Welcome to Gaia! ::

(sounds fun. smile )

Moa looked at them both with a soft smile when it was told that she looks like she just got out of the fire. "Yes... I know.... It is only fair since that was really that last thing I remember before waking up in an alley." She walked over to Aiden and gave her a hug.

It was quickly interrupted when she heard Timont say something about needing to go. Her crimson eyes blinked a few times and then looked over at Aiden. "Um... I think it would be best if Aiden was driven.... If you really don't mind that is."

Puzzled, Aiden raised her eyebrows. There was little to nothing to make sense of and so was the look on her face still as Moa came in for a hug. An arm wrapped lightly around the wolf-woman and Aiden would hold it for three seconds, before pulling back and perhaps a bit much to attempt to resolve her jumbled mind. "But it's been three days and you're all the way in Novum Fulgar. That's so weird! Like how'd you..."

Timont had cut in. It was something so urgent that curious and impatient Aiden would have to wait to hear more of Moa's three-day adventure. Aiden looked behind her, all the way to her previous position, performing one last check to see that all belongings were in her possession. "Yep," she said frowning, "like Moa here said- definitely take us to the hotel unless Moa here is still afraid of cars."

Aiden had no planned courteously for Moa's freights. They'd ride together and Aiden would get her story. Aiden watched as Timont had taken no time to part himself for the moment and was far down and then gone from sight in the hallway. "Moa Moa Moa...." she started once silence had seem to consume their time together at the doorway, "shall we?" A hand gestured out to the hallway and Aiden taking the lead started assuming Moa would shut the door behind.

It was a silver car, older, simple aside from a history marked by scratches, and moved so ungracefully above the road. Such a beautiful apartment, but what s**t car. The vehicle came around the corner and in front where Aiden been standing nearly about the start tapping her feet. She reached for a handle and pulled only to expose the stained interiors, which she'd only questioned once and quickly in her mind. She jumped in the passenger seat. "So how good are your driving skills anyway?"

Moa had stopped when she heard of her fear from Aiden. She stopped and then looked around after Timont had left and sighed. "Well, I am still afraid of them, but it will not really be good for me to just run along side the car so I will go." she said before leaving with Aiden down to the car. "As for the three days I will tell you about them in a little bit."

Once in the car after Aiden got in she bit her lip lightly until the breaks were slammed and she gripped onto the handle tightly. Too tightly for most people as she made a dent in the metal. At that point when she gave a great sigh she heard Timont's question. She laughed nervously before speaking. "Well, it is something of an interesting story..... I had been traveling from the west to the east and ended up in Aes where I met a few people. One of them being Aiden. She was completely drunk at that time with another girl. Since that day I had been around Aiden and the rest until I lost contact with them, but then met up again for the party where the fire was."

At that moment she stopped talking and looked down with pain in her eyes as she covered them with her free hand. "I don't really know what happened... All I remember is the screaming, and running, then the flames and smells of death. I jumped to help people out, but as the place burned.... I guess I fell and then woke up in the alley that was right next to it. After that I had been walking around dazed for three days.... I didn't know where I was going or who I knew or anything. All I knew was that I had to head back and lead people to the west.... Problem was I didn't know who. That is until I sensed Aiden as I was walking by the apartment. Wolf senses I guess." Her wolf ears where out again from the cars movement. She still felt very uncomfortable in cars.

She would be forever in denial when someone tried to distinguish a moment in which Aiden had been drunk. Aiden looked at Moa from the rear mirror, her lips curled and eyebrows raised. "I don't know about completely drunk. I wasn't exactly dancing on tables or anything." She then turned to Timont to further defend herself. "Don't think last night was drunk either. You'll know when Aiden Hymns is drunk." A finger pointed narrowly in Timont's direction.

The day Moa had been talking about had been the longest of Aiden's days. She'd met Vossler then, and it was moments after this first meeting that Aiden would have one of the high commander's machine's in her face as a threat to pull the weapon's trader's body inside out. It was also the day Aiden made what would've been the best alliance of her life.

Although close and easily accessible any other time than the mornings rush hour, the way to the Emerald Roof asked by road asked for the use of main roads and when the car had to slow with the abundance of traffic, Aiden bit her lip. Real or not, Aiden felt the uneasy tension of going nowhere. She let the pause of thought consume a good moment, but then she said, "Moa, I'm sorry. I really did think you had disappeared with the others."

(It's also cool is Nina makes her first appearance anytime.)

Then and absolutely not three days past, every loathing feeling was complimented by an act of solution. The adeline had not died down and now, there was the magnificent power to quiet the voice of a good conscience.

Silently standing just to the side of Aziz, he looked for a signal made and it would be then that he'd easily let the impulse carry the bundle of his next decision. Even though so aware of his former self of practical reasoning, he was met by hopeful cravings.

He only looked forward, but he was not staring into the distance where the checkpoint's ending gate was marking the beginning of the metallic city. Rather, while eyes had no destination as Manson was a man who saw all, his ears were lurking for hints to release himself from the tense moment and make it all end his way.

How quickly Aziz's confidence had become available to the scene was how quickly the minion's thoughts would have to retreat and remain only part of a daydream. Upon approval to enter, Manson then appropriately looked at the guards and nodded once and curled a gentlemanly smile before pursuing to close the gap that Aziz had made by motioning towards the first gate. Mouthing anything in there trip through a checkpoint would have daring and although a bold man, Manson would allow the silence till they were away and gone.

At Aziz's exact side, Manson linked his hands behind his back. His lips were tightly pursed, except for the spared moment of when he talk. "Very impressive dear. I had no hint you were so well prepared. Now what's in store for us?"

Aiden was loosely concentrated on the view from outside her window. Out there, when the sun hit and then dulled the neon, the city became a large mirror and reflected down in the depths where glass met concrete was the up and down passage of black suits. In moments, she realized her own tired and warped reflection was staring right back at her, souring upon notice of her current failing appearance. "I don't think they're dead Moa. They're somewhere without us having a good time being all alive and that jazz. They just forgot to send us the invites."

Hungover Aiden unbuckled her seat belt and slumped down, her elbow on car door and cheek laying the weight of the girl's head on her palm. Eyes glared at the traffic, which little progress was made through.

A thought perked up and anyone could see she had become uncomfortable as eyes squinted in lost thought and body adjusted strait with arms loose to her sides when her inside cautioned to bring herself to be a bearer of bad news. She looked in the side mirror to see the person she wanted to talk to before she'd bring up what was next. "Moa, you say you've just been wandering for three days? I mean that's cool and I'm not going to question that, but you've seen the news, right? You know about Vossler, right."

She regretted saying anything immediately. Even newer to Aiden's system was the feeling of guilt. She'd taken part in the little secret of Vossler's death and now she was asked to play pretend as a victim of a terrible surprise. Sight narrowed to her knees which met tightly and fingers didn't dare to do anything to avoid even the slightest hint of the shame. It was also in this moment that Aiden would have seen Nina for the first time.

Aiden had not noticed the machine first, but instead the sun that reflected strait off android's sprinting body and into Aiden's vision, causing her to wince and then thusly stealing away Aiden's darkened thoughts as the form became clear in the just after. And how strange and virgin was the sight of a machine like such running like there was a dear life to be saved.
