∞ Physical Description ∞
Moa has a tall and willowy figure, standing at a height of 5'0, and weighing a mere 100lbs. She has flawless pale skin while her eyes are a simple, pale shade of red, causing her friends to dub her bunny, partly because of her appearance, but mostly because of her fascination and love for those creatures. Of course, because of that, she has also being nicknamed the moon goddess, from the legend of the woman who lives in the moon with her rabbit.

She always wears something like a school uniform, which colour compliments her eyes. Whether in battle or just slacking around, she usually carries a pillow with her, so she could easily fall asleep whenever there is time to. It brings her some comfort too, so she brings one along with her, hiding it in her clothes so people won't think of her as weird.







∞ Likes ∞
♥ Rabbits l especially the white ones. Moa can never resist those balls of fluff.
♥ Candy l Her favourite is the Japanese sweet Senbei, but she eats any other candy too, enjoying all of them immensely.
♥ Soft things l Like pillows, they give her a sense of peace and comfort.


∞ Dislikes ∞
✖ Scientists | She's had a bad feeling of doctors or scientists ever since they got shot down and those people did tests on her. She is always wary of them and has a great amount of negative feeling and distrust toward them and their work.
✖ Betrayal | She is not one to take betrayal too easily, and hates it when people back stab her.
✖ Being alone | It makes her feel hepless and afraid, so if you leave her alone for a period of time she would become increasingly affectionate all of a sudden.


∞ Talents ∞
✔ Singing l Her voice is melodic and beautiful, and it can change in pitch and tone smoothly. Still, she hardly sings anymore.
✔ Acting l Though she could never be as good as Kou, Moa can act, using disguises or changing her voice. She is also a brilliant liar.
✔ Learning l She learns at an incredible speed, soaking up knowledge like a sponge.


∞ Fears ∞
✘ Needles l The experiments has left her with a strong fear of needles, and she would break down in fright if she even sees one.
✘ Blood l For a supposed 'killing machine' Moa is terrified of blood, and thus cannot bear to see anyone hurt. She always helps heal them even if they were her enemies.
✘ Water l She is worried that she might malfunction under such circumstances, though she was told that she was waterproof.


∞ Flaws ∞
✘ Sleep l She literally sleeps wherever she wants to, even if its immediately after a battle. Even when she's awake, she's only half-conscious, always yawning, and only appears fully alert when in battle.
✘ Trust l She is a little too trusting of people, always believing that they wouldn't do her any harm.
✘ Quiet l Moa hardly speaks, only adding in something when she is required to, but remains silent most of the time.

∞ Abilities ∞
Weaponised limbs[/b]
Her ability allows her to make machine parts come out of her arms and legs. It's a very confusing ability, but Moa learned quickly, and controls all the changed body parts like they were her normal ones. She has several weapons built into her, so she can control which one comes out. Some of them are a sniper rifle, a machine guns, a bazooka, a laser shooter, and several other big guns that would put armies to shame. Having guns has also given Moa a freedom to advance her weapons, and she sometimes builds in new things like a condensed milk squirter or a water gun for fun.

Regeneration
Well, not exactly. Moa 'regenerates' by fixing her weapons, before turning them back into her hands again. Even if her arm was cut off, as long as she could make another gun in the place of it, she could regenerate her arm back. However, a downside to it is that the high technology will be replaced with basic one until it 'grows' back, but the least she could do is maintain a normal appearance.

Hardened body
Having weapons that can come out any time gave Moa a hardened body and defences. Her strength in her arms and legs has also increased, so she could run faster or lift heavier objects despite her fragile look.
[/font]

∞ Personality ∞
Moa is a sweet and kind girl, always wearing a slight smile on her face and ever ready to help. In fact, her only flaw is that she could fall asleep in any condition, no matter where she is. In fact, that often got her teacher annoyed during her trainings, but its hard to stay mad at her as she always apologised meekly after that, and never once got bad grades. She always keeps up her good behaviour as she just has a natural flair for learning and taking in information, and that helped her in using her powers to their potential. She has a tendency for mischief too, often scaring her friends but making a realistic looking pistol come out and squirting water at them, but her jokes are always harmless, and she makes sure that nothing big comes out of them.

Always optimistic, there's hardly a time when you could see her sad, but even then its just a quick flash in her eyes. She knew fully well that she must keep the pain and sadness in, as the smile is probably her only protection now.

Most of the time, Moa will simply stay indoors and read, hardly socialising or finding the need to, but she loves to have friends and appreciates them. However, she is often taken advantage of as she trusts too easily

∞ Romantic Interest ∞
TBD

∞ History ∞
Moa lived a pretty normal life in a small town Hiruna on the beautiful planet Artemis, and was loved by everyone who knew her. All she ever wanted to do was to spend the rest of her life there, just wandering about the meandering streets lazily, or dozing off in the sunshine with her friends. In all, her life was pretty much perfect until the government came. They took young Moa when she was ten, bringing her into a training facility where she trained with several others, and installed her powers within her. Though Moa found it confusing as to why they had to have powers, she followed without complaint, always optimistic about what will happen. It was them when she found out the creature called a 'rabbit' on earth, and loved it immediately, often found dozing off with a pile of books about them beside her at the library.

Of course, it didn't take long for them to send the trainees to earth. Due to the fast rate that she was learning, Moa was taken to earth when she was 14, with several others, and she was overjoyed at the thought of finally meeting the rabbit creature she loved so much. What she didn't expect was that the ship was shot down before they even touched down. As the debris fell all around her, she was confused and frightened, not knowing what happened as her team mates vanished from her sight. Even when they tried to subdue her, she refused to hurt them, stubbornly believing that they didn't mean to hurt her.

They caught her without any problems and brought her to Area 51, where she was put in a room and conducted tests on. She hated the tests immensely, as because of her powers, her skin and flesh has became hardened, and it was hard for them to take a blood sample. They had to find the correct vein too, and if the needle didn't go in immediately, they simply stabbed her again and again, not caring about her as she wasn't one of the humans. Moa had to endure the pain each day, causing her arms to become black and blue, covered with bruises from the failed attempts of the needles, and when they had to put tubes in several parts of her body the pain was sometimes too much for her to bear, and she would silently cry herself to sleep each night, her body covered in wounds. There were countless times when she just wanted to end it all, but she always kept looking on, forcing a smile on her face even in the worst situations.

Earlier....
The little black kitten on the floor licked its paws, grooming itself for the day to come. If only it knew that it wouldn't live past the morning. Kou stood opposite of the small animal, it had been given to her nearly a month ago because the therapist thought it would help her sleep so she wouldn't go insane and it had, but now.... They wanted her to kill it. "If you don't do it, you will stay here while your friends all go back to Artemis!" Tears welled in the aberration's eyes at the thought of getting left behind, of staying in Area 51.

Her bones snapped and reformed, a scream crawled out of her throat and pierced the air, startling the kitten and making it run into the corner. No longer in human form, Kou was now a cheetah and in one elegant, swift motion she caught the little animal in her mouth. Snap! The sound and the taste of blood dripping into her throat and onto her clothes became overwhelming and in one fell swoop she changed back, hugging the animal to her chest and dissolving into tears. For a while the only sound in the small, glass, observation room was that of her wails.

