Welcome to Gaia! ::

Joker stood up and left money on the table for the waiter. He waited for Eldin, motioning him to follow back to his place.

"Ah." Kyoshi would have returned the grin with one of his own but he didn't have it in him to do it. "I hope what ever it is you can here to stop has stoppped." He looked out the window just to look. He was abit uncomfortable but he didn't show it.

Kyoshi went to sit at the edge of the bed. "I'm living here because there are better hit jobs. That's what I do. I'm a professional hitman." He looked at her but his messy hair was covering his eys. "Plus, my friend told me I can never go back without her permission. My friend owns the city so I don't want to cross her." He said admitting pretty much the truth.

Joker raised an eyebrow at Eldin. "You may ask me anything you wish Eldin. We are now comrades." He liked Eldin and being the most friendly insane person you'll ever meet was the most approachable person out of the whole group.

Joker thought about it. "What we do, Eldin is not moral. Even though our boss is a Seraph. See. We are...the mafia of sorts. We get rid of evil people. What ever they do to innocents, will be done to them. I'm sure your not going to be involved in anything physical because we all have different positions. Generally, Gambler would do the introductions but see isn't here." Joker shook his head and lead the way.

"There are a few more of us. We have the twins, who are more like bodyguards and informants but since they don't talk they are bodyguards to anyone that is in danger. Monty is the weapons expert. If you do see his collection, don't touch anything." He thought for a moment. "Then there is me, I'm just the one in the corner or the "secret weapon" as Gambler likes to call me." He wasn't going to tell Eldin that he was a pyshotic doctor who operated one people by injecting them with a chemical that made you feel pain ten times more. "You have Raid who is something of a left hand man to Gambler. We had Casanova, but he died." Casanova was really dead and in hell and the hellhounds personal chew toy.

"As you know Gambler is the boss but she sometimes doesn't act like how one should be. See, if you don't feel comfortable with something, then you don't have to do it. She will do it just so you don't feel that discomfort. She really does take care of us. Though, we should do more for her." He felt bad at the times when some of the ones who used to be with them couldn't stomache the tough jobs when she was busy that she went out of her way to make room for that one job. It worried him and the close members that she would look grim everytime and then she would have that easy smile to play it off but deep down, she was in pain for doing it.

"You see, we want to...restore the world on how it used to be before this hell. We understand that evil will always be around but at least happiness and everything that once lived could florish again. I know it sounds impossiable and you must think that I'm joking but think of it this way, if one person can declare war and turn this world into what it is today, then it takes that one person to stand up and try to make it better. Even if it means using that same evil against the evil-doer to achieve it." Had this been an anime he would have had the spotlight on him, with glitters around him like Major Armstrong from FMA with that speech. "All in all, we are but a mafia in disguise." They had reached his home and entered. There he ushered in Eldin and looked at Kalore who stood near the couch. "Is there something wrong, Kalore?" He aksed politely.

Kyoshi shrugged. 'That's because it mirrors how I am inside. How poetic.' He thought. He would get through this. He would. "Well if you can somehow convince my friend to let me come back, how a place there to come back to after I do jobs here, I would be impressed...and thankful." He looked outside. Yeah the place was hell incarnate but it would make him almost a billionaire here. He also couldn't look at some people down there the same way again.

Joker shook his head and chuckled softly. There was a reason why Kalore stood near that couch and he went to see what it was. Before his eyes was his lovely boss Gambler in her still bloody state and sleeping. He went up to her and with the back of his fingers, caressed her cheek to wake up.

Gambler felt something soft touch her face and it was sort of nice. Then her mind kicked into overdrive and remembered about the rapist. Though no rapist would be nice and try to wake her up this way. He would have used brute force to get her in any way he wanted her to be in. So who could have been doing this? "Gambler if you don't wake up your going to have to buy me new sofas. Expensive one's that are leather." Joker whispered into her ear. That opened her eyes. "Would you like them in brown or black?" She asked. "I would like for you to get up and wash up. I know my cloths are over sized but I think you can manage for a bit until things get settled down." He said with a laugh. Gambler stretched and grumbled some words and walked into his room, closing the door.

So it hadn't been a rapist house after all, much to her relief.

Joker looked around. "Where's Dusk?"

Kyoshi looked at his wrist as if it had a watch. "Look at the time. I have to go. I'll escort you to the edge of the city to see you safely there so I can start job hunting." He said in a normal tone as if he really was going to job hunt. Not like he really needed to. The moment his description was known around by that guy in the lobby Kyoshi would be getting offers like no other.

Joker sat down on his couch and rubbed his temples. "Where are you three staying? Do you have residences in Ellwood or do you need/have a place in Area? I can assist you in getting one." He said to Rave.

Gambler was in the hot shower, relaxing and getting clean.

Kyoshi stood up and got up and went to get his jacket. He pocketed a weapon and opened the door. "Ready to go?"

Kyoshi nodded and lead them out of the apartment and the building but not without giving a death glare to the man behind the counter. He shuddered in fear under his look. Kyoshi walked them out and they took short cuts throughout the streets were it was quiet and arrived at the enterance of Area 40. He looked ahead of them and stopped.

"Well. Here's your stop. Take care." He said.

Joker rubbed his temples again. "I can arrange for a home near Ellwood but not close enough to trespass on the land."

Kyoshi had turned away and stopped, looking over his shoulder. "Yeah?" He asked. A small part of him was curious now. It was random that she would say something now before leaving. Usually it was a bye and that's it.

Gambler came out listening to the guys talking and drying her hair with a towel. She had put on another button shirt that was pretty big on her and some well fitted shorts. "I like you two very much." She said.

Joker nodded. "It shouldn't matter. No one will know. Plus, they can just deal with it." He said.
