Mistral

Neopolitan sits upon a fancy mahogany chair watching the screen in front of her. She holds an emotionless mask as she watches Team RWBY facing off against some other team. Team SQPN if she recalls. It was odd seeing Little Red as Roman had called her once. Neo wondered if she would've encountered the girl if things had gone as originally planned. Roman had told her about that night during a Dust robbery at From Dust Till Dawn, but Neo hadn't seen the girls skill with a scythe till now. Neo was certain that if things had gone differently, then it would be Little Red that she would be seeking vengeance against. Neo frowns at the thought.

No. She decided. It would definitely have been Cinder or the one pulling Cinders leash. Well, rather pulled. In any case Neo watched the fight with interest. She has nothing against Little Red nor does she expect that she ever will. Not in this lifetime anyway. The same however could not be said about Adam Taurus. No. That man would pay. Neo hadn't fully decided what she would do to the man when she finally went after him, but right now she couldn't help but feel that simply killing him wouldn't be enough. Indeed. He needed to be torn apart. Piece by piece until there's nothing left.

Neo looked to the bowler hat resting on the table next to the screen holding back tears as she scowls. She then takes a breath before letting out a light silent sob. She couldn't help but be grateful that Mercury was keeping people out of her new room. She still wasn't sure why Mercury truly cared so much. Why he hadn't abandoned her. Though she couldn't help but think it had to do with something Roman had said to the kid. Who knows.

Neo calms herself wiping away tears and taking a breath. It would turn out to be good timing too as someone knocks on the door. Mercury most likely. Neo looks to her left and rings a small desk bell. With that the door opens revealing Mercury as he walks in stepping to the side. Behind him was Lil' Miss. A 40 something year old woman with short blond hair kept in a bob and lavender colored eyes. Her light skin was covered in black and blue marks mixed with some still healing cuts. Her elegant and complex white and purple dress had been mostly unscathed though that was mostly because Neo had no intention of killing the woman. Yet. She had considered it after what happened a few years ago.

Lil' Miss approaches Neo with a limp a scared expression on her face. "You wanted to see me?" She says.

Neo smirks. She found it amusing seeing the once so powerful crime boss reduced to practically kneeling to her. Ever since that Freya gave her those abilities Neo had struggled to learn how to use them, but she had noticed that her semblance was getting stronger, much faster. Neo tapped her finger on the desk in contemplation before smiling. Soon a second Neo  manifested next to her before walking up to Lil' Miss. The second Neo then walked around Lil' Miss studying the woman. Before shattering like glass. Neo snapped her finger and a replica of Lil' Miss Malachite's daughters appeared. Melanie and Miltades Malachite. One dressed in a red dress while the other was in white. The Melanie picked up a piece of paper before walking it over to Lil' Miss. Oh how fun it was to see Lil' Miss Malachite's expression.

When Lil' Miss took the paper, she read it over before looking up to Neo hastily. Neo leaned forward waiting for Lil' Miss to respond. Lil' Miss seemed to realize that and bit her lip remembering what happened the day Neo showed up to take her organization from her. She hadn't expected Neo to succeed so easily. Nor did she expect that her own Spiders would be too afraid to challenge Neo. Not that she blamed them. After all, now she herself was afraid of the girl.

"I'll..." Lil' Miss starts. "I'll do what I can."

Neo smirks leaning back satisfied. She shoo's them out and both Mercury and Lil' Miss left the room. Neo then returns to the fight being broadcasted from Amity Colosseum which currently resides in Atlas Floating next to the floating Kingdom.
