Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Jesus Christ, Raid. How you no damn manners? All of you? What the hell?" A female voice came from the far dark corner of the room. She was about 5'4, dark brown eyes that looked black and held wisedom and dark brown hair. She had a light spanish accent that made her sound exotic and she had that exotic look. Wearing a black suit with opened buttons at the top, she looked like a true businesswoman or a mob boss, which ever came first. Walking over next to the man named Raid she crossed her arms, looking at Kyoshi. "Man. You haven't changed abit. So, what's up?" She said. "There has been a..." She raised her hand. "Yeah I know. Damn it man. Be at peace, Kyoshi. You and your female are in no danger..." She looks at Raid. "Right Raid?" Raid only grunted. "Anyways, who's the chick? Does she drink? Because I need one. Raid, you tire me out with your attitude." "Like yours is any better." Raid muttered under his breath. "I love it when I get to kick your a**. So much fun." She grinned. "Please sit down." She motioned them to towards to chairs. Looking at Dusk she did a lovely bow and straighten up. "They call me Gambler. Nice to meet you." She gave Dusk a welcoming smile.

Gamblers eyes twinkled. "I don't think so, Senorita. Not with me will you fool me." Kyoshi looked at her perplexed and she met his gaze. "Seriously? You old fool you don't pay any damn attention. Let this be a lesson to all of you men, you must pay very close attention to us females." "Why?" Said another who had the looks of a model and a sharp italian accent. "Because even the best of us can fool you with the slight light in our eyes. Enough lessons." She threw her hands in the air. "So, let me introduce you to my guys, this Italian Stallion is Casanova, because well....he's that good." Gambler coughed lightly. Kyoshi rolled his eyes and Casanova grinned and winked at Dusk. "These two quiet blonde twins, are Ivan and Hans. Both of them are the deadliest russians I have ever encountered. Then there is my Joker. He's abit on the insane side but if you want clean cuts then you go to him. No, there is no relation to the Batman villian. You have already met Raid, my charming Raid with the manners that the King of England would envy." Raid glared at Gambler but didn't say a thing. "Keeping up that look and you will sleep outside in the cold and heaven forbid you leave the comfort of my warmth." Kyoshi was wide-eyed at Gambler. He had never heard her speak like that. "Last but never least, is Monty. He's the man you go to for anything weapons. Then there's me, Gambler, formerly known as Isabella de Valentines of the Seraphs. Kyoshi, dear, don't look so shocked. Did you really think I would go against my comrade? Hell no. What ever you need I'm here. Just give us the run down on the situation in detail and who ever you need gone, poof gone like the wind." She chuckled at her little joke. "Seriously guys, where are the drinks? I can't talk business with no drinks. What would you like?" She asked Dusk.

"Excellent! Casanova make the Mojitos!" She began shooing the charming italian away. "As you wish boss." "And this time don't forget the mint leafs!" Looking back at Dusk she sat down next to her. "Anyways, how is it that you know my Kyoshi? I'm sorry if I come off as abit defensive but after what happened to him along time ago." She snorted softly ignoring Kyoshi glare of doom. "You know, you and Raid have the same angry looks only Raid is upset that Casanova was...what's the word I'm looking for?" "Amazing? Incrediable? Irresitable?" Casanova called out from another room. "Yeah we could with those words. Anyways, tell me about yourself and without Kyoshi saying anything. Don't make me mute you Kyo-Kyo."

Casanova came in with a round of drinks for everyone, even one for Kyoshi and passed them out. Gambler drowned her Mojito and clapped her hands in appaules for Casanova. "This was good. I'm going to need alot more though. I have a feeling this is going to be a big job of the ages, and I'm willing to bet on it. Which is how I got my name. I would like the usual who, what, where, when, why and how. If it's too personal, then you may speak to me in private. My men never understand that "female thing." How do you like your drink? I have others if you would like." Her accent getting slightly stronger.

Kyoshi took the Mojito and drowned it as well. This was going to be a long night for everyone.

Gambler winkled her nose at Dusk. "Humans can't make anything strong these days. I know why he's here. It's about you. I am the only other besides these men that he trusts. He has come for my protection for you because this is my city. Of course, when you leave for a little vacation outside, people think they can take over. If you do not want to say anything, there is no pressure. I myself would like to keep some skeletons in my closet but that baboon over there insist I do a spring cleaning." She pointed at Raid. Something passed over Raids features but it was too quick to name. Kyoshi noticed it and knew what it was because it was the same sort of look he had given Dusk when she doesn't look at him. "Now, it is up to you if you want it." Kyoshi stood up and loomed over the small figure of Gambler. The men got defensive, whipping out weapons of all sorts, Raid personally twitching. All the while Gambler looked at Dusk without flinching. "What are you doing?" Kyoshi growled. "Back off The Goddess." Casanova said with red eyes glowing. "Oh I think I forgot to mention, these men are all demons. Besides, Dusk has a say in this. Had it been anyone else I would have turned them away. Now calm down or you will be sleeping outside in the cold with Raid until you both play nice."

"Oh no. Kyoshi is a terriable story teller. He would never start with a 'Once upon a time' and end with a 'They lived happily ever after.' His problem is that he never tells anyone the whole story. Just two sentences and thinks that's all we know. Now sit down or the rest will sleep outside and I'll just have to find someone else to keep me warm." "But Goddess...Kyoshi tried to...." Casanova pouted in a way you couldn't help but go 'aw.' Monty just stood back, eyeing Kyoshi carefully. Raid backed off, seeing that it wasn't a direct threat to Gambler but a defense for Dusk. The twins sat down with Jester twitching. "As I said. He seeks protection...and insurance and allies. For him and for you. "Who is after you?" Kyoshi sat down, tense.

"Ohhhh. Si. I know." Gambler stood up and began to pace. She has been through it all. Had it not been for Raid helping her out in the las few centuries, she would still be in hell, and not the actual place either. "Well, that speaks wonders. You see, I am only half Seraph and the other well the not so holy kind. That my friend is a damn rare thing among our people because it's an abomination for such a union to occur. Kyoshi is half too but that is his story to tell should he chose to. Elvish? Your an Elf? That is so cool! I never met an Elf. Kyoshi you sure do know how to pick'em, no?" "Gambler please. Do you have any information on rogue Seraphs?" All seven pairs of eyes stared at Kyoshi. Gambler was speechless. The others stayed quiet. "That was who blew up my apartment and buried my Kiseru." "The one I gave you? Oh hell NO! I'm going to rip that fool until...." She began to mutter curses left and right in spanish at an unbelieve speed. Raid came up and held he back, whispering in her ear to calm down. Looking at Kyoshi and Dusk with a serious expression. "What did the Seraph want?" "He wanted a woman, and it's no question that he wanted Dusk. His body is still at the ruins of apartment building."
