Welcome to Gaia! ::

He rolled his eyes and muttered something about Merlin's age under his breath. "And how about we just figure out where our first stop is on this little mission, and uh....you guys can chat on the way there." He shrugged as he pushed himself up right. "Besides, I think that would be a much better idea." He moved a little closer to Zero. "After all, hear people can just leave the room to avoid a conversation. Not many places to go in a gummy ship." He shrugged and smirked over at Axel. "Sorry pal, I'm going to side with the one who's currently training me.....well, the body of the one that's currently training me." He flashed a grin, and moved out of the room.

[[writers' block. I hate it so D:]]

Jistin twitched in her sleep from the slamming door before her hazel eyes cracked open at the sound of her friend's voice. She sat up on her hands, rolling her shoulders once, vaguely looking around the room. The blonde looked down and made note of the legs placed where her head had been and groaned lightly, raking a hand through her bangs. “Sorry Italia, I must've fallen aslee--” Jistin cut herself of when her eyes traveled up to the gril's face...and noticed wide green eyes. The blonde snapped upright, completely off the lap that currently was in the possesion of a certain pyro. “AxelI'msorry!” her words ran together in a flustered panic as her hands flew to her mouth. She paused in confusion when the man didn't respond, or react at all, “Axel...?” She followed his line of vision to Merlin and Zero across the room and her eyebrows furrowed in confusion at them. “Is something wrong?"

Jistin blinked hazel eyes at the woman, confused. Italia normally never let Axel dodge away from a question like that. Or at all. She would always yell at him saying that he couldn't hide behind her, or within her in their case. It must have been something that bothered him enough that Italia would cut him a break. And with the person she knew Axel as: cocky, confident, sarcastic, and nearly always smirking. The fact that something bothered him like this was...worrisome. Not to mention the fact that it involved Tsubasa, Zero somehow.

Hotaru sighed as he popped his head back in. "Now ladies, this is time to pack. Once I'm done grabbing some things, we're leaving. And like it or not Zero, I happen to be in need of Phantom for now, so you're coming too. And..." He pointed at Italia, and Jistin. "You two are coming also.....and I'll try to learn names on the way....." He turned his gaze back on Zero, and smirked. "And if you're a good girl, who remains nice and calm," He put emphasize on calm, "You can chat up Axel all you like, cause this is going to be a very long flight, I can personally guarantee it." His smirk turned into a full fledged grin. "Unless of course you want to be stuck with not having any answers....in which case I suppose I can screw around with my unstable power and possibly kill us all with intending too, leaving you here, with just Merlin, Leon, Yuffie, Cid, and Aerith......cause I know how they happen to be your favorite people Zero....." His tone of voice was overly sweet. "And we all know how the old folks looooove to keep their secrets. Especially that old goat." At that point he walked over to Zero, putting his hand on her shoulder. "Besides, Z, it'll be fun watching me screw up and almost get myself killed, right?" He grin had reverted back to a smirk. 'Ugh....the things I do to try and keep the peace.....' He then glanced at Italia. "And no offense, but could you not try to make her angry. Bad things could happen. And I really don't want to see an angry Zero.....as weird as it is, I consider her a friend, and I'd most likely end up taking her side. Regardless of where that put me...." He gave a sigh and shrugged. "Downside of being loyal." He laughed lightly and started walking out the room. "I'm leaving in fifteen minutes. With or without you lovely little people, is up to you." He waved as he left the room. 'I swear.....' He mentally sighed as he shook his head, and started grabbing essentials to take with him on his, and their, missions. "I officially hate like 99% of the women I currently know.....so far, just Aerith hasn't managed to give me a damn headache...." He shook his head as he shouldered the bag he just packed, and started walking to where he left the gummy ship, gathering up enough dark energy to be tracked by Zero.

Italia held up her hands. "As long as she doesn't pester my internal Pyro then I will steer clear out of her way." She turned on heel with a simple meaningless smile at the boy had taken charge. "I'm just hitching a ride. I'll stay neuteral with all ya'lls issues, Captain." she said with a casual salute following him out. She had everything she had brought with her already so it was easy. "Huh, the rain stopped." She observed.

'Thank god.' Axel muttered.

Zero glared after the ebony haired woman, made some sort of hissing noise before disappearing into the room she never used and returning with a duffle she always had packed just in case. "Come on Ji." she said with a nodd of her head. "Before Mr. Bossy gets even more cranky." she rolled her eyes. "I swear he's worse then Riku. Arrogant, bossy, cranky. Well at least he's not paranoid ontop of it." She was grumbling to herself through most of it. She stopped at the door turning to look at the blonde again. "You coming?"

Italia cocked her head at him pausing in looking around the gummi. "Four? I know you Ji and Cranky Miss Zero are, who's the fourth?" She questioned.

Italia hummed in understanding plopping down into the co-piolts seat. "I don't if he doesn't and... can you not pester him about Emmalie and stuff?" She kept her eyes foreward. "I don't know exactly what the deal is, but it's something he really doesn't want to talk about. So I'd appreciate it if you'd leave him alone." She shurgged leaning back. "We're looking for a way to seperate. So Axel can have his own body again... preferbly a heart too." she added. "Having a time share body between a man and a woman is kinda...uh, akward. We were traveling around by CD's but they're kinda unreliable." She laughed nervously.
