(OOC: BTW, as in the other thread(s) i use Asuka in, /'s in quotes denote she's speaking in Japanese)
"/Are you Japanese?/" she asked Shinji.
(So far only Vallerys standing at the apartment door. Every one should be getting around there around the same time too. So everyone just meet up around the door. Also the aparments all ran down andfalling apart.)
"Ding-Dong" The intercomm came on and the Piolet began to speak. "ahh.. we'll be landing in Rome internatoinal airport in about 30 minutes. It's aproximatley 6:25 and the skies are clear. and if you don'tind fasen your seat belts and prepare for land." And as soon as the Piolet stopped speaking the translators began to say what the Piolet had just anounced. And looking out the window displayed Italy, rome in all it's glory.
Vallery wondered if the old apartment would even hold one person. It was run down like an old mill, the floors were creaking wood, roaches crawling along the floor. Some druggies here, one there two here. She climbed over where the upper floor had caved in, and walked on, trying to find the room.
She found it, finally. She smiled, walking toward it. She grabbed the handle, it was locked. What bloody reason would it be locked for! She gave a fit like a spoiled child, she hated waiting, but she had to. She knew the people who contacted her were important, why send two tickets? Unless this WAS just one bit alaborate scam...
(OOC: Skipping ahead...)
Asuka was next to arrive at the apartment. It seemed squalid, but she had seen worse. At least the rats and little kids weren't fighting over the dog excrement.
She approached Vallery and introduced herself.
"Greetings, I suppose you're here for the job too?"
Void walked up to the door next. "You'd think if they could afford first class tickets they'd have a nicer place."

"Don't judge a book by it's cover," Asuka said, smiling.
(Lets just assume Shinji's with you all.)
As the group stood around waiting for the next move they began to hear some moaning sounds. Looking around they was a feedled old man hunched over using a cane and holding a large metal case. He moved slowly and didn't say a word. He just moaned with every step.
Slowly he approached the group and they back out of the sickly old mans way. Supprisingly he stopped when he reached the door. Searching through his pockets he brought out a large key chain. Trying almost every key and failing, he could hear the group of assasins behind him growin impaitent.
And finnaly the door swung open. Looking inside showed a big table in the center and a small kitchen with a leaky roof to the left and a bathroom to the right. Then behind the table sat a black and white TV and a coach that looked like it was from the 50's.
The old man entered and turned to face the oncomeing group. waiting to see what they would say.
"Not one for the glory of modern conveniences, eh?" Asuka said to the old man.
"You will be far to busy for modern conveniences, Asuka. There is much work to be done." The oldman said in a surprisingly young voice. As if he was late teens or early twenties.
Asuka scoffed at the idea. Her very body was filled with little "modern conveniences" Arachnos had decided to put into her body.
"When we're talking business, don't use my real name," she said, a strong chill in her voice.
"Fine then, Call me Mr. Shadow. Now will you all please step into the apartment please. We have much to discuss and very little time." The Old man said waving for them to enter.
Asuka stepped in and had a seat one the couch. She reached inside her coat and hit a switch. Whenever she discussed a job that couldn't be put in writing, having audio documentation proved valuable.
Vallery stepped in and leaned against the wall. She flung her yoyo shuriken out to amuse herself, she let them glide along the floor and the ceiling as they went up and down.
She finally remembered the guy, Void! "I knew I remembered you... Mr. Void. "She giggled, "Nice to see two faces I can remember, Shinji." She said, smiling at them both, letting her teeth show.
"Hey Vallery! I guess everyone is on a 'vacation' right about now, ha ha ha!"
"Hey Val. You don't... you know... still get hungry often, do you?"
He looked around the apartment.
"The first few pages don't look too great either."

The old man set the Breifcase he was carrying on the table with a loud clunk. "Would one of you mind closing that door." He was quite serious in the matter.
Void nodded and shut it. He leaned against it though, in case a quick exit was needed,

"Thank you" The old man said. Then suddently reach undernieth the collar of his shirt he began to tug at something. Then he started... pulling his face off. The layer of skin (Missoin impossible style.) tore off revieling a young man with dark green hair, a green tattoo on the right side of his face and the lower half of his face was covered by white cloth. It was Ryan the shadow.
"This room is now secure and Sacred East Wind you can put the recorder away." Ryan said as he unclipped the locks on the suitcase. When it opened it revieled the top of a laptop. One infact for each person in the room. Ryan set them accordingly around the Table. Then motoined where each of them should seat. With Ryan's back towards the door and going towards the right, Sacred East Wind, Void Brawler, Vallery, and Shinji.
The Laptops were amazingly thin and on the top was a strange Symbol. Ryan then sat down. and opened up his laptop. "This is the first of many gifts that the Agency will provide you with." Ryan said as the laptop instantly booted up showing his desktop, showing the same symbol.
"Niiice, but when do we get our own?"
Void pushed off the door and picked up the lap top. He looked it over before opening it and starting it up. "These are nice. How've you been, Ryan?"

"Good, It's nice being back in the assasin buisness." Ryan said as he waited for the others to get in place. Leaning back in his chair. "And void, How's your life been treating you"
"Same as always." By the look on his face, the others in the room could tell it wasn't good.

"Yes, Void, I still feed like any normal person..." She rolled her eyes.
When Ryan revealed himself from under the mask she grinned wider, "Like a reunion!" she squeeled. She went over and took one of the lap tops.
"Uh... I'm not good with these things... I'm more of an action stratagist, not a genious..." She said, frowning. Yes, one of her flaws was electronics, she ahted them and was never good with them.
