Welcome to Gaia! ::

(::peeks in after getting home from bowling:: Hello is anyone here. . ? Oh hey look biscuits. ::Goes over and begins to nibble on one:: Yum!)

Snow was falling softly outside the Orion, adding to the already thick layer covering the Canadian country-side. About two miles away to the north, beyond the thick woods surrounding the club, Jade stood in a small clearing within the trees, seemingly alone in the silence of winter. The birds were all asleep as the Saiya-jin stood in the deep snow, her pants already soaked nearly up to her knees. Her outfit was simple, only her gold locket, long gloves and a black T-shirt.

She took in a deep breath and let it out, lifting her hands to her sides a little, her tail wrapped around her waist. Then, all of a sudden she begain raising her power rapidly. Her short black hair flew around wildly as her green aura formed and raged. The snow she was standing in either melted or was blow away from her in a wave, pelting the nearby trees.

With a slight grunt, Jade pushed her power further, her hair turning from ebony to a golden blond, like a beacon in the darkness of the forest. Her aura changed as well as she held the Super Saiya-jin state, slowly lowering her power level down to the minimun to maintain this stage.

She let out another breath, relaxing her stance a little as her aura slowly faded back to nothing, leaving her with blond hair standing in the middle of a green patch of grass with about 2 feet of snow on either side.

One monkey, two monkey, out in the snow. Who knew how the night would go. Keno humored himself as he sat high in an oak branch, about half a mile away. His aura wasn't being put out at all, so the only way for either of those two to know he was around would be to see him, or for him to flag them down. He wasn't exactly in the social mood. Besides it seemed Jade was training, and as much as he might like to match fists with her, he figured it might be in her best interest to go solo for the evening.

The day had been long and taxing on him. Three women now were growing ever closer to him outside the Orion walls. He like it, yes, but he didn't want any misconceptions to develop. He could only love them as sisters at best, nothing more. Best friends maybe, confidants, companions, playmates. He only had one lover and he would stick by her come what may. The thoughts died in his mind as he shifted his focus back on the married monkey and tank top tomboy. If he wanted to speak, they were less than a second away.

(right my bad)

::Taken aback by her sudden greeting then leaving Unks shrugged and then felt the bitter cold on his bare arms. Maybe a cup of tea or hot chocolate would do his blood some good. Not wanting to stand in the cold anylong he simply put his fingers on his head thought of Jade's energy cause she was already in the club used the instantanious movement trick.

He went behind the bar to put water in a kettle to let it boil for his Chocolate and her tea if she wished to join him. It has been a while since he really interacted with anyone of the club since his and Epithany's wedding. It was kinda sad really. He looked over her at::

"Not that I am following you or anything, but I put water on to boil if you care to join me."

(And I'm the married monkey. . .Kinda intresting to say the least. Thanks Keno. . .lol)

(it is quite alright Keno. It put a smile on my face and gave me a good laugh. That makes it ok.)

((....the stove is in the kitchen, not the bar. > >))

Jade looked up to see Unks just arriving out of no where in the kitchen, right where she was headed. She slowed her pace down to a walk now, brushing the last of any snow off of her shirt and kicking it off her boots, before taking them off and pickign the weighted footwear up so as not to track too much water around. Her pants were soaked up to the knee though.

Her green eyes turned slightly as she walked, catching the figure in red over by the bar with a few bottles empty around him. Taliman usually didn't drink that much, but Jade wasn't about to go and ask him why either.

So Jade just walked over and sat down by the kitchen counter, pulling out a mug for herself and prepping the tea within it as she waited for the water to heat.

"Thank you..."

She wasn't feelin' all that talkative, blowing a blond lock of hair out of her face.

The ding of the arriving elevator prempted her entrance into the Orion's main corridor. As a the doors slid open a thick cloud of blue smoke bellowed out into the large room, the staggering form of the mage making her way into view.

Coughing heavily she rubbed the lenses of her glasses which were covered in a similar blue ash. Between sputtered gasps for air a long line of curses in Dutch could be heard as she rested her hands on her knees. Removing the stained glasses she blinked dumbly about the room the world now a blur.

"Last time I buy spell components from a street vendor!!"

Shaking her head a cloud of blue ash wafted into the air once more. Undoing her long ponytail her usual emerald green tresses splayed out in a odd cerulean cascade. Odd light patterns reflected off its surface like water, as she began to shake way the remaining blue ash. Replacing her glasses she sighed sensing activity within the room.

"Wow someone's actually here?"
