It was a rather cold day when Rouge returned to the GOTP HQ. And it actually had not been long since she'd accidentally arrived there and met Malen and Kishi. It was a good day in some ways for the space pirate but in others it was a crummy one. Rouge loved the grey skies and the pretty fall leaves but she hated the cold.
As the woman wandered into the warm and friendly main room of the headquarters she grinned broadly. Today's attire was a red turtle neck worn under a dark jean jacket, with a light pink eyelash yarn scarf around her neck. Dark blue jeans, black high top converses and a black belt adorned her lower half and revealed that she'd had a good time shopping in this world. Though her clothing appeared to be adorned with rhinestones and what looked a bit like nail polish which had most likely been added by her.
Her orangy-gold hair was pushed behind her ears today except for the bangs which were clipped back with large gold pins which bore red gems on them. These matched the chandelier earrings she wore today.
All in all the woman seemed warm and cheerful now that she'd entered the room where she'd met Kishi and Malen. She just hoped she got to meet more interesting kids today.

Aurrek numbly pushed his new pram around town, letting the new baby inside it get some fresh air. The hourglass god just sort of stared straight ahead as he meandered absently down the sidewalks, though the corners of his mouth occasionally twitched into something approaching a smile when the translucent boy bundled up inside the carraige gave a squeal of joy at something nearby.
The god had no idea how on earth he had ended up with a child, and so soon after coming to Gaia. Was it necessary to have one here? It was a good opportunity for him and all, but really, should anyone be trusting him with kids?
When he finally snapped out of his little confused trance, Aurrek found himself inside the headquarters of the Ghosts of the Past. He had been here once before, but had left quite promptly as he was not sure he was supposed to be there. Maybe subconsciously he had wanted to look around more?
The large white crab that was Aurrek's constant companion had been sitting on top of the shade on the pram, occasionally dangling a claw or something in the baby's field of view. When it realized they were inside the mysterious headquarters again, though, it crawled off the edge and dropped onto the floor, then proceeded to scramble around the floor, exploring.
Aurrek himself wheeled the pram over to one of the sofas and plopped down on one of them, looking around for signs of anyone who might tell him to get out.

Rouge blinked, noticing the man and the pram he'd entered with. She smiled broadly. "Hello!" the woman said cheerfully waving.
For some reason she didn't think that this man was one of the wand children's parents. He didn't really seem to have a clue about this place and there was just this vibe about him that showed he'd wandered cluelessly in just as she had.

Looking up with a bit of a start, Aurrek half-rose from his seat as he heard someone speaking to him. When his eyes found Rouge, he stood up completely.
"Sorry, is this your place?" he asked, rubbing his eyes a little with one white-skinned hand while the other remained where it was on the handle of the pram. "We can leave if you'd like."
He shot a brief glance at the crab, who scuttled back closer to him again, and went underneat the baby carriage. The crustacian then peeked back out with its little dark beady eyes, and waved a claw at the woman.

"What mine? No. I just wandered in here a few days ago and came back to visit." the woman responded cheerfully, waving at the crab.
"I'm not really sure where the owners are today. I met one of them and his daughter the other day but I haven't found them yet today." she said a bit sad at that. Kishi had been nice to talk to as had Malen. She'd hoped to meet more of the guardians and there children this time but so far there appeared to be no one present but this man, the baby and the crab.
Though she was rather curious about the baby. Maybe she'd go over and take a peak. But that might be considered rude so she waited till she had permission.

Aurrek nodded a little and sat down again, and adjusted the folds of his navy blue velvet robes over his legs. He looked quite dressed for cold weather, certainly, with robes that covered him from chin to toes that were trimmed in fur besides. It was a wonder he was not already overheating now that he was indoors, but temperature never really bothered the god.
"Who does this place belong to, then?" he asked hesitantly. "Do you know? They don't mind random visitors like us, do they?"
From within the folds of his blanket inside the basket of the pram, Kelreid squirmed a little and made a small noise. Pretty things had stopped moving by his field of view, and he was getting bored with the ceiling of this building!
Immediately making shushing noises, Aurrek started to move the pram back and forth a little on the floor, hoping the bit of movement would appease the baby for the time being.
The crab crept out from under the carriage as it bumped against the edge of his shell a few times, and waved a claw at Aurrek.

The woman, hearing the nose, walked forward and looked down at the baby, smiling. "Cute little one." she said softly, grinning.
"And no I'm not quite sure about that. I know Malen didn't seem to have a problem with me showing up but honestly I couldn't tell you." she said, shaking her head and causing her chandelier earrings to swing slightly.
This baby was cute but she wondered if any others would show up. That would be pleasant. Children were fun.

"You! Get out of there!" Ordered a woman from one of the back rooms, seemingly cross. Something slowly closed with a soft click, folloed by a giggle. A minute or two later came the uneven, awkward thuds of an uncoordinated child running. It wasn't long after that until a bobbing mass of white hair was seen occasionally over the back of the couch. Before anyone could see what the mass belonged to though, there was a surprised squawk and the mass disappeard in favor of a rather loud thud onto the floor.
"Way to go, Zah." The woman spoke again, only now she was visible, and she sounded more sarcastic than cross; she had the likeness of a humanoid butterfly, from the angled eyes to the antennae to the wings. Leaning over to disappear for a moment behind the couch (save for her wings, of course), she gathered up her fallen 'child' and stood back up, sitting the dark-skinned boy on her barely existant hip.
The Drow was frowning and rubbing at his face, his slightly glowing purple eyes scrunched up in distaste. Stupid floor. Then, he suddenly lowered his hands from his face, having spoted the other people in the room. Leaning forward so quickly Neveah almost didn't catch him again, the boy waved frantically. "ECHK!" He practically yelled his greeting, his purple eyes wide with glee. People! Peoplepeoplepeople!

