[ So Vexen was currently in the lab of the Hotel. Behind him, Dusks were re-arranging file cabinets to tuck them and the papers locked within in safe corners, re-arranging books that he chose and kept on the shelves he cleared and took from the library. Medicines, bandages, and any medical supplies the drug store had to offer were all being stocked

[Hacked // Text & Action // Actually here!]

[Again, just who the fuck was this guy and where did he get off calling Rufus by his first name? Furthermore, how did he get access into the laboratory in the apartments? And, finally, just who exactly was he summoning with such a distrustful smile?

To hell with being on quasi-house arrest on the first floor, she's the HBIC Acting Director. And this needed to be resolved now. Elena, in all her mildly-ill glory, is en-route to the lab with half a dozen of Rikku's drones in tow and looking none-too amused.]

You'll have to excuse my rudeness but only authorized personnel are allowed access to the laboratory. I'm going to ask you once to please evacuate the premises. If you refuse to do so, I will escort you myself.

[And there's a knock at your door. Oh hai, Vexen, you have a guest!]

[Hacked // Text & Action // Actually here!] hay bb! Glad to see you makin' an appearance.

[glacialis_nemo]

[ :| Dear lord. He needs a Larxene expy about as much as you all need a Hojo expy. Either way, the text was received, but ignored. He'll address the matter whenever she comes to try and collect him.

Ah, and there was the knock right there. An amused chuckle rumbled in his chest, the smug sort of laugh one would expect from someone waiting to rub someone's nose in their stinking pile of defeat. ] Come in.

[Hacked // Text & Action // Actually here!] This had to happen

[provenworth]

[Oh dear lord, don't make such dangerous threats - she could live another 100 years before she would want or need a Hojo expy. And this face, on the other side of the door? It is VERY DISPLEASED.

However, she's put on her most professional demeanor and posture as she pushes the laboratory door open and takes a few steps in.]

I take it you're the individual who moved into Professor Valentine's old lab?

[Hacked // Text & Action // Actually here!] xD Try not to yell at Ru too much/

[glacialis_nemo]

[ ....She's so...small. So very small. And petite. Vexen's gaze swept down to stare down his nose at her, expression a mixture of arrogance, superiority, and confidence. He was also still smug as the Dusks continued about their work, moving around like possessed contortionists. ]

So, you have basic observational skills. You show promise.

I see no need to explain myself to you, girl, but yes. I was offered the laboratory to practice medicine and conduct experiments in a sterile setting.

[Hacked // Text & Action // Actually here!] LATE TAG IS LATE BUT SO UTTERLY NECESSARY!!

[provenworth]

[Yeah, yeah. She could almost hear his thoughts of her size - she was the smallest of the Turks (save Cissnei and that was yet to be determined). But it was her small stature that she often used to her advantage. Many of her opponents had assumed that her small size and stature meant she couldn't do much harm.

How wrong they had been.]

Your sarcasm is not warranted, sir. All individuals who move into this building must go through me prior to moving in to be approved and then entered into our security system.

[This face is that of an unamused, totally serious professional. Nobody gets into this building with Elena's stamp of approval.]

Seeing that no paperwork has been submitted for your entrance into this building - much less the security clearance to enter this room in particular - I'm going to allow you one last chance to vacate this room until further notice on your own two feet. If you choose to not leave, you will be escorted off the premises.

[Hacked // Text & Action // Actually here!] LET US MOVE INTO BACK-TAG LAND TOGETHER.

[ :| Holy hell, no. Vexen was just as wary of her abilities as anyone else's. Everything about her physically just screamed 'Larxene,' who was a deadly little witch he just couldn't rid himself of. Elena's saving grace here was her professionalism. ]

Is that so? As I recall, Rufus ShinRa is in command of this company, not you. And as such, you have no authority to evict me when the invitation was personally extended by your superior. [ High and mighty, here. Those drones really didn't scare him, but he was mindful of the plethora of possibilities. ]

I will remain here, whether or not you like it, girl, and any problems are to be taken up with Rufus. I have too much work to finish to wait for your bureaucracy to take effect, so leave whatever paperwork on my desk to be filled out. As it were, though, your security systems will do you little good against a Nobody. [ That smirk was..almost as dark as it was haughty

[provenworth]

[Some would say its not only her saving grace, but sometimes it was her downfall. Either way, she's rooted firmly in her politeness and professionalism - from time to time she was the face of ShinRa, after all. And she wouldn't dare put a blemish on that face.]

Then perhaps I should introduce myself, since nobody made you aware of who I am. I am Elena and I serve as the President's right hand. I am entrusted to maintain the safety and security of this building, as well as the President's well-being. [Which does nothing to negate the fact that he was right about the situation. One that Elena was NONE TO PLEASED ABOUT, which is clearly visible by the slight frown that threatened to pull the corners of her lips fulling downward.]

You can be sure that I will be following the President regarding your residence here to ensure that your story is, in fact, true. Until I return, I will leave a drone here with you. It has stored the required questions for you to complete and will take a photograph of your face for visual recognition.
