"I'll have a coffee, black. Imperial Coast if Miss Labelle hasn't hidden them away, if it's possible." the red headed woman in a casual blue blouse, black trousers and low heeled boots requested. "And for the little one, a glass of apple juice please. And a plate of assorted biscuits, no chocolate though please..." Kado asked, nodding to the young brownish grey haired child beside her who promptly pouted at the notion of no chocolate.
"I know it tastes good, but we know what it does to you now don't we?" the older woman playfully chided, causing the boy to blush before trying to hide himself away at a nearby booth table. Kado rolled her eyes and sighed. "One of the few downsides to some types of Quirk, playing havoc with your stomach." she mused, the barista nodding sympathetically.
"Oh, and sorry but one last thing..." Kado said, chuckling slightly as the barista resisted the urge to roll their eyes. "If at all possible, assuming she is in and not treating herself at the spa or something, could you tell Miss Labelle that the florist is here to discuss some paperwork? Thank you so much." she said with a bow of her head before going off to join the young boy at the booth table.
Kado had to admit, Marcie's cafe here in Tokyo really was quite lovely. Whilst she had a little nook in her florists for customers to have a spot of tea and coffee, it was definitely not on the same level as this establishment was. Then again, Marcie's business was a particular thematic style to it, Euro-chic or something like that she had called it, whilst Kado's little nook was a more homey sort of feel to it.
She looked over at the young boy sat beside her and slowly and gently ruffled his hair. "It will be alright Tsune. Marcie's a friend and can be trusted. Do you trust me?" Kado asked quietly so that the other customers wouldn't be able to overhear. The boy slowly nodded, a hand reaching over to take a grip on Kado's blouse. She petted his hand reassuringly and waited for their order to arrive.
Ever since the Saint Marta destruction party, Kado had been looking after this particular little one whilst the others had gone off to trusted locations who would be able to try and help fix the damage that that hellhole had done to them. Physically and more importantly mentally. However, young Tsune had refused to leave her side... And since Marta's files had gone up in smoke and flame along with the rest of the building she had no documentation regarding him... Which was a bit of a problem if he was going to continue living with her.
Kado didn't mind, but there was the inevitability of governmental interference, and so she had come here to Marcie's "headquarters" coffee shop as it were in an attempt to work out some sort of... documentational assistance. That was her area of expertise as Mystrem after all...

Marceline was chilling out in the office space of one of her many cafes across Tokyo, indulging in a nice bit of cheesecake with a special pink sauce layered into the foundation of the cake. She was thankful for a quirk at times like this. Not only was it a great way to burn excess energy but it also meant, in her particular case, even if she were to get fat she could just put on a special skin suit until she managed to work the excess fat off. Today had been fairly quiet business wise too, so maybe she'd have to find some excuse to use her quirk if she was going to indulge herself like this.
She'd just been about to get truly comfortable, kicking her legs up onto her desk and leaning back in her chair, a forkful of cake pressing against her tongue when she heard a knock at the door. Shifting carefully to remove her legs from the desk. The employees of all of her cafes knew that she could be both incredibly strict and incredibly lax in the oddest ways. So long as they did their job she could typically be fine with them working at their own pace, profit wasn't a large bother to her since... well, she could always fudge the numbers to launder more money.~ In cases like this her relaxing in the back of the office wasn't at all unusual for this time of day, but the young manager who came into the room was quick to ensure her uniform was properly resting over her figure, one of the things marcie was more strict about.
"Come in dear.~" She chimed as the woman took the initiative to step inside, Marcie's brow rising as she rested her chin atop her lingers. "So what do I have to thank for your visit?"
The young manager gave a playful giggle behind her hand before responding. "We had a young woman who said they needed to do some paperwork with you? A er... florist? She didn't give her name sorry." Not unusual, unlike starbucks Marcie didn't like the idea of people giving their names to members of her staff. Especially if it were people who were visiting for illegal business. Briefly she had to wonder who might be going under the name of the florist before it clicked and she lightly bonked her forehead with the base of her palm.