It was a few minutes later that the doctor came in, Kou didn't bother to move, she felt drained of energy and didn't protest when he pushed her black locks aside and stuck the needle in her neck, pushing down on the plunger to empty the contents of the syringe. Her mind went fuzzy, the world turning sideways. That's weird, wasn't it right side up before? She thought and slipped into darkness.

When Kou arose the sound of a motor filled her ears. Nausea overwhelmed her and she looked around for a trash can before vomiting. "It's okay, it's a side affect of the medicine." An armed guard sat next to her, his gun in hand. Kou sat up and wiped her mouth, the smell of spew thick in the air. She turned her head away and looking out the window, her cheeks flushing red with embarrassment. Her jaw dropped, her glowing blue eyes widening with awe. The desert of Area 51 had been replaced by trees and grass, they were driving on a beautifully paved road up to a large, wrought iron black gate that had a guard tower. Tucked away behind trees and a fantastic garden was a three floor brownstone. The SUV pulled into the driveway, the last of the cars to arrive and as soon as the driver unlocked the door, Kou spilled out of the vehicle and pulled off the white socks adorning her feet. She ran to the garden, sliding into the grass under a large willow tree. Once more tears spilled from her eyes as Kou breathed in the scent of freshly laid sod. It was the Earth she had always imagined, if only they had gotten to see this before they were taken into custody by the American government.

Mako was the first to arrive, he had been up for hours waiting to reach their new temporary home. The boy ran a hand through his orange hair as he spun in a circle in the garden, lingering for the others to get here. He couldn't remember much, the past year was awfully fuzzy and he believed that most of it was some strange dream. "Why don't you go inside?" The guard that had escorted him to Pennsylvania suggested but Makoto shook his head. "I want to hang out here for them." He replied and sat down on the tar driveway. One by one the cars appeared from behind the bend and through the gate. His smile grew with each emergence from the SUV's. Finally the last one came and he watched as Kou ran straight to the grass. What should he say? Makoto wondered, hello? Nice to see you? Long time no see?

None of those seemed right. "Looks like the gangs back together!" He settled for, probably not the best thing to say considering what they all went through, but since the last thing Mako could recall was crashing on Earth he figured they could use a little lightheartedness.

Before anyone could respond Mako walked over to Kou and picked her up, deciding that it would be best if they went inside. From the looks of the clouds (he had taken a liking to weather studies during training) it appeared as though it was about to pour. "Shall we go inside?" They were also all wearing white and it would be very embarrassing when the rain fell and their clothes became see through.

Xena had stayed up all night with the exception of a few minor moments of sleep when she couldn't help but doze off though she would soon after be awoken by the bumpy ride in the earth vehicle. She had gotten three to four hours of sleep, tops. Xena wasn't all that excited to be moving to a new location though the way they transported her and the other Extraterrestrials, reminded her of back home on Artemis when she was transported to a maximum prison facility. The trip to earth had been horrible; they were shot down, taken into custody as criminals, and were used as test dummy's. Xena wasn't sure what kind of torture the others had gone through but she figured they all went through the same thing. She never really brought up what was done to her in Area 51 but then again she never really brought up much in a conversation and she was sure everyone would rather forget the days in that place than reminisce on their past pain.

Xena snapped out of her rambled thoughts as the vehicle slowly pulled to a stop. The guard sitting in the front seat got out of the vehicle and made his way around to open the side door for her. Xena was nudged lightly by the guard sitting next to her which signaled her to get out. The pink haired alien stepped onto the cold green grass wearing a pristine white shirt with matching white shorts. The earth felt good against her feet which made a shiver run up her body. Looking around, Xena was the second one to arrive with Makoto being the first. The guard escorted her to the front lawn where Makoto had been. She said her thank you's to the guard that had been escorting her as he departed back to the vehicle. Xena didn't think there was anything necessary to say to Makoto so she stayed silent as she squatted to the ground and wrapped one arm around her knees while her other hand ran through the grass. She busied herself by plucking the thin, slightly wet grass and by watching the small bug life beneath her.




One by one, everyone began to show up with Kou being the last of them to arrive. Xena would look up now and then to watch the others and to see who would step out of the next SUV. She watched Kou be whisked away by the arms of Makoto once Kou had arrived. The orange haired male was nice, Xena thought he was only acting so cheerful for the sake of the others and was especially worried about Kou. She was the youngest after all. The pink haired girl looked up at the sky, the once clear blue sky was forming lightly grey clouds. Xena picked herself up off the green grassy land and followed everyone else to the inside of their new home.

Entering the new home, Xena let her hands glide against the wood, the wall, and the plastered paint. She observed the walls and the furniture that had been set out in the living area. It was cozier than what the earthlings had presented them before in Area 51. Xena sniffed the air a bit as she smelled something unfamiliar. She didn't know what to make of it though it didn't smell bad but not good either. She followed the scent which led her to the kitchen where a human male was. She paused for a moment before entering the kitchen and spoke softly. "...Vena likes this place." She was hesitant at first but Vena had been in her head the whole night and it sort of slipped out of her mouth.

Bosco tried to ignore the bumps... It was a long drive, and he had woken up about three quarters of the way through the trip. He was sitting in a folding chair that had been bolted to the flooring of the trailer. His eyes staring at the shackled on his wrists. He knew they could hold him, but should they be broken, something very painful would happen to the explosive lined truck in attempt to bring him down quickly. Fair enough... this trip would have been the perfect trip to have escaped, and nobody wanted a giant running around. That was kind of hard to hide. And seeing as nobody wanted to ride in close quarters with him, he was stuck all alone in the back of the semi-truck. Which was good because he didn't want to see any more of them.

Escape was not what Bosco was thinking of though... If he was being returned to Artemis, then all fleeing was was pointless. And these chains, they were about to be released. And soon enough they were. The truck stopped in the driveway, and when the back was raised, two men came in to unbind him and help him out. As it seemed, he was the third one here. Rubbing his wrists, he looked out to the driveway.

So this was earth... He remembered it being a little bit dryer where they landed. But the cold would feel nice. When he saw Mako and Xena, he felt a sense of relief, to be able to see his friends again. They were alive. And as they all arrived one by one, it was good to see everyone. Even August, damn him. Bosco sniffled a little bit, they were almost back home, he kept it back tough. But he was just so happy to be out of there... At least this prison didn't look like a prison.

When Mako suggested about going inside, Bosco nodded,"Might as well... Do you smell that?" He asked. He didn't eactly know what it was, but it smelled good. And made him hungry. They didn't exactly stop by a Burger King on the way here... He shook his head to try not to think about it too much, he didn't exactly see why the humans would suddenly change the treatment of them now. He went to the door, following in behind Xena. It looked comfortable...

