Rown < Sionce, please take a look at this. >
Sionce looked up from his book at the beeping sound that emitted from his computer to notify him that Trisste was speaking, and as he turned his head he pushed his glasses slowly up the bridge of his nose. The hacker in question was resting on his designated screen with his chat box opened, the cursor flashing and indicating he had much more to say than his mere sentence.
"What's up? Found something in that server we were asked to repair?"
< Something like that. Please come take a look. >
He pushed his chair over from where he'd been sitting near the window and the fading daylight back into the darkness that was his computer set-up, the only light from there casting off of the six massive screens that hung on the wall or rested against the floor.
"Alright, let's have a look then. Please run diagnostic scans on each screen, with each scan searching and decoding different bits."
All the moniters that had been black from inactivity suddenly turned on as Trisste activited several programs at once on their individual systems, lighting up the room with a blue glow that seemed to illuminate Sionce's thin frame like an aura. The sound of typing and machines whirring qwere soon to follow, filling the area with the usual melody that had been absent for only a little while due to Sionce's unusual desire to read a book he'd seen in a store the last time he was out.
"That's....strange. Trisste, what are these errors that I'm getting from the fifth and sixth scans? What are you looking for in those?"
< I set the fifth scan to look for a virus, and the sixth scan to see if perhaps this glitch could be a hacker in disguse or in formation. I think . . . >
Trisste paused in his speech as several loud beeps filled the air, causing Sionce to clasp his hands over his ears and slide his chair towards the first and second screens. Large red ERROR messages were scrolling up and down and flashing, indicating that the system may have overloaded or detected something that caused it to collapse inward.
< Sionce . . . What's going on? >
"I'm not sure...let me double check."
Quickly pulling a keyboard out and plugging it into the harddrive beneath the first screen, Scione started to type his commands into several little green boxes that popped up here and there amidst the flashing and scrolling ERRORS.
"Hm, I thought so. Trisste, start preparing to run firewall defense systems for all the hackers we have on our servers for recovery purposes, and shut down any and all programs that are running that could possibly become hacked and infected."
< . . . Aren't you being a little paranoid from an error? We get errors like this every now and them from an infected server, right? It's probably from one of our recovery units and should stop if we shut it down. >
"I hope so. I hope so." Loki Saimar Yawning as he sat staring at his computer screen, Fiach set about tidying up his desk before leaving the shop for the night. As he stood up to stretch, bells and whistles started going off. Glowering down at the computer, he watched as red alerts started flashing exclaiming "ERROR!"
Thrusting himself back into his chair, he growled as more and more alerts came up. "Why did Sionce have to set the system up to do this?!" Brows furrowed, Fiach tried everything he could think of to disarm the alarm and find the root of the problem.
As his frustration mounted, a black figure with bright blue eyes appeared in one corner of his laptop screen. The laptop made a few beeps, as the newcomer worked to gather Fiach's attention. Glancing down, Fiach's frustration reached an all new high.
"He just -had- to show up, didn't he?"
Sighing, he stared down at the laptop, "What do you want, Li'tae? I'm a little busy."
Shoulders and belly shaking as if he were snickering, Li'tae placed a hand over his mouth before recovering from his mirth.
Grimacing at the suggestion, Fiach obeyed and began shutting down the systems in the shop. Staring at the now silent computers, he couldn't help but wonder just what had happened. He must have spoken aloud, for no sooner had he raised an eyebrow and began tapping his chin in thought, than Li'tae spoke again.
Sighing, Fiach ran his fingers through his hair. He really didn't enjoy having to bother someone with his problems, and he wasn't entirely positive he wanted to brave Sionce's house. He was quite picky about cleanliness, and the possibility of new terrain that might not be up to his standards was slightly unnerving.
Scratching at his chin, Fiach stood up and stretched his long legs. Though he dreaded the thought, he really needed Sionce right now. He was the one who'd set up the system and he'd know how to fix the situation.
"...I hope he does, at least..."
Turning back to his laptop, he growled at Li'tae, "Please get the system reports from the mainframe and put them on the laptop. Sionce will likely want to examine them."
Nodding in silent agreement, Li'tae began his work of copying data as he smirked to himself.
<This could get interesting, at least.>
As the last of the files transferred, Li'tae set off a beep on the computer to get Fiach's attention.
Silent snickers followed that statement, as Li'tae disappeared from the laptop.
Slapping the laptop shut, Fiach gathered it up and placed it less than gently into his large messenger bag. Opening the door he made his way to Sionce's, grumbling to himself the entire way, his free hand fiddling with his penny whistle.
"What a way to end a long day of work!"
Agitation getting the better of him, Fiach began to play a baroque tune on his penny whistle. A little foreign sounding on the instrument, it suited his mood at the moment, so Fiach was willing to ignore the looks others shot him.
Arriving at last at Sionce's house, he laid his penny whistle back on his chest and, as pre-occupied as he was, forgot to knock and stepped inside, quickly shutting the door behind him.
Seeing the bright blue glow around Sionce, he blushed at interrupting something that was clearly important if they were using all the monitors and cleared his throat, muttering a fast apology as he glanced around the room. Rown At the sound of the door opening and the sudden flood of dusk's light into the room, Sionce lifted his head up but stopped himself from turning around before reaching his hand to the side. His fingertips gently fell on the item that he always wore but had merely taken off for the evening's read, his bunny mask, and with a quick slap onto his face and flip of his fingers it was tied and he turned around.
"How can I help....Fiach? Wh-what...what are you doing here?"
The starteled young man stood up and made his way over to the counter that seperated him from the newcomer, taking care to not step on any files that may have been knocked over at him getting up rather quickly.
"What brings you all the way out here? Did something happen at work?"
Sionce opened one of the corners of the counter and motioned for Fiach to come back into the lab area where Trisste was moving about the computers in a rather rushed manner, so busy in fatc he didn't even bother to greet the other man.
< There we go, that's the last wall. Everything set and ready to be executed should you decide so. >
