Welcome to Gaia! ::

Troa just smirked, taking another drag from his smoke. "When you've been smoking as long as I have, being told not to smoke just won't cut it. Cause the way I'm seein it right now, there's so much smoke now that this little bit more isn't gonna do much damage." He said with a shrug. "As for the fight... no not the first one I've been in..." He said flatly, taking another drag and exhaling through his nose. "Seems like you also have the class I was in with you as well..." He added, glancing around at the people with the professor, seeing someone he thought was Celeste and some other people from the class.

((Speaking of smoking, I'm gonna have one too! XP ))

((Other World))

The Regent nodded at Leonardo’s words and watched his left hand leave the room. They weren’t out to rule by fear. Cyrus looked at Rine with a tired nod and attempted to joke. “Well, you were bored, and now.. well, I suppose we can let the cat out of the bag…” The blonde frowned after he finished what he said. Perhaps, that hadn’t come out the way he had wanted to. His tiredness was affecting his usual charisma. He sighed. ”Well, I trust things should go well. Please update me on any interesting developments,” Cyrus said as he turned to leave throne room and retired to his room.

Cyrus’s room was typical of royalty, and it was rather comfortable and spacious. The blonde king leaned the scepter against the wall, took off the royal cloak, and unhooked his sword from his belt. He picked up a picture on the desk in the room and looked at it. It was a small painting of his sister, him, and their parents. I never thought I would have to do this to protect her and world… He placed the painting face down on the desk, and he felt a slight breeze. The one in the shadows had seen the sign and departed. The result of the mission, if successful, would serve a three fold purpose. There were things at work beyond either of their controls...

"oh right!" he said and stuck his hand out. "muko's the name, killing's the game. I'm a contractor, currently some... illegal folk have my contract." His mind was running over what he had gotten from the few people ha had talked with. A murderous clown, slaughtering everyone, including the resistance. So im looking for a insane clown... Wait. His face lost all color and he fell into his seat. "a ... CLOWN... oh... oh no..." he mumbled to himself as he stared off into nothing. He sat their slouched in his chair, a look of pure despair across his features.

Troa looked around, and started a head count. "Yo prof... you're one short." He said, noting the person he thought was Celeste... wasn't. Gritting his teeth, he stomped out his smoke and looked at the building. "Let's see..." He muttered to himself. "They went out the back door, leaving the only exit from the class being the west side of the hall meaning... this way." He muttered, and dashed off to the door. For a smoker, he was quick. He used to run track in high school, and ended up being the top runner for sprint and an occasional placer for distance. "Pain in the a**!" He yelled, kicking through the back door and looking around. Ripping a piece off his "borrowed" shirt, he held it over his mouth as he headed for the stair case. Luckily, the flames hadn't gotten to the lower level yet, but the smoke was thick. Breathing slowly, he made his way back to the class. Keeping low, he scanned the room and saw the door that Celeste was heading towards. He held his breath and stood on a chair under the room's sprinkler to wet the makeshift rag. Jumping down, he took another breath through the rag as he made his way to Celeste. "Oi!" He yelled through the cloth, grabbing her arm. Placing the damp cloth over her mouth, he looked around. "Alright, take two breaths then we're movin." He said simply, hoping that the flames wouldn't make their way into the hall any time soon.

Alister looked at Noise, he knew exactly what to do at this point, he wasn't just going to up and leave "don't worry about it I'll help you out" he took a moment to collect his thoughts on what he was going to do now, he turned himself towards the exit of the building "come on, Noise i need to show you something".

Alister led them outside from the swimming pool house and down the street, they passed a few homes and small stalls that were scattered around, some sold food others random items. After a small period of time walking though the streets of Onicann, Alister stopped and turned to Noise, they stood at a cross road, one road was where they had come from, the second led to an other part of the town, and the last would lead them to a small barn not to far away.
"Noise" he pointed down the one road which led to the barn "Noise i what you to chose, if you chose this way, you'll learn my truth" he pointed down the second road "this road leads back to town where you'll live your life the way you want it" Alister dropped his arm "I'll help you which ever one you chose".

Neo finally stoped running as he turned his head in the direction he just passed. By a small foodstand stood a beautiful young woman with very revealing clothing and hourglass figure. she was with beautiful freinds too as neos tongue droped and drool started coming out as he noticed and swiped it clean quickly. He had to hurry as his apprentice might be here at nay minutte likely with news of his last flirtation and feared the angry woman greatly like a man fears his wife when he makes he rmad or forgets some holiday or another. If he was caught veing a perv with these girls he wouldnt want to think of what would happen. He quickly dashed over sneaking up behind them with twincling stars in his eyes as he tried to contain his drool as he tried to sneak a fell of the buts and when they turned startled move for the lips quick. normally he would try to woo them but time was not on his side and he was a man without reason when it came to beautiful woman with like the 6 here he was completly consumed by it, not like he resisted.

((I LIVE! Yeah, I just couldn't see a reason for Andrelia to be around where any of the happenings were until now. Now I think this is a good time though.))

Andrelia Synclair
I won't ever give up. I'll die before I let anything happen to you.

Andrelia came around the corner of the nearby gymnasium building, surprised and alarmed at the fire spewing forth from the arts building. That was where Casidy was this period! Was she alright?! Students and teachers alike had already evacuated the building, but that didn't mean that there weren't people still inside. As a teacher, he was instinctively concerned for all of the other students, but his foremost concern was to his life's sworn duty. He needed to know she was safe.

He was quickly among the crowd outside the burning building, searching for the woman he was sworn to protect. He didn't want it to look overly suspicious, even if they were friends outside of school, so he made sure like it seemed that he was looking over all of the other students too to make sure they were safe. Still, he could hardly hide his relief when he found Casidy, alive and unharmed, and helping a young, white-haired woman wearing an eye patch. He sighed audibly and walked over to her from behind, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Casidy, what happened here? You're alright, right?" He looked up at the burning building grimly, wondering if this was just an accident, or perhaps something devious. There was no telling right now, and he had to think the worst if he wanted to protect Casidy from those who would seek to harm her.

Lunia turned to face the man that touched Casidy's shoulder. She tilted her head to the side and looked at him, studying him. "You-" she was interuppted by a very sharp pain through her head, she clasped onto it and looked to the ground, letting out a piercing scream. "They've never been this bad before.." she muttered, clenching onto her head. Whenever she looked at Casidy's friend the pain just got worse, and she didn't understand why. "Casidy.. my head.." she said, becoming dizzy.
