Welcome to Gaia! ::

Noticing Keionx was never difficult, not really. The greeting was for her, that helped, but there was no way Athera would've missed the bold, unapologetic voice. At least she bothered to swallow her bite of cookie before speaking this time.

"Hi!!" Her own hello was just as enthusiastic as she waved with her cookie-hand. Jostling the punch too much would've spilled it all over again.

"I'm good. I've got snacks." For whatever reason, Athera seemed proud of the fact. "I'm gonna pick a seat soon," she continued, this time looking at Eyzaak, "I'll sit wherever!"

Voscil relaxed as he sat down beside her, amused by the space the other took up. He had always been larger than her, both in size and overall bulk. She didn't mind, they were just different. "I'll get us some snacks in a moment if you want." For once she didn't want to rush around...she enjoyed the fact he was calm, if not happy. He usually was always so stressed it seemed lately...hopefully, this meeting would bring good news.

Letting him rest on her, she laid her head against his shoulder as she sighed gently. Nuzzling his shoulder she opened an eye as he spoke. "I dunno! I hope everyone comes. I'll go zip over to some houses if they don't." She laughed.

Listening to him, Voscil went uncharacteristically quiet. "I...don't know. I don't really want to hurt anyone either...unless I have to keep myself or someone safe." She frowned, pursing his lips in consideration. "Why? Are you worried?" Voscil asked giving his hand a gentle squeeze..unaware of just how serious things had been in regards to Nictor, or the incident in the past with Rasali for the matter.

That Rasali picked now to show up was a blessing in disguise. The situation had finished escalating, of course, but even Aprife felt something close to apologetic for almost laughing about it. This was Stryke's first rodeo in the hot seat and it was obvious he'd been stressed enough about that. Ah well. It was still funny.

"Rasali, hey. Good to see you." She was always refreshing, honestly. Aprife appreciated a troll with a good mood. "I guess I'll be joining you, then. Wouldn't want to make the good doctor upset." Picking up his file folder, he finally took the seat he'd claimed earlier.

After all, wandering off had never been in the plans, but heaven forbid he took a step sideways and fell right off Muerte's radar. It was something he'd definitely hear about later if he kept it up, so better to just settle in.

Akkira had been careful, but that didn't mean she wasn't paranoid as hell that someone had followed her to the given location. She Kept turning her head this way and that to make sure that it was only ghosts reporting to her and not the sounds of footsteps. She was a bit more calm once she entered the building but still on edge. She gripped the hilt of her sword so tightly her knuckles changed color.

She didn't make too much effort to interact with anyone just yet, She wanted to make sure this location was super secure. She sent some of her ghost friends to go secure the boarder as best they could and waited. Waited to know if something or someone had followed her from Chittentown. Akkira let out a sigh and rolled her shoulders.

Selune
Selune timidly entered the meeting room, a basket in her arms. Her mother and herself had made more cookies, just in case they ran out, you never know. She put the basket of cookies on the back table, and found a spot in the corner to sit.

Etsali slipped in with a grin already spread across her face. It wasn't so often she got to see all of her friends in the rebellion altogether, after all, and there were big things in the works to boot. She was excited to see what the big plan was, and twice as excited to see how happy Ephias and Tevini and Cerpin would be. Of everyone she knew, they were the only ones who'd ever really expressed so much interest in space before it had become a really possible thing again.

She waved brightly at everyone she knew well and liked, avoided any mutant children on her way to a seat as naturally as possible (because respecting Byakko still didn't make that any less weird), and finally claimed a chair all for herself to wait and see what came next.

"Yeah. Fair enough I guess." He mused at Athera's returned comment. He wasn't even sure who he was sitting by yet. Not everyone was here yet after all.

Eyzaak placed a hand on his hip as he looked Keionx over. She had a curious way of speaking. He wasn't sure he'd ever heard anything like it. "Me? My names Eyzaak." The blueblood announced proudly as he gave his own chest a light thud as if to designate himself more clearly. "What about you?" He began to ask before his focus on the current situation was ripped away.

Before he could really comment further..he felt something wet splash his face. Blinking rapidly the child yelped in surprise as he flailed in dismay. What was going on?! Why did he now smell like some of that delicious punch? "WAAAAHHHH!" He protested as he wiped the juice off his face.

Laughing he looked to the redblood who had caused it.

"Yoooo. What's that for?" He chuckled as he stuck his tongue out at the other, as he hoisted the cup up....tempted to fling it at her. Being she rushed at him with a handkerchief he stuck his tongue out instead. "Eh. It's fine." He mentioned to the older girl as he lightly waved his hand. "You okay Tev?" He asked, giving her arm a pointed little poke. She sure had gotten tall...damn when was he going to get a growth spurt of his own?!

Ⅱ Autumn Vikare

Autumn flounced into the council room with all the theatricality of a true diva, pausing in the door frame after she had made her entrance, and sighing loudly at the general shoddy state of affairs. Shoddy relatively speaking at least.

The yellowblood wore a sleek new outfit, all black with a sheen like obsidian, and remarkably high heels. Even more remarkable was how clean they were. Somehow she had managed it so that there was not so much as a smudge of dirt on them. Fluttering beside her, Caterpal had been coaxed into wearing a suit tailored just to his measurements. Even so, he seemed about ready to burst out at the seams.

She bypassed the snack table, where chaos had broken out. Predictably Eyzaak seemed to be in the middle of it. Athera had been roped into the mess too it looked like. Too bad. She would have liked to talk with her. Instead, she made a beeline for Cerpin, and bounced into the chair beside him, claiming Tevini's former spot.

“Good evening~!” she said, greeting the purpleblood warmly. “This seat wasn't taken, was it?” She asked, mischief in her eyes. It was no secret that the redblood and purpleblood stuck together like glue.
