Re: Tube Tinkering (Open I guess )

[Firefly]

She had driven the car there, feeling the vibration from the powerful engine thrumming through her body. Damn, that felt good. Not that way, you frackin' perv. Anyway, when they had stopped, she noted that Mael had some chick with him, and scowled. She remained silent, though, and slid into the shotgun seat. She didn't know this chick, and she didn't care to at the moment.

After a little while, she looked over to Mael, raising an eyebrow. "Who's the chick, Mael? And do you have a dossier on our mission yet?" She spoke coldly, almost as if she were jealous. Which, yeah, she was. She had planned on riding Mael at a gallop for some time now, just for sh-ts and giggles, but now there was some broad in the back seat. Mael seemed to have taken a liking to her, too. Dammit. Well, she could deal. She just sat there, looking at him, eyebrow raised, and waiting for a dossier. F-ckin' broad, horning in on my only decent shot at a roll in the hay.....

[Keegan Navaro]

<--The look she gave the male that had removed the gun from her side, would speak more words than she could at the moment. It wasn't every day you went from snuggling with someone to having them put you in harms way. " That will be the last time." Words void of emotion as she reigned in her temper. No, anger would not be her guide at the moment. She needed to keep a level head. Lips couldn't hide the smirk as his sarcasm dripped from each syllable of his words. " Wish I could say the same."

<--Slender brow lifted as Julian explained his alter ego so to speak. Okay, at least he had given her his real name so that was a pro, the con it seemed that if she wanted to leave she was going to have to take a dirt bath and brown wasn't her color. "And just what do I call you? Julian, Mael Feu, lover?" Yeah, she had noticed the seething woman in the front seat and quite frankly she was as useless to Keegan as tits on a sawhorse. There was a reason Keegan competed in a male dominated world..women were bitches, back stabbing, snide, untrustworthy bitches.

<--It's not to say Keegan was opposed to having female acquaintances but from the looks of this one she would definitely bring down her cool factor. This made getting into the car all the more fun and Keegan winked at Julian. " You know me, always ready." Soft laugh before she continued "Yes, safety first." Seat belt was fastened with an audible click and it was then that the woman seemed to not so subtly throw a bitch fit. Keegan loved chicks like this..the ones that thought they owned anyone male they looked at. Well newsflash...you don't own Julian.

<--Cyanide laced words were spoken with candied sweetness, she knew that would get under the chicks skin. "Excuse me..why not ask me yourself? I'm right here...the names Keegan. I'd offer my hand but you look like you're rather rip my head off at the moment." If miss thing up there thought she was going to intimidate Keegan, oh so sorry hon. It was going to take more than that.

<--To Keegan the woman as dismissed. Julian didn't say she had to be nice to anyone, and since chick thought herself queen bee, but hey she was the one all cuddled up with Julian and spending some wonderful quality time. Keegan had her own plans for Julian but she had enough class to keep them to herself. Who knows maybe Keegan would befriend the chick and give her some style tips, that hair did nothing for her. In truth Keegan that the chick was a man at first. "So Julian, Mael Fe what is on the docket for today?" Keegan adjusted herself in her seat glancing to the man beside her then back to Julian.She was enjoying this new life already.

[Pazuzu]

Speaking of women ready to have a temper tantrum . . . The cold jealously emitting from Firefly could have frozen an Eskimo in Pazuzu's opinion and just served to make him wonder, not for the first time, just how in the Sam hell she got accepted into the Syndicate. Or how Mael put up with her in the first place. 'Course he wasn't the one having her trying to get in his pants either.

Keegan was amusing. Her words towards Firefly's ice woman attitude had him smirking despite himself. If the rest of the ride followed this turn he'd ransom to keep her solely for entertainment purposes. Amusement worked for him, go figure and earned Keegan a name in the process. "You can call me Pazuzu."

[Mael Feu]

Now Mael, he wasn't going to say anything to either of the two females. If they wanted to engage in a cat fight and work things out of their system it was fine by him, but that was because their feuding did not jeopardize their current operation. He had to work with a team - comprised mostly of those he selected - and he didn't give a damn about what they dis behind closed doors as long as it didn't interfere with what they had to do in the open.

The car continued to drive fast and smoothly down the road under his direction. No hint given out on where they were going, they simply were. "Outside of the Syndicate, Keegan, you can call me whatever you want. Lover works just the same as Julian," he was flexible when it came to roles and appearances - there was a ruse he already had established at the Inn. speaking and glanced every now and again into the rear view mirror.

