Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lin looked at Riser and grimaced when she saw the wounds. She was torn between wanting to help him as a healer and wanting to let him suffer because he was pure darkness.

She sighed softly. "I am sure if you go to the hospital wing inside of the school, you could be aided. I believe Professor Akakios is still there at the moment."

She did not feel the intense gazes on her from the two party hosts.

Meanwhile, Maggie actively watched the exchange from where Dymetri had left her. It could have only been magic, the way she suddenly had a hot, steaming bag of buttered popcorn, and was mindlessly munching it, at times almost missing her mouth and biting her finger instead, at other times passing the bag to another student or two who also wanted a handful of popcorn.

"Wow... You'd think a bunch of deprived teenaged girls were writing this s**t," she commented sagely. The male senior next to her disagreed. "No way, this is to crazy to make up. You'd have to have, like, the entire universe on acid, or espresso, or something."

They looked at each other. "Naaaaaaaah." Maggie giggled. "I'm just going to wait for Mr. Enlil to come back. He eats crazy for breakfast, this is nothing for him. But oh man, this Slimy a*****e..."

She started detailing a truly epic plan of Maggie proportions to the orange-haired senior next to her, unaware that he was actually a computer by the name of Five.

Five smiled. There was no way anyone but Seven had the patience to deal with this place, and Master Ialo's antics day in and day out.

Meanwhile, somewhere deep within the MFHS clinic, Ophi sneezed.

{{LOL!! This is AWESOME!! Lizz, your post nearly made me laugh OUT LOUD, which would have been bad since I'm here at work. wink Buttered popcorn, depraved teenagers making this up, LOVE IT! And who knew this would turn into a show for the party. Built-in entertainment. lol}}

{{And Boom, I think Lin and Dymetri are more than close enough to hear Riser and Lin. Lin had heard her clone speaking before, but she didn't think it would be her CLONE. So she ignored it and tried to focus on the girl she was talking with. But now that she is focused on the current scene, she'll hear anything that is said, especially since she also has elven hearing.}}

Lin felt so many eyes on her, which caused her cheeks to flush even more. She was feeling lightheaded and nervous. She had no idea what was going on, but her eyes were glued to her 'twin' now. In fact, without really realizing it, her feet were moving her closer to her replica. What was she?

The 'clone' noticed all of the added attention on her. She had the benefit of knowing exactly who and what she was, so she wasn't nervous or confused about the current situation, just with Riser's presence.

She turned to look at Dymetri when he spoke and nodded to him slightly. "Hello, Dym... Marcos. I am sorry if I seem to have crashed the party. I assumed that it was either a public party or that my original had gotten the invitation. I did not think it would cause harm for me to come as long as I stayed in the shadows for the most part."

She looked at her original and then sighed. She spoke to both her and Dymetri, keeping her voice low and ladylike, not wanting to cause an even-bigger scene.

"I was hoping to have this confrontation in a more-secluded, private area, but I ran the risk of this happening now by attending the party. I... am technically an exact clone of Lin Yin."

The original Lin's eyes widened and she gasped, feeling as if all the air had been knocked out of her by a huge blow to her stomach.

The clone sighed softly again and continued. "We put a particular orb in the lake at the gardens. The water pixies took the memories with this orb, along with DNA strands that had been deposited into the lake shortly thereafter, and created an exact replica, me. I am Lin. I am as much her as she is. It is as if a twin was created of her, only not with the traditional methods. I am no more a clone than she is. I experienced the same things she did before we were split apart. Certain feelings inside of me, however, were greatly enhanced while others were lessened. As it is the same with twins, I have different interests than the other Lin does but am no less as much of an individual as she is. I have actually considered changing my name for the simple fact that I do not wish to be known as a clone but more as a twin."

As she looked at Dymetri, he would be able to notice one large difference between the Lins, something no one else would likely notice. This Lin was looking at him completely differently. Her eyes were kind, but they were not filled with passion or absolute love. They were simply friendly.

