Joker sighed, "right..." With her house destroyed by guards and her only safe hiding place taken over by her rival, finding a suitable place to stay would probably need to be high up on the to do list. Sybille was a little taken aback by the question but immediately looked around and tried to think, "Well I've never been to the market and I've always wondered what it was like!" She said getting a little exited. "Why don't you take her on your little field trip and I'll try to find a place, who knows maybe you will be able to find something to wear at the market."

Chaise sat on the bed watching him flip through channels for a few minutes before her gaze shifted over to him. "I wonder if something is wrong...." She thought, "maybe he really didn't want me to go on a walk with him and I got the wrong message? But aren't guys supposed to be simple???" She sighed and layed back onto the bed giving up on trying to figure him out.

Cero noticed a very odd group of men enter the library bearing weapons. "Now why would someone be there...?" She wondered, the library of course was off limits now to anyone who was suspected of treason. She looked at the view clones that stood guard at the library, they seemed like they hadn't seen anyone sneak in. "Hmm maybe it wasn't that big of a deal after all." She waited outside the library staying clear from the troopers but still wanting a full view of the library waiting just in case.

She glanced up at him and nodded a little taking his hand. "I guess that makes sense after what happened." She thought still trying to figure out why on earth some thugs would want her grandmother's old storybook. She knew her grandmother took it very seriously. "but she was losing her mind before she died, right?" Chaise cleared the thought from her head and decided not to worry about it.

"Umm just stories..." Her eyes widened after he offered to track down the thieves, "What? No! That would be dangerous! The book isn't that important anyways haha just fairy tales right? Werewolves, and demons and such really its fine I don't mind-" She cut herself off and looked at the ground embarrassed that she had started to ramble on for too long. She held onto the end of her skirt feeling awkward with where to put her hands.

Maia looked around the village one more time then took to the rode that led out of the village. She wasn't sure where she would go this time, maybe to another kingdom entirely who knew. She whistled happily to herself, it was good to finally have a full pack again. Maia stopped to talk with a merchant for a minute before continueing down the road. She wove in and out of the crowds careful to stay out of the way of the playing children.

'Its fine." She said smiling at him a little, "the only thing missing is some old story book, I don't know why they would want that thought its nothing special just something my grandmother made." Chaise shrugged and stood up. "I'm sure they mistook it for something else right?" She looked to Jayce for confirmation.

Chaise stumbled back in surprised and more fell then sat down onto the floor with a light thump. "ouch..." She rubbed her lower back before watching the fake cops run off. She looked down at her bag and realized something was missing. "oh no..." She said quietly to herself frowning. Her old scrapbook of her grandmother and mother had been taken. She wondered why... it was mostly just stories her grandmother had made up about fantastical creatures and such.

Maia was a little sad having left her newly made friends on Kioshi Island but she figured it was time to move on. She breathed in the familiar smells of the earth kingdom market and smiled. It had been way too long. She moved her sack onto her other shoulder and looked around picking up supplies she would need for her travels. Maia collected all her supplies, and then some because who didn't need a treat now and then? She walked into a small tavern and sat at the bar to order a drink before heading off again.

Chaise dropped her bag and pulled Jayce back, "Hey stop! Don't fight1" She looked at the officers confused. "Why do you need my bag?" "um evidence ma'am" "but... my dorm isn't in the crime scene..." That was when she realized one of the police officers glancing nervously at the other officers around him. "You aren't real police.. are you...?"

She got changed and pulled on her shoes before opening the door to walk out, "Hey are you ok? You look worried about something..." She said looking at him intently the lights in the hallways reflecting dimly off of her red eyes. Her gaze was caught by a couple of police officers that were walking out of her dorm with her bag. 'Hey! What do you think your doing??" "Out of the way kid." One of the officers said and pushed her out of their way.

Chaise blushed and looked away, "Uh sure I'll go on a walk. Its probably not very good to be sitting in here all day...heh" She said nervously staring at the wall. "I can't believe he started to undress right infront of me!" She thought to herself. Chaise then watched him walk out of the room.

"I don't know is there anything to d- Hey are you alright? There are bound to be wolves around were in the middle of a forest." She said wondering why he looked so excited about the howls. She realized he was watching the window a lot last night as well. Chaise looked down at the pop tart in her lap, "maybe he is just really into wolves? Sure hwy not." She thought silently to herself before tearing off another piece of her pop tart.

