Welcome to Gaia! ::

((My only concern is would be when it happens. I'll need a little time to get my inner evil juices running. Ah...the fun I'll have!!))

Hotaru shook his head. "I would, if I thought I could." He sighed and looked at Axel. "And while it's friendly, don't give advice on this. Neither of us is normally enough to play by the normal rules." He flashed a grin. "Anyways. So, your host calls ya a pyro. Which makes me wonder just how much control ya got with the flames?" He crossed his arms across his chest. "And from there, hopefully, while we travel together, we may be able to add a little extra to the others fire."

Axel closed his eyes again. "People don't start out screwed up." He muttered. "Italia can't fight for herself." He said calmly with a shrugg. "I have enough skill to have kept myself alive despite everyone I pissed off. And enough to keep her alive now."

"Why should Anna be so special to them?" Sarah questioned, looking annoyed. The rest of their group were in a different ship and the boy they had picked up was fast asleep.
"Really, dear, are you still on that?" he said sounding exghusted of the topic. "You really should get a new obsession. Hoe 'bout me?". But his charming smile was only meet with determination and disgust. "As I said, I don't know," he furthered explained. He thought for a moment and a curious look came about his face as he leaned back in his chair. "You know that the element of darkness was introduced, right?" Sarah nodded her head confused. "Bobby, having physic powers had always sense that Anna was powerful enough to control light. Of course, despite her powers, it was only a feeling and no one thought anything of such a crazy idea. But what if..." He shook his head. "But it couldn't be."
"What?" Sarah urged.
"What if she's actually powerful enough to control light? That means, if she was taught before she learned light, she could probably control darkness to." He shook his head. "Crazy theories, that's all it is. There probably isn't a lick of it that's true. Anyways, we're here. It's time to make a decision."

((Did I just let a sercet about Anna slip? AND reveal Sir can actually be smart and maybe even at times wise *sigh* What shall I do?))

Axel sighed leaning back tucking his hands behind his head.

‘Axel...’

He blinked looking over his shoulder. The gummi had turned into a very blank room, mostly grays and whites, with an odd feeling of blue given the science of light and its effect on colors. He avoided looking at the heart shaped moon outside the window. His blank room from those years in the Organization had however begun to grow…homier. A small bouquet of flowers rested on the top of the dresser [Italia] with a popsicle stick. On the wall beside the unmade bed a few photos were tapped, and a sign on the door reading “Italia’s Beach”. Nothing really shook up the static nature of the room though then the presence of the ebony haired girl in a summer dress standing in front of the wall of photo’s holding one.

“Italia?” He cocked his head.

“Emmalie I take it?” She asked turning and holding out a photo of two boys and a girl. One boy appeared distinctly to be a younger Axel, the other had blue hair and smarmy roll to his eyes, while the girl was laughing at whatever she had done to Axel to make him give such a weird face. She was lovely, brick red hair pulled over her shoulder with a checkered ribbon tied around her head for a head band. Her grey eyes were bright and intelligent…and mocking.

Axel snorted flopping against the wall folding his arms over his chest. “Isa and Emmalie.” He ran a hand through his hair. “Man she could be such a brat some days.” He chuckled. “Always had a way of pushing buttons and getting a rise out of people, even Isa.” He shook his head grinning. “But, I couldn’t have asked for a better friend.”

Italia blinked at him staring she pulled the photo closer, looking back down at the three. She looked back up at him slowly. “You… you loved her.” He stared at her levelly, no answer, just an even stare.

He shrugged off the wall coming over and taking the photo, and Italia’s hand, and laying it down on the dresser, face down. “That life is gone Talia.” He said softly. “They’re just ghosts.”

[the plot thickens!!!]

Azeal sat in the usual room with his family, waiting on Sir's arrival. "I swear....that man, he may be good at gathering useful information.....but he sure does like to keep us waiting...."

Akira gave a sigh. "Want me to just drown him? Cause I've only got so much patience when it comes to useless fools...."

Sephira merely shook her head. "Now now Akira, Sir may not have any combative strength, but he does have decent skills at gathering information." She gave a small smile. "After all, it might be something very juicy......if I recall correctly, he was scheduled to come back for a few more days...." With a wave of her hand, the air become a little colder, and quite a bit more stagnant.

((I vote YESS!!! Axel has always been a top fav charie for me since he made an appearance. And, should certain relationships improve with the party, Hotaru's solo mission may just turn out to be an epic party smack down on the old familia. Also, I am now gone for the evening. Take care my lovelies!))

Sir entered the room and gave. "What a pleasure to see you all again. I hope you have been well?" He looked around at them all before continuing. "I come bearing a message from your long lost son. I do believe it was something along the lines of coming back and killing you all." He sighed. "Kids these days..."
"He also had a girlfriend," came a voice behind, he looked to see Sarah. of course, I hope I don't have another ruined ship he thought. "It's your favorite runaway," she continued. "Anna. She's been hiding under Merlins magic this whole time."
