Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shinzo nodded, stepping in and taking his given placement.

" Raven, is it? It has a nice ring. You can refer to me as either Shinzo or Sparrow. Either works. I don't mind which preference you have. "

With that, the gondola was secured and they took off a bit in height, elevating into the sky.

" I'm new to introducing myself around. I'm kinda anti-social of a persona, atleast at this prison. What about your end? What thought carries you to this ride besides atmosphere? "

Shinzo thought her statement over. It was bold and straight-forward yet sensible. After all, not everyone was very kind here.

" Information, huh? Exactly what do you keep an ear out for? This place is usually the same day in and day out. Prisoners die and more prisoners come in. "

She might know something important that could tie with himself. Besides getting friendly with her, learning what is going on inside the prison, if relative, was very important.

"Heh...I collect information on deadmen..." Raven said smirking a little. "Things that will give me a small advantage if I ever fight them during the carnival corpse."

((out of cookies: can't use fancy pictures and stuff... I'll fix it later.))

“See you some other time I guess” he said with a sigh. Tegi didn’t exactly know what to do next. Watching for birds to catch was getting pretty boring, and by the looks of it all the other deadmen where preoccupied. The cat made of blood now left to its own dissolved into ribbons, returning to him once more. Even the deadman standing below had somewhere to be. How could everyone else live the same day over and over so easily when it could be their last? Maybe that was what they meant by life sentence or death row. Death was always around the corner, but the enduring torcher of captivity was something that seemed to be the true punishment. He reflected on why he was there in the first place, not completely understanding why it was so wrong. It was maddening, but it was also observation. Looking at other people’s blood as it fell lamely to the ground, and even more so watching their actions. The panic accompanied by the curses that were spat aimlessly as they struggled to hold in what was keeping them alive. As they pierced the air with their agony he would why he wasn’t that human. Why didn’t his blood fall flat? And more importantly, why were their screams answered while his weren’t? Tegi shrugged it off and descended from the branch he was perched upon. Walking around a bit was better than nothing.

((OOC: Ugh, not a good thing for me to push limits. Why did me two hours ago think it was a good idea?...))

Shinzo rubbed at the bristles on his chin.

" Not exactly noticed, but realized. It just didn't fully register. There use to always be cartoons and movies about rare super heroes. You know, the people slightly different that have unnatural powers among the majority of society. Then, there are people that question why we don't have that. I think the reason would be that Deadmen are the perfect example. Such potential yet automatically labeled on accident or by force into this prison. We become animals because society is afraid of us. Rightfully so, this world is full of ignorant people. Imagine if the wrong person got their hands on this power? It'd be a massacre. "

He lazily placed his head within his hand, looking at the orange and pink mist of the setting sun along with its sky.

" Then there is people like you and me that can sit together like human beings and actually talk without trying to gut one another for greed or insanity. "

Slipped over, looking her in the face.

" I shouldn't say that since trusting anyone here is obviously a bad idea, but I don't see a reason why you'd step over. For now. "

Shinzo's lazy, tired eyes opened only slightly wider. His permanent apathetic lie of a face did not change, though. Having facial expressions that don't act your mood is very painful. He's kinda cheerful all the time but only on the inside.

" Piss you off? I only do what makes sense to me. So far, I would have no reason to irritate you in any kind of way. Infact, you would have a better worth to me as a friend than an ally. "

Shinzo removed a pack of cigs from his shirt pocket. It was American Spirits, a rare cigarette brand that was sold in the United States. Shinzo removed a few and gave them to her.

" I'm not handing them over to you if you smoke, I just don't own a lot right now here. This is more of a token of trust. You have the little bit of pleasure I have left in this prison and whatever you do with them is on you. It might not seem like a lot, but the symbolism of it is the only thing I can think of to insure I can trust you as well as you being trustworthy to me. "

He closed the black pack of natural tobacco and placed it back to where it belonged.

He looked oddly at the doll, looking at it with his blank stare in wonder. Strange...he would have never expected a deadman to use another sort of object for a form of attacking. A puppeteer. Very tactical of a power.

" Astounding. I've never truly thought of such a power. I do like it. "

Shinzo lifted up both hands. He laid out one of his hands horizontally. With his other hand, he used his spiked ring on his middle ring to p***k open his palm on the laid out hand.

" Now then... "

Open palm up, very small spikes sprouted out where the blood pooled. Then, a spike about several inches came from his hand.

" It's nothing really special, but even the basic can be very complex when used correctly. I think my power is efficient enough."

The spike retracted into his hand, the wound caked over with the helping of his Spiked Armor ability making a tiny little slab over the wound. His hands then rested neatly on his lap.

" That is simply it. Nothing more really besides being a bit more flashy with my power. I'm also a Virgo and a smoker. "

As if that bit of information was of any importance. He gave a weak laugh with his tiny smile cornered at his lips. His eyes tried to show him having a nice time even though his face still had the look of a man who had no idea what sleep was.

" Raven, huh? Sounds like someone who is a bit hazardous. I wouldn't confront him out of the blue. I only would desire to fight those that stand in my way. I hope that he would not be a problem, then."

Destroyed this entire ride? My god. Wondering what that kind of power he had was headache inducing.

" I'll only need information on the people I'll have to fight atleast, so we can keep information sharing to another. For the moment. Let's just have a pleasant chat between the two of us. How did such an intelligent lady such as yourself become a prisoner here? "

Shinzo questioned at last, waiting closely to hear her reply.
