Ansigar Kokinos
Precinct Center, Fox - Entering

As Ansigar approached the group he saw Adran as well as Mephisto with Lucius. The thought occurred that he hadn't had his exam yet. He contemplated headed back to avoid the exam but he was pretty sure that they had already felt his presence. "Hello, how is everyone this fine day," he said as he approached them. "Here ya go Lucius." He handed him the coffee. "I would have gotten y'all some too had I known y'all were going to be here," Ansigar said looking at Adran and Mephisto.

Before he could comment on anything further he started to feel a numbing presence. One that felt familiar. Seems like everyone wants to hear what the fox says.... Still he put on a smile and accepted the cup of coffee, extra sugar and caffeine enough to keep someone awake for days but for a devil completely normal. "Good day Ansigar." clapping a friendly hand on his back. "What brings you to my abode of residence?" Really it was a dumb question but it was kinda assimilated in how he interacted due to the character he played when guests found a way to interact with him. Hell he noticed that the tone kinda shifted to a normal one with the Devils arrival though it might regress back if Mephisto asks about Sloth's magic.
 
Mephisto -- Precinct Center, Fox

Giving a yawn Mephisto gave a glare to the slow yet silent approach of the Devil of the Bear Precinct.It was odd how he managed to make others tired. It was an ability he didn’t understand due to the simple fact that he had it before he came to the island. Mephisto didn’t by any means think that magic didn’t exist outside of the island but it made him wary as how it would react with the local magic.

Finishing up with Adran he turned to the newcomer, “Your turn since you decided to come here to me rather than wait in your precinct,” at the rate he was going he would be able to knock nearly all the devils out with one go. It gave him pause, “It’s never been this easy to gather so many devils together in one place…”
He held the thermometer out for Ansigar to take in his mouth before getting the other things ready, “Question. Has anything unusual with your magic happened lately?”

After handing the coffee to Lucius he sits down on the ground. "Nothing really, just thought I'd stop by and hang out for a while," Ansigar responded sheepishly. "I haven't seen any of y'all in a long time."

Looking at the thermometer he thought to himself, why did it have to be today. He took the thermometer and slipped it in his mouth, then proceeded to pop a cigarette in his mouth and light it before anyone had the chance to say anything. "No I haven't noticed any difference in the magic....everyone still passes out when I walk past them," he told Mephisto in a somber tone

Downing the coffee in a manner not suited for someone of his birth, Lucius' eyes went wide for but a second only to return to normal. Too bad, maybe then we'd all not have to pinch ourselves awake everytime you decide to go against your sin and wonder into our districts. Holding in a yawn, his back against a marble wall the sun beaming off his sweaty face.

"It really is hot out today." Not many knew this besides the devils and those who worked for him, but Lucius always hated the heat. The winter fox was a nickname some gave him because his room was normally cold enough to where someone would have to put on a jacket. In fact, he couldn't sleep unless a fan was blowing in his face.
 
Adran Triveron - Precinct Center, Fox

At the appearance of Sloth, Adran had to rub his eyes in order to help keep himself awake. It was a terribly frustrating power that Ansigar possessed, very counter-productive when the Devils were trying to get work done together. "Well, that's three Devils accounted for. Though I don't recall you saying whether a fluctuation in power happened to yourself, Mephisto. Care to enlighten us?" He had a theory on why Mephisto would keep quiet on the subject, but it all depended on his answer and how believable Adran thought it was.
 
Mephisto -- Precinct Center, Fox

Mephisto glanced at Adran after he finished checking Ansigar’s pulse and breathing. The question didn’t even gain as much as a reaction from him other than the glance, “I wouldn’t have noticed even if I did experience such a thing.”

It was a gentle way of the Devil of Pride telling the snake to keep to himself. There were few in this world that Mephisto would explain himself to. The men before him weren’t any of those beings. He paused for a moment as he felt some unknown energy get too close to the tree of life only to vanish. His gaze shifted back to his island’s heart. He was sure the other hadn’t felt it after all none but he and his sister seemed so tuned to the island, “I will let you know if anything else comes up.” He packed his things into his bag after he finished with the Sloth.

After Mephisto finished, Ansigar laid down and stared at the sky watching the clouds drift by. He wished that he could be like the clouds and wander aimlessly where ever he felt like going at the time. But as he laid there daydreaming an ash from his cigarette landed on his cheek and jolted him back to reality just as Mephisto was packing his things. "You leaving already? Its always business with you," Ansigar said hoping to get him to stay and hang out for a little bit, though he knew it was a lost cause.

Ansigar sat up. Something in the air didn't feel right to him. It's probably just me, he thought to himself as he looked around to see if anyone else noticed. Halfway through though he decided to forget about it and enjoy the company he was with.
 
Lucius Mammon
Outside Precinct center.


Curiouser and curiouser. Pride wasn't one to lose his composure or to give out any information on most phenomena on the island, yet he seemed to be losing a bit of his poker face. What do you know?..... I must attain the information! Easier said than done though considering how stubborn Mephisto could be and how awful Lucius felt. It pained him to keep his curiosity in check but when he got this curious he only needed to mask his interest by focusing his greed on something else in mind.