Trisste stopped back on his original moniter, his eyes closed and his wings spread wide behind his body. There seemed to be a bit of data still working in and out of his proccessing system as there was a faint hum of information reading coming from the modem beneath him, and when it finally stopped clicking and humming he reopened his eyes with a sigh that didn't translate too well.
< . . . . S I G H . . . . >
"I know you may think all that work will be for naght, but I'm glad you did it anyway. Thank you Trisste, I'll take over from here."
Sionce took his usual seat and started back at typing into the many, many green boxes that were here and there, his coding moving quickly yet accurately to help out his hacker partner with the setup.
< You're welcome, and alright. >
It was then that the hacker seemed to notice Fiach's presence and the existance of another system in the room and he fluttered into a polite bow, releasing a rather high pitched and short beep.
< Greeting Fiach, what brings you here? Did Li'Tae wreck another one of your back servers and you need it repaired? If that's the case you could have just called.... >
"He's right about that, you usually just call or have your sister come out here if there's a problem at the lab. Or is it something else?" Loki Saimar Blinking a couple of times in the odd lighting, Fiach shook his head to clear it from the shock of having not knocked on the door. Inclining his head in apology, he stepped forward through the area Sionce had motioned and sidled past, his eyes on Trisste's flittering about. Licking his suddenly dry lips, he nodded slightly, "Something did happen, though I'm not sure what."
Pulling the messenger bag off his shoulder, he turned and set it down gently on the countertop. Though he'd been rough with the computer earlier, he'd rather not risk ticking Sionce off at a moment when he actually needed his knowledge. Opening the bag and removing the laptop, he opened it and pressed the button to turn it on. Watching Trisste again, as the laptop booted up, the gears in his mind started working rapidly.
"Did something happen here, too...?"
Jumping onto the counter to give himself some room to sit, he opened up the file on the laptop he'd had Li'tae place. Placing it on his lap so that both Sionce and Trisste could view the files, he tapped the air above the screen, barely catching himself from actually touching the monitor. Glancing at both Sionce and Trisste, Fiach shrugged.
"This is what happened - Adalia wasn't around and Li'tae suggested I come straight over here. ...Should I have called or waited until tomorrow, instead?"
Wincing slightly at the lack in manners, he quickly tried to cover up the wince, "There were red alerts flashing all over and the only way to shut your alarms off, was to turn the entire shop's system down. I had Li'tae transfer the information on what had happened to this laptop, and came straight over here. It didn't seem like the usual hacker stuff that we see all the time..."
Tilting his head, a slight smile flickered across his lips as he added a bit of praise and self depracation, to help ease the fact he'd just barged in on Sionce from the man's mind, "With your expertise, I thought you might be able to help me solve the problem faster than anyone else. You know how I hate messes..."
One of his hands moved to idly fiddle with the penny whistle as he watched Sionce and Trisste for their reactions and hoped that he really was just overreacting, as much as he would hate that. Rown < Sionce is being a little paranoid since the server we're repairing started to give us errors. He's had me scan all our servers, back-up servers, and general output proccessors in hopes that it's really jsut an error and not a virus. He's also had me firewall all our hackers currently being held here, so... >
Trisste's curser flew across his chat box as he 'spoke' to the pair, every now and then it pausing only to let the letters and numbers he was trying to convey fill in behind. This happened every once in a while when the systems were being heavily worn down bu multiple program use, and since they had firewalls running on EVERY item they owned it was no surprise that the text was a bit slow.
< Fiach, please hand Sionce your laptop and we'll begin a running diagnostic on what could be the problem over there. Chance are since your server sometimes runs into ours, and the versa, what happened to us here could have simply leaked over to you and can be stopped with the mere block of a certain router. >
"Trisste, if you keep talking about everything and solving it before I get a chance I might as well become obsolete, eh?"
Sionce smiled beneath his mask at the hacker that was now squatting on the screen and poking at some random files that had srpung up about his feet. The hacker seemed generally confused at the action and looked back up at his partner.
"What is it now? Did you try to load too many files earlier and they're just now opening for you? If that's the case then we probably should invest our time in more ram so this doesn't happen when we have more than ten or so programs going at once."
He turned back towards Fiach and held a bit fo wire and cable towards the man, motioning with it for the other to take it and blug it into one of his adaptar slots. If that got done then Trisste could easily take the files from there and move them onto one of the mainframes that Sionce was using...and prevent a mess on both systems.
"Can you close down those programs and reopen them later? Their data should be in them so you'll be-"
< I...don't think that's the cause. These are EMPTY files, there's nothing in them at all. Not even general binary strands to give them a centered base. >
Trisste closed his eyes for a moment and one of the files disappeared, but before it left a familar word flashed across the screen in bold black letters.
< ....Sionce, I think we're being hacked again. >
"What...?"
< And right you are, my friend <3 > Loki Saimar "Why couldn't Li'tae be this useful?"
Accepting the cords and plugging them in where they belonged, he looked up at Sionce with anticipation etched across his face. Abruptly, he noticed that neither were paying attention to him and his laptop anymore and looked up at the screen with Trisste.
"Empty files...? I thought you guys didn't really have anything that was empty."
Tilting his head in an inquiring manner, he watched as the words "And right you are, my friend." flashed across the screen.
"Did you get a new hacker or something, Sionce?"
Raising an eyebrow at the thought of not being informed about something like that, he looked over at Sionce. Slight agitation at not being able to look at Sionce's face flitted through his mind. "The easiest way to tell what a person is thinking - and I can't even see his eyes."
With a sigh, Fiach set his laptop down and hopped off the counter, moving over towards Sionce. Rown In an inadubile answer to Fiach's questions Sionce quickly jumped out of his seat and kncoked the chair backwards, uncaring as it skidded and landed against the counter, knocking over several stacks of paper in the process. His eyes, as well as the eyes of Trisste who was looking back and foth hurriedly, were glued to the screen and to the chat box where a line of text had appeared without any sign of anyone else.
