a new GKND roleplay

[ChyukiPastukiSuzuki]

Dengeki gulped the water desperately. The hydration allowed him to speak and his eyes had stopped producing the pink liquid. He now could speak, though his voice was still much more quiet than usual. "Here. Give this to him." He handed the other container to Vibe to give to his brother. The older boy stood with some difficulty, and staggered towards the door of the engine room, keeping his hand against the wall for support. Before he left, he turned to Vibe and muttered. "I'll be right back." And stumbled through the door.

He could now hear the voices, though one unfamiliar female voice could be heard over the others. Strangely enough, it was not Ynda, who usually was the loudest girl on the ship, especially when angry. It wasn't long before he saw her. Her green hair was dancing behind her as she threw punches at Etoile. He started to make his way to them, using the objects around him as support so that he wouldn't collapse again.

[Sadie]

A gutteral snarl tore through the younger girl's throat as silvery limbs wrapped around her own limbs, slowing her down until most of her throws couldn't reach Etoile anymore. Burning orange eyes whipped around to look at who was holding her hostage, and the gaze narrowed.

"Let me go!" Her whip of a voice lashed out angrily, indignant at the intrusion. "Let me go, I'm not finished with him!" Bitingly, she growled and tried to yank her arm away, but Nalo's grip apparently held fast enough that she was unable to do so, although she kept struggling.

Etoile took advantage of the opportunity and stood back up, his hair a disarray of horrendously thrown curls. He took a few breaths to calm himself, getting a grip on the situation, and then he faced his sister, who was still fuming at the indignity that Nalo was putting her through by holding her arms.

Without a word, he wrapped his arms around the girl and enfolded her against him, remembering the way that the small frame fit snugly into his own. It was an attempt to soothe the raging beast, but it appeared to work, and Etoile could feel her anger melting away. Tala buried herself against him as best she could, and her furious words turn to sniffles.

"Don't ever do that again." Although still upset, her voice was much gentler now, and it carried with it a sense of compassion and affection. "You had me so worried."

"I'll try," he promised, running a hand over the curve of her head and brushing her curly antennae out of her face. He gave her an expression that seemed to say "now be good" and nodded to Nalo to let her know that it was okay to let Tala go, and to thank her silently for her assistance. Then he turned his sister around so that she was facing most of the room.

A disgruntled expression crossed her face, but she knew what he wanted and obeyed, announcing herself to the room. "Tala Gandmade, Numbuh 2773, Specialist in Offense and Combat." As if that wasn't obvious from her previous pounding. "Etoile's little sister."

"What are you even doing here?" A bite of concern had creeped into his tone as Etoile realized that his younger sister was now present for their dangerous mission.

The girl scoffed, holding her chin high with an air of arrogance. "You're not going on a mission without me, flashlight, got it?"

Etoile sighed, but had no time to argue, for Tala kept right on talking as though she didn't care for what he had to say, anyway. "And that's Masuaro. He's some kind of debonair gentleman bodyguard for the Princess something-or-other, and he's not very fun to talk to." The girl quickly pulled a face at the other alien that had entered with her. "But he, err. . . let me use his ship, so it's all good."

[RohaHat]

Now presented with a beaker half full of water, Vibe looked down at her near dead boyfriend once again, who was at least still conscious. Deciding it would be easier for both of them, she carefully lifted him up with one arm so he was sitting with his head against her elbow, and held the cup close to his lips, letting him drink from it as he wanted to with only small movements necessary. Even when he did recuperate, she hoped he didn't try to move straight away like his brother; she'd much rather he stayed there, where she could watch over him for the moment, since neither of the twins were all that stable.

Having done her duty in protecting her friend, Nalo drifted backwards and moved away once again, just examining and evaluating the newcomers. She couldn't help but be intrigued by both of them, but especially the bodyguard figure.

[Ellie]

Milo-Lee smiled and chuckled to herself as Tala introduced herself as Etoile's sister. She figered as much, she treated her own brothers that way from time to time. She already liked the girl, so she sprinted over to introduce herself. However, befor she got the chance, she introduce the boy who'd entered moments ago as a bodyguard. Not just a bodyguard, a body guard for a princess. She stopped dead in her tracks, had her older siblings sent him? Had they somehow found her? No, couldn't be..... They thought she was dead, killed by the Raiders... She continued toward Tala, "Hi, I'm Milo-Lee. I like your style," she added with a giggle-purr, "But save the fighting for the...." She paused a second, serching for a word that didn't exist in Quesera, "Threat," That was close but not totally right.

