((The shark one. :)))

Tali fidgeted under her mommy's gaze, worried that she'd been bad in some way. "Me tis owd, Mommy," Tali answered, proudly holding up three fingers. "Me name Tawi. You siwwy! You know dat!" Giggling at her mommy, Tali didn't quite notice the bubbles until they tickled her chin. Then she squealed in delight. "Tank you, Mommy!" Eagerly, she began trying to shape the bubbles into towers, the previous exchange gone from her mind.

Strangely enough, Niji hadn't regressed like Tali. In fact, the rapier was beginning to quiver against the wall downstairs. He had a human form as well, but due to the bond between he and Tali, his personality was much like hers. It did take him a few minutes, but eventually, there was a naked, rainbow-haired man sitting where the sword had been. Standing, he walked over to Makoto. "Excuse me, sir? Do you happen to have any extra clothes for me?" he asked, polite as always.

Cameron held her breath for a moment. Turning the water off, she smiled at the girl. "I'll be right back ok? If you need anything, yell for me, and absolutely do not stand up in that tub" she said sternly, easily appearing to accept the mother role, but feeling akward at the exchange. She slipped out of the bathroom leaving the door open so she would hear if the girl yelled for her, as she also left the bedroom door. Quickly making her way down the stairs and into the lobby she was searching for Makoto. There was clearly a situation and Cameron needed help, and guidance. Glancing towards the front desk she spotted him, talking with the small girl who had knocked earlier. As she quickly approached she realized there was a man standing there as well. Looking to him she smiled aknowledgingly before realizing now that the man was naked. Her hand shot up to her eyes covering them as she gasped. Peeking slighty through them she frowned, "What is wrong with you!? There are children and women here!"

Nodding, Tali seemed to absorbed in building towers to hear anyone. But her mommy had said not to get out of the tub, so she wouldn't. She didn't have a reason to anyway. It was too much fun in the tub. Giggling, she was left splashing and playing the tub, fully focused in her little world.

Cocking his head at the new entry, Niji frowned. Well-toned muscles rippling as he turned, most women would have stared. She didn't, which was different. Maybe it didn't matter to her? Shaking his head, Niji spoke. "Do you think I'm unaware of that fact, ma'am?" he said. "'Tis the reason I'm asking after a fresh change of clothes after all. Mayhap, you could assist me with that?"

Blushing slightly Cameron removed her hand. She was worried about the girl in the tub, her mentality was much too young for Cameron's comfort and she didn't want to leave her for long. Taking a deep breath, she tried to keep her eyes focused on his, instead of other places. "I need to get back upstairs, if you follow me I'll let you into a room where you can change." She tuned to Makoto, "When you check in Darcy will you please also check in the young girl? Her name I think is Tali, we seem to have a situation with her, if you could meet me in room 3 when you're done." She grabbed her long coat from the coat rack and handed it to the man. It would fit tightly, but at least cover him until they reached a room. Quickly she turned motioning for him to follow as she headed for the stairs.

"Certainly, ma'am. Lead the way," Niji replied, bowing slightly after buckling on the coat. It was rather tight, but it covered everything, which was what it was for in this case. Vaguely, Niji could feel Tali upstairs. He knew she was regressed, though he couldn't imagine how to fix it. A similar circumstance had never been recorded, that's for sure! Bowing slightly to Makoto, he followed Cameron up the stairs. "I am called Niji. Might I ask your name, ma'am?" he asked as they walked.

