Evil Council of Shadowy Figures (Emily/Gabriel)

[ChocoRem]

Sara had gone missing. One of his own comrades. Was it a personal attack on him? Or Travis, perhaps? Considering the clues left at the scene of the crime it could be one of three things. Militia could have done it, trying to frame the Dragons, the Dragons could have done it, trying to frame Militia, or a third party was the culprit, trying to frame both groups in question. A stupid attempt at that. No-one would believe that both groups worked together to kidnap someone. They could barely stay in the same room with each other. Well, for now, one of these possibilities would be answered. He had texted both Emily and Gabriel to meet him in a secluded classroom. He would have answers.

[Gabriel Seran]

It would seem as if things were reaching their breaking point around school, rumors flew about, and they concerned each side. Violent proposals where about, all of these would have pleased the initial militia ideals, order was not of their concern under times like these. Gabriel was proud of the madness that had concluded. Now he’d received notice from Rem to meet up with him, yet again? He wondered the terms upon this agreement, what did he want now?

Gabriel went willingly, he had to show face every now and again, in order to maintain a strong following they needed to keep face with the public. He strode down the hallways with a smooth exterior ignoring the strange looks and whispers about the hall as he found himself entering an empty classroom with Rem at its head.

“So…What do you have in store for today?” Gabriel said as he walked towards a seat, taking his place on the table before it.

[seishounohana]

Emily was practicing her ballet out in one of the dance classrooms when she got Rem's message. Somehow, she felt that something was not right -- and Emily was usually correct.

She took her things, shut off the music and left for the meeting place, which was on another building. Peace and quiet was a rare commodity, and this only proved it.

Emily would arrive at the classroom two minutes after Gabriel did, clad in a white dress along with her usual black toeshoes. Her hair was also in a messy bun today, as her hair kinda was getting in the way of practice.

"Sorry for the outfit -- came from practice." She said, shutting the door. Both Rem and Gabriel were here -- it must be some pretty serious news. "... So what's the meeting about?"

[ChocoRem]

“So…What do you have in store for today?”

"Sorry for the outfit -- came from practice ... So what's the meeting about?"

When they'd both arrived, Rem turned toward them, his chair swiveling to face the classroom. His facial expression was devoid of any emotion. He wasn't going to beat around the bush.

"A close associate of mine has recently been kidnapped. The only clues at the scene of the crime were an emblem and a word."

He glanced from his sister to Gabriel.

"The emblem was Militia's and the word was Dragon. Two gangs are implicated in this crime. There are several possibilities. Either one of the gangs tried to frame the other, but stupidly left a trace of themselves there as well, or someone is trying to frame both of our gangs."

He was attempting to keep calm, but Sara's kidnapping had most certainly created chaos.

"I'm going to ask once, and only once. Did either of you authorize the kidnapping of Sara Quinn, or do you know of any within our ranks stupid enough to do such a thing? Sara is a strong girl. She's almost as strong as I am. The only ones who could have gotten to her would be higher ups. So, do you know?"

[Gabriel Seran]

"A close associate of mine has recently been kidnapped. The only clues at the scene of the crime were an emblem and a word."

Rem glanced from his sister to Gabriel.

"The emblem was Militia's and the word was Dragon. Two gangs are implicated in this crime. There are several possibilities. Either one of the gangs tried to frame the other, but stupidly left a trace of themselves there as well, or someone is trying to frame both of our gangs."

Gabriel stood tall and thought of the moron who would have possibly done such a thing unless of course they were calling the gangs out. What a certainly devilish thing to do. He had to cover the smirk genius he was surprised he didn’t think of it. It’s because you’re not a monster, Gabriel thought, yet…Reven countered.

"I'm going to ask once, and only once. Did either of you authorize the kidnapping of Sara Quinn, or do you know of any within our ranks stupid enough to do such a thing? Sara is a strong girl. She's almost as strong as I am. The only ones who could have gotten to her would be higher ups. So, do you know?"

Gabriel stood first approaching the man Rem, a great man in his opinion their only problem now was a matter of opinion though Gabriel had no doubt that his intentions were for the best.

“Non, I have not authorized any kidnappings…though of course you must realize the perpetrator must mean for war…”

[seishounohana]

"A close associate of mine has recently been kidnapped. The only clues at the scene of the crime were an emblem and a word." That surely caught Emily's attention. She went closer to her brother and Gabriel, sitting on a table. She crossed her legs, as she started to become comfortable in spite of the heavy news. She just wanted to listen. "The emblem was Militia's and the word was Dragon. Two gangs are implicated in this crime. There are several possibilities. Either one of the gangs tried to frame the other, but stupidly left a trace of themselves there as well, or someone is trying to frame both of our gangs."

"..."

"I'm going to ask once, and only once. Did either of you authorize the kidnapping of Sara Quinn, or do you know of any within our ranks stupid enough to do such a thing? Sara is a strong girl. She's almost as strong as I am. The only ones who could have gotten to her would be higher ups. So, do you know?"

“Non, I have not authorized any kidnappings…though of course you must realize the perpetrator must mean for war…”

Such an untimely and unplanned assault? Nope. She had no idea who it could be, at least for the moment.

"I haven't either -- and I believe none of us in Militia would do such a thing." Her again and her idealism. Well, she had been around the men quite enough to get a good impression of them, and she trusted them. That was the most she could do, at the moment.

Kari had fought Sara before, but Emily remembered that event well. Emily knew whatever Kari did, and so -- it couldn't possibly be her.

