| Ken knew now he was going to be in heavy danger. He was somewhat responsible for 3 lives, and seperated from his teammate. Not only that, but Locke would be there in seconds. He jumped down from the roof, landing with skill and style. He patted Alexis' shoulder and looked into her eyes.
"I've known you the longest out of everyone here, even though that's a few seconds. I want you to lead these people to the bar known as The Gilded Mirror. Ask for Vincent. Wait for me there. You'll be safe for as long as nessecary. It's in Sector 4. I'll hold off Locke and the rest of the cleaners. Now go!" As he turned and watched them all run down the labyrinth of alleyways, he noticed the heavy, familiar footsteps of an old friend. Locke turned the corner and whipped out a machine gun from his jacket, though it appeared to the eye he had no place for it there before. He screamed, "Die, you fucking traitor!" and released a volley of heavy caliber machine gun blasts. Ken slowly extended his hand and from it an electrical field flew from it, stopping the hail of bullets. Locke cursed, dropping the machine gun once out of ammo and drawing from the same location on his jacket two revolvers. He twirled them in his hands as Ken began crackling with electricity. "I am not a traitor, because I am not the man I was when I was allied with you." The two glared and charged at each other, and from the rapidly moving perspective of the new allies, explosions and gunfire was all that could be heard. |

| An android leaped at Rei and he nimbly slid underneath it, and burst out of the cloud of smoke. He looked around, but the pair was gone. Well, he had tried. He decided to go back to where he was holding a temporary job.
As he turned towards The Gilded Mirror, he shrugged, and his stone encasement turned to dust. |

| Alexis nodded at Ken's request. She knew this place. hell, she was friends with the owner. She'd go in there from time to time to get the word on who's doing what, where and when in the city.
"Alright, people. I don't know who you are, and honestly, I don't care. But we're all in the boat. So follow me! I know where the fastest route is." She took off running, leading the people behind her. Weaving through alleys and hopping over trash cans, fences and boxes, Alexis was soon stopped by a guard from the facility. "Dont you move!" Alexis smirked, then pulled out her knife. Her instinct drive kicked in, and with blinding speed, she dashed around him several times, cutting him with each swift movement. In a crimson flash of spilt blood, the guard collapsed, and she stood over him, then looked over her shoulder back to her troupe. "I'm no murderer, but given the circumstances... Let's just keep going." She kept her previous pace, but felt bad inside. She was a self-admitted asshole, but she's just not the type to kill anyone, and whenever she had to, it stuck out in her mind like a sore thumb. Eventually, she burst out onto te street with everyone following behind. irectly in front of her was the building she was supposed to go to. Ripping the door open and hustling everyone inside, she then slammed the door, and turned to one of the employees. "I'm here to talk to Vincent. Where is he?" (OOC: I assume this place is a bar, or something lke that?) |

| The man known as Vaudevillian had made way for The Guilded Mirror Tavern. A home for treacherous scum like himself. His eyes wandered the bar, and nodded to the bartender, an old friend. He still carried a worried Brady in his arms.
"Madame, you did not do anything wrong, but, in the ever-biased eye of Red-Eye, you are a criminal in cahoots with a few terrorists. But I say, they are the terrorists. For the definition of such word is "A group or organization which instills fear in others." That, my good lady, is Red-Eye in a nutshell." Vaudevillian carried the girl up a set of stairs off in the corner of the bar, to the third story of the building, one which held a lavishly adorned room. He seated her in a chair near the entrance and knelt before her. Kissing the back of her hand. "Madame, yet again, I am sorry for you to have become involved in this, but remember, it was your choice, always your choice." The man tilted his head to the side as he heard a woman burst in demanding "Vincent." He smiled gently. "Vaudevillian is a codename I am known under, an alias of sorts. My real name is Vincent White, and it is a pleasure to meet you. I am being called for, I shall return shortly." Vincent stood and strode from the room, locking it behind him with a flick of the wrist. As he entered the bar area, he noticed several people from the area before. The bartender seemed to be blowing the woman off. The woman asking for him, the petty thief. "Ah, Miss Alexis, good to meet you. Come, you and your group may follow me, questions will be answered in my room. Brosh, I want no one other than Ken and whoever is with him to enter my room, to everyone else, I left weeks ago." Vincent tipped his hat and briskly walked upstairs, unlocking the door once more and entering, hopefully followed by the others. "Shut the door behind you." |

| Rei came up the stairs from the basement of The Guilded Mirror with a large barrel of lager resting on his shoulder. He placed it behind the bar and tapped it. He started heading back downstairs to get another barrel, when he noticed the familiar figure of Vaudillian.
When he had disappeared, Rei approached the bartender. "Who is that?" |

