Sins
"What are you all doing?!" the young woman said. She had short brown hair, purple eyes, and wearing a red dress, brown boots, and a purple pendant. Her name was Dante, a feared alchemist, who was right now, facing her minions.
Five figures sat around a table. One was a beautiful woman with wavy brown hair and a long dress. Beside her was a large man, who was gnawing on the table. Next to him was a young man with long green hair and wearing a woman-like outfit. Next to him was an older man with an eye-patch, sipping tea. And the last one was a woman with brown hair and wearing a red dress. The two things these people had in common were their violet eyes and red tattoos on different parts of their bodies. They were the Homunculi, servants of Dante.
Usually, there were 15, but one didn't work with them and lived outside of town, one was rogue, and the other joined the good guys, so there were only 13 sins, the five original, who were lazying about in the kitchen right now, and the seven minor, who were lazying in their bedrooms.
"To be specific, nothing," the green-haired man, named Envy, shrugged in a bored manner as he kept sitting there.
"Well, why don't you get up, wake those lazy minor sins up, and get going on your duties!?" Dante seethed.
"It's not like you asked us to do all those things," the beautiful woman, named Lust, retorted with the large man, Gluttony, laughing.
"I don't need to ask you! I expect you to do without me asking!" Dante said angrily.
"Fine, fine. Sorry to keep you waiting," the eye-patched man, Pride, said in an irritated tone as he drank the rest of his tea and got up.
"Good," Dante smirked. "Any volunteers to wake the others?"
"I'll do it," the woman in red, Sloth, sighed as she and the other sins got up.
"Good, I'll meet you all in the foyer to give you your duties," their leader said bluntly as she walked out.
"She's scary, Lust," Gluttony whimpered as he sucked his thumb. "Don't worry, Gluttony. Today's the day we might not be dealing with her anymore," Lust told her friend as the five minions smiled evilly before walking off.
"I'll got get the others and we'll tell them later," Sloth said as she walked up the stairs and into the first of the minor sin's room.
In one of the rooms was a young teenage girl had just got up and was putting outfit on. She had wavy-like, messy black hair and violet eyes. She sighed, "Can that woman be any louder," and slipped out of her PJ's and slipped on a black dress with a yellow web design, which covered her red tattoo on her left hip.
Walking to the corner, she placed on black fingerless gloves and tied up her black boots.
"Well, are you ready for a new day, Revenge?" the girl asked herself as she looked in the mirror. The girl was Revenge, one of the minor sins. She lifted a silver necklace with the Flamel insignia on it, looking sadly at it. "Maybe you'll also learn of your past."
As soon as Revenge put the necklace on, Sloth came to the room and said, "Nice to see your up."
"Just got up," Revenge rolled her eyes before continuing, "That woman could wake the whole town with her whining."
Sloth merely nodded as she said, "Go down to the foyer for your duties."
"Fine, maybe I'll get to see Hypocrisy today." Hypocrisy was a rogue minor sin that didn't work for Dante, but still caused trouble. She had actually become quite close to Revenge.
Sloth nodded again and prepared to leave before Revenge added, "Don't bother checking Chaos; I heard him leave for Greed's place around early morning." Greed was a major sin that didn't work for Dante and lived outside of town. Chaos worked for him, although he lived at Dante's mansion.
"I figured as much," the woman sighed as she left followed by Revenge, who headed to the foyer.
Sloth entered a room to see a little girl sleeping on a large bed. She had curly blonde hair with black streaks in it and right now she was wearing a nightgown. At the foot of the bed on the floor was a little boy with messy red hair and wearing black pajamas, curling in his light blanket while holding a rabbit that looked strangely like Mesousa. The girl was Malice and the boy was Spite.
"Malice and Spite, wake up," Sloth said tenderly as she shook the kids a bit. They groaned and sat up with groggy eyes.
"Hi, Sloth," Spite yawned as Malice, rubbing her eyes, mumbled, "Morning, Sloth."
Sloth didn't bother to ask why Spite was on the floor. She knew Malice made him sleep there every night.
"Get ready to go and head to the foyer," Sloth told them as she watched them get out of bed.
"Oh, Masochism wants to talk to you about Sadism," Spite said, as he and his friend were waking up.
"Is that right. Fine, I'll talk to her," the woman sighed as she walked out.
"Okay, Spite. Get your clothes and go to the bathroom while I change!" the little girl said bossily. The boy shrugged as he took some clothes out of the wardrobe and went into the bathroom.
When he was done changing, he now wore a black vest with a cross-shaped zipper, black shorts, and black and white sneakers. The shorts barely covered the red tattoo that was over his belly-button.
He then sighed, "Malice, are you done yet?"
