Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ayumi looked around. Not much was really happening around her. She stood upright and said,"Well, it looks like I'm not needed anymore. I'll be in my office." She dug her hands in her pockets and started walking towards her office.

She had finally gotten there after a few confabs with a few soliders who asked her why she those two kids go so easily. People from her department were quite suprised about this and the fact that this interrogation only took a few minutes. She opened the door to her office and at down at her desk and started reading a book she had in her desk drawer.

After a few minutes of reading, she glanced up at the clock. Maybe I should leave now. Sure, some people just might slack off while I'm gone but I can always yell at them tomorrow..or wait a minute. She suddenly remembered that girl she saw in the lobby. She closed up her book. I'll go look for Sciezka. She's bound to know about this girl. I noticed that other people might have recongnized her too so it just might be easy to find something on this kid. She stood up and left her office and started her quest to look for her.

Al marveled that the power could be out in such a place. He looked around, peeing into the darkness, trying to see some form of what was inside.

Surely there had to be some form of backup generator for a military building, so why hasn't it kicked in yet?

If only I had managed to learn how to see energy forms around things more clearly. That was never something I spent much time thinking about before.




Alphonse stopped, waiting for the sound of footfalls to grow slightly distant. He began to make out the walls of the room, and had some idea of where he was in relationship to them.


He shrugged in response to the barely made out question, not entirely sure of what she asked, but it seemed the best answer.

Alphonse scanned the room after the orb had formed near Ashtoreth, still unsure of who was in here with him. He spotted a women sitting on a bench near one of the walls. There was also a desk with a guard positioned at it and two older girls speaking to him. He did not want to disturb the conversation going on at the desk, so he wandered over to where the bench was to have a seat and wait.

"Winry, why don't we wait over here? I am sure it will be a little while before things are sorted out and they tell Ed we are here."

I know its not right to disturb him where he might be working, but I have to know if it's really him. Perhaps we can catch up on a few things while we wait.

Kat turned to Riku. "So.... should we just.... leave then?" As she said it, she realized she didn't want to. The close call with the officers here had gotten her on a high. The mystery going on in the building was exciting her.

"What should we do?" she asked.

Winry paused a moment, her gaze faltering. Shifting her toolbag on her shoulder for the millionth time that day, she shot a look toward Ashtoreth before responding.

"...Sure."

She walked over to the bench, and paused again. Something wierd was going on... She squinted. Looking up, her eyes were caught by the red hair of a girl sitting at the end of the bench. Her eyebrows knit together in confusion.

HQ is just a bin full 'o loonies, today...

She spun on her heel and sat down beside Al, propping her toolbox against the bench. She gnawed on the inside of her cheek a moment before turning to him.

"Nee, Al. What do you think? I mean..." her eyes dropped to his shoes, and she bit her lip. This probably wasn't the best time to be asking... "...do you really think that Ed's here?" She lifted her coppenhagen gaze to his grey one, eyes full of disbelieving inquiry.

"Well, you now know not to ask..." He shifted in his spot a little and and looked at her, his eyes back to a brown, though they were unfeeling and dark. "It's best if you do not question me at all." Envy watched as some of the ominous clouds above parted, only to reveal a dark sky. It has gotten late.... what is Adine doing in there? We cant stay here all night.
Envy stood up, still staring at the parting in the clouds. Adine must be busy. Her work is lacking. He laughed out loud and shook his head.

Envy took a deep sigh and put his hand on his hip. "Hey.... I think I will go. I am finding no use sitting around, and I think Adine has everything in there under control. so, whadya say? Any protests?"

"I dunno...... but if you want to contact Adine in any way, you will have to come with me." He raised one eyebrow and frowned. "What? You have been following me around."

"No clue. I was hoping you would know. I havent been around here in a while and I have nowhere to go." He looked at her witha curious look. "Are you sure nobody will recognize you?" He asked slyly.

Envy stared at the card. "And how do you plan on her finding this thing?" He shifted his weight onto one foot and sneered at her.
