Welcome to Gaia! ::

Reiku rushed back out side and loaded Twilight in to the hanger and straped it down with what he could find. He then rushed to the bridge. He didn't feel like flying backwards when the ship took off into the sky. As he got into the bridge he sat down in the redar control seat and let out a sigh. " When we get airborn hopefully we can get everthing stright again like before. " He thought to himself as he looked over his sholder towards rain.

He shook his head and looked back at the computer. He wanted to get into the air and not worry about things on the ground. he pressed the comlink botten to quinns room. " You might want to get your butt up here before rain finds the lead pipe under kayako's captain's chair. " He closed it before the segway man could reply. He was still mad at him for what he did with the ship in the first place.

Rain was not scowling at him for she was too busy staring in shock. Of all her years she had never seen anything like that and never again would she want to. Shaking her head and looking away. "Just get the ship into the air," ordered nervously. "I'll figure out where to go after that. I just... want this thing in the air!"

She continued to look away until Quinn was sitting in the pilot's seat, the seatback acting as a visual barrier for anyone staring in that direction.

reiku laughed as the ship took in to the air. " Quinn i'll get you cloths. " He got up and walked down from the bridge towards his room. As he entered a bucket of cold sea water fell on his head. " That was cold...... " He sighed as he looked into his drews and found a green t-shirt and a green ripped pants. " Green was never my color. " He laughed as he walked back to the bridge.

Suddenly, time passed very quickly, and they were at their destination, which happened to be exactly wherever that code led them. It was a town, as previously stated. Quinn brought them down without incident into a maintenance shop, where the workers began to repair the giant, red skycutter.

Everyone was happy.

Until they got the bill.

As the others mulled about, minding business of their own, Rain was conversing with the head of the repair shop. As (temporary) captain, it was her duty to discuss such things. Now that she had her mind back, he realized what a mind it was now. All of that training with Ivan during those recent months really got her ready for the world. Probably more so than any hippy commune could over teach.

Currently, she was holding her head from the massive headache she was receiving. After looking at the bill, she realized they were in deep doodoo. The ship, it turned out, was not as badly damaged as previously guessed, but it was still no buff job. The repair was going to cost a lot and they had no money at all. Sitting down with the head repairman, they were going over ways in which the crew could pay.

"Ok, soo... How about the able bodied males help you repair other things that come into your shop? They can work off part of the bill. Since it is so big, myself and..." She paused. Rain realized that currently the only females aboard the Ragnarök was herself and that Johanna girl. Her head went back into her hands again. "We'll find some way of paying the rest off." The old man seemed empathetic to their situation. He agreed to the terms and he and Rain shook hands on it.

Rain walked back to the crew and announced the plans. "All you guys have to help in the shop. And bust your butts hard! I don't want to dilly dally in here forever. Johanna, come with me."

Rain, too, held her hand up to block the blinding light of the sun from her eyes. She looked up and down the streets of the town It was a quaint little establishment. It seemed to be the type that tourists liked to go to to get that cute little town sense and feel.

"Don't worry," she laughed. "Nothing like that. I just wanted to tell you that you're free to do whatever job you want around her. Dog walker, baby sitter, store monkey, whatever you want. Just make sure it pays good and work hard everyday! Like I said before, I don't want to be stuck here forever." Rain then began to walk away down the street. Waving at Johanna, she added, "Catch ya later!"

Before wanting to start off on her own job, she wanted to check in with Kayako. She had remembered that the hospital she was checked into happened to be in this town. With hope and luck she was better and could take charge again. On an added note, Rain really wanted to see Ryouki.

After much meandering and asking directions, Rain finally found the hospital. Walking up to the receptionists desk, she asked for one Kayako Wakamiya. Before the nurse could answer where she was, a distinctive and familiar scream came from down the hall.

Rain turned to look where the yelling came from to see Asuka come upon her. Stiffening up a bit, her face contorting in a nervous and confused way, she tried to calm her down. "Calm down!" she told her. "It'll be ok! I'll try and get her to normal again... whatever that is for her." Before running off to asist, she glanced at the receptionist. She was shaking her head over and over again.

"She's been like this the whole time she's been here. I can't wait until they discharge her."

Making a little expression with her mouth, Rain walked down the hall. Coming to Kayako's room, she walked in and saw what Asuka had pretty much told her. Ryouki trying to hold down an angered Kayako who was kicking and screaming to get at Gray. "Hey, Kayako!" she greeted sweetly. "SHUT UP!!" her voice changed radically into one of gruff anger.
