Welcome to Gaia! ::

EDIT: ditto the edit in desert rp for here


after the jump, satchel let go of jade annd took a seat on the ground. he had forgotten how stressing it was to jump between worlds. the wound on his side ached annd he felt sore. he wearily looked up at jade annd smiled.

"just give me a few minutes annd then we can head over that way."

satchel pointed to a large mansion sitting on top a large grassy hill. that was where marilyn lived. it was hard to miss, since the sun lit up it's white exterior to an almost painful light. he took a second to breath in the wonderfully cool air annd smell of trees annd such. after being in the desert for so long he had forgotten how gentle a climate his home was.

after what he thought was more than just a few minutes he still felt worn out. he touched the collar annd wondered if this had anything to do with jeslyn's spells. he smiled, though. it was soon to be taken off in any case.

"so, what do you think so far?" he looked at jade before nodding towards his side, "if you look opposite of the house you can see the rooftops of the city."


*annd finally, there it is!*

*i keep getting distracted by that screenshot of tsuna annd his pawned face, lmao... its on that slideshow gadget at the top of the screen lol*

satchel was a little surprised by jade's observation. he tugged his bag into his lap annd (haha, now i'm going to laugh everytime i type it like that... 'you do remember its spelled with only one 'n', right?' lmao! what would you have done if i said no?) began to search for two specific letters. he didn't think telling her the truth would hurt, especially since she was intelligant enough to guess something more was going on (totally not a confusing sent., what are you talking about?).

after he found one of the letters, he held it up annd said, "this one i seriously need to deliver, but unlike the other serious letters the owner of this will be able to help me with this little problem," he briefly pointed to the collar before holding up the next letter, "annd this one is just an excuse to see marylin, who lives in that mansion."

with that said he carefully put the two letters in the bag with others, making sure he would be able to easily find them later. (woah, wait... didn't the original point of him being in the desert was to deliver a letter to jade? or did i change my mind annd said he just made it up to help kadin? lol, oh well... lets just go with the second anyways) one final stretch of his arms annd he stood again, still tired but more willing to walk the hill now. he pulled his bag securely to the side before starting towards the gigantic mansion.

"i guess i should warn you," he hesitantly (is that really a word...) began while trying to find the right words, "my friends, well, they're sort of...eccentric, i guess. you could say odd too... annd energetic... annd..."

it went on like this for awhile, but the author simply didn't feel like making it all up. after he lost himself in neverending adjectives such as these, he looked at the mansion annd wondered if he should just let jade stay outside... away from them. he stopped talking annd waited to see if jade had any questions so far, but he hoped it wasn't about his friends.

*annd there's a reason the desert rp doesn't have a reply! but i'll tell you on aim, its easier. so yeah, one (or two) more replies annd then i'll get them actually into the mansion, promise!*

eventually they made it towards the top of the hill, where it started to level out. satchel couldn't help walking faster after seeing the back porch, which was a gigantic stone one. he really hadn't been here for a visit in awhile...

he managed to get half way up the steps (this is a fairly big back porch, lol)before stopping dead in his tracks. there was only a small table annd chair set up on the large porch. marilyn's husband was sitting at the table annd a servant was attentively standing beside him. both were sternly eyeing at the newcomers.

satchel half bowed to dr. willhavenoname. "excuse me for interupting, sir... but i have a letter to mrs. willhavenolastnameeither."

satchel wasn't nervous, but he could always feel unwanted tension between him annd the doctor. with no comment dr. isoldandnonamestill stood annd, with his previous reading material firmly in his hand, strolled in doors. the servant bowed to satchel annd quickly followed.

soon after satchel could vaguely hear the doctor yell 'the boy is here again!'

satchel smiled annd turned to jade, "he's going in to get her, i'm sure. he never really liked me--"

"satchel!" marilyn's scream interupted his thought.

he turned to find her standing in the door way. she was wearing a fairly simple white dress that fit slimming to her ankles (annd i have no idea how to actually describe this sort of outfit...), satchel figured she was about to head out to town or a get-together. he started towards her but she was already sprinting towards him. she took no time taking him up in her arms, leaving the servants to stare in the back.

"oh my little satchel you've come for a visit! its been much too long! why haven't you been here for awhile? you really should come more often," she released her tight grip, giving satchel a chance to breath, annd looked at jade, "oh, and who is this young lady?"

*finally there!!*

after marylin had recieved an answer she immediatly turned her attention back to satchel. he felt uncomfortable, like he always did, while she eyed him up annd down, sizing up the exact changes from last she had seen him.

"my dear," she lightly touched the collar with a frown, "if you wish to go against the status qou (sp?) in fashion, i wish you'd do it a bit more... fashionably."

satchel took a step back from marylin annd nervously laughed. he did not want her finding out about what he had been doing in the desert of another world. she worried enough as it was... annd it would give her more perfect reasons he should stay as her adopted son.

"you don't like it? well, anyways," he swiftly pulled out the letter annd held it out to her, "this is for you."

marylin greedily took the letter but didn't open it. she was still frowning. "what else have you come for? you never come just for a letter, which means one of two things. you've come for a stay or you've come to find someone. which is it?"

satchel wasn't surprised at the question, it was odd of him to just pass through.

"actually, i'm looking for walter... do you know where he is?"

marylin sighed annd handed the letter to a maid behind her. "that can become a long story fast, you know how walter is... so, are you staying for dinner annd (notice the no 'or', lol, she expects both if its one) the night or leaving right away?"

satchel shrugged annd turned to jade. "i can go either way, what do you want to do?"

