Welcome to Gaia! ::

Curiously Klyde watched as Kohaku produced her notebook to write her answer down, reading her script carefully. "Shun passed out?" They hadn't even started this vacation yet and people were already dropping. This was going to be awesome....

He had to feel for Desmond though. That no doubt meant Mitsu would be worrying over Shun until he was better leaving his fellow vampire alone.

"This is going to be grand." Seeing Riyo run off to the bathroom to fetch a few things the vampire followed though slowly. He had peeked into the room curiously first to see what was going on. By the time he had gotten to the bathroom Riyo had already found the pictures and he seemed rather confused by the face she was making. "Riyo? You didn't find more weird toys did you?"

Mitsu frowned a little but tried to nod. She supposed Desmond had a point, Shun was human after all so he was prone to getting sick like everyone else. He just seemed so strong it was hard to imagine him this way...like it was hard to imagine Desmond being hurt.

Looking to Blade Mitsu tried to think. "I-I'm not sure. We should probably try to make him comfortable."

"Well, you have fun with that. Come get me if he doesn't get better, I'm going to take a nap." Neko was the picture of the lack of concern as he made his way out of the room to find one of his own. Hey, he had made himself available that was enough. It wasn't like they had to go far to get him.

Somehow his words brought little comfort to the wolf girl as she left out a soft whimper looking back to the assassin. He would probably be upset if they took him to the hospital....but if they had to he would just have to manage. There was no way she was going to just let him sit there and suffer.

As Riyo heard Klyde and Blade questioning her, she immediately slammed the drawer shut. "N-no... Nothing like that..." She only wished there were weird toys in there instead of... What actually occupied the drawer.

Figuring there couldn't be anything worse than that, she checked the bottom drawer and by some miracle found a cold compress. Shakily, she handed it to Blade. "I didn't see any paper towels... They're probably in the kitchen..."

Sighing, Desmond moved out of the room for a moment and came back with a chair, which he put right next to the bed. "Here." What a shame that he couldn't get sick like that. Maybe then he'd be able to snag some of his girlfriend's attention.

Peeking into the room, Kohaku frowned at Shun's condition and wondered just how bad his illness was. Though, it was obvious there was nothing she could do. The only sickness she ever had to deal with was her own, and this was an entirely different matter.

Instead, she moved to en empty room so she could arrange her things and wait for news on the boy's condition.

Raising an eyebrow at Riyo's reaction, Blade decided to not ask what she had found. Shaking his head to himself, he took the cold compress and went back into the other room, seeing Mitsu sitting in a chair by the bed. She was certainly worried for the guy, but he was pretty sure he'd be fine.

Getting the compress ready, he handed it to Mitsu to place it onto the assassin's forehead since it was easier for her to reach him.

"He'll get better. Don't worry too hard ok?" the thief said while placing a hand onto her shoulder, offering a smile as well.

As the evening drew closer Mitsu found herself still firmly planted in the chair Desmond had brought in for her to sit on. At least he had found a semi-comfortable chair but her rear was still getting sore from sitting so long. She would have moved, but it didn't seem like Shun was improving.

Carefully she reached over to push his hair out of his face before she flipped the cold compress over to use the other cooler side. "Do you think we should get Neko?" Mitsu asked looking over at Desmond.

Once a room was found Klyde had taken his and Riyo's things there and at the insistence of the feline took a nap for a short while. His hungry had started to grow though and with his knew found fear that something would go wrong he wanted to remedy this problem.

Carefully pulling away so that he wouldn't disturb Riyo, Klyde scooted out of the bed and headed out of the room. He peeked in shortly to see how Desmond was doing on his way, wondering if Mr. Grumpyface had improved any. "Hey, I'm headed to the bus to get the cooler. You want a blood pack?" Might as well offer if he was on his way. Who knew, maybe Desmond would want to stretch his legs and join him.

Neko had taken a short nap as well and had found himself in the kitchen later on trying to figure out what he had to work with in the mess that Jess had. After what he had found on the bus he had to wonder what he would find in the house and there was a lack of surprise when he opened the cabinets to find....edible underwear....

"Okay...." He closed that cabinet and opened another....more edible undergarments. Neko had no idea the things were made in so many different ways. After a bit of searching the only real food the feline managed to find was chef boyardee and a refrigerator stocked full of beer, wine coolers, and other mixers. "Nice....we landed in a frat house." With a sigh Neko closed the refrigerator door. Guess he would have to go shopping. He would be damned if he was going to eat candy panties for breakfast.

"Give him a little while longer, Mitsu." Desmond said softly, noticing he'd moved slightly when she touched him. That b*****d... He was having a dream about her, wasn't he?

Glancing back to the voice in the doorway, Desmond began to stand before he gave a soft "sure."

"I'll be back." Desmond said softly to Mitsu, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead before following Klyde out.

