Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kain would jutt at being poked in the side, losing his lock on the hat. He put it down, "N, no.. not to wear. Be consumed? not intake. I have seen this hat? On a book. I've seen this book." Looking down at what was likely some confused looks. "In the hug of concrete, I... I erm.. was lonely. I only.. had Reno and Grey. But both bothered me... I wanted something to hold and look at. I only had my handbook" Kains aid pulling out he pocket book of Snagem. "I read it over and over. Reading was Calming." Kain smiled thinking about reading his book.

Clara lifted a brow at the the odd items. "Dante" Clara said without looking away "I think hes trying to look like Lady Ga GA." She gave a pondering smile, "The arm is easy enough, but what could we do with this less than subtle helmet?" she said circling Reno like a shark.

----------------

Malum releasing Rome would snarl. "You yourself are unsure. This is not good." He would recenter himself straightening up, ignoring the last phew things Rome had to say in his mood.

With a swift wave of the red suited beings hand, a amalgamation of flesh would reach in through the window lifting him away. "Ill send him in, hes less likely to try and kill you.

After a while a knock on the door would echo in the Victorian home. And standing looking up at the wooden door was Bonum. "Hey I head you required assistance with the memory realignment? Not sure why MAlum was here first, hehe."

Leslie looked between the two for a moment before simply tapping at her SNAG. "Nah. Physical books aren't really my thing. Gimme something to break or computer stuff to learn, I'm game. I'll go settle up accommodations for our stay here. Actually accomplish something we were here originally for." The pint-sized teen would quickly set off for her goal, checking her SNAG every once in a while to make sure she was going the right way.

Reno laughed as he heard Clara and Dante getting exasperated over the helmet he had needlessly hauled out to have them try and adapt to. "The sunglasses were a half serious thing. The helmet was me being a butt." Grabbing the sleeveless, high-collared vest from Dante's grasp and snatching up a red t-shirt, Reno would only take a few moments before sliding out of the change room. Putting the pair of sunglasses on, the redhead would examine himself in the mirror before giving a nod of satisfaction. "Not the formal style, but I like." He said, visibly checking out the new likely addition to his wardrobe. Realizing he had forgotten something, he dug into his bag and yanked out the artifact in its pocket to mount the dharmachakra on his robotic arm. There. Now it felt complete.

-------

Watching Malum slip out the door, Rome would settle on his next course of action. Namely, bailing out. Tugging with all his mental fortitude at the link he still felt with Reno, the mental apparition felt himself slowly rising off the floor and watched as he began to fade away. Smirking at his increasing transparency, Rome waited for the world to shift to normal.

Any day now.

C'mon.

.....Stupid little mental aberration was right. He was stuck.

Sighing as he dropped to the floor, he would turn to see Bonum now at the door. "Yo. Pick a portrait. We are going to complete a damned memory set of a person right now or so help me I will duct tape the three of you together until you stay recombined." Giving a few telekinetic nudges to some fragments he had managed to identify as part of Kairi's portrait, Rome waited to see what Bonum was going to add.

Kairi would nod at her sister. "Alright, well, contact us once you've got that sorted. After Kain and I are done looking at the books we'll probably go track down the others," the redhead would say before watching her sister run off. Looking up at Kain then, Kairi would give a gentle smile. "C'mon, let's see if we can find something interesting to read," she would say, tugging on Kain's arm a little as she started to walk towards where she thought she had seen the books. It had been quite a while since she had read anything of interest, and Kairi found herself to be a little excited at the fact that she could pick up something new and interesting. Thankfully, they didn't have to walk around too long to find the actually rather large section of books. Book cases towering over both Snagems. There seemed to be a few ladders set up to help customers reach the higher shelves. It reminded Kairi of a library, honestly. "I... I actually wasn't expecting something to this extent. What about you Kain?" Kairi would ask, her voice wavering a bit, betraying the fact that she was feeling a little intimidated by the huge selection they were now faced with.

