<Nocturnal Harmonia>

[Bloodedge]

"Nahhh, you ain't seen shit yet," Donnie asserted. What could be seen, versus the developments that actually came in his life lately, could not truly be compared. Regarding Fashion Week and his impromptu involvement, he shrugged even though it could not be seen. "I knew what the deal was, but a nigga was just tryna pass through. I won't thinkin' about doin' shows and... all the other shit. And what the fuck else would I call her?" he asked rhetorically. Even as a relatively new member of the group now known as Lost Galaxy, Donnie had been around the others for several months. He supposed, however, he also hadn't been home very much in the past year. Maybe it would be a good idea to swing by after all. Besides, he'd only further upset the woman if he kept going forward without doing something about his hair. "If I don't, you just gon' keep buggin' me every time I step outside until I do. Lemme talk to the pilot real quick. I'ma have a group, so be on good behavior wit' that 'hello' when I get there!" he said, holding back one of the grander reveals for an in-person greeting. Donnie still hadn't gotten over being knighted. Whatever the case, he'd be ending the call if that woman required nothing else. With that, he made for the bedroom door and spoke to Nikki. "Gotta hit Crow up. That was my girl Kim in Philly. Gotta pull up, get this hair dealt with, finish stuntin' for real. You cool wit' it? 'Cause she probably gon' bug y'all too."

In the meantime, Hop was catching up with Prince Auric to try getting some answers for Iris's plan. "Sorry about my sister. She's uhh..." Hop started. Auric, already scoffing, decided to finish the sentence for him ─ all while carrying on with his own thoughts. "An insufferable smartarse? No respect for the sort of punishment she'd receive if we were at home, or if she didn't have relation to a National Hunter! Though I suppose... she does look to have a nice arse of her own back there. I could probably be convinced to forgive her overstepping," Auric rambled. Hop could hardly restrain his sighs. "Could you just stop? Jesus Christ, Your Highness... have a wank or something. Can I just ask you what your awakening felt like? We've been getting along, right?" Hop asked. Auric paused, turned and huffed, looking over the darker lad. "We've not been getting along; you've been tolerant. Does your entire family think I'm a moron? Is that it? I won't be sharing any information with the likes of you, if you'll do nothing with it but go right back to that sister of yours. I'll never abide someone who can't manage to ask for something like they have some sense. Otherwise, I suppose I've no problem with your approach. Luck to you all, I suppose... now leave me be." That was all the prince had to say as he moved on to settle a room of his own next door. Leon heard a bit of the fuss, and was already frantically trying to put out a joint and... like a genius, fan the smell away with his arm. Hop realized, sad as the reality was, that he'd have to find Leon as well. "Ugh! Lee!"

[Apollymi]

The relationship between Donnie and the woman on the phone was obviously one of comfort, as neither was pulling very many punches. In this case, she'd not seen anything yet he must have been speaking on his new fit. "Well come through wearing it and show me somethin' then!" came the words from the other side of the phone. As for what he was supposed to call the young woman known as Senjumaru Shutara, "Ion know, nigga! All I know is, you sounding real comfortable for a nigga that ain't got me my autographs yet," she asserted, whether she was actually upset or not wasn't the point. It'd been quite a while since they saw each other last, and she'd be pulling up everything until it was all clear. Including but not limited to his haircut which definitely needed more than seasonal attention. "Hell yeah Imma call you out every time. Can't be out here, one of the sexiest flexiest ass niggas and not looking after the basics," she pointed out as an odd way of mentioning that he needed to take care of himself even while he was out doing shows and fighting in Dungeons. It didn't really matter, apparently he was going to be around pretty soon and she was to be behaving herself on their 'hello' since he had a group with him. "Oh? So it's like a group group? Bet, I'll be… good~" she said thinking about it before agreeing properly. "See ya'~" she said hanging up the phone. She'd immediately go on to clean up the shop and figure out if she had snacks and the like for a group, lest they have more than a few issues. Soon after, Nikki was getting a rundown of the important information and an ask if she was cool with the stop. "Of course, I'm cool with it, mate. Can't hate another artist. And anyone who can do that with hair, and make it better in some way, can bug me about anything she fancies~" Nikki agreed without hesitation. She wasn't at all upset about a stop that could improve upon the work of art that was Donovan King.

