Welcome to Gaia! ::

"It's really not that bad here. The most you have to worry about is someone getting to handsy." And she had to admit it really wasn't that terrible in house Arushi. For demons, they were all quite nice and friendly. Finally they found her dress and she got dressed; which allowed Lilith one last look at Lucielle when she removed the poncho for that brief time.

After that who knew what was going to happen. An intruder had been sensed and Lucielle was unknowingly with them; and also under their influence to boot. "Of course. It's a pretty big place but I'll bring you around to the more important places to start." She smiled and keeping an old habit from her former self she grabbed her scythe and strapped it to her back. With that she'd hook her elbow with Lily's and they'd start their tour together. It was odd though. She knew the place like the back of her hand but it all seemed so, different now.

"And what if they did?" She asked with a slight smirk; curious to know what her answer to that would be. Lucielle was kinda surprised how easy it was for her to get into character; than again she had been that person for so many years now.
Her attention fell to all the commotion down the hall. Once again she could sense Cerise nearby and two of the other new members of the house. "I don't know. If Cerise is having trouble with the others." She trailed off before she turned and actually started making her way towards where everyone else was. "I should really check and make sure everything is alright. Cerise doesn't sound happy."

Lucielle and Lilith had both made their way into the training room where everyone was pretty much gathered at now. The new house members and Lady Cerise herself. She had in fact given the succubus a hand whenever she stumbled and soon just rehooked their arms to help her out until they were both now standing with all the others. Since everyone else was new, they wouldn't have a clue just how wrong of a picture was being painted here with Lucielle. The biggest issue and one Cerise would notice, was that the pawn was in her human form instead of her Seraphim one. The second thing out of place being the servant in the maid outfit beside her; it wasn't normal for her to show any special attention to any of the servants. Something was very wrong indeed. "My Lady Cerise. I heard you yelling down near my room. Is someone causing you trouble?" She questioned while reaching her free hand back to grip the handle of her scythe. Even in her regained humanity; it still remained that she would kill and fight for her dear lady. She was more than just a leader, she had become a close companion since she had come into the house.

Lucielle hadn't the faintest clue as to who the company was that she was currently keeping. Nor the potentially dangerous spell she was under as well. With no answer from Cerise towards the others she had dropped her hand from her scythe's handle and relaxed a little. At her question she turned her gaze back to Lilith; unaware of the little smile playing along her own lips as she did so. "Oh, well this is one of the new servants Lily. I haven't found anything to be wrong with her so far." She looked back to Cerise as she honestly believed that Lily was just a new servant and not a threat in any sense. Lucielle mind as well be blindfolded at this point.

Asura nodded as he sat in his chair. the young male stood up and began in pursuit, with his blade bouncing against his back. His new outfit symbolized a lot of things. Lust, wrath, anger, his bare chest was exposed leaving lots of people to smile at his body as he walks past. Entering the area where the rest of the people where. "...." Asura just sat and listened as the conversation went about, he looked over to Cerise, then to lucielle, then to the rest, he began sniffing the air to smell almost perfume like incense, Cerise must smell that. "." . ".

Azaizell inspected the brand of House Arushi in all his years he had never heard of a way to duplicate a brand, on top of that he did not feel any animosity coming from the girl. "I see well then allow me to first apologize for the manner with which you were brought here." he simply inclined his head in a casual bow.

He was going to continue until Cerise walked in and immediately he saw the small shimmer of the haze surrounding her. 'So she already knows' the haze of anger he saw his body began to react toward it and he could feel his own wrath growing. the gauntlet began to emanate slow but steady pulsations. "Mistress" he spoke quietly and his own anger evident plainly on his face, his lips pulled back in a snarl and though he adverted his eyes they were solid and piercing with anger. "This breach is a failure that is mine" his words were precise and though he was trying not to show it his anger rattled his voices into a low growl.

When Lucielle and the other girl walked in his eyes quickly found them and his gaze rested on the Maid. 'those eyes, that haze" it was plain as day the deep seeded hatred that tantalized and invited his own. when she spoke the words rang through his head. he know understood how the intruder eluded the search 'If she did not want them to find her they never would have' this realization did nothing the quell his own anger at what he thought of as his own failure.

