Tony arrives at the castle and swiftly makes his way inside. He really needed to get himself a castle. How he didn't have one all already was a bit surprising. However, the medieval times were such a fun time that getting a castle slipped his mind. Once inside, he could sense holy and unholy being. Lucie what did you get me into? He headed up some steps and sees some virtues and sins standing in the room. "Well look what the cat dragged in." He mocked his arms outstretched.
Isabella eyed the sins warily and made sure to keep her distance. She crossed her arms over her chest and hoped Michael would appear to explain what is going on. She really hoped that Lust wouldn't appear but she had a sinking suspicion that the sin would be coming to this little meeting. She swiftly pulls out her phone and starts texting a few of her friends distracting her from all of this nonsense.

Date: Tues, June 11, 2019 Time: 13:00 hours (GMT-5) Location: New York City, New York, USA ________________________________________ "Haven't a clue," Lucifer replied brightly. "I haven't been in... Oh, how long has it been? A decade? A century?" His finger drummed rapidly on his opposite forearm as he thought about it, but in the end, he just shrugged. "Meh, can't remember. But a while, that for sure."
He nodded to himself, momentarily lost in thought. As an angel, Lucifer didn't need to sleep, but he'd spent enough time with humans, living like a human, that he almost felt tired. He'd been awake for over forty-eight hours now, and while, logically, he knew that was whatever and he wasn't truly as tired as he felt, but it was enough to make him totally lose his train of thought and purpose for a minute.
Then he snapped back to reality with another bright smile. "So!" he said cheerily. "How does a family reunion sound to you?"

Date: Mon, June 10, 2019 Time: 13:00 Hours (GMT-5) Location: New York City, New York ______________________________ Logan managed to get the itch to simmer some, eyes already shifting faintly to mirror Lucifer’s in hue, the dark irises lightening to a more hazel or amber tone. His lashes had already lengthened even more, dark and curling up as his teeth shifted to give him dimples when he smiled, a feature that was both adorable and painful. Logan swallowed, hands tightening into fists as he managed to quell the rest of his body’s urges.
For now, anyway.
He watched quietly as Lucifer gazed off, noting the tired expression mirrored there as he saw in so many of the humans he worked with. Empty people with no purpose; blank entities with no defined existence ahead. Envy ate people like them up because Envy was always able to move and stay one step ahead of them. A man with a plan, even a bad one at that, was better than a man with no plan, right?
Right.
Logan focused in as Lucifer spoke, posture leaning in somewhat, almost conspiratorially. He couldn’t help it; Logan craved undivided attention more than anything. Especially Lucifer’s, no matter how nervous or itchy it made him. Even just having the devil’s gaze on him for a second was satisfying in a way he couldn’t understand, and really didn’t want to. He was quiet for a moment at the question, nose crinkling slightly as a grimace found its way onto his lovely expression.
”A reunion? What for?” Logan was always, annoyingly, good at asking questions. He always seemed to know exactly which question to ask to redirect the conversation.
Just another way to ensure he kept control.

Date: Tues, June 11, 2019 Time: 10:00 hours (EDT) Location: The Excelsior Hotel New York City, New York ___________________________________ When Eclipse arrived in New York, he wasted no time booking himself into a hotel. He still had more than twenty-four hours to kill, and as anxious as he was to hear what Michael had to say, it wasn’t in his nature to sit around, worrying and pacing. So as soon as his things were in his room, Eclipse ordered a big meal up to his room and enjoyed every bite before setting out into the city.
And there he spent the rest of the day. Sightseeing, exploring, and enjoying the hustle and bustle of New York. He hadn’t been to this city in years; he’d forgotten how alive it was. Always full of motion and excitement and fast-paced action. As much as he loved nature, enjoyed the calm and quiet it provided, this was the sort of environment Eclipse lived for. A place where there was always more to do, more to see and experience.
The only problem? The place was in need of some serious kindness. Good thing Kindness himself had arrived.
And so, throughout his two days in New York City, Eclipse enjoyed himself to the fullest - and he spread his virtue everywhere he went while he was at it. It was a very busy two days, and Eclipse loved every second of it.

