Welcome to Gaia! ::

L.J. happily followed after her to the stram, and blushed when she mentioned that he was avoiding her. "Why? Uh..." He paused, knowing why he had been avoiding her. He was only doing it to protect people. If he was tying to be with her all the time, then it would make it so that he would only protect her when danger came. He needed to be able to protect the others, that and the fact that he thought she didn't have the same feelings. "... well, damn, I guess I'll just say it..." Pausing, he took a deep breath. "I really like you, like seriously, and I had been getting the feeling that you didn't feel the same way, so I thought I should back off. Also, I figured that if I was trying to be with you all the time, then I wouldn't be able to protect everyone else when the time came for war." Taking in another deep breath, he continued. "You didn't do anything wrong, don't apologize... this is all my fault, so you don't worry about anything." He mentally slapped himself, for fear that he said too much.

Each of them cleaned up and put their stuff over by the tree. Jagger smoke his last cig. Winter sat down by Jagger's feet, dwindling her thumbs. Nikki came up the hill sporting new clothes and strait flatten hair. " Well when you guys are ready to go so are we" She said then started to lean on a tree, her hands on her knees.

Asmodeus hurriedly wiped away her tears and smiled back, convincingly. "Oh, I'm fine. It's nothing to worry about...." She ran her fingers through her hair. "You guys are pretty close, huh?" She smiled lightly at Vallie. "I look at you guys and see how life used to be, before the Inked started appearing...Well, minus the guns and stuff." She chuckled softly.

Kevin walked through the area, searching for anyone who was on the run from the voding people. He had almost been caught about, lets see, seven times. Somehow he ahd always manged to get away, but he didn't think it was luck. He thought it was god on their side, not the coding side. He was almost to Canda, he only had a little more ways, but anything could happen, right?

(Hey, everyone)

(welcome)

Nicolas had devoted his time to hunting finding something with meat to hunt, he had seen a rabbit, but it had scurried off before he could put a bullet in it.

He had began to track a set of footsteps as he came to a thicker wooded area, he heard footsteps approaching and jumped to a branch climbing up a tree into the foliage out of view. He set the stock of the silenced rifle to his shoulder and watched as a guy walked along beneath him.
As rabbit scampered a foot in front of him, Nicolas saw the chance of food and took the shot, the rabbit fell dead in front of the guy's feet red staining it's neck.

This guy can't be military.. better not chance it though.
Nicolas steadied his aim on the man's forehead. His voice came from above in the leaved branched trees surrounding the guy.

"Next shot's in your head if you touch my breakfast."

"He hasn't been gone too long, anyways how hes equiped Nic could take 'em by himself." She laughed and smiled wide to Asmodues.
"Gen, are you okay? You've seemed a bit down lately... And I want to make sure you're feeling allright" Valentines smile softened.

{I might be off all lot more the next few days... Umm... Boy problems, so I'm alittle down...}

((D: Girl, I know exactly how you feel...I HATE boy problems, whether it's the friend type or the boyfriend type or the fan boy type....Expecially the last two.))

Asmodeus's eyes widened as she heard Vallie use her real name. Well, abbreviation, but still. "I-I'm alright..." She said quietly. "It's just...I keep remembering what happened the last time I teamed up with people who were against the tattoo....I couldn't protect them...It was my fault we lost...And the sad part is, I used to think I was over it....But now, it feels like those events just happened yesterday....." Her eyes clouded over and she tried to blink the tears away before they could fall. "I know that it's different now, that we might have a chance at winning, but it doesn't help dull the hurt...." She whispered.

Nicolas dropped from his perch and landed on his feet, the shortened Winchester in his hands trained squarely on the newcomer.

"I'm a guy with a gun pointed at your head, nothing else much should concern you. Now if you don't quiet down I'll use the silencer at the end of this barrel to shut you up. With the current situation, I think it makes more sense for you to be answering the questions I ask instead of asking them. Got it? First question, who are you and are you alone here?"