[Jas]

Distraction arrived in the form of an introduction and Nebulos was grateful for it. He was glad he had an excuse to look to somewhere else, rather than having to avert his gaze from the taller boy. However, he couldn't help but glance back at him every now and then, as if he had to make sure he was still staying in one spot.
Of course, Nebulos wouldn't be Nebulos if a smile was very far off his face. And so, even though still slightly apprehensive because of the other alien's presence, he looked up at the other yellow alien, smiling wide.

"I can tell, you look like Etoile a whole lot!"

He said, antennae flickering spontaneously in greeting. He blushed a bit, putting a finger to his mouth, slightly embarrassed.

"But I guess that's kinda obvious..."

He said more to himself than anyone else, adding a little chuckle after having said this, his other three arms tucked behind his back once more. He scratched the back of his head, overall looking quite adorable. The little boy looked back up, eyes squinting joyfully.
His eyes widened a bit when she suddenly pointed over to the other stranger, who -other than herself- hadn't introduced himself yet. But Tala did it for him. And it rather startled Nebulos she pulled such a face at him, something he wouldn't have ventured to do.

"And that's Masuaro. He's some kind of debonair gentleman bodyguard for the Princess something-or-other, and he's not very fun to talk to."

At this moment, some change was more noticeable in the boy -now identified as Masurao-'s demeanor, though it wasn't a lot. The back of his mane trilled a bit and his wandering green gaze now traveled over the girl who'd called out his name. Ever so subtly, once could discern a slight eye-twitch, but most of his face remained, as before, emotionless. Even when she pulled such a face at him.
Stoically, he turned his head, closing his eyes, looking as if he was in deep thought.

"I am not debonair."

He said. Just like his face, his voice revealed no emotion whatsoever. It was like he was simply confirming a statement. He might as well could have been saying the earth is round. His voice was slightly deep and a tad hoarse, as if he didn't use it much. It sounded a tad mysterious, much as the rest of his posterior.

"The rest is true, however."

He continued. Every time he said something, it surprised Nebulos a bit, though he couldn't really tell why that was.
Masurao reopened his eyes. His gaze now found Etoile and it lingered on him for a bit. He glanced back at Tala, back to Etoile and then away from them. As if he were confirming that Etoile was, indeed, her brother.

"I am looking for Princess Niji."

He resolved to silence once again, as if every word he spoke was a rare gem. It appeared he preferred to skip straight to the point, which made Nebulos realize it was him who'd been speaking over the intercom earlier. Well, that much was obvious, as Tala's personality seemed much more outspoken than Masurao's.

[Renee]

Wooo!! *looks at all the posts* Time for me to catch up!
---------------------------------


"They're at the docking bay!"

"Let's go!"

Niji turned her head from the radars and weaponry to see both Etolie and Nebulos running out of the room and down the corridor. She sighed with relief. "At least it didn't have to come to physical violence." She said to no one in particular. As she pressed several and placing the various guns and cannons on standby, she heard shouting coming from what seemed to be the docking bays. Her eyes widened in shock as she whirled around in her seat. "Oh, boy! Perhaps I had spoken too soon!" And with that final thought, she flew out of her seat and toward the docking bays to see about the situation. Upon her arrival she saw a girl, who had the appearance similar to Etolie's except she sported dark green hair which was placed in a low ponytail, orange-ish eyes, a white and black shirt with brown pants and a black belt. The girl was hysterical with anger, her arms flailing about.

"YOU ARE SO DEAD YOU FLASHLIGHT!" It looked as if all of her anger was directed toward Etolie. "YOU COULD HAVE KILLED YOURSELF! WE SAW YOU ON THE RADAR ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE SHIP WITH THOSE ASTEROIDS AND YOU AND THAT OTHER GIRL AND THEN YOU FREAKING COLLAPSED AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!"The multicolored Princess scoffed a bit at that statement, "Well then if you saw what was going on then why didn't you...I don't know, offer us some help." She thought to herself, with a roll of her eyes. Niji then noticed that the girl began pounding her fists against Etolie's skin, as Etolie ducked in an attempt to protect himself. She then began to run after Etolie furiously.

"I'M GOING TO STRANGLE YOU, GLOWSTICK, YOU CAN BET ON IT!"

