Marco was already in the meeting room, as most of the others made their way there. He figured that he shouldn't be one of the later persons to arrive, considering how he felt like he was in the middle of controversy the last night, with his concerns related to how Snake was acting, as well as taking the blame for having gone to the area where it ended up those Cobra people were.

So it was probably a good idea not to start off any meeting thing they all might have, by being the last person to arrive.

Nanami and Musashi arrived at the meeting room, entering through the door. Nanami looked to be in a sour mood already, which would only be a surprise to people who didn't know her. Musashi, however, was smiling as he walked over and sat down.

Usually, Musashi would just plop down in a chair, kick his feet up and lean back with a grin. Right now, he was sitting straight up with his hands folded on the table in front of him. It was not often that he showed it, but Musashi did have experience with these types of situations and he was on his best behavior.

“Heya Marco,” Musashi called as he noticed someone else was already here. “Any sign of the others?”

Nanami sat down without a word. She looked to be brooding.

Marco was slightly surprised to see Musashi act professionally, even though he knew that Musashi was a prince back in Japan, and probably had to do that sort of stuff quite often. Marco just hadn't really seen it before from him.

He wasn't surprised to see Nanami not seeming all that happy, though. She was Nanami. She also didn't sound that pleased with him last night, after the impromptu meeting in the infirmary with everyone, simply demanding him to leave so she could sleep.

"Hey, Musashi," Marco then acknowledged the prince.

"And nope, just Didymus and Jenny. I'd think you'd be more likely to know where the girls are, though," he smiled, with a little laugh.

But then Marco got up from where he was seated, and made his way over to where Nanami had sat down, and pulled up a seat next to her. He leaned forward, while turning his head back towards Nanami, to try and look at her directly in her eyes.

"Sooo, what's bugging you, this morning?" he then asked of Nanami.

Musashi frowned, but he stayed in his seat and stayed in composure. “Well, I think I'll wait for everyone to get here before I say anything.”

Nanami, meanwhile, looked over to Marco as he purposely moved to the chair closest to her. She could tell he wanted her attention, so reluctantly she met his gaze and locked eyes with him.

"Sooo, what's bugging you, this morning?" 

“Nothing that concerns you.” Nanami replied instantly. “So let's just focus on business.”

Marco's slight smile completely disappeared, with Nanami's answer, and then he sighed.

"Is it Musashi?" he then asked

It's always Musashi.

"He's planning to do something dangerous that could possibly get himself killed easily, isn't he?" he then added, making sure he was loud enough so Musashi could hear and object to this line of questioning, if he wanted to.

"...but whatever it is, if it is something that bothers a friend-"

FOOL! Nanami has no need for this word called 'friendship'!

"-it's a concern for me! Though if you really really don't want to get into it, then I'll shut up."

Is it Musashi?"

Nanami raised an eyebrow. She supposed Marco was getting to know her fairly well to know to automatically assume that it was Musashi that was irritating her. She simply shrugged her shoulders, looking over to Nanami.

“It's not entirely Musashi. I can handle his bad decisions.” She said simply, crossing her arms and looking over at Marco. “It's bigger than just him. We can talk about it later.”

After Nanami's answer, Marco continued to stare at her face for a few moments, thinking (as well as trying to get a read on her expression), before he nodded and sat back in his chair.

"Okay, then."

He then looked around the room, in case he missed any recent arrivals to the meeting room. He didn't want to start a conversation when everyone else was there to start the meeting.

"So Musashi," Marco then directed his attention to the prince, "Any sneak previews for what you want to bring up in the meeting?"

Nanami just sat back in her chair, saying nothing. She had her arms crossed, and her eyes closed as she waited for the meeting to begin. She had no idea what would come from this meeting, but it would matter little to her mission.

Musashi, meanwhile, looked over to Marco and simply shrugged his shoulders. “I'd much rather wait and hear what Didymus and Snake have to say. I have a few ideas on how we might approach the Paris Sakura Team, but it's not my decision.”

Truthfully, Didymus' mood and outlook on his team had not improved since last night, and he found himself battling with the notion that the only reason they were here was to tell him where he could stuff his briefing once he had given it.

Such thoughts are not constructive... he reminded himself.

"Alright, here's the deal. I'm going to likely be at Notre Dame most of the day, pulling guard duty on a relic brought in for display today and attempting to see what I can learn from a Sakura Team member, Erica Fontaine, doing the same thing."

He paused.

"As for the other members, we do have leads, but most importantly, perhaps, is that our ambassador has spoken to the owner of the Chattes Noires, Isabel Lilac. She's agreed to a meeting. With Musashi, and Musashi alone." he said.

