Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Solaris, that last post I made with Amaya... I copied and posted the previous post that you have already responded to by accident. This is what I get for writing on Word and then copying the wrong thing. :Sweat: Here's what I should I have posted. ))

Amaya smiled and accepted Vincent’s help. “Thanks! I’m trying to remember something Armand showed me to bake earlier. They were really good, and you should try them!” It looked like it was going to be a group effort between Vincent and Amaya to come up with some sort of cake. Time would only tell if it would become a disaster or a delicacy for the rest of the UNS to try out. The Clueless Owl mixed the flour, eggs, and milk, and also added a pinch of salt and sugar. “How sweet do you like it?”

------------------------

"No, you're not a monster. You put out the fire for her too, didn't you?" Armand smiled as Demios seemed to cheer up and brighten at the mention and sight of stars. "Yup! You sure know your star constellations, Demi!" He started leading Demios back to Aeon. “Let’s go back to the young lady. She was probably just as surprised as you.”

Owen nodded his agreement to Nat's description of his symptom. "Yeah. Coughing up blood isn't a very pleasant sensation." he replied, "As for my treatment options, there aren't that many that don't involve some kind of transplant. I've been taking some medicine for a while now and it's been helping, so try not to worry about me, okay?" Owen smiled at Nathaniel in reassurance. Owen was expecting a call from a doctor in Germany about whether or not he would need a kidney transplant in the near future, but he did not mention that.




Anya rolled her eyes and waved a hand dismissively. "Don't worry about it. I just wanted you to know the possible risk that your friend could die from the poisoning. I wasn't trying to sound like a know-it-all. Besides, I'd never try to tell you how your powers work because I don't even understand the first thing about them." With a sigh, Anya crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back against the wall next to the window. It was then that Amara asked her what she planned to do with their down time. Anya blinked and thought about it for a moment or two before shrugging. "...I don't really know. Maybe make a couple of phone calls..."

Armand blinked this time. "That's a good question. Maybe Aquarius did!" the scientist joked, making a reference to the constellation of the water bearer. Both Demios and Armand knew that Armand did not have water capabilities. He was a telekinesis user. If Demios didn't do it, then it must have been someone else. Was there another Owl that had been listening to the conversation? The timing was too perfect. It had happened right after the girl had wished that the fire would go away. It couldn't have been the girl, could it? Yet she seemed so frightened of Demios and the lightning bolt. Any normal Owl wouldn't be as shaken as she had. "It has to be another Owl." Just because humans couldn't react that fast, and there usually weren't sprinklers on balconies. There were so many people in the city though, it would be impossible to figure out who did it. But again, the timing was too perfect. It had to be someone within hearing range, which didn't leave many people at all... except they had already walked on. "We'll just stay calm and figure this out, ok?"

They had arrived back at the girl's location on the grass. She looked awfully confused. "Your apartment seems alright," the red head said with a smile. He wasn't sure what to say. Maybe the girl knew something, but that was unlikely due to her reaction to Demios.

((Small edit.))

Armand did not comment on Aeon backing up upon seeing the two of them. She didn’t know why the fire had disappeared or how either. The words that came out of her mouth seemed confirm that she was unfamiliar with Owls. He smiled softly when she asked if they were Owls. Saying no would only make her more suspicious, and honestly, explaining random lightning bolts coming out of Demios’s hand was easier to explain by labeling him as an Owl instead of some robot.

The scientist looked down at Demios, smiled, and nodded. He then looked at Aeon and nodded, neither too slowly or too quickly, and sighed “Things on the news tend to be exaggerated a little, and usually those on the TV don’t represent the majority… But to answer your question, yes. If you have questions about Owls, I can try to explain things if you’d like.” Armand was hoping to calm the girl. In situations like these, lying wouldn’t work anyway. He glanced at Demios, wondering if the boy wanted to add anything. On the other hand, it probably wasn't a great idea to talk about this out in the open, despite there not being many people on the grass.

Will noticed Itachi’s reaction and the younger Owl’s surprise. He smirked. Good. Itachi had agreed. Will wouldn’t have given him a choice anyway if he had refused. “It’s not a request, Itachi… I do hope you haven’t forgotten your pledge to me. I would be very disappointed.” Will's grip on Itachi's shoulder tightened for a moment before he let go. And the Satan Owl had dodged yet another question once again. “Who told you to stop? Keep aiming, and maybe you’ll find that shortcut to getting the hang of it,” he snapped, reminding Itachi why the Heat Owl was here in the first place.

-----------------------------

Armand smiled. “Ah, no, I think you have us confused with someone else. Why would we attack the president?” Unless Aeon was referring to the attacks by Dante and company over a year ago at the White House, he really didn’t think anyone had blatantly attacked the president. The girl, whose name he had not gotten, was asking multiple questions in a row. It was almost as if he were chatting with a little kid, except this “kid” was older and more fueled by fear and trepidation than simple curiosity. “Strange abilities.” Armand chuckled. “Well, scientifically speaking….” He caught himself off before he got into science mode. He shook his head. “I’m sorry. Science is my trade. If you are comfortable with it, I can show you what I can do if we go inside, Miss…. Oh, how rude of me. I never even asked your name.” The scientist had an ulterior motive here. He didn’t want them speaking on this outside, and he didn’t want the danger of Demios and him getting separated if something happened.

Anya sighed, shaking her head slowly, as Amara walked out of the room. What exactly was Anya going to do with her down time now? She had told Amara that she was going to make a couple of phone calls. But did she really want to talk to Owen right now? Anya wasn't really sure. All she would end up doing was yell at him for being in Pennsylvania., and Anya didn't really feel like yelling at anyone right now. She was annoyed with being angry with anyone, if that made any sense for someone with her personality. Besides, Anya wanted to just have some time where she wasn't yelling at someone or mad at something that had happened. She wanted to behave normally, for lack of a better description. And with Will constantly bugging her and everything that was happening, Anya hadn't really been able to do that. She wanted everything to just stop and not have so much fighting constantly. At least for a couple of days anyway.

"Think in the coming years, I'll understand things. I mean, I will be leading a team and all." Roulin spoke before vanishing beneath Violence's blade. A trail of dust kicked up from the ground as Roulin sped over to Dante. He reappeared off to the side of Dante, but more so behind him just where he thought his view wasn't. In his reappearance, his body was inches from the ground and his leg was shooting downward toward the old man's shoulder.

"Oh. Well hopefully Roulin can live up to her standards." Moli looked forward again. A screen lowered from the ceiling and soon after, a movie started to play. "Hey Noel. You ever get the feeling that you're being....I don't know....controlled by someone? Like everything you say and do is decided by someone? It's a weird question to ask The God Owl I know, but I was wondering do you get that feeling."
