Joker nodded. "I would be honored to have you join my team. Who knows, maybe you'll introduce some new techniques that will work better than what I have made up." And the insane man was serious about that. He would definiatly give a good position for Eldin since he knew his job better than most.
Nodding, the blood bag was finished but he didn't order for Gambler to be moved until Rave came near them and looked at her. "Her body is taking the blood so that's the good news. The bad news is....Well it's something but I won't know until I take her to another room and examine her fully and get a full analysis. Plus, I don't even know if she was attacked by those beasties. If she was then that could be the bad news." Though since Joker didn't know that Gambler had been under the gaze of the Soul Stealer it was going to be hard to know. "Rave...I need you to be with me when I examine her fully. I don't care if she hates your guts. I need you for moral support. She needs you."

Rave frowned as he sighed softly, nodding, “Then… then I shall stay.” He wanted to, he wanted to be there for her, but he knew that the woman wanted nothing to do with him; that alone killed him. Sighing softly, he leaned down, watching her as he spoke, “We can move into the main bedroom. It’s large and you’ll have enough space to do whatever you need to.” Dusk glanced over, nodding some. It was her home but… Gambler needed the attention.
“Hibachi.” The girl came to him, leaning against the table, “Is there anything coming now? Were we able to get everything?” And was Kyoshi coming back anytime soon? With her brush against the Soul Stealer… she was a bit paranoid now. Kyoshi was on his own and though Sin was gone… what if there was something else that was out there? What if there was something that was worse? She wanted him here, now, and she wanted him to just get his a** over there before she hunted him down herself. Dusk wouldn’t say any of this, however… no, that was something that she definitely couldn’t admit. Not as a queen, at least.
Eldin smiled just a small bit but began to stand up, getting some of the supplies, “She needs to be moved off of the floor… We can work better in there and away from everyone else…” He checked the woman, nodding some. Gambler was becoming stable, but she still was far from healed. “What all caused this damage, Joker, sir?” He looked at the insane man, frowning more. What could hurt the woman like this? She didn’t even have her wings out like the last time that he had done a major medical work on her.

Joker looked at Eldin. "That's a good question." Then he looked at Rave and pinched his cheek. "Look, Meanie Head, this is your woman and if your going to let her get to you and let her push you away then you don't know sh*t about women." He picked her up and moved Gambler to the bedroom they said they could place her in.
"Come on Eldin. I'll tell you the secrets about angry women." He said, already ignoring Rave as he place his boss on the bed and brought the blankets up to her chest. "Go get me some towels and something to drink....Make it a hard liquor. I really need to have my head straight to see the damage done to her...again." He said, shoulder dropping and praying to the heavens Gambler pulls through this again.
Blinking some, the wizard of tech snapped to it and clicked away to get the answers for Dusk. "Nothing. Everything is A-Okay." He said, making a hundred percent sure that nothing was moving. "I think you all succeeded in killing everything. Good job."

Rave slapped away Joker’s hands, his eyes narrowed before he walked with them. He would be there for Gambler, but he was beginning to get just a bit more annoyed than he had been before. Shame was something that was over him, something that wasn’t going away yet, but there was also… hope? It seemed like the woman was going to make it but as they entered the room and Eldin began getting the things, even the drink, Rave didn’t know what to think. He sat between the two, out of their way, watching Gambler carefully. He wanted to help her… so badly he wanted to help her. Reaching out, he gently stroked her hair like what he had done so many times before, his eyes saddened. If Gambler made it through this… he would take whatever beating she wanted to give him, but he wanted her back in his arms, needed her.
Nodding some, Dusk ran a hand through her hair. “Alright… that’s good… Um… where’s Kyoshi, though?” She glanced around, frowning some more. Her color was beginning to come back, though she didn’t have much to lose beforehand, but… still. With the silver in her hair, she felt even paler and it looked like she had been scared; which was true but… it hadn’t caused the damn silver. “I need hair dye…”

Joker sighed and started up the IV again for Gambler, leaning close to make sure that her vitals where normal, or as normal as they can be. "You know her eyes look dull. I'm going to check for reflexes alright? If she doesn't respond to them then her brain functioning if offline." Which was putting it nicely. "I need you to talk to her Rave. Please? It's like coma patients. Tell her you'll bend over and let her kick you for being such a male or that you'll beg on your knees or something." He said, waving his hands around. "Where's that liquor? I need a big bottle of it."
Hibachi clicked more and sighed softly. "Don't worry about your man, Dusk. Kyoshi is stubborn as an ox so no doubt nothing can keep him from you. Knowing him, he's a**l about making sure nothing that doesn't belong in this world stays in it's place." He said, as Nyx came up from the cells and went to help Joker with some stuff. "While your waiting for the young elf to get you the things, go check up on Monty." She said. Joker nodded and started to walk off but stopped. "Rave...Your in charge of Gambler. You know her best of all." He smiled slightly at the elf and walked off.

