In an instant, Ratigan's jolly nature flipped into fury. "OH, I know whom you speak. And while, I've managed to avoid the notice of the infamous Mr. Holmes…I have my own, meddling detective! That DAMN Basil of Baker Street! That sniveling pest, has been at my feet as far back, as I can remember. Always trying to undermine me and foil my machinations!!!" Ratigan growled, at the thought of his nemesis. "Why he even foiled, my greatest scheme yet! Months and planing and careful work, GONE DOWN THE DRAIN! WHY IF I EVER SEE HIM AGAIN, I'LL…" Ratigan stopped himself. He soon calmed down and tried his best to resume his calm demeanor. "Apologises for the outburst. I'm still recovering from a rather…unpleasant memory." "Do all detectives come from the same street?" Clayton said while giving a chuckle, before making a serious face again "But in all seriousness, I know that feeling, I would have also gotten away with selling those Gorillas...I even managed to kill the silverback...But this...attempt of a man that acted like a chimp SOMEHOW GOT IN MY WAY" Clayton grabbed the knife and stabbed a nearby table, after a bit he calmed down
"But once again, thats why we are here, to take what its ours...Revenge against those people who dont know better than to mind their own business included" "Ohohoho, yes. Oh YES! Quite right sir!" Ratigan agreed, his cheerful mood, quickly returning. "And soon, revenge will be ours for the taking! Along, with all the other prizes of the world!"

"I like your way of thinking professor" Clayton said while smirking, before noticing a few books pulled off "So...Out of curiosity, what brought you here to this library?"

Once again, Ratigan decided against telling him about his alliance with Scar. Despite his becoming friends with the man, sharing ideals and pursuits, he wasn't sure if he could be fully trusted yet. Best to wait a while longer, before jumping the gun. As such, he decided on a half truth: "Oh, nothing to big. I was merely hoping to meet some more of our comrades, in the hopes of building a good working relationship. That was when I stumbled onto Negaduck and his…"teleporter" plans. We've been trying, to get it to work. I was about, to try and contact Varian, a good friend of mine, when you showed up."

"Tele....what?...Thats the second most odd thing I have heard while having been here...Excuse my ignorance, but whats the use of the thing you are trying to build?" Clayton asked, being from the turn of the century, he hadn´t heard of the term. "I have yet to meet this Varian fellow, I assume he is some sort of scientist or engineer?"

"Oh, why my dear fellow, it's ever so simple," Ratigan went onto explain, completely leaving out that he was as lost, as Clayton was: "Essentially, it is a device that allows one or multiple people, to instantly travel from one location to another. Let's say you were in your home, you could use it to move right into Buckingham palace itself. And this particular version, will allow us to travel any locations. Even other dimensions!" "As for Varian, he's a alchemist amongst our ranks. He may be a bit young, but he's filed with potential. Wonderous, USEFUL potential."

Clayton was formerly intrigued, but now he was completely sold, he could not only go back to his world for revenge, but also go to this 'Land of the Black Sands' Mozenrath mentioned. He was now determined to hunt these 'thirdacs', he was still debating wether capturing and selling one on his homeworld, or adding its skin to his trophy collection
"An alchemist? Hmm...Pheraps he could develop new kinds of powder"

“Tell you what, when I ado eventually go to find him, I’ll be sure to mention you. I’m sure, he’d be happy to help you out.” Ratigan, wasn’t used to doing favors for others. But if he was to make an ally of this hunter, and potentially allow him to join, he could at least get on his good side for now.

Negaduck overhears Ratigan spills basically all of his current Teleporter plans over to Clayton and inside this frustrated him. Right now he wanted to squish Ratigan like a bug with a book in hand but now Clayton is aware of this project & truthfully they could the extra manpower, he’ll let this one slide for the time being.
Negaduck hits his own hand to his face in frustration.. “How about a little forewarning the next time you wanted give away my teleporter plans to someone who could easily betray us or rather snitch to somebody else?!” Negaduck yelled in such anger but after he said what he has to say, Negaduck paused himself and takes a deep breath restore his calm clear minded. “It’s all going to be ok, Negaduck. You know you been in this situation before, gotta make the best of it.” Negaduck thoughts to himself and turns his attention towards Clayton.
“Pardon myself if you have to see me response like that, I usually wanted keep these projects in wraps until I gave the say so. I trust you’ll play smart and keep these plans to yourself for my sake? Perhaps you’ll led in a hand on some things just to sweep under the rug?” Negaduck gave somewhat an apology and hope Clayton would volunteer. While he waits for Clayton’s response, Negaduck turns his attention to Ratigan now.
“No hard feelings about snapping at you like that? Wouldn’t you on your way paying Varian a visit and tell him it’s about his good pal Negaduck in need of his service?”

Besides, the best course would be handwaving such situation, as joining them would risk being implicated if they were ever discovered by that bratish herald of Hades.

You’re a good man after all. I’ll let you know when I needed something.” Negaduck said to Clayton in relief and proceed making his exit from the Archive. “Guess I haven’t eaten anything since I got to this castle and all this planning makes me hungry. Now before I begin, I should find something to snack on.” (OOC: I’m now taking Negaduck to the Kitchen thread.)

Oh well, guess we'll improvise) Oh, it was supposed to be a secret eh? Perhaps, if had been informed of that earlier, he wouldn't have outed Negaduck like that. Oh well. Between the him & Clayton, he was more concerned about build a good relationship, with the latter. A besides, when someone tried to create a "secret project" on their own, it usually involved them hogging it for themselves, potentially using it to betray the others. In that regard, he had saved himself the trouble of that potentially happening.…didn't mean, he enjoyed being yelled out. He allowed Negaduck to vent, before turning towards him, with a…somewhat apologetic look: "Oh, dreadfully sorry, was that meant to be a secret. Oh, do forgive me Negaduck, I meant no ill will." His tone turned to a more calm tone: "I simply thought, it would be best to keep our companion here up to date, with any projects…rather than keeping it a secret, for them to stumble upon, and get the wrong idea. These are villains after all. Who's to say, they won't think you're trying to, say, betray them to heroes in order to save your hide or assemble an army to overthrow them while they sleep? If this alliance is going to work, it is best for us to be clear with each other no?" After that, he slowly leaned towards Negaduck, making sure Clayton wasn't looking and whispered: "And besides, I'd like to think he knows better, than to threaten someone as dangerous and cunning as you." If Negaduck, was as much of an egomaniac as Ratigan thought, stroking it would be a good way to calm him down. Once Negaduck, had finished explaining it to Clayton, and then requested Ratigan to go look for Varian, the professor enthusiastically agreed: "Why certainly, my friend. Anything, to make up for a potential slip up. Oooh, perhaps, I can inform him of Clayton's desire to get some more powder as well. Kill two birds, with one stone, yes?" And with that, Ratigan took his leave in search of Varian, exiting with a bow. "Best of luck to you, gentlemen."

"So thats what they feed of..." He though to himself, reading through a few pages, before puting the book back in its place. If he was left alone here, he could be incriminated of these thing Ratigan and Negaduck were working on, not to say find the snarky brat. The last thing he wanted was seeing that guy bragging once more, for now it would be better to find a place to use as main base, considering he would be staying here for an inteterminate time.
