’ infamous 'Glacial Storm' of 2014. It is advised to stay at home if at all possible and prepare accordingly ’ The sound of the tv wafted to her ears as she peaked around the corner of her bathroom door, a tooth brush hanging out of her mouth….Well looks like there was no school today…She spit in the sink and rinsed her mouth…aaaahhh minty fresh. Valdis grabbed the remote from her sink and clicked off the flat screen tv that hung above the fire place in a black baroque frame. She then streaked across the large expanse of her room and opened a drawer in a large armoire. Since she was home today might as well be comfy. She donned on a spooky black cat kigurumi pajama suit, complete with tail and cat eared hood.
She skipped out of her room and down the hall of their very large mansion, all while humming to herself. It wasn’t often she got a day off and she planned to enjoy this snow day thoroughly.
”Ohhhh DAAADDYYY, did you see the news we get to spend the whoooolle day together”
She giggled insanely; as house hold servants ducked around the corner avoiding the crazy mistress. Valdis kept peeking around corners looking for her poor unfortunate victim of a father.

When the nation is in peril, it's leader is busy. , Really...really...busy.
Prime Minister Adoji Ito was wearing a black robe in his downstairs study, sitting at a desk with two computers lit along with a television. Several cell phones were ringing off the hook as many, many people were trying to get his input on how to handle the scenario. When Valdis inevitably sticks her head in, she would overhear a part of a conversation.
"I don't CARE how much overtime it costs, I want them to keep the roads cleared! How can emergency services or the military be expected to react to anything that can come up? Just get it done!" he says, snapping that particular phone shut, before picking up another.
"Masuou. Put the military on high alert and ready status in case something comes up. This situation is a potential ploy of the Covenant to lower our ability for an invasion. You know those damn freaks have things we can't begin to emulate.." he mumbles, obvious busy and distracted by his duties to notice his insane daughter's approach.

Aaaanndd…there he was….She couldn’t help but over hear, her dad seemed stressed out understandably so. She quietly ducked her head out and ran back to her room grabbing some pencil and paper. Sketching out a rough map of Tokyo, she just drew out the main roads in and out of the city and the roads circling around the outer edges. She also drew the roads heading to the schools, and military bases. Basically what she drew out was a well thought out plan of which roads should be cleared…it made much more sense than spreading men out thin to do all of them…this way they’d be able to keep up. She ran back to her father’s office and slid him the paper, hopefully it would help, maybe it wouldn’t. As soon as he put down the next phone Valdis popped up.
”Are you talking about the things that attacked the park, along with Akihibara”
If those attacks were classified the question on how Valdis knew them would defiantly be aroused.

There was already a plan for a situation such as this. Naturally with urban planning, there were contingency plans created for every conceivable scenario. While it wasn't that Valdis' little drawing wasn't helpful, it was far more elaborate to orchestrate a team of inclement weather control teams than simply adhering to a handwritten drawing. He nods in acceptance, and once he finishes the phone call with the General, he looks at her slightly suspiciously.
"Attacks? What makes you think that there were attacks?" he remarks.
Plausible Deniability. Thou art the one truth of politicians.

Valdis raised an eyebrow giving him the look that said are you really trying that crap with me. She spun a lock of her hair around her finger. Seriously didn’t he question why she didn’t show up the other night…Guess not when she got home not even the maids had been worried. She was beginning to think she wasn’t really well liked here.
”I dunno either I was in your file cabinet again or perhaps it was because I was at the scene…I know about at least two the one in Azabu and the Akihibara scene. Seriously Dad, how are they getting past the military? Why are they attacking Japan now?”
She sat up on his desk her legs swinging back and forth. If her father could play the vague game so would she. He knew by now if he wanted a straight answer from Val he would have to be honest himself.

