Welcome to Gaia! ::

{{Oh cool post, Rrine! biggrin }}

{{LOL!!}}

Ever gasped and quickly turned her head away as Musica came toward her. She thought he was going to try and kiss her! However, she suddenly felt his entire body resting against her along the wall. She turned her head to look at him and noticed that he wasn't moving and that his breathing had changed.

She sighed and wrapped her arms around his midsection. "You know, you really suck right now. How the hell am I supposed to drag you to a room right now?"

She started to shake him the best she could, trying to wake him up so that she could at least stumble with him to a bedroom.

))Theeeereeeee we go.((

It had been a few minutes, and Ari still wasn't back. Nessa couldn't help but be worried. "I'm going to go check on Ari... you two chill here. I'll be right back!" She then darted away through the crowd, shoving people out of her way. Adrenaline gave her strength, and she quickly made it to the stairs. She took them two at a time, glow necklaces and such bouncing up and down.

She made it to the landing, and quickly spotted Ari, to her relife, skulking in the shadows. "Ari!" she exclaimed, "What are you..." Nessa then followed Ari's angry gaze to an open door, and Ness' mouth dropped open. "Oh Ari..." she said softly. However, Ari had started to move. "Ari!" Nessa called frantically, "Ari, NO." She grabbed her friend by the arms, and Ari whirled around, looking like she was going to blast Nessa. Nessa recoiled from the terrible look in her friend's eyes. That was murderous. Suddenly, Ari just looked small and lost, her eyes swimming with tears. Nessa hugged Ari. "It's ok..." she whispered to her friend. Ari only stifled a small sob. How could Evermore do that?

It was nearly nine 'o' clock, and none of the girls were back on campus. They were dead. Aphrodite sighed, closed her eyes, and located Evermore's aura. With a snap of her fingers, Aphrodite materialized in front of the mansion. "Hm... not bad," she said with a shrug. She snapped her fingers once more, and her outfit changed to one more acceptable for a party. She entered the mansion, and all the guys in the vicinity turned to stare. The girls just looked sulky, sensing that this would be one woman that would be very hard to bully.

Scanning the room, she appeared next to Ares with a smile. She grabbed a drink as a tray whizzed by. "So," she said, "Where's your little Evermore? I actually feel better that you've been here with the girls."

Musica's breathing remained heavy and in between gasps he began to attempt speech. "Mutter, I want my Mutter!" He clang to Evermore's side, having now reverted back to being a child. Musica was reliving the day when his mother and Gabriel had been in fear of him, since he'd turned crazy when he hit puberty. He'd become the Nikolaus we now know. Musica's body was still on an emotional back up, and now that he was drunk he was free to release those pent up emotions after many decades. Briefly a single tear, only a small one, escaped the poor man's eyes. As soon as it had been there it was gone again. Now he was silent, the breathing calm, as he clung to this woman he really didn't even know now. He felt fear once more and he hated it.

Nessa was feeling ill again, but she tried not to show it for fear that Ari would take advantage of it and break away from her. She wasn’t confident she could reign the girl back in once she was loose. In fact, it was a good thing she was shepherding Ari. If she hadn’t been, she’d probably go give Evermore a long lecture. She had thought Evermore was a bit self-centered, but this was way out of line. ”It’s ok, Ari. Things will work out ok…” but even Nessa didn’t really believe that. She’d be surprised if Ari didn’t strangle Ever tomorrow at breakfast.

Another wave of nausea hit. Things were changing again.

((Is anyone ever gonna post in SG?))
