Welcome to Gaia! ::

In a sudden chilling sensation the glass of most things in the lobby, as well as other reflective surfaces began to frost as the stomps of a female's shoes stormed up the stairs, cold air blowing past any daring to oppose her path, her reflection showing for a breif second in a mirror (( )) before she dissappeared, the frost starting to dissapate, a man's voice shouting from the bar

"Abigaile!" Hurried footsteps chasing after her to the stairs daring to go no further "Abigail, come back here!" He shouted after her pounding his fist on the rail of the stairs, his shape slowly becoming visible, going from transparent to being some what solid, well as solid as a ghost goes, (( ))

His sigh echoed for a second before he cursed under his breath and polished his monocle on his kercheif, placing it back over his left eye

[ OUTCASTIC!! -pounce, lick, glomp- ]

If you thought that I lacked patience before, imagine how little that changed for the better. - Mimi hissed into the phone, orbs still studying those boots in her hands. What, by Basts's creation, would anyone want to wear such things? They looked.. rather... uncomfortable.

Then again, it was leather. Even Mimi had to admit that felt good against one's flesh. Bah, stupid Pride, look how they corrupted the girl! In fact, she'd been about to deliver another threat and fight back the urge to try on said boots when a cold wind caressed her bare shoulderblades causing her to stiffen. Even the soft fur on her ears stood on end. The temperature change, it could only mean--

Just as she suspected, it was ghostly activity. Accompanying the change in temperature were voices and as Mimi spun on her heel to catch a better view, the ghosts vanished. - Just get here in less than an hour and I won't kill cause property damage.

-That said she slammed down the phone and left the boots on the counter, her pupils shifting from one size to the ther. Instantly those orbs seemed to glow a soft, electric purple and feline nature kicked into gear.

She couldn't help it. Mimi was, after all, a cat... and she hadn't stalked anything since the war had ended. Low on her haunches the girl headed toward the staircase, in her vision, the images of the newest spirits to make themselves known as visible as if they were human, except for the faint milkyness of their color.

While Hakan changed and the pizza arrived, she might as well entertain herself somehow, right? Now-- what was all that about?-

"Whoa! Cool!"

Cherry's voice echoed brightly through the lobby, carrying her excitement with it. For, at the moment, the little redhead was peering at the hardwood desk...only to find that her own face was nearly reflected in it.

"Maybe I cleaned too much....?" she murmured musingly, blinking a few times at her reflection. This was probably true, so with a bit of reluctance, she set her feather duster down, turned around....

...and ran right into her mop. "Ouchies! Bad mop!" The cleaning utensil was sent flying across the room by a psychic blast, where it landed. Oddly, it looked almost dejected--at least in Cherry's eyes. This prompted a string of irrational apologies: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Mop! I didn't mean to hurt you and...and...and you're a mop. Maybe I should go to bed..."

That, however, was rather unlikely. Once she had retrieved her mop and sent it and its companions back to the supply closet, she still felt remarkably energized. So, with little options--save going out--left, Cherry went skipping off to her room to change. That was always fun, right?

She emerged moments later, having replaced her coat, shorts, and tank top with a bubble-gum pink, sleeveless dress emblazoned with the design of two cherries. Of course, the pink sneakers and white socks remained. They'd proven comfortable after all.

Now, she really had no options... Any further cleaning would be a bit obsessive. Thus, she opted to play an old favorite game: slide down the banister!

The lobby was filled with cheerful giggling as she ran up and down the stairs, incessantly repeating the cycle.

(( because Outie had to leave ))

-Now, just as things were getting interesting, a pink and white blurr scared the ghosties into nothingness. It took Mimi a few moments to get her normal vision back before taking another look at what the blurr was.

Ah, the color alone should've told her who.- Actually, that kinda looks like fun.

-Mumbled Mimi, running up the last few flight of stairs before plastering her rump on the banister and giving it a good old-fashioned polishing that way. It had been almost a year since she'd done that, and boy did it feel nice just to be a kid again.- WEEeeEEeeEE!!!

Cherry gasped. Now, this was surprising! First Mimi comes sliding down the banister, and then Hakan comes...well, tumbling down.

"Careful, careful! Oh my gosh!" she chirped, immediately frantic. "Don't you dare spill a single drop of blood on my floor!"

