Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Woah. Woah woah woah woah woah. We were all talking about the gate, here. Which was fine, okay. Nobody said anything about killing anybody."

In spite of the fact that B0nez had just tossed Jerry out a window.

"You said you had to wake your guy up. Wtf is this new s**t."

HP: 106

Taima, Jing, and Serafina were rating the landing on the body, and he just burst out laughing. Might as well. “Guys… ahh… he’ll be back probably.” Who was it that landed? He realized it didn’t matter, as being dead didn’t mean the same thing anymore. Not until the throne fell. He asked for another drink, finishing off the one he had.

“I guess you are right, we should know. It’s not like dying even means anything anymore.” he said in response to Serafina. It was hard to remove the fear of death he had, it was ingrained in his very being, but he was the fragment. That other self would be the one who had to worry.

Candace blatantly ignored B0nez. "I don't want to kill Harrison. He already ******** thinks I did it once before, I don't want him thinking it's something I want to do ever." She explained as calmly as she could, pointing at B0nez.

"I'm calling you a monster because right now you are one! I know what a monster is like, Rep! Both the literal and the metaphorical kind! If you stopped killing people you wouldn't be called one!" When he lashed out she instinctively stepped back, watching as Atropos quickly ducked under the reach of his claws and laid a hard kick against Rep's stomach. She pushed him away with her foot, jumping back again and backing away with Candace.

Candace almost looked horrified, somehow managing to keep her appearance in check. "Listen to yourself! You're acting more like a mindless pawn than a Hunter!"

Atropos snarled. "You touch her again and I will go against every belief she has when it comes to Hunter hostility toward one another, Rep. Calm the hell down already. You're making her insult the good name of monsters with your behavior." She was a monster, and with every cry of Rep being one she felt insulted. A look was given to Tracey. Why wasn't he doing anything?!

While Atropos was busy with Rep Candace had snuck away, keeping close to the wall until she found a large shard of glass. She grabbed it, ignoring the way the edges bit into her palm, and then ducked under the writhing wires to stab at any solid place she could find on B0nez.

Character: Candace
HP: 14/50
Damage done: 7
Target: B0nez

As Atro's kick connected he backed away, temporarily winded, tripping to lean against the wall before turning a sharp glare on her.

It was almost impossible to sway Rep once he had made up his mind to do something, and even as Candace argued with him, he seemed to only half be hearing her words. Time. Time they didn't have. He just wanted to see the door, to touch it, to see if he could hear Harrison, tell him he was there. His obsession was a white hot brand on his thoughts, impossible to ignore. "I'm no a pawn. I'm the queen." he growled,

Even Atro's comments didn't phase him. "Then ******** bring it, you are wasting my time too." the kick had hurt and he plunged both sets of claws right at her again in a feint before trying to scrabble back.

Tracey was stood not far from Rep, arms crossed, red gaze level. He didn't approve of what was happening, but neither did he approve of intervention. His morals tended to veer in similar directions to Rep, and he could see the logic in the scenario. He was in less danger than those who had taken up arms against B0nez, and stood primarily to gain if he kept his word. For the moment there was no clear logic in joining the fray. He simply inclined a brow at the other weapon.

"I'm no any colour." he said to B0nez before finally latching to a term he'd know. "Aye. Crackers. We are literally wired into this s**t. With like ******** helmets and s**t. Like the matrix. Basically its like. We are here to ******** wake you guys up. All this silver king stuff and whatever, its the system. The voice is the man."

This time though, as B0nez attacked, he did too, throwing his own assault behind the blue king's

[ENTER]

Jerry was winded, his face red but very un-splattered as he staggered his way back into the bar of the casino. "I have... to... I..." He was sporting an odd headset, something glowing sticking out of his breast pocket. He held up his hand for a moment as he leaned on his crowbar to catch his breath.

Roar was a little bit less winded, stalking behind him. "What are you snots doing all sitting around uselessly? The damn world is ending if you hadn't noticed!" He barked at those still gathered around.

"Have... have to get upstairs..." Jerry wheezed.

((Enter))

Candace was dangerously silent as she walked into the casino, her face dark and void of any real emotion. The only sound she made was the click of her heels on the floor and the rustle of her dress as she moved. She didn't even look Jerry's way.

But she was clearly a mess; her dress torn, her hair falling from its perfectly maintained bun, her makeup smudged from tears. Even Atropos looked worn, tired and dirty.

She didn't speak to anyone, not even Atropos, as she approached the elevator and pressed the buzzer for the penthouse. She had no key but Jordan was still sane. Jordan could let her in.

"DON'T REMIND ME," THe normally quiet janitor snapped, his face positively green and eyes watering behind his glasses. He had never been fond of heights. The day's adventure was a blur, but one that had ended on a completely clear and sudden note.

"Wait..." He hesitated, blinking at the card-pusher. "You know?"

"You aint a Hunter-" Roar growled, eyeing Jing warily. "And you aint either, Zombie." Roar remembered Sammy very well, even if they had never formally met. "How much you guys know?"

"Look, the... the only thing we can do to untangle this mess is follow orders." Jerry put a hand on his glowing shirt pocket. "And yes he did this if you mean threw me out the window. It might not be real but if felt real. Thank you."

"If it makes you feel any better, Jerry, right? I had two bullets put through me recently. Dying sucks, we all understand that here." She shrugged, "Yeah. When I was dead, I woke up. In a place with two pillars, one white, one black. The white one talked about an anicent king who left items of power behind. One of them got greedy, Pride. I think he's the voice, the white pillar told me what I was, showed me the real me. Some.... dead thing, with a bone arm and purple burning eyes. Said we had one more chance before we all just... vanished."

She looked at Roar next, "I'm not, maybe the real me is, I don't know, I want to find out. I don't have any orders but to destroy the throne or wait till it happens. All I want to know is who the hell I really am."

A single hand raised to reach over to Candace, hesitation, very carefully she placed a hand on the hunters shoulder frowning, "I don't know... who the real Harrison is. I only know... this one I guess."

"I've told you what I know... so what do we do now?"
