Welcome to Gaia! ::

[[Pools of Doom]]

Well, that was...unexpected. Isi almost let out a loud laugh at how bad his throw had gone, but he kept it within himself. He didn't feel like acting humble right now, especially not when he was just about to have a period of quiet time until this shouting pirate came about.

"I was just testing out the waters," Isi shot back at the doctor, "By the way, you flinched." He had read the rules, so Isi knew that he had two more throws at the doctor before he had to make room for other guests how would like to try and dunk the doctor.

Leaning forward, Isi grabbed another of the softballs they had dug out from the garage earlier that week. Winding up again, Isi took aim at the target and let another ball fly...

[[Pools of Doom]]

Isi had known young boys to accidentally break windows while playing ball from books, sitcom TV shows, and Robin Williams movies, but he had never thought that he would actually end up doing it. Good thing it was just a crack and not a complete shattering of the pane, but Isi couldn't help but feel guilty. The Delaran home had already suffered so many broken windows. There was the time when the window upstairs had been mysteriously broken (by Rivener), the window in the old tree house (also broken by Rivener), and the time Old Maasi had thrown his crutches out of the window, a time when he had known the kindness of Aphismet. Now he had join the ranks of urchins that made their mark on the old plantation home. Isi would have to go and tell Aphi about it and he wasn't looking forward to it, not when the young man had so many other things to worry about. Isi was half speculating the troubled white-haired brother to completely snap at him and take out all his pent up emotion at the boy. For a moment, Isi gulped and he was scared at the thought.

Reaching forward, he took the last ball and rolled the smooth leather surface betwixt his hands. It was cool, soft, and hard, and potential radiated from the ball like nuclear energy. He could either dunk this doctor now (or conceivably later) or break another window.

This last shot would be the deciding factor.

Isi, urged on by the sweet cheering of Natsuki behind him, rolled up his arm for one last time and let the ball take flight toward the target. He had gotten so close last time! Maybe this time, he'd...?

((Pools of Doom))

Natsuki had lost complete track of time since she'd stalked from the kitchen, and she was quickly reminded of it as Kyou made his way over to the staging area for the dunk tank. Guilt swept over her because she honestly didn't expect to lose her temper like that in the least. Despite being flanked with Alex and Jae, she waved over at Kyou, trying to get him to join them. "Dr. Kyou, I've got too many hot ladies over here, and I don't know what to do with them all?!" she appealed to him, motioning to the gorgeous gals to her left and right? What better way to even the odds in the group than baiting a cute guy with your own girl friends. Heck, that was one of the prime occupational hazards of being the wingman. She figured two heads would be far better than one when it came to heckling Tsu. Who better to rattle the Pirate's cage, than his own brother?

"Aw shucks, Isi. Maybe you'll get him next time. You did really well. You were this close," Natsuki said, putting her fingers really, really close together. Giving him a warm smile, she hoped he'd give her a reprieve for making him beet red earlier in the night. She bit her lip as Lazzie shooed Isi out of the way, to make preparations for his own step up to the plate.

"C'mon Lazarus! Sink the Doc's Battle Ship!" she cheered, biting her lip nervously. Truth be told, she wanted her own stab at the dunk tank, but she'd patiently wait her turn. She tried to be discrete, but her eyes were clearly fixated on Tsu. She couldn't help herself, not if she even tried. Simply bantering back ad forth with him was enough to make her wave the white flag of surrender.

Roux gave a boared sigh, unless one of them could suddenly become extremly interesting he was going to move elsewhere. There were many others yet to see his costume, and compliments to be had, he was sure of it. If anything he'd get one of those moony stares that all people who weren't involved with the lab seemed to give the Raevens.

Perhaps if he...

The Raeven floated a bit higher, spreading his wings so the fake ones extending to either side of him, half curling forward like snowy guardians. His own ribbon curled and trailed softly below him, the brilliant blue glow of his ruin only server to make him look all the more magical and angelic. He glanced over his shoulder toward the humans, some vaugly familiar, most not, and wondered if they'd notice.


The Mitya-also gave a small grunt as she was rolled and play-tackled by the older Chimera. She indeed was a kitten, slightly smaller and not as adept or confident in her movements as Mitya seemed to be. She tussled a bit longer, play biting, play scratching, before simply untangling herself from the other Chimera and sitting beside him, trying to look as dignified as possible. She licked a paw daintily - she'd been on the losing end of that play-fight but she didnt' have to act like it!

"Me??" Kyou mumbled as Natsuki motioned for him to go over to her. Though Kyou feel a little odd joining a group of people, girls especially, that he doesn't know. (other than Natsuki anyway) But he don't see a reason to stay either. Popping the last marshmallow into his mouth, he threw the empty bag into a trash bin nearby and moved up to the ladies.

"Hey!" he greeted the group and the newly approached Zavier. Then he moved his gaze towards Lazarus and Tsu sitting on the plank. Boy this is going to be interesting. He mused to himself.

Lazarus scowled at Tsu when he mistaken him for Rivener on purpose. "We'll see about that!" he said, slightly threateningly.

Pushing his spear down onto the ground as if to try and steady himself. With his free hand he threw the ball up lightly and caught it again, a little work out on the grip of the ball. With full intention of hitting the target, Lazarus's eyes focused, his shoulder thrown back with his arm, and he threw the ball at the target...

((Pools of Doom))

If Jae grinned any wider, her smile would be off of her face. And then she saw Dr. Kyou. After having seen Tsu, she did not expect someone as clean-cut ad handsome as the Doctor! Keeping her composure, she introduced herself to the Doctor.

"It's a pleasure to finally have a chance to meet you, Doctor. My name is Jae Eun, but you can call me Jae if you would like." She gave a slight bow with her head. It was probably a good thing Natsuki had one of her arms linked, otherwise she would've rushed the doctor and shaken his hand furiosly, with the worse-case scenario being asking for his autograph! But wow did the Doctor have a charming smile!

She was practically oozing happiness out of every pore of her body at the moment. There was another person who had approached them, a blue Frei it seemed. His cheer for 'Lazarus' caused her head to whip around and find the source of the voice. But oh! His hair looked so soft and touchable!! She disengaged her arm from Natsuki's and took a step towards the Frei.

"Hi, I'm Jae. What's your name?" she said, politely extending her hand.

[entrance]
Graficcha, immersed in a huge black cloak of black fuzz, dressed up as a storm cloud, 'obviously', came inching closer to the entrance.

She'd been out of town for a while, and wondered how the Raevans were, and their keepers.. and the other people who got into contact with them, of course. She doubted she'd get anywhere with anyone, but just to make sure, she'd hidden up in the fluffy cloud, only leaving her eyes visible.
From what she'd been able to gathe in the short time, things had been pretty rough for quite a number of the big 'family'...

The stalker squinted around nervously, breathing deeply in and out to get ther nerves away. Tsk. She was too scared to even go in.