(Yay the rp didnt die!! :D)

All of a sudden when a man out of nowhere came over toward Makoto while he was basically sitting at the front desk; signing in the girl named 'Darcy' for her room. Noticing how the man that had come up to him was completely naked and had rainbow hair kind of was awkward to just even look at. That was the last thing he was expecting to see; or better yet, he wasn't even thinking of possibility even seeing a random male come out of nowhere saying that if Makoto could give him some clothing since he was naked. If that wasn't strange enough, the man had rainbow hair for gods sake. Completely kind of stupefied to see a naked man in front of his face with rainbow hair; Makoto wasn't even too sure what to say to him as he stayed silent for a moment. Only to notice Cameron came right down blushing and covering her eyes; only to yell at the man for being so obscene. Hearing the little smart talk back by the man, and watching as how Cameron gave him a jacket only to tell Makoto that there was something wrong with the girl that screamed 'mommy' earlier and that her name was 'Tali'. At least he now knew the girl's name; although hearing that there was something wrong kind of confused him a bit. Whatever it could be, it probably was important; things around here were never normal like at any normal mortal human inn. So giving a nod and writing down the girl's name as well into the check-in booklet before standing up from his seat behind the check-in desk; Makoto wasn't too sure what the name of the other man was that came here naked so he obviously couldn't sign him in just yet. Rather, he just tilted his head to look around at the rest of the people within the inn. "Attention people..if any of you need me or the co-owner of this inn. You may find us in room 3..any staff that wish to participate in the meeting may come to the room." he stated before walking away from the desk and making his way up the stairs to room 3 to see or rather hear what the problem was from Cameron seemed to say.

Tilting her head slightly, feeling a little bit lost, she watched the male that was just talking to her, sign her into a room, which she didn't know the number for just yet. She blinked a few times, and shrugged it off.

Although she may not be able to reach the desk fully, she used her small yet strong wings to lift her up high enough to see the sheet. Room five, eh? Just gotta find that.. She sighed, letting herself drop onto the floor with a light thump noise. Yeahh.. I'll probably be here for a while.. Just until that.. Man.. finds me again. Oddly, he almost does.. She frowned slightly as she headed or the stairs, still stuck in her own thoughts. I wonder where he's at now..? He's probably out searching for me again if he's still alive! She let a slight snicker out of her.

In the mean time, out side of her thoughts, she had gotten to the top of the stairs, and already close to her room. She stopped for a moment. I wonder if it's always this busy around here.. She thought as she watched what was going on for a moment, then headed for her door.

Smiling at the thought of having a bed again, and people she could call her friends or family for that matter if she stays long enough Made her feel that much more safe from the monster who harmed her all those years ago. She unlocked the door and pushed the door open to see a pretty little room. A decent sized bed, a bed side table with a lamp, a dresser on the wall beside the door, and a trunk in front of the bed. I think this may just become my new home~ She grinned as she stepped into her new room, closing the door softly behind her, and skipping over to the bed, and letting herself flop down onto it, then sighing with relief.

(( Some parts in my post are right cheesy compared to what I usually do.. :< ))

Alixe stood in the snow, feeling how cold it was against her skin, she was tempted to bring out her wings, however, it was best to keep them hidden in case they were around haters of the non-human race. "Alice, are you alright?" Alixe asked as she helped her sister up; their wings were really cold, so flying was out of the question.

"I'm fine Alixe, don't worry" Alice stated getting up with her sister's help. "We need to get out of the cold though, I'm going to freeze" Alice was the type of person that loved the warmth of the sun during the spring and summer while Alixe only liked Autumn and early winter with no snow.

Both girls moved towards the end, keeping their guard up as they didn't stop. They had a few basic things with them in bags they carried on their backs and sides. "Do you think this was worth it, Alice?" Alixe asked about leaving the family behind so that they could control their new lives. "Yes I do, now no brooding" Alice replied not really scolding as they opened the door walking inside and closing it behind them. 'Finally, warmth' Alice thought to herself still holding her sister's hand, however, when she saw the people around she dropped it quickly.

