Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I guess it would be more fun with the rest of the team here." Ike thought. By this time Celebi had given up and floated off out of the common room.

"Nope." Ike said simply, not giving too much of a hoot about it. His only concern over a possible match-up would be the potential disasters that follow co-worker relationships. He then realized by saying 'nope' to the question of Ginji 'stealing' Maddy, he had to clear that up. "No. No I've never felt any strong feelings for anyone here at Aqua. Besides, I'd rather not this place turn to a soap opera."
With that he stood up, realizing Celebi had floated off. Ike sighed as he said one last thing before calling it a night. "Maddy and I BOTH have not been ourselves over the past few months. I blame those trinkets we got from the three lake spirits after defeating Cyrus. They each contain a part of his mind and strive for a new host, whether that be Cyrus or someone else. The first chance we get... I'm destroying that medallion and that sword."

Adelle adjusted the bag on her shoulder as she walked through the doors of HQ, Meowth shadowing her every step.

"Hello? Anyone home," she called out, wondering if everyone was still asleep. She had been gone for so long, she was unsure if anyone would even remember her around here, which she was not exactly counting on. But, it was always time for her to meet new people, so whether there was anyone who knew her or not, she didn't really care in the slightest.

"Guess everyone is still asleep," she muttered, Meowth jumping on her shoulder as she dropped her bag next to the door as she kicked it shut with her foot.

"Yea, talk about nice! This is amazing," she said with a bright smile as she walked into the HQ, taking a seat in one of the comfy chairs facing the couch. It was nice to see that there were still people around, even if she had to wake them up for them to take notice of her. At least this place was still kicking. She leaned forwards extending her hand as he introduced himself, Meowth leaping off her shoulder and wedging herself in Adelle's lap.

"I'm Adelle. Everyone called me Adie though. So, whats been going on around here? Anything I should know about?" Leaning back in the chair she started absentmindedly stroking Meowth's fur as she slung her legs over the arm of the chair, as she always did, tossing her hair over her shoulder.

"Oh, of course! I wanted to come back then, but my parents insisted I stay at home for a little longer. Have we thought of a way to get back at Shadow? Seems to be we cant just let them take out one of our own. Not that I have any doubts that someone is thinking up something somewhere." Adelle smiled brightly, laughing softly to herself. She was speaking a lot, that was for sure. Maybe she should just shut up before she said something embarrassing, or stupid. The last thing she wanted to do was make a fool of herself on her first day back...

"Oh, HI," Adie said excitedly as she saw yet another person she had never met before. She knew this was bound to happen, considering how long she had been gone, but she had not expected them to both be boys right off the bat! Adelle liked boys...surely that was apparent by now.

Standing so she could make an introduction, Meowth quickly jumped from her lap, giving her a rather incredulous look before jumping back into the chair, curling up for a small cat nap. Meanwhile, Adelle approached the new character, extending her hand.

"Adelle, or Adie. Nice to meet you."

"Hey, I'm Ginji." he said kinda dully as he turned to Ike. "I really want to get some fresh air. Where do you have in mind?" he asked casually as he looked out the window at the ocean.
