Welcome to Gaia! ::

Haku listened to what he said. He had a point. It's hard to sympathize when you lack emotions. Some of her friends were perfect examples. Still, she did feel sorry for him. Even if she felt the "good" emotions rarely, she at least got to feel the warmth and bubbliness of being loved and fluttery feeling of the nervous rush before a show. Would he ever be able to feel something like that? "Too bad you can't just download emotions like you can with songs and dance moves..."

Meiko grinned. She knew that song, too! It was one of her favorites! Although, Gakupo and Luka sang it better when they did duets, she still loved the song all the same. She put on the right expression and sang along with it as it played. What luck Souji would have heard this song. It was good to know she wouldn't have to download the song quickly before singing.


Oomizu nodded and followed after Joseph in silence. She looked at her gloved hand, remembering the fire alchemy she could do with a simple snap of her fingers thanks to the gloves. How glad she was Maverick had found these and given them to her. She looked to Joseph and showed the back of her gloved hand, wondering if he would remember Roy Mustang being in the group at one point. If he did, he would probably tell her if using the gloves were a good idea or not.

As Toph listened to what Luki had so say about his view on the concept of "life", she really just sat there in the sheer awe of it all. She had never once thought of a sort of reality where humans are created as they are and are disposed when not needed. Like a computer program that she is still learning the concept of. But isn't that what the Vocaloids were, interactive computer programs? Or at least something similar to it? But there was one thing that truly stuck out to the female earthbender which caused her to lean forward, hugging the pink-haired male that sat beside her. Even though she still had great distrust in the male population for what Kratos did to her, she just imagined that she was talking to Luka, which made everything alright. "You will never fade from my life. You are one of my dearest friends and I have so much unconditional love for you. To me, as we are right now, you are a living person. Although you might think otherwise, you promising to stay by my side, makes you the most real in body, mind, and soul." She told him as she let go and took one of his hands in her own, lowering her forehead soon after to press it against the hand.

"Thank you for the advice, I will definitely remember it." Faya told him with a genuine smile as she lifted her other hand from off-screen and used it to wipe away the small tears that were continuing to come to her eyes. But out of sheer willpower, she forced herself to stop crying, if only just for him. "You are quite right, I can be with my family now. All of them." She told him before she looked over her shoulder, the area she was in suddenly darkened as a large door appeared behind her. It soon opened and a large, hooded figure stepped forward, brandishing a scythe. "Oh! Looks like my time is up for the moment. I promise to get back to you soon Gackupo." She told him as she stepped away from the mirror, retracting her hand with a slightly-pained expression gracing her usually carefree features. "I love you Gackupo!" And with that she disappeared behind the door, the mirror fading into blackness before reflecting Gackupo's own features once more.

Tomoe's ears perked up as she felt the kiss upon her cheek, her lips immediately curving upwards in a smile. "Kaoru is doing just fine love." She told him as she turned around and gave him a kiss on the lips. She then looked over at her father and smiled. "Hello father." She said with a quick bow. "Mother is out back with the others."

Temari was out in the backyard, playing with Hiroshi and Kanna while she had the twins strapped to her back in a pack.

"Well, most of the mountains are so high, they are shrouded in mist. The higher we go, we get above those clouds by the waterfall, there you can see the stars." Yuzuki told him with a smile before she stopped for a moment, her eyes scanning the lower parts of the path. Furrowing her brow for a moment, she then just scoffed and continued up the mountain, not having another thought about it.

Two beings soon stepped through the portal, one was an elder woman with a PDA in her hand, constantly mashing buttons in order to keep up with her strict schedule. She also had to make sure that her boyfriend was taking care of things smoothly while she was gone. "Come now Collette. Time to meet your new friends." Hitomi then told the blue-haired girl behind her.

Collette's head lifted up to see the vastness of the city before her, her eyes almost immediately widening at the sight. "My lady, you have never told me it was so huge and so beautiful!" The younger girl exclaimed before she was pulled back to face Hitomi, forcefully.

"Now I don't believe I have to reinform you of your mission here, right Collette? We are on a strict schedule, the deadline could be less than 48 hours. Make as many friends and connections as you can until then, am I understood?"

"Completely ma'am." Collette told Hitomi with a respectful nod.

"Good luck," Hitomi said as she patted the top of the girl's head. "My apprentice." And with that, she departed back to SPI Headquaters where she was truly needed the most.

Running a hand through her long, off-colored hair, the younger psychic picked up her robes as she began her quest into the city, to find those who were about of the group of heroes, which she was supposed to be joining now as well.

((At Soap: I had to laugh. xd ))

Oomiuz smirked and nodded lightly. Ah, finally, something she could do to be of real use here. Even if it wasn't of her own ability, she still needed some idea on how to work it, and she did. She kept her hand up, ready to snap should anything come their way and threaten their safety. It felt so good to be useful again. She looked around, trying to look out for any flayers that might come their way or for anything that would be helpful.


