Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gambler thought and then gave Rave a big grin. "What do you say to a game of cards?" That idea was really good since she hasn't played with Rave in cards yet, except maybe for calling her out in Go Fish. Stretching to the drawer near her, she took out the deck of cards and began to shuffle them with her great skills. "We can play whatever you want as long as it's not Go Fish since my view's of strategy is different from yours." She said sweetly.

Kyoshi laughed and looked at his overflowing basket. "I think we are going to need a cart for all these. Is this all you need Kitten?" He asked making sure before he went to the check out.

The Twins looked at each other and something seemed to pass between them but then they sat back and put the T.V up a bit. They weren't going to make Eldin feel uncomfortable so they relaxed as if nothing happened.

Monty took up a duffle bag full of stuff from boxes and walked towards the door, grabbing Kalore's wrist along the way and sending him out of the warehouse first. Monty turned and put up powerful wards to guard the place and motioned for his dog to stay at the door. The three headed dog came up to their master and nuzzled his hand for treats. Turning to walk away he threw three big dog treats over his shoulder and was walking.

Kyoshi shook his head and went to the cash register. "I think I'm going to need insulin after this." He joked again but if this is what made Dusk happy then he was too. "Just don't eat this all in one day. Or else."

Ivan took out his cell phone and looked at it. "You waiting for mother's call?" His brother nodded. "It must be taking so long to get information." Ivan shook his head. He watched the T.V and got bored with the show. "Put some futbol." He said. Hans nodded and put on the game. It was Area 1 versus Area 8. "GOOOOOAAAAL!!!!!" Ivan shouted in russian.

Monty looked at Kalore as they were nearing the Joker's house. "What is odd?" He asked not sure if it was him or what was odd.

Gambler let her cards fall into a clean deck and just when she was going to offer to teach him a easy game, Joker came in. Her attention reluctantly snapped to her friend and her seriousness came on.

Joker sat at the table. He folded his hands and he was waiting for the others to come back so that he didn't have to repeat himself twice. Especially since he didn't take his meds, he was going to blow up if he repeated twice.

Kyoshi turned around with a smirk and then took the bags after paying. He not only did he take the bags but he also punched the bag boy and lead Dusk out with a devil may cry glare at the males who thankfully went about their business. He didn't answer the question because he didn't want to give anything away. Man, he needed to read books or something or get inspired.

Hans nodded with a grin. "He likes Area 1 because of a former futbol player from Russia. He is the best kicker they have." He explained as Ivan was muttering many things fast in their native language.

Monty shrugged. "Just don't be like that heathen and call him Fluffy or anything ungodly. Besides, you won't be spending time with my dog." He said as he lead Kalore into the house and went straight to the kitchen, igoring the mess and ignoring the possiable sight of Raid's body but knowing Gambler she would never leave a fallen comrade like that.

Gambler looked up and then back at Joker with a business-like air. "So. Did you find anything?" Joker nodded. He had to take a few breaths before he spoke. Monty motioned for Kalore to take a seat. Joker looked at everyone as he spoke. "I'm suspicious of a club that just opened last night. They seemed to be doing good and it just strikes me as odd that they weren't mentioned or licensed to build one, especially overnight. I did some snooping and people who went there told me about it." Gambler went from calm, business-like to livid and wanting to kill something.

Gambler didn't like it at all. So was going to storm this place with hell on her heels. "Before I start spouting nonesense and lose my mind, what ideas do you have about taking over and destorying these guys. I want everyones opinion, please." She said too calmly.

Kyoshi walked up to a nice looking apartment building but it unnerved him that it was quiet. He was beginning to suspect something was up. "You know this is really annoying that no one is around." He commented just walking them into the elevator and going up to the top floor. Since this floor had four apartments one was open for him. How? Gambler always had one available for him.

Hans shook his head. "Don't never bother. He is cursing and cheering all at once." He said with a tsk tsk look.

Gambler had a big smile on her face. "I just want to let you all know. I'm very proud to have smarty pants like you on my side." She said. Joker looked at her. "Why do you say that?" "Well just incase I die and obviously never come back, I wanted to say that. Now you can't say that I was never a good leader for liking you all." She said. Monty snorted. "I'm counting down those days until you die Gambler." He muttered.

