Sibling Rivalry

[Luigi Largo]

((June 12, Largo Mansion, closed to Luigi ,Pavi, and Amber))

Luigi sat in the dining room, alone, he was in a bad mood (as usual). The Geneterns and other servants stayed out of his way he had already killed four of them. (One for not getting out of his way fast enough, one for bringing him coffee that was to cold, one for bringing him coffee that was to hot, and one just because he could.)

The elder Largo's mood had worsened the last couple of days ever since the last fight he had with his brother. It wasn't so much as the fight it's self that had gotten to Luigi the brothers fought like clockwork. But this time had been different, Pavi had fought back.

And what's worse since then Pavi seemed very happy since that day. Probably something to do with his vampire whore no doubt. It occurred to Luigi that ever since his brother had met Mina not only did he seem happier, but also more confident and braver (or foolish depending on who you asked). And Luigi hated it. And Luigi hated Mina even more for causing all these changes in his brother, for not being afraid of him, and for making his brother act so unlike himself.

Pavi even had been having less sex with the Geneterns who flocked around him, much to Luigi's surprise, apparently to save all his energy for the vampriess. It disgusted Luigi that his brother would let the woman feed from him, it was perverted even by his standards. Just thinking about it put the Largo off his food.

[Pavi Largo]

Pavi , meanwhile, was in apparently much better spirits than his brother, and proved so by strolling nonchalantly into the dining room, blissfully unaware of the bad mood Luigi was in. A smile was on his face, which was not uncommon, but it did seem a tad bit out of place, considering that he was in the same room as Luigi, which normally led him to frown if not all-out leave. However, he was in a good mood today...as he seemed to be most of the time lately, and couldn't bring himself to act any differently than he felt, even in front of Luigi.

He had Mina to blame for it, he supposed. The vampiress had led him into a much brighter perspective of thinking since his encounter with her the other day. Even when Luigi had made his usual backhanded comments towards Pavi, the younger Largo had shrugged them off, far too concerned with his own affairs. Which at the moment consisted of visiting Mina, preparing himself to meet up with Mina, and just generally thinking about her.

He was vaguely aware of Luigi's irritation with his new behavior, even as he walked so confidently into the room. But why should he be concerned with what Luigi had to say about it? What he chose to do with his spare time was his own business. And even though Pavi knew that this was a bit far-fetched and unlikely to be the case for a celebrity of his calabre, he was content with lying to himself until the situation called for him to act differently.

"Bongiorno, fratello," Pavi smiled, giving Luigi a small wave as he took his seat at the opposite end of the dining room table. There was a newspaper in his place, which he picked up to thumb through a bit carelessly, still smiling as he skimmed over the articles. A few reported murders, robberies, economic downfalls...lovely reading material. Setting the paper aside, Pavi looked back up at his older brother, as though he normally engaged in friendly conversation with the other. "How are-a you?"

[Luigi Largo]

Luigi replied by throwing a knife at Pavi, intending to scare his brother away or to hopefully damage the mask he was wearing at the moment.

"Shut the fuck up you little freak!" Luigi hissed through his teeth glaring daggers at Pavi. It irritated him even more that Pavi was spending more and more time around the circus than at home or in the office. Mostly because it was Luigi who had to pick up all of Pavi's missed work. Which pissed Amber the fuck off, meaning he never heard the end of it.

"You better not fucking think about seeing that vamp bitch today. You've been lagging to fucking much and I'm tired of cleaning up after you! Do it your own fucking self for once!'

[Pavi Largo]

Pavi ducked just in time as Luigi tossed the knife in his direction, the blade instead catching the the wood of the tall back of the chair Pavi had been sitting in. The younger Largo looked up in surprise, with a wounded expression. It wasn't uncommon for Luigi to explode into fits at random. In fact, it was pretty much all he ever did in terms of interacting with Pavi. But Pavi had been so distracted by his own good mood, that he hadn't expected such a reaction from the older Largo.

Narrowing his eyes in a slight frown, Pavi stood from the chair, brushing himself off as his straightened up. "Well you could have-a just asked," he muttered, rolling his eyes and walking towards the doorway. "I will be seeing Mina today, if that's-a what you're so upset about. I'll find time to do the work when I please."

[Luigi Largo]

"And when will that be exactly?" Luigi sneered. "The last time you did any work around here was months ago, before you met your whore. If she's such a burden to GeneCo prehapse we should just get rid of her since she's distracting you so much. The company comes first, Pavi. And I'm sure Amber would agree."

