Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I thought that'd be Streak. Considering... You know... Him not being found captured in New Phoenix."

A.C. spotted Corellia as she was coming back from the kitchen. Her forehead creased for a moment before she broke out into a wide grin. She snuck around the edge of the restaurant as casually as possible, then leapt down off a dias an snagged an arm on Corellia's shoulder, her head on the other side. "Tsyoytyora, Core," she greeted her in a low and mischievous voice.

Corellia smiled over her menu and looked up. "Tsyoytyora, Sarli! You're looking old."

"You're looking young. What are you right now, about 15, 16? I'm 20, and it's been about, ohh..." A.C. thought a moment. "--three years. Here come sit and the guest table with me! Business is slow at the moment, so I can chat a bit and make sure your food's alright." She started to pull Corellia over to a booth in the back with a fern to hide it inside and a cloudy window to hide from outside. It was where the owners conducted business with their "private guests" and ate themselves when they were in the mood. There was no one there now.

Corellia resisted. "Oh, yet I've come with another, Sarlichen. Over yon booth, he speaks with an ancient fling or distant sister?" She pointed to Blitz.

A.C. raised an eyebrow. "Oh, I think neither. But I'll invite him, too, since he's a friend of yours. Blitz, right?" She wiggled her fingers. "Electric?" Snapping her fingers lightly, she caught the eye of one of the burlier "waiters" and pointed to Blitz, then herself, and jerked her head towards the table they were headed for.

He nodded subtly and walked up behind Blitz. "If you'll excuse me, sir, Miss Sarah would like you to join her and a friend at a private table," came his deep voice in a non-carrying tone.

"Of course you don't, and back when I was six was like a year or two ago." Ora shrugged, "It's not that much different from the villains and heroes of the past, and if I remember the stories correctly, you always liked to ride the line, never quite choosing a side."

She raised an eyebrow, "already collecting a fan club I see."

"Make money? for what? Power is power, Blitz, everyone is just seeking a different form of it. You may have been seeking money, but you still worked with the ones who were prepared for genocide. I don't need you to agree, I need you to assist."

"Then work against it." Ora smiled. "Help us fight against Phoenix, they're doing the same thing as us after all."

"They tried to be nice when they were in charge?" Ora asked with a bitter laugh. "My whole life, granted it hasn't been long, but my whole life I've been hunted like a witch. Have you ever thought we turn into what people expect of us? Do you honestly think that we would have the ability to 'set things right'? If someone doesn't take the power, another person will, maybe I'm just trying to take that power to keep myself from being beaten down like the rest." Ora sat back in her seat. "There's only one life boat and millions drowning, if you let them all on, then no one lives."

"Then I must be carrying on family tradition. I'd have been a fool to ever assume my fate was in my own hands anyway. So if you won't help us, Blitz, what do you intend to do?"

Ora shook her head, "There's no way I can get out of it, even if I wanted to." She tilted her head, "Didn't you always have bad luck with girls named Sarah?"
