Taking over Dante's Desk

Who:Lady and Anyone else! (Open)
What: Gun Cleaning
When: Mid-Evening sometime
Where: Dante's Desk inside the Devil May Cry
Summery: Lady cleans her guns while Dante's not at his desk.

Dante was out doing something and she didn't really care what it was. She didn't keep track of the devil hunter and she wanted to use his desk anyway. She laid down a cloth to protect the beat up furniture and began to take apart her guns. She hadn't used them much since she arrived, but she needed to make sure that they were still usable if she needed to.

Plus if Dante got out of line, she could always use them against him. She smirked a little bit as she thought about her past with the demon hunter and how things had changed when she got here. This whole world was a rather different, but she didn't mind. She could use the break.

Hearing the door open, she glanced up for a second. "If you're looking for Dante, he's out."

Kyrie didn't really have any important business with Dante. Honestly her intentions were really just to get to know him a little more since he has grown to be an important person in Nero's life. She decided to stop by today with a big plate of cookies, figuring Dante probably wouldn't mind some sweets.

Quietly she pushed the door open and startled when she heard a woman's voice instead. "O-Oh! That's quite alright. I can wait for him to get back, or if it'll be long just leave something here?"

"That's fine. I'll make sure he gets them," she said with a small smile. Even the tough as nails Lady could be friendly sometimes.

"I'm not sure if we've met before. I'm Lady, an old friend of Dante's." She wasn't the kind of person to give handshakes, or she would, but her hands were also full of gun parts.

She lowered her head with a warm smile, bowing in a polite greeting. So this was the Lady she heard about. She hadn't heard a lot, but she remembered Dante mentioning her a few times.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Miss Lady. My name is Kyrie," she said softly. She slowly approached her, setting her plate of cookies down near her on the desk.

"Just Lady is fine. Anything else just sounds weird," she said, moving things around a bit so that the cookies would be safe.

"You're a friend of that kid, Nero, right?" she had to make sure the information that she was remembering was correct.

She nods her head with a flustered look growing on her face. She shouldn't be surprised that Dante mentioned Nero and herself to Lady.

"Yes, me and Nero have known each other since we were about the same height as your knees." she laughs a little.

She liked keeping track of different people and Nero looked too similar to Dante to be a coincidence. She didn't remark about it, but she was going to be keeping an eye on him and his friend. Though Kyrie looked as human as she was.

"It's good to have friends in strange places," she said with a small nod. "At least you and Nero grew up together."

It was better than her first meeting with Dante.

"I was actually thinking the same thing. It's such a relief to have come with Nero here. I didn't even have a chance to be lonely. And finding... more people like Dante and now you? It might sound a little childish and perhaps even a little optimistic, but I am grateful for all these little things."

She made a mental note to learn a little more about Lady as well. She was a friend of Dante's and the two of them seemed close. In her mind it meant she was a part of this... strange but interesting family as well.

"Hmm..." A voice came from the back of a shop. A woman stepped forward from behind a doorway, leaning on it. She was dressed in black with stark white hair. She had a knife in her hand, finger resting along the side of the blade.

"I would assume you are the one Dante has been conversing with behind my back." She twirled the knife expertly through her fingers. "While I normally would not object to this state of affairs, I am rather angry he did not bother to introduce me himself."

Her eyes were glowing red as she stared Lady down, unsettling waves of distortion rippling off of her hands and bleeding the color from the world around them. "Mayhaps you would like to explain what you are doing here though?"

[Dante had been called out to deal with a drunken fist fight over untrimmed hedges, but upon returning home that was a heck of a sight and greeting.]

Oh gee, I suppose I'll have to come back later.

[He takes off his jacket and hangs it up, working on the holsters underneath it holding Ebony and Ivory.]

The fuck are you doing at my desk?

It was a very interesting family that they had going on here. She wouldn't admit it, but she liked it. "Dante's been here the longest. I was here for a while before, but I barely remember that time."

"At least we seem to be mostly safe while we're here. Dante's got bad enough luck and the last thing that we need is massive demon attacks," she said. At least there were people here who could handle a massive demon attack.

"Maintenance," she said her voice dripping sarcasm. She glanced over at the new woman, noting the power that she seemed to be giving off, but unafraid.

"I'm almost done," she was already putting things back together, but it would take her a few minutes to be done and clean up her mess. "As for introductions, you'll have to take that up with Dante."

