Some news (Virtues)

[Gyoro and Ururun]

Sairou had called a meeting of the Virtues again; he needed to warn them of what was going to happen. He had decided to hold it on Miirescha, where it would be safe and he had made sure there was a protection spell put up.

Sairou sat at the table, holding Hiro's hand and so grateful he was so supportive.

Amaryn was the first to arrive. She looked around. "Damn, how lame, I'm early," she said jokingly.

[Jess]

Sayuri appeared in swirling clouds of black and grey, sitting down. She didn't speak and she seemed even more subdued than usual. Her usually beautiful pale skin was tinged with a worrying grey, and her eyes were a faded red.

Next was Halo Huy; appearing through the door in her usual, down-to-earth way. "Hey guys~ Glad you didn't start the party without me." she grinned, sitting down opposite Sayuri.

[Sparkling Star]

Helena appeared silently and sat down with a smiling hopeful expression on her face. She smiled at the others and leant against the wall. Anya arrived with bandages across her wrists and neck. She sat next to Helena.

[Gyoro and Ururun]

Sairou looked around, noticing Sayuri and Anya's problems. "Are you guys alright?!" Sairou asked.

Fuyuko appeared in an array of feathers and dropped down next to Sayuri.

[Jess]

"Just been thinking a lot lately." Sayuri smiled. "It drains me. Don't worry about it."*

"Yo Anya, what's with the bandages girl?!" Halo said, looking confused. "Did something get you?"

Huikun arrived, smiling gently at everyone before sitting near Fuyuko and Sayuri.



*AN: If you're confused, since thinking shouldn't affect the Virtue of Intelligence, I think she's been thinking overtime about something she can't change.

[Sparkling Star]

Anya looked up and rubbed her neck. "I got too close to the Sin of Murder...." she muttered since Eve had been hiding so well Anya had been the first Sin she'd run into.

[Gyoro and Ururun]

Sairou looked worried. "We'll need to be more careful..." Sairou said.

Solon had come in with Kelsa without being noticed. "Aww, Sayuri, you need ter stop thinkin', smarty pants," Solon joked.

Esther walked in and sat down, smiling at everyone.

[Jess]

Halo nodded at Anya. "At least the wounds weren't serious right?" she said, concerned.

Sayuri made a face at Solon. "Whatever. Something's been worrying me lately, that's all."

[Sparkling Star]

"No just a scratch or three but I've taken some toddlers on and I don't really want them seeing the marks you see." Anya explained. She nodded to Solon with a smile. "Hello Solon, how are you and Kelsa doing?"

[Gyoro and Ururun]

"Thinkin' about a man, eh?" Solon grinned at Sayuri.

Solon smiled at Anya. "It's going well, clearly those Blackstar dweebs know when to stay away," Solon said.

[Jess]

Sayuri blushed angrily. "When have I ever thought about anything like that?!" she snapped, turning away.

Kelsa nodded at Solon's answer. They'd had no trouble.

[Sparkling Star]

Akira and Takashi arrived soon after Anya and they stood at the back, neither having had much look with the Furies

[Gyoro and Ururun]

Solon chuckled. "Hey, jus' jokin' with yer," Solon said.

[Jess]

Sayuri ignored him, gulping down any retorts. Usually she'd take everything Solon said with a large pinch of salt, but he'd hit a nerve.

"Is everyone here?" she said, standing up. "Just checking..so Sairou can speak. We can discuss other matters afterwards."

[Sparkling Star]

Laelia arrived and moved to sit next to Helena.

Anya looked over at Sairou. "Is there any news from the Gods?"

[Gyoro and Ururun]

Sairou nodded at everyone having arrived. "Now we can start...well, it appears another God has gone missing...and we believe it has something to do with the Sins, but I have no other information," Sairou said.

Esther's head perked up. "Oh! I witnessed Lust making someone disappear once...I could look into this matter for you, no probs...I have a trusty team of nosy friends...we can work together," Esther said.

[Jess]

Halo cursed loudly, shaking her head. "I nearly got fucked up by one of them!" she said, her pride still obviously hurt from the run-in. "I had to scarper. So annoying!"

Sayuri looked more worried than ever; Huikun just nodding, thinking deeply.

[Sparkling Star]

"Some of them don't seem to be causing trouble" Anya said. "I've seen Pride around and she hasn't been up to much. Naturally Murder's doing the rounds. Those Furies are just cruel"

[Gyoro and Ururun]

Amaryn looked like she had a bad taste in her mouth. "I spotted Lust in a bar...I didn't know whether he was kissing some vampire or fighting them...but it was the former and I left before I could be further scarred for life," Amaryn said.

"Hmmm, well, anyway, I called everyone here for a reason, so I had better explain. I'm going to have to ask that my slack be taken up between you...I won't be in my right mind for a while," Sairou murmured, before explaining the whole story.

[Jess]

"What in all hells!" Halo said, her eyes brimming with tears. "Saiii! Why didn't you tell us earlier?!"

Sayuri looked upset as well, looking down at the table.

[Sparkling Star]

Helena looked at Sairou. "You will get better, I know you will"

Anya nodded. "We'll do all we can to help"

[Gyoro and Ururun]

"I'm sorry, it just wasn't something I wanted to share...I suppose part of the curse was paranoia, because I've never been scared to tell people stuff before," Sairou said.

"I will be better and remember everything eventually, until then...bear with me...I don't know what I'll be like...probably annoying..." Sairou said.

[Jess]

"We'll be here for you mate." Huikun said seriously, speaking for once. He nodded gravely. "I'll support you all I can.

"Count me in with that!" Halo said enthusiastically, chiming in. "I'll help ya anyway I can!"