As Niji's eyes followed the running girl, someone else caught her attention. It was a male, but he was not loud like the girl, in fact quite the opposite; he was quiet and his expression still, like one of the statues that decorated her palace courtyards back home. She could barely see his bright green eyes as they silently observed the room. She wondered if this boy was a mute like her friend Nalo and communicated through his writings. Then, in an instance she and the green eyed boy locked eyes. Niji tried to look away from his intense stare, but found she couldn't for some reason. Slightly unnerved, as it was often considered rude to blatantly stare at a Princess, Niji gave a small and polite wave to the boy. The boy did not respond, but continued to stare. The multicolored Princess slowly placed her arm at her side and finally looked away. She did not know the boy, she knew that for a fact. But deep in her mind she began to wonder if this quiet boy knew her somehow.

"I am looking for Princess Niji."

At the sound of her name, Niji snapped out of her thoughts and raised her hand. "Um, yes, I am Princess Niji..." She confirmed with a nod. She blushed slightly. Though the boy's expressionless face was unnerving, she had to admit... He was quite handsome.

[Sadie]

"It's nice to meet you guys!"

A transformation had taken a hold of the smaller girl. Now that she wasn't worrying over her brother, she actually seemed somewhat. . . pleasant. What a surprise.

Like Etoile, she seemed knowledgeable of her planet's manners, and she suddenly swept both Milo-Lee and Nebulos a smooth curtsy. "Don't worry. Fighting is reserved for either my brother or the enemies." Her smirk at Milo-Lee made Etoile roll her eyes, and he gripped her upper arm and leaned down to whisper in her ear.

After a few seconds of whispering, the girl looked displeased. "Alright, ALRIGHT." Pulling away from him and making sure to stick a dark blue tongue at him, Tala turned away from Etoile and quickly dismissed herself from the other two with another curtsy. "Flashlight says that I need to go be polite, if you'll please excuse me."

Slowly approaching Nalo, the girl gave a tentative smile, full of her yellow teeth and blue tongue. Her words were spoken carefully, as though she was making sure that her response was alright. "I'm very sorry for. . . fighting you. My brother's kind of stupid sometimes, so I worry about him a lot. More than I should, he says. And I didn't mean for you to have to get in the middle of that. For that, I apologize." With a curtsy, she threw a look over her shoulder at Etoile, but he shook his head and gestured again at Masuaro.

Sighing, Tala nodded, and practically pranced over to the bodyguard, stopping only when she was right next to him. She seemed to delight in making him uncomfortable, for she propped an arm on his shoulder and leaned against it with a huge grin. "Hey, dude. You are too debonair, so stop arguing. Anyway, thanks for letting me catch a ride. It was super kind of you, and the tea party was a blasting amount of fun!"

Of course, there had been no tea party.

But her eyes were watching him, hoping to rile him up enough to get a slight amount of emotion out of him.

[ChyukiPastukiSuzuki]

Unagi drank the water slowly. He was still tired as an effect from pushing his body energy into the engine and wanted nothing more than to sleep. When the beaker was empty, he set it down on the ground beside Vibe and licked his lips. "Thank you." He sat up and looked at Vibe, brushing the hair out of his eyes. The usual bright excitement in them was replaced with a calm expression. "Is there anything on my face?" Bringing a hand to his cheek, he tried to wipe of the residue of the liquid that had slid down just minutes before.

After hearing Tala's introduction, Dengeki spoke. He had finally reached the siblings and was now standing next to Tala. "Hey Curly," He spoke to Etoile with a smile. "You never mentioned how cute she is." The words came slowly and softly, but the flirtatious tone was present. He smiled at Tala and spoke with more dignity. "I apologize for my current state, but I am glad that you have come to grace us with your presence." He then brought his voice down to a whisper. "You're waaaaaaaaaaaaaay cuter than him." He nodded towards Etoile with a smile.

[RohaHat]

Blinking and glanced from Etoile to his sister and back, Nalo wasn't exactly sure how to respond, since she couldn't verbally accept the apology, and wasn't sure what the girl would make of it. So, somewhat awkwardly, she just shook her head and smiled at her, hoping to get the message across. It was no big deal; no blood, no foul.

Vibe peered down at her boyfriends face to check for any residue of that foul liquid. "Not really... well you're a bit smudgy." Using some of the water which seemed to be on both of them, thanks to Cyril's bucket manoeuvre, she managed to wipe the rest of the goop off of the boy's face. But then, quite suddenly, she pulled him into a hug, her arms wrapping tightly around his body. The girl had been incredibly worried by the twin's ordeal, but because of her usually level-headed nature, she hadn't let that get in the way of her duties as an operative. But now he was okay, and she couldn't hear anymore dangerous commotion outside, she felt it was okay for her to let him know she was concerned.

