"Why thank you... believe me, it takes a lot of practice." Tomoro smiled faintly when the young girl Andi attempted to help her; it was just so... cute! Little kids these days were so innocent, so protected from the outside world; they were surrounded by bliss, never to know the true horros of the world... it was then that another girl came up behind her, and Tomoro bowed deeply, her eyes closed for a moment. "It's a pleasure." The woman seemed kind, and Tomoro took notice to a fox tail on the back of her. A fox... demon? Perhaps.... Putting her hands behind her back and taking a hesitant step backward, Tomoro nodded as the other woman took control of the situation. There wasn't much that she herself could do anyway, only able to control plants. She didn't even have her herbs with her today, so she couldn't create a remedy of sorts... in short, she felt utterly usesless, standing there, unable to help the clumsy girl.
Tomoro glanced over at Gauron... he seemed to fade away amongst the crowd, as she once did... he would stand out more if he decided to help. However, it wasn't her problem, and Tomoro didn't really care at the moment what the boy was doing; he wasn't the one hurt. Her fingers curling around the frill of her dress, she watched as the young girl finally realized what was going on around her. At first glance... she seemed rather... dense, to tell the truth. Extending her fingertips and looking at her neatly manicured maroon polished nails, Tomoro then noticed the girl staring at her. Biting her lower lip, she turned a light red and looked away. Is there something... on my face? Tilting her head to the side, she smiled lightly, and then the girl shook her head; that only led Tomoro to think that she had something maybe... in her hair? Maybe it was a sublimial hint that she had something in her hair... she didn't know. Shrugging lightly, Tomoro smiled once again, her black eyepatch fitting neatly over her right eye, the earrings she had in her ears shining brightly against the sunlight.
"Chu Ping... what a cute name." She said softly and silkily; the girl really was quite cute. "I thought... this was an empty room too... apparently we all came here thinking the same thing..." Crossing her arms, Tomoro looked up at the ceiling... why HAD they all come to this place...?

Andi looked up to Tomoro, smiling brightly. "Well, you're good at it! Oh! And this is my Mommy!" she said, pointing to Rayna. Rayna scratched the back of her head once more, grinning awkwardly. This was weird- Rayna looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen. "Yeah. But I haven't had her yet, if that makes any sense." Rayna told her, chuckling a bit nervously. Andi grinned, looking over to the girl that had just called herself Chu Ping. Before she said anything though, she glanced down to the fake neko ears that had fallen off. She pent down quickly, grabbing them and standing straight up once more, smiling.
"Here you go!" she said, handing the girl the black ears. Rayna smiled. "Hi, there. I'm Rayna." she greeted kindly, watching Andi hand Chu Ping the ears with a small grin on her face. Andi was always so kind to other people. She remembered being her age- she was the same way. Only, when Rayna was six, she was a bit more naive...She sighed, shaking her head and glancing over to Tomoro. When she saw her take a step backward, the smile disappeared as she gave her a curious look, tilting her head to the side. "Are you okay?" she asked.

"Thank you," she said cheerfully to Tomorow, before she decided to blend in the background. Her attention quickly turned back to the child around her age, Jhaleina tilt her head sideways-- and then lift her crimson gaze to the very young lady to was a mommy. Her small explaintion of a child not being her child yet was almost as confusing as the young elegant lady who suddenly decided to stay in the background. She scratched her head, pouting, adverting her eyes to the floor, telling them that she did not understand the explanation. "I suppose it doesn't make much sense," she mumbled childishly. Not looking forward to actually understand the mother's statement, she looked away.
The young girl's quick reply, almost made her jump. "Ah," she said with a sudden gleem in her blank eyes as she ahdnfully grabbed her black and fake neko ears, "Thank you," she said in great acknowledgement, dusting it off before setting up on her short and silver hair, her bells began to ring again for her smallest movements. She glanced over her shoulders, checking if her fake tail was okay. Nothing seemed broken, thus she smiled.
Soon after taking whatever belonged to her. "Hi Rayna," she said enthousiastically. With a short attention span, she looked back at the youngest girl, the almost non-existent child and grabbed her hands," Ne, what's your name," the spirit asked.

