Welcome to Gaia! ::

Outwardly, the house is small and nondescript, with a good-sized front yard, and woods creeping in on the back yard, thought it is sizable as well.

As you enter, you encounter a smallish, one-story house. The kitchen and living room are one large room, seperated by a half wayy (which hides the sink) and a change from carpet to tile floor.

Facing the kitchen, to your left is a hallway.

First room on the left - bathroom

First room on the right - Cantique's room
Cantique's room is a wreck, constantly. Clothes strewn everywhere, posters of her faorite bands on her walls. She has a bed, a computer desk with a laptop,, a dresser and a fold-up butterfly cair, all painted or covered blue. Her carpet and walls are also blue. She has glow in the dark stars stuck up on her celiling. She has black curtains over her windows to keep out the sun.

Second room on the left- Ophelia's room
Opelia's room is markedly neater than her sister's. She has the same furnaiture, but it's purple, along with her walls and carpet. On her wals are posters from musicals and a couple of band posters. The only thing messy about her room are the several books strewn out around her floor, all usually open. Ophelia has a wide window ledge, which houses her window-garden. The box contains snapdragons, her favorite flower.

Second room on the right - Mitsuru's room
Mitsuru's room is furnished identially to Canti and Phelia's, but all in green. He has wall scrolls and posters of his favorite animes. He also has sscrolls written in Japanese, but if e knows what they say, he doesn't say. His bookshelf is stocked with manga and some comics. His desk is scattered with manga-drawing pens, colored pencils and half-used sketchbooks. He has a mini-zen garden on the desk, and a carved wooden trunk in one corner, inlaid with tiny mirrors and silver and gold metal shapes, like moons, stars and suns. There's an ornate silver lock on it to keep it shut.

Back room- Sego's room and bathroom
There is a DND sign on the door, which is almost always locked. ninja

A few hours after leaving, Cantique slips back into the house, looking annoyed. Still, couldn't be helped, she guessed. She slipped back into her room and pulled out the canvas, looking at it, with a critical expression.

"This is terrible. Why do I keep on trying . . . "

Canti jumped at the knock on the door. She quickly tore the canvas off and tossed it into her waste basket bu missed, and left it lying in the floor.

She darted out and opened the front door, eyes wide.

"Oh, hi!"

She blinked, very obviously mortified she'd left her sketch out for him to find.

"M-m-my book? Oh, um, that? It was just a little sketch. They kinda suck. I keep on doing them, though, I don't know why, I'm not very good, but I keep on trying to get good, I haven't the faintest idea why-"

She bit her lip sharply to shut herself up and paused, then opened the door a little wider.

"Do you want to come in?"

She blinked again, looking almost alarmed.

"You . . . you really think so? My work?"

"I would like that . . . I would like that a lot, Po."

She grinned, brightly, holding the notebook against her chest, still, a little inherently ashamed of her work, after all of Cantique's tormenting her about having no class and no culture.

There was a sound from the back of the house, Sego coming out of her room.

"Oh! Hell! Mum's up and about! You've got to go! I'm sorry to send you off like this but . . . nnn! You've got to go!"

She looks genuinely distressed and apologetic as she kisses him on the cheek, markedly more confident this time, and closed the door, as politely as she could in his face.

A little shocked at the suddenness of being pushed out the door, and more than a little at the fact that Canti had kissed his cheek for the second time that day, Po wandered home in a daze
