Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yeah ******** threw his hand over Romero's mouth, "Just listen to her, ok?"
Romero took Luciano's hand off of his mouth, grunted then left for the backyard/garden area, with Sophie following close behind him.
"Who do I gotta ******** do get a beer up in this b***h? Huh?" said Sophie as she headed to the backyard/garden area with Romero.
"Ugh. . . PLEASE don't leave your butts all over!" Luciano called after them then he walked over to Pen, softly waved then gently tore short little Mila off of her, "Sorry about her," he said "she's quite affectionate."
"That can't be a bad thing!" Mila said then she gave Luciano a hug, "I love you, Cous."
Luciano laughed then hugged back, "You're never THIS affectionate, though." he looked down at her, and then she looked up at him. Luciano noticed something about Mila's eyes. ". . They look. . ." he began to think then suddenly he gently pushed Mila into Pen, "I'll be right back!!!" he said as he ran to the backyard.
"SOPHIA! ROMERO! OVER HERE NOW!!!!" He yelled, he was very angry with them now. He knew WHY they were really here.
Sophie walked up to Luciano, waved, then she took a puff of her cigarette, "Hey. Before you start in, I had nothing to do with it." she said and then took another puff.
Romero walked up a few minutes later, his goggles now over his eyes, and his head slightly lowered. "'Sup?" he said in a lower tone than usual.
"Who the ******** got Mila high?!" He yelled, "She's too ******** small to be doing that s**t! She'll be ******** sixteen next month- how the ******** is she going to get her first ******** job when she's ******** high?!"
Both Sophie and Romero shrugged, then Sophie pointed to Romero, "He did it."

Pen now holding the young elf in place looked down at this charge. What caused that...

She turned around the hyperactive elf and studied her face. something was amiss about her smiling face but what? Then Pen's face turn to a frown.

"Oh dear," she muttered realizing the outburst. "We need to calm you down, Mila. Follow me I think I know how I can help." Taking the young elf into the kitchen the under dress Pen began to cook up a tonic that should help this young friend.

As Mila bounced around in her seat, Pen began her work on the tonic. Her back hid what she was doing but the young elf from her seat saw at least an egg being placed in the glass.

Pen expertise in this came from being a bar waitress a year before leaving it for missions and the clean living. She had to make this before for drunks but found it still useful for druggies.

Placing the glass on the table in front of Mila, Pen gave a comforting smile to trick into the drinking. 'This is my special breakfast in a glass. Its delicious trust me." Pen lied through her teeth. That mixture is so strong it can take the drunkest monkey and thrown him onto the wagon.

(I need to get off but I will be back as soon as I can. Hopefully I won't be terribly long)

Mila took big gulps of the tonic Pen made, she had 'the munchies' very badly and was willing to eat anything at this point. After she finished the glass, she put it on the table then burped. He slouched then she looked up at Pen, "I love you so much, Duuuuuuuder." she said.

Juliano nodded, "Yeah. I'm in a couple bands, one is: the school band, and the other is: a small garage band called 'Inhumane Interrogation Methods'. I'm not looking to be famous. I just like to play." he said softly, a bit scared that his idol may look down his nose at him for not wanting fame of any sort.

Luciano came in with Sophie, purposefully leaving the stoned Romero outside to sleep in the bushes, the both of them went into the kitchen, "Heya, Pen. How's our patient doing?" he asked as he patted Mila on the head.

((Introducing Waffle's parents and the crew of attendants. Let some more havoc begin!))

Inside of Serole's castle, a fairly large group of people were standing in front of a machine, the one that Koteki set up the night before. It was ready, waiting for when the other portal was active. Waffle's parents were there, of course, and the rest were attendants that would come along as well. The attendants were discussing the order that they would head in.

"Hey guys, let me be last! I called it!"
"You just want to fly through the thing and pounce your boyfriend, huh?"
"Diane, first, I don't think Totoro is any bit like that...Second, Sabe isn't like that either."
"SPAM, SPAM, SPAM! GREEN EGGS AND HAM!"
".......guys?"

