Actually, no. I was talking about Q, lol.

Ji raised his eyebrow at the man. "Are you sure about that? If I remember correctly, you have a very important friend on the line right now and it would be a shame if you were to forget the information that I needed so that you can free that friend."

PHEW! Glad I didn't just say "Melody" at some point.

"She's crazy, but she can't be..."

"I'm working on financial reports. I guess you might find those more boring."

"I mean, better than nothing, right? How can I help?"

That could've been a disaster. >.>

"The Angel of Death?" Ji finished the sentence, hopefully getting it correct. "If we're talking about the same person, then understand that I need to know where she is. Better yet, who she has killed recently."

"We... split up."

"Didn't think that she was in the romantic game," he said, half-joking to himself. Ji took a second to think, before looking to Ellis. "Last question: She's still in the city?"

"To my knowle--not split up like that."

"I know, I know," he chuckled, rolling his eyes a bit. "Anyways, your answer?"

Arthur took a few pages of paper and a pen, he then handed them towards Melody. "Simply add up the expenditures listed on the paper and be sure that they total to the number at the top." Arthur then went back to his papers. He then spoke without looking up. "So Ms. Melody, where are you from?"

"I'm not entirely sure where she is. Possibly gone back to the magician's tower?"

Ji nodded, taking in the bit of information before he answered. "Thank you kindly, Ellis," he said, smirking. "Now for my end of the deal: The Death Angels will be meeting in the Washdor Plaza. I, Ji Natio, will be there, as well as Kalter Junge, David Brown, and of course, Finnick Wilder."

He sat back down on the arm of the sofa, waving to the door. "You are free to leave, but remember that this will not be taken lightly." Ji gave Ellis a devilish smirk. "But do be a dear and give my regards to your girlfriend, why don't ya?"

"I'll let her know... when I find one." Ellis would've tipped his hat, had he had one. "Thank you."

"The pleasure has been mine," he said waving him away. "Now you might want to get outta here before my boss finds out that I was helping ya out. Good thing that I know how to handle myself."

Just now, Mystic Syn said:

"Alright." Ellis exited.

[Mystic Syn she/her]

"Alright." Ellis exited.

Ji watched him, leave then sighed in relief. A head peeked out from one of the rooms off to the left. It was one of the secretaries, looking to see if the stranger was really gone like Ji had wanted him to be. She carefully exited the room and made her way to Ji, her footsteps being the only noise in the room. He clasped his hands together, tapping his index fingers against one another as he waited for the secretary to say something to him.

"That meeting won't happen for a long time and you know that, Ji," she said as she approached to the pondering young man. She folded her arms as she watched the doors, as if she was expecting for Ellis to walk in at any moment to do something, but Ji knew that he wouldn't be back here. At least, not for a long while.

"I know, but he doesn't know that, and neither will the Mafia." He continued to tap his fingers against one another, pondering if he made the right decision to tell this stranger about a meeting that wasn't likely to happen for another few months.

The secretary pursed her lips. "And what about the Angel?"

Ji paused for a moment, considering his options of what he could say to her. "I needed to know whether she was in the same area as us, rather on the same planet as us." He said this in a serious tone, as if Ji knew exactly what Ellis had meant but no one was exactly sure.

The secretary looked confused for a second, then shook her head as she made her way back to the front desk to go back to her work. Her heels clicked away from Ji as he continued to study the inviting outdoors, remaining on the arm of the sofa. Ji was left to his thoughts, wondering if he could get away with what he had just told this stranger.

Ji rested his elbows on his knees. "Something tells me, Angel," he whispered softly, that no one could hear. "That this won't be the last that we'll encounter each other."

Am I sorry about this blob of text? No.

Melody took the papers and pen, examining them. "Okay, looks simple. I'm from the more rural area of Pamant, you probably haven't heard of it. Where... is this, exactly?"

"Trying to find the person who gave the prophecy. No idea where they were going, but we had to split up."
