Raine took up a side volunteer work of trying to help people recover in the hospital. She however was quite regretful in herself today. While healing normal wounds were no problem to her, this disease was a different problem. She never saw a sickness or ailment she could not cure by any means she tried. However, this Starvia was a different story, no matter what she tried, she could not even slow it down.

With this feeling of self regret, she sat on a bench outside the hospital in thought. How could there be any hope in stopping the uncurable? Has she failed to save not just one life this time, but many? Will they become those monsters outside over time and she can do nothing to prevent it? Why were they even keeping them here? If they were potentially dangerous, wouldn't it be better in the long term to put them somewhere more secluded?

These thoughts were of course very conflicting. It made it hard to decide what to do about this situation. She was so deep in thought she was not even bothering to hide her worrying and thinking. She probably would not even notice if someone approached her.

Little did raine know, there was a stalker afoot. rustling in the bushes behind her, two glowing red eyes shined through the darkness, eyeing her down with vicious intent. Murder? Mugging? Or perhaps..just maybe...Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuust maybe...



"TAO'S SUPER SECRET BOOB GROPE TECHNIQUE!!!!!!!!!!!"



Not very secretive, but it worked. With that yelled, The vigilante of the Kaka village leaped from the bushes, interrupting all form's of thought as she landed in front of Raine, turning around to look her face to face. Well, more like face to chest, as tao didn't waste any time in immediately groping the stranger in front of her. "Nyaha! Finally, tao found boobies!! Not as big as boobie ladies though. Better than Lacking ladies too!" Tao said, nuzzling her face in between raine's chest.



"Ahhh, strange lady has nice, comfy, airbags..." Tao said, almost in pure bliss.

Even beyond the current scope of improbable causes, the two of them did not notice that they were in the immediate vicinity of a very strange presence; make that three as one of them Tao encountered at the Busy Bee Lobby while he was eating Oran Berries, the other two were definately unknown, but at the very least one of the group woul set off the Ruin Mania within the Half-elf.

The other presence was currently up in the usual tree, heckling at the both of them in his native tongue {Mainly at the Half-elf for having the misfortune of being groped by Taokaka}, and was easily distinguished by the fact that he was a Gargoyle and was the color of ones blood, complete with yellow eyes and demonic bat-like wings.

While Raine was too busy thinking to pay any heed to the cat's sudden decleration, she did notice the sudden groping going on. "..." Raine not putting up with such ignorantly childish behavior, gave Tao a very strong slap to the face. While she was not physically strong any other time, her disciplinary slaps she often preserved for Lloyd and Genus were quite painful. "What do you think you are doing?" she asked. That was some Zelos esque behavior she did not expect to see from... someone she could only really connect to those strange people in cat suits from her world.

It seems there were three other people watching the sudden predatory act. Some strange looking creature and a bat thing that would definitely be considered a monster in her world. The other was... and with that sudden break in thought, Raine's cool and calm demeanor suddenly went poof as she went into what her brother calls 'Ruin Mode'. "These stones just seem to naturally connect to eachother by some invisible means! Its definitely not any kind of magic I've ever seen. Its being seems to not even be completely physical either. More like some virtual entity given physical form!" Raine's sudden mania took a break though as the sudden memory of one of the most deadliest foes she fought that also resembles a skeleton came back. With that, her distrust in people she doesn't know came back. "Of course, it could always be a threat..." Raine finishes, going and sitting back in the bench.

Taokaka got slapped back successfully, tao releasing a "Meow!" as she fell over onto her butt. "Aww, That was mean lady!" Tao said, pouting in obvious disdain of her grope attempt's being foiled.

But, before tao could try again, her cat ear's twitched and her tail stood on end. "Meow...TAO CAN SENSE YOU BAD GUY'S! TAO DOESNT LIKE STALKERS!" Tao yelled, suddenly starting to climb the tree Firebrand was on. "Nyaha! Found you!" She said, poking firebrand. Taokaka then leaped off the tree, running over to the other presence felt. "And you too Bootleg guy!!" Tao yelled, hopping up and down before running to the next one, tagging...whoever he is. I dunno, zero wasn't descriptive enough before running back to Raine's bench. "Meow?" Tao said inquisitively, leaning in to listen to Raine's rambles...None of it made a lick of sense to tao. But, it gave tao a new nickname idea at least. "Hey, Rambling lady! There's people watching us, Meow!"

The sudden appearence of the three wasn't easy to understand, but it was enough to get some attention, even after Raine did her breif examination of the larger presence{which was actually Zero's third character} she did not notice that its aura was different from that of the monster she once fought in her homeworld. The moment she sat down however, it moved... A twitch at first, then a moderate flex, and despite the lack of vocal components, gave a very eerie yawn. The rock-like creature then noticed the two, giving an even more eerie laugh.

The red Gargoyle called firebrand was nearly poked out of his tree, but thakfully he was interested in the monsters the Half-elf fought that looked like him. "Very impressive in thinking I'm like one of your common garden variety monsters, but I don't think you've seen me in your world. Come to think of it, I doubt you've seen so much as a Red Arremer before, have ya?" Firebrand said in a calm cackle, showing that he was capable of understanding the human language.

Mewtwo on the other hand was clearlk looking at Raine, ignoring Tao's calling him 'Bootleg Guy' for the umpteenth time already. "Once again, catgirl your antics don't impress anyone, I bet she had to put up with people like you often, am I right?" the psychic pokemon said, his eyes still locked on those of Raine as though this was a staring contest.

Hmmm, did the gargoyle read Raine's mind? How else can he have guessed what she was thinking. Guess she has no choice but to answer, but she may as well stay cautious. She may as well answer their questions without giving too much away... "I have faced many monsters and people, though your kind I obviously have not. Though I doubt you are stronger than the Summon Spirit Maxwell, The Monsterous Skeleton, Sword Dancer or the monster that is Abyssion..." Raine said, gripping the Heart of Chaos, her Devil Arm from her inventory. She quickly put it away to not draw attention to it. The less they know about the Devil Arms the better. "As for you," Raine said, turning her gaze to Mewtwo, "She does remind me of the cat people of my world.... Though I doubt any of those would try to grope somebody out of nowhere!" Raine said before settling down. She should learn to not get so active in her disciplining slap... Why was she even talking to these suspicious people? Normally this would not be a good idea to her... Was this world driving her mad already?
