Welcome to Gaia! ::

Troy stepped forward, looked into Nicole's bright eyes and said to her, "Well then we might as well stop this charade and instead we embrace our feelings." He then closed his eyes and lips and leaned towards her to give her the kiss.

(( Oh yeah? Well I'm on page 21! razz lol))

Troy felt their lips touch and he put his hands on her back and continued to kiss her passionately.

((I knows, I was too. Lol!))

Nicole was unsure of what to do, awkwardly stepping closer. Her foot slipped to the side though, and sent both her and Troy tumbling down into a snowbank below, into the military base. "Ah, c-cold!" She got out, breaking contact from Troy when they had landed.

Stryker kept a close eye on the movements of the guards. Many of them were vigilant, though some were staring idly at the sky. He was glad the freezing weather had no effect on him, such as frostbite. He settled down into a more comfortable sitting position, hiding more fully to avoid attention, turning his iPod back on to dull the quiet around him.

(( -.-; this is what happens when I try to take a break... Thanks guys.))

Aivi waved at her father's retreating back as he went to their living area before sighing a bit in relief. She loved her parents at times, but others, she just wanted to be left to herself. Turning on her heels, she dashed towards a crudely, yet sturdily built watch tower. This was her watch tower, which she's nicknamed Aivi's Lookout. It reached just as high as the wall surrounding the Promised Land, but remained far enough from the wall so people won't get suspicious about her jumping the wall. Once at the very top, she pulled out the telescope she kept up there and began to look around.

After filling her stomach with much needed blood, Ellie was on her way back up to their 'home', as she called it (not entirely sure if the living quarters are actually houses). Upon entering the threshold, she could smell the burning wick and melting wax of the candles Tyler lit. And she could tell from the sharp spicy scent that it was cinnamon. Chuckling a bot at this, she walked into the bedroom, a slight more sway in her hips. "You know my favorites." She commented, leaning against the doorway. Cinnamon was her favorite scent, both the artificial and the organic.

((You're welcome. Consider it healthy payback! Lol, jk. 'Sides, it was just me and Blue mainly. Sorry.))

"H-hey. You don't have to do that," Nicole said, but didn't take the warm jacket off. "I put on a nice heavy one for g-guard duty." The guard she'd relieved before noticed the post being left and headed off to fill it, chuckling as he went. "S-sorry." She shivered out from her chattering teeth."No prob." He replied.

Russ stopped his relentless attack on the poor stuffed dummy, standing still in place and sweating lightly. Some of the seams were bursting foam from his enhanced attacks. He wiped a hand around his brow briefly, picking up a training staff for mid-quarter fighting. My katana would just tear up the dummy if I went at it like that. He laughed energetically to himself, testing the staff's balance.

Stryker soon suppressed a silent yawn with a clawed hand, already bored. The music had done next to nothing to keep him focused. He stretched his legs out a tiny bit, but not so much so that they poked suspiciously from under the tree. He turned his thoughts to the survivors, a good distance away from where he was. They'd cleared the area in front of the walls of the trees that used to be there, for sight purposes, he guessed.

Shivering to the bone, Troy shook off all the snow as he entered the lounge area with Nicole. He then sat down on the couch with her and said "Well even though that snow was freezing I am glad it was there to soften the fall. By the way, are you okay from the fall?"
