Welcome to Gaia! ::

Paragonite wasn't long to make her appearance after Schee. If she had to be there, she figured she may as well be prompt. Not that coming had really been an option. If she hadn't shown up, she was fairly certain that she'd have to listen to Scheelite complain for at least two weeks. That was a forgiving estimate as well. It had been bad enough that she'd had to listen to him go on about it on a regular basis.

So yeah, there she was, not even trying to pretend she was happy about the fact. She had other things to be doing, better things to be doing. Hell, she'd, in all honesty, rather have been doing homework.

Again with the whining of Schee that would have followed, however.

"Scheelite." she cocked half a nod in his direction, looking around the area. If nothing else, she could admit that she did enjoy the snow. Winter was actually one of her favourite seasons of the year. Right up there with fall (spring was too wet, and summer too muggy), though she'd miss the crunching of leaves beneath her feet in the park, and not so much looking forward to bounding through the snow if it got to any amount.

That was more though for later however.

"I hope your evening is going well so far."

Para stared at Scheelite, momentarily wondering if the two weeks of 'wrryyy para wrrryy' that she would have otherwise suffered, been easier to deal with than the party itself.

"Wonderful." she stated dryly. "I can't contain my excitement." she knew the sarcasm would be lost on the boy, but it made her feel just a little bit better about the entire situation.

As he rubbed his hands together, she quirked an eyebrow. "You been drinkin' already Schee?" this, of course, did not refer to any sort of alcoholic beverage. No. Instead she was referring to that accursed Rockstar drink of his.

It was true. It really was going to be a long night. Paragonite would simply have to suck it up though, and deal.

"You should drink juice instead, Schee. It gives you nutrients without all that unnecessary sugar. It gives you good energy." This advice was given to none other than Wolframite, the short, bow-adorn Captain who had stepped out of a nearby alley. He had also gotten word of this great part, and seeing as he was invited to so very little, he just couldn't pass it up. Scheelite had been his teammate when they were both Captains, and he still saw him as a comrade moreso than just the average Nega from being in Lina's team. Wolframite was, in his own way, working with Zink and Schee as he worked to get his own team together. So far he was a lone ranger but not because he was against working with anyone. Maybe he didn't have the flair for it, which seemed something that Scheelite had plenty of as he had his own little team already gathered. Seeing as the bouncy blonde brimmed with friendly enthusiasm, he wasn't surprised. He just attracted people.

Rubbing his shoulders (he wasn't a fan of winter as it kept him indoors – something he HATED), he looked about. He gave a curt nod to all of them, being mindful that he was before two ladies, and then smiled at Scheelite. Of all things to plan, the glowstick-crazy Captain decided to host this sort of get together in the snow…and in town no less. "This could have been just fine in the park." At least there was cover and the trees looked better covered in the snow than a discarded tire and a stripped Volkswagen.

Tanzanite hated her ******** cell phone.

It wasn't that she was against technology, really. It was just that the only half-controlled youma arm thoroughly enjoyed typing whatever it damn well pleased, which more often than not lead to her text messages saying, “********”. Which was fine, except when those text messages were going to a blue-haired Negaverse General with whom she had an already complicated past.

This was approximately the situation she was going through as she popped out of Negaverse subspace and into the small meeting area. Her fingers mashed the keys furiously, her brow drawing ever downward as she attempted to correct the mistakes made by the clawed monstrosity that hung at her side. More specifically, she was frantically mashing the backspace key, deleting a rather lecherous proposal before it could be sent. Of all of the things she would like to do to Linarite, that was certainly not one of them. And absolutely not in public! Eventually, the battle was won, and like the sore loser it was, the arm proceeded to open that wide, gaping maw in it's palm and swallow the electronic device whole. Somewhere inside, Tanzanite's shiny, expensive new iPhone gave it's dying Na-na-na na-na-na na-na-na-naaaa!.

For a woman dressed in stiletto heels and a dress that only came halfway down her thighs, Tanzanite did not seem particularly cold. Her pale, grey eyes met the faces of each of the gathered officers, most of which she had not seen in the time since she'd returned from her assignment in Europe. It was on Scheelite that her gaze lingered, watching as he spoke, her expression slowly changing until it could only be described as: gonk

"Scheelite, what is wrong wi- hey! Stop it!"

