Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I'm sure I'll post before tuesday, but just so I don't forget, I'm going camping from Tuesday to Sunday. ))

Noriyuki leaned agaiinst the stables and looked up. She rarely seemed quiet and upset, and she wasn't really upset. She was just thinking. YEs. Noriyuki was thinking. A scary thought, I know. She thought about what her life was like before she came here. She blinked and shook her head as she realized what she was doing. She jumped up. No way she was going to fall into a foul mood. Nori was never in a bad mood, and now wasn't the time to start.

She turned towards the stables and opened them up. "Aaaaayuuuuu!" She called, and her stallion jumped to his feet. She skipped over to him and pet his mane. "I can't find anyone, so let's go riding, kay?" She asked. She set the saddle on his back and hooked the reigns on. She lead him to th stable entrance and got on. "Let's go!" SHe called and Ayu started off.

Noriyuki was looking around, enjoying her ride. She blinked, made a "hm?" and spotted Fai. "Aha! Ayu! It's Fai!" She called. She turned the horse and headed towards him. She stopped next to fai. "Fai~! Finally, I find someone! Where is everyone?" She asked.

((Awww... I'm sorry buddy... lets just skip through time and finish that spar already...))

Tao looked at his brother admirably, he had gotten quite better. Naturally the older more experienced weapons master had out-tricked the boy but he was still a very good student.

"You did exellent nii-san. I'm proud of you."

((I hope you don't mind the outcome... but Tao IS kinda the best fighter out of everyone... hence his title. Ok well I WILL be around more often so do not fret fellow immortal theives ^^))

((Yep, Yep, I wanted it to end up that way anyway. Even if I got the upperhand, I would make little Suki tire out and lose.))

Suki smiled happily as he absorbed the praise coming at him like a damp sponge. He held his chin high and bobbled around happily out to the field to go retreive his sash. Then he remembered that he had given it to Aoki.

"Oh well. I'm sure Aoki-chan will take good care of it. Besides.. last I checked she was going on a mission, she'll need it more than me."

Suki seemd to enjoy talking to himself, it enlightened him of the whereabouts of everything without having to consult anyone.

"All that training must've made me hungry.."

Suki held his tummy with his hand as a gesture and approached his older brother Tao. After tugging on his clothes to get attention he pleadingly asked

"Tao-san.., I'm hungry... can we all get something to eat? Then maybe go on a mission like Aoki-chan?"

Suki wanted to act more grown up, but his little tummy couldn't wait to be satisfied. His childish manner was quarreled upon in his mind in which he agreed that it was excusable..

((Hope you don't mind all the random spacing; I just like it when it looks organized.))

Suki was never a picky eater. Usually, he'd just eat whatever was available that nobody really wanted. His pupils began to shimmer as a ray of light caught them.

"Well whatever your hungry for Tao-san. You always make the best decisions."

Then a memory struck Suki. A very fond one of his indeed. Suki could not remember the last time all the Immortal Theives sat together for a dinner. He really admired those times and wished for it to become a reality out of the corners of his mind.

"Tao-san.. when was the last time all of us sat down to eat together?"
Suki inquisized indirectly.

[[- Well, I finally arrive back on the weekend, and I find that yet another person has confronted, or more so, called out to my character. Not that I’m complaining, oh no. I actually quite like feeling involved. Usually, in other role plays, when I drift in and out as I do, people get frustrated with me and abandon me, but not here, apparently. -]]

Yori was sat in her room, paper placed to her knees, hunched over it, her fingers pursed over a brush handle as she slowly pulled it from one side of the paper to the other, forming beautifully crafter words. Symbols that held knowledge and power, in her eyes, the most beautiful thing man could create. The feel of the brush as it hugged the paper, gliding, trailing ink as it went. The curves and turns, curling the letters to the fine points of her specifically elaborate letter of instructions to Fai. For you see, Yori did not enjoy reading alone, but also the supply side of media, writing, attracted her passionate interests as well. She was happy as could be, seated there on her soft, raggedy excuse for a bed, sweeping the letters of her mind unto the paper. Every jolt, every turn she strived to make beautiful enough to grace the word the symbol help, to do the important of each letter justice, as she wrote it. Truly dedicated. Or as she was until something caught her off guard, and interrupted her work. For, halfway through the word ‘road’ something ear splitting struck her, and caused her to halt.

“Yooori!" the shrill voice called, holding out the sound or each ‘r’ and stringing it along with the ‘y’ to make the words sound all as one long chain, making a shriek sounding of a siren. "Yori! Yori! Yori!"

At this, Yori winced harshly, closing her eyes tight and pulling backwards slightly. Her hands let go of her brush, which fell to the floor with a clink, dotting ink along the hem of her kimono as it descended.

After a seconds recovery, Yori gently placed her writing materials aside, tucked up her skirts, frowning at the stains on her skirt, as she slowly got up from her warm spot on her bedding, and up into a tired stance.

She took a long sigh, one that stretched out her chest until she exhaled and it all sunk back in between her shoulders as she took off to the door, which she promptly opened and craned her head cautiously outwards from. Yori may have been slightly put off by the annoying call, but she wasn’t one to ignore a word from someone clearly addressed to her.

“Yes?” she called clearly down the stairs, keeping her voice soft and inquisitive, but not demanding, so as not to wake or disturb any other members of the thieves nearby. “Am I needed for something?”

Chi snuck down the hall keeping his back flat against the wall making sure his feet were as quite as possible. Holding up his hands he pretended as if he gripped a sword not of his own. "The brave ninja made his way down the corridor, aware that an enemy could sight him at any given moment." He switched his footing quickly and rolled into a door way and planted himself against the wall again scanning the room. "But still he proceeded through the dangerous maze, determined to find his treasure." The young 14-year-old spoke under his breath narrating himself as if his actions were apart of some sort of epic action story.

[Edan's note; XD Yus! Self narration! That reminds me of the emporer's new groove. Possibly the best movie about llamas to date. In any case, you're adorable Chi.]
