The Blood Red Tavern

[Cortlen1211]

Eltore Machiovelli was at one of the tables with the two assassins from earlier. Each one had some alcoholic drink, but it was clear that Eltore had red wine.
"Signore Eltore, what will we do now? Signore Fang is dead," the female assassin inquired.
"I do not know. We must rebuild, Alisa. With out him, a lot of our students will be at a loss," Eltore replied solemnly.
All three of them sat silently for a while, thoughts of Fang running their heads.
A shrine in the graduation room will be made for him. Lost, but not forgotten, my old friend.

Resha went in the tavern. O.O She didn't really thought much about it, and to be honest, this was not the place she would ever thought to be. Had she been with her brother, he'd never let her go in a tavern either.

"But this is the kind of place I might be able to find information about brother's whereabouts," she mused to herself. Still unsure of being in the tavern.

[Cortlen1211]

The three assassins noticed the girl walk in, and quietly muttered amongst themselves. "Another commoner," Alisa whispered, questioning why so many had arrived over the three years she had been in the brotherhood. "Silenzio Alisa. This is a tavern to the eyes of many people. A hideout to very few. No one is to talk about the brotherhood, unless this woman knows Fang," Eltore snapped.
The other male assassin continued to watch the new girl. Eyes shadowed by his hood. "Signore, she walks this way."

[kotaro7914]

Kotaro entered the tavern, a picture in his right hand. His contact had been specific to meet him here, and only here. He looked at the picture again, and spotted his contact. He approached him and sat down next to him. "Large Eye?" He said. The man looked at him. "Right on time. You really are professional Kotaro."

[neon kun]

Resha felt that she should be fazed, really. For some reason though, she just felt like she had to ask. So she went towards a group of people who seemed to have been looking at her.

Dressed not in her military uniform but simple civilian clothing, she wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not - but she didn't want to attract too much attention just in case this place disliked the military.

"Excuse me," she started. But at the slight caught up, she thought she heard the name Fang. And instead of inquiring about her brother, she ended up inquiring about the person she hasn't seen for a long time. "But you know Fang?"

[Cortlen1211]

The Alisa and the other assassin looked at Eltore, smiles on their faces.
"Si signora. Come, sit with us," Eltore implored, pulling a chair out for Resha. In a harsh whisper, to avoid the rest of the tavern hearing him, he said, "Alisa, you may talk about the brotherhood, but keep it quiet. This woman knows Fang."
Alisa stared, frustrated at Eltore, "I know, signore. I just heard her say it."
Eltore simply nodded at Alisa, then turned his attention to the new girl.
"So, what do you know of my oldest friend--Signore Fang Anderos? Any information on his death will help."

[neon kun]

Resha complied and sat on the chair that was pulled for her. She watched the two, talking about a brotherhood but she was confused.

"Actually... I don't really know much about his background or anything," she started, nervous. "But.. but," she became teary-eyed, but suppressed the tears. "I've just heard recently from a friend that... he di-died on a mission... to kill another assassin," she continued, quite unsure and the thought of Fang gone forever made her eyes stung with tears.

[LOL edited! CHAIR! :<]

[kotaro7914]

"Theres a hit on your head." Kotaro stared at Large Eye. "A hit? Like a bounty?" Large Eye nodded. "Someone in the military put a bounty on your head. For the charge of conversing with a fugitive." Large Eye looked at Kotaro. "Is there someone your hiding?" Kotaro wasnt listening. He had heard a familiar name. He had heard someone mention Fang. He turned to see a group of people entering a car, there was a familiar face. Resha? Kotaro stepped up. "I gotta go Large Eye, stay safe." Kotaro began to walk toward the car. If it travels, I follow.

[zergio]

[Resha meant to say chair]

[kotaro7914]

((Oh, I'll change it when I get the chance.))

[Cortlen1211]

Eltore nodded solemnly, and rested a hand on her shoulder. "Signora, please understand. He was a friend to myself and the...others..."
Alisa and the other assassin got up and stood behind Resha. "My friend here, Lucio, claims Fang offered to train you as an assassin. I will honor him, and hold his offer. Would you like to be a trained assassin?" Eltore looked Resha dead in the eye, then Alisa bent down and whispered in her ear, "Signora, if you accept Fang's offer, you will learn much of his background. Lucio, Eltore and I will all be training you. We are the best in the brotherhood. But at the same time, you will dishonor Fang if you decline. Please, think of your friends."