Moa looked out of the window bearilty as the earth vehicle – the “truck” thing bounce across the uneven dirt roads, her eyes half shut, stilfling a silent yawn. She shifted her position slowly, lazily lifting her hand, as she felt the atmosphere in there change immediately, the scientists tensing up, seemingly preparing for an attack. Letting out a sigh, she placed it down again, pouting slightly at the heaviness of the atmosphere. It was too… serious. She felt as if it was crushing her, but of course, having the ability to turn your limbs into weapons doesn’t really help lighten the mood. she yawned once again, and she would have fallen asleep if it had not reached the camp first. Her light red eyes brightened slightly as she stepped gingerly out, looking at her surroundings in awe. That was earth in all its beauty, the planet that they had learned so much about, the very same planet she anticipated so much to go to. She suppressed the urge to hug the nearest tree but instead just stood there, taking it all in. It had been a while since she felt so genuinely at peace and happy, and she wanted to stay that way for as long as possible.


She only shifted from her position when Mako walked out, picking Kou up. She moved toward the group, hanging behind most of them but Making bigger strides to keep a steady pace with Makoto as he suggested going into the house. “Sure, why not?” She said, turning to him and greeting him with a smile, before heading into the house, watching as Xena stroked the plaster and remarking that Vena liked it too. She frowned slightly, catching up with her as she asked “Is she bothering you?” a little worried, before almost immediately perking up. “Is that omelettes I smell?” She was kind of hungry after all, and the smell was heavenly. She strolled toward the kitchen and opened the door, looking at the man in side. He was a human. She took half a step backward, half hiding behind the door, but she gave him an almost apologetic smile. She was not sorry at all though, who knows what the man will actually do to them, despite looking very harmless now. Well, unless he’s planning to attack them with a spatula… you’ll never know humans. Still, she asked softly “Are those for us?”, looking toward the man.

Sliding the seventh one off the pan and onto a spare plate, he had just turned to grab for the large box of eggs when the door behind him opened. In truth, he had nearly jumped in surprise as he hadn't expected any of them to come to the kitchen first given the size of the place, but it seems something was shared by both races, the smell of food tended to bring in guest. The first one to come wasn't the one he thought it would be, Xena Kinch. She looked exactly as her picture did, same clothes, same blank look upon her face, and the same... startling crimson eyes. When he had first seen her picture, he had thought it had been a camera glare, but it looks like he was wrong that was just her natural eye color. Vena? No, he had to have misheard her. She was Xena, not Vena. A simply mistake on his part.

"I like it too," Xavier's deep green eyes flashing with amusement and interest to know that one of them seemed to share his love of the kitchen. Of course, they could have just liked the color or feel of the room, but at this moment, he would happily take what he could get. Whatever he was about to say was cut off by yet another one of them appearing, Bosco, Xaviers mind instantly put the face to the picture. He was... smaller then he expected, but that could easily change. Whatever awkward silence would have passed in the kitchen as neither of them seemed willing to move just yet was dashed by a very small girl coming into the kitchen.

Moa Willow, she seemed so... tiny. None of them seemed particularly large, all being under 6' easily, but she seemed especially tiny. She looked like she barely came up to his naval, and it caused a few images to flicker behind his eyes, images he tried not to remember. Her question snapped him out of his nightmare induced nostalgia, and he offered a shrug, "I had planned on eating all nine of them by myself, but I suppose I could share," he said motioning to the seven finished plates to his left.

Xavier let his eyes run over the three of them again, "Feel free to pick whichever you want, if you want, you can pick the one you want me to eat as well," he offered as he knew standard procedure in... institutions that they had just left was to drug their food. It was the best way he could prove he didn't drug their food, he doubted they knew it, but their physiology was close enough that any drug that would work on them would, more then likely, work on him as well.

"There is extra bacon over there," He said pointing over to his right to a plate with bacon piled on top of the paper towel he had covered the plate with, "If you want some, also there should be some juice and what not in the fridge. Take what you want."

With that done, he had to admit it had shaken his nerves, he went back to cooking to distract himself as dancing foot to foot seeing what they would do was not really something he wanted to go through. Grabbing the small cup he had been using, he cracked two eggs into it and began to mix the egg up inside the little cup before pouring it into the empty pan.

Strange... They're gonna put me to sleep?... The hazy thoughts flowed through her exhausted mind as she sat in the corner of her cell and watched the man in the labcoat come nearer, a familiar looking syringe in hand. It wasn't too common that they came in to put her to sleep, they usually just took her wherever she needed to go awake. She continued to watch the man approach, not moving a muscle and perhaps even looking forward to the chemical induced sleep. As she watched the needle sink into her arm she felt nothing and slowly but surely, her consciousness faded.

She of course had no clue how long she had been out but she woke feeling rather uncomfortable, her back and neck felt stiff and a bit sore. The reason for this soon become clear as her bleary eyes blinked open and took in the dim interior of the Earth vehicle she found herself in. There was an armed guard sitting not far from her that turned to her with a raised brow, Aika in response blinked at him and mumbled, "Mm, good morning..." The man simply shook his head and looked away towards the front of the car and Aika shrugged, wondering if that was the correct saying here on Earth before stretching her limbs, still feeling incredibly lethargic under the effects of the injection from earlier.

The trip went on for quite a few more hours and as the drug's effects began to wear off a bit of excitement began to well up inside of the girl. Her eyes were glued to the windows as she watched the drastically changed scenery pass them by. This looked much more like what she had read about so long ago. During the trip she made several efforts to speak with the guard that sat nearby but it seemed either he had no desire to speak or was ordered not to and when it finally seemed that Aika was beginning to get on his nerves she gave up, resigning herself to simply staring out the window.

Finally they entered an estate and came to a slow stop. Aika quickly looked over to the nearby guard who opened the door at his side, stepped out, and motioned for Ai to exit as well. Without a moment of hesitation Ai quickly stumbled out of the car, her eyes darting this way and that, overwhelmed at the scenery around her as she tried to take it all in. As she glanced around she noticed the others, most of them were here and behind her she could already tell another car was coming, likely carrying the last of them. It all hit Aika rather suddenly, the urge to cry right then and there nearly overtook her but she remained strong and shook her head to fight away the feeling.

As she thought, it wasn't long after her arrival that the whole group was collected, several of them headed inside for fear of the imminent rain that brewed in the dark clouds overhead. Aika however hesitated outside the front door and placed a hand on its frame as she stared back towards the gates through which they had come. This was place was undoubtedly a prison, a place to keep them in and others out, but at the very least it felt more humane. Relief washed over her and made her knees weak as she prayed out to who or whatever might listen, Please let this be real... Not some sick trick or experiment... I just want us to be treated like people...

Pushing her dark doubts out of mind she took a deep breath and headed inside. It seemed several of the others were following the source of a rather delectable scent which unsurprisingly lead to a kitchen of sorts. And there she saw the human man Xavier for the first time, he was preparing and handing out food apparently for the lot of them. Spending a brief moment to clear her throat and compose herself as best she could in her patient's clothes, she approached the human man and spoke. "Ah, hello... I'm sure you're already aware but I'm Aika, Aika Vesan." She held her hand out towards the man, hoping this was the correct greeting for wherever they were in the world currently.

With a sidelong glance towards the dining table and the others she continued, "Would we happen to have any changes of clothing available to us?... I think it would be appropriate for us to change and at least wash our hands before we eat... These... 'clothes' aren't really that proper and our cells were certainly not very clean." Though she tried to resist she couldn't help but steal a glance at the nearby food before refocusing herself upon the tall man before her, it looked and smelled delicious but now wasn't quite the time.

