Micah slammed the final spike into place, finishing the rope web she'd been building. She stepped back and admired her handiwork. "You comfy up there? No circulation cutoff or nerves or anything?" She called up into the center of the web. Three nights before, Luci had paralyzed her in the shower and left the curtain open until the Mistress pulled the needles out a few hours later. So now, here was the response; she'd built a lovely little rope web in the courtyard, and bound Luci in the center of it, about 10 feet off the ground. Oh, and Micah "misplaced" any clothing Luci had been wearing above her waist. Luci had left her in the open naked, so Micah would do the same.
Luci glared daggers at Micah from her position in the web. She'd effectively resigned herself to staying like this for a couple of hours, so she wasn't struggling. She was, however, already planning vengeance.

"Is this really alright Josephine?" Paula asked as a black limousine pulled up in front of a rather large castle as Paula looked from the rear mirror to Josephine.
"They called me so I assume that they want something from me," Josephine said, "besides what can go wrong?"
"Do I really need to spell it out for you?" Paula asked.
"I have you," Josephine said, "that is enough protection for me."
"I still think that this is a bad idea."
"Perhaps," as Josephine got out of the car before Paula followed her turning off the car before she followed her, eyes always alert as she looked around to see if there were any threats in the area before Josephine stood in front of the castle and raised the knocker and slammed it on the door.

The Mistress answered almost immediately. "Welcome home." She said, opening the door wide.

"Hello," Josephine said, "I'm here to see the," as she pulled out the card, "Mistress? I think that she sought me out for some group that she wanted me to join."

Ashia stood a little off by the Mistress' side, saying nothing and eyeing Josephine and Paula with a curiosity and caution.

"That would be me." The Mistress replied, inclining her head a little. "I did invite you to join the Flower Clan. A bit older than I would like, but you have potential. Please, come in."

Josephine nodded in acknowledgement, "It is a pleasure to meet you," she said before she and Paula walked in as Paula eyed Ashia immediately.

Ashia closed the door behind them, latching it shut before stepping back into her previous position.

"And you as well. This is Ashia. Forgive her if she doesn't wish to shake your hand or touch you in anyway." The Mistress gestured to the silent woman next to her. "I will show you around the compound now." The Mistress began walking, expecting her guests to keep up.

Josephine and Paula said nothing as they followed the Mistress, easily able to keep up with her, as they looked around the castle and saw that it was splendid indeed, "What exactly do you do here Mistress?" Paula asked bluntly.

Ashia followed behind Josephine and Paula at a respectable distance, arms crossed below her chest.

"Well, this is the home of the Flower Clan. We train here, we live here, our whole lives revolve around this compound." The Mistress replied.
Micah could hear footsteps. She decided to stay put, taking a seat and leaning against the base of her web. Luci tried to adjust, but bound as she was, it was effectively useless. She simply opted to continue plotting vengeance.

"I see," Paula said turning back and feeling uncomfortable with Ashia behind them, "but that doesn't explain what exactly you do, as in what the purpose of the Flower Clan is," Paula clarified.

"We are a clan of ninjas. We uphold arts older than any human memory and use them for the betterment of mankind. This is not a business that churns out a product. We don't "do" something, we are something." The Mistress explained, as they passed the courtyard and came into full view of Micah's rope web and it's occupant. The Mistress simply chose to ignore it.

Ashia raised a brow, "You came into our den without knowing anything? How foolish."
She too ignored the web.
