Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alexis took a look at her watch while pulling another drag from her cigerette. This new team would be late if they didn't show up soon. And that would reflect rather poorly on the new trio. It was just her luck that she'd have to pick up a new team's first mission. She was the mission head, there was a reason she had staff members, it was for this very reason. Still, a job was a job and hopefully they'd be able to speed through this mission and she could take a day of personal time tomorrow to enjoy Paris.

Leaning against the tall brownstone of the darkened street, Alexis pulled another puff from her cig. Maybe it was time to employ Ashley on missions. Her sister was much more inclined to enjoy the new students and no one, not even Alexis, could fault her fighting skills. Maybe just the rank one missions... there wasn't really a way she could screw those up. And it'd be less rank one missions that she'd have to go on herself.

Dropping the used stubb of a cigerette to the ground she crushed it under the toe of her heeled shoes. Well, hopefully they'd get there soon, this waiting bit was entirely overrated. And even after the mission there were papers that needed filling out. Honestly the mission shouldn't be too hard it was just a murderer, and those were about a dime a dozen these days. Easy as they come.

Alexis glanced up as the trio came hurrying to her, the girl clearly leading the two boys, yet she was obviously the most nervous one there. "You're fine." Alexis replied in her flat dis-interested voice. "Let's see you're Deng with Moreau and Moreau correct." It was said more for the sake of faux introductions than an actual question. Though it seemed her habit of calling students only by their last name would be disrupted by having twins running the mission. "I hope you read the mission summary, I hate having to explain things you should already know." Though for using a word as strong as hate she still kept the same calm inflection to her voice.

Stepping away from the building she'd been using as a leaning post, her heels clicked as she continued to walk down the darkened street. The echoes cracking the silence of night like a whip. "You're target should be just around the next bend, you won't have much time to prepare so if you need it, take a breath now." Stopping, she turned to stare each of them in the face. "Have you taken a soul before? Don't bother lying, I'll know." She knew of course that some of the students did illegal runs, Jerard's son being a prime example, but she needed to know if this girl had the potential to freeze up.

They were a fairly recent team up, so by all accounts they probably hadn't, but maybe there was a chance that they already had. And if they had, well that matter could be seen to after the mission.

Uh, this girl's stuttering was barely tolerable. Alexis casually lit another cigarette as she eyed the girl and her fans. "Have confidence in your skill and your weapons." It was as close to encouragement that she'd ever get from the cold woman. Breathing deeply, Alexis signaled the team to take the corner first, and sent a silent prayer up that she wouldn't have to step in and intervene. This was do or die, the first mission always was.

Around the corner awaited a horrifying sight. A woman slightly hunched at the waist cackled as she set her hatchet hacking through blood, muscle, and bone. The long dead victim of her crime was splayed out across the alley, and currently his right forearm was being hacked and torn off by the mad woman. The only piece seeming to be missing was his heart. With a sick and sucking sound she finished tearing off his arm and threw at against the wall where it left a bloody smear as it fell to the ground. "Hah, heh, heh, hee, haa." The woman, her skin and gown covered in blood and gore, gripped her hatchet and wiped a soiled hand across her forehead. "Off with his head." Raising her arm up high, the blade of the axe gleaming in the moonlight she brought it down with a sickening thud as it fought to cleave through his neck. Getting caught at the spine, she pulled out and readied another swing.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" The bloodied Queen of Hearts screamed as she felt Kang's fan lash across her. "What are you doing here little girl?" Her voice was sweet but squelchy like she was talking through water almost, you couldn't know it, but it was because of the blood lining her throat. The woman's head moved like a dolls, each motion a slight tick but at rapid speed. It had an overall eerie effect. Releasing the hair of her victim, his head fell with a grotesque plop, still marginally attached to his body. "You shouldn't be here." Her eyes stared into Kang's but were empty of most feeling, like a dolls. Raising her hatchet to her lips she licked the blade. (That's where the blood in her throat came from.)

Now that Deng had the target's attention, Alexis slid out from behind the corner to watch. Ugh, this one was particularly messy scene, quietly she wondered what on earth would possess this team to choose a dismemberment murderer. Maybe they were braver than she gave them credit for, it certainly seemed like the girl had run head long into it. Now as long as she could keep herself from vomiting at the stench of the scene the team just might have a chance.

Back in the action, the Queen of Hearts grinned psychotically at the girl, her teeth stained and dripping blood. "Chop, chop, chop." She chanted and raised her ax up high. Swinging it at the girl she began her crazed laughter once more.

Please roll a 10 sided die. 2-10 will result in a successful kill, 1 will result in failure.

The Queen of Hearts screamed as Kang dodged her attack and turned to follow it up, but the technician was too quick for her. She saw the fan moving but didn't expect the sudden wind that began to cut into her skin and muscle. It was like little knives riding through her.

There was a pause, and then ribbons and plumes of blood flew out of the woman as she let out a horrible death shrike. The woman's ax went flying high into the air, and with an indelicate thud landed straight into her dead victim's head, lodging itself in the skull. Her body torn and being pulled apart by the winds, after the red blood cloud cleared there was nothing left but the blood spatter all over the alley and poor Kang and a shining red soul floating in the air. It's glow giving the area a garish shadow.

Stepping forward, her heels clicking in the pools of blood, Alexis surveyed the mess. It was fortunate that it was not their job to clean up these kinds of messes. She'd have quit otherwise. "Mission complete Deng." She said, it was all the congratulations she'd show. "Now decided which one of you will take the soul, and be quick about it. It wouldn't do to have someone walk in on us now." Pulling a quick puff from her cigarette, she tapped her ashes into a congealing pool of blood, and wondered if Kang knew just how covered in blood she was.

Mission Complete. Rolling for SP.
