Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Traverse Town: Gummi Hangar --> First District~Courtyard]

Even though it didn't seem as if anyone had truly noticed that he had seemingly popped back into existence behind their large group, Jiraal rifted out to the courtyard for safe measure. "Well that was just wonderful...probably should have thought that through a little bit more..." Jiraal figured he had only succeeded in being a minor nuisance to that group more than anything else, it was peculiar that only one of them attempted to attack him, albeit in futility, the very nature of anti-gravity rifting made it almost impossible to follow one into the rift without having immediate contact with the user.

Maybe he had found himself in a place where people that share his nature were few and far between but what ever the case this place warranted further study. "First things firsts...wonder if the rest of this city is protected by magic..." Jiraal decided it was best to forgo his usual subtleties once again and do things in a little more linear fashion, he extended both of his hands as Void Spheres appeared in each hand before he launched them at two separate buildings. Of course if anyone asked him why he was partaking in senseless destruction he would tell them it was for science!

"Thanks, but I don't plan to stay very long," Aerith said in response to his offer to sit, then waiting for him to continue. As he spoke about the Gummi ship Merlin had procured, Aerith couldn't help but smile- ah, this young boy really was new if he had no idea what those were. Merlin likely went off, thinking the kids knew what to look for.

When Rasxa spoke up, Aerith nodded. "Yes, you must try to keep balance in the worlds. Only reveal you're an outsider to other outsiders, and no one else-"

At that moment, Jiraal launched his attacks on the First District buildings- Cid's Accessory shop, and the three Duckling's Item shop. The Accessory shop, as it turns out, was protected by magic, but the Item shop wasn't so lucky- a small chunk of the side was blasted off.

Aerith turned to look out at the courtyard, frowning. What was this man doing? Did he not realize there were two strong warriors (and a strange one) directly in front of him (Core, Kuroda, and Xelizar)?

[First District : Gummi Ship Hangar]




Cid glared around at the group as they defended another blast. Cid traced the sphere back to its source... and saw nothing. Frowning, he pressed a few buttons on the desk- the hangar was immediately lit by bright lights, revealing that the place was constructed by shining metals of multiple colors. There was a large circle in the center of the hangar, closed off by heavy metal sliding doors. The ceiling had a similar hole that was closed off; along one side of the building, there was a short, lit runway with a single parked ship being toyed around with by some mechanical arms.

"Well, whatever it is is gone now... b*****d," he announced, muttering the last part under his breath. Turning to look back at the group, he glanced carefully at each of them, sizing them up. "I take it you'll need the Construction Panel, since your ship ain't near big enough to fit all your friends. I'm about finished anyway-"

He turned around and pressed a few keys; the mechanical arms placed another gummi or two before retracting, and the gummi... just fell as a trap door opened up. "Have at it."

"Right." Suzu tore her eyes away from surveying the hangar and walked up to the knight, with her brother following close behind. It was rather saddening to see the arms take apart the ship so quickly and easily. She bowed in thanks before turning to her twin. "Kuu is the mechanic, I'll let him deal with the gummi parts."

"Hmm, a good Haste gummi," Kuumaru murmured as he stepped forward, already building a blueprint in his mind. "That would be nice..." he brought forth their blue and silver ship, which easily dwarfed all other ships showing that their emperor and father had wasted nothing in ensuring the safety of his heirs. Kuu worked, moving and replacing blocks until he was satisfied. He thanked Sory, despite his dislike for all men near his sister... but even he knew when to be courteous and grateful. "Thanks! We can all board now and get the hell outta here before anything else decides to pick a fight with us all."

"I agree, let's get out of here. There have been more fights in a night than we've had in quite a while. A change of scenery would be nice," Suzu commented, bowing once to Cid before turning to their ship.

Lazirex was becoming very impatient with these humans. Always scuttling about, not paying attention to the one hope, the salvation of an almost extinct race. "I requisitioned your help! Now either y--" Stuff happened. In the realm of, chunks of buildings flying apart and two people suddenly 'poofing' into existence, stuff. Then, what appeared to be a little human female appeared on the scene. And everyone was scolding the man who blasted the building. Brilliance. He stepped back, curious. Everyone seemed to be acting like a loon. "Hmmm..." He said to himself. Lazirex backpedaled and walked into the nearest building, a gummi hanger.

[*~Youni~*]
"...."
[First district: Merlin's Hut]

....Everything started with an empty heart-

...Now the first steps into the future are being made...

..with Hope Leading the way.

If Youni was convinced either way about Jiraal's sincere apology, the expression in her voice didn't show it. Instead her head tilted to one side a brow rising slightly as if he said something very interesting. Her two toned eyes merely fixated upon his own.

"Are ...you...Serious?” she repeated the term back as if testing it, making sure she heard correctly.
”Serious; A level of particular concern, or something of great consequence, something dangerous, or something good. Or finally- something requiring great concentration.” She clarified like some computer reciting the definition. ”If you are asking if the term applies to 'this one', then you are correct, however- only under the ramifications of a technical level of concentration. Leon and Aerith have told Youni very specifically that is not good to blow things up for sheer experimentation purposes- Youni's own endeavors were not welcome. As for the cramps, it is uncertain, but it is a phenomenon to which all current residents agree isn’t very nice. Blowing up buildings is bad- no matter how they fixed."

Youni paused, glanced up at Merlin who hovered in the air above them, then continued, " As for Merlin’s own hand, Youni has yet to see the wizard apply restorative magics upon his own flesh. There is no conclusive evidence then that he is capable of doing such a feat. It has been hinted in his lessons that reconstructions of the body and of inanimate objects are two very specific schools of magic."

Taking a step closer she began to visually study the stranger. Blinking once or twice, then her head tilted to the toher side, causing the fringe of her silver hair to fall infront of her golden eye.
"Would it be safe to presume, due to knowing this infortation and the result of your attacks being answered- will you cease fire? Or would you rather continue somewhere else. Further destructive actions in this specific location will no doubt be met with opposition to your wishes."

Long after Baitos had finished his breakfast, he had managed to groom, shower, and get ready for a day of working. He was somewhat behind schedule and had already planned on working on one of the gummi ships under his care in the ship yard. After fixing his hair the way he liked it, the Inuwa head down into his workshop and picked up one of his tool belts, as well as a wooden case that lay open by a covered project. Inside where oddly shaped glowing blocks. He closed it up and put on his tool belt before grabbing the case by it's handle and heading out the back door of his workshop. Locking the door behind him, Baitos made his way along the back alley as he head towards the town square.

The propellers haven't been properly aligned yet, so I will probably work on that first before anything else. Baitos thought to himself, his hand getting a better grip on the case handle. As always the town was in a state of perpetual night, but clocks said otherwise as it was early in the day. There was no climate change either so it was pretty comfortable to go shirtless as the Inuwa always seemed to do with his risque attire. Baitos entered the square just in time to see the decline of commotion, which was beyond his point of interest to he simply passed along, hopefully unnoticed. He was in a good mood, and when he was in a good mood he did his best work.
