[[ I don't think anyone would have guessed that one xDDD ]]
::Lekalii cautiously sits down as instructed and watches the unveiling. She feels nauseous the moment the scent wafts over her nose. She puts her hand over her mouth.::
"I really... have to... consume this?"
Deteriorating animal flesh? They really eat this?
::She watches Iole dig in with great gusto and can only stare at the table. Anywhere but the meal in front of her.::

(OOC: Sorry, I've been out of it. Thanksgiving's a busy time for the bakery ) ::Natalia sits back, clearly enjoying the look of disgust on Lekalli's face:: I'm not going to force you. I suppose you can just starve... Iole, wipe your face. ::Iole reaches for the napkin, and wipes at the mess around her mouth:: Iole: Sorry Auntie.

[ Sorry.. life is a pain in the butt you know? ]
::Lekalii gives the contents on her plate one last disgusted glare before picking up her fork and shoving a piece into her mouth. She swallows and shudders.::
"Revolting..."
::She takes two more bites before she can take no more and pushes her plate away.::
"Starvation doesn't sound so bad."

::Following the events at the Moldering Sanctuary::
::The enormous double doors of Natalia's dwelling swing open, seemingly on their own as Natalia, Vincent, Kenny, Dante, and Iole enter. Anyone who's been here previous to Natalia's residence will notice her handiwork in the scenery. Elegant carpets, and furniture now cover the polished marble floor, a fireplace roars to life upon entry, and suits of armor line the walls::
Home sweet home. Make yourselves comfortable.
::Vincent has to duck to avoid an axe as one of the suits of armor swings for him. The blade plants itself in the wall::
Back to your post, they're with me. Note to self; fix bug in armored guards logic.
(OOC: Oh yeah, Lek, feel free to just jump in, and say you've been living here)

Vincent kicks the armor guards' shin, which makes a deafening clank.
"Yeah, great work there Natalia. Won't need a hair cut there for awhile, wait let me put my ear back on."
Vincent jokingly sticks his tongue out at Natalia.
"Anyway, do you have some sort of communication device, I'd like to try and get in touch with my ship."

Dante takes an observant walk around this place... carefully avoiding any of these "traps". He goes outside via from the back door and stand upon the cliffside where the ocean waves below crashed below the cliff.
He sits on the ground and just stares... trying to ease his mind with the sounds of the waves and the smell of the flora and fauna upon some of the deteriorating buildings and ruins outside as well as the sea salt smell....
Dante awaits to hear if a meeting will occur... at the same time wonders of what has become of him.. or tries to recall it. Other than that... I need a drink.

::Natalia rolls her eyes at Vincent::
If you remember correctly, I already gave you one, but you smashed it.
::She pulls out one of her small scrying mirrors, and tosses it to him::
Here. Rainii has one, she was with your crew wasn't she?

"I don't like being bugged."
Vincent catches it, then twiddles between his fingers.
"Actually, no, she was aboard the Esthar ship... Ragnorock... or something like that, but I'll give her a call and see what happened."
Vincent half waves, half salutes and wonders off to call in quiet.

::Dante is pulled from his thoughts, and the sound of the sea by a voice behind him::
So, are you ready to talk?
::He turns, and sees Natalia leaning casually against the wall. He hadn't even heard any footsteps::
I saw what happened to you back there. Care to tell me what that was about.
::She can tell he doesn't really want to talk about it, but she continues to prod::
Keep in mind, Dante, that this is a house of many secrets, and I haven't failed to keep every -- last -- one.

Dante, in all honesty, does not fully understand the "secrets" of Natalia's house... but if what he thought was true...
-- Memory Trigger --
"Please, Dante, don't be so rebellious... you wouldn't want me to do THIS to you, would you??"
Li stomps his foot down and a stone wall almost hits Dante's chin from below the ground. Dante, enraged of this threatening message, shatters the stone wall with a single punch... reveal Dante glowing a darkness-purple... however, his mother's necklace sparkles a blinking light...
-- Memory Trigger --
Dante stands up slowly as the same thing occurs but pyreflies appear as well.
"Please... don't threaten me... that pisses me off..." He does a swing punch to a pillar next to him and shatters it. "... literally. If you like to talk, sure... but note that there are times that I can't explain EVERYTHING, lady... let alone FEEL COMFORTABLE for the fact I feel that I will be misunderstood by most people and them..... but... you're.... different... maybe... as well as others I met..."
Then Dante's eyes widen and starts to cough heavily and grunts. Everything phases back to normal... no more odd glowing, pyreflies return upon him, and his mother's necklace fades. He shakes his head to realizes he is standing and turns to see the crumbing pillar he never noticed. Assuming he just did not see the pillar, he ignores it and turns to Natalia...
"... hm... no one has ever asked... of this question to me before... let alone cared. I supposed your question is of curiosity seeing that you threaten me first instead of asking nicely or noticed I'm trying to forget the sadistic prick who just backstabbed almost close to my a-- ...."
Dante coughs heavily again and continues, shaking his head a bit. "I assume... you have seen odd things upon me: the green transparent glow that makes me feel... empty... used... purposeless... nonexistent...... *coughs heavily*.
Sorry... wrong choice of words: inability to grab items and this odd power I seemed to have unintentionally frighten everyone just like "her" and them. *coughs heavily*
In all honesty, I do not know why this occurs other than the fact that it happens and when it does I either take advantage or evade or avoid combat. This, of course, is different now... since I am now with... other people... so no... I do not know exactly why.
However... I have an assumption upon what could be happening to me, though this could be both shocking and confusing... and maybe that the assumption is true. I do not bother talking about it... for the fact there was be no one to speak with for the last... 6... years. It has been in my encased mind for ages... maybe letting it out on someone like you... or even Eva... would be at least decent... or a waste... I don't know more.... *coughs heavily*
But I believe you have never entered in the alternate world I lived in called Spira (World of FFX)... also known as the "Spiral of Death". If you are willing to listen unlike them about the "pyreflies" that appear out of me so you can understand the theory, then OK... if not... I understand you know, since we're at war with an army of sadistic pricks and all... if you actually do like to listen about the "pyreflies", because without it you'll never understand my theory behind it, then I consider you to be the first person to actually LISTEN and UNDERSTAND before doing some action like, I don't know, forcing me into a side... or killing me?..."
Dante notices how Natalia acts... different around him. "... is there something wrong? It is as though you are confused with one thing to another. Is this coughing really bothering you? Sorry... I have not talked this much.. and starting to feel... opened... or such... you are not reading my mind, thoughts, and memories as I was discussing, were you? Not that it has ever happened... until the Sand's War but did you? Ugh... my head..." He kneels down for a moment as he coughs a bit more.