In the meantime, Melty and Iris had gotten to the important part. Both girls were sitting close together on the bed so they could talk without interruption. Iris also explained to her the likely scenarios that would be playing out up front. Whether she was right or not mostly depended on a few factors, but the general outcome was the same. "Dande, Ronnie and Crow will probably give up information before your brother… that's fine. In general I expected it, and if need be you can tell him that any information he gives you directly won't be shared with me. I don't really need it for planning, but I did have to figure out a few things that I can only get from direct… confrontation," Iris pointed out, knowing that her words to Auric could be interpreted more generally as an attack against his character if he was potentially sensitive about it. "As for King Don, we can take him in stages, work through foreplay forms and use those to mark our own safety. That way we aren't robbing him of anything but we're also getting good experience," Iris mentioned. "In defense of my brother, he isn't as crass as he seems. I find him exhausting from time to time, but he has been my primary companion for the duration of my life, I can say that he is a person you can be fond of outside of those quirks of his people would find annoying," Melty said in defense of her brother and once again Iris was looking at her, as if studying something. She saw it, in the way Melty spoke, that she was earnestly fond of her brother, he got on her nerves but she still genuinely enjoyed him as a person. "Hm, I usually don't talk to people long enough to see something like that," she observed. Meanwhile if anyone actually made it up to the cockpit, they'd find Ronnie casually stretched across the dash, legs in a casually split nearing the end of yet another short round but her loins fully tightened around the cock pumping in and out of her.

[Bloodedge]

Just before the end of a call, Donnie was reminded of something very important. That woman had been periodically mentioning the desire for autographs since he joined Lost Galaxy, and he'd yet to produce. "... Oh shit," Donnie muttered to himself. He'd forgotten that promise many times by now. Next time he spoke to Shutara, he'd have to remember the request... and perhaps remember to thank the lass for something done earlier as well. Beyond that however, Donnie questioned Nikki's willingness to visit Philadelphia briefly. She seemed excited enough to meet another obsessive artist. Donnie didn't adjust his pace at all upon exiting the room, pants in place, but otherwise sans clothing. "Bet it up! I'ma holla at Crow, see how long it's gon' take," he vowed. Along the way, however, Donnie caught sight of a familiar open door again. Iris and Melty were sitting on a bed inside. Only upon seeing them did he remember the end of their most recent encounter... and the fact that he still hadn't raised that topic with Nikki, despite deciding to do so. "Yo, y'all still in here? Hol' on, I'ma holla at the pilot. We goin' to Philly first," he said in passing.

Meanwhile, Hop was entering the salon to see Leon looking like an absolute fool. He stood behind the large male, paused, and cleared his throat. "Lee... that's not going to stop the smell. Everyone knows," he said. As an immediate result of Hop's speech, Leon froze. "No clue what you're on about, Hop! You uh... where's Iris and the princess?" Leon asked. His only concern was not openly doing drugs around children, after all. Hop raised a hand. "No worries. Say, d'you remember what it felt like when you awakened? We've been wondering." That question sat in Leon's mind long enough for him to watch Donnie pass by. He took a moment to exchange nods with the musician before answering Hop. "Uhhh, yeah. Yeah, I do! I thought someone slipped me a Jeffrey or sumfin' that day! Started feelin' all tingly all through my body, then bang! Sat there till the relight, not a clue where my lighter's gone, but I'm wishin' I could do that anime thing! You know the one where a bloke puts fire on his finger to light a smoke?" By the middle of that explanation, Hop already had a hand raised to pinch the bridge of his nose. He knew where this was going. "The Raizen thing..." he clarified begrudgingly. "Yeah, that's him! Raizen! Most badass fella in that show, I tell ya'! But yeah, that! So I did that thing, y'know, where ya' try to make dreams a reality and whatnot! And guess what, bruv!" Hop sighed. "You did the thing?" he played along anyway. "I did the flippin' thing, didn't I?!"

At that time, Donnie was stepping into a very interesting visual in the cockpit. His line of sight was interrupted by the back of Crow, who was putting forth the best effort he could to slam into Ronnie against the dash... but he could see those legs and hear that sound; that was enough for him. "Ayy, don't mind me. Y'all makin' a flick in here too?"

