Welcome to Gaia! ::

Home Coming? - Gera ends up straying back to the curio shop!

Photo Shoot Day

(( Done with Orpheus Solon via AIM ))

It was the appointed day, Thursday. A dark haired Trin was scurrying about getting stuff together, outfits and makeup and setting up lights and generic backdrops for the photo shoot. She was going full out with this photo op as she figured she may not be able to blackmail him or guilt him into doing it again.

"Don't touch its hot.." Trin warned as Gera who wasn't even moving in the direction of the lower lamp. He watched her move about in a very robotic like stance. His eyes watching..his body still.

Jiang was a trembling mess as he went from home to where the woman that he 'owed a photo scoot' lived. He was wearing a light blue, simple robe with long sleeves that fell passed his hands in a protect manner. He was carrying Deimos in his arms, the light weight child was simple for even someone like the kirin to toot around though the mere fact that he was doing so was a surprise for Jiang. He was more then a little surprised that the boy wanted to go anywhere after the last time they'd left the house. The boy had been quite unhappy with how things had turned out and hadn't really spoken to any one for days following. He was more then happy to bring him along as it came someone to cling to as he walked along to the appointed place.

"We will do this and head home." He murmured, this sort of thing wasn't his sort of thing so he was eager to pay her back what was owed so he could return to the safety of his home.

Trin was the sort of artist who worked on a whim, as well very organized to the point it was a bit of her perfectionist coming through she judged the lighting and adjusted everything before she went about checking over the costumes she had laid out for him. She had taken a wild guess for his size and choose a variety for the sake of hoping one of the outfits would fit. She was looking forward mostly to guessing him up with makeup.

She hadn't forgotten that the child that belong to Jiang would probably be over as well. Since she stated they should have a 'play date' of sorts. Gera did desperately need more socialization. He was sitting down in the middle of the floor watching her intently as she moved around. She could only hope that Jiang showed up soon..

As though summoned by her hope the kirin lifted on hand up to knock a small, cloth covered hand against the door of the house marked with the number he was looking for. He waited patiently, tail swishing behind him in a rapid and somewhat nervous manner. He really hope that they were here... he didn't know what he would do if he came and they weren't home.

Deimos lifted his gaze to watch his Momma for a moment then went back to look around, curiously. He hoped to see that robot again... his Momma mentioned that they were going to see his Mother so maybe that meant he'd be around as well? He hoped so.

Trin perked up as she heard the soft knocking and she nearly tripped over her own two feet her feet pounding on the floor as she rushed to the door. Straightening up she did a pat with her hair and then went to open the door a huge grin on her face.

"Sweet you actually came." She stated as she had been a bit worried he would just blow off the photo shoot. Her eyes darted to the small being in his arms and she was glad of the little boy being there. It meant that Gera would at least have someone to pay attention too...

"Come in come in." She ushered the duo in as she was pretty sure if she didn't both may flee...

Gera had trotted after his Auntie and had watched her curiously as she opened the door and greeting Jiang and Deimos before bringing them inside the house.

Jiang gave a nod of his head, "I would not skip out on you, I said that I would come to pay you back." He murmured, stomping off his hooves before stepping inside. He gave a little smile as he looked at the woman and then around as she ushered them along. He gave her a smile, "Lead the way and we will work on this 'photo shoot'."

Deimos looked down at the 'robot' as he appeared and lifted a hand to wave at him.

Gera looked to Deimos and recalling he was suppose to wave back did so. A small gesture a very small wave.. but it was still a greeting of...sorts.

"Yes well you seemed rather hesitant about coming in the first place.." Trin commented as she then gestured for Jiang to sit down on the couch.

"The boys can play whilst I get to work on you..that alright?" She asked though it didn't sound like a question..more like she was being polite for politeness sake.

"Gera come here!" Trin called out only to find that Gera was right behind her, she nearly jumped out of her skin. God he could be super quite sometimes.

