Welcome to Gaia! ::

Was that... a compliment?
Jake might of died a little inside.


.. Right. They still had a job to finish.

"Yes sir." he responded, lowering his head.
After all that happened today, he was going to finish this damn task if it was the last thing he did.

Without another word, he turned around and walked past Ofelia, completely ignoring her.

lksdfjslkdf sorry Zoo, typing BBcodes in general are a pain (reason why I usually never tag on it) and I know my name is no exception. Q__Q
Thank you for rping with us though! ; u ;

He was almost out the door when he tripped over Ofelia's foot and dropped the minipet.
Why Ofie, why. STOP MAKING HIM LOOK BAD IN FRONT OF CAEL

Thankfully, he had caught himself before he face-planted on the floor, and the arctic!pom seemed too miserable to run away and now just sat on the floor mewing pathetically.

Jake shot a look at the onion!pom before pushing himself up.
He was done. SO done with you two.

Picking up the arctic!pom again, he made his way back to the labs.

Reaching the labs, he opened one of the cages and shoved the arctic!pom inside, ignoring the fact that sticking it in a tank with another mini probably wasn't really a good idea, but with its current tank broken, it would have to do for now.

Having done that, he turned around and faced Ofelia.
"What, you mean that he wouldn't hesitate to disarm a hunter and possibly kill them should he desire?"
He scoffed.

He may be new, but he had seen plenty enough during their last mission (and pretty much his first) to know that the dead lead wasn't one to screw around. He took his job SERIOUSLY, like a hunter should.

"Besides, why should I be listening to you? If I remember correctly, he did say you were an incompetent intermediate hunter."

Waving his hand dismissively in the air, he proceed to head out of the lab to locate the last two minis.
Hopefully they hadn't dissipated yet.

"Yah, and you know the beautiful thing about the word incompetent? It applies for ALL RANKS. As I said already, this had nothing to do with you. In fact, it was YOUR fault this happened in the first place, you incompetent hunter, and I doubt Caelius would approve of me following the orders of a defect."

He only smirked at her.

"Oh, I'm sorry, your incompetent highness, or should I say, Ofelia incompetent Tanner?"
Seriously, it was his new favourite word now.
And he may or may not be acting like a 5-year old

Stepping out of the life labs, he crossed his arms and looked around.
He... honestly had no idea. It was tempting to suggest splitting up, but somehow, he had a feeling the stupid redhead would tag along anyways.

"Hopefully not another one of the head's office."

Really. Caelius was plenty enough for today.

Said spar would have to wait, because Jake was on a mission.
A mission to finish this damn task that he had never wanted in the first place, and would probably be forced to write a stupid-a** mission report on.

He REALLY hated mission reports right now. And minipets. And Ofelia.
And well, this whole day.
This whole day SUCKED.

Taking a hesitant step forward, he looked around, wondering just where the heck he was supposed to look. He hadn't been here all that long, and didn't know all the places that well yet.


What?

He paused, straining to listen.
There was a very faint mew and...
he squinted.
Was that... a flicker of light?

Not bothering to wait for Ofelia, he rushed ahead, running toward the source of light.
The next thing he knew, he found himself in some large furnished room.
What... was this place?
Where did that damn minipet go?

In stark contrast to the rest of Deus Ex, it was apparent that this room wasn't like the rest. For one, this one had several pieces of furniture: couches, chairs, tables. All of them were mismatched and looked to be in relatively good condition considering what Deus Ex was like. There was even a large runic TV, however it was currently turned off. Some of the tables had outdated magazines scattered on top of them. All in all, the room seemed to be comfortable, inviting, and strictly off-limits to Jake and Ofelia.

This latter bit was made apparent by the hunter that was glaring at them. "I take it this belongs to you?" Aria asked as she held up the behemoth pom by the scruff of its neck. She had her weapon drawn, and did not look pleased to see them.

Ofelia skidded in behind Jake and nearly knocked him over as he stopped. She turned to look at the voice and narrowed her eye, trying to place it, when her face broke out into a large grin. "Oh, Aria! Long time no see, thanks fer catchin' that fer us!" She said, obviously being unable to read the mood or situation. Either Ofelia was a bucket of eternal sunshine or she just refused to believe people could be angry at Deus.

"How ya been? Haven't really had a chance ta speak wit'cha since that time in the library. Well, Ah have seen ya out on missions an' all. . . " Ofelia was blabbering but she didn't take any steps to get closer to Aria without any provoked reasons. Instead she thought for a second before extending out her arms for the minipet. "Anyway, thanks again fer catchin' it, we've been tryin' ta round up a few that got out on accident." The redhead didn't mention broken cages since she didn't think either of them needed to get into more trouble. "We'll get 'em off yer hands an' be on our way b'for that things melts or whatever."

Dodging the bullet with Caelius had been more than enough for one day.
