Well, at least a couple of the others introduced themselves, the others didn't really get a chance as some official looking guy joined them from another part of the helicopter. The island had no Pests? At all? That seemed impossible, dealing with Pests was like sleeping, it was just something you had to do if you were alive. The idea of no Pests was almost as ridiculous as the thought of magic. But this island apparently had both of those. The Japanese guy asked if they were using science which Gabe was idly wondering as well. However Gabe decided to keep his mouth shut because this official looking dude seemed like he meant business and Gabe did not want to say something stupid and make him mad.

This was easily the most awkward family dinner Morthos had ever been a part of....well there was that time with his uncle but that wasn't nearly as bad as this. Morthos just kept his mouth full of food and didn't say anything, he really didn't want to get involved. Then Jax left him alone with her parents, which was even more awkward than when she was fighting with them. Luckily they didn't try to talk to him, the both just seemed kind of dumbfounded by everything that just happened. Luckily Jax wasn't gone long and came back to ask him how dinner was, "it's good, in my hometown deer is kind of a delicacy, so this is really nice to have."

Morthos spoke in a friendly tone but he put one of his hands under the table and did a flourish to cast ghost sound directly in Jax's ear so only she could hear. Just two simple words in a fairly serious tone, Talk. Later. He gave Lenora a friendly smile, "I believe I'm supposed to say my mothers cooking is better, but this is very good, thank you for the meal." He may have been feeling awkward but Morthos still had his manners, and the meal was very good. It also helped that his mother never cooked a whole lot but no one needed to know that.

Gabriel was only vaguely aware of the conversation going on around him, he was in his head off in his own little world. He was disappointed the pilot was separated from the rest of them so he couldn't see the controls of the helicopter. He'd never been in a helicopter before, it was a lot more turbulent than a plane. Of course most people had no need to ever be in a helicopter, so this was a unique experience in itself even without the fact they were being taken to some place where they were apparently going to be learning magic.

Tuning in slightly to those around him, Gabe wondered if he made the right choice in coming here. Why was he even here in the first place? Because he was bored of his life and wanted some excitement? Because he figured a college drop out didn't have much potential anyways so he may as well do something legendary? Or maybe because he was lonely and thought maybe doing something crazy with a group of people would net him some friends? Probably a mix of all of those. Well if he wanted to at least attempt to make friends with these people, which seemed a little unlikely but whatever, he should probably know their names.

He shifted slightly and lifted his head from where it was resting against the helicopter wall, "if we're gonna be doing this thing together we should probably know each others names." Gabe sounded a bit exasperated, a bit like he was done with their shit before he even really knew them, he shook that out of his voice, knowing it wasn't fair to judge them yet, "I'm Gabriel, or Gabe if you want." He had caught the excited sounding girls name, Bara. He wondered if anyone else would offer a name, or if they were too cool for school and would just ignore him.

@MikkishtheLeprechaun I lied about wanting an answer before committing to a character, so there we go

So this looks neat, just a question before I commit to a character. Could someone use a sword as well as a gun? I understand everyone has a gun, but I gotta be real, swords are way cooler

Jax came back as her father was finishing his story, it must be one of his favourites as she knew the ending. They left the hospital and took a drive that felt all too short since Jax was sleeping on him and Morthos was loving it. It felt nice to know Jax was comfortable enough with him she could fall asleep on him. Her dad gave her a look when they finally arrived which she scolded him for, Morthos had yet to correct her father on their relationship status because he wanted it to get to that point.

Jax hung back a moment to have a word with Ophelia as they boys and the parents entered the house. Her dad laughed, claiming the photos weren't placed out in the open on purpose, Morthos wasn't sure how much he believed that but he went along with it. He mainly focused on the pictures of Jax, she had definitely slimmed down over the years, she used to be a little chubster. When she came in Morthos wasn't sure if she was more angry or embarrassed, she welcomed him to the house whilst going through shades of red. "Aww, don't be embarrassed, I think the pictures are cute," he got a bit closer to the trophy so he could read it, "corndog eating champ, huh? You know I don't think I've ever had a corndog. Just haven't gotten around to eating carnival food, are there any other pictures you suspect are around that you want to make sure I'll never see?" He was joking of course, she shouldn't be so embarrassed, he had some back pictures, except being a lordling some of his pictures were actually paintings which were arguably worse.

Jax told him what she had to do and what his job would be while she was gone, "don't be too long," he called out as she walked away. Her mother seemed like she wasn't easily impressed, fair enough, as long as they both liked Morthos fine that was what he cared about. Right now her parents seemed to dislike Roxas a lot more than Morthos, he couldn't really control that though. He had to keep them occupied, so he figured some conversation would be good. The dad seemed like the more sociable one so he figured he'd be talking to him. [color=red"Ya, not many Tieflings around. We used to be a mighty empire, but all good things come to an end I suppose."[/color]

The comment about grandchildren took him by surprise, Morthos just chuckled to play off the comment, "I think it might be a bit early to be thinking of grandchildren. Why don't you tell me about yourself? Jax mentioned you're an Earth Shaper and you use a giant hammer when you fight? I think that sounds much more interesting than little old me. He turned to the mother, not wanting her to think he was being disrespectful and ignoring her, "and Jax never mentioned your magical abilities but I would be interested to hear about them. In this situation luckily Morthos' thirst for knowledge was coming in handy, people loved talking about themselves.
