The pirate girl giggled at Gaspar's sudden enthusiasm. So, she had guessed right. Well, at least now the Greed-thule would be in the mood to enjoy himself at least a little while he was here.
She turned to Carlos, his explaination of what happened to Lena only puzzling her more. She frowned, wondering if perhaps she had been right the first time and something was terribly wrong with Lena herself. Carlos had mentioned she was...'happy', but by then, Ty had learned if happiness was refered to as bad, it usually signified insanity.
Maybe I'll be driven to insanity with Lamar and Dyaus, she thought, more curious about it than gloomy, unless by human standards I'm already insane...I'm not sure you can measure sanity anyway... She smiled at Carlos speaking with the cute Ice thule girl who seemed to know the two boys after all. So many wonders...and so few humans see them...still, it's nice to have a little wonder in an era of such strict reality now and again...I'm not sure how anyone can live in this world very long without it unless they've been molded into the society...
Realizing she was thinking to much, she shook her head in an attempt to clear it, and just stood there, watching, but not really paying attenetion. Her aqua blue eyes were distant, and she became lost in her own thoughts once again.
Lamar glanced at Xia as she came over and leaned on him. For someone he had just met, she sure was bold with her actions, treating him as though he were an old friend. Still, he liked how she already seemed to trust him enough to consider him a friend.
"Nothing? No fun? That can't be true." the Sea thule watched Bao sympathetically, wishing there was something he could do to help as Xia explained. As their guardian, Ballentine, spoke, he nodded in agreement about something sparking an intrest in Bao.
"Maybe if we walk around a little she might find something she likes. Really?" He grinned enormasly at Balle's permission to take the girls around the museum. He didn't want to be stuck walking around with Dyaus running off this was and that. Lamar's expression was a great contrast from the sorrowful one he had been wearing just a few moments earlier. "Thank you, Miss! We won't go far, promise! And I'm pretty sure Xia and Bao know the way, with allt he maps they've been passing out, so I don't think we'll get lost."
"Um, Xia? Would you mind taking Bao's hand for me? I need to look at the map for a sec." In truth, Lamar just felt a bit uncomfortable about holding the hand of a girl he hardly knew, and thought it might be better if Xia stuck with her sibling. Speaking of which...where was Dyaus?! "Oh no!" Lamar groaned. "Dyaus ran off again...?! Where could he have -?! Ah ha!" A pair of white wings and long, blonde hair could be seen just around the corner in the food area, near a table called 'Everything Chocolate'. The sea thule shook his head. Leave it to his brother to go for the chocolate.
However, before Lamar could even make a move, the whole room seemed to move instead. It shook and trembled violently from beneath. The vibrations stopped after a time, but the left him a bit jarred and stunned. Recovering quickly, he turned to face the two thule girls. "Are you both alright?!"
Tymiko had her arms out, waving them wildly to keep her steady best she could, using the wall for support. Finally, the trembling ceased, and she breathed a sight of relief. What had caused that?!

Xia was more than glad to take Bao's hand, following along behind Lamar. "We gunna go find your brother?" Xia asked, already bouncing on her heals over the idea. "He nice too?" She asked with a large smile. But at the moment the floor started to shake, that smile disappeared into a look of shock. Arms quickly wrapped around her sister until the shaking stopped.
When Lamar asked if they were ok, she craked open her eyes that she had squeezed shut. Was she ok? "Ooooh! That was totally AWESOME! Let's do it again!" She cheered, releasing Bao's hand to once more glomp onto Lamar. "Didja do it?! I wanna do it again! It was like those rides outside the supermarket.!" Giggling madly she released her hold on Lamar to take off runing towards the basement as well. If everyone was going down there then it had to be fun right?
"Come on!" She shouted, grinning over her shoulder at Lamar and Bao.
Strangly enough, the shaking seemed to have gotten Bao's attention. The girl was just staring down at the ground intently. Silently, she crouched down and pressed her hand to the floor. But the moment soon passed, and she simply plopped her bottom onto the ground and sat there, watching the ground.

((Alrighty, and hope this is ok. >-> ))
The paper tugged lightly trying to escape the man's fingers as he read it. The wind was blowing against him today it seemed. First Ymir wasn't feeling well, it just turned out that he ate too much, then the twins wouldn't go to bed. It was a stream of one thing after another to stop him fro escaping the house. A stream which had ended when he shoved Tomonori in front of him and fled.
He had to go to this museum today, it was some open house thing. He hadn't wanted to be late, but he obviously wasn't being given that wonderful joy. Late was the only word that described the moment, seeing as how the thing had opened how many hours ago?
Quickly closing his eyes and continued walking toward the dress he'd scrawled on the paper after stuffing it into the bag at his side. Ah yes, the trust laptop bag, which was devoid of carrying the laptop. No, Raja would have had to unload all theother junk in there to stuff the device in. So it wasjust tossed under and arm if it ever needed to move, which was too often thankfully.
Finally, after what seemed an eternity he found the building and hurried up to the door and shoved it open. As he did he pulled out the silver device that served as his watch and hit the latch to open it. 1:17... It could have bee-
The area gave a sudden lurch which almost sent the feline sprawling on the floor. Through whatever grace he'd been granted his feet managed to keep to the ground and he only spent a few moments trying to reclaim his balance after the shake ended. Funny weather they were having, tremors weren't on the forecast. Still, he was late enough already, and the world was standing still again so...
He quickly started walking again, glancing around as he did. Where was he supposed to be going with this anyway?

