Apparently there was a noble in the city, one of several, that was trying to gain power over the city and its corrupt system. With the guild losing influence in the city it was up to Miguel and the help of another mage to kill the noble and wipe out his influence in the underworld. One of several nobles like that. This one's name was Beelzebub, and has been said to have ties with the cultists that are so famous these days. At the moment Miguel was outside the house, wearing nothing more then his usual bartender suit with his pet black cat nowhere to be seen. He had a brown vest, white hair, dull purple eyes (they gave off a blank stare), and earrings all around the upper portion of his left and right ears. He also had a fairly baggy long sleeved shirt underneath the vest, with a band strapped around his right and left arm. He waited for the person that he invited to help him. Days ago, after some thought, Miguel sent a letter to someone he knew. It took him awhile to learn that she was in Grimoire Heart, but he eventually got some sort of reputation from that area that matched his memory of her. Her description was almost flawless. The letter was white, with the words 'To Syeena' on them, and inside was the following message. "I require your assistance in dealing with a problem in Trillium, a noble that is trespassing his limits in the city. I remember that you had a very interesting ability, and that your particular set of skills will aid me in this endeavor against a possibly formidable enemy. I will reward you with whatever possessions you can carry from the mansion before we burn it to the ground. I hope this peaks your interest; I look forward to working with you." - Miguel Alphonse The note left a map that showed the entrance to the mansion (where Miguel was currently waiting for her) and had a note asking her to "Bring clothes that will make you unrecognizable, but show up in clothes that will make you look less hostile." He only said the two because if she showed up with a thieves backpack and clothes that screamed 'thief' it would be a problem in a nobles house. Their first mission was a scouting mission to look inside, and Miguel is representing the Raven Tail guild in 'welcoming' the noble to the city. Even if the noble was obviously around for longer then a month, in fact he could have been around since a year ago. Miguel explained that they weren't assassinating people during the day, they were making mental maps for later. There was no document with the blueprints to the mansion, every person involved in the construction is either dead or a worker. Nobody could draw or explain it either. Curious. The 'welcoming' the guild gave the noble was to help Miguel infiltrate their stronghold, obviously. It will also lead as an example for the other powers of the city that those that step over their boundaries will be found dead the next day.. unless they survive, then the guild will lose some influence. The mission can't be failed. Miguel will be killed. He sighed and took out a cigarette. The flames from the lighter gave a spark to the end and Miguel inhaled it, then exhaled. "I hope I chose the right person for this job, she's the only one I know that can even pull off a stealth mission." Miguel thought. Edited by THE Cat, Mar 4 2015, 05:23 PM.

Hex the cat said as she cat walked along a nearby wall, looking down at her friend Syeena. IT was broad daylight and the area in Trillium was not populated right now, so the cat could talk without raising too many alarms. The Exceed cat kept her voice down though and followed side by side with her partner below. Syeena Was dressed in an attire she called "The Fool". It was an outfit she wore that was perfect for her to blend in. In this disguise she played the role of the somewhat clutzy, innocent, and driven reporter for the Sorcerer Weekly Magazine. She wore a pair of thick glasses that could of been coke bottles, her hair still long and worn down. What made her outfit perfect was she was dressed in jeans, wearing a stripped long shirt and a vest. It was not a flattering attire, but it let Syeena go in almost anywhere without people thinking otherwise. She was a journalist. it was their job to snoop around. So no one would expect another reason why. "A request is a request. Besides any reason to stick it to the cult. This just seems like the best way to snoop around without actually looking suspicious," Syeena replied to Hex. She didn't turn to face the cat but kept the conversation going regardless. "I mean taking that request from that creep with the smoke magic and his pervy tom cat!" Hex argued, turning a nose at the thought of Neko. SYeena smirked up at the cat with her glasses hiding her glint in her eye. "Aw but I think you two look good together," she teased . "Don't make me sick," The cat replied with a hiss. Syeena chuckled a bit a they turned the corner, reaching the gate of the Estate where this Beelzebub duke lifed. Naming someone that, its no wonder he was a cultist, Syeena thought. It was then they saw Miguel standing before the gate. Syeena didn't say anything as she approached, in disguise and wondered if he would recognize her or not.