During this, only Lucio had noticed a man keeping tabs on the quartet.

[kotaro7914]

Kotaro approached the group. He had heard them mention Fang, and he wondered if they knew him. As he walked up to the table, he noticed he had been spotted. “Pardon me, but I heard you mention a friend of mine, Fang?” Kotaro had addressed the whole group, not knowing if they were friendly, or hostile.

[Cortlen1211]

Alisa and Lucio still stood beside Resha, now not to stop her from running, but to protect her should the need be. "Alisa, Lucio. Stand down."
Eltore got up from the table, his six foot height now clear as day. "Signore Fang was a brother to me. We have known each other for as long as he can remember. What do you know of him?"

[kotaro7914]

“I didnt know him much, but I knew him long enough to know he cared for those around him, loved fighting, and would do anything for money.” Kotaro's eyes dug into the tall mans. “Do you know anything about the people who killed him?”

[neon kun]

Resha blinked and blinked. Assassin? Wait, I didn't sign up for this! There was a look of dread in her eyes and her whole face, actually. She didn't want to. Her brother told her not to fight anymore and she can't actually fight anymore.

So to be an assassin? She didn't know what to do - there were two people by behind her, as if to convey - don't you dare say no! D:

A bit shaken up, she looked down. "I... I already told Fang this, but... I can't fight," she said. "

It was then she noticed someone spoke up, the name Fang ringing through her ears again. Looking up, she saw a familiar face. "E-eh? Kotaro?"

[Cortlen1211]

Eltore nodded, disappointed in her choice. "There could still be a way for you to join us, without being an assassin..."
He then remembered the other man standing by them. "Lucio, Alisa, please escort our guests," Eltore said calmly, walking towards a painting on the wall.
He looked to both sides. No one was looking. Pushing the painting over, he snuck into the passage, and from behind the painting he called, "Quickly, get in!"

[kotaro7914]

“Hello Resha.” Kotaro never took his gaze away from the man. As the man revealed a concealed door, Kotaro was on defense mode. He went in even more when he was told to get in. Kotaro was about to ask what was going on, but some military personel had shown up, and Kotaro heard them say his name. “I'll go. Come on Resha, I dont think they'll take no for an answer.”

[neon kun]

Resha blinked, unable to answer. She followed, the events happening too fast for to actually be able to utter a single world.

So she went in, just like Kotar even though she could probably have gone back with the military personnel.

[Cortlen1211]

The two assassins-Lucio and Alisa-followed behind. The picture slid back into place as they traveled through the tunnel. "Where we're going is to be spoken only amongst ourselves, and those who are already in the brotherhood," Eltore warned. Soon the tunnel sloped down, and a light was clear. "Let it slide."
Eltore lay down, sliding down the tunnel and into the underground city of the Brotherhood.

The grand hall was huge. Placed three kilometers underground, and ceiling reaching 500 meters up. Many rooms branched off, and balconies were everywhere. A large golden chandelier hung in the middle of the hallway, shining brightly in the room.

[kotaro7914]

Kotaro was amazedat the hall, but he never dropped his guard. His eyes were darting around the room, looing for possible threats and escapes. His automail arm gleemed brightly in the hall. He quickly covered it, hoping no one noticed.

[neon kun]

Resha didn't mask her amazement and took in fully the hall. It was pretty! xD

The trek towards there wasn't though, but she kept quiet all the while x3

[Cortlen1211]

"Please, follow me, signora," Eltore said to Resha, hand on her shoulder.
Alisa and Lucio stepped beside Kotaro. "Please, signore. Follow us. We will take you to the banquet hall."

Eltore led Resha to another room, this area was just as beautifully adorned as the great hall, but was many times smaller. "Signora, could I please get your name?"

[Toshii]

Tosh walked by the Tavern, but it caught her attention, her thrill for adventure kicking in. She stopped in front of the Tavern, looking at it closely. She walked in, looking around in awe.

[neon kun]

She blinked, unsure if she should follow. Nonetheless, she did and smiled. "My name is Resha, sir. And yours?" :3

Pretty room! :O

[kotaro7914]

Kotaro followed the 2 “Escorts”. He didn't trust them. “Can I get a clue to who you people are.” He spoke it as a demand. He didn't know these people, and he needed more info. “And where did he take Resha?”