"Gera I want you to play with .." She struggled to remember the boys name.

"Jian's son...alright?" Gera only looked to her and then back to Deimos and then back to his auntie and then nodded his head.
"good boy."

He gave a nod of his head as he lowered himself down to the group so that he could place the boy on the ground near to Gera, "Here you go." He murmured, nuzzling his cotton candy hair before he pushed up to his feet once more, "Sorry, yes. I don't often leave my home so this is... very different and a little nerve wracking but as you said I owed you." He stroked his son's hair before he turned his attention to the woman completely.

Deimos watched Gera for a long moment before he nodded his head, "Deimos." He said, introducing himself.

Gera nodded his head as he then looked to his Auntie for more instruction. He had never had to play with another person before.

"Take Deimos..and show him your room..." She offered as a suggestion and Gera nodded his little head and then gestured for Deimos to follow him.

"Sometimes I swear I inherited a robot...not a child.." Trin muttered with a sigh before she turned her focus completely on Jiang before her, moving forward she brushed her fingers through his hair lightly testing the texture and then cupped his chin gingerly and examined his facial features. Pleased she then went to her palate of colors.

"I have some costumes I would like to shoot you in..they are in a pile over there." She gestured for the kirin to look through she then began to select some of her colors to give him makeup.

Jiang watched as Gera and Deimos headed off to play before he turned his attentions to the costumes that were pointed out to him. He stepped closer to them before he really looked them over and his cheeks colored slightly, "There... isn't much to a lot of these." He murmured, as though maybe she hadn't noticed that fact.

Gera showed the boy his room like he was told to do. It wasn't a very...interesting room. A bed. A vague amount of toys that remained in the boxes and a few taken out as Trin had tried to explain how to play with them. There was...however a collection of metallic items that seemed to be in clutters about the room.

"Room." He explained with a gesture amongst the room. He then turned and stared at Deimos.

"Hmm? Well yeah...so?" Trin replied to Jiang as she looked at a couple of colors in the light and then half turned to see which Jiang was looking at.

seeing his colored face she had to wonder if he ever wore anything besides the robes he was in.
"Come now .." she moved over and rifled though the pile and pulled out a white costume that was like an elaborate suit with golden trim.

"See this one would cover you up just fine." She stated as she shoved the costume in his direction and pointed to the bathroom that was close by.
"now go change."

Deimos looked around for a moment before he moved over to look at the metallic items that Gera collect, head tilting to one side. That looked... dangerous. What if someone fell? They would end up poked by a lot of those items and could pick up all manner a diseases from them like lock jaw or tetanus... he gave a shiver and scooted back a bit away from them. He turned to look at Gera once more, "Your room is nice." He said finally, not sure how he should react to the robot boy or how they were supposed to play.

Jiang looked at the suit that was pressed into his arms and found himself pointed where he was supposed to go to change. He stood still for a moment before he turned to do as he was told, moving into the bathroom to change out of his robe and into the strange and elaborate costume that was picked out for him.

Gera looked from Deimos to the room and then back to the kid before him. He only shrugged his shoulders at the compliment.
"What want do?" He inquired prompting the boy for an order. He didn't know what else to do.

Trin gave a nod of her head and decided to go ..and lock the front door before she moved to Gera's bed room and peeked in. Oh great..he was staring at him...

"Gera why don't you ..I dunno play a board game? Or how about you take one of those toys out and play?" She prompted before she left with a shake of her head.

Gera had looked to Trin when she spoke and he nodded his head as he then looked at the toys and did as told. Taking out a random toy that seemed like a etch a sketch he then brought it back and offered it to Deimos.

He looked over Gera for a long moment before he merely starred at him then shrugged, "I... don't know." He said finally. He wasn't sure what they should do, he settled down on his foggy lower half and watched the other boy closely. He gave a jolt at the sudden sound of the woman's voice and vanished from sight. He turned to watch her when he was invisible from her sight before he looked over to Gera who was doing as told, getting a game for them to play. He only came out of hiding when Gera returned with something in hand and he looked it over, curiously.

