Welcome to Gaia! ::

It all comes back to me as I make my way into Durem, its so quiet around, it's changed. as I make my way to the HQ, my eyes are drawn to places and people who seem new too me, 5 years have passed since I was last here, the last mission Skotti gave me almost claimed my life...

-Flashback-

"So... you finally caught up with me" says a man shouded in shadows, "I suppose it was the Kuro who sent you"

"Yes"

"I take it you feel that I will not be escaping for you too have revealed that information" he tells me as he pours himself out a glass of red wine, "Excellent stuff, would you like some?" I say nothing, "Of course not you wouldn't be drinking on the job" "I don't sup... his sentence is cut short by the quick flick of my wrist, the glass falls from his lifeless hand and red wine falls out over the carpet...

I am quickly brought back to the present by a merchant selling his goods on a nearby market, I carry on walking, getting looks from the humans of Durem, as I come to the entrance to HQ I check no one it watching and enter, I make my way down to the lobby feeling outcast from the world that I once new so well, I push both doors to the lobby open and enter, no one is around so I make my way to Skotti's Office, I knock and hear the familar sound of Skotti's voice telling me to enter, I open the door and walk in, Skotti is sat at his desk looking through some papers, "Enter I said!" he calls, then sees me standing there, I can see in his eyes he is surprised, either he thought I was dead or he didn't hear me come in, I nod, he nod's no paper work is needed when I do a job he knows this, I leave and quietly shut the door behind me.

I make my way up to my room I pass numerous people on the stairs, mostly new faces, a few old, No one seems to rekognise me, I arrive at my floor, I unlock the door and enter, I notice all the dust in the room, but smile, it sure good to be home.

((Someone joined the roleplay late...*Ryn*))


Waffle decided to pick up each of the dirty plates and put them next to the sink.

If Chef Gilles whines about anything, I'll tell him the plates were attracting cockroaches. Ehehehe. That'd be one funny look on his face.

Waffle hears Luciano in the kitchen.

"Hey. If you were wondering, I'm fine today. Just cleaning up the place. The Chef's probably going to throw an epic fit though."

Luciano tried not to laugh so hard, because it hurt to laugh. He sat so that his elbows were on the table and his feet resting comfortably on the floor, "Doesn't he always?" he said jokingly to Waffle "He's getting paid nicely, so I don't know why he should be throwing any type of fits."

"Thanks Waffle, I am eternally grateful, whenever you need a favour just ask ok, and I promise, no shenanigans" Rynharm says thanks again and says hi to Luciano who he has never met either.

Waffle told Rynharm that he's welcome, and then turns to Luciano.

"Don't laugh too hard, buddy. I left my stuff in my room for now, so it's not like I can magically heal anybody," she said with a faint smirk.

"Now the issue is, where's Chef Gilles the Depraved Scaredy Cat? I bet he saw a roach and had a heart attack."

"Hm. Either that, or everybody who stayed at HQ threw the biggest block party ever and we missed out," was Waffle's only reply.

She was clearly not amused.

"I might just head over to my room and get a bowl of oatmeal or something."

"Well, some of us nearly got killed off last night. You'd think the Chef would be nice enough to feed us the next day." Luciano said while he rubbed his shoulder.

Luciano waved goodbye to Waffle and then he hopped behind the counter to fix himself something to eat. He was in the mood for something in a skillet, so he rummaged around to look for what he could work with.
