*Word had been sent and so, Perri foudn herself once again in the humid swamp. She stopped at the usual place waiting for the messenger*

(She lives!)

Riko Nakamura (Oct 16, 2010 7:48:53 PM)
( I do!!!_

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 16, 2010 7:49:03 PM)
( We'll see how long it lasts. -grins- )

Riko Nakamura (Oct 16, 2010 7:51:52 PM)
*It would take just a few moments before a very pretty, slight Japanese girl would appear at the edge of the swamp. dressed in a pare of fitted blue jeans and knee high lace up bots, a black baby t and a simple blue jean jacket, a mirriad of earrings lining her ears, several rings and a jumble of braclets. More then slightly out of place in this swampy wetlands, but some how she seemed supprisingly comfortable. Stopping in front of Perri she would give a respectful ittle bow and a smile* good evening. I have been sent to guide you. My name is Riko.

Perri Santana (Oct 16, 2010 7:57:01 PM)
Riko, nice to meet you. And thanks for coming out. Shall we?

Riko Nakamura (Oct 16, 2010 7:59:58 PM)
*Her English was heavilly accented but very clear* Of course, if you are willing to please follow me? * turning she walked back the way she had come, makng sure that she took the same dry path. and going slow enought hat Perri could clearly see where the slender girl stepped. between the hem of the short shirt and the waist band of her jeans there where sines of exstnsive tattoo work. and as she moved Perri would see what looked like a small silver and gray snake looped half around the back of her neck, parially hidden by her hair, its head resting on her shoulder*

Perri Santana (Oct 16, 2010 8:03:04 PM)
*She kept close as they threaded their way deep into the swamp, going from dry patch to dry patch. She eyed the snake, not surprised.*

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 16, 2010 8:04:02 PM)
As they grew closer, they would find a small lake. From it's placid water, a large tree stump rose high over the surface, as if the tree had been snapped in half by a powerful storm. With Katrina as such recent history, that seemed very possible. Around the stump wound Shin's massive body, his pale white scales glowing softly in the moonlight that streamed through the natural clearing in the canopy. His golden eyes stared down at them expectantly as he gave a feint nod to Riko, the chains from his horns dancing and sparkling gold, before his large black pupils expanded to focus on Perri. He watched her quietly, the tips of his thick black forked tongue slipping past his lips as he tasted their combines scents in the air, drinking in their body heat.

Riko Nakamura (Oct 16, 2010 8:06:20 PM)
*She gave him a small smile, just a little turn up of her lips before she slipped around him, stepping away from the two as she moved to a point where she could watch but be compleatly unabtrusvie. stepping up on to a small downed stump on which she slowly sank down to have a seat one leg streatched out, the other pulled up to her chest, one arm wrapped around it, as her other lifted to allow the sliver and black ten inch snake slither down and around her wrist*

Perri Santana (Oct 16, 2010 8:08:45 PM)
Good evening Zaebos. Than you for seeing me on short notice.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 16, 2010 8:14:52 PM)
He bowed his head respectfully, though one would be a fool to have confused it for subservience. Almost as if to ensure that fact a massive crocodile, easily over twelve feet long, crawled up on the shore to rest it's belly in front of Riko, placing it between the mortal and the slayer. A not so subtle warning that the swamps were his domain, along with everything within them. Then his bowed head rose he spoke, his voice deep enough to shake the old tree stump and send tiny ripples across the surface of the lake away from it. "You have come to me, the time spent on the conversation is of little inconvenience. I have agreed to support your claim to the Infernal Throne, it is also prudent I stay informed on my investment. What brings you here, Lord Surya?" He placed subtle emphasis on the title, a gesture of his intent to honor his previous oaths.

Perri Santana (Oct 16, 2010 8:18:33 PM)
Two things. The first, to let you know that I have set one to find a good place to meet. And I insisted that any possibilities have water access. Wither close to the swamp or on a canal.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 16, 2010 8:21:04 PM)
A fine white brow arched curiously as he looked down on her, the coils of his body around the tree tunk seeming to loosen subconsciously as if pleasantly surprised by the declaration. He nodded slightly, causing the ivory horns to flash in the pale moonlight. "I approve. Though my visits will not be common enough to necessitate such accomidations."

Riko Nakamura (Oct 16, 2010 8:23:11 PM)
*Riko remained a quiet non entity, though she seemed compleatly unphased by the extreamly large reptile now basickly at her feet, the small snake wrapping down her wrist to coil towards her hand. Though she watched the two she said nothing, just listening.*

Perri Santana (Oct 16, 2010 8:25:56 PM)
Perhaps but, but I want it to be possible whenever you do. As to the other thing, I unexpectedly got to meet this Maksim last night. And he was in a rare mood.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 16, 2010 8:28:14 PM)
Streaks and splotches of crimson began to streak across his pale white scales, like fresh blood being sprayed on them from a gushing wound. His eyes narrowed slightly, the golden orbs glowing balefully. "Is he a problem?" He asked very simply, the finality of the question leaving little question to what the answer might imply.

Perri Santana (Oct 16, 2010 8:31:28 PM)
I suspect he may be. Swan asked him politely to state his business. Maksim seemed to want to dance about and said things could get unpleasant, then gave a less than veiled threat to a thrall and a mortal who belongs to one of the Scourges. As I said, he was not in anything like a decent mood. There was a bandage on his neck as well, and caleb noted the injury seemed serious. Maksim was polite enough to me but says that basically he thinks forming a court is a mistake, then made a comment about withdrawing his protection. I questioned that but got no really clear answer. Then he threatened to kill Swan if he came near him and took his leave.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 16, 2010 8:35:17 PM)
His body began to writhe about against the stump, the thick scales of his underbelly ripping away bark that fell down into the lake. Threatening the mortal wards of another had been against infernal law since the war, a law Zaebos honored to the letter. Punishment for such things were rarely pretty. "Then at your leisure we may visit him together. Perhaps he is a servant of the bound ones, perhaps he is just a fool. Either answer does little to prove him worthy of existance."

