[[There already is a second-in-charge. So I saw no reason in answering the question :/ Setting is in the Plot, Detty c: I'll send out the rMails now. If your characters are starting out as humans, have them knock the door to the mansion/asylum. Members will answer, but not in-trainings. ]]

 Lucretia sat down on a plush sofa at the first floor of the mansion. "A drink, miss?" A pa-ssing butler asked. Lucretia shook her head. "No thank you." She murmured. She sighed, waiting for the room to empty. As the last servant walked out, she silently walked over to both doors and slammed them shut, locking the door. As the last lock clicked shut, pale, translucent wings rose out from her back. They fluttered slightly, delicately. Lucretia sighed pleasantly this time, as she touched a pillar. A lush green vine slowly wrapped around the pillar, purple flowers sprouting from the vine. Lucretia watched as the vine spread from the first pillar to all of them, covering the room with a vibrant forest-like smell.

Akira tried to open the door to the main room in the first floor, but it wouldn't budge. "Miss Valone is busy in there, Akira." A servant said. Akira shook his head. "Again?" He muttered. "You may go." He said impatiently to the servant, who scurried off. Making sure the coast was clear, Akira slowly transformed, growing smaller, smaller, smaller. His skin slowly turned from the regular peachy color to a scaly, jet black. His body looked compressed, turning into a lithe black mamba. Akira quickly slithered underneath the door to see Lucretia standing in the room, her fairy wings out and fluttering, and the room filled with plants. Lucretia looked over to see Akira. "Oh, I suppose you wanted to alert me it's breakfast time, right?" She asked. Akira rose his head and nodded. Lucretia rolled her eyes. "You could've just called." She muttered. Akira opened his jaw and made a hiss of laughter.

Maya stood at the roadside, sitting on a bench. She checked her watch. "When is Moralis coming?" She asked, clicking her tongue in impatience. She was eager to see the new mansion that would've been her new home, but Moralis had to go to a different place. They had promised to meet here today, though she arrived early, out of excitement.

---

Tori slammed her hand down onto the already broken clock, who let out a feeble 'ding'. She sighed, yawning and scratching her head. "Good morning, Eos." She murmured through closed eyes. She could feel the body heat of her kitten radiating from her side. He let out a little mew of greeting, curling up beside Tori. She giggled and got up slowly, picking out clothes and opening a weak wooden door to reveal the bathroom. "They really should clean this place up." Tori muttered as she brushed her teeth. She quickly changed and picked up Eos, racing out of the Asylum.

Levi was already up and at the dining room, examining the white fluid. He heard the thundering of steps. "Tori?" He asked, seeing a rush of brown hair. She automatically stopped. "Are you going out again?" He asked irritably. Tori nodded and grinned. "It'll be a quick one, Levi." She replied. Levi shook his head. "Fine. Ten minutes. No more." He said gruffly. "And get some cat food for Eos. We won't be stocking that." Tori rolled her eyes. "Yes, boss." She said sarcastically, running out of the Asylum before Levi had a chance to reply. 

The hallway was silent, though only moments before Akira had pa-ssed through. It was clearly morning, for bright golden light flowed through the large stained gl*censored* window, depicting an image of a large golden rose. The image was so peaceful, serene, that it seemed as if nothing could bother it.

And then, a small creak heralded the opening of a large oak door set in the end of the hall. It opened only slightly, but it was enough to see a pair of bright green eyes peeking out from the doorway. They blinked once, taking in the scene, and then the door opened further.

Slipping out of the door Wynter paused only to straighten her blue-green shirt before padding down the hall as quickly as she dared. Brushing her white hair behind her pointed ears nervously as she pa-ssed the room that Akira and Lucretia stood in, Wynter rushed past it using her innate ability to keep silent.

[She’s like, really wary of Akira and Lucretia]

"Maya." Moralis snuck up behind the young lady and breathed her name into the pale ear that was attached a head. "How are you?" He stepped in front of her in a tight bear hug and then released to stare at his best friend. The boy rubbed his eyes lightly and then the light fell across his face, showing he had dark rings under his eyes. Rubbing them again, he at down on a large rock and put his head in his hands for a few moments, before lifting them up again. "Sorry, I didn't have a very good sleep last night." He mumbled, running his hands through his thick blonde hair...

