Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kailani adjusted her straw hat on her head and readjusted the grip on her suitcase. There was a trolley full of different sized suitcases behind her in the elevator, and she felt silly needing a butler to help him take them to her room. When the bell dinged and the double doors slid open, Kailani never felt more alone. Dinha mewed from her carrier atop the suitcases and pawed at the door.

The young man nodded to her and dragged the trolley down the hall. At the very end, he took a key out of his pocket and unlocked the door. Light spilled into the hallway, bouncing off of his pure white spikes. Kailani could hear music playing, but she wasn't sure where it came from. When the trolley was inside, he took Dinha's carrier off and set it on the floor and unlatched the door. The tiny white kitten bolted out and began to intertwine herself between her master's legs. Kailani scooped her up and troked her nervously. "Thank you for your help sir; I can unpack," she mumbled with an uneasy, quavering tone. She smiled at him with total insincerity.

Yoshimi looked at the map the principal just gave her. It had the direction to the girls' dorms. It was called Wingardia. It was basically just infront of her. She walked up to the door, and took out her instuction papers.
She had been given a room when she talked to the Android with the principal a few hours ago. The instructions and tour had took so LONG!
But, Yoshimi had to agree that the school was utterly amazing.
She had a room by herself. Maybe, in time, she would share the room with someone. As she unpacked, she found bits of glass in her bag. Her picture frame had broken. The one where She and her Dearest Friend, Kita Takahashi, had gone to the fruit Parade with the dance club when she was 13.
She found a box of thumb tacks on her new desk, and pinned it up on the wall.
Soon, she stood back, and viewed the Photograph. She and Kita had fixed it on her old Computer. Now she had a laptop, set up on her desk.She silently wondered why in all the world they had dressed that way. Then a pang of sadness came. She missed Kita Terribly.

Yoshimi let out a sigh, and walked into the hallway. There where many places to hang out around the school. Maybe even meet some friends.
Or maybe someone who wouldn't run away, because they thought she would shock them to death.

Mitsuki plops down on her fresh, newly made, white bed. She didn't want a shared room but she didn't want to be any trouble, so she had taken a one to make things easier for everyone and not take up too much space. I wonder who my roommate is? She wondered. She slowly got up and unpacked the few clothes and accesories she had. Just as she started to wonder again who her roommate was, the door to the room opened...

Kailani pranced through the hallways, praying that she wouldn't be noticed. When she reached the elevators, she threw herself inside and watched the mirrorlike doors close before her. She had always loved the sinking feeling she got in elevators. . . She stared at the nightmare she saw in her reflection:

Her collar was untucked, her sailor tie wasn't evel, and her left pigtail was higher than her right one!!! She squeaked and adjusted herself hurriedly. What if the door opened? She leaned forward and removed her left pigtail; her hair had begun making bumps now! Oh, was it the humidity? She combed through her hair until it was perfect again and put it back up into a pigtail. Perfect.

Aili was currently in a warded corner of her room, bent over her latest project. Her long hair was loosely tied back by a pink ribbon to keep the long strands from falling into her work. The papers next to her were filled with color coded diagrams of the flow of elements and reminders of the laws of elements. At the end of the long bench Aili was working at, a silver ciruclar mirror was gleaming, flashing reflections of not the ceiling, but of current events in the school.

Aili was bent over a similar mirror and had both hands clutching the metal frame. She poured raw magic into the dish until it shone brightly. Picking up a small knife, she nicked her left ear, just enough for a drop of blood to appear.

"To hear what goes on."

Aili moved the knife to her eyelids and picked at the flesh gently. An orb of red blood accumulated and fell into the mirror.

"To see what goes on."

Next, Aili repeated the process with the tip of her nose.

"To smell what goes on."

The three drops of blood laid separately on the surface and Aili picked up a bottle of mercury, adding three drops. The silvery earth element mixed together with the blood and began bubbling as it dissolved in the raw power that filled the metal frame.

Aili paused with her work. The process had been the same as the previous mirror, but now she had used her own blood for control over what the mirror could show. The mirror now had a smooth surface and reflected the ceiling. Aili wedged a piece of glass over the center and submerged her project into her bench sink.

The glow of the mirror eventually dimmed and Aili waited until it looked like a normal mirror before picking it up. She picked up a towel and dried her project.

Aili looked at the seemingly normal mirror and then back at the mirror at the end of her bench that was constantly flashing images of the present.

"Show me what Aldora is doing now," she commanded the mirror in her hand.

The mirror didn't flash like Aili had expected, but instead showed an image of Aldora eating ice cream and talking to Ishoa.

Aili could smell the herbs in Ishoa's office as well as hear the words.

"... and then Aili hugged me and said she had faith in me and that she still loved me."

"That's good to hear. I'm sure Aili has gotten over the fact that you entered the test."

"So that's who she confides everything about me to. I should have known," Aili smiled. "Well, at least I've finally succeeded." Aili pulled out a velvet drawbag from a drawer and placed the mirror within it. She pulled out another black drawbag and place the very first mirror in it. She picked out both mirrors and tied them to her belt, before heading towards the staff lounge.

Lily walked into the building Wingardia, the Girls Dorms. She looked around hoping to find a help desk. She noticed one in the corner and walked up to the man sitting behinde it. "Can I help you?" the man asked, "Umm yes," Lily replied. "I was hoping you could get me a key to Liz Anderson's room." The man nodded and quickly looked up Liz's room number, got a copy of the key and handed it to Lily. "Thank you much!" she said running off towards the stairs. After climbing what seemed like endless stairs and floors, she finally got to Liz's room. She quickly stuck the key in the lock and opened the door, she ran in hoping to see a familiar face, but Liz was not in her room at the time. Lily sighed, "Aw Liz where could you be at a time like this??" Lily dropped her bag on the bed and sat down on the edge of it. "Well I guess I'll just have to wait........"

Lily left her burlap bag in her room, but other than that she was in her room for no more that 3 minutes before she left again, headed out with her book, and pencil hoping to finish her drawing of that fountain in the courtyard.