[Apollymi]

Near the end of that call, Donnie uttered a very peculiar utterance. A swear that came with an urgency that implied that he'd forgotten something. "That doesn't sound good~" Nikki said almost lightly teasing. She then watched as the lad dressed himself to 'normal' amounts and headed to speak with Crow after confirming a trip to Philly for the group. Nikki watched and waited all the while that brief acknowledgement of Iris and Melty got him a look from the pair, "Just plotting your downfall, take your time~" these were the words of Iris who Melty looked at with a raised brow as Donnie kept on his way. "That's menacing," the blue haired girl pointed out. Soon after as Donnie headed up front to pass Leon, Hop and Auric, Nikki was standing in the door with the most casual stance. "So, did you figure it out yet? Or are you just planning to keep trying to sneak in moments?" Nikki asked of Iris. For her part in this Iris's eyes narrowed for a moment, but she couldn't help but have her brows furrow. What was Nikki's angle? Was this a surprise attack? Well, she still had a nuclear option, how it was used would be determined by this conversation.

"It's rare for you not to have an immediate comeback, and to have such a bad read on a situation," Nikki pointed out which made Melty shift. 'Wait, is she not actually an enemy. Did we misunderstand?' she wondered but she wouldn't say anything aloud and ruin Iris's plans, a notion that Iris was quite thankful for in the moment. "I have some things to try and I am going to see how it works. If my thoughts are correct it should be manageable with a bit of time," Iris said carefully seeing what Nikki's face would do, but the older young woman just looked utterly relaxed like she knew something Iris didn't and was fine with it. "Don't take any life endangering risks and don't interrupt me. If you've got a working plan by Japan let me know. We're making a stop in Philadelphia," Nikki gave the lass the information without any extra and more confusion crossed Iris's face. 'Why is she being so nice?' Iris wondered. Oh well, she supposed in fairness she'd be nice as well, especially if they were leaving the bubble. It wouldn't do to let Nikki be blindsided when they landed. "Thanks. You should…. Check your Twitter," Iris warned not knowing if it was possible to soften that blow enough.

At the same time, Ronnie split over the dash, Crow on that second condom and Donnie entering the room again was an odd turn of events. Even so, Ronnie didn't seem too upset at it. "Yeah, just a little one… for Crow. Had to see why we are acting up all over the place. Also took a coupla' hits, ya' know how it is~" Ronnie claimed as that spine of hers arched and she found Donnie looking freshly showered and all. She figured that Nikki would give the man anything he wanted, a video was kind of crazy but she couldn't be mad, given how badly she'd wanted this particular man and for how long.

[Bloodedge]

When he passed the youngest pair on the plane, Donnie was told Iris and Melty were plotting his downfall. What an interesting claim that was. Oh well; they'd have to chat about something anyway. "Y'all... have fun wit' that," was all Donnie said while making his way along. He wasn't stopped before reaching the cockpit, but he had plenty of reason to pause once there. "G'day boss man!" Crow greeted, casually-yet-breathlessly. It took quite a bit of work for him to manage the day's two conquests, but it was work well worth committing to. "Sup," Donnie said to Crow. From that moment forward, his attention was fully on Ronnie. There was no way he'd look anywhere else when she bent her spine the way she did. "Damn, Tia, chill~ 'fore you make a big scene out here. Anyway, I guess cameras goin' all over the place on this trip. You gon' let me holla at one later?"

That simple flirt left Donnie's mouth as casually as any lyric did. He was even stepping closer to the woman while trying, and failing, to view their location on the console. Of course, his failure wasn't for lack of knowing where to look; it was for lack of bothering to look. Veronica Corbyn ─ the name would say enough to anyone who asked what happened. "So uh... shit, what was it?" One moment. Two moments. Three moments passed before Donnie set his mind right again. "Oh yeah! Where we at right now? My homegirl just hit me up, so we gotta swing by Philly first. That cool?" he asked. Crow, still balls-deep in Ronnie and breathing sharply, looked to the map in confusion... which contained a bit of concern and reprehension. "Uhh, yeah nah yeah, I'll take ya' wherever ya' like. So uhh... where's Philly, exactly? In Hawaii by any chance?" Crow asked that question, and Donnie fell silent. How long had they been in the sky? This trip was meant to last a very short amount of time, in the grand scheme... but why was Crow mentioning Hawaii? "If not... I think we're gonna need to chuck a uey. I went and bloody fucked it, didn't I?"