"What...who the hell...is that? Trisste!"
< ...I don't know. I didn't get a hit from any of our...wait. >
The elder hacker stopped and looked down at one of the folders that rested at his feet, one of the folders that he hadn't deleted yet and now suddenly contained a massive amount of continually growing data. With a quick motion Trisste struck the file and it to open, suddenly causing all the screens save for the one that the young hacker was on to suddenly fill with the familiar word .... LIAR.
< Oh, you found me <3. I was hoping that you wouldn't have noticed me right away and we could have played more, but your security system here is really tough <3 >
A figure slowly made its way onto the screen from one of the edge, its motions lack and slow compared to the rather sprite-like movements that Trisste and many other hackers displayed.
< It's not fair that you guys are better at this than us for now. We'll have to get stronger <3 >
"Who...who are you?! How did you get on here?"
Sionce looked up at the approaching hacker who was only a few inches away from Trisste and leering at the older elder with his different eyes.
< Me? My name's Tsuki, it's nice to see you again .... Sionce <3 > Loki Saimar Watching Sionce have his momentary freak out, Fiach quickly doubled back to the counter and hopped onto it once more.
"I think I'll just...wait over here. Where I'm not likely to get jumped on."
Eying the mess that had been made, his hands twitched slightly as he wanted nothing more than to clean it up. Seeing the word "LIAR" light up the screens and the entrance of a new hacker, though, Fiach realized clean-up would have to wait. At least for the moment.
"So...then you didn't get a new hacker."
Sighing, he glared up at the newcomer and wondered just why Sionce was being targeted so specifically. As he scratched at his chin in thought, Fiach realized that it was more that the hackers had been looking for someone to test themselves on and had stumbled upon Sionce's system.
"What better way to see who is strongest, than test yourself against other systems? How many systems have they destroyed, with this game?"
Frowning, Fiach idly tapped the countertop as he thought.
"What exactly is the purpose of this mess, anyway?"
Blushing, Fiach realized he'd spoke that last thought aloud and ducked his head slightly. He wasn't used to making so many mistakes in one night regarding his manners.
"From now on, I definitely wait for Adalia to come in and send her on errands." Rown < Of, if it isn't Mr. Fiach too <3. It's nice to see you again as well <3. >
Tsuki bowed once more as he directed his comments towards the man on the counter, and after the bow was complete he turned his attention back towards the slightly shocked Trisste and the more than annoyed Sionce.
< You know I'm glad that you did find me before you deleted me though, since I'm pretty sure that my virus wouldn't have been very nice to play with <3. >
< ... Why are you messing with us? Surely you've got better things to do than this. >
Trisste was backing away from Tsuki as he spoke, trying to put some distance between the pair even though he only had one screen and no other open servers to jump onto. In their haste to prevent anything from spredding, Sionce and Trisste had also managed to trap themselves in this situation. At least their data could be safe at this rate...but at what cost for Trisste?
< If you want a challange or someone who'll play with you back why not go bother someone like Li'Tae or Kane? They're far more interested in games than I am. >
As Trisste continued to talk and keep Tsuki's attention at bay, Sionce slowly moved towards his personal laptop that was resting against the ground and was open and loading. He never kept his laptop hooked to the home computers for this reason alone, and at the moment he was very glad that he hadn't thought of plugging it in today for system updates.
It took him another moment to think of how he could figure this out and start to repeal his invader, so reaching over and lifting up his whitebaord that happened to be in the room froma game of pictonary with Trisste earlier, he scrawled a message on it and turned it away from the screen.
"Fiach, if you would...please talk to Tsuki and Trisste while I try and download this anti-bot and chaser virus into my main systems."
He pointed to his laptop with a stray finger and at the boxes of code that were starting to run and load. While his laptop wasn't nearly as large as the other computers it was just as powerful for the moment and could be of use....if they had the time.
"Talk to them about anything, please." Loki Saimar Grimacing with a slight nod, Fiach set his mind to thinking about ways to distract a hacker. Picking up his laptop, he stared at it wishing Li'tae would appear. It really would be much easier if the brat would choose this moment to show up and be a pest.
"But, of course, I'm just not that lucky, am I?"
Glancing back up at the main screen, Fiach cleared his throat and stared up at the white hacker.
"I don't believe I've met you before, I'm afraid. Were you one of the two who sent that Liar message to Sionce before?"
Frowning, he tried to think up more questions as he waited for a response. He didn't really know anything about this hacker yet, and had no way of knowing how best to distract him from anything. Rown Tsuki looked away from Trisste for a moment turned his gaze towards Fiach, his red eye open wide while his black eye was clsoed short.
< Oh, that's right. You've meet the left instead of me, but that doesn't mean I don't know about you. <3 And to answer your question about the message, we did do that. It was a fun game to see if we could and even though we gummed it...we still did it. Boss was very happy <3 >
He flitted about suddenly, moving over and grabbign Trisste by the hands with his own. This action clearly shocked and slightly terrified the older hacker who tried to pull back with no avail.
< Actually, I'm not supposed to be here since if I got found I was supposed to release my virus and go...but I wanted to see Trisste <3. I really like you, you know <3 >
Inwardly Sionce groaned as he watched his partner being harassed by this unknown and rather brazen individual, and he typed even quicker into his computer in an effort to speed up the process. He could probably do it in half the time if Trisste were actually there to help him, but seeing as the hacker was being a bit distracted....
"Fiach, keep talking. One more round of this and I should eb able to hit him with the chaser." Loki Saimar Nodding his consent, Fiach inclined his head.
"Then, I suppose under other circumstances, I might say its a pleasure to meet you, Tsuki." Shrugging, he eyed Trisste and wondered if the poor hacker would be scarred from this, it appeared he and Sionce shared a dislike for being touched.
"And its not like Tsuki is a pleasant sort, either..."
"Though, I will congratulate you on having delivered that message. I know Sionce's systems are quite a pain to deal with. To have hacked it even for that moment was quite impressive."
