Welcome to Gaia! ::

At first when Ter had ask for him go come along on one of his trips out of the house he had been exstatic, finally his brother was wanting to make friends with him that was a great sign that Chath's plan had actually worked. Despite everything and despite it not seeming to have sunk in he had been wrong. Though... as they moved along Ter seemed awfully quiet, as if he were thinking hard on something, plotting something. No matter though Ter hadn't really ever talked much Ligeia had been rather amazed at how much he opened up to and talk with Zyanya. It was like he was a whole other person.

"So where are we going?" Ligeia finally asked, they were in a strip mall, not the one that he normally went to where all of the stores were inside but instead one where there were just a lot of places to shop side by side with a walk way connecting them.

Ter looked over at him for a long moment then a smirk spread over his face, and he pointed, "Some bonding." He told him.

Ligeia followed to where his brother was pointing at then stopped dead in hsi tracks. Ok he knew that Ter's idea of making friend with people and cementing a relationship was to get piercings together. There was his kitty friend Lucia, Kale, and even Zyanya from what he had heard but...

"Ah... wha? Oh! No, you can't possibly be thinking..."

Ter snagged hold of the owl boy's wrist and started to tug him along, "Make you look tough." He told him, Zyanya had helped to work on the clothing. Today Ligeia was even wearing pants and a shirt that didn't have some sort of happy picture on the front. The only thing he wore that ruined the almost looking like a boy look was the bracelet that he refused to take off. Ter couldn't say anything though as he was wearing a bit of jewelry too, a ring. It was the only thing that the snake boy really ever wore aside from the occasional belt to hold his MP3 player.

"But I don't..." Ligeia gave in, he didn't want to upset Ter or make it seem like he didn't want to hang out with him. The idea of willingly punching a hole in himself wasn't a pleasent one but... he supposed he could do it so long as it meant making friends at long last with his brother.

Ligeia watched the exchange of greetings between Ter and his girlfriend? he was pretty sure that was what she was then tilted his head to the side. Her presence was a bit of a surprise as he'd not been told that she was coming along. So she and Ter were teaming up then to get him to become more guyish? He wasn't exactly sure... he gave a flap of his wings then waved at Zyanya, "Ahh... hello" He murmured, a part of him was a little upset. He'd thought that this was a time where he was going to finally be able to hang out with his brother but Zyanya was here too. That rather left him as the third wheel and one that both Ter and the Mantis saw as a wheel that needed fixed.

Well... he supposed if he went along with the plant of getting him a piercing then things would be fine right? He would be able to escape from them after that... maybe, he hoped. So long as a piercing was all that they had in mind after all this place gave tattoos as well and that had him a little on edge. What if they wanted for him to get one of those as well?

Ter wrapped his arms and a bit of his coils around the mantis at her enthusiastic greeting, returning the kiss and gladly, "Been to long." He said, a little jealous that the last time she had been around D-corp she had gone out with his brother instead of him. He looked over at Geia before turning back to Zyanya, "Thanks. Couldn't get him to change any myself." He said, rather in awe that Zyanya was able to get the owl to do anything. She must have some sort of magical powers.

He drew back just a little so that he could get a good look at Zyanya, realized that the orange had caught his attention for a few seconds to long before he gave a flick of his tongue as he looked away, "Look good." He complimented her as he did his best not to return his gaze back to the bright and eye drawing color, "Shall we? Time to go Ligeia."

The way that it was said it was like they were going to the owl's execution but as Ter snapped a hand forward to grab his wrist again it would seem he had no choice in the matter.

Ter looked over at the poor, prisoner of an owl then gave a fanged grin, "Was thinking a nose piercing." He said which made Geia look of course at the one that Ter had. He wasn't exactly sure what he thought about the idea but... he could do this, would do this. He didn't want to chicken out in front of the two of them did he? No. He wanted to get this done so that he could say he did and so that Ter would be a happy snake. Maybe having Zyanya here was a good thing too? That meant that if he went through with it and did well then maybe he would seem less girly in her mind as well?

"N-Nose... Umm... ok. Think I can do that." He said finally.

Ter nodded, "Yeah, maybe a tat as well."

Geia, having no idea if his brother were serious or not looked a little bit faint at the idea of a tattoo. He would no doubt faint the moment they took out the needles that they used to put the things on a person and then how he would look in the eyes of Ter and Zyanya? Like a wimp of the highest caliber, "Ah... umm... ahh...." He couldn't get out anything but studdering this time which seemed to highly amuse the snake boy.

"What do you think Z? A nice tat to go with his new nose piercings?" He asked of her, grinning and showing fangs again. This game was far, far to much fun.

"Ahhh... Umm. The piercing may be all I can do today." He said, after all he wasn't sure how much that would hurt so he might as well not sign up for the whole experiance in one sitting after all he had things that he wanted to do, had a picnic to plan for. He didn't want to be laid up healing for a tattoo...

