Welcome to Gaia! ::

Time Skip - It's Lunchtime now, everyone who should be here is now and everyone is or should be unpacking food for the potluck.

For once it seemed the mission went on without any issues. Shun didn't mind that too much but patrol duty was always a little drab to him. Though, if anything he loathed the thought of the picnic moreso than the patrol itself.

Once they had reached the spot where they were to eat lunch, he brought Fang to a halt. A few moments later, he and the organoid came hopping out. While the pilot fetched what he needed, Bent-Tail trotted over towards the tall grass, curious to see if there was anything hidden within. He was highly amused to meet a fleshy version of himself.. which was much smaller of course. The little rat seemed to be startled with the metal rodent's presence and promptly bolted off, much to Bent's disappointment.

When Urania showed up, Shun merely gave her a nod of acknowledgement before setting out the things for yakisoba - something he had learned from his mother before she had passed on.

Bent-Tail promptly hopped on over towards Urania to greet her as well, remembering her to be quite the nice one!

Talon chuckled as it seemed like everyone had brought delicious things. He wasn't too sure about the pizza, but then once he saw the box, he was thrilled. Nabbing a random cola bottle and popping the top --setting the discarded bottle cap on the rock for easy collection later. Taking a sip of the soft drink, he eyeed the sandwiches and blinked at the plates and forks. He forgot about that.

"Those would be quite useful. . . Forgot about those. Eh. . . " Then of course it was shortly after he got distracted by the shiny Raziel. Talon was quite impressed with the Organoid. The shiny level was amazing. It was slightly blinding. Sunglasses were implimented to examine the fancy looking dragon-type. "Wow. "


Moe chirped at the other MRZ's as he nibbled his ice cube. He waved to the shiny organoid before discovering that there was a rat. No. The actual rat seemed to be recovering from a heart attack in its hiding hovel, but Moe did discover Bent-tail. With a graceful belly flop onto the dirt, the little dino charged over to say Hi to his friend.

Urania, being sensible, laughed, kneeled down, and gave the rat-organoid a good hug. "Bent-tail! You're as cute as ever! " She giggled some more and waved to Mr. Grumpy Gills. "I'm actually surprised you're out and about with people. "

Ranee's Brow raised as the shiny silver organoid appeared it was incredibly gorgeous! She wanted one, Ranee felt she was about to explode for a moment but continued to keep a straight face. She was good at that for sure, she had to be after all.

But the organoid was still gorgeous!

"I concur, Mr. Hero." Ranee agreed with Urania about Shun as she headed in the direction of the food. She Knew that continually being called a hero was a bother, but it was fun none the less. Ranee gave bent-tail a little wave as she went and picked up a sandwich. At least there was a variety of food here. She gave a grin "No alcohol this time?" The comment was obviously directed at shun, who for their previous encounter had absolutely no alcohol tolerance.

Wandering over to Talon, Angelina gave a light chuckle and placed Skylar on the ground as she saw the little green MRZ run around "Ah so that's The present from Our General eh." she gave a light laugh "He's pretty cute."

Skylar ran over to the other MRZ's and bade them a hello. They where different and not something you'd see everyday. At least not for Skylar, his tail swished back and forth as he examined both of the other small zoids.

Raziel too was curious but still unsure as to leave it's friend's side. This was her human after all. She gave Moe and bent-tail a wave in return. Raziel nudged gently against Angelina.

Angelina bent down "It's fine, go meet them." she spoke softly to the Organoid. Raziel was always curious but at the same time overprotective of her but she wouldn't have to worry about much out here with so many zoids.

Raziel gave a nod and a light 'don't touch my human' growl at the other unknown pilots before making his way toward the other like himself and the mini zoids. Raziel's own movement was graceful and steady. 'Good day' she bade both bent and Moe.

Lorna glanced at the interesting assortment of food, she loved to try new things and that yakisoba definitely fit the bill. It was very bizarre in her eyes compared to the other food. Then again she'd tried some pretty strange things. However Lorna quite liked this, It tasted good as she tired it. "It's good." she said quietly.

She heard Talon's comment about forks and plates. She laughed a little on the inside. She was surprised a few of the imperial solders had forgot something so important. Especially concerning food.

"Oh I've been out and about plenty," he grumbled under his breath. As chaotic and strange as some of the recent events Shun had been in, he was half-expecting something to crash this potluck. Though, it would be nice for once for something to go more or less according to plan and kind of be able to relax.

"No alcohol," he shot back at the Princess as well.