Rave looked away for a moment before he sighed, taking his place beside the other as he stroked her hair slowly, “I… I am not sure on what to tell her…” He didn’t like not knowing what to say to her, but slowly the words began to come as he rested against the bed that she rested on. He told her about how stupid he acted, how he wanted to just have her back, even if it was just to hurt him. Rave would take anything that she gave him. “Just come back…” His words turned into elvish, more out of habit than anything else, but they flowed, emotion obvious in them even when one didn’t know the language.
He didn’t notice the man leave the room, speaking softly to the other as he continued to stroke her hair, shaking his head every now and then. Come back to me. I’ll do anything, just come back to me, Gambler. I promise you, anything you want, anything you wish me to do, it will be done in an instant. Rave rested his head against her arm, his emotions wrecking havoc on his body as he continued to shake his head, wanting nothing more than to bring her in his arms, keep her there forever. “Please… Gambler just… just wake up… even if It is to tell me to leave you be… just… awake…”

Something sparked in Gambler's mind. It was tiny brain activity after having the connection between her and the Soul Stealer was interrupted, causing her to enter a type of black out that could have left her in a coma. However something sparked that recognized that beautiful male voice that caused her heart to contract in a kind of pain that wasn't really heart break at the moment.
It hurt like hell as if someone stabbed her in the chest and shredded her heart. Oh wait, that's exactly what happened. How the hell was she still breathing? That was a good question since she was thinking that maybe she died and went to hell to be in the same room with Rave. If that was her punishment then....Well better Rave than Sin. At least Rave was a smart man to never raise his hand to her in violence because she wouldn't hit the man back. He was beautiful and against her moral code to harm a beautiful man.
No, that was a lie. She did hit him. Frowning slightly she had to think about why she hit him. Thinking through the thick fog of her mind she only got snippets of why she hit the man. That much she remembered but the rest was now fuzzy because of her attempt to give Sin her bad souls that she's collected versus her own. While trying to think, her fingers were twitching to move. Not this crap again. Move your freaking big toe so you can tell everyone thank you and good bye She growled at herself.
Joker walked down to the cell and checked on the demon and frowned. Why was Monty's skin so cold? It was that unnatural cold that only dead bodies had. Wait....The insane man looked closely to check the demon's pulse and everything but...."Holy sh*t." Monty was.....
After having finished making sure that everything holy and unholy was locked away in their own realm, Kyoshi came back to the palace. The man ran back because he wanted to make sure that Dusk was alright. He knew without a doubt that Dusk was a strong woman and that she could handle anything that was thrown her way but there was a part of him that wanted to reassure her that everything was fine. He wanted to hold her to make sure that she was still real and warm and let her know that he loved her. Yeah, he loved her and would be pissed off at the world if he or she were taken from this world so soon.

Looking up, Rave touched her hair again, stroking it slowly before he leaned down, pressing a kiss to the woman’s forehead. “Gambler… I shall beg if that is what you wish… Come back to me… please.” If only to kick his a**, he would handle that and he would take anything that she wanted him to deal with. As he leaned down, his breath came slowly as he rested his forehead against her shoulder, speaking softly to her again, just trying to do something so that he could get her attention, bring her back into the world of the current living. Hopefully she would come back… she had to. Who else was going to pinch his cheeks and dare call him adorable? No one else could do that without him getting angry… he wanted her back, damnitt!
Dusk was pacing one o f the side rooms of her suite, sighing softly as she had covered all of the mirrors. Why was her hair gray now? Okay, it wasn’t gray, but black and white… She felt like a freaking skunk! Actually… Sniffing herself, she groaned before she went to go get something to wear, looking through the clothes. Seeing as things were doing okay for now, it wasn’t a bad idea to get clean… that way she could go out and reach her public, reassure them that everything was fine before she began to rebuild what had been destroyed by Sin. With a soft sigh, Dusk thought of all these things, entering the shower as it distracted her from her own vanity. A bit of hair dye would get rid of it, anyway.
He didn’t know why he had to, but once he put away the majority of his weapons, Kalore began to just wander around the palace. He shouldn’t have but… he ended up down where Joker was, his eyes widening before he began to walk away. Joker had said that he didn’t want others to see Monty and surely he didn’t want to see the man that had tried to kill him but… Biting his lip, something in him tugged. Looking over at the direction that Joker went, he followed, standing in the doorway before he paled. “Monty…”

