The Dark, The Evil, and The Master [Alex, Tobias, Musashi]

Reading the invitation, Tobias smiled to himself. First time invited to something and it was by the remnant of the Titan gang. They were ripped apart by the Lightning Gang in a fight that he himself witnessed. It was an interesting time.

Weapons and armor, hm? If there is going to be a fight, I won't be needing those. Armor slows one down and I already hand one hand busy with this stupid cane.

Slipping the invitation back into his breast pocket of his vest, he shook his head as the entry doors were in front of him. It was very impressive and the area certainly set the vibe that enhanced the mansion. Placing his hand on the door and shoving, Tobias stepped forward into the foyer that was well heated. His cane kept pace with his left leg to support the weakened limb. Seeing stairs ahead of him, hesitation and dread filled him. Stairs and uneven surfaces caused him to hate people around him, especially those that have a great deal of them within their residence.

Going up the stairs was slow going using his cane and the railing, but Tobias made it to the top with minimal pain due to the medication flowing through him. It was a struggle and one that he had to deal with on a daily basis.

This had better be worth it.

Placing his hand on the door on the right side, Tobias pushed the door opened under the pressure exerted and walked slowly into the room leaning heavily on his cane.

Raising an eyebrow at the blatant disrespect shown to him and a wicked smile began to form on his face as anger flared in his eyes. This was going to be interesting and if this was what was meant about bringing your gear here, Tobias was already set.

"I may be crippled, but that does not make weak. At least not as weak as the defunct gang once called the Titans."

His grip tightened on his cane and his anger smoldered into a small fire within him. This was going to be fun and even if it ended horribly for anyone here, he was glad he accepted this invitation. It may have been a low blow to mention the disbanding of the gang, but if it was going to be a battle of wits then Tobias was not going to lose. A physical fight he might lose, but that was the chance of engaging the world. His blood ached for a fight and wanted to scream in his veins as he pummeled those that dared stand in his way.

"Elderly? Willing to do anything to move without a cane? Your eyes are deceiving you and your manners need improvement. I am able to move well enough right now and should I have the need to move quickly, I shall. My leg will heal. Even if it does not, I shall still not require anyone's help to deal with it."

Turning his head to the side as he smiled, Tobias bowed slightly as his eyes never left the man speaking to him.

"I am known as Tobias Ross. I received an invitation to this estate and yet while there was nothing mentioned as to why the invitation was sent, I still came out of interest to see where the ensuing conversations may lead. What is the purpose of which I was sought out?"

His eyes tracked his host and watched as the distance was kept between them didn't change. Someone who was wary of those around him, yet kept him calm demeanor. The fangs of his host were kept sheathed while the man approached him, yet stood a bit away. The next words were surprising to hear and while he was not showing it on his face, it was a considerable idea. So far Tobias had no allies within the area and they were not needed for his plans. Though scapegoats could be useful. Then again, allies could help until he has acquired enough strength and maybe even after such.

"Would I be your ally? In what capacity? What would be my benefit in this alliance?"

Shifting slightly as he re-positioned himself to ease pressure on his left hand on his cane and placed more weight on his right leg. There was some pain, but he would not voice any of it. Pain taught one that they were still alive and were merely limited. Those limits were meant to be surpassed.

"While I have no need of a place, the idea is intriguing."

Stepping to the side with the assistance of his cane, Tobias moved away from the door and let his back face the wall.

"Prove you are a worthy of an alliance."

There are many ways that this could play out and all were equally exciting. An alliance could be profitable as long as both groups were moving along the same way. Whether or not the mentioned ally that was in the house existed, it does not mean that they would work together.

Ooc: This is done from my phone while taking a break while working.

"One must prove their worth to potential parties. Do as you feel you must, as we all shall. Combat is but one way to test someone. Though it is the more enjoyable way."

His body was loose and he had a chance to test the limits of the crippled form he currently possessed. This would be a great way to test if he was capable of beginning his plans. The smile never left his face and the pain faded slightly. Just as a wolf would show his fangs if combat was to ensue, he kept the tension out of his muscles. All prepared for a moments notice if the fight actually began.