Kou hopped out of Makoto's arms almost as soon as they went inside and turned in a circle, marveling at the size of the space. She felt a bit intimidated by all the room and freedom they suddenly had and wasn't sure whether or not this was a good thing. Her whole life up to now had been controlled by people and when she finally had the power to chose Kou decided on following her stomach; quite literally though, she followed everyone into the kitchen where there was food and a man in a pink flowery apron. Kou took a step back, but the growling in her stomach egged her on towards the beautiful yellow omelets that were oozing with foreign ingredients. "There's no time for washing up Aika, not when there's food." Kou chose the seat farthest from where the human was standing and picked up the fork, digging right in and stuffing her mouth with flavors that danced on her tongue. Her eyes sparkled in delight and she swallowed another bite before turning to the human and exclaiming, "This is really good!" She didn't bother with formalities such as introducing herself or asking for his name.

"Would we happen to have any changes of clothing available to us?... I think it would be appropriate for us to change and at least wash our hands before we eat... These... 'clothes' aren't really that proper and our cells were certainly not very clean."

If he was here he most likely knew who they all were and had read all about them before their arrival. They wouldn't throw some poor human into this unprepared, or maybe they would, Kou had only seen apathetic and cruel humans so far. She turned back to her food and finished the omelet off pretty quickly. There had been no breakfast before she left and it was well past lunch time and Kou was still superbly hungry. "Can I have another one?" The petite female inquired to the mortal, lifting the glass plate up ever so slightly to display the fact that it was now bare. For such a small thing, her appetite certainly was large.

"Now there's an idea! A change of clothes would be nice. White really doesn't suit me. Better yet, they could give us back the clothes we had with us in the first place. Oh! Do we pick our own rooms? I've never had my own room, well unless you count the cell I was in, but that wasn't much of a bedroom."

"If we have to share can I share with Mao?" Kou glanced at the girl, the two were the closest in age and Kou really liked Mao.

Rather then follow everyone to the kitchen, Makoto had decided to explore a bit and had gotten as far as the top of the staircase before he decided to go back down. Like the others, his stomach led him and he followed his zeal to the large kitchen and beautiful mahogany table where the others were gathered. Not wanting to interrupt the conversation, he stood beside Bosco and crossed his arms, looking around at everything from the chandelier to the plates lined with food and crispy bacon waiting for them. "Pretty weird right?" He enjoined the male beside him as he watched the others surround the human and pepper him with questions.

"One day you're locked up for being an aberration, the next you're free." Makoto didn't fall for it, he wasn't sure he trusted the human, Xavier he believed someone mentioned on his way here, just yet. Though the man certainly appeared trustworthy at a first glance (then again everyone did) there was something about him that wasn't quite... Right.

Xavier turned back around after closing the last omelet to face yet another new arrival into the kitchen. It seemed his instinct to cook had been the right one. One look at her told him who she was, Aika Vesan. She looked a little different then from her photo, more alive, there was a light in her eyes that was missing from her photo, but given the situation was that really surprising? But what was surprising was she stuck out her hand to him. He paused for a moment, more from shock then anything else, before he half-turned back to set the spatula down on the counter ignoring the small bits of grease that fell and hit the counter. He would have to clean it anyways.

Turning back to face Aika, he wrapped her hand in his own. Her hand was small and warm, he didn't know what he was expecting, but perhaps it was due to his own nerves at meeting them all that caused that spark of electricity running down his spine, but he ignored the odd sensation and let the corner of his lip twist up, "I did already know, but it is a pleasure anyways. I am Xavier Wilson," giving her hand one gently shake

Past her red hair, he spotted another figure slip in. August. Yes, he knew enough about him to be worried about his mental state, and he would be lying if Xavier said he wasn't wary of him more then the others. "That is fine, you don't have to eat it. I shall try and figure out what you do like and make it in the future," he said with a shrug as some people liked what they liked. Not much he could do about it. Given the sheer amount of different types of foods in the world, he had to like something. Plus it provided a unique challenge and distraction.

Xavier snapped his attention back to Aika who was asking about clothes when he realized he was still holding her hand, his mind having been occupied by the sudden appearance of August. Letting go, he nodded to show he understood and to cover for his lasp in thought, "I understand, if you take a left when you leave the kitchen and go up the stairs, the rooms are down the hallway. There is a paper with each of your names on the doors, I asked them to give you proper clothing, so hopefully they listened. Feel free to trade rooms. Mine is at the very end," He paused as if just remembering something, "I would also suggest changing in one of the bathrooms unless you like to be watched."

Well, sure they could change in front of the cameras if they desired to spite them or enjoyed it, but this would give them a choice in the matter something they had been lacking. He needed to give them structure but also personal freedom that and there was no reason they, or he, needed to see them change. The lack of cameras in bathrooms was by his request, and he spent an hour checking the bathrooms to be sure. He didn't need some tech spying on him and them while they were using the bathroom.

So lost in his thought, he didn't notice the other two come in. Makoto and Kou, they seemed close. He wasn't sure how close, but he would have to figure it out sooner or later. He was fairly sure his boss would frown on him if he allowed one of them to get pregnant under his watch. Another reason he much preferred kids to teenagers.

"If you want to share you certainly can as long as it is same sex," he said to cover his bases, movingly slowly he gently took her plate, "Sure, I don't mind making another," placing the plate back on the counter, he took off the omelet that had finished as they were talking and slid it on the plate before handing it back, "Glad you like it. Rebuilding my ego after August so masterfully destroyed it."

Antos had not been fond of the sedation process. And, much to his distaste, his complaints had been ignored, as were his suggestions of what he thought to be better ways of knocking a patient out. "You're really using that formula? You know, this would work out better." It was safe to say that none of the workers were too sad when his consciousness was snuffed out.

However, it didn't keep him down for the whole ride. The drive from Area 51 to wherever they were heading was no short venture, and he awoke before they arrived. He felt… dazed. Of course, that was to be expected, as he had been drugged. But it didn't mean that he had to like the sensation. It took a moment for reality to sink in, as did his splitting headache. He'd never been much of a fan of long travels. Artemis to Earth had been a pain in the back, but he had not, at least, been injected with anything before taking off on that ride.

As his first order of business, his hands started moving to his head, ready to try and soothe the annoyingness of his pain. Before he could do so, his hands were snagged back down by a bond that held them together in his lap. Antos closed his eyes, allowing his wrists catch fire, careful to do so quietly as to not alert his escorts. His charred restraints fell from his hands, freeing him. He allowed the tongues of flames to lick over his hands, the sensation bringing an odd comfort to him. It did not hurt as badly as one might have thought. Most forgot that he had spent years of his childhood getting used to the pain of being alight. Now, as long as his whole body was not covered, it had been reduced to some major discomfort. But, the pain was appreciated. It reminded him that he was still alive to feel it, something to be quite happy about.

In the brief moments he was using his ability, he considered burning the entirety of the car and its occupants. He wasn't sure he trusted his ability enough to do so or his physique to get away fast enough. However, the thought was stopped completely when his escorts asked one another if they smelled barbecue, Antos promptly killing his flames.