A bit of news: Edited: In an effort to move the plot along, can everyone (who hasn't already) bring their Virtues to Belvedere? And if Lucifer has already found and convinced your Sin (Pride Greed, Lust, Sloth), you can send them to the Castle too. Lucifer is in the progress on convincing two Sins (Envy, Wrath), and as soon as that's done, those two can join the rest of the group. As for Gluttony, we might need to replace them (and Diligence) if @.twistedheart doesn't show up soon. :/ Other than that, everything is moving smoothly, and I can't wait to really get into this plot with you guys! ;D

Date: Tues, June 11, 2019 Time: 13:00 hours (GMT-5) Location: New York City, New York, USA ________________________________________ Lucifer smiled. "Who for," he corrected, then answered with, "For me. I want you to meet up with the other Sins. I've got a mission for you lot, and I'm willing to do or give you anything you want in exchange. A favour for a favour." Lucifer had found he was quite fond of that phrase. He would have to use it more often, with the Sins as well as humans. Heck, maybe he could even get it to work on his brothers, too. That would be nice.
"What do you think?" he continued. His smile turned sly. "I know there's lots you want, my little Envy. Pick something, something only I can give you, and it's yours as soon as the mission is completed." Lucifer was the Lord of Hell; the rebellious brother who had "fallen" from grace. But he always kept his word and upheld his promises. It was like his own sin - or would it be considered a virtue? It was just something he had to do, whether he wanted to or not. It was part of him and, most of the time, it was a part he really liked. So far, none of the Sins had given him a reason to change that opinion.

(I have come!)
Lust made it to her destination. She came in and looked around. "Hey, some old 'friends'." She said, frowning. Then she smiled at some of the male virtues, and when she saw Greed her face lit up. "Hey, Greed, want some money, honey?" She asked, coming over to him.
Nexus was there too, thinking 'Please don't let Pride come, PLEASE don't let Pride come...' He knew that Pride would want to kill him in a heartbeat. He looked around and frowned at Lust and Greed. Two sins already, huh? He just hoped that the others weren't going to be a problem.

Date: Wed, June 12, 2019 Time: 16:00 hours (EDT) Location: Belvedere Castle, Central Park New York City, New York _______________________________________ Ira stood entranced, her bright gaze locked into the actors currently reciting a favorite of hers; Othello. Shakespeare in the Park had always been a favorite of hers, having once stood beside the man himself as he wrote countless classics. He had always been a patient man, she had admired that about him, but it had been his audience that had needed her gentle guidance. These days, they simply shortened his plays to make them more accessible and enjoyable to their audiences. These patrons were patient brought but Ira could feel their relief as the actors took their final bow; today was hot and there was little shade to protect them from the sun’s unforgiving rays. Taking a sip of her lemonade, she set it down quickly on the ground beside her to clap and faltered for a moment when she felt something approach her. “ Patience.” Glancing next to her, she pushed her sunglasses down her nose to eye Pride before turning back to the actors. “Funny seeing you here. You knocked over my lemonade.” “Actors are always prideful people,” he shrugged, bending down to pick up her knocked over cup. “Let me buy you a new one.” Ira’s relationship with Mark was an odd one at that. Neither would consider the other a friend but they were kind enough to the other. Patience and pride worked together often, with prideful people often driven to patience in order to achieve their desires. Still, they hadn’t seen each other in years. “As long as you aren’t using blood money.” So the two walked together, Patience sipping at her refreshing lemonade as Pride watched her. “Should I ask why you’re here?” Ira asked, chewing at her straw. Mark reached out and pulled the straw out of her mouth, commenting on her bad habit before saying, “I’ve a job to do. I suppose it’s the same with you?” “Isn’t it always? Where are you headed?” “Belvedere Castle at midnight.” He shrugged, pushing his own sunglasses further up his nose. Catching her surprise, he laughed and said, “We’re headed to the same place, aren’t we?” Laughing, she said, “Michael and Lucifer must be up to something.” Glancing at her watch, she asked quickly, “Might as well get dinner then, it’s only six.” They went to their usual pizza place, a restaurant that had opened in the sixties and had been selling 99 cent pizza for the past fifty years. Around 11 the two shared a taxi, walking beside each other as they discussed their lives since last meeting. Upon entering the castle, they gave each other a nod before casually approaching their separate parties, acting as though they hadn’t just spent the day together. Still, the two seemed to be the only ones not surprised to see the others.

"I always want money darling." Tony answered as she walked over to him. He eyes the virtues for a moment before looking back at Lust. "What have you got for me?" He questioned leaning in a little bit. He had plenty of money but loved having more.

Date: Wed, June 12, 2019 Time: 24:00 hours (EDT) Location: Belvedere Castle, Central Park New York City, New York _______________________________________ Eclipse was a little late to the Castle. Totally his own fault, but really. No one could have expected him to just walk past the garbage can and leave the baby racoon stuck inside. It had taken quite a bit of maneuvering, quick reflexes, and a lot of soothing chatter, but he had succeeded in his task, and that's what's important. The good long scratch down the back of his forearm was inconsequential in comparison to the happiness he felt watching the little guy run up a tree and be reunited with his mother.
Being late wasn't that big a deal either, considering there were Sins present here as well.
The had definitely surprised Eclipse when he stepped into the grand room of the Castle. Michael hadn't mentioned anything about the Sins, but since they were here, and they looked like they'd been summoned, same as the Virtues, that must mean Michael was aware. Eclipse didn't want to see any fights break out because the Sins thought it would be a good idea to "crash the party."
With a quiet, contemplative grunt, Eclipse wandered over to the side of the room where the other Virtues were standing. He grinned. "Hey, everyone. It's great to see you all! It's been way too long."

