D.I.C.E(Game Thread/PM to Join)

[Shadowstar38]

"Sure lead the way"

The agent lead Elizer out of the file room and up the stairs. They went a few flights up until they got to the parking garage above Division 1. The Lieutenant was waiting for the two of them in a white convertible, while eating a bag of popcorn. He turned his head when he heard them get closer and nodded.

"Elizer. There you are. I've been waiting for like, two whole minutes"

He put the popcorn in the back seat and took the keys out of his pocket.

"Are you ready to go?"

 

[MortifiedPenguin]

He was lead from the file room, up a few flights of stairs until he and the other agent arrived in the parking garage. The same Lieutenant who had given him the ID card was waiting in front of a white convertible while casually eating from a bag of popcorn. When they got closer she nodded to them, motioning them over to the car.

"Are you ready to go?" She said

"Sure, it would be nice to know where I'm going for once though - Rebecca." He said smirking.

 

[Shadowstar38]

"Sure, it would be nice to know where I'm going for once though Rebecca."

"We're headed to...what?"

A sudden look of embarrassment formed on her face as she looked at Elizer questioningly. The agent that had brought the two together looked equally confused.

"Don't you have somewhere to be?," She barked in a commanding tone. The agent only saluted and hurried off back out of the garage. "We're going to the Netherlands," Rebecca said, still in a huff. "It shouldn't take long"

 

[MortifiedPenguin]

At the mention of her name the Lieutenant suddenly looked embarrassed and quickly ordered the other agent away in a huff. So the Lieutenant doesn't like people using her name? Or is it that she doesn't like people knowing her gender? Eliezer wondered. She goes to such lengths to hide who she is it must be one of the two. Interesting.

"We're going to the Netherlands," Rebecca said, still in a huff. "It shouldn't take long"

"Okay then" He smiled cheerfully knowing he had gotten under her skin and waited for her to unlock the car.

 

[Shadowstar38]

Rebecca hit the pressed the button on the keypad that made the car unlock electronically. She climbed into the drivers seat and put the keys into the ignition to start it up, and threw it into reverse once Elizer was in.

The woman radioed in a command to the portal room, which created a larger portal for the car to drive through in the garage. They emerged from the other side in a dilapidated underground parking complex that looked as if it hadn't been used for years.

The drive to their location seemed to lighten up Rebecca's foul mood a bit, as her sour forwards glare on the road lightened as they got closer to the city.

"I'm guessing this is your first time in this country?," She asked casually. She tried to get a bit of small talk going as she looked for the spot they needed to be at, probably as to not get bored.

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"So Isabelle, how long have you and Vayle been with DICE?" Garath asked as the three of them began to drink their hot chocolate. After taking a couple of sips, Isabelle put hers on the table.

"Well for Vayle it has been roughly two to three years. Myself on the other hand, I've known about the organization ever since I was a young teenager; in fact myself and my father even acted as consultants for the organization since some of the information which they possessed was lacking in places. I was even made an honorary member of Division Two during the duration.

Though in terms of years as an active agent, its been around five years; I joined after the death of my father, it was after a few days of mourning that I realised that the Hearte family couldn't remain wholly independant forever, we needed to be apart of something in order for the knowledge we possessed to remain. However, recently I've been making plans."

After she spoke, Richard had finally arrived.

"Am I bothering you?" Richard asked, but went in anyways. "You did say it was important, Isabelle, and you sounded pretty serious, but I can come back if you are having some... private time." Isabelle rose from her seat, hot chocolate in hand, and casually drank it as she spoke.

"Ah Richard, I see that you finally managed to find your way down to Division Two. We wasn't having some private time, just relaxing whilst having a hot chocolate, and having a discussion." Isabelle remarked in a polite and relaxed tone."

"Bet yes, you were right, it was important business indeed." She added, now in a more serious tone. "Do follow me, we was going to talk in my quarters. I shall see you two later." Isabelle then left the room, leaving Garath and Vayle. Both she and Richard soon arrived in her quarters, noticing that it had been cleaned recently. Isabelle put her mug down on her desk, then faced Richard.

"I noticed the badge that you have in your possession."

 

[DarkRawen]

"I noticed the badge that you have in your possession."