(OOC: Out of curiosity, is the dialogue with the lines through it being spoken out loud, or is it in Dante's head? I'm confused)
::Natalia furrows her brows together, trying to make sense of everything that Dante was saying::
No, of course not. Your thoughts are your own. I respect that boundary. But you would be wise to keep your thoughts low around Iole. She's still getting used to that ability, and she's a little young to have such reservations. So you were saying... about the pyreflies?

(OOC - Yeah, sorry... and forgot to tell you the line-striking sentences; it is really "the other" talking and italic line-striking is "the other" via thoughts. Should have noted earlier that Dante's voice changes.)

"Hate to interrupt." Says Vincent approaching behind Dante and Natalia. "But we have a situation." Vincent tosses the scrying mirror back to Natalia. "Rainii and the others have gone to Balamb garden and my ship was last seen heading to Esthar after being damaged in Jidoor. Also... What Louis was talking about apparently was a missile strike against Esthar, it's pretty bad according to GNN." Vincent runs his hand through his hair, slicking it back. "I'm going to go try and hook up with my ship, find where Tya took Miguel and lay-low for a bit, till we can all regroup."

Dante's hand starts to fist up... and in a brief flash his transparent facial expression upon from his real blank facial expression reveals an anger no one ever seen.
"Damn it... Those pricks... to think they had the guts to do that... oh wait.. they do! Let us hope no lives were lost or I'm going to--..."
Dante walks away and heads to the house. "Well, I hope we can formulate a plan pretty damn soon. I will await outside the house... please call me when the meeting starts since there's SOMETHING inside that house I can't detect..."
As Dante walks away, "the other side" gives a direct thought to Natalia.
Be glad I felt that Vincent need not know this... the last thing I need is more... conflict. We shall discuss this later. And... I suppose I must thank you... and the prick (Louis) slightly. Part of "me" has been unlocked... or at least feels opened... though I have doubts doing "this". With that, however, you and I can combined our magic skills into something to advantage in the future. When it will occur wholeheartedly depends on your willingness... until then, you have my slight trust... slight because I am a person that is very, VERY sensitive towards trusting someone..blame "them".
Dante turns around a corner and awaits for the time to head out....
(OOC -- All right, well, I will be gone for a while. I hope to get internet connection soon. Please move me if you can; thank you.)

::Natalia remains apparently apathetic, despite Vincent's news, and Dante's biting thoughts. How many schizophrenics had she had the pleasure of meeting now? Kyre, Lekalli, and now Dante. Was there something she was doing to attract all these weirdos?::
Alright, we should leave at once. Iole!
::The little girl bounds outside, looking rather energetic, considering how many she had carried so recently. Were her powers growing?::
Iole: We're leaving again aren't we.
I'm afraid so dear. Something very bad happened to Rainii's home.
Iole: WHAT?!
::Iole leaps over the balcony, plunging for the cliffs below. She soars into the air again as a white, blue-eyed dragon, which proceeds to wave it's head back& forth frantically::
Kenny! Come along, we're leaving dear. ::looks to Vincent:: Are you coming with us?

[Gaaah! sorry, sorry! Life is hectic! D=]
::Lekalii watches the newcomers file in one by one. A few looked a little familiar but she didn't trust this human memory. She stands against the wall quietly observing.
When the company is furled into a frenzy for departure she quickly slips the soft white glove off her right hand revealing her silver stained skin beneath. with a flick of her wrist some of her old matter rises from her palms in the form of two blade like feathers. Taking one in each hand she jabs them below her shoulder blades flinching as the human nerves react. But in a moment her wings erupt and she quickly follows Iole out the window with a sigh of relief. She had been grounded for so long, the air felt good under her now pseudo wings.::

(OOC - Finally back... although it is rather quiet. And Natalia, I will PM later... feeling rather dazed of the trip)
Dante notices that they were planning to head out. He walks to get ready to climb up.
"I take it we either have a plan... or something most horrible has happened." Well as long...
"He" remembers of Iole's ability to mind read unintentionally and Dante starts to cough heavily. Later, he simply nods, "All right, let us go then."
He then hears something... the clinks of steel and blades. Dante strafes to side... seeing Lekalii.
"Well... this is... interesting... and rather a beautiful body figure... *coughs heavily*. A friend of yours, Natalia... from another world I suppose..?"