"I've known him since he started this shop," she continued. She wasn't going to get into the details of when they first met. That was a long story and not one that she wanted to get into with a woman that she barely knew.

"If you have a problem, take it up with him."

Maintenance.

[She's almost done as he takes off his coat.]

I'm nearly done. Kyrie brought you a gift.

[She motions with a mostly put together gun to the cookies on a clear corner of his desk. One or two might be missing.]

She nods her head with a sad smile. She knows Nero and probably Dante feel a little strange not having to fight monsters all the time, but she couldn't be more grateful for the chance that Nero had to breathe and experience life. She's sure that lady must be a little happy too.

" If anything bad does happen I know we will be in good hands with all of you around. You guys are probably the toughest people I know."

I can see that much, but why my desk!? I have a table over there.

[He motions to the coffee table and couch in the corner of the office as he places Ebony and Ivory on the desk where the plate of cookies once was as he sulks off to the couch.]

Sakuya narrowed her eyes some at the sarcasm. "The fact you have known him for so long does not mean that you can simply occupy his desk while you clean your weapons. There is a coffee table for that."

She shifted a little, standing straighter. More ready. "Of course, your vagueness does suggest you are either lying to me or speaking down to me. I intend to take it up with him, but he is currently out. So I only have you to speak to."

Lady could hear Sakuya's heels as she walked forward, stopping several paces behind Lady. She wasn't really hovering but lady could feel the waves of energy against her back. The maid's aura was extremely uncomfortable, raising goose bumps and seeping down into her bones.

"There are a great number of dangerous things in this shop. So until I know who you are I am going to have to ask you to leave."

"You should learn how to defend yourself. Just in case. You won't be around Nero or Dante or me all the time. I'm not saying you need to learn to use a gun, just be able to get away from things until help can arrive," she said as she began to put everything back together.

She could tell that Kyrie wasn't a fighter, but it wouldn't hurt for her to know how to get away from people and demons if the need arised.

She nods her head, her hands fidgeting with the cloth of her dress. She knew it would be beneficial for her even if the thought of it still made her nervous. If she could get herself away or at least some distance on anything bad, it'd give others time to swoop in or something like that.

"Nero and I actually had a discussion like this. He thinks he would go too easy on me, and he had thoughts that Dante might as well. There was someone he thought might be a good match to help, but I think this world took her away..."

Lady was good with uncomfortable and didn't stop what she was doing. She knew what lurked in the shop and she had helped him get a few pieces as well.

"I am one of those dangerous things," she stated simply. "And you have no authority to ask me to leave. I know what's here, how they were acquired and what they can do. I worked with Dante to set this place up after it was destroyed the first time."

She wasn't about to leave because some random woman bleeding power told her. She was far too stubborn to do so.

Because I wanted to.

[She smirked at Dante as she put the final gun back together and then began cleaning up her mess.]

Sakuya was getting fed up with this woman but... A deep breath. Keep it together... The hostility was palpable.

"True or not, I am not familiar with you. And as one of Dante's deputies it is my duty to maintain some semblance of order." If not for the fact she was a deputy she would have attacked already.

The uncomfortable aura didn't lessen in the slightest. "Should Dante corroborate your story you will see no further trouble from me. For now I must ask you once more to leave. I will not ask again and I will make you if I must."

"I'm as human as they come. I can help you out," she said. She normally didn't make offers like this, but she liked the singer. She was far too nice to be hanging out with a group like this.

They were all rather crude and rough around the edges, but she would do what she could to help her out. "We can organize something with Dante and Nero as well."

"Deputy or not, I have a right to be here. You can ask Dante to take away the key I have if he doesn't want me here. Until I hear it from him then I will be finishing what I started," Lady was going to be as stubborn as she could. She had little respect for most authority figures, but she could be polite...if she wanted to. Sarcasm was a default setting for her.

Money was another way to get her respect, but she wasn't here for a job. She wanted to clean her guns and relax. Her two-tone eyes were kept on her work, not making a move to get up or leave.

Her eyes widen just a little, surprised by the offer. It's not that she thought ill of Lady in any way, but she wasn't expecting such kindness when this was technically their first meeting.

"I would really... greatly appreciate this, i-if Nero agrees as well!"

[He sighs, placing the cookies on the coffee table and swipes a couple as he flops onto the couch.]

That sums up a lot of our relationship y'know? Just you doing shit with my stuff just because you wanted to.

[He complains but he doesn't sound all that perturbed.]
