~My Killer Boss, My Killer Boss~

[Lily Rosario]

Ah, Lily had always wanted to come to Esparia! The PROBLEM, however, was the tattoo on her boob. Of course, that could be solved relatively easily, as she wore a shirt that didn't reveal her collarbone and such, covering the tatt as well. Problem solved, alchemy hidden! Anywho, why was Lily coming to Esparia? Well, obviously because Takatori had wanted her to see him there. WHY, Esparia, she didn't know, and she didn't even know why he wanted to see her. But as he WAS Takatori, she couldn't refuse him, now could she? So here she was, on a boat. In her cabin. Waiting until she got to Esparia from Creta. "I'M ON A BOAT!~ I'M ON A BOAT!~ EVERYBODY LOOK AT ME, BECAUSE I'M SAILING ON A BOAT!~" Lily carried on shouting these song lyrics until the boat reached Esparia. Along with "I'm On a Boat", by the Social Continent, she sang "Sexy and I Know It", "Like a Bawss", "I Kissed a Girl", and numerous other songs that played on the radio. Pretty soon, she had arrived at her destination, and departed the boat. In the mood for some AWESOMENESS, she tracked down someone who offered tiger rides as a cab service, and she rode a TIGER to where her and Takatori were to meet at. HOLYOMGTHATWASAWESOOOOOOME. Grinning at her violent boss, she looked up at his face, which was like, at LEAST a foot taller than her's. "Hellooo~ Takatori. Is there anything I need to do for you, today?"

Ahhhh Esparia.... Land of the sun, hot babes, drinking, and relaxation. Perhaps he should have set up his base here as opposed to crotchety ol' Creta. Who was he kidding? He'd have to fight for land rights, AND pay for a new building! What kind of bullshit would that be? Who knew how their head honcho would like that anyways what with their guilds and... whatever other shenanigans happened here. Besides, those Amazonians might not like his antics of strip dancers and whatnot. Warrior women, who could tell what the fuck they were thinking of? ANYWAYS, enough about women lest he stare at that smoking brunette to the left of him as he stood there by the bar. The ocean was cresting none too far from him, the crashing waves oddly soothing to the chitterings that normally plagued his brain. MUAHAHAHAHA HE HAD BEATEN THEM! About fucking time... He seriously thought he might have started some trouble in Western Amestris otherwise and as much fun as war was, he would soon lose interest then end up with the aftermath which would only seek to annoy him to no end.

Nodding to that sexy lady, she gave him a once over with a faint smirk before walking away. Oh yeah, she totally digs me. He thought to himself as he chuckled softly to himself, sipping that martini in his hand with utter delight. He was, of course, shirtless to show off his ripped torso, black swim trunks covering his lower half. He had been tempted to wear a speedo buuuuut.... Those always looked fucking ridiculous. Didn't matter if you had the body to pull it off, which he certainly did, it was fucking dumb. But he was getting distracted from surveying the.. hehehe... lovely scenery. Adjusting his eyepatch, he was just watching a pair of ladies walk by when he suddenly heard from below, "Hellooo~ Takatori. Is there anything I need to do for you, today?" Grrrr... WHO THE FUCK WAS-- Turning ever so slowly to face the small fry next to him, he stared cooly down at the girl until he recognized her as one of the Deadly Duo, those twins. Her name was.... Lily. Yes. Ok, he wouldn't deck her for coming up behind him. Bitches didn't do that. They ended up punched. "Ah, Lily, excellent. Glad to see you finally got here."

He emptied the rest of his glass and placed it back on the bar, straightening up from his relaxed stance against the bar. Now what was it he had called her here for.... Oh yes. "I want you to tell me who is the hottest woman here." Wait a minute, that wasn't right. He chuckled and turned is singular grey gaze down to her level which seemed so far beneath him. "Heh, just kidding. What I called you down here for is to talk. We haven't really talked since I brought you on and I like being able to converse with my people." Yeah, that was more like it. Snapping his fingers, the bartender slid two drinks towards him, handing her a piña colada (that did indeed have alcohol in it) while he sipped at his own. He was a manly man who gave no fucks what he drank. If he wanted to drink it, then he would. Nor did he give any fucks about giving drinks to minors, the kid was close enough. "So tell me about you and your sister. I trust those last two jobs I gave you were easy enough?"