When the empty space was found next to her, Riyo yawned and stretched out on the bed, taking up as much of it as she could. Naps. Naps were good. Especially in a big bed.

As Kohaku heard people start to stir in the house, she sat her book down and came out to see what all the commotion was.

Were those... Candy panties?

Almost immediately, her jaw dropped. She didn't know they made them with flavors...

Though Shun had fallen silent for the most part again, he still murmured a thing or two now and then. His hand twitched slightly when Mitsu touched his arm.

"I..." he started but trailed off quietly. A small twinge of what could be taken as a sort of soft smile showed up upon his face. Apparently whatever he had been dreaming, it wasn't a nightmare of any sort.

For a moment or so, Blade's mouth opened slightly as he took this in, but he couldn't think of anything to really say about that. It was something he probably should have expected but still didn't because he didn't really want to think about it. And now that Kohaku was here, he really didn't want to say anything about them.

"How far is the nearest grocery?" the thief asked with a frown. Most likely enough would to be picked up to last them a few days in the very least.

Mitsu let out a soft sigh her expression lightening a little seeing the small twinge of a smile on Shun's face. At least it didn't seem like he was having any bad dreams, that was something at least. "Rest well and feel better, Shun." She said softly though she was fairly certain he couldn't hear.

Klyde cringed a little only realizing too late the wound he had just rubbed salt in. Oh well, maybe talking it out would make Desmond feel a little better.

....or maybe not. That fact that Mitsu had slept with Shun did make the situation a little more difficult. Klyde certainly would have been torn up inside if Riyo had slept with Blade....that and he likely would have tried to kill him again. As it stood his relationship with the thief had lightened a little. He supposed he more than tolerated his presence but he really wasn't sure if he could call him a friend but he was Riyo's friend and that's what mattered.

"Yeah, Riyo doesn't have many friends either." Though she was rather standoffish, only a hand full of people had managed to crack that hard outer layer she had built up to protect herself.

Sucking down the blood pack rather quickly to finish it off Klyde tried to help his cousin think up a solution to his problem. Making friends wasn't as easy as it sounded, Klyde was still struggling with that himself and Blade HADN'T slept with Riyo. "I dunno m-m-maybe you should..." Klyde trailed off as he started to feel strange. He tired to stand but his legs felt suddenly weak. "I...I feel weird all of a sudden..."

Teetering on his feet Klyde rested a hand against the bus wall. "Maybe I just ate too fast..." Though he had never felt like this before. It was so odd, like his insides were on fire and it was steadily getting worse. The feeling of being weak was starting to take over and the vampire found himself slowly folding forward toward the floor. "Ah!" There was a sudden jolt of pain like someone had just thrust a knife into his gut which sent the vampire to his knees in a hurry.

Neko tried to recall what he had seen on the GPS. "I think there is one about five miles out. So not too far. We should be able to stock up for a couple of days to at least have something in the house to fix." Looking over to Kohaku he saw the note and gave a nod. "You can help pick things out for meals then. Blade can help me hall stuff back in."

Neko gave a look around thinking perhaps he should check further to make sure there really was nothing in the house beyond edible undergarments and alcohol but something told him he wouldn't like what he would find. "I guess let's go then. People will want dinner soon I'm sure unless you guys planned on eating out."

Lenny had watched the vampires enter the bus confident that the tainted blood packets would lay them out for a while. That left only a small hand full of people in the house to deal with. The one boy he had been warned could use fire so he would be the next to neutralize, the janitor and little blonde girl wouldn't be much of a problem, so it would leave his focus to the true people he was after. Riyo and Mitsu. The feline looked like she might put up a bit of a fight, logically it would be best to go after her first he supposed.

Eyes turning to the horizon Lenny watched the last bit of day light sink away beyond the ocean. It was time to get this party started. Turning to the electrical box the man opened it up and reached inside. Instead of pulling wires or flipping switches he instead held his hand just in front of it a small bolt of electricity jumping from his hand to the box. Instantly the house went dark, the few lights that had been on blinking out.

"Yeah, I-" Desmond had started, noticing his cousin's strange stutter.

Weird? What was...

Oh... Oh man. Now Desmond was feeling it. At first it was just a strange tingling sensation, but then it outright burned. He had to wonder if this was how humans felt when they complained about indigestion... But slowly realized it was much, much worse than that. "K-klyde..." He mumbled as his knees buckled under him, face cringing in pain.

This burning sensation... It was so familiar.

Ready to follow Neko out the door, Kohaku froze in her tracks when the lights suddenly turned off, eyes wide with shock. Unsurprisingly, as Blade turned on his own light, the mute girl jumped a little... But seemed amazed by his little trick shortly after.

What had happened though?

As the lights went out, Riyo's eyes slowly opened, a soft red glow as she glanced around the room. Klyde was gone... And so were the lights. What... Was happening? There were no storms, and it was obvious her father probably paid an arm and a leg for the service out here, so she was doubtful that they'd just go down like that... How strange..
