Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Just now I did because it's obvious I'm not helping anything. I told you that I'll support you in anything Dusk. I will even if it might put me out of the city. I'll support you in anything you put your mind to. I know that you wanted to yell at her. It was in your eyes, I saw it. For another why do you care what I think? It's like you give a damn what those council members think too or the rest of the population. Do you really base every decision you make on all of their thoughts? It's sounds like they are pulling your strings than the other way around."

Kyoshi watched Dusk, not moving his spot no matter what. "If you think that our relationship isn't strong enough to handle these damned issues, then why in heavens name are we still together? Why do these things have to interfer and relate to our personal relationship? I've done very well in separating them on my end but why would you think this would get through us? I know I'm an outsider here, I know I'm not an elf and they really don't like me. They can accuse me of bringing in those spiders, I don't care. But you? I love you Dusk. I love everything about you." His gaze softened as he watched her.

"Your still not listening to me. Your the leader right? Then be the leader and do what's right without having to ask permission from anyone. The people have to look up to you for guidence, not those smucks in the council room with their pompous attitude breathing down your neck and anticipating a mistake. Damnit Dusk..." He murmured softly, taking a cautious step towards her with a stark expression, "If you give this sh*t up to Rave, you only played into everyone's hand and showed that your not up for this task. Aren't you the one who bangbangbang your pops? Aren't you the one who can put a powerful seraph in his place and bring him to his knees with one look?" He pointed at himself.

"Aren't you a sly, cunning thief who has her way even when I don't want you doing that stuff anymore? Then why can't you step up seriously to this? Yes Gambler threw a curveball your way however you can either hit it out of the ball park or let it miss striking you out. What are you going to do?" He wanted to risk getting his a** kicked by her and hug her to him, especially since he doesn't hit women, even if they deserved it. Dusk however could hit him and he will still be there for her. "Dusk, your a damn Queen. That's bigger than being a council member and a nobody. You have the power to do great things."

Joker chuckled and nodded, moving out of Kalore's way to shower and change in his room. Hopefully, this went without a hitch. Especially when the storm building up outside suddenly broke with a light misty rain that had a cold bite to it. Maybe with this rain it will help with obscuring Kalore. It just might work this plan.

Kyoshi came closer to Dusk while she was talking and touched her cheek lightly. "The point out of all of this Dusk is that your doing what you think is right whatever the pace it's been set at alright? This is one out of how many? You can handle it." Leaning closer he kissed her forehead. "Actually, I have seen you look out the window. When you don't notice I watch you alot." He smiled slightly. "These things can never get in the way of us. That's just dumb. Now, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Joker rushed out of the room, hopping on one foot to put on his last dress shoe to meet Kalore. "Woa. You blend in well Kalore. I think Monty would have murdered me if he saw that I covered your blonde hair. I think he had told me once that you have the best shade of blonde." Joker smiled, running a hand through his unruly hair. "Alright, we are making good timing. Let's head out. I have all the rain gear to protect us from getting sick." He motioned for Kalore to follow him back into the garage towards his car. It was almost time to lay the dead to rest.

Kyoshi laughed and wrapped his arms tightly around Dusk. "I don't think Gambler will be willing to kill a tree for that kind of thing. I was thinking that taping it would be better or something." He said, stroking Dusk's back gently, taking the scent of her from her hair as he closed his eyes. "Then since that's on hold, what do you want right now?"

The doctor shrugged. As soon as both men were properly in the car he pulled out into the light rain and started to head out to the far north, past the center of the city that was full of people with umbrellas, past the business district towards a winding path where the cemetary was located.

It was a large, gated place that had the cemetaries neatly arranged with different types of tombstone with flower being drowned out from those who visited their loved ones, some had teddy bears and other items special to those dearly departed. Up ahead there was a large tent that was placed for the grave with the coffin where a number of black cars lined up in park next to the grass where a gathering was happening.

Parking behind the furthest car, Joker reached in the back to give Kalore a large umbrella for him. "This will give you cover and whatever you do, let me do all the talking. They ignore me most of the time." He said putting on a rain hat and jacket in black and walked out with a umbrella. Moving around to cover the door for Kalore to have a chance in opening his umbrella to walk over to the tent.

Kyoshi grinned mischieviously and started to walk Dusk backward towards her very comfortable bed. "Your Highness, I must break away from royal protocol and remove that dress from you." Even if the door was locked or not, he didn't care. Hell, the man was secure in his birthday suit when he got down to it that if someone entered to tell the Queen something he was still going to be focused on her. "Now, then, turn around for me so that I can save this dress rather than be a savage and tear it off." Kyoshi winked, stealing a kiss from Dusk.

The insane doctor nodded as he lead Kalore to th further side where he spotted Gambler giving hand shakes to those that were just coming. Joker and Kalore were in black so it was possible for them to get past her and he personally would go say hello to her. "No. They are not to be here while Gambler and Kyoshi are still around. Just like Sin wasn't supposed to be around having his family here would cause worse trouble. If Gambler is not herself, then no doubt she would put the world into a war with them." He whispered softly to the elf, motioning for him to stay under the tent in full view of the cherry wood coffin, large enough to hold Monty.

