Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I never really liked that song... it is perverted. xD I won't be here tomorrow, or most of the next day. I got stuff to do, and a date with my boyfriend. :3 *poof*))

((The song's actually anti-porn. -o- Just like how byob's anti war.))

Anna tilted her head, placing her hands in her lap.
"Why don't we go in the order we joined? That's what we've been doing so far."
Brig shrugged, then glanced over to Snipe. "Then it's your turn scrawny."
Snipe scratched the back of his head, tightening the headband he wore at all times, it was kinda like Duri's hat.
"Huh, alright then.. Well, I was apart of the assassin corps, if you don't quite know what that is then I'll explain it to ya." He nodded towards Aleta and Rafeal, "The assassin's corps are basically who handle covert operations, they take out anyone who steps out of line, any revenge missions, basically if someone was left alive the corps will come after you, or the people who recieved the mission to do that. They basically go by the code; no love, no mistakes, no questions, no-one left alive. Anyone who breaks this code within the corps will be executed. If they find out someone's looking for revenge, they kill both parties involved. So, I recieve a mission to go murder some family in east Lida. So, I do it. I go down to the district by rooftop and drop down onto some garage. I creep around the place, and soon I hear some girl crying. I get inside through a window in the upper floor, seeing it was dully lit, I creep around the shadows which was really hard, considering the wood floor seemed to be rotting, I freeze to look down at the lower floor through a hole. Down there I see a crying girl, about my age, huddled up against a car. I glance at the picture I was given and step back slowly, I end up kicking a diary slightly, I got a little curious and open it, inside were all sorts of pictures of machines and what not, but when I got far enough in the book I learn that the girl's been raped by her father, and beaten relentlessly by her mother for some reason that I forget.. So, the point is this is the familly I was sent to kill, I was told that they were some rich family in Lida, and they kept their daughter a secret. I get this sense of being the good guy for once and head for the mansion on the west side of the city. On the way there I get a call on my headset and learn that some group called the gunmetal mercenaries took up the mission created by the girl to kill her parents. They then ask me if I murdered the child and I say yeah, I didn't really want someone to die suffering for something that her own parents did to her, but what I didn't know, is that they had sent a tracker after my trail, to make sure that the target is dead. If she's not then the tracker kills the target, and then kills the person given the mission in the first place. I don't know what happens next but I think the gunmetals killed the seeker but not before he could relay the failure message. So a bunch of assassins are on my tail, and I'm not gonna go down before I kill those guys or else the girl's just gonna get sent after again. Below me on the street there's five guys in a car, headed to the mansion which is a little further. They beat me there, one of them spots me and tells the others. By this time Duriono was the boss, he divided up the team, and I just have to fight Brig and Key. I just think I can out manuver them but the kid tells Brig what I'm going to do, he quickly tears down the fence, which alerts the guards and sets the mansion on lockdown. Key starts freaking out about tearing down the fence like that and while they're argueing assassins show up around them, while they're busy with them I dash inside through a hole in the wall where Brig hurlled the fence. So, inside its just Bishop, Mary and Boss. I think about taking them out to turn off the alert, but I go against that and instead expose myself. They instantly attack, and after a short fight they pin me down Bishop stepping on my chest and points at me with his gunblade, thats when I tell them about the girl's life and what not, and why the assassins are here. They let me go and charge to the roof, on the way there they get pinned down by a sentry gun. Mary leans out to snipe at its box but has to pull back behind the wall before she can get a shot off, I take the lead and toss out a flash grenade. I'm stupidly blinded by it as well, but nontheless I make it around and take it out with a knife. Then we all head to the bedroom to finish the mission. The guy turns out to have this elite guard infront of the room, so I work up this plan to sneak around them and into the room through the washroom in the same hallway. They run out infront of them, hurling out a grenade and using the debris as cover. Then I slide through unseen, into the washroom open an airvent and creep inside too the bed room. I made shortwork of the man and woman, and then kill the guards from behind, after that, I leave the scene and stand atop a rooftop, waiting to be killed.
Before the assassins find me the mercenaries track me down. After a short speach from Duri, he holds his hand out with that dumb grin of his, I shake his hand and join the gunmetal mercenaries." Snipe leanned back in his seat, similar in fashon to what the other mercenaries did when they had finished their stories.
"Alright, myturn." Anna nodded, hands on her lap as she sat upright. "Well, let me start off by telling you that the girl in Snipe's story was me.. I put in that mission, but please don't hate me for wanting my own parents dead. I tried everything, which was next to none.. I didn't really exist, the only people who knew about me were my parents, the guards, Sky and the assassin's corps. I didn't have any friends other than the machines that I was around whenever they sent me away to that old rundown garage.. So, I didn't really have anyother choice other than kill myself.. Anyway, I was packing up my things to go look for a new home. I went up into the attic for my diary, when I get up there its tossed over to me, well rather kicked. I freeze for a moment, and look around. I wasn't afraid of many things, so I ask 'hello? Is someone there?' and a boy in the shadows steps out into the light, he says something like 'hey, your all alone now, where are you gonna go?' he stares me straight in the face and I say 'I'm not sure, I wanna stay in this beautiful city.. But I'm not sure anyone will let me in after word gets out..' then he puts his hand on my shoulder, voices are heard from downstairs. He says 'they're waiting for us. C'mon, you can come home with us.' He takes my hand, we run down stairs and thats how I joined the gunmetal mercenaries." She nodded. "Now one of you two go." She pointed at Rafeal and Aleta, then Snipe leans over to Anna, they kiss gently and pull away.

