Welcome to Gaia! ::

Taiyou

He didn't care for the android's indifference, he knew the man didn't like not being connected to Mother Computer but did he have to be so rude to just about everyone? If Taiyou had learned anything in his lifetime it was that no matter how stubborn someone was they couldn't stay that way for long when they were around him. But then again Soushi wasn't human was he? Taiyou couldn't help but wonder why the man wanted to be connected with Mother Computer so badly. All of the other androids were basically just hollow shells made to look pretty, they had no personality or will of their own; but Soushi was different, he at least simulated a soul and was different from the others. Taiyou assumed it would probably get lonely quickly if he were the only human on earth too, never to be able to relate to another in the same way. Maybe now that Taiyou was helping him out, Soushi would come out of his stubborn shell just a little bit since there was someone by his side who he could reference to for answers about things related to being human.

All of the thinking that went into trying to figure out the android and this new world was starting to make Taiyou's head spin a little and he decided it was an indicator that he needed his sleep. He began to explore the house, trying to find a bedroom but once he found it and plopped onto the bed, Taiyou wondered why the android didn't want to sleep on such a comfortable surface. Then again, Soushi probably preferred to be alone. Taiyou made himself comfortable, taking off his clothes and then realizing he didn't have any pajamas to wear. He began to snoop in the android's drawers and closet, surely the man changed his clothes now and then, walking program or not. Taiyou found an outfit that looked rather comfortable, he wasn't quite sure if they were pajamas but they would do for the moment. He slipped on the large light blue garments with gold trim and climbed into bed, falling asleep quickly, staying asleep well into the late hours of the next morning.

Taiyou

Taiyou was startled awake at the sound of Soushi's voice and wound up falling onto the floor. He stared sleepily at the android, not quite comprehending what the man was saying. "Well good morning to you too...." he grumbled, stumbling upon himself to stand back up, the pajama top revealing his bare left shoulder and covering most of the lower half of his body, since he managed to wiggle out of his pajama bottom in his sleep. Suddenly realizing he was basically half naked Taiyou blushed brightly but he didn't think the android understood the concept of being half naked in front of another man and so didn't make a big fuss over it. "I uh.....hope you don't mind...I kind of borrowed your clothes." he said softly, already working on getting his jeans back on from yesterday.

Taiyou walked out to the kitchen table where Soushi said there was a gift and a message waiting for him. He sort of liked the bracelet but he wasn't quite sure how to use it, even the instructions were slightly vague and not all too helpful. "So....how do I use this thing exactly? And what is RTH?" he asked curiously, not quite understanding the terminology of everything. How could any outsider understand Mother Computer or even Soushi when it seemed they spoke separate languages?

Taiyou

He watched Soushi make the candle appear, fascinated by the whole thing. Taiyou could even feel the heat coming from the candle, he had half a mind to try and touch the flame when Soushi made the rice appear. He was a little apprehensive at first, he pushed around the rice as he wondered if it was edible. The rice seemed pretty real, and it tasted real too. Taiyou couldn't believe this bowl of rice came from Soushi's bracelet and became excited to use his. He looked at his bracelet and decided he wanted to make some soy sauce appear. Taiyou began to snap his fingers and imagine the little bottle of soy sauce, after a few snaps he was successful in making the soy sauce appear but instead of it being on the table it was above Soushi's head and a little of the dark, salty liquid spilled onto his head.

Taiyou placed his hands over his mouth in surprise but he couldn't help but laugh. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for that to happen!" he said with a little grin, going into the kitchen and grabbing a towel that hung on the wall. He brought it over to Soushi and tried to dry the man's long hair. "There are so many things in this world I don't understand....how are you able to understand everything?" he asked softly, enjoying the cleanup as Soushi's hair was very beautiful.

((Sorry, my posts just seem to be getting shorter. I'm trying really hard not to let them get too short! >< ))

Taiyou

Taiyou blushed a bit at the rather blunt answer. "Oh....right!" he said with a small nervous laugh but finished cleaning Soushi's head. "There, I think I got it all....." he said softly, placing the now dirty towel on the counter. "Shouldn't we get going? It's getting later in the day and I'm sure we have a long ways to travel." he said, noticing the time and quickly trying to finish his rice so he didn't have to travel on such an empty stomach. It must be convenient to have every bit of knowledge programmed into you like a computer, no need to study or anything, just look up a keyword and find the answers. Taiyou could name a few times when he could have used such an ability. "I'll finish getting ready." Taiyou was still in the shirt he borrowed from Soushi, complete with pants as well but he couldn't be expected to wear such a big shirt outside. He left for the bedroom and took off his shirt, putting on the one he wore yesterday, missing home where he had to fight his younger siblings for his stolen shirts.

