Welcome to Gaia! ::

While Danny was busy talking to Michi Roch turned and walked a few feet away, pulling up Rikki's phone number on the screen. He waited patiently as the phone rang, then grunted as the voice mail came on.



Then he hung up, and looked for who he should call next. Not Amrita, the sushi might bother her...

Danny turned to Michi for FIVE seconds, and look where that had gotten her. First, Michi ran off to go play with Alex. Danny would've followed, but somehow she didn't think Alex liked her very much. Even after explaining the whole "I won't hurt you with my fire" concept, he still seemed rather wary of her, for reasons she wasn't really aware.

During that time, Roch had walked off and started talking on the phone. All she caught were the words "Rikki" and "recording." Whatever that meant, Danny was extremely on edge. Danny didn't HEAR him say anything about inviting Rikki down, but she also missed half the conversation.

Danny was on red alert. She came by Roch's side again and said, "S-So who was that?" she said awkwardly, though she already guessed who it was. Please don't let it be an invitationnnn.

Danny let out a sigh of relief. Rikki hadn't gotten the message, whatever that was. Well, he would later, but at least she didn't have to see him. That would just be super awkward, and Danny didn't want to have to deal with him. She was itching to explain it to Roch, but really didn't know how.

"This hat?" she said with alarm. Suddenly her hair took precedence over whatever problems she was having in her love life (or lack thereof). "UHH. I like hats now. Yup."

Dear Sweet Sally, don't let him-

OH DEAR JACK HE HAD TAKEN THE HAT OFF AND NOW EVERYONE COULD SEE AND OH GOSH OH GOSH-

She snatched the hat out of his hand and threw her hair back in it, looking around to make sure no one had seen that. Roch'd found out though, so there was no point in keeping it a secret. The cat was out of the bag; rather, the hair was out of the hat.

"I ... accidentally sorta cut it," she said. She then explained the fight with Demi, and how her hair had ended up so hideous, in minute detail.

She held the back of her neck with a hand and said, "Yeahhh ... I just haven't gotten it fixed yet. I will. Maybe. Eventually."

Michi was fortunate, as the zomboils had not wandered far from their original position - though even at their fastest they probably would not have gone far in the short time it took her to chat with Roch and Danny. Mort had, after listening to Alex's explanation, merely nodded and snatched a skewer of raw meat himself, chewing thoughtfully until he heard the demoness calling after them.

He turned to answer back (albeit with some meat in his mouth), but a red envelope slapped him in the face. Grabbing it before the wind blew it away, Mort awkwardly opened it with his free hand and creative use of his mouth, making a face when he found nothing before tossing it over his shoulder and returning to finishing his meat skewer. Oooooh, he could taste the blood, maybe even hear the original sound this meat used to make.

"Asides meat n' random letters? Nope." He licked leftover juice off his lips before wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. "What supposed do? Shows, fights, wanders? Or m-more like carnival?" Mort just wanted a purpose and to follow it; less time to think.

Alex had finished off the meat on one skewer, and then another, and was quickly devouring a third when Michi returned to them. He graced her with a large smile, though he glanced back to where she came from. "Who's being a jerk? Do you need me to do something about it?"

He so obviously did not want to do anything about it.

"Oh well! Back with the cool kids now!" He grinned, putting an arm around her shoulders and giving her a quick one handed hug. Jack but she was really hot to the touch! He quickly released her and finished off his skewer.

"Oh hey..where did I put my skateboard?" He muttered, being prone to just forgetting that he even had it and leaving it lying all over the place. He caught sight of it not too far off with a few coins sitting next to it. Curiously, he wandered over, and tried to pick up a few, but they just crumbled in his hand. Raising an eyebrow, he shook his head and picked up the skateboard, trudging back over towards the others with it tucked in under his arm.

"I don't mind, I'm easy! We could try out some games, maybe?" He shrugged, not really caring what they did next.

"I think there's games somewhere around here that we can check out. I know there's a spot for you to try and snag some pets... I just failed horribly not too long ago. And no Alexander, I promise I'm a big ghoul. I don't drag others into my messes."

But that was where Danny and Roch were. Michi didn't like the idea of retreating back there even with two boils in tow. She was distracted by a moment by another pile of gold coins... which crumbled at her touch. Frowning slightly she turned towards Mort and Alex only to be cut off by what could only be called an adorable ghoul walking up to them with another boil in tow who apparently knew the two she was rolling around with.

"Why hello there!" Alright, so Michi liked pretty ghouls. She wasn't completely sure about this one because adorable came to mind first. Was she attracted to adorable? The smoke demoness wasn't quiet sure. "Your dress looks so lovely! My name is Michi." Clothing was pretty high on Michi's note worthy list. She loved good clothing.
