Raven entered Mr.Fiach's shop, calm and messy as his typical lifestyle was. Again, a simple jeans and a simple shirt - nicely tucked for once as he was wearing a sweater over it. The only difference were his shoes. New shoes, yep.
"'Ello Mr. Fiach"
As he met the man once already, his shyness barely came into play. His eyes ran trough the room as he closed the door, taking a good look at all the people that were there and hoping that he'd recognise a few of them.
There was that one loud-mouthed girl, and he thought to recognise another too. Two people.
"Better than no one at all, for sure", he thought as he slightly relaxed.
"We came, as you asked. We have a few things to share aswell, but seeing the amount of people I think I'll keep that for another time. How are you doing?"

Violetta peered over towards the food, about to grab some for herself- you could never have enough food!- but quickly restrained herself when she heard the other's girl's response, suddenly feeling greedily guilty. Her brown eyes then drifted towards the other girl, who seemed about ready to have a panic attack, and then took note of a boy who just entered. Thinking hard, she realized...
"Hey! I know you! And you!" she exclaimed, pointing first to the girl, and then to the boy who just entered. "But I don't think I know your names. But you don't mine yet,either- or, at least I don't think you do, right?- so it's ok!"
Kristian let out a small sigh and gently grabbed his sisters arm, which caused her to look at him for a moment before letting her arm drop to her side. "Oh, I forgot," she gave a sheepish grin, "it's rude to point. Sorry, strangers and Mr. Fiach!"
The older boy, achieving his goal, gave a slight nod and then looked over to a far off corner of the room, ignoring the food and the new boy, and avoiding eye contact with everyone around. Honestly, he didn't really have that much of an idea of why he was even here, though judging from the panicky red head's actions, he'd assume there was a considerable threat to hackers who came from the store. Still, that had nothing to do with him... he'd rather get rid of his hacker in all honesty, though considering the attitudes of those around him he could tell this was not the appropriate place to express his feelings of disdain towards the creature that had taken over his computer.

Fiach smiled softly at the girls' insistence that it was his food and he had been up longer than all of them. His thoughts shifted slightly at how much his friend Sionce had been up, and how much he could really use some rest, but he quickly turned his attention back to the present. "I have more in the kitchen, so its not a bother at all, really."
Taking a sip of his tea, he shrugged, he wasn't quite sure how the Rabbit kept running, as he'd only been given a brief rundown of the situation over the phone. "The hacker as some of Sionce's personality in it, so I'm afraid it will run and hide as much as it can from us. But if we can capture it for good, Sionce will be able to make a full cure." A gentle smile touched his lips again as he tried to keep the girl calm, "So let's focus on the positive of this situation - the chance to find the cure - rather than the fact that we have to chase after it, all right?"
As he watched the girl hide behind her hair, he worried about her. He wasn't sure how to take care of a girl that was crying, so he hoped that she wouldn't start. Awkwardly, Fiach placed his hand on her back, attempting to be comforting.
Seeing Raven approach, he smiled and raised his free hand in greeting. "Hello Raven, its been a while." Tilting his head at what Raven had added, suggesting the need to get together sometime to discuss in private about his hacker, he nodded. "Of course, after this is taken care of we'll take a look at the appointment schedule and see what we can do."
A small laugh escaped from Fiach's mouth as he saw Vi's attempted nabbing of the food, and her chagrined refusal of it. "You're more than welcome to some, Vi." Smiling warmly he gestured towards the kitchen, "There should be a baking rack in there with more sweet bread, and a tea kettle on the stove with hot water for tea." He couldn't help but give another laugh at her excitable nature, though it could be a nuisance at times, it was a nice break from the recent problem.
Nodding in the direction of the boy who had come in with Vi, he raised his free hand again, still leaving the other on Aya's back in an attempt at consolation. "My name is Fiach, a pleasure to meet you."
Glancing at those who had gathered, he gestured towards the monitors. "Sionce will be with us via webcam from his store, Trisste will meet all of the hackers in Cyberspace to begin the Hunt for the Rabbit. For those of you with questions, feel free to ask them now. Otherwise, you can go ahead and load your hackers into the mainframe so that we can begin."
Smiling at all who had gathered, he added a quick, "And of course those of us here will be able to monitor the hackers' progress and," glancing at Vi as he added the last, "have as many snacks as we like."

Suki, still half-asleep, woke up at the loud ringing of her alarm clock. As she would do everyday, she followed her morning cycle. Wake up, fix bed, walk to the bathroom, brush my teeth, wake up, update schedule, check PDA, she thought. As soon as she almost smashed her broken alarm clock for it to turn off, she stood up and brushed her teeth. After she was done, she wore whatever she can lay her hands on.
"Sigh...Another regular day, following a regular schedule..." she thought. "I wish something exciting would happen to me. Nothing much really happens to my life, with the exception of Satoshi coming to my world, of course." A sweet smile appeared on her face while she took her PDA and opened it.
Her jaw dropped as she saw Satoshi. Eating breakfast seemed to come out of her mind, for she just ran down the stairs and pulled out her skates.
Immediately after reaching the end of the street, she turned left, where she saw the building that brought excitement to her life. As soon as she saw it, she rushed to the elevator and up to Fiach's office.
Before she knocked on the door, she took a deep breath to calm herself down. As she entered, she tucked in her skates and sat on the chair before the desk. As she flashed a grin, she said "Hello Fiach. Long time no see, I presume." she reached through her pocket and pulled out her PDA. "I assume you know what I'm here for. I just wanted to ask if something is wrong with Satoshi." Her smile faded as she looked at Satoshi.

