Welcome to Gaia! ::

Heln: "A guy named Zenaku. Elci knows about him.....I think i'll go to bed now. don't stay up too late everyone. I imagine we have to leave this city now in the morning" he goes to a cot and lays on it

Nerius sat carefully, slowly, in a liquid motion. He could feel the tension in the air, though he didn't fully understand its depth. The man Heln hadn't seemed to take notice of him, but he swore he had seen him somewhere before. He felt Ashoc struggling to make sense beside him. If he was going to speak his piece, it might as well be now.

"Yes, my name is Nerius," he began slowly. "And I am a member of the Agency of Order. Years ago, the Agency of Order and what are now referred to as the Chaos Defectors were united in a large corporation of sorts. Together we kept a the uneasy balance of the universe." He paused momentarily, remembering. Such a long time ago...

"Usually an agent of Order would be paired with one of Chaos. Together they would go about their merry way, one wreaking a bit of havoc here, the other cleaning it up there. It worked... or so we thought." Flashes of years-old assignments flashed through his head. Egypt, Japan, Britain, Germany... "It was an uneasy alliance, and over the years members from both 'sides,' as it were, began to question the effectiveness. There is a rule... Order will last only last as long as chaos can be entertained elsewhere. The truth is... The Agents of Order were beginning to overstep their bounds..." More than that, he thought, they were getting downright violent.

"...and after a few incidents too many... well... Ashoc, as a veteran member of the Chaotic branch, couldn't handle anymore of the strife... She left... and with her, went 90% of the Agents of Chaos. Some stayed... became Orderlings..." He broke off, not knowing how to continue...

Roland stood off to the side, and he appeared to be listening to what was being said. Although he wasn't. He was lost in thought. "A hero's death, huh? I can't accept that as an answer. It's just an excuse to save his own a**," he muttered under his breath. Roland stormed outside and sparked a cigarette. "We could have helped him. No one had to die, especially not Hedron..." Roland trailed off and stared at the sky. Before long, the cigarette had burned down and gone out in his hand, despite the fact that Roland had only taken one drag off of it. He was oblivious to this...

Roland shook his head, aroused from his thoughts. He looked up and saw the person adressing him: an old man tied up and hanging from a nearby building. Roland used his gloves to hover up to the man, using the energy from the gloves and propelling it downward. "Man, what I wouldn't give for a pair of boots like these too" He said. The gloves were hard to use for this, and it took a lot of upper body strength. If his arms went limp, the gloves would turn around and face the sky, sending him on a quick trip to the ground. He floated up to the top of the building and said "Seems like you got yourself into a bit of trouble there. Lets see what we can do about that..." Roland pulled on the rope and hoisted the man to the top of the wall, where he cut him loose with a knife formed from the energy gloves.

Elcia was listening or at least trying to, her thoughts where elsewhere. She heard what Roland muttered under his breath, things she herself was thinking and she watched him storm out the door.
She herself wanted to do something drastic but disciplined in restraint she staid still, rooted in place by her own anger.
"So you have decided to change sides I presume." She replied to the general conversation rather icily.

"Roland. i've known you since you were just an embryo inside your mothers womb. and i've known your family even longer then that" "But we are in no way related, that is for sure"

"must we do it here? Mind if I go inside where your friends are at? I think that would make you more comfortable." as soon as Roland blinked the old man was at the door of the warehouse "Come now. it will get cold soon" he said calmly

the old man was already in a rocking chair

"Hope you don't mind. I'm glad to see everyone again. thought it would be forever before I got to see Elcia face to face"
