At least, the design he has when he is outside of Gardenview. Inside he has his regular outfit! Have fun now :3//

He raises a brow, rolling his eyes," and you don't even have a height or body. Your point?"

*vent crawling noises but louder than Yatta's* ~ @gatekeeperofthegardenaudelilah

He's currently going through the train station inside the museum, having got back from the run outside of it. He paused when he heard the thumps of someone crawling in the vents, his gaze snapping up to the closest one. He walks closer to it, summoning one of his smaller clock hands. As he holds it, he crawled on top of some crates until he's at level with the vents cover. "Who's there?", His voice is level, but it's clear he's tense.

[gatekeeperofthegardenaudelilah]

*the noise stops, a familiar set of eyes seen looking out*

[ticktockgatekeeper]

His brows furrow even more as he spots the eyes, the ticking sound that follows him speeding up a bit as he looked closer,"... I know you're there.... You aren't very silent..."

It takes him a moment to recognize the eyes, his own widening,"... Wait, Delilah? You're... Crawling through the vents?" He looks genuinely surprised, and there's a flicker of relief in his expression.

The clock hand disappears, and he relaxes,"... Where have you been all this time? No one's seen you since the museum closed!"

[gatekeeperofthegardenaudelilah]

....*she starts crawling the other way get back here woman!*

[ticktockgatekeeper]

"wh- wait, come back!", He jolts, his hand pressing against the wall next to the vent. He lifts a hand and snaps, a glowing clock-like forcefield appearing in front of Delilah, blocking the only other way. Now there's just the vent opening Dyle is looking into.

"don't leave! I.. it's good to see that you're alive after all of this. Please.. I wish to talk to you. About.. anything really."

[gatekeeperofthegardenaudelilah]

Sh*t *mutters, slowly coming out the vent*

Fine..

[ticktockgatekeeper]

He sighed in relief before stepping away from the vent a bit to allow her to step out, him looking up at her," thank you... How have you been? Are you.. are you injured? I have medical supplies that I found on the surface if you need it."

[gatekeeperofthegardenaudelilah]

....My office.

And I'm fine.

*she still has all that flipping ichor on her damn*

[ticktockgatekeeper]

"... All that ichor says otherwise..", he muttered before humming. ".. how about we can go get all that ichor off you? I'm sure I have something to clean it off somewhere... Besides I highly doubt it's safe for you to be covered that much in it." He starts leading her elsewhere in the station towards one of the many train cars, him making sure she's following.

[gatekeeperofthegardenaudelilah]

Pfft...you can try.

This doesn't really come off easy..

[ticktockgatekeeper]

"that much I'm aware of... But I've gotten quite good at figuring out how to get it off. Especially due to some.. quite unfortunate encounters I've had.", He chuckles, before opening the door to the train car and gesturing her to enter first. "Here we are. Hop on in, we should be able to find something in here."

Inside is what looks like a storage area of some kind, a bunch of boxes, crates, and items scattered about. He heads in after her and immediately goes to one of the crates to the left, opening it before digging through the items in it. "Hm... Let's see... Ah! Here we are!", He pulls out a container of.. something clear and holds it out for her to take. "It's not much, but it should be able to get a decent amount of it off."

[gatekeeperofthegardenaudelilah]

Alright then- *gets in the train car*

Huh what is this?

[ticktockgatekeeper]

"it's a mixture I made that both works as a way to get ichor off things easier but also is safe for toons to use.", He hums, going back to digging through the crate," i have been trying to make more of it for everyone but... Supplies are scarce. I can only make a couple of containers at a time, and those don't go very far." He grimaces before sighing. "That should be enough to get the ichor off and have some left over at the very least."

[gatekeeperofthegardenaudelilah]

*dumps on her legs then her ichor covered arm and sleeve*

[ticktockgatekeeper]

The liquid shimmers a little before the ichor slips off her legs and arms like slime, the ichor becoming clear as the substance lands on the floor. The the shimmering remains, now in a small puddle.

Dyle snaps his fingers without looking, and a glowing clock face appears underneath the substance, the substance disappearing into it before the clock disappears and takes the used liquid elsewhere.

He hums, taking out the second container and setting it on top of another crate nearby. "There we go...", He looks back at Delilah, relaxing as he notices how much ichor it got off of Delilah. "Good to see it helped a bit... If you need any more, don't hesitate to ask. I should be able to give you some.."

