The dark-haired man smiled at them pleasantly, then coughed very quietly. Clay stopped mid-sentence and blinked.
"Oh yes," he said. "Sorry, this is Lonan Blake, the co-founder of my company. You've met before, haven't you, Mike?"
"No," Mike said, and his eyes narrowed very slightly. "Actually, you told me he was dead."
The man, Blake, laughed and spoke in a friendly Britich accent. "Well, I admit I've been under the radar for several years. It's good to meet you, and your companions."
(I gotta go now, see y'all tomorrow)
(aww I just got back too) Pluto stayed silent, staring at Blake. There was definitely something wrong with him, she just couldn't quite place what
(oh god I don't think I'm ever going to leave notebook for more than half a day ever again)
(looool sorry XDD Are you feeling better today?)
(lol I was actually feeling hella good saturday. But I'm awake now which is pretty nice because I'm usually exhausted.)
(good! Glad to hear it ^^)
(I'll only be here for like twenty more minutes but sure)
"Anyway," Clay said with annoyance. "Mike, would you please go catch my demons? You can chit-chat with Blake later."
Mike stood up. "Right you are. Let's go, guys."
Pluto got up, still frowning at Blake. Unfortunately, she wasn't paying attention while she did and ended up knocking her chair aside with one of her wings. "Uh…oops?"
Oddly, Clay didn't seem to notice. He had already turned back to Blake and was grumbling about inefficiency. Blake watched Pluto with sharp eyes, but said nothing, instead lacing his fingers together and patiently listening to Clay's complaints.
"Come on, Pluto," Mike said from the door.
"Oh, oops." Red repeated when she saw the chair fall. She contemplated picking it up but instead just followed Mike out the door instead.
Pluto picked the chair up and followed Mike out the door
Mike led them back up the hall, seeming preoccupied. "Blake huh?" he muttered. "I admit I could tell Clay was lying when he said Blake was dead, but still. That guy seemed more….professional than I was expecting. Kinda random that he'd show up all sudden like this, too. You kids didn't pick up anything strange about him, did you?"
(somebody pls explain where we're at)
(Oh jeez. What's your last memory?)
(um.. Asura was saying Pluto wasn't a planet and Pluto said viva la pluto fuck you)
(Oookay. Well…..long story short, we're in Mike's dimension now cuz he wanted to check on his company right quick. Turned out one of his sponsors (Clay) needed him to catch a couple escaped demons before he left again, so that's what they're doing right now. Blake is the co-founder of Clay's business, and there seems to be something strange about him.)
(alright so what exactly are they doing at the moment?)
(They're at Clay's property in his underground base, just heading up to find out where in the forest the demons are hiding. They'll use tranqs to catch 'em cuz they're valuable and can't be harmed.
Aaand I gotta go to class, sorry. Seeya in like an hour or two ^^;)
(okay, cool.)
"No, not really." Asura said. "By the way, after we tranquilize the demons, I could keep them in a small prison using my staff. They'll be a lot easier to transport that way."
"Yeah, magic stick, cool and all. Are we gonna ignore the fact that the creep in the corner was probably not human? I'm getting died and came back to life vibes."
"Probably. He reminded me of the scientists back in the labs… Just standing there watching us then scribbling down notes."
