US Embassy Didymus looked to Aiden. "Perhaps it's best if you DID simply meet us at the cathedral tomorrow. Though...if you would like to simply wait at the library room we were at just now, that would be alright as well..." he said. He regarded the various others in the room. "He's trying to prove they aren't enemies because a soldier who served with dedicated brothers-and even sisters, in light of this, perhaps-would be MOST reluctant to label them traitors without serious evidence, and that's simply from a personal angle. To say nothing of the actual status and esteem the nation held them in and the loyalty they displayed." he said to Marco. "As it stands," he said to the room. "A LOT has happened tonight, but we can't lose focus on why we're here in the first place. We've got at least ONE lead on a Sakura Team member, and I believe that the ambassador is speaking with their former manager, or has been at any rate." He paused. "Now, just because we need to keep focused doesn't mean we have to ignore the rest of this; indeed, it would be foolhardy to do so. But everyone had best make sure to rest up tonight, and I'll try to draw up a game plan for tomorrow...though...again, when we wrap up here, Snake, I'll need to hear what exactly you were up to tonight that you came in as you did before I figure out how best to proceed. And because the ambassador and my superiors are going to want answers as soon as I can give them." |

Paris -Chloe's Bar- Aaron nodded to Chloe, grinning and tilting his bottle of pop towards her. “Nice place here,” Aaron said to her as she sat down by him. He wondered if either of his parents had been to a place like this before...Probably Kanna had. “How long have you been in Paris?” Aaron asked Chloe next. -US Embassy- Aiden paused, then nodded to Didymus, “Okay, I can wait there.” She turned to go back towards the library area for now. New York City -Streets- Blake smiled, then turned down the street, heading back for home... |

[Paris] [US Embassy] “There isn’t a need for it.” Snake said coldly. He narrowed his eyes at Marco, and did not like the implications of his words. Snake stood up and stepped forward, looking down at Marco with an extremely intense glare. “The Cobra Unit are heroes. To even imply anything less is an insult, and I won’t stand for it.” Snake stated. […] Oliver followed Adrianna and frowned. The flames were getting much closer to the Embassy grounds now, and several of the trees had collapsed from the flames. One of them fell onto the wrought iron gate around the Embassy, causing the flaming tree top to spill onto the Embassy grounds! “Gah!” Oliver shouted as he jumped to the side. “What exactly is the plan, Adrianna? We can’t put out a fire with our fists!” [Hotel] Musashi rushed to the hotel and bolted up the stairs, kicking open the door to his room. He ran over to the edge of the bed where his large duffle bag sat, and he ripped open the top and reached inside. He pulled out a long sword with a red handle, a golden hand guard and a scarlet sheathe. Musashi stood back up in time to see Laila arrive. “Come on! We can deal with the fire now!” He said to her, though he didn’t bother to explain how he intended to do that. He just rushed right past her and back towards the stairs. [Chloe’s Bar] Connor smiled at Sarai, and watched as she disappeared back into the crowd. He wanted to talk to the girl some more, but it seemed he wouldn’t get a chance… not that he had any idea what he’d say, anyway. Corwin, meanwhile, reached into his pocket and pulled out a small compass. He held it up, inspecting it, but the needle did not move. He seemed satisfied by this action and put the compass away. [New York City] [Sama’s Office] Kimi spun around towards Crystal, her hands on her hips and her eyebrow raised, and she quickly replied: “And just who the hell are you to lecture me? Bounty hunting is perfectly legitimate! Cops are a bunch of whiny bastards who just cry about warrants and due process, and detectives like Scruffy here are getting paid to work the same as me.” She shrugged. “Who cares about all that crap as long as the bad guys get thrown behind bars, right? I do a community service! I’m a freakin’ hero!” |

Embassy Marco nodded to Didymus's answer to his questioning of Snake. It was certainly a valid response, and it also likely meant there wasn't something else that Didymus or the others at the embassy might have known about that Cobra group that made them look 'bad'. Though what Marco was really looking for, though, was Snake's reaction. So when Snake started to intensely stare at Marco, Marco didn't back down an inch, staring right back at him. "...then you should try not to imply it with the words you say and the actions you make." Marco had a feeling that there was something more here. He couldn't figure out what, but there was just something about how Snake was acting, that kinda seemed to counter what he was trying to say. |

