Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lycoris, Azrael, and a young, dusky-skinned man who looked like Azrael were seated around a table.
Chryseis came inside, holding a crying Mocha in her arms.
"Marion, I took care of the ducks. Awfully nice of Moé to get some for us, since she had some extra time."
Chryseis was trying to calm Mocha down, and then saw Caleb.
"Oh! You're that teacher that dresses up like a plague doctor. I don't exactly remember you, but..."
[[She once saw him when she was seven years old.]]
Chryseis giggled.
"See, Mocha? Nothing to be scared of."
Mocha's nose crinkled.
"He smells funny."
"Mocha!"
Ankoku could be heard giggling.

Azrael saw Caleb, and, ever so oddly inviting, gestured to a seat next to a occupied-yet-vacant seat.
In a nearby room, there was the sound of glass exploding and things burning.
Chryseis put Mocha down, and, returning a few minutes later, was dragging a soot-drenched Salem behind her.
"But Ch-Chryseis! I was trying to find the fixed orbit of an arsenic electron...!"
"You'll implode the house!"
Salem sat down in the seat next to Caleb's designated seat, and his spine gave a loud crack.
"Owwww."

Azrael cleaned his teeth with a claw.
"So, stranger, why're you here? Scaring the flesh out of my daughter..."
He is a force to be reckoned with, regardless of my biased experiences with him. Try not to offend, just state your business...
Lycoris piped up.
"I'm huuuuungry. I'm eating for two again..."
Marion was heard.
"I'm trying to feed Lapel, since babyfood is different form regular food!"

The entire table was silent.
Azrael whistled.
"Awfully bold, aren't we?"
Chryseis pouted.
"Leave him alone, Dad."
"Moé's an awful lot like her grandmother Mahi. Mahi had a human boyfriend too..."
Salem sighed.
"Oh, come on! He obviously meets Fate's qualifications. Ann would've killed him by severing his thread, had she not approved. Don't treat him like a guinea pig."
Jikoku nodded.
"Not his fault that Moé lures in the guys. I'm amazed she isn't wanton, a figure like that."
I wish I could smack him!
Chryseis took out a moon-shaped pin made of moonstone, and placed it appropriately in the box, as did Salem with an eye-shaped pin made of iron.
Chryseis paused.
"The ability to compare your skills and your intelligence with other members of your family."
Jikoku sighed, and complied as well, producing a quartz pin etched into a demon's face.
"The right to kill for the goodwill of mankind and your family, yadda..."
Azrael scoffed.
"Morons. Who... are you, exactly? I won't submit my niece to you until you elaborate a bit more."

Azrael was befuddled.
"Eh? Your name, history..."
Lycoris paused, and then her eyebrows furrowed.
"He must be the one whose story was so saddening that it made the demons of Hell shed tears."
Salem, Chryseis, Jikoku, and even Mocha were all transfixed.
Azrael shivered.
"N-Nevermind, I want to enjoy my dinner. Here."
He handed Caleb a pin shaped like a wolf's head, made out of granite.
"There, the right to spar with members of your family for practice."
Lycoris squinted.
"I'm the last one at this location. Now, tell me; what do you think of Moé's looks?"

Lycoris was interested.
"Like what?"
Mocha interrupted her.
"You came form the same timeline, you ARE a plague doctor! EEEEEK!"
She ran upstairs.

Lycoris paused.
"I'm not sure if I'll regret this or not, but..."
She took out an opal pin with a bunch of hearts meshed together.
"The right to think lascivious thoughts."
O-Oh my. Well, I'm opening a portal outside that should lead to the chariot, where the four are. Those last three a-aren't really necessary...! I mean, sure, you get full induction into the family, but...

The sky was dark, but then gradually cleared to show a clearly moving sun across the sky.
Lucky!, Ann said. We can portal with no need of the serpent's help!
She possessed his body while the opportunity lasted, and dragged him into the portal, and they instantly warped to a large, elegant, moving platform.
Valentine was on a golden throne, with Reynard next to her. Montblanc and Lucy were on opposite sides of the platform, looking down at below.
This is the sun, for our world at least. Your world has a star as a sun.
