Welcome to Gaia! ::

"That's exactly what I was going for! Sort of, not really, but it makes the same amount of sense!" the hare said happily with a smile, cheerful that Tsume got what he was saying without actually getting what he was saying. That was friendship, that made Tsume his friend. Oh, wow Tsume was his friend, he'd never really had a friend before. He had to buy Tsume a gift! Oh, wait, Elliot was his friend. "I... trust you. You haven't taste tested me yet." and gave a nervous laugh, still worried Tsume might turn and try it one day. "So yes, i trust you."

Elliot turned before standing up properly. "President Guinevere," he sighed, annoyed.

"Oh don't be mad, I'm wearing clothes this time." and stood out from under the table, having bed sheets wrapped around her frame. She was tall, much taller then Alvaro or Lewis, however for her race it was average height of not a bit short, and her wingspan was even larger. "I am here to change your country once more! Change is always good when in large bountiful quantities!"

"President Guinevere there must be a different, much better time to do this."

"No, it will distract you all. But we'll need to go outside. And where are my lovely servants? I haven't seen either upon my arrival." Her servants were Ipo and Kashi and she did seem a bit pouty and their lack of presence. "and no, Falian, I do not mistake. I have watched over your countries longer then you all have been alive, but it is time for change, and with the heirs and the countries so conflicted, it is best I put in my two cents now before things get messy."

Elliot stared at the woman cautiously. "Prepare your things outside, I shall--"

"I want you all, you two, or three if you'd like to accompany them, Prime Minister. I've something more frightening then dogs." and smiled.

"I'm intelligent?" he questioned as the wolf moved closer, the warm and tanned cheek pressing against his own slightly pale one. The hare felt himself tense. "It's hard to relax right now." he murmured, doing his best, not wanting to breathe to hard for fear it would annoy Tsume, but holding his breath wasn't proving to be a much better option. The vision seemed to change, male finding his body feeled with emotions that weren't his own as he looked at the street that suddenly didn't look like his street at all. It was still very foreign with people who never greeted you but minded their own business. They were all light-skinned and looking at him, he felt cautious but relaxed all at once. This place was so very different from Falia and sort of lonely. But it had it's own charm, the culture was different, styles were different, the jewelry was different. Tsume broke away, brown eye blinking and once again replaced with a familiar scene, one Kashi knew very well. "That really is quite different." he mused softly.

The woman smiled, wings shifting lightly behind her. "I bring very many people little pleasure. Today may even be one!"

"Stop." Elliot said with force, the president smiling a bit wider.

"I've been here for the past day and a half." She said as Lewis left. "But nonetheless. Today is a game of chance! I do love games and you have had such good luck. You and your father, Elliot. Your country is so prosperous. It'll make me sad with the luck runs out."

"Then let us pray today is not that day. And yes, I congratulate you on finally dressing yourself as is per custom of those who live here on this planet instead of above it."

"Oh you know the system of our lands, little prince. I suggest drinking some milk, dear, for the babies. Now, I shall prepare my game of chance outside by the forest as requested. I shall find my servants while I do it. Ta-tah!" and exited rather happily.

"That is the president of Kasp. Guinevere Ophelia Damascus, or God if she's in a bad mood. It has a ring to it, apparently. I think it's awful she can compare herself to the deities." and led Leo back to his seat.

Kashi was looking at his reflection in a large purple hat obviously made for a woman. "I don't know, I don't think it's my style." and giggled, taking it off before debating which one to try next. "Perhaps green is more my color." an grabbed it, looking at the large feathered decoration with a smile before giving a loud cry of pain, flinching away and placing his hand over his bandages. "I'm okay." he murmured, pulling his hand away to find it covered faintly in blood, the bandages having absorbed most of it. "Oh..." it was his turn to look in the direction of the castle. "I need to return." he said sadly.

Kashi glanced up at Tsume, wanting to decline and just wanting to walk, but for his wound to bleed so heavily. "All right." he took off his scarf and pressed it against his eye which as still bleeding at the same rate, but the bandages were now red underneath his bangs and it was rolling down his chin and neck. "Ipo fared better since he's closer." he murmured, waiting for the man to shift before nervously climbing on and clinging. "Sorry for getting blood on your fur, Tsume."

"That she is, but she has aided our country indirectly." he murmured, holding Leo close. "She is Kaspian. Their technology is far more advanced then what we can imagine and they blend magic and science together. They are a dangerous race to war with, so many form an alliance, like we have." he sighed softly. "Let us get you into winter things to go outside, Leo. Just ignore her, she really is friendly if you try." But even she bothered him, one just had to grow used to her.

The blood started to lessen the closer he got to the castle and he was thankful.It was nearly gone now in the quick ride toward here. "Oh, um, around the back." he said nervously, sliding down and walking, removing his scarf and fixing it into his jacket. "Gloves, shoes, clothes." he murmured. "Bandages," they were sickeningly warm with blood but there was little he could do, soon walking around the building before spotting his brother pop out of one of the servant doors. And apparently in the process of re-dressing himself. It was almost funny.

"Kashi!" he yelled. "Kashi lend me your jacket!"

"N-No! I-I'm actually prepared for once! You can't expect me to suffer for your mistakes."

"Brother you need to give me something." he begged, tucking in his shirt and re-doing his belt, shoes loosely on.

"N-No.

"I see everything~" Came the voice from around the corner, soon to be revealed as the winged brunette, president of Kasp. "My servants! Come give mummy a hug!"

The twins seemed hesitant but walked forward, both hugging her, though Ipo did try to shove at Kashi.

