(Those damn kids and their rock and roll!)
Skotti got home and slumped into bed with his wife. He had a weird dream that night... with people in it that he had never met before, except for mandi but she looked different, he was in a place he had never been, sitting behind a desk in an office, filling out paper work. The blackhearts where there, but as they used to be. there was a couple, the guy wore a grizzly hoodie and goggles while the girl dressed modern with black hair.
Another girl was there with a man, but not a couple, the man was very properly dressed while the girl carried a crystal and wore a white corset.
A few others came and went but one more girl stood out, and she was the only one that spoke to him.
she wore tattered clothes that looked very loved, a headband, pigtails that stood almost straight in the air. She said to skotti "Boss..... Wake up..." and with that skotti sprung to the sound of his cell phone alarm at 7:00 am.
(EDIT I realize that this will ******** up time continuation in the arc so I will not post until you guys catch up to the next morning)

The pair walked around the area, occasionally being seen by common folk and nobles alike. They stopped at a particular park that was literally at an edge of Serole. There was a very strong, curved force field so nobody could fall off the face of the city, yet anyone could easily see the view below.
Waffle and Norman walked up to the edge and looked down toward Gaia's landscape.
"Looks like there's no cloud coverage whatsoever."
"I know..." Waffle responded. "It kind of makes me wonder if one could see the kingdom from there." She continued, pointing to Gaia.
Meanwhile, Koteki pulled away from his telescope and started recording the coordinates of the floating city's current position, which was currently over Barton and shifting toward Durem. Why is Serole heading off to the west? It normally travels northeast...how does it manage to shift overnight, and to such a huge degree?
He continued to think of a possible explanation when he remembered that there was none of the usual clouds around Serole. He quickly looked into the telescope, almost knocking the ink jar over, and confirmed that there were indeed no clouds. "Double weird...." he mumbled to himself. Colbur was standing behind him and tapped his shoulder. Koteki nearly jumped out of his seat. "What?" he said, annoyed. "I was just about to ask what you were talking about earlier. What was so weird about charting the coordinates today?" Colbur asked. "Go look for yourself!"
Colbur did exactly that, and also saw the strange lack of clouds. His usual faint smile turned into a surprised grimace. Koteki half-frowned, because that wasn't the only thing that was surprising. "That's not the only weird thing going on. Look at this map." he said, giving Colbur the set of coordinates. "For some reason, Serole's been heading in an opposite orbit lately. Instead of heading to the northeast, it heads off to the west, and not even any bit to the south! I swear, something crazy is going on!"
The other just simply looked at him. "Well....there isn't much I can do. I can bring this up in the next meeting I'm attending, but I doubt any of the nobles would be able to find any more information." Colbur suggested as he left the room
Koteki's half-frown turned into a dark scowl when he was left alone. Of course they won't do anything; They care more about themselves and their own petty affairs than anything else! What if someone on Gaia managed to see Serole just sitting there, floating, and decide to take action? We'd be screwed, but nothing would be done because I seem to be the only one who cares about this place!
He started to get a headache from juggling all of the recent events, plus this new dilemma in his head.

if it were any other night Va probably would have seen the floating city. but tonight he had night school. he ******** hated night school. off into Barton town he went, his mother leading the way towards the large building. a guildhouse where music was taught, a bard school. not that Val didn't want to be a bard. he just hated the school. droning away in the classroom, he was the only one to stay till the place closed, and once again brought homework back with him. he fell asleep the minute he could get back into his bedroom at home.

Luciano awoke to the sound of his alarm clock, which rung at exactly 7:00am. He groaned and turned off the clock, he gently shook Michelle, "Amorsita, wake up." he heard her groan and then she clung tightly to him, something she did every single morning. Luciano snuggled up to her, he whispered "Today is your meeting with Congress. ." and that's all it took for Michelle to hop out of bed to go fix breakfast and then carry on her regular routine. He got up and put on his housecoat and then he proceeded downstairs.

(I just realized that too, Skotti.)
Waffle and her husband stayed over at the park until the sun had set, then they headed home for the night. Things at the castle were running smoothly as usual, and then it was time to put the lights out. As she was getting ready to sleep, Norman bugged her about trying to conceive for the fifteenth time in the current month; Waffle simply told him that she will think about it later. All she wanted at the moment was to get some sleep.
In her dreams, she saw herself walking into a building, carrying a duffel bag and a handwritten note. Some people who were also in the room simply looked at her in bewilderment, confusion, surprise, or just plain indifference. A door opened, and a man with wild white hair, which was up in a ponytail-esque style, stepped into the large room. He seemed to look like someone that a person would not want to bump into in a dark alley.
Her strange dream continued until she woke up at 7:30 AM, which in fact was very early for her...although she wasn't the only person in the castle who woke up at a similar time.

