Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I've kicked the bucket more times then I'd like to admit." Poke replied. "But from what I heard, Red has come back from being 'dead' dead. As in, she was a stone statue, and now she's not."

At Riyo's question, the dragoness sighed. "Yes and no. I don't feel so guilty anymore, but I'm concerned as to how events will play from now on. I brought up Red because, while everyone seems ecstatic at her return, I'm still not convinced this is a good thing." She stared back at Riyo as she tried to make her point. "She seems connected to the insanity somehow. She was wielding hunter weapons, forming the fog to her will, it was weird..." She closed her eyes, a annoyed look coming over her face. "Not to mention we have a extra powerful influence to think about now. She took out the hunter leader like it was nothing. And a few students to boot."

Opening her eyes she rested her head on the table with a frown. "We have to many powerhouses around with different agendas. And I remember the last time I decided to follow one of them" She held up her hand, the black spiral of the four clans still planted firmly on her palm for all to see. "Not that it wasn't for a good cause, but still..."

"Please don't say that..." Poke groaned as her forehead hit the desk. "I'm still trying to get to a third year status intact. I'm so close to becoming a second year, so, so close. And jack be damned if I'm going to let myself be pushed around."

Hearing the cat ghoul speak ill of the horsewoman was comforting, however. "I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates her" She growled. "She's a pompous b***h who has every horsemen wrapped around her finger, and act's like she knows everything but won't cough up the info without a price."

She glared at mark on her hand. "This ******** mark wont come off, and I'm afraid of what that means. It's too much like a demon mark, and jack be damned if I'm going to be summoned in the middle of the night to do her dirty work."

Huh. Why was Riyo's body working against her? That remark had Poke looking at the cat demoness as if she could spot the reason why. "R...ight..." Clearly she had no idea what Riyo was talking about, so she shrugged it off.

Though her comments about the mark had the dragon sighing. "I guess so." Clearly she wasn't convinced, but it wasn't like she could do anything about it. She merely stared when Riyo said they were cooler. She didn't give a rats a** about how cool they were, and the mere thought of having any sort of mark that made her belong to someone infuriated her.

Scratching the side of head idly, she thought of something else to ask. "Oh, by the way, How much do you know about the hunters?" Poke asked. "I know they're human and they're hell bent on trying to kill us, but whats up with their weapons? I didn't know humans could make weapons that strong." Nor how they could handle so much FEAR.
