Sorry for my lack of posts lately. I've just... been struggling to get the energy to write something up. I'm trying some new meds through so hopefully that will change soon.
Shit, I want to apologise for my lack of posting; between traveling around and computer issues I've kind of had trouble posting. Things should be back to normal tomorrow afternoon.
Sorry for the delay... And the lack of posts. Just assume that Tushienia is building up more forces, doing its research and all that. I blame the lack of army movement of intercepted messages.
The place held some fond memories for Draco. While he had been happily guided to the light of the gods by his own means, the Boutique had been the first place that he could go to as a worshiper without having to worry about hiding his faith or having to sing false praises to a corpse on a chair. It was a place where the enlightened could go to let their hair down... through not to far down. On his second visit he had seen a woman get strangled to death with her own hair because a visiting member of one of the Princess's cults had wanted to try something new while on a drug high.
He didn't get to visit the place as often as he would have liked; Before he had founded his own cult, Draco had to visit several other businesses that sold antiques in order to build up a reputation for antiquing so as not to draw unwanted attention to himself or to the establishment if and when he visited it. After the cult was established, he had simply been to busy to go that often. He had sent a couple of people in its direction before through; Occasionally one of the members of his cult tended to lean towards one of the gods more then the others and needed somewhere to properly indulge in their worship and he was more then happy to give them a card and tell them where they needed to go.
As the small group consisting of himself, Rosalux and two of his guards approached the antique store, Draco felt the need to address a concern of his. "Due to the fact that I am granting you entrance via vouching for you, I feel the need to impose a request. If we discover Mr Yidara here I would like you to so some restraint and subtly in how you handle the situation. I don't want someone I'm vouching for causing a scene the first time they are there. I'm sure you have plenty of ways to get him to leave with you quietly without causing a ruckus or an incident..."
Decorum had not completely decayed from the once pampered girl, and as a guest she felt it would be apt to request a reprieve in which she could freshen up. Of course, it wasn’t entirely for the benefit of her new found companion; doors fell away easier when you possessed the air of someone accustomed to having them opened for you. She stood beside him and his guards with a more subtle exaltation of Nurgle, something she had apologized for in the shower. She would make it up to the Father though. Blonde curls had regained some of their bounce, enough to cascade about the lingering dread knots to disguise the disarray. A pair of dark glasses perched on her nose, shaped by nobility, and completed the minute makeover to normalcy. Hopefully Nurgle would see past this facade to her diseased heart while others would be dissuaded.
She followed along with Draco's gait, glancing towards him as he warned of behavior. It was an honest request, one that was answered with a curt nod and flashing smile that proceeded vocalization. “Of course. I would prefer not to draw attention to either of us. Thank you again.”
Satisfied with the answer that he had been given, Draco nodded his head before passing through the threshold of the Gentlemen's Boutique of Intriguing Antiques with his guard detail in tow, followed hopefully by Rosalux as well even if there wouldn't be any skin off his nose if she didn't.
Making a short show of looking through the official display of merchandise on the very real chance that there was someone on the payroll of one of the other noble families watching him while trying to find some weakness to use against him in the great game of politics, Draco finally approached the guarded door marked 'VIP' before reaching into a pocket of his jacket and removing a small card and a stone. A small wave of the stone over the card reveled the pointed star that served as the universal symbol of the true gods. Pointing out his two guards and female companion, he simply said "They're with me." to justify their presence as he stepped through the door that would lead to the real reason people came to the store.
Gutter's ears and tail twitched a little in the strange human's direction at the call of Rat Person. Sure, it was what he was and there was no denying that, but it implied that the manthing didn't consider him worthy enough to have his name remembered. "Gutter's name is Gutter sickly manthing." Gutter muttered darkly as he glanced in the direction of the two members of their team that seemed to be fatally attracted to black make up. Glancing towards 'glasses girl', Gutter offered her a small nod of his head in acknowledgement; Silly looking manthings in black should take the time to learn their names after all.
Shortly afterwards the meeting got underway and their missions were offered to them, teams being set up shortly afterwards. Gutter ears started to twitch a little bit once more as he started to bite at a part of his arm that was itchy in thought while he considered the team build up and the missions that both teams would be sent on... Considering his own skill set, Gutter removed the arm from his mouth in order to speak up to converse with their benefactor "Mr Merlovich, Gutter would like to swap places with Variant. Team Mechanic could use a magic user while Team Bank could benefit from having more sneaky-sneak on their team. Less dead hostages."
