Hikari sighed heavily swaying the child in her arms as best she could, all while unsure if the child even needed comfort. She concluded that it was in her best mental health to assume that the passenger really indeed need the comfort even though It had stopped it's crying long ago. Or had it been only a few minutes.
"Names... Names? where, What, are their names?" The teen fumbled with the ticket between her fingers in hopes of acheiving some sort of information, yet to no avail. She glanced back at her long and seemingly lost friend, Chao for some sort of explanation.
The red head in her arms merely mimmicked his new found guardian, twisting on his perch to peer over Hikari's shoulder. Upon seeing Chao's passenger he managed a somewhat youthful looking smirk. Not cocky, nor forboding in any way. He gave a curt wave before being jostled about in his 'holder's' grasp

Chao returned the helpless look and shrugged, "I-I don't know," she looked to the little boy in her arms, oh dear gods was she his guardian now?! and smiled as best she could, "I don't suppose you know you're name, do you little one?"
The little boy looked up at the woman who was holding him curiously, before the other boy's movement caught his eye. Grinning happily he returned the gesture with enthusiam, nearly falling out of Chao's arms as a result.
"Sie!" he called happily, "SiesieSIE!" what a fun name the other boy had!
Chao gawked at the redhead in her arms, well... that had been unexpected.

"Hi!" Sie shouted currently too caught in the moment to not be fazed by the knowledge of his name. Waving cheerfully he ended up turning around in Hikari's grasp so that he could face the other boy. Green and blue eyes squinted in concentration in trying to recall knowing this boy. Nothing in his memory of the other child in Chao's arms came to mind. Stranger then. " What's your name?" He asked, hands falling on his mother's shoulder revealing scars along the tops of his hands.
Hikari glanced over to Chao with a worried look, biting on her lower lip. The guardian's eyes flashed at the sight of the scars on her new son's hand, only adding to her worry.
"Chao, shall we go somewhere, and talk this over or something," She said, even thought it was she that reminded the other girl that strange things happen in Gaia all the time. Yet she couldn't help but feel shaken by the current events.

He puffed up his chest a bit in pride, "M'Cheshire Avery Seven."
Cheshire blinked. Oh no, he wasn't supposed to say all of them! Badbadbad!
"But... Siesie jus' call Cheshire 'Cheshire', yes?" he asked, looking to Sie imploringly.
"Yeah, yeah... let's just.. go upstairs," Chao replied, staring at the little boy in her arms and looking more than a little unsettled herself.
It was weird, being this shocked when similar things had happened three times before now... but she couldn't help it. Before she'd usually had some sort of warning before these things happened and the surprise of all it coupled with the fact that this place, this Junction, with its weird train and appearing kids was their's.
She shivered a bit.

Sie nodded nonchalantly, dusty red hair flopping about as he did so. He thought to himself though after rolling the name on his tongue a bit, Chechire was too long was it not?
"Okay, Chesh!" He exclaimed happily, yet facial expressions faltered as he heard the nick name fall out of his mouth. Bad, Sie. He said Cheshire, not 'Chesh'. He gave a sheepish look to the other boy.
"M'sorry," He said very quietly.
Hikari gave Chao a very drained look before taking a few steps toward the stairway in which they had entered through. As luck would have it...The power went out, and not even after her third stride. Damn that Gaian karma.
"Where are the lights?!" She shouted, unable to restrain her frustration any longer.

Cheshire smiled, then frowned at waved his hands, "nono, Chesh fine," he replied, grinning, though his grin flickered as the lights went off.
Looking around he tilted his head (not that anyone could see it), "where ligh' go?"
"This is a bad omen," Chao murmured, grimacing even as the words came out of her mouth.

A beam of light cut through the darkness, flashing at the two teens, and resting on them as a shadowed figure approached.
The figure made a sound that sounded like a cross between a scuff and a scowl somehow turned into a sound, "You two tresspassers! What are you doing down here?"