[US Embassy] Snake’s eyes narrowed. He really didn’t like this conversation. While Snake was normally perfectly in control of his temper and demeanor, things were different when it came to the Cobra Unit. The rumors, the speculation, the possibility… he didn’t like to think anything about it. He paused, taking a deep breath. Then, slowly, he spoke. “You don’t have to worry about the Cobras. That goes for all of you. Our mission here is the Sakura Investigation. It’s unrelated to the Cobra Unit. So let me worry about figuring out why they’re here, the rest of you should be focused on our actual mission.” |

US Embassy Didymus nodded. "He's right, by and large. With that said, if we've now scuffled with them and they're aware and intrigued that Snake's in the area, then we need to keep an eye out and be ready. Snake, I suggest we go over what to expect from them should...the worst be true." He paused. "With that said, we ought to stop this...supposition...about the reasons WHY they're here or why, exactly, Snake is reluctant to write them off as traitors when there are perfectly valid PLATONIC reasons for doing so." He paused. Personal issues getting in the way of the mission would be a problem, but...he doubted that was or would be the case here. "Besides, it's been a rough night, we should, perhaps, take it easy till the morn. Though there is one more thing I intend to learn before retiring for the evening..." he said. |

[US Embassy] Snake, I suggest we go over what to expect from them should...the worst be true." Snake paused. Didymus had a fair point from his perspective. They needed to be prepared for all scenarios. It was what soldiers did, after all. Prepare even for the unlikely. “… No.” Snake said bluntly. He turned around to Didymus. “Firstly, there’s nothing to indicate that the Cobras have any ties to the Sakura Investigation. Secondly, even if they do, I’m not convinced that they’re traitors. I’m not about to betray the secrets of my unit for anything short of absolute proof that they’re working for the other side. And thirdly…” Snake’s voice darkened considerably. “It wouldn’t matter what I tell you. If The Boss decides she wants us dead… then we’re dead.” |

US Embassy "Well, it's a good thing that we Marines are TRAINED for the impossible, then." Didymus quipped back, though there was a slight sarcasm in his voice. "The "secrets of your unit" just tried to kill two of our team members and are fascinated with the presence of the team. I'd LOVE to be able to just report this and forget about it, but frankly they may be coming for us. I KNOW they have no ties to our investigation, but frankly, it appears two of our members went and attracted their attention, so we may or may not be in this fight regardless of desire." "But if YOU won't reveal the secrets of your old unit, very well. I'll ask the higher-ups, maybe you won't have to-they'll either give them to me or say that they can't reveal those. Probably the latter, in which case I can't ask you anyway. So enough of this Cobra talk for now." He sighed. "But I CAN ask you why exactly you came in as you did. Which I will. Later, at least. For now, everyone...try to get some rest. It's been a rough night, and tomorrow may well be worse..." he said. Edited by The Vidit of Light, May 19 2013, 08:14 PM.

[US Embassy] Snake narrowed his eyes. It was clear from the expression on his face that he was tired of everyone questioning the Cobras. He did not understand how everyone could be so quick to believe the worst in his old unit. “… A Japanese woman and an Italian man, neither of whom have any credentials that would identify them as agents of the United States, approach The Boss in the middle of the night and claim to be working with me, with only their word as proof…” Snake crossed his arms. “Rather than give The Boss the benefit of the doubt… all of you are so quick to dismiss her. I suppose I should expect this from the civilians, but you disappoint me Didymus. I’d have expected a marine would extend a little trust to a soldier.” Snake’s voice lowered. There was an icy chill to it. “Go over my head if you want. You call DC and tell them that you’d rather put your faith in a civilian and a Japanese assassin than in an American war hero like The Boss.” Although Snake had at least a partial point, he was also entirely too close to The Boss to be impartial. |

US Embassy Didymus was quiet. "...fair points." he said. "And this is precisely why going over your head is such a good idea." he added. "The higher-ups are likely to have a greater idea of what's going on here than you or I, if indeed something is." He now wished to talk to Snake later in private, point out that he's dang right that they've more reason to trust an American war hero than an Italian citizen and a Japanese assasin, though the latter two had over the course of there time here done some things to gain trust as well... ...this was a complex situation, but... "...if nothing else, it can be out of our hands. And I'm not taking their word per se because I trust them more than an American war hero. I'm doing it because technically they're in MY outfit, and another thing you ought to expect out of Marines is that we take care of our people." He paused. "...but this will have us at each other's throats before long when a simple call to HQ can resolve it. So enough of this." he said. |