He paused before sighing with a sweat drop," I really should make more... Suppose I'll need to move it up in my schedule..."

He looks up at her again, humming,"... Have you eaten anything recently?"

[gatekeeperofthegardenaudelilah]

I was about to break into the seedly restaurant to snatch some

[ticktockgatekeeper]

"....are you stealing food?", He squints at her, a frown on his face. "... You don't have to steal. If anything, I'm sure they wouldn't mind giving you any if you asked. And I could quickly grab some for you as well."

[gatekeeperofthegardenaudelilah]

I don't think the toons really like me anymore...

Oh okay-

[ticktockgatekeeper]

He raises a brow at that, crossing his arms," what's that supposed to mean? I'm sure they do. Why would you think they don't?"

[gatekeeperofthegardenaudelilah]

....the malfunction incident...

the infection that's spread outside...

[ticktockgatekeeper]

His eyes widen, him freezing at the mention of the incident. He tenses, him staring up at her silently for a moment,"....hm. you know about the ichor that's outside? I'm assuming you know something of how it got out then...?" His voice is stiff as he speaks,"... I do not think it was your fault. Nor do I think others should be thinking it was. But.. if you know anything, I'd quite like to be informed."

He's currently going through the train station inside the museum, having got back from the run outside of it. He paused when he heard the thumps of someone crawling in the vents, his gaze snapping up to the closest one. He walks closer to it, summoning one of his smaller clock hands. As he holds it, he crawled on top of some crates until he's at level with the vents cover. "Who's there?", His voice is level, but it's clear he's tense.

[gatekeeperofthegardenaudelilah]

*the noise stops, a familiar set of eyes seen looking out*

[ticktockgatekeeper]

His brows furrow even more as he spots the eyes, the ticking sound that follows him speeding up a bit as he looked closer,"... I know you're there.... You aren't very silent..."

It takes him a moment to recognize the eyes, his own widening,"... Wait, Delilah? You're... Crawling through the vents?" He looks genuinely surprised, and there's a flicker of relief in his expression.

The clock hand disappears, and he relaxes,"... Where have you been all this time? No one's seen you since the museum closed!"

[gatekeeperofthegardenaudelilah]

....*she starts crawling the other way get back here woman!*

[ticktockgatekeeper]

"wh- wait, come back!", He jolts, his hand pressing against the wall next to the vent. He lifts a hand and snaps, a glowing clock-like forcefield appearing in front of Delilah, blocking the only other way. Now there's just the vent opening Dyle is looking into.

"don't leave! I.. it's good to see that you're alive after all of this. Please.. I wish to talk to you. About.. anything really."

[gatekeeperofthegardenaudelilah]

Sh*t *mutters, slowly coming out the vent*

Fine..

[ticktockgatekeeper]

He sighed in relief before stepping away from the vent a bit to allow her to step out, him looking up at her," thank you... How have you been? Are you.. are you injured? I have medical supplies that I found on the surface if you need it."

[gatekeeperofthegardenaudelilah]

....My office.

And I'm fine.

*she still has all that flipping ichor on her damn*

[ticktockgatekeeper]

"... All that ichor says otherwise..", he muttered before humming. ".. how about we can go get all that ichor off you? I'm sure I have something to clean it off somewhere... Besides I highly doubt it's safe for you to be covered that much in it." He starts leading her elsewhere in the station towards one of the many train cars, him making sure she's following.

I know one delilah used to work with scientists that uh....experimented on kids with a mutation illness and made their state worse so whatever happened out there, if this one did something similar, she's likely getting flashbacks and likely feels responsible and locked herself away somewhere here

".... That...", He starts before pausing, his brows furrowed," you sound like you're talking about multiple delilahs.. as if there alternate versions...?"

He frowned, musing on the words".... Hm. If she has locked herself away somewhere here, then I need to find her. I've been looking for any mention of her outside, and looking for any information inside Gardenview about her whereabouts... And I hadn't been able to find anything. No one has seen her since Gardenview shut down... Although there's been whispers of something in the vents that spooked some toons.. hm... Maybe whatever is in the vents has answers.."

[ticktockgatekeeper]

You pretty I'll kill to protect you

Meep meep

His eyes widened, him staring at you in surprise," oh?... I.. please do not do that." He sweat dropped chuckling a little. "I do appreciate the thought and the compliment but... I'd rather you not kill anyone..."
