Darius groaned as he shifted, grabbing his head. Remy was another one of those people that drank almost out of desperation more than enjoyment. Darius had foolishly tried to keep up, and now he was regretting it a great deal.

He wobbled to the bathroom and contemplated curling up in the tub for the next week. Instead he relieved himself and ran the hot water over his head for a few minutes, until he felt like he could move. He removed his contacts and stuck them in the case, rubbing his eyes a lot.

As he made his way back to the living room where he'd passed out, he nearly ran into Remy. "Huh?" Articulation was rarely Darius's strong point, and even less so now.

	"I don't remember her being that good. But whatever. What do you want from us?" He shrugged. Money was no big deal. He had easy access to a lot of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Come to the Ile de Piazza cafe next to the Cathedral. Underneath the potted helianthus will be our list of demands. Your fingers too itchy to not go where they're shouldn't, let's see if you can tire them out." "Don't appear in 30 and we'll open fire on your room." Remy went to the window and waved, blowing a kiss. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darius grumbled. "Dammit. Your pants are going to be too damn long." Good Lord. "This is like a Penthouse letter. And I didn't even get laid." He pouted a little into his coffee cup before draining it. "Alright, so I need to carry a pair of emergency pants when I'm hanging out with you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Would you be offended if I told you you aren't de first one to say dat?" Remy snickered and tossed him a pair before looking for the skeleton set of tools he kept on him at all times. "Roll dem up on de inside, less obvious." First, he had to find a shirt not bedecked in glitter and whatever smells Beyonce and Britney were pushing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Darius snickered a little. "Ass."

But he pulled on the pants, stretching his body to fit them, weirded out at how tall he had to be to fill them.

"Being rubbery? Still rocks."

He was going to be sad when it went away.

Darius inspected his own shirt, wincing at the smell of champagne and mixed perfumes. "God, I must have smelled like a whore last night." Of course, there might be a good reason for that. "I wish other people would keep their fucked up families to themselves. I've got a big enough fucked up family of my own."

But he rinsed his shirt out in the sink, rubbing over it with the bar of soap, tossing it on wet. "Better than nothing."

	"Wit' all due respect, the heads of your big fucked up family don't do organized crime." Remy paused. "Much. Anymore." "Dat is a fun one. Glad de Latin wore off on me," Remy chuckled. "In those joints, everyone ends up smelling like everyone. But yes, maybe we had a peu too much fun..." "It's Italy, you'll dry out by the time we find de place." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darius had no real confidence in that fact, actually. It wasn't beyond belief that Emma would continue to maintain her underworld contacts, and Scott wouldn't let a tool go unused. "Maybe. I dunno. As long as we don't get shot or dismembered, I'm kind of okay with it." He pocketed the cell phone smiling a bit. "Alright, let's go save our asses." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Remy grinned and clapped the young man on the back. "Dat's de spirit! Dey never said we couldn't have fun playin' errand boy."

The cafe was bright and easy to get, getting a table outside was nothing more than a good smile and harmless flirt. Remy ordered some espressos and pastry, to legitimize casually pawing through the foliage.

Darius started to approach where Remy was sprawled out and sipping from a tiny cup. "Well, what do we got t' get, mon ami?"

	Darius shrugged. "I don't read chicken scratch. Got a picture of some kind of idol, though. Looks kind of like the Virgin Mary." He shrugged and handed the note over. "Probably nothing significant." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Remy eyed the image and groaned.

"Leave it to de Italian mob to know deir art," he grumbled and tapped the paper. "Dat's Our Lady of de Rose, a carved statue dat darkens every year due to de wood. Was a relic in... Eastern France, either stolen by de facists or taken to be hidden during de war."

He wiggled two fingers. "De rumor is either de Vatican or a influential neo-socialist Polish elite has it now. De reality, like usual, is even stranger."

He grinned and nodded. This was going to be a fun one, that was for sure.

	Darius quirked an eyebrow at Remy, then eyed the statue again. "Okay, so who's got it? As long as it's not Dr. Doom or something ridiculous like that, we should be able to nab it." He drained his espresso, getting the feeling he would want more before the hour was up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Neither side'd let de other have it, so a third bidder won." Remy smiled. "De president of the European wing of Sanrio." He ordered another round and sat back, pondering. "He's an antiques nut, lots of good bits. British Museum's been salivatin' at getting access. Got a rather good security system to tell de truth." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That just made Darius boggle. "We're up against the guy who manages Hello Kitty for this continent?" Damn. This felt wrong, in a way. But only for a moment. What did he care where some random antique went, if it saved his ass. "So, can we do it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"T'ink of it dis way: if it takes a very secure man to wear pink (or magenta), what does it say about him?" Remy squinted in utter amusement at the young man. "I'm gonna pretend you never asked dat. All we need is a helicopter, two fast snowmobiles and one of Henri's ol' hacker worms." He grinned and put his hands behind his head, total confidence. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darius just shook his head. "Man, I'm never taking my pants off in Italy again." That was truly the lesson to learn here. "Alright. Snowmobiles?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Dat's a little steep, mon ami. Don't let one megalomaniac father of a floozy mob princess ruin a country fer ya!"

He hummed. "Next time, we'll hit up Rio De Janeiro's Carnivale."

"Snowmobiles. He keeps a chateau in de Swedish Alps, where de prized marks sit. De quietest way to Castle Keroppi is on snow."

He frowned. "Beyond bounciness, what else d'ya have up yer sleeve?"

	"Rio's nicer, anyway. Italy's like a museum country." He finished his last pastry, wiping the crumbs off his pants. "I was training to be a spy back home, and I'm flexible. So, uh, good for sneaking in, but not so great with security systems." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hence an ol program from de Blue Doctor," he paused. "Actually, we make it look like a hit, he'll come after the family for pay back..." He grinned wider. This was getting more amusing by the minute. "Then we don' need Henri's help, but a couple packs of gum and polaroids. Everyt'ing else we've aready got." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2009-05-07 10:12 am UTC (link)
	Well, that sounded like it could be fun. "Alright. So we're going to pretend to steal the thingy, blame it on the mafia dude, and watch them growl at each other? Do we really want to unleash the unholy might of the Hello Kitty army on a defenseless mafioso? I hear they have ninjas." His voice was deadpan, giving no hint to how he meant what he said.
