[ Not even a hello or anything. No pleasantries needed. ]

need help sorting info

you busy?

[Preferable.]

Nope.

good.

my door will be open in a second. bright red gem. there's a doghouse in front in case you get lost.

[ Considering part of the arrangement to begin with was that he didn't want any information to be shared over text, and thanks to some people, Sinewave wasn't safe to use either. The next best option was to just meet up in person-- as far as she knew, the homes themselves were still locked down pretty tightly. The last bastion of the magi's privacy.

Hence why the Luxury Lodge was off limits for now. The new bit of info she got over the past few days was brand new, and she wasn't going to expose that now. Especially to anyone who's emotionally invested or likely to do anything stupid with it. Leaving Kakyoin and Pokey out of the running, and it wasn't until just now that she realized how small her network really was.

So you know, no pressure Gary. Bonnie's just waiting inside, the ever-so-cozy cabin interior clashing with the pretty damn big table set up. There appears to be a lot of wooden soldiers, color coded, as if she's getting ready to play a game of Risk or something.

She's been busy. ]

[He doesn't even waste time telling her that he'll be there in a few. Instead he shoves his phone in his pocket and heads right for Bonnie's house. When he walks inside and notes the big war table he raises a brow. Impressive, maybe not unexpected. He'll close the door behind him assuming she doesn't want anyone potentially eavesdropping. There is definitely enough compromise happening already.

He approaches the table and scans in, hands in pockets. He's...not looking so hot. In fact he looks downright like shit. If not for Magi recovering faster he would probably still be on the floor at the foot of that keyboard right about now.]

At least someone's being productive.

[Yeah he's fed up. News at 11.]

Yeah, well I've had a lot of time to get to work on this. Had a lot of inspiration too. Honestly, with everything going on, I--

[ She stops trying to organize the soldiers momentarily to glance up at Gary, and get a good look at his face. She stares for a second, and then snickers just a bit. ]

Holy hell, what happened to you? You go Nightmare fighting without backup? Good golly, you look terrible.

[ She can't help but laugh about it, but at least she's not full on giggling or laughing. It's not as amusing as it'd be if it was someone she actually did hate. ]

[If he hadn't used the rest of his "pissed off" reserve he might be a little more than annoyed at that snicker, no matter how small. But it's nothing in the grand scheme of things so surprisingly it bothers him very little.]

Turns out purple haired demons have a penchant for throwing tantrums.

[ And that snickering dies out, fairly quickly. That mocking smile turns into a disdainful look quickly, and she sucks her teeth. The last time she'd seen the two interact was right after Lilith decided to broadcast Gary's death for anyone who missed it, and that turned out as well as expected.

More importantly, what the hell did that mean exactly, for their arrangement? Skirting around the issue was probably for the best, though she couldn't help but feel a little ticked off. Doing as she pleased as usual. ]

Tch. Unsurprising. She can act all high and mighty and act important all she wants. She's still a screaming brat of a demon, trying to play dress-up with her mommy's shoes.

[ Well. The body she came from, anyway. ]

Should've just ignored her. That's what I've been doing.

Oh gee, you think?

[It's almost like looking into a mirror. Whenever Jimmy's name is brought up he's certain a similar expression crosses his face.]

What do you think I was doing? Ignoring her is like ignoring a bratty kid, except this one has a scythe. She's completely oblivious to the world around her - more than I initially thought. I threatened to kill her and she still approached me.

What a waste of space.

[he mad]

[ That was a dumb move on his part, thinking he could really get away with threatening the life of a Darkstalker, though she doesn't say that. A typical Darkstalker would probably take that at face value, but Lilith really did think of herself as a cat, playing with mice. As if her precious role as a part of Morrigan was worth anything at this point in time. Still, how the hell did he even survive that encounter if they had met.

Then it hits her. And she goes back to snickering a bit. ]

Isn't she just? The poor girl is probably bored. [ For someone who wanted to be noticed by the town, making a dramatic declaration of hating everyone and blaming everyone-- only to go seek out someone who told her that they'd kill her? Oh, that was too rich. It's hilarious. ]

You should turn that frown upside down, champ. You got away with your life, didn't you?

[ She starts to rearrange the soldiers. Right, okay, this is coming together a little more now. ]

She's not bored. She's an idiot. She seemed to think she was paying me a compliment.

[People's ideas of compliments were dumb. And the misconception that he somehow wanted them were even dumber. Lilith hadn't been the only one to piss him off but boy she did it the best.

He simply rolls his eyes.]

I reminded her of her place. That seemed to at least get through to her thick skull.

[He'll deal with her later if she gets in his way again. Or if she just happens to die near enough that he can grab her gem.

Gary brings his attention back to the war table with all the little soldiers.]

Now on to something that actually matters...

Right! [ Bonnie claps her hands, all of the soldiers all set in a few groups. A few of them stand alone, with circles around them. There's a large amount of smaller pink soldiers on a drawing of a small looking town, one orange soldier on a giant snowflake, and finally: four yellow soldiers with black Xs on them, alongside one red figure on a big city. Dead center between the big and small city is a soldier in blue.

Off to the side is another darker blue one that looks like it's been hacked up a little, and one that seems to be completely white. The other, insignificant ones are all black, and there aren't that many. ]

Interject whenever you want, but I need to sort this mess out. This is just the easiest way I know how.

I don't think I have to explain it too deep. These guys in the small town, that's us. A ton of us, but apparently not too big on the totem pole. Then, there's Cyborg Xpress over here in the big city. Four of them, able to protect a city that big. The red one, that's another magi I met in town. Kaneko Kouzai. And right here between those groups?

[ She lightly taps on the pristine blue soldier's head. ]

Sachiko Hatsu.

[ She turns her attention away from her, walking over to grab onto the red soldier's head. ]

Kouzai told me something really interesting a day or so ago. She told me anyone who really gets deep into Sachiko's business? They don't usually come out of it. Hatsu's apparently got a hell of a list of magi that've gone down because of her in some way.

Sounds to me that either she has an army behind her, or she's just able to cause that much trouble, huh? I mean. Think of it this way. The girl can't fight, but she had these four as backup. Now I might not be too much of a tactician, but it's way easier to get info on a group if you have your four do your work for you. But take those four away--

[ And she does, leaving the red magi in the city, and sliiightly pushing Sachiko towards the Nyoi-cho magi. ]

You've got another group ready to die, or even kill for you out of some kind of screwed up sense of obligation. With me so far?

["Hatsu's apparently got a hell of a list of magi that've gone down because of her in some way."

This makes sense to Gary - so much sense it's annoying. He rolls his eyes and throws his head back with a sigh.]

Sounds about right. Taking advantage of her use is one thing but this blind trust is going to bite us in the ass.

[But actually, that makes him think of something.]

This Kouzai - did she seem as if she wasn't all there? Maybe a little lost from one sentence to the next?

She did. At least for a little bit.

[ It was a hell of a stark change. At least to her it was. She was a hell of a lot nicer and easier to talk to before she got that charm back-- which wasn't surprising. ]

I can't tell you if she's back to being all there, buuut she's a lot more with it than the others in town. She knows about the magi and about the group of dead girls laying around.

I swear. This town operates on the belief that everyone's probably some kind of good and sweet person at heart. I don't have the heart to tell them that those'll be the ones who'll slit their throat the moment they get an opening.

I'm just letting you know this right now: I never trusted Sachiko Hatsu in the first place, and I'm not going to start blindly trusting a girl who told me I'd regret peeking around the city.
