Dead Souls

[Kari]

Kari walked around Jia Yuan in the middle of the night, having heard rumours of some spirit frightening people in the area. Truthfully, she couldn't care less about the people being frightened and thought it somewhat amusing, but her orders were to check it out and reap the soul to the afterlife.

Kari sighed as she leaned against a fence and pulled out a pack of cigarettes, lighting it and inhaling the smoke. She exhaled slowly and closed her eyes. She could feel the familiar burning sensation but knew that it would not hold the exact same effects as it had when she was human.

As she brought the cigarette to her lips again, she suddenly saw a woman run past her in fright. Not caring for the woman, she inhaled on the cigarette anyway, seeing now a less physical appearance of a man pass her by. She slowly exhaled again and dropped the cigarette as she began to walk after the two before picking up into a run.

She eventually found the woman hiding in an alley between two housing structures and crying. She stared at the girl briefly before turning around and coming face to face with a grotesque appearance of a man. He had horrible burn wounds all over his face and body, rather deformed, yet with a slight twisted grin as he looked at Kari now.

"Although I rather enjoy a good scaring of humans," Kari began, "I have my orders to remove you." With that, her bow materialized into her left hand and suddenly chains were visible attached between her two hands. As she lifted the bow and reached for the string, an arrow made of her energy appeared.

She pulled it back and let the arrow fly right between the eyes of the grotesque spirit as it held a surprised look at her. With a small flash, the spirit was gone and her bow and chains disappeared from sight. She sighed as she lowered her arms and glanced back at the crying woman who now looked up at her and thanked her. Kari scoffed with a scowl and headed off down the street, caring nothing for the woman or her thanks.

[Shawn]

Shawn was given a new task to find a person whom actually known to cleanse the souls of the dead and make a deal as his higher up told him too. It is important as not all of them are experts in this kind of thing as they do however receive quite a handful of job that is needed to handle with Supernatural things. Agreed with his higher up commands, Shawn was then went for a job to find a rumored to be a 'Shinigami'. With the information given to him by the higher up, Shawn sets out to Kumo area to the Jia Yuan where his search began.

After reaching Jia Yuan, Shawn waits patiently while observing the surrounding for any clues. He overheard the conversation between the locals about some 'ghost' at night. So he made up his mind to wait until night. When the night comes, Shawn dash from roof to roof quietly as he searched for the 'shinigami' or the 'ghost'. He then saw a women who is running from a man that is not so human-like form. Confirmed that this is the supposed to be 'ghost', Shawn decided to trails them and wait for the appearance of the 'Shinigami'. As expected, the 'shinigami' appeared.

It is a woman, a young woman with short hair. Shawn observed from the top as she without having a 'caring' for the safety of the girl who is being followed by the 'ghost'. He waits to see what kind of ways will she do to 'kill' this ghost. To his surprise, a bow appears out of nowhere from her hand as she then shot the ghost which ended up killing it. He noticed how the shinigami herself ignore the girl whom tried her best to thank her. He then, close his eye while thinking to himself. "We found a good one,"

He then jump down from the roof to the floor which is behind where the shinigami stands. Without wasting a time, he goes straight for his bidding. "Do you seek dead souls? If so, I have deals for you," he speaks in clear and serious tone. By hiring her to do this job, it will help his organization greatly. After pausing for a moment he continues. "We will pay for a high cost for you're work," he took out a handful purse of gold coin. The organization have a rather quite a high income. They'll pay for a high price for any job done. Now, Shawn waits what will the shinigami reply...

[Kari]

As Kari walked away from the alley, she started pulling out a pack of cigarettes again. Just as she was about to light one, she saw someone land down in front of her. Kari paused her action as she looked at this person before continuing to light her cigarette. She seemed utterly uncaring of his question and offer of deals. She just finished lighting her cigarette and put her lighter back into her shorts pocket.

Kari inhaled deeply on her cigarette with her eyes closed then stared at the boy again as she exhaled through the left half of her mouth. Knowing herself that she's bound by shinigami laws that state she cannot refuse to remove dead souls that should not remain among the living, Kari already knew she'd have to accept this person's request one way or another. That fact, however, was not something she had to share with others. So, she figured, she might as well reap the situation for whatever benefits she could obtain.

Kari inhaled again on her cigarette as she stared at the bag of coins in his hand. She looked back up at his eyes again as she exhaled and grinned. Her grin was of a cold and cruel nature, one that could send chills down the spine of any decent person. "So... What's the job?" She spoke with a cold tone and a hint of dark amusement hanging by a thread.

