				Veronica Valentine, the name she currently had adopted, drove up in her slick, chrome black Hummer, a H3 Alpha series to be more exact. As she leaned forward, gazing up at the neon lights of the Motel, she couldn't help but wince at the sight. <em>This</em> was where she was supposed to stay for the moment? It was certainly useful to keep a low profile since you could jot any name you wanted down on their register and pay with cash, yet the sorts of people that it attracted didn't suit her tastes at all, not to mention the fact that she was used to a higher state of living now and in the past. A faint sigh escaped her lips as she drove up into one of the unoccupied spots and turned the key to the left, cutting the ignition to her car. Such vehicles had always been criticized by people as high polluters, yet she found them to be not only very sturdy and reliable, but also capable of carrying large loads, something that suited her lifestyle. With a brief glance in the mirror at her features she opened the door and stepped out, closing and locking it before making her way to the front of the sleazy looking hotel.<br><br>The woman that stepped in from the front door was gorgeous, to say the least. Her features were perfectly smooth, blonde hair hanging in rivulets down from her scalp, reaching just bellow her shoulders. Two startlingly gold eyes gazed from behind long, dark lashes, and she sported an ample chest tightly confined within a sleeveless, thick white shirt. She wore a pair of green, camouflage slacks, as well as sturdy brown boots. Despite her attractive features, her eyes held something dangerous, not the cold-calculating look some women possessed, but a passionate fire that spoke of violence more than anything else. As Veronica slowly made her way to the front desk, she glanced around briefly before reaching out to tap the bell, waiting for the attendant to either wake up or dart in from where ever he, or she, was hiding. "Only for a little while," she promised herself as she waited.

				The man that slowly came around the corner from the back-room was reading a magazine and didn't really notice what kind of woman that had chosen to take up residence in the hotel until he stood there right before her and lifted his eyes from his reading. He took a step back her beauty taking him so much that it almost looked as if he had been given a physical blow.<br><br>"Wh-wh-wh..." He started, his mouth not coorporating with his brain at all. "What can I do for you?" He managed to get out before he had made an even worse fool of himself than he already had.<br><br>Inside of the hotel actually was worse than outside - dirty, unkept, worn down and Veronica wouldn't be surprised if their were roaches on the rooms. If she hadn't been told to use this front she would have refused to stay there but as the situation was such refusal was at the moment impossible.

				Veronica watched patiently as the man walked in reading that book, a fine brow arching at the rather easy manner of the manager which caused her to wonder how successful the motel really was. Yet when he suddenly staggered back at the sight of her she smirked ever so slightly, amused by the initial stuttering he exuded. While she was still uneasy about staying at the place, she warmed up ever so little at the nervousness the man showed. Even though he could still be scum of the earth, she preferred the less sure versions of them, wanton stared of lust and lewd behavior being the first thing to annoy her. Fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately), Veronica had gained a mastery of her powers, at least the fire based ones, so sudden spurts of flame when she was angry didn't happen any longer.<br><br>"I need a large room, preferably the cleanest your have," she stated rather simply as she peered at him, her eyes taking in the book he was reading as well as his choice of clothing; the littlest details could tell you a lot about a person. As she waited for a response and most likely a ledger to sign her name in, she straightened slightly, a hand raising to rest on her hip as she removed her gaze from him to glance around the place. While she seemed at easy, her left hand was near where the hilt of her blade was, strapped within her pants with the cool, leather top resting against her bare side, covered by the thick shirt she wore.

				She could remember seeing places like ease long time ago, no longer could she remember their names as she had moved past such things. This with... filth and why would she even be using filth unless she had too?<br><br>"Y-yes... of course." He placed the ledger in front of her asking her to sign in and for as many days. He then rounded the counter to help her with her bags. "This way miss." He said very... service minded. The way she looked clearly hadn't anything to do with it... right? And the sky was blue. He showed her to the stairs and they started to climb mumbling something about that the elevator wasn't really safe. On the third floor they stepped out and he took her to her room, unlocked it and... well if this was their cleanest room she wouldn't want to see their filthiest.

