pair, she laughed a little as Kizu explained that Hex didn't want her to fall. "Well, thank you for saving me from meeting the pavement." She said to Hex. "Nice to meet the both of you."

Taylor opened her mouth to ask them what brought them to Helsinki, when they were approached by a new man. She looked at him...pink hair was a sign of a Creditor, she knew that. But she wasn't in debt, she had nothing to fear.

She shook her head. "I was about to ask you the same." She said to Kizu, before looking back to him. "I believe we're alright here. Is there a problem that we should be aware of?" She asked, wondering if Kizu or Hex was in debt.

["Niel" Samuelson]

Linnea seemed quite put off by all this business and Niel now felt it his duty as a superior example of humanity and Manalism to get to the heart of the matter so that he could leave Linnea in peace and get about the meat of the job.

While Niel had never much gotten down that look that would tell he was taken aback, he had given it some thought and liked to believe that he had the principle of the thing. Giving his face a go, he gave Linnea a look much like a Frenchman who'd just overheard a loud and boysterous voice educating the populous that wine came from cows. If he could have had a mirror just then, he'd have clapped himself on the back.

"Surely, then, there must be something done to remedy the situation! Do you know how someone might meet Keitoleinen, Linnea? Is there a place he likes to frequent?" Said much with the air that he'd give the old boy a good talking to and let that be that.

[Akira 69]

"No. No problem." Akira replied cheerfully as he gave them a once over to find out what he needed to on them. None of them were in debt that he could see, not even the man that was with them which he was silently hoping was so he could beat the snot out of him later. "I thought it was impolite to stare so I decided to come over and introduce myself- I'am Akira 69." Akira added with another bow.

[Taylor Jones]

Taylor nodded. No problems was always a good thing. She smiled.

She looked at him a little quizzically when he said it was impolite to stare, but shook it off and smiled again. "Nice to meet you, Akira 69." She said. "I'm Taylor Jones." She wondered if Creditors often just stopped for random conversation.

[Alexei Nacharade]

After a while Alexei finds his way back to the hotel, giving a working girl a brief good-bye kiss. He'd lost count of how many shots he'd taken but he didn't much care. Running a hand down his stylish new red blazer he made his way to the room and knocked on the door.