Adoji takes off his glasses and rubs his eyes with his index and thumb, a sign that he was annoyed. This wasn't something like being against a bad boyfriend or a type of music, this was a matter of the state and life and death scenarios. Why she would want to have information on this sort of thing was not sensible. However, he was the head of a state, he couldn't just babble about state affairs with his daughter.
"Even if there were happenings such as that, any information is highly classified and thus not available for the public." he says, as this was clearly not a subject he was willing to get into with his wild and crazy daughter. If she was going about school telling state secrets, it would cause a panic.
As far as the situation with the night out of the house went, Valdis was known to occasionally pass out at the studio doing some kind of work, Ito and others assumed it was the case. Or rather the maids assumed so grateful for a quiet night without the insane one in.

Another dodge, though she was getting closer. But it was obviously a subject her dad was not going to cross willingly. That and he did use is instead of would be….
”Classified for anyone not involved”
Valdis stared her father down, like a cat stalking prey. This wasn’t one of her mess with people plots…though she couldn't blame him if he thought that. But she did give him that line to hopefully get him intrigued. If that line didn't cause alarm she did not know what would. She inspected her nails waiting for him to take the bait. She could be as tough as any other of his political buddies when she wanted to be. Her gaze dared him to think about that statement a little more.

Adoji looks up with Valdis with a half-glare, but then his eyes narrow as he gets up, walks to the doorway into the study, and orders a nearby servant to clear the entire wing of the mansion. Valdis would know that this only happened during substantial conversations involving state or other important functions.
When Adoji was satisfied there were no prying ears to overhear, he gives her a hard stare down.
"Just what exactly do you think you know about these 'attacks' that you have caught in your imagination of happening?"

She pissed of daddy, she pissed of daddy, she pissed off daddy. Ah the power of kids to drive all parents insane. Though at least he was finally taking her somewhat seriously, especially if he cleared the area….she had seen him do so many times, though she had her hidey holes when she wanted to spy. Most of the time she had no interest to, but when she was bored, very bored, she may have wandered into some odd places.
Valdis just gave him a bored stare in returned, his stare down not bothering her in the slightest…she got so many of them they were considered a normal part of her daily life.
”Your taking something that you think is just in my imagination quite seriously….”
She paused taking her time, she knew she was testing her father’s patients so she did not keep him waiting long.
”I know of two attacks like I said, the first one happened in the Azabu district in the park on August 5th around 4:30 in the afternoon. Where a group of people fell like flys after breathing in pollen…yes pollen… created from red blossoms on the trees. Note not on all the tree’s each spaced twenty feet apart, the first sign of something unnatural. Before help could be obtained a large creature burst forth from the ground, dryad in appearance. She…or it….not too sure then began attacking. Regular weapons such as a homemade flame thrower did nothing but annoy it, then something with powers just as strong as it comes and whoops its ass…How I don’t know….at that point I was blinded and my but was burned because I was pulling an angry monkey routine…you know how I hate to be ignored Daddy.”
She batted her eyelashes in a look of mock innocence.
”Second attack happened in the Akihibara section, my manager and I were walking and I happened to be grabbed by a bunch of thugs….there was a foot to ball contact and I pulled a disappearing routine, but low and behold guess who was apart of the Creeps R’ US… She turned into this thing that controlled this energy and began choking thugs and such and beating on a cute red head who decided to turn all noble. I had thought the red head had beat the thing to oblivion but guess who was waiting at the agency when I got there…AND THAT is the reason why I’m poking you for information. I want to know WHY the hell do I have a covenant member as my fucking manager…”

As Adoji listened to his daughter's long and well thought out explanation of the events, her descriptions seemed to match up what the reports written in the aftermath of these battles were showing. He pulls a key from a ring and reaches to a file drawer nearby, withdrawing a bottle of scotch and a glass, filling it partially and then taking a sip as he thought about how to direct this conversation now from here.
"...If what you say is true, then there is much to consider. I was hoping that these incidents were just some delinquents trying to stage it like they did in 2018. But the past week there have been things happening all over the city. The Naval forces surrounding Sapporo are supposed to be holding them off, so I can only guess the Covenant is finding a way to...materialize...for lack of a better word of people into the city..." he says, closing his fist and then whacking the desk in irritation.
"It frustrates me. My country is supposed to be the last bastion of where humanity can live in relative peace and this is cropping up. My boys in the army seem to chase their tails around and that damn professor who is working on something hasn't been returning my calls. And if it's true your manager is one of them, then we need to separate you from her...and if you see one, you run and get the military or something, don't you dare get involved." he says with an annoyed sigh...before looking up at Valdis.
"You know I have a job of the uptmost importance, I can't have you endangering yourself fighting monstrosities that can kill you. Believe it or not, I care about you even if I don' show it that often." he says with a sigh.

