After she took a shower, Makoto spent some time applying medicine and wrapping a bandage around the wound on her back. She didn't want to risk getting the wound infected.

Makoto threw on some casual clothes: dark brown cargo pants, a black sleeveless shirt, and her dark blue jacket. She had no plans on walking out of the apartment with full armor. She holstered her handgun in the concealed shoulder holster under her right arm along with a few ammo clips.

Makoto left the apartment once again, and wandered the streets of Old Tokyo.

Upon returning back to the flat, Jayden scoops out what is left that is actually edible or in other words, isn't covered in flies or has yet been touched by the hands of his room mate.
"That bastard," Jayden grits his teeth, seeing that his room mate has not stocked the fridge yet again before slamming the fridge shut and stomping down the hall to pound on his room mate's bedroom door, "Have you ever heard of getting off your lazy backside and going to purchase some food for once in your life?" Only hearing a few grunts from the other side of the door, Jayden sighs and decides he will grab a bite of eat on his way back to the office. With room mates like that, who needed enemies?

[Sadrain]

Just two days. Just two blasted days she was out of the city, and everything managed to turn upside down. Explosion, skull hunter clash with skulls, open fire, and from what she heard, even Kyd getting injured. "Talk about predictability," Akemi thought to her self. Just before this, she had came to conclusion nothing earth shattering would happen for the next month. So, where had she miscalculated...? And what else she wasn't predicting? This ticked the young woman off and her pace quickened, almost subconsciously, as she went down Old Tokyo's street.

While usually she was dressed up what would identify her as Vampire Skull -gothic and gothic lolita styled dresses in black, with laces and ribbons-, for mingling with the crowd, she had chosen a simple black outfit, with enough loose places and hidden pockets to hide her arsenal. Her long white hair was braided and Akemi looked rather regular, on the colorful and crowded streets. Despicably regular. But she knew it was the price of some relative safety. She had already paid for this 'safety' with her family's manor, her persona and old life. Akemi basically did not exist anymore.

With a sigh, she picked a cafe to head in. She needed some coffee. And to observe. One can never know what information comes to them unexpectedly. This was her second important duty. The first was already taken care of. Akemi had checked up on most of Toxic Skulls, ordered to keep low profile and to search and warn the ones not in first reach. Another her order was to not go anywhere near the explosion sight. More bad attention was last thing they needed. It seemed like skull hunters were taking some extra actions now. However, Akemi knew she should explore the area around it.

OOC: Sorry about bad post, headache and tired.

[Dawn]

Upon the first cafe that sells British foods, came up on his way back, Jayden strolls in and takes the first available seat at the counter. Pulling out a cigarette, his eyes travel around the place before the waitress behind the counter asks him for his order.
Is it too early in the day to start drinking? Jayden ponders for a moment, What the hell, it'll make the paperwork go quicker.
"An order of fish and chips and one large pint of beer." Jayden tells the waitress who walks away to put his order in.

[NikkoGallarado]

Ashton listen to Chloe story as the witress walked away with both of there orders. "I think you did a wonderful thing by being a good person. Both my mother father are gone really butthey left when I was little older. My friend who happens to be a Tech skull was the one who took care of me in away." she said. The waitress had come back with the drink placed them down before the owners of who had ordered them then said the meals would be out shortly. "The one I am asking about is Yamazaki Kido, he should be a fairly tall green eyes has a scar over his left eye always has a pair head phones and some kind of tool kit or something. I just want to know if he is okay."

[Sadrain]

First thing Akemi always did walking into a room, was checking out the people in it and looking for possible threats. This time, she came to recognize two the moment she saw them. She was not sure of their names, but about their belonging to Skulls, she was sure about. And even two different Skull groups. What could they be discussing? This tickled her curiosity and also suspicion. However, this was a good chance to set one of her plans into action.

"Mind if I join you for a moment?" Akemi asked, stopping to their table. "It won't be for long, don't worry," she added, however how she meant - in friendly or threatening way - was hard to tell, by looking at her stiff expression. Her purple eyes stopped at each of them for a moment, with a cold, nearly piercing gaze, but then her lips pulled in somewhat of a smile. The girl did not want to make them feel endangered. For now.

[NikkoGallarado]

Ashton looked over her as quieted her self some listened to the new comer that had showed up then looked over to Chloe to see if she knew who it was. Ashton her self knew some of the other members but not all. Her red eyes looked at the other girl carefully trying to think of something polite to say to her. "Hmmm, welcome." was all she could really say, as she picked up her glass of warer taking a sip from it.

[Dawn]

Chloe takes a sip of her coffee, not answering Ashton's question with the new person present before casting a glance through half closed eyes at Akemi and gesturing at one of the empty seats, "I am not stopping you from joining us." she says with a curt tone not caring if this person takes offence to her tone or not, "Through, if you here for information, I am afraid to disappoint you, I am not interested in factions affairs outside of my own."

[Sadrain]

Akemi sat down, smile fading away from her lips. She took only so much care to seem kind. However, a smirk played in her mouth's corners. That Techie was a smart one. And blunt. Such straightforward people... In a way, both despicable and admirable.

"I do not come for information. I come with a message from one of Toxic Ryuujins to yours." She paused, for a moment, letting the words sink in. "You may say you don't care about other faction affairs, but you should realize that it is the foundation of our weakness. Without the Emperor, Skulls have been falling apart, and Skull Hunters are snooping down from the sky, to tear each of us apart and then feast on us. Like this, we are weak. I heard that Punishers have already suffered quite a few casualties in just one fight. However, if it hadn't been just one handful of Skulls, but many of them, the outcome would've been a lot different, because we are better than them..." Her glance went to Chloe, then Ashton, as she trailed off in meaningful silence.