Lillith vanished and with it the presence of her fury his eyes found cerise again. "Cerise..you know who that was right" his voice low and the corner of his lips twitched in and out of a snarl. "What was Mother" he said the word malice and spite, "Doing delivering a message like a lesser demon." he could scarcely believe it the scorned wife and sister of the first man, the one given credit as the mother of all demon kind, the Serpent bride herself giving a message of a change of status in the form of a tournament. Looking at the two newest members he could still sense remnants of their humanity, they had just been turned and they did not have long to prepare.

____ Blair stuck to watching after that. Noticing the arrival of yet another person she didn't know. He was good looking. Very good looking in fact but the way he carried himself spoke of a bit of a dangerous side to him. A pretty face but not just one. AS she took a moment to study him she felt he had a strong aura so she figured he must also be a piece. Perhaps the one that her mistress left her behind to go retrieve. She turned her attention away and watched the knight and the others as they talked. Who ever the intruder was, Lilith it seemed, she only gave a somewhat rudely delivered message and then vanished. Blair frowned a little. Was that really the same Lilith she had read about in the bible. Her mind wanders as she questioned that, verses coming to mind. Of course followed by a short burst of pain in her head. Blair groaned softly and rubbed her temples until the pain receded. This is exactly why she said she would have to abandon her teachings. Praying would definitely be bad for her health if just recalling the 'holy words' in the bible was painful.

____ Blair looked up at Cerise when she spoke up. It seemed that they were to get along. She opened herself to questions again as well which brought to mind her earlier conversation. "Well, if you are answering questions could you start with those from when we left off... Also this tournament, what exactly will it entail? What is it exactly that demons do for tournament?" Blair was filled with questions. The longer she was here the more she came up with. But the big ones she had already posed to Cerise before, hopefully now she could get some answers. She wanted to know what was expected of her just as much what exactly she was now.

“To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves.”

Eyes closed when both of them asked questions about the tournament and Blair asking if she can answer the questions from before. The redhead succubus finally opened her eyes. Now is the time to talk and explain everything, even if it's too much for them. They must know. "Close the doors." She bellowed without turning around. The crowd of servants disperse and close the large doors before Cerise can begin to explain. "I am Cerise Arushi, ruler of this house and obviously I'm a Succubus. I chose you all because I saw potential in you and great skill. My plan is for all of us to work together and rebuild our house the way it used to be. To show others we aren't a force to be reckoned with. Blair! Asura! What I did to you isn't a game but part of my plan to bring the Arushi name back on top. But also to see you two improve and show your try abilities in battle. I also want you all to feel welcome here and not as tools to be used." Cerise crossed her arms over her breasts. Taking a few steps into the group.

"This tournament is a way of each house placing one of their own champion into battle against a random opponent. To not only show off their powers but to also represent their house. There are multiple types of demons out there waiting for the day to come. But questions is.. are any of you truly ready? To represent Arushi." Crimson eyes looked over to Asura. "I know this must be too much for you and I understand." She did use the kiss of death on him and turned him into a demon. Cerise wondered what Asura is thinking after witnessing what just happened.

"Anymore questions?" Cerise asked all four of them. Since she had spare time to finally speak to all of them. "OH! Introductions!" The Succubus clapped her hands together, the sound echoed loudly throughout the room. "This here is Lucielle, my dear servant and close friend. Don't underestimate her abilities for a second." She said to them while she walked behind Lucielle and placed both hands on her shoulders for a moment before walking behind Azaizell and smirked. "This handsome devil here is Azaizell who is able to manipulate rage in all and his other abilities are interesting. Can't wait to see him in actions." She teased before moving on to Blair. "This beautiful darling here is Blair. When I first confronted her, the aura felt different and unique." Now the finale, Asura. "Asura is the physical powerhouse. His abilities are high in damage and defense strong."

Afterwards Cerise left Asura's side and stood in the middle of everyone. The only thing missing is to recruit one more person and this time it will be a challenge. She silently looked into everyone's eyes, wondering if they are ready to face the other houses out there. Cerise stood there, looking at their faces for any hint of doubt or fear.
