Welcome to Gaia! ::

{Kyle : Red Rose -> Shipwreck Cove

Kyle stretched out in his bed, working out the kinks as he rubbed his eyes. He didn't want to get up and leave his bed behind. It was the best thing ever. But, as Midgardsormr continually reminded him, it was business time. Stretching out one last time and arching his back, Kyle got up and headed to the bathroom for a quick cleaning.

Patting his slightly damp hair down, Kyle walked out of the ship and stood with the group. Had he missed something? Why were they splitting. Well, somebody would eventually come along and ask. Hanging back from choosing, he tried to figure out who was going where.

{Bobbi .:. Shipwreck Cove .:. Red Rose, Girl's Bathroom >> Uppermost Balcony}

After a quick brush of both teeth and hair (the toothpaste tasted like cinnamon and mint, she was quite happy about it, and the mint didn't linger for more than a minute or so) and dunking her head under a cold spout from the tap, Bobbi felt a little more awake than she normally was before ten a.m. She could wake up all at once, but that usually required either an alarm clock, or her upstairs neighbors trying to break into her apartment through their floor/her ceiling. At least all that woke her up this time was footsteps and voices, which wasn't nearly as bad as wondering what caused the explosion.

...anyway.

After a brief stop at the kitchen to grab a few slices of lightly buttered bread with cinnamon and sugar and a glass of apple juice, the Archer followed the voices out to the balconies. She held her glasses in her right hand as she rubbed her eyes with the back of her wrist, and yawned hugely as she walked out into the morning light.

"Picking teams, huh?" she said, and punctuated the question with another yawn. "Refresh my tired brain, what's the splitting up for again?" She thought she knew the answer, but she wasn't sure which of her memories were real and what were dreams. It was kind of hard to tell anymore.

[ Ajora : Paris : In Bed ]

When she flipped him over and pinned him, his pupils dilated and his smirk grew.

"Bring it."

[Noelle ~ Shipwreck Cove ~ Balconies]

Noelle grew tense as others started showing up, feeling some relief as the subject was changed. She knew which group she was going with. Staying up top was pointless for her, she would just get in the way. There would be no earth to be had and agromancy would be difficult with just water. She would have to change her fighting style right off. Down below she would at least be of some assistance, being closer to sand and underwater vegetation. Before she stood from her seat she gave Riku a glance. All this talk about utilizing Darkness had her hoping to have some time to train a bit before they shipped out. Right then wasn't the time to ask, though. Too many of the others were around, and she wasn't ready for them to know just yet.

The agromancer stood, walking over to where Sora was standing as indication that she was going to Atlantica. She smiled at the others who had arrived; Dawn, Dani, one of their newest additions--Matthew, Sayrike, Kyle, and Bobbi.

"Essentially." Noelle affirmed what Sayrike was saying. "But take into account where you'll be able to help out most."

{Kyle : Shipwreck Cove : Balconies

"Morning Bobbi. Sleep well?" He asked as he stifled the yawn that was coming. Why were yawns so addicting? Thankfully, she asked the question that he needed answered.

Okay, well, that answers that. I could stay up here and help, but I can't really use my magic if I do. Which means Atlantica. Because rocks and stuff. His thoughts were reinforced by Noelle. He'd be useless without his element. Nodding to himself, he walked over to join the Sora group, nodding at Noelle. "Heyo. How's it going?"

[Zidane :: Shipwreck Cove :: Balconies]

Zidane yawned loudly as he entered with the others. He slept wonderfully; he had forgotten the soothing wonders of a bed. If he could, he'd bring a pillow with him to breakfast.

Although it didn't seem like it, the genome heard every word as he contemplated the sides before walking over to Riku. "Two battles huh? Sounds tough. I'll go where I can soar through the skies, I can traverse entire ships with my great acrobatics!" Zidane added in cheerfully as he pointed out his tail. No one was going escape his daggers.

[John.:Shipwreck Cove:.Balconies]

John stepped forward silently toward Riku. He had had his share of underwater adventuring and had really enjoyed his time. "I'm willing to take the challenge of the water being an obstacle... always wanted to be in a pirate fight too!" he laughed. There was an uneasy tension among the group again. It was the feeling that, again, someone might die in the next few hours. No one really knew who, and they all prayed nothing would happen... no one would be mauled and disfigured or psychologically scarred... they all prayed for the safe return of each and every one of them, not knowing if even the other group would be completely wiped out in a flash.

[Saint.:Caribbean Sea:.The Flying Dutchman

Saint dove under letting the saltwater sting his eyes to see the beauty of the ocean. The waters were clear and beautiful and he could at least admire the wildlife around him. When he had his share of the beauty, he began to climb the chain of the anchor and hoisted himself over the edge to hear Ashley speak.

"Well someone's a bit of a b**** in the mornin' ain't she?" he laughed as he made his way across the deck. He put his big wet arm around the shoulder of Ashley and forcefully pulled her toward him. All the while stark naked, Saint squeezed her and said, "She's a fiery little motherf***er ain't she now?"