"That you know your selves, though." Akemi suddenly broke the silence again. "My point is that Shadow Mask is calling all Ryuujins and their factions for a meeting, in neutral settings, to discuss the threat that Skull Hunters are imposing. And it is a threat, as we all know, no matter how you would deny it on surface. The time and place... Will be given, after you have delivered the message. We will know if you don't and the loss would only be your factions."

"I really want coffee right now," Akemi thought as her sight slightly fogged. Another pain wave was going to hit soon. She should leave before that occurs. But before that, she would hear what they had to say.

[Dawn]

Chloe sits the cup of coffee back on the table and rests her chin on her hands, staring straight at Akemi, "I was under the impression the commotion was with the Fire Skulls," she tilts her head to the side, her eyes barely slits, "Yet, you make a good point but sometimes knowing too much about other factions could also be a weakness while ignorance could be a saving grace, just takes one little slip and the information could be passed upon police or even the skull hunters whom could use the information to track down and take out even more of our factions." Chloe pauses, "Nevertheless, I shall pass your message on and after that, it is out of my hands."

[NikkoGallarado]

Ashton listened to them both taking in the information they in way are sharing. "Well, I have no real say in the matter, I am just an underling but if needed I can and will pass this bit o knowledge on with my leader." she said as he gaze moved away from Akemi to the waitress who brought out the food placed it down on to the table. The girl looked at the new comer, "can I get you anything?" was all the girl said.

[Sadrain]

"You do have a valid point, that is why the balance, if formed, would need careful maintenance and watching over. But it is possible," Akemi stressed. It seemed they did not oppose the idea too much, but what would the others say, and even them, when rest of her plan was revealed...

She turned her gaze to waitress and shook her head lightly. "No, thank you. I am about to leave." While she still wanted coffee, lingering here right now did not seem like a good idea. She would get her medicine and drink coffee elsewhere.

The young woman stood up and nodded to her table partners. "Take care. We need not our few numbers lessen further. Good luck." With that, she left the cafe. Few steps in a nearby alleyway and pain waves crashed over her. Her expression twisted as she grit her teeth. Walking deeper in the alley, sliding between some old things, she pulled out syringe, pulled her pants down slightly and put in her vein. Relief washed over her nearly instantly and her eyes fluttered half shut. But she could not wallow in it too long and another potion quickly followed first. Muscle at her mouth twitched, and then she straightened clothing, returning on the street, as if nothing had happened.

OO C: The method she uses is like people with Diabetes disease sometimes would do.

[Dawn]

Chloe watches as Akemi leaves before taking another sip of her coffee and glancing at Ashton, "Doesn't matter if your an underling or not, you still have the right to voice an opinion when it regards yourself as well," she sits back, her expression serious, "Yamazaki, eh? The last I heard he was doing quite well but than our paths haven't crossed much of lately. Most likely I shall be passing the message on to him so I can let him know you have been asking about him and if you want, I could also ask him to get in touch with you."

The pint was refreshing while the fish and chips were just, well, they made Jayden miss London a bit. Pulling out some money, Jayden exits the cafe and begins to walk toward the police station.

Harlie Mae Finn/Finn~ <3

After an excruciating time at the airport, Harlie loaded her luggage into a taxi, told the driver the address of her family's home in New Tokyo, and away they went. She had just returned from a week long vacation with her family in Venice. Her parents had returned a day early, but she chose to stay behind one more day to get some alone time.

A short while passed and she pulled up to her home, paid the driver and stepped out of the vehicle to claim her bags. After a stare directed towards the driver, he quickly understood and hopped out of the car quickly to get her bags for her. She smiled a coy smile and said only, "Thank you." before walking up the sidewalk to the front door.

An hour later, and she had unpacked and spent some time talking with her parents before announcing that she was going out for a bit. Her mother smiled, kissed her on the cheek and told her the usual, "Be careful out there MaeMae!" Harlie nodded in return and replied, "Aren't I always?" No... no she was not. And she wouldn't have it any other way.

A little while later she was walking down a street, looking for a familiar face, or something to do, and she happened to walk by a quaint diner where she saw Ashton sitting. She saw her with some other people, and didn't want to interrupt, so she stood by the door and waved to get her attention, just so she knew that Harlie was back in town, then took a seat at a table outside and waited patiently for a waitress.

OOC: Not my BEST intro post, but I hope its good enough~

[Dawn]

Jayden stopped to pull out another cigarette and pulled out his lighter to light it.
"Those things are seriously going to kill you," comes an annoyed voice.
Jayden looks over to see a raven haired young girl in a Tokyo school uniform glaring at him, "Yeah, well, they say what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger," he takes a puff, "Anyway, aren't you suppose to still be in School and does your sister know your wandering down town by yourself?" before muttering under his breath, "And I have told her a hundred times I am not a damn child minder."
The girl's green eyes narrow into slits, "The school sent me home cause I was sick again and no, she doesn't."
Jayden just sighs, he knew the young girl had health risks before he had moved into the flat with her sister and the room mate from Hell but he had mentioned a dozen times or so to the sister about him not being a live in babysitter even through, he had grown to love the young girl as if she was his younger sister and there was no way he would allow her to walk back to the flat on her own.
"Come on than," Jayden says, crushing out his cigarette with the hell of his boot, "I still have work to do so you will have to stay around the station till I'm done."

[NikkoGallarado]

Ashton looked at Chloe some as she saw something out from the corner of her eye. Seeing it was Finn she pardon her self for a moment went over to the door to see the only other real person she could get along with. "Finn, you're back from your long trip?" she asked with a smile then loked thoughtful for a moment. "I am glad you are back, how was it? Oh hmmm would you mind if I asked her some thing about a friend it was hard for us to talk before since the Ryuujin from the Toxic Skulls came by to share some info that I guess I need to pass on with you.
