Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Hm, I think I'll make her skin green after all. XD It's been a while since I've played Orisinal's games. I like the bumblebee one and the Fire Dragon. n_n; ))

With a lazy groan, Ikue got up from the floor and shut the door closed, plopping onto her bed after that. Now, time to remove those bandages! The girl undressed herself and began to unwrap the bandages, starting from her left arm. Her eyes widened slightly after she had unwrapped the bandages that were around her hand, a few rows of stiches across her fingers. What was this? Her skin was.. green? A pale green, actually, lighter than Frankenstein's. Maybe it was some kind of chemical or something, and it would wash off later..

The girl shrugged gently to herself and continued to unwrap those bandages, exposing more bare pale greenish skin marked with a few rows of stitches. There was now a pile of bandages on the floor, and after Ikue got dressed, the girl stood in front of the mirror. Well, at least she wasn't as hideous looking as Frankenstein. She didn't look hideous at all, actually.. It was only Ikue's skin color that has changed, along with all those stitches.. and maybe something else.

A small growl had erupted from her stomach. Ikue was hungry. Very hungry.

"Geeze, when was the last time I ate..?"

Ikue put on her gray and white sneakers, now dressed in a gray and orange striped sweater, along with a gray skirt. She realized that she was able to see without her glasses. It was nice of them to improve her vision, too. After closing and locking the door behind her, Ikue made her way downstairs and into the lobby. She didn't really care if some of the rows of stitches were exposed, or her pale green skin. It's not like anyone would really care.

The girl entered the dimly lit bar, which seemed almost empty, with only Eliza in there. Ikue blinked a bit and shrugged gently to herself, walking over to the bar's counter.

Eliza looked up, surprised to see another soul in the place. "Please don't turn on the lights!!" It was the first thing that came to mind. No,no, no.. her bat wasn't going to be hurt anymore!! "It'll hurt Francis!"

Once the faint panic had vanished, she offered the girl another one of her bright smiles. "Besides that, need anything?"

((-glomp!!-))

Ikue blinked, her attention fixing onto the lady, to the bat, and then back to the lady. The will-o'-wisps that were with her, which I almost forgot about, provided Ikue with a bit of light, but were as dim as the candles' flames. "Ah, I won't." The girl returned the smile. "I'm a bit hungry so I was gonna get myself something to eat."

Ikue moved closer to the girl to get a better look at the bat, her smile brightening a bit. "Heh, what an adorable little bat. What's his name?"

(( Hey Hana, Hey Jouji. n_n ))

(( omg.. -ish bawling- This soap is just frockin' amazing. Its.. its.. so out of the ordinary.. e.e Its.. A TRAGEDY!!))

Eliza smiled a bit, a fingertip brushing the little bat's head. "Francis, my little love bug. I call him that because he likes to cling onto me... and would rather be perched on my head or shoulder than in his cage."

The girl watched the animal suckle away at the silced oranges for a few moments before shaking her head, those bright-red spirals brushing against her cheek. "There are some sandwiches, fruit and soup..."