[Apollymi]

Donnie told the pair of girls to enjoy plotting his demise and they likely would. Soon after, those same girls were having a casual discussion with Nikki who seemed a great deal more relaxed and less aggressive than she had been in the salon part of the plane. Perhaps sex really was relaxing and perhaps Melty should have noticed the shift in her own mother's attitude earlier in the day. "Right then, I'll leave you girls to your plotting, check my Twitter and all. Melly remind me to fit you with something a little more appropriate for city wear when we land, yeah~" Nikki said making Melty's eyes widen. The acceptance of this family group was much higher than she expected and she was starting to think the exclusion of Nikki might have been ill-advised. Just the same Nikki wandered up towards the salon taking a casual seat in one of the chairs, "Yo, Leon, is something going on, online I should know about? Iris wasn't being very…" a pause came from Nikki in that moment as all across her Twitter feed she saw… a video featuring the wall of her old University apartment, a bedroom made up fairly simply and… her, a year and a half ago, copulating with Drake for all the internet to see. The caption on Drake's original post read "Whose girl got stolen? We still going strong!~" with a string of emojis that made him seem like a high school girl instead of a grown man. Nikki couldn't feel her face. Couldn't breathe, couldn't hear… she was rather suddenly furious and lost. She saw a bunch of other things too.

A series of posts of the cluster of ridiculousness that had been Nikki's birthday night from Casper Drake's perspective. A trip to the Giovanna shop that ended with him being pictured with a button instead of lips and a scathing reprimand from Giorno Giovanna. A picture of him, outside of a Cartier boutique, posing in his new suit with a cryptic message about preparing for the big night. A picture he posted himself at the dealership with a new Lamborghini… temp tags in place. And then… more incriminating things. A speeding ticket on the way to the club, captured on CCTV. Pictures of him from randoms at the club with a black haired man at a table before he busted into the VIP to ruin a perfectly reasonable day. Him storming out of the VIP and tripping into juice and getting it all over his fresh suit. Him outside of the club with his car not starting yelling at a valet while waiting on a service truck to tow him back to the dealership, that one posted to Leon's own thread. And then a series of quiet hours before his online presence resurfaced. Said he had a new short song coming out because of his acknowledgement by Giorno Giovanna. Claimed to be working on something big, and a series of screenshots which had him arguing with people from the dealership about his relationship status with Nikki. Then more pictures, his car flipping over in the middle of the highway and crashing into a Fiat. More arguments online. A sneak-diss about how even day ones turn into strangers. A tangent of unhinged messages which all culminated in the release of a sex tape from a year and a half before, a private moment. And the ratio had already begun to turn against him. Fans were writing all kinds of things… about how Blue wasn't chronically online to defend herself. Telling Drake important information. One of them even just copied a list of countries and a law that said releasing someone's lewds after a breakup was a crime in his home country and the one he was currently visiting. But the damage was done, and the video was trending… there was nothing Drake could do about it, and he was currently pacing his hotel room in London trying to get his manager to answer the phone, but all he got was a series of 'Your call cannot be completed as dialed. Please check the number and try again.'

All the while, on the plane a different kind of conversation was happening in the cockpit. Donnie got all the way to the front, and was staring at Ronnie spread across the dash like he wanted a piece. And in Donnie's defense Ronnie was there with her usual antics, "I would ask if a cat got your tongue, but it seems like a no, bruv~" Ronnie said lightly teasing tone to her voice, as her core began that steady tightening. Crow to his credit, with a bit of downtime had gotten back up to do his best after that first short round. And now Ronnie was earning exactly what she'd come for, not even considering Donnie an interruption. Surprise crossed Veronica's face, as she looked back after hearing that bit about Hawaii. "Oops, my bad bruv. Got a little high and a little distracting~" she said knowing this overshoot was at least partly her fault.