Shaking his head to himself, he went ahead and grabbed a plate while looking over the food to see what he wanted exactly. There were a number of things that looked good to eat. After grabbing a few things, he went to sit down against one of the trees in the area.

As he started to eat, he heard Urania give her name. Oh, right. He should probably do that too. Though, perhaps a little later whenever he was actually talking to one of the other soldiers.

Still on his haunches, Bent-Tail watched as the dragon organoid approached them. With a happy squeak of sorts, he greeted her in response while introducing himself. Like Moe, he noted how shiny she was. Certainly if Zutnic saw the dragon, he'd be going on about how he was shinier and stuff like that.

There was a silence that fell over Talon as he listened to Angelina explain the origin of the dragon organoid. How kind of them to offer up a gift as lovely as this! Kinda made one think that they should go into the Hero business. . . as if the military needed another crazy vigilante running around spouting nonsense!

"Thats . . . " He stopped mid response, mind actually catching up to what was being said. Angelina had had an encounter with a monster? Talon's mind did a quick reboot and he took a sip of his beer. "Dang. Glad that you both are okay, or as well as okay can be. "

Talon's mind wandered to his own recent encounters with the strange and a rather annoyed scowl crossed the merry man's face. Then again, he was now slowly realizing that there needed to be a very strong alliance between the Republic and the Empier if this 'thing' was to be stopped. Sadly, if it was stopped, there would be an even greater evil on the rise and by that time the two factions would be at war again. At least, that's what the history books foretold.

Blinking out of the boring, and rather upsetting historical foreshadowing that may or may not happen, Talon realized that they were now talking about the shiny dragon. "Raziel? Ah! She's quite beautiful, elegant, and does have the air of great intelligence. " He was about to take another sip when she asked a very good question. Talon's gaze moved to study the great Tyrant.

"I . . . Actually, don't have one for you. It just evolved during one of my missions. " Yeah, like he was going to tell her that his zoid is a fusion between ancient technology caused by the very monster she cannot remember. Hell! Even his superiors didn't know what really happened and it wasn't like he was going to tell. Besides, there was the ever looming presence of the Judge about that would kinda know if he told and he liked living ever so much more than amusing her. Then again, maybe his existence was the very joke. "The details are in the official report. Lots of classified mumbo jumbo. Pretty nifty though. Can track a beatle over 500 mi away. " Probably was exagerating, but eh, he was trying to get the image of the Judge out of his head.



Moe noted the small discomfort of his pilot and looked over there at the two squishies before getting distracted again with the other small zoids. He squeaked and hooted some concern, but really, this was a safe place. Nothing bad at all could POSSIBLY happen, save for someone kicking dirt in food accidentally. But Moe did like the big shiny thing. It even gave one of the big arms a hug.


Urania heard her name and looked up from her conversation with Larna to Ranee. She nodded and waved. Course she did! Hadn't she? The day was starting to blur.

She was then asked again if she brought the pasta salad. Was there something wrong with it? With a slight nod, she dug into the cold dish, then nibbled at one of the noodles. Nope. Nothing at all, perhaps a little warmer than it should, but it was fine. "Yes. I did. Have you tried it yet? "

Ranee ended up paying more attention to the organoids and the MRZ's while she ate. They where all pretty cute when playing together. She really was hoping something interesting would occur that wasn't expected they where basically on the boarder in the middle of nowhere, in most movies that's where things happened... Ranee Huffed before continuing to eat.

"Yeah, so am I" She admitted glancing to her Zoid before starting to mutter to herself "Something caused Seraphim so suddenly shut down too.." that was another unexplained thing. Everything was a mess in her head, She'd even tired to investigate that woman, but a woman in a mask never produced any leads either. "that's Right seven of your army's pilots where killed as well inside their Zabers." Talon must have heard about that at least.

She gave a nod, like the command wolves who could evolve also she figured the rev build by Dr. Fox should have been able to do the same. "Incredible range for a zoid" Angelina commented "He's even more impressive than before."

Raziel gave a nod I see, who's this other? The dragon cocked her head at bent-tail. Raziel resisted the urge to shake the strange MRz off.

Skylar on the other hand jumped on the back of moe, maybe he could ride this thing like Raziel?

Lorna shook her head "I was going too." a faint smile spread across her face "I quite like to cook sometimes, and I like to try different types of food." she spoke softly taking a spoon full of each salad.

As she tried it she gave a nod of approval to Urania "They are all really good."