Rouge's gaze raised from the baby in the pram to the toddler in the woman's arms and she smiled broadly. This one, he definately had to be the Drow that Kishi had mentioned. There was no mistaking one of that race.
Walking back across the room to stand in front of the butterfly woman, Rouge seemed to dwarf the other. Most people wouldn't notice how freakishly tall the space pirate was but when one is over a foot shorter than her its kind of obvious. With a slightly concerned look on her face she looked at the boy in the other woman's arms. "Is he all right?" she asked. He seemed to be okay from the excitment he was showing at seeing new people but one could never tell.

At hearing a voice commanding someone somewhere to "get out of there", Aurrek jumped to his feet again, scooting the pram forward a bit more quickly than he thought was safe. He winced a little in fear that Kelreid would start crying, and at the same time glanced around the room in an effort to find the source of the voice.
The white crab picked at the carpet with its claws as it felt tremors in the ground, and turned to try to see with its little nearsighted eyes where the vibrations were coming from.
As the carriage moved forward suddenly, Kelreid let out a little squeal of glee, and clapped his hands as well as his infantile coordination would allow. Then he squirmed around in his blankets as he heard more voices, wondering what other pretty things were nearby and making talking noises. Where had Daddy taken him? This was exciting!
(( Sorry for the delay; dealing with a drunk friend on AIM @.@ And I'll make Kelreid's color more readable sweatdrop ))

Kishi emerged from the trianing room and stumbled into the hallway. the gwas exhuasted and all she and he father had done had been warm up exorsises. Her back ached from using her wings so muchand the rest of her body felt like lead. It was quite an effort just to hold onto her wand and she was seriously contemplating ignoring whoever was making such a racket in the living room and just going to lay down.
That thought left her however as she saw who the noise makers were. While two of the people were unknown she recognised Zah, Neveah and Rouge. All three of which were in her favorite people list. "Hi you guys " she called out though her voice was weary and it was obvious that even though she was excited she was beat.

"Heya Kishi!" Rouge called over waving to the child. The girl seemed dead on her feet and probably about to collapse. With a smile the woman asked "Why don't you sit down? You look like you're about to collapse."
Well this had picked up somewhat. First in had come some strange guy with his baby, then the butterfly woman with her drow child-how funny a spiderling with a butterfly- and then the small succubus had arrived. Though right then the way Kishi looked she was probably pretty tired.

"He's fine...He's gotten himself into worse scrapes before, I assure you." The Butterfly woman was laughing then, shaking her head. Of course she noticed the height difference between her and this other woman but really...as long as her wings werent threatened she could care less. "Besides, If he can wrestle with Kishi, he can take a little spill on a carpet." Neveah grinned over at the child ghostling in the room. "Ahh...you look nervous." This time, the woman was staring at the man with the pram, her angled aqua eyes glittering with amusement.
Zah leaned against Neveah when the tall woman leaned close to him, his purple eyes wide and staring. Strangegirlstrangegirlstrangegirl! Gotta get away Gotta...Oh hey, Kishi! "KEYSHEE!!" Zah practically shrieked out, making grabby hands for his friend. The sight of Kishi made him overlook the other man and the other baby in the room...but then again when he saw any of his friends he usually accidentally overlooked Neveah, too. "Keysheeeee~ Keyshee ticondo?" She looked tired to him, but maybe he was imagining it?

As the number of different talking sounds increased, so did Kelreid's curiousity. The infant let out a little whining sound and clenched his little hands into fists, and started to try to squirm to a sitting position. Finding this impossible, he settled for the next best option, which was to start crying.
Aurrek leaned down to pick the little boy up out of the pram as he started making a fuss, and shushed him, hoping Kelreid would not start a full-blown tantrum.
"There, you can see now, right?" he pleaded with the boy, turning to all the others who had just arrived and pointing. The god listened to them talk as well as he could over the baby noises going directly into his ear, hoping to pick out at least a few of the names.
Kelreid scrunched up his face, then bugged his eyes out, trying to get everyone in focus. There were a bunch of people shapes moving around in front of him! And some of them were littler than others. He squirmed a little in Aurrek's hold, trying to flap is arms at the people shapes.

Kishi walked down the hall and waved at Rouge " Just a littl excersise I'm ok. Dad will be out in a bit he's actually training. Oh did you know you can put clip on earrings on animals. I put some on my catflower thing Kit and he didn't mind and his ears didn't look hurt at all later." The young succubus gave a bit of a sigh while plopping down onto a chair being careful to avoid squishing her wings. Even though she was just starting to learn how to fight she hadn't though that just the warm up would exhuast her. Still even if she couldn't relax in her room she could talk with friends
Speaking of friends she grinned at Zah and reached out with her wand to poke him. She wasn't sure what he'd said but like the day when she'd visited him she went with her gut, she figured he was asking if she was hurt or something of the like. Then again he could be asking for cookies so who knew." I'm ok , sore but ok, Kishi is learning to fight and be strong like her father."
Finally she directed her attention to the unknown member of the group. "Helle there my name is Kishi, I've never seen you before" she peered closer at the baby the man held " Is that a wand baby?"
