Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'll also pass on the...um, tea?" He put the sake bottle on the floor and reached into his robe. "I think that I managed to bring an extra one..." A smile appeared on his face as he took something out. It was a small, rectangular bottle. "I put some in here so that it would be easier to carry. That way, my hands wouldn't be full with sake." He grabbed the sake bottle that he had on the floor and drank some, before walking towards Junichiro and handing him the other bottle.

Nicholas waved his hand at Junichiro, taking a nice long sip of his piping hot Hollow Blood Tea.

"Oh no, no Junichiro! This tea is quite good, despite its look and texture...and smell and taste...Do try some!"

In his haste to give Junichiro some tea, he tripped and spilled some of the tea onto a nearby flower. Said flower withered instantly and spontaneously combust at the same time, forming vocal cords for a brief second to let out a single note of pure terror and sadness.

"Uh..."

A surprised yet worried expression appeared on his face as he saw the flower burst into flames. "That explains so much..." said Matsu, referring to Nicholas' randomness. "Well, I that we might be able to trick a hollow into drinking it. I mean, we couldn't be cruel enough to just dump it somewhere...especially after what happened to the flower." He drank a bit of sake and let out a sigh. Quickly, he headed over to Junichiro. "I don't think that it would be a good idea to know that..." he whispered in his ear.

"Well, you remember that big a** war we had..." Nicholas started, hands flying around to show that he was in his story telling mode, before he froze, hands still in mid air.

He could sense something was wrong in the air. Something evil...

"Squad Three Member!" He roared, flinging his tea cup at the trail of dust next to Roze's feet, causing a nearby ant colony to be overswept by Hollow blood, before the whole pack mutated and turning on each other. A nearby spider, attracted by the noise of mutated ants, joined in the fight.

Somewhere in the background, Slipknot was playing.

There was an awkward pause.

"Oh wait...WE'RE Squad Three members as well..."

Another pause.

"HEY! That was my favourite cup!"

More silence.

"So, anyone want a 4-way fight?"

The ants, awed at Roze's display of power began doing what could only be called "worshipping", bowing and bringing offerings of food to Roze as he poked them to death.

"Are...are they sacrificing virgin ants?"

One of the ants, let out a croaky "Roze-sama!" before falling face first into the ground, bleeding from its sticky puncture wounds. Several more of the ants began falling over, as the spider took advantage of their new found religion and began killing several.

There was a small pause as the spider worked its small brain, before it donned a hat and cloak and introduced itself to the dying crowd as the "Pope of Roze-sama", preaching Roze's message of terrible vengeance via stick.

Several small churches were then set up in Roze's honour, with disturbingly life-life mini statutes of Nicholas, Junichiro and Kiba being burnt could be seen in the background, while shrines of Michiko and Matsu could be seen around a much larger shrine dedicated to Roze.

The ants, in unison let out a croaky "Roze-sama!", while the Spider built its own city with the money it was receiving from the crowds of ants.

All this took a matter of 2 minutes, 47 ********." Nicholas said, staring at his flash of Hollow Blood Tea in awe, before chugging some down.

Junichiro went into comedy chibi mode over the whole event with a large sweat drop formed as he sighed, ''Jeeze, this is to much...'' Junichiro flipped off the rock next the the ant hill and shouted ''Hado #1 Thrust!''; Then sending his palm down atop the ant mound, he eradicated the whole colony and the spider. Following the destruction of the mount a crater 30 cm's deep and a radius of a meter was then created; Junichiro took to his then faced Roze with a lazy expression, ''I don't beleive we have actually met, but I have heared you joined the squad a while ago, pleased to meet you, I am Junichiro Watanabe, currently 4th seat.''

Junichiro bowed his head slightly out out of his good manners, despite his lazyness to bow properly. Junichiro then took a small mouthful fo sake, ''You do not want to really touch that stuff, and you especially do not want to consume it.....Unles you wish to become like Nicholas over there.'' Junichiro slowly turned his head to face Nicholas guzzaling down more of the 'tea', ''Nicholas, it obviously wasa fluke on what it did to those insect's it will NOT do the same for us, it will only make you worse.'' Junichiro paused for a moment at the thought of Nicholas getting worse in his own nature and a large shiver was sent coursing through his veins as he began to sweat. Junichiro coughed to clear his throat and went back to sit on his rock.

((Nicholas, you're wierdness never seices(SP?) to amaze me eek sweatdrop ))

Junichiro sighs heavily, ''Well maybe you are right, I mean each hollow has it's own unique traits, so I imagine it's genetic make-up would have it's own unique qualities, and fortunatly, the flower got the hollow with possibly flame qualities, while the insicts got the inteligence, Nicholas however seem's to have just gotten extremely wierd.'' Junichiro scrathes the back of his head for a moment. ''Nicholas, you really have to stop drinking and possibly eating strange thing's especially if they are from hollows, otherwise one day you will be in one hell of a mess where some terribly unlucky person will have to clean up.''

Junichiro thought to himself, ''Knowing my crappy luck it will most likely be me...'' Junichiro sigh's in chibi mode and then slowly sips some more of his sake in his cupped hands with a lazy expression while sitting cross-legged on the large rock. ''Well anyway, this, I suppose, is our little group, feel free to get involved in the crazyness, but if you arent used to Nicholas, I reccomend you go get traumatised by something before hanging around with him to much.'' Junichiro chuckled slightly, but the really funny thing was, he was not joking, and hoped that Roze could tell this from Junichiro's obviouse body language and expressions to everything thus far.
