[FIN]Kimblee & Co. play Secret Squirrel

[masterwarlord]

((I dunno what's acceptable and what's not, seeing how extremely loose the rules are. I assumed we would have to make it logical due to how seriously some of us take our post lengths, but whatever. It's a minor issue, really, and it's not worth starting up all the more inactivity.))

[Dorochet [Bido]]

Seems that I have started some trouble/discussion by just have skipped Bido to Lior, without bothering to do any in between posts. I didn't meant to cause and trouble but I tryly don't see the problem of it. He was alone anyway so why bother with long travel posts. Beside a lot of things are unrealistic on the posting anyway, and the lenght of a post depends of the situation you're posting in just as much as it depends of the person who writes it.

((Bleh. I’m not coming off as an ass, am I? Feel free to stop babying me and tell me straight on without sugar coating it if I am. I’ll try actually asking in the future if that’s what you want.

As for Bido, there’s nothing wrong with not doing traveling posts, it’s there being no time gap in-between. I wasn’t gonna do any travel posts, just wait until a few in-game days passed, but if nobody cares about it, then there’s no reason to make more inactivity.))

((...So much conversation D: Wheres Havoc when ya need him?))

[Dorochet [Bido]]

Bido still sat in the protective shadow of his ally as he watched over the trio that was still seated at the restaurant. The little gecko chimera’s hearing wasn’t as good as his fellow dog chimera but his hearing was still better than that of the normal human. So as he sat just across the street, hidden in his little ally, he could hear pretty well what they were saying.

He was convinced that he heard something about the Elric brothers earlier. That wasn’t so much a surprise at those two seemed to be everywhere (it seemed that Dorochette wasn’t the only to eavesdrop on customers). However it didn't matter much at the moment as he was here for the other armour.

Bido looked at the alchemist for a moment, seemingly this must have been a secret mission or such as the man was wearing gloves over his tattoos while usually he was just all too proud being the Crimson Alchemist. Greed had warned Bido on the phone earlier that he wasn’t to approach Kimblee, as Greed seemed pretty convinced that Kimblee would blow him up as soon as he saw him. Bido on his turn didn’t quite agree to that thought, Kimblee was insane there was no denying that but during the alchemist his short stay at the nest he had never really been hostile to Bido. The other chimera’s had always shown quite a dislike of the alchemist but Bido was rather fascinated by alchemy. Though he couldn’t blame his comrades after all that had happened in the labs they had every right to dislike alchemists but Bido didn’t had the same sense of wrath as most of them had so he didn’t mind alchemists. Bido was well aware that it would nevertheless probably be wiser to follow his boss his orders but the little chimera just couldn’t contain his curiosity. As soon as he would have a chance he’d try to approach (cautious non the less) Kimblee.

However now didn’t quite seemed the right time, not as long as the Lior girl was with them. Lior was very religious and religious people where usually quite shallow minded. Lior reminded the ex-soldier too much of Ishval that had been rather xenophobic when it came to new things like alchemy. He expected the Lior people to be pretty much in the same direction and as a chimera he would probably not be too appreciate here, the last thing he wanted was to have the girl make a scene in public because she freaked out by seeing his scales. Even if she had said earlier that she wasn’t sure of her religion anymore he’d better play safe than sorry.

So now all Bido had to do was wait for them to maybe split up. The amstrian girl would probably not form so many problems as Bido guessed that she was here with Kimblee anyway so that he’d have some control of his woman at least. Either way all there was to do for the moment was wait.

((o-o...bido sure can travel fast.))

[Zolf J Kimblee]

"I'll be back in a moment, ladies." he said, "nature calls.."

After he excused himself, he stood up and disappeared into the restraunt. He found the bathroom, and seeing that it was empty he tried for the window. It was locked. He growled in irritation and put his fist through it, and pulled what pieces weren't broken and on the ground away from the pane.

The niggling sensation at the back of neck wouldn't go away. He felt watched, but glancing out the corner of his eyes, he'd been unable to see anything more than the one sneak movement out of the corner of his eye. He knew it could just be paranoia, but he wasn't taking chances.

He climbed through the window and dropped down into the alleyway. He sidled along the wall until he reached the very end of the dark shadow. He could see Sheska and Roze at the table and a good view of the alley across the way. Nothing. He was just being a paranoid ass. And a paranoid ass with a couple bleeding fingers now. What would he say when he came back to the table? At any rate, he could only stay a couple minutes. So he waited and watched for stealthy movements.

[here's a chance for Envy or Bido to pop in]

[Dorochet [Bido]]

"What are you doing here?" A quite familiar voice called to the paranoid alchemist. Only the voice came from a rather strange position, namely up the wall.

