Jo gave Isaac a small, somewhat strained grin as he said he was glad to see her alive-- that was always nice to know. She distracted herself as Emilia and Isaac conversed further, occasionally glancing back to her closet. No Man`s Land had always been way too hot for double-breasted coats- she was actually kind of really anxious to wear one of them...
She had a rather vacant look on her face, up until Emilia said her name. "Huh-?" Her eyes flickered between Isaac and Emilia momentarily. Did she hate Isaac? She hardly knew the guy...! Of course, he did used to work with the Inquisitor... whom wasn`t really Jo`s preferred company. Then again- so did Buddi, and he was fairly chill. Jo gave a small shrug, offering Isaac a small smile. "I... don`t see why I would... I mean--you seem to be doing a pretty awesome job helping Mocha out and stuff. I--don`t really know how to do any of that domestic crap, so I guess that`s pretty cool...---" Her compliments don`t sound like compliments.

She was about to ramble further about how un-prejudice she totally was, when the speakers scattered among the ceiling of their floor buzzed with static, indicating someone had turned on some mic. She paused, glancing upward expectantly with a glimmer of annoyance in her eye-- and then Ryder happened.
Ryder happened all over the place.
The moment she heard her name, Jo`s face flushed in apparent embarrassment, remaining quiet as she listened attentively to the rest of his... thing. Despite what was a nearly overwhelming sense of abashment that clouded her thoughts and sort of turned her brain into vapor---because, dude, seriously, there are other people on this floor--must you be so mushy and cute--she did... feel more than a little smitten at the gesture alone, as dumb as it may have been. ... Also, watching Casino Royale with movie pancakes sounded---really cool---like actually--
... So, for now, she decided to forgive Ryder for being an absolute goddamn lunatic. Absolute goddamn lunatic with dorky facial hair. Yeah. She hurriedly looked to Isaac and Emilia, opening her mouth to say something to the pair, but... to no real avail. Her finger stretched out the collar of her shirt-ish thing nervously, as if trying to cool down the fiery blush that had erupted on her skin. "I--uh--s-should probably---go then---important crime boss things to do a-and stuff---b-been sorta dead for two months--y`know how it is---eheh--" She abruptly shut the door to her room- only to open it a moment later in entirely new attire. Coat, tie, eye patch-less and all. Because, honestly, after spending two months in it--she didn`t want to see that other... thing ever again.
... Plus it was cold as balls. That was still a thing. She offered the two one last smile, before speed-walking past them. "L-Later Emilia! We should totally catch up more soon!" She called back, looking over her shoulder as her walk sort of increased in anticipatious speed.

As she hurried down the halls---Ivy did her thing, which sort of just... made Jo slow down a bit, and stare up at the speakers in disapproval. "... I`m gonna kill him for letting her go near those things." She muttered, before continuing onward.

Isaac Harvey

Isaac stood there and listened to what Emilia had to say. Sure Buddi, Mocha and Dorothy didn't hate him, probably, but what about the others? He listened when Emilia asked Jo what she thought of him and did a small grin at the end of her compliments. They didn't entirely sounded the best but it would do. Then the loudspeakers happened and wow that was weird. As soon as Jo shut the door and came out dressed, leaving the two alone, Isaac looked at Emilia. "I just noticed, you asked her if she hates me or not, what about you then Ms. Emilia? What do you think of me?"

"I will use my cards to protect everyone!"

Isaac Harvey
Blondy



Isaac was sorta confused at what Emilia meant. He didn't mean for it to be if she liked men or not. Atleast she said though that she doesn't mind him. That's a start to people trusting him! Isaac beamed up a little bit when Emilia said that he could follow them. The mutt part didn't phase him at all as he accepted of what she would probably call him always. The only problem was Elliot. Would he be fine by himself? He was changed recently into a new bag and the bar seemed fine. Yeah, maybe a little break would do. "H-Hey wait up!" Isaac said as he left with the others.

*Exit*

It seemed like a while until Bunny woke up. The poison had been flushed out, but it left impacting thoughts on her head. She sat up, and got dressed, in simple clothes. She'd change if she went out. Her clothes were...mended...did someone do that for her while she was asleep? Who knew. She opened the door and looked around. No one was around. Odd. Ah well, she was up, that's what mattered. She decided to do some morning...or whatever time it was...work outs...cause why not.

Chelsea walked down the hallway on the second floor, laptop case's strap over her shoulder as she moved down the hall, headed towards Pugsy's room. As she passed by the girl's rooms, she gave Bunny a wave and a smile as she passed the woman, greeting her--but feeling like it was probably important to get to Pugsy's room quickly. Pugsy was--well--pretty sensitive, from what Chelsea could tell. She didn't want him to have to be feeling down for too long. She trotted on down the hall, up until she finally reached Pugsy's closed door. She stood in front of the door for a moment, thinking about how to proceed, before knocking on the door gently and calling,
"Pugsy? Are you okay?"

Pugsy stayed behind his door, it was locked. After this whole day he was just dead set on keeping himself sheltered away from the world. He didn't know where he had lost it, when those three were trying to kill him or when Ivy and the others started to talk like that knowing his problems full well. Either way, Pugsy didn't open the door when Chelsea knocked "I'm sleeping Chelsea!" he replied back in a whimper, coiling himself in his bed's covers "I don't need to talk to anyone!"

"Oh...u-unless you're sleep-talking, you sound pretty awake..." Chelsea said hesitantly, thinking for a moment before speaking again. "Pugsy...won't you please let me in...? You sound really sad...you don't deserve to be down here, all sad and alone..."

