Welcome to Gaia! ::

[[Louis : The Black Pearl : Below Deck]]

"Arrogant," Louis thought, the one word he could think of to describe the replica's attitude, "A word of advice from your elder... your bloated confidence will come back to bite you if you're not careful."

Louis leaned against the hull of the ship, closing his eyes and focusing on the back of his mind. A second later he formed a simple black space, one where an apparition of himself and and that of Ajora were forced into. To the outside world, Louis would appear to be in deep thought of resting.

Resting his hand on his hip, Louis looked at Ajora with slight irritation, "Listen Ajora, let me make this clear before you make things more difficult for both of us than this needs to be. You are here, because I'm allowing you to be. As it stands, this... parasitic symbiosis is a double edged sword. It has benefits for both parties. Both of us, have the ability to track the other now without use of any other spell. You, like anyone who uses this form of magic can track the location of your seal. I, being skilled in similar magic can follow the trail of darkness right back to the source. Second, we have the ability to communicate without any other medium, trinity charm or otherwise. This is beneficial since if it's true our goals are the same, we can communicate and maybe even coordinate our actions if need be."

Louis chuckled at the word coordinate, finding the concept funny. When he opened his eyes and looked back at Ajora, he'd notice in Louis' eyes, this was not the same person he'd seen in person before on the Flying Dutchman. Louis paused at this point in the conversation to let Ajora speak if he wanted to, but it was clear by the look on his face, Louis wasn't finished.

[ Ajora : ??? ]

"Actually, so long as Mateus is sealed away, you're pretty much screwed on the whole 'trailing it back' front," Ajora said, absolutely and completely uncaring about Louis' personality 'transition', if you could really call it that. He thrust his pinky into his ear, as if to dig out some wax, despite the fact that he was nothing more than a mental specter. "You're simply not on the same level. Pointless, really, but hey, to each his own."

"Actually, if you want to know where I am, you could just ask. I'm in Hawaii, sun-bathing," he said, shrugging. Suddenly, Ajora appeared in his black-and-white swimsuit, shirtless and barefoot, identical to his appearance on the other side. "The other kids are here to. Nicholas plans to join me pretty soon."

[[Louis : The Black Pearl : Below Deck]]

Louis waved his hand as if to blow off Ajora's comments of power, and even laughed at his comment on Nick, "Oh please... what that idiot does is of no concern to me. If he wants to go fall off a cliff, as long as it doesn't interfere with my plans here, I could care less."

Louis strolled forward, stopping shoulder to shoulder with Ajora, turning his head to look him in the eye, "Avoiding the details of how easy it would be for me to simply remove the seal, and just how wrong you are that you think I can't trace you, since no one likes a my horse is bigger than your horse competition, I'll skip to the part that matters. First, keep your hands to yourself, mainly, stay out of my mind if you know what's best for you. That means when I'm busy around the others, don't bother me. And no sifting through places your shouldn't, I promise you, you WILL regret that."

Louis continued with a grin, "Second, on a lighter note, now that I can speak to you you directly in a sense and we're not fighting inside Dawn, I'd like to propose a deal, a truce or alliance of sorts that may make both of our lives a hell of a lot simpler. Interested?"

[Kyla: Hawaii: Offshore>On Lotus]

(( sorry for not replying fast enough, it’s like everyone is DETERMINED to keep me busy or sick..this sucks))

It was hard trying to keep track of the conversation with her own thoughts buzzing in her head and trying to keep a conversation going with Kyle on the other team side. Eventually when enough people spoke up and cross hairs with their opinions she replied it across the link to Kyle.

‘Currently he’s lounging and playing the role of a beach buddy on holiday, he’s admitted his exposure ot danger if he stood alone against us, and that alone is enough to give us the creeps. If the enemy isn’t bothered their outnumbered and outmatched with such ease… they have a plan. But the issue is there isn’t enough information to confirm is this plan is set to snap- or it’s already in motion.’

She didn’t like this, being separated from the others. It was creating a window of opportunity she had no doubt the replicas were using to their every advantage. Charms aside, they were still barred from each other in more important ways.


‘ He’s just taken off- to the village I think. Seems like that’s the direction he’s taken. Jon is over there. Azreal has also got a back up arsenal scattered along the beach… or, beneath it perhaps. Snakes. It would be sticky but I think we can handle that- but like Ajora he’s not interested in fighting, they simply his entourage in case we ruin his day off. I think... it could be my imagination, but the body language he’s got going. It’s like his making a sales pitch.’

Kyla’s brow creased as she looked back towards the beach from her distant vantage point tot he space Kyle replica once occupied.

She didn’t know everyone on this side quest to know their true nature yet. The way Ajora was acting... it reminded her of the times when Cory would play cute to win people over to this little team. Could he be fishing for friends? Seriously? But if he was, who?

She didn't like this anymore and decided to head back to the shore. She stood up only for a moment before diving off into the water and started swimming back.

[Joe: Caribbean: Below Deck]

The male looked at Kyle, eyes slightly closed as if skeptical. A small heat could probably be seen, too, at the idea of a seal that might do something to his body he didn't like. But...that faded away quickly enough, nodding as he stood up straight, arms still crossed.

"Trust you." All he said, because he felt it was all that was needed to be said.

{Bobbi .:. Hawaii .:. Beach}

"Eep!"

Bobbi was so startled by Ajora's voice in her head that not only did she emit a completely undignified squeak (both aloud and unintentionally over the charms), she also lost control of her ice magic and accidentally exploded the ice-and-sand castle she and Kyle were working on. Sand and grains of ice flew for a few feet in several directions and splattered herself and Kyle in the process.

[Azrael: Hawaii: Beach]

Az sighed, leaning back on the rock with his hands behind his head, body fully stretched out. Really, they were all f***ing loud. And he was here first, he shouldn't have to leave to get some damn quiet. But, he didn't really want to fight. He wanted to relax...dammit!

"You play your little kiddie game, Ajora. I'm going to relax more."

[?: Lugae's Lab]

He was curled up in the corner, golden fur rising and falling slowly as it rested on flesh and muscle that moved with each breath, each sniff of the air. Amber eyes watching as his tail swished back and forth.

Nothing would get by this beast without a fight, and definitely not without it's innards hanging out of claw marks.