Smiling, in an attempt to make that seem an honest, and not bizarre or ironic, compliment, Fiach shrugged.
"You definitely did better than I would have, that's for sure!" Laughing at himself, he flicked his eyes over at Sionce, wondering how much more time he'd have to stall this bizarre hacker. Rown < That's because you're an idiot who can't keep anything or do anything. >
Tsuki pulled Trisste closer and wrapped him into a hug, thereby preventing the hacker from getting any further away from him than Trisste was heavily trying to do. His tone was much sharper now than it had been before, but he suddenly smiled from where his face was buried against Trisste.
< Thank you though <3. We did have some trouble, but I'm not working alone like you probably would have tried <3 >
It was back, his normal tone of childish playfulness, and he squeezed Trisste tighter while ignoring the fact that Trisste had sort of stopped moving and was looking down at the man on the floor.
"Just a little...more...got it! TRISSTE, INSTALL IT!"
Sionce quickly pushed a cord into the main modem and hit the enter key on his laptop, watching with hurried eyes as the hacker on the screen moved and wrapped his arms around the smaller elder who was hugging him affectionatly. It was at the moment of contact that Tsuki let out a loud beep of surprise and jumped back, his eyes wide.
< ... What...what did you just put on me?! What is this?! >
< It's Sionce's specialty, a track and chase virus. You're infected now. >
Trisste smirked from where he stood, and he looked over towards Fiach and nodded before looking down at Sionce and doing the same. Loki Saimar "Heh. I suppose I am an idiot, but at least I'm not childish about it."
Shrugging and looking over at Sionce, Fiach wondered aloud, "Should we perhaps notify the other hackers of the situation?"
It wasn't going to be fun having to notify that many people and try to everyone prepared for Tsuki to cause problems, if he chose to do so. But it still might be necessary - with someone this interested in a game of strength, the worst was almost always guaranteed to happen somewhere along the line. Rown Tsuki stared at his hands for a moment before looking at the rest of his body, frowning deeply as he turned his gaze upwards towards Trisste. He knew he'd be in big trouble for, this major trouble in fact, since he was only supposed to come onto this system and plant his virus and leave before being fully detected. However, it seemed like his desire to mess with Trisste would be the problem now and that lead to him getting tagged.
Mugen would not be pleased. Not pleased at all.
< . . . I won't forget this, but I suppose I should go for now. I'll be back to see you again though Trisste, because it's going to be fate that you come with me one day <3. >
With that the hacker popped and disappeared from the screen, leaving Trisste to shake his head and cross his arms while sighing deeply.
< I swear, this won't go well for us at all. It's sort of all your fault you know, what with our systems being pretty much triple-class protection. >
"You're to blame as well since you help me set these programs up. Are you okay?"
Even though they seemed to bickering it was quite clear that both were relieved that nothing serious had come to pass on Trisste or the system...or so it seemed.
"From the program I'm running off my laptop there doesn't seem to be any signs of a virus in you or the server so I'm going to try and turn them back on. Watch for any signs of trouble though, and when you get a chance go and check on those hackers. I'm sure they're probably confused at what's going on and you can explain it a lot better to them than I can."
< Will do. >
Trisste blinked off the screen as the other screens came back online, their moniters displaying a reset code that showed Sionce had merely preformed a hard reset on them. If any data had been lost it was nothing important - after all, saving the hackers and the servers of their customers came before their own things.
< Sionce, everyone is accounted for and all right...if not a little irritated for suddenly being shut off. >
"They'll survive. Now for what you said Fiach, I do think we should let the owners and hackers know. If they took the time to get into my system and didn't have any problems, who knows what they could do to any other hacker and that owner's computer or phone system."
He rubbed the back of his head with his hand and sighed deeply, mirrioring the hacker on the screen who did the same. Whoever developed this habit from watching the other was up to grabs, but it was one of many habits they would seem to share.
"You can go ahead and go back to the lab now, but leave your servers off until I get there. Use the telephone to get a hold of everyone or go visit them personally if you need to - the sooner the better. This track and chase I put on Tsuki won't last long, a week a most, and maybe even less if his owner can get it off him." Lab-NET Hackers Clapping Sionce on the back, Fiach nodded his thanks. Giving a partial wave to Trisste, he gathered up his laptop and messenger bag.
"I'll have Adalia help me notify everyone as soon as I get to the lab. Li'tae can handle telling individual hackers, if it comes down to it, I suppose. At least, for once they'll both be able to do something useful."
Shrugging, he pulled the bag's strap over his shoulder and gave a quick smile.
"Don't worry, Sionce, I won't do anything to hurt the computers. I'd rather not have you try to kill me." As a grin spread across his face he added, "Besides, a man in a bunny mask shouldn't act like that - it ruins the whole idea of 'bunnies'."
Winking at Sionce, Fiach headed out of the room, pausing at the door only long enough to add, "And don't forget to get that mess cleaned up, Sionce."
Shutting the door quietly behind him, Fiach's joking face quickly turned to a frown as he began jogging back to the lab. His bag and penny whistle flapping against his body as he ran, he regretted that the track and chase would last as little time as it would. He didn't enjoy having to hurry about and do everything as quick as all of this.
Arriving back at the lab, he fished out his address book and got onto the landline. Calling Adalia he read out the names of contacts who had purchased hackers most recently and gave her orders to notify all of them before she went to bed that night.
Sighing, he sat down in his chair and began to wonder just who was behind all of this in the first place.
Yawning, and not really sure just what her big brother wanted her to say, Adalia set about the tedious task of calling everyone with hackers. Mostly she got answering machines and to everyone, she left the same message:
"There has been an attack on the .NET Hacker servers. Please be careful with your hackers at this time. Sionce has managed to put a track and chase on one of the troublemakers. If you want to help, please report to the lab tomorrow morning. First thing!"
Stretching as she finished calling the last of them, Adalia held up her bat plushy and gave him a big hug before going back to bed.

