[b]Penny[/b]

Penny was a little taken aback at request for Gamble to speak with others, with troubled past. She didn't think Damian would want to share too much with someone not in the guild yet, and Rose had enough troubles being in the games as well. 

She got a haunted look in her eyes, and said [color=f7976a]"We all have troubled pasts, in one way or another. Some are just more public then others. I can tell you one thing though, I haven't felt like I've been apart of a family since I was young. Imagine a lot of people in the guild feel like that. All I wanted was to find my sister, I didn't expect to find somewhere to belong. So when I say the guild is like a family, I don't just say it because it has to be said, I say it because I mean it. 

While Rose would, I'm sure, be happy to speak with you, I believe she is out with the guild master, and I do not think she'd want to speak about her past with her daughter nearby. Still, she'd probably say the same. In one way or another, the guild has saved us."[/color] She said, giving a shrug

[b]Sasha[/b]

[color=6ecff6]"it's quite a cheerful place. Relaxing. Friendly"[/color] Sasha said as she began to lead the way, letting her thoughts drift. She wondered how she got into this, and supposed it could easily be traced back to Edolas. Mostly though, it was because she would do anything for the guild. But she didn't like pessimism-there was always a way. She had to believe that, and often she found that the best way just snuck up on you, or hit you with a tone of bricks. 

She sighed, and asked for a table when they arrived at the restaurant, getting one within a few moments. She supposed she should be a little bit easier oon Edo-Karn. She knew she wasn't the same person she was even a few months ago, but Edo-Karn hadn't had time to grow, to adjust, had, it seemed, not even seen the result of all that had happened in Edolas. And she supposed, in hind sight, she couldn't blame Edo-Karn for being skeptical of Lazurus, given how Edo-Lazarus acted, but it had been painfully obvious that their counterparts often weren't the same. 

She could take some of the blame for some of the bad blood between them, but Edo-Karn had to take some of the blame too. And until then, Sasha would stand by the fact her slap had been right, and justified. She followed the waitress to a table, accepting the menus and sitting down, waiting for the others to do the same. 

[b]Jessie[/b]

[color=f6989d]"Such an exciting spectacle, just when you think its over, the other comes back! It looks like it will be the one who has magic that is left standing!"[/color] Jessie said excitedly, holding her mic, her eyes alight, watching with avid interest on what was going on. [color=f6989d]"OH! and the arena, and the cities defenses come into play,, protecting the area from destruction! Certainly necessary for the games!"[/color]

[b]Gabriel[/b]

Gabriel just about hummed in annoyance, if Ike had been left alone, Gabriel was certain his words would have calmed him before the situation escalated, it had seemed like Ike was backing down, before someone attacked him. Perhaps it was petty to focus on that, but it angered him that people attacked first, when there might have been a chance to stop it without so much damage. 

Gabriel might be half a child still, but Michael and himself had had some experienes that most people wouldn't experience in their whole life time. He knew that chances were, the guild, and other guilds, had members who experiencd similar things, but he resented being considered a child because of his age. And it annoyed him, greatly so, that the only time people seemed to focus on him was when he messed up, even unintentionally.[color=8dc73f] "Everyone's suffered. Some people suffer all the time. Some people can't get over it. I've been a salve, kidnapped from my family with my brother, orphaned, and seen people crippled.  Trauma isn't trivial, but whats the point in wallowing? The best thing, I've figured out, is to do something about it.

I didn't pick some girls side. I tried to help Ike, unfortunately that help was marred by someone attacking him. I didn't see the point of watching a girl be murdered by my own guild mates. How do you all know that the girl didn't do it by accident? Some people don't have a good handle on their powers. Just because the guild is regimented and trained to be soldiers, doesn't' mean you can just fight. There are other ways of trapping people, of bringing them in. And I also know that jumping to conclusions about people just gets you into trouble. 

I may have misheard, misunderstood the situation, but I'd rather try and save lives then take them. There's too much death in the world already, I just didn't want to witness it today. If trying to stop a death is going against my guild mates, then fine, I did that. And I would do it again. 

Why the hell is it that people don't seem to notice me, or give a damn, until I either challenge them, or make a fool of myself?"[/color] He didn't mean for that last sentence to tumble out his mouth, but the words just came out. Feeling Ill, and grief filled, Gabriel just turned and walked away, knowing he couldn't stay there right then, not when it seemed everyone would just pile on him. He couldn't stay there when the look in their eyes radiated what could be betrayal, or distrust. 

He maintained his composure until he was out of sight, and then he ran. He didn't know where he was going, or what he was going to do. He just needed to get away. His head buzzed with thoughts that it was hard to pick what was going on in there, and his heart was a painful lump in his chest. 

He had misunderstood the situation, it seemed. He knew the orders, but since when did orders say 'attack first, ask questions later'?. He stumbled into a clearing, and blinked, looking about. He just stood there, looking lost.
