In this particular seedy tavern, people liked to talk, as well particular services and gifts being exchanged if you had enough gold. The Harmony Nest only lets someone in if they had a black pass, which meant that they had something to offer. The black pass was something akin to a little black letter, which had a bloody fingerprint that had a particular scent that you couldn't find anywhere else. At random times in the day, ladies, and even handsome men got in for free, with the most that they could offer being themselves, even if they weren't an escort.

From the outside, it looks welcoming, homey and clean. Small stones and stone beams make up most of the building's outer structure.
It's impossible to see through the high windows, but the inviting music from within can be felt outside. The tavern itself is packed. Workers seem to be the primary clientele here, which is probably the best clientele for the owner. Several long tables are occupied by locals, travelers, foreigners and anybody else who wishes to join. The other, smaller tables are also occupied by people who seem to be close to the owner, though they happily welcome others among their midst. Even most of the stools at the bar are occupied, though nobody seems to mind more company.

But even with the welcoming atmosphere, the well-dressed muscle men with their orders stood around the outside walls like guard dogs.



"As long as you got the money, I got the goods.."

Lagi would say with a small snicker as he whispered in the ear of another companion that seemed interested in what he had to offer.

And why not? The Dark Hand's EL Ragu was a knockout.

Lestacia had been working at Wolfspeak inn nearby as a barmaid. She made a decent living and got a free room out of it so the setup was nice. She was good at her job. Her innocence attracted those that wished to corrupt it. Lestacia of course was oblivious to all these men's advances. They didn't know that. They thought she was just playing hard to get, and that made them want her even more. However whenever people approached her even about the idea of sleeping together, she'd get embarrassed and run away. Which made it even more of a challenge. Lest had accidentally made a name for herself simply because of her personality. Men would frequently try their hand at Lestacia in the inn and fail every time. Today however she wasn't able to work. She needed to gather info about her mother.

A couple days ago her grandfather sent word that her mother was within the area of Kou communing with someone. If that happened to be true then she needed to gather information. There was only one place to go if you needed it. The Harmony Nest. Problem was she didn't have a pass. However she had remembered that a couple of the men that worked there had been frequent patrons at the inn she worked at. Hopefully they were working today. As luck would have it they were. She'd approach the men and they'd strike up a conversation.

"Hey! Lestacia, what brings you around here."

"Oh nothing really I'm running an errand for the owner of Wolfspeak..."

"Oh really? Do you have a pass?"

Lestacia would pretend to look for a pass and pretend to be worried. "Oh no! The boss is going to kill me. That was his only one. Is there any way I could get in without one?"

The men smiled lewdly. "I'm sure we could work something out!"

Lest clapped her hands coming up with a plan, not knowing what they were insinuating. "Oh I know! If you let me in, i'll personally deliver you guys free drinks in a private room to yourselves to get drunk to your hearts content."

When she said this, the men thought she was going to join her, but what Lestacia meant was to give them free drinks and a place to crash instead of disturbing and riling the other par patrons.

The men nodded in agreement. "Yeah! That can work." The men let her through into The Harmony Nest. Lestacia thanked them both with a hug.

"Oh Thank you! I promise this won't happen again!" With that she smiled and entered into the The Harmony Nest.

Now that she was inside, she had to find a man. Knowing an establishment like this, it'd probably be a man in some seedy, dimly lit back corner making a deal with someone. However that didn't seem to be easy because there were a couple people currently doing that. The girl seemed to attract attention regardless of where she went. It was a blessing that granted her new friends and a curse that gave her enemies. Simply put the innocent girl would sit at an empty stool a man just so happened to vacate.

"Uh excuse me, could I just get some water please."

"Heh. First timer eh? No need to say anything I could see it on your face. You look like your lost." The barkeep answered. He chuckled to himself. Never had the man seen someone so innocent as she. Lestacia stuck out like a sore thumb. "If your looking to make a deal or find information that guy over there is your man." He said pointing towards Lagi. Lestacia was still wondering how the bartender was just reading her mind when everything was written on her face.

