Jae Mulciber

.

While Bella knew she had done good for the cause and the Dark Lord, hearing someone else applaud her efforts made it feel all the better. Not only had she shown her strength as a fighter but she had proven her dedication to the cause, no one could deny her loyalty. Not like they were beforehand but now here was proof. “It’s a great way to show that we don’t care about this little group Dumbledore is creating,” She grinned, what better way to show their true power than taking a hit at someone so powerful to the rest of them. “I can’t speak for all of them but I don’t suppose they’ve even heard of the cause, maybe that is why they are falling under a more neautral category,” Her answer came with a shrug of her shoulders, she didn’t know if Lucius or Christiano had ever approached the topic with either of their girlfriends. But when she approached Cissa about it, she took it hard but ended up coming around to it. “I do not know but we can always give them a little push, see how they take the pressure,” The witch offered, after the fighting at the ball who knows where any of those individuals would want to find themselves. “Of course they will but we’ll be ready for them yet again.”

Jae thought about it for a moment, knowing there was always a bit of art that went into recruiting people that weren't too sure. "We can't scare them off clearly, but if they're already attached to someone in our group then they most likely would be a bit more understanding. Give them a good incentive to join other than what they already want," Jae pointed at her with raised brows. "Like the amount of power and recognition you receive, use yourself as an example. Again it's a prime example," he made a gesture to her before laughing. "I'll stop complimenting you I promise, I'm just proud to see a good friend like you get the recognition deserved."

Lucille wondered into Jae’s office, eyes scanning the room just as slowly. She couldn’t recall having been in here before honestly, and seeing people’s offices is always interesting. “Oh I completely agree,” She called casually over her shoulder although she very clearly wasn’t concentrating on what she’d said. Eventually her eyes moved to the last part of the room and it was Jae stood, prepared to make a drink. “On the rocks, please,” Lucille flashed a small smile before identifying a chair and setting herself down. “Do you host in here often then?”

Jae poured her a glass and softly chuckled. His late wife was the only person he truly allowed to intrude in his office that wasn't a client. Lucille being the first other person to be in his office after hours. He placed the cup in front of her leaned against the desk near her. "I actually don't believe it or not, I'm not too fond of being disturbed after work hours. But don't fear, you aren't bothering me with needlessly boring questions," he smiled looking down at his hands and then back up at Lucille.

.

“Almost all of the Ministry is talking about it?” Bella questioned with a grin, her ego growing at the idea of the whole government now wary of a masked Death Eater that held nothing back against Moody { @alastxrmoody​ }. One day they’d all know her name but she was more than happy to revel in the anonymous glory. “They probably thought it was some kind of indestructible figure,” She rolled her eyes, sure the older man had put up a good fight but in the end she found the upper hand. Leaning back in her chair, she thought it over, being masked while their opponents were not was something they could use to their advantage, “It’ll be the easiest way to eliminate a few people. But that doesn’t confirm anyone really, I know I fought two individuals that have connections to us but personally I have no idea if they’d side with this Order.” Particularly thinking of Andressa and Camille, who were connected to Lucius and Christiano but she had never raised the question about where the women felt the most connected for their future.

"Of course Bella, you hurt their one strong auror leader. It's a good way to break morale in them other than potentially having an auror be on our side," Jae did a bit of a happy dance as he reveled in the fact that a good friend of his was doing so well. Things were looking up for their team, and he hoped it stayed that way. "Of course, they have connections to us but prefer to remain neutral? Interesting," he tapped the glass knowing soon enough he'd like to see them choosing a side, just as he was sure the order felt when they had people teetering into either side. "Do you believe they can be easily swayed? The people who would be happy to join our side, or you know just need the small push," he playfully pushed her a bit. "We need all the man power we can get. They'll come back at us soon enough."

“Well, the two of them have quite a full plate right now.” With the recent events, they both had some work to do, probably planning their next coup with the Dark Lord. Evan, after Rabastan and Bellatrix, was one of the highest up on the DE chain of command, and already he could see that they had just started their fight. “Come find me if you need anything, I’m always less busy than the two of them.” He urged. “Just this.” He shrugged, showing the nasty scar on his arm that had replaced the tear. “Sent two Order members to St Mungos. Did you hear what Bella did to Alastor Moody?” Evan questioned, leaning back on his seat. “Oh - We also retrieved the prophecy.”

