Welcome to Gaia! ::

((*huggles the Michu* Last time I saw you was when Caine was after me....how've you been? ^ ^))

::Glancing down at Satomi, his eyes masked from her view, he smiles with a similar feeling of weakness. He knows she isn't as chipper as she normally is, which worries him. He has tried to reassure her, confident he can defeat Idrael on his own when actually ready for it. However, the memories of her uncle must run very deep, for her to be so scared of him. Deity simply must be prepared this time. He cannot have her in danger.

Turning more towards her and lifting his left arm, he brushes his palm across her forehead and to the back of her crown, ruffling her hair a little with the same lingering smile. He'd speak, but really doesn't see the point at the moment. Lowering his left hand again to his pocket, he begins walking across the room to the hall entryway, intending to go to the stadium. He always finds that room more calming than others - aside from the lounge - but Satomi more than likely wouldn't be as comfortable in such a dark room.

As he walks, Deity turns over his left shoulder, seeing Jade there - as he doesn't seem to notice the stranger at the other side of the room, behind him. An apologetic and somber look washes over his expression as he sees her reaction to Satomi's current demeanor. He lets a deep breath out through his nose, nodding in the direction the two of them are moving, motioning for her to come along if she wishes. He hates not speaking up and explaining right there, but it would be rude to Satomi. Hoping she'll understand, he steps through to the hallway.::

OoC: Malicious Marvels! Syn gone crazy with tackleglomp power. We must subdue her in a timely fashion where each of us fight one by one in theatrical manners!

Oh no! we have been stopped for I am summoned to the dinner table for the feasting! I shall return within the half of an hour!

Jade tilted her head to teh side slighlty at the wordless response she got from Deity, before nodding slowly at him. She started to follow after him and Satomi slowly, turning back and looking at Unks as he entered. SHe didn't know what was going on, and shrugged slighlty to him as she kept following the other two, glancing over at teh new comer that had emerged.

((Let's play 'Follow the Deity'!! Lol))

Keno seemed to rush into the club in a frenzy, though he dirfted in as usual. He was wearing something a little more...comtemporary. The same baggy pants that shielded his legs, accompanied by an open jacket that revealed his chest, a studded collar around his neck. What's more is the forehead protector he wore was now more a symbol of his various training methods, but the same shades masked his eyes. "Hey all," he says in greeting, though it's clear he sensed something before he entered.

"Hello Jade." Satomi responded with a half-smile, which didn't quite reach her eyes. She just dropped her gaze at the second question, without a response. Right now dread ws growing once more, the girl fearful that Idrael would return today with all the people there. It was the last thing she wanted. Looking back up at Deity, the smile grew a bit brighter but not by much. He bgan to move, her hand still wrapperd around his lower arm. Flashing her own apologetic smile at Jade, and Unks who arrived form the elevator just then. Right now Satomi was going to stay with Deity, rather scared.

Her eyes shifted to a form that exited out from the lounge, heart pace speeding up a bit faster. Realizing it wasn't Idrael, she settled once more notice another new comer. Not bothering with a greeting, her attnetion shifted to Keno. The moment she saw him, her eyes squinted slightly as she felt the stining of tears. Looking up at Deity for a moment, she seemed to be excusing herself. Darting forward, Satomi wrapped her arms around the form of her other friend, hugging him tightly. The girl was glad to see him, him being the person seh was second closest to.

Right now she needed the support of her friends, more then ever. Though part of her wanted them to be all gone, so they wouldn't be in any danger.

<< [Points to the end of her last post.] XP >>

: biggrin eity quickly releases Satomi, moving his right arm from her path and turning around halfway as she darts across the room to Keno in a hug. A soft smile crosses Deity's face as he sees this, happy to see that Sato's friends are there for her, should she need them. He turns his gaze downward to the floor, biting his lower lip as he thinks to himself.

His intangible feeling of dread is growing stronger by the minute. He has usually been correct in these feelings, having felt something dark on the horizon, but being unable to be prepared for it when it came. When Idrael showed up nights before, he knew that this must have been what he's been sensing all this time. However, he has been protecting Sato from her uncle for a few days now. If this feeling is still present, the worst has yet to come.

Deity is snapped from his thought-induced stupor, taking a glance around from the hall doorway. Indeed, a great many people have showed up in a short amount of time. Rather than react with a smile, Deity's face draws a blank, and he freezes for a moment as a thought crosses his mind. He immediately shakes his head.::

N-no way...it's not that....get that out of your head....

::Seeing two strangers, Unks, Keno, Jade, and Sato in the main room, Deity nods deeply once in a collective greeting. He stays silent unless spoken to for now, both hands in his pockets.::
