Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rave didn’t like the idea of Kalore staying with someone that he himself didn’t know very well, but there wasn’t much of a choice at the moment. Sighing softly, he nodded before calling once more, sighing again before shaking his head, muttering, “Come on… pick up…” He waited until it would pick up as Dusk was leaning against the other’s chair once more, frowning just a bit before sighing some, shaking her head. “Then we’re just going to have to do.” Sighing again, she moved as Raul hung up his own phone, sighing as well. “Edward’s apparently been knocked out…” Blinking slowly, it wasn’t long before Dusk was bent over, laughing. Even Rave had a bit of a smirk on his features as he waited for Kalore to pick up.

Sighing softly, Kalore shook his head before he timidly took the phone, whispering softly, “Only two people know my number, Monty. It has to be important.” He bit his lip before answering , “Um… yeah?” Rave looked a bit surprised by the timidity in the other’s voice before sighing softly, speaking to him in elvish. “Kalore, are you okay?” Of course that was going to be his first question. Kalore simply sighed, nodding some, “As well as can be done.” But there was nothing else spoken about it as he shifted just a bit in the other’s hold, sighing as he heard Rave. “I see… We need you and Monty to come someplace… are you going to be okay?” Biting his lip a bit harder, Kalore simply nodded. “Just tell me where to go and what’s going on and I’ll tell Monty.” He didn’t want to go, but if it was for a job…

He was listening, nodding a bit before relaying everything to Monty as he hung up, blinking in confusion. “Who’s that?” He didn’t recognize Hibachi’s name… It sounded like a food, though.

Even Raul was chuckling as he nodded some, “How strong is that boy that you have, Elf?” Rave simply smirked, nodding a bit, “Not incredibly powerful, honestly… but he’s not to be underestimated…” “Too bad he always is!” Dusk was still laughing, leaning against Kyoshi for support as she was almost on the ground laughing. Raul looked at Hibachi, sighing softly, “It’s good and bad. Edward has a wound that he was told not to reopen or else a small elf would fix it, and I take it he’s like anyone else… he wouldn’t think that the kid could do anything, for he’s not impressive and he doesn’t even have a hidden energy. But…” He chuckled softly, shaking his head.

Dusk was laughing harder as she was imagining Eldin coming out with one of his tricks that blew people away. “I bet you cash that he’s tied up right now… I bet you f*cking cash…” She was laughing harder, shaking her head some as Rave sighed. At least there was something going on that cheered people up. It even helped lighten him up just a tad.

Kalore’s eyes were wide as he watched the change in Monty, biting his lip harder once more before nodding some, “O-Okay…” He got up to get something to wear, knowing that Monty didn’t know how to navigate his drawers and closets, because he had two, so he found a pair of loose jeans, a long sleeved shirt, a hoodie, and sneakers. Normally the elf wouldn’t be caught dead in the outfit, since most of his clothes were tight fitting and hotter than hell, but one- his wounds hurt, and two-he just wasn’t comfortable anymore. “Let’s um…. Let’s go then…”

Eyes widening as Monty was acting the way he was, it wasn’t long before he was soon holding close to the other, almost flinching at the pace that they set to get to the building, but he was starting to kind of understand what it was that was going on. “What… what’s going on, Monty?” He knew that Gambler was missing, but it wasn’t hard for him to figure that out. He may not have been at his best, but he wasn’t stupid and completely unobservant. Kalore knew that looking for Gambler was top priority, but it wasn’t long before Rave had looked up, blinking slowly.

“Someone’s here.” Dusk had been grinning, speaking with Joker, “I bet he regrets it, but I bet he does it again.” She grinned more, but soon was looking confused, “I thought he had the door locked.” Rave had his head tilted a bit to the side as he sighed some, “It’s Monty and Kalore.” Raul nodded as Dusk was biting her lip a bit, knowing that Monty probably was going to flip, but then again she didn’t know him very well, and she didn’t know how Kalore was. Hopefully he was okay but… rave didn’t seem to think that he was. That worried her, but she was trying to be the one positive person in the room. For her, that was hard…

Dusk grinned, shaking her head, “I bet that he ended up tying him up, knocking him out, and is mending him back up now.” But the only reason why she kept going with this was because she didn’t want to see just how bad her friend was. Once Monty spoke to Kalore, though, she had to look and there was surprise on her face for more than one thing. He didn’t seem like himself, he looked… much different, and not just with his clothes but also with the fact that he was on the demon’s back, which wasn’t really normal for the other. At least, she didn’t think so.

Keeping close to him, Kalore had to think about that. His back still hurt an incredible amount, as did the back of his legs, but he knew that something was wrong and he couldn’t keep being babied. Giving a nod, his voice was unintentionally soft. “Um… sit down…” Rave was frowning more but soon the other was sitting down, trying hard not to wince as his form was in view; or as much of it as could be done seeing as his hair was partially in his face and the loose clothes made it impossible to see his form. “What… what’s going on?”

Kalore’s legs had been drawn up as they normally were when he was upset, but as he watched the video he was feeling himself go cold. The elf hadn’t been feeling any self pity, but just fear and pain, though what he was watching now would have made everything go away. Looking at Joker, he frowned some before nodding, looking back at Dusk and Rave. “They… You all were bound, right? Monty, Kyoshi, Joker… I mean, all of you guys were, right?” Dusk and Rave simply nodded for them as Rave soon was the one speaking. “They can’t get in all that easily, but we could. We’ve been underestimated, all of us that this man has apparently never seen before”

“We can get in and get out decently easy, me and Rave, but once we’re in… I think that just causing a good enough distraction while taking out as many of them as we can as you guys get to this dude.” Dusk was glancing back at Rave, biting her lip softly, “Well… and rave.” No one could expect the man to sit back with what was going on with his woman. Glancing over, it wasn’t long before Raul was speaking. “If we can find someone of importance other than this man in this screen here, then we could probably get Cassandra to take some of the threats out from the inside before anything else is done.”