Kyoshi walked through and looked around at everyone that was there. "Where's Dusk?" He asked, the only thing that was on his mind other than his two friends and thirdly everyone else's well being. Looking around he frowned. "Where the hell is my woman?" He growled, getting twitchy, b*tchy and anxious to get to her.
The woman's hand twitched at what Rave said. Beg? Your going to get on your knees and beg for forgiveness? Your going to pretend that your last woman never existed in hopes that I'll be like her? Forget that....I want more....I want penance Her mind growled but deeper down her soul she didn't want such a proud man to do something like that. He was a strong male and only weak men did that.
Trying to move her lips the only thing that was able to be formed was a barely audiable "No." No, she didn't want Rave to do that. If anything she'll just try to get better, sneak away into the dead of night while everyone was asleep and leave Rave to have a better life that didn't involve her in it.
Joker jumped and looked at Kalore wide eyed. "No Kalore. Get out....GET OUT!" He snarled, getting up and pushing the elf away from seeing the lifeless demon. The demon couldn't be dead yet. He didn't get a chance to do CPR and he didn't have a AED to send a shockwave through his heart to get him to live.....Damnit he didn't want Kalore to see this....

Kalore allowed himself to be pushed away, touching his heart with a hesitant hand but when the door closed he did nothing but lean against the wall, sightless. Monty couldn’t be gone… surely he wasn’t gone. The fear that had been placed in him was giving way to something else, something that was much stronger than the false memories that Eri and Sin had forced in him. Closing his eyes, he sunk to the floor, shaking his head again and again. “No…” No, the demon wasn’t dead… surely not. Kalore bit his lip, hard enough to bring pain and blood to the surface, but he stayed beside the door, not knowing what else to do. Could he somehow help the demon? Not that he knew of but…
Head snapping up, Rave looked surprised, “No…?” What was she saying no to? He frowned, leaning forward a bit as he moved some hair out of her face. “Gambler… I…” What was he supposed to say? He didn’t know but as he took in a slow breath, he just talked, “I apologize, Gambler… I… I acted horribly to you… I should have treated the situation more… carefully…” Stroking her hair, he looked down, unable to actually figure out what it was that he wanted to say. Sin was dead, but that wasn’t something to share at this moment, Eri was dead and was the cause of Lucien and Isabelle coming back… but he didn’t want to share that… So, he spoke softly. “I… I still love you, Gambler… More than I thought possible, I love you.” His head was against her shoulder again, “Just… Please… I beg, my love, even if it is to do no more than to get back at me for causing you pain, come back to us.”
Harley rolled his eyes, as did Ziggy. They both pointed to the room where Dusk was at, but Talon spoke, amused. “I think that she would hit you for that comment…” Dusk had never taken well to being anyone’s anything. She was her own person… something she made sure everyone remembered. Did she love Kyoshi? Of course. Was she his? Eh…

Joker did the CPR but got no response out of the demon. Covering his face the insane man sobbed silently. "What the hell?" He cursed to himself. "Of all people...." He got away from Monty's body and went to the enterance where Kalore still was. "You....You can't be here Kalore....Go tell everyone that we lost...one." Joker couldn't look the elf in the eyes as he was feeling the loss already.
Shaking her head slightly, Gambler was forcing herself to respond. It sucked being paralyzed like this thanks to that idiot Sin. Yet that man was placed out of her mind when Rave spoke to her. Awww, the man can be so sweet when he wanted to be however Gambler wanted to let out her two cents before she can fully regret pushing the man away who still have a hold over her heart. "No...beg....." Didn't the man know that begging while she wasn't up and about just didn't have the same affect? Men didn't know anything about anger women.
Kyoshi shrugged and walked towards where everyone pointed. "I don't give a damn. She can do whatever she wants to me as long as I know she's safe." With that he left everyone to their own things to get to Dusk who happened to be taking shower if the sound was anything to go by.
Acario laughed. "I will never understand that stubborn fool." He said but then stopped laughing when a dirty cloth was thrown at his face. Twitching he ripped it off his face and glared. "How dare you..." Nyx smirked. "I dare, sweertpea. Oh how I love to dare....Now since the fight is over why don't you make yourself useful and leave. It's the only thing your good at doing." Acario scowled. "In case you forgot, Nyx, I can do more than that, like say make you scream."
Nyx raised a brow. "You mean, make me giggle? Sweetheart you can't even make yourself scream." Hibachi was watching with interest. "This is better than soap operas." Now he just needed some popcorn while Acario tried to come up with a smart aleck come back. "See? Your just like any other man...Worthless to the core."