Sie relaxed, happy that Chesh was not angered by the name that had slipped out of his mouth. He flashed a cocky grin, covering up his apologetic face, but as the lights dimmed into darkness, he could only yelp. So much for keeping a 'cool' appearance.
Hikari sheilded her eyes as the beam landed upon the 'crowd' before turning her head to Chao.
"A bad omen indeed," She muttered to her friend before braving the light. The teen did a double take at the silhouetted voice. 'Tresspassers', had they not bought this place? Things just continued to get worse...Didn't they.

Cheshire pouted a bit when his question was not answered and blinked blearly into the light. "Peregrin?" he ventured, sheilding his eyes with his hands and attempting to peer at the shadowed figure.
Oh great, they had a squatter of some sort.
Chao scowled, giving Cheshire a curious look before shifting him to one arm and sliding her hand to where her gun rested. "Tresspassers? I think not... er, sir," it sounded like a man anyway, "we're the owners of this pla-"
The lights over head flashed back on and Chao blinked, blinded slightly by the sudden change in lighting.
"-this place. Yes, we own it. So who are you?" she squinted at the man to better make out his appearence.

"As your... boy has just pointed out my name is Peregrin," the man snapped off his flashlight and dusted off his shirt. "As to the ownership of this place... well, don't make me laugh," he scoffed.
He glowered at the teens a moment longer, before blinking, and casting a curious look at the two children and reaching into a pocket, extracting a small, red book. After checking his silver pocketwatch against his book he snapped both shut and looked back to the group.
"I suppose they came on the train then?" he asked after a moment, eyes softening a bit.

Sie glanced back to Chesh. He wriggled in Hikari's grip, motioning to be put down. He scowled when Hikari did not take the hint. He crossed his arms and leered to the side of the Teen's head. This was not going well.
Hikari ignored her 'captive's' struggle, eyes set on this man named Peregrin. Feeling somewhat confronted, the teen sheilded her new bundle of cocky and glaring joy before speaking her mind...
"Excuse me, good sir. But we purchased this...Junction at an auction house not too long ago," She stated boldly, "Might I add, that even if it was an accident, we still payed our gold and intend to keep it," Intend to keep it? What was she thinking? She shook her head as the words fumbled out. What had Sirus always told her? 5 second rule for speaking?
An eyebrow quirked at Peregrin's added inquiry. Odd that he would know such a thing, even though the train had made quite a bit of noise. "Yes, they did..." She muttered rather confused, "Why do you ask?" Hikari added as an after thought.
Sie couldn't stand being ignored any longer. His scowl formed into a hybrid of pout and leer. He began to kick about lightly and wriggle his arms. "Lemme go!" He shouted angerly, though not loud enough to echo upon the cavernous walls. "please." He added in an deafeated tone, an after thought at best, but one that eventually led to him finding hard floor beneath his feet. He padded over to Chao and looked up at Chesh then to the man before the group.
"You kno'im?" He questioned softly, as if his presence wasn't known already to Peregrin.

Chao threw Hikari a slightly confused look, but quickly saved face and nodded her assent.
Glancing down to Sie she gently placed Cheshire down on the ground as well, then placed one hand on her hip, waiting for an answer from Pere.
Cheshire flailed a bit for balance and clung to Sie. At the question he shook his head, glancing between the curious man and his friend, "nu-uh, do's Siesie kno'im?" he whispered back.

"I suppose that straightens a few things out then..." Peregrin murmured to himself, pocketing watch and book.
"Well then, I hope you enjoy owning this fine establishment," he replied dryly, "though I suppose I should warn you that any attempts you make at getting the Junction itself up and running will be fruitless endevors." He did a sort of half-bow, "best of luck getting this place cleaned up, it's absolutely filfy. Good day." Turning he began to walk back towards the large booth from where he'd apparently came.

"Nuh," Sie whispered after balancing Chesh. He gave Pere's retreating form a glare that just breathed 'don't mess with me or I'll do something ebil'. Turning his attention back to chesh, he smiled with a concieted air.
"Well. What now?" He asked looking around the big hall. It looked so fun and so...Icky.
"Hey, wait!" Hikari called after Peregrin, but recieved no notification that she spoke. She set a confused glare on the man and turned back to Chao.
"What now?" She mimicked Sie's words.