Tomoro merely observed the surroudings at the moment; everyone seemed to get along so well. Combing her hair with her fingers, Tomoro stood up straight and gazed at Rayna. What did she mean she 'didn't have her yet?' Wasn't she right there, in flesh and blood? To be sure, Tomoro extended a finger and poked Andi, then retreating. Yup. She was all there. "I'm fine... don't worry about it." She said, tilting her head to the right, a few strands of hair falling in front of her face.
Cupping her hands, she made her way over to Rayna slowly. "They appear... to get along." She said, smiling faintly. It was quite the sight, the two girls apparently hit it off well. Tomoro felt a little awkward... she had taken her boots off, and now she was just walking around in her lacy socks... it was just a bit embarrasing. Sighing lightly, she glanced at the boy in the room before mustering up the courage to ask Rayna just what she meant. "What do you mean... you haven't had her yet? Perhaps... a time warp brought her here...?"

Andi smiled up at Chu, giggling. "My name is Andi!" she answered, tilting her head to the side as her short, ruby red hair swayed with her. Her fox ears twitched. "No, it doesn't." she said, giggling again. "I like your ears! They're so cute!" she added, rubbing her ears slightly, and gently, so they didn't fall off.
Rayna looked over to Tomoro and nodded, grinning at the two. "Yes, they do. But Andi gets along with nearly everyone." she said, chuckling as she crossed her arms. Rayna then heard Tomoro's question and looked up to her, straight in the eye. "Exactly. According to her, there's this war that's happening in 2022, and I- well, my future self- sent her here through a time capsule." she explained, nodding to Andi. "We recently found out that...well...my boyfriend is the father." she added with a slight blush. "Andi didn't know who he was, because he was forced to leave us...the war was between Humans and Demons, you know. But since..we're part demons, both of us..." she trailed off, sighing.

"I'm very please to meet you, Andi," she said with great joy, as she tilt her head, grinning to the little girl before her. Apprently, Andi didn't seemed to be bothered by how unsually wan--almost translucid Jhaleina actually looked like, and even help from the coldness that was emitting from her hands. Perhaps it was because she was non-existent?
She almost zoned off, until Andi's voice brought her back to reality, snapping out and broke her chain of thoughts. She continued to smile however, giggling as Andi expended her arms in order to touch her ears. She bowed a bit, so the young girl would have a better access to her fake neko ears.
"Ah thank you, but you have pretty ears too, actually, they are real, wow," she said in evident amazement as she, too, closed her small fingers on Andi's ears, cautiously trying to feel it's so furry texture, "Eh heh," she giggled out playfully.
Somewhat listening to Rayna's story at the same time she tilt her head, and remained quiet. There was so many people with such different past and future. So many people with different values, different abilities, and ambition... and ye, it was funny how, Fate and Destiny have pulled their little strings and gave them the opportunity to meet. Ria was such an amazing place, it was just a surprise after another... She was now more than just grateful to be here. She was just more sure now that she will be able to go back to Heaven...

"A time capsule... how incredibly strange. If that's the case... then there must be a war coming up sometime soon... oh my." How strange it was to think about such a thing... who knew a war would be occuring so soon from now... it was a horrible thought. So many lives... so many people... Tomoro closed her eyes for a moment and thought about all of this. If anything, Andi must have been a blessing, a warning of what was to come, and that itself was amazing in a way. She would have never thought a war would occur. Of course, most people wouldn't think like Tomoro did. Not at all. They would be baffled by just the fact that someone came back from the future, freaked out about it. Tomoro had seen too many things to close her mind to all the possiblities around her... everyone in this room had something unique about them...
Smiling to herself, although she didn't know why, at the moment she truly felt a place of happiness within her heart, just meeting all of these people. Turning to face Rayna, Tomoro looked her in the eye and removed her eyepatch suddenly, revealing her black scar. "I just... hope that there are more times like these... in the future. Times where everyone belongs, and can join in on a conversation." Cupping her hands together and bowing her head, eyes closed, Tomoro said a small prayer and then turned to the other girls, watching them smile and giggle.

