NeoEarthPrincess: [AIM got an error, of course...]
Iruka onna no ko: [Of course.]
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I am. And you must be my dear
brother. My, you've grown since I last saw you. *Voice has
a hint of mockery and sarcasm to it, the old him*
Iruka onna no ko wants to directly connect.
Iruka onna no ko is now directly connected.
NeoEarthPrincess: [Keep going.]
Iruka onna no ko: [Oh, okay.]
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: ... *Still staring at Kuja*
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: *Frowns, doens't like Kuja's
attitude*
Iruka onna no ko: Steiner: *Doesn't either*
Iruka onna no ko: Vivi: *Too scared out of his mind to
notice*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Slightly frowning, wonders
if Kuja only wanted to come see Zidane to mock him*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: And how long has it been,
brother? *Walks forward, towards Zidane*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: ...Twenty-two years...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Blink, blink*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Stops, sounds genuine this
time* Has it?
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: *Nods*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I've been dead for twenty-two
years?
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: Speaking of that matter, how
is that you stand with us today?
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Dead...?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Slowly turns his head to look at
Garnet*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I was reborn.
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: *Blink*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: Reborn? How?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I don't know.
NeoEarthPrincess: PK III: *Bumbles in, bows*
Majesties? I don't mean to interrupt you, but Lady Freya is
here.
Iruka onna no ko: [Whoosh.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [^^]
Iruka onna no ko: [You can play Freya if you want.]
Iruka onna no ko: [You need more characters.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Uhh.. *Will probably mess her up*]
Iruka onna no ko: [*Shrugs, thinks she's messing up Vivi,
Steiner, and Garnet pretty good*]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Well.. ^^;;]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Oh, fine...]
Iruka onna no ko: [^^]
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Walks in, sees Kuja and
stops*
NeoEarthPrincess: PK III: *Walks out*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Turns his head to look at Freya*
NeoEarthPrincess: PK III: *Falls*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Looks at Freya*
Iruka onna no ko: [-.-;;;;;;;;]
NeoEarthPrincess: PK III: *Gets up and rushes out*
NeoEarthPrincess: [^^;]
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: ...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Smiles*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: Freya, don't freak.
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Blinks slowly*
Iruka onna no ko: [Wanna play Vivi too? *Doesn't like
Vivi*]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Awww.. *Glomps her ViVi bishie*
Sure...]
Iruka onna no ko: [Yey.]
NeoEarthPrincess: ViVi: *Standing near Steiner, thinks
he may help protect himself*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Looks at Zidane again* So you
are thirty-eight years old, brother?
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane; *Nods, still standing*
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: *Nervously sits down again,
removing her grasp on Zidane's arm*
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Keeps her eyes on Kuja,
slowly walks toward the thrones*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: ...You're older than I am.
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: I am?
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Small smile*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Grampa... *Refuses to
laugh*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Yes. I am twenty-two years old.
I haven't yet reached the age that I was when I left this
planet.
Iruka onna no ko: [LOL]
NeoEarthPrincess: [^^;;]
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: *Swallows* Twenty-two...
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: But...there's supposed to be an
eight-year difference...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Shrugs* I've changed.
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: You sure have...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Smiles*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: What happened to you...?
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: And who is he? *Points at
Andrew*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Blinks*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: He? *Turns to look at Andrew
and smiles genuinely, no sarcasm present at all*
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Looks at Andrew for the first
time, raises her spear*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I was reborn on another planet.
Planet Earth.
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: Wait a minute, you were born?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Well...I'm not exactly sure.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: As with all persons, human and
Genome alike, the first couple of years of life are not
recorded in the memory.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: But, as far as I know, I was
reborn. I grew up much as I did on Terra. Alone.
Different. I still had my tail.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: ...Please tell the Burmecian to
lower her spear, or it will run through her stomach before
she can blink.
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: *Looks at Freya*
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: ...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Frowns, can't help himslef*
Kuja...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Looking at Freya sternly and
disapprovingly*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Doesn't answer Andrew*
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Eyeing Andrew*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: *Looks at Andrew*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: Just as the Knight said...Kuja
listens to him...
