((OOC: Oh yeah, because the middle finger
would start a fight among people on Earth >_< Data Draining? This isn't Dot Hack! Besides, Data Drain is an illegal move that can either lower the stats of a player (if you are on Kite's team in the game and get Data Drained by one of the phases) or puts the actual person into a comma, called commatosed victims (like Ryou Misaki, the player of Sora, who became Haseo in W:2)--but enought Dot Hack talk!

Maki had struggled to listen to what Icarus had to say, but edventually understood most of it. She heard him say something about being her body guard, at which she winced as he put on some goofy heroic face and stood on a rock, one of his legs in the air, as though a ledge or boulder was right beside the rock. Then Maki listened to him talk about his eating habits and how he planned to live alone, and that his parents were somewhere, but did not seem too bothered by living alone. He even said he was concerned about her, at which Maki blushed, hiding her face by tilting it downwards, towards the ground, trying to hide her annoyance. Just when she was about to answer his question, she saw Tahu grin and open his mouth to talk.
“Reen and the Guards name is Pastel I believe,” Tahu had interrupted, which made Maki half-relieved. “Now come on you can ask them yourselves.”
"Alright then, man," Icarus replied, looking around himself. "Were did they go again?"
Maki took a glimpse around herself as well, before remembering something Pastel had said earlier.
"What? You want me to carry you too?" Pastel had said jokingly. "Well then let's go."
Of course, because of Maki's short attention span, she was too busy gapping at the newcomer at the time to really consider what he said. Bored, Maki plopped on the ground and gazed up at the sky. It was a sunny day, white, fluffy clouds drifting slowly through the sky like cotton. The light blue sky looked like a giant blanket, the sun shinning at the acme of its brightness, almost hurting Maki's even brighter green eyes, at which she squinted to gaze at it. Sitting up with a sigh, she heard Icarus talking once more. TO whom, it was not certain, but Maki was sure it was to Tahu, who seemed anxious to find Reen and Pastel.
"Tahu, where are they, cause I see nothing...wow barely any fighters left...I count maybe... 200-ish." Icarus told Tahu, once again scanning the area.
"Well, it seems there is still a few who want to fight," Maki pointed to some shadowy figures in the distance, one person seemingly more interested in fighting than the other. "Let's check it out. Perhaps we will find Reen and Pastel as well?"
((OOC: Pastel dies in the next post, MYAHAHAHAHAHAH! Joke >_< ))