[Lily Rosario]

Taking a seat, Lily nodded. "Long boat ride, from Creta." As Takatori spoke again, this sort of threw Lily off a tad. So THAT was what he needed her to come for? Odd reason, but fair enough. Putting a tiny bit of thought into it, Lily pointed over to a lovely blonde that had just walked in, her bikini helping to show off quite a bit of sexy. "Probably, that one ove-" OH! He'd been kidding. Well then, that made a bit more sense, didn't it? "Oh, okay! Man, Takatori, I thought you were serious. Hehe~" With a little chuckle, she accepted the drink and took a sip. Lily wasn't TOO heavy of a drinker, but hey, when in Tiberia, do as the Tiberians, eh? Or however that old saying went. Though in modern day Tiberia, Cilligia, if Lily drank as much as most of the people she knew, BAD THINGS WOULD HAPPEN. But oh well, this is Esparia~

"Yeah, we really don't talk very much... That isn't normally a very good relationship for an employee and her boss, is it? Hehehe~" Indeed, it was not very good. Employees and employers really needed to do more things together, so as to make fanatic enviromentalists go away. Somehow. Unless the business was composed entirely of hippies, in which case working together would be suicide. Literally. Hmm... This is off topic. BACK ON TOPIC, THEN!! Lily took another sip of this LOVELY Esparian beverage as Takatori spoke again, making her a tad thankful she wouldn't have to start the conversation. TAKATORI SOMETIMES SCARED HER. And being the first to speak to him in a conversation was generally composed of hoping you say something he likes. Or she could be exaggerating. OR NOT. Anywho~ "Brother~" WELL THEN. Were Lily NOOOOOT under his employ, this would have probably been a SUICIDAL questioning of his useage of nouns! But then again~ "And those jobs were pretty easy. Kinda fun, actually~ Did you know that the businessman-type guy we took care of second was a pedophile? I made sure that he felt the rope, before me and Luke gave the Flying Daggers to him~" Ah, flying daggers... Definitely one of the deadliest alchemical tag team moves out there. Hehehe.... Just the thought of the age-old method of Luke shockwaving Lily's transmutation materials at the precise minute she transmutes them into knives, it brought a mischievous grin to Lily's face. The best knifethrower in the best circus in the world paled in comparison to the pinpoint accuracy of the Deadly Duo...

"Long boat ride, from Creta." Words he didn't give two shits--- Well, that was actually the fucking truth. Then again, he had at least distracted himself with that engineer down in the pipes.... something about making her hot... Hehehehehe, aw... His brain jumped to Patience for he KNEW that was something she would have pulled had she taken a long trip such as this and instantly, all happy remembrances of that boner were gone. Sad dick was sad. Fuck that voodoo bitch. She wasn't gettin' none of his shit! But in any case, distractions were required and boy were there plenty. He was rather amused at Lily's apparent taste in women as he gave the blondie a once over as she walked by from the beach into the open bar. Gotta love those little porch like bars that Esparia had! He couldn't remember the right name for them, so he took a sip of his drink to help banish it away further! This was a time for relaxation, not fucking fucking fuck's. "Oh, okay! Man, Takatori, I thought you were serious. Hehe~" He smirked as a rumble grew in his chest which was actually a chuckle, "I have that effect on people." And that was because he trained them to. He was so very unpredictable and prone to violent outbursts which meant people never really knew just how to act around him. She was doing well so far. But who knew how long that would last?

