Welcome to Gaia! ::

Saito looked at the device given to him the gps system updated itself he stared for a moment. Then taking the instructions found his room he quickly set up his thing to make it seem like home. "do you have any assignments grey"he asked the AI. He thought he was ready for anything. In all reality if he were to fight some of the people in a pokemon battle chances are he would lose and lose fast.

Reno would stir from his sleep before looking at the new arrival, wondering why he seemed so familiar. Picking up one of the remotes from the table Barnaby, Reno hurled it through the air towards Saito in an effort to get his attention. "Oi! So what the hell are you doin' here? You seem to be takin' this gig way too seriously." Reno grunted, his accent slowly shifting into a more natural sounding accent rather than his usual style of dropping H's and using yer. Was it a subtle bit of subterfuge....or the fact a show he had been watching recently helped to show him an actual accent of this type was supposed to sound like.

"Hey, what happened?" Sub said to himself as he sat in the lab, noticing an alert on the main screen notifying Sub that GRAY has lost contact with the SNAGs. "I don't know, if I did I would fix the problem! Genius..." GRAY scoffed. "Whatever...the others should still be in Pyrite Town. I can't leave without fixing your server first, if something is wrong here. Is anyone here?" He asked GRAY. "I'll check...lazy." GRAY mumbled and then began to speak through the main intercom. "You bunch of Snorlaxs! Who is here and not dead? Report to the lab."

Hearing an extremely girlish shriek from his left, Reno's curiosity peaked due to the fact it could only be one of two people and one wasn't likely to be under puppy attack. Leaning to the side and draping an arm over Kairi's shoulders, he fluffed her hair with his right hand and looked to her Houndour puppy. At least until his own puppy decided to tackle him and make him land on top of Kairi. "Uummm....I believe that this was an accident. Either that or this puppy is tryin' ta get us closer. Not that we could get any closer." Reno joked, his arm still wrapped around Kairi and a small chuckle escaping his lips at his strange little joke and his extremely odd sense of humor.

Odd was in the kitchen with Kaya, who appeared to be attempting to teach the carnivore how to cook meat properly.

In the meantime, Lykas was avoiding the smell of cooking flesh by training downstairs. He was finally starting to get the hang of his chi control, though only just barely.

"See how it turns kind of pinkish in the middle when it starts getting cooked in the middle?" Kaya asked Odd as he pointed out the pinkish hue along the edges of the steak he was cooking. "It'll turn a paler and paler pink until it just turns brown, the longer it cooks. Try not to let it get too dark of a brown but make sure it's not solid red." He continued.

"Ok....." Odd wasn't sure what to make of that explanation. "Don't different people like it different, though?"

"They do, but for now, work on getting better at cooking it well done before you worry about the harder to pin down cooking levels for it." Kaya replied. "Rare is the hardest, in my opinion...."

"Is it? I always heard it was practically still walking at that point." Odd joked, taking notice of a familiar face not far off as he did. "Hi Keiko. Want some steak?" He asked of the girl with a small wave.

Lykas took note of Chaos' presence fairly quickly, turning his focus away from the Water Spout he was about to release and causing the water sphere hovering before him to spill onto the floor. "Hi, Chaos!" He greeted cheerfully, offering a small wave. "Not much, really. Still training all day most days." He admitted with a sigh.

"I've been well." Odd responded with a small shrug, taking over the cooking to try his hand at preparing decent food. "I think the better question would be, where have you been and how are you doing? Well...questions, rather."

Kaya snickered slightly at Odd's slight grammatical slip-up. "Welcome to Darkrai's Kitchen, where I whip this Slugma of a chef into a real cooking machine." He joked, at Odd's expense. This was halted for a brief moment when Odd's arm shot straight through his chest, phasing out sideways as the channeler swung a knife around the male's side to properly dissect the steak he was preparing.

"You were saying?" He asked, politely. It was clear his control over his intangibility was becoming more masterful with time. Kaya could only squeak in surprise at this.

Lykas shrugged to Chaos' question. "Pretty much. It's getting easier, thankfully. But My Pokemon aren't making it that much easier." He had to admit this much, giving a quick glance around to make sure that Chinami wasn't in sight just yet. If she heard him talk like that, she'd kick his teeth in.

Chaos might notice Sphynx in the corner. She was thin and looked pretty weak but otherwise, she seemed to be fine. She was sleeping at the moment, which she seemed to Lykas to be doing a lot more of than she used to.