It was a week day and the kids where at preschool while mandi taught at a nearby elementary school so skotti had some time to himself.
Skotti got dressed and strolled down the street to do some shopping and probably go hang out at shade's until the family got home.

Luciano got suited up into his uniform. Today he was headed to the base to see if his P.O.W was in a mood for talking. Michelle kissed him on the mouth before she left for the meeting, and he wished her luck. He put on his shiny boots, laced them up and then he put on his jacket and then the sash decorated with tons of medals. Bernardo always loved to play with the little medals and then Luciano would always say, "Become a soldier like your Papi and you'll have medals just like mine."
Before going in to work, he decided to go downtown to pick up a little something for Michelle. She always works so hard in office and at home.

"I Don't know why you do it, skotti! you can just call up Gibson and ask them to send you this guitar and they will, for free!" yelled the music store keeper at skotti as he left with a vintage ES-335.
"It's not the same mack, you know that!" said skotti with a smile "Besides, it's my kid's birthday coming up, I wanna give her something that means something". he said as the shop owner smiled and skotti walked down the street with the old guitar case.

morning routine again, Val woke up at 7:45 am, ate breakfast, finished homework, went to school. on his way he stopped to hang out at Rina's Flower Shoppe. he was quickly ushered by his father to the school though, and he sighed. college was a bore. all he did was daydream anyway.
he imagined being an outlaw. how awesome would that be. riding a motorcycle, or just kicking his feet down a road. traveling. i was't made for this. he thought. sitting in a classroom, living in one place all my life, nver seeing anything... i'm trapped here, caged up. i have no friends. it was ironic that as he said this to himself a girl walked up to him and asked him to join her debate team. he shrugged and signed up. when she asked if they could hang out he turned her down with a grumble of annoyance. the human girl wrinkled her nose and walked away with a "hmph!" of irritation at being so rudely turned down. but in Val's mind she didn't realy care about him. he didn't trust anyone. who could like him? he was a loser.

he got up from his chair and opened the door for her. "the proffessor went into the office to get something, you didn't miss much. i took notes, you can read them. just the intro of the class." he said this quietly and sat back down, offering her a seat next to him so he could get his paper back quickly.

Luciano stopped by Durem Depot to, both, say 'Hello' to Moira and to possibly get something for Michelle. The second he walked in Moira walked up to him, "Hey there, Soldier. In for some shopping?" Luciano gave Moira a pleasant smile and then he took his hat off and then he said to her, "Where can I find something sexy? Something that my lady would like?"
"Shopping for Michelle again?"
"Yep."
"Yeah. I figured.[/]"
Luciano and Moira conversed for a little while and then she helped him pick out this lacey set of lingerie. This please him very much, mostly because he could picture Michelle wearing it on one of those steamy nights Mmmmmmm. . .. He paid for the set and then he went strolling down the street, going in the direction of his car.

Lana ran into the room and hopped into her desk. She stared at twi's paper as she took her laptop from her bag. "thanks a bunch, I always miss my classes" she said, typing up the notes.
Skotti walked down the street, switching the song on his Ipod no, ipod! I don't want to listen to any more J-rock! he thought as he accidentally ran into luciano.

Val shrugged. "he never says anything that's not in the textbooks, unless asked. you could just get his cell number and call him at night for questions. sides, he isn't very good at keeping track of things, so he won't ever notice you don't show up if you can keep your name on the attendance sheet somehow." he didn't usually talk this much, and he was starting to feel uncomfortable. what did this woman want from him? if she wanted to cheat off of him she'd only hav eto ask him.

"Pardon me," Luciano said to the oddly dressed man, "didn't see you there." Luciano took his hat off. This man looked oddly familiar. He stood up straight, as usual, noticing he was a few inches taller than him. This thought tickled him a little bit. "I didn't mean to just walk into you like that. Tons of things on my mind. ." Luciano adjusted his jacket and then he held out his hand, "I'm Major Luciano Aguierre-Cheverria de Lenchantin of the Durem Marine Corps. And you are?"