There came a cheer from a group of students nearby which drew Takatori's gaze, raising an eyebrow as he watched the stupid little people do their stupid little things. Oooo that boy was going to regret that tomorrow morning... "Yeah, we really don't talk very much... That isn't normally a very good relationship for an employee and her boss, is it? Hehehe~" She was a chatty one, wasn't she? Whatever. So he merely nodded once and took another sip, his grey eye lowering to the transgender girl beneath him. "Brother~" His eyebrow ever so slowly raised at the correction, a coldness immediately coming over him. His fingers twitched at his side while his other hand tightened on the glass, tilting his head ever so slightly as he listened with reservation to the rest of her words. You did not correct your boss. "And those jobs were pretty easy. Kinda fun, actually~ Did you know that the businessman-type guy we took care of second was a pedophile? I made sure that he felt the rope, before me and Luke gave the Flying Daggers to him~"

ARGH FUCKING ALCHEMISTS. Why the fuck had he hired so fucking many of those fucking fucks?! AWEIOgfjauwpeifj aweijfaewlf It shouldn't matter if they are good at their job or not, this was BULLSHIT. Grrrrrrrrrr....... A good fourth of that smoothie was gone in the next moment to cool his head. "Pedophile eh? Good." Cracking his neck, he sighed lightly in thought since he couldn't be having his people be bored on jobs. Had to give them a proper challenge. Especially those fucking alchemists. Bastards. "I better give you some harder jobs then. Can't be having you and your sibling go to waste hm?" His eye glinted at the synonym since... well... He didn't like being corrected. Especially since they were little transgender shits. He was fucking right if one went by genetics. Fuck that shit. "Though, perhaps we shouldn't be talking about jobs considering some of your... methods, aren't really favored here hm?" A rather sinister chuckle rolled out of him as his eye glanced towards a man relaxing with a woman nearby. An Inquisitor. He knew that for a fact. See, even the countries philosophies allied with his own! Sigh.... Why hadn't he had his HQ here?

[Lily Rosario]

INDEED HE DID HAVE THAT EFFECT ON PEOPLE. Whatever that was intended to mean, anyways. Aaaaand it seemed he was pleased with her cleansing the world of one more dirty old candy-man! HOW QUAINT. It ALSO seemed that he wanted to give them HARDER jobs! "Tougher work, eh? Sounds good to me. I was getting a little booooooored anyways." She grinned up at Takatori, thinking TWO thoughts, like Lily does on occasion. Firstly, she was indeed bored with those easy jobs, and harder jobs should be more interesting. PLUS, it was normally a good thing when one was VISIBLY EXCITED to be given more work. Luke, of course, probably wouldn't be as cheerful about it, and he'd probably be rather laaaaaazy, like Luke does. BUT STILL. Lily's own excitement and such should be a good thing, as she was sure Takatori LIKED to have good workers that were both ready to work and good at working.

The second thing she thought of was, WHY IS TAKATORI SO TALL!? Though to be honest, Lily was actually rather short... ANYWAYS. Lily nodded along with his suggestion, as their work was ALSO a tad bit illegal, and her methods were a teensy bit taboo here. JUST A BIT. So she sipped at the drink and glanced to Takatori after a moment. "So how's the whole casino deal working out?"

[Guest]

Huh, well well well the little shit seemed to be catching on rather quickly hm? Bout goddamn time. "Tougher work, eh? Sounds good to me. I was getting a little booooooored anyways." Unfortunately for Lily, her words had a rather invisible adverse effect upon her boss as he stood there before her, an eyebrow slowing raising at the drawn out vowel. That bored eh? Pfft, he might as well send the pair after Reila or some shit with how she was talking. THAT would hardly constitute a boring job. Fucking smartass. But he merely chuckled, closing his singular eye as he finished off his piña colada and placed the glass gently down in front of the bartender, finally turning away from the beach filled with its sexy view. "Aye, tougher. Careful, you show too much enthusiasm and I'll send you after Aurel." His eye opened then, focusing with a steely gaze before it relaxed into another easy chuckle. Let her keep guessing, keep sweating when it came to her boss. He had to give the alchemists a harder time, HAD TO. It was like.. a law or something. Or it should be one for fucks sake.