Mayeko tossed herself out of bed. Remembering the phone call last night she grabbed her cloud notepad and put her computer which was off into her bag and waddled up the stairs. Leaving her Pa-Paw a note she pushed open the door into the dark shop. The gate had been rolled down infront along with the cover which meant today was a day the shop was going to stay closed. Slipping on her dirty shoes she smiled. Today was going to be a fun day. Maneuvering through the shop just barley escaping the huge tower of cans that almost fell over Mayeko pushed open the door looking out as the light shined brightly momentarily blinding her.
Walking down the dustry street the turned to face the .Net Hackers shop. Thankfully it wasn't to far away from her home. She wandered if anyone beat her here. Knocking twice on the door again she waited for Fiach to answer, if he was here.

Hearing the tentative knocks at the door, Fiach got up from Leharl's chair where he'd fallen asleep the night before. Stretching his long legs out, and giving a great yawn, he sleepily stumbled to the door. Pulling the door open and blinking in the sudden, bright light that spilled in, he didn't see the little Mayeko standing directly in front of him.
Another great yawn left his mouth as he vaguely recalled he'd forgot to put his shirt back on before coming to the door. Scratching at his chin, he sleep addled mind started to wonder what he might be able to crop up for breakfast as his stomach let out a great growl.

"Umm.. Mr. Fiach Sir Ma'am. . ." said Mayeko forgetting that sir was the only thing you said "Do you want me to fix you some breakfast?" It seemed as if he hadn't even noticed her yet. Oh well, her small voice would fix that. Looking down she covered her eyes from the blaring sun wiping off the droplets of sweat. Man, it was abnormally hot. 102 degrees is what the thermometer has read.