It did not take much longer for them to reach their destination. The majority of Antos's time had been spent glued to the window. The ecosystem was vastly different wherever they were than it had been back in Area 51. Oh, how the alien longed to study the vegetation outside. Just think of what he could learn!

However, before he could beg the driver to pull over and let him observe some trees, the car came to a screeching halt. His guards came around the back to let him out, questioning him about what had happened to his restraints. He merely hopped out, apologizing half-heartedly, and gaping at the view. The house was... fantastic! Gardens full of plants he had never seen paired with a livelier atmosphere than he'd seen on Earth before.

Most of the gang was there as well, and he was so excited that he could kiss them all! No... not really... but the overstatement wasn't too drastic. He gave them all curt nods before going off to observe the garden. But, his attention snapped back to the others when the last car arrived, Kou emerging. He let out an audible sigh of relief. Everyone was okay. Things were alright.

Antos followed inside, sad to part with the outside world, but eager to see his new living quarters. The smell was too enticing for him to part from. And, once inside, his big brown eyes caught ahold of the food upon the table. However, he took note of the human man who had fixed it, slightly weary of him. Antos's mind dreampt up all the possibilities there were. The food might be poisoned! But he shot down his thought quickly, as they could have been killed at any point. Why now? Besides, the man had offered to eat the food and let them choose which one he got. Unless he had built up immunity to the poison...

Stop being paranoid, he hissed at himself, internally. Without any more hesitation, he grabbed a piece of bacon and bit down. It had been a while since he had eaten a good meal, and so the food was much appreciated.

Change of clothes. Now that was a topic he was eager to jump on! He was certainly not dressed to his standards, his inner fashion sense despising the plain white outfit. And, lodging was an issue as well. If they were rooming, he merely prayed that he didn't get put with August ("Manipulative d-bag..."). As soon as he found they were free to take their own rooms, his nerves eased, although his relief was short lived. Cameras in their rooms? It was to be expected, he supposed, and he hopes that his friends would refrain from sleeping in the nude.

However, he figured that he'd probably been viewed without clothes by scientists as some point. The thought made him blush tremendously, and he quickly tried to hide his face so that the others didn't think that he was thinking about unclean, porn-ish things. Although he hadn't even said anything to his companions, he turned to leave the kitchen, ready to go and claim a room.

Bosco was a little to hungry to worry about changing or washing his hands... Though now that Aika mentioned it, he could only imagine all of the kinds of terrible germs the planet of earth had to have. Well, he hadn't caught any sniffles yet so surely it wasn't that bad here regarding germs, and apparent physiology between them seemed to be similar enough. Though as talk of the food began regarding doubts of being drugged or poisoned, he thought it was a useless display as maybe this Xavier guy could have poisoned all of it and taken an antidote for himself... okay. Maybe that was a little imaginative. It did seem kind of overdone to let them here only to drug them when it would have been easier just to have kept them all drugged.

He plucked at his white clothes, it didn't matter much to him. Yes, they were painfully relevant to what had happened. But so would any earth clothes. Though earth clothes would still be a welcome change over white. He did doubt that their original clothes were still around. Likely having suffered the same dissection and abuse that the humans seemed to do to anything foreign and strange.

Looking over to Mako, he gave him an uneasy smile,"Not that weird... They got want they wanted from us, this very well could be a tactic of hollow persuasion to get us to further go along with what they want. Or maybe even a stick and carrot approach." He said, not trying hard to hide the suspicion on his mind. But he patted Mako on the back, right now was a time for reunion. Plotting could come later.

"But it is still better than THAT place. And there is food. Sorry Aika... But I would really like to eat it while it is hot." He said. That and he was starting to get afraid that Kou might eat it all. And moved to the table beside Antos where he picked at his food. Specifically the stuff the humans called bacon. Which Bosco thought tasted like magic. "You okay?" He asked as he watche d him take on a strange look, but only to watch him go about his way. Hungrily eating the rest of the food down his throat. He enjoyed it, very much so.

Antos seemed to have the right idea though. Not regarding the being looked at clothless... that would not be pleasant to think about. Or what they did to them in such a state. But the going to claim a room idea. Looking back over his shoulder before he continued, he spoke to Xavier,"Will there be more food later?" Not too eager to leave this food, but did want to change. It also might give an idea as to what Xavier had in mind for later. He would later need to inquire as to what rules this place had...

Xena nodded her head lightly at the grown human male, who was wearing a flowery apron, after he had complimented the place too. She wasn't much of a talker so silence once again crowded her but with a bunch of very lively people around it didn't take long for that silence to pass. Xena looked down at Moa as the girl started to worry for her though it wasn't very much necessary. Vena had been much better ever since they left Area 51. It was still sweet though that the girl worried for her which meant she cared and Xena thought that was a nice feeling. The pink haired alien knew that most of the others cared about each others safety, especially Ai who was like a mother to the group and the feeling of someone looking out for you was pleasant though the feeling was also quite foreign to Xena.

The kitchen area was soon flooded by the extraterrestrials who had just been transported here. Ai was proving her mother hen role as she took it upon herself to discuss some matters with the human male. Ai was often looked at as a leader or mother to the grop or at least that's what Xena always thought about the girl and admired her for her leadership skills. The pinked haired alien's attention was averted away from Ai and to the food set out on the table as August noted that she could take his share. She went to the table and picked at an omelette that hadn't already been eaten and ate a tiny bit. It was surprisingly good though you would think most food is good too when your locked up in a cell on Artemis and then transported to earth but only to be locked up in another cell. In short, cells always equaled bad food. Xena glanced at August as she spoke in a formal matter though everyone was used to her monotone and formal nature by now, "Thank you for the donation. I will not waste this food." She picked up his pushed away plate and scraped most of the food onto her plate. By the looks of it though, Xena wasn't the only one wishing for seconds this time.

As rooms were brought up, Xena took interest as she picked and ate the food given to her. She was usually a fast eater but right now she was to caught up in everyone else's interactions. Her ears perked up as Kou noted that she would like to be roomed with Moa if that was what they were doing. The human man, Xavier if she recalled the name correctly, noted that everyone had their own rooms but they could share as long as it was same sex. Xena liked the idea of sharing a room with someone, otherwise Vena would cloud her thoughts and Xena found that it was most easy to quiet Vena down by focusing on others rather than herself. The pink haired alien lightly tugged on the lower back part of Ai's shirt to get the girl's attention. "May we share a room together, please." She was hesitent on speaking again but she felt like Ai would say no if she didn't give good reasoning. "...Vena is much quieter with others around me, especially to those I consider myself comfortable around." After finishing her sentence she let her hand fall to her side. Of course, Xena felt comfortable around Ai. Actually, it was pretty much safe to say that she felt safe around Ai the most. The red headed girl was the oldest and acted as a strong mother figure to the group which would calm most though Xena depicted her as a leader more since her experiences with her mother weren't all that great. Xena never had a good mother figure but Ai would definitely come closest to that.

