Welcome to Gaia! ::

((edited))
As you step into this dorm you notice that its a very tidy place. The carpet is a nice slate blue color and the couches in the living room are a soft grey color. In the living room there is a bookshelf, most of the are actually artbooks from various artists from H.R. Giger to You Higuri. As you take a look around you see that there are very little pictures hanging on the walls and no tv. Only a cd player. Sitting up against the Cd player is a case that houses an old violin. THough dust has collected on the case so it would seem that this instrument hasn't been played in years. The cd player is always turned on and usually always playing one of two songs. Either the Devils Trill...or Contradanza

Sitting against the wall in the hallway is a tower full of various cd's from all sorts of different genre's of music. Containing various bands from finnish metal artists such as Nightwish and Sonata Arctica to pop bands like Aqua and ATC, and even other bands such as Creed. It would seem that Luna has a wide variety of music that she enjoys listening to. Music has always had various effects. From giving her inspiration, to calming her down. Though she has just recently learned about cd's and players she enjoys listening to what she has in her collection. And there is always some sort of music playing. Though..at a low volume level so as not to disturb other people in their dorm.

There is a lone picture hanging up in the wall of the hall, a hand painted portrait of a tall, strong neko man who looks very tall..and a smaller female neko with a kind face. As you look to the man you notice that he looks alot like Luna. His hair is short, and jet black with white feline ears. His shoulders are broad and he seems to be very build. There is also a scar across his right eye but there is nothing to suggest that he was blinded in that eye. His eyes are a deep green color and seem to be full of fighting spirit. This strong man is adorned in a brown blouse, the sleeve of which have been rolled up his arm. His pants are slightly baggy on him and black in color. A nice strong leather belt around his waist to keep his pants up. Turning your head over to the woman you notice that she is much smaller. With long silvery hair that goes down to the bottom of her feet. Her eyes are the same colors as Luna's, though they look very sad. As if she doesn't enjoy being married to the man she is standing with. Her shoulders are small and exposed due to the long white gown that she wears. Her ears and tail are a nice tan color. And though she looks small you can tell by her stance that she is a strong woman emotionally...just not physically.

Stepping down the hall and into the bedroom you see the bed has jet black covers. The walls of the room as black as night. The room seems to always been in total disarray. Like a war is constantly being ragged inside the bedroom. Which is why the door is always shut..and no one is allowed back there. Laying upon the ground of the bedroom are sheets of music as well as blood stains that seem to litter the sheets. The bedroom itself seems to have a very dark aura about it. And Pictures allign the wall..though none of these pictures are in frames..simply taped up on the wall..articles about a beast named Mitternacht..obituarys of one hundred men who died by the beast...And a special article that hangs above the bed..the article of a young man named Lucious...His picture staring down at the bed from the grey newsprint...

As you leave the bedroom you turn to your left and see another hallway with a small restroom at the end of it. The restroom is kept clean and seems to have an elegant red and gold theme to it. The walls have been painted a nice Blood Red color. The shower curtian is a nice gold color. Everything in this bathroom is kept in its respectful place.

Stepping back out of the hall and into the living room you turn your head to the right to see a small one-person kitchen. There is a well stocked up fridge. Mostly full of meat but there are some crisp fresh vegetables in it as well. And a wide variety of juice, water, and of course milk. You can help yourself to anything that you see in the fridge. Luna won't mind at all.

This place isn't much to look at but when you live on your own for a long time with little money you realize that material possessions are not that important.

Ryder's eyes fluttered violently open. In an instant Ryder stood up in a combat stance. He let out a small roar. He relaxed a little and took in his surroundings. Apparently, he was in a dorm room with blue walls and a gray couch that he had just been on. There was a kitchen and hall in view too. He walked a little, still on his guard and looked at various pictures on the wall, a cd player, and other things. He paused when he saw a picture of a neko. He examined it closely and he realized, Oh s**t, I'm in that girl's...what's her name? uh, Luna's!!!! room He reached instinctively for his tiger hooks swords, but finding they were not there, swore under his breathe. Well, if she wanted to kill me, she would have already He signed and then noticed his body was aching. He had a slight headache too. Gotta hand it to her, she's one tough puppy, er, Neko He walked slowly down the hallway until he heard Luna in a room with a closed door. He knocked on it...

Following her to the kitchen, Ryder stood a little away from her and said with slight suspicion, "Uh, I'll have a steak.....and if you don't mind, leave a little red in it." Pacing a little, he made a sideways glance towards her, Oh jeez, now that we're not battling and we're not trying to kill each other, she's not half bad looking Shaking his head furiously he tried to get the thought out of his head. He sat on the couch, then stood up again, "Do you want me to help?"

Laughing a little at the last part, he responded, "Well, I didn't really MEAN to go there, I just got,uh well, lost..." He flushed a little, "The place just seemed to draw me there, that, and a part of me wants po-" He stopped midsentence. "Why am I telling YOU this!!?? Why don't YOU tell ME why you chose to serve that overgrown lizard!!! Why did you save me in the first place?"

Ryder's intense features softened a little, an event that rarely occured. His amber eyes looked straight into Luna's, seeming to search for something. He said quietly, "You know Luna, sometimes....revenge isn't the best answer, it can consume you..." Ryder had a knowing look in his eyes. Shaking his head a little he muttered, "For me, I loath demons, they are foul creatures of darkness, how could you say they're NOT evil? Look at how much chaos they have caused!...My parents used to say that dragons themselves are angels locked in hell, but that's different than Kalbraxis. Did you not read the inscription on your way into the cave!?" He looked down at his steak and added, "And I wasn't scared, I just wanted to...'test' you." He noticed Luna's wounds and took out a vial of small pills, "swallow these, they'll make your wounds feel better."

With a slightly sad look in his eyes, Ryder smiled and sighed, "Well I guess I wouldn't really know about the whole dragon thing, I'm only half dragon myself. Listen, I'm not saying that ALL demons are bad, I guess that I have a little bias on that matter. In fact, I don't think I've met a GOOD demon, so I can't really say." Seeing as she hesitated from the pills he said, "Don't worry, it's not like I carry poison around with me all the time." He continued, "Shouldn't you get justice instead of revenge?...not trying to barge in on your life or anything." He seemed to examine her in a new light. "You know, I think I owe you an apology..." ((btw, where's your profile? can't find it.XD))

Following her to the kitchen and washing off his own plate he answered, "Well I think I should apologize for my reckless actions earlier. I just acted on instinct and I....I...immediately thought you were evil too. But now that I see you've brought me to your room and fed me, well, I'm sorry." He looked up at the ceiling. "By the way, do you know what happened to my hook swords?" I think I'm starting to like this girl, maybe we could become friends...Ryder thought vaguely to himself.

Leaning on the side of the sink, he looked at her in an analytical way and said softly, "Perhaps you may..." He walked towards the couch and reached under the cushions, feeling for his beloved swords. Taking them out, they shimmered the silver metal of blades. He attached them criss-cross to his back. "I have a question, if I kill your master," he paused to see how she would react, "what would happen to you and your powers?"