"Uh... thank you." She said politely. Lestacia finished her water before approaching the man.

"Uh... excuse me there sir. I was told to talk to you." She was nervous it was her first time doing anything like this in a place as private as this. "It's, important... well... to me it is. I mean... I'll just stop talking now..."

From the moment that she walked in, Lagi caught a whiff of her smell. His senses were heightened due to the assimilation of his parasitic legend beast, but some good things did, in fact, come from having Orie around. Even before that, Lagi was well aware of each and every conversation that was happening in the room, this kind of environment was the best place to gather information and talk to the right person. It was how Lagi avoided dealing with the middlemen, or at least, made sure that he had contact with people who could carry their weight during business transactions.

However, this girl wasn't anything of the sort, she seemed a bit "out-of-touch" with the kind of environment that this was, making a few promises to a few shady people that Lagi thought was useless from the getgo. Either way, this woman managed to make her way to the bar, in which the master himself pointed her to Lagi's direction. From her innocent demeanor alone, she reminded him of Noir. He didn't want to get too attached, if she had something to offer, Lagi would at least hear her out.

She was shy, and the whole fiasco made Lagi laugh a little in some way. The other male that was talking to Lagi before being interrupted looked a bit disgruntled, but Lagi waved him away.

"Give me a minute, it's not every day an "Eve" find her way in a place full of forbidden fruit. "

With a small chuckle, the man walked away, with Lagi turning to Lestacia.

"How are you supposed to tell me what you need from me if you stop talking? "

Lestacia twiddled her thumbs trying to get her words together. He was right. How was the girl supposed to tell him what she wanted by staying quiet. Lestacia, sighed and got her thoughts together. It was time to be serious. It was something that meant a lot to her.

"Ok to put it plain and simple. I Need Information as to the whereabouts of Telezia Ruella Chesterfield. If you know that is." She was pretty much doubting he knew much about her but it didn't hurt to try anyways. "I know she and an associate were spotted in the area, so if you know anything please tell me!" The girl was passionate about this. She needed any information she could get about her mother. Anything from associates to the man that delivered her mail. She had to know.


"I'm also looking to find some help It won't be easy to take her down..." She kinda looked down embarrassed. This guy was probably going to wave her off. Annoyed by the fact she asked such a ridiculous question. He could ask too much information about their relation and find out she's her daughter and that she wishes to kill her. Or He could know and everything would be fine and dandy. Regardless Lestacia was prepared for the worse.

Lagi remained silent as the woman started to spill her guts and give in a few demands of what she wanted. It seemed to circle around information of some sort, a woman named Telezia Ruella Chesterfield. Due to Lagi's superb hearing, there was a chance that he probably heard the name twice, or even three times. It sounded familiar, but it wasn't due to Lagi's own experience with the woman. At the very least, the associations that Lagi had with others was the only way he could go about finding information about her, climbing down the grapevine of the criminal underworld.

However, taking her down was a whole different story. As soon as it was mentioned to Lagi that Lestacia needed assistance in doing that, he found it a bit unbelievable that this woman could mobilize enough skilled individuals to even have a chance. It wasn't that Lagi was afraid, but he found it risky to step on the toes of others when there is a possibility of doing business with them down the line. To eliminate that possibility over the will of some woman at the Harmony's Nest, she had to have something good for him.

"Listen, I'm not too sure what your name is, but the thing about doing business here is the mutual benefit that you could achieve with the person you start that relationship with. You are asking for a lot, the abundance of information, resources, and possibly the risk of life. When you really weight it in, what you ask from others, you, who doesn't even have an invitation, do you think your body would even be enough to achieve the goals that you want? What exactly do I get in return for helping you?"

He wanted to be nice, but if Lestacia was here, she had to play the game just like everyone else. This simply wasn't the kind of environment to ask for free favors.

What exactly do I get in return for helping you?"

