Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yume strolled into the Dining Room, intent on causing some mayhem. Five...Four...Three...Two...One. On cue, someone in the dining room slipped and fell over some mysterious object that just happened to be on the floor. I love my job!

As she walked over to place an order, she saw a girl who looked about the same age as her, if not younger. Hey! You! Yume ran up to the girl, her combat boots making loud sounds as they pounded against the floor. She finally came up to the girl, panting slightly, and opened her mouth to speak. I'm Yume! Want to be my friend?

Yume grinned then jumped into the air. Alright! First week at Ria, and a new friend already! Score! She pulled out the chair and looked at her new friend. Risshun...that's a cool name! You must think I'm weird or something because I'm so hyper...but I'm usually like this. I have to be for my job, you know. Oops...I think I've said too much... Yume giggled and clamped her hands over her mouth. Sorry, I had a few peices of candy this morning...It makes me all hyper and gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside!

Yume's eyes turned to her fingernails, which were painted black with a red rhinestone in the center. So, where do you come from and what do you like to do?

Yume tapped her chin, not hyperactive for once. Me? Well, I'm not so special either. I guess I can explain to you everything that's happened to me and why I'm here, because when you're friends with me, Yume Akimoto, weird things are bound to happen, and I'll have no time to explain what caused it. First off, I'm Yume Akimoto. I come from Korea, which is sort of far also. I like to draw, I like to read, listen to music, write, and make my job as fun as possible. You probably want to know what my job is, don't you? Well, I'll give you a full demonstration. I'll explain why my name is japanese when I'm from Korea later, okay?

Yume snapped her fingers and counted backwards outloud. Five, four, three, two, one! A loud crash was heard as some poor unsuspecting guy got hit in the face with a door while going out. Do you see? I'm a jynx. I can change someone's luck with a snap of my fingers. Go on, say that you're scared of me. Yume cringed slightly, waiting for the horrified screams, or the footsteps getting softer as they ran away.

Yume stared at Risshun. I've never met anyone who thought my powers were amazing...but, I guess you could say I decide people's luck. If you want some of my powers, go right ahead and take some from me. As weird as this sounds, you have to actually contain some amount of spirit powers to do this, but um...you have to kill me, then make sure I'm revived again.

((Okay, I have to go, but I'll be back later!) biggrin )

Yume's immense curiosity got the better of her when she asked her question. Powers? You have powers? Yume placed her elbow on the table and rested her chin on her hand. This school is just so strange, I can't even begin to describe it...

Realizing that her stomach was grumbling, she laughed and held up her index finger. One moment please! I have to go and get something to eat. Yume laughed and ran to the counter where she took out her ID card and slid it in. Number 20, hold the tomatoes, and a chocolate Number 15. A few seconds later, there was her BLT Sandwich, hold the tomato, and her chocolate milkshake. I love the dining hall...

She turned around and smacked into something solid. That was no wall... She looked up and saw familiar dark hair and sparkling indigo eyes. Ishi!

Yume looked from Ishi to Risshun. This, my good friend, is Ishimaru Taiki. Ishi or Tai for short. He's my boyfriend! She realized how akward that sounded, and she laughed nervously. Not actually my boyfriend, more like we're on and off. Lover's spats I think they call them. After a few weeks we get back together.

Ishimaru stole the milkshake from Yume and drank half of it, handing it back to her. He smirked at her shocked face. I guess this is why we get into fights. I'm always stealing her food when she least expects it. She gets really mad, and-- Yume threw a right hook at Ishimaru's chin and watched as he took a few steps backwards from the force. You drank...my milkshake! Ishimaru Taiki, you big, pompous jerk!

Well, it's nice to see Yume associating with proper ladies such as yourself. He took Risshun's hand and kissed it, making Yume gape. You're never a gentleman like that to me! I'm a lady too, so show me some respect! Ishi laughed. Show me a lady, and I'll show you respect.

Yume gasped in mock horror and listened to her friends' idea. She laughed at her friend's plan. I would, but he's the exact opposite of me. I'm a jynx, and he's a well...a...um...well, he's the opposite of a jynx. He'll raise his luck back up to normal, if not higher. I've tried... Yume threw another punch at Ishi, but he caught her fist and held it. Temper, temper. Yume huffed and drank the rest of her milkshake, trying to make herself feel better.

You're going to get fat.
I don't care!
I do. I can't have a fat girlfriend with me!
Do you have a thing against fat people?
No, I just don't my girlfriend to be unhealthy.
You're still a pompous jerk.
And you love me for it.
Keep dreaming, Ishi. Keep dreaming.

Yume stuttered a little bit. This was always sort of hard to explain. Well, you see, when you have powers to control things in a mortal's life, you have to go take what other people would call 'classes'. Ishimaru took over from there. It was to train our powers and what-not. We were put into pairs, one guy, one girl. Each with the opposite powers. We just happened to be stuck with each other. Yume grinned. Here comes the funny part. Ishimaru and I disliked each other so much back then, we were handcuffed to each other for about a month. Obviously, it was hard. However, we got through it by using our heads. After that, we couldn't stand not being near each other. So, that's how we met.