An unlucky man bumped into the tall Cretan man, drawing an iron grip that brought a gasp of surprise at the passerby. "Oh, fucktard, look where the fuck you're going next time." He snapped, completely unphased by the other stares he was receiving besides the unfortunate souls offended look. Yeah, all wasn't fucking right in paradise now was it? Idiot. His grip dropped and the man was released, just in time for Lily's question, "So how's the whole casino deal working out?" Now that was an odd question to ask ones boss. "Ah you know, business as usual. Revenue has been up since last month, though there are some mice that need to be exterminated." More than one type to be sure. Some little bitch thought it'd be funny to go killing his men. He knew exactly who it was, and why they were doing it. Now the kicker for him was how slick they all thought they were being. But how obvious were they? It was pathetic really. "Some new recruits can't keep up, someone introduced drugs into a couple of the girls, but we have our loyal followers of course." It was now he looked down at her once more with a faint smirk, rolling his shoulders in a stretch.

Water time. Without any warning the tall man took off for the water that was none too far away, letting out a rather loud whoop of excitement as he dove right into the refreshingly warm sea water. He hadn't come all the way to Esparia and not plan on enjoying some of the ocean!

[Lily Rosario]

Lily chuckled, still sipping casually on the drink. Was she purely insane for laughing with Takatori? Truly mad to be taking his every remark and responding, sheerly foolish just for hanging out with him? Probably, definitely, and most likely. "Well, maybe not quite that tough~ Luke and I might be some of the best at or work, but Aurel would probably use us as target practice." Besides, if Lily had a death wish, it wouldn't be fighting Aurel. No, it was MUCH easier to casually converse with Takatori! Which, in iteself, was often considered a death wish... Lily didn't know why, he was generally such a friendly guy.

Giving a glare to the man who bumped into her boss, Lily otherwise ignored the events, or really just didn't react. But then, after asking how his other job was, she nodded. Ah, okay... "Mice, eh? Pesky things, they are. Well, it's a good thing you have a team of good exterminators, eh? Haha..." And the moment she said this, Takatori randomly decided to dive into the water! Grinning, and now laughing, Lily walked casually over to him. "How's the water, Takatori?~"

[Guest]

Ahhhh, now THAT was far more like it! This was what vacations should be made of! So what if he had a glorious pool back home in his casino? The ocean won every single fucking time. No contest. His body floated on the surface as wave after wave pushed him back towards the shoreline, staring in content up at the sky. He was.... at peace. It was rather odd for him considering he usually felt this kinda peace after he had opened some guy up, not during some kind of zen moment like now. It was rather freeing in complete honesty.

"How's the water, Takatori?~"

The voice called him out of his thoughts, back getting pushed rather firmly up onto the sandy bed as children went screaming with their parents towards the water. Ugh. Kids. Fucking hell..... Hopping up like some kung fu guy in the movies, Takatori whipped around and looked down at his young, gender-bending subordinate. "Why don't you join me? Find out for yourself." He couldn't help but chuckle as he reached a hand up and tugged on her wrist, not seeming to really care if she still had her drink in hand or not. And with his mission accomplished, he rushed back out into deeper water with a cackle, diving in with little to no hesitation.

[Lily Rosario]

Oh, join him? Okay, but first Lily should probably get on a bathing suit, and might have needed sun scr- EEP? As she was ABOUT to go beach stuff and then swim in the water when she was ready, Takatori came up to her, grabbed her hand and THREW HER IN THE WATER? Well then... At least the water wasn't that cold? Splish-splash, Lily came up soaking wet and looked around for Takatori, catching sight of him as he jumped back in. Well, the GOOD news was that Lily DID know how to swim! So, floating atop the water in that lazy way that she did, Lily splashed her feet a bit, grinning now. "Water's good, I see. Now if only there were less brats running around...", Lily noted as a rock skipped by her head. Oooh, if she wasn't in Esparia! Those punks would be pinned by their sleeves to a tree! As a pair of kids swam by Lily, slashing water in her face, and one of them kicking her arm as he passed, Lily casually grasped them each by an ankle and jerked down, pulling them under the water, where she held them for a minute or so, before releasing the cast-iron grip, allowing them to swim away, gasping for air and screaming. No more children bother the two Men in White for the rest of that day...

