Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Now you're upset... it's my turn to listen like I couldn't listen last night. What's wrong, Caroline?" she asked, taking a sip of her coffee.

Sam looked up to her father with shock, and her brother looked as if he needed oxygen. This was the last thing they expected and.... hey wait, how did he know their names? "Umm, Musica, we never told you our names the other night. How did you know?" Her brother seemed to think of this as soon as she asked, so that meant she was right. This was quite eerie.

Musica only smiled, looking at them. "I know more than you think and let on last night. I've kept up with if I've had children or not. It's good to know your two were the only slip up. But a slip up I still love as any father should. Just who do you think made sure you had money to survive off of in your seperate homes? Oh, and I'm sorry to hear about your mother's tragic death Tyler. Which is another thing, why do you think you got away from the institution so easily?" It was all true, he'd kept up with them closely, up until the last year when things became hard on him to make it.

Luli walked over to what she considered the emotional circle. Of course this was another part of Musica's life that they surprisingly knew, but took many years to be told it. "So what can I get all of you to drink? We have pretty much all you can imagine, except alcohol." She asked in her business tone. Bo hung back at the counter, taking orders and serving them. He wanted to go over and talk but he was too shy to do so. Besides, him and Luli weren't a part of that family, but then again neither was that other girl with them. He felt sorry for her, knowing she felt just like him at the moment.

"Uhm," Vanessa said, "I-I'm good, thanks..." she said, slightly intimidated by the girl's attitude and tone. She shot another glance at Ty and Sam, but they were busy. They then drifted to a boy behind the bar. He was looking at her with something like sympathy. She gave him a small smile, and a wave.

Tyler wasn't going to just accept his father completely from this little bit of information about him. So what if he provided money and a great escape? He was never there for his first day of school, his first basketball game, or even to give him a pep talk before prom. He'd done none of that for him, nor his sister either. There was more to a father then what he'd said he'd done. "So what? I'll thank you for doing those things, but that still doesn't make you my dad. Your just my biological father." Tyler said staring him down unforgivingly.

Musica continued to smile calmly, but really internally all he could think about was how he felt about his own father. How he'd never been there. But Musica had helped, just never made his appearance known. Their mothers didn't even know he was providing for them at all. He had a huge college for them both, enough for them to go ten years at Harvard. Looking over at Luli he ordered for the three of them. "Three coffees please, plenty of sugars and cream as well." He didn't know how they liked their coffee, but he knew they liked it. They couldn't be his kids if they didn't. Slowly he finally took notice of the other girl with them that he'd seen with Ari last night. "Excuse me Miss, I don't believe we've been properly introduced, though I'm sure you already know my name." He said smiling as he held out his hand to her.

Luli walked away to fill the orders, not paying Nessie any mind at all. Bo however was blushing like mad when he saw her waving at him. He tried to calmly take orders without his voice cracking, but failed epically. Seriously, why were so many girls waving at him and smiling? Was it his new cologne or something?

((Seriously, Bo's becoming the unintentional ladie's man >.> ))

Nessa turned to Musica. So this was Ari’s crush… well, she sure knew how to pick ‘em! ”… the name’s Vanessa Block, but you can call me Ness, Nessa, Nessie... whatever floats your boat,” she said, taking his hand and giving it a firm shake. ”Ari told me about you. You’re Mr. Musica Brandt, yes?”

Aurora had been awake for some time, though she didn't know exactly what to do. Somehow, she'd managed to patch things up (sort of) with Altan during the night... It must have been subconscious. Either way, he'd awoken her by sitting on her chest and purring. Now, though, with nothing to do and nowhere to go, she was starting to feel bored. Altan, normally so talkative and active, had fallen asleep in a patch of sunlight near her window. His fur almost seemed to glow.

Looking to her desk, Aurora saw a small mirror that she'd almost forgotten about. Smiling softly, she picked it up. With it, she could 'call' anyone she wanted to, just as long as they were near a reflective surface. It was a gift from her parents (and technically their friends) when she'd left for her first year at Bai Ching. The first two months had been spent using it as much as possible, and had resulted in a few bad grades because of her homesickness.

She'd pretty much gotten over it now, though. In fact, she hadn't used the little mirror in quite a while. Blinking, she decided to take it to breakfast with her and perhaps call her parents when she was there. She was hungry, otherwise she would have called them right away.

So, Aurora walked to the nearest source of food, letting Altan stay in her room and sleep. She looked around just briefly when she walked in and saw Ari and Caroline sitting at a table. Tilting her head slightly to the side, she walked over to them. Caroline seemed upset.

"Hello. Caroline, is something the matter?" She wasn't particularly emotional, but she could tell when someone was feeling sad. Having caught Ari's last statement, she added, "Do you need to call someone?"

She was willing to offer her little mirror if that was the case.

((Don't worry, Ever will get to the party by going on a recon mission with Ari and Caroline and I guess Aurora and Altan. ))

{{But I'm boooored. I want the party nooooow! lol!!}}