Pugsy replied to Chelsea from the door "I'll be sad and alone everyone! At least here I have a pillow! Pillows are helpful!" he whimpered through the door. Pugsy started to roll around in his bed cocoon, just kinda rolling around "I'm better here! Minus the crazy intercom calls from bro- that kinda freaked me out-" Pugsy now couldn't get the image out of his head that Ryder was going around obsessively following Jo around after that actually.

"R-Ryder did an intercom call...?" Chelsea asked in confusion--she actually hadn't known that part-- "B-But--never mind that--I know that you're probably really nice and cozy...but that doesn't change the fact that you sound really down in the dumps...a-and I want to help make you feel better! You know...the really nice thing about having friends, is that you can rely on them! A-And you can talk to them, and they'll try to make you feel better and stuff! Two heads are better than one, and all that! W-Well--what I mean to say is--is that I just want to try to make you feel better...and it's a bit hard to do that when there's this door in between us..."

The door suddenly opened, and Pugsy was on the floor, still rolled up in a bed cocoon, nobody knows how he managed to open the door like that, it was one of his many amazing skills. Pugsy then rolled over to his bed, hitting one of its legs then just staying there looking sad "There- the door is open. But I don't think there's anything you can say that can change anything Chelsea..."

Chelsea came inside the door, gently shutting it again behind her to allow them some privacy, then sat down next to Pugsy, folding her legs together neatly and smoothing down her skirt as she sat.
"Well--how about you start by telling me what's wrong, and I can try to help once I hear what's up...?"

Bunny was doing headstands when Jack came in. She sat on her bed and listened.
"Nice meeting you." she said. looking at her nails. "You need something?"

Pugsy looked up at Chelsea as she spoke, she was willing to listen...? Well okay then, her funeral there.

Chelsea listened to Pugsy's response, taking a moment to piece together all of the words of that long string of sadness, no matter how mixed together they'd been.
"Oh my...it sounds like you've had quite the day, haven't you...?" she gave him a sympathetic look before reaching down, patting his head gently. "There, there...it's alright. Nobody else is going to try to kill you...and there won't be anymore bombs. And as for Dorthy...well...I-I think that she's going through a phase...and I'm sure that Mocha will set her straight. We'll make sure that she apologizes, okay? I know that I would be just as frustrated if I'd had a day like yours...b-but don't worry! Sometimes, days can start off bad, then get better...! Trust me--I'm sure that your day will start getting better from here on out--!" It was at that moment that a rumbling of an explosion could be heard from upstairs, along with muffled panicked shouting. "...Um...th-that didn't count..."

Pugsy poked his head out of his bed cocoon for a moment after Chelsea gave him her speech "Huh..." Pugsy almost smiled for a modicum of a second. And then boom, and shrieks of horror. Pugsy immediately hid himself in the cocoon again, looking like a turtle going back into his shell. Nope, nope, nope "Someone is gonna die again... I'm just done... so done..."

"M-Maybe they're all just watching a really loud movie...?" Chelsea said hopefully, before sighing deeply, frowning a bit. "...It's really awful that things like this keep happening...I'm really sorry that your day's been so crummy, Pugsy...Either way, as far as explosion clean-up goes, I'm too weak to help with anything like that...so do you mind if I stay here? I don't want to get in anyone's way..."

Bunny nodded.
"I'm fine now. Antidote and sleep are the best cure to any poison. But yeah, that thing." she sighed. "Welp, we, meaning Pugsy and I, he's cool by the way, we need to chill more, anyway, we went to the Black Market to look for information about the Holiday Killer, and Pug weren't too subtle about our mission. Turns out his croonies were there, as CONVIENT as that sounds, and we got into a scuffle. Pug was fighting some pale faced chain whipper with a bad haircut, and I was fighting this crazy poison making bitch. Blonde with a low cut dress, barely covered herself, you'd think she was a whore. Well...she did say something about two boyfriends, so, THAT was a thing. That's the second time I've heard something like that. It's insane. Anyway, it was like they were readin us, and THEN, SDorothy and Nate decided they wanted to come, even what I told them no, and so I had to protect them! And THAT was annoying, and then I sort of went crazy from the potion and was brought here, wanted to beat the shit out of the kids, and now I'm sittin here questioning if I'm a human or not because of all the freaking cybernetics I got, and how many times I've been near death!" she went on kind of a rant...she paused to breath. "Uh...yeah...forget that last part..." she said, looking away after realizing what she said. Then the explosion happened. "WHAT?!" she stood up. "What's going on up there!?" she was about to run out, but something stopped her. She didn't feel needed. She sat on her bed again, and punched the metal wall, making a dent. She had her head down. These thoughts were obviously pleaguing her. "Damnit! This is so not like me..." she thought looking at her hand. Not a scratch.

Pugsy rolled to the side "I don't think they are...." he replied to her in a mutter, Pugsy wondered if their entrance blew up again, that usually happens a lot too. The man popped his head out of the bed cocoon for a moment to look up at Chelsea "And yeah you can stay... not that there's much to do hear anyways you'll just get bored and leave..." he replied to her, the end of his sentence slowly turning into a insecure mutter.

"Aww, Pugsy..." Chelsea said, giving the blanket cocoon that was Pugsy a concerned look. "Don't say that. I won't leave unless you want me to, okay? I like spending time with you. You're one of my best friends, after all! A-At least, I like to think so...! I really like spending time with you, you know?"

Pugsy let out a sigh from within his bed cocoon "I find that hard to believe coming from anybody..." he spoke out to her before rolling away, his rolling was only put to an end once he hit a wall in his room. To which he came to an immediate stop "Mrm..." he muttered once again "I'm pretty useless these days... and it feels like no one bothers giving me any respect... I mean... no one was even bothering to listen to me or Bunny about what we found out on our trip out..."
