Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Some sort of ship we havn't found out much about it thought" Altair said looking at Tear. "Vincent woke up some marines and there fighting something that..." gunshots rang out then it was quiet again. "guess they found it..." Altair walked down the stairs and found the marines standing around the ork body Altair approched and took his sword out of the ork body as he did he could feel the stares of the men around him. the swords disappeared and his armor retracted. he looked at the men who returned his stare Altair took a at ease stance, feet shoulder length apart hands behind his back.

Altair gave a final look at the marines, he snapped a salute turned and walked back up the stairs "nothing important... just grabbing my sword" Altair said walking back over to vincent (who I hope gets back on soon) "You alright last I saw, you were bleeding to death from what that thing did...guess I'm not the only one who finds trouble huh?" Altair said smirking abit.

Altair did as asked and walked down the stairs "What's up?" he asked leaning against a wall arms crossed, he looked at the man's eyes, the held experiance, eyes that had seen countless battles as well as the aftermath, eyes that had seen life and death, they were rather cold but still held other emotions but they were nearly gone, he was someone that after a victory mearily said enjoy it well it lasts because they'll be another one soon.Next Altair studdied the marines weapons first Reclusiarch's hammer then the marine's swords and guns.

"To anwser your question I'm Altair Lanka...Corporal of the United Nations Protectorict Corps...as to getting off this planet...you better worry about getting out of this forest...it's cursed...people go in and don't come out" Altair simply said. he took a canteen from his belt and took a swig of water from it.

"Well I haven't told anyone else this but I trust you enought that you won't blab it out and since where alone and all...I'm here...because this is a death sentace... a year ago my girlfriend back home sent me a letter...she broke up with me... we had been going out for months and sometimes I swear we would've married...I was so broken after that...I was drunk for days after just a absolute mess I was filled with hate, pain, sorrow...and in a moment of personal hell I killed an officer..." Altair said thought it was a partial mummble, he sunk down and sat, back against the wall as he remebered the rage, the sorrow and the pain"...and instead of facing the judge like a man I ran into this forest with whatever I could carry... been stuck here since..." Altair said his eyes on the floor infront of him he sung part of a song, it was a very sad song not like what Altair usually sung:

She put him out
Like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart
He spent his whole life trying to forget

We watched him drink his pain away
A little bit at a time
But he never could get drunk enough
To get her off his mind
Until the night

He put the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
He finally drank away her memory
Life is short
But this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees

We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that says I love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

Altair could feel tears comming "I swear if I hadn't meet Aiyuko, Baylor and even Tear...I just might have killed myself...just to get rid of the pain...". Altair reached for his canteen then stopped, instead he reached into his coat and into a small pocket inside the coat and pulled out a metal flask, he unscrewed the lid and took a shot of it's contents, a burning sensation at his throat as the liquid slipped down it. he sat there staring blankly at the opposite wall ocassionaly taking a drink from the whisky in the flask.

Teardrop, who had been looking around the hall, poked her head down the stairs. "What are you..." her voice died away, and she wrinkled her nose. "What's that smell?" she asked, looking closely at Altair. Her ear twitched, and she turned her purple gaze on Vincent. "And what's wrong with him?"

((ick. sounds like it hurts... y get hit with paintballs if it hurts so much?))
Teardrop twitched an ear and muttered, "I don't, but you just looked stranger than usual." and walked up the stairs to excape the smell.

((what am I doing?))
