Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dirge had been quiet during the aftermath of the explosion, mostly because some of that goop had covered his entire face and kept his mouth shut. The Kasha just watched the aftermath in muffled struggle, gasping once Settimo appeared and the goop went away.

Listlissley, Dirge began to follow the Black Sands lieutenant out of the chamber, but his ears picked up on a conversation between a Reaper and another student. Something about the rings - the one stuck to the student's finger.

Jamila wouldn't be too happy with that. Dirge smiled at the thought.

"Dunno what they're worth." Dirge added, lazily prowling up to the two. "But the Jamila says they're real powerful. She wants 'em all for herself, dunno why." The boil shrugged, then looked right at Wrex. "But I'd suggest not lettin' anyone ya don't know too well know you have that ring. Never know who's workin for that lady."

Shun glanced over at Dirge and furrowed his brow. That just about confirmed that the Black Sands were after them, though that still didn't say why.

"Leader of the Black Sands, a gang," he explained, "From what I can tell, both they and the Malocchio are after those things. Best watch your back from here on. There is no telling what they might try to pull to get what they want."

He was going to need to do some more digging around. Maybe there was information on these things somewhere.

"You didn't see the kid take the ring did you? I'm not exactly sure how else to explain the thing just appearing on his hand. But, from what I've seen, each of the chambers that houses these rings have some sort of... trial, yeah? Next job's gonna be figuring out what the trial is exactly. If we know ahead of time, better chance of getting ahead of the competition, ya hear?" Settimo replied, also keeping his voice low. He looked around again, lightly frowning. A moment later, his cane reappeared in his hand. He twirled it once, then started on out.

Hollandaise watched carefully. The ring had gone to a big eater and no one was terribly surprised. The green ring, the red ring - she could only surmise that there had been another in the other room. And not a one on the hands of one of the Black Sands members.

She made a mental note not to trust Dirge with absolutely anything, since he seemed intent on blabbing it out to all and sundry. If there had been any rocks on the ground, Dirge might have found one launched at him with a subtle kick. But the ground was relatively smooth, so all Hollandaise did was frown. Perhaps she would tell Settimo. Liabilities. Without a word, she left the room, pausing as something caught her eye. Again? These were not like Professor Winter's, after all.

AJ didn't join the discussion but simply listening, he had no intention about the Ring of Gluttony falling onto whose hand. Alright, the tiger student had said almost everything without considering the possibility someone might be eavesdropping. Excellent. For the first time, he was on the same side as Hollandaise and it would have been a chance to improve their relationship. Unfortunately, he couldn't read mind therefore at the same time she frowned at Dirge, he was frowning at him too subtly.

He walked closely to the group remained in the room so that he saved the trouble to speak loudly. "Yup, better watch your back, friends," he said to specifically nobody, "I noticed besides those two, there were a third party that hides themselves in the dark yet."

AJ digested the points Settimo made, trials are they? He was still frustrated that because of certain demon, he wasn't there to be eligible for competing the Ring of Wrath. He felt grumpy about it, after all he was just a teenager. "It might be the reason why they recruit students to help, different rings pick creeple showing a different trait."

"See you in the next trial, maybe." The serpent dragon left as well.

"How do I know?" AJ shrugged, "I know nothing about them and they're in the dark while another two are exposed under light." He didn't trust any of the parties, but some objective information from them were credible when you think about it.

AJ met and tagged along as he could get more of what they planned to do and supervise them as one of them. Even though their intention was bluntly stated, he wasn't sure if it would bring troubles to Amityville. After all, he had a sense of belonging towards the school which gave him a break from home.

It really depended on if the information could be used to exchange for more on what Black Sands was up to, like what the rings could do, what they intended to do with them and anything about the mysterious sponsors. The black mirror they gave some students including him gave out an ominous vibe. Grew up all by himself, he didn't easily trust anyone.

AJ raised an eyebrow at Shun, "Oh, your tone sounds like you know them." Maybe he do, he pretty much confirmed he was a reaper.