Gera continued to stare at Deimos having found it interesting how he could disappear like that. He looked to his own body but found he couldn't mimic that. Nor could he make himself float like he had either. So he copied the other boys hair style. It was..interesting, how he enjoyed copying others and how they looked.

Deimos watched before a small smile showed on his lips for only a moment as the other took on his look, "Neat... how you change. I can.... in a way. Not good though." He murmured. He tilted his head to the side and then relaxed a bit as he watched Gera, not having nearly as much interest in the game that he'd gotten as he had in the boy himself.

"Can change. You like?" He asked aiming to please, though he wondered what Deimos meant by being able to change himself though only 'in a way'. He wondered if he would like it if he changed to look like the boy he met named Kay. "Can change what want?" he inquired next pressing for an order.

The pink haired boy tilted his head to one side, watching him closely, "Ahh... what all can you do?" He asked, reaching a hand out slowly and hesitantly to touch the hair that had taken on a new form in a gentle manner. Could he change only his hair? Or something else entirely? It was a curious thought.

Blinking he looked to Deimos and then back to his hands and then did what he had done for Kay. His second more plain arm became to morph and twist to look like an exactly copy of his other more...solid looking arm. Once he was sure the details were perfect he looked to Deimos expectantly.

"Can change much of me." He stated with a wiggle of his new hand/arm.

Deimos watched as Gera's normal arm changed to looking like the more scary arm of his and starred at it a little uncertain, "Be something... less scary?" He asked, hesitantly, voice trembling slightly. He didn't like the look of the other boy having two matching scary arms...

Less scary? He...thought hard on it...and his other arm changed so that it slowly melted into something that looked like a a pillow.
"Not scary?" He prompted, though his other arm could shift slightly it didn't have nearly as much control as his more plan arm.

Deimos seemed to relax again and he nodded, giving a smile as he reached out to poke at the arm that was now looking like something that was less dangerous and more comforting in a way. He had pillows of his own and he wasn't even afraid of them since they were nice to sleep on, "Better, yes." He said after he inspected the new form that Gera had taken on. It would appear as though he liked it far better from the way he was acting and smiling even.

Judging by the boys action he looked to his pillow shaped arm and then slowly shifted it so that it looked more like a teddy bear. It was kinda creepy ..the boy having a teddy bear for an arm. But he was testing what Deimos liked and didn't like.

It was a little on the odd, creepy sound as he watched but it wasn't as frightening as the sharper arm. He poked at the bear a bit then gave a smile, "Your normal is alright." He told him finally, finding this as being the most he'd spoke to anyone in a while that wasn't part of his family. It was new for him and while it wasn't the easiest thing at least Gera gave him something easy to talk about.

Blinking he nodded his head and allowed the arm to shift back to what it normally looked like. He then looked to his other arm as he had figured for the most part it scared the other boy.

"Hard change.." he stated as he pointed to the more constructed looking arm. He tried and it softened...the metal looking as if it was trying to melt...but failing miserably.

He watched as Gera tried his hardest to change his other arm and found himself a bit curious as to why he could shift one portion of himself but not the other, it was a strange, "Its... okay." He said finally, he shouldn't make the other change, should he? He shrugged a bit then wrapped his arms around himself in a protective manner and seemed to be trying his best to work up his courage before giving Gera another smile, "Its... okay."

Gera looked back to Deimos and shook his head looking for the first time..annoyed. It was the first time he had ever disappointed someone...and he narrowed his eyes trying to get the other arm to resemble the plain on..but despite the focus it only looked more and more like a melted mess...

"Want please want order..." he stated with a frustrated tone.