| (OOC: Is it just me, or did you overlook Elara, Cairoi? :p Might wanna fix that before you get to the bar.)
Red Eye...the...terrorists? she thought to herself as he carried her up the stairs. But they weren't the ones who sought to destroy a building surrounded by innocent people... her grim thoughts continued but were interrupted when they entered the room. Bria let out her breath, which she was not aware of holding in the first place, as Vaudevillian set her down. She knew it was her own fault that she was involved, and she nodded as he explained those few things to her. When he knelt before her, she had the sudden impulse to turn her head away, fearing that she would blush. His politeness threw her off a bit, but she didn't turn. Instead, she smiled. Afterall, he did technically save her from her own mistake. She opened her mouth to reply to the man who now introduced himself as Vincent, so introduce herself as well, but he had already left the room. She flinched as she heard the door lock behind him but within a moment or so, he had returned, obviously with others in tow. |

| *Avendia looked around cautiously. She still was not used to city buildings and had never been in such a small room as the room that this Vincent led them into. Being the last in line, she was the one to shut the door. Noticing the girl in the chair she blinked, looking around to see if there were any other people that she had not known about*
"So, now you will explain, yes?" |

| "I assume by "explain" you mean the explosion. That has many explanations. And of course many points of view. If you wish me to explain, understand that strictly my views will be spoken here, at least for now."
Vincent flicked his arms outward and a deck of cards appeared in each hand. With a flick of his thumbs the cards fanned outward in his hands. One deck's noticeable "Ace of Spades" Had a large red dot in the center of the Spade. "Both of these decks appear normal at first glance. In fact, even after much digging they both appear normal and similar. But, one deck is holding a massive contradiction to this situation." Vincent pressed tightly on the deck with the Red-dotted Ace of Spades, and a small noise was heard. He pulled the hand holding that deck over his head, and launched the cards at a chair in the corner, which, luckily, no one was sitting in. All fifty-two cards stuck into the chair, an apparent sign of his skill, but something else entirely. The cards which stuck into the chair were edged with razors that popped out when pressure was applied. "This deck, though great at masking it's identity is a Voracious and Vile persecutor of the common populace. A dread organization run by the blood of rioters. Terrible incidents, and claims to fame by certain political figures. Some, which are gaining enough popularity to begin destroying the electoral power of the senate, and removing all balance that this world has known. Those cards, represent Red-Eye, and Red-Eye represents all that is terror, corruption, and foul-play. Now, by explaining this, it is apparent why I, a former Red-Eye, and Ken, a former Red-Eye, have destroyed such an edifice to corruption." Vincent took a breath. "I am Vincent White, Vaudevillian, and magician extraordinaire, pleasure to make your acquaintance." The Bartender scoffed. "Surely you've seen Ol' Vincent around before!? He's the one who rent out the third floor plays well, and only stops by once a month or so. He's been coming here for years. Don't usually catch him coming in the front door y'know, the whole 'magic' thing." He began laughing, he obviously didn't believe that Vincent was a good magician. Just sneaky.

| Bria gasped as the cards lodged themselves into the chair. She saw other people enter the room, but when Vincent gave them that magic show, her attention was all his.
"A magician?" She finally spoke up. She rose out of her seat and made her way over to the chair with the cards. Bria then reached out to touch one, but stopped when her hand was centimeters away. "Dear sir...I do believe you were the one who decimated the building..." She turned at an angle so that she was still standing beside the chair, but could also see Vincent. Her blue eyes locked into his. "I don't understand it..." was all she said before dropping her gaze. I have to get home...they'll be worried sick... she thought. |

| "No, I haven't been here long enough to have run into him."
Rei placed the rag he had draped over his shoulder for bussing tables, on the counter. "But I did see him kidnap a girl." He prepared to storm up to Vincent's room. |

