Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tori was waiting for her.
"I see you found it." she said with a chuckle. "Here." she took it off her hands, then put it on. "There's anothert thing I need you to do. This is more of a test, than a task... but it's also nessecary. My student, also known as the Good Doctor, set his lab in the remains of the Faction base. After Papyrus killed him, he left behind numerous important articles and documents. I need you to find one named 'Project Arrowhead' and return it to me quickly. If anything gets in your way, kill it."

[[Yeah. Same here...He was my best friend.]]
Justyn wandered a bit around in the bushes and trees near the restaurant, careful to steer clear the windows. Two familiar scents were there. It was nagging at him where he had recognized the scent, ever since he met Charles. And of course, the other was Cat. He continued on, passing right by, still unseen, still avoiding the windows.

"Hmm...Cell phones are tricky. If he has it off you will never reach him, especially if he's busy. If he doesn't have it on he will not stop to think to turn it on, or especially a dead battery." He gave an indicating frowning face in almost a joking manner. Saying it, but not trying to be wholly negative about it, almost.

He was waiting for her to ask his policy on honesty. After all, he had made sure not to tell a complete lie to her, because those could be seen right through sometimes despite the utter effort put into convincing the other person. By telling it in a way that wasn't entirely false, he was always spared the one tiny detail. "Well of course I would respect honesty, but there are just those times that lying could save your life...Can't exactly say that it's for the better, that is, to just save your own behind. A prisoner, for example...if he's tortured, he may be spared to say the plans of his team, however it's a serious blow to the team, whereas also if he lies about the plans, maybe he buys himself enough time to be rescued without telling them anything. And as a third option, lies and tells them he knows nothing. Usually they're killed rather than even attempting torture, to which they eventually may be tempted to crack, but a small sacrifice for the team. However, I'm still not saying any scenario is right, it's a catch-22, much like all situations that envoke lying."

True enough: Most. Not the case here, though. His intentions to draw out feelings of liking him did not have anything to do with hurting the Faction, or Justyn, like most have thought. The fact that Justyn was her boyfriend was only revealed after he planned to date Cat.

"Well, I guess it's not so much that, but a case of would you rather them keep torturing you, or offer a swift, painless death? And you might never know. How can you tell what you would do in a situation you've never been in? To be honest, I would probably spill under enough pressure. There's where I'll never lie. I won't say I'm tough enough to take it. I guess that's why I wouldn't lie if they tortured me...It's sad how weak some people can be, especially when you realize you mean yourself." He took a deep sigh in sadness. Or at least that's what it looked like. "But there's alternatives to such cases. Like myself, I just make sure that I don't know anything, I tell them don't let me know what's going on, don't let me know what you're doing that I don't already know. Basically that keeps me safe as well as them, because then when asked what do I know, I can honestly say 'nothing,' whatever consequences it brings."

The waiter came by moments after he finished, holding a pitcher and the appetizer. "Refill?" he offered. They were good to spy that she was going to be done with it quickly, one of the reasons that it was such a great place to be, even for someone on a tight budget. The menus weren't all expensive stuff, but it had the best of it in addition, and the attire was lenient. It was unusual to have a bad crowd here. "Yes, I'll pay for it," added Rick. There were never rowdy drunks even, no rough boys, the talking was at a decent level. A suitable place, though probably not the best. If he took her to the best place, then she might inquire where all the money came from. "Are we ready to order?" asked the waiter in response. "Unless she objects, I think we'll just take a minute on the appetizers."

Serenity ran as fast as she could. She ran down the streets not paying attention to what was going on around her. She had tears running down her cheeks as she stopped in front of Tori's. She stood there trying to catch her breath before she knocked on the door lightly.

Serenity sat down on the couch and handed Tori the papers. After Tori had taken them she covered her face with her hands and all the suppressed grief and anger surfaced as she burst into tears. "I didn't fight I ran." she whispered.
