"Bloodline?" Xyoukai snorted in luaghter, "I wish." Setting down his milk glass, he looked to Oscu rather seriously, though a luagh was still obvious in his eyes.
"Before I tell you the specifics, I, one, need to if you'd be at all interested in the type of work, and two, need to let /you/ know that if I do happen to spill my guts about it you have no choice in joining. Well, I take that back." Leaning back into his chair, he heaved in a breath, "You can either join or be tracked down for the rest of your life until you are converted or killed." He mentally sighed about the last bit. It sounded so cliche to him. So much, in fact, that it irritated him.

He watched Xyoukai carefully. He was never in a mood to be joked around with about serious matters, and from what he had said, this was not something to laugh about. Watching his eyes, he decided, after a few minutes that the other had been serious. "Before you begin... Is there a requirement I have to meet that will alter... well, me?" He asked, fingers drumming on the table, both anxious and incredibly skeptical about what he might be getting himself into.

"No. You don't have to be altered in any way if it doesn't suit you. At least, you won't be altered in any way physical way. I can't say what ithe job will do to your mind, it just depends on how stable you are."
He shed the luaghter in his eyes, now taking up a completely serious tone. Even his voice had shifted vibes to some extent.

"If you're talking about what I think you're talking about then I can deal with that... I've done it before and can do it again. Just more professionally this time." He murmured, more to himself than Xyoukai.
"Well... You can tell me, then." He said, looking him in the eye, folding his hands on the table.

"Well, then. I hope you won't regret your choice." Xyoukai inhaled deeply, closing his eyes lightly for a moment, he gathered his thoughts.
"This ...government organization goes by the name of the Agency. It's almost like a cult." Opening his eyes again, he leaned back in his chair and rturned Oscu's steady gaze. "It's a group of assassins, spies, and other special forces that deal with the more 'undercover' type business."
"It's members are criminals, thieves, murderers ...any outlaws willing to keep their life for a price. It's also made up of people who aren't.."he puased, "natural. Experiments gone wrong, witches, demons, pixies, anything and anyone from your wildest dreams. If you can imagine, you'll probably find it there."
"The Agency's soul purpose is to keep the streets safe. By means of violence, abductions, anything - if it's for the greater good of the society or the profit of the Agency, it will be done."
"Everything's run by one man who works loosely with certain branches of the government. Nobody knows what he looks like or who he is. He's simply known as the SandMan and if you get tangled up with the Boss, you better hope he's in a good mood."
"You're offered four strikes in the Agency. Fuck up four times, in any way, you'll be punished and possibly killed. With the ranks being made of what they're made of, there's no exceptions to this rule."
Taking another breath, he eased his posture slightly. Most of the introduction was over with now. The only thing he expected was for Oscu to stand and leave, or just ask a few questions. Either way, they'd be stopping at Headquarters soon now.

Oscu nodded slowly. "I won't..." He murmured. He had nothing left to live for anyway. "
Oscu listened attentively, gaze unwavering as Xyoukai spoke to him, making sure he wasn't lying or joking about any of it. As Xyoukai finished up, he nodded. The only thing he found slightly suspicious was the fact that it was all run by one person who no one had identified. However... That shouldn't be a problem.
"How exactly do I sign up for this Agency, now that I have no choice to join?" He asked.

"I'll take you to heaadquarters where you can talk with Chief. He'll register you and explain anything else you might like to know."
He looked down to his coffee cake and pursed his lips in disgust. That really was a waste of money.
"Of course, if you want to finish your drink and maybe relax at home for a bit, I can arrange to meet you somewhere at another time."

He shook his head. "No better time than the present... Unless, of course, YOU would like some time to yourself? I wouldn't want to impose on your personal time by dragging you back to work when you don't want to be there." He said, drumming his fingers on the sides of his empty cup.

"I need to check in pretty quick as it is." Xyo got up and pushed in his chair, grabbing his plate and cup, he tossed them both into the nearest trash bin. Arching his back and reaching up, he stretched, a yawn squeezing loose from his jaw muscles. He continued to stetch every which way, taking his time as he waited for Oscu.

He nodded slightly at this. "Let's go then and make it there quickly so you can check in and go home, hm?" He said before tossing his cup as well and coming up beside Xyo, smiling lightly at his stretching show. "Shall we?" He questioned, motioning towards the door.

"We shall," he finished his little bonanza of motion and stepped lightly to the door. Pushing it open, he held it behind him allowing Oscu to step through. Once on the concrete flow of skin and fur, Xyo stretched his single, fleshy wing and allowed it to hang idly from his back.
Looking over the people he passed and the cars that floated by, he moaned as he realised that rush hour was coming up fast. Had he taken so long in the coffee shop?
No matter. Here he was, now, not then or later. Going back to his ritual life with a soon-to-be Agent in tow. He felt like a dog in a way. Bringing home the fetch to master so that he'll receive his daily dinner and be able to live one more day. To risk that very life when the next mission was posted.
It's a mad world.
"So, Oscu, anything you're particularly good at?" He glanced to the other, the question being only in his words and not his eyes. He once heard that 'eyes never lie' and found, that that in itself, was a lie. His eyes were dead and hardly ever showed emotion. He'd seen eyes that could lie as easily as sight came to them, like it was second nature - or first, even.

He followed after the other and glanced around at the streets as they emerged. The pure silence that had once encompassed them was beginning to fade away as the real morning (for most, at least) came. Looking to Xyo as he moaned, a slight smirk graced Oscu's muzzle. "Rush hour's coming..." He said, and as he looked at the other, he noticed the wing that had extended from his back and gave a it a curious glance before turning forward once again, following the street that they were walking down as they headed towards the Agency.
He stuffed his hands in the pockets of his blazer as he walked along, his shoes slapped against the pavement, one after another, and his gaze focused upon these shoes until his train of thought (or lack thereof) was interrupted by the other.
"Hm?" He said, glancing up for a moment before shrugging slightly. "I can use a gun... But I prefer (and am more adept) with short blades, like knives." He murmured, his gaze refocusing on his shoes as they walked along.
"I can also put up a good fist fight... Basically all the usual things." He said. However, he had a strange sort of inclination to work with the short blade, and although he had no sort of magical powers, he had grown so accomplished with knives that one might assume that he did.

Xyo's bland expression twisted into a dancing smirk as he was answered, "Knives..." He echoed, "Beautiful." He turned to face the direction he was going. Stopping at the next intersection, he read the street sign and took a left.
"I'm a switchblade person, myself. Daggers, too. Stunning things they are - They never see'em comming." The smirk grew in intensity as he caressed the thought of the blades in his mind. He was in love with them, in a sense. "Beautiful," he said once again.
It wasn't long until they reached another intersection, Xyoukai turned right this time. Extending his arm and fingers, the ends of his digits scrapped along the brick side of a building as he strode.

He smiled lightly at this and nodded. "We have something in common, then. I don't think I'll mind working with you at all." He said, glancing at Xyou to catch his expression.
"Agreed. If you use them correctly, that is." He added before looking down the street they had turned. Glancing at the traffic going by, he sighed gently. The world was waking up.

Xyoukai hadn't given any thought to how stupid he sounded. In fact, he never gave much thought to how he sounded or looked for that matter. He halted as his fingers hit an overly
smooth spot on the brick work. Taking this as his cue, he entered the next door to come and ignored every detail about the small china-wear shop.
Every detail except the small inscription on the maintenance door. Not words, but runes etched into the gray metal. Smirking, he opened the door and entered, following an invisible trail through the stored away equipment and machines.
