Outside on the front doorstep of the Varia headquarter, Kuromori Hakuren stood there with a single black suitcase beside her. At the moment she was standing there pondering on how to enter the building. There were 4 available options. They were: A) Knock or ring the door bell and wait for someone to open the door for her B) Break a window and sneak in C) Be like the fat man in a red suit on Christmas Day and slide in through the chimney or D) Break down the doors. Had she been a sane, normal, and ordinary person, the most obvious choice would have been A. However, unfortunately for the Varia and anyone and everyone around her, Kuromori Hakuren was anything BUT sane, normal and ordinary. So her only choices left was to break a window, climb down a chimney, or break down the doors. Hm... She wasn't really in the mood to get down and dirty with soot so C was out. Two choices left. After a few more seconds of thinking, Hakuren had made her decision. Bending over and reaching into her suitcase, she had calmly pulled out her oh-so dearly beloved bazooka and aimed it at the doors. A loud BOOM soon came a few seconds after, echoing throughout the entire building. 'Let the fun begin~'

[OOC: WHAT. Where did she get a bazooka from?! And hey...do I still need to write Xanxus if all he's doing is sitting in a chair in the kitchen?] Squalo hadn't even taken a dozen steps when there was a gigantic crash from the other side of the building. It didn't take a genius to be immediately suspicious (read: Even Levi would have been smart enough to do something about this) and the swordsman cursed before changing direction, leaping over a bannister before continuing on his way.
"VOOOOI! What the fuck made that noise?!" [/b] Squalo swore loudly, his voice echoing off the walls. Inspecting this had better be worth it, because he really did not need to be dealing with a pissed off boss at this time of the day. The thought that the rest of the Varia was probably already searching through the vast caverns of the Pantry for something suitable never really crossed his mind. No, Squalo thought wryly to himself - the most loyal of the Varia was the only one not doing anything in order to find deer meat. It was ironic in a way, but then again... Heh, fuck that. Levi would probably claim the title of the most loyal, anyway, and he Squalo wasn't in the mood for a pissing contest with that guy. Definitely not, especially when the swordsman had just recently broken one of his umbrellas. Squalo tried to be confident in his fellow Varia's abilities to navigate through the Pantry in order to find something suitable for the boss - really, he did, but none would come for him. Bel, for all his vaunted, supposed genius, was still a stupid knife brat, and would probably wander around that particular part of the castle forever, if he indeed went in. Then again, it was possible that he had refused after all, claiming his right as a prince. Whatever the reason, it would be good riddance. Lussuria on the other hand, probably knew the Pantry like the back of his hand. Squalo had never bothered to find out just how much of the extensive Pantry Lussuria had mapped out, and he didn't think he would any time soon, either. However, the 'mother' of the Varia would probably get side tracked...probably searching for his 'children' if he believed any of them had gotten lost. Then there was Coltel. Actually, Squalo would probably rank Coltel as the Varia's sanest person aside from himself, of course. It was her that the shark trusted the most to find the deer, and save everyone else from the wrath of Xanxus. Well, there was little chance of that happening, anyway. Squalo merely resigned himself to a ton of bricks to the head - plus a wineglass - sometime in the near future. But for now, he needed to find out what had made that ungodly 'boom' noise.[/blockquote] [OOC: Ehh, big(ger) post. Muse sort of came back.]

After the smoke cleared and she had safely stored her bazooka away back inside her suitcase, Hakuren calmly stepped over pieces of what used to be the Varia's door and looked around. Aside from the mess she just made, the place seemed pretty clean. After pausing to think for a minute, Hakuren headed off towards a certain direction through the labyrinth-like hallways of the Varia headquarters.
'If I were that man, where would I be?'
While turning a few corners in the hallways, she noticed that there wasn't any servants around, which was strange considering how this place was suppose to be the base of the Vongola's most elite assassins.
'Hm...I guess that tyrant had another craving for a rare dish,' she mused quietly. Then she took an abrupt stop in the middle of the hallways. 'Of course! The dining room! Why didn't I think of it before?'
Continuing forward, she headed towards the Varia's dining room, quietly pulling her black suitcase behind her. For some strange reason, she knew exactly where it was. When Hakuren reached the her destination, she stood front of the dining room doors before knocking on them and quietly entering the into the said room. Inside, she almost immediately saw the person she was looking for and bowed.
"Xanxus."

