Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Aw, she hasn't changed that much, just grown up into the not so innocent adult, she can't stay naive forever. She became one person again, so you've got to remember she still has all those good and bad personalities smooshed into one. ))

(( Indeed we did! 3nodding ))

He didn't have time to react to the sudden grasp of his right arm. He tugged but was only tugged back, tugged closer then he ever wanted to be with this woman. The sudden burning sensation in his flash caused his eyes to grow large and the spirals that were his pupils to dialate. "Ah.." He began to gasp trying to yank away as she spoke those words to him.

Being tossed away he immediatley grasped his wrist gasping then biting his tongue in pain. "W-What the hell did you do to me?!" He demanded looking up from the mark. It was some sort of incantation, the sort Faith had used with her chaos magic. It was times like this he hated being mortal, completely powerless to those whom were stronger then him. Hopes that Karu would step in if anything more physical were to happen flared up inside him. "What does this symbol mean?!" He demanded once more.

Karu growled with disappointment for the girl. She shook her head, for once letting her true feelings be seen in her eyes. A touch of sadness and hurt glittered her eyes, but it was mostly disappointment she felt. "I thought better of you Faith, but maybe I was right with my original thinking. Perhaps, I never really had a friend in you." Suddenly her eyes widened as Faith's sister closed in on Gippal. She cried out, "Stay away from him!" but her voice fell on deaf ears. By the time she had reached Gippal, he was already released. Karu wedged herself inbetween the two and held Gippal back, glaring at the woman who dared to even touch one of her friends. In a low rumble of a voice she threatened the woman. "You had better answer the man, or you'll have one less of a face." One ear perked on her head, the sudden sesation of an old friend filtered into the back of her mind. She quickly pushed it aside, thinking it impossible for him to even be here. Beside, which was more important right now? An old sceret love, or protecting Gippal and Teri?

((*tackles Dark* yeah!!! heart btw we're on the shipness!))

Gippal's heart sunk and his stomach tied itself into knots. "A curse..?" He was close to speachless. His gaze turned to Faith who turned away and so he looked at his arm, at the symbol. Determine he pulled a knife out of his back pocket and began to carve a symbol overtop of the incantation. Maybe he could neutralize it with his own blood, just maybe. Throwing down the knife he drew the rest of the symbol with his finger and attempted to activate the symbol. His arm glew green as both symbols activated, the Al Bhed clutched his arm in pain fighting back a scream.

"Argh!!" He fell to his knees with his other arm supporting him from landing face first. Gasping, Gippal growled looking back up at Sarai. "You b***h."

(( The ship is in the forest/woods or whatever they are not to far from Karu's Mansion. ))

Nathan checked his radar then brought up a map of Kasudo infront of him. Although the map he looked at was old, she still had the mental picture of the large mansion in his head from the satilite picture. He knew his sister's becon had disapeared was coming from somewhere near there. Using his fingers he moved the holographic map to his right and kept it there just in case he needed it once more.

Switching gears he put his pod on a high enough speed that he could control without running into trees. "Almost there." He muttered to himself.

Sarai laughed with a smile on her face, "Oh you don't want to play with me love." She tapped the symbol on her cheek, "I've got the power of the gods on my side. But, if you wanna play anyway." The woman flicked her curls and reached behind her pulling two large fans from her back. At the tip of each spine was a razor blade and incantaion symbols were carved into the outside of each fan. She pointed one at Karu adn opened it slightly, "Silly little mutt, I don't want to fight you, I just want to use you. Now be a good little puppy and do as you're told."

"No!" Faith growled grabbing her sister's arm taking one of her fans just as easilly as she had once pick-pocketed. She opened the large fan and placing her hand on the back of it while the intricet design of incantaions faced her sister. "You will not fight her." She pointed the fan at karu, "You will not fight her either. If either of you try and lay a hand on one another then You'll have to deal with me. Both of you are stronger then me, you in your demon form Karu, and Gwen you're strong alone. If you kill me again then you both lose."

"...Well isnt this a fabulous little party we're having?" Einji stood, leaning in the doorway of the room, arms crossed over his chest, having found it easily enough after boarding the ship. He had been standing there for several seconds, his eyes scanning everyone in the room expertly, taking in the jest of the situation. He turned his cold obsidian eyes upon Sarai, his tone mono yet harsh all at the same time. "..I dont know you, but your already pissing me off....A terrible, terrible thing to do...."

He leaned forward, arms uncrossing as his hands slid into his pockets. "Here's an idea....Leave now, and I'll consider pretending that I did not see you here...if you wish to remain in good health..." He chanced a sidelong glance at Karu, a smirk creeping into the corners of his lips. "...And since when did you go around letting pathetic demons, inner or not, control you? You've gone soft, Mistress Ru..."