Almost as quite as a church mouse Lucius snuck up behind Ansigar and patted him on the back, his smile was friendly though the red sick on his face did make Lucius seem more.... Well. Human. "Would you like to join me and Adran for a drink? My treat." Why in gods name was he doing this to himself? Maybe he just wanted to suffer or maybe it was just the greed in him wanting to take some of their time, it wouldn't be the first time he let his sinful tendencies get more. Abstract.
 
Adran Triveron - Precinct Center, Fox

The sin of Envy smirked a little at pride's veiled implications. He wasn't a sadist like the psychotic sin of Wrath, Emerald, but he did quite enjoy ruffling the feathers of those whom he didn't get along with, though he tended to have that effect on pride without having to try. Not wanting to incite confrontation on this topic, he merely shrugged and began to turn towards Sloth and Greed. "Fair enough then. Farewell, Mephisto, oh and give my regards to Alissa if you happen to bump into her before I do." He gave a smile and granted the others his attention.

"Well then, shall we be off? I must admit, I'm curious which establishment you had in mind for this drink of ours, Lucius. We'd be delighted to have you along as well, Ansigar." He was back to his polite smile again, though a bit worried internally that Sloth might end up putting Greed to sleep during their outing, since the businessman was already exhausted from this illness.
 
Mephisto - Precinct Center

Something shifted in Mephisto's dark red eyes as in a flash of movement he had extracted one of the few scalpels he kept on his person and grabbed Adran's wrist with the other free hand. The scalpel was pressing against the son's neck just below his left ear, "That woman better not be coming here. And you would do good to tell her so."

Letting the man go and getting his bag again he put the scalpel away. Moving away he headed towards the other side of the inner ring of the island. He had places to be and people to see. He was headed to see a hot head for now.

With that comment that Adran made he expected the next move to happen as Mephisto put a scalpel to Adran's neck. You just don't talk about Alissa. We all knew that he hated that woman with a passion.

Ansigar felt a pat on his back. Turning his attention away from Adran, he looked at Lucius, "that sounds good to me. Where are we going?" This always hapened, he didn't know why but every time he planned on kicking back and relaxing, he always seemed to be persuaded to do something. Most of the time it was Lucius, he was always getting him to drink with him.

Smirking a little at the display that pride and envy just showed, it seemed like Envy forgot to hold his tongue. Alissa.... Another one of his childhood 'Friends' she was an, opinionated woman even when she was young and not too bad on the eyes. After all, she was in a way his first crush. When he could feel more emotions back then at least..... I wonder if she'd make me feel the same way now? hmm best not think about it right now, besides I have Isabella.

"I have a personal stash of delectable wine or if you wish something stronger or sweater. I can always have room service to bring in some more delightful for the pallet." Of course, he meant his own room, he felt so terrible and sleepy right now all he wanted to do was to lay in bed right after these mooches are done... "How does that sound to you Adran?" Completely ignoring the fact that he was just held by a knife wielded by pride.
 
Adran Triveron - Precint Center, Fox

Adran only smirked as the knife was drawn to his throat, savoring the small amount of pride that was elicited from causing Mephisto to completely lose his composure. The others might have thought him foolish for speaking of her, but it was a most deliberate act on Adran's part. There were only two people Adran knew who managed to make him feel some semblance of joy, those women were Niomi and Alissa. He'd kept in touch with Ali and knew she was returning soon, so he gave her Mephisto's number, his mentioning of her was just a bit of foreshadowing for a text that would come soon.

Checking his neck to make sure the scalpel hadn't pierced the flesh slightly, he nodded to Lucius. "That sounds fine by me. I may have to cut our visit short though, I've an appointment with a patient in the Ram district and don't wish to keep her waiting too long."

With that Lucius led the two towards his private chamber. Noticeable they were taking the short route, bypassing all the impressive works of art that littered the halls of the inside. Normally it all these different types of art and statues would clash being so near each other but somehow with how long and wide the hall was and the coloration of silver carpet, light brown mahogany, marble walls that were tinted with golden stars made everything seem to blend.

Entering the large doors guarded by the latest and best scanning technology that money could by, the small group was greeted by a rush of cold air that Lucius seemed to delight in. "Make yourself convertible, I'll order some drinks and a meal." In case Adran interjected he put in. "To go if you'd like."

The room seemed more like a palace than one man's room. Incents of rich and exotic smells that pleased the senses, an indoor pool with a hot tub built in it, soft chocolate brown carpet that covered a smooth marble floor, A TV that was as big as a movie screen projection on the wall, as well as various games. Lucius took a deep sigh as he melted down on a vibrating couch.

Isabella Rose

unknown to the rest Isabella Lucius's second in command and bodyguard was taking a shower. She had been ordered to stay inside until Lucius, something she fought strongly against for the last hour and a half, but ultimately she sensed that there was no getting through that thick skull of his. Despite how sick he was, despite them being together since childhood, despite her duty to guard him with her life, despite how his powers shut off suddenly.... The latter she was grateful for but not if it harmed her master's health.