This was the woman that Miguel remembered, now he'll just have to make sure that she doesn't recognize him in any other way. He'll try not to use one of his magic techniques while he is with her, maybe two, but non of his offensive since it would be easier to link him and his vigilante form if Miguel showed her their shapes. Better to be cautious then found out. When she arrived she looked very different from the first day he met her. She didn't look as teasing to the eye, for example, but she was definitely goofy looking. This could work to their advantage. Miguel raised his hand to above shoulder level, but not by much, this was to show her that it was really him. Not that it was hard to recognize him. It was more then three years, thanks to technicalities, since he's last seen her but he hasn't changed much in those years physically. His posture though, and warming personality, have all but changed entirely since he's last seen her. "Our current mission is to walk in and absorb as much information as possible from the area. They think we're both in Raven Tail, so you need to relax and look like you belong. They won't disrespect us, or try anything that might lead to trouble, but they can still suspect us and foil our plans by sending us home early. We are to walk in, dine with them, and walk out. Is there any information that you will need that is relevant to this mission?" Miguel didn't greet her, or even suspect that she was someone different. Her glasses almost gave doubt to Miguel's intuition, but her black cat definitely gave him the confirmation he needed. Combine that with her long green hair and he was almost certain of it. There didn't seem to be any guards around the front gate, or even a camera, just a closed gate and a button a few feet from the two. Edited by THE Cat, Mar 4 2015, 10:38 PM.

He had told them that they were to act like members of Raven Tail as guests in this place. Syeena felt as if someone had smacked her with a cod fish-- and Hex would of eaten afterward. "W-wait a minute! I come here dressed to be incognito-- now you tell me that I should of come dressed as I usually would of had?" Syeena snapped at him. She definitely looked more ditzy and even silly behind those glasses and outfit. She was a bit upset. She had come in her not just another outfit but as her alter ego-- Carly Carmine, a reporter for Sorcerer Weekly. It was an actual identity that was crediable and workable. She had thought she could of pressed for information as a journalist, then in secret bring direction away from the true goal. But nope. "You could of told me that up front. After all, who better to get information than a journalist?" Hex brought a paw over her eyes. Syeena could be silly behind this persona of The Fool. "Oh brother... Are you Miguel? And is that pesky tomcat with you?" Hex said as she greeted Miguel before them. Syeena was still looking at Miguel, trying to recognize him. He was indeed different from before but it could of been his clothing. "Well you do look handsome, but how are we suppose to pass as Raven Tail magi? Wouldn't it be better if we act from both sides? " At this point Hex had an idea. "Or I can pose as the Raven Tail mage. An exceed who is a member of Raven Tail might work?" the cat suggested. Edited by Zaber, Mar 4 2015, 11:28 PM.

Miguel corrected her, then continued explaining after sighing some. "We can't look like we're here to fight. In that outfit you look absolutely harmless." When she spoke about her abilities to gather information being the main reason for being a journalist, Miguel couldn't help but let a small smile cross his face. He can almost trust her completely in this by this point, but he only hoped that she had gotten stronger over the months, in this timeline, that Miguel has been gone. Hex then asked a very peculiar question, she asked where Neko was located. Normally there wouldn't be anyone asking such a question, because nobody would neither care or want to know where the black and mischievous cat was located. For all they knew just by having Miguel tell them they'd be interfering with a federal case on pantie snatching. "He's.. around. Probably as excited to see you as you are of him." Miguel completely misread the situation, which was shown by his serious expression. That's when Syeena asked if they could be seen as Raven Tail mages, that's when Miguel nodded. "I'll talk to them, only a member of Raven Tail would know about the dinner. To be precise, only the one that is sent to the dinner as a representative would know about the dinner." That also indirectly shut down Hex's plan, everything seemed fine up to now. Except for one thing. They weren't inside the mansion yet. Miguel opened the gates by pressing on the gate in the middle. A red glow then made the gate disappear. He walked forward and waited for the woman, Syeena, to follow him. In front of the mansion was a line of butlers and maids, all of them looking directly at the trio walking towards the door. "Hello, we're representing the guild Raven Tail in the cooperation of the underworld alliance known as Hell's Raven, call me Miguel. As the representative of the guild in this meal, it does me great honor to dine with your leader and share some company information to better our results in this alliance." The butler, just as he saw Miguel was about to bow, stopped him by putting his hand on Miguel's shoulder. "N-nonono, Please don't bow. Come right inside, I'll take you to the meeting room." Miguel hesitated to follow for a second, the maids and butlers watched Miguel stand still as the butler walked forward. "Meeting room? Aren't we here for a dinner?" The butler fixed his glasses before speaking, "Yes, but Beelzebub asked for you to speak with him before the dinner." Miguel nodded then followed. He only hoped that this wasn't part of another scheme. Edited by THE Cat, Mar 4 2015, 11:50 PM.

