Calling All Creepy Crazies

[donttripwire.livejournal.com]

[Viper has called a meeting. He's radioed Hawk, migrated with Owl to the seventh floor, and is pacing thoughtfully in a broad room made of cement. It's sparse contents are metallic and dull, with fluorescent lights swinging above them.]

We'll use this floor as a base. Hawk said there were facilities on every floor and an innumerable amount of rooms. Do you know where any of the armories are located?

[He pauses in his pacing and faces Owl.]

Where are you sleeping?

No.

But we work with her.

[If she is even partially as powerful as she claims to be, a temporary alliance could provide them with a means to their end. And if she is just as powerful as she says she is, then becoming her enemy might just send them back to their graves.]

Watch her carefully. We can trust no one but ourselves.

[He rolls up the map, intent on taking it with him to wherever he finds a bed and a lock.]

A good policy, I've found.

[How did Pain sneak in without being noticed? Good question. He's probably not going to tell until he has his say, though.]

I wonder, though, if you'd be willing to tolerate a few more allies until you can find the right time to backstab them~

[He bows.]

Good to see you again, Owl, Viper. Mind hearing me out?

[compulsive-owl.livejournal.com]

Of course..

[His attention quickly strays from the doll in his hands upon hearing the other voice. Pain is a sneaky bastard, maybe being a ninja was part of his skills too.]

I don't mind.

[But it wasn't up to Owl, it was up to Viper. Owl's decisions haven't been the best in the past, so, now wouldn't make them any better.]

[donttripwire.livejournal.com]

[He hardly trusts the man, but would rather be a friend than an enemy.]

What do you have to say?

[Viper is not impressed by your mad ninja skills.]

[bringsuffering.livejournal.com]

Well...

[He turns serious.]

I am here on behalf of the Boss, the leader of my unit. We are looking for allies in this place and your unit seems most capable. I would like to start a partnership between my unit and yours.

Our most recent plans involve the overthrow of Colonel Volgin, who took over here two months ago, and his Soviet minions. He should not have real power here, but since everyone believes he does, he does. We would like to change that...with violence, preferably. If you could assist us, that would be most welcome.

I can't tell you what you will get out of this; Boss is in charge of that, not me. Nor will I ask for a permanent alligience; we both know what happens when two ambitious units stay together for too long.

However, we are a unit that believes in thoroughness and fair play for our friends, and if you want anyone dead or tortured, we can do that with ease. Sabotage and the theft of plans can be somewhat difficult, but we can manage.

And if Owl wants some vengeance on the other me, I would be glad to oblige. I've already brought him suffering once, and I'd love to do it again.

[Owl wasn't paying attention again, he only really needed to hear the last part anyway. He had no choice in this whole thing as stated before, just a small opinion. Slowly his hand ran through Osan's hair, so fragile against his hands.~]

Oh?~ What did you do?

[He should be really paying attention to the meeting, to this whole joining of the two groups instead of wondering how that man suffered. Even if he would have really liked to have done it himself. Pain is Pain, and suffering is suffering.]

[donttripwire.livejournal.com]

[He's silent for a minute or two, eyes trailing over Pain in careful consideration. There are too many questions to go over now, he gets the feeling this offer will not stand for long. Action will be taken and by then it may be too late.]

...

[He crosses his arms and continues to think. Before long, he uncrosses them and and nods decisively.]

Right. We'll work with you. For now.

[His fingers curl into a fist and he sneers.]

But I want first crack at this 'other you'.

[bringsuffering.livejournal.com]

Well, it turns out that his lover can't stand torture at all. And the other me gets quite upset when finding the mangled bodies of those he loves.

[He smiles.]

Glad to hear it. I'll relay that to the Boss at once.

[He tilts his head.]

He patrols around here. You should also look for this man--

[and he hands him a picture of Alek.]

Hold him hostage, and the other me will come running.

[donttripwire.livejournal.com]

[He takes the picture and studies it carefully.]

Really?

[And grins in a thin line of lips with a predatory curl.]

Excellent.

[bringsuffering.livejournal.com]

Please invite me when you capture him. I want to have a chance to finish what I started last time~

[He shivers in delight.]

My radio is 553.38. What should I contact you at if I find him first?

[donttripwire.livejournal.com]

You can do whatever you like with him, I just want the other you.

[The trembling intrigues him.]

163.75.

[bringsuffering.livejournal.com]

Deal.

[He nods.]

I'll keep in touch. Happy hunting, Viper.
