Welcome to Gaia! ::

Temari stood up from her futon, closing her kimono after she had just finished feeding her own children. "Hello! Hello!" She exclaimed as she left her room and walked into the main room, giving Alexander a hug and Tomoe a kiss on her cheek. "Inuyasha! Tomoe and Alexander are here! Please bring out Kaoru with you." She called out to her mate who was in another room before turning her attention back to her daughter.

"Hey mom," Tomoe said with a smile before she looked over at Alexander with a giggle. "So how has everything been here? How has Kaoru been? Not too much trouble I hope."

"No, I'm fine, thanks. I saw Faya when we were in the after life together, so we've caught up and settled our differences." Bunko told him with a smile as she snuggled closer to him. "I would rather spend more time with you my love, since I have become such a burden to you. Maybe we should have a nice romantic night tonight, just you and me, to catch up on things and reconnect?" She proposed to him with a grin and a wink, hoping to know that he wanted the same thing as she did.

When Faya heard what Scout told her, she then looked up at him, tilting her head to one side as she listened intently. "The children really said that about me? That's so sweet!" She exclaimed with a smile. It was then she looked him over once with a sly grin, chuckling a bit now. "Heh, come to think of it, you must have been talking to those kids about me alot to hear all that you have. If memory serves me correct, you cried a lot when I died, didn't you Scout?" She told him with a sheepish grin and wink.

"Yeah, no problem." Collette said with a smile before she shrugged her shoulders. At Kikyo's question she placed a hand under her chin, to symbolize that she was thinking before she began, "Well, I didn't even know that she was recreated until today, but she might have been around for awhile now for all we know." She said before she nodded. "Yeah, knowing Faya, that's most likely where she is."

"Oooh~! Can we go there? Please, can we?" Azmaria exclaimed with child-like excitement, bouncing up and down slightly as she clasped her hands together. She then looked over to Luki, blushing lightly since she had just embarrassed herself in front of two handsome men. "I mean, if it's not out of the way or anything."

Oomizu looked up to Maverick with surprise and thankfulness. "You'd do that for me?" She grinned and glomped Maverick before planting a kiss on his cheek. "You're such a sweetie! Thank you~!" She released him from the death grip hug before she standing up. "If it's not too much trouble, could you get a chicken finger sandwich for me? Plain. I don't like some of the stuff they throw on top of it." She crinkled her nose slightly as emphasis. "And a white chocolate macadamia cookie for Uncle Jack." She then focussed her attention back to the watch. "I'll send out a little note through the watches while I'm soaking since you know how spread up our group can get when they're relaxing."

Crap. Scout couldn't use the lie of having something in his eye so not crying since that'd make him sound like a douche bag. But he didn't want to seem like a pansy for getting all weepy when Faya died and then skipping the funeral since he knew he'd probably get depressed seeing as it was his first time having to see some one die for real. Really, there wasn't any sort of lie he culd use that wouldn't make him sound like an a** hole... "I wasn't cryin' that hard! Your making stuff up." He turned his head away from her, trying not to blush, which was another thing he didn't want her seeing since it's make him feel even more like a loser for even partially admitting he did cry.

Kikyo nodded before she spotted her soul collector flying towards her. "Ah, there you are. Where's Navi?" She listened to the light hissing of the soul collector before she sighed. "You left her behind? I specifically told you to stay with her. Well, where is Faya going?" More hissing came from the creature before she nodded. "Alright. Go keep an eye on her again. This time, if you find Navi, stay with her. If Faya leaves, come tell me where she is off to." The soul collector flew off once more before she turned to Collette. "She is with Scout, and the two are going to a small American-style diner. We can wait for her to come out of the diner."