"Ah, yes, I remember now. Please, give me a minute and then show her back here. We can't be doing paperwork in the customer space now can we?"
The young manager smiled and bowed her head. "Of course Ma'am. I'll go get her for you now." She quickly skipped out of the room and Marcie made an effort to clean up. She kept the half cake on her table and let it rest there for now should she need a snack, dusting off crumbs from her desk and cleaning up some of the office toys on her desk. This was one of the cafes she worked out of most so her office was a little more high end than others. There was a line of shelves with small awards she'd gotten from health inspectors and other small associations that just liked to praise successful new business', and a few commendations from charities who appreciated her generous donations, and on the other wall a TV that filled most of the space where she tended to play news or hold video conferances.
The young manager would approach Kado and their companion for the day, bow her head and guide them carefully to the backroom, Marcie unable to resist, had her chair's back to the door and waited till she heard it close again, spinning around with a cheeky smile on her features as she leaned back comfortably. "Well helloooooo Kado dear... to what do I owe the pleasure of your company?" She glanced to the younger individual with them, her brow rising a little with surprise as she wondered what possible reason they could have for accompanying Kado today. Marcie only had one other chair opposite her desk, sighing softly and bringing out her halo. She flicked it to the other chair, and let it flow down the chair, what was once a singular chair now replaced by an office chair designed for two people, wide enough to sit them both. "Sorry, I didn't expect you to have company.~"

Kado took a sip of the coffee that had been brought to their table. Rather quite quickly as well, but with no hint of it having been a rushed job. It didn't taste quite like what Atalanta had brewed for the girls back at Sonya's penthouse, but that could be down to the difference in coffee machines, or even the freshness of the beans, or any other external factors. Tsune for their part just quietly sucked up their juice through the provided straw.
The red head perked an eyebrow as a woman with a managers badge came up and approached them, wishing to direct them to Miss Labelle's office right away. "Didn't think we'd be seen this soon." Kado chuckled, collecting her cup and the plate of biscuits. The young boy quickly got up and held on to the older woman, although they seemed to shrink and wince automatically when their glass was knocked over in the process.
"It's okay, it's okay. Accidents happen..." she said softly, brushing a hand through his hair and down to his cheek. "Accidents happen... You are not in trouble. Okay?" asked Kado, the young boy slowly nodding his head. Kado offered him the plate of biscuits to carry, and then the pair followed the manager to Marceline's office. When the green-haired woman spun around in her chair, the red head couldn't help but roll her eyes and smirk.
"All you're missing is the cat my dear Marceline." she quipped. When the halo appeared, Tsune's eyes widened and his jaw dropped a little. "Wow..." he said softly, Kado giving an amused snort at the young boys reaction to Marcie's Quirk in action. The older woman directed the boy to take a place on the newly extended seat before taking her own spot beside him. "He's actually why I'm here Marcie." she began to explain.
"You remember Luzia right? And I presume you're familiar with her beloved beau?" Kado asked, the boy beside her nibbling on a biscuit whilst he kept his eyes on Marcie. In particular the space just above her head where the halo would normally appear on a human figure. "Well, we all took a little trip to our shared roots at an orphange we all once stayed at." she explained, Tsune wincing at the word orphanage.
"During our little reunion tour of the place, it came under attack and went up in flames. Whilst the lovebirds did their thing, I worked on getting as many of the children out as I could." Kado said, keeping the details of what happened at Saint Marta's as unincriminating as she possibly could. She had no idea how secure Marcie's place was, nor did she underestimate that the green haired woman had audio and video recording devices hidden somewhere in here for her own insurance.
They may have slept together, but that didn't mean she entirely trusted the woman. At least not enough to allow some casual blackmail. "Thanks to a friend, most of the children have managed to find new safe locations that will be able to help them work through the trauma they suffered there. All except this little one, who has stuck next to me like a limpet since that night." she said affectionately, ruffling Tsune's hair a little.
