Welcome to Gaia! ::

He was glad to hear that she thought of him as interesting rather than just spouting facts.

As simple as her question was, it was a bit uncomfortable for him. He wasn't quite sure how he would put it. There was only one place that he knew that could give a pleasant atmosphere, where they could talk while getting something to eat, but...

"Err, well, you see...the only place I can think of is this sort of café hybrid, that despite everything that hits this country still manages to stay open, so it's the only place that can do business. The issue is that it's the Hostess Club..."

He didn't know what reaction she could have to it, but the name pretty much said it all, didn't it?

When there is empty void that needs to fulfill
When there is loneliness that needs companion
When there is secret crush that needs to confess...




"Oh.... My head." Psyche groaned as she walked wobbly down the path. She didn't expect that 9000 XP Love Cannon Launcher to be so powerful. Whoever designed that weapon needed to put a warning about it. It was a good thing that she crashed toward the pillows and beanbags that the trader was selling. They really cushioned her fall.

Waddled around like a drunkard, the cupid tried to regain her composure and balance. Never would she use that weapon again... Unless she was in desperate need again. But for now, she would stick to her bow and arrows. All she needed was to find the couple.

And oh look, she found one. But what was this? That red-haired man was averting his eyes to his girlfriend? Oh no. This would not do. She refused to let Mr. Grumpy Face break that poor girl's heart. If there was one thing she hated, it was a heartbreaker.

"NOT ON MY WATCH, MR. GRUMPY FACE!!" Psyche yelled as she accidentally pulled out two arrows from her quiver and shot. Stupid cupid, when would you learn to check your arrows before shooting?

The two arrows sped as they intertwined their heart particle tails behind. As they came close to their targets, they split apart and hit their bull's-eyes, aka hearts.

"Yay! I did it!" Psyche jumped before she took off. Now all they had to do was look at each other and fall in love.

Surely, Derrin looked at Clara if he had anything else to say. But unfortunately, the stupid cupid should have stayed longer to see if they fell in love with each other.

Because if Clara looked over Derrin's shoulder, she would see Nephenee sitting at the corner, feeling down on herself. Oh Psyche, didn't your commander told you to make sure that the pairings MUST STAY TOGETHER!

(( Time to use the characters that are currently neglected in the winter event! 8D
... Except Amara. Unless you guys want a five year-old running around? xD ))

"Today will be great", Nils decided, wearing a smile on his face. After all, it was just beautiful outside! The signs of spring were beginning to show up, in both the weather and natural appearance. All signs seemed to point to "good day".

The bard hummed to himself, walking casually down one of the many streets. His clothes were no different than normal. He still wore his shorts, his scarf, his shirt, and his engagement ring was still snug around his finger. A flute danged from his belt, gently tapping against his hip with each step that he took. He wasn't looking for anything or anyone in particular; he was just outside for the sake of being outside!

This is why he was startled when he bumped into none other than Rei. "S-sorry!" Nils apologized quickly, out of habit more than anything else. After a second or two, though, he realized who he just walked into and began to grin. "Rei! You're actually outside for once! I guess I don't have to drag you out, hm?" The small bard teased, looking up at his friend. It was nice to see Rei out and about due to his own free will. He remembered his little "offer" to drag the druid out of the library in order to get him outside; Nils would have literally dragged him around if that was what it took. "How have you been? Read anything interesting lately?"

Elsewhere, Akihi Kaua was just . . . wandering around. Truthfully, he got bored being at his own tiny little home, and he didn't want to go visit his sister and niece. And really, he had nothing better to do than just walk. He needed the exercise, and, well, it was nice outside. . . .

He exhaled softly, oblivious to all that was going on around him. And it sure was a good thing that he was. . . .

Ugh, now where was the boy? He had to be in town somewhere, it wasn't as if there were any other big cities around that he could go visit... not that he would, probably, it wasn't really Ephraim's thing to go exploring. But really, this city was even stranger than usual. A lot of the citizens were acting more.... well, aroused than usual, chasing others around and making out in the middle of the street and such. That was odd. What was even more odd was that while Kishuna walked through the city, nobody turned to look at him really. Nobody was even paying attention. Which was extremely strange, since a shirtless man would normally turn at least a few heads. But, almost no response today.

Wasn't this that.... Valentine's Day thing? Holiday or something? Whatever, he didn't care. It wasn't really something that affected him, and Ephraim probably didn't care since he hadn't stayed around for the day. Maybe it was a tradition to go around and find someone you liked and kiss them in the street today. Sounded like a slightly retarded idea, but whatever. If they wanted to do it it was no business of his, he guessed. So he kept wandering, not really knowing where he was going.

