Welcome to Gaia! ::

Joker blinked. "Oh no. There can't be two utterly and uberly insane people in one group. We might kill each other." He said casually and smiled as they walked through a nice, quiet suburban neighborhood with manicure lawns and trimed trees. It all looked so normal. Things got even more normal when they came up to a two floor house and knocked on the door.

Though what they didn't know was that there was a security camera hidden there to look at them. The door clicked open and Joker walked in as if this was a normal thing. "Hello Hibachi. Come out of your hole. We need a large favor." He said, walking into the tidy and very clean living room to a basement door with a light knock. There was only silence. Then a light knock sounded from the otherside of the door.

Joker responded with his own knock. There was another one from the otherside with the door opening slowly to let a skinny man come through to look at them. The man had almond shaped eyes that were blue, a happy smile that showed white teeth and a thick mane of hair that was orangish blonde. His clothes was that of british punk but wore make up like those of the japanese visual-kei bands.

There was this energy about the man that instantly made you like him or be cautious of him. Reason being that this man was consider a God of Techology, the Emperor of Computer Hacking, the King of Programming and pretty much all other titles that made him the best of the best. "Hello Joker." He bowed to them then to the group. "Welcome." Then he looked at Jo-Jo. "What favor do you need? Is it hard? Is it dangerous? Tell me if it means I'm going to get in trouble with the governement? If not then kindly get out before I make you."

Monty almost growled at Eri for coming in but held his tongue and nodded to the other elf slightly. Breathing a sigh of relief that the man left them be, he looked at Kalore. "Where would you like to go Kalore?" He asked, thinking that going to his shed would be back yet to his house or to Kalore's house it would be better.

Hibachi blinked at everyone then tilted his head to watch them. "Am I speaking to myself or will all just stand here in my home like idiots? I have other things to do." He said, furrowing his brows a bit. Kyoshi snorted. "Like what steal secrets from organizations?" Hibachi nodded. "Yep. That and listening to the latest music coming out. So, what's the favor and is it everything that I'm looking for?" Joker thought about that and nodded. "Yes it's dangerous. The kind that you might end up in trouble or dead over." He said.

Hibachi smiled and it was unsually happy. "Then my friends come into my lair if you dare." He said, winking at Dusk then turned around to head back into the heavily dark basement with semi light. "The light is going to hurt a bit." He said, turning on bright lights that showed an amazingly large space dedicated to computers and other gadgets.

Walking over to his five screened computer he typed in a password to gain access to the web. "Tell me what you want and I will be there." He said, sitting on his roll chair and motioning for the others to take a seat. Joker smiled and almost touched something when Hibachi hit him with a kendo stick. "Don't touch anything." He growled, giving him a warning look. Joker pouted and held his hand close, sniffling.

Sighing softly, the demon nodded as he got up from the bed to get some clothes that might be good for Kalore to wear but he didn't think putting them on would make the elf feel better. No, he went back to Kalore and wrapped the blanket around him. "I'll take you home Kalore. Just bare with the pain a bit longer." Picking him up as best as he could while making sure that his towel was on safely still, he started to make his way out of the room.

Hibachi looked at Rave and smiled. "I am the Wizard of Oz, my good friend. I can get into any network no matter how advance something is. Why? I'm the one who is always on the look out for something better than what we have now. I make it my business to explore everything of technology." He spinned in his chair to type on his keyboard quickly. Each screen of his computer had a different image. Then he turned to them.

"I assume you need help in getting into something correct? I'm serious about it being dangerous because that's the only work I prefer doing. Now I need details." He said to Rave as Joker was about to touch something shinny but the kendo stick came down harder this time, leaving a red mark on his hand. "Touch it again and it won't be the kendo coming down but my sword." He said in a casual tone that was sort of scary.

It didn't take much time to get to Kalore's home. Entering the place he took the elf straight to his bedroom and layed him down very gently. "Would you like anything Kalore?" He asked, touching his cheek lightly.

Kyoshi sighed and explained what was going on in brief details while Hibachi turned around in his chair to type quickly on the keyboard what Dusk had described. Then as soon as he pressed the enter button the top middle screen showed a satellite image of the building in clear, street view. "Is this what you described? There are others but this is the only one that fits the image." He said, looking at Dusk.