Gakupo grinned widely and gave a light chuckle. Clearly she was the kind to normally stay refined and quiet when in the company of others. He actually thought it was kind of cute how excited she had gotten. "I wouldn't mind having some food like we have back home. And I know Luki won't complain about having his tuna, even if it isn't his usual Ooma tuna."
Luki huffed lightly and looked up to Gakupo with a bit of a regal expression. "Shows what you know. Ooma isn't my usual tuna. Master won't let us get it because he says it's too expensive."
Gakupo looked down to Luki apologetically and held his hands up to show he meant no offense. "Ah, right. You'd think with how often you two talk about that sort of stuff I would remember how depressed you usually get at the mention of it. Gomen." He then leaned in close to Azmaria and whisped quietly, "You need to be careful about talking about fish with Megurines. They know what they're talking about and will go on forever about it if you upset them enough."
Luki huffed since he could hear Gakupo and stood up before dusting his pants off. "It's rude to talk about me like I can't hear you." He then looked to Azmaria and smiled lightly. "Shall we go?" It was obvious by the way the two were acting to each other that neither of them took any of their fighting to heart. If anything, they were just joking with each other.

Soldier laughed at Medic's question. "Of course they have good beer here! Any good American place has even better beer!" Yeah, asking Soldier if they had good beer probably wasn't the best of ideas. As the American read the drink menu, though, he lifted an eyebrow in confusion. "Light beer? What the blazes is Light beer?"

Nerwin carfuly watched and listened to Croix as he showed her around, places she made sure to remember the location of was the town square and library. however when Croix mentioned the hot springs her eyes got wide and her face turned a dark pink almost red. "thanks for the warning ill try to keep that in mind" sure she had been brought together with a man or two before, but soon after she always found out what they where really after. the glory that came with your parents having scarified themselves to save a village. after this had happened a few times she had given up on finding someone, but hopefully maybe if this place became her home she might find someone. Nerwin continued to fallow Croix, and after a while she asked the question that she had been wondering for a while. "what does a person do for work around here? i know you said there's no charge to stay here, but what about food and stuff is that free to or do i have to pay for it?"

(( That was epic!!!))

Maverick smirked and nodded "Of course i would do that for you your my girl after all" he told her in a smug fashion. "Ok then, so some chicken fingers and some cookies. Ill get you a meal just to be sure you have enough. Heavens knows how long its been since you last had a good meal babe." he said as he looked over to Jack and nodded. "Ok ill see you all in a bit. " he told them as he walked off.

Heavy looked over to the spy a bit insulted. "Vat? you think fighting for land is all i vant to do for rest of life? No no my friend. There are other things vorth fighting for. Do not talk bad of my gun. Even though you see it as obsession Natasha is one of the only things that has stayed by side and helped me out of tough situations. When i get abandoned by medic or other team mates, it is my guns that help me survive." he told him

Inuyasha growled as he walked out with Kaoru pulling on his hair and reaching for his ears. "She is a feisty one " he told them as he approached Tomoe and Alexander. "So how did everything go? "

Alexander nodded as he took his daughter outta his father in law's hands "Yea it was ok at the end. but for a moment there i thought the battle had been lost" he sighed as he cuddled with his daughter.

Lord Inu couldnt help but smirk. She was just as seductive as ever.He couldnt help but want her. "If you feel up to it then of course i will take you up on that offer" he winked to her as he kissed her lips gently. "Shall we head home then?"

Croix nodded. "Well yes and no. new residents are allowed to settle before starting a job. That pays what needs to be paid. however people like me and my friends do not pay for anything since we are the city's elite defenders. Its kinda like special treatment, but hey if we cant get the equipment we need fast the city might be in danger. Dont worry though the people we get our free stuff from still get paid. Its just done from the main city hall. So what do you do if you dont mind me asking? Your not a fighter by chance now? We can always use more fighters to help defend the city."

Some how, Scout's face turned a little bit redder when she kissed him. Well, it wasn't like he was really blushing that hard to begin with, but he didn't even know he was capable of blushing in the first place. The fact that it did turn slightly more red was something surprising and made him wonder if h should go talk to Medic about it. He looked down to Faya and rubbed the back of his neck with a light smile. " 'Ey, thanks. You're alright."

Luki smiled lightly and offered his arm for her to link her's with. As he did so, Gakupo did the same. "Shall we?"
Gakupo smiled lightly. "I'm sure you'll enjoy it, Azmaria-chan. I read that the one we're going to has some sort of show as they prepare the meals in front of you."
Luki tilted his head lightly and blinked. "Since when do they do that at Habachis?"
Gakupo smiled lightly and gave a light shrug. "No clue, but it sounds entertaining none the less. Maybe it's something they do here since they aren't as common?"

