Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Well that wouldn't do! Zenogais shouldn't be able to get away with that juvinile behavior. It certainly wasn't a good example to set for the children if anything, whom by now had their eyes locked on the general. This conference gave both Eecheb and Trilla the oppurtunity to apologize for leaving Zenogais more or less homeless. Alpha Zenogais seemed so bitter sometimes, perhaps an apology might throw him off. The children by now, had been getting used to people simply appearing out of nowhere. Mastema did so on many an occassion, Slayer made a grand exit at their birthday party, Alpha Zenogais had a holographic emiter that could make him virtually invisible... it seemed to be so common place, that they were readily getting used to it. Considering half of their genetics, one day it was probable that with trainning, even they could move about as many of the others in the citadel. Nana would nod to Thanatos and then address Zenogais, though in a sturn tone showing her dislike for what he had done to her step-son*

--_--;

.........Zenogais.

*It was a bit surprising to hear from Zenogais, something of a positive nature. Especially considering that most of the time, he was lashing back with some off handed remark or being rude. As for the children's apologies, it was all a matter of when really. They could apologize before the conference, or afterwards. If there was an intermission of some kind, they could also do so then too. However, neither one was probably ready just yet. They'd have to build up their nerve, to face the general. Still unaware that Zenogais was also Zeph, to them, this was their first time laying eyes on the metal general in several months*

>_>

Hnn. Thank you.

Eecheb: <_<

Trilla: .__.

Micha: . . .

*Pompous? There was another word the children weren't familiar with, though by Thanatos' tone, it wasn't a good thing. If Zenogais was too pompous, then perhaps he wouldn't get an apology at all. Eecheb's tail would slap at the side of his chair cushion, and his wing tips would flex momentarily, he had also picked up on Thanatos' tone aswell. If Thanatos didn't like Zenogais all that much, and his other siblings didn't, and he was really scary that one time when he beat up on Proto....... then why should he like him either right? Trilla's wings would also flex momentarily, when the small exchange between the two occured. Nana was taking a small sip of water from the glass infront of her, and Micha as always was just... Micha*

Eecheb: ~_~;

Trilla: e__e

Micha: . . .

Alright... so it was a sphere and not a dome. Not like he was surprised.

But he had another idea, something-

*twitchspasmtwitchtwitchtwich*

-ow...

Alright, lets try it.

He starts banging on the shield again, varying stength and location with every hit. A slow, steady drumming with the ghostly fists.

In the Citadel...

For a few seconds, Cole is visible to Sho sitting cross-legged in the middle of the conference table.

Sho: ^^ Hope you've been doing well since your birthday. *Hearing Nana's greetings, he waved* Hiyo~ ^^ *Sho would blink at the apparition in the middle of the table, but he chalked it up to his eyes seeing things and disregarded it for now*

Slayer: Likewise, my lady. You look splendidly more healthy than the last we met; your recovery is coming along very smoothly I take it?

*As Sho and Slayer settled in, Mastema looked around* Where on earth is Omega Zenogais?

Than: ._. Anno..... Otosan...... *Than pointed up*

*Mastema raised a brow but then looked up*

*Latched to the ceiling was Omega Zenogais, still as death; she looked like she was ready to pounce on something. Her entire, monstrous form was unnervingly stiff. Apparently she'd been there for some time, unnoticed*

Ah.... well then......

Trilla: <.< | Ya. | .__. | ? | ^.^

*Trilla briefly blinked, while looking over to Thanatos while he was talking. Her reaction was much like Sho's, had she actually seen this apparition aswell? Even if it hadn't been directed at her, Trilla did have some sort of latent and developing abilities, much like the others did. If Trilla could see this "Cole's ghost", she didn't seem to be frightened of it. Looking briefly from the table to the door, Trilla would smile a little with her mouth open of course. Nana would smile firstly to Sho, and would then reply to Slayer*

^_^

Hnn. Thank you Slayer, and yes I believe so.

*Listening to Thanatos and raising their gaze to the ceiling, there would be a variety of different responses no doubt from those who saw Omega. From Nana, it was like someone with a fear of spiders being placed in a room with several small ones. Omega had once chased Nana down a long street, and that had never set well with her afterwards. From Trilla, simple curiosity, she had seen Omega once before but didn't know enough about Omega to know what to think. Finally, from Eecheb he was a little surprised to see the large white hissing thing again, but if anything.... now he wouldn't have to go chasing around to catch a glimpse of it. For the moment, all he had to do was look up. Micha had not looked up, and remained staring blankly across the table, he'd blink occassionally, but nothing more*

.___.,

....!

Eecheb: o__o | ?

Trilla: o.o | ?

Hmm..... since we are just about all gathered, we will give just a few more minutes for anyone else to arrive

Sho: That thing still creeps me out sweatdrop *Sho was no doubt talking about Omega*

Zio: *Another of Zio's screens would appear before Orias* Attention, Orias. I am to inform you that the conference will begin in less than five minutes.

Cole stops pacing (outside and inside the Citadel), blinking owlishly as he realizes he had been talking to himself AGAIN.

"Get a grip Cole, you need to stop talking to yourself."

He shuts up for a bit, then starts to pace again. He's obviously still thinking hard on the shield, and with his overactive mind its not surprising that something slips out.

"When a twister a-twisting will twist him a twist,
For the twisting of his twist, he three twines doth intwist;
But if one of the twines of the twist do untwist,
The twine that untwisteth untwisteth the twist.

Untwirling the twine that untwisteth between,
He twirls, with his twister, the two in a twine;
Then twice having twisted the twines of the twine,
He twitcheth the twice he had twined in twain.

The twain that in twining before in the twine,
As twines were intwisted he now doth untwine;
Twist the twain inter-twisting a twine more between,
He, twirling his twister, makes a twist of the twine."

Faster and faster he goes, repeating the verses in their entirety over and over again.

To the amusement of Sho I'm sure.
