It's Mostly Business...[Emi]

[Kashew]

On the island of Destiny Island, heh funny, a woman possiblily in her late twenties is standing on the shore looking out to sea. At a glance she seems fixed on something on the horizon. Occassionally she'll look at her left arm checking the watch, then stretch her limbs a little bit then just go back to her first action. On a guess, she would appear to be waiting for someone, the question is who?

[Emi]

Ahhhhh. After all that had happened, Emi was just happy to lay out on some lovely beach and work on her tan. Not that she needed much of one, she was already pretty dark naturally. So really all she did was slather on sunblock and pretend.

She was laying there, minding her own business, when all of a sudden somebody blocked her light. Emi didn't move, not wanting stir up trouble or lose this really comfortable spot. But whoever it was didn't move after several and it began to make Emi very angry.

She sat up and screamed at the person, who was a young woman glancing at her watch, "You aren't the only person on the beach! Move.[/color]'

[Kashew]

Sera slightly turned her head to see the face to the voice. Once she identified who it was, she completely turned around and just looked at this girl. Not even worth my time arguing with. And she was just about to walk away when a voice was heard from across the beach. Sera looked back around to see her servants. Eva, with a Elizabeth in one arm and a opened coconut in the other, was running at a fast run. You could just barely hear the exclamations of Elizabeth telling her younger sister to slow down, but in the end it didn't help for what happened next. On one of the "miniture dunes" Eva tripped sending the coconut flying forward, and leaving her and Elizabeth face down in the sand. The coconut in flight, tipped forward dumping it's contents on the, otherwise, agressive tanner.
Well it looks like this is over.

[Emi]

Emi was stunned. Literally. Dripping with something that kind of smelled like a piña colada, she just sat there for a moment, eyes wide. She slowly wiped her face off, and then stood up. It was generally a good idea to not aggravate Emi DesCoteaux. The tiniest irritation would cause her fly off the handle.

Fortunately for Sera and her companions, Emi left her kali sticks in her beach bag. She still had her fists though. She walked over to Sera, grabbing her by the shoulder. She hadn't seen who spilled the drink and so therefore took her anger out on the closest person. If her own grandmother had been standing there, Emi probably would have beat the crap out her.

Emi gestured to the mess on her brand-new bikini top and board shorts and asked in a quivering voice "Care to explain, or shall I just get on with the beating?[/color]

[Kashew]

Sera had a feeling that she would need to cover for her puppet's mistake. Sera went straight into her business.
Before you start any clobbering ask yourself this. Why bother getting upset over some spilt coconut milk, it makes you look like and act like idiotic 5 year old. This "swimsuit" you're wearing was going to get wet sooner or later anyways so again why make a big deal out of it. But if you want to act like 5 year old and take it out on someone take it out on Eva.
Almost on command Eva appeared with Elizabeth in arm. She grabbed the hand that was holding her Master and not looking handed Elizabeth to her Master. Not trying to do harm to the "attacker" Eva jerked the girl's hand off her Master then just walked behind a few feet and set her in her normal stance if she had her katars.
I will redeem myself for my mistake.

[Emi]

A blush crept onto Emi's face as she stood there for second, shaking, with her fists curled. No way was this chick gonna stand there and talk to her like that! When her little friend came over and took her hand off Sera, Emi just about lost it. She felt her chest get tight and her heart start racing.

"Oh, so you're just gonna let your friend take the flak for your stupidity? You're just gonna let them come take care of me, is that how it is?![/color]" she shouted. Emi was at least a half-foot taller than Sera. She could easily take her out.

She brought her fist back and threw a punch...

[Kashew]

Honestly Sera didn't see it coming, she took the blow to her face and landed face down in the sand. Elizabeth was shaken free from Sera's arm and went further out landing on her back and just said in a rather pissed off voice Oh that's just great, I think my joints have now officially f***ed up. Thanks Bi**h, thanks alot.

Eva, was just surprised by what had just happened. As part of her orders, she went straight for an attack at attacker's back.
Stand down!

Sera was slowly lifting her body up, spitting both sand and blood out of her mouth. At this point, it no longer was business it was personal.

[Emi]

A great sense of... relief came over Emi as soon as Sera hit the ground. One of the other girls, the one that has to be carried, was no on the ground cursing and complaining. The other girl was coming for Emi, and she put up her fists, ready to block it. But Sera told her to stand down and started to get up.

Emi grinned.

"Bring it, floozy.[/color]"

[Kashew]

((Well a misread in text color but oh what the heck, let just keep going here.))

Sera for the most part dusted the sand off of herself and just slipping her hand underneath her tie skirt pulled out her derringer and pointed it at her attacker.
I was making a deal with you... I was offering you the person behind your bi**ch accident. And you go and do one of the lowest things, you had to go steal from the dealer. I have a policy that if the deal goes south, someone's going with it. And like hell it's going to me.
Sera cocks the derringer.

Now I'll let it slide this time, we'll try this again. Eva stand ready!
But Master.
Now!

Eva, once again, stood ready however unlike last time she was more intent to dash to protect her Master if it happened again.

Now...*inhaling**exhaling*Take it or leave it.

[Emi]

((Oh snap... sorry! My brain went kersploosh at all the color changes. ^_^'' I'll be sure to read more carefully next time.))