				Veronica hesitated only a moment before reaching out and grasping the pen attached to the ledger, eyes skimming over the page briefly. She eventually writes her name elegantly into the entry, using "Victoria Maxwell" as her signature. As she finished she placed the pen back in its holder before looking up at the man. "I'm not entirely sure how many days I'll be staying here, that won't be a problem though, right?" Her gold eyes peered into his own for a moment before she straightened and began following him, having no bags at the moment, most of her gear packed in her car, which she'd naturally be handling herself. As they climbed the series of stairs, she briefly glanced from one area to the other, interested in the layout of the Motel. It was rather large and had obviously seen better days.<br><br>When they finally made it to her room she felt a deep sense of satisfaction, the filth of the entire place getting on her nerves. It wasn't that she hadn't lived in hard conditions, she just had a high expectation of room she stayed in when not out in the field. As the door opened to reveal her new living abode, she barely managed to repress a wince. "Thank you," she finally managed to murmur before stepping into it, her eyes darting about thoughtfully before she turned towards the still nameless man, extending her hand in an obvious gesture for the key. "I'll get my things from the car in a moment. There's not much, so you don't need to worry about helping me."

				He almost looked a bit disappointed not to be allowed to help the beautiful Veronica but as he saw that he really had no chance in hell of sway her determination he bowed for her slightly. "If there are anything you need or want... you know where I am." And then he left leaving her to tend for herself.<br><br>Getting up her things from the car was easy enough and soon - after some minor fixings the room was almost inhabitable according to her standards.

				Veronica offered a simple nod to the man before watching him slowly depart back down the series of stairs. She briefly winced however, remembering it was a rather long climb to do with all her equipment. However, before leaving for her car, she carefully scrutinized every room and area within the place until she was utterly satisfied there weren't any camera's hidden within shower-heads or corners. (5, 4, 8, 2, 8) Finally nods slightly to herself before leaving her room, carefully locking it before heading downstairs and to her car, gathering the things she needed. Of note was the rather large violin case strapped across her back, as well the satchel, both carrying "gear" relevant to her hunting.<br><br>Some time passed before she managed to haul everything she needed into her room, as well as the time spent fixing up the place with the few tools she did have available. She was <em>almost</em> tempted to go off and buy cleaning supplies, yet she firmly resisted that idea, simply releasing a soft sigh of annoyance. "Well, I'm sure they'll give me a call with the job details, or if I'm lucky, they'll simply have me join an assault team so I don't have to bother with stupid investigative work," she muttered softly to herself. She was a soldier, not some criminal investigator; she absolutely hated the time wasted on finding and locating her prey. Idly she patted one of her pockets before sitting down on the bed, the pocket holding two of her cellphones, one rarely used for her own life, the other only used for receiving calls from her organization.

				Looking through her room she didn't find a thing that looked... wrong. The place was what it looked to be - a rundown, unkept motel room, for better and for worse. In a way it gave her a good way to hide herself from those that might be looking and that was always a comfort in itself.<br><br>Getting her things up was done without a problem, due to the time of day she didn't see anyone that could identify her or that could ask the wrong questions. She got in and out and could start to prepare herself to stay here for a while and now as her weapons where in place she could actually start to feel more... safe and at home.