| The bartender grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Rei, I tell you this for your own good, Don't barge in there. I am one of the few alive who know of his strength. In fact, there once was a riot outside of this here bar, that's how he found this place. He found it...when he killed everyone out there. I witnessed this, but he does not know, Please, do not anger him, he is capable of terrible things." The bartender spoke out to Rei, hoping to talk sense into the boy, but there was probably little chance of that, and the bartender would do little to stop him in the end. Vincent smiled. "Alright madame, I shall try to explain it better." Vincent, with a flick of his hand, put the other deck away so quickly it was invisible to the naked eye. He drew a card from his coat. The card sat on his thumb for a moment, unsupported by anything. Suddenly, the card began spinning, and lifted into the air. It was spinning so fast it propelled itself upward. Yet, Vincent was not touching the card anymore, and had no physical way of controlling it. As the card was spinning, he placed his hands above and below it, palms facing the card. With a swift motion, his hands clapped together then separated. A dove flying in the card's place. Vincent caught the dove, as if it was a survivor from the devastation of his clap, and crushed it in his hands. When he handed what was left to Bria, he hoped she understood. What he handed her was a sweet white rose, symbolizing the Red-Eye corporation's bribes to the media to hold the truth back, to let the Red-Eye organization appear to be perfectly in the right for all they had done. "A symbol, for how Red-Eye does business. Watch a situation flourish like the card, think it's free. Crush the card, or resistance. Capture and crush all survivors. Present a rose to those who control the media, buying their freedom and tightening their grasp on the political figures." |

| Bria looked up at Vincent curiously, as she took the rose he had offered. She nodded as she held it's stem gingerly between her fingers, allowing the petals to rest on her chin.
"I get what you're trying to say...but...how can I believe that as truth?" She shook her head slowly. "Forgive me sir, I mean no disrespect...but...I am a little skeptical..." |

| Rei pushed the bartender's hand off his shoulder.
"I don't care what he's done, I saw him take a girl hostage, and I can't let him do that." He stormed up the stairs to the room Vincent was renting and grabbed the doorknob, to find that it was locked. He took a step back and looked around before smashing his shoulder through the door. |

| Bria gasped as she heard something crash into the door. Instinctively, she reached out for Vincent and yanked him behind her.
She said not a word, but simply glared at the boy who just burst into the room. However, her glare softened after a moment. Something about him seemed familiar... |

| Most of this was easy for Alexis to take in. She never particularly liked Red Eye, as they had been a thorn in her gang's side for far too long. After a while, she just sat back in a chair and lit up a cigarette.
"Old news to me. I kinda figured they were a little fucked up. Guess know we know for sure. So, what do we d-" She was cut off by the interruption of the door slamming open and some person trying to enter. She glared through hooded eyes and gritted teeth, and unsheathed her knife. "Alright, pal, who are you!? Are you with Red Eye?" |

| Alarath remembered this figure, who chased after Vincent when he grabbed Bria. This person seemed harmless, but he did barge into the room uninvited, and on thing that really irritated Alarath was rudeness.
"I'll give you to the count of three to turn around and go back downstairs." He said, "one." He felt energy risin up in him, he really had little power, but he could intimidate, or give this person minor burns. |

| "Wait!" Bria exclaimed. She shot Alexis and Alarath a nervous glance before adding "Please."
She took a few steps closer to Rei, but did not get too close. "You look familiar...I saw you, back in the town square..." She thought for a few moments. She had only caught a glimpse of him just before she and Vincent had taken off. |

| *Avendia listened to both explainations patiently. She could have done without the magic tricks, but they made a good visual presentation. When Rei smashed through the door however, she immediately went from her relaxed posture to a defensive position, her long belt knife in her hand. She did not attack immediately, instead waiting to get a good judgement of her opponent. At the girl's words though she laughed bitterly*
"He's a filthy half-breed! He stood in the square and tried to follow you when Vincent grabbed you; but he couldn't even evade one of those metal henchmen." *She looked at Rei condecendingly* "You disgrace your Ancestors. Now why have you barged in here like a stubborn boar?" |

| Rei was slightly shocked at the number of people in the room. What was going on here?
"Yes, you did see me in the square. And I saw this man crudely abduct you, so I'm here to... rescue you?" He wasn't exactly sure what he had intended to do when he barged in there. He had never really done any great deeds before in his life, nor bad ones. He had just been living under the radar, taking spare jobs where he could. He never knew he had a set of morals, leaning either way. He spun towards Avendia at her outburst. "I may be a half-breed, but I will not tolerate such talk of me. If you really wish to see a disgrace to the Ancestors, how about someone that was defeated by a half-breed?" As he made the threat he realized his folly. The room they were in was three stories above the ground from which he drew his power. Being raised by his Terran mother, he only had knowledge of Terran magic, and had no access to his dormant Animus abilites. |

| "And they say my people are hot heads...."
*Avendia tensed and prepared to strike, but at seeing Rei's expression change when he realized his mistake she instead stood upright again and sheathed her knife* "You would do well to not make a challenge you know you will fail in the future. Besides, a proper contest would need to be outdoors; and I do not believe we have that luxury right now. Your intentions were honorable, perhaps your blood in stronger than it appears. What is your name, Rain-cousin?" |
