Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Falling through the void,
With no sense of gravity..."

Remus and Lloyd where patiently waiting for all the paperwork to get sorted out when suddenly a boy who didn't appear that much older than them suddenly told Lloyd not to let his new pet snake escape, or it might eat a baby. Remus rose a brow at the boy's outburst, ironically finding the accusation ridiculous. However Lloyd simply stared back at Mochi and blinked a few times, turning his head down to look at his new pet. "No eating babies Adelinda" Lloyd told her, as if the snake would actually understand what he said. Remus held back a giggle, figuring Lloyd was lightly mocking the boy for being so silly, though granted given it was Lloyd it could have gone either way.

Once they had paid for the pets and where out the door, each with a bag of pet supplies that Remus had hastily remembered to buy at the last minute, Remus let out a small yawn and stretched out his arms, Irelia still perched on his shoulders. "alright Lloyd, I'm gonna head home and get Irelia accustomed to her new place. You should probably get all your stuff set up for you snake as well, we'll meet up again when Aki finally wakes up from his coma." Remus told him. Lloyd nodded and the two parted ways for their respective houses.

Remus arrived at his small apartment to find it, as always, empty, save for the furnishings and the like. "welcome to your new home Irelia, I hope you like it more than that cramped little cage" he told her, picking her up off his shoulders and setting her down on the kitchen counter, along with the bag of food and pet supplies he had bought. "I bet your hungry aren't you, here let me get you something to eat" he said, digging out a can of fancy cat food. "hehe, I even sprung for the gourmet stuff to celebrate the occasion" Remus joked, turning his back on Irelia to fish for a can opener.

When Lloyd arrived home with the newly purchased snake, he found his parents where more than a bit concerned that their son had suddenly brought home a pet without consulting them, a snake no less. Fortunately a half an hour later and Lloyd had managed to talk them into letting him keep it, an exemplorary feat for someone who did so little talking. With that little matter out of the way Lloyd took Adelinda up to his room and began setting up her tank and heat lamps. "welcome home" Lloyd said to the snake, staring into the tank at her.

Finally another employee arrived setting Azalea free from the questioning customers. She was just barely running the shop so it was a huge relief to be placed elsewhere. Taking another look around the room the blonde came to notice that almost all of the exotic pets where being adopted. Never getting a chance to question why the store held these rare animals the young employee stood with an arched brow. Her mind quickly created up various answers to her thoughts but none seemed to truly fit the real world boundaries. Shaking her head in a soothing manner, Aza headed off to restock a few missing items.

Another hour passed as Azalea finished her list of chores. Another employee punched in allowing the petite female to leave for the day. Hanging up her apron Azalea couldn’t help but to glance back at the troublesome hound that had snapped at her hand earlier on in the day. Stuck with a feeling of an urging push the blonde shifted her weight from one foot to another. No matter how hard she concentrated her eyes just kept resting on the cage. Rubbing the back of her neck she let out an agitated sigh before kneeling down to once again open the cage.

What am I doing? This was stupidity at it’s finest. Most humans would’ve learned from the first experience to not place their hand back into the cage yet here she was trying her best to reach out to the dog. Opening her mouth to comfort the whining animal Aza realized that she couldn’t form a sentence let alone any words. The look that settled within the dog’s eyes held a pleading shade to them and that was all it took for her make up her mind. Hesitantly the blonde patted the animal’s head in hopes of gaining a different reaction this time.

Lilia glanced at the caged bird. "I put him down as 'Kuro' but it's up to Aki to decide." He was going to be the kid's pet after all. "I hope so too. Or Drake will kill me." Although for some reason, Lilia really doubted that the raven would cause much trouble for Aki. Sure, he was large, even for his own species; but the intelligence behind those golden eyes belied a sense of cunning rather than maliciousness. Still, maybe she should make sure Aki was warned. Raven beaks made for vicious weapons when angered. Mochi eventually quietened down and began talking to his new pet. It wasn't often that the teenager changed attitudes so quickly but every time he did, it made Lilia a little worried. She knew some people were prone to mood swings, but Mochi often did complete U-turns. It couldn't be normal. Not wanting to disturb him, Lilia directed her attention to the tattoo parlour, entering the place with nary a sound. She headed straight to Drake's office, although her pace slowed, reluctance creeping in at what she had to do.

