Welcome to Gaia! ::

KB took Than's answers at face value, which rarely led him astray. Thanatos had a bad habit of being too forthright, whether he was being witty or not. Not that lying would serve a blind man much use, really. "Now now, Than. There's far too little love in this dark world to hold such an unfair opinion." KB chastised, with a tiny stab at Than's maimed nature. It simply wouldn't be like them to carry a decent conversation with one another, without at least some meaningless quips.

KB considered referencing Than's mother on the second point, but instead let it go. "Just another bird." He lamented, glancing about before drawing up a chair. He'd seat himself casually, allowing for his cold appearance to seemingly melt, along with his posture. Slouching into the seat, he reclined lazily. "How is it in the Citadel, anyway? Was really shiny last time I was there. You still packing those crazy tattoos? They activate some sort of giant robot or something Mastema cooked up?" Crazy assumptions yes, but none too insane that Mastema wouldn't apply them.

"For a week," KB replied dryly, reaching over to snag the nearest source of water only moments before Than'd have the chance. Having sight, and all that, KB would pour himself a glass before extending the same courtesy to his companion. "not that a week is a very long time." KB finished, shrugging slightly. Some might rant about the individual perspective of time, but KB truly saw a week as a very, very short time.

"Ever thought about having a girlfriend for a day?" KB asked, peering into the crowd. He noticed that Kaiori was absent, again showing slight signs of disappointment. If 'existence' was really going to end, the least Kai could do was give KB a backrub, or maybe give Than another peck on the cheek. Goodbye present and all that, or so thought the vaguely sentimental KB. Chances are a week wouldn't be long enough for KB to maraud through the Citadel, molest a few minors, experiment on their mother, and enact the love for their father.

Sucky, but KB really seemed as nonchalant as usual.

Griffin seemed utterly bored while Bell looked no better. She had long lost the excitement she held for the party, if you could call this a party, it seemed more like a subtle business meeting. Grumbling she shifts in her dress, she couldn’t escape these business men and their double agendas. Griffin just seems happy that no one is approaching his sister.

"You're actually taking what I'm saying seriously," Than stated, not questioning. "It's a much greater amount of time if you forego the need to sleep." Thanatos had his own water soon enough and started drinking. He momentarily pondered the question of why KB wasn't bothering to ask these questions to his own children, knowing he could make them when he pleased. "No suitable candidates," was his only reply to KB's inquiries of his romantic interest. It wasn't that Than had anything against any of the women in the BC; it was simply they were too damn unstable for his interest in a lot of cases. Reminding himself of this, Thanatos began to realize every problem the BC had ever faced might have been prevented if a person had put an asylum in the region before all the nutcases moved in. "Oh, and I think your would be second in command just came back."

"That's why I have this job. I'm relaxing constantly." Twi never really had to do any heavy assignments. A fight here and there was about it. Otherwise he could do whatever he pleased and go where he wanted. It was much more nomadic in nature than any position he held at the BC, but then again the BC didn't so much exist anymore, and he didn't have any quarrels sticking with his current position. As for debts, Twi didn't consider himself a man to earn an honest living. He would only do favors that suited him.

*With most of the party goers gone, the tension was lifted if only a slight bit. Kaiori's children appeared to be alone, as twins could be when together. Perhaps now was a good time to try talking to them, before someone else took up her chance. Looking back to Mastema, Nana would smile lightly, and snuggle him ever so lightly, before taking a step back and addressing him*

^__^

I think I'm going to try and talk to a few more people. You'll be fine on your own I imagine?

^//^

I shant be too long dear.

*With that, Nana would slip away in the general direction of both Bell and Griffin. Again, Griffin might have some memory of Nana from his mother's memories, but this would be their first actual time meeting. Nana was a nice enough person, hopefully they would see that. Mastema may have been her husband but she and their mother didn't really have a negative past. A fleet meeting, a passing moment and little more. Approching the pair, Nana nod to the both lightly, then greet them*

H-hello.

o.o

Ah-- a turn? A walk?

*Well, it either meant a walk, or a dance. If it was the latter of the two, Nana would be at a loss. Women didn't often ask other women to dance, in her time. But a walk might be nice, perhaps Nana could get a bit of air and could clear her head. It would be nice to have someone to talk to other than family or loved ones, that feeling was radiated by both, much like Nana and Phi in their love of books. Perhaps the two could find something in common*

Surely.

After a few minutes had passed, a waiter would wander up to The Count and whisper something in his ear. The Count would nod, then wave the waiter away, turning back to Twilight. "Ah, it would appear that my staff was quicker than I had anticipated. The papers you require have been bundled up, and will be waiting for you upon departure. Is that satisfactory?" A simple question for Twilight to answer. At the same time in the background, it looked as if more waiters were running about, they were transporting something outside but it did not look like the papers, it was something else. Something with a cylinder shape, and a large tarp, and-- sand bags. How curious.
