Welcome to Gaia! ::

Harper had managed to coax one of the kitchen staff to give her a bag of marshmallows before she headed to the building where the portals were. It had taken her a few extra minutes, there were a few turns she had missed or taken in correctly but eventually she figured out where she was going. It was strange, the whole portal over to another and being there in a blink of an eye. When the technicians gave her a wave to go through Harper took a deep breath of air, letting her cheeks puff up, and closed her eyes before stepping though.

Opening them she found herself on the other side, for the most part she felt like herself everything was in one piece. It was strange still but she couldn’t say she hated it the experience, more like it was a weird fun.

Now she had to find where Liam and the others where.

Harper stood there, rocking back and forth on her feet waiting for Liam to find her. She would have tried to find the cabins but since she hadn’t been to the base before she figured that it would have taken her longer to find him then waiting. She did have her new hunter jacket on with a long green scarf hanging down; with all the rain they had mentioned she was happy to have it with her.

“LIAM!” As he opened the door Harper grinned, breaking into a full sprint before diving in for a hug from him. She had missed him, she had missed all of them and seeing a familiar face since she woke up made her almost forget the whirlwind of things she had to learn and been through. There was no care that he was damp from the rain, she was just glad to be able to hold someone she knew and of course give him a kiss on the cheek.

When he finally let her go she looked at him, everything was the same as when she had last seen him. “I hope I look ok they said I was asleep for quite a few days before I woke up I guess it was from not sleeping for so many days. I am really glad to see your ok Liam, other than being soaked.” He seemed ok, unlike the few random scars that she had hidden on her body, even a real ugly one running along the side of her stomach. When she had gotten them she couldn't remember, there was some assumption that it was the reason why she was shoved into a pod.

“I got a bag I hope it’s enough, it took some real pleading with the kitchen staff but someone snuck me out some.” She wasn’t sure if everyone was going to be there but she hoped they would. “Also where did you get the green headband it looks just like the one I had.”

There were scares on Harper’s body, but no bruises, she did have some a little when she had woken up but they no longer seemed to exist. It had really dawned on her though, why or even how. Even the small pinch of breathing when she woke up was no longer there.

“Good. As long as everyone gets one I am happy.” She returned his grin, knowing that if she ate more than two that the sugar was likely to make her sick not that she wouldn’t try anyways after everyone had their fill. Looking up at the headband as he reached for it, she reached up as well letting her finger trace the little design on it, it was definitely hers. “I swear its mine and I didn’t wake up with it, I usually keep it on my wrist. Maybe I did gave it to you? Maybe… I don’t remember…” Her voice trailed off, maybe something really had happened before the pod, maybe it had been a lot worse than she could have imagined bad enough for her to forget the entire time period of over a week. Enough that a lot of them were still unaccounted for.

“To your cabin of course, you promised to show it to me and it sounds better than my room already, afterwards we can meet up with Cecil and the others.” A tour sounded fun but at that moment Harper wanted nothing more than to be with the rest of the university members, the tour would always be around for another day.

Harper looked puzzled at him as he mentioned missing his own memories, it wasn’t just her being in the pod then but some of the others too. It was a discussion though for all of them, and not something she wanted to worry about now after finally seeing them again. “If you need it keep it Liam. I like it better on you having a purpose than me leaving it on my wrist anyways. Just don’t lose it ok, it’s my favorite and I’ll be so wounded that you lost my gift to you.” She turned to him giving a large crooked grin before turning into a soft pout and placing her hand over he heart as if she would just die if he didn’t keep it.

As Liam took her hand she took a step to start skipping to his side, only to find that he had stopped suddenly. Puzzled she didn’t quite gasp what he was doing until he has swooped her up in his arms. Immediately her mind went to protest as she looked at him, and for once she shut her mouth before blurting words out.

Instead she laughed wrapping her hands around his neck. “Only if you insist.”

She returned his grin as they headed outside, of course it was apparently still raining and Harper wasn’t sure if him carrying her was adorable or that she was more of some sort of an umbrella for him at this point. It didn’t matter to her really, if she could have she would have held her jacket over his head too if it helped plus all she had on was some shorts and tights they would dry pretty quickly if she hung them up.

“I won’t, they might be smooshed but still edible.” As he carried her she looked around at the tents and few of the other cabins, it had to be a little miserable, the tent it was with all the rain they had been having. She wondered how many university students were shuffled in them and if there was anything she could do to help.

When Liam set her down she gave a light laugh before grinning up at him. “That was fun, I am glad you insisted. So this is your new home?”

It was like being in the new dorms at Deus for her, the cabin was more spacious than hers but she hadn’t the heart yet to call it home. Maybe after a few weeks, maybe when they found more university people, maybe when she took some time to meet the others in the hallway and chat with them it wouldn’t seem so foreign.

“I am glad Caroline is here, even though we haven’t found where Corey has gone.” She didn’t want to really think of what may have really happened to their leader, or the others missing if they weren’t in pods.

“Yes please and don’t worry about it, I haven’t been in the rain for awhile it was fun…. I mean, I guess if it rained everyday I wouldn’t like it as much.”

“Yea, I’ll keep looking around the island as well. Its really big so it might take a little more time.” There was also trying to fit it around the rest of her schedule and not being shooed away by other hunters for being in places that were not her division.

Harper remained mostly still as he took the towel and started to dry off her cheek, there was of course the grin on her face as she looked up at him keeping her eyes on his. It was a sweet gesture, and by no means was she going to correct him that she could do it herself. Him doing was more fun and she was enjoying his attention at the moment.

She chuckled for a moment trying not to move too much when she did so. “Too bad you don’t have a roommate, sometimes they are perfect for cold nights.”

Harper could see the little bit of flush showing up on his cheeks as she kept staring at him. It only made her grin even more as she kept her eyes on him, even when he was beyond done drying her off but kept trying to anyways. He was rather adorable.

“If I didn’t have to be back at the island I would definitely be your roommate Liam.” As long as he didn’t mind her probably hoping into bed every night to snuggle with him. Not as if she was incapable of sleeping on her own but it was never really any fun and it was pretty cold. “But if I have a night off and its cold you can always message me and I will be there.” There was no mention of her having to leave early in the morning for training and so forth.