Deimos tilted his head to the side, "O-Order?" He asked, looking over at the arm that was looking a little... icky then reached out to pat him on the head, "P-Put back your arm, l-like it was before." He said finally, deciding that a good first order would be for him to fix himself up since his arm was looking more scary when it was all melted and icky... though it looked more dangerous when it was all sharp and pointed so really in Deimos's mind neither was a good solution... so best to pick what would be better for Gera.

Looking relieved the boy seemed able to fix his arm in a few heartbeats. It was strange how it was so unwilling to conform and yet going back to its original shape it was easy as pie. Giving a deep breath he looked to Gera and imitated the smile as he knew he was suppose to when people smiled at him.

"Good order...what u now?"

That was better he thought to himself as he watched his arm return to how it was supposed to be. He gave a bit of a smile before he shifted the way that he was sitting, watching him closely, "Umm... now? Ahh.... do... that thing again? W-Where you made your hair look like Momma's ears?" He asked, that had been kind of... funny, the way that he had made it so they twitched and flapped so much like he might try to fly away with his ears.

Gera brightened and then did as told, the ears came out of his hair and then wriggled back and forth like he had seen Jiang do. He had found it interesting how they had moved which is why he had imitated them in the first place

Deimos gave a little chuckle as he watched the ears as they were made and started to move again. He lifted his hands up as he clapped his hands together, that was neat to see, it was cute! He nodded his head, "That is good." He murmured, liking that trick the best of the ones that he'd seen the metal boy do thus far.

Gera was glad that Deimos liked it, he wondered if he would like the snake thing..but he recalled how Deimos had not liked his scary arm. So he was smart enough to not summon the snake head. But he tried to think of other things...things he had seen, recalled as being labeled as cute. His mind went to the times Trin had pointed things out and said the word.
His strange ears shifted to resemble a cats.

Deimos's eyes got wide as he saw the way the ears changed into the ears of a cat, blinked a couple times, then found himself reaching out to touch one of the ears. They were cute... while he didn't like cats because they were scary due to their sharp teeth and claws, not to mention those slitted pupils, he found the ears to be nice on Gera, "Those are cute too." He murmured, the tip of his foggy tail twitched in a happy manner.

Trying to recall other cute things he changed them from the cat ears to big floppy ears of that of a beagle he had seen once. It was huge and long and seemed comical on his small head. With a dumbo themed size...

"Those are..." He lifted a hand up to cover his mouth and did his best not to laugh. Again he was rather afraid of dogs, dogs were creatures that had scary teeth, they went around in packs, they attacked people... but the ears were alright when they were on Gera. This was... interesting, it was like being able to see the best aspects of a lot of scary things that he would never go near at any other time in his life. He touched the longer ears again before he gave a little nod, "Those are nice too."

Gera struggled to think of other things that were cute...it was getting harder as they didn't often come across cute things. He finally setteled on rabbit ears, large one he had seen on television. He looked to Deimos expectantly, eager to please. He liked making Deimos happy. Trin always seemed so frustrated by him.

Rabbit? Those things were... odd, why they went around giving candy to kids never made sense to him... and he didn't like their big front teeth and small beady eyes... but again it was alright on the metal boy. He liked him, he was like... a window to the world and made it so he coudl see things in an atmosphere where he felt more in control since he took orders so well. He nodded his head as he patted Gera on the head gently, "I... like you." He said, the words sound foreign on his tongue, he didn't like much in the world since everything was scary, dangerous, and made him want to run away, cry, or both... but Gera was... a good boy.

Photo Shoot Day prt 2

Gera stared at Deimos for a bit after he was told that he was liked. Well...Kay liked him too so he guessed that was a good thing. He continued to stare at Deimos as he let the rabbit ears shrink back into his hair. What else was there? He though of birds...some Trin called cute. So he formed two pairs of wings on his head.

"Like ?"

