Welcome to Gaia! ::

-Mimi blinked a bit and simply nodded, still refusing to climb down from his back. That was Mimi for you, inheritaly a kitty and totally lazy at times. There was no way she'd walk just now. For some reason, she felt drained.- Sounds like the Pride, if you ask me.

-Indeed it was true. The look she sported now was basically what Daisuke wanted-- and she'd fought him at every turn. The end product had been an extremely toned down wardrobe but still very 'off the wall' in comparison to ther old t-shirts and jeans.

High on her perch, the little kit couldn't help but me mischievous either. As she clung on and got more comfortable, she gave him a soft peck on the cheek before proceeding to nibble at his ear. Consider it vengeance for what he'd done to her a while back. Tsk. Tsk. Somethings did change after all.- but you're right.. shopping it is... I wonder if we can get Cherry to come along with is. She seems to know Durem like the back of her hand...

{I'm replying to Neit's post awhile back. You guys post soooo much! That's like so awesome! But confusing for my feeble mind...}

Cherry blinked at the fox merchant. Before she could answer, a half a dozen events had unfolded, leaving the poor, already exhausted quite at her wits' end. She frowned at Mimi's reaction to her flowers. It wasn't as if the decorations were overly gaudy--just an array of color. If there was one thing she had an eye for, it was "cuteness" and "pretty things." Then again, as compared to the earlier decor...the change was astounding. But if they all wanted a real "cheerful shock," they'd have to see her room....

While she stood trying to comprehend what was happening around her, it seemed that the lobby had filled...and then emptied... Odd. People always seemed to be moving around the Hyde. She really couldn't complain, being a major contributer to all this movement to begin with... That was the thing about Cherry; she recovered quickly. In fact, by the time she'd finished blinking, it seemed her normal--if you could call it that--hyperactivity had returned.

"Pink?" She repeated. "Oh my gosh! I just love pink!" No surprise there. "Ok, ok! What've you got?"

Leave it to Cherry to fall directly into a trap. She was what the French call "une bonne poire." But who cares about naivety when you're having fun?

Her mahogany eyes sparkled almost star-like, and she clapped her hands excitedly. "Oh, I'm Cherry, by the way! Cherry Amour! Nice to meet you!"

Zandar watched slightly apprehensively and slowly stepped away in shock. "thats like my pack... except a lot bigger..." a small pocket fell open and a 5-foot-long staff and many other large things, including a large, black rock. Zandar's pack was probably smaller, had less stuff, and was lighter, but for goodness sake! there was a large rock in his pack! Zandar quickly knelt down and quickly stuffed everything back into the pack.

It wasn't really a normal rock, though. It was quite enchanted, the one who held it could unseal a power that Zandar hadn't yet fully understood how to use yet, however he had managed hw to use it to create powerful barriers and manipulate pure energy. It could be called his greatest achievement, for it was created through a combination of a spell, purpose, accident, and a bit of luck. Despite being its creator, he still hadn't managed the use of its full power.

(fricking crap that sucked.)

Eventually, Hakan had to nudge her a little bit with his elbow. It was all he could do, unlike Mimi he didn't have a tail, and his hands were being used to hold her up, thus the only effective thing to nudge her with was his elbow. He'd surely lose his balence if he tried to nudge her with his foot, and not only that but he'd probably end up nudging her rear end, which wouldn't be good for the situation.

Turning his head, he would face her half way still wearing that dull expression on his face. "..I'm not a horse you know." Honestly, 'onward ho!' What did she take him for?! Her loyal steed!? ..Well, despite that Hakan began to walk on, careful to make the ride extra bumpy for the female lycanthrope on his back. If he was going to be her horse, he was going to be a damn wild one!

On down the stairs, he was met with the sight of Baza and Cherry, and even a few others. My, my.. It was refreshing to see the lobby so full of life, wasn't it? During his second stay at Jekyll de Hyde, he took note of how dead it once was. Not anymore, mind you! Despite the hyperactivity, it was still nice.

However.. As he walked, something came to mind. "....Cherry, Eliza, Kyaroru-chan.." He began to mumble to himself. Due to his year alone, he became used to having no one listening to him, there for his thoughts were projected verbally most of the time. ""I'm going to be the only male there!" He would give a small sob as he hung his head. ..It was not a healthy situation.

The pink, the pink! It hurt, seeing so much pink. As he felt the weight on him decrease, he turned around to look at Mimi, who had began to wander away already with the excuse that she was going to look for Eliza. Now, there was no way in hell that Mimi was going to leave him in a room full of pink, especially with that fox guy, goddamnit!

"Chuh.." He would stutter slightly. The pink, he felt like his head was going to implode, thus he had to hurry and get out of there! "Cherry's busy, so I'll help you look!" He would state as he ran off to catch up with her, although it was a short distance.

Once he caughy up, he went right by her in the direction of the.. Where was Eliza again? He couldn't remember, although he could have sworn he saw her earlier going into the elevator. "Ah, that's right, she went in search of a werewolf!" Like it was no big deal. Hakan turned around slightly and took off back up the stairs and towards the elevator.

"He's staying here..?" He would look a Mimi with a bit of a dumbfounded expression on his face. ..Quite impressed, Hakan actually was. She had more self control than he did, for he would have given the wolf the boot if he were in her position. However, he shrugged it off and began to continue up the stairs, only to pause mid-step at the sound of crashing. ..And more crashing. Even more crashing was it?

A bit of a worried expression would come over his face as he became worried about Eliza. He was one of the few people he saw eye to eye with, another important person to him in fact, and he was not about to let some werewolf murder her! ..Little did he know, the woman was just drunk. Not tipsy, drunk.

Thus, he rushed off towards the elevator, calling back to Mimi while waving over his shoulder. "Hurry up, it sounds like she's in trouble!" From that point, he began to hit the elevator button again, and again, and agan.. And again.

Cherry's eyes sparkled...visibly. It was an odd talent the girl had. "Pretty! Teehee!" she chirped. The simple one-word and giggle response summed up her feelings entirely.

She sifted through the pile of pink, giggling all the while. Exactly what was so funny remained a mystery; suffice to say, it was a Cherry thing. She waved a hand behind her, shutting her eyes for a split second as she sent for her purse. The heart-shaped, sparkly thing came bounding down the stairs and into the girl's outstretched hands.

Now there was only the matter of what to buy! Everyone--most notably her own sister--accused her of being a bit...gullible. Well, is she was going to waste her money, anyway, why not buy pretty things?

She clapped her hands excitedly in her hyperactive way. "Ok, ok! What should I buy?" she asked enthusiastically. The question seemed posed to the world in general.

If there was one thing Cherry consistently was, it was a good shopper. While every other trait of the hyperactive creature was subject to change, that one staple piece always remained. She was gullible, ditzy, and overall careless, but she could shop. Whether that was a good talent or a simple compensation for lack of sense is a mystery.

However, the fact remained that Cherry would not buy a thing unless she wanted it. She looked up at the dress Baza held. She gave it a sidelong glance, stuck out her tongue, and shook her head.

"That? No way! It's tacky! Looks like this Halloween costume I had when I was little..." she chirped with a furrowed brow. "Halloween's my birthday, so I wore the dress all day. But my sister made fun of me sooo much!" She pouted just recalling the memory.

Extravagance wasn't exactly Cherry's forte. She much preferred cute things. Take Waffles as an example. In fact, the girl was staring pointedly at the bear at just that moment. In a completely childish display, her next question was directed toward the plush creature, "What do you think, Waffles?"

Of course, after a moment, she gave up on waiting for an answer and began rummaging through the pile of pink once more. "There's just so much stuff!"