Kikyo smiled lightly to Collette. "I will be fine for, but if you are hungry or in need of anything, then I will not mind."

Oomizu smiled and kissed Maverick on the cheek once more. "Thanks babe. I'll see you soon." She gave a light wave before she turned and headed for the springs. Once she arrived, she went ahead and showered with her clothing on since they were pretty dirty as well. Once they were clean, she went to the changing area for women and hung the half metal/ half cloth armor up to dry some before she wrapped a towel around herself and headed into the springs and began fiddling with her watch to prepare the message she was going to send to everyone.

Soldier grinned and nodded. "Good thinking! I think I saw Blue Streak one the menu some where!" When the waitress came, Soldier ordered two classic bacon cheese burgers and a Blue Streak for both. She asked if he wanted it light, he asked what the hell "light" meant and she took it as a no.

Meiko stepped back from what she had painted and grinned before she pointed to it using the roller in her hand accompanied with a grin on her face as she turned to Souji. "Look, Souji! I did a great job, even with the paint so drippy!" She had painted the Vocaloid logo on the side of the building... And she was very proud of it.

Tomoe smiled gently as her father entered the room. Out of respect, she folded her hands before her and bowed to him, like she was taught to do to her elders. Then she stood up and walked over to him, hugging him tightly. It seemed like she has been seeing less and less of her father, especially since she had last trained with him, when she was pregnant. That felt like forever ago. After a moment or two, she let go and walked back over to Alexander, cooing her daughter for a moment. "Yes, she does have her father's fiesty attitude of course." The young demoness said before she looked up to her father, nodding with Alexander's response. "There were many casualties, but all were ressurected. It was the strangest sight I've ever seen. But I guess the gods looked out for those lost and wanted them to help rebuild the broken city." She said with an endearing smile.

"Yes love. Let's go home. Together." Bunko whispered to him as she took his hand in her own and they walked down from the training grounds to the home that she had shared with him and Faya. It seemed like forever since she had laid foot in the house. It was so dark, so she flipped on a few lights and smirked. The house looked exactly how they left it, which was strange because it made her wonder where Inutaishou stayed when she and Faya were dead, if he even left the house. But after a moment, she closed and locked the door behind her and led him up the stares after her. When they reached the top, she kissed him passionately as she closed her eyes, holding him close to her.

Collette smiled to Kikyo before she shrugged her shoulders, not really wanting to remove her hands from her pockets because then they would get cold again, and they were just starting to get all warm n' toasty too! "Well I am hungry, but I don't wanna drag you along with me to a place you don't wanna go. Now that I know that she's with Scout, I'll stay generally close and keep an eye out for his aura, since that seems to be an easier thing to track than her own." The young psychic replied basically as truthfully as she could. Really she wanted to go to a bar since she needed a cold drink to help get her mind off of the headache that's been around since she got here, but she couldn't say that. Kikyo thought she was 17 for pete's sake.

Azmaria smiled. It had been so long since she had been out like this. Well mainly because back home she was a budding pre-teen, not in her wildest dreams (although none of them went beyond the scandal of...*gasp* kissing!) would she ever be linking arms with two extremely handsome men at the same time going out on a "date" with the two of them. She giggled at that thought before she did link arms with them and they started out on the short trek to the Habachi place. As they talked, she closed her eyes and dreamily thought of all of the exotic fish that she would try. It seemed so appetizing to her, although she never had it before. But her unwielding optimism about it kept her head on straight to say the least. "It does sound entertaining," The silver-haired girl began with a grin, looking from one to the other. "But since this is a different experience for all of us, doesn't make it the least bit more boring. It's really exciting."

Faya noticed how Scout's face became a bit redder with the addition of a blush gracing his features gently. With that, she grinned back up to him as she backed away from his face, now looking forward. Through her peripherals she was able to see Scout looking down at her once more. Tilting her head just a bit in his direction, upwards as well, she nodded up to him. "Thanks, you're pretty alright yourself." She told him with a light giggle before she looked forward. "Oh, looks like we're here already." She said as she pointed to the restaurant that was right in front of them, on their left-hand side. "C'mon, let's go fill our bellies with American goodness!" She exclaimed, thrusting a hand in the air with a joyous grin, laughing at her own stupidity gladly.

