Roulin watched Cecilia conduct business manipulating her new form to convince the man. When she winked, he turned around and waited for her at the entrance. Her blue form was much more appealing to him, but that didn't need to be mentioned here. Besides, the new skins would only be temporary. Looking at his fake watch which displayed the incorrect time, he sighed. Demios's disguises were something. He'd have to thank him later for both the plan and the palette swaps. Five minutes after Cecilia had exited the lobby with a smile, he looked at the man at the desk. Maybe if Roulin and her were an item, he'd let his jelousy get the best of him and go in their to assault the man. Calming himself, he simply told her, "Thanks for the help, but next time...eh, nevermind..."
And then, there was the room...Roulin hadn't paid much attention to the room being noted as a Honeymoon Suite. He figured that for the most part that it was a room with a bed and a couch. The bed maybe would have light pink or dark red sheets with frills. Just as any tacky motel would have. This suite wasn't like that at all. When Cecilia turned on the lights, he noticed a jacuzzi and a bed, both of which were heartshaped. Roulin's cheek blushed a tone of red that would make one think he's heat based powers were active. "Turn it off! Turn it off!" Roulin cried. He didn't want to wake these people nor did he want to draw attention to this room of rooms. "Oh boy....well, you're right Cecilia. We do get a nice place to sleep...so, who wants to check that bed for stains? I vote not it."
~~~
"As did I. Well, this place is good for running from the law I've heard." Lomoli agreed. Looking around, he picked out a nice hotel. The well-known Venitian. Tall and shiny, it stood above most around it though still it was dwarfed by the business buildings further in the background. "Yeah. That place....let's go. Can't wait to take a shower and...put on the same clothes again. Think you can but us some new clothes with that card?"

Cecilia bit back a snicker when she saw Roulin's reaction to the room. She lightly poked his cheeks. "There's that blush again. I was beginning to miss it," she said in a flirtatious tone of voice as she walked towards the bathroom and peered inside. There was a jacuzzi tub that was smaller than the jacuzzi in the room. It was surrounded by small scented candles giving it a sensual glow. "Bleh!" Cecilia made a face and began blowing out the candles one by one and flipped on the overhead lights. Luckily there was no "mood music" in the bathroom. She poked her head out. "I'm claiming the bathroom first," she said smiling cheerfully at them before she closed the door behind her and locked it. She definitely wasn't checking that bed for stains and since neither was Roulin apparently, that left Demios. She removed her clothing and folded them neatly upon the counter before she started the water up and set it to a temperature that was perfect for her before sliding in and allowing herself to soak for a little while. The bullet wound was gone, but she was sure once she regained her true appearance, it would appear once again. After some time, she decided that it was time to stop enjoying her soak and began to wash her hair and her body. After rinsing off and stepping out of the tub, she dried, using a large towel on her body and using a smaller towel on her hair before she dressed once again. She gazed at herself in the mirror. She liked this appearance, but it didn't suit her. She just hoped that she wouldn't have to remain like this for too long. Sighing, Cecilia walked out of the bathroom, her hair still a little damp, but there was nothing she could do about that. "The bathroom's all yours," she said to her two comrades.

Morgan watched nick as he explained and took the cigarette greatfully, in haling an addiction she hadn't tasted in a few hours and savoring it slowly. his concept was valid, human parents with a mutant child who wanted to keep them safe from the outside by hiding his secret? that was rather mature of one in adolescent years to do. "and your parents they happy now? do you think they would have supported you if they knew?" she asked, Owls weren't the only ones with problems with their parents, it was kind of like having a child with a disability, sometimes the parents would be over protective of the child or reject it completely. It had actually happened to Morgan similarly, although for no apparent reason.

Yeah, Demios's cloaking spell didn't too well hide blushing still. If it did, Roulin may have had just burned through it like a fire through a thick forest canopy. As she poked at his cheeks, he stood there and took it. There wasn't much he could do to hide it so there was no use trying to get out of it now. "Aheh...yeah...sooo um, about this couch?" said the still flustered teen in an attempt to change the subject. Luckily for him, Cecilia had located the bathroom. It was pretty hard to scope out when your senses were too busy being bombarded by the soulful crooning of Marvin Gaye, the bright reds of the furniture's cushoning and covers and the clear, light blue heart shaped jacuzzi that was right in the middle of the floor. The owl of Life didn't protest when Cecilia said she'd take the bathroom first. That was brave on her part because in a place like this, there were few things one would expect to find in the bathroom. He'd rather not dwell on what they were...