"Now, given the circumstances I am more than happy to look after and care for him." Kado mused. "The issue of course, is that any and all documentation about him went up in smoke along with the orphanage..." she said, before gesturing towards Marcie. "And we both know how much the government loves its bureaucracy and paperwork, as well as how long that would take. Especially with trying to locate any existing records on the boy." the red head said with an exasperated sigh.
"So... I was wondering if you would be able to expedite the process as it were?" Kado inquired with a smirk.

The manager did wince a little at the spilled drink, but just more because she knew that was her problem now once she finished guiding them. The brief wince was however replaced with a warm smile as she guided the two towards the back rooms, a brief hallway behind the counter with a door that seemed to lead to a break room, a bathroom, one upstairs presumably to where they stored things, and of course Marceline’s own office at the back of the hall. She liked being on the ground floor when she worked. She didn’t get those people who had to be on the highest floor of the tallest buildings. Blegh. Wasted time getting up and down…
When introductions were made so to speak Marcie would recline in her chair, her fingertips pressing together, looking fairly lax all things considered. Another thing she didn’t get. Powerful people tried to look all formal and proper, offer the people in the room with them the upmost respect but… c’mon. She had power, she wasn’t going to waste it. Sure she was far from Ishtar’s level but she was more than well to do for herself and in situations like this where it was clear someone wanted something from her she felt she had the luxury to relax and kick back. Ultimately the same words were going to be said and the same deals were going to be struck. Why get all hoity toity about it.
“Oh you know I’ve always been a bit of a cat person…~” She chimed playfully, with a devious smirk that hopefully reminded Kado of the fun costumes Marcie had employed during their night with Sonya. She felt she may have had the right to be a smidge insulted that the other woman was only coming to her when she needed something from her but… ah well, she had to admit she liked doing her job all the same. It was a fun one.~
As Kado informed her of the events leading to their meeting today. Marcie smirked a little as she realized she was trying to be coy about the details. “Oh yes… poor Luzia… I hear she got hurt real bad in that whole mess… I’m glad to see my floral delight seemed to get out without a scratch…” She glanced to the young one in attendance with them. “… you got a child, but not a scratch at least.~” She shrugged casually at what she considered a plauyful joke, giggling in a way that made her shoulder bounce in time with her.
“Soooooo…” As things seemed to be piecing together, Marceline joined her hands, her two index fingers tapping against her lips as she pretended to think on the situation. Call it dramatic, or just mearly ‘playful effect’ as it where.~ She glanced back across to Kado as she leaned back over the desk on her elbows, cheeks in her raised hands. “If I’m following right you want me to use my ‘special charms’ so to speak to help little…” She looked to the child. “… Timmy? You look like a timmy.” She responded before idly returning her focus to Kado. She hoped that came off playful but… well, she could have fun with kids, she just wasn’t the type to keep them around, not that she’d say that out loud, especially right now.
“You want me to use my charms to help little Timmy… let’s say blend into the system so to speak, look like those documents never disappeared and… heck, why don’t we even change a few details while we’re at it. Am I getting the gist about right?~”

Kado smirked at Marceline's remark about being a cat person. "Funny, I got the impression you were more into bunny rabbits." she quipped back. She was almost certain that Sonya still had the ears, assuming Atalanta managed to get to them along with the rest of their accouterments before her silver-haired employer could.
The red head looked over at Tsune, who was still looking up at Marcie in childish awe and smiled softly. "Wasn't exactly part of the plan... But here he is." she mused, almost wistfully. She returned her focus to the green haired woman, whom Kado could tell was enjoying herself with this situation. A little too much maybe in her opinion, but then again Marcie was probably entitled to a little theatricality since they hadn't really seen each other since that day.
"Tsune." Kado said, correcting her on the boys name. Tsune for his part turned crimson as Marcie's focus centered on him, and he wriggled in his seat a little bit flustered at the attention. Kado perked an eyebrow, rolling her eyes as she recognised the puppy crush that was forming in her young charges heart towards Marcie.