				A faint sigh escaped her once more as she allowed herself to relax, pleased she hadn't located anything suspicious in the place. While the room was still dirty, and the sheets on the bed more than a little questionable, it did feel comfortable enough. As she sat on that bed, she allowed her eyes to actually look at the room for the first time, taking note of the place and the various facilities, including whether or not it had a TV. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before the familiar sense of boredom set in, her mind drifting as she thought what she could do. In the end she simply shook her head, the unfamiliarity of the city leaving too few options to explore at such a late night.<br><br>Slowly she stood up from her position, idly wriggling her feet out of her boots before making her way into the bathroom, checking the place out thoughtfully. Her lips pursed as she saw the shower, yet in the end she simply shrugged and grabbed a hold of the bottom of her shirt, pulling it up and over her head as she shook her blonde locks free of her face. She then carefully slid her pants down to let them pool about her ankles before she stepped out of them, tugging her socks off next. Standing now only in a simple pair of black lingerie, she peered at her form in the mirror, gazing at her elegant and soft features thoughtfully. She was... even more attractive than when she'd been young, if that were even possible. "Blood does a body good, I suppose," she muttered softly to herself, watching her reflection for a few more moments. She didn't feel guilty, however, her blood usually coming from the illegal "borrowing" of blood packs from the Red Cross; she justified it by regularly donating after all.<br><br>She didn't waste much time after, quickly unstrapping the small holster around her calf, placing the gun in the sink along with her knife. She finally unhooked her her bra, letting her ample orbs ease free of the constraint before she slid her panties off and finally stepped into the shower. One hand reached up to tug the curtain closed while the other turned the nob for the water. As the somewhat warm liquid poured out of it, she released a faint sigh of satisfaction as she stepped into it, letting the water flow over her form as she truly relaxed for a few moments.

				Much could be wished about the room, how it was or how it looked but the moment she felt the warm water splash down over her she knew she had found something this hotel did right. The water was excellent, just the right temperature and it felt just wonderful against her skin. If anything almost too wonderful actually, it took her a while until she realized that her hand had slipped down between her legs and she stood there masturbating before she realized what she was doing. It didn't feel wrong in anyway... she had much tension inside her and it wouldn't be the first time her inner knots tried to get out by sexual relief.<br><br>As she was done in the shower and she stepped out from there again she heard her cell starting to ring out in the bedroom... just following Murphy's Law it seemed.

				Veronica released another faint sigh as she tilted her head back, letting her long locks slide behind her head, damp with the running water that was running over her nude form. A faint shiver of pleasure ran up her spine, ecstatic sensations coursing through her body as she lightly arched her back, her ample orbs pressing outwards, nipples stiffening ever so slightly. She was truly caught up by the sensations and simple desire to relax that she wasn't even aware of her own hand darting between her toned, smooth thighs, fingers pressing against her soft and watered petals to tease and brush against them gently. The sensual, feminine moans escaping her parted lips didn't even register as she began to press even more firmly against those tight nether lips, rubbing with increasing vigor before she suddenly came to, shocked by what she was doing. It <em>definitely</em> didn't feel wrong, yet the ease of how she had lost herself was mildly frightening. For a moment she paused, breathing rather quickly as her legs trembled, wondering whether or not her ritual was the cause of the problem... or simply the fact that she was so very old and without a family of her own; or, at least, a partner.<br><br>With tremendous willpower she quickly stopped, focusing herself on the task of cleaning herself up before finally turning the water off and stepping free of the curtains. When the phone suddenly rang she jumped, only to blush the next moment. "Honestly, I'm so out of it," she muttered in annoyance as she grabbed a long towel nearby, wrapping it about herself before grabbing her gun and knife, carrying them into the bedroom. She casually tossed them onto the bed before riffling through her stuff, finally locating the cell that was ringing before popping it open and answering. "Yes?" she asked rather bluntly.

				"Why recruit Valentine how is that to answer your commanding officer?" That deep voice answered on the other end which she knew from everywhere - General Gerald Hearn, the one that had been her commander during her training for the Valkyrie. He was a stern man, in his late 40s and actually believed in everything the Force set out to do. To him nothing was propaganda - it was reality and something to strive for.

				Veronica blinked once in reaction to those words, momentarily surprised to hear that voice since she hadn't been paying attention to which of her phones she was answering. She resisted releasing sigh, simply rolling her eyes instead as she sat down on the bed, holding that towel closer to her still quite wet body, droplets of water falling onto her lap thanks to her drenched hair. Her mind briefly drifted, recalling the intense training he'd put her through, though literally lifetimes of battle experience had made it considerably easier. <br><br>"Why, General, I never expected you to be calling," she murmured a tad too casually into the phone. She slid one of her longs onto the other, leaning back a little as her lips pursed ever so slightly. "Do you have an assignment for me sir?"

