I smirked and laughed. "You kidding me? She was practically using me as a practice dummy! I'm lucky she didn't pull out that rocket launcher too much! I'm surprised she didn't try that with you!" Speaking of Lady, I owe her money... Still.
Vergil then started talking about finding a place to stay and all that. Frankly, I began to worry about him living in a box outside of that Veil bar place. "If you really badly need a job or a place to stay, you can come here, and no this isn't a sympathy or pity kinda thing, it's a 'I might need help running this place' kinda thing." I placed the mop back in the bucket and looked at him.
"What do you say?"

Vergil smirked slightly at the image, it was a rather amusing thought that Dante would be used as such by a mere human woman. "If you recall, she did try." He said, referring to the incident where all three of them had battled each other before being tricked by Arkham.
His attention was drawn back to his brother as he heard the younger sibling's offer, his eyes narrowing in what were the beginning accusations of pity though they were quickly cut off by Dante's denial of such motives. He thought over it for a few moments, while obviously he and his twin would clash quite frequently he doubted that there would be any other profession that would so perfectly fit his skills. "Very well Dante, I will help."

"Alright sweet! If you are staying here then go upstairs and pick a room and get it all nice and set up. If not then help me set up the phone line once I'm done cleaning up the blood." It felt good to be the boss for once. I knew he wasn't going to allow himself to be pushed around though.
"So how does it feel knowing you are going to be working for your bro, eh?" I shut up then realizing that if I did this enough he'd eventually say 'screw it' and either kill me or quit. Neither would be good.

Needless to say, it felt strange being ordered about by his younger brother but he knew that these steps were necessary to getting things set up and income coming into the shop. Dante would hardly be able to keep the building if there wasn't some form of cash flow.
He went over to where he'd lain Yamato and picked it up, intending on placing it in the room he was going to choose before Dante spoke yet again. "If I hadn't been in the Demon World for the past two years, it would be my worst nightmare." He stated calmly as he ascended the stairs, picking out his room and placing Yamato on the bed inside.

Same old Vergil, after two years in Hell and probably getting tortured, he hadn't changed a bit. I continued to mop the floor until it was all but gone and then went on to try and install the phone line. I think it's pretty safe to say that this day hasn't been what I've expected. Don't know if it's good or bad yet but meh, I'll decide that later.

Riku walked into the store and looked around. "Nice setup. I knew something was diffrent when I walked down here." "Name's Riku by the way, I'm looking for a job and I was wondering if there were any openings." Riku may have been an Otherborn but he was still a teenager and needed a flow of income.

Huh, wow. People around here really notice newbies. I got up from where I was setting up the line. Would I need other people around here? More people would probably mean less money for me to pay off all those debts. "I don't think I got an opening right now kid, sorry about that." I thought for a moment.
"I'll let you know if I need a hand though." I felt kinda bad about not hiring this kid but Vergil got here first, unwilling or not, he was here first.

"Sounds fair." He wrote his number on a slip of paper and handed it to Dante. "In case you change your mind, give me a call." Riku then walked out onto the street before disappearing into the crowd.

"Hey Verg, I think the people around here are very... Observant, don't you?" Either way I just shrugged and went back to setting up my phone line. Can't have this kind of business and no way for people to get a hold of me.

It hadn't been hard to overhear the conversation from his room as the teenager had entered the store and had a short exchange with Dante before leaving. After a short moment he left his room and went to the railing of the suspended pathway, looking down on his younger twin. "So it would seem. Was it really wise to place your shop here?" He said as he turned his eyes to the shop's front windows which looked right out onto Main Street. It didn't seem like a good spot for a demon hunting business, too exposed.

"I told its customary," I hiss to Angel as I carry a cooling pie in my arms. "Besides I can invite them to thanksgiving too!"
"I don't like this," Angel frowns and I huff.
"Then stay outside!" I then enter the shop. "Hello? I'm here to welcome you to the neighborhood!" And I look over my shoulder, Angel did stay outside for once, wonder why...

Oh Vergil... I stood up from where I was and looked up at the banister he leaned on. "We can't help people if they can't get a hold of us! If someone is getting chased by a demon, and they can't find the building, we aren't helping anyone and they probably die." I shook my head and heard the door open.
First thing I noticed was the pretty blond girl. Big blue eyes, slender frame... Definitely cute, and the pie just made her even more gorgeous. "Thanks beautiful. Always nice to have people drop by." I grab the pie from her hands and smiled at her. She seemed sweet, and the pie seemed delicious. I placed the pie on my desk and looked up at Vergil. "See? People can find us here!"
I turned back to the blond girl and held my hand out. "Name's Dante, pleased to meet you. That creepy guy up there is my bro, Vergil."

"The pleasure is all mine kind sir," I say automatically going into formal mode and smiling to him. "My name is Namine and I'm sure you don't mean what you say about your brother, do you?" I glace to him. "He doesn't seem creepy to me."

Vergil shook his head at Dante's remark, his brother had always had a strange way of reasoning things out. However this was punctuated by the opening of the shop's door and the entrance of a young blonde girl apparently carrying pie which would without a doubt put her in Dante's good graces. Dante's 'creepy' remark did, however, earn him the narrowing of cold blue eyes from Vergil before he looked back to Namine. "Thank you, but I assure you that he means every word. I wouldn't put much stock in his opinion however." He replied with an amused smirk.

I smile to Vergil, "If you say so, sir Vergil." And then look back to Dante. "As I said before we're neighbors... If you need any help you can just find me a little ways down the street." But I don't go to leave yet, I kind of like it here.