The barest of smiles appeared on his features as Rave rested his forehead against hers, nodding, “Then I will not beg…” He didn’t know for sure what else to do, however. “I will get Eldin…” Lips so close to one another, Rave wanted to press them to hers but… ah hell, he would anyway. The slight pressure was given as he kissed her, leaving to get Eldin. It didn’t take long for the man to begin working on her again, noting the paralysis. “I’m afraid that I’m not too sure on what to do here… Get Joker?” Rave nodded, “I will send for him.” He walked out, leaving Eldin to his work. “we were worried, Miss Gambler… especially Sir Rave… Can you speak? Do you need some water?”
Humming softly, Dusk was washing her hair, sighing softly. She didn’t know if the other was coming to her or not, but she had calmed down since she had last been around everyone. Her hair still annoyed her, but now that it was wet it was harder to notice; thankfully…
There was a look of interest on talon’s face as he walked over to Hibachi, watching the two as he glanced over, “Why they hate each other?” Not that he was complaining… already he was beginning to get annoyed with Acario, but maybe he was just biased… Nyx annoyed him, but she was good in battle and had helped them out. Acario… he didn’t know; he didn’t go near him during the fight. The comment about all men, however, had him twitching some, “Hey now…”
Kalore paled before he shook his head, a hand clenching his heart to the point where he saw nothing but black for a moment. Monty… was lost? No… He scrambled, pushing past Joker as he dropped beside Monty, tears burning his eyes as he touched Monty’s throat, his chest, his forehead, anywhere that he could as he tried to get enough breath to speak. “M-Mon… Monty…” He was crouched down against the demon, shaking his head again and again as he gripped the man’s shirt, trying to keep him close. Words came from him quickly, mixed in elvish and common speak as he continued to shake his head, speaking too fast for most to understand. He wanted him back… he didn’t care if he really did burn him, hated him, wanted him gone… Kalore just needed to have him back. He needed him here. “Please… dear Goddess, please…”

Gambler slowly opened her eyes but flinched at the bright lighting in the room. Or maybe that was just her. Yeah that had to be it. Moving her lips more she promised herself that if she spoke and moved she would indulge in a ice cream binge to take the hurt away and beat Rave with a pillow. The woman was still soft towards the elf even if she was pissed off at herself and the circumstances that made her weak in ruining a good relationship.
Moving closer, Kyoshi smiled and leaned against the sink counter. "You hum nicely, Dusk." He said, casually waiting for Dusk to jump and yell at him for surprising her. It was better than jumping her in the shower where she could have slipped and fall and beat him some while down.
Hibachi blinked and chuckled. "Do you really want to know? It's going to sound dramatic." He said to Talon, watching as Nyx got Acario down on the group, on his stomache in a serious head lock and turning purple in less than five seconds while Nyx proved that men were the weaker species.
Regaining his doctor composure, the insane berserker walked into the room and pulled Kalore away. "Stop Kalore...I need you to go up to everyone and tell them that we lost him. We need to get his body out of here to be prepared." Joker choked on that and covered his eyes. Why was this so hard everytime he lost someone?