[Shawn]

Shawn analyzed the woman carefully as he stays keep his cautious at bay. It’s his usual routine to anyone foreign to him as his safety precautions. He however does this without exposing his composure.

“So she smoke huh?” Shawn then simply cut his thought as he finds it unnecessary to even judge this person. “Why do I even bother?” This perhaps reminded him to one of his organization member, Alexandria whom is also a smoker, which makes him felt unease since they both are not in well term.

“You simply do what you’ve done just now,” Shawn then throws the bag of coin towards that woman light enough so she can catch it without trouble. “The differences is, we will give you the target,” Shawn explains clearly. He then change his standing posture before continuing. “Consider that as your deposit before your next target,” Shawn firmly said that as if he knows that the woman would accept his offer. The hint of amusement on her voices just now makes him confident that she is indeed with the job, and he doesn’t care about the reasons to it.

“Do you accept it?”

[Kari]

Judging by the way this man spoke and the number of people he's murdered, Kari easily deduced that he's an assassin. She was always amused by the presence of sinners. The knowledge that these cocky humans will experience a similar pain to what she had experienced in the afterlife filled her with a dark sense of joy. Her cold, cruel eyes stared directly into his as she inhaled on her cigarette again while listening to him.

Kari caught the bag of coins easily as she exhaled cigarette smoke. She then crossed the hand that caught the bag across her stomach and rested her other elbow on top of that arm while inhaling again on the cigarette, grinning at the man in a wicked and amused way. Kari exhaled the smoke again as the man questioned if she accepted his offer.

"I don't see why not." She answered as she threw the rest of her cigarette on the ground and stepped on the butt to put it out while finally tucking the bag of coins into her shorts pocket. She reached into her other pocket with her free hand and pulled out a small note pad and pen that were decorated with the name of a hotel Kari had recently stayed in. Her expression returned to its normal uninterested stoic as she turned her attention to the note pad and jotted down her first name and cell phone number.

Not caring about the rest of the note pad, Kari just tossed the entire little pad to the man instead of just tearing off the one page to give him. "Give me a call whenever there's a job for me." She said, sounding less interested now as she returned the pen to her pocket and pulled her cigarette pack and lighter out again. She popped the cigarette in her mouth and lit it up then returned the pack and lighter to her pocket while inhaling on it. "Oh," she uttered as she exhaled the smoke and looked back towards the man. "Keep in mind, I can only kill what's already dead." She made sure to inform the man of that important point since it would be troublesome if they ever tried to hire her to take out a living soul.

[Shawn]

Shawn then lax his posture as he blink once when he thinks his task is done when the lady accept his offer. Despite being an assassin, Shawn was never a man with wicked nature. The lady in front of him, is one in his eyes as he still studies her every moves with his cold eyes. It never is comfortable to deal with the people like this, he just simply got used to it due to his leader is a wicked man himself.

As Shawn wants to move, he noticed that the girl is writting something in a small note pad before throwing the note pad to him. Casually and quickly, he catch and read the notes. Raising his eye brows, he din’t expect that this lady would simply leave the information to him. It was never a need for it, since every information will somehow will be gained by Victor, the true mastermind of 7 DW. Tho he did not make any other respond as he finds it unnencessary for it. He then gaze back to the lady when she speaks something in when to give her a call.

Shawn nodded as his respond as he prepares to make his leave before the lady got something else to say. ‘ Can only kill the dead? Does her power makes her unable to hurt the living?’ Shawn gives a quick thought to it before giving his replies. “Then, things will be sorted out –“ his sentences was cut when his cell pones vibrates as it received new text messages. Only Victor will ever messages him and knowing him, it must be something important. Without delay, he quickly take out his cell phone and proceed to read the incoming text

[ It will be incovenient for you Shawn, but I would like you, to be the medium between me and this new sub-member of ours. When you got one and the contract has been made, I will be giving orders to you before you forward that to this new person.I’m sure you are curious why I’m taking this precautions from some unknown Ghost buster you may meet, but procedures are procedures. Since that person won’t be our formal member after all. Good luck~]

Shawn read the text quickly as he re-thought of his sentences before typing something in the cell phone, not to reply to Victor, but to give a miss call to Kari. “That will be my number,” Shawn states before he puts back his phone into his pocket. “You will only recieved your new task from me. Any questions?” Shawn finished his sentences as he cold eye focused on Kari. This conversation is near to an end, and all he needs is one last confirmation.