"Oh, just five thousand. Isn't Vegas great?" Lust responded. "It's in cash, so if you want it, I can give it to you now." She smiled at him, getting a little closer. She pulled out her purse, and opened it to show it filled with cash. "I'm pretty popular with the men of Vegas."

Nexus smiled at Eclipse and said, "Welcome! It really has been too long." He was happy to have his fellow Virtues with him. He looked cautiously at the Sins and whispered to the other Virtues, "Does anyone know what that's about? Y'know, having the Sins here too?" (Being the naive kinda stupid sweetheart he is, he doesn't understand one bit)

Tony's eyes light up when he sees the large sum of money. He briefly glances up at Lust and grins widely at her. "I'm with ya there. They don't call it sin city for nothing." He said his hand inching closer and closer towards the money. "You ought to stop by the casinos. Plenty of desperate people there just waiting to have their lives ruined."

"You ever been to a strip club? Me being there is equivalent to a ruined relationship and lots of tips." Lust responded. She saw him getting closer to the money and smirked. She bundled the money together and held it out to him. "All yours, sweetheart. I can get anything I want for free with this face and body."

Date: Wed, June 12, 2019 Time: 12:00 hours (CDT) Location: Punta Cana Dominican Republic __________________________ When Lucifer set out to convince the last Sin to join the rest, he almost changed his mind and took off for places unknown. Lucifer wasn't afraid of Wrath - although he could admit that the cunning devil-Sin was terrifying - but he knew the Sin of Wrath would take the most convincing. And request the highest price.
Then there was the little problem of trust. As in: Lucifer didn't trust that Wrath would do everything he could to stop the Ancient Demons. In fact… Lucifer felt there was a chance Wrath would decide to side with the demons, if the clever Sin saw a way to turn such a betrayal to his advantage.
But Lucifer had promised Michael all seven Sins, so all seven he would get. Unfortunately, that meant Lucifer would have to stick around for the meeting. Getting Wrath to Belvedere may be possible, but asking him to obey Michael? Not gonna happen. Wrath barely listened to Lucifer, and Lucifer had actually battled Wrath to earn the Sin's respect and reluctant obedience.
Lucifer really hoped another fight wasn't necessary. They'd nearly wiped out an entire nation the last time they went at it.
So, with less than twelve hours on the clock, Lucifer arrived in Punta Cana, braced for a battle of wills.
It was midday. The sun was warm and shining. There was a nice breeze off the water. And the Sin of Wrath, lord of war and destruction, was standing on an overlook watching the ocean.
Lucifer sighed. “You knew I was coming.” It wasn't a question.
“I showed you how to find me,” Wrath corrected. “Why are you gathering the Sins?”
Lucifer tapped a beat on his leg with his fingers, his hands itching for a weapon. Normally he preferred to win fights with wits or magic; only with Wrath did he seek the reassurance of having his Lightbringer in hand. “Your spies are getting better.”
Without turning his head, Wrath glanced at Lucifer with a look that asked if he was stupid. “No they haven't. This is the twenty-first century. A text takes a second to send. I knew you were visiting each Sin almost the moment you arrived at each of their homes.”
Lucifer was well aware of the power of human technology, but he'd never bothered to acquire any of his own. “Alright, so you know I'm gathering the Sins. If I refuse to tell you why, will that be enough to make you want to join them at Belvedere Castle tonight?”
“No.”
“Damn.” Couldn't blame a guy for trying. “Will you go if I ask you to?”
Wrath glanced at him again, this time with a wicked quirk to his lips. “Are you asking or telling?”
Lucifer narrowed his eyes. “If telling is what it takes, then that's what I'm doing.”
Wrath chuckled, but there was no pleasantness in the sound. “And what of my favour? You offered one to the others. Did you intend to offer me one as well?”
Damn. Wrath's spies really were good.
Lucifer hesitated. “I do,” he replied slowly, “but you know I'll have to put restrictions on you.”
Wrath turned away with a snicker. “Right. Because I'd use a favour from you to start another world war and wreak havoc across the globe.”
“You telling me you won't?” Lucifer didn't sound convinced. What else would the Sin of Wrath want? He lived for war. He had been part of the cause for almost every war in history. He almost always participated in them, at least for a couple months or years. It was where Lucifer had seen him look most at ease. But now he was trying to say he didn't want another world war?
Wrath snorted. “Of course not. If I wanted a world war, I would cause one. I don't need your help for that.”
Lucifer found he couldn't argue that point. He was almost afraid to ask. “Then what do you want?”
When Wrath looked at him next, Lucifer knew he had been right to be wary. Wrath's request was going to be just as bad, if not worse, than him asking for help to start a world war.
He was proved right a moment later.
“I want Hell,” Wrath stated simply. “And everything that comes with it.”

