Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fai just shrugs his shoulders to the question, looking around the area and seeing what looked likely. "Well, we can't just go up and ask someone if they know where the feather is. How about we see if any of the lord's men are here, and try to trick them into giving us some information?"

Ayumi sighed, "Well, I guess you're right, Syaoran-san. Besides it'd be a waste of time looking around this huge building anyway..." she signaled to Mizuna and the rest of her group to come out to the meeting area. She looked to Sakura-hime and then to Syaoran, "Ne, Syaoran-san...carry Sakura-hime onto Mirielle's back, she can rest there on the soft feathers while waiting for the rest of the group to come back." Ayumi told him as she transformed her pet bird into it's larger form.

She then stood there with Fai and Syaoran, listening to their plans. Ayumi nodded looking at Fai in reply to his idea. True, it'd be far too suspicious to ask directly about the feather. Then Ayumi looked at Syaoran now sitting on a bench right next to her side and noticed his slightly surprised expression, "Did something startle you, Syaoran-san?" she asked curiously.

((sorry for the long post sweatdrop ...trying to keep up with you all @_@))

((Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been around much but I have been uber busy. For the next week I am going to be on vacation so I won't be around. Please RP my character as needed! Sorry about this, I'll bring back pictures! ^^ ))

((gomen nasai! I was on a trip to my gpa's - with no comp - and then to Otakon! Gomen Gomen! I forgot to let you all know! gonk ))

Hana sighed and smiled at Fai and Hakurie as they walked off to the Weapon's Shop. As she held Mokona, she wandered around the square. She then noted a man holding out newspapers and thought that it might be a good idea to get an idea about the news! Hana then proceeded to pick up a copy and sit on a bench. With Mokona with her - she patted it upon the head - she was able to read the text.

The major headlines were ... Rebels Found to Be Wandering the Streets! Be Wary and Show Them No Mercy!, Skeleten Attacks Worsen! Make sure to stay inside at night! The Earlier you Go Home, the Better!, and There Will Be a Ball at the Castle Celebrating Emperor Huo's First Year!. She decided that it'd be good to bring this to the other's attention that they have been noticed and that they should be extra careful not to bring up suspicion and also about those skeletons! What were they to do! Nighttime is the best time to be sneaky! Hmmm...

And what about that Ball... maybe that can be of some help? Just then, ((Sorry Mokona)) Mokona chimed "2:45 pm!" Hana then gathered up the paper to read later and went to find all the others. It was time to rendezvous with the rest of the group who went to the library!

She then proceeded to find them at the weapon store concocting a plan to trick a guard. She looked at them while pointing to the article in the newspaper. Guards normally aren't so smart... but still? Should they bring attention to themselves? Hana then told them, "2:45 pm." However, Mokona quickly spoke up and stated ((sorry again Mokona)) "2:50 pm!" Hana smiled and gave Mokona a friendly poke and asked, "Would have time for plan?"

((Sorry again all that I was gone for so long! sweatdrop I hope you didn't hate me b/c I played you Mokona! I was just trying to make up for my long absense! Whoo... reading all those pages was amazing! I'll try to keep up now, but I'll be moving into my dorm on Tuesday! I'll try to get set up soon so I can keep in touch! whee ))

Ayumi smiled at Syaoran, "She didn't fall when Mirielle dived down from the rooftops earlier--Mirielle's a responsible and loyal friend--not to mention a smooth flyer. If you want, you can ride on Mirielle too to make sure Sakura-hime will be safe."

Hana smiled at Hakurie and pointed to the text once more while Mokona was with her. With Mokona this text was able to be read! Now Hana couldn't write the text, but hey... she could read it with the help of Mokona!

However, before heading out, she waited for Fai's answer. Fai's a smart man and might be able to pull off such a trick. Hakurie is smart too so if they work together, it should work out! But if only they had the time!

"Ron ..... de ... booo now?" (rendezvous - sp?)

Mirielle let Syaoran on by lowering her head so that he could get on her easily. She remained on the ground, awaiting for the rest of the group to start moving. Meanwhile, Ayumi walked around the meeting area and came across Hana reading some sort of huge paper (newspaper as we call it). She smiled and waved to Hana, "Hana-san!" she called to her as she began to walk over to her. I wonder what she's reading...it looks like it could tell us something to help in our mission to get Sakura's feather!
