Welcome to Gaia! ::

(Those were the last two posts, and I guess it's my turn to say something. Yay!)

"Woah, 16?!? Okay, That's a bit of a surprise, because you definately look a bit older than that. Not that I'm saying you're old or anything, just that you look more 'mature', and- I'm gonna stop right there before I keep rambling." Corey took a deep breath, got the spoon near his sundae, and took a little off the top. After he savoured the taste, he grabbed the small glass, and took it down in a single gulp. he then said "*sigh* I love coffee shots. Just what I needed, too, with all of this stress in the last couple of days."

"Good god, where do I begin... First off, the city's changed since sephiroths second coming, so I got lost in the streets because of that. Before that, I got a job screwed over by the contractor. The whole thing was a set up. Turns out he wanted my scythe for his little collection. Before THAT, I got my a** handed to me by some random in a bar, who happened to call himself the 'Silverback Gorilla'. Lives up to that name easilly, I can tell you that much. And while I'm thinking of it, the latest little incident involved me coming within an inch to killing my best friend because of my anger issues!" Corey's voice was filled with stress as each word left his mouth, and on top of that, his voice picked up speed as he spoke. He then lunged his spoon into his sundae, and devoured it in mere seconds.

(Nah, I got the page saved, luckilly)

(Oh and um, that whole assignment to find hojo bit... well, most of the turks still work for Shin-Ra. Hojo still works for Shin-Ra. 2+2=cheesecake ^^)

"Dont even get me started on pain brought to innocents. I think my record on that tops yours. And thy arent with me simply because they have there own problems which are worse then mine right now." Arcene says, not even bothering to comment on the whole 'lucky survivor' line. "What benefit is there for me too accompany you to another planet after you destroy this one, and help you destroy that one, and the one after that, and all the ones after that? What can you truly offer in exchange?" He asks. He always acted like he knew his opponent, but the truth was he didnt know anywhere near as much about Jenova as he wanted to know.

(Srry if I took a bit, I wanted to get this bit right)

Alkaid grabbed a hold of the bar as to stop them both from falling over, she blushed slightly at the unexpected hug not really noticing it though. she wrapped her arms around him as well rubbing his back a bit allowing some tears to form in her eyes as well since she remembered watching as her and her brother went to get a lone from the bank only to have the cash stolen moments later and getting held down by 2 thugs while watching 1 kill her 5 year old brother and not being able to do anything about it. "I it's alright." alkaid said ignoring the mogle thinking he might be able to help with his problem.

Arcene reluctantly nodded. He had come to the same basic conclusion as Jenova, even if it had taken a while. he planet's lifestream had been being depleted by Mako reactor's for years, and now each reactor stood as a gaping wound in the planet, still leaking the lifestream, essentially bleeding the planet out. But many people still needed Mako energy to survive, so they used it, and the hole's couldn't be plugged and sealed. He didnt even know if these people knew how to plug the holes. He could teach them, but they might not even know how... Unfortunately, combining that with the threats that had been appearing, Jenova's logic seemed awfully close to the mark.

"For Crying out loud, I don't even know where the hell she is! I abandoned her at the hospital and never saw her again, and for what? A couple of bucks in my pocket?!? What kind of brother am I!" Coreys tears ran down his face like a river, and it was after this remark that Trea came in. "Corey, listen to me, you had to take that job to pay for your sisters madical bills, remember? I was there the day you came into the hospital, and when the ShinRa guy came and offered you the job. Besides, I'm sure Jenni's safe. She's more than capable of handling herself in a fight, especially with that arm of hers." Coreys tears lessened, and he began to loosen his grip on Alkaid. Then, he let go, and completely collapsed. "Poor guy. This always happens whenever he thinks of his family... must have been like taking a knife to the heart a thousand times." Trea grabbed a piece of plastic from his pocket and slid it under Corey. It then expanded into a small floating panel, which carried him up the stairs to the second floor. "Sorry you had to experience that first hand... He didn't mean what he did. If only I could find that sister of his, he could get a piece of his life back."

"I do indeed understand, your probobly on a sensitive timetable. But something like this cannot be rushed, I need a little time to think." Arcene says. "Surely you can grant that, as the immortal, all-powerful being you are."
