Welcome to Gaia! ::

As she wandered the castle Yuki heard a blood curdling scream coming from the outside. Alerted, she attempted to find her way to the source of the scream. Somehow Yuki had found her way into the center courtyard but there was no one to be found. She could sense the presence of many within the immediate area, however the closes seemed to be... above her? Yuki looked up, unfortunately too late as a feline like woman landed directly on top of her, knocking her do the ground. "What...in the world..." Yuki struggled as the wind was knocked out of her.

Once the feline like woman was off of her, Yuki got to her feet and brushed herself off. The strange foreigner was quick to apologize and even quicker to offer assistance. Though the cyan haired woman really didn't need any, it was nice enough knowing that the woman seemed sincere. "I'm fine." she said coldly, though she wouldn't mean to sound so harsh. Looking to the skies where this strange woman seemed to have come from, by now there was no trace left of the gigantic maw that had once loomed above the castle. Very curious. This woman, who looked as if she were part cat and dressed in strange red garments, seemingly just fell from the sky. She had a pair of black wings protruding from her back as well. Though within a few moments they soon faded away, which Yuki found to be even more strange.

Who exactly was this strange stranger? From what world did she come from? Certainly not her own. "Who are you and what business do you have here." She demanded, again not meaning to sound as if it were a treat. Those who knew her would know that was just the way Yuki was. Straight forward and to the point. Though to those who did not know her, this would just seem like the attitude of a cold Ice Queen.

Miaka flinched at the cyan haired woman's cold demeanor. Never before had she met someone such as the woman who stood before her. Her eyes were like daggers that threatened to cut her poor Mithra neck! "Nyaaa~" she cried out in distress, "I-I'm... My name is Miaka Kono of the Federation of Windurst and I'm on a mission to recover my lost partner Lillisette so that we may continue our fight against the wicked Lady Lilith and save our future from being overshadowed by her future but then Atomos sent me here and I don't exactly know where here is! I'M SORRY!" the feline woman blurted out so fast that it would make one's head spin let alone let one be able to understand what she had even said. Every single word of it would be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. This poor feline didn't even have a clue how far away from home she was.

To the credit of the young girl, she was always so optimistic that she doesn't see anything bad or different about people. Even when it's obvious. "Hm, maybe I should get - opps!" The obvious flaw was that she was clumsy when she's being thoughtful. And somehow she tripped on the rug in the living room. The girl was rather quick about turning and placing a hand on the sandwich so that they wouldn't fly off the plate and smear jelly all over the furniture. Somehow, her landing spot was on the couch and part of her was on the lap of one of the people in the mansion. She blinked her bright green eyes up at him, looking confused, then sort of held up her plate of two sandwiches. "Jelly sandwich?" she asks innocently. It was... too damn adorable.

Miyuki was in the living room as well. Since her run-in with Clyde, she and her sister had lived there. The two didn't do much of anything for AVALANCHE, but she and Ai did everything except play Cat and Mouse together, for obvious reasons. Speaking of which, Ai herself was playing with the stuffed mouse doll Miyuki had given her for Christmas. Ah, the older sister loved to watch her play with it. It'd taken forever to find it, but it was worth it. Anything for her smiles.

Malice and the others had made it, finally, to AVALANCHE Mansion. Yes. Yes. Clyde would finally die... He knocks at the doors, putting on a kind smile, hiding his malice.

"The door." Miyuki spoke out, getting up. She answers, and... Did Clyde dye his hair?! And where the hell has he been?! She punches him in the face, sending him a good few feet backwards as she steps out. "Just who the hell do you think you are?!" she snarled! "You think you can just leave me an' Ai alone for so long?"

"Oh, I'm Hikaru, I came back from looking for my missing mom," the pretty black-haired girl said as she smiled up at him, still holding the plate in her hands and all, though she then rolled off, still not one bit embarrassed. Hikaru was innocent to the point that hitting on her doesn't stir one bit of negative reaction from her, though one supposed that if you tried to 'feel her up', she would actually react to the point that the guy would be knocked off his feet and unconscious. Just from thinking that she was in danger. She grinned when he introduced himself then said that he hoped that none of the heartless hurt her. "I was in Midgar when they came, but I'm alright!" she said, not boasting that she could actually fight. In fact, she had, but she wouldn't think that someone would think her helpless until they said so. She looked at Ike and smiled, now sitting up and looking at him from a normal angle. "Nice to meet you Ike!"

Miaka covered her head as if she were about to be hit, though she was soon distracted for it seemed someone was entering the courtyard they were in. Peaking around the cyan haired woman to see who it was, there behind Yuki there was a very strange woman with silver hair and golden wings. "Ahhhh! Sooo pretty!" she exclaimed,hHer trail swishing from side to side as she stared in awe.

Yuki turned to see who was joining them, "Ah, Lia. So you decided to-" she started but then cut herself short. "Wait...Rosa?" The differences were subtle yet unmistakable. Unless one were colorblind. This time it was the Rosalia of this world and not the alternate Rosalia. Thank god there were indeed differences or she'd have to rely purely on her ability to sense lifeforces and even that wouldn't be very reliable. "Ah... You've grown into quite a fine woman haven't you." she tried to recover her composure, no need making her feel awkward after all these years with tales of having met her doppelganger.