Riko Nakamura (Oct 16, 2010 8:35:55 PM)
*still very quiet, and very still, she watched quietly but said nothing, her eyes lowering to the delicate snake wrapped around her wrist.. though when Zaebos's anger grew, her eyes slowly lifted, and she went very still.*

Perri Santana (Oct 16, 2010 8:37:53 PM)
He did say that if I wanted to speak to him further, his door was open. My gut feeling is that he is not pleased to be of the first hosue abnd be passed over for a slayer. Or anyone that isn;t him. But really, everytime we've had to stick our necks out, where has he been? And Savannah may think he is all sorts of a gentleman, but what I saw last night was nothing like it

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 16, 2010 8:41:21 PM)
He bowed his head as his torso rose up from the stump. His body still writhed around it in constant motion, his skin and scales fading to black, the splattered pattern of crimson remaining bright and visible. Still when he looked down at her there was an eerie calm to his golden eyes, a potential energy like a snake soon to strike. "Then call to me when you are prepared for me to deal with him. We will go together and I will show you what it is to be supported by the House of Rabisu."

Perri Santana (Oct 16, 2010 8:44:06 PM)
*She bowed her head to him* Thank you. I can tell you now that Savannah has no intentions of joining the court but she has her own ideas and none can sway her. But I don't see it as a great loss, she is so rarely seen. Some of the newer ones are on board too. *She smiled now* And Maksim got to see that I don't scare or get shaken easily.

Riko Nakamura (Oct 16, 2010 8:45:29 PM)
*still silent she looked between the two, her leg sliding up beside her on the stump as she listened. Then lowered her eyes once more seemingly more occupied with the snake and the alagator *

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 16, 2010 8:46:30 PM)
"Savannah...", he repeated the name in a quiet hiss then shook his head, the snow white hair falling in curtains to frame his face. "I am not familiar. If she is an obstacle, however, you may call for me to deal with her as well. I will see that you are stable and the chaos subsides soon. There is no need to procrastinate."

Perri Santana (Oct 16, 2010 8:50:37 PM)
Word goes out tomorrow. After my litytle face off with Maks last ngiht I think it wise. Now, he strikes at a hopeful and well, my bad luck. Tomorrow, he strieks at the Tyrant adn that is another issue altogether

Riko Nakamura (Oct 16, 2010 8:52:11 PM)
( I need to log for a bit Rico would get Perri out of the swamp when Shinjo wished it =) bb in a bit)

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 16, 2010 8:54:13 PM)
The strange calculating intelligence behind those golden eyes worked through her words. When it seemed she didn't mean for an imediate and violent response to Maksim's activities he settled back down, his coiling movements slowed, now seeming simply more agitated than agressive. "Very well. Though I still believe an example should be made if you mean to show such behavior is not tolerated."

Perri Santana (Oct 16, 2010 8:55:15 PM)
I suspect it may be needed soon after the announcement. Then it will be a defense of position, not a strike at an innocent. See my reasoning?

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 16, 2010 8:58:00 PM)
"Those who speak threats aloud betray their guilt, despite their percieved actions. They either confess or boast without honor, neither earn tolerance." He settled down against the stump, resting one of his elbows against the wood. His scales began to fade to a softer shade and the markings of blood faded as well. "Though if you think this will help establish your rule and bring chaos to a closer end, so be it. I do not have to remind you the price of failure in this game you play."

Perri Santana (Oct 16, 2010 8:58:47 PM)
I know. And I'd like you close at hand for the next few days if possible.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 16, 2010 9:00:37 PM)
His eyes narrowed in response to that, a dangerous gleam tainting their golden glow. "I am not your servant nor your personal guard. I will strike if given target but do not view our arrangement as more than it is. Why?"

Perri Santana (Oct 16, 2010 9:03:20 PM)
Understood. Just in case. BUt if anyhting odd happens I will send word.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 16, 2010 9:06:01 PM)
"The hawk flies swift", he offered before settling down again against the old wood of the broken tree. The tip of his long slender tail fell down into the water of the lake, flicking slowly to disturb the surface of the water. In response, the large alligator returned to the murky depths he had surfaced from. "I must redirect the fish of east biloxy back into the city soon. I will see to that task for the next few nights, it will keep me in the rivers and tributaries that cut through the city."

Perri Santana (Oct 16, 2010 9:06:47 PM)
*Her smile was warm* Thank you. If there is anyhting I can do for you, just call.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 16, 2010 9:08:41 PM)
"Keep the others out of my territory and away from my children. If you manage that, I will be more than pleased." He then fell silent, glancing towards Riko who stood to lead Perri back through the swamp. The meeting was obviously at an end. On her return through Perri may noticed that the creatures of the bayou would bow their heads respectfully.

Perri Santana (Oct 16, 2010 9:12:48 PM)
I will make sure that is well known. *She bid him a good night and started back with Riko. The actions of the denizens of the swamp was not lost on her and she was smiling as she reached the car*

Perri Santana (Oct 16, 2010 9:12:52 PM)
(Cool, thanks!)

Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 16, 2010 9:13:16 PM)
( Thank you! Always a pleasure to RP ^_^ )

Perri Santana (Oct 16, 2010 9:13:25 PM)
