WITH A CLICK of her tongue had she answered, yet not a muscle seemed to be swayed by this unexpected visitor; it had been such a slow day, something like this might keep her entertained for a while. “…beyond expectations ?” a quick snort left her lips; almost INAUDIBLE, drowned out by the alarm that had been screaming into her ears. multi-colored lenses only took a quick look at the man; it had always been hard for her to read people; he seemed normal but with such an entrance, she had a hard time believing that. “well, we USUALLY have visitors taking the door & elevator instead of running up the building to my apartment. quite…the homicidal act if you ask me.” the woman had been robbed of responding just as he was of finishing his sentence; a sharp turn of the former soldier’s body as she witnessed a dozen of her guards, clad in black suits, storming into her room. the stranger’s words had been falling on deaf ears as she stretched one of her arms out; a warning to her people. “STO-” & yet again, choking on her own words as she felt herself being picked up. 

                               THE BLURRY NIGHT encapsulated her vision; she felt electricity, heard gunshots aimed at..HER ? no, they had been wanting to protect her; she would have laughed if there was time for that; nobody was able to protect lou better than the alien herself. moment later; she felt earth beneath her feet once again. her facial expression had been beyond comprehension; nothing. NOTHING ?! she felt the moon breathing down on her; the scent of water hitting her nose, all too familiar. “what…in the world…” words dragged out, orbs set in the distance, still being able to observe her building as a speck of light. brows furrowed; a quite dangerous expression given how cold the alien usually was. with a simple kick of her leg had a dagger been dispatched off her prosthetic, landing gracefully into her right hand. cold metal was drawn to the blood of this man as it was held dangerously close to his jaw, itching to pierce his skin; SEARCHING for answer while louisiana’s eyes narrowed. “who the fuck are you & what do you want from me ?” gills flared in alert, breaking through the make-up they were hidden under, revealing the devil of the sea that had been asleep behind a perfect facade. “i’m not into playing games; state your business. now.” breath hitched; facial muscles tense as she inched closer—the glowing in her eyes not originating from fire but from a stormy sea that was bound to eat you alive. 

           EYES NARROWED at the sight of her brandishing her steel as he cock his head purposely in response-- -- exposing his jugular. A provocative smile painted itself upon his visage as he looked her straight in the eye.  ‘ That isn’t a toy, y’know? Put it down before you hurt yourself.’ Leisurely he walked up on the wooden frame of the pier as he began to lean on it, facing the sea.   ‘ You want to know who I am? I am surprised you don’t already know. I am-- --’ He paused. A drone flew by in the distance, projecting his wanted poster and bounty. Albeit his face was something plastered all over the city she wasn’t the first person unable to recognise him.  ‘ Him. Bellamy. What I want is simple. I want, you.’ The Outlaw spoke as he turned around, facing her with a serious facial as the tension in the air shifted.  ‘ I am taking over the rotten belly of underworld. Nobody really wants to live this life, right...? No one sane at least. We are all played by the nobles, by that... Thing. And unless we unify our strength it’ll be this way, forever. ’ He sighed as he began to close his eyes, hoping he could talk ( his ) sense into her.    ‘ I need you and Blackwater to join the revolution. ’ His eyes of wildfire opened, looking at her as the tension in the air grew thicker and thicker by the moment. A pacifistic route was often the way he preferred to settle things. Offer a deal they could both benefit from as they swore allegiance to the cause... But it was a kindness that could not be mistaken as weaknessfor he would ERASE any and ALL obstacle that wound up in his way.  

                                                           IT HAD BEEN another day of twiddling thumbs, smoking marlboro reds & online shopping; a preoccupied mind that found its rest in the mindless indulgence of everything that was pretty & deadly. & yet, it still had her standing at the railing of her balcony; upper body hanging loosely while a pink negligee had been hugging her body, paired with a black coat, NOT exposing too much skin; it was cold. while lou had always been made aware of any “situations” or incidents; today, the ceo had decided to lay these things off & let elijah handle everything; he was second-in-command, after all. thus, it was a surprise as she heard glass shattering, right below; echoing through the night; piercing through every inch of her flesh. SOMETHING was coming. instinctively; gills at each side of her neck started to FLARE in alert; heart pounding; excitement or fear, which one was it ?

                                                      IT DIDN’T MATTER in the slightest; quickly were a couple steps taken to the back, leaving space for what was about to come. a natural response had been her weight shifting to one leg, pushing against her prosthetics which revealed a hidden gun; a SAFETY measure. colt pointed at the directions of the windows; muscles tense as her finger itched to pull the trigger. & yet, the appearance of a seemingly normal person came as a surprise. “….you’re sorry ?” an unsure chuckle left her lips, leaving the weapon to drop at her side. “ you know, it’s never in your favor to sneak up on me. better remember that.” visibly calm; even with such a peculiar situation at hand had she put the weapon back into her prosthetic leg. arms came to cross before her chest; a bone-chilling alarm running through every floor of the building while the female simply stood there,unfazed. “ i wanted to renovate this place, anyway.” head turned towards the balcony before back to the male. “ so, what is your business here ? i was not informed that i was expecting someone, on my day off, may i add. “ a quick glance was given towards the door in the far back. “ you should answer quick before my guards come to shoot you down.”
