Of Ninjas and Underhanded Tactics

Character(s): Sephiroth, Konan, Zetsu
Content: A meeting that changes everything
Setting: Near Niflheim gate
Time: Late afternoon
Warnings: The beginnings of subterfuge. =D

All was not well within the city. That much was obvious to anyone who read the message boards or the journals.

It was a clear day, not an unusual occurrence in Paixao. The sun smiled overhead as it always did, and what few clouds there were, were the white and fluffy variety. Entirely normal... for Paixao.

The people, however, were anything but. The formerly bright and happy people were anything but, it seemed, and they had every right to be frightened or angry. Someone had killed their mayor, after all. All the evidence pointed to Organization XIII. All of it, from murder to subterfuge to kidnapping and torture. All for no readily apparent reason.

Sephiroth stood about a block from the gate, leaning against a light post as he observed the comings and goings, trying to figure out the best way of breaching that gate, preferably one that would not leave a crowd of dead bodies in his wake.

Konan was not one to stand back. She did not have conventional weapons, and did not wish to reveal her powers just yet; they were useful for her work, but moreso if they went unrealized. So she felt in her supply for the colored paper, and formed them into dark grey kunai, pulling them from her pockets. They were indistinguishable from one made of metal, and she preferred it that way.

Her stance moved instantly into a more reactive, fighting posture; she would be best off keeping her distance, as she did not know how much power the beast held, but it was certainly large enough to be worrying.

"There are many strange things here," Konan commented, as if this was only a minor annoyance.
