Welcome to Gaia! ::

After a few more words Edmond understood the voice. He covered part of the phone. "Oh thank god it is a woman, I was worried for a moment." Edmond then removed his hand and continued speaking with Jamie. This is Eric Monte, I am calling to set up a meeting with Mr. Cobblepot." Edmond said as he put the phone on speaker and set it down. He grabbed the eye patch he had and thought for a moment then put it over his left eye. The story had been that Eric lost his left eye in a shooting. It would be odd if he showed up with the patch on his right eye when he had been seen so many times before with it on his left.

"I would like to meet as soon as possible. It is concerning a few items of interest that I need to pawn off. I know my reputation would imply I can do that without him but I was never too good at pawning off small shiny rocks. If you know what I mean." Edmond explained. He knew that if a background check was run they would find he had a few experiences pawning things off but it was never more than full jewelry. It would be safe to assume he could not sell diamonds alone and so he was visiting Cobblepot for help.

Edmond nodded to Emily when she mouthed the word stalling. He messed with the eye patch a bit and then sat forward in his chair when Jamie finished speaking. "I am on my way then. As for who contacted me... well let's just say a little bird told me." Edmond said before he hung up. Edmond opened his briefcase again and took the knife out. "This has to be on me when they run the check for weapons." Edmond said before shutting the case again. He looked over to Emily. "Alright, looks like our plan is in motion."

"That is the plan." Edmond said as he fiddled with his eyepatch again. It was never comfortable to wear but always added a certain flair to Eric Monte. Edmond opened the door to his office and walked out. He took another look around "I know I left a fedora round here... if you see it on our way out can you tell me. I don't like buying new hats for short lived deals. It brings up a few questions as to why the hat is so new when the rest of my clothes are not. " His request was simple and he waited for emily to leave the room before shutting and locking the door.

"Well see you soon then." Eric said as he made a be line away from Emily and to the bathroom. He was a smart man, an eye patch and hat did not make him a completely different person. When he got to the bathroom he set his briefcase by the door then moved over to the last sink along the wall and he tapped on the tiles a few times. Once he found the patter he pushed down one tile along the top of the wall, two on the bottom, one in the middle, and then one on the top. Once he had done that there was a popping noise under the sink. As a result he reached under it and brought forth another briefcase. He opened it and inside was the mother of all makeup collections. It was not standard girl makeup, he had movie quality makeup. In the corner was a pair of contacts. He had to raise the eye patch to put them in and when he did his eyes went from dark blue to a bright green. After that he took out a thin powdery substance and put it on one of the large brushes. After a few strokes it seemed as if he had rather dark stubble across his face and the material made it feel that way if it was touched however it could still smear and wash off if enough force was applied. With his disguise complete he closed the kit and put it back under the sink. The popping noise occurred again and the tiles returned to their normal positions.

After double checking his disguise Edmond left the bathroom picking up the briefcase with the diamonds. He kept his head down to avoid all the cameras and got in the elevator. Once he was on the bottom floor he locked the few doors that allowed entrance and the left heading for the iceberge lounge.

"My Best Guess would be to find a Library or a policestation. Somewhere with public officials that might know something." William answered. After a moment or two he said, "I have your scent commited to memory. Don't be surprised if I show up at your place of residence to deliver the books. Speaking of places to stay. If you need one, You can use my apartment. I spend most of my time on my laptop in the walls anyway." William continued to follow the web swinging hero one jump at a time.

"True Enough. If we find a mugging or something we can try interrogation. Though if we find a bunch of thieves I'd suggest letting me take a whack at them. I just hope we don't encounter something that requires I use my main venom." William said after he landed on the side of the deli and wall crawled to the roof. He then stood up straight and looked around at the city.

"You assume I have to bite to use it..." William said as he spat globs of black gunk at each gun from above, the gunk hitting the guns and enveloping them; making them impossible to fire or to remove from their wielders hands. Then he dropped down and grabbed two of of them with his hands and a third with his tail. "You jerks are lucky. I could have dissolved your guns instead with my highly acidic main venom." Then he threw the one he was holding with his tail at the one remaing guy with a knife and knocked both into a wall in the process. "Now be civil and I won't have to resort to more violent methods," He said to the two thugs he was holging up.
