Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bix wasn't sure why he'd avoided visiting Otto in the hospital. He'd felt slightly bad about what had happened in the cages, but in retrospect it was only the howling women who'd made him feel bad. Getting a rise out of Otto, despite the circumstance, had been his goal. Maybe the girls didn't get it. They weren't guys.. they didn't have a bro-code and Bix was pretty sure if the tables had been turned, that Otto would have acted like even more of a jerk than he had.

Hospital time had come and gone and Bix had done his promotion mission. He hadn't a chance to go find Otto to hang out. Heart to hearts weren't really their style and now with the slinky quetzl Mina hanging all over him, he didn't think that today's convo would be anything earth shaking. It was harder to ignore her though when she had a body and she could drag and push him.

So now he was heading towards Otto's room to see if he was in.

Mina actually pushed past Bix with some sort of super snake woman speed that he'd encountered several times since she'd gotten a body.

"Ooooh hi Otto!" She hissed, forked tongue darting between her rouged lips breifly. "It'sssss me!" She made a 'Bix face' and acted like she was firing a bow. "Pew pew!"

Bix came up behind her, rubbing his eyes. "Hey.. hey man." His eyes darted to Tenya, then Mina and then Otto.

"You too?" He gave him a sympathetic look.

"I actually had to fight mine first.." Bix grumped. "And that was better than this is." He looked at both weapon-women who seemed to be.... hugging? "Well.. well.." Bix motioned to his shiny new coat. "Yeah?"

Mina was now ignoring both men. "Well hello." She smirked as the other ghoul leapt on her. She seemed to wrap around the bustier woman. "Aren't you hot sssstuff. I'm Mina.." he tongue flicked out between her lips a moment and she sort of adjusted her bust a moment with her free hand.

"It was actually my promotion test thing." Bix stepped back a bit from the ghouls. "Bonding with my weapon.. acknowledging feelings.. umm bankai and stuff? You know. It was Allan so... by the time it was over there was a kid in a pikahu hoodie telling me what to do." If he could sweatdrop, he would have.

"Not planning on dying." Bix was watching Mina still. He'd promised her he wouldn't die too. He'd promised to think about her feelings and what would happen to her if anything happened to him. "I gotta make sure her crazy a** stays alive too, ya know?" Bix idly waved his hand at the ghouls.

"But uh.. how're you?" After all the crap. After the captivity. Did he really need to be specific?

"Well thank you.." She rolled her shoulders a bit, the scales on her body and dress shimmering. "Do you mind me assssking.. what you were? This is not my preferred form but it'sss better than nothing.." She hissed with a giggle.

Bix knew how Otto was. He was glad to see he looked well, healthy and everything. He didn't expect much of an answer and recieved about as much as he'd thought. "Well if you wanna hang out.. ya know.." Bix and Otto were good at the 'be awkward manly men' thing. "I got a new room upstairs. Kitcheonette and stuff. We can get drunk without any chicks bothering us. Or if you just wanna hang out or talk.. Ya know. Whatever. No biggie." Bix figured drinking some beer was the least of Otto's worries at this point. Screw legal drinking age.

"Ahhhhhh.." Mina was petting Tenya's hair now. Her own was thick and feathery. Tenya's was nice and soft. "I was a quetzlcoatl.." Her latin accent rolled the word in a way that only a native could. She drew up proudly when she spoke the name, almost regal in her bearing. "I wish I coudl have my true body back. Only for a day.." Her lips quirked a bit sadly for a moment. "But this will do!" Once again she grinned and rolled her hips.

"It's kind of like a big room with a kitcheonette on one side. Nothing fancy but I have my own bathroom." Bix was smiling, despite downplaying it. A new room was one of few pleasures they could strive for here. "I need to get decorations and shelves and stuff. It's really empty right now. I did steal my old bed though.. I turned it into a couch." A couple pillows, push it against a wall... INSTANT COUCH. "Mix that rum with some coke and it'll go down better. Maybe I'll have like a couple people over once the portals open. Just my close friends. Drinking without anyone to tell us no."

"I suppose.." Mina had lazily slitted red eyes but she laughed softly when Tenya twirled. The serpent grabbed Tenya's waist and spun with her, then dipped her with a hiss. Her forked tongue darted out against the other's skin. There seemed to be something vaguely sexual in every movement Mina made.

Bix looked away with an uncomfortable cough.

"Umm I can't tell.. girls are always like weirdly affectionate with eachother right?" Bix was making a face. "But they are definitely um.." His brow wrinkling, unsure what was going on. "I can never tell if Mina is being flirty or whate. She's always like that. I think she's licking her? Or smelling? Snakes smell with their tongue right?" He kept making odd faces as he watched.

Mina hissed pleasantly when her hair was twirled and he pulled Tenya back up. Her head then canted towards both boys. "Well you losssssers aren't entertaining us." She said with raised brows.

Bix strained a smirk. "She's a friggin angel, right?"

"Sounds like a plan." Bix nodded and just started to walk. He was not giving a second thought to their weapons or what they were doing. "It's uh.. 215." He headed for the stairs.

Mina rolled her eyes dramatically, planted a smooch on Tenya's cheek, and grabbed her hand and pulled her after the hunters. "We cannot let them go on their own." She hissed with mock annoyance. "If I wasssn't in his mind he'd be absssssolutely lost."

The walk wasn't long but the second floor was much quieter than the one they were used to. The doors were spaced much further apart and the hall in general seemed better taken care of. It dawned on Bix that this room may be a permanent residence for him indefinitely if he never became an assistant.

Room 215 already had a small picture of Green Arrow taped under the number as if it were a name plaque. The door swung open to a wide square room with a kitcheonette against one wall and a medium sized archway separating the room into a half. "Here were are.. Living room, kitchen, back there is the bedroom and bathroom."

The living room had some boxes, an empty bookshelf, a desk and a .... bed? It looked like the tiny bed from his dorm.
