Welcome to Gaia! ::

Delic frowned and looked momentarily before he moved silently to make his way to his boss' current location.

~+~

Shizuo paused before he looked over at them when they reached the heap. It looked rather organized for being a bunch of different parts and units, but as the blond continued on, he noticed the slow motion of the orange -loid and slowed down a bit himself to keep pace with the others. He looked around, trying to see through his eye again for a moment before he sighed and continued on his way, "Alright, we're just about there. I apologize ahead of time for my lack of cleaning this damn place all the time, I have a sick one at the apartment and another that won't shut up about missing the others. . . "

The brunette paused and frowned as he stopped in his tracks taking a long drag of his cigarette before he spoke, "Do you really wanna know why the people here stay?" He turned around, "This city is all many of us know. . . and they're scared. So here I stay, to protect those who looked up to me before this s**t happened to my city. I'm Shizuo ********, Strongman of this city. I don't know what you're even doing here, I don't really give a s**t to be honest, but if you want a fight, I'm the only one fit to do it. I don't trust your kind to be honest, I got separated from the rest of my family because of you assholes. Made it physically difficult to stay together." He crushed his cigarette between two fingers and threw it to the ground stomping it out successfully and cracking the concrete below him, "So I thought bringing you here would make things easier. I'm on a bit of a handicap, but you better damn well be prepared." He cracked his knuckles before glaring coldly at the three -loids, a cold gaze glossing over his eyes.

He paused listening to Ayu's words before he took a deep breath. . . it had been some time since his rage filled emotions could subside like this. He placed his hands into his pockets and gave a nod. "Oba-san says that a Mechanic's work is a masterpiece. And because of that, I'll leave you alone. Hang on, I'll get the cores for you."

The blond vanished from sight and there was the sound of clutter was apparent as mechanical parts clattered noisily. He grunted before walking past again and picking up a steel box, seeming to not be showing any strained effort in picking up the heavy object. Setting it to the ground, he began to fill the cube with the E cores quietly, seeming to take very special care into their safety, something not done often buy the tall brunette. He took off his glasses.

As he turned around, he seemed to look like the brunette administrator, Tsugaru, a passive gaze across his face before he picked up the heavy cube and looked at the -loids, "Alright, are we going to stand here or are we going to get down to business?"

"Hmm...yeah, sounds fine to me." He shifted his weight and looked at Ayu, "Alright, I have to stop somewhere before we do anything. Tsukishima and Psyche would be worried if I didn't bring them along." He then looked over at Bass with a bit of a sour glance, "And those fights you talked about? You're going to have them. Be happy"

"Right, I'll see you at the entrance." Carrying off the Cores with himself he went home to visit the other two living there.

"Shizu Shizu!" Quickly did the raven haired male rush up to him, wrapping his arms around his neck.

"Hey Psyche.How's Tsuki doing?"

"I'm fine, Shizuo-san" The blond came into view with a soft smile.

"Hey, you up for a trip, Tsuki? We've gotta deliver some cores across the Junkyard."

"Do you think we'll see Tsu-chan, or Delili?"

"Dunno. But from what I understand, the people we're transporting from have seen Delic recently. . . and there is a new city across the map."

"Ehh? A new city?" Psyche looked surprised, a twinkly in his eye, "I can't believe it! And Delili was there?! That means Tsu-chan will be alright too!"

~+~

There was a voice that rang in their headsets, "Hello? Is this thing on?" It sounded like the informant they had met before entering, "Ah good, I'm sure you can all hear me. I wanted to inform you that you might run into someone that we know by the name of Shizuo Heiwajima, Shizu-chan. He should be able to assist you during your return unless you already met him. If that's the case, then that's good. We're working on trying to get him into the city, but this thorn in my side is getting in too deep" There was a pause, "Anyway, if you do see him, tell him that his flea misses him, ne, Ja!" As quickly as the intermission came in, it was gone again. That informant was something else.

That was around the time when Shizuo returned with two others, one that looked much like himself and another that looked like the informant the'd just finished talking to.

The blond following behind Shizuo looked shy, not to mention a little tired, but he didn't smoke like the other three, instead, he opted to chew on a red ticket. He clutched the bag at his side and smiled kindly when he came into view of the three.

The other seemed bouncy, very excited to see the other three. He was like an over hyper version of the informant, but under that smile that he wore, there was something dark, but still hidden til a time of threat.

"Alright, lets go." Shizuo stared at the group for a moment, examining Bass and Ayu's confused expression before he spoke, "What the hell is with those looks?"