[Bloodedge]

In the salon, Leon had recently finished clearing things up for Hop ─ not that his actual explanation was anything Hop hadn't figured out already. Soon enough, he registered the return of Nikki not long after King Don passed through. "Oy Nik! You pregnant yet?" he asked shamelessly, knowing what she and Donnie had recently been up to. Ah, but Nikki had a question of her own. Was something happening online lately? Leon hadn't a clue. "I don't know. I thought you weren't s'posed to use phones on an airplane?" he replied. Only a few moments later, though, there was a certain tension. Whatever Nikki found on the internet was... surely disturbing. Even high as he was, Leon couldn't keep himself from looking on in concern as Nikki's face contorted six ways to Sunday. "What's goin' on? You alright there Nik?" he asked. All the while, Hop sat in silence and looked away. He'd gotten enough context from Iris to know what had just been found, with no clue how to address it.

All of that remained a total mystery to Donnie, who was already absently grabbing at his crotch while Ronnie teased away. "I mean shit, cat can have a lot of things. What a cat need, and what cat need it?" he flirted right along. Whatever came of that, there was another cause for concern ─ primarily the implication that they were closer to Hawaii than New York, which could only mean they'd gone far past the goal. "Bruh, what the fuck we doin' near Hawaii? Nigga done skipped all of America!" Donnie blurted out. According to Ronnie, blame could be thrown her way for getting high and... well, becoming a distraction. Donnie couldn't blame her for that; he was just freshly distracted by her very presence. Crow was in the same boat, not yet having it in him to stop thrusting and move the plane at all. "Yeah nah, that's all on me! I didn't configure the autopilot for a landing; just told 'er to keep it going. No worries though, mate, we'll be to old Philly lickity-split. Where is it now?" Whatever a Philly was, Crow would need its general location pretty soon. Donnie sighed, realizing he couldn't be too upset at the pilot either. Who wouldn't be distracted by Ronnie if presented an opportunity? "Man... you good. Philadelphia. It's in Pennsylvania."

[Apollymi]

Nikki's eyes couldn't stop rolling down the screen. She was fixated watching a spiral that led to one simple thing… a sex tape of hers from almost two years prior…. Sitting on Casper Drake's twitter feed amongst all of his other spiraling behavior. She could feel it, the air being sucked out of her lungs, the crushing oppressive power she was holding back… the rather sudden desire to become judge, jury and executioner. But… before she could properly react in those moments of stillness… she realized it wasn't just her own life she was holding together. This was a small closed in space over water and she couldn't risk everyone else, because she wanted to be coddled by what was technically her big brother. So she did the thing she would always do in the face of a moment like this… she took a deep breath, she let it out slowly… she swallowed her feelings and she kept her voice neutral and level. "Hope so, I should get back to work on that…" Nikki said seemingly in response to that pregnancy question trying not to give away too much as she began making mental moves. "It's alright bruv. I'll fill you in later. Just ah… let me get your phone for a bit?" she said, while sending a text to Iris that simply said, We can't tell Leon. And then there was a bit more… as she looked over at Hop and realized he knew at least some of it, and she said it softly, "Not a word yeah?" she offered quietly only to get up. If she got that phone off of Leon, it'd be placed into her magic item box and she'd move towards the cockpit. "Just gonna go, check on Ronnie right quick…" Nikki said still being carefully neutral. Steps measured and careful as she walked towards the cockpit.

In the meantime, Ronnie and Donnie were freely flirting even while she was full of another man and seemingly on her way to something already. "That mouth of yours real slick, innit? Gimme a bit~" Ronnie said. She was oddly enough still a bit standoffish about the multiple guy situation after some oddities in her youth, but she'd still finish this up pretty quickly. Actually just thinking about doing so had her clenching and working those hips of hers against Crow as he tried to fix the issue. Donnie wasn't even mad about anything and "Nyaaah!~" a little cat like moan escaped her as her body tensed with extra electricity around that second condom and aimed to milk the lad a second time to finish them off. "Anyway, headed to a new destination, yeah?~" Ronnie asked as she began the process of sliding off that cock and righting herself, only for Nikki to slide into the cockpit at the end as she was turning around. "I got a problem and we can't tell Leon," Nikki said in a hushed voice upon entering the room with no extra ceremony. "Why? What did Drake do?" Ronnie asked, knowing that there were very few things Nikki bothered keeping from Leon.

