Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nicodemus looked over to girls after Riot struck his arm. He had to look a bit harder at the women than Riot did, his mind was swimming at this point. One of the girls caught him looking and begun to giggle wildly.

Nicodemus winced. That was such a god awful noise. He looked back at Riot than grinned. "Well, go say hi big man..." He reached around and lightly shoved Riot forward toward the group, whom stopped to return the check out favor.

The girls giggled again at the display. Obviously they were a bit younger than the two brothers and figured that make up was necessary. Divas would be the best way to describe them. Nicodemus had no interest in flirting back with them, but that didn't mean he couldn't humor Riot who had a nack for that kind of thing.

"..." Nicodemus lazily looked over at his brother. "Really?...." The girls looked over at the display. By their giggles and laughs they were obviously pleased at what they saw.

"excuse me ladies, would either of you want to take this little birthday -man- out on a date? He's getting very lonely!" Nicodemus called over to the girls as he rest his large hand on Riot's head.

The girls squeaked and laughed, but didn't say anything. They did migrate a little closer to the brothers, but still did not engage in verbal conversation.

Nicodemus frowned, but remained silent until Riot walked away. "I don't have 'giantism'! I AM GODZILLA!" He proclaimed before turning around and following behind Riot. "Now common my tiny side-kick" He aimed to lightly kick Riot in the tuckas as he said 'kick'.

The girls behind them were silent and most likely confused over what had just taken place. They were certain though that the big one was crazy and the little one was a player of some kind. They walked in the opposite direction, gossiping about what had just happened.

Nicodemus looked down at Riot. "God you're such a ladies man..."

The shield liger was snoring as it lay in the ZOID lot almost completely alone. The sound was like a 'purr' of a lion. Quite cute for an old ZOID actually...

"Just you watch, ladies will be crawling juts to touch you feet. " He looked back briefly at the the group before being 'headlock' of sorts and bopped in the chest. "ung, besides... that one imperial chick wanted you baaaaaaad. I saw, don't deny it...." he ruffled Riot's hair.

"Tch, everyone checks this out. But only because it's kind of hard to miss..." Nicodemus laughed and wrapped his arm around Riot's neck and gave him his own chest pound. Very lightly of course. "She probably thought I was crazy to boot."

The liger rolled his metaphorical eyes with a groan. Jeeze, still somewhat buzzed. These Kids were such trouble makers. He opened his canopy as the two approached. His chin was already on the ground as far as it would go... so hopefully they would have no problems getting in.

Nicodemus ruffled Riot's hair again and mumbled. "Heh, you'd look so weird with pink hair..."

"Because it -is- primal. Think about it..." Nicodemus laughed as he released his little brother from his 'death' hold. He had to think of that last one. They were on the topic of girls, some girls wore too much pink and BOOM there was the inspiration. "...I dunno. Just a thought."

Nicodemus shrugged before climbing into the cockpit of the Liger. Back seat again this time. He still lost the bet...

"William, let Riot drive this time... it's only fair for the birthday king here." He pat the side of the pit as he sunk into his seat. The liger groaned but agreed. The litter one was not as 'crazy' minded at the moment. It wasn't like the old liger had not been through worse.

The liger huffed, but was compliant. Riot would feel no resistance as he urged the controls backwards. The ZOID was his for the piloting. However, William was full ready to take over if anything went wrong. He was protective of his family.

Nicodemus chuckled to himself and shook his head. "yeah... wait... no I'm not thinkin' now."

He rest his head back against the seat. It was like a unknown relief to have his head resting, to be sitting. His eyes became heavy and with each blink his eyelids struggled with his mind to stay shut.

"aw, don't be mean to William. He knows how to auto eject the pilot you know..." Nicodemus mumbled and trailed of as sweet after drunken sleep took hold of him.

The liger 'purred' in a mock laughter as if to confirm Nicodemus' words. Though he would never think to eject these pilots.

The liger purred again before moving in the direction Riot had moved the controls. Every so often a monitor screen would pop up in front of Riot and show him some odd astronomical happening. A shooting star or an odd glow in the sky. At times wild ZOIDs would pop up on the horizon as they moved away from the civilizations and more to the wild lands. None of the ZOIDs moved in close. Most they would do is look than move on with their own busyness.

For the most part it was a calm night. Nicodemus stirred a little as he begun to sweat a little. It was an undesired result of the experiments, to be worked out latter in the tests. The purpose of this time was to remove the unwanted alcohol from his body. When in sleep his body repairs itself quicker than a normal person. It was one of the Dr. latest and favored tests. Quite frankly it was frustrating to have to always was the sheets every morning because of the sweat.

William came to a slow stop after a good hour and a half walk. It was now creeping into the very early hours of the morning, about 3:30am now. Still an hour or two until sunrise, which gave them plenty of time before having to return home.

The liger looked out over the cliff he was perched on. The valley below was pitch black with nothing but the sound of running water echoing in the still night. It was an unknown spot sadly, but it was the best pace to catch the sun rise.

His canopy opened for the boys to get a bit of fresh air.

Nicodemus stirred than woke up with a sudden jolt. The cold, yet refreshing, air was a sudden wake up call. He was a light sleeper no matter what state he was in. A very light sleeper. "Man.." He huffed as he wiped his face free of sweat with his shirt.

He looked up to see the countless stars in the sky, than he looked to Riot. "Sight seeing?" Nicodemus mumbled to Riot as he leaned on the back of the seat. His tone was far more normal than it was before he fell asleep. It didn't take long for him to get over being smashed. Though that didn't change that he lost the wager. Not that he cared, GOD the headache though. At least it wasn't as bad as it should be...

He was glad that they were not at home yet. It was inevitable what was going to happen. Their father would bark and growl and Nicodemus would have to just sit there and 'listen'. Really the words just rolled off his back. He could care less. Nothing -he- had to say was truth. More 'i'd expect that from him, but not you' Not something to look forward to, but this time it was going to be different. Nicodemus was not going to take that verbal abuse of his little brother any more.

"Or were you planning to dump my drunken a** off the cliff?" He ruffled Riot's hair with a chuckle.