The tent was semi lit with light orbs to give a soft glow of light to be easy on the eyes and to give enough light for the coffin to be seen as well as the grave with a simple tombstone that said "R.I.P." There was no name, no endearment, nothing to tell anyone that Monty the fire demon and prince of hell and king of being a jerk layed here survived by no one who cared enough other than a special elf.

Anyways, Joker told Kalore in hushed tones to stay where he was, giving him the name of Gideon and walked away to stand behind the group of men, giving their respects and standing with the others, hand shaking. "Hey Gambler." Gambler stood there in a suit of solid black with...sunglasses that were large and very dark. Not even the light from the orbs shadowed anything. The boss took Joker's hand and nodded. "You brought your friend?" He nodded. "Yeah, I didn't want to leave him in the office or in my house while I'm getting ready. Plus he had his own suit for our up coming meeting so...He didn't mind coming along."

Gambler nodded and motioned for Joker to go back under the safety of the tent and followed. Standing next to the coffin, she looked at everyone who was there. Joker stood next to Kalore who she assumed with Gideon and gave her the cheesy two thumbs up. Gambler's lips quirked slightly as she looked back at the group. Resting a hand on the coffin she smiled a little more.

"Thank you all for coming. I know most of you have known the demon for quite some time and are wondering where the priest is to do the ceremony. I have to tell you, I don't think Monty would have liked it if I brought a priest here. Rather than give a few words of comfort he might end up throwing buckets of holy water on him. No doubt right now he's turning in his coffin." She patted the coffin gently earning a few chuckles and amused nods.

"I won't take up most of your time but, it saddens me to have to bury another comrade. I've known him for almost all my life. In some respects I considered him a great friend even when wanting to cut my head off." That earned a few more chuckles. "Despite his flaws and the mask he held on in front of everyone, deep down was someone honorable. Someone who wouldn't dream no matter how tempermental he was to harm someone who didn't deserve it especially towards the weak. Monty was an accomplished warrior and someone who was up for any challenge. A daredevil." "He was a good cook too!" Joker shouted out from the crowd, earning some nodding.

"Well said, Joker. He was a good. Literally. I think a better cook than Joker." "Hey!" Joker crossed his arms and grumbled, "I'm now better than a dead guy." Gambler chuckled and patted the coffin. "Anyways, I can stand here all night to tell you all the good that this demon has given even when he didn't want to however he would want this short and sweet. I only ask that we all give him a moment of silence to look back on our inteaction with him. When your finished with your silences and prayers you are free to leave to your vehicles and head to the resturant for a meal that I have planned out." She said with a bow of her head and moved away to the very back to watch everyone do as she asked, the silence enveloping them completely to respect Monty.

Gambler watched as everyone was slowly leaving. Most murmured softly to her as she nodded at them, murmuring back soft words. To some she wanted them to wait in their cars so that she may go with them back to continue their meetings. They were never ending. Yet they needed to be done before everything else was set into motion. Yeah all this just to do one thing.

Mentally shaking herself, the woman watched this Gideon place some on the coffin, watching this male's movement. The way he moved seemed familiar. It was more graceful than any male she has seen walking. Not only that but it was highly odd for Joker to bring anyone with him anywhere no matter the occassion.

That was alright she walked over to the coffin, placing a red rose in the middle. Motioning with her hands a small group of men picked up the coffin, with some difficulty and lowered the coffin into the earth and started to throw the dirty over it. Sighing softly she turned and walked towards Joker, taking his hand. "Joker. Go ahead and take your friend to the car and out of this rain. But come back to my car so I can tell you something important alright?"

Joker blinked and nodded, looking at Gideon. Gambler did too. "Thank you Mister Gideon for coming and giving my comrade a parting gift to take with him. I'm sure he will apprecitate it." Giving Kalore a long look she turned to walk back to her car, some cars leaving while others didn't.

The insane man waited long enough and watched Kalore. "Come on. I don't want to keep you out here in the cold rain."

Gambler sat in the back seat of her car with her driver up front and another male next to her. He was seated in the dark, completely shadowed as the clouds became thicker and made the night seem to fade into a pitch black world. Joker followed and frowned as he was to wait outside while she looked at him through the window, showing only her sunglasses. "Something you needed Gam?" "Yes. There is something I want."

The silence followed and dragged on. "Well? What is it?" Gambler leaned close so with the window going lower so that he could hear her clearly. "I would like for you to leave Area 6 right now with your friend. Since I never told you about my new rules, it's only fair to let you still live as well as this Gideon." Joker didn't flinch of blink, he didn't even get pale. "So...Right now? Will I have a chance to get some things?" "No. Now would be fine." With that, she closed the window and ordered her driver to drive off.

Joker was left there in the rain, getting wet despite his rain gear and walked back to the car, entering it but not looking at the elf he had been trying to hide. "Kalore? There's something I have to tell you." The elf was going to hate his guts and think Joker was worthless to help anyone.

Joker sighed and dropped his shoulders. "I failed you. I'm sorry Kalore. I'll take you back there but I don't think after letting this happen can show my face. I totally messed up." He said, banging his head against the steering wheel without flinching or feeling much pain that one normally felt when doing that hard enough.

"I don't want to be a burden to you guys." He said, starting to drive away once he stopped banging his head. Then again he did promise Kit he would visit and smiled. "On second thought, let's go to Kit. I promised I would visit and this might be a good time to do that." Sure he was leaving his practice but that was going to be taken cared of by Gambler despite her wanting him to leave.
