Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Really?" Once again, Blade was surprised. But, she reasoned, with all that was happening she shouldn't. The runaway was used to surprising things, what with her powers that she had thought made her alone. Powers that she had thought were freakish. Yet . . . she wasn't alone. And perhaps they weren't freakish.

With her arms crossed loosely over her front, Victoria eyed Conner carefully as opened up his bag, revealing the collection of items on the inside. Her eyes widen ever so slightly in surprised. Spray cans, wire, pocket knifes...it you could name it, it was there in Conner's Mary Poppin's bag of micheif. Seeing Conner fish out his wallet from the contents that were now strewn across the hoof of the car, Victoria nodded her head in compliance as he held out a single, credit-card shaped piece of plastic.

"Easy enough," said Victoria, taking the card from Conner and giving it the once over. It was black, with was odd, but other then that, there was nothing suspicious about it.

And...of course, there was nothing suspicious about her crossing the street to use the ATM after hours either. Not hesitating for an instant, Victoria did just that and before she knew it, the alley, Conner and the car were far behind her, and the Bank's ATM gleamed just in front of her. Pulling the card out of her pocket, she inserted it in the proper slot and when prompted, entered four random numbers: 5-6-7-8.

Assuming that whatever task Conner had just talking her into pulling went off without a hitch, Victoria checked out her surroundings for an instant before crossing the street and returning to Conner's side. "Done," she said, quietly. "And the glass on the Bank's front door is pretty damn reflective, if that's what you're looking for."

"Theres plenty." Jillann replied. "I'm going to the poolonce I find my swimsuit." She thought for a sec to see if she knew were it was.... "Oh yeah now I remember!" she ran up the stair triping once but catching her self on a stair and continued uo in a bear crawl. She went in to her room and scearched under her bed. "Ah ha!" She said reaching for her slightly sparkly black bikini with gold charm and trim. She grabed her cover up and made her way to the pool.

Blade looked around the kitchen quickly. She knew that if she was to stay here, she would need to look around more closely at things. However, even if she was to stay, there was always a chance that she would be found by her parents and taken back before she was ready. And Blade couldn't live with the chance of hurting them because she wasn't in control of herself.
"Bedroom and bathroom?" She felt herself smile in spite of all her thoughts. It had been two years since she had a proper shower and bed.

Damon gave a simple nod, having sorted out enough of the mess that his mind had been stumbling through over the past few days. He still wasn't entirely at ease about the situation, and he knew that only time could help with that. It would be a while before he could be at peace about what happened.

"So... what will happen with me now?"

The past had been explained. Now to look towards the future.

"Excellent." He said quietly, the ATM was an old one, no camera to hide his face from. "Okay, i'll be back in about twenty minutes, if all goes alright that is." He told Victoria and walk out of the alley, straight for the machine. A quick peek at the banks glass door did indeed confirm that it was reflective. He walked briskly, straight for the ATM and fished out the PDA and the connector wire, along with the knife. Once at the machine he did a quick check for cameras and found none then checked for a crack in the plastice, he found one around the keypad fascia and jammed the knife in, applied some pressure and levered the keypad out. He put the knife away and brought out his clippers and started searching for the right wires by feel; feeling along one wire until he found the ATM's hard drive then feeling the connectors. He cut the plastic covering on the wire and stripped enough away to get his own wires conected to the ATM's via crocodile clips. He activated the PDA and began hacking into the hardrive, looking for past usage of the machine.

After ten minutes he was in and searching for the right acccount; one that wasn't too depleted (he didn't want to make a minimum wage worker poorer) but wasn't in the platinum band of the banks security where his unlawful transaction would be found too quickly for his comfort. Conner had done this particular scam twice but he had done similar acts and had aquired a bit of knowledge on accounts: anything with exact amounts were trust funds and specific savings accounts, he left them alone, any account under a thousand was usually a minimum wage workers and what little conscience he had left made him leave those accounts alone, they didn't need him adding to thier problems.
What he need was an account that was at least four figures but not a neat or exacting amount. There we are he thought to himself as he found one scroll by on the PDA's screen. He fished back into his wallet and pulled out a completly white credit card and put it into the machine then punched the pin into his computer. After a few seconds the ATM accepted his card and he took three hundred out and began to pack up. He put his card back, turned off the PDA, unclipped the wires, took out the can of spray paint and sprayed the exposed wires and then sprayed the plast around the hole. He pushed the keypad back on and put his weight down on it to help it stay in place until the spray paint dried. He put everithing back into his pockets and headed way down the street for a few seconds until he was sure he was safe and crossed the street back to the car. "And now we have the cash to exact some needless, but satisfying, revenge." He pocketed the thick wad of bills with an evil smile, he always got a serious kick out of things like this. "All courtesy of a Mr Mathews who ever he is." He added as he got back into the car and leaned forward to get his arm under the seat to retrieve his bag. "Let's get out of here before I do something stupid." He said and started the engine.

Blade blinked in surprise when she was addressed. However, she quickly smile and held out a hand as she introduced herself.
"My name's Blade. But . . . I'm not sure if I'm going to be here long . . ." It was true. Blade just didn't know. But she was willing to find out more before she made her choice.