He paused again.

"I don't know what else is going on, but Snake, I still need to speak with you about last night's events. I need to know what happened to you last night."

"That's all I have in stone, at least for the time being. But obviously we'll want to hear about the results of that meeting, should you attend it, Musashi, as soon as possible. If you don't attend, we can send someone else, certainly...but we can't tell how that will be received...any questions, anyone?" he asked.

Jenny paused, then nodded her head.

“If at all possible I would like to stay with Snake and help wherever he is,” Jenny said, “I understand if you think I should be somewhere else, since I'm a medic. But if you don't think I'll be particularly needed in any one place...”

She wanted to help Snake, but she'd knew she'd feel worse if she skipped out on part of the mission where her expertise would be better placed...

-Notre Dame-

Aiden was there, waiting for Didymus and the others still, outside of the church, smiling a little happily to herself as she waited.

New York City

Hawkins' House

Samara usually did not sleep, she wasn't a human and thus didn't need to regain her energy. She would be able to function as long as Blake rested, so she sleeping was pointless...

But as she watched Blake sleep in the middle of the night (not creepy at alllll) she found herself wondering what it was like to rest. Or maybe to dream like the boy seemed to be doing. Sometime around three in the morning the shadow girl found her curling up on the foot of the bed much like a dog, closing her eyes and trying to sleep.

Apparently some time between then and now it worked, as the girl had fallen into a deep sleep. She only woke as Blake shook her. IInstantly the girl's eyes snapped open and she found herself staring at the boy. "W-what happened?" she asked, obviously confused of why she was just lying there on the bed like a human.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Samara gave a gasp, disappearing.

"Little brother time to get up!!" Joyce exclaimed, poking her head in the door with a smile. Joyce was still was in her nightgown, with her long dark hair tried up in a messy bun. Every morning she checked on the boy, making sure he was up and helping him get ready for school or just the day.

[...]

"Morning love" Melanie said appearing with a cup of coffee for Galv and a cup of juice for herself. She was officially forcing herself not to drink caffeine now that she was pregnant again. She leaned over his chair, looking at the paper. She frowned at the mention of more terrorist attacks. "No good news?"

Sama's Apartment

Crystal ended up staying with Sama at his apartment....Something that could be seem as relatively romantic.....If Kimi had not stayed as well.

Crystal ended up sleeping on the couch, curled up under a mess of blankets.

Suddenly there was a loud bang at the door.

"Crystal! Are you there?! It's me Jeremie!"

Ha. Ha.

Paris

Chloe's Bar

"Well good morning there lover boy"

Chloe was suddenly in front of Aaron, her lips curved in a grin as she stood in the doorway in a slik robe with a cup of coffee in her hand. She noticed the panic in the boy's face but didn't seem fazed, instead she walked in and plopped herself on the bed in front of him, offering him the cup. "Rough night eh?"

Chloe was fully aware Aaron had proceeded to drink himself into a stupor. She was not shy to admit she totally took advantage of it.

[...]

Meanwhile Sarai had ended up staying the night at the bar as well, unable to find someone sober enough to walk her back to the embasy at the end of the night. She was passed out in Chloe's bed, waking suddenly in confusion.

The girl yawned, looking around. She only had one drink, enjoying it as she got to know that boy....Connor was it? She wondered what happened to him....She also felt stupid that she had not managed to ask about where he was staying. She would have loved to see him again-

"Wait...." Sarai mumbled, looking around Chloe's room..."Where's Chloe?"

US Embassy

Laila and Adrianna sat in the meeting room, waiting for Musashi and Nanami. Both girls were quiet (drinking coffee) but they seemed to be worried.

Aaron still hadn't shown back up. It wasn't that the boy didn't disappear every now and then, but it was a dangerous time to be on your own.

[US Embassy]

Snake had arrived just before Didymus gave the briefing. He did not sit down, instead standing in the corner and leaning against the wall. He had an unlit cigar in his mouth, chewing on the end – a habit of his whenever he was annoyed.

"As for the other members, we do have leads, but most importantly, perhaps, is that our ambassador has spoken to the owner of the Chattes Noires, Isabel Lilac. She's agreed to a meeting. With Musashi, and Musashi alone.

Musashi nodded. “That's fine by me. I assume you can brief me about Lilac before this meeting?”

“Hold it.” Nanami said, leaning forward in her seat. “How do we know this isn't a trap? I'm not comfortable with Musashi going to some meeting alone.”

“I'll be armed. And I assume we'll have people nearby in case anything goes wrong.” Musashi shrugged.

