What: Sabo insulted punk, so now they're haivng a little music battle
When: 3 Feb
Where: Club VorTeQ
Warnings: Xanxus warnings apply, more as added.


It's time. The infamous little punk club is filled to the brim with curious fans. Ever since that little twit-fit, the club has been really playing up the upcoming battle between Sabo and Xanxus. There are posters and special drinks, themed for each musician.

The stage is set up for the two, with everything they need. The bar is active and the club is hopping. While this isn't a legitimate contest like the Song Contest, there's something more on the line here. The pride of punk music.

"Cecilia" and "Celia" - ota

[avidita]

[Fellow rescuers may have been alerted of this little thing over the network by Mammon, with the warning plainly given that the illusionist would be undercover. Anyone that asked for their appearance would be given a simple hint- "double pink".]

[What they mean is the pink hair a set of twins have- brown skinned women in their twenties dressed in matching outfits. They stick close together, within reaching distance even when one of them isn't holding onto the other or draped shamelessly across in some way. They can be found all throughout VorTeQ at any point in the night, whether lounging at the bar or on the dancefloor or bluntly ignoring the people who hit on them.]

[One of the twins is Mammon, of course. The other, if you'd believe it, is Fantasma the frog.]

[Frogs deserve to have a fun night too, after all.]

[Feel free to bother them, whether you know who they are or not.]

[rising_wing]

[Riku came not because he was sure Sora would come, because he doubts that a lot, but because he has a passing interest in punk music. So he's dressed in ripped jeans, and a black tank top with a rude saying on it.

He sees the twins, and it takes him a moment to tell it's Mammon and their... familiar? That's impressive. That's... something he can use.]

Buy you a drink?

[He waves for the bar tender, and lowers his voice to keep speaking]

That's very impressive. You put the other illusionist I know to shame.

[avidita]

[The two "girls" glance at each other before one nods to him.]

So long as you're paying.

[Mammon has no interest in spending any of the money they've managed to accumulate, even if they know it will only be useful so long as they're on this world. At the compliment, they flip a wave of pink hair.]

I should. I'm the best illusionist in the world, and I wouldn't doubt many others.

[Modesty, what's that even]

[rising_wing]

[Something that Riku isn't familiar with either.]

I did offer, didn't I?

[He orders three drinks. Beers because he has no experience with drinking, and also because it's cheap and he doesn't have much money.]

So, I was thinking, between your illusions and my ability to open anything, we could cause some financial damage to Pride and Virgo.

[avidita]

[Frogs probably shouldn't be given beers, illusioned or not, actual real frogs or not. Mammon's fucks about that are notably absent, however. They're more focused in on the idea Riku is proposing.]

Mmm. Do you have a particular idea about how to do that?

[rising_wing]

[Riku tries to grimace at the taste of beer, it would go against the cool guy image he's trying to maintain]

Rob a bank.

[avidita]

[Well. They're not particularly opposed...]

And how will that affect our targets?

[rising_wing]

Annoy them, make them agitated. And when they're agitatated they might get reckless.

[avidita]

Or they might just search for the troublemakers... Which could also be useful, depending on how its used.

[A sip of their beer. No care that it's cheap, because, hey, they're still not paying for it.]

Something to be researched into, at any rate.

[rising_wing]

I definitely think it's something to look into.

Between the two of us, we can get into anything.

[avidita]

It could help compensate my time being stuck on this planet not adding anything to my paycheck...

So, believe me, I'm certainly interested.

[rising_wing]

[He smirks, pleased with this development]

We should meet up later and talk about it. Say next week?

[avidita]

I'll come to your place for dinner again.

[Usagi will probably be pleased at that development, anyway.]

[rising_wing]

[Riku makes a mental note to set another plate. He's the cook of the house.]

We can talk afterwards. The girls might object to this.

[avidita]

Then don't tell them.

[...What is that not acceptable or something]

[rising_wing]

[Not really]

Wasn't planning on it.

[avidita]

The things will work out fine on that front.

Researching what banks they use will take a bit more work. [Sigh.] If we had someone good with computers...

[rising_wing]

Maybe one of our companions does. Any one from your world good with computers?

I'm decent. I can use them, but probably not in the way we'd need.

[avidita]

Yes, but he's also a nuisance and full of himself, so you'd have to decide how much he's worth it.

[rising_wing]

Only ones I know from your world is Reborn and Fon.

[Both of whom he likes, so if it's either of them, he's all for it.]

[avidita]

[A small disgusted noise, and for that, they take a drink.]

Neither of those idiots, no. The one I'm thinking of is a scientist. You're looking at more hands on people- neither useful for what we're thinking of.

[Unless you wanted to brute force a door, anyway.]

[rising_wing]

[Riku can't help but snort a little at that]

Did he join us on the mission?

[avidita]

No, or else you'd know him. Still, he can be useful... Perhaps he'll be picked up when reinforcements are looked for.

[rising_wing]

Maybe. Let's hope he comes. If not it might be just you and me.

[avidita]

Tch. I swear, if it weren't for my paycheck... [Mammon shakes their head.] We'll deal with it when it comes to that.
