Welcome to Gaia! ::

Arc 0

Adam heard someone shout. The female voice said something about an idiot or other. He traced the voice to a girl in black shouting at a group of people. He made his way over there to see if anyone could tell him anything. "Yo." he said a bit monotonous. "Callin' people outta they name is unnecessary. Like, for real." he said. Unknown to him, she already apologized. He pushed the conversation forward. "Any of y'all get anything we could use? What they looked like or whatever?" he asked. He looked at them all to see if anyone could shed some light on this situation. "By the way...who was poppin' off them rounds?" he asked.

×××xxxxxxxxxxxx× Rori ◥ | ◤ Thera

××××[ The lightning sparking from her form lessens until it comes to a full halt after the intruders vanish. Her eyes slightly narrow as she’s suspicious of their intent. So, they stand there clear as day in the open, then decide to vanish without retaliation? “Gutless rats. What are you up to…” she whispers under her breath. After a few moments, she turns around and takes one last brief moment to glare over her shoulder where the men were. With a huff, she faces forth and heads back. Immediately she sees Xandria apologizing to some randoms, and frowns. In a stomp she puts herself between her new teammate and these other students.

“Raise you head, Scarf. You didn’t do anything wrong there. These Jakes weren't even around to confront those bastards anyways.” she says, tapping her sword over her shoulder with the other hand resting on her hip. She eyes the black cloaked woman, and the other guy with eyes of frustration. “If you have enough energy to go barking at my Scarf, then you can spend it finding out how those bastards did their disappearing act, and why the hell they are here takin’ students! In-fighting isn’t gonna get us anywhere! Priorities! Friggin’ priorities!” she yells out, not really caring who can hear her. ]

Joji wasn't close enough to the group to hear the first half of the dispute, but as he walked back, he started hearing someone being rude to one of his teammates. At the team leader he couldn't allow it, but Rori had entered the fray and began taking up for her, but the man continued his act towards Rori and Xandria. That's were Joji couldn't just sit by and let that just pass without at least saying something. He quickly headed over to the group and got between the gap that was between his teammates and this new guy. Joji immediately turned towards him to speak. "Okay look. Her,
right there in the blue scarf, my teammate Xandria." Joji raised his forearm and pointed to Xandria with his thumb. "She doesn't start anything with anybody, you need to chill out, and her." He did the same gesture, but this time to Rori. "You most definitely need to chill out with the way you're talking towards her. Meanwhile you over here clowning my teammates about not catching them. Nobody caught anybody around here." He turned towards his group. "Head back to the dorm, we need to figure out a way we're gonna get Lavender back.

×××xxxxxxxxxxxx× Rori ◥ | ◤ Thera

××××[ The wild haired guy immediately starts barking off at the mouth as if he himself did a single thing this entire time. He wasn’t even around to confront the targets, but apparently feels he can talk down to those who actually attempted it. Rori listens silently, tapping her blade over her shoulder the entire time. It isn’t the first instance she’s encountered his type, and it won’t be the last most likely. Once he finishes, Joji chimes in, attempting to cool down the vibes a bit, but once again the other guy goes mouthing off. “Hooh? You really like the sound of your voice, don’t you? Well let’s get one thing clear. I. Don’t. Need. Your. Pass.” she starts off, before walking towards the guy, red lightning sparking from her body every so often. “You’re a tough guy, right? You’re a big boy. Then why not teach me a lesson? C’mere. Let me show you the fastest way to a peaceful ending right here and now.” she finishes, a smirk on her face. If he wanted peace, he shouldn’t have ran his mouth. ]

A small smirk crept across his face. It quickly disappeared as he started to talk. "You wanna fight me because you got the game twisted?" he asked.
"I'll repeat this one more time...I wasn't comin' at yo girl. Words were said by my girl in black over here, but she quickly apologized BEFORE you came over here.
Then, you came over here all hot tryin' to get it crackin' making everything worse. You follow? You keepin' up. After that mess, ya boy over there overheard yo loud self and thought something was goin' down. So, don't come at me when you were the one who made it worse. I'm not scrappin' with you over a misunderstandin'. You wanna brawl? We'll do it when it makes sense. If I feel like it. Now gone somewhere, chick." he said. He looked to Xandria one more time. "Sorry about the misunderstandin'. Maybe ya people will listen to you cuz they obviously don't hear me." he said to her. "Fact stays that we have problem and it ain't gettin' solved with us bickerin'. I admit I ain't see nobody, but I don't see none of y'all with anything hardcore unless y'all holdin' out. So, what's good? Anyone got anything?" he asked.

He looked to Onyxia and spoke. "You know you ain't my girl like that. That's not what I meant." he said. "I gotta tell you this almost every time, bro." he said rubbing his eyes with his thumb and forefinger. He heard the common thread of the kidnapped and he brightened up a bit. "Now we gettin' somewhere." he said thinking. There's not enough to go off of, but it's a start.
He thought about how on edge people must be from friends being taken and decided to take a step back. "Alright. Peep. My bad, alright. I got a little harsh in a misunderstood situation. Just to clear up, we're sorry for whatever way we came at ya girl. Cool?" he asked trying to get past this situation.

As she watched from behind Rori, that both Rori and Joji were standing up for her against the two that confronted her on messing up she didn't want any hostility, she felt like the thugs were getting away and taking Lavender away further. As joji tried to calm Rori down and try to get the team together so they could go save Lavender, she then looked at the cloaked one who did apologize to her but Xandria still shivered a bit from the yelling first. She then watched Rori and the new person whos name was Adam. Xandria then went in between Rori and Adam as she was facing Rori and placed both of her hands to Rori's shoulder saying. "Stop it Rori! W...We don't have time for this! We need to go save Lavender!" Xandria said as she would look at Joji who was leading them away from the other two and go group up at the dorms to set up a plan. Xandria turned Rori around and started to push on her shoulders away from the two before it escalated, then Xandria stopped and looked towards the outer area of the dormitories as she squinted her eyes for a moment before taking out her rifle. As she looked down it's sights and saw that there were three newly formed paths which was odd, since she remembered not seeing them when entering the dorm buildings. Xandria then looked at Joji tugging at his shirt as she pointed towards the direction of the paths. "H...Hey I saw some paths over there, they're new as well I haven't seen them before. I think we should split up, us staying together while those two go down another path. In search of the captured students." Xandria then looked at the other two and heard that the cloaked person as she said that she wanted to help but Xandria shook her head and politely declined. "I'm sorry but we're looking for our other teammate, Lavender. But there are three paths over there, we will go down one path while you two can go down the other so we can search better. What do you think Joji? My drones can help us too." Xandria asked as she looked up at Joji, then she closed her eyes as her semblence activated. Three magic signs appeared around her as three robots popped out of them as they started to float around Xandria. Then each robot started to look at each and everyone that was there, then continued to float around her passively. Xandria then was able to hear from each robot node that floated around her waiting for her command, ready to protect or assist her in combat. Xandria then looked at Joji wondering if he wanted to go with her plan.
