Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eecheb: >.> | Oh? How do you know that?

*Telling Eecheb of things going on outside of his dreamscape might only make him more aware. Then again, if he didn't even remember when he woke up, did it really matter? Then again, if he later found out that the dojo had been destroyed, it might trigger a memory of the talk he and KB were having now. Of course the sand would return back to it's original shape again, almost as if to spike KB and his efforts, but then again it was doing the exact same thing to Eecheb too, so he wasn't exactly being singled out. If KB was too forceful with the block, he might get a few particles of sand in his mouth. For one reason or another Eecheb knew what sand tasted like, and so if KB was unfortunate enough to get a few bits in his mouth, he'd taste the sour taste of it aswell as the texture. Eecheb had seen a few things destroyed here and there in the citadel, most of the time oddly it had been lamp posts*

Eecheb: >.> | You've willed it to? What does that mean?

*Eecheb had little experience with willing things to happen, though he did have some. When he had forced energy into his fist so that he could punch and break the lock to the jewlery store in the west, he had willed the power to his hand. But just the phrase really, to "will" something to happen, he just wasn't used to hearing the term. After KB stopped hitting the sand block, it would reform into the same shape as before. Eecheb would continue to listen to KB speak and rant as he played with his tie. The words " everything can be destroyed" would probably stick with him though even if everything else didn't. Eecheb also still didn't seem aware that he was asleep, when KB told him to wake up. As far as Eecheb knew, he was up. How else could he be talking to KB if he wasn't? As for what KB was on, Eecheb could only wonder. He knew nothing of the world of drugs, there was no reason to know about them anyhow, at least at for now*

Eecheb: >.> | Huh? What do you mean wake up? I'm awake now.

Eecheb: >.> | Ya, I guess... But mom is sick so that's why she isn't here. Thanatos is around sometimes but not all the time and, well... you know, he is always doing something so I just do what ever I want really.

*Eecheb seemed to emphisize "he" when speaking to KB. More than likely Eecheb was talking about Mastema. The boy had only called him "dad" all of maybe three times in his lifetime and "papa" only once when Nana had taught him and Trilla the two letters and had gotten them to say them fast enough to make the work. Otherwise Eecheb didn't really refure to Mastema much, but he knew that was the name of the man. His father figure, who quite frankly wasn't doing anything all too fatherly for him. Eecheb had even said he could do what ever he liked, and generally that was the truth. He could go most anywhere, and do any number of things to amuse himself. Unless Eecheb got in trouble for doing something he'd never know it was wrong, so until such a road block was placed infront of him, he really could do what ever he wanted, as could his siblings*

*some of what KB said confused the boy, for he knew not of any tunnels in his home. Merely the streets above and the buildings, which were his playground. Though KB was right, it was an amazing amount of freedom, that he and his siblings had. An entire city was their playground and in it they could do as they pleased. Eecheb didn't really realize just how lucky he was, though he nodded a bit in thanks when KB had wished his mother well. Very few knew that it was Nana who was married to Mastema, and Eecheb didn't really seem to share any visual traites with him. That probably meant he took after his mother in appearance, maybe. In which case, one might assume that she were some kind of succubus or demon, given some of Eecheb's appearance. Eecheb would finally speak to KB a moment later*

Eecheb: >_> | Ya, thanks... but-- | What tunnels? Actually... what are tunnels? I've been outside before, to that dojo place you said isn't there anymore. I bet I can see it from here, but... I don't want to right now.

*Looking back to the block of sand it was as if he truly understood the desire to destroy something, utterly and completely. He'd be sure to destroy that block of sand one day, it just wouldn't be now. KB was right about the aggressivenes, but he might be wrong about it not being at least at times malicious. After all, Eecheb did once try to smother Micha in his sleep. It was out of jealousy and he truly wanted his brother dead. The only thing that stopped him, was apparently Micha's first potential show of power. That and a sturn talking to by Mastema afterwards. Eecheb did do a lot of damage to things around the citadel, including himself. The latter of the two was something Eecheb didn't like all that much, but being hurt was never fun. Otherwise, not only had he not been told destroying things wasn't wrong, but it had been shown to him just how fun destroying things could be. This of course being one of the earlier things he'd learned in life. Matter of fact it was nearly the children's first birthday, there were only a few more days until then. Half of their lives had been playing, some learning, and the rest sleeping and eating, with some affection thrown in here and there from both parents. Eecheb hadn't confirmed nor denied that Mastema was his father, he didn't really like to talk about him. Mostly due to an inncident when he was with Thanatos and Mastema told the boy to simply leave his brother in the streets. Since then Eecheb had distanced himself from Mastema, more so*

Eecheb: >.> | Oh.... well I've never seen any buildings under ground before. What would they be used for anyways?

*Who was this K-Blob guy anyhow, and how did he know so much about the stuff in the citadel? Eecheb had never seen him around ever, but then again he had never met everyone in the citadel. But-- if KB was a member of the citadel, and talking to him though he'd never seen him before, and-- Well it confused Eecheb greatly, he shook his head a bit to rid himself of it. Hearing that he held potential, and could be seen doing many great things made Eecheb feel a bit empowered. Such things hadn't been said to him by Mastema, though if they had been the boy would probably not distance himself quite so much. To feel useful and to have pourpose was what he needed. Still, Eecheb was starting to question who this KB really was, and that was a good thing. Suddenly the boy shrunk back a little, the thunderous roar of a monster could be heard, as if trumpeting the arrival of some other worldly thing*

Eecheb: .___. | Hmmn...

Proto: *looking up once again from.... well whatever it was he was doing, Proto became aware that someone else was near. He hadn't been able to perceive KB in any shape or form, but Ka'rinth was another story; Proto felt threatened. cautiously reaching for his SMG, Proto readied for any kind of ambush. He was also feeling rather uneasy with Mugiri's little spectacle*

*Mastema observed the opening of these gates of hell and simply looked and listened. Once again, Mastema seemed ill phased by it. Was Mastema such a resolute being that the face of hell didn't frighten him?* You are one of perhaps a dozen in this area capable of opening such gates. Lucifer, Satan, Belial, whatever you want to call him has no significance to me. I have seen much worse than some physical place can show me..... You want so much to find the power that can make you overcome it then? Perhaps there is hope for you after all.....

*In the confines of Eecheb's mind, the thunderous roar was but a prelude to his arrival* I have watched this conversation go on long enough, apparition. *In a swirl of bloody feathers seemingly conjured up from nothingness, Mastema would step forward, red eyes beaming with a fiery glow. He would make his way over to Eecheb and KB. Unlike KB however, Mastema was an experienced telepath and if necessary would manipulate Eecheb's mind for his purposes* Leave here immediately..... I will not stand by to watch you once again try to influence this citadel.

KB would giggle, happily. "Won't stand by and watch? I thought you just said you were watching me converse with your son. No matter, the boy isn't as ignorant as he may seem. He'll come to understand things, given time." Mastema didn't worry KB, at all. He was completely beyond the reach of Mastema in nearly every way. In fact, the only reason KB hadn't tried to enforce things was because he didn't want to force Eecheb's mind. After all, the boy was of better use free than enslaved. "Come now Mastema. Prove to the boy my words are true. Prove to your son that you are weak, that you hide behind the wall and come out only when in the mind of a child. No matter, I'm sure you'll erase any evidence that this ever happened." Turning his attention to Eecheb, he spoke to the boy instead of Mastema. It seemed he valued the boy's opinion over that of his father. "He's going to destroy your brain little one." He warned.