In the distance, Prince Belphegor heard a loud boom, which sounded in the direction of one of the main side entrances of the Headquarters. Hardly anyone used the side entrances - they were inconvenient, and everyone liked flashy entrances anyway. Perhaps some force was attacking? Bel spun around, trying his best to navigate towards the sound, and almost promptly smashed into a wall.
Almost.
If his genius intuition hadn't stopped him in time.
Of course, it was rather easy to crash into a wall. It was pitch dark, and the only noises and movements were your own and your imagination. The Pantry was indeed a formidable place, and he vowed never to come down here again. That was, before he accidentally opened a cupboard and noticed something written on one of the packages. The handwriting was familiar.
Deer friggin' meat.
Squalo had never really been careful with his labeling.
It was raw, but it would have to do. Taking the parcel as gently as possible (because a prince wasn't about to touch raw meat, even if it was bundled), Bel began walking at a significantly faster pace. First was because of that noise, and second was he knew that the Boss had never set foot into the pantry, and was probably already pissed off beyond reason by now. And Bel still had to find Lussuria to get him to cook the meat.
How very troublesome indeed.
"Lussu~ria~!"
[/color] he sang softly into the darkness, as loudly as possible. Who knows where that stupid okama went. When there was no answer, Bel tried again. "Oi! Lussuria!"[/color] This time, his words cut through the silence like a knife. For the sake of it, Bel threw some knives into the darkness, hearing each thump as they hit a target. Probably not a person, or else they would have yelled in pain. After a long while of wandering around, Bel finally saw a dim light in the distance. Increasing his pace into a run, the awesome genius prince finally broke out of the stupid pantry, still gingerly holding what he had come in for. "Shishishi, I'm a genius~,"[/color] Belphegor sang, good mood back again. "Now where's that Lussuria? LUSSURIA!"[/color][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[YOU RANG?]
Lussuria turned around the moment he heard the crash, wondering what on earth could be causing such a racket. Frowning slightly, he mentally began listing down all the reasons he would ABSOLUTELY NOT be cleaning up whatever mess had just been created.
That is, until somebody yelled his name and popped up through a cupboard door.
"Bel?"
Dismissing the idea that Bel had actually been hiding in a cupboard full of sausages, Lussuria attributed his random appearance to the physics of the Pantry. Grinning when he saw the label on the package Bel held, Lussuria reached out a hand to claim it.
"Good work, Bel-bel! Remind me to give you a reward later. I'll make your favourite food for dinner," he said absentmindedly, turning around and beckoning the others to follow him back out of the Pantry. He took a step forward...
...and landed on something blue.
"...oh shit. The Smurfs."
[HAHAHAHHAA I'M SORRYYYYYYYYY. I JUST. SMURFS!]

Ah, finally! That stupid okama with the mohawk came into view. It was good to stop bumping into walls now, as there was finally light. Tossing the parcel over absently, Bel grinned. "Shishishi, obviously it'd be the prince who finds it first."
[/color] Of course, in no way would Bel admit that he had actually been lost. Not that he thought he had been lost in the first place. This is making no sense. Anyway! "Good work, Bel-bel! Remind me to give you a reward later. I'll make your favourite food for dinner."Bel twitched visibly, and considered sticking a few knives into Lussuria's back. Not only was he treated like a stupid puppy (he took pride in kicking/stabbing them), but he also had an insulting nickname to follow... But sadly, he was the only main Varia member who could cook (probably, seeing as the prince had never tested anyone's cooking skills) and so he was needed...for now.[/blockquote][/blockquote] [OOC: So short, my muse left >.> And...I don't get the smurfs part, so I didn't include it. Sorry. But at least I posted *is shot*]

Xanxus heard a faint crash in the far distance, echoing throughout the oversized headquarters. Head raising, the boss lifted his booted feet from the food splattered table and dropped them onto the ground.
Checking the clock on the far wall, Xanxus scowled. His underlings subordinates were taking far too long with his meat - the entire operation had taken almost an hour already. Forget about that Varia quality bullshit. The rest of the Varia had clearly none.
The crash he had heard was almost worth investigating, since it had been the most interesting thing that had occurred since Xanxus had gotten to the kitchen. However, it was possible that it was Squalo, or someone equally as loud who had just recently destroyed something.
Wait. Forget that last part, no one could rival Squalo's loudness - that would be almost like comparing a tuna fish to a shark.
Then again, the Pantry could have contributed to the other Varia's tardiness - Xanxus himself had never entered, but he had heard many stories from shaken servants, not that he ever listened in to these conversations.
Brisk steps from beyond the kitchen's doors broke Xanxus out of his train of thought. They stopped, and a moment later there was a knock on the door as someone entered.
Xanxus's eyes narrowed as the youngish woman carrying a black suitcase bowed.
"Xanxus."
The girl was clearly a newcomer to the Varia headquarters, as Xanxus had never seen her before. However, she looked familiar, almost like...
"Who the fuck are you, trash?" [/b][/blockquote]

