Welcome to Gaia! ::

As I heard Crista, I looked up. "No." I got up and shut the door, bracing it with an extra chair. "What do I do now Father?"

[[sorry, I should've made that more clear... I went into a room with 'father' and then braced the door to keep you out.]]

After the glowing orb went into me, I could feel a sudden warmth all over me, like when you're sitting by a cozy fire on a rainy day. This plesant feeling was only momentary, however, and the orb then floated away. But I could see as Hensen walked away, there was one would that even the glowing orb couldn't fix for Crista. She had given up; there was no way he was coming back out if he couldn't break free from himself. He made his choice.

I grab the items and cross off of the floor, and follow the other two as we headed out of the cave and into the morning sunlight. Everything seemed normal up here.

As Father left, I went into my deep pockets, I pulled out a small bible I stole from one of the girls. As I began to read, God didn't seem evil anymore. He didn't seem like anything Father had ever said about him...
"Where is this god? and what has he ever done for me?" I said, glaring. I tossed the book, but ran over to pick it up quickly before it was dirtied.

I looked from Crista, to Grace, to Aaflac, back to Crista. I scooped up the confused duck in my arms and began to fly after Crista.
"Wait here," I told Grace.
"You do realize," I said, "that we're sitting on top of an apartment building. And that there's bound to be an empty apartment. Right?"

I gazed after Crista in confusion.
"Quack," Aaflac said.
"Oh, hush," I said, petting the duck. "She'll be back. She's... thinking." She didn't need food. She got pizza and didn't have any, hardly... well, then again, maybe she did. I turned around and made my way back to the rooftop.
"Crista will be back soon," I informed Grace. "In the meantime, I'm gonna do a good, ol' fashioned breaking and entering and grab a shower."

I set Aaflac down. He ruffled his wings and took off. I knew he was a good duck; he'd be back. He just had to go duck off and do his ducky things and he'd duck back. I smiled at his awkward flight.
"Well, technically," I said, turning my attention to Grace, "we will be staying here." I tapped my foot on the roof to emphasize my next point. "This here is an apartment building. No apartment building is ever full to capacity. I guarantee you if we look in the windows, we'll find several empty apartments. And that's just on the edges." I smirked.

((Correction; it was Crista's Bible. She got it out of her packback; Grace only had it because Crista went looking for you and Grace knew which page the excrosim thing was on. xd ))

Grace sighed; there was no aruging with them, was there? "Well, I dunno how the heck you plan to bathe without soap or shampoo. And still; if there was water sounds coming from a unused apartment room, I'd be skeptical and get someone to check on it. Chances are I doubt you'd want someone to walk in on you all bare skinned and winged." she pointed out.
