Jordan managed to barely react beyond a recoil to the poke, seeing as how she saw this one coming. "Why thank you, I try. I see yours haven't made much progress, letting me escape like that." She reached for the finished cone being held out by the ice-cream girl and took it in her hands, watching as the girl took another cone to scoop out Shige's ice cream.

[ Jordan's like me in that she says the same uber-lame things I would say -__- ]

Dannie blushed when Jordan asked her if she would get some ice cream. With a little hesitation, she asked the cashier for some vanilla ice cream in a cup. It would be such a waste if it was on a cone since Dannie really didn't like the taste of cones. She just liked the taste of ice cream. Again, being in a military family, ice cream is also a luxury far beyond reach when trapped in a mansion filled with soldiers and influential socialites.

(So where ARE we going next? More plot development????)

(Lol that reminds me, I should ask for Aves and Whit's Levels to be bumped up. I think Aves can be a legit 6 now, but Whit may be stuck middling around a 4 or 5, I have yet to decide.)

[ Haha, Whit. Anyways, want me to change it? ]

(Haha sure, I suppose so long as Whit is leaving I might as well make him strong, so he can be a 5.He can get stronger later. XD Ah they both need to get a year older too.)

Somewhere far, far away...

THUMP. Rei hit the back of the seat in front of her, which just happened to be the driver's seat, with her foot.

...

THUMP. Bull's grip on the wheel tightened. THUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHU "REI!!"

...

THUMP

Katsu sighed and cracked an eye open. His passenger seat was reclined, head turned towards the inside of their van with an easy view of Rei in the back seat. "Hey Rei." Rei turned to him with a wicked happy smile on her face. "What's up Kitty?" Katsu lifted a finger and a small spark crossed over to the girl. Rei almost immediately fell over backwards, subdued for the trip. Katsu relaxed again and closed his eye, this time turning so he faced the window.

"Katsu...you really shouldn't do that whenever you feel like it." A rather small voice came from behind Katsu's reclined chair; the small figure it belonged to, fit easily, even in the small space. "She was being a nuisance," Katsu replied tiredly. The boy in back lapsed into silence. "Get your rest, Spooky Boy. You're going to need it. Hey, we there yet?"

"No. Ten more miles at least." Bull glanced to the side as Katsu drifted back off to sleep, glad that he had gotten Rei to stop bothering him for the time being. Such a long car ride was maddening with her in the back. We're going to where you grew up...Zaias.

Sirens wailed in the distance. They drowned out the noise of the roaring fire that gorged itself on the trashy two-story house. The houses interior could still be seen faintly through the smoke; ratty curtains and trash filled hallways were back lit by the flames, the stench of burning garbage wafting outwards through the blown out windows and wide open door.

The house was alone in it's decrepit appearance, a single glance would be enough to tell that the owners hadn't cared about maintenance, especially in comparison to the other, more well kept houses on the street.The neglect was the perfect reflection of of the people who lived inside, and unfortunately, was just one more in a list of things they had failed to take care of.

As the first flashing lights to arrive danced off of the houses all around, people began coming out in night gowns and PJ's to investigate the scene. They all approached slowly, as if not having woken yet from their dreams. The flames cast their shadows on the pavement behind them. And closest to the flame stood two silhouettes, so far taken into their nightmare that they made no attempt to run from the flames, saved only by the grace of the people come to try -hopelessly- to save the house from destruction. All they could do was contain the monstrous fire.

A lone van turned onto the highway, the occupants all, save one, staring up at the starry sky, each alone with their thoughts. Whatever they may be.
