Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Enter]

Hanon enters the vaizard home, relieved to escape the crowded room. The home was empty for now, and she hoped it would remain like that for a little while. She took a seat on the couch ready for anyone to enter. Hanon stretched out on the couch and turned on the television, something which she had not done in a long time. She extended out her arm holding the remote, and began to flip through the channels. Hoping to find something entertaining, Hanon kept her eyes on the t.v. and did not bother to look if anyone walked through the garganta at all.

Hanon looked up to realize that someone entered through her garganta. She jumped up from the couch, dropping the remote on the floor with a loud clang. She approached him and held out her hand. "Hi, I'm Hanon nice to meet you. You are?" Hanon could sense that he was slightly uneased about this, but wanted to reassure him. "Don't worry no one here, with the exception of Feiy or intruders, will try to hurt you or anyone else. And that garganta will be open for a little bit more if you wish to turn around." She added a smile to make the statement as reassuring as she could.

"I'm Matsu. Nice to meet you too." He took another look around. "Really? Thank you then." He took a look at the Garganta. "No thanks. I am not going back yet." The worry that he felt had left already. He felt a lot better.

That is...until he heard some strange noises. He tried to find the source of it, quickly finding out that it was just Nicholas. "You pop up at the strangest time, you know."

He shook his head, accepting this as something that he'd have to get used to all over again.

"Anyways...What are you doing here?" he asked him. He was annoyed or anything, but he didn't expect to see Nicholas here. Then again, he should have known by now that Nicholas does the strangest of things. This should have been no surprise to him.

"You are a sneaky one..." He shrugged it off. The thought wasn't very important. "It helps sometimes..." He walked over to him. "You also came for the training...Its kind of funny how everyone is focused mostly on that. Or at least, they are focused on the fighting part of the training."

He walked over to the couch and sat down. "We are probably going to wait on a few more people, but I'm not sure myself. You can either wait or ask Hanon."

It was then that the last of Nicholas' words hit him. The VC challenge. He had forgotten about that. Still, he ignored it for the time being. for now, there would be nothing of the sort, and he did not come here to train for that. No...he came for a different reason.

"Food...?" He thought about it. At the same time, his stomach made a low growling sound. He did need to eat. He hadn't eaten all day, not even when he woke up. Of course, shortly after he had woken up, he had injured himself. Therefore, he had no way to stop and eat something. Not only that, he had also run out of food. "That sounds good. I need something to eat, otherwise, I'll die." He laughed a bit at this.

He walked over to the fridge and looked around. He managed to find some fruit. He took quite a few and closed the door, sitting back down on the couch. It had been a while since he had eaten fruit. Months to be more accurate.

"These are the best strawberries I've eaten in a while!" He was very happy at the moment.

It was then that he noticed Hanon enter with some clothes. "What's with the clothes. This made him wonder as he continued to eat. Why would she suddenly appear with a set of clothes? He shrugged it off, though. Right now, with his hunger prevailing, he thought of this as slightly unimportant.

"Nice to meet you Nicholas." Hanon wasn't sure how to respond to the bow so she, in turn, bowed back to him. Hoping it was atleast close to being the right thing to do.

Hanon looked over at Matsu, slightly confused. "Oh, these are for after the training. I don't like to stay in dirty clothes for long, or if my other clothes happen to become ruined during the training." Hanon placed them in a tote bag and set the bag down on the couch.

"This place is the Vaizard home, but the others aren't here right now." She walked over to the kitchen and began to boil some water in a teapot. She grabbed a bowl of insta-heat ramen out of the pantry and set it next to the stove. "It seems like a few shinigami life to buy houses. Ryan for example has his own." Hanon couldn't think of any others off the top of her head, but she remembered she was still waiting for the bank to approve her loan for her own house.

A Garganta Opened up right at the entrance to the house as KEvin emerged from it clad in his armor, with his helm on his head, his face was not visable and his eeys would be very hard to see. He looked over by the television to find 2 new people in the house. He placed an arm on both of them on the shoulder with a deathly cold grip. "Who are you?" He asked in a cold, dark voice before he turned them around to face him, he had that thing about his which could strike fear into your soul just by looking at him.

To say that Nicholas was surprised by the sudden grip on his shoulder was not exactly true. He had been expecting such an action as soon as he felt the guy (A vizard like Hanon? They seemed to know one another) enter the room. His deranged, blood fueled brain had after all logically concluded that if someone was to stumble home in a foul mood- like Kevin apparently was- and to suddenly discover 2 randoms eating and talking to a friend of theirs- like they were, said hypothetical would naturally be rather suspicious and thus interrogate said randoms.

This somewhat normally drawn conclusion actually had his zanpaktou spirit somewhat stumped. Nicholas wasn't one for normality after all.

No, what really put Nicholas off was how cold the guy felt. Everyone else in the room was giving off a generally warm vibe, you know like you're supposed to be doing, but this guy...It was like staring at the Death of something, was the best way he could put it. Like something was missing, yet he wasn't sure what. He resisted the urge to make a few jokes about it, for they would most likely end in the rapid displacement of several of his limbs.

"So," he said, reverting back to his old British accent, a lovely habit of his when he was around strangers "You come around here often?"

Hanon looked slightly afraid at this new guy's presence, a warning not worth ignoring, hinting at the sheer head-crushing depth of the guys power. It wouldn't hurt to tread lightly around him.

Placing a hand on his chest, he did his best to bow towards the man (succeeding in replicating the Keanu Reeves move from the Matrix) and stated dryly.

"Nicholas D. Tenukage. Shinigami, seeking training for reasons of my own. That's Matsu over there, though it'll probably be better for his own safety and life if he introduced himself."

He was half-expecting Kevin to say something badassedly sexy like "I don't need the names of the people I'm about to kill", a strange thought since the idea of his own death seemed somewhat amusing to him at this point.

"You might want ta let go of me soon by the way. The little voice in my head doesn't like it when strangers hold onto me for so long. A shame to, it ended up in the death of the last girl I had a one night stand with."

Smoke began pouring off Nicholas' body, followed shortly by the smell of burning brimestone in the air. His body temperature began rising exponentially as slowly, yet surely he was beginning to burn.

"You have 3 seconds big man. The loss of your arm at the loss of my life seems pretty fair to me. It ensures that even if you do kill me, I make it slightly easier for the next person to come along to kill you."

He narrowed his eyes, even though he was quite sure Kevin couldn't quite see them. Again, it seemed rather strange. How ******** jaded had he become, that the idea of the loss of his life left him strangely ambivalent?

Oh wells, he concluded. If he got out of this alive, it would make a great story for a bar someday. The time he burnt ice cream was getting a little old for an anecdote ******** Tutor))
