Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Sorry for not posting in here yesterday. I was busy. sweatdrop ))
Miku giggled as the dog took the leek, glad that it liked the offer she gave it snce she hadn't thought that giving it a spoon full of mousse was the best of ideas. Just then, Hatsune Miku remembered her desserts and dug into her mousse, savoring the taste of it. Of course, it was just then that she noticed the dog's owner and how Haku had caught his attention. She smiled brightly, happy for her white-haired friend. Even better, he was comforting her. Aww~! Maybe Hau would gain a boy friend in the strange man~! Not that Miku had much to talk about when it comes to calling ohers strange.

Honehime realized she had actually managed to land a hit on her instructor. Not a large one, but enough to at least partially drive the air out of her lungs. Impressive, at least to her. That moment of reflection cam with a heavy price, however. She was too slow in recognizing Echidna's attack, and far too slow to even try to maneuver out of the way. Caught around the waist, she tried to squirm out of Echidna's grasp, hoping the somewhat slippery qualities of the sap might make it a possible aid to wriggling to freedom. A moment later, however, she felt Echidna's hands trying to loop around her, using her own cuffs to help trap her. She frowned, and struggled harder to try to free herself. She knew that if Echidna wrapped her up in her coils, that the fight could very well be over in an instant.

Lieselotte was hot on Sakazuki's heels, emerging into the clearing at virtually the exact same moment. And just like Sakazuki, she looked around, expecting to see something truly macabre. Instead, it seemed relatively normal. There were a few changes, though. The appearance of another horned girl, this one a young ram apparently. The source of the meet was revealed to be a grill, an odd set up seemingly made from some white material. And Mei, the cow girl she had worried might have been led to the butcher, was standing there, still as busty and ditzy as ever, seemingly. She let out a long sigh and turned back to Sakazuki. "It would seem we were worrying over nozzing?" She took one more look around camp, trying to see if there were any other changes that might make a difference, or give a sign if there were any other new faces.

Mei only looked in curiosity at Shuku as the Mayonaka tried to explain just what Katsu had done, but ultimately gave up. She was so confused! She tried thinking about it, but she couldn't remember seeing Katsu do anything naughty. Of course, if she could remember the last session between the three of them, she might very well have a different answer. But as it was, she couldn't think of anything. The scent of the food returned her to the present, and she moved over to look hungrily at the well cooked meat and vegetables. When the absent trio finally returned to camp in a panic, Katsu was the first to react, leaping to stand between them and Mei, crouched low into a ready position to attack or defend, glaring at the intruders. It was a sneak attack! she had to protect her Mistress!

Zenia finally finished her warm up exercises. She felt better, the knots of tension in her back and shoulders had lightened up somewhat. She was still sore, but it wasn't anything serious, she could work through it. She had worked up a little bit of a sweat from her slow and precise movements, she needed to wash up. Heading into the washroom, she did just that. Once she emerged, she finally got dressed once more, slipping back into the plain but serviceable outfit she usually wore, finished with a black trenchcoat. Picking up her violin case, she prepared to get going. First, she took one last look around the room. Not out of fond memories or anything. No, she was making sure that she wasn't leaving any obvious signs that she had been there. She obviously couldn't remove all proof, but she would not make it easy for any potential stalkers.

Melona smiled, and suppressed a delighted giggle, at the near orchestra of sounds she was causing Menace to make. She continued her amorous fondling, varying exactly what she did, and how forcefully. She decided to be a little more aggressive since nobody seemed to be around, and slowly, her hand began to slide up and under Menace's skirt, now providing bare skin to skin contact, rather than through the flimsy barrier that was her skirt. As much as it sounded like fun, Melona wasn't planning on having another session of 'personal training' with Menace just yet; she was just having a little fun while accompanying the princess and seeing what they were going to do next. She assumed Menace still wanted actual training, but would they manage to find an instructor in the middle of the afternoon?

It seemed Alice's thoughts were mirroring Airi's. She, too, was thinking about how the presence of her weapons might have changed their earlier match. Overall, she thought the end result would very likely be the same. Using her weapons might have let her have a little more of an advantage, but Airi did have her scythe. That was a very useful weapon, and possibly even more versatile than her own weapons. After all, it seemed to be able to change it's shape, and even produce fire! That was nothing to dismiss as less than a threat! Yes, they would still have to have their eventual re-match, but the final result just might be one that neither of them were expecting... Alice began putting her things away while thinking this, to prepare for her first cooking lesson.

