say my name and every color illuminates

[hejhej]

Who: Lisbeth, Nill, and Claire
When: Friday morning, 9/7
Where: Nill's new apartment on Factory Drive in Sector 4
Summary: Claire wants to meet with Nill to discuss including her in their operations. Will he meet the elusive wasp? Maybe. If Lisbeth feels like it.
Warnings: Cursing, discussing adult themes

[She's sitting in Nill's kitchen, itching for a cigarette, but she'd yet to ask if it was okay to do so in her apartment. Her phone was open as she looks at a new message to Claire. It contains Nill's address. She was still considering leading him there or talking with Nill and delivering the conversation to him. Did she want him to see her face or keep him in the dark?

Lisbeth hits send and the message goes through:]

303 Factory Drive
Apt #1, Sector 4

Let me know when you arrive. She has to bring you up herself.

[ Claire follows Nill's finger and goes to the fridge but makes a face at the contents. It's too early in the day for that!

He shuts the fridge door and leans back on it, tilting his head at Nill. ] Do you smoke?

[reassures]

The one he's talking about is very emotional.

[Not a very good comparison, really, but she thinks it's kind of amusing nonetheless.

Wow. He must keep better hours than her. Nill takes a swig from her beer, and then lifts her hand to tilt it from side to side again. Yes and no, really. The important thing was what she smoked, which was pretty far from tobacco, but she could smoke cigarettes without much problem. Her lungs were, unfortunately, rather black.]

Are you going to come out, or would you rather I handled this on my own?

[hejhej]

[Lisbeth had actually been using the bathroom when Nill called out to her. She pulls up her pants and flushes the toilet before washing her hands.]

Yeah sure. I'm on my way out.

[She dries her hands before grabbing her beer and cigarette. Lisbeth then casually walks out of the bathroom and makes her way back to the kitchen. Lisbeth then exhales smoke, leaning against the kitchen's entrance way.]

[vinovidivici]

[ Claire quirks an eyebrow at Nill. Well, whatever he smells doesn't fit with that answer, he knows that much. He's about to comment on it when the toilet flushes and he looks up at the door.

It takes a couple of seconds to take in the figure - the piercings and grungy hair. Not what he imagined Wasp's identity would hide, but now he's seen her it just clicks. He shrugs against the fridge, grinning. ] Looks like the gang's all here.

[reassures]

[Nill's cheeks go slightly red, and her wings flutter once, flustered. She hadn't realized Lisbeth was in there to actually use the bathroom, she just thought she was undecided.

She looks up at Lisbeth when she finally comes in, and then at Claire. The gang, huh... she supposed it was true, now.]

[hejhej]

[Sorry, Nill. Beer just goes right through her. But she isn't one for pleasantries and instead of introducing herself by her real name to Claire, she moves over to a chair and sits down in it.]

Nill is ready to do whatever it takes to get these bastards.

[vinovidivici]

[ Claire watches Lisbeth as she talks. He trusts her judgement - but not enough to put them all at risk based on that alone. Stone-faced he turns to Nill. ]

What happened to old-fashioned leaving it to the professionals, huh? You've already been getting our services pro bono - you're not satisfied with that?

[reassures]

[Nill sets her hands on top of each other in front of her, peering at them for a moment, before she looks up to meet Claire's gave head on. Her expression is set, determined, and maybe even a little angry. Not at him specifically, though.

There's no point in hiding it anymore, so when she 'talks' this time, it's to both of them.]

It isn't that I'm not satisfied with it. You've done a wonderful job.

However-- the hunters took two people very precious to me, one in the first hunt, and one in the second. They took me, as well, and it's the second time I and one other person have been dragged into something like that.

The person who was in the hunt with me the first time is the reason that I got out alive - and he's gone now. It isn't about being dissatisfied with what you've done at all.

[As she talks, her wings flare out a little behind her; an unconscious gesture.]

It's about doing what he would have done, and making them pay for making his last few months full of nothing but misery and anger.

[No one was ever going to come after her or hers ever again.]

[hejhej]

[Lisbeth is quiet the entire time Nill speaks. It all makes sense. It was for those same reasons that Lisbeth herself was doing this. Normally she wouldn't have bothered, but she felt like it was a personal affront.]

You won't be satisfied until you see their blood on your hands.

[vinovidivici]

[ It's clear why Lisbeth let her get his close - her devotion and dedication are unwavering. There's no room for Claire to think about it being a shame that someone so young would turn to killing out of revenge. She's made her choice.

He keeps his thoughts and his surprise at hearing her voice well hidden - at least Chane prepared him for the telepathy. He's still pokerfaced when he speaks: ] I don't want some amateur runnin' around and messing up everything we've been working on. [ A grim smile. ] So I guess you'd better work with us.

[reassures]

[It's probably better that she doesn't tell him she can hear most surface thoughts whether she wants to or not then, huh. She knows she should be better about telling people, but she's so used to hiding it that when she does talk, it's usually without thinking that maybe she should warn people.

Nill thinks to smile in return, but it doesn't seem appropriate. Not for something like this. If nothing else, though, she sounds grateful.]

I won't let you down.

[hejhej]

[Lisbeth listens to the exchange between Nill and Claire. She blinks slowly before starting their official business.]

It'd be unsafe to meet here, though, in case one of us is caught. I also don't want it in the house with Jesse.

[not that she didn't trust him - he was just distant after the first killing which she wasn't a part of. she told him it would just be a one time thing.] We'll have to keep moving around.
