Man Of The Black Marks

[K2]

Assassin appeared, dressed within his Anrufe cloak, the one place he was least likely to appear... The place where everyone wanted him dead. He surely had a bounty on his head -- someone would want him dead. Hiro's island was not the ideal place for a picnic. Yet, the moment he arrived on the sandy shores of the beach, he merely sat near the ocean and spread out a sheet on the ground, pulling a picnic basket out of a portal and setting it on the ground next to his staff.

He sat down and began to eat.

Surprisingly, Hiro noticed him there yet didn't immediately move in for the bounty. He simply walked toward the man, who bounties indeed called Assassin, and said,"Good day, Assassin, right? What brings you here?"

[K2]

Assassin turned to see Hiro approached, but did not linger on it, and turned his head back to the sea as he took a bite out of his sandwich. It was so peaceful today, here, on this beach, with only the seagulls in the distance and the gleaming, blue ocean water in sight beyond. As the mercenary greeted Assassin, he could not help but be overwhelmed with emotion. This sight was available for these mercenaries every day. It was so... Beautiful.

"Come, join me," Assassin offered -- he had plenty enough food, "Let us talk about your... business."

[@Pokemon Master Red]

Hiroshima nodded, and sat down next to Assassin, pulling a sandwich up from the basket. "Sure, what in particular?" He asked, taking a bite and looking to the waves. A few of the Mercs were out surfing or swimming to their left, and Hiro felt happy they had a day to themselves for once. With some of the contracts lately being as dull as they were, the Mercs definitely deserved it, he thought.

[K2]

"I understand," Assassin said, in between a bite, "That your organization was hired a number of years ago to take us out. In fact, we are probably considered intergalactic fugitives. I want to change this. I am willing to offer a very generous deal if, instead of working against us, you were to... Occasionally help us achieve our goals."

[@Pokemon Master Red]

"Hmm...Don't remember accepting any contract like that one. Few bounties on specific members offered exclusively to us, but not the whole organization. As for your offer, well..." He shrugged, before continuing,"I dont see any reason we can't work together. As long as the pay is good, but that's just 'cause even Mercs need to eat, and take care of each other."

[K2]

"How does a planet sound to you?" Assassin proposed, like it was the simplest thing in the world, before taking a bite of his sandwich.

[@Pokemon Master Red]

Hiro laughed a bit, not as though Assassin had made a joke, just that such a thing was far from their typical pay for a job. "Well, I don't quite know what we'd do with a entire planet to ourselves. Be kinda lonely, actually, considering we've quite few numbers in comparison to a small hamlet."

[K2]

"Yeah, well, the offer stands," he replied, smiling.

[K2]

With a groan, Assassin stood, his eyes suddenly full of terror, as if he had just got some troubling news. He turned to Hiro, nodding his head at the man. "I hope we can continue this talk another time, but something urgent has come up."

And with that, he was gone.
