Her smile had disappeared as he spoke, listening to everything that was coming out of his mouth but not saying anything. She frowned to herself, looking at Adrian and then combing her hand back through her long hair, pushing it out of her eyes and face. "Sometimes it's better to keep those ideas in your had." The woman told him matter-of-factly and patted him on the back as she went past, still clearing thing sup.
She pursed her lips at his quesiton about her name. "What? Don't you like it? It means 'chooser of the slain' in mythology." Valkyrie told him and stuck her tongue out at him. "I think that it's cool, my parents were always into weird names and things, they thought it was unique since I am unique." She told him in a joklingly dramatic voice and then huffed when her pure white hair fell into her face again. Shoving her hand into her pocket she pulled out a little piece of thing rope and tied her hair back into a messy bun before going back to work.

Adrian crossed his arms, "Oh yes, very, very unique." He joked along. He thought about his name, "Yeah, my parents weren't very original, my name means dark, black, or of the Adriatic." He told her, raising an eyebrow, "The Adriatic Sea? I think my parents wanted to drown me." He shook his head.
Under some more rubble was a body a little kid, he moved the body. Luckily the shore wasn't to far, only a few minutes from the church. Adrian had seen dead people before and it usually never bothered him, but little kids, it was too much of a reminder. His eyes had a flash of pain before they were masked up with a serious expression. He sighed and covered the little kid.
"I think we are about done here. I don't see anyone else." He stated, rolling his shoulders and his neck, a few cracks released. "Say, want to go to the bar, get a few drinks. Get drunk, maybe a little crazy." He wiggled his eyebrows, he chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm only joking...or am I?" He pushed some of his lightly colored bangs from his face.
"Maybe we'll catch Zeke there, a threesome sound good to you?" He asked, showing his perverted side.

"Oh, yes, a threesome sounds fan-tastic. I really want the both of you to do me, I bet you're both amazing." Valkyrie rolled her eyes and grinned. "How about we invite the Boss, we can have a little orgy." She laughed and rolled her shoulders, looking up at the sky and smiling a bored smile.
Valkyrie looked at him and then nodded. "A drink though, honestly, sounds like a really good plan right now, especially after working around this place." She agreed and rocked back and forth on the balls of her feet, looking at the destructed area.

Adrian nodded and lead the way to the bar. It was a relaxing place, you could, hang out with friends, pick up hot girls. Then again all bars were like that. Adrian wasn't surprised to see Zeke there, he looked at Valkyrie, "Oh sorry doesn't look like that little orgy is going to happen any time soon." He pouted. Boss wasn't there, he never left that building, he was really strange.
Adrian sat beside Zeke and ordered a drink. "Hey, so how'd it go?" He asked, Zeke was in charge of the homeless children. He sighed and slammed it drink down by accident. "There wasn't enough room. I have at least thirty children crying for their parents or siblings with no where to go." Zeke explained, Adrian honestly had no idea what to say, jokes would only make the situation more tense.
"What are you going to do?" Adrian asked, if Zeke needed his help he would, no matter what. Zeke looked at Adrian through half-lidded eyes, "You remember that one day, long ago before we joined Effort, we were walking with Meira and we found that house, it was vacant?" Zeke asked, remembering. Adrian nodded, it had been a while since he heard Zeke bring up her name. "What about it?" He asked, taking a sip of his drink. "I'm thinking of bringing them there, it's big enough, we can live there too, feed them, help them." Zeke explained, his usually stoic eyes filled with hope.
Adrian looked straight ahead, moving in with a bunch of homeless kids might bring up a lot of unresolved issues, hell it could end up helping him. He sighed and nodded, "I'm in." He gulped down the rest of his drink, "You remember Valkyrie right?" He asked pointing to a woman with white hair. Zeke nodded, "Oh yeah, Boss has a raging boner for her." He smirked and shook his head, "The expression on his face, fucking hilarious." Zeke nodded his head at her, "Adrian here should buy you a drink for giving us a good laugh." He said, patting his friend on the shoulder.
"Whoah! Hold up, me? Why me, you can buy the drink, I need my money." Adrian retorted. "For what? Hookers, please Adrian we all know not even hookers want to go at it with you." Adrian glared at his friend and chuckled into his drink. "So Valkyrie were you in total hell today, being stuck with this...." Zeke couldn't find a good enough insult to call his friend, so he just ended his question there.

