The Konpeki Plaza

Nesiara was sitting in Misty's Esoterica as she was laying on Misty's chair while Misty was right now helping Viktor with something important as John was watching them learning from Viktor when V and Jackie enter through the door.

"Where is Misty?" asks V curious as Nesiara point behind herself.

"She is helping Viktor with a patient. I am tending the shop until she is done," says Nesiara as she was playing with Misty's Tarot Cards making them float over the counter.

"If anyone sees that magic trick they would storm into the shop just to know their future," says V as she sits across from Nesiara while Jackie lays down on the chair which Misty uses to relax when she doesn't gas customers.

"It is quite boring but I heard that someone has a big job for you two," says Nesiara as the two partners looked at her seriously.

"It seems people talk a lot lately," says V as Nesiara smiles at her.

"The Fixers like to talk to their best mercs after all. They told us that someone has become crazy enough to steal from Arasaka and that two mercs that we know are interested in the said gig," says Nesiara as she stopped playing with the cards.

"I won't stop you since it is your big opportunity to get to the Big League as you two have been dreaming. But remember to ask for help if you are in a difficult position. We don't care if this world paints us as villains," says Nesiara as V has received a phone from them.

"We have gone through a lot of dangerous situations without your help. Why should it be different this time around?" says Jackie not feeling scared about the job.

"I am just giving you advice. You don't have to listen to it if you think that nothing is going to happen but if the worst comes to happen don't forget that you have friends that can help you out," says Nesiara as Misty enters her shop from the back entrance.

She sees the duo and Nesiara as Nesiara stands up and says, "I still have things to do. We will see each other later."

Nesiara leaves through the back entrance to see John and Viktor while the duo looked at Misty who seemed worried about something.

John was looking the same match with Viktor again while his clone was cleaning the mess left behind. They see Nesiara who asks, "Are you looking that fight again? Viktor, you need to let go of it. It won't bring help looking at what could have been."

"I know, but looking at him fighting again reminds me of the time we spent together in the NC Devils Boxing Club. Back then nothing was bought or completely synthetic," says Viktor nostalgic about it.

"Did the two fools come to Misty's Esoterica?" asks John as he loved the fight since it looked quite professional compared to the other fights he saw on the tv.

"They did, I hope they see reason and call us if something goes wrong," says Nesiara as Viktor paused the clip and looked at the couple.

"What is going on here?" asks Viktor worried as he knew that they were talking about V and Jackie at the moment.

John and Nesiara called only them as Fools while referring to Rogue as the Harpy lately in front of Viktor.

"Nothing, at least for now. It all depends on V and Jackie and their future decisions. We can't interfere with them except they want our help or they will hold it against us their whole life," says John seriously as he knew what those two were going through at the moment.

"When you are young you don't want the help of anyone until it is too late. I and Nesiara went through the same when we were younger. In the end, we got the help we needed," says John remembering the lessons he and Nesiara went through in the early years of their lives.

"It was formerly beaten into us by your grandfather and my grand-uncles," says Nesiara remembering how Sion and Gabriel trained them in Aincrad.

"What is going to happen to them?" asks Viktor worried about the Merc Duo as the couple sighs.

"Nothing we can't fix without help. You are after all talking to people which can tear through reality if they move too fast by accident," says John as he moved his hand fast enough to open a rift in the friction of reality.

"But we still don't stand over Death nor over the man she married. We all follow rules which can be bent in some way tricking the Balance. And that is what we will do if the worst were to happen to V and Jackie. We wouldn't just stand still just because they think they can deal with what is coming.

If you think like that you really don't know us. We made a reservation in the Konpeki Plaza months ago under our names just for what will happen tomorrow and watch over them," says Nesiara as they already planned everything from the beginning.

"I have to get my old suit out of the wardrobe. I hope it still fits me," says John as he wasn't thrilled about putting it on.

"We all have to make sacrifices to keep them alive," says Nesiara not thrilled either by putting a dress on which will limit her freedom to move.

"See you another day, Vik. Duty is calling us," says John to Viktor before he and Nesiara left to prepare.

The next morning they were in clothes they despised as they drove the Regalia towards the Konpeki Plaza. They get out of it and John throws the key towards one of the hotel's parking servers.

They enter the hotel and they needed to go through the scanner as one of the employees was going over a list when he asks, "And you are?"

"Mr. and Mrs. Crownguard, we made a reservation for the whole week wanting to know how it feels to be in one of the famous hotel brands around the world," says Nesiara using her charm as the man finds them on the list.

"Right, I have found you. You will be staying for a week as you have already announced. We had a cancellation some minutes ago. Maybe you want to upgrade to a bigger room and more privilege," says the employee trying to lure more money out of their pockets.

"What do you say, darling?" asks Nesiara playing her role as John smiles playing his part.

"Of course, everything for my Queen," says John as they walked to the reception where the employee informs the receptionist about John wanting an upgrade.

"I heard you wanted to upgrade to a better room with more freedom. How about the all-inclusive package, does that sound alright for you?" asks the receptionist going through the database as John only smiles.

"Of course," says John putting the Chop on the counter as the receptionist inserts it and booked the room while discounting the money from it.

She returns from the Chop back to John who seemed to put it into his pocket but he made Justice store it away.

The receptionist then notices that John and Nesiara were completely organic and tells one of the employees to get some ribbons to tie them around their wrist so Nesiara and John could enter any area without having to pay for them.

"Alright, with those you won't have to pay for anything while you stay in the Konpeki Plaza. Everything will be at your disposal even some Joytoys if you want to spice up your love life," says the receptionist as Nesiara looked at John.

"What do you think, you, me, and some random woman?" asks Nesiara in her role as John was caught by surprise which made Nesiara chuckle from seeing him like that.

"We should get some drinks for today maybe enjoy some company while doing so," says Nesiara winking at the receptionist as she leads John away from the reception.

They walk for a bit as she drags John into the bar to get themselves something strong as Nesiara ordered two of the most expensive bottles of whiskey to be sent to their room.

Nesiara then drags John to the elevator while her eyes turned red before saying, "I think they have bought our act."

"It should since it also took me quite by surprise," says John as Nesiara created an illusion for the camera to not see or hear them.

"Do you want to experiment a bit? We have some time and our sex could be described as a bit boring after so many years of fucking each other the same way over and over again. Involving another woman might spicy it up for a bit," says Nesiara as John coughed up for a moment.

"Are you serious?" asks John as Nesiara turned around with a smile.

"Of course not, but you won't have sex with them but I will. That way I can transform into those women and use my clones to seduce you," says Nesiara teasing John about it.

"I would rather have boring but wild sex with you than see you enjoy the company of random women," says John which made Nesiara smile as the elevator stopped and they leave it finding themselves in the room already.

"I think we are right under the objective," says Nesiara surprised as she walked when she sees a whole bar with bottles of every brand.

"It seems you didn't need to order something from the bar downstairs," says John holding the bottle Nesiara ordered just a moment ago.

"Well, more drinks for us," says Nesiara as she took the bottle from John's hands and opened it taking a sniff from it.

"Sweet and strong just like I love them," says Nesiara as she looks at John.

"Well, we still have some time so why don't we-" says John as Nesiara was far ahead of him.

She already ripped her clothes from her body and began to pour the honey whiskey over her body when John followed her example ripping his clothes off before taking Nesiara right there.
