Sindom Apartment AU - Residents

(I blame Cute for this entirely)

Krum - Kumkrum,alternately called Livid, Krum, or KK, has lived in thebuilding the longest. She lives in the A apartment on the tenth floor. Krum is the kindest resident, and she is also the most helpful, often giving out tips and advice to the others as well as doing small things to make everyone’s day a little easier. As the longest surviving resident, Krum is often the one to help new residents find their way, although she never turns her back on older residents either. She is typically the one to warn new residents to not be afraid of Jazi, although they rarely take her advice. Krum has a passion for art and for helping people fall in love, especially if it’s the kind of love that torments you for a long time before getting to the actual love part. Krum has an adorable pet dog by the name of Luna, and once a month she has a lovely lady visitor stop by who is also named Luna. She attends an art school that sounds too good to be true, and she is highly skilled in both animation and traditional drawing.

Jazi - Jazi, also called Jay, is another long lasting resident in the building, although he has moved out and back in twice. Jazi is the second resident on the tenth floor, and lives in the B apartment. Most new residents live in fear of Jazi because he tends to look very intimidating, although once he warms up he can be very helpful. Jazi is the leader of a local biker gang, although outside of biking they also run an animal rescue shelter. Due to the lack of a landlord, if anything in one of the apartments breaks, Jazi is the person who will come over and fix it, and if he can’t, one of the members of his gang typically can. Despite the terrifying exterior, Jazi is very good at giving advice and is always ready to listen if the other residents need someone to talk to. Although not currently attending school, Jazi is thinking about attending an art school soon, should it fit in his schedule.

Cute - Cute, sometimes called Cutie or Cuteness, is one of the newer residents in the building. She lives in the A apartment on the seventh floor. Following a series of unfortunate events that left her entire extended family dead, Cute was forced to leave her home and travel elsewhere for school. Although she has a great sense of humor, Cute tends to be shy and doesn’t always speak her mind, although the other residents are trying to get her to change her ways. Her apartment is nearly full with boxes of possessions from family members that she still needs to go through, although her time has recently been eaten up with both school and her attempting to adjust to life away from the frozen wonderland where she grew up. Cute has a pet snake named Paul who has recently adopted the Nuggerist diet and tends to sneak away a lot. She is a first year art school student who switches between traditional and digital drawing.

Sweet - Sweet or Sweetness is the newest resident of the building. They have recently moved in to the B apartment on the seventh floor. Sweet is rather clueless as to the inner workings of the building and its residents, although they are very much enjoying the company and the insane shenanigans that go on. They talk often with their floor mate Cute, who has been a big help in figuring out how things work inside the building. Sweet is not quite sure how they managed to get into the building because they lack art skills, but the others seem to enjoy their stick-figure comics so they’ve begun to let it go. They have a pet snake named Joseph, who has been a Nuggerist since they got him. Recently, Sweet has noticed that Joseph goes missing, and they think he and Paul from across the hall are in a relationship, although Cute thinks the idea is ridiculous. Sweet has taken to leaving puns in Jazi’s mailbox, which the latter is none too happy about. Sweet is a polyglot who is studying languages in school.

Ann­ - Ann, known only as Ann, is another seasoned resident in the building. She lives on the fourth floor in the A apartment. Despite not being in the building much, Ann is a favorite among the residents. Ann seems to travel often, although she makes an effort to stop by at least once a day. On top of her around the world travels and school schedule, Ann is also the leader of a booty hunting gang. Ann is currently the highest ranked booty hunter on the planet, and when she is in the building she often scouts out booties through her window. Ann is an art student as well, although she is studying graphic design, animation, and illustration.

Mango - Mango is the buildings youngest resident. She lives in the B apartment on the second floor. Mango is still lost in the public school system, although she hopes to one day become an independent artist like the other residents. Mango is responsible for the drawings all over the walls of the hallways, although her reasoning for drawing on everything is unclear.

The others - Many of the apartments in the building are occupied, although the other residents do not always come outside. They appear on occasion, slipping out of apartments that seem abandoned. Some come out more frequently than others.

