Welcome to Gaia! ::

After a few minutes of students waiting, chattering and gossiping to friends and others around them, a tall female walked out onto the stage, her steps alone slowly commanding attention from the mass populous seated in the Auditorium. Lightly tanned skin, and long wavy black hair met everyone's sight, the figure clad in a light blue business outfit, complete with ankle-length skirt and white blouse. The headmistress had a microphone in her hand, and she cleared her throat lightly before looking out to everyone while some of the other staff stood up on stage with her.

"Hello, students of Pacis Salus. My name is Sarah Kinley, and I am the headmistress of this school." She looked around for a moment, making sure she had everyone's attention. "I welcome all the new students to our school, and I hope you all enjoy your time here. We try and focus on your needs for controlling your abilities, and becoming well-educated adults. A few of you are already getting there." she beamed out to the crowd where a few older students laughed a little.

"These Student Meetings will be here to help let you, the students, know what will be going on here. Special events, maybe even helpful nudges to get some of you working harder towards your goals. You can also ask questions here, but I'd prefer you hold them until after the meeting. Just remain seated, and I will come to you." A student put his hand down, and his friends nudged him a bit. "Anyways, time to get to the point of this meeting. I'm sure you all heard me talk about a 'surprise'. I'm sure many of you would like this little addition to our school."

Logan got into the auditorium late, and went and stood in the back to watch what was going on. The headmistress was talking, and then he blinked as she looked to him.

"Logan Ernst, will you come up here, please?" came a call over the microphone, and many of the student body turned to look at him. A covered blush was given, and Memoria slowly shifted from his spot in the back and wandered up to the stage, curious as to how he could be connected to the surprise for the school. "What do you need?" he asked, and blinked as she smiled and held up a finger for him to wait.


"Would Arkell Lavanya and Erin Leerup both come up here, please?" The Headmistress scanned the crowds, waiting for the two to be called. "Don't worry, none of you are in trouble. Actually, far from it." she called reassuringly, and smiled to Logan to get him to stop messing with one of his gloves. An aura of peace and comfort grew around him, and he blinked before settling. The entire auditorium would feel the same effect.

"This trio makes up the first of our new Teams." The headmistress said, smiling. "All of you will be put in teams to learn how to work together in certain situations. You will be training together so you may learn to work with others with your powers. We will also be working on events that you may have to work in your teams to experience." she waited for the rest of the first team to make it on stage, before she nodded them to stand off to the side a bit.

"Here are a some other teams:
Team 2 consists of Aya Takashi, Lite Hallows, and "Sam" O'Reilly.
Team 3 consists of Alwyn Rowans, Riley Langston, and Harmony Canaan.
Team 4 consists of Terra Carrick, Lois Brown, and Marie Jakemen.
Finally, Team 5 consists of Aki Sarasri, Matthew Parker, and Huilliame De Corbeau." The trio that was on stage, group one, were told they could go sit back down.

"I hope you enjoy this new development, and if you have a problem, please let me know. It has to be something dire for me to remove you from these teams, however, so try and make the best of it! This meeting is over, now, so you can go join up with your team mates! Remember to come up with a name! We'll be posting them on the board in the cafeteria to let everyone know how you all are doing!"


Logan had been a bit embarrassed to be brought on stage, and he walked off with only minor glances to his team mates. A team? And it happened to be the only two people he'd really talked to. One of them he knew lots about, but the other, not so much. Standing off to the side again, he waited for people to exit the auditorium before he could leave.


(( Okay, big post. .__.
Sorry, I didn't mean for it to get that big.
The teams are posted in the 'Lists' post on the first page. When you guys come up with a name in the RP, have someone PM me the final decision so I can put it up. And everyone give my Helpers of Doom some cookies... they helped me a bunch in figuring this out while my brain was fried. @_@

And is the headmistress's color to bright? I wanted something that would attract attention for readers >> wink )

Erin had not given her an answer as yet, but Arkell had become distracted as the headmistress came out onto the stage. Beautiful... was the first thought that popped into her mind as she saw the womans long black hair and tanned skin. She watched the woman as she spoke, listening to her words. That was...until she said her name. Her hair immediately went out with little 'poof' that was audible. Apparently since her skin was so dark she couldn't really go pale and so her hair displayed her emotions rather than her skin tone like a normal person would. She had started shaking again, violently this time, and would have combusted had it not been for the sudden calmness that seemed to stole its way across the crowd.

Her shaking quelled she went up onto the stage and stood beside Logan, looking out at everyone. She should have combusted by this point, but here she was, standing up in front of all these people and she wasn't even shaking really. It felt good to be confident again, and she found a smile graced her face. They were going to be a team? Well it was positive that she already knew these two people. It was amusing that she should already know her team mates, though she was sure it was merely coincidence. This was going to be fun. She stood off beside Logan though keeping bit of a distance from him since he didn't seem to like being near people.

Terra had sat down after the announcement had been made. She didn’t make eye contact with those around her, and instead she looked at the empty stage. Once the headmistress took the stage she listened to her announce teams, hardly eager to hear what team she’d end up on. She was relieved that she and Marie were on the same team since she didn’t really like meeting new people.

“I guess, although I won’t be very helpful since I’m not that creative.” Terra said in response to Marie, “By the way, what’s your power?” She was curious as to what different types of powers people had, and if they were all pratical, or if some were useless, like changing the color of an object or being able to eat anythin.

