Welcome to Gaia! ::

A evil grin comes across my face as I chase down and pin the poor soul to the ground. They break free but they are not fast enough to escape for long. Once I get a firm hold on them, I begin tearing the flesh from their bones. Their screams are cut short as I tear their throat out. Blood and body bits start to fly as I continue to tear them limb from limb, piece by piece as if i was tearing open a present. The entire thing is a blur of red to me but by the end there is only a mangled rib cage and a large pool of blood.

I get up covered in blood and run to the nearest alley to hide.

"I have no friends." I mumble pulling myself into a ball in the corner. My though turn towards the sadistic guards and my gruesome execution.

-]Ryssa pulled the money out of her pouch, glancing at it, and paid the man. Rather than worrying about getting change she just said, "I'll take another of the same, too." The young-ish row woman lifted her mug of ale and downed it quickly. Her eyes then turned to the rowdy able that Finn was sitting at, and she watched the proceedings with interest. The pirate lady was certainly inteesting, and she was able to get some insight into the cards as well. Apparently, Yellow meant fear, Red meant helpful, Blue meant indifferent and useless, and Black meant....she wasn't sure, but clearly it wasn't anything good or enjoyable.[-

-]The entrance of her group members caught Ryssa's eye and she saw the tossed cookies. "Damn, and you haven't even had anything to drink yet," she teased, "What a lightweight!"[-

-]"Oh no, there's no blood in this," Ryssa told the girl, "Unless blood tastes different here than it does at home. No, that guy was killed for Finn's benefit, I guess. And this is the local red ale."[-

Ryssa+Titiani- "Actually, you're drinking crushed beetles so technically there is blood in it." The barkeep informs. He laughs seeing Titiani turn green at that.

Finn- Starania leads him through the city to an inn, when she walks in the innkeeper looks at her then Finn, pulling out his card which is also black. Starania pulls her weapon and points it in his face. "If you play this game right now, I will bury you out in the plains to die every morning again and again." She threatens. The innkeeper puts his hands up, shaking his head a bit.
"Then trade cards with me, I don't want to get in trouble!" The innkeeper shouts. Starania rolls her eyes and snatches his card, giving him the yellow one. "But if you don't kill him, the guards will arrest ******** the guards, get him a room so he can clean up. Also, your shirt looks about his size, and it's a lovely cotton. Give it to him." Starania demands. The innkeeper stares at her in disbelief but does as he's told, knowing he can't put up a fight with her. "Good lad, now hurry the fack up with the room."
The innkeeper places his shirt on the counter then runs off to get a room. Starania turns and smiles at Finn, giving him a light punch on the shoulder. "So, Finn, I have a serious question for you."

Titiani- The barkeeper just starts laughing then places a tankard of water on the counter. The water makes little waves on the top of the glass, as if it were a mini ocean. Upon closer inspection, it's hundreds of thousands of tiny little beetles all crawling over themselves.

*Shorts begin to strain once again*

"What?"
