Welcome to Gaia! ::

"What? That'll never work! Think of the collateral damage! On top of that, all the innocent lives at stake!" Gjiem was now almost screaming into his phone. "You dont think I checked there first? Dio doesnt have it! Thats why I got the other leads! I refuse to be a part of this operation if this is how its going to be handled! Yes, I can just walk away, this was supposed to be my last job remember? Well Im retiring early. Go to hell!" Gjiem hung up. As he looked up from his rather loud phone conversation, he realized that there were a lot of people staring at him. Through them he spotted Tifa. He ran toward her. "Tifa!" As he ran he began to undo the chocobo costume, not caring about his cover anymore. He reached Tifa panting, and half way out of the costume. You wanted to find that Aerith girl right? Well if we dont leave soon it'll be impossible to leave at all. My plans have changed. If you want to find her, follow me, and I'll explain on the way."

"Correct." Tifa replied to Lucius' query ((Did I spell that right?)) regarding Aerith. Tifa followed Gjiem as they both ran for the exit. "What about the others? Cloud, Sirius, Barret?" Tifa looked around. Hmm.... They'll find their way out soon enough. She thought. "Where are we going?" Tifa asked calmly. On the inside, she was no where near calm, however. Aerith, where are you? What is going on?

((Man my posts recently have been really long, oh well, why break the trend?))

When Inu spoke, Gjiem halted. He turned only the upper portion of his body to face her and pointed toward his feet, which were still covered by the chocobo leg pieces he had forgotten to remove. With that he turned and headed toward the ropeway station. Twenty minutes had been his ultimatum, and he intended to keep on schedule. However, there was much still to be done before then. He rode down to corel and toward the area just outside of town where a large helicopter sat motionless. The Chinook had the back door open, but he knew nothing would be missing, for the chopper had been left in good hands. As he approached the open door, an exited bark came from inside and he was tackled by a large black and white wolf. "Heheh, I missed you too Nick." The wolf released him upon this greeting and both entered the chopper. Gjiem set to work preflighting the aircraft and tidying up. He also checked to ensure that the dune-buggy in back was properly secured. As he rounded the corner of the buggy, he spotted his makeshift bedding, and that of his companion, which looked cleaner than his. He hurredly pulled the sheets together to form something mildly resembling an acceptable bed. Fifteen minutes later, he was done. Looking at the wolf, he put on a very serious face. "Listen, we have company coming, so be on your best behavior okay?" The wolf tilted his head to one side and gave a soft bark in confirmation. With that Gjiem walked briskly back to the ropeway station and boarded the transport.

Haratake stood up and followed Inu, listening in onto the conversation. "Uh..?" He just looked blankly at them.
[[ Gah. >< ]]
