[center] ++ BELLARINO ++ He took back the rose and smirked, Well, everyone is busy I think? Theres this big fuss over mother because she almost died from poison or something. We have plenty of time. Theyre distracted." Now that he reminded himself of why he felt so distressed earlier, Bellarino wondered, was it safe for his precious brother to walk through the castle yet?! But he pushed his thoughts aside, telling himself that neither him nor Belvederé were idiotic enough to get poisoned. "I think it's with all our tool shit. Ill go get it. He walked over to one of their drawers on the other side of the room, looking inside and spotting the assortment of knives and other items messily scattered. It wasn't the first time they needed to destroy something and Bellarino threw all of their tools into one place for times likes this. After digging around through the drawer, his hand pulled out a small red lighter. Heh, here it is. You wanna light it? he offered, and after confirming that the lighter actually worked, he returned to Belvederé. Bellarino placed the lighter into his brothers hand and held the rose in front of him. "Should we burn it now?"he asked excitedly. ++ VALLIX ++ Unaware of his niece's dilemma a few buildings away, Vallix stood in his shop with a crying male. The Mancini smiled as he patted the man on the shoulder and offered him a handkerchief - handmade by him with the best quality, of course - then watched as the wizard wiped the tears from his face. "I-I'm so sorry! For trying...*hic*...to rob you!" The man had been sobbing for the past ten minutes, apologizing to Vallix for his attempt at theft. "Please, do stop crying now, my friend." soothed Vallix patiently, his soft voice only causing the other wizard to cry even more. "You are not the first to try to steal from my shop, good wizard, and I have not reported a single person. You need not worry. I understand, really. Let us sit down at my table in the back, would you like some tea and snacks? We must really have a wonderful chat and get to know each other. I want to know more about the wizard who thinks my clothes are good enough to steal!" He happily smiled, placing an arm around the wizard, and led him to his living quarters behind the shopfront. It was a weekly ritual for Vallix to catch a thief in his shop, subdue them, reassure the burglar that he has forgiven them, invite them for a meal while he asks their life stories, then add them to his list of people who receive friend discounts. Vallix genuinely wanted to help the poor, desperate wizards who stumbled into his shop on a daily basis so he tried to befriend every customer - even wizards who tried to rob and sell the clothes he worked tirelessly to create. Even when he knew there were wizards who would gladly take advantage of his friendliness, like one frightening customer who ordered a fire proof cloak, Vallix still felt happy with his business. ++ TIARO ++ His fire proof cloak draped on his shoulders, Tiaro strolled through his garden, being led by one of the wizards he hired to take care of his plants. It took quite a while for him to steal enough plants from above and figure out how to make them survive in The Under, but he did it. His garden was kept in a well-guarded room in his base and any wizard foolish enough to try and break in dealt with Tiaro personally. While twenty five percent of the plants were merely for oxygen purposes, to counter the horrible air quality of The Under, seventy five percent of Tiaro's plants were what he used to create his drugs. "Found two plants fuckin wilted, Tiaro, but it's all good dey were only da air plants." explained the gardener, "But I planted ya three more new ones!" Tiaro nodded, glancing at the rows and rows of green in the room. "Acceptable work. Come with me." He turned around and immediately walked towards his office, his employee trailing after him like an excited puppy. Tiaro kept his garden close to his office so it did not take long to reach it. Opening the door with his key, the gardener wizard followed Tiaro inside and sat down in the chair across Tiaro's desk, watching as the blond counted a huge pile of money that he pulled from his drawer. "Your pay." Tiaro threw a stack of Belzecash at the wizard and was looked at with grateful eyes. "And you have pleased me with your thoughtful insight, so I have added a bonus. You are dismissed." He informed, knowing that treating his employees well would only secure their loyalty even further. "Thanks Tiaro! I'll see ya next month, eh boss?"the wizard exclaimed gleefully. Tiaro nodded quietly and watched his employee walk out of the room, holding onto the money protectively. Satisfied with how his business was going, Tiaro leaned back in his chair and let the thoughts run through his mind. Paper was a luxury in The Under, so Tiaro memorized everything. As a result he knew the names of every employee, customer, bill, debt, and other vital information like he knew the back of his hand. He knew he would be receiving payments that Ororo and his other thugs collected from his customers today and mentally calculated how much profit he would make. ++ SERAPHION ++ Letting Peppa Jack grab his phone, he listened intently to what Angiel was saying. Seraphion could tell that his son hesitated in answering Peppa Jack and he frowned, worry creeping into his chest. - ...There is always a possibility, but I can't just let an innocent man die, right? - he heard Angiel speak, and Seraphion wondered if he still felt guilty for not being able to save Klava Mioska. Angiel had not been able to save every innocent that had been executed and that protector was one of the more recent ones. - Alright. I'll try to get him out as soon as I can and I'll send him to the rendezvous point, so send your Cupcakes there. I'll call again if the situation changes or is something comes up. - "Angiel." Seraphion interjected before the knight hung up. "Be careful, alright?" - I will. - Angiel said before cutting the line, and Seraphion looked at Peppa Jack. He could still feel the anger seething from his friend. "We better start planning right away. Which Cupcakes are you planning to send?" ++ a n g e l i c ++ Meanwhile in Pitsta, Angelic only wanted to check out a local shop in order to buy a scarf, but someone recognized him and his plans for the day went downhill. "A-ah, hello, everyone..." mumbled the pink haired idol, his blue eyes scanning the crowd of wizards surrounding him. "Um..." His voice trembled as question after question and comment after comment were thrown continuously in his direction. "O-one question at a time...please?" he begged desperately, his soft voice sadly drowned by the excited fans. The situation was quickly spiraling out of his control and, by pure habit, he gripped the sleeve of his protector's shirt like a frightened child. He leaned into his protector's ear and asked in a low panicked whisper, "Satanic, d-do you have my notecards?" [/center]
