Too Bad(GENESIS/INVITE)

[Elstan Shadow]

"Please, please STOP!" begged a male. Achuckle rang out in the darkness, the sound of a blade being drawn could be heard, the person came out of the shadows, a man crawled back until his back hit a wall. He was trapped. "Tell me where it is!" the young female said. Coldness and malice shone in her green feline eyes. "I- I don't know what you're talking about!" the man stuttered. The silver haired woman brought her left feet down and the man's right shin, shattering it. He yelled out in pain. "Quiet!" Elstan hissed. "I want to know where my Mother is! I know you worked for ShinRa... NOW TALK!" she yelled. It was a secluded place of this sunshine retreat, somewhere, where nobody trod unless need be. "L-Last time Hojo... He had her." the man said. "Hojo is dead you idiot." Elstan spat. She had had enough and drew her pistol and shot the man in the head, bloot spattered on her coat, corset and trousers.

Elstan left the alley and sighed. "People are so useless." she sighed. She wiped the blood off her face and went back to her hotel. She took the back way as to avoid suspicion. She took off her clothes and had a shower. She didn't hear her phone rining until it was too late. She got out of the shower, and dressed in a plain white, cotton nightdress and picked up her phone and looked at it. Two missed calls. Unkown number. It read. Elstan sighed and sat on the sofa and switched on her MP3 player and sat there reading Romeo & Juliette.

A couple of hours passed, and Elstan decided to change and head to the bar. She needed a drink after today's events. She had gotted her lip pierced whilst she was on holiday. Snakebites is what she had. Elstan already had a few tattoos on her arms and chest. She got to the bar and ordered a whiskey. She downed it in one. She just wanted some peace for now, nobody wanted to piss her off right now, and if they did, she would be the last thing they saw...

[Leon Walter Deltova]

It was about five in the afternoon, according to Leon's watch. The lull of the day was heavy, and a small crowd of people were idling about inside the sea side bar. Soft music was playing from some old album, slight chatter between patrons, and the occasional clink of glass noted from the bar.

Leon had chosen a seat in the corner of the bar, away from the main seating area. It was quiet, cool, and dim in the corner, making him somewhat invisible to the casual eye. With a bottle of whiskey in front of him, and a small glass, Leon kept himself occupied by taking apart one of his pistols, and inspecting it. This particular pistol had fallen from its holster after Leon had hastily put it away after completing a job. Now, remnants of dirt and a little bit of lubrication oil remained in the slide as well as the ejector. Taking a small cloth from within his coat, Leon carefully cleaned each piece, shaking the loose particles out of the cloth once an area was cleaned.

Now with a cleaned weapon, all he had to do was re-assemble it and test it. Quickly pulling the weapon together, Leon took the clip that had been in the weapon and ejected all of the bullets in it. Placing them all in an upright position before him in a small grouping, Leon slid the magazine into the receiver and allowed the gun to cock. The slide closed without any trouble and the hammer kicked like it should have. With a nod, Leon released the magazine from the receiver.

He reloaded the magazine with the bullets and slid it back into the gun. Making sure that the safety was on, Leon holstered the weapon and snapped its clasp. Taking a moment, Leon quickly went over his other two pistols. Satisfied with their working condition, Leon moved on to examine his swords.

It was during his inspection of his swords that a woman entered the bar. She went directly to the bar and ordered a drink. From her apparent demeanor and from the fact that she downed the drink in one shot, told Leon that she was either having a bad day, or she was a hardened warrior, that, or the two of them combined. Whatever the case was, Leon decided that her dealings were her own, and returned to inspecting the edge on his swords.

The day grew late and as always Genesis appeared at the right time to approach his partner, Elstan sat there stareing longingly into that half-full glass of hers, though it amused him he thought nothing of it and swiftly made his way into the bar. His appearance caught many off edge as his stature determined he was a SOLDIER as well the way he moved with such grace and authoeirty in such strides, the pace was flawless and yet Genesis' eyes was fixed on the female in front of him.


"Lose something?" He asked in a playful manor as he took up a seat on the side of her, he ordered a simple glass of water with a umbrella. As childish as it looked and sounded he enjoyed the little things it was those things in fact that made his experince out side of Shinra all the more worth while, playing with his decorative entertainment he once again planted his gaze on Elstan's figure reminding himself of how attractive and beautiful a person she is.

