Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sage got up and plopped Sam onto the ground. "Now lets go look for people we know" Sage said as she wiped the dirt off of her fur
Sam sat quietly with her butt on the ground still in shock that her sister just threw her on the ground. "Why'd you do that?"
Sage offered her paw to her little sister to help her up. "You were killing my back and crushing my lungs, I needed to breathe you know!"
Sam took her sisters paw and pulled herself up. "I'm sorry, I guess I was too excited"

Sage tugged on Sams paw a little. "Now lets go". Sam smiled and nodded. "Can we run?" Sage nodded yes and began to ran with her little sister around the ship, the next thing they both knew was hitting a Monkey"

As Sage got up and rubbed her skull she noticed it was the same monkey that she tried to make friends with when she was a child. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry Brice, I didn't see you there!!" Sage offered her paw to Brice with a nervous smile on. Sam already pulled herself up and hid behind her big sister, she had never seen Brice before and didn't know if she was nice or not.

Sage wiped the sweat off her skull "Whew! Yeah we're going on the trip" Sage looked down at Sam who was hiding behind Sage's legs "This is my little sister Sam"

Sam scooted infront of her sister and looked up at Brice. "Hello"

Brick had paced back and forth on the deck long enough to work himself into quite an accute anger. He decided that this was all Luna's fault and that he needed to confront her right now. Before they got underway and before he took that impure to the island. Yes that was what needed doing.

But once he got to Luna's cabin, The yellow eared Islander found nothing but her meager luggage. With an angry sigh he knocked on Vayle's cabin, only to be informed that Luna was most likely wandering the ship.... the heck with that.

"LUNA! LUUUUNA!" He bellowed the black eared woman's name across the ship... surely everyone could hear... and he traveled down to the middle deck where the bunks were in order to be better heard.

Luna shrunk back as Banda snapped at her, and then almost imediately took up the careful guarded demeanor that was her nature back on the island. She slowly slid out of the hammock letting her feet hit the floor. "You know what? It's me. I bring out the worst in people." She laid a hand on the doorknob. "I'll just go and... "

"LLLUUUUUUUNA! NOW! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU NOW!"

Luna merely blinked and opened the door. Brick streamed past, not noticing her at all and so she stepped out behind him. "What are you? Crazy? I'm right here."

"You... You let an impure aboard! Now there's an impure who thinks she's going to the island. Do you know what that means?" He was steaming, and visibly upset.... until he looked over Luna's shoulder and saw Banda standing there.... humanoid ears and all. .... .... .... .... .... ... "How many impures are there on my ship Luna? How many?" The last two sentances were dead calm... much scarier that the first.

Seeing as to how Brick was standing right outside Banda and Delia's bunk, and Gus and Mauli's bunk was right across the small hall... it wasn't hard for both of them to hear everything Brick had said... and Gus's long ears flattened out behind him as he tried his best to sink away from both the door and Mauli at the same time.

((feel free to respond... in any way your characters see fit. ^_^ You won't get booted from the ship and Brick can handle anything you can throw at him ^_^ including Mauli XD ))

"Luna..." He sighed and stepped after her to catch her with a hand on her arm. "I didn't mean it, I'm just on edge with Venoch right outside and--" And the door swung open and there was Brick. Banda let his hand fall, taking a small step back towards the girl on the hammock, who had by this time stopped swinging to peek uncertainly from her perch, curious as to what all the yelling was about. When the shouting did end, however, the tone that replaced it left Banda wishing the harsh anger would return in its place. There was something altogether unnerving about the underlying hatred in Brick's voice; it reminded him of Venoch.

Banda remained where he was a moment longer, then turned his back on the pair and the newly-arrived Mauli, stepping with forced calm back over to Delia and offering her a reassuring smile.

Banda kept his back to the arguing pair, arms folded across his stomach, and soon turned his eyes away from Delia to focus on nothing in particular--the porthole, perhaps, and the murky water leaking from it down the wall. About midway through the argument, Delia finally slid off the hammock and ran forward the short few steps to Banda, ducking to hide under his ever-present old coat, and provoking a smile from the older SM.

Words were not needed. Speech was uncommon between the two. For the longest time, he hadn't been able to hear, and she hadn't been able to speak, and so they had refrained from it almost entirely. There were many ways to communicate without speaking.

With his back to Luna, her apology went utterly unnoticed. Indeed, it took Banda a moment to realize she was good, but he wasn't terribly upset by the fact when he did. He had a feeling they wouldn't be speaking much on this trip, himself and Luna. Especially if Brick had anything to do with it. Of course, if Brick had his way, they would either be tossed back on shore in the next couple of minutes, or... "I think we're going to be down here for a lot of the trip, Dee. We should probably see if we can make the place remotely inhabitable."

Sam smiled and thanked Brice for the compliment and went right back to hiding behind her sisters leg.

Sage rubbed her skull and let out a nervous laugh."I'm not sure, We haven't really met everyone here yet and we have no idea where thr rooms are, we had to ask Nell about ours."

Sam heard her sister talking about the rooms. "We still don't know where every thing is"

Nell popped her stawhat covered head out of her cabin as she heard Brick's footsteps leaving. She'd had the pleasure of meeting Brick before, and she had made her mind up before she even set foot on the boat to avoid the man at all costs.

She did indeed see Brick retreating... and she also saw Brice standing at the corner of the hallway looking lost and confused. ... so Nell called out to her. "Brice! Brice! Down here. Hey roomie." She smiled at the young Smo. "nice suitcase."