Looking at the bed longer now, Roulin had managed to see every in and out of it. Oddly, it was rather clean. Possibly the cleanest bed in the place. The room next door though was....ugh. "Don't worry about the bed Demios..." Roulin spoke as he deactivated his sight, "It's clean. Rather clean at that. Guess it's because couples have to sleep in it." After a few minutes, Cecilia had exited the bathroom, her hair dripping slightly with water. Her scent had became stronger as well. The bathroom had candles in them of course. What else would make the bathroom more alluring? Looking at her in her cloaked form made him think of her as if she was someone else and not the girl he hired. She was still a site, but what made her unique had vanished. Blinking as he walked by her, he noted, "There are clothes in the drawers it seems." Getting himself a washcloth, a towel, a pair of undergarments and some black loungepants, he asked the girl, "Do you like that look more than your Owl form? I can tell from your expression that you don't too much favor it."

Aeon looked at the hotel Moli had picked out and looked back at him. "Okay well let's go" she said to him as they proceeded to the hotel. When he mentioned clothes a part of Aeon wanted to practice her projectory powers but she decided against it. "Yea it's a black card so we don't have to worry about it being declined or anything" she said with a muffled laugh as they continued.
Finally there were at the hotel as they stood in the elegant lobby. "We'd like two rooms that connect if you don't mind" Aeon requested. She figured L would want to stay in a room alone. Perhaps she would get the clothes while Moli showered and by get she meant make appear.

"Cool. Finally, a place to sleep and eat...and gamble! What more can you ask for? Right L?" Moli asked his Herald teacher with a nudge of his elbow. They'd entered the fancy spacious first floor of the magnificent hotel. People were all tossing away money into machines while some were actually getting something out of their ventures. Returning his attention to Aeon, he watched as she handed over the black card to the registrar. Moments later, he returned it to her showing that her account and any assets within had been seized. That wasn't good and the look on the man's face only spoke to them what they could already see.
"Hold on...let me try." Moli took out his credit card and gave it to the man only to have the same thing happen to him. His Visa card was rejected also because the money in his account was seized. The hell was going on here? "What the f---what's this crap? Our cards won't work!"
"Well, Lomoli Presidiomni, it might be because you're a terrorist. Did you think of that? Each one of you are. Except for that tall sleepy looking guy. He's with you two so he's either a hostage or a conspirator." And with that being said, the man reached beneath the desk and pressed a button that rang a silent alarm. The machines stopped. The music stopped. The large fountain just a few meters behind them had stopped. It was time to go.
"Yeah. Aeon. L. I think it's time we leave..."

Aeon looked at the man as her card was denied. How was that? They've never had this happen before. When he said what he had said, she looked at Moli. Before she could say anything they were surrounded. "Damnit" she said as she reached for her thigh and pulled out her gun holding it to the man's head. She would try to use him as leverage to get out of the hotel alive.
"Moli...let's go" she told him as she held the man in her possession and continued to walk. Too bad the people who surrounded her didn't care at all about his life, as they began to shoot towwards them. Kicking the man in his back, he stumbled forward acting as a human shield. Aeon activated her barrier as it shielded the three owls.

Upon leaving the bathroom, Cecilia saw that Roulin had been the one to check the bed. She approached them before turning and searching through the drawers for something to sleep in. She found a drawer full of female clothing. Quite a bit of it was very revealing lingerie that cause Cecilia's cheeks to tinge a light pink color. She wrinkled her nose, never being the type who wore something as tasteless as this. She did, however find some gray drawstring lounge pants and a light blue cami top along with some modest undergarments. She removed them from the drawer. She had seen a restroom in the lobby area and had planned to take her chances and change there. "Well...I suppose it'll do for a disguise, but I really don't like it. I kind of like standing out in a crowd, to know that I'm probably the only person in the world with blue skin." She tucked a strand of damp white hair behind her left ear. "I'm going to go change in the restroom that's near the lobby area so I don't hog this one anymore tonight," she said. Without another word, she turned, taking one of the keys with her so that she could let herself in when she was done and walked out of the room and towards the lobby. It seemed the manager was taking a bathroom break himself in the men's room. She opened the door to the ladies' room and was surprised to find that it was actually rather clean. Wasting no time, she took the largest stall and quickly changed. The cotton felt good against her skin. If she had been in her true form, the light blue cami top would have made her blue skin really stand out. Gathering her other clothing, she walked out of the bathroom and out of the lobby, back towards the motel room and let herself in again.