Emi put up her hands and took a half-step backwards. The sight of the gun definitely cooled her temper off.

"Look, I'm sorry, okay? Take it easy, alright, put the gun away.[/color]"

What a jam she'd gotten herself into this time. And she wasn't exactly sure how to get out of it. She wasn't a formally trained martial artists... she only knew what she picked up off the streets and unfortunately none of those skills included disarming.

[Kashew]

((It's okay happens to the best of us.))

Sorry...It's funny, before you were all high and mighty but now that tables have turned you coward. In the business world you either sink or swim. My family did what any business would do, they swam. But they were destroy for just that.
But Master you destroy those that destroyed your family. Eva got out of her stance in a slightly relaxed stand, slowly making her way over to her Master.
Yeah you pretty much did, and I'll tell that was pretty awesome. In person killings are the best to watch. So is anyone going to freakin help me!?

Sera lowered gun just slightly, and pitched the brigde of her nose.
Why does this always happen to me.

[Emi]

Emi suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. Ugh. A dramatic type. She almost replied I'm not a coward, I'm intelligent for not goading the person pointing a gun at my face but decided not to for obvious and good reasons.

But now what to do? Sera had let her guard down just a bit, but one of her friends started talking about killings and how much fun they were to watch. Emi went a bit pale. Now she was asking for help, presumably help to kill Emi.

She chuckled nervously, slowly slowly lowering her hands.

"There's no need for murder here, people. I'll buy you another coconut thingy and we'll call it even....?[/color]"

[Kashew]

((Heh, I'm just going to guess that you didn't read the stuff on Elizabeth, both in the profile and her current situation. Still on with the show.))

Murder... ha. If I murder for no good reason that would just bring me down to the level of those that murdered my own family. And honestly I have a name to keep clean.
And to rebuild too.

Sera, much like in a comedy routine, pulled out the winding key out of nowhere, slamming it into Eva's head and started winding as Eva begged her not to overwind. After Sera's steam cooled, she walked over to where Elizabeth, and laying in the sand.

About time, I'm pretty sure I'm as stiff as board now.
And you'll start floating like one, if you keep this up. Anyways, in reality if anyone owes anything, I do. Well Eva does anyway.
My apologies. Said Eva as she bowed while rubbing the back of her head.
At this point, Sera lowered the weapon complete but didn't put it away, for good reasons. And just 'smiled' and looked at the, now, pale girl.
Well, now that we've all calmed down, why don't we sit and chat.
What but it was just getting good, at least injure her. A leg, an arm, anything come on.
Sera just dropped Elizabeth letting her fall face down into the sand.
((Great now, we may have a 'partnership' on our hands. LOL.))

[Emi]

((Actually I did. I'm having a bit of a hard time reading your posts but I'll really try and be more careful.))

Emi's pale face went red at her mistake. Oh. Elizabeth had only been asking for a hand up. Not help killing Emi. But now that things were cooled down, Emi's life wasn't in danger and Sera had tended to her comrades...Sera invited her to come and chat.

Eva had a few things to say. Emi grimaced at the doll and couldn't suppress a smile when Sera dropped her face first into the sand.

"Okay, we'll chat. What's up with your friends?[/color]" Emi said, gesturing towards the winding key and doll-like joints. She'll just have to forgive my ignorance. I haven't run into this on my travels quite yet.

It was always like this. She came across something she didn't know, she picked at it and questioned it until she knew enough about it and then she simply accepted it.

[Kashew]

((It maybe partically my fault too, not enough space between.))

Sera sat herself down as Eva, in some instintive way ran off to go grab something. Sera placed the gun down next to her leg she began to explain herself and her 'friends'.

Well I think it would be better to explain myself first. I am Sera Davis... Lady Sera Davis of the Davis Family. My family wasn't one of the richest families, but we've survived well on our business. Anyways I am the only child of the Head of the Family at the time, my father. So I had no siblings what so ever, and to cope with this lonelyness my mother gave me a doll to keep me company. A rather unique doll, in the matter that it can think and talk on it's own free-will.
As she said this, she grabbed Elizabeth's head and pulled it out of the sand as Elizabeth 'spat' sand out of her mouth.
Unfortunately Elizabeth here, can't move on her own free-will.

Well excuse me and my little quirk.
Sera placed Elizabeth next to her thigh as she continued.

For a time Elizabeth was my only companion, and with time I became very skilled in the arts of the puppetteer. But I as much as I enjoyed Elizabeth's company I need another friend.

Almost on que, Eva returned with a tray, on top of it coconut shells filled with assortments of drinks. Eva placed the tray in front of Sera and took her place on the other side of Sera, sitting herself in a seizen position.

As I became older I learned how to make puppets as well. So I went to work on the creation of a new puppet. Something more unique, more human if you will. Hence, Eva the younger sister to Elizabeth.

A pleasure. Bowing her head slightly.

Unlike her older sister, Eva has a covering that acts as her skin, and also as you can see she is human-size. Of course, her power source is that of any wound-up toy so every so often she needs a 'recharge'.

But I won't be needing one now.

Sera grabbed one of the coconuts took a sip and looked at her, now guest.

Please have a drink, and tell me. What about you?
