Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Joseph: Disney: Castle Halls -> Throne Hall]

Two people, who he was pretty sure were Noelle and Nick, dashed past him, causing his robes to flutter a bit thanks to his turning to see what the patter and stomping was, the open front easily catching the wind.

"What in the..." He was not sure what happened. He was quite certain he didn't really want to know, either. But then came Dani's voice, the perfect distraction.

And as he turned to her, she was suddenly right in front of him, and the male flinched, jumping back a little out of instinct. He never was one for sudden appearances when he wasn't ready for them.

Taking Dani's hand, he pulled her next to him, locking his arm with her's as they made their way down the hall. "Starving. Plus it's breakfast. Who wouldn't want breakfast foods?"

Of course, it wasn't that long to the throne hall, where Genie was cooking up a storm. Joseph took his usual spot on the bench(or at least the general area), loading up a plate of pancakes and bacon for Dani, then a plate of over easy eggs on toast for himself.

Of course, as he looked around, he stopped on Nick. But did not catch the presence of Noelle. After taking a bite of his food, he frowned, lowering the food to his plate and sighing. Noelle was either hiding, or something more 'sinister' had happened. He was betting on the former, though. He also internally debated on whether he should ask or not.

"Do I even want to know?" Apparently, he felt he should ask at least that.

[Dawn : Disney Castle : Throne Hall]

Dawn let out a sigh as Kyle pacified Nick, who immediately went over to pick on Noelle. She shook her head and sat near Joe, taking the coffee. She poured herself a cup with some cream and sugar. Then dished herself out some fruit.

"Nick, don't speak with your mouth full." Dawn said to Nicholas as she handed a piece of toast under the table to Noelle.

[ Luke : Disney Castle : Luke's Room ---> Castle Halls ]


I can't stop this feeling, deep inside of me.
Girl, you just don't realize what you do to me~

"...Wha?"

I didn't pick that one, Salamander's derisive voice floated into his mind. So don't look at me. It wasn't as if he would blame Salamander, because unlike the miserable dragon, Luke actually loved that song.

"Obviously it wasn't you," the Animist groaned as he rolled over onto his other side. "You hate the classics." He finally opened his eyes to see he was facing toward his bedroom door and the wall, wondering why there weren't any huge glow-in-the-dark stars all over it. Eventually his mind formed into something less fuzzy and he realized that he wasn't in his Mirage Arena bedroom.

Not all the classics.

"Truuue, you love it when I serenade you with 'November Rain'," Luke cackled, finally rising to a sitting position after his third try. Though his summon had no physical form at the present moment, he could practically feel the fire dragon shuddering with disgust as he slipped off of the bed and onto his feet. He could tell by what semblance of an internal clock he had that it was way too early to do anything with, and he usually slept in far later. But he figured that since they were starting a brand new adventure today, an early start and lots of coffee would be the ideal course of action. Maybe.

Luke glanced around to make sure he wasn't missing anything he might need before opening his door, blinking wildly at the unnecessary brightness outside of the room he had only been in a handful of times in what had, to him, been a year. He turned around to gaze longingly - albeit through half-closed eyes - at the bed in the corner of the room, which was pleasingly darkened by thick curtains over his windows. He let out a pathetic whimper, reaching out his hand for a moment just to be dramatic.

I shall miss you, my sweet, he half-sang in his own mind, before finally shutting the door and trudging down the hallway. Slowly, and with many yawns, he made his way to the room of the one called Feather, who, for the past many months (Um... few days? What is time?), he had been calling "Fern". He stopped just inches short of the door and let his head tilt forward to make a dull thud as it collided with the wood, determined to use it as a pillow as he stood half-asleep outside the threshold.

"Ferrrrrrn," he yawned, giving several light taps to the door with his knuckles. "I think it's time to eeeeat. I can smell eggs. Or maybe I just want to smell them. I dunno." He stopped himself before he started to ramble, waiting to see (hear?) if there would be any response. They may still be asleep, so he might have been talking to himself. If there was no response after a while, he would eventually start meowing and, if he had the energy - which wasn't likely at this point - lightly pawing at the door.