Oomizu finished the last of the message and smiled before she sent it out to every one who owned a watch. Once sent, Oomizu sighed and reclined joyfully into the warm waters of the hot spring. The message read:

"Dragon hunting in roughly half an hour. Meet at the Portal Room as soon as you can if you wish to participate. Participation is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended and will be appreciated since any captures will help go towards the protection of the city.

-Oomizu"

Soldier gave an agreeing nod before he heard both his watch and the doctor's watch give off a ping. He looked questioningly to the watch and saw that on his screen it read something about "One New Message". He tilted his head and lifted an eyebrow before he looked up to Medic. "Any clue how to get to this message?" He sat up some and reached his arm across the table to show Medic his watch.

Scout gave out an "Oh yeah!" to match what Faya said when he heard his watch ping. He looked down to it in confusion before he held his wrist up and began fiddling with it until he finally managed to get the message to show. He read it, mouthing the words a little as he did, before he shook his head with a "What the Hell?" expression and reread it. He then looked up to Faya and asked, "Hey, you're friends wid dis Oomizu chick, right? Is she serious when she says "Dragon huntin' in half an hour"? Dragons aren't real... Are they?"

Both Gakupo and Luki nodded in agreement to Azmaria's statement before their watches pinged. Both glanced at their watches and read the message before Luki smirked lightly. "They have dragons here, too? Luka would love that..."
Gakupo chuckled lightly and nodded. "I might have to skip story telling after all. The sound of catching a dragon is too tempting not to take up. I hope you'll forgive me if I leave you two after dinner, Azmaria-chan." The three arrived to the habaki grill and paused outside the door.

Kikyo smiled lightly. "It is fine. You go do what ever you need to. I can keep an eye on the restaurant and let you know when they are about to leave if you need me to." Her watch-- Yes she still had one-- pinged and she quickly lifted it to see what the message was. She read what her daughter had to say and sighed. Why was it her daughter was so into the idea of getting a dragon...? She hoped at least one of her children had the sense not to go chasing after dragons.

Hiruko was talking to a possible "client" when his watch went off. Dragon hunting? Hmm... He'd never had a dragon's nightmare before. Could they even have those? Well, only one way to find out. He smiled to the person talking to him, giving one of his creepy, shouldn't really be there smiles, and said, "Let's make this quick."

Meiko heard her watch ping and looked at it before gasping lightly in excitement. "Dragons, Souji! Dragons! They have dragons here! That's so cool! Luka loves dragons! Oh, she'll flip her lid if she finds out that we caught baby dragons while she was gone! Can we go? Can we?"

Neru was the first to see her message between Haku and herself. She read it out loud for Haku to hear before she made a sour face. "Dragons? Blech. I hate dragons. I don't even like dealing with Luka when she's in her "baby dragon" form. I'm not going."
Haku stopped sweeping and slowly looked up to Neru. "Dragons...... I won't go either..... I don't think I have any skills that would help them unless they gave me a tranquilizer gun....." With that, Haku went back to sweeping the theature.

"Soldier, don't shuff zhings in my face like a child," Medic chided, leaning back so the American's fist wasn't so close to his head. "I haff vone of my own, you know." Bringing it up, the German looked it over, and tapped at it a bit, trying to figure it out. After some fiddling, he managed to get it to open. "...Dragon hunting?" There were dragons in this world!? A wide grin slowly split across the doctor's face. He couldn't hardly imagine what dragon body parts might capable of. Maybe he could put the wings on the Scout! The claws on the Demoman! Bits and pieces of whatever made it breathe fire for Pyro (if not to add to the man himself, maybe he could just work out some sort of new weapon). Possibly bring home a tooth for Sniper... Oh, how much more powerful would Heavy might be with a dragon's heart beating inside his chest!? Medic realized he had been laughing, and quieted to a chuckle. "Ve should definitely participate."

((I don't actually remember if Medic has a watch or not, and I'm way too tired to try going back to look. So he does now.))
