The Machine [Open/Accepting]

"Yay!" The twins chimed, jumping up and down while holding the phone. "We can't wait to see you!" They said at the same time.  

[Eternal_PrinceOfFire]

Damien chuckled. "Alright. I will see you then. Goodbye for now" he said. The Absolute Leader then hung up the phone and made arrangements for the next number of hours to be free to go and inspect the new building. He then headed off.

After getting off the phone, the twins informed all the engineers and made sure everything was in order. They then started inspecting the place before waiting for him to arrive.

On his way to the office, Damien called up Monica's office phone to tell her the news that Jian is recovering well, but was still not waking up. Once he got the answering machine, he hung up. He wanted to tell her in person, but thought she might be busy. He tried again 20 minutes later, but still no answer. "This is strange" he thought. He then tried her cell phone.

((This should get interesting.))

"Apparently not. Headache is still baaad. Just glad I didn't get vomit all over my new dress", Monica said with a hearty laugh and a rather childish ring to her voice. Then, her cellphone began to ring. "Hold on a moment", she said, picking it up and seeing that it was Damien. "Hello?", she asked.

((OOC: My ava right now is soooo not Lianne. =3= ))  

[lil_lollypop1]

((The homework this semester is going to kill me! ))  

[Eternal_PrinceOfFire]

((Well, good luck then. I think we'll all be busy during our respective school years.))


"I'm on my way to inspect the new version of HQ. I was at the hospital and Jian was responding, but he's still not able to wake up. Where are you? I called your office, but you're not there" Damien said.  

[lil_lollypop1]

((I got 1 hour of sleep last night due to homework. Thank God it's the weekend!))

"What's up? Work?" Shadow asked, but she was close enough to Monica that Damien could hear her through the phone.  

[Ayame-Yuura]

"Yeah, work", Monica said, covering the speaker of her phone to respond to Shadow. She then put it back to her ear and talked to Damien, "Ah, I took a little night off. I'll be heading to my office soon."

((OOC: ))  

[Eternal_PrinceOfFire]

"Ah, I see. Well, if you want, maybe you could swing by the hospital and see if you can get Jian to wake up" Damien said. He then thought about the other voice he heard. It sounded familiar. "Who's that with you?" he asked.  

[Ayame-Yuura]

"Oh, it's...", Monica then remembered that she either forgot the girl her name or hadn't asked at all. "... A friend", she said simply.

((OOC: Hey, this is Monica and Shadow if they were cute little puppies =w= ))  

[Eternal_PrinceOfFire]

"I see. Well, I will talk to you later. I hope Jian can recover soon. Goodbye" Damien said and hung up the phone. He then sat back as he headed off to the rebuilt HQ in the capital city.  

[lil_lollypop1]

The twins sat around waiting impatiently for Damien to arrive. They hadn't seen their father in months, and they were really anxious to see him again. They especially wanted to see him because they were having family problems simply because they were found alive and well. Their fortunes were safely theirs, but dashed hopes of their family members sparked new plots to get rid of them. They managed to avoid assassination and their mothers grasp for now, but they knew at this rate, they would have to do something about it.  

[Ayame-Yuura]

"Alright then. Goodbye", Monica said and kept her cellphone away. "So what are we-", she was about to ask Shadow something when she turned pale. 'A... kid?', she thought to herself, narrowing her eyes to see Shadow better. Had she been drinking with a minor this whole time? Moreover, what was that voice? Something suddenly rung in her head... Something regarding the recent Lianne incident. She just couldn't seem to remember what it was though.

"Huh? What's with that look? Oh... my face... I'm 21, almost 22. I know I don't look it. I get tired of being carded, so I started wearing a mask." She replied.
