Welcome to Gaia! ::

The girls thought about this. "Well sometimes we land near Barton, sometimes times in Durem...well really we land where ever depending on what we need at the time. And if it's a holiday we tend to go stay with our families." THe girls shrugged. "I'm from Denia so Mr. Antio just drops me off there and tells me when he plans to pick me up again." One girl mentioned. "During really bad storms we either go up higher out of the way or we land right where we're at. We don't really have a captain." "Where are you from miss?"

"I'm from Barton too!" One of the girls giggled. "Yeah me too." One of the two boys spoke up. Finally they joined in with the talk. "Mom has a little art shop and dad trades weird pets." He rubbed his head in thought. The other boy raised a brow. "IS there any more news on what happened with Gambino?" "OH yes! Did they ever find Gino?" "I hear they think it's him who knocked him off." "Oh no way, not that guy!" A tall girl giggled. "You an tell we're a little gossip hungry. Can you fill us in on anything?"

"Gino in an airship!?" The group gasped. "Oh wouldn't it be nice if he stopped here?" One girl sighed. Another made a gagging sound. "Gross, who would want to look at the geek?" "Well he is a bit small but I think he's rather cute." "Cute nothing! Look how long he keeps his hair! Freaking Hippie!!" The girls began to argue again but the boys only rolled their eyes and went back to talking to the woman. "I hear Von Helson's has a new kid roaming around. He lived in Barton too but I don't know much details about that. Guess he's a vampire too..." "And WHAT'S wrong with vampires?" A girl looked at him. Her fang popped out as she glared. He jumped a bit. "N..n..nothing...just stating..." "Watch out, she might suck ya dry! HA HA!" "I'll suck YOU dry!" "Aright...that's enough." A voice spoke over the group. Everyone turned to look at Antio calmly staring at the lot. He held a tray up in one hand as his other hand rested on his hip. He eyed the lot and then moved towards the table. Placing the items before the woman he spoke low. "Fruit. And you''ll like this. Something new." He placed a cupcake in front of her. It had purple frosting and had brown shavings on the top. "The cake is made from the leaves of the tree." He nodded to the large Casimir tree and then back to her. "I also added a few of it's berries to the batter and then used the berries for the frosting. The shavings are some bark that I've grounded. I figured you'd be the nature type. Everything is natural and organic. There ya go. Enjoy." He looked bored but there was a odd tinkle in his eye. He turned to look at the group. "You too boys?" They two looked guilty but Antio shook his head. "I guess you lot can have a day off. I'll handle the bill and the rest." He turned to walk off but the girls cheered and surrounded the woman. "Woooo! He made something new!! What's it tasted like!?"

(OOC Cupcakes shall rule the world MUAHHAHA)

The girls squealed with joy. "No that makes sense!" "He puts so much emotion into his cooking." "Oh Now I want one!" And soon the group began to wander off to do their own things. The two boys were the only ones left. They looked at each other then at the woman. "I have to say, you must have done something special. Mr. Antio never makes new things just on a whim for buyers." Soon the boys even left her. Antio watched her from the kitchen. He would check on her in a bit, but he didn't want to bother her like his workers. He had a feeling before she left, they would surround her again with more talk. It would be better for her to have a few moments of peace to eat. However he couldn't help the small burst of pride. 'Happiness?' He tried to hide the smirk that formed on his face but couldn't. 'That's a new one.' He looked away as he rubbed the back of his neck. 'Better make sure I'm not blushing....how would I explain THAT to the crew.' He looked back at the woman and then to his dishes. "Better start cleaning up. I'll check on her in a minute."

It was sometime later when a shadow appeared over the young woman. Noticing she had finished, Antio decided it was best to check on her again and give her the bill. "Would you like anything else?" His deep voice asked. He eyed her water and turned to fill it up. As he poured he noticed it was rather quiet.....TOO quiet. He raised a brow as he looked around his ship. 'Where are the girls....'

He looked down at the human. 'Dear lord she's tiny. She could sit in my hand if I tried....wait what?' He shook his head and then raised a brow at what she said. "Out...side?" He looked to the open sky around them. "No...More like up to something." Just then a loud crash filled the air, followed by a small boom that sounded more like a poof and then a thick black smoke began to float up from somewhere near the bottom of the ship. "THE HELL." Antio said said loud but calmly. He looked at the girl before him. He was just about to say it might be safe for her to leave when shouting began. "MR ANTIO!! THE PILOT ROOM IS ON FIRE.....AGAIN!" "GRRRRR!!!" Antio actually lost his cool. He glared towards the voice. "Excuse me..." He said quickly and began to run, which looked more like a limp really. He began to climb down some steps all the while a few girls were running past him to get buckets of water. The door to the pilot room was wide open and black smoke was pouring out of it. He coughed and raised an arm to cover his mouth. One of the boys was pushing two of the girls out of his way to pour water on the fire that one of the panels had started. "THis piece of crap!!" One of the girls shouted. 'Indeed...this if the FIFTH time this has happen this month.' "Move." He said as he picked up two buckets with his hand and quickly poured it on the fire. "MORE!" He shouted. He had to put this fire out. If they didn't, it could get to their tree. 'Hell if that is going to happen.'

Antio grabbed one bucket after another and poured them over the fire. Many girls were coughing and the boys were trying to pour just as much water over it. 'This isn't good...it's much more powerful than any fire we've had so far. This REALLY isn't good...' Antio turned to grab another bucket but paused to see the costumer. Hadn't he sent her away for her safety? He shook his head, grabbed the bucket from her and poured. "MORE!" THe smoke was out of control. Much of the coughing was getting worst. 'I have to do something...' "EVERYONE GRAB A BUCKET NOW!" He watched his crew hurry away and in seconds come back. "Crowd the room as best as you can! Don't be afraid of the heat, get as close as you can and when I say 'Now' pour the water at once towards the fire!" The girls and boys began to move towards the door. "It's so hot!" One girl cried out. Antio looked at the costumer. "You deal with plants. Get the hell out of here!" He shouted. He sounded harsh but he was thinking of the trees she raised.