Khalifa Marcellus
The copy of Khalifa had been searching for others when he ran into Noel who had been surrounded by others who was planning to leave with her. "Ms. Noel I am but a copy left behind to help others to escape but it seem you have that covered so I will take my leave." It manage to explain and dematerialized returning back to Khalifa who had been chasing after cerberus and the cloud of smoke that hid his teammates. Khalifa had only hoped that his wounds would not reopen since with a little more rest they will be healed, his sprint was not at its peek seeing how he was still injured and in need of rest. Roulin and the others were just as far as his normal vision could see and noticing them stop at what seem to be an hotel or motel of some sort which was obvious seeing the condition they were in. The energy of demios casring a spell was felt by Khalifa and he used it as an target and with an azure flash, Khalifa teleported into their room, collasping to the floor out of fatitude. "Heard yall was looking for me? and for the record, you all look rather weird." He called out tò them teasingly from a prompt position upon a wall, though his flash would have made his appearance obvious.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jaylin LaQuiel
Jaylin couldn't believe how much war and battle is attracted to these teams, he knew that fighting would come when he decided to join the Night Owls but battle after war? This was totally a struggle seeing that many of them were tired and injured but Jaylin was not one for complaining. Through all the commotion, Jaylin fought when nessisary while searching for Elle, he searched for her til the last possible second until he found Noel just before she teleported away, his only worry at this point was that Elle and her sister were alright,

(Khalifa isn't supposed to be with Rou, Cici and Demios at the moment...)
Roulin's hair in the mirror didn't compliement how long it actually was without the cloaking. The true length of his hair was invisible, but he could feel them against his fingertips. In the mirror still, he found nothing but air. The idea was disturbing. What if he was born in another body? A human's body? Would he hate Owls like most humans did? Would he be able to stomach Cecilia's true form the real Roulin was so fond of? Each answer was a resounding no. He knew that just like the people they were against, he would hate Owls too if he were a human. There a few Owls now that he could easily admit to hating and even hating them hurt him somewhat. "Yeah, it's only a disguise thank goodness. I'm tired of looking like an asian yuppie," Roulin said from the spacious, unlit candle filled bathroom, "For christ sake, I can't take this watch off, but I know it's fake...I'm gonna hop in the shower now before I lose it."
After Cecilia left, Roulin began to run the shower. He closed the door and finally started to undress. Beneath Demios's disguise, he couldn't see the dirt, blood and filth that covered his body. It was probably for the better that he didn't see. When he stepped into the shower though, the water was colored a deep brown and a few speckles of black were evident as well. Soot, dirt, gunpowder and gas from the plane incident covered him in a thin veil he couldn't see. Resting his hand against the wall, he relaxed in the controlled storm that was the water shooting in droplets from the showerhead. He couldn't wait to get into the bed or onto the sofa to go to sleep. The tired owl had been through too much in two weeks and now, it was time to rest.
~~~
Moli backed out of the Casino behind Aeon and her human sheild. If him calling them a terrorist didn't make them look bad enough to the general public, Moli was more than sure this would. "I'm right behind you. And sorry you guys. Next time, don't be a d**k dude. Just give us a room or at least a closet to sleep in." After exiting in Aeon's shield, Moli exchanged glances with the two people he was with. "So now what? We can't buy a place and I'm sure everyone knows who we are thanks to past events. Soon, there will be wanted posters of us up. Aeon? L? Where to now?"

((UNS - Amaya))
Amaya had been her usual quiet shy self when they arrived at Jeannie's underground mansion. She spent a bit of time looking around and taking in the view. It was different. The UNS did have some fancy facilities, but this was just different. A mansion in an underground cavern and hidden from view was something Amaya had never experienced. This Jeannie must be very very rich. The girl listened to the conversation between Itachi and Jeannie. The two of them were the more talkative ones. "Thank you," she merely said to the drink and food offered to them. Amaya did not partake in the alcohol though. Otherwise, after a glass or two, her face would be subject to the all too famous Asian flush, a red face even if she wasn't entirely drunk. Even though Jeannie said she wasn't like Amara, Amaya felt that they were similar. Amara was a good friend of Amaya's after all. She couldn't help but wonder how Amara and the other people were doing. She had finally seen Amara again at Che's house, but never got to interact with her.
---------------------------------------------------
((Other - Genya / NPC - Annie))
"No you don't!" Annie replied emphatically when Daryle claimed he won the singing rivalry hands down. Before the blonde lady could even get up to answer the doorbell, Daryle had breezed off and paid for the pizza and maybe sort of shut the door in the delivery guy's face. "Ah, lounge You're already settled in it anyway!"
