Since you didn't ask... (Mayadere and raleighallynn)

"Nnnnmmmm....." Flauros manages out with a bit of a purr, though it doesn't last very long as he merely leans more heavily against the unseen object before him. "You are going to have to better than that. I could get her back if I truly wished, but you cannot merely 'control' Lillith, you know. She is a wild thing. And you don't put those in cages, it makes them boring." The demon tilts his head to the side a bit, flashing another fanged grin. "And since my cousin is being so kind as to share such information, I will tell you a bit about him. Did you know he once actually wept tears over a kitten I gave him after he killed it? Honest to god tears, he shed! It was so stunning I could hardly contain myself. Laughable to think he actually wanted another." But Flauros was not budging. It was quite apparent the demon was firmly standing his ground.

Gin lets out a soft content sigh as Effy hugged onto him. He quickly hugs onto her. "Good.... I am really glad. Its scary sometimes when you change your face. You can easily forget who you are." Lightly he nuzzles his face against hers, slowly more cats would begin to enter the room. Many of the creatures looked a bit tense, worried. Quite possibly because what was about to go down outside, or maybe something else entirely. "I love you too, Effy. So much more than you'll probably ever know." He mutters out as one of the cats suddenly attempts to jump up into their laps.

"Stomping your feet like a child is not going to make me move any faster." Flauros suddenly leans forward, crossing his arms over some unseen object. He rests his head upon them, merely gazing towards Ra with a sharp fanged grin. "Much unlike you, I like to keep my toys happy. Its much better to have them trust you completely and come to you when you call rather than a lifeless corpse." A soft sigh would escape from the demons cracked lips as he rolls his head to the side, now resting it upon his arm. "You know how this goes. Give me something of greater value and I will give you the bitch. Throwing around your threats is very unbecoming." At this point, nearly all the cats seemed to have vanished. Flauros was obviously unphased by Ra's words, not even batting a flame filled eye at him.

"You underestimate Flauros a lot." Gin mutters, tilting his head a bit as Effy would size him up. "And yeah. I know how that is. You can feel them calling to you, sort of drawing you to them." He was silent a few moments. "Its the only way I found my way here, actually. He use to have a different place on the other side of town just outside of Micael's territory. Demons are really greedy things, but then again, so are a lot of creatures." He stops talking for a moment, slowly lifting up a hand to rub his eyes. "I really don't just want to hand you over to him, Effy. You'll die, you know? You'll die and I will just stop and be back to being Flauros' pet cat. Or maybe I'll just die too and that will be the end of it." A frown forms onto Gin's face as he shakes his head.

"But you know, they say death isn't that simple. Yeah your physical body dies, but there is still your soul left. Apparently a lot happens after you die and sometimes it is worse than what you are trying to escape." Gin finally turns though, to face Effy with probably the most serious face he has ever made. "This world without you is not some place I can really find myself being in."

My hands are insanely swollen right now, so it is -very- hard to type. I will try to have a post up daily, but I cant promise for our usual 3-4ish for a bit until my fingers heal some. :<

Since you didn't ask... (Mayadere and raleighallynn)

"Did you think I was kidding about burning her corpse? There will be nothing left for you to reanimate. If I am to kill her, I mean -all- of her. I destroy in wholes, not halves. If you want her corpse, what is it you will offer me in return? You better have something hefty on the table or leave now while I still tolerate your unwelcomed intrusion of my evening." Flauros merely stood still, arms now loosely crossed over his chest, giving the Necromancer a clearly bored stare. "Unlike most others I will allow minor intrusions, but this is stepping far over your bounds, especially with such demands that involves one of my toys."