Jae gave Evan a polite smile with a small nod, he didn't tend to ask for help but wanted to save face. "Of course, I'll keep you in mind for the future if I can't reach them. Same for me, if you do require any assistance I am more than happy to provide that for you," he meant it, knowing for the people he was close to he'd do anything for them. Unless it came around to affect him. Jae moved his attention to Evan's scar and quirked his eyebrow up. "That does look rough, but if you sent two members of the Order to St Mungos I wouldn't want to see what they look like. Good job," Jae gave a toothy smile, he was insanely proud. The Death Eaters first big event, and they had people like Evan who blew it out of the water. "Now we just have to make sure the prophecy stays in our possession, which I'm sure you and all of us will do with no mercy."

Lucille pursed her lips and nodded slowly. “Yes,” She said with a sigh. “I guess you could say that,” Her features faltered only for a second as she allowed herself a moment to really think about what had happened. This wasn’t the time ir place though so it really did only last a second before her face lightened up again. “Fire whiskey you say?” Lucille said with a cock of her head before clapping her hands together. “You know what,” A small smile grew. “Why not?”

Jae moved over to his door opening it in a way that he stood far enough for her to go through first. "After you. Sometimes when times get as tough as they are now a bit of company and a drink always help. At least for me they do," as she made her way in Jae softly closed the door behind him and beelined it for his decanter and cups. "Lucille how do you like your drinks? Neat?" He poured himself a glass. "On the rocks?" Scooped a bit of ice into his own. "Or mixed?" Jae placed his hand on the neck of the bottle and turned to face Lucille waiting for an answer. Eyes never really moving from her face.

.

Bella couldn’t help but sit up a little straighter, a wicked smile gracing her face at the reminder, “Yes, it was a rather joyous outcome.” She felt proud of herself for being able to face off with the Auror and come out victorious, even if it was because of her dirty tricks. It was nice to hear from someone else in the ranks admire the power and position she held, she knew she would do anything for the cause and she was sure the Dark Lord knew it too, but to know there were others that took notice as well. “I’m almost certain he will,” She replied, it took a great deal of strength to carry out Jae’s task and he did it flawlessly in her opinion. The brunette nodded her head, Jae was very similar to her in cruelty and she thought he was an excellent addition to the Death Eaters so to hear how loyal he was even in future endeavors. “And we gladly enjoy having you on our side,” she smirked in return, “It’ll only be a matter of time before we can reveal all of them. I’m sure there are many close to those we know that are apart of their little group too.”

"I heard all about it, the great fight -- almost all of the Ministry is constantly talking about it," Jae rolled his eyes more so on the fact that having to hear woe's from everyone about their beloved Alastor Moody ( @alastxrmoody​ ) being hurt. "It's almost sickening how much they look up to that man," he smirked at the thought of someone who they saw as powerful being put into the hospital. "But they must be so scared, running to a meeting and discussing what to do next. Can't we talk to the others and see who they fought? That might be a good idea, they didn't see us but we saw them," he wiggled his brows. "Make their lives more of a living hell."

Where: In the streets

Who: @jaemulciber

There weren’t many that Dahlia enjoyed the company of. Bella of course. Cissa was a pretty angel. A few others she supposed but most of them she would happily watch burn to the ground. She hadn’t yet decided about Jae. He was pretty enough she supposed and on the right side as far as she was concerned at the moment. He enjoyed doing some real damage to people as well and she liked that darkness in him. She supposed she wasn’t sure about him though because she had reached her quota of people to care for already. A girl could only like so many people after all. 

Her thoughts carried her down the street and brought the man in question into view. A grin came to her lips as she called for him to wait a moment. Her steps never picking up pace as she expected him to wait for her arrival. Her hand reaching out to take his arm as she reached him. “My darling. I was just thinking about you. You’re looking quite pretty today. Where are you off to? If you say something boring I shall be very disappointed in you.”