The two girls walked over to the front desk, quietly waiting to be spoken to before speaking. It was habit out of being taught to be patient, however, Alixe didn't have much of that quality unless there was a good reason behind it. (P.s. They look just like their pics on the front page :D)

The cold man shuffled along, casting quick glances over his shoulder, intent upon staying as far away from the riled villagers as possible. The deathly silence that permeated behind him told him long ago that his pursuers had long abandoned the chase. But still he moved, frozen feet carrying him through trees and howling winds, the stirrings and whispers permeating from the gourd he clutched to his body causing him to hiss in his native tongue, ordering them silent. And so they did, though the sense of smugness could be felt even in the carved runes. And still Adax moved, finally stopping when his bleeding feet could take him no further. He leaned against the tree now, panting as he shivered, lifting his head to look about his surroundings, barely catching sight of a building through the trees. And he moved, pushing his tired legs and bleeding feet to carry him there, hoping the residents were kind enough to take him in. And if they were not, he'd kill them and take their home as his shelter. He would not die here. He could not die here. He had to live, if only for them.

Making her way up the stairs she responded to the man, "I'm Cameron, you can call me Cam" she said looking at the man again. She couldn't help but giggle at him with his rainbow hair and tight jacket. When her mind wasn't so pre-occupied she would have to remember to ask him how he got his hair to look like that. Approaching the door to Tali's room she turned to him, "Please come in and wait for a moment, on the bed if you wish, we have a small situation here that needs to be handled before I can get you into some more fitting clothes." With that she quickly made her way across the room to peek into the bathroom where the young girl was still thankfully in the tub. Turning back to face the open bedroom door she began to feel impatient waiting on Makoto. She was worried about this girl and didn't know how to handle the situation, surely she couldn't act as this girl's mother, but someone would need to look after her. She felt her head begin to pound as she reached up to massage her temples while waiting for Makoto.

Nodding at her name, Niji resisted the urge to look at the door Tali was behind, instead reaching to open the door Cameron pointed out. "Thank you, Miss Cameron. I will be patient," he said, as polite as always. "I do hope everything works out though." Then he closed the door, sat on the bed, and waited with his racing thoughts. The room was nicely decorated, with an antique, yet rustic, finish. The wallpaper was cheery, yet warming as well. The wind and snow howling outside the windows frosted the class, lending it a more menacing appearance. A small fire was going in the fire place, radiating warmth very nicely. The stone mantel was decorated well with wooden and bronze stags, in addition to ivory wolves in front of a grand tapestry depicting a fox running from hunters. The queen-sized water bed was immensely relaxing, especially with the warmth of the fire place.

Making his way upstairs toward the room where Cameron had told Makoto to head to so that they could have a conversation about what was wrong with the other girl named 'Tali'; right before he could go down the hallway to make it right into the room. He stopped right in his tracks, only to turn around and think that he had heard what seemed like someone approaching the front door from the lobby. Makoto wasn't exactly one hundred percent sure if there was anyone down there, but his hopes were on the thought that there wasn't anyone down there. Even if there was, the least he could do was hope the conversation between him and Cameron wouldn't last too long so that he could go back down and sign everyone in. Making his way over toward the room, he simply walked right inside only to see that she was waiting for him rather impatiently. Giving a little nervous smile across his face when he had noticed how she was looking rather impatient. "Sorry about taking so long..so what is it about the young miss Tali that is so important?" he asked, turning his head over the side of his shoulder to look back toward the direction of the lobby. Makoto couldn't stop thinking that there were some people down in the lobby trying to sign in and there wasn't anyone at the front desk.

Hikaru at this point was walking throughout the village with both his white feathered angelic wing along with his black feathered wing wrapped around his body once again. Not much was really interesting around here today which was kind of a bore for him, there wasn't much to do at the inn. Now there wasn't much else to even at the village nearby. Giving a sigh and stopping right in the middle of the village, he simply took a look around and noticed how there was not many humans around outside at this time. Giving a little shrug to himself and spreading out his wings widely, Hikaru simply bolted right up into the skies and began to make his way back over toward the inn. While flying throughout the sky, it was only a matter of time before he made it to the forest. While he flew over the forest, his own eyes caught the attention of some guy walking throughout the forest on the cold snowy floor. It seemed he was having some trouble, so might as well help. Immediately making his way down toward the male who seemed to had been having trouble, by the time Hikaru was down; he slowly folded his wings behind his back, tilting his head curiously toward the male. "Are you okay sir?..do you need help?"

