"I hope so."

"Yes. So, um...is there anyone else we should ask for help with this? Aside from Lance and whoever Ivory called."

2015-09-27 07:35:35

●

"Aside from Anndrea? Probably not. This could get back to them and well...I don't doubt they would kill him off in an instant."

2015-09-27 07:37:32

🌀

"....that is true. Alright. But if we do need more help, I think we should ask."

2015-09-27 07:41:06

●

"I guess, but who?"

2015-09-27 07:41:59

🌀

"Hm...Hunter knows how to deal with them. Zane, at least, if not Cale, would be an asset. If Ren defended Ivory against the blonde woman before, perhaps them."

2015-09-27 07:43:19

●

"I don't want a drug dealer near me. I don't care if they saved Ivory or not."

2015-09-27 07:44:40

🌀

I frowned. "They aren't a drug dealer. Madison and Lucinda were spreading rumors."

2015-09-27 07:45:35

●

"...Are you serious?"

2015-09-27 07:47:02

🌀

"Yes, I am."

2015-09-27 07:48:20

●

"Well that's completely immature."

2015-09-27 07:48:47

🌀

"It's Madison, what's to be expected? But they're perfectly safe."

2015-09-27 07:50:59

●

"I've yet to meet Madison, so I wouldn't know."

2015-09-27 07:51:43

🌀

"I wouldn't advise it. So far he has several people clamoring for his blood. And not because they like how it tastes."

2015-09-27 07:52:54

●

"I see. I'll try to avoid him then."

2015-09-27 07:54:17

🌀

A short while later, we went to the shop to meet up with the others. I'd thrown on my sweater and grabbed the emergency baseball bat out of the closet. Good for large spiders of both types and fighting off robbers. Too bad I hadn't had the presence of mind to get it during the break-in before. I kept my wings out. Who knows, maybe I can do surveillance, but either way they'll be good in a fight.

Ivory stood outside the shop, waiting for Seculus and Terezi to show up. Eventually the two of them did. Occasionally, Ivory would glance around, looking for her 'friend' to show up.

A man drove through various back roads on his motorcycle. A satchel at his hip, an electric purple tie around his neck, and his helmet strapped on tight. Those were his top three favorite things. Well, along with the weapons inside said satchel. Being as quiet as best he could, he pulled into the back of a dress shop. Quiet now. She had the paranoia of a CEO whose company was going under. He shut off the engine, and his steel toed combat boots hit the pavement. Quietly, he unfastened his helmet, put it in the small compartment of his motorcycle, stuck the keys in his pocket, adjusted his lip piercing and hair slightly, and quietly made his way to the front of the shop. He saw her. There she was. Well...the back of her. With two other people. This will be fun. He sneaked up behind her, withdrew a small throwing knife, and pulled Ivory into a hold, pressing the knife to her neck.

With a jolt, Ivory looked up. Then smiled. "Oh, hey Nick."

He chuckled. "Did I scare you?"

I spun around at the voice, preparing my bat, and raised it to swing at sight of the knife -- oh. This must be her friend. I lowered it. Slowly. Very slowly. "That is /not/ a nice way to greet people."

2015-09-27 08:23:49

●

He looked over at the other two. "These your friends?"

"Mhmm."

"Now whose the gorgeous angel before us who is probably currently trying to win your affections."

"Seculus."

"Okay, and who is the man in the sweater?"

"...Seculus."

2015-09-27 08:29:50

🌀

...what the bloody Hell is he on about? I was too thrown off to even bother blushing about 'gorgeous' or protest the 'trying to win your affections' bit. He was a devil. That probably said something about how much I could trust what he said, even if Ivory protested that they weren't all bad. I stepped protectively between him and Terezi. "Honored. Now can we just get on with it, please?"

2015-09-27 08:35:57

●

"...I'm straight. Thank you very much." Terezi spoke up.

"But Ivory isn't." He straightened out. "Yes, yes we can." He opened the door for Ivory. "Come on in you two, I hate you both already."

2015-09-27 08:37:43

🌀

I glared a bit, but moved inside, holding it for Terezi. "The feeling may be mutual. Feel free to try and change my mind."

2015-09-27 08:39:18

●

Ivory just stepped into the shop.

"Nikolas, please don't harass them already." Lance spoke as they all entered.

"Can't help it. I hate everyone who isn't me."

"That's a lie." Ivory pointed out.

"...Fuck you."

Terezi wearily stepped inside. Well then. He certainly had a personality.

2015-09-27 08:42:40

🌀

"Hello, Lance. It seems I managed to figure it out myself, with a little help from Ivory." I spread my wings a little and closed the door, locking it behind me.

2015-09-27 08:46:50

Lance looked from Ivory to Seculus. "She is quite the special one, isn't she?"

"I'm nothing special." Ivory frowned.

"Yes you are." Nick sat down on the glass counter.