Jae's brow went up the minute he saw Dahlia. He didn't know her well enough to constitute a more excited reaction, but knew her enough that it would be a interesting time to be around her. "You were thinking of me?" He allowed her to take his arm and happily wrapped it around hers. "Thank you, you look beautiful as always. I was just heading to the pub, hadn't been able to eat properly since work has been busy to say the least," he knew of Marlene's situation and knew of a few others who had gotten caught at the ball. Randoms that weren't actually part of the battle who wanted Jae's help. "And what were you doing princess? Other than thinking about me." Jae watched their surroundings on the off chance that Dahlia brought up something that wasn't good for the general public to hear.

Though Evan knew of Jae’s support through Bellatrix, he wondered if the other man knew of his involvement too. He might have figured it out or at least suspect it, for Evan was very open about his supremacy ideas. Plus, with his exclusive pureblood purist social circle, it was no wonder he’d join.  On top of both being from the DE, it seemed that the two saw each other from time to time at events, and the Rosier heir knew of the man’s social standing. “Didn’t know I needed a court hearing to say hello.” He started, taking a seat on the other side of his desk. “How did the summer solstice hold up for you?”

@evan-rapture​

Jae laughed softly at his words and stared at the man a bit before realizing his mistake. "Evan Rosier, correct? Apologies my mind has been elsewhere, and while no you don't need a court hearing -- I just don't get many visitors who aren't the likes of Bellatrix or Rabastan," he became more comfortable knowing he didn't have to worry about what he said in front of him.

"The Summer Solstice proved to be rather eventful, it had its good moments and bad as any event. More good for me. Were you hurt at all? I know a few of us were sent to St. Mungos, a shame really," Jae pouted a bit looking at the paperwork that now littered his desk.

.

The second the Death Eaters had disappeared into the shadows until the moment Bella had to apparate away with Christiano, she had been on a high. Being able to showcase all her talents and everything the Dark Lord had taught her, especially in the case of Alastor Moody { @alastxrmoody​ }, had been just the thing she needed. All the anger she had earlier in the night forgotten as she let her ruthlessness go and she happened to think she did well at proving herself to the Dark Lord and to the rest of the world that they were not to be messed with. But there were few who were left on a adrenaline high as she was, one of which she spotted sitting alone as she walked into the pub.

Bella smiled devilishly as she approached his table, easily slipping into the empty seat, “Mr. Mulciber. I believe we just might, it was quite an eventful evening wouldn’t you say?” She was not afraid of speaking her truth at this pub, most of their patrons had already aligned themselves with the Dark Lord, so if they heard something that hadn’t before there was a less of a chance they’d be running over to tell someone. “Hope you enjoyed a spot of fun last night, I know I did.”

"Very eventful, I heard of your fight with Moody -- I can't help but happy for you. The Dark Lord most definitely will notice the power you yield and how important you are to the cause," while he'd rather find himself in more refined restaurants the White Wyvern gave him a sense of belonging. He knew his celebrations with Bellatrix would be both kept quiet here, and celebrated. "I just hope he sees the same in me, I mean obviously not on the same rank as you but...that my debt has officially been paid," Jae took a sip of his drink and passed for a while tasting the bitter liquid. "Not saying I wouldn't do any more of his tasks, I will follow him regardless. Just want that weight lifted off my shoulders. Though as you said it was quite fun," a bright smile replaced his solemn looks. "Now we know some of the Order members. Which will prove helpful.”

location: the ministry

It was fair to say that the last month could have been better. Work felt like so much more of an effort compared to usual. Being in the building didn’t quite feel the same anymore. Lucille’s head was down staring at twiddling thumbs as she headed out of the building - Which was what lead to her colliding with someone. “Oh blimey,” She huffed as her head snapped up. Her hands smoothed out her dress, brows furrowed. “I’m sorry. I find myself somewhat distracted as of late.” What probably made the collision easier was that she’d collided with someone relatively attractive.  | @jaemulciber​​

Jae felt the air escape him as Lucille crashed into him. He eyed the woman up and down debating whether or not he would give her the time of day. Once he realized he was staring a bit longer than intended, he gave her a warm smile -- or tried to. "It's quite alright, I think we all have had a lot on our minds as of recently. We're allowed to make simple mistakes because of that, these are tough times," Jae fixed his blazer and looked back at the woman. These weren't necessarily tough times for him, but he didn't know anything about the lady across from him last thing he'd want is her knowing that. "If you need a breather you can come into my office? I have some fire whiskey?" Jae motioned behind him.

