Welcome to Gaia! ::

Noko glared at the door as it was slammed in her face. She hightly thought of walking off and turned to do so when the door opened again.
"Alright, lead the way" John said as noko continued to glare at him. " your lucky i didnt leave." she said turning around and walking back down the road twords the hotel. Fortunantly it wasnt to far from where they were. The minutes flew past and she grew a little less angry. particularly when his arm slid around her waist as they walked. Once up to the door she slid the card through the scanner and the door opened. Grinning she turned to john." after you sir" she teased

Noko squealed when she was lifted off her feet. Her face flushed a bright red and her heart beating fifty times faster than it was before. " we had fun. We started out shopping, met a new guy, found out about the house got hotel rooms. " She said stopping to think what came next." after some rest and dinner we got dressed and went to the club. Here wanna see pictures?" She said showing him the pictures on her digital camera. She hesitated showing him the one of her and obsidian not sure if he had actually seen it or not.

TNL sat on the grass on the left side of the gate, behind the pillar blocking him from the gaze of anybody not paying too much attention. He finished reading the e-mail from Greg, asking about how the institute was and if he had made any new friends and various other things of that sort. TNL shook his head and decided to write back later. Maybe when I actually go into the institute. After a moment of staring into the sky, his computer screen staring blank at him, he looked back down and manipulated the touch-mouse to a file and double clicked. A picture came up on the screen, a beautiful girl with light skin and midnight-dark hair. Her eyes glowed with familiar warmth that few new beyond he. Erin, you look better every time I see you. Lost in her eyes, he didn’t draw himself away for nearly five minutes, then closed his laptop and pulled out his CD player.

He fumbled in his duffle bag and pulled out a CD case, and placed the CD gingerly in the CD player. Gothic rock, how did I get into gothic rock. He knew the answer, of course: Erin. She was a complete goth, and yet entirely normal in his eyes. He pressed the play switch and leaned against his duffle, using it as a pillow. After a minute, he dozed off.

It wasn’t ten minutes later that he woke up, not overly tired after taken a long nap this afternoon. The CD was on his favorite song, and he smiled. Fully rested and bored, he stood up and hid the duffle bag, including all of his stuff, in the woods. It’ll be safe there for a while. Brushing off his clothes and hoping his hair was decent, he walked across the street and quickly climbed the pole holding up the power lines. Then, in an instant, he was a part of them, and speeding across the city. I really wish these things didn’t go underground in downtown, it makes it hard to find anything. He exited at the same construction area he had entered at earlier, and began wandering the town, looking for a good club. Eventually, he did find one club which was played his kind of music: the Dungeon. Ha, great name.

After looking around a bit, he found a metal cord that led into the building. “This should do,” he muttered to himself. TNL looked around a minute, making sure nobody was looking his way, then leaned on the cord, and was gone. He followed the cord through the building and found it entered into many of the rooms. All along, he enjoyed the rocking music. Then, he found the cord that went into the male bathroom. Perfect.

Once inside, he jumped out of the electricity cord, materializing next to the lights. Immediately he sniffed the air and found it rancid with smoke. “That is absolutely disgusting.”

“Where’d you come from?” a guy asked, surprise in his voice as he stared in TNL’s direction. There were four guys in there, all with rolled paper in their mouths that TNL doubted was anything legal. “You just jumped out of the lights!” he accused, astonished.

TNL closed his eyes. I really should be more careful about where I pop in and out. He walked casually over to the group of guys, and put his arm around the shoulder of the guy that accused him of the absurd notion (which happened to be true). “Look, I didn’t ‘jump out of the lights.’ That’s impossible and you know it.” The Texan then took the joint out of the guy’s mouth and dropped it to the floor, then stepped on it. “Maybe you’ve had too many of those things. They deteriorate brain cells.”