[Bloodedge]

"Atta girl!" Leon responded on the topic of Nikki's pregnancy. Perhaps he shouldn't have been rooting for the impregnation of his younger cousin by a man called 'Mister Steal Your Girl' of all people, but... it was something she desired, and he also wanted King Don in the family by whatever means necessary. The lengths Leon would go himself also weren't to be questioned at all. If ensuring the plan they discussed required it, he'd even help insemination himself. That kind of extreme dedication to his family was likely the reason Nikki avoided telling him about the current situation with Drake. Nikki requested his phone for a moment. Leon saw no reason not to turn it over. "Yeah, here. Somethin' wrong with yours, is it?" he asked, assuming the reason for her disturbed expressions while handing over his own device. As for Hop, there was no need of Nikki to give him instructions; it wasn't his business to tell anyway. Still, he nodded discretely when told. He didn't say a word, even when Nikki made her way toward the cockpit. Leon had a couple of things to say, however. "Oy... she just nicked me phone!" he announced in late realization. Carrying on from there without a hitch, however, he asked Hop another stupid question. "Oy bruv... you think that's morning sickness Nik's got?"

While Leon was being far too much of himself, contributing unknowingly to his own future outrage, Donnie was on his way to an interesting realization about Veronica Corbyn. Though she seemed completely onboard with a threesome involving another woman, even her own sister, she specifically avoided an act that would begin one with two men. Donnie couldn't fathom the reason, but he was content to wait along until she wrapped things up with Crow. Speaking of Crow, he was mere seconds away from a seizure at that point. Ronnie's additional efforts had his entire body convulsing as he shot out another condom full of wet ribbons and... once again fell into his own chair. Crow was busy spewing incoherencies when Ronnie spoke of the new destination, and still when Nikki entered the room. Apparently, Nikki had an issue. Donnie was quick to turn around at the cost of his initial thought process, hearing Ronnie immediately assume Drake had some involvement. "Why we not tellin' Lee?" he asked, also a bit on the hushed side.

[Apollymi]

Nikki was spiraling. There was no way around that, but her true character showed in but a single moment. She wouldn't risk everyone else to throw a tantrum, and she wouldn't let other people suffer things they couldn't recover from. The same attitude that had her skipping out on her last semester of University to make sure that America didn't lose more ground to the Kamish Raid is the same attitude that had her placating her elder brother figure to keep him from potentially spazzing out on a plane with innocent passengers onboard. Back from Iris she received a message from Iris: You don't have to worry. Also told Melty. That was all, obviously Iris had been managing this situation herself for quite a while. She got encouragement from Leon which tasted a bit bitter in the moment. "Thanks, bruv," she said going for pleased but not quite making it. She took his phone, held it hostage, had the man thinking she'd simply gone a bit wonky and all of that was fine to guarantee nothing happened that she couldn't control.

Soon enough, she'd slipped off, inside of the cockpit, where Ronnie displayed one of her lesser known traits. The confusion of Donnie was very likely and eventually Ronnie would explain, she had no issue doing so and it was similar in response to something else. But for now her oddities weren't important, as Crow was allowed to basically have his brain rewired by coitus, Nikki entered the cockpit. Drake had done something and they weren't telling Leon. In a few moments Donnie was even shifting his attention after having almost worked himself into a distraction. "Actually, I'm mad about it myself… but like… look," she said turning her phone around and giving it to Ronnie so she could pace in that small confined space. "We can't tell Leon. He'll flip," she said. "And like I also have to be careful about this… cause like… it's fucking trending," Nikki said aloud. "Damn right it's trending. I think MeruMeru might not have seen numbers this crazy. Actually, this shit is so old… you ain't even awakened in this…" Ronnie said earnestly. "Don't trip though… you're a National Hunter, it'll blow over… and you got more than enough connections to squash it. I agree though… don't tell Leon until we land, he doesn't play about his siblings," Ronnie said. "Can I say, right now… I'm fucking furious because the fuck is this?" she said knowing that both Donnie and Ronnie could be watching that tape and feeling crazed about the invasion of her privacy.

[Bloodedge]

Donnie didn't know what they were refraining from telling Leon of, but he'd find out soon enough. Nikki didn't give much of an explanation at all. Instead, she urged them to look at her phone, where a video was playing. He looked in to see Nikki, seeming a bit less filled-out than she was currently. He didn't get to see the male perspective, nor did he know what caption was attached to the original upload. What was there to be so upset about? He figured it was only natural for Leon to be kept from a sex tape of his own cousin/sister figure. Was the issue that this tape was never meant to get out? Sadly, Donnie wasn't piecing things together with any quickness.

