Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hours later Mindy arose from her slumber and undid her protective traps. She woke up her sleeping living servants as well. Most of them looked healthy like they hadn't gone wanting in food. In fact many of them got to work on the breakfast for all while Mindy attended her newer arrivals.

One of the lightning imps in their more adolescent spunky years called her a glk'snrrkshizglarc. Unphased Mindy merely smiled and asked the imp if it desired to eat today. Another word later and Mindy said maybe it would prefer a week along with this one (the other imp she obtained which was rather young still).

"Consider yourself lucky. You could have ended up with someone who would just keep you alive or as some experiment to test a new skill. However you are here and I like to take care of my things." Mindy knew that things taken care of tasted better and felt nicer to be around and believed it showed she appreciated them more. She worked on the new ones to like her better and be more compliant until it was ready for all to eat. Once everyone had ate, including her puppets, Mindy chose one herself to feed on and that one got the privilege of taking it easier for the rest of the day.

A while later a commotion outside could be heard from those with superior hearing. The native language of the imps were being spoken, until Johnathon asked them all to start speaking "common" as a courtesy to some new guests they had.

"Niearcim bastards! Killed many, mind tricked more into following! Many dead, caves fall apart!"

"Fire imp took babies. My babies!"

"Why no elders seek revenge yet!? We slaves, and children die and be slaves to them!"

"We go into hiding to fight them, but it seems like all we're doing is just hiding! And dying!"

"PLEASE! Be quiet! As I reminded you, we currently have guests that are trying to rest after an encounter with some of the mages themselves."

"What make them important? Not like angelic ever be here! No God!"

"Watch your tongue, you know very well that if demonkind exists, that means there's a higher power besides just Satan or the Niearcim. And you know WHY we're currently demons as well."

"I say suffer enough. Suffer in Hell, suffer here. If God real, and kind, he would stop suffering! What say you, elder!?"

Johnathon sighed in frustration, along with some of his trusted members of his group. The "rabble" were being rather noisy and persistant in wanting to go after the Niearcim. Even after suffering horrible losses. More and more, he was starting to see what Sephiroth was trying to point out about hatred and wanting revenge.

Johnathon replied with Rosemary's words in response to what had been said to him. He then also referred to how he had been miraculously healed when before he had lame legs for the longest time. If that hadn't been proof of God, then he didn't know what was.

That at least quieted down the crowd for a time.

"Ah, Sephiroth. Sorry about the noise. Yes, a gempi sphere would do wonders, I just haven't had a moment's peace to think about that. Some of you, bring out all the gempi spheres out from the shelter hole. They should be recharged enough from the sunlight to help revive some of our more weary."

"That... that an angeelik?"

"A winged one!"

"Where were you!? Where were you when mages hurt us!? Where God!?"

Johnathon sighed, as there was more commotion again, some trying to demand why there hadn't been angels sent to them immediately when they were attacked, and others demanding that those argumentive ones show some respect.

With Sephiroth attempting to explain things with examples from the Bible and such, and the healing spheres laid out, things eventually got calmer.

A little later on, Johnathon was spending some time reading the bible to himself, finding those stories briefly told by Sephiroth and reading them more in depth. He had approached Sephiroth earlier, and asked if there was any possible way to get more bibles "snucked in", so Johnathon could distribute them to the other elders of other former slave imps.

After his little romantic interlude, Jacob was idly thinking while resting for a short while, stroking both the hair of Rosemary, and the back of Veni the bat... He had started to wonder if possibly they could help out the imps by mass transporting them back to gaia, and from there, Limbo... or just to Limbo, and once they were in Limbo, he could probably give them some space in his little pocket realm that was entered through the Void, until things got settled. He wasn't sure how many imps there were, but there seemed to be a network... He'd be able to support the majority of them for a short time, but it would take work to find most of them permament homes elsewhere in Limbo as to not overtax himself and his little so-called homeworld. Fortunately, Limbo had been designing a program dedicated to such a cause some time ago to providing support and care for converted demons, along with other misplaced beings, which had been drastically boosted after the Inazuma incidents.

Rosemary, if awake, would notice a slight "fidgety-ness" from Muerte's housing, suggesting that he was curious as to what had been going on in more precise terms and how much time had actually passed.

Thas and Milaku were discussing her angelic half abilities in the majority, where Thas seemed to be attempting to "recruit" her in some way. Milaku was giving some slight thought to it, honestly. The offer of being able to travel to the lower areas of Heaven was tempting as well, and possibly seeing her nos-weng anjul mentor there sooner than expected would be a rather nice pleasantness. Knowing that she wouldn't have to dedicated every single second of her time to being "on duty" was a relief, meaning that even angels got rest time. She wouldn't have been able to bear being away from her new-father Dieamos for extreme lengths of time,

One of Mindy's vampires appeared on scene and followed Sephiroth's blood trail until he had apparently healed enough to stop bleeding a little ways from the cliff side caverns. Mindy herself wondered if she should seek out Xun herself or send out Adur to find him or if she should simply wait there in her room for him as she wasn't entirely sure where he stayed normally but he knew where she did since he followed Adur home possibly afraid the thing would collapse on him since he knew Mindy kept it out longer than she normally did.

"Thank you again, this will provide a great help for all of us... I apologize for the racket that was made. It seems like many of my people need to get out of here instead of trying to fight against the Niearcim..."

Although it was cramped, it was better than being inside the soul housing. Muerte could have sworn it felt like over a hundred years this time. The random time period effect seemed to bother him more nowadays than it used to, ever since he came out of his delusions. Maybe it'd be something he would have to ask Jacob or another magic user to take a closer look at?

"I apologize. It almost felt as if I were losing myself inside of the housing, however. I shall stay hidden in this room if you so wish, I only desired to be let out for a time if it was safe. I was also concerned for all of you..."
