Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'm okay..I think it's time to retire this dress though," Heidi replied with a sigh, looking all around at the hunters and other restaurant guests. Everyone was okay. Otto, Jordan, Wash and um...Sasha? "That was...the craziest thing ever.." Crazier than their doll mission for sure. She finished her sprite and them have the floor a quick glance. It was still a floor.

Heidi quietly brought her legs up to sit cross-legged in her chair, her feet far from the floor.

"...Some of the older hunters don't look very bothered by any of this," Heidi observed with amazement.

Gnat gave Peyton a wide, reassuring grin that didn't quite reach her eyes. She was scared too, and she tried not to show it. It was ok - whatever had happened while she had been blinded had, well, unhappened. Everyone was still here.

Still alive.

Be feared, but do not fear.

She ignored Edward and squeezed Pey's hand back.

"Nothin', we're ok now," she replied to Evan. She started to go for his hand too, thought better of it, and pinched the side of his bottom while maintaining a serene expression.

Then she waggled her eyebrows at Tuck and his little dinner companion. Heh heh heh, they said.

Otto polished off his food easily. He stared at Nevada's plate.

"....you finishin' that?" Hey, he's a growing boy! Need his fuel. Maybe he should have asked if she was okay though?

"...S'okay, you still look hot n' stuff."

Nailed it.

Before Sasha could even realize what had happened everything had shifted from muted gray to brilliant color. It took her a moment to gather her bearings. The daggers she carried were still strapped high on her thighs, and she brushed her fingers against them before glancing at Wash.

"I need something stronger to drink, I think."

"Yep its not much and really only one day a month for trainees, you get more as you move up the ranks but I really do just like the one day off to just have fun. Well we will have to remedy that soon enough," Tori replied as she was trying to not listen to her weapon as Aklin tried to give her advice as he also chuckled while giving it to her.

Tori quietly listened to what Matt was telling her as it was all interesting. "Well there is a library that you can visit and check out books or I would let you borrow some books in my own collection," she answered and had to wonder if he would like as she really did have all many types as she wasn't being denied subject that her mother had not aloud in her old life.

Then the waiters brought in the food and it looked all good and she was getting more hungry. But just as she was picking up her fork to take a quick bite to eat before answering Matt question. There was a mass of tentacles, spiked tentacles, thoughts raised right to the tentacle monster that she had dealt with in the Antarctica and she did not want at all. Tori didn't want any more nightmare, but everything was over in blur of the others fighting this creature and Aklin not too happy that he didn't get to fight and Tori just rolled her eyes internally at him.

Oh hell no Tori thought as this was so very similar to the time when Death had them replay the same time a few times over to get things right to what he wanted to happen and she did think of that slip of paper hidden in her journal. Sighing oh well what done is done and Tori did have to think were there going to be more surprises like that on this mission. Now Tori really did think it might have been a good idea to have ordered some wine.

"I'm fine Matt," Tori answered him in a soft voice as she looked down at her now a somewhat battered dress. "To answer you question on what I like to do is lots and lots of reading. As it was the only pleasure I had even if I didn't get to read everything I wanted to, it was all I had that I wanted to do,"

Wash was looking at Jerry, about to comment on his request for alcohol, when Sasha spoke up. He sighed.

"A whiskey sour then, or Southern Comfort if you have it."

Peyton didn't look okay. In fact, she seemed kind of shell-shocked, which was perfectly understandable given the circumstances. After all, it wasn't every night that they were suddenly attacked in the middle of dinner and then, just as suddenly, had things revert completely back to normal. That was more like a Monday kind of problem.

Evan gave Peyton a sympathetic smile that turned into surprise; he twitched in his chair as Gnat pinched him. He shot Gnat a look that was more fond than reproachful as he shook his head. "Yeah, you're just fine."

He finally turned towards his plate, but not before he caught the attention of a passing waiter. "We're gonna need three glasses of your finest bourbon, right here," Evan said, gesturing to indicate himself and the other two Suns. "I think we've earned it."

Sherry was wearing her concerned face as she added the offered dessert to her line up of food. Jake didn't look hurt, well, not anymore than he already was, but he didn't look well. "You sure? Let me know if I can get you anything."
She couldn't blame him for being tired, not after whatever that was. Jake would feel a soft pat on his shoulder. "You should probably try to eat, or at least drink some water."

Sherry was assuming the food was safe. It had to be safe, since she was totally eating her prawns. They were pretty tasty, too.

Turning to her other side she asked, "How's your food, Ofie?"
