Welcome to Gaia! ::

Itaka stretched "Yeah besides you were the most exciting thing in my life at that point, no one else was really worth my time" he said glancing at his white hair that Seph played with "You like it?" he asked curious.

Mari giggled "She does not, she's kinda pretty" she said pointing at said elf and waving before blowing a kiss to her. The elf blushed (though it was impossible to tell) and looked at the ground while the nearby elves giggled a little at her. Mari smiled putting her hands on her hips "Well there you go, she might be a little curious about her sexuality" she nodded "We could see if we could get you her as a playmate in the afterparty" she said winking at Hebal.

Gilgamesh waved nervously to the nearby elves who cooed and awwed at his dog, Enkidu meanwhile loved the attention and happily walked up the ramp wagging his tail. "By Gods those girls love Enkidu" he sighed leaning against the door when he got in "Mind explaining why they are all here Barbaros?" he asked.

Barbaros nodded "Thats Hayate's unit we're going to be fighting with, the all girls thing is an added perk" he said lying down on the couch again.

Gilgamesh shook his head "It's made getting Enkidu here all the more difficult but does the fact they are all women not strike you as strange?" he asked taking off his leash.

Barbaros sighed "Not particularly" he said dismissively.

Oassu squinted "Hehe it's not that hard to figure out really" he said "I think thats probably her there" he said pointing to and elf in the crowd that seemed to be waving frantically trying to get Felina's attention.

Felina squinted trying to make out the elf who Oassu had pointed out. "Oh yes I think I see her now" she grinned waving back at her. "Would you like me to fetch her up so we can talk to her?" she asked him leaning over the railings to get a better look at her friend in armor.

Satoshi smirked poking Hebal back in the ear and giving her a hug from behind. "I didn't mean it like that. It's just not the type I would have thought you went for" she reassured her She let go of her and took a seat on the railings. "Bet Enkidu had the time of his life."

Hayate sighed reentering the airship. "Right I have put them on standby while we make whatever final preparations for the battle" he informed the remaining people in the siting room. "I also told them that you can be troublesome along with a few other things" he added with a smirk at Alpha.

Alpha nodded sitting bolt upright at the sound of the cannon fire. "We should probably go now but we can't exactly do anything to help them take the airships down. Still I guess they will have to send out foot soldiers eventually. So... which one of you guys want to have the pleasure of interrupting the love birds?" he smirked pointing to Seph and Itaka's room.

Seph smiled back softly kissing Itaka's chin. "Don't feel ashamed about it and why would Alex sweep me off my feet? He's an idiot" she stated getting up to look out the window to see where the cannon fire had come from. "I was wondering, when you say controlled do you mean you were just following his orders blindly or literally being controlled by him?"

Hebal grinned glancing down at Mari's armor. "Well it is rather bulky. I would hate to wear something so thick because it would be so hard to move around in. All you need is a helmet and you could pose as a boy." she stated jumping a foot into the air in surprise at the cannon fire. "Not good at all" she frowned standing on the railings to get a better look.

Itaka chuckled frowning at the sound of cannonfire "Sounds like its started still you think I'd follow his orders willingly? No he had control over me thanks to that little gem he carries with him" he shrugged "That wasn't a fun time," he said.

Oassu rolled his eyes at everyone's reluctance to disturb Itaka and Seph. He knocked on the door "Hey you two, you hear those cannons? It's time to go" he said sullenly quickly checking his jacket to ensure he was properly armed "I'm as ready as I'll ever be" he said.

Mari sighed patting her chestplate "You think? I think it feels fine on me but maybe I'm just used to it, plus I'm so strong" she giggled flexing her muscles "Still I'm ready" she said patting her chest and settling Sophia down on the table and putting Ivy down as well. "Now you and Cid are the oldest so you have to look after little Sophia ok?" she asked Ivy who nodded and said something in a high pitched yet soothing voice that wasn't in any common tongue. Mari smiled patting Ivy's head "Thats my girl" she said getting up.

Barbaros stood up picking up his cannon and strapping it to his back "Aye mon I'm ready" he said strapping his other equipment to his back. "OY JENNA! WE'S MOVIN OUT!" he called down the hall as a sleepy startled Jenna burst out of her room waving her sword about sleepily "Wha? Yea I'm ready" she said shaking her head and sheathing her sword "Time to bust some heads!" she said slamming a fist into her other hand.