As if on cue, Genya gingerly made his way downstairs at this point. He could pick up the smell of pizza. Oh, that smells good. The Alchemist Owl was donned in female clothes. It was lucky that Annie had chosen items that weren't too blatantly girly. Genya was in a dark blue "Yale" hoodie and gray "Georgetown" sweatpants. Ironically, both of the universities mascots had bulldogs.... Fortunately, Annie had not chosen pink clothes. The other choice, her brother's clothes would have looked so oversized on Genya that the boy would seem to be drowning in clothes. Annie's brother were both about six feet tall or higher. Genya was a mere five feet. "Ari--Thank you, Annie." Genya said.
"Ah! Genya! You look cute! Just in time too! There's Hawaiian pizza and vegetarian!" Seeing a slightly confused look on the Japanese boy's face, Annie grinned. "Hawaiian is pineapple and ham, Daryle's favorite! Better get some before he eats it all!" Annie had drinks ready, tea, water, juice, soda, whatever they wanted to drink. She shoved a slice of pizza on Genya's place. "Well, eat up and then it's sleepy time!" Annie herself wasn't very hungry, but she took a really small slice. Maybe someone might make fun of her for being scared of her weight.
"Oohh. Pineapple and ham?' Genya blinked as Annie shoved a piece on to his plate. "Itadakimasu!" he said with clasped hands as he dug in.
((Itadakimasu = I gratefully receive, you say this before a meal
Gochisosama = Thank you for the meal))

Nikolai chuckled at Morgan, sighing and taking another hit from the cigarette and saying, "They should be happy. I send them a few thousand dollars every month. I don't know what they would have done if I told them. It's difficult to tell your parents something if you can hide it. What am I gonna say, 'Hey ma, hey dad, I'm a freak, I can manipulate shadows.' It just wouldn't go over well." Nik noticed the burning filter on his cigarette and dropped it, crushing it under his shoe. He glanced at Morgan again before saying, "I don't think my parents would be the kind of people to hate someone because they were born different. Then again, I suspect they figured out what I was when I decided to join the circus, threw them for a loop, honestly. A wandering circus made up of Owls, especially in Russia, is a bit of a clue. We were more like a wandering circus of criminals than carnies, though there isn't much difference." Nik chuckled and had one of his shadows grab another cigarette from Morgan, he wasn't about to quit after just one. Lighting it and breathing in, Nik sighed and said, "We finally disbanded when they managed to catch half our guys at a bar after one of our shows. Normally we pack up and leave right away, but it was the new kid's birthday and they figured serving homemade moonshine wasn't enough, they had to go and get some of the good stuff... Long story short, a few of us made it out, others not so much. I'll give you the full story some other time." Nik sighed and glanced over at Bailey for a moment before saying, "Whoever you're worried about is probably just fine. We'll meet back up with them eventually." Nik concentrated on the shadow bubble, making sure it was stable and headed for its destination, everything was going just fine, they'd arrive soon.

Cecilia felt a small twinge of pain upon the upper part of her chest and winced as she touched it. She could still feel the bullet wound. Because of the cloaking of her disguise, she could not see the blood, but she could feel it upon her fingertips. She hadn't noticed it before because her disguise seemed flawless and the last thing she had been thinking about were her wounds. She pulled a kleenex from the tissue box, which was used for...she definitely didn't want to think about it, and touched it to her wound. Sure enough, when she drew the tissue back, there was a sizable spot of blood on it. She grimaced and threw the tissue away in the small trashcan near the door. After that she sat down and drew her knees up to her chest, allowing her damp hair to spill forth over her shoulders. If Roulin or Demios wanted to sleep here, she would give it up for them.
She was not picky about where she slept. She looked towards the bathroom door behind which, Roulin was. Despite all of the hardships he had faced, he still kept fighting. She admired him for that. She thought of Moli's words. Yes, she did like Roulin. Yes, she wanted to tell him. But another part of her was afraid of the rejection that might come with his response. It was clear that Roulin liked her as a friend, but what if that was as far as he was willing to go? She mentally shook her head. She didn't want to think about it tonight and she definitely didn't want to burden Roulin either. She would tell him when the time was right.

Demios sighed as he went to the area with the couch and decided to get a look around. After he looked around a bit he returned to Cecilia and smiled "Why don't you and Roulin sleep in here, I'll take the couch" He said. He knew the two probably wanted some time together and he couldn't blame them. After that he went back to where the couch was to set it up for bed. He then sat down and sighed and closed his eyes he knew they needed to get some sleep soon, but he didn't want to sleep quite yet.
