Welcome to Gaia! ::

Renei was poring over a large tome from the library while Harold leaned back in a chair and watched. They'd found several books having to do with sea monsters, but most had had very little information about sirens. This was about the seventh book she'd gone through so far, and it was far more rewarding than the others. She waved at Harold excitedly, making sure she had his attention before signing, <"Look at what this says! It's so fascinating!"> He grinned at her enthusiasm and plunked the chair back down on all fours and leaned over, reading to himself. His lips were moving and the muscles hearing people used when speaking were engaged, so she assumed he was reading it aloud. When he sat back in his seat, he signed the equivalent of "Huh. That's interesting."

Looking back at the book, Renei reread it.

Sirens are some of the most difficult sea creatures to study, right next to krakens and narwhals, due to their rarity and tendency to entrance anyone in earshot with their song. Most documented encounters are shrouded in legends such as the tale of Odysseus. Only five were ever known by name due to their reputation for luring sailors to their doom. However, an full account of a siren's life, written in ancient Atlantean, was found in a magically sealed chest off the coast of Italy. It revealed previously unknown habits and characteristics of the Sirens. Alas, my dear readers, I was not able to read this account for myself, so I may not share its knowledge with you.

She looked back up at Harold. <"I'm guessing you want to find this accounting first?"> Renei nodded vigorously, still excited about discovering this much. <"Wouldn't it be better to find out what her victims had in common first and try to predict her next target?">

That made Renei pause and frown. She considered for a moment, then signed, <"It might be. But if I guess wrong and she kills someone else, then what? At least if I read this accounting, I'll be able to comprehend what her priorities might be. Then that can get factored into my predictions.">

Emi jumped back from the shot, avoiding getting his by most of the debris. Emi felt a few pieces bounce off her, but they weren't enough to make a scratch. "I've already had enough of you and your toy!" Emi growled, making a run at the boy. If he was smart, he would try and kill her instead of just trying to scare her off. Either way, Emi was not going to get killed today. Emi could see the Dobberman-shapeshifter tense up, and she watched both the boy and dog, waiting for an attack.

(( Don't worry about it, Rocket. Just be careful, and please don't use ** for actions..

Mistress- I'm starting to get that now too : / Hopefully King'll make some sort of entrance. Maybe just have Rosanna attack more? XD ))

(Um that's not god modding is it? It's not like I'd kill them)

((I'm going to log off for a few min,I have to let my sister on,she wants the lap top. sad ))

(I'm just gonna call him balgen, because thats what i've always called him.)

A rather smudged skull rolled in front of the rookie member and spoke, "That was a fine performance you put on there, very fine performance." Its tone was deep and rasping, with small rattles in between words. "My name is Balgen, I'm here to escort you to the society." The skull went on. And at that point, the eyes sockets of skull glew a faint purple and started floating in the air. Tendrils of darkness shot forth from the skull's neck cavity and rooted into the ground. Moments later a skeletal hand slowly pushed forth from the pillar of darkness.

(thank you for informing me, i guess i didn't read thoroughly enough. a small edit was just made by me.)
