Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I don't know. Its better than thinking its a dolphin." He countered. Though what Dakota said was true. Its not like flowers some flowers were going to provide an answer. Unless maybe someone else was there and was trying to tell them something, without revealing themselves.

"Friendship.... bracelets...." He gave Dakota a blank look. Trying to get a mental image of this. "Are you sure those weren't some sort of runic item or maybe a desummoned form?" Really--a bracelet? How was that even a weapon?

And then Kat was back. "Hey Kat, still no luck?" He asked, stuffing his hands into his pockets.

"I don't know. Caelius may be a colossal p***k, but I don't think he'd actually kill the council. I have a hard time picturing someone who follows every rule to the letter breaking them in such a big way."

Dakota just shrugged again and relaxed on his hands, turning his face to the Sky.

"Caelius would be my pick. He would do anything, like you said to follow the rules. You think council always followed the rules bro?" He looked at Ryan and then Kat and shrugged again. "That's my opinion, Of anyone, I think Caelius has the most motive to go after anybody."

"We'll have to wait and see though. The only people I find suspicious are the ones that aren't nervous and keep their cool. This is death we're talking about, not a game. Everyone is nervous...."

"Hmm.. Well, okay." She shrugged, gesturing a small wave goodbye to the two. "I'm gonna go ask a couple more people before I call it quits. Catch you both later."

Moving outside, he asked around and got word of another higher up named Clarice that was out in the garage. He hadn't been at a garage in over 3 years, and it reminded him of his father. It was a rule that, considering Melvin had given up sports and other activities, that he help his dad every-so-often with the car. It was a bonding guy thing for his dad that Melvin humored, and he managed to help without actually getting too dirty - which required work and practice.

Walking in, he frowned at seeing the mess the woman was in, and she was just as upset to see him here. Seeing as she looked about to shoo him away, so he went ahead and just asked when she snapped about what he wanted.

What he got was a rather curt, short, and rather pissed off explanation that basically summed down to her not wanting to deal with some lower ranked officer poking his nose about. Not wanting to get hit by a wrench, he turned and headed out.

She really did not know what to think at this point in the game.

But it really was not a game, was it? To her at least it wasn't. Paper in hand she was not exactly sure what she would gain from talking with Clarice She did know, though, that it was the better option than talking with H.

Clarice at least seemed to have a head on her shoulders... that was not contorted.

Maybe H just scared her a little too much.

Ceres greeted the assistant with a smile and a nod, waiting for her to pause her messy work before asking. "Hey Clarice, can i ask you about the council if possible?"



She wasted no time getting to the point, making the female wince at the sudden response. She must not have been the first there to ask about this, but the reaction was enough to make her wonder.

Insanity? Could it be possible that she had something go wrong in her labs and it slaughtered the council?

Leaving left her thinking more than not.

Candace stepped out from a portal with a tired sigh, stretching her arms up high above her head as she walked from the portal room and toward the dorms. She'd been gone so long, she missed being home.

It was strange. the fact that these papers were left in the room, of all rooms, this one was chosen. It was a head scratching moment for leon as he read it over with a stern face. "They could have just left this in a locker or something, but to put it at the scene of the crime." It just didn't make sense to him. "whatever, its here now." It was part of the next step, maybe the test was over and now they could finally begin.

Asking loaded questions never seemed like a wise idea to the boxer, especially if it was asked to the wrong person and considering the listing present, there were quite a few of them. A few that he knew could have his head on the chopping block in an instant, or have him podded as the best case scenario.

it was a grim idea to mull over, was there a way to keep the suspicion of his tail while gathering a list of potential suspects? There really was one way to see, as Nid decided to speak up and put in his 2 dragonian cents.

The best course of action he could think of at first, was the question those that he did not know personally. "If they don't know me all to well, they can't think i'm being too suspicious, right?" is what he told himself in the mirror as he tucked the paper away and brought some index cards in its place. the data sheet itself may pose a problem if exposed to the wrong eye.

first things first, was footage in the boxers mind. There were a few places kept under watch as far as he noticed. That room however didn't seem as guarded as he might have hoped, considering the fact that they snuck into the high level clearance only scene. twice.

But the chance encounter of Lance before he entered the security room was a blessing and a chance the life hunter was not going to pass up. "Excuse me!" he spoke up, taking a brisk jog toward the hunter before he ollied out. "I was wondering, do you have the footage of hallway 4, section F, I want to review the traffic to and from the council room from that event." It was a simple request he felt.

And got an equally simple No back.

"i'll take that as a no." The door that closed in his face confirmed as much.
