Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nara stood at the road looking at a two-story house in serious need of a paint job. There were a few other houses along the road, but none close enough to confuse the signal. Reaching backwards, the relic grabbed her partner and began to drag him towards the house.

Finally the two made it up the drive and to the front door. Knocking firmly, Nara and Iian waited patiently for their newest vic- parent to arrive.

The minutes ticked slowly by as still her knock went unanswered. Frowning at the doorway, the relic knocked again. It was a little closer to pounding though. Her hands itched like crazy. Stuffing them into her pockets she rocked back and forth, trying to keep from scratching. Nara narrowed her eyes at the door. Well, come on already.

Nara took a deep breath. About. Time. "Hi," she smiled, "I'm Nara from the Gaian branch of the Royal Library of Alexandria. I'm here about a scroll that was recently tracked to this area. We're researching the lost scrolls from the Library of Alexandria and if it's possible we'd like to take a look and see if your's might have originated from there." The relic kept the polite smile on her face while her partner twitched his hood down a little farther.

Nara glanced at her partner, biting her lip. Much as she loved him, the scrolls kinda came first. The woman's second accusation brought her gaze back sharply.

"Spying? It's a mere matter of tracing through publicly available records, prior owners, and oh- I don't know- about six months of eyestrain. Believe it or not. M'am. We didn't know for certain if this was the correct owner or house." The woman took a step forward, furious at the belittlement of their cumulative work. "As for my partner, he has his *personal* reasons for keeping his head covered. Things that I would not ask him to confront for research, regardless of how important it is." She sniffed at the woman. "Not that you could possible understand."

Fuming, Nara stared at the door. Her eyes narrowed into dark slits as she stepped back. Unable to stand it any longer, the woman began to scratch violently at her hands. Giving the door a solid kick, she was about to get Iian to break it down. Instead the woman paused, as if talking something over in her head.

Gritting her teeth, the woman knocked once more. By now her hands were covered in harsh red streaks, and she looked about ready to kill someone.

The other woman's eyes may have no longer been flashing, but Nara's still were. It was made even worse by the enforced civility. No longer caring what happened, the relic scroll stormed to the fireplace and grabbed the scroll.

Agony flared along her arms and only sheer anger kept the woman from blacking out. She flung it to the floor in front of Leia and stormed to her spot. "Get up," Nara snapped.

Slowly her partner followed her in. The entire form winced at every move his partner made, though the man made no move to stop her. Instead he waited one pace away from his own spot.

It was all the give that Nara needed. The moment the woman stood up, Iian stepped into place. A sigh of relief fled the woman's lips as her hands dissolved into green mist. The mist, cold and surprisingly thick, wrapped itself around the three of them. A chocked cry and several heavy thuds echoed throughout the mist. Almost immediately the mist dissapeared closing back into Nara's red welted hands.

The woman had crumpled onto the ground and two new beings have appeared. The children blinked quietly while the black shrouded man rushed to his fallen partner.

Her partner pulled out a buisness card and dropped it on the floor. He then proceeded to collect Nara and head out the door.
