Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ali blinked, “You’re mean to him.” Her eyes widened and she giggled as she sat down next to Gabe, smiling widely. “Or… Are you like Mr. Kyo? He was mean to sissy but liked her so…” She blinked, watching Nyx for a moment. “Do you like Talon?”

“Check with Kalore and see if he’s seen him.” Ziggy blinked, not knowing about what Kalore had been through just the day before. He sighed some, glancing to the side. He probably needed to get home… “I think that I have to get to my sister, though. But, Nyx is watching her… Is there anything else that you might need done, Kyoshi? I’m out here and I told you that I’d help… and as long as I’m not in Ellwood then…” No, actually, now that he thought about it… “Actually, I can get in and out of there without being seen… so, even if it’s going there.” He blinked, “Do you think that Gam’s going to somehow block cell connection to over there?” Was that possible?

She wasn’t totally sure on what to say to all this… but soon Kit sighed and shook her head. “Joker…” Touching his shoulder, she gave a small smile to him. The woman was beginning to understand more on why the man was helping her. Leaning over, she kissed his cheek softly, shaking her head again, “I know that you’re not going to do to me what they did, alright? Just calm down.” She kissed his cheek again. “Turn left up here, alright?” If he did so then he would see modest homes but with big back yards, some with heavy trees, some not, but the one she wanted was in the way back, with a bunch of trees, and a small bit beautiful house. And it even had a basement.

A small smlie was on Kit's face as she listened to Joker. it seemed like he enjoyed her taste and that definitely made her happy. Smiling more at him, she pointed, "Keep going this way. I don't know if the house is still for sale but... it's the one that I've wanted for a while." She blushed a bit, smiling some more at the thought. But soon they were there and they were looking at the one story house, a basic one bedroom home but with a large backyard and detailed borders around the windows, doors, and it was just.. charming. "There's a full scale basement too... so... would you like to see if the sign's out there for nothing?" And it was for sale.

Kalore didn't want to have his phone on him, but as he and Rave sat on the bench beside the grave of Isabelle Carae, neither really moved when it rang. After the third ring, Rave finally spoke, "Will you answer it, Kalore?" The blonde glanced over, sighing some as he nodded. Sitting there for over an hour, Rave and Kalore had had a long time to talk and figure out just what was going on. Unlike what he thought... Rave wasn't angry. He had thought that he would, but this emotionless voice that he had actually worried Kalore more than Monty's own death. "Yeah..." Picking up the phone, his voice was monotone as he spoke, "Yes, Kyoshi?"

For a moment, Kalore didn’t speak. His ear twitched as he listened to Kyoshi and he had to wonder what was on the other’s mind. Something probably happened… Why else would Kyoshi, of all people, call him? He continued to stare out before him for a while, however, before he nodded. “I did find him, yes.” Rave glanced over, raising a brow as Kalore nodded to him as well, “Kyoshi.” Making an ‘ah’ face, both soon were just looking again. Both men were lost in thought about something, something very similar, connected, but at the same time, completely different. Kalore spoke nothing else, though, as he just waited for what the other had to say. There had to be a reason on why he was calling…

Glancing in for a moment, Dusk raised a brow, watching Kyoshi. “There you are…” But watching his face for a moment, she tilted her head to the side, moving so that she could sit beside him. “Who are you talking to, Kyoshi?”

When Joker squealed, Kit jumped, her ears covered quickly before she grinned at the other. “I take it you like the house…?” She laughed some, watching him do the acrobatics before she shook her head. She couldn’t believe how agile the other was… but soon she nodded again, making her way to the sign so that she could see just where it was that she was going to have to call so that they could get the house. Soon, her phone was in her hand soon and it took only a moment for her to get the realtor on and it wasn’t long before the haggling for price began.

It was hard to pay attention to the other person on the phone as she was watching Joker, her lips nearly splitting into a grin. Shaking her head, she focused on it and nodded some, “That’ll be fine. Yeah, call me when they answer.” Kit placed the phone in her pocket, walking over to Joker; the conversation had been a bit long and it was completely in elvish but… oh well. “Someone else is interested in the house, but we’re in competition. I think… going in full price would be the best, but do you want to spend that much on it?”