Moa gave the man a quizzical look as he told them that they could choose the ones they wanted to eat and want him to eat. It was not like he would poison them… would he? She was pulled out of her contemplation whether it was more effective for them to drug them as Aika arrived, shaking the man’s hand while introducing herself, while asking for a change of clothes. That was just like the ‘mother’ of their group, Aika was probably the most mature of them all, always thinking of their welfare.

She really wanted to be like her someday…if only. She looked at the door as she heard August come in, sprouting many questions at one time, but moved to sit next to Kou as Makoto entered carrying her. She took a few small bites of her food, absent-mindedly listening to the conversation around her, going into the half-concious state she was always in, dreamily listening as Xavier told them about their clothes. She must remember to find a pillow soon. Her stay on earth was making her jittery and the hard floors of her cell didn’t help sleeping matters. What she would give to find something soft…

"If we have to share can I share with Moa?"

her head jerked upright as she heard the words, giving Kou a small smile of assent as the man explained that they had separate rooms but could choose to room with each other as long as they are the same sex. She liked Kou the best of all of the group anyways, and would love to know her better if she was given the chance. “Ok, then Aika and Xena will share then?” She asked, hopping off her seat and onto the floor, while giving her now empty plate to ‘Xavier’ as the man said.

“Want to go pick our room then?” She asked, looking toward Kou as she headed toward the door. But first, she was probably going to get her clothes and change, the white uniforms were feeling very uncomfortable and she never liked the harsh antiseptic scent anyway. Maybe she could pick up a pillow when she reached the rooms…

“Oh!” she stopped as she reached the door, about to open it. “My name is Moa, if you didn’t know, but you could call me Bunny if you like.” With that, she finished her introduction and walked down to find her room, after Antos.

Kou polished off the second omelet just as quickly and sat back with a sigh of content. She looked over at Moa as the girl addressed her and nodded her head. "I wonder if we get beds?" She thought aloud and followed Moa out of the room, but not before thanking the human (had he said his name was Xavier?) for the food.

Up the staircase she went, her eyes wandering to every little detail that adorned the banister and the etchings in the wood. They finished traveling when she reached the third door on the right side with her name tapped onto the white washed entrance. It was across from Bosco and in between Aika and Xena. She was hesitant to open the door, afraid of what could be inside. A normal bedroom? Some sort of test? Slowly Kou turned the brass knob, wincing as the hinges creaked to reveal a cozy sized bedroom with walls painted the color of the sky. A white desk stood under an open window with lace curtains that wafted with the breeze. Tucked away in the corner under a clear canopy was a bed, a real bed with an actual mattress and sheets that weren't white and starchy; it was big too, too big and it made Kou feel a bit lonely when she sat down among the pillows and silk covering.

"Why?" Kou questioned no one. "Why all this? Why now?" It made her mad really, that they had suffered so much and now they were getting beds and clothes and real food. Was it because they were so damaged that they needed a nurturing environment to heal? Was it bribery? "I'm sorry," She turned to Moa and rubbed her eyes to keep tears from spilling. "Sometimes I just get so overwhelmed."

She clambered off of the mattress and moved away from the bed, deciding whether or not she should leave the room. Something poking out of the desk drawer caught her attention and Kou made her way over. A sheet of stickers poking out between a pile of books, they were all human children's fables, but Kou had no interest in them. Fish, they were fish stickers.

It was enough to make her cry and Kou desperately attempted to hold herself together. Where she lived on Artemis, fish didn't swim in water like on earth, they traveled by air like birds. She didn't know where they came from or why they put them in here, but Kou decided to arrange them on the wall next to the bed in an attempt to make the space feel more like home.

Aika was pleased to hear everything the man Xavier had to say in response to her questions and it seemed that her gesture had been the correct one. She gave a nod in the man's direction, a small but relieved smile spreading across her lips as any awkwardness in the lingering handshake would be quite lost on the alien. With a shake of her head she looked over at the table which was slowly but steadily filling as the others piled in and began eating despite Ai's recommendation, she could hardly blame them though and it wasn't something to get upset over. She gave a shrug as she looked back in Xavier's direction, "Well, it's not like they haven't already seen anything they could have wanted of us... But I'll keep that in mind."

Her gaze once again drifted over to the others at the table, most all of them were there now. She couldn't help but smile being reunited with them all, seeing them talking to each other and eating in an almost normal way again, it felt like it had been so long. After running a hand through her red locks and exhaling a deep breath, she was just about to leave the kitchen and head upstairs when she felt a tug at her shirt. When she looked, she discovered the culprit was Xena. Curiously she tilted her head at the pink-haired girl as she began to speak her quiet request.

"May we share a room together, please... Vena is much quieter with others around me, especially to those I consider myself comfortable around."

Ai blinked having not quite expected that. She could hardly deny such a request especially if what Xena had just said was true, keeping Vena quiet was something Aika thought to be very important. The second part of her statement made Ai smile, it was always hard to read Xena so hearing that she was comforted by Aika's presence felt nice. And of course, though she'd never admit it, Ai was relieved at the idea of having someone else around like that, she was certainly capable of spending her nights and days alone like she had for so long in those cells but in reality the alternative sounded much nicer to her. Naturally, there was another not quite so innocent reason that she felt inclined to accept, but she pushed that thought aside for the moment as she nodded to the pink-haired girl.

"Sure... I'd be happy to share rooms with you." She gave Xena a smile and glanced briefly around the table, apparently Moa and Kou would share rooms as well as they fled the kitchen and went upstairs. With her attention moved back to Xena she continued, "I'm gonna go ahead upstairs and pick out a room and get changed, maybe bathe too... If you want to keep eating feel free to stay, or if you wanna help pick the room out you can come with me." Her warm smile persisted as she received whichever response the girl gave and made her way out of the kitchen/dining room area and towards the stairs. She moved slowly, not wanting to leave Xena behind and so that she could better take in the finer details of the prison-home they would be staying in.

Its design was well, alien, and quite unlike most of what she remembered of her home on Artemis. Despite this it didn't feel too strange to her, it felt a bit warm and welcoming despite the knowledge of the true purpose this place held for them. There was a certain quality to it that distinctly reminded her of a home, though perhaps it was just that her senses had been warped from her extended time in a dark cell. That didn't matter much to her though, in the end she actually felt happy to be in this place and for now, that was enough. There were certain to be new tribulations awaiting them in the days, weeks, or months to come, she couldn't imagine everything would just be fine from here on out, but for now she simply didn't want to think about those things, she wanted to be glad at their reunion in a place where they could feel like real people again.

Lost in her train of thought, Ai found herself at the top of the stairs and facing down a hallway with several doors, each had a name printed on a piece of paper taped to them. If what Xavier said was true they were free to trade rooms, but for now Ai simply eyed over the two doors that read her own name and Xena's, they'd likely end up picking one of these two. Her attention was diverted however as she noticed Kou and Moa at one of the doors as Kou carefully opened it and peeked inside before disappearing into the room a moment later. She decided to let her and Moa be for now, she could check up on them later. Refocusing herself on the task at hand she peered over at the door with Xena's name on it wondering if it would be appropriate for her to just open it, or, if Xena had followed her, what she wanted to do. "Hm..."