Violet Nights

When the meeting was over, Vii was the first one out of the hall. He needed air: too many strong personalities in one room got hard to stomach after a while.

He had a note in his hand, simple golden seal, written in swirling calligraphy, “We need to meet.” Vii had been expecting something like this to happen, but he wasn’t sure he was comfortable with it being this soon.

He allowed his feet to carry him across the wide balcony, the palace having an arching view over the shattered landscape. Something in the distance roared, and elsewhere black flames erupted into the sky.

“Slavinya,” A voice called behind him. “Good, you are here.”

“My lord,” Vii greeted, keeping his eyes straight. “Of course I am here. I received your message.”

“Yes, well.” The voice stopped next to him, but he knew better than to turn and look at the being who stood to his left. “They are not all as loyal as you are.”

“Dissent amongst the ranks, my lord?”

“They have been dealt with.” Vii got the impression of a shrug. “But we are here to talk about you. I hear the review went well. Your team is proceeding as planned?”

“They certainly are highly skilled,” Vii hedged. “They game continues as it should.”

“And none of them suspect?”

“No. my lord.”

“Good, good. Let us make sure it stays that way.”

“Of course, my lord.”

“Tell me about them. The others you keep now. I don’t believe I was ever told about them in great detail.”

“Have you not, my lord?” Vii asked in slight surprise. “I thought you would want a say in the final decision.”

“I would have, but I did not want to risk a bias.” The being shrugged. “Besides, you are the one who chose them, are you not? I know I can trust your judgment on this. So tell me of them.”

“What is there to say?” Vii shrugged. “They are all very skilled aspects of their sin, and they do not always get along well but they’re managing. So far.”

“They are all like you?”

“Only three, counting me. Three are human born, and one is raised.”

“Oh? You chose a raised sin?”

“There was another in his place.” Vii couldn’t keep the note of unease out of his voice. “What happened to them is unclear, and how he was next in line is equally unclear. The council has been-“

“Extraordinarily unhelpful,” the being finished. “As they always are. You do not trust him.” It wasn’t a question.

“He has been kin-bound to us, and he has taken an oath of loyalty,” Vii hedged.

“Does he fit the criteria?”

“I believe so, yes. He has not been very forthcoming with information about his personal affairs, but I believe he just prefers us not to know.”

“Yes, very good. Remember though, forged loyalty never lasts. You must either earn it without this spell or you will lose him.”

“Understood, my lord.”

“And his name?”

“Psirija, my lord.”

“Ah, a being of Envy. What of the other two? Who are like you?”

“There is Thajre, though she does not cause many problems.”

“No cause for concern?”

“So long as we do not keep her awake, she is sensible.”

“A sensible being of Sloth, how quaint the thought,” the being snorted. “The last?”

“His name is Fyrd, and we’ve had some problems with him, but they always work themselves out. It’s taking him a while to adjust to being on a team instead of only having to worry about himself, though I have no doubt he’ll figure it out in time.”

“A Greed. He has been on his own before?”

“Yes, my lord.”

“That would explain his behavior. If he becomes too much of a nuisance, let me know.”

“I will, my lord.” Vii nodded.

“The rest are then human born?”

“Yes. There is Malroz, my second in command. She has been very helpful, especially with keeping the others in line. Her sibling in humanity has joined the other team, and I believe that is the only reason she had interest in joining.”

“Helpful Wrath’s? I assume her typing has something to do with that. You really did choose well on this, Slavinya.”

“Your praise is high merit, my lord.”

“Indeed. Continue.”

“There is Glattyhs, and her condition causes us more trouble than she herself does. She is good company most times, but as her madness descends she becomes more unstable. The other is Lushyo, and he is the most excitable, though he is also the most likely to cause trouble, both with the humans and the other players. Nothing major, and it at least keeps things interesting.”

“The Glutton and the Lust to round it out,” his companion murmured. “And no problems with any of them that would require replacement?”

“No, my lord.”

“Good.” Vii broke the short pause.

