I found him. I do not need to worry about Kamui. You also do not need to worry about Kamui. Kamui is infallible. [ He did not think he had to mention such a fact, but Greed is a confusing individual who sometimes does not make sense. It seems important to point out facts. And he can only guess he is asking Kamui because he is worried about Kamui. ]

This whole thing? I do not understand.

Oya, oya! buddiebuddiebuddiepal!? Kyaha! Where ya at pooch? I ain't one for company an' shit, but ain't no dog got their bone on more than me when it comes to watchin' people get their torture on, but what the FUCK is with being stuck in this place? Ya tried to leave yet? I did! Chased a kitty right outta campus an' woke up in my room... Shits fucked up man.
[Pop of static before there's a cool rush of breath. A hissing exhale through a devil's smile that seems to linger for a moment. Cut off only by a solid crack. Boot heel finding footing, tipping it up and Greed whistles on the other side of the line.]
And here I thought you hadn't made it, friend. Glad to see I was wrong.
[Because out of them all, Gunji proved the best at following orders. Even if he did tend to tread on the bloodier-side of exchanges, he was good to listen. Good to have as eyes and ears and Greed scratches under his chin. A brief pause.]
Yeah, I noticed. Looks like COMPASS has something a bit different in store for us this time. [And his tone is playful, but dangerous. A blurring of the two, as if he doesn't take the matter too lightly.]
[But he snaps his fingers. Lets the noise vibrate through the feed.]
Where am I? The same place. [Down below; in a room stolen, bare bones to make his home.] Ah- right. You haven't been formally introduced yet, have you?
[May as well bide the time and wait. After all, there's that little end to the conversation he's interested about.]
Academic Building, lower floor. Can't miss it.

[Ah, as strange as it sounds, Gunji's missed those mysterious sounds his avarice friend makes. He holds back a chuckle as he mimics stamping his foot on the asphalt when he heres Greed's boot heel crack down.]
Ya fuckin' kiddin' me right? Me, not make it? Kyaha! Ya don't got to worry about me, I'll always be jus' fine neh!
[No, Gunji had never actually been invited to other peoples dorms before, normally he's the guy they pretend to not hear knocking whenever he does happen by. That and the fact he's crap with remembering places, sense of direction like moth.]
... Can't miss what, ney?

[It's funny just how familiar it is. His heel click copied, the good dog mocking the master and Greed's grin is audible. Slick like the edge of a knife and just as sharp as he lets a small laugh slip through. Passing by his lips, index tapping just to see the result.]
[Because he's missed the sound, too. Gunji an oddity, always chomping at the bit. Begging for more, more, more and oh, could the Sin compliment his avarice. But it was for an entirely different kind of currency. One made with life and blood; it'd be a mess, in the end.]
[And despite appearance, he didn't fancy himself the violent sort.]
[He jerks still. Eerie silence coming in like a phantom-crossed and Greed lulls his head back.] Glad to hear it.
[A hum, eyes to close on the other side of the line. Sultry glances to a faceless audience. Nails finally finding the hollow of a wood frame and he raps his knuckles against it.]
The sign - it should be pretty obvious, but since you've been gone a while - [Greed trails off, head moving away and his voice goes with it. As if there's space finally birthed in the in-between.]
- The Devil's Nest. It's not ready yet, but feel free.

You.
[ he's really mad guess who just found out about that stupid ruby from one of his pups. ]

[Feed popping open to the call with static to follow. Angle of the recording from a flat surface, catching the ceiling and shadows stretch. Fingertips laced in the dark before a familiar face graces the line. Popping up with an air of surprise, strong jaw to hang open wide and two hands wrap around the surface. Pull him right in.]
Ah-?
Ah-?
Tell me about that ruby you were after. What the hell did you want it for?
[Ah, that.]
[The video catches the under part of his throat. Head whirling about on a spine that seems boneless, sinking his shades back into the thick of it. Little light for all of his troubles, the faint glow from the video-feed igniting him in artificial blues that shift. Threatening gray and back again.]
Why? That's a stupid question. [Humbled surprise gone and his smile stays closed. Curved and coiled with smarmy intentions, making eyebrows curve up to the beat. Dip to caress the frames of his shades and the Sin slowly peels his hands away from the surface.]
The name is Greed, or did you not get that the first time?

