Dealing The Debt

[seraph]

[ Open to Ryu Only ]

There hadn't been much information to go on. To put it quite simply there were only rumors of a white dressed person stealing something that didn't appear to have sort of purpose. Cards. This was the first thing that had caught his attention to the matter. Trying to pry Saix for information on this masked caper led to no avail as the lunar warrior simply dismissed it as mere rumors. No chance to even investigate was ever presented itself. However a chance meeting and a somewhat informative conversation with #2 gave Luxord the resolve to try another tactic to this little game.

Then a few days after a simple game of poker would be the spark that ignited this investigation of his. Axel had lost. Quite badly in fact and the wager was the pyromancer would have to accompany him on the aforementioned investigation. He hadn't spent alot of time with the flaming haired assassin since his return, if thats what you would call it. Not that the Gambler cared who shared his company, as long as they were willing to play the game then he could care less.

The location. A small garden. In its center was a well presented table decorated with a pink cloth with a multitude of cutlery and china plates. Chairs of multiple shapes, sizes and colours lined up next to one another as if awaiting someone to perch on them. Surrounding this area were hedges. Thick and lush with a very captivating dark green colour to them. To the left was what appeared to be a house, flattened in this box shaped garden against the wall. Only the balcony and the door knob entering the house protruded from the wall apparently showing a method of how to access another room.

Now for the entrance. A small black opaque puddle of water formed not two meters away from the table. Before long it grew and swelled upwards into the sky. Within a few moments there stood an oval shaped mass, ebbing with dark purple mist and spines of black light wrapping themselves around it. If anyone happened to be present, they would feel a sense of longing and attraction. One would wish to touch it. Upon doing so they would find it would take them to a world of darkness. A connection. A corridor between worlds. Accessible by those who reside in darkness. That is, if Nobodies truly reside anywhere.

Out of this corridor stepped a cloaked figure. Dressed in black, those silver zippers and adjusters swung around aimlessly as he swanned out of the portal. His face was hidden by darkness. Raising a gloved hand to his hood, he pulled it away from his face. Revealing white blonde hair and a well groomed mustache, he fingered his many piercings on his left ear as he listened the slight humming of the portal as it resonated behind him. Taking note of his surroundings, he was more than pleased to note that no one was here. A recon mission required a touch of style and subtly along with some cunning. First thing was first. To locate a valuable source for this thief. More importantly who this thief was targeting. Turning to the portal awaiting his partner in crime he spread a coy smile on his face. "Ready to play?" he asked in a sinister manner.