"She may have an angel's halo, but she's every inch a devil." the red head said softly to Tsune, who's cheeks grew even redder and he tried to bury his head into his knees. A long fluffy orange tail with a white tip floofed out from the base of his spine and began to curl around him like a blanket, revealing his Quirk to a degree to Marceline.
Kado chuckled and shook her head before looking back to Marcie, nodding at her summary of the situation. "That would be about the gist of it yes dear." she replied. "And I am sorry for not having made the time to visit you and your cafes sooner." Kado began, figuring probably it was a good idea to get a bit of good will laid down.
"Between all these new business that have been cropping up recently, which in turn means trying to arrange decór deals with them, and making sure Luzia didn't try anything stupid with her medications, aaand taking care of this one... Well, you're not the only one I've been neglecting to say the least I'm afraid..." she admitted, deciding to give the green-haired woman some ammunition to use if she so chose to go down that route.

Marcie's brow rose a fraction of an inch as she was teased for her love of specific 'animals' by her partner across the desk, leaning across it as her halo formed above her hand, swirling it around her finger. In truth the halo wasn't solid so she was more manipulating it in time with her hand rather than catching it against her finger, buuuuut it was a playful enough image to pull off, her cheek resting in her free hand. "Oh I wouldn't tease me about that... company or not I certainly don't mind giving myself a bunny to play with...~" She freed the other fingers of her spinning hand, the halo disappearing in the same single motion.
Of course she wasn't about to embaress her infront of her company today unless she truly pushed her buttons the wrong... or right way as it were.~ She rested her chin on the back of her hands as she leaned across the desk, noting how the child wasn't really part of the original plan but somehow doubting that. Of all the people she was aware of taking part in that fire Kado was by far one of the most sane. She doubted she was lacking in empathy either especially with the evidence before her... She was a kind, but practical soul in Marcie's eyes. She could be friendly, open, reasonable... but she'd seen enough of the dark side of the world to be cutthroat when called for. That was Marcie's initial impressions at least...
"Tsune it is then. I still think they look like a Timmy but I'll respect that." She teased with a flash of a grin, but definitely calming down a little despite her words. She rested back into her chair as she thought more about the business at hand now, drumming her fingers against the wooden desk. Marcie wasn't entirely oblivious to those shy eyes either, smirking softly as she realized what must be going through the child's head but saying little of it. "Bare Kado's warning in mind... though to be fair I can be whatever I like.~" She snapped her fingers, her halo appearing. "An angel...~" The halo lowered over her head, two red horns forming through her hair. "A devil or-" She rose it again, and two fluffy white ears now seemed to peer up through her green lockes, hoping to put the child at ease after noticing their own quirk. "A kitty cat.~" She chimed, winking playfully before her halo finally disappeared, keeping the kitty ears on. They subtly moved as she did, definitely not real but she'd been getting better at making them appear to be so.
Marcie dismissed Kados apology with a soft wave. "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll make it up to me. Besides I have a project coming up soon I could use your keen, decorative eye for, so we can just say this is an 'I owe you' one for when that comes around... though, I certainly wouldn't mind more social visits from my favorite red head...~"
Clearing her throat, she shook her hair back out of her eyes and thought for a moment on the task at hand. Faking documents was childsplay for her but it did take research. She already had stored scans of passports and birth certificates, but adoption papers, school papers perhaps to evidence they'd stayed with certain people in certain area, perhaps some medical papers... they were things she'd need Eduardo's help to aquire copies of perhaps so she could make her own copies and edit them accordingly. "I can certainly do what your looking for but it won't be an instant process..." She clapped her hands together with a sudden smile. "A deadline.~ That will do me well!~ Help motivate me... how quickly would you need such items? I can produce you a spare passport and a spare birth certificate before you leave today, but more back up documentation will take me time so... how long do you give me?~ Give me some motivation.~" She teased with a playful smirk. Kado's earlier thoughts were right, she maybe shouldn't treat this like such a game, but her world of crime involve far less personal risk than the other villains, so it was easy to treat things so playfully.

