Welcome to Gaia! ::

Maso frowned slightly at Krystina this time as Trevor started snickering. "Um... You kinda just proved he's mentally unstable..." he mumbled lightly while scratching the back of his neck.
"Day two through day seventeen of being in my house alone. Sheik, Shayde and Maso fixed up my house while taking anything I could hurt myself or others with away from me... I curled up in a ball when they showed up and refused to do much of anything," Trevor snickered lightly before glancing up at Krystina with a glittering pinkish-red gaze. "I've been trying to get over her for years... I'm weird about things."

"I understand what you mean, Truth. It's scarred you and trust is hard to find after that kind of thing," Ephraim said softly before biting his lip. He'd never personally experienced it, but he knew someone who had the bad luck of experiencing it. It took a long time to calm the person down enough to not start screaming at the sound of a phone ringing.
"Cool. Would you like to commence Operation Kill That Evil b***h after breakfast or a little later in the day?" Hades smiled lightly as a hint of that darker assassin that had become so legendary flickered through his eyes.
"You'll get used to the whole ninja-assassin thing, which is completely different than bounty hunters or whatever you wanna call it, after hanging around with these guys for a few days. They have their own little creeds meant for assassins and ninjas which makes one seem less gentle than the other."

Maso sighed lightly as Trevor pulled himself to his feet by using Maso's arm. "Actually, Sheik was too embarrassed to have the closest sane family member he had suddenly doing that. Apparently, my being risen from the dead without any memories of having died let alone anything at all except for a few words leaves me in the category of unsure of mental stability."
"Only those who were with me during my meltdown know about my instability. To some, Truth for example, I seem depressed and like I'm forcing smiles and whatnot. To others, Sheik, I'm deciding whether or not to drop a blowdryer in a tub full of water or slitting my wrists while laughing like a madman," Trevor hummed lightly seeming as if he hadn't just run out of the diningroom away from his ex-wife a moment before.

"I was just giving a general idea. There's always levels of danger involved with a job. There's the executioner who will just kill people via lethal injection or the electric chair nowadays. It used to be bludgeoned by rocks, drowned via large rocks in a lake or pond or being hanged until dead. Witch trial days. Then there's the bounty hunters, the closest thing to a ninja I've ever seen, who are asked to catch someone alive so they can be brought in for questioning or put in jail. Killing someone isn't an option. Then there's the assassins who-" Ephraim murmured before getting interrupted by Hades.
"Assassins are given a target or multiple targets to simply kill. Being noticed is not an option. Assassins aren't loveable people. Every little sound, movement, even a breeze can set off a defensive reaction from an assassin and sometimes you kill an innocent that isn't on the target list and everyone considers you an enemy. It's fine with me, Truth," Hades stated rather bluntly while making a new set of chopsticks appear in his hand.
"That's just a summarized way to put things. Assassins have become less and less over the years due to the whole people not wanting to commit their lives to being hated for getting rid of those that others fear removing from their pedestals. I'm pretty sure that you ladies have noticed that Trevor, Lucius, Hades and Shayde all have a black ring around their left hand's ring finger. That's the sign of their commitment."
"The only reason they changed the rule of having that finger cut off was because I was like seven when I became an assassin and I kicked the guy who was gonna cut my finger off between the legs and called him a f*cking moron. I refused to have my finger cut off so the elders decided it'd be better to just put a branding around my finger. That was a fun time considering we still used horses for travel."

Maso smiled lightly and nodded at Krystina's comment. "C'mon or I'll eat you, Trevvy," he muttered softly as he slowly started following Trevor into the diningroom.
"Fine. I'll eat a little bit," Trevor sighed softly before starting to mouth the words to All Around Me by Flyleaf. He sat down beside Truth and started chewing on a piece of sausage mostly just for show that he was going to at least eat a little bit of food.

"Hades, you're pretty blunt about things. Ever think of actually dragging a conversation with someone?" Ephraim sighed lightly before shrugging. He just took the differences of jobs as another piece of intelligence. He found the most difficult of intelligence as the most intriguing. Those he could easily get weren't as interesting.
"I gave up on long conversations after my living with the faeries turned out into one big point your finger at th onlly one who isn't one of us for her death fiasco. You're welcome, Truth," Hades mumbled around shoveling the rest of the food on his plate into his mouth getting a raised eyebrow from Trevor and Maso.
"We were talking about the different jobs for people like bounty hunters, assassins, ninjas, and the simple executioner. You good Trevvy?" Ephraim just nodded when Trevor nodded slightly at his question. He didn't want to push it any further.

