Welcome to Gaia! ::

A surprised scream came from the boy as he caught the phone, Eldin's ears hurting a bit from the attack from the other. Wincing, he simply nodded and began to leave before biting his lip softly, soon harder as the attention was back on him. "I-I will... Is.... Is everything okay?" Eldin knew that it wasn't but that alone wasn't the point. He just didn't really know what to say other than to start the call for Rave's phone. it was no surprise that the other answered immediately, calming asking what was wrong, seeing as Eldin was calling from a phone that wasn't his... The words were soon spoken and he frowned, confused before looking at Joker when he was done speaking with Alice. "He... He says that he wishes to speak with you, sir but... but he isn't sure on what it is that you're talking about..."

Alice yelled back curses at Joker's own words, her anger easily matching his own, "They're not after me, you dumbass!" Snapping with her own curses, she slowly began to calm down long enough to give him her number before looking around and gritting her teeth to the point of them cracking slightly. "Look, I'm going to see if I can find her. Make sure no one else is getting in trouble... this doesn't seem right." The two hung up and Alice simply looked out the window. Why Kit? Of all damn people... Why her?

Rave listened as Joker spoke, leaning back in his chair as he was screamed and yelled at, slowly blinking but never showing just what it was that was going on in his mind. He had answered politely enough about things going well for him and such. Now he was being screamed out but this was to be expected. The only thing that surprised him was that Joker wasn’t having his own problems as he sighed softly, running a hand through his hair. “If you would be silent for a moment then I could attempt to tell you what it is that I know. As for Kitanasa, I do not know what to tell you, Joker, but she is unavailable, even to myself. My apologies.” And he did mean it. Rave liked Kit; the woman was loyal and rarely did anything too wrong.

Looking at the paper that was in his hand, he noted every name and every item on the slip. His own name was listed as well. “Kitanasa is not where I can get her, Joker, and I am afraid that you will not be either.” A frown remained on his lips as he spoke softer, “None of us will be, I am sorry to say. She has been taken in for treason. There is a notice in front of me now that I have gained mere minutes before your call, any sooner and you would have been notified by myself. I do not know her charges or what it is that has caused it, for now that is classified against myself as well, but I will find what is going on. Has anyone else come missing, Joker? There are names on this list that are… fretfully strange.”

Silent, Rave wasn’t sure what to say. He knew that this wasn’t normal and he knew that it wasn’t right, but it was the name son this list that he didn’t understand. It wasn’t that there were many of them but it was just the choices. That alone worried him more than anything else that he could have thought to deal with. “The names that are on here make no sense to me, Joker, and they will not make sense to you either. As for who they are, there are only a handful. Alice is not on this list, neither are you, but… I am. As is Eldin and… and as is Kalore.” He frowned more at that. Why them? Eldin did nothing bad to anyone, Kalore was loud but he was a damn good warrior, and Rave himself… he did nothing wrong.

Closing his eyes for a moment, he rested back. “The notice says that as long as we come willingly then there will be no harm to us and things will be figured out soon enough. I will not be held until I understand what is going on, however, and I will find out just what that is. Cecilia is not here but instead is in a meeting with the ambassadors… Keep Eldin safe, however.” He looked up as someone knocked on his door, hissing quickly and quietly. “I will find out what is going on.” Then the line went dead.

“Sir?” Still filing some papers, Eldin looked up at the other with worry in his eyes. “but… doesn’t someone need to be here?” He knew better than to say no to Joker, though, and went to put up his things. “The day’s been slow but there might be some form of emergency. We don’t have any appointments for another hour, though… Is it alright to leave without anyone here?” There were the assistants, of course, and they could handle a lot of this. Eldin did worry a bit about leaving the new hospital to go get… supplies? That was strange… very strange.

Confusion stayed on Eldin’s face as he watched the other. What Joker was doing wasn’t normal and he knew that it was far from in character for the doctor to be acting like this. What was going on? “Joker… sir, what’s wrong?” He spoke softly, his messenger bag over his shoulder, a tilt of the head showing his curiosity. Something was wrong but Eldin just didn’t know what it was. When he had given the phone to Joker, he had stopped listening in on the conversation, having too much respect for the two men to listen in on them. now he was beginning to wish that he would have done so. “You haven’t been acting right since… since the call. What’s wrong?”

Sitting in the shade, Kalore leaned back and watched as his ‘students’ practiced their archery. Personally he thought they were all worthless pieces of s**t, but he had to be a bit nice to them. Dusk had asked him to work with the younger kids instead of the adults that he had been terrorizing, apparently to get him to calm down and not be such a Nazi to them; whatever that was. “Your aim is off… No, no, like this.” Sighing, he got up and showed a girl just what it was that she was supposed to be doing, the kid only going up to his chest, if that, as he demonstrated it for her. “See? Now you try. Better… Better. Keep working on it.” Damn kids. He liked them more when they were legal and he was allowed to knock them out if they were being stupid.

Eldin did as he was told, biting his lip and watching as the other began to call someone. He was still confused, concerned, and wondering just what it was that was going on as they began to drive away. Looking out the window and watching traffic, he wondered if it had something to do with Alice and all of them. This all happened after the call so he could only assume that that was it.

A few minutes passed and soon the class was dismissed as a nod came from Kalore. He stretched his arms over his head, sighing and looking at the bows that littered the ground from where the adolescents had decided that they just weren’t worth the time to put up. “Little brats… I swear if these guys are gonna be protecting us… we’re screwed…” Muttering the words, Kalore began to pick them up before he began to mess around a bit himself. Just the barest of smiles appeared on his lips as he turned and began to practice with the bows. They weren’t that great, but they were better than the training equipment that he had to use when he was younger. As expected, he never missed a shot.

“Sir Marcessa… A word?” Blinking, the blonde turned as there were three guards at attention, watching as he took aim. With the weapon in his hand, they looked tense, Kalore noting their movements as he lowered the bow; they relaxed. “What’s up? Something happened?” The center guard stepped forward, offering him a scroll of sorts. Kalore felt a chill as he looked at the black paper, not trusting it. These never meant anything good. Either he was being drafted for some war or mission he had no clue on, or… “Come with us, sir. You’ve been considered under treason and as long as you cooperate, appropriate sentencing shall be granted.” Ah hell.

Watching the other, Eldin had no clue on what was going on. He didn’t know about the arrest on Kalore, or at least the attempt, nor did he know about the attempt on Rave either. No one did. No one but Joker and the guards that were after the criminals knew about it and there wasn’t much that could be done. All that Eldin knew was that they were after a medical bag… a bag that apparently meant a lot to Joker that he had left with the terrifying demon. “We’re going to see the demon in order to get medicine… Joker, you’re not making any sense.” He spoke softly, watching him carefully. Soon he gave up on asking if things were okay and just decided to see if he could somehow figure it out. “Is Miss Kit alright?”

“She’s… She’s not hurt is she?” Eldin frowned as he watched the other, listening as Joker didn’t say anything else. When they got to the home, he went inside with the other, watching and biting his lip gently. This time he didn’t even feel strange being with the demon that he had wanted dead just a year or two before. He softly answered, his eyes staying on Joker without even giving Monty a second look, this time out of worry instead of annoyance. “Something’s wrong… We got a Kit and apparently something’s not okay with her… Joker hasn’t told me anything else…”
