((ooc: Takes place on February 25th, two days after Repo Man's Daughter:Found. Open to all Largos and Shilo's tutor.))
As Puck was led into the Largo household, he couldn't help but feel a small wave of unease washing over him. First of all, simply getting in had been a hassle in itself, as he'd been forced to ride in the Largos' personal limousine, a vehicle which he'd never been particularly fond of. Next, he'd been ushered in by two particularly well-built guards, each about a head taller than him, and this was just simply getting in through the front door.
After he'd been brought inside, Puck found himself suddenly being pulled and groped into one of the elevators by two exceedingly flirtatious Genterns. Which, in all honesty, had been a rather pleasant part of the ordeal, but Puck still couldn't find himself completely at ease in a house such as this. Especially when considering the fact that he had two late organ payments to catch up on.
When he'd been led into the elevator, things had just gotten worse from then on...well, depending on how you looked at the word "worse," anyway. The next ten floors were little more than a rather sudden and unexpected groping session, to which Puck had no idea how to react. It wasn't that he didn't appreciate the contact; he just felt very uncomfortable with doing such activities in his employer's home. Especially when he was coming to do something as innocent as giving a teenager a vocal lesson.
When they'd reached the destined floor, however, the Gentern contact immediately stopped, because as soon as they stopped the elevator doors opened to reveal Paviche Largo, waiting with a smirk on his newly-cut face. The Genterns flocked to him like flies to a doughnut, automatically giving him the same treatment as they'd given Puck seconds ago. The opera singer gave a brief look of surprise, but quickly shook his head, stepping out to shake the other's hand.
Pavi, however, had other ideas, and momentarily ignored his female attention to kiss the man on each cheek, grinning before he said, "Ciao, bello! It's-a so nice to see you!"
After the two exchanged "pleasantries," which consisted of more groping from Pavi and uncomfortable expressions from Puck, they headed for their rehearsal room, which was quite large and had been used by Mag herself.
"When will she be here?" Puck asked, raising an eyebrow at the empty room.
"Soon. Helga is-a bringing her," Pavi replied, taking a seat at the edge of the room, which consisted of lots of recording equipment, tiled flooring, a tall ceiling, and a piano. Puck stared at him for a moment, beginning to dread his next question before it came out of his mouth.
"Don't tell me. You're staying to watch, aren't you?"
"Si. Everyone is, as-a far as I know," Pavi smirked. "So, you'd-a better be as-a good as I say you are. Wouldn't want-a to disappoint-a the family, no?"
Puck gave a small gulp, nodding after a few minutes. This was no doubt going to be the longest rehearsal day of his life.

Vittoria was the first Largo to arrive, however she was hoping for some "alone time" with her favorite sibling before the other family members arrived. And as short as that would possibly be it was still enough for Vittoria. She decided to dress up a bit, or rather their mother decided that she should dress up as they would be meeting puck
So Vittoria put on a pale blue sleeveless "Lolita" dress that showed enough of her leg, but not enough to be 'scandalous'. She completed the look with white floral hose, matching shoes and pale aquamarine teardrop shaped studs. She wore her hair down and parted at the left a tiny gold barrette holding her hair back. On her way out the door she spritzed on a bit of perfume that smelled of violet and white rose.
When Vittoria opened the door to the studio however she had to suppress a deep scowl at the blond man in the same room as Pavi. She knew who he was of course, almost everyone did, Puck Goodfellow GeneCo's number one opera star. And just like everyone else knew, Puck had had more than one "private show" with Pavi.
And that alone made Vittoria want to set the man on fire, though her face showed nothing of what she was feeling. As usual. She walked into the room as if she owned it. "Buonasera, fratellone." She greeted Pavi first as always showing her preference toward him above all others. She then turned her head and looked at Puck. "Signore Goodfellow. It's-a pleasure to-a finally meet-a you in-a person. And-a I doubt that-a Pavi has-a said a word about-a me."