Luki felt Toph wrap her arms around him in a hug and looked down to her before smiling lightly and returning the hug lightly with one arm. He was still fully aware of her distrust for men, so no need to push his boundries. "Thank you, Toph-chan. You are one of my dearest friends as well. It is always good to know that I have some one in the real world I can go to to talk, and you should know you also have the same true for you." He gave a charming smile though not one ot seduce a girl. A true-from-the-heart, I'm-being-100%-honest-with-you charming smile. He lightly let his finger tips stroke her forehead in a back and forth motion as the palm of his hand stayed still against her head. "Do you need me to get you anything? I will happily fetch you something you eat or drink should you want it."

Gakupo smiled and nodded. He was glad she could be with her family again. Shame she would never get to meet his, but it may be for the better. His family could be over-whelming. "I love you too, Faya. Stay cheerful." He watched as the mirror's glassy surface returned, and even then he watched. Maybe she'd come back with a "Haha! Just joking! Let's talk some more~!" After a minute, he sighed and knew that was it. He stood and justed off his suit before he tucked the mirror into the coat of his suit's jacket and headed back towards the park.

Hiruko was strolling the night streets with his cane in one and hand the brief case in the other. The particular part of town he was in, so he learned a few nights ago, was a little rougher than others, so keepng the brief case on the end of his cane was a bad idea. Although, and this made him chuckle to himself as he remembered it, the boy who grabbed it actually ended up getting sick just from the strong aura that the brief case gave off before he collapsed. The others ran off in light terror, yelling that Hiruko must have poisoned it. Eh, what ever helps them sleep at night... Or not. If they weren't sleeping, then he could eat as many dreams as he pleased.... Nah, no need to get greedy. He had eaten well so far. He didn't need, nor want, to torture the children of this world just for a quick snack. He was better than that.

Meiko laughed lightly before she leaned in and whispered lightly, "Nah, bowwing is for the weak that need to feel good about themselves. Just hold your hands up and grin wiht a light bow of the head." She did just as she said, grinning to the audience before putting both her free hand and te one she was using to hold Souji's hand before giving a light, repsectful bow as thanks for their support. She heard Cloche and Luca and looked to them again before she tilted her head. Of course, she did try to keep from blushing at the "Good catch" comment before the mention of the spell. "Really? A singing spell? Amazing! Would Luka, Gakupo, Haku, and Neru- assuming she comes back- be allowed to learn it too?"

Collette shuffled about, poking and prodding at the watch that Hitomi had given her. It was similar to the watches used by the heros of the floating city, but in other aspects, it was completely different. "Seems there has been a lot of sorrow plaguing these people, but also a mix of happiness. Odd, but not uncommon for a living species." She mused to herself as she ran a hand through her dyed blue hair (since it had originally been black, but she changed it to match her psychic aura). "I wonder when Mistress will contact me first?"

"Life in my world? Well it's pretty advanced considering modern-day Japan, but it's nowhere near the use of mechs and large flying ships like I have seen in this world. But by harnassing the technology used for persocoms, perhaps a similar technology would be used for the rest of society." Yuzuki hypothesized for a moment before she stopped on the bank of a roaring waterfall, looking out to the night sky, which was clear and shining beautifully. "Well, here we are Raidou." She told him as she looked back, giggling happily.

Upon Gackupo's return to the park, Nuriko stood up from his seat on a bench, loosening some creases with a quick shake of his kimonos. Tilting his head to one side, her took a few steps closer to the samurai, smiling sincerely. "Hey, so how'd it go? Did you tell her all that you needed to?"

Toph felt comfort by the touch of Luki, which was weird since he was just a male form of her friend. But the way he held her, the way he comforted her, it just felt right. No, snap outta it! She growled in her mind, her eyes now closed as she just sat there in silence for the moment. After a heated conversation with herself, in her own mind, she let out a soft sigh, tilting her head upwards in Luki's general direction. She always able to "see" better this way, able to pick up the sincerity in his words with her truth deduction ability. "Well, I am hungry. But I don't want to just feel sick and throw up after I eat a meal." She explained to him gently.

"Oh Inuyasha, stop it." Temari told him without even looking back at him. Kanna quickly began to giggle, holding her hands in front of her mouth. "I know that's you. I can smell you." She then turned around and gave him a quick peck on the lips, grinning sheepishly.

Tomoe smiled at him as she tilted her head to the let, blinking slowly. "I thought we already had Maverick build a house for the children and us." She told him as she gave him a quick hug before she pulled away and took another sip from her glass of water.

((And since I want more in-depth convos between villains. lol))

Hitomi soon appears in a beam of light, her hair now back into a high ponytail as she removed her hands from her hips, brushing away her chocolate bangs from her hazel eyes. She soon walked forward, stepping before Kratos with a few documents in hand. "These are the plans you requested. Hotstreak and I were happy to make a few modifications though, to increase productivity and such." She told him as she handed him the documents, glancing around the group of men who seemed to just stare at her in a confused way, as if they didn't even know who she was. "The mark has been placed as well."

