Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryouichi woke up as everyone left the wall. "Uh!? What-!? Aw crap, I fell asleep!" The man yelled clearly dismayed. "Geez, maybe I really should try and stop being lazy..." he said as he sheathed his blades and got ready to use his G.E.A.R. and go over the wall. "Naah, after all, then I'll just end up as a try hard if I stop being me." he said making peace with his lazy ways as he launched himself towards the closest house.

Ryouichi swerved as he drew his blades and held them towards the voice in one quick motion. He glared at her for a second as bloodlust radiated from him. "Who's ther--?!" he yelled until he realized it was just another trainee. "Oh, just another one of you... Are you lost? Or did you run out of gas?" Ryouichi asked as he sheathed his blades, his attitude shifting seamlessly, and walked to a corner of the house where a bed looked to be poorly put together, with a nice amount sunlight pouring through. "Well, if you're looking for a place to stay you can sleep over there." he pointed at the girl's feet as he lay down on the bed, his hands on the back of his head. "I can take you over the walls tomorrow if you'd like, ma'am." Ryouichi said as he turned over towards the girl, still laying down on the bed, "I'm Ryouichi Krugeur, by the way, and to answer your question, this here is my house. Destroyed? Yes. Abandoned? No, I visit often, it's still my house after all." he turned back on the bed and pulled up the sheets as he got ready to sleep. "We can talk more later... Now is ... my... na-- naaappp.... tiiiiime..." he said yawning in between words.

Ryouichi blinked open one eye as he lay on the bed and stared at the girl. "Well, I wasn't given my blades for crafting skills if that's what you mean." he stated as he scratched his head. "Besides, I'll be fine on my own. The Colossals never come out here in the boonies, there's usually no food. And even if they do, I can take care of myself." Ryouichi told her pating the blades on his side. "Although I'd rather just sleep and not worry about Colossi interrupting such a nice day. If only there were SOMEONE around to protect lil' ol' me." Ryouichi said as he raised an eyebrow at the girl hoping she got the message. "It's good training for trainees anyways, on field experience is something you can't learn at the barracks."

"My, my, I'm so lucky to have such a nice young girl here to protect me while I sleep." Ryouichi chuckled. Now he could get some rest AND not work, this day seemed to be getting better and better for Ryouichi. "Oh, you don't need to worry about them coming here, there's always two or three Colossi dumb enough to actually come here." Ryouichi stated as he looked at the girl giggle. "But, I suggest staying here for a bit or you won't know how far away, or even where, they are." Ryouichi said as he pointed towards the corner of a room where a small board was on the wall. The board had various little lights and bells on it as well as little arrow stickers pointing in different directions. "Y'see that? That's how you know where they are, whenever they trip a wire or something around the house these go off. You can tell their direction by which way the arrow is pointed in that column. The first signal's those lights, means they're 35m away. Next is the bell, rings soft enough that the Colossi can't hear it, but loud enough that anyone in the house can. That means they're 20m away." Ryouichi explained as he went on about how the panel worked and how to determine where Colossi were from the house. as he explained a light flickered on and off. "Ah, before I forget, don't worry about that light right there." Ryouichi said pointing to the light as it flickered. "That one just shows how many people are inside the house, cuz y'know bandits suck and want to visit sometimes. The faster it blinks the more people there are. Right now it's just you and me so it's not that much."

"Don't get me wrong, I still live inside the inner walls." Ryouichi said a little disappointed that he couldn't catch up on his sleeping just yet. "But... This is still my home too, y'know? It's a little hard to let go of the place that made me who I am today." Ryouichi said, holding his hand in the air and gripped it into a fist as he talked. "Besides, someone's gotta look after this house. After all, our eventual goal as people is to take back ALL of our land, right? I want to at least have this place to go back to when that happens." Ryouichi told Rilee as he turned his head over to her and smiled with determination in his eyes as he continued to lay on his makeshift bed.

"Gee, thanks." Ryouichi smirked as the girl left the room. "Just try not to get killed out there! If there's any trouble at all just call me and I'll help out!" Ryouichi yelled out to the girl as he almost forgot to say good bye to her before going to sleep. Ryouichi let out a yawn as he stretched out on the bed and quickly began to snore in his sleep.

A large bay courser (horse) walked down the streets of Wall Maria. Its large dark hooves clicked against the street top, powerful muscles flexed underneath of its beautiful bay coat. Its mane was a shocking white and its eyes were calm. The beasts calm demeanor was imparted to it by its breed, the experience it had outside of the walls, and most of all its rider.
Sitting straight up, calm and vigilant was a scout from the scouting legion. His slim frame was cloaked in the scouting uniform, hiding his fit and athletic form. Underneath of his strong, sharp jaw, was a thin scar traveling from his neck diagonally to just over his heart. His dark hair shifted in the wind to reveal his grey-blue eyes and his alabaster skin. At his hips hung G.E.A.R and just above them, on his back rested two katanas.
Castiel Mikomi looked around, calmly watching some colossi only a street over. He did not panic, he simply road slowly past, watching to make sure they did not move. He did not call out to anyone, but simply moved forward calmly. He slowly came toward a small house. Dismounting he walked forward first, his horse behind him. He noticed the trip wires and so slowly stepped over them, directing his horse to do the same.