Both men turned to face the new arrival, one with a pained smile and the other with a surprised stare. Pavi stood to greet his sister, forcing a smile despite his constant discomfort with her presence in the room. He was grateful for Puck being there currently, as Vittoria tended to behave herself in the presence of others.
Puck, on the other hand, was suddenly less uncomfortable than he'd been before the girl's appearance, surprisingly enough. Of course, he didn't know of the girl's inner sadistic tendencies, and if he had he most likely would have been even more uncomfortable here than he'd been before. He immediately found the girl quite attractive, having only seen her before in pictures and magazines. She seemed almost shy…a quality Puck found interesting.
"On the contrary," Puck smirked, raising an eyebrow and holding out his hand for the girl to shake. "Your brother's told me quite a lot about you, Ms. Largo. It's nice to meet you as well. But he didn't tell me just how attractive you were."
At this remark, Pavi turned sharply to face Puck, his brain suddenly clicking into an idea. Normally, such a remark would anger the older Largo, but as it was from Puck, Pavi believed that instead of a problem, he might have a solution. Putting his hands on Vittoria's shoulders, Pavi smiled more broadly now, pushing her gently forward and towards Puck.
"Si, did I not-a tell you how molto bella she is, Puck?" Pavi asked, looking down at his sister with an encouraging grin.

"I-a hope what-a he told you were-a all good things." Vittoria said giving her brother a small look as she shook Pucks hand.
Vittoria tensed up once she noticed Pucks eyes on her and that faint smile on his lips. A look she had seen many men (and a few women) giving her when she was in public. She didn't like it, she didn't like the amorus attention from lesser people, lesser people being non-Largos. Vittoria found most (if not all) people outside her family boring, stupid, and weak. Not to mention they usually found her disturbing and terrifying.
But when Pavi agreed with him and put an arm around her shoulder she felt the tinest blush spread across her cheeks. She loved when Pavi got close to her, it made her feel...excited, nervous, and happy all at the same time. Something no other person on earth could make her feel.
"Fratello, you-a are to kind," She said shyly casting her eyes downward. "You know-a how your-a flattery affects your-a sorellina."

Puck saw the girl's blush, and oblivious to the fact that it was Pavi who'd caused the reaction, gave the younger girl a charismatic smirk. Folding his arms across his chest, he glanced up at Pavi, who nodded with encouragement at the other. Unfortunately, Pavi did know that he'd been the one to cause her reaction, and as usual, he was uncomfortable with it.
Thankfully, Pavi knew that he could trust Puck around his sister, for the most part, and he needed someone to try and distract his sister from he and his siblings. And, as picking a lady would no doubt lead to complications with their mother, Puck had been chosen, as he was one of the few people that Pavi considered a "friend"…or something like it. Plus, he was attractive, entertaining, and a good employee of GeneCo.
And he clearly showed an interest in the girl, judging by the way he seemed interested in talking with her and where his eyes seemed to be falling. In fact, without any prompting from Pavi, Puck asked with what sounded like true interest(though more than likely wasn't), "So…do you sing, Ms. Largo? With a pretty face like that, I'm surprised your family hasn't tried using you for the new voice of GeneCo."

"I-a don't really like attention." Vittoria said simply. That was true Vittoira didn't enjoy having people watching her if only because it made it that much harder to cover up her misdeeds, and Vittoria didn't much like people period.
Unless of course if they were her family. Them she could stand, and it was their opinions that were what really mattered to the girl. Vittoria took a small step back, so she could be closer to Pavi. Her back pressing against his front, trying to get more contact with Pavi.

Helga walked into the room first, a pistol on her hip and wearing her usual uniform of a black turtle neck, pants, and black boots. She saw that two of the Largo's were already present as was the supposed singing teacher Puck Goodfellow. Which was good enough for Helga as the room was now (relatively) safe for the New Voice of GeneCo to enter.
"Alright, Miss Wallace it's clear for entry." Helga said stepping aside for Shiloh to enter the room. But just in case Helga always kept one hand on her gun.