Ter gave a bit of a grin, this was fun. He supposed hanging out with his brother wasn't that bad given the right situation. So long as he got to tease him a bit then things were good.

"Get one?" He asked, looking at Z then laughed, "Don't know if ink would show up on my skin, maybe the light parts." He lifted a hand to poke one of the areas where the skin was lighter then the other areas, "Would have to ask."

He headed into the store then waved happily at the two men behind the counter that he had been making good friends with since he was in so often.

"In for more piercings Snakeman?" One asked.

"This time here for my brother." He said, tugging Ligeia forward, "Thinking on getting piercings for him. He needs 'em to look tuff."

Geia looked around a moment as if finally realizing where he was, what was happening, "Ahh, ok." He agreed with the girl. She was right it wouldn't be very fair if she got her things done but he backed out. Might as well go and look right? He walked over to the case that held the noserings and found himself pleasently surprised. They were... they were small. They were nothing like the nosering that Cody had. What a relief. The owl boy have a happy sound as he started to feel a lot better about this, he thought he was in for getting a large ring through the nose but they things were actually kinda cute.

"I'll take this one." He said, tapping a finger against the glass over a pretty blue piece. Might as well get something pretty if he was getting this done right?

"Good choice, will look good on you." The second man, the one with the longer hair said, "You go and watch your friend get hers done while I prepare what we will need to do your piercing. Baldric, want me to do his?"

The bigger of the two men looked over at his friend then to the owl boy before nodding, "Yeah, your the less scary of the two of us Hari I am sure he would appreciate that. First though if you will help me out here we will get both her earrings done." He then turned back to Zyanya holding one of the two piercings guns he had set up out to him.

Geia walked over and then leaned over to Ter, "Why like that?" He asked.

"Best to do both at once, less time and..." He made a motion with his hand. Only had to feel the bite once since it was at the same time. He left that out though as he didn't want his brother to attempt fleeing.

Hari gave a bit of a grin, "Naw, not scare you since we know you already now... I can't speak for Baldric he may want to scare your friend." He said looking over at Ligeia and gave a grin as if to show that he were just teasing.

"Alright, just like the last time we will count to three." Baldric said to Zyanya, "And then we will do the piercing of your ears. Ready? One, two, three..." Click! This time they went to three mostly because she would be expecting the same trick as they pulled last time and they were saving that for the newb.

"Now remember to take good care of your piercings, keep the new holes clean while they heal up." Hari said, she had piercings once before yes but he couldn't stress enough how important it was to stay clean so they didn't get at all infected.

Ligeia who had been watching closely tilted his head to the side, that didn't look that bad, he could do that surely and he was only getting one thing pierced instead of two. He relaxed a little bit as he waited for his turn, he could do this easy, "Hrm? Oh! Yeah, we are going to have it in Vorel and my favorite place too." He couldn't wait! It was going to be so much fun.

Geia nodded and sat down on the seat that Z had abandoned, he looked up at the two men taking in their look. They had a lot of piercings though Hari had more the his friend did. Both even had tattoos on their faces, "Didn't it hurt to get tattoos on your faces?" He asked of them, curious.

Hari lifted a hand to run a finger over one of his then gave a nod, "A little but if its something you really want done then you deal with the pain." He assured him then reached over to get the piercing gun that was prepared for piercing the owl boy's nose, "There will be only a small bite of pain when I count to three alright?"

Geia nodded his head as he glanced over to Ter and Zyanya, before closing his eyes a moment, "Ok, ready." He said his ear tufts giving a flutter.

Ter wrapped his coils about the mantis girl as he turned to look at her, "The new piercings look good, tempts me to get another one done." He said, grinning a bit and showing fangs. He was a lover of piercings but as it was he could do them at home too if he wanted. He just had to steal back his piercing equipment from his father.

Geia gave a little jump when the man started the count but closed his hands tightly into fists. He then let out a breath when suddenly there was a 'click' and then some pain. Geia's dark eyes turned watery and he gave a groan. Couldn't cry, couldn't look like a wimp, couldn't do anything... though a little squeaking sound escaped from him. Owwie... He wasn't expecting that, should have been expecting it since well he was getting a hole punched through his nose. It just didn't exactly click did it?

"Owwie." He said, lifting a hand to his nose when Hari and the piercing gun moved a way from him. While he wanted to yell 'Holy Damn that hurts!' he kept that inside. Owwie wasn't manly enough he was sure and cursing wasn't something he wanted to do but... eh.

Ter gave a laugh, clapping his hands, "Nice. Didn't hurt to much for you did it Ligeia?"

The owl gave his brother a look before shaking his head, "No, not to much for me." He muttered. His brother didn't have to look as amused as that...

"Looks good on you." Baldric said, "Ahh... its to bad your his brother instead of a sister I think I would have to hit on you despite being Snakeman's friend."

Hari gave a laugh, "Baldric your a perv."