“Ah, yes,” Marie began. “You may have noticed how a talk, and well is has to do with my power. It… is hard to explain, but it’s basically like hypnotism, using word patterns. It may be better with an example.”

Marie arose and confront at random group of young students, leaving their seats to return to the cafeteria. “Hola...” [Trans: Hello…] and Marie had their attention. The group of four students eyes glazed and they looked upon Marie as if she were a trusted leader. “No, No… mis amigos, no salen, porfavor.” [Trans: No, No… my friends, don’t leave, please.] Her voice was strong and sweet, nothing like that in which she used earlier. It had its own life, fluttering softly and playing into the minds effected. “Sientanse.” [Trans: Sit yourselfs.] The group sat right back in the chairs they had been leaving. “Ah… Muchas Gracias…”

Marie smiled turn back to Terra as the freshmen blinked at one other oddly before rising a second time to leave. She address Terra again in her softened more monotone-ish and controlled voice, “I hope that helped. Since we will be on a team, please be patient with my conver… sational skills. Sometimes I cannot say what I want to because I don’t know how to control that statement, especially if I am emotional.

“What about you?” she asked.

As the helicopter landed Rozen made his way out of the seat he had been in for at least an two hours. He was guided by a friendly hand down some stairs away from the helicopter, where he proceeded to stretch for a moment.

"Hey, where can I get some food mon?, been sittin on dat ting for hours now." The guide brought him to the cafeteria, which coincidentally was right below all the students, he could hear commotion above him, but didn't pay attention to it, he smelled food, and at the moment, thats what mattered.

He was given a tray and was told what was on it, as if he couldn't smell pizza a mile away. Before the person could finish he began digging in, taking a few bites of the pizza, then a spoonful of chocolate pudding, followed swiftly by a gulp of grape juice. He was content while he listened to the commotion upstairs, eager to meet some of the people he would be living with for, what he presumed, to be a long while.

Malcolm Tiberius sat in silence for a moment. Even with no eyebrows, it was still obvious that he wore a skeptical look upon his face. Giving another once over in the mirror, he turned his chair to face the stool across the small room.
"Well?" he asked.
Lucy, his cat, seemed unimpressed. She gave him the same look he'd given himself and began licking her paw.
"Figures," he muttered. Lucy kept licking her paw. Turning back to the mirror, Mal put on a hat and then sunglasses, then turned back to the black and gray cat.
She stopped him before he even spoke, putting her paw down and eying him. He sighed.
"I know," he said, turning once again to the mirror. Without hearing her jump down from her stool, Mal saw Lucy leap onto the desk in front of him. She sat directly between him and the mirror and stared him straight in the eye. Without a word, he sighed and stood, catching his balance for a moment before heading to his trunk.
The room he was in on the boat was small, compact, and metal. A tiny cot was shoved in one corner of the room, while another was occupied by a small desk with a mirror. A single window bore sunshine into the room from the wall across from the door. Currently, Mal's trunk was splayed out on the bed, its contents tossed every which way from his sorting.
He didn't bring much in the way of anything. Mostly, he only had two changes of clothes, a coat, a hat, a pair of sunglasses, and his toiletries. He figured not to bring much clothing since he'd most likely be able to find a place to wear very little of it. At the moment, he wore a pair of slacks, his coat, the hat, and the sunglasses. So far, nobody on this boat knew of his disposition and he wanted to keep it that way.
A knock at his door brought him into high alert. Lucy glanced to the door and then to Mal.
"Yeah?" he called.
"You've got a special visitor," came a voice from the other side of the door.
"What?"
"She wants you to bring all of your luggage up to the deck." Mal thought for a moment.
"What for?" he asked.
"She's taking you off this heap," was the reply. Quickly, Mal put on a shirt, socks, and shoes. Packing everything else, he closed his suitcase and buttoned up his coat. At the door, he turned back to Lucy.
"You coming?" he asked. She jumped down from the desk and glided to him as he popped his collar.
Anything so that people wouldn't notice him.

He made it to the deck and was greeted by a woman in a red suit skirt.
"Malcolm Tiberius," she called to him over the roar of the helicopter settled down behind her. "I'm here to take you to Pacis Salus." Mal was stunned. He said nothing as a man got out of the helicopter and came towards him.
"Let me get that," the man said taking his suitcase. The woman smiled and the two headed towards the craft. Lucy regarded Mal once more and made her way towards the helicopter, her tail triumphantly raised.
"I'm going to Pacis Salus," Mal whispered to himself. "WOOHOO!"


The helicopter touched down on a pad just a little ways from a gigantic dome. The woman in the suit skirt smiled at him and motioned for him to follow her as she walked towards the dome.
"You're just going to go in there and look for your teammates. Your luggage will be brought to your room along with your cat." Mal nodded, still in awe of the enormous building. When he realized that she'd said his cat would be taken away, he tried to stop them, but they had already disappeared.
"She'll be fine," he murmured to himself. Taking a final look around, he made his way into the dome.

Harmony sat in the last row of the auditorium, twirling a piece of hair around her finger. She had arrived late to the meeting but was in time to hear about the teams. Riley and Alwyn, well at least I know one of them she thought letting the hair fall off her finger. She had been talking to Riley before, but now didn't know where he was. On her way to the auditorium she had been swept up by a crowd and was happy she at least got there. Standing up, she searched around the auditorium looking for Riley and wondering who Alwyn was.