Dante would stare at Reno blankly for a moment before finally glaring at his cousin. "Seriously? You were joking?" he would say, his tone a little condescending as he craned his neck up to look at Reno. Tossing his hands up in the air, he would turn around and start to walk away. Unfortunately, he wouldn't quite see what Clara had tossed to Reno because of this. "That's it. I'm done. No more help from me if you can't take this seriously," he would grumble, obviously annoyed. He did enjoy helping Reno and Clara both find something, but, he didn't feel like he could do too much more like this. Poor Dante couldn't always realize something was a joke until it was too late, and once he did, he didn't always take it well. He didn't believe that you should joke with someone who was trying to give you fashion advice, but, clearly not everyone else thought of things that way. He wasn't sure where he was headed now, so, chances were he was going to get lost eventually.

Bonum would watch as the Red haired projection danced the shard in his hands. "You know unlike Malum I know how to read people. You know Reno will find someone. He just Kind of like Kain, just needs some more balance in their lives." Bonum would lay a hand on Rome back rubbing it gently.

Lifting his hand three large pieces of glass would roll to the ground. This time a shimmer of bronze and silver planes. Kneeling down Bonum moved the pieces together, like a puzzle the peices lines sat together. A recognizable shoulder metallic and gleaming, centered in the three. "It seems we are building something big here Rome..... Thank you for being here."

Bonum would lean up stretching while he did and walked over to his stack of books of scattered memories.

-----------------------------

Clara would look back and forwth before noticing Dante had left. "Alright welll... um let me see. Okay A! You look amazing. And a the pants work with the vest perfectly. We'll grab a watch another day to go with this. B Dante has vanished and I'm not too sure why... MAYBE THIS IS HIM TESTING ME! wait but we are already done.... Umm? Well s**t" The green wearing girl would snatch at Reno's good arm and begin to hastily lead him " Okay well he can go get lost! We on the other hand are a going to get this stuff paid for and then go F-" Clara without noticing in her speedy charge slammed right into the back of some random patron of the mall.

Kain would look at the tall shelves craning his neck as he did. step by step he climbed the ladder, even tall man on the tip of his toes could not reach the entire height. Looking around he saw a few book packing them under his arm. A anctient literature book, a book on ancient pokemon, one on the mobsters of the past but that one was fiction, and what was this? Kain leaned up looking on the very top shelf, covered in dust few books where abandoned so high. The shelf even on the last stair of the ladder a normal person could not reach it, than why is there still books up there. Kain ran his hand around them blowing the dust off them and reading each cover. amongst them was something Kain had to pass down to kairi. Letting the book drop to the ground she would see a how to dress in today's fashion 1890's. "They.. they are all this old, and an and lost, I mean beat. It- It's funny."

Looking back Kain saw a rather large leather book. He was inexplicably drawn to it, he couldn't tell why. Grabbing the spine he pulled it closer. It held a purple gem in the center of the cover. The pages where yellow and worn. He would try to open finding it locked with a very odd metal brace with a keyhole. Climbing down the ladder Kain stacked the first three books on the leather back, they seemed so small now sitting atop the book larger than a dictionary. "I think I have everything."

Reno could only stand and listen as the human explosion of emotion and thought that was Clara began responding. While he wasn't willing to interrupt her stream of thought, the idea that Dante was testing her by going missing almost made him burst out into laughter. This was a man who got lost on the way to Goldenrod and ended up Mount Silver in Snagem's main lobby. Feeling her hand grasping at his flesh and blood arm, Reno simply resigned himself to his fate of following behind Clara. At least until she ran into the Haxorus and the Pokemon began to make threatening growls towards her. Well then. Time to stand his ground. "Not to be crude, but mine's bigger." Reno said, cracking open a Pokeball and watching as Fenrir emerged to glare at the slightly smaller Haxorus she was now in front of. "Put mister threatening back in his Pokeball and we can all leave peaceably miss." He added, already doing a few mental calculations over his next likely moves.

Leslie would soon find herself in front of a relatively extravagant hotel, obviously some sort of accommodations supplied by the whole event. There was no way they spent their own money to get a place like this themselves. Way too classy for their less...tactful members. Either way, in she went to go and confirm their reservations.

Rome would glance up at Bonum, suspicious for a moment of the mental offshoot before sighing. "No problem. Just promise me you three idiots won't argue over who gets the 'top' share of Kain's mind. Otherwise, I'm duct taping you all together and hitting you with a stick until you agree." Rome said, carefully placing the pieces together and attempting to lift them in to place. The first few attempts would prove the idea to be a failure, leading Rome to simply telekinetically lift the entire lot into their place in the Reno picture as one piece. "Alright. We have Reno and Kairi. Whats next."