Richard shrugged, pretending that what she had said was just something casual. However, something about the mood, told him she wasn't talking about it as the proof of his position as Head Division 6. Still, he smiled. "Yeah, they give them to the Division Heads. I'm... one of those now, you know. It's still hard to believe, isn't it? I hardly do myself." What did she know? And... why had she chosen to speak to him?

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"Yeah, they give them to the Division Heads. I'm... one of those now, you know. It's still hard to believe isn't it? I hardly do myself." Richard said in a rather casual manner, adding at smile at the end. Isabelle sighed, realising that he had missed the point.

"Yeah, it is quite a surprise, and again I congratulate you for it. Tell me, you haven't talked to a man by the name of Voltaire recently have you?" Isabelle asked, hoping a name would drive the point further.

 

[DarkRawen]

"Yeah, it is quite a surprise, and again I congratulate you for it. Tell me, you haven't talked to a man by the name of Voltaire recently have you?"

Richard tilted his head. It was becoming harder to act as if she hadn't said anything, and it was clear she knew some of it. "Voltaire... yes, I did." Isabelle might have realized something, but without knowing how much, Richard didn't feel like telling her the rest. If she had found out that he was a spy... what was he going to do with her? She seemed like type of person to do stuff according to moral, and in this situation she would most likely tell the lead about it. He decided to tell her what she already could find out from his file. "He wanted to recommend me for the position, never told me why." Half-lies. Richard had found it easier to hide something if he twisted his words a bit, told the truth, without telling people which truth. Voltaire never had told him why this was happening. "Why do you ask?" "And please stop."

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"Voltaire... yes, I did." Richard said, he looked nervous, which meant something had happened.

"He wanted to recommend me for the position, never told me why. Why do you ask?"

"No reason, it just seems sudden is all, like something is about to happen, or has already happened, never can tell with a mystery. Then again, being mysterious was the game that Voltaire liked to play. It also reminded me of the time that my father and I was offered one of those badges; back when we were consultants for D.I.C.E."

Then again, being mysterious was the game that Voltaire liked to play. It also reminded me of the time that my father and I was offered one of those badges; back when we were consultants for D.I.C.E."

"He did?" Richard asked. "I mean... isn't it weird for someone to be offered a Head of Division badge when acting as consultants?" She was referring to it as a sign of D0, he realized. That was what she knew, and why she had approached him. "Perhaps she hasn't put the clues together yet? Perhaps she doesn't know about.. me." In order to shift the focus over at what she had said, he continued; "So, why were you and your father offered the badge?"

 

[IFS]

"Do follow me, we was going to talk in my quarters. I shall see you two later."

Garath waited until Isabelle had left the room and then turned towards Vayle, "What was that about?" he said, his mind jumped to the obvious conclusion, and felt a momentary pang of jealousy, but for some reason that didn't seem likely, not given how Richard usually acted at any rate.

He considered following her, though that would be rude and honestly a bit creepy. Then again he could just go wait for her to finish her business with Richard, so that he could ask her a few questions away from Vayle.

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"What was that about?" Garath asked in confusion as Isabelle and Richard left the room.

"I don't actually know Garath, though it sounded like their conversation is rather important."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"He did?" Richard asked. "I mean... isn't it weird for someone to be offered a Head of Division badge when acting as consultants?" He then seemed to stop for a moment before continuing. "So, why were you and your father offered the badge?"

"In case you had forgotten, my family has been around for a few centuries; during that time we have amassed a large amount of knowledge regarding demon lore, and even their biology in a way. Some of the stuff in the library of my family home would interest you Richard, perhaps if we ever went there, I could show you.

Its this knowledge that they wanted, they even tempted us with membership into Division Zero. But we declined, fearing that they may use it for some other purpose. Call it paranoia if you will, but we simply didn't trust them; something about them didn't seem quite right. Then again, with a Division that masks itself in shadow, there is not a lot that is certain." Isabelle then stopped, thinking over her next words with caution.

"Its not that I don't trust you Richard, I do to a degree, its just that something about that badge doesn't feel right."

Isabelle then stopped. Richard knew she knew about his involvement with D0, and from the sound of it, she had some experience with the division. Hopefully, she wouldn't know that they used spies. As interesting as the library sounded, he doubted he would be able to leave DICE soon. He nodded, but didn't comment on it. Isabelle then continued.