Dei nodded, lifting a hand out in a slow and hesitant manner toward the wings before he gently, hesitantly touched them before giving a soft smile, "Nice, I like." He whispered, rather loving the feel as it did almost feel as soft as the feathers of a bird looked... and it was without all of the things that made a bird scary. They had sharp beaks, claws, beady eyes, and they could dive bomb from the air! Getting to see wings this close up was a bonus that made him enjoy this strange power of Gera's more and more.

Gera made him bigger so that Deimos could look and feel them better. He went to sit down as they were getting pretty heavy.

"Dei...like...what Dei want see?" He asked in his rather monotonous tone. He was staring up at the boy since he had no idea what the other could want to see or experience.

He nodded his head, "I like." He sad again, petting the wings that he'd made even bigger before he watched the boy sit down. He tilted his head to the side before he lowered himself down to settle on his wispy bottom and watched Gera closely. He was... so very nice and cute he thought to himself. It was... strange, that he was liking this person in a manner similar to his family members. Sure parts of Gera were scary, very much so when it came to his arm, but his magical hair seemed to make up for that. He tilted his head to one side as he thought about that, "Umm..." What did he want to see? He gave a small shake of his head, "Ahh... n-not... sure. You did s-such... nice things already."

Gera stared at Deimos and then tilted his head letting the wings sing back into his hair. He then raised his normal like arm and shifted it to look like a giant spoon.

"Kay liked...you like?" he inquired showing off the spoon like appendage. From the background you suddenly could hear.

"Will you stop squirming and come out from behind that curtain! You look fine!"

Gera looked at the door to his room wondering if the order was meant for him.

Deimos gave a wide eyed stare at the 'spoon arm' and gave a bit smile as that was... funny since it was just so very, odd and out of place... then sudden voice caused him to jolt before he faded out of sight in an instant. He turned slowly toward the voice and came back into view after a moment and he glanced over at Gera, "Ahh... d-do you think they are okay?" He whispered to his metallic companion. He pushed up on his wispy bottom and floated toward doorway to peek out, a little worried for his Momma Jiang.

"seriously you'd think I asked you to pose nude...now stop quivering like a jellyfish and just pose...sheesh..." came another round of rather robust words.

Gera noticed as Deimos vanished for a moment. He blinked a couple time reaching out as ...he had just been there...and stopped himself when Dei reappeared. He watched at the other boy moved to see what was going on.

"Dun..no." He replied as he got up to follow Dei like a puppy.

Jiang peeked out from where he was hiding and looked at the woman before he gave a shiver. He wasn't sure about this, these cloths were so different then he was used to wearing, rather tight even. He shivered then stepped out, tugging at what he was wearing as though he hoped to loosen it a bit, "Ahh... I don't know... about this." He murmured, shifting a bit. At least it seemed to cover more then some of the outfits he'd been given to pick from.

Deimos glanced at Gera before he slipped forward, keeping pressed close to the wall in hopes that nobody would notice him getting close to get a peek at his Momma. When he did his eyes got rather wide, giving a little gasp. What... was he wearing? It was nothing like his normal, flowing robes and it made him look much different which Deimos didn't seem to like in the least. He wasn't one that seemed to deal well with big changes and as such he floated back away from the adults only to bump into Gera which startled him into squeaking and vanishing once more.

Giving a snort the woman then hurried to where the other was and gently yet firmly took hold of his arm and then lead him towards a chair and sat him down.

"you owe me remember?" She stated with a grin as she grabbed her makeup pallet and then went about sitting in front of him.

"Now close your eyes.."

Gera had followed him like a determined puppy and was a bit surprised to have Deimos suddenly turn around and then crash into him an vanish.
"Dei?" He asked as he looked around a bit.

Jiang squirmed a bit as he was reminded that this was something that he owed to the woman after he'd given her the necklace without telling her about what it entailed. He settled into the chair, hands worrying and clinging to each other while she set to painting his face with the unknown substances. This wasn't something that he liked in the least but... if it would make it up to her then it was the right thing for him to do, right? He didn't want her to remain upset with him and him remaining owing her.