That video was trending. Of course it was. She was Blue Lotus, and a National Hunter. It was only natural that her sex tape, of all things, would be exploding all over the internet. "Aight, so am I missin' somethin'? We mad 'cause this got leaked, or... what?" Donnie asked. He didn't have an ounce of context, but he did realize there was some legitimate fury building within both Nikki and Ronnie. Even Crow could see that ─ but his attention was drawn directly to the screen. "Uhh I don't know what we're on about either, but that's a pretty shit tape. Not you. You're bein' a bloody legend, but uhh..." Crow didn't even know how to finish his commentary about whatever male was in the video. Still, he wasn't alone in that thought process. "I'm sayin'. What's wit' that windin' on the tip joint? I ain't even seen that," Donnie added as though he meant to lighten the mood via Crow's start.

[Apollymi]

Nikki didn't originally have something to say about the problem at hand. She needed them to see it, and to freak out in hushed tones while they kept the information from Leon. Donnie for his part in this seemed rather calm. Ronnie who was used to fielding public outrage wasn't at all surprised that Drake came with his own kind of issue eventually, but she could see this going quite the wrong way for him. As he watched the video he didn't understand the massive hit it was… "Right, sorry… the caption on that video is… 'Whose girl got stolen, we still going strong,' with teen girl numbers of emojis and that rubbish line," Nikki pointed out still pacing. "Yeah, problem isn't the leak, it's the narrative going with it. Drake's one of those chronically online people. He probably posted that while getting roasted over the shit that happened on Nikki's birthday," Ronnie filled in with common sense logic.

Nikki heard out Ronnie and nodded gently, but they weren't just alone. Someone who just saw a video and had none of the context had something simple to say. Crow could be trusted for a generalist opinion. "You know what, knew I liked you, Crow. I was 19 guys, I didn't see this as a red flag," Nikki pointed out. Ronnie only nodded, but she'd seen Drake for every red flag he possessed, a bit too close to uncooked meat for her personal taste, but some lessons had to be learned. Donnie's finishing statement had Nikki giving an exasperated sigh, "I know… I was gonna work that out at a wake up but someone was being a whore this morning. And I was thinking about doing it tonight, but now two someone's are probably going to be little whores. And I wasted a move like that on Drake and now everyone is gonna know it!" she whispered erratically about the potential problems there. "You do like the way that looks though, I'm sure it'd be even better now. I got some power on it~" Nikki said slipping a bit and it leveling her out as she tried not to think about the fact that there was so much wasted on Drake. "Well, I still got a decent lawyer on hand, and we got the biggest brain in this hemisphere. I'm sure we can counter it pretty easily. Besides, people love you… no one is gonna let this ride. Only question is… are we also doing ratchet shit? Wanna go slash the tires on his fucked up car too?" Ronnie was oddly about the action. "Give me the number of the lawyer and let me start gathering things for damage control, beyond the Iris frontline."

Donnie's confusion wouldn't last very long. Nikki had an explanation that cleared everything up right away. The male in that video was none other than Drake, who seemed to be in the middle of letting his frustrations out on the world. The implication that he and Nikki were still 'going strong' was categorically false. Donnie knew it, Nikki knew it... and Drake himself certainly knew it beneath his public displays. "Bro, what the fuck?!" Donnie blurted out. "He know niggas do time for that, right?" he asked. Donnie didn't even have the numbers for that kind of crime, but he knew it was a crime nonetheless. Crow, however... would prove he was a convict. "That's a two-year minimum, mate," he added. "... Y'all niggas always know the exact number for every crime."

That aside, there was a bit of mood lightening to come. A bit of discussion about Nikki's techniques during the video led to an interesting follow-up. It seemed Donnie would be experiencing an upgraded version of the hip-roll they were looking at. In fact, Nikki alleged that he would have been witness already, if not for Ronnie's promiscuous tendencies. The same was true of today, but she considered it unlikely because of... Iris and her accomplice. "Oh, right... speakin' of them two. I was supposed to holla at you about them. You know that cousin of yours is, like... not about to stop wit' the shit. They caught a nigga in this trap earlier, and... anyway, I told 'em I was gonna pop back in on 'em. I'ma need some advice ─ but you know, after all this. If you tryna get ratchet about this Drake shit, I'll run up on a nigga in a heartbeat," he offered in the end. Donnie's own reputation was involved in this debacle as well, but he didn't seem concerned with that part at the moment. In truth, Donnie was the type who didn't take very kindly to others stepping on the shoes of people in his circle. He'd have something waiting for Drake regardless of Nikki's intentions, certainly.