Valkyrie listened and laughed, shaking her head to herself and relaxing in her seat, watching the two of them. She ordered herself a drink and shrugged her shoulders a little, "Not total hell, just partial hell." The woman replied, amusement lacing her soft voice. "It would have been much worse for me today if i'd decided to take up that offer Boss gave me though." She cringed at the thought, she could only imagine what the offer involved.
"Eh, if you guys need help with those kids then just tell me." Valkyrie smiled and winked and then grinned as she received her drink. She picked it up and downed about half of it before letting out a breath, she'd definitly being having nightmares tonight. Damn, she really hated that job sometimes, but she'd jus thave to deal with it and try to ignore that fact that she'd seen so many dead people that day.

Both males nodded and ordered another drink. One drink turned into another and soon Adrian was off chasing some girl. Zeke rested his head on his head and watched Valkyrie, she was interesting. "Why did you move here?" He asked, making small conversation. Zeke honestly wanted to know why she would join Effort, he knew how the citizens felt about the people in Effort, they called them 'pigs' and 'slaves to Authority.'
Adrian was in the corner talking to a cute red-head, he's heard about red-heads being crazy but that didn't bother him, he could handle crazy. "Why are you here tonight?" She asked, giving him a seductive smirk, her finger tracing down his chest. Adrian found himself having trouble concentrating, his stumbled around his words. He drank way too much. "Do I need a reason to come here?" He smirked at her. The girl chuckled and shook her head. She leaned forward to whisper in his ear. Her breath warmed his ear. She flicked her tongue out to trace the edge of his ear. Adrian smirked, she asked,
"Your place or mine?"
Adrian wasn't going to bring some one night stand to his house. Hell hath no fury like a woman's anger, or something like that. He chuckled, "Yours." His breath smelt of alcohol but neither one cared. Both stood up, the woman leading Adrian out of the bar. He waved to Valkyrie and Zeke, a huge smirk on his face.

Valkyrie looked at Zeke, she gave him a dopey smile. "Nowhere to go, no one around, nothing to do... All those reasons and then some. I don't care what people think about us... Fuck, I don't care about much." She laughed and ordered herself one more drink, she saw Adrian and waved at him, winking and laughing a little more.
"How about you, why'd you join up?" She asked, crossing her arms on the table and resting her head on them while she watched him. Her normally pale face was flushed from the drinking, a light dusting of red along the tops of her cheeks and the bridge of her nose. Valkyrie smiled softly at him, absently scratching at the table top with one of her long nails.

Zeke thought for a moment on how to answer that question. "I guess I wanted to help in someway." Zeke laughed at an old memory, he held his drink in his hand, pausing for a moment, "I grew up here. When my parents were still around they would always tell me stories about an important war, apparently the people that used to live here ages ago fought for this city. It used to be so beautiful, there used to be so many different creatures. This was the place to be. The keyword being was." He laughed, taking another drink.
"Hey, Valkyrie right?" A buff male asked, flipping his long blonde hair over his shoulder, "I remember you, "Do you havbe any idea how relieved I was when you turned Boss down. You see he knows I have a thing for you." That was a lie, all he wanted was sex. Zeke laughed into his drink and looked at her, "Man everyone is getting offered sex except me." He stated and looked at the blonde, "Hey blondie, I'm pretty cute and will take it up the ass." Zeke informed him. The man wrinkled his nose in disgust, "Ew, fucking sick." Well someone didn't know how to take a joke.
The blonde male wrapped an arm around Valkyrie, "What'cha say, come over to my place, we can open a bottle of good wine-" Zeke laughed yet again, "It's from a box, that's all you can aford." He recievced a glare, "And have ourselves a good time." He finished growing irritated with the constant interruption that is Zeke.

She blushed and listened to this new man, staring at him with one raised eyebrow. Valkyrie laughed when his arm wrapped itself around her shoulders and then laughed even harder at Zeke. "I'm sorry, but can't you see that i'm trying to get my friend here to screw me? And I was doing pretty good until you came along and now he's all hot for your nuts, fuck man." She sighed exaggeratedly and pushed the mans arm away from her and then grabbed Zeke's shoulder.
"Now, if you wouldn't mind, please go and find a woman that's to drunk to know any better." Valkyrie said and made a shooing gesture at him before grabbing her drink and swigging it back. She set her glass back down, looked at Zeke and then burst out into laughter, unable to help it. She got this way when she got drunk, easily amused and quite perverse and rude.

