New Office

The office walls are enveloped in a strange, fleshy pink substance. A closer look and you can see movement, and you will be astonished to see that faces, hands, limbs, body parts in general are moving just underneath this fleshy pink skin like substance. They seem to be trying to push through the wall. Cages are set in each corner of the room, skeletons in each of the kages taking a pose that signifies they probably died horribly. The furniture is of gothic medieval style, lots of dark purples and black. The room is light by torchlight, giving off the eerie torture dungeon like look.

Walking through the halls after coming from the hospital, he looked around curiously. Whoever decorated this place had a deep love for the darkly dramatic scenery. He stopped at the final door and scanned over it briefly then knocked loudly so as he was sure anyone inside would hear it.

After receiving no answer, Surp decided to summon a small chair from one of his odds and ends scrolls and sit down in the hallway. He didn't really care to go immediately back into the hospital with all the girls. He wasn't much for small talk. At least, not without sake. So he sat comfortably waiting for the kage to return and dozing off now and then.

He had come walking down the hallway. His staff was overly eager it seemed to have him back. Did they fear him? Putting on a false charade or were they just so infected by his demonic presence they became lust stricken. It was always hard to tell. Then again this whole village seemed to be alive when Reikon was within its walls. Even the walls themselves. He smirked, as his guess was correct. He could see Surpentheon Fanglord sitting in a chair out in the hallway. That must have been the sickening healing presence at the hospital earlier. No doubt a jutsu or something of some sort. Not that he didn't appreciate it when he needed a good healer, but wounds he thought were better to let the life drain then they were to force them close.

He approached the Sannin with a smirk. Hope you weren't stuck here too long my friend. A bit of a slow group I was traveling with. Besides wouldn't want you to go getting influenced with bad habits by my lovely village. He opened the door to his fleshy working chambers and took a seat behind his desk, waiting for Surp to follow. He spoke aloud So what brings a Sannin so close to the Akafuzen? He sat silent now, awaiting Surps response.

Surp blinked his eyes open as he sensed and heard Reikon coming closer. He peered at the man he knew as a boy. To Reikon though, he'd most likely seem as young as always but his presence like Reikon gave off a certain vibe that make people respect Surp. "No, no. Of course not. I actually got some rest here. Queit place it is." He looked around quickly as if it might have change while he rested then stood and followed Reikon into the office.

As he walked in behind Reikon, he peered at the fleshy walls and continued to speak. "And to tell the truth, there's a part of me that finds this place to be quite excellent in its manner." He right arm seemed to twitch just then and over it surged a small charge of electricity. "But yes, to business. I'm here because there are some things I'd like to discuss."

He nodded, understanding surps twitch and smiling. How they have known each other, for many ages, both stuck in a state of unmoving time. Quite the bore at times, but the humans and their sinful habits keep him occupied. Well you know me. If it aint straight to the point then I'll make hidden motives. So whats this business?

"First off, I thought I'd tell you why I'm here." He takes a seat by the desk and smiles. "I'm here to collect my new pupil. I'm hoping it won't be too long till I leave. I also want to make sure you know I have no intention of causing any problems." He leaned forward after this and his smile faded. "But my intention of coming to your office was in hopes of getting some information. I'm hoping that you could divulge it to me."

He raised an eyebrow. Even if it was in his village, his demonic nature was kind of disappointed that he wasn't here to cause trouble. This new topic however rekindled that flame within him. He leaned forward to, mocking the actions of an excited small boy sharing the secrets of his childhood friend. My friend...your are talking to me, a man who never turns down an opportunity to stur things up. He sat back in his chair, relaxing visibly. What is it that you seek?

"First, I wanted to know if the rumors are true and the Akafuzen have us Sannin on their hit list. Second, I wanted to know if one of your members goes by the name of... Ashi." He stayed seated firmly in his chair as he spoke, but the last word he uttered seemed to stall on his lips as if they were bitter words.
