Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sol, waited for Lloyd finished his little family spiel before continuing, "Number one threat... would be the one I direct my anger at. Midgard, country is over polluted, and is rather war mongering. They use underhanded tactics to infiltrate a government and weaken it from the inside out before they attack."

"How do you know all this?" Ilene asked, Sol's knowledge seems too precises to be just a normal civilian of the country.

Sol looked at Ilene and sighed, "I guess there isn't anyway around it, I was once a spy and infiltration expert in their military almost ten years ago."

"Wait your an ex-soldier." Ilene sat there for a moment, "How in the world do we know if you aren't with them still. How can we tell that this isn't just some ploy to get on our good side and then stab us in the back when we aren't looking."

"Wow, when did you think I would be so stupid to come out and tell you that and still try it? And for that matter no, I don't expect you to trust me. I'd call you a complete and utter idiot to out right trust someone when you just met them. Finally I would sooner see my own death then join those lying, pig-nosed, snake tongued, cow manure, scum again. Believe me when I say I felt its cold hand of betrayal once and I wouldn't want to have that on to anyone else."

"As for how people got here originally, I couldn't tell you, I came through a hand made portal, most spots in Vanahiem have some portal type tech that will get you over here, though some are... unpredictable to say the least."

:) "We sure did," Azriel replied to Sirea. On edge, she looked a bit startled at Rin's question. Then, when Rhone jumped into their conversation, she expressed puzzlement and then surprise, gaping. Before she would be caught gaping too long, however, she replied, "O-oh! I never thought about it that way, but I guess that's it! Because yeah, it's never been really hard for me to fly." ^_^

"Well that was unexpected..." said Oscuro, noticing that look Rhone gave back at Azriel, "Why would he let you off the hook after everyone else's been open with themselves? He even demanded the patched-up guy to show what he was like under that hood." confused

Chiaro looked perplexed with herself. Her sense of security was conflicting with her sense of fairness. "I'm thankful and yet a touch bothered that this is a little unfair..."

"Come to think of it, he glossed over that Werefolk girl with the hood there...oh I get it. He must not like discomforting ladyfolk. Heheh."

"Perhaps. Well, what I'm concerned about now is how far this little white lie can go. Every other Wingfolk from Exire has symmetrical feathered wings and he makes Azriel's sound like a rare mutation at most. That'd make one think Azriel isn't the only one."

Lloyd nodded at Rhone, satisfied they had come to an understanding. Looking back to Rin, he added after Colette, "It was interesting, all right. What was kinda funny, though...early on he made it look like he was the enemy. It's a long story. But yeah, even when he was...he still helped us out behind the scenes." He glanced at Colette for a moment to give a happier smile at that look she was giving him. Then, looking to Sirea, he continued, "He decided to leave this world with Derris-Kharlan and the people who had moved there, to help them find a place to live in peace."

After finishing up his conversation about Kratos, he listened intently to Sol with astonishment. He clenched a fist and bore a confident grin at the information he provided. "Great. So we're almost 100% sure it's these Midgard people, but we know how the enemy's going to work. I guess the next thing we can do is go around to each city's leaders and find out if something's up. That sound good with you guys?"

"Yeah, she's pretty cool too!" If Eduardo was anything, he certainly wasn't a sexist, that was certain. He certainly admired people who were out of the ordinary, so it seemed he had come to the right people. "And don't worry about that, Sirea! Not only am I also pretty awesome, but I happen to know how to do this werestuff! I'll help you out!"
While he was speaking to his fellow werefolk, he also heard Lloyd's plan. "Oh yeah, we're going to the city! ...-ies!" He already intended to follow the group around, it seemed.

"That sounds like it would be the best tactic"

"heh, trying to stop them from killing eachother? that will be a challenge. Lilith said shrugging.

"Thanks, Sirea," Lloyd replied, "I'm sure my dad would appreciate such words too." ^_^ Then he nodded at Rhone's offer to use his crew's ship. "Yeah, pretty swell! Y'know, I've wanted to build a boat of my own, but my personal mission took up most of the past century."

Azriel appeared to be pondering very deeply while the others were answering, weighing the pros and cons in her mind with Chiaro and Oscuro voicing them out. She had never traveled with company for very long, and even so, that one time was just with one person.