All of them knew that they would have to work fast, but no one really knew a surefire way to get into this place, get Gambler, and all of them get out. It was annoying as hell, but it was just something that they were almost all struggling with. “The fact that we don’t know who this guy is and what he can do kinda makes it hard, Monty.” Dusk was watching him and Kyoshi both as she continued. “What do we need to know, what should we do, is there a certain way we should handle this other than quickly and efficiently?”

Sighing softly, Dusk nodded, “Okay. I will get in and out quickly. I bring her here, correct?” If that’s all that she had to deal with then so be it. She wanted to know what made this man so powerful, but… now wasn’t really the time to be asking something like that, especially seeing how upset the others were. She was looking back at the screen, touching the man’s shoulder, “Where is she now in the building?” As long as Dusk knew basically where to go, then it wouldn’t be that hard. She would have to lose half of her clothes to be fast enough, the coats and type of boots that she was wearing for silence, but also for slow movement.

Kalore was simply listening as he was biting his lip some. “What are the rest of you going to do?” Glancing over, Rave was sighing but he honestly didn’t know. The man knew that he wasn’t exactly in the best of minds, but… “Once we can get Gambler then Eldin will heal whatever has been done, and I will help as much as I can. I don’t know about the others. You’re to rest, Kalore.” The elf was glowering at his friend, “I don’t need to rest.” Even Raul was giving him an odd look, but no one from Rave’s side, or Dusk, spoke a word to the other as they were moving back to the current matter.

“I take it you all will handle this and we shall we on standby?” It was obvious that neither Raul nor Rave liked this idea, but if the man was that dangerous than it was for the best. Having everyone at their best definitely would have been better, but they could only do what it was that they had been dealt. It was going to be annoying, but it was something that they were going to have to deal with now… sadly.

Dusk chuckled softly, shaking her head, "I just need to know what room she's in exactly so that I can get there. A map or something would be of a lot of help, actually." Smiling a bit at the other, it wasn't long before she was frowning at Monty and Kyoshi both, shaking her head some at the snappish words to Kalore, and she was looking a bit surprised at the flinch that the elf gave, but the woman knew not to comment on it. Instead she was frowning more, her arms crossed as she finally spoke to Monty and Kyoshi.

"Both of you; shut the f*ck up." Rave raised a brow but was listening as Dusk continued to speak. 'This is bad, I know - - hell we all know this - - but that doesn't mean that we can just barge in there. If this guy is so damn bad then he's going to want Gambler to suffer, so he won't kill her now. Wait until he's done right now and then go in. While you're doing that, make sure he's away from Gam so that I can grab him. You two aren't getting her, and believe it or not, it's going to be hard as hell to do that." Her voice was firm and she was showing the same leadership that she had with her own group.

Sighing some, Dusk shook her head, "Call me a b***h and say that it's not my business, but guess what? It's something that's true and we need to wait. Going in there and blowing your one damn shot is just going to get everyone killed. We don't want any of you dead or hurt, but I'd rather have people hurt for a few months than dead. Now, just wait until this guy leaves the room so that you guys can get to him and I can get to her with less risk. You're the ones saying that we should stay away because he's all powerful and we'd die immediately, so why don't you help us be able to do this, hmm?" She would probably get in trouble for her words, but it was the best option. Dusk didn't care about gambler getting embarrassed or whatever, but this was the safest choice for the masses. A group together meant that sometimes you had to risk one person to make sure the rest were okay, even if that person was someone they all cared about. But this was also the best way to get that one person to safety.

"Then the two of you need to let others actually help instead being the stubborn asses that we all know you two are." Leaning against the wall, Rave was speaking as he faced Hibachi, his eyes still dark but he was unaffected by the other's look. He had thought about what it was that they could do, but he hadn't had a clue because they had been told absolutely nothing about who this man was. If they had been told and these two in front of him wouldn't have been so damn pigheaded then things would have been able to move faster, but he didn't know for sure.

"Look... this is hell, and we know it. We don't want the others around to get hurt, and we don't want Gambler hurt... damn straight I want to rush in there, kill whoever gets in our way, but if we die while we kill the others and this big shot man... and Gambler gets out? That's worse than letting her die, and we all know that. Now, something that I can do, once we know what room she's in, is have me and Dusk in that room. We won't be seen, we won't be traced. We'll see what the damage is and we'll start causing a bit of a problem around, get him out of that room. Dusk gets her out, or I get her out, and then you two, and others because you're going to need help and we all know it, get in and out, getting rid of the problem."

He sighed once more before shaking his head. "My main concern is getting Gambler out and getting her to Joker and Eldin. It's obvious that she's in the worst amount of shape, so we're going to need her to get in their hands soon. That's my first concern and then the rest is to make sure that you get whatever threat that it is that's got you all so concerned - - yet the threat that you still have told us nothing about, by the way - - gone and no longer a threat." Dusk nodded some before sighing. "Guys... Apparently this is some big demon/angel/whatever thing... but will you give us a bit more faith? Damn... come on, we can help, okay? You don't need to storm the place as a two man army. That's a quick way to get you two killed. I don't know about Monty... but I really don't wanna lose Kyoshi."