“Shithead, that was my first! I know what I saw. Now who’s gonna pay for that? You?” The guy slugged TNL’s arm off of him and then swung his fist at him. TNL rolled his shoulder and dodged, throwing his elbow into the man reflexively. The violent smoker doubled over and coughed.

“Sorry about that, man.” His friend standing to TNL’s left then gave a good right hook to his face, connecting to TNL’s nose. “Hell, that hurt.” He wiped away blood, but the guy swung his arm again. This time, TNL was ready to dodge and got out of the way of the uppercut, then connected his fist to the side of the guy’s head, knocking his head to the ground. The third guy was choking on his drugs by this time, although TNL wasn’t sure why. The fourth guy, however, had pulled out a gun. Oh no.

The armed punk raised the gun, hand trembling. “You don’t want to do that.” TNL took a step forward and started to alter the sound waves around him. At that instant, the gun shot, the bullet flying a good ways away from TNL and hitting the mirror, shattering it. None of this, however, made any noise. The music is loud, but they’d hear that. TNL jumped forward and grabbed the gun, then threw his knee into the guy. The punk stumbled backward into the bathroom stalls, making a good amount of racket as TNL hadn’t bothered to keep the sound silenced around him. However, the noise was no where near the volume of the music, so TNL didn’t need to worry. He took the gun and tried to dissemble it. How the hell do they do this in the movies so easily. After a moment, he found out how to unload it and flushed the bullets down the toilet and threw the gun in the trash receptacle. He waited in the bathroom a minute for his nose to stop bleeding. That must’ve been a pretty soft punch, the blood is clotting pretty quickly. When it stopped, he checked his hair, found it was fine, and walked out. Maybe not I can have some fun. God, I hate fights.

However, this was not his night. The room was so crowded that he could barely maneuver, and the air was filled with smog. “Well, the music’s not bad, at least,” he observed rather loudly, not that anybody could hear him. After a couple minutes moving with the crowd, he got irritated and tried to find a door out. This has been a great night, first I get in a fight, shot at, then suffocate in a huge room. Just then, his eye caught site of the balcony and a raven haired beauty standing there chatting. Maybe my luck will come around.

He walked over and pushed the doors open, and found the balcony much more pleasant than inside the dungeon. What an oddly fitting name. He walked over the girl and announced himself, louder than he needed to due to just getting away from the loud music. “Hey, the name’s TNL,” he greeted, reaching out his hand, “I saw you inside and just had to come out and meet you.”

Noko laughed at the picture" We sent that just to get a rise out of you guys. We never even kissed." She said with a smile. " she grinned kissing him again. Her mind swam for a moment before she showed him the type o negative pictures. She listend to him talk about the fight for a moment then the subject moved to Reese and Regina." Oh yes. Very well. VERY VERY well. " she said with a grin." He made a few passes at her. He about died when he saw her all dressed up for the club. Of course skin was showing so.." She smirked a bit" Guys drool over skin."

Regina raised a brow. "I don't believe you gave your name yet... but I'm Regina. this is Reese. I wish I had gone for comfort but I wasn't the one in charge of my dressing..."

She pulled the skirt down a little but it only helped to show more of her stomach and she didn't want to touch the tube top for fear of it just falling down all together. "Wish I was comfortable..." she muttered.

Regina blinked and couldn't stop the red that came to her cheeks. ~Two guys actually looking at me in one night. It's the clothes, gotta be...~

"Yeah, kinda does... What does it stand for, or do you not want to say?" she asked. "It's alright if not, I'm just curious..."

She wondered about this guy. His clothes weren't exactly preppy or anything really. It was his own style. She wished she were back in her own style of peasant tops and bell bottoms.

TNL laughed, use to the question. "It's my initials, it stands for Thunder 'n Lightning." He let that soak in a minute, then gave the true answer. "Naw, it's Tony Nathan Lucius." Well, she's definately nice enough, a bit shy, but I'm sure I'll get through that soon. "But it's a pleasure to meet you, Regina."