Glancing at Rhone, she remembered that he could sense something kind of dodgy about her, and wanted to talk about it anyway. Then she took a look around at the rest of the group, realizing that they were quite an assortment and reflecting on how they were so accepting of each other. She had a strong urge to take the risk, but she was still feeling very uneasy about inevitably having to explain the truth about herself, as she felt her own secrets were touchier than the group's werefolk. How would they react to Oscuro? She wasn't a demon but she looked very much like one. Not to mention, she certainly can't keep Chiaro's pet peeve under wraps for long, as it does drive her into a berserk rage.

Being careful enough to keep her thoughts in this time, she admitted to her otherselves, Well...as far as I'm aware, Rhone already knows that I have a deeper secret. And surely...the Heroes of Regeneration are gracious. Maybe...just maybe...we'll be okay.
"You must be sure about this. There pretty much isn't any turning back after you've made your decision."
"I honestly don't mind either way. This could be fun... And if it don't turn out well, we can just ditch 'em and be careful not to cross 'em again."

Nodding, Azriel raised her hand and spoke up. "I'm in on this too." Suddenly, there was a twinkle in her eye and she grinned mischievously. "I foresee some fine opportunities to chance upon some delicious---" Here, she was cut off, jolting like she had received a smack upside the head. With quick thinking, she followed that up by feigning a hacking cough. "Aack! ...Sorry. Something got caught in my throat. What was I saying? Nevermind, it's nothing important."

After having smacked Oscuro upside the head, Chiaro was glaring at her with her arms crossed, a foot tapping, and an eye twitching.
"What?! If they're gonna find out soon, at least let me have my fun messin' with 'em!" >:T

Lloyd smiled warmly, dismissing Azriel's behavior by now after falling for the puberty ruse. "It's great to hear you that you all want to chip in, everyone. Dwarven Vow #1: 'Let's all work together for a peaceful world.' Glad to have everything settled. Now we do need get some shuteye soon...." Immediately after the last word, his stomach growled. He placed a hand upon it and grinned with embarrassment. "...But a bite to eat first, hahah!" He proceeded to grab a few sticks of the meat that Max prepared and chowed down.

Azriel chuckled lightly and took three herself. However, inside her mind...
"Hey. Do I still get to go soul-hunting tonight?"
"You'll have to wait until the others have gone to sleep."
"They'd better not take too long." confused

After dinner, Lloyd got out the blanket he and Colette would be lying on and spread it upon the ground. He'd wait until she got comfortable before he would.

((Figured I'd skip through dinner, nothing much to do there, but I'll let you guys write out how your characters will settle down, seeing as Rhone & Azriel and Eloysio & Lilith will have some interactions over the night.))

"All right, stuff is settled!" Eduardo gleefully devoured his share of the meat.

He nodded at the weirdness comment. "Yeah, it's pretty awesome. Hey, maybe Rhone actually meant the Meat Day, Rin! That would be even more awesome!"

After the meal, he noticed that the others were going to sleep. He felt like he could get up and run laps around the city all night, but decided to follow suit. He just rotated himself from his sitting position into a prone one.

"Well, guess I'm out too! 'Night, people!" With a little wave at nobody in particular, he closed his eyes and curled up in a fetal position. He didn't stop to admire the stars or do any such thing- He was always admiring them. He was glad to find himself with such a nice group. He felt that there was some sort of symbolism in the people and the stars, but couldn't think of what it could be. Discarding the thought process, he fell asleep.

Sol stood up, stretching a bit,"Well if that's all I'm gonna go back into Sybak for some-"

Ilene quickly got up and placed a firm grip on the winged man's shoulder, "Oh no you're not, you'll most likely end up bringing the guards running out to us in the morning!"

"Listen, Missy," He shook off her hand and gave her a bored look, "No offense but I'm looking for info, and every city has a seedy underground connection somewhere whether you like ta admit it or not. If you want ta know the enemy better, I'm gonna have ta go find a couple of my contacts. Besides I'm more of night person anyway, later." Sol unfurled his wings and took of before Ilene could but up any counter argument.

Ilene sat back down again with an annoyed look mumbling something under her breath before sighing and picking up some food and eating, not long after finishing her meal she found a spot to lay down and slowly drift off to sleep without saying another word.

((There no exactly my first choice but it works, go Nighttime scenes people and see you in the morning (in rp time, not earth time wink )))
