[B]Gratia Mindaro - An Old Friend[/B]

"[color=66cd00]People must be real fond of facefucking you, Dodici,[/color]" said Gratia Mindaro, her impassive, highly regulated tone carrying itself through the interior of the car. "[color=66cd00]It'd keep that mouth of yours from puking up all the bullshit you eat everyday.[/color]"

She had not turned around to face the scion of the Dodici clan. The older woman was far beneath her notice, a wingless mosquito who lived only at her mercies. A stain to wipe off the bottom of her boots; a pest that, had it not been for the information she wished to squeeze from a yet-to-be cooling carcass, would have been discarded on the side of the road like the trash it was. Her fingers drummed rhythmically against the steering wheel. Vitoria Dodici would answer her questions. It was the only choice she would give to the piece of scum. That was non-negotiable.

"[color=66cd00]I want to use your authority to retrieve every little shred of evidence of the Dodici's crimes,[/color]" she continued bluntly. "[color=66cd00]You will provide all the information you know to us.[/color]"

Straightforward demands.

The atmosphere grew heavy, suffocating.

[B]Shuai Taidan - Sticky Situation[/B]

"[color=ce2029]I can totally fly Kibro over, yaknow?[/color]" said Shuai Taidan breezily, manifesting his many-armed semblance once again to emphasise his point. "[color=ce2029]Easy-peasey, and the mission will be over by Christmas.[/color]"

He had a grand total of eight arms after all - six ethereal ones and two physical ones - and given that Varius could do the jump with little difficulty, as well as Noelle's shared flight capabilities, the only person he had to worry about not being able to cross a chasm of doom and despair was the bossman himself, and his abilities were more than enough to carry one super muscular guy.

"[color=ce2029]What's up with that turtle though?[/color]"