*annd i can go either way too, lol... if they stay the night it just gives a chance to intro more ch.s, if they don't they can just go to the town... also, whichever one they pick will determine the time of day, lol, because i haven't decided on that either... annd double happy bday!!! i was totally going to write that ouran/khr fanfic, or at least a drabble scene, for your bday but being sick got in my way :*( maybe i'll get it done this week though!*

before (annd for the first time in a long time a reply has started without my ch.s name being the first word!!! *le gasp*) satchel could turn around to face marylin he was forced into another hug. he couldn't see marylin because his face was being squeezed into what he hoped was her stomach annd not chest. he tugged on the slender arm wrapped around his head before he found it too difficult to breathe.

"miss doesnthavenameyet, why are you holding my satchel so unmannerly(its a word now)?" marylin asked, not from beside satchel but steps away.

satchel gasped against miss lamerznoname chest. although he hadn't heard the name before he recognized marylin's tone of voice annd use of 'miss,' annd figured it was a maid. he put more force into backing away from her. how could a maid be this strong? he was about to actually push at the maid when he was getting short of air but her hold seemed to loosen annd he was able to pull his head back. he took in as much air as he could annd as quickly as he could.

after he could breath again he tried to step away from miss isachildmolestermaidlol but found her arm was still wrapped around his neck annd a hand on his shoulder. he blushed at the short distance between the two. he looked up at the maid's face annd silently questioned the contact. the maid, however, sternly looked him in the eye annd showed no signs of releasing him. he shuddered under those dull but meangingful (lolz) eyes. (annd once again we see how satchel is scared of girls too easily, lol)

marylin frowned. "well, i'm getting impatient. explain yourself now."

the maid finally released her grip on satchel. he didn't realize how nervous he had been until she let go. without a second thought he teleport himself a fair distance from her instead of just stepping away from her. the maid turned towards marylin annd gracefully bowed.

"forgive mmy rudeness, my lady. your husband wishes you at the party annd asked that i take care of the boy."

marylin jumped. "the party! i had forgotten about it during the excitment! satchel, darling, you don't mind if miss dulleyedmaid takes care of you until i return, do you?"

satchel shrugged. "we have to be going by morning..."

"of course! i know, i know. job is busy annd all. i won't be out all night, i promise!"

satchel smiled annd rubbed the back of his head (an anime gesture, i know, but i can't resist lol). "its alright, go enjoy the party. we'll see you later tonight."

marylin seemed relieved by his reassurances. "well then, until tonight. have a lovely evening my darlings!"

with that miss evilmaidzonparadez bowed again when marylin had left annd then turned towards the house.

"if you will follow me, i will show you to your meals."

satchel waited until the maid was a fair distance away before following. he lowered his voice annd leaned closer to jade to make sure the maid couldn't hear. "what a creepy woman. have you ever met someone like her before?"

he glanced up at the maid annd shivered. did she just hear that anyways?

*finally posted! woo!*

satchel shook his head annd turned to face the maid only to find he had nearly run into her back. she had stopped walking annd her shoulders were shaking. he raised an eyebrow annd took a step back. had she heard what they were saying?

"here is the room, you are asked to stay here to eat dinner... if you'll excuse me now."

she wasted no time in scurrying down the hall after she spoke. satchel sighed annd felt a little bad for talking about her. he opened the door annd walked in.

immediatly walking in the room his eyes lit up. he recognized the various gadgets everywhere, the chalkboard with complicated sketches-- this was sean's room!

as if on cue sean appeared among towers of books that were on the floor, curious green eyes looking at his guests through small glasses. he sighed annd ran a hand through his dark chestnut (totally assuming thats a hair color for humans too, lol) colored hair.

"so it's you again... bring me anything interesting this time?" sean smiled.

satchel shook his head. "not this time," satchel stepped aside so sean could get a full look at jade, "sean, this is jade... jade, this is sean."

sean stepped out from among the dusty books annd held out a hand. "welcome to my, well, rather messy room, jade."

*annd there it is finally! feel free to jump in random characters if you want! lol*

*lolz *dusts off rp* i'm finally replying to this one! woohoo!*

"well, i bet they'll bring it up for you soon, since we have yet to eat as well, so-"

sean was broken off by the sudden dropping of a certain young woman from thin air annd on top of satchel.

satchel tried to sit up, the woman- no, it was gretchen, was now sitting on top of his stomach, staring back down at him. he froze annd stared at her. what would he do now?

"what're you doing here? where is everyone else? ... how did you get here?"

gretchen continued staring at him. before he opened his mouth to ask again, she grabbed by his shoulders annd pulled him into an awkward hug. he blushed annd was too shocked to stop her.

"i'll make it up to you." she said into his ear.

sean ran a hand through his hair annd shook his head at the small amount of fallen objects on the floor. "so you did bring me something interesting afterall..."

*not much, but there!!*

gretchen let go of satchel annd he wasted no time in moving away enough so he could teleport even further away from her. he turned away from her annd rubbed his face trying to get the blush to go away.

gretchen stood annd faced jade. after dusting herself off she started to explain.

"we were still being held in the cart when we heard yelling. after awhile kadin suddenly showed up annd demanded help in bringing natalie to that world for some reason."

satchel flinched when he heard natalie had been involved. honestly, couldn't kadin keep himself out of trouble for just a few days? now he was going to have to pay for natalie as well as worry about getting back to that world. he sighed. just another thing to worry about.

sean ignored all the tensions in the room annd patted satchel's shoulder, "come on now, cheer up! let's get you some food annd i'm sure you'll feel better!"

*maan, its been forever since i updated this!! lols, but here it is finally!!*