Lin had chosen to leave out certain sections of how she came about, such as that the orb was from Ambrose, filled with his memories, and that the DNA strands the pixies used were from one of Lins' tears.

((Out of curiosity, where do you work that you can be posting on here? Lol. I work at Noodles&Co., there be no way for me to post from work razz ))

((I didn't know you were a graphic designer! I've been checking out some internships since that's what I've been aspiring to be.
And Lizz, oh my god. You're too funny.))


Dymetri's jaw tightened as he listened to the Lins speak. Judging by his Lin's posture, she was just as surprised as he was to see the clone. The clone of Lin faltered on his name and as she did so, he saw the warm, polite eyes that he loved. Just without the adoration he usually got from them.
How he felt about this.. situation.. was teeter-tottering between two main feelings: Acceptance and disgust.
She looks way less clingy than the one you're with. I recommend going for that one instead of the one you have now.

Tune him out. Dymetri stared almost blankly into the general area where Lin's clone was. Tune him out. He began to speak slowly, his purposeful tone growing as he spoke.

"Yet Lin was not aware of your existence, your creation. The water pixies had no right to take that which wasn't theirs, yet they took strands of her DNA. How, I'm still not yet aware." Dymetri met the clone's eyes once more. "Don't take my words to offense, I know you're a great person of spectacular character, since you're also Lin. But your existence has crossed reality. Will you just simply step into Lin's home with Lin one day, claiming to be her twin that they just don't remember?"
Dymetri exhaled, sparing a glance to the guests surrounding him. He looked at the clone with a stare that could only be translated to, "I want to speak about this later."

"Of course you may join the party. Feel free to be as social as you wish," he added softly.

[So umm... Yeah. First RP post to my new resolution to be active ! *cheers* Oh and please excuse me if I get random; I suppose everyone's all focused on their own conversation.]

Quentin looked around. It was certainly strange. It hadn't been long since he arrived. Maybe Theandra was wrong, that she didn't give him the right instructions. She was a most skeptic and arrogant pixie. Always thinking that she was better than most and looking high above others, but she did give some mean advice. Like going to this school; Mystic Fountain for exemple. It was strange to get out from his jet-set tour around the world to settle for something more magical and less human. As if he was one even.

''- At least it's a beautiful night.'' he murmured for himself. Being deep into the woods held so much comfort. Especially that soft music. Wait. Music ? Quentin could hear it. To him, that combination of vocal delights was such a délivrance ! It pierced through the harmony of cheeps and cricks of the faun and added a new point of view. Unknowingly, Quentin adjusted his footsteps towards the border of the woods, discovering the party. The candles and lighting reflected upon the clear surface of the lake.

All the guests were teenagers. He'd quickly find out that they were all students of Mystic Fountain, partying gracefully in their mythical presence. Quentin could see so much creatures, he felt a bit ashamed to hide his faerie essence behind an illusion. Adjusting his black rimmed glasses, he looked pretty inoffensive. Not much of a threat. Could he just slide in this magnificent picture of society ? Why not ? A newcomer yes, but at least he would be sooner part of this school than he thought.

He came out of the woods, ignoring a nearby couple that were kissing away into the night. He played shoulders with the teens that danced, seemingly grabbing a glass of clear liquid. Was it right for him to be here ? Sure. Quentin sat down, sipping little quantities of his drink. He was at the border of the lake, just enough for the water to wet his shoes while keeping the rest of his body dry. Didn't need a blanket, the earth below him was enough.

Maggie tapped Five on the shoulder and pointed out the Lins. "Dijasheedat?" she asked with a mouthful of popcorn. "Totally unrealistic! Anticlimactic! Where's the drama? Where's the suspense? Where's the Michael Bay explosions?"

"Hah... aren't you getting a bit too into this? I mean, you're not even involved here..."

Maggie scoffed. "Every scene is my scene!"
