Welcome to Gaia! ::

Peng didn't see the glare, he was too busy looking ahead and following Necro.

Necro led them to the large room covered to the walls with thousands of books. It looked like a wizard's study with things floating in midair, as well as something in the center of the room that spun around; it looked like a large clear circle and, in the center, five small rotating orbs at the center. Necro led the two to a table where there was already two lukewarm drinks; Necro's Earl Gray tea and Madeline's usual favorite warm, calming drink. For Peng, there was also a cup, but it was an unclear substance that also seemed warm to the touch.

"Ah, much better. I do like enjoying a moment in my study with good friends and casual conversation. So, Madeline, how was your first project alone?" As if he didn't already know.

"We'll just have to practice harder, then. But its natural to start off rocky your first go around. Time is essential, however. So after this moment we must get the paperwork to those who rally the witnesses so we can go on with the mind-erasing. We can create our story for tomorrow's paper later. That's the easiest part of the job... But the most fun~"

"Necro... What is it that you wanted to tell us?"

"Always to the point with you," Necro chuckled, "Well alright. Peng, do you remember when you first began the Order?"

"Of course."

"Ah, but do you remember how you FELT back then."

"Most of my childhood memories, Necro... After my death, I haven't had success in recovering them. You know that."

"But you remember the day and what happened."

"Of course."

"But not the emotion."

"Well..." Peng closed his eyes to compose his thought. "I can only recall how I felt after that day, when I came home."

"You were proud as a peanut, that whole day!"

"As... A peanut?"

"When you were chosen to follow your father's footsteps Peng, you were the happiest I'd ever seen you. That was when we first met, remember? Oh I hated you so much. You were just so happy."

"I understand you enjoy nostalgia," Peng said, "But what is the meaning of this conversation? What are you leading to?"

"Because," Necro said before he took a long sip of tea, "History repeats itself, Peng. We are the lucky ones to see this re-run. Only imagine yourself not on your first day, but six years later." Necro looked over at Madeline. "What about you, Madeline? Do you remember how you felt your first day?"

Stephen smiled at Tyler. "Alright, got your things? Let's get you to that cafe." He slung an arm around Tyler's shoulders and led him on to the top floor of the academy building. "Onward and upward to a grand future as the history teacher would say. You'll like her by the way, she's a FOX." Stephen let out a light howl of approval.

Tyler stared at him in shock. "She's a shifter too? Or just a fox?" He said, completely missing the point. "I can shift to a fox, would that help?" He asked completely serious. He let himself get lead towards the cafe.

Leon began to wander around. He was free, and wasn't sure what to do. He didn't want to fight or cause a panic, he just wanted to live. He also just wanted to stay as a wolf for a while, he felt free and natural. Subconsiously he began to wander towards the house where he almost attacked that girl.

Narco nodded. "Mmhmm. Fear or pride. Those are the two most common feelings about beginning in the Order, especially the higher plots. The Order, since its founding, has been an organization of light. Volunteer groups to feed the poor, house the homeless, aid the young and the elderly, and protect the innocent are all funded by the Order in some way or another. Without the Order, plain and simple, all of that would collapse. Half of the employment will fail, crimes would skyrocket, and eventually, a creature with unique, unmatchable power would consume Hargamoph and everything would fall into the afterlife." Narco looked at Madeline with a light smile. "Bet you didn't know that. But its true; light finds its home in the Order."

Peng sat up straight. He knew all this; he'd known this for nearly 200 years.

"The problem that the youth has been experiencing is more than fear and pride; its distrust. That is why our dear higher-ups asked me what we should do, and what did I tell them?" Narco sipped his tea again... For dramatic effect.

"Teach them, I said, and they will learn. If they are told outright what is expected of them, then they will know what they must do to fill that expectation. But we do have one problem..."

"Hahaha! No, no man! I meant she is SEXY. Absolutely jaw-dropping. She's so shy and quiet, but loves to teach. Wait'll you see her." They made it to the third floor and Stephen went to the front counter.

"Came for another cream dream already?" The girl behind the counter asked.

"Ha, naw. I came for my new roomie, Tyler."

"Ooh, he's cute," the girl said, waving at him a little and giving him a wink.

"He's looking for a job," Stephen said.

"Oh, well we've got one slot available. We need a new janitor for the back."

"What about Isamu?" Stephen asked.

"She's got to clean the whole school! Don't be rude. She needs some HELP, especially with how messy our recipes are. So just have him fill this out and return it by tomorrow." The girl handed Tyler an application.

Jeremy smiled. "Well we'll have to. Otherwise, we'll never get the curse lifted."

"Clayton? Little baby Clayton's hurt? Oh no Tilly and Danny are BOTH going to be so cross. I better go find him." Ash stood up, and looked at Clone. "Where was he last? Will you take me there? Gina, call Tilly and Danny. Tell them what's happened."

Gina nodded, going over to the phone to make the calls.

Madeleine looked at him, this could be bad or good depending on what was going to be said. She agreed with him on the whole tell them what they need to hear and they will do it, she felt like that was the problem between Peng and Leon that Peng wasn't communicating!!! She prayed Leon would be already cause she knew they would kill him and tried to put the thought out of her mind.

((I want to but Bev stopped me))

((because Bev is taking forevs and I know your on you got caught))

Madeleine could no longer sit there and let Leon slip into more and deeper trouble, she had to stop him..some how. Setting her cup down she ran out the room and out of the order, "LEON!!" she called as she got onto her bicycle, "LEON WHERE ARE YOU??" she called worried. Riding towards town she would call his name every so often but stopped in town, she grew frustrated and headed towards the ocean for some reason it allways seemed to calm her down. "Leon!?" she called looking around, "where are you"

Madeleine was unsure of what to do exactly, it was kind of awkward talking to a bird. "Can you please change to human so we can talk? "she asked softly after making sure no one was around to see him change if he did.

Getting off of her bike she sat on the dock and dangled her feet over the edge barely, "I would like to talk, not to make you stay but to just" she shrugged, "well were kind of both in the same boat so would be nice or whatever". she said rambling on a bit.
