Welcome to Gaia! ::

Finally finding the doorway to the cellar, Jasper opened the creaking door and climbed down the steps. The smell of wine filled him, as he had hoped there would be more besides just those drinks. Stepping further, and reaching the solid ground, the soldier looked around for a soul.

"Well... I don't see anybody... Guess I should make myself comfortable, at least."

He smiled to himself, as he went through and looked at the different wine available to his grasp. Jasper didn't seem to find anything amazingly interesting, but he continued to look, on the off chance there would be.

Jasper didn't react to her question, at least, not at first. He continued his search through the bottles, one by one. Finally, he laid eyes upon a vineyard he was familiar with. The Soldier grabbed a bottle of "Three Choirs Vineyards", made in his homelands. Smiling, he looked the label over for a little while, checking the date. It wasn't exactly ancient, but it would do.

"I suppose you're the Police Force Director I'm intended to meet?"

He asked, not answering her question in return. He looked towards her and smiled softly, offering her some.

"Would you like a glass?"

Jasper shrugged to her declining of a glass. He continued on his mission to get a drink, however. Reaching behind him, he casually unsheathed his blade. Taking the knife, he calmly pushed it into the cork of the bottle. Twisting, and with a pull, the smell of wine engulfed him. Smiling deeply, he took back a swig of the bottle. It was a bit strong at first, but his body took it in happily. Sighing joyfully, as he lowered the bottle, he re-sheathed his blade, and looked back to the woman in front of him.

"Yes... She told me to come..."

He stopped and thought for a second, snapping his finger as if to remember her name. Then, Jasper realized, she never gave it to him. This put him in an odd situation. Laughing, he took another swig from the wine, and then continued.

"She said she was the owner of this Castle. She spoke of needing to hire some defense for the house, and being her private bodyguard... You know... Red eyes, Vampire, long hair... You know who I mean."

Jasper laughed, obviously digging himself into a bad hole.

'That was quick' Jasper thought to himself as she introduced herself. Smiling, her met her hand with his, shaking calmly.

"The name's Jasper, but most just call me Cypher."

It seemed he had met another woman. It seemed he was only meeting women in here. Wasn't a bad thing. He just hoped being in active camouflage wouldn't be a problem for them down the road. Disregarding the idea, he took another drink.

"So what is it you do here, exactly?"

Watching her as she found a seat, Jasper simply leaned against the brick wall beside him. His back meeting the cold stone, he found himself rather comfortable in his lean. Taking another drink, he realized he was going to through with the bottle soon enough if he kept at it at this pace. Even as he thought it, he continued to drink regardless.

"Handle the bodyguards... Pray tell, what do you have planned for me?"

Jasper laughed taking another drink. It felt great upon his lips, and down his throat, it had been far too long since his last drink.

Again, more information of past business. It wasn't exactly what he liked to hear. While he understood it, from each angle, Jasper just didn't quite care for it. Where his money came from was no issue to him. How he got it was not either. Just tell him to protect A, kill B and defend C and it'll get done. But that was just what he wanted. He smiled, and nodded, acting the part of the perfect soldier.

"Alright, then... What will you have me do first?"

Jasper asked, watching the woman drink a dark liquid. It didn't seem to be blood, as it was far to dark and black for that. He almost wished he had his goggles on to check, but felt it would be a waste of time. And a bit awkward to drink that way too.

'A Potion? For what? And why?' Questions rambled around his head, but he didn't make it a point to ask. He rather not become too attached to work... Less, things go awry, like so many times before. Taking another drink, he let the bottle lower, and hang by his side as Jasper looked off into space.

"What would you like to know?"
