Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh, Riyo liked this. He asked no questions. Simply complied to the task she'd given him. Which meant he was in for a surprise.

"Nnnnnnope." She replied as he suggested that she might have a key back in. Not like knocking was difficult though. She raised up her balled fist and pounded it against the door. Oh yes, she made sure at least someone could hear her.

"Lemme in, I forgot my coat." Riyo called in a harsh tone, but couldn't hide a smile.

Once Hitsu had situated Mitsu she quickly curled up into a little ball on the end of the bed, her tail swinging up to circle her body. Now comfortable the noise that continued once Yuki and Riyo had returned seemed not to phase Mitsu in the slightest. She was long gone in whatever dream world had sucked her in.

A short time after Riyo and Yuki had re-entered the room, Neko finally found himself in the same hallway. He was at this point thanking his lucky stars he was close now. His head was swimming, his body felt odd, and his heart was pounding so hard against his chest it was unreal.

Throughout his trip back there had been more than a few things to scary him out of his wits. Potted plants looked like they were coming alive and creeping across the floor in an almost spider like fashion, imps and demons seemed to lurk in the shadows every where Neko looked, faces of people in his line of sight quickly distorted into hideous beasts and the worst part about it all was Neko knew none of it existed. He knew that everything he was seeing was not real and it scared him all the more to wonder why this was happening, alcohol didn't make you hallucinate.

Finally at the door Neko slumped against the wall beside it fumbling with the key in his pocket. It took him a couple of minutes to actually wrestle the key free but as he tried to place it in the door it easily slipped from his hands as a sharp pain shot through his chest. Trying to take a few steady breaths Neko tried to compose himself before he tapped on the door for someone to come but he quickly found himself sliding to the floor. Unluckily for him he smelled of alcohol so his symptoms would no doubt go ignored at first.

Riyo gave a soft nod to Hitsu as she welcomed her back. Noticing her amusement and well.. Everyone elses in the room.

Then Hitsu let the cat out of the bag. Riyo watched him turn a beet red color with a big toothy grin. Her cat ears could almost resemble devil horns with that expression.

"Dirty? But I just cleaned them..." She said with a schoolgirl's giggle and watched the undergarment go flying.

"I'd thought about that... But decided it might be too cruel." To cruel? for her? Bah. She'd save it for next time.

"Awww, Yuki looks cute as a tomato." She said in a teasing manner and gave him a pinch on the cheek. "Remember the old saying Yuki. Don't get mad, get even." A challenge? Oh yes, definitely. She was enjoying these little games.

But before she could ask for the rest of her clothing back, a noise at the door caught her attention. A soft tapping... Then.. Something else. Riyo peered over Blade's shoulder and was automatically confronted with the strong smell of alcohol. "Oh, God.." She covered her nose and looked at Neko, backing away a bit.

"How could he drink that much in such little time?" She asked, judging just how much he'd had to drink from the way he was laying on the ground.

But something else caught her nose. Something much more pungent... It was the smell of fear. And it was strong.

She didn't say anything at first, but quietly stared at him as if trying to figure out just what would cause that around here. What the hell would scare Neko?

At first when the door opened and Neko saw Blade appear he gave a bit of a start. Initially, he hadn't seen Blade but a large three headed hydra trying to worm its way through the door frame, but as soon as he had seen it the image vanished. What the hell was wrong with him? "Y....yeah bar," He tried to sound reassuring like being drunk was the only problem.

Trying to straighten himself back out again Neko attempted to make his way through the door but a sudden sharp pain in his chest had him doubled over on the floor in seconds clenching at his chest and gritting his teeth. Sweat was starting to bead up on his face as the blood slowly began to drain from it leaving him to breathing rather labored. This was definitely more than just alcohol, but what could it.....a thought then hit Neko, though in his drunken stupor it was a faint one. The man at the bar, he had dome something. He must have. There was no other explanation unless the bartender wanted him killed, but who was this other guy?

Blade watched Neko some with a frown. As he started to come in, he noticed Neko double over suddenly. Maybe he needed to throw up, but something didn't quite seem right. Unless this guy was really that wasted.

"Yeah.. that might be a good idea," he started while trying to think of what else they could do, "Maybe we should grab Atticus too... maybe he'll have something that could help him a bit."

The thief wasn't sure if there was really anything that could help sober up a guy aside from time, but maybe the doctor would know of something. At the same time, he wasn't entirely sure if grabbing Atticus was the greatest idea considering the nights' earlier events.

"Well... let's start moving him I guess."

That said, he moved over towards Neko to help him up and such.

Riyo had almost let the idea of Neko's condition being worse than it was... Until he started clenching his chest. "I... Don't..." She was no doctor. And she'd never technically gone out drinking, so she wasn't sure if looking like you're having a heart attack was apart of the whole thing... But...

"I'm gonna go get Atticus..." She said quietly, this time snatching one of the keys before leaving. She wasn't sure which room he'd ended up in, but she could easily find out.

Neko stared up at everyone almost in horror. Instead of seeing the people he knew he saw creatures, strange creatures like he had ever seen.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you this drunk." Said the dog faced lion.

"Maybe we should grab Atticus too..." said the two headed moose.

The lion with the dog's face seemed to agree with that statement and was moving along side Neko which made him clench up a little.

"I'm gonna go get Atticus," Neko looked up to see a small cat like imp talking as it snatched up a room key and headed for the door.

"yeah....good idea.." agreed the platypus not far from the imp.

Honestly, everything was a bit much. There were two others in the room that had yet to speak. Though Neko wasn't sure how talkative the three headed dog would be though the giant mantis seemed to be staring at him in a concerned manner. At least he hoped it was concern and not that the creature wanted to eat him.

"What is going on?" Neko croaked as the lion hauled him to his feet and dragged him to the bathroom. To say the least he was rather useless in helping Yuki and Blade move him. His feet no longer seemed to want to follow his commands and his head lay limply to the side as if the bones in his body had just disenigrated. "Are we going to meet the Major of Turtleduck city now?" What the hell was he talking about? It sounded like the right thing to say but even as the words left his mouth Neko put a questioning look on his face. Hadn't he meant to say something else?

(( Was I supposed to post again or what? ))

The two headed moose had asked him a question but it was hard for Neko to focus on which head was talking since they both seemed to be talking at once. "You need to cut that out," Neko grumbled pointing to Blade in a meaningful manner as he was practically dragged to the bathroom.

"Do you want some water, Neko?" asked one head. "Or anything else?" Asked the other.

"You should really only let one head talk at a time," Neko said squinting to see Blade against the blaring light of the bathroom. "It's very confusing." Without another word he fell back as if fainting on the spot staring up at the ceiling, his mouth wide open. He took a second to look around the room before he spotted Yuki again. "Who lite Yuki on fire?" His question was asked rather calmly despite what he was asking. A stupid grin passed across his face before it twisted into that of pain as he clutched at his chest again. It was like his heart was trying to pump iron instead of blood forcing a white hot pain through his entire body.
