The Last Roleplay pt 6

M:   Belarus jumped up when Iremacht spoke, she was reaching into her purse for her pepper spray until the criminal entity spoke about Zalia. Normally a mother would be scared shitless if an international crimelord asked about her child, unfortunately for Belarus, this was something she expected of Zalia.

She first took a moment to calm the people in the cafe, then she sat down and groaned into her hands.

"I have no jurisdiction over her, Iremacht," she said, irritation in her voice, she's not my entity, she's not anyone's entity, if she's causing problems for you there is nothing I can do about it. Yes, you can argue that I'm her mother, but she doesn't listen to me or MA, considering your relationship with your own parents, I'm sure you understand that my hands are tied."

"Five more minutes," Prudoria said, waving his one good wing like he was sawing hang on.

He watched the sun for a little longer until the colors became less vibrant, only then did he go with TU. He was a bit nervous about asking Schwitzy anything, she scared him so much.

"Do we have to," he whined, his eyes starting to fade into black, "I don't want to get stabbed, Schwitzy is so scary."

L:   "She's not going to stab us, but she might be cranky," TU said. "Not a morning person, yet she wakes up so fricking early. She'll be fine when she gets her coffee and chocolates."

 Schwitzy's section of the mansion was split into three very organized floors. The uppermost level was her bedroom, the second level her gymnasium and recreational area, and the third level was her animal collection. Luckily for them, they didn't run into her as they went into the lowest level.

There were many, many, many aquariums. The rarest fish, sea turtles, land turtles, crabs, oysters and crabs, reptiles, hamsters, mice (brown ones for the snakes, gruesomely, and white ones to play with in the lab maze), guinea pigs, and even an axolotl. Schwitzy had her own staff designated to take care of the aquarium, but the new rotation hadn't arrived yet so the level was essentially empty. "Not a lot of lions here," TU said. "But some of these fish are the rarest in the world. I think we have a lot of puffer fish here too. Great for poisons."

M:   Prudoria was slightly disappointed that there were no lions, but he was still fascinated by all the creatures, he would stop at every single tank to get a good look at them, he didn't tap on the glass because he knew from experience that the tapping was really loud underwater.

"They're all so colorful and cute," he said, "I remember the mice, the humans tested on them sometimes, but all these other creatures I've never seen before."

He stopped at another tank and tilted his head at the occupant, it was a large tarantula that was sitting on top of a little log hideout, Prudoria had never seen something with so many legs, he thought that was pretty cool.

"I like this one, it's so fuzzy and has so many legs," he chuckled, "what is it, can I hold it?"

L:   "True she doesn't answer to anyone," said Iremacht. "But I'm letting you know that she wants to offer me so-called help with taking down the facilities that created Adira. She clearly wants something out of this. Perhaps it is just her connection with Adira, but I doubt criminals operate for the sake of love and care alone ... So, not to alarm you or anything, I'm going to stir trouble in your country."

He held up his hand in case there was any protest. "I'm just going to hunt down a couple of Smoke Wolves since Zalia has her roots here. There might be innocents in the crossfire." Iremacht smiled sweetly and stood up. "Just wanted to warn you. Oh and if Zalia asks you why, tell her to get out of my way."
