Climber, whom had listened to Beatrice's long winded speech intently, (And even a bit fascinated with the new facts regardless of what form of volcabulary it came in) turned to Taz with a strange look. "Bounty?"
Now, one of two things could happen here, people who knew Climber could note; 1: He wouldn't know what a bounty is, and thus not have have understood what Taz had said... Or 2...
He turned to Beatrice, looking surprised. "Murder? But... Doesn't that mean... You killed people miss Beatrice?" Noticing Nutcase's look, Climber picked up his pick-axe once more. "G-Gantz explained it to me. Plus living around the likes of that 'one pirate' helps me to understand." He turned back to Beatrice, lifting a small muddy line above his eye that could be called an eyebrow curiously. "But... ... Why? Why would you want to kill?"

Nutcase glared at Beatrice, saying, "You just HAD to have a chip on your shoulder the size of the Grand Canyon, didn't you?!"
Turning to Taz, Nutcase said, "Now Taz, we can settle this peacefully. Apparently Beatrice has some deep emotional issues resulting in her wanton destructive tendencies. Besides that I promised her my friend could return her to her normal form. I think being a real live Pinocchio may have something to do with her behavior."

Beatrice shrugged. "Yeah, well, that stupid ghost fish talked me into most of that. Told me if we destroyed Sweden and framed Tree for it, we could finally get our revenge against her. But she ended up escaping from the police, we fought the bitch, and to make a long story short, we lost and New York got razed to the ground because she went on some kinda rampage. And now she's probably running around somewhere blowing up the stupid island herself. Stupid bitch."
She glared at Taz. "On that note, why aren't you trying to hunt down that bitch instead of me?! She's got a higher bounty!"
"I know," Taz replied. "But Miss. Lunis-Icho is harder to catch than you'd think." He looked back at Nutcase. "Even if Beatrice has such emotional issues, she is still a murderer. But, in any case, I can't actually collect her bounty right now anyways. You see, she's wanted 'Dead'. And since she's, as you said, a real-life Pinocchio, that would be somewhat hard to do. So, I suppose I'll just follow this group of miscreants around for a while anyways."

Climber seemed even less enthused about this whole thing. "But..." He turned to Beatrice, then to Nutcase, then to Taz...
Finally the Mannequin's face lit up. After a moment, he turned to Beatrice. "Miss Beatrice..." Beatrice turned to Climber lifting an eyebrow. "Do you feel sorry for what happened? I'm sure Gantz can help you, but I just want to know." He gave Taz a small glare when he noticed the anthropomorphic peacock making a motion similar to rolling his eyes. "I know this one pirate who liked to kill because he looked at it as means to an end... Don't ask me what that means, Gantz explained it to me; I get it, but I can't describe it."
He thought a moment, which was saying something since his brain was made of fluff. "Killing is wrong, no matter what you're doing it for. I'm not exactly smart, but I know that."
Beatrice looked about to get angry before Climber continued. "I'll take you to see Gantz, but can I have your word that your sorry for what happened?"
[Climber may not be the smartest tool in the shed, but he's very trusting, Naieve, and has strong morals about friendship. Putting it simply, he's grown to trust Beatrice, and not JUST for the factor that him and Beatrice are alike.]

While Beatrice and Climber were dealing with their discussion, Nutcase glared at Taz and said, "I dunno where you might be from, but where I'm from all convicts are owed a fair trial with an impartial judge and jury! I don't care what she may have done, she deserves a fair trial as opposed to be killed outright. Especially considering her story. If anything, she was set up to do all that stuff, and was left to take the heat for it all. Now I hardly find that just cause for you to off her, regardless of your profession."
"Yeah, that's just wrong man! We've met our share of bounty hunters but they're usually willing to find some other way to deal with a problem than to just follow their job blindly like you're doing!" Clown Man said in a serious tone. Something very rare for the little goofball.

"Bitch, I've been sorry for a long time. I'm tired of running from bounty hunters looking for a quick buck, and I just want to be human again," Beatrice sighed. "Let's just go..."
"Ah, yes, but where I'm from, criminal alchemists are to be killed, not arrested. If she was just a normal human, no powers or anything, she would most likely still be executed, or at least get life in prison. However, since she's a registered alchemist, she considered a huge danger to the populace. Alchemists are very dangerous, you see, and the only reason that they're not outlawed is because too many politicians are alchemists themselves." Taz explained. "But, in any case, I'll leave her alone for now. I'll let you and the mannequin have your fun, but once she's human..." He rubbed his hands together, laughed, and then walked back toward the library. Beatrice ground her teeth for a second, and then ran toward Taz, intending to punch him, but when she was about to punch him, he disappeared, and then Beatrice found herself being kicked into a wall.
"Dammit..." Beatrice mumbled.
"Well, then, I'm off to see a devil about a deal... ta ta!" Taz taunted, and then jumped down to the second level.

Climber ran over to Beatrice; once he properly looked her over her scratches, he turned to where Taz disappeared, looking a bit angry. "He isn't very nice at all." Whilst he noted in his mind that Taz was an unfriendly, he offered a hand to help Beatrice up. "Come on miss Beatrice." He smiled widely. "I'll go and take you and Nutcase to see Gantz now. If there's anyone who can help fix your problem, he can."

Beatrice went ahead and got up herself, though her projected body wavered a little bit as she did. "Dammit... I'm running out of energy..." She mumbled. "Huh? Oh, right. Yeah, lead the way, plushie boy."
((I'll let one of you two make the new topic))