Gin was quiet for a couple of moments while Effy spoke, he frowned a bit. "Ah, he just speaks what is on his mind and has a serious human-complex. I really didn't want to come here either, but, this is probably the second safest place in the city for us... Well, as long as he is feeling generous." A soft sigh escapes Gin as he pushes himself up off of the floor finally, he quickly stretches and plops down on the bed beside Effy, giving her a light nudge with his arm. "And its not that. Its more like... its in your blood." The shapeshifter tilts his head to the side for a few moments. "I didn't really notice it at first, but you do give off a strong sense of 'other' to you. Its very appealing to magical kind, I figure. I only read about that kind of stuff though, or well, Flauros told me about it." Gin stops talking for a moment, letting out a sigh. "He means well, he really does. Demons don't have all the emotions like humans do, you know? They can fake it but in the end, its still fake. Did he give you the whole 'love is the same as hate' talk while I was out?"

"If he truly didn't like you, he wouldn't have let you have any of his Vodka and the cats wouldn't even go near you."

Since you didn't ask... (Mayadere and raleighallynn)

"Of course I'd have to kill him too, he is far too infatuated with her. He'd probably die of heart break though, which I think would be much more amusing to watch. While I do enjoy watching the life leave the eyes of the living, I find nothing more enjoyable than to watch them slowly crush themselves under emotional hurt. It makes taking what is left all the more delicious, all the tiny broken bits. He was like that before, you know. Just slowly crushing himself, but then he met her." Flauros gripes. "And as for my 'distaste' for humans, that is only a given. I refuse to bow my head before an utterly flawed race that is barely out of its diapers. And as for that woman's blood. I would not know unless I drained her completely dry. A bit too messy for my tastes these days..." He watches silently as Ra picks up one of the cats that had gotten too close, he offered no real reaction, even as the feline leaped from his arms.

"Cats are the best company one could ask for. They are self-sufficient and do not require constant care, but are there to snuggle and listen to your woes and troubles if you need them to be. They are nothing like humans, despite what you say. Because while they do die and are reborn, they are never exactly the same cat... As to where when some humans are reborn they are merely the same thing over and over again." Flauros shakes his head. "I do not pick favorites among my pets. But if you do harm one I cannot promise you that you won't have cat guardian's warding off your dead, as you know, that is part of their job."

"I do not involve myself in the affairs of mortals because of their stupidity for power. Power is a dangerous thing that many abuse." The demon casts a downwards look towards Ra, narrowing his fire-brimmed gaze.

Gin seemed pretty happy to be set down once inside the room. Quickly his form changed, back into his cloths and everything. He offers a rather hopeful grin towards Effy. "Sorry about that... I slept here quite a bit and I was out like a light once the cats got back around me." He mumbles, his face now somewhat red. "I hope it didn't... freak you out too much. I don't normally change shape when I sleep, I hate it when he does that." Gin mumbles, waving his hands a bit at the cats staring at Effy. It took a few moments but eventually many of the felines looked away from her and began to go back about their normal routine. But there were still several who stood still, some staring at the doors, others staring at the walls and ceiling... almost as if waiting for something. They were quite on guard it seemed, prepared if anything. "Was Flauros mean or anything...?"

Since you didn't ask... (Mayadere and raleighallynn)

"Ah, yes. Such a long time in human years. I barely noticed." Flauros mutters with a faint smile at the corners of his lips, flashing a mouth of fanged teeth. "And your newest collectable, hm? She is a pretty little thing, I will agree to that, but I don't understand anyone's fascination with her. Literally a just meat attached to bones with a pretty, but damaged soul. Other than that though she is just another body among the masses, what is it that drives you all after her? I should just destroy her body along with her soul to end this little game you all are attempting to play." While it might have sounded joking, as he spoke his last sentence about completely destroying her, his icy blue eyes melted and the blue flames arose from his eye-sockets. He was quite serious.

"It is highly pathetic for you all to demean yourselves after a mortal with such a short lifespan. I am even disappointed in Gin for falling for such a thing, and here I thought he would have been smart enough to avoid humans." Flauros sighs loudly.

