Welcome to Gaia! ::

(Hello! ^_^ This is most likely the last elementary rp we'll get in before your SM's grow to the next stage- so it's your last chance to gain points during this stage.

By the way- you should know that the classroom rp's are meant to be little 'windows' to daily classroom experience- as if we just look at one day out of ten, or fifteen. So you can feel free to rp your SM's as if they've been going to school for a week or more- this isn't their 'second day of school'.

++We're going to the zoo today! We've been learning about anatomy, and how different we are from our parents, and from other animals. So now we're going to the Barton Zoo too see all these different animals ourselves. There's been a notification sent home already, telling all the parents that if they want to come, they're welcome to- and that each student should choose an animal that will be in the zoo and be ready to tell the class about it when we arrive there. (And since this is Gaia, you can choose a mythical creature- the Barton Zoo is well-equipped. *nod nod*)

Now, Pove is waiting around front w/ the van, so you can start arriving any time.

Pove leaned down and picked up a flat stone with perfectly smoothed edges from where it sat, sticking out from the rough-edged gravel of the side driveway. It would be excellent for skipping across the lake from her boat- and she put it in her pocket. It clunked against a second rock, and reminded her that she was getting behind in her dubious 'extracurricular activities'.

She looked up, and saw a little one, tail flicking in the air as he walked towards where she stood.

"Hello there, Schye my little man." She put her hand to her eyes to block out the sun, and also greeted his father with a wave of her hand.

Monkey drove down the seat and poked Rome to wake up. Every morning he fell asleep in the car, never fails...

Rome wiggled under his fathers finger and slowly sat up as the car came to a halt. Used to the routine he slung his backpack of his shoulder, he had completly forgotten about the zoo and was still a little upset with Lun.

"Mmph... Too... Early..." His accent was getting thicker as he got a little older. Something his mother nor aunts could correct.

Monkey shook his head, secretly agreeing and got out of the car, scooping Rome up. He didn't dare cross any streets with this crowd on the loose, he parked on the same side of the road as the HQ and set Rome down after they walked a little closer.

As soon as his paws hit the ground, Rome's memory clicked and he perked his head up and walked over to Schye. Even though he was extremly shy, Rome still tryed to talk to him and get to know him.

"Hi Ms Pove... Pssst, Schye... Guess what!" Rome nodded Ms. Pove a greeting before he got to Schye and started to whisper to him, squeaking happily.

Monkey walked over to Pove and smiled over to Adrian with a hand wave, he was suprisingly over dressed. More formal then usual.

"Hey, I wish I could go but today's the big day at the hotel... Rome's already been to the zoo, just... Don't let him go in the reptile exhibit... He won't sleep for a month..." He knew Rome was out of ear shot but he looked around anyways, just to make sure.

Monkey nodded a bit, pulling at his loosened tie and mostly unbuttoned shirt under his jacket. It was too hot to be fully dressed outside unless he had to be.

"Yeah, petrified... Especially of S-N-A-K-E-S..." Monkey knew that he had to whisper it and spell it out to garuntee Rome didn't hear him.

Rome wrapped his tail around Schye to make sure he stayed close. Looking around as if to make sure no one else was listening and he was going to tell Schye a deep secret he got really close then said with a huge grin talking with a normal tone of voice, "We're going to the zoo!!"

After he spoke he jumped around a bit, excitedly squeeking away.

-Sparrow roared up to the front in her car to drop Lundy off. She smiled, turning to face the monkley who clutched his seat and his face expressed horror.- "We're hear, Lun. C'mon now, dearie...we don't want to be late!"

-Lundy's heart pounded in his small chest. Het paws death-griped the seats. He though Mum was going to crash at any moment, the way she drove. As soon as he heard her say they were there, he undid his seat-belt and lunged out of the car.- "..I've never been so happy to be on the ground.."

"Oof!" -Lundy had just barely touched the ground when he was tackled side-ways. Laughing and giggling, he rolled around with Rome.- "Yes! Yes! I can't wait! mum said it'd be lotssa fun!"