"The girl whose picture you saw, she has a brother and possibly a father, staying at the Inn," he knew that from the time he got word from one of his informants who was at the coffee shop. They had overheard a conversation between Xavier and Titania. "We assume that all of them are Lycans. I want her, the others are expendable. Firefly." To bad the man didn't stay long enough to get a name.

Stating her name while taking a glance at her. "Get the girls name and get her to leave the Inn with you. Quietly, Firefly, don't draw a crowd like you did last time." When she was checking in they went through three different people before the escapade was over.

"Pazuzu, keep the brother from interfering." How he did it was up to him. Of course, he would have to find the man first. "Tanned skin from the sun, light brown hair, around 18, looks like he might work out." Basic description from what he was told. Of course, Pazuzu could always wait and see if Firefly got the brothers name from girl who worked the desk if it was easier.

"He also appeared to be friends with the manager." From his own experiences of seeing Titania that was his assumption. Average workers didn't cater to patrons in that way she did.

"Keegan, you're with me. Hope you brought your mechanical mind."

[Keegan Navaro]

[[ So yeah I waited for Firefly to post but eh...patience is a virtue of which at the moment I have none. ]]

<--Oh what was this? The gun toting man in the back beside her blessed her with his name? She waited a moment for the back seat to burst into flames, but since he body was not turned to ashes her gaze traveled from Ms Thing in the front to him. Now the smile she gave him was genuine, hey guys didn't play the same catty games women did. " You can call Keegan." There was a wink and a light laugh before she continued. " Nice to meet you Pazuzu."

<-- At least he wasn't as cold as ice but then again he seemed to go unnoticed by the ice queen up there. As Mael started to talk she turned her attention from Pazuzu to listen intently. She had to wonder if him giving her permission to call him lover crawled up the butt of the other woman because Keegan just couldn't picture her being Mael's type anyway...she had better things to pay attention to than the woman.

<-- Lycans...interesting but not a peep from her. Although there was nothing lost to Keegan. Every word was tucked away in her memory should she need to pull it up again. Sometimes opportunities just happened and she wasn't about to miss one should it present itself. Soft hues would glance out the window a moment curious as to where they were going but as per the norm Keegan didn't ask questions. Sure she wanted to know more about the Syndicate but that could wait.

<--His voice pulled her gaze to the rear view mirror, warm smile given to Mael along with a nod of understanding. "Have you known me not to come with my mechanical mind?" Even when it seemed Keegan wasn't paying attention the wheels in her mind were always turning on what was being said, and now it would also make damn sure to never to let the smallest detail around her go unnoticed. Thanks in part to Pazuzu. Bare legs attempted to stretch out in front of her as slender arms came to fold over her stomach. Yeah, cramped....and that's why she preferred her bike...at least it was open air.

[Firefly]

((Sorry! I've been away..unexpected family stuff. I'll try to be on more often from now on!))

Firefly was glaring at the woman, thinking of the many fun ways she could shut her up, when Mael spoke. She nodded through the first part, having already been briefed on the current mission, but when Mael said those words....it was good that she had strong teeth. She was grinding them so hard she could've been used as a grist mill. The groupie had addressed her directly, but first....

"What the f**k?! Mael, we are a damn team! What the hell are you doing taking your who....escort...with you?!" Her head swiveled back to Keegan then. "Yeah, the thing about not askin' ya? I make it a point not to converse with women of negotiable affection. Just for the record, how much do ya charge per night? Or are you one o' the cheap ones that works by the hour?" She smiled, her expression dripping with acid.

"Oh, Mael. The brother shouldn't be a problem. He's a doof. I'm surprised he doesn't have his head up his ass half the time, matter of fact. He's that much like his dad." Yep, she had done her homework, gathered as much intel as could be gathered discreetly, and was well-informed. Just another reason why Mael's choice didn't make sense.

[Mael Feu]

Firefly could mouth off at others for he knew that they had the ability to stick up for themselves so no words from him would be needed accept for an extreme case. But she had decided to speak against him while in the presence of others.

"Let me remind you, Firefly, that your task is the girl. It has always been the girl and if you'd use you're time doing your damn job instead of fucking around then the inclusion of Pazuzu and Keegan may have not been needed." There was nothing that changed in his diving as it remained steady and the car quick along the straight lines and curves.

Current motion of the car was downhill and the region outside was becoming mountainous. "I would have continued not being a part of that Inn if you hadn't caused such a commotion at the time of your check-in," he added. Had she forgotten that incident? How a rotation of people had come out because she couldn't manage to get a room. He wasn't going to give her a new task.

“Let’s get something straight,” addressing them all with this, “You can always be re-assigned. We're almost there.”

That was all he had to say.