"Drake. I've got the gift for Aki. You owe me, by the way." Lilia entered the office rubbing at her scalp. She froze, though, when she saw Drake staring up at her with wide, sheepish eyes and hands that were all but doing the macarena with each other. She visibly twitched and her headache racketed up some more. "No. Don't say it. Don't you dare say it." "I'm sorry, Lilia... Mikoto called me not five minutes ago." If Lilia could have, she would have screamed. As it was, she settled for slumping against the wall. Drake interpreted her silence as a motion to continue. "Aki's already got a lot of birds and Mikoto didn't want to deal with something else that 'shrieked it's head off every five minutes'." He pasted on a smile that was meant to encourage both her and himself. "I know you love birds. Why don't you keep it? Think of it as a really early Christmas present." He looked at the raven then and blinked, apology suddenly replaced with curious concern. "Hey, that is a little big for a bird, isn't it? What were you planning on doing with it, feed Aki to it?" It was clearly a joke, but Lilia wasn't in the mood.

She had been forced to go into a crowded store full of cages and poor caged creatures, had bought a present that went against her morals, and now was being informed that it was all for naught and why didn't she just keep it? Why did she put up with all this again? "I do love birds," she ground out through gritted teeth, "I just don't agree with having them in cages. What on earth am I supposed to do with him?" She ignored the attempt at levity completely. Drake shrugged, apologetic once more. "Feed it? I don't think the law here allows the release of pets into the wild. Really, Lilia, I am sorry." She grunted but the initial steam of rage had run out, leaving her feeling tired and in pain. Against the law, her foot. She was going to try and free the poor bird as soon as she got the chance. But first things first. She held out a hand. "Give me painkillers and we'll call it even." Drake immediately dug into his own stash of medicine and handed her a few pills of his strongest.

Lilia left the room without another word and headed to the employees lounge. Carefully depositing the cage on the coffee table, she fixed herself a glass of water and downed it and one of the pills. Then she settled herself on the sofa, waiting for the pill to kick in as she fixed a resigned look at the raven. "Looks like you're stuck with me, Kuro." She covered her mouth as she yawned and let herself sprawl out on her stomach along the sofa. Her hair spilled around her face and she was fast asleep within seconds.

Airell watched in shock as his sister one of the most hate filled beings he knew was adopted. Her new human girl...boy... Airell wasn't sure, but her new owner left with her while he was still stuck inside his tank. He could feel his own agitation rising. He looked for the girl who had wanted him earlier his key. Where was she, he wanted out now! Sometimes he hated being a snake he couldn't make much more noise then a hiss.

Annalise could barely believe it she was leaving the pet shop, finally! She felt an odd twinge as she got further from her brother. They had never been apart for long and if they were it was within the same household. But now they were being completely separated with no contact. She felt glad about it but at the same time she didn't trust her brother.

Annalise looked around the room curiously taking in the room and the boy who had bought her. She had finally figured out that through the girly smell, looks, and clothes that he was in fact a boy. She stared back at Lloyd wondering what that name was that he had said. She didn't like it but what was she going to do tell him hey you pathetic human my name is Annalise. Humans were so pathetic, but with her currently being in a glass tank she figured she was the pathetic one.

||⊱Location: tattoo parlor⊰|| ═══ ||⊱Company: Lilia, a bunny, a raven⊰|| ═══ ||⊱Outfit: 1, 2⊰|| ═══ ||⊱OOC: Kazuki is a meany cry anyway, sorry it took so long, and was i suppose to time skip?⊰

xxxxxA blue eye peered out from under the hood of the rabbit jacket, strands of dark black hair moving in a slight breeze. While Mochi's eye usually held a joyous light, these eyes that were supposedly the exact same shade of blue seemed darker, anger, sadder in a way. A swirl of pure negative emotions locked away by one and let out by another. The eyes watched as Lilia continued down the street with the raven. "For the best perhaps. Mochi would so hate it if his little secret was out to his newest of friends. Not that she'll stick around once she does find out. They all leave him in the end, even his family." Kazuki sighed as he looked back down at the rabbit in its little cage. The furry pest had turned its head to look at him, beady red eyes trained on him as if it was actually interested in anything he had to say. What a laughable notion. That's right he had asked a question had he not. "Ah yes, Mochi's secret. That would be me, Kazuki, the little voice inside his head. As your new pet you'll learn soon enough I'm sure. I almost feel a tad bit sorry for you. Almost." He started back walking again, not swinging the cage as Mochi had but holding it securely in his arms. Where once there was a boy joyously skipping around like some damnable fairy there was now a calm, sour face young man. "Why the hell a bunny though. They're just so worthless. All they do is multiply and infest the world like the rotten, pathetic pest they are."