Monty looked at the hand on his wrist and knelt down to kiss it. "I'm not going anywhere unless you want me to. I was just making sure that you have everything that you want is all." He said softly, taking his hand and pressing a kiss on his palm.

Hibachi shrugged. "I know the map of this city." He said, pointing to a wall that had a blow up sized of the city map with places color coded with names like the Industrial division and Shopping District. "So this is the place eh? From this it looks like a warehouse. Maybe. Or a holding cell." He said, doing some 360 visual of the place. "In order to get into their system from what your suggesting Kyoshi....I need one of you to plant something into their camera. That way I don't alert the surrounding area of my presence."

The berserker and angel blinked. "Why?" "Gentlemen," He turned around and bowed his head respectfully to Dusk, "Ladies, technology is perfect as it is flawed. I want to know specifically what they are using that might not be what everyoe else uses. If these are indeed bad guys that have stolen our beloved leader, then they will no doubt be using things from the black market. It's what I would do anyways." He said with a shrug. "You want what your asking from me this is what I need." Getting up he went to a table that had little gadgets.

Picking on that was as small as a crumb he showed it to everyone. "This little sucker is my latest invention. If you place this into the camera, it can hack into anything without being virtually detected. It can also plant viruses and malware into their system to shut them down." He grinned proudly. "I've been dying to try him out so if your the means to that, I would greatly apprecitate the help." Then his five screened computer spoke to them in a seductive female voice about in coming emails.

Smiling fondly at his computer he blew a kiss to it and started typing. "The choice is up to you all. I don't require any payment or anything, just let me in on kicking someone's a**. It's been a while since I've seen the light of day."

The demon shook his head and kissed Kalore's nose. "Look here elf, you will do one thing for me starting now. You will erase whatever doubts that b*****d has told you. I, too, thought what he said had been true when my worst fears came to fruitation when they had no need of it. I'm telling you now, I'm not going to leave you. I'm not with you because of pity. If I was Kalore, I wouldn't have cared if anyone else touched you. Understand?" Hell, the demon wouldn't have claimed the elf as his if he didn't care.

Hibachi smiled at Dusk. "It's fragile, yet if you break this one I won't kill you. I've been making a few more just in case I accidently hold it in the palm of me hand." Looking at his computer he smirked a bit as he was just wanting to show off for a bit instead of manually type things in. "Virtual Diva, search for the nearest camera and zoom in on it." 'Yes Master Hibachi.' The female voice said as the image was loading the newly requested search.

Then when Raul spoke to him the man shrugged a bit. "Gambler is the leader of this city correct? So she is my leader. I retired from the group a few years ago when my parents died in a mission. Or at least Gambler made me retire. Are you new to the group?" He blinked then shrugged as he placed the little chip into a velvet cover and handed it to Dusk.

"Your a thief eh?" Then the image of a camera that looked to be hidden near a light post showed. "That is the camera. All you need to do is," Taking the gadget out he showed her a gold part of it, "Place this end on it and then I will do the rest with it. Sound simple?" Placing the thing back in it's cover he looked at Rave, Raul, Joker and Kyo. "You four are staying here correct?" Kyoshi and Joker nodded.

Monty shook his head and layed down with Kalore, holding him close. "I'm not going anywhere Kalore. Just rest. Try to sleep and think about that peaceful place where no one can touch you." He whispered softly.

Hibachi sighed and then typed something into the computer when the screen turned from the still frame of where the camera was to a live video feed of that spot and the surrounding areas of that Camera where Dusk is supposed to place the thing behind the electronic. "Would anyone like some green tea or sake?" He asked looking at everyone. Kyoshi raised his hands and went up stairs to go find it. Joker rolled his eyes then looked at something else that was shiny.

Without blinking, Hibachi had a sword pointed at Joker's neck. "I said no touching my friend. That is very valuable and hard to create." Joker stilled and pouted. "It was shiny." "I know most electronics are." Then he pointed for Joker to leave. "Don't came back until you have behaved." He scolded.

Monty sighed softly and closed his eyes. It was going to be a long and hard process in order to get Kalore back to normal. Hopefully he was given the chance to help otherwise he would let the only other person that can get through to Kalore and that was Rave.
