Hey Kitty Kitty! (Izzy & CB)

Blake watched it happen over the course of a few minutes. "Yeah, you made an innocent man suffer for who knows how long before drowning." She exhaled slowly, remember what her role was. Criminal, plain and simple. That's your assignment, leave the justification on the shore. "I hate the smell of salt water." She groaned, carefully stepping onto the boat.

Blake sighed and held up her arm, not even seeming to care she was about to be poisoned. Then again this was what, the 18th time? "I don't care. Just bite."

Blake didn't even wince as her skin was pierced. The poison stung a little, but it was familiar to her and she sighed. Just count to ten and it would be over. One. Two. Three. And she face planted on the dock of the boat, knocked out cold but very much alive.

The trip was short from Blake's point of view. She was knocked out, hello? When she finally started to wake up she realized someone was standing in front of her. And it definitely wasn't Quinn. Without even waking up, she jumped and kicked the assassin into the water, shaking her head to clear it. She then realized exactly who she'd just hit. "Oh...my bad." She muttered, yawning and looking up at Quinn's little oil rig.

Tiberius was indeed waiting for them. He looked at Quinn and if he could make a facial expression he'd look displeased but his voice was the same as ever. "Quinn the rest should be arriving through the day, I'd like you to verify their entry with no funny business. You know I like things.. peaceful." the last word was said with such cruelty it was almost an oxymoron. He gestured up at an old crane &#!@ pit and said. "It'll be easy to hide in there."

Tib's head then turned on Blake as he asked. "I trust you'll find these accomadations quite a bit more... enjoyable than the last. Also I took the liberty of moving everything here personally. Don't worry everything will be exactly where you left it." Tib walked forward to Blake and said. "Follow me and I'll give you the tour."

Blake followed Quinn up the stairs. So many stairs. Stairs are dumb. Someone should go back in time and kill the guy who invented the stairs. By pushing him DOWN the stairs! Then his wife would marry the man who invented the elevator. Perfectly logical. By the time they'd gotten to the top of the rig, Blake looked up at a gigantic beetle creature. She now had to resist every natural urge she had to jump on him, kill him, and play with the corpse. That's just what cats did with bugs! It's not her fault!

Blake now followed Tiberius into the base, looking around. "So...I'm Blake."

Tiberius smiled she was introducing herself, this is so cute. He tapped his head and said. "Blake Belladonna, part cat, guild assassin, 17, 124 lbs, master of hidden blades and the sword called the Gambol shroud." His head turned to her. "I know who you are Blake. I've known you for 10 years now. Ever since you came to my school and took part in my guild. I am Tiberius, and I am the leader of the guild. I am the leader of HIVE." Tiberius showed her the various rooms the mission room with its state of the art systems and projection systems. It was about the time she got to the bottom of the elevator however all he magic and special abilities were drained from her.

"Welcome to the big times, you are now in the top 20 organizationally in the guild. One of 40 to have ever seen me and lived. Welcome Blake." He opened the door to her room the same as the one in the guild to the last detail, even the hidden items under her bed. Except... one thing was off there was a fan in the corner with strings tied to it blowing in the air.

Blake was so confused at first. The giant beetle knew who she was? And what she could do? And her ancestry? Could he read minds?! Then he casually mentioned that she was in the top 20 and one of the 40 people who have ever seen him and lived. That...that's a thing. Leader of the guild too? That's definitely a...a thing.

Blake followed him absentmindedly as they entered her new room and her eyes nearly bulged out of her head. She jumped under the bed and pulled out her old toy mouse, holding it delicately. They'd even managed to bring this over? She knew it was hers by the scent, and it was in the exact same spot on the floor as she had left it earlier today. That's amazing.

When she saw the fan, she gasped and started pawing at the blowing strings. This is amazing! It's like a string but better! She turned back to her leader, embarrassed and nodded. "Thank you Tiberius. If there's anything you need me to do, I'm ready willing and able." She said, slowly inching her hand back toward her mouse until she grabbed it and then pounched on it, nibbling his ear.

Tiberius watched her play with her toys satisfied with his work. He made his way over and knelt down beside her he petted her head with the back of his hand careful not to injure her with his claws. Tiberius then began to pet her back as he got some string and began to dangle it in the air in front of her. "Oh get it Blake~"

Blake's ears and bow flattened when she started being petted. "You know I'm not actually a pe-" She realized her yarn was being dangled in front of her and immediately started pawing at it to try and grab it. She totally just wanted it back, that's it. It's wasn't cuz she's basically a kitten. That would be embarrassing.