At Marcie's "threat" of making herself a bunny to play with here and now in spite of a child being present, Kado gave a playful sigh and rolled her eyes as she held up her hands in mock surrender. "I'll behave, I'll behave." she said.
Knowing the green haired woman's appetites, if she had indeed put Kado into a bunny suit then and there, there was very little chance of her getting her current clothes back until after some "proper apologising" had been taken care of. Which could take a while, and probably a few more costume changes if last times efforts were to be recalled correctly.
The red head gave an amused snort when the green haired woman played along with her warning to the young boy, although the kitty ears definitely got a raised eyebrow from her, whilst Tsune regarded them with some mixture of confusion and awe. Especially if the mild wagging of his tail were to be believed.
The matter of business returned to the fore however as Marcie mentioned a decorative project in the works that she could use Kado's eye on. "Oh? Business or pleasure? Because if its to try and outdo Sonya's penthouse with your own, that could prove quite challenging. Even with both of us working on it together." she said with a chuckle.
Saying it would be a challenge was an understatement given the sheer size and scale of Sonya's place compared to anyone elses. Then again, she was the CEO of a vast company compared to both women here who weren't quite in that league of wealth. At least not legally.
And now the final part of the deal. The timeframe. "I didn't think even with your conjuring abilities it would be as easy as snapping your fingers." Kado admitted, unable to resist poking just a little bit of fun towards Marcie's Quirk in relation to her forgery abilities. She did rub her chin in thought though about how soon she would require these documents. "Ideally sooner rather than later..." the red head mused. "I think we can get away with two to three weeks though before anyone starts knocking on any doors with warrants."

Marcie shot Kado a brief smirk. They hadn't really gotten much of an intimate experience of one another since their first night together and while Marcie definitely did enjoy her company and her bold nature, her willingness to play along with her jokes, she felt the two definitely did need to get to know eachother more. While Marceline was a teasing, playful creature, she felt she'd surprise Kado in the fact she was a lot less... voracious, then their shared silver haired companion. As much as Marcie would love to put those long, luscious legs and that perky frame back in a bunny suit... there was little more to it. She liked to admire and play with someone, less so than... pin them down, etc, etc~
"I'm sure you will.~" She briefly returned, glancing to the child who seemed to be stunned by the feline ears now atop her head. As her costumes had gotten more elaborate, she'd managed to line the ears with small fibres that responded to the flexing motions of muscles in her scalp, letting them twitch and sway like a real cats, hopefully amusing the young child in their company before returning her attention to Kado in full.
"As far as my project goes it's a mostly need to know basis, but it's certainly both. I..." She looked to the child, thinking carefully about whether she should share but... ah what the hell.~ They were going to be able to squeal about fake documents so she was already at risk with them being here. "I plan on building a casino and... well you know how fancy those places can look in movies or in vegas. I was thinking about maybe getting your eye in helping me decorate, maybe get a few flower themed areas to help keep you in business with a constant supply of fresh roses. Maybe even build a hotel around it... I mean I never INTENDED To beat Sonya but, well, if I own a whole hotel what does one measly pent house compare." She stuck the tip of her tongue out playfully, truly having never meant to compete with Sonya but considering she could consider that the icing on top now.
She took the deadline she was given for her task and returned a firm nod. "2 weeks it is then. Don't worry, I have plans in mind already to get what I need, but sit tight, I'm going to go upstairs and I'll be back with what i need to give you some temporary ID to work with in the meantime." She stood up from her chair and started to round the table, snapping her fingers so her halo appeared and got rid of the kitty ears. She couldn't have her other employees seeing them afterall. Before she left however she did stop with her hand on the door, thinking to ask. "Oh, I might be gone a moment or so while I look for them, want me to ask my staff for a top up? Tea? Coffee? Maybe a slice of cake for the little one?~"
