Los Paraisos: The Grande Diamond - Top Floor

“You and your people are bandits, Mr. Hunter. Why wouldn’t you do this?”

"Hey, I don't think I appreciate your attitude, Ken." Neil scoffed, sounding almost offended. "If I wanted to screw you over, I wouldn't do it like this."

Selan's fists tightened in her lap. This had taken an unprecendented turn; Neil had become the focus of their attention, but it seemed they had no intention of leaving this room. She tilted her head towards Marcus, who seemed even more antsy to leave in search of Estelle.

"Tch." Neil clicked his teeth as Kenneth was preoccupied with his earpiece. It was supposed to be a smooth operation, as always. Where did all this bullshit come from?


The Grande Diamond - Casino Hall

Lisette paled at the sight of the man holding his baton over his head threateningly.

"M-Mister...!"

"We've got you, Little Sis!" Don's bros doubled back to help. "We'll take care of him!"

As Lisette ran away, the bros dropped the officer in seconds flat, kicking away his baton and walloping him with their bare hands.

The sounds of doors detaching violently from their frames and getting launched across the room echoed across the lobby so loudly that it was hard to tell where all the noise was coming from. The coast was clearing little by little as the remaining officers and bros were occupied by each other.

Looking around, she definitely didn't want to be anywhere near the scary-looking man that was fighting Moira and Syed. Hurrying upstairs as quickly and quietly as she could, she spotted an elevator near the top of the stairwell. Elevators were safe, right? But as much as she pressed the button, it wouldn't open; someone must be on it already!
Alright, I'm getting my post(s) up now! If your character is in a scene with Lisette, please do not ninja me, okay? I'm exhausted and I won't have the energy to edit if that happens.

I'm so tired and I have a lot to juggle from now until Monday since my worth-a-huge-portion-of-my-grade speech will be due and my dad's visiting this weekend, so I don't have a lot of confidence in being able to post every single one of those days. I'll let you guys know, but just wanted to leave a warning. Finals are coming up in a few weeks and I've got about 6 big assignments and 2 exams to work on simultaneously with due dates scattered all over the place, so I'm just really busy right now @_@

Woke up to cats fighting outside, read your post, gonna delete the Lisette portion of mine and fix it later (I have it saved in notepad). Sorry for mix-ups and such!

Good night again @_@
I kinda rushed out my post, I'm extremely exhausted (I barely got any sleep last night and I woke up earlier to finish my homework at school). I hope you guys enjoy it though, I had fun visualizing a couple things. I realize in hindsight that I totally didn't get to describing any background stuff, I'll put more effort into that tomorrow, I promise! OTL


Los Paraisos: The Grande Diamond - Top Floor

So Lady Vasco knew.

Selan narrowed her grey eyes coldly in the woman's direction, lifting her chin defiantly. It seemed there really was no hiding anything at this point. She even used that word word to describe her, too. Selan could sense magic as well to an extent, but interestingly, she couldn't tell that Lady Vasco had the ability to block it.

Dumont looked aghast, while Kenneth and Neil simply looked on with bemused curiosity.

"I think there's been a misunderstanding here," Selan started, trying to deescalate the situation, but the instant the words left her mouth, Lady Vasco clearly wasn't buying it. It wasn't entirely far from the truth; there was little she could do to suppress the magical effects of her voice and movements.

A commotion erupted, causing all eyes to fly towards the flurry of movement on the security monitors. For the first time all day, the sight of Don's masked face brought genuine relief.

"Do you know anything about this?! Do you have anything to do with this?!" Iliana shouted at them, looking furious to have lost control of the situation. "Tell me! Tell me or so help me you will regret it!"

Selan pressed her lips into a thin line and continued to stare at the monitors. As long as Marcus's identity remained concealed, she assumed they would stay safe until the rescue party arrived. And perhaps, they might even panic and take them away to wherever Estelle and Josette were being kept...

"Hey, the lady asked you a question," Neil finally spoke up, throwing his empty wine glass into the fireplace. The shatter caused Selan to flinch, but she remained silent. "Now that you can talk, you better start..."


The Grande Diamond - Lobby

"Whoa, whoa!" Lisette shouted as she flinched from Syed's electicity sailing overhead. She goose-stepped over the bodies of the fallen officers; she was unarmed and hadn't had the time to work on her offensive magic...

"Eeeek!" she shrieked, once she felt a hand grabbing at her boot. She looked down to see a very pissed off-looking officer trying to keep her from proceeding. "Let go, let... go!"

With her eyes squeezed shut, she stomped with her other foot straight down on officer's elbow. He gasped in shock and pain, saliva flying from between his clenched teeth. The awkward movement caused her to fall backward on her rear end.

A couple of Don's bros ran over to yank Lisette upright, and following Moira's judgment call, headed for the stairs.

"Lissa, baddie at seven o'clock! Or eight!" Trixie called over.

"Huh...?" Lisette whirled around to see an officer jogging towards her.
Okay, I did a bad thing D| I didn't have my night class last week, so I completely forgot about my homework that's due tomorrow, and it's 1:30 AM D: This is pretty much the only time I have to do it and I can't pass the class if I miss any homework, so that means I can't post tonight, I'm really sorry :( My next post will cover the stuff that happened in yesterday and today's posts for sure.
@Buns: I just got caught up on the IC, oh snap at Vasco! I'm super glad you remembered that, I'm very happy! 8]

@Rex: I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather :c If you do go to his funeral, have a safe trip!

I fell asleep for 3 hours D| Good thing I didn't have any homework to do today, blergh. I'll get my post up tonight, and I'll probably just skim through Avatar, they were all pretty good episodes IMO but they aren't episodes I'm dying to rewatch, you know? I remember I first got into the series on the day of the Season 1 finale because they were marathoning all the episodes, so that's probably why I didn't have a problem with any of the episodes at the time, I watched them in one go instead of just a few of varying quality per week.


Los Paraisos: The Grande Diamond - Top Floor

“Miss Leclair, I… do pardon me for being so forward, but would you mind showing us your talents? After reading about you in the paper, why, it was a tremendous shame I wasn’t able to see you perform there. But to have the opportunity now would be… simply exquisite.”

"Yes, of course, Lord Dumont." Selan began to comply, but her eyes drifted to Kenneth, and to the monitors that she had not seen until now. Marcus was eyeing them occasionally as well. She didn't know what the devices were, but she certainly recognized the familiar shapes on the screen, particularly that of the white-haired woman.

Why would he be watching them...?

She left her seat and began to walk closer to the fireplace so they could all see her. With her back turned, her mind was working a mile a minute. Her main problem was that there was no doubt she would be recognized if she fell back into speaking in her first language, and they didn't need the unnecessary attention from a man like Neil Hunter. The more doubt she could cast on her identity, the better. But most importantly, if she could just capture the attention of the three men as well as Lady Vasco, she could "soften" their minds somewhat, perhaps entice them to be a little looser with information. At the very least, she aimed to impress Dumont in particular. On the downside, there was essentially no way to communicate with Marcus, to let him know not to listen or to look.

The fireplace cast a seductive glow behind Selan, highlighting her as she crooned and danced in place once again. To Lady Vasco's annoyance, Selan's movements were much more suggestive and upfront than her previous performance, barely looking at her or Marcus.
I'm working on a post now, it might take me a while but it'll be up eventually, hahah.

Edit: Post is up! I actually had to rewrite it, I had a different idea for it but realized afterward that it made no sense. o3o
I totally burned my tongue on my coffee =_= I'll try and get caught up on Avatar after school today, but if not I'll do it tomorrow!