Kazuki, for that was who he was now, really didn't want to go back to the tattoo parlor. Oh, he liked the place just fine, the people were interesting, and the owner was aware of the Mochi/Kazuki split personality problem. It was the fact that he'd have to pretend to be Mochi. Technically they were the same person, which helped when having to pretend to be the annoying kid, but Kazuki could never be a successful Mochi. But he did not want to have to deal with the emotional backlash that he would surly feel if Mochi lost Lilia as a friend. After all, who wanted a crazy freak for a friend. Still, the parlor was his job and source of income. While Mochi would skip a day of work to chase after every fleeting thought, Kazuki was far more responsible. He walked in silence to the shop and once there he flopped down at the front desk, placing the cage on the counter. His head thudded to the counter then turned so that he was looking at the white fur ball. "He spent all his money on you and now all three of us will starve. God, the kid is so irresponsible." he muttered. With a sigh he sat back up and looked around the shop. Lilia was no where in sight. Funny, had she not gone on a head of them. Maybe she had been allowed to go home early, night was quickly approaching, the streets outside falling under the shadow of a darken sky. Kazuki placed a hand over a grumbling stomach and sighed once again. Really, Mochi needed to invest more on food and less on stupid stuff that catches his attention. He had told him so before that the dumb rabbit boy like to pretend he didn't exist. At least he didn't have the problem of a voice in his head. Kazuki had never really figured out how that worked, honestly he didn't care. "Maybe someone left some food in the lounge." Grabbing the rabbit cage he strolled off towards the lounge.

It was there that he found Lilia fast asleep on the sofa. How curious. It would be so easy to take advantage of a person in such situation, or rob them blind, but despite his many personality flaws Kazuki was not that low of a person. Instead he turned from her to look at the raven that was being rather loud. "What? Are you hungry? Here have a rabbit." he placed the bunny cage on coffee table next to the raven then wandered over to the fridge. Opening he found that it was rather empty, but then it was late and most people had left or eaten their s**t already. He pulled out a container, opening it up to see some steamed vegetables and rice. Oh well, better than nothing. He heated it up then sat down in a chair, quickly wolfing the food down. "You are one ugly bird. I hope you eat that little girl alive, she is such a pain."he said to the raven. What had Lilia named the beast. Kuku, Koko,....Kuro, that was it! Absentmindedly he picked a carrot out of the container and dropped it in the rabbit cage. Rabbits like carrots right? Deciding he could be somewhat of a human person he dropped a carrot into the bird cage as well.

||⊱Location:Apartment⊰|| ═══ ||⊱Company:Lewis, Fox⊰|| ═══ ||⊱Outfit: x ⊰|| ═══ ||⊱OOC: I left 1 sake bottle out XD⊰||

Aiden opened a cabinet and started pulling out some bottles. "I know I have whiskey in her somewhere he" he muttered to himself as he pulled out a small bottle of sake, placing it on the counter next to a vodka. He shifted a few of the bottles in the cabinet aside, a few of the bottles clinking together, before he finally found the half empty bottle of whisky. "There we go" he placed the bottle on the counter then turned to another cabinet to pull out a class and when he turned back he saw the fox sniffing at the bottles. "Finally decided to come out?" he asked it as he placed some ice in his glass. The little creature was sniffing at the bottles, probably just curious by the smells they produced.

Aiden didn't pay the fox any attention as he went about pouring his drink, that was in till he noticed one of the bottles of sake rocking towards the edge of the counter. "Oh no you don't!" he said as he caught the bottle before it feel, placing it back in the cabinet. "That isn't dime store liquor that can be just dropped about he." he said to the fox as he picked her up and placed her back on the floor. "Go find Lewis, I'm sure he'd love to play with you." he wasn't angry at the fox, not really. Curiosity seemed to be the species default state. Farther in the apartment he could hear his brother moving about in the geust room that was his room we stayed in Japan. The master bedroom was Aiden's of course, and a third bedroom had been turned into a walk in closet. "HEY, AIDEN!" Aiden put down the bottle of sake he was putting down and looked down the hallway towards Lewis's room. "What?" he asked. "Come on-OW! The door is stuck again." Aiden sighed, grabbing his glass and taking a sip of the whiskey. He had forgotten about the guest room door getting stuck. Putting the class back down he walked off into the hallways, looking at the fox as he passed her. "Stay out of my whiskey."
