Welcome to Gaia! ::

Blinking, Alice just stared as the other kissed her cheek. What the hell was that? Glancing over, she raised a brow before shrugging and just leaning back. Watching and merely flicking off Ziggy and Talon, she tilted her head a bit. “None of this makes sense…” She looked amused before watching Hibachi as he gave a triumphant shout. So, it was done. Ziggy just straightened a bit. “Well, where is it? Where is he?” The others, they didn’t know how to find them. Rave was honestly the only one he could think fo that would be in something that was different. Kit and Kalore, no matter how strong willed the two were and resourceful they could be, could easily be detained in any sort of place. Rave had to have special accommodations.

Dusk forced herself not to jump the man in front of her. Something about Kristopher just pissed her off, but she had never gotten along with him. When she had lived at the castle before her mother died and she ran off, the council had always sneered at her, looked down at anything that she did. She wans’t sure, really, on how to handle it then. Now? Now she ruled over them so they could just kiss her a**. Not that she could say that as a queen, but it was so tempting to just rip off his ******** head. She could do it too. Not with all this relying on their only link, of course, but she hated him right then.

“Fine… Fine, but I do need something else from you.” Kristopher visibly sighed, shaking his head, “my queen, I don’t think I can really be of any help. You know the same amount that I do.” Dusk only glared. She doubted that. “It’s profiling, damnitt, and you work with our criminals. You oversee the prisons and all sorts of things.” Kristopher raised a brow, “And you’ve been inside them. What’s your point about that?”

Hands clenched around one another, Dusk nearly screamed. Oh, she hoped she got the chance to make this p***k suffer.

Kristopher only watched his queen, his eyes narrowed on her. He understood what she wanted. He often analyzed things for them, making sense of why people did what they did in order to find where they’d attack next. Of course he could do that there, he was the cause of it! Well, him and a few mages that he hired, but they weren’t important. Most were up in the north anyway, so they couldn’t be found easily. Kristopher just wanted his son to suffer, to go back to how he was, repent. He also wanted Monty and the others thrown out on their asses, killed if possible. This was the only way to save his home.

Watching Kristopher stare at her, Dusk finally lost it. “I want a report on your statistics. You’ve helped my father before when trying to find when something would strike again, and you’re normally right.” Goddess, she hated admitting that. “Make the ******** report and get it to me by tomorrow morning. We’re finding Kit and Kalore and Rave. We’re going to stop whatever’s doing this. And if I get any more of your attitude, Kristopher, I’ll personally be rid of you in a way worse than the late king.” Her voice was low as she watched him. She knew she was supposed to be calm and collected, but he just pissed her off. The two never got along anyway. “You’re dismissed.”

“Gladly.”

Snapping back a little, Kristopher left with robes billowing and his pace fast. He had always disliked that woman. Always. Still, he had to obey his queen. Maybe he could do something to take care of her at some point, but for now Dusk was young. She’d conform eventually.

As the door closed, Dusk almost screamed but instead just had shadows disintegrate a chair. It was the only thing she could attack that wouldn’t cost her later. “That ******** p***k!” Snapping and hissing in a mix of elvish and English, Dusk paced. Teivel better have found out what he needed. She just wanted to get the others, have proof of what happened, do a public exile of the p***k and then murder him.

Ziggy, Eldin, and Talon all twitched but Alice looked at the plushie on the screen. “Cute. Why do you want a doll, though?” She raised a brow, looking amused. Apparently, grown men liked dolls. She knew men liked it when women dressed up like dolls, but this little plushie thing definitely didn’t look like a real woman. It looked weird. Still, the blue haired girl was ignored as the men all looked at the bird. Ah, and now she stopped caring.

“None of us can turn invisible, but there are some of us that basically can. Eldin can phase into anything earth-related, and Dusk can do her shadow thing.” Alice glanced over, listening to her brother talk. He seemed to do a lot of that when things like this happened. “I can~” Talon and Ziggy watched her, just waiting for her to finish. Her amusement only grew. “But it’ll cost ya if you need someone that goes invisible.” Ziggy glared, “Not worth any price you want.”

As angry as Monty was, Dusk seemed double. Her fists were clenched, nails nearly breaking through the leather of her gloves. Looking out the window, she shook her head. “I can’t believe this.” Mutterin the words, she looked at the others. “Go and tell them what you found out. I have things that I have to do here.” As Queen, she couldn’t just disappear. Goddess knew she wanted to. “I’ll be there in less than an hour. Come get me if it becomes dire, but there are things that must be done here.” None, sadly, that had anything to do with Kristopher.

Alice only stared. "What's the use in a slave for five minutes?" Raising a brow, she almost looked innocent. Almost. the smirk gave way to her intentions at the statement. Still, she remained on his lap, comfortable and flirty as Teivel came back to them. Ziggy sighed. "We knew he did it... I thought we were also having you go in and see what else we could get out of you..." Talon nodded but Eldin only stared at the table. This was getting.. strange. He wasn't too sure on how they were going to go against a council member. Poor boy still considered the council to be the highest thing in the elvish nation.

He remained silent as Alice spoke up; finally something useful. "All we really need to know is where Kalore and Kit are. We found Rave, and he probably doesn't have that many people guarding him. People mean mass, mass means shadows." She shrugged. "Kit and Kalore are probably guarded all to hell and back."