[Jas]

"Um, yes, I am Princess Niji..."

Upon hearing this, almost immediately, the navy boy's head snapped to the side, his mane waving behind him. One could discern -again, ever so subtly- a slight rise of the eyebrow. Not in a mocking manner, more as one in interest. His eyes were locked onto the multicoloured girl, but he was forced to look away when something suddenly distracted him. A prod in the shoulder.
Just as fast, Masurao's head jerked back to the other side, where he found Tala, her arm resting comfortably on his shoulder. As before, he just stared at her a bit, letting her comment slide over him, face revealing nothing.
Then after a few seconds, he did the slightest of shrugs, making the yellow alien's arm fall of his shoulder pad. Choosing not to reply, he made a gesture that indicated he made to turn around, but was held against it, when suddenly...

"Anyway, thanks for letting me catch a ride. It was super kind of you, and the tea party was a blasting amount of fun!"

This made him falter. Much more noticeable this time, the boy's verdant eyes widened, pupils shrinking slightly, mane trilling. Though it was hardly visible beneath his blue fur, a red hue rose up to his cheeks. If Masurao has some way of showing shock or surprise, this was probably it.
Eye twitching once again, he snapped his head around once more, eying the green-haired girl.

"What are you--! That's not--"

Nebulos found it rather unusual the see this intimidating creature suddenly stumble over his sentences. Despite his slight shift in demeanor, the alien had not raised his voice, but seemed more baffled, though it wasn't so expressive.
And Nebulos was having an even harder time picturing someone like Masurao having tea parties. Which he guessed probably wasn't true, but the mental image of it made him hide a laugh behind his hand.
Masurao seemed to come to the same conclusion. He stood there for a bit, mid-sentence and eyes wide. Then, almost serenely once more, he resumed his regular expression. Neutral, leaning to stern. He stared down at the smaller girl for a bit, then closed his eyes and turned his head and body the other way, making the slightest of 'hm' noises as he did, as if he was dismissing himself from something.

As if nothing had just happened, the armored alien now made way for Niji. His paces were smooth, and almost measured. Swift, but not threatening. His invisible aura seemed to move things out of the way that were in his path (though there wasn't anything to block him, really), but it felt so nonetheless.
Nearing the princess, Masurao came to a stop. He balled his hand into a fist, which slight alarmed Nebulos, but the boy's hand went straight to the center of his chest. Not even a second later, he swooped down in an elegant bow, legs perfectly straight, his tail up in the air.

"Your highness."

He spoke, making sure to pronounce it clearly, not seeming to realize this might embarrass her or not.
He straightened up again and while he did, his other hand made a quick and calculated move towards on of his pockets. From it, he pulled a scroll. It was clearly a foreign sort of paper, which was waxed shut with a seal.

"Your father gave me this."

He explained, holding out the scroll to her, but not forcing her to take it.

"It'll explain why I am here."

And silence once more. It was rather obvious that now, regardless of his intimidating posture, he was showing a great deal of respect towards the royal girl. Perhaps because it had something to do with his 'job', which Tala had briefly explained. Which might've been a good thing, because, by the current looks of it, it didn't seem like Masurao was going to do much verbal explaining from his own.

[Sadie]

"What are you--! That's not--"

The exclamation made Tala laugh delightedly, and she didn't even seem to mind that he had made her arm fall. She had gotten a rise out of him, and that was all she had really wanted, anyway. But she could see now that he was busy with his 'royal business boring stuffy madness,' so she knew well enough to leave him alone. But not before lightly punching his shoulder, throwing him a "See ya later, sweet-cheeks!" and trotting away before she could give him time to react. Let him deal with that.

Instead, she went to the other alien who had addressed her, the one who had called her brother "Curly." It made her laugh that someone other than her was using nicknames for her older brother. When she had come to stand at Etoile's side, she wrapped an easy arm around his waist, and felt his drape around her shoulder. A casual hug, but one that both of them silently needed, since they had finally had a reunion with each other.

She flashed a smile up at the other alien - geez, he was tall! - and laughed at his comments about Etoile, who looked a little bit offended. "I know," she teased, lightly bumping Etoile with her hip. "I've always been the cuter one."

"Ew." Etoile's nose wrinkled slightly. "You're hitting on my sister."

Ignoring him, Tala extended a hand toward Dengeki. "Who do I have the pleasure of meeting?"