[Firefly]

"Fucking around? I've been doing my damn job! You ungrateful prick, I was covering all the bases, as well as your narrow ass! Or did you want to get blind-sided by someone that was, to you, not a threat? They're twins, both powerful, both freaks, and if you don't appreciate my work, then maybe I should leave you to your whore and ask for another assignment. One where I'd be teamed with someone that doesn't think with his dick!"

She gave the woman in the back seat...she was pretty sure the chick was used to being in back seats.....a withering gaze, then continued. "You know what? Good fucking luck with this ho. I'm sure a plan will form while she's servicing you. I'll do my job, but from here on out, I work alone. It isn't like I needed you to begin with, blondie."

[Pazuzu]

The target had a brother, possibly a Lycan and possibly staying in the same in as she. Interesting. Pazuzu took in the information in silence, giving only a curt nod of his head in response to his appointed mission of keeping the brother occupied. No problem. When you spent your life hunting the undead you learned to hunt their enemies as well. Having a basic description helped but Pazuzu preferred a more hands on method so it seemed the man would be checking into the inn after all. How even more so interesting.

Sadly for the woman the backseat did not freeze or burst into flames upon him gracing her with his name. It did, however, become more compliable with the giving of her name and if she was lucky perhaps she would have caught the way the smirk he was currently sporting twisted into something more real before it all disappeared again. He may come off as a trigger happy ice man but Pazuzu was not above working with a team or even being civil towards those in it.

Firefly had not regarded him and therefore she, and what intel she had given him, had went unnoticed. That did not mean he stopped paying attention. The hand that was holding the gun tightened and as the car started to slow right there in the middle of nowhere he sprung into action. The gun was lifted and aimed squarely at the back of Firefly's head; the sound of the hammer being drawn back the only warning sound given. "There is only one way out of this car and one way only. You work with the team or you die alone. Make your choice. You have five seconds before I decide for you."

[Keegan Navaro]

<-- Keegan had let the woman just vent and rant, seriously she wasn't a threat to Keegan by any means. The insults just reconfirmed that women were catty jealous bitches and Ms Thing was no different. If she wanted Keegan to get into a verbal altercation she would be waiting a long while. "Green isn't your color hon." Keegan knew the woman was jealous so her tirade was like water off a ducks back. You know the say about sticks and stones right?

<-- When Mael started talking it drew Keegan's full attention. Hey she just got here and being reassigned meant only one thing to her...a dirt bath. A smile was given to the back of his head but her silence was kept....well up until Ms Thing went on a tangent...again. This woman really had no class about her at all and the burr that was up her arse made her very unattractive, well no worse than the hair style she sported. Keegan was getting really bored and rather tired of the chit.

<-- A glance to Pazuzu brought her own smirk to ride on soft lips "She always this bitchy?" Keegan would bet her bike that she was but just as she was about to say something more to her backseat companion the woman felt a need to insult her more. Narrowed eyes of dark brown found the dyke in the front seat, that sneer pulled tight across her lips before her words would be spoken. "Listen...your first bout of insults I ignored because I understand your jealous, but I will not let you disrespect me again..understood?"

<-- Whether it was the fact the woman continued to insult her, or that she had now insulted Mael but something snapped in Keegan, left hand curled into a fist and with lightening like motion it was brought to connect with the dykes mouth making sure to bust those vulgar lips of hers. Pleased as punch Keegan calmly sat back and waited, but hell Pazuzu now had a gun to her the dykes head. "How about you get some class, and stop acting like you're the queen bee around here...because chica...you've met your match in me."

<-- She would shoot Mael an apologetic look before a wink was given to Pazuzu.."I'd almost pay to see what brain matter looked like on glass." Yeah, the dyke had signed her own death warrant, not only with the guys but with Keegan. The woman wouldn't always be under the protection of Mael and Keegan would make sure to be there when the dyke messed up. She would love to be the one pulling the trigger on this classless piece of dried up wanna be woman.

[Firefly]

She smirked, seeing the little bitch swing, and took it. It felt as if a child had swatted her. "That's your free one, you plastic-enhanced whore. Next one costs ya. As for you, blond bomber, you don't have the fucking stroke to kick me off of anything. I was assigned here by my boss, who is... SURPRISE....your boss as well! So, tell your boy to get that god-damn gun off of me before I force-feed it to him. Got it?"

Obviously, the people in the car didn't have enough common sense to know when someone was dangerous. Not that she was complaining, mind you. She liked it when people were foolish. Gave her target practice. "Queen bee? Bitch, please. You're barely a gnat. As for brain matter on a window, keep fucking pushing. That'll be the last thing you see."

"Oh, and Pazuzu? If that gun ain't holstered in the next few moments, you better hope it tastes good. I don't bluff, jackoff."
