Cecilia sat down in the seat next to Roulin and tour open her own bag of peanuts with her teeth and popped a few of them into her mouth. Cecilia was far from an empath, but it was clear from Roulin's expression that there was something on his mind. Still, the young Cosmic Owl was not the type of person to poke and pry. "I think we're all ready for this fight to be over," she said, the left corner of her lips curving upwards while the right corner remained stationary. A light pink tinge lightly brushed her sapphire cheeks as Roulin complimented her attire. "Thanks," she said. "I like your top as well. The color white really suits you." She took a long drink of her soda, draining half the bottle in a few gulps making it clear that she was very thirsty. Of course because she drank her soda very fast, it started to come up again, but she covered her mouth and swallowed one good time in order to suppress a burp for she did not want to disgust Roulin.

"You've no idea, Cecilia. I'm pretty tired, but I know I have to keep going. That's the only problem here." Roulin replied before popping a few more peanuts into his mouth. He opened his soda, the fizz bubbling up to the top, then sat it by his side for when the salt finally got to him. Thanks to Zane's power though, he was sure that small amount of dehydration wouldn't get to him. "Thanks. This whole outfit I just tossed together. I'd never be caught in something so...basic. Slippers? Really?" The owl forced a grin to add to his attempt at humoring the girl. Looking back out of the window at a few explosions and a rising smoke stack, Roulin revealed his frown once again. The reflection on the window, which the disappointed man couldn't see, was enough for Cecilia to go off of. "Hey, Cici," started Roulin calmly, "What do you do when you think you're at your wits end? We've partly been searching for Che's Deck any and we've found no artifacts. What've we been doing this whole time besides...killing and stuff?"

"We all have to keep going. We knew this wouldn't be easy from the start," Cecilia said staring down at her bottle of soda as she lightly drummed her fingernails against the neck of it. She then looked up at her purple-eyed boyfriend and smiled in a reassuring manner. "It's all part of the great war that we are in. Yes, what we're doing might not seem like much, but it's all part of an even bigger branch. It's like my grandmother used to say. 'Each little bit helps'. Along with, 'Cecila Arianna Charmers get your hand out of that cookie jar right now young lady,'" she said trying to lighten the mood a little bit before her expression became serious again. She lightly touched his shoulder both comfortingly and affecionately. "Everything will be fine. When I'm stressed out and at my wits end, I usually meditate. It helps calm my mind and helps me think more clearly. Of course, to each his own."

 Ҝѻjῐrѻ Ίʐɑѻyѻῐ═━┈...The Border of Dreams┈━═The Fallen Phoenix 【╳】 xxxxxxxxxxxx㊌ The Frozen Owl....㊌ ╔═══════ Kojiro himself began sightseeing, he looked at the tall buildings and structures that would have taken any normal crew, months, if not years to complete. He helped as much as he could have, but he still did everything he could to keep things moving. Kojiro placed a small letter in a small envelope on her door, he scribbled her name on it, to make sure she knew it was for her, it was not an amazingly long letter, but it was a letter none the less short and got his point across:
Raven,
I may be gone for the rest of the day, hopefully I will see you when I get back, there is someone I would like you to meet..They might be able to help us.I should be back by the evening.
-Kojiro
Kojiro turned on his heel and left, he did not want to bother her while she was conducting her business, he was aware of how busy she could get, she she could not afford to slow down to talk. He simply hope she would not exhaust herself. As he made his way out, he passed by Soliei, the second he crossed him, he felt a chill shoot down his spine. Kojiro could not put his finger on it but he felt something, odd about him. Kojiro simply walked away and headed back to Serena's abode, he knew it had been about a week since he last saw her, he figured perhaps he could talk to her and see if she was really worth trusting. 【 ✘】 ═══════╝

Now in South America Lucien found himself in a bittersweet mood, on the one hand he was happy to be back in a familiar territory but he was sort of sad to lose the serenity, but that was just his life. He looked at Amara as she asked to looked for the deck, he shook his head. "No we don't need to be looking for that warzone now." He knew that they would never find it anyways, not with the three of them just randomly looking anyways. He wasn't about to go waste his time looking for a lost cause, besides no one else knew where it was either it wasn't like they were at a disadvantage. He looked down at Vincent and shook his head again. "No in a country like this we don't need to be attracting that kind of attention we need the support of as many people as we can, breaking up a riot with force will not give us that edge." He smiled down at Vincent and shook his head lightly. "But it's good to know that you've become more bold."