The boy turned to look at Gera and after a moment spent trying to get his racing heart under control he slowly came back into sight once more, "M-Momma... looks d-different..." He whispered.

Gera blinked and then moved around to take a look. He didn't have a momma so he figured it must be Deimos's momma he was talking about. He looked around the corner and studied his auntie Trin and then the figure sitting with her.

"Momma there.." He stated in rather obviousness. "Different..but there."

"Gera...still Gera.." He stated as he then transformed his arm into the spoon again, "Still Gera.."

"Oh pish.. you tell me you NEVER change your clothes? Don't you get bored with the same outfit all the time?" Trin asked a bit on the bullying side. And though it seemed like a lot of make up was being applied she was only enhancing his wonderful looks. When done she marveled at her handy work and then showed him the results in a mirror.

Deimos fidgeted, it was like Gera said but... Momma never changed. He was always in the same, soft looking clothing, the same gentle smile, the same kindness... this was far different to him which made him worry a bit but he hoped in the end like Gera his Momma would turn back. He turned to look back at his friend and his spoon arm before reaching a hand out to gently pat him on the head. He liked Gera and seemed to appreciate the fact that his friend was trying to make him feel better.

Jiang shifted a bit more before nodding, "I wear... my robes." He explained, "Not always the same one, I have many." He just always seemed to wear the same sort of thing because it was soft, warm, and easy for him to get into. The many different colors and patterns that they came in were something that he rather liked as well... he shifted a bit in his seat trying to get used to the feel of clothing that was so close fitting.

Softening a bit she wondered if he had lived a very sheltered life, she leaned in close to him.

"Well...a change isn't a bad thing...I mean there isn't anything wrong with ...trying new things? Maybe you'll like it?" She pushed with a smile as she brushed her fingers over his hair that was in his face before she winked at him. "Besides...it would be good to show your kid that change isn't as terrifying as it seems." She finished with a nod of her head before sitting back to look him over again.

"Look good...now go and stand over there." She stated gesturing to the area that was designated as the photo shot area.

Gera let his arm shift back before he shifted so that he resembled Kay, with the snake thing on his head and the strange bone mask that covered his face.

"Kay...look this...Kay nice..." He stated with a nod of his head.

Jiang gave a little nod of his head, pushing up to his feet and brushing his hands over his clothing in an uneasy manner. Maybe he'd like it? He wondered what Reu would think if the man saw him like this. He headed over to the area that he was pointed toward and moved to stand there, shifting and fidgeting there before he turned to face Trin. He took in a deep breath in an attempt to calm himself as he wanted to be able to do this and to get it over and done with.

Dei was watching so he missed the fact that Gera was changing until he heard him saying that someone named Kay 'look this'. He turned to look at what this 'Kay' looked like and his eyes went rather wide at first, he took a sharp intake of breath, and this time instead of vanishing he seemed to do what he did when he was really startled... he crumbled into a heap in a dead faint. While the fluffy ears, wings, and even the spoon arm had been something he could deal with the new change had been a bit to much for Deimos to deal with.

Gera stared as Dei had passed out and then went to nudge the child. Getting no response he tottered off to find Trin.

She was just getting ready to set up the camera when she saw Gera coming out of the hall way a bit more hurriedly than normal. He came and stared at her a long time before she acknowledged him.

"Yes Gera?"

"Deimos...on floor." He stated pointing in the direction where the boy was laying.

Eyes giving him the what the look she placed her camera back onto the tripod and then looked to Jiang.

"Stay here..." She instructed as she followed Gera back to find the boy unconscious on the floor.

"Gera! What did you do?" She squeaked as she bent over to check the boy for a pulse.

"Change..to look like Kay.." He replied simply.

"Gera, you know he is fearful...why would you do that..??" She demanded as she went to scoop the child up so she could carry him to the living room.

".....Gera..not know...Kay like...so Gera thought Dei..like.."

