Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alex watched Chloe for a moment, to make sure she was all right. It seemed the mohawked man had broken her fall, and Zoe was making enough commotion for all of them. She glanced over her shoulder to see Natsuki and Roux, feeling somewhat relieved that he was - as far as she could tell - back to his normal self.

Lorenzo zoomed into view, nearly latching himself on Alex's face. "H-hey, what?!" she exclaimed at the dragon. He zipped back to Roux's booth, making sure to keep low to the ground, lighting on top of --

"Oh." Alex blinked at the Vyn plushie. She must have dropped it when she'd picked up the boy. The woman sighed quietly, not really wanting to upset the Raevan again. Just pick it up, smile and leave, she told herself. It wasn't that she was nervous...she just really didn't want to stress out the lovely Roux. Trudging back towards the booth, her head tucked low, Alex moved to retrieve the fallen plushie.

Content that he'd gotten his point across, Zoe floated back towards the fallen pink-haired girl, chittering.

Roux looked down as Alex aproached once more, his expression only vaugly full of disdain. He pointed up, at the sign above his head, not really realizing that the "OR DIE" scribble might frighten his potential customers away.

If he got green bills, then Chloe would likely give him something he wanted.. well she usually gave him whatever he wanted, but this time there would be a certain sense of satisfaction to it. Acomplishment and besides it was.. fun?

Strange, he'd have never considered something like this fun before..

Alex had bent down to retrieve her plushie, glancing over to see Roux pointing up at his sign. She froze, and this time, it wasn't because of his powers. He wanted her to pay for a kiss, after all?

She tucked the Vyn plushie in her still partially zipped jacket, quirking a curious brow at the Raevan. "You would allow me the honor of a kiss?" she asked carefully. Alex couldn't help but smile at the beautiful young male. His pride was so tangible, it was intoxicating. Even though he didn't like her - Or anybody else but that other Raevan, Alex mused - he was going to allow her to display affection for him.

Carefully pulling out another ten dollar bill, she placed it before Roux on his booth. She'd blown a kiss to him, so she owed him. That, and he deserved the tip.

Alex let out a noise of surprise when the Raevan grabbed her wrist. She wanted to ask what was going through his mind as he stared at the money, wanted to know so badly what he thought. Luckily, Alex was a quick learner, and kept her mouth shut.

When she was yanked forward, she found herself half bent over his booth, so very, very close to the handsome Raevan. Alex swallowed hard, feeling a blush raise in her cheeks at his insistance. Not wanting to pass the opportunity to make things even minutely better between herself and Roux, she pressed her warm cheek against his own, her lips lighting gently on his skin.

The woman's senses were assaulted by Roux's closeness. His skin was like down feathers, soft and pleasant to the touch. The collar he wore was tickling her throat, and his hair smelled like cool air on a crisp, clear day. Even his skin smelled pleasant, reminding her of how the cold had felt in her lungs. Alex had the idea that she could smell the other Raevan on him, but she couldn't tell if her mind was just playing tricks on her, or if she was truly that overwhelmed. Before she could get carried away by the sensations, she started to pull away, murmuring a breathless, "Thank you."

That had just been a kiss on the cheek! No wonder the black and red Raevan had kissed him!

Natsuki walked away slowly, giving Roux a somewhat disappointed look. Not that he cared, but she tried so hard to do the right thing, and it failed. She helped disfuse the sitation, but what little progress she had made with the ice raevan, seemed to get freezer burn. Turning on her heel she stepped away from the booth and walked away slowly.

Catching sight of a boy on crutches and another Raevan, Natsuki smiled. They looked like a happy pair, she thought. Walking over, she greeted them warmly. "Are you enjoying the partie?"

Stopping to look around, Jae Eun finally saw the pink hair of the receptionist not to far away from her. Heading over, she realized there was someone else there. Politely, she introduced herself.

"Um, excuse me! I don't mean to interrupt, but, ah, Ms. Receptionist? I'm Jae Eun! I visited the Lab earlier and left a note some time ago!" she smiled politely, extending her right hand.

Ravi heaved a sigh of annoyance as the man pulling him along fell to the ground. Well, at least the magician had avoided falling on his rear - he'd been in enough awkward moments for one day, thank you very much.

He saw that the man had fallen with another, however. Ravi soon identified the body as Chloe's, not just from her rather poignant haircolors, but because of the labcoat she seemed to always wear, too.

Before he could think to help her to her feet, however, the pink-haired woman had already raised herself and was helping the long-eared man - he hadn't given his name, had he? - to his feet, as well. Ravi wanted to snigger when he saw the man getting flustered by Chloe's presence. Was he afraid of women? How pathetic. What kind of weakness was that?

Following the shorter man's line of sight, Ravi found himself looking at more rows of booths, people, Raevans, and...

Oh, God.

Apparently the celebration wasn't one just for Valentine-themed decorations and bakery stalls. No. The shopping here had a nature much more devious than first suspected by the warlock, who now stared in the face of one of his greater fears. Kissing Booths. He shot a glare in the direction of his company and tried to supress the shudder now attempting to wreck his frame.

Ravi had a "pathetic" weakness, too. Already he had goosebumps, and he didn't want to wait around for his condition to get worse. Ravi... hated... kissing.

Rushing out of the lab much like the fashion Lazarus did before, Kyou quickly straightened his pinstripe grey vest and trying to comb his hair nicely as he headed towards the direction of the laboratory entrance. "s**t!" Kyou muttered angrily at himself. If there weren't any important matters at hand right now, Kyou would've hit his head to the wall numerous times. How could he had slept through the opening of the Valentines event??!! He wished he could blame the alarm clock for not sounding off at the time he wanted it to, until he realised that he forgotten to release the button for the alarm to set off.

Lazarus followed closely behind. It was easy for him to guessed that Kyou had overslept. Kyou usually had a very inconsistent sleeping pattern, and this was also not the first time Lazarus had to wake Kyou up, with or without his orders.

They were very near to the lab doors now. Slowing down his stride a little Kyou pulled out a lip balm from his vest pocket, his lips had some little crack in them and it wouldn't do good. He will be working in kissing booth after all. He do not deny that he's rather nervous about the upcoming endeavor, but for the funding of the laboratory, sacrifices needed to be made!!

Finally gathering up his courage, he stepped up to the lab doors and opened them, stepping into the open outdoors and strided towards the empty kissing booth meant for him. He gave a little tap on Chloe's shoulder as he entered into his booth, silently telling her that he's finally here.