“Have you seen her, my lord?” he asked. “Is she well?”

“We have heard nothing of her since her disappearance,” his companion replied. “What of you? Have you given up looking for her?”

“I have not seen her, nor have I heard anything of her, though I have looked.” Vii shifted uncomfortably. He gazed into the distance sadly. “One of mine, Ylenia, hunts dreams. She has searched for me, but cannot find her among the humans.”

“It is not likely she would hide in plain sight,” the other agreed. “Peace, friend, have strength. The reward for your deeds will come in time, and you shall see her again.”

“As you wish, my lord.”

“Tell me.” The being rolled his shoulders and air brushed against Vii’s arm, a searing pain shooting up at the contact. “Things are moving forward for us at an acceptable rate?”

“So far we are progressing well,” Vii agreed slowly. “It will take more time, I think, before we can push into Phase Three.”

“Oh?” Vii didn’t like the note of disapproval in the other’s voice.

“Phase Two is going well, but we hit more, ah, bumps, than expected.” Vii sighed. “They all have a bit more attitude than I realized. There is some strain between several members, but I have no doubt it will work itself out.”

“That is understandable. With power like theirs.” The being nodded. “When can we expect Phase Three to take effect?”

“That is still unclear, although I will let you know as soon as I am positive they can handle the next phase,” Vii assured the being.

“I would hope so. Your reward hinges on the success of this, do not forget.”

“Of course, my lord. I will see that it is done.”

“Good.” The being erupted into a column of light, and Vii had to shut his eyes against the bright flare. When his ears stopped ringing, he opened his eyes. The paper that had been in his hand had gone up in flames, leaving him with a nasty burn on his palm, though it was already healing. There were scorch marks on the stone floor, and Vii decided it would be in his best interest not to stay where he was.

He moved further down the balcony, through several gilded archways until he found another place whose view he could enjoy. Vii sighed, suppressing a groan as he leaned forward against the stone banister. He hated these meetings, when he was called back down into the depths of Hell to report in on how he was doing, along with every other leader who was loose on Earth with a hoard of underlings to watch after.

It had been nice to see some of them again. Lady Pride looked as magnificent as ever. He had been surprised to see the Lady Ego, whose group had been reported missing. It was good, he mused, that they yet survived. No harm done. With some of those she kept, it would forever be best that they all stayed in good condition. Kiev was one of the newer leaders, and Vi had yet to form a concrete opinion on him.

The sharp click of footsteps echoed behind him. Ah, how could he forget…

“Nero,” he greeted, turning his head ever so slightly as the blonde approached.

“I did not get a chance to speak with you inside,” the man said in lieu of greeting. “Congratulations on the promotion. It has been a long time since we last spoke.”

“Too long,” Vii surveyed his old friend. “I am glad to see you are well.”

“And I you.” Nero peered out into the darkness. “An interesting proposition, counting the scores between two teams.”

“The paperwork is a nightmare.”

“I can imagine,” Nero agreed. “Has something happened? You seem more tense since last I saw you.”

“I have been thinking on troubling things,” Vii relented. “The one who left and the loyalties of some of my group.”

“You doubt them already?”

“It was something you told me.” Vii smiled grimly. “About forged loyalty.”

“It never lasts,” Nero finished coldly. “Indeed. Be wary who you trust, old friend. The shadows grow bolder each day.”

Vii looked over in surprise. “You suspect one of yours as being a traitor?”

“Nothing is ever certain,” Nero replied darkly. “I will not say for fear of making a falsehood true. But I am wary as to some of their allegiances.”

“Keep faith.” Vii sighed. “You know you will always have support.”

“Perhaps for you it is that simple.” Nero’s voice was sharp.

“Perhaps.” Vii sighed. “Let us not argue the point tonight. I have a small favor to ask of you.”

“Favors are not always well forged, even with friends,” Nero warned, though his tone had softened considerably. “What is it you require of me?”