"She is?" Maso asked with a raised eyebrow as Hades' hand snapped the second set of chopsticks and his eye twitched slightly.
"I am. I'm just eating slowly," Trevor mumbled before glancing at Hades standing up and taking his dishes into the kitchen to wash them.
"Apparently he didn't notice... Hades, you might want to clarify your... issues with the faeries. I'll make some coffee," Ephraim sighed while standing up and heading into the kitchen just to push Hades back into the dining room.
"... It was after the Titanic sank and "Jack Dawson died"... Jack Dawson was an alias I used to get close to my target. I didn't expect Masao to be playing as Rose, the target's fiancee, I got distracted and I died trying to save her while also failing in killing my target. Since I'm an Endless, I returned to life, but since the assassins couldn't find me, I washed up on a shore and Tintlet, the faerie princess, found me alongside her bodyguard, Silk. They thought I was dead at first until I started moving. After I came to completely, I got asked a bunch of questions about who I was, where I came from and so on and so forth. I couldn't recall as per the usual of Endless returning to life," Hades sighed softly while leaning against the wall, his eyes focusing on a window as if looking through it to the past.
"It ended up with me being welcomed into the fey kingdom to start a new lifestyle. I became close friends with Silk and Tintlet and eventually a bodyguard to Tintlet as well. Silk and I used to take walks down by the river and the one time I left her safe and sound by the river, she vanished... Her body still hasn't been found and the fey judged me as her murderer. They tried to kill me and I ran away. I'm a wanted man in the fey realm all because of a faerie vanishing."
"Sounds like the song Hazard by Richard Marx... Okay. Drop the glare, Rune. Seriously. It was just an observation," Ephraim muttered before dropping his gaze when Hades shot him a dark glare.
"It's not a laughing matter, Ephraim! How did I not notice she was a faerie?!" Hades hissed before glancing back at the window.
"Does Sheik know you're a wanted man in the fey realm?"
"No... I'm surprised Ephraim even knew of it..."
"Ouch. That's gonna make things seem relatively awkward."
"Hi again, Karma." Trevor dropped down under the table only to scowl and climb back out from under the table when he heard a snort from Hades.
"Not funny..."

"That might be helpful," Maso murmured lightly as he tapped his finger against his chin.
"True enough. She didn't like appearing in places more than once a day," Trevor sighed lightly as he lightly hugged Truth back.
"Rissa, would you like anything added into your cup of coffee? I think we already have the males covered in what exactly they are," Ephraim murmured as he set down a cup of coffee in front of Rissa and a few different types of creamer down considering the cinnamon and sugar were already on the table.
"I should just return to playing deaf," Hades muttered more to himself than to anyone else while remaining against the wall. "That or I could just go set myself on fire and wait until I completely burn to nothing so I can't return from the dead. I hate my life..."
"Don't tell me you're hating yourself for falling for a faerie now," Ephraim sighed lightly while watching Hades slide down the wall and hiding his face behind his arms and knees.
"Hades, I doubt she'd turn you over to the faeries if she did make it back to the fey realm."
"Shut up. I just want to be invisible right now."
"He's pouting. It's easy to tell when an assassin is pouting when you used to be one." Hades just responded by getting up and leaving the dining room without a word. He sat down in the room Sheik was in remaining silent, his head lightly leaning against his knees and his arms wrapped around his knees.

"Aw. Lianna, he doesn't hate you. In fact, it's rare to find anyone he actually hates. He's just super paranoid," Maso frowned at Lianna's reaction to Hades now wanting to become invisible.
"That and since he fell for her yet she said she kinda wants to go back there one day, well... He can't be there to make her feel better about things due to being a criminal there. If she returns, she is basically saying that she just thought of them as a fling," Trevor murmured softly before tapping his finger to his chin. "So we have the to pureblooded Sheikahs, Sheik and myself. Then there's the vampire and the faerie, Krystina and Lianna. The two multi-species, Kansei and Kana. The Sheikah fallen angel, Watari... er... Maso. The Sheikah/demon, Truth. The two unknown dark entities, Shayde and Ephraim. The werewolf, Lucian. The blood demon/wild elf Endless, Hades. The immortal elementalist, Rissa. Then there's Skylar... What is he? I also feel like I'm missing someone..."
"Here you go, Rissa. I didn't know we were checking our lists of who is what species," Ephraim sighed lightly while stirring a bit of sugar into her coffee before taking a sip of his own cup of black coffee.
"Ew. Black coffee. I can't even stand coffee."
"I have to drown it in milk, french vanilla creamer and six tablespoons of sugar."
"You want any coffee with that cup of sugar, creamer and milk?" Trevor and Ephraim smiled at the joke as if they'd been having those words join every little cup of coffee in the morning for years.

"He doesn't hate you. He's just paranoid," Maso murmured with a sigh.
"You might wanna tell him that. He's probably taking the whole idea as a fling. Alrighty then," Trevor smiled as he glanced around the table and started eating a little bit of the scrambled eggs and bacons. "So that's everyone. We've got a mash-up of a bunch of creatures here."
"You didn't have any coffee actually. I just happen to carry a bunch of different things on me and coffee is one of those things I just happen to have on me," Ephraim murmured with a light smile.
"Nasty stuff."
"It can be yummy if you mix it with the right things."
"Coffee is delicious in many ways. Maso, you're like way too picky about what you eat or drink."

Yea. What's up? Lucius responded while keeping his eyes closed. It wasn't like he'd be able to see her anyways. He let out a small sneeze before rubbing his nose with his paw.

Trevor stopped eating and pushed his plate over to Maso when he saw him starting to eat. "You're too skinny." was all he muttered before leaning back in his chair and lightly brushing his fingers through Truth's hair. Maso just rolled his eyes and continued eating relatively quickly. Ephraim had finished up his plate of food and was now working on his second cup of coffee in silence. He was more lost in thought of what to do if Shayde's darker side came out than anything else.

Hades glanced up at Sheik when he heard a slight hiss only to notice that he'd accidentally woke himself up by trying to move in his sleep. Be careful, Sheik. I don't need you hurting yourself worse. Sheik's hand twitched enough to where he could flick Hades off before starting to slide back into a deep sleep. Hades just rolled his eyes before stopping his gaze on the door. Lianna's presence had moved and seemed to be looking for him. He sighed softly to himself before moving to where he was sitting in the hall outside of the room Sheik was in.