((sorry)) Amara looked at Lucien and nodded. He had a point, what was she thinking asking him that. "Well what do you suggest that we do? I mean you are the master of strategies" she said with a smile. Looking into the distance she sighed. "I suppose we can try and see if anyone else from the UNS is here" she told Lucien, not knowing what to do just as of yet.
"Cheeee" a seductive voice could be heard. It was Victoria, the herald of mind. "I've been looking for you everywhere darling" she said to him, waiting for a response. She had been in hiding but she felt enough was enough for now.
Looking at the television, Sabrina sighed. "Oh the wages of war...nobody ever truly wins" she said walking near Timothy. She had to admit the new base was nice. "When are we going to meet with the oracle? she asked referring to Raven.
Vincent looked at Lucien and smiled. "Okay, I won't go looking for trouble" he said to him. He looked around it seemed peaceful where they were at but explosions could be heard in the distance. He would wait until the two adults made up their minds where they were going to head off to.

The young blue cosmic owl managed to get a laugh from the fatigued man beside her. Thanks to her solemn efforts, he was pulled from his spell realizing the error of that way of thinking. The way of thinking for Moli. When Cecilia placed a hand on his shoulder, his attention was drawn to her fully and as she went on, he nodded to show his agreeance. Taking her hand in his, he kissed it, the lowered her hand to the armrest of the jet. "Yeah, still have people to fight for. Almost lost sight of them. I feel once we land, our resolve will be put to the test. I hear there's a war going on here. The plan is to end it for their sake and ours. Maybe in doing so, we won't be looked at as....trash."
~~~
Che had long tossed the apple core to the ground. This wasn't his land, so to him it was useless. Pulling the scowl over his face more, he picked sand from his white novelty, cricket with sunglasses t-shirt. Victoria's alluring, but still distannt voice rang in his ears. Rolling his eyes, but smirking promisingly, the traveling Owl took her bait. "Darling? Uh huh. I've been looking for you too...kind of. Where are you dearest? Stop hiding from and come out to play..."
~~~
"Textbooks announce otherwise my dear." Timothy spoke low as usual to the other Herald. Like a family member, he loved her, but still his tone of voice reflected that which was always on his wired mind. Business. The Earth Herald brought up a good question though. Turning only his eyes to the girl, he responded, "Now if you want. She should be expecting us anytime soon." The Herald stood and gathered a coat, but dressed his feet in nothing at all. His knees were still at the wrath of the cold as well due to the slits in his light blue jeans. Tossing the green tinted lady a coat, he nodded. "It's cold outside. Take this. Now let's go."

Victoria smirked as she made herself visible. "Now I don't believe you, you know all you have to do is think" she told him as she moved closer to him. Taking her index finger she ran it across his chest and gazed into his eyes. "So what do you have planned next Che?" she asked. "I'm guessing you're going to South America as well? Several of the people have made their way their because of the Civil War" she told him.
Sabrina caught the coat and looked at him with a smile. "Thanks" she said to him. She looked around and proceeded to walk with Timothy. She said nothing to him for a while, even though it was silent, she was used to it, they had some of their best conversations through silence. Whatever the Oracle had to propose, Sabrina would be on her best behavior to listen to everything carefully.