((ever since you told me they broke up I've been obseessed with soad =_= I like @#$% the system, but mostly for the music, not the song itself. well, its fine until they keep repeating @#$% the system! I like it better when you actually have to figure something out.))

The mercenaries all reacted in different ways. Anna looked a little sad after hearing the story, she soon looked up and smiled thinly. Mary looked indifferent, she wasn't really moved at all by this. She hadn't had any parents anyway, but one would think she'd feel something because she was a sort of foster parent.
Brig seemed like he wanted to do something to help, he has always wanted to help, ever since Duriono helped him. Bishop was leanned forward, one hand on the left side of his face, he began wondering if mercenaries were any better than the people who took Aleta's family away. Snipe had a similar reaction. And Key was thinking about what had happened because of it.
"So, lets here your half of the story". Bishop requested, looking at Rafeal.

((#$%@ Yesh! >D
I'm scared to death of carnival rides other than the giant wheel thingy.. So, how'd it go?))

Anna brought her hands together and up to her chest.
"Thats so beautiful! Like a real life romeo and juliet! True love overcomes all!" She shook lightly, her cheeks filled with blood, this happened when ever something sweet happened around Mary. She basically went fan-girling all over the place. "Oh Snipe hold me!" She threw herself at him, knocking them both out of their seats.
"you could've given me a heads up you know.." He grumbled,
"I did! You just weren't listening to me!" She scolded, getting off of him.

((This ride is fun. For us anyway. To someone with motion sickness, clausterphobia or fear of hieghts, it would be tourture. Those seats move, and rotate so you're totally upside-down, then fling you forward, and back again. We rode it like 6 times. Someone wrote, "Hey sexy beast" on one of the seats we sat in... now I'm gonna call him that every time I see him. xD ))

((I laughed my a** off... and yelled. I don't scream, I yell stuff and laugh, and occaisonally give a free science lesson on physics and related topics. :3 "See, when we go down, we're experienceing positive Gs, a multiple of the force of gravity, when we go up, we experience negative g forces, less than the force of gravity." I have a G-force meter laying around somewhere... I made it in 7th grade when we went on a trip to the amusement park. I could've used it today...
Falling... I want to go skydiving before I die. :3))

Aleta observed Mary. They could be good friends.

((I don't know what to write right now... to un-focused. *gets into character*))

((I just found it in my room... I knew exactly where it was to. :/ Actually, its not that awesome, its really simple. A clear plastic box, a paper sheet marked with 1, 2,3,4 negative 0, 1,2,3,4 positive, a wire, some glue, and one of those lead wieghts used for fishing.))

"Heh... I think I threatened you like that once." Aleta said, "Way back when..."

"I think you did..." Rafeal smiled, and kissed her cheek.

"Now I don't care if you do that... I like it." she returned his kiss, and snuggled closer to him. The sun was down, the air was getting colder, but it was still warm near the fire.

((Yeah, where did she go?
I feel so wierd right now... I still feel like I stepped off one of those rides, but with the added 'high' effect you get when you're in love.... adrenelin meets hormones?))

Aleta watched Duri hit the road, "You know what? I've never seen Duri really get his a** kicked... this could be interesting." She sat up, and watched Bishiop and Duri in what looked like will become a rather pointless fight.

((I AM GIONG TO KILL THAT FREAKING SONG. stressed Some freaking Katy Perry song... some "California Girls" or whatever. It annoys the crap out of me... and for the record, she can't sing live. :/ My sister is listening to it.))
