Mitsu found himself in a cliff, and in front of him is a scenery of the place. he sat down on the edge and felt the wind blowing gently against him. "...something's.. missing..." he thought to himself as he watched the view.

Seth walked through Laista confused and amazed at the same time. There were so many people. He wanted to ask if anyone knew any wind elementals but was to afraid to answer. He then saw a young woman with strawberry blonde hair talking to the plants. Are you an elemental? He asked

((I'M SO SORRY!!! gonk Posting only once a day probably frustrates many who don't want t ruin the plot.))
"Nice..." the stranger sweatdropped and smiled with predication, silently taken aback from this Ki's rapid talking. "So you're going to be one big family. How nice! I hope I could be in the wedding." He was about to roll his eyes with sarcasm when he noticed the strange kid go even stranger R.O.F.L. and ultimately rolled his eyes out of humor instead.
"Anyway," he glanced lightly over to Aoi. "Thank you very much for taking me to your home. I was dying out there. There's just... one more favor I'd like to ask."
The stranger scratched his head with the uncertainty to ask, "I just came here, and... I don't qute have enough money pay for those fancy hotels over town square. Seeing how kindly you guys acted on a homeless traveler such as I, I am greatly hopeful that your kindness is so great as to allow me to take shelter, er, refuge in your home."

When she heard the question, Alexandra turned. She then saw a young man there, on the outskirts of her garden. He was a striking young man, with his silver hair sparkling in the moonlight.
Smiling, she walked back over to him and held out her hand in greeting.
"Yes I am an Elementalist. Alexandra is my name, and I am a Plant Elementalist, A Seer. And you are?"

Marra sat in her gardens, a book balanced on one knee and she took down furious notes on the specimen before her on her workbench. Her unease about not knowing how it was acquired was replaced by her immense curiosity. This plant, this simple thing, was a victim of one of the rogue Elemental 'power surges'. She had no idea how it managed to find its way to her small garden, or more specifically ,who wanted her to have it. Perhaps one of the precious few humans who still remained here in Laista? Surely not an Elemental. All she knew for certain was that she had until the meetings ended it examine it freely before the Elementals all started roaming the streets in full force again.
"Power surges, hah!" Marra muttered softly around the quill between her teeth, leaning forward to gently turn the leaves this way and that, trying to avoid the large thorns nature never designed. "This should never have happened. We would never have made something like this." There was no malice in her voice, just a sadness of sorts. She almost felt a sympathy for the small plant, as if she was tending a small child who was injured accidentally in a war. She wanted to make it better, but she just couldn't. "Tch!" Marra hissed and quickly popped her offended finger into her mouth on impulse, tasting the drop of blood that one of the unnaturally cruel thorns had coaxed from her.
Sitting back on her bench, she flipped the book closed with the back of her quill and stood up, stretching out her back and allowing muscles that had been cramped for hours some new freedom. Glancing skyward, she made a rough estimate of the time. It was late, and the Elementals would be done their meeting by now. Carefully, Marra covered the plant and secreted it away to her greenhouse, where it could remain safely out of sight. After all, who would come looking in a humans greenhouse for things she couldn't possibly begin to understand?
Marra pressed her face to the glass of the greenhouse, feeling the humidity against her forehead as she watched the bustle of the nearby streets through the foggy pane.
So many. There are so many of them. How much longer is this going to go on?
Straightening up, she wiped the glass quickly with a nearby rag before exiting the greenhouse, locking it tightly behind her. In practiced motions, she made the rounds around her garden, picking up stray tools here and there before locking both her tool house and the gate to the entire garden. Slipping the keys securely into her bag, she turned to face the now busy streets. The plant in the green house seemed to call to her as she stood there, her back against the gate, begging her to come examine it, find out why it was the way it was. She shook off the desire. If she didn't head home now, she'd be here all night, and all that would do is make her tired and less alert the next day. She couldn't afford that, not here.

