Welcome to Gaia! ::

"The first thing I propose then is to-"

Sun tipped back the glass, starting to down the second drink.






Now admittedly Sun didn't have ears quite the standard of Madi, but he did promptly fall off his barstool with a coughing fit when the other small woman belted out his name.

HoH recognized or no, everyone took the opportunity to stare at the desperately choking man. It was a kind of entertainment, wasn't it? Carefully, he waved his hand, finally managing to get his breath back with less coughing and more air intake.

He beckoned either both girls or one to come over, bracing himself against the bar, and then sliding back into the seat. He'd been ready to run, coughing and all, when someone had screamed his name. That was just rough!

Dead Forest








"Wh..."

The hell?

She frowned.

That voice...

She swallowed. Clenched her hands.

But then why, why did it feel so different? Why did it just feel like Max?

There was no uproar, no anger. Just...sleepiness?



The Siren let herself fall backward, wishing the bed was a tad lower for she wasn't able to place her feet on the ground properly.

Staring up at a ceiling she couldn't see, Lucind reached out once more, without words, simply using the mental trail that answer had delineated. It was a soft gesture like brushing a lock from his forehead.

You're alive. That's what I needed to know for now.



"But I have to ask you something.

So...

I need to see you."


Spreading her arms and breathing in deeply, the woman was sure her irises must've been consumed by her pupils by now - so hard she tried to see something in this darkness.

Toss.

Turn.

Sweat.

Groan.

It had been like this for hours. Rain had been brought to a room to rest, and during the entire duration, he had but a single solitary visitor, and he was only there for a brief goodbye!

However, despite the healing recieved from Asherah, Rain's condition had been worsening the entire time. He was unconscious still, but from how he writhed beneath the sheets, it certainly seemed like he was awake. Or, in a whole lot of pain.

The sheets themselves were soaked through that they had clung to his balmy flesh, cocooning himself within them inadvertantly. His knuckles would be deathly white from how tightly they would be gripping the mattress, with numerous tears from where his fingers had actually pierced the matress itself and tore it to pieces.

Not that anyone would check on him, but the oddest thing is, there seemed to be a psychic null-zone within Rain's room, which was weird because he had never displayed any psychic talents ever in his life.

Sunny felt his way back against his seat, having not been the only one affected by those powerful lungs before looking at both girls, then back up to the man who'd taken Rain to his room. He scanned about for Raven, wondering if she'd likewise heard this statement.

Speaking up a bit he answered.

"Raven might be able to help, she's had experience before."

Then carefully he inspected the girl that seemed to have her own introduction committee. The first glance turned into a blink, and then a stare.

"Ears..." He hadn't meant it, lord knew his own ears were something to be stared at...but....ears! She was shy, she'd back up, but Sun would intercept and suddenly, Madi was getting a Sunstrike once over. Teira, hell even Nocturne had gotten the same treatment. It was like caution went out the window as he tried to figure out what made her work.

One of her ears became trapped in a rub that, if permitted would start at the base of her head and then move all the way to the tip of one of those white fluffy appendages. Getting out of this without damage, he'd suddenly turn her round, looking for the obvious tail that may or may not go along with the ears.

"Amazing. You're a bunny! What's your name?"

It was all completely innocent curiosity, if a little blunt and simple.

Sun just liked knowing how things worked.

With his examination of her ears, the long fluffy extensions on her head twitched a little, Madison could feel herself becoming even more nervous by the second. She wanted to bolt out the door and hide in the trees. But unfortunately for her she wasn't allowed to run, she had work to do.

She had than began to fiddle with her hands now as though to keep herself busy; she wasn't entirely sure what was she supposed to say. A part of her wasn't entirely sure if this WAS the right person. For all she knew, this could have been a trap, or even a spy. Due to her slight paranoia, she too had now began to examine him in return, he looked as though he was an average looking man, but than stopped at the sit of his ears too.

"...Ears?" She blinked curiously at them now which caused her fiddling to stop. It wasn't very often to see someone with odd ears like herself. She had met many people with pointed ears, but never like his. They were very different indeed.



Madison smiled a little bit, and than had returned fiddling with her hands. She couldn't believe she was even doing this, considering that she usually kept herself anonymous for the most part. However, it was her turn to play the cards.

"...My name's Madison...or Madi...." Her voice was very, very quiet, in fact it may have been a real strain to hear her. She seemed to stare at the floor even more shyly as she attempted to avoid staring at his ears, she knew that was just rude.

However, it wasn't long till she finally lifted her head and stared at him with her albino red eyes, right into his own. She did look rather scared, but she only tried to push that aside at this moment, she had too. Shin was never scared, especially when it came to missions.

"Are you the one they call Sunstrike?" She continued to look at him, hoping that her long journey had not been a waste.