Apparantly the black cat got on Hex's nerves so she was actually the annoying flea-trap was not around. "Good then. Well we can continue. I'll just lurk in the shadows then," the cat said, being sure to still trail Syeena but stay out of sight. The cat was clever when it came to being unseen. It seemed that Miguel would do the major talking of the situation, still it was unclear how Syeena was going to pass by the staff and the head of the house as she was. It seemed to her that Miguel's plan was not really thought through. She couldn't keep the same display as before. But if she played it cool, perhaps she too could slip by unnoticed after a while and join Hex in the shadows... Her own idea of exposing demon kissing cultists involved sneaking in, slpping by unseen, stealing evidence, then blowing their base up from the inside. However, since Miguel was leading this mission, she had to keep to his lead for now. She would act if she felt like it. Entering the estate as she was, they were welcomed by the staff of the house-- and was immediately told that they were going to meet the man who ran the house first before dinner. Syeena exchanged a look at Miguel behind his glasses. If he could see her eyes, he could tell she was not happy. If this goes to hell, all bets are off, she thought as she softly walked forward towards the meeting room where this Beelzebub would be waiting.

She didn't look as pleased as he remembered, probably because they were now being asked to go to a room with a possibly dangerous man. Miguel didn't show any emotions that would prove that he was worried, in fact his expression remained fairly neutral throughout the conversation. The only hint that Miguel gave to a disturbance was his decision to stand still instead of following the butler, which aroused some suspicion but not enough to send the group home. After all it is to be expected that a small change of plans would put anyone in their situation into a state of uneasiness. Miguel followed the butler through a long hallway decorated with pictures and random bases and rugs. There was the occasional door that was separated enough from the previous door to give Miguel an approximation of the room size, which was.. pretty big. They were either rooms or libraries. He couldn't find out because each of them had red signs on them with 'do not pass' embedded in the wood. There was no passing to the other side. The aroma of food filled the air the longer they walked down the hall, which was odd considering they weren't heading to the kitchen. Perhaps his office was close to the dining room. When they arrived to their destination, evident by the last door in the hall and the butler standing in front of it, the door opened on its own; it was inviting Miguel and Syeena to walk inside. Miguel walked first, not worried about Syeena's reaction. "Hello, and welcome to my mansion. Who might you two be?" He gestured to both Miguel and Syeena. He seemed lazy, just by the position he was in while sitting. "I am Beelzebub, and I'd like to know why there are two of you instead of one. Regardless of how.. ordinary she seems to be." Miguel answered the apparent leader of the mansion. "She's here to make sure I come back to Raven Tail unharmed. We'll have better chances of warning Raven Tail, in the off chance something goes wrong, if there's two of us." Beelzebub sighed, and looked at the girl. "What is your name? And are you capable of fighting? What is your power?" It was hard not to answer for Syeena, Miguel was worried she'd say more then she needed too. But he had to let her answer, or the situation would look suspicious.