Rayna nodded, looking over to Andi and Chu once more. Now that she thought about it, there was a war that was coming up...and she and Charlie would be seperated...and so would all her friends, because Rayna was only a half demon, and Andi was a fourth. She then looked over to Tomoro, widening her eyes at the scar. To lose an eye...Rayna had a bit more respect for her somehow, just by seeing the scar. She bit her lip, pulling a strap of her black tank top away a bit, so Tomoro could see the large, noticeable scar on her collar bone. "Yes....I hope so, too." she said quietly.
Andi did notice the coldness of her hands, but didn't really seem to mind. She giggled as Chu felt one of her ears. The ear twitched again, and Andi grinned. "Yeah, they're real. So is this!" she added, turning her body to the side, so that Chu could see the fox tail swishing behind her, the same reddish color as the ears. "I like your tail!" she said, pointing at the black tail Chu had.

"Ah," she said, almost breathless as she stared at her fox tail in awe, "It must hurt if someone steps on it, ne? So it have any utility," she asked, very curious. She had never owned real ears nor tail, however, she had always wished to have them... However she has her wings... Well actually sort of, for some reason she cannot pull them out; to her she assumed it was because she was a fallen angel and that she had lost her wings during the fall. However, it never occured in her mind that when an angel falls, the only thing that one loses is one's ebony wings. They turn black, a sign that one has sinned.
She turned again, away from Andi for another brief moment. 'War' again was being repeated. And it mysteriously had an odd ring to her eyes, almost making her twitch, sending some cold and violent shiver up her spine. A dormant feeling in the depth of her soul, began to rise; a mixture of fear and the feeling of being abandonned tried to resurface. However, unable to understand the cause of the pang that she just felt when the young ladies mentionned war, she tried to ignore it, and tried to put it aside and at the back of her mind, where it continued to nag her entire being...
Why, now that they have mentionned war repeatedly, does she feel oddly nostalgic and overwhelemed with loneliness? More questions began to fill her once happy and idle mind. "Er..." she first trailed off, somewhat lost and unable to find the answer of her question.

Tomoro nodded silently, and brought her hand up, placing her pale fingers upon Rayna's collarbone. She would probably find it really freaky, but Tomoro, in a way, was so shocked to find out that someone had suffered as she did. How much pain had this girl been in...? All the petty thoughts she had of how bad she was, how she was the only one to suffer so instantly vanished into thin air, and she let out a sad smile, moving her hand back down to her side. "So much pain... so much hurt..." Without saying anymore, Tomoro turned to the girls, her pale grey eyes observing every detail, her frail body taking in everything that was happening around her.
Andi seemed completely oblivious to everything that was happening around them, and Tomoro smiled softly. She was just... as innocent as they came. However, her gaze switched to Chu and she bit her lower lip, noticing that Chu was trying to hide something. It didn't take a psychic to notice that something was up. Taking a few steps toward the girl, Tomoro bent down on her knees and let out a soft smile, stroking Chu's hair softly. "Don't worry... I don't know... what's up..." she said quietly, looking away for a moment, her grey hair framing her face and covering up her scarred eye. "But... it will.. be okay. It's not for a long time." With that, T omoro stood up and smiled, swiveling around, the many layers of her dress shifting underneath her. "Well now... now that we're all here... what to do...?"