Shilo slowly entered the room, keeping her head down to help hide her emotionless expression. She'd done what was asked of her these past two days without resistance; what was the point, anyway? But she'd refused to eat more than what was insisted upon her, and talking had been out of the question. It was very similar to the way she'd behaved shortly after her father's death...but this time, there'd been no tears. Tears had come when Nathan died because she'd felt that she'd lost all control when it had happened. They refused to come now because she knew that she'd brought this on herself, and that she had to live with her choices.
She felt eyes begin to fall on her as she entered the room, and glanced up at the others in the room. Paviche, the second son of GeneCo, who just plain gave her the creeps; his psychotic little sister, Vittoria, who's constant emotionless stare made Shilo feel utterly uncomfortable at every turn; Helga, the only one of them whom Shilo came even close to trusting, if only for the fact that she wasn't a Largo; and lastly, her new tutor, Puck Goodfellow. Shilo's eyes widened slightly when she saw him, immediately remembering the man from that Zydrate run a month or so ago. His eyes widened as well when he saw her, but his was for another reason. He'd already known who he was tutoring today; what had surprised him was the fact that the girl seemed like a completely different person than the dealer he'd met what felt like ages ago. She seemed far less assertive than before; on the contrary, she appeared to have fallen in complete and utter submission to her situation. He could see it in her eyes.
Pavi, meanwhile, seized the chance to pull away from Vittoria, pulling Shilo further into the room with a smile. "There-a she is!" He said enthusiastically. "Shilo, this is-a your new tutor, Puck. I'm-a sure you've-a seen him perform in-a the opera, no?" Shilo nodded, remaining silent as she looked up at Puck. The two men glanced at one another, before Pavi said uncertainly, "Well...I'm-a sure you'll-a warm up to him."

"Yes." Vittoria thought glancing at Puck and Shiloh together. Saying nothing, as usual, just observing and taking in what was going on around her. "That way you'll be busy with Puck and you'll have to leave my brothers alone!"
As she looked at the two of them together, and their reactions Vittoria felt a familiar sensation of deja vu. She searched her memory for where exactly she had seen the two of them together. Then it came to her.
She had encountered both Shiloh and Puck for the very first time together when she was snooping around an alleyway hoping to catch a glimpse at her sister. Only to run into the Grave Robber his assistant and a Z'd up and passed out Puck. Of course Puck had been to high to even look at her and Shiloh hadn't known who she was then.
But she remembered them well enough, and she wondered if she could use that encounter to her advantage. A opera singer hooked on street grade Z could prove a valuable asset for information. And an ex-Z dealer was at hand as well. "Fate's funny that way..." Vittoria thought to herself taking a seat. She crossed her legs and smoothed her skirt down but ensured that plenty of leg showed.
Just in case Pavi was interested.

Amber walked into the room not long after Shiloh and right behind her was her mother. Amber was wearing her 'business suit' of a short pinstriped skirt and jacket coupled with a very low cut ruffled shirt. On her legs were black silk stockings held in place with a lace garters and shiny black pumps completed the outfit.
"It's good to see you again, Puck." Amber said walking forward, ignoring both Shiloh and Pavi, and shook the opera singers hands. "I hope you'll be able to turn this little girl into GeneCo's next big star."
Lucretzia said nothing she stood behind Amber wearing a black V neck mermaid dress with intercet beading with black rhinestones on the bodice. She gave Puck a critical look, unsure what to think of him. She read enough to know that he was a flirt and a play boy...and she saw the way he'd been looking at Vittoria before she came into the room.
She'd have to ensure that Mr. Goodfellow didn't have any ill intentions towards her youngest daughter.