Paris US Embassy "I'm trying to smother it!" Adrianna said, grabbing a giant piece of rubble and tossing it on a large cluster of flames. She then whipped back around at him "Got any better ideas?!" Despite her determination Adrianna knew she could not keep this up. She could keep throwing rubble at the flames but she was already getting very hot doing this. Her long black hair was starting to stick to her wet forehead and her chest was heaving from the smoke. US Embassy Laila rushed after Musashi, only to be turned around as her boyfriend rushed back in the opposite direction. She quickly turned on her heel and rushed after him once more until they were back outside. She had no clue how Musashi's sword was going to help this situation. Luckily she trusted the boy. Chloe’s Bar “How long have you been in Paris?” "Just about four years now" Chloe explained "My family and I decided Paris would be a pretty interesting place to be. Sarai's my 'legal adviser' of sorts" Mostly Sarai was there to make sure Chloe wouldn't get kicked out of this country too/ Chloe noticed Connor watching Sarai disappear, the girl giving a wide grin and she threw her arm over the boy's shoulder and leaned in. "You know....She just went into the back...You can follow her" she told him. New York City Streets Samara followed Blake as the two made their way back towards the house...She could feel that the little boy was very nervous. Sama's Office "Hey! Those warrants and due process are part of the judicial process! If someone threw YOU in prison wouldn't you want that!?" Crystal countered, glaring at the girl. She had no clue how pointless it was getting in a fight with Kimi. And how dangerous. I do a community service! I’m a freakin’ hero!” "I'd hardly say that" Crystal muttered |

Paris -US Embassy- “We're all tired here,” Jenny spoke up now, “Tensions are high. We need to unwind and rest for tomorrow's mission, which we have reason to believe will be difficult. Unless there's anything else we need to go over, we should get what else we need done. Going around in circles about the Cobra Unit isn't going to help us tonight. We need more information, and we won't get any standing around here.” -Chloe's Bar- “Your legal adviser hands out drinks?” Aaron asked, raising an eyebrow, “That's...certainly interesting.” He raised his other eyebrow when Chloe suggested that Connor follow Sarai into the back. “And you try to hook her up with guys you've just met?” Aaron added, “Okay then.” This girl was certainly interesting, if nothing else. New York City -Streets- Blake turned down the streets, pausing as he saw his parents out and looking around for him. Galv saw him, then rushed forward, grabbing Blake and picking him up, hugging his tightly, before he finally noticed Samara... “Blake...” Galv said carefully. “She promised she wouldn't hurt anyone!” Blake said, “Please don't make her go away...She's my friend, dad...” Galv frowned. He wasn't sure what to say. Needless to say, he didn't trust Samara. |

[Paris] [US Embassy] “Army takes care of our people too. It’s why I’m not going to stand here and betray the secrets of my unit to you based on some unproven speculation.” Snake said sharply, his eyes narrowed. Snake turned and he headed for the door. He was brooding now, and in a terrible mood. He didn’t understand why the rest of them couldn’t see the simple truth that The Boss would never betray America. “… Do what you have to do… but before you start tarnishing The Boss’ good name, ask yourself if it’s really worth it to have me as your enemy.” He called over his shoulder, and then Snake disappeared through the door. [Embassy Grounds] “I admit I don’t have a better idea, but you’re going to get yourself killed if you keep this up!” Oliver frowned, rushing to Adrianna’s side and attempting to pull her back away from the flames. He felt the sting of smoke in his eyes, but he tried his best to keep moving despite it. “You can’t smother out all of these flames! There’s too many, and they’re too big.” Suddenly, Musashi came rushing back towards them carrying a sword. Oliver was quite sure the spiky haired Japanese prince was insane at this point. “STAND BACK!” Musashi yelled as he rushed forward. He stopped just in front of a burning tree, taking a deep breath. He closed his eyes and whispered something in his native tongue. Then, he jumped forward and loosed the sword from it’s sheathe… His katana was silvery in the glow of the flames, but as he pulled it there was a green shimmer across the blade. A mighty gust of wind kicked up, suddenly blowing the flames away from the Embassy! The wind was intense. It blew so hard that the flames were being directed back out towards the waterfront! [Chloe’s Bar] Connor froze as Chloe threw an arm around his shoulder. He tensed up even more when she suggested he follow Sarai. “W-W-W-What?” Connor stammered. “O-Oh, no, I-I wasn’t…” Connor was extremely shy when it came to girls. [New York City] [Sama’s Office] Kimi simply shrugged her shoulders. “No one can throw me in prison. I’d beat them up first. And even if they did, I’d just punch the wall until there was a big enough hole for me to escape.” Kimi explained, giving a terrifying glimpse into her psychology. Sama groaned, shaking his head. “Kimi, we’re a little busy here, okay? Look, I’ll pay you, but just… don’t bug me tonight.” Kimi shrugged. “Well since you asked nicely… no.” Edited by GoldenSama, May 20 2013, 06:05 PM.

