41. Setting things in motion [Video]

[vile_queen]

[Carmen is sitting, relaxed, against a pillar of the Taj Mahal. One of her arms is wrapped around the pillar, but she doesn't seem concerned by it. People who have been to the Taj Mahal in the city might notice that it's been moved. This is temporary, but she's stolen her... fixation.]So the network is more secure. For whom? Though I suppose I

[He looked to be deeper in thought than he usually would at being asked such a question.]

I should be. As long as nothing unexpected happens.

[vile_queen]

[Carmen raises an eyebrow.]

Are things well for you, Killua? If there are adverse circumstances, do speak up.

We will be more of a diversionary act than the direct move, but there should be plenty of opportunity for exercise.

[video//private//unhackable]

[kill_joo_ded]

Nothing like that. It's just that the moment you think you have everything planned perfectly is usually when something goes wrong.

I can do diversions easily enough.

[video//private//unhackable]

[vile_queen]

If you are sure. But that is most certainly true.

Excellent. As further details become available I shall keep you informed.

[Private//Unhackable]

[thefirstuchiha]

Thank you, Carmen. Your work in this is much appreciated.

[Private//Unhackable]

[vile_queen]

Of course, Madara. This should be most diverting.

[Private//Unhackable]

[thefirstuchiha]

I'm glad you think so. I'll be sure to keep you and your team informed of what is going on and when exactly to be prepared. It shouldn't be too long of a wait.

[Private//Unhackable]

[vile_queen]

I hope not. Many appear to be ready.

[Private//Unhackable]

[standingonhigh]

What sort of diversion? Though if you don't mind bringing the files with you, I found a small building here, [x,y].

[Private//Unhackable]

[vile_queen]

A very good question. I do not remember your capabilities or your goals, beyond that of taking down the Doctor. Are there any particular targets you find interesting here, at this time, beyond the woman who I gather is a former companion of the Doctor?

I am on my way.

[Private//Unhackable]

[standingonhigh]

The best targets are the ones that haven't shown themselves - particularly those scientists. Who are probably back to listening in, now that they have the sound working over their network again. As for Miss Rose, I can take care of her.

Then I'll see you soon.

[Private//Unhackable]

[vile_queen]

I have no doubt that they always are. We can discuss this further, in person.

Yes.

[Video//Unhackable] Ahhh shield jokes.

[grabbyhandsthx]

[Intrigued by this, Greed replies in a pleasant enough tone considering he's already typed her as blunt and to the point. Which is fine. Not only that but it seems like Envy's setback may not be a step back if this leads him somewhere.]

Alright, you have my attention ma'am. Please do explain.

[Video//Unhackable] LOL. I didn't even try.

[vile_queen]

I will require distractions, diversions. If multiple distractions are going on at once, each has more of a chance of success. I can already guarentee four events happening at once.

I have worked with you before, and found you to be straightforward. Our goals did not conflict. I am therefore most interested in resuming business with you.

[Video//Unhackable]

[grabbyhandsthx]

[He listens, his usual full mouthed grin on his face, minus the teeth of course. This instance didn't call for it. Greed is glad to hear 'work with' in that statement, until that point it had almost been a flat out no.]

Three things.
What are your goals?
What kind of distraction would I be able to provide and yet still attain what I want.
And lastly.
Keep the 'worked with' in mind. I'm no one's subordinate.

[Video//Unhackable]

[vile_queen]

[Carmen nods.]

Not everyone requires orders. Some do best as equals.

[She only believes one to be her equal. But she can humor Greed.]

I want the city. I want a challenge that makes being the best worth it and forces me to stay at my best.

Your goals I am not certain of this time. Last time, you declared them publicly. What do you seek now, Greed? That answer should give me an answer for your question.

[favorthebold]

Hah. Surrendered to temptation after all, I see.

[Private//unhackable]

Certainly, we should talk. But I will tell you the honest truth: the less involved you are in my plans for dome Aizen and the Shinigami, the better. I play with fire here as I rarely have before, and would not have you burned.

And what has dome Madara for us now?

[vile_queen]

It was only a matter of time. I was most fond of this one.

[Private//Unhackable]

Of course you play with fire. I believe I know your end target, and [she shakes her head] there is certainly great risk.

Something he has been contemplating for a great deal of time now - the ninja boy Naruto.

[favorthebold]

And justly so. I've never seen its like.

[Private//unhackable]

The risk's the meat of it; you know this as well as I, already. But it is my risk, and better it be mine alone.

Mm - yellow hair, staring eyes, mouth too big for his own good? He doesn't seem much of a target, but I've been surprised before, here...

[vile_queen]

It was built as a memorial of love and loss, an expansion upon traditional Persian architecture. It was once said to be a sanctuary for those who were guilty, not that any such notion would hold true. He is resplendant nonetheless.

[Private//Unhackable]

I see.

Yes, that one. Apparently a creature that is only mythology in my own world dwells within the boy.
