Welcome to Gaia! ::

Einji released his sword, the weapon falling from his hand, disappearing in a puff of black smoke before the blade his the ground. He turned slightly, so that he could get a good look at the whole group, his arms crossing slighlty over his chest as his wings faded away. "...I would like to know of this, situation...and who the hell that cocky b***h was, myself.." He stopped suddenly, taking a look around the room, his eyes slowly settling on Karu as he grinned slightly. "...So Karu...where is your little fan boy...You know..Arse or what ever his name was?" Of course Einji actually remembered his name, but no one else knew that.

(( xd god i love you for that Dark!))

Karu's ear twitched with annoyment, she hated the whole situation. What had Faith been thinking? Then again, could she really blame her for her quick decision. Had she not known Teri and Nathan herself, would she not want the same outcome. She took a deep inhale from the cigarette, and nearly chocked on the smoke because of Dark's comment. She coughed slightly as she turned her wide eyes towards him. A sad and embarrassed look fell on her face as she looked away exhaling what smoke was left in her lungs. "He's dead." She said it so matter-of-factly as she stood up and brushed herself off. Her face went emotionless as she cleared her throat. "The only person that really knows what is going on is Faith herself, and that sister of her's." She had changed the subject so quickly and smoothly, not wanting at all to even thinking about the male in her life that was so eager to leave it. The only hint of her aggitation of the topic was her lashing puffed tail. "The only way to talk to Faith now..." She looked over at Teri. "...is through her." She knew Gippal would understand the complexity of just what that meant. He knew Faith's struggle better than any of them.

Karu took a deep breath. Memories of the mansion, did she even want to begin telling the history of their friendship? She looked over at Dark, the silver slits focused intensly on him. "This mansion... is where it all started for the four of us." She looked over at Nathan before taking another draw on her cigarette to give her enough time to collect her thoughts. "Short story is, we all met here. Faith was the youngest of us all, and the most energetic. She was a good friend to us all, until her death." Smoke filtered through her words as she spoke. She paused only to contemplate. "There's only so much I could have done for a person who isn't willing. Her own sister is the one that did it, so if you're going to have beef have it with her."

"...Bout time..." Was the only answer he offered Karu as she answered his question, his attention drawn to the discussion held around the room. He showed no hint of the shock he felt when he heard of Faith's death, kicking himself on the inside for not having been around to possibly protect her, the dark angel having always thought of her as the annoying little sister he never had. He immediately trained his eyes in on Teri as he drew the conclusion that Faith's soul must reside inside the unknown girl's body. "...So let me get this straight...Faith died...something I would like more detail on when we have a moment, and her soul is somehow in this child's body?"

Karu snorted at the idea of being called really really really old, she flicked her spent cigarette towards Gippal as a warning to be careful of what he said. She'd never really hurt him, but she did absolutely hated being reminded of just how long she's had to live. "First off, I'm not a skitso, and secondly I have a feeling that Sarai plans to do the same to me. If not that, she does intend to manipulate me into her sick little plan." Karu pulled out another cigarette and lit it up, her tradmark tell of her being in a stressful situation. Her tail lashed as she went into a deep thought. Pacing back and forth she looked up at Dark then and Gippal, and lastly at the twins. "Well we can be for damn sure I'm not choosing between friends. I have too few of them to have that benefit. However, I say my mansion is a hell of a lot more comfortable than this... ship." She spat the word out with great detest. She had been on this particular ship longer than she ever had wished to. She began to walk towards the exit and to the mansion located not far from them.

"My my, you young people really don't know how to think outside the box, do you?" A male voice seemed to call out from the air. A small fire burst forth, a strange man walking through, fire disappearing once he had emerged.

The man stood with an old straw hat covering most of his face, two holes in the top where his obsidian horns stuck through. His skin was golden brown, his hair like a raging flame. His clothes looked like they had been worn for ages, his baggy black pants and tattered remains of a cloak rather worse for wear. He wore a pair of original style wooden sandals, with a pair of rings of burning red beads upon each wrist.

Everyone in the room with a nose would notice his smell too, sulphur and brimstone, not the most pleasant odor. It drifted from him on the air like the smell of a wonderful meal cooking in the oven, although this smelling far worse.

With a grin, the man spoke, his voice reminding everyone of a crackling fire. "So, just what happens if both survive, hmm? We haven't covered all the possibilities just yet."

(( WAAAHH!!!! gonk *runs around in circles yanking on her hair* IM SO SORRY!!! I've been so busy with my art and school work I'm so sorry I havent been posting!! Im such a bad moderator!! *swivles to the floor and bows deeply, the deepliest she can go!* GOMEN!!!! GOMEN!!!! ))

"No one's going to die Nathan. Not so long as I can help it. Besides, even if he does die and I remain, whts stopping Faith's sister from choosing another victim until she gets Faith back. I dont want people to die because I'm living.. er.. not living.. uh..." Teri's face became slightly distorted with confusion until she shook it off. "Reguardless of any of that, lets just take things on one at a time adn try to figure our ways out of this."

The kitsune smiled sweetly and reached up rubbing her brother's ear endearingly. "Now quit acting like the tough guy and just get along with these people. Karu is nice and Gippal seems to be as well, not so sure about the winged man but he seems to know a ting or two about sticky situations such as this."

She pat his head and walked towards the door. Her ears suddenly drooped and she placed her hand over her nose, "Gross! Smells like rotting eggs!" Curiouse she left the ship to find a very tall man with a straw hat upon his head.
