Welcome to Gaia! ::

Leon nodded. "I see. Is she a shifter as well?" He asked curiously, still nibbling on his muffin. He tried to see her, looking around patiently.

Tyler took the pills. "Thanks.." He replied, trying to keep in mind the not to fly thing. He hoped he wouldn't forget, and part of him wondered what would happen. He looked up at the name. "I... I think so. That was the name in the book. I tried to shift into one to escape." Tylers hand flew up to cover his mouth as the chains clanked together. "I mean..." He tried to think of an excuse.

"Um... nothing. I didn't escape anywhere. And I wont go back!" Tyler said a little too defensively. He turned away, beginning to shut out Jeremy. He shivered once at the memories that caleb showed him. "The.. chains are for show." He mumbled weakly.

Leon tilted his head curiously. "Whose clayton?" Leon asked. "Is he a problem?" A low growl escaped his mouth. Leon really had to work on separating himself from his animals occasionally. He looked embarrassed about the growl and took a bite of the muffin to preoccupy him.

"He is a nuisance... We may end up making a scene here." Peng looked around. "At least there are few witnesses, and as long as the bystanders are not harmed, we can disturb the peace if we must. Since we are in Curtesia, we do not have to hide as cautiously."

Clayton chuckled, "Sure look like a princess ta me," Clayton said, opening the door for her only to see who was inside. Suddenly getting in front of Clone to protect her, Clayton glared at Peng. "YOU."

"You're lying to me," Jeremy replied with a sigh, "Don't worry, you don't have to go back anywhere. You are safe here. This Academy, since its founding, has always been above the Order. Even they can't get you here. But if you do not tell the truth, we can't keep you as safe as we could if we knew what we were keeping you safe from. Also, it is possible I may know why the wings won't leave if you are honest with me."

"Doctor... Room?" The minotaur heard Clara introduce himself, so he pointed to himself and replied, "My name is Brutus."

Hypatia giggled and tweaked his nose a little. "That brave boy act won't work when it comes to Mr. Graves. He's meant to be feared. Thats how he keeps the Academy safe. If WE don't fear him, then what are the chances enemies would, you see? Besides, no one is immune to Mr. Grave's fear. Because we all have it..." Hypatia looked off into the distance, then added, "Fear, I mean..." She looked back at him and offered her hand as if she expected him to kiss it. "You can call me Luna. If you're a good boy, I'll show you around once your house is decided."

Clayton saw something morph out the corner of his eye and noticed the wolf. Great, he had a friend. Peng kept most of his gaze on Peng, but did not forget about the wolf. "For what you did to Lizz I ought to tear you to pieces!" Clayton shouted, "Waddya want? Why are you here?"

"Is it that improbable that I came here just to enjoy a moment of peace?"

"Go ta Hell."

"I was only making sure." Peng stood up and took a couple steps. "Don't hold so much anger towards me, Clayton. This is nothing personal, its business."

"Yea? What is."

"I need to take the girl from you."

Clayton looked surprised, then he acknowledged the girl behind her. "Clone?! You ain't gettin' a single hair on her head!" Clayton's catlike eye showed his ferocity. He moved his hand slowly to his pocket and gripped something. "Over my cold, dead body."

"Clayton..." Peng closed his eyes and bowed his head, as if he was regretful it came to this. Then he lifted his head, his eyes cold and focused on the prize. "You brought this upon yourself." Peng nodded to Leon, giving him the signal to go after Clayton.

Jin smiled at the two. That sounds lovely." He said with a laugh. He went and pulled Nathan over so he could sit on the other side of them wrapping his arm around both Luca and Nathan. "There we are..nice and cozy." He said cooing at them happily.

"They're from the Order. I don't know what they want from you Clone but they ain't takin' ya!" Claton turned his body to Leon and pulled his fists out of his pockets. Clayton bent low and tossed Leon over him and into a table. "Stay close ta me, Clone! If ya try to run Peng'll just grab ya." Two against one, this wasn't fair. Not when one could turn incorporeal. "Don't make me mad, I swear to Almighty, Peng!"

Peng lowered his eyes. "We wouldn't have to fight if you just let her go. I promise she will not be harmed."

"Yes you make a lotta promises, you sonofa b***h! Go on then, make me mad! We ain't in Torusa anymore, Toto, I don't have ta hold back here. Come at me!"

Clayton wasn't going to let Clone get captured, no way. And Peng knew how dangerous Clayton really was. Of course he'd know, the Order had files on anyone and everyone.

Nathan sat there. He was tense at first, but eventually his muscles relaxed as the movie began to play.

Luca was overjoyed and curled up close to Jin, watching the movie but paying attention only halfway. He was too busy thinking about the possible future. Him, Jin, and Nathan together forever and no fighting, no yelling, and no crying. As of that moment, Luca considered his life to be absolutely prefect.

The movie was about a young man in love with a girl who was getting married to the man's rich older brother. After some time in the movie, it became apparent that the woman was actually a man posing as a lady to marry the brother only to have him divorce 'her' for not having sex with him later for half his fortune. The main character found out about this and tried to get the 'woman' to confess or be caught, but in the end the main character ended up saving 'her' from a rich mobster who 'she' conned before that was trying to kill 'her.' After being saved and the wedding was called off, the main character and the crossdressing man fell in love and began starting a new life together.

Luca thought it was a beautiful story and it had a lot of emotion and showed the struggle for both the main character and the crossdressing male.

Nathan found a lot of it disturbing and ridiculous, but LOVED the explosions. Also, the mobster guy was pretty cool.

Brutus looked down and his ears went back in shame. "I... I was hiding because... I was confused, and I still am. This isn't the desert, and I cannot leave far from you for some reason. Ooh." Brutus put his hands up to his horned head, "I'm so frightened..."

Hypatia sighed. Obviously, this man was not familiar with female customs... Although she supposed those not from Merthage wouldn't understand. She put her hand down. "Necro you say, what an interesting name. To share a name with death... How bold."

"Oh... You poor boy." Jeremy put a hand on Tyler's head, then he smiled at him. "You're safe now. You cannot become captive here. Now, let me ask you a few questions more; how much control do you have over your powers? Does it naturally hurt to change? Also, do you know if your powers come more from the darkness or more from light?"

Leon yelped as he crashed into the table. He struggled to get up, his paw caught on a tablecloth. He felt his own anger starting to build up. He was starting to only care about beating the man. His formed rippled and suddenly he turned into a large blackbear. He let out a loud roar and charged at the man, swiping a paw at him not aware of the fact he was probably also endangering the target.

Tyler frowned slightly. "I don't have too much. I never had time to learn, they figured my powers got in way of my work so they never let me practice. I change when I panic or feel strong emotions. It doesn't hurt to change most of the time, only when my wings hurt like before. I don't know why the wings wont leave." He confessed with a sigh. He could shift fine but whenever he tried to get rid of the wings his body flared up with pain.