Bido looked at the alchemist curiously, with a hint of causion. "Ow and what are you doing in Lior? Who's the lady company? Are you with the military? Is it for the religious thing like with Ishval or is it bout an armour?" The little gecko chimera fired the one question after the other at the probably very confused or surprised alchemist. Bido had obviously decided that just jumping (figuartely that is) the man with his questions would be the best way as he would probably be so taken of guard that he would maybe answer some of them and hopefully not thinking of 'Boom'ing Bido either.

( Bido it is. And to Barry: I meant the phonecall. ^^' Bido called Greed on the phone at the Devils Nest after that he saw Kimblee. But I posted thephone conversation in DN. Sorry if that was confusing, so I didn't just zapped him back to Dulpith and Lior again or anything. XP)

[Zolf J Kimblee]

Zolf was just about to turn around and crawl back through the window and back to the ladies when a voice came out of nowhere. He spun around quickly and looked up. He first looked surprised and then scowled. "Bido! You sneaky little footpad! I knew someone had their beady little eyes on me!"

"Come down from there, you're gonna give me a neck strain if I have to keep looking up!" he hissed. "Oh...and I'm here to pay homage to the great Cornello. I've turned over a new leaf, see? I've changed my wicked ways and I live only for peace, love, and joy." he gave a smart-ass grin at that. Clapped his hands together and put them on the wall. "Come down from there, or I bring you down with the wall."

And just what would he tell his ol' reptilian side-kick from days past? It then dawned on him that he couldn't very well make an alchemic reaction with gloves on. He drew out a long, exasperated sigh and rested his forehead on the wall. His arms dropped. "Damn.."

[Dorochet [Bido]]

Bido grinned amused at the alchemist his surprise before he looked at the alchemist doubtful. Sure the little chimra was 'social' and he did approach Kimblee on his own will but that didn't meant he was so foolish. He noticed the rather hostile tone of the alchemist and he was after all not stupid so he didn't come any closer as he staid safely on his wall. As Kimblee went on about Cornello and peace and love the little chimera couldn't help but let out a laugh. "You?" He chuckled. "That's rather hard to believe." If not simply impossible.

As he saw Kimblee clapp his hands and put them on the hand he squealed slightly. The cowardly chimera shifted on his wall. He knew well enough that Kimblee was insane enough to do as he said. Bido climbed a little further on the wall before jumping down.

The little lizard chimera arched his head, somewhat curious as to what exacly Kimblee was up to. When he saw the alcemist dropp his hands he looked at him confused for a moment before his eyes caught the gloves and he guessed just why the alchemist was so fustarted. Upon seeing so the gecko chimera hopped up the wall again, crawling just out of reach.

[syradarkangelle]

Wrath had left after Sloth had,he was not sure what he really was supposed to do in Lior. he was just told Envy had betrayed them and he had to go to Lior in Envy's place.

He put a finger in his mouth,and decided he would play the lost kid bit and get information. he decided the next person he bumped into he would start the fake tears,and ask about any events going on,the truth was he never read any of the reports,they were too long,he would rather doodle on the floor,which he had on occasion. he could not help if Dante was not an art lover.

He had advantage over the other homunculi,his tattoo was in a very inconspicuous place, like any one would notice it on his foot. His head was in the clouds,as he looked up scanning someone to put his plan into motion.

((OOC :Hope this is ok,very tired tonight)

[masterwarlord]

After finishing his wine, taking his sweet time in doing so, Envy flew out the open window in the same way as he’d come in, turning into an eagle. He was off to find Kimblee to use him for the transmutation. While he didn’t need any of the others, he was keeping his eyes peeled for them as well, as if he found any of them Kimblee probably wouldn’t be far behind. Eagles were basically non existent in the harsh desert climate of Lior, but Envy didn’t care about that. After all, Kimblee might see him but not visa versa, speeding up their eventual meeting. He hoped that Kimblee would be willing to help him, especially after he told him of his new goals. He was also willing to increase Kimblee’s slice of the pie in the main philosopher’s stone if necessary, though it’s corrupting power was quite addicting. He could never have too much, although he’d be careful to not consume too much or he’d lose his sanity.

However; an occurrence out of the ordinary got Envy’s attention. . .It seems that somehow Dante had managed to beat him here to take his work for herself. Wrath was here. While Wrath posed no threat whatsoever on his own in Envy’s mind, Wrath’s presence meant that Sloth was probably here as well. He carefully watched Wrath to try to figure out what he was up to, though he was far less then amused as he watched Wrath suck up to people like an ordinary brat. It made him sick just watching him abusing his cuteness factor. . .He might just ignore him and continue on with his goals soon if he didn’t do anything interesting. Dante couldn’t of been stupid enough to send Wrath here himself, could she? She underestimated Envy, that was certain.