Lestcia was about to reply to the man but choked on her own words. He was right. She didn't have an invitation, she didn't have a lot of money, and there were so few things she could offer. "I guess you're right..." Lestacia said giving a heavy sigh. "I might not have what you need. I would offer my service but what need would their be for a Magician such as myself." She Sighed heavily once more. "If you won't help me fight her I at least need information about any associates she may have. I'll do it myself if I have to!" The woman had not been serious about many things before but this was one of them. "If you are the information broker you say you are then you must know of Telezia! The damage she can do! The Light-Sworn Lady, is no pushover, but neither is her daughter." Lestacia was hoping to win him over with the true amount of damage she could do. It was a scare tactic but the power she was accumulating was problematic. Lestacia needed to slow her mother down. "If you'd like to discuss payment for the information I'd suggest you name your price."

"My name? Well, that's a rude way to go about it. But it's Requiem Jynx, you can call me Jynx for short. A high ranking member of the dark hand decided to hear you out, the least you could do is change your tone. "

Lagi wasn't trying to intimidate a potential business client, but he had the strangest feeling that she still didn't understand where he was getting at. However, the former king remained patient with the lady in the hopes that they could reach some kind of agreement.

"Look, I'm not saying that I won't do it, I just hoped that you approached this situation with more of a business orientated mindset, putting that information in my hands was the best thing you could have said to me, and at the same time, said earlier before your explanation."

So the person that this woman was looking for was her mother? Was Lagi hearing her correctly? That was quite a ways to go about getting even with an individual, but Lagi was in no position to talk negatively about that. Those that were responsible have done so much to bring Lagi down, and he was still going above and beyond his reasonings to take them out.

"Alright, let's get back to the matter at hand. You asked for a price....what if I said that all I wanted was your virginity? Was that something you would be willing to give up in exchange for the information and assistance you needed? "

Lestacia internalized lagi's statement. "M-My V-V-Virginity!" Lestacia covered herself up and turned away from Lagi. She had to think heavily about this. Was information about her mother really so important that she would sleep with a stranger. She blushed heavily just imagining the thought. She wanted her Virginity to be taken by Tsunko, not a man she had barely known for 3 minutes. Her mother, Telezia, was not worth it. Her father, wherever he was watching her from, would certanly not approve of this. Her grandfather, who raised the girl like she was his own would surely not approve of such relations. He wasn't one for caring about the family name, but he'd surely bring up how she would be draging the name Chesterfield through the dirt if what her mother had done wasn't enough.

Lestacia tooka deep breath and regained her composure. Hiro wasn't here to protect the girl this time. She would be on her own, to speak for herself. Lestacia took another deep breath and sighed. "I'm sorry but... sleeping with random people is never on my ist of things to do. I mean don't get me wrong you are extremely handsome it's just..." She blushed a bit more and met his gaze. "There's someone I love very much! He means the world to me, and hurting him just for information wouldn't seem right!" she smiled weakly. "Again I'm sorry. I think I've bothered you enough." She gave him a curtsy and began walking towards the door. To her the cost for that information was a bit too high. She simply couldn't pay it. Granted she could keep it a secret from Tsunko but, secrets of that nature weren't her style. Ontop of that she could get away with it, she needed to find Tsunko in the first place. After the battle she had, it seemed as if he had dopped off the face of the planet. Still she hugged the gothic trinket that she remembered him by. A singular black magical tool she would keep around her for safe keeping. It was her lucky charm of sorts. She'd shed a tear and wipe it away as quickkly as it came. She would find him, for certain!

((OOC:Lestacia is about to leave if you want to stop her you can but she's not the type to sleep around with just anyone. Especially now that Tsunko was introduced to her. =3=))

Lagi paid close attention to girl's reaction, he had a feeling that it would throw her off balance. Of course, it was an unfair thing to ask of her, especially if she was a virgin and probably had a preset of how her first time would go down. Lagi's own first time ended up with a confusing slew of emotions and things he still couldn't understand till this day. However, what Lestacia managed to say surprised Lagi, having someone she loved that she was saving herself for.