The whole group turned to Lucy, the youngest attendant of the group. She didn't speak much, but when she did speak, everyone listened to her with seriousness.

"How about we leave in this order: Rosie, Charlie, me, Diane, and then Totoro?"
"Why do I have to be second to last?"
"Then switch places with Lucy, or even me. Do you need to be such a hag all the time?"

Another oddity of the group was Charlie, the butler. He would shout things randomly at irregular intervals, but when he quieted down at the drop of a hat, it was just as serious as when Lucy would speak.

"Fine. Diane muttered. "YOU are going to be second to last then." she said, pointing to Charlie.

The portal they all were standing in front of suddenly flickered to an activated state. Sabe must have flipped the switch. Colbur turned around to his attendants and motioned for them to clear out a pathway. Everyone did exactly that, and Koteki nodded to Colbur.

"Alright, here goes nothing." he said with his trademark crooked smile. He walked into the gaping portal that the machine maintained as everyone else looked onward in mild awe, minus Colbur and Diane.

Meanwhile, Sabe and Waffle were growing more anxious by the minute. Suddenly, the machine in the room glowed bright for a second, and they saw Koteki emerge from the portal. Waffle squealed and immediately ran up to her father and hugged him.

"It's so good to see you again! I missed you for so long!"
"I know! I know I'm not the only one who does miss you though." Koteki responded, turning to the portal.

The portal flashed brightly a second time, this time Colbur had emerged. Waffle hugged him as well, but her mood died down a bit when she saw that he didn't look the same as he used to. Now that both of her parents were through the portal, the attendants headed through one by one, in the order that Lucy suggested. Rosie smiled when she saw Sabe and Waffle, then got out of the way as Diane came through. Waffle looked at Diane in a confused manner, having never met her before. However, Diane didn't notice because she was already preoccupied with giving Sabe dirty looks, which he returned when Colbur didn't see him. Both of them calmed down when Lucy and Charlie emerged next, seeing that fighting was not the best option.

Everyone except Waffle and Sabe backed up, leaving the two seriously confused.

"...Why did everyone just start backing up from the portal?"

The portal glowed a final time, and Totoro flew through the portal and tackled Sabe. Everyone started laughing, even Diane. Totoro had a large grin on his face when he figured his 'plan' worked.

"HIIIIIIIIII!" he said loudly while helping Sabe back to his feet, then hugging him. Sabe pulled away from him, dusted off his jacket, and spoke to everyone in the room.

"Well....nice to see you all here, isn't it?"

"Yeah. Seriously, thanks for finally visiting me!" Waffle added.
"Oh, it's no problem dear." Colbur said while hugging Waffle back. He was glad to see his daughter after 4 years of separation.

"So anyways....I heard from your father that you were living with friends?" he asked.

"Yeah. Not exactly friends per say, but more like co-workers, and awesome ones at that. I think one of them has their relatives visiting too. Anyways, we're all in my bedroom, so let's head out of here." Waffle replied. As she headed out, everyone else followed suit. The group walked into the main room.

Waffle scanned the room for any of her friends, with no success.

"Hm. None of them are out here. Let's wait until they head into this room." she said, crossing her arms.

Sabe sat down on the couch, and so did the rest of the group. Waffle ended sitting down on Sabe's lap, much to Koteki's disdain. There was quite a bit of chatter that could easily be heard from another room.


((I posted the information about the attendants in the Allies thread the day before, if anyone bothered to check.))

"Fame.... fame is a funny word is'nt it, I am famous... but not for the reasons I want to be. I am famous for robbing banks with musical instruments and killing men from several hundreds of yards away, but I am not famous for the one thing I always aspired to be" Skotti said as he looked at the Heartbreaker guitar, hanging on the wall. "I was like you once, high school, marching band, a band of my own. All I wanted to do was play Rock n Roll in front of people..." skotti trailed off "b..but you know, bills to be paid, and I was forced to put my dreams on hold." said skotti looking at the youth.

Twilight spun around and smiled, giving the Peace sign. "Hola Waffle. ^_^" he said cheerfuly. "did ya miss me?"
