Welcome to Gaia! ::

Owen whirled around quickly as the boy vaulted off the alley wall, to keep from having his back toward him. Suddenly, a series of minute sounds reached Owen's ears; the answers to the tiny hissing noise he had made moments ago. His eyes radiated anger now as he stared at the boy now blocking his way. As his anger began to mount, his hesitant stutter began to disappear. "I haven't...even seen you before. And it doesn't.....matter if I did. You can't decide anything for someone else; pretending you can only makes you a bully. And all bullies have to rely on is themselves." As he finished, he heard the sound grow louder; he didn't have to turn and look to see the moderate swarm of cockroaches he had sent a call of distress to. Probably not the most threatening insects, but one of the only ones that would come in a significant number in a filthy place like this. As they seethed behind him, their hiss seemed to echo the word: Bully, bully, bully. Owen's hand clenched tighter around the can as he stood there, unmoving, while the brown mass throbbed behind him. "I'll say it again. Let me leave. And before you say anything, you may or may not know that there's police and firemen on the other side of that alley. If you make a scene, it's sure to bring them."

Victoria's eyes came back into focus as Rouge responded to Tabitha's comment just before strapping herself into the convertible's driving seat. She hardly needed the Southerner's open warning to realize how risky borrowing this car was, and how red their hides would be if they got caught. Keeping that in mind, a fast getaway in the 'borrowed' car seemed liked the most logical plan of action...

"You don't have to tell me twice," she said, hardly hesitating as she uprooted herself from where she stood. Within an instant, Victoria had called shotgun and slide smoothly into the front passenger seat of the convertible. "Sorry Tabby," she, with only a drop of smugness. "Back seat's all yours, I guess."

(I always get the back seat)
Tabitha got into the back seat. She didn't really enjoy sitting in the back seat most of the time, but she guessed she woudn't mond it this time. She looked up front at the driver and said "Okay, we're all in so let's get this get on the road and find something." she said.

Kevin said "I don't know." as he heard Conner's question and the sirens. Then he noticed the direction of the truck and said "I hope the guess I want to make isn't right though."

Ben walked sleepily into the Kitchen. He had just woken up on the front lawn on the mansion and was very confused. He walked to the refrigerator and pulled out a large slice of cold pizza before eating it cold. As he chewed on the cheese of the pizza he watched the news and saw that seven kids in the area of the school hd gone missing. He saw many other shocking news reports and found himself watching the news in awe.

Dairus was able to stop by nearly tripping. He shot over to were Kidd was on the curb. "Holy s**t, are you ok?" he asked run over to her and offering a hand up. They guy in the car flipped him off "f*** you to buddy" he responded knowing that the guy wouldn't hear him it made him feel better though

Kidd took his hand and hopped to her feet, rubbing for poor bum. "Ya, no problem. Hey know what, I think I'm going to buy a watch to day, ‘cause it looks like its getting dark, wonder what time it is." she said more to herself then Darry. She pulled him along through te front doors of the Bayville mall, and over to one of those teen skate shops and started looking around. "Oh check it out!" Kidd squeaked pointing to a light blue watch with a digital display. "It's water resistant and blue! My colour! Perfect." she waved over one of the young looking attendants and pointed to the watch. "Will this work in the cold?" she asked.

"Um...should." she looked the extremely pale girl up and down and thought for a moment, as the ice on Kidd's hair tinkled with her movements. "How cold?", he asked.

"Um, pretty cold." Kidd smiled

"I think you'll be ok up till minus 30 calceus." the store clerk answered.

"Fabulous, I think that can be done." Kidd smiled, turning to Darius. "Something I have to watch. I'm not exactly the normal body temp it you hadn't noticed

John took his first step out of the cab sence he had gotten in it many hours ago. He nearly fell over as the door was closed and the vehicle sped away. He watched it go with a sort of acceptance; his only chance of going back left with it. He stared up at the large mansion with a simplistic gaze. So this was the place huh? The acadamy for mutants they called it. He reached up and pulled a strap on the white straps that covered his face which revealed violet skin. He replaced his black sunglasses which had been on his face before he pulled the straps. So be it. he thought. He walked in a straightforward and dignified fassion. He would never have come to a hellhole like this place if he had had a choice, it was a breeding ground for the creatures he had so recently ridiculed. When he saw this school in his mind it was always the same: A dark void circular and outstretching, with fierce cries and horrifyinglimbs reaching out of it. When he saw the calm casual building with birds tweatering nearbye, it was nothing short of a relief. Even a touch of originality might have been to much for him. Gathering up what courage he needed he walked up to the door pulling his hood over his face. Courage only took a man so far.

Mori sat quiet the whole time, she rested her head against the seat. The music flouted into her ears as she looked out at the landscape, she didnt really have much to say about any of it...