Nnnn, door, I love you. You are such a good pillow.

[Dani :~: Disney :~: Castle Halls -> Throne Hall]

Dani smiled as her arm was looped with Josephs. She carefully walked along side with him into the throne room preparing to decide what to get for food. What she did not realize was that Joseph was already putting food on her plate until she was done processing. “God dammit Joeseph!” Dani said but did not have a lot of anger behind. “I swear you are trying to fatten me up.”

Dani however, despite her words, smiled and began stuffing her face with the food provided. To the point that literal strips of bacon would be shoved into her mouth. She watched Nick go on yelling before snickering. “I am going to guess that Noelle: over 9000 Nich: 0 at this point. But who is counting.”

“Also Nich don’t mess with toast. Toast is sacred,” Dani said to Nick in total serious reaching for a piece of toast and eating it quickly before going back to her own meal. Dani immediately scooted over a little bit if Noelle chose to come and sit next to her and Joeseph at this point.

[ Kyle : Disney : Throne Hall ]

As he prepped his tea after cleaning Nicholas' face (and attempting to ignore their antics after the fact), he turned upward at the sensation of Joe falling gently to the ground. He raised a brow, but made no particular comment; of course the pre-life experienced one was already practicing.

"Easier said than done, you braggart," Kyle teased him in response, grinning as he gathered some scrambled eggs and seasoning.

[Joseph: Disney: Throne Hall]

The male rolled his eyes, but smiled as he did so, going back to his food and quietly watched everyone. Though when Riku posed questions about the tournament, he raised his hand. And then waved it a bit. And then shook one finger as he tried to finish his bite of food.

"Ah, bigger bite than I thought. I wanna fight. Well I'm thinking about it. I probably will. Am...Yes. Yes I am." He nodded, as if he decided right then he was going to. Though he'd been 'waffling' on it for a while but always leaning towards 'yes'.

Though he frowned as he opened his mouth, then closed it. Then he counted on his fingers. With a sigh, he finished with "No idea on the god. I...can't decide. I don't know how I ended up with so many leftover options."

[Dawn : Disney Castle : Throne Room]

Dawn gave Nick a look that could only read as "I don't care" as she took a sip of her coffee, then said in a soft voice into the cup, "'Sacred' or not, I am sure it was a vast improvement. You should have Noelle do your morning make up more often." then took another drink before putting her cup down.

The Astro sighed softly as she turned her attention to the matters of business, "Be honest, I hadn't had a chance to give it much thought either."

{Bobbi, Demyx, Zell, Nanaki, Yuffie .:. Disney Castle .:. Throne Hall}

For the most part, Bobbi stayed out of the shenanigans, calmly sipping her tea and picking at her food as chaos ensued all around her. She'd gotten used to what she had affectionately started calling the Breakfast Crazies, and had become adept at keeping a straight face despite giggling her a** off on the inside.

Two hours since wake-up or no, it was too damn early to join in. But she did answer Riku's question.

"I'm not joining," she said with a shrug. "Not a competition person. What about you?"

Demyx got an answer to his question via context clues, which really didn't answer anything but did provide plenty of amusement. He watched the banter between Noelle and Nick while steadily munching through his food, his head whipping back and forth like he was watching a tennis match. And deliberately ignoring the topic change to the Olympics. Nope, not his thing, he'll just pretend he didn't hear squat about it. Yeah, that would work.

Yuffie and Zell wandered into the hall, with Nanaki in tow, about halfway through Joe announcing his choice of god, and immediately the Great Ninja perked up.

"Are we talking about the Olympics?" she asked, snagging a seat next to Nick and plopping down into it. "Because I am so in!"

"And no one is surprised," Zell chuckled as he took a seat near the end of the table, Nanaki settling down beside him. He wasted absolutely no time in heaping a plate with all of Nanaki's favorite breakfast foods.

"I shall join as well," the great fiery cat said as he waited patiently for his food. He envied the two-legs their thumbs sometimes. "My choice of god is Apollo."

"Oooh, I never even thought of a god," Yuffie sighed. "Hmm… Who's the god of grace and beauty and masterful combat?"