Unlike the bastard perverts that Lagi had the pleasure of associating himself with this bar, he actually thought that was a touching sentiment that deserved a proper response Lagi was silent for a moment as Lestacia got up, and knowing very well just how pushy the men could be and not seeing her on his arm, it was likely that they would swoop in like vultures.

"Wait..."

If she came back, Lagi would tap the seat next to him for her to sit down. He was willing to come to terms with the fact that there are some things unreachable, even if he never really wanted in the first place. Lagi was going to give the girl a break, but if she kept walking, that was totally on her.

Lestacia would stop in her tracks and turn around at the man's words. Had he changed his mind? Was he trying to change her's about the sex? Lestacia was confused by the man. Nevertheless she re-approached him and sat in the chair he motioned to. For a moment they sat in silence as she twiddled her thumbs and crossed her legs.

"I sincerely do apologize though for wasting your time. I hope I didn't keep you from any other deals that could have been made?" She looked away from him a little embarrassed. She had just given a speech to him about how much she loved another guy but here she was returning to the seat she walked away from. Was she that naive to fall into his clutches. Maybe. The girl would find the courage to look to Lagi once more. "So what exactly was it that you needed from me to wait? A drink perhaps, or have you decided another way for me to pay you?"

"For starters, stop apologizing. You kind of sound like a broken record player. Now apparently, the deal is too great for you, so I'll just change the terms to something you can agree with. Is that alright? With that being said, your chastity will be intact for your precious lover to be. A happily ever after that occurs when you kill a family member in cold blood. "

Lagi would then fold his hands while looking at Lestacia with a straight face. He had to fulfill his vice somehow, how could this serve his own personal desires for the moment?

"I'm sure with whatever your mother build in the sense of organizations and influence, she managed to make quite a name for herself. The things that she built through the actions and relationships that she made through her criminal organization, I don't suppose you would mind if someone were to pick up the pieces and claim it, no? It's no use to the dead, it'll be better suited to serve the living. Since it doesn't directly affect you, I think it'll be a good deal."

He would just swoop in and take what belonged to her mother, it was the least that Lestacia could offer Jynx if this was to take up a lot of his time and effort.

Lestacia thought it over. It seemed like a good trade. She would have no need for the organization and it's assets once her mother was taken care of. However Lestacia would have to take care of the organization without destroying it completely! That was going to be a first for her. It intrigued her so she decided to go with this crazy plan of his.

"Alrighty that seems fair enough! I'm sure I have no reason to use such an organization." She was right. The girl had no such need for a thing her mother built. She knew her mother wouldn't stay hidden for long and the fact that she hadn't made a move yet scared her. Lestacia needed to act. "So now that payment is in order sir Jynx please, tell me any information you may know about her group, even if there are rumors!"

Sitting up from his chair,  Lagi would then proceed to walk off and escort Lestacia to a separate room. In this particular room, there were a few members of the dark hand playing a card game, unbeknownst to Lest. They looked like regular guys, or even bouncers to say the least. However,  the room was a lot quieter, and it also seemed as if there was no one else entering it, or even allowed to enter besides Lestacia with Lagi's company.    Bringing over two chares to a nearby table, Lagi would reach into his coat and take out a scroll that had a few notes detailed about the organization that Lestacia was trying to topple. "To be honest with you, we were keeping an eye on that woman with the hopes that we could cut a business deal. However, it looks like, through you, we wouldn't have to compromise too much for getting a few goodies."

Once Lestacia sat down, Lagi would begin to explain what he knew about her mother's organization. "There are about 4 generals under her command.  They are stationed in all the regions around the continent. everywhere except Magnostadt. They are called "The Scarred", Yao-Su: The Last Breath is in Kou. He should go down first if we are to topple the leader of the organization.  This is our playing field for the time being, with us being able to go a little crazy due to the fact that the war is keeping everyone occupied.  "