Meiko laughed and nodded before she turned around and lifted her hair off the back of her neck. Hidden a little among her hair was an opening for cables to hook in. "I can download things. It's easier in my world, but that's only because I live in a computer instead of the real world." She let her short, brown hair fall back into place and smoothed it down the rest of the way.

Gakupo reached Nuriko and gave a calm and satisied smile with a light nod. It was sad to think he might not get to talk to Faya again, but at least she was in a better place, and both got to say what was left on thei minds. "I feel a lot better now. Thank you, Nuriko. Even if you are some one I barely know, you are a true friend and I will guard you with my life should you need it." The dumb grin on his face was proof that he was back to being his normal self. He then got a slightly pensive frown on his face and looked down. "I think... I think Bunko ended her life... I wasn't able to get the mirror to her in time... But do yo think that Inu fellow may want to borrow it. I'm pretty certain they were a couple." From how he worded what he said, it was clear he had nothing but good intentions in what he wanted to do. Still, he wasn't sure how many people Nuriko would be willing to pass this magic little artifact around. Oh! Right! He pulled the mirror out of his jacket and held it out carefully since he sense Nuriko would want it back.

Luki could sense Toph was feeling better, which meant he did his job right. It was always nice to know he could make some one feel better just by being around, and what a relief not to have her jumping all over him and trying to get him to live in her closet. (Fangirls are scary people.)* Sure, he did enjoy getting attention from pretty girls, but some people were just a tad nutso. He thought for a moment before he took his hand back an stood up. "I'll make you some broth and bring some crackers. Anything to drink? Something carbonated?"

Haku was surprised that he didn't know what music and dancing were. It was her enttire life, so how does one sum up what makes them exsist? She pressed her lips and thought deeply. She opened her mouth to say something when the buttons on her sleeve suddenly lit up and started flashing. Video message? She pressed on the one below one of the screens and saw a familiar face. She gave a light smile. ""
A blonde-haired and golden-eyed girl looked up to Haku and rolled her eyes before speaking quickly in Japanese since Haku had spoken to her in that language first. "" She sighed, this being the first real pause n what she was saying. ""
Haku wasn't too surprised. One day home and Neru was already sick of it. It was good to know she'd have her friend back. She then remembered Roxas's question about what a song was and what dancing was. "" She then turned to Roxas and tilted her arm so he could see the screen on her sleeve better. "Roxas, this is Akita Neru, one of my friends.... She can show yu better than I can what singing and dancing is."
Neru blinked as Haku asked her to sing and dance. She glanced over her shoulder to a blonde-haired boy sitting on the railing of where ever they were. She gave a light, slightly awkward smile before she turned back to Haku and Roxas and nodded. Any chance to show off in front of Len before she came to the real world. "Alright, but I'm coming back to the real world as soon as I'm done with the song and dance. I'll find you then." Neru then got into position before she began preforming Strobo Lights for Roxas to see. As soon as she finished, the screen went black and the buttons on Haku's sleeve stoped glowing so brightly. That was the sign that Neru was to return.

(( *You have no idea how many times I've seen a video for Luki where majority of the comments were "Luki! Live in my closet, now! *shoves others to the side to make room for him*" XD))

The minute the cat jumped on him, Soap juat got more and more angry. "He- what the?! Get off me!" He told the feline as he pulled it off, only to have it pounce back on him. "You want something shiny? Then how about this?!" He told the cat as he pulled the pin on one of his flashbangs, closing his eyes as he prepared for the flash-and the bang as well-to go off.

It wasn't before long that Joseph saw that an escaped inmate was running past them. "Crap... Not again!" He told himself. And as he expected, he turned around to see a bright green light speeding towards him. When it made contact, he lost feeling in all his limbs, causing him to fall to the ground completely paralyzed. And out of the darkness, a mind flayer came to Joseph, not knowing that Oomizu was there as well. The tentacles on it's head levitated Joseph off the ground. Joseph was barely able to mutter the words "Burn him, hurry!" from his mouth.

((So, is it time to spread the fog of Boletaria in your direction, Mav?))

Meiko could have made a joke about what Cloche had said about how as it goes it would hurt some, but she was going to pretend she was an adult for once. She noddedlightly before she tilted her head. "Why do we need to be outside to practice?"

Oomizu saw the inmate run by and almost took him out when she heard something happening to Joseph. Her eyes widened as she saw the flayer, which ignored her presense completely. Guess she was lucky. Not Joseph though. She didn't need him to tell her to take aim at the creature before she quickly took aim and snapped her fingers, allowing a fire ball to hurtle at the flayer in a flash of lightning. She just hoped it would hit the flayer dead on and not touch Joseph at all. She knew she usually had good aim, but you could never be too certain with fire...
