Welcome to Gaia! ::

As she slowly walked down the stairs Silvina heard Luciano's voice float up to meet, her, and the slight frown that had been on her face since she closed Pen's door deepened. Coming down off the last step. she briskly walked into the room where Luciano was seated on the couch, amiable and oblivious.

Walking up to the couch so she was a few feet away from him Silvina opened her mouth to try and say something gentle and soothing so he wouldn't jump to any conclusions. Instead her words came blurted out as, "Pen's gone."

"Gone to the store 'gone'? or GONE gone?!" asked skotti.

"Whoa whoa, we can't just run all over like normal, especially in your condition, we need to know where to start before we start looking" said skotti.

Satria was walking slowly down stairs when she caught the sound of people talking in urgent tones. Not quite awake she shuffle past and got coffee. She was sure her mind and body would be more alert and ready to work out the problem. After she had some coffee.

Luciano wrapped a new bandage around his knuckles and then he said, "I know some of the places, but I don't know where she works- Waffle, Sabe, you guys should go to Aekea. Take someone else with you. Skotti, I can go with you." he then pulled on his Grizzly Hoodie, winced a little from the pain, but then grabbed his Modified Revolvers.

Luciano walked with a limp, a limp he was trying to hide, to the back door leading out of the kitchen to call out to Michelle, who was still in her Garden, he shouted to her, "Michelle! I'm going out to look for Pen! Please stay here and get a hold of my Grandfather! I'll have my mobile with me!" once Michelle said 'Fine- But you owe me dinner!' he smiled then closed the door. He limp-walked to Skotti and then he said, "Alright, let's roll- Silvina, you're with us."

Riche seemed different this time around. Not blatantly wanting the destruction of the elf who stood in front of him, but more of a coolness about him than earned him the title of professor among vampires.

"Ah it seems you still cling to those useless emotions of yours. Why would I tell my prey I was still around, I would lose the advantage of surprise." He kept in the dark but Pen could make out his figure. He was considerably bigger in more ways than one. It would seem his book worm decided to go to the gym this time before approaching Pen again.

Pen of course kept a cool head and only thought of why she brought here. The letter she received had taken her off guard and if not for the trails of last night she would still be off kilter. Who knew battling against zombies had an advantage.

"Now Riche, lets cut to the chase. You told me in the letter that you had a family for me and I would make a big decision to have it." A sly look formed across her face as her tone went up an octave. "This wouldn't happen to be your odd way of proposing marriage now would it?" She knew of course that would just tick him off. If he hated anything more than elves then it was women and the whole marriage idea. The last thing he would ever do is propose to the apical being of both those hatreds.

However he only took a step out in the dim light so he could be seen with just as slyness grin. This took Pen's right off and she looked rather shocked. He gave a small laugh beneath his breath and began to explain his proposal.

"No, but I did say I offer a family, but more about that later." Riche had a very confident look about him as he continued. Pen now relieved kept her guard up, for who knows when he would crack and attack like normal.

"I'm starting my own little group. However we need the old tree to fall for my sapling to grow. That is why I sent you that letter, I need the Kuros to fall at my will."

Pen just burst into laughter, "What! You want to take the entire organization down?! Are you mad! And you think I'm going to help! Ok where is the camera." She mockly looked about the room with a sarcastic smile. If Pen knew about this crazy scheme she wouldn't have been so out of it at the pizza party. Riche however didn't change his expression and even gave his own evil laugh.

"No, just the Black OPs. You see we aren't big enough to take the entire gang."
"And you think I'm going to help."
"Why yes."
"You are mad"

At this Pen turned to leave, this was just a waste of time. He'll never be that kid I met.

With a quick snap at the vampire's fingers however a bright light shown over a group of humans tied to chairs. The elf stood in her tracks on the cusp of rage and confusion. "What is that Edwards!" Pen coldly uttered her body tensing seeing innocents being involved.

"My leverage."