Che was no doubt impressed by mind's abilties. Even through the years, she did well to supress her power. Even still, this wasn't the place to hide. As Victoria ran her finger over the bushy haired man's loosely covered chest, he grinned slyly before taking her by the wrist. "What do I have planned? What do you have planned? This, Ms. Thing, is completely out of my control honestly," said Che as he pulled the hunted Herald closer to him. "I don't think I want to go there...I'm still a coward at heart you know? I can only manipulate paper. My power's aren't anywhere near as good as yours."
~~~
As Timothy walked towards Raven's area of New Exire with Sabrina in tow, he looked around at the buildings that were being constructed. In the distance, he could hear hammers beating nails into steel and rivets being driven into girders. Feriociously, these Owls worked to build a new home and on the inside, this brought a bright smile to Tim's spirit. Now looking forward, Timothy finally decided to break the silence. "Sabrina," he called back calmly, "I do thank you for what you did last week. With the pheremones. I needed to relax for a minute and remind myself of my job. Can I ask though why you did what you did?"

((what about moli???)) A surprised expression graced Victoria's face. Was Che serious or was he really ******** with her??? She looked back at him and sighed. "Are you serious Che?!?!?!?...I just thought you were trying to get your deck back...hmm...I think...maybe you can speak with that oracle girl...I mean who all knows that you have a new body anyways? she asked in curiosity. To be honest I'm just as lost as you are" she said with a heavy sigh.
Sabrina could hear the mixed sounds of construction. Building a symphony of mixed noise. When Timothy asked her why she did what she did. "I suppose I felt you needed to relax" she told him putting her hands into her pocket. Maybe she could tell him that she had grown to care about him over the years, but he was all business. "I guess I've been working with you for so long that I can tell when you need to wind down" she said blowing the topic away gently.

Although people were passing by the two giving curious stares, Che still twirled about with Victoria in his grasp as if her were on a ballroom floor. Coming to a stop, the owl leaned the herald of mind back and held her by her waist. "Seriously? I thought you knew me better than that. I don't like to fight...but I do if I have to. And I was joking about the powers. Mine kicks your's a**," the sarcastic owl quipped with a smile. Che leaned back and lifted to himsef once again. Now, with a slight tinge of seriousness in his purple eyes, he continued, "I want my deck back, but I can't get to it until that b***h does her job and wakes up. Now as for being lost...just you. I have my gameplan baby."
~~~
"I need more than relaxation." Timothy replied almost quietly. Keeping his light blue hues forward, he added, "I'm willing to admit that I need to wind down. I'll never admit that I need to stop. I thank you again though Sabrina." The electric elder slid his hands into his pocket and continued on for a few more moments before speaking again. "After this war is over, I won't hold against you if you quit. When your duties are complete, you're free from your resposibilities if you choose to be."
~~~
"C'mon...c'mon...c'mon...." Moli had made himself breakfast and even made himself lunch. All of his efforts were to keep everyone away during his training time. Thankfully, it was a modest amount of time to used for himself. A good two hours of nothing but lightworks. Today's lesson was giving light weight, changing the color of it, and creating multiple light clones. Defense one day, offense the next. At the edge of a beach, Moli stood taut with a ball of light focused in his palm. Hundreds of colors splashed across it giving a strobing effect a raver would just die to be around. So far, the color count has reached two hundred thousand and the number is still continuing to grow.

Nikolai sat by himself at the back of the plane, his eyes closed and his music turned up loud, trying to block out the thoughts in his head. He had failed to keep his promise yet again, he couldn't keep Happiness safe, he couldn't defeat Rage, and he couldn't save Sydney. Nik sighed as he still couldn't get his head clear; he couldn't shake the thought or the feeling that everything that happened was his fault, just like before. Hindsight was always perfect, if he had gone by himself when Happiness first told him about it, or even just brought Anya, they probably could have at least stood a chance against Rage. So many things he could have done differently, the battle itself was hardly important, the three emotions nearly killed all of them, if it weren't for Sadness they wouldn't have even made it out of Azarath. He opened his eyes and eyed Roulin and Cecilia in front of him a ways. He could tell that their conversation was somewhat serious, and they had already talked about their failure in the days following it, but why didn't they seem sorry about it? Why didn't it seem to carry the same weight with them as it did with him? Was he the only one who really even cared that they had just failed to keep Rage from taking over Sydney's mind? Who knew what she would be up to with Rage at the controls of her body, but Nik knew that it wouldn't be anything good.

((I'm not going to be able to really post this week, but here's one just for the time skip)) ((UNS - Will - South America - A UNS run resort in Brazil))
The past week had been relatively quiet with no real fighting besides some of the visitors and members. Nikolai and Anya had never returned to the mansion in Hobb's End or Hobb's End at all. If they had been in the vicinity of the town, the Satan Owl would have known. Well, he knew where they were now. It didn't matter to him. The blonde devil had made contact with all that he needed. However, just because he found the week to be mostly eventless, it didn't mean others felt the same way, especially during the time Will left the place to go attend to some "meeting" he had.
There was Morgan, who Will hadn't bothered with when she stumbled into the dark room where Che and he had been conversing. The Satan Owl said nothing about her drunken stupor. However, Sebastian sure had something to say. Later, the Satan Owl's butler slipped something in Morgan's food to make her puke and the smiled innocently to her."Ah, have you been helping yourself to drink again? Little humans can not handle the high quality."Sebastian had also mixed the bottles in the alcohol stash with bottles filled with toilet cleaner, so that the next time anyone, including Morgan, stumbled onto the secret stash, they would be surprised.