"Almost!" cried a shrill voice. The boy just waited in the room until she cried, "Ready!" He came out to see his friend wearing a black tube top that had a cross-shaped sipper, a black miniskirt, and high black boots. The skirt barely showed the tattoo under her belly-button.
"How do I look?" she asked him. He stared at her with a bored look as he gave her a thumbs-up.
"Oh, you're no fun," Malice pouted before saying, "Let's go to the foyer like Sloth said." The two kids then walked out of the room and down the stairs.
"Lie?" Sloth said as she opened the door into a messy room where a teenage girl lay asleep on her messy bed. She had shoulder-length dark brown hair and was wearing a black sports bra, low-riding black jeans, and black wristbands, while large earphones jammed music in her ears. Her Ouroborous could be seen near her rear as she turned on her stomach. This was Lie.
"Oh, for God's sake," Sloth sighed as she took the earphones off the girl and started to shake her. "Lie, wake up! What am I now, a mother trying to get her kid out of bed!?"
When the girl still didn't budge, Sloth sighed and then sprayed the teen with water, instantly startling the girl awake.
"Sloth, the hell where you thinking!?" Lie yelled. "Time to get up," the woman deadpanned as she threw the girl her black boots.
Lie rolled her eyes, but slipped into her boots. "Oh, and Sadism did it again. He tried to keep that girl's mouth shut, but I could still hear her muffled screams, so put those earphones on."
Is that what Masochism wants to talk to me about? Sloth thought. "Alright, I'll go get him now," she then shuddered in disgust, "though I'm dreading it."
"Just get in, get out, and try not to breath. That's what I do," Lie shrugged as she went past Sloth. "See ya' downstairs."
Sloth then turned around and headed to a closed door.
"Sadism?" the woman asked as she knocked on the door. "Come in," a young male's voice said. Sloth hesitated, then opened the door, only to be welcomed by an overpowering stench of death and blood.
She tried to breath from her mouth as she saw a young male lounging on the bed, reading a thick book. He had blackish-grey hair styled like Envy's only not as high and he was wearing a black sleeveless shirt, black shorts, and no shoes. The Ouroborous was plainly in sight on his left arm. This was Sadism.
As Sloth looked around his dark room she could tools of torture lining the walls. Plus, she could see fresh blood on the ground and his closet was bulging, as if he had something stuffed in it that was large…
"Malice and Spite say that Masochism wants to say something about you," Sloth said. When Sadism just sat there, continuing to read, she said, "Lie then told me how one of your victims was making a ruckus, even though you tried to keep her quiet. Are any of those connected?"
Sadism then shut his book and got of the bed, careful to avoid stepping in blood. "Sloth, Dante said I may have as many pets as I want to play with as long as their squeals didn't bother her. Since she's not angry with me, she didn't hear anything. Now what is it?" he snapped.
She glared stonily at him before saying, "The foyer for your duties. Go." He shrugged as he swayed past her and to the foyer.
Sloth glanced at the room one last time before closing the door. She really felt sorry for the poor soul that was going to clean the room.
"Masochism, nice to see your up again," Sloth said as she walked in the room to see a girl sitting by the window and looking out with a melancholy look. She had medium brown hair that reached her shoulders and she wore an outfit like Sloth's. The tattoo was hidden by her glove, which was on her left wrist. This was Masochism, Sadism's little sister.
"I've been up since 4 am," the girl said softly with a dark edge to it. "I heard Chaos leave and the muffled pleas of Sadism's victim. Malice and Spite came to my room because they heard as well. I comforted them and sent them back to bed." She then looked at Sloth and said, "We have to stop Sadism's little play with his 'pets.'"
"I have no jurisdiction, Masochism," Sloth said. "Go to the foyer." Masochism blinked before getting up and walking out with Sloth in tow.
"Lust, Gluttony, and Revenge; you go spy on Fullmetal, his brother, and Braveheart," Dante ordered as all the sins were gathered together.
As the three Homunculi stood there, Dante snapped, "Go on! Do your duties!" The three glared before taking off.
"Malice and Spite; I want you two to spy on that traitor Wrath," Dante told the kids. Wrath had left the Homunculi to be with the good guys.
Malice was practically beaming as she grabbed a bored-looking Spite and rushed out the door.
"Pride and Sloth; go to Central and spy over there," the woman told them as the two left with Sloth now being Juliet Douglas.
"The rest of you," she told Lie, Envy, Sadism, and Masochism. "Try and do something meaningful."
They nodded and took off, ready to start the day.
GW: Man, that's a tiring chapter. Next chapter will be focusing on Revenge. If there's any song you want to appear in her chapter or any of the other chapters that I like, I'll use it. Otherwise, I'll use the songs I picked out for them.
Revenge: I am not saying that dorky catchphrase.
GW: Aren't you a cheery load of sunshine? Fine, Read and Review 'til next time