Gambler smiled with evil intent at Monty. "Thank you Monty dear for stepping up and volunteering to be my dance partner for the night. I hope you don't mind Rave. I'll save the last dance for you, okay?" Monty's eyes were about to fall out, if he was able to show that kind of emotion. A plan was forming up in her mind and it might just work.

Kyoshi shook his head and opened the door to an empty room. He locked the door behind them and went into the kitchen putting the groceries on the counters and began to put them away. "Then get your a** in here and make yourself some chocolate covered strawberries. Or do you want a meal?" He didn't mind making food for her. He actually liked doing that the first time she was in his home.

Hans nodded. "Do you like futbol?" He was curious to know if elves had that sport or sports in general.

Gambler rolled her eyes as did Joker. "I'm a very hands on boss. I'm not lazy and into my team members like Lech or counting money like there is no tomorrow like Bank. I am the first line of defense and the very last. Plus, I'm a master of disguise." She grinned. She wasn't really into dressing fancy or anything. It was more so that she used to go along with a few music eras like punk rock that to this day still makes her smile and want to cause trouble. She also wanted to wear this nice little number she hadn't put on in forever. "Unless you can give me three really good reasons why I shouldn't be in, then I'll step down. I don't see why we have to involve others and get them targeted. They have children in that group and them being targeted because of me is not on my list of things to do before I die and you wouldn't want to see what will happen if a hair is touched on their little heads." She said shuffling her cards.

Joker leaned close to Rave. "She adores kids. She's a matron in a children's hospital and hopes to have one...." Joker got hit with a card that happened to have been the King of Hearts. "Jo-Jo. That is no ones business but mines. And no kid will be brought into this world right now. It's still full of crazy people." Gambler being one of them. "So, Sir Rave. Let me hear what reason you got. Oh and being leader of this group or a woman or a seraph are not counted as reasons." Monty snorted again. "It should be you damned heathen." He growled.

Kyoshi nodded with a smile and began to take out pots and pans. He took out ingredients to make the greatest chicken and rice she has ever tasted. He set to cutting and starting up the stove. It was nice that they both were working together to make a good meal.

Hans chuckled. "Without violence their is no amusement. You do understand that we all have those primal instincts no matter what." He said watching his usually nice, equally quiet brother become ferocious and scary with his words.

Monty rolled his eyes. "Women think and lead with emotions not their brains." Another card was thrown, perfectly at his forehead and hurting him. He growled and shutted up.

Joker was still nursing the his wound and glaring at the cards.

Gambler waved his questions away. "Seeing as you don't have any good reasons for me to not have a hand in something that is obivously about me, I'm going to be like Cinderella going to a ball, well club. Monty is going to be my dance partner for the night. Oh, by the way, we are all going to need to do serious make overs. Joker. I want you to contact the woman's prison and have someone who looks exactly like me in everyway." "Why?" He asked. "Who said the real Gambler was going in first tonight? I have to get my cloths ready and Monty needs to change. Hell, all of you need to change." Joker nodded and went to make calls. "Any objections?"

Kyoshi liked the peace coming from between them and how good the kitchen was smelling. If nothing happened, would it have been like this? He began to question things but they left him very quickly. This was the now and he had his Dusk with him. He prayed it would stay like that and that they can be closer in bond.

Hans looked at Eldin. "What is Life Magic?" He asked curious. He has never heard of that and he let all his attention focus on the elf.

Gambler smiled at Kalore. "Your a very smart man in saying that. You get a bonus for that. Remind me though." She dealed him the Ace of Clubs. Looking at Rave she thought about his question. She stood up and paced back and forth. Straigthening her shoulders she made herself look like a War General or a dictator. "I assume that there are numbers more than us. I want to send in a decoy who plays as Gambler. As you said, we go from the inside and work our way in there. So, I'm going to be a human who is lured by the devilishly handsome and scary Monty who will have a new name, look, and smell. They must know what my scent is so that will be covered up as well. I will be arms with two guns and Monty with a few. You guys will provide feedback on positions and who's a suspicious character while we try to weed out their boss."

Gambler stopped to look at Monty. "He's a soul stealer this demon." Monty tilted his head to the side and then look away. "So, he must need souls to sustain himself. He could have mine but I'm too expensive. Hence the decoy Gambler. He can have her while we go in a cut him to bits. If it gets ugly...I hate to say this but if you can't save the innocent people then they are human shields." She clenched her jaw and looked out the window. A haunted look passed over her face as she gazed out the glass. She remembered human shields from along time ago.