				General Hearn snorted, something he often did when she turned the table on him like that. He had always had a soft spot for Veronica, never in a sexual way but in a kind of father and daughter thing... which in itself was quite funny really considering Veronica's own age.<br><br>"Well, some people move a bit too quickly for us normal people have a chance to keep up." He answered before continuing. "I assume you have made yourself comfortable so far - you got a killer to catch and if possible kill a possessed one if you connect to the main server on your laptop you will find those files we have on him in your working folder." The wonders of modern age...

				A faint smile formed upon her lips at the response she'd gotten, slightly amused by it. There was just something about men that grunted a lot that attracted her, though in this case it wasn't a sexual one. When he commented on her living arrangements, she quite nearly returned the same response, yet she contented herself with simply remaining silent and shrugging ever so slightly, as if he could actually see her. "Killer, possessed, got it. I do hope I won't have to recite a series of words from the Bible in Latin though; I just might end up laughing mid way."<br><br>While she spoke she stood up, discarding the towel casually before kneeling down next to one of her bags, quickly opening it while keeping the phone pinned between ear and shoulder. "I'm turning on my laptop now, sir. Will I have any backup on this mission, or will I be working alone?" As she finished, she finally managed to retrieve her computer which she propped open and placed on the bed. She was mildly irritated about having no clothing on, yet she didn't expect the call to last too long. Thankfully, after waiting for the computer to load and connect to the server wirelessly, she quickly logged in and began looking around for the files the General had spoken about.

				"I'm trying to get Sergeant John Tracer to come as backup as it is a possessed one you are after I haven't met one among those that are an easy shake down. But I can't tell you fully yet, I still need to pull a few strings. I couldn't find out but have you worked with him in the past?" The general said as the wireless connected and Veronica's password was sent. Almost immediately she was accepted and the Force Valkyrie logo appeared on her screen. A few taps and selections later she started the download of the data of her target.<br><br>"Have you worked against a possessed in the past?" He asked while they waited.<br><br><strong>ooc: John Tracer is another immortal hunter character Paladin is making. If you two know each other or not is up to you.</strong>

				Veronica pursed her lips at the name, immediately recognizing it for who it belonged to. Her mind briefly drifted to the multitudes of times the pair had thought together since WWII, yet she shook them away quickly, focusing on the General. "A possessed one? I don't believe so, no," came her final response. In all honesty, she might have, yet she had no idea what most of the creatures were dubbed. As the files began opening she gazed over them, tapping on the small touch pad while still listening in on what her commander had to say. "As for working with Tracer... I believe I've met him at some point. I'm sure we'll be fine. Anyway, please hold a moment."<br><br>She carefully placed her phone facedown on the bed then, finally fed up with being utterly nude while on a conversation. She slips the laptop onto the bed as well before hurriedly moving back into her bathroom, grabbing the discarded clothing and slipping them on as quickly as she could managed, all the while muttering under her breath. Finally she comes back into the bedroom before sitting down upon it, once more grabbing that pesky phone and computer. "So what am I looking at? Something resistant to ballistics? Silver? Will crosses or stakes have any effect? And will I be getting any specialized equipment for the mission, or should I use my own?"<br>

				"Good to hear... but as I said, nothing is decided as of yet but I will do what I can." The general paused during the time she let him wait and as she returned he just gave her an acknowledge that he still was there before he continued.<br><br>"A possessed one is just that, a normal human possessed by either a ghost, spirit or a demon. Actually it is very hard to see the difference without any extended testing and from what we had available... the only thing that we can do is to terminate the body and in that was freeing the demon inside causing it to slip back from where it came." He paused a bit before continuing. "If it is a demon which we believe he is then the main weakness is, believe it or not holy items or places and those doesn't grow on trees... although a well aimed shot to the head or several usually take care of them just as good."