And there was a commotion, a few streets over. That might be fun to go watch; hell, if it was like the rest of the town maybe it would be a few people fighting over some extremely desirable person. He didn't have anything better to do, so Kishuna made his way in that direction; the sound of a proposal made him pause and give an odd stare in that direction. A reptile-person.... Ganon, wasn't it? And the half-dragon girl from back on the Dread Isle. Oooookay. The thought flickered through his mind that maybe everything wasn't proper, and he kept hold of that thought. Not like odd things didn't happen around here every other holiday....

But what was this. WHAT. THE. ********. WAS. THIS. He'd found the source of the disturbance.... and his prince was here, with some cat thing, chasing after other men. For a moment he was enraged at Ephraim; but after listening to his speech for a moment, Kishuna realized that his lover wasn't himself. He was never that assertive, at ANY time. So that must mean....

The morph's hot glare flicked to Roy, the apparent target of Ephraim's attentions. If Ephraim was going after him, acting like this, it had to be a love potion or something. Those existed, right? That flame-haired little b*****d was trying to steal away HIS boyfriend. And that wasn't going to happen. The morph slipped forward, insinuating himself in the path of the two being chased. "Oh, Rooooooy~" His voice was sweet, and he'd managed to bring a smile onto his face. "Why don't you come over here so we can talk about my boyfriend chasing you?" Keep the smile. Keep the smile just until that one got over here. Then he could eliminate the source of the problem.

What the?

One minute he was trapped between a wall and Ephraim, the next he was getting dragged away by Joshua, who had clearly broken several laws of physics to pull Roy away from Ephraim. But while the writer is hastily reinforcing the fourth wall, we see Roy getting dragged on the floor by the Jehenna prince.

And as he looked back, he could see...Ephraim, the tiger that was on Joshua, and...Oh s**t! Why was Kishuna following after them now?! Well, this situation had clearly turned for the worst, thanks to the stupid redhead prince. Well, either he could break Joshua's legs and leave him behind for the tiger, or he could face the three chasing them like a man and accept his unfortunate fate. What the bloody hell did he do to deserve this? He glanced up at the heavens for a moment, then sighed before he planted his left foot on the ground and jumped a bit, getting back on his feet.

Roy then gripped Joshua's wrist with the hand that was being held on to, then shifted all his weight to his back leg and tugged, hard. This would knock Joshua off his feet and land on the ground on his back. Roy then planted his foot next to Joshua's head.

"If you run, I'll kill you." the young lord said coldly.

There were times where you had to retreat, but this was certainly not one of them. He turned to look back at the three pursuers that were chasing them, ready to accept whatever cold and twisted event his accursed fate had given him.

Canas strode into a bisg city. Only after entring the city limits with a crash to the ground via tripping over oneself. Dusting himself off, he looked around and if emoticons could be seen, he would have a big question mark over his head and a dunce cap on. He carried his spellbook in one hand and adjusted his monocle with the other, walking slowly down to the market to look at the vender stalls, There was something strange in the air about this place, though he had no idea what.

"Hmmm," He thought. "Apples or oranges..." He scrutinized the two fruit, in his mind, he played the differences and similarities between the two and the taste. Finally going with oranges, he paid for his share and walkinfg down the street again began humming a happy tune to himself and looked for the nearest Inn.

The Tempest King

(( I died all little inside today.... also I made no physics errors If I read correctly there was nothing blocking on the left side of Ephraim D:...... but back to the fact of Izzy, Ephraim and Kishuna, DDDDD smile )

"AWWW HELL!" Joshua moaned as he looked back to see a tiger, a morph and a lancer following after him and the lord. "Why me?" He asked nobody in particular as he tugged harder to keep Roy running, and so was totally unprepared for when Roy yanked him back. The swordmaster had his feet pulled out from under him as his face showed a hilarious expression of surprise when he found him self parallel with the ground of course gravity had to kick in and he landed hard on his back. "Wuuf." He huffed as he hit the ground. Not only that but Roy planted a foot beside his head to discourage him from getting up.

"Are you stupid?" He yelled as his right hand shot out to grip Roy's ankle, rolling over quickly and grabbed Roy's other ankle. But before he could tug on them and yank the Lords feet out from under him, Ephraim did it for him.

Talk about karma.

The swordmaster took no time in getting to his own feet, and with a flourish removed his hat and bowed dashingly for Roy, "And to the fallen, I say a silent prayer, may you and your love have many happy days." Quickly as he was aware time was short Joshua produced a business card and flicked it towards Ephraim

The card said on one side, "Joshua Full-Time Gambler."

but on the other said, "Part-Time Wedding Priest"

You see being King of a nation had its own perks, one of which was the ablity to legally marry people. And one night (When drunk) Joshua had paid for a man to make hima bunch of small cards that advertised that fact.

Placing his one true love back on his head Joshua winked at Ephraim knowingly before taking off down the street.

Joshua had no intention of being that kitty’s plaything again.

He didn't want to be on the bottom