”They look no different from you or me until they transform… you wouldn’t be able to tell. Who knows they could have been sneaking into the city for years. That or people have become so discourage there finding a way to become a part of the covenant.”
She blinked when the desk she was sitting on got smacked; she debated on moving but decided not to. Instead she played with the tail on her pajamas.
”As for your issue with the professor, to get his attention you have to bait him with something he can’t resist….that or track the bastard down and do a flying monkey leap on his back…people have the hardest time ignoring you when you do that. It’s a fail proof method.”
She looked thoughtful when he said they must separate her from her manager…she agreed with this and it had been a dilemma that she had been working on.
”I’m good at making my managers disappear but I usually do so by acting insane, playing pranks, pretending to be a Satanist… but this person actually out insaned me….I really don’t know what to do…I want to top her …but I know I shouldn’t….but I really want to….”
The expression on her face showed that she was seriously torn and a bit shocked….shocked she actually had a limit, and torn with the wanting to go beyond that limit. SHE LOVED pushing boundaries… only toping that would be pushing the bounds on what was legal and she wasn’t in the mood to get arrested…that would put a damper on her fun.
”But if your suggesting I don’t go to work I refuse; I have a gamble planned for my carrer. Either it will rocket the band and I to new levels, or get us fired. As for my manager she acts normal around me it was when I disappeared on her that she freaked and went mental…. An enemy watched is better than an enemy unknown. “
She was touched at the small bit of affection her dad showed and she gave him a small smile.
”I believe it dad and I won’t pull anymore angry monkey routines or handmade flame throwers…The method doesn’t work well. I don’t plan on fighting them; as for running though I don’t think that will work. From what I’ve seen they go after and incapacitate most people who try to run. Though…when I did attack the first one it could have killed me, it had its hands around my throat and everything…then just tossed me aside. I’m not even sure what that ones target was…though the second one was just trying to kill everything.”
She plopped down on her feet.
”On a side note it works to both our advantage that the fact I’m your daughter is not a wide known fact I’m your daughter. I just use Mortimer as my last name for my music the Ito isn't flaunted that much, I can act as insane as I want and it doesn't stain your name. So if people are going after me to get to you, I’d check your inner circle….Now serious conversations aside can we go eat breakfast?”

"Hmph...hiding in plain sight, and no real way to detect them. That's what I had been afraid of this whole time. The invisible enemy is quite frankly more terrifying than the obvious one. He takes another sip of his drink and then continues to listen to Valdis' ramblings about her various going ons.
"I feel as though at this point I should lock you in your room to keep you out of that trouble, but I'm sure even if I did that you would find at least three different ways to get away. " he says with a slight sigh of defeat. knowing his daughter all too well. "I'll have that manager investigated, but I can't have her dragged off in the middle of the night. There has to be an adherence to procedure or there will be murmurings of a dictatorship or something." he says with another sigh, realizing how early it was yet and then putting the drink down again.
"Well it's not as though a determined reporter couldn't easily figure out your lineage...the public already knows, it's just considered a sign of rebellion that you go by Mortimer. I do miss your mother...especially on days like this.." Adoji says, then getting up when Valdis mentions breakfast.
"I suppose food is needed..." he says, pressing a call button. "Kasama, prepare a Presidential Breakfast at once, thank you." he states, then getting up and stretching. A cell phone goes off, but he ignores it for now...letting it run to voicemail. Even a political figure was entitled to a family breakfast sometimes.
