Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ethan chuckled at that and rubbed his chin saying," You know. I bet that would happen. It'd be hilarious." He laughed to himself with a kind smile and when she gave him permission to use the oven he smiled and got out the pan thingy and started to make Blueberry muffins and chocolate chip muffins, figuring not everyone like blueberry flavored things and he smiled saying," Or. What if someone totally unexpecting ate a slice, like Cloud. Or Squall!" That would make it even more amazing.

"So what do we do now, Brother?"

Zola sighed, staring at a notepad beside him. "You mean with the bakery or Shiinia?"

"...Pretty much everything..." Riotala let out a sad breath. "To start, Calico and Clyde have broken up.. And the latter practically disappeared from Midgar. The depths of the darkness tell me he has been simply wandering, and covering his tracks fairly well."

"...You know, for once, I'm worried about him.." the emerald-haired man shakes his head. "He does travel a lot, but he's never done that before... Where's calico..or, Bainz?"

"The first has stationed herself in her hometown of Kalm, while the last is even harder for the shadows to find... Suppose this is a good thing. After all, the Praefectorum seem to be a type of mercenary between worlds..."

"..And Shiinia's condition?"

"...Well... She may know you."

Zola blinked. "..How?"

"I'm not sure.. The darkness feels an out of place energy on the girl... It almost feels like you, Clyde and Calico put together.. But I gave her a few things to draw with, to try and cheer her up. She ended up drawing a stick figure with green wings."

He groans lowly. "Of course. Anything else before I go indulge the kid?"

"....There are multiple, clashing threats in the foreseeable future... The Praefectorum's enemy are letting their presence be known... And then there is...A man named Ryousuke..."

"I'll deal with that later... Just like naming our bakery."

Ethans ears twitched when he heard the knocking and he had just turned the stove on and he smiled kindly as he turned and he looked to Vincent after saying," Yeah I guess so." And he gave a kind smile to Vincent before saying," Hey Vincent. How are you?" He wiped his hands on a wash cloth and the got the powder off his cloths, before looking to him," I do hope everything okay?" he was continuing from Sephrieas words, and added," Are you here to see Lucrecia?" He had been learning more things, but his voice was all the same kind. He cocked his head curiously.

"How did that turn out? Any trouble? " She asked him, curious as to what he may of found in his time away. "You know...With...certain people out there, I don't know if it's really a good idea for you to go out alone..He's still alive, isn't he? " The way she said he, it was no question about just who she meant. Hojo, of course. "Just be careful..." She added softly, it wasn't as if he couldn't handle him self, he was not weak. It was the tricks these scientists always seemed to have up there sleeves, that worried her most.

Vincent looked back at Sephria when she asked him to be careful. "Don't worry, I'm always watching out for him. He's actually the one I was looking for leads on, but Hojo's been hiding his tracks very well." He said. It was true, a lot of the time he spent out he spent hunting down Hojo and his many clones, trying to rid the world of that menace forever. Unfortunately, the man had gone underground, both literally and figuratively, and locating an underground base that never opens to the outside is a very tricky task. "No, there hasn't been any trouble except a couple of minor mishaps with people. Nothing serious, just a misunderstanding."

And she forgives me, even if I do not forgive myself...

The young teen got out the finished muffins now and was eating one quietly as he listened to them. He didnt really have much to say, usually when someone like Vincent, someone who Ethan felt was beyond awesome was around. He just never had anything to say. He did thought think of one thing to say," Most people we know tend to have a lot of those Misunderstandings, especially those like Cloud and Zack."

While he didnt say anything, Vincent appreciated the support from Sephria about finding Hojo. It always made him feel a little bit better that he wasn't the only one who wanted the... man roasted over a slow fire. "It was nothing serious, a innkeeper did not realize I was standing there, and unlike most, he reacted with a gun rather then with words." Vincent said, which was pretty much the summary. After all the disasters happening in this world, it wasn't a big surprise that more and more people were keeping weapons close at hand all the time now. As Lucrecia spoke from behind him, his gun hand didn't even twitch, which it usually did when people sneak up on him, although whether this is because he already knew she was there or he had become a bit less paranoid nobody would know. Vincent looked down slightly as Lucrecia hugged him from behind. "...It's been a while."

And she forgives me, even if I do not forgive myself...

After having left in a state of confusion when she was left to her own by Kefka, Rinoa had began to head into Midgar's direction. She had completely passed up Kalm, something dark in her mind told her she wanted far more destruction then just one small town. But what if what she attacked was not just the city of Midgar, but a very important area? A place all of Avalanche had mainly resided. Their head quarters. Avalanche Mansion. No one had known of her current state, but Terra and she didn't seem to be there in Midgar.....yet.

Her advantage was great. No one would suspect the danger approaching the peaceful mansion.

And soon, the doors opened suddenly. Calmly walking inside down the long hallway, the blue-clad sorceress made her way into the living room. Nothing seemed to out of the ordinary about her, all but one small thing, her eyes, and maybe the slightly hidden crown around her forehead. What was once clear, gentle brown orbs, were now clouded of a strange dark tint. But that was only really noticeable if one looked at her well enough.

And, without any form of warning. She began to raise her hand, and not for the Shooting Star, ether. The entire room began to catch a sort of redish-orange glow, just in front of her began to form a blinding white light,which increased in power and grew further into more fierce spell, Flare. The room, along with most of the massive building would likely be affected by it, even just by the after shock of the massive explosion that would strike within the mansion!
