Oni sat up and slowly started munching on the meat she had given him. He watched curiously from the sofa as everyone went to greet the new comer. He decided to stay were he was and eat. He sipped his juice in between bites. Food was so good at the moment. It helped him feel a little better. He knew he should be helping Xanic but he just couldn't ignore the emptiness in his tummy anymore.

Dante watched the two of them for a bit before sighing and crossing his arms on the table once more. Boring. It was just some quite guy; probably homeless from the looks of that weird ass gear. Hey, he could always see if he had any interesting stories to tell about how the government is corrupt and aliens are spying on all of us. That could get a few laughs.

His interest was perked as Rain walked out of the kitchen with a bloody steak. She'd only barely cooked that thing as she was going to feed it to Oni? That's just... disgusting.

"Lazenca."

Pause for effect.

"Meat."

He really was an easy person to please.

"You?"

( Lawlawlawl. Beautiful. <3 )

((Is shadow gonna be putting profiles up. . .I get lost with peoples T^T ))

( Lazenca wouldn't be on the profiles. He's only here for a short time. =O )

Rain sat next to Oni, sprawling slightly and looking out at the others. She could have said something but all she did was smile at the new comer. She absently observed his behavior, thinking absently that he was into the whole mysterious bit. It made her chuckle and shake her head, finding it more amusing then anything. She then glanced at Oni, knowing she couldn’t have stomached such a raw steak but that was how he ate it…

Emeriya

Emeriya nodded as she opened the fridge and rummagged around.
"Burgers alright? All shes got is hamburger meat, and ive been craving em for a while"
She laughed and blushed lightly.
"Lazenca, hmm? How long do you plan on staying here?"
She pulled the meat out and started preparing it and getting the stove ready.

Oni finished the steak and the juice. He started licking his fingers making sure to get it all. He snuggles to Rain and leaned against her. He looked over at the new person some more and thought he looked cool. Oni wondered where he was from. Oni looked up at Rain and asked, "Can I take a bath?"

[[aww your not staying? :( ]]

Pre'acha'n perked up at the sight of food, almost dashing to the kitchen before remembering the newcomer. Lazenca? I've never heard a name like that before... "Hey, Rain, how did it look? Did I write out everything right?" Where are we going to find a vessel.. A life-sized fully pose-able doll would be best... Then he might be able to move around, providing we did it right.

Rain paused a moment in thought but then nodded softly, looking at the ground in thought. “You can….but Lily or someone needs to go with you okay?” She said softly, gripping his shoulder gently and smiling faintly. She was still worried but didn’t say anything of it, glancing at the others. She nodded to Emeriya, burgers sounded fine to her…

She then looked to Brendan, nodding softly. “Everything seems right… I just worry about the vessel…” She said with a sigh and shake of her head. She half worried about what Xanic would do if free….what he might do to Oni….She knew he was only hurting Oni to live himself instead of Oni, but he still worried her.

Emeriya

Emeriya started to cook the burgers and ran to the pantry to grab two bags of burger buns.
"Burgers it is then!"
She cooked them one by one and placed them on a plate for people to make their own, leaving condiments on the counter.
"Anyone want melted cheese on theirs?"
She glanced around looking for takers.

[sorry... working on graphics. i warned her i might be slow....]

"Passing through."

The answer came after a moment of hesitation... he actually had to think. But that's how it always was, wasn't it? There was hardly a place worth staying for more than a night.

Of course, it shouldn't be taken as disrespect to a certain person, place, or thing. Though Lazenca might know know exactly what he was looking for, he knew that sitting for too long in one place slowed him down. He was used to always being too late for something, just because he stopped to do this or that. He had to keep moving the moment he had the opportunity.

"If you have meat, I'll eat it raw."

Oni looked at Rain and said," Is Lukas around, or Tir? I could bathe with them." Oni spotted Dante and gave a weak smile saying, "Dante take a bath with me. . .I don't want to go alone." He looked back and Rain saying, "It's okay if Dante is with me right. I would feel weird if it was Lily . . .she's a girl."

Emeriya

Emeriya hesitated at his answer.
"Raw?...hm.."
She went back to the fridge and grabbed a steak, raw as requested, she placed it on a place and slid it to him.
"Eat up."
She smiled at him.
"Anything to drink?"

( Cause Lazzy is hawt like that. He's so hawt he can cook the meat as he chews! ;D )

Dante shivered at the thought. Raw meat. That was worse that what that Oni kid was digesting. What the Hell was up with people in this area? They were always so disgusting, freaky, or just plain weird. Why was there never a handsome normal man that wandered in?

Oni's comment struck him hard. He blinked, then looked back at the kid, then Rain. Dammit! Why did it always come down to baths with that kid! It was creepy! Dante wasn't a pedo- he detested pedos. He wasn't about to become a hypocrite because some kid got to close to him! "Sorry. I just showered last night." Well, he had to. Last night that purple haired kid had thrown cereal right in his face.

Pre'achan touched Oni's shoulder. "I need a bath, too, and we never got to it the other night. I could go with," he offered. His stomach could wait a bit, there would still be food later. "I just need clothes after, or a robe. I don't have anything."

Oni looked up at Brenden and said, "Okay that sounds good. I get weird sometimes though and do bad things so don't let me hurt you okay." He tried to stand but didn't succeed. He was still rather weak and shaky. His body and mind had gone through a lot in a short amount of time. Looking at him again Oni said quietly, "Could. . could you help me get there?"

(( How dare you deny Oni bath time!! lol))

[awww Oni-san ;-;]]

( Hey, you should have taken my offer last night! xDDD )

Lazenca almost, almost frowned at her... nearly asked if that was bad. Even humans ate near-raw meat; it was called cooking it blue. It wasn't his fault if they were culinary prudes...

"No."

Raw meat typically contained blood. Maybe later he'd stalk her for a glass of water.

In any event, after taking the plate, he went back into the main area a looked for a table that was (1) available, (2) completely unoccupied, (pi) a bit away from everyone else, and (schfifty-five) devoid of any other person.

There was no great routine in his eating. Not asking or seeking a utensil, he simply dug in two clawed fingers, collected ground meat, and began to patiently eat.

(( T^T poor poor Oni. . . there are towels and bathrobes just outside the bathouse))

"Sure," Pre'acha'n said, standing and holding holding out his hands for Oni to grab. "I'm stronger than I look, but Teach always told me it didn't matter, 'cause I'd fly away before using it." He hauled Oni up, supporting him with a little bit of effort. "Where are the baths?"