Gilgamesh nodded clipping his helmet into place and reaching into various slots in his armour pulling out various weapons that had been slotted into the slots "Yes I'm ready. Enkidu!" he said turning to his dog who seemed to nod before sprouting scales that resembled armour on his body turning him into a much more fearsome beast. He glanced at a sleepy Jenna "I don't suppose we'll be waking up Master Zadina for this battle?" he asked.

Satoshi smirked waving at Seph as she finally emerged from her room. "How nice of you to join us in the end. Did you and Itaka have fun?" she asked forming a clone of herself to see what Hebal was doing in Zadina's room. "Give the kid room to breath Hebal, he isn't going to get better if you pounce on him" she laughed.

Felina smiled weakly patting Cid on the head. "Remember to look after the chocobos too. If anyone comes in who shouldn't feel free to attack provided you don't blow up the airship" she told the rabbit putting him down on the sofa before picking up her bow and heading outside.

Hayate nodded but first handed his flask over to Jenna. "Drink up. We don't want a repeat of yesterday with you falling asleep. We're going to be walking through that big flower field in order to reach our post" he warned her then stepped outside after Felina shouting to the other elves that they were ready to move out.

Hebal smiled sitting up so that she could bounce up and down on the bed "Good morning sleepy head. Yep it's time for us to keep moving and stuff" she told him getting up to fetch him his spell book "Come on come on everyone is waiting for you" she chirped pulling Zadina up from the bed by his good arm.

Alpha frowned and scratched his head while watching Hayate command the unit in elvish. "You know you're going to have to translate your orders to us or else we risk falling behing" he pointed out to him tossing the airship keys up and down in his hand while he waited for the others to clear out.

Seph shrugged and rolled her eyes at Satoshi "Yeah we had fun and stuff how about you?" she answered taking the drink from Gilgamesh "I better take some of this stuff too. All that pollen made me dizzy" she grumbled taking a drink pulling a face as she swallowed it. "Wow that stuff was foul" she complained passing it to Itaka.

Oassu smiled "Cid's so cute sometimes" he smirked before nudging Alpha "It's gonna be pretty hard to hit on them when they don't speak your language" he teased.

Itaka grunted drinking the substance he coughed a bit after swallowing it "That some potent stuff, I think I'd rather have faced the pollen" he shuddered. "We had fun but probably not the kind your thinking of" he said poking Satoshi before walking out the door.

Zadina yawned shaking his head "Thank you all I still feel a little dizzy but it was nice of you to wake me" he said leaning on Satoshi for support while grasping for his spellbook "That cookie was delicious" he said happily.

Mari smiled patting the boy on the head "Hope your ready but just stay behind us, we'll keep an eye on you" she told him "But stay away from the frontlines, can't have you getting hurt too much" she warned him.

Jenna rode out the airship on Boco clad in his armour he kwehhed happily "I hope Chobi is alright on her own" she told Seph as she passed, "But I need my trusty battle chocobo to fight with" she said hugging Boco.

Barbaros stepped down the ramp and into the crowd "Well Mr Commander what now?" he asked Hayate "Where are we headed?" he asked

"Wherever there is battle! Wherever there is conflict! Wherever the innocent elves are threatened we shall stand with them! That is where we shall be!" he told Barbaros causing a few of the soldiers to whisper excitedly in elvish. Enkidu howled in accompaniment with Gilgamesh's gesturing.

Satoshi laughed following Hebal out the airship and snatching the drink from Itaka. "Share and share alike" she grinned gulping some of the liquid down. "that was icky I hope you know so that thing better be worth it" she groaned beding over to scratch Enkidu's ears.

Felina nodded letting out a small squeal at Cid. "Thats our special little bunny, he's learning really fast" she giggled releasing Oassu's hand and making her way through the crowd until she reached Shizuka. She then pulled her through the crowd towards the group. "Guys some of you may have already met her but this is my childhood friend Shizuka" she introduced them.

Shizuka waved to the group shyly still somewhat surprised that she had been singled out from the rest of the unit. "Umm... hi. It's an honor to be fighting with you guys. Oh and it's nice to see you again Mr. Oassu and Miss Seph" she greeted them politely with a bow.

Hayate sighed nodding at Shizuka. "Yo it's been a while since I last saw you but now isn't the time to be catching up." he answered bluntly looking back at Barbaros. "We are going to be defending the western side of the forest from anything that comes at us from the ground so lets keep moving. We walk in front" he informed Barbaros noticing the rest of the group had left the airship.
