Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jade giggled as Keno spun her around, taking a moment to realize the odd reaction he had for a moment to her. Transformed state. She had practically forgotten that she was SSJ now, which was a good thing in a way.

Butjust as soon as her feet touched the ground again she was being pulled towards the door by Keno, who almost seemed like a kid in a candy store at teh moment. But then she realized who was coming in, and didn't need Keno to pull her along for long.

The Saiya-jin waited her turn to give Satomi a hug, rather glad to see the woman after such a long time. Then she looked down at the little girl accompaning her, and took only a moment to figure out who she was. Though she was much, much older than expected, leaving Jade with a slightly puzzled look upon her face.

"Satomi! How have you been? I've missed you."

But Jade visibly stiffened as one more arrived to the party, her eyes darting over at him in a sideways glance as Taliman greeted his daughter. He was practically standing next to her, and she had to fight down an urge to go and check on Deity. He'd be fine. Tali wouldn't start anything here....she hoped.

The clattering of hooves could be heard outside. An old-fashioned carriage, white, with gold trim, large, gold wheels, a carriage driver, commanding four white horses with white and gold feathered headdresses. Inside that carriage was Ichi. The driver halted the horses in front of the club and opened the carriage door for her. She stepped out, wearing a blue and gold chinese dress, gold shoes, long, gold gloves pearl earing and a pearl necklace. She walked up to the doors of Orion and her driver opened the doors for her. Who said Ichi couldn't walk in with style?

"Good Evening everyone." She sounded sophisticated and she walked a few steps walking upright, her chin up, looking at everyone all snobby. Then, she broke down giggling, at herself. She would never really act that way. "Hii everyone!!! It seems like everyone's enjoying themselves." She headed towards Keno and smiled at him while he was talking to Satomi. "Hi, love, have you seen my date yet?"

His face only lit up more as Ichi came in. Though he was a bit confused at her rather...exquisite entrance, he soon relaxed when he realized she was just playing around and took her happily in his arms as she approached and planted a loving kiss on her left cheek. And then another on her right, and a final one on her forehead.

"I'm afraid I haven't seen Tamashii yet. He's either late or he's forgotten, but don't worry. There are so many guys here I'm sure you'll have plenty of dances." He said so confidently and gave her yet another kiss before returning his attention to Satomi.

When she saw that Unks was offering her something to drink, she opened her mouth to request something before she immediately shut it again. No, it would be best not to drink, especially considering the newest circumstances.

Oh yeah, she'd have to bring that up, wouldn't she...

Heaving a sigh, she merely waved her hand at him as she shook her head. "No, I'm fine, but thank you for offering. I just needed a place to sit," she explained gently.

Her attention was momentarily diverted as she felt the sudden touch on the back of her neck, and spots dancing around it. Another light purr escaped her at the caresses, feeling as he began to massage her shoulders and the like. "Oh that's really nice..." she mumbled lightly, her eyes slowly shutting as she merely enjoyed the sensation.

Soon, she also felt another one, right at the tip of her kitsune ear which caused a delicious shudder to run through her. Damn him. Pursing her lips but not saying anything about it, she took a deep breath before opening her ears, trying not to be too distracted by his actions.

"Damion, there's something I gotta tell you," she said with a hint of nervousness, nibbling her lower lip gently as her gaze darted around the room, making sure that no one else would be listening when she shared this.

Although she was sure by the end of the night, everyone would know.

The only other time Caine lifted his head was when Taliman himself entered. Yep, he guessed right in thinking that he'd come if he daughter and woman were here.And now he was heading towards the bar and Caine direction. So he took another pull from his bottle and nodded in the Orinian's direction in greeting.

He didn't have anything to lose really from this proposition, and while it likely would mean time away from his kids, perhaps he'd be able to provide Merena with some time away from the Moon. And anyone know's she could use that.

"We're just... people, Red. We need attention and the 'love' of others. As different as we all are - and as much as some say they don't - we all need other people in our lives. They. Me. ... You."

Perhaps it was a tad bit preachy. But she seemed so anti-social. He wanted to get her out of her shell. Valin thought that deep down inside, she wanted to be like one others. Not outgoing or super friendly, but something beyond compeltely emotionally nonexsistant.

For a second, he felt pity for her. He thought better of it. She wouldn't want it nor did he want to pity a friend.

::Deity stays still and quiet near the elevator, at first content to just stand by and watch. Taking a few slow steps back, he leans his shoulders against the metallic black elevator tower, watching everyone talk amongst themselves. Even Caine showed up. Suddenly torn from his thoughts by his own name spoken to him, Deity blinks his way out of his stupor to see Soneko standing before him, hand extended. Having not really caught what the boy had said, Deity just serves up a sheepish little smile, catching Sone's palm with his right hand for a brief moment. He finally utters a few words to his friend, pulling his hand back to his pocket.::

...uhhm, Happy New Years.

::His eyes drifting about as he speaks, Deity sees a sight for sore eyes peeking out from behind Soneko's shoulder - Sato, arriving at the bar to meet the others. Looking splendid as usual, she also seems to have a little girl with her. Instantly able to detect within her blood not unlike his own, the Tonepian's eyes light up. Though at first inwardly thrilled to see that Satomi has her child with her on Earth, the feeling is then quickly replaced by confusion. Man, she got big really quick. Despite knowing Sato as well as he does, the boy hasn't a clue to start with at the moment.

As he ponders this, his mouth hanging ajar to some degree, his attention is suddenly focused elsewhere again. Instinctively backing into the elevator shaft again, he finds his older brother surveying the area near the two entryway. Soon, Taliman's gaze meets Deity's, their eyes locked for only a breath...before Tali turns away.

A sigh of relief that could inflate a car tire rushes through Deity's windpipe as his posture suddenly relaxes. Not sure what kept Tali from approaching, Deity isn't tempted to go and ask. Unwilling to move, the quiet Mystic Orinian stays against the elevator shaft wall, finding it harder to pick one person out of the building crowd ahead. That said to himself, he suddenly remembers that Soneko is still standing here. He audibly reacts with a soft yelp, somewhat startled by Sone's....unmoved figure. Gripping his pockets with his thumb, he bites on his lower lip in silence.

Letting his eyes drift about again, Deity sees Sato looking his way with a wave and a smile. The expression is returned, the Tonepian recalling how much he's missed her while she's been away. Things may lighten up somewhat if he goes to see her, but...people.::

Jade's stiffness at Tali's arrival quickly vanished as the young girl introduced herself as Satomi and Taliman's daughter. A bright smiled covered her face as she crouched down to Ren's height so as not to look down at her.

"And a pleasure to meet you Ren. My name is Jade Saewin."

She still wasn't quite sure how the girl was so old already, but she was well mannered. Jade stood up and looked over at Satomi, knowing who she was looking at.

"He's been worried about you too y'know...."
