Knightingale - Redoing

Headquarters

The clock struck at exactly 6:00 p.m. Handing the stuffed paper bag to his last costumer for the day he gave the little girl beside her father a little pat.

“We’re closing the shop now! Thank you and please come again”

“We sure will seeing how kind the staff is” giving another wave to the little girl who in return, waved back at him, he closed the large glass doors of the STUFT toy store. Once again, the very lively store earlier every morning turned into another dull one.

But he doesn’t mind at all as long as there’s something to keep him busy. Striding across the unlit and empty store he sat on one of its counters and picked his latest issue of Playboy Magazine. And like what he usually does after being the kind employee all kids know and love, he waited for the different groups to report for the day’s task. What the kids don’t know is that not all people stay the same after sundown and Ryan’s no different.  He’s not even a real toy store employee to begin with.

He’s just your average 25 year old unlicensed doctor and perverted STUFT head…that’s all.

All the other groups have consulted him already and surely, by that time, fighting the hollows in their own designated area. All that’s left is Knightingale before he can take a quick rest inside his quarters. They’re always late…he doesn’t expect more of them anymore. After more minutes of waiting, his transceiver made a hardly audible beep and vibrated at the side of his. Fixing his mike just at the right spot he pressed on the reply button.

*BZZT…*

"Hey, Ryan! We're here already!" Namiko’s voice rang through his ears with the same voice she always carry. She also had that same 0sexy voice when she first tried out for STUFT as far as Ryan can still remember. He can even still envision how graceful the 15 year old moved as she swayed her katana around.

People just don’t call him a pervert for nothing…

 "Excellent, now make sure you defeat them all. Not a single one should escape and all survivors must be evacuated, immediately."

"What's the total count of hollows?" his thoughts came back to earth upon hearing another voice. Knight…another arrogant person. He was the newest member of the group and the one who carries the cute but sadistic girl, Gale inside him that Ryan got a liking to. Knight and Gale are also his current test subjects due to their weird transformations. Really, no man just transforms into a girl…

"There are about… 15 of them."

"Only 15? Man, that's so boring! I was expecting more action today!"  Robin’s lively voice filled his ears. The spiky haired law breaker boasted slightly croaking in the middle of his sentence. He may be Namiko’s cast but they’re very different.  Even though without her he would still be dead, he usually answers her back making her go crazy with anger. He may seem careless and weak-willed outside but he’s a real jerk and manipulative man deep underneath.

Ryan wondered though. He still hasn’t heard of the other man in the group. Raven has always been the quiet one but he usually butts in as soon as Robin, or sometimes even Gale, makes stupid and cocky remarks. He’s Knight’s cast after all so it’s expected for him to be snarky even though they don’t get along pretty well. Well, Raven could be pretty cool if he’d just stop having his inner monologues.

"Ha-ha! Maybe it’s just not your day today. Anyways, I'll be leaving now." 

"Okay, bye Yannie!"