"Its not that I don't trust you Richard, I do to a degree, its just that something about that badge doesn't feel right."

Richard looked at her. She seemed sincere, and told him outright that she doubted him. Of course she did. And she wouldn't stop doubting him, no matter what he said. What was he to do? How could he handle this situation?

Of course. It was clear. If she knew too much, he needed to make her silent. Richard smirked, but he felt like looking away from her eyes. He felt sick. Sick, tired, cold. Terribly cold and empty. Why wouldn't people just... leave him be? Was he really that easily bullied into submission? Was he someone people felt needed to be kept an eye on all the time? "How much?" he asked, his voice not as soft as usual. "How much do you know, Isabelle?" A hint of desperation could be heard in his words, if one listened carefully.

 

[IFS]

"I don't actually know Garath, though it sounded like their conversation is rather important."

"Hmmm," Garath thought for a moment before deciding to go after Isabelle, he was curious, and if it was important he might be able to help, then again if he said that to Vayle she'd probably want to go with him, and he wanted to talk to Isabelle without Vayle, "I've got to return this, you should probably wait here for Isabelle," he said, picking up the incense burner and walking out the door.

He headed down towards Isabelle's room, once he reached the door he hesitated, should I wait for her to finish talking with Richard, no that would be a bit pathetic to be waiting out here this whole time, plus it might startle her. he leaned forward and knocked on the door, then stepped back and waited for a response.

 

[MortifiedPenguin]

He followed Rebecca into the car once she unlocked it, sliding into the front passenger seat and waited for the lieutenant to start driving. She radioed into what he assumed to the portal room as afterwards a swirling blue portal not to dissimilar to the one he used to get to and return to London popped up afterwards.and drove right through it. Not even a chance for him to get an inkling to where the HQ was located, it was like the building ran autonomously in it's own private time zone.

They arrived in a dilapidated parking garage, he wondered if the one at HQ would look like this after years of abandonment, but they soon zoomed out of the garage interrupting his train of thought.

Rebecca was still in a foul mood, glaring out the window like the road she was driving on was her prey, but out of the blue she asked if he had been to the Netherlands before, he had at some point while travelling through Europe during the dark ages, it wasn't all that interesting, just flatlands that stretched out for miles and rivers.

"Yeah, a long time ago" He said wistfully, "Why'd you get so angry when I said you're name?"

 

[Shadowstar38]

"Yeah, a long time ago" He said wistfully, "Why'd you get so angry when I said you're name?"

She still looked intent on watching the road and the buildings, appearing to not think too much of the question.

"Not that hard to guess" She pointed at her face with one hand. "I make myself look like this for a reason. I don't want anyone knowing I'm a woman. It leads to too many additional questions I don't feel like answering"

Rebecca turned down a busy with with much heavier traffic. She peered over the few cars in from of them before settling back into her seat.

"Might take a minute..."

 

[Ruedyn]

Kain was glad the practice dummy was capable of taking abuse from a full on demon, he didn't want to pay for repairs. He decided to hit the showers, but decided to leave the beard that had stopped growing, for now, alone. He wasn't a fan per-se, but he was feeling lazy.

He forgot to say thanks to Vayle before, and wanted to try his hand at tracking an ethereal being, so he decided to try and find her. Except she had no scent, and he couldn't hear her....
'Screw it, I'll just ask Garath if he knows where she went.' It didn't take too long to single out his scent, a minute, three at the most. He began the walk to D2 common rooms.

 

[MortifiedPenguin]

The car came a halt once they had turned the corner. There was a lot more traffic on this road then the last one. Realising that they would probably be stuck here for a while Eliezer relaxed into the soft car seat and rested his legs on the dashboard. He wondered what she had meant by 'additional questions', there were plenty of women working at DICE and none of them concealed their gender. If he was going to be stuck in a car with her he my as well ask.

"Oh? And what additional questions would they be?"

 

[Shadowstar38]

"Oh? And what additional questions would they be?"

"complicated ones," She said bluntly.

The target was right up the road, and this pile up wasn't going to let up soon. It might be better to just walk from here. Rebecca pulled over to the side in a parking space and took out a small pair of binoculars.

After scoping the place out for a moment, she put them away and turned to Elizer.

"There's two items under your seat. Pull them out and get ready"

Under the passanger seat sat laid a hokey mask and a loaded glock 19.
