Welcome to Gaia! ::

“That is why I am Pharaoh and you are not!” Tut explained to Sphinx, spreading his hands in explanation as if to say ‘that is how the world works’. Opening a glowing yellow eye, he peered up at the other as if to size him up, humphed, and ‘pah’d!’ and came to this conclusion: “You were sent by Horus to serve me! Well…you’ve obviously failed your first task, but I’m sure you’ll improve! It’s not everyday I let my servants handle the Scepter of Was!”

He cackled and lifted said scepter, before pocketing it inside of his bandages. It was then that the boy finally took a real look around, as the eminent danger was now gone. As it were, he seemed completely used to falling apart and blowing holes into people’s walls and floors; he’d done it enough at the Count’s!

“Now that no one is screaming quite so much, we can get on with my coronation party!” He looked up at Sphinx expectantly.

Now that Tut was back to normal (or what was normal for HIM), Baron turned to where he had left Vittoria, the instant that Deep Sea had made her very unlikely appearance via cup. The catman pressed his eyes shut tightly, opened them, and repeated the action, each time with the same result: the woman was still there.

Well, he supposed that if Tut could wield a magic wand and fall apart, then random women could appear from nowhere…yes. That must have been it.

Tearing his eyes away from her, he saw Vittoria simply lying in Yuki’s arms and felt a shock of panic run through his spine, enough to bristle the fur around his neck and tail; what had happened?

“Stay put!” He pushed his way past the others towards Yuki as he was getting up, only to have him, in turn, push past him. Baron followed, of course, sweeping over the young woman as soon as Yuki had turned his attention to the others. Had she had a panic attack in his absence? He should have NEVER left her side – good Lord, this was his fault, because he had known what could have, what DID happen. His teeth grinded noisily against one another, and he knelt at the head of the loveseat.

Vittoria was so tiny, so small and fragile. He had promised Count to care for her, though Count had told her to care for him. From now on, he swore to keep a closer eye on her.

“Damn…”

Removing his top hat, he began fanning her, puzzling over just how long it’d take her to regain her senses. By the sound of Yuki’s shout, they were overstaying their welcome.

[Please forgive me, guys. x-x; I'm sorry it's taken me so long, Inu's the one urging me to post right now. Stupid blocks and lack of motivation...]

In his state of shock, Sphinx wasn't nearly as confrontational as he might have usually been for someone to go snatching something away from him. Then again, why wouldn't he want to hand the thing over to someone who knew how to make everything normal again? Well, not so much normal, but to at least close the portal in the floor. It wasn't until said portal had completely closed that he seemed to breathe again, gaze darting around him for a long moment, before he rested them on the child ranting and raving about his greatness. Sphinx stood there quietly, a halfway confused expression slowly forming upon his face as he rambled on. Then, as Tut ended his speech, he quickly stepped to one side and back toward the kitchen. To Amon, apparently, without a word to Tut. That probably wouldn't end well.

Hitsu didn't seem a whole lot better off, and had quickly set down both cup and medication on a side table. She bit her lower lip in her stress, peering over Baron's shoulder at Vittoria, yet still keeping herself at enough of a distance to keep herself from being in the way. "You think she's going to be alright?" Here's hoping, for the first time in a long time Yuki had caused someone to get hurt, without Dynast being involved somehow. From her spot, she could clearly hear Deep Sea shouting on at Yuki. Yuki was clearly shouting... About something else. She hoped he was merely cranky that he'd been awakened and crashed into, and nothing more. Nothing else needed to go wrong.

If Amon could talk, let alone had ideas about his own conception, he might have been able to add to the conversation. However, he were merely left to look from Inu to Neko as they chatted on about fictional baby stories. He apparently got bored right before Inu had reached for him, reaching out for a handful of Neko's hair. So hard to resist, Inu had lifted him up just close enough to get to it.

Yet another near collision, as Sphinx stopped quickly to avoid running into Inu at the doorway. He gave a frustrated sigh, only staring at her for a moment. "Everything alright in here?" He asked, looking to Amon specifically.

"yup! thats my bunny thing! her names verde midori, aint she cute?" poke said with a grin though inwardly hoping her little friend would calm down. Her attention was then caught by the noises in the kitchen, and she walked through the hall and into the room to see that another egyptian looking guy was holding a very small baby that looked suspiously like sphinx...

"awww! what a cute little baby!" she said from the doorway

"it's not that cute" Bonsai had seen his owner walk through and now was looking at the baby more closely from his spot.

Seeing as she wasn't going to get anywhere, verde soon tired of struggeling, and as she was poked gave out a short, "meyow!" Why was she being poked for?

