Welcome to Gaia! ::

Amnity smiled as they entered the cinema, she was shocked though as Laviatar wanted to see Rise of the dead IV. Wow...I thought I'd be stuck with a corny love movie... They took seats in the theater, she her eyes glowed in happiness as she saw people's heads being ripped off. The soldier didn't really mind the scary or violent parts, for she probably preformed those moves on actual people. She chuckled lightly every time Laviatar would hide her face behind her, and she would just gently stroke her newly cut hair to calm her down.

After they watched the movie, Amnity walked down the street with her friend, trying to find a good movie store. She noticed how cold it had gotten, and that Laviatar was only wearing the tank top she had given her. Gently, she took off her black jacket and draped it on her friend's shoulder. "Lets go to this movie store...I'm not really good with movies...We saw enough violent movies for today...so lets buy some comedies..." She winced a bit. "...Maybe even a romance story or 2....."

The soldier came into a store with her friend, handing her her sunglasses so no one would make fun of her. As Amnity looked through the shelves of movies, a group of guys had approached Laviatar, asking her how she was or what she was planning tonight. Amnity's blood boiled in her skin, trying to refrain herself from going crazy. She grabbed a few comedies rather angrily as she glanced back at the boys. They were now getting a bit closer to her, trying to talk her out of taking off her sunglasses. A boy reached out and tried to grab the sunglasses from Laviatar's eyes, but Amnity was right next to him, quicker then a flash. She grabbed the boy's wrist, her grip tight enough to have snapped his hand. "...Don't...Touch her..." She tried to make her voice sound calm, but it probably wasn't. "Where they bothering you Laviatar?"

Aki finally stopped, leaning against the alley wall. She remembered a song her mother had taught her when she was little, singing it as a lullaby. She started singing it softly, barely audible. "Empty spaces - what are we living for.
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score.
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for...
Another hero, another mindless crime,
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime.
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore.
The show must go on.
The show must go on, yeah/
Inside my heart is breaking,
My make-up may be flaking,
But my smile still stays on." She fell silent, looking down at the ground.

Aki pushed herself off the wall, murmuring something under her breath before she went to try and find Ray. She needed to talk to him, to have a reason to stay. She smiled faintly, hearing Miri's voice tell her where he was. She turned and headed for the library, silently moving up to where he was. "Ray?" she asked softly, watching him.

Ray had been slightly preoccupied reading through the book, still murmering random spells,"αφήστε τη ροή μαστιγίου μέσω σας, μην την εκδώστε, να την ελέγξεϊ", when suddenly he heard Aki. He slowly and casually turn to her, closing the book. With a look of concern on his face, he inquired "So, I assume the mayor wasn't to happy finding out you were working with us. There isn't a lot I can say, other then this: remember, what we're doing is akin to war, things will have to work this way eventually. It may be better that you got out of there when you did, had you been discovered at a different time, you might have been imprisoned. So, what would you like to ask?".

"I'm going to return my books to the library. Do you need anything while I'm gone?" Aiva asked Terra once they had finished packing. Terra hesitated before speaking. "Could you pick up some spell books?" Aiva looked at her sister with a hint of curiosity. Terra had never shown any interest in magic, and since it was highly likely they were going back home with their mother, she wouldn't need it any time soon. Aiva temporarily pushed those thought's aside; she could ponder things later. "Of course." Without another word she grabbed the two books she had checked out from the library and left.

She walked down the street, not really paying attention to where se was going. She had gone to the library so many times she automatically went there. She was trying to give herself reasons that Terra wanted to learn magic, but at the back of her mind she knew the answer. No… she wouldn’t do that; she’s not stupid. Aiva mentally told herself. She shook her head and returned to reality. She realized that Ray and Aki were about twenty feet ahead of her. She continued walking until she was about five feet away from the two and then stopped. She wanted to talk to Ray but she didn’t want to interrupt his conversation, so she stood there silently.

(( Just a little heads up that I'll be gone till the 8th, 5 days. 3nodding ))

Ray laughed a little at this. Somehow, this fact hadn't concerned him much, though he had already thought about it. Thinking through what he was about to say, he shrugged and said "Yeah, I suppose that much became obvious during that last little disaster. Not much can be done for it, and you shouldn't blame yourself for it, she would have thought the same regardless of you being there or not. Besides, what good does it do her to know? If the police, or any other suspicious agent of the government starts snooping around after me, she'll start a war with the remaining populace of this city."

Grinning, he pointed to himself and said "I've rooted myself so deep into so many crowds around the city, her going after me would be just the thing to motivate our own full out strike. If she decides to do a background check on me, what little traces of me there are on record, would show I'm quite a busy guy, so she will hopefully know better. Why do you think I never concerned myself over the issue of being discovered? Unless she finds someone who could kill me in under three seconds, then get rid of the slightest bit of evidence, she has no hope of ridding me without it being discovered. There are no guarantees that would work either.".

Reaching onto his belt, he handled the HPPC for a moment, and put it into Aki's hands and said "Here, it's like a computer and a cell-phone, but it can do a LOT more then that. It's pretty neat if you figure out how to work it. It runs on a secure network, so use it for whatever you want. If you decide you want to stick around here, a guy on there, my brother, can connect you directly to me. If you decide to leave, think of it as a parting gift, and my bro will still show you how to use it.". Not being so absent-minded not to notice Aiva, he turned after handing off the gift, and scanned Aiva quickly before conversing with her "Wassup? What brings you to the library, this place has been unusually busy lately."

Aki may not have known how to work the HPPC, but she knew who she'd wind up calling. Well, actually, he'd wind up contacting her. As Slyrin sat at his immense computer from which he operated from, he saw that 'Ray' had switched his HPPC on. Slyrin knew he'd be needing a lot of help operating it, so he flipped open a secure connection, then appeared on the screen of the small device. To his surprise, he wasn't looking at Ray, but Aki, whom he'd never heard of or met before. he sat there in a slight state of shock for a good couple of seconds, before piecing together the most likely solution. Deduction was one of his talents, as it was Ray's. "So, Ray finally handed out one of the HPPCs finally?Well, might as well deal with pleasantries. Hi there! I'm Slyrin, Ray's brother. Well, half-brother, to be more exact, we shared a mother, but we stuck together for so long we just call each other brothers. So, what can I do for you?"