The pink haired girl was glad to see that Ai was willing to share a room with her though her facial expression didn't say much for what she felt on the inside. Xena continued to listen as Ai spoke to her. "A bath and a change of clothes sounds wonderful. Uhm..I think I'll come and help pick out a room." Her plate had bits of food left on it so before following Ai out of the kitchen, Xena scooped up what was left on the plate and ate it all in one bite. Wasn't the most lady like thing to do but she hated to see food go to waste. She set her plate in the sink and gave Xavier a proper compliment and thank you before heading out to follow Ai. "Thank you for the food. It was very delicious."

Xena found the red headed girl admiring the details of their new home, well it was still counted as a prison in everyone's opinions but Xena thought it was more comforting to call it a home. She followed right behind Ai and watched the woman get lost in thought of the design on the walls. Xena turned her head away for a moment to look at a painting on the wall as she walked. It was a weird piece of artwork in the girl's opinion but most of the earthling items were weird to her. She would have ran into the wall if not for Ai, she accidently bumped into her which drew her attention to the hallway they were standing in. Xena peaked her head to the side, as she was standing behind the red headed girl, and looked up at her with a curious expression though her monotone voice didn't match her expression well. "I wonder if the rooms are all the same on the inside. Let's go in my room, first, I really wanna see it." Without warning the pink haired girl was already passing by Ai as she grabbed the others hand and dragged her along into the room after opening the door.

It was cozy just as she has imagined it would be. Well more like, how she wished and hoped it to be. The walls were painted with the color of Bicycle Yellow Behr that looked as though it was shining when the sunlight shined through the windows. There was a big bed by one of the windows which the cover matched the color of the walls. The blanket looked really soft and it was a bit patchy like it had been hand sewn by a loving mother and made for her child. Other objects occupied the room such as a wooden desk, a tall wooden dresser, and even a stuffed bear that resided on the bed near the pillows. Xena looked back at Ai as she let go of the girl's hand, finally. "I like the feel of the room. It feels safe and warm..like how a child should feel when around his mother. What do you think, Ai?" The pink haired girl moved to where the bed was and let the front of her body smother into the soft blankets. She let most of her body slip off the bed while her knees rested on the wooden floor and her upper body rested on the warm blankets. She glanced back at Ai as she turned her head slightly. Her hair was tussled around a bit from the friction with the blankets. "This bed is big enough for two people. If we don't have time to put another bed in our room we could just sleep together, huh." Xena spoke as she looked at the red headed girl. She was only trying to make a light hearted joke but she didn't care if Ai took her seriously or not. Sleeping in the same bed with another person wasn't a subject she was shy about. Even if it was a boy she would be sharing the same bed with, it wouldn't faze her. "Do you wanna check out your room now?" Xena didn't lift up her head to speak to Ai properly. She was way to comfortgable to move plus she was sure the girl could hear her clearly.

"There will be more food," Xavier said a little caught off guard by the question. Did they he think this was the only time he was allowed to eat true food while afterwards they had to go back to government issued 'food'? "I will take care of breakfast and dinner, you guys are on your own for lunch, but feel free to raid the fridge and cabinets for whatever you want. I just need to put a call in to some people to get more food. Any of you are free to help me cook," He said turning to put the offered plates to him in the sink. He would rinse them off and put them in the dishwasher later. He doubted any of the would really help him cook as he doubted they knew much about the ingredients in question, but he made to comment, and it wasn't like he could take it back now.

"They probably have seen everything they need to," Xavier agreed with Aika, "But just because they know it is there doesn't give them the right to see it."

Xavier turned his head slightly, there it was again. Vena. No, he had to be mishearing it, or Xena was saying it with a slight lisp. Still it seemed the girls were quick to room together, for desired support? He doubted the boys would be quite so willing to give up their newly found independence. Still, he did not miss that Xena felt comfortable around Aika, he would have to remember that, and he would have to write it in his report.

Bunny? Odd, how did she know about bunnies? Did they have them on their planet? Or did she learn about them from his? He was almost tempted to ask, but she wished to leave. While she wasn't quite as forthcoming as Aika in terms of introductions, he still appreciated that she would say that. Why bunny? Was that what the others called her? Her family? Or was that what the guards called her? Bunny. It fit.

Free to think for a moment, his mind came to a quick halt as he realized he didn't lock his own bedroom door. Reaching into his coat pocket, he pulled out a cigarette from his pack and tucked it into the corner of his mouth. He didn't want to smoke in the kitchen as he doubted they were used to the smell, and he didn't want to potentially ruin their appetite. Stepping out of the kitchen, he pulled out a cheap plastic lighter and flicked it own.

Xavier tucked the light back into his pocket when the smoke was lazily floating in front of his face. Free from the kitchen, he too made his way up the stairs, but not to look at the rooms, he had already had his room set up, now he just needed to enforce his privacy. Walking past the open doors where the four were gathered, he moved closer to his own and looked behind him to make sure no one had decided to stick their heads out before cracking his door open and looking into the dark room for a moment before closing it again and locking it. If he had gone in to check on things, he doubted he would be coming out for a long time.

Sliding the key back into his pocket, he took a drag from his cigarette blowing the air and watching it bounce and float along the surface of the wood. He contemplated telling them his room was off-limits, but the locked door should be enough to tell them that. Which reminded him, it was time for a check in.

Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out his cellphone and cycled through the contacts until he came to one listed simply as 'Work'. Pushing it in, he went through the standard process of giving his identification number until finally the line on the other end was picked up,

"Agent Wilson checking in," He said, his voice even as he leaned against the door, the burning cigarette nearly forgotten as it hung in the corner of his mouth.

"No, nothing to truly support, they are roughly what I expected from the information I was given," He paused leaning his head back against the wood, "No extra security needed. Yes. No. Yes. Yes. Yes. Understood."

With that, he tapped on his phone and ended the conversation. One check-in done. Four hundred and fifty-nine to go. Xavier looked at the ceiling of the hallway, his sharp green eyes tracing every line and pool of paint as a part of his mind urged him to turn around and check the room. What if something was out of place? What if... what if... what could it hurt if he just took a quick peek?

Moa follwed Kou into her room, lingering slightly a the entrance. She was unsure if Kou would take it nicely if she just went in without asking her, seeing as she didn’t know her that well. Still, she was a bit taken aback as the usually cheerful Kou turned to her and apologised, her eyes filled with tears. Feeling a little flustered, she decided that the best thing to do was to watch her and offer her support if she needed it, so she headed for her and sat on the bed as well, picking up a pillow and squeezing it gently in an attempt to calm herself. I wonder if she needed a hug? Moa hesitantly watched her as she climbed off the matress and seemed to be deciding whether to leave the room, when her gaze was caught by some books. No, it was the fish stickers poking out from the pile of them.

She watched as Kou tried to compose herself as she pasted the fish stickers on the wall. Ok, she definitely needs a hug. Moa moved off the bed, still holding the pillow as she gave Kou an awkward cuddle. Though she preferred not to do such intimate things, she couldn’t help it seeing Kou like that. She just seemed to much smaller than her sometimes, even if they were about the same age, and she felt compelled to comfort her sometimes. “Its ok, Kou, we’ll be home soon… and they are probably not going to do more of those things to us,” she said, a look of sadness flashing in her eyes as she thought of those experiments they had gone through, but the expression passed as soon as it came, replaced by a gentle smile. “Even if they do want to, I’ll protect you! So bear with it in the meantime.”