"Now now, my servants. Go set up the game of chance while I look at little Kashi's new friend. I thought you were frightened of wolves." And walked up to Tsume curiously, tapping his nose as though he were a domesticated dog. "Oh, I know you. You're the one with no home country aren't you? The one that travels with the Falian prince. Interesting choice, Kashi. Still having those visions, Kashi?"

"Wh-Which ones, President?" he asked, unfolding the table and covering it in the cloth.

"You know the ones."

He looked away. "Nothing has changed, ma'am. But Ipo had a vision recently." and almost smiled, Ipo glaring at him with a deep-rooted hate. "He grew frightened of it."

This caught Guineveres attention. "Oh? And what was that, dear Ipo? my precious little doll?"

The hare looked ready to murder his brother on the spot. "I saw... my death." And the rage grew on his face as Kashi bore a smile very similar to Ipo's. One that was very satisfied at the other's pain.

"How dreadful," she said, grabbing the wolf's chin and turning his head to the side. "Your death? Oh seers have seen so much worse. How terrifying was it?"

"I had to be fetched to calm him down, Miss President."

Elliot looked at Leo before gently grabbing his shoulders. "It won't be to much, I promise. Never has Guinevere brought to our country something that will cause so much stress. Just hold out a bit longer, she leaves after her gifts. You can rest then, dear." he kissed Leo's forehead before pressing a soft one to his lips, smiling. "I know. I understand completely, but we will get through it. Just trust me." Guinevere always changed something large, last time was how they dressed, clothes. The only people Elliot knew with different clothes were the twins. "Twins will be hard to handle at first, but we will find a rhythm and it will be all right in the end, Leo. Nothing could possibly change. The Kaspians only change things for the better." No, they changed things for their own benefit, to pull strings, start wars, stop them. They favored the Nalaenir nation so would not hurt them, at least not yet. he only sighed, opened the door to the back. "After you, Leo."

Guinevere frowned at Tsume, Kashi giving a squeak behind her. "I may have no influence with the nation you are not a native of, but you are in my territory now, puppy." but she smiled. "Indirect is all I need, what do you think I'm doing right now? But you can't meddle in such international affairs that don't directly involve you or your prince, can you?" she stroked his cheek. "You are very pretty for a puppy. Boys, is the chance ready?"

"Yes ma'am." Ipo said the table holding three equally blank but closed boxes. "The game is ready." It really was the luck of the draw.

Guinevere smiled, delivering a very quick slap to Tsume. "Ooh, I like how that felt puppy. Now go to your master like a good boy." and turned to leo and Elliot. "Hello you two! Shame the Prime Minister and the King couldn't join, but that's okay because we have a wolf to take their places as an audience." She looked at Elliot. "Now, you are the first of three countries I am visiting. You know what this means."

"That you enjoy altering our country for your gaming pleasure."

"Correct. Now you know the rules but our new guests don't. These three boxes hold three separate things. Obsolete technology, a technology that only nudges you above the rest, and another that can cause chaos."

"Visiting a third world country, then, if you have an obsolete technology on you?"

"A small island from the south that are not wildlands or Falian lands, but yes. Their leader holds promise. Now, of course. Once you pull out what is in the box you cannot put it back and that technology will be implemented and yours."

"No take-backs, understood. What sort of technology is it?"

"We've medicinal technology, militaristic technology and scientific technology. Though considering the current state of the world." Black eyes landed on Leo. "I might grant you two gifts. You will just have to share with another country."

"You know I don't mind sharing."

"Very well then, the left box is already yours, now choose another technology." Guinevere smiled, holding the hares close to her sides, Ipo neutral and Kashi physically uncomfortable. "Now which shall you choose, little prince? Middle or right?"

Guinevere smiled at Tsume as though she was looking forward to it before looking back at Elliot. "Tick tock goes the clock, Elliot. I have other countries to visit. of course I'll stay a bit longer to catch up with these two and then leave. I'll be out of your hair by tonight."

Elliot looked at Leo, understanding his concern. "She would not give us a box if it were bad for us. That is part of the alliance. If it were something bad that is braeking it and making us subject to a war we are not quite prepared for."

"Oh hardly, Elliot." She laughed. "Your country is the strong with its military. Falia has magic yes but when it comes to armies yours is the strongest. Don't say such terrible things your country is wonderful. Kashi you're wearing gloves." she pointed out.

The black ears lowered before he got onto his hands and knees, the Kaspian sitting on his back and leaning against Ipo who stood behind her.

"That's better. I hate standing."

Elliot moved forward, opening the lids of the boxes and feeling the objects in them without looking in them. One was warm, but the other had no temperature, meaning it was cold. He tilted his head trying to figure out what they were before pulling out his left hand from the middle box and holding some sort of metal device.

Guinevere gave a happy squeal and clapped. "What glorious luck, Elliot! Oh I am so happy for this development! Always the best of luck, you have! And now your military has improved!"

"What is it?" he questioned, removing his empty right hand to hold the strange device. It sort of was L shaped, and it had a barrel. "

"No, no, don't point that at your face. You'll kill yourself." And stood from her chair to the man, holding the device. "Ipo, you're standing, back up a bit." It was Ipo's turn to look horrified, but he did what he was told and took a few paces back.

"If it'll kill me it's for the military."

"just watch, prince. You hold it like so." one hand grabbing the short part, barrel aiming at Ipo. "Think of this as a small cannon in your hand, but so much more deadly." her finger slid over a small trigger of sorts. "Ready, aim,"

Thunder echoed around the area, the triplets stopping what they were doing in the classroom along with the teacher. "What was that?" Annabelle asked.

"That sounded loud." Martha murmured. "Loud and close."

Emily looked out the window worridley. "Thy sky is clear, so why is there thunder?"