Blinking a few times to clear his vision, his gaze shot downwards and a blush of embarrassment flew across his cheeks. Quickly moving to one side so that Mayeko could come in, Fiach shook his head, it wasn't right for someone to fix him breakfast. He'd just have to call Sionce and ask him to buy food on his way. He didn't quite trust Adalia to do the job...she'd probably purchase carrots as a joke for Sionce.
Clearing his throat, Fiach smiled, "Um..hello little Mayeko." Coughing a couple of times, he added as politely as he could, "Please feel free to grab a seat. The others should join us soon, I think...I'm going to go get myself properly dressed and get cleaned up. If anyone else knocks, feel free to let them in."
Quickly grabbing his shirt and hurrying to the back, Fiach prays the girl doesn't mess his entire shop up while he's gone.

Mayeko smiled and sat down as she was told after changing into her clean shoes of course. Looking around she found a few lose pieces of paper, it looked like Mr. Fiach has come upon a unpleasant night last night. Picking them up she straightened them and ordered them before setting them down on the table. If anything she had in common with Fiach it was his unpleasant dislike of dirtiness. Returning to her chair she remembered her hackers but froze upon touching her computer, she wasn't supposed to turn it on after it freaked out last night. Swinging her feet slightly she waited to see if the door bell would ring. It was nice, being in a clean place.