------------------------------------------------------------------------

((How should I bring in the other two.))

Sunni walked through the dark streets as her eyes flickered around nurvously. She didn't have anywhere to go...Not tonight at least. The younger girl stopped and looked around trying to use the dim light above her to help see. She closed her eyes and let out a small sigh as the ice cold air froze against her cheeks and her nose turned a bright red color. She narrowed her eyes and stared up at the sky looking up at the moon. It was a cold and clear night, you could barely see a cloud in the sky. Her eyes glanced around nervously as she searched for any sign of safety.

((Ugh, sorry it is so short...I'll edit it with more later.))

[[Ugh, sorry if I don't reply. Res is being terrible for me now, taking forever to load, and I'm sorry if my post comes out funny in any way. Feyth, I can't check the first page to see whether or not your characters are starting off as humans, since my internet hates me. So if your characters are human, perhaps start them off walking toward the mansion/the Asylum. If they are already minions/followers, make them wake up, or be in a common place, such as the kitchen or the main room.]]

"What the?!" Maya squeaked as she jumped up when she heard Moralis' voice. "Moralis, you scared me." She complained, scratching her neck. "You always sleep late." Maya lectured, standing with both hands on her hips. "How many times did I say this? Don't complain to me if you were up all night, Moralis! All nighters are bad for you." Maya shook her head. "But yeah, I was up most of the time too last night." She admitted. "I guess I was excited to see my new home." She grinned.

Lucretia smiled and watched as Akira transformed back from being a snake to himself again. "Alright, let's go for breakfast." She said, walking towards the door and unlocking it. "What about your mini-forest in here, Lucretia?" She heard Akira ask. "Just leave it. It's prettier this way." She replied in a dismissive tone. When Lucretia opened the door, she saw Wynter pa-ss by. "Good morning, Wynter." Lucretia greeted her pleasantly. Akira waved a hand in greeting.

Nodding shyly the girl waved back at Akira, thought feeling foolish for doing so. "Hey Lucretia, Akira," she replied in a soft voice, peering into the room they had exited. "There's...a forest in there?" she asked in confusion, spotting a flash of green.

Shoving her hands into her pockets she sighed deeply. "Sorry," she apologized. "I got next to no sleep last night. There was...too much stuff to do."

What she meant was watching the meteor shower, but Lucretia and Akira knew her well enough to already realize what she had been doing. "They were wonderful," was all she said in way of explanation. 

[[Tld gotta go to bed now. G'night! ]]

Akira yawned again, rubbing his eyes with a hand. "I don't know what your talking about, Wynter." He mumbled lazily. "I was sound asleep all night, ever since 8 PM, I think!" He felt Lucretia elbow him in the ribs. "8? You were supposed to be working! Nobody sleeps that early!" She hissed. Akira rolled his eyes. "Sorrryyy..." He replied, temporarily forgetting that she was the leader of New Haven.

It had been another late night for Cyrus, although he didn't seem all that fatigued. His schedule was usually sporadic and ridiculous like that, so perhaps he'd just gotten so used to being tired that it didn't bother him any more. More likely, though, was that he was just a little too preoccupied thinking about the next experiments they had lined up. He couldn't bother with considering his physical health when he was wondering how the next person might react to the serum, what the next experiment might yeild.

"Levi~," He yawned, his deep red eyes fixing upon his second-in-command as he entered the dining hall. He was a little dismayed to see that there wasn't any breakfast yet, and he couldn't really smell any from the other room. He must've misjudged the time, but it didn't bother him all that much.
He leaned over the table, one hand supporting him on its surface.
"Morning," he chimed, his gaze following Levi's to the white fluid he was examining.

Desmond was in the kitchen, helping to prepare breakfast. He'd always been an early riser, so it was only natural to volunteer for kitchen duty whenever he needed to. He was a decent cook, besides. He'd gotten plenty of practice cooking for himself and Jeanne while they were growing up. He was whistling softly as he fiddled around with the dial on the oven, perhaps a remnant of his hybridization with a bird. Then again.. hawks weren't particularly musical. And the change hadn't gotten rid of his need to wear gl*censored*es while in human form- much to his initial dismay.

