Meeting at Pagine Nebiosso (open to Lupo Famiglia)

[Silvanus East]

For most men, the work day was long and arduous, but for Silvanus E. East the work day was among the most enjoyable of all times. His mother had made him sole proprietor and owner of their family book store and library, Pagine Nebiosso, and thanks to that, Silvanus could read all day, occasionally disturbed by the one or two frequentors whose patronage his livelihood depended upon. But Pagine Nebiosso served a second purpose besides Silvanus's livelihood; it was the meeting place of the Lupo Famiglia.

Closing up shop for the day, Silvanus gazed out the window and out into the distance. The building was an imposing three floors with stark-white ionic columns standing on the patio. Set upon a hill and looking straight down the main shopping street, it was in an excellent place and got many of the best views, but the rising moon was certainly Silvanus's favorite. He began to wipe the windows and close the blinds. He would have to go outside and close the shutters for the evening, but it wasn't a problem since it was a normal routine.

He finished the window washing and taped a sign to the front door, a thick and heavy wooden door (a good door for a library in Silvanus's opinion), that said "Closed early. Not a secret meeting being held tonight." People would think he's joking, that he's just eccentric or that's just how librarians are: odd. He knew this, and that was the precise reason for his being so obvious.

"Hope they don't make me wait."

As was usual for her, Hakkyou had snuck out of the house as soon as there was enough darkness to hide her form. One advantage to dark clothing was better hiding in shadows; hence why Hakkyou’s wardrobe was almost completely black despite her father’s continued comments about red matching her eyes. She really didn’t give a shit. But unlike most nights, where she just wandered around and caused the odd bit of trouble now and then, tonight she actually had a set destination and a purpose. The first Lupo Famiglia meeting she was to attend was tonight. Without a question, she was nervous. So far the only one she had met from the Famiglia was Kakeru. She needed to remember to keep calm, lest her nerves cause her to be too hostile and she screws up. The night air helped to soothe her just a bit, the atmosphere and darkness being very familiar to her. At 17 she’d been sneaking out of the house at night for a solid four years, and so far her father had not shown any sign of knowing. She wouldn’t have been surprised if he did and just didn’t say anything. His way of parenting was odd to say the least, but it was all she knew aside from what she saw on TV now and then. Her thoughts were interrupted when the building the meeting was set at came into view. She’d passed by the large bookstore many times before, but never really bothered to go inside. She glanced around to make sure no one was in the immediate area before walking up to the door. The sign taped to the wooden structure made her cringe and mentally facepalm. Can you be any more obvious? she thought exasperatedly. Humor wasn’t a strong suit of her personality, jokes usually going straight over her head and those that didn’t just not seeming funny to her. Her nerves started to come back with a vengeance then, as she pondered what to do. Do I just walk in? Or should I knock and wait for an answer? If anyone were to walk up at that moment all they’d see would be a girl looking confused and nervous, as if she wanted to go in and buy a book but didn’t know what else to do with the store being closed.

[luigi virotelli]

Luigi was being his normal self, scaling walls while hanging limply from the scarf that carried him. He was headed for a simple place, a bookstore, all for a meeting of some sort. Who would be there exactly? Well, for one it would be the members of the Lupo Famiglia, which, amazingly, included himself.

Dressed in his usual attire of what one would consider 'hitman's dress', his black and blue striped suit form fit to his body matched his unique appearance, his knife tucked safely within his suit pocket. Of course, as his mind reeled with the ideas that it kept, both of new food creations and other inventions of his, he noticed someone, odd, standing before the door he was heading for. Stopping above her, he wrote out a note on a scrap of paper he carried in his pocket.

'Dear Madam,

It has come to my attention that one such as yourself is befitting of a stalker, as such I shall assume that role. Your hair is befitting of the most beautiful of all women, and your form that to be desired by all. It is now my mission to make you my own, as I shall introduce myself at a later time. Do take care, and know that someone is always watching out for you.

Signed, The Cloudy Stalker.'

Folding the letter up, he held it in front of himself as he drew his dagger. Smiling, he made the motion of throwing the dagger at the piece of paper, which was lined up to go through the center, and imbed in the wall in front of the female, as he clambored up the side of the building and down the other side. His next move, would be to walk around the building from the opposite direction it was thrown, allowing him to not be a suspect for the letter.

As he approached, his face would remain placid and emotionless, as he simply walked up to the door.

"Waiting for someone?"

Naturally this didn’t help her nerves at all, but her brain couldn’t process what just happened quite fast enough so she just stared in shock at the knife. Instead of showing any side of distress, aside from freezing to the spot, Hakkyou opted to just remain calm and still. In her calmer state she noticed the note pinned to the wall. Carefully, she removed the knife and read through the note. What is this? A love note? And who the hell would call themselves “The Cloudy Stalker”? As odd as the note was, she would worry about it more later. Not like this was the first time some crazy moron tried stalker, though the last time it was just some stupid gang member that was next on her list to take down. She hoped this one would just drift off and leave her alone without her having to beat someone down. She was also hoping Kakeru would show up soon so she didn’t have to stand out here on the stoop anymore. She crumbled the note up before stashing it in her coat pocket, then prepared to just head inside once more. Unfortunately another disruption kept her from entering the building. A strange looking man wearing a striped suit approached her, his face emotionless. “Waiting for someone?” This guy made her more nervous than before, but she wasn’t sure why. She shifted a bit uncomfortably, nervousness starting to get to her again. She wasn’t even sure why he made her feel so uncomfortable, but he did. “Um, yeah…you could say that.” She tried to avoid eye contact as she replied, not wanting to blow her cover. Where the hell is Kakeru? This guy’s giving me the creeps. [/classy][classy=haooc]WORD COUNT 311 ( TAGS All the Lupo ) NOTES I am sooo sorry this post took so long.

[/classy][classy=KDtextbg][classy=KDooc] Didn't count --- ( Lupo Elementi --- ) A'igh't, let's get this train rollin'. --- [/classy][classy=KDtext] A slight breeze, accompanied by the sound of a howl. Then, a much different sound. A small explosion, then the wisp of a knife-like object whizzing past Luigi's head, exploding behind him. Looking up to the source, Kakeru sat atop the roof of the building, a few more knives in his right hand. ”Now now, Lui. Not nice to sneak up on people, especially a lone lady. People might get the wrong idea, catch me? We're technically criminals, but we're not classless thugs. Keep it in mind.” Turning to directly face the two of them, he shoved off of the roof, doing a flip midair, before landing about two or three feet away form Hakkyou. Turning around to face the door, he halted, before speaking. ”There'll be a few more coming a bit later. One's probably just running late for some reason or another, because I told him to meet me here half an hour ago. Anyway, let's go in.” Walking up to the door, Kakeru knocked three times, before reciting a phrase he'd read in a book. ”I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.” It wasn't the “secret knock” that Silvanus had given him, but to be honest, Kakeru had forgotten it entirely, never much being one for knocks and the like.

[Argenteo Musica]

The sound of a violin would reach the ears of the three and possible the one in the building as well. If they looked around behind them they would see a man dressed in an impeccable black suit with a white frilled shirt. He held in his hand a silver violin which was the source of the music. As he came closer he focused and the violin returned to its box. He bowed to them and then spoke in a slightly musical tone.

"Good evening compadre." he said before walking up to the door and speaking the password he had been given. However, in his case it was an intricate whistle tune. He chuckled slightly as he noticed the note on the door. That was so typical of Silvanus. The reason his password was a whistle was his own request. He liked the harmony of music and was skilled at all forms, though particularly the violin and piano. "Do not allow yourselves to become distressed my friends. Discord is unsightly."
