Welcome to Gaia! ::

((*eye twitch* Grrr... my sister is listening to Ke$ha... SHE IS ON MY KILL LIST ALONG WITH JUSTIN BEIBER, LADY GAGA, AND THE GUYS IN THE FRAY. Lame. Crappy. Music. *smacks head agianst a wall, listens to my playlist* There. I can shut it out. stare ))

There was something that felt... off. What is wrong with June? She usually recovers by now... and Duri... Something was up. Aleta was in touch with her surroundings and the people near her. Duriono was acting strangely, distracted. Rafeal sensed it to.

((just because I can....))


Alice began humming happily
Oh! If she wakes up, be sure to wish little Juney a happy belated birthday!

As a Drow, Aleta felt at home and secure in the night. Her senses were hightened, she could feel the energy of the group... there was something negative with them that she could not place... She heard something with her keen hearing, and her eyes picked up a shape in the darkness, briefly. It was a figure running. "Hm?" Whats that?

Rafeal noticed she was watching something, "What is it?"

"Oh, nothing. Probably nothing anyway, right?" She looked into his eyes, searching for any sign he might know something. He usually did. "I saw something to. Don't worry, its nothing bad from what I can tell. Eh, its just someone going out for some fresh air or something." He shrugged.

Aleta changed the subject, "So is this where we're going to stay for the night?"

Duri shrugged.
"I guess, this is a good a place as any." he answered, sitting down against the wall, and laying June down beside him.
Suri scratched her forehead, "Alright, I'll just get you kids some pillows and blankets I guess, bathroom's upstairs and just ask me for anything else... Then I'll just go check on the kid and go to sleep myself.." And with that, she walkked upstairs after flicking a switch that caused a soft ringing noise to come from the door, it stopped after awhile. By the time she came back and set down several sheets and pillows by the staircase.

Suri nodded, and led the elves to a small bed, that fell out from the wall. "Don't expect to stay here long, okay? I've got customers and I can't feed all of you." She explained as she went upstairs and turned off the lights.
Late into the night, Key began to stir from his spot on the floor; he drowsily got up, running a hand through his naturally ruffled hair. I'm not that tired... I'll go explore I guess.. He stood up, crept up the stairs and out the door. He looked around at his surroundings, and sat down on a bench. He looked around slowly. And took a good long look at the ground, there were light, but noticeable footsteps in the dirt, they led from the house to the old building. "That's strange..." He pulled out his gun and slowly walked to the school.
He slowly opened the door, and took a quick look around. It was a small open building that had everything removed from it, leaving behind a thin entryway, which opened up into a room with several pillars. As he entered, Key stepped on a candy bar wrapper.
"Hmm?" He picked it up slowly, keeping an eye staring at the main room. "Huh..." He then slowly moved out into the room.
"Why are you here..." A voice suddenly asked. "Why can't you people just leave me alone?" Key suddenly turned around, Kagura stood there with her sword just, in front of his nose.
"Kagura." He mumbled, surprised and scared, He raised his hands dropping the gun and kicked it to her feet. “I’m not here to fight you, I’m not here to persuade you, and I’m just here to look around.” He pleaded, slowly backing away.
Kagura lowered her sword, running at Key and jump off of Key’s head, landing behind him and before he could turn around vanished. “You’ll just tell the others won’t you!” She called out at him.
Key thought about leaving, that’ll just make her angry… and with that he ventured forth. Jumping when he spotted Kagura sitting around the corner, sobbing lightly. “Kagura?” He sat down next to her, Key wasn’t afraid of Kagura, but then again.. Nobody is.
“Why does everything have to get in the way? You have your job and I have mine!” She said between sobs.
“Kagura… I’m not gonna tell the others.. You can trust me.” Key leaned forward, looking at her rather than the bleak wall in front of him.
“How can I trust you!? They’ll notice you’ve been gone and then scare you into telling them!” She snapped at him, suddenly looking at him with a glare. This usually caused Key to flinch, but however this time he didn’t move. Key simply slid a little closer to her.
“Listen Kagura, you can trust me okay?” He lifted her head to face him when she turned away. She was weeping more, and wipped the tears from her eyes.
Key thought again this time, about the best course of action. This was a skill he shared with Duri, however Duri's was more suited for the heat of combat, while Key's was for commanding, and tactical stuff.
"You probably hate me don't you!" Kagura shouted at him, but not loud enough that anyone in another building, or outside could hear. Immediately saying that, Key hugged her tightly.
"I don't hate you Kagura.. I'm not even afraid of you.. You're my friend, right? I'd never do anything that would hurt you. Okay?"
"And your saying that bringing me back is good for me!?" Kagura pulled away.
"I think that'd be good for us.. It could be good for you if you want it to.. But I can tell you don't want to.. But I think with the right method, you'll wanna come back!" He smiled, leaning away. Kagura just froze there for a moment. Taking it all in, she didn't quite agree with half of what Key had just said, but stil she thought is was nice of him. And in response, she gave him a quick kiss.
"Bulwhuh say nuhgh?" Key was instantly intoxicated, he was blushing intsensly and fell backwards. Knocked out. Kagura stopped her crying and giggled gently, lifting Key up and brought him back outside to the bench, then wiped away the footprints, and retreated to the school.

The next Day Duriono drowsilly got up, it was pretty early in the morning. He looked over to June, and shook her gently.
Alright... how far away fo I have to be?

Duri grumbled, his eyes showwed that he was half awake. If he had been anywhere else, he would've tried to sleep til noon. But however, he didn't do that often incase somebody had needed him. "Yo Key, get me an uhh... I dunno, just do that one thing you do you otaku..." he was speaking to a wall, and took him afew moments to notice this.
"Where the hell's Key!?" One could almost see an exclamation mark popping out of Duri's head like Solid Snake. He then went up the stairs, thinking he was somewhere up there. By that time he was completely awake, he found Surina sleeping on the counter, a hammer in her hand and an extremely long sword laid across it, there was still water in the sink that showwed she used it to cool the blade. "Meh..." He shrugged and then looked out the window, there he was. The machine crazed otaku dark elf. Its a long title, but it was one suited of Key, nobody ever used his real name, but then again he never told anyone it after he got the nickname. Kinda like Tails from them Sonic the hedgehog games.
"How the hell'd he get out there.."

((...I wish I had chest hair...))

Duriono walked out the door, and approached the bench. He shook Key, and he eventually began to move. Sitting upright and looked to the left of him as if somebody was there.
"I had a nice dream...." He mumbled, and stood up.
"Where'd you go last night?" Duri asked, straight to the point, he felt as if somebody else was watching him. Do to this he looked around quickly.
"I just went exploring, I got tired and fell asleep on the bench." Key lied, it wasn't the perfect lie, due to it still left some thoughts in Duri's mind. But it would do for now. So they stood up and returned to the workshop, Suri was gone. Probably talking to the other guest. Eventually she stepped out of a room, a locking sound was heard from the inside.
"Alright kids, get your breakfast and get out!" She shouted, so that everyone would hear.

Surina was setting the table, it wasn't much, due to there being eleven extra people in her house, but it was enough for a good meal. She had set out mostly waffles, pancakes, and bacon on the table. Two plates were set aside, one for herself and another for the other guest.
Duri took his seat, and stared down the hall strangly.
"Hey, Miss Surina, isn't your other guest coming to eat?" He asked,
"Actually yeah but there's not enough seats here. She's kinda shy so she perfer's to be alone for now okay?"