(just to tell you Kia_ im not ignoring your post. I'll have someone come to your characters soon..well..unless one of the other employees do that first. O.O)

Adax turned sharply, eyeing the man with mild shock. But he let out a long breath through his nose, his legs beginning to wobble and shake. The man didn't seem threatening and actually seemed to be a tad concerned. And Adax nodded, heavy breaths leaving his lungs. He shouldn't have stopped. His legs wouldn't be able to carry him any further. And he stood, looking back to the building. "I...what is...that building over there?" he asked, voice ragged from his endless trek. It had seemed like ages since his last drink of water, having left what supplies he had back in that village. And that had included his water skin. "And....can you help me get there?...I think...I think my feet are bleeding..."

Kiki was walking around doing the usual that he did, cleaning the rooms around the afternoon when everyone was out of their rooms. He had only between 11am-1pm to clean the rooms that had the door signs on them. Once that was done he normally tidied up a bit here and there, they hadn't yet had someone to just clean up around the place so he thought it would be a nice thing to do. After all, the inn took him in after he explained some of his story to them. He just needed a place to stay and this was the best way to do it.

Stopping in his tracks, he had noticed the two girls, oddly dressed in dresses and looking like sisters or maybe twins at that. "Oh hello" Kiki smiled brightly, "Are you knew to the inn?" he asked, normally he was the bright and happy type that did his best to keep others around him, including himself, as calm and happy as they could be.

"Y-yes, we are" Alixe spoke still a tad bit cold, that made Kiki's smile shrink a little. "Oh, don't tell me you were wondering out in those dresses, where are your coats" shaking his head "Nevermind, nevermind, let us get you set up in a room, do you want seperate rooms or just one?" "One room would be nice please, we can share the bed" Alice replied placing her arms around her sister warming her up more. They say body heat tends to help out when you are cold and don't have any other choices around.

"Of course, could you sign in here while I pick out a room for you" Kiki stated going behind the Inn's wooden desk and picking out room 14 as Alice nodded signing in for the two of them, placing the pen down, Alice accepted the key "Come, I will show you, then I will get some extra blankets for you two" Kiki smiled heading over to the rooms up the steps as Alice and Alixe followed. Once they got to the room Alice walked in climbing under the blankets, Kiki had wondered off to get an extra blanket or two for the girls and came back giving them to Alice. "Here these should help" Kiki smiled looking at the clock in their room "Oh I gotta go, please do have a good rest and soon meet the other guests" Kiki smiled nodding and slightly bowing before leaving the room to finish up the others. Alice wrapped the blankets around her sister as they took off their shoes and kept each other warm for a bit under the covers.

Standing there and continuing to stare at the man who seemed to be freezing and weaken form the cold. Hikaru simply just tilted his head at the thought about how hurt this man was right at the moment. If he wanted help with moving along, than Hikaru wouldn't mind giving a helping hand out to try to get the man to where he was going or at least get him toward the inn in front of the two of them; so that this man could rest up in the warm inn. Without much time, in the next moment when the man had started to stare toward the inn; Hikaru simply took a little look over toward it than back toward the man with a little smile across his face. There was no doubt about it, this man was going to probably want to get toward the inn to rest up. "That sir, is the Darkened Moon Inn." he explained noticing how the man asked right after to see if Hikaru could help him over there; especially from the fact that the man had said that his feet were bleeding. That wasn't going to do any good at all for him on walking if his feet were truly bleeding. Giving a little nod, he immediately grabbed onto the man's nearly frost-bitten arm and swung it right over Hikaru's own shoulder; while one hand held onto that arm, the other hand grabbed onto the waist belt of the man's pants as Hikaru tried to help him off his feet to begin him over toward the inn, with as least amount of pain as possible. "Just hang in there sir. We're almost there." he stated a few minutes before he made it toward the front door; pushing it open with his own shoe. "Hey!..can anyone help me with this guy?" Hikaru called out loudly, hoping at least one of the guests or employees would help out.