As Hibachi flirted with Alice, Ziggy's hand twitched. Alice was a big girl, but that was still his sister, damnitt! Growling low, he only glared at Hibachi before reaching into his pocket, taking out a small PDA-looking thing. It beeped once as a holographic image popped up, writing scripted in symbols underneath; a full history of Kristopher. Hibachi wasn't the only one with toys.

“The only problem with that... He's fully homophobic. He'd take a paddle to you alright, but one laced with holy water or something along that aspect.” Flipping the image a bit, Ziggy began to mutter to himself in elvish, going through ideas. Talon translated bits and pieces, but the blue haired man spoke too fast for him to catch most of it.

“Something about bait... good idea... don't use green-hair.. hates men... guilty conscious... Rave... something else that I can't really catch but sounds like a curse...” Talon only blinked, glancing over. “he's speaking old-tongue now, so I'm not sure. But, I do agree. Monty... you tend to piss him off, but all demons seem to piss off elves to some extent.” A pointed glance in Eldin's direction but the boy still stared at the table. “If we want Kristopher out, then we need to do so in a way that gets him discharged by the people, so Teivel, your idea is good.” Talon leaned over to see the item in Ziggy's hand, only twitching. “******** old-tongue... damnitt, Ziggy...”

Snapping out of it, his golden eyes flicked up. He only frowned. “If Rave is grabbed first... we'd have him on our side to discredit Kristopher. Then, while messing with that... we can see just what it is that we can do. Kristopher doesn't drink much, but I've never caught him drunk. He's like Rave when it comes to control, save for Kal-...” A slow smile spread across his lips. “How much can you change via-image, Teivel? Keep helping and we can extend the pay...”

Eyes widening, Eldin felt Teivel run his fingers through his auburn hair. He felt like he had been burned. Leaning back, his eye twitched as he smoothed out the spot, his longer hair still not staying down in the way it should. Demons... no matter how nice a demon seemed, they were still a demon. Disgusting creatures. This one just looked different, but he could still feel it; the presence. Disgusting. And Teivel even had his own element. No one had told him, but Eldin wasn't stupid or naïve in his element. Just what the hell was this guy?

As Eldin glared, he finally spoke up. “He wants you to take the form of someone else, other than yourself, and not make a sex tape. Disgusting idea...” He scoffed but continued. “If I'm correct... you were going to say Kalore, right?” Eldin watched as Ziggy continued to grin, nodding. “Yup. So you do pay attention over there. I'm impressed.”

Ziggy only laughed as Eldin's look should have sent him to the grave. Poor kid. He needed someone to help calm him down, but he doubted that would happen. Kid seemed to only like five people in their little group. “Look...” Hitting some of the symbols, a new image appeared. One of Kalore and Kristopher in the last time they had spoken in front of anyone. Neither looked happy to see the other. “Kristopher hates Kalore. That's probably what started a lot of this. He hates him, but the fact that he's got... connections... for lack of better words, with a demon, multiple demons, just isn't okay. More than likely? This is solely for Kalore to be put back to normal, Kit's there to make sure she's the same, and Rave...”

He frowned. “I honestly think he was taken out as a precaution. Magic doesn't really... affect him in the same way.” Ziggy almost went into thought but a swift kick reminded him of what he was doing. The bruise would leave within seconds.

“Teivel, can you turn into Kalore?” He looked up at him. “Cassandra can,but I think you'd find more fun in this and probably do so better. Turn into him, or at least close enough that we can scare the hell out of him. As for your sex tape idea? I'm thinking more of a little spy work. I've got cameras and mics that'll pick up anything. Scare him into giving it all up. If we get Rave out and make sure Kristopher knows that, then having Kalore pop up won't be such a far-fetched thing. It'll scare the hell out of him and those two have a good habit of yelling at each other.”

Amusement stayed on his face as he leaned back, the hologram replaying the last fight the two had. Kristopher's composure only lasted for so long. “They've both got a lot of skeletons. Wonder how long it'll take me to figure them all out...”

“Whether I am or am not, that doesn't matter.” Hissing at him, Eldin leaned back a bit, feeling as though something ran beneath his skin. It felt almost like bugs crawling, digging deeper into his veins. The moment Teivel's tongue touched his lips, though, the elf pushed himself away from the table. He felt cold. “Don't ******** touch me, demon.” Another hiss and he left the area, heading in the direction of the kitchen. Surely Joker needed some sort of help. As he left, Ziggy only sighed, watching him.

“I want you to look like Kalore.” Amusement appeared on his face as he leaned on his arm. Something about watching the other walk around like this... it was amusing, really. Cute kid. The fact that he was a demon just added to how much he liked him. Anyone that could piss off Eldin and still look hot made him pretty damn happy. “This would be after we grab Rave. Which... Hibachi. Are you ready to go ahead and get this started? Alice is doing this for you, correct?”

Ziggy only grinned. "I can give you all the information you need on him." The item in his hand changed again as it was an image of Kalore in his uniform. "I can go all the way down to nude if you need to be completely exact. I will say, it was fun getting all the parts right." He could only grin as Talon kicked him again. "Dude... you freak me out sometimes." "I know."

Another laugh as he watched the demon. "How long are you going to need? I can work with you to get the history and such down right. I'm not too sure how much he's told Monty over here, so I'm afraid that'd need to be in private. I'm an a**, but not that big of one." He wouldn't let something out to Monty that would mess up whatever it was that the two had. Not that he didn't know what it was, but he wasn't going to let everyone know just how much info he had on them.

Looking at the item, Alice got up and went to the window. "Now... what all am I doing for you again? I blanked out once Sparky started talking."

"HEY!"