As she finished speaking, she let her go, but not before giving her a final squeeze. “Do you want to make this our room then, I’m just going to grab my clothes and maybe a pillow or two…” she murmered softly, opening the creaking door and heading out, wanting to give Kou sometime for herself to settle her emotions. She knew how emotionally unstable she was, and wanted to try her best in helping her overcome them, but maybe she needs time… A good cry always works out.

She tried to find her room and found it located beside Xena’s with her name written in bold letters and taped across the door. She regarded it for a minute before going inside, lifting her hand to form a circle with her thumb and index finger, peering through the circle. She had a function built in to help her sense any movement sensors or cameras without the scientists’ knowledge, and she looked across the room in slight annoyance as dots of red pinpointed the sensors positions.

Seriously, there is no privacy in here… She comtemplated whether to turn them off or not, but settled for blocking them with the books she found on the shelves before taking off the white outfit she was wearing now, wincing as she saw the bruises on her arms that she had covered with the long sleeves. They would probably take a bit longer to heal up. Trying not to think about it, she slipped into her clothes, making sure that they had sleeves long enough to cover the wounds on her arms. “Sorry to interrupt your viewing session gentleman…” she muttered quietly under her breath as she moved the books away, giving them the full view of her room again.

“Now to head back to Kou I guess.” She spoke to herself out of habit in the lonely cell, striding down the hall to find her room. Maybe after they settled their room they could go check on Xena and Aika and have a little girl meeting! Its being so long since they last talked, she couldn’t wait for them to get acquatainced again. Pulling her mouthtips up into a smile, she knocked on the door and asked “Kou? Can I come in?” she might be changing or something, and if she walked in on her like that it would just be awkward, and she wanted to avoid that.

The hug was very much appreciated and Kou didn't want Moa to leave, but she knew she should let the girl check out her room and do what she needed. Kou took the oppertunity to flip off the cameras and pull the disgusting, bloody white clothing from her body. As the smell of antiseptic and hardship fled from underneath her nose, Kou resolved that she needed to do something.

It was high time she had an attitude change, they were no longer in that place and hopefully they were never going back. Kou took two deep breaths and opened the closet. The selection was huge! She had never had this many things to choose from, even at home. It took a few minutes but the female settled on a black camisole with a pale blue pull over and acid wash jean shorts.

Almost as soon as she stepped out of the closet a knock came from the door. Kou quickly wiped her face to take away the remnants of tears and hoped she didn't look like she had been crying. The female tried her hardest to put on a smile before going to see who it was. "Hey Moa," Kou stepped aside to let her friend in. "I was thinking maybe we could bring your bed in here, there's plenty of room unless you think we should sleep in your room?"

Thunder boomed outside and Kou jumped in surprise. When she touched ground her body disappeared and out poked a little bunny from the bundle of clothes on the floor. I must have been thinking of Moa's love for rabbits. She thought as she hopped out from beneath the pile.

She was a bit embarrassed that she had lost control like that, normally Kou could keep her abilities in check and she couldn't just turn back because limited to changing every few minutes. Oh well, it was better than being stuck as a lion or an armed guard or something.

Kou looked up at Moa, feeling smaller than normal. She sat up on her hind legs and tilted her head inquisitively as if asking "What should we do now?" Another boom came from outside and again she jumped; the instincts that came with being a rabbit told her to hide, but her human side told her to stay put.

Kou changed back a few minutes later and threw her clothes back on, her cheeks were a bit red because she was embarrassed by the fact she had lost control. "I'm gonna go back downstairs," Kou said and left the room. She looked outside one of the windows in the hall and spotted August and Bosco outside, standing in the rain. Would they mind if I joined them? She thought as she made her way down the stairs and to the door that led to the outside. She poked her head out, the chill from the rain biting into her skin.

It was odd and yet, it felt extricating to be cold. "Do you guys mind if I join you?" Kou asked with a shy smile. She didn't really wait for an answer, she just sort of opened the wooden block a bit wider and stepped onto the grass. Wet dirt squished between her previously clean socks and turned them brown instantly. It was better than a shower; in a shower you were confined to one space, but outside you had the whole world to wash away the dirt of yesterday.

Something purple caught her eye and she turned in the direction of a bush growing delicate flowers. Kou walked over and plucked one from it's perch, water droplets creating patterns on the plant's petals. "They're so pretty," she mused and the shy smile she had been wearing slowly grew. Bosco and August looked as if they were busy talking and Kou didn't want to interrupt them further; she traveled farther into the garden, not wanting them to think she was eavesdropping or something.

Kou hadn't wandered too far and before she knew it, Kou was in front of a large, blue hole filled with water. "There's a pool!" She shouted excitedly and did a happy dance. She loved swimming! Kou ended her little jig and slipped on the wet grass, landing with a thud! On her butt. "Oof!" The female stood and rubbed her bottom, she wasn't going to let a little thing like falling ruin her happy mood.

Moa simply sat and stared when Kou turned into a small bunny, the type she had always dreamed of. She was so cute! Its a good thin-ah no! Its bad! Really bad! She felt a little flustered by the sudden change, slightly unsure of what to do. Just as she was reaching out her hand to give it was pat, Kou-bunny changed back into Kou, blushing slightly, probably from the fact that she had lost control in front of her as she said that she would go downstairs. When she left, Moa immediately flopped back down on the bed and rolled around as her emotions started to show themselves. Its so cute! So cute! Her cheeks turned red slightly at the prospect that she had just tried to stroke Kou.

Finally, she recovered slightly and sat up on bed, looking out of the window. Kou seemed to have joined the boys, enjoying herself in her new surroundings probably. She watched as she found the pool and did a happy dance, smiling slightly. She didn't want to admit it, but Kou was cute as a human too. However, she wasn't that desperate to go into the rain, not being a fan of water like Antos. Who knows what water would have done to her gadgets? Only when Kou fell did she frown slightly in worry as she checked the closet for a raincoat so she could rush outside. Sure enough, there was a blue one, possibly for Kou, but she honestly didn't care much. Slipping one on, she raced down the stairs to find her.

She slowed down slightly as she neared to pool, panting a little just as she saw Kou stand up. "A...are you alright?" She asked, her red eyes looking her up and down in worry. Now that 'Mama' Aika was with Vena, she was kind of unsure what she was supposed to do, but her instincts told her to make sure Kou was ok. "Its raining, you should get in, you'll catch a cold." She told her, looking toward the house to check if the weird earthling was there. He must have vanished to who knows where. "Come on, Kou, lets get in. You should wear something at least." Without thinking, she pulled off her rain jacket and put it on the shorter girl, pulling it tight around her. "Whoops!" a flash of light passed her eyes as her hand turned into a screw driver. "I knew those things are not waterproof! Geez..." She took Kou's hand and pulled her gently but insistently toward the house. "I need to get fixed, I think."
