Welcome to Gaia! ::

{James : Train : Dining Car}

James turned his attention to Jenny as she asked them if they wanted anything to drink. After that fight he was definitely thirsty again.

"Sure Jenny, I'll take a glass of coke."

He said with a smile, he knew that in normal circumstances if they were outside that Coke would do the exact opposite of hydrate. But when he was inside and just relaxing he didn't really care. He then changed his attention to Jack and Kyle as the Pirate Captain asked his question and Kyle answered it and his attention turned to both James and Jenny as he asked them if Joe had mentioned anything about it. However, before the corsair could say that Joe had given him the list Jack already walked off again to go find Joe.

"The Captain's impatient as always, didn't even wait for me to say that I have the list now."

He said as he pulled the rolled up list out of his coat pocket and unrolled the parchment to find that it was still blank.

"No names have appeared yet though. Whoa!"

James had at least been able to finish his first sentence before his exclamation escaped from his mouth as the bolt of lightning came down, striking right outside of the Lounge Car. He had involuntarily jumped somewhat but when lightning was that close that also seemed to be reflex. There wasn't even a second before the huge thunder clap that he could feel inside the train. He waited to see if there was a repeat strike or a storm coming but after that it was all still.

"That was too close and sudden to be coincidence..."

[Jenny :: Dining Car]

"Right!" Jenny replied enthusiastically as she raced for the refrigerator, she opened the door and reached for a bottle of water, a bottle of coke and a bottle of ginger ale. Right as she closed the door to the fridge, the entire car lit up brilliantly with the strike of lightning. A glass bottle crashed against the floor right as the sound of thunder passed through. Jenny felt her nerves shake as she stared at the mess of coke and glass littering the floor and sighed.

"I'll clean it up!" She shouted first and foremost, cracking the door open just enough to grab another coke before racing to the table and placing the drinks down. She then ran past Silver and grabbed a towel for the mess, kneeling to pick up the shards of coke bottle first. Calm... down... you big... baby. The train is safe, I dunno why you're freaking out... impulse reaction but still... Jenny muttered to herself as if trying to reason with her own brain.

[ Kyle : Dining Car (w/Silver and Zell) ]

"Nothing ye-?" Kyle began to ask, only to suddenly tense up (not quite 'jump', but enough of a change that it was noticeable) at the crack of thunder. Immediately, he glanced out the window, only to see... pitch black. But was that because there were no stars, or because there were clouds- ah, no, there was the moon.

"Hrm," Kyle muttered, sounding almost disappointed before glancing over to Jenny. Without hesitation, he got up and rushed over to help her clean up. "No no, I got this, go sit down- pizza smells about ready."

"Olready?" Silver muttered, opening the oven- and lo, the three pizzas were perfectly cooked. Hand-tossed (aka 'thick') crust, not too crispy, not too soft, and ready.

"Oiy, Zell, round up the youngins!" Silver said toward the still-pissy conductor of the train, who merely shrugged and pressed a button on the nearby wall monitor. Suddenly, his voice filled the entire train.

"Alright kiddies, pizza's ready, first come, first serve!"

The pizzas were lined up along the counter. There was the plain pizza, the 'Meat Lovers' pizza, and a 'Supreme' pizza, with damn near everything on it, vegetables included. Silver placed a bunch of paper plates on the counter, along with napkins.

[ Kefka : ??? : Dark Tower ]

"Well, when you're as gorgeous as me, you don't need it~" he responded in his normal, high pitched voice, cackling gleefully before bouncing backward, doing flips with ease before standing on his hands, glancing at the woman.

"Now, you have the fae girl's powers, yes?" he asked, his one suddenly deeper, more sinister. "All of them?"

[Jenny :: Dining Car]

"It's quite alright Kyle!" The mage fretted as she sat back on her ankles, looking at the knight. She wasn't going to sit down and eat while he cleaned up, it was her fault anyways she dropped the bottle anyways. She was usually a fan of thunderstorms especially if she wasn't alone, but the fact that one struck so close to where they were, it bothered her nerves. Jenny picked up the remaining pieces of the glass and gently tossed them in the trash bin, careful not to give herself some microscopic cut of some sort.

The flutist then soaked up the soda with a dry towel, it was done twice as fast with Kyle helping her out. A quick wipe with a wet towel to avoid any sticky shoes later on... and they'd be done. Jenny sighed, reaching her hand out as if asking for the towels so she could toss them in the sink. "I forgot that pizza smells so good."

[Dawn : Engine Car]

Dawn had closed her eyes and covered her ears. She was expecting more thunder or lightning but no more came. Though she grew up in a state where severe thunderstorm warnings were practically every day, mainly the late spring and early summer months. She should be used to this. But she was the exact opposite. She hated thunder and lightning. It freaked her out whenever the lightning would strike.

Her body started to relax slightly when she felt the comforting touch of Joe's hand on her back. Though Dawn was still not focused enough to considerate on the conversation between him and Jack.

Dawn swallowed loudly as she tried to get herself together.

"Can-can we... go..?" she stuttered in a very soft voice.

[Alan :: LoD :: Tea Shop]

It was a little while before Alan's ill temper abated, but abate it did - at least somewhat. Unfortunately, his encounter with other humans had been less elucidating than he had hoped, and he was still left with many, many questions - maybe even more than before. He was sure, though, that Earth had been more than just another world in the endless cosmos.

Nonetheless, Alan decided to push his bitterness aside and continue to be as polite as possible to these people. For now, he would follow them. He looked up at Jon's query from staring into the depths of his empty tea cup. "I can leave whenever," he said. "Don't let me hold you up."

He'd have to talk to Jon later, once there was no risk of braking Riku's mind or whatever. Of course, that might be difficult considering the amount of world natives the earthlings were traveling with. He wondered what their transport was like, and if it was possible to get someone alone and un-eavesdropped-upon on it.

[ Kefka : ??? : Dark Tower ]

"Definitely~" Kefka responded with a low chuckle, disappearing before reappearing in the same spot, only on his feet instead of his hands; his fingers were sinisterly tapping one against one another in front of him. "Which did you have in mind? Shall we mess with the bratlings? Turn friends into foes? Amass an army? Come on, I'm giddy, let's just destroy something!"