Donnie wasn't given time to think over what Nikki meant in her anger. By the time she explained what exactly Drake had been doing by posting an old sex tape and claiming it was new, Nikki took solace in Donnie's reaction as he also seemed to understand the legitimate ludicrous nature of someone posting an old sex tape. "He tagged me in it!" Nikki complained, but there was so much wrong in this moment she couldn't even believe what she was seeing. "He's stupid he probably thinks he can't actually be arrested. Doesn't know about that Hunter Prison the US just opened up," Nikki complained still pacing. Crow came with the actual data, claiming at least a two year sentence. "Two years of radio silence from Drake? Might be worth the bad sextape leak~" Ronnie added trying to keep things light. In the meantime she pulled out her phone and prepared to send a number Nikki's way, "Victoria Sinclair, negotiated the end of my mainstream modeling contracts, got me out of some early career legal trouble, and has no tolerance for petulant manchildren. Bruv might end up with no cash and a longer sentence~" Ronnie pointed out as Nikki accepted the number from her.

After that, while Nikki lamented not being able to show King Don the rest of her arsenal of sexual prowess because of semi-constant interruptions. Donnie spoke on the other two girls on this plane getting him caught up. Donnie spoke on it, and also claimed he was down to run up with her if she just wanted to be ratchet. "I know… I had a conversation with Iris and Melly, I gave them until we get to Japan to figure out how to manage the magical part. If anyone would figure it out… it'd be Iris… and then everything else will be fine. Well, except for the retribution but that's nothing for you to worry that pretty head of yours over~" she said about the kids. As for the ratchet stuff she held her chest. "I really might want to do something, not sure what yet… but when I figure it out, I'll let ya' know. Right now. I gotta keep Leon cool and call the lawyer, pay my retainer and find out what I can and can't get away with as far as my side is concerned. I also got to secure the video I know Serena took, I feel like that's gonna be important," she mentioned almost casually. "I ain't even shagged 'im since before the Kamish Raid, and look what he put out there. That's not even my best work…" Nikki cringed as she watched herself walk off, a little bounce in her step as she left Drake to clean up after himself. Her voice asking if he wanted a cuppa.

Drake... tagged Nikki in his online lie. Of all the ridiculous things he'd already done with that stunt, that simple move was perhaps the most ignorant, and outright idiotic, thing he could have added to the mix. If he thought himself immune to the legal consequences of revenge porn, he was sorely mistaken. Only a National Hunter could get away with something like that in this world. "Who, Drake? That nigga ain't immune to gettin' arrested where we from! He ain't immune to the fade either, and he tryna see it!" Donnie rambled. The longer this matter sat in his mind, the more bothered he was about it.

While Ronnie handed off the name and number of her lawyer, Crow continued watching the tape with great interest. Donnie kept an eye on it as well, but he remained active in discussion. The matter of Iris and Melty had been brought up... and apparently Nikki had given them a pass that took effect when their group reached Japan. Donnie thought only for a moment before a silent 'oh' left his mouth. "I see what it is. That's kinda devious. I don't think Riri gon' wait around though," he said. Only two seconds later, he had a moment of realization. "Hol' up, Victoria Sinclair? You tryna get that nigga life, ain't it? She got me out on my case when I awakened," he explained briefly. Donnie had actually lost that woman's number over the past few months. That aside, he and Crow were soon both watching the end of a sex tape... and both threw arms in the air with an exasperated sigh, simultaneously even. "The fuck you mean she walkin' off that quick?!" Donnie asked, distancing himself from the video. Whatever the case, he would also be getting involved in the Drake issue. A few lyrics were already forming in his head... and now that he thought about it, he had something else to check with Iris about. While he remembered that, Donnie began making his way. "You know what? Hold up, I gotta holla at Riri right quick."
