Welcome to Gaia! ::

Takaku looks at the members of the group, he smiles and switches from foot to foot a bit, his way of thinking his words through. "I'll start with you Finn; I assume you're asking if there's any oceans or body of water for you to sail upon? I...eh..." He sort of shrugs a bit. "I have no water in my domain. But, to be on land and be welcomed might be an enjoyable change?" He answers then turns to Baldur. "You're safe at this exactly moment in this exact place at this exact time. Tomorrow, who's to say? At this point I don't even know, but I have a feeling you do."
He turns to Ryssa and Camilla. "Do not use your wrab the way you have been my dear, you might regret it, and depending on what he finds up high you'll want the head of one of my keepers. To you Camilla, the pubs here are quite grand, and I will supply you all with a pouch of marks for spending money, I highly suggest The Arrows of The Evermage, the name isn't great but the drinks will knock you out just like the real deal. Look at what the real deal did to Merin."
Lastly, he turns to Llangion and Titiani. "Titiani, are you so hopeful I'd grant your wish of a swift death? You tied and bound yourself in the hopes that it would all just fade away, but they won't let you rest. You're in a world surrounded by people whose souls you cannot touch, and with an elf who remind you of the days before your mistake. Maybe you won't kill this one? Llangion, I would give you a poetic reason for bringing you in here, but you've wielded the bits of a god before, and I thought you'd be a good loyal minion, I don't think I was wrong with my choice."

He merrily hops back up to his throne, jumps up on the seat, then plops down, oddly hovering over the cushion by balancing on his fingers. "And Alphamai, I'm afraid sending them back would drain me of energy I can afford to spend! You did advise me, did you not, to not foolishly spend my energy at this time of war?" He teases, Alphamai glares at him angrily then sighs slowly. She lowers her bow and assumes her position at his side, her body fading to her humanoid form. She stands roughly 7'2'' next to him making him look like a dwarf, her body becomes muscular like an Amazon's and she appears to no longer be a hybrid. She keeps her weird ears though, and despite not having pants with her doe lower half, she's wearing simple cotton ones now.
Merin assumes his position on the other side of Takaku, the total view showing the throne room split in half, a large mural behind the throne of the sky. 3/4 of the sky is day, 1/4 is night, painted upon it are creatures and people in their respective time frames.
"So, you are probably tired from your run, but before I allow you to enjoy my city for the day, possibly night, I wish to properly introduce myself. I am Lord Takaku, my Denizens refer to me as many things, but you may call me Lord Takaku, Takaku, but not Takak as I will murder you. To my right is Alphamai, she is my keeper of the day, she makes all the creatures of the day, IF something bad happens because of her creatures, you can blame her, but usually it's probably your fault it got to that point. To my left is Merin, he loves you all dearly, I call him star shine, because he puts the stars in my sky at night. WHEN something bad happens because if his creatures...well he doesn't really care if you blame him."
"Incidentally we aren't lovers, he just says things that unwittingly makes him sound homosexual. I'm quite the ladies man, I'm just doomed to suffer with only the occasional eye candy." Merin says, winking at the females of the party. Alphamai bites her tongue but obviously wants to shoot him in the head again.
"So I will give to you 1000 marks each. This will buy you a meal, gear, and whatever supplies you might need. I advise you find a tour guide, which for today only you may pick any Nalizarin who is willing and hire them for free into your service. Please return in a day's time, and don't use the sun as guidance, I don't think there will be a night today."Takaku finishes.

Baldur took Takaku's words to heart, granted during the speech he was trying to figure out where he had seen Takaku's facial features before. Then it hit him "You're Alvergonde's dad! Lord Takaku, god you guys look... well not exactly alike but the facial feature's are pretty freakin close."

"...Son...? What son?" Alphamai growls, eyeing Baldur. She looks over at Takaku then back at Baldur suspiciously.
"I think you're mistaken, I don't have any children." Takaku says with a smile. Merin shakes his head also.
"Lord Takaku is built like a Ken Doll...." Merin informs. Both Alphamai and Takaku look at Merin.
"What's a Ken doll?" They ask. Merin motions to where his bits would be if he were a normal humanoid then shakes his head.
"I have...stuff..." Takaku grumbles. "I just don't see a use to it."
Alphamai heaves a sigh at his response.

Takaku looks at Llangion, the talk about his junk making him a bit uncomfortable. "You...uh...your hair isn't white. Wow I really screwed up here. On a scale from 1 to useful I'm docking you back to like...a 5. I mean you're still pretty useful, and the scale was only to 7, but...I wonder how much I screwed up." He mutters in circles to himself for a moment. "...Ohwell! You're here now!"

Alphamai heaves a sigh and rolls her eyes, part of her obviously bothered by taking orders from an immature god. She cracks her neck from side to side from frustration then regains a calm composure. Merin seems to be watching Alphamai's reaction, a dark look in his angelic blue eyes.

At the front door, a bouncy little girl comes skipping in, she stops quietly behind the group. She sneaks into the middle of the group, looking up at all of them as if she's part of this group now. Her large red demon eyes reflect the deepest pits of hell, but everything else about her radiates pure innocence. She is wearing a pink loli dress, and her hair is dyed to match. Her large bouncy curls make her literally the most stereotypical cute thing you've ever seen, with freckles to match.

Merin eyes the girl now in their midst then smiles friendly towards her. He lowers himself at holds out his arms in a friendly fashion.
"Hey there, you lost?" Merin calls. The small girls smile at him and merrily skips over to him.

Takaku stands up, clapping his hands together. "Positions everyone...you have your assignments and jobs." He states. He sits back in his throne, this time on one knee and no other part of him touches the chair. "In your respective inventory the 1000 marks now appear. They'll appear as 10 bills with a lovely T upon them, spend them wisely, for you'll have to work for more." His eyes go to the girl then Merin, which he shakes his head a little but doesn't do anything to step in.

Merin eyes Ryssa a bit, the small girl hopping into his arms and he hugs her. "This is my younger sister Casia." Merin states, but there's no charm in his voice when he says it; obviously he's a very protective brother.
"Meeerin don't make that face at the new people they'll think you're meeean! Don't be a Meanie Merin..." Casia whines, she lightly tugs the end of his ponytail. "You didn't bother to do your hair right, just got up and appeared didn't you? Ya smell like a smokey potato."
"Younger sister...not my mother...hard to believe right?" Merin groans.

Merin rises up a bit on his legs, any reference to romancing his sister sets him into a protective mode. Casia simply hops out of his arms and does a spin around, her outfit changing to a pink pirate's outfit. "You've got Meanie Merin's spine on edge, dunno why, but whatever. I've got a job to do!" She spins to face Takaku, salutes him, clicks her heels together then dashes through one of the side doors.
Merin watches Casia leave then yawns, the bags under his eyes becoming more apparent. He stretches his arms then waves his hand, disappearing in a puff of brimstone smelling smoke.