((Havoc is everywhere and nowhere at the same time, puts a strain on the agenda xD
Meh, I'm full of short posts this week (I usually am anyway TT^TT) ))

Jean thought about Barry's idea for a moment, he could see where he was coming from.
"All right, we'll start at one end, and go through the whole town. At the end of the day, we'll see what coincides." He looked to them both, not really sure if he wanted their approval or any idea's that would help.
Still, this was a team effort, so it shouldn't look weird for him to check with them before moving out or doing anything big.
And it's not like it was a safety if he checked with them first. If something went wrong, he would be the one held accountable because he was the one in charge and he was pretty fine with that.
It's not like I don't want to get promoted because of the extra responsibility, but all that extra paperwork...

He ran a hand through his hair before lighting up a cig, jabbing a thumb towards the town centre "We'll head there first. I think we'll get more out of the bars and stuff when night hits."

[Zolf J Kimblee]

Kimblee was growing severely irritated with the chimera. "Bido! For cryin' out loud! You used to be an elite secret ops soldier! Show some pride! Come down from there, I aint gonna blow you up."

He wondered why Bido acted so cowardly, and why he was still wearing the same tattered clothes he'd always worn. Didn't Greed take care of him at all? He leaned to take a peek around the corner. The two ladies seemed to be engaged in a polite conversation, both were smiling pleasantly. He smiled and returned his attention back to Bido. "Hurry up, I'm only supposed to be using the bathroom. At this rate, they'll think I fell in the toilet or something."

[Where's Riza/Sheska?? ]

[Dorochet [Bido]]

"I was the scout and spy, that's not the same as fighting." The little chimera held up in his defense. "Beside that's what lizards do, up the wall." Bido added as he hesitated for a moment before jumping down in front of the alchemist.

Bido looked slightly confused at why Kimblee was looking at him so oddly as he wondered what the insane alchemist was thinking. "Okay I'm down." He added as he was waiting impatiently for the answers on the questions he had asked earlier. Greed would probably scold his small chimera subordinate if he knew that he had so easely and openly shown himself to Kimblee. Greed didn't trust the alchemist in the least but Bido had rather a liking of the insane boom alchemist.

[Maybe Barry and Kimblee scared away Sheska and Riza ]

He didn't figure Bido would buy it but..."I'm here with my fiance...the green-eyed gal at the table," he answered, "We're here looking to buy a bookstore. She loves books and I want to get her a used bookstore as a...you know...wedding present..."

..Well, that was true enough, he thought. He did want to spoil her to death and give her everything she wanted, whatever that might be.

He skipped around the military question by just not answering it. "Well? Ain't you gonna congratulate me?" he asked with a grin. "Oh...and since I'm feeling so generous today...." he added, taking his wallet out of his pocket. He handed a few bills to the pathetic looking creature. "Go get yourself something decent to wear. That cloak has seen better days." The thing truly was tattered and horrid looking. "And if Greed asks where you got new clothes, feel free to drop my name. Maybe he'll feel a twinge of shame for lettin' you run around looking like death warmed over."

He seriously doubted Greed would care one way or another. "Now...I gotta get back to the ladies. Maybe I'll see you around, huh?" he patted his shoulder as he passed him and crawled back through the bathroom window. He picked up some of the glass and threw it away, so if either of the girls asked, he wouldn't exactly be lying if he told them there was glass everywhere and he cleaned it up.

[Dorochet [Bido]]

[Poor girls getting stalked by nutters , just kidding. Gotta love our little insanies, ya got my blessing guys ya go! ]

[Dorochet [Bido]]

Bido looked at Kimblee for a moment, blinking a few times at the man before plainly laughing at him at the thought. "You?! Engaged? That's a good one." He chuckled. "Rather hard to believe don't you think? Or at least you going from insane to lovy dovey." The little insane chimera said amused. "Funny but cute thought." He added forcing himself to stop laughing. He then quickly jumped on the wall climbing past the alchemist so he could have a look at the two girls. "The one with the glasses and shy look?" Bido asked now going curious at the though as he climbed back. "She's pretty but not what someone would consider as your type."

As Kimblee handed him some money Bido looked more than very confused at the gesture. What was that about? As Kimblee gave the reason the little chimera went a little pink in embarresment. Kimblee was right his cloths were rather...well ragged and old. The little gecko chimera shifted embarresed as he looked down at himselfas he muttered a faint protest of Greed probably being to busy though he added a embaressed 'thank you' after it.

As Kimblee suddenly moved on again Bido looked up as the man crawled through the window. "You certainly will as you still didn't answered all my questions." The little crazy chimera added after the insane alchemist. "And because you know what I wanna know." He added with a little mysterious grin before climbing back up the wall.
