Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nuriko smirked. Boredom made him do stupid s**t before and he was resisting the urge to just pounce on the younger guy to fulfill that strong need. Removing the stick from Scout's nose and tossing it like a javelin into the night, he then hopped down (silently I might add) from the tree. He landed on the balls of his feet besides the sleeping boy, bending his knees to relieve the impact on his joints before he just sat there in this squatted position. To the untrained eye, it might look like he was just stalking the boy, waiting for him to walk up, but Nuriko was resourceful. He was making sure to analyze this guy. His way of dress seemed familiar. That's it! He's with that crazy lunatic! He thought, referring to Soldier ever so clearly. This caused him to grin, thinking of something so foul, so despicably evil that it just made him all giddy on the inside. But he'd have to wait 'til the sun started to go up, just a but. Damn, this was all too easy.

Scout was curled up with his bat and mummbled something lightly in his sleep. Something about his mom and brothers. The way it sounded, it was probably an old arguement he was bringing up to his mom.
Gakupo figured it was just his imagination, but he still needed to go. After all, sleeping in the park was probably a bad idea on so many levels. Mostly because of his fear that Luka would find out he was gone. He yawned loudly and stretched before he slowly opened his eyes and blinked, his sleeves, headphones, and the jewel on his chest lighting up. He sat up and scratched his head lightly before he combed his fingers through his har to make sure no leaves or grass were tangled in it. He gave a sniff and turned around to see- Hmm? Who was that watching Scout? Something about this person seemed a little off... Ah! It was a man. He must be a preformer like himself since he looked very nice. "Hello, stranger. I am Gakupo. Why are you looking at Scout?" Gakupo had an innocent enough expression to show he was not going to hurt him or thought he would do so either.



Oomizu smiled ightly to his joe before she loked to the doors. She nodded lightly at what he said. "I take left and you get right?"

Oomizu smiled lightly to Joseph and gave a small nod. "Don't worry. I will be." She gave a reassuring wink before she turned and started headed towards the door she had claimed, her sword ready in case som one suddenly jumped out at her.

Omizu moved with caution towards the door, looking around in her periferal vision to make sure no one was sneaking up on her. Once she reached it and looked inside, she saw the long stairs in darkness. She simply increaded the energy in her "sword" and used it as a torch. She then carefully walked up the stairs, looking out for traps or any one she may run into.

After moving halfway up the staircase, both Oomizu and Joseph would come into contact with what was known as a Hoplite. "What in the hell are you??" Joseph asked as he drew his blade, ready to meet them.

Thankfully for Joseph, he had seen a hoplite in his time in Boletaria, and he knew just how to fight it. Using a pouce of turpentine he had saved for the onslaught, he poured it over hbis blade before pressing his hand against it. Using his power of soul arts, he caused the blade to become doused in flames. The demon barely had time to lift it's spear before Josph moved behind the creature and stab it in the back, causing it to melt into a dark brown goo.

Meanwhile, the Hoplite facing Oomizu slowly began to form a spear out of it's making, and quickly shot a jab towards her.

after the Hoplite was dalt with, Joseph moved further and further up the stairs. Finally, he had found the means to open the gate to the castle. But Joseph noticed that Oomizu hadn't made it to her part of the castle yet. His worries growing, he waited to see if she actually did make it.

Oomizu took out the Hoplite with some difficulty, but once it was gone she finall made her way to the top. She panted, hoping that Joseph wasn't too worried about how long it had taken her to get past the half way point. "I should have *wheeze* used my *wheeze* jet boots..."



"Who?" Soldier turned his head to Medic before he laughed lightly. "Some guy with crazy white hair," Emmett-- he hadn't bothered to learn Emmett's name-- "Said something about being desperate and blah blah blah. He then said something about a war and you four being here, so I went through this light thing and ended up in some room that looked like our respawn points."