Noticing her reaction, Eldin frowned before he went to turn off the light, sighing softly. “Just… Just wait there, Miss Gambler. You don’t need to push yourself anymore.” He smiled a small bit, shaking his head again before he checked her vitals again, nodding in approval. “You heal wonderfully, Miss Gambler. Sir Rave has gone to get Mr. Joker and he will know more about what to do. Can you nod for me?” He didn’t want her to talk, but now that she was awake and responsive, he would need to see just what all the woman was actually capable of so that they knew the extent of this damage.
Dusk jumped, catching herself on the shower wall as she hissed, “You b*****d! Don’t sneak up on me like that! Especially after all this crap!” That jerk… he should know better than to do something like that. However, the comment had her smiling just a small bit, rolling her eyes. “Whatever… Are you coming in or what?” Actually… she didn’t want him to… What if the new hair bothered him? A thought went through her and she had to look down. Did hair… everywhere change?
“Very much so…” Talon grinned, covering his mouth as he laughed at how easily Acario was pinned. Then again, Talon was smaller than both of them… but he was faster as well and he didn’t want to be large and bulky, anyway. There were very few guys that could move fast and remain like that; Zaine having been one of the only ones that he knew of… “And that still doesn’t make men inferior, Nyx…”
He didn’t mean to, but Kalore lashed out at Joker, shoving him away as his nails nearly bled him. Collapsing against Monty, he wrapped his arms around one of Monty’s own arms, something that he had done so many times before… before all of this crap had happened. Why was Monty like this? He couldn’t be dead… “N-No!” Tears continued to stay on his cheeks as he shook his head again, unmoving from the man that he lo-… that he cared so much about. He couldn’t say love, couldn’t think love… no… not now. To think of that now… the tears only came again as he was huddled against himself, not caring who saw him like this. it wasn’t like everyone had the best opinions of the dancer anyway, so why hide it?
Rave had walked down to the cells, but he froze as he heard the cries of his friend. Frowning, he quickened his pace, standing at the doorway as a long slow came from him. He knew what had happened before he had to ask. “Joker… Gambler is awake and responsive… go help Eldin…” Rave would see if he could get Kalore at least… calmed.

Gambler wanted to scold Eldin for using Miss in front of her name when he didn't have to do that. After all she really did care for the young man like she did her twins since they liked him like a brother. It was easy to see him in that light. Shaking her head some she moved her fingers. "No..." She said to Eldin when he told her not to push herself. Gambler had to or else she'll just give in to that darkness that was lurking inside her that wanted to take her spirit away so she would end up as dead as Monty.
Which sadly the demon was. Joker didn't react to be lashed out at and sighed, trying to get himself even strong in emotion to peel Kalore away from Monty's body. Taking one step closer the man stopped when Rave was there. Blinking he nodded moving away, standin next to the dark haired elf. "I want him removed from the body so that I can take it back to Area 6." He ordere, slowly walking away, dragging his feet in sadness.
Kyoshi chuckled as he took off all of his clothes and entered the shower, pulling Dusk quickly against him before she could punch him for freaking her out. But before he could say something cheeky he noticed that her hair was different. Blinking some, he touched the part of it that was white. "Trying out a new style?" He asked. If Dusk was, then it looked good.
Nyx flicked Talon off and started to bang Acario's head on the floor with ease, yawning as if bored. Which was since the man didn't do anything to fight back to show that he was a weak man in the end. Hibachi shook his head. "Well, you know how the Amazons are a legion of beautiful women who are strong right? Okay, the only way for them to continue their kind is to obviously have children, girls especially, to train and carry on their bloodlines. The only way to breed strong children is to sleep with strong men."
He watched as Nyx threw Acario up and gave a nice high kick to his head, making him fall back with a grunt, cursing her and making her mad some more. "Anyways, when the amazons have girls they keep them and when they have boys they send them to their fathers. In this case that didn't happen. Since Nyx is one of their best females she had to sleep with Acario who is considered the strongest male neighboring them. So, it happened and she gave birth to a son. Nyx however didn't want to part with the little man and ever since left her tribe of amazons to raise her son. Acario on the other hand wants the boy to keep up with tradition and wants Nyx. She doesn't want nothing to do with him since he sleeps with anything that has breasts, something that Nyx doesn't like. So, since she hates that about him, she also hates that he doesn't pay child support." Hibachi opened his mouth but was sucker punched by said woman.
"Telling people about my business eh? How about we tell them about your big mouth that was broken by me?" Nyx snapped, making Hibachi cower. The amazon gave Talon a piercing cold gaze. "You keep that tongue in your mouth, fireboy. Unless you want me to cut it out and feed it to the dogs. I suggest you mind your own business when your not concerned." With that she walked away from them, moving past the hurting Acario and giving him one last kick before she walked away from all of the commotion.
