Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Please post, people... crying ))

(I'm not that lazy! I'm taking calculus and poetry with my chemistry! It may just be 3 classes, but dangit, they decide my future!

And echoes has zombies, I hear... I hate zombies...)

"I am always prepared..." Hashmal replied.

"Thiss iss unexpected!" the Nesk exclaimed. It scrabbled up, "Die creature!" It stabbed again.

Farfarello jumped as the umbrellas shot out of the roof, nearly impaling him. He was about to snarl at Raedou about it, when they came upon the prison. He smiled, a wicked, cruel-looking thing. "We're here," he said. It's almost time. His body tingled and many of his teeth showed through his grin.

((Crocodiles come to mind))

Farfarello's grin faded a bit when he saw Myrrelda, but had accepted the tragedy at an interestingly quick rate. His "spirits" were high, as the prince- princess, he corrected himself, (not that it made a difference to the demon), was near.

((Not exactly zombies... They are dead Federation troopers that were brought to life by the Ing, so... erm, yes. They are, in fact, zombies. They remain in the first level, though, so you never have to fight them anywhere else... except for a single area, as I recall, at a single point of the game. Oh, and you have to kill a tough, scary one to get a missile expansion.

I often like to go down to the level and hunt them in my free time, because watching them fly after you blast them with a charge beam is quite enjoyable. They make gurgling noises, too. It's also fun to get up close to them and see what their faces look like... Don't do that unless you have a few extra Energy Tanks, though. Okay, I'm done.))

Raedou smiled. He knew that he had promised to stop picking on Farfarello, but sometimes he just couldn't resist. He turned his head back and, seeing the demon girl in the distance, grunted in displeasure, sure that much, much more of the constant wooing attempts and disgusting demonic groping would come to pass... right in the old Ganzi's face. He shuddered at the thought and kept on moving. A minute later, he turned his head up towards the demon.

"Listen here, Farfarello..." said Raedou, "You had better have your admirer cool off this time, or else I'll have to exploit the fact that you are now a vulnerable, trembling mass of flesh. Do you understand?"

Lolindor pushed through the doors of the ball room where the party was. He was crashing his cousins bash. "Rhaden!" The already drunken Elf yelled as he tumbled through the doors. "I heard yous were having a par tee." He went on stumbling over him self as he walked.


"Father! Stop your making a fool of your self." Saphrin said as he rushed in after his intoxicated father.

Raedou sighed and kept on going. Soon enough, the caravan was 'parked' behind a rock very close to the prison. Raedou hopped out and motioned for the others to follow him.

"Conceal your weapons." he said quietly, "We do not want to blow our cover."

He then turned around and began to walk towards the prison... until the ground below him crumbled to sand, sending the Ganzi careening into a pitch-black hole.

Queen Navilie strolled down the stairs, glimmering with radiant beauty. She wore a very... revealing dress, and at her side was the head of the Ylos Royal Knights; Leif was his name. He saw the elven drunkard and glanced at the queen, a concerned look on his face.

"Your Highness," he murmured, "with all due respect, your husband's cousin..."

The queen chuckled. She had a shockingly high-pitched voice, but it was smooth and prominent.

"I know, Leif, my dear..." she said, "You don't have to tell me twice! Now please, be a good boy and fetch my lover for me, will you?"

"As you wish, m'lady."

And without another word, the knight turned and quickly sprinted up the stairs while Navilie reached the main hall to greet her beloved relatives.

"Lolindor! Rofldor! How good it is to see you again!" she said as she held out one delicate hand to each of the elven men.