Throwing the door to the shop wide open, Adalia stomped in with caked on mud falling off her boots with each step. Shrugging as she took off her backpack with its panda patches all over it, she looked around the shop. Sighing at the missing Fiach, she catches sight of Mayeko.
With a big grin on her face, she quickly heads over to the little girl.
"And how are you today, little one?"
Beaming, she pats Mayeko on the head, playfully ruffling her hair.

"I...am...fine," Mayeko replied when she wasn't being shaken basically. Looking up at Adalia she smiled "And yourself?" Mayeko wasn't very social around people but she seemed to be easy to talk to, Adalia meaning. Straightening her hair she looked at the mud on the floor and slightly winced preparing for Fiach. She hadn't a clue what he did when there was mud everywhere.

Violetta skipped merrily down the street, bright and cheerful as always. Today she wore a pair of black mary janes with rainbow striped, knee length socks, a pair of blue jean short shorts, and an oversized, baby blue hoodie that had cat ears sowed onto the hood. The hoodie had a pocket along the front, and within the rather large space she had stored her new palm pilot, the device containing her beloved hacker, Aiko. Upon reaching her destination, the shop that had sold her Aiko, Violetta barged in, not bothering to knock. (The message she'd recieved last night said to come offer, it never said anything about knocking to get in!) She was, however, careful to remember to close the door.
Once inside, Violetta looked throughout the space, "Mr. Fiatch?"
No, no Fiatch, but there were other people there. A girl and another, litter girl. Violetta quickly skipped over to them, trying not to step into the mud that was spread on the floor, and greeted the two as if she had already met them sometime before. "Hey lady and baby girl, what's up?"

Standing up, Adalia turned and grinned at the newcomer. "My name is Adalia!" A frown touched her face as she added, "I'm Fiach's young sister, but I don't know where he is right now..."
A fast smile returned to her face as she added, "And what's your name?" Thrusting her hand out by way of introduction, she smiled at the little girl and the newcomer, both.

"My name is Mayeko, it is a pleasure to meet you Adalia," stiffing up at the words 'baby girl' Mayeko shook her head. She could handle little girl by baby girl was throwing you luck a little to far. Passing off the thought at the moment Mayeko relaxed laying comfortably in her chair. "Fiach is getting 'properly dressed.'"

Normally when Violetta met people she like to throw in a curtsey, but since she wasn't wearing a skirt or a long jacket, she had to live without it for now. "I'm Violetta, it's great to meet you! Are you guys here about your hackers?"
Looking down at Mayeko, the red head wondered what 'properly dressed' meant. Had he been running around the shop in his undies? That seemed like an odd thing to do...

"Sort of."
Shrugging, Adalia added, "My brother works here and I help out sometimes. Li'tae is all right, though, and I didn't experience any computer oddities last night...So I'm not entirely sure what's going on, to be honest."
Coming back out from the back, Fiach had on a pale blue button up shirt and khaki cargo pants on. A towel was in his still wet hair, as he rubbed it vigorously, trying to dry it. Yawning and stretching, his as yet unbuttoned shirt parted to show off his toned torso.
Suddenly realizing he wasn't alone in the shop, Fiach blushed and let the towel drop off his head, quickly brushing his hair back with his fingers.
"Um...hello there..."

Mayeko giggled at Mayeko and looked at Violetta "I am here because I was asked to be. I did experience a twinge in my computer but its a piece of junk anyhow so I don't think it was really anything." Looking to Fiach Mayeko tapped the chair edge "So, anything we can do?"