"It is either the Dragons or someone is trying to frame all of us." she said, "I don't believe the dragons have any motive for this though. The only dragons I know of that exist in the school are Linda, the bone dragon and Mathew, the Earth Dragon. Neither of them I believe has a motive. It must be something else..."

Emily trailed off and begun to think. Maybe there's an anti-transfer group here in PHS42 and decided to pull something against all of us? It's not impossible at all.""

[ChocoRem]

“Non, I have not authorized any kidnappings…though of course you must realize the perpetrator must mean for war…”

Rem fought valiantly against the sudden urge to break something. Good thing he was in such good control of his emotions. His inward struggle had not in the slightest been shown through his exterior.

"I haven't either -- and I believe none of us in Militia would do such a thing. It is either the Dragons or someone is trying to frame all of us. I don't believe the dragons have any motive for this though. The only dragons I know of that exist in the school are Linda, the bone dragon and Mathew, the Earth Dragon. Neither of them I believe has a motive. It must be something else... Maybe there's an anti-transfer group here in PHS42 and decided to pull something against all of us? It's not impossible at all."

He took all that his sister had to say in. Of course he had thought of everything she'd said as being possibilities.

"I agree with the fact that there isn't much motive for the Dragons to try to frame Militia, and I also don't think they'd be stupid enough to leave traces of themselves at the scene of the crime either."

He leaned forward and propped his head up on the table in front of him, his eyes staring wistfully out of a window, as though he didn't have a single care in the world.

"An anti-transfer group? My own observations about this matter make that seem highly unlikely. If the culprit only meant to affect the transfers negatively, they wouldn't have done something that would most definitely create a negative environment for themselves as well. No... this is the work of someone who simply wishes to bask in the anarchy that this situation is sure to bring..."

[Gabriel Seran]

"I haven't either -- and I believe none of us in Militia would do such a thing. It is either the Dragons or someone is trying to frame all of us.

Neither of them I believe has a motive. It must be something else... Maybe there's an anti-transfer group here in PHS42 and decided to pull something against all of us? It's not impossible at all."

Gabriel nodded leaving the conversation behind at the moment, the two dragons he’d encountered earlier, Matthew and Linda… they were threats and potential fights in the near future. Gabriel had learned enough about Matthew for now, he wasn’t the dumbest of the group certainly would be one of the more challenging of the group to deal with. Linda didn’t leave too much of an impression with her roasting marsh mellows. In fact Gabriel could’ve laughed if he hadn’t heard enough about her dangerous abilities.

"I agree with the fact that there isn't much motive for the Dragons to try to frame Militia, and I also don't think they'd be stupid enough to leave traces of themselves at the scene of the crime either."

Gabriel looked upward to catch Rem staring out the window. Tsk tsk, so much emotion, just like Unfettered in silence. Though showing such emotion didn’t get things done. Not at times like these if Rem was going to be their leader he had to start showing no fear, no emotion, it was the burden a leader had to live with. To sacrifice one’s self for all others.

"An anti-transfer group? My own observations about this matter make that seem highly unlikely. If the culprit only meant to affect the transfers negatively, they wouldn't have done something that would most definitely create a negative environment for themselves as well. No... This is the work of someone who simply wishes to bask in the anarchy that this situation is sure to bring..."

Gabriel laughed aloud now. His eyes were a slight bit calloused as they became enlightened by a copper rim. The entity was one, no Reven or Gabriel but both at once.

“Then we should take this opportunity to bolster our ranks.” Gabriel announced cooly, it sounded cold hearted and cruel but in times of war these things were done much more often than not, and if they weren’t the ones to do so then the other side would not wait up on our account. “By that I mean, redeem our honor show the school that we are not responsible for this napping and reclaim her ourselves before the Dragons have a chance.”

He had met Sara once, she was strong willed, an immensely talented fighter from what he’d seen of her. He owed it to her to get her out of the clutches of whatever monster dared to disturb the two largest powers on campus.

“Where do we start?” he acknowledged both Rem and Emily as an equal conglomerate once more showing that he favored their equality in all decisions rather than doctoral command.

[seishounohana]

“Then we should take this opportunity to bolster our ranks.” Emily's eyes shot towards Gabriel. Bolster their ranks? “By that I mean, redeem our honor show the school that we are not responsible for this napping and reclaim her ourselves before the Dragons have a chance.”

Unfortunately, Emily didn't see this as a problem amongst Militia. This was a problem that reflected the transfers as a whole. This entire incident made them look like adrenaline-crazed delinquents. She knew the dragons more than this, there must be something else.

“Where do we start?”

"Call me naive, but reclaiming ourselves in the eyes of the natives would not really be easy, even if we did manage to figure out who the culprit is. Our reputation as transfers are damaged; there's not a lot we can do about that."

She looked at Rem and Gabriel, smiling lightly, "I'm sorry. Got a little too pessimistic there, but I believe we should see what the Dragons have to say for this. This is a problem for all of us transfers, not just us."

She was willing to be the envoy, at the risk of making herself sound like a total idiot and maybe provoking the dragons into attacking her. Emily only hoped, that the two understood what she was trying to say.

Then again, it was the perfect opportunity to frame the people to believe the dragons was up to all this, but now wasn't the time. It would just set chain reaction that could lead to Militia's downfall. They weren't in the right condition to take on the Dragons, even as a group.

She knew this from personal experience.

Besides, Emily wasn't one to use defamation. This wasn't the time.

"Let me talk to them. I'll call you two what I find out and if we agree on anything."