Mark couldn’t help but watch fondly as Ira joined her Virtues, having always viewed her as a kindred spirit. They had been close before the fall, something she never liked to admit but Mark was a prideful man and never left her forget it. He was about to join his Sins, maybe boast about his great adventures and scared a few of them before he noticed Nexus with a look of horror on their face. He loved to torment that spineless boy and he felt himself smile a wicked grin as he approached the group. When Nexus’ eyes met his, he let out a low chuckled and said, “Funny seeing you here, Humility. Don’t you have some trees to save?” As he grew closer, he felt Ira’s eyes on him but he ignored it, preferring to taunt the scrawny blonde. “You look as if you’ve seen a ghost, Nexus—” “Leave him alone, Pride.” Ira warned, stepped towards the smirking man. Glancing at her, he shrugged and said, “I’m just playing around with the kid, chill out.” “ Marcus.” She growled firmly, stepping in between the two, a hand planted firmly on the giant man’s chest while the others reached back to protect the nervous man behind her. Her harsh glare softened and she urged gently, “Please. I’m asking you as a friend to stop. He’s had enough.” Pride frowned and glanced around before stepping back. “I’d watch your back, Humility. I’ve made a deal with Lucifer and I intend to collect.” “Always a pleasure, Ira,” he nodded before stalking off. As he returned to his group, he couldn’t help but listen to Ira as she softly comforted Humility. “It’s okay, Nexus. He won’t bother you, I promise. The Sins were called here just like us, he’s got a job to do just like you and I.” {{ tinyflame }}

Date: Wed, June 12, 2019 Time: 24:00 hours (EDT) Location: Belvedere Castle, Central Park New York City, New York _________________________________________ Eclipse was about to answer Humility's question - he had no idea what was going on - but Pride chose that moment to come over and try making trouble. Eclipse watched the confrontation between the Sin and Patience, a frown on his face. He wasn't one for violence, but he was ready to help Ira defend Nexus if he had to.
After Mark walked away, Eclipse let out a quiet breath. He really hoped everyone would be calm and docile for the rest of the meeting - especially if Wrath showed up. There was a chance he wouldn't - he wasn't the most trustworthy Sin. The Sins and Virtues could rarely, if ever, influence each other with their sin/virtue, but Wrath had a way about him that always set everyone on edge and made them more volatile. Even the Virtues weren't entirely immune, though their reactions were never as... violent, as the Sins' could get.
With a shake of his head, he looked from the Sins to Ira and Nexus. "You two okay?" he asked.

Smiling at Eclipse, she nodded as she crossed her arms over her chest. “I’m fine, I’m just—I’m so sorry for him; he’s rarely like this. I suppose everyone being here has everyone on edge.” Glancing over at the group of sins, her smile faltered when she noticed Wrath had not yet arrived and she cleared her throat. She couldn’t deny that she too was on edge, feeling sick to her stomach at the thought of being in the same room as such a murderous sin as Wrath. Every atom of her existence directly opposes his and she feared she’d soon loose her mind if he got too close.
She couldn’t help but blame herself for the many wars that had happened in this world, too weak to stop him and save countless lives. It boiled her blood to watch him smirk with the other Sins. Seeing Pride glare at the other sins eased her in knowing she wasn’t the only one to feel that way. Still, she reached into the pocket of her long yellow skirt decorated with delicate white flowers and pulled out a calming stone, rubbing her thumb slowly across a groove warn from years of rubbing and sighed as she calmed herself down.
“But how are all of you? I haven’t seen any of you in years.” She beamed, looking back at the other Virtues with kind eyes. “I’d tell you all about what I’ve done but I fear it’d be rather boring in comparison to what you all have done.”

"I'm okay..." Nexus responded with a wavering voice, showing that he was not okay. "Just a little scary." He was resisting the urge to whimper at that. He was terrified of Pride from his many experiences with the Sin, which were usually not pleasant. He looked at Eclipse and said that he had been helping save animals from abuse, and had helped pass a law prohibiting abusive animal owners from ever owning a pet again. (Which should be reality, honestly.)
Lust gave a look to Pride, which said, 'Nice, but stop.' She went over to him and said, "Well, something up sweetheart? Don't like the looks of a scrawny blond? He looks like he'll be whimpering any second now." She laughed a little. "I think it would pretty satisfying seeing your enemy enslaved, no? Wouldn't that be fun?" (Well, she IS a sadist, though she's trying to save Nexus/Humility's life. Nexus won't appreciate either treatment, by the way XD)
