(i got nothing from the lake meditation i did for two days.. )

Day 5

(A.P. 80/100)

Angelus woke up and stretched, like usual mornings. He grabbed a new shirt and put it on as he went outside.
What a nice morning.. he thought. He went to the village menu and looked at the training locations. He decided to parkour over fences, hurdles... (etc..) in the village.

He went to the north end of the village, while cracking his knuckles and stretching.

[Thee Pie Man]

Shiro looks to Nema and gives her a gentle smile in return.

Hello again Nema, pleasure to see you again as always. he says softly and looks at Chiyoko.
and Hello Chiyoko. Nice to see you as well. he says in the same gentle tone, slowly he bends down and picks up the paper rose holding it lightly in his hand so he doesn't crush it. He felt a bit awkward, between the two but he didn't let it show on his face. He gives them both another smile and twirls the rose in his hand. The way the petals were formed with a unique design let it spin without resistance to the air. Making a small sound as it rotates in his hands.
Silly rose, doesn't want to stay put..he trails off with a gentle laugh and shrugs.

[Taria]

Hiro and Angelus travel towards the village together, traffic definately seems to be picking up today. Decorations start getting hung around all about as Lilia and Selene arrive.
Angelus tries to run and jump around before getting an evil glare from the tavern maiden as she sets up decorations.

[Thanatos]

(A.P. 60/100)

After parkouring around the village (and getting an evil glare from a maiden..) Angelus decided to go to the hot springs.

[Thaedael]

[90/100 interacting with Shiro <3 and the third wheel at Village]

Shiro fumbled his way into the conversation, a small origami rose landing between Chiyoko and Nema. It was an art several thousands of years older than the three of them combined. The gentle folds of the rose sent a deluge of memories, breaking the mental damn he had constructed in his head of events long passed. A winter's day, in the halls of the family, he remembered his mother, hair white as snow. They spent the afternoon folding paper cranes.

"Hello again Nema, pleasure to see you again as always, and Hello Chiyoko. Nice to see you as well." he bowed down so low it seem he belonged to the floor. "Silly rose, doesn't want to stay put..." he says with a gentle laugh.

Chiyoko looked down the length of his nose to Shiro, his formalities always so rigid. "Hello Shiro, I wanted to apologize for brushing you off the other day." It wasn't as smooth as he would liked to have put it, but it summed up the brunt of his sentiments. He ran his hands through the silver white hair parted to the side of his face, before stopping to rub the bump. He was surprised he survived so hard a bare-handed blow as he did. "That's a nice paper rose, did you make it yourself?" he asked with intrigue that the man before him would have any affinity with the arts.

[MiscChaos]

Lilia looks around the village with a slightly confused yet amazed look on her face. "I must've forgotten about some festival today. My penance for not visiting the village often enough." She says to herself, purposefully ignoring most of the males in the village already, though she does give Hiro a small wave. Then she almost facepalms as she remembers the occasion, the sight of the males reminding her of the season.

[Taria]

Angelus sees no one at the hotsprings.

Nema smiles letting the two men talk. (distracted)

[Hikari Dragomir]

Selene walks into the village with an amused looked on her face. She looks at all the bright colors and stuff hung over the place. "what is going on? What are we celebarating?" She asks having completely forgotten that it was a special date. "Anyway, it is time to have some fun~!" She says as she heads over to some of the stands. She sees Hiro at some point and nods to him as a courtesy

[Thanatos]

(Angelus forever alone in the hotspringss.. A.P. 60/100)

Angelus took off his clothes and left it beside the nearest hot spring. Wow.. I thought the springs would be crowded cause of the festival... Well.. at least I can meditate in peace.... Angelus thought as he quietly slipped in the water.It was the perfect temperature,not too hot, or cold. He closed his eyes as he went into a meditating position, thinking of what to do, until Daniel interrupted his thoughts.

(Daniel and Angelus talking in their heads.. >_> )

Daniel : Hey! Let me have a turn, you've been hogging for 2 days now! It's my turn to have fun...

Angelus : How should I know if you're gonna rampage on this festival?

Daniel : ....... I won't, don't worry..

Angelus : Alright, as long as you won't hurt anybody or anything at all. I'll give you the whole day. Give or Take?

Daniel : grr...... Fine...

*Angelus lets Daniel to take over the body*

FINALLY! He let's me take over longer than 20 mins. Daniel thought as left the springs while putting his clothes on.
He went back to the village and smiled. His black eyes glimmered as he looked around, looking for an interesting, and yet challenging stand.

[Thee Pie Man]

(AP 75, interacting with Nema and Chiyoko, apparently he's decided to apologize. Gotta kill the imposter >_>)

Chiyoko seemed to inspect Shiro, at least that'ss what it seemed to him as he responded with an apology "Hello Shiro, I wanted to apologize for brushing you off the other day."He said slightly bluntly but still the feeling of sincerity seemed to be there, he parted his hair with his hand and rubbed a spot for a few moments after stopping. but it summed up the brunt of his sentiments. He ran his hands through the silver white hair parted to the side of his face, before stopping to rub the bump. "That's a nice paper rose, did you make it yourself?" he seemed to ask intrigued at the fact.