[OOC: I wonder how you prepare venison...xD]
Slam "...Useless..." Coltel muttered, as she slammed the door of yet another cupboard. This one happened to be filled with boxes after boxes of frosted rainbow cereal in the shape of dolphins. She sort of regrets ever coming into the Pantry now. It seems to be filled with everything, other than Venison. Heck, she had even found things she doesn't have a name for...like the gray-ish blue bundle of things sealed in jars in that drawer a few feet away.
She heard a loud noise coming from somewhere far away, and then a few shouts that sounded like 'Lussuria! Lussuria!'. Apparently, it seems like someone had found the stupid meat. About time...now all I have to find is a way to get out of here.... Sadly, it is one thing to get into the Pantry, and a whole other to get out of it.
After multiple failed turns, Coltel leaned onto a wall and called, "...Hello?". Yes, she's lost. What's worse, the room seems to smell a lot like fish. Throwing open a cabinet door to try to get rid of the source, her eyes widened as she saw what it contained. "Scones!" Reaching in, she grabbed as many of them, stuffing them into her jacket. She totally forgot about finding a way back into the kitchen.

" Who the fuck are you, trash?"
Hakuren couldn't help but blink although nobody could really tell and giggle at his question.
'Still as vulgar as ever,' She thought to herself before replying.
"Kusususu~ Oya? Forgotten me already? Well, I can't blame you for not remembering, as you would put it, "trash" like me. After all, it has been about 7 years since the last time our first encounter."
She repositioned her glasses before bowing again.
"I'll reintroduce myself. Mi chiamo Kuromori Hakuren. Freelance hitman and an information broker. I have neutral ties towards all families but have pledged my loyalties to the Vongola. I am here before you today because I have a business proposal for you. But first,"
Hakuren paused and took a moment to pull something out of her suitcase. Then she walked over in front of Xanxus and kneeled before him, holding out a wrapped up package.
"Please accept this. It's Japanese sirloin beef. I suppose you can think of it as an early payment for what I am about to request from you."
Kuromori Hakuren was most definitely up to something. She would never give such expensive things away without receiving something of equivalent value in exchange.

[LOL Okay, if you remember, in my first post about the Pantry I mentioned that there was a tribe of Smurfs living under Xanxus's bedroom, yes? It appears that Lussuria has run into them... which, indirectly, means you have to deal with them as well, Bel-bel.]
Lussuria lifted his foot gingerly, watching the little blue blob pull its hat back on, give him a dirty look and scuttle back to its tribe. He jumped slightly, feeling a sudden pain in his shin. Looking down, he saw a tiny spear sticking out over the top of his boot. Frowning, he gingerly pulled it out and sent a death glare towards the little blue demons.
"This could be dangerous, Bel," he said, voice low and for once serious.
[SORRY, MUSELESS. OTL]

[OOC: But I'm not Bel-bel! He is! *points to Bel* Oh snap! *prince'd*] Belphegor laughed.
"Shishishi, stop joking around, Lussuria,"
[/color] he grinned, watching as the Varia's sun pulled the tiny spear out. "These little things? Dangerous?"[/color] He giggled again, aiming a kick towards the little blue creature. It flew several feet. Turning back to Lussuria, the prince cackled triumphantly. "See, nothing at all!"[/color] Although of course Lussuria could have been pulling his leg, but Bel was rather doubtful that he was. For once, the green-haired guardian never spoke in such a serious tone unless it was...well, something serious. But those little blue...things...(what were they called? Surfs? Smurts? Ah, smurfs!) weren't dangerous at all. They were even somewhat cute. So cute that Bel wanted to tears them apart and skin them... "Shishishi..."[/color] A sharp pain made him look down, to find another one of those stupid miniature spears sticking out of his shin. The smurf in question looked quite angry, glaring up at him with those stupid eyes. And there were at least 10 more behind him, all carrying what looked like an assortment of weapons. Bel twitched. Nobody interrupts the prince while he was thinking of ways to torture small, innocent creatures. His foot went up and he stepped on the smurf-in-question's head, probably knocking it out before kicking it into the air. The army of smurfs advanced, and Bel grinned. Because this was war.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