Kiki heard the call and instantly ran down the steps, "What is it Hikaru?" Kiki asked, they had met once before just for name mentioning, but, lately a lot of customers had been coming in from all over. Kiki looked at the other man, walking over quickly to the new guest, or at least he thought was the new guest, and looked to Hikaru, he might've been a small kid. However, his looks are nothing compared to his strength, he wasn't the strongest, though, was stronger than he looked.

Adax blinked, looking back to the man. "So....an inn..." he whispered, more to himself than anyone, relief flooding him. An inn....that was good. He would not have to resort to violence for survival. Not this time. It was their job to supply shelter to strangers after all. When the boy in front of him grabbed his arm, mild shock filled him at the strength that hummed through him, especially as he was lifted nearly off the ground, finding that his feet peeled from the bottom of his shoes, wincing as skin tugged and tore. So, they were bleeding. And his skin appeared to be peeling from the blisters and strain he had placed on him. But he ignored it for, instead marveling as he was dragged almost effortlessly inside, blinking at the warmth that greeted his frozen and beaten body. "Thank you..." he muttered, lifting his head as a voice called from somewhere nearby, foot steps soon bringing another person into view, bright pink hair catching the worn necromancer off guard. He had never seen such bright hair before.

Kiki's hair was completely natural as it could come, it was odd of course, and most would think he dyed it, but, it was however true that it was natural just like his father's hair was. Kiki looked at the man "Oh, we should get you set down and then take care to your wounds" Kiki was a witch in training, which meant that he could use magic to see how well another person was doing, not all the time, and not with everyone, just those who let their guards down. Kiki kept his smile, it hardly would ever leave his face, he didn't fear much just to frown nor would he give up his smile at all.

When Kiki seemed to be the one who came up toward Hikaru to help him with this injured man; noticing how he asked what the problem was. All he could really even do was just show him how the man was actually bleeding on his feet, considering how long this man was probably out in the freezing cold snow storm. Who knew how bad his injuries really were, not only was he already physically hurt; but not to mention considering all the cold that was surging throughout his body. It wasn't exactly sure how much of his body temperature as already dropped. With only a few moments of standing there, hearing the male speak up to thank Hikaru for helping. All he really did in return for him saying 'thank you' was simply a little nod, he didn't really need the thanks from the man since the only reason he really helped was because he really had nothing else to do and Hikaru couldn't really stand seeing some just die right in the middle of the freezing cold like that. That was no way to die, it was almost shameful to see that since if a person had died like that; it would be almost as though they were frozen before they could even die. Hearing from Kiki that it was probably going to be a better idea to set the man down, he simply gave another little nod; trying to pull the male over toward one of the couches by the fireplace so his body could warm itself back up and so that he wouldn't have to put too much strain on his already injured body. By the time he was able to help the male over toward one of the longer couches, Hikaru simply had nothing else to do but let Kiki try to help him. Being a fallen, he couldn't really know how to use his own angelic powers to heal the man since he wasn't exactly even an angel any longer. Most of his own abilities were more for protection or offensive so healing was pretty much out of the question. As for names, he wasn't exactly too sure if asking something like that at the moment was going to be the best idea. Rather, Hikaru just thought about asking for that later.

(why do i feel like that was a crappy post. X-X)

(hey it aint, look how short mine is, but my headaches keep getting in the way :P and Kiki is a guy lol)

Kiki was always mistaken for his looks to be a female, it was normal with his hair and the way he dressed. Kiki helped out to get the man to the couch, once there Kiki said "Let me get a few things" and he wandered off to grab a thick bucket with warm water, some herbs that he put in the water, and a blanket. Giving the blanket to the man he started talking to himself remembering how to exactly do this "Lavender for relaxing, chamomile for soothing, eucalyptus for keeping from getting sick" Kiki was quite good at remembering these things and what they were used for. "Burdock for healing the feat, Sage for allowing wounds to heal" of course the time limit was unknown, these shouldn't hurt the guy, but, Kiki didn't ask if he was allergic to any of this, so he brought counter items just in case. "This should help with some of the pain and most of the healing" Kiki stated smiling as he worked it together and then asked the guy to put his feet in the bucket "It wont hurt, trust me, I put in a cooling compound that should work very well" the herbs were placed in a sachet as it sunk to the bottom of the bucket.

