Welcome to Gaia! ::

The air was cool and crisp, quiet with no disturbance,but only the sound of boots touching the cold cement. The noise was coming from a figure walking with a hunch, it covered with a shadow as the Moon's light shined on it's back while blood oozed from it's grim smile. The figure seem to be male slightly tall with black leather jacket, dark brow jeans,black boots, belt buckle of a skull. Closer it got the bigger the building grew to it's actual size, then the noise stopped, it was ceased by a rusted gate, but a loud pitch shriek came from the rusted gate, the loud pitch shriek of needing to be fixed and oiled, and then the noise stirred again.

The german man, sitting out on the front step of his labaratory in the cool air, a cigarette hanging limply from his lip. A lighter rested in his palm, his fingers gently cupping the plastic frame of the tool. The doctor's normally olive green eyes seemed to be dulled by a multitude of different emotions, none to clear though.

As he scanned the cracks that seemed to stretch like a spider-web from his patchwork shoes. As he continued to scan his courtyard, which seemed to double as the unstable-man's prison yard, he noticed two other figures. Though, unidentifiable from where the doctor sat, he could faintly hear them, and see the faint outline of their bodies.

moving his hand up to his face, he slowly adjusted his glasses, giving a small sigh as his once blurry vision clear enough for him to at least see the figures standing by his Lab.

" Excuse me." he started, his voice a bit hoarse from lack of use, since he never actually seemed to use it these days unless laughing madly, or argueing with Marie or his senpai. Of course, the pack or so of cigarettes he went through per-day where not helping his voice and throat much more, but at least the hazardish substance kept his mind at bay. For the most part at least...

"Is...there anything I can help you two with?" he continued, coughing weakly into his elbow, before looking back up at the two. "I'm sorry to say, but Shinigami-sama and Marie do not wish for me to have visitor's in...such a state as I am in now...." he muttered, looking down at his right, where his broken box of cigarettes sat, "but i suppose... I can make this a quick visit?" he finally said.

Stein looked up, nodding slowly as Jake's name finally seemed to get caught between the gears in his mind. "Doctor Franken Stein, a pleasure." he muttered as he titled his head to the side, looking past Jake for a moment to look at the other person.

" Will er nicht um die Vorlage ...?" he asked himself, his native tounge catching him off-gaurd as he stared at the other visitor.

His mind slowly registered the other's question, his eyes moving back to the cigarette box, the abused box dented and torn in some places from being thrown and such in his own maddened fits.

"Du willst eine von diesen? Nun ... Ich denke, man kann...." the man's olive eyes widened a bit in surprise, before he coughed weakly again, "Excuse me. You are welcome to have one, if you wish." he said, his hand picking up the box and holding it with a seemingly limp arm. " I also.. have a lighter as well..." he said, his eyes narrowed now, paranoid and suspicious. Though he still offered both the lighter and the cigarettes to the man, "If they do not match your tastes, I do know where the drugstore is from here... They are unique, straight from Germany..." he said, not aware of his rambling.

His mind was not working right, the gears scraping against eachother, almost painfully. "But what was it you need again?" he asked.

[[ As you see, I tend to have him speak german, I'll translate it here for thoose who want to read it. ; D "Does he not wish to come forward...?" " You want one of these? Well... I guess you can.... " ]]

As the men conversed, a soft noise broke the still night air. A gentle voice began to float itself down the street leading to the doctors home, singing in a tongue familiar to him. “Wohin auch das Auge blicket,
Moor und Heide nur ring sum.
Vogelsang uns nicht erquicket,
Eichen stehen kahl und krumm.
Cho: Wir sind die Moorsoldaten,
Und ziehen mit dem Spaten,
Ins Moor.
Hier in dieser öden Heide
Ist das Lager aufgebaut,
Wo wir fern von jeder Freude
Hinter Stacheldraht verstaut.
Morgens ziehen die Kolonnen
In das Moor zur Arbeit hin.
Graben bei dem Brand der Sonne,
Doch zur Heimat steht der Sinn.
Heimwärts, heimwärts jeder sehnet,
Zu den Eltern, Weib und Kind.
Manche Brust ein Seufzer dehnet,
Weil wir hier gefangen sind.
Auf und nieder gehn die Posten,
Keiner, keiner, kann hindurch.
Flucht wird nur das Leben kosten,
Vierfach ist umzäunt die Burg.
Doch für uns gibt es kein Klagen,
Ewig kann's nicht Winter sein.
Einmal werden froh wir sagen:
Heimat, du bist wieder mein:
Dann ziehn die Moorsoldaten
Nicht mehr mit dem Spaten
Ins Moor!”
As the boy entered the courtyard, he paused in surprise, not expecting to see the men conversing. “G-g-g-good evening, Herr Doctor…I’ve come to check in on you, under order of Shinigami-sama. He vanted me to bring you some food, he worries about your health.” Quickly, the boy brought the sack cradled in his arms to the doctor, placing it at the ground at stein’s feet. As he rose, his gaze met the man opposite stein, blinking in confusion, he extends a hand to the man. “Verin Verdelet, one star weapon, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance…” A tired look crossed his face, a dull ache throbbed behind his eyes. “I guess you are here to speak vith the doctor, I must apologize for his state, I have come here day after day, to check up on the doctor….he…helped me through a rough time, so I figured that in his hours of weakness, I should at least help him.” With a heavy sigh, he looks at the doctor, noting his disheveled state. “Did you remember to bath today, Herr Doctor?”

(( Okay guys since you are all joining in, I'm going to make this simple where there's no confusion of who's directed to who. I'm starting a turn base, It'll go by First Name. But I'll post after this pose the turn base will take effect.))

The doctor scowled, looking at the food that had been placed by his feet, then up to Verlin. "Verlin, bitte ... lass mich nur einen Augenblick sprechen..." he muttered, waving his hand to show the boy he needed to take a step back and wait for a moment. "Siehst du nicht, ich habe ein Besucher?" he said, his voice like venom, but it then softened, worried that he was being to harsh. "Und nein, nicht als der noch." he added quickly.

His gaze then moved to Jake, " You are a teacher? Good, good. The acadamy needs more teachers.... I will be happy to help answer your questions...." the german man gave a small smile, though it was broken, before he coughed into his sleeve yet again. "Please, as I said, excuse my state at the moment, I wasn't expecting so many visitors." he said, refuring to the three.

[[ Just tell us the order Capi'n~ XD; // "Verlin, please... just let me speak for a moment. " "Do you not see I have a visitor?" "And no, not as of yet."]]
