Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Hell, sure," said Lance, speaking around a second large sandwich bite. "Why not? I've got nothin' else on my agenda today. Besides, I'm sure we need more than a microwave around here."

"Nah, it's winter break," shrugged Victoria, with a small shake of the head. "What schedule we had went out the window, and will probably stay so until school starts up again." Taking note of the fact that Becca seemed to have no real plans for herself, Victoria nodded again before glancing back at Rouge and Sarah.

Though she was not always the queen of subtleties, she was trying to ask with nothing more than a quick look if it was okay to invite Becca along on their little snowball war. She seemed like a nice girl, and a cool person to hang out with, and they did need a select few members to tag along, but she was not to sure if bringing a newbie into Brotherhood territory was a good idea and wanted their opinions.

"That was Toad's room," nodded Lance somberly, as a hint of confusion passed over his face. "So yeah...I can smell it too. Haven't seen him for a while, but he'll be back before the rain season, I bet." Nodding to himself, Lance slowly ate a bit more of his sandwich as he thought of what else they could use around this place. "We could use some booze, for starters," said Lance after sometime.

Mizu was definitely glad to be back in his old stomping grounds and the happiness was spread over his little powdery blue see-through face in the form of a cattish smirk, and he was definitely glad to be getting some time away from Valerie, although he wouldn’t trade her for the world, she could at times be as Lance would put it in such eloquent words ‘an annoying b***h’!

The little creature had done his recapping of the living room and the stairs and he was now more interested in an adventure in the kitchen area, toddling back into the hallway he noticed Valerie and her bags had mysteriously vanished and the water-being assumed she’d gone to reclaim her room, shrugging his shoulders he walked through into the kitchen and looked around, his clear large eyes falling first on Kara, he blinked in confusion, it was a cat or at least a human but either way it fell as cat in his mind and that meant amusement to the sprite, his orbs then turned to the other person in the room and Mizu folded his tiny arms over his chest with a blank innocent expression covering up the smirk from earlier.

“Lance......its...nice to...see you again!” the sprite muttered skipping up to the brunette teen looking upwards to the much larger figure, his greeting not as glad as it sounded, Lance had a problem with Valerie and that annoyed Mizu who noted that chirpy Val found everyone tolerable, even the ever moody Lance, however Mizu wasn’t blinded by rose tinted glasses! Maybe that permanent chirpiness was why people found her annoying at times! He watched the male with a slight envious look on his face as Lance ate his sandwich, Mizu had never eaten before and the task of eating looked quite fun to him, he stared upto Lance and blinked sweetly "whats....it like?" he asked with a friendlier tone than before knowing he wouldnt get one back in return.

Blade raised up her hands to stop Shandra.
"Perhaps I didn't word that correctly." She shook her head. "I understand human made. But . . . why not? That's what I meant."

Shandra smiled slightly. If it hadn't been her own bodily reactions she would have found the situation funny. She was odd like that though.

"I'll give you a demonstration, that tends to explain it better..." Shandra said as she looked around for something.

With a smile she found a pan and a bunch of papers. She put her arm on the stand and mad a small cut on her skin. She unscrewed the pan and made ink get into the cut.

Shandra put paper over it so the ink had no choice but to get into her skin. After a moment she let the paper fall to the floor. Making sure that there was enough paper under her arm Shandra turned it upside down so the cut was on the bottom side.

She lifted her arm and watched as about three seconds later the ink literally squirted out of her arm. It took like two or three drops of blood with it but that really didn't matter.

Her green eyes skirted to the paper that had been under her arm, finding almost all of the pen's ink on them instead.

Mizu kept his gaze on Lance, but gave the cat-girl a gesture of annoyance with his middle finger, apparently the water imp didn’t care much for being called an ‘it’. After showing his displeasure he crossed his arms and chose to ignore the brunettes insult, he’d heard such words from Valerie most days so he was used to it, plus he was trying to stay on Lance's good side for the time being. “What’s it like to eat?” He said with an innocent tone in his liquid smooth voice.

“Hey Mizu-kun…where did you go?” Came a worried tone from outside the kitchen, Valerie had returned from upstairs and the way she spoke sounded as if she missed the little creature, even though they had only been parted for at least ten minutes. Valerie would have hated to admit it but she felt lost without Mizu, she would have described the feeling as similier to loosing your soul if it was possible, she didn’t enter the kitchen but strolled past oblivious in her blonde way to the fact that she had just walked past her companion. Some days Valerie could tell where he got to but today her sixth Mizu-sense seemed to be off!

Mizu rolled his eyes at Valerie’s apparent stupidity and continued to stare sweetly at Lance waiting for his answer; he wasn’t bothered about being together as much as she was.
