✘ . VIGDIS REYES
Department of Fieldwork
New Recruit
The sound of heavy bolts being pulled away by machinery echoed through the floor. Even if it hadn't been one of several set aside for the detainment of whoever and whatever INVICTUS deemed necessary to, it was a sound that rang ominous nonetheless. For the agents responsible for overseeing those held there, perhaps not as much. Both armed with partially unassuming, yet still very potent neutralization gear, they kept their eyes trained on the inside of the cell as the door slid open. Bright overhead lights kicked on in earnest, illuminating the room and the occupant beyond. There would normally have been an attempt to ask the occupant to move to the back of the cell previous to all this. Unfortunately, that protocol had been discarded a day or so ago.
She was very insistent on greeting guests personally.
Standing about a foot away, moss green eyes hyper focused upon the guards at the door, was a woman. She was quite tall, coming to stare evenly at both me. The wide toothy grin was accompanied by a slight tilt of her head; a gesture, while quizzical by any other standard, just added to the unnerving presence of the woman. It was that chill of bring studied by a predator.
"Hello, Clarence~" The tone was sickly sweet, breathy like a purr. The sensation was enough to make one of the guards wince. This didn't go unnoticed, and just as suddenly as she had been standing there, the woman burst into a ball of laughter. "Hellig skit! Holy shit, I didn't even think that would be the thing to get you! A whole week and it's an ancient reference that does it!"
The guard frowned and huffed, the other shaking his head and taking a step back. "The paperwork finally went through. The higher ups have decided to keep you at this location until further notice." The guard took a slow, deep breath, then straightened up just that slight bit more. "Agent Vigdis Reyes, you are hereby given freedom to roam about the facility as your clearance allows." The last few words of the sentence came out stiffly. It was obvious that the guy wasn't excessively thrilled about this decision.
In the short time she had been there she had come close to notably injuring several personnel, including the event that lead to her recapture. And here she had come in with the intent to help. How was she to have known the flesh of that creature had been particularly potent for Garr to devour? It just looked like some weirdly shaped goblin. Ah well. At the very least she had left a rather sharp impression upon the lucky few on that mission. The very thought of that day, the last day that she had been free as of recent, made her chuckle. That had been a good day.
It didn't take long for Vigdis to gather up her things and wander on off. Even prior to being pulled in, Vigdis was use to traveling extremely light, and with her having suddenly and rather unorthodoxly shifted locations, she had even less to her name. The rest of it was probably shoved in the back corner of a room somewhere in the NYC facility. It also wasn't like she wasn't going to be coming back to the cell later. She was still a month out from getting all the big kid furnishings, and even then, they might just leave her in there. That part was evident by the armed escourt she was receiving to...
Vigdis paused, taking her eyes from the surroundings and looking to one of the guards. "Hey, where are we going again?"
The guard just grunted, stepping off to one side of a pair of large doors and pulling it open. "Go figure it out for yourself."
The first thing that hit her was the scent of food - meat to be specific. There were other, more delicate scents mixed in with it, like the freshness of vegetables and the sweetness of fruits, but what her instincts honed in on was that heartiness. Nigh instantly she could feel the saliva building up in her mouth. Beyond that was the sound of voices, and picking it apart further, there being easily dozens and dozens. The room beyond was aplenty with people, in there with the food. And finally, that tickling burn of alcohol. This bouquet of sensations stewed themselves together in her mind, and in the end the answer that was produced caused her smug smile to widen once more.
"A party!"
Vigdis gave the two guards a tip of her fingers to her forehead before striding in. Just stepping into the buzzing energy of the room made her skin ripple with excitement and anticipation. During her short stint on the outside, which ultimately ended up with her practically across the country from her original branch, she wouldn't deny that she had indulged herself somewhat. She had kept on the tail of that damn Shroud Hare the entire time, but seeing as she had somewhat jumped off the radar, why not have a little bit of fun while trying to finish the job? It had been enough to whet her pallet once more, and just as she had during her time wandering as a hunter, she craved that electric interaction with others. To that end she dove right in, wading and weaving through the bodies, eyes jumping from place to place to take it all in and search for where she wanted to start. So many new faces, food and alcohol!
"Ahhhahaha! Fuck yeah! It's been way too long!"
