Welcome to Gaia! ::

Xochiquetzal reached the hallway and.. ah. She couldn't find the boy. Hm. Odd. Xochiquetzal didn't remember having a black out in between the doorway and the hallway – perhaps the pause to speak to the pale boy in class had the other escaping? She sighed; no romantic advice, she supposed.

It would have to be another day that she spoke with him – or.. perhaps, she should have spoken to the pale boy. He would have been just as knowledgeable on the romance as the other would have been – he did have long hair, after all, which appeared rather feminine.. She wouldn't be surprised if he was the woman in the relationship. In that case, the woman would know better what Xochiquetzal should do!

She turned around and was about to head back inside when she saw a tall, dark haired man briefly pass through the hallway and go into a classroom. ...Her fiance? Oh. He was more important. She dropped her hand from the doorknob of the classroom and moved after him instead.

[Exit Xochi!]

Aerin didn't feel like heading to the library after their substitute advised them to do so. There was only so much trash she could handle at once. So, she was merely minding her own business and strolled down the halls, simply exploring around. That is until she stumbled upon a gorgeous creature. Awh, it was a bee! How cuuuute! It was so huge, and it seemed to be taking its wrath out on the boy's bathroom. That was so precious!

While it's distracted, maybe she could... hug it? Yes! Definitely! How could she not? As she did her best to creep behind it, Aerin immediately wrapped her arms around the adorable insect, swinging it around and... practically squeezing its guts out. That is if the bug was really there. Instead, it had magically poofed away, leaving behind a very disappointed Aerin.

Ihsan left the bathroom, pausing in the hall long enough to listen to the announcement about the early dismissal of school. Ah. Well, that was nice. He wondered what he should spend the afternoon doing?

Perhaps reading some more? Or perhaps he should visit the city again. He was unsure. His feet started in the direction of the library as he contemplated the best option.

Ihsan did not immediately realize the screeching person was talking to him until he heard footsteps and turned to see Ayu running at him. It was then he remembered the silly nickname from the previous health class. He watched Ayu warily, keeping his expression carefully impassive, hoping she wasn't going to be sick again.

Because one never knew about these things.

"Elsewhere, where?" he asked. Come to think of it, he really hadn't seen many other people around her. Nearly every time he had run into Ayu, she was alone. Perhaps she didn't have any friends.

Then again, it was possible the ear splitting shrieks had either driven everyone away, or caused their heads to explode. What a formidable ability.

Ah, the shopping mall. Ihsan knew that place though he hadn't actually been there yet. It seemed to be a place that attracted a great many young people. He supposed young mortals liked to shop. Well, that wasn't surprising , really. The market back home was always crowded as well. "Very well," he replied. "I'll go with you." He reached over and took the book she was carrying with her, opening to flip through the pages. He tipped his head to the side. Was she reading this right now? Or did she have it so she could read it to some child?

Bored, he handed it back to her.

"Lead the way. I'm unsure how to get there."

After early dismissal, Sethrian went in search of Kamil, Renivere, Kasie and veith. He figured that since they had the afternoon off, they should go do something together, as a group. Namely, he was thinking, the beach. He and Renivere had been very limited what they could do over the winter since he couldn't handle the cold.

But spring had finally given way to summer and it was warm enough to be outside. The beach was probably lovely right now, so he thought it would be nice to go down for a few hours.

If, of course, he could actually find everyone.

Huh~? The prude seemed to have run off pretty quick! Sani frowned as he exitted the classroom and stood in the hallway, hands in his pockets while he glanced up and down the halls. Of course, it was pretty empty considering everyone was in class and Sani didn't even remember a hall monitor existing.. He guessed he would just have to wander them until he spotted the girl – hopefully, before one of her many suitors decided to run in and interrupt the fun. Really, he found it odd how popular she was! She was attractive, yeah, but, if memory served him right, fiery women like her were usually ignored rather than pursued. ...But, every one of her suitors were pretty weird guys. Except demon kid, but, after he saw him with Ihsan, he just assumed the guy was a shameless whore.

Oho! There she was~! Sani didn't have to walk for very long before he saw the miffed girl heading down the hallway – still agitated, if he got the body language right! Good, he was worried she would have calmed down by the time, but it seemed she had decided to stew in it instead. Or maybe he was just being optimistic. Eh, either way, she would be agitated before long~! He headed up to her immediately, doing the first thing that came to mind – which was running a hand up her back with a casual greeting of, “Heeeeey, princess!” He backed up a step in preparation for her usual response, holding up his hands defensively while he continued to jabber away, “Just came out to see how you were doing, princess! It would be ungentlemanly if I left you alone just after you tried to rip the art teacher's throat out.”