[Guest]

A booming laugh rang out across the beach as Takatori observed her reaction to suddenly being dunked into the ocean, causing quite a few heads to turn to the pair. There also had to be someone somewhere who inadvertently knew his laughter and was shivering. That was just the effect that he had upon people. He slowed a stop to wait for his subordinate since it was probably a good idea to given the fact he HAD invited her all the way out here and just dunked her in water. He could go tail chasing another time. Maybe. He'd have to see his oh-so-busy schedule. Pfft, anyways.

"Water's good, I see. Now if only there were less brats running around..."

Takatori was less lucky when it came to the skipping rocks, one smacking into the back of his head. His eyebrow twitched as his shoulders raised, resisting the urge to whip around and tear in half whatever fucking brat did that. Ooo, HE FUCKING HATED KIDS!!! It was good to know, however, that Lily at least shared his sentiment towards them, his eyebrow twitching again as he noticed her get knocked around by them as well. What happened next was priceless. One minute the kids were swimming past them, and the next they were underwater with Lily (which could be a very dangerous thing. Some people never came back up). He broke out laughing again just as the kids came bobbing back up to the surface, swimming away with cries of fear and their mommies. Fucking kids..... "Ahh Lily.... You just made my day..." He shook his head slightly, a rather wicked smirk upon his lips. Yes, child cruelty made him giggle, was there a problem officer?

WHACK! Another rock smacked him in the back of his head, a very audible growl coming from him as he turned to face the culprit. His single grey eye was steely, burning with the fires of a restrained rage as he stared at the young boy back on the beach. "Oi oi... You-" "Oh mi dios lo siento tan sobre él... Él hace lo que él quiere a todo el tiempo…" Hel-looooo hot mama! Though he had NO idea what words came out of her mouth. Walking closer to shore, the tall man placed a hand on his hip, looking down at the trembling child and his sun-kissed skinned mother. He knew only one thing of what he'd say would vaguely translate. "No problemo." He waved a hand dismissively with a charming smile, ruffling the kids hair before diving out into the ocean. arrrghhh, damn kids... damn language barriers... Anyways, "Oi Lily! Shall we go look for some toys?" He called, ignoring the stares that the words drew. When he said toys, he meant something entirely different from what they expected.

[Lily Rosario]

Lily couldn't help but grin her own wicked grin as Takatori found her methods amusing. "Ah, kids. Nasty little brats, aye?" And as one speaks of the devil, so he shall come; this time, in the form of a rock knocking her boss in the back of the head. Normally, this would have amused Lily, but she knew, respected, and somewhat FEARED Takatori, and definitely understood that a Takatori scorned would rip a woman scorned in two and spit on her scorned halves, sew them back together, and burns her... So she merely followed behind Takatori, like a good puppy. And as it seemed, when a rather lovely lady spoke and he listened, he didn't know much Esparian. Well... LILY DID!~ "She said, 'Oh my God, I am so tired of him! He only does what he wants!" Smiling a pretty smile, she did indeed note another use of her's to Takatori; she DID in fact, speak a few languages, some of them rather fluently. But now wasn't the time for apparently...

"Toy hunting, eh? Sure, I'm in~ Now, where might one find these 'toys', Takatori boss-man?"

[Guest]

Takatori was almost rather startled when Lily popped up and translated the lovely woman's Esparian for him, but the moment had come and gone for him to try to slip into her bed. "She said, 'Oh my God, I am so tired of him! He only does what he wants!" Ahhhhahaha..... That does make sense. "What a good little boy." He muttered softly, smirking as he looked down at Lily. He made a mental note to warn her and her brother about being at HQ when they got back. There was a change in the winds, and he hadn't been oblivious to them at all. So he may as well enjoy this last vacation that he would ever have in this country he had never been to before now.

"Toy hunting, eh? Sure, I'm in~ Now, where might one find these 'toys', Takatori boss-man?"

Ohhh what an EXCELLENT question. Chuckling softly, he placed a hand on the young boys shoulder, the gleam that passed over his eyes rather... chilling. "Why, the black market of course. Come now, where else did you think we would go?" His grip tightened ever so slightly upon Lily's shoulder before sliding away with a slow easiness to the motion, his strides long in the warm sand. Yes, one last little shopping trip before the end times.
