Welcome to Gaia! ::

The bar was dark; the smell of smoke, piss, and stale beer seemed to be seep from the very walls. The patrons were a mix of both humans and hybrids, male and female, and the music a bit loud. All in all, it seemed to be a very seedy, run-down type of place set back in the deepest alley of Goldenrod.


Which is where Night could currently be found, sitting alone in a dark corner with an untouched drink on the table in front of her. This bar had been a place Night frequently visited, both before and after her hybridization. Currently, the Ninetales sat staring at her SNAG, a thoughtful and contemplative look on her face before sending out a quick message and sitting back, finally downing the drink that had been sitting in front of her.

Night sat and stared at her empty glass for several moments, barely acknowledging RC when he came in and sat across from her. After a few moments, she glanced up and, with a wave of her hand, caught the attention of one of the bartenders, a Garchomp hybrid, who immediately approached to bring Night a refill of her drink choice and turned towards RC, "What's yer poison?" Upon hearing the order, the Garchomp quickly returned to the bar just long enough to make the drink before returning to the table just long enough to set the drink down in front of his fellow dragon before resuming his former position at the bar.

It wasn't until this exchange was through that Night chose to speak, first glancing around her to ensure they were alone in her secluded corner, "In a nutshell, I'm losing my mind. Among other things. I've spoken with Sub on this matter, but with everything going on lately, "she shook her head before downing a large swallow of her drink, "he has other things, more important things, to worry about. You're fairly seasoned, so I figured if there was anyone else that could possibly help, it'd be you."

"I've been losing time," Night said, "Sometimes it's only a few minutes, other times hours have gone by, even days. Take now for instance, the last thing I remember is being inside Realgam Tower with the rest of the group. Then I found myself here, weeks later, with no memory of how I got here."

"Not alone?" Night asked, glancing down at her hands, "So, I'm possessed or something?" She ran her hands through her hair before downing several more swallows of her drink, "I guess it makes sense, it would explain the blackouts."

A contemplative look crossed over Night's features for a few moments before she grabbed her glass and finished off the rest of her drink. She signaled for the bartender to bring her another round as she flashed RC a dark, humorless grin, "Fat chance of that happening, Dragon. I've been held back long enough and I aim to have a little fun. I'll not have Aetna's kind heart prevent me from doing so."

"No, possibly, and no," Night said, sitting back with her freshly filled drink in her hand, "Tell me, how much do you know about what happened to me, to this body?"

One of Night's ears twitched slightly as she stared at RC, trying to decide whether he truly was unaware of the events that led to her hybridization or not. Truthfully, she couldn't remember if he had even been present during that time. Regardless, she took a couple large swallows of her drink before beginning, "I was once human, as I'm sure you're aware. Many years ago, we were on a mission in a distant land. I had the misfortune of coming across an Elemental who decided to have a little fun with me. He fused my human body with that of my Ninetales, thus creating this body. So, you see, I am the original inhabitant of this body. I am Aleissa."

Night shook her head, "I have nothing against Aetna, at least not personally. I simply wish to take back what is mine. For many years she held control over this body while I was forced into the background. It wasn't until recently that I was even capable of taking control of our body, I'll not give up that control so easily."