Aoi looked on, chuckling at the boy. It was all fin and dandy until Ki mentioned the babies, at which point Aoi was blushing furiously and shaking his head. "What are you talking about, Ki? I barely met her!" he said, embarrased.
Mrs. Umizu laughed, amused. "Is there some secret relationship that I don't know about?" she asked the boy as he rolled on the floor. "Oh you have to tell me about it!" she said, teasing Aoi more.
"Mom!" Aoi protested, his blushing now obvious despite his dark skin. "You should know better!"
Ellryna only laughed, playfully slapping her son's back. She then turned to face the newcomer. "Well, I am Ellryna Umizu and this is my son, Aoi. No, I'm not his sister." she giggled a little.
Ellryna was waiting for the stranger's introduction when suddenly, a cheerful male voice dropped into the conversation.
"Wow. One day out late at work and I find out there's a party in my house!"
Aoi looked at the owner of the familiar voice, and saw his younger brother Zipan. He stood 6 foot tall with fair skin and long, black hair that was tied neatly behind him in a ponytail. His eyes were green, just like Ellryna's, and he wore glasses. On his left ear is a small, silver loop earring. He is slim, but visibly well-built, despite the fact that he looked scholarly. He was wearing a simple white shirt and black pants with the green tabard that was embroidered with gold leaves on the side, which was the uniform of the city's librarians, slung over his shoulder.
"Zipan!" Aoi greeted merrily, walking over to him and giving him a fierce hug, which was replied back with less fierceness.
"Watch it! Your muscles are still bigger than mine." he jested, smiling.
The tanned elemental smiled back, letting his little brother go. "Everyone, this is my younger brother, Zipan."
Zipan bowed to all of them with the utmost formality. "Pleased to meet your aquaintances." he said, before walking to Ellryna and giving her the customary kiss on the cheek. "Hello, mom, looks like you've been busy."
Ellryna laughed. "You tell me."
"Kanta should be here any minute now..." Zipan said, looking out the hall from which he came from, and just on cue, the sound of the door opening was heard.
"Blazing bombshells!" the voice shouted. "If it isn't big bro Aoi."
With that, a young man who almost looked like Aoi stepped in. He stood 6'1" in height with blue eyes and short, spiked up black hair. His left eye had a scar running diagonally from it, and his iris looked like a duller blue color compared to his other eye. His skin was tanned, just like Aoi's. He was slim, but more muscular than Zipan. He was wearing the customary unifrom of the City Watch, which was black shirt, pants and boots, with a white tabard imprinted with the city's insignia, and leather bracers and shin guards. On his belt hung a sword in a carved, metal scabbard.
"Heh. Nice to see you too, Kanta." Aoi said, hugging the boy. "And here is my youngest brother, Kanta."
Kanta looked at the newcomers, just noticing them. "Damn! That's a lot of people!" he said, laughing. "Glad to meet you all." he told everyone, giving them all an informal salute. "I guess this is one big puhjamma party?" he said, purposely making the word 'pajama' sound childish.
Aoi gently slapped the back of his brother's head. "Mind you manners. Man, you haven't changed."
"I can say the same to you, Aoi." Zipan said, chuckling.
"Zipan, Kanta, these people are Shania, Ki, and Inanise." he said, presenting each person as their name came up. "They might be staying in for tonight."
Kanta shrugged. "Well, the guest house is clean and open."
Aoi nodded, then turned to face the stranger. "You're the only one left. Now that everyone's here, I suppose it is your turn. Please introduce yourself and then I'll think about your situation."
"Situation?" Zipan asked, shifting his glasses.
"He's also seeking shelter for tonight, dear, he's run out of luck on money." Ellryna explained, placing a hand on her middle child's arm.
Kanta frowned, openly expressing his distaste. "Well, stranger, you best behave yourself cause I won't hesitate to cut your head off the moment I find a good reason too. Elemental or not."
Aoi gave Kanta a sharp glance, and Kanta only looked away. "Don't mind him, he's just like that. But please enlighten us."
Inanise had been pretty much still the whole time, nodding when her name was mentioned. Aoi had such a big family. But enough about that. Now, the spotlight was on the stranger. She looked at him in the corner of her eyes, not turning to face him. Silently, she awaited his answer. [[ Sorry for such a long post. The brothers had to come sometime ^^;;; So I suppose Patchwork is next, followed by Nobody then K.S. gonk really sorry if this might make it hard to insert yourselves in. Just act accordingly I suppose ^^;;;;; Sorry again ]]

Calib crossed his arms over his chest. "We're lost, aren't we?" He said, stated the question. "No, I just don't know where we are..." Alyssa said, looking at one street and the next, and perturbed look on her face. Calib rolled his eyes. "Then why don't we ask some one for directions?" Alyssa lightly smacked her forehead against a nearby wall. "Good idea. Why didn't I think of that?"
The two searched for some one that was likely to give directions. "Why don't we ask her?" Alyssa said, indicating with a nod of her head in a stranger's direction. Calib shrugged, taking a quick glance. The stranger looked like she had been working with the earth, and looked like she had something to think about. "Excuse me, we're lost. Could you help us?" Alyssa asked in a polite voice.

Alexandra was waiting for the young man to respond when 2 young people, approached her and asked for help.
Alex smiled broadly. "I sure can help you. Where are you trying to go?"
As she waited for the reply, she took a moment to study them. She guessed them to siblings, by the similar faces. She sensed power from the female, so she must be a Neophyte because of her young age. But what she couldn't sense was the element.

"Oh, ah..." Alyssa was at lost, not exactly knowing where their home was. "We're trying to go to the town square." Calib said, semi-glaring at his sister. "Some one gave us a wrong turn."
"That's if we aren't already there." Alyssa muttered under her breath.

"Yes I am an Elementalist. Alexandra is my name, and I am a Plant Elementalist, A Seer. And you are?"  The moment she asked that he phased back to his childhood remembering his parents lifting and moving things around. Then all of a sudden the doors in his house opened someone had broken into their house he heard winds blowing and Then everything went dark. He woke up from this flashback and noticed she was talking to to other woman he waited patiently to answer her previous question

Alex looked at the two siblings, then grinned widely.
"You're a bit aways from the town square." she replied. "You see, you're on the very outskirts of the city. If you go down this road," she said, pointing the same direction they had been heading,"for another 30-40 minutes or so, you should reach the Square."
Alex then frowned. "Do your parents know you two are out this late?"
She then turned to the young man who was patiently waiting on her and smiled again. "Are you alright?" she asked.

"Yes I am a plant elementalist." Alex told him. "And controling and speaking with plants is a small part of what I do. I also use them to make healing potions for those in the city. I'm a Herboligst and Healer."
Alex then sighed. This was taking a bit longer than she expected. She was tired, and wanting to hit her bed. She had to be up in 6 hours, at her workplace in 7. But she would not leave him stranded.
"We do have an Air Guru in town that can teach you." she replied. "Want me to give you directions to her place so you can see her tonight, or would you rather stay the night here and I take you to her personally tomorrow morning?"
