Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Ach, you're the famous Lloyd." Jason rubbed his beard. "Hmm. Chunkily, I say. Needs more chunks."
He walked over and placed a pot on the stove, then poured in water and a generous amount of beer. He then fetched another knife, a cutting board, and some of his beef supply, placing them on the table. "Looks like we'll have this finished in enough time, eh?"

"I know 'em as The Wee Drunken Lass, The God o' Hair, Rhone... Unless you mean how I met 'em!" Jason continued his cooking, placing the chopped beef and chicken into the pot, then lit the stove. "Fergot ta' turn it on! It be a long tale, Lloyd. One day, back when I was a wee dwarf of... A couple a' days younger than I am now... I left Morlia to find business above ta' crust. The other dwarves were sad ta' see such an ingenious, handsome one go, but they knew I'd be successful up here. Eventually, after trouncing thousands in a drinkin' contest durin' a night o' loud fireworks while simultaneously jugglin', dancin' and singin' dwarven folk tunes, I found meself in this here town, doin' a job craftin' a statue fer this guy called Khan. Now that I think about it, prob'ly a made up name. Anyway, as soon as I finished it, he suddenly summoned this huge dragon skeleton out o' the sky, then ran off with me work while I was valiantly beatin' his beastie to bits. I tried to figure out where he went, chase him down, and demand me Gald, but 'twas no good, he could 'a been anywhere. As I calmly an' rationally paced about the entrance o' town, these people came in all o' a sudden, nearly run me over. O' course, I got out'a the way. Anyway, while they were talkin' amongst themselves, an idea struck me: Maybe, if I go along with these folk, maybe help 'em out a tad, fortune will smile on me 'umble, honest self, and have us come across this conning Khan, if that's what his name really is, so I can get me payment for that work!"
Jason found himself standing in a dramatic pose on a chair. He hastily got down. "And that's me story. How do you know 'em?"

"I used to travel with colette. Her and Genis are good friends of mine, ever since I went to Iselia." Lloyd said. "It's abit of a long story and i'm sure it's gonna bore you." he said finishing up with the carrots. He set the carrots down and got a head of lettuce from the cabinet and started to rip it open, leaf by leaf.

"D-drinking contest? Sorry, but i'm only eighteen." Lloyd said scratching his head. "Anyway, it started with the oracle happening right as Raine was teaching class...." Lloyd then proceeded to tell Jason the rest of the story of World Regeneration. "And then the new tree was named, but that is something between me and the rest of the group." Lloyd smiled.

((man that would have been a long story sweatdrop ))

After Rhone went in, Raine began fan fresh air at the brothers. Schwarz was the first to come to, "OOOooohhh, my nose. Gah hangover too! Well remind me never go into the kitchen while you're... experimenting with cooking."

"You were lucky with just getting a sniff, Oro got the full burn of it. Why wouldn't he just leave when it became to overbearing?"

"Meh, he always likes to push himself harder then these bodies will allow. If you want to wake him up faster, slap him across the face."

"I highly doubt that would work, or even help for that matter."

"Fine I'll do it then," he got up and grabbed Oro by the collar, " *slap* Oi! *slap* Wake up! *slap* *slap* I can keep this up for a looooooong time bro! *slap* *slap* " By this point Schwarz was more taking this as a chance to get even with Oro and all his physical abuse over the ages.

Raine summarized that thought as well for what was going through Schwarz's head, but she also head an idea of what was going to happen when Oro came too. as if on cue Oro's hand shot up and grabbed his partner's hand as it was about to connect again. It was at this point that Raine decided to step out from behind Schwarz and stand off to the side. "You... insufferable... piece of... TRAAAAAAAAASH!" Oro punched him straight in the gut, and nailed him in his nether regions, with that Schwarz dropped to the ground, followed by Oro. "Dam muscles aren't working right yet." He noticed Schwarz crawling away, "where the hell do you think you're going? We're not finished yet." He began to crawl after him.

"Well... as long as your... mobile, I guess I'll go back in." She turned around and headed in. She wasn't about to watch two grown men, crawl after one another around the street.

"Yah. It also be gettin' there." Jason stirred the pot. "Anyway, thanks for suggestin' the potluck. I had missed makin' this stuff. Brings back memories o' me time with my fellow dwarves. How did ya come across the concept o' the potluck surprise, anyway? Ever spend time with a dwarf before?"

"Dirk?! If ya can keep a secret, he actually trounced me in a drink-off when I came topside. He shrugged it all off with nary a stagger!"
Jason checked the pot again. "That lad 'ad better hurry if he wants 'is stuff in this potluck!"


(Remind me to never, ever try to hijack a canon again. That haunts me to this day. I learn from my mistakes- And I make many mistakes.