Ballentine was still standing besides the desk, her eyes wide with shock. It was quite obvious that the large shake of the museum was NOT part of the plans. Her eyes were darting among the crowd that was beginning to panic, trying to find her own children in the masses. No such luck. "s**t..." She whispered and then smiled apologetically to someone she was speaking to as she stepped away and stood up upon a chair.
"EXCUSE ME! CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!" She shouted, glad as the area calmed down. "I'd like you all to please remain calm and where you are. Rushing for the door will only result in injury. We can all exit but please do not run! As you can see the guards are rushing downstairs to see what the problem is and I'm sure it was nothing more than a faulty generator! The festival will continue once this is confirmed!" That said she gave a small smile and a bit of a "Thank you!" before dropping back to the floor. Nervously she smoothed out her clothing and looked over at Saedare that appeared. They two exchanged words before the Thule wandered off.
It was only then that Ballentine noticed Raja and smiled softly. "Welcome to the museum. There's a bit of a problem right at the moment but I'm sure it will be settled in just a few moments. Please stay where you are for now until it's -" Though her conversation was cut off as yet another boom came from below, this time only half as powerful as before. She gripped the table and looked up at the lights as the power surgered a moment before fizzing out.
One by one metal grates on the windows began to slam down, causing another panic among the crowds as they made mad dashes for the doors. But the exits were locked. The museum was dark except for the emergancy lights around the doorways emmitting enough light to see a few feet around.
Once more stepping up onto the chair Ballentine raised her voice to get attention once more. However when she was ignored, a security guard handed her a megaphone which allowed her the volume needed. "ATTENTION PLEASE! The power has gone out and the museum is in lock down mode! This is for secuirty reasons, no one can get in and no one can get out until the power returns! Everyone PLEASE relocate to the main hall where flashlights will be handed out! I ask you all remain calm and join us here so we can do a head count and find anyone that is missing!"
(( at this point in the metaplot, if you're not inside the museum you're not going to participate. Those locked outside will have interactions as well, but if you haven't joined in by now then your SOL because it's too late to join now. ))

Chaos was never fun, neither was having people yell. And frankly, even if the feline had taken the shake rather calmly, some people hadn't. Thankfully it didn't last for too long and within a short time there was a woman yelling for attention. Well, she at least got his for the time being. Amber hued eyes watched her as she said explained the situation. Generators, that made sense enough, nothing to worry about then. As she said, it was likely over with, and rushing out would just mean getting trampled. If anything he'd just inch out of the crowd and let them freak out if they didn't listen, he was certainly less afraid of the ceiling falling down on his head than people running him over him if he got knocked down.
As he managed to get away from the main throng of people, who may or may not have decided to actually take the advice of the woman(he certainly hoped most did), he glanced back at the woman as he heard someone speaking to him. He returned the smile quickly and nodded at her comment, indeed, there was obviously a bit of a problem. Though as the ground shook again it was obvious that it might have been a bit bigger than he thought, even if this shake wasn't nearly as bad as the previous one. He dropped down into a crouch incase there was to be further issues as the lights flickered off. Feline ears fell back to lay low as he peered off at the windows as metal slammed down over them and people found quite quickly that there was no escape from the museum. Fabulous, he really didn't want to be in the front hall now. Not with all the panicked people.
It was a good thing he hadn't brought Laiou along like he'd previously planned.
Pushing himself back up to his feet as the woman began speaking again, this time with the assistance of a megaphone so to be heard over the chattering background noise of frightened people. Eyes watched as a new denizen darted by obviously on some unknown goal before turning his attention back to the woman.
Great, it was going to get even more crowded. It was definitely a good thing he hadn't brought Laiou along. He alone might have caused as much ruckus as ten people if he was stuffed in a dark room with too many bodies in it. Well, it wasn't as if he needed to worry, Laiou was at the house being watched by Tai. Which left him with dealing with the present issue.
Not being run over.
"Well, this definitely wasn't what I was expecting... but I guess it solves the problem with what I'm doing now." He just hoped this cleared up fairly quickly, too many people in a room was certainly far more noise than he liked dealing with. Besides, he'd come to a museum for a festival, not a game of sitting in the dark.

He hesitated as she called him and Bao over, then grudgingly sighed and took a step toward the basement entrance.
However, noticing Bao's unusual behavior, he watched her a minute, then knelt beside her. "Bao?" he inquired, gently nudging her shoulder. "Bao, we really need to get out of the way - " He cut off and managed to dodge a paniced guest running for the door. "-We need to get out of the way or we'll get trampled." Lamar spoke calmly despite the situation, unsure how the quiet thule girl would react. Taking her hand in his, he slowly tried to pull her to her feet. Amid the chaos, he failed to hear Ballentine's instructions and attempted to lead Bao toward the basement after her sister.
