Who's the new person in your avatar, Ludi? @Dusk: Actually...yeah. I would be.  No one's tried beating up on me, though. Must be a girl thing. Makoto Nanaya of BlazBlue.
Basically, Squirrel Girl. |

Moloch headed for the inn, sitting in the common room and staring into the fire when Eli came in. "We are in no small amount of danger, Eli. We are going to have to take a risk," he said.
"What are you talking about?" Eli inquired.
"The new occult shopkeeper, and her bodyguard. They are not what they seem, and I think they are onto our operation." He got out an inkwell and a brush, and started laying designs on the head of his axe. "They know the spirits are being summoned, and are hunting for the one responsible."
"You," Eli clarified.
"But it isn't." Moloch looked up at his axe, digging out three more runed spheres from deep within his satchel. "I will need you to set an ambush earlier, with some of the men. Come here."
Eli obliged him, and Moloch slit Eli's hand with a silver knife. Moloch held the spheres to the cut hand for a while, then drew them away. There was no blood on the metal, though, as if they had drank it. "There, it's done. You can use these spheres to summon and control spirit creatures stronger than we've brought down before," he explained.
"S-stronger? This... this is serious, then," Eli said, his eyes wide.
"I trust you. Once we pull this off, we will truly own this town. I do not tolerate threats to my plans..." Moloch fell silent, and went back to painting the runic design onto his axe. |

| "When you don't see it coming? Yeah," Taylor said, a hint of a laugh in his voice. "It'll be fine." He smiled as he walked around her back, leaning down just over her shoulder, and whispered, "I love you." |

| Taylor stood, headed over to Saber, laying his hand on her shoulder and looking her in the eyes. "Saber. I like you, trust you, respect you. I'd go through hell for you, alright? If I didn't want this... I'd have said 'no' already," he said, cupping his hand under her chin. Before she could say anything, he kissed her. |

After Ki left, Moloch chuckled quietly. "It's not chess, though. Just checkers. And if given opportunity to, one must capture a piece," he muttered. He totally planned to "cooperate", it would give him perfect opportunity to silence the naysayers in his ranks, like Eli. It was a shame, though, he'd have to split such a pretty skull for his ambitions. No matter, once Ki and Amber were safely within his true sphere of influence, they would be his to mold. |

| "I would have to sleep on that decision. It is an intriguing offer, but one I cannot just accept in a vacuum," Moloch said. "Especially considering you did throw half a dozen of my men out the windows. One might be inclined to consider that, and your offer given the circumstances, as an insult. Perhaps if there was some sort of incentive, my men and I could consider ignoring that particular offense." |

| He honestly hadn't expected Saber to answer that way, not after she'd defended his critique of the Squad. "It's quite different for me. I had to adapt the skills of a killer, to those of an investigator. I had to build trust with people who had plenty of reason to distrust me. I didn't go in wanting this kind of life... But with what I was given, and a little bit of help from folks who saw my potential, I built it into something I can call my own." Taylor looked up from the floor to Saber, while her back's turned. "I've put a lot of myself into it... but it's not like there isn't room for another." |

| Taylor picked up on the question Saber was leading to. "Retire completely? I'm not sure. I'd definitely scale it back. I've been trying that for some time..." he said. "What about you? Could you bring yourself to leave the Spirit Squad?" |

| "I have difficulty pronouncing my given name; so I just go by 'Moloch,'" he said with a shrug; though a brief bout with annoyance flashed across his face. It faded just as quick as it came. "I'll not take up any more of your time, Mr. Ki. I'm sure you've further investigating to do; I'll do my best to keep my gang out of your way," he finished, getting ready to leave. |

| "Why? It's selfish, but it's so people can respect me. Most people, where I've been, tend to vilify mixed-species individuals, and my parentage is even worse than most. You see, I'm half demon. Literal hellspawn. I need to prove that I'm at least as good as people think they are; but my heritage works against me. So I need to do something a bit more... exotic, to keep from attracting the torch-and-pitchfork crowd," Moloch said, bowing his head as he quietly revealed his nature in the all-but-empty tavern. "As for how many people... let's just say the idea worked a little too well. People saw a hero and started flockin'." |

| Taylor was hesitant for a moment, then nodded. "I have. Often. But I've never had anything to give it up for. No family. All my friends know me for all this..." he confessed, unwrapping the strap of his rifle from around his shoulders. "I give it up, I'd pretty much disappear," he said. "Not that it's been an unappealing thought. I could disappear. Clean slate, new life... But then, I'm not sure I could live with myself if I did. I can't see just living for myself..." |

| "Really, now?" Moloch said. "But that aside, you seem like you'd be rather competent on your own, why drag her along when she's such an apparent liability?" He tilted his head inquisitively, the light reflecting off his eyes shifted, making them seem more red than brown. |

| Taylor gave Saber a disbelieving look, but it faded. Taylor's problem wouldn't be with Saber, but the philosophy of the Spirit Squad as a whole. He wouldn't take it out on Saber. "Preventing events like this wouldn't just protect the mortals victimized; it'd also safeguard the spirits involved as well," he said after a few moments, sitting down by Saber. He tried to disentangle his thoughts, he'd make little headway before they turned to the woman sitting next to him again. |
