Welcome to Gaia! ::

Demios looked at Roulin and thought for a minute thinking of all the Owls who had been on his team and thought of their powers "I believe his name is Artemis" He said not sure how much meaning it had to him. He then noticed Moli's steam "Oh no Roulin steam" He said sarcastically. He spun his hand forming a small gust of wind blowing the steam back at him. "Be carefull Moli I could turn you into a toad and I've been meaning to try a spell with frog legs" He said.

Roulin had found some clothes for himself. He now sported a medium blue shirt designed with white pinstripes, a white tie, pure white pants and white dress shoes. His belt was black, but on it were white tribal designs. "Steam. All that's gonna do is mess up my hair. Ha! Better try something better than that Moli."

The water finally ceased and the shower curtain's rings slinding across the metal bar jangled in an unorganized song. "You two just wait until I'm dressed. I want to see you two try mess with me then!" Moli was taking a comb to his hair grinning at the antics of his brother and his closest friend. Che crossed his mind and he was reminded of the fun they used to have. He sighed, brushing certain thoughts that plagued him to the back of his mind. Now wasn't the time to be thinking that way.

"So you've found Artemis huh? I've been wondering where he was. I haven't thanked him this power I absorbed from him." Roulin placed a pastel apple jack over his hair and rolled his sleeves up. "Where is the guy? I need to speak to him."

"I guess I'll just start now." Timothy said as calmly as he could. "As we all well know, we failed in trying to kill this new upstart generation of Owls. That's not good because now, they're searching for our secret." His eyes travel to each person in the room before he looks down the infinintely long table again. "The last time, we didn't have this problem. The American Revolution and some of the two world wars hid all our activities. Now, a continent is gone because of we botched the mission. All I want to know is how did we miss? Was Sakura not fighting them? Were they all not there? I'll be taking answers now."

Frankly, Sakura was bored with the meeting already. She was in the process of examining her already perfect nails when she heard her name. "I was fighting them," she said, keeping her stoic face, not even bothering to look at Timothy. "Five more minutes and I would have had them. But, I was called away, so I responded. I assumed you had something better up your sleeve. Obviously I was mistaken." Her eyes flickered up to Timothy, the only movement she had made since the meeting began. "Perhaps you would like to try this 'blame game' again? And maybe next round, you'll get it right and take a little responsibility of your own, oh mighty leader..." Sakura's eyes returned to her nails, having said her peace.

Demios looked at Roulin and then Moli "You'd be suprised what we can do" He said. He then looked to Roulin. "It appears he's been living in his old home and apparently no one has discovered he's an owl yet" He said. He looked at Moli for a moment remembering fighting him once when he faced Che. He looked down he still blamed himself for Che and Pains death. "So Roulin any word from Amara?" He asked.

((Houston is a large city, isn't it? I have some friends in Texas, and they say they blast the AC and die inside from the cold and outside from the heat... I don't remember if they all were in Houston though. Ranches are probably in the way outskirts because of city noise pollution and ranch odors, if any. Maybe.))

Armand smiled as he entered the meeting room. “Morning! Rise and shine!” He paused for a moment before taking a seat and waving at Kira in a joking manner like a fanatic and almost hitting her cup of water. There was an unfamiliar girl sitting by Lucien. From her attitude, it felt like Amara. The random bodies of UNS people laying in the hallway were kind of strange. Massive pillow fight! Armand thought, but he had a suspicion Amara had something to do with it. Lucien’s words only confirmed it. Australia was still on the red head's mind. It wouldn't go away.

Amaya rubbed her eyes as she stumbled into the meeting room, previously tripping on one of the people in the hallway. She had apologized to the person, and wondered why the person didn't respond. She finally gave up trying to get the person's attention and continued on, yawning. So...tired... She sat down next to Kira and fumbled in her pocket. "Oh, here, Kira." She gave the red haired girl a Twix bar, clearly misinterpreting that Kira liked Twix candy bars. She had another Twix bar for Itachi too, and she looked around for him, wondering where he was.

Will didn't really sleep. He was thinking and twirling a knife with his fingers when the announcement buzzed through the UNS system. He'd be at the meeting, but he would be one of the last ones to show and would smirk upon seeing/sensing Amara, remembering her interaction with him a year before. Before that though, he happened to pass through the lobby area and spotted seeing Anya's head poking over one of the chairs. He approached her from behind. "Ah, Anya, enjoying the scenic view?" He dangled a rose in front of her face. "You forgot something last week... and don't you have a meeting to be at, hmm?"

((Fallen Phoenix))

Benkei was lazily lying on the floor of the ranch building they were currently based out, looking up at the ceiling with his arms crossed behind his head. The Americas. So, that's where they were. Westerners sure loved to fight. Even for someone used to brawls like Benkei, this was much worse. The place was horrible. Fighting around every corner. How he had been misled at first when that man had helped him with directions before he ran into Flo. He picked up the conversation between Aaliyah and Raven. He didn't like tactics like that. It didn't seem honorable to him, and he really didn't want to fight his teammates. He sighed. "Why don't we just all join the Night Owls then?" he asked. If the UNS was the bigger evil right now...

((Edit: Oops. Forgot Will.

Edited again sweatdrop and again. ))

Nova sighed silently to himself. He had just caused another explosion as he took out a group of humans who had tried to kill him on his way back to base. He figured his teamates probably heard the explosion or at least felt it as he turned to head back inside for the likely meeting his phone left at base charging. He sighed again still angry that he had been attacked by several humans since arriving here with the strange teleportation.

Neo soon entered the room actually on time for once as he took his seat 2 to the left of armand for safety reasons. Mental safety reasons mind you but still safety rasons. Itachi flew in the window soon after. He had been out handling someowl related captures and Decided the window was the fastest way in. He took a seat next to amaya and relaxed before noticing armand was next to him. It made him remember hwat will had said and he sighed again just thinking about the annoyance this would cause him later.

Kojiro woke up while everyone was talking, however he had just made it in time to hear the proposal of Aaliyah's plan, he simply stood quietly as the spoke, he grimaced at the idea that they could be sheep in wolves clothing, he was not going to simply tell them that he was scared and Benkei was right, this was dishonorable, however even worse, he may face his family in the battlefield, he mulled over the fact his family may be split apart. His face brightened slightly as he heard Raven seem to be showing enthusiasm despite their circumstances. He nodded, she told them exactly what she told him during their fight a while back, but that simply made him want to do anything he could to fight back, he would not stand by and let his family go on. He would not abandon them when they took him in. Kojiro knew he would simply have to brace himself and fight along side them, no matter what happens.

"It was the Pheonix." Sydney said, finally speaking up after Sakura and Tim finished bantering about who was at fault for the Owl teams' escape. "It teleported all of them just seconds before the final blow struck Australia." The Darkness elemental stood stock still the entire time she was speaking. The only movement was the occasional blink to keep her eyes from drying out. Her hands remained gently folded in front of her waist within the sleeves of her dress. "If I may make a suggestion on whether to kill or not kill Lucien? If we were to do that, it would create absolute chaos as you say, Timothy. But if we were to find a way to kill all four of the leaders at the same time, it might not have as much effect." She knew that making this suggestion was not very smart if they tried it. Honestly, that was what they had tried in Australia and look how it had turned out. "As to your question about the Death Owl, Timothy... I do not know much of him. My own mentor did not speak much of his past."