After a moment, the worried teenager added, "Oh, and I can heal you if you're hurt. Don't do that again, ok?" In fact, it'd probably be a good thing for Cherry to do some healing. Taking on some damage would relieve her of a bit of energy, after all, and frankly, a sixteen-year-old, overly cheerful fireball of energy was probably not a good thing around the Hyde. Then again, damaged or not, Cherry was still overly energetic.

"Heal, heal!" she chimed, anyways. She clasped her hands in front of her, gathering the internal energy. A bright pink light enveloped the fallen demon's form. Cherry shrieked once, and then, the light faded.

Rubbing at her arm, the girl let off a little giggle. "Hey, that hurt! Definitely don't do that again. I'm not healing next time! Ouchies..."

It was a good thing Cherry healed him, or else he would have been in a massive ammount of pain. Needless to say, as he was about to compliment Cherry on her annoying personality, on top of him landed Mimi!

Due to the awkward movements of Hakan squirming shortly afterwards, the wounds on his neck were forced to re-open, despite Cherry's attempts to heal him. But, at least his forehead was no longer gushing out blood!

Alas, it was such an awkward position wasn't it? He and Kyaroru laying there on the floor, holding onto eachother as they usually might. But, there was one huge, big, major different between it all. Well, actually two.. He was not the usual 'Akahakan' there for he was lacking the ability to act smoothely. Secondly, there was the fact Cherry was sitting there beside them.

"Eh heh, heh.." Oh, what now!? Suddenly, he was over come by silence as he lay there under her. Also, suddenly, his face was burning a bright red, while h reached around to the back of his head to rub it. Ahh, Hakan never acted so embarrased before! He had gone byond the point of not being able to speak, he was basically paralyzed. It wasn't every day, after all, that he went around with other people glomping him, much less a girl, much less kissing him on the cheek, MUCH LESS TELLING HIM MUCH SHE MISSED HIM!

..What a doofus.

][No biggie. xD -slaps his hands because his posts are sucking-][

-Mimi blinked a few times, sitting up right although not removing herself from where she was atop of him. It was yet another one of those akward positions that they'd been caught in before by several spirits and pretty much the foundation of such rumors that abounded the young couple. Things were much worse now, of course. For one, they were older, two Mimi was dressed a little more provocatively adn three... well, it seemed like she was rather enjoying it all.

Well, she was to some degree, but not in a perverted way even though it seemed like it. Really, Mimi was just overjoyed at seeing Hakan, even if it hadn't been the same one she'd fallen in love with. At least the boy pinned beneath her was more like the boy she knew and cared so much about. He was that same boy that would only reveal himself to her during the good times and was more like their dirty little secret or something.

Kusanagi Mimi didn't give a hoot. It was him, even if a part of him, but this one was a part of him that remembered her with mutual fondness. That boy whose face burned with embarassment had been the only one of the three personalities that had shown anything but either cordial affection or lack of knowledge. It was something.. they were so close.. so freaking close.

The girl blinked yet again, face tilting toward the left, the smile still present. Behind her, that white and grey tail of hers swished about, evidence of how happy she was. Now that she thought about it, she hadn't seen Hakan so flustered since the night he'd swooped up behind her and called her his beloved. And even then, it had only been a glimpse of what now lay before her. Little did she know what a big influence Akatsuki had been in the young man of yesteryear but at the moment, she didn't want to dwell on such things. - Hakan, meet Cherry, Cherry, Hakan.

Cherry finished off her blended mush. Her hunger was fulfilled, but she was still just about ready to bounce off the walls--moreso, actually. She called the mop to her hands without looking up.

Now, there was the matter off Mimi and Hakan... She didn't want to intrude. It was with great, forced silence that she crept toward the kitchen door. She opened the door a crack, peeping out warily. Oddly enough, what should she hear? Her own name!

Of course, she figured that made it ok to venture back into the lobby. For the second--or was it third?--time that day, she pranced in followed by cleaning utensils.

Before responding to Mimi's introduction, Cherry couldn't help but giggle. She tittered gleefully into her left hand. Attempts to control her laughter proved futile, especially after all that sugar. They were just so cute! But, she was used to scenes like this; she'd gone to a boarding school, after all. Cherry could personally list all seventeen ways to sneak out of one's dorm at night, although, her personal reasons for sneaking out had been much different....

After a few moments of bubbly giggling, she managed to choke out a soft "Hi." Finally, the laughter died down, and the greeting developed into a much more cheerful, "Hi! I'm Cherry! Great to meet you! Yup, yup!"
