Welcome to Gaia! ::

[ Ajora : Paris : The Ball ]

Ajora had stood completely still when his presence was announced, his entire body tense and ready to jump at a moment's notice. Those nearby turned to look at him, some even gesturing in respect. Why was he the center of attention in a masquerade, what was the point of being announced, what was going on--

When he spotted the woman on the throne-like chair, nodding toward him, he almost immediately loosened up, even going so far as to sigh in relief (though his stature and poise were unchanged). He strolled around the room, dodging the dance floor (he would not be rude and walk through them!), and made his way to the chair beside Elleon, bowing in respect before taking a seat.

"My, but you have moved up in the world," he mused, glancing out over the dance floor. "What's the occasion?"

[Dani :: Shipwreck Cove :: Rose Ramp ]

"Well it looks like there might be a replica of me out there." Dani thought to herself before looking to her side to see Noelle roll her eyes and look away in her direction.

"Looks like I won't be making friends with Noelle for awhile." Dani sighed before getting closer to the group and listening in on the conversation.

When Dani heard Kyle talking about going to Atlantica she smiled before walking over to stand near Kyle. "If you don't mind," the assassin said before looking to the group as well. "I would like to head down there too, I can use water magic so I feel I could feel more useful down in the water then being up here on the boat. It might help us a tiny bit."


[Ashley :: Caribbean Sea :: The Flying Dutchman]

"Holy ****" Ashley said, stirring after someone had come onto the ship. She quickly turned around and summoned her chakrams only to notice Ajora standing there.

"Oh. He showed." Ashley sighed before dissipating the chakrams from her hands. "Sorry for the lack of a reception Ajora. Some of us just stayed here on the boat and waited for your return. I guess the others got bored and left. I stayed because I really got nothing better to do. You looking for someone in particular?" Ashley finally shut her mouth after relaying all of the information that she knew before climbing onto the railing and sitting down on it.

[Joe: Shipwreck Cove: Uppermost Balcony]

The male blank faced at Kyle's question, before quirking an eyebrow. It was a look that said 'You serious?'.

"Weren't you the one that dragged me to Hawaii in the first place?"

[ Amy : Shipwreck Cove : Uppermost Balcony ]

Amy looked to Kyle, then to Joe, who she stared at despite an effort otherwise. The memory of her battle with Azrael came unbidden to her mind, and she touched her arms where he had slashed them. Joe was different than his replica, though; the hug drove that home.

And Kyle had really curly hair.

"Why would we go to Atlantica in the middle of the night, though? Couldn't we wait until morning?"

[Anthony ~.~ Shipwreck Cove ~.~ Uppermost Balcony]

Anthony walked out of the Red Rose hunched over and groggy, then, stretching his arms out, gave a great big yawn. After the whole men's bathing chamber incident, the young man had joined the others in the training room to help Mathy learn some new moves. He was hesitant at first, since he didn't feel comfortable striking an alley, but it was for the betterment of the group. ...at least, that's what he thought to convince himself it was alright... After that, he napped for a bit, though it was hardly considered a nap. Anything less than 2 hours is not a nap in his book, and between the experiment and the training, he barely got some shut eye.

The knight had missed the bit about the new replicas; however, he stepped out just in time to hear people volunteer about going to Atlantica. He agreed to be one of the few Earthlings to stay on deck and he was going to stick to his word unless otherwise convinced. So he, too, passed on the option. "I'll stay behind and, uh... fend off pirates with Demyx," he said, walking up to the Nobody and resting his arm on the other's shoulder.

[Joe; Lexaeus: Shipwreck Cove: Uppermost Balcony(Rose Ramp)]

"No kidding, Riku." My, Kyle was crabby...not like Joe could really blame him, though. Especially with what they were dealing with that was right around the corner.

"Don't worry, we'll be back soonish."

And with that, Joe followed after Kyle, diving off the edge of the balcony with a little bit of flare. Why? Cause he could. That and something about the water made him pretty happy, regardless about the reason he was hopping in it.

Lexaeus frowned as he watched the the two males dive off. Well, not because of what they were doing. Scouting ahead made sense. It was more...these were kids. They seemed to not take things seriously for the most part.

Not like Lex could really stand to change anything. He had just joined, and throwing his weight around would probably lead to bad things. There were more of them then of him. So he just silently watched them all.

{Bobbi, Demyx .:. Shipwreck Cove .:. Uppermost Balcony}

Bobbi grunted at Kyle's outburst. It just seemed to prove that she needed sleep. She hadn't realized Kyle was singling Joe out, having had her head buried in Dawn's arm at the time. She especially hadn't realized this was just a scouting mission, and that they would be back before sunrise. Still, as an Archer, she felt she should be part of the scouting mission (despite what happened last time she tried that).

The situation was made moot by Kyle and Joe jumping off the side of the balcony, just as Riku and Lex showed up. Bobbi shrugged and yawned hugely, covering her gaping maw with the back of her wrist. When the yawn had ended, she turned around, grabbed Dawn by the sleeve, and dragged the Dancer back onto the Rose in search of a place to lay flat and pass out. She looked up as she walked, trying to gauge how much time they had until morning, but couldn't even find East without the stars, and the moon was at just the right angle she couldn't tell which direction it was going either.

Demyx watched the proceedings passively. As people made up their minds what they wanted to do, the Melodious Nocturne brought out his Sitar and began playing it. He made sure he was out of the way of the others, especially when a couple people decided to jump off the edge of the platform.