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Lowers her spear slightly*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: ...Thank you.
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Doesn't respond to him,
glares at him*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Looks at Zidane, not
acknowledging the glare*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I grew up in an orphanage.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Listening intently, learning
about Kuja's past*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: People who weren't related to me
at all took care of me until I was old enough to live on my
own. I left the orphange at age eighteen.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: My life immediately got better
after I left.
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: *Listens to him intently*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I met a girl...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: ...
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: *Information is conflicting
now*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: She...uh...she became my first
best friend and my first...significant other.
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: I'd like to meet her...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Looks down, averting his
eyes from Kuja*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Smiles* You would get alone
well with her.
Iruka onna no ko: alone = along
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Looks at Zidane*
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: *Frowning*
Iruka onna no ko: Steiner: *Looking at Kuja
judgementally*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: We broke up.
NeoEarthPrincess: ViVi: *Slightly behind Steiner, not as
afraid of him as before for some reason*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Swallows*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: And...I found another.
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: Ahhh...the weird
Genome-look-alike.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Small smile, eyes still
averted from Kuja*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I have found myself capable of
loving another. Loving selflessly, even. You would never
have guessed that I could do that, could you, Zidane?
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: *Doesn't answer*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: None of you.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Small frown*
NeoEarthPrincess: ViVi: *Doesn't know who Kuja's
talking about, blink blink*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Smiles* Well, it's true. I can
do it. *Chuckles* I'm told I do it well.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: My new, current, and future love
stands behind me, probably red in the face. *Chuckles*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Refuses to chuckle, is quite
red, grinning*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: *Looks behind Kuja to, indeed,
Andrew, who is, indeed, red in the fae*
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Looks back at Andrew*
NeoEarthPrincess: ViVi: *Blinks and looks at the stranger
behind Kuja*
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: And of what species is he,
Kuja? Did you create him, too? To cure your lonliness?
Perhaps you kidnapped him and brainwashed him, like you
did so many others.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Looks at Garnet, glaring*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: *Frowns, looking at Garnet*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I did not create him. I did not
kidnap him, I did not brainwash him.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: He is human. Just like you.
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Raises her spear slightly, in
case Kuja decided to take his anger out on her Queen*
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: *Suddenly very, very afraid of
Kuja*
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: *Made incredibly nervous by
his glare*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Just like you.
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Moves more in front of
Garnet, spear poised*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: And should I accuse you of
loving an alien, canary? You have no right to throw such
accusations at me, not in the position you stand.
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: ...
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: ...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Frown weakens*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I love him, he loves me.
Perhaps you throw your accusations because we are both
male.
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: ...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: ... *Becomes red again,
looks down*
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Frowning at Kuja*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: If that is wrong, then why were
you aloud to marry your Genome love? He is different than
you.
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: It doesn't matter that he is
different, I can choose who I want to love.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Frowns, looks up again*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: As can I. I chose him. He is
different, only because he is the same.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: We two are different than you.
Does that mean we don't get the same rights and privilages
you do?
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: ...
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Continues frowning at Kuja*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Stops talking and looks down at
the floor, completely ignoring Freya*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Putting his thoughts together*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: ...Any other objections?
NeoEarthPrincess: ViVi: *Is not behind Steiner anymore*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: ...
Iruka onna no ko: Steiner: *Hasn't noticed Vivi's
absence* ...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Hearing nothing, he looks at
Zidane again*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: *Keeps eye contact with Kuja*
...If you were born on this other planet, what are you doing
here? And how'd you get here?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I simply created a portal similar
to the one that linked Gaia to Terra. It could only be
created while I was in a Trance state, and when I was, I had
reason to hide my love away from the danger that was on
Earth.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Remembers what
happened, eyes avert to the floor again*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: *Frowns slightly at mention of
Trance*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I came back looking for him,
using up nearly all of my energy.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I have yet to regain all the
energy I need to return to Earth.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Smiles* So I will be here for a
while.
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: And you are welcome here,
Kuja.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Considers this* Thank you.
