Welcome to Gaia! ::

The beeper flashed once again. Battery's running out, last text untill i'm done. La Tortura is alot bloodier than it was before, and alot more Tortura has now been done. As far as I know, these damn tunnels go on forev

Then the message cut out, evidently from battery death.

Lydia held the locket for a moment, tracing it with a hesitant finger as she tried to grasp the meaning of the gift. It had been blessed, Kerri said...though the psychic had no need for religion, she knew the power of blessed items. Tainted were easily sundered by anything holy. Well, Tainted that were not elders could be easily sundered by anything holy.

Slowly, Lydia put the locket on and admired how it looked on her for a moment. She then met Kerrigan's gaze with a smile. "Thank you, Kerrigan. I must truly be lucky, because I have you and everyone else here for friends and family." It was then that Edith made her quick goodbye, apparently agitated by something. "Good bye, Edith. I hope to see you soon, and I hope you do not get injured."

Skiaska had unwanted tears in her eyes. For some reason, her entire stay at Haven just... hit her. Love, guilt, pain, death, hope, laughing, crying, bleeding, dying, smiling, hugging, kisses, fighting, training, drinking, dancing, excitement, killing...

She choked on the lump in her throat and unintentionally reached for a hidden flask at her side. Ski blinked rapidly, a forced smile on her face. The smell of burned flesh stayed within her nostrils, reminding her of her mother. With a silenced sob, she squeezed Terra's hand, got up, hugged Lydia, and smiled waterily at Will. "Congrats..." With that said, Ski made her way to her room.

Will frowned as he watched Edith and Skiaska leave. Two young, powerful young women, one his sister and another very much like a sister to him. And both were hurting. Worse, there seemed to be nothing he could do. At least Ski had Terra, and Eden had many friends here. He just hoped that if they needed it, they would come to him.

Smiling at Krii'Ouses invitation, Will nodded. "A couple of rounds sure would hit the spot, Sethe. Many congratulations and much drinking is in order. Though not too much, I'll be needing to talk with Father Michaels, set something up."

It was then that Will realized nobody had yet bothered to answer Lydia's earlier question. Turning back to her, he explained one of the concepts of a wedding. "Okay, in a wedding, the ceremony in which you officially become married, you have the bride, the woman getting married, and the groom, the man getting married. Each of them has a group of friends of the same gender, for the bride bridesmaids and for the groom groomsmen, who stand beside them during the ceremony in a show of support. The maid of honor is usually the bride's closest friend, and is sort of the leader of the bridesmaid's and has several responsibilities to make sure the wedding proceeds well. The same goes for the groom and his best man. Your wedding is one of the most important parts of your life, and as such the position of best man or maid of honor is reserved for the person of your sex closest to you, sort of a way of saying that even though you're leaving part of your old life behind and starting a new one that your friends will still be with you I suppose."

Of course the concept was already confusing enough without getting into the history of the wedding party, so no need for him to explain how the bridesmaids and groomsmen were historically meant to act as guards and decoys to protect the bride and groom from their enemies during the wedding, or how the old tradition was for the best man to stand in the groom's place and marry the bride if the groom didn't show. Although considering that he was the leader of the Hunters and pratically every supernatural creature in this city wanted his head mounted on a pike, the guard and decoy aspect of the wedding party probably would be relevant to their situation.

Krii'Ouse accepted the kiss willingly. He smiled, and hugged Kerrigan closer, kissing her on the neck. Krii'Ouse then leaned over to Will, nudging his side. 'Do I get to be the best man?' he asked, chuckling to his brother. He turned back to Kerrigan, and smiled, kissing her on the lips. 'Meow.' He quirked an eyebrow, and shook his head. 'Wait, I'm a wolf...'

Will just smiled. Of course they can both be your maid of honor, Lydia. You'd probably better ask them in person. And Sethe, of course you're the best man, who else would I have for the job? Now, Lydia, where'd you like to go? Your room? Hunter's? Or someplace else?"

Reno looked at Eden as he saw her leave.Just by how quickly she was moving he could tell somthing was up."Damnit."He muttered as he ran out after her.He saw she was leaveing H.Q. but where ever she was going he was gonna follow.
((Exit to City))

Krii'Ouse frowned. 'Stupid Will. Hmmph.' he said, crossing his legs, beginning to float, and crossing his arms upsetly. He kept his mind trained on Phaedra, making sure she went nowhere. Kerrigan would be back soon.