"Gera...not everyone likes the same things.." she scolded as she came out carrying Jiang's unconscious son.

Jiang gave a little gasp as he trotted over to his boy as Trin returned with him, lifting a hand to gently fan him, "Deimos, Dei... come on love, wake up." He murmured.

The boy's eyes fluttered for a moment then slowly opened up to stare up at his Momma for a long moment before he gave a bit of a confused look, "M-Momma?" He asked, then looked up at the woman that was holding him, "Ah... what... h-happened...?" He couldn't recall... only that he'd seen, "A s-snake in the hallway." He recalled, there was a scary snake!

Jiang glanced in that direction, shifting a bit in place before his attention was back on his son again, "Its alright, its gone." He assured him, soothing a hand over his song's brightly colored hair.

"Gera!" Trin stated sharply as she passed the boy into Jaing's arms...what a waste since she had a hunch the boy and his 'momma' would probably want to leave quickly.

"Apologize to Deimos! You shouldn't scare people!" She scolded him looking at him with a glowering look that caused the boy to look tot he floor.

"Gera...sorry Dei.." He replied as he looked to the boy and then to his Auntie before his shoulders slumped a bit. He looked a bit defeated.

Jiang hugged the boy closed then nuzzled against him in an affectionate manner to soothe his fear. He would have likely been a bit startled as well if he'd seen a snake in the hallway of a home. He smiled when Deimos returned the nuzzle and both turned to looking at Gera.

Deimos starred at his friend for a long moment then nodded his head, "I-Its... okay." He told him, it wasn't as though it were the first time he'd fainted and he somehow knew that it wouldn't be the last either given all of the scary things that there were in this world.

Taking a deep breath nostrils flaring Trin pointed to Gera and then to his room. Understanding the silent order he looked to Deimos one more time before he moved to his bedroom for a time out.

Giving a sigh she looked a bit worn out.

"Sorry about that...he doesn't really understand..people...or what he should or shouldn't do..." she explained..."maybe its best if you go now.."

Jiang shifted, looking a bit startled, "B-But... I... the pictures that I owe you..." He said in an uncertain manner, he hugged Deimos to his chest and looked pretty unhappy. He wanted to pay the woman back for what he'd done, to make it up for her... and he was already here and dressed up in the clothes she'd picked out, "I am... sorry."

Deimos looked between the adults before he hugged his Momma to try to make him perk up, to make it up to him. It was his fault for getting so scared by that snake that Gera was in trouble and they were getting kicked. His eyes wide and watery before his hide his face against Jiang's chest. The kirin gazed down at him before he started to stroke his hair in a soothing manner.

Trin only gave the man a grin before she waved it off.

"Keep the outfit...and we will just have to arrange another day..maybe we can do it at your place this time...maybe just outdoor shoot.." she stated with a half shrug. She really needed to talk to Gera about how things worked...

He shifted in the place, "K-Keep it...? I don't know... are you sure?" He asked, he didn't want to take the clothing as it might have been expensive and he'd feel bad for him owing her even more, "At our place? Maybe, I will talk with Reu about it." Maybe that meant that Gera would get to meet with Wynn as well? That would be nice he thought to himself with a little smile.

'yes yes your place..and I made that a while ago.. I can always make another." she explained giving a wave of her hand. "Sorry for all the trouble. Maybe getting shots of you in a more comfortable setting would work out better anyway." She didn't worry about Gera coming back out as he tended to never disobey anything she said.

"sound good?"

He gave a nod of his head as he moved to where he'd gotten changed so that he could fetch his robe, pulling it on over the golden outfit that he was wearing and gave the woman a smile, "I will get a hold of you soon, after I talk with the rest of the family about having the next photo shoot at our place." He told the woman, giving her a smile as he felt better when he was back in his own clothing. He hugged Deimos close, wrapping him up in the robe so that he would feel warm and safe before he started toward the door, "I am sorry that today didn't go as well as we would have hoped." He said as he reached the door.