Since you didn't ask... (Mayadere and raleighallynn)

Flauros slowly raised a hand, lightly smacking it against his face. "Ah, dear me..." He grumbles faintly. "Now, quiet, the both of you, you can bitch at each other later. And by uninvited guests, do you mean the 'I brought you a gift' kind or the 'I am here to do some things, and not particularly good'? I am honestly in the mood for either at this point. Are they going to come down here or do I have to go up there?" Slowly Flauros pushes himself up, peering towards Effy holding onto the still cat shaped Gin. "And you might want to take yourselves to another room for a bit, depending on who these uninvited guests might be."

Though now when the demon stood up, he was not slouching over. Standing at his full height he towered above probably even Gin, who was rather tall in his preferred human shape. With his shoulders squared and chin raised, Flauros looked like he was about to go to war and slaughter. Something in his stance just screamed bad vibes as he turned to walk towards the door. Several of the cats were now on their feet, many looking towards the door and a few others darting off into other rooms.

Gin blinked up at Effy, lightly rubbing his head against her once more before attempting to carefully push his way out of her grasp. Things were going on now, and he was awake. He wanted to turn back into a human already, even though Effy had said he was much easier to manage in this shape. He actually sort of liked being held like this, it had been such a long time since he had been in a shape where he was small enough for someone to hold like this.

Since you didn't ask... (Mayadere and raleighallynn)

"Darling. Just because I rank high in the world of others does not mean I know everything. I work with souls and sinners, occasionally idiots who manage to summon me but that has not happened in a looong time." Flauros offers a one sided shrug as he tilts his head to the side a bit, leaning back in his chair. "It could be a number of things, though. Some people just naturally attract us, others give off strange pheromones, or the soul of the person. I once met a man who attracted Shades! Poor fellow was terrified until he learned they wouldn't hurt him." That manages a bit of a laugh from the demon, though eventually he shakes his head. "Its more than one that is after you, so it is making me think something to do with scent, possibly. Or maybe body fluid, if you've happen to have slept with all of them. Because I for sure am not feeling attracted towards you in any way, shape, or form."

Gin let out a soft rumbling sound as Effy held him tighter. He lightly rubbed his head against her contently. Slowly though his eyes would start to open, and a pair of vividly bright green eyes stares up at her, a small mew escaping him. Though his eyes close rather quickly and he just flops his head back against her.

Since you didn't ask... (Mayadere and raleighallynn)

Gin purred rather loudly, contently snuggling right into Effy. He was so soundly asleep at this point it was a bit surprising he hadn't woken yet from all the talking. But being rocked so calmly and just the warm feel of another body was quite the treat for him! Flauros just nods his head lightly, chuckling faintly before he plops back down into his chair, looking at the black and white cat with a snort.

"Don't you get me started, there is plenty of time for that later. Plus, just look at how adorable they are." Flauros gestures towards Effy holding the cat shaped Gin, almost like a parent would to their children during a school event or something. He seemed pretty proud of this on many levels. "Anyway, it is possible you do have some magic in your blood. A few humans do have it naturally, but its rare. What about your parents?" A few of the cats that had been snuggling around Gin mewed softly in protest, but otherwise seemed content to just watch Effy carry him around.

A Day and a Night of Crime

"Its not the ice itself. But the way its been used. Did you see the way they'd covered it head to toe? That's typical Addario, over the top flamboyance. I'm not ruling out the Campione's, but its not their style, killing someone not on their own turf."

"What's your name kid? And how long you been on the force?"

Hide just nods his head in agreement with the man as he spoke more on his previous words. He really didn't even seem to be paying attention to the reporters, but was obviously just about to burst from joy as the older officer asked for his name. "My name? My name." Hide starts, "Hide Hegio, sir! I've only been on the force for a year and a half. They wanted to keep me around the office mainly, but with how things have been going this week they needed a few extra hands out here... to hold things." He manages out, voice just brimming with excitement. Though the moment he tosses another glance towards the scene, he just shakes his head. "Not particularly my favorite thing, but its good to get some experience in, I suppose. Er, well, that is what they told me!"

Slowly Hide tosses another glance towards the other officer and then towards the reporters, falling silent.
