[center][color=FF5349][u][h3]Kendra[/h3][/u][/color][/center] [color=FF5349]"Huh,"[/color] Kendra said, now with both eyebrows raised. She'd been expecting his employer to be unusual, but demon king had definitely [i]not[/i] been her first thought. [color=FF5349]"If that's the case, then the chances of this plan working have improved considerably."[/color] Under normal circumstances, she would not want either herself or any of roommates, living or otherwise, to make any dealings with anyone who associated with demons. Fortunately - or unfortunately, depending who you asked - everything relating to Abberline was, at least in Kendra's book, labelled as anything but normal. [color=FF5349]"When Abberline first came to town, I had a vision that he was going to become a major problem,"[/color] the Oracle said. [color=FF5349]"And that his defeat would only come about at the hands of an alliance between all four Factions."[/color] They rolled their eyes. [color=FF5349]"Which I initially dismissed as being as likely as Hell freezing over, if you'll pardon the expression."[/color] There is the faintest hint of a smirk forming on Kendra's face which Mitra will get the impression - and something Grace will know for a fact - is not something she does often. Clearly, she thought what she just said was very witty. [color=FF5349]"However, it just so happens that Abberline has heard of this prophecy too, and he's apparently far less cynical than I am. At even the hint of alliance between all four factions, he should retreat."[/color] She pointed to Mitra. [color=FF5349]"Your association with a demon, Misty's occupation and Grace being, well, Grace means we've got Wild, Power and Night covered. We're only missing Mortality."[/color] Mitra will notice as Kendra is saying this, her eyes are very pointedly trying not to look toward the car she exited from, where Trinity is still seated. [color=FF5349]"I don't advertise my gifts often, and do my best to keep my head down when I can. There is a chance that Abberline doesn't already have me on his list of future hunts, and that I may be able to pass as a normal human being."[/color] That hint of a smirk became more obvious as she added, [color=FF5349]"For once in my life."[/color] The smile then faded completely to a much grimmer expression, which looked far more at home on Kendra's face. [color=FF5349]"However, if he doesn't fall for it, we may end up escalating the situation and he might end up hurting Misty, presuming he hasn't already. And even if it does work and he flees, well, we've just revealed our faces to a man who hunts the supernatural for shits and giggles. If Abberline doesn't already have a file on each of us, he will after tonight, and we'll probably have raised up in his hitlist."[/color] Kendra shrugged. [color=FF5349]"Now, Abberline doesn't scare me, but I don't know about how well that would sit with you."[/color] She turns her gaze from Mitra towards Grace. [color=FF5349]"That goes for you too, Grace. I won't force either of you to do this if you're not prepared for the problems it's very likely going to bring."[/color] She shrugged again. [color=FF5349]"Then again, Abberline's probably going to end up being a whole lot of peoples' problem sooner or later. You don't get a MacBeth-styled prophecy about you by being lowkey."[/color]