Yeah, I got that.
Those two have no reason to want to take that but this thing apparently caught the attention of a few people.
You're telling me there was absolutely nothing out of the ordinary about that rock in terms of you wanting it?

Out of the ordinary, huh.
[Well, it had been odd. As if the stone itself was ringing out; tuning to his more sinister core and finding the same pulse. Making that fever rise and he remembers. The parched feeling at his jaws, the throbbing in his skull.]
[Greed tosses both hands out, backs of his palms facing the floor.] Eh- I guess you could say it was a little strange. But then again, anything is possible.
Why do you want to know?

Because they're my responsibility. And I need to know if they did it under influence and COMPASS is just bullshitting events as excuses to do what they please or if this is something in my control to fix.
[ and he doesn't think this information is going to save them but it'll do a lot for him in terms of knowing where he needs to stand and how. ]

They're some of yours, then.
[Responsibility is a funny thing and so is the idea of possessing. Something, someone to claim ownership of and Greed's expression turns a bit sour. He hasn't missed the public display of violence nor does he find any sort of solace in it.]
[So his tone shifts; matching the eyes that glare back at him through the feed, expecting answers.]
No - it wasn't normal. But my avarice tends to run a bit deeper than most.
[Attentions drawing away and Greed juts out his chin. Turns in the direction of a window present. Holding with that silence for a moment before lacing his heels together with one solid thud.]
Nothing much seems in our control, friend. But hey - I've always been a fan of the underdog. [The slightest lift of a grin, as if the venom between is quickly draining and maybe, just maybe, they'll see eye to eye after all.]
So - what's your plan? Not like you can barge in there and take what was stolen.

I'm used to having to claw my way up from under a heel of authority abusing fuckwits like this Project Head.
[ he's used to it, but not quite at this level and never has there been a situation where it literally is impossible to get at this guy. the feeling of helplessness is maddening, but hijikata can't dwell for long. ]
I don't know yet. But, nothing is absolute—it just needs to be reassessed. If something goes in or it goes out of it, it's a flaw that can be exploited.
[ the problem is there isn't any time and no one here seems to have a clue to work off of. in fact, in really could very well be too late this time around. he can't think about that, though, even though he's not holding out any promises to himself that he's going to get them before it's their turn. ]

You and me both, friend. Seems to me we have a common goal.
[Rebel to rebel and authority never sat well with the cardinal Sin in question. Always to bite back against the chains that held him and in the end, COMPASS is just the same. Change of face, but still a similar flavor. It's just packaged a bit differently.]
That's right - [That smile widens and those teeth show. Two-fingers to bounce off his temple and Greed peels away from the wood-face of his project. Moving as he falls over the shelf of his hips.] - there's no such thing as no such thing.
[Still, there's a problem and that problem is time. Mortal lot hanging on the thread and not a lot of cards to play.]
[The Sin opens up his hand - swings it around, nails to scratch the dark.] It's called equivalent exchange back where I'm come from. Something given in order to receive - least, that's what the good ol'boys back in Central always claimed.
[Though it was the truth - everything for a price and Greed pauses. Stops with a clack of the heel.]
There's a key to every door, friend. We just need to find the right one - don't you think?

...Yeah, we do.
[ 'we' being carefully noted since this conversation definitely didn't start with such, not even from greed's mouth. so now, it looks like a slight change that might very well be worth entertaining. ]

[It's a sudden turn of events; all hands on deck leaving, threat clearing. And finally, there's an eye to eye, a tooth to tooth, and someone gets it.]
[He's on the move, though. Attentions brought back to the present and the noise of his walk clacks true on the other side of the line. Darker places left to his back and he stops just once in the frame of a door.]
What's your name, anyway?