Kalore was ready to hang up when the other was quiet for as long as he was, but the question came up and he and Rave both raised a brow. Rave overheard, answering with his smooth, emotionless tone, “She has personal walls? Such a surprise…” But Kalore nodded to him, “Well?” Sighing some, the man sat back against the bench, slouching almost until one noticed that his spine was still straight; some habits just didn’t die. “Well… other than keeping her in one place and breaking her, the only way that we were able to communicate to one another as easily as we did was… because we just spoke.” He had to think; what had it been that they had done?

Rave sighed, “A way? I truly do not know. Being around her, gaining her trust by just being there and becoming reliable. I am not too sure that it is something that is possible now, however, with how false her mentality is right now.” Did Rave know about what all had happened? Yes, he did. Did he know everything else? No. but the phone was to his ear and he relayed the information to Kyoshi. “Why do you ask?”

Neither Rave nor Kalore flinched at the curses that they were able to hear, just blinking before the man came onto the phone and both shrugged. “Goodbye.” They hung up and went back to just staring. Both were lost in their own thoughts quickly, not thinking about much of anything besides the fact that they were both… lost. Kalore couldn’t get his closure from Monty and Rave couldn’t even talk to the woman that he loved. They didn’t know what to do other than to go back to work but neither of them knew if that was even an option. For Rave, yes it was. For Kalore? Probably not.

Jumping at the action from Kyoshi, Dusk looked confused before she groaned, touching his hair as he hung up. “Kyo…” she frowned, leaning over to kiss him softly. But no more words were said from her, however, as Dusk simply stroked her hair. It wasn’t like she really knew how to fix this, but she definitely was against Killing Gambler. Until the woman did something that was horrendous and actually deserving the attention like that, then she would be. Was she angry with her? Yes… very much so. Would she deal with it? For now, yes, she would. For now.

Surprise was on her face as Kit continued to dance with him, shaking her head. “A few hundred thousand? Joker, isn’t that a bit overkill? How about… if you want to go over, then maybe ten thousand, but that seems like a little… much, right?” That’s what she thought at least. “But… I’ll call them, tell them that we’ll go at full price. If that isn’t good enough, then we’ll pay more.” She smiled at him, leaning over and gently kissing him. “Yes, though… this is… this is insane.”

Dusk shook her head, moving so that she was sitting on the rest, bringing Kyoshi’s head to rest on her lap. “Hush you… I’m the one that’s turned gray here, but you’re turning it faster than I did.” She leaned down, kissing the crown of his head before she sighed again, still stroking his hair. “Kyoshi, I don’t think that there’s anything that we can do right now until Gambler does something that deserves more attention. Laws… Laws are laws and every country has them and has the right to deny access to those that they wish.”

She shivered some, worried about that. “Now…. If she does something that will truly hurt people… like if she actually does end up killing someone over this… then she will be stopped. Right now, though… just…” Dusk shook her head. “Just see but um… what did he say, Kyoshi?”

Laughing as she was dipped, the woman grinned at the other as she leaned up, stealing a kiss from Joker. “I’m not that beautiful… But I’m glad that I’m what you drool over, and not money.” Another laugh and it wasn’t long before she was answering the phone call with one hand, nodding and bargaining before she grinned widely. Still dancing a bit with the man, Kit was focusing more on the call before she gave a sriek of delight, nodding some. As she hung up, Kit hugged him tightly, “We have it.”

Kit giggled, keeping close to him as they landed in the grass, laughing. “We still need to sign the papers and figure out all the legal stuff, Joker.” She kissed his forehead, grinning widely. Kit couldn’t believe… she had a house… They had a house! Her eyes were bright, shining with glee as she kept close to him, snuggling close to him. “I’m so happy… I can’t believe that we got it… out of everything, we actually got it… It’s amazing. Thank you, Joker.”

Still stroking his hair, Dusk shook her head, “We will see… Kyoshi, I don’t want you to kill her unless it’s a last resort or… well…” She sighed, shaking her head. “unless she asks you to, then… yes.” She looked down for a moment, closing her eyes. The woman didn’t want to think about what it would mean if Gambler actually requested it but if that was the case then… it would be up to Gambler and Kyoshi. Dusk didn’t think it was good and definitely didn’t want it to happen but… “We’ve had too much death, though, Kyoshi. I really just don’t want to go through more of it.”