[Elstan Shadow]

Elstan looked at Genesis and ordered another drink. "Genesis, please, if I don't find Takahashi soon, I'm screwed." She said. Elstan rested heer head on his shoulder. "If you need me I will be in my room. Number 306." She smiled, she kissed his cheek as she left and downed her drink, slamming the glass on the bar.

Back in her room, Elstan went through the files she had been given. The ShinRa company didn't stand for traitors, however she had to be as discreet as possible. She had already killed one person, more were to die as well if they didn't tell her Takahashi's location. She turned on the TV, just for some background noise. She knew this town was a favoured place of her target's, but she knew he had informants, but she had to be careful.

[kriivanwinters]

The auburn-haired man merely smiled, his crimson jacket lofted as he seated himself properly and watched as the drips of moisture slipped down the side of the glass in an attempt to escape its confine.


Such small thoughts made all the difference to this man and as that particular drip he had his eye on melded within the wood works of the bar. He merely released a sigh, the thought of warriors, hero's even saviors come and go during time for such a merit of life is something even he can not fight against, the only comfort he could ask of time, fate, destiny even is to give him a glorious death for when such a time would come a death to be remembered and recorded within the chapters of history.


Such a thought caused him to smile for it was within him, the warrior that sort battle with honor and valor a fight that would bring him fame and glory for a time that he would surpass his friend and target Sephiroth perhaps to even have more influence than Shinra it's self. Dangerous thoughts for a dangerous man but all the same it would only bring a simple, supple smile of the idea. Genesis watched as he saw his partner walk away to her room, he would remember her number and perhaps drop in for a more intimate conversation but Elstan had seemed stressed and this person... Takahash wasn't familiar to him, perhaps a dear friend or an enemy she sought? If so he would prefer to aid her in any way possible.

For now however he supposed she would rather be alone and perhaps find out more about her objective. The crimson male himself had nothing to do and was temporarily on leave for unknown reasons plus it was never an option rather a forced vacation out of the Shinra premises, they had a habit of of doing this more often than what was comfortable for Genesis' linking, the thought of cameras being set up to watch them train or even in their living quarters. The thought only annoyed him as he pressed a singer at the edge of his glass and circled around it making tender humming sounds due to the friction and moisture implied to cause a vibration making the content of the glass ring in a low tone.

He then picked up the glass and took light sips unlike a barbarian he considered himself a better of those who filled up the space of the room and thus took the stance of such.

[Elstan Shadow]

Elstan took the back door out of the hotel. Something had just opened her investigation into a whole new light. She gently pushed party goers out of her way as she walked towards her destination.

There was a beach party going on. Unfortunately, it was invitation only, this didn't stop the Angel of Death. When the bouncer wasn't looking, she sneaked past him. There was Takahashi, the host. She kept to the crowds, not wanting to be spotted. This was risky, the SOLDIER emblem around her neck glinted in the moonlight. "Yes I need to be wary. According to my sources, SOLDIER has dispatched one of their best Assassins, she known as the Angel of Death because..." Before Takahashi could finish, Elstan pierced his throat with her hidden blade. "Because of my swift kills." She finished for him. She took a few drops of his blood and placed them in a vial.

Elstan fled the scene before anyone had chance to catch her. She entered through the back, the same way she had left the hotel. Elstan entered her room and switched on her laptop and sat down. She turned on her web-cam and sighed. "Takahashi is dead." She said to the Director and showed him the vial of blood. She then turned her computer off and began cleaning her weapons.

[Duorzum]

Why Costa Del Sol? The surf, the sun, the sand, and the sneaking around, that's why.

The man kept to himself in the bar, sticking to the darker parts in an attempt to avoid being seen. Duo only came to Costa Del Sol just to throw off his pursuers. They wouldn't expect someone like him to go to a place where nothing happens. Which is why it was perfect. Might as well enjoy a drink while he was at it, too. Besides, he had gil. Not earned, but he still had money. After this, he'd be checking out soon.

He had a bad feeling that one of his pursuers was in the very waters near the coastline, and he guessed that it was amphibious.