Squalo tossed his head, staring at the gaping hole that used to be the front door. Stepping forward, the shark raised his hand to the jagged edges that hadn't been blown away, peering outside carefully.
The remnants of a bazooka shell was lying, smoking nearby. Squalo nudged it with his foot, turning it around. He scowled. Whoever had done this had certainly been looking for an unnecessarily loud and flashy entrance.
The door was still warm and slightly blackened, but that meant little to the Varia's battle commander. During the time between the loud BOOM and when he had gotten to the entrance, the intruder could have gone anywhere. But with Squalo's keen sense of smell - very harshly insulted by Bel - he would probably be able to track down this person. He would get to it...AS SOON AS HE FOUND THE FUCKING MEAT FOR THE SHITTY BOSS.
"VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOI!" [/b] Squalo raged, slashing his sword at the poor innocent door, venting his anger. "Whoever the fuck you are, I'll kill you!"[/b] Turning back around, the swordsman raced down the corridor, towards the Pantry. All of the Varia were quite capable of handling themselves if the intruder's objective was to incapacitate or kill them, so Squalo wouldn't have to worry about that. In addition, if the Varia's sensitive documents were what the intruder was after, then there was not much chance that they would be found. After all, they were hidden in a very safe place in the Varia headquarters. Namely, under Squalo's bed. And if they were just a petty thief after money or items with a high monetary value...well then, they wouldn't find any, unless they searched Mammon's room. And then it would be Mammon's loss, which didn't affect anyone except for the Arcobaleno. So, armed with this grossly misjudged reasoning Squalo headed to the Pantry in order to join the search for deer meat.[/blockquote]

Lussuria paled and held his hands up in surrender before the advancing blue army. Bel could go kill himself, for all he cared. Lussuria had run into these things before, and it wasn't pretty.
[CUE FLASHBACK]
He'd been on a quest. A quest of noble intentions. He'd wanted to see if there were holes in the floorboards of Xanxus's bedroom, because, well. It wouldn't do to have anyone spying on the boss. Lussuria not included.
And he'd found them.
Gathered around the foot of a christmas pudding, worshipping a rather large carrot, they had turned around and stared.
Lussuria never did explain away the bruises.
[END FLASHBACK]
Taking a few careful steps backward, attempting to tug Bel along, Lussuria placed a foot on a low cupboard, intending to jump onto it at the first sign of danger. Coward? Please. The Varia never took on missions they couldn't win, remember?
More importantly, the smurfs were getting closer, and Bel didn't seem to be showing any sign of letting up. Abandoning all thoughts of rescue, Lussuria slunk behind a shelf, to safety.
A large smurf, this one about ten centimetres tall, stepped forward. It waved its spear and cursed at Bel in an unintelligable tongue, fearsome tattoos glinting in the light. Lussuria recognized that one.
It was the chief.

[OOC: When you say 'Smurf', I think of a blue fuzzball with arms and legs sticking out of it, for some reason...xD]
Coltel was in the middle of stuffing another scone into her boots (since her jacket had ran out of space after the 48th scone) when she saw, well, a blue fuzzball. She frowned at it, but it didn't seem to have saw her since it carried on running? skipping?...whatever it was doing. From a distance not far away, she heard some voices again. This time, it wasn't hard to figure out where it came from, and who it was...clearly, it was Belphegor and Lussuria. Well...it won't hurt to go find them....
Going towards where she think the sound came from, she soon came across Lussuria, Bel, and...well...a whole swarm of those blue fuzzballs seperating her from them. Now that she's seen them close-up, they seem sort of cute, or at least they look cute from the behind. Coltel frowned again, and rubbed her temples. It was bad enough that this Pantry is so disorganized they had to spend a couple of hours just looking for a piece of meat, but this? "Lussuria, how many times do I have to tell you, Don't. Leave. Your. Toys. Lying. Around!" She glared at Lussuria, who happened to be cowering behind a shelf. How many times did she have to tell him not to leave his stuff around? First it was hair ribbons, then magazines, and now these dolls?

[OOC: Uhm...swearing alert ahead, look out!] From the long dining table, Xanxus lifted his feet once more until he was in a legs-crossed position, slouching in his throne like chair. "I don't remember you, trash," [/b] he bit out bluntly, looking bored. The girl's obvious submission and proposal brought an amused half chuckle out of Xanxus's throat, and he sat up higher, crossing his arms together. "Information broker, huh?"[/b] he inquired, gaze sharpening. What was Hakuren up to? "An information broker requesting something?"[/b] Xanxus's foot lashed out, kicking at the beef with such viciousness that it was obvious that his intent was to send it flying across the room - and even out of the window, if he could. "Trash!"[/b] the boss cursed, relaxing once more. "Who the fuck do you think you are, barging into here like this? Tell your family I'll fucking kill them!"[/b] "I'm smurfin' it! I'm smurfing the smurfs!" An excited chatter broke out from behind where Xanxus was sitting. The boss uncrossed his legs, bringing them crashing onto the floor with a large BANG. "Fuck this!"[/b] Xanxus swore. "I need a drink."[/b][/blockquote]
