Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lea sighed as she walked through the park, looking down at her feet. The line had taken forever, and it seemed that everyone had decided to do their own thing. Her ears seemed to be drooping down more by the second, as it seemed the whole group was conversing with one another and ignoring her. They weren't trying to, and when they included her she gave a remark or two, but then they'd go back to their own discussions and conversations. She felt they didn't probably want her around.


Fortunatley Kairi managed to break the silence, and she gave a welcome smile to someone giving her attention. "Yeah. Me and my brother live not far from here, down in the complexes where we met Super and all the other guys." She said, pointing her thumb behind her. "So how are you enjoying the city so far?" She asked, not really sure if the question had been asked so far.

Moonshock found herself staring at her hands for a bit after the creature faded from her hands. Staring for a bit more, she gave a bit of a growl as she heard the cry come from downstairs. Quickly leaping to her feet, Moonshock dashes out the room and headed downstairs towards the living room.
"What happened?!" Moonshock asked as she turned to her brother. "Where's Mia?"
"Mia? Was that the name of the hedgehog that you brought home?" Moonshot asked. Not a single drop of concern could be heard on his voice as he spoke. "Some strange shadow creature attacked her and they both vanished--I don't know where they vanished to...nor do I care frankly."
Letting out a growl, Moonshock turned and ran towards the door, only to have her brother grab onto her wrist.
"Where do you think you're going?" he asked.
"To find and help Mia." Moonshock replied.
"Why? You hardly know that girl, she's just some pointless hedgehog you found on the streets." he said harshly, making Mia seem more like an animal than anything else. "Besides, I thought you told me that you didn't care about anyone else but family."
"I don't but..." Moonshock said, before growling and ripping her hand free from her brother's grasp.
"But what? Hmm...sister?"
Moonshock stood there silently as she attempted to find a reason for why she wanted to help Mia.
"It's not about Mia--its about getting that monster back for attacking me first!" she snapped at him loudly and quickly ran out the door before Moonshot had any chance of stopping her again.

Lea watched for a moment, Sickle's continual moving about from once side of the group to the other, his tail wagging about like a little pup. She couldn't help but smile warmly at the sight, it was fairly cute to see him enjoying himself.

((You and I are the only ones affected by it, Kenji))

((You aren't the only one...))

Sickle took a moment to stop and turn back to everyone. "Can't we continue swapping life stories on the way to the rides?" He wiggled in place, really wanting to go to the fast zooming machine that made a racket overhead as it rocketed by. He almost chased it, before thinking better of it. "What's the point of going here if we're just gonna stand and talk? Let's go go go!" He said, before running behind Lea and Kairi, beginning to push the poor girls toward the nearest attraction.

"Haden's fine! See, he's right behind us." Sickle said, without looking back. He expected the arctic fo to e trailing them because the wolf so abruptness stole both girls away, and from their discussion, he seemed rather fond and protective over the lemming. It was only natural to keep on eye on her, and to not let her be taken alone by a hyperactive wolf. As they neared the Tilt-a-whirl, the girls soon found out that wasn't Sickle's destination. They passed it as fast as they came upon it. Not twenty feet away, however, seemed to be the entrance to what looked like the biggest rollercoster in the park. One of the cars screamed overhead, as what looked like rocket jets propelled the car ever forward. From their viewpoint, it seemed like seven cars were on it at once, each seating well over 20 people. The line was rather low because of it, and before anyone knew any better, they were next in line. Haden with Kairi, and Sickle with Lea.

Sickle was pretty comfortable where he was. Lea clinging unto him didn't faze him a bit, as the wolf had, for some reason, had people latching unto him at one point or another. Sometimes it was for very different reasons, such as to drag the wolf into an exploding reactor, or like with Lea, which was for dear life. The last occurrence, the wolf thought, was when he was leading a hostage away from said exploding reactor. As the machine jettisoned to life, the coaster started moving slowly out of the dock, before making a dramatic right turn and immediately started to slowly climb a large incline. Sickle looked back, having instinctively stolen the front seat from Kairi, and gave Kairi and Haden a quick thumbs up. A first indication that there must be something wrong with the wolf - he had completely foregone the safety procedures, or more likely, forcefully moved it off him. Lea was still strapped safely in, however, but she didn't look any more comfortable. As it reached it's peak, the wolf took a moment to stand up, in full view of everyone in the cart, and bowed gracefully towards all those behind him. Turning back towards the front, the wolf looked down at the gigantic hill before him. Letting out a wild howl, the cart let loose and rocketed down the incline, Sickle barely having a moment to sit down to avoid flying off.