Chaise opened the package and tore off a piece of the pop tart putting it in her mouth, "sure." She smiled and thought about his idea about the window being an escape. She began to wonder if it were an animal, why someone would let something so dangerous in, or how it got into the dorm in the first place. Chaise tore off another piece of pop tart contemplating the issue.

"An animal attack? but what would be capable of doing that?? and what animal would crash through a window like that?" She asked seriously doubting Jayce's theory. She looked over at him confused, "besides there are alot of psychopaths out in the world and any number of tools could be used to replicate an animal attack." Chaise looked back up at the ceiling, "I mean... if its a person atleast they can catch them..."

Sam jumped out behind Rodiin, she used the side of the ship for cover against the fire and peeked around to try to get a glimpse of where the attack was coming from. She quickly pulled herself back when the fire concentrated on her spot. "I can't see whats firing at us", she said frustrated. "How far away is this station anyway??" She asked wondering if they could make it in their suits alone.

Joker sighed, she could see it in her eyes she wasn't some phony dead spirited noble child. She was different and her current situation forced her to acknowledge that. She by far was not the most eloquent of elves but she new she was damn good at noticing things. "Well if you don't want to be killed out here you'd better keep up." Sybille smiled, "I will!" She followed Joker as she turned around to walk back Ander. " So whats our plan?" She crossed her arms over her chest to suppress the anger at herself for letting the child hang around them. If nothing else she could be good leverage against her father.

Cero sat down and stared at the filthy damp ground, "well this is just great..." She looked around the city, there were almost no rebels left. Most have them had been discovered and kicked out of the capital. As the night started to set upon the city and the colder winds blew in between the buildings, Cero pulled her hood up and headed toward the only place she could feel remotely safe. It was an abandoned factory near the edge of the industrial side of town. She found it while running from some clone troopers about 4 months ago.

"Huh?" Naida looked back up from being on the floor scrubbing mud from the tile. "Oh um its nothing haha must have been an earthquake or something." She turned her attention to Nano and her friend. "Hmmm well alright." She stood up and brushed herself off then looked at the other boy, "I'm sorry but were going to have to be closed for the time being. I hope you understand" She said smiling weakly. Flora thought about the blood samples William had shown her, "Maybe he is right..." She sighed and packed up her bag before leaving the lab. Once home her attention was directed to the research of any similar studies ever happening, she was sure someone had to have been curious before. And she was right, a long time ago in the 70s a small study on the characteristics of human beings went terribly wrong when a mutant man destroyed the lab, or so they claimed. No one took them seriously and the project was shut down.

Chaise slept peacefully until morning, when she woke up she found herself staring out of the window. "hm...?" She sat up and rubbed her eyes to help herself wake up, by the shuffling on the other side of the door she guessed the police were still there. "Jeez don't they ever sleep...?" She mumbled falling back onto the bed and looking at the ceiling.

Chaise yawned and stretched a bit, "thats... good.." She rubbed her eyes and layed down ontop of the blanket not wanting to mess up the bed. "Good night.." She said quietly before closing her eyes. The long day had taken a toll on her and she fell asleep quickly.

Chaise looked at him for a minute, "...its not like it was your fault." She said not exactly sure how to react to his rant. "Besides I wouldn't want you to get into trouble again, I would be sad if you got kicked out of the class. She smiled a little then looked up at the ceiling, "I think it would be more fun if you were in it, but I don't want you to get mad over stupid stuff like that... ok?" She looked back over at him.

Chaise blinked, "pretty and kind....?" She thought to herself in wonder. "i uh um well..." Her gaze dropped to her lap. "Its just um the place I'm from they weren't used to seeing people like me, and um I guess i scared them" She said unintentionally clenching her fists in her lap She hated that she was born that way and wished all the time she could just have normal brown eyes and hair with skin that would actually tan in the sun. She winced at the memory of all her classmates calling her a demon, or satan, or always something of the sort.

Chaise blushed a little and sat on the bed resting her back against the headboard, "well... uh... what is there that you want to know?" She asked looking down at her lap. She wasn't really keen on telling him about her past schooling experiences, maybe she would just leave the school part out. She watched him look out the window and wondered what he could be thinking about.

Chaise got changed and folded up her clothes setting them on the bed side table. The shirt was to long she didnt really need the shorts but put them on anyways. She peaked out of the dorm and saw the police walking around, "um you can come back in.." She said feeling embarrased because of the looks the police were giving her.