Adax blinked, finding the fact he was dragged over to and placed on a couch by a fire to be highly relieving, his legs shaking even more as they were finally allowed to rest, shivering covering about half the shaking in his limbs. He hissed as his shoes were removed, biting his lip at their horrid condition. But he did as he was told when the pink haired lad returned, finding the water to sting before the cooling agents he had talked about kicked in. And so he sat back, smiling in obvious relief. "Thank you...thank you both," he whispered, watching them through the strands of his frozen hair. He had listened in when the boy was going through the things he had needed, taking note of each, finding the list familiar. Must have been a witch. It had been a while since he had last seen one, being rare around these parts. In fact, magic users of most kinds seemed to be a tad rare. But he wouldn't complain. The less who were present the less who could discover his talents and drive him away.

(Hey, its not bad. Mine's going to be horrible to look at once I get home. I should never be up this early....)

(O.O i wasn't informing in shortness xD i meant like; i had a feeling my post didnt make sense. @[email protected]'' and whoopies! sawwi D: I had read the profile that he was a guy, guess i was just too tired :lol: )

By the time Hikaru was able to help the male over toward the couch so that he could relax next to the fire all the while Kiki could tend to his wounds. He simply stood there a few feet away from the two of them with both his own arms crossed and his wings now wrapped around his own body. It was rather cold outside and the fire was helping him too but it was simply still too cold as he just stood there only able to watch Kiki do his job on helping this man with his injuries. It wasn't really by choice but rather it was just listening in that Hikaru could also hear the few words what Kiki was saying about which herb did what for the wounds. He was never really good with herbs to begin with since even when Hikaru was still an angel within heaven, he was more of the fighter than a healer like most angels.

Kiki was normally a very understanding person, of course his life wasn't the best, but nor was it the worst in any case. Kiki would read about some herbs he learned, however, his grandmother taught him most of the time, that was before she passed away. Kiki was fine with death though, for the kid who didn't believe in it, he took it pretty well. "Okay I think that should do it, just stay by the fire and warm up for awhile, once you are warm, you can probably walk around" Kiki stated thinking that it might be an hour or so before the healing was finished, at least a minimum of 30 minutes and it could take up to 12 hours of healing, however, the guy's wounds weren't that bad as they felt or looked. Kiki asked "Is there anything you want or need?"

(nah its cool happydeath, its more fun when others find out later that he is a guy lol)

Adax sighed lightly, shakily lifting the bottle from below his cloak, eyeing it carefully. It had not been damaged during the storm and he sighed in relief, the sense of smugness still permeating from the collected souls. He blinked, looking to the witch and smiling lightly. "I"m fine...but I would like to know the names of the ones helped me," he said, tucking the carved bottle back into his cloak, keeping the container from sight once more. He silently berated himself for bringing it into view in the first place, but he needed to be sure. If the bottle, or any of the runes carved into it, had been broken, the souls would be freed and he would have to start his task over. And it had taken him almost 5 years to collect this many wandering spirits. He smiled at the two, looking between the winged boy and the one he assumed was the witch. "You may call me Adax, by the way."

(Gonna make this somewhat small cuz happydeath still has to reply)

Kiki smiled standing up "Alright if you need anything just ask, I'm Kiki" Kiki didn't care if anyone knew his name or not, in fact it made it easier to talk to others. Looking around he smiled again "Excuse me I have some things to finish up here" Kiki said bye and left the area.