Then, there was Che, who woke up with his bushy hair completely in braids, becoming the butt of much laughter and jokes from the others. Then there was also Bailey, who unknowingly had a secret peeping tom sneaking peeks at her as she showered peacefully. Whether she noticed or not was something Luna can decide. Bailey may have thought she saw a shadow. Kate and Johan were relatively free, with Kate winning in being the safest. A few books started taunting and floating around Johan once or twice.
Anyhow, at the end of the week, Will had provided a private plane for them to get to South America. They had reached yesterday. Currently, Will was conducting his own business and not really bothered by anything going on. There were others to take care of business, and he wouldn't be needed unless some major sh*t was going down.((UNS - Amaya - South America - A UNS run resort in Brazil))
Via communications from the other members of the UNS, Jeannie, Amaya, and Itachi had managed to rendezvous with the other UNS members. Thanks to Itachi's horse per Jeannie's suggestion, they had a mode of transportation to get there. They had just gotten to South America with the rest of the UNS members yesterday. South America brought back memories for Amaya. A couple years ago, she remembered coming here with Amara and Jhelae and going shopping. However, their shopping spree had been interrupted when Amara insisted they go toward some mountain.... and then chaos ensued after that as Jhelae and Amara fought Che for some reason that Amaya hadn't understood at all. The Clueless Owl wasn't really doing much now. She was just wandering in the UNS resort. To her luck, she had found a piano and was playing a song on it to relax. -------------------------- ((Other - Genya - On the plane to Japan))
The past week had been rather fun and random with his two new found friends, the Breezy Owl and Annie, who Genya did not know was an Owl. Unknown to the Japanese Owl, Annie had tried one last time to steal the winning prize of paying for the bill at IHOP the week before. The blonde American had failed, and so the bill had really been put on Uncle William's tab. Annie had fumed, declaring that this was only a single battle in the war of friendship!...whatever that meant. Genya had no clue, and it was random. Whatever the case, it was an eventful week, with Daryle and Annie trying to stop Genya from experimenting on everything he saw. No one had bothered to tell Genya that the crepes were not tacos, so he thought they were tacos. In fact, he even wrote a letter to Demios telling him that he had tried crepe tacos! With a goofy smile, Daryle had kicked Genya into the private plane with an all too cheery "Baaai~~~"Alas, Genya's days in the United States came to an end without Genya ever meeting Demios again, though Genya kept the Demios doll with him. Now, Genya was on the plane back to Japan. It was a private plane, so there weren't really too many people on it. ----------- ((NPC - Cerbs))
After returning to Will and harassing Sebastian for a bit, Cerberus had once again returned to Roulin and company, having been "found" conveniently by the group after they had returned from Azarath. The three headed hound was lounged in a special Cerberus seat of his own and being relatively quiet and docile. For all he cared, the plane that the Azarath crew was riding on was his. It was more his than the rest of them anyway. They were all tired, broke, and hungry. Cerberus....apparently wasn't, or rather, his master, wasn't.

Cecilia laced her fingers with Roulin's as he lowered her hand to the armrest and squeezed his hand gently. She felt that even if they did manage to end the war that was happening in South America, there would still be humans, and even Owls all over the world, who still resented them. She knew that it would be impossible for everyone to change their views on them. It was something that couldn't be helped. "Perhaps so. I suppose that we'll find out soon enough." Her lips twitched in an expression of amusement. She couldn't help, but wonder how the natives would react to an Owl of a different color? She didn't exactly blend in with a crowd. "I'm also quite interested in seeing what their reaction will be towards me. Everywhere that I have traveled, the reactions towards me have always been different. It's actually turned into a fun little guessing game," she said with a small laugh. The week that Bailey had spent in Will's home was...interesting to say the least. The young Diclonious Owl found that she had a Peeping Tom each time she took a shower. At first she had assumed that it was Che. But the way her hairs stood up on the back of her neck, she realized that it wasn't and that there were a few more guests in this house that were not of the living world. Now, a week later, she was in South America within the UNS building. She came to learn that there was a UNS Headquarters on every continent. She sat within the bedroom, which she had claimed and stared down at the city below. All four of her vectors had snaked out from her back, Bailey felt the familiar pull when they did so. They seemed to be doing the same thing that she was. All four of the ethereal arms turned towards her in unison. Bailey nodded. "Yes, we will have to fight. But when we do, you are not to harm any humans." The vectors drooped almost disappointingly, but they could do nothing as long as the collar was in place.

Victoria's face went stale. "Ugh well hell, I thought something had changed you Che" she admitted. She looked back at him with a scowl. "Then I'm coming with you, so let me in on the gameplan and I'm not taking no for an answer" she told him with a determined tone.Sabrina looked at Timothy with a stoic tone. "It's no problem" she said to him. When he finished his last statement she smiled to herself. "Yes, I will be resigning....my time as a herald expired a long time ago, as well as the others...but I'm not going to force my opinion or views on the rest of you" she told him. The silence increased once more as they walked.
Aeon knew that Moli had been training and she hadn't bothered him for a while. He had been cooking breakfast and lunch. She made it for breakfast and would save the lunch for a little later not wanting to stuff herself. She could see the intensity of the light from the bungalo. She grabbed a book and began to read as she hoped that Moli had gotten a little better.
