Livin It Up Not Givin A.....

[gurido]

A yawn slipped past his lips as he entered the Devil's Nest. He had been running around most of the day, keeping an eye on things. He still had a plan on getting a hold of that damn Philosopher's Stone. It was something he wanted and well, since he was Greed after all, he was determined to get it. As he stepped inside the Nest, he walked over to the bar and leaned against it, his eyes scanning over the re-stocked supply of alcohol. He pointed at a bottle of Jack Daniels and the bar tender handed it to him. Greed opened it and took a swig then walked over to his couch and sat down. He got a glimpse of a blond and let out a low whistle at her, gesturing for her to come over and sit down beside him. He wondered where his other minions were. He looked at Bido and raised a brow.

"Oi, oi, where's Martel?"

[silverviper2134]

Martel stepped silently into the room. She had been sharpening her knife, seeing as it had been dulled over a few uses. Seeing Greed with one of the women who came to the Nest sometimes, Martel rolled her eyes. She hated it when Greed was with those whores, though she wasn't exactly sure why. It wasn't because she was jealous of them, that's for damn sure!

"Yes, Greed?" she asked, glancing at the Homunculus.

[gurido]

Greed raised an eyebrow when he heard Martel's voice. Of course his attention was taken away from the blond he was seated next to and he focused it on Martel for the time being. He thought of most women that came into the bar as simple play things anyways. He never let anyone get to him these days. It had been like that ever since he left Dante. Ages. That's one thing he was sure of, to never let anyone get under his skin like Dante had. Ever. He still had to pay her back for everything she did to him in the past.

"What's been going on? Anything new?" Greed asked as the blond woman seated next to him tried to regain his attention but failed miserably.

[silverviper2134]

Martel shook her head. "No. I heard some bastards from the military talking, but it was all just shit about the whores they wanted to sleep with" she said, sounding a little disgusted as she did. She took a glass of scotch from the bartender and took a sip.

[gurido]

Greed's next question, he didn't want to ask, but he knew that he had to in order to keep from being sealed again. He'd make sure he wouldn't go through that hell again. "Heard anything about Dante and if she's planning anything? I've been checking things out, but you of all people know I can't get too close."

[silverviper2134]

She shook her head, frowning slightly as she took another sip of her drink. "Haven't seen or heard that bitch in a while" she told her boss, placing the glass on the counter.

[gurido]

The woman sitting beside Greed began to annoy the living hell out of him and he gave her a slight glare then waved a hand at her dismissively. She got up and walked out of the bar after mumbling some words. He couldn't help but grin and laugh softly. He took a swig from his bottle of alcohol and leaned back against the couch. "We need to find out what she's up to. Whatever it is..It can't be good.."

[silverviper2134]

"I could try spying on her" Martel suggested, nodding in agreement with his last statement. She had been one of the best at staying hidden when it came to situations like this. It was one of the things that she was proud of having.

[gurido]

He hated sending her out to do things like spying on Dante because he knew that if she were to be caught, that ruthless bitch would probably do away with her. But, on the other hand, Martel was the best at what she did. He took another swig from his bottle and thought about it for a few minutes as he brought a hand up to his face and rubbed his chin. "Just be careful.." He warned her with a small nod. "Don't want you becoming one of her experiments or anything. You know how she is."

[silverviper2134]

Martel nodded, and shrugged slightly. "I'm used to being an experiment, you know" she said, fingering her tattoo slightly. The mark was a scar left from the transmutation that turned her into this monster. And if the others had one like that, it was somewhere that she never could see.

[gurido]

He shook his head at those words. He didn't like to think about things like that. He hated the military for what they did. But he didn't let those emotions show. He wasn't the type to get emotional over that and if he did? He would hide it well. He tilted his head to the side some. "Still...You should be careful. I don't want to lose one of my best allys you know?"

[silverviper2134]

"Why? I'm sure you'd find a good replacement if I was killed or something" Martel said, taking another sip of scotch. She wasn't really a heavy drinker, so she drank any alchol she had slowly. It was just a way to savor the taste and the burn that it left.

[gurido]

He smirked at her and gave a small shrug then took another drink from the bottle. "There's only a few people I trust in this world, Martel and you're one of them. Finding a replacement wouldn't be as easy as you make it sound. People are fucking sketchy, hell I'm even a little sketchy, but when it comes to recruiting people as allys, well, lets just say that I'm picky."

[silverviper2134]

Martel smirked back at him, sipping her own drink. "I noticed" she said, glancing at the women in the bar. There were definitely two things that all had in common. They had very large breast and weren't that smart.

[gurido]

He knew that Martel disliked the women who came to the bar. It was obvious that she detested them just by the way she looked at them. It was a look that was one of disgust. This made Greed a little amused. He gave her a small smile and glanced away afterwards, snickering softly and taking a drink from his bottle.

[silverviper2134]

"What's so funny?" Martel said, trying desperately to keep herself from blushing. Thankfully, she was succesful. But just barely. She didn't like feeling ignorant, espically after years of being kept in the dark when it came to everything.

[gurido]

He figured that instead of being a bastard, he would tell her. He stood up and walked over to her, bottle still in hand. He took a swig of it before speaking and sat the thing down on the counter next to them. "You really don't like the girls that come in here, do you? The looks you give them...It's like you wanna rip their heads off and shit down their throats. That or shove your fist down their throats and rip out their intestines. Either way, it's ruthless." He ended that sentence with a small laugh.

[silverviper2134]

Martel looked away, feeling her cheeks burning. "And why do you care?" she asked, sounding a little more annoyed then she wanted to. She couldn't really help it, she was starting to feel embarresed.

[gurido]

He quirked a brow and gave another shrug. "I dunno. Just think it's interesting. But, anyways, about Dante, we do need to find out what the hell that bitch is up to. Her and that god damn walking palm tree."

[silverviper2134]

She sighed softly and said, "Sorry. I'm just pissed off, that's all". Taking a sip of her scotch, she looked at him again. She placed the now empty glass on the bar counter. The rain was beating hard on the roof of the Nest; she could start spying on Dante in the morning. Or, once the weather cleared. She nodded slightly in agreement to what he said about Dante and the palm-tree.
