Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Ah- AH- FRICKIN'-!" One of the emergency exit-doors close to the portal room had been propped open and re-plugged with what seemed to be the underside of a sofa. No sooner had the man on the other side managed to kick it free again, the massive piece of furniture tottered backward from whence it came with a crash and a yelp.

All-in-all, Jerry reflected as he tried to catch his breath under the thing, it had been a good find. The next time he did a run he would need to locate help or a dolly first, though.

"Ah- oh, th-thank you!" The man gasped, groaning as he managed to tip the heavy couch up and try to wriggle out from under it, letting it drop again with a thunk. "I found it on a street corner, isn't it great??" He was a tall, lanky man in his late twenties, a brown suit that constituted as his "street clothes", and a desperate need for a haircut. He was positively shaggy. He leaned over the upside-down piece of furniture to offer a hand and a grin, pushing his glasses up on his burn-scar riddled face, "Jerry. Jerry Collins Su- oh! You're Sun division too!" He lit up at the sight of the symbols on her coat, beaming brighter if it was possible.

"Second floor in the dorms. I was just promoted," He beamed a bit proudly. "Er... welcome awake! Ahahaha, if you help me get this thing up there I'll repay you with a soda or something? I haven't seen you around, you must really be new! Do you like music at all?" This last quest was blurted out with utmost importance.

Jerry nearly dropped the sofa again as she answered, his eyes widening behind his thick glasses, "I was a music teacher! Er... almost a music teacher- for a short period I was almost a music teacher anyway ahahahaha! My favorites are the Beatles and Pink Floyd and The Doors and... well, of course all the classics, and- Oh, shoot, ah.... m-maybe if we twist it sideways- ah... hold on!" He shuffled with the furniture until he was able to steer them free of the doorway, at least. It was heavy, he was not feeling his best, it had been a long day and he certainly appreciated the company.

"I have a guitar! It's an acoustic, but it's served me well here! Hahaha kept me sane. You should pick up another sometime, I'd love to play together! Otto has- er... had? I'm not sure the state of his room after that Phoenix fiasco but ah- a set of drums and Molly has her violin oh goodness I hope it's still alright- we haven't had a chance for another meet! Sasha er... just got her flute back, I was trying to organize a hunter choir but I'm not sure how many people are truly interested, I might have a better chance with a b-band- ah! Here it goes!" He staggered out into the light triumphantly, "To the dorms! Oh, and I recently procured a ukulele! I'd like to get my hands on a portable keyboard though- You should really invest in another guitar!!"

"Oh, absolutely! Do you like musicals?" He added, shifting his grip as they walked. It was FAR more easier with two people, that much was obvious.

"Faaar too many, ahahaha. I used to be able to do that "Make them laugh" dance shtick before my er... knee injury." He coughed, juggling his grip again to push his glasses up his nose, "From Singing in the Rain I mean. Ahahaha. Oh, we're approaching the steps, heads up!" The dorm building approacheth, and he made sure to keep his mind on where they were going. There would be time to nerd out later. "Fear shields are important, remember."
