Ocelot's lips curled into a smile as the payment of their little endevour was explained. "Sounds fine to me." He said causally, leaning back in his chair. "I mean, we don't actually have to follow their beliefs or anything. And it pays well." He said, happy about that last bit. He wasn't in any need of money or anything, he had quite a bit of it actually. But, who would ever complain to more? He didn't really care is they were going to the Collective, it was just another job for him. He would go anywhere the Lapis wanted him to. "And about the whole bonding thing, doesn't Vintaph usually choose his followers to attain spirits anyway?" He asked, thinking that it wasn't all that big of a catch.

"What if we don't want the spirit, can we kill them off?" Apple asked. This was purely a question. If she did bond, she'd have someone else to help her in her work, she wasn't about to kill someone off if they had a use. More money would be nice of course. Apple never said no to money. Of course, if you didn't offer her the right amount of money, you'd be in trouble. She shrugged, and rearranged one of her rings. "Sounds almost perfect to me. Are you sure there isn't another catch? I'm going no matter what, I just wish to know if there's anything.... special I need to pack or otherwise acquire. Unless, of course, you wish to tell us this later and individually." She fixed the ring, and smiled at Lapis happily. "I don't want to question you."

"Sorry I'm late. I had a problem to take care of," came the sudden words from the door. Doom came dashing in, metal leg clinking and dripping oil. "What have we been talking 'bout so far? Hope it was important for me to hop on one leg during my descend...." She murmured the last part, not wanting to anger the Lapis. She had been having a very bad day. First, she got in a fight with some neighborhood boys, and during that her leg fell off and she got laughed at, which she hated. She had to give them both black eyes and a few missing teeth to make them stop. Then, she had to hop on one foot up to her room to fix it, and then, in the middle of putting it back on, she found out they were having a meeting, she had to oil her leg as she rushed to the room. So, here she was, scowling in a room full of her fellow gang members, with a loose fitting leg she couldn't fix now. This was definitely not her day.

Apple put a hand over her mouth. Doom may be young, but that was no excuse. She was almost certainy going to die. The Lapis didn't like it when people were late. You were never late. If you were, you weren't alive. Therefore you weren't. You never existed. 'What? Whom is this... (Insert name here) of which you speak? I have no data on them... Just this pile of money which is mine. All mine. No no, it was always mine. Never anyone else's, MINE. Ah yes, your husband/wife? You were married?' Apple didn't move apart from watching Doom. Poor thing... even if she didn't die, she was still late, and The Lapis wasn't about to repeat herself.

Doom sat down on the ground, absentmindedly, or so it seemed, doing stuff with the metal hooks on her leg. She looked down. Funny, her name was Doom, and here on out, she was probably doomed. She could only hope she wasn't in too much trouble. She'd seen some reactions of her fellow gang members, who knew as she did that she was in trouble.

"You may do whatever you like with your Spirit, if you do Bond. Although I don't think we'll be chosen over those who do follow Vintaph....if you happen upon getting a Spirit, please don't kill them off. I've heard it does drive many insane, and I don't need half of my members killing themselves." And then that one girl, Dusilbena, came in late. Tanevi immediately gave her an icy smile. "It was important, and I'm not going to repeat it." Metal conducted electricity amazingly well, right? Quickly sparks, large enough to give a very healthy zap and agony, but not enough to kill went through each of the faux limbs.

Doom's eyes widened with the shock. She held in a cry of pain, and nodded to the Lapis,"I'm....extremely sorry, Lapis." Her hair stood on end for a second, until she patted it down. She was twitchy from then on from the shock, as it greatly affected her, and ran up to the plate in her skull. This was definitely not her day.

"Right. And don't be late again." It was said with the air of a request, but was definitely a command. Tanevi called back any remnants of her magic from the girl.

"Yes, Lapis," Doom replied quietly, shocks stopping. She was still twitchy, and could barely sit still because the shocks were making her arms and leg hard to control.