[Chloe's Bar

Connor had a busy night. His grandfather, Corwin, had ended up getting incredibly drunk forcing Connor to walk him back to their hotel, while trying not to get thrown up on. It hadn't been fun, and it had stopped Connor from getting to say goodbye to Sarai.

That was why he found himself walking towards the bar again, his hands in his pockets. They had something they needed to do today... something very important... but he wanted to see Sarai first. He wasn't sure what he would say to her, but he still wanted to see her.

He arrived at the bar, and knocked on the door a couple of times. He doubted it was open yet.

[New York City]

[Sama's Apartment]

Sama groaned, waking up when he heard a loud banging at the door. He very quickly realized he was not in his nice, comfortable bed – but sleeping in a chair at his desk.

“Augh, my back.” Sama groaned. He stood up, his back extremely stiff. He hated to sleep in a chair, but he didn't have much of a choice. He had been a gentlemen and given Crystal the only couch. Kimi had taken the bedroom for herself, because are you really surprised?

He quickly headed out into the main room, heading towards the door. He opened it and saw Jeremie on the other side.

“Do you have any idea how early it is?” Sama groaned.

-Hawkins' House-

“I am, Joyce,” Blake said to his older sister, smiling at her, “We're both up.”

He paused, frowning and looking where Samara had been before Joyce knocked on the door.

“Samara come back, you don't need to be frightened, it's just Joyce...” Blake said calmly.



“Good morning, dear,” Galv said, smiling and giving Melanie a kiss as she handed him his coffee. No sugar in it, of course.

He took a sip as he flipped the pages in the paper, then sighed, putting it away for now.

“I think we should keep the kids from school for today, at least,” Galv said to Melanie.

Paris

-Chloe's Bar-

Aaron was quiet, staring at Chloe, then the coffee cup she offered him as she then sat on the bed. After a moment he took the cup, being careful not to break it in his nervousness. He took some calming breaths, techniques learned from his father and Old Man Sensei, before he sipped the coffee.

“Umm...I don't...I don't remember what happened, last night...” Aaron said, deciding it would be best just to be honest, “I had a few drinks, and...Well... I don't remember anything else after that.”

Chloe didn't seem angry with him, so he was pretty sure he didn't accidentally destroy her bar with his strength, at least. But he had no idea what else happened.

Which was pretty much just him passing out, but he didn't know that.

Joyce blinked "Both?" she asked, looking around. She walked further into the room but she didn't manage to see anyone else.

Until Blake called the girl back out. Samara appeared once more, looking disheveled. Joyce stayed quiet, eying the girl for a moment.

"Blake, you need to get ready for school, i'm gonna go make your lunch...Don't stay up here too long"

[...]

"You think so?" Melanie asked with a frown "I mean should this all mess with our personal lives? What if it's nothing?"

Or what if the school gets blown up next.

Sama's Apartment

Crystal mumbled something from her spot on the couch, still under a bunch of blankets as Sama answered the door.

Once the door opened Jeremie pushed his way in. "I was worried that you had decided to try to take advantage of Crystal! She never came hom last night"

How do YOU know that Jeremie!? Creepers be creepin'

Paris

Chloe's Bar

"Oh you were crrrrrraaaaazzzzy, danced on the bar and sang with some sailors! Didn't know an American guy like you could speak such fluent Spanish! They LOVED you! Well...Until you smashed a bottle upside one of their heads!"

Chloe giggled.

"After that you got all wiggily and I took you back to my place...Like my bed? It's comfy isn't it?"

Luckily this isn't really Chloe's bed.

[...]

Sarai heard loud knocking, the girl blinking and looking around. The sound apparently was coming from outside....Someone was knocking on the door. Instantly Sarai went to the window, looking out and spotting Connor from downstairs. Instantly the girl's eyes widened, calling out for him "H-Hello! Uh! I'll come down and let you in!"

“... How exactly do you know she didn't come home last night?” Sama asked. He was a detective, and immediately picked up on the creepy subtext of what Jeremie said. “You do realize stalking is a crime, right? Maybe I should arrest you.”

Sama laughed to himself. “Look, nothing happened last night.”

… suddenly, Kimi emerged from the bedroom, wearing a bathrobe. Her hair was covering her face and she slowly stumbled down the hallway, in desperate need of coffee. She walked right by Sama and Jeremie without a word.

Sama just sighed, realizing how it looked to have a girl in a robe walk out of his room.

[Paris]

[Chloe's Bar]

Connor looked up and spotted Sarai and he froze for a moment, and then he waved up at her.

“Oh, H-Hi! I hope it's not too early for me to come by...” Connor said, nervously.