CLOSED STARTER WITH @jaemulciber

where: the white wyvern when: the week following the solstice

Rabastan had finally gotten over himself. The self-hatred and loathing had subsided as the days had passed and instead he now looked forward. The Death Eater’s had obtained the prophecy and had essentially won the battle. Rabastan found himself toiling over some future ideas when he noticed Jae in the room. Seeing a friend made Rabastan smile slightly as he got up from his seat and moved over to the man. “Jae.” he greeted. “How are you holding up?” he asked. He knew what Jae did wasn’t easy, Rabastan of all people knew that. “I’m here if you need to talk about anything.”

Jae smiled as his friend came up to him, noticing something had been off with the man. Rabastan seemed tired, which Jae wouldn't be surprised if he was. "I'm doing good," there was no lie in his words. He felt as if he was supposed to be tired, if he was supposed to be consumed by what he did. It consumed him when he killed his wife, but this time around he didn't feel a thing. "I had a debt to pay, that is all it was. And she clearly knew a bit too much about your doings," Jae looked down at his drink and then back to Rabastan. "How are you doing?" Jae took a sip of his drink and watched Rabastan closely, looking for any sign that he had to jump in and be a good friend. An ally to the man across from him, which he would do in a heartbeat.

"Tell me Regulus, if you weren't who you were now -- where would you be? And I mean you don't have the last name Black, and you were just another wizard," Jae stood in front of some orchids his assistant had insisted in put in his office. "A last name is a big burden, sacred twenty eight or not. So it's important to know what Regulus would be like if he didn't have the burden of the Black last name," he turned to face the boy with a smile. This was test of sorts to Jae, depending on the boys answer would mean how he would proceed the conversation.

Jae walked over to his desk pouring himself and the man sitting in the adjacent chair -- Evan -- a drink. Screwing the top back on the decanter and sitting back into his black leather chair, Jae placed the glass to his lips and stared at Evan with dark eyes. "And how may I be of assistance?" There were many incidents the night of the ball, each leading to different small victories for either side. They learned of the Order and the Order finally got a good look at them -- with masks of course. Evan he believed, was one of the ones who stood on his side. "I don't believe you have a court hearing," Jae slouched back.

Jae could picture the incident in his head every time he closed his eyes. Most would have been unable to sleep, finding it hard to muster looking at themselves in the mirror but for Jae it was almost cathartic. It was as if Amelia's death solved his wife's death. The power he felt still coursing through his veins as he thought of the moment. Knowing he had spent his time mastering this kind of magic, mastering the art of death to the degree that he thought of himself as the grim reaper. Yet Jae knew through his line of work that he couldn't get cocky, cocky people made dumb mistakes. His eyes flickered up to Bellatrix as the woman walked across the pub and towards his table.

"Ms. Black, the one and only," he smiled motioning to the empty chair across from him. "Have a seat please. I feel like we might have a bit to...discuss?"

Easy enough. He had just killed his wife and while that stung a lot he also knew how important it was to pay back the debt owed for the Dark Lord. Hitting his finger on the drinking glass in his hand, he surveyed the room around him. Many of the patrons were distracted -- whether it have been dancing or talking with guests each one of them remained carefree. He kept watching till he picked his victim. Downing the drink in his hand he stood up almost cat like and held the drink tightly in his hand. This would be the excuse he'd use. Sorry I was just on the way to get a new drink, didn't see you there. He repeated it over and over again even sometimes practicing the charming smile he'd use. With the target spotted he made a bee line for them, just as he had practiced in his head. Bump into them. Jae bumped into his target, and quickly feigned concern. Ask how they're doing. "Oh no -- I'm sorry I was just on my way to get a new drink, must have been too excited," place a hand on their back. Jae maneuvered his hand plucking a hair swiftly so it would have just been an afterthought in their brain. Swiftly exit the scene in a way that won't draw attention to you. "I promise I won't do that again, I'll drink water from now on. Please do continue enjoying your night," a charming smile, and turn around. Jae headed straight for the bar as to not raise suspicions and ordered a glass of water. Place the strand of hair away for safe keeping. He neatly placed it in a vial he was able to get from the others and awaited further instruction from the Dark Lord.
