Welcome to Gaia! ::

Wow, fast fight, not that Eva was really complaining. She cast a glance over her shoulder at Leon and Tedan before shaking her head and turning her attention back to the others.

She perked up as someone asked her a question. Her division? "Death," She answered Marcus, propping her hands back onto her hips and shrugging, "Honestly, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but...I'll do my best, I suppose. If anyone has any advice for a newbie, please do share. And hey, Gale!"

The last part was directed to the younger hunter who had just joined them. She reached out to give him a friendly pat on the shoulder, laughing at his question. "Scenery's great. Nothing like a nice fist fight in the background, though I guess that's done and over with already. It's nice to hear that some of my old teammates woke up earlier too, though. Glad to hear that there are more Epsilons milling around here."

...Hmm, right. She never had shared what team she had belonged to with Gale, had she? That being said, Eva didn't know what his team he had belonged to either.

Was it just her or did it all happen at once? Leon punched the guy calling himself Five--wait. Waitwait. The guy they were trying to kill for being <******** annoying in that room? Seriously? He was back?! ********. Could she punch him? Pretty please? Leon apparently stepped up to the plate before she did. Candace just laughed, leaning against the wall again. Oh that was almost as funny as Dr. H shooting Clarice in the head again in front of the new trainees. Aw, man. This was a food day again.

"Good mornin', Good mornin'!" Candace tensed up. "We've talked the whole night through, Good mornin', Good mornin' to you!" Her face seemed to light up with joy as she stood off the wall again and looked around until she found him. Aw, ********. Jerry. Why are you so goddamn cute. Candace was grinning from ear to ear as the man approached the growing group, waving to him.

"Heyyyyy, Jerr-bear~." She called out, looking slightly crestfallen that it was Jordan mentioned in the song and not her. Fine. Fine. She'd live with it..but he did smile at her. She smiled helplessly, feeling incredibly stupid even as she walked over to drape her arms over the man's shoulders. He had wanted to take things slow, but Candace had a hard time determining what 'slow' was. It wasn't something she did. "Glad to see you cheerful again." Candace chirped, looking Jordan's way as he began to leave. She kind of wanted to follow him...kind of.

...Later. She'd approach him later.

"They're guys. Let 'em have at it." Candace shrugged and just let it be, playing with Jerry's hair until Leon pointed out Jerry's scars. Her eyes narrowed slightly in that 'how dare you!' kind of way as she protectively wrapped her arms around one of Jerry's. "Not cool, Leon. We don't need to be terrifying them on their first day." She didn't know about Jerry, but the scars were a touchy subject for Candace. If she hadn't been so--no! No..she promised. Goddamnit.

Gale cracked a slight smile at the hunter's whose name he thought might be Wilson.

"Takes some time, yes," he said. "But once you get used to it, it's like a second nature to you."

Eyes flickering back to Eva, Gale's smile grew a bit more, his brows raising in surprise as he caught the last of her conversation with Marcus.

"Good division to be in," he told her, then smirked. "Not that I'm biased towards it, or anything. Though to be perfectly honest, our faction leader is a tad..."

<< Sulky? Bratty? Constantly PMSing, as you keep saying? >>

"...unique in his ways," finished Gale, rolling his eyes. The smile on his face faltered a bit.

...Epsilon? Eva is an Epsilon?

The thought made him slightly less pleased, but he tried to quell it. He'd given up his "test" name, after all, because that's just what it was - a test, nothing more.

And it was in the past now.

Aleister eventually took up watching the others mingle from where he was standing, slinking towards a wall. <Fighting already... that seems a bit.... overzealous....>

<Probably.... Say aren't you going to talk to anyone? You came out here all excited 'cause there were people.>

<Huh.... oh yeah I did.... I probably should.... I mean... iunno.>

Aleister sighed as he watched everyone for a second as they seemed to gather in groups, in a way he'd feel weird interrupting them... The hunter wrinkled his nose slightly, there were some calling out their squads from a while ago...

<Stop being such a wimp and do something already. Sheesh I can't make you do it or I would.>

< .... Fine> "Ahem.... um... Sooo.... anyone else an Epsilon?" It was something right? He knew Eva was, even if he'd forgotten her number by now... but the point was he wanted to see where they were in the mix, if there were even any more of them besides the ones that woke up with him.

Wilson cocked an eyebrow at the boy. “Second nature? Well, I guess I’ll have to take your word for it.”

At the mention of the Death division leader, he leaned forward. “Er, is our leader really that bad…?” He hoped he was at least better than Dr. H.

A-10? Seriously? SHE was here too? She'd ... been one of the ringleaders of that group that wanted to kill him, hadn't she? Why did it have to be all of these people who were awake? Where the hell were Three and Fiver II in this mess? "I was Fiver. Or Alpha Five if that's easier for you t'remember," he replied to Reine, watching her to see if she remembered him too ... b***h.

Wilson frowned and slumped his shoulders. "Dammit. Just my luck."

At the mentioning of his scars, the string-bean of a man flushed, straightening his glasses. "Er-" He was relieved when Candace threw her arms around him, but he was on a MISSION. An important, personal mission. She would approve, he was sure. "There's... there's ah... time for stories later I'm sure, but more importantly, who here likes to sing? Seriously! I'm trying to organize a sort of choir and- ah... Jordan!" He paused from accosting the newbies, glancing over his shoulder after his retreating friend, "Alpha come back! We need to see if any other Phoenixes have-"

More shouts had danced back and forth- Alphas! He tried to listen for any shout of Zeta, but A10 was mentioned and that was familiar but which...

His stomach clenched. That girl he had... but it had been an accident-

It totally wasn't. You were having one of your moments, dipshit. Roar's chuckle echoed in the back of his head unhelpfully.

The face of the friend he had helped contribute to her death. And despite his actions, they had accepted him anyway...

He turned for any sight of the sound of the Alpha's shout.
