Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Iamel knows magic?" Yashima offered, throwing his brother a curious glance. The boy in question rolled his eyes and shook his head to the negative.

"I blow s**t up. Doesn't mean I can get rid of spirits. Besides, I don't think you WANT me blowing this place to smithereens if it's our only protection." He couldn't blow it that high anyway but he wasn't about to say so. His fingers gave the butterfly womans hand a soft pat, other arm wrapping around her to help keep her upright.

"...shouldn't WE have magic?" The fox finally asked curiously, hand reaching under the folds of his clothing to his belt. His fingers stroked the wand there, eyebrows knitted up. "I mean...we should." He stuck close to Zah though and other then speaking to Kay, ignored her.

At least he wasn't angry?

The woman moved aside when the trio approached. As soon as they were back in, Kyo would lock the door to the garden. They would go back to the main room.. and then she could finally tend to Xerk. Well, no, first she had to tend to Ari. Looking down and trying to form her features into a reassuring smile -fail- and going as she was directed. "Tell me how it feels, Ari. Can you move your legs? Is anything broken?" The teacher asked, kneeling next to the woman and reaching forth with her gray hands. If the woman was sapped of her energy, she could restore it. To Kay, she bit her lip quietly. "I possess psionic ability, probably a bit more powerful than yours." She offered softly. "And some healing and barrier..."

Speaking of the Mindflayer, one way or another he had ended up outside the playpen, leaned against it. No one had been there to but him in, and he couldn't exactly climb. Watching Vanaja being put in, he turned to the ferny child, eying her in the dark and murmuring random mouth-sounds at her. A familiar voice perked over Kay and the others. "Ash...Yashi?" He called aloud, though he may not have been heard over the commotion.

Rouge let the girl go and sat down on her haunches to keep an eye on the other children. Someone had to make sure they didn't start a fight or get panicy or do something that would get them injured. The elder kids could handle themselves but Rouge wanted to make sure the babies and toddlers were okay.

EDITED

Turning to look up at Kay she spoke. "I can use a gun pretty well. If you give me one I can do sniping from back here and keep the kids safe. Ranged weapons are better for those who don't want to get too near to the action or who aren't physically capable of it."

DOUBLE EDITED:
Rouge looked down at Xerk. "Need a hand?" she said, holding out her arms to pick up the boy and put him in the playpen.

Nicolai nodded, inwardly shaking his head at the idea of plasma rifles and other 'hokey sci-fi' weapons she had brought to mind. He entered the training room and gave the area a look-over. He spotted the weapon closet across the room and darted to it, flinging it wide open.

Uh....

"Kay, do you realize I only have two arms?" he called, wincing at the sheer amount. He gave a shrug and grabbed an armful of weird gunlike apparatuses, carrying them to the door and poking his head out. "Someone wanna grab these?"

While the people inside grouped together and strategized, the shadows outside had successfully broken down one high wall of the gardens and were pouring in, leaving dead plants in their wake. Trees were uprooted and fell down against the ground, causing the grounds to shake.

They had begun mobbing the garden door in an attempt to get through - but thankfully, the door seemed to be warded.

The gasping, moaning, and general bitchery from the spirits could be heard in the headquarters now, echoing down the halls.

The noises lasted only a moment before it went silent, as if all the creatures had disappeared.

The shadows parted and made way for a creature who looked like a disfigured troll, drained of all color (not that trolls had much color to begin with), to be able to get to the door. It was warded, but not strong against a more powerful entity.

It was ripped off it's hinges without a word - and down at the end of the hallway, Talbar became visable.

And he was smiling - which was very, very unsettling.

"Big ups right. Lots of flesh meat, energy. Fun."

His voice came out garbled in troll-like speak but it was understandable.

( happens before in betweens last post)

" What the ******** hell is going on here" Malen asked entering the main lobby. Everything was wrong here and it gave him the willies. He'd at first though what was going on was enviromental, the typical s**t that happened whenever tectonic plates shifted or some such nonesense. Now after being tossed about the bathroom being locked in it then locked in the bedroom only to find the world had lost colour.

Now after he'd finally be able to get out and follow the sound of voices only to find everyone bunched up in the lobby with Kay directing them. He wanted anwsers and he wanted them now.

Kishi eyed her sister " I can fight with whatever I'm given but I'm best with my wand, I doubt it'll hurt them though." She been silent for quite some time just taking everything in and worrying about what would happen if Del came home from her lessons and the house was gone.

Aurrek followed the knot of other adults towards the weapon closet, calling to Nic and the others, "I can use a gun, if you have one for me, too." He had not really been involved in a real conflict in quite some time, and was not eager to get into one now, but there was really no choice.

After all, he did not want to leave the poor babysitter too long with Kelreid.

Tripping a little over his robes, he approached the weapons closet. "My magic isn't any help, really, but I'd gladly shoot things." He had played a few zombie-blasting arcade games before; how hard could it be?

[edit] As a gun was thrust out to him, Aurrek took it in both hands and stepped back a little. He turned it around in his hands and looked it over as well as he could in the limited light.

"Thanks. I'll, uh, do what I can with it." [/edit]