Haku froze up when the young stranger said her name. Had she sunk so low, that she was instantly recognizable whenever she was at the brink of crying? How pathetic, she was even more of a hopeless case than she thought she was! She shuddered slightly as she tried to hold back her tears, still clinging desperately to the happiness from before, trying her hardest not to give in and possibly spoil the fun time she and her friends had been having. When Neru came to her rescue, she felt a profound sense of relief and thankfulness, hoping that her fiery friend could pull some of the stranger's attention away from her. She definitely disliked being the center of attention, she disliked having any attention on her at all, save for her friends, or when she finally worked up the courage to sing with her friends.

V-13 tried to process what Pan told her, that this last exercise had been a success, and that she had scored very highly. Especially compared to her usual standard of competence. Or incompetence, rather. She lowered her gaze, and noticed the rag doll lying near her feet. She recognized it as the hostage for several obstacle courses, but what would it be doing here? She requested her memories once more, but still nothing. "Then does that mean that I actually took part in the last exercise? My memory banks are denying any access, so I cannot recall anything during that time." she was really beginning to get confused now. During the mysterious downtime she suffered, apparently her body had acted on it's own volition and enabled her to perform well? That didn't make sense. Even if something were to take remote control of her body, the numerous commands to the various systems and parts would be stored within her memory banks and usage archives. But there was no trace of tampering or control in either of those locations. No, there had to be something that had caused all of this, but what? If she could identify tha cause, then perhaps the source would be revealed, too.

Etheldreda flew into the clearing a brief moment after Sakazuki and Lieselotte had arrived, looking around, trying to identify any potential enemies. There were three women there, ages seemingly ranged from child to grown woman. None of them seemed to have any true magical talent, but that didn't mean they weren't a threat. It just meant she wasn't aware of their skills. And that could be even more dangerous than if they had possessed magical talent. Etheldreda hovered closer to Sakazuki, before quietly asking her if the others were friends or foes. She didn't think they were enemies, they weren't reacting like any sort of enemy would. But did that make them friends, or just acquaintances? It didn't seem like a fight was very likely to break out at all, but she was keeping ready, just in case.

Dizzy listened as Shouko began to explain some of the different ways to prepare mushrooms. As she did, she thought back to how she had eaten them, and realized that maybe the type she had eaten were just not meant to be eaten raw? If that was the only problem, then she really should give them another chance again sometime. Shouko wasn't sure if these mushrooms that she was interested in were alright to eat raw or not. Just to be sure, she would give them the benefit of the doubt, and not eat them raw. Not that there were too many options for preparing them out here in the woods. At the least, she could probably make a fire. She usually didn't, but every once in a while she did, for warmth or light if she had trouble sleeping. And now, cooking would be a third reason.

Once the Uchiha had left, Miku turned to Haku, grinning widely. "I don't think he meant to uset you, Haku Onee-chan! I think he liiiikes you~!" She put great emphasis on the word "likes" in order for her white haired friend to know what little Hatsune's thoughts were. After all, he had tried to comfort her friend when she was feeling insecure about talking to him and had even given her a beautiful white rose as an apology. What else could that mean? The mere thought excited Miku greatly, although, she had a feeling that Neru would automatically object or counter the notion and Haku would most likely go from being white to bright red in embarrassment.

James grinned. He got up, left Kyo and his jacket on the branch and got a Shuriken out. Then he opened his eyes with the Sharingan activated.

"You sure bout that?" he asked cockyly.

{total: 273}

James dashed at him and he threw the Shuriken at him. Then he shouted "Bunshin no Jutsu" making an identical clone they both dashed at Ryukosay with kunais in both their hands.

{305}

James dashed towards Ryu at high speed with his Sharingan activated. He pulled his right arm back.

"Raikiri" he whispered and his hand was full of chakra 'electricity'.

He looked for weak spots, and vulnerabilities. He then moved his arm forward as he came close a couple of feet and struck him.

{Total: 355}

James chuckled, and he got out a kunai. He stretched, and he examined his enviroment, he jumped into the trees and disappeared. He carefully looked for any new ways of attacking. He smiled remembering one.