Smiling softly he nods at Chiyoko then gives Nema an apologetic look for interrupting.
Yes..I made it, the inspiration is over there, he pokes his head towards the direction towards Lilia, not daring to look at her, she was some distance away. It seems the day he ran away from her he didn't keep close to his heart though, in fact it didn't even seem to exist anymore on the man's mind. The rose reminded him of that, it's graceful descent from his sash was the reminder of many things.
She's much like a rose. he continues as he strokes the petals almost seeming lost in thought before looking up and smiling at them both.
She has thorns in some areas, I sense to her a lot more past that. He says as big smile splays across his face before turning smaller again as if embarrassed. "If you treat a rose bush with tenderness you can still get pricked, it isn't the rose's fault but the nature of the plant's alluring smell and special form that seems to paradox it's beauty with a painful point. He says nodding at his own words, not because they made sense but because of the meaning. He tries to clarify as he continues.
You can't always get what you want by being tender. That doesn't mean you can't always be tender, and it certainly doesn't change the fact that sometimes things need more then just tenderness...He trails off before casting them a curious and amused smile, he couldn't really comment on it because he was to shy to really say anything. Shaking his head with a cocky smile he shrugs and as he takes another look around, he notices the increased activity. Decorations of masterful craftsmanship being displayed on buildings, it seemed like all the roofs were lined with wind chimes as well. Made out of something he didn't recognize. He continued to watch the set up, colorful bobbles of different shapes and sizes being placed around the village in artistic manners, for a moment he was transfixed before turning to the two, he suspected Chiyoko had found his spirit but didn't say a word just offered him a nod that could have been perceived several different ways.

I am going to go help set up the festivities, I don't really know what it's about but hey. I think I should help because honestly this world has given me-us-all of us more then we have given it. I appreciate it more then our own Chiyoko. I mean.. I can't explain it.. He trails off, having no way to explain himself, Riko's lessons and Kikyo's lessons had changed his perception greatly and made him rethink many things, the domain's beauty itself had made him a more open person. He couldn't deny that, and every time he saw a spirit, or a new flower or anything he felt stronger and more confident of himself. He turns to leave but turns on his heel faster then he or anyone seeing the motion probably would have expected. Offering Chiyoko another handshake. I am sorry as well, we just started to even begin to know each other and I was trying to force something that couldn't be forced.
Friends or not. I know there's more to you, although I never held anything against you, I accept your apology.

[Taria]

Riko and Kikyo arrive to the village together. Kikyo holds a large box of spiritual decorations from the temple and gives Riko orders and where to place them.

[talin]

[95/100]
Hiro came to the village looking to train but when he noted all the festivities he decided that it would probably be more appropriate to try and partake in the the event. He noticed two of the men who came through the portal with him talking to the bat girl from a few days ago and was going to head over until he saw Lilia waving and then face palming like she had just done something stupid. He pretended not to notice right away but causally headed her way as if he had no particular destination in mind. He also notices Kikyo and Riko enter the village and setting up decorations but continues on his course.

[MiscChaos]

Lilia's no fool. She notices Hiro's slow, careful movement towards her general area, it'd be presumptuous to assume he's actually headed for her, but she makes no effort to move away, instead taking an interest in some of the nearby decorations. It's rare she sees so much beauty in one place. It'd be a shame and a dishonor to those who made them not to appreciate them while she's here.

[talin]

Hiro notices Lilia observing the various decorations that adorned the village and stopped a casual distance away. The decor was quite nice and he took a moment to admire them himself before speaking. "I trust you've been well since we last spoke." His gaze took in the preparations for the celebrations before turning to her with a polite smile.

[MiscChaos]

"Quite." Lilia says, not even looking up from the decorations to answer. Just to show she's been expecting him and that he hasn't surprised her or anything to that effect. Surprising Lilia can be... painful. "I thank you again for your aid in searching for Heiwa." she says as she turns and bows in greeting.

[talin]

[95/100 AP talking with Lilia (tsundere much?)]
Hiro is a little taken aback by her rather irritated response but figures she may have been irked by the presence of the other guys being nearby. She finishes looking at the decorations before bowing and thanking him for his aid last time. He decides pursuing the source of her irritation would only agitate her further. "Your welcome but it was no problem." he wasn't completely sure due to her reaction but he thought she had seen him coming her way. "I trust I didn't startle you then? I wouldn't have had been so casual about it but I didn't want to give people the wrong impression."

[MiscChaos]

Lilia gives Hiro a confused look. She didn't think she'd done anything to cause his guarded response, but something must've been lost in communication to have warranted it. "No, I haven't been startled. I saw you coming quite a while away." she says, still sporting that confused look

[Thanatos]

(A.P. 55/100 )
After looking around, Daniel finds Selene looking at some stands..

(Daniel talking to Angelus in his head... >_>)

Daniel : Crap... If she confuses me with you, we're gonna get in big trouble...

Angelus : So... you want to switch back?

Daniel : Yea, but I get to take over tomorrow..

Angelus : Sure...... >_>

*They switch...*

Angelus walked up to Selene's back. "Hey, Selene.." he smiled as his eyes shined in the light. "What are you playing/doing?"

[talin]

Hiro wasn't quite sure how to respond so he simply changed the subject. "I'm glad, anyway, I'm curious about what the village is celebrating today. I hadn't seen any signs of it nor heard any talk of it it my brief time here and now they're suddenly putting up decorations."

[MiscChaos]

Seeing as Hiro was going to ignore the misunderstanding entirely, Lilia moves on as well, figuring it'd be a waste of time to dwell on it even though she really wants to figure out where the confusion began. "Well, it's an event so normal to the village, you wouldn't have heard about it before it happened because they would've been no talk. I've only just remembered the event myself, it being so rare that I enter the village." Lilia says, being careful to watch her tone, keeping it neutral to avoid another such misunderstanding.
