Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kirai (body) walked through the gardens. She had returned to Vaclav for a short while after the encounter with V, but quickly was troubled with memories and thoughts of all kinds, and felt the need to escape. As she passed through the gardens, Kirai found a large boulder in one part, covered with ivy and long dead rose vines. A memory flashed through her head.... The image of Avarice sitting on top of a boulder, one very much like that one that use to exist in the maze. Putting her hand over her mouth, Kirai turned away, walking back in the opposite direction. Why am I remembering all of this? Why now...? Walking under a willow tree, Kirai turned, and leaning back against it, tilted her head up to look up at the moon. Her long blonde hair fell down around her face, which was delicately lit through the small gentle beams of light which shone through the long drifting branches and leaves. Then I am honored to have played a part in your happiness. Pushing herself away from the tree, Kirai kept on walking, her head held high, and her hands folded gently, tightly, together in a formal fashion, although no one was watching. Don't feel bad, love. We haven't gone at eachother's throats yet. Her hands squeezed tighter, as she heard Avarice's words echo through her head. Then she heard her own voice inside her head, saying with sweet, innocent laughter, It is hard to imagine that ever happening. Kirai paused, perfectly still in the middle of the vast garden, shrouded with silence. Her heart, although not beating, ached... Closing her eyes, the scene of her death played through her mind, all the emotions, all the pain, all the self confliction, and somewhere in this massive betrayal... the love. Her cheeks stung although no tears ran down them, as she whispered softly to herself, "We never actually fought... how could I have hurt him? Why did I let my emotions get the best of me, and cause such a mess, two hundred years after the fact?

Syndicate stood above the young dying male, perhaps twenty, on the ground. Poisoning. On the boy's neck were two holes similar to that of a vampire bite, yet clearly different. She smiled devilishly. "I'm ceaselessly amazed when you humans fall for such things. To think you shot your own lover-"

The boy suddenly croaked out, blood gushing from his wound, "SHUT UP! You told me she had been cheating on me-"

Syndicate kicked him in the gut, knocking the wind out of him and making him grow silent really fast. "Let me finish. You have a choice to make, you know... you don't have to die here. I can let you live... or, you can helplessly bleed to death and, upon dying and facing judgment, have to answer to the love of your life who you slaughtered so mercilessly." Stepping on his shoulder and turning him over on his back, Syndicate leaned down over him into his face, licking her lips. "So, what is it going to be?"

The boy looked up at her, clearly terrified, and horrified. But, amidst these emotions and his running thoughts, he suddenly came to a conclusion. His eyes calmed, a smile ran across his face, and he lowered his hand from pressing down on the wound on his neck. "Then... I'll die. Hell... must be a kinder place, than living with what I have done."

Syndicate's eyes went into a rage and, within a split moment, she held the boy's body up to her and had snapped his neck. Tossing his body onto the ground like a rag doll, his blood rested over the black and gold silk on her Chinese styled dress. Looking down at him, she clinched her teeth and hissed, slowly shifting down into a snake, "You sure were a waste of time." Once shifted down, she was a black snake with golden marks across her body. Slithering up to the body, she opened her mouth and began to devour him whole.

After finishing the meal, Synd slithered up to Loki and shifted back into her 'human' form. She chuckled. "He was the wrong type anyways... too much conviction."

Synd shot him a death glare and started hitting him in the arm, yelling, "Hey! Just because my last boyfriend was fifty years ago does not mean ANYTHING! I'm cute! I'm fun! And what about you!? When was your last girlfriend, huh?" She paused, and then gave a pouty look, gently tugging on his sleeve before again shooting a death glare and saying in an evil, mocking tone, "Benefit-buddies don't count."

Synd actually was laughing, and looked up at him grinning widely. "Yeah yeah! The disposable kind are always better!" Laughing, she scratched the back of her head and ran her fingers through her hair. Reaching into her pocket she took out a compact and flipped it open, looking at her own reflection. "Do you think I should change my hair? What are boys of this generation mostly attracted to now?"

Synd joined him, but instead of making anything, she simply peeled and gently, precisely ripped them apart. "Young blood is always good, they seem to loose more and more conviction with each passing era, making our job easier." She chuckled as she said this, obviously enjoying the thought. Placing a hand on her stomach, she continued, "That one was just bad luck."

Synd smiled and said, "Really?" Looking at her reflection in the compact, she liked the hat. "Thank's bro-" The compact slipped from her hand and fell to the ground, breaking the mirror inside. She let out an annoyed sigh, glaring at the compact on the ground. Bending down and picking it up, she pouted quietly to herself, "I just got this one, too..."

Synd acted annoyed when the water splashed onto her dress, but it was already stained with blood, anyways. Walking over to the pond, she bent over and looked down into the reflection. Tossing the shredded flowers in, she said in a sing-song tone, "I wish I wish I was a fish."
