Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Will do," Eli replied brightly over the communicator, eyeing his "catch" with what, to them, was no doubt an ominous grin--they'd just been invisibly dragged around by him, even if he did look a bit silly. Gaia was a world where looks simply could not be trusted. And they'd be dragged around a bit more before the night was over...

It must've been a sight to the others, as the kuppy jumped down from the rooftop into the larger area where Kamiko had all the others, hefting his own "catch" over his shoulder in what appeared to be a net of magic, formed of red sparkles that looked angry and possibly explosive. And he'd arrived just on time too, by the sound in Kamiko's voice. "I'd prefer it if the city stayed peaceful as well," he added, mildly stern tone at odds with the powerful magic he seemed nonchalant at using.

"I think that was all of them too, I couldn't read anything else in the crowd," he told Kamiko briskly as laid the net on the ground, dissolving the sparkles but the invisible ties still strong on the individual wriggling parties. He fetched some of the ties Kamiko was using and set to reinforcing his magic with physical restraints.

He followed after her bemused that all seemed to have gone according to plan for once--maybe the luck would hold? But as Kamiko hugged him, he remembered the reason he'd been able to go on had been precisely because Kamiko--lovely, half-dressed Kamiko--was not pressing herself up against him. Calling it a night sounded like a very good idea...as long as it involved them just going back home, and having time together alone for once. Krypto in the basement-lair or his bedroom was an acceptable state of aloneness; it was a big building.

"There's a whole third floor that could use exploring back home," he said, smile turned mischievous. "What do you think?"

Eli changed too--he hadn't been in his closet before now, but was surprised to find it a walk-in, and filled to the brim with the styles he favored...but he didn't ever remember buying. Missy was the sudden thought, and he shook his head, but he was smiling. His sister was a rare sight, but the signs of her presence were unmistakable.

He met Kamiko on the stairs, opting to dress more casually than he usually did--sleeveless tank, collared shirt worn open, jeans--and wasn't surprised to see her choice. And he was used to this state of half undress on her. "Ready," he said, with a smile of his own. "Let's see what 'surprises' are up there." He hadn't the faintest clue, but judging by the rest of the house, they'd be something all right.

The hall on the third floor looked much the same as all the others. "Door number one, door number two, or door number three?" Eli asked, flourishing towards the doors on the left hand side of the hallway.

"Very astute. First door it is!" Eli said, stepping into the room with her. His first thought was 'oh, so that's where the karaoke went'--and then he was mostly just impressed. Before them was a near-perfect replica of the Crown Karaoke Parlor from Pretty Guardian Sailormoon...a large white room with blue carpeting, and brightly colored furniture including a small crescent-moon table with four modern-style chairs, a curio table along one wall and a pink and yellow counter along the other, with a red couch piled high with pink and red heart-shaped pillows.

"I'm going to take a wild guess and say this one was meant for me," he said with a grin. "See? Karaoke is not out of a place in a hero's hideout," he added, pointing innocently to the cart on the raised circular tiers at the other end of the room holding a karaoke machine with attached tv.