“We have been forced to use HazePlane as a means of travel, and you know how temperamental it can be. I fear one of mine may end up lost in your lands, and I would ask that you watch for them.” Vii pulled a coin out of his pocket and handed it to him. There was a seal stamped into each side. “Each of them carry one of these, which they will show you to identify themselves.”

“I will do my best.” Nero handed the coin back. They stood in silence for a while, each staring off into the roiling darkness beyond the palace.

“Have you heard word of her?” Nero asked finally. “The one that you seek?”

“No, she eludes us still. But I do not yet wish to give up her.”

“And what will you do if you find her?” There was pain in Nero’s voice. “Slavi, you know you cannot keep her.”

“I know. I do not wish to keep her, only to know she is well.”

“You do not wish to see her?”

“Of course I do, that is all I want, but I do not know if that can happen. To know she is well will content me enough, I believe. She must pass through our awareness eventually.”

“If they let her,” Nero granted reluctantly.

“You believe they would deny her?”

“You know better than I do what crime she has committed.”

“That they consider it a crime is crime in itself,” Vii snarled.

“I know that well,” Nero agreed.

“I assume you have heard naught of her as well?”

“If I had, you would be the first I told.”

Vii sighed. “That is what I thought.”

“What is it you told me?” Nero smirked. “These things take time?”

Vii chucked, albeit unwillingly. “Of course. But patience is not my strong suit.”

“Nor is it mine.” Nero strode back towards his friend. “I have missed our conversations, no matter how much they feel like a chess match.”

“They certainly require one to be fully present,” Vii groaned. “These meeting would be much more tolerable if they happened less frequently.”

“I cannot fathom the reason they need all of us here at once.” Nero grimaced. “It always turns into a fight. Between those two especially.”

“In good spirit, of course.”

“How well do you know the new one, Kiev?” Nero asked. “I have seen him only a few times, and know little about him.”

“I know barely more than you,” Vii told him. “The story of his transformation makes me wonder, yet he is worthy enough to have his own get, so I assume he has power.”

“Who is under him? I know them not.”

“They are all of my kind, not yours. I know their names but not their faces, though one of mine has been in contact with them before.”

“Oh?”

“His name is Lars, all I know of him is that he is their sin of wrath. He, along with my wrath, worked together to bring down a Ouija demon.”

“Hm?” Nero turned to him in shock. “Two wraths brought down a Ouija demon?”

“Mine shared the memory of the battle. It had attempted to consume a virtue, which weakened it. They would not have survived the battle had it not been less than half its normal strength.”

“Your wrath is your second, are they not?” Vii nodded. “Strange that they would risk themselves like that, having such a high position.”

“She was human once, and she remembers her past more clearly than the others.” Vii sighed wearily. “Her memories cloud her mind often, and weaken her judgment, but I am not at odds with her decision to battle it. The demon needed to be brought down. The humans can only be left blind for so long.”

“No one noticed it?”

“They found awareness after it was gone, and found only the damage left behind.”

“So all is well, at least. How odd that a virtue found themselves in such a state.” Nero shook his head. “I can guess which breed it was.” Vii hummed, and they lapsed back into silence. Voices echoed behind them, the semi-playful banter of the others who had attended the meeting.

“You seem strained,” Vi admitted finally.

“We had several minor problems to deal with.”

“I noticed.” Vii surveyed his old friend, the weariness apparent under the tense way he held his shoulders. “There was talk of the problems you had.”

Nero snorted softly. “Problems. We had everything under control.”

“Of course,” Vii agreed with deference. “Which is why the rogue human spirit was the one who handled everything.”

Nero turned to him with a cold gaze. “I know what it is you’re trying to do, and it isn’t going to work.”

“Of course.”

“It should not have happened,” Nero shook his head slowly. “It never should have happened.”

“What exactly was it?” Vii questioned. “We heard that Jack ended up with the suppressor again, meaning Andrew lost it.”

“Trouble that should not have been. But as it were, I must go before the Guide comes looking. If you have time, I would enjoy having you over again for tea. It has been long since your last visit.”

“Of course.” Vii nodded his head in farewell. “Until next we meet, old friend.”

“Until then.”