Paris US Embassy Adrianna stumbled back as Oliver pulled her, the girl was overheated and getting tired so she didn't fight his move. Oliver was right, she couldn't keep this up- “STAND BACK!” Adrianna suddenly turned around to see Musashi and Laila rushing back, Musashi pulling out his sword and mumblind something. Suddenly there was a HUGE gust of wind that pushed away the flames. Adrianna couldn't help but to be impressed. "Woah...." "Woah indeed" Laila added, now aware of what a sword could do for a fire. Chloe’s Bar Sarai had her back to Connor as she stood in the back room, using the empty space to quickly change into a black corset top. Assuming that the girl had come to check on her "Chloe do you really think you should just tell those guys all about you-GAH!" Sarai turned around, eyes wide as she looked to Connor. [...] "Awww come on, the boy looks harmless, just like you" Chloe said with a grin to Aaron when he looked suspiciously at her. "I'm a pretty good judge of character you know." New York City Sama’s Office Crystal frowned when Kimi refused to leave. "Look here, we just about died like twenty minutes ago! We need to rest up before we track down a criminal organization who are possibly Nazis....Can't you come back later? Pllleeeeease?" Nope. Not gonna work. Crystal gave an embarrassed laugh "Come onnnn it might be the only alone time I get with Sama, if you know what I mean" Yeah....REALLY not gonna work. Streets "Blake!" Melanie exclaimed, rushing to her son as Galv scooped him up. She was quick to check him of injuries, making sure he was not in any pain. "My poor baby" she mumbled, kissing the top of his head before looking to Samara. “Please don't make her go away...She's my friend, dad...” "Baby...You can't..." Melanie started, unsure how she should tell Blake that he couldn't keep being friends with his own powers. Samara continued to stand back, trying to fight the urge to attack them when they picked up Blake. |

[Paris] [US Embassy] After a few moments, most of the flames in the wooded area were out, thanks to a combination of the Embassy staff, the local fire department, and Musashi’s sword. The young prince looked on, and then he calmly sheathed his sword again. He stood for a moment, staring out at the blackened wooded area. There were still some smoldering areas, but it looked to be mostly dealt with. “Whew…” Musashi let out a sigh of relief. And then he collapsed forward, landing face-first on the ground. “I forgot how badly doing that blows.” Musashi muttered, making what is perhaps the worst pun I’ve ever written. [Chloe’s Bar] “Ahhh! I’m sorry!” Connor’s face turned extremely red as he walked in on Sarai as she was changing. He turned around quickly, trying to get out of the room, but he was so flustered that he kicked his foot into the wall by accident and yelped, jumping back… and accidentally hitting his head on a nearby shelf. Connor fell backwards and hit the ground with a groan. [New York City] [Sama’s Office] We need to rest up before we track down a criminal organization who are possibly Nazis... "Come onnnn it might be the only alone time I get with Sama, if you know what I mean" Kimi blinked a few times, and suddenly she rubbed her chin. Then she snapped her fingers. “Ooooh, sounds fun! I want in on that!” She paused. “The part about killing Nazis, not the part where you two fool around.” Sama groaned, his cheeks rapidly turning pink. “Gaah! No, stop, that, why do you say stuff like that?” Kimi tilted her head. “What, you don’t want to fool around with her? I thought you liked her?” “I do! I mean, no, not I do to that, but I do to the other thing… I mean, not that I don’t want to… but that’s not even… just why are we even talking about… words!” Sama was getting very confused, and very flustered, and very red in the face. Kimi was having entirely too much fun. |