Her train of thought suddenly halted when she sensed him come in. True the in which she could tell where he was range is normally 1000 meters but when she is lost in thought she can sometimes ignore the feeling until it's close. Not even bothering to cover herself she enters the almost 40-degree room, that she was used to. "Welcome back master." She said half joyfully half full of playfulness. "So how was-" it was then she noticed the two other devils in the room. "...... Seems like your brought some guests." Not even seeming to be bother that she was naked in front of them, after all something so trivial as that was trained out of her, she needed to be ready to defend her master even if not equipt.

The psychologist took in the lavish area that Greed escorted him and Sloth into, it was far too cold, but he'd come to expect that from Lucius, which was why he'd brought his jacket along with him, putting it on as soon as they entered his abode. At his words, Adran frowned slightly. "Oh please, Lucius, I'm hardly so busy that I'd dash out of here in a mere 5 minutes."

He was about to sit down in an armchair when he heard a woman's voice ring out from the bathroom area. A young blonde woman appeared, fully nude, and addressed Lucius as 'master'. Adran could only assume she was his servant, but why she was allowed to roam so freely, in more ways then one was beyond his imagination. Looking over the woman, he saw that she was quite attractive, and seemed perfectly comfortable roaming about nude in front of people, so she clearly had confidence in her body. Aside from that though Adran could see nothing particularly remarkable about her.

Regardless he smiled politely and moved over to shake her hand. "Hello there, I'm Adran Triveron, a pleasure to make your acquaintance. We're business partners of Lucius here." With that he moved back over to the armchair and sat down. "You've never mentioned this one before Lucius, aren't you going to introduce us?"

As they entered the building a refreshing blast of cold air hit him. He enjoyed the cold but Lucius liked it a tad bit colder than him. When they entered the room he was about to head to his favorite spot on the floor when Isabella came out of the bathroom. This wasn't the first time he had seen Isabella, though this was the first time he had seen her nude like this. Seeing her like this brought a some heat to his face as it turned into a blush. "Nice to see you again, Isabella," he said turning his head away trying to hide the blush. He walked over to a place across from the chairs and laid down on the floor on his side with his head propped up on his hand facing the group. He had always been attracted to the girl, he was just too lazy to make a move.

"What's on the menu today," he asked knowing that the menu changed day to day. He was kind of hungry. Plus Lucius had said it was on him, so he couldn't really turn down the free food.

He looked at Adran like he was a confused child. "I know I have mentioned Isabella before..... AH!" He claps his hands in understanding. "You've never been around when I have mentioned or when she is with me!" He then started to laugh a small amused laugh. "Funny isn't it?" Turning his head to Sloth. "filet mignon dabbled with peppers and spices along with a sweet potato on the side with cinimine butter, vegetable soup with your idea of sides, apple pie with decorated cherries, al-" A small delicate hand that smelled of lavender soap stopped him. "Stop." She laughed warmly. "Your starting to make me hungry."

Lucius might have liked to keep an image but when someone interrupted him he usually did show his annoyance with rare anger, he even displayed it when Pride interrupted him once, and at first it looked like he was about to burst into anger. Yet when he looked into those strangely pink eyes he calmed down and even made a joke. "The bodyguard giving the master orders? Isn't that the other way around?" He was smiling at her, though it quickly changed to a bewildered look. "I know you've been trained to not feel shame over this. But would it trouble you to put some clothes on?"

"Oh?" She wrapped his arms around him her chest pressing against the back of his head. "You normally don't mind me naked, especially at night." she cooed the latter in his ear, and for the first time he could recall Lucius mammon blushed from the act and her chocolate sweet words. "
J-Just do what I tell you!" His voice wasn't harsh but it was firm and had a very small hint of embarrassment.

Isabella smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "Ok. I've teased you enough." She said releasing his head and making hr way towards their room. Her movement was dignified, sexy, and had the air of hiding something.... Something deadly, though not malevolent.

Adran raised an eyebrow when Ansigar greeted Isabella with familiarity. Apparently he was the one who was out of the loop in this instance. "That must be the case." He confirmed Lucius' assertion, and was caught even more of guard by how affectionate their relationship was. "I'm sure I would've remembered the girl who could actually make you red in the face." He teased lightheartedly. But as she walked away, Adran couldn't help but feel that pang of jealousy in his heart, not because he wanted Isabella herself, but because he wanted the kind of relationship that those two had.

He checked the time on his phone. He had a bit of time left before he had to leave, but declined a meal since he wasn't feeling very hungry. "I'll just have a glass of whisky, myself. So, how has business been going for you two?" He asked, eager to at least get a bit of small talk done so he didn't seem rude when he left.

The filet mignon dish sounded good. All the dishes made here tasted exquisite, so he knew he didn't have to worry about bad food unlike when he ate at Emerald's place. "I'll take some of that with straight vodka," he said to Lucius. "You've never met Isabella?" he asked Adran.

As Isabella left the room he watched for a minute until she was in the other room. "Business is business as usual," He replied. He rolled onto his back and stared at the tall ceiling. Thoughts started to pile up in his head. He usually wasn't this thoughtful, but for some reason it all came rushing in now. He sighed and sat up.