Puck smiled as Amber shook his hand, nodding quickly. In truth, Amber made him rather nervous to be around, for the simple fact that she was the true brains behind this whole company. But he'd act polite around her, and wouldn't let his uneasiness show around any of them, if only for the fact that showing fear would probably do him more harm than good. GeneCo didn't like employing cowards, even if they enjoyed submission from their workers.
Glancing behind Amber, Puck raised an eyebrow at the sight of their mother, Lucretzia Largo, standing behind them. She was rather attractive, even more so in person. Extending a hand in her direction as well, Puck gave a charming smile, and said pleasantly, "Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Largo. I don't believe I've had the pleasure of making your acquaintance."
Suddenly, Puck shot a look at the other, momentarily distracted from his previous task of trying to ignore just how much leg Vittoria's dress seemed to be showing off. He could deal with Puck's flirting with his sisters, could even encourage it in Vittoria's case, but in the case of his mother, he wouldn't stand to watch it. Their mother was theirs, and no one else's. Especially not some flirtatious opera singer kept around for little more than sex and entertainment.
"Don't-a you think we'd-a better get started, Amber?" Pavi asked, a bit apprehensively as he moved to stand beside his mother. He put an arm around her shoulder, giving Puck a stern looked, before glancing between Amber and Shilo. "Or are we waiting for-a Luigi to hear-a her?"

"If you're waiting for me to begin, you might as well stop waiting." Luigi said coming in through the door, coffee cup in hand. He had been late because some stupid Genetern had not only bumped into him but dropped a still beating heart on his shirt front.
So he had to take care of her (stabbing of course) and change his shirt and pants, as well as taking a quick shower, before showing up. But he was glad he did, if only because Shiloh was looking particularly lovely today. But before he could leer any further at the girl he realized that his mother was in the room and instantly he went to great her with a peck on her cheek.
"So..did I miss anything intresting?" He asked. "No," Vittoria said in a bored tone. Though inwardly seething with rage. "Puck and-a Mama were-a just getting introduced. That's-a all."
Vittoria had also noticed Puck flirting with her mother, and like Pavi she was not going to let that happen. No man was going to take her mother away from her, she'd kill him before that happened.

Puck suppressed another gulp at the look in Pavi's eyes, slowly stepping back away from their mother and towards Shilo. Obviously, his limit had been reached. Turning his attention back to the Wallace girl with a forced smile to conceal his inner uncomfortable feelings, he motioned for her to follow him over to the piano, which sat on an elevated platform in the middle of the room.
"Let's do a little stretching first," he suggested, stretching his arms above his head and keeping his focus on the girl. Glancing towards the Largos, he added, "Oh, you can all feel free to sit. This may take a moment. Now, Shilo." Puck looked back at the girl, who remained expressionless as she looked back at him. He tried to ignore this, and said, "I want to see how your dancing skills are as well, so we'll need to warm our muscles up a bit as well as our vocal cords."
At last, Shilo did as she was told, stretching her arms above her head. Following suit after Puck, she next bent over, and touched her toes, feeling very silly as she tried not to show too much of her legs to the people waiting behind her. Just having them in the room with her was enough to make her uncomfortable, much less having to bend over in her already short dress with them there.

Lucretzia had noticed the way Puck had been looking at her, and she felt very, very, very flattered. No one had looked at her that way in years, and even then she couldn't go on a date or anything else because she had Vittoria to take care of. But...now that Vittoria was older maybe it would be a good idea to start dating again.
With a small smile Lucretzia sat behind Shiloh and Puck to watch the girl practice. Frowning a little at the stretching.
Amber sat next to he mother, thinking less about what was in front of her and the preformance and more about her latest up coming surgery. She was thinking of getting her liver re-done, with all the wine, whisky, and other alcoholic drinks she'd been downing she'd probally need one soon enough. Not to mention a new set of lungs would do as well, if only for the zydrate that came afterwards.

Vittoria gave Shiloh and Puck a little glare from where she was sitting, if only because she knew that both of her brothers would be closely watching the girl then. "I want you gone." Vittoria thought focusing all her attention on Shiloh, though her face betrayed nothing. [/i]"No I want you more than gone, I want your entire existence to be erased, I want the very memory of Shiloh Wallace to not exist."[/i]
Luigi glanced Shiloh up and down as carefully as he could as she stretched and her skirt rose very, very, far up. He would be leering at her but his mother and deeply psychotic little sister were less than a foot away from him. And there would be no telling what would happen if either one caught him looking at Shiloh.
And honestly Luigi wasn't sure which was worse. Having his mother disappointed in him or doing something that upset and angered Vittoria.
