Welcome to Gaia! ::

A shadow outside the door to the estate begins to bubble slightly; slowly it becomes dark and inky black, as though a pool of ink were slowly spreading on the ground. The bubbling becomes more fervent and a dark hand is formed from the material. The darkness slips away to reveal golden bronze skin, slowly moving to a shoulder and then locks of shining silver spilling over swirling dark irises set in crimson almond-shaped hues. His handsome features follow soon after, soft lips and a strong jaw. Collarbone coming into view he flashes a smirk before the rest of his body emerges.
His long silver hair fell in a glittering curtain over his perfect shoulders and down to his ankles. It waved in the air as he moved as if being disturbed by a gentle wind. His body was encased in a black vinyl body suit so tight that you knew at a glance that there was nothing under it but him. There was a black on black embroidery on the material edging the round collar and circling the cutout over his stomach in the shape of a spade, which revealed cobblestone abs like a woman showing off cleavage. Boots of the same material came up to just over his thighs ending into steel toes that looked spit-polished.
Predictably, at his waist hung a pair of bat like wings with red lining, marking him as a member of the Aensland royal family, along with the two that poked from his silvery locks. He stretches briefly, geting the kinks out from having to sit through a long droning speech from another one of the Aensland autocrats. He opened his hand as one of his minions sped to it and then with a silent message went to inform Morrigan of his arrival.

"So it's a date off? Well I think I can safely say that this is pretty much a waste of my time, I'm leaving." With that Nom got up from the couch and walked down the hallway, the dark robes hardly making a sound as he walked off.

Rioushu narrowed his eyes at Aonice, a bit late at catching on to the comment. What the hell is her problem...Wait a minute, a date-off?! Rioushu thought to himself. "And I'm a competitor? For Morrigan? Wow, and I thought she didn't like me. Oh well, I'm probably not going to win, seeing how I can't even follow my own rules. On the other hand though..."
Rioushu said, then looking at Morrigan and then the competitors. "I just can't resist a challenge. I'm in."

Gatz slowly opened one eye at Aonice's question.

"Well, that probably depends on what you make of those things. Why don't you ask some of Morrigan's old boyfriends about it..?" he said, closing his eye again.

... As I seem to remember hearing, most of those old suitors and beaus got "made" into mealtime-fun, he thought to himself, hearing a few of the sucubus's bats still fluttering around the manor in the back of his mind.

Morrigan had ignored Gatz ever since he claimed not to be interested, save for the annoyance she felt when he didn't leave after stating that, unlike Nom. From that point on she felt as if he was intruding on their privacy.

The same could be said about a rather rude messenger, in Morrigan's eyes, from Loki, which announced his arrival. She sent it back, telling it that she was quite busy at the moment with a life-altering matter.

"It's for a little of both," she answered Aonice ", but the part of it that is making it significant is that I will be committing myself to someone exclusively... which I'll admit, I'm not used to." She paused for a moment, collecting her thoughts. "But at the same time, I've been feeling differently about things. For example, the amount of time I've been here; I've never stayed in one place for so long that I can remember. On top of that, I don't even feel like leaving."

"I feel like a whole new person lately," she continued. "I think I'm ready for this. I hope you all understand; I just want to be happy with someone, and I want to know who that someone will be."

And as if to prove that she had not been ignoring Gatz entirely, she added, "And I promise this is not some hoax to attain a stable food source, and I promise not to drain my eventually chosen suitor at all."

Rioushu looked at Quint, for he saw the confidence in his eyes and was not surprised. "Think you're gonna win Quint? Well, I would too if I was you. You do seem to be the one closest to Morrigan out of all of us, but don't think that'll stop me from trying." Rioushu said, then heard Morrigan's statement about not draining her choice, and started laughing. "Heheheh...well looks like I'm disqualified, for you've already drained from me." Rioushu said jokingly, feeling a bit happier than the last time he was in the estate.

Aonice sat back down onto the Couch, shaking her head.. "No, i don't think it's possible to do something like that unless you actually Forget who each one of us are." She nodded, closing her eyes and looking down as she thought, giving off a slightly more wise aura.. "Morrigan, You and Quint already are close, and you know that i'm practically engaged, Plus i'm not exactly the person to exclusive dedicate myself to another." She looked back towards Morrigan, her almond eyes stared into Morri's... "I don't think this is gonna work. Your gonna find Rio too annoying, Gatz a waist of time, Your not gonna think i'm able to handle such a closed relationship, and eventually find Quint just the perfect match.. " She nodded, draping her arms to her thighs before staring back down at her knees.. "I think this is a waist of time"

"Hey, I'm just not interested in winning," Gatz explained to Morrigan and the others, still not bothering to get up. "I never said I wouldn't play along for a little bit, for fun, before I forfeit..."