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: *Looks at Zidane, not sure if
that was a good thing to say or not*
Iruka onna no ko: Steiner: *Would have advised against
it*
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Frowns and speaks up*
Perhaps you should ask the Queen before you invit people
into her castle. Especially if those people are enemies...
*Contines to frown at Kuja*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Frowns at Freya*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Looks at Freya*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: He is to be considered my
personal guest and should be treated as such. Not as an
enemy.
NeoEarthPrincess: ViVi: *Scared of Kuja again, steps
closer to Steiner*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Eyes narrow and the spear flies
out of her hand*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: ...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Doesn't like Freya's attitude*
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Turns and frowns at Zidane,
turns and looks at where her spear flew off to*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Kuja!
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Frowns*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Drops the spear and it clatters
to the floor*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Frowning* Give it back to
her, please.
NeoEarthPrincess: [*Giggles*]
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: *Finds this very peculiar*
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Looks at Andrew, then her
gaze goes back to Kuja*
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: *Very uneasy right now*
Iruka onna no ko: Steiner: *Has one hand on the hilt of
this sword*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Smiles as the spear lifts into the
air again*
NeoEarthPrincess: ViVi: *Fingering his staff, hopes he
doesn't have to use it*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Nicely, Kuja...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Stares at the spear and it starts
to vibrate strangely*
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: ... *Gaze darts between
Andrew and Kuja, rests on Kuja*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: *Doesn't want to make Kuja
any more angry that he already is*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Frowning*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *The spear continues to vibrate,
getting worse*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Walks toward Kuja*
NeoEarthPrincess: ViVi: *Eyes grow wide, or get
brighter, or whatever they do, thinks Andrew's crazy*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *It finally snaps in half, blinks
once, as if pressure is relieved from him, somehow*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Frowns* Kuja!
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Sneers at Freya*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Half way to Kuja from
where he was*
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Eyes are wide* My spear!
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: ...
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: *Trembling*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Sighs and looks at Kuja*
I'm sorry, Miss...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Continues to Kuja*
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: My Spear!
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Drops the spear onto the floor
again*
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Looks at Zidane* Your guest
and not an enemy? Really?
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *About 10 feet from Kuja,
stops*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: ...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Frowns* I'm sorry, Miss.
Really, I am.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Sounds upset/annoyed*
Kuja, I'll be outside. *Turns and starts for outside*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Doesn't offer any arguements in
defence of himself*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Sighs*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: ...
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Frowning, walks over to her
spear and picks it up*
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: *Turns to Steiner and motions
for him to come up to her*
NeoEarthPrincess: ViVi: ...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Eyes Freya critically*
Iruka onna no ko: Steiner: *Steps up so he's level with
her*
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Tries to put her spear back
together*
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: *Whispers something in his
ear*
NeoEarthPrincess: ViVi: *Instantly steps closer to
Steiner*
Iruka onna no ko: Steiner: *Nods and resumes his
position*
NeoEarthPrincess: ViVi: *Doesn't move*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Looks at Zidane again*
Brother, it seems that I am no longer welcome in your
court. If you wish to speak to me, you will have to find me
on your own. I will not return here.
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: *Sighs and looks at the floor*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: Alright.
NeoEarthPrincess: Freya: *Grumbling, has given up on
her spear*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Bows again* Good day, your
majesties.
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: Thanks for coming, Kuja.
NeoEarthPrincess: ViVi: *Thinks Kuja's going to blow him
up for some reason, steps behind Steiner*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: My pleasure. But I will not be
here for long. I wish to buy supplies in your market
peacefully and then I plan on returning home. I will not stay
on Gaia.
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: Supplies? What sort of
supplies?
NeoEarthPrincess: [Bombs! XD]
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Potions, Ethers, the basics.
NeoEarthPrincess: [^^;]
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: *Looks skeptical*
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: You won't be smuggling black
mages into Alexandria?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Frowns* No, I won't be.
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: ...
NeoEarthPrincess: ViVi: ...
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: Brother?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Looks at Zidane*
Iruka onna no ko: Garnet: *Surprised at hearing Zidane
call Kuja "brother"*
Iruka onna no ko: Zidane: *Stands up and walks down
the steps*
