Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Sorry for the late replies. Apparently Firefox hates me tonight.))

"Sounds very useful," Spy replied, smirking. If only he could do something like that. Then he wouldn't have to worry if he was close or far enough to someone to drop his cloak! "You know, I do wonder why your god picked sree mercenaries wissout any special powers to join zhis 'army'..."

Sirius nods and begins swining a bat for practice, waiting for his turn.

"It's not that I'm not open to new experiences." Yuzuki began before she felt Francis' lips being pressed against both her cheeks in a quick motion. She recorded this motion to her memory drive so that it may be used in a later time that she deemed fit. "Ah, I see then. But regarding earlier, I'm just not accustomed to behaving the same way as normal humans."

"Yes, Bunko told me that as well. She finds it to be a very interesting ability to posses." Faya replied with a grin. But at Spy's next question, she couldn't help but ponder over it for a moment herself. "Well, possibly because you bring more realism into this world. Like, we all just can't rely on our powers to get us through these times. Like, what if someone steals them all, then what do we have? So we need crafty yet useful beings that can hold their own even without access to such superhuman phenomena. That's what I think at least."

"But is zhere really such a thing that could steal your powers from you?" Spy questioned. "Beyond a being with the ability to do that itself, of course." It would be very interesting if there was, say, a machine that could block "super powers." Even more interesting if it was something he would be able to get his hands on... Never knew when something like that could come in handy.

He chuckled a little at Al's determination. But once he felt the fingers on his neck, he shrugged up his shoulders in defence against the feeling. His face screwed up a little and he began to try and stifle his laughter. But he let it out in a burst of air that caused the wayward curl, Quebec, to sway and bounce as he was soon tossing his head slightly from side to side, trying to wriggle out.

He had gotten a chuckle at first, but it wasn't the right kind of chuckle. It was a chuckle at him. But he wasn't deterred in the least. And when he got that tickle laughter and his grin widened as he looked to his brother, "I found it..." and he zeroed in on that spot, tickling him gently but surely as he worked at making his brother laugh, not letting him wriggle out of this one. After all, he had been squirming too. He laughed along with him, the laughter being infectious.

Hungary hadn't been paying much attention to the things around her, though she had been watching the two countries. A smile had stretched across her face. She knew what that felt like. She remembered- when she had lived with Austria it was very much the same thing. But one thing always made her smile a little more, and that was imagining how their people would react if they ever found out that their countries were gay for each other. Like South Italy and Spain, or Sweden and Finland. She had the videos to prove their relationships of course, but they were back home and at the moment- she was just praying that Austria didn't find them. Or worse, Prussia. She heard Oomizu, smiling to her, "Oh, it's okay. And they are." She saw the clouds and then looked to Oomizu and smiled, "Alright, I'll talk to you later."

Belarus smiled softly up at him, letting him pull her closer. She looked to his arm that was holding her close. She was glad he was on their side. He was so strong. Of course, she was strong too- but still. Her eyes lingered on his arms just a tad bit longer before she looked up into his eyes, "Your arms are almost as wide as my body." She commented on the muscles they had.

Germany stepped through the portal that had appeared for him, his body tall, straight, and militaristically alert as he stepped onto the ground. He had appeared just near the baseball field. He glanced out of the corner of his eyes. He saw Francis. He moved his gaze. He saw Matthew and Alfred- they seemed... close. Eliza was here too. But he needed to speak with someone in charge. Like the man who brought him here. He had important matters to discuss before he spoke to his fellow nations. He turned, walking towards where the center of the base seemed to be.

She smiled at him, "I like... being strong..." She looked away for a moment before returning her gaze, "but I... also like being protected." It was a hard line for people sometimes to respect. She wanted to be able to fight, but she also wanted someone to help her when she wasn't strong enough.
