Delivering the Goods )(Jason King)(

[chihiro]

[ooc: Closed, kthnx]

After her meeting with Keith, the coded information and the brimstone hidden safely in her backpack, Chihiro made her way to Jason King's classroom. It felt like she was going in circles, her entire mission strating with King and going back to him, who she assumed would report to Valekin himself. It was all so confusing for something that was supposed to be cut and dry.

She opened the door and peered in side. "Mr. King?"

[hualord]

A familiar voice called his name. He was sitting at his desk, staring out the window, across the campus at the city. A total mess, papers were all over his desk, red marks were all over theirs. One of Chi's papers were among them, how ironic. It probably had a big fat X scrawled on it, with sentences of notes that looked like they had been scrawled while he as having a seizure.

"Come in. Come in. Did you succeed?"

He asked, looking in her general direction just once before returning to the window. Why was he staring out there so damn intently, and why was he tapping both ends of the red pen on the desk. The ink end putting little dots on some Freshman's paper. It was crap, one should hear the things freshmen write.

'I went ovur my friend john's house and we played xbox until the sun came up again. His mom is a real female dog, if u know what I mean. I had fun, and we didn't sleep at all. Because that would have been gay. I have an aunt that's gay thow, so I have nothing against gay people, just that they're so gay. lol!'

You have no idea how badly he wanted to show this work to the kid's mother.

I really... want a slice of pizza...

[chihiro]

'Come in, come in...did you succeed?'

Of course he was expecting her now. He had expected a delivery the first time, but he hadn't known it was her working for Valekin. Now that he knew, it would be stupid to think that he didn't know why she'd come to see him. She walked in teh door, closing it behind her softly like she had the first time, and swinging her one strapped bag to the front and unzipping it as she approached.

"Yes, I got the papers and destroyed the hiding place. Here they are."

Chi paused as she went to zip her back back up before reopening it and taking out the brimstone canister.

"Oh, I also bought this off of a graduate today, I thought it would be useful with the research."

She handed this to him as well, eyes grazing over the coded wording of the documents. She spoke up curiously.

"Do you know what it says?"

[hualord]

"Thanks."

He took the vials, and put them in a bag. These would be delivered to a laboratory to be analyzed, and possibly to extract a counter agent from them. Much like they do with snake's venom. These drugs are more lethal than snakes venom anyway, they deceive the user, and destroy the body. Much like any mind altering drug. Whoever made it, and then decided it'd be a good idea to use it on children, is sick.

"I will soon, I have the other half of the cypher. It'll be decoded in a day or two. Then they'll be stored in our safe house."

He flipped through the papers, looking at the faces of the students. Many of them he had seen through the halls, a few in his classes. He's caught a few of them with drugs, but nothing big. None of them were dealers. He noticed Aureus among them.

"You're boyfriend is among the users. I won't know what type of Brimstone he uses until I get it deciphered. I'm sure you've seen this image, you're inquisitive."

She'll probably be upset when I tell her whatever the projected effects are.

"Look, if you get upset over him, and this. You can talk to me. But do not go to Valekin, and ask for out."

He was entirely serious, his eyes were dire, and cold. He was concerned about his student, about a girl that was at the wrong place and the wrong time. A girl that got involved with the wrong people. A girl that got pulled in against her will, and now was part of something bigger than her.

"Don't ask for out, I beg of you. If you think you know what he's capable of, you've only seen the scratched the film off the surface. Understand?"

I hope she listens to me, it'll be better if she does.

[chihiro]

Chi mouth dropped into a small 'o' as her eyes caught the 'mug shot' of Aureus among the papers. He was using Brimstone?? The same drug Chi was employed to irradicate? Well, this posed a problem. But unlike Mr. King thought, this shocking news didnt make her fall into hysterics. Her emotional core was too damaged by past events to harbor such shallow nonsense. She drew her mouth into a thin line, her eyes narrowing slightly and going dull.

"I am aware of what could happen should I try to back out. And I'm letting you know that I have no intention in doing so."

This other, colder side of Chihiro was the product of her past. It was completely different than her casual, easygoing exterior, and it was something that the normal students and people around her did not see. Determination, detachment, isolation. It was like she was drawing back into herself and letting a mechanical autopilot maintain her physical stance. She looked from the papers with Aures' face on it to Mr. King, waiting for further instruction.

[hualord]

"You're a full member, without proper introduction to the group, or to our training regimen. You're next task, is to go to this address, on this date. Then the subtask is, to survive."

He took out a piece of paper, tore it in half, and jotted down the address, the date, and the time on it. He was positive that she could find it all by herself, she was a big girl, and didn't need a chaperone. Hopefully.

He'll be at the same location, however, he won't be taking her there. That'd be suspicious and a little creepy. Why oh why would a teacher pick up a student at their home? Hmmmm? Pedophilia's supposed to remain inside the building at all times. Don't these teacher's know? Well, at least Winklewood follows the rules.

"That's really all, except to give you your pay, and be on your way."

Hey... that rhymed..

He reached into the desk drawer and pulled out an envelope. It had her number on it. Eighteen. He handed it to the girl, and would go to work deciphering the code when she had taken it.

[chihiro]

Chihiro took the piece of paper from him and read the address and time. "Your next task, is to go to this address, on this date. Then the subtask is, to survive." Well, of that wasn't dramatic, but Chihiro couldn't help but shiver slightly. Survive? Well, that was one thing she was planning on doing.

She also took the envelope from him, eyes glancing over the number on it. Eighteen. That was her. It was who she was slowly becoming. This other side of her, the darker, colder side, it thrived on this. The danger, the anonimity, the challenge. If should could survive this, she would be stronger. And that was her goal.

Seeing that Mr. King had gone to work on his decifering, Chi turned and left without another word. She had been given her assignment, and her payment, he had not further use for her. If there was anything Chihiro knew about working for Valekin, it was that nothing was sugar coated, there would be no 'I know you can do it's' or pats on the back for her accomplishment. There would only be disappointment and dire consequences should she fail.
