Vince had seen them before they located him, they were hoping he would be out in the open but that was not the case for him. He only managed to loose these people for so long, they wore armor that made any kind of meddling on his part impossible. He buried himself in the crowds but it didn't work. They found him and tranquilized him, nothing special. He fell unconscious, cursing himself for not being able to fight anyone. He should have gone into the corporate side of the meta world.

The sun was bright enough to wake him, it was hot and nothing like the rays that got through the smog of LA. There were also a pair of bikini clad girls pointing and giggling, humans were pretty dumb. Running a hand through his slightly sanded hair he stretched it had been quite the nap. For some reason he felt like there was someone who he was trying to avoid but he didn't know who. He didn't know where he was or how he had got here but maybe someone on this beach would know.

He noticed a girl sitting under a palm tree, she looked vaguely familiar. He approached her as intimidatingly as he could, holding out his hand for her to shake or help herself up. He introduced himself, "My name is Vince and I couldn't help but wonder if we've met before, you look familiar." He smiled kindly at her.

Avarice 

"It's fine, I think it's a bit odd too but my parents gave me that name..." She paused for a moment as if trying to remember if that was true, "Well that's what I assume happened." She sighed before realizing her bathing suit was gone. She shook her head and pushed away the towel, "I would never wear that, thank you for the offer but I have my own solution." She snapped her fingers and a black strapless dress appeared, tight and fitting. 

"Who ever did this is just like you and me, I'm going to catch him and skin him alive before I throw him into the ocean." Her smile did not falter and her tone stayed the same, just another day for her. "You could help if you want but I have nothing to offer you if I do. Of course all you have better to do is sit here sipping martinis and whatnot." She was still smiling though the idea of actually doing something put some life into her. "That boy...Kuro... He'll do this again and I'd like to keep the people who actually care about this stuff from overreacting." She didn't care how convincing that sounded; this Kuro, names came back but not anything else, was dead meat. He messed with the wrong girl, the real Cer would have taken it but Avarice was not Cer and there would be hell to pay for anyone who disrespected her.