While Tanzanite might have been all business, it seemed her arm was not. The clawed hand was already scooping up a handful of snow, crushing it into a lumpy, misshaped ball. It rocketed it off towards Scheelite before Tanzanite could think to stop it, leaving the Captain glaring at her own shoulder and muttering something about how she paid good money for that Plants vs Zombies game.

Zanazziite was freezing, nothing she was wearing protected her from the cold, especially not her heels. She had contemplated coming as plain old Claudia bundled up in two coats, but she didn't think Captain Scheelite would like that. She had heard many rumours about the hyper-active captain, not that he had invited her personally. Her invitation had come through the grapevine, but still.

Stepping up to the group she looked around and smiled. "Hey." She kept a weather eye on the flying snowballs, she really didn't want to get hit with one. Her dress was cold enough already. It took the Lieutenant a moment to look around and when she did she spotted Tanzanite...and her arm. Eyes widened and she started to move closer, but then stopped. She loved youma, and this captain seemed to have one for an arm. She had heard rumours about such a thing, but she thought they were just that. She wondered how that worked, how did she keep it hidden? Did the youma have to eat? (She unfortunately missed the arm eating the cell phone). While all these thoughts were whirring through her head she was approaching Tanzanite's arm the way one would an unfamiliar dog. Slowly and non threateningly as possible. It almost seemed like she forgot there was a body attached to the arm.

Soon enough she was standing inches from the purple haired captain that she had heard such crazy rumours about, and instead of being ridiculously nervous she was just staring at the arm. "Hey there," Her eyes never left the youma arm and it was obvious that she was talking directly to it. Can anyone say awkward?

Scheelite had meant to reply to Tanzanite. Most likely by further interrupting her thoughts on him and possibly even venturing super close to poke at the monster arm and run away giggling. Somedays it was hard to tell whether he had a death wish or he really just was that hyper and crazy he'd do such things without thinking about it. Whichever it was, it was usually entertaining. ...At least for him.

So he had meant to reply to her, but first he got a face full of snow. From a Youma arm, no less! Once he got over the complete shock of snow meeting his face he busted out laughing at the sheer craziness of it all.
"Good one Tanzy!"
Not..that he really knew Tanzanite personally or anything, but he had heard her name before (who hadn't?) and he really had this annoying habit of calling people s**t they likely didn't want to be called. Case in point? Poor poor little Zee. Who, speaking of, was the next one to arrive on the scene....and toss a snowball right at Scheelite.
"HEEEY! Oh come on Zink you're supposed to be on my side, sheesh!"

For the next few moments Scheelite spent his time chattering away and waving at the officers as they trickled in. This was awesome, and clearly had been a great idea! People were having fun already, and it had just started! And now he had enough people to show off what he had been practicing all day...

"I'll be right back dudes!"
Then he was gone, perhaps to the confusion of some and the relief of others. Just why would he call them all together here just to teleport away? Was this some kind of huge prank?

No worries, he was back in a moment.
"WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Ah, there was Scheelite! The crazy-hyper captain of the bunch had teleported away just long enough to grab a discarded trash can lid, and then use it as a makeshift sled to come barreling down the street at the gathered group. Thankfully for those in his way they had the good sense to step aside before resuming staring at his crazy antics. They soon came to an end, the boy slamming right into a nice high embankment of snow.

Clearly though, he was okay. Hyperactive giggles were coming from the mountain of snow that Scheelite had disappeared into.

Hel couldn't help it: She stared at Tanzanite for a good few minutes simply admiring that strange youma arm, and it's well aimed snowball skills. She had heard rumors of the girl but never actually saw her face to face. Such was the case for a good number of the Negaverses more respected members. Though she couldn't help but giggle at the arms target. Schee probably deserved that for whatever reason.

Still she knelt down scooping up two snow balls before offering a cheeky grin at both Zink and Tanzanite before tossing the two balls casually at them. "Now now, I can't have both of you picking on my 'beloved captain' that just wouldn't be right now would it?"

She smiled though walking over to give Zink a light pat on the shoulder, "I owe you a larger snowball for setting me up with him though. You left out a few details about that nu- JESUS SCHEE WATCH WHERE YOU RIDE THAT THING!"

She had to jump away from Zink as the speeding blond flew down on his makeshift sled. Okay, no more being nice to the captain, she grabbed another snowball beaming it at his back with a scowl. "He really did hit the Monster before showing up..."

Turning to the new figure who just joined them she shrugged, "He's a captain alright, bit of an odd one, but at least he's not too terrible?" So far she thought to herself, lord knows what his 'plan' was that he went on about all the time.