[ChyukiPastukiSuzuki]

Dengeki smirked and feigned royalty as he replied. "Etoile, dear. I am not 'hitting on' your sister." His quiet voice showed a tone of dignity. "I am simply complimenting her for her beauty. If Unagi was complimented for his looks, I'm sure I'd feel a great amount of joy for him. Then again, we are identical. Well, if Mizu were complimented, I'd feel glad." He trailed off, not bothering to explain who Mizu was.

Instead of shaking Tala's outstretched hand, he held it and bent forward slightly to kiss it.

"Who do I have the pleasure of meeting?"

Dengeki released her hand and resumed his chesire-cat smile. "Dengeki Kyuurikougeki, Numbuh X*². Specialist in close combat, aquatic reconnaissance, and part time engineer. At your service." He made a small salute as he said the last part. "I'm honored to meet you."

Unagi let out a small gasp in surprise at Vibe's hug and his arms found their way around her waist. His head rested on her shoulder and he smiled. "Don't worry, I'm fine now." His head lifted and he kissed her softly on the cheek.

[Sadie]

Etoile let his blue eyes roll to the side while Dengeki berated him for his earlier statement. As far as he was concern, there was some hitting-on going on, and he did not have any interest in letting Tala have anything even slightly romantic with anyone here. Not while he was around to watch it happen.

Although, Dengeki was just probably being his own flirtatious self, no doubt, so Etoile wasn't as worried about him, although watching the large alien kiss his sister's thin hand kind of creeped him out.

Tala's face was the opposite of Etoile's - his pale yellow skin looked paler when compared to the full violet flush that had spread across her cheeks, quite similar to the color that often showed up on Etoile's own cheeks. When Dengeki let go of her hand, she self-consciously hid it behind her back, having lost her nerve for a moment to continue her smooth, arrogant facade.

"The honor is mine," she replied simply, flashing her wide smile. Similar to Etoile's, too, but complete with a single dimple on her left side. Her hair bounced as she tilted her head to the side. "It's nice to have met someone so kind already."

Her mind picked up on the words 'specialist in close combat.' She was fairly good at that, too. Maybe she could pick up tips if she watched him fight.

[RohaHat]

"HEY GUUUUYS, I'M BOOOOORED," came the all too familiar voice from the steering cabin. Cyril had been watching the events inside the ship instead of steering, but luckily the path ahead was mostly clear for the time being. "WHY DO YOU GUYS GET ALL THE FUN?" From across the room, Nalo shot the bird boy a look, and anyone who noticed could probably guess that her thoughts were "Because you volunteered to be pilot, dumbáss."

In the engine room, blinking slightly slower than usual when she felt the kiss, Vibe's cheeks flushed a dark blue once his lips lost contact. But her grip around him didn't loosen, she only pulled herself closer, resting her head against his neck. Just because he was okay now didn't mean she was going to stop worrying. He meant a great deal to her, and any harm coming to him was like a blow to her heart.

[Renee]

Niji watched as Masuaro approached her in a respectful and non-threatening way.

"Your Highness." He greeted formally, giving her an equally formal bow. Niji smiled, impressed with his manners, but felt that his bow was a bit unnecessary.

"Please, there's no need to be so formal." She said with a light chuckle, as he straightened. "We're both kids, I don't mind if you treat me as one..." She said with a smile. She watched curiously as he swiftly pulled what looked like to be a scroll out of his pocket and held it out to her.

"Your father gave me this. It'll explain why I'm here..." Niji looked at the scroll in his hand reluctantly,

"M-My Father?" She echoed as she took the scroll from his hand. It had her father's Royal seal, so she knew it was authentic. 'Oh, gosh, I hope I'm not in any trouble...' She fretted to herself. 'I swear I made sure all of my royal duties were complete before I departed and I haven't played any pranks on any of the guards since last month so why...' Her worried thoughts ended when she unrolled the scroll and began to read the words that were written on the glossy paper...

This scroll is a direct message From King Tanjio of Orgami to the child Masurao Sebes of planet Egriada.

After reviewing and interviewing all of the pupils of instructors of the academy, and with much consideration you are hereby entrusted with the full protection of my daughter Princess Niji Arco of Orgami. She is traveling with the Galactic Kids Next Door, and you will escort her everywhere she goes, including every mission she may be participating in, and keep her safe by any means necessary. My daughter's safety is of great importance to me, so I am counting on you to preform this task with great efficiency.

"B-bodyguard?" Niji whispered surprised. She shook her head in disbelief, "But I don't need..." She let the sentence hang and looked from the scroll to Masurao and back again with the deepest hopes that this was all a bad joke.
