Welcome to Gaia! ::

Loki was supposed to be cleaning his room. Supposed to be here meaning that he was not cleaning, and instead he was plotting (as usual) to frighten his mother. He had cleared off his desk at least, where he had been listening to music on loop to keep his mother out of the room. It was his idea of dark music (the boy was still determined to impress his father by being entirely evil and wicked, which, though the boy knew he wasn't, had to act like he was. In order to impress his father--and avoid his twin brother's stupidity). So to keep his mother from walking in on him--as she had done countless times to show him that he'd forgotten to put his laundry away, or that he needed to go shopping with her to purchase a new set of underwear. (It really was amazing, how many times a week she decided he needed new underclothing, did women go through it so quickly? Or was it just because his father stole it? It sounded like the evil sort of thing Matth would do.)

I've been watching

I've been waiting

In the shadows all my time

So how would he frighten his mother this time? Spiders? Nah, that was too cliche. Carebears? No, carebears were going too far. They were terrifying, those bright colors and smiling faces. They were almost as frightening as teletubbies. (Loki was absolutely certain that custurd they ate was filled with arsenic).

Lately I been walking walking in circles, watching, waiting, for something.

Snakes? No, his father would suspect something. Especially since their grandmother had a certain...talent, was it? A talent with snakes of a certain--giant breed. He might have been able to attract animals (whether he liked it or not). On the third time of listening to the song on loop (thank the gods for Youtube, whichever one had made it, even if it did have to buffer because his computer was so slow. He'd have to see about asking Dad if he could buy a newer one--but Matthias wasn't known for his fondness for technology.

I feel that I should go and play with the thunder
Somehow
I just don't wanna stay and wait for a wonder

Maybe he could convince his Nemean lion cub to pounce on his mother; something told him if he put Kitty's steak near where Risa was, the large dog sized kitten would attack. Not enough to harm her--the Nemean lion was harmless, really! Wouldn't hurt a fly!

I've been searching
I've been living
For tomorrows all my life.

The hairs on Loki's neck rose. He glanced to his right; Kelani was curled up like a cat on his bookshelf, along side of her albino shadow. To his left, was Kitty, who had taken residence in his closet (which no longer had a door, because Kitty had decided to remove it). Behind him was his bed--he had to take a double look. Something red...humanoid... A shadow? Lounging on his bed?

"Hey! Get off my bed!" Loki stood, and stared at the red being with wide ebony eyes. "DAD! There's a ghost in my room! It's on my bed! DAD!"

The shadow on the bed looked... tired. If a shadow could look tired. Maybe like he - at least it looked like a He - didn't feel well.
At the outset, everything that came out of the shadow's mouth was gibberish - but it slowly, slowly started to fade into natural English.