Of course Amber would agree, as she was the head of GeneCo now and had the most to lose if they screwed anything up. Plus they all had something to prove to themselves and their dead father that they were capable.
"Every time you spend time with her you're to worn out for anything else, including work. Which makes her bad for business, meaning she's bad for us. Get rid of her or keep up with your duties."

[Amber Sweet]

"What the fuck are you two fighting about now?" Amber said bursting into the room unannounced. Her face newly done so that her lips were fuller. Her hair was done up in a fancy bun with plenty of curls sticking out. Her outfit was a baby blue pinstripe sute with white pinstripes and pearl buttons.

She turned to Pavi then raising an eyebrow at him.
"And why haven't I seen you around the office lately? Last time I checked you were supposed to be helping me run GeneCo. I'd think you'd want to keep your position of wealth and power."

[Luigi Largo]

The eldest Largo winced when their sister came into the room, her voice unusually screechy when she was angry. He had always wondered why she ever thought she could be a singer with such a ugly voice.

"Because he's to busy fucking circus freaks." Luigi said casually answering Amber's question for Pavi then taking a sip of coffee before continuing."Ever since we partnered up with the Dark Woods Circus he's spent pretty much every single day fucking this or that act. And it's turned out our fratello has even more unusual sexual tastes than either of us thought."

He gave a cruel smirk to Pavi, showing most of his teeth. Ready to give the crushing blow to his narcissistic brothers ego.
"Turns out Pavi likes to be eaten, in more ways than one."

[Amber Sweet]

Amber raised an eyebrow at that, though she really wasn't all that shocked about Pavi's sexual preferences. After living with her brothers for twenty five years absolutely nothing they did could ever,ever honestly shock her. Though in all honesty she really didn't want to know all that much about either brothers sex life either.

"Whatever," She said waving it off irritably, "I really, really don't give a fuck who Pavi fucks. Just so long as it doesn't interfere with business and GeneCo. Which is why I am here, since you two ran off here I've been having to do most, if not all, the paper work, meetings, social functions, and brainstorming sessions. And it's been almost a month since either of you were back in the tower. So I figured if you weren't going to come home I was going to bring home, myself and the family business, here."

[Pavi Largo]

Pavi's face heated beneath his mask, as he looked at both Luigi and Amber with narrowed eyes. Once again he was caught in the middle of the two of them, with each of them turning on him for their own reasons. While he had been slagging off on his work lately, Pavi felt it a bit unfair for the two of them to be angry with him for it. After all, whenever he did do his work, at least one of them would criticize him about this or that. He just wasn't much of a businessman, he supposed.

And then there was Luigi. His constant remarks about Mina set Pavi off nearly every time, though the younger Largo tried his best to conceal it for the sheer sake of wishing to keep his time spent at the circus a secret. But now, considering the fact that Luigi had practically spilled out his entire secret to their sister(who didn't even seemed to care, thankfully), Pavi figured he may as well make a retort back for once.

"And-a what have you been-a doing at-a the circus, brother?" Pavi spat, forcing a sarcastic smile. "Aside-a from getting off to several of-a the acts being beaten for-a show. Amber, have-a you even seen what-a they allow there?" Pavi turned to face his sister now, a more serious tone in his voice. "If-a they are-a to be our-a business partners, then-a we should at least-a know what-a their doing on-a their own time. It's-a horrible, truly disgustoso. Even-a Papa was not-a so cruel."

Perhaps now, if he were to say the right things at the right time, he could at least make his absence from the tower seem less unprofessional than it actually was...that is, if he could manage to convince Amber that he cared more for the acts in general than one in particular.

[Amber Sweet]

Amber rolled her eyes at Pavi and Luigi's little fight, they were always at each others throats. Even as kids, if they weren't arguing about this or that, they'd start belittling one another or talking about each other behind their backs to her.

She raised an eyebrow at Pavi's tone. And his concern for the acts was new to, in all her twenty-five years Amber had never known Pavi to care about anyone other than himself. (Not including their mother, who Amber never met.)

"Since when do you care about other people Pavi? Especially when it comes to GeneCo." She paused and took a seat. "As for what they do on their own time, you have a point though. I don't care what they do, or who they do it to. But if word gets out that we're, ignoring some of the extreme behavior. It could be bad for business, and bad for us."

[Luigi Largo]

"And that's what they're there for." Luigi shot back glaring at Pavi. "And at least I know better than to fucking stick my dick in any of them. Who knows what diseases they have? You're lucky your vamp whore hasn't bitten off your dick..." He paused giving Pavi a sadistic smirk. "Yet."