Blinking a few times in the direction of the bedraggled girl, Fiach slowly recognized her. "Oh, Miss Suki. How nice to see you again." Coughing slightly as he tried to think of a fast response for the obviously panicked girl, he gently responded, "We don't know for sure. Right now there is a very high probability that all hackers are infected."
Gesturing towards the computers, he added, "If you would like to join them in the search for the White Rabbit, the anti-virus, please hook your PDA to one of those computers. Satoshi will then meet up with Trisste, who will guide him in searching."
Tilting his head as he looked the girl over, he couldn't help but have to ask, "Have you even eaten breakfast yet?"

Raven laughed.
"Yes, I recognise you too. From last time. I'm Raven, it's an honor to meet you."
He walked over and gave Violetta a kiss on the cheek, his usual way to greet a girl. It was a habit. Seeing the older guy next to her, he offered his hand to shake it before he looked for an empty spot to sit.
"Oh. Well, that's the 'other thing' I wanted to mention. Except for Enya - which I bought here - there's another adult Hacker that roams my laptop. Except for her name, which is Thyra, and the fact she loves to pester Enya, I don't know much about her. However, I'd feel guilty if I let her with the odd disruption her and Enya have caught lately."
He opened his laptop and woke it up from it's stand-by modus. Quickly two fractals showed up. Enya, the little indianred Hacker and a white/blue Hacker, obviously older and with a different shape than Enya.
"The blue-white one. That's Thyra. If it's possible, I'd like them both to search for the White Rabbit."
He connected his laptop to the Cyberspace and waited, seeing how Thyra claimed the exit first by pushing the little fractal aside.

Aya had been comforted by the hand, it was needed though obviously placed with less assurance then most. But she didn't care, it was the thought that counted, she thought the girl was adorable, and was sure she recognized her as well. She had listened more then watched for the time, and had been able to keep her tears in check. Now was not the time to panic, her babies needed her, and she needed to help them in any way she could. Standing here like she had already lost them wasn't going to help at all.
She put her hands down, and lightly pushed herself from the wall. When Fiach looked at her she smiled, and brushed the hair out of her eyes. "Thank you Fiach," She placed one hand on his shoulder, and then kissed his cheek momentarilly. It only lasted a second, then she had turned to pick up her jump drives. "Well, the sooner we start hunting, the faster we will catch this cure."
She tightened her fist, and sent the group as a whole a fleeting smile before she went over to one the empty computers, and began to download her babies. When she had explained their situation, the two little hackers disappeared together into cyberspace. Every time they left she worried, and now, she was even more on edge. Leaving the drives in the computer, she turned and faced the room, her features set, and unreadable.

A laugh of delight escaped Violetta's lips as Raven greeted her, the young girl obviously amused with the way he said hello to girls. In response to the quick kiss, she grabbed the edge of the plaid skirt she was wearing and gave a curtsy, "I'm Violetta, it's nice to see you again!"
Upon hearing Fiach's comment about the food, Violetta was oh-so tempted. However, luck was on th red head's side and right before her temptation won over, a new girl, looking slightly panicked, came into the shop. Both Vi and Kristian turned to look and check out the entrant, Kristian looking away quickly while Violetta let her gaze stay for a few extra moments, taking in th details. This girl looked so familiar, too!
Soon after Fiach got down to business, and they all headed over tot he computer. Skipping at a quick pace, she pulled out her laptop while she moved, and set it down next to a computer. Yanking on some cords, she did her best to figure out exactly what to do.
Kristian, on the other hand, did not respond so well to the friendly greeting over Raven, just barely shaking other boy's hand before shoving his own hands back into his gray hoodie's pocket. It was nothing person against the boy- Kristian just wasn't good with meeting people, or being around people in general. When the new girl entered, he looked her over for a brief second before turning back around, not sure exactly what to do. Violetta recognized most of the people here, but Kristian was swimming in a sea of strangers and was rather unsure of how to act. Sighing inwardly, he slightly wished that at some time during his 18 years on this earth he had taken the time to develop social skills. (Just slightly though, of course)
Once the shop owner- Fifer? Or something like that, he hadn't really been paying attention- had told them what they needed to do, Krisitan slowly followed his younger sister over to the computers. Seeing the young girl struggle to get her laptop hooked up, he swiftly took the cords from her and plug them in appropriately. Looking down at the laptop screen, he got a quick glance of Vi's hacker, Aiko, and his own nuisance, Terra, before they entered cyberspace.
Before Terra left, he gave Kristian a quick glance and cocky smirk,
"Is that a promise?" Kristian mumbled back, his face expressionless.
The hacker just smiled back and followed Aiko into the portal.