Duo took a swig of the drink, not wanting to think about the possible amphibian lurking under the waves outside. His other educated guess was that it had friends. There was never a place that he felt safe in, not even in a sunny place like this. He could, at least, stall them for the time being. The experiment's train of thought was interrupted when he saw Elstan. Didn't he interact with her before? Bah, he couldn't remember. Keeping quiet, he noticed a red-head enter the bar.

Duo knew this one. Genesis. After all, the scientist made a failed copy of him, and was incinerated due to having his cover blown as a spy behind enemy lines.

The demon had also read Genesis' files saved in the Master Archives. Interesting to have someone of his stature appear in a bar, of all places. One of his armored finger-claws idly clicked against the hollow glass in a slow, steady rhythm, a wary habit. He kept his eyes on the area, and his ears open to any screaming outside.

With any luck, he'd have a safe place to hide for now.

It was a good moment whilst it lasted, the drink slipping its way down the gentleman’s throat as he took in the taste, bitter with the need for sweetness but never getting any, like vinegar with no fries. An annoyance to say the least but you can’t have one thing without the other and a sigh of relief to go with it. The red-haired male stood from the bar and looked to the tender with a plain expression, which swiftly turned into a nod of acceptance and leaving an expendable and large sum of Gil, needless currency in the eyes of a SOLDIER for the currency he spent was lives, hopefully lives would not have to be paid when facing off such a deadly opponent.

The auburn haired man took into account what Elstan had said earlier and to drop around hers when he was finished at least it was preferable for him to finish his drink before seeing his partner. However the atmosphere at changed within the area as his eyes glazed over a man shrouded in darkness, it wasn’t hard to tell this person was formidable but also hiding, which also told Genesis he had a reason to hide and most likely from someone or something. Perhaps a being stronger than himself? Most probable, but Genesis’ interests in the matter were minor compared to what Elstan was up to and how he entertained such thoughts, as such the circumstances demanded he visit and with a mere few minutes of walking up a set of stairs and strolling down the corridors he knocked on the assassin’s door with the allotted door number with the following words “Are you in?” As ever drift in the tone of his voice, sweet and simple with the same request to join her within her room.

[Elstan Shadow]

Elstan wasn't a fool, she knew her enemies would record the voices of those she cared about. She got her gun and attached the silencer to the end of the barrel, slid the safety off and walked towards the door cautiously. She had her back against the wall. Elstan opened then door and pointed her gun at... Genesis? She sighed and put her gun down. "Holy crap, Genesis, I could've killed you!" She said. She wrapped her arms around her lover and held him tight. "Please, come in." She smiled and took his hand.

[kriivanwinters]

Genesis merely smiled at the barrel of the gun glaring at his forehead, then the beauty followed his her arm extended and ready to kill. It was these times that he loved the most, the amusing subjects of having a gun pointed at him and with his partner at the other end holding the gun made it seem like a action/romance. Then her supprised look followed as expected, and yet the SOLDIER still smiled lightly, a small hint edged at the corner of his mouth as he gazed into her wide-eyes awe-shocked glare. Even now she was still radiating with the physical attraction he came to love and adore, then her personality came into play as she quickly lowered the gun and explained how she could have killed him.


"You could have tried" he smiled as he placed his right arm around her waste and the left on the mid-way of her back holding her close. A simple whisper as he placed his mouth nex to the right side of her ear "But that would be bad for your health" he teased in a light joke, still with an innocent smile he was led into her door and with a brush of the hand he closed the door behind him.

"So, care to tell me in detail, what the gun is for?" He asked with a lilt in the tone of his voice.

[Elstan Shadow]

Elstan weakened at his touch. "You'll have to wait and see." She said and pulled him into her room and closed the door. "I had a job tonight... He's dead... The ShinRa betrayer." Elstan said. She looked into Genesis's beautiful eyes. "Its my job as the Captain of the Assassins to make sure no one breathes a word of anything top secret at ShinRa. Its no wonder the public and the news have given me the nickname The Angel of Death." She said. Elstan wanted Genesis so badly, that she couldn't help herself. She kissed him deeply. This love was never shown around HQ, only when they were alone.
