Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ill and fuming Tolly watched each of them with a sour face.

"That's it. I don't care. You want a ship... fine. I'll build you a ship. You want it ready for war I can do that to. I'll even let your UF soldier friends enjoy it as well."

He crossed his arms. "We'll start work on it tommorrow. I expect the construction to take at least a month. Once we're done you can come back and pick it up."

"Laaa deee daaa dee DAAAA.....Oh my f*cking god will everyone CALM DOWN!!"

Kayako couldn't stand it anymore. This was just getting stupid. She wasn't about to stand by while that man made yet another person feel so unwelecome. Sure, it was caution. But did he have to do it RIGHT in her FACE?? That was just rude. Asuka had barely said two words since his last little outburst. No! Not now, not ever was this happening again!

"Tolly..." she tapped his shoulder holding back the impluse to hit him. Through gritted teeth, she started in on the man.

"Perhalps you could take that conversation to another room...? I think we all need some time away from each other. I don't know how you normally do things, but there's no need for another outburst. In my team, we give caution, only masked with civility and patience. I expect a man of your....callibur understands this...?"

She held back most of the storm, but that didn't mean she wasn't thinking it. Good god, the RUDENESS! Could not he keep it to himself as they did? Did he happen to openly voice it? When she distrusted someone, she meerly watched them. She didn't glare at them like they were death...

((Oh, I hope he pisses off Rain. razz ))

Rain backed up a bit from them all. Why were they all being so hostile? Why was a man shooting off at some poor girl? It just didn't make any sense to her. She held her hands at her collarbone, feeling a little nervous now. She thought she left people with that kind of attitude back at the Foundation. She didn't know there were hostile people outside at all. Oh, the joys of being sheltered.

Rain looked back and forth between the two parties. She wanted to follow after Kayako to see if she was ok, but something gave her the feeling she'd just get barked at.

So instead she just stood where she stopped. She looked down at the ground around her feet, not really knowing what to do now.

"Useful he says....How about certain people learn some manners before dealing with a team of rebels with guns pointed at you..?" she muttered to herself.

Fine then. She didn't need his pathetic idiocy in her way. All that did was keep her from thinking clearly. If he tried anything funny, she would kill him. SIMPLE.

"Everyone, get back to your LFOs. We're going to the forest again I guess. Too bad...you seemed like such a respectable man Tolly. Too bad indeed.....watch that shovel, you may find yourself in a hole too deep to crawl out of."

And with that, she got into Senturi's cockpit and closed the hatch. Before waiting for anyone, the mech immediatly turned and flew off into the sky. It was only then that the commlink opened.

"Hurry up guys. I'd like to clear the airspace and also all your minds from such idiotic words."

Kayako was feeling that authority complex again, spiced dangerously with some raw nerve and discontent over lack of good company.

Sugita looked up at Nic and shook his head while smiling
"Guess it's no use hiding this from you any longer."
Pointing to the wall behind Nic
"Open up that wall there..." he said getting off his chair and walking twoards the stairs. Turing around Nic stares at the wall. Peeling back the torn wallpaper, and smacking the wall a few times with the butt of her gun the wall gives. Pulling away the broken boards she reaches into the wall to get her surprise. When she opened her eyes she saw an old wooden music box, letting her hands trail over the box untill they found the latch. Slowly Nic opened the box
"I...I know this song..." Nic said amazed falling to her knees eye's wide open.
"You know your mother used to play that everynight for you when you would go to bed." Sugita said while walking twoards Nic holding an envelope. Handing it to Nic he motioned for her to follow him. Nic closed the box while pockting the envelope, and followed him out into the cold night, and the two got into an old truck and started up an uneven road. After about 20 minutes Sugita stopped the truck and reached for a flashlight.
"Now you're sure you want to do this?" Sugita asked slowly looking at Nic. Nodding Sugita walked to a gate and turned the flashlight on shaking the gate he cursed while trying to find something to open it. /then with one swift kick Nic opened the gate picking up the box and waited for Sugita to lead the way.
"You remind me of your father with that..." he said smiling and started to make his way through over grown grass and weeds. After a few minutes of Sugita cursing somemore at the grass, his flashlight came upon several headstones. Nic stopped dead in her tracks, slowly letting her eyes fall upon each one. Then walking foward and kneeling down inbetween two headstones. Sugita had left the flashlight at her side and left someplace, picking it up she reached for the envelope, and placed the box down next to one of the head stones. Inside was a letter for her

Dear Nicole,
I wish I could be there to tell you this in person but I cannot. So instead I trust this letter will give you the same message. That night when the hitman from the Molora Gang came to kill us. He didn't know that the gang wanted us killed so they could have you. He couldn't stand the fact that they would do horrible things to you and keep you as a pet. Dig up our graves and keep good care of what you find. For many wish to have it. We love you so much Dear.
Love
Mom and Dad
Nic lost all train of thought and let random idea's run wild in her head. Taking a deep breath and tucking the letter into the box
"There's no turing back now..." she told herself. The same words she said when she left this wretched place years ago, that were now bringing her back in. Letting her hands pull back dirt untill she hit something, then pulling it out and starting on the next item. Running back to the truck covered in dirt
"Hey can you give me a ride to the edge of town..." Nic said between breaths of air. Sugita gave her an odd look and started the truck.
"And maybe a compass too..."
"You leaving already?" he laughed "glovebox should be to the right."
Hitting the gas the truck roared across the road. Shoving everything into her pack, and waving a final goodbye Nic turned and started to run. But this time wasn't like all of the other time's, this time she had a place to go, and hopefully someone she could count on.

((Hell I ani't even wanted..yet))
Kanashisa bolted for Glory with more haste then her little body would suggest... Crawling up she was gone in seconds. In truth Tolly has just scared the tar out of her and she was more then happy to have been told to leave.
