Welcome to Gaia! ::

Outside, Quint landed quietly near the open door of Gatz', barely catching Rioushu's last sentence. He wanted to enter, but climbing down would surely catch everyone's attention. He wordlessly racked his brain for an answer, suddenly spotting the response to his quiet quandry, in the form of a small lizard Quint spotted walking down into the base: A Gecko.

With use of his alchemy, Quint made pads for his hands and feet made up of synthetic setae. These pads allowed the gecko, and now Quint, to walk upon most surfaces with ease, it using neither liquids or gases to adhere to applied surfaces.

One small test run to see if it stuck, and then Quint was subtly descending down the wall. He would have to be extremely vigilant from here out, as one sound would probably aggravate Aonice's trained ears, effictively thwarting Quint's stealthy sortie.

Rioushu growled as he watched Aonice leave. "Not as pitiful as your sex life lately! Zing!" Rioushu said smirking, then blinked and looked around, obviously alerted. "Odd, I could've sworn I just felt something on the walls..." Rioushu said suspicously to himself, then shrugged. He then looked to Aonice who was still not out of the hatch yet. "I thought you said you were leaving, come back to apologize?" Rioushu asked mockingly.

"Nah, I'm not interested..." Gatz said. He gave an appologetic shurg. "It's against my policy to actively collect dirty pictures of the people I interact with on a regular basis. Besides, if I wanted that sort of thing, I'd just check out the folder Bleu has on my computer."

He clicked on the 'up' button for the folder, bringing up a set of folders which all named after the girls on the island. The thumbnails on the folders showed that most the girls were in some state of undress--if not something even more scandalous. The title of the main folder was 'Bleu's Fav Piccys <3'.

"You see what I mean?" he asked, shurgging as he continued to inspect the screen. "She's really into this sort of... oh, so that's where she keeps the ones of herself." Gatz smiled as he glanced at the folder labeled 'Me'. "I was kind of wandering where they were..."

Aonice quickly caught the bolt before it hit the ground, having fallen right at her. She squinched it in her hand and looked up with a mischevious growl.. She quickly chucked the metal object at Rio's diverted eyes, then darted up the shaft with a powerfull kick, gripping the ladder half way up, only to kick off again. She jet out of the hatch, and quickly tackled the black shadowy figure, whipping for a kunai.. "Who the hell do you think you are?!" She asked violently, attempting to pin the figure to the ground with a push from her legs, holding the kunai to it's neck.

Aonice's movements were so fast, Quint hardly had any idea what was going on until he was outside, a knife at his throat. His bats slowly gave way of what was his hood, his short spiky hair giving an idea of who he was.

Chuckling nervously, "Hey. Um...I can explain?"

Rioushu heard the voice and sighed as he looked down at him, smiling and shaking his head. "Quint, you better explain, Aonice hear doesn't have too good of a temper, trust me, I'd know...wait a minute, I can still hear the computer from over here..." Rioushu said, then went deep into thought. His eyes widened and he looked down at Quint, his eye twitching. "You were going to tell Morrigan about those pics weren't you?" Rioushu said, getting a dark look in his eye.

"It wasn't my inital plan to tell Morrigan what's here.." Quint started, "I wanted the pictures for myself, but when I heard that there's a lot more where those came from.." He smiled while resting his hands under his head, "..Let's just say that changed."

That was a lie. He knew that he wouldn't tell, because that would mean no more new pictures. But he would keep them on edge, just to keep things interesting.

"So, what does that mean for me? Are you going to let me go...or..?"
