Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Eh..."

Hadn't expected her to jump up like that, but he did expect a hug. He returned it after the surprise wore off. She seemed a bit different, but he knew Madison when he saw her. There weren't that many rabbit-types around here, which was actually kinda odd since he'd heard that there was a separate race of them. It was also said they stuck to the woods, so who knew.

"Who else would let you jump on them like this?" He leaned down to let her off easy. "Let go... you doing that reminded me how hungry I am." Actually, Sun and Max just passed them and now Sunstrike was clamoring for attention.

Assuming Madi got back down, and even if she clung to him as if releasing would just absolutely kill her because she missed him so much... he hugged again. "What... what're they doing," he inquired of her.

"That's a lot of food..."

Twitch whistled at the plate as she got her chair, then went ahead and did a mental count of everyone who was near and started pulling chairs enough for just about everyone. She looked between Max and Sun, before addressing the more lively of the two.

"Just what're you up to, sir?"

In light of all of the recent entrances into the Firebrand, Ichigo stood up, returning him from his otherwise lack of alertness. Some of them were familiar faces to him, while others were those he hadn't noticed before. He figured he'd be finding out more about just who was in on this fight against oblivion in good time.

Among those he saw, he noticed the wolf man he had seen back at the Stadium...the one known as Lazenca. A smile came to Ichigo's face, seeing that the guy had gotten out of that mess safely.

The group seemed to be setting up tables with food while Ichigo was off staring into space. He figured it was just like what he usually did with his allies when they sat around Urahara's table, trying to figure out what to do next about the threats they faced. Thinking about his allies reminded him of Yusuke, who had either left the Firebrand hours ago to his own base of operations or was just off doing his own thing as usual. Ichigo would take note to fill the spirit detective in on things later if he didn't show up.

Ichigo knew he should sit down at the tables, but he didn't want to intrude on their hospitality, and his hunger wasn't yet at a fever pitch. He knew it'd hit him in the head sooner or later, but for now he felt fine. Nevertheless, he stood there, minding himself until...



Now that Sunstrike was calling everyone to attention, Ichigo didn't want to miss any of what he was preparing. So he decided to sit down...albeit unsure where to sit. But he figured it probably didn't matter in the end, so he simply took the next unoccupied seat nearest to Sunstrike. ((Ehh...I'll leave it up to whoever wants to dictate who Ichigo sat next to))

Katie watched as things started to unfold. Laz came over to speak with Madison. It was obviously a reunion of sorts. Then, Maximos and Sunstrike came waltzing back into the Firebrand. She had been waiting. Actually, she was only going to give them a few more minutes before going out to look for them.

She nodded back at Sunstrike as he went by. He had a huge smile going on, so she figured it must have gone better than expected.

And she would follow everyone to get this meeting started. She would pick a random chair that Twitch had set out and take a seat.

Thoughts ran rampant through her mind, wondering what exactly this parchment's significance was.

((Euuuggghhh, Chrisssss. That maggoty meat was for my benefit wasn't it? Last time I tell you my horror stories DX< ))

A petite, cloaked figure illuminated by the moon strode up the well worn path to the bar and grill. Her passing made not a sound, nor would anyone 'sense' the being with anything other than simple sight. Her cloak and mantle were of purest white, seemingly undirtied by whatever means of travel had brought her here. And while one could not see the features obscured within the depths of the snowy hood, there was something innately feminine about the muddled figure beneath the swath of fabric.

A delicate and tanned hand reached out from beneath the folds of fabric and grasped the doorknob of the establishment, letting herself in, but not removing her hood to reveal any distinguishing features.

What she found, the sight beholden to her was... disappointing.

Damion snapped back to reality as more people entered the building, blinking blearily and looking around. No one had said anything yet, he could afford to divert his attention for a breif moment. He noted the cloaked figure by the door, Wulf, Rage, and likely everyone else but he only knew afew and really didn't care enough anyways. Likely he would care more later, just not right then.

The earth elemental chose that point to sit down, across from Anuksu infact, laying his head down on crossed arms and pretending to sleep, head cocked to the side so that his eyes could still see alittle bit.

A smile emerged from the depths of the hood, followed by glittering amethyst eyes. Next, long pointed ears that glittered with chiming gold cuffs and dangling finery as befit any elf, noble or base. The face was strikingly beautiful, but the features were young. Falling more towards a classic young beauty than that of a seductive and matured woman.

She looked anywhere between 12 and 16. A budding blossom of womanhood, unspoiled and for eternity would remain so, although the white cloak obscured her lithe figure within it's folds.

A simple gold circlet adorned her head, glittering from beneath wavy honeyed locks of silken hair, falling to her thighs. Her smile widened as she glanced at the wolf playfully.

"It's a good thing I didn't want to go unannounced lest there be foes amidst friends. But you wouldn't let anyone eat me now would you Laz?"

She grinned at him and tossed him a jerkin of dried and seasoned meat from the butcher back at the guild, flashing a hint of gold bracer on her forearm.

"Figured you'd be needing some of our wonderful jerky on this venture."