After getting dressed, Taiyou came back out into the livingroom and gave a heavy sigh. "I guess we should get going now huh?" He wasn't really looking forward to leaving but then again he didn't really want to be in this new world. Nobody had asked his permission to come to this new world, he was basically stolen. Taiyou began to wonder if his family and friends were missing him too.

((I also have to remind myself to try and describe the surroundings a little better. I'm not used to it but with all the college writing I do, it's good practice smile ))

Taiyou

Taiyou yawned a little when he noticed Soushi was taking longer than he did, but as soon as he saw what the man was doing, Taiyou became mesmerized. He watched Soushi as he made some sort of screen appear and reveal a very beautiful sword, wondering how long it had been there or how Soushi was able to store it in the first place.The halo sphere impressed him even more, the man definitely looked like a humanoid computer with so many grids around him doing who knows what. "Do you do that everyday? It must be really convenient to be able to have weapons at your disposal and security systems built for you. I wish I was an android sometimes, things would be a lot easier!" he said with a small smile, trying to get Soushi to lighten his mood a little but that seemed nearly impossible.

"Alright, lets get going." he said softly as he followed Soushi out the door and watched him update his sword's abilities. "Can you make your sword perform any attack?" he asked curiously as Soushi mapped out their route. He knew the man was busy but everything Soushi did intrigued him more and more, wondering if maybe this was the future of Earth with everything becoming more technological each day. "Which way are we going? Are there states or cities or towns here like on earth? What kinds of enemies will there be and how are we going to defeat them?" Taiyou asked, the train of questions he voiced were just a few of the many that were still popping up in his mind.

Taiyou

Taiyou grew cautious around the man when he drew his arrow, but when he saw what Soushi did with it he was surprised at the rainbow of data. It was quite beautiful really. "Wow!" he exclaimed as the data fell around them. Soushi caught his attention once more, listening to what the other had to say, Taiyou found it funny Soushi and Mother Computer wanted free will. He knew they had to admire humans. "You'd be surprised just how little free will humans have. Our society has grown so complex that there have been laws created that diminish certain freedoms we should have. I'm not even sure why Mother Computer wants free will so badly knowing this world may very well end up like Earth's." he said softly, admiring the Katana that sat fastened against the man's hips. Taiyou reached a hesitant hand toward the blade to feel the smooth steel but was startled a bit by the next thing the man had to say.

"How long do you think it will take to get to DATA FLOWER? I mean surely Mother Computer has some idea as to where it wound up. We can't be searching the entire world, that would take decades!" he exclaimed, watching Soushi create a door and step through. He wasn't quite sure he should follow, he reached one arm through the doorway but nothing bad happened to it. Once he determined it was safe, Taiyou quickly followed Soushi and being smacked in the face with heat, his eyes widening at the desert. There was something strange about the sand, it didn't look like normal sand that he was used to. Taiyou knelt down and picked a handful of the sand off the ground and saw the various bits of data that seeped through his fingers. "It's.....data...." he said, sounding surprised.

Taiyou

Hearing Soushi explain DATA FLOWER, Taiyou now understood why Mother Computer was having such a hard time. It was like tracking down an ever moving school of fish. But if the one entity that created this world couldn't find it, what did Taiyou have that Mother Computer didn't to help them? "Well....I'm not sure how much help I can be. I'm just an exorcist, and not a very good one that that." he said softly, glad to see the oasis they stopped at. One thing was for certain, there were more oasis' in this desert compared to the ones he was used to on earth. Taiyou watched Soushi create a fire with just a wave of his hand, still amazed the man was able to do this even though it was explained how this was done. It was like watching magic. Taiyou was comforted by the fire but all he wanted right now was to go home and snuggle in bed.

Taiyou's thoughts were disrupted when he saw Soushi start undressing, his cheeks burned bright and he looked away from the man's body in the glistening cool water. "You know...you could exercise a little modesty before you start undressing in front of someone. Someone could get the wrong idea about your intentions." he said softly, remembering the outburst he had when they came to the first oasis and Taiyou saw Soushi undressing in front of him. A moment in his memory he wish he could erase. Besides the fact that on Earth, undressing in front of someone usually meant physical intimacy, Taiyou actually thought Soushi's body was rather magnificent, even if the other was an android. He hadn't said anything to Soushi about that fact but it wouldn't take a brain surgeon to figure that out, he knew Soushi would never understand it anyways.