Nodding in answer to Raven's question, Fiach smiled in his direction. "Of course Thyra can join Enya in the search."
Glancing down at the girl he'd set his hand on, he caught her small smile, before she stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. Momentarily stunned, Fiach could do little but stare straight ahead as he sat there and wondered why she'd done that. A slight blush crept onto his face as he realized his reaction was rather silly, and he returned his attention to the other customers. Hoping they hadn't seen her kiss his cheek - or his subsequent twitchiness for the brief moment it had happened.
He watched as the hacker owners set up their hackers in the system, and felt a vague sense of jealousy that they all had a companion that was with them always. Shaking his head as if to knock the thought loose, he sat down to sip his cup of tea as they watched and waited.

Suki tried her best to calm down. At last, after a few more thoughts of an answer to her questions, she calmed down. "What will happen to Satoshi if the problem isn't solved?" she thought "Will he not be cured forever?"
The horrible thought she just blurted out was quickly forgotten at the thought of a white rabbbit. Her thoughts were completely ruined when her stomach grumbled. As she clutched her stomach, she said, "Yes. I'm afraid I haven't taken any breakfast yet." She waited for Fiach to respond before she hooks Satoshi to cyberspace.

"Violetta. That makes things easier, at least we know each other's name now", he said smiling to the girl.
Seeming the boy didn't overly enthousiastic to greet, he left him be. He took it the guy wasn't really good in social contacts, or didn't wanted to talk. He looked quite quiet from the first moment Raven had entered the shop after all, and Raven's personality had that tendency to reflect the way others acted towards him. Even if the young man himself rarely realised that.
His eyes rested on the girl once more.
"You know, when this entire virus-thing is over, maybe your Hacker should meet Enya. They're about the same age, if I'm not mistaken. You never know they get along."

Melee frowned at the unfamiliar voice on the other end of the line. Sionce... She mouthed the name to herself, phone tucked against one ear as she ran a brush through her brown tresses, yanking viciously at the knots. No, she didn’t recognise it. Adalia’s brother maybe? Colleague?
Her brow furrowed as the message continued and she pulled on the first skirt in reach, fumbling and cursing at the various buckles. Virus, huh? It was just like Fleck not to say anything. Though she often teased him about acting like an old man, these past few days the hacker had been waspish and even moodier than usual, stalking silent and stiffly across her pc monitor. Brooding.
“Fleck,” she called, snapping shut her phone, “We are going out. To Adalia’s shop to see what is wrong with you. Why do you not tell me these things, honestly?” She muttered several choice phrases in Korean before shrugging on a vest and digging up her PDA. “Jump on, will you?”
She glanced down, not quite able to keep the fondness from her gaze as a brown and gold figure settled into the corner of the screen. He glanced up sharply at her before looking away and crossing his arms, words flashing across the white chat box that appeared beside him. < Have you been sleeping? You look awful. >
"Nothing a little make-up won't fix," Melee grinned, too used to his grumpy concern to be affected.
It was a lightly masked and sunglassed Melee that stepped into Fiach's store soon after, faltering at the unexpected crowd inside.
"Damn," she muttered, looking around for a queue, assistance, or at least someone she recognised.

Glancing over at the girl named Suki, Fiach frowned a little. He had a tough time handling people who were panicked or distraught - especially girls. Smiling in a way he hoped was comforting, he said, "Don't worry, we'll think of something."
A small chuckle escaped his lips as he heard her stomach rumble. Gesturing once more towards the kitchen he added, in his lilting voice, "Please, help yourself. There's food and drink in the kitchen."
Looking up and noting a girl standing near to the entrance and looking kind of lost, he stepped towards her, hoping his size didn't frighten her. Clearing his throat as he approached, he fiddled with the penny whistle around his neck before introducing himself.
"My name is Fiach - may I help you?"

"Ah..." Melee blinked rapidly, looking up at the man who'd stepped close, and now dwarfed her. She rocked back slightly but caught herself, allowing him a smile.
"I know you," she said in her usual soft, unassuming manner. "The man on the answering machine." Her smile widened. "You should have left your name. But I think you can help me-" She slid a silver PDA from her vest pocket. "Oh!" She met his eyes suddenly. "I neglected to introduce myself. Melee," she offered, sticking out a hand. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Fiach."
A shape flickered across the screen as her PDA, now clutched in her left hand, came to life. Fleck pressed close, his face ominous and disproving. He gave Fiach a suspicious look, the cursor blinking rapidly.
< ...You shouldn't talk to strangers, Melee. >

Suki clutched her stomach a little and smiled. As her sweetest smile escaped her lips, she said, "Thanks you very much, Fiach." At the thought of her baby being safe, she managed to calm herself down. "Actually," she said, "A cup of coffee do sound nice. Thank you very much for your offer."
Seeing that Fiach is accompanying someone else at the moment, she decided to plug in Satoshi to cyberspace before getting herself a cup of coffee. As she took out her PDA, she walked to where the computers are and plugged her PDA to one of them. After plugging her PDA, she went to the kitchen to ready herself a cup of coffee
