Welcome to Gaia! ::

"U-Um...no..problem.." Alyssa replied in a soft, sad voice. She felt the kiss against her cheek and although her face burned, she knew deep down that it was just because he had no idea what to do. Alyssa had read his mind after she had kissed him.

Quietly, Alyssa let herself fall backward, catching herself with the crook of her knees. Still in motion, she did a flip and landed gracefully on the ground as if she were just standing. She sighed once more before looking back up at Shepard. "I think you need to work on your skills on how to be intimate instead of your fighting skills." Her voice was cold, and annoyed.

Alyssa did like Shepard, but he didn't seem to feel the same way, so she didn't feel like dealing with him. "Thank you for the gem." She turned sharply and stalked off toward the treehouse in the distance her fists clenched.

OC:Treehouse is still on the playground right?

Alyssa flicked her hair back, keeping it away from her delicately featured face. Suddenly, she needed a smoke badly and realized how long it had been since she had a cigarette pressed between her burgundy lips.

Alyssa hadn't realized her nicotine withdrawl because of the fighting and all the commotion. She pulled a cigarette out of her bag and lit it silently, placing it at her lips. She inhaled the smoke and seemed to relax once she did so."Ahh.."

"He doesn't know how to treat a lady!" Alyssa replied in a cool, slightly hurt tone. She had watched him fly off and decided to go back to talk with Gordon since he was the only that seemed to be around right now. As Alyssa ran back toward him, she took another drag on the cigarette now holding it between her index and middle finger.

"How're you feeling?" Alyssa asked in a much more pleasant tone. Tilting her head to one side with curiousity. Gordon had fought hard and was oblivious to the fact that he was seemingly just fine.

As the young lady walked farther down the road she noticed two shadowy figures in the distance. One looked to be a young woman and the other a young man. "Well at least there are people here.." Kaida mumbled to herself, quickening her pace. Once she was close enough to identify the mysterious others, her eyes nearly fell from her head. Could it...her former best friend that she had not spoken with in years..Alyssa?!

Kaida slowed her pace back to a casual walk as she made her way up behind Alyssa, studying her from behind. If it truley were Alyssa, Kaida would almost get her head chopped off for staring.

"Well, we were discussing stuff ad then I kissed his cheeks in thanks and he just didn't seem to know how to treat me. So I got upset and stalked off. That's about it." Alyssa explained as if it were no big deal. She was taught to lie, and very good at it she was. Her face showed no real expression except disgust.

Gordon sighed. " Its not his fault. You see Shepard has never been one looking for love. Since where family I felt a surge of love and confusion. He always used to think love fwas for the weak. He was never prepared. Just give him a chance. He's a fast learner. Just give him time..I know you have feelings for him. you wouldn't have kissed him. And he wouldn't have kissed you." Gordon said. It became obvious he knew more what was going around. He gave her a smile and a thumbs up. " Just give him a chance. i know you will be surpised." he said.


He suddenly noticed another girl. " who's this? Your sister?" he asked. He was just meeting all kinds of people today.

The drawing of the knife put Jo on edge, her hand whipped itself out of the pocket and near her waist, just far enough to keep the automated holsters from ejecting the pistol. Her hand was stayed only by the smiling face of the "attacking" girl where upon which Jo returned her hand to her pocket, quickly growing bored of the teen drama unfolding before her...

Julia had made her way from the quickly erupting southern courtyard to the playground area where which she spotted two additional figures arrive at the scene. The telescopic capability of the bionic eyes zoomed, but Julia found herself stunned upon witnessing the first arrival. A figure whose dancing scarf surrounded their red clothed figure and distinctive ivory hair marked a novel appearance which could belong to no other. "JO!!!" Julia called out at once as she rushed over to her friend. Ignoring the new faces, Julia's intimidating shell seemed to melt as embraced the other woman, taking care not to grip to tightly with the mechanized arm. Julia was smiling, but realized that for Jo to come, something was going on.

Being embraced by her friend was one thing which forced Jo's lips to curve upward into something that almost made her look pleased, but recalled her objectives. "Julia," she began, "It's not as safe as we thought here. I've caught wind that they will begin sending bounty hunters which have much more battle experience than their agents which you've usually faced. Be on gaurd."

"Got it," she said while lighting a cigarette, taking the time of not talking to check the area, noting how there were several people including her fiendish figure, Gordon. "Maybe we should discuss this later," she whispered, nudging towards the others to imply that it might be better if others didn't get involved. Everyone is so eager to fight here that if anyone catching wind of something that even remotely resembled combat; they'd jump on it like a fly to honey. I don't want others involved...

Alyssa was lost in a deep conversation with Kaida as they walked slowly back the way she came. There was so much to talk about, to catch up on. It was weird seeing her Alyssa had to admit. Besides, what would she be doing at a place like Ria High. "Wait, Kaida do you have abilities?!"

As the walked, Kaida laughed along with Alyssa, her eyes twinkling with happiness. When Alyssa asked the question about her abilties, Kaida nodded and looked down as if it were a plague. She pulled ALyssa to a halt and stepped backward some. Silently, she snapped her fingers and a small blue fireball appeared in her hand. "I hope I'm not ridiculed for this.." Kaida said with a sulken expression still having no clue what this school was about.
