Another random quest, (GAY) (O/O) CLOSED

"Yeah." Oci nodded and made his way back into the living room. "Yeah, we'll do it. Not like we got a choice, but we'll do it."
"Awesome. When you have the knife, just bring it back here. I'll find you." Rhees stood up and waved at them. "Good luck, boys." There was a flash of light, and Rhees was gone.
"Well, I guess it's strategy time." Oci sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"You think he wouldn't notice?" Oci asked, looking over at Marco. "There are rumors that he's actually a Moriart, not just in name. And who knows what reapers can do? I… I just don't want to risk it. They say crossing one of them is a death sentence." He looked down at his toes, slightly embarrassed.

"It was a good idea. With any other person, it would have worked. It just had to be him." Oci shook his head slightly and started towards his office. "Alright, then. I should have some records of Adrian in here, maybe a map or two. Is there anything you'd like to know right away?"

"Hmm… Yes on the traps– all the doors leading in and out of the house, and one in the door to his office. That's probably where he'll keep the knife, too. If not there, then the knife will be in the basement, in his rare weapons collection. He doesn't like animals very much, so no pets, and as far as I know, no allergies." Oci took a deep breath. "I don't think he knows much about shifters. Oh, and one more thing– watch out for James. She's his right-hand woman. She has a natural-born magic control over metal. If you stay away from her, you should be fine."

"I… don't really know. I try to keep away from her. She's kinda… how do I say this, crazy." Oci shrugged, his eyebrows creased in concentration. "I don't think so. There's not a lot of shifters in their part of the neighborhood, though. That might mean that people don't know how to recognize them, but the people that do will definitely notice. As long as you stay out of sight, you'll probably be fine."

"Ah…" Oci opened the door to the office and flicked on the light. "I think I have a rough sketch of one from a while back. It might be a second before I can find it, though." He crossed over to the desk and started sifting through the papers piled on top of it. The desk was the only place in the room that was even slightly messy, however. The rest of the room was clean and orderly, so much so, in fact, that it hardly looked used.

"Aha!" Oci triumphantly held up a few pages, then handed them to Marco. They were hand-drawn, but quite neat and easy to read. "So, that's the front door, there are the side doors, that's the staircase that leads upstairs where his office is. The next two pages should be second and basement level." Oci explained, pointing at the places he was describing.

(boop)

(Okay, you're good!)
"Uh… These, I think." Oci pointed to a few entrances. "This place is pretty old, though, so there are lots of holes and small cracks in the walls and stuff. Kinda like this place, except less well-cared for." He smirked.

(I mean… yeah, but your life, in real life, is more important than this. If you ever need to take a break again, just tell me. :)
"Yeah, but if you do, be careful." Oci looked at Marco, concern clear in his eyes. "This will be hard, but even harder if they know you're coming. But… You can do it. You're amazing." He let out a breath, the last sentences more to comfort himself than to encourage Marco. "Well, most of the walls are stone– crumbling stone, mind you– but they did add on a sort of shed area to the back of the house, and it's made of wood. It's also newer than all the other structures, but knowing them, it's poorly built."

"You'd better be careful," Oci said, his voice surprisingly fierce. "Otherwise, I'll have to kill you." A breathy laugh escaped from his lips, and Oci looked down at the ground. "Sorry… uh, I don't really know. I guess it would depend on how strong the stuff between the stones is." He looked back up at Marco, his cheeks a soft pink color.

"Yeah…" Oci nodded, his brow creased. "If you want, I think there's enough time to go do a quick check now, if you want? It would have to be quick, and I'd have to have a disguise on or something, but we could do it."

"Alright, then, we're going. Do whatever you need to do right now, and I'm going to make myself look less like Ocean Kage." Oci smiled at Marco, then turned and walked towards his bedroom. He had a few magical items that could change how he looked, luckily, or he wouldn't be able to go with Marco. And he wanted to go with Marco. He wanted to keep Marco with him for as long as possible.

Oci walked out of the bedroom, his skin tingling slightly from the magic. He'd changed the color of his eyes to a simple blue, and covered up the sea foam color in his hair. His freckles had also disappeared, and he'd changed his coat to one with a hood. As Oci walked to the door, he pulled the hood up, plunging the upper part of his face into shadow. "Ready?"

(Okay!)

"Okay, then. I hope he waits up for me." Oci muttered, quickly closing and locking the door and hurrying after Marco. "Come on, do you even know where you're going?" His voice was playful as he turned into an alley. "Ah, well, I'll get there when I get there." Oci glanced over his shoulder, keeping an eye out for any guards that might try and catch him or Marco.
