Welcome to Gaia! ::

Thanatos didn't make a single motion while Karinth spoke, not even to elicit the grammatical or 'dumb' errors that he uttered. "You know quite well that I'm not the first person to take the issue up with you. If I'm to take your words at face value, then you must either concede you're either incompetent or that you are entirely irresponsible. I'm blind, as you can see, and live in a fish bowl-like isolation, and even I've got more sense than to do what you're pulling. And secondly, don't dare make such a careless comparison to my artificial limb. If my arm were truly a hindrance against my will to anyone else here, I would either remove it or remove myself. You also started your meddling after you came in, Ka'rinth-san, was it? So if you haven't got any better reason to continue doing what you're doing than 'I can do it because it's a part of me,' then perhaps you should leave and return after you've reviewed your code of etiquette. If you have a good reason, then say it. A party already full tension has no place for what you're doing. If nothing else, use this as an exercise for your other methods of 'awareness,' as you call it. I believe I'm being more than fair with the number of options I'm giving you." True, what Than was saying was far from ligh-hearted party conversation, but Ka'rinth's field of tortured souls was certainly no party-face either. Ka'rinth was speaking to someone who was going to confront him on the grounds he laid.

Twi, Griffin's favorite person in the whole world, was listening to Thanatos's rather lengthly speech to Ka'rinth. The tortured souls did irk him a little, but distractions made it bearable. Still, drinking from a cup of orange juice, Twi had to be intrigued by this change in approach from the last time he'd seen Thanatos. "Well..... snap....." whispering to himself, he continued to watch.

"I understand; you've missed the point of my statement. I'm disappointed in your level of comprehension. Perhaps one day you will be able to understand, if you study intensely." Thanatos turned to whoever was nearest him and spoke loudly for anyone near him to hear. "If one of you would kindly retrieve the doormen for me, I would be most grateful. One of our party-mates is unable to control himself, so to speak." Hopefully someone would answer the request. Thanatos knew of the intensified electromagnetic field due to a 'tingling' in his left arm. Ka rinth would feel the slightest rise of energy in Than's direction, but he wouldn't likely be able to tell all 6 plans of attack that had already formed in Than's mind. Thanatos spoke to Karinth again. "My name is Thanatos, son of Mastema and Nana. I promise no harm will come to you if you allow the doormen to escort you out quietly. Know that my regret for having to resort to this is real, but I take no more responsibility for this occurence than you." Thanatos stood deathly still, yet not the least bit tense, save for his jaw muscles from putting so much effort into to talking to Karinth. There were no indications of anything the boy was capable of attacking with.

*Kaiori’s smile widens, not enough to let the flash of her fangs scare the woman but enough to show some actual happiness this evening.* Oh yes music is most important for children! Griffin has taken up the piano but he rarely plays for an audience, and Bell sings all the time! Sometimes even without realizing where she is! *Kaiori laughs lightly the sound ringing out from her lips, as she remembers her young daughter singing in the halls or in the gardens or as her big brother plays a made up tune of the piano. Good memories were a relief for her and it eased her temper for the moment.*

"Now now Ladies, we're here to enjoy ourselves." KB would interrupt the bickering cheerfully, teasing the pair even as he drifted by. Not bothering to stop and be part of their bickering, he'd simply continue towards the charming company of Nana and Kai. Than and Ka'rinth were of course allowed to do whatever they wanted by KB's outlook, he simply found the two lacked the wit or devotion to the subject to make the wordplay amusing or interesting. Arguing the semantics of each other's idiocies at a party was simply lame.

So it was that KB would bust in on Kai and Nana's conversation, flashing Kai a knowing grin. "Nana, Kai." He nodded to each in turn, before settling back into standing at his casual distance from either two. "It's going to be a couple of minutes before your drink is ready." KB informed Kaiori politely, hoping he wasn't intruding too heavily upon their conversation.

*Kaiori nods to Nana. She was having a surprisingly good time with the woman. They seemed to have more than a few things in common and she seemed so pure. Her eyes momentarily dart to meet with KB’s. Of course he knew, not that it was a bad thing in this case but it was more than a little embarrassing for her. She had watched him casually go off and had hopelessly wished it wasn’t for the reason she thought, but of course it was and she didn’t mind as much now, since somewhere in the room there was blood. She had tried not to smell it for long, denying herself that simple pleasure since it would most likely lead to less simple things. Her hands glide down from her hips to her sides and she lets out a small quivering sigh since the corset like top wouldn’t let her chest relax.* Ahh, I see, thank you. *She mutters her lips hardly moving and her lashes lowering to hide her emotions.*

"Admiral!" KB exclaimed cheerfully, bowing lightly. "Did you have a chance to speak with Mastema regarding the operation?" He asked curiously, trying to remain jovial. There was no good reason for everyone at the party to be fighting. Sure things might have been rough among everyone, but the fact that no one had struck anyone else yet was nothing short of amazing. The BC had never had all its enemies in one spot before, let alone peacefully.

"As a matter-a-fact I have not. I spoke with him briefly, but only on a social level. Was trying to pick his brain, but then I remembered something more important and went to speak with Sairys." His grin never altered, his voice the same exact polite tone it had been when he approached, even his eyes retained that same, flat, shimmer to them. But inside he was a raging maelstrom of hatred and spite, he'd kill KB right then and there if he'd wanted, but no! He needed this shell alive, for now, if only to deliver his end of the bargain. Even knowingly KB was still the perfect pawn.

His gaze shifted to Kaiori, politely inquiring after her well being. "Good evening again, Mrs. Night. I trust the new body isn't too troublesome? And I do hope you'll forgive me for, erm, blowing your last one up." That got a good natured chuckle from the Admiral, but it held no warmth. It was as fake as the lips that smiled, sometimes he tried to remember what it was like to be alive then recalled that biologicals had inferior memories and recoiled under the fac the couldn't see as far back then when he'd first been augmented for the cy-ops program. True he knew of his past, knew he did this and this, but he couldn't remember any details.

Nana he all but ignored, save a polite nod in her direction while he approached. That one he'd kill when the time came, but now he was curious as to how the integration of the new body was going with Kaiori. Her neural scans were strange, almost as if she had another being on top of another being inside her skull - which was all very plausible in this realm. Oh well, no matters.