----

Jeanne was still snuggled up in bed, wrapped in a plethora of heavy blankets. Her pajamas hung loosely from her body, revealing a small band of skin on her lower back. Her eyes were closed gently, giving her entire countenance a delicate look to it. She'd promised herself that she'd get up five minutes after she'd turned off her alarm- just enough time to stretch and adjust her eyes to the light- but she'd already fallen asleep again in the calm of morning.

"Mmmhmm?" Wynter hummd, lifting an eyebrow at Akira. "I think Luc has a point there." Crossing her arms she gave the boy a smirk. "All work and no play is an adult's life," she said in a cheerful tone. "And I consider astronomy my work. Poor Akira stuck doing all the hard stuff."

Her voice had a joyful cast to it that took the edge of her remarks, and the playful grin that was replacing the smirk on helped. 

Scratching her ear nonchalantly she ran one white finger over the small stud that pierced her ear. Made out of peridot and roughly cut, it shone like a sparkling green star. 

Letting her gaze drift down to her shirt she noticed a fraying hem near her shoulder. “Crap,” she muttered unhappily, letting her hand drift down to the threads. Touching them gently a flash of gold light and the threads wriggled gently, as if they lived and breathed. Another touch and they began weaving themselves together, making the hem look as good as new.

Levi set the fluid down when he saw Cyrus. "Lo." He greeted Cyrus gruffly. He could see the dismay in Cyrus' eyes when he looked over at the kitchen [hope I was right x.x]. "If you're hungry, I could make breakfast." He said. "But we're almost out of food. Need to restock." Just then, he heard the door open and then slam shut.

---

Tori burst through the door, bouncing all over Levi. "Levi, Levi!" She sang, hopping up and down. Levi jammed his hand to his ears. "Shut up, Tori!" He groaned. Tori stopped bouncing. "Well, I wanted to say, I saw one of those lucky draw things in the grocery shop, so I entered!" She triumphantly drew a ticket from her pocket. Levi took it from her and examined it. "Tori... the grand prize is a free car." Levi mumbled. "I know, I know!" Tori nodded and nodded. "Why would we need a car?" He asked irritably. Tori tilted her head to one side. "If you don't like the car, there are other prizes to be won." She said, taking the ticket back. "Like... a free toaster!" She grinned. Levi smacked his forehead. "We don't need that either. We already have one." He said. "It barely works." Tori argued. "There's also another runner-up prize, a shopping bag full of free groceries." She made a face. Levi snapped his fingers. "That's what we need, Tori!" His eyes were brightening. "Oh... Good for us. Provided we win it." She smirked.

---

Akira rolled his eyes. "I'm more of a cook, y'know." He replied, mimicking flipping a pancake on a frying pan. "But the cooks won't let me touch the pantry..." Akira's arm flopped to his side. "Oh yes, are we going to breakfast or not?" He asked. "I'm starving!" Just then, Akira felt his belly rumble, and he was sure the other girls heard it too. "What?" He defended himself. "A man... needs good food!" He laughed. Lucretia rolled her eyes, but let out a good-natured chuckle. 

(( x3 He was totally dismayed, spot on. ))

Cyrus wore a lop-sided smile as Tori bothered poor Levi, apparently finding it kind of funny.
"Levi, you don't mean to tell me we've run out of cash for the week, do you? If it's just a matter of going to pick up groceries, even I can do that.." He offered, really hoping that they weren't flat broke. Funding usually wasn't such a challenge for them. There were just tons of independent donors just dying to put money into a facility testing out a miracle potion. But as of late, some of those funds had been syphoned off to New Haven, as they were practically their only competitor. They couldn't run off of contests, that was for sure.

[[Yey, Tld was right for once XD ]]

"We're not low on money, Cyrus. Just low on food for now. Someone needs to go grocery shopping." Levi replied. "I can turn into a wolf and scare off the customers while you two get stuff from the store." Tori offered cheerfully. Levi slapped his forehead again. "Tori, how many times have we told you? No. Scaring. People." Tori stuck out her tongue. "Only 'cos your so stingy." She retorted. Eos squirmed in Tori's arms, mewing. "Why don't you just get one of your ghostly demon guys to work? It'll earn us some extra money." Tori suggested. Levi considered this. "Uh-huh. And if they hate me for doing so, the demons could just turn on me." He replied sarcastically.