Rayna, though surprised at first, didn't do anything when Tomoro touched her collarbone. She just widened her eyes, staring at her hand. It wasn't bad that Tomoro had touched the scar- it was just that Tomoro was the first one to touch it, other than Rayna herself. But she didn't really count herself, anyway. Rayna nodded. "Yes...a lot of pain..." she said softly, looking down to the scar, letting go of the strap so that it fell back in place. 'And death, too...' she thought, the thought flowing to Tomoro's mind. At first, Rayna didn't notice this, but then she had realized, and gasped silently, looking up. She also looked over to the girls.
Andi tilted her head to the side, giving Tomoro a slightly funny look, but smiled all the same. She shrugged. "Well, I wanted to see how Mommy fought. Mommy used to tell me stories about when she travelled. She travelled a lot." she said, nodding. "Even more than I did now?" she asked. Andi nodded. "Mommy said that she travelled around sixteen and nineteen and stuff." she told her, grinning. Rayna raised her eyebrows, nodding. "Cool...I guess." she said.

"But it will be okay," resonnated in her mind for a rather long time. For some reason, it almost sounded familiar. The lady's who's name she hasn't caught yet's touch was very comforting, like a mother's touch, who's trying to ease a child's fear. It was heart-warming, pushing every hint of pains, doubts as well as question away. Such simple act has made things better so quickly to the point she felt as if she was breathing with a lot more ease--a burden thrown away in the depths of the dark sea.
She leaned on the patched-eyes young lady's hand as she stroke her hair. It felt as if it's been more then a thousand years that she has not felt this light. Whispering a 'thank you' as Tomorow turned her back at her, she was able to find herself smiling again.
"Ne, ne, I wanna," she raised her hand jumpy on the spot. Jhaleina then waved it, happy-go-lucky once more. What did she wanted to do? "Erm, I forgot," she said, sheeplessly as a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. Putting a clentch palm on her mouth, she avert her eyes back to the ground.

Death... Unconciously, the thought came into Tomoro's mind, and she figured it was probably sent from Rayna. Giving her a sad look, her eyes filled with emotion, Tomoro nodded and looked at the ground before bringing her eyes up to meet Rayna's. "So much death. I can't... even begin to describe it." Of course, Tomoro held in that she had killed off her own grandmother... she had just met this woman, she didn't need to spill her past out. Nodding, she turned back to Andi and Chu, she smiled as she saw Chu do the same. It felt so good to see her relieved.
"We should all go out and do something..." Tomoro said suddenly, walking over to the spot where she had left her boots. Slipping them on effortlessly, she went back over to the three women and moved her hair away from her face. "What do you guys say we go do something fun?"

Rayna nodded, placing a hand on her chest. Her heart hurt. There was a lot of death....but now wasn't the time to be sad again. She didn't want to be depressed, wallowing in the past and pitying the death and events that had occured....not anymore. She didn't want to be totally consumed in the past like she had been. She wanted to look to the future and smile, and not worry about things as often as she did, or think back as much as she had been. But sometimes...things just don't work out the way you want them to, this being one of those times.
Tomoro had broken Rayna's thoughts when she had suggested going out and doing something fun. She smiled a bit, nodding. "Yeah, that sounds great." she replied. Andi beamed, almost bouncing up and down. "Yay! That sounds fun! What can we d-" though she was cut off by a loud grumbling noise. Andi looked down to her growling stomach. For such a small girl, it was an awfully loud noise. She looked back up, laughing nervously. "I guess I'm a bit hungry..." she said, scratching the back of her head much like Rayna did.

Gauron kept quiet listening to their conversation thinking stuff over. He was a bit shy and nervous being with 4 girls. He rest his head on his hands and started shaking his head. What have I gotten myself involved with....Damn my nature and personality. Why can't I keep my cool when I'm around girls?!? He continued to keep quiet and then the sudden thought of asking what they could do came. He couldn't stop himself and his curiosity, and asked,"So...what are you're powers?" to each girl.
He was shy that he had to do something his mom and brother asked him to do, get along with the girls and boys of the new school he would be transferring to. He looked away and waited for an answer. If they ask to spar, I should slowly back away...