"Its a odd looking rabbit." Vash said curiously now picking up one of the little creature's ears to hold it out to see properly. He had never seen anything like this before in his life. Figuring he had probably annoyed the little creature enough he cupped both hands so that it could sit comfortably in his palms. Kneeling down he stretched his arms out to let his hands hover just above the floor to allow the little green ball of fluff to make its escape.

Neko gave out a yelp as Amon pulled out a bit of hair when he was finally pulled away. Wrenching back upright, Neko ran his hand through his hair ruffling it up to fill in the now tiny bald spot. Not that it really showed much but he was very particular about his hair and how it looked. Finally satisfied that the spot was no longer visible, Neko gave Sphinx a short thanks before moving back into the kitchen to sit down at the table.

“Amon huh? Your son?” Inu held the baby up next to Sphinx in comparison. She looked between them for a few moments before she finally concluded. “Nope, don’t see it.”

“Are you crazy, they look exactly alike. Look at the face paint.”

Inu placed the baby back on her shoulder, very intent on keeping him to herself. Then in a very ‘I know everything’ tone she went on to explain. “But that’s just face paint. He looks like someone else. I mean look at the eyes and the pale skin. He looks kinda like that mean cat lady at the shop…except much cuter. What was her name? It started with a C. Chastity? No. Chelsea? No.” Inu kept going through similar names that started with ‘Ch’ but for the life of her she couldn’t remember the name of the tall amazon cat lady. Finally she came to a breaking point and gave up. “Well, I can’t remember it was something like that. But I guess it’s not important since that can’t be right.” Inu simply smiled as she moved past Sphinx and closer to Poke so she too could have a better look at the baby.

When Inu was done talking about the mean cat lady at the shop it finally dawned on Neko who she was talking about. He had never talked to her but had heard many a tale about her, none of them particularly good tales either. He had even see her once, from a very safe distance, and now that he thought about it Inu was right. Amon did look a lot like Chester and if Sphinx was claiming to be the father. Wow…brave man. He had sailed seas not many men would dare face. Once everyone was out of the room Neko grinned. “So…congrats. I’m surprised you’re still alive, Chester strikes me as someone who would kill and eat their mate.” He smiled, leaning forward to place his elbows on the table.

Meanwhile, Phibrizzo made his way through Hitsu’s vast house, stopping here and there to look at things before carrying on. His dark aura engulfed the area, he wanted to be sure that Dynast knew he was coming, that he wasn’t far off but in the same instance he wanted to take him time. Let Dynast sweat about it a little until he finally got there. Placing his hands behind his back he walked in a very casual fashion until he came around a corner and was faced with the basement door up ahead. Lowering his head, an eerie shadow casting over his features, he slowly walked to his destination a smile spreading across his face. He had a few plans in mind and Dynast seemed like the perfect minion for the job. Why dirty his own hands when he could have someone else do the brute work?

((hehe, righto then! bonsai would make a great shaggy, since he's such a wuss XD))

Getting rather irritible at being in doors for so long, Bonsai opted to make a hasty retreat from the rather crowed kitchen and moved to the hallway, only to jump back in fright at verde, who was glad to hop away from the rather tall man who had tugged on her ears.
He then noticed the bandage covered boy who had caused such a fuss before, and opted to follow him. He also had noticed, in rather large distaste, the fact that the floor was wooden. "Those poor trees..." he mumbled.

It took alot of self controll for poke to not burst out laughing at sphinx sudden confession. "He's...your...kid.." She could not help but think of how sphinx could actualy have a kid. And he definately looked like him too.
Her self control snapped, and she had to lean on the kitchen bench to keep herself from falling onto the ground from sniggering and laughing so much.

[LOL A YEAR LATER!]

Mitsu pouted a bit as Sphinx took the baby from her and retreated. He was cute, soft, and warm like in comparison to any other baby animal, so naturally Mitsu was drawn to it. But disappointment aside Mitsu waved goodbye to the baby as Sphinx left.

"Don't be so down, its not the last you'll see him," Neko spoke.

Mitsu simply nodded to this and walked back into the kitchen where it seemed to be the most quiet. Not that she was against socializing but large groups of people made her nervous.

It took only a few short moments for Phibrizzo to reach the basement door before he stopped. There was a force pushing him back, though a rather pathetic one. Lifting a hand he reached out toward the door, a crack of power resounding down the hallway as the barrier tried to keep Phibrizzo out and Dynast in. A smile started to creep across Phibrizzo's face as he cracked his knuckles. "Child's play."

Simply walking forward Phibrizzo ignored the laws of physics as he started to faze through the door, energy cracking and popping all around him. It was a rather slow process making his way through the barrier but soon his face appeared on the other side of the door, the same eerie smile on his features. The light sparking around him as he forced his way through the door was almost like fireworks bringing light into the darkness, but it was to late for this puny barrier to stop him now.