The blonde frowned and shook his head, "You say that now, but you'll see, later on you'll be craving a real man." He told her, he glared at Zeke, "You don't want broken goods." He stated, talking about Zeke then left the two.
Zeke started laughing with her, "I applaud you for such crude behavior." He clapped his hands and nodded his head. "Why don't we get out of here and go somewhere more private?" He offered, standing up. He didn't stumble too much, he was able to hold his alcohol pretty well, "I knw a great place." He told her, trying to make his offer more convincing. He really just needed to get out of the bar, he had been there for too long and was starting to lose the feeling in his legs.
With Authority
"These citizens," The word was spat out, "Have no idea what is really going on. That bomb, tell them we caught the culprit and he is being taken care of." A deep voice told Boss. The person had the hood up, masking their identity, the paced back and forth, "That man who suggested it was an insider, was he taken care of?" The person asked, the ice blue eyes were the only object Boss was able to see. "Y-Yes, he has been taken care of." Boss had been working under Authority for a while now yet he still wasn't used to meeting with this person.
"Tomorrow night is very important, tell all the people on Effort to take the night off and enjoy themselves. We don't need anyone coming inside and risk them seeing. Our project, it will change lives."

Valkyrie stood up, at first shakey and then a little stumbley before she completely straightene dout, shaking her head to get her focus. She nodded slowly and followed him. "Yeah, yeah, let's get outta here before anymore people start hitting on me." The woman laughed and leaned against Zeke, tossing her arm over his shoulder. "You're my bud now, got it?" Valkyrie asked, looking at him through hazy eyes.
She then looked aorund, blinking, "Hey, where the hell are we going anyway?" The woman rubbed the side of her neck with her free hand and shook her head again, blinking a couple of times, trying to clear up her head.

Zeke nodded, "Alrighty." He stopped in front of the clock-tower, "Here." He simply stated and opened the door. The staircase was narrow and when you looked up it seemed to never end. Zeke lightly grabbed her wrist to pull her up, "Now then, since you'r emy bud and all, I have to show you my secret place. Adrian and I come up here all the time when we're supposed to be working. He noticed his red book sitting on a table he quickly grabbed it, then opened another door. The ledge wasn't narrow, it was pretty big, but if someone played around to much they would fall off. Zeke sat on the edge and opened his book.
The clock-tower gave you a view of the entire city, "Just try not to be up here when the clock strikes, that noise will make you go deaf." He told her. Boss's voice filled the town's silence, "Hey Valkyrie, you're boyfriend has a message." He chuckled.
'Attention Effort, due to tomorrow's celebration everyone has the day off. Thank you for all your hard work today and please enjoy your day tomorrow.
Goodbye.'
Zeke leaned back on his hands, "Day off? Awesome. I wonder what it's like for people who hear voices, when Boss's voice comes on from out of nowhere, are they like 'Oh crap another one?'" Zeke shrugged, "When I first heard it I was so confused, I looked at the others, they all had on straight faces, I really thought I was going crazy. How about you?" He asked curiously.

"Oh, well, i'm one of those people that hear voices already." Valkyrie laughed and sat next to Zeke, looking out at everything. "A day off..." Her eyebrows furrowed, that didn't seem right, that didn't seem like it should happen. She thought about it a bit more and then shrugged, she shouldn't question it. "He's my number one boyfriend, that guy..." The woman laughed and leaned back too, looking up at the sky, then she slowly laid herself down, a frown taking over her face.
"What's the book all about?" She questioned when she saw the red book, she stared at it and then sat up just slightly to pull the rope out of her hair and let it fall down around her face, it went all the way down to nearly her ass and it was all shaggy and layered. Absently Valkyrie pushed it out of her face and then laid down again, ignoring how hard the ledge was agaist her back.

Zeke shrugged, "Nothing much really, it has a bunch of quotes and short stories." He told her flipping a page.
'Secrecy involves a tension which, at the moment of revelation, finds its release.'
Zeke read, "Quotes are interesting to me." He informed her, noticing her frown. "You know in all my years in Effort we never got a day off." He was wondering if that was why she was frowning. Zeke yawned, "Well buddy it has been fun but I think I am going to go home a pass out and never wake up again." He stated and stood up. "Be careful on your way home, there are a lot of weird people out tonight. Whenever there's chaos it seems other have to add to it." He warned before disappearing inside the tower to go home.

"Night, thanks for a fun time." She smiled and waved at Zeke and then went back to staring out at the city once again. He rmind continued to go back to the whole 'day off' thing and then she thought about all of the stuff that Adrian had spoken about. The woman swore and stood after about twenty or so minutes, finally tired of sititng there and stewing in her thoughts.
Valkyrie left the clock tower and walked down the streets, not worried about the weird people, she didn't care, she really, honeslty, did not give a flying fuck. She hadn't cared about anything in a long time it seemed, and vaguely wondered when she would start again, missing it just a little bit.
