Welcome to Gaia! ::

This kind of felt like high school all over again, what with trying to get into groups with your friends, but Eva didn't care. Yeees to having Reine in the same group!

And oh ho, so was the other epsilon going to be their last member? The grin on the girl's face grew larger. "Yup, I'm Eva! Morning to you, Harrison--good to be working with you again." The actually mission was still a mystery, though it must have been pretty important if this Aria lady had to call an emergency meeting for it. What on earth could have happened?

She didn't have much time to dwell on the subject when she heard Reine say her name. Snapping to attention, Eva turned to look at her friend curiously, only to laugh and give her a little nudge in the side. "Oh god, Reine. Don't get their hopes up that I'm anything but terrible! I'll try my best, though, that I can promise!"

Gale sent the text anyway.



He sent a similar message to another friend:

Deryk grimaced a bit as Robert decided to pull Otto into the group. This couldn't be a very good sign. And then another person was pulled in. A girl to break up the sausage fest this group was turning out to be.

"Oh. Uh. Hi," he greeted before looking around. They had a relatively solid group, it looked like.






((IDC THAT I'M QUOTING MYSELF JUST SIMPLIFYING THINGS))

Tedan snorted softly at Leon and nodded at that. "Yea, exactly. Figure it's better to get this outta the way now, y'know?" He smirked faintly and nodded, looking around. They just needed ... what? A Moon or a Mist Hunter now?

"Yo, any Moons or Mists still free?" Tedan called out, raising a hand up and waving it back and forth a couple of times.

If the dark-haired girl seemed at all offended or flattered that her fiance had basically threatened to castrate anyone who touched her, she didn't show it beyond another skeptical look, which really could have meant any number of things. Or nothing at all. It was quite possible she was thinking about what she'd had for breakfast this morning (haha, breakfast? For Trainees?) or, far more likely, some of the more intimate things that happened behind closed doors. Like conversations. At any rate, within a few moments she just shook her head a little as if clearing whatever thought she had been having, turning back to the others to give them as friendly a look as she could. Jordan could have attested that it was actually great progress, all things considered, but for the most part it just seemed to be mild interest.

"Hello," she replied to Deryk casually, as if Robert hadn't just threatened his manhood for her benefit. Possibly because it was a common occurrence. Her attention drawn by his greeting, she took the moment to likely completely undo the progress she had made in the 'friendly' look by looking him over, most like a scanner or a radar than a girl at a nightclub, midnight blue eyes flicking down over him before returning to his face.






((Following Blade's example, because it makes quoting easy >3>))

"Mission," said Gale, with a glance up at Davey. "We're forming groups - mind being in ours? This is Kat and Ryan, and I'm waiting to hear back from Tika and see if she'd be up for joining as well.

His eyes cut sideways to the one-armed hunter.

"And Aria's back."

What? What was happening now? Otto rubbed his head from Roberts small smack, looking over at the group that had formed.

Uh... he'd been conscripted?

Otto's eyes lifted to Jordon, giving him raised brow at the nod. Attention was drawn back to Robert and his warning. Honestly, was that necessary. Otto waved a hand in a dismissive manner as his response. Sort of like saying yeah yeah whatever but not.

So far, no one gave him a reason to misbehave. For now.

"Sure, happy to help," Davey absently replied. He nodded to Kat and Ryan - more of the 'hatchlings'? - who would have to forgive him for not being much for shaking hands when he could help it. His hand was tangled in his dogtags instead, tracing the sword imprint on Azrael's lesser form.

(Azrael would like it known that he was in no way purring under the attention. Davey is a big fat liar, don't believe a word he says.)

"And Aria's back."

That had Davey's head snapping back to Gale. "What!? How? She's the enemy."

Never mind the fact that she'd become a giant monster who'd then been turned to bone. (Davey still had one of the teeth as a souvenir.) Maybe there were supernatural ways to come back from that, why the hell not, but why would Caelius and Dr H not be killing her the moment they saw her?
