UN: BLACK ORDER | ENCRYPTED | TEXT | 2/1

[kaisoumods]

[An encrypted message, not connected to Libra, will appear on the phone. Instead of the phone giving the usual notification, the Black Order guardians will hear bells ringing in their head until they check the message.

The Black Order guardians know exactly what it means: their bosses have a mission for them. And per usual, the message is annoyingly cryptic]

Constant this world may be
An invasive demon breaks free
By blades it spreads
Until its in the head
Shred shred shred shred

Deal with this foe
A mission you should not forgo
Remember though
You must get at the root
To get a garden to bear fruit.

[They can attempt to respond, but there is no reply as usual. The message itself be completely illegible to anyone who isn't a Black Order member.

OOC: This is the mission for the Black Order for February! Like any of the missions, it's up to you how your character wishes to proceed. It is also up to you if you want your character to disclose mission details to non-black order characters, though the Order itself tends to be secretive.

All Black Order members are receiving the same mission, so if you need to opt out, that's okay! We can just say your character is patrolling the city for the month while other members deal with it.]

[infezione]

Miss Velvet, can I ask you something?

[A pause before he adds--]

Completely unrelated to the whole therapy thing in the group chat.

[gotbadblood]

Hm? What is it?

[infezione]

You know how to cook, right? Would you be willing to teach me? I never learned and I figure it's something I probably should.

[gotbadblood]

[Well, that catches her by surprise. There's a slight pause before she responds]

Yeah. I was in culinary school before I joined the Order. Not that I graduated though.

[Surprise, not only did she go to school it was for something NORMAL]

Are you sure you want me teaching you though? I'm rusty and I can't taste my own cooking, so I don't know if my skills are what they used to be.

[switchaxe]

or you can just take "no" for an answer and not touch my shit!

[gotbadblood]

[Well that sure earns the biggest eyeroll]

Then try acting like an actual adult!
We're already doing a favor for you by letting you stay in that crappy RV despite your age.
But if you keep refusing to take care of yourself properly, eventually someone's gonna intervene.

[switchaxe]

I'm alive ain't I? just because I can't cook doesn't mean I can't take care of myself

[gotbadblood]

Ash, you know I was going to culinary school before I got turned into a demon right?
That I LOST my ability to taste because of all this?

And you wanna keep acting like you're hot shit because you keep refusing to learn how to cook?

[ while Jinwoo is absolutely a habitual nocturnal person, his ten years of experience with it has at least taught him to not text people at 2am, which is basically mid-evening for him.

Vel will get a short, but probably concerning message from her new-old co-worker at about 6pm. ]

I hate to bother you after I have just been reassigned here, but.
I think I need help.
Help that I think I can really only go to you for.

un: velvet

[gotbadblood]

[Well well. She wasn't expecting a text from Jinwoo, much less one asking for a favor. And one that only she could do?

Well. She has one guess what that could be]

Who needs to be eaten?

[lowestclass]

[ okay he walked into that
he should have seen that response coming
he'd basically baited it
he's covering his face with a hand. ]

Hopefully...? Noone.
I don't actually want you to eat anyone, I'll get that out of the way...

Something... weird happened. To me.
Let's just say I'm a little more weak to sunlight than usual.

[gotbadblood]

[ ?? ?? ???]

Little more weak to sunlight than usual?
Is that your way of asking if you can borrow my sunscreen again?

I told you, just go for a bottle of SPF 100. Pretty sure Walmart carries it. Just make sure it's a legitimate brand and not the cheapest stuff on the shelf.

[rockily]

I'm fine, Velvet. Everything is perfectly fine.

No need to track them down and eat them.

1/3

[gotbadblood]

[Velvet was in the middle of STRAPPING EVERY WEAPON TO HER BODY AS POSSIBLE so there's a delay]

2/3

[gotbadblood]

[Oh her phone keeps making noises.

It's Eizen.

With a minute left.



Oh.]

[gotbadblood]

[Brb making a quick call to CALL OFF THE STRIKE TEAM]

Cutting it a little close aren't you?

[rockily]

[ oh my god velvet. velvet please. he adores you so much. ]

Sorry, I got caught up in something.

[gotbadblood]

Figures.

[Probably talked about nerd stuff didn't he]

How'd it go?

[switchaxe]

hey Vel I got a question

[gotbadblood]

What is it Ash?

[switchaxe]

you're a goth or goth enough lesbian

[Insert a picture of Zero]

is she attractive to goth lesbians y/n

[Lapis wouldn't elaborate and now she's on the boat to HQ. Fine, she and the others were fresh out of Murder Cabin, she'd be good for once and not pry.

A bit has passed since then and Eunie was now lifting that restriction and besides, she threatened to come over the first weekend of the month anyway and she didn't want to give Velvet a reason to get out of it.

So with no prompting, there would be a little white bird outside of Velvet's window... lightly pecking at the surface. Behind it, a familiar voice and intentionally terrible bird impression.]

Caw caw, Vel.

[gotbadblood]

[Since getting back from the cabin and that encounter with Jusis and Eizen, Velvet has mostly reclused herself in her place. Her place that Eunie can see through the window...is pretty baren. You'd think someone had just moved into the place rather than been living there for ten months. Only an armchair and a small end table sat in the living room, an armchair that Vel had been half-dozing in.

She's roused by the tapping on her window. At first she does think its a normal bird, and stares at it with a faraway expression ("Why do birds fly?").

But then Eunie gives that terrible bird impression, and Vel realizes what's really going on. Ah. Right. She should've expected this eventually.

She gets up from her arm chair, walking over to the window and opening it up. Let's get this over with]

What is it Eunie?

[medicgunner]

[Birds fly because Eunie doesn't want to drive in the states, Velvet. But then again, she has a motorcycle now. Maybe she should try.

Once let in, she shifted in an isolated cluster of wind into her regular form, tugging at her loose, normal plumage to put it back into place. Some down may have fallen to the floor, but considering the way Velvet's place looked you could call it adding some flare to the place.]

... You live like this? We're going shopping for this place sometime, gotta give it some bloody life. [r/malelivingspaces looking ass. Eunie was not a redditor but she's seen some shit cross her feeds, okay? But she wasn't here to grill Vel about that.]

I told you I was gonna come by over the weekend. [She shook her head, expression turning serious and getting straight to the point.]

What happened with you and Lapis?
