Welcome to Gaia! ::

Arms crossed over his chest, he was still scanning the crowd, watching as more hunters filtered in. Some faces were somewhat familiar, an some completely new. Seemed there had been a lot of awakened hunters lately. So was this what Caelius meant when he said they were easily replaced?

His gaze fell on two very familiar hunters seemingly texting each other (he assumed) while a short distance apart. What was even...
His gaze lingered on Stormy, a pang of guilt hitting him as he remembered the frustration and anger in her voice. He was glad to see she had fully recovered, but...

A voice startled him, and he lost his footing, nearly toppling over as he ended up putting pressure on his injured foot. That voice was also much too familiar.

"I-" The words died on his lips as he turned to see Sherry in...
Wow.
He flustered slightly, turning his head away while he crossed his arms over his chest again self-consciously. Next to her, he felt extremely underdressed (or was it overdressed?). It made him somewhat regret not owning a single dress shirt. Or maybe a pair of slacks.

"I-I'm fine.

A pause.

"...You look nice."

Rep was, for want of a better word, stricken. When he found himself at a crossroads of emotion when he couldn't be sure how he felt one way or the other he simply stopped. And in that moment he found himself torn between standing up for the impossible wedding he dreamed of, with beautiful horses, grand outfits and a cake with so many layers you could never see the top and the earnest and deep desire to be committed fully and entirely to the guys as soon as possible, before it slipped out of their fingers.

He worried being allright with the lesser would somehow cheapen his emotions, as if disagreeing was expected. But at the same time getting it over with would be a weight off his shoulders he couldn't describe. Over and over he considered his options and found no resolution, trapped in a spiral of indecision and self loathing like a snake eating its own tail.

What kind of chocolate cake, he wanted to say, how will it look, what will people think?

Tracey snapped icily him.>

Blue hadn't given a ********, he had everything he wanted, the ability to have the perfect wedding and that hadn't been the most important thing to him at all. He wouldn't have given a ******** if they got married in the warehouse, as long as it was all of them. He was as good as Blue was, he didn't need things, he just needed them.

"None at all."

Wondering to what the mission was going to be about, Tori could almost think that they were all going to be heading for a party from how everyone was dressed in some form of formal wear. Well she hoped they weren't as that would just bring back some awkward memories Tori would rather keep on forgetting.

Tori didn't think that she was too formal as she had once worn thing much more formal that what she had on now. While looking around she spotted a hunter in a very nice formal wear and he was waving to he and smiling too. Aklin nudged at his hunter to go up to the man that was waving as she need to make more friends.

Alright she got the hint as Tori smiled and waved back at the man in the purple tie. Fiddling with her torc that was around her neck as she walked up to said hunter trying not to be too nervous. "Hi, I'm Victoria Straka, but I go by Tori for short," she said somewhat nervous as she gave him a little curtsy and smile.

Not seeing when Bix showed up and she was just about to say something to him when he made the comment that she looked hot and she blushed really red. "Ummm, thank you Bix," Tori stammered not really knowing what else to say as he robbed the words right out of her.

Harrison took Rep and Jordan's hand. He looked at each of them in turn.

"I would give you guys everything you deserve." In another place he thought he could have. But all the money in the world hadn't been able to buy him time. There'd been nothing that him had regretted more.

"But, most of all I just want to be together. We been engaged for six months. So. I'm gonna make a commitment to you guys. I want it to be soon. It's gonna be soon, okay?"

Matt was a little surprised the female hunter he had waved to actually walked up to him. He wondered if there was some sort of bug on his head or maybe his fly was down. That had happened one time, when he was out on a date in highschool, needless to say she never called him back. Not that he could really blame her, he wouldn't have called himself either. Kasi on the other laughed rather bitterly in his head.

"Well it is most certainly a pleasure to meet you Tori, I'm Matthias Duffy," He replied leaving the fact that his middle name was Jane out of the conversation. "You can just call me Matt for short if you like." He gave her rather a poor attempt at a bow in response to her curtsy, as he smiled rather cheerfully hoping to cover it up.

Bix on the other hand made him snort as he tried to avoid laughing rather loudly for everyone to hear. The current display of dancing skills were about as good as his own, but at least put him a little at ease from being there.

"Hey, I love your dancing skills man," Matt replied as he tried to give a little dance himself, but then quickly ended it as his face started to feel a little heat on his cheeks. Not to mention he had beaten him to the punch of telling Tori how lovely she looked in her dress.

NOT that he knew her as well as apparently Bix which made him realize he really needed to stop sitting in his room a lot.

"What Bix said, you do look rather lovely in the the dress not." He replied realizing that this was the first time meeting her and he hadn't seen her in regular clothes.

If he tried to think about what to say, he'd never reply.

He just nodded.

He smiled a little.



That wasn't quite where he had intended to go during this conversation.



He'd pulled a Stormy. Gale cursed the tiny screen with its tiny buttons that were right next to each other and wrote out another message. He debated a long time before actually sending it, hesitating as he absently fiddled with his tiepin.

<< Might as well. You never know what might happen. It could be a good thing. >>

Or a very bad thing.

<< If she says no, what have you lost? It won't upset you because you know why she would say no. >>

...it wouldn't upset me if she said no, Gale thought, and this was true, so he hit send after all.

That had been surprisingly easy to answer. Stormy took her time reading the last few messages, however, growing nervous again. In person after getting comfortable with distance was hard to adjust to...But as long as it wasn't the talk she had promised--As long as it was casual, she could handle it. Whatever it was going on, they were still friends. And Gale was a friend who...liked the sound of her voice...