Syeena had lost track of Hex, but she knew the cat was stalking around somewhere. Cats had a natural sense of hiding when they wanted to go unnoticed. A house as big as this, it probably was a funhouse for her. Still, Syeena kept an eye on her surroundings, noticing the 'do not enter' rooms and soon led to a larger room. Upon entering and hearing the man's voice, Syeena was surprised. She finally got a look at the stranger, sitting leisurely. The man was not anything that Syeena was expecting. At first she thought someone named Beelzebub would be a fat man with bugs flying around him for being much like the name suggested, a mess and pestilence. But this man was actually thin and neat. She gave a clear sound of surprise. "Oh, your not what I expected at all," the woman said, her expression more so hidden behind her glasses. But unfortunately, Beelzebub took a curious interest into her. She knew going in like this was a mistake, but she was in too deep now to turn back. He asked what type of power she had. Time for ditzy girl act two, she thought. "I --uh-- well, I'm a fortune teller. My magic revolves around predictions and the future," she said vaugly. She was not about to give an actual example of her powers. Not unless she was forced to. "They call me "The Temperance"." she introduced herself, using her clan title.

He looked back at Miguel, "Raven Tail wrote that they'd send one person. Forgive me if I'm suspicious over the female that I do not recognize from the guild, she must be a D class mage. Is that correct?" Miguel inspected the situation. A normal person would jump at the opportunity of their opponent giving them an answer that the one you are lying too would accept, but someone like Miguel knows not to agree mindlessly without first thinking about the problem. The problem now was that Beelzebub didn't know who the mage was that Miguel brought over, and she claims to be from Raven Tail and with the ability to see the future. The problem with his statement that she was a D class mage was that it made no sense for Miguel's earlier reason for bringing another mage here. A D class mage would get killed instantly, and serve no purpose in this mission other being a meatshield. It would make more sense to bring someone who could fight well, and leave the area. With her ability to see the future though, that tips the scales. Even at D class she'd be able to give Miguel a warning if anything came their way. Miguel decided to strengthen his answer and any possibility of it back-firing by giving Beelzebub an answer he can't prove wrong without doing homework. "Temperance is a recently turned C class mage from Raven Tail. She's been in the guild about a month, so she hasn't had a chance to make a name for herself; this explains why you haven't heard of her. The guild trusted to bring her with me to this meeting since her skills, and magic, would help me if it is needed." Miguel looked directly at the eyes of Beelzebub, normally the glare of Beelzebub would break through the gaze of those that are lying to him, but Miguel's was steady and straight. The cultist then knew that fighting Miguel in a debate, at this point, would prove futile since he had no base to attack him from. He couldn't tell from Miguel's expression that he was lying, her abilities fit his reason for bringing her, and the reason Beelzebub didn't know about her was because she only recently STARTED to make a name for herself. C class mages are the starting point of earning a name. Beelzebub still had his suspicions, but he didn't say anything. "Very well then. Let's continue to the task at hand then. Dinner should be ready for us, I've prepared a turkey with some of the best seasonings your tongues have ever tasted. It will be a good place to start our conversation regarding the.. earlier mentioned proposals set by the guild in exchange for combining forces for my protection and your increase in power within the city." Miguel nodded and followed the man down the hall. While Miguel did that, a black haired cat was already inside the mansion, only he was in another completely different room.. their fish department. He was eating one of the giant tuna fish they had in the freezer, Neko (the name of this black cat) was already down to the bone. His keen nose could not help itself.

She was probably the least likely person right now to be viewed as a dark mage. She was in fact looking innocent and inexperienced. Beelzebub probably would of thought less of her and did, considering her a D class mage. In the back of her mind, she wanted to scold the man, prideful of her own skills and powers. But that of course would only break her cover. She decided to let Miguel do the talking for a while as they soon began to walk for the dining hall, where they could talk about their partnership. Syeena kept an eye out for things they passed by. She did see a lot of objects worth value. This guy really did love his expensive bobbles. The moment she didn't have eyes on her, she would have a field day on this man-- especially if he WAS a cultist. While Syeena was escorted to the dining room, Hex was finding her own way around. Luckily she had found a vent. The cat hated the vents but she was small enough and flexible enough to fit through them as they led up to the ceilings. The cat softly walked around, spotting Syeena and Miguel a bit as she crawled in the ducts. It was then that she heard a sound from the nearby kitchen. Perhaps it was the cook or a hungry employee, but the cat soon got curious and moved in that direction. Peeking through the vents, she spotted someone... and soon could only give a glum look. "Him again? hex thought as she recognized the black cat eating the tuna. (Sorry for sloppy but super late)