He stayed silent as Amber spoke, a litte disappointed that she wasn't chewing Pavi out for neglecting his work.
"Since he started fucking one of the circus freaks on a regular basis is when." Luigi laughed finishing off his coffee."Or maybe it's more than one, I don't know. All I know is he's brought the vampire here on more than one occasion, so she can fuck him and eat him."
He sneered disgustedly at that.

"I think Dad would be more disgusted by that, than anything the circus did. And who are we to tell them how to treat their property? Just so long as none of it gets out to the public I don't see any problem with what they're doing. Or who they're doing it to."

[Amber Sweet]

Amber rolled her eyes again, this was getting out of hand. She had meant for all of them to get down to business but, just like whenever her brothers were put in the same room together they had begun to fight. If Amber had a dollar for everytime her brothers got into a fight she'd have three times the amount of money than she already had.

"Enough!" She shouted finally signling that she didn't want to hear anymore of their petty fights. "Luigi, what Pavi does on his own time is his business and so long as none of it gets back to the public and reflects badly on us or GeneCo I don't see any reason at all to stop him."

She paused and then turned to Pavi.
"Although, I do wish you would reconsider who you bring into our home. A vampire, Pavi? Really? As in kills and drinks blood. Something like that could be dangerous to all of us. Be careful who you bring into the house."

[Pavi Largo]

"But what if it-a does get out-a to the public, Luigi? Then-a what will-a we do? The public is-a unhappy with-a GeneCo as it is, " Pavi spat back, ignoring once again his remark about the vampiress. Don't let him get to you, don't let him get to you...Even if what he said held an ounce of truth. His father would be disgusted...as he'd always been with him, with all three of them.

But what did he care for their father's opinion? Rotti Largo was six feet under, and he'd never cared for Pavi regardless. He shouldn't, and didn't, care how disgusted their father would be. At least, that was what he told himself.

Amber, however, was a different story. He'd always had mixed feelings towards both of his siblings, and still cared, at least a little, what they thought of him, Amber obviously more than Luigi. And her remark left a bit of a sting, and Pavi flinched a bit before turning to look at her. Mustering up his courage once again, he answered back, though less harshly than he had to Luigi.

"Amber, sorellina, please; she is not-a dangerous to any of us...so long as-a none of us act dangerously to-a her. She's a person, sister. There were-a all people before, and now...have-a you ever even been-a to see the circus, sister? The things she's-a been through, Amber, are indescribable. I bring-a her here to give her a bit of a relief from all of-a that. Don't-a you understand, tesora? That is why I bring-a her here," Pavi said, an almost pleading tone to his voice. He looked her dead in the eye as he said this, the tone in his voice reflecting in the way he looked at her. He only hoped that she would understand, unlike Luigi...and wouldn't judge him just as harshly as their brother.

[Amber Sweet]

"And since when do you care about other peoples pain, Pavi?" Amber asked raising an eyebrow at the concern in Pavi's eyes and voice. It was rather ironic, and hypocritical in Ambers opinion, that Pavi was speaking of relieving the circus casts pain when he was wearing the face of a freshly killed (and possibly raped) Genetern.

"Whatever, you can bring her here just keep her under control. And make sure she doesn't kill anyone important, is that understood. As for the circus its self, if anything bad does come up I don't see why we couldn't just smooth it all over with some good P.R. and plenty of money. And if that doesn't work, GeneCo could just buy it and run it the way we think would be best."

[Luigi Largo]

Luigi scowled at Pavi and Amber a bit, the two of them were always close. So it was pretty obvious that she would take Pavi's side, despite the fact that Amber felt the same way he did about the circus and how they did business. Which was so fucking like Amber it wasn't even funny. She would side with anyone if she liked them.

However when Amber mentioned something about buying the circus and running it their way the wheels in Luigi's head started turning. If he controled the circus, he could control how Mina was or wasn't treated. And then he could possibly control Pavi, since it was obvious (to him at least) that

"Like Amber said," He said carefully unfolding his newspaper carefully and flipping to the international news section. Trying to keep the smile from spreading on his face at his absolutely brilliant idea.
"We can always buy good P.R. to the circus. Make something up about those people being born with genetic defect and mutations that even GenCo can't fix. And the circus, and by default GeneCo, giving them shelter, food, protection, and a job. Those peasents will eat anything up if you provide enough 'proof'."