"Maybe next time will go more smoothly." He said in a hopeful tone of voice.

Trin didn't seem overly upset..more like she was surprised it had lasted as long as it had.

"Yeah ..sure thing." She didn't sound convinced she would hear back from Jiang.

"See you around then."

He gave a smile and then headed out quickly, happy when they were starting toward home once more. He would be truly relaxed only once they were safely back home and he was able to change back into his own clothing. Deimos was curled up in his arms, hugging close, and seemed as though he were half tempted to doze off as though the trip out had been very exhausting even if he'd done very little in comparison to Gera who had been doing so much shape shifting.

Music poured out of the headphones the basically could cause a normal person to go deaf. But she was grooving away in her dark room leaving Gera to deal outside as she didn't trust him in the room in the dark..


So Gera was diong as told. Sitting in the kitchen...'behaving'. Which resultedin him sitting there...and staring at the camera that was on the table. He stared at it a good long time before he finally reached forward to touch it.

SHe didn't say he couldn't ...touch it. She said not to play with it. So he wasn't playing with it. Touching was alright...right? He found though as he ran his fingers along the edge of the camera it stuck to his fingers.

He blinked a couple of times as he tried to withdraw his hand but dragged the camera closer to himself. Using his other hand he tried to pull tugg his hand fee and managed to...but only by somehow ripping part of the camera casing off.

He stared at it...and then realized his other hand was stuck. He went about repeating the last step as he absorbed the bits stuck to his fingers into his body and then yanked his other hand off....repeating the same amount of damage as last time.

This continued on until there was...only plastic peices left...and a very manageled once analog camera. He ...wasn't sure what to do...all the peices of metal were now long absorbed into his body...though he made a concious effort to make sure that the pendant given to him by Kay remained on his chest, the camera peices didn't have the same luck.

"Gera lets have grilled cheese for lu..." Trinity had stopped dead in her tracks when she saw what Gera had in his hands. She blinked...opened her mouth to talk...and then turned and left the room.

Gera looked to the skeleton of the camera and back to where Trin had exited. He had a feeling he had done bad.

He pushed the broken peices away from him and then tottered off to where he found Trin standing just outside of thearchway that led into the kitchen. Her hands were clenched at her sides, she looked positvely fruious and was trying to keep her cool.

"Gera...sorry." He started and Trin only took a very deep breath before looking over at him. A rather forced smile on her face.

"It's....okay Gera..I shouldn't of left you alone with it.." she made it sound like it was her fault...and it was. But Gera only looked to the floor knowing Trin was angry at him.

Patting his shoulder awkwardly she moved back into the kitcehn, "it..it's just a camera Gera...it can be replaced.." But by the strain in her voice it was evidence she didn't quite believe her own words.

Just dance!

All you can eat!

What the H*** - Journal Rp

Trin was in the middle of unpacking one of the numerous boxes they had still yet to get through. She had allowed Gera and Roxy to go to get food since Roxy was so demanding about well just about everything. She had her head in a box when Gera and Roxy arrived back from their outting.

Roxy who never clung to her seemed to have a change in heart when she was tugging on her pant leg and generally being a pest.

Trin sat up finally a face full of dust giving a huff,
"What is .." she started and then seeing the girls rather solemn look she stopped herself. She looked past her to her brother who was standing a good distance away. That...was odd.

Picking her up she stroked the little girls hair and then carried her out of the room.

Gera had stayed where he was, thinking. Not liking that Roxy had become so sscared of him, not liking what he had done out of instinct. He cuold only blame himself really...it was he who did it...no one had ordered him to do it. It left the other rather unnerved.

Moving he went to sit down an odd occurance for him as he normally stood too nervous about breaking chairs or couches if he sat.

It was some time before Trin came back and she was quiet though she offered the boy a smile she didn't comment or say anything to him. Perhaps it was for the best?
